Friday, June 21st was the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. This year, KEXP dedicated the daylight time to celebrating beauty and joy of a declining trend - long songs. All day, KEXP DJs only played tracks longer than 6 minutes and 13 seconds, the length of Bob Dylan’s classic "Like a Rolling Stone." While the "Long Songs" programs are no longer available via the 14-day Streaming Archive, you can revisit them now now using KEXP Remixed (beta).
