Jessie Jessup is the wild spirit most FM listeners expect out of a DJ. Dallas/Fort Worth’s 102.1 KDGE, formerly 94.5 -though Clear Channel owned- has voices that care about Indie. After explaining why she felt Brand New didn’t test well enough for airplay, here are some of her favorite indies of all-time.
- >God Lives Underwater – One of the most UNDERVALUED bands of the 20th century and at the top of my list for eternal devotion. They are miraculous in their goodness. Timeless and exceptional artists who should have gotten more respect from the industry
- >Poe – The original Angry Psycho and my good friend. She puts the poe in POET. Haunted a classic record that came with two books which you MUST READ IMMEDIATELY! House of Leaves and The Whalestoe Letters.
- >Ursula 1000 - Groovy, fabulous, retro fun. Their records always sound fresh, fun and INCLUSIVE. EVERY album is a party
- >The Crazy Ivans - CRAZY DELICIOUS this band Check out 6 feet above the sheets.
- >Club Des Belugas - Gotta love a band that can write and perform songs about dead cats on porches and the men who prefer them to women
Jessie’s time slot on KDGE is 2pm – 7 pm. If you’ve got an iPhone or Blackberry, use iHeart radio to check her out.

Hey Jessie, Nice set of recs! I agree with your God Lives Underwater comment, very undervalued. Poe, hey is she still around? Ursula 1000 always gets the party started. The other two I’ll have to look into. Haven’t heard of them before. Thanks for sharing and I’ll be sure to check into your KDGE show.
Yea, when she said God Lives Underwater, I knew she would be a great voice for Recs…Nice pics Jessie!
