It's 49F and the rain gauge just announced 0.29" - the most in a long time. If @Eklektikos were still with us he'd be playing every song with Rain in the lyrics.
Missing this little slice of life. For the love of John, bring back wolves on shirts!

We're heartbroken to tell you that our beloved friend and colleague John Aielli passed shortly before 8 a.m. this morning. He was such a joy to work with, and so important to what KUT and KUTX have become. ❤️We're going to miss you, John!❤️ ow.ly/y0F950K87t7
Our hearts are heave today with the passing of longtime @KUT and @KUTX host @johnaielli. statesman.com/story/entertai…
It's been a tough day for us at KUTX, so we're logging off now to tend to our hearts. 💙 Keep the memories of #johnaielli coming, and we'll keep you posted on our plans to celebrate him on the air.
Please share your favorite Eklektikos memories, song discoveries, etc.. I want to celebrate all of them. I've always promised to never try to emulate John Aielli, but this morning, let's work together to feel those days *cue wind chime and thr sound of tomatoes growing...somehow*
Appropriate day to share one time @Eklektikos touched my life. He played this song I would otherwise have never heard, a stunningly beautiful 16C elegy. “Tallis is dead, and Music dies!” cc @KUTX youtu.be/pf7aPFkT-7U
No amount of words can capture what John meant to so many people. He was always unapologetically himself and helped us embrace our childlike wonder. He was our inspirational cup of coffee on our morning commute. And above all he was contagiously kind. We’ll miss you, John.
My favorite John Aielli memories are as a listener. But I remember in 2013 when Patty Griffin + Robert Plant played @KUTX. Robert asked to meet JOHN! John came in + gently tugged Plant's hair to see if it was "real" (you can see his hair sticking up in this pic). Classic Aielli♥️
A true Austin personality. I was a huge Aielli fan since the first minute I heard @Eklektikos -- I still remember that moment vividly. It was probably 1994 and I was in the Academy Dr. studio of some graphic design colleagues. @KUT was on and John was probably playing frog songs.

RIP to John Aielli. An absolute legend
RIP John Aielli. In a brief encounter in Austin years ago he commented on my voice and @blibal mentioned I used to do radio. He said it wasn’t good for radio and that I should’ve been a singer instead. Still can’t believe that happened.

I’m so sad at the loss of @Eklektikos @KUTX. I miss my morning commute with you, John, and hope the broadcast technology is easier to manage wherever you are ♥️
Eklektikos was my weekday 9-noon soundtrack for years, first on KUT then on KUTX when it launched in 2013. He introduced me to so, so many artists. And so delightful. Absolute legend. kutx.org/eklektikos/rad…. @Eklektikos #shitjohnaiellisays @KUTX

Loving this @KUTX special on @johnaielli @Eklektikos . Distinct memories of making dinner while listening to him at the beginning of our time in Newbs. It was such a wonderful sense of home. Miss hearing his voice and music combos.
Same!!!!!!
“For years I have not gone to the haircut store, cut it myself.”
@KUTX @Eklektikos @KUT I never even heard of John Ailli until the day he died. Been listening to KUT daily since Jan. 6, and the way they've been talking about him, I now know that I missed a huge opportunity by listening to stupid morning shows on other stations instead of him.
@KUTX @Eklektikos @KUT I listened to the tribute this morning. Continued to listen to the piece that was played at the end, and was just about to switch over to KUT when I realized that what I was hearing next was Funeral for a Friend. I cried like I'd lost someone I'd loved for years.
@KUTX @Eklektikos @KUT You guys should offer a CD set of all of his shows at the next fundraiser. I'd buy it.
@KUTX @Eklektikos @KUT A beautiful tribute. The best way to honor John’s legacy would be to step back and take an honest look at how far KUT / KUTX have drifted from the type of programming that made it original, imaginative, inclusive and great. John grounded us in time and place and what unites.
Coming up on Sept. 8th, @KUTX & @KUT will host a memorial for John Aielli at @ParamountAustin. Come by. kutx.org/kutx-presents/…
@TaylordAirwaves @Eklektikos One morning he played O Superman by Laurie Anderson. I had never heard it and that eight minute song was a revelation. Thank you @johnaielli
