WMXM is a student-run radio station at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, IL. It’s one of the last of it’s breed.
This station has been active for over 30 years, and continues to bring independent new music to the airwaves every day. As a free-format non-commercial station, WMXM is one of the most diverse and honest radio stations in the country. Our goal as a station is to promote local and national independent music, news, and culture. We want to give a voice to those things not commonly heard and provide a unique and free listening experience only possible by college radio.
I stumbled upon this station while it was playing a jazz song and i immediately added it to my presets. Ive only been listening to this and 93.1 since. Best radio station by far!!

Tripped across the station one day while fiddling with my pre-sets. Loved the music, and WMXM is now my 1st pre-set.
One question though, I have noticed the music is on a large loop (4 hours?) Please tell me this is just because of finals or something likewise temporary.
If there is a lack of people who want to work the dials, I volunteer! I am in Highwood, only 10 minutes away.

Thank you Miss DJ.
WMXM (Lake Forest College Radio, 88.9fm) is glad to be hosting Gypsyblood w/Heavy Times on March 2nd, 2012. We’d love to open our doors to the public for a concert in a way that only a College Radio station can: in a Gothic-style Chapel built in the 1800s. Â

Gypsyblood
“noisy and fuzzy intensity to a sonic extreme just for the thrill” – Consequence of Sound
After the breakup of their first group, Adam James and Kyle Victor, the two quickly got to work on their new project, and the partnership turned into something of a creative fit. They wrote and recorded over 30 songs in a single winter on equipment usually reserved for film audio recordings, and the product Cold in the Guestway is a showcase of the duos talent.
Heavy Times
As Chicago’s most lethal band of the fast-rising noise pop neurotics, Heavy Times have carved out a uniquely hypnotic sound that’s hard to pin down but easy to fall for, and fast.
