There's a fun story about love, KALX, Berkeley, Fugazi, and the Gilman on KEXP Seattle's blog.

Jonathan Lethem's latest novel "The Fortress of Solitude" includes a fictional character who DJs at KALX Berkeley. The book also references real live KALX DJs like Gail Warning, Marshall Stax, and Sex for Teens! A recent review of the book can be found at the SF Chronicle website.

Grateful Dead music video for the song "Touch of Grey" (at 2 minutes 28 seconds) - fan in the audience that tosses a rose into one of the band members mouth is wearing the KALX "discus throw" T-Shirt.

The 2006 documentary on the Holy Modal Rounders titled "Holy Modal Rounders...Bound to Lose" (imdb link) begins with a lengthy phone interview by a KALX DJ.

Local Oakland band The Late Night Dates recorded a song entitled "My KALX" that can be heard on their website. It's raw. It's punky. It's fun, check it out.
