Frequently Asked Questions

The KRAZY Queue Home | FAQ |



Q:  What kind of animal is your mascot?  A: It is a hip platypus!!!

Q:  Why a platypus?  A: The Platypus is unique and has an unusual appearance.  It is an egg-laying,  duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal.  I felt the unusual music blend on the KRAZY Queue would be best represented by a platypus.

Q:  Why the word "Queue"?  What are you - French??  British??  A: Pronounced "Q" - it is a computing term for a series of files, which in this case, are song files to be played.  By the way, the 'crazy' part is the songs vary wildly with respect to decade and genre.  I use the spelling "Krazy" in part to be snarky, and to avoid being confused with a discount store located in South Los Angeles.    

Q:  How can I listen to the KRAZY Queue?   A: Any internet connected device that has sound capability can be used to listen to the station.  The station is served by LIVE365 - an internet radio streaming service.  Here's more info:
