Lets face it, who is listening to the radio all that much anymore? Nearly every vehicle has iPod docks, or satellite radio capabilities. Or we are listening to Pandora, I Heart Radio, or the many other streaming services through our smart phones. And honestly who can blame us. Radio stations are corrupted by limited playlists or stricken by the uber corrupt Payola policy derived from major record labels.
If you are an Austinite, or simply a visitor, then you need to listen to KUT, or 90.5 FM locally. It is an auditory pleasure freeing us from the burden of tuning in to the same 8 songs over and over again. KUT plays a WIDE array of tunes, B-sides, avant garde, vintage, and experimental. When we do get a chance to listen to it, nearly every time we hear something that we never have before, and that is what music is truly about; discovery.
KUT is holding a pledge drive and we urge you to hop on over here and make a donation today. KUT is run by us, and 87% of public donations keep the station pumping music 24 hours a day. We also greatly appreciate them, because they actually care about the local music scene. They gladly support up and coming talent here in town, and are highly involved with HAAM, the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, which is free health care for struggling local artists.
Still unsure, well tune in to their station, or click the picture above and learn more about them from their website.
