College radio provides listeners with new music you will never here and older
music that has shaped
bands you like. I have no
hostility nor attention toward formatted stations, simply they just don't play what I like. The only college radio station I really know is KVRX, radio station of The
University of Texas.
If it's one of those nights, 2AM a little on tilt in a passenger seat, KVRX is perfect! You never know what they are going to throw at you. Last night, rolling dowtown, I heard Kill the Poor. Dead Kennedys on the radio? They play several types of music including punk, rock and roll, hip hop, trance, blues, and even some country. Sadly, they do reject some of the music you request. I have been told," That's a little too mainstream." At first pissed at their attitude, I realized the nice integrity they keep with their music.
They have tunred me onto many bands. Trans Am, Polvo, Pussy Galore, and Deltron 3030 just to name a few. Also, they give away great things that are easy to win at 3AM in the morning. If you are ever in Austin, TX between 10PM and 10AM, tune into 91.7 KVRX...........
