31 Days of Free Music: Music That F***ing Matters
Mar 8th, 2007 | By James Lewin | Category: Digital Music, Podcast QuickiesMarch 08: It’s 31 Days of Free Music month at Podcasting News. Every day in March, we’re highlighting a free music podcast.
The University of Washington’s KEXP is a great example of what public radio can do. They play an eclectic music mix of rock, hip-hop, electronic, country, blues and world music. You can stream many of their specialty programs from their site.
KEXP also publishes several podcasts that you can listen to online, download to your computer or sync to your portable media player and take with you. The station’s Music That Matters podcast mixes full-length songs from some of its favorite artists from the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
A recent episode of Music That Matters looked at music that the radio hosts would like to be able to share with listeners, but cannot play on the air due to FCC regulation against profanity on the airwaves. It’s a heartwarming collection of memorable tunes, like Slam Suzanne’s I Like To Say F***, and Brazilian Girls’ Sexy A**hole.
It’s not for the faint of heart – so don’t say we didn’t f***ing warn you!
