Every week they post their top 30 on the kuci-talk mailing list -- I
figured I'd share them with you, since their music picks are generally
good, and are most definitely not the mainstream preprocessed mush Gerber
baby food the record companies like to spoon feed the populace at large.
KUCI typically stops playing any song that starts getting major commercial
air time.
You do have to be careful about DJ crusades, though. For example, Texas is
the Reason is currently being pumped by one or two DJs and their friends --
they're good, but maybe not #8 good. Also, this list spans many musical
styles, from indie to noise, hip hop to techno, rap to ambient.
Enjoy.
