This site is a companion to my radio program, RANDOM AXXES, aired weekly on our local community radio station, KMUD.
The idea behind this web site is a simple one: to put the listener directly in touch with the artist(s). If there's something you heard on my show, something you like from a band you've never heard of, you can visit this site, find the song list for the show in question, and follow the link to that band's web site, or one of the web sites dedicated to that band (Often a fan site will be better than the 'official' site).
Whenever possible, I encourage you, the listener, to buy direct from the artist. An ever-increasing number of musicians are taking to the Web, releasing albums old and new through their own independent labels, thus bypassing the corporate record companies, commercial hype, and other barriers. I see this as one of the highest possible uses for the Internet; Grass-Roots Cyberdistribution. Music by, and for, the people. That's the idea.
Or maybe it's only Rock And roll...
