...but tonight...you belong to me.

About Me

IMPORTANT NO-FI "ANNOUNCEMENTS"
Right now we are lining up guest DJs to host future episodes of No-Fi "Radio". (In fact we have 3 guest DJs for October as Quin is taking the month off). Right now we are sticking with people we know one way or another, but if this is something YOU are interested in, let us know who you are and what you'd like to play (remember we play a lot of true indepenent bands that you'll probably never hear anywear else so think along those lines).
Also we are currently seeking one more DJ to do ONE show per month on a more permanent basis. Preferably female since it's already a sausage fest round these parts (granted, we aren't really macho men or anything, but it would be nice to add a gal to the mix). If you are intersted, please let us know and tell us what kind of show you'd like to do.
ABOUT US:
We are a weekly online radio station spawned from a local music and entertainment magazine called No-Fi "Magazine". You can hear each show anytime all week, night, or day using Realplayer. Check us out at:
www.nofiradio.com .
We recently celebrated our 150th episode of No-Fi "Radio"! We're still celebrating...you can still hear that episode and all our most recent episodes archived online on the No-Fi "Radio" site.
Write us with requests or to introduce us to your band!

My Interests

pajama parties, independent bands, independent musicians, artists, independent writers, footsies, photography, retro design, burlesque, silverlake, weird movies, boobs, retro magazine covers, yo momma jokes, 70s headphones, turntables, japan, independent venues, local bands, disneyland, haunted mansion, comedy, 70s porn, fading celebrities, weirdos, people watching, independent filmmakers, riot nrrrds, nerdy girls, and all sorts of stuff

I'd like to meet:

New truely independent bands in the punk, pop, powerpop, nrrrd rock, noise, new wave, newer wave, garage, lo-fi, and no-fi scenes.

If you scream, yell, jump around, or bend music into a new new direction, we're probably more likely to play your band than any clear channel or infinity broadcasting station will.

We also always want to hear from new listeners from all around the world. If your friends think you're weird because of the music you listen to, this is probably the online station for you. We always like getting e-mail from listeners for song reqeusts, introducing us to new bands, or just to say "Hi."
