WHAT IS Bat Country Radio?:FIRST THINGS FIRST - I. DON'T. PLAY. COUNTRY. MUSIC!!!
[exception: Mike Ness]
I don't care what they say - any so-called rock radio station that sees nothing wrong with playing "Stairway to Heaven", "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Freebird" like 1000 motherfucking times a week deserves to spend eternity in Guantanafuckingmo Bay - that's not Radio, that's GROUNDHOG DAY RADIO. It's a cancer, a blight and a miserable soul-sucking scourge on the airwaves - and BCR is the fucking cure. It's nothing less than the best goddamned rock radio show in Tucson, if not the entire state [that nobody knows about]...120 minutes of pure, free-form sonic bliss that airs every Saturday morning from 3-5 a.m. [AZ TIME] on
Community Radio 91.3 FM KXCI in Tucson, Arizona.
If you're outside Southern Arizona, you can listen online by following this link.
I play a mix of classic and current stuff, mainly drawn from (but by no means limited to) the garage/punk, metal/thrash and alternative/grunge/stoner rock bands of the '70's to the present and seasoned with occasional bits of comedy, satirical news. op-ed and spoken word type-stuff....sometimes it's all about the metal, sometimes it's more punk, sometimes more alt-grunge, but it's never the same from week to week.
And a couple more things - I'm sorry if this makes me uncool or unhip or whatever, but I have no interest whatsoever in promoting local music for the sake of promoting local music, or in adding every single band that sends me a request. I say this because I had a local acoustic/indie/emo/alt-country/whatever solo artist get really fucking offended when I denied his add request.
As much as it may offend or piss people off, I only add bands/artists that are in the general neighborhood of the genres I've described above and see no fucking sense in adding "Billy Joe Jim Bob and His Inbred Jug-Band Ensemble" if I never play Jug-Band music - which I don't - so there.
