Join KMSC as we participate in Vinylthon. We will be playing about two hours of nothing but vinyl at the station and hope to keep the spirit of vinyl alive and kicking!!!
“We want to remind everyone that for many of us, vinyl is still very important,” says, Quicke. “Before computer algorithms and commercially-driven streaming services there was college radio. And we passionately believe that we are still the best musical curators out there!” added Quicke.
The event was organized by the College Radio Foundation, a non-profit charity based in New Jersey, that also organizes the annual College Radio Day event (this year on November 4). The CRD event unites hundreds of USA college radio stations every year and has been recognized and supported by such public figures and artists such as President Obama, Moby, Coldplay, Wilco, Andrew WK, Aviici, The Lumineers, Wyclef Jean among others. TIME called College Radio Day ““A nationwide movement…illuminating the cultural significance of student-run radio.”
