something you should know about me is yesterday cbc music played an ENTIRE recording of brahms’ epic violin concerto in d maj., which you may know from its excellent use in ‘there will be blood,’ and i fully considered being late to selling cheese just to hear the third movement.

proud alum of the first radio station to stream online, proud alum of a place with a weird wonderful wacky collection of music, listen if you dare (plz do dare)
Who needs spotify when you've got *checks notes* 60 thousand records, 2 turntables, and 150 undergrads with nothing better to do.
It's very cool! Especially a good college radio station with a big, eclectic vinyl collection and different DJs every couple hours curating their whims, it's just the best. I'm lucky to have wxyc (UNC Chapel Hill) nearby, they have an app for easy streaming anywhere too.
