RadioUTD, The sounds of UTD

RadioUTD is probably a name that quite a few of you recognize. They are the official radio (though they don't actually have a on-air frequency) station of UT Dallas, and have their own room in the Student Union building (right across from the software kiosk on the first floor). RadioUTD also has its own website at Http://Radio.UTDallas.edu/ , which is also a portal into what is being played by the station should you not be in the Student Union at the moment. While the station itself keeps mostly American-made music, the music itself is influenced from all over the world (many of the songs came from Europe for example). Even then, much pride is taken by the station in the level of diversity in songs, many of which are formed by "Indie bands," or bands that haven't been signed under a major music company. Though, even with their desire to go with new and unique songs, room is still made for more popular bands/songs (when I was there a request came for an Elvis song, which was then promptly played on the fly). Though the group is bound together by the radio, the musical styles that the individuals play is not; with multitudes of the broadcasts having drastic shifts in styles based on who is on the air at the time. Though they get their name from the radio station that they run, the dance parties they host are something not to be missed. The long bouts of random insanity are sure to bring a smile to your face.
