75 minutes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
75 Minutes is a weekly podcast focussing on the independent music world. Recorded and broadcast from New York City since July 2005, the weekly show features a wide variety of musical styles pop, electronic, punk, noise, metal, and experimental music.
The show is hosted by Mike and Lyssa, former hosts at WLUW in Chicago, now living in New York City.
Their interview show "15 Minutes w/..." covers the independent music world in the artist's own words. Guests such as J+J+J, The Sarcastic Dharma Society, and Iris Garrelfs have appeared. 15 Minutes is one of very few podcasts that focus on interviewing musicians from the independent community.
It is unique in that it is a show brought together by several collaborators, and not just a single DJ's point of view.
A group of submittors from all over the world contribute by submitting songs. Independent Music from China, Europe, The U.S., Australia, and elsewhere are represented to expand the scope of the show. Each submitter has a specific genre as an expertise, and is connected in someway with the independent music community in their respective countries.
The podcast's title, "75 Minutes", was contrived by way of a miscalculation of the number of minutes on a single CD (74).
