Mutinous Radio | Sepia Mutiny

I figured that it is was well past time that I showed some love to the South Asian community down in Houston. Every Thursday from 3:30-5:30p.m., Houston’s KPFT 90.1 FM is taken over by GenerAsian Radio featuring DJs Yogi and Alex. You can either catch it live or listen to past shows that they have uploaded to the web:

GenerAsian Radio is a unique radio program featuring an eclectic mix of Asian Underground, Hindi, Bhangra, Arabic, house, and hip-hop. Started back in 2002, the show has been widely popular among the South Asian youths and also among Middle Eastern, Hispanic, European, American music lovers. The show features interviews with musicians and artists from all over the world, live mixes in the studio, and cultural community events. GenerAsian Radio airs live on the web as Real Audio or MP3 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM CST on Thursdays.

What I like to do sometimes is to listen to the GenerAsian radio clips while either writing a post for SM or reading a post written by one of my co-bloggers. Sepia Mutiny needs theme music to be properly enjoyed. I have long subscribed to the idea that life would be more worth living if we all had our own personal soundtracks. Unfortunately society has not yet reached my prescient conclusion, so in the meantime I rely on websites like GenerAsian radio’s to mix something up.

One of my favorite programs. 🙂 Thanks for mentioning Houston – with lots of stuff from both the right and left coasts, Middle Earth can get overlooked.

strong!!! thanks for this tip. i’ve been needing something like this.

kpft is a great station. their hip-hop show “damage control” is essential. it’s the single best place to grok the houston hip-hop scene that’s gone national this year. (it’s often forgotten that houston was a pioneering city in non-NYC hip-hop, back in the late 80s…)

i love houston. it’s ugly and sprawly as hell but it’s incredibly dynamic if you open your mind to it. it’s like the fourth largest city in the country. and the food is outrageously good. you can eat for less than $10 a different ethnic cuisine every night for months on end. it’s one of my favorite u.s. cities to visit.

big up!

peace

It’s KPFT 90.1 FM (http://www.kpft.org/). Yeah, Yogi and Alx do a great job. Also their monthly “Turntablas on the bayou” socials are great fun!

Thanks for the support everyone, just trying to represent the SouthAsian Community for things other than bollywood music. Hope to see you all on FRIDAY @ The Social for Turntablas on the Bayou!
