Bah Humbug! Hear the BEEFUS Holiday Spectacular on Psychoacoustics!

WORT Music Playlists

What was that song I heard? Who was the artist, what is the album title, where can I get it? Where can I find the entire playlist for a show?

Click on the Playlists button to bring up a calendar where you can choose any date to find the playlists for that day. If you can’t find the right playlist or the song you’re looking for, your best bet is to call the station the next time that program’s on and ask the host yourself. If that’s not possible we may be able to help you, but please have as much information as possible at hand when you contact us, such as: approximate day and time the music was played, what type or genre of music it was, who hosted the show and any other information you remember about the selection and we’ll do our best to track it down.

How do I get my music played on WORT?

We accept submissions in most genres and styles of music, focusing on noncommercial, out-of-the-mainstream, independent releases (check out our playlists and music charts for more information.) It may take up to a few weeks for us to review and process your submission so we appreciate your patience, and feel free to contact us to follow up. Please send your music, indicating any tracks with language that needs to be aired after 10 pm and including a one-sheet description and any biographical and tour information, to WORT Music Director, 118 S. Bedford St, Madison, WI 53703 and/or to musicdirector@wortfm.org.

We do accept digital files on .wav or mp3, but currently we still prefer CDs to digital submissions because it’s the quickest way to get it into the hands of our programmers and onto the airwaves, though we have a growing digital library. Digital submissions should be .wav or other lossless files, or high quality mp3s [128-320 kbps.]

You can follow up or “track” your submissions by email, or call 608-256-2001 on Wednesdays between 1-4 pm CST to ask if we received it, has it been reviewed, has it been added to our library, and what kind of airplay it’s getting—e.g. light, medium, heavy or charting. Thanks and we look forward to hearing your music!

Go to our archives here to enjoy the Dec 15 BEEFUS Holiday Radio Spectacular, broadcast LIVE from the Harmony Bar. WORT’s Psychoacoustics Radio Show DJ s Rev. Velveteen & Bad Sister Heidi spin their incredibly strange music, with a live set by Milwaukee’s twisted rockers BEAKER plus the much beloved/maligned Annual BEEFUS Holiday Radio Pageant is performed ONSTAGE in front of a LIVE audience for the very first time!

BEEFUS manifests the strange

This year BEEFUS presented: “It’s A Wonderful Lyfe!” Perv-formed LIVE AND IN PERSON, all-original tunes, pageantry, costumes, hi-jinx, & A Touching Holiday Story (With A Happy Ending.) The show went live on-air at 8 pm with a DJ set by Rev. Velveteen & Bad Sister Heidi, followed by a squiggly set of live music by Beaker, After that, more DJ shenanigans, and shortly before 10 pm the mighty BEEFUS takes the stage. It’s the holiday pageant you never knew you needed! The show is available to stream on-demand through Dec. 29 on our archives. Listening is free, but tips for WORT are appreciated.

BEEKER rocks out!

NOTE: This material may NOT be appropriate for the religiously devout, fans of traditional Christmas music or unsupervised youth of any species.

Beefus puts a comedic, blasphemic, musical spin on holiday traditions that will split your sides with laughter and wonderment. Your holidaze will never be the same…

Your prayer partners, Rev Velveteen & Bad Sister Heidi, thank YOU!
