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!

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.

Once you figure it out, there’s a “Buy It!” link next to each track in online playlists that leads you to a place where you can buy songs and albums, and by doing it that way a small portion of each purchase goes to support WORT.

Psychoacoustics celebrates their 24th birthday with a live remote broadcast, and take over of the Tip Top Tavern between 8 and 11 pm, on Thursday, December 10!

Psychoacoustics have gotten the RSVP from their talented pals, Damsel Trash and Lover’s Spit, to get into the groovy and provide the entertainment for this celebratory event! If you choose to join us in person, there will be cake, “decorate your own lab coat”, Subgenius Sickening, dance contest, and a chance to dip into Reverend Velveteen’s Box o’ Fun. If you can’t make it out, please luxuriate in our transmissions from the comfort of your own home, vehicle or party pod.

Damsel Trash are all Meghan Rose and Emily Mills, who’s song “All Girl Band” describes themselves thusly:

Help us tune our instruments
– we can’t tune our instruments
Help us carry our gear
– we can’t carry our gear
Help us not to fight each other
-all we wanna do is fight each other
Help us not to fight you
-WE WANNA FIGHT YOU

We’re an all girl band
there are only ladies in this band
who cares about the music
we’re all ladies
THAT’S AMAZING

Help us write our own lyrics
-we can’t write our own lyrics
Help us figure out Pro Tools
-I don’t even know what that is
Help us get our name in print
-who do we gotta blow to get our name in print?
Oh my god you’re such a slut
-WE WANNA FIGHT YOU
