  - Music Submissions
    - - 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 the music. We currently 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 do have a growing digital library. Please send your music (full-length CD or vinyl preferred) 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.
        
        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!

        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.

Serpentine Halloween Monster Mash Bash

October 21, 2014 by WORT Music Department

It’s a Friday… it’s Halloween… it’s Rocktober… and it’s time for the “Serpentine Halloween Monster Mash Bash!” Friday, October 31st, from 8:00 to 11:00 pm D.J. el Serpentine of WORT’s “Rattlesnake Shake” program will be spinning the perfect mix of monster movie themed rock ‘n roll for your Devil’s Night soundtracks!

There will be tricks, treats, and chills & thrills galore, as vampires, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, witches, mad scientists, and everything else that goes “bump” in the night, visits your favorite community-powered radio station.

“Count Serpentine” will also welcome scary new metal band White Empress in to the studio for an exclusive live interview, prior to their headlining slots at The Frequency, October 31 & November 1.

So, pour a steamy goblet of your favorite cauldron brew, recline in your casket, and turn your radios up loud enough to wake the dead! Only here on WORT 89.9 FM and WORT HD. Streaming live around the globe at www.wortfm.org, and of course, revisit the fright-fest on WORT’s Internet Archive for up to 2 weeks after Halloween. Let’s do “The Time Warp”… again!
