"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps
run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." (Hunter S. Thompson)
NYUB was created to provide on-demand refuge from main-stream radio. NYUB harnesses podcasting technology to bring direct to you, the best independent and unsigned artists from the rock and electronic music genres. It's not your usual bollocks.....because mainstream radio is shit.
'We're betting that podcasts will revolutionise the way you discover new music...NYUB showcases unsung subgenres and starts with a truly awful song to ward off the snobs' - Spin Magazine, October 2005
"NYUB has precisely nothing to lose and everything to gain, while Radio 1 are torturing the nation with their electronic Chris Moyles archive, probably blissfully unaware of how tragically awful they seem, NYUB is receiving more and more music from bands and labels to play each day" - Playlouder Magazine, January 2005
"NYUB...it's always good to get off the beaten track" - Computer Music UK, October 2005

After my phone interview with Chris Ritke at 49media it became apparent to me that irony is not always a strong humor trait in the US. :) So just to clarify - the album covers that I load as graphics that appear on your iPods are simply the WORST album covers I can find on the web. It ties in subtly with the 'mainstream radio is shit....' theme that NYUB was founded upon.

And yes - mainstream radio is shit - NYUB rules!
And the kiwi one as well.
But hey! No harm. No fowl. It's not necessarily that Americans don't appreciate irony; it's that (unfortunately) the slowest of Americans happen to be some of the most vocal.
