The Oedipus Project, created in early 2010, is your filter into the vast world of new music. Songs are presented as if heard on the radio, with brief intros and info, so that your time is consumed by listening not reading. All artists are linked to their websites. Hosted by the legendary Boston DJ and Program Director, Oedipus, this site also features podcasts, blogs, photos, links and assorted detritus focusing on alternative and indie music from his vast library. The Oedipus Project can also be heard live on Saturday mornings, 10:00am-Noon on Indie617. New music is posted by Oedipus when he is not traveling.
