What music are the campuses of Princeton Review’s Top 20 Best College Radio Stations in 2008 buzzing about? New Music Nation surveys radio station and newspaper Web sites for these schools every week to find out. (Note: If the list skips a school it is because there was no Web site for the radio station or newspaper or no applicable content on either Web site.)
The buzz was not uniform this week. Highlights include reviews of new releases by not-so-new artists, such as The B-52s, Jonathan Richman and Moby. However, colleges were also buzzing about bands releasing albums for the first time, like Foals and Boyce Avenue.
