This means some specialty show streams will not be working.

We’ve discovered the problem and are working to resolve it.

Update: 10/16/2009

Blank Generation and Folk Scene have been restored.

We are now pleased to announce a new way for artists to promote their music by submitting tracks to wuog.org for download.

Any artist based in Georgia can submit a full-length track that they wish to distribute for free. WUOG will pick the best and post them online as a free download for users.

This is a brand new service, so we do not have any free songs yet. We’ll let you know when the first batch comes out. Until then, submit your local band’s music!
