You can vote on all or just some of the pairings -- just click on a band's name to get to a voting page.

We will announce the winners and play more of their music next Tuesday night during Nobody's Driving, 10-midnight!

Click here to check out last night's paylist where we highlighted some of our favorites and several of the underdogs.

Incest in Music part 53: In Which Country & Rock Get It On -- College Radio Primer 2/21 8-10pm

Music is a giant cesspool of the best kind. Perhaps you would prefer to call it a melting pot. Whatever. The main thing is, all musics are all stirred up together in one big ol' mixing bowl, not sitting in little cubby holes called "genres." And therefore they cannot help but intermingle, crossbreed, influence one another. This we believe. This we know. And so this Monday night on the College Radio Primer, we examine one small corner of the crossbreeding spectrum: WXDU Presents... Incest in Music part 53: In Which Country & Rock Get It On
