Bird Orgy

In what has become a decades-old tradition at Harvard, in January and May during reading and exam periods students listening to campus radio are treated to "marathon-style musical programs devoted to a single composer, performer, genre, or subject." These are known (and tradmarked) as Orgies.

Right now they are in the middle of an Orgy dedicated to the Russian composers known as the Mighty Five. But the real fun begins on Monday at noon with a non-stop, 84-hour orgy devoted to Charlie Parker.

Check it out at the WHRB mp3 stream.

Or, if music marathons aren't your style, David Byrne hosts an eclectic mp3 stream that is almost the exact opposite of an orgy.
