Unusual Music Exchange
Unusual Music Exchange is an evolving platform for sharing unusual music of any genre. It may function as a magazine, a podcast, a community, a radio show, and a de facto record label. UME begins with the pleasure of listening to unusual music, whether experimental, rock, classical, pop, folk, hip hop, or whatever. It may also be a space to think about music as art, art as music, and just what these things are in our lives.
