What is “The Cutting Edge” you ponder?

It’s 2 hours of avante garde and/or brand new and fresh music. The music consists of non-mainstream music of all genres. After the 11 o’ clock block or set they feature the “Sucky-Song-of-the-Week” where they never play the whole song so they can get back to the good nu’ music1. The specialty show runs from

10 PM to 12 AM on 96 WAVE or 96.1 on the dial or your so called digits..

(Footnotes) 1 just as you say...good ol’ music..

1/2 Wentworth Street on February 21st, 1997 at a small location by Clay and Beth. The store was filled with punk, independent- rock AKA indie-rock and a bunch of ska. The owners’ personal collection of CDs and LPs were sold as used. Now they are on 75 Wentworth Steet diagonally from a some what underground pizza restaraunt, Andolinis Pizza, where people in a few bands work.Their mission at fi fty-two point fi ve is to see non-mainstream music due to the fact that the big corporations or record labels and the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) have a law called “payola”1. [footnotes]1 where radio stations are unable to play songs by artists when they offer something of value in return. Payola is often applied to non-profit radio stations such as college radio and some internet radio stations. Payola also applies to stores where they are paid to put up a poster or some other type of display.
