Oedipus

The Oedipus Project is a music discovery platform created in early 2010 by Oedipus, a longtime Boston radio DJ and program director. It serves as a filter for listeners exploring new music, particularly alternative and indie artists. Rather than relying on lengthy write-ups, the project presents songs in a radio-style format, with brief introductions and useful information so visitors can spend more time listening. Artist pages link directly to the musicians’ websites.

The site also features podcasts, a Song of the Day, blog posts, photographs, links, and other material drawn from Oedipus’s extensive music library and archives. New music is shared when Oedipus is not traveling, and the project can also be heard live on Indie617 on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon. Its coverage includes emerging and established acts across a broad alternative music landscape. The website currently notes that it is under construction, following repair work and a security issue, while directing visitors to stay tuned for updates.
