Best Pirate RadioRadio Limbo, 103.3-FM
STAFF PICK: Just when you'd given up hope, finally,
a radio station that plays Stereolab! Its signal limited to central
Tucson, Radio Limbo broadcasts in a legally gray air space,
sending out some of the best mixed signals ever to find their
way into the Sonoran night sky. The rotating formats are hosted
by undisclosed locals with some of the best, most eclectic record
(yes, as in vinyl LP) collections in town. The hourly and bi-hourly
shows, with monikers like "Easy Action," "Schtick
of the Week," "Euphonophoria" and "The Break-Up
Show," run unedited and uncompromised from 8 p.m. to midnight
weeknights, starting a few hours earlier on the weekend. The quasi-fictional
cast of characters includes Vance Fink, Sambrosa, DJ Hella Strong,
Rachel and Raquel, Phase Lock, Manny Mota, Serge and Bebe, and
Monique Potin, to name a few. Radio Limbo will broadcast anything,
as long as it's superb, obscure or so damned bad it's got a B-quality
appeal. They may not have a leg to stand on, but they do have
a website: www.azstarnet.com/~limbo/. Unlike other stations with,
well, money, Radio Limbo is beholden to no one. So raise your
antenna, tune your dial and cross your fingers in hopes that Radio
Limbo is around long enough to find its way into next year's Best
of Tucson...or at least your own living room.
