INDEPENDENCE RADIO Brings you 140 tracks featuring old-time, blues, folk and country. These tracks are mostly drawn from the pre-Atomic Era of the 20's and 30's, but I have selected songs I feel compliment the fallout universe, both in theme and tone. Most songs feature either guitar, violin, banjo, or some combination thereof. The songs themselves are quite varied, ranging from upbeat to somber, vocally driven to instrumental, and covering a number of distinct genres and traditions included in the catch-alls "old time" and "folk".

Perfect for listening to while you roam the Mojave, scalp raiders, motionlessly stare into the middle distance while clutching your gun for hours, or whatever it is your  NV characters do.

This mod was originally made for some other game, but it has now finally come to its intended home, the Mojave Wasteland. Does New Vegas need a new radio mod in 2018? Probably not. But I invite you to change up the radio load-out you've used in your last 200 playthroughs; I guarantee songs you've never heard before, and that fit well into the Fallout setting.

EXPERIMENTAL LORE SECTION


When the Desert Rangers began to filter into Nevada in greater numbers from out east, they brought many things with them: Their mastery of tracking and bushcraft; their homespun folk lore; a finely honed sense of frontier justice; and, perhaps most notably, a sizeable cache of salvaged combat armor and weapons.

One in particular brought a few dozen holotapes full of bootleg early 20th century folk music, a collapsible, hi-gain transmitting antenna rigged to run off a recovered Corvega power cell, and not a small amount of built up mutual resentment with his teammates. When the unification with the NCR Rangers came he cursed his former comrades, disappeared into the Mojave, and began a campaign of broadcast interference. For years after, Independence Radio would rotate frequencies to be sure to overwhelm and drown out as much NCR Ranger radio traffic as possible while maintaining pleasant broadcast quality.

Though that was years ago now, and Independence Radio has long since been left occupying a former NCR scanner frequency. Perhaps the ranger is dead, or maybe he moved back east. But despite a considerable amount of man-hours invested by some of the most capable scouts, trackers, and radio-triangulation experts in the territory, his equipment has yet to be found, and Independence Radio maintains continuous broadcast excellence to this day, over the whole of the Mojave.
