Everything (doesn’t have to) suck(s). October 12, 2020: the date of the final WRMC blog post. Three years later, we have decided to bring back the blog. The WRMC blog has historically been a place to connect with each other: “Letter of Recommendation: Spotify Stalking” (Letter of Recommendation: Spotify Stalking), a place to share music… Read More
By definition this playlist is the same forwards as it is backwards. Starts with covers of songs and moves towards their original artists.

During my drive back to Middlebury this semester, I was introduced to My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark.

In the past week, we’ve watched a powerful uprising unfold across our nation. Although the recent protests were sparked by the recent cruel and unjust murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others, they are a response to the systemic racism that is intrinsic to this country’s history. Black Lives Matter. As a… Read More
Many of you know the joys of Spotify stalking first-hand. This is my personal take on the widespread (I think) social phenomenon. I was quite resistant to Spotify, preferring to listen to iTunes and Youtube for far too long. Even, shamefully, Pandora radio. Once I finally made the plunge, I wanted to keep it private…. Read More
