SHOW SPOTLIGHT: WRMC Automation

Have you ever wondered what’s playing on WRMC when no one’s on campus? Ever turned on your radio at 4 am and wondered why in god’s name someone is playing such a—dare I say it—“eclectic” playlist featuring Ricky Martin followed by Grimes followed by a Nigerian Funk song? Odds are, if you’ve tuned in during… Read More

FROM THE VAULT: Bright Eyes

I dread even hearing Conor Oberst’s voice for a minute or two, because it’s difficult not to tense up in anxious fear of the moment he’s going to let loose with a whirlwind of boo-hooing, masturbatory ‘emotion.’ But when he keeps it reined in he’s a competent songwriter (though I can still name a long list… Read More

From the 617: The Pluto Moons

Music I Should’ve Grown Up With (2007-2009)

So we’ve made it. Out of those stormy days of young adolescence and into the somewhat less tumultuous days of young adulthood. For me these years were a time of rapid change, from awkward to nerdy to hard to define. But it was right around this time that I also began to take my music… Read More

Music I Should’ve Grown Up With (2004-2006)

Ah, the middle 2000s, those delightful years of supreme teenage awkwardness. Writing this particular week’s entry forced me to reflect on these difficult times and, well, I’m just getting over the feeling of continuously shuttering with mortification. However, despite my own social hopelessness, these days brought some absolutely incredible music. Three of my (current) favorites… Read More

The Groove Guru Presents: Blues-Jazz-Funk from Indie India

There are few things in life more orgasmic than a good blues lick, that perfect, sultry jazz line, or just the pulsating, visceral scratchiness of a funk song that makes you feel beautifully primal. There is a palpable energy to this music that is so complex yet so simple in its effect on body and… Read More

Music I Should’ve Grown Up With (2001-2003)

It’s your friendly 90s-child blogger DJ Parkie-Park back to give you another rousing analysis of those gems I (and perhaps many of you) missed back in those childhoods of ours (ah, the nostalgia).

Though we’re all off doing our own thing–whether that be finding the cure for malaria in Senegal, unicycling cross-country with a newly formed political activism group, or commuting daily to that chic summer internship you scored back in December (which,… Read More
