Additionally, Neon Indian’s sophomore LP,… Read More

Bon Iver’s latest, self-titled LP is superb. Evoking strong emotions and visions, the layered tracks are serene yet jarring. The recently released music video for the single “Holocene” is beautiful. Consisting of only a young boy exploring the natural beauty of Iceland, each scene fits into the track like a puzzle piece. As the clip… Read More

My hall-mate, Martin Sweeney, has a talent that he kept hidden from me until the final week of school. A talented producer and standout WRMC DJ, Martin has made several solid mash-ups and remixes. Standouts include a mash-up of Crazy Town’s “Butterfly” with The xx’s “Intro” and an original remix of Phoenix’s “1901.” They’re both… Read More

WRMC DJs have voted and the powers that be (read: the exec board) have tallied. Before you sits the top 91 songs of the past 365 days. If you missed the live broadcast from The Mill last Sunday night, shame on you. However, WRMC holds no grudges. If you know what is best, make a… Read More

However, not all music is designed to sit in the background without distracting while still remaining interesting. For me, Diamond Rings fits the bill perfectly. While 2010’s album Special… Read More

In case you missed it, your kind bloggers here at 91.1 WRMC-Middlebury College Radio have… Read More

St. Albans’ dance punk crew, Friendly Fires, have a new album, entitled Pala, coming out May 16th. You can check out the new single, embedded below. “Live Those Days Tonight” fits in well with their previous sound: dancy and synthy with strong beats.

Never fear. Check out the live stream HERE. If you click it right now you can watch Best Coast playing a new song–of course it’s about dank. “…I wish she was my girlfriend.”

As you probably know, the Brooklyn band TV on the Radio have released their latest LP, Nine Types of Light. This post, however, will skirt around a review of the album. Instead, I would like to focus on the movie that TVotR have released, composed of a separate music video for every song on the… Read More

On the other, he has a line of overpriced headphones and a collaboration with Hewlett-Packard selling computers. Regardless of his recent questionable exploits, Dre has an ear… Read More
