To quote St. Vincent’s latest masterpiece; “what’s the point of even sleeping”…when you could be listening to WRMC’s late night programming?

In the spirit of reviewing reviews, my ongoing love affair with New Jersey bands, and diversity of opinion here at WRMC, I thought I’d give my opinion of Real Estate’s new album.  But before I do that I’d like to say happy birthday to my mom and hi to Ben Goldberg.  I love both of… Read More

Neutral Milk Hotel’s official discography clocks in somewhere around the one hour and forty-two minute mark. That’s about half the time it takes to drive to Boston from Middlebury.  Which is why when I drove to Boston with WRMC biz wiz Charlie Mathon to see them in concert, we listened to “Naomi” 3 times (intentionally), … Read More

Songs to soothe your post saturday night fever, because sometimes the Proctor coffee/advil combo isn’t enough. *DISCLAIMER* “Wake Bake Skate” is not for the faint of heart.  If you’re looking for an abrasive Sunday morning rally anthem, this is your song.
