WRMC’s 2018 Year in Review

It is the year 2018 and music lives in clouds and streams.

This year, the new millenium claimed the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, and the premature losses of Avicii,… Continue reading WRMC’s 2018 Year in Review

WRMC’s 2017 Year in Review

Here lies 2017, the year she told you not to worry about. And look what came of it: 2017 took your net neutrality, brought Charles Murray to campus, and made your annoying twelve-year-old cousin Bitcoin rich. And what’s your consolation prize?

WRMC’s 2015 in Review

YEAR END WRAP UP Amidst all the shit that went down in the tumultuous year that was 2015, at least there was great music. In Vermont, our frigid first months of the year featured a substantial amount of sparseness and heartbreak with strong releases from Viet Cong, Title Fight, Mount Eerie, and Bjork. We rallied… Continue reading WRMC’s 2015 in Review
