Arianna Reyes hosts Stay WOC, an R&B/Soul show, focusing on music made by women of color. Over spring break, I sat down with Arianna to talk about her show, underrepresentation, and guilty pleasures. WRMC: How would you describe your show? Arianna Reyes: I play music exclusively written, performed, created by women of color. And also… Continue reading SHOW SPOTLIGHT: Stay WOC

SHOW SPOTLIGHT: The Other Side of Time
WRMC has well over 200 student DJs each semester, but we also have a few faculty members in our ranks. Among the few and the proud, Bradley Gardener, a teaching fellow in the Geography Department, (known to his listeners as Dr. BG Cooper) hosts the hip-hop radio show The Other Side of Time every week on Tuesday nights.… Continue reading SHOW SPOTLIGHT: The Other Side of Time
CMJ // A WRMC in the Wild
Just like Bryson, Kerouac, and London, members of WRMC will venture into the wild next week. Unlike these male only trips into the woods, we are going into the depths of the concrete jungle. It’s CMJ time, and for those of you not looking at floods of charting and adds emails, here’s the thing about… Continue reading CMJ // A WRMC in the Wild

Festival Retrospective: Levitate
The Marshfield, Massachusetts, Fairgrounds are typically home to country fairs, agricultural exhibitions, and livestock displays, but for the third summer running they’ve been flooded by concertgoers for the Levitate Music and Arts Festival. I made the trek down to the site, about one hour south of Boston, to check out this budding event with a… Continue reading Festival Retrospective: Levitate
SEPOMANA SPOTLIGHT: Ratking
In folklore, a rat king occurs when dozens of rats, squirming and wriggling around in compact, dirty places become tangled and knotted together by their tails, creating a writhing mass, even freakier than than the sum of its parts. Just as one can imagine New York City subways being a prime location for a knot… Continue reading SEPOMANA SPOTLIGHT: Ratking

The Return of Neutral Milk Hotel, Live in Boston @ The Orpheum Theater, 1/16/14
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), … Continue reading The Return of Neutral Milk Hotel, Live in Boston @ The Orpheum Theater, 1/16/14
TITUS ANDRONICUS PLAY 3 NIGHT REQUIEM FOR MAXWELL’S (6/15/13)
“Are you from Mahwah?” “No, but I am from New Jersey” “Oh, you’re better than me then, I’m from Brooklyn.” This is probably the only instance in which being from New Jersey has delivered me sincere humility and respect from a New Yorker, let alone some guy from Brooklyn. But in what kind of absurd… Continue reading TITUS ANDRONICUS PLAY 3 NIGHT REQUIEM FOR MAXWELL’S (6/15/13)
Live Review: The National w/ Youth Lagoon @ Barclays Center, 6/5/2013
The National have been around since 1999, and though I’m not going to try to claim I liked them back when I was 5 years old, they’ve been sitting on the backburner of my music interests for a while. Last week, The National returned to their Brooklyn stomping grounds for a concert at the recently… Continue reading Live Review: The National w/ Youth Lagoon @ Barclays Center, 6/5/2013
The Dirty Projectors Live (Tonight In Burlington)
As you may or may not know, the Dirty Projectors are somewhat of a big deal in the indie music world. Or at least they are in the microcosm that is Lee’s recently refined music world. So when it was announced months ago that they’d be playing at Skidmore College this past Saturday night, I… Continue reading The Dirty Projectors Live (Tonight In Burlington)
