The new year was met with the terrible loss of David Bowie and soon after came the loss of  Maurice White,… Continue reading WRMC’s 2016 in Review

WRMC Presents: Top 91 2015

On the stormy night of Monday May 11, 2015, WRMC DJs and music lovers alike gathered at The Mill to countdown the Top 91 tracks of the past twelve months and to celebrate another successful year of programming. ‘Twas a night of highs and lows, counting from high to low. We ate fine cheese and we drank cheap beer. We danced… Continue reading WRMC Presents: Top 91 2015

Me and My Mother, Fiona Apple and Kanye West

Growing up, I was embarrassed to share the things I liked with my mom. She was always asking to look at my half-finished paintings or to read the little scraps of essays that I wrote for class.

The Perils of Pusha T’s Drug Pushing

Pusha T has clearly been around the block. Clipse, his duo with Malice, permanently spit about moving kilos of both powder and green. In the single Wamp Wamp (What It Do) he raps about Ferraris, selling drugs, and how the art of hustlin’ seems to be recession proof with lines like: “Down to the watches,… Continue reading The Perils of Pusha T’s Drug Pushing
