WVUD

Members of the 2023-24 WVUD Ops Board decided to cover the 66th Grammy Awards. This is the result of that decision.

It’s difficult to express in words how much Joywave as a band means to me. After an extremely dark period in my life during the backend of 2023, I decided to analyze and reflect upon some albums that I found myself relistening to as a therapeutic way to cope and grieve with the tragedies that had shaken me during this time.

When WVUD got press passes to see Chase Atlantic, I got a call from Becca—our production director and a big fan—just minutes after the email went out. She asked, “Do you want to do this?” I hadn’t seen the email yet, but once I understood, I was in. We secured the passes and got ready to see Chase Atlantic at The Met in Philly on October 30.

Stephen has been on my concert bucket list from the moment I discovered he was touring with his debut album, Angel Face, which was released late September of 2023. Needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to attend his show at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA at the end of November.

If there is one thing to know about me, it is that I am a sucker for a well-made pop album. Give me any example of what I call “the Taylor Swift effect” and I will absolutely eat it up.

Our road to Greta Van Fleet on Tuesday night was not an easy one. This concert took place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, a venue that seats 21,000 people, which GVF sold out.

As I write this very review, it has been precisely four days since Olivia Rodrigo, the world’s latest iconic pop girly, released GUTS to the world. Suffice it to say, it was a step in the right direction for her (at least, from my perspective).

How Brandi Carlile and this album came into my life is, admittedly, a mystery. In short, I’m a faithful user of the Shazam app.

When was the last time you won something? Maybe it was bingo, or fifteen bucks in a scratch-off. Either way, you’re probably like me and don’t win as often as you would like to, but when you do win, it’s something spectacular.

Super Bowl LVII was not a good one for Eagles fans. After essentially dominating the first three quarters, consistent defensive errors and a final gut-wrenching field goal by the Chiefs led to Philly’s downfall.

I don’t normally lay down and listen to an album straight through; I don’t sit still for very long to do so. When you’re on the beach and tired of listening to the banter around you, the best option is to plug in and tune out.

I never thought I would like K-Pop. I was never a fan of boy bands (or girl bands for that matter), especially since One Direction dominated the music industry during my time in elementary and middle school.
