What Is Tesla? (Elon, Don’t Hurt Me)
When Tesla broke into the automotive industry with the Roadster, it got enthusiasts pondering what the next generation of sports cars would look and sound like.
Bleachers embrace 80’s pop-rock with “Modern Girl”
Frontman Jack Antonoff and Bleachers have outdone themselves with this hair-flipping, foot-stomping anthem. Even as an avid music consumer, I was shocked to learn that this song, now a frequent flier on the alternative radio dial, was released several months ago in September.
WVUD Annotates: The 2024 Grammy Awards
Members of the 2023-24 WVUD Ops Board decided to cover the 66th Grammy Awards. This is the result of that decision.
Cleansing With Joywave
It’s difficult to express in words how much Joywave as a band means to me.

Album Review: In These Silent Days
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.
Live In Concert: Maggie Rogers
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.
