SONG OF THE DAY: WU LYF- “Dirt”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wKZqNkcAt8 It could be beautiful that WU LYF broke up because they didn't want to become famous and sell out. It could be badass that they released a final song called 'T R I U M P H' on youtube with a note announcing the split. It could be rock n roll in its purest form. Instead, it's just bullshit that WU LYF came to nothing after releasing maybe the best alternative rock album since The Moon and Antartica. 'Dirt' stands out like a mad yell from the depths of some forgotten night with a friend that faded into drugs; an exhilarating make-tonight-last-forever anthem that couldn't quite overcome the reality of tomorrow.

SOCC Live: Jack Lite

"I worked at a pizza joint, a hotel, sold beach chairs for a while, landscaped, worked at a couple restaurants, a Denny's. There is always downtime, and I recorded some melodies I liked on a pocket recorder while washing dishes. With the money from the jobs I craigslisted a guitar, drums, bass, and a synth. COLD CUTS was born straight out of my experiences with life, friends, women, and selling beach chairs."

Lots of plastic bins, overflowing trashcan, eager freshman and opening convocation all mark the beginning of the new school year.

But Who is Randy?

LINEUP Nic Titus – Keyboard, moral support Emily Naranjo – Rhythm Guitar Eliza Densmore – vocals Kyle Lutz – Bass, chief negotiator of internal affairs Austin Langsdorf – Guitar and Vocals, Keeps the reptiles blood warming up to survive It’s 6:30pm and I’m sitting in the main room of some house on Monument, as Randy and the Reptiles get set up to play. I have never been to a band practice, but the imagine of teenagers banging on instruments in someone’s garage while the neighbors cringe in fear always comes to mind. However, Randy and the Reptiles were a bit better than that. In this room clad with blue walls and stained with the smell of cigarettes, great music was created. “I think it’s the full moon, I’m feeling crazy” says Austin. Maybe it was the full moon or maybe we can blame eve...

SONG OF THE DAY: Fit$gerald

Before coming to CC, I heard so much about the outdoorsy culture, liberal mindsets, ski-lovers, and hippie lifestyles, but the music scene was not mentioned at all. As a result, I was always curious about the music scene at Colorado College and how it thrived. Fortunately, I've been pleasantly surprised. Not only does SOCC play a major role but there is a wonderful music department, music ensembles, numerous student bands (Battle of the Bands was amazing by the way!), Open Mic Night, Llamapalooza, and other groups of students who are contributing to music and creating a community. Good for news for me, my curiosity has allowed to me to find amazing people who have the same passion as me, inspiring me to continue to create music whenever I can. Because of this I thought it'd be a wonderf...

SONG OF THE DAY: Mapei – “Don’t Wait”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33mjGmfy7PA This is always the go to song when I need something to lift my spirits and make me move. Mapei's strong and genuine vocals complete with the bass of the instrumental force me to sing a long and dance every time I hear this song. It has the perfect mix of dance, rnb, and soul elements representing Mapei's musical versatility.

SONG OF THE DAY: Tabloid — “Voyeur”; Review by Tom Silver

Doing a quick Google search on the music of Tabloid is a futile effort to say the least. Nothing can be found on this artist (these artists? Seriously, I have no idea who or what made this song). Aside from their tumblr, which more resembles brainwashing methods the Kardashians would have used in A Clockwork Orange, nothing is really known about the artist. The singular song speaks for itself. “Voyeur” is a dark, but catchy number with anxiety filled lyrics and panicked rhythms. It has the beat of a Party Supplies song, but the vocals of something that Autre Ne Veut would be into. I have 80’s themed nightmares after listening to this song, but the weird thing is that I wake up wanting to have them again. Bravo Tabloid, whoever you are. Keep a lookout for future content released by t...
