Someone recently asked me if I like music. I never really know what to say to that because I mean doesn’t everyone? Like it’s easy to answer a more pointed question–“do you like classical music? what’s your favorite band?”– but music? Who doesn’t? But now that I’m in a girlband and I listened to some

A Whole Fucking Lifetime of This — American Pleasure Club Don’t let the name fool you; you might be familiar with this band. Previously known as Teen Suicide, American Pleasure Club is a pioneer in lo-fi semi-acoustic sad boy indie, and their newest album sounds exactly like their other albums, albeit a bit more accessible

This fall I took a nonfiction production course in the Cinema and Media Studies Department. For my final I made a short video about the Record Library because it is a space on campus that means a lot to many members of the KRLX community. The Record Library is a unique space with a lot
October 25th of this year marked the 15th anniversary of former Senator and Carleton professor Paul Wellstone’s death. Wellstone was a mentor and an inspiration to many people, including current Senator Al Franken, who has been one of the most passionate advocates of Wellstone’s “feisty, fearless, and energetic” legacy (Franken). Senator Franken called KRLX on
by Daniel Kupetsky (posted by Julian Szieff) Content warning: discussion of suicidal ideation themes By like my second or third listen of Everything Now, Arcade Fire’s apparently super uncool and out-of-touch newest album, something about it really clicked for me. Even though I didn’t consider many of the individual songs to be all that memorable,
The year 1967 was truly a fantastic year for music. From The Beatles to the Rolling Stones, The Doors, and The Velvet Underground, the music world exploded in the year 1967. 50 years later it only makes sense to reflect on and celebrate this iconic year in music. So here’s to 1967 and a few
If Blue Could Be Happiness — Florist This is a hard review to write. Not because this is a bad album; it’s pretty good. It has lovely vocals, nice instrumentation, a warm-sad mood that fits well with coming of fall. It just sounds exactly like Florist’s last album The Birds Outside Sang, so much so

Arcade Fire’s new single will make you dance, think, and question what has happened to our society. This is their second new single this year with the other being “I Give You Power”. Now I profess that I don’t always love Arcade Fire’s general overly-dramatic stylings or their strange intricacies; but, I fell in love with
Montreal jangle postpunkers, Corridor, released their latest album on May 27th. It’s reallll nice. Check it out here: https://corridormtl.bandcamp.com/album/supermercado
No, this post is not about La La Land. Instead, I bring your attention to Sing Street, the third movie-musical directed by John Carney. Following Once and Begin Again, Sing Street has many of the same elements that made the first two films successful, but it’s most noticeable departure is it’s heavy play into nostalgia.
We all have those moments: when we realize that the iconic song by that classic artist is in fact just a cover. It’s a confusing and devastating time. For me this happened in the fourth grade when my mom casually dropped that Twist and Shout was written by the Isley Brothers and not the Beatles.
(but not as brief as you might think) Since regrettably few female electronic music producers are given due recognition, I thought I would compile a list of my favorites, new and old. In chronological order: DELIA DERBYSHIRE Delia Derbyshire was an English experimental electronic musician, active starting in the ’60s. After earning a degree in
It’s easy to get a sense of nostalgia for a time you never lived through when the artifacts sort of prove that it was better (in some respects; I’m not talking about civil rights, etc., etc.) Then: Now: ’nuff said.
