In today’s world, it’s pretty much a given that the charts are going to be dominated by songs in English. Sometimes the occasional Spanish or French song will pop up but for the most part English is what’s in. For that reason, music in other languages, especially German, has been overlooked. No one really thinks […]
KRLX is proud to announce that we will be airing an interview with our own President Steven Poskanzer this Sunday, April 17! You can listen to the interview, both online and on FM, from 2-3pm during our new program, Faculty Fireside. Faculty Fireside is a weekly show where KRLX DJs have a casual conversation with
Hi KRLX listeners! I knew you were wondering what the KRLX staff has been listening to in recent weeks, so I made a listicle of some of my preferred cuts from good ol 16. Walk to the one you love – twin peaksthese goofballs keep churning out excellent 60s inspired bad-boy rockhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzTQJq1lrMALife of pause – wild
I’m a firm believer that disco and house are criminally underplayed at college parties. While I may love Drake as much as the next guy, I’d like to hear some more variety. If you’re feeling particularly confident (or particularly drunk) the next time you find yourself with an aux cord at a party, here are
When most people think of the Carter Family they usually think of June Carter Cash, and if they are particularly savvy they recall that they first popularized many songs that Woody Guthrie would go on to rewrite—‘When the World’s on Fire’ became ‘This Land is Your Land’ and ‘Jesse James’ became ‘Jesus Christ’. While these
Over this past summer I lived at home in a Chicago suburb north of the city. Each morning I rode the Metra into the city for work. As the train stopped at each suburb, a flock of old pressed suits boarded with their briefcases and their coffee. They found their seats and chatted with their
Everyone loves a good rap beef now and then. It’s another way to get some drama into your life when the 2016 election season is lacking. I feel like in the past few months I’ve been living in some alternate reality, because the recent drama in the hip-hop community has been surreal to
Deerhunter has been making music, in one form or another, for the last 13 years. Accordingly, their ascension to the top of the indie rock sphere encompasess the entirety of the web 2.0 revolution of the ’00s, meaning that a lot of strange Deerhunter music and video is out there on the internet, but is
by A Noah Harrison good short songs tell stories. 9 “news from the heavenly loom” – circulatory system self-conscious transitory elevator music—misty dimensional shift in the blink of an eye 8. “prelude” – the millennium | 1:18 literally hip-hop from 1968, real j-dilla shit 7. “gilchrist ギルクリスト” – ＦＬ ＸＬ| 0:36 the
This past Wednesday, I almost went to go see Shakey Graves (my favorite musician) up in Minneapolis. I bought the tickets ($25!!! the most I’ve ever spent on a concert) a month ahead of time, I had at least two people willing to drive me, and I was super excited to see Shakey for a

I had a great time at the TOPS show. I think everyone who was there had a great time and I have been doing my best to rub it in for those folks that left early or made no effort to attend. I learned a lot that night through interviewing David Carriere and Jane Penny
Hierophants — Parallax Error Hierophants is the latest in the trend of lo-fi semi-comedic bands, and they’re pretty great. They’re unique, however, thanks to their more 80s influences and cleverer than usual lyrics (“Every bridge, there’s a troll”). Filled with fuzzy riffs and even fuzzier synth, Parallax Error is a tour de force
I find it very hard to read while listening to hip hop. Similarly, it’s hard to listen to some downtempo folk when I’m going on a run. So what are the right types of music to listen to while studying? And more importantly, what about all these other different types of work: writing, reading, math-ing?
An underground Vancouver label, Mood Hut Records has only just began releasing its sun-soaked and marijuana-addled house grooves on vinyl and electronically. Until fairly recently, a significant portion of their releases were exclusively available on cassette and recordings were stubbornly hard to find. Thankfully however, Mood Hut has finally decided to join the 21st century
The first time listening to Women’s Rights by Childbirth was a great moment for me. It takes a while for me to discover the next piece of music I’m going to fall in love with for a couple of months at a time, but when I know, I know. You know? A pre-existing love for
John Grant – Grey Tickle, Black Pressure Grant’s new album kinda sounds like if Beck had decided to stick with the funky surreal route after Midnite Vultures. With ‘sick’ beats and real weird lyrics, Grey Tickles, Black Pressure is a cool new album that’s sure to please anyone who misses the time when really
Ducktails – St. Catherine On his latest solo album as Ducktails, Matt Modanile of Real Estate fame returns with the jangly, summer guitar pop that we have all come to love. While decidedly unadventurous, St. Catherine is Modanile’s most cohesive and mature album yet, featuring tasteful production flourishes from the likes of James Ferraro
When I first listened to Faces, Mac Miller’s spacey 2014 project, I was convinced he was gone for good. Its chromatic instrumentation and Mac’s drug-plagued slang illuminated the narcotic purgatory in which he had taken up residence. The mixtape’s aura was bleak, casually despondent, and the rapper seemed to acquiesce to his hedonistic habits too
