Music Mid-Week: A Taste of D.C. at our Doorstep

(04/10/25 4:01pm)

The vibrant retro red, white and green of Jarrod Hendricks’ windbreaker popped against the sea of gray van-roof directly above him. The window to his right exhibited the tapestry of a road trip: a tree, a building, a dash of purple, another car. The streaks of color in and out of the van were a mimicry of those on the cover of the album he helped create four years ago.

Music Mondays: Warm Weather Playlist

(02/27/23 4:28pm)

The days are getting a little longer, the khaki shorts and tennis skirts are coming out and you’re breaking more of a sweat on your walk from Heilman Dining Center to the Humanities Building – you know what that means: spring is coming, and so are Warm Weather Playlists. If you’re anything like me, you start a new playlist for the spring the moment the temperature goes above 65 during a random global warming weather spike in February.

Music Mondays: 2021 was a legendary year for music, here are 3 albums to prove it

(01/31/22 2:08pm)

Throughout the canon of modern music history, there are certain legendary years that stand out among the rest. I am not talking about the years that functionally changed music, such as 1964 which both debuted the Moog synthesizer and had Bob Dylan go electric. Nor am I talking about the years that symbolically changed music, like in 1959 on “the day the music died” as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and  J. P. "The Big Bopper'' Richardson's plane crashed in an Iowan field. What I am discussing is something much sweeter and much less tragic: the years where music flourished. These are the years where good music – really good music – was like wine in that place where wine flows like water. These are the 1969s, the 1991s and the 2003s where for one reason or another, every major artist just happened to decide all within the same year to release groundbreaking work. These are years that future music enthusiasts look back at longingly, chin notched in palms, and say, “I wish I were there for that.” During these moments, music history was made every other Friday. And I, humble Collegian columnist and “wish I were there for that” music-enthusiast, declare that 2021 was such a year.

Music Mondays: "What's Goin On" 50 Years Later

(02/15/21 3:00pm)

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.” Released in 1971, “What’s Going On” is Marvin Gaye’s 11th studio album and marks a reinvention for Gaye, from the Motown sound that initially made him popular to the soul and introspective lyrics that he is now so well known for. With seamless transitions described as a “song cycle,” “What’s Going On” is characterized by its psychedelic soul, smooth jazz and funky arrangements that would later give rise to the subgenre's quiet storm and neo-soul.
