Pete’s Film Journal: Vandy Students’ Free Streaming Access by Peter Sarsfield

Early in the pandemic, I watched the 1967 classic Cool Hand Luke on the extremely new platform, HBO Max. The story, along with Paul Newman’s performance, captivated me. I recognized a famous line that my father quoted for years but never knew where it was from: “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” After that, I watched Phantom Thread and Barry Lyndon, two movies still among my favorites a […]

Troye Sivan, Omar Apollo, Tiberius b, Miki Ratsula and more: What even is queer music?

In the wake of Troye Sivan’s euphoric new album Something To Give Each Other and Omar Apollo’s Live for Me, as well as my own discovery of both Tiberius b and Miki Ratsula, I’m reminded again what it means to make characteristically queer* music. * For clarity and ease, I use the term “queer music” to describe an umbrella term that includes all LGBTQ+ artists and their music   Sivan’s […]

DMAD Delivers with New Single “Sweet Temptation”

With Halloween around the corner and a few more parties left before the weekend is out, let me introduce you to the next song you need to queue: “SWEET TEMPTATION” by DMAD.

Pete’s Film Journal: Performance in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ by Peter Sarsfield

David Grann’s bestselling book, Killers of the Flower Moon, is a fast-paced investigation of the murders of Osage Native Americans in the 1920s. Scorsese’s new film is a faithful adaptation that expands its scope through an intimate portrayal of its main characters, Ernest and Mollie Burkhart. It is just as fast-paced as the book, and the over 200-minute runtime is not a hindrance.  The plot revolves around the “Reign of […]

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: What’s wrong with the Buffalo Bills?

The Buffalo Bills will always share some sort of special connection with VandyRadio for me. For the entire first semester of my show – and you can ask my co-host Owen – I was about as bullish on the Bills as one could be.

Concert Coverage: Tom Odell at 3rd and Lindsley

A foggy haze falls over the stage as Tom Odell takes his place at the piano. He quietly takes a sip of a rocks glass, instantly transporting the crowd to an old but familiar time. With just one song, the slow lull of the music crescendos into him belting, a glissando cascading on the piano like an old school blues rocker. Somehow, I had never heard of the 10-year career […]

Dove Armitage Releases Thrilling New Synth-Pop Single

With her self-proclaimed “shadowy avant-pop glitch rock” in its full glory, Dove Armitage’s new single “Sex on Display” vulnerably reveals her, with every part on full display. Quincy Larsen, the voice behind Dove Armitage, says she is “embracing the scary moments and the darkness that exists in each of us.”    With her EP Concernless to be released on November 3rd, Dove Armitage is deepening the identity of her sound, […]
