Soundtrack to “Walking through Commons”

But don’t worry, because I have just the playlist you need in order to fully enact those feels.   This playlist is perfectly curated to make sure that you feel both nostalgic and inspired. Growth […]

Giveon, You Gave It All

I can't quite explain the sigh of relief I exhaled as I read that Giveon's debut album Give or Take was set to release this summer. With singles like "Lie Again" and "For Tonight," I knew that this album was going to bring everything Giveon has the potential to give (no pun intended), so here we are.

Is WASTELAND a waste of time?

Giving us perhaps one of the most highly anticipated R&B albums of the year, Brent Faiyaz did not come to play with his 2022 album WASTELAND. Personally, Faiyaz’ new album comes as a great relief as I write to you from the Dallas Fort Worth airport, eating slightly disgusting airport food on hour eight of a 13-hour travel day. Stacked with features from start to finish, Faiyaz gives us everything […]

As I stepped into the dimly lit venue, I was met with a buzzing excitement and anticipation from the growing crowd. Before […]

Waking Up To Fall!

BY: Jinsun Kim Happy September everyone! It’s already starting to get chilly, and I can’t wait for the autumn season to settle in. The campus will look gorgeous once the trees start changing color.  I don’t know about you, but with the rainy weather recently, it’s been getting harder for me to wake up in the morning.

History of Irish Music

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Commodores! I hope everyone is having a lucky day and enjoying the broadcast.

Broadcasting During a Pandemic

By: Ellie Hooey  About a year ago, we all left Vanderbilt’s campus excited to start spring break. Some of us went to tropical places, some were in Europe visiting friends abroad, and some went home to see family. The underlying factor to all of these trips, though, was the looming pandemic. All of us heard on the news about a new virus that was wreaking havoc on people’s respiratory systems. […]
