		<title>From the Outside: Nicholas Szcezpanik-Please Stop Loving Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ambient music is always something that I&#8217;ve appreciated, but never fully engaged in. My first real experience with the genre was on a late night drive back from Philadelphia with my dad, when we could find nothing else on the radio to listen to but the excellent John Diliberto-hosted Echoes on NPR affiliate and independent [...]]]></description>

Sundays 12pm-2pm
Show Description
Despite the name of this show, there actually is neither rhyme nor reason in terms of what I decide to play. Basically, it tends to be whatever I&#8217;m finding enjoyable at the moment, and that tends to include music with loud guitars. Same of my favorite artists include The White Stripes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spin of the Week: Cate Le Bon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cate Le Bon &#8211; CYRK
When I saw Cate Le Bon open for St. Vincent last February, I had only one real criticism: she needed a band. Thankfully, CYRK, her sophomore album, fixes that, and provides excellent results. Le Bon focuses not so much on catchy hooks or memorable choruses (though those are both pleasantly available [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beats on Repeat: Early-Semester Obsessions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s note: We caught up with last semester&#8217;s abroad columnist to get her own top tracks from last year. The verdict: club bangers and chillwave.

These two picks would mos def be on a list had I compiled my favorite tunes from 2011, but it’s early in 2012 and I have yet to discover new music [...]]]></description>

I am from Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas calls to all the outsiders to unite in this seemingly small city. Nothing surprises me anymore. From the time I was ten I could have named 20 strip clubs. My middle school English teacher was once a stripper. I’ve seen a drunk man masturbate to billboards of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Staff List: Most Anticipated Music of 2012</title>

Event Director Ryan Gaffney&#8217;s picks:
1. Chairlift &#8211; Something
Chairlift has the misfortune of being a band with a song that was featured in an iPod commercial, because their big single “Bruises” is known by a lot of people as “that song from the iPod commercial” (or [...]]]></description>

		<title>London Calling: 65daysofstatic @ Duke of York Picture House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can honestly say I’ve never seen a live performance of a movie score, much less heard of the concept, until now. In late November, English band 65daysofstatic took their alternative score of the 1972 sci-fi flick “Silent Running” to the Duke of York Picture House in Brighton, Britain’s oldest continuously operating cinema.
The band premiered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[#1 Album:
Fleet Foxes &#8211; Helplessness Blues
In the spring of 2011, the stakes appeared to be set impossibly high for Fleet Foxes. Their debut LP was a massive critical and popular success that shot them into the upper echelon of indie stardom almost overnight; the three years Robin Pecknold &#38; Co. spent crafting the followup through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overlooked Records of 2011: The King of Limbs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Radiohead &#8211; The King of Limbs
Unfortunately, one of the best albums of the year (in my opinion) has been subject to some of the worst qualities of the music-listening world: shallowness, self-righteousness, and stubbornness. Listeners who were waiting for a logical follow-up to 2007’s brilliant In Rainbows instead got a follow-up that was something more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Really Contentious Overlooked Records of 2011: Lulu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lou Reed and Metallica &#8211; Lulu
I know what they say about Lulu. But I listened anyway, and found out they’re completely wrong. The negativity surrounding Lulu started before the album even came out, with critics tearing apart the odd combination of Lou’s deadpan voice and Metallica’s power riffs, and internet trolls turning the repeated line [...]]]></description>

		<title>WVAU Top Music of 2011: #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[#2 Album:
St. Vincent &#8211; Strange Mercy
It is more than understandable that Annie Clark is perhaps the most lusted-after woman in indie-rock today (she tops the list of Stereogum’s top indie crushes of 2011), but for slightly less obvious reasons than one might suppose. Beyond her stunningly good looks, skin so-fair-it&#8217;s-not-fair, impeccable style, and impressive musicianship [...]]]></description>

Bon Iver &#8211; Bon Iver
“This is not a place,” Justin Vernon coos on the album&#8217;s glacial introduction, “Perth.” Bon Iver&#8217;s first album (2008&#8217;s haunting For Emma, Forever Ago) is largely associated with its creation during his heartbroken retreat to an isolated northern cabin, a detail that adds special poignancy to its spare beauty. But [...]]]></description>

Did your 2011 lack the dark comedy lyrics of folk punk, the danceable melodies of your favorite 2009 synth-pop band, the belting choruses of your emotional middle school years, and the DIY New Jersey attitude?  Have no fear, The Front Bottoms are here.  
On their self-titled debut [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overlooked Albums of 2011: Frank Ocean</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frank Ocean &#8211; Nostalgia, Ultra.
With his first major release, Frank Ocean emerges as a broken-hearted sensitive crooner (a.k.a. an oddball) in the OFWGKTA crew, the angry youth-driven group that the public has deemed to be the worst thing since unsliced bread. While parents worried themselves silly with the Wolf Gang’s violent-sex crazed dirty raps, Ocean [...]]]></description>

EMA &#8211; Past Life Martyred Saints
Past Life Martyred Saints is an album that encompasses the feelings of disappointment and creeping failure that singer EMA experienced after moving to California to become an artist; her own account being that of devastation and emotional implosion that left her drained. Since then, she&#8217;s been offered redemption through [...]]]></description>

At some point, your favorite embarrassing Top 40 jam probably earned a spot among some publication’s best tracks of the year, from the overwrought (“Someone Like You”) to the nonsensical (“Super Bass”) to the swagged-out/opulent/batshit crazy (“Niggas in Paris”). But 2011’s best pop [...]]]></description>
