WLOY Cleans Up San Antonio
When we got to the National Student Electronic Media Convention in San Antonio, they had all these trophies lying around messing up the place. It seemed a shame to mess up a nice looking city like San Antonio, and since we care about that kind of stuff, we helped make it nice and neat. Taking the trophies back to Baltimore seemed the best plan.

Review: Adding up the wasted hours – The Lonely Forest
Adding up the wasted hours
The Lonely Forest
[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-lonely-forest/id264475829?uo=4″ title=”the lonely forest”]
Grade: A
The Lonely Forest, an indie rock band from Anacortes, Washington releases their fourth studio album, Adding up the Wasted Hours on October 15, 2013. The album is a mix of indie rock and the influence of synthesizers to give it a unique sound. The introduction of synthesizers really enhances the sound of each and every song. The Lonely Forest though does not stray to far from from its indie roots. Adding up the Wasted Hours is similar to music from the Bombay Bicycle Club and Vampire Weekend. Every song on the album is a new journey that the listener is taken on.

Beach Fossils and Kurt Vile at Ottobar
On Sunday, October 27th my travels took me to a local favorite, The Ottobar. The grungy little bar featuring a tiny stage, and an equally small dance floor to match is one of the best venues in the city to see live music, and on Sunday, Beach Fossils and Kurt Vile shared the stage.

Review: Linkin Park – Recharged
Recharged
Linkin Park
[itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-light-that-never-comes/id701162375?uo=4″ title=””]
Grade: D
The rock band, Linkin Park released its second remix album, Recharged, on October 29, 2013. The album fell short from the band’s usual numetal sound. It was manufactured, and not as organic as the band’s usual sound. The remix album sounds very dubstep, which usually would be a great thing to add to a rock sound.

Kathleen McKeveny– “Pink Moon”- Nick Drake – [itunes link=”https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/pink-moon/id1286358?uo=4″ title=”Itunes”]
Because he made the whole sullen singer songwriter/turtle neck wearing/ sexy lanky guy thing work the first time around. Those songs are just the best of their kind, no matter how many wannabe Nick Drakes there are out there, he’s still nuuuuumero uno :0
