By Madisen GummerMusic Journalist One of the many unique and lovely things about San Marcos are all of its independent coffee shops. They each have their own environment, energy and regulars that make up its niche community. They all also thrive year round (perks of being located in a college town). You can almost encapsulate the auras of each one of these places in a song. Jo’s Cafe: “Hey Joe” […]

By Madisen GummerMusic Journalist One of the many great things about being in the music department of a college radio station is the amount of new music we get to discover on a weekly basis. My favorite artist that I’ve come across yet is Pearla. This week I stumbled across her spectacular EP, Quilting & Other Activities, and it’s all I’ve been able to listen to. This short collection of […]
By Madisen GummerMusic Journalist Norman F*****g Rockwell! (NFR!) is the sixth studio album and poetic masterpiece from Lana Del Rey. The fourteen track record, released on Aug. 30, 2019, yet again tiptoes the outskirts of mainstream music while bringing something fresh yet still remaining in the true essence of “Lana Del Rey.” There are echoes of storylines and musical intricacies from her first couple albums within this record, but overall […]
By Madisen GummerMusic Journalist One of the many powers of music is its ability to heighten any moment in life, and especially in film. “Call Me By Your Name” is a quintessential idyllic summer, coming of age film, with a soundtrack that is beautiful itself, and when paid attention to, adds so much more depth and meaning. A beautiful mix of enchanting piano melodies and ‘80s pop sung in a […]

Everyone knows songs like “Rhiannon” and “Dreams,” popular when first released and still ringing in the ears of generations later. Through their numerous lineups, in-band drama, drugs, you name it, they have persisted with grace, and the impact this band has had on the music industry is undeniable. However, from the days when they were […]

Some of my new favorite songs from […]
By Madisen Gummer Music Journalist Beach Fossils sound like spring, and Tuesday, April 23 they brought their warm and dreamy melodies to Mohawk in Austin to begin their US tour. I was personally excited for this show because not only am I a big fan of the headliners, but also the two openers. Why Bonnie graced the stage with a perfect mix of eloquence and grunge. Their set included some […]
