After a year of pandemic madness, we at WMUC decided to reflect on the music of spring 2020 that got us through early quarantine and lockdowns. Whether it be new releases, or old favorites that came out of the gallows to comfort us through a difficult time, here are the songs that were on repeat while we were locked in.

April is International Guitar Month.
In honor of this, "Dave's Record Collection" will feature songs about guitars and some of the greatest achievers of the instrument.
APRIL 17th, 2021 6:00 to 10 PM
Tune in for an incredible journey related to the guitar! Thanks for your continued support of free form radio!

almost monday might have begun their musical odyssey doing shows out of various garages in San Diego, but this fall, Dawson Daugherty, Cole Clisby and Luke Fabry are taking the cross-country journey to Manchester, Tennessee for the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. They’ll be playing alongside the likes of Lizzo, Tame Impala and Tyler, The Creator, an opportunity they’re still working to comprehend.

Yes, and no.

It’s a question we ask ourselves quite often, but rarely sit down to truly think about.
Artists we consider to have indisputably impacted music culture include The Beatles, Whitney Houston, Eminem, Michael Jackson, and more. Not only can we collectively agree on this because our parents loved them, but also because many artists we look up to today idolized them as well.

In every field, women have faced an uphill battle to be seen and heard, and they are rarely celebrated as much as their male counterparts. Music is not an exception-women have participated in every movement in musical history but are seldom regarded as highly as men. This Women’s History Month, I would like to shed light on some of the musicians who redefined the role of women in music and created groundbreaking work that will be remembered and celebrated for decades to come.

It’s the end of Women’s History Month and no one loves women in music more than I do. If you haven’t tuned into my show No Boys Allowed (noon on Thursdays on WMUC digital), perhaps you haven’t heard about my passion for women in music, particularly pop. In fact, I almost exclusively listen to female musicians. Since I consider myself an expert on the topic and have a huge ego, I thought I would share my favorite albums by female musicians. I focused most of this list on contemporary albums and this list is roughly ranked from least to most favorite.

Back for the third time, we here at WMUC put in overtime to bring you the third edition of our zine, REVERIE. With spring brings upon an era of growth, which we showcased with an array of talented writers, photographers, poets, artists, and more. Join us in this journey by reading REVERIE here.

5.“Hear My Voice” from “The Trial of the Chicago 7”
Written and Performed by Celeste, this song was for those who protested the Democratic National Convention in 1968. The song captures the theme of protest and rebellion within the movie with the lyric “Hear my voice, hear my dreams.” Celeste’s voice is accompanied by a Beatles-esque instrumental, which immerses the listener into the time period of the trial and creates a powerful narrative about the political troubles.

I started listening to JoJo Siwa’s music last summer. At the time, I was babysitting a lot, which meant participating in numerous dance parties. The Youtube auto-play feature introduced us to the song “High Top Shoes” by JoJo Siwa, and that was all it took to turn me to a stan.
