This year's Art Attack is going to be off the hook. Rapper Common will headline, with synth-emo jokesters Reggie and the Full Effect and rapper/slam poet Saul Williams opening.

WMUC is going to have a table on the mall, so stop by and say hey. We will also be introducing acts and giving away fabulous prizes all day, so keep an eye out for us!

Join your host the Harvman this Tuesday, 9 May 2006, from 6:00-8:00PM for "The 1960s Girl Group Extravaganza," on the Better Git It In Your Soul radio program. Obscure, pop-tastic 3-minute gems will be spotlighted heralding from both the US and the UK, and will feature the writing and production talents of Ellie Greenwich, Gerry Goffin, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Carole King, Tony Hatch, Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, and many more! Witness the origins of grrl power in pop music! BEWARE: the infectious melodies encased on these slabs of vinyl can become imbedded in your subconscious for decades.

This Saturday, April 28, WMUC DJs will be playing music on Hornbake Plaza during this year's Maryland Day.

We're going to be across the plaza from the center of Maryland Day festivities, the World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake, playing the hits and giving out fabulous prizes from 10 AM to 4 PM. So stop by, meet some of our DJ staff, eat some shortcake, and have a great time. This Maryland Day is shaping up to be the most exciting yet, and WMUC would love to see you there!
