The New WGSU Website
Hi everyone! you may have noticed that there have been some changes made to the website. Earlier this week I pushed out a brand new design that gives the site a more bloggish feel. My goal is to regularly update the site with fresh content including station news, album reviews, photos, and more.
Geneseo sports a small, but vibrant music scene. The site will also feature photos, videos and articles regarding all of the great student bands on campus.
If you have anything you would like to get published on the site, whether it be an article or photos, email me at hps1@geneseo.edu and we can work on getting it on the site. When I say anything, I really mean it. The more content, from the more contributors, the better.
Thanks!
Herb

Anarchy, My Dear, however, is anything but reminiscent of Is A Real Boy-style Say Anything. 
Voice of Ages, by the Chieftains, is a collection of collaborations between the Chieftains – one of the most prominent Irish folk bands of the last half-century – and various folk luminaries, including the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the Decemberists. I was ready for it to be one of the best folk albums of the year. While there are some fantastic tracks on the record, there are too many disappointing ones for me to recommend this album to anybody who doesn’t have a vested interest in folk music.
The Internet tells me she writes folk songs about breaking up with people and then being sad about it; rather like a whole other bunch of pretty good lady singers. It’s a good shtick I hear, but it seems to insinuate lack of breadth (narrative, instrumental, whatever). And some of those criticisms have been levied at her previous works, and some of those criticisms were valid. So let me begin the review proper with this: Tramp is a great record.
