To tell the truth, this could be the last time: Scene-ior Selections

John Darr, Erin McAuliffe, Jack Riedy, Kelly McGarry and Jimmy Kemper | Wednesday, May 3, 2017

No matter what the denizens of Scene past will tell you, the class of 2017 is a special one. Notoriously banned for writing music reviews during their freshman year in an attempt to publish articles on someone besides Kanye West, this year’s Scene-iors are perhaps the most in-tune in the section’s history. They can be

Adrian Mark Lore, Erin McAuliffe and Nora McGreevy | Tuesday, May 2, 2017

This week, we discussed music we listen to during the summer, or associate with the sunniest season. We all took different approaches to the question, but all of it’s worth checking out!

Darn, these features are good

Erin McAuliffe and Jack Riedy | Thursday, April 20, 2017

Kendrick Lamar has an iconic discography — so iconic that it somehow manages to stay unmarred by his shaky collaboration history. Taylor Swift, Adam Levine, Robin Thicke and Imagine Dragons all successfully recruited him for their tracks — we couldn’t have composed a more unfortunate list if we tried. However, on “DAMN.” Lamar has total

Diet Cig’s terrific trampoline tunes

Erin McAuliffe | Friday, April 7, 2017

This morning I snoozed for 49 minutes. Pop-punk duo Diet Cig’s Alex Luciano (vocals and guitar) gets that feeling — and pretty much everything else millennials “meme” about — on the band’s debut album “Swear I’m Good At This,” released April 7th. “I wanna be the best one at this but I don’t wanna get

Scene’s Selections: Songs about Death

Brian Boylen, Adam Ramos, Mike Donovan and Erin McAuliffe | Thursday, March 30, 2017

This week’s selections were inspired by Mount Eerie’s musical eulogy to his wife who died of pancreatic cancer, which you can read more about here. On Phil Elverum’s (Mount Eerie) newest album, “A Crow Looked at Me,” the grieving musician writes a haunting tribute to his wife, Genevieve, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2016. On

When booking breaks

Erin McAuliffe | Monday, March 27, 2017

I tried to avoid going spring broke this break and forwent the all-inclusive resort destination (and, thankfully, the “Cancun you believe I’m here?” / “Cancun I stay here all year?” Instagram “puns”) for a road trip across California with four friends. However, the trip taught me a few lessons about the pains of staying on

We’re only a couple months into 2017, but artists are already teasing work that could be Album of the Year material. Here’s what our staff is listening to right now. Lorde – “Green Light”  By Nora McGreevy When Lorde hears sound, she sees color. In “Green Light,” a pre-release off of Lorde’s upcoming June 16 album, “Melodrama,” Lorde weaves
