Observer Spotify Wrapped 2022: In our Taylor era

Aidan Thomas | Thursday, December 8, 2022

Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages, we’re back with the Observer Spotify (and other music platforms) Wrapped. Our team of student journalists, frequently found at major campus events or hunkered in our office in the basement of South Dining Hall, listen to a lot of music. Maybe even more music than the average listener,

Scene’s Top 22 Albums of 2022

Observer Scene | Wednesday, December 7, 2022

22. ‘Cave World’ by Viagra Boys “Cave World” is the third LP of punk rock band Viagra Boys, and it expands upon what made their previous records so great. The album is absolutely soaked in meta-irony and absurdist humor. Viagra Boys are simultaneously drawn to and repelled by the eclectic world of conspiracy theories, incels

The sound of Beach House’s ‘Once Twice Melody’

John Clark | Thursday, February 24, 2022

Considering the fact that my music taste is dominated by white rock music, it always surprises me when I remember that I got into Beach House via Kendrick Lamar. On the song “Money Trees” from his 2012 album “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City,” Kendrick sampled Beach House’s “Silver Soul” from their 2010 breakthrough album “Teen Dream.”

Scene Selections: May flowers

Aidan O'Malley, Evan McKenna, Maggie Klaers, Alysa Guffey and John Clark | Wednesday, May 5, 2021

A few weeks ago, Scene was feeling blue. And can you blame us? As we trudged our way through the middle of the semester, our already-low spirits were lowered only still by “permacloud,” rain storms and chilly temperatures. Throw in some seasonal allergies, and you’ve got yourself the month of April. So we did what

Scene Selections: April showers

Aidan O'Malley, Willoughby Thom, Maeve Filbin, Sarah Kikel, Nick Brigati, John Clark, Lexi Kilcoin and Nia Sylva | Wednesday, April 14, 2021

Weather-wise, South Bend was spoiled at the start of this month. Over the Easter weekend, for example, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping — I even wore shorts! But as the month has meandered on, the clear-eyed possibility of spring has slowly been replaced with its edgy alter ego: the price for summer.

Straight fire: Rap’s best new releases

Ryan Israel | Thursday, September 24, 2020

It’s 2020, the world is on fire, they killed Pop Smoke, Kanye leaked his contract, Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper released a devotional love song, Bobby Shmurda and Drakeo the Ruler are still in jail, Kendrick Lamar is M.I.A. and if it’s a hit, it’s probably a TikTok hit. But rap music hasn’t stopped.

Commencement 2020: Four years in review

Ryan Israel and Mike Donovan | Friday, May 15, 2020

It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

Scene Selections: Feels like summer

Ryan Israel, Jim Moster and Dessi Gomez | Wednesday, April 29, 2020

There’s always something to look forward to. For Scene writers, that something is usually a forthcoming album from a personal-favorite artist, a new television show with rave reviews or a movie from A24. Sometimes, the build up to the release of a new thing can be more exciting than the thing itself. So come and

The best of Drake

Ryan Israel | Monday, March 30, 2020

Drake is the most ubiquitous, influential and popular music artist of the past decade. Drake is The Beatles. He has plenty of flaws — Google ghostwriters, hiding a child and more — and some really not great music. He’s also had some stellar feature appearances, outstanding songs and a few good albums. To stir up

In the age of streaming

Ryan Israel | Wednesday, December 4, 2019

A lot — and I mean a lot — of good music was released in the 2010s. Genres were blended, stars were born and social media gave us all an up-close view of the action. But the decade also saw a massive shift in the way we consume music. With the rise of services such
