A few weeks ago, I heard about a local Bloomington band named Early Grey. Early Grey as a band is innovative and experimental, rising in the local music scene and attempting to spread their influence across the midwest and beyond. Our conversation centered around their beginnings, what they’re doing with their style and personality, and the future plans for the band.
Just yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with the up-and-coming Bloomington band Mourning Star. The group, consisting of members Thom Kitchel, Anna Prager, Nova Hardie, and Cam Parker, has existed for about a year and recently released their first EP just a few weeks ago called flowers for your friends after months of hard work and dedication.

Despite the sea of crimson and cream taking over Hinkle Fieldhouse, the Hoosiers couldn’t ride the wave to a victory as Butler defeated Indiana 56-46, pushing the Hoosiers to 1-2 on this young season.
On October 19th, I had the privilege of attending a performance over 700 years in the making. I don’t think anyone can fully prepare to see a medieval depiction of hell in a century-old film accompanied by a driving synth score.

On October 19th, 2024, the Indiana University ballet program performed four consecutive, yet extremely unique, ballets that I never expected to witness.
So, Chromakopia came out this Monday. I have listened to it a couple of times now, and I still have no clue how to feel.

This week, we talked about songs that are ALWAYS stuck in our heads. Sorry in advance if they become stuck in yours...

--When I heard that the first event in WIUX’s yearly Pledge-a-Thon was a CD burn, I rushed to check it out! I didn’t know exactly how it would work, but as I walked into the Collins Commons, it quickly became clear. $5 later (donated to help keep our beloved station up and running), I was standing in line.
A few weeks ago, one of my close friends introduced me to a musical genre he coined as “Evil Techno.” This genre was unlike anything I had heard before– dark, rapid, and charged, it sounded like something you’d hear while watching a movie scene of 20-somethings partying at a euphoric underground rave somewhere in Europe, clad in black clothes and moody makeup.
