Song of the Week: When the Night Falls by Chromeo
February 17, 2012 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts and Entertainment Editor
To celebrate to this week’s holiday, only a romantic song from no other than the funky Quebecois duo Chromeo will do. Channeling the ’70s and ’80s, this dynamic pair has hit another win with their most recent single “When the Night Falls.” Chromeo has enjoyed modest success...
Song of the Week: Perth by Bon Iver
January 3, 2012 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts and Entertainment Editor
Learning how to swallow your pride is a good New Year’s resolution. Which is why the first Song of the Week for 2012 is “Perth” by Bon Iver, despite their popularity with hipsters and Rolling Stone’s odious ongoing love affair with them. Bon Iver is simply amazing. Kanye West said as much...
Song of the Week: Beethoven’s Symphony Number Nine
December 21, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts and Entertainment Editor
Song of the Week is keeping it classy for the holidays with this seminal Ludwig Van chart-topper, “Symphony Number Nine.” This song is not just the song of this week, but it is the defining song of mankind. Popular music is one of the most transient things in our society, yet this nearly...
Song of the Week: Drive It Like You Stole It by The Glitch Mob
December 20, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts and Entertainment Editor
Who said Electro, a splinter sub genre of electronic music that notably follows the progression of a normal song(having a chorus and not being repetitive) had its day in the early 2000’s? The increasingly popular Glitch Mob had a mini-hit last year with “Drive It Like You Stole It,” a powerful...
Song of the Week: Nightcall by Kavinsky
November 30, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts and Entertainment Editor
Our nation’s Crazy, Stupid Love affair with Ryan Gosling may have reached its peak, but I don’t think my love for “Nightcall” by French DJ Kavinsky, which was featured in the soundtrack of Drive, ever will. Drive, directed by Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn, was a hit crime drama released...
Song of the Summer: Pumped Up Kicks
October 22, 2011 • Wahid Ishrar, Staff Writer
This song is one of the most highly disturbing songs of the generation, yet it hit the Hot 100 list as soon as it was released. “Pumped Up Kicks” was Foster the People’s first song to be released and was also included in their first album Torches, which hit the racks May 23, 2011. The...
Song of the Week: You Only Get What you Give by the New Radicals
October 3, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts & Entertainment Editor
Fondly remembering music that you weren’t old enough to know at the time it was released might seem like forced nostalgia, but when the music is as good as ‘90s pop was, pardons must be made. “You Only Get What you Give” by the New Radicals is a seminal ‘90s hit, often forgotten in the wake...
Song of the Week: Lights Remix
June 2, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Online Arts & Entertainment Editor
Ellie Goulding is just the latest development in the increasing influx of talented female British vocalists peddling their wares Stateside. Fitting then, that Bassnectar, an American dubstep DJ who is peddling another fast-growing trend, gives Goulding a leg up in the game with his remix of her song...
Song of the Week: “Judas”
May 23, 2011 • Sasha Tycko, Print Editor-in-Chief
Lady Gaga’s raucous, glass-shattering anthem “Judas” is a far cry from her earlier “Just Dance” days. Her lyrics are more substantial, her singing is wilder and her outfits are more bizarre than ever. In the controversial hit, Gaga explores the relationship between Jesus and Judas, ultimately...
Song of the Week: The Wilhelm Scream by James Blake
May 9, 2011 • Cameron Keyani, Staff Writer
In light of the Dubstep article in the April 28 issue of The Pitch, it is only fitting that the song of the week should be a Dubstep song. However, “The Wilhelm Scream” by James Blake is far from a prototypical dubstep, incorporating elements of jazz to make a more subdued, soulful sound. A “Wilhelm...
