Top 40 for 10.13.11
October 12th, 2011 by Eric Loose
With another week, we have another album in the number one position of this week’s Top 40. M83, masterminded by a man by the name of Anthony Gonzalez, have released one of my most-anticipated of the year– and it does not let down by any means. An astoundingly solid double album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming has jumped straight to number one, usurping previous placeholder Bon Iver. Trust me, with Gonzalez’s consistency, his latest album is both expected and amazing at the same time. You can expect Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming to top many a year-end list.

The ALCS and the NLCS….Two Teams walk on, Two Teams say bye
October 12th, 2011 by Anthony Santiago
Major League Baseball has had some huge upsets and major surprises sprinkled throughout the season. The Red Sox went 1-6 in the first week of Baseball, The Cleveland Indians held onto first place in the very competitive American League Central for a large duration of the season, and the New York Yankees also did not enter the Playoffs coming into the “dog days” of September.
Flash Forward to October where the Red Sox eliminate themselves from the postseason, propelling the Rays into the divisional series. New York plays the eventual winner of the American League Central, the Detroit Tigers. The “Usual Suspects” of the Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Milwaukee Brewers find themselves taking on unlikely opponents in the Tampa Bay Rays, the St. Louis Cardinals, and Arizona Diamondbacks.

Open Mic is cancelled.
October 12th, 2011 by Amanda Nolan
This Thursday October 13, the Open Mic night is cancelled. Why, you ask, as you beg, plead, and cry for us to change our minds? Well, it’s Fall Break. Go home. Enjoy the company of your family. Most importantly, wolf down those home-cooked meals, because you won’t be seeing them until Turkey Day.
Don’t fret. We’ll be back. On October 20, WLOY is screening The Rocky Horror Picture Show on the Quad, so prepare to dress up, dance, enjoy some food, and marvel at this cult film. And, on October 27, we’re partnering with the Poetry Club for an event in the Reading Room! If you want to look even further ahead on our events, you can check our listing.
Seriously, though. Go home.

Movie Night: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
October 12th, 2011 by Amanda Nolan
You walk into the theatre, and you see a transvestite who doubles as a mad scientist, a groupie, a domestic, a creature of the night… well, it’s quite obvious that the theatre you’ve walked into is showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the cult film phenomenon that thrives on audience participation, over-the-top costumes, and racy themes.
Thursday October 20 WLOY is bringing TRHPS to Loyola. This isn’t your regular movie night; we’re showing the cult musical on the Quad with a huge blow-up screen. And, in true Rocky Horror fashion, we’re encouraging audience participation. We’ll have prizes (tickets and t-shirts!) for the best costumes and for the best renditions of the “Time Warp”!

Twin Sister: In Heaven
October 12th, 2011 by Kevin Chadwick
The colorful cover theme of Twin Sister’s new album In Heaven, released on Sept. 27th, serves as a window into the whirlwind of melodies that lay just inside. The Long Island band formed in 2008 when its five members wrote and recorded their first EP, Vampires Dreaming with Kids. Since then, they have released one other EP, entitled Color Your Life, and their first LP, In Heaven.
Twin Sister’s marriage of indie rock and “dream pop” creates intricate, yet still catchy, melodies that take you through a dream-like world. Unlike the music, the lyrics are very focused on the little aspects of life rather than life-altering events. Little events such as recommending a movie to a friend are sung about in Gene Ciampi. The mix of broad sounds and focused lyrics make for a very unique sound. Read the rest of this entry »
