Theater Thursday: “Jersey Boys”

February 10th, 2011 by WLOY Staff

If you were raised on a healthy dosage of 60’s pop rock then you are luck. Even if you weren’t, yet you are looking for a night out on the town, then the Hippodrome Performing Arts Center is the place to be. The four-time Tony Award winning musical Jersey Boys has finally arrived in Baltimore, and will stay at the Hippodrome until Sunday, February 27th. The production has enjoyed critical acclaim since its debut in 2004, and has toured throughout the United States as well as England, Canada, and Australia. Baltimore is lucky enough to be the next stop on their tour; however, the boys will not be here for long so the time to act is now. Read the rest of this entry »

Wacky Wednesday: Joe Squared

February 9th, 2011 by WLOY Staff

On Loyola’s campus alone there are over five places that will deliver pizza right to our hungry pizza craving faces. But if you’re interested in a different and perhaps more entertaining way to chomp on some cheesy crust, consider Joe Squared.

The restaurant, bar, slash music venue offers a new setting in which to enjoy the classic meal. The eccentric pizzeria hosts artists for acoustic dinners from 7-9p.m almost every night.

Music variety mimics Joe’s extensive topping choices, ranging from indie rock to funky jazz and occasional break dance parties. Located a quick drive from Loyola, Joe Squared can provide a delish meal and great tunes any night of the week. Read the rest of this entry »

Alumni Spotlight: Jeff Malone (2010)

February 8th, 2011 by WLOY Staff

Last week I was able to get in touch with another one of WLOY’s most recent alum, Jeff Malone, class of 2010. Once both a DJ and a staff member in the station, Jeff is now out in the “real world,” dealing with some of the post-graduate elements. One of the ways in which Jeff occupies his time was with the creation of his very own blog, which features reviews on SNL episodes, the best of 2010 and more! Find out more about Jeff and his blog after the jump!

Bright Eyes – The People’s Key

February 7th, 2011 by WLOY Staff

This could very well be Bright Eyes’ swan song. Hinting at the dying days of his Bright Eyes project last year in Rolling Stone, indie darling Conor Oberst sounded like he was ready to say goodbye to the band that garnered him fame as the poster-boy for skinny, bedroom-dwelling high school males everywhere, the 00’s answer to 80’s punk and 90’s emo. The kid is talented too, no denying that. Besides eliciting comparisons to the oh-so-comparable likes of Dylan, Oberst could weave his own warbly lines of genius. Whether they be drug-infused, lovelorn, or downright depressed, Bright Eyes’ lyrics tore at heartstrings with ease. Arriving at his most recent effort with the band’s impending mortality in question, we’re left with one, main query: should this be the finish line for Bright Eyes, is this how we want it all to end?
