Ticket Giveaway – TONIGHT!
October 10th, 2012 by WLOY Staff
Hey all you people! Hey all you people! Hey all you people, won’t you listen to meeeeee?
I just had a sandwich, no ordinary sandwich…
Just kidding. But still listen. Because tonight at 7PM, the Random Association Game is giving away a set of tickets to see PASSION PIT at the 930 Club in Washington, DC! The show is next Tuesday, October 16th. Did I mention it’s SOLD OUT? Because it is, so you literally cannot get tickets (at a reasonable price) anywhere else. How will you know when and how to win? You’ll just have to tune in later and find out.

Singers, Songwriters, and Saleem
October 9th, 2012 by WLOY Staff
Are you a singer or a songwriter? Do you enjoy listening to music? Do you enjoy free concerts? If your answer to any of those questions is yes, then our late night Singer/Songwriter Workshop is for you! This Thursday from 9-11p.m., WLOY is hosting a musical guest, Saleem, in the Reading Room. Remember Saleem? He has performed at Loyola a few times before and is always sure to please! His hip-hop style infused with the rhythm of Baltimore provides for a great musical treat. Bring instruments, original songs or whatever else you are working on and ask him for advice. Not a songwriter? Just come and enjoy!
