Happy Halloween from WXVU!!! Whether you decide to stay in and watch a scary movie or partake in late-night festivities (Kelly’s), Halloween is a deeply enjoyable holiday where we all get to pretend to be someone else for one night a year. To hopefully enhance your Halloweekend, I recommend 5 “spooky” albums to listen to […]
The first and only time I snuck out of my house was on February 11th, 2022, the day after my 18th birthday. I was a Senior in High School at the time and, even then, sneaking out was a big deal to me: I was a timid, well-behaved kid who rarely ever got into major […]
At 9 o’clock in the morning, Villanova students dressed in their blue and white volunteer outfits, gathered at the stadium, ready to serve. After a speech from Father Peter and a moment of prayer, the buses rolled out. This year marked the 20th Annual Villanova Day of Service, a tradition that brings together hundreds of […]
A typical broadcast day for Villanova’s Radio Station usually involves between two to six student-hosted shows, lasting an hour and a half each, with a pre-selected song playlist playing in between shows and – after 8:00pm – a smooth jazz nighttime show to end each day’s broadcast.

(Full transparency: This post was intended to be a “Today in Music History” post on September 26th, when this album was first released 56 years ago.

The year is 2002. You get off a six-hour flight arriving in the heart of Ireland, and there he is: Bono. My dad still tells the tale of the time he met rock legend and U2’s frontman in the Dublin airport. Me? Well, the closest I ever got to Bono was seeing his son’s band […]
One of my favorite things about attending concerts, especially those of bands I am unfamiliar with, is finding the merch tent. In my eyes, a band’s merchandise is a telling indicator about what the upcoming concert is going to be like: colorful merchandise being an indicator of a vibrant show, or darker, more plain merch […]
Ciara Mary Alice Thompson, better known as CMAT, has built a reputation for her sharp humor, campy country pop sound, and fiercely loyal fanbase. At her Webster Hall show in New York, she proved why she has become such a distinct voice in music right now. The crowd reflected what she once told Dazed: “CMAT […]
Dua Lipa turned Madison Square Garden into a full scale spectacle, reminding everyone why she is one of the biggest names in pop right now. The night was packed with surprises, outfit changes, and nonstop energy that made it feel like more than just a concert. It was a true performance. One of the highlights […]
Seeing Lorde at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia honestly blew me away. The openers were amazing too. Japanese House and Blood Orange are both acts I already love, so it felt like such a strong lineup before Lorde even came out. She opened with “Hammer” and the energy was immediate. The entire crowd knew […]
