As the semester winds down and winter weather settles in, Villanova University has been buzzing with holiday spirit and celebrations. Throughout December celebrations have been taking place across campus from the Finneran Pavilion to the Performing Arts center and everywhere in between.

Last month, I released my list of my 25 favorite albums this year (check it out here!), which was probably the most difficult list I have made for WXVU so far. In limiting my list to 25 albums, I had to leave out so many incredible records that deserve to be highlighted. For this week’s […]
As I reflect on this past year, there is one album that has continued to touch me in profound ways with every new listen. The Art of Loving by emerging Pop artist Olivia Dean, took the world by storm after its release at the end of September. In just three short months, the album topped […]
The Lansdowne Theater in Lansdowne, Delaware County opened its doors in 1927. It was home to performances for 60 years, but an electrical fire shuttered its doors.

Thanks to Live Nation and the venue, this event was everything that I hoped for and more. The last time I saw Billie was in […]
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 […]
