EXECUTIVE STAFF SUMMER PICKS
Calvin Crunkleton, Music Director:
My song is "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" by the Talking Heads
I chose the song for a bunch of reasons, one is it reminds of my dad, he's really into new wave music and it was sorta this cool bonding thing between us. Another is its absurdist nature, it's a stream of consciousness lyrical style, which is my favorite way artists write their music. Finally, the song is just such a different sound than a lot of Talking Heads stuff, and it really shows the bands range and musical ability.
Jillian Yagoda, Program Director:
I’d probably pick “Borderline” by Tame Impala it’s an absolute banger and will probably be my most listened to song this summer.
Josh Schmidt, Video Team Manager:
“i used to” by imbi the girl ft. SUPERGO I’ve been loving this song this week because it has a fun beat. It’s about past struggles which is such a mood. This pride month I’ve been catching up on all the songs my trans and queer artists have put out this year! And this is one of them! Take a listen if you want to explore an artist and support the trans community!
Monique Wingo, News Director:
Beyoncé’s “Before I Let Go”— It’s a fresh remake of a classic hit for the culture! The song is too irresistible not to sing along with and the choreo is fun to try!
