Tuesday Daily Editor Briana “Badgalbribri” is back on this Wednesday afternoon to share some music that she’s been “thinkin about a lot lately.” Most of these songs were made years apart from one another, but their messages remain thematically consistent and particularly relevant right now. Hopefully, the lyrics and messages of these songs will inspire […]

On Saturday it was nearly 80 degrees and today it is right back down to 48 degrees. What’s good?? To boost your mood and warm your soul, Bwog’s personal DJ, Briana “Breezus,” brings some fresh beats you can jam to.   Although I prefer this season much more than everlasting winter, the unpredictable nature of spring can […]

Bold, beautiful, bro, Ross Chapman usually plays a brass instrument, but on Wednesday night he opted to sit back and listen. Heres what he got.   At our weekly meeting on Sunday, Bwog’s Arts Editor (through proxy) pitched a pair of concerts. I could either go to a performance of Bach on Tuesday or a recital […]

Spring break’s over. It’s somehow still cold. You’ve just flunked three consecutive midterms. Zayn left One Direction. We get it; March sucks. Here, our resident music aficionado and features editor Tatini Mal-Sarkar brings you precisely one hour’s worth of angry, angsty music to get you through these really terrible days. 1. Suffocation — Crystal Castles […]

An a Capella aficionado visited the joint concert of a Capella groups at schools that share “Bears” as a mascot. Alliteration with the letter “b,” punny group names, and a bucketload of talent guaranteed.  Last night, Barnard Bacchantae and the Brown Bear Necessities took to Low Steps for a short concert, serenading the school back from […]

The title was vague and the description even vaguer. Music, books, dreams, memories, computer generated sounds? What do all of these have in common? Bwog didn’t know either, so we sent Caroline Montgomery to report. On wednesday night, I traveled over to the Italian Academy, not really knowing what to expect. To be honest, I […]

Dance (let’s be realistic: awkwardly sway) away your midterm woes at this semester’s third Live at Lerner Sounds event in the Lerner Piano Lounge today from noon to 1 pm. This time they’ve got Plastic Cannons, an indie pop band based out of Brooklyn. (Hip!) As always, there will be free food as well: some offerings from this […]

Father Dan O’Reilly is the director of Columbia Catholic Ministry and one of the more musical priests around. Catholicism curator Max Rettig sat down with Fr. O’Reilly to talk slogans, Pope Benedict, and Catholic rock bands. Bwog: How would you define your role inside of the Columbia community as head of the Catholic Ministry, and […]

There’s a smattering of musical events featuring your classmates around the city tonight and through the weekend.  It’ll probably be more fun than breaking into some rando senior’s EC townhouse. NEWER SOUNDS: Back to School When: Tonight from 5-10 pm Where: Hostelling International at 104th and Amsterdam Cost: $5 for students Who: Not one but three […]

Early this morning, Columbia College Student Council began publicity on a week-long music festival in the days leading up to Bacchanal this year (April 9-14).  The schedule of acts is below.  According to CCSC members behind the event, they have booked a “major male recording artist known for creating buzz on college campuses” for the […]

If you’re wondering why you woke up today to Beyonce and LMFAO, it’s ’cause CCO was getting ready to fix New York City. They’re at it now!

Big Gigantic will be headlining, with Wavves and Curren$y as the opening acts. Spicy Special will be the student group opener. Seeing as the theme is Baccha90s, we were sorta expecting someone from not this decade too, but whatevs. It could be worse. So get psyched—the concert is only two weeks away!

A cool new band name? Nope, something even bigger! Taking democracy into the concert hall, Kevin Lee, CC ’14, has set out to redefine the very notion of the “student orchestra” by tapping the depths of Columbia (and New York) musical talent to start one of his own. Bwog’s literal harmony hunter Alexandra Svokos sat […]

Columbia bureaucrats and student groups alike figured out long ago that the key to our collective heart is an overstuffed, all-American, oh-so-irresistible burrito. Tonight, look forward not only to free food, but also to the fantastic music of your peers at SEAS Battle of the Bands. All of this will take place in the mysterious […]

The fabulous Live at Lerner series continues this afternoon at 12 in the Piano Lounge. This week showcases the musical stylings of The Loom, who say of their sound, “we’re a rock band but it’s kind of folky,” and their latest album, “it is a simple search for joy.”  The band was deemed “The Next Big […]
