Tomorrow night WBAR continues its tradition of solid shows by bands you’ve probably never heard of with No Age and Double Dagger in Lerner’s Party Space. Lucky for Bwog, WBAR staffer Jamie Johns had the opportunity to talk with the duo about health food, Squeeze, and the perks of blossoming rock stardom. Over the past […]

With all the hoopla surrounding you–know–who coming to town, we figured you could all use a little break. Missed the WBAR shows this weekend? No worries. Here’s a recap (photos by Max Friedman). WBAR had the first of its monthly concerts Thurday night on Lehman Lawn. The weather was beautiful and so was the music. […]

It’s a big city out there. Bwog continues its (fledgling) series of artsy picks to help you navigate the world below Morningside. Orhan Pamuk Pamuk–winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature–is taking time off from his part-time professorial duties to read from his latest, Other Colors: Essays and a Story, a collection of essays […]

News has it (or shows, rather) that Barnard radio station WBAR has unleashed a new website, featuring a new-and-improved albeit bizzarely colonial layout. Noteable changes also include a “Now Playing” sidebar that features a photo for the show currently on air, a more organized online schedule, and a “Show of the Week” feature if you’re […]

Ambition is the theme of today’s minutiae: presidential, artistic, or otherwise. Below, Bwog catches up with opportunities taken—and opportunities you could take. It’s All About Obama Bwog’s favorite headline generator has stolen the day once again. Barack Obama C’83 lurched ever closer to outing his potential presidential plans today when he announced he was forming […]

Band members, would-be band members, and people who just like to wear skinny jeans and slip-ons congregated in lower level Macintosh at the WBAR-b-q this afternoon to celebrate the cream of CU/Barnard’s indie crop. And eat burgers and drink beer. Combined with lazing in parks and chucking around various objects, could an idyllic spring Saturday […]
