2009 – The Year in WRBC

2009 was an interesting year in the history of WRBC. The saw several key changes and its prominence on campus grow to a significant degree. It was a year marked by a variety of concerts, excellent programing, and a few bumps along the way. The WRBC board and the station at large has worked hard to make 2009 one of the best years in our over 50 year history on FM and hopes to build on that momentum in 2010.

Thus, here is a partial rundown of everything that was accomplished over the past year.

January 15: Winter Semester general meeting, we welcome new members onto the board and completely fill the schedule for the third semester in a row.

January 17: Concert by Black Taxi (With Class of 2010 Co-Presidents and Bates Musicians’ Union)

Editor’s Picks: 10 Best Songs of 2009

With just 16 days remaining in 2009, and the music calendar winding down, its time to look back at the year in music as I provide you with my picks for the 10 best songs of the year.

1. “Laughing With” (Far) Regina Spektor
This dark piano ballad about our ironic relationship with God is simple, beautiful and delightfully addicting.

2. “All is Love” (Where the Wild Things Are) Karen O and the Kids

The movie might not have lived up to its expectations, but the soundtrack was absolutely fantastic. Karen O and her assembled indie rock supergroup really score with this track, a brilliant and childish indie-pop hit that will be around for sometime.

3. “Rome” (Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix) Phoenix

The French rockers made it into the mainstream with Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and this track, delightfully electronic and new wave, is a gem. Read more »
