It seems strange that a twenty-two year old song could suddenly feel new again.   In 2002, the Canadian band Broken Social Scene released their album “Anthems.” One of their most persisting and remembered tracks is “Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl.” The whole song is like high school condensed into a sweet four minute and thirty-one seconds, a sort of hazy, harmonizer-pitched dream, backed by beautiful, transcendent violins. And, of course, that impossibly catchy riff: Park that car. Drop that phone. Sleep on the floor. Dream about me.  It feels like being seventeen and in ..read more

Spring has sprung. The sun is shining, the grass is green, and that, good people of WKNC only means one thing; Bodhi needs to go to a baseball game. It’s a chronic condition at this point, the moment I get a whiff of 70 degree weather, I need a cold beer in hand and my butt in a stadium seat. Lucky for me, we’ve got hometown (adjacent) heroes just a stones throw away from campus that made it into silver screen history. What Do You Believe In? The Church of Baseball Written and directed by Ron Shelton, “Bull Durham” brings a fictionalized version of real life minor league darlings, the Durham B ..read more

Pushing boundaries is nothing new to Omerta. With their latest single, “Charade,” the band blurs the line between music, cacophony, the avant-garde and the outright unhinged. Let’s talk about it. A New Era Described by Culture Addicts as a “five-minute opus,” “Charade” is the first track of Omerta’s upcoming album “Suicycle.” The album is set to come out via Blowed Out Records, the label manned by Ross Robinson, Ghostemane and Bill Armstrong, later this year. As I explained in my profile on Omerta, the band’s genre is hard to define. Despite the valiant efforts of Redditor music aficionados to ..read more

Album Review: “A Dream Is All We Know” by The Lemon Twigs Bodhi Says, “Check It Out:” “Church Bells,” “If You and I Are Not Wise,” “How Can I Love Her More?” and “Rock On (Over and Over)” Helmed by Hicksville, Long Island brothers Michael and Brian D’Addario, The Lemon Twigs pull saccharine 60s pop melodies off the shelf, dust them off, charge them with potent 70s jukebox chords and release their somehow nostalgic yet fresh rock upon the masses. In layman’s terms, Power Pop. With four albums under their belt, the band introduced a fifth into their canon in May of 2024, the jangly and jubilant ..read more

Only a day ago, a friend texted me, “Have you ever listened to Jenny Mae?”  I hadn’t. He sent me the link to her album “What’s Wrong With Me?” via youtube, and I listened to the whole thing through, once, twice and then a third time. It was strange, soft, sweet and deeply Ohio-ian, somewhat like a mix between the artists Broadcast and Kimya Dawson and Vashti Bunyan. Each of the songs felt deeply personal, deeply intimate, as if you were sitting on the bedroom floor of a close childhood pal listening to them play for you.  Jenny Mae’s “What’s Wrong With Me?” The compilation album of ..read more
