Indulge in the seven deadly synths.
Listen to the jammiest of the jamz.
Jam out to young artists such as The Bots and Ella Eyre, enjoy the latest songs from Tinashe and iceage, then relish some folk from the likes of First Aid Kit and The Lowest Pair.
Listen to this week's jamz. With a z.
Celebrate grrrl power and Hispanic Heritage Month in one playlist.
Listen to this week's playlist. Do it. We said so.
This week's playlist begins in D.C. in 1979 with the punk group Bad Brains and ends in a scene from Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise. In between, we traverse this week's biggest new hits from Tweedy and Mr Twin Sister, celebrate the punk idol Patti Smith, as well as sigh over James Blakes' cover of the Joni Mitchell classic "A Case Of You." Hope this playlist helps you first rock out, then settle down with that special someone.
This week's playlist is as wide-ranging as our tastes. Some of us are listening to the new Ariana Grande album; others among us are eagerly awaiting Vieux Farka Touré's performance on campus this weekend. There are new releases that we can't get out of our head, like "Raw" from Wara from the NBHD, and oldies that always find their ways back onto our iPods, like Deerhunter's "Revival." We know our readers' tastes are as diverse as ours, so we hope you enjoy listening to this playlist as much as we enjoyed making it.
Hopscotch Music Festival in downtown Raleigh is this weekend and Recess is getting antsy! The festival promises to be good, with artists ranging from the sensational St. Vincent to hip-hop legends De La Soul. This playlist features some of our songs from the artists we are most excited to see at this year's festival. Listen and get excited for Hopscotch.
A new school year is a new beginning. From a new dorm room, to new classes, to what is slowly beginning to feel like a new campus. This playlist is dedicated to beginnings in all their awkward, fumbling glory. It's dedicated to fresh starts and the endings we leave behind. We hope it helps you begin the year off well just as it helps us begin this new chapter of Recess.
Watching Mad Men in light of some of the most hysterical critical hype of television history began as a frustrating, disorienting experience for me. This is part of its power.
As much of a drag as 2011 turned out to be, it will at least have the courtesy of leaving us with some good records.

P.O.S. can't easily be placed in a genre-his music ranges from hip-hop to punk to straight-out rock and roll. Despite the lack of classification, his albums have sold incredibly well since he was discovered by indie hip-hop mainstay Slug (of Atmosphere). P.O.S. is currently embarking on a tour to support his most recent album, Audition (Rhymesayers Entertainment, 1/31). Music Editor Matt Dearborn talked with P.O.S. about punk, the mainstream and being nationally distributed in preparation for the self-proclaimed hip-hop MC's show at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Feb. 8.
Revenge planned in song - A pissed-off narrator throws her philandering boyfriend into the state penintentiary on roots rock troubadour Kathleen Edwards’ “In State” from her new LP Back To Me. A prequel to her hit single “Six O’Clock News,” where a pregnant woman lamented the untimely demise of her fugitive lover, this song finds Edwards warbling her usual grit with added ferociousness, signaling yet another step for women’s lib—this time in perfect melody and realistic lyrical poetry.
