The Social Reckoning - Film Review
But maybe this reveals a problem here: sure Reckoning doesn't really match up to Network, but why should it? This isn't so much a sequel as it is just another film by the same writer about a similar topic.

Oakland County Seeking Designs for New Flag
You might be asking yourself: "Oakland County has a flag?" Yes! and that's exactly the problem: no one knows (or frankly cares) about it. And so the flag must be redesigned and made into something which represents Oakland County, both its history and its future.

October 2026 AOTM: Townes Van Zandt
For someone who doesn't usually associate with the country genre too much, Townes Van Zandt is like a cure to the soulless drivel and self-important show boding that the genre is permeated by in the present day.

How Floating Points Modernizes the Myth of Pandora for Mere Mortals
Mere Mortals uses the oscillation between silence and chaos as an incredibly powerful tool to evoke the ideas of Pandora's unleashed entropy. Like an auditory representation of all the chaos and evil stored in Pandora's pithos, "Movement 3" uses dissonant strings and polyrhythmic beats to unnerve and offput the listener.

Boards of Canada's Inferno as an Adaptation of Dante
This grants the album a very cinematic and dramatic progression, not dissimilar from Dante's own journey from the dark, mysterious woods where he emerged in Canto I.

WXOU's Albums of the Year (So Far)
We're just about through the summer and I think it's high time we report in on some of the records that have most resonated with us here at WXOU so far this year.


September 2026 AOTM: The New Abnormal by The Strokes
The New Abnormal is not just a great selection of songs with a variety of pop hooks, raw vocals, and spacey electronics. The album feels like a reunion, like a group of friends getting over their grievances and petty disagreements to recognize their care for one another.

August 2026 AOTM: Perdition City by Ulver
Perdition City is perhaps the biggest left-field homerun I've come across in music. A band so successful at one kind of music completely abandoning their sound for something a whole universe away stylistically.
