Top8 - 05/26/25

May 25, 2025 - 01:55 PM Welcome back to Top8. I hope everyone has had a good holiday weekend and that none of you were killed by a speeding bike. There have been some really lovely days in the last fortnight. Still, the horrors, as they say, persist. But we have each other. And we have music. Before I get into that, I am thinking a lot about hypernormalisation. I will just drop a paragraph from the wiki about it here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever,......

Top8 - 05/12/25

May 12, 2025 - 07:05 PM Welcome back to Top8, I hope everyone has had a good Mother's Day Weekend. I also hope that if holidays like this are weird for you, like they are for a lot of people, that you found some peace. This is going to be short(ish) and sweet this week because I have poorly managed my time this weekend. Send all your excuses to wtsq.org/contact Midwife - Signs Last time we talked about Midwife was back in September when she did this sick cover of Autoluminescent by Rowland S. Howard. "Signs" is an unreleased B-side. I should probably save precious Top8 real estate for EPs and albums. However, I love "Signs" and I love Midwife. This is extremely minimalist, reverby shoegaze. There's a real......

Songwriter Maya de Vitry Still Loves To Jam

May 09, 2025 - 07:37 AM Maya de Vitry has a great relationship with her mom. The singer/songwriter who performs Mother’s Day (Sunday) on Mountain Stage at the Culture Center theater, said, “I’m lucky that she’s still here.” De Vitry called her mother a hero and an undeniable influence. “I’m the oldest of four kids,” she said. “She was, like, such a force growing up. She was a hands-on parent with taking us to music lessons and all of that. She was like the shuttle bus driver.” Parents do that kind of monotonous chore every day, but de Vitry’s mom filled the drive time with music, but she wasn’t much of a radio listener. “She loved......

Top8 - 04/28/25

April 27, 2025 - 07:56 PM Welcome back to Top8 where we talk about music because talking about how doomed we are is kind of killing the vibe, tbh. Luckily there is a ton of great music we will get into this week. I have had a surprisingly good week. I've always said that the best thing about Charleston is that you're allowed to leave. If you haven't done so in a while, I highly recommend it. I headed out to Huntington and hit the museum. There's a printmaking exhibition and I got to see a ton of amazing pieces. My friend and I were also able to eat and play games at The Peddler and go to a bookstore. Back when I had a car, I would go to Huntington at least once a month. I miss it.

Top8 - 04/14/2025

April 14, 2025 - 08:48 PM Welcome back to Top8. Before we talk about anything else, I want to throw a giant thank you out to everyone who contributed during WTSQ's 2025 Fund Drive. $30K and change goes a long way toward keeping the station on the air. It's also one of our most successful drives so far. Thanks also to all the cool people who worked so hard to make this work – our pals at Kinship for the really cool shirt designs, everyone who contributed perks and gift cards, and our truly wonderful family of DJs. Ten years of WTSQ. I'll be honest, I never thought it would happen. I can't say what exactly I thought would go wrong, but I never thought it would keep going so right. You all know this is......
