In today’s popular entertainment, the urge to create something more transformative from the rest, that transcends time and history, has become clear. It is perhaps hard for many of us find these higher ideas in today‰’s hype-ridden radio and blogosphere.åÊåÊHow do we develop a critical view on the things we are listening to today?åÊåÊAre we cutting through the noise and liking things for their true value? If so, what is it that we find valuable in the things we heard and see today?åÊåÊThese will be questions that I hope to explore with you on my weekly column, Shazam Wildcat.

In this biweekly column I hope to give you an insight on the music I’m currently listening to, music shows I constantly attend around the city and nation, analysis on upcoming albums, interviews, and music recommendations.åÊRegardless of the different styles and genres I will explore on Shazam Wilcat, I would like to show you how many of these artists are sending a message beyond an entertainment and cultural context, translate it into bigger themes, and reflect on the messages they are trying to convey.

I hope we develop a relationship over the course of this semester, so voice your opinion and feedback on the comment section of this website, as well through other social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. åÊThat’s all for now. Stay tune to my bi-weekly show with Disco Dianna, Mondays from 8-10pm ( D’N‘A ) and enjoy the surprises that’ll be bringing to the studios. Get to me!
