Some Techincal Difficulties...Temporarily Solved
Hey folks,
We’re experiencing some issues with the actual wqaq.com at the moment. It seems our servers decided they’re not getting proper health benefits and went on strike. While our crack negotiating team deals with this problem, enjoy the WQAQ Tumblr, which www.wqaq.com will temporarily redirect to! We’ll be back on track shortly (unless they start demanding an increase in...

New Russian Circles track "Mladec" →
I just found out this morning that instrumental prog (sorta?)/metal outfit Russian Circles has a new album coming out October 25th titled Empros. I saw this band open up for Boris a year or two back and they were just loud and amazing. The best part about seeing this band was their bassist, Brian Cook (former member of These Arms Are Snakes). His tones gave their songs a personality that made...

Albums of the Summer '11
-Billy Scully, Business
“A Good Feelin’ to Know” by Poco
This album must be the happiest accident of my life. I was sifting through my dad’s old records and saw this; before I could disregard it, a friend told me I needed to have Poco in my collection. Within the first two measures of the album, I knew that this was some of the best music I’d never heard...
Albums of the Summer 2011
This summer was pretty uneventful, but music wise I was very happy. Here are MY top 5 albums of my summer
5. Harvey Milk : “Life…The Best Game In Town
I worked in a freezer warehouse most of the summer repacking shrimp. As you can imagine, it was as terrible as it sounds. This album really got me through many of those work days. Easily their best album (though most of the...

3. Laura Stevenson & The Cans - Sit, Resist
I’ve been a fan of The Cans for a while now, having absolutely adored their informal debut A Record and the subsequent seven-inches released, and as such had some pretty lofty expectations for what they were calling the band’s proper debut. And, unsurprsingly, it blew me the hell away. Stevenson has the most arresting voice, and this...
Albums Of The Summer 2011
This summer was probably one of the best summers I have had in a while. I went to Bombfest, Bonnaroo, and the Newport Folk Festival and they were all great!! Not only did I go to all three of those it was the first time I had ever been to a music festival. So with that said I enjoy all types of music and listened to a lot of albums this summer. My favorite types of music would probably have to be...

Titus Andronicus- The Monitor
I first heard Titus towards the end of my sophomore year when I and (former Music Manager) Fred Hoxsie and (now General Manager) Kyle Talbot Murphy saw them headline the small room above Toads. It was May of 2010 and The Monitor, their sophomore effort had just been released a few months prior. I was blown away by the amount of energy Titus brought to the stage, which...
Albums of the Summer: 2011
None of my records for the summer of 2011 are from 2011. Although Black Up, Dye It Blonde, James Blake, David Comes To Life and W H O K I L L were all played heavily, they really didn’t define a summer that saw my twenty-first birthday, unemployment and an amazing relationship. This past summer needed a definition through classics revisited.
