Train Keeps Rollin'
Rollingstone.com - In the world according to AC/DC, sex, money, politics and other trappings of adulthood are a sick joke — but rock is sacred. No one this side of Chuck Berry has written so many great rock & roll songs about rock & roll, and no band short of the Ramones has so militantly refused to reach beyond the basics of the form. AC/DC offer a vision of the Stones if Keith had won every argument: no concept albums, no keyboards, no disco, no ballads, no gospel choirs. And Black Ice is their best argument in years — maybe decades — that evolution is for suckers.
These guys can still rock, and you have to hand it to 'em for sticking with there guns here. This song does exactly what any AC/DC song worth it's salt should- makes me want to play a pick-up sports game, or at least get fired up watching a professional one. The Aussies stuck with their formula of success on this record, and it shows. Tune in to the show tomorrow night for a WCUA debut of AC/DC's "Black Ice".
Welcome Back
It's been a long hiatus since our last update, but have no fear because WCUA is back in full swing. The S&M show with Shea and I has been moved from our Friday time slot to Thursday nights, 6-8 PM. A lot's changed around the station, as we have really fleshed out our programming schedule (found at WCUA.CUA.EDU). Check back to the site, as we are back and will keep you posted on music news, Catholic University news and WCUA updates.
