Moose on the Loose! MJ Lenderman and The Wind, 10/29/24

Welcome, all, to the first edition of “Moose on the Loose!,” a brand new concert review and recap series exclusive to U92 the Moose. In this series, we’ll be delving into the world of shows in and around Morgantown that our staff attends, from local acts in basement shows to big-time bands up in neighboring areas like Wheeling and Pittsburgh. 

Our first entry to this series is the ever-wonderful MJ Lenderman and The Wind, the alt-country act from Asheville, NC playing live from Thunderbird Music Hall in Pittsburgh, PA on the night of October 29th. When Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks Tour was announced in July, it might have been the fastest purchase I have ever made. Not only was this my first opportunity to see him live since becoming a fan, but it was also Lenderman’s first show in Pittsburgh. That’s a recipe for a damn good time, and a damn good time it was.

Is JoJo Siwa’s Debut EP Guilty Pleasure as Bad as The Internet Is Telling You?

Joelle Joanie Siwa of Dance Moms and Nickelodeon brand deal fame wanted 2024 to know that she’s a bad girl now. She ditched the “Boomerang,” JoJo-bow persona, songs under which, for the sake of parents, are THANKFULLY now distinguished on streaming services as “JoJo Siwa (Kids),” for a PG-13 redefinition of her career. Once you see her, it’s easy to see how. She debuted her new look on the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet, with her face dripped in black paint and body suit covered in glitter. It looks a little bit like she rolled around in the Nickelodeon slime that made her so famous, but not before slipping in some black dye.

I was wondering how out of all of the esteemed releases of 2024, Siwa’s debut EP Guilty Pleasure did not find its way into the U92 rotation. Was JoJo’s jarring persona actually masking a blossoming career of the next musical icon? As a “glass half full” person, I decided to take a listen to the 12-minute, 5-track EP while disregarding all that the crowd has told me to think about JoJo Siwa.

The New Sound or Just the Same Old Noise?

Has the monotony of modern music got you down? Are you mad that Jim Morrison never read his poetry during any of The Doors Songs? Do you wish you could have no idea what you’re listening to but still enjoy it nonetheless? Then The New Sound, the first solo album from Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep since the dissolution of the band, might be the album you are looking for. This album may have just hit listeners’ ears two weeks ago, October 4th more specifically, but it didn’t take that long for it to enter my own personal rotation.  

From the opening track “Blues”, the album is swift in showing off its mix progressive, jazz, and Latin rock. The hectic drums swiftly pull the listener into the chaos that they’re soon will be entering by listening to this album. Other standouts include songs like “Holy, Holy”, the first single from this album that was released all the way back in August, right when this album was announced. The guitar comes in swiftly like a bullet, piercing the minds of those who dared to put this track on. Even at six minutes in length, I would attest that this is arguably the most accessible track from this album, even if the spoken lyrics from Geordie Greep are a disorienting experience to acclimate to. However, where you find the most complex track is where you’ll also find the best. I am referring to “The Magician”, a twelve-minute behemoth of an auditory experience. In that time span, the listener gets whisked between triumphant, almost orchestral, sound and contemplative lyrics, crying out to the skies about what is left and where we all end up. A song of the year contender in its own right, what is achieved in only twelve minutes is nothing short of mind boggling.
