Top8 - 06/22/25

June 23, 2025 - 01:37 AM Welcome back to Top8. It's still Pride and on behalf of The Alphabet, I am declaring you all honorary queers. See me for your free iced coffee (offer only valid in June and if I am feeling like it). Who are your favorite queer artists? Let us know at wtsq.org/contact (Also, I spent too long on the first review so I kinda had to rush through the rest. I'm not sorry.) Andrew Adkins - Be Still I won't pretend to be objective here. If you want objective, go find someone else's music blog. Andrew Adkins is my best friend. I love him and I love these songs. I was present for the creation of at least a little bit of every single one of these songs. I was also present for the slightly......

Top8 - 06/09/25

June 09, 2025 - 12:50 AM Welcome back to Top8. I want to wish all of our queer friends a very happy Pride. I have been out as at least one letter in LGBTQ for as long as I have been here, and I have always felt loved and seen and welcome at the radio station. I am so proud that, over the years, we have been one of many voices in Charleston that supports the LGBTQ community. Just in case some of the people in the back didn't quite catch it, I'll say it again. WTSQ stands with queer folk here in Charleston and everywhere. And I want to say this part even more clearly – if you're a trans or nonbinary kid, you're seen, you're valid, and you're loved. If you got no one else on your side, you've got me. My......

Charlie West Music Fest Launches Saturday

May 30, 2025 - 11:26 AM By Bill Lynch At its heart, Saturday’s inaugural Charlie West Music Fest on the University of Charleston’s lawn is a fundraiser. All shows with a ticket price, of course, are, by nature, fundraisers, but this one isn’t to turn a profit. At least, the Charlie West Music Fest isn’t meant to turn a profit for Fund for the Arts, but for the arts groups it supports. Sarah Wright, the arts organization’s executive director said, “Our sole focus is to raise money for our 11 member arts groups, and you know, there are challenges with today’s landscape.” Money is tight for the arts. It’s a little worse now since the federal government......

Top8 - 05/26/25

May 25, 2025 - 03:55 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 - 09:05 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......
