Tonight on Torch and Twang, we and DJ Sparrow had a good ole time. We started by talking about how nice it is to come by the studio without worrying about a full day of classes. After that we shared what we got up to over our fall breaks while listening to some alt-rock takes on folk tunes and new albums brought in from DJ Sparrow’s shopping trip back home. Quickly grabbing some snacks, we continued with some classics from artists like Patsy Cline and the Highwaymen. As we closed things out, we talked about the great tunes and stories of Leonard Cohen before ending things off with a bit of Adrienne Lenker and a harmonica tune familiar to those who watched an old Japanese sci-fi show. Our playlist is attached above, see you next week.

About the Contributors
Dante Chinni-Ianzito, Co-Host of The Progressive Torch & Twang
Outside of his show here at Impact, Dante (he/him) stays very busy around campus. He’s a double major in International Relations and Comparative Cultures and Politics with two minors as well. Beyond that, he spends plenty of time doing nerd stuff like model UN and Dungeons and Dragons. With all that going on, he enjoys spending some time relaxing and listening to a bit of old time folk and country when we can. At the moment, his favorite song lyrics are “Down the sand forever/only music is forever” but ask him in a few days again in a few days and he’ll probably have a different answer for you.
