During this particularly scary Torch & Twang, me and DJ Sparrow started things off with a slew of spooky sound effects and some fun folk-rock tunes. After playing a few new songs we added to the system we got into talking about our halloween plans and recapping our experiences at MSU’s football game last weekend. However, as the night grew darker, we switched to a more eerie tone as we played some great halloween themed songs. Indeed, the last two hours of our show were spent listening to songs like You’re Dead by Norma Tanega and I Cast A Lonesome Shadow by Hank Thompson. But as we got closer to midnight we decided to head out before the witching hour caught up with us and ended things off with the classic St. James Infirmary by Cab Calloway. Our playlist is attached here, and we’ll catch you around the fire next time.

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.
