Tonight, on the first Torch and Twang Show of the Year DJ Sparrow and I took a little time to show off our recently acquired CDs and vinyls from a crate digging adventure in Detroit. After starting things off with a bit of Bob Dylan and Kurt Vile, we took some time to appreciate a little bit of Irish Folk music with the Waterboys, the Pouges, the Dubliners, and a band straight from the streets of Dublin, Bowsie. After that, we discussed our favorite new TV shows and played a few songs from them like Landslide and Working For The Man. As we moved later on into the night, we pulled out an old reader’s digest collection of country songs to listen to a few classics but were tragically cut short by losing a battle to our record player. To end off the night we listened to I’ll Be Lucky Someday by Glen Campbell. Our playlist is attached here, see you ’round the campfire next time cowpoke.

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.
