Educational, Inspirational, and Relatable | The Montgomery County Museum's Newest Exhibit

written by Amir Lahoud on

WUVT was graciously invited to attend the newest exhibit at the Montgomery Museum of Art & History, Above: A History of Montgomery County Aviation, where we were greeted with a plethora of paintings and historical documents outlining the significance and development of aviation in not only Montgomery County but also the greater Virginia area. Exhibits like these hold great educational value to the local community and do an excellent job preserving the history of the region. Best said by Casey Jenkins, Executive Director of the museum, exhibits like these are "educational, inspirational, and relatable from everyone [aged] zero to ninety-nine."

Is that. . . New Music I smell! I hope you're as excited as I am for our new music selection this week. See you next time! Some Kind of Heaven Album Cover

Knitting - Some Kind of Heaven

Label: Mint
Genre: Indie / Slacker Rock
Reviewed by: Edison Lee
For Fans Of: Sonic Youth, Ride, Feeble Little Horse, Sebadoh, Pixies, Pavement
Knitting’s sophomore album blends dreamy indie rock atmospheres with noisy slacker rock guitar work to create a pleasant, albeit monotonous, album. Nothing is revolutionary about any of these songs, but much like other noisy pieces of indie rock tinged with dream-pop/shoegaze elements, they get the job done. The guitars are generally thin and bouncy, contrasted with thick and noisy effects. This, along with dreamy vocals, makes for a slightly shoegaze feel reminiscent of bands like Ride, Lush, and Slowdive, but the songs aren't fuzzy/dreamy enough to be considered shoegaze or dream pop. I would compare them to more traditional indie rock acts like Pavement and Pixies. The songs are solid and dynamic, but they tend to bleed into one another. While it's nothing groundbreaking, there's enough fun indie rock antics and hazy guitar noise to keep it interesting throughout its half-hour runtime.
