YouSpeak: What Are You Listening To?

And besides what you’re listening to, we’re curious about where you go to find music. Do you still read Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, or do you get all your tunes through social media? Are you a fan of Pandora, iTunes, YouTube? Or have you bucked the digital trend altogether and gone back to vinyl?

Described by singer Andrew Galante as “a ’50s R&B meets punk†band, the Alrighters feature saxophonist [...]Kim Kendicken, upright bassist Zeke Wheeler, and drummer Matt Schlaikjer.
When the lights go down and the sun rises, Galante, a senior production assistant at BU’s Creative Services, reverts from bombastic, dancing front man to a more subdued person working on bulletins in a cubicle. “It’s a great combo for me,†he says. “I can have a hobby and a job at the same time.â€
