Grimes (also known as Claire Boucher) is a Canadian musician, and her latest record is a drive through electro-stoner pop heaven.
Last week at Sundance Cinemas in Madison I witnessed a Norwegian teenage girl engage in a seagull-killing rampage with a heavy machine gun, a neurotic time machine inventor succumb to his OCD and spend a year trying to make one rather unremarkable day in his life perfect, two Irish estranged boyhood best friends reunite after 25 years, a young German couple become embroiled in a secret child-abduction ring after adopting a young Indian boy in Kolkata and a young Irish lad brazenly defy the Catholic church in the name of his one true love-football.
I owe the powers that be a great big thank you for my broken iPod screen. Normally, this would be the bane of my existence, forcing me to turn on the clicker so that I can discern where I am in my list of artists. But lately it has been better at figuring out the perfect tunes for whatever mood I might be in than I am.
After a resonating experience in an opening slot for Bassnectar in 2010, Emancipator—real name Doug Appling—will return to Madison to headline a night at the Majestic Theater this Thursday, Feb. 16.
The past few weekends haven't gone as planned for the Wisconsin men's hockey team (7-13-2 WCHA, 12-14-2 overall). The Badgers have dropped four straight games and as a result, find themselves well outside their goal of securing home ice advantage for the WCHA playoffs.
Rooney Mara's turn as Swedish author Stieg Larsson's pierced, tattoo-clad, anti-social Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's American film adaptation of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" this past December proved to be thoroughly enthralling-enough even to land her a nomination for Best Actress at the 2012 Academy Awards later this month. While Swedish actress Noomi Rapace got the first crack at the character in the Danish film adaptations of Larsson's Millennium trilogy, Mara managed to do the character better justice in her portrayal by imbuing the ass-kicking, name-taking Salander with the undertone of vulnerability that was missing from Rapace's pure bad ass. Although this thread of humanity that Mara brings to the role certainly complicates the character of Lisbeth Salander, there is no doubt that she qualifies as the archetypal anti-hero, a trope that is becoming more and more common in our culture.
With the regular season coming to a close, the Wisconsin women's hockey team (20-2-2 WCHA, 26-2-2 overall) knows its weekend series against St. Cloud State 4-20-0, 5-23-2) will be the last time it has a guaranteed a road game. After this weekend, if the Badgers are to play away from home they will need to earn their tickets to Duluth, Minn., for two weekends: the WCHA Final Face-Off and the NCAA Frozen Four.
Local band The Living Statues are ready to bring a rocking performance to The Frequency on Feb. 9.
Local rocker Tommy Shears took some time out of his T.S. Eliot reading to tell me about his latest project, The Living Statues, which has been a band years in the making. They are playing this Thursday, Feb. 9, at the Frequency with other local boys Baristacide and Fight Nice of Chicago.
There has been a recent uptick in the number of foreign bands I listen to. Not because I'm anti-American music-I've got plenty of that too-but because I've found or been introduced to some amazing foreign musicians that I think deserve a little love.

Blockbuster, Hollywood Videos, and other such brick-and-mortar video rental providers have been closing up shop in droves across the country over the past few years, simply out-competed by newer, more convenient entertainment providers like Netflix and Redbox. But the transition from these fading entertainment elites to the new generation has gone anything but smoothly thanks to meddling movie studios.

Taking a nip of Jack Daniel's you feel the warmth spread down your throat and slowly seep across your chest. A slight grin flexes in your cheek muscles and maybe a gentle sigh keeps it company.
The SOPA and PIPA controversies have been on every music-lover's mind, and it was a relief to many when the legislation was dropped. However, it does leave us with questions that will inevitably effect us in the future, as the issues that SOPA and PIPA attempted to address are far from being byone woes.
Patton Oswalt (left) and Charlize Theron (right) missed out on anticipated recognition for their performances in “Young Adult” in 2012’s Academy Awards nominations.
By mid afternoon on the day of Oscar nomination announcements last week, my Facebook wall was already being covered with bitter and exasperated commentary on the Academy's nominee choices for the 2012 Academy Awards. One commenter summed up his displeasure with the concise statement, "This was a terrible year in film."
As the 2011-'12 college hockey season prepares for its stretch, the postseason pictures across the country are beginning to take shape.
Kids are weird. They look relatively normal and adorable until they suddenly decide to be Simba and bite everyone they see. You never know what to expect.
