Like the terms and services agreement on the iTunes Store, a disclaimer: I’ve been reporting on the Minnesota-based indie pop band Hippo Campus for over a year-and-a-half. Call me mundane and monotonous, but repeated coverage and concerts provides the chance to see how the group has changed since the release of their first two EPs in 2015.

Among a stack of “Now That’s What I Call Music!” CD cases, a forgotten copy of Missy Elliot’s Under Construction and a memorable homemade mixtape from your angsty middle school days, there could be a perfect home for the newly-released Hamilton Mixtape. The 23-song mixtape reimagines the music from “Hamilton: An American Musical” through covers, remixes and brand new songs from artists like Usher to “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. The Hamilton Mixtape serves two goals: sharing Lin-Manuel Miranda’s inspiration for the music behind the show and speaking to issues America has continued to struggle with since founding father Alexander Hamilton’s era.

Each year, dozens of websites and companies across the world aim to rank universities through a slew of categories, from top 10 party schools to best liberal arts colleges. Most of these Buzzfeed-style listicles are nothing more than clickbait. Last week, however, UW-Madison discovered one less thing to be thankful for this holiday season: The university dropped from its spot as a top-five research institution for the first time in 45 years.

Stacks of old photo albums at my Wisconsin born-and-raised grandma’s house are proof of the importance my family places on Badger football. Dozens of pictures show multiple generations of my family tailgating all around campus, back to the 1960s.

My roommates will be the first to tell you I’m not a morning person. I walk, or rather stumble, into the kitchen, grab a bowl of cereal and hibernate back in my room until the last possible minute before class, all the while hoping I don’t have to remember how to carry basic small talk until after I finish my painfully average cup of homebrewed coffee.

Dear freshmen, transfer students and classmates who never had the chance to explore Madison’s music scene: Welcome to Madison, a city known not only for its top-notch university, but also dozens of amazing concert venues.

I’ll be up-front: A former editor of mine recently nicknamed me “one-trick pony” for my repeated coverage of the indie rock band Hippo Campus. He had a point: Thursday marked the group’s third concert in Madison since September, when they performed as an opener for Benjamin Booker. Less than two months later Hippo Campus returned, headlining with songs off their latest EP South. By Thursday’s show at the Majestic Theatre, this one-trick pony was worried the Minnesota-based band wouldn’t be able to engage the audience without the nauseating feeling of deja-vu. However, Hippo Campus managed to electrify the crowd, with help from two opening acts.

There’s nothing quite like the smeary ink stamps and thick Sharpie Xs haphazardly tattooed onto the hands of myself and fellow under-21 concertgoers. With an occasional warning from a bouncer telling me not to wash my hands until the ink dries, I’m pretty used to the fine art tradition of hand stamping. Thankfully, I wasn’t the only one showing off some fresh ink Thursday night at High Noon Saloon, where the Minnesotan band Bad Bad Hats opened for Seattle natives Hey Marseilles.

I’ll be honest, while I originally wanted to attend UW-Madison for its academics, throughout my last year and a half on campus I’ve become increasingly interested with the surrounding city, specifically the dozens of concert venues just down State Street. From the Orpheum to the Majestic, branching out to the Frequency and bars like High Noon Saloon, there’s live music nearly every night in Madison. I’ve had the chance to see some of my favorite bands perform just around the corner from my apartment, making me grateful that the campus and city life are so intertwined. While I’ll probably always spend too much of my (non-existent) income on these concerts, I also think it’s important to spread some of my time to another form of art throughout the city: theater.

I’ve had the opportunity to see a wide and strange collection of items thrown onto stages during concerts throughout the years: bras, underwear and phone numbers scribbled on Post-it notes. But Thursday night’s Hippo Campus show at the Majestic Theatre added a new one to my record book: Halloween candy.
