Ever since their first jam session, electronica band Conspirator has been all about adapting. On Sept. 24, they will bring their latest style and lineup to the Majestic Theater.
After a five-year hiatus, a major personnel change and some classical training, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are back with their 10th studio album, I'm With You. Though it has a much different flavor than previous Chili Peppers efforts, it hits all the right notes, again cementing their place as one of the greatest bands of the last few decades. That being said, old fans shouldn't go into their first listen expecting to hear the same hard nosed funk and in your face riffs they heard on previous albums. The Chili Peppers are a band impossible to place neatly in one genre. No two albums have ever sounded the same and I'm With You is no exception. It shows a tamer but technically proficient side of the band, yet another step in their constant musical evolution.
Many bands' stories start in college dorm rooms or quads, the places where the band members first met. Chicago and Boston natives Ezra Furman and the Harpoons' story, however, literally starts in their dorm rooms, where the band not only met, but also recorded its first full-length album. While lead singer Ezra Furman does admit the cramped room presented certain challenges and the group was harangued about constant noise complaints, being college students made the setup necessary. Despite the confinement, the album was released successfully.
Years from now, Wasting Light will be looked back on as one of the premier classic rock albums of the new millennium. The Foo Fighters seventh studio effort is chock-full of everything that defines a masterful, gritty rock CD: Pulsating power chords, arena-ready riffs, a pounding rhythm section and the first guitar and drum solos in recent Foo Fighters memory.
Throughout their newest release, Angles, the previously dormant Strokes seem to search for a clean, new sound, but much to the chagrin of the listeners, there is none to be found.
After months of anticipation, forgone release dates and petitions, Lupe Fiasco's third album, L.A.S.E.R.S. (Love Always Shines Every time Remember 2 Smile), is finally here. With all the anticipation and buzz the album created before its release, it's hard to imagine the tracks could actually live up to the hype. Yet Fiasco once again proves his critics wrong with an album that combines the lyricism of KRS-One or Public Enemy with the beats and hooks of Bruno Mars or Pharrell. Fiasco is a pioneer in this sense, constructing an album chock full of conscious lyrics, wrapped inside a pretty package and perfectly set to blaze through the charts.
The Wisconsin men's soccer team returns home Sunday after a road-heavy portion of its schedule, which saw the Badgers play six of seven games away from Madison. Wisconsin looks to end a three-game losing streak in which it has been outscored 7-0.
Green is the color of Ireland, environmentalism and Islam. If new legislation passes, it will also be the color of certain sex criminals in Wisconsin—or at least their license plates.
Why is it that it takes a brutal death for some bands or musicians to reach their pinnacle of commercial popularity? Even though the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia and Biggie Smalls did their best stuff while living (obviously), why was their deity status solidified only when they kicked the bucket? Although the Exploding Hearts were nowhere near and probably never will be along the lines of those names, they too gained their prominence in the power-pop genre after the tragic overturn of their van during their 2003 tour supporting their first and final release Guitar Romantic. Three of the four band members were killed; the fourth (guitarist Jerry Six) received minor injuries and has since then found a home with a similarly leather clad quartet called Nice Boys.

Recent discussion has centered on the National Socialist Movement's rally outside the Wisconsin Capitol Aug. 26. According to its website, the NSM is a neo-Nazi Party that works with ""many like-minded white nationalist groups."" They are extreme isolationists who believe that ""[o]nly those of pure White blood ... may be members of the nation ... Accordingly, no Jew or homosexual may be a member of the nation."" Many in the public wondered, ""What are the Nazis doing in Madison, arguably the most tolerant and liberal city in the Midwest?""
