Five years ago she might have had a Monday morning to herself. Maybe she could pick up some groceries, balance her checkbook or set up a lunch trading gossip with a classmate. But nowadays, Ellen Campesinos! can't even make a trip to the post office without her phone ringing.
If you ask any kid what the best exotic pet to have is, they would probably answer with something like a snake or a lizard. These kids would be on the right path, but according to Dreamworks' new film, ""How to Train Your Dragon,"" when it comes to reptilian pets, the bigger the better.
During the past few episodes of ""What's in the Fridge"" embarked on a culinary journey across sunny, southern Italy and windswept, western France, so I decided to bring my recipes for this week a little closer to home. Combining Wisconsin's three favorite food groups —beef, cheese and beer—I crafted a rather elegant sandwich.
The Downtown Coordinating Committee met Thursday to discuss new business in the greater Madison area, as well as new downtown goals for 2010.
There's an old Groucho Marx joke about expectations. ""I've had a perfectly wonderful evening,"" Marx said, raising his brow. ""But this wasn't it."" At first glance, we had every hope in the world for New Glarus' Moon Man No Coast Pale Ale. The name is just weird enough to create curiosity. It even pulls at our heartstrings by making a beer that we as Midwesterners can identify with, sandwiched between New Glarus' stronger seasonal offerings. Unfortunately for New Glarus, Moon Man never finds its own complex identity.
Pasteurization is not just a nightmare for cheese gourmets. It is a nuisance for anyone who sees selling and consuming raw milk as their natural right.
Graffiti. Is it art or vandalism? The difference of opinion can be as close as two coats of paint, literally.
O'So Brewing Company's Night Train is incredibly candid. The minimalist label outlines the tastes to come, guiding your palate with mainstay descriptors like ""complex"" and ""bold"" as well as more esoteric ones like ""chewy"" and ""judicious."" What kind of experience do you get from Night Train? A pleasant surprise, you get more than what's advertised.
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker's recent pledge to create 250,000 new jobs if elected governor is drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle.
These days, few people would admit that they can't stand movies. Cinema continues to offer the most seductive blend of the spectacular and the contemplative. Almost any film can be approached as a dazzling distraction or as material for intellectual heavy lifting; those familiar with the Freudian-flavored analyses of the Slovenian philosopher/psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek or the writings of Madison's own David Bordwell know that no movie is out of bounds for theoretical scrutiny. The pluralistic appeal of cinema is especially curious when one considers how unpopular literature is today as a leisurely pursuit. Movies remain attractive to both the attention-deficit and attention-surplus crowds. However, this isn't to suggest that film audiences of the world stand united.
Late last week, scientists at CERN announced they would be turning the Large Hadron Collider back on. The world's largest physics experiment broke down shortly after its first test runs in 2008 and has only been tested once since then. Unfortunately, the LHC will operate at half power for the next two years before being turned off yet again for another year's worth of repairs.
Through all the genre-saturation hullabaloo generated by the Internet, there are two veins of sound most poised to identify themselves as the namesake of the current decade-plus in music history. Animal Collective's digitalized experimentation has the most followers in both bands and fans, and its very literal technology-bound soundscape makes it an easy candidate for the title; but bands like TV on the Radio make a bold statement for a different form of otherworldly inventiveness, one not tied to the blips and bloops we associate with our own technological progress. And it's in this second vein that Yeasayer find themselves on their latest, Odd Blood.
Since the infamous ""wardrobe malfunction"" in 2004, there has been a significant shift in the direction of Super Bowl halftime performances. The trend is obvious in the six years since: Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, and now the Who. Take your choice of adjectives: careful, cautious, conservative, symbolic.
As of last evening, it's become evident that even superheroes are not immune from one of humanity's most menacing qualities: envy. In a strikingly bold move, Robin, arguably the nation's most popular sidekick, defected from his daily duties of shining Batman's utility belt and vacuuming the batcave in an attempt to persuade the nation's most neglected superheroes to unionize. A somber Batman, wiping tears aside with his cape, addressed the nation early this morning as the story broke.
Josephine Foster's archaic approach to music is thoroughly indicative of her background. She is an aspiring opera singer turned classically trained songwriter who can play guitar, piano, harp and ukulele. Her tastes lend her a sound predating pop music as we know it, making her an old-school traditionalist. Think of a Joanna Newsom type of adoration for antiquity, only not so wrapped up in individual vision and ambition.
Another decade of music has come and gone. Every one—let's say from the 1950s on—embodies shifts in cultural and technological influences allowing unique artists and stories to develop in pop music. And as much as change is resented in almost all forms, it is inevitable. However, for avid music listeners, it becomes important to separate juvenile fascinations over greatness from truly relatable artists who are relevant to your life in ways deeper than their trendiness and your ability to talk about a band everyone can relate to.
The UW System Board of Regents met Thursday in Memorial Union to discuss a recent UW System study revealing the rate of binge drinking among UW students decreased from 2007 to 2009.
The race for the fifth district of the Dane County Board of Supervisors is beginning to take shape as two Madison students officially announced their candidacy Tuesday night.
""I am so / I am so / Out of tune,"" Jeff Tweedy sang at a solo acoustic set he performed as a rogue while recording Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, simultaneously turning it into a lamentation of personal, professional uncertainty. Overall, its directness is so mysterious, ambiguous and genuine it discomforts and reassures at the same time. Despairingly crying out in self-awareness, Tweedy emotes a candidness that only a Ditch Trilogy-era Neil Young would be bold enough to pull off, calmly finishing the stanza, ""With you.""
