With his quick wit and dry sense of humor, Michael Feldman has
drawn over 1.4 million loyal listeners to his radio show, \Whad'Ya
Know?"" Broadcasting from Madison, the show features a live band
and audience as well as weekly staples such as ""All The News That
Isn't"" and ""The Whad'Ya Know Quiz."" People who tune in can count
on some good laughs as Feldman ad-libs with cohost Jim Packard and

county of Wisconsin without stoplights.

As the Madison mayoral race heats up, the candidates are making
an effort to reach out to one of the largest voting blocs in the
city, the student population. Dave Cieslewicz, running on the
Progressive Dane ticket, appeared at Hillel Wednesday to chat with
students.

In his first public response to the recent protests against war
with Iraq--protests that took place both in America and abroad
--President George W. Bush was respectful, yet candid.

With weapons inspection reports and State of the Union addresses
in the news, The Daily Cardinal's opinion columnists sound
off.

Almost everyone knows two and only two things about Amsterdam;
One: It's legal to smoke pot (it's not really--but that's another
column) and, Two: prostitution is legal. Indeed, certain kinds of
prostitution are legal.

I've long bemoaned the fact that State Street boasts next to no
cheap, all-you-can eat lunch buffets. All right, I haven't ever
actually bemoaned it, but I probably should have. Especially since,
as far as I can remember, Pizza Hut (662 State St.) was the only
one for years. And given the entirely overt lack of care with which
said Pizza Hut Buffet was thrown together, eating at it was less a
dining experience and more an open challenge to the gods of
botulism (\Yes I will have an extra helping of the mysterious,
tepid, cheesy pasta dish. Just see if I won't!""). You hoped to
survive, and enjoyment barely blipped on the radar screen.

The story of singer/songwriter John Mayer's rise to mainstream
success can be summed up quite simply'boy meets guitar, boy falls
in love with guitar, lands a record deal and charms audiences,
teenage girls and Elton John. What's not so simple, however, is
Mayer's knack for putting clever and thoughtful lyrics to his
melody-rich songs. His live show is widely heralded for its
improvisation and covers-within-guitar solos. Planning to run
through the halls of the Alliant Energy Center this Friday night,
Mayer chatted with The Daily Cardinal.

While winter is not yet upon us, our quaint Midwestern party
town abounds with definite proof that the gloomy season is on its
way.

Besides Pavement, no band from the early '90s was more essential
than (Smog) in ushering in the lo-fi sound that dominated the era.
Essentially comprised of lead singer/guitarist Bill Callahan and a
rotating group of backing musicians, (Smog) recorded their first
three albums'including the classic Julius Caesar'in the confines of
their own home. As the '90s grew older, Callahan grew up,
collaborated with producer Jim O'Rourke and expanded his sound to a
more lush and full experience.

Shannon McNally's not-unique-but-still-charming mix of country
and adult contemporary pop first burst onto the scene last spring
with the release of her debut album Jukebox Sparrows. After
spending the summer opening for John Mellencamp, she has released a
new EP, Ran On Pure Lightning, with her guitar player Neal Casal.
Long on intimate atmosphere, the result is more bluegrassy than her
first effort. Her tour in support of the album starts Friday in
Madison at Luther's Blues, 1401 University Ave, and she took a
break from her rehearsals to chat with the Cardinal.

If the measure of a band's quality is the company that they
keep, Soulive must be superb. Perhaps best known for their
collaboration with Talib Kweli, this groove-oriented soul band has
also worked with diverse acts ranging from Black Thought of the
Roots to ??berjammer John Scofield. They pull into Luther's Blues,
1401 University Ave., Friday night at 10 p.m., and drummer Alan
Evans chatted with the Cardinal.

Perhaps best known to Madison as the eye-poppingly catchy opener
for Wilco's show at the Barrymore Theatre two years ago, Frisbie
returns to town tonight for a free show at the Rathskeller. Their
freshman release The Subversive Sounds of Love artfully coalesced
all of the band's pop influences, including the Beatles, Elvis
Costello and yes, Big Star, to stand as one of the best pure pop
releases of the last several years. Their affable frontman and
namesake Steve Frisbie chatted with the Cardinal about a number of
issues, not the least of which concerned a certain plastic flying
object.

Whether they like it or not, moe. is considered a jam band and
that means tie-dye, hash pipes and \long live Jerry Garcia."" But
when you release a triple-disc live album comprising of one show,
there isn't much else to call you. moe. brings their
hippie-friendly sound to the Orpheum Theatre Tuesday night. The
Daily Cardinal recently chatted with lead singer/guitarist Al
Schnier about the tour, songwriting and their thoughts and the
great state of Nebraska.

Not the least among the reasons why I should avoid hard liquor
and drink schnapps is the fact that I felt all right this past
Saturday morning. I didn't party especially the night before, but
it was a decent binge.

When I first saw him I found it odd that I have a doppleganger.
Not many people have the same color hair as I do, let alone wear it
in a similar fashion. Even as I thought it, I told myself that I
was misapplying the term \doppleganger"" to someone who merely
looked like me and not one who shares a similar experience and
outlook on life. I may be wrong.

Everyone who has ever watched VH1 knows Joe Levy's face.
Seemingly on every countdown, \Legends"" retrospective and ""Behind
the Music,"" the spiky-haired Levy is a sound-bite machine with
immense musical knowledge. No surprise, then, that he is the music
editor for Rolling Stone magazine. He recently discussed the sorry
state of modern music with the Cardinal via telephone.

Not nearly as obtuse as the William Burroughs novel they draw
their name from (\Naked Lunch""), Clem Snide crafts extraordinary
pop songs with a catchily approachable bent. Lyrically, lead singer
and songwriter Eef Barzelay contrasts straightforward sentiment
with clever phrase-turning and sardonic humor to form an
appealingly literate pop sensibility. Always growing, 2001's Ghost
of Fashion saw the band expand their sound into a diverse mix of
horns, strings and other noises, a sonic step up from their
still-stellar previous release Your Favorite Music. Rolling into
town tonight at Luther's Blues, 1401 University Ave., Barzelay
chatted to the Cardinal about reality TV, Steely Dan and taking
over the world.
