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.
The race for county supervisor is on. While some candidates, namely Ech Vedder, District 5, and Tom Powell, District 8, recently have been criticized in the news for their campaign techniques of going door-to-door in the dorms, this is one of the great ways of getting their message to otherwise often clueless students. This tactic can be a very informative experience for many first- and second-year students who may not otherwise search out the information on the candidates.
Being the most reputable group hailing from Milwaukee, The Rusty P's have opened for just about every major hip-hop act that has rolled through the Brew City. They bring the flow to the Annex, 1206 Regent St., tonight for a hip-hop showcase, and those in attendance can expect a mix of intelligent lyrics and danceable beats. Cardinal Arts chatted with emcee Adam Haupt about the concert.
Since Soul Coughing broke up in March of 2000, frontman Mike Doughty has gained a first name, lost a backing band and released a solo album, , which is available only through his Web site. He has toured solo extensively, playing a mix of reworked Soul Coughing songs and new material. Before bringing his one-man act to the Orpheum Thursday night, he chatted with The Daily Cardinal.
The invention of the telephone late in the 1800s was a major step in making communication over long distances easier. In the digital age, personal computers and the Internet have been further shrinking the space between people. Now, wireless communications are bringing people closer together than ever before, according to Daniel Vanderweide, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering.
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). Two, prostitution is legal. Indeed, certain kinds of prostitution are legal.
Vilas Zoo's baby Bornean orangutan, named Kawan, celebrates his first birthday today.
If one were asked to name the tools of the artist, one would probably start with the paintbrush or pencil and run through dozens more before getting to the digital video camera, computer and Internet connection. However, ever since electronic technology started appearing on the market, artists have been using it.
Struggling over how to deal with budget cuts proposed Jan. 22 by Gov. Scott McCallum, UW System administrators met last week to delineate options for absorbing the cutbacks, suggesting possibilities such as extending winter break to save on energy costs.
First off, I'd like to preface this article by kindly pointing out that my residents are full of it. You know how your friends can be'they take one little thing you do and they blow it up to epic proportions until they're convinced that it's bigger than it really is. So let me state for the record, I AM NOT addicted to Dr. Mario. That's just ridiculous.
It's been over two months since the jet-propelled bombs hurled themselves on the monumental landmarks of a great city, causing mayhem and hysteria that shook the world. America today feels vulnerable and, to put it distastefully, a part of the eal world"" where terrorists are as much a reality as football on Monday night. Two summers ago in India, I had a brief but very enlightening (for lack of a better word) experience in interacting with an Indian Army officer just back from Kashmir after a posting in the valley fighting the terrorism of the same Mujahedeen fighters trained in Taliban's training camps. Here are certain facts that might help Americans to better understand the perils of the people who they regard as their enemy.
The popular image of Internet romance is that of two lonely and socially inept people typing remarkably improbable things to each other over a chat service of some sort, or the online intrigue in which Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan got involved in the film \You've Got Mail."" However, Internet personal ads, like their newspaper-based counterparts, focus on getting people together in real life.
The Yang house is silent and dark. A white custom Chevy van waits in the driveway, gradually losing its fight with rust. Across the street, a defective streetlight hesitates and flickers off. Suddenly, the Yang rooster crows from the garage. The streetlight flickers back on. The rooster crows again, insistent this time. Once more.
Los Angeles has been the promised land for many musicians throughout the ages. It seems no matter who you are, if your band builds a following on the West Coast club circuit, people talk and record labels take notice. In the case of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, lots of labels came calling. But in the end Virgin Records was the only company willing to give Black Rebel the creative freedom it desired. This freedom is quite evident on the band's self-titled debut album, which displays Black Rebel's total control of the recording and producing process conducted in its home studio.
Quasi has had a way of intriguing listeners over the course of its last four albums with its strangely happy melodies and frequently dreary lyrics, in combination with a sound heavily dependent on the Roxichord, a vintage keyboard best described as an electric harpsichord. Perhaps more famous for the history of its band members'an ex-husband-and-wife duo consisting of keyboardist/singer Sam Coomes, who also played in the band Heatmeiser with Elliott Smith way back when, and drummer Janet Weiss, perhaps better known for her percussive contributions to Sleater-Kinney'Quasi has received both critical blessings and an appreciative fan base. Coomes took a few minutes to chat with Cardinal Arts prior to embarking on a North American tour to promote their new album, The Sword of God. Look for the band in Madison Sept. 25 at the Annex, 1206 Regent St.
Never tired of hyping their latest album, 1997's Four Minute Mile, The Get Up Kids are on the road again, this time as the glistening openers for the Green Day tour. Perhaps best known in Madison for their auspicious performance at Club 770, these Kansas City natives are hoping to break into airwave territory through their stint with Billy Joe and company. The Daily Cardinal chatted recently with Ryan Pope, the band's drummer, who admits that The Get Up Kids are the hottest thing out of K.C. since barbecued ribs.
