Considering the $42 ticket price, a sterile and unintimate concert venue and Coke commercials, the Counting Crows' current tour will prove to be a pivotal moment for the band. It can decide to either sell out into the extreme mainstream full of groupie fans and corporate endorsements or remain in the less popular realm that its fans love it for.
By this point, everyone and their mother know about the Strokes and their breakthrough debut album Is This It. Since it's September 2001 release date, the Strokes fanbase has steadily grown from hipsters and the British press to eight-year-olds and Teen Beat girls. But how would this now-classic album translate into a live show in Midwestern America?
Ask any student why college is considered one of the greatest experiences in their life, and they will all give you the same answer: a fast Internet connection to download porn.
Aaron Rea may have landed at UW-Madison by accident. The 18-year-old freshman chose the university because it had a wildlife ecology major, something UW-Milwaukee, another school he was considering, did not. A few days before classes started, however, he found out a college closer to home had a similar program. Had he known this before, chances are good he would have opted to go there. After all, he would have been closer to his home in Beloit, Wis., which would have meant being closer to friends, family and of course Cassie, his girlfriend of four months.
Warm months of luxurious laziness form a luminescent beacon on the horizon, but a vile obstruction eclipses all but a glimmer of promised freedom. As the sun sets on the semester, the brutality of final exams establishes a craggy barricade from the fulfillment of long-deserved summer relaxation.
Coffee is as native to a college campus as the pi??a colada is to Hawaii. Should this obsessive coffee consumption suffer because winter finally ends? No'that would be like saying vacationers stop experiencing the tropics during an unexpected rainstorm!
There's something unique about sketch comedy, something like a gamble. Almost always you have multiple writers, each chipping in a joke or situation here and there. The way it should work is that you get only the best from each; the combined glimpses of genius from many comedians. Plus, there's the safety net that comes from each having to prove his or her jokes to the other writers. But there are risks. Since all the comedians are friends, inside jokes slip through'jokes that rely more on knowing the person telling them than anything else make it to the final draft. And some things one writer would have in his mind the whole time'story arc, consistency of quality, major themes'get ignored to fit in funny episodes.
Army storm troopers set off into the battle zone, well equipped for any challenge. Suddenly, they run into an enormous problem: The enemy is a phantom. Believe it or not, I am not talking about the war in Afghanistan.
I've been working through this grand scheme of farce vs. satire in modern film and TV. So far, all I have is a convoluted thesis that's totally at the whim of whichever mode of humor I prefer at the moment. The best way I can think of to flesh it out is to just go through some examples, so that's what I'll do with \Wet Hot American Summer."" Read quickly, because today is the last day of its short run in Madison.
Those of you already living in District 4 may already know, love and frequent the various bars on Main Street. They offer a different feel from the bars found on University Avenue or State Street: a drinking atmosphere that's not necessarily activated by the weekend, and that's almost always more laid back.
On Sept. 11, a tragedy occurred. The loss of life in sheer numbers was terrifying'that's why it's called terrorism. The loss in terms of suffering and pain shall be greater by far. The magnitude of the human suffering will be decided by our ability to be humans. The American people's ability to act as a rational group of thinking, feeling individuals rather than as a machine of nationalism will decide if we as a people and as a race survive this tragedy.
