So, your true love surprised you tonight with a diamond
engagement ring. Sitting in its high, strutting mount, the jewel
proclaims, I'm beautiful, and valuable, and therefore, I am rare.
Yearn for me!"" Most of us accept the logic behind this yearning:
An attractive thing must be valuable, and being valuable, it must
be rare.

The Hush Sound takes a step away from their typical musical fare
with their third album, Goodbye Blues. Following So
Sudden and Like Vines, the Chicago group introduced

and content and, perhaps, broaden its fan base.

Think back to last summer. The senate Democrats had a budget
with $1.7 million in tax increases and the Republicans hated it.
Then they snuck Healthy Wisconsin - that little $15 billion tax
increase - into the budget and all hell broke loose. Long story
short: We didn't get a budget until October. Well folks, Healthy
Wisconsin is back, but don't expect it to go anywhere any time
soon.

Brian Butch has been called overrated, soft and weak. He's been
called flat footed, slow and the worst McDonald's All-American of

We've all been there before. That awkward break between classes
when there isn't really enough time to run home but you want to get
food. But there really isn't anyone to eat with. Then you feel sad.
You mass text all of your friends to see where they are, if maybe
they have time for a fast sandwich at Subway or a burrito from
Chipotle. But after no replies, you just have to face the facts: No
one's around. Cue up the Psycho music because this is straight out
of a horror movie. It has to be everyone's worst nightmare - eating
alone.

We've all had those nights. That night when you're at work, a
tragic calzone explosion has crushed troop morale and you just
swear that if you have to stock one more bottle of milk you are
going to smash your skull in a freezer door.

The foremost question viewers will probably find themselves
asking before putting on their special glasses and settling in to
watch U2 3-D"" is: ""Who is the intended audience for this movie?""

In today's digital age, any kid with a MacBook can record
multi-layered tracks from the comfort of his or her own bathroom.
For the most part, this is great: It gives thousands of talented
artists an outlet to lay down some pretty good music. The flipside
of the coin is that now every schmuck with a guitar and feelings
thinks his emotions are significant. Secondhand Serenade's new
album, A Twist In My Story, is just another instance of a
man spilling his heart and nobody else caring.

With my major finally decided, my parents insisted it was time
to look into a certificate. Something that would make me stand out
from the sea of graduates when looking for a job. I knew exactly
what to search for. Unfortunately, piracy doesn't exist at
UW-Madison.

Let's Get It On"" by Marvin Gaye
(02/12/08 6:00am)
Nobody can fault Nada Surf for not trying. They write decent
music with friendly vocals. They do everything that makes people
listen except one thing: They're too reserved. Unlike
contemporaries vying for an audience, they don't steal another
band's riffs (Jet, Louis XIV) or create an image that's harder than
their music (Good Charlotte, or whoever), they just play really
conservative rock 'n' roll. What's most frustrating, though, is
that when they let go of their inhibitions, they write some pretty
good music.

As I climbed the stairs of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
building, I could not resist an evil giggle. After weeks - nay,
months - of plotting, my evil scheme was about to be fulfilled. I
pulled the device from my trench coat and prepared to make
history.

I started dating when I was 15. Since then, I've had a slew of
boyfriends, flings, dinner dates and objects of my stalker efforts.
They've all been very different - I've dated tall guys, short guys,
smart guys, dumb guys, birthday clowns, liberals and even one
Republican.

UW men's basketball head coach Bo Ryan has not lost very many
games this season, but he did lose a bet with the media last
Saturday after junior forward Marcus Landry's 21 points gave UW
their fifth different 20-plus scorer in five straight games.

An old adage reminds us that we don't know what we got 'til it's
gone."" When the first big snowfall of the year brought war to the
Lakeshore dorms, we realized only too late the value of our lost
peace. Tension had been boiling under the surface for weeks, if not
months. The snow brought friends out to frolic, but a simple
territory dispute would bring a house to the brink of chaos - and
over the edge.

Last Saturday I watched the mighty Badgers decimate the
tragically overrated Michigan Wolverines. As happy as I was to
watch the victory, the day still had some bitter-sweet overtones.
You see, it was (hopefully) the last game I'll watch as an
undergraduate.
