The UW anthem doesn't represent campus
(10/21/15 3:27am)
The class clown; not the cool one that has the good jokes or even the one that does stupid stuff that makes everyone laugh. No, I speak of the sub-variety of this personality that sits in the back of the class and has a comment for everything. Someone you want to tell to take a long walk off a short pier, but you know they thrive on any attention. So, you are forced to grind your teeth, smile, and watch as the second hand crawls across the clock face, leisurely strolling towards your freedom.
Mac Miller and openers energizes sold-out Orpheum Theater
(10/20/15 4:15am)
The Orpheum Theater was full of excitement as Mac Miller and his three opening acts took the stage by storm Saturday. As expected, the sold-out crowd packed the Orpheum. Before the doors opened, early guests lined the sidewalk for more than two blocks, and when the doors finally opened, people packed the first floor and balcony so tightly that no one could take a step or raise their hands without bumping the next spectator. The stage was set up with two DJ tables and a large centered alarm clock with Mac Miller’s new album name, GO:OD AM. On the sides were posters of his album cover photo, depicting Mac Miller’s obnoxiously yawning face. Rappers The Come-Up Boys, Domo Genesis and GoldLink, each partnered with their own DJ, revved the audience with a plethora of bass-bumping singles. And Mac Miller most certainly made the concert a highlight of the University of Wisconsin-Madison homecoming weekend.
The vastness of space finds refuge in print
(10/13/15 2:01am)
What is it about the vastness of space that has had human beings transfixed from day one? We barely gain cognizance of the land around us before we start looking upwards and beyond. The sky in all its magnitude and infinite horizon is endlessly fascinating to us. Our desire to explore beyond what we know and into the mysteries of space epitomizes everything about human curiosity. Be it the love for NASA, movies set in and around space or the plethora of literature penned on it, we have always collectively yearned for what’s out there, and the possibility of understanding it more than anything else. It may very well be one of the last remaining things the inhabitants of Earth can find joy in sharing.
Philosophy and hip-hop converge in NYC
(10/13/15 7:01am)
Eastern philosophy, consciousness and morality: concepts that seem more at home in a textbook or a discussion table and not something you would find at a concert. Prepare yourself for surprise, because The Underachievers will combine all three at the Majestic Thursday.
Arguments for gun control fall flat
(10/13/15 1:56am)
Arguments over gun control revolve around one of two things: trying to maximize or minimize a certain set of statistics or hoping to establish a specific set of individual rights. Those who attempt to maximize or minimize societal outcomes advance a utilitarian argument; those who advocate for establishing individual rights in relation to gun ownership rely on their own arbitrarily-defined belief system.
Between the Sheets: I’m feelin’ myself; get lost in the good karma of self-love
(10/13/15 12:28am)
In honor of Love Your Body Day this Wednesday, October 14th, we’re talking about losing ourselves in loving ourselves. Recognizing the beauty of our bodacious bods puts us in the driver’s seat on the road to pleasure. As the amazing and lovely staff at Sex Out Loud has put it, “When we choose to love ourselves, in spite of the influences telling us we are not good enough, we protest the idea that a woman’s (or anyone’s) body must look a particular way for others. When we love our bodies, we’re in control of seeking out pleasure! Who’d a thought touchin’ your bod could be a protest?”
Hideo Kojima haunts the redirection of 'Metal Gear Solid'
(10/12/15 2:40am)
While making my slow exploration through the uncharted “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,” I’ve also been watching “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” with my partner. The Metal Gear Solid games are subtitled “Tactical Espionage Action,” a title which betrays its political edge, stealth-action gameplay and its total pretension. The series is named for a ridiculous bipedal mechanical suit, designed after the rise of Mecha anime in the ’80s, one supposedly representing total military superiority because “it can launch a nuke from anywhere.” It’s also a series which has featured cyborg ninjas, a Russian commando who shoots bees out of his arms, a terrorist named Revolver “Shalashaska” Ocelot and a severed arm which, attached to said Revolver Ocelot, takes over his entire personality with that of the deceased.
Shakespeare-inspired band comes to perform at The Frequency

“I have done a thousand dreadful things, as willingly as one would kill a fly, and nothing grieves me heartily indeed, but that I cannot do ten thousand more.”
The Avett Brothers sell out Breese Stadium with Americana charm
(10/06/15 4:08am)
A field of 7,500 knit-clad folks, a brisk autumn night and an absorbing Avett Brothers performance is an equation for an October utopia. The Avett Brothers, and their sea of fans, christened Breese Stevens Field on Friday night in the venue’s first-ever concert that sold out in 10 minutes.
Characters make the choice to live
(10/05/15 4:23am)
Living is hard. We do not take even one innocuous moment within our day to think how hard, but it’s hard. We make a conscious decision to live everyday, with everything we do. Just the mere act of getting up each morning is actively choosing to live. All our little actions and thoughts that follow in succession, are evidence of our will to live. But it’s never easy. Especially when life doesn’t give us so many of the answers we so badly need. Where does one find the strength to continue living then, to make the decision to open our eyes every morning?
Understanding the plight of a left-handed individual
(10/05/15 3:46am)
I’ve always been pretty average. I’m a white, middle-class male, maybe a little taller than most people. But I am special in one way. I’m one of the 10 percent of people in the world who are left handed, and let me tell you, it sucks. You know how Madonna said that she is a “Material Girl” living in a “material world?” Well, I’m a left-handed boy living in a right handed-world; we are the 10 percent.

"The Man in the High Castle" perfects dystopia for Amazon's streaming service
(09/30/15 2:01am)
For the average college student, there are few elements of daily life that take priority over everything else. There is one glorious activity that many may underplay in casual conversation, or say that they don’t have time for it or are too devoted to their studies. The simple answer is that they are lying. Binge-watching television keeps college students afloat and happy. Without the comforting glow of Netflix, college students in this day and age would probably panic and die of withdrawal. In this column, I will attempt to provide you readers with samples of my type of fix; my insights on what I find to be the most fascinating, addicting, engaging and, most importantly, binge-worthy television that is available today. Because without online streaming, what is college?
Authors depict the struggles of addiction
(09/28/15 2:29am)
I don’t think that the majority of us have the full ability to comprehend what addiction is. We use that word carelessly, as we do most words in our life. We claim to be addicted to that new song by Kanye or the guacamole at Chipotle but as obliviously as we may insist otherwise we do not need these things for survival or for some semblance of peace in our mind. True addiction is a clawing need inside of your skin that breathes with a life of its own. It is the desperate longing for something so intense that nothing but the object of your addiction exists. It is a hunger so deep you can feel it in every crevice of your mind. While we may never understand what it truly means to go through something like that, words left behind by others can show us a rare glimpse into the mental battle addiction entails.

'Voluntourism' blurs the lines
(09/28/15 12:51am)
A brave soul stands in front of the class, waiting for his time to shine. Once the murmuring dies down, he jumps into an energetic, well-rehearsed pitch for his volunteer group, spewing examples of adventures to be had and sights to be seen. He passes out a collection of colored sheets that reiterate his point, leaves and finally lecture can begin.
