Everything in the world has some consequences. Today, our world is moving fast; the speed of economic boom in many developing nations is amazing. Unfortunately, there are some negative consequences of this economic progress. One of those is the increase of chronic illness in those countries.
Members of Madison’s Alcohol License Review Committee discussed the new ownership of the corporation that runs Johnny O’s as well as a possible new Gorham Street bar, HopCat Madison, at their Wednesday evening meeting.

News reports over winter break provided a flurry of headlines worth talking about, from the CIA torture report, gasoline prices falling to the lowest they’ve been in six years and President Obama restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba. All of these events possess a high level of significance, but none more-so than the terror attack in Paris Jan. 7 when two gunmen wearing masks and wielding assault weapons killed 12 people. Their target? A cartoon newspaper named Charlie Hebdo that prints satirical cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
This is a transcript of an interview with local rapper Lord of the Fly. To read the story printed in the Spring 2015 Welcome Back Issue, click here.
Daniel Kaplan’s recording name, Lord of the Fly, may initially illicit some unsavory connotations. First of foremost is William Golding’s vicious 1954 “Lord of the Flies”—and maybe, in the throes of his self-titled single, Kaplan’s yelp of “Lord of the what, bitches?/Lord of the Fly” indeed stresses a demand of hierarchal restructuring, of reallocation of dominance in a scene as fresh and fertile as an uninhabited island. Then, there’s the monster at the heart of Golding’s novel, the literal Lord of the Flies; Beelzebub, the devil himself. And maybe that’s an accurate depiction of Kaplan’s character—not the split mouthed pig on a stick of the book, but something closer to Milton’s romantic Satan: the deviant, the naysayer or the ardent artist, completely dedicated to his craft.

Protesters lay on the ground around students studying for finals for 20 minutes before concluding the demonstration outside the doors of the library.
Protesters ended the march at Helen C. White Library, where they lay for 20 minutes in a "die-in" to represent black men and women killed by law enforcement around the country.
"Hands up, don’t shoot!”

When I was walking by the merchandise table in the Barrymore Theatre, set up for Nick Lowe’s Quality Holiday Revue tour, I noticed an item that was (in every sense) jarring. Pinned to a board was a T-shirt advertising the event, with cartoon headshots of Lowe and his backing band, Los Straitjackets. But there was another face beaming out in peach and pastel, which was the reason I paused: Ian McLagan, who died suddenly Dec. 3.
Flogging Molly are (almost inexplicably) a cornerstone band for me. They were a common bond between many of my friends in high school, central to nearly any playlist we had while driving through Minnetonka, Minnesota. We headbanged to “Requiem for a Dying Song.” We blared “Rebels of the Sacred Heart.” It’s kind of strange, looking back as a college senior, but the memories stick.
Amid the thousands of UW-Madison students gearing up for the trek home to indulge in their Thanksgiving dinners, there is a commonly overlooked campus population focusing their attention on a much realer subject: where they will find their next meal.
In the history of most hated genres, while some people hate hip-hop and others hate country music, there is one genre that stands above them all as a genre nearly universally hated: disco. I’m here to tell you why disco doesn’t suck and is actually in everything you listen to today.

New research released Wednesday shows an increase in crop production has caused levels of carbon dioxide to rise and fall seasonally to a larger degree, with fluctuations growing by 50 percent in the last five decades, according to a UW-Madison news release.
This month, both Marvel and DC revealed their predicted movie schedules through 2020. The second “Avengers” movie comes out in May, and superheroes and their ilk continue to invade our television screens. We’ve seen everything from prequels (“Gotham”), to companion shows (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) and everything in between (literally everything else). We know now that the superhero model is a popular, insanely high-grossing construct with universes and story lines expansive enough to continue going on forever. The real question is whether or not we’ll continue to watch week in, week out after the thrill is gone.
