Walker says no to Syrian refugees following Paris attacks
(11/17/15 4:00am)
Gov. Scott Walker and other Republican leaders signaled Monday that Wisconsin will not be accepting any Syrian refugees following Friday’s terrorist attacks on Paris which left 129 people dead.
Hippo Campus shelters rain-soaked crowd
(11/10/15 4:31am)
I’ve had the opportunity to see a wide and strange collection of items thrown onto stages during concerts throughout the years: bras, underwear and phone numbers scribbled on Post-it notes. But Thursday night’s Hippo Campus show at the Majestic Theatre added a new one to my record book: Halloween candy.
Johnson forgoes WNBA for one last chance with UW
(11/05/15 6:42am)
For Michala Johnson, the training room became the place she resided during games almost as much as the bench. Thanks to two ACL injuries, the sixth-year senior has become as versed in the anatomy of a knee as the Wisconsin playbook. Twice, she has watched her team suffer on the floor knowing full well she could do very little to affect the outcomes of their games.
Freakfest X: Country stage stole hearts on Gilman Street
(11/02/15 6:19am)
Freakfest is known for attracting creatures of all types through its gates. The corn, deer, hunters and cowboys all congregated around the Gilman Street Stage as it featured Chase Rice, The Cadillac Three and several others who cranked out tunes to get a hoedown going. In fact, since the party was getting so big and rowdy many other creatures found their way there.
Bringing football to a new community
(10/28/15 5:05am)
It’s safe to say that Bart Houston had thrown a myriad of touchdown passes before Saturday’s 24-13 win against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Yet it’s not hyperbolic to say that Houston’s two touchdown passes on Saturday were unlike any he’s ever thrown prior to this weekend.
Record Routine: City and Colour album starts with promise but disappoints
(10/21/15 2:45am)
Canadian based folk-rocker Dallas Green—also known as City and Colour—attempts to reach new depths on his fifth release, If I Should Go Before You. He introduces themes of mortality—a common theme for singer-songwriters—to his folk-fuzz-inspired sound. In order to distinguish himself from inadvertently exploring the same tropes as other artists within the genre, Green attempts to contextualize his fears of mortality within a relationship, hence the title of the album.

'American Horror Story’ returns to its roots in new season
(10/14/15 2:29am)
“American Horror Story” is finally back with its fifth season and it did not disappoint. The anthology series has made some serious changes: Jessica Lange bowed out, Lady Gaga is the new lead and the new sinister location is a once-glamorous-now-dodgy hotel in Los Angeles. However, even with these fresh new changes, the show seems to have returned back to its roots; victims get tortured and killed in their residence by an ensemble of other-worldly oddities that have a routine to their madness and run through the drill like it’s just another day. Sound familiar? Season one featured the same type of formula: New residents of a haunted house falling prey to the ghosts that haunt it. Season five takes place in the same city, has a similar plot and even guest stars the realtor that sold the horror house in season one. This is not necessarily a bad thing; I personally thought the first season was one of the best in the series and established the distinctive world of “AHS.” With “AHS: Hotel,” there is enough change to keep viewers intrigued and hopefully enough diverse material to stand as its own unique story. So far, it is looking good. Already in the first episode there is a deadly foursome, a ghoulish spawn of bloodsucking children, a serial killer with a bowler hat and a “Pan’s Labyrinth”-type monster with a lethal strap-on dildo.
Titus Andronicus reins supreme as rulers of the mosh pit at sold-out Frequency
(10/13/15 2:01am)
Where were you on October 10, 2015, the day Titus Andronicus conquered the world? Perhaps you were out with friends, or maybe in a library studying? It would be easy to have been caught up in the happenings of another Saturday night, but in a tiny stage just west of the Capitol Square, beneath the dimming lights and swinging amplifiers of The Frequency, Titus Andronicus usurped the title of “greatest band in the world.”
Record Routine: Abandoning Americana, Kurt Vile’s stripped down vocals highlight 'b’lieve i’m going down...'
(10/12/15 2:44am)
Kurt Vile is one of few artists that can still embody the American rocker moniker in the most laid-back, daydream-y sense of the word. Vile’s latest effort strips away the Americana feel he produced for 2013’s Wakin On A Pretty Daze, a nostalgic, reverb-heavy lead guitar that he’s been refining since his work with former band The War on Drugs. b’lieve i’m goin down… strips down to an acoustic tone, putting Vile’s abilities as a songwriter at center stage. While the psychedelic charm of those reverb-soaked melodies steps back from the main attraction, Vile’s embracing the “solitary man and his guitar” vibe lets the introspective musician shine in his own way.
Badgers' jukebox ranges far and wide
(10/09/15 12:07am)
When the Badgers pour out of the tunnel on game day, they’re met by a mix of cheers from the tens of thousands of fans who fill the stadium and the blare of the band leading them in with the school song. It’s the first song that hits the players, gets them motivated to take the field and unifies them as Wisconsin football players.
Record Routine: Deafheaven bucks black metal critics, sails on New Bermuda
(10/08/15 2:02am)
I’m waiting for the conversation where the death metal purist somehow convinces me Deafheaven actually is the abomination that haunts the corners of the metal world. Deafheaven has never seemed to have solid footing in that world; there’s plenty of fans willing to defend Deafheaven’s dreamy sounds, but there’s just as many who denounce the band as “hipster drivel.” They run that same spectrum sonically, where chugging riffs and belched vocals drift into colorful progressions and brake-pedal rhythms.

(10/08/15 1:11am)

Record Routine: Hippo Campus picks up steam on sublime "South" EP
(10/06/15 3:57am)
The Minnesotan indie-pop band Hippo Campus released their second EP “South” Oct. 2, capturing all my spare time, so consider this a formal apology to my bosses and professors for the work I avoided.

"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?
Tinder provides fun, yet callous, pleasure in the 21st century
(09/23/15 3:29am)
The tale begins with me stumbling on to Nancy Jo Sales' feature in the September issue of Vanity Fair, "Tinder and the Dawn of the Dating Apocalypse." Putting aside my thoughts on the piece for now, I did what I always do when I come across something relevant and titillating—I texted it to my friends to garner their thoughts on it. What ensued was somewhat of a heated debate over text which, in a way, wrote this week’s column in itself. People use Tinder as casually and commonly as Facebook now. We’re also either pretending we haven’t used it, and hence sticking to our lofty state of judgment, or we’re part of a couple who wants to see what else is out there. So we have opinions—oh so many opinions—about Tinder.
