The student-run radio station WSUM provides the UW-Madison area with alternative music, a voice in the community and a hands-on environment to learn about media production, according to general manager Dave Black.
Cannon Clifton was a man with a goal. The junior swimmer from Irving, Texas, knew 2008 Olympian Garrett Weber-Gale set the UW Natatorium record for the 100-yard freestyle in 2003 since he’d arrived at UW, and wanted to one day change that name on the board to his. Last week, he took it upon himself to train as hard as he could and get into the right mindset so that goal could finally be attained.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder that affects more and more people every day. Resulting from experiences of traumatic events, PTSD is characterized by intense recurring flashbacks and high emotions of fear when the patient is overly triggered by a normally mild stimulus.
“Are you sick of this sh*t yet?” reads the first sentence of Pitchfork’s “Top 10 Albums of 1999” article published in 2001. “...Let's not forget the New York Times' incredibly out- of- touch list of the 25 best albums of all time. (One word: No.)” The introduction reads like an angry college student madly pounding at their keyboard, more concerned with establishing a flippant attitude towards mainstream music journalism than introducing a list for the best albums of the year. A Pitchfork article beginning in such a manner in the year 2015 would raise eyebrows with its complete lack of professionalism, yet it was this exact attitude that propelled the website into the cornerstone for independent music journalism that so many regard it as today.
Friday’s Paris attacks started at 2:20 p.m. Central Standard Time and were ended by a raid four hours later. By 9:48 p.m., UW-Madison confirmed on its Facebook page that all 13 Madison students studying abroad in Paris were safe.
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.
Friday, Nov. 6, the Orpheum Theater hosted the most visually and audibly charming performance I’ve ever seen. Wildling opened for Young the Giant and one word to describe the entire night was blissful. If you’re into newer bands, Wildling exudes an adventurous vibe, making me want to trek across the country with the band providing the soundtrack for my travels. This up-and-coming band writes very personal lyrics with noticeable heart behind every word. I am excited to hear what they’ll release on their upcoming crowd-funded EP later this year.
Electrifying pop hooks. A dreamy voice of smooth gold. The vibrations of pulsating synthesizers. All are recurring themes on Garrett Borns’ first studio album, Dopamine.
Touring with Kelly Clarkson would probably be the peak of many artist’s year. For the a cappella quintet Pentatonix, this was merely another step closer to the top. As if a platinum-selling Christmas album isn’t enough, Pentatonix’s new, self-titled albumhas reached no. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts in just 10 days after its October 16 release. As many a cappella albums go, Pentatonix includes fantastic covers of popular chart-toppers including Jason Derulo’s “If I Ever Fall In Love” and OMI’s “Cheerleader.”
A mere two months after their first appearance in Madison, Family and Friends is returning to town. On tour with The Oh Hellos and Cereus Bright, they will be at the Majestic on Saturday, Oct. 24. Their style is an interesting one to define, a blend of Georgia-style indie rock and percussive folk.
Dane County Executive Joe Parisi released a plan Monday to expand the medical examiner’s scope to Brown County.
The Majestic was buzzing with electricity Thursday night as the floor slowly filled and bodies writhed with excitement for The Underachievers show. Colorful shirts sporting even more colorful slogans swayed to the beat as shoes tapped and the crowd waited for the set to begin. The lights dimmed and the crowd got loud as Kirk Knight stepped on stage to help open the set.
Hailing from Brooklyn, AK and Issa Gold came together to seamlessly blend rap and self-reflection.
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.
Many times collaborations between great artists don’t work. This isn’t because of a lack of musical ability or poor production, but instead the artists are focused on their style or outperforming the other and not about the mix as a whole. Other times, artists work so impeccably well together that you almost forget it’s a collaboration and look forward to the new group’s next project. Big Grams, the hip-hop project from Big Boi and Phantogram, falls into the latter category with their debut, self-titled EP.
Glass Animals’ performance at the Orpheum Tuesday night had everyone in attendance thankful for the difficulty of medical school. Lead vocalist Dave Bayley, the brains behind their psychedelic indie sounds meshing with soul and R&B, was, incidentally, once upon a time a student in medical school. Lucky for us, he soon realized his calling lay in creating music that attracts one of the most eclectic music crowds I’ve ever seen in Madison. Perhaps one reason perhaps why this concert brought together fans of such different genres is the addictive quality of Bayley’s music. Anyone who has ever experienced the first slow wave of getting tipsy or high would have been able to recognize that same feeling when Bayley launched into their first number, “Walla Walla,” and the wave climbed from there.
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 Scottish electronic trio, CHVRCHES, released their highly anticipated second studio album Every Open Eye on September 25. Much like their debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, lead singer Lauren Mayberry delivers killer vocals, singing about the woes of relationships and other struggles faced in the band’s daily lives. Her vocals are layered over upbeat synthesized rhythms and dreamy melodies, and the sound on this album can be described as a modern twist on classic ’80s pop. Mayberry’s vocals and jacked-up rhythm give it an edgy modern twist. The thing I enjoyed most about this album was the lyrics. On The Bones of What You Believe, many of the songs focused on the notion of revenge. Though this album still has tracks that still very much embody hatred, many of the songs are more empowering, and focus on overcoming struggles and the positive instead of the negative. This album’s songs are much more relatable on a different, deeper level.
The Underachievers aren’t the type to idle. They’re not patient. Their lines don’t hide within the meditative crawl of their beats, waiting to strike. No, they’re upfront about their craft, wasting no time or space to translate their thoughts to rhyme. They’ll give their introductions a chance to breathe and expand across the background, but otherwise it’s their show. They’ve got a message to paint, and they’re not going to waste the canvas.
