Professor of archaeology sheds light on the myth of the Midas touch
(11/06/18 6:00pm)
C. Brian Rose, a Professor of Mediterranean Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania, focuses his studies on ancient cities and architecture of the Roman Empire. While the life of an archaeologist may not be exactly like what’s shown in the movies, his work results in tangible discoveries of ancient civilizations that help us understand the societies that came before us.
Let’s Make a Painting
(11/01/18 12:00pm)
This week’s “Small Talk” is another beautiful poem from Melanin Speaking writer Jessica Sullivan, showing the importance of creativity and ingenuity.
AJJ, various folk-rock bands bring passionate music to Sett
(10/20/18 8:11pm)
If you’re in the know to any degree on the folk-punk-rock scene, last week’s performances at The Sett was the place to be. Beneath the umbrella of a painfully niche subgenre identity and amid the first round of anxiety-inducing midterms, students and Madisonians alike congregated around the crowd-control barriers — beers and cell phones in hand — to break out into song and dance with some of the biggest names in this snippet of the musical oeuvre.
Johnson captures record-breaking 465th win as Badgers sweep No. 4 Duluth

Wisconsin women's hockey head coach Mark Johnson’s career has included plenty of big wins.
Twenty One Pilots go in a more focused direction with ‘Trench’
(10/13/18 1:00pm)
Twenty One Pilots have walked on a tightrope for many years: Their sound is distinct, with Tyler Joseph’s recognizable rap flow and singing voice fusing perfectly to Josh Dun’s kinetic percussion, yet they draw from so many influences that it is hard to peg them down to one genre.
With its latest announcement, the Academy is making some huge mistakes
(08/09/18 3:01am)
The Academy Awards is something near and dear to my heart. I watch it every year, eagerly consuming articles, talk shows and general awards buzz to help make my predictions for who will take home Hollywood’s most prestigious prize. It’s my Super Bowl, and I love every second of it.
College 101: Investing in Gold
(06/25/18 10:12pm)
As I get closer to graduation, I’ve been trying to figure out “adult stuff,” like money and investing. I think I get the general gist of the stock market and investing: I’m supposed to have a diverse portfolio and use my 401k, right? However, I don’t understand gold. My grandparents own gold and talk about it sometimes, but I don’t get how gold can increase in value the way stocks can, or how to go about investing in gold. Experts, what’s with gold as an investment?

Earth, Wind & Fire, arguably the most influential and prolific funk, disco, R&B and soul band of all time, performed at the Overture Center last Saturday, 49 years after the band’s creation.
Judah & The Lion puts on motivational performance but is overshadowed by openers
(03/12/18 10:00pm)
Judah & The Lion brought energy and positivity to the Orpheum last Tuesday night, but the openers were truly what made the performance memorable.
Legen-dairy Badgers make their mark on World Championship Cheese Contest
(03/12/18 4:55am)
Students and alumni of UW-Madison are considered the “big cheese” for reasons more literal than you might think.
Jordan Peele’s directorial debut remains brilliant with the inventive ‘Get Out’
(03/09/18 2:00pm)
“Get Out” proves it is possible to combine sharp humor with genuine terror. Jordan Peele created a horror movie that attracts a variety of audiences, but he was looking to do more than just provide entertainment. His Oscar-winning screenplay also offers a deep-seeded social critique on modern-day racism, and it is already a classic.
Menominee Tribe partners with UW students to protect sacred place of origin
(02/21/18 1:55pm)
The Menominee River winds southeast from Iron Mountain, MI, through densely forested ridgeland all the way to Marinette, where it empties into Lake Michigan’s Green Bay.
Sharing spaces with Madison’s urban wildlife
(02/22/18 3:01pm)
It’s a little past 6:45 in the morning when David Drake pulls his truck up the hill into Owen Park, on Madison’s near west side. The view from the top of the hill is surprisingly wooded — a restored prairie criss-crossed with snowy trails slopes down into a forest, which Drake says is a favorite haunt of the neighborhood turkeys. The only orienting landmarks are the UW Hospital towers to the east, which glint gold in the sunrise.
Cardinal View: Wisconsin's environmental policies are at odds with Native beliefs
(02/22/18 4:00pm)
The Native American concept of “7th Generation thinking” emphasizes the need to think about how contemporary actions will impact those down the road. This provides a framework for many native communities, helping to prevent selfish decisions. Sustainable mentalities such as this uphold the Native American ideal that humans are not owners of land, but rather temporary residents with an obligation to preserve and respect it.
‘Shadow of the Colossus’ for PlayStation 4 is the definitive version of a classic
(02/19/18 12:00pm)
“Shadow of the Colossus” is the best kind of miserable — it paints a painful picture of a cold and empty world that just doesn’t care anymore. It’s a beautiful world, but any attempt of building something here fell into decay long ago. What little semi-intelligent life you do come across must be killed in the name of a “rescue the damsel” quest that is evil and doomed from the beginning.
‘Monster Hunter: World’ is a fantastic, farcical foray into lands unknown
(02/12/18 2:17am)
Capcom’s “Monster Hunter: World” has some of the most bizarre tonal shifts I’ve ever seen in a game. When an hour spent fighting a giant dinosaur-dragon is followed by 15 minutes of befriending the local piglet and customizing the color of its pajamas, I feel that some focus would’ve helped with these shifts.
UHS resurrects two decades of missing student death data
(01/23/18 2:15pm)
For the past 20 years, University Health Services at UW-Madison recorded the total number of students that died each year. This amounts to 192 total students from April 1998 to 2017, 56 of whom died in the last five years.
?Hip-hop dominates Grammy nominations
(01/23/18 2:00pm)
On Jan. 28, the Grammy Awards will celebrate its 60th annual presentation of what they call “Music’s Biggest Night.” This year’s batch of nominees saw a surprising and welcome surge in hip-hop and R&B artists in major categories, but only time will tell which musicians will walk away with awards. Jay-Z leads the pack with eight nominations, followed by Kendrick Lamar’s seven nods, then Bruno Mars’ six. All three are also up for the coveted Album of the Year award. Competition is tight across multiple awards and the Grammys are no stranger to polarizing wins, as both critical darlings and chart-toppers are pitted against one another. Just last year, Adele’s 25 won Album of the Year but she said, “I can’t possibly accept this award...my artist of my life is Beyoncé,” referring to her fellow nominee’s “monumental, soul-baring, and beautiful” Lemonade. In past years, I begrudgingly watched the ceremony, and thought that the Grammys was the music industry’s biggest night rather than music as a whole, but I have never been more surprised and impressed by the nominees, which only makes picking winners that much harder.
