Bobby Wegner and Heather Sawyer have spent the last few years
releasing hot 7'' records like they owe it to the world. The Hussy
rolled up renegade anthems of youthful indulgence into
reverb-coated splinters of garage rock without pretense. But even
those candy-coated anarchist refrains sounded like they were
picking away at something bigger, and we see a better picture of
the Hussy's sculpture on their first full-length release,
Cement Tomb Mind Control.

The Wisconsin women's soccer team enjoyed a successful two-game
series at home this weekend with wins over Michigan State and
Michigan to hold on to second place in the Big Ten standings going
into their last weekend of regular season play.

By now most of you have heard about the party on North Brooks
Street that was busted by the police and received thousands of
dollars in fines. For those of you who haven't here is a little
background:

If you can believe it, there was a time when indie meant something
completely different than it does today. There was a time when the
term was associated with its origin; that is, of being autonomous,
indefinable and generally unpopular. To show the dexterity of the
term, consider the fact that a band like Vampire Weekend, still
identified as indie, simultaneously sells out huge venues on every
leg of their tour, are backed by a hugely successful commercial
label and are as musically accessible to trendy teenagers as they
are to suburban moms.

The injury bug has bitten the Green Bay Packers in a big way so far
this season. The Packers have lost running back Ryan Grant,
linebacker Nick Barnett, tight end Jermichael Finley and safety
Morgan Burnett to season ending injuries. Key players Clay
Matthews, Ryan Pickett, Brandon Chillar, Al Harris, Atari Bigby,
Donald Lee and Wisconsin alum Mark Tauscher have also missed time
with various ailments.

To beat any opponent, making big plays in timely situations will
benefit the cause. Against the top-ranked team in the country, such
execution is necessary.

UW-Eau Claire Information Studies Department head Tom Hilton will
be reprimanded for sending an offensive e-mail to two students in
late September.

While downtown definitely has its fair share of places to imbibe,
it finds itself considerably more lacking in terms of culture. Some
students may claim that seeing a freshly minted 21-year-old down a
Wando's fishbowl single-handedly is all the culture we'll ever
need, but that doesn't exactly cater to the majority of Madison
residents—actual adults with jobs.

I am new to campus and don't know many people. Also, I am gay. I am
interested in getting to know more people for friendship and maybe
more. Do you know good ways to get to know people here on campus? I
would like to meet other gay people but also would just like to
make friends.

You know what they say—""Mo' money, mo' problems."" I've had
considerably more experience with the opposite, though, and I can
personally attest that the logic still holds—""No money, mo'
problems."" Being wealthy certainly has its hang-ups (where on
EARTH will you even park that thing?!), but the same is
true for people who are forced into buying knockoff ramen noodles
and stealing kitchenware from local taverns.

The Wisconsin Badgers (11-3, 0-3) fought tough against the No. 7
Illinois Fighting Illini (11-2, 3-0) on Wednesday night but
couldn't seem to close out sets and lost the match in four sets.
After winning the first set 25-19, the Badgers fell to the Illini
in the next three.

Last week, as local sophomore Timothy McFadden eagerly waited in
front of his television set for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards,
something magical happened. Sitting with a box of Cheez-Its and a
lukewarm Doctor Pepper, Timothy was so emotionally stirred by the
groundbreaking vocal performances of Justin Bieber and Usher, that
he made a personal pledge to be ""just like them"" some day.
Timothy's personal realization that he was bound for musical
stardom occurred just as Bieber (16), surrounded by 13-year-old
male background dancers, sang his most well known lyrics ""Like
baby, baby, baby ohh"" for the 36th time.

I recently have engaged in a sexual relationship. Since we started
having sex, I have had trouble ejaculating. I think it may be
because I have masturbated on a very regular basis ever since I was
13 years old. Could I be losing sensitivity down there or could
something else be the problem?

This happens to me every fall. I follow baseball religiously from
the day pitchers and catchers report to spring training, through
the entire summer and into September. But then the first NFL Sunday
rolls around and my interest drops right off the table.

Of all the newfangled trends everyone is wetting their pants over,
my least favorite is most definitely the hipster. Those dirty
motherfuckers think they can come to class dressed in thrift store
relics from 1976, with only a ratted beanie (that they obviously
hand-knit in-between class at the Rathskeller) covering their long,
scuzzy, going-on-three-weeks unwashed hair.

If you've kept your ear to the ground for the last year and a half
of pop music, a band named Surf City isn't likely to rouse much of
a blip on your Richter Scale. With reverbed vocals, slippery bass
and loads of glossy guitars, they play shoegazey pop with a casual
immediacy. But Surf City aren't near as self-absorbed or stoic as
their peers, and the result is a debut LP, Kudos, far more
dynamic and with fewer hang-ups than you'd expect.

The Badgers may have moved to 2-0 on Saturday, but the performance
did not overwhelm many- including the San Jose State Spartans.
After starting the game with a 10 play, 77 yard touchdown drive
that appeared to be the beginning of a dominating performance,
turnovers and defensive miscues allowed San Jose State to hang
around before UW ultimately put the game away, winning 27-13.

Since we last spoke, the newest Weezer album, Hurley hit the
Internet. Named after the ""Lost"" character whose face was kindly
magnified for the album's cover art, Hurley marks the eighth LP in
one of contemporary pop culture's most institutionalized catalogs.
So far as I know, no single band's work has evoked such a wide
range of reactions from the same audience. Each Weezer album has
such distinct features and values that their titles can and should
be used as adjectives to fit various degrees of merit. Consider the
following your guide to appropriate usage of Weezer album titles in
a colloquial setting:

You know those times when ephemeral moments aren't? When a sliver
of time is so resonant that it stays with you your whole life?
They're the cultural touchstones you talk about at work picnics
because everybody from the same generation can instantly recall
precisely where they were, what they were doing and how that one
event directly or indirectly brought them to that very function.
Pearl Harbor, the Berlin Wall, September 11, John Stocco's
quarterback draw to beat Michigan in 2005—all of them the same.
