Over the past few years, we've seen a strange trend developing
in the NHL playoffs, and I've never been quite sure how to explain
it, but I'm going to take a stab. Every single year in the NFL
playoffs, you can count on some of the teams that had the best
record in the regular season to drop out of the playoffs way too
early. Based on the regular season standings, the best teamsnever
seem to take it deep into the playoffs, and each year it seems to
get stranger.

If you find yourself easily sidetracked by the internet as much
as I, then this article is for you, because I'm about to drop an
A-bomb of time-wasting on your ass. If not, you might want to stop
reading now, and actually start paying attention to your
lecture.

Perhaps the whole musical experience can be summed up in one
scene from the film ""High Fidelity."" Championship Vinyl owner Rob
Gordon is violently reorganizing his personal music collection.
Walls and walls of old vinyl records are scattered haphazardly
across the floors, leaving nowhere to walk between the stacks of
records and Rob's bitter nostalgia. Rob is organizing the records
autobiographically, picking up his memories and slotting them back
in place.

The world of ""Fish Tank"" teems with images that should shock
audiences—children wander the road side looking for booze, money
and general mischief while the few adults that are around scream
obscenities at them, pushing them out of view to make way for their
own drunken revelry and denials of responsibility. It's clearly a
wretched place to grow up, and it's in that hell of urban waste
that we find Mia, a 15-year-old aspiring break dancer who responds
to this world with violent, obscenity-spewing rage towards her
family, peers and even strangers.

The last three times Wisconsin was in this position, 60 minutes
was not sufficient to decide a winner.Saturday night, it was just
enough. The Wisconsin Badgers, for the first time since 2006, are
headed back to the Frozen Four courtesy of a 5-3 win over
conference rival St. Cloud in the Western Regional Final. There
were 7,182 on hand at the Xcel Energy Center to witness the Huskies
(15-9-4 WCHA, 24-14-5 overall) twice pull themselves within a goal
in the third period before the Badgers (17-8-3, 27-10-4) finally
held on to secure their spot in Detroit. ""It feels incredible,""
senior forward and captain Blake Geoffrion said. ""I know a lot of
seniors have worked since our freshman year coming in, coming in
after a championship team and seeing how those guys work and how
hard they work, so for us the opportunity to possibly go to the
national championship game, it's an incredible feeling right now.
Job's not done yet though.""

A singer-songwriter, by traditional standards, depicts a
bard-like guitar player who can interweave abstract or direct tales
of social, personal or political commentary. The most common image
behind this phrase has to be a young Bob Dylan, crafted in the mold
of Woody Guthrie and singing with a similar country flavor and
""This Machine Kills Fascists"" political motivation. This ideal
evolved with technology and genre amalgamation, but to this day,
grasps at that mysticism of being the informed poet, using either a
guitar or piano to spread musical messages. In other words,
singer-songwriters, according to this traditional ideal, are not
supposed to be superficial pop artists. They know music is meant
for more than that.

This is a tough question for me to ask, but I am very
concerned my boyfriend is cheating on me. He is always busy lately,
and when we do hang out, he always seems distracted or angry...I
don't have any real evidence that he's cheating, but I just am
concerned...what should I do?

They aren't yet making leaps and bounds toward a cure, but
rather they are taking baby steps towards comprehension.

Lifehouse: Back in 2001, Lifehouse?s single ?Hanging By a
Moment? was the most-played song of the year. Since then, the band
has grown, producing several other hits. Their latest album, Smoke
and Mirrors, definitely has a few more.

Many die-hard Lifehouse fans and music buffs alike remember the
2001 hit single ""Hanging by a Moment"" from the band's debut
album, No Name Face. Back then, the members of
Lifehouse—original members Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. and Jason
Wade—were unrecognizable faces. Now, nine years after the band's
first big hit, Lifehouse is a household name.

I've joined an online dating website. Yeah, yeah, laugh all you
want. Let me preface this by saying that I joined with my friends
as a joke and strictly for the sake of sensational journalism; we
all wanted to find guys and go on a date together, and I wanted to
write about it in this column.

Whenever Wisconsin faces Minnesota State, a few things are
almost certain. Both sides will deliver their share of hits, elbows
and shots, and there would be more than a few post-whistle mêlées
or shoving matches.

A large part of making either successful or appealing music
today is figuring out how far away you want to keep listeners while
still providing them with empathetic emotion or sentiment to grasp.
From ambience to pop, today's music requires either hidden,
artistic accessibility or transparent pop sensibilities. Phantogram
can be seen as hanging in perfect balance between an open sound
like Chairlift or the xx and the abrasive, sometimes confusing
sounds of Hot Chip or of Montreal.

If you're lucky enough to find them, there are some pretty sweet
jobs out there. Who among us wouldn't want to be a taste tester for
the New Glarus Brewing Company, a high-profile movie star or a
supercar reviewer? I would probably say any job that would pay me a
decent amount of money to talk about sports would be the best gig
in the world.

""Fat Men in Skirts,"" produced by the Mercury Players Theatre
and playing at the Bartell Theatre the weekends of Feb. 4th and
11th, goes for shock over substance. Upon entering the theatre, two
understudies/ushers arbitrarily chose audience members to be
""frisked."" This theatrical choice is meant to prepare the
audience for the show, but its use in ""Fat Men in Skirts"" ends up
making many of the audience members scared and uncomfortable.

The official website of Beach House, the four-year-old,
two-person ""dream-pop"" duo, brings you to a single image of the
two acting like a pair of misfit, ironically swanky teens. You
can't see their faces. There is a sculpture of a head with multiple
faces in between them, and Victoria Legrand's hand is tucked into
her pants next to her belt buckle, where ""GIT SUM!"" has been
MSPainted in. To boot, the three links on the page—aside from those
accessing a new Teen Dream single—are miniscule and
hidden. As a whole, this is uncannily indicative of the unabashed
timidity and awkward social remoteness Beach House purvey through
their music.
