Although shy, new album is still a 'dream'
(01/28/10 6:00am)
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.
Reduce risk of stalking through awareness
(01/27/10 6:00am)
Does this sound familiar? For a while now, someone you know has been calling you repeatedly and inquiring about your whereabouts. Sometimes, the caller hangs up immediately after you answer the phone. You are receiving unwanted e-mails, letters and gifts. You even suspect that your e-mail and Facebook accounts are being monitored. In other words, you are being stalked.
'Legion': a God-awful movie
(01/25/10 6:00am)
Somewhere in the world, there is a very happy 13-year-old Evangelical Christian boy. After years of struggling to find a happy compromise between Bible-thumping religiosity and the bullet-riddled fight scenes of modern action flicks, Hollywood has finally melded the two together in the most maladroitly literal way possible. With the release of ""Legion,"" hyperactive Sunday school graduates have finally realized their ultimate wet dream fantasy: angels fighting with machine guns.
Wisconsin trudging along without Leuer's presence
(01/21/10 6:00am)
The effect of junior forward Jon Leuer's hiatus was in plain sight Wednesday night and put Wisconsin in an unfamiliar place at the Kohl Center—trailing its opponent.
Haneke thrives in thought-provoking 'White Ribbon'
(01/10/10 6:00am)
Why a period film set in rural Germany just prior to World War I, and why now? ""The White Ribbon,"" the latest from Austrian director Michael Haneke, has loomed large in the film community's collective consciousness for many months now (it won the Palme d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival). The film recently kicked off its first theatrical run here in the U.S., where Haneke is already something of an established entity—you might know him as the director of 2005's ""Caché"" or 2008's ""Funny Games."" Haneke, whose three favored vibes are grim, bleak and stern, can finally wear the crown as contemporary cinema's king of the über-serious: ""The White Ribbon"" is his most intellectually satisfying work to date.
Marathon road trip ends in Milwaukee
(12/10/09 6:00am)
Last season, the Wisconsin women's basketball team won just five regular season games away from the Kohl Center. This Friday night, the Badgers have a chance to eclipse last season's road victory total with a win over Marquette. That game also marks the conclusion to a brutal 15-day, six-game road trip for the team.
Career advisors optimistic despite economic woes
(12/10/09 6:00am)
There is no arguing that first-time job hunters have faced especially tough challenges over the past year because of the economic downturn, though surprisingly, many campus advisers are optimistic about the job prospects for current students.

(12/07/09 6:00am)

Ask the Deer Cardinal

Deer Cardinal,
Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago a positive cultural experience
(11/09/09 6:00am)
So last week's decrying of Lil Jon was fun, but a ranting column like that is not very productive without alternatives and guidance, so running it concerned me and got me thinking.
Obama's acceptance of Nobel Prize politically irresponsible, undeserved
(11/05/09 6:00am)
A roomful of reporters simultaneously gasped in shock. Thørbjorn Jagland, leader of the Nobel Committee, had just announced Barack Obama, a man who had been inaugurated president of the United States only twelve days before the February 1 nomination deadline for the prize, as the committee's selection from a field of 205 candidates for 2009. In the United States, the reaction was similar. Republicans, and even many Democrats, wondered what Obama could have done in 12 days to warrant being nominated for the prize and how what he had done in less than nine months as president could have warranted winning it. Obama himself seemed surprised. ""To be honest,"" he said, ""I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize.""
Girly themes from Clare
(11/05/09 6:00am)
It's not easy being a female artist these days. With so much estrogen-driven talent already permeating the radio waves from artists like Regina Spektor, Rilo Kiley and Cat Power, it can be difficult for the other girls to get a note in edgewise. Clare and the Reasons, however, remain undaunted by this intimidating group of artists with the release of their latest album, Arrow.
Saying goodbye to our costumed personas
(11/02/09 6:00am)
Congratulations, you survived Halloween!
Time for hockey to return to glory
(10/29/09 6:00am)
The mantle for Badger athletics is usually carried by football and basketball, two sports that have a certain style to them. Both have an aura of teams that boast less talent than top foes, but can hang with the best due to strong fundamentals, good coaching and a slow-paced, disciplined approach. Furthermore, neither sport was considered a powerhouse in any fashion before 1990, and since have been seen as spunky overachievers.
How did Halloween start?
(10/28/09 6:00am)
Candy and costumes dominate the UW-Madison campus when Halloween arrives. Students leave Walgreens carrying candy bags the size of pillowcases and insist that their parties be ""costumes-only."" Such things raise the question of why this holiday came to be centered on candy and dressing up.
Obama coming to Madison to speak next week

Film critic free-for-all: 'Humpday'
(10/19/09 6:00am)
‘Humpday' irreverent and hilarious
Walk on the 'Wild' side
(10/18/09 6:00am)
Max isn't like other kids. He's introverted, aggressive and moody. Despite learning advanced astronomy in class, he still hides in blanket forts in his room, issuing commands to his army of stuffed animals. He moves from happily throwing snowballs to crying silently at his departing sister to destroying her room in a furious tantrum. And despite this, he is a king.
