Eels frontman and songwriter E (born Mark Oliver Everett) has been a lot of things: gas station attendant, quirky pop songwriter, MC Honky and now, with the 33 track Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, he has become Sam's Club, without the unholy Wal-Mart association.
In 1989, a small group of activists united by causes ranging from nuclear disarmament to opposition to the South African apartheid, agreed to volunteer their time, and open their wallets, to create an alternative bookstore based on co-operative principals.

Students on a budget who want to get cheap clothing and food may face changes in the places they shop after Madison's City Council voted yesterday to adopt the Third Substitute Ordinance, more commonly known as the Big Box Ordinance that puts restrictions on the development and remodeling of large-scale retail stores.
Because of the public perception of UW-Madison's student body as being dominated by the radical left and the high regard generally given to its academic programs, this school has long held the reputation as the \Berkeley of the Midwest."" But does this view hold true, or has radical idealism been replaced in the majority of the student body by consumerism and armchair liberalism? While the majority of politically motivated students on campus could be described as strongly liberal, if you define political involvement as something more time-intensive than voting in national elections, that group is surprisingly small.
Take three domestic issues recently in the news: PBS is worried about losing its funding, the military is resorting to video games to entice young recruits and Wal-Mart's in-store television network is now the fifth most-watched network in the nation.
There is no question that Wal-Mart is a commercial empire that has rendered even its most robust predecessors puny. In terms of growth, market share and revenue, Wal-Mart stands alone in human history. If Wal-Mart were a country, its economy would be the fifteenth largest in the world, outpacing even highly developed countries like Austria, Switzerland and Sweden. All the empire is missing is a Death Star, and with a quarter of a trillion dollars in annual revenues, I wouldn't put it past them.
Deep within the electronics department of Wal-Mart lies one of the great mysteries of the retail universe: the DVD bargain bin. Standing approximately five feet tall and all of it filled with movies, the bargain bin holds some of the worst films imaginable, yet within its wire frame contains an education in DVD shopping and sometimes even some hidden treasure.
There are a myriad of performers who have garnered a substantial following thanks to random but memorable supporting performances, but very few who are routinely stylized enough prompt the invention of new words to describe their uniqueness. In the overwhelming majority of the films he appears in, Christopher Walken doesn't necessarily act; he \Walkenizes"" his way through his lines, giving them a nearly indescribable sense of eccentricity that has become his specialty. Whether he's proclaiming himself to be the anti-Christ in ""True Romance"" or emoting about the quality of Marie Callenders' pastries in ""Gigli,"" his Walkenizing creates a mesmerizing vibe of weirdness that is splendidly off-kilter. Occasionally though, Walken settles down and reminds us that he is one of the most talented actors of his generation.
The re-election (or initial election) of George W. Bush last week has sent shock waves through the Madison left and liberals across the country. Bush's victory in the popular vote and the increased Republican majorities in both the House and Senate have left a wake of confusion, despair and anger.
In a move that is sure to raise a few eyebrows, corporate giant Wal-Mart announced yesterday that it is canceling its orders for the new Jon Stewart book \America (The Book),"" citing one section as too inappropriate for release in stores.
For the first time in my three years here at UW-Madison, my aggregate weekly coffee expenses have outpaced my alcohol expenses, a new trend in my life that I had never even remotely anticipated.
While many in the U.S. are consumed with the war in Iraq and the coming elections, it's vital to remember that other struggles are still silently raging on. Some of the world's greatest injustices occur in relative silence and some of the policies with far-reaching global impact are passed with minimal public input. We are slowly becoming aware of the importance of global economic policy, but few citizens know the difference between the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank. Yet these institutions and the agreements they help to form dictate the geography of poverty and decide the difference between civil rights and barriers to trade.
It is easy for college students to reach into their back pockets and find an extra dollar.

An enthusiastic crowd of students and other Madison residents filled the Wisconsin Union Theater to near capacity Wednesday evening to hear independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader address the university community.
Wisconsin is by and large a suburban state. Most in-state students come from towns characterized by cul-de-sacs, malls and McDonald's. Virtually the only way to tell if you are in Appleton, Green Bay, or Eau Claire is by looking at what high school is supported by the stickers on the area residents' bumpers. Madison, being a college town, has thankfully been bereft of such local insubstantialities. However, this charm is currently being threatened by a new influx of corporate behemoths. In order to protect what makes Madison great, we need to support local businesses against their national competitors.
