Running by the cons of winter

With freezing rain in the forecast and midterms every other Monday, it’s easy to get grumpy around this time of year.
Women's Soccer: Dramatic last minute goal stuns Badgers in loss to Nebraska
(10/19/13 5:19pm)
The Wisconsin women’s soccer team (3-3-1 Big Ten, 8-4-2 overall) suffered a dramatic loss to No. 22 Nebraska (6-1-0, 11-3-1), and current leader in the Big Ten conference, in the final seconds of a double overtime match at McClimon Soccer Complex Friday.
Wednesday Morning Tribute
(10/16/13 3:11am)
As you will recall if you read Page Two week to week, semester to semester, a columnist named Adam Wolf and I shared the page each Wednesday last year. While I tried to change my subject matter week to week with interesting and funny observations about life and media, Adam had a consistent set up in which he could write his article in 15 minutes and reap all the rewards that a successful Page Two columnist deserves: girls, money, fame, delusion. Now that Adam is presumably dead or graduated, I thought I would write my tribute to him and his infallible column. This is my Wednesday Morning Hangover.

Surviving exams, papers, projects, oh my!

Midterms. Papers. Projects. Group projects. How many major assignments and exams are on your schedule this week?
Have s'mores all year round
(10/02/13 6:50am)
Summer is officially over, meaning no more bonfires and no more of the famous campfire treat, s’mores. I am the biggest s’mores fan in the world, so I can’t wait until next summer to have my favorite tasty dessert. Luckily, I’ve found some simple s’mores recipes to help get me through fall, winter and spring.
Column: An Ohio State gameday experience from a Badger perspective

College football expands outside the jurisdiction of Madison, Wisconsin.
Volcano Choir blew away the Orpheum Friday
(09/30/13 4:14am)
The beauty of Volcano Choir is their appreciation for simplicity. Where most bands would start their shows by running on stage, playing their loudest, most adrenaline-inducing songs and basking in the applause and appreciation of 200 plus fans, Volcano Choir walked on slowly, beers in hand, with an attitude that seemed as if they would perform regardless even if no one bothered to attend the concert. Fans who knew what they were getting themselves into should have expected this. These men have proven on numerous occasions in their past endeavors that their talent will not be flaunted but rather, genuinely offered.
In defense of all those longer books
(09/25/13 5:19am)
A few weeks ago I had a nearly all-consuming desire to reread “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami. The reason eluded me at first. I may have attributed it to the fact that Murakami is one of my favorites, whose books always find their way into the flux of my reading rushes. I may have attributed this to the fact that I had the privilege of reviewing it when it came out in 2011 for this very publication, and thus would have enjoyed both a book and a nostalgic experience. I may have attributed it to the fact that I rather liked “1Q84” and it was due for a reread anyway.
A media culture of moral passivity
(09/24/13 5:44am)
It seems peculiarly coincidental. As Walter White’s story mercifully reaches its heart-palpation inducing finale, “Grand Theft Auto V” introduces a triumvirate of criminals ready to endear themselves to our sympathetic souls. Whether any of these characters are worthy of any misplaced adoration is another story. However, in the wake of Walter White’s defenders, even in these past few brutal weeks, examining the concept of passivity versus active participation in a madman’s activities seems pertinent.
Neighborhood Gems: A guide to Madison's most unique neighborhood bars
(09/23/13 7:20am)
If you look far and wide, in the crevices and basements and pockets of places you’d pass by otherwise, you’ll find these neighborhood spots that are like none other. If you take a chance on them and make the long trek, you’ll find yourself going back for more.

Football: Consistency main focus for Badgers' offense in Big Ten opener
(09/18/13 6:12am)
After a heartbreaking loss to Arizona State, the Badgers are working to put last week’s confusion in the rearview mirror as all eyes are turned toward the Badgers’ Big Ten opener against Purdue Saturday at Camp Randall.
My mantic Molskine menagerie
(09/11/13 4:07am)
Toward the end of August, an idea dawned on me that I wish had dawned on me sooner, since it (in retrospect) seems so obviously beneficial, munificent, edifying, etc. Toward the end of August, I bought a wordbook at the bookstore.

Five reasons Lollapalooza 2013 will be great
(08/02/13 3:45am)
It’s been a few years since I’ve stopped by Lollapalooza as distance and compounding prices have proved a more woeful deterrent than I’d expected, but this year, armed with my press pass, I’ve been mulling over all my fond memories of festivals past to get myself excited again. To get everyone else out there equally riled up, here’s a short list of the five primary reasons I’m getting antsy all over again for the Midwest’s biggest and showiest music festival.
Pitchfork Music Festival day two: The sound and the fury
(07/27/13 6:41am)
We entered Saturday with renewed spirits. We’d dried off and so had the world; nothing but blue skies and slightly less health-endangering heats awaited us. The plan was to get to Pitchfork at around 1 p.m. and catch White Lung and Pissed Jeans for a notably punk afternoon, but underestimating both Chicago traffic and the lunch rush threw us off and we arrived too late to do either. Instead we headed over towards the blue stage, our consistently shady bastion, to see Julia Holter.
An ode to the Pitchfork Music Festival
(07/17/13 7:34pm)
As much as Pitchfork gets a bad rap these days (I recently asked a “too-cool” friend of mine if he wanted to go see Pharmakon and Wolf Eyes, making the mistake of mentioning it was a Pitchfork sponsored event. He loves both acts, but responded, “that sounds like the worst thing ever,”) it’s hard to doubt the staff’s intentions and love of music. Even with all the ugly talk of “politics,” “agendas” and “taste making” surrounding their buzz band-birthing empire, you have to give them credit for building a truly devoted monument to the artists they cover. They do it all; interviews, music videos, cover stories, in-house sessions and more. Best of all, they put on the Pitchfork Music Festival every July at Union Park in Chicago.
