One attractive aspect of the UW-Madison campus is the Terrace at Memorial Union. It is a place for students relax with some friends, drink a pitcher and when the weather gets warm, enjoy a bit of music while the westerly breezes roll off Lake Mendota.
A music genre is in dire straits when the best album it has to boast in recent memory can be best described as 'a very solid album.' Well, for some time now, heavy metal has been that genre, and Lullabies to Paralyze, the new album from alt-metal stalwarts Queens of the Stone Age, is that very solid album.
When a new band forms and makes waves, many critics and fans anticipate success for their debut album. The debut sets the stage for a band to define its style, genre, talent and direction.
Music abhors a vacuum. No musician in history has been able to escape comparisons to those who came before, ever since the first primitive percussionists were inspired by the sound a rock made when it was used to cave in an enemy's skull. The U.K.'s Kasabian are just as indebted to their influences as those early hominids, and maybe 19 percent as violent.
No St. Patrick's Day would be complete without some good, old-fashioned dancing. When alcohol and good company combine, someone will be doing a jig and waving a glass before morning. Whether caught up in the wonderful energy of a classic Irish drinking song or another track that simply sings the praises of everyone's favorite intoxicant, something about the holiday particularly demands good music. The Daily Cardinal offers up some suggested listening for your drunken St. Patrick's Day debauchery.
Some albums pack such a punch that after completing the last track, the listener feels like he has been run over by an AstroVan full of rock 'n' roll. Other albums are so tame the listener is practically asleep by the time the album finishes. Almost Here, the debut album by Chicago five-piece The Academy Is..., falls exactly in the middle of these two musical extremes.
The delayed debut of LCD Soundsystem, a.k.a. James Murphy, may have been a blessing in disguise. Murphy sat back and watched the next big thing, dance-punk, quickly rise and fall; many of the leading bands of the movement either moved in a different direction, like The Liars, or failed to release a consistent album after successful EPs, like !!!. The dream of dancing to rock music faded and indie kids returned from the dance floor and resumed crossing their arms. The cynicism that has recently surrounded this dubious genre did not affect Murphy one bit.
Last week the pop/punk trio Blink-182 announced they are going on hiatus of an indefinite length: \While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring,"" the band's management said in a statement on Blink's website. Rumors of a permanent breakup swirled the Internet, and when I read the rumors, I almost passed out.
Fighting the competition from such radio-crowding rockers as Franz Ferdinand or the Killers, Hidden in Plain View has the ability to prolong the attention span of the suburban masses who have found solace in pop punk with their latest album Life in Dreaming.
Goldfinger has shown their fans many sides. They were an upstart punk/ska outfit when they released their self-titled debut album in 1996. Their extraordinary live show was perfectly timed for the ska revival of the mid-to-late '90s.
It is hard to miss the campus chalkings from UW-Madison student group Stop the War, but the organization is greater than simply pigment on pavement.

Legendary British disc jockey John Peel suffered a fatal heart attack while vacationing in Peru with his wife on Tuesday.
It happened to Milli Vanilli and ruined their careers, one of the scariest things that could ever happen live on-stage to a performer, a malfunction of the pre-recorded vocals. It happened, once again, during the most recent episode of \Saturday Night Live."" Was it a Halloween curse? No. Instead, it was bad talent at its finest, the perfect scare in the career of Miss Ashlee Simpson.
