This place is easy to miss when walking down State Street. With a side entrance next to Urban Outfitters and a second-floor location that overlooks State Street Brats, unknowingly passing by Madison's newest radio station is not hard to do.
Southern Records' five piece, Check Engine, recently made a stop at Madison's Club 770, leaving the audience with pounding hearts and throbbing ears. Incorporating two members of Sweep the Leg Johnny, Check Engine gives off more energy than a snorted pixie stick with their swooping hooks and pounding beats demanding attention. The Daily Cardinal recently spoke with lead vocalist and guitarist Joe Cannon about Check Engine's rock style and song writing, the Chicago music scene and the definition of pop.
I was skinny once. For about four years, between my freshman year of high school and my freshman year of college, I was skinny. Really skinny, actually. Skinny enough that I could wear just about anything. Skinny enough that my stomach was completely flat. Skinny enough that I got woozy from low blood sugar in between my sparse nonfat meals. Skinny enough that I was, by the beauty standards of our culture, skinny enough.
Elizabeth Elmore hasn't exactly followed the regular career arc for an indie-rock musician. After forming the pop-punk band Sarge in 1995, she achieved moderate success, with Sarge being named by Rolling Stone as the Hot New Band of 1998. In 1999, though, Elmore enrolled in the Northwestern Law School and Sarge imploded soon after. Now on a leave of absence from school, Elmore has formed a new band, Reputation, who plays at Club 770 tonight. She discussed her new musical compatriots and other matters with the Cardinal.
The child of twisted folk musicians Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, Rufus Wainwright was welcomed to the music industry with universal high praise for his 1998 self-titled debut. Last years Poses garnered even better reviews for the self-declared \gay opera queen,"" by keeping the trademark lush arrangements more focused. The Daily Cardinal got the man on the horn recently, where he espoused eloquently between gulps of chowder.
WSUM student radio will fill a long-standing gap in Madison radio when it hits the airwaves at 2:22 p.m. Friday, on 91.7 FM.
Tomorrow is Abraham Lincoln's birthday and as a history major, I feel it's my duty to educate people about the life of Mr. Lincoln. I've already told you all you need to know about George Washington, namely that he lived in the 18th century, swore and got punked by the French when he was younger and now I'd like to do the same for Lincoln, who was an even greater president than Washington was.
I was lucky enough to get in touch with my good friend Wesley Willis before a performance on Monday at the Replay Lounge in Lawrence, Kansas. Not wanting to take up too much of his preshow time, I kept the interview brief.
Still listening to that \Wayne's World"" soundtrack tape you got in the fifth grade? Does the genre ""alternative"" still mean something to you? Cardinal Arts is happy to provide help with a list of essential albums for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. By no means is this list exhaustive, but it's a good start.
Rock 'n' roll is certainly aging. If you're an undergrad, there's a fair chance that it's older than your parents. On the surface, the releases of 2001 don't show the artistic maturity you'd expect this aging to bring. However, once you start digging through stacks of releases, you'll get beyond that glossy outer shell of regurgitated pop and bear witness to a thriving world of shrewd underground music.
Flowing from campus to the Capitol, State Street has long been a carotid artery of Madison culture. Its range of entertainment bridges opera and bars, night clubs and poetry readings. Yet one of State Street's most unique forms of culture is often literally passed by. Street musicians are as essential to the character of State Street as the color green is to trees.
We all know that the old-school beef-on-record phenomenon has never died. The media blew up the east-west thing until it was all that people could think of to explain the Pac-Big tragedy. I'm not going to call that one beef; it was simply a misunderstanding between friends that could not be resolved before time ran out. Who knows who was really winding the clock? Marley and Shan made \The Bridge,"" and then Chris and BDP made "" The Bridge is Over."" Cool J and Mo Dee, of course, had their storied episodes, and then LL played the punk role and wrote his dis verse after Canibus' was already laid down. The shame is that Can-I-bus' career has been minimal at best (good thing he studied computer science), and as a result garners little credit for his immense gift with words.
Things they are a-changin'. Madison is in the midst of a huge transition with respect to its art scene. With the highs and lows of recent years, the near future seems to hold vast improvement for the music scene and possibly the performance and visual arts.
