Okay so straight up, the thing I want to talk about is the Mini Indie Film Festival which is happening this weekend, because golly gee is it cool. While I am super biased given that I helped put it together, I also think that the idea of a completely free, student organized and run independent film festival is incredibly cool. So take it as you will. Anyway, here’s the lineup.
Just a little over nine months ago, AJ Davila of Puerto Rican garage rock band Davila 666 released his first solo piece, Terror/Amor, via Nacional Records. Davila has released his sophomore album Beibi alongside a new Davila 666 album, on top of touring the U.S. with both projects. For Beibi, Davila moved over to Burger Records, a DIY-based independent label that promotes its music organically through vinyl, cassettes and insane tour caravans of outrageous garage/punk rock bands throughout the country. Burger’s focus on the audacious purity of rock ’n’ roll parallels immaculately with Davila’s Beibi, one of the best “sugary, flower-punk” garage albums of the year (since Terror/Amor, of course).
No. 2 seed Wisconsin defeated Illinois 2-0 Wednesday in the first round of the Big Ten tournament in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Wednesday night, MacArthur fellows Chris Thile & Edgar Meyer graced the Wisconsin Union Theater in support of their new album Bass & Mandolin. It was a stunning technical performance, though often very dissonant and challenging to the listener. The audience was not at all put off by the complicated rhythms and shifting harmonic structures, instead meeting the performers with laughter, approval, and multiple standing ovations.
J Mascis’s last record, Tied To A Star, was far more subtle than Dinosaur Jr.’s power-trio theatrics normally lend themselves to. Mascis, the lead guitar-player and vocalist for the Massachusetts alternative rock legends, turned in his thundering riffs and blazing solos for a gently picked acoustic guitar and meditative falsetto. While his fluid electric guitar stylings would occasionally make themselves known in Tied to a Star’s more dynamic moments, it was still largely another Mascis acoustic album.
EVANSTON, Ill.—Wisconsin began its Big Ten schedule with a humiliating road loss to Northwestern Saturday in a game that should have served as a springboard into the rest of conference play.
So there’s this really terrific film called “Belle,” and if you haven’t seen it I really recommend it. The premise is (basically) that the mixed race daughter of an English admiral runs into trouble when she tries to be a black person in 18th century Britain. It intelligently tackles social and racial issues, it’s visually stunning, and the cast, especially star Gugu Mbatha-Raw and veteran Tom Wilkinson, give fantastic performances.
In 1997 The Dismemberment Plan wrote a song titled “Do the Standing Still” for their sophomore album The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified. Aside from being a showcase for Travis Morrison’s goofier proclivities, it also works as a sad monument for the gradual, sloping decline of indie rock.
This Sunday, Madison residents from all walks of life gathered in the new Central Park for the first ever Yum Yum Fest, a festival fusing gourmet food and Midwestern music.
University of Wisconsin-Madison chemistry professor Laura Kiessling and her lab published new findings regarding stem cell differentiation Monday, according to a university press release.

Hear ye, hear ye! For those of you enamored with cacophonic punk-styled rock, then the High Noon Saloon should be your primary destination Friday night. May 2, Cloud Nothings, alongside Fire Retarded and Protomartyr, will be bringing their mutual noisiness together under one roof, ready to blow off that aforementioned ceiling.
So, over the weekend I got to spend some time with E.L. Katz and Pat Healy, who respectively directed and starred in the new film “Cheap Thrills,” and I learned a thing or two. I learned about Danish people. I learned about what really matters when you’re making a movie. I found out that some men can just rock a mustache. And I learned that sometimes light and dark can blend together beautifully.
I’m going to make a claim: Mary Willingham can’t read.
