How do you know you’re awake right now? How can you be sure? Sure, you think you’re awake. You feel fully conscious and aware. You can see your surroundings. You can move and think and all of your sensory receptors feel active and operational. There are multiple states of being where one can experience all of the thoughts described above and one of them is the state of sleep.

This week’s graph charts offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, with bubble size representing Football Power Index. Teams in the top right quadrant have shown exceptional efficiency on both sides of the ball, and that’s likely where the four playoff teams will come from.
It’s Saturday. Your alarm rings at 6:30 a.m. You’ve been waiting for this day all week. You jump out of bed, turn the bass up on your stereo and throw on your bibs. The neighbors are already out celebrating on their porch. What day is it? It’s market day. Time to turnip the beet.
A few months ago friends and family would ask me what I was going to do this year. I would answer, “Just City Year, an Americorps program.”
Wavves, the surf-rock punks from So-Cal, came through Madison Monday to play a show at the Majestic. When I spoke with guitarist Alex Gates last week, he told me the only shows they’ve been doing since their last tour were one-offs in college towns. So, naturally, they felt right at home.
I’ve heard friends and music critics alike describe many an album as “timeless.” I more often than not agree with their selections; The Velvet Underground & Nico, Loveless and Endtroducing….. are just a few of the albums that still sound fresh when played today. But in the back of my mind, I fear that these albums just operate on a longer timeline, their relevancy decaying at an unnoticeable rate, but all the while still decaying.
In his early days, Mac Miller introduced the world to a young, talented rapper who no doubt had a long road ahead of him. His initial potential is finally realized in his third studio album, GO:OD AM, which shows the growth and slow maturation of a rapper still struggling to find his place in the world. It is a culmination of his life so far, touching on his rise to fame, his fall into drug addiction and the long, painful road ahead of him. Although this album is less melancholy than its predecessor, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, GO:OD AM’s ’90s-inspired beats, coupled with the smooth, slow instrumentals on some of the songs, bring out a tone of misery across the album. This highlights Miller’s struggles over the past few years and lets the audience see into his world.

The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards stormed onto prime time Sunday, with Taylor Swift taking home two major awards and Kanye West receiving the Michael Jackson Vanguard Video Award.

It’s not discussed too often, but musical composition is wedded to mathematics. The way certain frequencies and tones sound good together is an artistic extension of physical laws that govern our universe. We currently live in an era of human technology where a computer program can make a piano composition so genuine that humans can’t distinguish its creation from a fellow human’s. Slowly, every part of our society that we used to accredit to mysticism and luck can now be explained by modern mathematical algorithms. Perhaps not in our lifetimes, but soon enough maybe even the human brain will be seen as nothing more than a series of biological wires and programming.
It’s official. In the wake of probing by the Department of Justice and a deluge of citizen backlash, Comcast, the country’s largest Internet and cable provider, will not move forward with its plan to acquire Time Warner, the country’s second largest Internet and cable provider. Unless you’re Satan, this is great news. Taken with the recent decision on the part of the Federal Communications Commission to uphold net neutrality, there appears to be a glimmer of hope that the rules of our media landscape aren’t yet written completely by the telecommunications behemoths.
