University of Wisconsin-Madison Marching Band Director Michael Leckrone reminded the sickly members of his band Wednesday not to play one another’s instruments at their weekend parties.
Nashville band The Wild Feathers has had an unflagging career thus far; after forming in 2010, the band gained national prominence opening for Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, all before the release of their debut album, The Wild Feathers, in August 2013. Now engaging on their first headlining tour, this old-fashioned rock and roll band (as vocalist/acoustic guitarist Ricky Young preferred to label The Wild Feathers) is stoked to be on the road.
The first time I heard Big Gigantic, I had no idea what I was hearing. In fact, as far as I can remember, it was my first experience actively listening to electronic music. One of my best friends, a jazz saxophonist who I played with in bands in high school, was immersed in the electronic dance music, or EDM, culture. At some point I must have let it slip the only electronic music I knew about consisted of a few Daft Punk hits and the generic “dubstep” music that echoed through the hallways of our high school around 2009—because he then saw it as his responsibility to educate me, for which I am eternally grateful. Given his profound taste for jazz and the fact we were both instrumentalists, it makes perfect sense Big Gigantic was his first recommendation.
State Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo, announced Friday his decision not to run for re-election to the state Assembly in 2014, according to a release.
January has come and gone. Its passing marks the end of yet another season of the show we love to hate: “American Horror Story.” Let me preface this by admitting I was once a fan of its hijinks. The first season had me teetering on obsession. While other, more proactive students focused on expanding their intelligence, I was engrossed in the fictional world of haunted houses, gruesome murders and unrelenting mystery. Sure, I recognized its flair for the ridiculous—at times it resembled a trip through the halls of a bad haunted house, simultaneously inducing both frights and laughter. But I didn’t care—it was wildly entertaining.
Monday Aug. 5, 2013, seemingly out of nowhere, the United States Hockey League (USHL) announced a new team in Madison, Wis.
What’s immediately striking about the Real/Surreal exhibit is how effectively it sucks you into its domain. The gallery itself, located on the second floor of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA), is as much an unnerving display of surrealistic tendencies as the art it showcases. When you first walk in, the room opens up into slanted walls displaying the pieces of the exhibit, all slightly ajar from the implied centers of the walls, and the viewer instantly feels slightly off balance.
Dane County Humane Society is a non-profit organization with a mission to help both animals and people to learn how to assist animals in need.

They provide wildlife rehabilitation, stray animal holding, adoption service and spay and neutering services to animals from the southern Wisconsin area.
1. Kanye West—Yeezus
Nineteen-year-old Jake Bugg wowed the U.K. with his self-titled debut album in late 2012, but the indie grassroots rocker didn’t have as much success in the U.S. when he released the album here in April 2013. The most publicity he’s gotten in the States has probably been his recent Twitter throw-down with the pop sensation boys of One Direction, where he (being the angsty British punk he is) publicly insulted their musical abilities. They got really upset and he got absolutely butchered by teenage girls and the media. But, despite being number one on U.K. charts and no higher than 75 on the U.S. billboard charts, Jake Bugg decided to make a move to California and record his sophomore album, Shangri La (named after the Malibu studio where it was recorded), with American producer Rick Rubin.
So there’s a rad thing happening in Madison next weekend. Actually, rad doesn’t quite catch it. There’s an incredible thing happening next weekend in Madison.
Some trips go according to plan. Others might involve unexpected encounters with animals, brief bouts of illness, major navigational errors and/or having to wait an extremely long period of time before getting to use the bathroom.
Being from far away, I don’t get to see my family and friends from back home as often as I’d like. But fortunately, every once in a while, I’ll receive a call that someone is stopping through the Midwest. Such was the case a few weeks ago when my friend from the East Coast called to tell me she and her boyfriend would be in Madison for a weekend.
It was not the news I was expecting to wake up to Sunday morning: Lou Reed dies at 71.
Some things in life are certain. Death, taxes and the Badgers having a strong run game are the three that instantly come to mind.
Stop posting pictures or statuses about illegal activities on Facebook. According to Nolo-Law for All, two thirds of all recruiters and half of employers research their applicants’ online presence. Employers have been known to turn down applicants because of a negative photo, status or “about” page on their Facebook account.
Telltale Games is no longer making adventure titles. There is no sequence of puzzles hidden around a sprawling environment for you to explore. The inventory tends to stay hidden off to the side. A forgotten relic of the past is rarely brought back into relevance. For a studio founded on honoring a once-dead genre, Telltale is severing ties with its heritage. As it turns out, stripping away genre conventions has made Telltale the most relevant storyteller in the industry right now.
It’s late October. The leaves have only just started to dress themselves in soft, pastel yellows and brilliant reds. An electric chill is in the air, and you can smell the musty tang of cold, damp earth as your boots crunch through a blanket of dead leaves. You reach Picnic Point at sunset, and the burnt umber essence of crackling pine warms your party’s trembling fingers. Marshmallows are passed around, maybe followed by sticks to toast them and that one guy fusses over getting his s’more EXACTLY right. Everybody swaps stories, laughter and a few terrible jokes.
This past week, Michael Jordan made a comment that would again fuel the Jordan and LeBron James dispute.
