The Daily Cardinal presents: Summer 2014 music festival roundup

"Bonnaroo brings good vibrations for all"

The Daily Cardinal presents: Bonnaroo 2014

Going to Bonnaroo is a bit like going to a museum filled with lots of stuff to see in a short period of time—except hotter, dustier, and less judgmental. Everyone is trying to get a glimpse of as much as they can, but most know they’ll have a more intimate experience at their hometown venue when the new act comes to town. Trying to see as many performances as possible at Bonnaroo is surely a valid quest, but be prepared to make tough choices. There is too much going on to see it all, but that is also the beauty of Bonnaroo. It is complete sensory overload and you will be pissed at yourself that you had to pee twice during James Blake and that you had to choose between seeing The Flaming Lips, Frank Ocean and the Skrillex Superjam. Still, the four-day fest is completely exhilarating. And the moment you get on the freeway heading home tired and dirty in the middle of the night, you’ll immediately wish you were back on The Farm.

Students should make collegiate education choices

Welcome to college. More specifically, welcome to the University of Wisconsin –Madison. Your adventure into higher education is just around the corner so it is important to remember just what that means. This is your education. Not your parents’ or your grandparents’ or any other family member’s. While you may wish to follow in a family member’s footsteps and follow their career path, it is ultimately your decision to make. I know too many college students who are following a particular career path because it’s what their parents want them to do; and because their parents write out the tuition checks; they feel somehow obligated to them. If this sounds familiar, I implore you to sit down with your parents and have a serious talk with them.

America has more work, less pay

The time has come for me to bid farewell to this wonderful university, to The Daily Cardinal, and perhaps to writing opinion pieces. Before I embark upon my final call to action, I just want to thank all the people who have made it possible for me to do this for the past six years: all of my editors, past and present, my parents, my readers and my high school journalism teacher Mr. Matt Johnson. It has been a strange and remarkable journey that I have thoroughly enjoyed and it will always be special to me. I have chosen my final topic with great care.

3LAU mesmerizes Segredo crowd

On April 24, Las Vegas producer Justin “3LAU” Blau performed for a sold-out Segredo’s nightclub. This was his first show in Madison since rocking the Orpheum in October the same night as Freakfest, in the midst of State Street’s costumed calamity. After hearing the hype from all corners of Madison’s social spectrum from fall until now, in addition to several hours spent browsing SoundCloud, I knew I couldn’t afford to miss 3LAU again.

‘Bates Motel’ an uneasy take on Hitchcock

Let’s talk about Alfred Hitchcock—master of suspense and arguably categorized among some of the greatest American filmmakers of all time. One of his most acclaimed thrillers, as well as one of my personal favorites, was the 1960 American classic, “Psycho.” Some critics called it the most terrifying film ever made. It was not only groundbreaking stylistically but ideologically as well. Having wanted it to retain the look and feel of a cheap exploitation flick, “Psycho” featured sexually explicit content and brutal violence that was largely frowned upon by studio censors—it had a shower scene before the shower scene was a thing. Whether or not you agree, cinephiles of the last fifty years continue to applaud him as a pioneer in the industry for his precise pacing and ability to subvert our expectations through meticulous plot construction, impressive camerawork and clever editing, among other things.
