The Daily Cardinal recently spoke with Wisconsin native and co-founder of the Found Footage Festival, Nick Prueher, about the unique artform of found footage and the festival’s upcoming show “Best of the Midwest” at the Barrymore Theatre Nov. 30.
A little while back my girlfriend went to a My Bloody Valentine show. I don’t know exactly what she was expecting (“I’ve never really listened to Loveless but it makes great study music,” she said to me a little while prior—not a wrong statement at all, though certainly not how I think of MBV), but what she got seemed to surprise her. She enjoyed it, but found the noisier aspects of the show a bit unnerving. Choice texts on the matter included “I wish I could wear two pairs of ear plugs at once.” When the band closed with their standard 30-minute take on “You Made Me Realize”—about 10 percent of which was actual song and the rest monstrous waves of 130-decibel feedback—she considered leaving early.
I’ve been a fan of J.J. Abrams for a long time. He’s made one of my favorite TV shows—“Lost”—and some damn good movies to boot. However, judging by the previews for his new show, “Almost Human,” it seems like the show is going to go down some well-traveled TV drama paths.

Gather ‘round folks, and I shall spin you a yarn. It’s a mighty tale that I’ve to tell. A tale of men. A tale of movies. A tale standing taller than the mightiest oak in the forest. A legend, more accurately—a legend about roller disco.
Sometimes, public figures will actually grace us with some incredible quotes. There’s nothing I appreciate more than a verbal faux-pas, especially from someone famous or someone I despise. So, over the years, in a navy spiral notebook, I’ve written down some of the most notable and confusing of these. Let me share:
Late last week, Sullivan Hall, a venue in New York City’s Greenwich Village, closed unexpectedly after a 17 year run.
One month is up, and Communion is back for its second installment in Madison. With it comes Tennis, the nostalgic, pop-rock duo from Colorado. Although their home is in the mountains, the married couple’s first album was conceived on a trip that helped give the band national attention: an eight-month sailing trip down the eastern seaboard. I spoke with lead singer Alaina Moore about the trip, as well as their newest release, Small Sound.
Despite how ridiculously expensive tuition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison gets, one thing I will not gripe about paying is the student segregated fee that all UW-Madison students pay equally regardless of residency, year or school. UW-Madison’s segregated fees are taxes that are tacked onto our semester tuition that add a little over $1,000 to our overall tuition and fees annually.
Cate Le Bon’s third studio album, Mug Museum, should have been a return to form for the Welsh singer. Cyrk, released in 2012, was a fever dream of metaphors about death and lost love, with Cate Timothy’s vocals floating over the listener’s head.
This past week my mother forwarded a link to an article published in The New York Times. She did not mention anything about the content of the article besides the fact that it was about the Koch Brothers funding political advertisements. I expected to read about the Koch brothers paying for advertisements in a gubernatorial election or a mayoral race in a large city. After all, these two brothers are notorious for lucratively funding conservative political action committees, and they were the second largest contributors to Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign for governor in 2010. To my surprise, this article had nothing to with the gubernatorial election in Virginia or the mayoral election in New York. Rather, this article was about city council elections in Coralville, Iowa. The article detailed how Americans for Prosperity, a political action committee largely funded by the Koch Brothers, had become involved in these races. In a town of approximately 20,000 people, the two Koch brothers, each valued at $36 billion, were trying to influence the election with their money. This was shocking to me. Typically, these elections are not highly contested and they normally go unpublicized. This changed with the Koch brothers. Outside help was being brought in to run candidate campaigns and candidates were being forced to change their platforms. One candidate had planned a campaign on smaller issues such as painting the water tower. However, after Americans for Prosperity came to town, everything changed. Central debates of the campaign were shifted toward issues that pertained to Koch Brothers’ business interests. To me, the Koch brothers’ goal was clear. As much as they tried to disguise their intentions, it was clear control was the end goal. They wished to control government and create policies favorable to their interests. Apparently, no election is too small to buy.
What, or more specifically, who is a man? Is he a product of some nebulous inner force, or is he rather the sum of the externalities that influence his lifestyle and behavior? Can one person force another to be something they aren’t, or will a person always possess enough free will to preserve their identity and their consciousness? Is identity itself a malleable and programmable force?
So I saw “12 Years a Slave,” and it was remarkable. You should all see it. It’s beautifully shot and acted, it’s an incredible story, or at least I wish it was incredible, and it’s told as well as any other.
Invasive species are one of the most important issues facing aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems today. No self-respecting ecologist would say otherwise.
A busy state Senate session turned heated Tuesday as senators lodged accusations of racism and cultural insensitivity before Republicans, in a 17-16 vote, narrowly passed a bill that would increase the difficulty in raising complaints over state schools’ mascots and nicknames.
Now that the first annual YouTube Music Awards are over, Spike Jonze’s—director of the ceremony—comments now seem like more of a warning than a statement of creative ambition. Jones told The New York Times he hoped the live event would become a “fun mess,” not something you expect to hear from someone putting together an internationally-streamed award show.
Local food cart owners expressed concerns to the Vending Oversight Committee Wednesday about the selection process of food carts that appear on Library Mall and at the Dane County Farmer’s Market.
The city of Madison kicked off a project Tuesday to create a permanent public market that would feature diverse food, music and art for the Madison community.
You’ve just moved into an empty, back-lot apartment accessible only by a dumpster-laden alley and neither of your roommates will arrive for a few weeks. What could you possibly do to entertain yourself on a Tuesday night?
Just like most students at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, I find myself constantly raving to my friends back home about how unbelievable my college experience has been. I also constantly find myself saying that I go to the best school in the entire country.
