Fresh off her breakthrough album “Jubilee,” there was little question Michelle Zauner and her entourage that makes up Japanese Breakfast would bring the energy on a Saturday night in Madison.
Tragic news, folks. Freakfest, Madison’s iconic downtown Halloween celebration, will be cancelled for the second year in a row due to COVID-19.
As the son of an opera singer, and a self-proclaimed fan of artists ranging from MF DOOM to The National, rising artist Bartees Strange is no stranger to various genres. It makes sense, then, that his set at the Memorial Union Terrace on Sept. 12 was somewhat of a melting pot of different musical elements from rock to folk to rap, which was perfect — there was something in store for everybody.
Cards Against Humanity has become a mainstay of dorm life. It’s a great way to get to know your neighbors and be a little raunchy while you’re at it, but it’s not for everyone and it can certainly get old.
Kanye West is a new man. Or should we call him Ye, as that’s what he officially applied to change his name to. Whether anyone calls him that or not, it’s just one of the many changes the man formerly known as Kanye West has gone through since his last release, JESUS IS KING in 2019.
Following the release of her fifth studio album Saint Cloud in March of 2020, Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee is set to perform this Friday at The Sylvee. An album decorated with nature motifs, a chilling sense of calmness and an ode to the ones she loves, Saint Cloud is a bluesy album that is perfect for the changing of the seasons.
The Madison concert scene will return in full force this fall. With a sprawling slate of shows lined up, there’s something for everyone as we welcome back the joy of live performance. There’s a fantastic mix of newer and classic artists, with some up-and-coming newbies along with some big-time names. Here are some of the highlights from a loaded lineup:
Fried images. Terrible fonts. Oversaturated colors.
Walking into the venue for Cabinet of Curiosity's “Sea Change”, a feeling of familial intimacy might wash over you. Metal chairs that anyone might find in storage are arranged in rows and create makeshift aisles in a gravel parking lot. Standing speakers blast the calls of seagulls, the crashing of waves, and the rollings of thunder as audience members search for whatever empty seats were left. Performers, stagehands and other staff hustle around the hulking ship set making last minute preparations. It feels like cousins and other distant relatives had called all members of the family to report to the backyard to witness a play or musical number they'd been practicing all day. In a word, it feels like home.
My introduction to late-night television was very recent. I remember utilizing shows by the likes of Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers to understand the partisan political landscape in America, starting when I got elected as an opinion editor at the Cardinal back in December 2019. At first, I couldn’t stop watching. The YouTube algorithm loves the monologue content these shows produce, and I found myself deep in a rabbit hole. At the time, I quite liked it. The shows seemed clever to me then, I must embarrassingly admit.
Music has many geographical hotbeds that consistently produce artists with an undeniable impact on culture. The same can be said about other forms of human expression, such as visual arts, literature and sports. Where one is from has a sizable impact on what their expression looks like.
Over the past three months, a lot has come out, a lot has charted, a lot has not, a lot has spoken to the moment and a lot has failed to do so. Looking back on this spring semester The Daily Cardinal is happy to share some of their favorite binges that have helped them navigate the crazy, tumultuous times of Spring 2021.
Every great musician is one of a kind, but the biographies of great musicians — or more precisely their biopics — end up looking pretty much alike. Childhood trauma is followed by success and its consequences, usually including addiction and love trouble. A chronicle of artistic triumph doubles as a cautionary tale, with ruin and redemption wrapped around each other. If all else fails, the soundtrack music offers occasional reminders of why we should care.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology (SoHE) strives to cultivate a deeper understanding of human relationships in communities and environment. One exploration of these connections is through material history. The Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection in SoHE houses over 13,000 textiles, each with distinct origins and histories. The University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Design and Material Culture (CDMC) manages the collection, organizes tours and hosts events like the Textiles from Home exhibition. Little prior knowledge about textiles or material culture is necessary to appreciate the history behind these artifacts or to enjoy the beauty they hold.
Driven by alternative folk-rock, wanderlust and nostalgia, Lana Del Rey's seventh studio album, 'Chemtrails Over the Country Club,' has created yet another immersive world for her listeners. The release features Del Rey taking her audience through a detailed description of trying to make it in the music industry, from her teenage day job to her friendship with Stevie Nicks. Each song feels like Del Rey is reading a chapter of her life to her fans, weaving glimpses of her memories into a musical experience that incorporates psychedelic sultry soft rock, her alternative roots and a first-time flirtation with country music.
I broke my leg a few weeks ago.
As a child I spent more time reading and living through other characters than I did living through myself. Books were so much safer and I got to read them at night when no one else was there to bother me, with my flashlight hidden under the covers and scheming on how to convince my mother that I had not stayed up till 4 a.m. finishing the last of the Princess Diaries.
“The Father” drops your heart and lets it shatter into a myriad of pieces. As the credits begin to roll, each fragment begins to come to rest, far away from the others. The film ends with you in that state, heartbroken, reeling. You are left to attempt to gather all the shards and put them back together, but it is not easy. Writer-director Florian Zeller has created an ineffably powerful experience.
From “Parks and Rec” sensation to now director and critically acclaimed actress, Amy Poehler recently adapted the book “Moxie” into a Netflix original. Starring as the accomplished single mom to Vivian, a young junior in high school. The movie came out March 3, with a soundtrack of 90s alt rock feminist bangers and received a 68% on rotten Tomatoes with reviews highlighting its “on the nose” message and how it was right on time.
“I regret a lot of things. I f*cked my life up.”
