University of Wisconsin-Madison seniors Deryk G and Godly the Ruler held a concert at Rathskeller for a small but intimate crowd on the Friday before Halloween. Despite the stark contrast between Deryk G’s softer indie and Godly’s bombastic rap, the festive audience soaked up every second.
Fall seems like the perfect time to cozy up and watch a comforting, nostalgic movie from your childhood. “The Parent Trap” was always one of those movies, and I think it has been for a lot of people who fall in that weird age gap between Millennials and Gen Z.
Denis Villeneuve released “Dune” (2021) into a dizzying sandstorm of expectations. The star-studded cast promised recognizable, idolized personalities, such as Timotheé Chalamet and Zendaya. Author Frank Herbert established the franchise decades ago and posthumously left Villeneuve a dedicated, literary fanbase. Commentators, and the director himself, urged audiences to see the film in theaters, lest its cinematic artistry go unappreciated.
Eric Barone, who uses the online alias ConcernedApe, announced last week that he is in the process of developing a new game, titled “ConcernedApe’s Haunted Chocolatier,” to the delight of cozy gamers everywhere.
Coldplay released Music of the Spheres, their ninth studio album and their second in about two years, on Friday, Oct. 15, 2021. As a massive Coldplay fan, I had been looking forward to the release of the album since it was first announced in the summer. I also hoped to give it the same treatment I gave Everyday Life last year, when I made an attempt to revisit the album one year on.
At around 9:30 p.m., the French musician, DJ, record producer, singer and songwriter Madeon ran onto the stage to the sound of his screaming fans, styling a black button-down loose shirt that was tucked into his golden shimmering flowy pants and a black, flat brim hat.
The days leading up to Summer Salt’s arrival in Madison were rainy and dreary, but their concert at the Majestic Friday night made it clear that summer isn’t over yet.
For the last week, Hwang Dong-hyuk’s “Squid Game” has dominated my life. My mother, sister and I attempted to dissect the tiniest details of the Korean survival drama for the entirety of an hour-long road trip. A friend and I discussed Halloween costume ideas, and then subsequently scoured Amazon for the now infamous green tracksuits that figure as key imagery of the show. At the beginning of a work call, my supervisor opened with, “Have you watched ‘Squid Game’ yet?”
Although there was no moshing and masks stayed on at the Julien Baker concert, it was anything but quiet. People in line cautiously befriended each other, bonding over which songs they suspected they would cry to and how strange it felt to be back in line for a concert again.
Recently, Netflix came out with their third and final season of “Sex Education,” a show in which the son of a sex therapist starts a commercial “sex education” clinic at his school in order to subsidize the crappy education the school gives. Touching on subjects as common as the pressure to lose one's virginity to things such as Vaginismus, the show truly accomplishes what its leading character Otis seeks to do: educate teenagers about the subjects they thought were taboo. Rotten Tomatoes says the new season is as “raunchy and riotous as ever,” but even with its shockingly explicit scenes and British setting, the show is much more socially valuable than another raunchy go.
Whether he’s throwing himself a fake baby shower, or courting controversy with eye-popping, jaw-dropping music videos, Lil Nas X’s mastery of viral marketing is unmatched. In some ways, however, the music has felt like an afterthought.
After more than 20 movies under their belt, it has become clearer than ever that Marvel needs to deal with their daddy issues. Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow and Spiderman all had daddy issues, and their new poster boy — Shang-Chi — is no different. Captain America had to fight his best friend, Thor had to fight his brother and Shang-Chi took it up a notch and fought his dad.
There is a lot of anxiety amid the return to live shows.
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.
