Kenosha, Wisconsin’s own Alexander Kain — a rising hip-hop musician and entertainer — performed at this years Freakfest, opening for Lil Yachty at the Capitol Square Stage. He caught up with The Daily Cardinal’s Megan Girod and discussed his experience performing that night, as well as his current projects.
Music fans from near and far learned to dance in the rain at this year’s Freakfest. The annual Halloween-themed music festival in downtown Madison — this year, held on Saturday Oct. 26th — saw constant showers throughout the duration of the event.
For millions of Americans, comic books have been an escape from our regular reality for nearly a century. Characters like Batman or Spider-Man inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves, while also showing us that it’s okay to be “super” and still have faults.
Alex O’Connor —widely known as Rex Orange County— released his third studio album entitled Pony this past Friday, encouraging fans to recognize their own youth and remember it well.
Among television shows hoping to both accurately and appropriately encapsulate mental illness, “Bojack Horseman” is one of the few successes, particularly impressive for an adult animation comedy. Season six was no exception.
“Milwaukee, like so many cities in the Rust Belt, built its identity as a home to manufacturers, a growing immigrant community, and booze. Over the last half century, as jobs disappeared, so did the dreams that came with them.” This is how Tim Hennessy, editor of the anthology titled “Milwaukee Noir,” begins his introduction.
Deborah Blum — author of this year's Go Big Read book — begins her novel by stating that we “romanticize the food of our grandparents.” The reader is then given an expose about the food of the past that, no matter what your opinion is on the food of your grandparents, is likely to surprise you. Blum reports that food products of all kinds were preserved with things such as Formaldehyde, Salicylic acid or Borax, and most products were cut heavily with cheaper additives, meaning consumers had very little insight into what they were eating.
In my experience as a journalist, I have always seen art through the lens of human connection. A single painting can have the potential to connect stories, emotions, colors and people in a room. Yet, I had never thought about the connection that modern art can lend to traditional art.
Dying primetime: Loss for live viewers, win for binge-watchers
In the late 1990s, two massive wrestling companies dominated the industry which at the time was deeply entrenched in American pop culture. Then-the WWF and the now defunct WCW competed for the audience’s attention on a near-nightly basis.
Big Thief took the stage for their second time in Madison this past Saturday at the Sylvee. Their new album Two Hands is their second to come out this year, following U.F.O.F., which dropped in early May.
Kero Kero Bonito, an indie-pop trio from London, brought a bout of chaotic energy and angelic vocals to Madisonians on Friday.
Bringing back its trademark humor and raunchiness, “Big Mouth” returns to the screen in a big way with its third season. However, in its surreality and dedication to pushing boundaries, the show may have gone too far with its humor.
It’s been six years since we said goodbye to Jesse Pinkman, the guilt-ridden, meth-dealing anti-hero of the hit series “Breaking Bad.” Last we saw of Jesse, he and his partner-in-crime Walter White seemed to make amends before taking down the show’s final villains. Pinkman was last seen smiling and laughing as he drove away, leaving his life of crime behind him as he headed towards a new life.
I first discovered Lucy Dacus just over a year ago when she opened for The National summer 2018. The crowd whooped at the high points of her hit song “Night Shift” and cheered on the band during the powerful beat of “Timefighter.” I left the venue that night talking just as much about Dacus as the headliner.
If you’re anything like me, you want every asset of your life to align with the season. Summer is full of trap music, electronic bops and even a little country. As the weather gets colder my music gets quiet, slow and a bit sad. Something about fall makes me less inclined to listen to new music, but rather indulge in nostalgia with old favorites. I cannot give a definitive answer of what makes an album “fallish,” but here are five that I will be listening to for the next few months.
One of the most anticipated films of 2019 and without a doubt the most controversial, the infamous Clown Prince of Crime has gotten yet another film, this time in “Joker,” a stand-alone film dedicated solely to the character examination of this iconic villain.
Catfish and the Bottlemen brought the ballroom to life this past Friday as they headlined the Rave in Milwaukee. Touring for their new album The Balance the setlist illustrated their new sound, giving fans a sense of nostalgia as they showcased their past hits.
For a long time, the Sega Genesis has been seen as the edgy older brother to Nintendo’s laid back Super Nintendo Entertainment System, something of a strange fact given that Genesis actually predates Nintendo’s SNES by about two years, but that’s beside the point. Nintendo and Sega were rivals back in the early nineties, so when Nintendo came out with their SNES Classic Edition in 2017, it was all but inevitable that Sega would be coming out with their own similarly priced mini-console to compete.
