The Madison Police Department released a statement last week that, in short, said the Mifflin Street Block Party is no longer a city sanctioned event, which only proves the MPD lacks confidence in Revelry as an alternative to the block party. Their statement is an insult to the people who have worked so hard on planning Revelry as well as the artists performing there.
OK, I’ve been getting really pissed off with all you peepal lately and you need to no it. YOU NO WHO U R!
My apartment is a mess. Like, not the kind of mess where it’s sort of funny and you tell your friends when you go over to their place “Oh, don’t worry about me, my place is no cleaner.” No, I live in a toxic wasteland. I’m actually starting to fear for my health. Dingoes have been lingering around my apartment complex because they could smell it from like 7,000 miles away. They hopped on a cruise liner to sample some of the world’s finest trash, as I occasionally dispose of it by whipping it into the dumpster from my third-story bathroom window (not a joke this time).
Recently, The Daily Cardinal spoke with Laura Stevenson of Laura Stevenson and The Cans. Yeah, she’s an off-the-charts-talented singer and songwriter, so it was exciting to have a conversation about Wheel, the group’s full-length record set to release April 23. But what also came through from the interview was Stevenson’s superbly relaxed personality, which allowed her to speak about her music in an obviously sincere way—hopefully this transcription does justice to her fluid and often hilarious demeanor.

Well, my first night in Austin was wild to say the least—both because the environment here makes electricity seem weak and because I saw some incredible music. Okay, I won’t waste any more of your time with a cheap introduction; here are a couple of the best acts I saw yesterday:
I’ve been getting a lot of dirty looks lately whenever I open my mouth. And no, my dental hygiene is without a doubt superior to your own. Don’t go there. But I think I might know why people have been giving me the death glare.
There are an insane number of musical genres. Like, there are way too many for anyone to even try to keep track of. And I’m not just talking about big genres—rock, rap, country (and western), jazz—the ones where you can just lump any group or artist that sounds a certain way. Each of these broad categories has an absurd multitude of offshoots (post-punk, west coast gypsy jazz, anyone?).
Bill Burr, a comedian renowned for his unique take on many popular and controversial issues, is coming to Madison this Thursday. Bill, who has starred in several feature-length comedy specials, has been working as a stand-up comedian for about 20 years. He knew the exact moment when stand-up was the job for him.
This week, we will investigate our minds. I want to see exactly what you’re all made of. I’m insanely funny, yada, yada, yada. Keep going. Are you not entertained? Well, I guess this is the time for you to stop reading then. I hate you. Wonder Bread tacos. I think I might have dueling ear infections. Gonorrhea, Burger King, termites, Angry Beavers, porn, bratwurst. This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever read in your entire life.
The Overture Center hosted a truly unique event Thursday evening. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience for me. No, there weren’t any famous musicians or artists putting on some extravagant performance. A handful of South Korean foreign exchange students, who were all between the ages of 11 and 14, did a play rendition of the classic fairy tale “Snow White.”
EVANSTON, Ill.—Though you wouldn’t have known looking at the sea of red in the stands Wednesday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena, the Badgers did indeed pick up a road win in Evanston, defeating the Wildcats (4-10 Big Ten, 13-14 overall) by a final of 69-41. Running out to a 9-0 lead before the first media break, Wisconsin (10-4, 19-8) never looked back, increasing its lead to 28-12 at the half and cruising home to a comfortable victory.
Are you tired of that pesky TV in your living room, taking up space, constantly showing you the same ol’ reruns of “Family Feud” and Patrick Swayze movies? Think it’s about time to ditch it in order to make room for more activities? Well, friends, you’re not alone!
Yesterday, I ran a column that investigated the influences of the Internet on the music business. In a nutshell, I said that the Internet has interacted with how we consume music in ways that aren’t necessarily obvious. Unknown artists are now more than ever able to become mega-stars with the ever-growing prevalence of viral videos. And because of the Internet, it’s unclear if music consumers or producers play a more significant role in deciding what rises to the top of the relevance scale.
Let’s tackle a big subject today, one that’s pervasive and pertinent to the way we experience music, yet elusive when we try to pin down its true influence. I’m talking about how the Internet, in all its manifestations, plays a role in music consumption.
This in no way meant to be funny. Take my arguments how you will, but whatever you do, don’t chuckle whatsoever, or I’ll get violently angry. I think aliens are totally real. And by God (does it make sense to use Him/Her in this context?), you will not convince me otherwise.
I don’t know about all of you, but I’m pretty glad to be back in Madison. Time off is great and all; it lets you hang loose a bit, catch up on sleep. But being at home can be super boring.
On Jan. 22, my world moved a little bit. The shift was caused by two people who I never (EVER!) would have expected to affect me: SNL’s Fred Armisen and TV personality Rachael Ray. Yes, you’re reading that right.
Every Time I Die is not just another metal band that plays too fast and loud for the average listener. In fact, the metal and hardcore genres don’t fully define their sound according to vocalist Keith Buckley, who has been with the group since its formation in 1998.
