On Friday I was lucky enough to see Billy Joel for the second time. The last time I saw him, it was a part of his 12-night run at Madison Square Garden—which involved some really sketchy counting as to how it was a 12-night run, but that’s neither here nor there.

In the middle of a tour that winds its way from one side of the country to the next and then back again, Simon Posford, the man behind the mask of Shpongle, took some time out to answer some questions for The Daily Cardinal.

On Dec. 28 at 11:30 p.m., Phish played their final note of the night. By the time I got home at 12:15 a.m., the show was available for download.

Last October, during the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, Arcade Fire played a pair of not-so-secret shows in Brooklyn under the pseudonym “The Reflektors,” the title of their new album. At a converted warehouse space that held about 3,000 people, tickets sold out instantly for the two shows and within minutes, tickets on StubHub ranged from $220 to $5,000.

When I was told I would be able to write a film column, I knew exactly what to write about—the soundtrack.

When Zaramela formed in late 2011, they were just six (now seven) high school kids jamming together. With influences as varied as Alt-J to The Roots and a whole lot of everything in between, these Chicagoland musicians have quickly found both their sound and a following with Portillo’s Italian Beef close at hand.

What happens when you put three, four or 12 famous-in-their-own-right musicians together and tell them to write an album or go on tour? Decidedly mixed results.

Monday Aug. 5, 2013, seemingly out of nowhere, the United States Hockey League (USHL) announced a new team in Madison, Wis.

To continue my quasi-tradition of starting each semester off with a column about my beloved jam bands, welcome back to “spring” 2014.

With the start of the so-called “spring” semester (though calling it spring is just cruel as it doesn’t feel like spring until at least April), there are plenty of music options—both live and recorded—for you to check out this mid-winter semester.

A number of weeks ago, I wrote about an amateur videographer named Chad. Chad is the bane of my existence for a plethora of reasons. However, in my last column, I stuck to his videography skills—or lack thereof. This time, I am here to talk about Chad, the (personal) space invader.

Every so often, when I’m bored and find myself crawling through the Internet looking up music reviews, I end up on Pitchfork. Pitchfork doesn’t really cover the genres of music I typically listen to; however, sometimes I attempt to broaden my horizons and saunter over to their website to see how they feel about a particular album.

This past weekend, I made the trek down to Milwaukee to see the same band three times—a move some would call reckless, while some fans of the band would question why I didn’t go to Kalamazoo to see the band the night before.

Every year, tens of thousands of people descend upon New York City for a week of industry types hobnobbing around while more than 1,000 mostly below-average bands perform in 80 venues across the city.
