Nashville band The Wild Feathers has had an unflagging career thus far; after forming in 2010, the band gained national prominence opening for Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, all before the release of their debut album, The Wild Feathers, in August 2013. Now engaging on their first headlining tour, this old-fashioned rock and roll band (as vocalist/acoustic guitarist Ricky Young preferred to label The Wild Feathers) is stoked to be on the road.

Klasper and Foster climbed the ladder upward. Now they were standing in the foyer between the upper floor ladder and the crisscrossing hallways leading to the kitchen and living room. The sun shone lilac through the front door’s windows.

The return of a beloved band from inactivity could be construed as messianic. And while it is overmuch to assume said band walks to every concert on rays of light and ringed with aureoles, the effect is analogous for fans.

Neutral Milk Hotel has eked out a strange nook for itself in the annals of music history. And while In the Aeroplane Over the Sea has become a rite of passage at this point, their other albums have sort of fallen by the wayside. And by other albums, I mean two EPs and their first, On Avery Island.

A member of the Elephant 6 Recording Company in its mid-to-late ’90s heyday, Elf Power embraced psychedelic-tinged pop as its wheelhouse, much like fellow label mates Apples in Stereo and Olivia Tremor Control. Since the effective passing of the label, Elf Power has continued to churn out consistent, well-regarded albums and build a dedicated international fan base. Most recently, Elf Power has embarked on a national tour alongside former label mates Neutral Milk Hotel.

January ended spectacularly last night with a concert from rapper Milo and DJs FOANS and *hitmayng in the Sett in Union South. *hitmayng, it should be noted, is the moniker of Ian Carroll, a recent UW-Madison graduate whose most recent album is a collaboration with rapper CRASHprez.

Ralph “Foster” Homily had listened to Yes’s Fragile back-to-back three times now, always savoring the tuneful dial-up guitar on “Long Distance Runaround.” It lent a certain order to the squalor of his room.

The line to get in was immense, stretching down the majority of Exhibition Hall. There was some slight confusion—on the part of your gustatory nomad—as to how to get in, since one line moved one way and the other moved the opposite way. It turns out one line was for the coat check, which was gleefully sidestepped in order to get closer to the festivities. The fest was sold out, which should come to no surprise given what the fest was sampling.

It took about 10 years—since I first became interested in literature—but this summer, I finally realized that Thornton Wilder was a great writer.

William Faulkner once said, “Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut.” I can imagine surgeons and bricklayers taking umbrage against such a remark, since there is probably no shortcut to get the surgery done and no shortcut to get the bricklaying done.

The other day I learned “The Counselor,” a movie I had no velleity to go see, was written by Cormac McCarthy. Not adapted from a work by McCarthy, the way “No Country for Old Men” was to great gravitas, or as some hope to do with “Blood Meridian.” This was an original screenplay, McCarthy’s first apparently.

Any good instructor will tell you that all writing is born out of planning. It’s a skill every one of your TAs in English class is trying to drill into you right now. And, while planning ahead or mapping out processes are skills that have broad applications, they are particularly pertinent to the practice of writing.
