The first day of school used to be such a big deal. My mom would take me to Kohl's to help me pick out a schnazzy outfit. I would devote countless hours to arranging, then re-arranging my school supplies based on shape and color and NBA team logos. Once all the important business was put to rest, I'd climb into bed for a few winks as the nervous anticipation of finally being a junior in college kept me from getting any real sleep.
M. Ward, indie's sophisticated back-porch minstrel, can be difficult to place within any sort of classification. He does not seem to be vehemently avoiding any sort of cataloging. His throaty, creaking voice and lo-fi ruckus have been slightly too off-kilter and laid back to compete for attention with blog darlings like Tapes ‘n Tapes.

This generation doesn't have a definitive comedy troupe. Our grandparents had the Marx Brothers and our parents had Monty Python, but we've got hardly any official troupes to call our own. The group that comes the closest is Broken Lizard, who have already crafted one genuine cult classic (""Super Troopers""), but their subsequent efforts have been less than stellar (the spotty ""Club Dread"" and, although it doesn't technically count as a Broken Lizard movie, the abominable ""Dukes of Hazzard""). Their new movie, ""Beerfest,"" is about as sophomoric as immature comedy comes, but it is a sloppy, often hilarious return to form.

The Badgers chalked up wins against Oklahoma (4-2), South Dakota State (5-2), and Oregon State (1-5) thanks in large part to the improved blocking the team worked on over the course of the past week.
In the history of rock 'n' roll, no artist has reinvented himself with as much frequency and variety as Bob Dylan. Over the course of 30-some albums, Dylan has worn the guise of idealist protest singer, amphetamine-jacked surrealist, born-again Christian and heartbroken acoustic master, and thrown out so many classic songs his failures simply fade away.
According to Andrew Gordon, UW-Madison campus organizer for Fair Wisconsin, \The issue on the Nov. 7 ballot is so much more than gay marriage. It is about choosing the path Wisconsin wants to take on civil rights, and how we want to treat people in this s'
