Taking a nip of Jack Daniel's you feel the warmth spread down your throat and slowly seep across your chest. A slight grin flexes in your cheek muscles and maybe a gentle sigh keeps it company.
The SOPA and PIPA controversies have been on every music-lover's mind, and it was a relief to many when the legislation was dropped. However, it does leave us with questions that will inevitably effect us in the future, as the issues that SOPA and PIPA attempted to address are far from being byone woes.
By mid afternoon on the day of Oscar nomination announcements last week, my Facebook wall was already being covered with bitter and exasperated commentary on the Academy's nominee choices for the 2012 Academy Awards. One commenter summed up his displeasure with the concise statement, "This was a terrible year in film."
As the 2011-'12 college hockey season prepares for its stretch, the postseason pictures across the country are beginning to take shape.
Kids are weird. They look relatively normal and adorable until they suddenly decide to be Simba and bite everyone they see. You never know what to expect.
The sounds of dobro and mandolin will soon be wafting off the historical stage at The Majestic Theatre. Maybe wafting isn't the right word, more like pounding.
At some point in the early hours of Wednesday morning, as we pushed to the end of a hectic night at the Cardinal, I sat down and opened an e-mail from my mom with the subject line “I assume you’ve seen this.”
Taking a break from wrapping up the final track of his forthcoming EP—and whilst gathering sustenance at a Whole Foods in Indiana—long-time music producer Alex Botwin expressed his excitement for Paper Diamond's Madison debut this Thursday.
I think everyone goes through that point in their life where music takes on a special meaning-certainly one or two albums must stick out in your mind.
We’ve all heard the expression that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Good things tend to take time. With an inexperienced roster, that has been the mindset for the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (7-9-2 WCHA, 12-10-2 overall) this season.
Anchoring your movie with a main character that is utterly unlikable and almost completely devoid of admirable qualities is a dangerous move. Aside from the innate human interest in just desserts and seeing bad things happen to bad people, there aren't many ways to win over an audience's interest, let alone affection, with a portrait of a detestable human being.
PASADENA, Calif.—For a season as successful as the one Wisconsin enjoyed, it is ironic that some of the most indelible memories of the year came in loses.
For most people, the holidays are the most joyous time of year. They are time spent with family, and time spentpracticing of close-held traditions. Putting up the Christmas tree and lights, leaving cookies and milk out for Santa Claus and waking up early on Christmas morning to see what he left you. But, for student athletes such as members of the Wisconsin men’s hockey team, the holidays are a bit different from more traditional festivities.
Recording a band with sub-par equipment isn't fun. You'd think I would remember this from that time I was in a ska band in high school, but Friday night I decided to try my hand at it again. Local boys Baristacide came out to The Daily Cardinal office and set up all of their gear, helped me out by finding a controller to run the mics through so I could get audio and played a set of pretty awesome pop-punk-for-people-who-hate-pop-punk. After seven songs and a few minor technical issues, we ended up with more than enough for a good session.
Finals are almost upon us, and with them the end of my reading for the semester. Not that I'm complaining. Spending three hours reading isn't exactly my ideal Friday night. I'm an English major, so I read well over 20 books this semester. Some were wonderful pieces of literature, and others were just boring. Here is my list of the best and worst books I read for class this year.
Lately, I've had a creeping worry that the Internet will be the death of everything beautiful, patient and human. I look around at dead-eyed freshmen stroking their smart phones, and I can't help but ge but get this self-righteous indignant lump in my throat. Humanity isn't worthy of getting everything instanteously. I don't think we can handle the responsibility.
Based on the amount of media coverage of Tim Tebow that I’ve had to endure since he took the reins of the Denver Broncos’ offense, I think it is fair to say that Tebowmania has engulfed the NFL.
It is hard to believe such serious guidelines underlie the comparatively light-hearted atmosphere of Blue Lotus. Overhearing banter between owner Rob Beyer and tattoo artists Seneca Marks and Noah MacDonald could easily make clients forget they are in fact at a tattoo shop and not a comedy club.
The end of the year, as well as the season's characteristic gold rush of high-caliber cinema, is upon us. And what better time to take in all the Oscar-minded flicks flooding into theaters or catch up on gems passed over from earlier this year than the glorious month of little-to-no responsibility that lies before us, just beyond that abysmal week-which-shall-not-be-named. While there are still a few films I'm highly anticipating over break-namely "Shame," "Young Adult," "The Artist" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"-I'd still like to take this time procrastinating from studying to compile my top 10 of 2011 (so far) list.
The first thing that meets the eye is a 200-gallon saltwater aquarium. A range of blue tangs, reminiscent of "Finding Nemo," to cleaner shrimp swim and scuttle about in a serene scene of coral and neon swirls.
