Cheap Album Round-Up: Brady St. Rummage Sale Edition
Evan Rytlewski On MusicI struck unassuming gold Saturday when I followed a sad, hand-written sign taped to garbage can on Brady Street that said "Rummage Sale in Back." The household was selling a small but choice collection of '90s-ish indie-punk-emo records, includi

Radiohead: Now Less Greedy
Evan Rytlewski On MusicThis is me giving credit where credit is due: After a lengthy history of creating cynical new ways to milk money from fans, Radiohead is toning down some of their exploits.
In April, the group launched a greedy contest (really just a thinly veiled iTun

Jack White and Alicia Keys Spit on Bond's Grave
Evan Rytlewski On MusicAlright, I've given it a day or two to sink it, but the new Jack White and Alicia Keys song is majorly rough. Like, demo rough. Or first-take rough. Or Alicia Keys didn't know they were actually recording rough:
I wasn't a

Bob Dylan to Play Riverside Theater
Evan Rytlewski On MusicAs part of his unofficial "Never Ending Tour," Bob Dylan used to roll through Milwaukee (and just about every other city) almost once a year, but as best I can tell it's been a long three years since Dylan last played the city. It's big news, th

Evan Rytlewski On MusicLike the murder ballad or songs about cars, sad songs will always have a special place in the American songbook. This week is a great one for sad music, seeing the release of two wonderfully downtrodden albums from wildly different genres:

All-Ages Venue The Borg Ward in Trouble
Evan Rytlewski On MusicAlthough it was only a matter of time until this happened—you can only run a venue this prominent for so long until the city starts paying attention—this still stings. City inspectors have cracked down on the Borg Ward, the all-ages venue and arts space o

Okkervil River vs. The Walkmen
Evan Rytlewski On MusicI've lavished some almost recklessly lavish praise on Okkervil River over the years, but I still stand by it all. After releasing two of the defining albums of my college years, the vibrant Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You See and the lovely Down the

A Rainy Bay View Bash/Global Union
Evan Rytlewski On MusicFor the last couple of years, Bay View has put its eggs in one proverbial basket, booking two of its major music festivals, the Bay View Bash and the Global Union world music festival, on the same weekend. It makes for a fun weekend, unless, of course, bo

So This is The New Year('s self-titled album)
Evan Rytlewski On MusicSaying The New Year's latest album was worth the wait is a complement of the highest order, considering how long that wait was: It's been four years since the previous New Year record. For the statisticians, that's a 25% waiting-time increase from their p

Live Blogging an Alanis Morissette Conference Call
Evan Rytlewski On MusicFor weeks, the new Alanis Morissette album rotted on my desk, untouched except by sporadic co-workers who invariably picked it up to ask, "Alanis Morissette has a new album?" Morissette returns to Milwaukee on Oct. 5 for a show at the Riverside Theater. S

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
