The A&E blog covers a span of cultural artifacts as wide, fascinating, and bizarre as the internet itself, from reviews of the cheapest coolers at the liquor store to the best concert to see at the Triple Rock, with a bit of speculation at the meaning of it all stuffed in between.

NBC's "The Voice" returned on September 10th for its third season to give unknown singers a chance at fame and Carson Daly a steady job. "The Voice" steers away from the William "Hung-esque" auditions and focues on realisic contenders distinguishing itself from American Idol. Yet, this doesn't mean the judges…

The Uptown Rainbow grocery has had the majority of their fruit snack selection on special for a while now, prompting me to decide to revisit my childhood in a sickeningly sugary way.
I have eaten my way through multiple varieties of the main brands’ products to the tune of probably a…

Lauded singer-songwriter Aimee Mann released her eighth solo album, Charmer, this past Tuesday. She may be over 50, but her tunes have a youthful spunk that some singers half her age have trouble producing.
Lead single, Charmer, is a standout. The blend of girl-power and a catchy chorus are accented wonderfully…

After a weekend of pajama wearing, Netflix watching and Facebook browsing, the beginning of the school week is a swift and sudden departure to reality.
Ease the transition with a little end-of-weekend sweetness. After a couple bites of this bad boy, 300 pages on Civil-Rights era religion won't seem like such…

According to a new story in the Duluth News Tribune, the U's former athletics director Joel Maturi may have been the inspiration behind one of the most memorable sketches in Saturday Night Live history. The young Chris Farley was a Nose tackle for Madison Edgewood High School and had Maturi…

Last night, the VH1 talking head known for his role in the I Love the 70s/80s/90s/New Millennium series performed his particular brand of sarcastic comedy in front of a packed crowd in Coffman’s Great Hall. Michael Ian Black introduced himself with some standard scatological humor, focusing on his run-in with…

The third season of “Boardwalk Empire,” which premieres Sunday, September 16th, jumps forward in time to 1923. The characters have grown harder, the hustle is more competitive, and soon they are all going to have to deal with the extent of their action’s consequences.
In one of those, “we have no…

“Freejack” is everything a person could want from a time-waster: fast-paced, random, and, above all, irrelevant. Starring Emilio Estevez as a racecar driver who dies during a race, “Freejack” explores the possibility of a dying person being teleported to the future to be used solely as a body for a…

Many apartment leases around campus began on the first of September, but with classes starting just three days later, tons of students didn't have the time to deck out their new cribs.
Now that school is in full swing and we've nested a bit, it's time to give our digs some style. Tired of…

Ever taken a date to a fancy shmancy restaurant? Your grand gesture to show how much you like them/how much you're willing to spend on them is nice and all, but what happens when the waiter asks you how you'd like your steak and you say,"umm....cooked?" Show's over, Romeo. No…

A well-written, well-shot, action television show is hard to find. Cinemax’s “Strike Back” is one of those rare shows. Some of my friends would argue that “24” was close to being a show of that caliber, but the limitations of airing on FOX restricted the possibilities of depicting the tension…

So “Jersey Shore” is officially donezo. If you were happy to see it go: stop reading. If tears were shed at its passing: do not fear, as MTV has been hatching contingency plans for quite some time.
And no, it’s not the lifeless spin-off “Snooki and JWoww.”
The show in question is…

With colder days and nights just around the river bend, it's time to start bulking up for winter. The lighter sushi lunches and salad dinners of summer just won't cut it anymore.
Kick off your hearty autumn eating with Kramarczuk's 3rd Annual Kielbasa Festival. This two day event (Friday the 7th and…

Sadly, the last day of summer is finally upon us. Today's the day we must bid farwell to days spent loafing on the beach, and unpack the spiral notebooks and cable knit. Why not use this extra day to make sure we head back to school in style. I'm not…
