Need motivation to get through another dreaded week at your soul-sucking job? There\u2019s no shortage of cool stuff to do in Madison… it\u2019s just figuring out which cool stuff best suits you. Here\u2019s what Madison is doing this week.<\/span>\n

Sleep<\/h2>\n

Monday, June 3, The Sylvee (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Few metal bands are as revered as Sleep. The California trio has been called the \u201cultimate stoner rock band<\/a>,\u201d largely due to their complete mastery of lurching, sludgy riffs. Sleep songs sound physically heavy; listen to their blistering classic Dopesmoker<\/em> for further proof. Or if you want something a little newer, Sleep last year released The Sciences<\/em>, their first album since Dopesmoker<\/em> in 2003. With Big Business<\/strong>, a Seattle duo who were at the top of their class at The Melvins School of Music.<\/span>\n

\u2018The Sandlot\u2019<\/h2>\n

Monday, June 3, Memorial Union Terrace (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re grading films based on their rewatch value, it doesn\u2019t get much better than The Sandlot<\/em>. Released 26 years ago, the ultimate summer story of baseball, friendship and big scary dogs still holds up today. (Its sequels… not so much.) Whether this is your 100th time seeing it or your first, The Sandlot<\/em> is a modern classic. The film spells it out, too; heroes get remembered, but legends never die.<\/p>\n
