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

The Mystery Lights<\/h2>\n

Monday, June 24, High Noon Saloon (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Transcontinental garage rockers The Mystery Lights are students of the classics. Formed in California but based out of New York, the quintet mixes eerie synthesizers with four-on-the-floor punk. It ends up sounding like a new wave MC5, and it\u2019s awesome. Joining them will be fellow New Yorkers Future Punx<\/strong>, Madison\u2019s Fake News <\/strong>and Lunar Moth<\/strong>, plus Janesville\u2019s The Red Flags<\/strong>.<\/span>\n

\u2018Big\u2019<\/h2>\n

Monday, June 24, Memorial Union Terrace (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

With Big<\/em>, it\u2019s best if you don\u2019t think about the plot too much \u2014 after all, it does tell a love story between an adult woman and a child. Granted, the child is inhabiting Tom Hanks\u2019 body, which makes for some pretty zany comedy. Before he was a multiple Oscar winner, Hanks was one of the most consistently great comedy actors of the 1980s, and Big <\/em>is his magnum opus as a funny guy. (Though Turner and Hooch<\/em> slaps as well.)<\/p>\n
