One of the main problems with my brand of music-advocacy journalism is that, more often than not, you end up preaching to the choir.

My column is printed in a publication of general readership, just a few inches amongst all that black-and-white about Democrats, Republicans, cows and whatever else is happening. And the only people likely to read my stuff and take it to heart are the people who agree with me, anyway.

Which is fine, because we need camaraderie in our convictions. But, with a few glimmering exceptions for which I ’m grate-

to horse trials in 2002 after becoming involved in the sport.

The work on keeping the grounds maintained for the next year’s event begins during the current show.

“Even during the show, we have a huge, heavy roller that we use to get all the horse divots out of the ground and get it nice and smooth, so it’s not all torn up and choppy,” W illmarth said.

Driving around the event grounds on a sunny afternoon, workers and volunteers could be seen dotting the landscape of the wide-open fields.

Two men took turns hammering a massive spike into

the ground to anchor a large tent while a worker sprayed jumps with a stain nearby.

The jumps were positioned at a small pond for the cross country competition, which W illmarth said was one of the more exciting parts of the trials.

year. Willmarth said it’s the biggest event yet at Richland Park.

Ddespite the amount of work that goes into maintenance and the status of the trials in the world of horse eventing, some think Richland Park remains out of the public eye.

“I talk to people all the time,” Richland Park representative Susan Canole said, “and they’re like, ‘The what?’

It’s really a shame because it’s so close.”

Both Canole and Willmarth Kay Willmarth said people, whether they know a thing about horses or not, typically find the trials exciting. The cross country portion of the trials, for example, features horses and their riders sprinting through wooded trails, over obstacles and into ponds. The dressage phase finds riders working their horses into a sequence of movements, displaying their level of communication with the animal.

“It’s great for a family day in the country,” Willmarth said, citing the food court and trade fair as other ways to spend time at the event, to say nothing of the level of competition.

“It’s like having Tiger Woods,” she said. “The top riders in the country are all going to be here.

We have Olympians and world medalists.”

Sell, swap and sing at music festival ANDY FITZPATRICK The Enquirer

A musician with the desire to unload some unused equipment taking up space has resulted in a swap meet and music festival in Marshall.

Organizers of the Marshall Music Faire, happening from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, plan on bringing together musicians from the world of jazz, blues, rock and hip hop.

They also hope to attract

The public is invited to bring instruments to sell or participate in a 2 p.m. jam session Saturday.

anyone who has musical equipment, CDs, tapes, albums and anything else musicrelated that they want to sell to the event at Stuart’s Landing on Homer Road.

Organizer Jaryl Day said the idea came to her when trying to figure out what to do with the equipment left behind by her late husband, musician Dick Day. “I have a lot of Dick’s old equipment that – being a cellist – I will never use,” she said. “I have every kind of cord you can possibly dream of. I have every kind of cable and plug you could possibly dream of.”

People hoping to sell off some stuff can get vendor space for prices that vary depending on the amount of area needed; the fees will go to offset debt incurred by Swing, Jazz and Other Stuff!!!, another Marshall musical event Day first helped organize in 2007.

Day also hopes it will bring together the young and the old and expose them to music they may not have heard before.

“They’re going to be sticking around to hear other things that are going on, and they’re going to be exposed to

other things,” she said of people showing up to hear a rap group, but also catching the sounds of a jazz band.

Battle Creek’s Keith Cole, of the trombone band Quint Essential Bones, agreed.

“I’m not a big proponent of rap music, but I have listened to it and it has some merit,” Cole, who will be performing at the event, said.

“I think part of that is if we get exposure to some of the younger people to something in addition to rap, then I think that would be a good thing,” he said.

To that end, rap group 11M12D of Fort Wayne is scheduled to appear. Joining them on the roster are Dogs in Winter, Rachelle, Jim and Joe and more.

spread the copies around Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Grand R apids, but there’s no distribution budget.

“So I’ll be a classic 26-year-old with a paper route,” Bussa said, adding that the magazine is not a money-maker.

“I’m rolling in money,” he joked. “Me and my

Bridge card.”

But money is not Bussa’s drive (a common self-soothing statement for journalists). It’s really about promoting, covering and even creating the Kalamazoo music scene.

With resources limited at mainstream publications, Bussa rounded up local musicians to do it themselves. His four main

contributors — Meg Alexander, Joe Fearnley, Dwayne Hoover and Brandon St. James — all are musicians. So is Devon Bynon, his layout specialist. The team writes reviews of regional artists, albums and shows, talks about the local scene and even sponsors concerts that act dually as fundraisers for the magazine and

tools to grow the scene. It’s about giving local artists another stage from which to scream.

“It’s not just tapping the bigger bands in the scene, it’s giving really in-depth reviews of bands I’ve never heard of,” Bynon, 24, said. “It’s really exposing a lot of good bands.”

It’s classic grassroots Gonzo. Create and cover.

A screen shot from “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game”

GUIDE

# TITLE: “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game” # PLATFORM: Download for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360. # DEVELOPER: Ubisoft. # PRICE: $10. # RATING: Teen.

UBISOFT

such as “X-Men,” “T he Simpsons” and “T eenage Mutant Ninja T urtles,” encouraged players to spend quarters destroying waves of enemies in order to face the boss fights and then the final foe. Getting there solo was a chore, but with other fighters in the mix, the game was a lot more fun. hT is “Scott Pilgrim” game has not forgotten that formula and adds lots of flair to make you appreciate the time and effort placed in this $10 game.

For starters, the music

and graphics are pure retro. What could have been a bland satire on 8-bit gaming is a tribute instead. h T e chunky graphics are a style that older gamers will appreciate while not skimping on the personality. Each enemy and playable character has its own cheeky humor. T he chip-tune music is also a treat as it is more than just a simple loop. h T e soundtrack is layered, complex and most importantly, really well done.

“Scott Pilgrim” adds

another layer of depth to this simple genre by adding a level-based system that gives your fighter new abilities to get to the final stages. Even on the normal difficulty, you will have some challenges getting through the game without playing earlier areas to level-up.

“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: hT e Game” has done something that very few tie-in games have: It is better than the movie.

Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the movie and the comic books that started it all, but this downloadable title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is a near flawless victory. For less than the price of popcorn and a prime-time movie ticket, you and up to three friends can have a retro-flavored beat-em-up that will keep you smiling.

As in the movie, you play Scott Pilgrim who has to fight his way through the seven deadly “exes” of his new girlfriend, Ramona.

In side-scrolling style, you travel encountering pixelated ruffians who use their fists, legs and anything else around the screen to beat your health away.
