From the editor atching video clips and readW ing stories about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan over the last week have

been heartbreaking. Boats, homes and cars float down streets, while rescue crews row through the wreckage looking for bodies and survivors.

It’s incredible to think how our lives can change at any moment, and how the world around us is more fragile than we think.

On Wednesday night I went to Ellen Eccles Theatre to watch the Repertory Dance Theatre of Salt Lake City perform a program dedicated to water and the fragility of the earth. On stage, the performers became water, creating wave-like movements with their arms and dancing as if they were immersed in an ocean.

In the program, it was mentioned that water has the power to change everything.

It has the power to unify or divide the world.

mnewbold@hjnews.com

It’s interesting how, when we’re looking for an answer to the world’s problems, we can often find something in art. Water has definitely taken a tole on Japan and the hearts of people around the globe. However, while water has done so much damage and changed everything for those living there, the tiny silver lining is that maybe people can be more unified while helping survivors.

On Tuesday I was able to talk to Jay Nash, a singer/songwriter who is coming to Logan next week. He recently released a new album on iTunes and said when he heard about the tragedy in Japan, he decided to donate 50 percent of his album proceeds this week to the relief effort.

What a great way to use his music to give something back to the world.

I don’t think there is ever a reason why tragedies such as the earthquake and tsunami happen. But I do know that through the arts we can find messages of hope. And hopefully in our own way, we can give back.

A

n Evening in Brazil” is back to turn up the heat with some indoor winter entertainment Friday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. in USU’s Performance Hall.

The ensemble will perform music by Brazilian composers from the Bossa Nova movement with an emphasis on music by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

The ensemble will explore Brazilian rhythms and music with a jazzy flair, said Michael Christiansen, USU’s director of the guitar studies program.

“The only thing this concert will be lacking is a drink with an umbrella in it,” said Christiansen.

Performers for the evening include Christiansen on guitar, Christopher Neale on guitar and vocals, Linda Ferreira Linford on vocals, Eric Nelson on saxophone and clarinet, Lars Yorgason on bass, Jason Nicholson on drums and Don Keipp on percussion.

Neale is a professor of engineering at USU. He was born and raised in Brazil, has a classical guitar degree and appeared in last year’s concert. Joining Neale on vocals for the concert is USU vocal music major Linda Ferreira Linford, a native of New Jersey and of Brazilian heritage.

Nelson, who performs cross country with Christiansen as part of the Lightwood Duo, is a middle school band teacher in

German ensemble to perform at USU Cache Valley.

Yorgason is a bass player in Utah and has performed with a number of noted artists.

Nicholson is a new addition to the music faculty at USU. From North Carolina, he was recently hired as the head of the percussion program for USU’s department of music.

Keipp rounds out the evening’s performers. He is professor of percussion at Weber State University.

The evening’s program includes a number of classic works by Antônio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) the Grammy Award-winning Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger,

singer, pianist and guitarist. A primary force behind the creation of the Bossa Nova style, his songs are performed by artists around the world.

The third annual “Evening in Brazil” is sponsored by USU’s Guitar Program in the Department of Music and the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University.

General admission tickets are $15 and student tickets are $8. Tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, FAC 139-B, 435-7978022, online at arts.usu.edu or at the door prior to the performance.

he Calmus Ensemble, a world-renowned choir, comes to Utah State University March 22, from Leipzig, Germany, for a one-night concert featuring various musical styles.

Hosted by the Caine College of the Arts and invited by Craig Jessop, dean of the Caine College of the Arts at USU, Calmus will perform in the USU Performance Hall at 7:30 p.m.

“Calmus’ stylistic variety is nearly limitless,” said Jessop. “Whether it be music of the Gregorian period, Bach, Verdi, contemporary sacred music or the great range of music extending from madrigals to folk songs to rock, these singers from Leipzig are at home in all styles and also add their own personal touch.”

The ensemble, formed

in 1999, includes four former members of the St. Thomas Boys’ Choir and Anja Lipfert, a bright and talented soprano, Jessop said.

An active schedule has led the Calmus Ensemble across Germany, as well as to Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, France, Ireland, Finland, Austria, Spain, Portugal and North and South America.

“It’s a true musical privilege to host Calmus here in Logan,” Jessop said.

Tickets are $8 reserved seating and free for USU students with ID. Tickets can be purchased through the Caine College of the Arts Box Office, open weekdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, online at arts.usu.edu or by phone at 435-7971500.

t’s noon in Texas and Jay Nash is 18 hours into a 21-hour drive from Southern California to Austin where he will be performing in the South by Southwest Conferences and Festivals.

The festival, which is one of the biggest in the world, will last five days and include hundreds of shows from around the world on 80 stages in downtown Austin. Something like 2,000 bands come every year, he says, and anyone who loves music would enjoy the atmosphere.

It’s been a week since the singer/songwriter released his sixth full album, “Diamonds and Blood,” and he’s on the road to promote it and perform. Originally from the east coast, Nash has been performing his folk rock/alternative music for more than Jay Nash, featuring a decade, his style inspired Joey Ryan and special

he Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents Janis Ian on March 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Ian’s work as a songwriter made her one of the early innovators of the singer-songwriter style and the creator of many masterpieces including Jesse, Society’s Child, and her 1975 album “At Seventeen.” Catapulted into fame at the age of 15, her career has led her to a total of 9 Grammy nominations, two Grammy wins, and a life-long hunger to write. The singer, guitarist and songwriter will perform live in concert for two nights only as part of CVCA’s Performing Arts Series.

“Janis Ian’s music moved a generation. The world during the ’60s and ’70s was constantly changing and Janis Ian provided a voice for the rock revolution,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts.

Ian was born April 7, 1951, and started playing the guitar at age 10.

Her first song was written at 12 and recorded on her first album for Verve-

Film Still playing “Battle: Los Angeles” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 Jonathan Liebesman’s disaster film doesn’t rely as much as others in the genre on the gleeful horror of seeing familiar landmarks burn. Instead, this West Coast version of alien invasion distinguishes itself as an urban warfare film and a patriotic ad for the Marines. A dozen alien ships land on Earth — we only care about the one just off L.A. — and in the ensuing carnage, a platoon of Marines are sent into the fray with the seemingly inconsequential mission of rescuing a handful of civilians (Bridget Moynahan, Michael Pena).

The weary veteran Staff Sgt. Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) isn’t their lieutenant (Ramon Rodriguez), but he’s effectively their leader in survival and Marine honor. The talented Eckhart and Liebesman manage to pull off the ultra-seriousness for much of the film, before a laughable speech of teary-eyed inspiration finally does them in.

“Jane Eyre” Rated PG-13 ★★★ There’s been no shortage of film versions of Charlotte Bronte’s classic tale of romance and woe. Now, yet another take on the 1847 novel has come to the screen, with Cary Joji Fukunaga directing Moira Buffini’s script, which shakes things up by messing with the narrative structure. It begins with Jane fleeing the imposing Thornfield Hall in hysterics and is told mainly in flashback, which creates tension from the start — even if you know the story.

Fukunaga may seem like an odd choice to direct such revered literary material; his last

film, “Sin Nombre,” was a contemporary and violent tale of Central Americans making their way through Mexico on their way to the United States. But both are about people searching for a place to belong, and they share a visceral immediacy. Visually and tonally, his “Jane Eyre” is muted, stripped-down; it’s gooey and marshy, vast and grassy, anything but lush — and that’s what makes it beautiful. The pacing might even be a bit too low-key, but because it is, and because the attraction between Jane and Rochester simmers for so long, it makes the passionate bursts stand out even more. The relationship between these two guarded people is at the heart of the story and Mia

Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender challenge and beguile each other beautifully.

“Red Riding Hood” Rated PG-13 ★1⁄2 This aims not for little girls who want to hear a fairy tale before they go to sleep at night, but rather for teenage girls who want a soapy melodrama full of angst and hair product — with some supernatural flourishes thrown in. Does that sound vaguely familiar to you? It should. “Red Riding Hood” suggests what it might look like if the kids from “Twilight” got dressed up and went to the Renaissance Faire.

And that is not a good thing. Catherine Hardwicke, who directed the first “Twilight” movie, is

working from a script by “Orphan” writer David Leslie Johnson, which takes this classic story and turns it into a medieval love triangle. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) would rather be with the bad boy she loves than the good guy she’s been arranged to marry. She knows that Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), a hunky woodcutter, is wrong for her, but she longs to run away with him, rather than live a safe, comfortable life with Henry (Max Irons), a hunky blacksmith. Hardwicke depicts the tiny town where they live in haunted fashion, with scenery and lighting that often have a misty, ethereal, almost otherworldly glow. But then the set design feels super

Story by Casey Rock Photos by Jennifer Meyers

H

ip-hop in Logan has a name, and a company. It’s been a long time coming.

Mo Eastmond, the man behind the hiphop scene in Logan, was introduced to the genre as a kid by his sister, Rachel.

“She worked at Greywhale for many years,” he explains. “She would come home from work and say, ‘I got a free promo, check it out.’ She hooked me up with music by Grandmaster Flash, M.C. Hammer and stuff like that. When I started getting into hip-hop and got my first pair of turntables, she was the first one to give me some records.”

One of the major things that attracted him to hiphop and kindled his interest in it, was how fresh and uncommon it was for the Cache Valley area.

“It was the lack of it being where I was,” Eastmond says. “It was my way to branch out. When I was a kid you were either into rock or some eclectic music. I thought ‘look at these guys on the East Coast’ and ‘look at these guys on the West Coast’ and even ‘look at what they’re doing down in Salt Lake.’ It was very cool, and we didn’t have that in Logan. It allowed me to do my own thing because literally no one was doing it.”

Center photos: Logan hip-hop artist Mo Eastmond works in the control room at Why Sound in Logan last Thursday. Top right: Troy Siddoway, left, and Eastmond set up at Why Sound. Bottom right: Eastmond raps in a recording studio at Why Sound.

Taking in the full hip-hop lifestyle, Eastmond began break dancing and doing graffiti art, as well as mixing records and rapping. He formed a hiphop club while he was a student at Logan High School to use as an outlet and so he could perform at assemblies. He also helped form a hip-hop funk rock band because in the early days of this hiphop renaissance. “I couldn’t perform or do shows unless it was with metal bands.”

Once he graduated high school in 2004, Eastmond realized that there was no one doing hip-hop shows in Logan, so he started throwing his own shows with a couple other people. It was this collaboration that his entertainment company was founded upon.

“I turned it into a company called StreetDef Entertainment and we’ve been doing hip-hop shows around town ever since. If there is hip-hop going on our crew is usually the one that’s doing it.”

Now hip-hop seems to be finding its legs in the valley, thanks in no small part to Eastmond and his team.

“The StreetDef crew has about eight DJs and

five or six MCs that are here in Logan. We do artist management, we throw shows, we run shows.”

One of the major events that StreetDef has put together was the InTents series that took place up near Preston. The series, which took place last year, was a set of four two-day festivals spread across the summer months. The turnout for the event was around 300 to 400 people. StreetDef also sets up turntables on Main Street every year for the Cruise In and has performed to packed rooms at Why Sound.

Still, for all the success the hip-hop scene has seen in Logan, the going has been slow and there are still goals which haven’t been accomplished.

“We’re just barely getting into bars now,” Eastmond states. “We also have another group we’ve been working on too called The Beat Slum … they do a lot more drum and bass, house, techno …

We’re trying to come at it from all angles. We’ve been really, really trying to build the scene up here as a hip-hop scene.

“We’re also in the works of opening a record shop in Logan. I have over 5,000 records that I got from Uprok which is the hip-hop mecca of Utah.

They actually gave me half of their store to start a store up here ... so they get props for helping change Logan for the better.”

Eastmond hopes that the store, once opened, will not only expose more local residents to hip-hop, but also make it more alluring for bigger artists to come perform and promote their work in Logan.

Already he’s working to get Dead Prez and Chali 2na, from Jurassic 5, out here to perform during the Cruise In. Currently StreetDef is busy with its monthly Logan Hip-Hop series at Why Sound, number six of which will take place March 19. Each month the focus is on a different aspect of hip-hop, such as breakdancing, freestyle rapping, or heavy beats.

Eastmond would like to dedicate a future set of the series to graffiti art, and is working to set up some special walls in front of the historic courthouse for local artists to have a go at.

One thing he wants to make clear though is that when he talks about hip-hop, it’s not the kind of thing people are used to seeing on TV. While some of the material is probably best suited for those 18 or up, the focus isn’t on drugs or gangs.

“I would not by any means classify it under rap, even though it is rap. It’s not gangsta rap and it’s got nothing to do with thuggin’ or drugs. It’s more just our life stories or poems,” Eastmond says.

“Our hip-hop is very conscious. We’re writing about life and the way we perceive life, the way it’s helping us or hindering us. The MCs under the StreetDef label are really smart people that are all about learning, knowledge, growth.”

Aside from his work promoting artists, running shows and opening a store, Eastmond is using up the rest of his time to record his first solo album.

“Isaac Cook, my second in command, and Uprok deserve special thanks for all their help,” he notes.

All of this work isn’t exactly what Eastmond had in mind when he began getting into hip-hop, but he’ll take it.

“It’s crazy, it’s totally turned into a full-time job, which is amazing, but I still have time for my music, which is cool.”

Story by Casey Rock Photos by Jennifer Meyers

H

ip-hop in Logan has a name, and a company. It’s been a long time coming.

Mo Eastmond, the man behind the hiphop scene in Logan, was introduced to the genre as a kid by his sister, Rachel.

“She worked at Greywhale for many years,” he explains. “She would come home from work and say, ‘I got a free promo, check it out.’ She hooked me up with music by Grandmaster Flash, M.C. Hammer and stuff like that. When I started getting into hip-hop and got my first pair of turntables, she was the first one to give me some records.”

One of the major things that attracted him to hiphop and kindled his interest in it, was how fresh and uncommon it was for the Cache Valley area.

“It was the lack of it being where I was,” Eastmond says. “It was my way to branch out. When I was a kid you were either into rock or some eclectic music. I thought ‘look at these guys on the East Coast’ and ‘look at these guys on the West Coast’ and even ‘look at what they’re doing down in Salt Lake.’ It was very cool, and we didn’t have that in Logan. It allowed me to do my own thing because literally no one was doing it.”

Center photos: Logan hip-hop artist Mo Eastmond works in the control room at Why Sound in Logan last Thursday. Top right: Troy Siddoway, left, and Eastmond set up at Why Sound. Bottom right: Eastmond raps in a recording studio at Why Sound.

Taking in the full hip-hop lifestyle, Eastmond began break dancing and doing graffiti art, as well as mixing records and rapping. He formed a hiphop club while he was a student at Logan High School to use as an outlet and so he could perform at assemblies. He also helped form a hip-hop funk rock band because in the early days of this hiphop renaissance. “I couldn’t perform or do shows unless it was with metal bands.”

Cypress String Quartet concert

O

n Thursday, March 31, the Chamber Music Society of Logan will present the Cypress String Quartet at Utah State University’s Performance Hall.

Known for its elegant performances, the Cypress’s sound has been called “beautifully proportioned and powerful” by the Washington Post, and the ensemble has been singled out

by Chamber Music Magazine as “a Generation X ensemble to watch.”

The Cypress String Quartet formed in 1996 in San Francisco and during its first rehearsals together created a now-signature sound through intense readings of J.S. Bach’s Chorales. Built up from the bottom register of the quartet and layered like a pyramid, the resulting sound is clear and transparent, allowing the texture of the music to be discerned immediately.

Now, on top of a busy schedule of over 90 concerts each year at venues across the US and internationally, including major concert halls and series such as the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, Stanford Lively Arts, ,Krannert Center and Ravinia Festival, the Cypress String Quartet is a vibrant member

of the San Francisco arts commuian and Asian dance rhythms, using nity and is dedicated to reflecting string instruments in combination and enriching the city’s cultural and impressionistic effects.

t’s a wonder the Easter bunny can find Easter because I sure couldn’t without a computer or a religious consultation. Easter is the Rubik’s cube of holidays defying you to solve the puzzle on your own. From year to year, it can be in completely different months.

It’s a carnival sideshow combination of religion, math, meteorology and ancient civilizations.

To complicate things further, it’s a most sacred holiday to some, and an egg and candy festival to others. There are magical bunnies that hide multicolored chicken eggs and perhaps more magically lay chocolate eggs. There are pink and yellow baby chicks made out of marshmallow. Some people roll hardboiled eggs down hills for seemingly no particular reason other than to feed the seagulls that mysteriously appear to clean up the carnage. How do the seagulls know when Easter is?

Christmas is equally weird with baby Jesus vying for time with a fat man who flies around the world powered only by reindeer, but at least more reasonable minds have settled on Dec. 25 so that both craven merchants and true believers can make plans. Easter makes you really work at it. Easter is 20 days later this year than it was last year.

So, how do you know when it’s Easter? I’m sure you can Google the entire history yourself, so I will only paraphrase for you.

Slightly Off Center

By Dennis Hinkamp

Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs next after the vernal equinox.

The vernal equinox is a fixed date even though the real definition of the vernal equinox is a precise measurement. It is the time at which the apparent longitude of the sun is zero degrees.

I have no idea what that last sentence means, but I think of the vernal equinox as the first day of spring or the midway point between the longest night of the year and the longest day of the year. I also think of Vernal, Utah.

If you mix in the Gregorian calendar (the same band that made chanting popular) and the Julian calendar (made famous by Caesar rather than Childs) you further complicate things. As you might have guessed, a full moon varies a little depending on where in the world you are. If the full moon appends in the middle of a sunny day, is it really a full moon?

Throw in the Internation-

al Date Line and the difference between ecclesiastical full moons and astronomical full moons and most people might as well throw a dart at a calendar to figure out when to celebrate Easter.

Basically what you need to know is that Easter can neither fall earlier than March 22 nor later than April 25. Luckily we have the Internet to help us determine when.

Progressing from frustrating holidays to daily life, this whole Easter thing reminds me of Daylight Saving Time and all this “spring forward” and “fall backwards” nonsense. The beginning of Daylight Saving Time starts in winter and the end is not until well into fall. In fact, under the new definition of Daylight Saving Time, we observe it for more than half the year. So, Daylight Saving Time should be considered the norm. Thus, we should refer to what is referred to as Standard Daylight Time as Daylight Loss Time.

One good thing about this is that it makes Logan not celebrating the Fourth of July on the fourth of July seem trivial.

In case you are wondering, Dennis Hinkamp would like to confirm that Easter 2011 falls on April 24.

All four wheels sputtered and skidded shooting rocks sailing while the engine roared like a pack of hungry lions.

As we wheelied up the jump, my heart pounded like a hammer.

We soared 50 feet into the air while the engine whined behind us.

As we went down my stomach lurched up into my chest.

We plunged into the ground activating the shocks.

We landed with a dull thud and a crunch of leaves.

We prepared for the final jump.

As we sailed off, the engine groaned with laughter.

Journalist takes readers back to future

By The Associated Press

A

h, the 1980s. Those carefree years spent spinning the gears of Rubik’s Cubes, popping Pac-Man cartridges into Atari consoles, slipping on legwarmers or parachute pants, and checking out the latest episodes of “Family Ties,” ‘’Diff’rent Strokes” or “Knight Rider.”

That’s one remembrance.

Here’s David Sirota’s: Those carefree years spent sitting idly and naively by as a cabal of ill-willed corporate leviathans and backward-looking governmental decision-makers put their stamp on a society whose seemingly innocuous, kitschy pop culture masked a me-first, militaristic out-

look that is having negative ramifications in the 21st century.

Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout, Sirota?

It’s an oversimplification of Sirota’s thesis, but the journalist and radio host’s book, “Back to Our Future: How the 1980s Explain the World We Live in Now — Our Culture, Our Politics, Our Everything,” is indeed about what he sees as a return to 1980s-style themes and mindset in today’s society.

Look no further, Sirota says, than the “greed is good” ethos of “Wall Street” villain Gordon Gekko playing itself out in the massive swindle by Bernie Madoff. Or, he says, witness President George W. Bush

swooping down on an aircraft carrier “Top Gun”-style to proclaim victory in his dogfight against a squadron of Soviet warplanes — er — the Iraqi army.

“Now today, almost every major cultural touchstone is rooted in the 1980s — whether obviously or subtly,” Sirota writes.

“Back to Our Future” is thought-provoking and worth reading — if, that is, you’re willing to suspend a little disbelief.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that the 1980s are making a comeback. How, then, is that any different cal, and history tends to than the 1970s channeling repeat itself regardless of their inner ‘50s in the form place. Of course, the events of “Happy Days,” ‘’Grease” and attitudes of the 1980s or Richard Nixon? are having an impact in American culture is cycli2011. The same could be

said about the 1960s, 1970s or 1990s, for that matter.

Still, Sirota’s book is a fun, engaging read if not taken too seriously.

After all, the guy spends paragraphs wondering why average citizens could track down “The A-Team,” yet the U.S. Army couldn’t, and debating the merits of the Statue of Liberty-asmovable-object ending of “Ghostbusters II.” As the noted ‘80s historian Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast.

If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Or, in Sirota’s worldview, even if you missed the 1980s the first time around, you’ll see them now virtually everywhere you look.
