havasu hottie
THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF MANY LOCAL GIRLS THAT MAKE THE RIVER THAT MUCH HOTTER
Born on Date: sometime in 2000 Members: Dave Baviar: Vocals Tyrone Paige: Guitar George Torres: Bass Dan Kingsly: Drums
MSM: Thanks for taking the time for being here with Mob Scene Magazine, let us get started. SC: Thanks guys, it is really cool that you guys are doing this. MSM: First off, who is Soul Clown? SC: Well, we got George on Bass here, Tyrone playing the guitar, Dan on drums, and Aaron handling the vocals. We’ve gone through some lineup changes, but musically we are working as a tighter unit. Aaron just climbed on board with us… very recently. MSM: Being from Havasu and being one of the if not the biggest local bands here, what do you see for your band now that the town is really coming around to the music scene? SC: Ha ha, thanks. Soul Clown is playing more all age shows. Before, the band would mainly stick to 21+ because kids were not really receptive to hard rock compared to other genres. The band played, I believe, 2 all ages shows in 3
years. Since music has broadened a bit here, it’s easier for us to say, “Hey, we’re Soul Clown, remember this song?” MSM: What can we expect to see from SC in the year to come? New CD? Any major shows? SC: In the year to come, we plan on a new CD, we are currently writing new material and choosing a local studio to try out. Ummm we play a new song at a show here and there. As for “major” shows, we have several late March dates that we are really stoked about. March 24th, we’ll be playing at the Nautical Inn located on the island in lake Havasu City. That is a huge Spring Break event we were invited to put on by “The B.E.A.C.H.” www.azbeachpatrol.com. FOX-TV will be there filming the events as well. March 25th, we’ll be performing at The Havasu Underground with a gang of hip hop acts like Woodpile and Cut Throat Tragedy. March 26th, we’ll end our weekend with a show with the Phunk Junkeez at Kokomo
Outside Night Club. We should be pretty tired after that busy weekend. MSM: Being that you keep yourselves involved with the local music scene more than most, what do you hope to see for our local and tri-state music followers? SC: What we hope for is that venues will continue to make way for local music. If the people demand local music, the venues will do a almost anything to keep up with the demand. With bands turning out more music and befriending more out of town acts, the music stays fresh and everyone is happy.. MSM: Well, I’m going to let you guys go. Thanks again for talking with us. SC: Thanks to you! Everyone, make sure you get a copy of this magazine! For more information on the band log onto: www.soulclown.net
Kid Rock arrested
Proves once again strip-joints and rock stars just don’t mix! An arrest warrant was issued for Robert Ritchie, 34, better known to all of us as rock singer Kid Rock. Evidently the Kid ,(in true rock star fashion) allegedly socked a Nashville strip club DJ because of his crappy choice in music. Kid Rock was booked through night court and his bond was set at $3,000. Kid, a natural performer a heart,asked reporters covering the story if his hair looked okay. When asked what happened on the night in question ,Kid
replied, “Everything is wonderful. It was a beautiful night.” Duh! For any rockstar thats the way any night starts... he was actually just getting warmed up! Kid Rock was in Nashville to attend and perform at the funeral services of Merle Kilgore. Boy there are times at the bar when I just hate the jukebox selection and sit there waiting for my song to come up. Who knew to just look for the guy and punch him in the face.
YOUR WIFE COULD BE A PORN STAR! Porn Stars are living amongst us -- and your wife could be one of them! “You’d be amazed at the number of ordinary men who are married to famous porn stars and don’t even know it,” states A. J. Podaski, a California based writer who covers the adult-film industry. “More and more XXX actresses want the stability of marriage, but they don’t want to give up the money and glamour of porn. So they just lie about it.” Here are some foolproof ways to tell if your wife is making dirty movies behind your back:
-- Every couple of weeks she has to drive to California to care for a “sick aunt.” -- When in bed, she just lies there until you yell “Action!” -- Just as you’re about to make love, she asks, “What’s my motivation?” -- She keeps getting mail addressed to “Patty O’Plenty.” -- Whenever you go out, drooling men ask her for her autograph. -- She looks suspiciously like the Hustler pin-up in your neighbor’s garage. -- She knows sexual positions that would put a circus contortionist in the hospital.
Bill Gates poses for Teen Beat Magazine? Well even though these photos have recently been debunked as being part of a photo shoot aimed for a bunch of pubescent teens to clamor over, the truth behind them may still be just as disturbing. I guess with the release of Microsoft Windows program in ‘85, some public relations manager thought it would be a good idea to have this uber-nerd spread over his desk giving his own version of cyber love. Needless to say the PR firm has been probably been destroyed by the Microsoft empire.
A great bar game, any number of people may play. High buzz factor. Supplies: people and beer, the basics. But what’s really important is to have someone who knows all ten phrases. The person who knows all the phrases begins, one phrase a time. The game follows the same routine as the Twelve Days of Christmas. So, the sixth person in the circle would have to repeat the sixth phrase, as well as the previous five. If you mess up a phrase, you drink the number of phrases you had to complete, and then start over at the first phrase. This continues until the game is completed, saying all ten without screwing up.
The phrases are: 1.Big Chicken 2.Cute Ducks 3.Brown Bears 4.Hairy Running Hares 5.Fat Females Sitting, Sipping Scotch, and Smoking Cigarettes 6.Sheets Slit by Sam the Sheet Slitter 7.Sexy Siamese Sailors Sailing the Seven Seas 8.Echoing Egotists Echoing Egotistical Ecstasies 9.Naughty Knocked Up Nuns Navigating the Nigerian Desert Towards the Nunnery 10.Fig Pluckers Plucking Figs, I’m not a Fig plucker or a Fig Pluckers Son but I’ll Pluck Figs until the Fig Plucking’s Done!

After playing Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 in action, I no longer had the thrill or ambition to play Resident Evil 3 Nemesis and Code Veronica. I also wasn’t interested in playing the new GameCube re-release of the Resident Evils. Recently I played the demo of Resident Evil 4 before its release date. Having that little taste of Resident Evil 4, I saw myself in line at a local game store purchasing Resident Evil 4 on the release date anxious to log in some serious hours in front of the tube.
I really have to give it up to Capcom. this game brought back all the excitement and interest that I had with the very first Resident Evil. Within the first five minutes of starting the game I got my head chopped off by some unsuspecting villager. I knew then that this game was the s**t!! Forget about all studies on violence in games. If I’m laying down $40+ for a game it better be doing something to my Medulla Oblongata. Anyways, you start out the game as Leon, hired to rescue the President’s daughter from freaked out villagers who only speak Spanish. (Which oddly enough reminded me of some crazy times in Tijuana, except that I was looking for hookers not the presidents daughter). As two police officers escort you to the village in a car, the plot thickens. You go into a villager’s house to ask him a few questions about the President’s daughter only to practically come out with your head chopped off. From that point, the game leaps you into the action! Let me say this game is very fast! It’s like playing a Golden Eye game but with the camera angle allowing you to see your character. This adds more tension to the game because when enemies get close to you, are face with a decision to fight or run.
The controls are very smooth. You can switch from your weapon of choice to your knife in a quick moment. Even though your start off with a knife and pistol don’t be discouraged. The amount of weapons will increase throughout the course of the game. And not only that, but you are allowed to increase the power, capacity and reload time of each gun that you have obtained. You also can run if you are in a tight situation. The camera is set perfect which creates a feel of uneasiness when you are fighting villains. Also when controlling your guns they have an infrared beam that you can use to target your enemies. The missions give this game so much energy, that gamers who enjoy great games will play through Resident Evil 4 more than once. The music in the game is very eerie. It fits the mood, which makes you not want to go down that dark country road or hallway. Most of all, it keeps you on your toes to expect the unexpected. The music really keeps you into the game and never makes you lose interest. Even if this game didn’t have music, it would never miss a beat. This is the game of the year to get for Gamecube!!
? Like an angry ex-girlfriend Only if Tekken 5 comes to PS2 with little advance warning. This is definitely the high point of the Tekken series and has everything a fighting game needs. It is filled with exotic locations, driving background music to get you in the mood, and for those of you that don’t get out much... Namco has included some voluptuous women to put your digital fists on. So, although it is still not OK to hit a girl... In this game you better not just hit her, you better beat the s**t out of her.

As we enter March and the hope for warmer weather, we here at MSM can hardly wait for the opportunity to partake in a holiday so wrought with tradition and culture as St. Patrick’s day... Ok, so we just want another excuse to drink. That being said, I think what we need to ask ourselves is how a holiday as inscrutably pointless as St. Patrick’s Day has managed to enjoy national recognition for so long. Clearly, our answer must relate to the most widely revered celebratory habit--excessive intoxication. If we start by assuming that the essence of St. Patrick’s Day is an excuse to get drunk, the rest of the pieces fall into place. St. Patrick is nothing more than a proxy, I’m afraid, the immunizing facade of an otherwise intolerably prurient occasion. But why an Irish saint? Simple. In order to convey to the masses the desired end of alcohol consumption, our holiday planners must have considered that any celebration centered around another culture imports that culture’s traditions. Which cultures are world renowned for their drinking habits? The Irish, the Germans, and the Russians. Since the notion of a German or Russian saint is akin to inverting space-time, the impotent land of the Irish was chosen as a far less unsettling cultural focus. What the hell is it with those damn Leprechauns and where is that pot of gold they keep hiding from everyone? With all this intolerable rain we have had the past couple of months we’ve had our share of rainbows too. MSM has set out and found one of those rascally bastards to find out what they’re all about. MSM: Why has it been so damn hard to catch one of you guys in Havasu? L: Man I’m Irish, have you seen my skin... It’s practicaly transparent. One good heat wave and I’m one crispy looking lucky charm. MSM: What’s up with that Lucky Charm guy? You don’t seem as cute and friendly as him. L: That guy’s a sellout and if I ever run into him I’ll give him someof thatmarshmallowy goodness he’s always pushin! MSM: What life like being a Leprechaun? L: It’s a hard life. We are all shoemakers and its hard to get a paying gig. I mean
have you seen what those bastard shoe companies are paying those workers in their sweatshops? I finally resorted to going to Hollywood to get into a type of midget porn. MSM: How did that work out for you? L: At first it was unreal and the money was great. Then the novelty wore off and I was left typecast and no one was interested. MSM: So what is it like being Irish? L: Actually it sucks! People think it’s cool but those are just the drunks. Aside from the drinking we ain’t got blarney. First of all, there is no cuisine in Ireland like
Mexican, Chinese, Indian, or even French food. All the Irish like is Guinness and Corned Beef and Cabbage. All these other nationalities have some type of music and has some kind of cool dance. The Irish, we have some crap called a jig. Basically, tiny women in plaid skirts use rapid movements with their legs, and absolutely no movement in the arms... It’s Riverdance all year long. MSM: Wow, I guess that would drive me to drink too!
St. Patricks Day Myths & Legends WHO WAS ST. PATRICK?
St. Patrick was a Christian missionary credited with the conversion of Ireland from paganism. He lived from the late 4th century A.D. to the mid 5th century A.D., so long ago that it’s difficult to separate fact from legend. St. Patrick was born in either Scotland or Wales and was captured and enslaved by an Irish chieftain at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It was during this enslavement that St. Patrick dedicated his life to God. He would eventually escape his captives and Ireland and begin his life studying to become a priest. St. Patrick was only to be called back to Ireland through dreams and visions. Arriving back in Ireland, he commenced an incredible mission, traveling across the country, preaching and baptizing, ordaining priests and bishops, erecting churches and establishing places of learning and
worship, despite constant threats to his life. It has been said that he and his disciples were responsible for converting almost all the population of Ireland to Christianity.
LEGEND OF THE SERPENTS
The most famous legend about St. Patrick is that he miraculously drove snakes and all venomous beasts from Ireland by banging a drum. Even to touch Irish soil was purported to be instant death for any such creature. However, this legend is probably a metaphor for his driving the pagans from Ireland, as snakes were often associated with pagan worship.
WHY THE SHAMROCK?
Finding that the pagan Irish had great difficulty comprehending the doctrine of the Trinity, St. Patrick
held up a shamrock (similar to a three-leaf clover) to show how the three leaves combined to make a single plant, just as the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost combined to make the holy Trinity. The Irish understood at once, and from that time the shamrock has been the symbol of the land. Irishmen wear it in their hats on the saint’s day.
WHY MARCH 17?
Some sources states that on March 17, 1762, a group of Irish-born soldiers, en route to the local tavern of renown to honor their patron saint, staged the first parade in colonial New York, complete with marching bands and colorful banners. Bystanders and passerby’s joined the promenade, singing Irish ballads and dancing down the cobblestones. The event was so popular it has been repeated annually since then.
National Music Reviews 3 Doors Down “Seventeen Days” sees 3 Doors Down take their Southern rock style and give it a harder, more metal edge (thanks in no small part to producer Johnny K, who has also worked with Disturbed and Drowning Pool). “The Real Life” alternates a wall of sound with more restrained choruses (perhaps they were influenced by Nickelback during their summer tour in 2004?), and harder/ angrier songs like “For Today” and “Right Where I Belong” definitely show that 3DD is heading in a more hard-rock direction. The group returns to its trademark sound in the final track, the ballad “Here By Me”, which blends a quiet melody with tender lyrics and a deeply personal vocal delivery.
Willie Nelson There are plenty of other Willie Nelson compilations, but this one’s different. It taps Nelson’s prowess both as a singing songwriter and an interpreter of others’ tunes. And while these 20 selections span his entire career-beginning with his smoky demo of “Crazy” that was the blueprint for Patsy Cline’s historic performance--the accent’s on his contemporary material. Die-hard Nelson fans need not fear. His recent duets with R&B singer Francine Reed (“Funny How Time Slips Away”), B.B. King (“Night Life”), Lee Ann Womack (“Mendocino Country Line”), and even pop star Brian McKnight (“Don’t Fade Away”) possess the dusty mix of fragility and wisdom
that has become his late-career vocal signature. On Nelson’s tongue, even the lyrics to the Muppets’ “Rainbow Connection” are a wistful contemplation of life, made all the more poignant by his spare acoustic guitar accompaniment. Nelson’s earlier touchstones are here, too. There’s his first solo hit--1962’s “Touch Me”--plus “Whiskey River,” “Good Times,” “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” his “Pancho and Lefty” duet with Merle Haggard and, of course, “Funny How Time Slips Away.” It’s all proof that rather than let his own time slip away, the 71year-old Texan has etched his art all over it.
gwen stefani For the remaining No Doubt fans who hopped on board because of the band’s early ties to So-Cal punk and ska, those who vastly prefer the band’s rock side and wished they indulged less in the pop world: You can definitely skip this one. You not only won’t like it, you’ll probably find it to be utterly indigestible. To everyone else -- people who appreciated that No Doubt were a more innovative band than they were given credit for, people who don’t think pop and art are necessarily polar opposites, and people who understood and even appreciated No Doubt’s integration of reggae and hip-hop into Rock Steady, then hang on, because this is a flat-out amazing ride. This album is more distinctly “pop” than any No Doubt album, but it also makes some major artistic reaches, especially in its attempt to meld the best of current Top 40 hip-hop with charging, late ‘80s pop and then layering the package with distinct references to modern Japanese pop culture. It’s weird for an album that sounds so distinctly Top 40 but at the
same time is musically adventurous. The bulk of Love.Angel.Music.Baby is to be ignored by critics because its art is in recreating and playing with decidedly pop formats. Likewise, No Doubt fans who either empathized with Stefani’s personal lyrics on Tragic Kingdom and Return to Saturn or who liked their punked-up, skainfluenced take on ‘90s pop/rock stand a good chance at not just being disappointed, but also despising this album. But with an open mind and a deep love for some of the best aspects of mainstream pop music , Stefani’s album of can come off sounding like the greatest of artistic achievements.
Jay-Z Linkin Park I’ve always been a big fan of Jay-Z since his album, “The Blueprint” and of Linkin Park since their first album, “Hybrid Theory.” When I found out they would be collaborating on a project, I knew I’d have to give it a listen. Fans who are expecting a full-length CD of mashed-up songs will be disappointed when they find out there are only six songs on the EP. On the bright side, “Collision Course” is a two-disc offering. The other disc is a DVD featuring a documentary of the album’s recording and a live performance filmed in July 2004. Both features should be interesting to fans and aspiring musicians/producers. “Collision Course” is no doubt an excellent offering that both rock and rap fans can enjoy. The only gripe is the length: six tracks lasting a little more than twenty-one minutes. With such a short running time, you can’t help but feel there’s a lot of potential not being fulfilled. However, if you can overlook this shortcoming, you’ll be in for a treat that’s worth every dime of the purchase price.
1. Lake Havasu City, AZ
Havasu is the mother of all spring break spots, it never fails to entertain college kids as well as vacationers from all over the Southwest. Whether its the hot weather and hard bodies during the day, or partying under the starry nights, Havasu has it all. It is definitely the place to be if you want hot days and even hotter nights. This is the place to be during Spring Break if you want to party all day long and well into the night. There is the ever popular Kokomo nighzt club, bringing thousands of college kids together every night. Havasu’s newest club on the river, Red Room, offers an exotic blend of Havasu with a Vegas feel.
2. Cancun, Mexico
If Mexico’s Acapulco is perfect for couples and singles alike, Cancun is the Mexican answer to Daytona Beach. Cancun offers dwellers a cheap and affordable excursion with a more student-friendly drinking age and currency factor. The nightclubs are great, the beaches are second to none and the locals will not be able to tell whether your Spanish is off or simply drunk and stuttering.
3. Daytona Beach
4. South Padre
Once the leader amongst spring break destinations, Daytona Beach is one of the most inexpensive choices for students. Daytona has so much to offer its visitors, and is in an experience unlike any other: a sure-fire way to break up any couple. Perhaps no other spot is as synonymous with spring break.
5. New Orleans
Perfect timing, now that all of the insane have left the Big Easy after Mardi Gras. Gather some friends and head down south on a collision course with the headquarters of hedonism. From the obvious adventures on Bourbon Street to the tropical environment of charming Louisiana, New Orleans is a safe bet for any group of reckless and party-hungry adults.
Somewhere between Texas and Mexico you will find over 150,000 sun-seekers sprawled over 34 miles of beach area. South Padre is a popular spring break destination partially because the border town of Matamoros is only a half-hour away and the drinking age cannot even be spotted on the horizon. Between endless body shots, bikini contests and bungee jumps, South Padre offers “anything goes” partying in the Texan sun.
6. New York City
Admittedly, most spring break tourists are not 21 yet, so many of the Big Apple’s offerings may be off the menu for you, but regardless, NYC has so much to offer in sights, restaurants, museums (and yes, bars and clubs that under-age kids can get into) that you should have no problem having a memorable time. And you’ll wish to return once you are of age to really experience NYC’s nightlife.
7. South Beach Admittedly, South Beach is more about martinis than beer. But with its star-filled tourists, a good time is in the cards. This is almost the best spot for a couple, as wet T-shirt dances are rare. South Beach will also allow for some rest and relaxation despite partying excessively, whereas most of the other destinations provide for raw decadence. But at South Beach, you can lie in the sun peacefully, drink in hand, of course, and work on your tan until the sunset. From then, you can hit the beach for some sand dancing. 9. Dominican Republic The Dominican Republic is also growing as a favorite amongst spring breakers. In fact, unlike other spots, the DR offers some fairly reasonably priced accommodations -- even for late planners. It’s a great party spot, with bomb beaches and beautiful people, but is nowhere as debaucheryladen as Daytona, South Padre, Cancun or Havasu for that matter. Regardless, it will provide for a nice break from exam madness.
8. Key West It’s funny because Key West practically makes any party list. If you have ever visited Key West, it seems like that spring break takes place 52 weeks out of the year. Of course, Key West offers revelers far more than boozing and bathing along the waterfront, but for those looking for a good time during Spring Break is there really anything other than breasts and booze?
10. New England Not everyone is fortunate enough to head south for the break, and many even wish to stay in fairly snowy and cold weather (yeah right, it’s called dissonance). Nonetheless, some of the best spring breaks can be spent skiing up north. There’s nothing like snowboarding all day, and then coming into the cabin for some soup, beer and crackers. The drinking just continues until you realize that you must be up in an hour or so. While hotel rooms are expensive, you should rent a cabin with a small group and just let loose for a memorable time.

Making our rounds looking for the music scene in Havasu we came across the Underground’s Metal Fest. Although we were only caught the first two acts they definitely set the stage for some good old fashion metal headbanging. The first band Defied from Phoenix managed to put on a hard hitting show despite it being their 2nd show together. With the exception of the guitarist, the rest of the band have played in other bands together. The members (Omar - singer, Robert - Bass, Andrew - drums and Morris - guitar) had a great handle on the music and vocals but seemed to be out of tune in their stage performance. Omar was fun to watch and has a great talent in his voice as well as knowing how to work the stage. He did how ever lack the know how to get the crowd really going. I can see great things to come for Defied as they fall into sync with one another. The second band Awaken from Prescott has been together for 3 1/2 years. This was their first time to Havasu and mainly played only the Prescott, Flagstaff and Phoenix area. These guys were really exciting to watch. They had a stage presence that was huge. They were able to create so much energy that working the crowd was a breeze. Even when the mic went out in the start of the 2nd song they were able to keep they crowd moving with some impromptu guitar licks and drum beats letting the singer to fix the problem. The band is made up of 5 guys: Brian - vocals, Charles - lead guitar, Ryan - rhythm guitar, Chris - bass, Jeff - Drums. When asked what the band and the music was to him, Brian told me “We are Emotion to the extreme with enough energy to power a city, no matter how big or small the crowd is we play with are all every time.”
Blackjack is probably one of the most popular games in a casino. There are probably many reasons for this, ease of play, speed of the game, or maybe it’s just the excitement of it, but one thing for sure, Blackjack is fun! When you make up a “winning” method, make sure you take into consideration what the casinos use. The majority of casinos use a four-deck play but some casinos might vary the number of decks. So, before you start betting your bus fare back to where ever you came from, make sure you bet carefully and remember, Blackjack is only a game, but the second you start putting money down it becomes an investment, so be careful. The basic rule for this game is: Getting 21 or as close to 21 without going over and beating the dealer’s hand. Now, before you get dealt any cards, the player, that’s you, must place a bet. The player does this by putting the chips or money in the area designated on the Blackjack table; it’s usually a little spot in front of you on the table. The dealer will deal two cards to each player and then to himself. One of dealer’s cards is dealt face up and one is dealt face down. Kings, Queens, Jacks (the face cards) are all worth ten points, the Ace can count as either a 1 or an 11 point card (this is your choice on what value you want to make the ace) and all the other cards are counted as what their value indicates (so the 7 of hearts count as a 7). Blackjack!! If the player catches an Ace and a 10-point card (10, Jack, Queen, or King) he/she wins!! However, if the dealer also gets blackjack then it is a standoff (all ties or pushes are considered standoffs). A winning blackjack pays the player 3 to 2. Hit or Stand: A hit means to have the dealer give you another card. You can indicate this by a hand gesture to the dealer or just say hit me. To stand means that you want to stick with the cards you currently have, indicate this by putting your wager over your cards or turning the cards in a horizontal direction, basically to show you don’t want anymore. If you ask for a hit and you go over 21, you give in your cards and your wager is lost. Double Down: Means that you can double your bet on the first two cards and draw only one more card to improve your hand. Splitting Pairs: If the first two cards a player is dealt are a pair, the player may split them into two separate hands, bet the same amount on each and then play them separately. Aces receive only one additional card and after the split if you get an Ace and a 10 it counts as 21 and not as blackjack. Insurance: If the dealers face up card is an ace, the player may take insurance, he can bet one-half his original bet, but not more. If the dealer’s down card is a 10 or face card then the player wins 2 to 1, but if it is any other card then the dealer will win. Surrender: When permitted, a player may give up the first two cards he draws and loses 1/2 of his original bet. One other rule, a dealer must draw on 16 and stand on 17. With a little luck and a decent bankroll, you knows maybe you can create your on story on how you conquered a casino (Just like those guys from MIT). Happy hunting!
