Every year, right around now-ish, I’m bombarded by crazy football fans because I don’t like or know about football. At this point in time, I honestly have no idea who is playing in the Super Bowl this weekend (at least I know when the Super Bowl is!) Half the time, I don’t even know what sports are. What are sports? I don’t understand them. My knowledge of sports is limited to crew and rock climbing (Does that even count as a sport?)

So this year, in celebration of my lack of sports, I will be watching the Puppy Bowl, which is something I know ALL about. Puppies.

I really appreciate that Animal Planet gives us non-sports fan a reprieve every Super Bowl Sunday with a starting line-up of really cute dogs. They even give them pretty cute names like “Fumble” and “Marbles” and give them totally legitimate personalities traits such as “loves to steal slippers” and “is a really soft super snuggler.” All I have to say is, I’m hooked.

Though I will admit they are lacking in the diversity department. Where are all the squishy faced dogs? I think I smell a pug and french bulldog conspiracy in here...

And with the Puppy Bowl, there’s none of this “OMG *insert artist’s name* lip-synched the National Anthem/Halftime Show/etc.” Animal Planet provides you a fool-proof halftime show of cuteness. Last year’s was the Kitty Halftime Show, brought to you by Bissell. This year, you can expect the same mid-game cuteness, without all the drama. Just kittehs playing with cat toys for several minutes.

There is also the addition of the ultra slow-mo cute cam to catch all of the water-shaking, tail wagging, drying-off action after the young pups fall into the water bowl, again. Then of course, no game would be complete without cheerleaders, and the puppy bowl provides you with some of the finest: hedgehog cheerleaders, complete with tutus and cute outfits. Last, but not least, we can’t forget the blimp piloting hamsters that keep an eye on the game from above.

There is literally no reason for you to watch grown men jump on top of one another for a couple hours, while corporations shell out millions for 30-second commercial segments, when you can watch cute animals playing tugof-war, falling into water bowls and playing dress up with cheerleader outfits at the same time. I know my mind is made up. I’m rooting for Harry, personally. He’s a lovable little terror and the sweetest looking chocolate Dachshund I’ve seen all year.

I like pretty short haired women and breakfast food

» Scandal: If you are not watching

BUZZ'S NEW PRO WRESTLING COLUMN

BY EVAN LYMAN As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a wrestler. In fact, I still do. Pro wrestling is an outrageous fantasy land: a fake sport in which grown men wear flamboyant costumes, talk a whole lot of crap and then pretend to fight each other for shiny belts. Every persona is a caricature that plays on tropes, stereotypes and the audience’s expectations.

It is, in short, the male equivalent of a soap opera. There are all the evil twins, resurrected ghosts, ridiculous plot twists and dysfunctional relationships you could find on your favorite network in the afternoon with the added bonus of guys diving off giant ladders through tables.

What’s not to like?

For that reason, I have decided that one of the many things missing from buzz is a pro wrestling column. With WWE’s Smackdown heading to Assembly Hall on Saturday, Feb. 9, the timing couldn’t be more perfect to kick this thing off. Just like acting, music or any performance-based medium, wrestling has its own complicated jargon and rules that insiders use to describe the business. So with this introduction, I’d like to discuss some basic pro wrestling vocabulary to get the beginners acquainted.

Face: A good guy. This is the character the WWE (or any wrestling promotion) wants you to like. He is “honorable.” He believes in “justice.” He represents all the ideals we teach kids to value. For the past five years, WWE’s top face has been John Cena. The most famous face in wrestling history is Hulk Hogan.

Heel: A bad guy. This is the character the promotion wants you to hate. He will usually do anything to provoke a hostile reaction from the crowd. For the past five years, the WWE’s top heel has been CM Punk. The most famous historical example is Ric Flair.

Turn: A series of events that changes a wrestler’s alignment in the eyes of the crowd. For a face, cheating or turning on the fans will result in a face/heel turn. It’s the opposite for a heel.

See Hulk Hogan’s infamous heel turn in 1996.

These are the bare-bones basics, and the better storylines will keep you guessing at who’s a face, who’s a heel, and who will turn when.

We’ll delve further into wrestling jargon as the column goes on ... EVERY WEEK, RIGHT HERE, IN BUZZ MAGAZINE! (You’re supposed to cheer when I mention the name of the magazine.)

Scandal on Thursday nights, I’m going to need you to explain why.

OK, I admit I didn’t trust Shonda Rhimes after that soapy mess of a show known as Grey’s Anatomy.

Grey’s Anatomy, along with House, occupy a special category of TV known as medical dramas that have long overstayed their welcome, but at least FOX had the good sense to put a stop to madness last year.

Apparently Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World was on the show. What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, Scandal! The show stars Kerry Washington, whose presence always makes me wonder why she didn’t receive more screen time in Django Unchained.

The show is about Olivia Pope (Washington) being an all-around boss who fixes the messes of key political figures in Washington. For those of you who have seen Pulp Fiction, Ms. Pope is D.C.’s very own Mr. Wolf. » Junot Diaz: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is still on my reading list, but right now I’m reading Junot Diaz’s follow up, This is How You Lose Her. Diaz has a way of breaking down anti-racist theory that has made me a fan of his outside of his writing (Is it just me or does he seem relatable for someone with a Pulitzer?) As a writer, he approaches masculinity in a way that is very complex and nuanced. » Black Pepper and Lime Tortilla chips: During my high school years, I would eat some of the worst snacks at the nearby gas station. If it was greasy and covered with artificial “hot” flavor, it was my meal choice. In recent years, I have grown out of these snack habits, but I still like chips. Archer Farms has a brand of tortilla chips that are lime flavored, seasoned with black pepper. I’ve had lime flavor tortilla chips, but never like this.

What I like is that the lime isn’t overly citrusy and despite the salt, the taste isn't overpowering.

E

very year, for a little more than a week, the film industry comes together for this showcase of independent film. The Sundance Film Festival was founded in 1981 by actor Robert Redford and began as a way for filmmakers to develop independent film projects, and has now expanded into the Sundance Institute. Over the years, the festival has been the premier for famous breakout hits such as Reservoir Dogs, Little Miss Sunshine and Napoleon Dynamite. Now we take a look back at some films that didn’t have the same impact once they left the mountains and hit Hollywood.

Happy, Texas When aliens dig up the remains of humanity thousands of years from now, this might be the one object they’ll never figure out. Even with Harmony Korine or Leos Carax, there will always be some reference point of success and acclaim they can attach to those filmmakers. But how Harvey Weinstein, one of the brothers behind Miramax, paid around $10 million for the distribution rights to this is beyond any super intelligence. Or ... maybe not. In the film, two prisoners on the run pretend to be a gay couple in a small Texas town to avoid arrest. Surprisingly, the movie doesn’t always goBUZZ for the easiest jokes you might think of from reading the premise, and it sometimes finds THURSDAY heart in its cartoon characters.

As a small plus, JANUARY 31 corp note...keep always fans of Steve Zahn canthis seesame himsize play a creep who becomes an inevitable fill-in role for much of his 1 movie X 5.417 career. The is simple and relatively amusing for its quick running time, and there’s not much to 1/8th page praise or nitpick. The real interest comes from its enthusiastic response at Sundance in 1999 when NO BUZZ AD 12/27 OR 1/3 Fox Searchlight and Weinstein were both fighting for distribution rights. Weinstein eventually won with his hefty offer, which at the time was the highest purchase of any movie hosted by the festival. Happy, Texas received a small release across America with little promotion later in October and only earned a small fraction of Weinstein’s purchase back. As strange as it is that the Weinsteins didn’t give it much of a chance, the film’s financial failure still serves as a prominent lesson for producers: Crowds in Utah hardly gauge the rest of the country. —Adlai Stevenson Son of Rambow One unexpected star of Sundance 2007 was the British independent drama Son of Rambow.

Set in the 1980s, Son of Rambow tells the story of shy and religious Will and bad boy Lee’s attempts to make an amateur version of the recently released Rambo film First Blood. The film featured several clips from First Blood and was endorsed by Rambo star Sylvester Stallone himself. The much buzzed about film made several critics’ top 10 lists and was even discussed as a possible Academy Award contender. Unfortunately, the movie lost its buzz between the lengthy Jan. 22, 2007 premiere at Sundance and its May 2008 public re-

lease. After a quiet, limited United States release in May 2008, the film virtually disappeared from the public film consciousness. On the positive side, Son of Rambow did manage to earn twice its production costs. —Jamila Tyler Grace is Gone Detailing the Phillips family, the 2007 Sundance film Grace Is Gone depicts the coping father Stanley and his two daughters upon the death of Grace: wife, mother and soldier. Upon the delivery of her passing in the Iraq War, Stanley (John Cusack) takes his daughters for a drive that ultimately turns into a vacation of self-preservation and bonding at the amusement park Enchanted Gardens. While easily both heartwarming and disconsolate, there are a few lacking essentials in the film despite decent critical reviews and making $1,066,141 at the box office. In a nutshell, as Robert Ebert puts it, “[It] is not a great movie, simply functional, but Cusack gives a great performance […] [the] film somehow doesn’t live up to his work.” Essentially, this plot sounds good in theory, but without Cusack, the film would prove as just another typical Lifetime movie special. —Kaitlin Penn In the Soup Undeserving of the label “Sundance flop” is Alexandre Rockwell’s In the Soup. The film tells the story of an aspiring screenwriter Aldolpho Rollo (Steve Buscemi) trying to produce a 500-page script and the “help” he receives from the sketchy, enigmatic would-be producer Joe (Seymour Cassel). In the Soup excelled at Sundance, winning the Grand Jury Prize and defeating Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. Unfortunately, this success did little for the film’s market value; the miniscule

Triton Films bought the rights and the film grossed just more than $250,000 in the U.S. In comparison, now-legendary Miramax Films distributed even more legendary Reservoir Dogs, grossing the picture more than $2.5 million. Nonetheless, In the Soup represents one of the many excellent feats of independent filmmaking in the 1990s.

Born from the tradition of Cassavetes and Jarmusch, Rockwell emphasizes people being people in unusual circumstances, and despite lacking financial success, In the Soup remains an indie classic. —D.J. Dennis Murderball This documentary tells the story of the quadriplegic sport quad rugby, aka Murderball. It follows several athletes who compete for the U.S. national team and how they attempt to face tremendous obstacles while living a not-so-normal life. It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Henry Alex Rubin (Girl, Interrupted) and Dana Adam Shapiro directed this honest and awe inspiring film as they navigate us toward Athens, Greece for the 2004 Olympics. The film won the Audience Award and the Special Jury Prize Award at Sundance, got nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards, but only raked in just more than $1 million at the box office worldwide. It’s a tough subject to get an audience’s attention, but both the critics, and the people who actually saw it, gave it great reviews across the board. Maybe people heard the title and thought it was some cheesy action flick where Sylvester Stallone literally kills people as a Canadian Football League linebacker. I guess we’ll never know. —Patrick Filbin

[non]fiction the best kind of sleep

by Stephanie H. Kim

t was the middle of the night and the branches were tapping against her window again.

The wind quietly wailed and the little monsters wanted to come out and play. But Selah never wanted to. So she quickly tiptoed out of her room before shadows could creep along the walls and make their way to her bedside.

Before fear could overtake her, she ran out and stood in the hallway. She could hear her brothers snoring next door. Her parents’ room lay in darkness. Little butterflies gathered in her tummy with the realization that no one was awake and it was dark everywhere. She didn’t want to go back to her room, at least not alone. While looking around for an alternative solution, she noticed a gleaming light in the far distance.

She stepped into the living room as chills ran down her spine. The length along the cream colored carpet seemed much longer in the dark; it almost resembled a barren desert land. But with her stuffed teddy bear Mimi in hand, she felt brave enough to begin her journey.

Looking right, then left, she mapped out her course of action. Two steps forward, then three to the right, with a trail of 50 straight ahead.

All of this had to be done in the most sly and secretive way or else she’d be found and have to be carried back to the cave of monsters. She wouldn’t want that. Not at all.

With each careful step, she inched closer to the mysterious light. Voices saying words like “Clinton” and “scandal” echoed afar, but those words didn’t mean anything but gibberish. Selah was determined to make it to the light. And after some time, she finally reached the point of destination.

She wiped her forehead and hid behind the wall. As slowly and discreetly as she could, she poked her head beyond the door frame centimeter by centimeter until the source of light was spotted.

There was someone there.

She whipped her head behind the wall so she wouldn’t be seen. With a deep breath, she gathered enough courage to take a closer look.

The mysterious man sat quietly on the couch watching a noisy, black box in front of him. A few seconds later, their eyes met. She was spotted. Selah froze.

“Selah, what are you doing there? Come here,” he said, motioning her over with his hand. He patted the empty space next to him with an inviting smile.

She stepped out of the darkness and into the light, slowly walking toward him. A bashful grin started to form on her face as she sat down.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” he asked as he lifted the blanket. She scooted closer so it could cover her, too.

“The monsters ... they tried to ...” she trailed off.

The noise of the TV lullabied her to sleep as she rested in the protection of her father’s embrace. It was the best kind of sleep; one she’ll never forget.

This story is part of Stephanie’s column, “[non] fiction,” which is a series of fictional pieces.

Trekking the arctic landscape

"Names Swallowed by the Cold" showcases the life of Arctic explorers

by Emily Dorolek

F

or the next two months, the Rare Book & Manuscript Library will be host to journals, drawings, letters and other scripts salvaged from historical Arctic explorations. The event is meant to pay tribute to the Crocker Land Expedition, an ill-fated journey that included two University of Illinois graduates and was co-sponsored by University of Illinois’ Museum of Natural History. The exhibit, titled "Names Swallowed by the Cold: Hidden Histories of Arctic Exploration," offers the public a comprehensive look into the fascinating lives of 19th and 20th century explorers and the harsh realities of exploration (including starvation, cannibalism, murder, frostbite and more!) A sister exhibit will be displayed on the library’s first floor north-south hallway during February, highlighting the European exploration of the Arctic as well as the Crocker Land Expedition.

Adam Doskey, curator and director of the exhibit, began working on this project immediately after graduating from U of I in 2007. During his search through the University’s records, Doskey discovered the University’s extensive collection of materials from various Arctic explorations, but realized the artifacts were in need of some major reorganizing. Doskey decided to compile and organize the materials and create a tribute to the Arctic explorers and their manuscripts. After much collaboration with library director Valerie Hotchkiss and six years of accumulating these Arctic collections, Doskey has finally finished "Names Swallowed by the Cold," his masterpiece.

“It’s a celebration of U of I and a building up of great Arctic collections. It shows a shared mission,” Doskey said.

The four collections on display include the Palmer-Parry Collection, the Sir John Richardson Collection, the Schwatka Arctic Library and the Mercanton Polar Library. Many of the manuscripts included in the collections were purchased in the 1960s by U of I after a physiology professor became interested in the importance of nutrition in Arctic exploration, and particularly fascinated with the work of explorers Sir John Richardson and Frederick Schwatka.

“We don’t necessarily have a lot of documents from the Arctic, but we can tell the story of that history in a different way,” Doskey said.

The Crocker Land Expedition, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, is the focal point of "Names Swallowed by the Cold," as it has strong historical ties to the University.

Headed by U of I graduates W. Elmer Ekblaw and Maurice Tanquary, the 1913 Crocker Land crew set out to find Crocker Land, an island of the coast of Greenland, supposedly sighted

by Arctic explorer Robert Peary in his 1906 trip to Greenland. The doomed Crocker Land journey began with the crew running its boats

aground mid-travel. During the actual expedition, one Inuit guide was murdered by a fellow crew member and another crew member lost a toe to frostbite. The expedition ended when the explorers learned that the island they were looking for was nothing more than a mirage.

Perhaps the most fascinating piece of the whole exhibit comes from Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition across the Northwest Passage.

It is the last known letter written by Franklin, a naturalist and one of the most well-known explorers of the 19th century, that was sent to his best friend and colleague, Sir John Richardson.

Franklin died, along with the rest of his crew, during the 1845 exploration across Alaskan and Canadian territory. By 1848, Richardson and others were concerned about the welfare of Franklin and his travellers, and thus set out on a rescue mission. Franklin’s body would never be found, but several expeditions would follow, setting out to unearth details about the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of the 1845 crew.

"Names Swallowed by the Cold" includes materials from these subsequent expeditions as well. Sir John Richardson headed one such journey in 1854 in which he spoke with Inuit locals to find out more about the missing crew. The locals told Richardson’s team that Franklin and his travelers had resorted to cannibalism after many members died of starvation, scurvy, hypothermia and tuberculosis. Doskey hopes that the unique materials detailing the infamous 1845 expedition and the various follow-up journeys, especially the inclusion of Franklin’s letter, will draw a lot of interested visitors and provide them with a riveting slice of history.

“I think the main thing I want people to bring away from this is to find the true history of Arctic exploration. You shouldn’t necessarily look at all of these narratives about heroes and great men. You should seek out the people who were forgotten, the names swallowed by the cold,” said Doskey.

"Names Swallowed by the Cold" will run until April 8, and Doskey is working on a website to

display all of the items in the exhibit.

“I hope to do a bibliography, a collecting list, of everything they have on an Arctic exploration,” said Doskey, who wants to continue shining a light on Arctic explorers through the website.

The exhibition will also include several accompanying events throughout the month. On Jan. 25, Gillen Wood, a professor in the English department, gave a lecture on the Northwest Passage and the travels of that expedition.

On Feb. 3 at 3 p.m., the exhibit will celebrate Charles Dickens’ birthday by having a staged reading of the play The Frozen Deep, a script written about the adventures of Franklin’s 1845 expedition across the Northwest Passage. Doskey will hold a guided tour of the exhibit on Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. as part of The No. 44 Society meeting. On April 8 at 3 p.m. the exhibit will be closed with a lecture from Dr. Dag Avango of the Royal Institute of Technology about the history and technologies used in the polar regions.

“I was fortunate to get all of these people together,” Doskey said.

Super bowl

A rundown on Super Bowl goodies

by Melissa España

ust because your favorite team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl this year doesn’t mean you can’t have a great night munching on gameday favorites. Make it a party night and invite friends over for classic finger foods and some of the two teams’ trademark foods.

Wings Chicken wings are one of the most popular Super Bowl foods. Whether boneless or traditional, most football fans enjoy scarfing down a plate of this saucy goodness. The thing about wings is that it all depends on the kind of sauce that is used.

To make wings, thaw the chicken the night before. Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer if you own one. A deep skillet will work as well. While the oil is preheating, now would be a good time to sprinkle on any spices you were planning on using on the wings. Salt and pepper add some flavor to them, but using spices isn’t necessary because of the sauces that are going to be used.

When the oil is fully heated, fry the wings until they are a golden brown. When they are done frying, remove from the skillet and let them cool for a couple of minutes. While they cool down, fill a large Ziploc bag with your favorite sauce, place the wings inside and shake the bag until the wings are fully coated.

Chips and dip Chips and dip is a classic that everyone can enjoy because there are so many different types of dip to make. Three easy-to-make dips include salsa, nacho cheese and guacamole.

To make salsa, all you need are fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions and the optional jalapeño peppers.

Chop up all the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl and add salt for some added flavor.

For guacamole, you’ll need about two or three avocados, one tomato, an onion, cilantro and jalapeño peppers if you want it to be spicy. Chop up all the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Make

sure that the avocado is fully mashed up and that there isn’t large chunks of un-mashed avocado.

Nacho cheese dip is a little more complicated to make. There are many different ways to prepare the cheese sauce. An easy way to make it is to first grate cheddar cheese and place it into bowl until it’s time to use it. In a small pot, melt butter and then add white flour and use a whisk to mix it.

Pour in milk and continue to mix the ingredients.

When they have been fully mixed together, slowly add in the cheese and mix together until the dip has reached the consistency desired. If it looks to thick, add more milk. If it’s too watery, keep adding flour and cheese. When you’re done mixing, pour the dip into a bowl and add in chopped jalapeños for that spicy taste.

San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens signature dishes Each city has its own signature dish. San Francisco is known for its sour dough bread and clam chowder. Although not a traditional football food, for those seafood loving friends, a bowl of the city’s trademark soup might sound better than a plate of greasy wings.

Maryland is known for its crab cakes, which are a bit better for watching the game. Crab cakes can either be made at home using pulled crab meat, or they can be bought frozen and baked in an oven.

Watch some food documentaries

by Tina Cochran

A

ccording to the New Oxford American dictionary, a diet is simply the types of food a person habitually eats. The television programs and documentaries listed below, via Netflix, grant qualified insights from the best food ever to the most expensive meal ever. They highlight biographies and essential facts that reveal more than you know about the food you eat, where it comes from and who controls its distributions.

Best Food Ever is a program on The Learning Channel consisting of five episodes that feature the best food in the U.S. You must prepare your stomach for the amazing meals captured on each episode, because they range from massively mouthwatering stuffed omelets the size of a pizza pan to juicy homemade cheddar cheese and Monterey jack nachos topped with barbecue pork.

Fat Head is a documentary by Tom Naughton showing viewers that he could lose weight on a diet of burgers and fries. Nutritionist and doctors back up Tom’s venture to expose the false excuses for the cause of obesity featured in the documentary Super Size Me. He essentially set out on a mission to prove that modern ideas of healthy eating are false.

Food Fight is a documentary directed by Christopher Taylor highlighting the health war between industrial agriculture and people who want to be healthy. Taylor tells of how society has gone from healthy, home cooked meals to processed and genetically modified meals.

Food Matters is a documentary that is a starting point toward giving your diet proper consideration. The directors, James Colquhoun and Carlo Ledesma, successfully produce information on how to build your immune system to avoid cancer-related illnesses. By eating foods such as raw honey, Echinacea and wheat grass, people can stray away from chronic malnutrition.

Freaky Eaters is an entertaining sneak peek into the lives of people risking their own lives because they are addicted to eating only one type of food: sugar, fries, maple syrup, raw meat, etc. This show is also on the Discovery Fit and Health channel because the people who have these addictions eventually seek professional help to switch to a healthier diet.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a visually blissful documentary on sushi. The director, David Gelb, introduces an upscale dining experience of sushi, crafted by the hands of Jiro Ono, that

you couldn’t possibly dream of eating. Jiro’s sushi establishment doesn’t serve drinks or appetizers. He only serves sushi, at $300 a plate, because he is so passionate about his craft and he strives to improve every piece of sushi he makes to be better than the last. Reservations to eat from the hands of this “great chef” must be made a month in advance.

TEDTalks is a Netflix original that informs the world to seek more knowledge about the diets we choose. One of the 14 12-minute episodes explains the history of farms, the growth of mega-farms and the effect it has had on the world since the 1970s. This program can be very captivating, so don’t lose track of time as you zone into each episode.

Getting to know the beeson brothers A conversation with Myles Beeson

by Danny Stankus

The Beeson Brothers in a performance. Used with permission from the Beeson Brothers

I

was able to speak with Myles Beeson, drummer and percussionist of the Beeson Brothers, about family band dynamics, influences, new material and what to expect from their show this coming Thursday at Canopy Club. »buzz: So many bands have been started with brothers such as Kings of Leon, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, Oasis and the list goes on. How does this personally impact your band dynamic? I know you’re the first band I’ve heard that consists entirely of brothers. »Myles Beeson: Right, I’ve been in numerous bands throughout grade school and high school and whatnot, when I was in bands with friends.

It’s more difficult to organize practices and stuff like that in high school, and after high school, everyone went off to college and got jobs. Those bands I was in all split up and I haven’t played with them in eight years, so it’s cool that I'm with my brothers, I’m going to know them five, 10, 20, 30 years from now and we can still play. I’ve basically lost contact with friends over the years, or they’ve moved to different geographical locations, but I know at some point I’ll always be in contact with my brothers. Ryne, who plays lead guitar, I’ve been playing with him – we started together – we were in our first band together, that’s how we started. The band was me, Ryne and my two older sisters, actually, and I’ve been playing with them since, so it worked pretty well. Aside from

8 buzz January 31- February 6, 2013

that, we all have very similar musical influences, which is really cool because we’re all interested in the same thing. Our dad would always turn on the oldies station in the car when we were little; we had a big ‘60s influence, which had a big blues influence. So I think it works well on several levels.

When we were in grade school or high school and we needed to organize practices, we were in the same house, you know? Communication and staying in contact is so much smoother with brothers who are interested in the same thing. So it works really well; we’re on the same page as far as that stuff goes, and again, our first band was with Ryne and I together. We’ve just been playing together for so long, and if you play with other musicians for quite some time, you get tighter.

You play together better. »buzz: Yeah, that’s very cool. It seems like you have a very musical family. A lot of your performances feature your sister as well, doing vocals. »MB: Yeah, like I said, when we started our first band, it was Ryne, me and my two older sisters, Colleen and Kathleen. At the time, Ryne actually played bass. He only switched to guitar about five years ago. He was always a bassist, but he was kind of wild on the bass. He would almost play lead on the bass, so I think it transitioned well to lead guitar. My younger siblings all picked it up because Ryne, Colleen, Kathleen and I are the four oldest, so we decided to make a band when we were fairly young; I was the youngest in that

band at the time. Since then, all our younger siblings would watch us and come to our shows and would see us practice, so they just picked it up.

I’ve got one young sister who plays violin, all my sisters sing, and my younger brothers picked up guitar, bass and other instruments. We’ve got a big family. There are 11 kids, but it’s cool because everybody plays music. »buzz: That’s sweet, especially because you all have the same types of influences. »MB: Yeah, so it’s awesome when we get together over the holidays. One of my older sisters, Kathleen, lives out in Oregon, and she’s got an awesome voice. She plays mandolin, acoustic guitar and a whole bunch of different instruments, so when she comes back for the holidays she joins us for shows. Same with my other sister. So, at any time, there’s eight of us up there, and that’s really fun because we can play similar stuff and we like the same music, so it’s really cool. »buzz: So, is there just a love of performance and singing the blues running through the family? »MB: Yeah, well, when we play with my sisters, we incorporate other styles, too; we play quite a bit of folk music with them as well. Two of my sisters have a folk band, like folk rock, but we play other genres too, especially with them. But the Beeson Brothers, just the four of us, play primarily blues-rock. We listen to a pretty large array of music, but most of it is influenced by that

‘60s and ‘70s music that we would call oldies now, and a lot of those musicians had a blues influence. But we do have a big influence from a lot of newer blues, too, like The Black Keys and Mississippi Blues, like the North Mississippi AllStars. At The Great Cover Up, we covered Stevie Ray Vaughan, who has a Texas blues style, and obviously we’re around Chicago, so we get quite a bit of a Chicago blues influence. But we still cover other genres outside of blues, especially when we play with other musicians like my other siblings and my sisters. »buzz: Yeah, of course. So, throughout the family then, is songwriting impacted at all or do you guys play mostly covers? »MB: No, songwriting is the same because it’s a communication thing. Our family is pretty close, so we talk a lot to each other, so it’s not difficult for us to come up with an idea and share it with one another. During practices, if someone comes up with an idea, we can share pretty easily. We cover some stuff, but it’s a good mix; we’ve got quite a few originals and are coming up with more and more, so we’re pretty excited to get those recorded. »buzz: So, can we expect an EP or an album of originals coming out anytime soon, or this year even? »MB: Yeah, we’re hoping for this year. We’re definitely working on that and we’d like to put out at least an EP or an album sometime soon - hopefully later this year. And like I said, we’ve got a bunch of originals already set that we’re wanting to record and we’ve got more that we’ve been working on. So, I could definitely see something coming soon. That’s what we’re hoping for. »buzz: Cool, that’s very exciting because you guys have done a bunch of big shows. You guys have played The Great Cover Up, you’ve played at Indiana University, and even Summer Camp, so what can we expect for the Canopy Club show coming up? Performance and set list and what-have-you; what do you think about it? »MB: Yeah, the Canopy Club show will be a lot of fun; we’re playing with two other bands. Sonny Stubble is another local band; they’re really awesome. They played at The Great Cover Up, and they also played at Summer Camp. We’re playing with a band called IndigoSun. They’re from Chicago and we’ve played with them before as well. They’ve played at Summer Camp and stuff like that. It’ll be a really good lineup. I think each band is doing an hour set, and we’re going to do a mix of some covers and originals. Like I said, it’ll be mostly blues-rock music — some Mississippi blues and some newer blues, so, yeah, it’ll be a really good time. I think we’re playing 9:40 to 10:40. »buzz: Yeah, sounds like it’s going to be a great show! »MB: Hopefully you can make it out this Thursday.

I don’t know if you’ve heard those other bands, but they’re really fun to play with.

Thursday, Jan. 31, come out to The Canopy Club to witness this great, brotherly band in action. It’s bound to be an incredible time.

rust and bone

by Matt Jones

“Buy One, Get One Free”--you can’t afford *not* to own

By Adlai Stevenson

★★★★✩ r

Rust and Bone, used with permission by Sony and Creative Commons

A

nother disability romance?

So said someone behind me in a Chicago theater when the trailer for Rust and Bone played a few months ago. That’s a genre now? Outside of last year’s The Intouchables, which even then is stretching it, I’m hard-pressed to find many candidates. Even if there was, it’d be hard to set the bar higher than this: A rare movie high that jolts you with nearly every rush of image and sound.

Disregard that smart-ass’s quip: Rust and Bone is less a love story than an unusual relationship that resuscitates the raw marrow of its characters to a soul-renewing transcendence. If you liked When Harry Met Sally, you'll like Rust and Bone.

Both stylish and forthright, the film opens after a rush of superimposed images to scenes of Ali, a father looking for food around a French city with his young son. However, the scene is neither desperate nor bleak. Set to music by James Blake, the scene never becomes a dirge and much of Rust and Bone finds warmth in unfortunate circumstances as well.

As Ali, Matthias Schoenaerts has kept the muscle he displayed in the Oscar-nominated Bullhead, but here with a much more startling physicality barely bottled up by a short fuse developed from lifelong ties to back alleys and bad luck. With nowhere to go, Ali and his son move in to his sister’s apartment to have a roof over their heads.

But Ali hardly comes off as an enduring joe who immediately draws sympathy. He rarely shows his son any love, and even when he sees his sister for the first time in years, they are coerced to hug by an unsuspecting brother-in-law.

He runs into Stéphanie, played by Marion Cotillard, at a nightclub gig after breaking her up from a nasty bar fight with the hopes of following that wobbly strut to bed. Although Ali’s plan doesn’t exactly work out, you don’t have to see a trailer to know that they will meet again. But to guess

what follows would be pretty damn impressive.

Stephanie, unhappy and vain at heart, works as a cheery whale trainer at a SeaWorld-type aquarium by day. But one show goes horribly wrong and she wakes up without her legs in a hospital hours later. Cotillard is in the much showier role compared to Schoenaerts’s, but she wisely remains restrained for most of the movie and her recovery is never corny. If there ever was any doubt about Cottilard’s acting ability, this movie would settle it. But her performance is even more refreshing to see her hit so high after a string of slightly disappointing, overshadowed roles in several American movies.

Ali visits Stephanie months after the accident while she has isolated herself, but he treats her with little sympathy and patience. After dragging her outside, he then leaves her near a park bench so he can go swimming. Hell of a carer, right? But Stephanie is hardly repulsed by Ali’s inconsiderate behavior and soon they are spending a lot of time together as ... friends? Dependents? It’s definitely something else, but they both have a lot to gain from it.

Rust and Bone keeps up an engaging pace with kinetic camera work and quick rhythms. Director Jacques Audiard, as with his very different but effective crime films A Prophet and The Beat that My Heart Skipped, always finds something new and alluring to cut to. It keeps the scenes dynamic and his choice of music is still as catching and surprising as ever with effective use of house music and even Katy Perry’s “Firework.”

Parts in Rust and Bone may come together too conveniently by the end, but the biggest achievement is that it treks as long as it does convincingly.

It hits the screen with rough, vivid texture in the lives of its unsavory characters but ultimately finds hope in them. This sounds cheesy, but Rust and Bone goes beyond its own limits.

THIS WEEK KR ANNERT CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

TH JAN 31 On the Green street bench; credit to Naveen Rajadhyaksha

As

we reach the end of January, the cold winter weather has yet to be a constant problem.

We spend our days scurrying around between buildings in our hats, gloves, scarves and anything else that might lessen the bite of the winter wind until we finally find refuge in a warm building or bus. When we finally get home after a long day, the last thing we want to do is go back outside and brave the elements. But what if you didn’t have a choice? What if you didn’t have a home? What if your home was somewhere out there in that dark, freezing winter night? On any given night in Champaign County, more than 500 people have to face that reality.

They are not alone. The organization C-U at Home is working hard to supply housing for those spending their nights out on the streets. Founded in the spring of 2011 by Melany Jackson, C-U at Home is a glimmering body of hope to those so desperately in need during this chilly winter.

You may not recognize C-U at Home by its name, but you have probably heard about its event, One Winter Night. Last year was the first One Winter Night event, during which volunteers spent a night outside on the sidewalks of Neil Street and the University of Illinois’ Quad to raise money and awareness for the homeless in CU. Last year’s event was a success and raised more than $27,000 to help the homeless. Jackson said she hopes to raise $50,000 for the organization this year.

This year’s One Winter Night takes place Feb. 1. The event occurs at two locations simultaneously: downtown Champaign along Neil Street and the University of Illinois campusontheQuad.AttheNeilStreetlocation,localpublic figures will participate by sleeping in cardboard boxes.

Community members who don’t want to sleep outside can participate by sponsoring a public figure through donations. Some notable participants are the police chiefs of both Champaign and Urbana, Drew Wilder of WCIA and John Rector, Pavlov Media’s regional vice president of sales. Meanwhile, on the Quad, students and residents willdotheirpart.AnyoneiswelcometosleepontheQuad, but C-U at Home asks that each participant raise $50 for the cause.

Jackson’s inspiration for founding C-U at Home began in late 2010. She spent time volunteering at

12 buzz January 31- February 6, 2013

the Champaign-Urbana Canteen Run, an organization that works to help the homeless by providing them with food, clothing and toiletries. This experience allowed her to help the homeless and directly interact with them.

“That’s where I first started meeting the guys,” she said. “I felt a lot of compassion for the ones who were most desperate on the street.”

She also credits the book Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt with motivating her to start such a great cause. The book is about American Christianity and challenges readers to live by Jesus’ expectations for Christians.

“My faith is a very strong component of what we’re doing with C-U at Home,” Jackson said. “We’re reaching out, sacrificially helping people as what Christ would teach.”

The main efforts of C-U at Home are concentrated in physically housing the homeless. This task is not as simple as providing a bed and a roof­; C-U at Home provides homeless people with a home where they can begin to live independently with their own bed, shower, stove, a door that locks and other simple comforts of home that many take for granted.

Often, the houses that C-U at Home receive permission to use are in a state of disrepair. Volunteers work tirelessly getting the homes ready for occupants, whether they’re doing repairs on the house or fixing a lawn mower. In the past 13 months alone, C-U at Home has provided housing for eight people, including one just a couple of weeks ago.

The many accomplishments C-U at Home has achieved in such a short time shows just how dedicated the volunteers and event participants have been. This organization has impacted many lives, including Jackson’s. “[The homeless] have such strength and community between themselves,” she said. “They have so much to offer if we would only give them the chance.”
