EDITOR’S NOTE BRAD THORP
Each year of my college career, I have looked forward to this speciďŹ c moment in the semester. As the weather starts to change, I know it is getting closer and closer, and I start to get really excited. I, of course, am talking about Pygmalion Music Festival. The stresses of school and the wake of summer music festivals always leave me holding out for my next great musical experience, and that is a guarantee when it comes to Pygmalion. When I think about the different concerts I’ve been to, some of my most memorable have been related to this festival, which isn’t difďŹ cult to imagine when you think about the way the festival is set up. Each show is scheduled with the venue in mind, and with a variety of venues with different sound qualities and acoustics, the bands are scheduled into venues that suit their musical style well. There are smaller stages for intimate shows, larger venues for the bigger and louder live performances, and everything in between. Because of this, I have been able to see some of my favorite musicians play in arenas best suited for the music they create. This may be a subtle addition to a musician’s performance, but one that can take the show to the next level if done right. Last year saw Sam Beam of Iron and Wine play on one of the most acoustically perfect stages in the nation, leaving the audience speechless almost throughout the entire show. The music quality was very pure. The combination of his intricate guitar playing and soft vocals was received in a way that was very clean, and made the recorded music seem second best. The combination of these factors made this performance stand out against the others I had seen before. Foellinger Great Hall at the Krannert Center for Performing Arts was the perfect venue for this artist, and provided me with a very memorable experience. If they followed this same style of scheduling, which I am sure they have, this year’s festival will prove to be just as memorable. There are amazing lineups at each of the venues, and there is something I am looking forward to each day of the fest. The countdown is almost to an end! So come shirk some responsibilities and join me each day for some great performances. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Savoy Orchard Days Festival
WITH:
by Nick Martin It’s fall festival time, my friends. Festivals are as much a part of autumn as leaf-falling, coatwearing and messy break-ups. If you’re looking for a solid CU fall fest, may I recommend the Savoy Orchard Days Festival? Friday, Sept. 17, will include beer, food and bingo — some argue these are three of the best things man has ever created. Most agree. There will also be carnival rides and a flea market, and topping off the night is The Tons O’ Fun Band! The band’s website explains, “[The band is] an established, high-energy, classic rhythm and blues band that features a full-blown horn section and four different lead vocalists.” Better yet, the band’s name promises a ton of fun! Saturday will feature even more activities, all of which involve family fun. The morning boasts a Fire Truck Show and Tell; here, you can look at how fire trucks work and use that info the next time you commit arson. Do you have kids? While you’re drinking, drop them off at the face painting tent or the kids craft booth. Two bands, The Crazy Johnny Band with Dawna Nelson and Captain Rat and The Blind Rivets, will be playing throughout the day. Feel free to dance. Sunday is the festival’s final day. Wake up early for an antique car and truck show if you like looking at cars without air conditioners or CD players. Then, “Get Deputized with the Sheriff’s Department” — it’s always good to get on friendly terms with the police now because you’ll probably want to commit some crimes in the future. The festival will conclude with the merry, inebriated melodies of The Boat Drunks. The Boat Drunks are a Jimmy Buffet cover band; bring your margaritas and Hawaiian shirts. If you’ve never experienced a rural Midwest fall fest, you’ve never gotten drunk and danced with a 40-year-old lady while a bunch of sweaty white guys play “Cheeseburger in Paradise” — and if you’ve never done that, you’ve never lived my friend. Go out this weekend, and live.

Duck Hunter Shoots Angel Parkland gears up season with outrageous comedy by Illana Strauss
I
t looks like Bugs Bunny is finally going to get a break. The main characters in this Champaign play won’t be hunting rabbits. They’re after ducks. This year, Parkland College Theater will begin its season with the comedy Duck Hunter Shoots Angel on Sept. 22. The show was written by Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Duck Hunter Shoots Angel, his first play not based on a book, is also his first comedy. The plot centers on a pair of unlucky, bumbling, duck-hunting brothers who claim to have winged an angel over the Alabama swamplands
and the journalist who comes to investigate the tale. “In a world where potato chips shaped like deities are newsworthy treasures and Elvis is repeatedly sighted, a burnt out tabloid journalist is sent on a mission to investigate this ‘unusual’ shooting,” states the Parkland Theatre. Through his assignment, the journalist encounters the hunters and the colorful folk of rural Alabama in a comedy that “careens through a mix of culture clashes, sibling rivalry, lost lovers, misadventures and the wacky investigation that tries to make sense of it all.” Brad Mehrtens, a resident of Champaign,
pushing the medium
Duck Hunter Shoots Angel will be performed on Sept. 22, 24, 25 and 30, and Oct. 1 and 3. While you are sure to have a good time at any of these performances, make sure to look out for special nights during the schedule. This includes a “Camo Night” on Sept. 24, where those who arrive wearing hunter orange or the traditional camouflage will only be charged half-price. The Sept. 24 performance will also include a Q & A with director and cast after the show. Get ready to laugh and don’t forget the camouflage at Parkland’s production of Duck Hunter Shoots Angel.

Curry, Thom Miller, William Rose III, Michael Steen, Chris Taber, Kirby Toalson and Rob Zaleski make up the rest of the cast. Fortunately, however, the importance of productions involving students is not limited to those participating. “I think it’s a necessary component of our education,” said Danny Wicentowski, a resident of Champaign and a student at Parkland. “The arts should be part of every student’s repertoire.” Along with the rest of of the cast, who was attracted to the show’s humor and creativity, director Thomas Scharre said what drew him to the play was “a fascination with tabloid media and a comic take on that world.” “This is a play with belly laughs and sweet reflections on our past mistakes and future redemptions,” said Scharre. “I think all will walk out smiling and content.” As for Champaign and Urbana residents, they should expect a setting completely different from central Illinois. In fact, Scharre states audiences should expect “a wild ride from the big city to the swamp!”

Art in Advertising
Krannert showcases ad posters of the 19th century

onet, Picasso, Van Gogh. Art museums may give the feel that they generally limit displays to paintings by these artists or other traditional forms of art. However, the “Turn of the Century Posters” exhibit at the Krannert Art Museum not only shows the rise of color lithography, but also illustrates a collection of about 20 pieces of eye-opening art. Although the exhibit just recently started, “the responses [the museum has] received have been very positive” according to Museum Curator Kathryn Polite. In the late 19th century, artists began catering to the increase in the demand for advertisements — granted that they got an alternative space to exhibit their works. These advertisements, like the ones displayed at Krannert, varied from consumer product promotions and magazine ads to promotional posters for the famous Moulin Rouge. Importantly, this new outlet and process of mass production allowed the artists to reach a larger audience. “Three thousand copies of Toulouse-Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge poster were distributed throughout Paris in one night,” said Polite. Most of the ads and posters on display are lithographs, art that uses a method of printing with a stone or metal plate on a smooth surface. One such piece is one of many by Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec. “Couveture de l’estampe originale” was created for the cover of The Original Print, a series of nine portfolios containing 95 prints composed by 74 artists. André Marty published these works hoping to “bring together recognized masters with bold creators, neglected and blasphemed.” “Couveture de l’estampe originale” focuses on Jane Avril, a popular café concert performer. In the lithograph, Avril appears studying a print of Edouard Ancourt. Jane Avril also appears in another work by Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec, “Divan Japonais” of 1893, created by the use of crayon, brush splatter and transferred screen lithograph. The poster has a resemblance to Japanese prints in that it carries a familiar dynamic perspective. In this depiction, another man appears, Edouard Dujardin, an art critic and theoretician. The two are watching the stage performer, Yvette Guilbert. Toulouse-Lautrec often alternates between individuals in each of his posters, though this piece focuses on Jane Avril as she dominates the scene. At the same time, Yvette is not only in the background, but
also shown without her head and facial features in the image. Another artist on display, the French Pierre Bonnard, created “L’Estamp et’ l’afffiche,” or, “The Print and Poster”. The lithograph, with its green backdrop, stands out because it emphasizes the freedom of color on lithographs. In the image, a young collector is shown carrying a huge portfolio, while an elderly woman remains uninterested in the younger generation’s works on paper. She watches the young woman rush past as the prints scatter out onto the floor. “It looks like it could even be used for the cover to one of today’s magazine,” said UIUC sophomore Lucy Wen, an art education major. “It’s really attention-grabbing because of the placement of the green, and “Turn of the Century Posters: Toulouse-Lautrec and Others” showcases artists who worked with advertisements and promotional posters during the 19th century.

RESIDENT EVIL: Afterlife
by Adam Dreyfuss

3Favorites Franchises that went on too long by Katharine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian

esident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth film in the shoot â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em up Resident Evil Franchise, tries extremely hard to deliver a serious addition to the already mediocre series. This time in 3-D, Afterlife executes over an hour and a half of gun wielding action, most of which happens in slow motion. The plot picks up where the last film left off, with Claire and the rest of the survivors being loaded onto a helicopter heading off to the town of Arcadia, Ala., where they have heard rumors of an infection free population. First, Afterlife takes us to the Japanese headquarters of The Umbrella Corporation, the evil organization that released the virus which turned the entire world into zombies. Once there, something seems off, not just because all the guards are mysteriously dying, but because the entire Japanese base is run by a caucasian male who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know acting if it hit him over the head. After a ridiculously fast paced and implausible fight scene ensues, the plot actually starts up with Alice arriving at Arcadia via plane, where the only other person
she can find is Claire. Claire has been drugged by a mysterious spider-shaped device and has no recollection of the past. Together, the two of them head to Los Angeles where they join up with survivors they find at an abandoned prison. The goal now becomes to get all the survivors out of the prison before the zombies outside break in, a la Dawn of the Dead. The film reverts back to tropes seen many times before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dark, spooky corridors which need to be traversed, a ridiculous number of automatic weapons, and did I mention the abundant use of slow motion? While the film isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t terrible, it does fail to bring anything new to the table other than 3-D. On the other hand, the 3-D is used superbly, accenting the action throughout. Fans of the franchise will be happy to know it is a step up from the atrocious Resident Evil: Extinction, but Afterlife time and time again takes itself too seriously for its own good and fails in the process.

Crank (2006)
by Matt Carey Ignorance truly is bliss. Crank might be one of the most idiotic, nonsensical, illogical movies I have ever seen, but that is what makes it terrific. The writers/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have absolutely no trepidations about the type of film they are making â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is simply a balls to the wall action flick with no time to waste for a competent story. Jason Statham stars as Chev Chelios, a hitman living in Los Angeles. One night, street toughs break into his apartment and inject him with a drug that slows the flow of adrenaline and eventually stops the heart completely. In order to stay alive long enough to find the thugs that did this to him, Chev has to keep his adrenaline up by
taking epinephren, running everywhere and even at one point using a defibrillator. Along the way, Chev takes a hospital hostage, has a fistfight in a helicopter and has wild, unprotected sex in the middle of a public street. Personally, I have grown wary of the modern day trend of action movies being knowingly campy (Machete), but Crank somehow manages to pull it off without seeming too self-aware. Statham is hysterically blunt, the mobsters are all unnecessarily nefarious and Amy Smart is the constant damsel in distress. It sounds like the movie would be a total 50/. disaster, but you would#be/surprised how enjoyable it is. Running only 80 minutes, Crank is a painless $2).+ WITH PURCHASE OF OZ BAG OF BUTTERY POPCORN watch that will make you smile a lot. /:

Okay, so technically, there were always supposed to be six movies. A New Hope was listed as Episode IV way back in 1977. Still, anybody who sat through the most recent episodes of the franchise knows that something went wrong. Maybe it was the casting of Hayden Christensen. Maybe it was the fact that George Lucas canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write dialogue to save his life. Whatever it was, the three movies released in the 2000s should not have been made. The story had so much potential, and in the age of advanced technology, they should have been really fantastic. But they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Ewan McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent channeling of Alec Guinnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; original Obi-Wan was probably the best part. Sadly, he was overshadowed by muddled plotlines and a sappy, chemistry-free romance. The Terminator:
The Terminator was a spectacularly entertaining piece of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s sci-fi ridiculousness. Terminator 2: Judgment Day was even better. Both movies spawned classic lines like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hasta la vista, baby,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be backâ&#x20AC;?. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines arrived so many years after its predecessor, though, that expectations shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been terribly high. Arnold Schwarzenegger really was too old to still be playing the action star. Still, the ridiculous plotline that refuted everything built by the first two movies was annoying. Oh, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terminator Salvation. Christian Bale as John Connor? That should have been amazing. Instead, it was completely unmemorable. Pirates of the Caribbean:
Curse of the Black Pearl was so great because Captain Jack Sparrow was original and flamboyant. The second time around, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as funny. Everybody was clearly just returning for the paycheck. The one highlight was the debauched Commodore Norringtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest for revenge. His hilariousness was unexpected and therefore all the more appreciated in an otherwise bland sequel. At Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End had even less reason to be made than Dead Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chest, which lost all of the lightheartedness of the first film. Even the second film was still funny at times. And the plotlines were outrageous. The voodoo chick turns into a giant crab monster, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposedly the one Davy Jones was in love with? The writers must have been desperate. It certainly comes off that way on the screen.

Prairie Fruits Farm supplies many businesses around CU with all local food. buzz file photo
A
s summer winds down and we ease into the beginning of autumn, farmer’s markets are still at their peaks. Summer fruits and veggies are ripe, and fall flavors are beginning to flourish. With all this fresh food available right here in ChampaignUrbana, take a break from your typical dorm food or frozen dinners, and indulge in nature’s bounty. Don’t worry: you won’t even have to go grocery shopping! That’s because two restaurants, Bacaro and The Great Impasta, along with Prairie Fruits Farm, offer dinners that feature entirely local ingredients. The purpose of these dinners is to draw attention to, and thank, local farmers. In addition, it gives residents a chance to explore and become aware of local produce and foods that are available at the farmer’s market.
The Great Impasta This is the first year The Great Impasta will be hosting a local dinner. Harold Allston, the owner, decided to hold a local dinner after realizing how much interaction the restaurant has with the farmer’s market. Through the market, he has gotten to know local farmers and people in the area. For Allston, the meal is a way to showcase the great food that Illinois has to offer at this time of year. He hopes the dinner serves “to remind people how rich the soil is and how hard working the farms are around us.” “With super markets, we are separated from food sources,” Allston said. “[The dinner] is a way to say, ‘No, it’s in your backyard.’” The Great Impasta will be featuring a pasta salad, composed by chef Antonio Gonzales. The pasta salad will showcase what is in season in Illinois, including goat cheese from Prairie Fruits Farm, red peppers and cilantro from Blue Moon Farms, and corn from Kleiss farms. Providing enough dishes and food for 350 people will be a challenge, Allston said, especially because The Great Impasta is a small restaurant. However, he is looking forward to the event. “I’m excited about the salad, honestly,” Allston said. “It’s new!”
Bacaro Bacaro, a food and wine lounge, focuses on using local produce and seasonal ingredients to keep its menu fresh. This is also its first year holding dinners featuring food from local farmers and producers.
buzz
Thad Morrow, chef and owner of Bacaro, said he likes to cook and design menus based on what is available at the farmer’s market each Saturday. Bacaro’s local dinners will be held every Monday night until the local produce season has ended. Morrow said the dinners are a way for residents to try new foods. “Maybe there’s stuff at the farmer’s market that they don’t see used a lot,” Morrow said. “[We’re] trying to get people turned on to go to the farmer’s market, try new stuff and cook it in a different way.” Morrow plans on making the meals into themed nights with dishes from “certain regions in Italy or Spain, and different types of ethnic cooking,” he said. There is only one set menu available for each dinner, and it is often not set until a night or two before Monday. “It’s kind of a surprise and I think [customers] like that,” Morrow said. This is because Morrow chooses ingredients at the farmer’s market every Saturday before the dinner. Diners looking to eat at Bacaro’s local dinners can look forward to future meals that will incorporate more fall flavors and produce. “I’m excited about fall,” Morrow said. “We can get into squashes, pumpkin, beef, root vegetables, and do more hearty stuff.”
Prairie Fruits Farm Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery, located in Champaign, hosts what it calls “Dinners on the Farm.” There are 14 meals held every two weeks, starting in May and going through the fall. Each dinner has a different theme and features various local produce, meat and dairy products. Dinners vary widely, and are sure to please any palate. Previous themes include “Tres Leches,” a meal that focused on the versatility of cow, goat and sheep milk, and “Summer Evening with Beer and Cheese,” which featured local brews and cheese. The next dinner, which will be held on Sept. 18, will be “Ode to the Tomato,” by Chef Paul Virant. In addition to eating these creative and often innovative dinners, guests at Prairie Fruits Farm will be able to stroll the farm and gardens, enjoying the outdoor setting between courses. But be sure to make reservations early — these dinners are very popular, and sell out quickly.

by Sabrina Santucci Rows of wine from around the world line Corkscrew Wine Emporium, but its newest addition, a wine bar named Buvons, is worth noting. The wine bar recently attached to Corkscrew offers an array of wines by the glass and features a wine tasting every Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. for 5 dollars. In honor of celebrating their grand opening celebration next Saturday, Buvons manager Domenico Musumeci sat down and spoke with buzz about his love for wine and why Buvons is worth checking out. » buzz: What can you tell me about the wines that are offered at the tastings? Domenico Musumeci: They are our most popular wines by the glass, and they are not available on the retail side of the store. We showcase six to eight various red wines, and the same for white wines. Buvons also has a bottle list exclusive to this side. » buzz: Where did the idea for Buvon come from? DM: The retail side has been open for 11 years. A lot of our staff and clientele liked the idea of
a wine bar, and the space next to us had been empty for a while. We decided to take the opportunity, went through some ideas and then started on this new endeavor. » buzz: Why the name Buvons? DM: The name is French and means, “Let’s drink.” We wanted a place where people could come and have a good time and a good glass of wine. » buzz: What does Buvons offer that I can’t find anywhere else? DM: Most of the wines we offer you can’t find anywhere else in town. Buvons will also host private events such as fundraisers, wine dinners, and will host importers and distributers. There is a lot of flexibility in hosting events. » buzz: If I’m going to buy a wine, which one should I go with? DM: I would definitely recommend a zinfindal. The brands Chase and Predator make a really great zinfindal wine.
EN-SPICE-CLOPEDIA
Bay leaf
by Annie Sun Bay leaf comes from the leaves of Bay Laurel, an evergreen tree or shrub native to the Mediterranean region. During the evening before St. Valentine’s Day in 1700s, rural Englishwomen would pin four bay leaves to the corners of their pillow, and one in the middle in hope to see their future husbands in dreams. Bay leaves can also be used to repel roaches and flies in a pantry. Since 776 B.C., laurel garlands were awarded to winners at Olympic games in ancient Greece. Laurel wreaths were also used to adorn winners at the Grand Prix until April 12, 1981. Both fresh and dry bay leaves are used in cooking for its distinctive aroma. However, its flavor does not fully develop until after several weeks of drying. Dry bay leaf, some would say, is one of the basic spices a cook should have in his or her cabinet for its countless uses in an abundance of recipes. When dried, bay leaves give an herbal and slightly floral aroma. Compared with dried bay leaves, the flavor of fresh bay leaf is milder. There are two major varieties of bay
leaf: Turkish (1-2 inches, oval) and California (2-3 inches, narrow). The Turkish is said to have the richer flavor. Bay leaves need to be stored in a cool, dark place and can be used crushed or whole. Crushed bay leaves, because of the increase surface area, provide a stronger fragrance and flavor in dishes. Removal before serving is highly encouraged due to its undesirable texture. Bay leaves are commonly used in soups, stews and other dishes containing beans, lentils, tomatoes, potatoes, risotto or shellfish. Give bay leaves a try for your next aromatic meal! buzz

Pygmalion, Funkified of Montreal Storms the Canopy stage by Eli Chen
SEPTEMBER 18TH, 7AM-2AM SEPTEMBER 19TH, 11AM-7PM LINCOLN SQUARE MALL IN DOWNTOWN URBANA Over 30 assorted rums, tequilas and South American wines Plus over 20 South American beers Live latin bands, DJ's and dance lessons Food from Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia and more Children's games and educational activities Arts and crafts booths
It’s hard not to recognize of Montreal: circus-esque makeup, frilly costumes and transsexual getups, album covers splattered with vibrant designs and frolicking nudes, dance beats uplifted by colorful instrumental riffs, and vocals that cycle from low, suave tones to screeching falsetto. The ensemble has just released their tenth, energy-packed album, False Priest. They are currently on tour with Janelle Monáe, who will be opening for them this coming Wednesday, Sept. 22, at the Canopy Club. of Montreal is no stranger to CU. Their label, Polyvinyl Records, is based in Champaign. “We played at [Pygmalion] for a couple years,” said of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes. “We’ve always been supported by the college scene; when we first started touring, getting to play on the college radio has been really important towards establishing our fanbase.” The band, no doubt, has a reputation of being particularly eccentric in regards to their recordings and live performances. In a recent televised performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a skit ran in the background while Barnes and Solange Knowles sang together. “[Theatrics] adds another element to the experience for the audience,” said Barnes. “We have way more crew than complex production. It’s really great to have a lot people involved who also happen to be your best friends, and it’s fun to see your best friend wearing a pig mask.” They’ve come a long way since their first Polyvinyl record, Satanic Panic in the Attic. of Montreal has evolved to incorporate more soulful and funkier elements, which Barnes capitalized on, expressing a desire to work with artists like Erykah Badu and SA-RA Creative Partners. “Skeletal Lamping was a bit more fragmented, like collage art,” said Barnes. “I didn’t want to make another Skeletal Lamping. I wanted this record to have its own identity. The thing that was really inspiring me was soul music, R & B and funk music of the ‘70s. I wanted to do my own take on that genre and time period, but still listenable for a modern audience.” “The challenge is making something that’s not predictable,” Barnes continued. “I try to take a bunch of influences and mix them together in a way that no one else has. But I don’t feel like I’m making some-
thing that’s extremely original, since I’m drawing upon things that have already existed. I think the great thing about art is that we’re taking things from each other and making it a communal thing. And I don’t think too much of the outside world when I’m creating. Getting self-conscious about it kind of ruins the art. I really just try to draw raw emotions into my music and not think so much that it’s going to be listened or judged by anyone.” In terms of where of Montreal’s direction is going, Barnes aims to continue developing their funk style and add in more orchestral styles as well. “This guy named K. Ishibashi just joined the band and he plays strings on a couple of songs on False Priest,” said Barnes. “We’re trying to make a song called ‘Transhuman Singularity,’ and we get into these really intense symphonic moments.” Now, Barnes looks forward to bringing the heat to Pygmalion. “That tour we’re doing with Janelle Monáe is going to be epic,” said Barnes. “It’s going to be cooler because Janelle and the band are going to combine efforts on the theatrical end. It’s going to be nothing like we’ve accomplished before.”

of Montreal
Album:
False Priest
Since 1997, of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes’ music has changed vastly. Starting out as an indie-pop group that basically modernized Beatles songs, of Montreal’s sound has shifted this way and that with each album. On their newest release, False Priest, Barnes employed producing legend Jon Brion to help him mix and produce the album. The result is a production value that of Montreal has never known before. Songs such as “Like a Tourist” and “Enemy Gene” — the latter featuring Janelle Monáe — have a production quality that is almost shocking. To hear Barnes’ vocals coming out so crisp and clear over highly engineered backings is something that has never been done before, and while I can’t say that it is my favorite album by the band, it certainly has it’s place on my rotation. — Dylan Sutcliff

COYOTE COCKBLOCK!!!
One on One
with Surfer Blood Indie-rock Group
by Mark Grabowski At this point I’m pretty world-weary when it comes to rock groups; I’ve seen thousands of them, heard more, and it takes something that is prepared to surgically remove my socks from my lower autopods to get more than a cursory listen. Surfer Blood, a pop-rock five piece who just signed to Warner Brothers, did just that with the first few notes of their debut album, Astro Coast. Released in January on the indie label Kanine Records, the album quickly garnered auditory canals based on underground praise, as well as above-ground rantings from those curmudgeons of hip sounds, Pitchfork.com. The group played a spot-on set at the Pitchfork Music Festival earlier this summer and will be headlining Canopy’s Thursday showcase at this year’s Pygmalion Music Festival. I strongly suggest, as your personal “don’t-be-left-out-or-you’ll-feellike-a-loser” angel, that you check out their show. buzz caught up with Surfer Blood drummer Tyler Schwarz for a little one on one. » buzz: What do you think about the surf-rock trend making a comeback with acts like yourself, Best Coast and others? Tyler Schwarz: We kind of set ourselves up. We have the name, we come from a beachy city, some of our first promo shots were by the beach. There is some song that even talks about surfing. But

honestly, I don’t think we are really a surf-rock band. I’m going to say a pop-rock band. » buzz: When did you realize that your album was going to make that leap up to the national stage? TS: Really after CMJ, after that week. People want to work with us, we have all of this lined up, let’s do this. The whole time, we were pushing to make this happen; the entire time, we just wanted to tour relentlessly, to be a full-time band. » buzz: There are a lot of different approaches to songwriting. What would you say the band’s is?
TS: Usually what will happen is JP [guitarist John Paul Pitts] will come up with a riff. Sometimes I’ll try to yell something at him, we’ll see how that goes. Half the time he’ll have a drumbeat in mind, the other half I come up with my own drumbeat. I help him arrange the songs a little bit, but he has mostly the rough idea figured out. Thomas [Fekete], the other guitar player, has been bringing some ideas, too. Check out full interview with Surfer Blood’s Tyler Schwarz on the217.com.
Pygmalion welcomes Canadian act Holy Fuck to the Canopy Club by Adam Thies oronto’s Holy Fuck have been producing high-grade garage electronica since their formation in 2004, yet it wasn’t until late 2007 that they started to receive mass recognition for their actions. Critics started to catch on, and the band started to receive mad props from the likes of Thom Yorke and Lou Reed. Since 2007, they have performed highly praised sets at Glastonbury, Coachella, SXSW and the Montreal Jazz Festival. Their brand of intensely warped and tangled rhythmic sound seems to cater directly to the festival atmosphere, with many live reviews praising the band on their ability to connect with entire crowds during their concerts. “Everyone appeared captivated, but no one was getting close enough to feel its charring pulse move and shake the soles of their feet,” states Kevin Hainey of Eye Magazine Online on Holy Fuck’s live performance. Holy Fuck expresses a quality of euphoria in their music, which breaks at the most opportunistic point during the song. It comes at a time where there is a shift from a complicated entanglement of blips, backbeats and Nintendo sounds into a calming and tranquil groove. It is this quality that mesmerizes their audiences. This ability to enthrall is a skill that they have perfected during a relentless touring schedule
during 2008 and 2009. In addition to honing their abilities as a band, their consistent touring gave way to a creative burst, which they captured on their most recent album, Latin. Latin, released last May, could be considered a milestone for the group. Critically, it is the best of their career, as well as their most popular, having reached fourteen on the Billboard Dance charts. The thing that sets Holy Fuck apart from their electronica competition is that if you see them live you’ll notice that there isn’t a computer to be seen on stage. While other acts rely on computers and equipment such as loop pedals for special effects, Holy Fuck strives for a more natural form of electronica. “The band was formed with the intent of creating the equivalent of modern electronic music without actually using the techniques — loop-

DOIN’ IT WELL
Q & A:
BY JO SANGER AND ROSS WANTLAND
Sex Questions Answered
We’ve all heard that there’s no such thing as a stupid question. This is definitely true when it comes to sex. In a culture that provides very little accurate, honest sex education, it is not surprising that many of us need answers. Jo looked back at questions she has received from adults over the past year. We decided to answer them here, knowing that for every question asked, there are many others who also want the answer. » Can I use more than one condom to prevent STDs? Don’t double bag! Using more than one condom at a time can cause friction which may result in the condoms breaking. This is true for two male condoms or a male condom and female condom. One condom for each act of sex, used correctly, provides the best protection against STDs. » How big does a penis get when erect? Penis sizes vary, but the average length of an erect penis is between 5-7 inches. The length of vaginas varies too, ranging from 2.5-4 inches long. However, just as the penis elongates during arousal, so does the vagina! When not aroused, a woman may be able to reach a finger inside the
vagina and feel the cervix. This is more difficult after she is sexually excited. » How long does it take for sperm to die once it hits air? Sperm need a moist, warm environment to live. If contained in seminal fluid, sperm might live several hours (remember, there’s a whole lotta sperm in each ejaculate). Inside the body, they can survive three or more days. Our rule of thumb: if the fluid is dry, the sperm are immobile or dead. They aren’t sea monkeys; they can’t be revived by adding water to the dried fluid. » How do I know if I’ve contracted an STD? Often, you won’t know for sure, so get yourself tested. If you have itching, a sore or abnormal discharge, it might be a symptom of an STD, or it might be a symptom of something else such as a yeast infection or ingrown hair. Testing is the only way a person will know for sure. Plus, once you get tested, you can get treated right away, too! » When should you get a gynecological exam? A gynecological exam is essential reproduc-
tive healthcare for women. It can include a pap test, but doesn’t always. A woman should have a “gyn exam” before sexual activity or by age 21. If she experiences pain, symptoms in the genital area or problems with her menstrual cycle, she should seek an exam earlier. The GYN exam aims to assess and keep healthy both the external genitalia and the internal reproductive organs of the female. A pap test specifically exams the cells of the cervix to determine if there are any cellular changes or irregularities. A woman should have her first pap test at age 21. » What percentage of U of I students have an STD? We get this question, or some variation of it, a lot. How many people on campus have an STD? We have no idea, since not everyone gets tested. But, we do know that 1 in 4 Americans has an STD, and that the majority of sexually transmitted infections occur among 15-24-year-olds. In addition, most sexually active people in the US will become infected with HPV at some point in their lives. More importantly, we think this question is asked as a way to try and assess personal risk, a la, “Are there really STDs on this campus? Do I really have to worry in Champaign, Illinois?” The

answer is, “Yes!” STDs occur here just like they do in Chicago or anywhere else. » When should you get an HPV shot? Ideally, girls should be vaccinated against HPV before they become exposed and possibly infected with the virus. This means they should get the shot before they have sex. The vaccine is approved for girls and women ages 9-26. But, even if you have already had sex, the vaccination may still be for you! It protects against the four highest risk strains of HPV — those responsible for the majority of cervical cancers and genital warts. News: Men under age 27 can now receive the HPV vaccine, too! Remember, men, you have a responsibility to stop the spread of HPV, to protect yourself and your partners, too! Remember, good questions + good answers = good sex. So send yours in to buzzdoinitwell@ yahoo.com Check us out next week as we explore gay-dar! Jo and Ross are professionals in the fields of sex education, violence prevention and social justice. They’ll be writing this column all year, so be sure to read it each Thursday.

Come back, Tiger Trapper, come back!
AND ANOTHER THING ...
by MICHAEL COULTER
bicycle bliss The pros of two-wheeled transportation I grew up in the country — you know, where men are men and sheep are nervous, as that saying goes. We lived 10 miles or so out of town, so when I was growing up I was, for the most part, completely reliant on my amazing mother driving my dumb ass back and forth to town. One day, she wasn’t going that way and I really needed to get to town. The deal was that Elvis Costello’s second record came out earlier in the week, and I really wanted to listen to it all day on Saturday. It was too far to walk to the record store unless I was raising money for some sort of charity, so I decided to ride my bicycle. The bicycle is far from the most convenient or comfortable mode of transportation, but it is sort of great in a way.
wasn’t. During this time it seemed like I bought several bicycles, but seldom rode any of them. I’d leave them tied up outside of a bar for weeks at a time, and then they would eventually end up stolen or forgotten. Even when I did manage to hold on to them, a flat tire or a rusty chain was more than enough to make me go back to four-wheeled transportation. A few years ago, I bought I pretty good bike, or at least good enough that I wouldn’t lose track of it because of it’s cost. The problem was that I lived close enough to downtown that I really could walk just as quickly to my destination. Sure, the bike may have saved me a few minutes on the way there, but having my drunken ass consistently flying off of it on the way home didn’t especially inspire me. I moved a few times during that time, and I would wager I carried the damned thing as much as I actually rode it. This summer, I decided it I ride almost exclusively on side streets was time to get back on the to stay away from traffic anyway and the horse — or bike — and start bicycle helmet is sort of like an umbrella riding it again. I got a professional tuneup for it and a new to me. It makes me feel like a little less of chain, as it was pretty tip-top that. It’s amazing how a man. I know it’s ridiculous but tell that besides lack of use will keep something to the creepy guy inside of me. looking really nice.

I can never After I could eventually see through the sweat seem to run fast enough to get that effect. So, I have been riding quite a bit. It’s usually in my eyes, I bought my record and headed back home. I remember it seeming pretty hard riding simply for transportation, but sometimes it’s back into the wind, which I failed to check when even for fun. I’m not super hardcore about it I left the house earlier. It was my own dipshit, in any way. I don’t have tight little shorts or little kid hipster Bataan Death March. Actually, special shoes, so I just look like a fella on a bike I think the entire ordeal took about an hour and instead of a true bicyclist. I also don’t wear a a half, but for some reason it seemed like a big helmet — I figure that if some sort of accident deal to me at the time. were to happen I’m fine with a closed casket.
