MUSIC: We’ve got reviews of new releases by The Island of Misfit Toys and Jay-Z, plus a preview of Sultans of Swing at The Iron Post.

Last week, I was checking Twitter when a peculiar trend caught my eye. Everyone was tweeting frantically about something called a “Sharknado.� Confused, I Googled the term, and it turns out a sharknado is exactly what it sounds like: a tornado made of sharks. Imagine that! A natural disaster capable of tearing apart an entire city with the sheer force of its winds plus the added fear of being eaten in a fly-by attack from a gigantic razortoothed killing machine at any moment. Scared yet? Well, it’s actually fictional. It’s a made-for-TV movie that premiered on the SyFy channel on July 11, about humans battling Mother Nature and her diabolical creation with chainsaws.

If you think that’s ridiculous, it gets better. Apparently there’s a scene in which a character slices a shark that was hurled at him by the tornado — exuse me, sharknado — in half vertically, simply by holding his chainsaw in the air. And Tara Reid is in it! She plays a mom with an adult kid! Talk about suspension of disbelief!

After finding all this out, I have to admit, I haven’t watched the film. It’s too ridiculous, and I’ve already seen all the most over-the-top moments via gifs on the Internet. It does, however, raise so many imporant questions.

Is a sharknado possible? How do you survive a sharknado? Couldn’t the whole shark crisis be avoided by staying inside, like you’re supposed to during a tornado or hurricane? How do the sharks survive being thrown through the air at such speeds and distances? Wouldn’t all the other stuff flying around in the tornado kill the sharks? Where did that dude get such a sharp chainsaw? Wouldn’t the force of the shark hitting the chainsaw force it back into him and kill him? Can logic be applied to this film, or the concept of a sharknado in general?

Can flying sharks only exist in a universe unlike our own in which physics and logic no longer operate?

After pondering these questions, I asked myself, is there a scarier hypothetical natural disaster than a sharknado? The answer is yes. It’s a krakcane.

That’s right, people, a hurricane of krakens.

I know what you’re gonna say: “But, Evan, krakens don’t exist!� That’s where you’re wrong, my friend. Giant squids and collossal squids are known to exist, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that we’ve only mapped 5 percent of the ocean. Marine biologists discover new, otherworldly species in the depths of the ocean all the time.

I’d bet that somewhere in that other 95 percent, giant sea monsters lie dormant, waiting for a massive hurricane to sweep them ashore and begin their reign of terror.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOON LANDING

BY JENNIFER HAARE Saturday, July 20, marks the 44th anniversary of humans taking over the moon. At 2:56 Coordinated Universal Time, July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped left foot first onto the surface of the moon. Footage of this alleged landing was beamed back home while Earth people, from New York to California where it was conveniently primetime TV, watched in awe and tears. One might say this was merely a small step for man, but a giant leap for mankind. The important thing is we covered that rock in U.S. flags, all but one of which are bleached white by now. Besides that, did you know that in 1993 the U.S. banned obtrusive advertising on the moon? AKA no space billboards? Which seems like a missed opportunity because how are aliens supposed to know what on earth to buy when they visit? Also, I think it’s kind of surprising that there’s no hotel with a moon pool and space cocktails yet.

Wasn’t the moon supposed to be like the new Hawaii? This Saturday, let’s take some time to think about what it means to have landed on the moon and not built a space resort. If we don’t, who will?

And what would such a moon park be like? I personally think Disney should design it. And while we’re at it, I think we might as well build a castle for Beyonce. Woo, humanity!

There’s the resident spider in my shower, whose cousin has startled me at least twice as I exited the tub and grabbed my towel which it conspired on. Its fluids were seconds from being spread all over my clean skin. Sickening. That spider (which, by the way, you should always expect to be a brown recluse [Google "brown recluse spider bites"]) rounded the corner of my toilet seconds before I rested on my throne. And that godforsaken earwig that slept on my toothbrush last month, spread out so that its body graciously blessed the entire length and width of the flat surface of the brush itself. I’m not expecting these small creatures anywhere at any time, I’m expecting them in the worst places, all the time.

» Not being sick: That old adage, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone,” applies to many things, but it takes particular significance right now for my health. Over the weekend, I came down with the stomach flu.

I’ve temporarily quit eating (one of my favorite activities) in an attempt to curtail my body’s creative new means of waste disposal. But the good news is that, once I’m feeling better again, I will have a better appreciation for the normal.

But dear Jesus, I hope that feeling returns soon.

It

may seem improbable, but HBO’s True Blood has returned for its sixth season without show runner Alan Ball, and it is not terrible. It’s not the best vampire-related thing to grace a screen since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but neither is it unwatchable like Twilight.

Alan Ball worked both with HBO and the topic of death on his award-winning show Six Feet Under. The show followed a family who ran a funeral home, and who had a tendency to carry out imagined conversations with dead people. In True Blood, main characters still have conversations with dead people, but often it’s because these dead people are vampires or spirits. For those who don’t have an HBO subscription and a guilty pleasure gene, True Blood is a supernatural show based off of the Southern vampire book series written by Charlain Harris. The show, like the novels, follows protagonist Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a waitress in Bon Temps, La., who can hear people’s thoughts.

At the beginning of the series, Sookie doesn’t know where this ability stems from, and she tries to hide it.

The people closest to her, however, are both aware of it and perturbed by it. It’s a hardship — being around people, that is — until she meets and saves the life of vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer).

Vampires, in the True Blood world, have just “come out of the coffin,” officially revealing their existence to the world after a synthetic blood drink has been created. From there, their world spins into a rollercoaster of twisting plots and softcore porn scenes.

The supernatural world expands as the seasons go on, and fans love to go with it. Now there is

an evil creature from Greek mythology making people cut their fingers off? Sure! Witches? Why not? Werewolves? I could have guessed. Fairies? Yep. Werepanthers? Wait, what?! No matter how implausible the creatures or plots, the show is written with such likeable characters, you’re willing to follow it anywhere. Even most of the villains are captivating, as exemplified by the singularly excellent performance by Denis O’Hare as psychotic vampire king Russell Edgington. The characters on the show have generally fallen into those two camps of likeable or interesting.

This is one of the hurdles the new season faces. Likeable Bill has become a creepy, vampire faux-God, whose unpredictability makes him only slightly frightening and mostly annoying.

Werewolf Alcide (Joe Manganiello) is hyped up on drugs and has anger problems to the point of being almost unrecognizable. Sookie, while not yet unlikeable, is acting like an idiot, stepping outdoors at night when she knows a dangerous vampire threat awaits her and insists on putting herself in dangerous situations with her reckless decisions.

My other bone to pick with the current and past season is that it veered away from one of the interesting dynamics of the show. For the early seasons, True Blood was an analogy for the fight for equality and tolerance similar to the gay rights movement. Of course it was mixed in there amid the mind reading and the vampire sex, but one of the more interesting aspects were the moments where we’d see political discourse on news stations and the bigotry aimed

at vampires and the real life implications.

This thread has been lost for most of last season and seems to be making a slight comeback in the current season. The past season focused on an extremist religious vampire government who committed terroristic acts. It was slow-building season, and those issues seemed to swing out of left field for stalwart fans, with meandering and seemingly pointless asides to the tertiary characters. Fans must usually accept the gigantic cast that comes with the show, gaining new characters we’re supposed to care about each season.

For this season, it’s fairy great-grandfather Niall (Rutger Hauer) and token hot guy, and therefore likely bad guy, Ben (Robert Kazinsky) — but last season it got a bit cumbersome.

Despite the strange direction of Alan Ball’s last season, this season appears to be getting back on track, following the extreme blowback against vampires with a weaponized government officials and a breakdown of the legal system in Louisiana.

These aspects, plus the hype of new characters, have been enough to carry the season without Alan Ball, and even make it enjoyable. It brings back the high stakes plots, more exploration of established relationships between characters and a fun new Big Bad on the horizon. As I’ve already noted, there are some flaws, including some gagworthy romantic dialogue that seemed uncharacteristically cheesy for Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) in the first episode, but other than that, it’s still got the drama and the twists to keep its viewers reeled in till the end.

FOODIE COUCH SURFING Part one: instructional shows

BY AMIRAH ZAVERI AND PAUL ANGELILLO

F

rom stalwarts like Ina Garten and Giada De Laurentiis to the new tricks of Nadia G, summer food programming draws on newly in-season ingredients and offers the armchair chef a chance to not just drool at the television, but sink their teeth into some vibrant, exciting recipes. Whether it’s reviewing some basic techniques or learning how to make a whole new cuisine, these notable shows will act as a cooking curriculum that, if followed, will have you eyeing your first James Beard award come the fall.

Barefoot Contessa Food Network Former White House budget analyst turned selftaught cook Ina Garten remains a staple of food television with over one decade and 100 episodes under her belt. While the show offers peeks into both the host’s world travels and her life in East Hampton, N.Y., stays steadfast in its focus on the preparation of a fresh, multi-course meal for family or friends. Recipes often come from a traditional French background, but episodes will often reach into other parts of Europe, Asia and even South

Used with permission from The Food Network

America for inspiration. Further, Garten’s attention to local ingredients and vegetables grown in very her own garden lends itself to the outdoors and summer season. While she is certainly not afraid to approach more complex, nuanced dishes, viewers will find Garten’s warm, calm demeanor to be the perfect guide for recreating her dishes at home.

Giada at Home Food Network Giada De Laurentiis, previously host of the Emmy Award-winning daytime cooking show, Everyday Italian, and the 2012 inductee into the Culinary Hall of Fame, is now host of Giada at Home. The show features her cooking in a set kitchen similar to the one in her own home. Born in Rome and having grown up in a large Italian family, she mainly focused on quick, healthy and traditional Italian cooking throughout most of her career. In Giada at Home, she ventures into a new arena and focuses on planning and preparing unique meals and parties for friends and family, California-style. With a wide smile and bubbly personality, she artfully assembles distinctive, creative recipes like penne with

butternut squash and goat cheese, baked macaroni and cheese cupcakes, curried chicken and apple wraps and frozen banana ice cream sandwiches.

Nadia G’s Bitchin’ Kitchen Cooking Channel Filled to the brim with attitude and spunk, Bitchin’ Kitchen blends the irreverent comedy of the host’s YouTube series with the traditional cooking show format. Though this means the actual instruction might be interrupted by anything from musical numbers to parody sketches, Nadia ensures her viewers will be entertained any second they’re not learning something. The host, though chiefly inspired by her Italian heritage, draws on the culture of her hometown of Montreal and a healthy love of booze to craft hip, imaginative dishes and drinks that escape any one culinary identity. Bacon chocolates, bourbon vanilla milkshake shooters, foie gras lollipops and veal saltimbocca sandwiches headline a list of recipes perfect for impressing fellow food snobs at summer parties or simply breaking the monotony of more everyday dishes. Though her accent may grate some ears, Nadia’s energy and bravado are infectious, drawing in viewers who might otherwise never take a chance on an instructional show.

Avec Eric www.aveceric.com/PBS Silver-haired chef Eric Ripert (of New York’s No. 1 Zagat-rated, three Michelin star Le Bernardin) uses the verve and spice of a travel show to complement the featured recipes and technical instruction that drive each episode of Avec Eric. Often beginning with a short informational segment at a location like a farm, beach or foreign city, Ripert grounds the dishes he presents in terms of a larger idea like “teamwork” or “traditions” and helps show the sort of thinking inherent in the creation of new flavors.

Considered one of the foremost chefs in the world

with regards to fish and seafood, Ripert makes broad use of everything from salmon and snapper to spiny lobster and soft shell crab in his dishes. This is not to discount the chef’s decidedly French-style beef bourguignon, chicken paillard and crepes suzette are all given their own episodes as well. With episodes devoted to “farm-to-table” cuisine and artisanal products, as well as an underscored devotion to the very freshest ingredients, Avec Eric fits the bill for learning perfectly executed but locally responsible summer fish and seafood.

Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen PBS With summer cooking inextricably centered around the great tradition of the barbecue, Steven Raichlen’s workshop on all things grilling and smoking can only be described as essential viewing for the season. Though Raichlen hardly looks the part of an expert, the Barbecue Bible author and former Bon Appetit “Cooking Teacher of the Year” makes grilling approachable to the novice while still offering something for the more experienced barbecuer. Clearly stated and shown steps for everything from grill lighting to food preparation are peppered with personal anecdotes and scientific explanations that provide extra depth and understanding. Recipe wise, the host hardly limits himself to the American barbecue mainstays, instead embracing grill culture from around the world and teaching viewers the techniques behind spiessbraten, kalbi kui and paella primavera, among other dishes. Offering more than a no-nonsense crash course for the uninitiated while simultaneously giving inspiration for the already-skilled grill aficionados, Primal Grill takes its place as the be-all and end-all of summer instructional grill shows.

A PLACE AT THE TABLE Champaign’s local table tennis stars compete

BY DAVE GREEN

In

the well-lit Next Generation School gym, 12 ping-pong tables are evenly distributed. In the corner, far from the entrance, two of the youngest players in the room compete.

They are also two of the best.

Akash Pardeshi, 10, and David Sun, 11, trade forehands and backhands on three corners of the table. A small box sits in the fourth corner, rapidly emptying of balls. In the air between them, a tiny ball barrels back and forth between paddles, and any thought I had of challenging one of them to a match flies right out the window. Pardeshi is ranked No. 1 in the nation in his age group. But he’s not just good for his age. He’s just good.

With a current rating of 2,049, which falls in USA Table Tennis’ “expert” player designation, he regularly routs players twice his age. Sun is right behind him, rated at 1,896.

The Champaign County Table Tennis Club, where they now practice, is hosting a tournament this Saturday, July 20. It will draw players from throughout the Midwest, from Chicago to Indiana to Missouri, as well as a couple of players from Texas. In the morning, unranked players and those under 1,700 will compete for a top prize of $75. Starting at 2 p.m., Pardeshi and Sun will test their skills in the over 1,500 tournament.

Both Pardeshi and Sun have been playing for around three years, and both joined the table tennis club shortly after it opened in February 2011. Created by Bryant Evans, the club consisted of only five or six players. Due to the demand in the community for a table tennis club, it quickly grew into an organized group.

This success led Evans to pursue a coaching certification and to hire first-rate instructors who provide the local community with something it has never had before. As Evans notes, aside from the University's Illini Table Tennis Club, “There was no professional coaching in this community before we started this club.”

The club provides more than just serious coaching for serious players. Its new location at the Next Generation School in south Champaign offers a large, air-conditioned place for those who don’t have the space or funds for a table of their own. It also brings together new opponents for those who have outgrown the competition of their husbands, daughters or friends.

Players range from 5 years old to 84, proving that table tennis can almost literally be enjoyed by all ages. The benefits of the all-levels policy can be seen in the rapid improvements of Pardeshi and Sun. “We feed off each other,” said Evans, who notes that he has doubled in skill level since starting the club. As is so often the case, bringing a group of strong athletes together elevates the level of everyone’s play.

The coaches Evans brought into the club have the serious experience necessary to train highlevel players. Coach June May stands in the cor-

ner and launches ball after ball at a young player.

“This multiball drill is fantastic for footwork, and (May) can do this more rapidly than anyone I’ve ever seen," said Evans, "and she’s still able to put different spins on it and move you corner to corner."

May’s aptitude at running the multiball drill makes sense considering she was a providential table tennis player in China and was trained at a specialized table tennis school.

Danny Seemiller Jr., the club's head coach, is the son of Dan Seemiller Sr., the highest-ranked modern American player in the world. Seemiller Jr. was part of the youth national team and continues to rank highly in tournaments.

In the tournament this weekend, however, Pardeshi and Sun will be on their own. Pardeshi,

whose dad bought their table at a Thanksgiving sale, has played in this particular tournament two or three times before. He is coming off a recent success at a tournament in Las Vegas.

When asked if he gets nervous or feels pressure, he simply replied, “No.” He doesn’t seem like the type to let things get to him. In fact, Pardeshi shapes his play style in reaction to his opponent. He said each player has a tendency or weakness, and the biggest challenge is to find out what that one thing is. For instance, Pardeshi said, “If someone is always hitting it fast, I try to go short so they won’t be able to return it.”

When asked why he started playing, Sun said, “My mom knows how to play, and she wanted to pass down the knowledge to me.” Sun’s mom was a professional player when she was young,

and Sun took strongly to her lessons. He said matches at home can get pretty competitive, but that the competition is actually one of his favorite aspects of the sport.

Sun’s play style focuses on rallies and speed, a style he credits to his strong footwork. He sounds excited for the tournament Saturday, but mentions that sometimes the pressure can be a little intense. When that happens, Sun said, “You just have to remember that if you lose, you lose. It’s not the end of the world.”

Regardless of the outcome of this tournament, both players have bright futures, with Pardeshi in particular being a contender for the national team. Make sure to come check out a couple local stars this weekend, and who knows? Maybe you’ll be inspired to pick up the paddle.

AN APPLE-PEALING PROSPECT Curtis Orchard opens for the season

BY ALEX SLIFER

Curtis Orchard. Used with permission from Creative Commons

On

July 20, Curtis Orchard will open for another season. While they won’t hold any formal event for the opening, they will sell fresh-baked pies, apple donuts and their awardwinning apple cider.

For those of you who are newer to the CU area, Curtis Orchard is an autumn staple. There are few better ways to spend a sunny afternoon than to take a relaxing trip to Curtis Orchard. They have plenty of activities to enjoy such as minigolf, a corn maze, a tractor ride and you-pick apples. Aside from the activities, Curtis Orchard is a great place to explore since there is no admission fee. If you are taking your first trip out to the orchard, be sure to try their famous apple donuts and one of their signature cider slushes.

For the annual visitors of Curtis Orchard, you know they try to have something new each sea-

son. I spoke with the manager, Chris Curtis, and while he couldn’t tell me exactly what they have in the works this year, he did reveal that visitors can expect to see something new later this fall.

The Curtis family first settled at the orchard way back in 1873. They simply operated a traditional farm with cows, pigs, corn and beans until 1977, when Paul Curtis had a different vision for running the farm. That’s when he planted the first apple trees. From there, business began to boom, so Paul quit his teaching job at Parkland College in order to run the orchard full-time.

Visitors last season may have noticed the you-pick orchards were closed for the year. According to Chris Curtis, the orchard lost over 80 percent of their crops to a deadly frost. Fortunately, the trees are looking great this year and you-picks will be in operation (though they

will be a week or two later than usual). Despite the crops being a bit behind, the orchard will certainly be selling bags of apples in their store beginning July 20.

They don’t only sell apples down at Curtis Orchard; they have a whole building full of “down home” goods. I can personally recommend the corn salsa as well as the cinnamon honey butter. For the young at heart, they have a selection of toys for sale. Later in the season, keep an eye out for the pumpkin patch to open. Around Halloween, Curtis Orchard is the best place near CU to get your seasonal pumpkins, squash or decorations. Also, be sure to check out their extensive tea selection. It will help you stay warm on those cool autumn nights.

Attached to the store is the Flying Monkey Cafe. They sell hot meals, sandwiches and

baked goods which are baked in-house. It’s a great place to grab lunch during a day of fun.

The Flying Monkey Cafe is open Aug. 17 to Nov. 17. Once the fall season comes into full swing, extra activities will open. On the weekends, the orchard will have inflatable activities such as the giant slide and obstacle course. They also offer wagon rides and putt putt golf.

My personal favorite, however, is the corn maze. Wandering through the narrow winding passages of corn to find the checkpoints (if you find all of them, you win a prize!) is one of the best ways to spend a sunny afternoon. And for the country music lovers, there is live folk, country and bluegrass music most Saturday and Sunday afternoons in September and October.

So be sure to take a visit to Curtis Orchard this fall. It’s a “must-do” in CU. July 18-24, 2013 buzz 7

The Urbana Museum of Photography shows Taste of Chicago exhibit

BY ANWEN PARROTT

The Urbana Museum of Photography presents Joseph Sterling’s "Taste of Chicago Photographs." Used with permission from Alibi Fine Art in Chicago

T

here is a small door wedged between Mirabelle Fine Pastries and the Cinema Gallery in downtown Urbana. It is easy to overlook, but taking a moment to pay attention to it will undoubtedly be one of the best decisions you’ve made this summer.

This door leads to The Urbana Museum of Photography, a non-profit photography museum located in downtown Urbana. The museum’s latest exhibit celebrates the Taste of Chicago with photographer Joseph Sterling’s collection of the summer tradition.

The month-long exhibit comes to an end this Saturday, July 20. It is open Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Local artist Alexei “Lyosha” Svinarski founded the Urbana Museum of Photography and its accompanying gallery in 2012. Although the museum is barely one year old, its impact on

8 buzz July 18-24, 2013

the community is already expansive.

As Svinarski explained, his goal was “not just to open a gallery to show artwork in, but to attract attention to the history of Urbana through photographs.”

While exhibits rotate in and out of the museum, one wall remains constantly filled with photographs of Urbana through the ages. A dark room at the back of the building is regularly used for the photography classes and workshops hosted by the museum. Employees also bring the art of film photography to members of the community, working with students at King Elementary School and residents of Clark Lindsey Village.

After much “chasing” and convincing, Svinarski said he and Lisa Janes, the curator of the museum, welcomed a truly special exhibit to the museum in mid-June. Joseph Sterling’s “Taste of Chicago Photographs” collection was taken at the annual event in 1959 and 1961, and

the photographs work seamlessly on the intimate walls of the museum’s gallery.

As Svinarski explained, Joseph Sterling used a wide-angle lens camera with a fixed aperture in this series, which allowed him to hold his camera very low while moving nondescriptly through the bustling crowds at the Taste. This made the photographer “nearly invisible” to those around him, allowing him to capture raw and unadulterated flashes of life as they unfolded. The resulting series of photographs is incredibly moving.

“Every single photo is full of life. They each tell a story,” Svinarski said. “It’s all about the human, preoccupied with their own joy.”

There are photographs of children with hotdogs in hand, disdainful women perhaps irritated by the heat, friends laughing as they survey their surroundings, joyful dogs and a child cling-

ing tightly to the security of her father’s leg.

Svinarski’s personal favorite features a small boy napping with his head on his mother’s lap.

“This little boy ... he must have been so tired after all of his wandering around, eating stuff ... and he just crashed on his mother’s lap, dreaming in the middle of the day,” Svinarski said. “It’s amazing.”

Street festivals are often overwhelming in person. It is usually insufferably hot and crowded, and each visitor is bombarded with more sounds and smells than the brain can begin to process. However, the photographs that Sterling captured in the midst of such chaos become almost serene. In a crowd of millions, Sterling finds tender, silent moments, where people are so real and flawed and perfect. Each photo is filled with understated emotion and life, and the shared experience between viewer and subject is a unique one.

LABEL ME CU: RAT KING RECORDS Looking at the local DIY label

BY SEAN NEUMANN This is the second installment in a series of buzz articles about Champaign-Urbana’s many record labels. To see the first article on Heirship Records, visit readbuzz.com.

S

urrounding a cluttered coffee table covered in vinyl records, cassette tapes and Gatorade, the three members of Kowabunga!

Kid are busy packaging their next Rat King Records release: It Ends.

Frontman and Rat King founder Aaron Shults sits on the floor, begging for bassist Kamila Glowacki and drummer John Menchaca to go with him to Hardee’s before they leave to play a Friday night show at Error Records. He’s hungry and tired after working all day and from being out until 1 a.m. the previous night preparing his label’s next few releases in what is shaping up to be one of the busiest months since Rat King began in 2011.

But it’s not work to Shults.

“This is predominantly for fun,” he said. “I like the music I put out, so the part that shouldn’t be any fun is still fun just because I just want physical copies of the music I like.”

As an avid fan and heavily active member of the Champaign-Urbana music scene, Shults plays in countless bands (Kowabunga! Kid, Need, Orange Soda and Easter, among others) and knows the importance of DIY labels first-hand.

Rat King Records’ first release was in 2011, after Shults came to his friends Trent Weber and Michael Donovan with a packaging idea for a cassette release by their band, Aphid House, which included placing a cassette inside a jar with a bug’s habitat of sticks and leaves.

Shults transformed the dream-like idea into a reality and Rat King’s first release came to form.

The label has put out a number of ChampaignUrbana bands since then, including two popular 2012 releases in Horrible Things’ Dumb Days and Anna Karenina/Anna Karina’s Autobiographies.

While working with friends and other local musicians, having a label in place to put out his own bands’ material is somewhat comforting to Shults.

“I think it’s easier,” Shults said. “Maybe we don’t get as much exposure for our music as it would get being on a different label, but I like working on my stuff myself or with friends.”

Kyle Lang (of Easter and Need) agreed, knowing the level of dedication Shults puts into the label from years of living together and even working together on Rat King’s fifth release by his old band, Pontow.

“It’s kind of cool for (DIY labels) to exist because they work as a little database for bands and releases that are either made by the same couple people or made with similar creative intentions,” Lang said.

“There are all different kinds of artists and art, so the label can be a database of virtually anything, as long as all the releases or artists share something.”

The one thing most releases on Rat King have in common is simply Aaron Shults, himself.

Either playing in the bands on the label or just

being close friends with the artists, Shults is always at the epicenter of the musical carousel that is Rat King Records.

“It’s not as hard as you’d think,” Shults said of balancing his busy schedule between playing in bands and running the label. “Whenever there’s spare time, I find myself able to work on stuff until four in the morning or so, whenever I get on a roll.”

While Shults might call Rat King an enjoyable hobby, local labels are a vital advantage for a music scene.

Rat King Records is just one of many DIY labels that help circulate the Champaign-Urbana scene, including Menchaca’s Crippled Sound Records, Sean Hermann’s Skeletal Lightning and Nathan

Landolt’s Error Records — all close friends of Shults’ and all important in keeping the Champaign-Urbana scene breathing at a healthy pace.

“I think it really shows what kind of city we live in,” Shults said. “It’s even cooler that we’ve all done stuff on a national scale, too, so it’s like we’re bringing Champaign out to Orlando, Chicago or Boston or wherever.”

Earlier this year, Rat King released a split from two Orlando punk bands, Jr. Meowzer and Lob Law — a step into new territory for the primarily local label that Shults remains proud of.

Despite enjoying the experience of putting out a national release, Shults’ next plans for Rat King are all local.

In 2013, Rat King Records is planning releases from CU artists Kowabunga! Kid, Single Player and Orange Soda — all with Shults finding enough time to go on a two and a half week tour with his band Kowabunga! Kid across the United States and Canada later this month.

Still sitting around the table, he and his friends find a way to joke around after spending hours diligently working to pack just enough records to sell at their next few shows, but it’s in this time it becomes clear that the Rat King himself speaks the absolute truth: All the hard work is in the name of fun.

Before he leaves, Shults picks up a feeble cardboard box filled with Rat King releases to sell at the show and heads for the door. “See you at the show.”

PITCHFORK PERFECT

Our music editor shares her Pitchfork picks

JONE SIN’

”Hunt and Peck” -- keys are the key

P

itchfork Music Festival is consistently my favorite summer music event because it has the delicate balance of everything a festival should have.

For example, people do their fair share of drugs at Pitchfork, but unlike how most festivals nowadays have become more about drugs than music, Pitchfork holds true to its original purpose.

It’s also urban, in Chicago’s Union Park, a bit further removed from The Loop than Grant Park, where Lollapalooza takes place a few weeks later every year. It’s a much nicer, shadier (like, trees, that is) venue for music versus being in the middle of a busy city.

It’s also just small enough. Tickets are cheap(ish) and they don’t sell out in a flash. During the festival, you don’t feel as if you’re trekking across a muddy swamp to get from stage to stage. There are only three, and fewer stages means fewer conflicts as well.

Most importantly though, Pitchfork always offers a great mixture of legendary bands and artists making their comebacks, current big acts in the indie scene, as well as some of the best rising up-and-comers. If you plan on heading up to Chicago this weekend, here are the bands in each category that I am surely not missing.

Wire It’s hard to be an old punk without being criticized for returning to music for strictly monetary purposes. Perhaps we’ll never know for sure, but I’d wager that Wire are here to make more awesome music for us. Change Becomes

12 buzz July 18-24, 2013

Us is the name of their excellent new album that was released this year. I find it truly amazing that in today’s musical environment, a British post-punk band whose best work was their legendary trio of albums from the ‘70s can continue to develop, make music and expand their career into the present. I’m excited to see what they have in store for the live festival crowd.

Joanna Newsom If the name “Joanna Newsom” rings a bell to you only because of the press surrounding her recent engagement to former SNL star Andy Samberg, shame on you. Over the years, she has proven that her unconventional voice and style are durable and continuously refreshing to all sorts of music fans. Harpist, pianist and enchantress Newsom is an indie mainstay, and in my opinion she is overdue for a new album. I’ll be crossing my fingers for some new songs at this set.

Autre Ne Veut Sure, it’s a Justin Timberlake year, and sure, The Weeknd has recently debuted a new single, but my favorite electronic R&B singer/musician remains New Yorker Arthur Ashin, better known as Autre Ne Veut. His unconventional, glitchy, synth-driven music provides the perfect backdrop for his seductive voice. Anxiety is the name of Autre Ne Veut’s 2013 break-out album, one that definitely has a spot secured on my yearend “best of” list. Check him out at the fest this year, and he might become your favorite too.
