SLEATER-KINNEY - NO CITIES TO LOVE REVIEW By Christine Pallon 2 buzz January 30-February 5, 2015

MUSIC After a decade-long hiatus, the riot grrrl punks are back with No Cities to Love, an album already poised to take Best of 2015 lists by preemptive storm. Check out our review of the group’s first album since 2005.

It is hard to be a blink-182 fan. Ever since the announcement of the band’s indefinite hiatus beginning in 2005, following the boner-joke antics of the perpetual tweens has been a long, frustrating rollercoaster. They announced their reunion in 2009, promising a new record “soon� and claiming they were already hitting the studio, yet their first album back – the dismal trainwreck and coliseum of bad guitar tones, Neighborhoods – did not arrive for another two years. Since that mess was unleashed on the world, we have been consistently promised new material. Although we did get the holiday special EP, Dogs Eating Dogs, at the end of 2012, the band and their management were never able to organize a physical release. There were cancelled tour dates and three more awful Angels & Airwaves records. But when the shit hit the fan earlier this week, it reached a whole new level. To recap: on Monday morning, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker released a statement that Tom Delonge had quit the band and they would be appearing at Musink Festival with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio on guitar. That afternoon, Tom responded via his Instagram page and claimed he had not quit the band. Mass confusion obliterates the Internet for a while. Mark and Travis gave an exlusive interview to Rolling Stone that evening and confirmed what everyone already knew – Tom can’t commit and has been holding them back. Tom retaliated the next day by tweeting (and almost immediately deleting said tweet) that he and Mark had discussed booting Travis from the band, but, in an interview with Alternative Press, Mark challenged Tom’s claim. Tom released a statement Wednesday that realigned his commitments to Angels & Airwaves – cementing the reality of blink’s second hiatus. It has been obvious for a long time that Tom was the one holding them back. This week’s disaster just solidified that. Legally, Mark and Travis probably won’t be able to use the blink name but they seem eager to record again and, now that they’re free of the burden Tom posed, they’ll likely do something in the next couple months. I would be really stoked if these live shows spur a collaboration between Mark, Travis, and Matt Skiba. I would be very interested to hear such a project. That might be dreaming for too much, but at a minimum I think we’ll get a second +44 record. I guess this is growing up.

HEADS UP!

RESOLUTIONS REVISITED LEAH PAREKH Although it can be tough, don’t let your New Years resolutions slip this year! Here are three ways to make 2015’s resolutions a reality: Remind Yourself A resolution may not stick simply due to forgetfulness, but you can combat this is by setting reminders that you’re sure to see, such as a note on your phone or a post it on your computer. Team up With Friends Checking up on each other’s progress will not only boost everyone’s motivation, but make it more difficult to make excuses. It’s also a good way to spend more time with friends if any resolutions are shared, such as exercising more. Quality Over Quantity Although some may have multiple aspects they would like to change in their lives, it’s not realistic to do it all at once. Rather than make a long list of resolutions, hone in on a couple that are most important to you and makes notes of why they are priorities. Hang it up on your bathroom mirror to start every day off with a reminder of why keeping your resolutions will make your life—or even just your day—better.

As you’ll well remember, a few days ago all of campus became the world’s largest but least convenient ice rink (or alternatively, the ninth circle of Hell). Getting back home from class turned a somewhat dull, humdrum commute into a gauntlet of frozen terror. I never realized how grateful I was to friction until it was cruelly taken away from me, and even the slightest angle sent me sliding to my doom.

»DECENCY, IN THE FORM OF A RETURNED WALLET If you read last week’s edition of buzz, you’ll know I’ve recently experienced some minor shitty luck. However, everything’s coming up Milhouse! Not only do I have a phone once again (shout out to papa Penn and his excellent timing of upgrading to a new phone and renouncing his former), but I have a god damn wallet again: my original wallet. Just so you know, it’s a small, brown firehose wallet that I acquired from the Duluth Trading Co. on clearance approximately seven years ago. Something intimate about it: whenver experiencing some nervous jitters, I squeeze or start flipping it around in my pocket. This has led to its almost smelly scent and slightly distressed appearance from years of clammy hand fondling. A moral I’ll dish out in this? If you find someone’s shit, especially something important (like a wallet!), return it. Do your best. If you even need a fucking reason for such an action, besides general decency, think of it as good karma for the future. (Asshole.) In the words of a wise man named Ken Burns from the Ozarks, “Go forth and do good.”

»HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARIES IN CLASS Some people hate them or find them boring, but I find them informative and relaxing. A well spoken host or news anchor introduces a bunch of old people who talk about their lives, and they usually have pretty good stories. Also, old people talking is relaxing. It’s like getting a brain massage in the middle of class.

“AND

did you get what you created from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth,” says the opening credits of Birdman (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), quoting Raymond Carver. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s magically surreal drama-comedy shows promise all around. From the cast of all-star actors to the quick dry wit to the openended plot, there’s something for everyone to latch onto. The focus of the film is the frustratingly self-involved Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton), a once-famous Hollywood actor, now trying to create meaningful art on Broadway in recreating Raymond Carver’s short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” Fast-paced from the start, audience members should pay close attention. With the initial scene calm, surreal and meditative, viewers quickly learn how uncollected Thomson is, in addition to the limits of his artistic drive, as he smashes any articles in his dressing room’s path. A representation of our human loneliness and unimportance, Thomson’s struggle to make his play “art” becomes painful to witness. At first, his actions towards ensuring the play’s success prove merely comical. However, as time passes, we feel the chaotic dread of an inevitable failure clouding us as an audience as he does, too. Coming to

terms with his own lack of importance, the one resolve that is ultimately rewarded to viewers is that a multitude of meaning and recognition can be shelled out to an individual by strangers, yet if it comes from those close to the heart, it actually holds an ounce of real consequence. Yet Thomson begrudgingly comes to face what any existing human being must: The inevitability of acknowledging that, as Sartre says, “Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.“ No longer is it merely acceptable to Thomson to just be known for his fruitlessly frivolous days as the superhero Birdman. With an ex-wife he still loves, an estranged daughter recovering from rehab, and several pandemoniac opening nights on steroids, the only thing Thomson can hold onto is the fact that he’s not important anymore. But eventually something changes: A shift occurs in the man, and the audience waits to see if it’s really true. Using Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography to help make the screen’s magically surreal scenes merge so without a hitch, much of the film appears as a single, monumentally long tracking shot. Following the amalgamated scenes into key moments like the scene where Thomson dejectedly walks from the low, neon blue of the theatre to the howling and cruddy streets of New

York, the mood becomes juxtaposed with his walking into a liquor store completely overlaid with thousands of hanging lights twinkling the rainbow’s colors. Even the most mundane yet recurring aspect that audiences follow where Thomson’s moves, the twisting and turning backstage hallways of the theatre, views as a comforting touch. And yet, the cherry atop the mesmerizing tracking shots and the jumps between reality and dreamlike scenes is Antonio Sanchez’s heart-like drumming sets. Much like the map that is used to help viewers navigate the often murky waters of what Thomson is thinking and feeling, Sanchez’s jazz drum solos start off before any characters are introduced and remain as the credits begin rolling. Combined with the heart of Carver’s short story, the small and staccato bursts of hi-hat become more impassioned and topsy-turvy, as emotions run free within the theatre. As Carver’s short story says, “I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone’s heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.” In the movie theater watching Birdman, the audience sits unmoving in the dark as the credits roll. The drum keeps beating, as we sit no longer able to ignore our former ignorance. Instead, we miss it.

WORD

of mouth might not seem too effective in the age of the Internet, but Aron Stromberg doesn’t think so. Most of today’s local bands take advantage of every social media outlet available, not only to self-promote but to communicate with fans. Stromberg is slightly more old-fashioned when it comes to his band The Superior State. “Basically, I just have that shitty Facebook page and Bandcamp site,� Stromberg said, laughing. “Most of it is word of mouth. I know a lot of people in town, so when something’s going on, I’ll let them know.� Not to mention the band’s Facebook page is only a year old, even though Stromberg said he’s been working on the Superior State project for 10-to-12 years before finally recording in 2014. Way before the Facebook page, he was with the band Evil Tents, which released both an EP (Emptiness is Loveliness) and a full-length album (Night Air on the Midway) in 2011.

“We were together for about two years, and then I just decided to start working on my own solo material,� Stromberg said. Skip ahead to 2014 when The Superior State officially released its first EP, Four Walls. “I wrote it and recorded it in four days,� Stromberg said. “I got it done really quickly. It was a Christmas present for my family.� If anything, Stromberg should be known for working quickly. “My guess is I’m probably going to try to press to vinyl in about three months,� he said. “The recordings are going really well, and I’m moving pretty quickly so I’m pretty excited about it.� Once completed, The Superior State’s LP will be available at shows. But after Friday night, it’ll be awhile before the band plays another show. “For the meantime, (Friday’s show) is probably going to be the last one I have until the record’s done,� Stromberg said. “I find shows to be a little bit distracting, especially when I have a lot of songs that need to be finished.�

The Champaign musician may be a quick worker, but he prefers to focus on one thing at a time. “I just feel like when I’m working on songs, especially this record, that it’s really important to just stay immersed in the creative mind space,� Stromberg said. “The more you’re in that certain mind space, the more fluid the process becomes.� If his creative mind space can churn out four tracks in four days, the break between shows shouldn’t be too long. Like Stromberg said, “It’s just tough to juggle both things.� When the album is completed, more shows and a summer tour are guaranteed for The Superior State. “I’m going to be hitting the road for sure,� he said. “I know I’m probably going to play in Chicago sometime after the record comes out.� The tour may not yet be fully planned but, leave Stromberg to his creative mind space, and he’ll get the ball rolling. In the meantime, the

last show before the potential three-month hiatus will be this Friday night at Mike ‘N’ Molly’s.

to sleep outside in a cardboard box for one night in Illinois during February is not something many people choose to do, but that is what participants will be doing at C-U at Home’s One Winter Night. “I got involved with One Winter Night through my Stamps scholarship when my fellow Stamps Scholars and I wanted to find a way to serve our community after reflecting upon the gift of education we have been granted,� said University student Kristen Cantieri, who will be participating in the event for the third time. One Winter Night will take place in downtown Champaign on Friday, Feb. 6. This event raises awareness of homelessness by giving volunteers a taste of what people who are homeless go through every night. Volunteers spend a night in a box in order to raise awareness and educate. This is the fourth year that One Winter Night is taking place in Champaign. “This fundraiser puts you outside on an Illinois night in February, not August or September,’ Cantieri said. “In order to feel the cold, it gives you boxes to sleep in, not air mattresses or pillows. In order feel the hard ground beneath you as you try to fall asleep, it places you in downtown Champaign, not in a quaint neighborhood.� C-U at Home Executive Director Melany Jackson oversees the planning of the event as well as the recruiting of box dwellers and business sponsors. Jackson also participated in the event as a box dweller the first year that the event took place. C-U at Home is an organization that has the primary goal to house and support the most

vulnerable of homeless people. Jackson said that to make the event a success, they need box dwellers that are willing to sleep outside in a cardboard box for 12 hours and to raise at least $1,000 for C-U at Home through the experience. They also need business sponsors to donate to One Winter Night. The event will also need volunteers to help with set-up and teardown as well as volunteer sign-in, hospitality, donations, signs and more. Jackson said that all of the businesses financially supporting C-U at Home through business sponsorship are quite valuable to reaching the fundraising goal this year of $100,000. “It’s the way our organization survives; it’s incredibly important for our organization,� Jackson said. “It gives (participants) a powerful opportunity. It’s very eye-opening.� The box dwellers will be set up with their boxes by 6 p.m. This year, there are about 50 box dwellers, which is improvement compared to about 30 box dwellers is past years. There are a variety of people who are volunteering to participate in this event. There will be high school students, University students, pastors, business leaders and many other people set up as box dwellers. Many people participate as part of a group like Cantieri and the other Stamps Scholars. “Homelessness is so much more prevalent in Champaign than it is in my hometown, and I wanted to be able to understand it a little more,� said University student Hanna Boorom, who is participating in One Winter Night for her second time this year for Service and Justice Outreach

through St. John’s Catholic Newman Center. Events occurring during and after One Winter Night include: educational speakers, magic tricks, music, hot beverages, donation stations and a full, hot breakfast for the volunteers. Once their night as a box dweller is over, the volunteers will gather for the full hot breakfast to discuss their night. This year there is a new educational component to the event that will aid in the hope to raise awareness of homelessness. The event will feature many different educational speakers to enhance the experience by educating people about homelessness. Jackson said that speakers will be people who have been homeless sharing their story with anyone who wants to hear. “My favorite aspect of One Winter Night is quite simply the way it simulates homelessness,� Cantieri said. “I am a strong believer that if you put yourself in someone’s shoes and feel what it is like to be in his or her situation, you are more likely to take actions, make decisions and give financially to make that situation better.� Cantieri said that because of this event that has become a staple of her college years, she has looked for other ways to reach out to help the homeless in any way that she can, even if it is just something small. “My favorite aspect of One Winter Night was the passion that all of the volunteers brought,� Boorom said. “You could almost forget that it was 30 degrees outside when looking around; the energy and excitement was palpable.�

VIRTUOSITY

is normally reserved for music—and the Illinois Dance Department has taken that as a challenge. As part of the Dance at Illinois series, the Krannert Center will be hosting “The Virtuosic,” a multi-piece dance showcase. The recital runs from Feb. 5 and 7 and will feature the

work of five different choreographers, including a professional piece from New York choreographer David Parker, performed by Illinois alumni Nic Petry and Amber Sloan. Dance professors Jan Erkert and Renée Wadleigh will also be showcasing their work, and the event will also feature pieces by two new faces: Abby Zbikowski and Endalyn Taylor.

The alumni dancers are part of the Beverly Blossom/Carrie Erickson Alumni Award, which allows the Dance department at Illinois to bring in an alumni guest every year. While having former students come back to choreograph and perform is wonderful, said Jan Erkert, also the head of the Dance department, she says it’s an even better networking opportunity for Dance students. “It helps them see that this can actually happen in their lives,” Erkert said. “They can be actual professional dancers. And it’s great for the alumni because they get to come back and have a professional gig here, so it helps their careers as well.” The show’s theme of virtuosity refers to the technical skills that allow an artist to perform a piece, usually in reference to music. According to the Krannert website, Dance at Illinois hopes to “expand” the notion of virtuosity to dance. Alex Gossen, a Dance sophomore in Erkert’s piece, believes that dancers already embrace the idea of virtuosity in their normal work, performing as much and as fully as they can. “As dancers, we strive for that in every performance that we do,” Gossen said. “So the idea of trying to be virtuosic in our performances isn’t necessarily new.” Jan Erkert described virtuosity as an idea of commitment. Whether it’s a physical commitment to a series of fancy tricks or the mental commitment to keeping count, the dancer has to be committed physically, mentally and emotionally before any magic can happen. “It’s the combination of those three things that create what is “magic” onstage,” Erkert said. “If a performer has great physical skills but they don’t have the mental or emotional link to themselves, (the performance) ends up somewhat flat.” What makes this attempt at the virtuosic so special is what happens both on and off stage. Such a performance begins the “lifelong journey” for dancers to learn about their body. By studying the art, dancers don’t learn to master their body but how to recognize its capabilities and to call on them at any time. Above all, it’s about self discovery. “The training is about this Zen attitude towards body,” Erkert said. “It’s about being in it, understanding it and challenging (it).” An understanding of the body’s is crucial to Erkert’s piece, which relies on making a cast of 10 move in unison. Gossen describes the show as a “mix” of ideas both from Erkert and the other dancers. They started from one idea and worked

around it, taking the best sections people came up with and putting them together. They all decided they would each come up with a character for the dance and the piece developed from the complex chain of relations with each character. Dance sophomore Thomas Welsh-Huggins, also in Erkert’s production, said this was the more difficult part of the production. “The hardest part is embodying these characters that we’ve been creating and dancing and moving how they would, not just how we would,” Welsh-Huggins said. What makes it easier is that each dancer had to write up a whole biography and profile for their character. Welsh-Huggins, who has experience in musical theatre, says this is key to both acting, and the piece he’s doing now. “You want to be able to know who your character is, top to bottom,” he said. “If anyone asks you any questions—what’s your favorite color, what your parents are like, where you came from—you should know that.” Erkert said that the challenge is less about making one large group move as one but about fusing these 10 different types of movement into harmony. “The point is to bring all these different types together that can hold this unison feeling but still remain an individual within,” Erkert said. That “Zen” knowledge of understanding the body comes into play with these piece for one big reason: There is no count to it and yet all dancers have to move in unison. The rhythm isn’t a measured one but still requires the dancers to be precise with their movements. According to Jan Erkert, this means that each dancer will have to not only be able to read their own bodies but also read everyone else, read the space and make “communal decisions” about how everything will come together. “To me, that’s the virtuosity of the piece,” Erkert said. “Their ability to act as a community and hit this unison in a beautiful, precise way.” Erkert’s piece is currently moving from rehearsal space to stage. With the choreography done, Erkert says it’s “all about the production now;” that means dealing with the lighting that comes in, how the costumes work and checking on a “big surprise” that they have for the viewers. But while the big day for the dancers is near, it doesn’t mean this trip of self-discovery is anywhere near over. Catch “The Virtuosic” at Krannert’s Colwell Playhouse from Feb. 5 to 7.

Street welcomed Pho Café & Thai Kitchen on Dec. 22. The new spot, located adjacent to Brothers Bar & Grill, is the brainchild of husband and wife team Chai and Anan Soutchay who, though first-time restaurant owners, both have experience in the industry. The couple was very excited about opening Pho Café, especially because of their past experiences: “My husband and I have been in a jewelry business for over 15 years, and we just want to take the next step to make changes. It’s a new adventure for us, and I have always been in the restaurant business with my parents so we wanted to try it for ourselves,” Anan said. Anan’s husband is the head chef at the restaurant and has 20 years of experience behind the line, according to his wife.

There are two rows of wooden tables running along the length of the restaurant with a large counter against the left wall. Given that the walls are plain and lacking any decorations, this is definitely not the restaurant to have a fancy date or birthday dinner, but more of a pick-up or quick meal sort of place like most Asian restaurants on campus. Within seconds of walking in, my guests and I were greeted by a friendly, bubbly man behind the counter. He handed us menus, answered our questions and described the spiciness levels to us. We arrived at prime dinner hour (around 6 p.m.). A couple people entered the restaurant

behind us and more than half of the restaurant was already occupied. Like the restaurant, the menu is simple but offers 37 dishes ranging from soup to curry to pho—like typical Thai restaurants. Most items on the menu are around the eight-dollar range, which is very similar to Bangkok Thai. For the majority of the dishes, the customer can choose their protein, with options including beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and tofu. Given the straightforward style of the menu, this customization of entrées is a nice touch that ensures each patron gets exactly the flavor combination they desire. We sat down at a high-top table and waited just between five to 10 minutes before our order numbers were called. The food presentation was neat

and elegant on solid white plates served with rice and herbal accents. The serving sizes were reasonable but not enough for leftovers. Each appetizer came with sauces on the side which had a unique touch. The sweet and sour sauce that came with our spring rolls had a crunchy peanut topping. The most delicate and flavorful sauce, however, was the cucumber sauce served with the Chicken Satay. It may look watery with its cucumber pieces, yet it is sweet, sour and tangy all at once. The taste was compatible with other entrées and was the most delectable sauce. The Pad Ma Kua Yao (spicy eggplant stir-fry) was a tasty mixture of slightly crispy eggplant squares glazed with tangy, piquant stir fry sauce with a strong basil flavor. I was informed beforehand that

Got my fucking wallet back.. from Lot H. Where is that? Don't fucking know.

the dish was spicy, but there was no spicy flare to it. In fact, the dish was sweeter than I expected. Despite this miscommunication, the eggplant had such intense flavors of basil mixed with the perfectly cooked eggplant, which made me forget about the lack of spiciness. The Gaeng Karee (yellow curry) was very vibrant and smelled delicious. The texture was creamy, and the vegetables and tofu embraced the flavors. Nonetheless, this dish was also very mild, and, overall, this curry was appetizing but not anything unique. My other guests had chicken dishes where the chicken was dry until extra sauce was added. In total, everyone was satisfied with their food but not beyond impressed. The entrées were filling, fresh and contained a wide variety of veggies but the overall flavor was very mild and somewhat bland. Shortly after we had received our food, the man who had taken our order approached our table and asked about the food. He was very enthusiastic and friendly. The customer service was phenomenal especially for a restaurant where there is no wait-staff. Pho Café & Thai Kitchen is a definite positive addition to the Thai restaurants on campus. The service is great, the food portions are reasonable for the price and the food quality is similar to Bangkok Thai. Although the cuisine is not anything completely new, it is fresh, naturally flavorful and authentic, making it a solid addition to Green Street dining.
