Two EPs and one year of recording later, The 92s are back with their first full-length LP. Check our review of the CU band’s latest release. This article was pushed to this week from last week.

For music buffs, the Grammys are tricky.

On one hand, they’re probably the most legitimate of the yearly award ceremonies.

I mean, it’s not like they’ve got a whole lot of competition. They do a decent job of surveying a certain sector of mainstream, contemporary pop music. But they often skew to a conservative, safe demographic.

They often miss the mark in more niche categories, such as hip-hop (Macklemore, anyone?) and heavy metal. The best album of the year rarely wins the Best Album Grammy, if it’s even nominated at all. But people keep watching, and one thing’s for certain: The Grammys definitely spark conversation.

I am by no means a film expert, but I appreciate good movies like most people. There was even a time in my life, back when I was a middle school mallrat, when I went to the movies nearly every weekend. Though that was long ago, I can glean that the Oscars occupy a similar space in the hearts of cinephiles as the Grammys do for people like me. Some years they get it, but some years the Academy’s choices Crash and burn. For whatever reason, the voters shy away from the experimental, the high-risk, the blockbuster. Great directors, like Martin Scorsese, can go decades without an award, despite seeming to be a no-brainer in the audience’s eyes. Great actors can turn in scene-stealing performance after performance with only nominations to hang their hats on.

In the past year, I’ve only seen one of the films up for Best Picture: American Hustle. From what I’ve seen and read online, it’s one of the favorites to win the award. As a major Christian Bale fan, I loved the film. Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence all turned in top-notch performances. The rest of the cast filled in well, with small yet noteworthy roles for Louis C.K. and Robert De Niro, and the plot kept me hooked until the very end.

But enough about what I liked; what’s your bet for Best Picture this year? Are you all about Gravity? 12 Years A Slave? Do you think the Academy will go with something a little more under the radar? buzz is having an Oscar contest on its website where readers can submit their picks in seven major categories. If you guess right, you’ve got a chance to win some major prizes, courtesy of our friends at Goodrich Savoy 16. The first place winner gets 52 free movie passes, second place gets 26 passes and third gets 12. The contest ends on Saturday, so head to readbuzz.com/ academyawards before time runs out!

If I have all of the cheese I could ever want, why am I still unhappy?

HEADS UP!

Âť Papa John's “ILLINI5 Dealâ€?:

SPIRIT IN THE CU SKY

BY LAURA MURPHY Looking for something cool and relaxing to do on Saturday, March 8? You’re in luck! The Champaign-Urbana Astronomical Society (CUAS) is having its first open house of the year, and it’s sure to be a stellar time. The CUAS is an organization that was formed in 1986 by members of various park district astronomy classes interested in viewing the famous Halley’s Comet as it made its final appearance.

The club now has about 65 members and holds monthly meetings at the William M. Staerkel Planetarium at Parkland College, where all are welcome to attend. The organization holds public sky-watches on the Saturday of the first quarter moon, or as close to this phase as possible, assuming that the weather cooperates.

The first one of the year will be held on March 8 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the CUAS Observatory, located on County Road 700 E. It’s a free event that is open to star lovers of all ages. Come and see the moon and the stars, up close and personal, as you might have never seen them before. The event is going to be out of this world!

Looking for ways to get more involved with the CUAS? For more information and directions to the Observatory, visit its website at http://cuas. org. Be sure to check out its event calendar, newsletter and more!

If you didn’t see the email (of course you did), Papa John's is running a $5 large pizza deal through http://EatCU.com until the end of the semester. You just put “ILLINI5� in the coupon code section before you order. That means you can invite Papa over for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday until the semester ends ... or until you die. Either one is a win-win if you’ve got a large cheese pizza sitting on your lap. And on the off chance you don’t finish the whole thing in one sitting, you can wrap it up for the next meal.

Âť House shows: As you will read later in this magazine, I'm putting out a new record today (Friday).

I'm throwing a house show/party at my house in Urbana for the occasion. There is nothing more that I love in this world than awesome house shows, so I can't wait to go crazy with everyone tonight and celebrate art.

Âť Ellen’s big surprise: If you live under a rock and somehow didn’t hear that Ellen DeGeneres was planning “a big surpriseâ€? for the University last Monday, I envy you. The surprise ended up being a costume contest for students, with the winner getting a trip to Los Angeles to go to a taping of Ellen. That’s fine. That’s all fun and games. It’s a little stupid to have a huge event for something like that, but whatever, Ellen can do whatever she wants to do. The issue I have is with the student body. They came out in droves for this event. An estimated 4,500 people showed up, from what I’ve heard. They stood out in the cold and froze their collective ass off in 20 degree weather. I only mention this because a few months ago I participated in a rally for student loan reform and 40 people showed up. Forty people. Forty people came to an event that directly affects them.

People were even laughing at our enthusiasm for student loan reform as they walked by. Even last Monday, the same day that Ellen’s crew came to campus, there was a rally to support the continued inclusion of transgender heath care services in the student health care plan. I can guarantee that the number of attendees at that rally paled in comparison to the number of people who showed up to Ellen’s “big surprise,� hoping to be on daytime television for literally one second. If there’s any evidence that the world is going to hell, this is it.

ost critics’ “best movies of 2013” lists more than often include at least three or four of the Academy Award nominees for Best Picture. American Hustle, 12 Years a Slave and Captain Phillips, among the other contenders this year, were all notable films. However, every year without fail, the Academy excludes several worthy films from the major awards categories. The Academy often snubs musicals, horror flicks and widely appealing blockbusters from the mix. Thus, below is a list of five top-notch movies that very well could have received some Oscar love in an alternate universe.

2. The Spectacular Now: This indie darling seemed as if it could have been a surprise Oscar contender this year, following its honors at many festivals and positive audience reception upon its limited release in theaters. The coming-of-age romance is truly heartrending, and some moments will hit you like a shot through the heart. This film has stuck in my mind for months after seeing it and is one of the few pictures that really made me “feel” this past year. The 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes is well deserved, and some major award nominations would have been too.

1. The Conjuring: The Academy has never been a fan of horror movies, so it’s no surprise that James Wan’s The Conjuring has been snubbed this year. Powerhouse performances from Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga and Lili Taylor combined with a terrifying story and state-of-theart thrills make this one of the best fright flicks since The Exorcist and The Silence of the Lambs, both of which received Academy Awards. Not to mention the 86 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes is higher than several of this year’s Best Picture nominees.

3. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: It’s the highest grossing movie of 2013, stars several Oscar winners and nominees, and received excellent reviews from critics and audiences alike (89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). Nonetheless, The Hunger Games sequel fell victim to the Academy’s tacit “anti-blockbuster” belief (see: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and The Dark Knight). Maybe the Academy will finally do Katniss justice and nominate Mockingjay for some major awards if it’s as impressive as this latest installment. Let’s be honest, these movies are every bit as great as The Lord of the Rings adaptations.

4. Prisoners: This adult drama appeared to be a surefire award winner when it was released back in September. With an elite cast, stellar direction from Denis Villeneuve and a brooding sense of dread and emotional depth, this is exactly the type of psychological nail-biter that usually sees recognition during awards season.

Melissa Leo gives a chilling performance that should have earned her another Oscar nomination, and Hugh Jackman would not have looked out of place in the Best Actor category either.

5. The Book Thief: Perhaps the movie was too safe in its handling of Nazi Germany, or maybe Academy voters felt they’d seen too many films like this in past years. Regardless, this book adaptation was one of the most simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming pictures of the year. The powerful story of young girl who learns to read during World War II is appropriate for and certain to captivate viewers of all ages. Understated performances and pretty visuals add to the film’s beauty. It would have been refreshing to see The Book Thief among the sometimes outrageous, sometimes bizarre, R-rated fare that usually finds success at the Oscars.

CHOW DOWN IN CAMPUSTOWN Top picks for a noontime dish

Take a class at Common Ground!

BY SHRUTI SRIKUMAR

W

hether you’re a Champaign-Urbana resident, a member of the Fighting Illini or someone just visiting the area, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself on campus at noon sometime this spring. If this is the case, you may also find yourself in search of a good spot to stop for lunch. Luckily, campus hosts a wide range of restaurants that cater to all tastes and occasions.

Below is a varied list of some of the best lunch places that the University has to offer.

Caffe Paradiso Address: 801 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana Hours: 7:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m.

If you ever find yourself in the mood to take a leisurely lunch on campus, look no further than Caffe Paradiso. Caffe Paradiso is a quaint, locally owned establishment that serves up classic cafe drinks and plates. In addition, Caffe Paradiso offers a variety of confections that are delivered fresh each morning from Urbana’s own Mirabelle Fine Pastries. As far as specialties, one of the cafe’s more unique menu items is the affogato, which is an Italian dessert consisting of a couple of shots of steaming espresso poured over sweet vanilla ice cream. Apart from the pleasing food and drink, Caffe Paradiso also features a relaxed, cozy atmosphere perfect for getting homework done or simply chatting with friends. The eclectic decor and furnishings are also very welcoming, and the squishy couches implore visitors to sit down, put their feet up and enjoy a hot cup of coffee.

Manolo’s Pizza & Empanadas Address: 1115 W. Oregon St., Urbana Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m.–2:30 a.m.

Another great place on campus for a tasty lunch is Manolo’s Pizza & Empanadas. Located on 1115 W. Oregon St., it is situated fairly close to the Quad and has fast service, making it an ideal restaurant for anybody on the go. If you choose to stop by, make sure to get a slice of one of the specialty thin-crust pizzas or a few of the slightly-largerthan-bite-sized empanadas. While there, I chose to pick three empanadas for around $6. Unsurprisingly, the empanadas at Manolo's were delightfully flaky and included a wide range of flavors, such as spinach mushroom manicotti, inferno chicken and sausage manicotti. However, if I were to recommend something, it would most likely be the delicious barbecue meats pizza.

J Gumbo’s Address: 700 S. Gregory St., Urbana Hours: 11:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.

Not far from Manolo’s Pizza & Empanadas is another campus lunch outlet certainly worth mentioning. Situated on 700 S. Gregory St., J Gumbo’s is a perfect place for a lunch break for anyone who has business in Urbana. However, even if you aren’t in the area, paying a visit to J Gumbo’s would still be a great idea because J Gumbo’s is one of the few restaurants in Champaign-Urbana

that offers good old-fashioned Creole cuisine.

Dishes include the flavorful, albeit super spicy, voodoo chicken, beer-drenched drunken chicken, jambalaya and, of course, gumbo. In addition, J Gumbo’s offers its satisfying soul food at some pretty low prices. Hefty half-portions totaled less than $5, meaning that J Gumbo’s is an ideal option for students or residents on a budget.

The Y Thai Eatery Address: 1001 S. Wright St., Champaign Hours: Mon. – Fri. 10:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.

By far the most centrally located lunch outlet is the Y Thai Eatery. Positioned just inside the University YMCA, the Y Thai Eatery is in the perfect spot for anyone who has classes on the Quad. As its name suggests, the Y Eatery features authentic Thai cuisine including various curries, stir-fries, shrimp and tofu pad Thai, in addition to familiar favorites such as fried rice, General Tso’s chicken and eggrolls. For anyone who hasn’t had a taste of Thai food, I would certainly recommend starting with the Y Eatery’s sweet, nutty and spicy pad Thai. The Y Thai Eatery also offers some ethnic beverages for anyone who wants a fully Thai meal. Specialty drinks include Thai coffee and Thai tea. Finally, it is worth noting that The Y Thai Eatery has conveniently low prices at $5 per entree as well as downright friendly service.

The Red Herring Restaurant and Coffee House Address: 1209 W. Oregon St., Urbana Hours: Monday – Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Wednesdays, 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

The Red Herring is an interesting eatery because it offers customers completely vegetarian and vegan food options. However, if you are a meat eater, you too will be satisfied with the Red Herring’s wholesome and hearty entrees. Examples of some of the cafe’s standard dishes include falafels, barbecue seitan, black bean patties and vegan chili. The Red Herring also features different soups depending on the day, as well as seasonal juices and ciders and sides like the veggie saute. Additionally, items can be ordered as a half or full portions, with prices $3.75 to $5.25, respectively. The Red Herring has a friendly, upbeat atmosphere with plenty of seating, making it a nice choice for large groups or just casual outings.

Urban Chickens for Beginners Thursday, March 13, 6-7:30pm

The Bread Company Address: 706 S. Goodwin Ave., Urbana Hours: Monday – Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.

Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.

Sat. 11:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.

Sun. 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

For a more formal food venue, The Bread Company on Goodwin is a good pick. The restaurant offers diners a more sophisticated atmosphere without feeling stuffy. Also, as the name would suggest, the Bread Company prides itself in being a family-owned restaurant that produces various fresh breads every day. Of course, there are other menu items apart from bread that The Bread Company offers, namely sandwiches, such as the Hawaiian, salmon burger, prosciutto and Nutella, to list a few. As far as prices, The Bread Company is just slightly more expensive than the other restaurants in this guide; however, costs still only total to around $8.25 per entree. The Bread Company is well-suited for dates, and meals with family, friends or coworkers. Either way, The Bread Company is a wonderful choice for slightly more upscale lunch on campus.

The Bevier Cafe Address: Bevier Hall, Room 298 905 S. Goodwin Ave., Urbana Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.

A guide to lunch on campus would not be complete without the Bevier Cafe. The Bevier Cafe is particularly special to campus because it is a fully student-operated restaurant. Food science and human nutrition students are responsible for Bevier’s superb breakfast and lunch items, which are varied every day. Additionally, the Bevier Cafe gives dietetics and hospitality management students the opportunity to learn about the realworld functions and challenges in the food and hospitality industry. When I visited, I had chicken kiev with parsley and butter sauce served alongside a helping of very rich and creamy mashed potatoes. As far as cost, all of the delectable entrees are each priced around only $5. Also, the Bevier Cafe offers a 10 percent discount to students who wear their Illini blue and orange on Fridays.

MAKE-A-WISH INTO A REALITY

Make-A-Wish Illinois training session coming to Champaign

BY TINA COCHRAN AND CARLY GUBBINS

F

or many people, Make-A-Wish is probably best associated with the heartfelt television ads that feature kids, their families and sometimes celebrities. While this is neither a false nor altogether bad association, it is one that puts community members at a distance.

However, Champaign-Urbana and Make-AWish Illinois are giving community members a chance to get involved. Make-A-Wish is a nonprofit organization that works with integrity and is trusted in its mission and promises it keeps to the hopes and hearts of children and their families everywhere.

Champaign-Urbana is calling for community members to help make a child’s day the best day ever by becoming a Make-A-Wish volunteer, aka Wish Granter, by registering for Champaign’s free training session coming up in March. There are so many children whose dreams can become possible through the help of people who take time out of their lives to volunteer their services.

“Becoming a Wish Granter is a highly creative, unique volunteer assignment," said Janet Bantz Galvin, the community relations manager for Make-A-Wish Illinois. "The strength and inspiration that our volunteers gain from working with the wish of children and families has a lasting positive impact.”

All volunteers must over 21 years of age. For this specific training session, volunteers who are bilingual in English and Spanish are in high demand.

Here are some steps to get started: Step 1: Fill out and submit the volunteer application on the Make-A-Wish website.

Step 2: Complete the online training through the Make-A-Wish website.

Step 3: RSVP for the Champaign training session by March 10 by contacting Tonisha Daniel

at daniel@illinois.wish.org or 312-602-9413.

Step 4: Submit a reference and background check.

Step 5: Go to the training session, learn a lot and receive a confirmation email.

After these steps are completed, relax for about one to four weeks in the satisfaction that you took the first five steps toward making a child's life that much happier. All great things take time and patience. The final steps include a few more training sessions to prepare for the process necessary for making a child’s wish come true.

Patience and persistence are two things that Wish Granters need to possess. Making a wish come true is a process, a process of making a child’s dream into a reality and one of the happiest moments you and the child will never forget.

Volunteers are needed within this area to help

CATCHING UP WITH THE 92S

buzz sits down with Dan Durley of The 92s to discuss their debut album

BY LAUREN AGUIRRE

S

ince The 92s debut in 2011, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mixing up the local music scene with catchy, meaningful lyrics and exciting live shows. Somehow this is buzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first chance to sit down with frontman Dan Durley and learn more about the band. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably because he has been juggling school, promoting the band's latest release, Television Fuzz, and helping run buzz Magazine. All of that aside, we got the chance to sit down with Durley and discuss the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aspirations and latest release. The band will be celebrating the release of its debut album this Friday at in Urbana. Âťbuzz: Tell me about the 92s. What is your feel and sound? ÂťDan Durley: I call ourselves a rock band because I feel like we take a little bit from a lot of genres that are typically considered rock. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of noisy, but I also feel like our songs are pop songs at their core with a little bit of music theory nonsense in them. Some of the instrumentation is folk based; sometimes I whip out a mandolin instead of my guitar. It really is kind off all over the place, so I normally just call us a rock band. But our live shows are pretty fun and like I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;noisyâ&#x20AC;? is the word I always go back to. People are always singing along, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time. Âťbuzz: So your latest release, Television Fuzz, what was your writing process for this album? ÂťDD: Though I guess I still acted as the primary songwriter, the songwriting process on Television Fuzz was far more of a band effort, where the previous EPs were made by just myself and our producer Scot. I started writing the album in November 2012, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop writing until we went into the studio around June 4, 2013, so it was a very long process. I would write the songs on an acoustic guitar or mandolin, bring them to the band and then we would flesh them out from there. We really wanted to record in Pieholden Suite Sound in Chicago, because I like their gear and we liked some of the records that have come out of there, like Grandkids' Timeshare and

Santah's records. So we went to Kickstarter and got some funds to help us out, and we made it happen. We did three days of live tracking at Pieholden, like all four of us playing at the same time to a clicktrack, then an extra day of overdubs at Pieholden. We then spent about six weeks recording more things at our producer Scotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment, including vocals and all that good stuff. Âťbuzz: Would you say this record was a long time coming since your previous two EPs? ÂťDD: Yes, definitely! I have been making records in some capacity for the last six years, and I have never made a full-length with any band I have been apart of, so I just felt this was the time. I had enough songs to do it and the songs had their own arc that made them all come together, so I really wanted to do it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just the next step. You put out EPs, then you put out a full length. Everyone says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that anymore because it is not cost effectiveâ&#x20AC;? or whatever, and people put out singles and stuff, which is cool, but I just wanted the experience of putting out a full-length album and thinking about songs in terms of how they would fit on an album.

Even with our EPs, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of them too much in terms of an album. The first EP I thought about it a little bit, but you know, EPs are really collections of songs. Full-length records should be thematically whole, in my opinion. Âťbuzz: What was the inspiration behind Television Fuzz? ÂťDD: The lyrics and music relate to confusion and some sort of existential crisis. There's a lot of noise masking the melodies and stuff like that. Everyone comes to this point where they have two paths. You see one path as you are going forward: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get a 40-hour-a-week job, move to the city, then find a wife and move out into the country or whatever. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other side, and you can just figure everything out on your own and do your own thing for a little while without worrying about societal pressures, and both paths have consequences.

So those themes all went into the pot for this record. Âťbuzz: What can fans expect to hear on the record?

< $,#& You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to bare it all to get great beads at â&#x20AC;&#x2122;t idn e yd r Wh ng mo i !

I br eads? b

ÂťDD: The sound, to put it literally, it is a noisy pop-rock record with some experimental instrumentation. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some mellotron, some mandolin, some really wei rd, distorted organs, but the songs are still are based in a traditional four-piece rock band first and foremost. Âťbuzz: Where can fans pick up this release? ÂťDD: Well, they can come to the show on Friday and get one from us. We will be selling physical copies there for $10. We are also going to

be putting it out for free digitally on Tuesday.

If they want to grab it early, they can pick it up from us on Friday, but if they want to get it free, they can pick it up on Tuesday. We really just want to give people every opportunity to hear it. If they want to support us and buy it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic, but first and foremost I want as many people to hear it as possible.

12 Years A Slave. Used with permisson from Fox Searchlight Pictures

E

very year, people across the world gather around their televisions for three painstaking hours, all to watch fabulous stars parade to the stage to receive their Academy Awards. This year’s nominees for best picture range far and wide, from Jennifer Lawrence to George Clooney. Out of the 10 Best Picture nominees, how many have you actually gotten around to seeing? Well, now is your chance to catch up!

While American Hustle, a semi-true story set in the disco decade on con-man Irving Rosenfeld, has a lot of aesthetic appeal, it’s questionable whether it should really be nominated for Best Picture. Are its “good movie qualities” enough to win the title of Best Picture of the year?

The costumes are flashy, and the acting is slightly overdone. My main qualm is during the climax of the film, when the main characters momentarily realize they might be in over their heads.

After being quickly resolved, the possibility of any real danger vanishes, making all the overacting and glitzy costumes appear unworthy in the end.

However, where there is bad, there is good. The story of Her is a strange yet endearing one. Her tells the tale of a complex man, Theodore, who essentially falls in love with the advanced operating system installed on his computer, named Samantha. Samantha saves Theodore from solitude and from himself, drawing him out into the world once again. This seems counter-intuitive, which is exactly why I recommend seeing this movie to better understand the underlying concepts. Personally, I would applaud if this were to take first.

Realistically, I’d predict that this year’s Best Picture winner will be 12 Years a Slave, which tells the story of Solomon, a free black man who is abducted and forced into slavery during the pre-Civil War era. One admirable quality is the clear-eyed and unsentimental images that plague the movie. Unlike many slavery movies, 12 Years a Slave is deeply chilling without leaving you sobbing hysterically.
