Pygmalion may be a ways away, but fear not — ILLIAC has concert goers covered for this spring season.
What does CU sound like? If you're a freqent reader of "buzz" (thanks!), you already know that CU boasts a vibrant and exciting local community of artists, musicians, foodies, dreamers, entrepreneurs, eccentric personalities and so much more. The music scene is undeniably massive, yet tightly intertwined. There are so many great acts in CU, when we decided to put together a "buzz"-sponsored show, we realized it was impossible to narrow down all our favorite local bands to reasonably fit a bill: so we put the decision up to you guys, our readers. When The Social Alcohol Band, The 92s, Cheef and Decadents take the stage at Highdive on Monday night, they'll have earned their spots by their talent and charm, but also thanks to their many supportive fans. If you're unfamiliar with any of the acts performing, we've provided brief introductions to each band on page seven. It's a strong lineup, and one that I hope represents the tastes of our readership and the sound of CU. I've heard some other great sounds coming out of CU this week, too. As you probably already know, an initial portion of this year's Pygmalion Music Festival lineup was announced Monday. This will be the festival's 10th year running, and those of us expecting big things were psyched for the announcement that former Urbana residents, Polyvinyl Records signees and seminal emo band American Football will be reuniting to help headline the festival. Pygmalion is only one of two announced reunion shows — the other, at New York City's Webster Hall, sold out 30 seconds after going on sale – so it might not be a bad idea to hover anxiously over your computer to claim your three-day pass the moment they go on sale today at 11 a.m. (I already bought my wristband during last week's blind sale, suckers). The festival lineup (so far) also includes CHVRCHES, Panda Bear, Tycho, Mutual Benefit, Real Estate, Deafheaven, Sun Kil Moon, Speedy Ortiz, Ex Hex, Wooden Shjips, and authors Peter Orner, Audrey Petty, Jamaal May, Jennifer Percy and Richard Siken. It's going to be a good time, for sure. A couple articles did not fit in print this week, but they will be online. The first is a profile by Gianna Marzetta of Kelly Miller Circus ringmaster John Moss III. Moss has worked with the Kelly Miller Circus since its founding by the Ringling Brothers in 2007. The second article is a review of South Korean Caffe Bene by Shalayne Pulia. The sweets and treats cafe (or more colloquially, "sugar deli") is gradually expanding its franchise across the U.S., with the Urbana location joining New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. Both articles are posted online now, so after you finish this issue, head over to http://readbuzz. com to check them out.

of growing up: Normally, things remain at a steady to rapid pace in my daily life. I like to stay busy and can't stand having idle hands for too long. For one, it makes me appreciate those squeezes of time that allow for unplanned shenanigans and dipping into whimsy. However, sometimes late at night I'll get home from work after being gone for 14 hours of running around with various responsibilities and sit on the edge of my bed for a moment. In this indefinite period of sitting, I'll stare at my feet and sometimes survey the mess that is my room, wondering how I got there, and how I'll need to keep moving forward. Lately when this occurs, the weight of the future seems much heavier and sooner, and I have a low panic set in. However, every once in a blue moon, the anxiety will lay at bay and instead I'll feel an odd sense of solace: everything will somehow work out. Though this may not necessarily come to be, I'll take this minor consolation prize, even if it's just a metaphorical placebo. Maybe that's what getting older is.

 The job interview environment: From the bland, generic dialogue to the nauseatingly stiff yet weirdly cheery demeanor that everyone must adopt, the job interview environment is detestable. We've all undergone the ritual several times, which basically boils down to putting on a fancy costume and doing a merry dance of discussing prior experience and answering repetitive questions in front of some poker-faced judges a la "American Idol," hoping that they will decide to casually toss one a means to pay for basic living expenses. The group at my interview today also included one dude who looked like he was about to fall asleep or else had some vaguely menacing, through-the-eyelids glare going on. Keep glaring, man. I’ll see you when I start next week.

Âť Luck o' the Bella: This week I found seven lucky pennies. Yes, SEVEN. My friends always make fun of me when I awkwardly stop mid-conversation to turn around, bend down (and probably expose my butt crack) and grab those financially worthless things. I guess I don't blame them, but why wouldn't you pick up a lucky penny? IT'S LUCKY! To say the least, this past week has been quite successful for me. I suggest that next time you see a penny, tails up, that you throw it and make it heads up for someone else. Spread the luck, y'all!

As
spring returns in full bloom, one of CU’s best out-of-this world events reoccurs. Led by David Leake, president of the organization, Champaign-Urbana Astronomical Society’s (CUAS) dark-sky observing has been an annual night festivity for about four to five years and begins its take off again this month. “Looking through a telescope for the first time can be a very exciting experience, but knowing what you are looking for can enhance the experience,” Leake said. “It’s amazing to barely move the eyepiece, and go from galaxy to galaxy.” Being so far away from the downtown areas makes Middlefork Forest Preserve the ideal place for viewing celestial bodies. Official measurements have also shown that Middlefork is far enough away from the downtown area to avoid most light pollution, making it one of the darkest spots in the CU area at night. CUAS works closely with the Middlefork Forest Preserve to ensure that there are no conflicting events. “I always look forward to visiting the Middle Fork Forest Preserve because of the good people and the dark skies,” Leake said. “You don’t realize how dark a sky can be until you get away from the city lights. Cities need to be lit, but many of our lights shine up into the sky, and that’s wasted energy. To me,

it’s like taking a lawn sprinkler to the end of your driveway and watering the street! No one would do that since it’s a waste of resources, but we do that with our lighting all of the time.” April is one of the best times to view celestial bodies because according to Leake, it is neither too hot nor too cold. Any later, and mosquitoes could pose as a deterrent for guests, as June has longer days than nights and leaving for less time to view celestial objects. CUAS also pays close attention to the moon phases in order to avoid a full moon. Too much light can make it more difficult to view celestial objects. “Spring is ripe for galaxies,” Leake said. “For something a ‘little closer’ we will also have Jupiter, Mars and later Saturn in the sky. Mars was closest to our earth about a week ago and, of course, anything close looks large, so I’m anxious to check out Mars, too!” CUAS will be leading the group at 8 p.m. in the activity center north of the campground for a presentation on what to look for when trying to find celestial objects in the night sky. After the presentation, the group will walk over to the campground, but camping is not required. Every member of CUAS is willing to help aspiring astronomers observe the celestial bodies that will be visible April 26.

GEARING UP FOR A GOOD CAUSE Champaign Cycle pedals toward annual bike sale BY LAUREN EIDEN
A
bicycle is a staple item to have in any person’s garage. Yet, there is no reason to go out and pay full price for a new bike when you can buy one that is guaranteed to be in good condition and gives its profits to a good cause. Champaign Cycle is hosting its Fifth Annual Community Used Bike Sale on May 3 to benefit Habitat for Humanity. From April 23 through 30, people are able to bring their old bikes into the shop and either donate or sell their bikes. If someone decides to donate their bike, all the proceeds from the bike will go to Habitat for Humanity. If a person decides to sell his or her bike, 20 percent of the earnings will go to Habitat for Humanity, and the rest will be given to the person who brought in the bike. Champaign Cycle does not keep any of the profit. “We will check them in, kind of check them out and give them an idea of what they might be worth. We try to give people realistic expectations. Plus, most people don’t have any clue what their bikes are worth,” Champaign Cycle employee John Bryniarski said. According to Bryniarski, the shop averages about $4,000 in donations every year and, some years, has raised as much as $6,000. Champaign Cycle also averages 100 to 150 donated bikes every year and sells about 90 percent of the bikes. “There’s always about 10 or 15 bikes that don’t sell because they’re too expensive or too weird or not in good enough shape. But for the most
part, they sell and for the most part, people get a good deal on a bike that they know has at least been looked at by a bike shop,” Bryniarski said. In order to make sure that the bicycles people donate are ready and safe to be sold, a Champaign Cycle employee will review each bike before the sale takes place. Every bike must be able to hold air and have working brakes and gears. There is also a list that the employee checks off during an inspection that covers other important parts of the bike. Bikes can be repaired before being sold, but money for repairs will be taken out of the seller’s profit. Any bikes not in safe conditions will not be accepted. This is also the time that the employee and bike owner discuss the value of the bicycle. “We’ll sell anything, and ideally, the bikes that do better at the sale are bikes you would find from a bike shop and not from a department store,” Bryniarski said. “Then, we sell a lot of kids’ bikes at it because kids can outgrow a bike in a year. So, I think we’ve had some people who sell their previous bike and get their next one there.” Anyone interested in donating a bike is encouraged to email Champaign Cycle at usedbikesale@champaigncycle.com in order to set up a time to drop off and inspect the bike and have any questions answered. Sellers will also be able to set the final price, though employees will recommend the appropriate amount. Once the Community Used Bike Sale comes

around, all the work and time spent preparing pays off. The store will open at its usual time, 10 a.m., and shoppers will be able to look around at all the used bikes and see the checklists that the employees filled out on each one. “My favorite thing about it is that it’s the busiest day at the shop,” Bryniarski said. “In the first couple hours of the sale, there’s just this kind of feeding frenzy of bicycles just lined up going out, and it’s kind of exciting to see all these bikes going out and potentially getting back on the road.” Another location that is now ready to get more bikes out on the road in Champaign Cycle’s new
store, located at 110 S. Race St. in downtown Urbana. “It’s a little smaller shop, a little bit more commuter and entry-level focused. So, a lot of our higher-end bikes are still at the Champaign location. But, it’s there to serve the community of Urbana with a shop a little more centrally located,” Bryniarski said. The new location opened on March 15 and just had its official grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony on April 9. Whether you are looking for a new (or used) bike, a way to be philanthropic or simply check out a newly-opened local store, Champaign Cycle has you covered.

THE PATH TO POWERFUL PROTEIN
ARC instructional cooking classes bring nutrition to the forefront BY JONNA NEWBERRY
If
you have ever wanted to gain muscle mass or feel full longer, then you have probably heard or been told that protein is what you need. Proteins are made up of amino acids. While we can produced 14 of the 22 amino acids required by our body, there are 8 that are essential and must come from food. Though we all know the usual protein-packed suspects like poultry and beef, I recently attended the “Lean and Mean Protein” class at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) instructional kitchen and found out that meat is not the only way to obtain protein in a diet. The ARC’s instructional kitchen serves as the home to many “healthy option” cooking classes. These classes are led by student instructors who major in Dietetics and have interests in food science, nutrition and other fields related to healthy eating. Over the course of this past semester, there were healthy option classes on how to make
less fatty pizzas, gluten-free dishes and lean protein based dishes. Further, all these classes have recipes that are centered on cooking on a budget, on-the-go or with limited equipment and are also open to any level of cooking experience. My “Powerful Protein” class was led by Laura Cortes, a junior studying Neuroscience, who is interested in neuroscience research related to nutrition. She is also a member of the University bodybuilding club and has a personal interest in protein diets and protein consumption. Her job was to help guide the participants and facilitate discussion about proteins. She was very knowledgeable and personable. First, all the participants get copies of the recipes for the night. One of the good things about the class is that they aim to give you a full day worth of meals, with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert. If you want to interchange
the recipes for each meal (breakfast for dinner, anyone?), they work that way, too. Each class operates in a group cooking format class. We were split into four groups of three people and each assigned one of the recipes to make for everyone in the class. The ingredients were delightfully fresh, and the class was very hands on and engaging. Also, since all levels of cooking are welcome, the group cooking class aspect flowed nicely as all the group members helped each other. The first recipe was a quinoa and egg scramble with spinach. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a popular health food out on the market, and the proteinpacked whole grain is definitely worth checking out. Eggs provide additional protein and spinach is a great source of iron, making the scramble a nutrient-packed meal to start off your day. The second dish was a Mediterranean tuna salad filled with tuna, tomatoes, great northern
beans, lemon, parsley, capers and garlic. With no cooking is required, the salad is perfect for students with limited access to a kitchen, since all you need is a bowl to toss all the ingredients together. The tuna is great for protein and also has omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats with antiinflammatory properties. Great northern beans have a bit of a neutral flavor but are packed with protein and fiber, making you feel more full. The third savory dish was a caprese pasta. A twist on the popular caprese salad recipe, this recipe featured the traditional tomatoes, mozzarella (part-skim used for this recipe) and basil. On top of that, the pasta part of the recipe had chicken breast, spinach and whole grain pasta (penne pasta works too). Most people dieting are afraid of pasta because of the amount of carbohydrates yet, they aren’t just empty carbs. Read the rest of the article at http://readbuzz.com. April 25 - May 1, 2014 buzz 5

BUZZ FRIDAY APRIL 25 this same size always uzzcorp hadnote...keep a chance to sit down with actors Christopher Mintz-Plasse (“Superbad,” 1 X Dave 5.417 “Kick-Ass”), Franco (“21 Jump Street”), 1/8th page all starring in the upcomand Jerrod Carmichael, ing comedy “Neighbors,” directed by Nicholas Stoller and also starring Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Zac Efron. The film’s plot revolves around a married couple (Rogen, Byrne) that moves into a new house with their baby. Soon after they settle in, a college fraternity moves in next-door and proceeds to mercilessly destroy the peace and solitude the couple was seeking with obnoxious levels of noise and debauchery. The couple and the frat eventually come to blows in a comic tale that, while delivering the signature Seth Rogen blend of all-out laughter in between grimaces, also juxtaposes the parents’ nostalgia for their youth with the frat president’s (Efron) fears of impending adulthood. What follows below is an abridged version of the Q&A. For the full Q&A and video interview, featuring the actors’ takes on subjects as diverse as Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s musical talent, fake joints and homoeroticism on set, check out the extended cut on readbuzz.com.

parties…and we all play brothers in the fraternity. buzz: Chris and Dave, you acted in “Fright Night” together. Could you tell us more about your relationship? Dave Franco: I actually did one day of filming on “Superbad” with Chris, and then we fell in love doing “Fright Night.” buzz: Jerrod, you’ve been a stand-up comedian for a while, is “Neighbors” your first film? Carmichael: Yeah, this was my first film and it was fun…I hope that other films can match how much fun we had. I keep asking Dave if other films are like this. Franco: I keep telling him they aren’t. (Laughs) buzz: How much of an opportunity did you all have to improvise in your lines? Carmichael: We all got to improvise enough; Nick Stoller is an amazing director and he allows enough freedom on the set for us to make up a few lines. Franco: It does start with a solid script. Honestly, for the first two takes we’d do it exactly as it was written, then from there we just went crazy and saw what happened. buzz: Do any of you have dream roles you’d like to play as actors? Christopher Mintz-Plasse: I just enjoy making movies with the people I love and respect; that’s what I look for first. Honestly I’d say I just like making movies with my friends. I’m in a band and I use my creative energy to write songs. I wouldn’t take a miserable acting job to make “art”; I’m not that guy.
buzz: Jerrod, could you tell us about the transition from stand-up to film? What was different? Carmichael: The biggest difference is the awareness of people in the room, because in stand-up, it’s a show and everything is fair game. I could talk to the person holding the camera right now… but in film, I hear they don’t like that. (Laughs)… On the first day, Nick Stoller just gave me a microphone and told me “Riff on everything happening in this scene!” It was a lot of pressure but acting is fun, and there’s an element of acting in stand-up in which you channel a specific mood and tone, so it was a fun transition. buzz: How did you audition for your parts? Mintz-Plasse: I was at a buddy’s engagement party in Los Angeles and Evan Goldberg, one of the producers and writers, was there. We were having drinks and he asked me “Hey, we’re making a movie and there are frat kids in it, do you want be in it?” So I replied “Yeah,” and that was my audition. Franco: I had a meeting with the producers and… What I love about those guys was that originally, for my character there was really nothing to do on the script, and I told them that they didn’t need me as they could get anyone to do that part, so they decided to talk through my role and see how we could expand it. Two days later, they sent me a completely new draft with all the changes we talked about and that’s what makes them the best producers ever.

Sound of CU takes over the Highdive SEAN NEUMANN
B
uzz is hosting an all-local show at the HighDive this Monday night in downtown Champaign. The bill for the show was decided on through a voting-based contest in which the bands’ fans and friends were called upon to help decide who would play the showcase. The 92s, Cheef, Decadents, and The Social Alcohol Band received the most votes and will be featured at Monday’s event. The Social Alcohol Band, who is “headlining” the event, is a five-piece cover band that hails from Delta Tau Delta, a fraternity on campus. If the band’s Frattle of the Band’s set list is any indication, audience members will hear songs like The Fratellis’ “Chelsea Dagger,” OAR’s “Love and
Memories,” and A-ha’s “Take on Me.” If you arrive early, you may catch a whiff of Cheef, Decadents and The 92s. The local bands will be performing before the highly anticipated headliners take the stage later in the night to presumably rip a face-melting solo or two. The crowd will also likely receive an extra comedy act during The Social Alcohol Band’s set as well: according to the band’s YouTube page, they also have a member credited for performing stand-up comedy during the band's live performances. If you’re looking to rock out and laugh Monday night, Sound of CU is the place for you. The event starts at 8 p.m. and costs $3 at the door.
THE CHOIR COMES TO CU Dan Mariska and the Boys Choir plays Error Records ANWEN PARROTT
S
ometimes it’s the little things in life that get you down – not the serious breakups or life changes, nothing that you could pinpoint on a timeline, but rather the tired routines and the people who gradually start to bum you out. This is what Dan Mariska considers in his most recent album, the relatable and aptly titled “Bummer Songs.” After touring intermittently for most of the year, Mariska will bring his thoughtful, melancholic music to Champaign for the first time, playing with The 92s, Single Player and Finer Feelings at Error Records on April 26. buzz: How has tour been so far? Dan Mariska: Great! We’re not on the road right now, but we released our album in December and since then, we’ve done two weeks in January up to New York and back to Minneapolis, where we’re from. Last month in March, we did a week with our friends See Through Dresses from Omaha, Neb. We’ve been doing one-off shows here and there and then starting on the week of April 20, we’re going out for a week and playing in Wisconsin, Chicago, Grand Rapids and Champaign. buzz: When you’re traveling from town-to-town over the course of a few days, it must get pretty tiring. How do you make it manageable and fun? DM: Well, it’s always fun. We have mostly just been playing with friends of ours, and if they’re not people that we know, then it’s friends of friends. We haven’t found ourselves in a situation where we didn’t know anyone in any of the

cities. Going from city-to-city is nice, you get to see people that you don’t get to see all the time. And traveling is always good. It’s good to get out of town and see other places, especially for music. buzz: That must be nice playing with so many friends on tour. I’m sure it makes for a much easier adjustment to different venues and towns. DM: Yeah, it becomes a small community of musicians once you kind of get to the level that we do, the regional and national independent touring circuit bands. It’s like 99 percent word-of-mouth booking, like in the case of Champaign. We play in Springfield at The Black Sheep Cafe, and that’s how we got connected with Single Player, The 92s and Error Records. buzz: Do you often perform with a full backing band? Or is it usually just you? DM: I do both. But since we’ve released the album, it’s been mostly the band. I don’t think I’ve played a solo set this year yet, actually. buzz: Do you prefer playing with a band? DM: I think people might prefer to watch it. It’s a little more high energy. But doing solo shows can be great, too. When I play by myself, it either goes terribly or it goes really well. There’s no in between. But with the band, everybody’s there, and they’re all great. It’s really relaxed and just like we’re hanging out and playing music. buzz: Are a lot of your close friends in the band? Or are they mainly people that you know through music? DM: They’re my close friends, whom I know through music. They’re all really great Minneapolis musicians. They all have their own
projects as well. Nick Costa (guitar) and Andy Sanford (bass) have a band called The Person & The People and Kevin, our drummer, has a band called The Crash Bandits. buzz: Could you tell me a bit about your most recent release, “Bummer Songs”? DM: We recorded it at my friend’s home studio in Minneapolis. It was recorded May and June, I think. Last spring, sometime. It is a 12” pink-colored vinyl with hand screen-printed artwork that my friend Alex Brown does in his basement in Omaha, Neb. It’s 10 songs, mostly written over the year and a half before that. I’d send our producer Knol Tate a batch of demos, and he’d listen to them and we’d just talk about the ones we liked and the ones which sucked. I sent him one file that was just titled “Bummer Songs,” and we thought it was funny. It just kind of became the name of the album. It also helps to wrap up the writing process too because some of it’s just about being angry at things, kind of like a tongue-in-cheek thing. buzz: You mentioned that the album addresses some sad, angry topics. DM: It would be bummer song topics, yes. There’s a song called “Getting Down With the Frown.” buzz: Does a lot of your music embody a similar tone? DM: Probably yes and no. “Bummer Songs” is about where I’m at in my life and certain things that have been happening. Like having a shitty job and doing things that you don’t always want to do. And those people that you know who care about stupid things like money, and people that
you know who take things too seriously. It’s kind of about growing up and all those things put together. If that made any sense. buzz: Are you looking forward to playing in Champaign? DM: Yeah. Never played in Champaign, never been to Champaign. But Sean (Neumann) and Dan (Durley) have both been very helpful with setting up the show, and I’ve only heard good things about Error Records. I’m excited. I really like playing in record stores, too, especially because I really like records on vinyl. In record stores, people are more in the mood to look at our record and talk about the piece of vinyl. I tend to like it better than playing at a club, where sometimes — not always — people just want to go and drink beer and if a band is there too, that’s cool I guess. buzz: I could see that. It’s different playing in a place where music is the focus. DM: It’s cool because a lot more people come up and talk to us about the actual record on vinyl when we play in record stores — not that they never do when we play in clubs, there are a lot of awesome clubs as well. buzz: After this tour, what’s next for you guys? DM: We have a few one off shows into the summer, but that’s about as far as we’re booked. We’ll probably start some new recordings relatively soon and then start booking for the fall, the next big tour season. Catch Dan Mariska and the Boys Choir this Saturday at Error Records with The 92s, Single Player and Finer Feelings. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and costs $5. April 25- May 1, 2014 buzz 7
