Movie Review: Attack the Block

By Ash Valentine

Champaign emcee Sky just dropped his double album, Gr8sky, earlier this week. If you haven’t picked it up yet, check out our exclusive stream alongside the Music Staff’s top picks from the record.

Weezer’s eponymous debut (or The Blue Album, for those in the know) celebrated its 20th birthday over the weekend. It has been 20 years since Rivers Cuomo and co. made uncool totally cool, but the godfathers of normcore, their nerd-chic aesthetic and signature, straightforward garage pop has managed to remain relevant and culturally prominent for two decades now.

I was barely a year old when The Blue Album originally dropped and missed the initial furor and/or excitement over the release, but years later the album found me.

I was aimlessly browsing the CD section of my public library after school one afternoon when I noticed the cover. That album cover: an unimpressive, adynamic sheet of solid blue, foregrounded by the most averagelooking guys, fidgeting in their t-shirts and jeans. The tone of the image immediately resounded with my fifth grade self: “There’s nothing remarkable about these guys; they’re boring. I’m bored.” I decided before even listening that it was my new favorite record.

Conveniently, the album turned out to have content as cool as its presentation. Many of the tracks have personal meaning now: I watched the music videos for “Buddy Holly” and “Undone” at least 20 times a day all through that summer, memorizing the background crowd noise (“Hey man, you going to that party later?”) and laughing at the goofiness of the Fonz, although I had no idea who the Fonz was; at my first concert, a Relient K show with my mom, they covered “Surf Wax America” and for a few minutes, the associated shame dissipated and I sang along with every word; a brief stint drawing comics in middle school featured a character named Jonas who was constantly introducing himself; when I got my first laptop and downloaded Audacity, my first production was a terrible (really, really, terrible–I deleted the project without hesitation a day later) cover of “The World Has Turned And Left Me Here”; the hilarity and complete ecstasy when, after leaving the midnight premiere of “Inception,” the local college radio station began playing “Only in Dreams,” and everyone in the car played air bass for eight full minutes.

Uproxx’s Smoking Section published a feature on the making of Weezer’s iconic blue cover a few days ago.

The piece broke down the entire creative process, from Cuomo’s original desire to rip off the cover of a Beach Boys’ greatest hits record, to the label’s hesitation to put out anything that looked so bland, to music critics’ accusations that they were ripping off The Feelies’ album cover (a much cooler origin, and certainly the story they should have gone with). It’s hard to imagine “The Blue Album” in the same chronological context as Dookie, Illmatic and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (there’s a lot of great music entering its third decade right now), but Weezer managed to make lame work. Whether or not cruises are the next normcore craze, there are plenty of happy days ahead for the unforgettable Weezer.

END OF AN ERA

BY DANI WETT AND CARLY GUBBINS While many graduation ceremonies have already taken place, there are still more to come.

Tomorrow, the University’s commencement day will take place. The University will live-stream the event for those who are unable to attend.

Not everyone makes it to their college graduations, let alone their high school ones, so tomorrow is sure to be an exciting day for many students as they finally receive their diplomas that represent their many years of hard work and determination.

Many emotions come with graduations, whether they are kindergarten, middle school, high school or college ceremonies. Graduation is the ever-cliche end of a chapter in one’s life and the beginning of the next one, which can be happy, sad, scary and exciting things all at one time. Most of all, there is the feeling of knowing that they accomplished something that not everyone can; they stuck with it and made it to the finish line.

While many Illini – who are probably thinking, “Oh no! I have to be an adult now!” – gather tomorrow, some will be starting their careers, moving on to grad school or taking their next steps towards greatness.

Good luck to all classes of 2014! May happiness and success find you soon after the postgrad depression!

on the bus to grab nourishment for the coming weeks, I was about to sit down when things started moving and ended up awkwardly executing a flailing tumble into another guy's lap. I thought nothing of this mishap other than the usual crushing embarrassment and desire to dig a hole in the ground and never come out of it again, but after getting off and grabbing groceries, I realized at the checkout line that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket when I'd violated that poor man's personal bubble. There was nothing for it but to sorrowfully leave the groceries at the service desk, call MTD about the wallet and, as my I-Card was in the wallet, hope that the bus driver on the way back home would be merciful.

» Jimmy John’s: One late night at 2:30 A.M., I got a craving for some food.

Specifically, a vegetarian and chips from Jimmy John’s. I had cash on me, so I figured I’d order it and pay that way. I laid in bed, paying careful attention to any noise that could be a delivery car and knock on the door. After 3 A.M. had approched, I started to think it would never come, but still held on to a last sliver of hope that they wouldn’t throw away business like that. But, after an hour of waiting, I finally let myself drift off to sleep. My food was never going to come. I felt like that was the last nail in the coffin of the American Dream. If my gluttonous, American butt is denied sandwich delivery at 3 A.M., what’s the point in living in the free world?

MOVIE REVIEW

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

Will a die-hard Spidey fan stick with the series? +++,, PG-13

The Amazing Spider-Man. Photo used with permission from Crave Online Media.

BY RYAN NEIL

B

efore I get into this review, I feel the need to establish something right off the bat: I love Spider-Man. He’s been my favorite superhero since I was six years old. Everything about him, from his costume to his powers to his personality, struck a chord with me from a young age, and his secret identity of Peter Parker is a grounded character that I think anyone can identify with to some degree.

That said, it’s evident that I’m not exactly coming from an impartial background when reviewing this movie. I’ve loved basically all of the previous Spider-Man films, particularly the first two Sam Raimi movies that I grew up with. I even was able to find redeemable qualities in the much-panned Spider-Man 3 and, even though the 2012 reboot

of the series, The Amazing Spider-Man, was in principle a complete disrespect to those first three films, I have to admit that I still liked it.

When the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man was announced, I was worried. The marketing team really dropped the ball on the first Amazing Spider-Man by presenting trailers that were predominantly cut out of the final scenes of the film and gave away far too many plot points. This time around, the trailers didn’t do much better in that regard. From the get-go, nothing was left to be a surprise. The last shot of the entire movie is one of the most frequently shown clips in the trailers, so if moviegoers have seen any of the trailers for this movie, they’ve already seen the ending.

Disregarding shoddy marketing, how does the film hold up? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is actually a decent film, that in some ways improves on its predecessor. The film’s cast (pardon the pun) is amazing. Everyone is on his or her Agame here, particularly Andrew Garfield, who is perfectly cast as Peter Parker and Spider-Man. His chemistry with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy is endearing and genuine, and their relationship is one of the best facets of the film. Other standouts include Sally Field as Aunt May and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, who both deliver powerful performances. Interactions between the characters are charged with emotion without coming off as cliché, and it’s clear that direc-

tor Marc Webb feels comfortable with filming touching, human scenes. Webb also proves competent with the action sequences, which practically burst off the screen. The film has a vibrant color palette, and it’s put on show splendidly in these sequences of pure, unadulterated fun.

However, despite stellar performances and welldirected action sequences, the film is plagued with issues that prevent it from being a truly “good” film. The script is a jumbled mess, juggling so many cluttered subplots that none of them can be properly fleshed out. This problem particularly affects the villains, especially Jamie Foxx’s Electro. Foxx does the best he can with the material he’s been given, but the character is shockingly (again, pardon the pun) underwritten, leaving his character coming across as cheesy and one-dimensional. Other villains like Paul Giamatti’s Rhino and the Green Goblin are demoted to glorified cameos that serve to promote the next movie, rather than benefitting this one.

Therein lies my most significant issue with the current state of affairs of the Spider-Man series.

Each movie feels like its creators spent too much time and effort gearing up for its sequel, and not enough time thinking enough about making the current film the best it can be. Sony Pictures seems so concerned with keeping the film rights away from Marvel Studios that it will simply keep cranking out Spider-Man movies for the foreseeable future. I do believe that there are many talented people making these movies and, there are truly great elements in play here, but it feels like such a studio endeavor that their potential is wasted. Maybe, if Sony gives Webb and Co. more freedom next time rather than focusing them on a stream of sequels with no end in sight, we could have the best Spidey yet. But this one just isn’t it.

DANCING WITH THE PARKINSON’S COMMUNITY Yearly Krannert event blossoms into successful monthly program

BY ALEXIS CASATI

It

was no coincidence that Kate Kuper, a former professional dancer, accidentally attended an "informational meeting" one day in 2009. Kuper’s plan was to learn more about a yearly program called “Dance For People With Parkinson’s” but unintentionally attended the class itself instead.

On the other hand, Kuper’s current co-instructor knew exactly what she was attending. Marianne Jarvi, a former dance major at Brigham Young University, had expressed interest in working the class before she had attended that same day in 2009.

Before 2009, Kuper and Jarvi knew each other, as they were both involved in the dance program at the University and at that time had been working a class together. After attending the session, Kuper and Jarvi were offered an opportunity to make the Dance for PD program a monthly event.

In 2001, the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Brooklyn Parkinson Group created the official Dance for PD in Brooklyn, N.Y. Three years later, David Leventhal—a founding teacher of Dance for Parkinson’s—brought the first ever Dance for PD to

the CU area at the Krannert Art Center.

“In 2008, Kate Kuper and Marianne Jarvi attended a Dance for PD training workshop in Berkeley, Calif. to learn our approach and, in collaboration with the Krannert Center, started offering monthly classes on an on-going basis,” Leventhal said.

After finishing up training, Kuper and Jarvi officially started the program in 2009.

“Here in Champaign, at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, people with Parkinson’s disease, caregivers, friends and others have access to a free monthly class,” Kuper said.

Both Kuper and Jarvi used their experience to create a blossoming program. Kuper’s past experience as a professional dancer led her to Illinois, where she began teaching.

“Having been a professional choreographer and dancer, I migrated to being a teaching artist,” Kuper said. “I then became involved in creative dance and was hired by the University so that dance majors could learn the skills themselves.”

Jarvi began gaining an expertise in creative dance

at the age of four and has continued ever since. As Kuper became more involved with the creative side of dance, she ended up overlapping her skills with what Jarvi had already mastered.

“I taught creative dance for children at a studio in Utah,” Jarvi said. “I then moved to Champaign in 2008, where I began to work a university dance class with Kuper. We attended the Dance for Parkinson’s class in 2009 and started the program later that year.”

Jarvi’s creative aptitudes led her curiosity to invest in learning dance therapy. After moving to Champaign from Utah, Jarvi expressed her interest in the matter to Jan Erkert, the dance director at Illinois.

“I think the reason Jan approached me was because I had talked to her about dance therapy. I also have an interest in how dance can help people have more fulfilling lives,” Jarvi said.

Jarvi’s strong value for family led her to regularly visit her grandparents back home, and consequently miss the aspect of being there. She uses the program to make relationships within the

Parkinson’s community, allowing her love for the group to make her feel right at home.

“Having moved here being far from my family, this for me was a way to give back to the older generation,” Jarvi said. “I am a young mother with four kids. This gives me connections with the people we teach because they ask how my kids are, and I can ask them how their grandkids are.”

Building strong relationships amongst the community only makes the dancing more enjoyable.

Kuper and Jarvi use their creative skills and dance knowledge to put together routines for their class.

Kuper described the class as having “modern dance, ballet, tap, jazz, social dancing and original works” each used as methods. A key part to the class, she said, was live music, which is used “to develop an intense focus on the body.”

“When we get together, the music forms the theme of the class. It is important that it is live.

(The participants) move more freely when they have a connection with the music,” Jarvi said, agreeing with Kuper.

Finer Feelings celebrate debut album with release show

F

iner Feelings are a Champaign-based band composed of Chris Davies (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Lyke (drums). The band is playing a release show for its debut album Gemütlichkeit on Saturday, May 17 at Cowboy Monkey. Two other Illinois acts, Jared Bartman and Rebecca Rego & The Trainmen, will also be performing. Buzz sat down with the two-piece to discuss Gemütlichkeit, its release show and its latest cheap beer preference. »buzz: Excited for your show on Saturday at Cowboy Monkey? »Chris Davies: Yeah, we’re really excited about the bands we’re playing with. Rebecca Rego’s from here in town. Jared Bartman’s out of Peoria. He’s played a couple Pygmalions before.

He’s a little more eccentric folk. »PL: I think of Beirut when I listen to it. »buzz: Your new album title—what does it mean? »PL: It means “a cozy feeling.” The story behind that is: I found this picture that we used as the album cover, and it was the hands of the violinist, Fritz Kreisler. I did some research into him.

Apparently, he’s considered one of the best of all time at playing violin, which is pretty cool.

His style and the movement that he was associated with was the Gemütlichkeit movement. So,

I went and clicked on that Wikipedia page and, it took me to the definition, which was “a cozy feeling” and I was like “Oh, Finer Feelings... that kind of makes sense.” »buzz: The first thing I noticed, right when I started listening to the album, was that the bass really shined through. Did you (Chris) record most of the bass on this? »CD: We both played bass on it. Since it’s just the two of us, we try to fill everything in at the studio.

We kind of take turns messing around with that. »buzz: Did you make a conscious effort to make the bass shine through more or is that just how it turned out? »CD: I think it’s the mastering more than anything.

It was mixed a little hotter, and the guy who did the mastering—John Tubbs—we were told that the programs he uses kind of extenuate the bass. »PL: I like it though because the bass is really melodic, so I’m really glad. There are so many recordings where you can’t always hear the bass, and that always bums me out. »buzz: “Wolves,” the fourth track, is the first track that features some more instrumentation on it. How do you go about doing that live? Is it just the two of you? »PL: The live show’s kind of a completely different animal. It’s just guitar and drums and vocals live. I think with the recordings, we kind of fill it out more. Like if Chris writes a song, or

I write a song, we have things in our head that we can’t really do live. »CD: The trumpet and violin were done by Alleya Weibel—she’s a student here. I had those instruments in mind, but I didn’t write anything because I don’t play those instruments. We just brought her in and were like, “Hey, would you want to play?” And she was like, “Yeah, that sounds cool.” She came up with the lines and ideas and just nailed it. We’re so happy with what she did. »buzz: On “This Time,” is that you (Patrick) singing? »PL: Yeah... »CD: He’s a little embarrassed by it. That’s the only one he’s sung so far. »PL: That’s the song that we play during the show that everyone can use to go to the bathroom or go to the bar and get their drink (laughs). »buzz: Are you bashful with your singing? Do you like to sing? »CD: Bashful is a good word. »PL: It’s something I really want to do, but haven’t quite got the nerve. I want to contribute songs and stuff but yeah, it’s a little nerveracking for me. Especially when we recorded it.

I wasn’t even holding a guitar when we did the vocals for it. It was just me standing by a mic with people staring at me.

»CD: It got cut out, but we started recording a little bit earlier and you can hear me in the background going “You can do it!” or something along those lines. »PL: Yeah, the very last part of the song was “You did it!” but it got cut out. »buzz: That’s hilarious. Are you guys still drinking the cheap beer? »CD: (laughs) Yeah, Genesee is our beer of choice. It’s a cheap beer, but it’s obscure. So it’s like the hipster version of cheap beer, I guess. »PL: We moved up from the Walgreens beer because that’s like a one can hangover. »CD: It tastes like a hangover. »PL: You feel the headache before you’re done drinking the first can. We had to move on from that. »CD: When we first started out, (Patrick) was in this house that had, literally, dirt on the floor.

I couldn’t stand up all the way. When we moved out of there, we decided we were done with Big Flats. We tried some other beers out until we found Genesee and we were like, “This is it.

This is the one!”

Catch Finer Feelings this Saturday night at Cowboy Monkey. The show starts at 10 p.m. and costs $5 at the door.

COMMUNITY

A GREENER GREEN STREET

A group of students proposed to make Green car-free

BY NATALIE CZARNOTA

I

mpatient drivers, crowded sidewalks and frustrated bikers can all be used to describe Green Street. A group of students, however, has envisioned a plan to reduce chaos on the busy street: a proposal called Car(e)free Green Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we have a four-way crossing street already speaks to the congestion of Green Street. I think this (plan) would be greatly beneficial for the community,â&#x20AC;? University junior Monika Dlugopolski said.

The idea is to create a car-free zone between Wright and Fourth streets. Many other college campuses and towns offer such an area with great success, such as State Street in Madison, Wis. and Pearl Street in Boulder, Colo.

The area would be open to pedestrians, allowing room for open storefront areas and community events, such as a farmers' market. This would encourage the community to help out the local economy by supporting local farms and businesses. The space would also provide an appeal for pedestrians to get together and interact with their community and its members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is more than a possibility, and it can be easily done. Green Street is already a popular destination for students and local residents alike,â&#x20AC;? Dlugopolski said.

The intersection of Green and Fourth streets is envisioned as the hub of the zone, where there would be a community message board for community members to interact with one another by posting things, like performances, sales and jobs notifications. Businesses would be able to post short-term sales for shoppers who know particular terms during a certain day and time frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would give businesses more input in the community, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly only students who post on the community board on the Quad,â&#x20AC;? freshman Valerie Medrano said.

The increased space would also allow for an outdoor seating and gaming area. This would greatly benefit the businesses on Green Street by its appeal to customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this would be very beneficial for campus and businesses because it would provide a

6 buzz May 16-22, 2014

space or micro-environment that would create a place where students and community members can enjoy (relaxing),â&#x20AC;? Dlugopolski said.

In addition, bikers on Green Street could benefit from a car-free zone. Currently, there is confusion among bikers, cars and pedestrians, as there is little to no room for people to bike. Car(e)free Greet Street has a plan to fix that.

By clearing off space on the street through eliminating cars, there will be plenty of room for designated bike lanes and increased parking for bikes. This would accommodate one of the most popular forms of transportation on the campus and support the cycling community by creating a safer environment for biking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always afraid that a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to hit me when I ride my bike down Green Street because there are some crazy drivers out there, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on the side walk,â&#x20AC;? Medrano said.

Not only will pedestrians and bikers benefit from a car-free zone, but those who drive cars would actually be better off as well. Therefore, everyone would benefit in the end. Green Street is often difficult to navigate through, with traffic being the norm and increased caution being a necessity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During school, Green Street can be pretty crowded with students, so drivers must always be cautious in case there is that one student who wants to make a dash across the street when the crosswalk light is done,â&#x20AC;? junior Tricia Margis said.

In the proposal, detour routes surrounding Green Street were carefully selected, and traffic flow was planned out as well. This allows for less congestion and better parking situations for drivers. There is often traffic on Green Street with the confusion that comes with trying to find parking. However, there is a plan to make parking easier. Street parking would be removed on the surrounding streets and drivers would be directed to use parking lots and garages, eliminating traffic caused by cars trying to parallel park on the street. Overall, the reduction of traffic alone would be a reason to go through with the plan, especially during the

winter, when pedestrians and bikers would not benefit much from it.

If needed, the cross streets could be occasionally opened up to cars, such as on move-in and move-out days and during certain times of the day for delivery trucks to make pick-ups and drop-offs without disrupting the flow of traffic.

To make this proposal a reality, a petition was started to redirect cars off of the suggested area.

The petition already has hundreds of signatures.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I signed the petition because I want to make this campus the best it can be. I think the proposal would make the University above other universities by placing innovation as a central part of the campus,â&#x20AC;? Dlugopolski said.

To sign the petition, a link can be found on the website for the proposal, http://carefreegreenst. strikingly.com, as well as more information about the vision of a car free zone, complete with pictures of the vision proposed.

ALLITERATION CELEBRATION

buzz sits down with Seven Saints GM Anne Clark ahead of their seventh anniversary extravaganza

In

honor of seven glorious years of business, Seven Saints kicked off their seventh anniversary this past weekend with a special brew created by Triptych Brewing Company, a favorite slider trio platter for $7.77, and other celebratory specials. Opening in 2007, the establishment has become a popular destination to dine and drink in downtown Champaign. With its dark lighting, rustic wooden booths, velvet drapes and extravagant décor, Seven Saints is a sleek, slightly modernized, yet cozy local bar known for its impressive array of liquors, wines and drafts. On top of a prime drink selection, Seven Saints offers delicious classic bar food. From the country fried chicken salad to their signature sliders, it’s easily a top pick among the plethora of bars in the CU area.

On the eve of their seventh anniversary, we sat down for an interview with General Manager Anne Clark, who has been working at Seven Saints since 2009. »buzz: Congratulations on seven years! What is the restaurant doing to commemorate this special anniversary? »Anne Clark: Thank you! So we have a couple things we’re doing this weekend. One is the slider trio, where patrons get to vote on Facebook and decide the top three sliders that will be featured on the platter. The two sliders are the blackjack and the tropical stack, so there is still debate on the third, which, as of right now, is between the buffalo chicken or California turkey slider.

For our special anniversary brew, we col-

laborated with Triptych Brewing Company and brewed the beer almost a month ago. Because it is a bigger and more robust beer, it was a longer process. It was released from the brewery a couple days ago, and we just put it on tap today. »buzz: What makes this anniversary so special? »AC: The seventh anniversary is just a really interesting one because of the namesake and the connotation that it’s a lucky number. It’s just a great time to show our appreciation to our customers who make Seven Saints so great and give the staff the opportunity to feel proud about their work environment. Every anniversary is important, but so is every day. We want to keep that consistency of amazing service and a knowledgeable, friendly staff. »buzz: Where did the name Seven Saints come from? »AC: The name is based on a collaborative effort of the owners. They knew that they wanted a name that would draw attention and fit with the polished and decorative atmosphere. The alliterative quality and that this restaurant was the seventh establishment that the owners had opened is where the name Seven Saints emerged from. »buzz: What was Seven Saints like when you first started working here? »AC: There has been consistent growth throughout the years. Numerically, we’ve grown marginally. But have we grown in a sense where we have upheld the consistent and loyal patronage? Absolutely. Special nights like Whiskey Wednesdays had a pretty loyal following back in the day, but it isn’t anything like it is now. We have double the staff on Wednesdays to accommodate for the demand. »buzz: Has there been clientele that have been

regularly coming here throughout the years? »AC: Absolutely. We have a good following of locals and regulars that come on a consistent basis. Since I also served and bartended here— back in the earlier days—I was able to grow those relationships early on. Some of the greatest people I’ve met in town have been through relationships that have been made through Seven Saints. What’s great is creating and fostering those long-term relationships every day. »buzz: What challenges have you faced throughout the years as a restaurant? »AC: Adjusting to the change of seasons and the consistency of turnover has definitely been one of the bigger challenges. By hiring a lot of students who are associated with the University when semesters end, we face a big turnover and that really affects the way the performance goes.

However, we have always managed to have a strong core even through these transitional periods while the new staff becomes acclimated. »buzz: How has downtown Champaign changed since you’ve opened? »AC: The city of Champaign has done a good job attracting more visitors. Now, downtown is also a destination for those who are visiting the University. The growth of small businesses is notable and makes Champaign unique to people from out of town. »buzz: How did the Thesis Week tradition (students receive a $10 gift card upon hanging their thesis from the bar) start, and any other traditions that are worth mentioning? »AC: Thesis Week was an attempt to foster our relationship with the community, and it’s grown

into a great tradition. We have other, smaller traditions that revolve around holidays. Our New Years event is another notable tradition where lots of people come out and a have a good time. »buzz: Looking into the future, do you plan to change up the restaurant at all? »AC: Not any major changes. We don’t want to change the things that are working well, but by the same token it is important to change up and refresh things every couple of months. For our very loyal and local regulars, putting something that is new and different on the menu gives them the opportunity to try something else. »buzz: What goals do you have for the next seven years? »AC: Operationally, there are always things that I can tweak and improve on to make the business run smoother. From a general perspective, I want to maintain the excellent level of service we pride ourselves on and the relationships we have made with the community. »buzz: What’s your favorite drink and food item on the menu? »AC: That’s a tough one. My favorites change seasonally. Right now, my favorite food on the menu is probably the summer salmon salad and favorite drink changes every day. I love whiskey, and I’m always looking for a beer that really satisfies what I’m looking to taste at the time.

Yesterday, it was our new Triptych brew. »buzz: Thanks for sitting down with me, and congratulations again on the special anniversary, Seven Saints is located at 32 E. Chester St. in Champaign and can be contacted by phone at 351-7775.
