Get to Know: Park Chan-Wook by Kaitlin Penn

The acclaimed dance-punk duo is back with their first record in 10 years. See how it stacks up against their limited but impressive catalog from yesteryear.

David Bazan performed in Urbana for the umpteenth time last Friday evening. It was my fourth time seeing Dave and perhaps the most surreal performance I’ve seen from him so far. Dave is always talkative and cordial, but he spoke surprisingly candidly Friday. When an audience member asked about his reaction to reviews and his song “Selling Advertising,” he compared the tastemaker status and pretentiousness of music publication Pitchfork to an abusive lover: “They’re great in bed, but they’ll also give you a black eye.” He joked, in a tone that barely attempted to veil authentic frustrations and insecurities, that soulmates are a complete illusion (“compatibility is a fucking lie”). He pondered his father’s turn from Pentecostalism to Presbyterianism, confessed that his current tour and recent musical output are motivated chiefly by pressing financial circumstances, and confided in us his own insecurities about his music (“I think the new stuff is cool, but you guys could hear it and laugh at this dumb, old guy”). Dave is softening, though. That was what made the show so surreal—the realization that I have perceived a noticeable change in him over the five or six years I have been going to his shows. In the back of my mind, I had always taken the unchanging voices of Dave and any other musician or other public figure as a given: a presumption likely made with such ease due to the relatively short amount of my life I have spent following and seeing bands perform live (if I had thought of it, I could have asked one of the countless yuppies seeing Dave with me Friday—does no one under 30 listen to Pedro the Lion anymore?). But I started wondering how and why Dave has been changing each time I see him, when it occurred to me that I wasn’t sure why I go to see him every time he’s in town (or any band I like, really). It isn’t like each time I see him (or any other band) I am expecting a new or different experience. Whether playing in support of a new record, playing through an old record (holy shit, Control is so fucking dope live) or playing acoustic for me and a bunch of people who pay taxes and have mortgages and shit, Dave is still basically the same; the changes I thought I detected in him Friday are relatively minor, as they would be in any human slowly getting older.

Daddy, why did you eat my fries?

» Technical difficulties: I am a busy college student with lots of responsibilites and I NEED my email. Since last Friday, I haven't been able to connect my illinois. edu account on my Mac. I have pushed aside hours and hours trying to troubleshoot (utilizing the very reliable Google search engine, of course). I'd say I've gone through each step about 732 times-- and I'm pretty sure that number is close to accurate--but still, no luck. As a last resort attempt, I decided to go to the CITES desk. I like to figure things out by myself so I can at least build my self esteem a little bit, so I swallowed my pride and walked in with my head down. After 45 minutes of awkward conversation and typing in my password every 2 minutes, NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED. The guy at CITES couldn't figure it out either. What am I supposed to do if the CITES guy doesn't know what's up?? I guess I don't feel as stupid as I could have, but uhh not getting mail directly to my Mac is frustrating and I don't like refreshing my browser. If anyonecould help me with this, please send inquiries to cgeary2@illinimedia.com. I'm serious.

the modern age of television, a certain level of production quality is expected among television dramas, with shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones running up huge budgets per episode. It's easy to forget this wasn’t always the case. But in the spring of 1990, Twin Peaks, devised by creative minds David Lynch and Mark Frost, graced the small screen and set precedent on what a television show could accomplish. The mystery of who killed Laura Palmer was the talk of the water cooler (I assume people talked around water coolers in the '90s) in a time before streaming shows was ever a possibility, and the show became a critical success and garnered a huge cult following. With a dreamlike atmosphere and an almost self-parodying atmosphere similar to that of daytime soap operas, the world of Twin Peaks was

both strange and beautiful. Featuring a town of very eccentric characters, the show uses the likable Special Agent Dale Cooper as a gateway character to introduce viewers to the seedy underworld of small town life, a theme David Lynch explored in his previous film Blue Velvet. While there is plenty of humor in characters like the Log Lady or in the relationship between Andy and Lucy, the show will be remembered for its psychological thriller aspects. A few scenes from Twin Peaks were some of the most disturbing images to ever grace the airwaves of basic cable television. However, ratings began to dip and in a panic, the brass at ABC forced the hands of creators Mark Frost and David Lynch into reveal the killer midway through the second season. The move resulted in even lower ratings in the second half and, unfortunately, the show was not renewed for

a third season. This ham-handed showrunning resulted in the series ending on a huge cliffhanger that fans have been eager to see resolved since. Lynch tried to continue the success of the show with the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which premiered at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival and acted as both a prequel and epilogue to the show. The film reviewed poorly and struggled to find an audience, as it alienated fans of the series and was simply too strange for most others. The aspect of the film that was extremely frustrating is that it didn’t seem to answer any questions that the show failed to resolve but in turn raised more. Lynch did plan on having more Twin Peaks films, which may have pulled everything together into a neat little package. However, due to the failure of Fire Walk With Me, he was never given the green light to make them. It seemed the show had come to an end.

Poor Mary Roach, all her friends told her she was good at singing.

Used with permission from CBS Television.

But word soon spread that there was almost an entire film’s worth of footage that was cut from the final picture of Fire Walk With Me and, up until last July, this footage had never been seen. Nearly 25 years after the show had premiered, fans were given a chance to look deeper into the show and get the answers they were looking for with the release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, a remastered Blu-ray collection of the series and movie. This never-before-seen footage should have been the gift that the show’s earnest fans had been waiting for after the show’s failure. But in all honesty, the deleted scenes don’t really add much to the overall story. They don’t answer any of the big questions fans were left with, which is why they didn’t make the final cut of Fire Walk With Me in the first place. The film was Laura’s story, and to show everyone else in the town would have

been tedious. The footage does however, give fans a chance to see more of the characters they love. The 90 minutes of deleted footage isn’t edited with any narrative style but is shown chronologically. Some of the more interesting scenes include a look into the black lodge, a fight between Agent Desmond and Sheriff Cable, an extended look at the mysterious Philip Jefferies and, of course, plenty more of Agent Cooper, including a look at him talking to an offscreen Diane. There is even an extended look at the final scene of season two which, while interesting, doesn’t really add anything to what viewers already knew. Overall, although it's nice to have more and, while there are no plans in the works for anything new in the Twin Peaks universe, fans can still hold hope for a reboot. After all, Laura Palmer did tell Agent Cooper she would be seeing him in 25 years. September 12- 18, 2014 buzz 5

MUCH MORE THAN A NIGHT AT THE BALLET Dance at Illinois hosts first Dance Film Festival at the Art BY CASSIDY WILLIAMS

Used with permission from Rebecca Ferrel.

his year, the Dance department at Illinois is kicking off its season with the first Dance Film Festival. The festival is spread out over three consecutive Tuesdays in September, with the last night scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 16. The Dance Film Festival is held in downtown Champaign at the Art Theater Co-op. The historic building was built in 1913 and has managed to remain a theater throughout its century of life. The idea for the festival came from Mark Rhodes, president of the Board of the Art Theater, who approached Jan Erkert, the head of the Dance department. The festival is a three-way collaboration between the Art Theater, Dance at Illinois and the various partners who are donors to the Dance Department. The coordinators of the event are hoping to feed off of the strong film tradition in the local community. “(Champaign-Urbana) has become this great film mecca with festivals such as Ebertfest and Pens to Lens, as well as locally-based companies like Shutterglass Studios,” festival coordinator Re-

becca Ferrell said. “We like building on that energy.” The festival features shorts, documentaries and “dance for camera” films. Each night features two films, at 7 p.m. and at 9 p.m. As Ferrell explained, the 7 p.m. film is meant for a wider audience, while the 9 p.m. film tends to be more edgy and progressive. “We are all used to going to the ballet, but we wanted to bring dance to the community in a different way,” Ferrell said. According to Ferrell, the first night of the festival, held on the evening of Sept. 2, went wonderfully. The crowd contained a good mix of community members and people from the Dance department. The demographic was also very diverse in age; however, the 9 p.m. viewing seemed to attract a younger crowd. The final night of the festival will follow the same format as the others but with some additional events. The theme for the night is “Looking at Dance Beyond the Theatre.” The first film—dubbed a “real life Billy Elliot” by The New York Times—is a documentary entitled Only When I Dance that follows the

story of two young ballet students in Rio de Janeiro. The 9 p.m. showing will actually include two shorter films. The first, entitled Glow, utilizes lighting and mixed media to transform a solo dancer. “Combining dance with technology is the new wave of dance right now,” Ferrell said of the decision to feature Glow. The second part of the 9 p.m. showing is a film called Frame Dances, which features installation based choreography. In other words, the dances are meant for confined spaces, unlike the typical open-stage setting. The last night of the festival will also unveil the winners of the Loïe Award, named after Loïe Fuller, a famous modern dancer from the Chicago area. The competition invited alumni, students and community members to submit their own dance films. Dance at Illinois professor and festival curator Renée Wadleigh worked with Dance at Illinois alum Laura Chiaramonte to judge the entries. They then selected two runner-ups and two winners, the revealing of whom will help conclude the three weeks of fes-

tivities. The winning films will be screened, and over $500 in money and prizes will be awarded. After the distribution of the Loïe Award, the night (and festival) will conclude with a postshow discussion led by Wadleigh. The coordinators are hoping the festival will not only become an annual event but also continue to expand. This possibility seems promising, as Ferrell says people are already asking about when they can submit their film for next year’s festival. Ferrell believes that the Dance Film Festival is an accessible, refreshing and fun-natured event. “The festival is simply meant for the community,” she said. The seamless combination of film and dance (at both local and national levels) seems to hold something enjoyable for all audience members. The final night of the Dance Film Festival is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 16. An individual ticket to the Dance Film Festival is $9.50/$8.50 for students; tickets for both nights are $16/$11 for students.

A SURPLUS OF “KÜHL” BY JIMIN SHIM

W P G U

you like whiskey? How about a game of bags? Or do you have really swanky facial hair? If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider checking out Champaign Surplus’s Whiskey and Whiskers event, which takes place on Thursday, Sept. 18, from 5 to 9 p.m. at its downtown Champaign location. Located at 303 S. Neil St., Champaign Surplus is an outdoor clothing and military surplus store. It is a local business, which the current owner’s grandfather opened in 1947 after World War II. It began as a military surplus store, but expanded over time, adding outdoor wear to its inventory. “Over the years, it evolved. In the '50s and '60s, camping started to be more prevalent. In the '70s, things transitioned into high-end camping and apparel and the rugged outdoor specialty that it is now, but we’ve always kept a part of our historical part,” owner Shira Epstein said. This year, Champaign Surplus has partnered up with clothing brand Kühl (suitably pronounced “cool”) to host a night of giveaways, special deals and fun. Epstein, who is also the outdoor marketing guru, and Mandy Blackburn, the marketing and events “rabble rouser,” were kind enough to share some more information about the event. With drinks, a bags tournament, music and more, Champaign Surplus is calling it “a gentleman’s evening.” Blackburn said the idea stemmed from wanting to host an event for men that didn’t include the typical beer and sports game. “You don’t really ever hear about men’s fashion nights,” she said, “and so we’ll incorporate the clothes into it.” Champaign Surplus has partnered up with Kühl for this event for several reasons, one of them being that Kühl is especially known for its line of men’s pants. The two companies have wanted to host a men’s night for some time now. Epstein, sales representatives and Kühl representatives came up with the idea while they were, fittingly, drinking whiskey during a trade-show dinner. But ladies, don’t fret! The event is open to everyone, both males and females. Kühl has a full line of both men’s and women’s clothing. Kühl is a small, privately held company based out of Ogden, Utah. Champaign Surplus carries its clothes and especially loves its line of pants for being extremely comfortable and stylish, without sacrificing their being functional and long-lasting. While the two companies have worked together in the past, this will mark the first time they have partnered up to host an even. “We always work with them to buy the line and do the assortments but, we’ve never done a specific market-

ing event, so we’re really excited to do that,” said Epstein. There will be lots of giveaways and prizes throughout the night from Champaign Surplus, Kühl and Clutch Cuts. Champaign’s Firehaus Bar and Grill will be providing beer, whiskey and appetizers for the evening as well. Attendees can also enjoy some friendly competition by participating in the bags tournament. It will be a double-elimination bracket tournament, and winners will receive free Kühl merchandise. Checkin for the tournament will begin at 5 p.m. on the day of the event, and the first game will be played at 5:30 p.m. Spots are available on a first come, first served basis. Attendees can also pre-register teams by emailing events@champaignsurplus.com. Those with awesome facial hair should also drop by the event, as they will earn the chance to win Kühl merchandise as well. A “Best Facial Hair” contest will be held, with attendees voting on who has the most interesting and/or craziest facial hair. “We definitely want to say: if you have a swanky beard or facial hair, come out to the event,” said Epstein. If you have neither bags skills nor a swanky beard, do not worry. Anyone can be entered into a raffle to win Kühl merchandise simply by trying on a pair of Kühl pants. This is the first Whiskey and Whiskers event that Champaign Surplus will be hosting and, if the event is successful, it may become an annual happening. Past events have always had good turnouts, with a mix of locals and niversity faculty, staff and students. Champaign Surplus hopes this event will have more students in attendance than usual, as Epstein said, “Kühl trends a bit younger, so a more diverse crowd would be great.” The event is free and a drink ticket will be given to each attendee. There is a bar for those who are 21 years or older and Pepsi beverages for those who are not. “We hope everyone will come and show up. It’ll be a really fun evening of socializing and good products and fun things to do,” Epstein said.

SCRUMPTIOUS STUDIES

The ARC Instructional Kitchen Cooks Up a New Semester of Classes BY LEILA SHINN

fter a few months have passed since starting college, you might find yourself getting homesick. You’re missing the time spent with family, your warm and cozy bed and—most of all—the home cooking. Dorm food just isn’t the same and, if you’re somehow lucky enough to have your own apartment and kitchen, maybe you simply lack the cooking skills necessary to make a home cooked meal that lives up to your momma’s. While eating out is always an option, it’s the kind of expensive and time-consuming one that’ll have you reaching for the instant ramen in no time. With so many in such dire culinary straits, there is a path away from the processed food and into the light: the ARC Instructional Kitchen. The ARC Instructional Kitchen, part of the University’s Campus Recreation, meets several diverse needs for CU’s gastronomically challenged. Embarrassed to share your lack of experience with complete strangers? No problem; you can rent out the kitchen with a group of friends for your own private class with one of the program’s instructors. This way, you and your buddies can shed the sort of pressure that hamstrings

so many amateur cooks, and learn a thing or two in a relaxed environment. The instructors not only offer a variety of topics but also can hold private classes in your own kitchen (as well as at the ARC’s) to help familiarize you with your own equipment. If, instead, you’ve got all the skills you need but no access to suitable space and equipment, the ARC’s kitchen can be rented out for personal use as well. It’s just the ideal location to knead and bake and frost those two hundred cupcakes you need for your organization, and it’s sure to be far cleaner than the mess your roommate left back at home. While both private lessons and personal use of the kitchen are handy options for any would-be cooks, the ARC Instructional Kitchen is best known for its series of healthy cooking classes, the latest of which started this past Wednesday night. This semester, the ARC Instructional Kitchen is offering three different series of classes: Desserts to Die For, All About You and Celebrity Chef Spotlight. Two classes are offered for each series, with classes alternating in a rotation, making for a total of six fun-

filled nights of instruction available this semester. When it comes to dessert, everyone wants to be able to indulge in a sweet treat without feeling guilty. Well, the ARC’s instructors are there to help, having just run a Commercial Candies class on Sept. 10th featuring homemade, healthier versions of favorite candies. Those who missed the first Desserts to Die For class need not get too sad though, as the kitchen will be hosting a Gluten-Free and Vegan Desserts on Nov. 5. While the desserts courses are about helping with those decadent cravings, the All About You series is based off of feedback and suggestions from past participants. So, based on popular demand, the ARC will be offering a Knife Skills class on Oct. 8 and one on Sushi Making on Dec. 3. While the former of these is an essential lesson that will greatly increase your speed prepping ingredients (while saving you a few fingers), the latter is a great date idea and look inside how one of CU’s most popular cuisines actually gets made.

MUSIC

HERE THEY GO AGAIN OK Go comes to Canopy Club BY JESSICA GONZALEZ

OK Go

became well-known for their inventive music videos, such as the treadmill dance routine for “Here It Goes Again” and the Rube-Goldberg machine for “This Too Shall Pass,” reaching over 60 million views combined. Their new album, Hungry Ghosts, is scheduled to be released this October and will include a slew of new videos. OK Go is performing this Saturday at Canopy Club in Urbana at 9:30 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $15. In the middle of the band's 2014 U.S. tour, buzz got the chance to talk to OK Go’s bassist Tim Nordwind before the show. ªbuzz: How’s the tour going? Have you played at any really cool venues that you haven’t played at before? ªTim Nordwind: Tour’s going great. We’re actually playing a lot of smaller places than what we normally do because our record’s not out yet and, we haven’t toured in a while, so we kind of wanted to get the word out again and play some intimate shows for our fans and just kind of get back up and running again. A lot of the places we’re playing we actually have played before, you know, it’s kind of like going back to visit old friends before going out for a much bigger trip. But you know, we are returning to some really awesome places. We’re about to go to Bowery Ballroom in New York and the 9:30 Club in D.C. and Paradise (Rock Club) in Boston; stuff like that. I’m looking forward to going back to all those places, and then in the spring we’re going to be doing much larger theatres, so we’re looking forward to that as well. ªbuzz: For each show, what do you do to make it more exciting for either yourselves or for the fans? ªTN: Well, we’ve actually put together like a whole brand new show that’s pretty different from anything we’ve done in the past and, it’s very interactive, and there’s a lot of multimedia things going on, so there’s a real sort of like emotional arch to it, and there’s a lot of video. We make a song with the audience, we play songs in the audience, a ton of confetti and a bunch of other surprises throughout the show and so it feels—it’s like somewhere between theatre, a parade and a rock show kind of all in one. ªbuzz: Are you excited to come back to Chicago this weekend? ªTN: Yeah, I’m totally psyched. You know, we come from that part of the world, so it’s always nice to be back in the Midwest. ªbuzz: Yeah, you’ve done a lot of really cool things in Chicago like playing for This American Life, Obama’s 50th birthday party and Lollapalooza. Is there anything to look forward to in the next few years in Chicago?

ªTN: There’s no events kind of like any of the stuff you just described that’s happening quite yet. You know, hopefully. It seems like there’s always something awesome to come back for in Chicago, and hopefully we’ll get invited to do more crazy stuff. I’m hoping to come back and play festivals next summer, but for now we’re coming to do our own thing, which I’m excited about. ªbuzz: OK, so your album that’s going to launch in October, Hungry Ghosts, what do you think fans are going to like most about it? ªTN: I think probably the fact that it’s a very, sort of surrea; I think it’s very surreal, it’s very modern and it’s very dance-y. And it’s definitely our most unique take on pop music that we’ve come up with so far. I think, partly due to the fact that a lot of this record was sort of written on our laptops, there’s a lot of synthesized music with dance beats and stuff like that, so it’s really fun. It’s a big party, it’s a super fun record and it’s very reminiscent of a lot of the things we grew up listening to on the radio when we were kids in the '80s. I don’t know, I don’t always like to be referential because half the time I name bands that people don’t know, but for the people who do know these bands there’s a lot of INXS and New Order and Prince and Madonna on this record. Just a lot of really big pop bands from the '80s, I think, filtered through us for this record. ªbuzz: After Hungry Ghosts is released, what’s next for OK Go? ªTN: We’re gonna be on tour for the rest of this year, mostly in the States. Next year, we’re going to be going to Europe and Japan and several other countries. We have a new video for a song called “I Won’t Let You Down” that’s gonna be coming out this fall, and we’re currently in the middle of developing a couple more videos, plus a TV show—a possible TV show—and we have some... I don’t think I can talk about it right now, but there’s a really cool idea for next summer that would be part of our show that we may be touring around over next summer, but I can’t really tell you specifically what that is yet. ªbuzz: Since you brought up videos, I have to ask: When you start the creative process behind a video, how does that begin, and who’s involved? ªTN: I think for pretty much anything we do that falls under the umbrella of OK Go, I mean, almost any idea whether it be song or video or live show or science project, whatever it is that we do, it kind of just stems from whatever we think will be fun to make. We try to generally just chase our best ideas. These days, I feel like the definition of what

Used with permission from OK Go.

a musician is, what a filmmaker is, what a painter is, you know, all these things—the sort of definitions from the 20th century—what all those things are are kind of start to fade and crumble and I think

people who make things period these days are kind of free to just come up with whatever ideas they want to come up with. To read the full article, go to readbuzz.com.
