2 buzz September 27-October 3, 2013

This being my fourth year in ChampaignUrbana, I’ve grown accustomed to a certain yearly rhythm. There are seasonal events for which I mark my calendar, and none seem to mean more, both to me personally and to this community’s music scene, than Pygmalion.

Pygmalion weekend was the first assignment I ever took as a writer for buzz. I went to Exile on Main Street in downtown Champaign to review an in-store performance by (now defunct) local band Evil Tents and was pleasantly surprised by the music, the greatness of the venue and the turnout for the relatively new local group. This was one of my first ventures into downtown Champaign territory, and I was incredibly happy to have found an environment more suited to my tastes than what I had previously been exposed to and was sick of: frat parties or staying home. Pygmalion was the spark for my belief in the local music scene, which has continued until this day. Without it, who knows where I'd be or what I'd be doing.

The great part about Pygmalion as a music festival is that it brings some of the “buzziest” and best indie acts to town and pairs them with local artists in a way that makes sense. It’s a perfect way for local acts to expand their audience, and vice versa. Fans become exposed to acts right under their nose that they may never have discovered. And then there’s the obvious benefit of bringing CU many of its best concerts of the year in the course of one weekend.

Local artists look at Pygmalion as though it were a holiday. On Tuesday, The Dirty Feathers posted on their Facebook page, “It’s Pygmalion Music Festival week and it’s gonna be hard to sleep. Got the tree decorated, bottles of whiskey underneath, and the stockings are stuffed with bottles of aspirin. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” If that doesn’t tell you what Pygmalion means to local musicians, I don’t know what will.

While the musical component of the fest has been around for some time now, the impact of the fest’s new aspects has yet to be seen. But if everything I’m hearing is true, I don’t see how either one won’t be a major benefit for the arts community. Made Fest in particular, with its focus on locally made crafts and goods, fits in well with the objective of getting local artists exposure.

So if I were you, I wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Even if you’re on a budget and can’t afford a festival pass, there are individual show tickets and even plenty of free fun to be had. I'll see ya out there.

HALOWEEN FUN-THINGS

BY LEAH CAPLAN Looking for some Halloween-related fun with your friends and family throughout the month of October? Champaign-Urbana and its neighbors have several outdoor and indoor thrills ready and waiting for you.

The Monticello Railway Museum will have a Ghost Car exhibit open during the two weekends prior to Halloween. The ride through Camp Creek Hollow is suitable for all ages, but the Haunted Boxcar is only for those with courage in their hearts.

The train has departure times at half hour intervals with a fare of $7 for ages 2 and up. It is recommended that the young kids go to the Sunday Matinees because they can walk through the dreaded Haunted Boxcar with the lights on. There will also be hot food and drinks available at the museum during the event. Information and ticket sales can be found at www.mrym.org/halloween.html Can’t get out of town? That’s okay! The Champaign Park District will have an annual Zombie Run on October 19 in Dodds Park. Sign up to run or walk as a human or to chase people down a 2+ mile course as a zombie. At the end of the race, there will be awards, activities, food and fun things to buy. Get that zombie makeup ready and sign up at the Park District's website. Other Champaign Park District Halloween events will include the 28th Annual Halloween Funfest, Howl’oween at the Bark District, and Nightmare on Grove Street, each with more information coming out soon online at champaignparkdistrict.com.

open: It is finally that time of year when the warm, sun baked days turn into crisp, cool evenings full of the aroma of dying leaves and far off bonfires. I love when I am finally able to switch my thermostat to “off� and open up all of the windows in my tiny two bedroom apartment to purify the stale machine-produced air. I’m not even perturbed by the noisy frats nearby because the faint breeze rustling through my curtains right next to my bed whispers me to sleep in an autumn bliss.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the way people talk about her it’s as if they all know her personally. Well, they probably don’t. Leave Miley alone! I think her new style and sound is a million times better than the crap she would put out while she was with Disney.

I’ll actually listen to her music now. I really hope this whole “New Miley� thing isn’t just us getting punk’d because I’m not ready to go back to hearing about Lindsey and Amanda on the news.

FATHERLY FLICKS FOR DADS WEEKEND Catch some movies that honor your old man

At

long last, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dads Weekend! Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re preparing for a familial ordeal of awful proportions or looking forward to cracking open some beers with your ol' man, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compilation of fatherly-themed cinematic classics. Be it with your pops, or on your own, curl up with a bowl of popcorn (or a bottle of whiskey) to these films.

Star Wars: â&#x20AC;&#x153;These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the droids youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a very bad feeling about this!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only a master of evil, Darth.â&#x20AC;?

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately recognize every single one of these quotes, then you already know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing with Dad this weekend. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, nothing brings you and your paterfamilias together quite like a marathon weekend of lightsabers, starships, and awkward, nearly Oedipal almostromance between unwitting siblings. Actually, scratch that last one.

Star Wars features the classic adventure narrative of a boy who grew up in a remote desert, but found greatness and responsibility thrust upon him and eventually saved all that he knew from an unjust empire. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story that never fails to inspire, and the fact that it also features massive space battles, combat with sabers made of light, and heroes and villains with the ability to bend their surroundings to their will makes it that much better. While the special effects and story make Star Wars a fantastic series, it is the characters that make it a true classic. From the Zenlike Yoda and the terrifying Darth Vader to BUZZ the scraggly Chewbacca and the adorable ewoks, FRIDAY the characters that populate the Star Wars universe SEPTEMBER 27 make itcorp truly unforgettable.

Noalways matter how many note...keep this same size times I pop my tape in and settle down with some popcorn I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spill at an amazing mo1 (which X 5.417 ment and have to clean up later), this is one series 1/8th page that never gets old. Watch it this weekend, you must. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ashish Valentine Taken: How far will one man go to save his daughter? Most are willing to travel to the end of the world no matter how long it may take. Others may happily put themselves in their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place.

For a character like Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), all it takes is about two hours and one voicemail for his fatherly instincts to kick in full throttle.

In the movie Taken, hours of action are cultivated on screen as audiences view an older man using combat moves against hounds of others that stand in his way. With one simple phone call, our protagonist is able to let viewers and antagonists alike know that â&#x20AC;&#x153;he will look for you, he will find you, and he will kill you.â&#x20AC;?

While the action scenes may be hard hitting, what viewers may not perceive is the love one man has for his daughter. While trained by the CIA, Mills travels through all ends to save his only daughter, based not on training, but love.

Instead of panicking and forgetting the scenario altogether, Mills is willing to knock down doors and release the fury of a man that has just been robbed of his most prized possession.

Fathers worldwide can feel the compassion of a man losing his daughter and relate to the drive

Mills has towards retrieving what was taken from him. Daughters can relate to the feeling of knowing that, if in the same position, their father would also go through all ends to save them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if the combat skills are a little off.

Overall, Taken is able to not only display a man that can destroy any man coming his way, but a father that will do all it takes to save his daughter from harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. Think of it as your father holding your hand when you crossed the street as a child, but times ten. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Aaliyah Gibson What a Girl Wants: This cheesy yet charming comedy reminds us that all we really want in life is to be accepted for exactly who we are. Raised in a cramped New York apartment by a single mother (Kelly Preston), Daphne Reynolds (Amanda Bynes) has always dreamt of meeting her longabsent father (Colin Firth). When Daphne finally gets up the nerve to find him, she discovers him to be a wealthy British politician, and convinces him and his family to let her stay in their London home.

The plot consists of Daphneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle to stay true to her whimsical personality while trying to fit into her dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prim and proper lifestyle. As the movie goes on, Daphne and her father come to realize that they are more alike than they seem. Although the storyline is predictable and unoriginal, What a Girl Wants is full of heart and will leave a smile on your face. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling sentimental, hop on the couch next to your old man and let sentimentality roll on. And if nothing else, the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remind us that Amanda Bynes was not always the cautionary tale we know today. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ava Kelley Kramer vs. Kramer: While the title Kramer vs.

Kramer suggests that the focus of this film is some kind of battle (legal or otherwise) between a couple, the heart of this film is located in Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Dustin Hoffman) struggle in becoming a better father. Initially, Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is all too common: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so wrapped up in advancing at work that he neglects his wife, Joanna (Meryl Streep), and his son, Billy (Justin Henry). When Joanna splits, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to Ted to raise his son on his own.

Needless to say, Ted is at a loss. A stressed out workaholic, Ted doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know how to make French toast for Billy, folding pieces of bread and dipping them into an egg filled mug. The film is heart wrenching, showing Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth from an absentee parent to a present father, willing to put his child before himself. Of course, right as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting it together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the man finally learns how to make French toast! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joanna returns, demanding custody. Definitely not a huge film for laughs, but it is riveting, and the end will move you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if not to tears, then to something beyond indifference. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a film for anyone whose father isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect, that is, for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Amanda Toledo Back to the Future: Did you know that Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale got the idea for Back to the Future from looking through their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; old yearbooks? The concept of interacting with their teenaged fathers was the driving force behind one of the best films of the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The film follows Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), a high school student who finds himself accidentally sent back to the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a time machine built by his friend, Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Marty ends up altering the course of history by interfering with the lives of his young parents, played by Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson. The reason the film excels is the fact that it has something for everyone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got comedy, teen drama, science fiction, romance, action, and a great soundtrack.

Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been particularly drawn to Martyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationships with his father, George.

In the beginning of the film, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that George lacks any self-assurance, which contrasts with Martyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supreme confidence. When he gets sent back in time, he runs into his teenage, geeky father, and their interactions are a highlight of the film. Marty is able to help make George a better person, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so powerful in depicting the duality that fathers can rely on their sons just as much as their sons rely on them. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ryan Neil For more Dads Weekend favorites, head to readbuzz.com!

THE TORCH IS “LIT”

Pygmalion hosts first literature festival

is feet shuffle across the floor. His gaze shifts slightly to the left, faintly peeking out from under the rims of his square-shaped frames. He clutches the cardboard coffee sleeve of the cup on his left-hand side. He looks back at me, shrugs, and smiles.

“I want to see them all read. I know you asked for one that I want to see, but I can’t pick just one.”

Pygmalion Lit Fest Coordinator Caleb Curtiss had a difficult time trying to pick a favorite out of the fifteen authors attending the first annual Pygmalion Lit Festival in mid-September.

They’re just too rad to choose from.

Held in tandem with the Pygmalion Music Festival, the literature festival features a variety of readings by emerging and established authors with ties to Illinois and the Midwest.

Pygmalion founder Seth Fein named the festival in honor of the '90s band Slowdive and their album of the same name. But the festival’s moniker also has apt literary significance — namely the Greek myth of a sculptor that brings

his statue to life, of which the Tony Award winning musical “My Fair Lady” and Disney’s “Pinocchio” are loosely based upon.

Though familiar with the University’s initiative to showcase a variety of authors, Curtiss sought to create a similar event on a grander scale, igniting the same literary fervor in the minds of Champaign-Urbana residents as well as U of I students.

“I’ve been putting together readings for the past four or five years in Urbana-Champaign and we’ve been getting bigger and bigger audiences. I would go to a reading at the Illinois Union Bookstore and they’d have a huge gathering there,” said Curtiss. “The idea behind Pygmalion was ‘well, gosh, we have what appears to be a really big audience for fun literary readings, maybe people would be willing to go to a reading at a bar instead.’”

The Pygmalion Lit Festival follows along the lines of other popular literature festivals in the Midwest, most nota bly the Mission Creek Lit-

erary Festival in Iowa City, Iowa.

Interest in Pygmalion from cities outside of the Midwest is due to the involvement of the University’s literary journal, “Ninth Letter.”

A collaborative effort between the Graduate Creative Writing Program and the School of Art & Design at the University of Illinois, “Ninth Letter” publishes the original literary writing of authors nationwide. The journal has received countless accolades, including Best New Literary Journal by the Council of Learned Journals, an affiliate of the Modern Language Association in 2005.

“Our goal [in partnering with the literary festival] is to bring more literary and writing events to the community,” said Stanley. “There’s a lot of crossover between music fans and literary fans. I hope that by partnering with the music festival we can provide something new to a new part of the community.”

“Ninth Letter’s” involvement sparked interest in the authors seeking to participate in

Pygmalion. About half of the authors selected to speak have been published in the literary journal.

The distinctiveness of the festival is exactly why author Kathleen Rooney agreed to participate.

Rooney acknowledges that the sense of isolation and melancholy longing felt by residents in the generally overlooked cities of the Midwest has influenced her writing. Her most recent book, “Robinson Alone,” embodies the feeling of loss and insecurity felt by Robinson, the character in a poem written by poet Weldon Kees prior to his mysterious disappearance.

However diverse their taste in literature might be, Stanley is sure that residents and students alike will find value in the both the authors and the experience as a whole.

“It’s about art,” said Stanley. “[Pygmalion will have] music, readings, a book fair where you can come and buy books and meet writers and editors; there’s going to be crafts people Pygmalion is a big gathering of creative people who want to share their creative works and get together with like minded people and just have a good time.”

Rooney, along with the other authors scheduled to appear at the Pygmalion, highlight the cultural significance the festival brings to the Champaign-Urbana area and the proud excitement residents feel knowing that their town is where the party’s at.

“To think that this is happening in my own community is a really exciting thing. You can go to Chicago or Indianapolis or St. Louis or whatever and to see a show, but it’s really exciting for me to buy a wristband and take an MTD bus downtown,” said Curtiss. “Whenever we have a big festival, people get excited for it; I think culturally it’s a good thing because it gets people thinking this is the kind of community where we do fun things.”

The Pygmalion Literature Festival will be held September 27-28. For more details, check out http://www.pygmalionlitfest.com/index.php.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also got the lowdown on many of these artists in the form of articles and interviews on readbuzz.com â&#x20AC;&#x201D; check it out and enjoy the weekend! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;MR By: Danielle Janota, Kevin McMahon, Maddie Rehayem, Sean Neumann, Anwen Parrott Tyler Durgan, Kâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;lex Hilton, Jenn Aguinaldo, Will Carr, Nick Rossi and Fergus Lynch FRIDAY 9/27 Error Records 6:30-7:00 Old Fox Road 7:15-7:45 Smoke Coke 8:00-8:30 My Dad: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a question as to how many drummers My Dad will be performing with, but rest assured that they will bring the manic math punk in great volumes to Errorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year as part of Pygmalion. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;MR 8:45-9:15 Lord Snow

10:00-11:15 Kurt Vile and the Violators: Kurt Vile is one of those musicians who can do no wrong, but manages to keep his music in an exciting, constantly evolving state. Everything heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put out, including his 2013 release Walkin On A Pretty Daze, is full of positive vibes and relaxing waves of classic rock guitar youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to smoke with your dad to. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;MR Independent Media Center 9:15-9:45 The Stars, They Beckon: The in-your-face nature of The Stars, They Beckon promises for a Pygmalion set that will be loud and heavy. The fourpiece melodic punk band will make you move and make you sweat, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy you did. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;SN 10:15-10:45 Hank.: Pinched, the first full-length album by local math lords Hank., came out this summer.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dynamic collection of songs produced such that it shows off the tight musicianship this band is capable of. They played it live in full at their album release show and are sounding great â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who knows what they have in store for Pyg. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;MR 11:15-12:15 METZ: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly impossible to compress the raw, grungy force that is METZ into a short blurb. With three instruments played loudly enough to make your head ache â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the best possible way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; METZ is noise punk in all of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pure, unadulterated, thundering glory. While their first album was very well received and has skyrocketed in popularity over the course of this past year, the band is still known and loved for their powerful live performance. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;AP

Downtown Urbana 7:30-8:00 Jonathan Rice: Johnathan Rice has a stacked resume. The Elvis Costello collaborator, band-mate of Jenny Lewis, and Walk The Line Canopy Club actor guarantees a blissful indie-folk set at his ;YHKLZOV^ +PZWSH`Z Pygmalion debut. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;DJ 10:30-11:00 Common Loon: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever wondered 8:30-9:30 Dawes: The folky four-piece comes to how watching a mushroom cloud unfurl yet beChambana just two weeks off of their European tour. ing totally at peace with your own demise might Fans can look forward to Taylor Goldsmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion sound, this local psych-pop duo seems to have filled lyrics creating a night without pretense. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;KM the answer. Like watching someone fall off his or

her bike, a joke at a funeral or the ending to Annie Hall, Common Loon is all at once moody, tortured yet somehow innately satisfying. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TD 11:15-12:00 TBD 12:30-2:00The Breeders: Started simply enough as a Pixies side project, the band has managed to weave its way through the past 20 years making splashes when conditions were right for those involved. Kim Dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left the Pixies now for this tour, which coincides with a 20th anniversary reissue of Last Splash and is sure to elicit some justified nostalgia. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;KM SATURDAY 9/28 Highdive Outdoors 1:30-2:00 Take Care: Locals Take Care are whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good about Midwest emo rock nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. Jam with the smooth sound as they take you through atmospheric, contemplative grooves and then toss you into heavy riffs that get the crowd moving. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;FL 2:10-2:40 Elsinore: While Elsinore may be the biggest band to come out of C-U in the past couple of years, they remain fresh with every show. The indie-pop band knows what to bring to the table when it comes to playing at Pygmalion, and you can be sure that it will be neatly set by the time the show is over. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;SN 2:50-3:20 On An On: When three former members of Scattered Trees ditched the mopey guitar pop for mopey synth pop, they accidentally created the best Greyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anatomy soundtrack in the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run (not to mention the best use of vocoder since)HUULY +PZWSH`Z that one Imogen Heap song). â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TD 3:30-4:00 San Fermin 4:10-4:40 Little Green Cars: Little Green Cars comes all the way from Dublin, the birthplace of some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best live music. Returning to Illinois after their mellow Lollapalooza performance this sum-

mer, the indie-rock band will grace CU with tunes from their 2013 album Absolute Zero. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;DJ 4:50-5:20 Psychic Twin: Though neither psychic nor a twin (or is she?), Erin Fein used to be in local band Headlights, but has since transitioned to writing about how much it sucks to get dumped, instead of, you know, oncoming traffic, or whatever. Percussion heavy and heavily danceable stuff. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TD 5:30-6:00 Caveman: I interviewed guitarist Jimmy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cobraâ&#x20AC;? Carbonetti when they performed at the Highdive back in June. When I asked him if the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more primitive-species-invoking name was a play on their futuristic sound, he flatly replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nope.â&#x20AC;? But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry, the New York based quintet is much more expansive in their live show. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TD 6:10-6:50 Bleached: Sisters Jessica and Jennifer Clavin used to be in Mika Miko, a band at the center of L.A.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art punk scene circa 2007.

Mika Mikoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been broken up for a few years, but the sisters Clavin formed Bleached, trading their no-waviness for California sunshine akin to Best Coast and Wavves. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;WC 7:00-7:40 Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons 7:50-8:30 Kishi Bashi: In the immensely over-saturated world of YouTube acoustic sessions, this Seattle violinist, beatboxer and Of Montreal touring member and his wide array of loop pedals has breathed new life into whatever it means to play behind NPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tiny desk. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TD 8:40-9:20 Youth Lagoon: A friend once misheard me refer to this group as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Youth Legumes,â&#x20AC;? which might actually fit them better, considering how experimental and nutty their latest record wound up bean. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hilarious. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TD Shut up Tyler. I like Youth Lagoon and the new album takes the right hints from The Flaming Lips and Animal Collective. See this dude. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;MR 9:30-10:15 Dessa: Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rapper, and a singer and

a poet. Dessa, of the Minnesota rap collective Doomtree, is now touring with a band. They’re backing this wonderwoman as she spits her thruths across the country. —MR 10:30-12:00 Major Lazer: Diplo headlines this year’s Pygmalion as his moombahton/dancehall alter ego. Known for his interactive live performances and first-rate remixes, Diplo turns any song he touches to gold. I honestly don’t know what to look forward to most: the remixes, the twerkoff, Diplo zorbing through the crowd, or the chaos that will ensue when “Bubble Butt” comes on. Major Lazer won’t just be playing a show, they’ll be hosting the biggest dance party of the year. —DJ Exile on Main Street 1:00-1:30 Moonwish 2:00-2:30 Mille Nomi 3:00-3:30 Dino Bravo: If your ears aren’t ringing like a bomb just went off under your feet by the time Dino Bravo’s Pygmalion set is done, then you probably aren’t going to be there. The twopiece thrash metal is loud and heavy, but the two have something more explosive brewing about this year’s Pygmalion. —SN 4:00-4:30 The Fights 5:00-5:30 Barrowe: Local bros converge in Champaign to create a cacophony reminiscent of Bear vs. Shark playing under the influence of muscle relaxers aboard a renegade Viking ship equipped with wall of sound producing technologies. Not for the faint of heart. —NR 6:00-6:30 Finer Feelings

Memphis on Main 5:00-5:45 Justin Walter 6:15-7:00 Jenny Hval: Norweigan singer-songwriter-composer Jenny Hval’s music has an uneasiness about it that crawls right under your skin. In ways similar to Bjork, she uses her voice as an instrument to tease and to teach. She used to make music under the moniker Rockettothesky, but her second album under her real name, Innocence Is Kinky came out this year, and is…let’s just say not for the innocent, but more for the kinky. —MR 7:30-8:15 Nat Baldwin: Sometimes-Dirty Projector and all-the-time-cool guy, Nat Baldwin plays songs on his bass with eerily-layered vocals, bringing to mind the DPs and Grizzly Bear, with whom he’s also recorded. —WC 11:15-11:45 Bookmobile!: Bookmobile! has only been together for a few months, but have made quite the impression while they’ve been playing live. They finally released a track “Please Go Away!” this week on Heirship Records’ Crashing the Heirship compilation to give fans a taste of what to expect at their Pygmalion set. —SN 12:15-1:00 Grandkids: Grandkids are fresh off the release of their first full-length album Timeshare and are in full-stride, coming off an East Coast tour. The four-piece indie-pop band is in full bloom and this year’s Pygmalion may be the best time to ever catch them perform. —SN 1:15-2:00 Withershins: It’s a difficult task to precisely place local mainstay Withershins into any one genre. With huge soundscapes and beautifully crushing guitars, they are often labeled as a shoegaze band with serious influence stemming from the post-rock, post-hardcore and emo genres. At their

essence, Withershins is five guys that bid adieu to free time in order to do what they love — and please many listeners in the process with a combination of exhaustion, energy, and alcohol. —AP Mike ‘N’ Molly’s 6:00-6:30 Anna Karinina/Anna Karina: This is one of the best bands flying under the radar in Champaign-Urbana. With only one EP out to date, the band finally released a new song, “Taco Tuesday” on Heirship Records’ Crashing the Heirship compilation earlier this week, and the track reassures that the Annas are surely alive and kicking strong. —SN 7:00-7:30 Wicked Walls: J. Caleb Means means well, so when his old band New Ruins fell apart, he knew he had to grow up by getting back to his roots. He dusted off his old fuzz pedals, read a book about insane asylum patient Frances Farmer, proposed to band mate Lindsey Barr and gave CU it’s latest shoegaze-metal behemoth. —TD 8:00-8:30 Motes 9:00-9:30 Shadows on a River: Last week they broke their four-year silence and released a promising new single and spooky video, along with promises of a new record. It’s something to get excited about, especially if you are into the Olympics, Presidential elections, or any other once-every-four-years events. —TD 10:00-10:30 Potty Mouth: Massachusetts punks Potty Mouth are sure to bring an energetic set to this year’s Pygmalion. These four girls are young, but they know what they’re doing and they’ll prove it to anyone watching their set this weekend. —SN 11:00-11:30 DCTV

12:00-12:30 Stagnant Pools: Two-piece Indiana band Stagnant Pools consists of two members (and brothers), Bryan and Douglass Enas, who need only a guitar and a drum kit to bring back remnants of Joy Division and Sonic Youth.—JA 1:00-1:45 Saturday Looks Good To Me: Saturday of Pygmalion is looking good to me…partly because of this band being a part of the lineup this year! (Sorry, had to.) But really, a twee-leaning indie-pop Polyvinyl band with a fine album out this year can’t go wrong. —MR Cowboy-Monkey 11:00-11:30 Coco Butter Kids 12:00-12:30 That’s No Moon: That’s no moon… that’s a…possible sophomore album? Catch up with CU’s favorite local synth-slinging band at Pygmalion this year. —MR 1:00-2:00 Sun Stereo: One of CU’s homegrown favorites brings its own tasty blend of funk and obscure electronic samples to the stage. Kelly McMorris’ vocals are sure to remind listeners that they are exactly where they should be. —KM Highdive Indoors 11:15-11:40 AWTHNTKTS 11:45-12:30 The Struggle: Consisting of Kevin Miller aka DJ Belly on decks, Isaac Arms of Withersins on bass, Jesse Greenlee of Sun Stereo on drums, and Ted Faust of The Dirty Feathers on keys, the struggle formed to back emcees while they rap on stage.

They will hit the stage with Swords, Jay Moses, and Klevah featuring Harsh at this show. —KH 12:45-1:10 Booty Trap 1:15-2:00 The Jillionaire September 27 - October 3, 2013 buzz 7

PACKING THE PRESERVES How to: canning

all is in the air — leaves are changing color, temperatures are dropping, pumpkins are materializing and apple orchards everywhere are bustling. But sadly, all of these lovely sweater weather happenings can mean only one thing: the time to buy quality fresh fruits and veggies is rapidly drawing to a close. But don’t despair! Here at buzz we have the perfect fix for your impending winter food blues, an easy-to-follow guide to canning anything and everything that will leave your tummy satisfied until springtime.

The Basic Steps for Water Bath Canning (Adapted from the Ball Canning Guide) Things you’ll need: »A large stockpot or canning pot »Jar lifters »Saucepan »Glass mason jars »Ladle

»Small plastic spatula »Measuring equipment »Dish rags 1 . Wash your jars off with hot water and soap, rinse well.

2 . Place jars in a pot of simmering water that comes an inch above the top of the upright jars.

This will keep them warm until they are needed.

3 . Prepare your chosen food (see recipe below) in the saucepan.

4 . Remove jars from simmering water using jar lifters or tongs; place them on dishrags on the counter.

5 . Fill each jar with prepared food; your recipe should specify how full to fill each jar.

6. Wipe down the outside of each jar and attach the lid, twisting until secure but not excessively tight.

7. Place full jars back into the pot of simmering water, lowering them down carefully with your jar lifters.

8. Increase heat until the water reaches a steady boil. Let jars sit in boiling water for as long as your recipe specifies.

9. Turn off heat. After 5 minutes remove the jars from the water and let them cool on dishtowels or a cooling rack.

Notes: »This method is only acceptable for preserving high-acid foods like fruits and tomatoes. Low-acid foods (most vegetables and fish) must be canned using a pressure canner, which is a trickier, more expensive method of canning. »Foods canned using the water bath method should remain good for up to one year.

Apple Butter (Adapted from Frock Files’ Mom’s Apple Butter Recipe) Apple butter is a delicious, seasonal preserve that can be spread over bread like jam or used as a fruity dessert topping. While there are smooth-

er, more time intensive apple butter recipes out there, this one is a simple and tasty option for beginners looking to test out their canning skills.

Ingredients: »Four large, tart apples »1/2 cup apple juice »4 tablespoons brown sugar »1.5 teaspoons cinnamon » 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1.Peel, core and quarter apples.

2 . Combine apples and juice in a large pot and bring to boil. Lower heat and cover, cooking for 45-60 minutes.

3. Mash the mixture with a potato masher, or pulse in a food processor if you have one, until you reach your desired texture.

4 . Mix in spices and cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes uncovered, stirring often.

5. Fill jars within 1/4 inch of the top and seal as directed above.

A preview of the Pygmalion Made Festival

BY WILL HUBBS

It

is a picture perfect day. The streets are crowed, but not in a bad way. Everyone is moving from one vendor to another, and the air is charged with energy. And then you find it, exactly what you have been looking for. It could be a work of art or maybe just a cool looking T-shirt.

At this point you are probably wondering where you are. You are at the Made Festival located at the Highdive Outdoor Annex, at the intersection of N. Market Street and Main Street.

The Made Festival is an outdoor event, happening September 28, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., that was created in collaboration with the Pygmalion Music Festival. Unlike the music festival however, the Made Festival is free to attend for everyone in the area. It will feature vendors selling a variety of products, ranging from homemade goods such as soap, metal work, art and T-shirts to vintage goods from eras long passed.

Sophie McMahan is a local artist, born and raised in Urbana, who will be attending the upcoming Made Festival. She is interested in American culture from the 1940s and the 1950s. More specifically, she attempts to show the falseness of this culture by inverting the period's typical art styles found in the period’s advertisements and pictures to show the true image of the time period. Sophie gives us an inside look at the Made Festival: »buzz: Where are you from? Are you located locally, or are you going to have to travel to attend the Made Festival? »Sophie McMahan: I was born and raised in Urbana, and after a few years of living away, I came back. So I am local. »buzz: What type of products will you be selling at the Made Festival?

»SM: I will be selling hand drawn earrings, comics, T-shirts, bags and prints with a couple of my images silk-screened onto them. »buzz: What got you interested in making products like this? »SM: I’m a visual artist, and I wanted to make my art more accessible. Most people, particularly younger people, don’t have $500 to drop on an original piece of art, so making shirts and prints with my work on them seems like a good, affordable solution. »buzz: How long have you been preparing for the Made Festival? »SM: It’s been on my mind since I found out I was accepted in July. I’ve been working hard on my products for the past month — I want to prepare for the best! »buzz: Where will you be set up during the festival? »SM: I will be at booth 7. Come visit!

McMahan is not the only vendor that will be at the Made Festival. Miller Woodworks, who offer several different types of iPod, iPhone and iPad docks. These docks are handcrafted from different types of wood and include speakers. Simple Little Stitches will also be attending the festival, selling home knitted scarves, pillows and bags.

Dear Home will be attending the festival, and they will be selling a variety of vintage goods. For the cat lovers out there, Kate Funk will be selling cat themed products, from calendars to cute cat pictures. Age of Whatever is a collection of metal work hand designed and crafted by Lindsey Snell and Jessica Tolbert. Finally, if you need to buy a present for a child in your life, check out EmmaLoop clothing. They offer clothes for children from ages 2-10. With all of these different types of vendors, there is something for everyone.
