Austin City Limits showcases eclectic live performances Alec Goetz The Battalion

O

nce a year for three days Austin becomes the center of the world.

At least, that’s what it feels like when Austin City Limits music festival, commonly known as ACL, returns to Zilker Park with a bill full of the latest and greatest musical acts and 75,000 adoring fans from around the country. For some, the festival is a highlight of the year.

“This is my eighth year to go to ACL,” said senior sociology major Alexandra Galewski. “I went to high school across the lake from Zilker Park and we could always hear the bands sound checking the morning of ACL Friday. It’s my absolute favorite time of the year.”

This year the sold-out festival’s headliners include modern favorites such as The Black Keys, Florence

and the Machine and Jack White. Old-school legends Neil Young, Iggy Pop and the Stooges will also headline at the festival.

Throw in a selection of bands ranging from electro-pop superstars M83 to soul sensations The Alabama Shakes to South African freak-rap trio Die Antwoord and the festival can cater to nearly everyone.

With so many acts to choose from, music fans with a diverse palate often find that the hardest part of Austin City Limits, or any other music festival, is deciding what artists to see and which ones to skip. Depending on what kind of music fans want to see, some of those decisions will all but be made for them (it’s doubtful that too many people will be torn between The Black Keys and AVICII on Friday night, for example), but things aren’t always so clear-cut.

Sarvesh Kaslay Special to The Battalion Speaker at the United Nations, actor in “The Sopranos,” TV host, writer and Eagle Scout, this is Christopher Stephen Peter Bashinelli at 25 years old.

Chris Bashinelli, or Bash, visited Texas A&M Wednesday to inaugurate the 2012 Delta Gamma lecture series.

Emma Itria, senior accounting major and primary coordinator for the event, said Chris was chosen after much discussion because they wanted someone who felt strongly about their message.

“When I saw videos of Chris speaking while I was initially researching speakers, his passion was the first thing that stuck out to me,” Itria said. “His message of doing what you are passionate

Actor and producer Chris Bashinelli speaks to students on values and ethics as part of the Delta Gamma’s Lectureship Wednesday night in the MSC Ballroom. about in life is something we felt would be great to share with our University.”

Even though a majority of Bashinelli’s accomplishments are not relatable to everyone, Itria said Bashinelli’s message can still apply directly to students.

“Being in college, I think many people reach a point where they must decide what path to take with their life,” Itria said.

“Sometimes that means doing what is practical and sometimes

that means doing what you love.

I think Chris is a great example that you don’t have to always choose between the two.”

Speaking to a crowded auditorium, Bashinelli reiterated the importance of following one’s dream. “No Matter What,” was the reoccurring motif of the night.

“No matter what adversity you face, do not lose sight of the goal See Bashinelli on page 4

Special to The Battalion Drowning in a sea of mainstream music, it can be difficult for new artists to find a place to grow in the spotlight.

But for the Texas Country duo Rosehill, scheduled to play Saturday at the Lakeside Icehouse on Lake Bryan, heads have started to turn and show interest.

“They’ve grabbed my attention,” said junior architecture major Brian Sowell. “I like their style a lot. It’s definitely Texas Country.”

Rosehill was established in 2009 when vocalists Blake Myers and Mitch McBain, best friends and natives of Cyprus, Texas, went to Nashville and were encouraged by music producer Radney Foster to become a duo.

Rosehill then released their first album, “White Lines and Stars,” in 2010. Their single “Dream It All Over Again,” became a No. 5 hit on the Texas Music Chart and the music video debuted on Country Music Television — as did another music video for the song “Midnight America.”

“Crooked Thoughts,” Rosehill’s second album, is set to release Oct. 30. Myers emphasized the desire to make a record of strong and diverse songs.

“This record has a little bit of everything,” Myers said.

“We wanted to put together a complete record.”

Myers said they write many of their own songs and See Rose Hill on page 4

nation Mother glues toddler’s hands A mother who admitted to beating her 2-year-old daughter and gluing the child’s hands made a plea for leniency Wednesday, saying she was no longer the “monster” who committed the attack. Police say Escalona lost her temper last year with Jocelyn Cedillo over potty training problems.

Escalona beat and kicked Jocelyn before sticking her hands to an apartment wall using an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue. The child was hospitalized for days. Judge Larry Mitchell has a wide range in choosing Escalona’s sentence: Anything from probation to life in prison is possible.

Prosecutors are asking for a 45-year sentence. N’Duka then asked Escalona whether she thought she was a monster.

“When that happened, I was,” Escalona replied. Escalona asked Mitchell for an opportunity to show she had changed, adding that she would accept any sentence as fair.

Acclaimed journalists confront counter-terrorism Jon Cooley Special to The Battalion New York Times journalists Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt — a twotime winner of the Pulitzer Prize — held a lecture and book signing for their work, “Counterstrike: The Untold Story of America’s Secret Campaign Against al-Qaeda,” in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center on Wednesday.

Students representing the Corps of Cadets, citizens of Bryan-College Station and a group of students hailing from Sam Houston State University gathered to listen to the two journalists share stories of involvement overseas and talk about America’s response and changes in the War on Terror.

“Our book is really casting an eye back at the last ten years of America’s counter terrorism efforts and then looking ahead to where we are today,” Shanker said.

Schmitt and Shanker traded back and forth and delved into several aspects of their books talking about America after 9/11, presidents, the growth and importance of cyber warfare and the ever-changing battlefield that America faces. They refered to the constant dynamics of trying to keep up with the enemy through U.S. counter-terrorism as “New Darwinism.”

Schmitt and Shanker also talked

about how the U.S. returned to Cold War-era theories in the fight against al-Qaeda, such as cutting off business ties and cash flow.

“In our book, we give several examples of how some of this idea of deterring and understanding the [terrorist] network really starts to be applied in the field,” Schmitt said.

It was these deterrents that systematically helped stop al-Qaeda from launching subsequent attacks post-9/11.

Shanker discussed President George W. Bush’s initial hesitancy to use deterrents because the deterrents were originally thought to be defensive and not a direct assault on the Taliban.

Bush was convinced that these deterrents worked and would become an offensive weapon.

Shanker said his main thoughts in writing the book were his wife, the U.S. Army and Johnny Cash. He wanted to write a book that would inform the average American of what their government was doing. Citing that it is an American right for the people to know what the U.S. government is doing in the peoples’ name.

Members of the audience included Cole Harris and head drum major Michael Froebel, Harris and Froebel are both seniors in the Aggie Band and will graduate as second lieutenants in

the U.S. Army.

“It was a great opportunity to hear an expert’s opinion on international issues,” Froebel said.

Harris and Froebel said it was a positive experience to hear methods and tactics that they have been discussing in the Corps, explained in the writers’ presentation.

“It’s great to see the media side on counter-terrorism,” Harris said.

In the end, Schmitt and Shanker both agreed that America will be attacked again.

Schmitt said with all the advances and deterrents that have been put in place, the chance of another 9/11 is lower than ever before. But, he said the next attack may be upon the American economy and the average American psyche.

Shanker is a Pentagon correspondent for the New York Times with a focus in military operations and has been on several trips to the Middle East. He has also worked directly with U.S. Special Forces in some locations.

Schmitt is also a Pentagon correspondent for the New York Times, but focuses on national security. He has made several trips overseas to countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia, and embedded with U.S. troops during the First Gulf War.

MAILCALL From Matthew Wey, mathematics

graduate student In response to the column “Half a percent” by John Rangel, published Tuesday: You claim a NASA budget of $17.7 billion is too little, I say it’s too much — $17.7 billion too much. The question is not to whom the money should be allocated, but whether it should be collected in the first place. Government should refrain from activity where private enterprise is capable; an over-involved government leads to quarreling over the equity of the distribution.

Indeed, to compare the budgets of NASA and the Departments of Energy and Education (a more reasonable

comparison would have been to the National Science Foundation at $7 billion) shows displeasure with the slice each receives of the budget pie, but ignores the more pressing questions: are we worried about the size of the slice, or the size of the pie? Is this an activity in which government should be involved?

Additionally, to assert a lack of funding means NASA’s milestones are unimportant is erroneous. In fact, the opposite is true: NASA has paved the way for private investment to blossom, most notably the recent success of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule. We should take heart in the fact that where private enterprise has entered, it’s time for government to exit.

the nature of affirmative action and questioned whether UT’s use of race in undergraduate admissions is constitutional. Abigail Fisher, a white, 22-year-old woman and recent graduate of Louisiana State University, was denied admission to the University of Texas in 2008. Fisher said her race was used against her when she applied. Three-quarters of college applicants are admitted in Texas under the Top 10 percent policy.

The New York Times reports the Top 10 percent program has produced substantial racial and ethnic diversity in Texas colleges. Fisher missed the Top 10 percent admissions policy and was evaluated on her academics and other factors that include race and ethnicity. Texas A&M discontinued its affirmative actions admissions policy in 1996 after a federal appellate court struck down a more explicit affirmative action practice by UT.

year,” said Galewsky. “I usually look and see if they’ll be playing in Texas soon, or if I know they tour around here often, then I’ll go with the other choice. There’s always someone you want to see a little more.”

Indie music fans will have an especially tough time with Saturday’s schedule, which puts Metric’s refined rock against the gently weird folk stylings of Andrew Bird in the afternoon and indie darlings The Shins up against everyone’s favorite late night house band, The Roots.

Going to ACL takes a little bit of preparation.

Bringing a water bottle along to take advantage of the free water stations scattered around the park is a must and so is a bottle of strong sunscreen. The festival also recommends bringing a bike to ride to and from the park and avoid the long bus and taxi lines after the day’s tunes are over.

Some festival-goers take extra measures to get ready for the weekend, such as planning out their schedule on the festival’s website or assembling a playlist consisting of bands playing during the weekend.

“The main reason I made a playlist is to help me discover the bands that I plan to fill the empty space in my schedule with,” said senior

10.11.2012 bioenvironmental science major Jack Kelly, whose ACL playlist is around nine hours long. “A great playlist has a few songs from each band that you plan on seeing.”

Austin City Limits isn’t just a big deal for fans.

Austin locals may hate seeing their city smothered in tourists for a weekend, but the festival brings in big business for the capitol city.

Last year’s festival was estimated to have an economic impact of more than $100 million dollars, and this year’s festival is expected to do even better.

A recent deal between the city and ACL producers C3 Presents expanded next year’s festival to two weekends, a move that might just double the money brought in by the music extravaganza. The economic impact of the festival doesn’t matter much to most fans though.

To them, it’s all about the music and quirky sense of community that Austin does so well.

“ACL is like Christmas, it’s that one time a year that reminds me that life is magical,” said senior biomedical science major Bre Breaux.

“It’s the bands, buts it’s also the people. You’re bonded by a love of music ... and sweat, a lot of sweat.”

the songs are inspired by life experiences. Rosehill’s most recent single, “When The Flame Goes Out,� is one such example. “‘When The Flame Goes Out’ is about relationships that you go through before you find the person you’re supposed to be with,�

Myers said.

Jaret King, sophomore agricultural communications and journalism major, said he likes the song. “It sounds like something Eli Young or Randy Rodgers would sing,� King said. “I love the lyrics and the instrumental. You know you’re listening to a country song when you hear it.�

in your life,� Bashinelli said.

Reminiscing about the fascinating incidents he experienced during his travels, Bashinelli enthralled the audience with his tales. He took listeners through his journey from Tanzania to Indonesia. He interspersed his speech with videos featuring the different people he met, who have had an impact on him in some way.

He also spoke of all the fun experiences he had while being a part of a different culture.

Bashinelli met famous personalities with varied backgrounds, from conservationist Jane Goodall to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon. “It is you who has to take the first step to get where you want to,� Bashinelli said.

on the road touring and they enjoy playing in College Station.

Myers said he is a lifetime Aggie fan and College Station is his home away from home. As a child, he came to Texas A&M tailgates and football games with his family and also spent time going to school in College Station.

McBain said he also holds an appreciation for Aggieland. “The people and students in College Station are just awesome,� McBain said. “They have a love for country music, and you can’t just get that anywhere.�

Rosehill will play Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Lakeside Icehouse on Lake Bryan. This is the band’s third time in Bryan-College Station in the last two months after playing with the Josh Abbot Band in August and playing at Ziegfest in September.

Barbara Broyle, director of lectureship at the Delta Gamma sorority, said she was pleased with the message Bashinelli sent to the audience. “The lecture was very good and the message that Mr. Chris Bashinelli is spreading ties in perfectly to the values and ethics theme of the night,� Broyle said.

The Delta Gamma lectureship series was started in the celebration of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Paul Martin and Dorothy “Dotty� Garrett Martin in 1992. This lectureship emphasizes on speeches on the themes of values and ethics. To have the opportunity to establish a Delta Gamma Lectureship at Texas A&M, the chapter raised $50,000 and the Martin family donated another $50,000 to establish a $100,000 lectureship with the Texas A&M Foundation.
