11 THINGS

STUDENT LIFE V

intage is the future, and vinyl records are here to stay (and grow). This technology, which dates back to the 19th century, has been on the rise since its resurgence in the early 2010s. Vinyl sales are especially high every April during Record Store Day, an annual celebration of the very establishments that keep this trend alive, well and musically vivid. So, prepare your turntable, throw a record on and read on to see what every vinyl enthusiast must know.

#11 • RECORD AND TURNTABLE INVENTED:

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 21, 2019

About Vinyl Records THALIA M. ESPAÑA • COLLEGE TIMES

copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s unreleased album, “Once Upon A Time in Shaolin,” which sold for $2 million. The second most expensive vinyl is “The Beatles” (commonly known as “The White Album”), which sold for nearly $790,000.

#8 • BEETHOVEN:

The first LP vinyl recording was of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony performed by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski in 1931, when RCA Victor released the first version of the long-playing record for home use through Program Transcription discs.

In 1857, Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville invented the earliest known sound recording device, called the phonautograph which could not play the noise back. Thomas Edison paved the way for today’s record player when he invented the phonograph that recorded and played sound back in 1877. It inscribed audio to tinfoil wrapped along a cardboard cylinder for playback.

#7 • RECORDS IN SPACE:

#10 • THE “VINYL REVIVAL”:

#6 • DIFFERENT COLOR, DIFFERENT SOUND:

In the late 1990s, CD and MP3 technology was on the rise as vinyl record sales decreased. Vinyl was proclaimed dead. The early 2010s played a significant role in its resurgence. Billboard describes U.S. record sales in 2017 to have reached a “Nielson Music-Era high,” with a total record sale of 14.32 million, which was up by 9 percent from the previous year. Sales rose an additional 15 percent in 2018 .

#9 • WU-TANG CLAN:

The most expensive vinyl record is the only

The NASA Voyager I and II spacecrafts’ version of a time capsule contains what is known as the Golden Record that was created to communicate “the story of our world [Earth] to extraterrestrials.” The 12-inch, gold-plated copper disk contains images, music, sounds and greetings from Earth.

There is an ongoing debate among loyal record collectors. Some say colored vinyl degrades quicker than the original black vinyl, therefore resulting in weaker sound quality. However, colored vinyl can be a collector’s favorite as they are rare.

#5 • THE LARGEST RECORD STORES: Amoeba Records in Los Angeles claims to be the largest independent record store at 24,000 square feet. It houses over 100,000 CDs, vinyl

records, cassettes, DVDs, laser discs and more. In Shibuya, Tokyo, Tower Records rises to the top with its nine-story facility at 53,820 square feet.

#4 • THE LARGEST PERSONAL COLLECTION:

Brazilian businessman Zero Freitas is known to have the biggest personal vinyl record collection with 6 million in safe storage. Freitas plans to curate his collection into a public archive.

#3 • INNER-GROOVE DISTORTION:

Many artists who produce vinyl records put their best, loudest songs on the outer edge of the record because there, the quality is clearer and. Known as inner-groove distortion, this causes sound from the innermost part of the vinyl to have a more unclear, muffled sound.

#2 • THE MILLENNIAL REVIVAL:

On average, it is the younger generations—not nostalgic Baby Boomers—who are credited for bringing vinyl back. About 50 percent of vinyl record customers are younger than 35 and claim to find a unique experience in record listening and physical ownership.

#1 • THE FIRST RECORD STORE DAY

was on April 19, 2008, during which Metallica spent hours meeting fans at the Rasputin Music record store. Since then, it has become a day when many musical artists, big and small, visit record stores for performances, signings and meet and greets with the local, vinyl-loving communities. CT

SHE’S ROYALTY

ASU’S BROOKE SMITH CROWNED 2019 CAVE CREEK RODEO QUEEN CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 21, 2019

SU freshman Brooke Smith vividly remembers her first rodeo. She was “super little,” and with her family in Prescott for the seven-day Frontier Days. “We’ve always gone since I was young,” the Tempe native says. “That’s where I learned about trick riders and rodeo queens. I’ve always loved horses and that’s when I decided I needed to learn about rodeo, I wanted to get into it really badly”. She was so overwhelmed she asked her family to help her learn. Now, Smith has been riding horses for 11 years and became involved in the sport of rodeo in 2014. She is the current Cave Creek Rodeo Days queen, alongside her friend, Teen Queen winner Rylee Anforth. Cave Creek Rodeo Days is Friday, March 22, to Sunday, March 24. In its 42nd year, with Sanderson Ford as the 2019 title sponsor, the event will take place at Cave Creek Memorial Arena with three PRCA rodeo performances featuring top-ranking Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association contestants. Cave Creek Rodeo Days Queen and Teen Queen contestants were judged on their horsemanship, personality and appearance. In addition, they were required to communicate a strong understanding of rodeo. Smith and Anforth will travel the Turquoise Circuit, representing Cave Creek Rodeo Days at events throughout the Southwest during the remainder of 2019 and into early 2020. “My goal is to be a great ambassador for the sport of rodeo, and our rodeo in particular,” says Smith, who just turned 19. “We travel all over the state, representing rodeo and helping teach people about rodeos.” Smith graduated from Marcos de Niza High School in Tempe in 2018 and is now studying psychology. Smith participated in the Southwest Arizona Sisters Inc. Equestrian Drill Team from

2014 to 2018. She is now part of the Copper State Renegades Equestrian Drill Team. She enjoys competing in rodeo royalty programs and was named Copper Dust Stampede Senior Teen Rodeo Queen in 2015 and 2016, Lost Dutchman Days Senior Teen Rodeo Queen in 2017 and Sonoita Rodeo Queen in 2018. Smith received an Educational Scholarship Award, Cave Creek Rodeo Days belt buckle and other prizes. Anforth received a Cave Creek Rodeo Days belt buckle and other prizes. “I’ve always loved rodeo and have been fascinated by the queens,” Smith says. “I’m excited to be part of the community and help represent the people of Cave Creek as best I can.” “It’s been such an incredible journey. I’m the only one in my family who does horses. There’s a lot of preparation and studying that goes into it. It’s not just general rodeo knowledge. It’s the community, the town’s history, the rodeo’s history. My friends and I are rodeo queens and we study for the title. They’ll give us patterns, and we’ll practice horsemanship.” Smith has high hopes for 2020. “I’m hopefully going to go to Ms. Rodeo Arizona,” she says. “That’s my next plan, then I’ll hopefully keep competing with my drill team.” If her plans don’t come to fruition, Smith won’t be too upset. After all, everything happens for a reason. “It sounds cheesy, but I say believe and support yourself and try not to be so hard on yourself,” she says when asked what she would tell other contestants. “You can better yourself and learn from experience. Even if you don’t win, practice. It helps you get better.” Cave Creek Rodeo, Cave Creek Memorial Arena, 37201 N. 28th Street, Cave Creek, 480.304.5634, cavecreekrodeo.com, various times Friday, March 22, to Sunday, March 24, $22 in advance.

People of all ages were laughing, singing and dancing to their favorite rock and blues artists. By the end of the day, people were exhausted and covered with dust, but they left with smiles on their faces.

SPINNING TALES ICONIC RECORD STORE CLOSES, BUT THE PASSION REMAINS THALIA M. ESPAÑA • COLLEGE TIMES

leven years ago, TJ Jordan opened Revolver Records on Roosevelt Row and built a community of fellow music lovers around this “vinyl-centric” store. The store has since shuttered, but Jordan witnessed the fluctuating landscape of the vinyl record industry and says records were a “novelty for people who were really into music” at the time. That is where it has all stemmed from for Jordan: a love for music that he says is not just something he adores, but rather something he is. “There is nothing that is more me than music,” Jordan says. “There was never a time where it was separate from who I am. You could say it’s a passion, but it’s just a way of life.” Although he says there was no such thing as a record resurgence for those who have always loved records, he says Revolver Records opened at the right time without forethought. “Coincidentally, in 2009, 2010, 2011, the Record Store Day helped bring records back into the consciousness,” Jordan says. “It has kind of died off a little bit from where it was. It’s back to people being collectors. It’s back to people who really care about it, which is nice.” Jordan says Revolver Records was never about making money or following a resurgence trend, but rather about the experience in owning and listening to a record. “If you were an author, you would want your book to come out as a book with a nice jacket, nice cover, feel,” Jordan says. “People say things like ‘records sound best,’ but that’s not what it’s about. The experience of putting on a record and looking at its cover and owning it … owning and collecting records is absolutely natural if you’re a real music lover.”

The end of an era

A new, natural experience Jordan is at peace with his new record and coffee shop called Mojave Coffee + Records, which aims to bring back a love and appreciation for art. Through this new space, Jordan says he wants to celebrate the individuality in creativity as a place to cultivate it. Named after the Mojave Desert at Joshua Tree, Jordan says he wants to create an “artistic oasis in the middle of the shallow desert that we call the modern age of technology.” Tucked away with a clear view of Camelback Mountain, Mojave sits at just 600 square feet compared to the 2,000 square feet of Revolver. The warm browns, yellows and orange colors in the shop are immediately noticeable through the wood that lines the walls and the furniture that fills the room. It is all about the natural tones as Jordan aims to create a space that connects back to nature to be “off the grid” with things that are wood, Earthy, glass. Handmade. Plants. Things that are more natural. As Jordan says, things that are the opposite of the hectic atmosphere of Revolver. “What we do here is real. The experience is real. Conversation is real,” Jordan says. “I wanted to do something that was more representative of real life.” Revolver Records was busy work. Jordan says it is not

a new phase of his career with the opening of Mojave Coffee +

the most “stress-free job” as it was centered on the business, instead of the artists. With this change, Jordan hopes to change the quality of the records he sells through careful curation. He says carrying 25,000 records is no longer important, but rather it is about curating records that are in good shape. Jordan says records encompass multiple art forms that few appreciate. “Art in its simplistic way is taking in the world, processing it through your brain and putting it out through your craft,” Jordan says. “Your craft could be painting, your craft could be photography, your craft could be poetry, your craft could be writing. For me, nothing is as magical.” Using Jimi Hendrix’s 1967 album “The Jimi Hendrix Experience Axis: Bold as Love” with a Hindu-inspired cover, Jordan says there is art in every part of the record packaging. He says the artwork is enough to get someone interested in listening to it as it is a part of the process. “This is an absolute work of art,” Jordan says. “This is what’s cool about records, that it’s more than the music.” Jordan set it into the record player, appreciating it’s sound and artwork, demonstrating the real experiences he wants others to have at Mojave, especially as the landscape of the vinyl record industry has quieted down again. “It’s like art. It is art. It’s an artistic thing. It’s about getting back to displaying art the way that I think it should be displayed,” Jordan says. “And by the way, how many Tweets did Jimi Hendrix send out? None. How many Facebook posts did he send out? None. That stuff is an illusion. It’s dumb.” With the Jimi Hendrix iconic guitar riffs blasting in the background, Jordan says, “This is going to last forever. An eternity.” Mojave Coffee + Records, 4747 E. Thomas Road, Suite A, Phoenix, 480.794.0341, mojavecoffeeaz.com. CT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 21, 2019

To Jordan, it has always been about the art within the art and how people experience it differently. This was especially significant based the arts district in which it was located, but Jordan says that art district slowly died away as it became a “condo district.” It was the end of an era when Revolver Records officially closed February 1. Jordan says it was due to gentrification that also led to a change in the community around it. “The real reason why Revolver closed was because there was a decision back in 2014 to revitalize the Roosevelt Row from Central to Seventh Street. When the city greenlit that project, they greenlit condos,” Jordan says. “A small little place like me had signed leases based on a certain community that was there, and the construction and the subsequent condos changed the demographics of the community, (and people) were coming down less. “For instance, let’s say there is an older gentleman from Glendale who liked to shop at record stores. He didn’t want to come to downtown anymore because it wasn’t cool. Condos are not cool. Art galleries are cool. Record stores are cool. Cool restaurants are cool. Condos are not cool.” However, a piece of Revolver Records lives on in the heart of downtown, just a few miles away. As Jordan said goodbye to his record shop, he donated some of the remaining inventory to the Trunk Space, a nonprofit arts organization. Now the Trunk Space runs a mini record shop open during shows. Records are sold for $2. Trunk Space co-founder and board president Stephanie Carrico says music can build a community.

“Art makes you healthier, regardless of the type of art you make,” Carrico says. “It gives you an outlet.” As music lovers find their passion in many different forms, they are all brought together through music. “A lot of the people that come here obviously have an interest in music because they’re here to see live music a majority of the time,” Carrico says. “In the old space, we had a couple of record racks, and the one thing people complained about this space is that they often said, ‘we miss the records.’ It’s the one thing that people seemed to miss the most about the old space.” When a small room inside the Trunk Space freed up, Carrico sought to transform it into a mini record store, and says Jordan was really excited to share what he could with them. “I’m glad that we can do that,” Carrico says. “It’s really sad to see Revolver go. It feels like one of the last remaining pieces of TJ Jordan entered old Roosevelt. I’m glad that there will be a Records. place for people who do like to look through records, a place downtown to go and still look through records.” With 2,500 records in the mini store, the goal is to provide a space for new discoveries, especially as the Trunk Space is about giving the “outcasts” a platform in the music scene. This can now include new discoveries in the records. “I think it’s a good addition because it fits in with music in general,” Carrico says. “It is a chance for people to discover new things that they maybe didn’t know about. Just like if you’re here to see your friend’s band, there’s usually three or four acts in a night, and if you stick around you might see another band that you really liked that you didn’t know anything about. You can get the same experience from the little record store.”

AT YOUR SERVICE: CAREERS IN THE CONCIERGE FIELD

ALISON BAILIN BATZ • COLLEGE TIMES

ospitality is a massive field. One of its coolest career paths: being a concierge. Not only are leaders in this industry the eyes and ears of their respective hotel property, but the ambassadors for their cities and the entire state for guests and residents. They move mountains to make Arizona shine – and to help their guests experience moments of a lifetime. Here are four unlikely stories on how some of the Valley’s best got their starts:

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 21, 2019

Remember the Nintendo Power Pad? I loved that thing. It got me into gaming in such a major way. I initially studied computer science as a result. However, I was into the art of designing more than the math and science, especially the complex algorithms and binary codes. I needed something that allowed me to attend classes by day, so I took a night position at a Fairfield Inn in Chandler. After a few months, I was offered an assistant manager position. Even after earning my degree, I couldn’t leave hospitality. I loved it more than the power pad! So, I joined Hotel Valley Ho in 2007 and then the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in 2009. Since, I did it all at some of the biggest and best restaurants and resorts over the past year, then came back to the Princess in 2018 to lead our concierge team, where we do it all from transforming our lagoon into a fishin’ hole for kids to putting on full-scale, multimonth events such as Christmas at the Princess and Summer at the Princess.

Darvá Fields, guest loyalty relations at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Born in Kansas in the 1960s and

raised in New Mexico in the 1970s, I got into banking after high school, which eventually took me to Colorado in the early 1980s. While engaged, my fiancé was transferred to Arizona, so we made our way here in 1987.

WINNING STREAK

POSTSEASON COULD BE IN THE BOOKS FOR FLAWLESS SUN DEVILS BASEBALL GRIFFIN FABITS • COLLEGE TIMES

undled up fans spilled into Phoenix Municipal Stadium to watch the Arizona State baseball team win its 16th consecutive game, improving to 16-0 with a 7-3 win over New Mexico State on March 13. The 6:30 p.m. first pitch was paired with a mid-60s degree chill, and the temperature crudely fell as the night progressed. But these days – rain or shine or cold or warm – there’s an urgency to watch Sun Devils baseball. An urgency that was lost the previous two seasons. The Sun Devils’ flawless start to the regular season is good and one of the best starts in program history. They are the No. 25-ranked team in Division I, according to the NCAA, the first time ASU has cracked the rankings since 2016. They also find themselves atop the Pac-12 Conference standings. After consecutive losing seasons with 23-32 records – which checked out as the worst two-year stretch in program history – Tempe appears to be host to a baseball school once more. “I’m proud of our guys,” manager Tracy Smith says following ASU’s win over New Mexico State. “I thought they battled tonight on the mound.” In Smith’s fifth season at the helm of the program, he likely possesses the most stacked roster he’s had in his Tempe tenure. Through 16 games, the Sun Devils are averaging 10.5 runs per game. They are powered at the top of the lineup courtesy of sluggers Trevor Hauver, Spencer Torkelson and Hunter Bishop. The sophomore Torkelson is coming off a historic freshmen campaign in which he swatted 25 home runs, breaking Barry Bonds’ ASU single-season record for most home runs by a freshman. Torkelson is batting .379 this spring with two home runs and 20 RBI. Paired with Torkelson in the meat of the Sun Devils order is the junior Bishop, who has hit practically everything that has been thrown his way. He’s batting .452 with a team-leading 10 home runs, 25 RBI and a double-takeworthy slugging percentage of 1.048. To put his dominance into perspective, he’s homered as many times as he’s struck out this season. Bishop homered twice versus New Mexico State, while also robbing a three-run home run from straightaway center field. “That was a four-run swing,” Smith says, reasoning that Bishop singlehandedly kept three runs off the board with the catch while adding his solo home run. When you have a formidable one-two punch in the middle of the order, it’s important you have table setters in front of them, guys who can reach base and set the table for the big boys. Hauver has excelled in doing just that this season, owning a .391 batting average and a .500 on-base percentage. He leads the team with 16 walks, and trails Bishop for the home run lead. Hauver, a sophomore hailing from Chandler, hit his sixth home run of the season versus the Aggies. The Sun Devils have been a nightmare for opposing pitching staffs. They boast the nation’s second-best offense, with a .354 team batting average, a .567 slugging percentage and 161 runs scored. March 13 was just the sixth time the Sun Devils have been held to single-digits this season, a snapshot of the night-in, night-out power display. “I don’t think you win championships by your offense, I think you win championships by your pitching and your defense,” Smith says. To counter Smith’s point, what’s been equally as impressive as the offensive corps has been ASU’s pitching staff.

Erik Tolman ASU Baseball, pitching And it just so happens they hushed the nation’s best offense – the New Mexico State Aggies – in win No. 16. The Aggies bat .403 and score an average of 13.3 runs per game. But against the Sun Devils, they managed a mere three runs on seven hits. The revival of the Sun Devils’ pitching staff has been instrumental in bringing competitive baseball back to Tempe. Two summers ago, ASU hired former Major League pitcher Mike Cather as the team’s pitching coach. Since Cather’s arrival, ASU pitching has been stingy to opposing hitters. This spring, they’ve masterfully thrown to the tune of a 2.16 ERA, striking out 148 hitters while walking just 58 in 146 innings. They’ve held hitters to an average residing just above the Mendoza Line at .213. What might be most encouraging to Cather is that the Sun Devils are getting contributions from nearly everyone in the bullpen. Of the nine relievers who have logged at least seven innings this season, eight have ERAs under 4.00. Junior starting pitcher Alec Marsh has been arguably the Sun Devils’ best arm, throwing a team-high 28.2 IP with a squeaky-clean 0.94 ERA, 30 punchouts and eight walks. The Sun Devils are vying for their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2016, led by Smith and Cather and an impressive supporting cast. Another crack at the first NCAA Tournament championship title since 1981 won’t be decided until June. And expectations and the excitement surrounding the chances of capturing a College World Series title will surely be tempered until then, but for now, the Sun Devils couldn’t be more pleased with their flawless start to this season.

JOSH KENNEDY THE BLACK MOODS

A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLISTS OF PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

he Black Moods singer/guitarist Josh Kennedy was bred in the most unlikely of spots for a rock singer—tiny Wheaton, Missouri, in the Ozarks, where his brain was filled with Southern rock and country. “They didn’t have MTV,” he says. “This one day I was in my room playing and my dad says, ‘Hey Bub—he calls me Bub—come check out this band.’ It was the Gin Blossoms playing ‘Hey Jealousy’ on an awards show.” That began a long-standing love affair with music and the Gin Blossoms. He soon packed his bags and moved to the Valley with the hopes of working with the Gin Blossoms, with whom The Black Moods recently wrapped up a tour. Moreover, The Black Moods were formed shortly after Kennedy moved here. With his longtime bandmates, drummer Chico Diaz and bassist Jordan Hoffman, Kennedy has found success with the singles “Bella Donna” and “Bad News.” “It’s a stalker song,” Kennedy says about “Bad News.” “It’s more of a modern-day, Facebook-style stalking song. You can find anyone by the places they check in and completely stalk them by their online presence.” To stalk The Black Moods, visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/TheBlackMoods. Read on to learn more about the music that motivates and inspires Kennedy.

TOP SIX FAVORITE SONGS This was difficult to narrow down. It’s a forever-changing list. These reflect my current mood, though. “Thank You,” Led Zeppelin I actually got into Zeppelin later than most. I was listening to Gin Blossoms and Stone Temple Pilots before I really started listening to Zeppelin heavily. This is one of the most romantic songs ever. I like it because it’s such a simple song. I have been playing that song since I was in high school, and then the Moods were asked to contribute to a Zeppelin tribute record with a bunch of other up and coming artists a year or so ago called “Dazed And Confused.” We couldn’t think of a better one to do. It says so much with so little. “Zeppelin II” is such a great record.

“Mercy Mercy Me” Marvin Gaye This song, even though it’s talking about all the s**t that’s wrong with the world, still makes you feel good. The groove is amazing. It’s from the record “What’s Goin’ On.” The entire album has such a good feeling and vibe, but this is definitely a stand-out track. “Fairweather Friends” Queens of the Stone Age I love everything about this song. From the album “.......Like Clockwork.” The changes in this song are so epic and weird, it makes you play it again right after you hear it. It’s so intense. The lineup of musicians on it doesn’t hurt, either—Dave Grohl on drums and Elton John on piano. It also has one of the coolest lines ever, “Drink wine and screw is all we’ll do, every day.” Ha. Ha. The way it is delivered is brilliant. Josh Homme is on our producer wish list. “I Me Mine” The Beatles Such a good song about being possessive. Could be about love or drug addiction, or both. The way it changes time is great. Written by George Harrison for the album “Let It Be,” it’s one of his best. We had a pool table in the band house that we spent a lot of time around. This song found us from listening to vinyl and playing pool. It’s more of an obscure Beatles song. Definitely an underappreciated track off that album.

PREFERRED WAY OF LISTENING AND WHY?

Vinyl is our go-to. However, traveling with our record collection and a record player

on tour just doesn’t work. So, when we are back and in the studio, it’s what we listen to. Because we are always on tour, we rarely get the chance to listen to vinyl, which makes us appreciate it that much more.

DESERT ISLAND ALBUM “Animals” by Pink Floyd.

WHAT ARTIST WOULD PROVIDE THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE ABOUT YOUR LIFE? Tom Petty. I kind of feel like he already did.

FAVORITE SONG BY AN ARIZONA-BASED ARTIST? That’s not easy to narrow down either. So many great songs have been written by Arizona bands. I have two. “Found Out About You” by the Gin Blossoms and “Green and Dumb” by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. The Gin Blossoms have meant so much to me. They are the reason I relocated to Tempe in the first place. This is just such a beautiful song and painted such a perfect picture of someone you knew (or thought you knew) fell in love with, then found out who they really are. It’s intense but very poetic It puts you right there and you can feel the situation. Love the Gin Blossoms. “Green and Dumb” is such a great song. It paints a perfect picture of outside looking in—literally. The lyrics put you there, wanting like he is. It gets me every time. It’s such a beautiful song. Both bands mean so much to us. Not just because of the great tunes but they have both been so important to us and our career. We owe a lot to both of these bands.

GO-TO GUILTY PLEASURE TRACK OR CLASSIC KARAOKE TUNE? “When I’m With You” by Sheriff is such an iconic ’80s hit. My love for it might have a lot to do with the movie “Joe Dirt.” Ha. Ha. It’s Brandy’s theme song. It’s such a perfect introduction for a love interest in a movie. When she comes riding up on that horse and that song hits.... holy s**t. CT

MELINDA’S ALLEY

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 21, 2019

“So Far Away” Carole King I’m a big fan of “SNL” and the real early shows with the original cast like John Belushi and Gilda Radner from the 1970s. For Christmas, when I was a kid, my parents would get me “The Best of Saturday Night Live” on DVD and Carole was a musical guest. She did this song with James Taylor. It’s always stuck with me. Lately, I’ve been wearing her album “Tapestry” out. We are on the road so much, this always reminds me of home and the people and things you miss. The first line of the song PHOTO • JIM LOUVAU just sets the whole The Black Moods are, from left, bassist Jordan Hoffman, singer/guitarist tone of it. She’s Josh Kennedy and drummer Chico Diaz. amazing.

“4 Days” Counting Crows This is from their third record “This Desert Life.” It was produced by David Lowery from the band Cracker. The micing technique he used on this record and recording to analog tape makes this entire record really stick out, especially this song. The harmonies on it are fantastic. I’m from a really small town of 600 people in Missouri, and hadn’t been anywhere really when the record came out. There’s a line in it that says, “Have you seen Ohio rise?” I always wondered what that meant. Now that we’ve been through Ohio more times than I can count, I think I know what Adam Durtiz is talking about.

HITTING THE RIGHT CHORDS ASU FRESHMAN EDDIE EBERLE PURSUES HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A MUSICIAN MIRANDA CYR • COLLEGE TIMES

SU freshman Eddie Eberle is making his mark on the music industry as the lead vocalist and guitarist of his newly dubbed band Eddie Eberle and the Getaway. Formerly known as Analog Outlaws, the group won the university’s Battle of the Bands contest in February and opened for Galantis at Devilpalooza. Fronting a band was Eberle’s longtime dream. He comes from a family of big U2 fans, and vintage concert footage inspired him. “I was watching them, and I think the Edge, and then also Guns ‘N Roses, too, and Slash being the guitar hero he is,” says Eberle, 18. “That’s how I really got my start in music. I bought my first guitar when I was 8 at this place called Junkyard Guitars in (Royal Oak) Michigan.” After he began, Eberle was mentored by Shane and Megan Baskerville and his guitar teacher, “Corrs.” At age 10, after moving to Arizona, Eberle joined School of Rock, an afterschool program that helps youths grow their musical talents. Once he was ranked in the top 12 School of Rock students in Arizona, he met his bandmate and drummer, Christian “Champ” Champion. “I saw him drum,” he says. “I was like, ‘Holy crap this dude’s insane.’ So, I went up to him, and it was really cool, because we had a mutual respect for what we were trying to do. And we both were impressed with each other’s drive, ability, or whatever you want to say.” Eberle decided to seriously pursue music at age 13. “That’s when I really knew, ‘Wow, I really want to do this,’” Eberle says. “Since then, we’ve played over 150 the shows around the southwest.” Eddie Eberle and the Getaway made their live debut at Devilpalooza on February 16. Keyboardist Josh Rose and bassist Milo Charbel joined the group for their first performance, as well. Eberle, Rose and Charbel are all students at ASU, while Champion is a senior at Horizon

High School. In his first year at ASU, Eberle has chosen to major in entrepreneurial business. “I knew I wanted to do I want to do something in music full time,” Eberle says. “I thought that entrepreneurial business could probably add to the music without being music so I could kind of understand the aspects of what it takes

to start a company and really take a shot at music even though it’s not directly linked to it.” ASU is rumored to be launching a popular music program, something he is excited about. “I think that that program’s really going to take ASU to the next level with performing because a lot of schools only have a jazz or classical program, but don’t have a popular music program.” Eberle is inspired by musicians like Tom Petty, the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, Jason Aldean and Keith Urban, but Tempe’s The Black Moods have served as direct mentors to Eddie Eberle and the Getaway. The Black Moods have taken him under their wing. “They were really impressed with our songs,” Eberle says. “We went into the studio with them and recorded a couple songs, which ended up being our album. (Lead singer/guitarist) Josh Kennedy really mentored me a lot with just stage presence, and really learning from him as an established artist.” The admiration is a two-way street. “He’s got a big heart,” Kennedy says. “He’s got such a supportive family, so it doesn’t get lost on Eddie. He’s very appreciative, and he knows what he’s got.” Eddie Eberle and the Getaway recently began working with producer Johnny K., who has worked with bands like The Black Moods, Disturbed, 3 Doors Down and Plain White T’s. He says the experience with Johnny K. has pushed him to step up his producing and writing skills. Eberle says his favorite part of being a musician is performing and interacting with the audience. “It’s weird, because there are so many things that could go wrong on stage,” Eberle says. “But, if you’re prepared, and you practice and everything, it’s a total Nirvana up there. You’re in complete control. And there’s nothing more than just music and interaction with people.”

THE BAND PERRY SWAPS BANJOS FOR DARK ELECTRONIC POP

CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

fter a successful career in country music, The Band Perry has switched gears to dark electronic pop. But singer Kimberly Perry is quick to add the new songs are warm, not cold and sterile as some electronic music can be. The Band Perry used analog equipment to record its five-song EP, “Coordinates,” so it doesn’t have that sterile shine or gloss. “The music is a perfect representation of what we love and who we are now,” Perry says. The Band Perry is stopping by the Coca-Cola Sun Deck at Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday, March 30, to promote “Coordinates.” Released in September 2018, the EP introduced fans to The Band Perry’s reinvented sound. The move comes after it sold more than 2.5 million albums since its No. 1 single “If I Die Young.” The Band Perry left its major label deal last summer to release music independently and to work with Rick Rubin. “We wrote and produced all the songs ourselves, but it was executive produced by Rick Rubin,” Perry says about the legendary producer. “We worked with him before, on our second album, with him and his studio in Malibu. We decided to circle back around

with him and have him curate this project. Rick serves as a compass. He experiments with a lot of different sounds with traditional roots, with a pop feel. Some of that lives in the space between.” Perry says Rubin brought forward The Band Perry’s songwriting and lyricism threads from the past but gave them a modern yet humanistic feel. “It’s a great process to filter everything through him,” she says. “He’s there to make everything better. He tightens the lyrics and tells us what’s missing; things that keep it from being the best it can.” Perry and her brothers are looking forward to the ASU concert and showing what makes their new music so special. “The boys and I spent the last couple years experimenting with our sound, and we worked really, really hard on developing the future of our sound—what that was and what our current loves are. We’re going to be playing the five new songs and all the songs that have been on the radio as well. We just play them as they would sound on ‘Coordinates.’ We have a lot of electronic instruments. They come from interesting sources like drum machines and samplers.” Perry says “You Lie,” a song off The Band Perry’s self-titled first album, is strikingly different this time around. Originally cut as a

The Band Perry is, from left, Kimberly Perry and her brothers, Reid, right, and Neil, left. “bouncy number,” “You Lie” is emotional, as a vocal/piano ballad. “We perform the songs as they’ve grown up with us,” Perry says. “It’s interesting because some older songs mean something totally new to us now. The vocals have been updated, too.” Another example is the hit “Better Dig Two,” which was built around The Band Perry’s signature banjo sound. Neil Perry, this time, samples the banjo via floppy disk. Perry admits she was a little nervous about how fans would react to the music, but she’s been pleasantly surprised.

“We’ve been really conscious about making everybody understand the intention behind the music,” she says. “In our imagery, they’re beautiful shots. I have very little makeup on, we’re out in the desert. Even though we take liberties with the sound, it’s just wonderful to see all these pieces come together.” The Band Perry, Coca-Cola Sun Deck, Sun Devil Stadium, 500 E.

TOTALLY ACCURATE PREDICTIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AQUARIUS

(JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18)

Take a look at your circle this month and be prepared to scrub the excess, if need be. You never know when there might be a snake in the bushes. No, seriously, there are desert breeds you might see on campus.

PISCES

way to make it to class when you’re hungover on a Thursday, just saying.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUGUST 22)

There are a lot of balls in the air for you this month, but be forewarned, that’s not always a good thing… especially if you’re catching a lastminute Spring Training game.

(FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20)

Respect to all the stress you’ve been dealing with, Pisces, but you’d be amazed how productive you can be with a social media hiatus. Log off and get your work done. You know, they sure had time to invent the iPhone before the iPhone was invented!

ARIES

VIRGO

(AUGUST 23- SEPTEMBER 22)

With the constant buzz of social media, you’ve been struggling to stay present. Try tracking your screen time, taking a yoga class or just saying “Present,” instead of “Here,” when your professor takes attendance – hey, sometimes it’s the small stuff!

(MARCH 21-APRIL 21)

As we near the end of the school year, spring break concludes and finals week rushes in. Instead of panicking, try getting a leg up on your studying, working with friends or calling your mom, crying and asking for money — one of the above is bound to make you feel prepared!

TAURUS

(APRIL 22-MAY 20)

Your tenacious nature makes it hard for you to keep quiet when you feel something is unjust, but in this instance, silence is key. Instead of opening your lips, keep ’em closed and put on Chapstick. You will thank us for it later. ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 21, 2019

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 21)

You’re on the cusp of a dramatic transformation, Gemini, and we don’t just mean a rampant Amazon Prime shopping spree. If you can be patient – and resist the urges of free two-day shipping – you might find yourself on the other side of a lofty goal.

CANCER

(JUNE 22-JULY 22)

The planets still find a way to align in a meteor shower, so you better find a

LIBRA

(SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22)

You know your problem, but you also know your solution. You also know what you did last summer.

SCORPIO

(OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21)

The stars are spelling out an oddly specific forecast for you this month: Stay away from juice cleanses and Tinder.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21)

Your fuse may be short, but your stubbornness is shorter. Before you go off on someone, make sure the argument is worth cleaning up the mess, otherwise take a kickboxing class and call it a day.
