LIVING THE DREAM

Hope for Undocumented Students by denise guerra Imagine coming to California as a baby, under no fault of your own your parent crossed the border illegally. As your family establishes themselves here in America, you’re able to attend elementary school, middle school and high school, working hard and getting good grades along the way. When it comes to college, you’re suddenly blocked. Since you lived in California all of your life, you decide to attend and are accepted to a University of California school. But you can’t go. Because you’re undocumented (i.e., have no social security card or legal paperwork), you are forced to pay outof-state tuition after being a Californian all of your life. You do not qualify for any financial assistance and suddenly you must work twice as hard as anyone else to pay your tuition, which is at least $10,000 more than in-state tuition. Last year, undocumented students already in college and high school students hoping to attend college were given a glimmer of hope. It came in the form of the DREAM act, legislation that would allow children of immigrants who came here illegally to be given legal status and allowed to

Campus Circle > Blogs > D-Day pay in-state tuition and receive financial aid. It’s not simple “amnesty”; those wishing to apply under the DREAM act must satisfy a long and rigorous criteria process. The criteria for legal citizenship under the DREAM act are narrowly tailored. Those wishing to obtain legal status must have: entered the country when they were under 16 years old and prove they have lived in the country for at least five years; graduated from a U.S. high school or obtained a GED; and demonstrate they have good moral character with no criminal record. Still, after completing all of these requirements, they are only given conditional legal status. There is more to be done. This includes the next phase of the process, which is to have attended college or served in the military for two years, pass a criminal background check and again demonstrate good moral character. The DREAM act has received support from President Obama and legislative leaders from both sides of the aisle. Former Arkansas Republican Governor Mike Huckabee stated on NPR, “When a kid comes to this country, and he’s four years old and he had no choice in it … The question is: Is he better off going to college and becoming a neurosurgeon or a banker or whatever he might become, and becoming a taxpayer, and in the process having to apply for and achieve citizenship, or should we make him pick tomatoes? I think it’s better if he goes to college and becomes a citizen.” After the bill passed the House last December, the DREAM died in the Senate; short of the five Senate votes it needed to pass. This was the last chance for the bill to get through Congress before having to begin the process over again after the 2012 election. Most students would be deterred by such a dire situation, but I have seen the determination and strength

PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE by mary broadbent

It’s time to prepare your vocal chords for some hooping and hollering as “Burlesqueland!!!,” another installment from Peepshow Menagerie, hits the stage on March 17. This past February, the creators behind the monthly Peepshow brought “The Science of Burlesque” to Bordello in downtown Los Angeles, and with much anticipation the crowd welcomed all 13 ladies, as they cheered hungry for glamour, entertainment and, most importantly, boobies. The show opened with the scientific professor Mr. Gelson explaining the values of science and how a few lovely ladies would be demonstrating it. There were plenty of oohs and aahs as each girl captivated and educated the audience with a scientifically themed number. The show opened with Ruby Joule performing the Northern Lights in a beautifully sequined white ensemble. Next was a scantily clad Iza La Vamp making heads turn as the planet Pluto with two enormous feather fans covering her body. Other clever acts were safe sex performed by Prix De Beaute stressing over stuffed bunnies multiplying in her underwear, and Dia Blow’s quirky and informative lesson on the Sun. As the night progressed with every striptease, each girl added her own flair and charm to the show. But what looks like a simple tease, lasting only a

of undocumented students to achieve an education despite major financial setbacks. Many had to struggle working fulltime while trying to juggle classes and homework. Some were forced to graduate later because they had to take time off of school to earn money for the next quarter or year’s tuition. Some have slept in their cars because they can’t afford housing. And many have utilized the free food pantry at UCLA. As many of you may already know, I am a big advocate of students’ access to higher education, and there is something seriously wrong when talented students who can contribute great things to this country are placed in a predicament that is beyond their control. The financial burden placed on undocumented students, coupled with rising tuition fees, is a setback to the future of this country. America was built on the back of immigrants. Young people from all backgrounds are being denied the opportunity to make a contribution to America’s future, not only monetarily through taxes, but through innovation of new ideas and skills that only higher education can cultivate.

Campus Circle > Culture > Get Up Get Out few minutes, actually takes a lot of hard work. To those unfamiliar with the concept of burlesque, there’s more than just stripping and baring almost all. As Dia Blow explains, there are themes, costumes and a lot of preparation for each woman that goes into the performance. “The Peepshow basically does a different theme every month, and it’s very open to interpretation. Some girls put their music first, some come up with an idea and then find music. I run the gamut of that,” says Dia Blow. For Dia’s number, she’d been working on the concept for well over several months. “They Might Be Giants is one of my favorite bands, and they did a remake of a song that is part of a 1960s educational video called ‘Why Does the Sun Shine?’ I’ve had this album for years, and I started listening to it and said I have to do a burlesque routine to this,” she says. For most ladies like Dia, this is a chance to unleash their imagination with each burlesque performance. “You can come up with the most ridiculous ideas and figure out how to implement them … with a glue gun,” she starts. “It’s the creativity, and the shock and wow factor that comes with getting up on stage, not necessarily the sex appeal, because you don’t know what they’re going to do next. I’ve seen people do ridiculous, unexpected things, and that’ s one of my favorite parts of burlesque. One of my least favorite parts is trying to get fake eyelashes to stay on.” Not only is this a treat for the girls on stage, but also for the producers, Chris Beyond and Scarlett Letter, who put the shows together each month. “The Peepshow Menagerie is set apart from the other burlesque shows out there because of the storylines and creativity behind it. Chris [Beyond] puts this ridiculous amount of work into making tons of posters and promotional

information getting the word out,” says Dia Blow. They also find novelty acts, from magicians to balloon artists to bands, as openers to create a special cocktail of wonder as a warm-up before the main show begins. In February, they had the cute duo Gigi and Pop sing and play the distorted ukulele and tambourine Dia Blow of Peepshow Menagerie with happy-go-luckygo-mean-go-happy songs. Also, there was a magical act from Micah Cover who created a beautiful rose with nothing but thin air, fire and his magic wand. In comparison to other burlesque shows, this is definitely one to check out, with provocative titles like “Naked Girls Reading” and “Monstergirls.” This group sets the bar high when it comes to putting on a burlesque show that leaves you wanting more. So the next time you’re looking to add a little spice to your evening or further your education in a saucy way, check out Peepshow Menagerie for something tantalizing.

USC Alum Erin Carufel by eva recinos

“Weeds” co-star Meital Dohan wants you to watch. by cindy kyungah lee

Not everyone can brag about working with Matthew McConaughey. But for actress Erin Carufel, the journey has not been all glamour and stage lights but an inherently difficult one with many closed doors. Carufel’s acting career began with her admittance to USC, where she graduated with a B.A. in Theatre. Carufel took advantage of her time at the university, participating in about 30 student productions. They helped her when it came to acting, but the reality and pitfalls of the outside world were something completely different. Though she has already starred in a variety of TV shows, including “Scrubs” and “CSI: Miami,” and films like Untraceable, the road to success turned out to be a true test of her stamina and determination. But instead of letting the difficulties of the acting world bring her down, Carufel feels the challenges helped her to grow. “It’s been a lesson in perseverance,” Carufel states. As for her newest project, Carufel admits that the set of The Lincoln Lawyer and her time acting alongside Matthew McConaughey was nothing short of enjoyable. “Matthew is warm and generous, and we had a lot of fun. He’s just every bit as charming as you’d think he’d be,” Carufel says. The Oregon-native actress has made the journey to the glittering city of Los Angeles, and after many obstacles her career is now blossoming as she portrays attorney Leslie Faire in the thriller. Carufel proves that no matter the number of rejections, perhaps it is drive alone that will get an actress the roles she truly desires. She is quick to stress that it is passion for what you do that will get you far in the world of acting.

It begins with interest, next comes love, an exclusive rela– tionship, marriage and finally a baby in a baby carriage. This is what a monogamous relationship is all about; it is built upon trust and commitment with a touch of love. Monogamy, directed by Dana Adam Shapiro, explores the themes of monogamy and its difficult nature – it’s a serious deal that requires an unbelievable amount of willingness to commit. Chris Messina is Theo, a wedding photographer who is about to marry Nat (Rashida Jones) when one of his clients, Subgirl (Meital Dohan), sparks a dangerous infatuation. In Dohan’s words, Monogamy is “a hip, psychological drama/thriller that is beautifully shot and relatable.” “We don’t know anything about [Subgirl], except that she tempts Theo … but why? How do we interpret her?” says Dohan about her interesting and challenging character. The way in which Dohan interprets her character works, as she causes great psychological confusion in Messina’s character. To prepare for the film, she asked tons of questions to develop her character. “How does she get what she want? Why does she want it? I think her needs were similar to that of Theo’s and that’s where I took it, and it was so confusing because there were so many emotions involved,” she offers. Despite the complex nature of the emotions involved, Dohan states that she could relate to her character and knew she wanted to commit to the role almost immediately after reading the script. “She [Subgirl] definitely needs love and is having difficulty with her life as it is at the moment. She needs something extra to fill her needs,” Dohan says. Perhaps it is because of her ability to understand Subgirl’s need for love that Dohan successfully creates tension and suspense that adds plenty of flavor to the film.

MOVIEREVIEWS (IFC) Prepare to be lured into a world of jealousy, obsession and erotic tension created by filmmaker Jordan Scott. Cracks is everything about the forbidden in an all-girls boarding school; a boarding school that is more like an orphanage for girls who have been forgotten (practically abandoned) by their parents. The atmosphere of this boarding school is more like a juvy than a school, and such an atmosphere elicits speculation that there is something the storytellers are not revealing to us. In this remote and isolated school exists a diving team made up of the most elite students. They rule the place as if they are royalty, and they in turn give their full attention to Miss G (Eva Green), their glamorous teacher. The diving team’s captain, Di (Juno Temple), is Miss G’s favorite – until a Spanish newcomer challenges her status. Though it is never clear as to why such a beautiful, mature girl from royal descent would come to such a desolate school in the first place, we know there is something mysterious and attractive about Fiamma (Maria Valverde). As the other girls hate on Fiamma for the undivided attention she receives from Miss G, Fiamma seems to be indifferent to all that is around her. She manages to captivate everyone, especially the audience, with her mysterious charm. Everything about Fiamma is so mysterious – the things we know about her are so limited – that people are bound to be curious about this girl. And, of course, Miss G is no exception to Fiamma’s spell. She is caught up in Fiamma’s attractive web and pampers her much more than the other girls. I can’t tell exactly what it is, maybe it’s the slow-motion scenes, lighting or the music, but there is something ominous

Scott does a wonderful job of building such creepy tension and angst until everything finally blows up. The only thing the audience is left with is a disturbing silence. Cracks drives the audience crazy with curiosity by not providing much background on its characters or the school in which the story takes place. Grade: C+ —Cindy KyungAh Lee Cracks releases in select theaters March 18.

Win Win (Fox Searchlight) The definition of “win” has recently come under much debate and so much controversy, the media can’t get enough of it. Our grade school definition of “win” has been ostracized from the sensible American public because of its new meaning, which is overused and which has been unceremoniously introduced to our vocabulary by the already infamous Charlie Sheen. “Winning” somehow doesn’t feel so good anymore. And, likewise in this film, even a double dose of winning just isn’t what it used to be. Win Win stars Paul Giamatti as Mike Flaherty, an attorney whose financial problems begin to maximize the stress in his life, thereby convincing his doctor to prescribe exercise, which also gives him panic attacks. He’s an average Joe living in a New Jersey suburb with his wife Jackie (Amy Ryan) and two young daughters. When his client Leo (Burt Young) is declared incapacitated with no nearby relatives, Mike takes the chance to make some easy extra money by snagging guardianship of the old-timer. Of course, it’s not that simple. Mike sends Leo to a senior home, despite the promise he made in court to help Leo live at home.

Mike (Paul Giamatti) and Kyle (Alex Shaffer) in Win Win To make matters more complicated, Kyle (newcomer Alex Shaffer) has traveled from Ohio to meet the grandfather he’s never known. Luckily for Mike, this new houseguest is also an amazing wrestler who helps the high school team Mike coaches, Bad News Bears style. Director Tom McCarthy, whose last film The Visitor (2007) was a surprise hit, is headed for a solid career of indie favorites. He has an eye for the normal unusual, the hilariously true-to-life drama of our suburban America. Win Win is the first acting gig for Shaffer, and, though he often shies away from the spotlight, offers a meek performance that, like the film itself, gains volume and courage by the end.

SHARON STONE TRIFECTA

March 18-19 @ Aero Theatre by candice winters The moment a film makes history, however small that history may be, is like catching a glimpse of a shooting star. Yes, that is cliché, but it’s true. If you haven’t seen a shooting star – I’ve only witnessed one, brief but glorious, in my lifetime – then you should probably get outside more. My point is that there are certain moments in film that are so ridiculous or so comical or so endearing or so incredibly unforgettable that you can guarantee “Saturday Night Live” will formulate a semi-funny parody of it, and that the host (or hosts) of the Oscars will use it to get an easy laugh out of a tough audience. I still remember when Billy Crystal hosted the Academy Awards in 1998. I won’t mention how old I was, but suffice it to say that I was, in fact, allowed to see Titanic (1997), the big winner of that year. Crystal had some prerecorded skit, much like what Anne Hathaway and James Franco did this year. But Crystal actually did it well, donning the jeweled necklace worn by a scantily clad Kate Winslet in the film. That was a scene that no one could forget, especially the

See Sharon Stone in person at the Aero March 18. Allen’s Stardust Memories (1980), but she went on to work with acclaimed directors like Martin Scorsese, Albert Brooks and Paul Verhoeven. Stone became a bona fide star in Basic Instinct (1991) and, referring back to our memorable scenes conversation, whose mind wasn’t burned with the pantyrevealing interrogation scene in that film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s playing on Saturday, March 19, along with Sam Raimi’s The Quick and the Dead (1995). And be sure to catch the previous night as well. Like most of his films, Scorsese’s Casino (1995) was an instant classic. Set in Las Vegas, the film stars De Niro as a master sports bookie working for the mob. Stone is the hooker he falls in love with, a role that won her a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination. Additionally, Stone will be there in person that night, and it really doesn’t get much better than experiencing wacky Stone firsthand. The Sharon Stone trifecta is complete, and you will be able to check that one off your bucket list. Aero Theatre is located at 1328 Montana Ave., Santa Monica.

gossip mags that threw her under the bus because of her weight. But nearly 15 years later, what we remember is the necklace, her nude pose and Leo’s passionate eyes looking over the easel. Such memorable scenes have been lifted from hundreds of films that are inherent to our pop culture lexicon and introduced to us usually by “South Park.” The art of being so memorable, however, is what every actor and actress tries to attain. The hard part in studying such trends of popularity is that what will grab the attention of one generation most likely won’t for the next. Marilyn Monroe was so popular in the ’40s and ’50s, why? Because she dared to show her upper thigh when all Ingrid Bergman was willing to do was show her natural talent. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino who, for all intents and purposes, are lumped into the same category of nitty-gritty, loud and crass acting, were favorites in the ’70s and ’80s, why? Because they had to react to the Vietnam War, which had all of America’s youth up in arms, literally and metaphorically. The popularity of acting talent is totally dependent upon the age in question, which really explains why Molly Ringwald had such a difficult time breaking her Brat Pack persona and maintaining her career after the ’80s were through. If given the opportunity, watch the films of one actress you admire, or don’t admire for that matter, because I guarantee that you will find a correlation, a typecast role that plagued scripts through a relatively short period of time and which called for one particular actor alone. This week, the Aero Theatre is helping you out with this assignment by screening several of Sharon Stone’s films. I know, she probably wasn’t your first choice, but you must remember, before she went crazy on a few red carpets, she was a powerful force in some of Hollywood’s favorite films. She made her debut in a non-speaking role in Woody

Her possibilities are Limitless. by stephanie forshee As T.V. Carpio waits yet again for ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” Broadway’s most expensive and notorious show, to officially open, she has something else to cheer about: the release of Limitless. In the film, Carpio plays Valerie, the wife of Eddie’s (Bradley Cooper) landlord. After Eddie begins taking a black market pill that gives him access to his entire brain’s capacity, his cordial relationship with the married Carpio changes to one that is a bit more provocative. Our “Dear Prudence” from Across the Universe still maintains her usual spunk as she branches out as Valerie and also in her role of Arachne in “Spider-Man.” “It’s fine. I know I look young,” she says. “But I would like the option to play other stuff, too. That’s all I really care about. I don’t care about the typecast. I just want something that I haven’t done before.” Carpio boasts of having a blast playing the mentor-turnedvillain Arachne. “It’s a challenge and it’s exploration, and that’s what I really love,” says Carpio. “That’s why it has been so great working with Julie [Taymor] because she definitely allows you to play with the character, which is awesome for me.” With Taymor no longer directing [She recently stepped down.] and the opening postponed until summer, Carpio’s role might change once more. Carpio was originally cast as Miss Arrow but stepped into the role of Arachne to replace the injured Natalie Mendoza, who suffered a concussion and subsequently left the

Bradley Cooper and T.V. Carpio in Limitless production. With multiple other injuries during previews, Carpio claims that the cast has only grown closer because of them. “I will be excited when we can show our work, and I hope people will come and enjoy it for what it is,” tells Carpio. “If anything it has brought us closer because it seems like everyone’s against us. This has bonded us.” Carpio is quick to defend the “flying” aspect of the show, on which the production’s problems have been pinned. “Not to minimize what happened, but the things that happened had nothing to do with the flying,” she says. “When I was playing in ‘Rent’ I had an injury, and the girl that replaced me had an injury. That was ‘Rent.’ There was no flying in that. I guess it had been going on for 11 years.” Regardless of who or what is to blame, Carpio is thankful that the actors are still willing to step into the roles after the previous performers were injured. “They’ve all come in and picked it up so quickly,” says Carpio. “They’re the real heroes here. They keep it going. It’s been amazing.” Limitless releases in theaters March 18.

What you get here is not a collection of sweeping landscapes or carefully calculated shots, but the honest and raw journey of someone who admits she’s not a filmmaker (although she is the granddaughter of Alan Hale Jr., the Skipper on “Gilligan’s Island”). She simply wants to share her story with the world. For Hale, the decision to first embark on this unusual journey wasn’t always clear. “When I lost my dad, I actually had lots of shows planned. I was so heartbroken, I wasn’t gonna go, but my friends convinced me to. For those three hours of the show, it didn’t hurt anymore. I felt OK again,” Hale says. For Hale, the journey showed her that the power of music influences many people. Music is something more than just the performance of tracks in front of an audience. From speaking to a wide spectrum of people, Hale found that music had the ability to save. “What I want to express with this film is no matter what happened to you or the situation, music can help,” Hale offers. From the fans Hale interviewed, the overriding love of music is palpable. “We’re all on a journey to figure out who we are, and music is a great way to identify where you fall in,” Hale says. Map the Music is currently available.

COMEDY “Groundlings Singles Cruise”

Shawn Bishop

Now-April 23 @ The Groundlings Theater At the current main stage show, the ladies rule! It’s well known that the Groundlings is the breeding ground for actors to practice and perfect quirky characters that can later catapult them to fame (i.e., Julia Sweeney’s “Pat”). After attending several consecutive productions, a handful of breakout stars are worth noting. Edi Patterson herself can claim a few. First, there’s the not-too-bright tart who is coupled up with a retired pervert in “Doing Shots.” We’ve seen them before, and the way they cavort in public is enough to make you gag, if you weren’t Kevin Kirkpatrick and Edi Patterson chuckling so hard. They are tongue fighting, in “Doing Shots” touching inappropriately and just all around tasteless, making everyone in the immediate vicinity terribly uncomfortable. Then, Patterson throws on Urkel-style jeans and hilariously mumbles and trash talks her way through “That Perfick Fit,” in which she’s trying on baby shoes and proclaiming they’d be perfect … if she didn’t have to walk. Charlotte Newhouse is another player with tremendous star power. As a recovering drug addict dependent on her life coach in “Coach Brenda,” she’s so odd that she makes you squirm along with her in fits of giggles. It’s physical comedy at its best. Newcomers Laurel Coppock and Jillian Bell both make unforgettable first impressions. Coppock is bizarrely funny in “Piano Concerto” as she simulates an orgasm while playing, and Bell is ridiculously entertaining (with shades of reality TV) as Tommy Lee Jones’ son in “Father of Mine.” And in keeping with the awkward female character theme that seems to carry throughout the night, Jill Matson-Sachoff has the audience on its knees in “Concert” as that lone attendee who rudely occupies your personal space and chomps weird foods loudly in your ear. —Jessica Koslow The Groundlings Theater is located at 7307 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles. For more information, visit groundlings.com.

who butts heads with his new feminist co-anchor (Christina Applegate) in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner make up the all-star supporting cast. The Rich Mahogany Edition contains both rated and unrated versions, as well as the featurelength collection of deleted scenes previously released as Wake up, Ron Burgundy, plus a whole slew of extras, including table reads, auditions and the “Afternoon Delight” recording session. Two 3-D IMAX adventures come to hi-def: The Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D and Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia 3D. The first follows 10-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater and friends as they travel to the legendary surf spot Teahupo’o in search of the perfect wave. Narrated by Donald Sutherland, Dinosaurs brings to life history’s most awesome creatures using computer animation in collaboration with leading scientists. Both films also include standard Blu-ray discs.

Under the Radar:

Richard Levine (“Nip/Tuck”) wrote and directed Every Day, a romantic dramedy about the difficulties of modern relationships. Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt headline a stellar cast. Matthew Lillard stars as a man-child finally evicted by his parents who finds the girl of his dreams in Spooner. A Beautiful Life follows four lost souls trying to find connection in the sometimes cold and distant city of Los Angeles. Parodying ’70s women’s prison films, Sugar Boxx follows an investigative reporter who goes undercover in a corrupt prison to expose the warden’s prostitution ring. Grindhouse camp ensues. “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” stars Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood bring their popular improv stage show to DVD in Colin & Brad: Two Man Group. Also included is a dos and don’ts of improv featurette and an interview with the quick-witted duo. Also available: monster movies – Roger Corman-produced Sharktopus starring Eric Roberts, Gamera double feature (Gamera vs. Zigra, Gamera: The Super Monster) featuring new widescreen transfers and English and Japanese-language tracks.

Q&A With Greg Gillis by m.m. zonoozy

Who is Girl Talk – a DJ, a producer? The people who inspired me were producers – people like Negativland or the Bomb Squad – you know, anything like that. John Oswald, Kid606, Evolution Control Committee – those were all people who were using pop music and pop culture as their source material, but weren’t necessarily spinning records or anything like that. On the records and in shows, I never want to be playing someone else’s music. I want to make something new out of someone else’s music. In that way, I’ve always considered myself more of a producer.

started to dive into college radio. I was interested in how far music could go, just on the experimental level. That was when I got my first taste of left-field electronic music and avant-garde electronic music. From early on, the bands I wanted to see had synthesizers or drum machines or were messing around with electronics. So my version of picking up a guitar and jamming with your friends in the basement was playing around with electronics or children’s toys, or rewiring toys or circuit-bending things. That music is very different than what I am making now, but I definitely see a connection in terms of a similar style of figuring out how to make music with what tools are in front of you. Tell me about finding what has now been defined as the ‘Girl Talk’ sound? It’s been a steady evolution. It’s been two years in between almost all of my albums, and if you listen to them in order, it makes a lot of sense. One leads to the other. Each one was just taking ideas from the previous one and going somewhere further with it.

What was the process like to decide that this would be your full-time gig? Did you just wake up one day, look in the mirror and say, “I’m done being an biomedical engineer?” It slowly crept up on me over the course of a year. I definitely knew it from the moment that Night Ripper started to get buzz and the shows started to sell out and I was able to start playing at colleges and clubs. Immediately when that started happening it was kind of like, “Oh, I’m making enough money on the weekend shows to sustain a life right now.” That was something that wasn’t a decision, it was just fact.

I wanted to discuss your live shows. The show has definitely grown big steps in production for this particular tour. I definitely think that people who are seeing this tour, and who have seen me multiple times in the past, are seeing something distinctly different. We have a custom-built LED wall that does specific things. We have a custom-built lighting rig, and we have two people doing the actual LED content. I definitely feel that these shows on this tour have been the most fully realized version of what I want to do, or what a Girl Talk show could be.

Do you have any classical training in any instruments? No. When I started really getting into music and going out seeing bands – when I was 14 – that was right around the time I really

Hollywood Undead Are Revolting:

City and Colour

Jess Baumung

March 22 @ The El Rey This is without question the do-not-miss show this week, and even though I throw that term around a lot, this is the most donot-miss-est show we’ve had come through Los Angeles yet this year. To the point I’m not going to detract from it by discussing any other shows this week. For those familiar with Alexisonfire frontman Dallas Green’s side project, but who have yet to experience it live, the dude Dallas Green of City and Colour lives up to his recordings. If you thought listening to Bring Me Your Love was difficult to do on your iPod because it’s just too painfully personal and resonant, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Give the dude an electric guitar, a harmonica and an empty stage, and he’ll give you back a one-man performance that the great theatrical dramatists would be envious of. Since Green somehow only makes about one trip out to Los Angeles a year to give us a show, figure out a way to get into this show. If that means you have to roofie a couple security guards, I’m … not going to say it wouldn’t be worth it. Not that I would ever condone such actions. Also, everyone who goes to Coachella is going to be on the Dallas train in a couple weeks, so this is your last chance to jump on board in time to be able to scoff at the poor, lowly latecomers who only found out about him at a mainstream music fest. For those entirely unfamiliar with Green and his body of work, prepare to meet the man who wrote the secret soundtrack to your innermost thoughts, feelings and emotions. Maybe it’s cruel irony that it would be a Canadian post-hardcore frontman who could croon out folky Americana better than even our own native musical products, but give Green a listen and he’ll change the way you look at life; he’s that good.

a legitimate musical genre? When you take a look back at most new forms of music, that’s what happens. When rock ’n’ roll comes around, when punk rock comes around, when rap comes around – people question the validity of it. When people are loving what you’re doing and it’s their favorite style of music, and other people hate it and say it’s not music at all, or says it’s the end of music – to me, that’s the ultimate sign that something is going right because that is what all my favorite music over the years has been. There are so many different ways to approach samplebased music. Like you said, it could be Kanye, or it could be Daft Punk, or it could be Animal Collective, or it could be Girl Talk or it could be whatever. That’s exciting because there is such a gradient of different ways of using a laptop or a sampler as an instrument. To me, that is very exciting, and something I want to be a part of.

Follow CAMPUS CIRCLE on Twitter @CampusCircle CDREVIEWS AWOLNATION Megalithic Symphony (Red Bull) Have you ever come across a band who is at that point where they are the most raw and poised for great things? That’s what this album sounds like. It’s aggressive and also actually danceable. It is reminiscent of a fight between Mindless Self Indulgence and Mika. This disco thrash is so undecided it makes listening to the album a bit of a game. Some songs lead into a soft groove, then end up pushing you to take your car over 100 mph on the 101. The B grade is warranted because as good as the music is, the album itself sounds a bit thin. Not in the traditional sense, the sound quality is excellent, but the production lends itself to a single musician or only a select few, and not an entire band. If that’s the case, it needs to be remedied. There’s an energy that a full act could deliver in the studio that just can’t be replicated by multitracking. A great addition to your spring collection, and I’m sure when performed live with a full band, lethal as can be. Grade: B —David Tobin Megalithic Symphony is currently available.

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears Scandalous (Lost Highway) Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears offer a new album that’s both raw and high energy. A follow-up to their debut release, Tell ’Em What Your Name Is!, the album has riveting, gritty riffs and is served up like some down-home cookin’ for your soul. Produced by Jim Eno, drummer for Spoon, some of the featured songs on Scandalous include “She’s So Scandalous” and “Mustang Ranch.” With dashes here and there that are reminiscent of the Godfather of Soul himself, Scandalous adds an extra beat to the heart, making this a highly anticipated album to kick off the year! Grade: A —Mary Broadbent Scandalous is currently available.

Kopek White Collar Lies (Religion) This is a definite buy for those of you who like hard rock with a hint of the late ’90s. Bringing together sounds that are aggressive – but not too abrasive – and driving, Kopek delivers a solid album from Ireland. The song topics range from the death of music to love-infused, angry rock anthems. Guitars are the main instrument you’ll be hearing on this album, and that’s not such a bad thing. The riffs are original, offer depth and keep you wanting more from song to song. It’s the vocals that stand out the most in White Collar Lies. High pitched at times and rough around all the edges, singer Daniel Jordan pushes his voice to the limit and really completes the feel for Kopek. Just as you think a song getting to the point where it has abused your tolerance, it changes in ways that surprise you and opens up the range of the composition. Standout tracks include “Fever,” “Bring it on Home” and “Bigger Than Us All.” Grade: B+ —David Tobin White Collar Lies is currently available.

Long Distance Calling Self-titled (Superball)

Campus Circle > Music > CD Reviews Long Distance Calling is a German band who plays progressive instrumental music with a bit of a metal overtone. They didn’t set out to play only instrumentals; it might be that they lacked a strong vocalist or someone who could sing well in English, a near necessity if you want to get anywhere in the U.S. or England. Whatever the reason, it is refreshing to hear this style of music performed without words; as always with instrumental music your mind is free to wander any path it chooses. The lack of vocals doesn’t mean there isn’t some guidance though; on “Into the Black Wide Open” there are brief spoken word parts as a woman’s voice asks, “Please, tell me why you’ve come to our planet?” and a man retorts incredulously, “Your planet?” Take it as a battle of the sexes outer space style if you want, but the electronics and rhythmic, buzzing guitars don’t get so dramatic that you envision full-out intergalactic war. A couple of numbers are pretty down to earth, including “Timebends” where popping bass notes enhance showy but still understated guitar work; the song is subdued enough to likely get airplay on the more adventurous of “smooth” jazz stations. But as hinted at in the band’s name, most of this music comes from a place far away. Where it goes is up to you. Grade: B —Kevin Wierzbicki Long Distance Calling is currently available.

Omnium Gatherum New World Shadows (Lifeforce) This Finnish act refers to their music as death metal, but that’s an oversimplification of a style that relies heavily on a prog sound. A few things distinguish Omnium Gatherum from other acts operating in the genre; first are the sweeping keyboard and soaring guitar melodies that they employ on songs like “Everfields.” You’re not going to hear big, lush melodies from many death metal bands. Then there’s the way that the drumming is incorporated into the overall sound as opposed to being mixed up front to pummel the listener senseless. Perhaps the biggest difference though is the way that the distorted vocal effect is used by frontman Jukka Pelkonen; most death metallers are going to tweak the vocals until the singer sounds like Satan constipated whereas Pelkonen is far less scary than that with a growl that sounds more like that of a lumbering, pissed-off giant. Those who like their death served up hard and fast in a festering, noisy pile will have little use for Omnium Gatherum. On the other hand, listeners that can enjoy a bit of a soothing balm on the way to the grave will find the melodic metal lurking in the New World Shadows quite agreeable. Grade: B —Kevin Wierzbicki New World Shadows is currently available.

Withered Hand Good News (SL/Absolutely Kosher) English folk-popster Dan Willson follows in the footsteps of fellow songsmiths Billy Bragg and James Blunt, although Willson’s fulllength debut, Good News, has more existential angst than most artists who pick up a guitar. Withered Hand – the name of Willson’s backing quartet which adds mandolin, cello, drums and more – is an indication of Willson’s lyrics, which touch on alienation, have a dry, often black humor and a dollop or two of self-deprecation. Standouts include “Love in the Time of Ecstasy,” a pun on Gabriel García Márquez’s novel about the consequences of love; and “Religious Songs,” Willson’s lingering look at his spiritual upbringing, a tune which is an example of the themes of conflicted faith which run through several songs. The frequently fertile arrangements form a cushion for Willson’s angelic, choir-boyish voice, which gives warmth to lines, which have undercurrents of dark experience, balanced by glimpses of grace and hope. Grade: B —Doug Simpson Good News is currently available.

Fresh Music from the TechoPunk Masters by mari fong ‘We were objects of derision,’ says Gerald Casale, thinking back on Devo’s early gigs in their hometown of Akron, Ohio. “If people paid attention to us at all, they would mock and criticize us, but that didn’t really deter me at all – it only strengthened my resolve. People would scream ‘boo’ and yell things at us, and we thought, ‘Look at who we’re pissing off? We must be doing the right thing!” Casale lets out a laugh when talking about Devo’s pioneering days, often being the odd band out with their outrageous costumes and geeky looks, yet Devo’s music eventually dominated and distinguished a decade. Freedom of Choice, released in 1980, was the band’s breakout album, including winners such as “Girl U Want” and “Whip It,” followed by a string of successful albums and singles. With their first album release in 20 years, Something For Everybody, Devo returns with their brand of upbeat, electropop songs featuring songs like “Fresh” and “Human Rocket” that fans can’t help but sing and spasmodically dance to. In addition, Josh Freese, a fiery drummer who has played with Nine Inch Nails and Guns N’ Roses, joins the lineup with Gerald and Bob Casale, and Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh. Devo started as a joke while Casale was a college art student in the late ’60s, the name derived from the concept

of de-evolution: the idea that mankind was not evolving but actually devolving or regressing as a species. “College was a great opportunity and an eye-opening experience for me. I got to really come to terms with my world view,” reveals Casale. “I would credit my experience at Kent State with warming my aesthetic, even though it ended with students being shot by the National Guard.” Flashback to 1970: Casale attends a peaceful protest against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War. Little did he realize he would soon be involved in the Kent State Massacre – a tragic part of U.S. history. During the protest, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on students, one being Allison Krause, a good friend of Casale’s who was shot dead as they both fled from a flurry of bullets. The anger and frustration of the Kent State Massacre eventually became a catalyst for Devo’s underlying themes. Flash forward to today’s current events with cataclysmic world leaders such as Moammar Gadhafi and even extreme celebrities like Charlie Sheen in the United States. Can it be true that de-evolution is real? “Devo was pro-information, pro-questioning and very against illegitimate authority,” insists Casale. “The idea that we’re all Devo, that we must repeat, and that we’re all on one level – full of shit, you know? We’re inspired by reality because the world is so ridiculous and stupid. De-evolution is real.” Yet serious themes were often dealt with humor by a colorful cast of Devo characters such as Booji Boy, Rod Rooter, the Smart Patrol and Soo Bawlz who resided in Spudland, with an intricate storyline that played out in their groundbreaking music videos. Add red energy dome hats, yellow suits and an electrifying live show and what have you got? A visual and music extravaganza spawning a legion of

WHY MUSIC VIDEOS NEED TO TONE IT DOWN by EVA RECINOS

Lady Gaga gave birth to a machine gun. No, not really. She just did so in her new video for her most recent hit “Born This Way.” After practically single-handedly restarting the music video à la short film form, Lady Gaga needed to outdo herself in the newest video in her artistic collection. And that she did. With everything from a sci-fi voice-over narrative to a surprisingly realistic-looking birth scene, Gaga managed to get both attention and shock from music fans and video watchers. But she’s not the only one kicking it up a notch. Fellow mainstream competitors Kanye West and M.I.A. also presented their brand of outlandish videos with their hits. West’s “Monster” featured pals like Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj but also undertones of misogyny and necromancy. Here, there are frightening zombies laying in bed with West and at one point, he nonchalantly raps to the camera while holding the head of a dead female.

loyal and, dare I say, devo-tional fans. Although Devo continues to influence today’s music landscape as evidenced by artists such LCD Soundsystem, MGMT and the Ting Tings, Casale still enjoys sharing stories from their starving artist days in Akron, Ohio before riding the crest of their success. “We got paid to stop playing by a guy who owned a bar,” Casale reminisces. “He said, ‘Please, just get off the stage now. I’ll give you $100.’ We thought that was one of the greatest nights of triumph we had,” says Casale with a wicked grin. “We got paid that night!” Something For Everybody is currently available. Devo perform March 19 at Club Nokia. For more information, visit clubdevo.com.

Campus Circle > Music > Music Notes M.I.A. chose instead to pick on the redheads in her video “Born Free,” assaulting viewers with obvious political undertones and even a semi-pornographic scene at the start. What really got the viewer, though, was her staged execution of redheads. With this much shocking material, what’s next? It’s a given that the music video realm is not half as interesting to music lovers as it was 10-plus years ago – evidenced by the fact that now MTV plays shows like “Jersey Shore” and “Teen Mom” in place of actual music videos – but that doesn’t mean that music fans are looking for necromancy and almost nauseating scenes of birth. The movie-type music video is the way to go to attract more viewers, but the musician must draw the line on how far is too far. Births might not be so controversial but a man holding the chopped-off head of a woman might not float the boats of most female, or even male, listeners. There’s a difference between creating music videos that try to use full creativity and making videos that could very well offend a large portion of listeners. The bottom line is that these artists know exactly what they’re doing. There isn’t one move in the music video world, insignificant as it may seem now, that doesn’t define who the band is, whether fans or musicians like it or not. Radiohead didn’t care what anyone thought of them when they recorded the offbeat video for “Lotus Flower,” but Miley Cyrus very well knew that wearing hardly any clothes and dancing dirty with both sexes – not to mention using the metaphor of a caged bird – would help listeners see the new identity she was going for. It wasn’t so much about whether or not you heard the song. Anyone can timidly walk up to a microphone and proclaim they ‘can’t be tamed.’ People were more often asking the question, “Did you see the video?”

Mariano Vivanco

NEWS FILM MUSIC

How far is too far when it comes to Lady Gaga’s videos? Kanye loves controversy, M.I.A. loves her political challenges and Lady Gaga wants to give birth, or give rise to, a new brand of monsters. The line has to be crossed to reach a solid identity and get heads turning, but these ideas of genocide, decapitated women and machine gun births aren’t exactly the easiest for music listeners to swallow. Gaga is taking the risk of converting any die-hard fan from a little monster to someone just a little scared. Shocking us out of passivity, these artists are trying to craft their identity without caring what anyone thinks. Sure, the video gets you talking, but what exactly does it get you talking about? That is the risk these artists need to consider when releasing their new music videos. These are the not the stuff teenagers should be watching, and the videos are likely to attract an exclusive group in the adult audience, namely those into the more artsy and conceptual side of art media. Unfortunately for the artists, that isn’t everyone.

TOM BERGIN’S TAVERN

840 S. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles by john stapleton iv When it comes to doing things like the Irish, Americans are decidedly banjaxed. We still can’t drink like they can, we never could clog like they can and, even when our most talented thespians give it a go, we still haven’t been able to master the Irish accent (i.e., Brad Pitt in The Devil’s Own). One thing we keep trying to replicate that almost always fails is the Irish pub, as evidenced by the fact that there are more immigrants from south of the border than there are from the Emerald Isle in Los Angeles, and yet far more Irish pubs than there are cantinas – very few of which ever attract any actually Irish clientele. But, every once in a while, we get it right (i.e., Brad Pitt in Snatch), so for an Irish pub experience that makes even the Irish feel at home, leg it to Tom Bergin’s Tavern. I walk into Tom Bergin’s expecting to find the usual Irish pub fare: a dimly lit, tightly packed space crowding a polished wooden bar filled to the hilt with whiskey and scotch and taps that included Harp and Guinness. I expect the walls to be littered with historical Celtic knickknacks, including maps of all the Irish counties, and highlighted by glowing neon shamrocks. And I expect food. So initially, Tom Bergin’s meets all of my expectations. But then I bump into a group of

Campus Circle > Blogs > Barfly singing, drunken Irish imports, at which point Tom Bergin’s far and away exceeds what I’d come to expect from a West Coast Irish pub. “It really feels like a proper Irish bar,” says an Irish native who asked not to be named, only described as “a buxom redhead aged 28.” “It’s in a whole other league,” she adds, singing and laughing amidst a group of close friends, who each chimed in with their favorite aspects of the bar: “Strong drinks!” “Their onion rings is whatcha need to know about.” “It’s a bar you can hear each other in.” “It’s great craic here. A whole basket of chips – a whole basket.” One of them is on a first-name basis with General Manager Lesa Parsons, and introduces her to me so I could ask her about the hundreds upon hundreds of cardboard shamrocks that cover the ceiling, each painted with a name. “You used to have to be invited to get a shamrock – Cary Grant is up there,” Parsons says. “Now you just have to get a card, and you get a stamp every time you visit.” It takes 15 stamps to be immortalized with this tradition, which has been going on since the bar opened in 1936. My new friends from across the pond are sitting directly beneath their clover trophies. “It took us about two years to get our shamrocks,” says the buxom redhead, aged 28. “I actually love coming here, with my old friend Danny Boy…” at which point the entire group erupted into song, without the slightest hesitation. “Danny Boy” – who also preferrs to go by a moniker and has his own shamrock – makes himself a regular at Tom Bergin’s because “there’s no rope outside – I hate that shit. But it’s so neighborhood. Sometimes there’s some Hollywood

ONTHEMENU

MAUI AND SONS BAR & GRILL

6708 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles by scott bedno I find it odd that in a city like Los Angeles, with miles and miles of beaches, there are so few good beach restaurants. Sure, there are the Malibu options, but how can you enjoy your $15 Bloody Mary after dealing with traffic, beach parking and the half-hour drive back to civilization? Therefore, I was intrigued when I heard about a new beach-themed restaurant, right in the heart of Hollywood – Maui and Sons Bar & Grill. I know Maui and Sons from their clothing line, so their bona fides are established for the beach culture part. They have teamed up with Sunset Entertainment Group, which runs the Pig N’ Whistle (which is right next door to Maui and Sons Bar & Grill) and others, so the restaurant part seems under control, too. So, can beach casual mesh with Hollywood glitz? Just outside the restaurant, you are welcomed by a sevenfoot blue surfer statue, which tells you you’re not in Kansas anymore. Unless, of course, you ARE from Kansas and you

people, but they never last too long. And there’s never a line. I can come in any time. It’s just easy to come here.” Tom Bergin’s is more than a bar, offering a full menu until 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends, and while a $9 hot dog seems like a far cry from fair, their happy hour menu has eight items for under five bucks. Happy hour also includes drafts and wells for $4 and $4.75, respectively, and if you have a hard time getting to Fairfax and Barrows between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the weekday, you can come in pretty much any time Saturday or Sunday (or both), when happy hour lasts from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. So maybe we can’t hold our drink as well as they can, and maybe we’ll always be out-céilí-ed, and maybe we just don’t have the linguistic dexterity to make the word “turbo” into four syllables and the phrase “come here I want ya” into a single word, but thanks to Tom Bergin’s Tavern, we can at least attempt all three in a place that feels as Irish as, well, drinking, dancing and trying desperately not to sound English. For more information, visit call (323) 936-7151 tombergins.com.

Campus Circle > Culture > Food feel compelled to take a picture with said statue, which I saw at least three couples do! The beach motif continues inside with a bar done up in tiki style, a row of wooden booths and a large long board that serves as a communal table. The vibe is comfortable and the wait staff is island friendly. Looking at the drinks menu, I thought I had stumbled in at happy hour, but I was informed they don’t have happy hour. The prices on the menu are their prices all the time. Let’s see, $3 Newcastle draft? $3 Peroni on tap? Uh, sure, sign me up! They also have 10 specialty drinks for $6 each, with names like Pipeline, Blue Hawaiian and Wipe-Out, which continue the beach theme. I ordered a Surf Zombie – three types of rum, apricot brandy, pineapple, orange and lime juice, with a float of Bacardi 151 rum on top. Aloha and good night. The food menu also seems happy hour priced as there is not an item on the menu over $9. The beauty of this is it allows the sharing of a lot of dishes, and share we did. The hit for me was the Pumpin’ Popcorn Shrimp, medium-sized shrimp lightly battered in tempura tossed in a Japanese-style spicy mayo. The shrimp are cooked perfectly, still plump and juicy to bite into with a slightly crunchy outer shell. I wasn’t as taken with the Maui Cheese Fries, which were topped with a “woo-tang” sauce – their take on Thousand Island dressing. I felt the dressing was too sweet and overpowered the fries. The Lava Wings were spicy, tangy and meaty and only $7 for a dozen. The main dishes are burgers, sandwiches, tacos and bowls, bowls being a protein on a bed of rice and either beans or vegetables. The winner is the the Volcano burger, which puts the cheese inside the patty, so you get melty, cheesy goodness in every bite. The meat is delicious and it comes with caramelized onions, crispy onions and the woo-tang

sauce from the cheese fries. Here the sauce works very well as it adds a bit of tang to the burger. Also passing the test are the Huli Nuli Tacos – grilled mahi-mahi tacos topped with coleslaw, guacamole and salsa. The fish is fresh and the guac is superb. It’s a steal of a deal as you get two tacos for six bucks. As you can imagine, once the weather heats up, so will the beach-themed events, including an open grill on the patio. My favorites idea is beach volleyball. They plan on using the open space between their restaurant and the Pig N’ Whistle to set up an actual beach volleyball court. It costs $5 to play, which goes directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. So not only do you get some beach volleyball action in the heart of Hollywood, you help out a good cause as well. So while Maui and Sons Bar & Grill can’t provide the ocean views of a Malibu, it does provide good food and drinks at great prices in a comfortable and fun environment. I’d say that’s a pretty good trade-off. Aloha! For more information, visit mauiandsonsbarandgrill.com.

SPRING BREAK ESSENTIALS

BY FREDERICK MINTCHELL THURSDAYMARCH 17

by dana jeong

…And finally, it’s here! Spring break, the week we have all been looking forward to since we took down the ornaments from the Christmas tree. Unlike summers filled with extra classes and internships, spring break is the only time you can truly let go – and get away with it. But don’t let your overexcitement cause a major fashion disaster by leaving out these super-important items! You want to be prepared for any possible scenarios, from running into your ex to a romantic dinner with your spring fling.

Mammoth Mountain, 1 Minaret Road; mammothgayski.com “2000 riders. 7 major parties. 0 at– titude.” This year, Elevation brings over 2000 riders to the Sierras.

The Wedges

The Denim Shirt An oversized denim shirt is a chic alternative to your college sweatshirt when postsunset air starts to feel chilly on your bare skin.

Throw it on as a cover-up when you climb out of the pool, or pair it with your favorite jersey dress for a casual night out with friends.

pubcrawls.com Over 20 participating bars, clubs and pubs in Hollywood are offering $2 draft beers (10 oz. cups), $3 well mixed drinks, $4 shots and more. Register at the Pig N’ Whistle. You can start anytime from noon until 10 p.m.

WEDNESDAYMARCH 16 Elevation 2011: 9th Annual Mammoth Gay Ski Week

A bikini cover-up by day and sexy partywear by night, a good halter dress is a must for any kind of vacation. Since neon colors are majorly trending right now, step into the sun in your brightest dress you can pull off only on vacation. Otherwise, skin-toned dresses will do a great job in bringing out your new tan.

FRIDAYMARCH 18 The GAP Project-Designer Runway Showcase Jill Stuart; shopbop.com

Wherever you go, you can always count on wedge heels. They are definitely comfortable enough to be worn all day, whether you are spending time at the beach or hitting up local boutiques. Wear them at night when you go out to a nice dinner and clubbing with your friends afterwards – the heels will surely boost up your confidence.
