ANWEN PARROTT

I’m going to be honest for a second about a topic that, at this very moment, I probably shouldn’t be honest about: I am not a Cubs fan. I know, I know, I suck. And I truly am sorry for it - I wish I liked the Cubs! Their fans are great! But I was raised in a family that never got terribly excited about sports like baseball or football, and when we did happen to watch a game,we were more inclined to root for the Cardinals (if you didn’t hate me before, now you certainly do). So yeah, I don’t follow the Cubs at all. In fact, I know very little about the beloved Chicago team. They play at Wrigley Field, haven’t won a world series title in quite some time and‌ that’s about all I’ve got. I’m unable to name one player on the current roster (to illustrate my level of baseball incompetence: I just had to Google “does Sammy Sosa still play for the Cubsâ€? (answer: no, he definitely does not)). It should therefore come as no surprise that I was oblivious to the Cubs’ successful season and had no idea why their Wednesday night game against the Pirates was so noteworthy. I was, however, acutely aware of the effect it had on those around me. Before Wednesday’s game, I saw floods of students wearing Cubs apparel, scrolled past countless Facebook messages declaring love for and faith in their favorite team and heard excited chatter about the game in every corner of campus. And though I personally had zero investment in the outcome of the game, I loved it. Amidst midterms and mid-semester blues, people on campus were infectiously happy and hopeful. Sports are just sports, and they shouldn’t be blown out of proportion. Baseball is a game – nothing more, nothing less. But there are so many societal divisions imposed and recreated on a daily basis, and it’s nice to see something unite millions of people. There’s something simple and pure about discovering that binding agent in the form of a baseball team. So as an outsider, I hope the Cubs do well. And I hope we can hold on to the sentiments inspired by their success even if they don’t.

FOR

80 years Red Grange was the most well-known athlete in Illinois’ history. Then along came Dee Brown. A two-time AllAmerican, Brown led the 2005 Fighting Illini to a 37-2 record and an appearance in the National Championship Game. The following year, he won the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation’s top guard. After a professional career that included stints in the NBA and Europe, “The One Man Fast Breakâ€? is back - this time on the administrative side of his beloved Illini. We sat down with Brown to see how he’s readjusting to campus life. Âťbuzz: Now that you have a fancy, new University position, do you prefer Daniel or Dee? ÂťDee Brown: I think Dee. That’s how most people identify and know me. In many cases people go “oh there’s Dee, the basketball player,â€? but I think everyone grows up. Now I’m in my second career, but everybody still knows me as Dee Brown. My family calls me Daniel. I remember we went out to eat when I first got here and people were like “Danielâ€??? But I definitely still go by Dee Brown; that’s my brand, that’s who I am. Âťbuzz: What was the first restaurant you went

to when you got back to Champaign? DB: Outback. I’ve got a lot of history there. Me and my wife had our first date there; it’s my favorite restaurant. When I was in town, I used to go to Outback a lot. I spent a lot of time out there, so it just brings back good memories. buzz: What was the go-to bar of the basketball team while you were on campus? DB: Our go-to bar was Kam’s. buzz: Have you been since you got back to C-U? DB: I haven’t, but I know the owner; we hang out all the time. I just think that campus life is for college students, and I want them to enjoy it. I had my time there, and it was awesome. buzz: How many times have you watched the YouTube clip of the Arizona game? (Down 15 with four minutes left, the Illini stormed back to win and earned a trip to the Final Four). DB: I can’t even count! My mom used to watch it once a month. So if you think about it, that’s 12 times 10 years; that’s 120 times. (Laughs) That could be a good math question on a test. buzz: You released a rap album ["Unwritten"] in 2008. Where do you stand among the

best NBA rappers of all time? DB: That was seven years ago; I have a new project coming out ["This is Me"]. I would say I’m definitely one of the best doing it. I liked Stephen Jackson. I like Joe Smith. I’d say Shaq, I mean Shaq definitely put a dent in the music industry. Right now, the top guy is probably Damian Lillard. buzz: You spent seven seasons playing overseas. What shows did you watch on Netflix while you were abroad? DB: Everything, man! "House of Cards," "Entourage," of course, "Orange is the New Black," "Scandal," "Breaking Bad." I think my favorite of all time is probably "The Sopranos" or "24." buzz: The basketball team lost Tracy Abrams to another season-ending injury this summer. Any chance you’ve got one year of eligibility left? DB: (Laughs) With me retiring and people not seeing me play anymore, I think everyone is a little confused. All my real fans know I still play at a high level; last year I was the Player of the Year in the Bulgarian League, I led the Eurocup in assists and we won a championship. I would love to continue to play basketball, but I’m not dwelling on the past.

I can’t put on the Illinois jersey and play again, but the years I did were the best years of my life. buzz: Do you have a 30-second pitch for Illinois basketball this season? Why should students get out of bed on Saturday mornings to watch this team? DB: First of all, because it’s Illinois. Just being around [this team], the kids are working really hard to make sure they’re in top-notch shape to go out and perform. This year we have a new building that’s being renovated, and that’s going to be spectacular. I would just say watch the team, support Illinois athletics, Illinois basketball and thank you for all the support. buzz: Any chance we’ll see you and Coach Groce in matching orange blazers? DB: I would definitely wear one! He has to do it for obvious reasons, but I’m definitely going to wear more orange. Orange is my favorite color; I think people look beautiful in orange.

LOCAL OKTOBERFEST TO BRING BARRELS OF FUN 7UDGLWLRQDO *HUPDQ FHOHEUDWLRQ UHWXUQV WR WKH VWUHHWV RI &KDPSDLJQ ABBY RUMMAGE

Photo by Lily Katz

OKTOBERFEST:

a word that brings a sense of familiarity to many as images of frothy mugs laden with specialty beers, festive pumpkins and maidens clad in medieval garb are conjured. The annual German festival has blossomed into a worldwide obsession and has been imitated in a variety of ways across towns and cities within the United States,

including our very own downtown Champaign. Yet many are unaccustomed with the origins of this cherished celebration. Dating back to the early 1800s in Bavaria, Germany, the tradition of Oktoberfest was first brought to life when King Ludwig I married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. Following their marriage, locals partook in a variety of festivities,

including horse racing as well as the consumption of favored German cuisine. This celebration eventually developed into a valued tradition in which Bavarian citizens and travelers worldwide convene to honor local German customs. This year’s Champaign Oktoberfest will be held on Saturday, Oct. 10, starting at 3 p.m. and will be celebrated until the wee hour of 12 a.m. The fest will be held in downtown Champaign and admission will cost a mere $5. Eric Robeson and Achim vonBodem, two passionate individuals that are known as local community activists, attended Oktoberfest together in Bavaria several years ago. Robeson and vonBodem - vonBodem being German himself - decided to bring the unique celebration of local businesses in a German environment to Champaign, adding their own particular flare: a charitable component. Contacting the Developmental Services Center, an organization that works to “enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing services and supports, which enable them to live, work, learn and participate in their communities” (dsc-illinois), Robeson and vonBodem created an Oktoberfest that not only celebrates local businesses and the overall community of Champaign but provides an essence of "paying it forward," giving back to an organization that has provided the community with a unique and needed service. Janice McAteer, director of development at the Developmental Services Center, noted how Champaign’s Oktoberfest is meant to celebrate the community of Champaign. “It brings together the businesses in the community, as all the vendors are very local. We’re trying to celebrate our area and who we are while also staying authentic to the Bavarian traditions,” said McAteer. This concept is more than apparent as participants can expect a variety of locally brewed beer from a range of breweries, including The Blind Pig, JT Walker’s, Destihl, Triptych, Orange & Blue Distributing and Marketplace Selections. Furthermore, a host of authentic German food can be found amongst favored vendors such as White Horse Inn and Chester’s Barbecue. Vendors will be selling savory items including 1,000 pounds of Oktoberfest sausages, sauerkraut, German potato salad, schnitzel, kroketten, Bavarian pretzels courtesy of Destihl and decadent cookies courtesy of Cream and Flutter. As if that weren’t enough, Chester’s Barbecue will also be serving up piping-hot half chickens, as is commonly seen in Bavaria’s Oktoberfest. While enjoying a hearty meal or sipping foamy

beer, festival-goers can experience the entertainment of authentic German music brought to life by the bands Die Musikmeisters, The Polkaholics and the Bolzen Beer Band, all brought back by popular demand. Expect to hear some relevant and favored tunes in addition to the traditional German music. Being the third annual Oktoberfest held in Champaign, a large turnout is to be expected. The first fest saw a turnout of 2,500 people with a total $20,000 raised, according to McAteer. McAteer noted that the second fest nearly doubled these numbers, drawing 3,600 people and raising a total of $40,000. Yet, this year is expected to top years past as family attendance is encouraged with the expansion of the children's area. The Developmental Services Center and friends have implemented a bounce house brimmed with enthusiasm for energetic children to enjoy. They have also considered a creative outlet for kids, incorporating a newly designed decorative cookie station in which children are given the opportunity to edit and create their own personal masterpieces. But they haven’t stopped there; kids will have the chance to decorate festive Oktoberfest mugs, which will later be used for beloved rootbeer floats. The Developmental Services Center has not forgotten about adults. As is tradition with Champaign’s Oktoberfest, a specialty ‘bier,' brewed by a collaboration of the local breweries aforementioned, will be unveiled at the beginning of the fest as the official ChampaignUrbana Oktoberfest beer. With these new incorporations and continued favored traditions, this year’s Oktoberfest is bound to be one to remember. “We’re really looking for people to have a good time. It’s all going to be very fun,” said McAteer. This memorable tradition of celebration, decadent and hearty meals, flavorful beers and general, familiar crisp of October is truly a chance for community members, university students and children alike to partake in an event that celebrates local business and the city of Champaign. Although finding roots in a culture that may not necessarily apply to all individuals, it puts an emphasis on the support of hometown breweries and restaurants, cultivating an air of pride. As previously mentioned, all proceeds and admission costs will go towards benefitting the Developmental Services Center. So take part in this beloved tradition and revel in the sights, sounds and delectable tastes of an authentic German experience while remaining within the confines of the city of Champaign.

PIZZA SERVED UP IN A ZIP

SITUATED

at 505 E. Green St, right next to Coldstone , Azzip Pizza is one of Champaign’s newest eateries striving to please the University’s large student population. The restaurant’s debut was timed with the start of the semester and officially opened doors on September 9. As the name suggests, Azzip’s specialty is pizza, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a house made pizza sauce. What differentiates Azzip from other pizza joints in the area is its two minute and 20 second cook time, as well as its “fast, casual, personalized� format—a style that lends itself very well to hightraffic campus towns and properly accommodates students’ packed schedules. Azzip also has monthly specialty pizzas that are even quicker to order and offer a creative alternative to standard toppings. This month the special is the spirited “Orange and Bleu� pizza, topped with buffalo chicken and blue cheese. Another nice feature of Azzip is its “Giveback Program,� which allows approved not-for-profit community and university groups to apply to receive a percentage of sales depending on how many of the organization’s members present vouchers. This kind of feature is great, especially for volunteer RSOs on campus. Part of the reason that Azzip meshes so well

with campus is due to its owner and founder Brad Niemeier, who very recently graduated from Purdue University with a degree in hospitality and tourism management. In fact, the restaurant was launched after Niemeier won $20,000 in startup funds from the Burton D. Morgan Business Plan Competition. Since then, locations were initially opened in West Evansville and Newburgh, Indiana. The Champaign store is Azzip’s third location and will be followed by a fourth in East Evansville, Indiana. Currently, students at Illinois are in the process of warming up to Azzip and reactions appear positive. Check out Madeline’s review below! buzz Food & Drink Review: On a Tuesday evening, Shruti and I decided to visit Azzip Pizza, one of Green Street’s newest dining locales. Although we liked the concept of Azzip—custom pizzas made fresh in just two minutes—we both needed convincing that this fast-food joint would serve up a pie worth our dough (Pardon my puns. I have no shame). Although we found the restaurant surprisingly quiet when we stepped in around 5:30 p.m., traffic picked up after we had ordered our food and grabbed a booth. Aesthetically, Azzip has a clean, industrial feel with high ceilings,

cement floors and gray walls. While this gives the restaurant a modern vibe, the lack of color struck us as somewhat sterile—not exactly that warm, somewhat Tuscan ambiance one expects when stepping into a pizza joint. Maybe that’s just a subtle hint that Azzip doesn’t intend to deliver your average pizza experience. Azzip follows a model similar to Subway or Chipotle: customers get to choose toppings for a custommade pizza and within a few minutes, it comes out sizzling hot and ready to enjoy. Although we both wished Azzip offered some preset ingredient combos, as does Coldstone, we still enjoyed getting creative and picking our own toppings. When creating a personal pizza, customers can choose one meat and unlimited sauces and veggies for free. Extra meat costs one dollar per addition. Shruti, the meatatarian of this duo, ordered an eight-inch Little Zip pizza with traditional red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Canadian bacon and mushrooms. Pleasantly surprised by the variety of vibrant veggies offered, I opted for a Little Zip with pesto, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, artisan olives and sundried tomatoes. In addition to pizzas, we also ordered chocolate chip cookies, which Azzip serves warm and gooey for just 50 cents. For just around eight dollars each, we got a hot, satisfying meal and

dessert. While I’d prefer to spend a little less on one dinner, saving half the pizza or sharing with a friend could make it more reasonable for the typical (read: broke) college student. With thin, pleasantly crispy crust, the pizzas nicely showcased the quality ingredients we chose. Although subtle beneath several layers of toppings, the red sauce had a sweet, tangy flavor. And while the pesto sauce didn’t add much to my pizza, a perfect veggie-to-crust ratio and fresh ingredients kept me happy. Overall, we decided that Azzip fits in a category all its own when it comes to campus dining. Quicker than some of our favorite local pizza joints, like Papa Del’s and Pizza M, and fresher than most fast food spots, Azzip has its own niche on Green Street. While you can’t go in expecting gourmet pizza, you can expect a step above your average fast-food joint, an interactive dining experience, a variety of top-notch ingredients and a fresh, hot meal served up in a zip. Azzip Pizza is located at 505 E Green St and is open from .11 a.m. until 9 p.m. from Sunday-Thursday, and is open until 10 p.m.Friday-Saturday.

THE

Giertz Gallery at Parkland College has a new exhibition on display, sure to let your love of art soar high. Featuring work by Barbara Kendrick and Monique Luchetti, past classmates and long-term friends, “Ornithology: Works by Barbara Kendrick and Monique Luchetti” is an exhibition swirling with vividly colored drawings and collages of birds that reflect our daily interactions with nature. »buzz: What made you decide to express your message with birds? »Monique Luchetti: The language of using birds in art isn’t a new one—it’s sort of a trope that’s been around for a long time, but what the connection was with our work was how human beings interact with the animal kingdom. We both investigate the animal world for connections with humans and how humans are. I’ve been working with the image of birds since about 2006, and it’s gotten more specific in the past four or five years where I use specific species. In the past it was more just the image of the birds. Barbara had always used animals, but then she had collages that had birds in them, and we discussed the idea of making a show surrounding just that. »Barbara Kendrick: I guess I’ve been kind of exploring birds for several years. I used the birds because, for a while, I had an arbitrary rule for myself where I had to include animal, vegetable and mineral. The birds were an inclusion to that in part because I was trying to figure out where my relationship is with animals these days. It is such a recurring topic because of our interest in the way animals are becoming extinct or endangered species. I think there is just a lot more interest and a lot more research done on our connection to the animal world. I found it a challenge [to use bird imagery],

because birds, as they are used in art, are often depicted as very pretty and beautiful - which they are, but they’re also sentimental in their depiction. I was trying to avoid those areas. I was trying to get away from those things. I also wanted to use them metaphorically, and I was interested in thinking about what would happen if we switched the roles. These smaller animals seem almost powerless to me, so in some cases they were depicted as more powerful in an imaginary scenario. »buzz: You mentioned you’re a retired professor from Illinois. That said, how long have you been involved with art? »BK: Well, I got a late start. I went back to school in the 70s to get a BFA at the University of Nebraska, and there I studied printmaking and sculpture. Then I had children entering college, so I had to wait a while. Then I went to Ohio State for my MFA, and that’s where I met Monique… I was a non-traditional student and she was a regular, traditional student. We’ve known each other for 30 years, and we’ve admired each other’s work for all that time. More recently, she lives in Brooklyn now, and I went to stay with her for a while… later on, we decided it would be fun to show our work together. We thought it’d be a good thing, not just fun, but our work actually did make some connection, and that’s why we proposed an exhibition. »buzz: Was there an experience that made you pay closer attention to how humans and animals interact? »ML: I can list lots and lots of stuff. We are just another species on the planet. We just happen to be the species that are the caretakers of the planet… We’re in our own evolutionary model, and the climate change aspect of our interaction with other species, and we have populated every part of the earth. Whether

Photo by Molly Blazier

we can coexist and prevent others from going extinct, we’re still just another species. That’s the real interaction that I think about a lot and how we’re not as different as we think we are. I should speak for myself. I always thought humans were somewhat different, because we have a consciousness. But now, I truly believe other species have consciousness. Maybe not like ours, but in similar ways and incredible ways that surpasses ours. »buzz: What were some of your methods behind putting together the pieces and the gallery? »BK: The objects that I chose are from our everyday world. There’s one actually on the announcement that’s a woman with red tights standing on a stool. In that one, there are a couple things going on. First of all, instead of the St. Francis statue, where he stands with his arms open, and the birds are lined on his arms, this is my feminist parody on that. It’s a woman, St. Franny, and she’s standing there as if she’s juggling these tires. That’s my interest in how birds build nests in many strange places. They adapt to very urban environments, and that really interested me. »ML: I start with the paper. Because it starts off as small sheets, I glue it up to make it larger, but it really depends on the size of the bird. I usually draw them to human scale, so they’re quite large, maybe seven feet. »buzz: How do your works complement each other? »ML: I think [the collection] gives you different aspects on how you can use bird imagery. I think that they both have content with a lot of substance. I think when you put those kinds of things together, or work together, that is about something, and (I’m talking about Barbara now)

someone spent a lot of time working to create incredible work, it goes with a lot of things. It’s like good food. If you put two good foods together, they usually complement each other. It doesn’t even matter what they are. »buzz: Do you have any new projects in the works? »BK: I’ll be leaving for Amsterdam for a month, so I’ll be making collages and taking photographs and completing drawings. I don’t know what will be the outcome from that work, but it’ll be a new project for me. »ML: I’ve been doing these drawings for a year or two, and I just finished another body of work, and it’s going up in Vermont. Right now everything is out of the studio, but I’ll start work again with the next drawings. »buzz: Any last words? »BK: One thing that you need to be aware of is that there are two different approaches to bird imagery and our work. However, we are connecting with how we want to express some type of human connection through our work. We’re really happy with the show and the support we got from Parkland. What we’re hoping is that, because our expression about birds may be different from what you normally think of bird drawings or collages, it’ll be different to come out and see a new approach to it and maybe have a new way to think about birds. »ML: I hope they check out the work, or they can go to my website. I’d love to hear any comments from people. “Ornithology: Works by Barbara Kendrick and Monique Luchetti” will be on display until Nov. 7 at Parkland's Giertz Gallery, located at 2400 W Bradley Ave in Champaign.

indie rock band Cursive heads to The Highdive this Saturday night to play a Pygmalion show with Looming and Withershins. Active since 1995, the band has released seven full-length albums. We caught up with Cursive’s Matt Maginn ahead of tomorrow’s show to discuss the band’s history, their recent remaster of The Ugly Organ and how the band has changed over time. »buzz:: When I was emailing your press contact, Amanda, she was telling me about how you guys are going to be playing music from across the band’s 20year life span. Can you talk a little more about that? »Matt Maginn: Yeah. I’d say we tend to focus on Domestica through I Am Gemini. We released a reissue of our fourth record, The Ugly Organ, last year. We’ve been playing more of that lately, too. It’ll be a pretty good mix though, but it’ll be more heavily on our last record and The Ugly Organ. »buzz: Why did you guys decide to have The Ugly Organ remastered? »MM: That’s a good question. Ideally we would like to do all of them just because it’s fun to get a new master out of these records that you’re so used to. But it was mostly the label’s idea, though. It was the biggest selling record already. So, I think they thought, you know, popular demand. People would want to hear that one remastered more than others maybe. [laughs] I don’t know. We would love to remaster any of those from over 10 years ago just because times have changed, technology has changed and you would get a broader spectrum of sound out of these recordings if we give them another shot at mastering. »buzz: If you were to remaster another record, which one would it be? »MM: I would be tempted to remaster Domestica next. Maybe just because we were still getting comfortable with that sound at the time. If I remember correctly, when we were recording with Mike Mogis - who we work with all the time - he was working with a new recording studio as well. I think it would just be cool to hear it redone, and if we don’t like how it sounds, we won’t do anything with it. It’d be fun to try. I’d love to do them all, but I think that would be the next one. »buzz:: You guys were the first band, or one of the first, to sign onto Conor Oberst’s record label. Do you have any cool stories about that? »MM: I’m not sure if we were the first. It was a collective thing with him and his brother, who is in our band, and then later on the rest of us.

thing that sticks out from working with him? »MM: [laughs] Gosh, I don’t know. He tried to be our drummer one time, but we didn’t let him. buzz: You guys have been around since 1995, correct? »MM: Yeah. Crazy. »buzz:: How you say the band’s sound has changed over its lifespan? What influenced these changes? »MM: I would say, what influenced the changes is whatever we were listening to at the time. It has kind of meandered. It started off almost slow and heavy. That would be like our first record, which reminds me of a harder, rocker, metaller version of this band called Codeine, who I loved from the 90s. They had this beautiful slow grind to their music. Later, the poppier stuff was maybe influenced by Archers of Loaf. The rock, the heavier stuff, was influenced by Fugazi, Quicksand and other bands at that time. And then, I don’t know. Over time it kind of just evolved on its own in a way. We just played so many songs together and wrote so many songs together that we sort of fell into our sound. As a result, we sort of tweaked what that sound was. Even songs from The Ugly Organ like “Art Is Hard” have a sort of swing beat or style to it which really wouldn’t have made sense on Domestica. It just kind of evolved. Once we felt we found the sound of what Cursive sounds like when we all play together, it allowed us to branch off into things that weren’t all in the same vein. It kind of goes all over the map, honestly. It’s funny. It kind of meanders, because I feel like Tim and I go full circle. It meanders - that’s how I would describe our evolution. »buzz:: The Champaign area, I feel, has a vibrant local music scene. What advice would you give to local bands right now who are just starting up and trying to get their name out there? »MM: I would say just keep writing what you think is the best stuff and play out of town as much as possible, really. And foster a community of support amongst the other bands - like where everyone is positive and supports each other. That way, you’re all pushing each other to do better, write better and all that stuff - kind of like a healthy mentoring of each other. »buzz: Can you talk about the band’s own local music scene and how you guys went through it to become what you guys are now? »MM: We grew up watching other local bands that we, sort of, followed around, went to all their shows and learned from them. A lot of them toured and that’s what sort of inspired us to just do it, you know? We saw them just going for it, and we thought we could do it too. We got lucky. We had the guys, at the same time as we were,

who were touring and playing locally. We were friends with the guys who started up The Faint and Conor who does Bright Eyes and Desaparecidos. Everyone was kind of trying to impress each other in a healthy way. It was a really positive interaction between the bands in a way, where you would love what they had just done, and you’d be like “god dang, they’re taking it to another level.” It encourages you to push further and harder. »buzz:: What you say was the band’s toughest challenge and how did you move past it? »MM: Hmm. The toughest challenge? One that I think all bands face is finding how to tour, finding the time to tour, finding a way to release your music or get people to hear it. That’s probably the universal challenge. I don’t know. I think we just got past it by looking at touring as a vacation. We just worked as much as we could while we were at home, so then we wouldn’t have to worry if only six people showed up to hear us. We could still survive. Ideally, that’s the way it works. Those six hopefully tell some of their friends and next time you come, you have eight or 12. I think the biggest hurdle that most bands have are the financial parts. If you continue to view it as your art or your passion and not your job, then you’re going to be a lot better off, because we definitely don’t have any expectations to ever break even on a tour. And I think getting past that concern is what gave us the freedom to just keep going for it and not worry about it, because we were working all the time at home. We still do. I think that lets stupid things like money not get in the way of your art. »buzz:: I usually don’t interview musicians with as much experience as you. I was hoping you could talk about your life as a musician in general. The pros, cons and everything in between. »MM: I don’t think any of us are typical musicians, because we all work when we’re home. Tim has three bands, so he doesn’t [laughs]. But in general, most of us have other jobs, but I would say it’s really rewarding. It’s awesome. It’s something I don’t think any of us thought we would be able to do. Having two jobs, one of them being a musician, is pretty awesome. Especially for as long as we’ve done it. I think we would have been happy to do it for a year or two, but somehow we survived as long as we have. I work at home. I worked at the label for a while. We own a bar now. That all allowed us to keep playing music. Growing up, I always thought that eventually you’ll be forced into that hole of taking some nine to five anywhere for anything, but we’ve avoided it so far which is good. »buzz: What can we look forward to in the future for Cursive?

»MM: Um. I don’t know. We’re kind of waiting to get inspired to do another record. I thinks it’s going to be - well, I don’t know what it’s going to be [laughs]. We’re kind of waiting for some real motivation or a eureka moment to get back to writing. If and when that happens, whatever we do is going to be awesome. »buzz:: What would you say has sparked that motivation in the past? »MM: Usually it would be whatever is happening in our life. A lot of time it was just life and social climate of the world. A lot of those things kind of ball up. I guess it’s hard to pinpoint. Between every record we never knew if we would do another one. It’s always kind of hard to know when it hits. It usually starts with Tim or Ted having an idea for a song or even a whole record or piece. It usually starts with them since they are, sort of, the creative catalyst of the group. Once we have the idea, we write it all together. I think that is the magic question, because I don’t think anyone knows what drives you to that point other than the usual things of like life and love and strife. Who knows. »buzz:: Is there anything that you want to say before we wrap up? »MM: I hope everyone is doing fine. [laughs] I don’t know. If I were going to say anything: our existence is based around a community, which we hold dear, so I would hope anyone who is reading your piece locally would encourage bands there to go for it and support them when they do play at home before they go back on tour. Just have positivity in that pro-art community. Cursive will perform this Saturday, October 10 at The Highdive with Looming and Withershins. Doors at 6:30 p.m. $15 dollars. Ages 19+.
