STUDENT LIFE 11 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT . . .

THE

ACADEMY AWARDS

THE ACADEMY AWARDS IS LIKE PROM FOR HOLLYWOOD BUT THERE ARE CAMERAS AND A BUNCH OF STRANGERS GET TO WATCH FAMOUS PEOPLE WIN AWARDS FOR PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE. WOW, IT’S A LOT WEIRDER THAN WE REALIZED. ANYWAY, HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NIGHT.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

4

PEOPLE LOVE WATCHING IT In 2015, about 37.26 million viewers watched the ceremony. However, the year before 43.74 million viewers tuned in. Maybe this year will set a record with Leo’s potential first win and the controversy regarding the lack of diversity.

10

IT TOOK 24 YEARS FOR THE SHOW TO BE TELEVISED

6

THE THING’S HEAVY It’s a pretty common occurrence that first-time Oscar winners will clutch their award and exclaim “It’s heavy!” in their excitement. That’s because it is heavy. The award is about 13 1/2 inches tall and weighs about eight and a half pounds. This is essentially what holding a gallon of milk feels like.

5

In 1953, the Academy Awards were televised for the first time by NBC, 24 years after the first awards show in 1929.

CATE BLANCHETT GOT SUPER META

9

In 2004, Cate Blanchett became the first person to win an Oscar for portraying an Oscar winner. She played Katharine Hepburn in “The Aviator” opposite Leonardo Dicaprio.

THE FIRST ONE WASN’T A HUGE DEAL

4

That first ever Academy Awards had an audience of 270 people, tickets cost $5 and it was held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. To compare, the current venue is the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, which seats 3,400.

ONLY THREE HAVE WON THE BIG FIVE

8

The five main awards, best picture, director, actor, actress and producer, are known as the “Big Five.” The only three films that have won those are “It Happened One Night”, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Silence of the Lambs”.

WINNING AT AFTER-LIFE Several nominees have passed in between making their film and the award ceremony, but only two have ended up winning the award they were nominated for. Most famously, Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor for his role as Joker in “The Dark Knight” about a year after his death. Peter Finch won for his role in “Network” in 1976.

7

HE HAS A NAME

3

MERYL IS A QUEEN Meryl Streep has been nominated a record 19 times in her life and has won two Oscars for best actress and one for best supporting actress for her roles in “Kramer vs. Kramer,” “Sophie’s Choice” and “The Iron Lady.”

2

JOHN WILLIAMS IS A LIVING LEGEND Meryl may be a queen but composer John Williams is pure legend.

He is the most-nominated living person, having been nominated 49 times throughout his career beginning in 1967. He has won five times, but that could change this year with his “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” nom!

1

11 IS A MAGIC NUMBER The most Oscars any film has ever won is 11, but there have been three films to meet that record. “Ben-Hur,” “Titanic” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” have all won 11 Oscars.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

The statue that everyone gets is officially called the Academy Award of Merit but everyone lovingly refers to it as “Oscar.” According to legend, the Academy librarian Margaret Herrick said that the little gold man looked like her Uncle Oscar and the name stuck.

10 A.M. COFFEE AND BREAKFAST After the long journey to the fest, you’re going to need some energy. Start your day off right with some specialty coffee or tea from the Cappuccino Inn. If you skipped breakfast, head to the Cottage Crepe Shoppe for sweet or savory crepes, waffles and more delicious eats.

11 A.M. SNACK You’ve been walking around for an hour. Those pathway carts are starting to look tempting. Costumed food vendors located all around the fairgrounds will happily grab you a medieval-sized pickle or an Italian Icee served in a chilled orange.

FAIRE FARE

YOUR SCHEDULE FOR EATING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE ARIZONA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

H

ear ye, hear ye! We’ve created a food schedule to help you eat your way through the perfect day at the Renaissance Festival.

You’re guaranteed to work up an appetite cheering on your favorite knight or perusing the artisan marketplace, so why not feast like royalty?

Huzzah!

12 P.M. MEAT Depending on what area of the festival you’re at during lunch time, you’re mid-day meal options are endless at places like the King, Queen and Joust kitchens. While there are plenty of familiar selections available such as pizza or burritos, we suggest going for meals that you can only get at the faire like the famous turkey legs, hearty bread bowls or steak-on-a-stake. Get immersed into the Renaissance culture with these delicious fares.

1 P.M. BREAK Take this time to walk all that food off from the morning. Go watch a show, get your hair braided or visit a blacksmith. Your stomach will thank you.

2 P.M. DEEP-FRIED SOMETHING If you’re not hungry, we understand. However, you won’t regret sneaking a snack like a Scotch egg. This deep-fried concoction is made with a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage, covered in bread crumbs and fried to perfection. Enjoy other munchies like fries or onion rings. Hey, we never said this day would be healthy.

3 P.M. BOOZE If you haven’t already, now’s a good time to grab yourself an intoxicating beverage. Quench your thirst at one of the many pubs featuring signature drinks like a medieval margarita or a bloody Marie Antoinette, or go simple with wine, champagne or mead.

Young peasants, don’t fret. There are plenty of booze-free libations such as root beer floats, Italian soda and spiced apple cider.

4 P.M. CHOCOLATE ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

6

After a few drinks, indulging in a sweet treat is a must. The Chocolate Maker serves up chocolate-covered everything, including cheesecake, fruit, toffee and more. You can also make your way back to the kitchens and dive into a brownie sundae, churros and more.

5:30 P.M. PRETZEL The end is near on this flavorful day. We recommend going simple with a light, freshly-baked pretzel. Look out for a “loyal subject” carrying a pretzel tree on your way out. Salted or unsalted, these delightful twists are the perfect way to end this gastronomic adventure.

“Some days, it just inspires me to get through the day. Sometimes if I’m just stuck at a brick wall and I’m writing a paper, I’ll flip through my Pandora and I’ll try Jack Johnson, [I’ll try] Chance the Rapper, [I’ll try] ACDC. – SAM HOYLE, 19

“I’m just really passionate about music. I love listening to it and it helps get me through times, like hard times, good times. I like going to concerts, listening to it. It gets me through crappy homework and everything. I just like it.”

“Music inspires me to create and write. It gives me the motivation to do my homework and go to the gym. Even casually listening to the radio in the morning will jump start my day compared to getting ready in silence.”

“I listen to music constantly, when I’m doing homework and such, just all times, I love music. Music was my big thing before I got into politics and I listen to music everyday.”

JEROD MACDONALD-EVOY 24

What is your favorite song and why?

Hmm ... that’s a toughie. I’m really loving Selena [Gomez] right now. But Taylor Swift is one of my all-time favorites.

So I’ll got with Taylor. I would have to say that my favorite song of hers’ is “I Knew You Were Trouble.” It’s just so catchy and although it’s a break-up song, it is so fun to dance and sing along to. I will always love “Love Song” and “Teardrops on My Guitar” though. Those are definitely her classics.

What music genre do you find yourself leaning toward?

I really just love to listen to music in my car on my way around town or when I’m with my friends, so I tend to listen to whatever is popular on the radio. For the most part, I like music that makes me happy and that I can sing along to. I think everyone has different reasons for listening to music and what kind of music they like and that just happens to be mine!

If you could be Rihanna, Blake Shelton or Paul McCartney, who would you be and why?

Hmm … part of me wants to say Rihanna, but I think I’m going to have to go with Blake. He’s just so likable. He’s good-looking, but he’s also really funny and seems to work hard when he needs to. I’m not so sure about him and Gwen Stefani, but what can you do?

Blake’s music is so fun and energetic. I only like some country music, but Blake’s songs are so good and his voice is deep and pleasant to listen to.

What is your favorite song and why?

I would probably say right now my favorite song is “Revolt” by Muse. I really like the whole album. I think it’s one of their best albums of all time. What I really like about that song is that [as part of the album] it’s part of a story and I like how it starts out with these sirens that kind of delve and turn into the keyboard and guitar and it’s really a fun song but it’s also got an interesting message.

What music genre do you find yourself leaning towards?

I lean a lot toward alternative rock and instrumental...I really like alt. rock because it’s kind of what I grew up with. Everyone in my family kind of listens to that. My father’s really big into alt. rock—got me into Pearl Jam, bands like that… And then I like instrumental because for me…

I used to be a musician, so I like listening to music that has a lot of layers [and is] a little bit more complex.

If you could be Rihanna, Blake Shelton or Paul McCartney, who would you be and why?

Oh Paul McCartney, for sure.

He’s got the musical talent of a… pretty much more musical talent than anyone else out there and he’s kind of a rock god. He set so many different kinds of techniques and standards when it comes to music and he’s constantly reinventing himself.

KNOW THE SIGNS WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE SIGNS OF DEPRESSION ARE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM BREANNE DEMORE • COLLEGE TIMES

A ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

s midterms quickly approach and the weight of schedules and classes really start to press upon us, College Times thought it was important to take the time to go over the signs of stress and depression and remind everyone how they can help themselves and their friends.

It may sound cheesy and redundant, but we truly feel that this information can never be said—or read—enough. You never know whose life you may save with just a smile and “How are you doing today?”

It’s more and more difficult to look up from our phone or computers, make eye contact and have a human interaction.

Our patience levels continue to go down and our selfcenteredness continues to rise.

However, you really never know what is going on in another person’s life until you walk in their shoes.

We spoke with Aaron Krasnow, Ph.D., the associate vice president of ASU Counseling Services and Health Services about the signs of stress and depression and what we, as sufferers or friends, can do to help.

There is no doubt that college is stressful. We’re often juggling four or more classes, a job or two, internships, friends and family, all while trying to eat and sleep a healthy amount.

But at what point is it too much stress?

Krasnow says, “Stress is a normal part of all our lives.

When stress interferes with our life by creating negative thoughts, feelings, or behaviors then it is time to reach out for help. If someone notices something different in themselves or someone else and that difference is distressing or causes problems, it is a sure sign that stress may be having a negative impact.”

So how do we know what to do when we feel that stress may be having a negative impact?

According to Krasnow, “Reaching out for help can be difficult. Even though most

people under significant stress want help, many are concerned that they will be rejected for asking for help. What we know is that contrary to our fears about asking for help, most people will help us if we are in need.”

Now what if it is a friend or acquaintance that we start to worry about? What if they get upset or offended that we bring it up? What if they laugh at us? Krasnow and the ASU Counseling Services have advice for that situation too.

“Similarly, when we recognize someone we know is experiencing significant stress, we may be worried about asking if they want or

need help. In this case, as in seeking help for ourselves, most people respond well to being offered help. Sometimes they’ll take the help right away, or sometimes it plants a positive seed in their mind so that they know help is there when they want it. We encourage anyone who recognized signs of significant stress or symptoms of anxiety or depression to seek professional help. ASU offers confidential mental health and counseling services to students throughout its four campus locations. Counselors are available in person and over the phone, no appointment necessary.”

illenials get a bad rep for breaking the norm, but that’s not always a bad thing. In a time where modern technology is being integrated into our professional lives more and more, industries should learn to adapt to the ever-evolving business world. The music industry is no exception.

Back in the day, the profit model for record labels was flawless: Labels invested money into a musician and took a big chunk of the profits.

The artist would sell records and the label would make their money back. It was a win-win situation.

Records used to sell like crazy because it was the only way you could get music.

However, with the rise of music streaming technology like iTunes and Spotify, the old model for selling music is no longer relevant. Sales on physical copies are lower than ever, forcing hundreds of labels to go out of business or

to become subsidized, leaving artists struggling for success.

After recognizing the need for change, Phoenix-based musicians Jordan “Squirrel” Tomaeno, 22, and Zach James,

23, decided to take a stand.

“The [music industry is] operating on a model that is no longer all that profitable.

ReThink Records really operates on a brand new

model that has very little ties to the standard recording contract,” Tomaeno says.

The twenty-somethings recently launched ReThink Records, a subscription-based

record company in Tempe.

They have contracts, but not your typical contracts. Instead of taking a majority of profits CONTINUES ON 20

Okay, to be fair, there are probably a lot of other things about our society that cavemen would be astonished by before candles, but we think they would be pretty damn impressed by our control over that hot stuff.

Scented candles are so ubiquitous these days, it is almost more difficult to find one you like—especially with how expensive

Peaceful Lavender is extremely popular for a reason, it reduces stress and induces a sense of peacefulness. Jasmine relieves stress and counters anger.

Geranium is a soothing and relaxing scent. Honeysuckle, frankincense, sage and chamomile can relieve stress and alleviate mild symptoms of depression.

Clean Citrus, or grapefruit, lemon and orange, scents are often found in cleaning products and the crisp scent leaves behind fresh air. Scents modeled after the smell of fresh laundry also keep the home feeling clean.

Depending on the atmosphere that you want your place to evoke, different candle scents will fit better than others. Below we’ve broken it down by mood to tell you which candle scents to check out!

Happy Ginger is known to promote healing and confidence. Rose and other floral notes bring about a sense of warmth and romance. Vanilla adds calmness and happiness to spaces.

Sandalwood is also known to create warm, sensual moods.

Energetic Lilac can help with decision-making and improves memory. Cypress can be used as a pick-me-up and lemongrass can add a fresh energy to the home. Peppermint is also known to relieve stress while giving one energy. Other energy inducing scents include: pine, clove and patchouli.

CONTINUED FROM 18 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

like other record companies, ReThink supplies a monthly membership that includes all the services musicians need to grow successful including audio, booking, promotion, video, public relations, publishing and marketing.

“What makes us so different is what they do and why we don’t do it. We basically do everything in reverse,” Tomaeno says. “[The musicians] maintain rights to their copyright, they maintain majority share of their royalties and they pay us 20 for the services we provide,”

Tomaeno says.

The two business partners are no stranger to the world of music. James plays trumpet, trombone, ukulele and many other instruments, and has played in bands and frequents local shows here in the Valley.

“I started music in utero and from there it’s kind of just taken off,” James says.

Tomaeno played the Wurlitzer piano at his house at six years old, until he decided to shred the electric guitar as a teen.

“I was rockin’ my high socks, my Dickies shorts and my Blink-182 T-shirt and

I started playing in a band with the jackass kid down the street,” Tomaeno laughs.

He recalls begging his parents for a MR8 Digital 8-Track Recorder for Christmas so he could start sending his music to record labels.

“All I had to do was hit record and that’s how recording music happened.

In my 13-year-old-head that made perfect sense. It was the worst thing I’ve ever heard and I still have that recording.

It kind of started that obsession of recording music for me,” he says.

The guys met two hours north of the Valley in Prescott, where James and Tomaeno became roommates and started recording music in their attic.

To fuel his passion, Tomaeno used all the money from serving tables at an Italian restaurant on recording gear. While the music kept on flowing, living in a small town was going nowhere.

“The monotony in my life was driving me to want to climb up the wall and scream. I was sitting there and thinking, ‘God I wish I would I could go see a show,’ but there was

nowhere to go in this damn town and I was thinking in my head, ‘Well, why isn’t there?’”

Tomaeno says.

From there, Whisperfest was born.

“I formulated this big plan in my head that I was going to throw a music festival in Prescott, Arizona. I had no idea what I was doing. I had never thrown a show, I’ve never booked a band. Why the fuck not? I could do this. I could figure this out,” he says.

Tomaeno told his friends he wanted to plan a music festival, and James was the only one who decided “to ride

drunk and they said, ‘Come play trombone for us,’” James laughs.

“You didn’t even have your trombone with you,” Tomaeno included.

“No, I had to drive all the way back to the house, pick up my trombone and drive back to the campground. It was like an hour drive. I learned the set list as we were playing it. That was lots of fun,” James says.

Fast-forward a couple years and James and Tomaeno tried to organize another festival in Phoenix with no success. James moved back to Prescott and played music

there, and Tomaeno landed a gig at TallCat Studios. He was inspired by the artists and wanted to get even more involved in the process.

ReThink Records came from the idea that artists should get the opportunity to take control of their career.

“It just kind of happened. It arose out of necessity,” James says. “We cover every genre.

We listen to everything, so we want to support everything.”

They currently represent five talented artists: Jade Sandra, Sam Era, Kirsin, E.$cott, and City on Stilts.

“We tried to get the prices

down to a place where it’s affordable and accessible. It would be worth nothing if it was expensive for musicians to come in and do this,” Tomaeno says.

As a way to get their name out, the company threw a launch party on February 3, featuring all of their artists at the Rebel Lounge in Phoenix.

In addition, they held an “Appetite for Disruption” sweepstakes where a local band, won a free six-month recording contract.

While they’ve only been in business for six months, the young entrepreneurs are

determined to “disrupt” the music industry with their new business model and hope that artists and record labels will see how profitable their model can be.

“My personal goal as a producer is that we are contributing to how their music is created, and that they leave here frustrated because we challenged them to do something they’ve never done before,” Tomaeno says.

the crazy train.”

Although there were many hurdles, Whisperfest happened. The guys managed to book over 25 bands from all over the Southwest to perform on multiple stages for an overnight festival at Whispering Pines Camp.

Featuring Valley favorites like Playboy Manbaby and Sundressed, it was the first time they organized a show of this magnitude.

“That was a really fun event. I think I ended up playing trombone for Playboy Manbaby, whom I met that night. They were all like really

THIS WIN IS SHOWING THE NATION THAT WE ARE A LEGITIMATE CONTENDER AND WE KNOW HOW TO GET BETTER AS STAFF.

DEVILISH DEFEAT

THE SUN DEVILS MEN’S SWIMMING TEAM DEFEAT UOFA AFTER 14 YEARS AO GAO • COLLEGE TIMES

A ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

fter 14 years, more than 5,000 days, the ASU men’s swimming team finally brought the glory from Tucson back to Tempe at the in-state rival swimming meet between the Sun Devils and UofA at Mona Plummer Aquatic Center on Saturday.

Since 2002, the No. 17 Wildcat men have been dominating in the pool.

Although the Sun Devils saw some hope last year, it was still a long way for the Devils’ pointswise, especially after losing all the close races.

But this year, ASU left Arizona with zero doubt winning by 36 points with 168 to 132, with five school records broken at this major dual meet.

The wait has been long but well worth it.

“It means a starting point for the future of Arizona State men’s team swimming program,” Arizona State assistant coach Dan Kesler says. “This win is showing the nation that we are a legitimate contender and we know how to get better as staff.”

Sophomore Christian Lorenz won the men’s 100- and 200yard breaststroke while setting two new school records with 53.18 and 1:54.10. Olympian Richard Bohus had three dominate wins in the 50-yard freestyle at 19.83, 100-yard freestyle at 43.09 and the 100yard backstroke. Bohus broke his own backstroke record

finally back from being injured today.”

Perhaps it was because of the unprecedented crowd appearing from the stands or the exhibition performance from some of the best swimmers in the world— Michael Phelps and Allison Schmitt—or the emotional senior day, but this historical win had something to do with the major program overhaul from head coach Bob Bowman.

After Bowman arrived in Tempe last fall, a group of professional swimmers also joined in at Mona Plummer,

from 47.16 to 46.74. For junior Barkley Perry, he tied the school record in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:42.50.

In the men’s 200-yard medley relay, Bohus, Lorenz, sophomore Tadas Duskinas, and Park finished with 1:25.65, which was also a new school record.

“Since the 2012 Olympics, I have been injured a lot and have lost motivation a little bit,” Bohus says. “Since Bob [Bowman, head coach] got here last August, I have been motivated a lot by him as well as my teammates. I’m glad I’m

including Phelps.

This new historical accomplishment also made Phelps excited for the coming season as an assistant coach.

“For me, being able to watch some of the guys working out and watch them accepting the challenge Bob gave them, it’s great and fun to watch them stepping up Gfor for the challenge,” Phelps says. “This is something I’m looking forward to next year for being able [to be] on the deck and help some of these athletes.”

UofA still has the advantage in distance swimming after today’s meet, as they won three of the distance events.

For the women’s side, the No. 14 Wildcats dominated the day with 208 points while ASU only totaled 88.

Senior Jennifer Morgan finished her last home performance strong and newcomer Marlies Ross from South Africa took first place in the women’s 400 individual medley.

This meet was also the last home meet of the season, as the Sun Devils will be going to Pac-12 Conference Championships within a few weeks. Assistant coach Kesler hopes to get many swimmers qualifying for NCAA’s as well as moving up the national rankings.

ROOT, ROOT, ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM

D-BACKS NATION COMES TOGETHER FOR FAN FEST CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

B

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

efore each home game, Arizona Diamondbacks’ PA announcer Chuck Drago calls the organization the most fan-friendly team in sports.

CEO Derrick Hall doesn’t disagree and hopes more than 25,000 D-backs followers will feel the same when they attend the Subway D-backs Fan Fest from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, February 20.

“The point is to not really guard our players from anyone or prohibit any access,” Hall says. “We want to grant full access to the stadium [during Fan Fest], give our fans the opportunity to enjoy it and take the same steps that the players do from the minute they walk 26 from the parking lot to the

clubhouse.

“Then there’s a little more knowledge when they go to the game and sit in the stands and say to friends or family, ‘When I was at Fan Fest, I went up the tunnel that the players do’ or ‘I met the broadcasters that I’m listening to right now.’

It’s important for us for fans to really know the lay of the land here and go shoulder to shoulder with the players.

They’re as fan-friendly as any players I’ve ever seen. They really get it.”

So does the top brass.

They’re sticking with previous years’ formulas because they know what works.

“It’s very similar,” Hall says.

“The feedback we’ve gotten from fans has been so positive.”

Fan Fest allows patrons to: • Visit the clubhouse • Hit in the batting cages • Take photos with players • Buy merchandise at the yard sale and store kiosks • Play whiffle ball with D-backs players, coaches and staff from the D-backs Baseball Academy • Receive information about National Anthem, Rallybacks, Golden Glovers and D-backs Legends Racers tryouts • Sign up for Gila River Casinos’ KachingKo promotion • Receive a SUBWAY cash card loaded with amounts ranging from $1 - $100 (First 3,000 visitors) “We will have basically all of our players at Fan Fest,”

Hall says. “Every player on our roster will be there—all of our coaches and manager, former managers, former players like Luis Gonzalez and J.J. Putz and broadcasters. Everyone will be there.”

And that’s OK with the players, Hall says.

“The response and feedback from them as been good,” he says. “They enthusiastically embrace the concept. We never get pushback from them. That’s the way our players are. They like to interact with the fans.

We’re very unique in that way, compared to other Major League baseball teams.”

One of the most popular parts of Fan Fest is the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation Yard Sale, which has featured

$3 T-shirts, 25-cent glasses, $5 baseballs, $30 practice jerseys, $2 bobbleheads, $3 backpacks as well as signage from Chase Field.

Sure, it’s exciting to meet players like Paul Goldschmidt, A.J. Pollock and David Peralta at Fan Fest. Hall finds another bonus.

“Anytime we start planning for Fan Fest, we know that the season is right around the corner.”

SUBWAY D-BACKS FAN FEST Chase Field, 401 E. Jefferson Street, Phoenix, 602.462.6500, arizona. diamondbacks.mlb.com, Saturday, February 20, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., free

starts on March 1, so we thought we would brush you up on some baseball fun facts!

In the mid-1800s, you could be called out between bases by having the baseball thrown directly at you. It was called “patching” and we bet it hurt pretty badly.

Every single MLB baseball is rubbed in Lena Blackburned Baseball Rubbing Mud that is only found in a secret location in New Jersey.

The first baseball uniforms included straw hats and were worn by the New York Knickerbockers in 1849.

ENTERTAINMENT SOUNDTRACK SHOWDOWN

THE OSCAR BATTLE FOR BEST ORIGINAL SCORE—WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP?

MIGUEL OTÁROLA • COLLEGE TIMES

A

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

s much talk as there was over the categories that the #OscarsSoWhite got wrong (most of it rightfully deserved), there was surprisingly little talk about the ones the Academy got right. For instance, the races for best documentary, animated film and cinematography all feature strong contenders, and act as proper chances to recognize some of the best films of the year.

One of the better categories is “Best Music (Original Score).” From the return of a legendary film composer to another composer’s second consecutive go-around, the nominees this year collectively bring decades of experience soundtracking the films of our popular culture.

I really don’t want to say I have psychic powers, but I did correctly pick last year’s winner (Alexandre Desplat’s amusing score for “The Grand

Budapest Hotel”), much to the dismay of my unsure friends.

Let’s look at the chances each original score has to win the Oscar this year.

Sicario by Jóhann Jóhannssen Jóhannssen’s score for this movie, which depicts a fictional account of the horrors of the U.S.-Mexico drug war, is some of the best dark ambient I’ve heard in quite some time.

Loud, slow pulses of low-end strings reign in this world; bits of somber melody are just temporary refuge before the harsh sounds come once more. Yet this atmosphere is a strange match for the imagery in “Sicario,” which is set mainly in Mexico and features bright desert shots.

(The only southwestern flair is some picked guitar, but once it comes it’s already too late).

This score could find a better fit in “The Revenant.”

Bridge of Spies by Thomas Newman This score starts off on a regal note, music as strong as what Russian composers would’ve aspired to make during the Cold War period the movie takes place in. After this, the score settles for the generic heart-tugging string swells that director Steven Spielberg is known for. There is a memorable segment of twinkling keys that is then repeated at the end of the film; it would’ve been great to hear variations on that more often.

Carol by Carter Burwell Todd Hayne’s film was the most beautiful thing I saw last year: Beautiful performances, beautiful cinematography, and of course, a beautiful score.

Burwell knows the formula for classic movie music like the back of his hand, having scored Hollywood releases since the ‘80s. While his pia-

no-and-strings compositions for Carol are nothing out of the ordinary, they are indeed as romantic as the relationship between the two female leads.

Burwell’s main motif is very gentle, but ultimately doesn’t vary enough as the movie goes on. This score works best when the jazz & pop period music is interspersed throughout.

The Hateful Eight by Ennio Morricone There’s really not much doubt in my mind that this score—the first Western score in 34 years by famed composer Ennio Morricone—will receive the Oscar on February 28. The Hateful Eight features the best performances of the bunch, a testament to Morricone’s many, many years in the game. The arrangements are as widescreen as director Quentin Tarantino’s 70 mm shots, painting broad lines

of dreary, winding mood.

The main motif found in the overture is repeated often, yes, but Morricone finds new and colorful ways to present its snaky charm throughout the three-hour movie. The score matches perfectly with the terrifying-yet-comical tension of the story, and works well with the other quirky tracks Tarantino included. Morricone might already have an Academy Honorary Award, but his latest effort shows he’s not done yet.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens by John Williams It’s John Williams, who has had a slot in this category in four of the last five years. It’s also “Star Wars,” which made $1 billion globally in only 12 days. Of course it got nominated. What did you expect?

BRILLZ MEANS BUSINESS

THE DJ IS LOOKING FOR “ABSOLUTE MAYHEM” WHEN HE TWONKS DI PRESSROOM IN PHOENIX DYLAN ARNDT • COLLEGE TIMES

B ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

rillz has been storming clubs and concert halls all over the country for the past few months, en route to each location via a massive tour bus housing artists who represent all things crazy, wild and out-of-control. We have been waiting anxiously for the Twonk Di Nation tour bus to bounce it’s way into Phoenix, and the time has finally come for the geekin’ to begin!

In a recent sit down with the headliner himself, we discussed with Brillz his ongoing tour and what we can expect when he and his squad demolish The Pressroom!

“The crowds have been going above and beyond with how crazy they go. We’re turning it up to 11,” Brillz says about the reception of the show.

With the crazy dial set to the max, shows have been selling out nationwide thanks to some special surprises they have saved for the final stretch of the performance: “We’ve been doing these four-man back to back sets at every show, and it just gets really wild, super unpredictable, and it gets pretty hectic in a good way!”

When asked how selling out affects the energy of a show, Brillz says that, sell out or not, “It just hits so hard. No matter what, we leave it all up there! Doesn’t matter if it’s sold out of not, at the end of the day [selling out a show] is just a cherry on top.”

With all of his closest friends in tow, the Phoenix stop also includes sets from Party Favor, Jackal and

Infuse. The Twonk Team is in top-gear, looking to provide the audience the show they deserve.

Brillz just has a few requests: “I want to see a bunch of Twonk Team gear out in the crowd. I want to see everyone dripping some sweat. And I want to see absolute mayhem.”

“I expect Phoenix to get pretty f—king wild. I want everyone to tweet me later saying it was the best show of their life.”

KEYS TO SUCCESS TRAP-HOP TRIO KEYS N KRATES BRINGS PROGRESSIVE SOUND TO CRUSH DAMIR LOLIC • COLLEGE TIMES

I ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 11, 2016

32

t’s no secret that Canada has become a hotbed for budding musicians.

Canadian electronic music trio Keys N Krates have added its name to a list of artists gaining global headway from the Great White North. Comprised of drummer Adam Tune, keyboardist David Matisse and turntablist Jr. Flo, Keys N Krates possess a keen musical versatility that can seldom be replicated.

Having been together for eight years, the trio was by no means an overnight success. That is until they signed to Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records, through which they have released three EPs.

“We are constantly messing with samples, melodies, vocal ideas and beat sketches; collectively bringing them to the table,” Tune says.

“When all three of us dig something, we all work on it until we finish it. Or the track gets scrapped or put to the side.”

Turntablist Flo cites heavyweight hip-hop producers such as Timbaland, Just Blaze, Swizz Beatz and Hit-Boy as sources of inspiration, but also claims bands like Caribou, M83 and Lotus help round out the trio’s sound.

“Guys we consider our peers like Hudson

Mohawke, Rustie and Cashmere Cat also influence us a lot,” he says. “They are making progressive instrumental rap stuff that derives from different styles.”

Their “Dum Dee Dum,” track sits at just under 60 million views on YouTube, and several of the trio’s trap-infused hip-hop remixes continue to propel its career. The foregoing mixes music video garnered the Toronto natives nomination nods for Canada’s Prism Prize, as well as a Berlin Music Award in Germany.

The art of remixing is almost as trendy as it is to make an original song these

days, but not everyone can fruitfully arrange an existing piece of music with innovative additives that pop. Typically, the trio’s approach to mixes is cautious.

“For the most part, we only take on a remix if we think we can come up with a clear vision to make it our own,” Flo says. “Something about the original, or one of the stems in the original, has to spark an idea with us.”

This year promises to be ascendant for the trio as it marked the release of its third EP titled “Midnight Mass,” for which it’s promoting with a 32-date North American

tour. Matisse reveals what fans can expect when experiencing one of their sets.

“They can expect our music, our remixes and live versions and flips of tunes that we dig and fit into our vibe; all played by three dudes live,” he says. “It’s a dance party, it’s a concert and it’s an experience.

Expand your horizons a little and people won’t see you as so pretentious.

Arizona’s sunsets are truly phenomenal.

We get it. You don’t have to post them on your Instagram every night. Also, sometimes they are just okay. Be more selective with your posts, Cancer.

Not everyone’s story can be as perfect as Lizzie and Gordo’s, okay? You being in love with your best friend is a tricky situation. Just keep it on the down-low for as long as possible to avoid those stares and looks from your friends every time you two talk.

Tax season is upon us! Just spring for TurboTax and leave those weird, free websites where they belong—in the deep, dark depths of the creepy internet. You’ll thank us later when your identity isn’t stolen.

So you embarrassed yourself on Mill Avenue last week. Don’t worry, you can totally move past this. People will soon tire of those photos of you and will move on to the next drunken slob that trips and falls.

Congratulations, you got the flu. Now it’s your responsibility to not spread it. To go to class or to not go to class—that is the question. Don’t go, you selfish sickie!

Just because you spent Valentine’s Day 2,000 miles from your significant other does not mean you can feel sorry for yourself. Go outside and go for a hike!

No really. You need some sunshine and exercise.

Watching “Making a Murderer” once— totally normal. Watching it twice—a little odd, but we get it. Watching it three times? You have a problem and need help ASAP.
