POP QUIZ

WE KNOW HOW MANY TESTS AND QUIZZES YOU TAKE, BUT WE THINK THIS ONE WILL BE YOUR FAVORITE. HERE IS A QUICK QUIZ ON SOMETHING POPULAR OR IMPORTANT THAT WE THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Who is Scott Kelly?

ANSWER: A. Kelly spent nearly a year in space to test the effects on the human body. Apparently, he is experiencing moderate pain and grew an inch and a half while up there. That must be ideal bragging rights to hold over his identical twin brother who is also an astronaut. The two brothers are the only set of siblings to ever travel in space.

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

IRELAND

TOP O’ THE MORNING TO YOU LADS AND LASSES! ST. PADDY’S DAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND IN HONOR OF THIS GREAT (AND GREEN) HOLIDAY, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO ABOUT THE OLE EMERALD ISLE. WE ALL KNOW THE IRISH HAVE PLENTY OF CRAIC, BUT HERE ARE SOME FUN FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN! SLAINTE!

11

HURLING IS LIFE Americans might think that life in Ireland couldn’t be too different from here, but one thing is definitely different—sports. Hurling is huge in Ireland, it has been around for 2,000 years and the major competition is the equivalent to the Super Bowl here. It’s kind of like field hockey but slightly more violent.

10

THERE IS A LANGUAGE BARRIER

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

4

Gaelic, the Irish language, is over 3,000 years old and was the main language on the island up until about the 1600s. In the 1900s, Gaelic really lost its foothold in the country, however today there is a resurgence to bring it back and many schools are teaching it as a second language.

9

THE TERM “IRISH CATHOLIC” IS VERY RELEVANT Approximately 90 percent of the population of the island identifies as Catholic although only about 30 percent attend church regularly.

A COUNTRY WITH HARP

8

WITH OR WITHOUT U2 Yep, Bono, the Edge and the gang were formed in Dublin in 1976 and one of their first tastes of success was winning a talent show on St. Patrick’s Day in Limerick in 1978.

7

BONO ISN’T IRELAND’S ONLY FAMOUS FACE Other famous Irish people you might have heard of are: Liam Neeson, Saoirse Ronan, Oscar Wilde, Niall Horan, James Joyce, Colin Farrell, Pierce Brosnan and Cillian Murphy.

6

SMALL POPULATION, BIG IMPACT Today, the population of Ireland is only about 4.6 million people— Arizona alone has 6.7 million people. However, between 70 and 80 million worldwide people can trace roots back to the Emerald Isle.

student life

3

Ireland is the only country in the world that has a musical instrument as its national symbol. The oldest known harp in existence dates back to at least 1300 and is currently at Trinity College in Dublin. Funny enough, Guinness registered the harp as their symbol in 1876, before it became the symbol of the country.

2

REBELLION IS IN THEIR NATURE In fact, the term “boycott” comes from one of their countrymen. Landowner Charles Boycott refused to drop his rent in 1880 and thus, a “boycott” ensued of his employees.

1

ST. PATRICK WASN’T IRISH I know, right? Mind blown. He was actually a Roman and British Christian missionary who traveled to Ireland to spread the Catholic faith in the 5th century. But there were never any snakes in Ireland, so we can’t credit him to banishing them. We bet he would enjoy a pint of Guinness with us on March 17, though!

5

IT’S NOT A RUMOR THAT THEY LIKE TO DRINK In Dublin alone, there is one pub for every 100 people. One of them, The Brazen Head, is officially Ireland’s oldest pub and dates back to 1198.

GUINNESS IS OLDER THAN THE UNITED STATES In 1759, Arthur Guinness started brewing ale at the St. James’s Gate brewery in Dublin. Months later, on December 31, 1759, he signed a 9,000 year lease for the brewery. So it’s safe to say, the Guinness Factory tour will be around for awhile.

GAME ON, POLLEN!

WIN THE WAR AGAINST SEASONAL ALLERGIES NATURALLY JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

S

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

pring is in the air, and so is pollen. Every year, allergy sufferers sneeze and sniffle their way through life due to the wonderfully evil flowers, trees and weeds filling the air with pollen. Sure, throwing back allergy medication might seem like an easy solution, but they can make you groggy and only provide a short-term fix.

Luckily, there are plenty of natural ways to stop the sinus headaches and itchy throats.

Give some of these home remedies a try, and win the war against allergies once and 12 for all.

Neti Pot You can literally wash away your allergies with a Neti Pot. Flushing out your nasal cavity with a magic lamp full of saltwater might seem a bit strange, but you’ll feel a lot better after clearing out your sinuses; just make sure to use a saline solution and sterilized water to keep all of the bacteria out.

Using a Neti Pot a few times a week can help lower your sinus discomfort, plus they come in a ton of interesting shapes, sizes and colors.

Local honey or pollen While this one hasn’t technically been proven, it’s worth a shot. The idea is that taking

small “doses” of the thing you’re allergic to can help you build up immunity to it. However, you have to make sure it’s not the honey in the mass-produced plastic bear. Local honey works best, because it supposedly contains the pollen that is irritating your nostrils. Similarly, you can buy local bee pollen and take the granules regularly.

The honey and pollen can be taken by themselves or mixed into tea, juice or other things.

Essential oils People have been using essential oils since the beginning of time to ease stress, pain and illness. But did you know there are some essential oils to help with the seasonal sniffles?

Lavender is a natural antihistamine that can create a calming environment (plus it smells great), while the freshness of peppermint oil can help open up the nasal passages. A few drops a day can help alleviate

the symptoms of seasonal allergies. Place the drops between your palms, rub together and inhale the sweet, sweet relief.

Showers Similar to a humidifier, a steam shower is an easy way to flush all the allergens out of your system. The steam in the shower will not only help you breathe easier, but the shower will also clean off all the dust, pollen and other particles you’ve accumulated during the day. Plus, you can even add a few drops of essential oils to make the experience even more relaxing.

Foods to eat/not to eat What we eat can determine how good or bad our allergies will be. Adding spices to your food like cayenne, hot peppers and even wasabi can help clear your stuffy nose. Additionally, drinking a cup of green tea every morning is great for allergy sufferers because it’s a natural antihistamine. You’ll want to avoid certain raw vegetables and fruits that contain a plant protein your body might confuse for pollen such as melons, bananas, cucumbers and teas like chamomile and hibiscus.

WE BOMBARD PEOPLE WITH THE BIG QUESTIONS TO SEE HOW THEY RESPOND NICOLE GIMPL AND ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

“Do you believe in luck? Why or why not?”

“I guess so—to an extent because there’s certain games like cards. When you play cards, it’s a game of luck. When you gamble, it’s pretty much all luck. At the same time, I kind of believe that you make your own luck.”

– ROXANNA AHMAD, FRESHMAN, ASU

“I believe in making your own luck. So I think the harder you work, the luckier. I guess you can say, you can become...In the case of me, I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am.” – FRANK SMITH, SENIOR, ASU

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

“I don’t necessarily believe in luck, but I believe in karma. So like, I think in the sense that you have good luck, if you do good things.”

– GABRIELLA BACHARA, FRESHMAN, ASU

“I don’t believe in luck. I feel like everything happens for a reason. Like say even if you win a winning lottery ticket, you were destined to get that exact ticket at that exact time. I think things were just meant to happen.”

LIAN AMMERMAN, FRESHMAN, ASU

DILLON MCGILL, GRAD STUDENT, ASU

Do you think you have good or bad luck? Why? I think I have good luck, just because I think I’m in a good place. And I don’t really have much to complain about, so I think I’ve had good fortune.

Do you think you have good or bad luck? Why? I think I’m about even. I have been fortunate to have many wonderful things happen in my life, but then I’ll trip and spill my coffee everywhere.

Just when I think I’m leaning one way or the other, something tips the scales.

Do you think that some people are naturally luckier or that it all kind of evens out?

I think maybe it kind of evens out. I think we make what we do of certain situations and that’s kind of how everything goes. I think it’s more of a mindset, like if you’re positive, more positive things will happen. I think it’s like an even thing.

When was a time that you think luck played a big role in something?

I guess being able to come here was lucky for me because I’m from Michigan, so it’s kind of a long journey.

I thought that was really cool because I’ve always wanted to go out of my comfort zone and go try something new. I wanted to go to a different place, and I was lucky that this opportunity was available to me and that I was able to come here and do what I wanted to do.

Do you think that some people are naturally luckier or that it all kind of evens out?

I don’t know because I would like to believe that it all kind of evens out but then look at someone like Justin Bieber. It definitely appears that way more good happens to that guy than a regular Joe. But I guess you never know until you walk in someone else’s shoes.

When was a time that you think luck played a big role in something?

Before I went back to school, I moved to Phoenix to be a part of Teach for America.

I was randomly assigned to Phoenix and it just so happened that my best friend was from there. I think I really lucked out that I grew to love Phoenix so much— AND that my best friend ended up moving back here.

FINDING YOUR PLACE HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU BELONG IN A BIG SCHOOL FROM SOMEONE WHO JUST DID IT ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

16

A

SU likes to throw around this motto a lot: “You can make a big college small, but you can’t make a small college big.”

I can’t even count how many times I’ve heard it.

Hearing it so often might bug me, if it weren’t so true.

Finding your place is all about forming your own community, or communities.

We do it all the time, with friend groups, classes, teams and clubs. Yet, when we’re first starting out in a new place, it can seem so hard. It can be so easy to make ourselves think

we’ve forgotten all our social skills. But, humans need each other for all sorts of things. If you want to make it in a big college, you just have to figure out which group you fit into the best.

First things first, go to a club fair. Well, there is something you have to do before a club fair actually: you have to figure out what it is you like. If the thought of defining yourself freaks you out as much as it freaks me out, it could help to make a mental note, or an actual list, of what you’re looking for. Think about

what music you like, what your favorite TV shows and movies are, what activities you participated in during high school. I guarantee you, there’s a club for it. And if there isn’t, it’s way easier than you think to start a club.

Once at the club fair, get a map. Usually the clubs will be arranged according to area of interest. Find a few that you really like, maybe three at first (it’s hard to really keep up with much more than that) and attend their meetings.

Next up is forming communities within your

dorm. These are the people you will see every day and if you don’t talk to them, in your new home, it can feel very isolating.

Take part in all the activities you can in the first week. Even if you think they’re childish, you’re probably barely 18 or 19, and definitely not too old to let out the child in you. Try sitting out in the lounge and chatting with the people who walk by.

Odds are, they want to make friends too and most people are not bothered by a quick hello; it could lead to something great.

DOUBLE PLAY

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF TWO SUN DEVIL BASEBALL PLAYERS NICOLE CHOSKI • COLLEGE TIMES DAVID JOLKOVSKI

P

eople who do not play baseball often think that the game is pretty simple and that every player is the same; this is the furthest thing from the truth.

Even though Zach Cerbo, catcher, and Daniel Williams, outfielder, are both juniors, play

for ASU and have been playing since they were children, they are different in so many ways.

With the season just beginning, players are still learning how to adjust to each other and the different playing styles. Cerbo and Williams have seemed to make the transition

rather well and have already hit it off—or become fast best friends.

The Sun Devil’s season got underway on February 19, with a weekend meeting against the Xavier Musketeers. ASU secured victories in all four games played between the teams.

When College Times spoke to the players in late February, they were preparing for a weekend series at Long Beach State. We spoke with each player separately to figure out what a day in their life was like.

CONTINUED FROM 21

ZACH’S SCHEDULE Of course, being a student athlete is something that takes a lot of time and dedication. A lot of students can barely handle their classes on top of maintaining a social life, let alone playing a full time sport, too. Somehow Cerbo makes it work.

Of course physically going to class is almost impossible for him because of his demanding baseball schedule, so all of his classes are online. The key is all about time management.

Yet, time management might slightly go awry when it comes to a game day.

11 a.m.

“I’m waking up, sleeping in. Making a big breakfast. I like to make eggs, so probably making an egg omelet. ” After Breakfast “Hang out for a little bit, probably watch some TV, or play some Xbox. And then call D-Willy [Williams] for a ride to get to the field. Then I will have lunch at the field and then go through our stuff.”

ZACH CERBO – CATCHER

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

22

Cerbo, the back-up catcher, is a junior at Arizona State and is studying Criminal Justice and Criminology. He is originally from Montville, New Jersey, but made the decision to move across the country to fulfill his passion and dreams of one day playing for ASU. “I actually played a lot of infield growing up, I played a lot of shortstop actually,” Cerbo says. “Once I got [to be] about nine, I got really stocky and my dad just threw me behind the plate and I’ve caught ever since.”

Growing up, Cerbo and his family would come to Arizona for vacation, always around the

start of ASU baseball season.

They would make a trip to the ballpark and be sure to catch a few games while they were in town.

That created the desire to one day play baseball for ASU, and now Cerbo is living that dream.

Before ASU, Cerbo attended Bergen Catholic High School, where he was a varsity letterman all four years and a captain for two. In 2013, his senior year, Cerbo was awarded All State, All County, All League and Bergen County Player of the Year Honors.

He also started in the New Jersey All-Star game that year.

Throughout his high school career, Cerbo batted .524 with 11 doubles, two triples and 4

homeruns. He had a .627 onbase percentage with a .854 slugging percentage.

After high school, Cerbo knew he wanted to continue his baseball career in college.

“This is the only place I wanted to be,” said Cerbo. “It’s just been my dream my whole life to be at this school and to play baseball here.”

There really aren’t many things that Cerbo does that the rest of the team won’t.

Yet, each game can be seen as studying for a test in a way. He will have to look through lineups and remember who hits what and who can’t hit certain pitches, too.

“I love it, I mean I love shortstop, but I love catching, I really do.”

sports

DANIEL’S SCHEDULE Williams has a little more adjusting to do, seeing as though he is a new part of the team as of this fall, although he seems to be integrating rather well.

In fact, some of the other players may want to follow in his footsteps when it comes to his dedication, especially on game days.

8 a.m.

“I get woken up by my dog. And then I run to McDonalds. I run? I drive. I get a vanilla ice coffee, everyday, even before practice.”

1:30-2 p.m.

“I come here [the field] and grab our assistant coach Abe Ruiz. We go out to the cages, play some music and we just swing. Just kinda get comfortable with my swing.”

3:45 p.m.

“It’s jog and stretch and then everything after that is planned.”

6:30 p.m.

Game Time and spit out gum.

“I have to have two pieces of gum in, but never during the game. Like right before the game starts, I spit it out.”

With games getting over late, and night games often being followed by a day game, the only thing to do after the game is to get to sleep as quickly as possible.

Williams, a centerfielder for the team, is a junior who transferred from Weatherford Community College in Weatherford, Texas. Originally from Round Rock, Texas, he came to Arizona to continue his passion for playing baseball after his career at junior college ended.

While only at Weatherford for two years, Williams made an impact. By improving in almost every offensive category be-

tween freshman and sophomore year such as runs, hits and RBIs, Williams proved he can take training and put it to work.

Even though his career at Weatherford ended, Williams was a valuable player to that team and can only hope to do the same while at ASU, and like most of the other players, Williams is taking all online classes for the semester. The difference between him and most college students is that he actually enjoys them.

But one wouldn’t think that the outfield is a player’s first

choice, especially with most of the popularity from fans being given to the infielders, but for Williams he really enjoys being a centerfielder.

After being moved all over the diamond and playing almost every position possible, around 13 he was told he should be an outfielder, and has been there ever since.

“I love it,” Williams says. “It’s laid back. Infield has to give signs and there is a lot of reading into it and outfielders are just being told where to play and see a ball and catch it and go run

it down.

“As an outfielder, eventually you get used to where the wall of play is or how the ball plays in certain corners or the gaps.

Also having a communication when fielding with your other outfielders [is necessary]. So I wouldn’t say it’s easy, but it’s definitely not something that’s difficult.”

Being in the outfield really allows you to enjoy playing the game without having to get into all the science behind it; but even though there aren’t signs to learn or too much reading in-

volved, the outfield is not a place you can just walk out to the first day and be a master. There are still things you have to learn and adjust to.

Even though Cerbo and Williams have only been teammates for a few months and have only played a handful of games together, they are already becoming great friends.

Let’s hope this translates to great chemistry on the field as the season progresses.

SPRING CLEANING TIPS FOR THE COLLEGE STUDENT JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

D

uring the spring semester, your brain can feel like a mess. While you can’t control how busy you are, you can control the messes around you. With a hectic schedule and a small space, it can be hard to keep your living area clean in college. Having a clean place to study makes a huge difference when it comes to focusing.

As students, we might think that we don’t have time to clean, but keeping things organized can actually help alleviate stress. Take control of your life with these tips that are sure to help keep your space (and mind) free of clutter.

Containers are your best friend Having a small space can be frustrating. If you have a lot of stuff but still want to keep a clean space, you can try out some storage containers. These are especially helpful in a dorm setting, where there are containers specifically made for tight spaces like under the bed and over the door.

Plus, they can be labeled to make finding things easier. Just make sure to use them only for organizing and not for junk or the mess will get even bigger.

Free stuff isn’t always free College is the land of the freebies, but let’s face it: you really don’t need 25 water bottles taking over your desk. Free is the magic word for college students, but that doesn’t mean you need to accept all of it. With limited space, it’s best to clear out these unnecessary items.

Only keep the clothes you need If you travel back home throughout the semester, one good trick for keeping your closet organized is to only bring the clothes you need. Grab all of your winter clothes during the

fall semester and then when you return home for holiday break, start switching out your winter gear for spring attire.

If you don’t travel back home, another good tip is to hang all of your clothes backwards until you use them. Any clothes still hanging the wrong way after a few months should be donated or sold.

Stop seeing double If you don’t have a lot of room, there’s no need to have multiples of everything. If you find yourself with too many bowls or numerous binders, start asking yourself if you really need them all.

For the sake of space, it’s best to stop buying multiples of items you already have. Plus, this makes room for other things that you’ve been wanting.

Pick up after yourself The easiest way to keep a clean space is to always keep it picked up. Even if you don’t feel like washing that cup right now, it will save you from piling up dishes in the sink later.

When you walk in the door, hang up your coat in the closet. Little chores like these will make cleaning less of a chore and more of a lifestyle.

he Iowa Caucus usually marks the beginning of the election cycle, the time when people really should start paying attention to the presidential race and when big changes in the candidate pool come quickly. On February 1, eyes around the nation tuned in to see who would emerge victorious in each party.

Bernie Sanders, running for the Democratic nomination, did not emerge victorious that night. Losing by an insignificant margin, he used the spotlight to spread his platform and thank his supporters. After ending his evening speech, the speakers cut to the glorious chorus of David Bowie’s “Starman,” audible even over boisterous cheers.

Using one of Bowie’s greatest hits felt like a respectful choice—the legendary artist had died less than a month before the caucus. Most of the time, it seems the relationship between candidate and musician is much more strained.

A candidate’s use of music by an artist or band that completely disagrees with

the candidate’s platform is nothing new. Yet politicians continue to do the same thing every election cycle, bringing out the voices of exploited musicians and shedding light on how music can represent an ideology.

One of the tightest combinations of music and politics I can remember (I’m talking recent here, not “Yankee Doodle” or “Hail to the Chief.”) is that of country artist Gretchen Wilson and the Republican party. Ever since “Redneck Woman” became a hit in 2004, Wilson found strength—or rather, the party did—using her hearty and roots-heavy music to push the GOP platform.

Sometimes songs by lesser known bands are used on the campaign trail. Take The National, whose song “Fake Empire” was used during the 2008 Democratic National Convention to represent Barack Obama. For a band that was coming off a critically praised album, this use proved an immense boost for them.

(It didn’t hurt that the band strongly supported Obama.)

Since that 2008 election, everyone from Kid Rock to Bruce Springsteen has had their music featured after stump speeches and in commercials. Many of these are artists that have prominent political views. The problems often arise when bands don’t want to be involved in a political game. This is true all over the world, like when indie group The xx knocked down a Croatian political organization for using one of their songs in 2013.

One of the latest candidate-v.-musician debacles in-

volves instrumental rock band (and TV-soundtrack-masters) Explosions in the Sky. When someone alerted the band one of their songs was being used in a campaign video for GOP candidate Ted Cruz and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, they responded with, “Those are two people we don’t like very much. We’ll get to the bottom of this.”

And so they did. The next day the video was removed, as the Cruz camp did not seek rights to use the song. For campaigns seeking to have the perfect soundtrack to inspire

potential voters, they still have to understand the simple concept of artist approval—and copyright laws.

Until that time comes, I have an easy solution for candidates: Just write your own campaign song. Take cues from Donald Trump’s EDM theme song, performed by a couple of red-white-and-blueclad kids who go by the name “The Freedom Girls.”

Actually, don’t do that. That song is creepy as hell.

THE BEAUTY OF SUCCESS FANS APPARENTLY FIND FALL OUT BOY ‘IRRESISTIBLE’ CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

or Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman, his home life with his wife and 2-year-old daughter seem like they would juxtapose his professional career.

But, like his 15-year run with Fall Out Boy, his daughter is aging at the blink of an eye.

“I just took my daughter, who’s almost 2, to a preschool just to see if she liked it and to see if they liked us,” Trohman says via telephone from his Los Angeles-area home.

“I was looking at these kids and thinking about by 26

the time they’re my age, I’m going to be in my 60s. That is crazy and I can’t believe I’m already in my 30s. I can’t believe I have a child and that I’m taking her to preschools.

Time, in general, has gone by so quickly. Ten years is a blip and it’s been 15 years. In my head I’m the same age, but in the mirror I am not the same age.”

In the here and now, Trohman—along with bandmates Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley—is on tour promoting Fall Out Boy’s latest album, American Beauty/American

Psycho, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

“We’re pretty surprised with the success of [2013’s] Save Rock ‘n’ Roll and American Beauty, it’s still rolling,” he says “We’re very blown away because the same people could have forgotten us when we went away. They embraced us when we came back. They could have gotten sick of us and yet they embraced us.

We’ve gotten really lucky.”

He’s referring to Fall Out Boy’s more than two-year hiatus, during which each

musician explored other artistic endeavors. Stump embarked on a solo career, while Wentz formed the electronic duo Black Cards with vocalist Bebe Rexha. He also penned a novel, “Gray,” and hosted the reality tattoo show “Best Ink.” Hurley played with several rock bands, including The Damned Things with Trohman, Every Time I Die’s Keith Buckley and Anthrax’s Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano.

Upon reuniting, the catch was all four guys had to return to Fall Out Boy. “There was a guy who

worked for a record label in Japan,” Trohman says.

“When he heard our band was on hiatus, he was talking to our manager and he said, you take this band and this band and this band and that sounds like Fall Out Boy together.

“If you took Fall Out Boy and separated them, together that would make the cake. We have all of the ingredients.

We realize you can’t come back and remove an aspect of the band, meaning a member of the band, and still be the band.”

Fall Out Boy is celebrating

came about to include Demi.

The moment she started tracking it, it sounded great and here we are. We’re realizing the song the way we wanted to release it in the first place.”

Fans may hear that song when Fall Out Boy plays Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix on Friday, March 25.

“It’s a different production,” he says. “We’re trying to change up the setlist and throw some songs in that we haven’t played much, before, at all before, or songs we haven’t played in a long time.

“We have a lot of songs,

which is a good place to be in.

It’s easy for us to do a setlist of hit songs, but I think that can get monotonous. There’s a time and place for the hit song setlist. With a tour like this, we want to go through our catalog and find fan favorites that we haven’t done in while.”

WHOLE NEW WORLD

A GREAT BIG WORLD SLATED TO PLAY FIRST PHOENIX CONCERT CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

ith incredibly personal songs like “We Hold Each Other” and “One Step Ahead,” A Great Big World is a band that pulls at the heartstrings.

That’s the same effect the songs have on their founders, 28 Ian Axel and Chad King, who

released their latest album, When the Morning Comes, on November 13, 2015. “‘One Step Ahead’ is, for me, a difficult song to sing,” Axel says of one of the new tracks. “That’s was the song I proposed with to my fiancée.

Playing it for the first time

at a show—with my fiancée there—that was really, really difficult. I felt exposed.”

King, who swaps vocal duties with Axel, shares that “We Hold Each Other” is tough.

“But sometimes, for me, it’s different,” he says about the

song’s effects. “Sometimes it’s for someone in the audience who I imagine needs to hear that message and can hopefully be affected by it, inspired by it or moved by it.

“It depends on where my headspace is at. It’s never the same from any perfor-

mance.”

When the Morning Comes is A Great Big World’s second album. The first one, Is Anybody Out There?, spawned the successful single, “Say Something,” a duet with Christina Aguilera.

King says the two albums

King adds.

The duo is especially excited about the inclusion of rapper Futuristic, who attended McClintock High School in Tempe, on “We Hold Each Other.”

“He’s so freaking talented,” Axel says. “We’re falling in love with everything he’s doing and everything he’s putting out in the world. We’re so lucky to be able to collaborate with him.”

The duo discovered Futuristic after the rapper did a cover of “Say Something” and posted it on YouTube.

“It was as easy as it could be to work with anybody,” explains Axel, who is marrying in April. “We get along with him perfectly. It felt like we were supposed to be doing this. There was no resistance from the universe.”

They are trying to get Futuristic to perform with them when A Great Big World

plays the Crescent Ballroom on Thursday, March 17. The show marks what Axel and King call their first “proper” Arizona gig. They last appeared at the Phoenix Pride Festival.

“It’s a whole new show than the last time,” Axel says.

“It feels like a new band in a lot of ways. The instrumentation is a lot different. The songs are produced to be a lot bigger than on the last album.

We’re trying to recreate the album live, so it has a bigger sound. It’s still going to be fun. It’s still an emotional rollercoaster, but it feels like a new band.”

were recorded very differently.

“The last record definitely felt like we were taking a bunch of songs that we had written over the course of five to eight years and saying, ‘Let’s take this one and that one.’ It was like a potluck,” he says.

“This one felt that it had a direction. It had a path. It needed to because we had three months to write and three months to record the record. We felt the pressure of time on the record, more than the last one. We felt the pressure of ‘Say Something’ and what that did to us and how to proceed in the world we wanted to live in.”

That “world” is a pop environment, one in which King and Axel try to stay honest and authentic.

“I think Ian and I are both really proud of this record and what came out of it,”

MOVIE REVIEW FLY LIKE AN EAGLE ‘EDDIE THE EAGLE’ SOARS AMONG THE GREAT FILMS CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

C ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 10, 2016

30

alling from a Manhattan hotel room, unlikely Olympic hero Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards is a spokesman for all things positive. A cheerleader for the underdogs, Edwards fought the odds—and the doubters— to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary as a ski jumper.

The Englishman’s story is told in the new film “Eddie the Eagle,” starring Taron Egerton in the title role, and Hugh Jackman as Bronson Peary, a hard-drinking, chain-smoking American and former ski jumper who takes Eddie, very reluctantly at first, under his wing.

“I saw the whole completed film on January 3 and I was blown away by it,”

Edwards says about the film that opened February 26.

“I thought it was absolutely fantastic and it brought tears to my eyes. But it is very, very surreal to sit there and watch a film that’s been made based on my life.”

Edwards adds that he was shocked when he saw Egerton dressed and acting as him.

“I thought, ‘My God. That is just how I looked 28 years ago when I was 24 and I was standing at the top of those Olympic ski jumps,’” he recalls.

Although he placed last in both his events—the 70-meter jump and 90-meter jump—he became a media darling (he was quickly dubbed “The Eagle” by the tabloids) and something of a folk hero,

famous for his unorthodox style, appearance and will to compete.

So Edwards knows a thing or two about perseverance.

The film, which took 17 years to make, accurately portrays the stumbling blocks Edwards faced in his climb up the figurative Olympic ski jump.

“I was this tiny David of a country against these Goliath nations of jumping,” he says.

“I came from a country with no snow, no training facilities, no trainer, no money, borrowed equipment and yet I still managed to get to those Olympic games and compete for my country. I hope it’ll open people’s eyes.”

Edwards says it was easy to keep his morale up, considering he’s always been “extremely self-motivated.”

“I don’t know where I get it from,” he says. “I must get it from my mum and dad, my grandparents, my great-grandparents. Despite people all the time telling me I can’t do this, I can’t do that, stop doing this, I use that to inspire me to prove them wrong.

“If there’s nothing I liked better, it was proving people wrong. If someone said, ‘You can’t do it,’ I’d think, ‘Yes, actually I can and I’ll show you I can.’ I used to do that a lot

and I still like doing that to this day. I like nothing more than proving people wrong.”

These days, when Edwards isn’t doing “Eddie the Eagle work”—motivational talks and TV and radio appearances—he works in construction, following in his dad’s footsteps.

“I build houses and extensions. I’m a roofer, a plasterer.

It keeps me grounded,” he says. “It keeps me fit. It keeps me active. It means I’ll always have a job. I don’t have to rely on doing media stuff and PR. I do enjoy it though. It takes me all over the country, all over the world. But when I go through months without doing any of it, I go back to my construction work where I’m happy as a Larry.”

His wishes for “Eddie the Eagle” are simple.

“I hope that people will enjoy it for 90 minutes, will be entertained by it and be inspired by it,” says Edwards, the divorced father of two daughters, Honey and Ottilie.

“Hopefully people will begin to understand just what it was like for me to get to those Olympic Games. Some of the media was, quite, uh, well, how do I say it, ‘unkind’?

“They had a preconceived idea of what Eddie the Eagle was all about. They thought I was a laugh or a joke. They were taking the Mickey out of all of that. When they see the film, I’m hoping they see just what it took for me to get to those Olympic games.

Me getting there was my gold medal.”

inish Ticket and Vinyl Theatre opened for Twenty One Pilots on their massive sold-out tour.

But now they’ve combined forces to co-headline Live Nation’s “Ones to Watch” Tour.

“We’re all super excited,” says Finish Ticket guitarist Alex DiDonato. “We’ve been working on a cool headline set. We’ve never done a headline tour before, so to have Vinyl Theatre on the bill with us is awesome.”

Keegan Calmes of Vinyl Theatre echoes that sentiment.

“It looks like the shows are going to be really good,” Calmes says. “The last time we were in Phoenix, it was an amazing show. It’ll be great to be back with Finish Ticket.

When we were approached about the tour, we got excited right away. We jumped at the chance.”

Finish Ticket and Vinyl

Theatre are both pushing new collections released via Atlantic Records imprints— Elektra and Fueled by Ramen, respectively.

Milwaukee-based alternative rockers Vinyl Theatre recently released Electrogram, tracks from which were featured on MTV’s “Finding Carter.” “Gold” is the latest single from the band who has toured with Against the Current, The Mowgli’s, Misterwives and Magic Man. Promoting its EP When Night Becomes Day, Finish Ticket is made of two sets of brothers—twins Brendan and Michael Hoye, and Gabe and Nick Stein, as well as their friend Alex DiDonato. In addition to opening for Twenty One Pilots, Finish Ticket has supported Ed Sheeran, The Black Keys, Phoenix and The Strokes and has toured with Misterwives, AWOLNATION and Walk The Moon.

“We have been lucky enough to open for some cool people,” DiDonato says.

“Twenty One Pilots, we were on tour with them for a whole month or so. They’re at the top of their game and have everything dialed in.”

He adds that the one-two punch of Finish Ticket and Vinyl Theatre will give fans a bang for their buck.

“From the beginning, we pride ourselves on having a captivating live show,” he says.

“A lot of the songs we’ve written naturally gravitate toward being big live songs. Both of us like to perform and play together.”

We hear you’re the concert queen of Tempe—congrats! The kind people at Marquee Theatre know your name and you’re friends with a few local bands.

Very impressive. How is that schoolwork coming along?

Yes, you can still be friends with people who go to UofA. No, you don’t have to make a joke about the rivalry every time you talk to them. Though, if you did, we know they would be very innovative— because ASU is the most innovative school in the country! Ohhhhh!

Look, people make mistakes during spring break. It’s just what happens sometimes. It’s okay. Your face will eventually return to its natural shade in a few months once the paint wears off.

Managing one’s expectations is an important life skill to learn as early as you can. Will Margot Robbie really eventually become your girlfriend?

Outlook unlikely.

There’s a two-edged sword here to having your best friend from home also come to Arizona for school and we just want to make sure you consider all of the possibilities before you encourage her. What if your friends like her more than you?

Congratulations on getting into that summer study abroad program!

You’re going to have a blast. Now just remember, that Italian guy in Rome probably won’t be your soulmate but his compliments are still nice to hear.

Dropping your phone and shattering the screen is an unfortunate, though fairly frequent, first world problem these days. However, shattering your screen six times in two months? You need help, my friend.

Being so close to Spring Training is one of the biggest perks to going to school in Arizona! Take advantage of it! Just for goodness sake, don’t forget the sunscreen!

Just because life might be sorta like a box of chocolates, doesn’t mean you can steal someone else’s box of chocolates! Leave your poor roommate and her leftover Valentine’s Day candy alone!

Sometimes difficult decisions need to be made and you just have to rely on your experience and intuition to guide you in the right direction. So what will it be?

Nacho Cheese or Cooler Ranch Doritos?

Congrats! Leonardo DiCaprio finally won! Now you can move on to your next Internet campaign. Will it be sweaters for turtles at the zoo or hearing aids for the blue whale population of the South Pacific Ocean?

Sometimes you need to give a new friend a chance, which can certainly be a big deal for you. Other times, you should trust your gut instinct about someone and run away as fast as possible.
