11 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT...

MARCH MADNESS CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

T

o some, March madness is the anger felt after spring break ends. To others, March Madness is the biggest sporting event of the year. The single-elimination tournament pits 68 Division I college basketball teams against each other. The sudden-death-

style of the tournament has inspired a community of sports fans to make their own brackets and try to predict the Final Four and the champion winner. This year, the tournament takes over Phoenix, when the Final Four games are played at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

BRACKETS ON BRACKETS The best verified fan bracket was 34 correct consecutive predictions on an ESPN online game in 2015.

10 BRU-WINS The current record holder for number of championship wins is the UCLA Bruins; however, their last win was in 1995.

9 EVERYBODY LOVES AN UNDERDOG Because the tournament is singleelimination, there’s a higher chance of an underdog team advancing to the finals because they need less wins than they would in professional basketball.

SUPERFLY LANDS IN PHOENIX

ORGANIZERS OF OUTSIDE LANDS AND BONNAROO PRESENT INAUGURAL LOST LAKE FESTIVAL MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 23, 2017

“I think that we all really felt that there’s something special happening right now in this city and in this region.”

So says Superfly co-founder Rick Farman, talking about Phoenix and the Southwest, and why he chose to throw a huge music festival here.

Superfly is a creative marketing and event planning company that focuses on producing festivals as vibrant and unique as the cities that hold them.

“We believe in the power of profound experiences and their ability to positively impact people’s lives,” reads their website.

The Superfly team is behind successful music and arts festivals like Tennessee’s Bonnaroo and San Francisco’s Outside Lands. On March 15, Farman announced they will be organizing a similar festival in downtown Phoenix from October 20 to October 22 called Lost Lake Festival.

According to a press release, Lost Lake was launched to “reflect the city’s rich and dynamic culture through a curated selection of arts and entertainment, elevated local culinary and beverage offerings, large-scale and nostalgic sport and game-style experiences and a highly anticipated music lineup.”

“We were inspired by the energy and creative shift that is happening in the Phoenix metro area to create a festival 8 experience that truly represents the

Valley’s culture, food, arts and music as well as the vibrant and outgoing lifestyle of the community,” Farman says.

The multi-stage, multi-format event will be held at Steele Indian School Park and will include live music from of-the-moment, up-and-coming and iconic acts spanning across several genres. According to Farman, there will be more than 40 artists playing over the course of three days.

“When it comes to delivering a world-class arts, culture and culinary festival experience, Superfly sets the bar,” says Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. “Phoenix has become a top destination for major events, but our residents and visitors haven’t seen anything like the Lost Lake Festival yet.”

Though music will be at the heart of the festival, Farman says they also want to underscore the culinary and gaming aspects to satisfy the large population of foodies and sports fans in the Valley.

“The experience here is going to be multi-format; there are a lot of different things beyond what you’d see at a music festival,” he elaborates.

“The culinary part is going to be huge because we have experienced firsthand that Phoenix has an amazing culinary scene.”

However, Farman insists it won’t just be the vendors, beer gardens and food trucks one typically sees at major music festivals. Superfly is all about keeping fans on their toes and introducing a new festival experience — and that doesn’t stop at the food and drinks.

They were also impressed with the breadth and diversity of the art scene in Arizona.

“We’ve already sourced a lot of really exciting artists that are participating with us and we’re going to be going through the whole region to find the best artists to bring in to this event,” Farman says.

Ultimately, he wants to bring people together and express community and

culture through a live experience.

“We’re here to bring something that will be representative and inclusive of the community,” he says. “We take great strides to make sure that the fan experience is first and we’re always thinking from the perspective of how to serve the artistic community and the general community at large.”

Superfly chose Steele Indian School Park because of its convenient location, vibrant mixed-use environment and 75 acres of restored, open green space, which the organizers believe is an ideal venue to tell Phoenix’s story through music, food, games and art.

“We’re really excited to do this here at Steele Indian Park. We go all over the country and the world looking at sites and locations to do events like this and this park here is one of the best,” Farman says.

But why now?

“Obviously it’s a large city and there’s been tremendous growth, particularly in the downtown, core part of the city,” Farman explains. “A lot of energy is coming back here, a lot of businesses are starting here and we can just feel that palpable energy, where stuff like this will hopefully help that further and take it to another level.”

For Mayor Stanton, that sense of community and creativity is already tangible.

“I can’t wait for us to partner together to make sure that Lost Lake

music business, and stalwarts of the festival scene in Phoenix.

The goal, according to Farman, is to get people to come and stay in downtown Phoenix and contribute to the evolution of its culture and

continuous development.

“This is something we’re going to be doing every year, so that impact is going to be continual,” he says. “Our expectation is that this will build over time.”

Festival is super successful in year one, and for decades to come,” he says.

“This is such an exciting time with our arts and music scene… this is going to help us get on the map nationally and internationally as a great live music location. It’s the right time for a music, culinary, arts and games festival of this magnitude and size; we’re ready. The market’s ready for it and the city itself is ready for it.”

Farman is working closely with Mayor Stanton and Vice Mayor Laura Pastor to create a superlative experience for the local community and beyond, including visitors that will come from out of town for the festival.

“We felt so welcome here by so many different people in the community,” Farman says. “These things are difficult to do. You need to work as a team, you need to be engaged with solving problems that arise, and we really believe that we’ve got the right environment here to make something extremely successful.”

Partnerships with Stateside Presents, Walter Productions, Starr Hill, Phoenix Lights and A Beautiful Perspective are also a big part of the operation.

“Typically when we try and do something like this, we find people who really understand the community on a deep level, and that’s really what we were able to put together here,” he says.

He sites local and national influencers such as Charlie Levy of Stateside Presents and Coran Capshaw of Starr Hill as major influencers in the

BEHIND THE SCENES OF

T2 TRAINSPOTTING MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

T ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 23, 2017

2 Trainspotting, the sequel to the 1996 cult classic Trainspotting — a film that follows a group of junkies in mid-‘90s Scotland — is a call to arms of

Trainspotting, which was based on a novel by Irvine Welsh, wasn’t meant to romanticize narcotic addiction and its reckless lifestyle, and the sequel proves that. Instead, it is an earnest depiction of drugs, social class and the human condition, of being young, broke and broken — a snapshot that few directors have pulled off successfully, especially with a sequel. And 20 years later?

Unheard of.

But somehow, T2 Trainspotting, which debuted in theaters on March 17, did it with a deftness that only director Danny Boyle and main actors Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner and Robert Carlyle could do.

With underlying motifs like masculinity, maturity and forgiveness, and scenes that lurch from heartbreaking to side-splitting, T2 Trainspotting

chronicles main character Mark Renton (McGregor) as he learns the hard way that you can’t run from your past forever.

Renton returns home after escaping 20 years prior and stealing £12,000 from his opiate-addled antihero friends. The plot plays on a feeling that most people can relate to: coming back to a familiar place and realizing how much has changed, juxtaposed with the bitter reality that some things never really do.

But why now? Why would Danny Boyle run the risk of ruining a classic by directing a sequel nearly two decades after the original?

“We tried ten years ago when there was an obvious prompt because Irvine Welsh published a book, Porno, which was a ten-years-later sequel to his original novel, and so we had a go at it, and it was not very good,” admits the Oscar-winning

nostalgia and self-reflection. It’s a story of dependence, friendship, fear, regret and ultimately redemption, peeling back the layers of an unscrupulous past to face the future. filmmaker. “Obviously there’s an onus on you when you return to something with the impact that the first film had; if you’re going to update it, you’ve got to have a reason. And it didn’t feel like there was a reason… Also the actors didn’t look any different. I’m sure they would have felt different, but they didn’t look any different ten years ago.”

Boyle says what ultimately emerged was a much more personal reason to finally make the film: the passage of time.

“The other film is obviously a great celebration of a certain period of your life through the most extreme prism you can imagine, these junkies in Edinburgh, and then obviously the update is when they’re 46 and they’re f**ked,” he explains.

In a time and culture that is strikingly different, how did he introduce the right amount of nuance and nostalgia?

The answer is simple: with allusions to scenes, characters and quotes from the original; familiar gritty, often dreamlike camera work and a supporting cast that has enough loyalty and talent to dexterously delve into the same characters two decades later.

T2 nods to its predecessor in brilliantly subtle ways, but it’s not so esoteric that someone introduced to it for the first time wouldn’t understand.

Though it’s obvious the cast is no longer in their 20s, the film is just as much about the growth and progression of society as it is of its characters. After all, Trainspotting is nothing if not an incisive social and ethical commentary.

“Age is cruel, and you don’t realize that until you get to this point in your life,” says Bremner, who plays Renton’s friend Spud. “In the first film, we were full of

lot of expectations to create an equally evocative score for the sequel.

“We were very lucky on the first film because obviously there was a huge variety of choices and it was a great time,” he says of UK music in the ‘90s.

However, he says it was important to find the “heartbeat” of the film, which he found in the Underworld album, Dubnobasswithmyheadman.

“I remember I said to John and Andrew, the screenwriter and the producer, that this would be the heartbeat of the film,” he recalls. “I remember them being a bit alarmed about that because they thought it was going to be just plastered with Underworld music, which was very heavy. And I said, ‘No, but it is the rhythm that will make the film’s tone.’

According to Boyle, every good film needs a similar “heartbeat.”

“You’re always looking for that on a film… you don’t always find it, but you find some way in the musical choice that represents the film,” he says.

“Coming to do the new one, you want to try and find that equivalent heartbeat, and we found this band, Young Fathers, who come from the same estates around Edinburgh that Irvine Welsh came from and where his stories are based from 25 years ago… and yet their stuff just fits in the film, so we used three or four of their tracks.”

He also says the music in T2 is not unlike the plot, in that it is a reflection of the first film. The sequel remixes and re-imagines songs from the original soundtrack.

“It’s the heartbeat of the new film that sustains you most, and that was this relationship with Young Fathers,” Boyle elaborates.

Boyle admits he doesn’t have all the answers. He says there’s no definitive takeaway from the film. Neither the original nor the sequel has a moral, though the film encourages the audience to examine the characters’ tumult and transition and reflect on their own experiences.

“The movie’s really a lot about masculinity,” says Miller, who plays Renton’s right-hand man, Sick Boy. “There’s that confidence and that fearlessness which permeates the first movie and it’s really summed up in the

voiceover, especially in the end speech there: This is what I’m going to do, this is who I am, this is who I’m going to be, and it’s directed at the audience.”

Sick Boy says it best in a particularly poignant scene where he and Renton are reflecting on the trials and tribulations of yesteryear: “You’re just a tourist in your own youth.”

“I think the second film really reflects that very well about your attitude; your confidence maybe disappears a little bit.

It’s not your confidence, it’s your brash attitude to life. You don’t feel invincible anymore, your mortality is more evident to you perhaps, either subconsciously or consciously. You’re either aware of that or you’re not,” he continues.

Though audiences may argue this film is more visceral, and depends less on visual stimulation and shock value and more on deep-seated reflection, Boyle says he prefers to leave it to viewer interpretation.

“I don’t think we make movies because we’re trying to make a message,” he says.

“You hope people recognize it as honest, really. Whatever the circumstances that you’re portraying, however extreme the story… you certainly find this working with good actors; they won’t let you do anything that feels dishonest.” CT

exuberance and potency, and we thought we were invincible. When Danny asked us to come back together and find out who these guys were after 20 years, we had an opportunity that is unparalleled, that never comes along for actors, to think of a character 20 years later and to run with it.”

McGregor says reuniting with the cast “felt like coming home.”

Much like the cast, plot and cinematography, the soundtrack of the original film was seminal. Because it was lauded for the way it embodied the era, and the subculture that existed within it, Boyle admits there were a

FEEL THE BURN

HOT YOGA UNIVERSITY HAS YOUR SPINE COVERED CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

Guess the meanings: hot yasa, iron yasa, bhakti vin.

They’re not ice cream flavors or secret methods of torture. They’re classes offered at Hot Yoga University.

Located on Scottsdale Road, the studio is the first multi-class styled studio in the state, providing both heated and nonheated classes.

The Craze Hot yoga — doing yoga in a room with intense heat and humidity — has become all the rage in the yoga community because of its benefits for the body.

The heat allows one to go into deeper poses, similar to waking up sore and taking a hot shower.

Proper practice is challenging,

regardless of fitness level, and is the kind of workout that can help one lose weight and tone muscles.

The studio is the brainchild of director Karin Fellman, who got into hot yoga after she began practicing and just happened to go to a hot yoga studio first.

“It is a great practice to find inner peace, release stress naturally and to get strong,” she says.

The Classes Hot Yoga University offers 11 different class styles, including yoga with weights, vinyasa and meditation. Each class is taught by experienced instructors who, Fellman says, are compassionate about the sport and willing to educate regardless of level and expertise.

If you’re already a yogi and feel comfortable in the sport, the studio also offers advanced-level specialties.

Some classes include elements of Pilates, Bikram and yoga styles from all over the world. One class, Yoga Nidra, focuses on sleep meditation — that’s right, 60 uninterrupted minutes of lying on a mat and relaxing.

But it’s not that simple — yoga nidra uses breathing, body and awareness techniques to disconnect one from their thinking mind and reconnect to their feeling body. Fellman teaches the class herself and completed master training in Florida under the gurus who developed it.

To top off the mind-body element of the studio, each class finishes with 10 minutes of silent meditation.

A common misconception about yoga is that it’s about flexibility, rather than stretching. The studio teaches people to try and stretch the right way.

Their signature series is a meditation in motion that focuses on staying aware of sensations felt in your body while moving through poses, Fellman says.

The Studio In addition to yoga, the studio also has a chakra library and a boutique featuring other yoga lines, books and accessories.

Amenity-wise, the studio strives to be top-notch. It is the first in Arizona to feature P.E.M. flooring. This special

kind of flooring has a textured finish to reduce slipping and is slightly porous, to allow for quick drying and fast evaporation.

The studio also boasts a high-tech humidifier system that is scientifically engineered to clarify air for better breathing.

Get Stretching For college students in particular, HYU has some great deals for those looking to try it out.

Every Thursday is free for students with valid ID. Students can also get an unlimited membership for $69 or take advantage of $10 drop-ins every day.

“Students should make time for yoga because it is a great way to help with the stresses of college life, freshman 15 and a great way to make new friends,” Fellman says.

While starting a new sport can seem scary, Fellman says all you have to do is show up and do your best.

“If you’re looking to make a change in your life, come see us,” she says. “You’ll be glad you did.”

QUADRAPHOENIX FOUR BANDS, ONE NIGHT, LOTS OF MEMORIES

F

MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

our corners of the Phoenix music scene will come together on March 24, when local bands Sunset Voodoo, The Hourglass Cats, The Real Fits and The Sink or Swim host a single release showcase at Crescent Ballroom.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 23, 2017

“I’ve been wanting to do a conjoined release show for a while, but just never really had a good idea on how to do it or who to do it with,” says Sunset Voodoo frontman Joey Gutos.

Gutos met the other musicians at local venues like Shady Park on University and Mill, where James also bartends. He says the idea bloomed through conversations about throwing a multi-faceted local event instead of just a typical concert.

“Everything with (James) happened at the perfect time too because I was just hanging out here one day, having a beer and he came over taking signatures because he had a petition to get the nonprofit going and it just made sense as a community-type show to have something like that where it was benefiting something that totally embodies that idea of having an artistic community,” Gutos says.

He believes Crescent is the ideal venue for an event like this because it’s in the heart of downtown Phoenix, surrounded by local arts and culture.

Not only is it one of the leading destinations for live music in the Valley, but it is also a place that brings people together.

Raquel Willand, who sings and plays guitar in The Real Fits, says it will not only be a sample of the diverse talent in Phoenix, but will showcase how well artists support each other in the local scene.

Gutos came up with the name QuadraPhoenix, a title that he feels epitomizes the mission of the event.

“There’s four different artists here, four different sounds all contributing to one thing and the word ‘quadraphonic’ means something that’s emitting from four different sources,” he explains.

“We all have our own sound and we don’t necessarily sound super similar, but the vibes are there and we all are just fun bands to watch and play stuff that you can dance to and get down

Besides all four bands debuting singles, the event will also feature live painting by Tepmpe-based artist Matthew James, who will be promoting his nonprofit startup, Unity Through Community, at the event.

with or just close your eyes and listen to when you’re at home, alone…we’re just a really nice mesh of different kinds of music.”

Lou Resnick, The Sink or Swim’s drummer, believes each band’s goal to support the local scene and have a good time will translate through their performance, even though each act has their own sound.

“I feel like we can all fall under some subcategory of alternative, so in that sense it’s really diversifying that aspect of music because we all bring a different style to the table,” he says.

CDs featuring each band’s single will be sold at the event, proceeds of which will benefit Unity Through Community.

“People can not only have a great time seeing all the bands at the show, but they walk away with something to remind them of that experience and simultaneously it’s a marketing thing; putting our names out there is going to help our music resonate with each other’s audiences a lot more,” Gutos says. “I think a lot of people who come to these shows are big on supporting the arts and big on supporting us too.”

According to James, Unity Through Community is a multi-platform, artscentric nonprofit that will serve as a hub for community and creativity in the Valley.

“We want to take music, painting, ceramics, welding, film, photo, everything and have a spot where everyone can come through in the community and get together and be able to do these things together,” he explains.

James is currently looking at a few locations in Tempe where UTC will be headquartered. Once he finds a location for the center, he wants to incorporate a recording studio, dark room, music venue and community garden.

“That’s how you get people together, the universal languages: music and art… something that speaks to

everybody,” he says.

He also wants to offer volunteer opportunities and partner with the city to paint public murals in Phoenix.

“It’s that instant gratification kind of deal… when you see a giant mural going up and you’re like, ‘Oh, I know those guys. They’re making the city pretty,’” he says. “It gives you that home-y kind of feeling. Everyone’s here. The talent is here, the willingness is here, everything’s going, it just has no lightening rod. We want to be that lightening rod.”

James says he wants UTC to be a learning space as well, where people will leave having gained a new skill or experience.

“Or you’re just going to go down there and hang out and listen to some good music,” he says with a laugh.

Gutos felt this sentiment aligned perfectly with his vision for QuadraPhoenix.

“As far as the arts outside of music, I think having Unity Through Community is going to be ‘that thing.’

Yeah, we’re musicians but we’re doing this in support of the culture and local arts in general, having live canvas paintings, for Voodoo I would like to have some sort of a digital projection… just to make this show more of an interactive arts experience versus just music and I think that’s something every show should try to do, not just be, ‘OK, we plug our stuff in and play,’” he says. “If we make a big deal out of something, you want people to come out, you got to give people an entire experience. Obviously, what we’re best at is music and that’s what the main focus is, but any spices and extra things you can throw into the mix to make it more interesting, the more motivated people will be to come out.”

James agrees that the night is all about the music, but adds that “it’s the little things that matter.”

In addition to the live painting and

summer jam type song, feel-good vibes. We have a lot of stuff planned but this song definitely fits the vibe of this show.”

Resnick believes that QuadraPhoenix will inspire more events that embody local music, art and community.

“If this is a packed show and it’s a total success and everyone loves all the songs, then I don’t see why we wouldn’t do it again,” he says. “It seems like a great way to organize a show, DIY style and implementing elements from all over the board and showing that by collaborating and bringing other people together, you can make a show better than you may have expected.”

Gutos says Sunset Voodoo’s motto is to “embrace your wild side.” He hopes that this mantra will translate through each band’s performance and the energy of the event as a whole.

“Every show we play, any song, whatever we do, we always try to make it as natural and authentic as possible and that idea of wild, it’s not necessarily a crazy wild animal by any means, it’s more of embracing what’s true to you and doing what you feel like doing,” he explains. “So if you’re at a show and you feel like dancing like a goon, just do it. Don’t worry about what anybody else is thinking or who’s watching, that’s what’s going to be cool about this show. I think everybody’s just going to be down to have a good time and leaving all judgment out of the equation, being wild and having fun.”

Rios says this event will be a catalyst to prove how powerful the Phoenix music scene really is.

“We want to prove that the local scene is tight and you don’t need to be a national act to pack Crescent Ballroom.”

Gutos sums up his vision for the night concisely: “Four bands, one night, a lot of memories.”

CDs, these little things will include face painting and a raffle, prizes of which include art pieces inspired by the music, merch packages and signed event posters.

“Potentially you have the chance to get one of these paintings that’s going to be on your wall, that’s going to always remind you what an awesome time you had,” he says of the art pieces. “There is something powerful about when you have music going on. What we’re trying to do is get the music together, paint on the side and make a personal connection.”

“As far as the music scene goes here in Phoenix and what’s so cool about the show is that it’s definitely a very strong community,” Gutos adds. “I think everybody does better when they can help each other out and with this show, everybody’s releasing a single… it’s everybody’s show.

Everybody’s equal parts.”

Though each band has different sounds and backgrounds, they have at least one thing in common: endless support for Phoenix.

“I like the scene because there’s a lot of different people who are very excited and enthusiastic and motivated and so many awesome bands that are popping up here and there. It’s really awesome to be part of it right now,” says Jared Wood, who plays guitar and drums in The Real Fits. “Four bands with styles that are very different all releasing singles. I think it’s going to be an awesome night and I’m really excited to be a part of it.”

Willand says the community aspect is featured in every part of the process, including working together to promote the event.

Cori Rios of The Hourglass Cats says his band is “a loose collective.” In the past, members have included everyone from German foreign exchange students to ASU Blue Devils from Japan.

“We kind of have a small family; it’s kind of the same thing I like about Arizona,” he says. “We have this group of people we can always count on and it’s nice having that backup and having that family. If anything falls through, your family’s got your back, and that’s just like Phoenix, for us and for our crew that we do it with, and this show is a prime example of that.

Unlike other cities where there’s a lot of competition and it’s oversaturated, Phoenix is still before the comeup… there’s still just a lot of opportunity.”

The process was organic since each band had been planning to release new music in the spring. The Sink or Swim’s single, entitled “Arizona,” is especially opportune, says Resnick.

“It’s kind of like our ode to how we’ve been accepted into this music scene even though we’re not from here,” he explains. “It’s a nice spring-

THE RIGHT TRACK A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLIST OF PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

Suzanne Leonard Cohen

Kathy’s Song Simon and Garfunkel

It Ain’t Me Babe Bob Dylan

We Both Go Down Together The Decemberists

Rosemarie Dombrowski is Phoenix’s first poet laureate. She is a poetry professor at ASU and a linchpin in Phoenix’s literary community. She is also a sucker for sappy ‘80s love ballads.

Get acquainted with Dombrowski through the music that motivates and inspires her.

TOP 5 FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME

Somebody Depeche Mode

1. “Suzanne,” Leonard Cohen

In Your Eyes Peter Gabriel

The Right Track GRAPHIC • CHRISTY BYERLY

“This is about to become a predictable, lovelorn list, but Cohen was everything to me in college, from the discography to the poetry to the experimental novel. As for the song, the melody is haunting, and the narrative grounds you in the spiritual wellspring of Suzanne

before it analogizes the unworthy man to a broken Jesus-sailor. The homage he pays to her translates into the highest form of art, and when it ends, you feel as though you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind.”

2. “Kathy’s Song,” Simon and Garfunkel “I became an S & G aficionado in grad school, and the narrative of this song is torturously beautiful, so I guess the poet in me is compelled to return to it over and over again. I saw them in concert about a decade or so ago, and it was even more magical live.”

3. “It Ain’t Me Babe,” Bob Dylan

“Again, nearly everything by Bob Dylan should be on this list, and the influence he had on me in college was profound, but since I’m sticking with love/lovelorn songs, I’m going with the ultimate song of self-outing and brutal realism – i.e. it ain’t [him she’s] looking for. I love the honesty of the sentiment. And I love that harmonica.”

4. “We Both Go Down Together,” The Decemberists “I must’ve heard this song about a decade ago, and it’s one that I immediately memorized and find myself returning to when I’m in need of a truly metaphysical (and well-crafted) narrative set to indiefolk music. They’re some of the most masterful storytellers of the genre and the age, so loving their

discography helped make this an easy choice.”

5. “Somebody,” Depeche Mode “A guy played this one for me in high school, and the freakishly vulnerable nature of it makes it too good not to include. Also, it’s Depeche Mode, so yes.”

Runner-Up: “In Your Eyes,” Peter Gabriel “I love John Cusack, and I especially love his character in Say Anything, and that scene with the boom box blasting ‘In Your Eyes’ was everything to me when I was a teenager… and it kind of still is.”

Preferred way of listening and why: “I still listen to CDs in my beloved ’99 Mercedes, but outside of the car, I’m all about Pandora, Spotify, and YouTube, given their superior sound quality and convenience.”

Go-to guilty pleasure track/classic karaoke tune: “Back in the day, it was ‘Crazy for You’ by Madonna, and ironically, it’s just lovelorn enough to fit perfectly into this list. I think I used to sing it weekly at The Vine in Mesa.

Thankfully, that was too long ago for anyone to remember!” CT

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN

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

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18) You’re a little flirty and there’s nothing wrong with feeling your oats and having some fun.

But don’t let your homework completely fall by the wayside, Aquarius. It’s too late in the semester to go full “Tinderella.”

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20) Today’s the day to let out those emotions you’ve bottled away all year. You miss Cabo?

Post about it on Insta. Traffic got you in the blues?

Bellow it out on Twitter. About to burst with existential dread about graduation and your purpose in life? Hit up Facebook!

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 21) It’s easy to fall into a routine. Don’t forget to change it up every now and then — get bacon on your burger, ask for whipped cream on your coffee, drop out of your bio class and enter a Tetris tournament. #yolo TAURUS (APRIL 22-MAY 20) Lately you’ve been worried about what your friends might think about the skeletons in your closet. No stress, Taurus, everyone has secrets and your friends will understand – unless they’re actual skeletons, in which case, Halloween was four months ago and it’s time to put those away.

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22) You’re in a mid-semester funk. It’s not your fault you’re feeling down but you’ve got to beat that funk any way you can. Try exercise, eating healthy and listening to funk music. There are few problems “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry can’t solve.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23- SEPTEMBER 22) After a successful spring break, some good midterms and a very successful Instagram post about it all, you’re feeling pretty high and mighty. Make some time for the little people this month. Hit your old neighbor’s selfie with a pity like. Double tap on your sister’s sorority photo. It feels good to give back every now and then.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22) You’re in the dark right now and feel a little lost Take a deep breath and take in your surroundings.

It’s your bedroom. The light bulb burned out.

Not so bad anymore, right?

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21) Your life is buzzing and so is your phone.

Answer: It might just be opportunity calling for a brand new adventure this summer. Or your mom asking why you never call her back.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21) You’re in a period of harmony, floating on a cloud looking down at it all — family, friends, school work. What’s that?

Your alarm going off and you’re late? Man, nap time does come at you fast.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21) Playing coy has gotten you so far but be careful when it comes to keeping secrets from your friends. You saw what happened on Pretty Little Liars.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) You’re sitting on the edge, waiting for someone to give you that push into the great beyond. We are here to give you that confirmation and confidence. Do it. Spend $15 on that late night Postmates delivery. Press “Order now.”

Wasn’t that so easy?

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19) Everything in your life is going forward in a straight line: your grades, your relationships, but not your tan.

The sun was not kind to you this spring break.

Better soak up some rays, stat!
