TROJANSIDELINES
USC MOTO
Taking a Ride
By eLiSa heRnanDez
USC Moto iS the offiCial MotorCyCle ClUb
of the Trojans, and if you haven’t heard about it, well, I’m
here to help. The 2-month-old group is looking to pick up
speed and get members on board. President and founder Joel
Garrison is determined to make this club one of the best on
campus.
“Anybody who rides or who at least is interested in riding
is welcome to be a part of the club,” says Garrison, “Some of
the people have bikes, and some are thinking about getting
bikes. We know a lot about them, so we tell them where to go
and what bikes to get. We give them tips so they can ride better
and pointers on how to keep maintenance on their bikes.”
Garrison rides a 2005 Yamaha R6, but riding solo was
something he’s been trying to change. With that in mind, he
set to work on creating his dream club at USC.
“It’s more fun to ride in a group than to ride by yourself,
because it makes it a social event, and I thought who better to
ride with than my fellow Trojans.”
The group already had its first event on Sept. 25, in Malibu,
Calif., and although the weather was bad in the morning, by
early afternoon it was the perfect weather. “Rock Shop Ride”
was the name of their event, and it attracted about a dozen
bikers from USC and Pepperdine University.
“We stopped by the Rockstar, which is a famous place
where bikers come to eat and hang-out,” he says. “There were

INTERVARSITY

CHRISTIAN
FELLOWSHIP
By Tien Thuy ho
Whether We are or are not religioUS, it
is arguable that religion is a powerful force in our lives. We
can look to religion to explain phenomena that capture
our interest, such as love, hope, greed and evil. There are so
many religions among us. At UCLA, one organization called
InterVarsity Bruin Christian Fellowship calls out to everyone
to learn about Christianity.
InterVarsity (IV) has its roots in a movement led by
British university students in the 1870s. In the United
States, the first IV chapter began in 1938 at the University
of Michigan. Since then, thousands of students have become
part of the organization to sustain IV’s mission to enable
anyone to represent God’s kingdom.
At UCLA, IV has transitioned from simply an
organization into a movement in which “every student is
a witness (to the presence of God’s grace).” IV begins its
“recruitment of new members” through its presence in the
dorms. Though any student living in the dorms might be

all types of bikes there: choppers, sport bikes,
dual sports, Harleys and custom bikes. So we
stopped, ate lunch and chatted up with other
bikers.”
Although it may be slightly intimidating
to ride, Garrison stresses that the most
important thing about riding motorcycles
is not being afraid. He says he was slightly
afraid, but once he gave it a chance he loved
it. Taking a safety class is also important, and
every ride rider must have the necessities:
helmet, gloves, jacket with padding and
boots.
USC Moto meets once a month and
hosts monthly rides. Members keep in touch
through the group’s Facebook page, which
Garrison encourages all interested to visit.
The group is open to all USC students, and
anyone can join anytime so it’s never too late
to go take a ride.
USC Moto is already planning its next
ride soon, keeping the pedal to the metal.
“The next ride is going to be sometime in October. We’re
planning to go to Angeles Crest, it’s a fun place to ride and it’s
beautiful,” says Garrison. “It’s a lot closer to USC, so I think we
will have an even better turnout of riders, it has windy roads
which are more fun to ride down.”
USC Moto welcomes everyone of all ages, students and
faculty to ride together and share the passion they all have for
motorcycles.
Although a young club, Garrison and his members have
big plans for the years to come.
“We want to get more riders, have more rides planned out
part of IV, there is a specific floor at each
building that’s abundant with IV members.
IV leaders on these floors will go around and
introduce IV and how one might become a
part of IV.
IV captures the interest and curiosity
of so many people because its members are
so inviting, friendly and kind. One reason
someone might join IV is to find connections
with others who share a common bond in
God. Even someone who is a self-claimed
atheist could become so curious in the
workings of IV and God that he or she just
might go to the meetings to see for himself
or herself.
IV holds a very large group meeting called Catalyst
every Thursday night. At Catalyst, there is prayer, thoughtful
talks and bonding time with others. Each group also has
something called Small Group, which meets on different
days depending on the schedules of those in the group to
discuss and study the Bible. The importance of the Bible as
a way to connect to God and as an ancient and significant
piece of literature cannot be understated. Illusions of the
Bible show up everywhere, so it is good to have an idea of
this great document so maybe when we read something that
alludes to the Bible, we actually recognize and find a better
understanding of what the text means. In addition to Catalyst
and Small Group, there are Community Rooms throughout
UCLA that are assigned to be open to everyone during most
days and hours of the day.
One of the most life-altering events that IV holds is
called Urbana, Student Mission Conference in which each
student is “dared to meet God.” On the weekend of the

all over California and participate in some charity rides and
raise money for good causes,” he says. “Ultimately, we also
want to start spawning other chapters at other schools and
eventually get sponsored.
“We have a lot to get done so we’re moving fast trying to
get this group up and running correctly,” Garrison continues.”
We want everyone to spread the word, and if you can’t find
us on Facebook, e-mail us at scmotorcycleclub@gmail.com to
get on the mailing list and find out more information.”

conference, once new IV members meet God, they will find a
new sense of belief and commit themselves to living the way
God would have intended. Many students say that this event
changes their lives forever.
Whether they do indeed meet God or they do not see
Him at all, a desire for some sense of certainty is fulfilled. One
of the verses that they study: “For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life,” will motivate them
to look to the future and believe that nothing can bring them
down when their minds are filled with faith.
As one IV member, Kris Rattivat, claims, “Over time,
God has truly proven that through Him, all things are
possible. If it were not for my involvement with IV, I would
not have reached where I am right now, at UCLA and in my
personal life.”

BOOKS TO
FALL FOR
By anGeLa MaTano
Action
Meg Gardiner’s books keep you up at night. The author’s latest
Jo Beckett title, The Nightmare Thief, begins with a rush of
adrenaline and ends with a bang.
Armchair Education
Described as part memoir, part travelogue and part in-depth
study of global hip-hop culture, Close to the Edge: In Search
of the Global Hip Hop Generation by former MC and assistant
professor Sujatha Fernandes profiles urban youth throughout
the world and documents how the music has given a powerful
and often political voice to their common and divergent
struggles.
Based on actual WWII events, Steve Sem-Sandberg’s The
Emperor of Lies recounts the chilling tale of Mordechai Chaim
Rumkowski, a Polish Jew chosen to run the second-largest
Jewish ghetto. This complex and indelible character portrait of
a man straddling the line between good and evil delves into the
nature of evil itself with insight and intelligence.
Americans are still reeling from decisions made in the Bush
administration, and Dick Cheney does not back down one
bit in his memoir In My Time. Full of insight and next-day
quarterbacking, the ex-Vice President polarizes with the best
of ’em.
Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard, written
both for entertainment as well as useful information by two
brothers, Chip and Dan Heath, documents stories of change
and explains why change is so surprisingly difficult. Starting

with the brain’s wiring and moving into other fields, like
sociology and psychology, this book ingeniously illuminates a
baffling flaw in human nature.
Laura Hillenbrand’s fantastic Seabiscuit, turns out not to be a
fluke but perhaps the first of many riveting and true stories
caught in this writer’s crosshairs. Her latest tome, Unbroken:
A World War II Story of Survival, Resilence and Redemption,
about a war pilot struggling to get home after crashing into the
Pacific Ocean reads like a well plotted thriller, only in this case,
the story turns out to be unforgettably real.
Brimming with fascinating anecdotes and tricks of the trade,
Writing Movies for Fun and Profit: How We Made a Billion
Dollars at the Box Office and You Can, Too! promises to provide
a window into the ever-elusive film business. By Robert Ben
Garant and Thomas Lennon, the writers of Night at the
Museum, The Pacifier and Balls of Fury, this book will amuse
and inform.
Gifts
My favorite cookbook writer of all time, Diana Henry’s Pure
Simple Cooking: Effortless Meals Every Day straddles the line
between aspirational yet easy meals. Recipes, like Baked Lime
and Passion Fruit Pudding Cake and Sicilian Sweet-and-
Sour Tuna, keep shopping simple by using under a dozen
ingredients but still impress with their startling and bright
flavor combinations – scrumptious.
The World History of Animation, chock full of gorgeous
illustrations, will thrill anyone with the slightest interest in
the subject. Stephen Cavalier’s comprehensive guide covers a
hundred years of the genre, including contributions circling
the globe from Europe to North America to Asia.
Girl Time
Enthralled upon finishing J. Courtney Sullivan’s Maine, I
decided to pick up her first novel, Commencement, and found
myself smitten yet again. This moving story of unlikely friends
who meet in college and stick together through thick and thin
will resonate with just about everyone.
Campus Circle > Culture > Books
Love and romance, staples for a reason, get the deluxe
treatment in Marisa de los Santos’ Love Walked In. Smart and
moving, this novel of star-crossed strangers pulled together by
happenstance does not disappoint.
Jacquelyn Mitchard’s The Deep End of the Ocean had me on
the first page and her book, Second Nature: A Love Story, is no
different. Fraught with drama, tension, reversals and personal
courage, the author writes another tale that haunted me well
after I finished reading it.
Literature
Romantic and dark in a completely contemporary way, Close
Your Eyes also snaps with grit. Amanda Eyre Ward writes with
a keen eye for truth amidst plenty of gripping family drama. I
loved this book.
No one explores the dark side of suburbia quite like Tom
Perrotta. In his latest opus, The Leftovers, a flight into a
dystopian future, the author continues his quest illuminating
the foibles of American life.
Mind-bending and ambitious are two adjectives that come
to mind when trying to describe Alex Shakar’s Luminarium.
After his brother/business partner lapses into a coma and the
military takes over his virtual reality software company, Fred
Brounian becomes a subject in a neurological experiment that
promises a spiritual reawakening. Reality and virtual reality
begin to blur in this smart and refreshingly of the moment
novel.
With two spectacular novels under his belt (The Virgin Suicides
and Middlesex), Jeffrey Eugenides dazzles readers again in The
Marriage Plot (available Oct. 11). A bit of a departure, but
every bit as evocative as his previous works, the author delves
into the lives of three friends as they make their way through
college and beyond.
Too cool for school, Adam Ross’ Mr. Peanut, begins with
an improbable premise and turns you into a believer. This
mélange of marriage, murder and meta propels fiction toward
the next century.
Two terrific titles from John Burnham Schwartz, Reservation
Road and the brand new Northwest Corner work well together
or separately. The intertwined tales of a family’s struggle
with redemption, tragedy and violence over two generations
reverberates with both grace and heartbreak. The author’s
writing will leave you fantasizing about a potential trilogy.
Partially based on an incident from Bella Pollen’s childhood,
The Summer of the Bear enchants, intrigues and envelops with
ease. The story begins with a family fleeing from a mysterious
tragedy onto a remote Scottish Island only to find that a
domesticated grizzly bear shares their location and unfolds in
an unexpected and gratifying manner.
One of our best contemporary writers, Denis Johnson delivers
the goods again with Train Dreams. This novella, published
in a slightly different form in The Paris Review, draws a deft
portrait of both a man and a country at the turn of the 21st
century.
We Others offers seven new stories along with the greatest
hits from previous collections by a master of the short story,
Steven Millhauser. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author paints
with words, creating a world where the surreal and mysterious
creep into reality.
Virtual Vacation
Italy + canines = two of my favorite things. Justine van der Leun
marries these two disparate subjects together to perfection in
her charming memoir, Marcus of Umbria: What an Italian Dog
Taught an American Girl about Love.

it SeeMS the dayS When CoMiCbookbased
games were the ones to run away from are gone.
As graphic novels have built a more adult audience,
so have the games based on their stories developed.
“Batman: Arkham City,” the sequel to “Batman: Arkham
Asylum,” and “Spider-Man: Edge of Time” are prime
examples of this new generation of graphic novel/game
crossover.
Both Batman and Spider-man have been featured
in a number of media; including several video games.
Some of these were big hits, while others were lacking.
Though seemingly unlikely to go past their original
print field, both characters have gained a following in
the gaming world.
“Batman: Arkham City” is set to come out Oct. 18. It
continues the dark and intense feel of “Batman: Arkham
Asylum” and builds it into a new story that takes place
a year after the events of the previous game. With the
former warden of the asylum becoming mayor, inmates
and criminals have moved from the prison to the slums
of Gotham City with resulting mayhem.
The game carries on largely from were the first left
off. Most of the tools in the first game will be available
with improvements as well as additional gadgets,
including the very useful freeze grenades taken from Mr.
Freeze. As well as Batman, gamers gain the new playable
character of Catwoman who features a more acrobaticbased
set of combat skills. Meanwhile Batman’s combat
and movement have also been upgraded allowing him
to counter several enemies in the midst of combat and
glide to more areas. Featuring more characters from the
comics’ history – such as the assassin, Deadshot – the
game enlarges the scope of Batman’s journey providing
a bonus for fans who want something new.
“Spider-man: Edge of Time” features another
bonus for comic fans. Hitting stores this week, the title
brings a spark to a series that has always gone through
a lot of changes. Similar to “Spider-man: Shattered
Dimensions,” players control the original and 2099
version of the famous webslinger, each with different
abilities. As this game is developed by Beenox, the same
group who did “Shattered Dimensions,” the crossover
between the two storylines promises to work well. In
Free Film Screenings – Contests – exclusive Savings
“Edge of Time,” the two Spider-mans work together
through their different timelines to save their lives and
repair the altering of the world’s timeline caused by an
CAMPUSCIRCLE.COM
ambitious scientist from the future. A unique causeand-effect
system has the actions of each Spider-man
imminently affecting the other. The game leaves the
question of the wrong actions: Is it possible we’ll see the
death of the amazing Spider-man? Join in On the Fun!

By kRiSTina BRaVo
every onCe in a While, a filM So ShoCking
comes out that it causes a collective jaw drop, some in
extreme amazement and in many cases in revolt – or maybe
even both. For this generation, The Human Centipede
definitely takes the cake.
Now it’s back for seconds.
Dutch filmmaker Tom Six, responsible for the concept
and its execution, remarks, “When I was writing the first
part, I had so many ideas that I couldn’t put in the first
sequence … That one played out on the psychological level,
you didn’t see much. A lot of what was happening was in the
viewer’s mind. For Part Two, I wanted to show everything
you couldn’t see in Part One.”
6 Campus Circle 10.5.11 - 10.11.11
And boy, he did.
“It’s a surreal thing. I can only watch the films so many
times before I put a cap on it. The first one, I think I saw
altogether four times. And this one I’ve seen twice now, and
I think I’m good. It’s really, you know, gross. I can’t handle
it,” says Ashlynn Yennie, the bubbly and sweet-spoken actress
who starred in The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and is
now playing herself, the starlet, in the sequel.
The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) opens with
Martin (Laurence R. Harvey), a mentally disturbed security
guard who obsessively watches a DVD of the first Human
Centipede film at the parking lot office where he works. The
audience later learns that Martin plans to follow his fictitious
idol’s steps, Dr. Heiter, to make a human centipede of his
own.
However, he lacks the surgical skill, medical instruments
or even the information that you have to wash your hands
before cutting open your victims so they don’t die of
infection before you successfully stitch them together. What
he lacks in common sense, he makes up for in scrappy PR
skills, being able to get one of the lead actresses from The
Human Centipede, to star in his very own creation.
“I was living in New York at the time,” recalls Yennie,
of when she auditioned for The Human Centipede (First
Sequence). “I just got out of film school. I didn’t know what
I was doing. I was doing commercials and all that stuff. Then
my manager asked me if I wanted to shoot for a controversial
European film. And when you’re 22 you’re like, ‘Yeah, a
controversial European film, that sounds awesome!”
“So I went to the audition not knowing that it was a
horror film, not knowing what it was about really,” Yennie
continues. “[When I found out] I was like, ‘This can’t be
real.’ I can’t actually describe what was going through in my
mind at that time, but it seemed like an awesome idea and
Campus Circle > Film > Interviews
I remember having to explain it to my mom over and over
again. She never got it until she finally saw a poster and a
picture from the first one!”
From being the last segment of the centipede in the
first film, Yennie’s now at the helm of not four, not six, but
a stapled row of 10 very unfortunate people. Martin was
aiming for 12, but you know, with a pretend doctor in a
movie as your only source, crap happens, figuratively and
literally.
“It’s so much better. I got upgraded so much! You’re in
the front, and somebody’s back there. You’re carrying the
weight of everybody, but it was fun ... I say [as my character]
in the film that I demand it in my contract to get massages.
In the first movie Tom and Ilona [Six, producer] were very
sweet saying, ‘We have massages for all of you guys.’ During
the second one it was like, ‘No massages. You guys have to
stick through it.’ So we were like ‘OK fine,’” the actress laughs.
The film isn’t for everyone. The concept alone is hard to
grasp for many, but in today’s shock-craving culture, it will
sure find its way to a receptive audience.
Yennie says, “The reaction is very mixed. I think people
are taking it too seriously a little bit. What he [Tom Six] was
trying to do was again up himself one more notch than he
did the first time.
“When we were filming, I told Tom, ‘I don’t think
people are going to be ready for this. This is scary, really just
disturbing.’ And when they showed me the final product I
was like, wow.”
Having seen the film, this writer can say the same thing.
Wow. Just wow.

THE idEs Of
MARcH
evan Rachel Wood is ready to
“kick butt.”
By FReDeRiCk MinTCheLL
hollyWood iS littered With the ghoStS of
child stars past. For every Jodie Foster and Jason Bateman,
there are dozens, if not hundreds, of formerly precocious
child actors who weren’t able to make the transition to adult
stardom after they reached voting age. Evan Rachel Wood
appears to be one of the lucky ones who have been able to
successfully make that leap.
Wood has a theory for her successful transition: “I never
did young, cutesy roles. I was always kind of doing adult
material, so it was easier for me to have an ‘in’ to that world.
I was always playing older than I was, so I think that helped.”
She started acting at the age of 5, and her breakthrough
role was arguably on the critically lauded series “Once and
Again.” She went on to receive more critical acclaim on the big
screen in movies like Thirteen, The Upside of Anger, Running
with Scissors, Across the Universe and The Wrestler. After
enjoying acting success at an early age, though, Wood knew
she had had to evaluate her goals when she got older.
“I took time off to really get to know myself – to figure
out if this is what I really wanted to do and not just something

Jackson hurst takes the lead.
By aRieL PaReDeS
after WatChing ‘inSide the aCtorS StUdio,’
you hear a lot about the survival jobs that actors have had
to take before becoming successful. We’ve heard it all, from
being a pizza delivery boy to the stereotypical server in a
restaurant. Everyone’s road to becoming a working actor is
unique, and Jackson Hurst’s story is as interesting as they
come.
You wouldn’t guess that one of the stars of “Drop Dead
Diva” and lead in the upcoming film A Bird of the Air was
once a financial guy turned nightclub manager.
“I got a business degree and I’d been working for
CitiFinancial doing independent sales leading this double
life for awhile – doing crazy independent films late night and
on the weekends and then running staff meetings at work,”
shares Hurst.
Ultimately, he made a drastic and life-changing decision.
“I quit my job, sold everything and packed up whatever I
could in my car and moved from Dallas to Austin, Texas,” he
says. “I was running a night club in Austin and it was a pretty
crazy experience, but I managed to clean myself up and stay
focused and that’s when I got Living Proof.”
He adds, “The funny thing is, I’m scraping by in Austin
8 Campus Circle 10.5.11 - 10.11.11
I was good at. This is a weird business, and it could be here
today and gone tomorrow. What would I do? I’ve been doing
this my whole life. The only other thing that I was really
passionate about was psychology. That’s kind of what I do – I
analyze, and I pick people apart. I have to get inside people’s
heads. Through that, I’ve become interested in [psychology].
I’d still actually love to go back to school to study it.”
She might have to put those college aspirations on hold
for a while since the past year has been another banner one
for the actress with roles in the Emmy-winning HBO miniseries
“Mildred Pierce” opposite Kate Winslet and in another
HBO production, the cult fave “True Blood.” She will soon be
seen on the big screen again in the George Clooney directed
The Ides of March, co-starring fellow child actor refugee Ryan
Gosling (“The Mickey Mouse Club”). But don’t assume that
fame is going to Wood’s head just yet.
“I’m here, so I better be well-behaved so I stay here. It’s
been such a great year, and I feel like I’m ready to embrace this
as my life choice and stay focused on it and stay committed to
the idea [of being an actor]. Now I’m just having fun, and I’m
really lucky because I worked really hard to be here.”
In Ides she plays an intern working on a presidential
campaign. Surrounded by a cast of heavyweights that include
Oscar nominees/winners Clooney, Gosling, Philip Seymour
Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Paul Giamatti, hers is a pivotal
role in that her actions set off a chain of events that affects
everyone else in the film. As the United States is about to
become inundated with the 2012 presidential election, don’t
be turned off by the movie’s subject matter.
“There’s no hero and no villain,” says Wood. “It makes
you question. It’s not about politics. It’s about people and
games and moral dilemmas. Will you compromise yourself
for the greater good?”
leading this ridiculous lifestyle, then I booked ‘Drop Dead
Diva’ and they put me up in this fancy five -star hotel for six
weeks, and I’m thinking ‘I’m really an important guy,’ while
shooting the pilot. But after shooting, I had to give it up and
go back to the grind and run the nightclub again!”
Hurst was wise though and didn’t succumb to the
Hollywood pitfalls.
‘“I didn’t want to be another statistic in L.A., so I
gambled and stayed in Austin which ultimately paid off. I
made my start in Austin with some great opportunities,” he
says. “After I shot my first season of ‘Diva,’ I finally made the
trek out to L.A.”
After playing one character for a few seasons, it’s nice to
switch things up. Hurst plays Lyman in the new film A Bird
of the Air. He is a tragically introverted man who works for
the Highways Department as a courtesy patroller. He holds
a very sad secret that is risked being exposed when he meets
a very chatty and quirky librarian named Fiona (Rachel
Nichols) and a mysterious parrot that flies into his home one
night. A literal and metaphorical journey begins to unfold.
What drew Hurst to the role and how did he manage to
get into the mind of this very quiet character?
“I actually isolated myself quite a bit in order to play
Lyman. He’d been through so much,” replies Hurst. “At first
on paper he could seem quite boring, but I thought he was so
interesting and had a lot to offer. I saw him as a guy that had
no social graces but was really successful in his own way. He
just always wanted to be prepared for everything.”
The rest of the cast also contributed to the film being a
wonderful experience for Hurst.
“Rachel Nichols is great, the chemistry was there
immediately. She has a strong personality and I also do, so
we butted heads but in a creative way. She was so good at
Campus Circle > Film > Interviews
evan Rachel Wood and Ryan Gosling in The Ides of March
After doing dramas and some comedies [possibly
including the upcoming It Is What It Is with Sigourney
Weaver], would Wood want to jump on the superhero
bandwagon? “I never get offered superhero movies. People
have [a preconceived] idea about me. I have a black belt in tae
kwon do. I can kick butt. I wasn’t good at ballet,” she admits,
“I was always a fighter I guess.”
After a suggestion that maybe Weaver could pull some
strings and have Wood cast as the new Ripley [from the Alien
movies], she replies, “I would love to be a Ripley or a Sarah
Connor [from Terminator 2]. That I would love to do, but
[those roles] are few and far between.”
Would you want to bet against anyone who can navigate
the shark-infested waters of Hollywood? I sure wouldn’t. And
with her black belt, I certainly wouldn’t want to be the casting
director to say no to her for a role as a “kick-butt” action
heroine.

playing Fiona,” Hurst muses. “We worked with three parrots
throughout the film, one was like a puppy, one was middle
aged and a really old, ornery one like a bitter aged man ... All
of them would bite you, it was a matter of when they were
gonna snap at you. I had as much fun with these birds as I did
with the other actors.”
This film was also Margaret Whitton’s directorial debut,
and Hurst couldn’t have been happier.
“Working with Margaret Whitton was great. She gave me
the freedom to create the character which is what I needed to
work with Lyman.”

LEAVING WISTERIA
LANE
after eight sudsy seasons, those “Desperate
housewives” bid adieu.
By hiko MiTSuzuka
a SeeMingly happy Wife and Mother naMed Mary aliCe pUtS a
gun to her head and pulls the trigger ... and an idyllic neighborhood is never the same.
Not since “Knots Landing” have television viewers been so enraptured by the weekly
dramas of a bunch of cul-de-sac-dwelling suburbanites. For the past seven years, Wisteria
Lane on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” became a ground zero for soapy fun. It quickly
became a place where secrets – along with several criminals – are harbored, where wealthy
former models sleep with their gardeners, where neglected wives go off their rockers and
shoot up supermarkets, where accident-prone single moms get kidnapped by vengeful
ex-cons, where on-the-lam families hide out from eco-terrorists, where shady politicians
get skewered by picket fences during tornados, where airplanes crash into holiday parties,
where serial killers hold pregnant women hostage, where bitchy real estate agents get
electrocuted by telephone poles, where ...
You get the idea.
Debuting on Oct. 3, 2004, “Desperate Housewives,” in a way, filled a void left by four
sexy women who used to chat and gossip over lunch and see each other through some
juicy trials and tribulations. If “Sex and the City” celebrated the comedic dramas of female,
urban singles, then “DH” went further and celebrated the comedic dramas of female,
suburban marrieds (and divorcées). Instead of sitting around a table and supporting each
other while sipping cosmos at a trendy Manhattan hotspot, Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo,
Gabrielle Solis and Bree Van De Kamp sat around a kitchen counter supporting each
other over cups of coffee.
However, while brushing up on the history of femme-centric television, one might
discover that gathering around a table to dish about love, lies and life in general was
originally an art perfected by four Miami seniors named Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and
Sophia. “The Golden Girls” essentially invented the TV girl-talk forum the moment they
broke out the cheesecake and sat down to vent their problems. So it may come as no
surprise that Marc Cherry, “Desperate”’s creator, had been a writer on the classic sitcom
during its last two seasons. The “Golden” influence on “Housewives” is evident.
“DH” also filled another void in prime-time television. It brought back the nighttime
soap to small screens and tweaked the genre in a way that made it more easily digestible
for the savvy audiences of the 2000s. It introduced three-dimensional characters we
grew to love, placed them in sudsy situations in a believable way and recognized the
absurdity of some of them through delicious one-liners and tongue-in-cheek dialogue
that remained consistent throughout the years.
While many complain that the show never regained its mojo after that stellar first
season – especially after sitting through the much-maligned second season (Alfre
Woodard’s got her son locked up in the basement!) – I pity those who were quick to give
up and tune out. Having learned their lesson, producers delivered a third and fourth
season that reminded loyal followers why they kept coming back to the Lane (new gay
neighbors, back-from-the-dead spouses and Dana Delany, oh my!).
Then came the high-profiled stunt for the show’s fifth season, that five-year jump
into the future. Partners swapped, children grew up and a new villain moved in (Neal
McDonough’s bent-on-revenge Dave). As for season 6, fans were given a double dose
of mystery when the Bolen family arrived in town (See “Torchwood”’ John Barrowman
get blown up in a Prius!) and the Fairview Strangler terrorized the neighborhood (Poor
Eddie!). And the writers must have been getting a little nostalgic when they brought back
first-season Man of Mystery Paul Young for the seventh and penultimate season (More
revenge! This time with a switched-at-birth twist!).
Clearly the show is a liberal dressed in a conservative’s clothing. The fictional and
picturesque town of Fairview is located in the conveniently ambiguous “Eagle State”
(Anywhere, U.S.A.). It’s neither red nor blue but a bold shade of purple, maintaining its
appeal to moms in Missouri as well as party boys in West Hollywood.
This couldn’t be exemplified any more than in Marcia Cross’ Bree, who was modeled
after Cherry’s very own mother. Bree may be an uptight, church-going, gun-toting
Republican with a penchant for pie-making, but she’s got a gay son and a less-thanperfect
daughter she loves with all her heart.
And now that the groundbreaking dramedy’s eighth and final season has kicked off,

Where soldiers come from
(International Film Circuit)
Jury award winning documentary of the SXSW festival, Where Soldiers Come From
provides a look into who the soldiers are that protect our social liberties. Director Heather
Courtney dives head first into trying to assess the true affects that the War on Terror has
had on the American people. Courtney details the journey of three friends from Michigan:
Dominic Fredianelli, the creative and artistic leader of the group; Cole Smith, the comedic
and lighthearted gun-toting philosopher; and Matt “Bodi” Beaudoin, the hardcore
conservative of the group. We see the soldiers’ journey, from friends looking to just enlist
in the National Guard as way to earn the quick $20,000 signing bonus, free college tuition
and to be all they can be. The trio feels this can just simply be something to do every
month. Once they start National Guard troop training, they quickly change from out of
shape partiers to somewhat trained soldiers. This transition is one of the great things about
Where Soldiers Come From. We get to see the reality that comes with their growing up in
such a stressful wartime situation. The group’s thoughts of just being weekend warriors
takes a turn for the worst as the friends are deployed and sent to Afghanistan, thrust in the
middle of war sweeping for roadside bombs and investigating hostile insurgents.
After repeated bombings and attacks on their convoys, the three friends are no longer
carefree but have become trained warriors. Just as the group is becoming engrained in the
military lifestyle, they return home with the feeling of now what? The trio falls back into
normalcy at home, and this was the best part of the film, as you get to see how tough it is
being a soldier in combat and then coming back home to simple everyday life. This is what
I saw as the biggest problem with being a soldier: It is a career that you just can’t turn off.
Where Soldiers Come From is told over a four-year time-span in which the friends truly
grow up and become adults. As the film progresses, we see that with growing up comes
responsibility and fear of many things, including failure, lack of economic prosperity and
feeling no purpose in life. There are many fears that plague most young Americans, but
in Courtney’s documentary we see these fears are only magnified when you have been
fighting to stay alive in war. Where Soldiers Come From doesn’t deal with an original
concept of friends going to fight in war, but it does a persuasive job examining their
specific journey, which viewers will enjoy.

the screening didn’t sell out so quickly at Film Independent’s
latest collaboration with LACMA. But don’t despair, the
series fittingly called Film Independent at LACMA still has
other things up its sleeves.
The non-profit arts organization, which also produces
the Spirit Awards and the Los Angeles Film Festival, has
partnered up with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
to present a new program that will showcase “classic and
contemporary narrative and documentary films, artists and
their influences, emerging auteurs, international showcases,
special guest-curated programs, in addition to conversations
with artists, curators and special guests.” You can no longer
purchase the Hunter S. Thompson adaptation, The Rum

that will surely be as awesome, if not more, depending on the
level of your Johnny Depp fixation.

Luck Be a Lady
By SoLa FaSehun
loS angeleS iS filled With aCtorS Who
move out from various places all over the world to get their
big break in Hollywood with the hope that they will be one
of the few lucky ones to make it. There are a few lucky people
who make it because they were at the right place at the right
time. But what happens when that luck gets you on set and
you don’t have the talent to back it up? Brea Grant was one
of the few lucky ones to be at the right place at the right time
in the beginning of her career. But luck has not factored into
her longevity as an actress. Talent and hard work definitely
have more to do with Grant’s success than luck.
How did you get into acting?
Brea Grant: I acted as a kid in community theater in Texas.
I went to college for history, was getting my degree and
decided it wasn’t the career for me. I was taking acting
classes on the side for fun. I moved to L.A. and wrote my
graduate thesis while I lived in L.A. University of Texas was
really awesome to let me do this. It was a whim, but a good
choice. It’s important to follow your heart. Not that I want
to encourage people to drop out, but it’s important to follow
your gut instinct.
What are some projects you’ve done in the past that you see
as huge stepping-stones?
10 Campus Circle 10.5.11 - 10.11.11
On Oct. 16, the series will screen Martha Marcy May
Marlene, a thriller written and directed by Sean Durkin and
starring Elizabeth Olsen (the twins’ younger, less publicized
sister) and Sarah Paulson. Paulson plays Lucy, who struggles
to reclaim the soul of her sibling (played by Olsen) from a
cult leader (John Hawkes) “that seduced her away.” This is
a members-only screening for Film Independent, LACMA
Film Club and New York Times Club members. Writerdirector
Durkin and actors Hawkes, Paulson and Olsen will
be present for Q&A, so there won’t be any nagging questions
left in your head as you leave the screening.
So The Rum Diary is sold out and you’re not a Film
Independent, LACMA Film Club or a New York Times
Club member (I’m sorry!), you can go see Modern Times on
Oct. 18. Don’t let the 1936 release year turn you off; it’s a
Charlie Chaplin classic that is as hilarious as it is potently
relevant as a commentary on the swing of labor conditions.
Modern Times is set during the Great Depression and
follows Chaplin’s Little Tramp as he survives an “ingeniously
conceived series of tableaux that display the comedian’s
ability to make audiences laugh and sigh.” “How I Met Your
Mother”’s Josh Radnor will be attending for a Q&A session. Is
he a big Chaplin fan or a Great Depression buff, who knows?
Chaplin’s long gone and a young actor, writer and director
from an Emmy Award-winning sitcom will definitely make
for an insightful and interesting evening.
If you’re not a fan of The Breakfast Club then there is
something wrong with you. The ’80s, John Hughes classic
chronicles five delinquent teenagers and their time serving
Saturday detention at their clique-infested high school.
They all play different stereotypical characters, but guess
what, they all are just trying to survive adolescent heartaches
after all. No recent high school-genre film can compare.
“Heroes” is an obvious one and “Friday Night Lights.”
“Friday Night Lights” was great because it has a huge fan
following with people in L.A. and the industry. I did three
episodes of that show, and it led to other projects. When they
were writing the role of Daphne on “Heroes,” they wanted
to cast me based on the work I did in “Friday Night Lights.”
I got a call from my agent about this, and I was blown
away. I had still been waitressing when I did “Friday Nights
Lights.” Another stepping-stone was this indie horror movie,
Midnight Movie. Every role ends up changing you in some
way.
What are you working on now?
I just finished a recurring role on “Dexter.” I’m always writing,
and I just wrote a screenplay that I will star in and shoot in
Texas. I’m also doing a motion comic book (cartoon) based
on Hack/Slash.
Is there a special moment during your career that you can
share?
(Laughing). I get a lot of advice. Adrian Pasdar who
played Nathan Petrelli, the politician on “Heroes,” told me,
“Remember that nothing changes you. You can get the
biggest part in the world. But make sure that you are happy.”
I remember I had just finished “Heroes.” I was trying to pay
my bills. No matter what I’m doing at the moment if I’m not
happy with me then I’ll never be happy by being on the best
show. It doesn’t change your life. You still live in the same
apartment and have the same friends (hopefully).
Do you have advice for anyone who wants to become an
actor?
The biggest advice is to go for it. Treat it like a job. People

creation of a somber and unforgettable tone poem – paid
tribute to by Morrissey in his song “You Have Killed Me.”

IAN SHIVE
Receives Sierra Club’s ansel
adams award for Conservation
Photography
there’S no doUbt that ConServation
photographer Ian Shive has tremendous passion for his craft,
but his influence reaches far beyond the realm of just one
art form.
His photos and articles have graced the pages of
hundreds of publications and with the release of his first
conservation photography book, The National Parks: Our
American Landscape, Shive has become the leading chronicler
of America’s National Parks.
Earlier this year, Shive teamed with “One Tree Hill”
actors Stephen Colletti and James Lafferty for a fascinating
web series that encourages shedding technological comforts
to adventure in the American wilderness.
It’s no wonder that the Sierra Club recognized Shive
with this year’s Ansel Adams Award for Conservation
Photography.
Campus Circle catches up with Shive shortly after the
award announcement.
What does it mean to you, being given an award named for
Ansel Adams?
It is humbling (and surprising!) to be awarded anything that

stems from such a luminary as Adams, but also by those who
have been awarded this before me, photographers whose
images sat as books on my shelves and hung on my walls
as a teenager serving subconsciously perhaps as glints of the
experiences I would one day seek out myself.
The true reward might be to know that my images
inspire the same one day.
In a 2009 interview with Campus Circle, you had stated:
“It’s not just taking pretty pictures. People can affect
change through photography.” What specific changes do
you most hope to inspire with your work?
The truth is, change comes from within each of us as an
individual. I hope that I can inspire people to seek out the
experiences our wild places lend us and that, in turn, those
experiences cause each individual to action.
I don’t want to tell people what they should do; I want
them to feel inspired to seek the answers themselves. Our
environment needs a conscious, smart-living society but
that must begin with a respect that is only discovered by
exploring places on your own.
What advice would you give aspiring photographers on the
path to discovering their passion?
Do what you love! Some people only focus on insects, others
on baby animals. If you are a photographer – and this is true
for any profession – you must first love what you do, and the
rest follows. It sounds like a cliché, but it’s worked for me and
many others before me.
Do you have any plans for another photo book or project
like “Wild Life”?
Yes, definitely. I’ve shot literally thousands of new images

By BRenDa CaMBeRoS CSS performs oct. 8 at echoplex.
More bandS, deejayS and SUrpriSeS are CoMing oUr Way on
behalf of the blossoming Culture Collide Festival. This week, the annual Culture Collide
festival takes over Echo Park with performances by artists from 24 countries. The eclectic
musical soiree kicks off at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 5 closing at midnight on Sunday, Oct.
9. This year’s musical soiree will feature CSS (Cansei der Ser Sexy), the brash Brazilians
whose name translates to “tired of being sexy,” most known for the hit “Music is My
Hot Sex.” This new wave outfit will be performing new tracks, and if they’re anything
like their last tunes, we are in for a sonic treat. Another band to be on the lookout for
is Israel’s Electra. Their ear-bending ability to turn a classic into something unique and
contemporary is truly amazing. Fuse that with a bit of Brit-pop, and your results are
nothing short of spectacular. If you’re feeling like something a little more techno, then
Datarock is the way to go, a Norwegian five-piece outfit who can offer up all the tonguein-cheek
electro rock you can handle.
This might be a baby festival, but it has more than enough to keep you entertained.
Aside from amazing music from across the globe, Culture Collide offers happy hours, free
giveaways, a plethora of food selections, easily navigable venues and last but certainly not
least a super economic wristband for only $20. The festival includes film screenings and
Culture Collide’s pop-up art gallery, Composition: Visual Notes on Music, curated by the
Lucie Foundation.
The festival takes place at several venues including the Echo, Echoplex, Taix, 826LA, the
Church, ReForm Academy, Co-op and Origami Vinyl. Wristbands are available at ticketweb.

BLINK-182
Reunited and Ready for the
Long haul
By keVin C. JohnSon
ST. LouiS PoST-DiSPaTCh (MCT)
patienCe iS finally paying off for blink-182
fans, who have been waiting – and waiting – for new music
from the pop-punk rockers.
The long-dormant band – frontman Tom DeLonge, bassist
Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker – resurfaced at the
2009 Grammy Awards, reuniting on stage to present an award.
Fans were giddy about seeing the fellows again (They
hadn’t released a studio album since 2003’s self-titled effort.)
and even giddier about what they had to say.
“We decided we’re going to play music together again,”
DeLonge told the Grammy audience, going on to hint at an
album and tour for summer 2009.
Now, more than two years later, fans finally have an
opportunity to check out all the new things Blink-182 has
been up to.
The band is touring with My Chemical Romance as part of
the Honda Civic Tour. Blink-182’s new album, Neighborhoods,
just hit stores on Sept. 26.
Getting comfortable again as friends and band mates was
part of what took so long for this reunion effort to happen,

Fay Wolf: spiders
You were probably taught as a child not to “cry wolf,” but
now as an adult you can feel free to cry “Wolf” all you want
in celebration of the impending release of Fay Wolf’s Spiders
album. Some have compared the L.A.-based singer’s style to
that of Ani DiFranco, and Wolf herself describes her work as
“sad song funny joke music.”
But it’s likely that you already have an idea of what
Spiders sounds like since Wolf’s music has recently been
featured on lots of television shows including “Covert
Affairs,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” Similarly,
as an actress Wolf has many appearances on popular shows
under her belt but you would never guess that she’s also a
professional organizer who owns a company called New
Order (yes, named after the influential English synth-pop
band.) So if you need a few tips on straightening out your
space try to corner Wolf after her Nov. 3 show at Hotel Café;
Spiders drops a few days later on Nov. 8.
Murder in the front Row
Bazillion Points Books has announced a December release
for Murder in the Front Row: Shots from the Bay Area Thrash
Metal Epicenter, a large-format 272-page hardcover sure to
thrill fans of the early thrash-metal era. The book contains
over 400 color and black-and-white photos of acts like
Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Exodus that were shot in the
early ’80s by photographers Harald Oimoen and Brian Lew
in Bay Area nightclubs like the Old Waldorf, the Stone and
Ruthie’s Inn.
Death Angel, Testament, Legacy, Possessed and Violence
are among the many other groups featured in this early

Hoppus says. “I think it took awhile to get to
that point,” he says. “I think it took, first of
all, reconnecting as friends after not having
spoken for about five years. And then it took
getting back into the studio as well as getting
back out on the road.”
Adds DeLonge: “It definitely took time
for us to kind of put all of these different
pieces back together to run the business
appropriately.”
When the band hits the stage, fans
will get a good mix of the new stuff from
Neighborhoods and the songs that helped
make Blink-182 famous, Hoppus says.
“I think that all of us know that when
people come to a Blink show they’re going to
want to hear ‘All the Small Things’ and ‘The
Rock Show’ and ‘Stay Together for the Kids’
and the singles we’ve had over the years,”
Hoppus says.
Being back together has reminded DeLonge what made
him want to start the band in the first place.
“I remember the very first time we played the songs when
we got back together, and it made me feel exactly the same way
I feel the hour before I go on stage,” he says.
“It makes me feel the way I felt when I started played
guitar and my whole reason for wanting to break out of
suburbia and go do something bigger.”
Hoppus says that now the band is “our priority” and
that fans don’t have to worry about members’ side projects
derailing the main event.
And they don’t have to worry about seeing the band
disappear again anytime soon.

Popa Chubby: Back to New York city
On the eve of the release of his Back to New York City album,
the prolific (more than 20 albums so far) and slightly
menacing looking (300 pounds, shaved head, lots of tattoos)
blues-rocker Popa Chubby has a bit to say.
“If there’s one thing I want people to know about me
it’s that I’m a survivor. My dad died when I was 7; I was
abandoned and raised myself. I moved to New York City at
18 and started playing music, but I got a huge heroin habit
and ended up strung out on the streets. When I got away
from drugs I never went back; I got into the New York blues
scene of the early ’90s, and here I am today.”
The guitarist cites the Stooges, Motörhead, Buddy Guy,
Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Robert Johnson as
some of the influences audible on Back to New York City.
Popa believes the work to be a “career album;” find out if you
agree when it drops on Oct. 11.

“Blink will last as long as we enjoy what we’re doing, and
recording this album has been a lot of fun,” he says. “I think
there’s something in the madness and in the creative process
between the three of us that can be so frustrating at times, but
it can also be a massive joy.
“And somewhere in that tension I think is where the good
work from Blink-182 gets done. So I can see us lasting for
many years.”

Little Dragon
Oct. 6 & 7 @ Avalon
While I would much prefer to be seeing Little
Dragon at one of the more dive-y venue
establishments Los Angeles has to offer, there
comes a point where every music fan has to
accept that the precious indie band they’ve
held in their pocket for so long just isn’t going
to play the Echo ever again. Sigh.
Be that as it may, the members of Little
Dragon have at least worked their collective
asses off to work their way up to bigger
stages and have paid their dues on those
aforementioned seedy club stages playing
Little Dragon takes over the avalon

to disinterested hipsters – truly, a worthy trial for any band to weather these days. Also
commendable is the fact that the band has earned its way to big venues via word of mouth
from that extensive touring, rather than by any concerted media effort to make them a
“Next Big Thing” or whatever.
Frontwoman Yukimi Nagano’s ethereal crooning brings to life the dreamy pop
instrumentation of her band mates and can be as catchy as it is haunting. Given that the
band’s latest work is some of its best yet, maybe we can let the bigger venue thing slide.
Kevin Devine
Oct. 6 @ The Troubadour
Kevin Devine: The single man who wrote the album Brand New should have written.
The Brooklyn native singer-songwriter employs precious few instruments for maximum
emotive impact in each of his songs, told with a lyrical intelligence that doesn’t shy away
from dishing out real talk either. With his signature shaky-voiced vulnerability, Devine can
make even the biggest venues feel small and intimate. Although, having him actually play
a small and intimate venue like the Troubadour takes things to a whole new level in terms
of how much of an experience he’ll give you.
Circa Survive
Oct. 7 @ Fox Theatre
Circa Survive frontman Anthony Green’s voice is the stuff that myth and legend are made
of. He’s only one of the greatest – and also most criminally underrated – vocalists in all of
modern rock and also one of its most engaging frontmen. Despite a bit of a penchant for
general onstage artsy-weirdness, Green knows how to work a stage for masterful effect to
match his band’s atmospheric post-hardcore intensity.
Yellowcard/Every Avenue/Go Radio
Oct. 8 @ House of Blues Anaheim
Since there’s a lot of serious business happening elsewhere in Frequency this week, you’re
going to need something that’s a little more unashamed fun for balance in your everyday
life. The dudes of Yellowcard, Every Avenue and Go Radio will be happy to supply, I’m sure.
All three of these bands know how to masterfully write an infectious pop song, but all three
know just as well how to create a well-written melodic rock song that isn’t age-restrictive
either. And though all three bands are at very different career stages right now, they’re all
great proof that pop-punk doesn’t have to pander to lowest common denominator appeal.
Anberlin
Oct. 11 @ The Wiltern
Kind of like with Jack’s Mannequin last week, it’s really hard to listen to Anberlin and
not feel inspired to go out and do something important and benevolent with your life.
Like, really hard. Trust me, I’ve tried. The pop-punk-turned-legit-grown-up-rock band
is catchy and intelligent, which, despite a heavy abundance in the column this week, is
terribly rare elsewhere in this scene of music.
Frank Turner/Into It. Over It.
Oct. 11 @ Glass House
Oct. 13 @ El Rey
Now what better way to close out this week’s picks than with a show that will unequivocally
get you stoked on life again. For those purists who think that folk and punk are two
mutually exclusive genres that neither can nor should overlap in any way, Frank Turner is
everything your favorite punk bands wish they were. The English-bred singer’s whiskeysoaked
howling over acoustic guitar thrashing makes for some of the best storytelling
music to throw back a round of drinks to. While raw and gritty in his approach, Turner
brings a realness and authenticity with his music that is relatable above all else.
Though slightly more on the subdued and mellow side, opening act Into It. Over It.
will still have much of the same emotive effect that Turner has, similarly armed with little
more than an acoustic guitar.

By eVa ReCinoS
it’S nothing neW that the internet haS
changed the music industry. But the Internet’s influence is not
letting up. In fact, it’s continuing to change the music world in
the manner that we share and discover new music.
With the coming of Spotify, the accessibility of music –
in a completely legal way – has changed drastically. But there
is another game-player coming to the table when it comes
to shaking things up in the music and Internet worlds: our
beloved Facebook.
The social networking giant is now teaming up with
companies like Spotify and Ticketmaster to make your
sharing and music experience completely different from how
it was 10 years ago, or even a few months ago. You can now do
things like check where your Facebook friends are sitting at a
Ticketmaster concert or see what your friends are listening to
on Spotify.
Suddenly, a scene that was mostly isolated in terms of
Internet use – you bought iTunes tracks on your own, and
if you wanted to share them, it was mostly done illegally –
has become much more communal. You can now see other
friends’ posts, photos, videos and everything in between and
know exactly what song they are listening to as they browse
Facebook. And it’s not uncommon to see a friend start a band
page for their newest project.

Jack’s Mannequin
People and Things
(Sire)
It’s no secret that Jack’s Mannequin frontman Andrew
McMahon has leukemia and that his medical condition
contributed significantly to the tenor of the last Jack’s album,
The Glass Passenger. People and Things is also informed by
McMahon’s battle with cancer but in a back-to-business way;
“My Racing Thoughts” is positive and soaring, and you can
imagine that this is exactly the way McMahon wished he
could be while undergoing treatment. You can read all kinds
of things into song titles like “Release Me” and its lyric of
“take another piece of me,” but the truth is McMahon has
moved on and listeners need to also.
“Release Me” has a joyous buoyancy that mirrors the
Toto hit “Hold the Line,” while “Television,” also upbeat,
deals with the relatively mundane subject of distracting
oneself from bedtime loneliness by sleeping with the TV on.
McMahon’s current attitude is probably best summed-up
with the mid-tempo piano and violin number “Hey Hey Hey
(We’re All Gonna Die.)” Considering McMahon’s recent past
you wouldn’t expect him to come up with such a title but
the song is, surprisingly, a sing-along that like the rest of the
album is more a celebration than it is a dirge.

The Internet might not necessarily help out artists
financially, but it creates a completely different platform and
ease for spreading information quickly. Though you aren’t
actually required to purchase any of the tracks on Spotify, it
makes it extraordinarily easy to check out new music quickly.
You see a friend of yours listening to a band, and you can check
that band out with a couple of clicks at the most. Suddenly,
you’ve got the music world at your fingertips, and artists have
every Facebook user working as a PR person pro bono.
But though it’s easier for artists to be discovered, it’s
also more challenging. Hundreds, maybe even thousands
or millions, of musicians are posting music on Facebook,
Tumblr, Twitter and any other social media network possible.
There has to be something defining in their sound that catches
someone’s attention.
In a virtual world where we’re used to getting things
quickly – pressing enter gets your status published, a click tags
someone on a photo, a Tweet communicates your feelings
succinctly and quickly – our attention spans are much, much
shorter. There isn’t the excitement of opening up a CD or LP
and actually owning the tracks. There is only the intangible
clicking on a track to hear perhaps a few seconds before we
move on to the next one.
Having Facebook as a tool to market and identity is
useful, but there is much out there now that it will likely create
even more competition, even in the smallest of things. If a
Facebook friend sees a song title, is it intriguing enough for
them to want to click it?
Developments like these are only going to continue to
blossom. Ticketmaster is even discussing the possibility of
selling tickets on Facebook. The payoff, then, will also be large
for Facebook, which will only continue to be an open window
in laptops and computers across the world and for music
had with him was his ratty leather briefcase, inside of which
were notebooks containing lyrics for songs that had yet to be
finished and recorded. Now more than half a century later
a dozen songs have come to fruition out of the notebook
material, brought to life by a who’s who of artists whose own
careers have been highly influenced by Williams.
“You’ve Been Lonesome Too” by Alan Jackson and
“The Love That Faded” by Bob Dylan layer on pedal steel
guitar liberally to replicate Williams’ weepy style of country
music near perfectly, but it’s Jack White’s “You Know That
I Know” that through emotive, tremulous vocals better
captures Williams’ spirit. Surprisingly almost half of The Lost
Notebooks is performed by women with “You’re Through
Fooling Me” by Patty Loveless sounding like pure Hank,
while Lucinda Williams’ “I’m So Happy I Found You” is barely
distinguishable from her self-penned work, a compliment to
her own writing for sure.
The prize for sounding like Hank vocally and musically
goes to Levon Helm for “You’ll Never Again Be Mine;” the
song will make fans want to break out their original Williams
recordings. Merle Haggard, Jakob Dylan and Norah Jones are
among others contributing to this very interesting project.

It makes discovering music easier, but it also makes it
even more unlikely that you’ll ever walk into a CD store again.

ambition is no longer
a problem. After the
three pleasant but
increasingly settled al–
bums that followed the
breakthrough Yankee
Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco has
once again reasserted
itself as a rock band
filled with wild ideas
and loads of issues to
work through.
As the title suggests, singer-guitarist Jeff Tweedy has
opted for a more holistic approach, tackling issues of love
and life from a variety of vantage points, both lyrically
and stylistically. He can be straightforward and playful, as
he is in the upbeat single “I Might.” He can be moody and
contemplative, as he is in the orchestral folk of “Black Moon.”
And he seems on the surest footing with the clattering
defiance of “Born Alone,” driven by churning guitar that
gradually gets increasingly more agitated as Tweedy declares,
“I was born to die alone.”
The Whole Love is overflowing with cool twists and
unexpected turns – like the bloopy synths that invade the
otherwise Tin Pan Alley-era “Capitol City” – meant to
confound conventional thinking. Is Wilco an experimental
rock outfit or an alt-folk group looking to tell interesting
stories over pretty backdrops? The Whole Love suggests the
answer to both questions is “Yes!”

adventures of a Club Doorman
By PoLiTuS
itS 1:05 a.M. in hollyWood.
Silver Medal Girl is visibly pissed that I actually made her pay to get in as she
begrudgingly utters something under her breath before she is suddenly almost knocked
down by Glitter Girl and Androgynous Boy, both of whom are getting escorted quickly
out of the club by a bouncer.
“Byyyeee … Glitter Girl waves to me as she goes out the front door still smiling, still
out of her mind on the Xanax that she, if she’s still looking, will now easily find outside
on the streets of Hollywood at this late night hour.
“What was she on?” Silver Medal Girl sarcastically asks.
“Well, now she’s on the street!” I sarcastically answer. “Now you’re the shiniest thing
in here.”
“Is that a compliment?” she asks.
“Well, with you and the girl with all the glitter on her face who just got kicked out
here together, for that brief second I thought I was going to need to put on my sunglasses,”
I jokingly reply.
“The lights aren’t that bright in here,” she answers back.
“Neither are most people who wear their sunglasses inside a club,” I say.
“Not that bright to you?” she asks as she pretends to be genuinely interested in what
my answer may be.
“Not really.
It’s not really a bright idea to wear sunglasses in a club at night, unless you’re in an
’80s music video, or any hip-hop video ever made, for that matter.”
“Not even if you’re trying to be the ‘shiniest thing in there’?” she says, as if she were
winning a gold medal with the callback in this particular question.
“Usually the shiniest things in here do wear sunglasses with their shiny clothing:
anything for the attention. There’s a big difference between the ‘shiniest’ and the
‘brightest’,” I say.
Its 1:06 a.m. in Hollywood.
“Just because someone wears shiny and bright clothing and sunglasses in a club
doesn’t mean they’re not too bright in the head,” Silver Medal Girl states as she firmly
adjusts her own sunglasses to coincide with statement.
“I’m not saying that. I’m not here to judge peoples IQs. I’m not even here to judge
their IDs – their photos – the way they used to look and dress before they ever came here
to Hollywood, before they ever came to this club, before they moved here from small
town wherever or whatever and decided to get a new look and a new attitude to play the
game. I don’t judge these people; I don’t know these people.
I’m just saying most of the people who wear the sunglasses at night and the bright
and shiny clothes in the club obviously want people to notice them. They want to be seen,
and if I wanted that so badly I’d make sure my light didn’t dim after first contact.”
“After first contact?” she asks puzzlingly. “Are you using another sports reference or
a sexual reference here?”
“Neither,” I say. “I’m referring to first contact like the first steps on another planet,
like a walk on the moon or something. Most of these people – these shiny, attention
seeking people – want others to notice them first of all, then when and if they meet, they
want the person they’ve met to think they are different than all the other shiny things on
this planet we call L.A. And ultimately they want something new; something out of this
world.”

Belanova had the Conga Room dancing all night long.
Belanova
Sept. 22 @ The Conga Room
Experiencing a show of Latin synthpop can surely result into an unforgettable weeknight.
But Belanova’s music concert at the Conga Room represented that and much more. Of
Jalisco, Mexico origin, this trio implanted strong energy and a vibrant performance to
each of their performed tracks.
Composed of lead vocalist Denisse Guerrero, programmer and keyboardist Edgar
Huerta and bassist Ricardo Arreola, Belanova appeared on stage with no surprises
whatsoever. Each band member and the supporting cast stepped foot with no rush, with
ease and with their profound humility that have made them known throughout the
world. Eventually, the adorably dressed Gerrero reached the platform while the crowd
reacted lively with much enthusiasm and happiness to see this unique voice sing her
lungs out.
This group hit stardom in 2005 with Dulce Beat (Sweet Beat), which carries the
popular “Rosa Pastel.” Belanova delivered with this tune, which was performed second to
last after the audience demanded the encore. “Rosa Pastel” (Pastel Pink) is an electropop
but romantic song detailing the ideals of a woman’s relationship struggles and rewards
with her significant other.
“Baila Mi Corazon” (My Heart Dances) and “One, Two, Three, Go!” were other
melodies that Belanova, who have been together over 11 years, performed. Both come
from the 2007 record titled Fantasia Pop (Fantasy Pop). After having showcased their
repertoire for a little over an hour, Belanova finished with an up-tempo track to dance
the night away.
Once at the L.A. Coliseum, Belanova performed in front of more than 50,000 fans at
a musical festival. This time around, they performed with much less than that and they
show that pleasing the public is a priority regardless of the amount present. Belanova,
who have over 637,000 fans on their Facebook fan page, is currently on tour in the United
States.

Marc Anthony
Sept. 24 @ Gibson Amphitheatre
From the start of this music show, I definitely got to know more of the incredibly talented
Puerto Rican salsa singer Marc Anthony. Dressed in a black suit, shirt, shoes and dark
sunglasses, Anthony came to the stage with a hunger to deliver the performance of a
lifetime.
“I Need to Know” was the first track he performed on the night of his first of two L.A.
based concerts at the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal Studios CityWalk. Filled with a
contagious upbeat tempo that even the Greek gods could easily dance to, Anthony got the
crowd jumping, screaming, singing and dancing with the opening song. But everything
seemed to pause in between the first and second tune.
And that was Hector Lavoe’s “Aguanile,” a legendary melody that Anthony performs
to pay tribute to the already deceased Lavoe. “Aguanile” is intense and rather fast-paced,
and Anthony’s vocals resulted in excellence on the number.
After a segment of romantic salsa, Anthony performed “Valio La Pena.” Arguably his
most recognizable song because of its unique beat, profound lyrics, and distinguished
vocals, the display of “Valio La Pena” (It Was Worth It) was beyond magical.
When “No Hay Nadie Como Ella” (No One Like Her) was played, a time for romantic
reflection was called upon. This song details the story of a guy cherishing a woman who
is affectionate, driven, beautiful, and almost nonexistent to the degree of her perfect
description.
Although Anthony did not hand out performances of a lot of well-known songs, he
saved two of his best for last. “Mi Gente” (My People), another Lavoe track, came second
to last before the grand encore of “Tu Amor Me Hace Bien” (Your Love is Good to Me).
There could not have been a better song to close out the night of great and pure salsa

SUSHI NEAR
UCLA AND USC
By eRiCa CaRTeR
Whether yoU live on or off CaMpUS, it’S
good to know that you can have an excellent meal nearby. If
you’re just going for dinner with friends, taking a break from
studying or celebrating passing finals, there’s great sushi to
be had less than 10 miles from UCLA and USC. Here are
some spots worth paying a visit to.
NEAR UCLA
Ami Japanese Restaurant
1051 Broxton Ave., Westwood (310) 209-1994; mybestsushi.
com
Another two-story lushly decorated sushi spot, Ami has the
best Japanese snapper, scallop, maguro and fatty yellowtail
in town. Everything is 50-percent off during Happy Hour –
you’ll notice most of the sushi spots near campus are really
inexpensive. This is especially evident at Ami, where you
can find two additional pieces to bring the total roll of eight
pieces for under $5. The bed of seared albacore with crispy
onions and sauce may not be sushi, but it’s definitely an
Albacore Jungle worth entering.
Asuka Restaurant
1266 Westwood Blvd., Westwood (310) 474-7412
Offering huge portions and reliably delicious, Asuka has
great options that are kind to your wallet like the Tuna Plate.
I’ve never been to a restaurant where I can order a plate of
tuna with a spicy tuna roll, albacore, white tuna and my
favorite, maguro. I couldn’t believe how such a large plate of
18 Campus Circle 10.5.11 - 10.11.11
fresh fish was under $30. Bravo, Asuka. Also try the Nomo
and Matsui Rolls.
Echigo
12217 Santa Monica Blvd., Ste 201, West Los Angeles (310)
820-9787
Should you venture down a little to the heavily traveled Santa
Monica Boulevard by Bundy Drive, the best kid on the block
is Echigo. The sushi rice is served traditionally – in the warm
way – with a few splashes of vinegar thrown in. Nothing is
cooked or served in rolls here, and it’s like stepping into an
authentic spot in Japan. If you’re looking for edamame or
your typical roll, look elsewhere. This is no frills, back-tobasics
sushi.
Saketini
150 S. Barrington Ave., Brentwood (310) 440-5553;
saketini.com
Saketini is a girl’s night out type of spot. The menu really
focuses on healthy options, and many of the bento box
dishes are cooked on lava, yes lava, rocks. The Jade Scallops
are pretty big, perfect for a party of four to share, along with
an order of Spicy Tuna Over Crispy Rice. The sushi ranges
from Lobster rolls to Crispy Whitefish and Crispy Calamari
rolls that all pack a punch of flavor. Go for the sushi, stay for
the dessert, like the perfectly fried Tempura Ice Cream.
Sasabune
12400 Wilshire Blvd., West Los Angeles (310) 820-3596;
trustmesushi.com
One place UCLA students should experience at least once
is Sushi Sasabune, right on Wilshire Boulevard. If you don’t
have a car, you can take the No. 2 bus to this tiny spot on
the corner of Wilshire and Centinela Avenue. Like Sugarfish,
Sushi Sasabune employs a strict rule of “no soy sauce on
sushi.” Proper sushi takes great skill to prepare and cut, and
a lot of these items should not be spoiled with the likes of
the wasabi/soy mix. You’ll find Chef Nobi Kushuhara behind
the bar serving up omakase, which is the most popular menu
choice. This means you will be trying whatever he would
Campus Circle > Culture > Food
like to serve, usually about eight to 10 dishes. The best sushi
I’ve had so far has been the butterfish from this place – an
absolute delight!
Sugarfish
11640 W. San Vicente Blvd., Brentwood (310) 820-4477;
sugarfishsushi.com
Even greater sushi, with a higher price point, is found in
Brentwood, namely the famed Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa.
Campus Circle has covered this spot before (It’s the one
where the only fish served is what was caught that day,
really ensuring that you get the ultimate in your dining
experience.). House-made soy sauce and ponzu are served,
but you won’t find California or spicy tuna rolls here. The
beauty of Sugarfish is that you completely put your “trust”
in what Chef Kazunori Nozawa has in store for you on any
given evening. From Oyster Sashimi to Blue Crab rolls,
Sugarfish is an adventure for those of you who really take the
art of sushi seriously.
Sushi Masu
1911 Westwood Blvd., West Los Angeles (310) 446-4368
If you’re looking for sushi, not sushi rolls, pay a visit to Sushi
Masu. Another heavy hitter with the highest of high fish
standards, the Sweet Shrimp is completely memorable. Sushi
Masu’s skills with seared items like snapper and salmon will
most likely keep you coming back for more. Sit at the bar as
it’s a great experience, and if you get talked into ordering the
omakase, you won’t regret it.
SushiStop
2053 Sawtelle Blvd., West Los Angeles (310) 473-3999;
sushistopusa.com
UCLA favorite Sushi Mac is now closed, but SushiStop
quickly filled the void. SushiStop’s Aburi Salmon Belly is
really the star here; you can order it with white truffle oil or
black caviar. For hot items, I love the Baked Whitefish Roll
(baked whitefish smothered with dynamite sauce served on
top of a California roll) and Dynamite Roll – go figure, I
don’t like California rolls at all, but topped with scallops and
dynamite, we’ve got a deal!
Takao
11656 San Vicente Blvd., Brentwood (310) 207-8636;
takaobrentwood.com
If it’s date night – sushi style, I recommend Takao. Another
Brentwood gem off San Vicente, Chef Takao Izumida’s
whimsical yet substantial sushi pairings are unique. The
visual presentation is one thing, like the Toro Tartare with
Caviar and the New Style Sashimi with Truffle, but the taste
is on a whole other level. The Halibut Carpaccio is almost like
butter, and the yuzu provides a nice palate cleansing balance.
It’s literally a “party in your mouth” with all the options Chef
Takao has included on the impressive menu.
Tomodachi Sushi
10975 Weyburn Ave., Westwood (310) 824-8805;
tomodachisushila.com
Fifty-percent off during Happy Hour helps things immensely
at Tomodachi Sushi, but it’s really not the inexpensive
meal that is the draw. Billed as “Global Fusion Cuisine”
Tomodachi has healthy and delicious offerings. The Tuna
& Salmon roll is colorful and appealing to your taste buds.
The Garlic Albacore Roll and Popcorn Lobster Tempura Roll
are very popular. Add a made to order lemonade with green
tea mint or ginger or strawberries, and you’ve got a really
guilt free meal. Tomodachi has been a UCLA favorite for
years, and they even have a roll named the Bruin: sashimi
tuna and tomatoes on a spicy tuna roll with a spicy sauce
below. If you’re going to order this, make sure you’re visiting
Tomodachi on an empty stomach – it’s very filling!
Yamato
1099 Westwood Blvd., Westwood (310) 208-0100;

ONTHEMENU
yamatorestaurants.com
A charming space with high ceilings and a view of the sushi
bar from the top floor, Yamato offers sushi from the hands
of Chef Katsu Hanamure, formerly of famed Matsuhisa.
Start off with Black Cod Saikyo Miso Yaki, broiled to buttery
perfection with a side of pickled vegetables for a nice sweet
and sour contrast. Chef Hanamure’s specialty rolls, like the
Soft Shell Crab Roll and the Rainbow Roll, are fresh and
surprisingly light. You can’t go wrong with the Yellowtail
Sashimi with Jalapeno atop tangy ponzu.
*An honorable mention goes to UCLA’s own Hedrick
Residential Restaurant. Served twice a week, students come
in as soon as the sushi menu is setup. Have you tried this
place? Please write in (e-mail food.editor@campuscircle.net)
and let us know what’s the scoop on scoring the sushi during
the week.
NEAR USC
If you drive about five minutes (or if you don’t have a car,
you can take the DASH and get there in 10 minutes) to
Downtown, namely Little Tokyo, you will find a maze of
sushi spots that are so good, you won’t want to go anywhere
else.
Arashi Sushi
1111 S. Hope St., Ste. 100; Downtown (213) 749-1900;
arashisushi.com
One happy hour that’s a must try at least once, is at Sushi
Arashi, (Mon-Fri, from 5 p.m.-8pm). Arashi is all about
beautiful food through beautiful art. The Lemon Roll, with
spicy tuna and avocado wrapped with tuna and sliced lemon,
and the robata-yaki are the best. For those of you unfamiliar
with robata bars, it’s literally food on a stick. A single bite
of goodness ranging from Japanese eggplant to sea bass to
chicken and green onions, you can get full off a plate of these,
especially during Happy Hour when they’re only $1.
Hama Sushi
347 E. 2nd St., Little Tokyo (213) 680-3454
Follow CAMPUS CIRCLE on Twitter @CampusCircle
Now, Hama is fun. If you sit at the bar with the chefs, you get
to yell our your order and have it hand delivered to you. The
roast seaweed that envelops your warm sushi rice is a nice
touch, as are the hand rolls that have a nice snap to them. Red
snapper and albacore sashimi are really top notch here. Make
sure to check the board for the daily specials!
Mako Sushi
123 Astronaut E. S. Onizuka St., Ste. 307, Little Tokyo (213)
613-0083; makosushi.com
On the third floor of the Weller Court Shopping Center –
home of the popular Orochon Ramen and Curry House
– lies one of Little Tokyo’s hidden gems. The service is
exceptional, and all of the selections are simple, yet fresh
and delicious. Serving traditional omakase meals that range
in price and volume of food, Mako offers a truly Japanese
dining experience with dishes like chawanmushi and the
heavenly Scallop Grill.
Octopus Japanese Restaurant
729 7 St., Downtown (213) 402-1500; octopusrestaurant.
com
Just off Flower Street, lies Octopus. One thing I like about
this spot is the fish is served cold and with really good
accoutrements. Octopus is known for their fusion-style
specialty rolls like the H.O.T. Roll with spicy tuna, cream
cheese, and jalapenos all fried in tempura batter. I like the
Ichiban Roll – with spicy tuna and asparagus, wrapped with
tuna and shrimp – and the Mexican Roll – spicy crab, avocado
and jalapenos. It’s not traditional sushi by any means, but it’s
solid and won’t set your pocketbook on fire.
Restaurant Komasa
351 E. 2nd St., Little Tokyo (213) 680-1792
Second Street in Little Tokyo is home to at least three
amazing sushi bars, one being Komasa. This tiny restaurant
gets filled up very quickly, but the staff is really nice when
telling you how long your wait time will be and taking down
your phone number. Once you do get seated, order the uni
and yellowtail. You can cheat a little and get the beef teriyaki/
sashimi combo … it’s worth it.
Campus Circle > Culture > Food
Sugarfish
600 W. 7th St., Downtown (213) 627-3000; sugarfishsushi.
com
Downtown is home to another branch of Sugarfish by Sushi
Nozawa, so Trojans, you too can delight in the wonderful
flavors there. (See Sugarfish under UCLA for more details.)
Sushi Gen
422 E. 2nd St., Little Tokyo (213) 617-0552; sushigenla.com
Rounding out the parade of sushi on 2nd Street is Sushi
Gen, which is hands down the go-to spot for Trojans looking
for the freshest fish this side of Hollywood. I’ve never had
a bad meal here, from the Spanish mackerel to the ankimo
(monkfish liver). Make sure to try the octopus sunomono
and ask for the specials.
Sushi Go 55
333 S. Alameda St., #317, Little Tokyo (213) 687-0777;
sushigo55.com
Up on the third floor of an unassuming mall called the Little
Tokyo Marketplace lies Sushi Go 55. You’ll want to visit this
spot during Happy Hour time for a bit of a price break. If
you choose to splurge though, get the omakase, personalized
just for you! Chirashi bowl and the Kaki Fry Lunch are the
ones to try. The Kaki Fry is panko-crusted oysters over rice
– so delicious!
Wokcano
800 W. 7th St., Downtown (213) 623-2288; wokcanorestaurant.
com
Just when you thought you had to go out for your sushi, here
comes Wokcano with quick delivery! The menu is similar to
Octopus with the fusion style, and they take it up a notch
with Spicy Crabmeat Tempura rolls and striped bass sashimi
with fried garlic ponzu.
As you can see, there’s almost no end to the sushi that
abounds from the neighboring cities to UCLA and USC.
You really don’t have to travel far from your campus to get
the best!

My new favorite thing, Josie Maran’s Magic Marker Lip and
Cheekstain in Quickstep imparts just the right amount of
color. The texture – so light you don’t even know it’s there
– makes lips eminently kissable, especially for anti-makeuptype
boyfriends.
Iris butter, suede cord, atlas cedarwood and hawthorn
blossoms meld to create Keiko Mecheri’s Cuir Cordoba. This
original perfume, both androgynous and comforting, creates
the perfect scrim for those craving subtlety.
For those that like their beauty footprint light, Miller Harris’
Terre de Bois Shower Wash provides the subtlest hint of
woodland fragrance after leaving you squeaky clean. The
sophisticated packaging only adds to the allure.

PUT YOUR

FORWARD
By anGeLa MaTano
Iskander’s Parfum d’Empire, exotic enough to be surprising
yet soft enough to please most noses, makes an attractive
and thoughtful present. The scent is unusual enough to be
dedicated to Alexander the Great.
One of those mysteriously adaptable colors that flatter all,
Jane Iredale’s Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain is one in a
million. The better-than-natural color is just enough, with
a tinted moisturizer and a great mascara, to make you feel
20 Campus Circle 10.5.11 - 10.11.11
ready to face the world without overdoing it.
Almost too beautiful to break open the packet, Ortigia
Sicilia’s Bath Salts use local ingredients like, Melograno
(pomegranate) and Mandorla (almond) to exotic effect. Once
opened, the experience of a hot bath plus Sicilian Lime will
transport even the most literal minded on a virtual vacation.
Toothpaste may not present itself as the most obvious gift, but
an interesting and cool version can spice up a dull washbasin
like nobody’s business. VMV Hypoallergenics’ Essence Skin-
Saving Simple-Gentle Toothpaste has the added bonus of
serving those prone to acne and rashes around the mouth,
perfect for men and women alike.
Glamour
Beautiful hair begins with healthy hair, and sometimes a
little TLC goes a long way. EVO’s Mane Prescription Protein
Treatment makes you love your hair, no matter its ills.
Rumored to be Audrey Hepburn’s perfume of choice, Krigler’s
English Promenade 19 smells instantly of glamour and
beauty. One whiff of this delicious combination of orange
blossom, neroli, ylang-ylang, grapefruit and musk conspires
to make you feel like a million bucks.
Who doesn’t dream of a miracle mask that will transform
tired, dried out skin into plumped-up rejuvenated skin
in 15 minutes? Le Mieux’s Moisture Infusion Mask, with
cutting edge ingredients, like magnesium ascorbyl phosphate,
hyaluronic acid and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 will exceed
your expectations.
The animal print packaging let me know I was in for some
serious fabulosity, and Lip Savvy’s gloss and sparkle did not
let me down. The VooDoo Baby, a glorious color caught
between grape and raspberry, made my pucker ready for a
night on the town.
POP’s lip stain provides an understated elegance with just
the right amount of color for those who prefer their lip sans
gloppyness. The Petal Pout, a soft and juicy shade of pink,
perfectly compliments a modern, smoky eye.
Metrosexuals
The difference between a good day cream and a good night
cream for me often comes down to whether or not an SPF
is involved. Absolution’s La Crème du Soir made a believer
out of me from the first evening, as I woke up with skin that
looked refreshed and plump.
Anthony Logistics for Men, with sophisticated yet neutral
packaging transforms the shaving experience with their
terrific Shave Gel. The combination of aloe beads, slippery
elm and glycerin commands loyalty after only one use.
Dr. Singha’s Mustard Bath, butch enough for the manliest
man, uses an Indian, Ayuvedic formula to relax muscle stress
and joint soreness. Men deserve pampering as much as the
next girl, and the simple packaging promises not to embarrass.
Organic Male’s Soothing Herbal Shaving Emulsion lathers
well for smooth shaving and, as a bonus, uses coltsfoot and
comfrey to calm skin.
Combining all of your personal grooming needs into one
convenient package, Remington’s Precision Power Haircut &
Beard Trimmer eliminates expensive trips to the barber shop.
With 15 length settings, self-sharpening blades and a quick
wash system, this is the Rolls-Royce of manscaping gadgets.
Great for both sexes, Rusk’s Deep Shine Oil Advanced Marine
Therapy Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner will please
men with its simplicity and women with its wow factor. Made
with incredibly moisturizing argan oil, these products clean
and polish hair by removing build up and boosting bounce.
Perfect
Affording the spa experience without the spa is a dream come
true with Lather’s Bamboo Lemongrass Foaming Body Scrub.
The rough texture sloughs off dead skin leaving behind the
soft skin of a newborn.
Novo Solutions’ wonderful Brilliant Face Exfoliant transforms
skin without an overly harsh texture. Gentle and effective,
this scrub combats everything from debris to aged cells and is
culled from purified human umbilical serum!
Between the frequency of shaving, the pain of waxing and
the expense of laser hair removal, sometimes it feels like there
is no good option to smooth legs. Remington’s Smooth and
Silky Body Curve Epilator offer a better way to hairless limbs
and a completely affordable price.
The scalp, a sadly neglected body part, endures wear and
tear from blow dryers, goop and even too much sun. Shea
Moisture remedies this with their amazing Organic Africa
Black Soap Purification Mask. The results extend all the way
to the ends of your hair.
Posture
Just like your mother always told you, standing up straight
makes you look more confident, attractive and, of course,
tall. Some of us have trouble remembering this and the EBA
Posture Shirt serves as a comfortable and gentle reminder.
It’s shaped like a form-fitting T-shirt but with the added
feature of being a “neuro-muscular” garment. The back has
four-way stretch materials crisscrossed through the shoulder
area to force the body into an overall balance that is truly
transformative.
After a few days, I felt my body relax into a new, more
comfortable stance putting less strain on my usually sore
neck – genius!

“The Tempest” at zombie Joe’s underground is a great way to cap off a Friday night.
“Garbo’s Cuban Lover”
Now-Oct. 23 @ Macha Theatre
Celebrating its 10th year with the Macha Theatre Group, “Garbo’s Cuban Lover” opened
with a strong performance. A depiction of the life of screenwriter Mercedes de Acosta,
the play follows a story of obsession and rejection set in the grandeur of the classic
Hollywood era.
With passion and vigor, playwright Odalys Nanin provides an impressive portrayal of
the spicy and well-written Latina heroine her show calls for.
Sucking the viewer back into the golden age of cinema with the sights, sounds and
politics of big studio life in the 1940s, de Acosta’s struggle is a seemingly epic journey of
triumph, lust and heartbreak. For any who understand the sting of facing an unrequited
love, Nanin’s performance as de Acosta is one to empathize with.
Opposite Nanin is de Acosta’s fleeting love interest, the great Greta Garbo, played by
Lina Hall. Hall nails the film star’s Swedish accent as she serves to perpetually tease the
tormented protagonist.
The exchange between the two is often affectionate and often comical, but more than
anything it is a powerful attraction that comes to life on stage and stays with the audience,
even after the show has ended.
Aside from the overwhelming romance between the show’s two leads, “Garbo’s
Cuban Lover” jumps from the stage with a number of unexpected characters who serve
to move the show along. Fans of film noir will receive a surprise when meeting de Acosta’s
fast-talking MGM film producer.
But perhaps more entertaining is the use of Erin Holt, who plays Isabela, de Acosta’s
muse, as the whimsical and ferry-like prop master who gracefully rearranges set pieces,
making a show out of a task that is normally kept hidden.
With little surprises like these that add to the pre-existing intensity afforded by the
story of “Garbo’s Cuban Lover,” it seems as though for its 10th year and a row, the Macha
Theatre is on to something good.

Macha Theatre is located at 1107 N. Kings Road, West Hollywood. For more information,

“The Tempest”
Now-Oct. 28 @ Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre
It’s definitely different. “The Tempest,” now playing at Zombie Joe’s Underground Theater
in North Hollywood on Friday nights at 11 p.m., is a well-acted play.
Derived from the William Shakespeare masterpiece, this near one-hour, nointerruptions
show features love, deception, fantasy and great laughs. “The Tempest,”
directed by Denise Devin and produced by Zombie Joe himself, details a mystical fantasy
of forgiveness, redemption and freedom. But the wonderful thing about it is the vigorous
magician who was exiled to an island; this magician has plenty of tricks and puts them
to use against his enemies.
Prospero (the exiled Duke of Milan) plans to restore his daughter’s place; she is
Miranda, who falls in love with Prospero’s enemy’s son, Ferdinand (played by Wallace
Bruce). Bruce gives a true acting treat as Ferdinand, who first enters the story dancing in
an extremely comical manner.
One of the other performances that caught my eye was from Neysa Lozano, who plays
Trinculo in the story. Including her solid character and beautiful ways, Lozano delivers
a mystical aspect to “The Tempest,” which was originally written by Shakespeare in the
early 1610s. Micah Cover as Prospero is magnificent from beginning to end.
Ideally situated in the NoHo Arts District, “The Tempest” at Zombie Joe’s
Underground is the perfect way to cap off your Friday nights.

TROJANS
REGROUP,
BRUINS
SUFFER
By MaRVin VaSquez
USC: After suffering their first loss of the season, the Trojans
delivered quite the offensive performance against the visiting
Arizona Wildcats at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Now, USC
is 4-1 overall and 2-1 in Pac-12 play. Meanwhile, Arizona
dropped to 1-4 and 0-3, respectively.
Junior quarterback Matt Barkley and sophomore wide
receiver Robert Woods have led the offense for the Trojans all
season, and that continued against the Wildcats in the team’s
48-41 win. Barkley threw for a school record 468 passing
yards and four touchdowns on 32-of-39 attempts with one
interception. He connected with Woods 14 different times for
255 yards and two scores. What a duo, right?
After one quarter, the Trojans held a comfortable 17-0
edge. However, Arizona mounted a comeback when they
posted 12 points in the second quarter. What really kept the
game from reach was USC’s 10 points in that period. USC
led 27-12 at halftime, particularly because of kicker’s Andre
Heidari’s 31-yard field goal converted attempt.

By MaRVin VaSquez The Galaxy cheer after Chad Barrett’s
(right) goal.
a SCore froM Chad barrett and an oWn goal lifted the l.a.
Galaxy over visiting Real Salt Lake, 2-1, over the weekend at the Home Depot Center in
Carson with 27,000 in attendance. The victory improved the Galaxy record to 18-3-10 on
the season with a league-best 64 points. Los Angeles remains with the best mark in Major
League Soccer, while staying atop of the Western Conference.
“I thought it was a good game by two good teams. It was nice to have our team really
challenged to come from behind. They weren’t the prettiest of goals. We were aggressive.
We kept our composure. It’s obviously a really good win for our team,” Galaxy head coach
Bruce Arena says.
Off a Javier Morales assist, Real Salt Lake’s Fabián Espíndola gave the visitors the 1-0
lead in the 45th minute of play. Down by one goal, it was not until the second period
where and when the Galaxy embarked on a comeback. Fourteen minutes into the second
half (59), Barrett equalized the score. His sixth goal is second on the team. Midfielder
David Beckham received credit for his 15th assist.
“I talked to Beckham and told him that if he would send it up the field that I would
start running, and it worked out that way. He played a really nice ball into me,” Barrett
comments.
The Galaxy gained the lead and eventual game winner in the 72nd minute off an own
goal, deflected by Real Salt Lake’s Nat Borchers.
Los Angeles has three games remaining, including their season finale at home against
Chivas USA on Sunday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m.
22 Campus Circle 10.5.11 - 10.11.11
At 12:57 in the third quarter, Barkley connected with
Woods for a 28-yard touchdown pass and reception; this
made the score 34-12. Game over, correct? No. Arizona did its
best to compete until the end. With less than five minutes left
and within a span of a little over three minutes, the Wildcats
recorded two rushing touchdowns behind the efforts of
Ka’Deem Carey. After three quarters, USC led 34-27.
Barkley also got into the mix with a rushing touchdown
of his own at 14:39 in the fourth quarter after a one-yard rush
to the left of the field. The Trojans and Wildcats really did
fight until the end, as they exchanged two scores each in the
final period.
Nick Foles’ passing touchdown to Austin Hill with one
minute left was the last score the game would see. Foles
finished the match with 425 passing yards on 41-of-53
attempts, including four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Carey posted 34 rushing yards on 12 carries and two scores,
while Keola Antolin registered 87 yards on 15 carries.
For USC, Curtis McNeal’s seven rushes led to 74 yards
and one touchdown. Marc Tyler, arguably USC’s most
talented running back, collected 35 yards on 11 rushes. The
other two USC players to have receiving touchdowns were
Marqise Lee and Xavier Grimble. Lee recorded eight catches
and 144 receiving yards.
The Trojans next face the California Bears in San
Francisco on Thursday, Oct. 13, at 6 p.m.
UCLA: The Bruins suffered a 45-19 defeat against conference
foe Stanford, but UCLA could have had that game. With the
loss, UCLA is now 2-3 overall and 1-1 in conference action.
Stanford, on the other hand, improved to 4-0 and 2-0,
respectively. Currently, the Cardinal is ranked seventh in the
nation in the AP 25 while coming it at fourth in USA Today.

many things we left out there against a very good defense,”
UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel states.
On the other side of the ball, Stanford’s quarterback
Andrew Luck collected 227 passing yards and three
touchdowns. Luck also had a wonderful catch. He is the
projected No. 1 pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
“There’s about five positions the guy can play,” Stanford
head coach David Shaw confesses. “We kind of like what he
does at quarterback.”
About his catch, Luck sounds humble. “I’m sure it was
incomplete at the next level,” he says. “Glad we’re playing with
the one-foot-in rule.”
The Bruins host the visiting Washington State Cougars
on Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Rose Bowl at 7:30 p.m.
KINGS’
DOUGHTY
Glad he Can Focus
on hockey again
By LiSa DiLLMan
LoS anGeLeS TiMeS (MCT) kings’ fans are relieved Drew Doughty’s staying.
heavier in the Wallet, and lighter on the iCe ... l.a. kingS
defenseman Drew Doughty, proving again that you can be richer and thinner, was getting
reacquainted with his usual line of work in El Segundo on Friday after signing an eightyear,
$56-million contract with the organization. Before a session on the ice, Doughty
met with a handful of reporters and disclosed that he is 203 pounds, about seven pounds
under his usual playing weight. Now back to those other, well, important numbers, more
meaningful than the Kings’ 3-1 victory against the Ducks at Honda Center on Friday night.
Although Doughty is the Kings’ highest-paid player – by average annual value – teammate
Anze Kopitar will receive more in actual payments over the next five years, by design. The
first five years of Doughty’s deal are worth $33.3 million to Kopitar’s $35.6 million. The
ending might have been sweet, but the journey pretty much stunk, according to Doughty.
“I didn’t plan being back home in London [Canada] for that long,” the 21-year-old
says. “I’m not happy that I had to go through all that. But it’s done and I’m happy I’m here.
I apologize to all those who had to patiently wait for me to get here.”
Count Kings coach Terry Murray among the patient ones. “There shouldn’t be any
animosity whatsoever,” Murray says. “This is just business in pro sports today. He was
not [saying], ‘I don’t want to play.’ He wants to be an L.A King.” The Kings won’t be using
a light touch with him. “Gas pedal right to the floorboards,” Murray says. It was offered
that it sounded like a sports-car approach. “Lamborghini approach,” Murray says, smiling.

FALL TRENDS
By Dana JeonG
i knoW, i knoW, it’S barely Cool enoUgh to Walk aroUnd in
long-sleeve shirts, and definitely too soon to be talking about fur-dominated, crazily
layered fall fashion. While our fashionable friends on the other side of the continent are
rocking fall trends on their way to fabulous fashion shows, us Angelenos are still lounging
around in our cutoff denim shorts and flip-flops. But fashion is always about looking
ahead, and it’s always never too early to start planning your cold weather ensembles!
Here are some top trends from the F/W collections so that you can stock your closet with
awesome must-have pieces..
’60s Craze
Lately, the fashion world has been more
nostalgic than ever: After the flared denims
and microprints of the ’70s swept the runways,
designers shifted their attention to the ’60s, a
decade marked by mod and pop colors. Take
a look at Aquilano Rimondi, for instance.
Their entire collection was dominated by
’60s-inspired pieces, from Audrey Hepburnesque
balloon coats to midi skirts and H-line
dresses. Blumarine also paid homage to the
famed decade with their bright-colored, cleancut
ensembles. So this fall, toss those microminiskirts
to the side and revive your ladylike
vibe with modest yet tasteful items from the
’60s.
Man Up
Perhaps it’s all about the Freudian theory, but
menswear-inspired trends always find a way to
sneak into the fall season, as oversized coats,
cropped trousers or even oxfords. This year,
the designers took the basic structure of a
tuxedo jacket and spun it around according to
their own tastes to make it more wearable for
women. Some decided to take the traditional
tux collars and add them to a jacket with a more
feminine silhouette, while some took fancy of
the tail detail and applied it to a silky evening
blazer. Since primary colors are in the center
of attention, make your going-out outfit more
fun by choosing tux jackets in deep red, blue or
green, like this one by Haider Ackermann.
Colorful Fur
Every winter, after musing over countless
different ways of fur styling in glossy magazines,
I bravely march to the mall to find the “perfect
fur” and always return home empty-handed.
Maybe it’s just me, but those soft, luxurious fur
coats that seemed so elegant on models seemed
to add at least 10 years of age when I put it on. If
such was the case for you, too, then rejoice! This
fall season is filled with youthful fur items in
vivid colors. Colors range from our usual black
and white to yellow, blue, green and even pink
– yes, pink, circa Legally Blonde. If coats and
jackets are too over-the-top for you, then take
a look at vest and accessories options that can
bring a pop of character to your outfit.
