I figured I could give up several hours of
sleep to play music to a town in slumber.
And so my brief radio career began.
My first night of training gave me the
opportunity to do voice-over work for KJHK
advertising and allowed me to explore what
seemed like an endless amount of music
from all eras of KJHKs history. I fell in love
with the Shack and its walls cluttered with
fliers and posters marking the hey-day of
80s punk and 90s indie rock. It felt like
home the kind of place I spent most of
my teenage years watching shitty bands
screaming into broken microphones.
On my first night, I made the trek to
the Shack from the dorms. I was excited
knowing that I would have complete
control over the music for the next two
hours. I quickly browsed the enormous
selection of albums while the DJ before
me finished up his set. He signed off and
then turned to me and said, Its all yours.
Indeed it was. I had the entire Shack to
myself. I quickly played through tracks
by Black Flag, Black Dice and Red House
Painters, bands you might never hear side
by side, let alone on the radio.
Check out Lindseys feature on page
8 about KJHK and its relationship to
Lawrence. Its an interesting read that
reminded me of the short time I spent at
KJHK. Its an important slice of Lawrence
culture and I am happy to have good
memories associated with it. Signing off...

My freshman year of college seems like
a lifetime ago, five years to be exact. I was
living in the dorms and becoming acquainted
with Lawrence and its culture. I immediately
noticed the local and national music scene
that dominated Massachusetts St. on the
weekends. Coming from a city where live
music was widely available, I was surprised
and intrigued that a small town could
have such a thriving interest in the arts
and also happened to be a stop on many
national tours. I was particularly fascinated
by KJHK, which played music that I loved
but never imagined hearing on the radio.
Without a car, I would often take a
leisurely stroll across campus on my way
downtown. On one of these walks, I spotted
an acquaintance and stopped to talk to him.
He was on his way to a KJHK meeting at the
Union and mentioned that he was going to
sign up for a DJ rotation slot. I decided to
tag along and see if I could do the same.
The meeting was brief and we quickly
signed our names onto the schedule. I
managed to get the coveted 3 a.m. time slot. JONATHAN HERMES | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

kansas in heat // THREE IN THE BEDROOM
a. I do not recommend i nvi ti ng a thi rd
part y i nt o a commi t t ed, monogamous
r e l a t i o n s h i p . J e a l o u s y , a n x i e t y ,
mi scommuni cati on, confusi on, hurt and
more can occur after al l owi ng a fri end
or st ranger i nt o your bedroom. I onl y
support a threesome between three (or
more) independent, single and consenting
individuals.
I dont think she wants the threesome.
If she does, she woul d wel come ei ther
gender. You will never convince her to
allow another woman in the bedroom.
Approach her again with the idea. Agree
to the male third, and gage her reaction.
If shes timid and backtracks, she never
wanted the threesome.
But she toyed with the idea, meaning
she is invested in your sexual relationship.
Why not allow another man or woman in
the bedroom in the form of pornography?

// MICHELLE MACBAIN
Q. My girlfriend and I are new to opening up our relationship and wanted some advice.
We re both cool with having other people join in sex, but only certain people. She s cool
with having a guy join us, but not a girl. I m cool with having a girl join us, but not a guy.
We re kind of stuck. I haven t been able to convince her to let me bring in a girl. What
would you do?
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student,
are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on KJHK,
90.7fm and at kjhk.org.
a. I dont think threesomes strengthen
a romanti c rel ati onshi p, but there are
exceptions. Some couples can use a third
person to jump-start the passion. My advice
to you is be patient. Try to incorporate sexual
exploration in other areas. The more she sees
how beneficial sexual variety can be, the
more open she will be to your idea.
I think most people are hesitant to try most
sexual acts that individuals consider taboo.
Over time, people will become more open to
the idea as their relationship gets stronger.
Engaging in sexual exploration is special
and intimate, because it means you trust
that person enough to try something he or
she hasnt done with anybody else. That
kind of frst can strengthen a bond between
two people. So be patient. She might not be
interested now, but she might be later.

Romance crept into the lives of Stephanie
Castor and Stefanie Petrozz at the Creepy
Coming Out Ball their freshman year at Columbia
College in Chicago. Castor had painted half her
face with random designs, and Petrozz had
dressed up with Phantom of the Opera in mind.
Castor was with friends when she spotted
Petrozz across the room.
I told my friend, Hayden, Oh my God
the frst hot girl at Columbia, Castor, Santa
Monica, Calif., junior, says. To Castors surprise,
Hayden knew Petrozz and led Castor across
the room to introduce her. Petrozz and Castor
talked for a while at the ball, but sparks began
to fy when the two unknowingly attended the
same after-party.
I had been drinking at the party before I saw
Steph, but when I realized she doesnt drink, I
stopped drinking just so I could talk to her all
night, Petrozz says.
At the end of the night, Hayden, the couples
mutual friend, convinced Castor to reveal her
poetic side to Petrozz. Castor was nervous
about Petrozzs reaction, but she knew that
performing her slam poem would show Petrozz
who she really is.
At one point, Steph straddled me on the
staircase and pulled my hair, Petrozz says. I
was impressed.
Unfortunately, the timing of their new-
found chemistry wasnt ideal; Castor planned
to move to Kansas a few months later, and
the two worried about the stress of a long-
distance relationship.
After several months apart and a couple
visits to Lawrence, Petrozz decided to shorten
the distance between them. She left Chicago
and moved in with Castor in August 2009. She
is now taking culinary classes at Johnson
County Community College and still living with
Castor.

ThaTs disgusTing // VOMITING BILE
> Dude...gross.
Waking up with a hangover is never a
pleasant experience. Your body hurts, youre
unbearably and unquenchably thirsty, and,
worst of all, your stomach feels like a violent
battlefeld.
But believe it or not, the next few hours
are actually more pleasant if youve got
some food in your stomach. Otherwise, youll
likely end up vomiting your own stomach
bile. Anyone is likely to vomit bile if they
do a great deal of vomiting, Ann Chapman,
registered dietitian at Watkins Health Center,
says.

worse than just puking up whatever late-night
munchies you may have had the evening before
your hangover. Beau Scaggs, Denver senior,
has gone through the unpleasant experience.
It was very painful, and I had stomach pains
for the next few days, he says.
For t hose who haven t had such an
experience, stomach bile is a bitter greenish
to yellowish substance that aids the digestive
process. Its definitely something you want to
keep inside you. Its never a good thing and
indicates dehydration at the least, Chapman
says.
So if you want to avoid a good look at your
own bile, make sure to eat something before
you pass out on your buddys couch. Or, better
yet, limit the number of drinks you have while
youre out at the bars. Otherwise, you could
have a morning similar to Scaggs.
The rest of the day I had a hangover that
would rival Charlie Sheens, he says. I just
had no energy whatsoever.

good for you bad for you // DIET SODA
> Sometimes its hard to tell.
For avid fans of diet soda, reading the
newspaper can sometimes be a daunting
activity. Perhaps every two weeks or so a new
study says that the artifcial sweeteners in most
diet sodas can lead to serious health issues
down the road.
Ive heard that the sweeteners are bad for
you; Ive heard that they can cause cancer or
actually make you gain weight, Katie James,
Overland Park junior and lifelong Diet Coke
addict, says. The latest such study, led by
Harvard neurologist Steven Greenberg, linked
diet soda with strokes later in life.
But dont be so fast to cut those tasty zero-
calorie drinks out of your diet, says Manhattan-
based registered dietitian Jessica Levinson.
Its completely new to see diet soda linked to
heart problems, she says. Its such a limited
finding; it hasnt been reviewed by other
researchers.
Levinson, along with other health experts,
has questioned the study because of the lack
of peer review and lack of publication in any

medical journals. She says that diet sodas
are good replacements for full-calorie drinks
in anyones diet. Based on a lot of different
studies that have been around for years and
new studies that have come out recently, I
have no problem with them; I recommend
them to my clients, Levinson says.
So all you Diet Coke enthusiasts out there,
enjoy without fear.

HEALTH
As March begins, winters grip on Lawrence
may soon be comi ng to an end. Months
couped up inside may do wonders for your
high score on Angry Birds, but they can also
have a negative effect on your skin, respiratory
system and mood. Instead of patiently waiting
for things to improve with the arrival of spring,
you can do something to improve the situation
it requires bringing a little of Mother Nature
inside with you.
Research shows how plants have physical
as well as psychological benefits for their
owner. In spite of the many benefts for owning
plants, few students have them. I dont have
any plants in my room because they usually die
when Im taking care of them, Arshia Ahmed,
Wichita freshman, says.
While houseplants may differ in size, shape
and color, they all possess the ability to
generate moisture, absorb toxins and release
negative ions as long as you remember to water
them.
Moisture Machine
Temperatures hovering near 20 F the past
few weeks have forced furnaces to work
around the clock to keep us warm. While
heat is essential to our ability to survive this
brutal winter, one adverse effect to having
heat continuously fowing through the vents is
that it removes moisture from the air, leaving
your house, apartment or dorm room feeling
dry. The air in Ellsworth is pretty stale; some
students have to use humidifiers in their
rooms, Ahmed says.
Studies have shown breathing dry air is
a potential health hazard that can lead to
respiratory ailments and dehydration because
of depleting body fluids during respiration.
In addition to respiratory concern, a dry
environment can cause skin irritation. During
winter, human skin goes into hibernation,
causing it to generate new skin cells at a lower
rate. When you turn on the heat for your house
it dries skin out even more, sometimes leading
to eczema, a medical condition in which
skin becomes inflamed and must be treated
by a physician, Shawn Allen, doctor and
assistant clinical professor for the University of
Colorados dermatology department, says.
Al though Al l en does not prescri be hi s
patients to purchase plants as a form of
treatment, he admits that any way you can add
moisture to your home or apartment during the
winter is good for the skin.
One by-product of a plants water cycle is the
emission of water vapor. This process, called
transpiration, occurs through the stomata (a
collection of openings on the underside of the
foliage), and can release between 200 to 900
mL of water vapor in a 24-hour period. B.C.
Wolverton, author of Eco-Friendly Houseplants,
found that during the winter months an Areca
palm (Chrysalidocarpus), when kept at 73 F,
could emit 900 mL of water vapor a day.
a little green can lift your spirits
During the winter months an estimated 10
to 20 percent of people suffer from a mild form
of winter blues, otherwise known as Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD). Symptoms of SAD
include depression, anxiety and loss of energy.
Ahmed admits she sometimes feels like she has
winter blues. The somberness of winter makes
me just want to crawl back into bed most
mornings, she says.
In nature, airflow friction, falling water
and plants are sources that create ions. The
negative ions formed by the falling water of
a waterfall causes a feeling of elation when
someone stands near the waterfall. When the
ions reach the bloodstream they produce a
biochemical reaction that increases serotonin
levels. Plants form negative ions through the
emission of water vapors during transpiration.
A Columbia University study conducted by
Michael Terman, a Ph.D. professor of clinical
psychol ogy, found negati ve-i on therapy
proved to be as effective against SAD as
antidepressants, such as Prozac and Zoloft,
without the side effects.
Biological Beatdown
Another benefit of owning houseplants
is their ability to remove toxins from the air
through a process called metabolic breakdown.
When a plant transpires water vapor from its
leaves, it absorbs air around the roots. The
roots use the toxins in the air as a source of
food, giving the plant energy. The leaves help
remove toxins like benzene and formaldehyde
from the atmosphere.
Research has also shown, in some cases,
the soil is capable of removing more pollutants
than the plant itself, says Craig Martin, a
University of Kansas professor who specializes
in ecological plant physiology. The research
that indicates the soil removes more pollutants
than the plant itself suggest that pollutants are
likely removed from the air by absorption, by
sticking to the outer surfaces of the plant and
by the surfaces of soil particles, Martin says.
Maybe, like Ahmed, you kill plants faster than
Hexxus, the toxic destroyer of FernGully. Maybe
your past experiences with plants have always
involved a lighter. In either case, with spring
just around the corner, now may be the time to
turn over a new leaf.
indoor plants provide natural reMedies for wellness worries
Toxin avenger: Houseplants add moisture and
remove toxins in the air. Bringing Mother Na-
ture inside also increases serotonin in your brain,
which decreases your chance of feeling seasonally
depressed.

and Ben Folds from underground obscurity
to mainstream success. Today, college radio
stations like KJHK continue to bring new and
independent music to the forefront of the
music industry, as well as create a sort of
musical archive of the culture of a particular
place and time. Indie rock outft Arcade Fire
won this years Grammy for Album of the Year.
Like many other artists, Arcade Fire got its start
on college airwaves, 90.7 included. The bands
award-winning album The Suburbs saw radio
play at KJHK last year.
I havent been excited about the Grammys
in ever, Day says with an honest chuckle.
The majority of the music industry is dominated
by four major conglomerates Sony, EMI,
Universal and Warner music groups. For an
outside entity ran by college students to exist
alongside those powerful corporations, even
defy their choices of what music is good, truly
illustrates the power of a network of passionate
people.
Day, a KU alumnus who was a DJ and
held several staff positions at KJHK, says the
freedom most college radio stations have from
corporate structure gives them the ability and
responsibility to fnd and encourage people
with a thirst to change the nature of the music
The Flaming Lips singer and songwriter, called
to personally thank the station for playing his
band and for all KJHKs support. And that was
before theyd really blown up, Cook says.
Its things like that that keep students on
the airwaves at all hours of the night, Sullivan,
Lenexa senior, says, with little compensation
other than personal fulfllment or the occasional
feedback from your local milkman or indie-rock
god.
Most college radio stations, like KJHK, are
student organizations funded by student fees
and donations, and operated primarily on
volunteered time. College radio is about having
a passion for music and building a community
around that passion, says David Day, editor
at Bostons Weekly Dig and former associate
editor at the College Music Journal. Days says
college radio inspired his passion and career
path. It fulflled a role in my life, and I know
that sounds sort of profound and silly, but its
true. Day worked at KJHK while studying at
KU in the late nineties, and has since become a
freelance writer, professional DJ, entrepreneur
and record label manager.
Its through this passion that these veiled
voices of the FM airwaves helped bring
artists such as R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Nirvana
Imagine this. The end of the spring semester
is drawing near and classes are quickly
winding down. Finals are looming darkly on
the horizon, research papers are stacking
up and stress and stimulant levels are at an

Sullivan has been up since before 4 a.m., but
not doing homework. For the past two hours,
shes been broadcasting her weekly DJ show
on KJHK 90.7.
Sullivan broadcasted Tuesday mornings 4 to
6 a.m. in the spring of 2009, in one of the early
morning time slots reserved for rookie DJs.
I always thought, Nobody is listening now,
right?
Wrong. During one of her last sets of that
semester, Sullivan got a surprising call from
the milkman. He called and told me that every
morning from 2 to 6 a.m. when he was out
delivering milk, he always listened to KJHK, and
that my show was one of his all-time favorites,
she says. It was awesome.

industry. Today, independent bands can be
heard without the need for major label support
because they can reach their fans and listeners
directly if they want to hear it.
KJHKs true role as an independent station
isnt to be a radical part of a nationwide
dissolution of the music industry as we know
it, though college radio as a collective has
the strength to seriously infuence it. The
philosophy of KJHK is to stay relevant to its
audience and be the source for programming
that cant be heard otherwise in Lawrence,
says Becky Sullivan, now the station manager
at KJHK. We strive to have programming that
our listeners truly care about, Sullivan says.
Our relationship with them and the local
scene is everything.
In his book The Culture of College Radio,
Samuel Saul writes that as a culture, college
radio refects the current climate on the
campus. Each station is as varied as the
college towns or college students they refect,
and this changes with time. This creates a
nationwide network of stations that may have
similar philosophies committed to alternative
programming, but each with their own stylistic
niche, writes Saul.

KJHK tHrougH tHe years
Before radio at KU became Your Sound
Alternative: KJHK 90.7, early broadcasts at
the University were committed to progressive,
cutting-edge content. The frst manifestation
of radio broadcasting began in 1924, though
it morphed and grew with advancements in
technology. During the 50s and 60s the radio
station operated through an AM frequency
as KUOK, which only reached to the dorms.
Programming through this period featured
rock n roll as well as jazz. Jayhawk basketball
great Wilt Chamberlain even hosted a
30-minute weekly talk show called Fliper the
Dipper in 1956.
In 1975 the station moved to the FM
airwaves and broadcasted for the frst time
as it does still today, as KJHK 90.7. Since
then, KJHK has remained committed to airing
progressive programming while catering to
the sonic desires of its audience. The station
has hosted numerous news and talk shows,
many directly catering to minority groups
on campus, especially during the civil rights
movement.
KJHK has redefned itself regularly
throughout the past 20 to 30 years, forcing the
station to constantly question its relevance to
its audience, says Tom Johnson, KJHK general
advisor.In the 80s KJHK was the source for
counterculture and alternative programming,
before the Internet, he says. Now, were just
another source out there, so its very important
that we offer something that no other station
does unique, localized programming.
The physical changes of the actual station
refect KJHKs distinctive persona just as
much as its programming. From 1975 until last
year, KJHK broadcasted from a small building
on 11th St. called the Sudler Annex, but more
commonly and endearingly known to many
DJs as The Shack. In May 2010, KJHK made
the move into the Student Union, where it has
a brand new, state-of-the-art studio on the
fourth foor. Johnson says that although the
Shack had such character and a past with
KJHK, the new studio and the visibility it will
create for the station will only help it move
forward.
Theres such a rich history with KJHK,
more than I bet most people are aware of,
says Dan Cook, who also fronts the local band
The Scriveners. The shack, with all its graffti
and the posters, was the most tangible part.
ruling tHe airwaves
KJHK isnt affliated with any media groups,
licensing groups or record companies. All its
programming decisions and relationships with
bands, venues or events are at the discretion
of its student staff. This creative freedom
allows the station to create its own voice that
speaks for its audience, which is equal parts
KU students and Lawrencians, Sullivan says.
Students are attracted to KJHK because
they have a passion for music, and if theyre
like I was, coming from Lenexa, 96.5 the Buzz
just wasnt cutting it, she says. Because the
station doesnt have to worry about profts
or corporate structure, the stations bottom
line can be artistic quality instead of money.
Kansas City station the Buzzs tagline is
The Alternative, but is owned by Entercom
Communications and licensed by big-four
group BMI. The FCC is the only entity KJHK
is required to answer to (by law), beside
University administration.
We try and produce creative content
[music, news and sports] that our audience
has a genuine interest in, instead of being just
another medium with the same regurgitated
information, and we have the freedom to do
that, Sullivan says.
Home grown
KJHK has a hand in projecting great indie
acts into the national limelight, and the airtime
it gives to such bands and artists allows KJHK
to develop relationships with them, whether
they are the Flaming Lips or Arcade Fire. But
the stations focus is on staying relevant to its
audience, Sullivan says. Its relationship with
the downtown music scene is huge for the
station, local venues and local bands, as well
as national touring acts that make stops in
Lawrence. For being a fairly small Midwestern
town, Lawrence is a hot spot for many national
acts, and I think thats because were playing
them on our station, Sullivan says.
Jackpot Saloon manager Brad Shanks says
the bar works very closely with KJHK because
the two have common goals for music
promotion, locally and nationally. KJHK plays
the music and encourages quality bands to
do shows in Lawrence, Shanks says. We
offer them a place to play, KJHK plays their
music, which helps promote our shows. Its a
mutually-benefcial relationship and its very
important to us.
The Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts
St., hosted KJHKs Farmers Ball, an annual,
local battle of the bands. This past November,
The Will Nots, who formed early in the fall of
2010, won the event. Guitarist Tyler Francis
says on top of winning and doing in-studio sets
at KJHK, the band have truly enjoyed working
alongside KJHK. Were an energetic, boogey
and soul group and the energy of a live crowd
is what we feed off of, Francis says. We love
that KJHK is involved with local music and
we want to work with them to keep live music
alive, Francis says.
Bradley Barton, Larned senior, listens
regularly to KJHK and says that the appeal of
station is its alternative content. My favorite
program is Jam Sandwich, because you really
dont hear that kind of music anywhere else,
Barton says. Its a refreshing break from the
tedious pop thats played on other stations.
I bet the milkman agrees.
Sound control: KU students like Zachary
Graham, Lawrence doctoral student, can be DJs
at KJHK and play eclectic sets of music.

Whether its for mere entertainment or actual

students is only expected to increase as more

devices like iPads. According to forecasts by
Asymco, which performs industry analysis
of mobile technology, 50 percent of the U.S.
population will own smart phones by the end of
2011. Although the allure of mobile games may
be detrimental to some students productivity,
mobile apps offer ample opportunities to
improve efficiency in a number of areas,
including academic pursuits.

Think back on your day. What were you
doing while you had a few minutes to kill
between classes? If you have a smart phone,
chances are you used a mobile application.
More than 300,000 mobile apps are available
today, resulting in an estimated 10.9 billion
downloads. According to a study conducted
by AdMob, a mobile advertising company, iPod
Touch users, for which the average user age is
23, spend about 100 minutes a day using mobile
applications.
Mobile apps are becoming more and more
of an everyday part of students lives, as
nearly half of all college kids now own a smart
phone. A study performed by Michael Hanley,
a journalism professor at Ball State University,
found that college students are the fastest
growing demographic of smart phone users.
The number of college students with a smart
phone nearly doubled in 2009 to 49 percent.
The introduction of the iPod Touch has also
had a significant impact on mobile app usage
among college students. On average, iPod

37 percent more than smart phone users.
With those numbers continuing to grow,
mobile app developers are finding ways to
make apps appealing to students. Andrew
Killen, a KU student from Lawrence majoring in
business information systems, has helped his
father, Brian, develop and design two mobile
apps, including Grocery IQ, which was on the
Apple Store Top 25 list for several weeks.
Killen says that considering the market is key
to designing a successful app. We design our
apps specifcally with college students in mind
because they are one of the demographics most
likely to use smart phones, Killen says. For the
original grocery store app, Killen and his dad
added a feature that would allow roommates
to sync their lists to avoid purchasing duplicate
items. Killen says they are currently working on
a trivia-based application, which they hope will
appeal to college students as a means of killing
time between classes.
Using apps as a means of entertainment is
exactly what drives J.P. Swanepoel, Olathe
freshman, in his decision of what apps to
download. They just waste time, Swanepoel
says. He plays three to four games on a daily
basis and he looks to the Top Ten selling apps
list on iTunes to fnd new apps.
Not all mobile apps are for fun and games.
While games rank as the top category of
frequently downloaded applications in the
United States, they are followed by news and
navigation apps. Kaylin Dillon, Lawrence senior,
uses her iPhone and iPad daily to access news
stories. She says the accessibility of apps
on her iPad has influenced how many she
downloads and uses on a regular basis.

shop for price versus size, he says, noting that
some hard drives contain as much as 1 terabyte
(thats a trillion bytes) of storage space and sell
for around $100. You will never, ever generate
that much data as an individual.
James Field, Denver graduate student, relies
on a 640-gigabyte Maxtor to protect himself
from lost fles and says research is important
when choosing an external hard drive. Ap-
proach it as a business decision, he says.
Once youve purchased a hard drive, the pro-
cess of backing up is easy, Marakas says. Youll
need to connect the drive to your computer
through a USB port. Some drives come with ad-
ditional software for automating your backups.
Then, follow the manufacturers instructions,
which are usually very straightforward. Mara-
kas says you should back up your most impor-
tant, irreplaceable fles frst.
For the ultimate in data safety, backing up of-

Disc golf, frisbee golf and frolf are various
monikers for the same sport, but here at Ku,
players of the game are known as Disc Heads.
A student organization started in the fall of
2010, Disc Heads is a growing group of casual
and serious fans of frolfng, a condensation of
Frisbee golfng. Disc Heads president Cal Patton,
Winfeld senior, says he and vice president Dan
Kubicki started the group because they love the
sport and want to increase peoples interest
in it. Disc golf is an up-and-coming sport that
people do professionally and make a living
doing, Patton says. Collegiate disc golf is
really popular on the East Coast, and were just
trying to spread the word in the Midwest.
Last November the Disc Heads took a team
of three for their frst major competition at the
Southeast Collegiate Open at Fly Boy Aviation
Disc Golf Course in Atlanta, Ga. They placed
15th out of 18 teams, but Patton says it was a
great experience to play on the longest disc
golf course in the world. The team is already
registered for the National Collegiate Disc
Golf Championship in April, and has hopes
to organize a tournament with Kansas State
university, who also has a team.
Before its winter dormancy, the group had
about 20 members. Patton hopes to recruit
more students in the spring. Short stints of
warmer weather have already garnered an
increase in disc sales at Sunfower Outdoor
and Bike, 804 Massachusetts St. Theyve
been one of our biggest sellers in the shop
for a few years now, Sara Bilhimer, a sales
associate at Sunfower, says .
Patton says the group has a handful of
serious players, but many more casual
participants who play for fun.
We encourage anyone to come and play;
just contact us if youre interested, Patton
says. One time we had an entire fraternity
join us; it was a blast.

music review // RADIOHEAD kIng Of lImbs |
2011 (sElf-RElEAsED)
> KJHKs weekly guide to sonic consumption.
A number of things come to mind within the
initial seconds of King of Limbs: the chopped
rhythms of early dubsteppers (i.e. Burial),
the scattered franticness of free jazz, the
atmospherics of Brian Eno and the ambient
soundscapes of artists like Aphex Twin and
Autechre, to name a few. Overall its a step
closer to Radioheads avant-garde sound (Kid
A, Amnesiac, Thom Yorkes The Eraser).
The opener, Bloom, is like a smoky jazz
nightclub set 100 years in the future. Tumbling
drums sweep in and out while Yorkes voice
picks up steam. Pianos, strings, horns and
subtle electronic bleeps ebb and fow on top
of a thumping, minimalistic bass line.
Feral delves further into the choppy realm
of early dubstep. Drum loops barely stay afoat
while indistinguishable mutterings blend into
distant synths. Give Up The Ghost is closer
to the Radiohead of Hail To The Thief, with a
more straightforward structure, soft acoustic
guitar and blissful background vocals. Yorkes
voice, drenched in cavernous reverb, haunts
the forefront of the track. The fnal track,
Separator, is the cathartic conclusion to a
tense and mysterious record.
King of Limbs laid-back and restrained
sound forms a stark contrast with the more
accessible, guitar-led songs of OK Computer,
Pablo Honey and The Bends. While its not
the searing Radiohead of the mid 90s, its
certainly a deeper dive into the experimental
side of the bands palette.

Vintage fare jeans, John Lennon-styled
sunglasses, thick belts and jumpsuits are siz-
zling this spring. The seventies are back, and
in a more refned way. The bell bottoms, now
known as fare jeans, are toned down a few
notches and the hoop earrings arent quite as
big. Flashes of gold sparkle on the runway and
mens crew cuts are growing into manes. This
is the seventies re-invented. The only exception
being for womens hair: voluminous, shiny hair
replaces straggly, straw-like tresses.
Luckily for Lawrence, many vintage shops
around town, including Arizona Trading Com-
pany, 736 Massachusetts St., and Wild Mans
Vintage, 939 Massachusetts St., house timeless
pieces that can date your wardrobe back forty
years.
If you want more of an updated seven-
ties look, go to American Eagle Outftters, 619
Massachusetts St. I was overwhelmed with
how seriously the store took this trend. I found
great vintage fare jeans for under $50, to-die-
for peasant tops and a foppy beach hat. The
vibe was retro chill on the beach perfect for
spring breakers wanting to make a statement at
their destinations.
Just make sure not to overdo it some
thick gold jewelry and a faux fur vest is
enough. Mixing more than two to three sev-
enties pieces screams youre living in the past
well, your parents past, anyway.
