Message from the Editors

This edition marks the halfway point of this years Leaky Bugle (and almost

the halfway point of the semester, which means were sure most of you are

having fun with midterms and projects right now). We hope to make the sec-

ond half as good as the rst half was, so make sure and help us out by submit-

ting! You dont need to study for midterms. You need to write an article for the

Leaky Bugle.

In all seriousness, though, good luck with all of your academic pursuits, espe-

cially if theres anyone else who made the stupid decision of taking the GRE

during midterm season like Chelsea will be doing next Saturday.

4/16

Since my Meet the Band, Ive had several people ask me how to beatbox. Seemingly unsatised with myanswer, imitate drum sounds with your mouth, I was then asked to explain more in-depth how to do so.

There are a couple of stumbles beginner beatboxers often hit, so Ill go over those rst. Number one is timeand meter. There are a lot of beatboxers out there who have great sounds and theyre fast and they can do allkinds of melodies and sing and stuff while they beatbox, but they lapse in and out of time. This, as you may ex-

pect, sounds patently awful. Id rather hear a beatboxer with three sounds that can do her beats in time than one

who has a million but speeds up and slows down. (This is true for music in general!)

The second one is trying to do too much. You hear crazy beatboxers on YouTube or whatever doing a million

billion sounds and all kinds of complex routines and you get jealous. I totally understand. I wish I were as goodas they are. The way to get there is not to jump in the deep end. You have to start with the basics.

That said, here are the basics. There are three of them.

1. Kick drum (b) - The kick drum is the most fundamental element of beatboxing. Its the basic sound that youprobably know as the bass drum on a drum set (makes since, since you play it with your foot.) To make this

sound, say Beat the Oregon State University Beavers Soundly. Now just say the rst B sound. You want

JUST the attack, none of the vowel sound that comes after it. You now have the fundamental sound for the kick

drum. Most beatboxers then add an f or a v afterwards to give the drum some depth (making a bf or a

bv sound). This is generally the sound you want to make on the downbeat.

2. Snare drum (p) - The snare drum is the trickiest of the basic sounds to get right. Say Pride of Arizona,now just make the rst P sound, just like the kick drum. Youll notice they sound very similar, the P is just a

little shorter and higher on your lips. The way to get them to sound different is to add an s or sh sound

after the P sound. Make sure to keep your sh sound high pitched, like youre trying to get someone to shut up.

This one takes a little time to get sounding right, so practice is helpful.

3. Hi-hat (ts) - Say Go Cats! Now just say the last sounds, ts. Thats your basic hi-hat sound. Keep it shortand and high-pitched. This one is particularly useful for throwing in when you dont know what else to do in

a beat, since many drum beats have hi-hat sounds on every eighth note. It doesnt ever sound like it doesnt

belong.

Now, what to do? Well, experiment with throwing these three sounds together. The BEST way to gure out

what order they go in is to listen to songs. Dont limit yourself to music you normally listen to. Listen to jazz,

hip-hop, rock, rap, and techno, and using these three sounds, try to imitate the beats going on behind the songs.

There are a lot of videos of beatboxers online, so going there and listening to what they do is often helpful.

Keep in mind that they often use a microphone (and a better one than the silly little long-ranger mic) which

makes pretty much any beatboxer sound better, so dont be discouraged! Theyve also probably been beatbox-

ing an awfully long time, comparatively. Practice equal improvement!

Ill be back next edition of the Leaky Bugle with more advanced techniques and tips.

More Love By, Nathan Love

This week were bringing you a blast-from-the-past as we provide you a segment of an old Leaky

Bugle. Bugle readers have long been able to enjoy clever and entertaining comics with plenty of

band-geekiness to satisfy them, but there have been several comics that have stood out from the

rest. The following comic is one of those. This comic is from the September 8, 1993 issue anddepicts Professor Rees when he was still a TA.

The Lyrics:

Stay away from me

Build a fortress and shield your beliefs

Touch the divine

As we fall in line

Can I believe

When I dont trust

All your theories turn to dustI choose to hide

From the All Seeing Eye

Destroy this city of delusion

And break these walls down

And I will avenge

And justify my reasons

With your blood

You will not rest

Or settle for less

Until you guzzle and squander whats left

Do not deny

That you live and let die

Destroy this city of delusion

And break these walls down

And I will avenge

And justify my reasons

With your blood

BEHIND THE BAND-

Interpretations of City of Delusion

By Tiffany McCall

Online General Consensus:US Government and our reasons for joining the war.

Bellamys Atheism and opinion of religion.

Muse says: The song has the same lyrical theme as Assassin, in which an individual is prepared to commitbrutal acts to get their news and opinions noticed by corrupt power. Matt Bellamy specifically describes the

tone of Assassin as kind of a take a gun out and kill someone. Bellamys profound choice of words is just as

awe-inspiring as ever. Somehow I feel like writing songs about sunshine and unicorns just arent his style.

Stupid interpretations of the week:dawntreader says:

Actually, fairies could make just as much sense. They are castles in the air; mere fantasy.

Its difficult to imagine what this song might be about without knowing much about the band and/or their

views, but like other songs appear to be perhaps its politically themed, or similarly, perhaps it is regarding

religion. But the idea of religion might be a ridiculous interpretation, especially because the words belief anddivine are used, among some of the other terminology that hints at some kind of authoritative control. They

could be metaphorical for something else.

Tiffs Response: In reference to your confusion of the word theories for fairies really? Also, how isdoes the use of the words belief and divine make religion a ridiculous interpretation. I find the contrast-

ing argument between religion and fantasy that Fairy Boy here suggests to be both amusing and appropri-

ate coming from somebody who has picked their screen name with a reference to a CS Lewis book (famous

Christian fiction/fantasy writer for the people who grew up under a rock), then again, maybe I shouldnt be

surprised

9/16

Tiffs Response: Funny story- I had to do some research on what was implied by EUA and just have to askwhy you would respond in English and drop a Spanish acronym in reference to American immigration issues

(EUA in Spanish is expanded to Estados Unidos da Amrica, aka USA). That aside, immigration in Muses

lyrics, again? Not only is it hard to get Americans to care about immigration, I find it harder to believe that

a band from UK would care enough to write a song such as City of Delusion about it. Unfortunately, I find it

hard to take too many of Muses lyrics as literally as breaking down the walls between Mexico and America.

What this may mean to us: You will not rest/orsettle for less.

How many times have we heard that good is not good

enough and that spectacular and excellence are the only

standards we accept. Fellow band members-Id like to pro-

pose the reoccurrence of it (for those of you whose eyes

glaze over everytime you see a block of text including Leaky

Bugle articles Im referring to the it in Time is Running

Out).

Again, I must ask you-why are you here? Most of our perfor-

mances are in front of more than 8,000 drunk ZonaZoo fans

who would probably clap and sing along even if we performed

another Journey show written by ASU. To them, were just

entertainment- if we were to live up to their expectations,

wouldnt good really be good enough? The point is, we arewho we choose to believe in, if we need to break down the

ridiculous expectations that they have built for us, so be it.

We define ourselves.

Manel says:

In my interpretation of this lyric, or part of it, is aboutthe illegal immigration problems that the EUA and

Europe face. The first verses fit well into this interpreta-

tion, as well as the music, in the case of the Mexican

immigration in the EUA.

The walls are real in the Mexico-EUA frontier.

But who knows? This is just my contribution

Miscellaneous Fun

Color Theory By Monique Murietta

Oregon State-Orange and Black: Weve already gone over black. Itsjust a black hole of suck, not the cool supermassive kind. Not toomany people like orange. Its like that one person in your section whonever shuts up. Psychologically it provokes hostility, probablybecause its so hot and stands out brighter than yellow. I dont see

my fellow artists use straight out the tube orange that often. Idont, and my last two paintings have had re in them. Its anannoying color. And black+orange=Halloween so I cant take thatcombination seriously.

Also, World Cup anyone? La Roja vs Oranje?

We win. Im guessing by more than 1-0.

Leaky Bugle: How did you ask Wendy out??

Rees: I meet Wendy in the summer of 1989 while I was working in LA as a waiter as a starving/

struggling musician. In order to earn some extra money I picked up so lunch shifts at a restaurant

and Wendy was just an acquaintance at the time she had been already working in the music indus-

try for several years. One day she comes in to the restaurant and tells me about how some lawyer

was hitting on her, she told me that she didnt usually date the stuffed shirts kind of guys that

carried briefcases, she said that she usually dated the starving, struggling, poetic musicians. So

I asked her if she would like to add one more the list and she looked at me and said You? and I

said yeah and thats how I asked her out. Our 1st date was just dinner but for our 2nd date we went

to watch a jazz bass player at a jazz club that I later found was a UA graduate.

Leaky Bulge Insider #2: How to ask out Wendy Rees??

Be a struggling, poetic musician

Or ask her out before Rees did in 1989sad thing is half of us in band werent even born

yetscary

Leaky Bugle: In light of family weekend what would you say was one of your worst parenting

moments?

Rees: When I think of bad parenting this event always comes to my mind first. It was when Evanwas very young probably around 3 and we were throwing the football around. The football was

one of those nerf balls that whistle if you threw it hard enough. Evan really wanted to hear the

football whistle so I decided to chuck it at the garage because I decided I couldnt throw it at Evan.

Wellthe ball got away from me and it flew up onto the roof and I instinctively said Oh s#*!. For

the next three days Evan just walked around saying Oh s#*!.

Leaky Bugle Insider #3: How to be a good parent

Remember little children soak things up like a sponge and they get in the habit of repeating

whatever is saidso dont say Oh s#*! in front of them

Meet the DirectorInterview by Rachel BenneLeaky Bugle: How and when would you say you became addicted to

Licorice and how has it affected your life??

Rees: I always liked licorice ever since I was a kid, it was kind of a treat

when my mom gave it too me but then after a while it wasnt something I

went out and bought. But one day during practice I made a joke that if you

wanted to appease the gods you should bring them licorice. One dayafter that comment there was a bag of licorice on the white board of the

tower, and it was funny because I was angry with the bandI was yelling,

saying you suck and you guys just need tobut I stopped mid sentence

cause as I was climbing up the tower I spotted the licorice, so in mid-yell I

said over the loud speakerohhhh licorice, cool lets try this again and the

entire band erupts in laughter. Ever since that moment it has taken a life of

its own

Leaky Bugle Insider #1: If you really want to appease the Gods

Dont buy him Pull N Peel

He prefers Twizzlers over Red Vines

He enjoys gourmet black licorice from Trader Joes

Leaky Bugle: Someone told me that you match your pencil with your outt, is that true?

AJ: It is a stylistic choice. When I was in college I would like to do certain things that separated me

from the group and this is just one way he can be different. So every morning I grab a pencil thatmatches my shirt. (Note: Day of the interview AJ was wearing a navy blue shirt and sure enough hehad a navy blue pencil)

Leaky Bugle Insider: Pencil Selection Look for pencil packs with a variety of colors Understand that it is difcult to match pencils with white shirts

Leaky Bugle: How did you decide to come to the U of A?

AJ: I worked at a music camp during the summer in Michigan and I met the U of A trombone per-formance teacher and he expressed interest in the way I played so he asked me to audition. I camedown auditioned got a spot as a graduate student in trombone performance. Rees had an open TAposition and together we decided that the marching band would be a good t for me.

Leaky Bugle: What has been your favorite part of the Pride experience?

AJ: Wow that is a loaded question, but I truly think my favorite part is being on the red box andwatching individuals between sets because that is where you see all the fun and inside jokes.

Leaky Bugle: Do you have a funny story you would like to share?

AJ: A while ago I worked at a six ags amusement park in NY and on one of my off days four of myfriends and I went there to hang out and we got the VIP treatment. One of the best rides is this giantwater slide where you can either seat 4 adults or 5 children. But we decided we were going to con-vince the girl working the ride to let all 5 of us on the ride at one time (I askedthere was no irtingwith the girl because she was a little bit too young). Well because there were 5 adults guys on thisslide we were picking up some extra speed due to the added weight and as the turns/curves werecoming up we started ying over the walls. At one point one of his friends ew off the raft into airand fell on the other side of the slide! but there were no injuries- just awesomeness.

Leaky Bugle: What do you think is the best album of all time?

AJ: Michael Jacksons Thriller
