Flip phone, Blackberry, iPhone or An-droid, here’s a playlist dedicated to that little piece of technology you love to blab-blab-blab on.

“Cellular Phone” by Jacks Man-nequinUm…the oddest, yet sweetest song ever? Possibly. With a blustery-romantic mix of infirmaries and vampires, this song turns the ordinary cell phone into the only connection between to lovers that are much more star-crossed than any plain ol’ Romeo and Juliet.

“867-5309/Jenny” by Tommy TutoneWhen this song comes on at the party, everyone sings along. Even if you only

know the chorus, sing along as loud as you can and hope that Jenny hears you.

“Video Phone” by Beyoncé ft. Lady GagaThis tune was originally released in 2008 on that sassy Sasha Fierce’s third album. You won’t be able to stop your head from bobbing awkwardly and singing aloud, “If you want me you can watch me on your video phone” all Beyoncé-style.

“I Love You, You Imbecile” by Pelle CarlbergThis Britty-acoustic tune made the list simply for one little lyric, and one lyric alone: “I love the way you talk, I love the way you stalk me with your mobile

phone.” And that’s it.

“Call Me, Beep Me (Kim Possible Theme Song)” by Christina MilanThis is possibly the most clever and catchy theme song to a Disney television show. And who could ever forget Kim Possible’s signature “beep-beep-ba-beep” text tone when the super-redhead is needed to save the day?

“Good Time” by Owl City and Carly Rae JepsenIn the second verse Jepsen drops her phone in the pool, making everyone who has ever been unlucky enough to let their phone fall into a collection of water —even into the toilet — collective-ly shudder and cry.

“Cell Phones Ringing (In The Pockets Of The Dead)” by Willie NileThis tune has a great beat and melody, but a message that is grimmer than going over your allotted talk minutes for the month. Nile sings about “believ-ers and infidels (that) are fighting in the heat, while bodies of the innocent are covered with a sheet.” This song is New York grit at its best.

“Ringtone” by Weird Al YankovichI’m not really sure of this song’s pur-pose. And I think that’s why it’s great.

It’s been 22 years since punk rock gods Green Day’s inception which begs to question: How is the group going to stay fresh after all these years?

It’s a challenge the band seems ready to embrace as they announce their master plan: Release not one, not two, but three new albums in the span of a few months.

“Uno!,” the first in the trilogy, is tailor made for not just Green Day fans, but anyone who dares to call themselves “punk rockers.” The trilogy is described in three movements: Get-ting ready for the party (Uno!), the party itself (November’s Dos!), and the cleanup (January’s Tre!). The pattern lends itself to the new album quite well.

“Nuclear Family” opens the album with a short but sweet precursor to the night out, amping up the listener with the lyric “Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round/Like a ferris wheel that’s breaking down.” “Carpe Diem” takes the now famous phrase and makes it a grand anthem destined to be rocked along to.

The album stays surpris-ingly consistent, even with the varied lyrical inspirations. “Fell For You” describes a dream girl, while “Let Yourself Go” is a song all about loving to hate someone. And then there’s the

bizarre “Kill The DJ,” which, though catchy, will raise a few eyebrows.

The band has never been the classiest act in the world, and “Uno!” is a prime example.

More experienced rockers will definitely not get a kick out of the album, and forget about parents of young rockers. But Green Day does have an audi-ence, and the band is quite passionate about them, as “Uno!” shows.

They don’t do the same thing twice, but the risks they take stay consistent with what they would do under normal circumstances.

The album closes with “Oh Love,” a simple, yet effective track with garage guitar and stellar vocals from Billie Joe Armstrong. As a whole, the al-bum is short enough to not get tired, but just long enough to leave an impression. Regardless of whether you are a longtime Green Day fan, or just a rocker looking for a good fix, “Uno!” delivers and sets the standard for the rest of the trilogy.

A Crumbs Recipe CardPotato bread

Everyone misses the comforts of home when they head to college. One thing I miss most about home is my mom’s cook-ing. To remedy

this, I made my mom’s potato bread recipe, which resulted in the fluffy and wonderful bread that I missed from home. Try it yourself. There are never too many uses for the many potatoes found in Idaho.

At this very moment, thou-sands of writers across the U.S. and the world are franticly click-ing away at their keyboards in hopes of making their word goal by Nov. 30 for National Novel Writing Month.

National Novel Writ-ing Month, better known as NaNoWriMo, is an event where creative writers work toward a set word goal in developing their very own novel through-out November.

University of Idaho creative writing students Olivia Haber-man, Brittany Kienke and Paisley Lukenbill are three friends taking on the NaNoWriMo chal-lenge.

“This will actually be my sixth year participating in NaNo,” Haberman said. “I heard about it sometime in high school and thought it sounded fun.”

Kienke said this is her first year participating in NaNoW-riMo, since her friends begged her to join in the event.

“I figured it’d be easier to do it with a group, as you get lots of support and encouragement, so I gave in to the peer pres-sure,” she said.

Lukenbill said it is liberating to write in a genre she wouldn’t normally try.

“I’m writing a mystery novel this year, which is something I would never try in my sane mind, but, fortunately, you don’t

have to be in your sane mind to be a part of NaNo,” Lukenbill said.

The three friends are going for a word goal of 50,000 words each, which is the minimum count to submit to the NaNoW-riMo website before midnight, Nov. 30.

Anyone who completes the word goal will get their novel officially verified, their name will be added to the site’s Win-ner’s Page and they will receive a winner’s certificate and web badge for their accomplishment.

Both Kienke and Haberman said the greatest challenge for the event will be holding them-selves back from the impulse to self-edit their novels during the writing process.

“I’m a major self-editor,” said Kienke. “I can spend an hour just staring at the page, stuck in the middle of a sentence, trying desperately to find the perfect word.”

Haberman said NaNoWriMo is about quantity over quality.

“If you’re writing a novel in thirty days, you have to make peace with the fact that it’s go-ing to suck,” Haberman said. “If I’m going to finish, I can’t allow myself to re-read what I’ve writ-ten or I’ll never get past how awful it is.”

Lukenbill’s biggest challenge is getting herself to sit down and just keep writing.

“I get bored and don’t want to work for days at a time,” she said. “I have to just sit down and force myself to write everyday

because meet-ing 50,000 words in one month will be difficult even if I am diligent.”

Kienke said something that has really helped her with the writ-ing process was taking the time to work on the basic plotting of her story, and she isn’t afraid to write whatever idea comes into her head.

Lukenbill said writing ridiculous things that are unnecessary for the plotline but add to the word count is a perfect technique for NaNoWriMo.

The most important thing to remember for NaNoWriMo is to have fun with the writing process, the three writers said.

“If you’re doing NaNo for the first time, don’t give up,” Haber-man said. “When you fall behind on your daily goals, it’s cool — some of the most fun I’ve had over the years is digging myself out of the deficit and back to where I’m supposed to be.”

Kienke’s advice is to breathe, shut off the self-editor and write until your fingers fall off.

“Even if the novel you turn out ends up being atrocious, it’s still good to get yourself writ-ing,” she said.

Lukenbill said NaNoWriMo is the time you can let loose with your writing.

“Take risks in your writing and try things that you wouldn’t try in any other circumstance,” she said.

A group of Moscow writers meets at the One World Cafe for write-ins to bounce around ideas and encourage each other in the process.

The NaNoWriMo website, nanowrimo.org, is a way to con-nect with other writers, check out regional word counts and

get involved in other events by NaNoWriMo.

“It’s frantic and crazy and I love it,” Haberman said.

Sunday is Veterans Day. The subjects of war and soldiers have inspired count-less works of art, including the play “Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter,” about a soldier recently home from Iraq.

“I think people should come see the play because it’s a play about going home and a play about patriotism and I feel like that its impor-tant that regardless on your stance on the war, every American is responsible for the veterans coming home,” Hilary Mos-man, who plays the role of Jenny Sutter, said.

In the play, Jenny Sutter is waiting at the airport when she meets a free spir-ited woman named Lou. Jenny is not quite ready to return home to her family — none of whom know that one of her legs was amputated, so she accompanies Lou to her home in Slab City.

The set of Slab City was complete-ly made out of recycled parts.

“The majority of the play

is set in Slab City, which is in the desert of California,” director Robert Caisley said. “It is a place for displaced people that have no homes. Their homes are constructed by whatever they can get their hands on. It’s not like a shanty town like one would suspect — some of these plac-es are highly decorated with what we would call junk.”

The play opens in an airport that is covered by an enormous flag. When the play transitions to Slab City,

massive towers containing every-thing from wine glasses to chaotic stacks of books gives character to the odd town.

Jeremy Thomp-son, who played Donald, kept his character’s hunched posture throughout the play — portraying a disability.

Additionally, Mosman moved around the stage and on and off the ground several times, all while portraying an amputee.

“I wear a brace in the show and that helps me a

lot, but for the last couple weeks I have been isolating

the entire leg,” Mosman said. “The hardest part was getting on and off the ground so many times.”

“Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter” has been in produc-tion since the beginning of the fall semester.

“Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 9-10 and at 2

p.m. Nov.11 in the Hartung Theater. Tickets for the show are free for Veterans and UI students with a Vandal Card.

Events calendarThis week’s list of arts, enter-tainment, cultural events

It’s a quiet night Thursday night in downtown Moscow, except at the top floor of CJ’s where the music starts to swing at 10 p.m. and in sec-onds the dance floor is filled with new dance partners. The energy on the floor is great as skirts swing back and forth and couples twist and turn with fluid motion. As songs change, so do the dancing couples as they swap out for different partners with differ-ent styles and grooves.

Every Thursday night, CJ’s holds a swing dance on the top dance floor. Even though CJ’s is a bar, the dance is open to all ages and anyone that wants to learn how to swing dance. CJ’s offers group swing dance lessons from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., where instructors go through different moves and rhythms to help less experi-enced dancers become more successful and confident on the dance floor. The dance starts at 10, and more experi-enced dancers take the floor.

Most dancers come from the University of Idaho and Washington State University to dance and swing. Max Thew, a student at UI and a member of the UI ballroom dance team said Pullman and Moscow have a great swing community and that these dances really bring people together.

He said these dances usu-ally contain a wide spectrum of dancing abilities, from just starting out to experienced dancers, but it gives people an avenue to get really good at swing dancing.

Hailee Davenport a student at UI said she never did swing dancing before but learned so much over the past semester by dancing with people of dif-ferent abilities and styles. She said it is a fun way to meet new people in the community and learn how to dance.

The dancers often trade off between the different styles of swing dance, known as “east coast” and “west coast” based on the type of song that is playing. East coast swing dancing is done at a

faster tempo than west coast and is usually danced to songs that swing, whereas west coast style dancing is often danced at a slower tempo and can be danced to modern pop or rock songs.

Some of the more expe-rienced dancers go into an energetic variation of west coast swing known as Lindy Hop that involves rhythmic kicks and quick hip turns which makes for an exciting dance. However, the group dance lessons usually start out with the east coast style “rock step”.

Thew said that all of the styles of dance are difficult in some way or another, but the Lindy Hop takes the most experience by far.

When asked if he had any advice to someone thinking about starting swing dancing Thew said just go for it — go to some of the lessons with your friends and stay for the dance and make a night out of it.
