By Chris Donovan

Have you ever wondered what “The Time Warp” is? Or even more so, how to do it? How about learning how to properly pop a virgin’s cherry? Have you ever heard the words “Rocky Horror” and thought that it was a horror movie? Well you can learn about all these things and more at this year’s production of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

20 Cent Fiction, the campus’ alternative theatre group on campus, will be putting on its 13th annual production of “Rocky Horror” this week. For those who are new to the show (also known as virgins) here is a little background.

First off, no, it is not a scary movie; in fact it is a musical. “Rocky Horror” centers on recently engaged couple Brad Majors and Janet Weiss. The couple is on their way to visit their old professor Dr. Everett Scott when they get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. On their journey to find a phone to get help they find their way to a nearby castle. They come to find out that they’ve arrived on a very special night where the master of the castle is about to unveil his latest creation: Rocky Horror.

The show started off as a musical that was released in London titled “The Rocky Horror Show.” The show was a huge success and loved by both critics and fans alike. Due to the success, the idea of a motion picture was proposed. Shortly after 20th Century Fox picked up the rights and produced “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” in 1975.

The motion picture was not nearly as successful as the stage show, and was considered a disaster. In an attempt to salvage the movie, Fox re-released it a few months after its initial opening as a midnight show. The later show attracted a dedicated crowd. This crowd would eventually develop a relationship with the movie by calling back at the screen, using props and dancing the famous time warp.

Eventually actors and actresses would take to the stage, mimicking the show in front of the screen. Since its re-release in 1975 “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has become the greatest cult movie of all time.

So come join in on the fun and see what the experience is all about. Show times are Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., and Saturday at midnight. Doors will open a half hour prior to show time. Ticket prices are $7 general admission, $6 staff, faculty, and alumni, and $5 with a valid college ID. If you want a real deal, come on Friday night as the SAIL Office will be sponsoring, letting all students with valid UMass passes attend for free.

‘The Terror Factor’: A slasher flick filmed in Dartmouth

By Melanie Correia

Horror movie “The Terror Factor” was filmed right here in Dartmouth by a local filmmaker and was selected for this year’s Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival.

Everyone loves a good scary movie, especially around this time of the year, you know, Halloween. Well, how about a horror story that takes place right here in Dartmouth? That’s exactly what Dartmouth native Garry Medeiros did with “The Terror Factor.”

Thirty years ago, Warren Wilcox brutally murdered his parents and now has just broken out of the mental hospital, killing everyone in his sight. But Wilcox is not the only one who the community should be afraid of.

An aspiring serial killer decides that Wilcox is not going to have all the fun himself and quickly starts upping the body count. When Wilcox arrives at his old childhood home, he finds a group of teens who picked the wrong night to party. Who will be the last man standing when the two killers finally meet? What is the Wilcox family secret?

An ‘80s-style slasher film, “The Terror Factor” is a great movie to watch with your friends. It’s a film that will make you want to laugh and jump out of your seat at the same time. With suspenseful scenes and some pretty gruesome deaths, it will definitely keep your attention.

Selected for this year’s Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival, this is Mr. Medeiros’ first film, taking him and his team almost seven years to complete after a number of set-backs. A full-time employee of Cape Cod Express (which plays an important part in the movie), this film has been an accomplishment of Medeiros’s dream of film-making, a dream he’s had since his days back at Dartmouth High.

When asked why he chose a horror movie, Medeiros stated that it was always his favorite type of film to watch. So, why not make one? His favorite scenes are when someone gets hit over the head with a shovel near the ending and a scene where one of the main female characters gets sneaked up on by one of the killers.

The next film for Garry Medeiros and Sai-con Productions will not be a horror film, but a black and white real-life sort of film. “The Terror Factor” DVD is $20 and features deleted scenes, a blooper reel, interviews and audio commentary with Garry Medeiros and actors John Sylvia and Matthew G. Hill.

You can see movie clips, a promo clip, movie stills and find further information about Sai-con Productions on www.myspace.com/saiconproduction.

UMD ‘creates concert-goers’

Free concert series spotlights wide variety of art music

By Sara Kelley

The hot air was filled with the busy hum of voices that softened to silence as the lights dimmed in the Visual and Performing Arts building auditorium on October 18. Described by concert organizer Professor William Riley as “like nothing you’ve ever experienced or will have the opportunity to experience again,” the second concert in the UMD Guest Artist Series began with the complex, playful, intertwined melodies from four unusual Asian string and percussion instruments, making up the group “IIIZ+.”

The distinctive, earthy, completely un-amplified quality of the three bridged zithers — the Korean kayagûm, Japanese koto, and Chinese zheng — plus the Korean hourglass drum was unpredictable: lively and upbeat one minute, then soft and soothing the next.

Liberal arts freshman Alison Cesar stated, “I really enjoyed the unique sounds and instruments and thought the performers were probably the most competent performers I’ve ever seen. It truly was a both amazing and powerful recital that left me very appreciative of the Asian strings type of music.”

Riley said, “One of the goals of the Guest Artist Series is to present a wide variety of art music, from classical to jazz and non-western genres. The idea is to showcase music that is outside of the ‘comfort zone’ of most students and to get them to listen actively to music they may not have even knew existed.... If we can show students the value of art music and live performance by introducing them to it first hand, then I believe we are helping to create future concert-goers and an audience that can help keep this music alive.”

In the first concert of the series, vocalist Kate McGarry sang to the flowing, gentle rhythm of the song “The Target,” written by her. The lyrics were as gentle as the rhythm as McGarry sang, “Can the target straighten the eye of the archer and strengthen his arm? Can the target will the arrow into the center of its heart? If miracles like these are possible, if miracles like these are possible…Can the ocean comfort the streams of the rivers as they journey home? Will the secret finally be told that they can’t be kept apart?” (www.katemcgarry.com).

McGarry and guitarist Keith Ganz were the first guest artists in the UMD series. The mixture of jazz, folk music, Celtic influences and improvisation was reflected in the artists’ original music as well as in their interpretations of songs across different genres. Two of the audience’s favorites were their renditions of the Cars’ “Just What I Needed” and Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”

Additional opportunities to experience varied and extremely talented artists at UMass Dartmouth are the remaining three concerts in the series: sax quartet on November 1, classical guitar on November 15, and the student honors recital on December 4. All concerts are 75 minutes long and are held on Thursdays starting at 12:30 p.m. in the Visual and Performing Arts auditorium (Room 153). Admission is free.

The concerts are open to all. Riley said, “We’re trying to reach the largest number of students possible, both music majors and students in other disciplines… [And] there are a few seats available for anyone in the campus or local community that wants to come.”

The November 1 concert promises to be just as exciting as the first two. According to their website where sample music can be heard (www.backbayquartet.com), the Back Bay Saxophone Quartet is an energetic, multitalented ensemble with influences from “both classical and modern music, as well as improvisation, jazz, and popular styles, early music and world music.”

The fourth concert will be classical guitar, performed by Riley. Samples of his music can be found on the faculty page at www.umassd.edu/cvpa/faculty/william_riley/faculty-bio-ba.cfm.

The fifth concert will be the student honors recital, performed by select UMass Dartmouth music students. “That one was a big hit last year,” Riley said.

Several students who attended the first two concerts stated that they really enjoyed them, calling them “amazing,” “intense” and “fun.” As freshman music major Taylor Kirkwood said, “[attending the concerts] makes my experience at UMass twice as enjoyable.”

“There is no substitute for hearing great music live, performed right in front of you. I compare it to the difference between hearing a baseball game on the radio and actually being in the stadium witnessing it firsthand. It might be the same event, but it’s a completely different experience,” Riley said.

For more information on the Guest Artist Series or the ongoing student recitals, please contact William Riley, 508-999-8568 or wriley@umassd.edu.

THE BEER BARON

The Beer Baron presents:How to properly taste beer

By Gary Albert

Author’s Note: Because I’m not feeling 100% this week, I’ve chosen to opt out of writing my usual review to keep them all as consistent as possible with my normal palette as well as keeping myself healthy. Instead of giving a pre-written review, I’ve chosen to highlight the proper way, in the world of beer connoisseurs, to enjoy a brew.

Beer tasting is something special. Because there are so many different types of beer and different categories, it is often not entirely possible to taste a beer in the exact way that its brewer intended.

As you may already know, beer is generally stored in three different types of containers: kegs, bottles, and cans.

Draught vs. Bottle vs. Can

Whenever you can, I would recommend trying a beer on tap (from a keg, draught, draft, whatever). If the option is available, this is generally how the brewery intended the beer to taste. Most often, beer in cans and bottles is pasteurized while beer from the keg is not. This can change the taste of a style, even from the same batch.

If you cannot obtain the beer on the tap, glass bottles are the next best option. There is often debate whether cans or bottles are better, and while cans are generally cheaper to make, the production of aluminum cans is more harmful to the environment. If a beer has been sitting on the shelf for too long in a can, it can obtain a metallic taste that can truly ruin it. It’s no wonder that most microbreweries and imports choose bottles over cans.

Freshness

Another important aspect of choosing your beer is freshness. Some beers (usually those of lower alcohol content) can go bad. The container will often have a “brewed on” date, or a “best before” date. Take these into consideration when buying your beer.

Other beers, (usually those with alcohol content of 9% or higher) age very well, actually lasting years and years, and may even taste better later on down the line.

I usually check what the brewery says about freshness and aging before buying a beer that’s been on the shelf a long time. Beer in lighter bottles (clear or green) is generally more prone to becoming “skunked” when the molecules in the beer break down, emitting skunk-like flavor and odor.

This is caused by exposure to light; so beer that has been sitting on a shelf in a well lit store is more prone to this occurring, and obviously, canned beer is immune to this effect. Skunking is not whether or not the beer has been warmed and cooled, that’s just the beer going bad.

Glassware is also important when tasting beer. It is a general rule among beer connoisseurs that beer should never be consumed directly from the container it came from. This means simply: always pour your beer.

The other general rule is that glass is better than plastic or metal. This follows from my cans vs. bottles argument above, but also stems from simple chemical properties of glass, as well as simple tradition.

If you can’t find the appropriate glass to drink a beer from, at least use a glass instead of going straight from the bottle or can.

Often the brewery will recommend the type of glass to pour each of their different selections into, and if you can do this, it would be the best way to taste the beer as it was meant to be tasted. Some breweries, like Sam Adams, even design their own glassware to use for their beer.

There are countless different types of glassware that can be used for beer. I own only four, but this is more based on my personal preference as to styles.

The standard beer glass is the pint glass. Generally, if you order a beer at a bar or restaurant, this is what you get served. I own two of these, one American pint (16 oz.) and an Imperial tulip pint (20 oz.). There also exists a “Nonic” pint glass (20 oz.) which resembles the American pint with a bulge near the top.

Nearly any type of beer can be tasted from a pint glass. The majority of my reviews are from one of these two glasses, but the more appropriate styles are American and British ales, stouts and porters.

A stein or mug can be substituted in for most of the pint glass situations, particularly Belgian and German imports.

The other more common beer specific glasses are the tall, but thin pilsner glass (8-12 oz.) and the similar, but more shaped Weizen glass (a generous 16 oz). These are both primarily used for lighter beers to emphasize their color and head. The pilsner glass focusing on mainly American style lagers (Budweiser, Miller), and the Weizen glass primarily for wheat beer (weizen is German for wheat).

The tulip glass is usually the best for the stronger beers, but high alcohol beers can also be tasted from champagne flutes, wine glasses, brandy snifters and other types of goblets, depending on their color or type. Generally the darker beers go in the larger, wider glasses, while the lighter beers belong in thinner glasses.

You should always hand wash your glassware, with a small amount of mild dish soap and let it air dry.

Pouring your beer

All beer should be poured in a similar way, although some variations can be added for unfiltered beers.

Angle the glass at a 45 degree angle while pouring, aiming for the middle of the side; you should generally keep a little distance between the glass and bottle. About halfway, tilt the glass vertical, and finish pouring the beer to inspire a head. If the beer is unfiltered, once about 2/3 of the beer has been poured into the glass, stop pouring and swirl the bottle to gather up sediment from the bottom for the final bit.

Tasting your beer

Before taking a sip or smell, simply look at the glass. Look at the color of both the liquid and the foam, its cloudiness and shade.

Swirl the beer around gently in the glass and take in the aromas, making sure to smell with an open mouth to enhance it.

Take a sip, but wait before swallowing, let the beer touch every part of your tongue, since different flavors are noticed more by different parts of the tongue. Note how it feels in your mouth, and the different types of flavors you can sense in it, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness.

Taste it again after the beer has warmed, the flavors can change as coldness can bring out different flavors than room temperature beer.

That’s it for this week. Hopefully you’ve learned a bit more about how to go about selecting and tasting beer, as I do every week. I’ll be back next week with a regular review. If you have a recommendation for a beer for me to review (anything goes), want to comment on or criticize my article, or just have questions regarding beer, send me an email at UMDBeerBaron@gmail.com

MATT'S UNKNOWN MUSIC CORNER

A band that should have been able to ‘save the world’ of music

By Matt Meylikhov

If it is not yet apparent, then let me say this: I am very opinionated when it comes to music. I do boast an incredibly large music collection, but I don’t necessarily love all of it. Sometimes, I’ll get an album and not like it, but leave it on my computer anyway. There’s a lot to sift through and I have some bad, bad music. And the other day, a song came on random and it helped me decide what I would review this week.

You see, it is inevitable that a band will break up. At times, it comes sooner than you would like. I mentioned in an earlier review how upset I was at the loss of Gatsbys American Dream, despite three new bands spawning from its wake. But, sometimes, what comes from the death of a great band is quite unfortunate.

I grew up with a lot of pop-punk. This came as an evolution from radio rock because, for a while, my only source of music was a walkman that I could buy and listen to tapes and the radio.

Without the Internet at my disposal for a long time, the only way I heard new music was by scanning the radio. Pop-punk always resonated with me. And once you get started with one band, you can find recommendations through liner notes and friends about other bands. Music was, and always is, an exploratory art. I guess the best way to describe my music journey is like Dora the Explorer on musical crack: “Can you find the next big thing? That’s right! It was in the corner!”

So my earlier years were made up of a lot of what everyone listened to, like Green Day, Blink-182, Sum 41, New Found Glory and then a few “unknowns” like Saves The Day, Piebald and The Get Up Kids. But there’s one band that really should have been known by more. And the unfortunate truth of the matter is that now that they’ve broken up, the ex-front man has proceeded to butcher a lot of what I believed in about this band.

So forgive me as I become preachy for a moment. Ever hear of Cobra Starship? Yeah, you have, from “Snakes On A Plane.” See, music goes through popular stages. There’s always a certain type that really sells. And right now, it’s that dance-y, rock-y stuff.

I’m sorry if you like Cobra Starship, but Gabe Saporta, the front-man, is probably one of the worst people in the underground scenes today as he is self-centered and an attention seeker. I hate the fact that I am saying this, but before Cobra Starship, Gabe Saporta was the front-man of a band called Midtown. Ever hear of them? If you haven’t, you missed out.

So before I go into a long detailed rant about how much I don’t like Gabe Saporta, I want to talk about Midtown.

Formed in 1998 and lasting until about 2004-2005, Midtown was a staple in my pop-punk growth into music. The great thing about Midtown was that while they were pop-punk, they weren’t pop-punk in the sense that all the stereotypical pop-punk bands were pop-punk. These guys could really play their instruments.

Heath Saraceno (who now plays lead guitar in Senses Fail) really knew his way around his instrument in the way that Dave Baksh (former member of Sum 41) did, along with the other guitarist, Tyler Rann (who is now in the band House Of Thieves). Rob Hitt as a drummer could play more than the simple “one two hit” beats. And then, of course, there was Gabe as the lead singer and bass player, although the band did trade off vocalists at times, which was another unique element for them.

And Midtown still kept the fun in the band. Their first video featured the band performing what should have been an absolutely break out single, “Just Rock & Roll,” at a Bar Mitzvah, rocking out with the Hassidim and a stripper.

How “Just Rock & Roll” did not land them on the charts with the links of Blink and Green Day, I will never know. I guess their label was to blame, since they spent most of their time pushing A New Found Glory into the mainstream.

But the song (which starts with a great “God, I wish I could hate you for the rest of my — !” and then bam, guitars and drums) had everything a stereotypical pop-punk single would have.

Their first CD, “Save The World, Lose The Girl,” is such an untouchable CD. It’s raw, it’s lively and it’s full of energy and spirit. But no one knew it! Two years after their first release, Midtown came back with “Living Well is the Best Revenge,” which was a bit more polished and clean sounding, but it was still them.

Sometimes, a band will get full of themselves (Cobra Starship, anyone?) and try too hard to evolve their sound on a second release in order to appeal to a larger audience. While this is technically a good marketing tactic, as a musician, I feel working for the mainstream loses some credibility. It’s a completely separate thing to make music for the love of music, and then make music for the sake of being famous.

Midtown, while they did increase their sound a bit, it’s a clear transition that it’s for the band and not the media attention. This CD came at such a great time, too, and the song “Like a Movie” consisted of appealing lyrics like, “She tries to erase, she tries to replace how it feels but I know she can never go home.”

See, one of the awesome things about Midtown was that while Blink-182 was singing about poop and being a teenager (even though they were all in their 20s), Midtown was just singing songs about being alive and problems that almost everyone has. While that made them awesome to me, that would be one of the reasons they were ignored.

2 years after that, they put out their final record. A lot of drama and dark stories go into the creation of this record, which eventually led to the demise of Midtown. However, “Forget What You Know” still rings true as a great record. It did not sell well, and the band eventually split apart due to Gabe losing his mind (and then starting the Cobra thing). If that record was released today, it would probably be hailed as an excellent step by Midtown.

After two releases that were well received, but well received by a small niche audience, Midtown called it quits. I look at Midtown as a great team effort that didn’t last long enough to shine.

So what else can I say? I could really rant about the situation of what this band has become, but I’d rather not waste my breath. So instead, I’ll just say go listen to Midtown, who deserves your time as well. Just put the paper down, get 10 bucks out of your bank account and pick up “Forget What You Know.” It’s easily their most accessible release, which should be part of your CD collection. It’s a polished, great CD that was just released at the wrong time.

I think there should never be a Midtown reunion. There is a lot of talk about it amongst fans, but seeing the person Gabe became, a reunion now would just not feel right. It’s the same situation with Blink-182 and what came out of that.

So Midtown wasn’t a big band. It was still a great band, loved by many, and I’m not the only one who considers it an untouchable staple as far as “scene” bands go. The fact that I’ll never get a new Midtown album depresses me to a certain degree. If a Midtown reunion actually happened, I would go. Ha. But that’s beside the point.

Just go listen to Midtown. http://myspace.com/midtown.

Next week, I’m going to come at you at literally all angles. I’ve gotten a bunch of good e-mail recommendations, so I’m going to take some time out of my regularly scheduled programming to combine a lot of small reviews into one big article and give you all the chance to branch out with tons of different genres and experience even more bands before returning to what I normally do.

So, as always, feel free to send me an e-mail (mmeylikhov@umassd.edu) with any band you feel is not talked about enough and a place for me to listen, and I’ll consider them for next week’s “Band-A-Palooza” extravaganza, and future articles.

INDEPENDENT GAMER

‘Gunz’ has swords, too

By Brett McCabe

Remember when coach used to tell you “there’s no ‘I’ in team” before making you do his yard work? Well according to Korean game developing company MAIET Entertainment there is an “I.” Spelling “TEAM” backwards and adding an “I” for innovation, MAIET started out as a small group of five programmers, which in time, turned into a real company

I first got into “Gunz: The Duel” two years ago. It was in beta form, but I was hooked. I figured it was eventually going to be released to be sold once finished. Well, I was wrong and I am back on it like a drug relapse.

The genre of “Gunz” falls under difficult to describe. While it is a third person shooter, there is emphasis on leveling up, similar to RPGs. As you gain “bounty” for “fragging” opponents, you can upgrade your armor and arsenal.

As a third person shooter, you’d expect it to be another console covert ops game. Instead of sneaking around, you run along walls, you constantly dodge while still shooting, and when you’ve run out of ammo, you can draw your sword. Yes, a SWORD. While you unfortunately can’t hack people up, it does more damage to your opponent as many melee weapons do in shooters.

Though it plays like a first person shooter, mastering all the moves is no easy task. I still don’t understand how they do it when I see other people climb up walls using their sword. I didn’t even realize there was a blocking button.

You can perform combos by executing moves while dashing or changing weapons. My favorite is to knock people up in the sky with my sword, then after the fall, finish ’em off with my submachine guns.

The newest element to the game is the addition of quests. Quests are co-operative missions where you are locked in a small space and hordes of monsters come at you. This adds a lot more playability to this game, keeping it from becoming redundant.

How is this free, online game going to survive in today’s capitalist environment? That’s a great question and I’m glad you asked that. IJJI (pronounced “EE-gee”), the company that hosts the North American version of “Gunz,” charges money for “premium” items. Now, since I’m not a fan of buying something I can’t touch, they won’t be getting a cent from me and neither will iTunes. Same goes for strippers.

“Gunz” includes a great way to keep players from unfair play. Players of higher experience levels who think it is fun to pick on the “n00bs” will be disciplined by losing experience points every time a player at least seven levels below them defeats them in combat. This is something major online RPGs should consider implementing.

Unlike MMORPGs, Gunz isn’t going to take over your life. You can sit down, blast through a couple rounds then log off and go back to your normal life of homework and pretending you enjoy the Red Sox.

ASK MISS CHERRY

Playing with porn and covering hickeys

By Miss Cherry

Dear Miss Cherry,

Watching pornography is very sexually stimulating for me and I want to take it to the next level. I normally watch it alone while masturbating, but I want to pop in a video during sex with my girl. Is this normal?

– Mr. Video Freak

Dear Mr. Video Freak,

Watching pornography during sex is perfectly normal. Every individual gets turned on in different ways. Introducing porno to intercourse will shake things up and possibly heighten your sexual experience.

Many couples find watching others engage in sex actually intensifies their own sex. Some also use the videos as a guide and play out what is happening in the film.

But before you introduce a porno movie into your next sex session, talk to your partner about it first. She may be perfectly okay with the idea or she may have reservations about it.

Take a trip to an adult novelty store and pick out one together. What works for men doesn’t necessarily work for women. You may want to select porn with more intimate and romantic scenes that include kissing.

Also remember that when you incorporate a porn video with your sexual routine, it should be kept as an extra toy or addition, not as the sole focus. You don’t have to watch it the whole time, but you may choose to keep it as background noise. Just remember to keep your focus on your partner so she knows you are having the sexual experience with her and not the DVD player.

Dear Miss Cherry,

Are there any proven ways to get rid of hickeys? – Branded

Dear Branded,

A hickey, given by a partner excessively sucking on another’s neck, is basically a bruise. There are no tested and proven ways to diminish the hickey faster than your body would. On average, it takes up to a week for bruises to vanish. There are myths to get rid of hickeys such as dispersing the blood by combing the area with a hairbrush or comb or massaging the area with a round-tipped object like a pen cap. These methods have not been proven to work at all and will cause you more pain than anything.

The best thing you can do with hickeys is cover them up. Wearing collared shirts, turtlenecks, hooded sweatshirts and scarves will help cover them up. This method is easy to get away with at this time of year since the cold season is coming on.

Yet, another way to conceal the neck bruise is using makeup. If all else fails, use the age-old excuse of getting into a fight with the vacuum hose.
