MXPX talks about indie labels, history
MUSIC
By KELLI FADROSKI
Daily Titan Staff
Amid pop glamour and the throwback
rock ‘n’ roll monopolizing prime radio and
TV slots, the independent music scene is
thriving without marketing trickery and
million dollar budgets.
Washington punk band MXPX shed
its major label cocoon and emerged more
collected on California-based indie label,
SideOne Dummy. Panic is the perfect title
for the new album as each track explodes
with urgency.
“It seemed very appropriate for the
time,” MXPX drummer Yuri Ruley said.
“In the world right now it just seems like
all we were seeing on the news was panic
and, especially in America, it seems like
the government likes to instill panic ... so
we thought – ‘lets name it Panic.’”
Ruley, along with vocalist/bassist Mike
Herrera and guitarist Tom Wisniewski are
currently on tour spreading their message.
MXPX has been touring since the album’s
release in the spring. Taking on the summer-long Vans Warped Tour, and now this
U.S. tour, the guys aren’t going to slow
down anytime soon.
“My favorite track on the album [is]
‘Waiting for the World to End,’ because of
the melodies,” Ruley said. “It’s got a cool
vibe ... We’ve actually never performed it
live but we’ve been working on other songs
off the album ... It seems like ‘Young and
Depressed’ just gets the crowd nuts.”
Since its departure from major label
A&M, MXPX has found peace in a less
restrictive environment. The band is able
to do things its way with a label that understands what the guys want to do.
“On our first couple of records we would
literally just get in there and make the record because we just didn’t have any money or a record budget,” Ruley said. “When
we moved on to a major label it was several months in a big fancy recording studio
in Los Angeles, which was cool ... but now
we’re in a very different place and realize
that that’s not really important.”
The guys actually built their own recording studio in their hometown of Bremerton,
Wash., where they were able to capture the
exact sound they wanted.
“Basically we just fixed up the old garage and now it’s our studio,” Ruley said.
“We planned on making this record really quickly and not spending months and
months recording it so ... the panic comes
across in the recording. There was never a
loss of momentum.”
The band has been able to make music
a profitable profession for 13 years and is
thankful for its fans. After every show the
guys come out for a fan meet-and-greet.
“There was a girl on this tour that came
and saw us and said if it weren’t for us she
would have killed herself,” Ruley said.
“One fan handed me an envelope and I was
like ‘oh thanks’ and it felt like there was
money in it ... I never thought someone
would actually hand us an envelope full
of money so I put it in my bag and kinda
forgot about it and one day I pulled it out
and there was $300 in it and a note that said
‘this is the least I can do.’”
The three also truly enjoy touring. No
matter how vigorous the schedule, MXPX
is up to the challenge and prepared to play
arena gigs as well as small clubs, as long as
the guys have feel-at-home amenities.
“I bring my cell phone,” Ruley said.
“I’ve had some bills in the past that I’m
embarrassed to talk about today.”
As far as the bands advice for getting
out there and getting in tune with the indie scene, Ruley suggests “…get out of the
house and don’t watch TV.”
With months of touring still to go, the
band is slated to spend the next six months
in Europe, Japan, Canada and back to the
United States by summer. Although there
are no definite plans to start writing a new
record, the guys are content with letting
whatever happen, happen.
“I think it will become obvious to us
when we need to put out a new record,”
Ruley said. “We don’t like to let too many
years go by in between records.”
After playing the same songs over and
over again each night – does it get old playing the ever popular “Punk Rock Show?”
“The songs get new life every night,”
Ruley said. “I’m up there doing what I love
to do, even if it’s a song we’ve played a
thousand times or more and the kids are
going crazy, it’s hard to think of that as a
boring moment.”

Kevin Zegers and Felicity Huffman star Friday’s release “TransAmerica”
By MARISSA WELTMER
‘TransAmerica’
crosses genders
Daily Titan Staff
By JENNY STAR LOR
Daily Titan Staff
With a captivating aura, Felicity Huffman breezed into the
Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly
Hills looking more like Lynette
Scavo from “Desperate Housewives” than her character Bree in
The Weinstein Company and IFC
Films Dec. 2 release, “TransAmerica.”
The movie tells the story of
Bree, a conservative transsexual
about to undergo the final sexual
reassignment surgery to make her
a full woman.
Living in the slums of Los Angeles and working two jobs to pay
for surgery, Bree receives a phone
call one day from Toby (Kevin
Zegers), a jailed 17-year-old New
Yorker looking for his father.
Persuaded by her therapist to
settle her past before the final
operation, Bree hesitantly flies to
New York to bail Toby, her son,
out.
Plans falter and through a whirlwind of mishaps, the two wind up
at the home of Bree’s parents who
have shunned her because of her
new life.
During the journey, Toby realizes his admiration for Bree and tries
to offer her the only gift he thinks
he possesses – his body. Bree has
to confess the truth.
Directed by Duncan Tucker,
“TransAmerica” is a fascinating
movie that gives viewers a chance
to look at the life of a modern
American family.
“The main character is transsexual, but the film is not about
transsexuality,” Tucker said of his
first feature debut. “The idea behind the movie is about family and
what it’s like to be a misfit.”
Huffman was offered the part
before her first table read of the
then-soon-to-be-hit
“Desperate
Housewives” and recalled taking
the roll of Bree as an “intimidating
prospect.”
“I didn’t think I could pull it
off,” Huffman said in a press release.
A brilliant actress who can
transform from a woman playing
a man who is becoming a woman,
Huffman pulled off Bree with
great vigor.
She gives an amazing performance as if the roll of Bree was
created solely for her.
Zegers is also memorable as
Toby. Wanting the role from the
start, Zegers proved himself to be
more than the cute face in his best
known role as Josh Framm of the
“Air Bud” movies.
Huffman and Zegers are fantastic together. They both engage in
their roles as Bree and Toby and
are able to portray the characters
effortlessly.
“TransAmerica” will be in limited theaters Friday and will be in
wide release Dec. 23.
“Rent.” The musical is great and
the movie is better. After seeing
“Rent” on Broadway, most audience members became fans. Many
musicals are stuffy and deal with
unrealistic situations, but “Rent”
doesn’t follow that stereotype.
Although some may be skeptical about Hollywood taking the
Broadway explosion away from
its theatrical roots, director Chris
Columbus did more than a great
job. The camera angles for the
dance sequences captured every-
thing anybody would want to see
on Broadway, but couldn’t. The
cast, which was mostly the original Broadway castmembers, sing
and dance better than ever. Rosario
Dawson fit right in and made the
movie more incredible.
The brilliant songs make “Rent”
a hit for a generation dealing with
heavy topics.
The plot line is simple, but
complicated. It trails eight young
people living in New York City
who, through a series of connections, spend a year together as
friends. Faced with difficult issues,
like AIDS, poverty, death, and the
daily grind, the group develops a
strong bond.
For those who have not had the
chance to see the theatrical show,
just know you will be spoiled by
the fantastic aerial views of incredible dance sequences.
The lyrics tell the story of when
the decadence of the 1980s left
some of the generation stuck in its
pitfalls. The musical numbers are
not the happy-go-lucky ones of the
past, but are filled with depth and
heartache.
“Rent” is a great musical theater
production and the movie is evidence of just that.

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon play Cash and Carter in “Walk the Line”
Phoenix, Witherspoon “Walk the Line”
By MARISSA WELTMER
Daily Titan Staff
Johnny Cash: a legend, a songwriter, father, husband, adulterer, drug addict and a
religious man. Cash could do anything and be
whoever he wanted to be.
“Walk the Line” captures the beginning of
Cash’s life and career. The movie depicts his
childhood and his rocky relationship with his
father, his interest in music as a child, and the
departure from his home when he left for the
Air Force.
The movie is based on Cash’s autobiography and personal stories passed down to his
son John Carter-Cash, who is Johnny Cash
and June Carter’s son.
Joaquin Phoenix eerily becomes Johnny
Cash. His attitude, demeanor, guitar playing,
and even his voice are just like Cash’s own.
Before Cash and Carter died they were working with the screenwriter. Cash reportedly
specifically wanted Phoenix to play him.
Reese Witherspoon played June Carter and
brought the humor and strength that epitomized the country starlet.
The movie followed the troubled road that
brought the pair together, from buying his
first guitar to convincing his first wife to marry him, as well as his inspiration for “Folsom
Prison Blues” and living a life in front of the
public eye.
There were great expectations for the film
and it surpassed them. The most important
detail was the music. Phoenix seemed to encompass Cash’s persona and it seemed as if
legend himself might have been in the movie.
The movie helped describe the personal
troubles Cash, including his drug problems.
It delved into the personal love story of Cash
and Carter and all the passion they had for
one another.
It goes through the evolution of their relationship, including his first wife’s struggles
with his infidelity. Although it was difficult
to take positively, it seemed natural watching
Cash and Carter’s story unfold, even though
Cash had a wife and family.
The movie’s continued theme is music
and its importance in Cash’s life, with the appearances of Elvis Presley (Tyler Hilton) and
Buddy Holly (Jonathan Rice).
As the audience watches the legend’s life
unfold onscreen, Cash becomes human. He
felt despair, happiness and had pitfalls like
everyone, however fantastic his life may have
been. But the movie does hit an abrupt end
and leaves the audience wondering about the
life Johnny Cash spent with June Carter, as
well as his well publicized troubles after her
death. Despite this minor nit-pick, “Walk the
Line” is an incredible movie and one worth
seeing.

Cash (Phoenix) gained notoriety for his song “Folsom Prison Blues” even performing there.

launch new
T-shirt line
KIIS-FM morning disc jockey
and American Idol host, Ryan
Seacrest, will be introducing his
new T-Shirt line this Saturday
at South Coast Plaza. His line,
called “The R Line” is based
on the Los Angeles pop culture
scene. The event will take place
at Nordstrom’s from 12 to 2 p.m.
Check out The Buzz next week
for an interview with Seacrest
about his line and the inside
scoop on the event. – Mahsa
Khalilifar/Daily Titan Asst. Entertainment Editor
They were tough. They were
strong. They were fierce. They
were the American Gladiators!
Kids wanted to be them and
contestants wanted to beat
them. The premise of the show
was simple: Gutsy contestants
competed head-to-head against
the muscled-up gladiators.
Events ranged from the Wall,
Powerball and, of course, the
fan favorite Atlasphere, where
contestants rolled around in
over-sized hamster balls and
tried to score, while dodging
the gladiators. After competing
in a series of events, the contestants met their final challenge in
the Eliminator, a crazy obstacle
course that decided who won.
Though the events were exhilarating to watch, it was the
gladiators that made this show
such a hit. With names like Turbo, Ice and Nitro, these muscled-up challengers bordered
the line between ‘roid-raging
rivals and good-natured competitors and were extremely
likeable.
The female Gladiators were
beautiful and strong, and were
great role models for young
girls, except for Blaze (Sha-Ri
Pendleton), who was often penalized for being excessively
rough. Perhaps the best role
model was Siren (Shelley Beattie), who, despite being deaf,
was just as fierce as the rest of
the group.
Kids enjoyed the show because they could picture themselves competing in the events.
The Hang Tough contest undoubtedly spurred many chicken fights on the monkey bars at
schools across the nation.
As the show’s popularity
continued to grow, so did the
sophistication of the events.
In the beginning, events like
Powerball, where competitors attempted to dunk balls in
flimsy cylinders before being
squashed by a gladiator, ruled
the game.
In later seasons, however,
the flimsy cylinders gave way
to events like Rat Race, which
featured an upside-down maze
where competitors raced gladiators to the finish.
The show ran for many
years, but lost some of its flair
when spin-offs like “International Gladiators” and “Celebrity American Gladiators” were
introduced.
Let’s face it, seeing Dean
Cain getting slammed during
Powerball by the monstrous
Hawk (Lee Reherman) may
have been fun, but didn’t have
quite the same edge as seeing
real, athletic contestants competing.
Because the show does not
air on TV anymore, your only
hope of catching some of your
favorite Gladiator moments is if
the show is released on DVD.
Of course, fans can always
suit up in the red, white and
blue Spandex outfits and challenge their buddies in true gladiator fun.

Hip Hop Congress
showcases talent
By DIANIKA ABBOTT
Daily Titan Copy
py Editor
From graffiti Chucks to iced-out
bling, hip-hop, an artistic form of
music rooted in the heart of New
York’s inner city, has not only
transformed the art of self-expression, but has also united many
races and economic classes.
That’s why members of Cal
State Fullerton’s chapter of the
Hip Hop Congress coordinated a
show called Revival of the Fittest
in the TSU Underground Pub right
before the Thanksgiving break.
The Hip Hop Congress is an
international organization established to inspire young people to
get involved in social action, civic
service and cultural creativity.
Revival of the Fittest showcased local hip-hop group Fresh
Air, Rahman Jamaal, an open-mic
session for emcees and B-boy
battles.
Rahman Jamaal, who starred
in “The Beat,” an independent
film about a young man who must
choose between becoming a police officer or a rap artist, said hiphop has endured an evolution.
“When [hip-hop] first came
out it felt very community-based
and the vibe was very organic,”
said Jamaal, a former member of
USC’s Hip Hop Congress. “Since
then, its popularity has spread …
and the industry has really capitalized on the talent.”
Jamaal said that, through organizations like the Hip Hop Congress, he feels a shift back to hip-
hop’s original purpose of bringing
people together, sharing knowledge, good times and music.
Eric Santa Ines, CSUF Hip
Hop Congress co-chair, said the
organiztion arose in two different
states separately.
“Two guys in California started
up a group called Hip Hop Congress,” Ines said. “At the same
time there was a group in New
York who had a similar organization.
Ines said that the members of
the organization in New York
found the California groups online and decided that instead of
fighting for the name they should
join forces and the Hip Hop Congress movement took root.
While hip-hop culture has
grown from the basic elementary
form of the 1980s to today’s imaginative and diverse form, Khalil of
Fresh Air said that hip-hop is now
more lucrative.
“You have kids who parents
bumped hip-hop while they were
in the womb,” said Khalil. “They
were fully immersed in the [culture] making them better producers, d-jays and emcees.”
Ines said the CSUF Hip Hop
congress not only sponsors events
like Revival of the Fittest, they
also sponsor guest speakers, producing, d-jay and emcee workshops.
While members of the CSUF
and the surrounding community
packed into the Pub, it was apparent that hip-hop is not just a style
of music – it is a way of life.
8 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS
Celeb fashion at the AMAs
Celebs walked the red carpet at
the Shrine Auditorium for ABC’s
33rd Annual American Music
Awards on Nov. 22. As usual, the
stars dressed to impress, or not.
Celebrating their second wedding
anniversary, Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra looked stunning. Her
green and black empire waist dress
was perfect. She surely took home
the award for best cleavage.
Lindsay Lohan’s new black ‘do
and long black gown not only made
her look washed-out, but she looked
more Hot Topic than houte couture.
Black is slimming, which may explain her emaciated look. Though
not nominated for any awards, she
went head-to-head with rival Hilary
Duff for worst performance.
Looking like they just came from
playing a gig at a house party, the
All American Rejects still managed
AMA’s hip-but-dressed-up look,
though in dire need of a hairstylist.
Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and pregnant wife Shanna Moakler didn’t dress up for the occasion.
He wore a white T-shirt and cargo
shorts and with her in a smock shirt
and white jeans.
Both wearing head-to-toe black
outfits, Sheryl Crow and Lance
Armstrong looked very much in
love even cuddling once inside.
Crow’s leather-and-fur look straddled the line of being too much, but
she still managed to pull it off.
