Thursday, March 13, 2003 Luminarias '03—It got hot in there! • GETTING DOWN by Luc Schuette QC Assistant Campus Life Editor

Once again it came time for Whittier College students to crawl out of their respective dormitories, scrape off the layers of all night studying residue, and go to Luminarias, this past weekend. Apparently many of us were duped once again into shelling out our hard earned work study checks and attending the dance. The dance received mixed reviews; most found it fun, although, rumor has it that many attendees thought it boring at times. One of the reasons for success was that there seemed to be less people in attendance than past years, which made it more intimate."I was surprised to see that there were so many people, I had fun," freshman Sonasha Braxton said. "It was a lot cooler than my freshman year, there was a much higher attendance and not so cliqueish with societies" said junior Bridget O'Connell adding, "I had a wonderful time at Lumies. It made my night when I saw a beautiful man in a forest green suit with a pink shirt." Sophomore Sabah Mourad, when asked about her overall impression, said: "I would say that it was dope, but the Disneyland Hotel staff was whack." This year the dance was held in the majestic hotel, and while the prospective purchase of Mickey Mouse ears brought some, Senior Cindy Harmon gets her freak on admist Sophomore Christian Sorensen gets a slap of the hoards of other sweaty dancers encouragement in a place reserved for sitting.

"The ticket prices were a might too steep for the likes of me. I'm more of a dollar night at the bowling alley kind of guy if you know what I mean,"

Sophomore Kristian Olsen others where held back by the price of a ticket. At $65 a couple the dance was not cheap by any man's standard. "The ticket prices were a might too steep for the likes of me. I'm more of a dollar night at the bowling alley kind of guy if you know what I mean," said sophomore Kristian Olsen. Many of those who were on the fence on whether or not to go were ultimately discouraged by the price. "Nobody asked me, but even if somebody did it just wasn't worth the time and effort to me, I went to Vegas and partied there instead for free," said Danielle Correa. In addition to the price for the tickets there was another eight dollars for parking at the hotels and I never even took the time to find out the price of a hotel room (for those who decided they don't fancy the drive back). "I think Sometimes dropping $60 on a dance will give you fringe benefits...like a swanky band to groove. they planned the meals better because the vegetarian dinner was very nice. However, the event itself kinda sucked because the hotels rooms got booked up so fast so we didn't get to party in the

Magic Kingdom," senior Danille Crawford said. Dinner consisted of a green salad followed by the main course of chicken with an assorted vegetable medley and ending with a dessert of fried pears and berries. After dinner the music began to change and grow, sustaining a dance atmosphere. In addition to the dance floor and DJ, Luminarias provided a makeshift casino for amusement. A bar was also provided, where those over 21 could let the alcohol persuade them into thinking that they had rhythm. The rules were lenient and cheating was rampant in the casino, but it was all in good fun, and the chips and raffle ended up seeming insignificant."the location for Lumies was awful because we don't associate Mickey Mouse with hard liquor and rooms tilled with sweaty people...although it was memorable," senior Jelina Shah said. Luminarias was more or less good wholesome fun this year, and ended with not one but two slow dances. So although the price was steep, most found that it was somewhat worthwhile.

A crank from the English Department tells you about new music by musicians you probably never listen to.

Fuzzy Warbles: Vol. 1 (Ape House) Andy Partridge

When Andy Partridge's band XTC rose from the ruins of Britain's first wave of punk in the 1970s, they stopped being herky-jerky pogoists and proved themselves to be England's (if not the world's) best

successors to The Beatles. No one spews out intelligent pop masterpieces the way (or at the rate) HELENA NEGO / QC PHOTO EDITOR Partridge does. In the 1980s, XTC stopped touring due to Partridge's crippling stage fear. In the 1990s, XTC went on strike against their label, Virgin. Thankfully, Partridge has a home studio in his backyard shed, where he churns out lush, fully orchestrated "demos." The Fuzzy Warbles series ("fuzzy warbles" were what albums were called in A Clockwork Orange) features samples from his massive canon of If you want unreleased material. These aren'tjust scraps of curios—Partridge's orts are more interesting, beautiful and catchy than 98 percent of every other musician's greatest achievements. Especially interesting on Vol. 1 are songs written then rejected for the film James and the Giant Peach. If you've never heard XTC, check out Black Sea, English Settlement and Skylarking. When you can't get enough of that stuff, save your pennies, and start buying everything in the Warbles series (twelve volumes projected). something

Demons Dance Alone (Ralph/ESD) The Residents

In my purely objective opinion, The Residents are the most important thing to happen in the history of music. Emerging from the swamps of Louisiana in the late '60s, a group of unnamed people drove to San Francisco to catch some of the hippie action, but only made it to San Mateo. They made underground movies, did interior decorating, generated graphic design, and started making some ofthe most disturbing (yet amusing) music the world has known. Their guru, N. Seneda, coached them in the Theory of Obscurity (thus they remain unknown, resisting celebrity/music reification in a perversely Pynchonesque manner), and he showed them how to make phonetic sound compositions. The result has been a catalog of music about Eskimos, the Bible, the fascism of pop music and the history of freak shows that sounds like a merger of Harry Partch, Captain Beefheart, Les Baxter, gamelan and a mechanical rabbit singing Palestrina underwater. Their latest, Demons, is actually quite tame and mellow by their standards, but ends up being a very personal and compelling album filled with portraits of lonely people reflecting on why their lives have turned out the way they have. If you're curious try Duck Stab, The Commercial Album, Eskimo, or Freak Show. Demons may be a conventional CD for The Residents, but by most other musical standards it's still a discomforting experience of Lynchian quality.
