Why not a Baskin Rob- bins-type place? If nothing else, the Fresno State ice cream should be sold to students right here on campus. It doesn’t have to be in the USU, it could be in a truck like Bulldog Bites, or they could build a small walk-up shack like you would traditionally find for a snow cone or mini cof- fee shop. Business would be through the roof, espe- cially in these hot summer months. We know there isn’t much weather to be had in the Central Valley, and it can feel like it’s sum- mer 6-9 months a year. So even if we pretend students wouldn’t buy ice cream in the win- ter, which they would, the other months are so hot that the ice cream shop would sell out all the time. It seems like an easy business idea to make a lot of money. “Make ice cream avail- able to students in hot areas.” Done. Where can we deposit the million dollars? Fresno State President Joseph Castro said he wants to put in a Mexican restaurant to replace Chick-fil-A, and that’s a great idea. But Dr. Castro, the students need ice cream. I bet every decision that’s made about what the campus needs occurs in an air-condi- tioned office. Please, step outside for a while and then discuss what the students really need. We will thank you for it.

Renowned bassist Mike Watt’s band Il Songo Del Marinaio and LITE hit up local music venue in Downtown Fresno

By Colby Tibbet @robotmilk

rolific punk rocker Mike Watt played to an intimate crowd Mon- Pday night with his new group Il Songo del Marinaio, at Strummer’s in the Tower District. Opening the night was the Japanese math rock outfit LITE. LITE, which is considered one of the top instrumental bands in Japan, is a frantic, technically impressive four some from To- kyo. They play upbeat, melodic math rock, a genre known for offbeat time signatures, technical finesse and angular guitar riffs. This wasn’t their first time touring the U.S., but it was their first time in Fresno. Guitarists Nobuyuki Takeda and Kozo Kusumoto, complemented each other well, with Takeda often taking the lead, while Kusumoto added layers and sometimes keys to the melody. Bassist Jun Izawa is a wild, sporactic bass player, often carrying the main riff and melody throughout the majority of the songs. Drummer Akinori Yamamoto supports Izawa, an almost Neil Peart caliber of mu- sicianship. His minimalist style kept all of the flailing riffs intact, otherwise they would quickly fall into the category of sim- ply being a “jam band.” “I’ve been waiting to see them for years, and there is something especially gratifying Photo by Logan Downing • The Collegian about seeing a band from another country Tokyo based band, LITE, opened for Il Songo Del Marinaio at Strummer’s on Monday night.
