Show NORTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS Thursday, July 5, 2007 Page 14 DulceSky concert turns out tedious Connie Wagner ',' :-:( i VjV MAIt The iXilccSky concert at the Vclour in lYovo on June 2H was. . well, to sum it up, it you duln't show up you really re-ally didn't miss out, unless, of course, you are the kind of person who enjoys near-dead performers and past -dead audiences. Although prior to the concert con-cert I had downloaded a few DulceSky songs and enjoyed them, the music I heard at the concert was not only completely different but also completely tedious. Imagine a small, dark room, lit by variously colored spotlights, filled with smoke from a smoke machine. Now imagine screaming to your neighbor and not being able to hear yourself because the speakers in the room are so loud your entire skeletal system sys-tem aches. The outrageous sound volume is to be expected at a rock concert, but not for an indie music group. Instead of the mellow, contemplative mood created by DulteSky's tracks, the room was so filled up with sound I could barely breathe, let alone ponder. Plus, the three-man group seemed not to realize they had an audience, except perhaps the drummer. He was the lively one in the background, when the two front men hardly looked up from their guitars, and hardly moved from their original places on the stage. I was honestly more visually visu-ally entertained by the mysterious mys-terious artwork on the wall beside the stage ... something with aliens or slugs with goatees goa-tees who were smoking. Seeing the band "perform" felt more like walking in on them rehearsing, and feeling very unwanted. In fact, of the 30 or so audience audi-ence members, the man who was most into it, which, in this case, was the guy actually actu-ally nodding his head to the rhythm, was the guy who mysteriously kept going to the bathroom. Draw your own conclusions on that one, ladies and gents. The music also seemed to be all ... exactly ... the same. However, just to be fair, it could have felt this way because my bones were near-seizure near-seizure from the blow-me-away, literally, bass. The lead singer offered no sort of transition into each new song, or offer any sort of background information on a song's inspiration. Seeing DulceSky live provided nothing more than listening to their music online provides. Perhaps all of this would have been tolerable the dead performers, the too-loud music, the corny and insufficient insuffi-cient lighting had one been able to understand the lyrics. Nope. Couldn't even throw us that bone. All the singer accomplished was adding his unintelligible moans to the chaotic music. Perfect. So, to simplify your search for good music and good night life: spend the $10 to buy the DulceSky CD. Don't spend your $5 to see them perform. Editor: I am a resident of Fairfield. I travel quite a bit to town and see the destruction of our beautiful valley by those who have money and a desire to buy up all the available land brief ! I Jack Christianson to lead newly created department In April, Utah Valley State College President William A. Sederburg unveiled a plan now known as the Communities Com-munities of Engaged Learners Initiative for the institution to become more engaged in the community as it transitions transi-tions to university status. Sederburg today announced that Jack R. Christianson has accepted an offer to become the Executive Director of just to squander the assets for greed. I do believe that some of the American people can be the worst when it comes to trash. They trash our highways, high-ways, our fields, our front yards, and our prairies. They throw trash everywhere with no compunction of retribution from anyone. The term "greed" as applied here is meant to address those who would destroy our won- Communities of Engaged Learning at UVSC. As executive director, Christianson will collaborate with UVSC's academic community com-munity to help create opportunities op-portunities for service and engagement within the region. He will report directly to the president, but collaborate and coordinate with the divisions 'of both academic and student affairs. "The Communities of Engaged En-gaged Learners Initiative will accomplish real learning not just book learning, but learning by doing," Christianson Chris-tianson said. "Therefore, the student can then become the teacher, and the teacher always al-ways learns most. I'm not sure derful country. I believe whole heartedly that when someone destroys any part of our country, coun-try, that person should be put on a ship and set afloat never to return to any shore, especially espe-cially the gold ol' USA. Some who read this response re-sponse may be offended. If so, great; get your ducks in order and protect this land you were born in. I Joe E. Gutierrez we really grasp it until we can teach it to someone." Christianson brings 30 years of experience in education, most recently as director of the Orem LDS Institute of Religion adjacent to UVSC's campus. He is currently a faculty member at Brigham Young University. He is a native na-tive of Utah County, and well known as a speaker in the community. Similar programs have been very successful at other regional re-gional state universities. This is an opportunity for UVSC to enhance the quality of teaching teach-ing and student learning experience expe-rience while becoming more relevant to its sponsoring communities. . mmMmJiMmiimitmtmmmmmtmmm4hM 'llWn-MrirTm Members can always count on great rates by asking for Goldenwest financing right at the dealership.
