A Must Fbr the Dick
Mud Scholar employs
biting satire towards soci
ety’s trends, fads and sub
cultures and mixes it with
generous doses of sardonic
self- deprecation.
The solo project/alter
ego of guitarist and singer
Alex McKelvey, Mud
Scholar —as defined from
McKelvey’s MySpace is
“a lost, perverted soul who
is unafraid of ’9os chord
progressions and trite
vocal melodies.”
Not exactly a praisewor
thy portrayal, but upon lis
tening to debut album “A
Must for the Dick,” it
becomes apparent that
Mud Scholar’s purpose is
not merely to lampoon
itself, but to morph into
the personas of a breadth
of posers and skewer them.
With Mud Scholar,
everyone is a victim
including you, for listening
to the album.
That turns out not to
be a bad thing, as “A Must
for the Dick” is actually a
diverse, funny and wildly
entertaining ride.
Sure, the aforemen
tioned boneheaded ’9os
chord progressions occa
sionally pop up, but
they’re meant ironically.
McKelvey seems to create
bad music that knows it’s
bad, which only serves to

new executive producer of
Daybreak, but it’s Ford
who steals the show.
Morning news shows
are an event unto them
selves. Pap smears on live
TV? Sure. Overabundance
of words such as “fluffy”
and “yum,” That too. But
still, they exist as a part of
American culture, pack
aged-joy masquerading as
prepared reporting.
Diane Keaton is Colleen
Peck, longtime anchor of
Daybreak who is content S
with its position but not
with its staff. Daybreak is
her show, her way and too
be honest, who is going to
tell Annie Hall anything
different?
The gist of “Morning
Glory" is straightforward:
young ingenue makes good
on childhood dream by
achieving the impossible.
But “Morning Glory”
really does something else
make adults laugh.
It’s simple, really, for a
comedy to be funny, but
it’s rare that it is so satisfy
ing.
VERDICT:
“Morning Glory” is
worth the ratings and the
price of admission.
Elaine Kelch
listen up!
more deeply ridicule bad
music being made with a
serious face.
Take opener “Stop
What You’re Doing and
Look at Me,” which rides
on the most generic chorus
possible but is undercut
midway through by an
odd, demented guitar
breakdown that echoes
McKelvey’s former prog
rock band Crumbling
Arches.
These progressive lean
ings lend “A Must for the
Dick" genuine musical
substance beneath all the
pastiche.
The clearest musical
influences present are
Tenacious D and Ween
just like these bands, the
music is loaded with
humor and irreverence but
underpinned with, you
know, talent.
Throughout “A Must for
the Dick’s” 12 tracks, it’s
clear McKelvey is having
fun, taking measured
swipes at mainstream
music labeled as alterna
tive “My Favorite Band
Is Lifehouse;” promiscuity
as in “Man-Slut Logic;”
hipsters, such as “Elitist’s
Curse;” and obsessive
Fac ebook-stalkers
“Tabitha (A Love Song).”
The most experimental
track, “I’m in a Band,” par
odies wannabe rock musi
cians while the song struc
ture seems to implode on
itself.
VERDICT:
“A Must for the Dick”
is, through and through, a
hilarious record that deliv
ers consistent laughs —as
long as you can embrace
the unflinchingly sarcastic,
tongue-in-cheek presenta
tion of Mud Scholar’s
music.

Lady Dogs cruise past Southern
By RYAN BLACK
The Red & Black
The Georgia women’s basketball
team’s game agqlhst Georgia
Southern on Sunday afternoon was
like watching two siblings go at it in
a game of one-on-one.
The older sibling, Georgia, may
let the younger sibling, Georgia
Southern, keep it close for a while,
but the older sibling is never in any
real danger of losing the game.
With that, the Lady Bulldogs
opened their regular season with a
58-43 victory over the Lady Eagles in
the newly-renovated Stegeman
Coliseum, improving their all-time
record in the series against Georgia
Southern to 21-9. Despite the win,
Georgia head coach Andy Landers
expected more from his team.
“They’re better than they played,
actually, but we have some depth,”
he said. “A lot of people played a lot
of minutes, some of them played
close to their potential, some of
them may have underachieved a bit,
but it’s early.”
Landers was also left with a
dilemma, unsure whether he over
worked the team in practice.
“Later in the game, it looked like
we were tired, and I’m 50/50 wonder
ing if I worked them too hard this
week, which I did on purpose,” he
said. “We let up yesterday, thinking
we’d get our legs back and thinking
since we were sharing so many min
utes this is the stat sheet I envi
sioned in terms of minutes played
by players that our legs would be
fine, but maybe I worked them too
hard this week. If that’s not the
case, and we’re out of shape, then I
didn’t work them hard enough."
Landers’ criticisms aside, the
Lady Bulldogs had a balanced per
formance offensively, with every
Georgia player who saw action scor
ing, and two players tying for the
team-high in points, as junior
Meredith Mitchell and senior Porsha
Phillips both notched 11.
Phillips also hauled in 13 rebounds
to go with her 11 points, marking
her 14th career double-double.
“It’s good to get a win because
it’s the first game, but we didn’t do
as well as we would like to do,”
Mitchell said. “We didn’t knock down
all the shots we wanted to. We took
some really good shots, but we
didn’t get transition buckets the
way we wanted to. I felt like they did
a really good job getting back on
defense.”
As for the game itself, the Lady
Bulldogs and Lady Eagles swapped
the lead back-and-forth early on
before Georgia ended the first half
on an 11-2 run to head into the
locker room ahead 30-19.
In the second half, the teams

Lady Bulldogs never let the Lady
Eagles close to within less than eight
points, outscoring the Lady Eagles
28-24 to grab a 15-point season
opening victory, 58-43.
A bright spot for the Lady
Bulldogs on Sunday was the play of
sophomore forward Tamika Willis,
who posted career-highs with nine
points and eight rebounds in 13
minutes of play. She credits the
coaching of Landers to aiding her
improvement, and Landers himself
was quite pleased with Willis’ perfor
mance, adding that he “hoped” to
see more games like this from her as
the season progresses.

Jamie Navarro led the Lady
Eagles with 10 points and nine
rebounds, but for Georgia Southern,
which has lost 19 straight games to
Georgia —with their last victory
being in Statesboro in 1981 it was
just another loss to the Lady Dogs.
“All of the girls on our team are
girls that Georgia didn’t want to
sign, so this is their shot at them,”
Georgia Southern head coach Rusty
Cram said. "This is their chance to
play some of the best in the country
and they feel very good about the
way they played as a team.”
