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 Tinted 4 Mack puMshw My during aack limiter iccordmg lo ma UNvsrsHy schedule Ada may Da piacad Monday Friday Sam. spm mow otet a 540 Baidaf St or cal 433-30 H and ckarja id yow MaaMCard, VBA, or Amancan Express Prepaymanl a raqwrad Ada can alao Da laaadyla brink) 433-3033 or a-makao k) cikaaKadaWrandD com Classifieds Rates PRIVATE PARTY RATE (Applies to individual persons only) (0-25 words) lit Day/Skip days -SM9 3 Consecutive Days.

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.

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.

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. “That’s a heck of a line for 13 SUBLEASE IBR IBA in a 3BR 3BA J350/mo ♦ 1/3 utilities Walking distance downtown.

"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.” Red&Black 80 j Help Wanted I BARTENDING! UP to S2SO/day.
