I’m disappointed that Ms. Fur­guglietto decided to report on this story with an implication that vid­eo gaming was to blame for what happened. The actions of Miss Robinson were not based on ac­tions portrayed or encouraged by the game in question, nor was the game at any point cited as the in­spiration for her delinquency ­­­ her relationship with an individual she met online is what drove her to take the actions she did. Using language like “extremely violent,” “rampant carnage,” “heinous acts of de­struction,” and “malicious killing”

serves no purpose but to provide shocking imagery unrelated to the story in question and bias the reader against the act of video gaming ­­­ a slap in the face to objective report­ing. At no point does the ABC ar­ticle cited several times throughout this report provide any association between the content of the game and the actions of Miss Robinson, save for a passing reference to her parents’ irresponsibility in allow­ing a thirteen­year­old to play an M­rated game, as well as interact online, without supervision. Their irresponsibility, in my opinion, has

more cause to be considered for the actions that transpired than any vid­eo game does. Making these sorts of baseless associations between video gaming and engaging in de­linquent behavior does nothing but continue to stigmatize a hobby %0$3+2$4.)"$5%%6$2#+7.08$+07$'9:$watching.

The fact of the matter is this: it is not the case that video gamers are dangerous people who make bad choices, it is the case that dangerous people make bad choices – and sometimes, they also happen to play video games.

It is seven o’clock on a Satur­

day night in Dunn Theatre. I peer

at a stage full of instruments but

empty of musicians when sud­

denly, a man walks on stage. Dan

Saulpaugh swings his guitar strap

over his shoulder and begins an

unrecognizable riff. Just as this

!"#$%&'("$)(*)+,-./)*0'1)&)/"#$20,)boy comes strutting out and settles

himself behind the drum set. Paul

Pearl accompanies the guitar with a

solid beat of snare, tom and bass.

Next comes the bassist, walking a

.($0) +') !",) '30) &.,0&%/) 0*'&4.(*30%)music. Matt Gayle looks over from

where he entered, and there ap­

pears the trombonist. Tyler Giroux

perfectly joins in with his fellow

players while the back­up vocalists,

Andrea Palma and D’Nasya Jordan,

enter from the opposing side. By

now, the groove is soundly set, and

the musicians and their listeners all

seem to be enjoying what they hear.

But something’s missing – or

50,3&5*1) -",0) *506(+6&../1) *"-0­one. In textbook “last but certainly

not least” technique, Kyle Tupper

(KT) comes strutting out, head­

nodding and beat­clapping in ap­

proval of the jam session going on

around him. While the audience is

applauding his arrival, he joins his

band mates as they band immedi­

&'0./)%(70)($'")'30)+,*')'#$08)9:";)It Feels,” written by Kyle Tupper

himself, has just enough presence

to begin the set list and to open up

the audience for all the good charts

yet ahead. The follow­up to this

sing is the epitome of KT sound: a

slow ballad starts with Kyle’s all­

encompassing vocals before a fade

from a bellowing note turns into a

blasts of a hard, fast riff. “All You

Need” features the guitar and trom­

bone solo in jazzy fashion while the

back­up vocalists dance and snap in

full support, all the while voicing

the message of Kyle’s entire enter­

tainment philosophy:

“I want [the audience] to experi­

ence how music affects all of us,”

says the front man, “and how it’s

a very special thing. People forget

music can affect your mood and

your life. I want people to leave my

shows feeling good, feeling enter­

tained, feeling the music having an

effect on them. The audience has a

big effect on me; if they don’t feel

good, I don’t feel good.”

Kyle Tupper is a true showman.

Arriving in the early afternoon to

prepare for his premiere on stage

later in the evening, KT appeared

to have as much fun setting up

the stage as he did performing on

('8) :(*) 3#-4.01) !,(0$%./) 50,*"$&.­ity was even apparent in his want

to have the piano front and center,

looking straight ahead, completely

and comfortably engaging with his

audience.

This appreciation and love of

his listeners followed through with

vowed entertainment to the very

end. “What It’s Like” is a fun,

playful piece about loving a girl

and wanting to show her “what it’s

.(<0=)'")40);('3)3(-8)9>?..):&70)'")Wait,” “You Belong With Me,” and

“You’re the One for Me” are other

love songs written by Kyle, all of

which are sultry and soothing and

tender. “Stones to Throw” is a bit

more assertive, cultivating its at­

titude from its shredded guitar so­

just how to belt out and how to hold

back the way Tyler knows when to

play around with pitch and style and

when to let a haunting note hang in

the air. The two were a perfect pair

for such an enchanting piece.

But this coupling did not last

long, as they invited the rest of the

band to rejoin them on stage once

more. The remainder of the set, all

originals composed by KT, embod­

ied a bulk of talent: the drums start

up as if they never stopped, the bass

stays at its heels with catchy, upbeat

foundation, the guitar riffs and roars

the vocalists chant through chorus

lines like heartfelt sirens, and Kyle

tops it all off with pounding piano

keys, a clear crying voice and a

genuine smile.

The last time SUNY Potsdam

had the pleasure of a performance

by The KT Experience was Octo­

ber 1, 2011 – almost one year to

the very day. Formerly a student

of the Crane School of Music for

Education with a concentration

in percussion, Kyle has become a

private percussion instructor and

at St. Lawrence University. Yet, he

on applying to graduate school for

jazz studies, teaching as much as

possible, performing every chance

he gets, and seeing where all this

talent and passion will lead him.

thing is to stay true to myself.”

Already having a facebook (theKT­

TExperience) as well as a YouTube

channel (KTExperienceTheBand),

Kyle takes any chance he can to

promote, including a new line of

merchandise that was available

for purchase during and after the

show. The band is a true force to be

reckoned with, and its fans follow

and support their music as closely

as The KT Experience follows its

well­assembled progressive rock

album. To be honest any listener

must step out from their green day

norm to love this recording, but

trust me it is well worth it in the

end if you can just stick with it.

After the album’s initial re­

lease in 1983 the band, based out

of Milwaukee, blew up and re­

ceived nearly unanimous positive

reviews from prominent music

reviewers such as Rolling Stone

magazine. The Violent Femmes

were truly the voice of heartbreak

in the 80’s, but they quickly lost

popularity after a series of below

par albums and band feuds. De­

spite missteps towards the end of

'30(,)0F(*'0$60)'30(,)+,*')&.4#-)(*)simply too perfect to disregard.

The album plays out as an an­

gry rant of a heartbroken teenager

whose wounds are still tender

from a nasty separation. Even

though a ballad of teen angst may

not seem appealing to most, the

lyrical genius of this singer will

have any audience tapping their

foot and snickering in no time.

Gordon Gano (lead singer and

lyricist) takes an overused topic

and changes it up in a way that

is always interesting; keeping his

audience guessing what witty ex­

periences he might share next.

A highlight of the band’s mu­

sic, besides the crafty lyrics, is the

use of an acoustic bass throughout

the album and the scattered use of

numerous other unconventional

sounds. The use of these strange

sounds reinforce the albums main

overlaying theme of utter chaos

that has taken the narrator to hell

and back for a girl. With that said,

the listeners don’t have to be bit­

ter pre­pubescent children to un­

derstand and enjoy this kickass

record regardless of gender or

past heartbreak.

The bands instrumentals may

be out of the norm for contempo­

rary music, but that doesn’t mean

that it sounds the least bit bizarre.

The way they use their skills com­

pliment the tone of the album and

the end result is something that

both rockers and classical music

&+6("$&%"*) 6&$) &55,06(&'08) :";)

many bands can honestly say that

they have completed an entire

punk rock album with an acoustic

bass and had it sell platinum?

sic tastes than me? Well then

prove it! Send an email to ruba­

One day his boss Abe (Jeff Dan­

2074, is closing the loops. That ba­

is sending loopers back from the

future to be killed by their young­

looper Seth (Paul Dano) has al­

of not closing his loop. But when

Joe’s older self (Bruce Willis) is

If you’ve seen the Roxy, you

know it contains that small town

for the smaller theater experience

to work for it. When I went there

for this review I was greeted in a

rather neighborly manner and felt

more welcomed here then my the­

ater back home. The ticket prices

are cheaper than I used to also: two

dollars less than the chain I usually

go to.

Before the movie I decided to

go to the bathroom, which was in

desperate need of maintenance.

Next to the website navigation it

was by far the most unappealing

part of the experience. It wasn’t all

that gross or anything, I’ve been

in much worse bathrooms, it’s just

that nothing in there worked. One

of the toilets was out of order with

a sweatshirt stuffed in it, the tiles

were all stained giving the room a

grimier feel, the sinks were missing

their faucet handles, and instead of

a mirror you get an outdated movie

poster to investigate as you wash

your hands. Movies are common

date locations and that’s the one

time in your life you want to look

your best. “Sorry babe, I didn’t

know my shirt wasn’t tucked in,

It has been impossible to turn

on a television without seeing

a commercial for the newly re­

leased “Pitch Perfect.” Though

this sort of overexposure often

ends in disappointment, this time

the movie exceeds the hype.

The story follows Beca, (Al­

exandra Kendricks) a fresh­

man at Barden College who

dreams of being a DJ in Los

Angeles. Upon her arrival at

Barden she encounters the

“Barden Bellas,” the female A

Capella group on campus. Once

at the top of the social pyramid,

the group is now facing trouble

getting new members when Au­

brey (Anna Camp), the soloist at

'30)>QQ@)+$&.*)'3,0;)#5)&..)"70,)the stage.

While the Bellas search for new

members Beca decides to join, as

her father promised to pay for her

'")-"70)'")R@)&!'0,)30,)+,*')/0&,)of college if she promises to join

at least one social group on cam­

pus.

Aubrey clashes with most of

the new members, especially

Beca, as they resist the old boring

set list that the Bellas have been

using for the past 20 years, which

ends up in hilarious disaster at ev­

ery turn.

The movie has the musical­

ity of “Glee” and the humor of

“Mean Girls,” but manages to

keep its individuality. The laughs

come one right after another for

'30)0$'(,0)%#,&'("$)"!)'30)+.-8The movie’s scene­stealer

without a doubt was Rebel Wil­

son, who played the self­pro­

claimed Fat Amy. Every time she

opened her mouth, she came out

with a gem that left the audience

($)*'('630*8)S0;6"-0,):&$&)N&0)Lee was also very funny, as the

nearly mute Lilly who, while very

soft spoken, was quite sadistic

and dangerous, unbeknownst to

the rest of the Bellas since they

couldn’t hear her.

Pitch Perfect is full of laughs,

music, and romance and is perfect

for those looking for a fun night

new comers and those who know

the show, seemed to be very hap­

py to be there. The mood was sim­

ilar to that of those waiting for a

well known band to arrive on the

stage. As Ryan Bregaudit and the

Galaxy Questers played Rob onto

the stage, the audience welcomed

him back with loud applause.

Rob, for the show’s return,

had many wonderful guests for

the night, which included Ryan

Williams, SUNY Potsdam’s own

SGA President, the Racquette’s

own Nathan Rubadou, and mu­

sical guest Ben Gonella. Rob

and Mr. Williams seemed very

comfortable on stage, both casu­

ally cracking jokes that had both

groups on stage and off laughing,

and also touched upon a group

project that Ryan was partaking

in called the Tolerance and Stabil­

ity sit down, an event that was co­

ordinated with a partnership with

SUNY Canton and would show

support for tolerance amongst

students.

Afterwards, the crowd was

entertained with a “Slack­Jaw

and Austin Petrashune in which

the end, the bout was ended in a

tie when neither would concede

defeat.

Nathan Rubadou, our very own

Arts and Entertainment Editor,

spoke to Rob after the break about

what he thinks about what A & E

is looking to do with him on the

reins. Nathan had a smile on as he

told that the Arts are important to

the campus and that he would like

to showcase more Campus events.

“They’re important to us [as a

Liberal Arts school]” he spoke

($) '30) ($'0,7(0;8) ) :0) 6"$'($#0%)on calling them vital to the com­

munity and that “so many other

things would not be possible”

without the arts that Potsdam and

the area has to offer and would be

a “missed opportunity” if you did

not try to go to an event.

The show ended twofold: with

musical guest Ben Gonella and

semi­traditional video with Rob

and Ryan Bregaudit. The host­

duo played a video sketch of the

two creating their own business

“Rob and Ryan: Remote Find­

ers” whom you could pay to help

songs entitled “Platypus Stan”

and “Multicolored Dreams” both

of which were very good. Ben

has a unique voice that one would

not expect from him. I highly rec­

ommend seeing him when he does

could. Despite a few minor set­

That game was a heated battle as it is every time these teams meet. The second time was in FC Scor­gasm favor ending in a 3­2 score. There were six other teams, one

was the fresh, animated and fun loving Team FLASH, also known as Team Supreme. Team E.O.T.H. It’s not a word nor do I know what it stands for, but as confusing as their name was, there was no con­fusion when it came to their skill, determination and grit. The Anthro Club, another one of the seven, scored a beautiful goal from out­side 18­yards to open up their sea­son. They were a team that didn’t show up often but when they did they were fun to watch. Flash and E.O.T.H runs ended in the group stages, while Free Agents, Ston­ers FC, FC Scorgasm, Boss, Team DYNASTY and The Anthro Club made it to the quarters.One of my favorite clubs to

great and had lots of fun. There were times of heated arguments, joy and despair all of which is ex­pected when you have passion mixed with a desire to win. Next up in Intramural sports is basketball

and indoor soccer, so if you have a team, or if you don’t come out and play, make some new friends and enjoy yourself. You can sign up for different sports on the Intramural homepage over at PotsdamBears.com. So see what sport you want to be apart of, sign up, and come and have some fun.

Hey … you there. Yeah. You. Come here. I want to tell you some­thing. No. Not my book. You al­ready know about that. It’s another thing. A crazy theory I have. Actu­ally, it’s not so crazy, it’s something happening in newspapers across America. Basically, if it can be found on the Internet, there’s re­ally not much of a point of having it in the newspaper. I don’t know if I totally buy into that, but maybe there’s some truth to it? You’re go­ing to have to let me know. Because here’s what we’re going to do with this little sports section here.For years, and I can vouch for

with The Racquette in 2004­ I re­alize this was before most of you were born, but hang with me here. I’m building to something­ the sports section has always kind of been a dumping ground for sports information, which isn’t a bad thing on its own, but that would usually be wrapped with MAYBE, MAYBE one or two articles written by actual staff writers about local sporting events. And those events would almost always be hockey and basketball. If you were play­ing on one of the many awesome women’s teams, you were ignored. And if you played on the golf team? Forget it. It’s like you’re not really a team at all … which you’re kind :3%-:*/%98*%&3%1:8%(#-*%*:%,>)*%0"%

It’s not a secret. This is Potsdam. What else is there to do but be mad at your betters? I’m totally kidding! Ok. Kind of. But ... now we’re get­ting off track. So. Sports section. Kind of a

bummer throughout its history, huh? I’d like to change that. With

science! What? Oh. Sorry. Can’t use science. This is a state school and we might offend someone. We can use actual stories though, from the athletes themselves. Because how cool would that be? We can actually hear them talk about the events in a cool and personal way that you can’t get … yup. On the Internet. See what I did there? You like it, right? And the best part? Ev­ery sport and every athletic event gets covered in equally and in a 38-% (#1% 1:8% $#-J*% ,-.% #-1()"5"%else. But we’re not going to let the student athletes have all the fun.
