Forget the May flowers.

Meteorologists and drought experts say heavier-than-usual April showers could alleviate the drought that’s plagued Ne-braska for nearly two years now.

Emerging from the 29th coldest winter on record, Nebraska is running out of subsoil moisture and time. Lincoln’s garnered 6.96 inches of precipitation since Oct. 1, according to the National Weather Service — just 0.02 inches below normal levels. But precipitation doesn’t mean much when it falls on frozen ground, said meteorologist Josh Boustead of the National Weather Service in Valley.

And much of the precipitation came in the form of snow. Meteorolo-gists measure about 1 inch of liquid precipitation for every 10 to 12 inches of snow, once it melts.

The region needs 3 to 9 inches more precipitation than the monthly average, spread across the spring, to gain a break from the drought.

“We’re gonna get rain in the spring, but we need more than that,” said Van DeWald, lead meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Valley.

Mark Svoboda, a climatologist and leader at the National Drought Mitigation Center on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus, said this season has been disappointing.

“We were really hoping to see a much wetter, cooler fall and winter,” he said. “We’ve pretty much exhausted the bank coming into 2013. So we’re not gonna have that to rely on. We’re gonna be living rain-to-rain, unless we get a good spring.”

The drought finds its roots in the dry fall and winter seasons of 2011-12, which were followed by a scorching 2012 summer. Altogether, the sea-sons put a strain on Nebraska’s water reservoirs, allowing for little chance of recharge.

In Svoboda’s words, Mother Nature hasn’t had “a chance to catch her breath.”

The winter’s snowfalls, starting with a heavy blanketing just before Christmas and persisting sporadically through March, aided the land-scape. Now that soil has thawed, melting snow can provide some needed moisture. But the snowfall, although helpful, wasn’t a solution.

John Hansen, president of Nebraska Farmers Union, put it this way: “The meteorologist that spoke at our state convention said in order to get back to some semblance of normal soil moisture, we would need about 15 feet of snow. So we’re about 13 and a half feet short.”

If rain doesn’t come soon, the drought’s effects – strained municipal water supply, overgrazed pastures and dried-out crops – will hit harder and faster, Svoboda warned.

Staff reportdn

The University of Nebraska-Lin-coln Department of Modern Lan-guages and Literatures will host its 37th annual Language Fair Tuesday in the Nebraska Union.

The fair, which typically draws more than 1,000 high school students from across the state to compete in foreign language chal-lenges, runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“It’s all about getting kids here

on campus and having their work judged in front of college profes-sors and getting them to think about furthering their education in modern language,” said Shan-non Parry, the language fair ’s coordinator, who has helped or-ganize the annual fair since 2004.

“When the department first organized the program, they asked, ‘What is a way that we can serve the community and allow students to express themselves in the languages they’re learning?’”

she said.And so the students compete

in language challenges, which are organized into two levels.

The level one category rep-resents students who have taken one or two years of language study. In the level two category are the students who have taken three or four years of language study.

All Lincoln high schools are signed up to participate in the fair, as well as schools in Omaha

and more rural parts of Nebraska, Parry said.

In the past five years, the department decided to include events in the fair that specifically target Spanish heritage speakers. Spanish heritage speakers are stu-dents that grew up in their home speaking Spanish with their fami-lies, but lack writing and gram-mar skills, Parry said.

“It’d be like you speaking English, but no one ever teaching you how to read or write it,” she

said. “This encourages heritage speakers to learn the mechanics of their language.”

These high school students come to the fair with knowledge in various languages, including: Spanish, French, Chinese, Ger-man, Japanese and Russian, ac-cording to Parry.

Students can compete in five different categories: drama, folk dance, music, poetry and poster.

In each event, a top perfor-mance (first place) and an honor-

able mention (second place) will be awarded.

Students who choose not to compete have an opportunity to take dance lessons offered by the UNL International Folk Danc-ers. The fair also offers language and culture mini-lessons for each of the competition languages, as well as Czech, Swahili, Portu-guese and Arabic.

In a measure that will save about $24,000, the Lancaster County Board recently eliminat-ed from its budget funeral ser-vices for indigent burials.

The county has opted for cremation instead of burials for poor residents for the past nine years, the Lincoln Journal Star reported, but the cost-saving change takes away the option of

a free funeral home viewing and service.

Tom Roper of Roper & Sons Funeral & Cremation services said in a March 25 Journal Star ar-ticle that the change isn’t surpris-ing.

“There has been a downturn,” he said. “The county has a budget; it has to be mindful of costs.”

But Beatty Brasch, executive

director of the Center for People in Need, said funeral services are a significant loss.

“It helps people understand and accept the death,” she said in the Journal Star article. “It brings families together. All cultures have death rituals, and this is an impor-tant one in our culture.”

A new Facebook study sug-gests that more than 2.7 mil-lion additional users changed their profile pictures last week in an effort to show support for same-sex marriage as the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral ar-guments for two cases on the matter. As of early March, the social network had more than 1 billion users.

The study released last Fri-day stated that profile pictures were updated 120 percent more on March 26 than they were the previous Tuesday. That’s about 2.7 million addi-tional swaps than on a normal day. The phenomenon was led by Human Rights Campaign’s pink and red equality image, though many users adapted the symbol in their own way, including uses of bacon strips and red velvet cake.

Many University of Ne-braska-Lincoln students and faculty questioned whether the movement was effective. But while the photo dispersion may not directly affect the Supreme Court’s decisions, many said it did show unity among support-ers of marriage equality.

“I identify with (the move-ment),” said Jimmy Schleisman, a freshman finance and market-ing major who changed his pro-file picture to the HRC logo. “I believe in equal rights for all, and this is a part of the whole civil rights movement.”

The study found that users around age 30 were most like-ly to make the profile picture change, about 3.5 percent in response to the Supreme Court oral arguments made last week. From the 2.7 million photo changes, 2.3 per-cent of self-re-porting females and 2.1 percent of self-reporting males changed their profile pic-tures. This cur-rent trend was not only well-represented by those in their 30s, but also those between the ages of 19 and 24.

Carly Woods, communica-tion studies assistant profes-sor, said she doesn’t change her profile picture often.

“However, I thought this cause was particularly strong and overwhelming,” Woods said.

She said the social media campaign will not have any direct effect on the court, but it was a simple way to get na-tional attention.

She refers to it as “slacktiv-

isim,” or efforts to promote a social issue that make partici-pants feel good but have little effect outside the participant’s satisfaction. “It does not have a direct effect, but it shows that marriage equality is gaining steam in this country. It was also striking to see a sea of red

and pink when logging onto Facebook.”

Woods said the profile pic-ture changes may have been well-circulated, but “the HRC would probably say that it isn’t enough.”

However ef-fective HRC’s campaign may have been, some

students felt that social media was not an appropriate plat-form.

“Quite frankly, I’m not sure where I stand on the whole is-sue itself,” said Anna Bashus, a freshman accounting major. “I don’t really like getting in-volved in politics that I’m not sure of my opinion on. In gen-eral, I saw a lot of controversy between friends over photos.”

She said decisions to change profile pictures spurred argu-ments between friends who disagreed on the issue.

“I don’t think that Face-

book is the kind of place for discussing these things,” Bashus said.

Schleisman disagrees and found the campaign to be per-tinent to social media.

“Facebook is a place to blog and say what you think, it’s kind of the point to share ideas,” Schleisman said.

UNL sophomore Molly Ra-koczy supports same-sex mar-riage but didn’t change her profile picture.

“I know what my opinion is,” Rakoczy said. “I don’t see the point in changing a pro-file picture. I understand why other people do, though, and I support them.”

The campaign was wide-spread, yet some students felt that it was more effective than others.

“I think it definitely did have an effect,” Schleisman said. “It made the media pay attention. I mean, it’s a nation-al story.”

Others felt that the plat-form did not do enough to drastically change anything.

“Overall, it might affect how people think, but I’m not sure,” Bashus said.

Rakoczy agreed.“Other than getting atten-

tion, I don’t think it will change things where it counts,” she said.

the past week gave Lincolnites a lot of weather to ponder: Rain, sleet, a little snow and a small glimpse into spring. With the Spring Equinox behind us, DN photographers are looking forward to tak-ing photos in the warm weather. We’re excited about track and field meets outdoors, tennis matches on the courts near 17th and

Vine streets and feature hunting at sunset. In fact, we were itching to get out of the cold weather so badly we went out and enjoyed the weather. Here’s what some other people have been up to in the recent spring weath-er. Thanks for looking!

Global climate change patterns could make matters even worse, he said. He cited the 2011 record flooding of the Missouri River, followed by re-cord low inflows to the basin in 2012. He has a name for the oscillation.

“The roller coaster, I like to call it,” he said. “That’s something we can ex-pect more of going forward.”

Hansen’s afraid the much-needed moisture will arrive too little, too late.

“Nebraska is not a state that is known for its timely rain,” Hansen said with a laugh. “Our crops tend to burn up by the time we get the rain we should have. If we don’t have some moisture to carry it through, we’re in trouble. “

Hansen, who farms corn and soy-beans, said this drought is the worst

he’s ever seen — and he’s been farm-ing since he was a highschooler in 1966.

The low subsoil moisture levels put farmers in an unusually vulner-able position for the next growing sea-son, Hansen said.

“Everyone is talking about and worrying about the weather in this growing season,” he said. “It domi-nates the conversation. Because this is

our livelihood.”In the meantime, Hansen is mak-

ing nightly trips across the state for spring district meetings with Nebras-ka farmers. And he’s pushing fund-ing for the farm bill signed into law in January that aims to strengthen farm risk-management programs.

He said it’s just the kind of legis-lation needed to handle “the worst drought this country’s seen in 50

years.”“Jeepers creepers, I’ve never seen

anything like it,” Hansen said. “I’ve never seen heat and drought of this magnitude, and I’ve never really seen the failure of our Congress to respond in an appropriate way to a disaster of this magnitude. We’re in uncharted waters, and it’s unclear whether the folks steering the ship have a clue.”

Svoboda said Nebraska’s got a long way to go to make up for sum-mer and winter deficits. As for wheth-er the region has a chance of making up for lost moisture, he said all bets are off.

“If I could predict that,” he said, “you’d be calling me on my yacht.”

the fair, the department is offer-ing four $1,000 scholarships to junior and senior students who enroll at UNL and declare a ma-jor in French, German or Spanish. Scholarship categories for com-petition are French, German and Spanish.

In order to compete for the scholarship, the students were asked to write a 300-word essay in one of three target languages: Spanish, French or German. The essay had to answer “How will a degree in Modern Languag-es help me achieve my future goals?”

Three finalists were selected for each category and are invited to give a five-minute presenta-

tion during the language fair ceremonies. They must also read their essay and answer questions by a panel of judges in the same target language, according to the department’s website.

The fair is the Modern Lan-guages and Literatures depart-ment’s biggest event of the year, according to Parry. She said the department asks its faculty to cancel language classes for the day so that faculty members and students can be involved with the fair.

“Really for the Language Fair, we want to celebrate language learning,” Parry said.

Home is the place where you’re most comfortable. It’s the place where you crash after a long day of school or work. It’s the place where you make

your meals and hang out with your fam-ily.

For some, maybe it’s not even a house or an apartment. It could be a certain stack in the library with the comfiest chair or a particular table at your favorite coffee shop or a park where you can explore for hours without getting bored. It could even be any place where you’re with the people you love.

Maybe it’s even an ob-ject. You might not feel at home without a camera in one hand. Even if you’re in a place where you don’t feel at home, there are things you can do.

Billings, Mont., is a beautiful place surrounded by cliffs, mountains and huge hills. I grew up there in a little house with a huge back-yard complete with tons of trees and two gardens. As a child, that house and that neighborhood were my whole world.

I climbed trees, played house and got into trouble with my best friend from across the street. My parents were the best a girl could ask for. They raised me

right and taught me everything I know in that neighborhood. But as much as I love that place and as much as I love go-ing back to see my family and the place I grew up, it isn’t home to me anymore.

For me, home is Wyoming. In Wyoming, I took many late-night

drives with great new friends. I hid from security under my desk in the newsroom so I could work just a little longer. I loved and felt real heartbreak for the first time. I camped, and we nearly got lost because we’d left too late to get set up before dark. I experienced being drunk for the

first time. These are just a small handful of the things I experienced during the two years I lived in small-town Wyoming — and those things changed me. Those things are the things I think of when I cross the Nebraska border.

In a recent Thought Catalog article, Kovie Biakolo wrote, “Home is a feeling; it is a feeling of con-tentment and ease and a feeling that you are loved and accepted. Home is where you’re taken as you are but you’re chal-lenged and championed to be even more than you are. Home is peace of mind and laughter and passion; home is the place that you grow.”

Biakolo makes a good point. Any

place where you grow as a person can be home. For me, I think I grew more in those two years in Wyoming than I did in my entire 18 years of life before that. Home, also, is the place where you have the most memories. Growth and memories are prob-ably the two most important factors in de-termining where your heart’s home is.

One of my greatest friends, who was born and raised in a tiny town in Wyoming, said it best, “I’ve always felt stifled in Wyo-ming. Like there are bigger and more excit-ing places to explore. But every time I get off the plane from exploring some new place across the country, I can’t help but feel like I’m at home when I breathe in that mountain air.”

I’m not saying uproot everything and move to Wyoming or to wherever home is for you. Oftentimes, we don’t have the option of moving to wherever our “home” is, so we have to make do with what we have. It’s easy to put a few post-ers up and toss a few comfy blankets on a mattress and call it “home.” It’s harder to feel at home in an entire city or state. I’d bet many of us at UNL don’t want to live in Lincoln forever after we graduate, but we do want to enjoy the time we’re here. Here are a few ways to make the most out of any temporary home:

1. make friends This is essential to being comfortable

anywhere. You don’t need to have a ton of friends. You just need two, or even one, who can show you the ropes and be there for you in the long run.2. become a regular somewhere

Go somewhere on a semi-consistent basis until the people who work there know your order by heart and you feel like you can joke around with them. It’s always a little exhilarating when you walk up to the counter of your favorite coffee shop and the barista asks, “Just your regular today?” (Side note: If you do this, always tip. Otherwise, the workers won’t want to talk with you; they’ll want you to go away.)

3. be spontaneous If you go on sporadic adventures in

your place of residence, it’s bound to feel more like home. Places will start to have memories attached to them, and they won’t just be more nameless landmarks in a town you don’t care for. 4. keep things around that remind you of where you want to be

If you feel at home in New York City, put up a poster of the skyline. If you prefer the beach, fill up some jars with sand and keep them somewhere you can plainly see.

For me, home is mountains and wide open spaces, but for someone else, home is the ocean. Home could be the farmland and cornfields of Nebraska. Home could be the big city. Home is anywhere you want it to be.

Even if you aren’t “home” right now, make the most of where you are. Maybe, if you grow enough and make enough memories, that place will begin to feel like home. But don’t settle for living some-where you don’t want to be. Make sure you go home every once in a while.

The futility of many accolades is more obvious in its winners. Con-sider Time Magazine’s Person of the Year recognition, which select-ed “The Computer” in 1982, “The Endangered Earth” in 1988, and

“You” in 2006. Now there’s a resume booster.This year, a record 259 people and orga-

nizations are competing for the Nobel Peace Prize, which comes with an approximate $1.2 million prize. The Norwegian Nobel Com-mittee doesn’t reveal candidates’ names for 50 years, but information is released by those whose submitted applications were accepted . From this list, it becomes increasingly clear that the award is transitioning to more of a po-litical propaganda tool — if not an unabashed anti-American statement — than a true instru-ment of peace.

The list of controversial Prize recipients is long.

Last year, the committee faced much criti-cism after awarding the European Union with the Nobel Peace Prize. The award was given to the EU on the grounds that it essentially kept its member nations from killing each other since World War II. Problems with these grounds are a topic of their own. This assumes centuries of war-faring tribes are both unique to the region and unessential for survival in past eras.

The biggest issue, however, is the Europe-an debt crisis that is increasingly worrisome. Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain are in serious financial straits, and about 25 mil-lion EU residents are unemployed, according to the European Commission.

“For them, people may even think that this is cynical,” said Paul De Grauwe, an econo-mist with the London School of Economics, in a widely circulated news story. “If I were living in Portugal or Spain or Greece, I would be upset about it: ‘They are giving this prize to these people in Brussels, and they are the source of my misery.’”

If Europe’s financial crisis isn’t solved soon, peace may not reside in the continent much longer. Tensions are mounting among struggling countries and nations with a nor-mally robust economy like Germany.

In 2009, President Barack Obama received the award after only a few months in office. Obama had done almost nothing to facilitate world peace but was given the prize for his potential and for not being George W. Bush. This is akin to also giving the top player on the winning NCAA basketball team the NBA’s MVP award as well. Four years and a ques-

tionable amount of drone attacks later, Obama hasn’t lived up to the legacy the committee created for him.

Former vice president Al Gore and the United Nations were given the award in 2007 for what was essentially a PowerPoint on glob-al warming. How climate change is relevant to armed, international disputes remains unclear. In fact, associates of the United Nations, crony organization to the Norwegian Nobel Com-mittee, have been awarded the prize 10 times, according to the UN’s website.

North Korea sympathizer and former president Jimmy Carter was the laureate in 2002. One member of that year’s selection committee even had the stones to say Carter ’s selection “should be interpreted as a criticism of the line the cur-rent administration has taken. It’s a kick in the leg to all who follow the same line as the United States.”

These intentions send a strong and un-welcoming image: America is the enemy. That message is reiterated with many of this year’s nominees, including frontrunner Pfc. Bradley Manning.

Manning was charged with and pleaded guilty to many counts of leaking hundreds of thousands of documents to Wikileaks and is still on trial for his most serious offense, which is essentially treason. Manning’s plight is one of many facets, and for purposes of clarity and concision, the debate over what information should be available to the public won’t be dis-cussed here.

Regardless, he’s charged under the U.S. definition of betrayal, which obviously makes him against the government’s interests. Ad-ditionally, most of his work came in 2010, so

it’s interesting and unfair that he’s now being considered for the prize.

The reasoning for Manning’s inclusion in this year’s laureate pool essential goes like this: Because the U.S. is the strongest military power in the world and is more prepared for war than any other nation, its very existence is detrimental for peace. Because Manning has actively tried to jeopardize this, some forms of reasoning conclude that he’s therefore the strongest catalyst for peace.

It’s all a vicious cycle, though, as it can also be argued that America must always be prepared for war because of this bitter attitude much of the world has toward it. Apparently, the Norwegian Nobel Committee is no excep-tion and stands to promote this resentment.

A vast difference exists between being prepared to protect our interests and crusad-ing around the world, oppressing its popula-tions for the thrill of it. In the past decade or so and across multiple administrations, the United States hasn’t had much of a reputation for turning the other cheek and being the most peaceful of nations. Regardless, this shouldn’t mean reward those who spite us.

Plenty of this year’s nominees are deserv-ing of the prize, though. Malala Yousafzai, a

15-year-old girl who was shot by the Taliban for her women’s rights work, would be a good choice. So would Yank Barry, who cofounded the Global Vil-lage Champions Founda-tion, which has fed more than 900 million meals to the world’s impoverished. Barry was also a member of

the ’60s rock group The Kingsmen, famous for the worst song of all time, “Louie, Louie.” But that song alone might be reason enough not to give him the award.

The time has come to place less credence in awards by elitist organizations that have seemingly lost the original intention behind choosing Prize recipients. The legacy of peo-ple like Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama (Mahat-ma Gandhi never won, unfortunately) is being tarnished when associated with laureates who haven’t fully earned their recognition or were awarded based on ulterior motives.

facebook activism spawns lazy way

of creating changeChanging your Facebook profile picture won’t change the

world.In case you missed it, last Monday the Human Rights Cam-

paign launched a campaign asking Facebook users to change their profile picture into a red and pink equals sign. The HRC’s aim was to show support for same-sex marriage as the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on California’s Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The campaign was largely successful and a Sea of Red popped up across our feeds.

While showing support for our LGBTQ friends and family is a great thing, especially because the campaign is so visual, it’s not enough.

Such forms of protest are practically noiseless. This cam-paign isn’t in anybody’s face, it’s not hurting anyone’s wallet nor is it pressuring politicians in any tangible way.

Chances are Justice Anthony Kennedy, one of the most vital justices making a decision on the issue, won’t see your Facebook profile picture before the court rules on this in the summer or fall. Nor will he care — the court is already aware of how split the country is on this issue.

That’s not to say that this visual support isn’t important, though. This is a great gesture that truly shows members of the LGBTQ community that we’re here, and we do support you.

But if this is what the future of protesting is, then shame upon our generation. This is lazy and ineffective work toward actually affecting change.

Instead of changing your profile picture, look to the past for inspiration. Remember the 1960s and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the lunch counter sit-ins and various marches where so many people bravely demanded equality.

Or more recently, Slut Walks around the world popped up because of a viral campaign. The big difference is that these protests were physical in nature. You can’t ignore 100 people holding signs and chanting outside government offices. You can scroll past a profile picture update on a news feed.

Write letters to your representatives, both federal and state. Boycott anti-gay businesses, organize rallies and donate money to organizations working to promote same-sex equality. If you care about an issue, then get off your computer chair and do something about it.

Receiving both critical and popular admiration, the Long Beach, Calif.-bred Cold War Kids have made a name for themselves within the soul-punk scope of contemporary indie rock since 2004. Bursting onto the scene with “Robbers and Cow-ards,” the Cold War Kids are now set to release their fourth full-studio al-bum, “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts,” on Tuesday. Two days after the album’s official release, the Cold War Kids will be at the Slowdown in Omaha. Nathan Willett, the band’s primary vocalist, spoke to the Daily Nebraskan about the hype surrounding the band’s new sin-gle, “Miracle Mile,” their identity as a band and what has kept them close over the years.

Daily Nebraskan: Next week, the Cold War Kids will release their fourth studio album, and you’ve re-leased the album’s first single, “Mir-

acle Mile,” in January. What’s your take on its reception so far?

Nathan Willett: Yeah, it’s been great. We kind of just wanted to put it out and have people hear it. We’ve had a great big response so far, we’ve got a lot of reaction online, and hope-fully we’ll continue to get some radio play and all that business.

DN: Have you done anything specifically to promote the single?

NW: I mean, no. We’re actually doing the video tomorrow.

DN: So it’s sort of taken off on its own?

NW: Yeah. We were at South by Southwest last week. We’re doing a lot of radio shows, playing acoustic versions of the song — all that stuff.

DN: Back in 2010, you mentioned to Filter Magazine that, prior to going into the studio for

“Mine Is Yours,” you hadn’t really worked with a producer or a prima-ry influence of your work, that you had made everything on your own thus far. But, going into the studio in

February of that year, you’d decid-ed to work with producer Jacquire King. What prompted that decision?

NW: Any time the group works together, after a few years, you want to want to have some more ideas outside of just the four of you. It was a decision to get a little more input into the process.

DN: You mentioned that you were excited to see where his direc-tion led you with the album. Now that your second album produced by King is recorded and near release, what would you say the primary ef-fect was? Has there been anything you didn’t expect?

NW: It’s all been part of a learn-ing process. We learned to spend more time in the studio, and I think that started the pattern. The level of comfort at being in the studio (in-creased); we’re trying a lot of things, looking at recording as not just a spontaneous live thing but some-thing you can add to and take away from.

DN: A few years ago, you made the observation that what Wilco was to country or Americana, Cold War

Kill County releases new album ‘Dust in Wire’ despite distanceMaDeline chRistensen

dn

It’s a Sunday afternoon, the sun is hot on the dashboard and singer-songwriter Ringo of Kill County is driving through the Nebraska plains from Michigan. He’s finally meeting up with the rest of the band in Lincoln to release its new record at the Zoo Bar, the band’s third full-length album since 2007.

Josh James, the other half of Kill County’s lead vocals and lyr-ics, already made the drive up to Nebraska from Austin, Texas, and drummer Brad Kindler is flying in from Africa, while Jon Augustine and Joe Salvati round out the rest of the group.

If anything is going to sepa-rate Kill County’s Lincoln-native, country-folk sound, it won’t be the miles.

“We have this bizarre commit-ment to the band that I couldn’t have perceived three years ago,” Ringo said. “I mean, we travel thousands of miles just to get to-gether. Where a lot of other bands would just give up, for some rea-son, we don’t.”

After a year of writing and producing, Kill County couldn’t be more ready to release its new album, “Dust in Wire,” on April 15.

The band will play a special re-cord release show Saturday at the Zoo Bar alongside Manny Coon and the Spotlight Killers and Bone-heart Flannigan.

“‘Dust In Wire’ was the open-ing song in the album,” James said. “We’ve since changed the title of that song to ‘I-80 5am,’ but there’s a lyric that says, ‘It’s just dust wrapped in wire.’ To me, it just conjures up this idea of a stricken, barren landscape that’s wrapped in fence line. We just liked the image it brought up in all of our minds.”

James said he described the road to the new record as “a natu-ral process.”

“Our writing situation is a lit-tle different because Ringo writes about half the songs in Michigan,

and I write the other half in Texas, so we don’t really get to write to-gether,” he said. “We just send tapes back and forth of the stuff that we’re working on. I think, when it all comes together and we get to arrange the songs with the other guys, that’s when it really starts to develop.”

James said he hopes the sepa-ration helps, in a way.

“I think it makes the album less homogenous,” he said. “It gives it a wider variety of song structure ... makes our sound a little vaster.”

The band’s separation doesn’t hold back its writing, either, James said.

“There’s kind of a moment when I write something, or I hear something that Ringo’s written, and I can hear the whole band do-ing it,” James said. “I’ve played with these guys long enough and there’s enough musical trust built up that I can kind of hear what could be done to a song. So there are things that come out in songs that I get really excited about right away, because I can hear what it would sound like with the rest of them.”

Ringo said that the more the band grows, the more attached to the songwriting he gets.

“Josh is one of my favorite

songwriters, and he just happens to also be in my band,” he said. “I just love hearing his music and listening to how he’s evolving and what he’s writing about.”

As far as a direction for the al-bum, Ringo said they just let the songs decide where they were go-ing to go.

James said he was happy with the variety of material for “Dust in Wire.”

“The last song the album, ‘Black Moon,’ is one the best things we’ve ever done,” James said. “There’s also a song called ‘Hard Times,’ and I like that one, as well — it’s more of a full-band sound. But ‘Black Moon’ is one of the slowest songs we’ve ever done. I think those two really inform the sound of the record.”

Like its past records, the band completely produced this one on its own with a rented preamp, mi-crophones and a living room.

“It really provides us with a lot of freedom to work without having to pay by the hour in a stu-dio,” Ringo said. “There’s some advantages and drawbacks but for us, financially, that’s just the way we have to work. But it works out

Jon Dell and Jake Lampe were done with bullshit.

They had committed to a Chicago band with a supposed record deal with a major

label. Dell had quit his two jobs to focus on a project that smelled ripe with success, an aroma intensified by a manager full of sweet promises.

But promise after promise fell through, and the band went nowhere, along with the musi-cians’ plans for the immediate future. One night while plotting revenge on the silver-tongued si-ren, Lampe had an idea.

“Well, what we should do man, we should make up a fake band and ask her to manage us,”

Lampe said. “When she comes in, we’ll go out-side and f*** up her car, ‘Big Lebowski’ style.”

“What will our band name be?“ Dell asked.“Bonehart Flannigan and the Two-Ton Mouse

Trap.”

In high school, we drove every-where — especially high school, in the sprawl of West Omaha, full of right angles and subdivisions that all ended in Groves, Hills and Woods, despite the glaring lack of those topographical formations.

When you grow up in a cook-ie-cutter neighborhood, it’s easy to assume there’s some real mean-ing to the cookie. I remember zip-ping around, looking out of the corners of my eyes for a hidden message in the strip malls and the grocery store parking lots and the half-lit high school tracks. For much of it, driving just a bit out of the way was just something to do: to try and make sense of how, in all that suburban order, there wasn’t much sense.

At the end of school, though, it became important to me. At the end, the only soundtrack was Cat Stevens.

What exactly the title of my favorite Stevens’ 1971 release, “Tea for the Tillerman,” meant, I wasn’t sure. It sounded like a British colloquialism as much it sounded like something out of a parable: a common man who — from the look of album cover — could fall asleep under a fruit tree and awake to a revelation on the meaning of life itself. Looking up the possible definitions of “tiller-man,” he is a man who tills new ground or he steers a vehicle that would be wayward without him. Either analogy, for letting child-hood fall away and taking new direction, seemed appropriate.

My old connection between that summer of 2009 and the re-cord isn’t hard to draw. A Ste-vens record is experimental, not in its folk rock, but in the sense that each song reaches out with a question on life and then an an-swer that may only last for the next three or four minutes, or as much of the album as I could squeeze into a drive.

“On The Road to Find Out.” We were.

“Wild World.” We tried to get ready.

“Father and Son.” We were experiencing the beginnings of

complex and fluid relationships with our parents. We began to see them not as disciplinarians, but people who maybe got lost and settled for less in the same tumult we were about to experience. We saw ourselves raised lovingly by walking cautionary tales.

Now standing here on the verge of another graduation and another big change, I’ve chastised that summer in private and in public for a few years. How do you abide the kind of arrogance it takes to think your life is so spe-cial at 18? To think your ephemer-al anxiety is worthy of some kind of “Perks of Being a Wallflower” immortality. C’mon.

But “Tea For the Tillerman” spurred that on, highlighting what I thought was the value of a spiritual journey I was some-how going to undertake on I-80 between Omaha and Lincoln. I still love the record, but I take my old attachment and misreading of Stevens’ often theist questions to be a reminder that we grab mu-sic for certain moments. And not because of some calculated com-ponent in the songs, but because we love a good soundtrack for an autobiography (both adolescent and beyond).

I want to grab that kid by the shoulders and say, “You don’t get it. There was nothing so impor-tant about the summer of 2009. You don’t understand anything, especially Cat Stevens.”

For what it’s worth, I’m right. And still, there’s a way in which the high school wins out. And Cat, always an emblem of whim-sy, helps.

He says to me: Good luck not loving the old football bleachers, lakehouses and bonfires. Good luck forgetting when you wrong-ly thought “American Pie” was about you and your friends. Good luck thinking that knowing what you know now is somehow more beautiful than having once not known it. Than a Bruce Springs-teen party. Than the heads of hair you’ll never have again. Than your first car that’s scrap metal somewhere.

He says to me: good luck, grown-up, holding your ideas nearer than your ideals.

Walking Dead disappoints fans with season 3 finaleanDReW laRsen

dn

Apocalypse Now? An uneven third season of “Walking Dead” limps to the end.

After waiting through Decem-ber and January for their beloved zombie show to return from hiatus, blood-thirsty fans were greeted with a mixed bag of episodes to close out the back half of season three. “Clear” was one of the best episodes of television produced this year, but too many scenes con-jured up remnants of the mostly despised second season. Everyone knew there was a war coming be-tween the prison group and Wood-bury, so all the talking in circles and stalling leading up to it left millions counting down to the finale. Their reward for that patience was most-ly disappointment.

When a loyal viewer sits through lots and lots of talking about a battle only to not really see that battle in the season finale, get ready for endless message board posts. The Governor and his “army” from Woodbury do indeed charge into the prison, guns blazing, but it doesn’t take much effort at all for Rick and the gang to dispatch them. Everyone but the Governor and his best lapdogs tuck their tails and run, leaving the now totally unhinged leader no choice, in his deranged mind. The Governor’s slow descent into mad-ness reaches its sat-isfying nadir in the finale as he mows down many of his own people who he’d spent all season claiming to protect. The television version of The Gov-ernor, played by David Morrissey, has been softer and more ambigu-ous than the graphic novel version, as more of a fibbing politician than a sadistic killer. Now it’s just him and his two right-hand men, mak-ing the apocalypse’s most awk-ward road trip through the back-woods of Georgia.

One of the most noteworthy parts of the finale, surprisingly, was the continued evolution of Rick’s son, Carl. Next to Andrea and Lori, Carl’s been the most frustrating and oft complained about charac-ter on the show, but ever since he was brutally forced to put down his

mother after birth-ing complications, his character has gotten stronger. Be-fore, he seemed to be the main thing keeping the in-creasingly detached Rick tethered to sanity, acting as his moral guidepost.

Growing up in the zombie apoca-lypse can be tough on a youngster though, and Carl seems to be hard-ening by the minute. He shoots one of the Governor’s teenage soldiers after he was too slow to give up his gun, and then he chastises his fa-ther for being weak and not killing enough people. It seems as though without even hearing it, Carl has

taken the Governor’s ethos to heart.

“In this world, you either kill or you die. Or you die and then kill.”

Speaking of dying, Andrea fi-nally died! It’s not a good sign for a television show when one of the lynchpins of the season is bit, and the biggest umbrage taken from fans online is that we didn’t get to see her bit. Andrea has had a large role this season — much too large — acting as wannabe peacemaker between the Governor’s people in Woodbury and Rick’s group at the prison. Laurie Holden did a decent job sending her character off, but she’s been one of the weaker links on the show for a long time. To have her die off-screen for a few min-utes of suspense was an interesting choice, given that the show hasn’t shied away from showing more be-loved characters literally get torn to shreds.

Where the show has struggled throughout its run on developing the supporting characters, its done better at sussing out the more the-

matic elements latent with Andrew Lincoln’s Rick. This season’s finale was successful at wrapping up his arc of struggling with his morals and how to protect the group. In nearly every episode this season there’s been discussion of how no one can make it alone anymore, how the group needs each other more than ever, which was proven in the finale as Rick’s group main-tained its ground and The Governor slaughtered his. Rick was close to completely losing his last remnants of civilization, close to becoming an-other version of The Governor, cor-rupted by power and moral decay. Despite making some really poor choices throughout the season, such as almost giving up Michonne to the Governor (seriously), he seems to have made it to the other side and seen the light, which is solid for the group and the show.

“The Walking Dead” has always suggested there are two kinds of walking dead: the zombies we love to see killed in increasingly nasty ways and the humans who are tick-ing time bombs, awaiting their day with destiny. The third season was an improvement over the first two, but to be a transcendent show like its AMC brethren “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men,” it’ll have to be a lot more consistent with its treat-ment of the living than it is with the dead.

Nothing quite conjures the ire of good American subjectivists quite as effectively as proclaiming some form of art objectively good.

“The North Borders” is objec-tively good.

The new album from Bonobo – the electronic music project of UK producer Simon Green — is an exercise in electronic music perfec-tionism, adorned with vocal per-formances from Erykah Badu, Grey Reverend and the relatively un-known Szjerdene.

Yet already I am selling the al-bum short, because bundled in the predominate limited understand-ing of electronic music in the United States are expectations of unruly synthesizers, wobbling bass and a “drop” so simple that children think its silly.

“The North Borders” has none of these. It is filled with beautifully recorded strings, woodwinds and chimes expertly cut and arranged over deep polyrhythmic beats. It shows an acute awareness of the work of Pierre Schaffer, a founding fa-ther of modern electronic music, and creator of the style “Musique Con-crete.” Schaeffer worked to invent a classification system of sounds, and Green is quite obviously a student. Scheffer classified sounds into living elements (like voices), noises, pre-pared instruments and conventional instruments. The album is teeming with all of them.

Even the title, “The North Bor-ders” may be homage to Schaeffer, given this quote from an interview near the end of his life:

“I couldn’t get to music, what I call music. I think of myself as an explorer struggling to find a way through in the far north, but I wasn’t finding a way through.”

Green is taking up where Schaef-

fer left off with the advantage of cutting-edge technology, world-class collaboration and exceptional artistic insight. And where Schaeffer felt he couldn’t navigate the north passage, Green is sort of a Louis or Clark fig-ure.

The album begins with “First Fires” featuring Grey Reverend of Cinematic Orchestra. In the first minute of the song, you get atmo-spheric sounds with reverb enough to take you to a cathedral, and then are immediately brought to the foreground when the vocals and synth elements come in. Strings are used as prepared and conventional instruments, contributing textural elements, and eventually to the chord progression, combined with flutes, and effected with tremolo.

Even the individual sounds are manicured, legato sounds changing through time, and the staccato sounds of percussion always expressive (what Pierre Shaffer referred to as the “allures of the sound.”)

What Bonobo gains in the in-crease in attention to sound craft, he loses in the jazziness that de-fined much of his previous work. The loose and swinging rhythms are substituted for a more “London House” sound. But while said jazzi-ness set Bonobo’s music apart in the past, Green is more than adept in the new electronic style that pervades “The North Borders.”

R&B singer Szjerdene is a star of the album, making her presence felt alongside the likes of Erykah Badu. Her emergence continues Bonobo’s propensity for uncover-ing exceptional vocal talents (Bajka on “Days to Come” and Andrea Tri-ana on “Black Sands”). And though “Heaven For the Sinner,” featuring Badu, will likely bring more new listeners to the Bonobo camp, “Tran-sits” represents Green’s best collabo-ration since “Stay the Same” with

Andrea Triana.Ultimately, these factors com-

bine into the best complete album in Bonobo’s discography. “The North Borders” is full of music that is ob-jectively good in merit, process and results. Even if you don’t care for it, you are entitled to your opinion, so long as you know you are objec-tively wrong.

Schaeffer felt that he spent “40 years to conclude that nothing is possible outside DoReMi ... there is no progress,” and died in 1996, holding onto the cynical attitude that the world is not making prog-ress. In the same interview he was asked if there was a way through the far north he had desribed, “There is no way through. The way through is behind us.”

But it is in the very musicians he inspired, who continue to learn from his ideas and experiments, that good music continues to improve, that son-ically interesting compositions con-tinue to evolve and progress. “The North Borders” is one such record.

If Hitler had a daughter, what would she say?

Australia-based Monkey Baa Theatre Company will answer this question with their rendition of “Hitler ’s Daughter” at the Lied Center for Performing Arts this weekend. This production transi-tions between modern-day Aus-tralia and 1940s Nazi Germany while schoolgirl Anna tells the fic-tional story of Hitler ’s daughter.

The show poses many ques-tions, and the DN asked a few questions of its own of actor Gide-on Cordover.

Daily Nebraskan: How’s the traveling been treating you guys? Has the U.S. been good to you guys?

Gideon Cordover: It’s been extraordinary. Everywhere we’ve gone, people have been very wel-coming. What I like about travel-ing is getting the opportunity to witness the real American culture. We don’t hop on a plane and fly to and from each location to the other. We caravan through and hit each of the small towns in be-tween.

DN: Has there been any ex-perience while being here that you’ve particularly enjoyed?

GC: Well, there’s too many to count. I do have to say that this swing dancing you all have,

that’s very amusing. I’m not good at it at all, and I thought I would be able to pick up on it from the other people who were more ex-perienced at it, but near the end I stood off to the side so that I wouldn’t step on anyone’s toes.

DN: Yeah, I’ve tried swing dancing, too. Don’t worry, even some Americans have trouble with it.

GC: That’s good to know.DN: So, from your traveling ex-

perience with “Hitler’s Daughter,” do you prefer traveling shows or the ones that stay in a single loca-tion?

GC: I prefer traveling shows more. I feel that, for actors, it’s important to become adjusted with acting on different stages. Of course, you’ll be doing the same show but, for instance, the Lied Center stage is pretty big and a few weeks ago, we did a show at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis that was huge. It’s a matter of ad-justing not only the set, but exper-imenting with how to adjust your movement or voice on the stage.

DN: From there, let’s talk a bit about the show itself. In it, you play two different characters: Mark (a schoolboy) and a Nazi soldier. Did you have any dif-ficulties while trying to get into character for two such contrasting roles?

GC: I’m Jewish, so playing this was a particularly personal

experience for me. Putting on the swastika for particular scenes was — at times — physically revolt-ing. I was able though to draw parallels between the (soldier) and myself. I am 23 years old, and I can imagine that this soldier is around the same age as myself. I feel we both have an understanding of fear, anger and hate. As for Mark, who is just a boy, I know he is inno-cent and trying to make sense of the story Anna is telling him.

We did a lot of research into the roles and watched a few films and did some reading into the Ho-locaust to see how people reacted and acted towards these events. It helped me grasp a better under-standing of both the characters I portray, and it gave everyone on set a greater respect and sensitivity.

DN: What do you feel audienc-es will walk away with after having seen this performance?

GC: I believe they will walk away knowing they need to ask questions. We all value liberty and freedom, and the only way to make sure something like (the Holocaust) never happens again is to be informed and ask ques-tions. Although we know Hitler was this man who was the most evil man this world has seen, (the people at that time) were unable to see that, and it draws a lot of questions for us.

The show is very moving and is one of the more unique ones I

have worked on. It poses a lot of questions for the audience, but it doesn’t answer all of them. I hope they will enjoy it and be able to think of how they would person-ally answer the questions the play poses for them.

DN: Is there anything else about the show or your experi-ence with it that you’d want to add in before we go?

GC: While we’ve been travel-ing, I have been surprised by how many different types of cheeses you have. In Australia, we only

have two. The pepper jack cheese is completely new to me and so I’ve been trying as much as I can.

DN: Wow, how do you live with only two types of cheeses?

GC: I know, that’s why I’ve been trying to taste them all. And your French fries. In Australia we call them “chips” whereas if you ask for chips here in America, they give you ... chips. It’s utterly confusing.

this is

“anodyne” by uncle tupelo

my jam

Joe WaDedn

Once upon a time, if some-body wanted to clear out a bar room he or she would simply slip a couple coins into the jukebox for any song by Uncle Tupelo.

This band was one of the originators of the alt-coun-try genre and is, in part, the foundation for Wilco.

In 1993, Uncle Tupelo had its first major release with “Anodyne.” It was also the band’s final album. Alternative music in the early 1990s was enjoyed as the big trend, and Uncle Tupelo made its place as the alternative to the alter-native scene. Like a Neil Young guitar solo, the gui-tars were a little too loud and distorted for country music fans, while the vocals had too much twang for the pop scene. For a kid who wanted to be outside ev-erything that was in, it was like honey. Songs such as “New Madrid” and “Steal the Crumbs” displayed a visceral, poetic knack for songwriting. The music had a chemistry that blended punk elements, like the Sex

Pistols, with a Creedence Clearwater Revival flavor. It was the kind of band that might take “God Save the Queen,” slow it down and add a mandolin as well as a banjo.

By the spring of 1994 the creative minds behind the band, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, who had been friends since high school, parted ways because of a lack of song-writing sym-biosis. Imagine phrases such as “creative differences” or some other lame excuse to hide the hurt of being dumped. It seems that Farrar did the dumping and left to form his own band Son Volt. Tweedy and the remaining members renamed the band Wilco. The split spawned one of the most mysteri-ous rock ‘n’ roll feuds; the reason for the break-up has never been clear. Respec-tively, both bands that came out of Uncle Tupelo still create impressive material for fans to glean inspiration from, but it’s hard to outdo the original incarnation.

kill county: fRoM 5

Kids is to soul or punk. What did you mean by that? Do you still find it to be true?

NW: We were watching the Wilco documentary, and I think that they had taken a genre of music and made it their own in their own weird, quirky kind of way, modernizing it. (It was) soulful, punky style of music and to find ways to create something totally new out of it.

DN: Can we expect the same in the rest of “Dear Miss Lonely-hearts”?

NW: Yeah, I think so. By taking the different influences we have, but also just kind of doing what we do and not necessarily putting up with boundaries, it’s rock ‘n’ roll music. But at the same time, we’re always trying to make it sound like some-thing we’ve never quite heard before.

DN: What are some of those in-fluences that you’ve been taking in?

NW: There’s so much music between the four of us that we’re always taking it in. There’s some electronic music on this album, (in-fluenced by) Depeche Mode and New Order.

DN: “Robbers and Cowards” certainly began with some darker themes: death row and family is-sues and alcoholism and religion. “Loyalty to Loyalty” and “Mine Is Yours” are dark, too. What were the driving influences behind your songwriting on those albums?

NW: It comes naturally, from the stuff that I experienced and the kind of art, music, movies, literature that we’re all taking in.

DN: Anything specifically?NW: We love Terrence Malick

films, Paul Thomas Anderson films. We listen to a lot of David Bowie, his darker stuff. Influence comes from a lot of different places.

DN: What keeps bringing you back into the studio?

NW: I think it’s fun. After doing this for several years now. It’s work, but you have to keep asking your-self, “You know, does this still feel really urgent?” You know, you’re going in there not really knowing what’s going to come out, you just

feel compelled to go do it.DN: Nathan, you have an in-

credibly interesting voice. It’s high and clangy, yet raw and real. Did you have a lot of formal vocal train-ing when you were younger? Do you still?

NW: I’ve never had any voice lessons. Actually, in the last year that we were at home working on this record, I went to get voice and piano lessons at Silverlake Conser-vatory in L.A. It was fun and nice to learn how to properly use my voice, how to use warm-ups, having more control, learning not to lose my voice. It’s been great.

DN: Do you think that’s changed the sound on your new album?

NW: I think it’s changed it quite a bit actually. It’s made my voice stronger and the performances on the record are better because of it.

DN: The layering of instru-ments and vocals such an interest-ing characteristic in your music. The pianos and bass and guitar take turns weaving in and out and then they’re all there together with your voice, and then they’re gone again. It’s a cool technique. Is that an in-

tentional tactic, or does it just kind of happen as you’re putting songs together?

NW: It’s kind of both. The way that we play together, there’s natu-rally a lot of highs and lows, parts that are very restrained and then kind of spastic. It’s just something that we’ve always been drawn to.

DN: Does that layering come to-gether in your songwriting process? Do you have some music in mind when you’re writing lyrics, or do the words always come first?

NW: The music pretty much always comes first. We find some-thing that feels good, something that we’ve played to that everybody feels something unique in, and then I can find a vocal melody that feels good for me. The words come after.

DN: Since your formation in 2004, Cold War Kids has been through EPs and full albums, fes-tivals and a whole lot of touring. What’s kept you close as a band over the years?

NW: When we became a band, we didn’t know anything about how touring worked, how record labels worked, all that stuff. It was

just a fun thing to do. As we grew and went a tour and were whisked away by it all, I think the fact that we really love performing, we love travelling and we love music, keeps us coming back to (knowing that) this is what we want to do.

DN: Do you ever drive each other crazy?

NW: Of course. When you know somebody better than any other relationship and spend that much time with each other, you find ways to escape and also, to be a good friend. It’s a struggle, but it’s rewarding, too.

DN: What part of the music pro-cess do you enjoy the most? How do you interact on your breaks in between tours?

NW: Now I enjoy being in the studio the most. We’ve spent a lot of time touring and I think now we’re just scratching the surface of what we can do in the studio. We made this whole record; it’s homey, it’s ours and so, that’s definitely the most fun thing right now.

DN: You’ve been in Omaha several times now. What keeps you coming back?

NW: It’s a good music city, and we always have good shows there.

DN: What are you most looking forward to this year?

NW: I’m looking forward for people to get to hear the record and for us to get to play it. It’s a new season for us and (I’m most looking forward to) getting it all on tour.

artistically. I think it gives a nice, unique feel to the record.”

Kill County’s 2010 album, “The Year of Getting By,” was re-corded on an analog four-track, but this year the band went digi-tal.

“I think the production is a little better than past albums,” James said. “We spent a lot of time carefully evaluating what each song needed, even if it was something you might not pick up right away.”

The band also had a lot more time to record the album, a whole month as opposed to ‘The Year of Getting By,” which was done in

only 10 days.“I think now there’s more

focus with having Jon, Joe, Brad and Eric (Nyffeler) play on (the album),” James said. “We focused a lot on creating a soundscape that is sometimes behind the song itself. Sort of like an ambi-ent sound — it might just be one note that’s being held through the whole song. There’s more of a focus on creating a full sound around a particular song, as op-posed to just playing a song with a few instruments on it.”

Ringo said he wouldn’t have guessed four years ago that the band would still be together.

“We just have this commit-ment to the band and we’re just going to keep going as long as we can keep going,” he said. “I can’t imagine what life without Kill County would be like, but who knows what the future holds.”

Ringo said now that the band is together again in Lincoln, he’s excited to hear what other people get from the album.

“After all the time we’ve spent on this record and now it finally comes time to release it, I’m kind of sick of listening to it,” he said. “I love playing the music, but the idea of really ‘releasing’ a record is kind of a metaphor. You just have

to let it go and let the audience con-nect to it.”

song title questionsBonehart: fRoM 5

allison hess | dnJon dell, the lead singer of the bonehart Flannigan, sits in the Zoo bar monday night. dell has been a member of the band for more than four years.

“Why?”“Well, you’re Bonehart Flan-

nigan.”Dell had been offered a

nickname by a man who called himself “Reverend Gene Siz-zlechest,” and he took it. Lampe and Dell never exacted their ven-geance, but the name stuck. Since then, Dell books all his shows as Bonehart Flannigan. Sometimes there’s a band with him; some-times it’s a solo acoustic set. But it’s always the same folk-country ballad blend that’s distinctly Jon Dell.

Dell’s music career began when his mother signed him up for classical guitar at the age of 6.

“By the time I was old enough, she said I could quit if I wanted to,” Dell said, “But when I told her I wanted to do it for a living, she nearly shit a brick.”

Dell attended Wesleyan as a guitar major, but after a year he moved to Chica-go, where he worked at Reggie’s, a record store and music venue, and continued performing with various musicians.

But after he and Lampe were left band-less and unemployed, Dell fit his possessions in a back-pack, took a Megabus to Min-neapolis and hitchhiked back to Lincoln. And now, there’s no-

where else he’d rather be making music.

“I’ve almost never experi-enced a sense of community like I have here,” Dell said. “Honest-ly I kind of like that it’s not big — it doesn’t get a lot of national attention. It keeps it pure.”

Dell went back to Wesleyan to complete his bachelor’s in the-ater, a passion he said strongly influences his music perfor-mance.

“Theater’s always been my second love,” Dell said. “I love the business of show, I guess – storytelling – which is what orig-inally drew me to songwriting. Any sort of performance should

have a theatri-cal element to it, something visual that pulls you in.”

Dell has ample opportunity to ex-ercise that visual element as bassist for Lincoln’s rock enigma, Universe Contest, among whose members he is affectionately known as “Johnny Disco-beard.” But

the screaming, pounding glitter-fest that is a Universe Contest show is nothing like Dell’s solo style.

“There really aren’t any simi-larities at all,” Dell said. “It’s like night and day. Bonehart Flanni-gan is my own artistic expression and Universe Contest is really just a bunch of guys having fun.”

Bonehart Flannigan is classic country with a fearless guitar, lilting ballads and occasional ad-ditions of harmonica, fiddle and banjo. It is Dell telling stories at his most basic and most vulner-able.

“Some songs are deeply me, other songs are stories written in third person,” he said.

“And with country music, I’ve never felt like I was all that poetic, it’s just wearing your emotions on your sleeve.”

But that sleeve doesn’t need to be soaked in tears. Bonehart Flannigan’s country includes just as many rousing folk anthems as lonely tales of heartbreak.

“People should be able to tap their toes, laugh and have fun,” Dell said. “I go to the bar to for-get my troubles, not to take all of yours. It’s not a big look-at-me show. I see it as going town to the bar and telling a bunch of stories to my friends.”

Dell splits his free time be-tween touring and recording with both Universe Contest and another local collaboration, Man-ny Coon & the Spotlight Killers. The hectic pace means Dell’s full-length solo album doesn’t have any definite deadlines. Dell pulls double duty some nights, mixing folk and rock, sometimes in the same venue. But through it all, Dell is, and will continue to be, Bonehart Flannigan, the curi-ously ambiguous moniker that somehow just works.

football practice notes

spring game brings excitement for coaches

With the Red-White game this weekend, it’s no surprise the Nebraska football team is anxious to scrimmage in front of fans again.

Huskers defensive coordi-nator John Papuchis said he’s seen improvements in prac-tice by the Husker players and added he’s hoping to see it continue into this Saturday.

“If we keep taking strides, those little steps are going to add up obviously,” he said. “And come August 31 they’re going to pay dividends. Our goal, our mission is to get bet-ter every day … we got to keep doing that this week, this is a big week for us.”

And it’s not just the players who have the coaches excited to hit Memorial Stadium at the end of the week, Ross Els said.

According to the special teams and recruiting coordina-tor, the coaches are also look-ing forward to seeing future recruits this weekend, too.

“It’s good because if we can’t get them here for a game there’s two things we want to get them in here for,” Els be-gan. “Either we get them at the spring game … so if we have 40,000 to 60,000, they kind of look around like, wow, this is just for a scrimmage? We also have the experience room downstairs where they can see and kind of feel people coming in the stadium because that’s a

big sellout.”Unlike a regular season

game, the coaches will also be able to get more time with the future recruits before and af-ter the spring game, which Els said is a big plus.

“We will have more time with them,” he said. “Not only before the game but also after the game. We don’t have to get ready for another opponent, and we actually have a week in the office before we go out re-cruiting, so we’re able to spend time with them afterwards.

special teams shaping up

After losing kicker Brett Maher at the end of last sea-son because of graduation, the Huskers knew they had to fill a big hole left at the position.

So far this spring practice season, sophomore Mauro Bondi has appeared to be the one to fill that slot, Els said.

“Good leg as far as field goals are concerned,” he said. “That ball is really popping off his foot, you can hear it, and he’s getting great height on the ball.”

The special teams coordi-nator has also seen other Husk-ers step up on special teams as well.

“We feel like we have a lot of depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” Els said. “We have a lot of people that are possibilities, and we’ve been able to get a lot of guys with reps. That’ll kind of nar-

row those guys down and try to get a smaller pool so we can get that smaller pool taught.”

secondary rising to the occasion

On Saturday, the Nebraska players competed in Memorial Stadium for their second scrim-mage of the spring season.

Papuchis said he was pleased with the defense, espe-cially the safeties and corner-backs.

“Much improved,” he said. “Not an end product yet, but much better after the first time we scrimmaged. I thought the energy was better. I thought the enthusiasm was better, the effort was better. But I think that’s a by-product of knowing what you’re doing. It’s hard to play fast and enthusiastic when you’re not quite sure what you’re supposed to do.

One of the players he’s seen play with great athleticism as of late is Josh Mitchell.

The junior cornerback said he and his secondary team-mates have come along way from where they were when spring practices started.

“We have a lot of guys that are flying to the ball and do-ing their assignments,” Mitch-ell said. “Even if you do mess up, we’re trying to build that team motto of just running to the ball and flying around. So far it’s been working. And on Saturday we showed it.”

1. indiana (22-3 overall, 6-0 big ten)With indiana as the only ranked team in the big ten (ranked no. 18 in the coaches poll), the hoosiers are currently riding a school-record 15-game win streak and have a great first baseman, sam travis, who was named big ten player of the week after hitting .462 and driving in eight runs in last week-end’s series against iowa. he also helped contrib-ute to a 6-2 victory over no. 10 louisville. it’s the second time the sophomore has received the honor this season. 2. nebraska (11-15, 5-1)nebraska is not having the best of seasons. but the huskers had one of the toughest non-confer-ence schedules heading into big ten play, and it provided preparation for the adversity the team faced during the northwestern series. the team had to play another two games against the Wild-cats after a hectic 16-inning game last Friday night at hawks Field.3. michigan state (15-8, 2-1) the spartans started conference play on a strong note, taking a series against ohio state. the x-factor for michigan state for sunday’s 7-2 win was sophomore pitcher mick VanVossen, who was able to give his team his first career complete game to hold off the buckeyes on the road.4. ohio state (16-8, 4-2)after a strong outing against purdue in a three-game sweep, the buckeyes lost 2 out of 3 games in a hard-fought series against michigan state. the team is preparing for a road series against minnesota in its next big ten series and look to improve on a conference record that was 13-11 last season.5. minnesota (17-12, 2-1)For the Gophers, it was the pitching staff that helped the team take a three game series against michigan in ann arbor. the most nota-ble contribution came from junior left-hander tom Windle, who threw 103 pitches and had his fourth straight complete game in a 3-1 win against the Wolverines. Windle also earned the honor of big ten pitcher of the week. the Go-phers will play south dakota state before con-tinuing big ten play against ohio state.

6. illinois (17-7, 1-2)the Fighting illini fell to nebraska in its first big ten series, only winning one of the three games against the huskers. this weekend, illinois must face indi-ana to end the team’s toughest stretch in big ten conference play. before the border-rivals face off against each other, the illinois baseball team will be provided with a great atmosphere facing missouri at busch stadium in st. louis.7. purdue (10-14, 3-3)after suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of ohio state, purdue bounced back by getting a sweep against penn state. the boilermakers regis-tered 18 runs in the series. now the team prepares for a home series against northwestern, which has also had similar misfortunes in conference play. 8. michigan(11-14, 1-2)the Wolverines future seems the most uncertain heading into conference play. the team lost two out of three games in a series with minnesota, only registering one run in both of those matchups, and the one win the team had in the series was an 11-3 win against the Gophers. this week michigan faces in-state rival michigan state, which should provide some familiarity for the Wolverines.9. northwestern (10-9, 2-4)From the series with nebraska, there were a lot more negatives than positives the Wildcat team took home. the team fell short after a long outing Friday night where nebraska came out on top with a 10-9 win. a positive thing the team can chalk up is that it was back and forth throughout the game, and husker player pat kelly, who has been hitting over .300 for most of the season, went 0-9 that night, 10. iowa (9-13, 1-5)beginning conference play for iowa hasn’t been easy. the hawkeyes began with a series with only one game win against northwestern and then were swept by indiana. this week they look to bounce back in a home series against nebraska. 11. penn state (5-18, 0-6)When will this penn state team earn its first con-ference win of the season? the nittany lions were swept by both indiana and purdue. the team will get a break from conference play and will host Wright state, kent state and bucknell before going back on the road to face michigan.

one of the more successful teams in college football.

Also, when you consider at least three of the Huskers’ four opening games each season should be “gimmies,” nine games doesn’t sound so impressive, does it?

I’m not here saying that Ne-braska’s football program is in a bad place by any means. I’m say-ing that Nebraska has not made the jump to a top-tier program in the past five years, unlike the nine-win stat indicates. And I’m not the only one who thinks that.

On March 27, Scott Van Pelt

and Ryen Russiollo discussed, on their radio segment, which college team they thought had the most delusional fan base in the country.

Russiollo’s pick: Nebraska.“What they’ve done recently,”

Russiollo said, “and who they think they are; I think there’s a mas-sive gap there.”

Russiollo and Van Pelt talked a lot about how Nebraska came into the Big Ten a little arrogant.

“When Nebraska left the Big 12 to go to the Big Ten, you can’t possibly imagine that this is how it would have gone the last two

years,” Russiollo said.Not many Nebraska fans, play-

ers or analysts imagined how the first two years in the new confer-ence would go.

Bottom line, Nebraska has a traditionally strong program. But right now, Husker fans have be-come satisfied with a team that can’t make the jump to an elite level.

After a pair of Big Ten series wins, the Nebraska baseball team (11-15 overall, 5-1 Big Ten) sits a game behind Indiana (22-3, 6-0) in the conference standings. The Husk-ers and Hoosiers — the favorites to take the conference title — each swept their opponents during the weekend, leaving the teams in a tight race.

Nebraska will face Indiana the first weekend of May, but between then and now, the battle is on for conference supremacy. The Husk-ers, in particular, need to win the league if they want to reach the postseason. After going 6-14 to open the season, there isn’t much hope of earning an at-large big win.

Off to a good start, Nebraska is focused on the conference season and getting all of its parts aligned in time to make a run in the Big Ten tournament. Offen-sively, the Huskers are starting to come around, according to coach Darin Erstad.

“Guys are sticking with the approach, taking line drives the other way,” he said. “And those are just going to build confidence for the future.”

Some might argue the team is playing better after seeing softer-throwing pitchers the last couple weekends in the Big Ten, but Er-stad said he doesn’t buy that.

“They had some pretty darn good pitchers, some guys with good velocity and good off-speed stuff,” the coach said. “At the end of our Southern California road trip we got some things going, and we’ve taken them forward.”

Bunt hits have been a huge part of the Husker attack in re-cent weeks. Rich Sanguinetti, Chad Christensen and Michael Pritchard each laid one down over the weekend.

“That’s kind of our game,” sophomore second baseman Pat Kelly said. “When we are swinging it well and dropping down bunt hits, that’s when we are playing well and winning games.”

With the offense making strides, the next step for Nebras-ka is getting the pitching staff sorted out. The Huskers have used the same three weekend starters all season, and Dylan Vogt looks like he is entrenched at the closer role, but none of

those players have been overly impressive. Er-stad is looking for more.

“Vogt and (Josh) Roeder have done a really nice job out there,” he said. “And (Aaron) Bummer, I thought, has thrown the ball

well, and Tyler King has thrown the ball well. Other than that, we’ve got some work to do.”

The bullpen saved Nebraska Friday night, throwing over 11 of the 16 innings and allowing only two runs. It’s going to take more efforts like that for the Huskers to win the Big Ten, Erstad said.

“We are going to need a little more depth than that, not to men-tion some starters that are going to get people out and get a little deeper into games,” the coach

said. “We still have a lot of issues we have to deal with.”

Issues or not, the Huskers are off to a 5-1 start and are in posi-

tion to compete. They are trying to keep everything in their own hands.

“You control what you can

control,” Erstad said. “Offen-sively, we put the ball in play and put pressure on people. On the mound, we throw strikes and

don’t hit people. Minimize the mistakes.”

The inevitable finally happened. The unavoidable moment Ne-

braska basketball fans hoped to prolong as much as they could, has finally hit: Lindsey Moore’s basketball career as a Husker is over.

Nebraska (25-9) put up a fight against No. 2-seed Duke (33-2) Sun-day, but the Blue Devils were just too strong. With the 53-45 loss to Duke in the Sweet Sixteen, Nebras-ka’s historic sea-son has come to a close, followed closely by Moore’s historic career.

She finished her final game with 11 points, five rebounds and six assists, pushing her already impressive career numbers even higher. Her six assists put her at 699 on her career, breaking Meg-gan Yedsena’s (1991-94) record of 696. Her 94 wins stand alone at the top as the most wins by a Husker. She started all 132 games

in her career, a school record. What Moore gave the program may never be matched again.

But Moore’s presence on court wasn’t what got Nebraska to the Sweet Sixteen. It was a team ef-fort, as she was quick to tell re-porters before the game Sunday.

“Everyone’s been playing re-ally well for us, so it not like it’s just been solely dependent on me and how I perform,” Moore said.

And now the Huskers will have to do something they haven’t done in four years: pre-pare for a season without Moore.

But that may not be as hard as some may think.

Coach Connie Yori has preached all season how young her team is.

“We’re still young,” Yori said in her press confer-ence Sunday. “We start a freshman, two sophomores and a junior.”

But those four players started al-most every game

this season, and Emily Cady, Hailie Sample and Jordan Hooper have started 66 games with each other.

“We have had some continu-ity,” Yori said. “Because of that, we understand what we are look-ing for and understand our com-munication system.”

Though chemistry on the court without Moore may be bent,

it won’t be broken.With Moore out at guard,

freshman Rachel Theirot will now be the primary ball handler next year. But Yori isn’t too worried. According to her, Theriot is un-like any other point guard she’s coached and is optimistic for her future.

Theriot has big shoes to fill, but if anyone can do it, Yori be-lieves Theirot is right for the job.

A main recipe for Nebraska’s success this year was defense, just another thing coaches and players have attributed to a team effort.

“I would have taken 53,” Yori said of Duke’s point total. “I mean, giving up 53 against Duke when they average 75? We did a lot of things right.”

If anything, the defensive ef-fort on Nebraska’s behalf Sun-day, and throughout the year, proves the team wasn’t a fluke. The Huskers held three straight teams to season lows in points in February, something that doesn’t happen because of one person.

As much as Nebraska will miss Moore’s production and leadership next year, a run like it had this year (finishing second in the Big Ten and a Sweet Sixteen appearance) wouldn’t be out of the question for next season with the amount of firepower coming back.

Moore’s presence may be gone, but Nebraska women’s bas-ketball is not.

The Nebraska men’s golf team struggled today in the open-ing two rounds of the ASU Red Wolf Intercollegiate in Jones-boro, Ark. The Huskers cur-rently sit at 19th place. Austin Peay State is the only team thus far to shoot above par; it leads the field of 20 teams at -2.

Junior Manuel Lavin and freshman Kolton Lapa lead the

way for the Huskers and are tied for 53rd in the individual standings.

The remaining three Huskers have all struggled thus far. Jordan Reinertson shot a +12 through the first round but has battled back in the second round. He currently sits at -2 a little more than half-way through the sec-ond round.

Matt Record shot an over-all +15 on the day, while senior Neil Dufford sits at +17 for the

day.Marco Iten and

Anthony Brad-ley, both of Austin Peay State Univer-sity, lead the tourna-ment, shooting -4.

The Huskers have been strong in the spring this sea-son, finishing in the top 10 in all three of its tournaments. The team will need a strong performance

in the upcoming rounds to keep the streak alive.

pass defense ranked fourth in the nation, but a 92nd-ranked run de-fense doomed them. In 2009, Ne-braska led the country in scoring defense, allowing only 10 points per game – but the Huskers only averaged a 75th-ranked 25 points per game themselves. The previ-ous season, the opposite was true: Nebraska was 17th in scoring of-fense, but 81st in scoring defense.

The Huskers’ best combina-tion of those two statistics came in 2010, with a ninth-ranked de-fense and a 38th-ranked offense, when they started 5-0 and reached No. 4 in the national rankings be-fore losing three of their last four games.

That season’s Big 12 Champi-onship loss to Oklahoma started a five-game postseason losing streak.

Quick – think of the last time that happened.
