CP Party CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 help of donations from local businesses, will be giving prizes to students who pick the most winners correctly out of the different categories. “We’re going to have ballots for each person to fill out, so that they can vote for who they think is going to win... we’re going to have prizes for the people who get the most correct, and we’re also having door prizes. The prizes are donations from local businesses and include dinners, gift certificates and merchandise,” said Brandon Szmidt, CP’s traditional events Commissioner. USC’s Oscar Party tradition started in 1994, but .until this year, the last time CP arranged it was in 1999. “We’ve had as many as 32 businesses contribute prizes, including CDs, a dinner for two at Diane’s on Divine, etc,” Szmidt said. “This year we’ve contacted 52 different businesses to try to get more prizes.” The event starts at 7 p.m. with the broadcast of the red carpet showcase. “The red carpet showcase is where the press interviews celebrities as they arrive,” Szmidt said. “We’ll be showing that while everyone is filling out the ballots. At 8 o’clock, the actual awards start.” “We’re going to have tables and chairs, and the ballroom will be decorated like an upscale event—like the Academy Awards are on TV,” Szmidt said. CP invites students to munch on free snacks and beverages as the Oscars are broadcast on a bigscreen television, but CP prefers students don’t wear evening attire. “It’s going to be casual... we don’t want anyone to dress up unless they really want to,” Szmidt said. Drama queens and kings, don’t forget those speeches. But leave the evening gowns at home.

It’s taken a while, but Elf Power’s sixth album, “Creatures”, is finally getting mainstream attention. The band has been touring Europe and are now back in the States. Elf Power’s style lies somewhere between Weezer and Bob Dylan. If that’s too broad, you can call them “Power Wallflowers. ” Their lyrics are deeply poetic, with spacious melodies and many acoustic based songs. Elf Power is definitely not the ghastly “I’m depressed, you’re depressed, so I might as well make money off of our depression” type of music that is unfortunately popular right now. It’s not exactly the type of band you’ll bring to listen to on a jog either. Its sound on “Creatures” is very passive. Put the CD on, sing along and engage yourself in other things. The music doesn’t require active u listening, but it won’t put you to sleep either. * Creatures is a widely diverse album. The vocal melody is the star of most of the songs, and it’s also the savior of some of the more lackluster songs. The first song, “Let the Serpent Sleep,” is fittingly the best track on the album. It’s also the best representation of the band’s sound. “Let the Serpent Sleep,” along with “ Visions of the Sea” and “The Creature Part H” are songs that make Elf Power comparable to the giants of mainstream folk rock music. “Everlasting Scream,” “Palace of the Lambs” and “The Haze” represent the more pop-punk style of Elf Power. As with the other songs;0 it’s not the complex song structure that makes them good, it’s the melody. “The Creature,” “Things That Should Not Be” and “Three Steps” possibly foreshadow the popularity that may be coming to Elf Power. The songs are very similar to the rock style of The Strokes, who is currently residing high on the Billboard charts. Laura Carter, the keyboardist, plays an accordion on the songs “The Modern Mind,” “Unseen Hand” and “Three Seeds,” making the band fit into the folk rock niche even better. For the most part though, guitarist Adrian Finch, drummer Aaron Wegelin, bassist/singer Andrew Rieger and Laura Carter have developed a song writing technique that yields very similar songs from a variety of styles. What’s the best thing about “Creatures”? It’s not bogged down with love songs! Although some lyrics may be interpreted to be about love, on the surface, most of the songs are not. Part of what adds to the music is poetry is what the songs actually do represent instead of love. “The Haze” may be the only song on the album clearly about love but, overall, their songs are happier and much more thought provoking than most popular music. Elf Power is touring hard and could be huge with the corporate promoting power of a mainstream label. The group will be at New Brooklyn Tavern on Saturday night with My Mourning Jacket and Swearing at Motorists. 1 Comments on this story?E-mail gamemckmixeditor@fiotmail.com
