PHOTO COURTESY OF BETHANY DWYER New York singer-songwriter Jim Bianco takes his listeners through an emotional journey starting with sex-preoccupied man and progressing to his feelings of love and loneliness. He will be playing at Jammin’Java Tuesday night with Adam Whiting. ■ STYLE Continued from page 7 foundation, you can wear something more colorful on top.” Look for neutral-colored pants with a little flair. “You can do a navy pant — a neutral color — with a pinstripe ... a lighter blue pinstripe, for example. You can take your cue from the pinstripe, and maybe wear a light blue sweater or shirt. You have to take your cues (for compiling outfits) from the garment itself. Maybe it’s a windowpane pant with a little red in it. Look for a red shirt or sweater to match.” Buy business suits with mixing and matching already in mind. “The idea of breaking up a suit is so easy to do. Get a neutral suit; get it tailored to fit you. And simply take your cues and wear the pants with a nice colorful sweater. Take the jacket and wear it with nice jeans and a T-shirt.” Make your fabric patterns complement rather than clash with one another. “Women have a little more difficulty than men, because there’s so much more color and pattern out there. They’re more likely to buy something really colorful on the bottom and then have a tough time finding a good top to match. Guys have a tough time mixing and matching pattern, period. The thing for guys I I to learn is you want one pattern to be more dominant than the other. If you wear a pinstripe on the bottom, you can do a bold check on the top.” Be bright. “Every single designer showed bright colors (during New York’s fashion week). I think aqua is a great color for guys, like a turquoise. It’s a color most guys are really comfortable with and should try to wear in really bold solid shirts.” Go preppy. “Try something like a ‘Great Gatsby’ look, something like a cable-knit deep-V neck sweater with contrasting trim.” Rough it. “A great denim blazer would, also be good this spring, to sort of dress down a nice outfit from the top down. And then there is the safari-looking jacket with pockets on the front of the chest.” Air out your feet. “The average guy might not wear a sandal, but a safari-looking sandal, leather with lots of hardware, would be a good item.” Jazz up your jacket. “A favorite look of mine is pocket squares. They add a little bit of elegance, a little pizzazz to a sport coat.” Don’t waist your midsection. “The bold belt buckle is continuing for men. Get yourself a nice thick belt and bold buckle for casual looks, in jeans, etc.” Cover your eyes. “The aviator sunglasses — not going away. It’s such a classic look for guys.” ■ BIANCO Continued from page 7 perfectly with Bianco’s rasp; the listener can just picture him sitting in a smoky bar, singing this song with a cigarette in his hand. The title track also starts the unusual instrumentation prevalent on the rest of the album, using different percussion sounds, clarinet and trumpet. As the album plays, an emotional progression can be heard. The libido-fueled man takes a cold shower and admits to his mistakes in “Sorry”. He hopes he can change, but the emotional journey hasn’t traveled too far away from the original “player” mentality. He confesses that he is “like a child, I know... I’ll make it up to you / yeah, you’re right, it’s true / I probably won’t.” The journey continues as the “Handsome Devil” first introduced has evolved into a sensitive character, filled with love, longing and loneliness on “River Waltz,” “More Hands” and “Ready or Not.” Bianco’s Berldee piano training is evident on “More Hands” while he receives aid on other tracks from Gary Jules of “Mad World” fame. “Handsome Devil” can be bought in California or from Bianco’s Web site, www.jimbianco.com, but USC students and Columbia residents will have the unique opportunity to see Bianco perform Tuesday. He will be at Jammin’ Java with Adam Whiting. The pay-what-you-want show starts at 8 p.m. Comments on this story ?

Who knows what to expect? Not only will some of these merry-makers move on to “Saturday Night Live” or its less sexy sister “Mad TV” when they bid adieu to Second City, but you never know when one of them might have the chance to work with a talent like Mac himself. And to say you saw them before they were big. Well, that’s just something special nr - that you can brag to your kids about one day. What the audience can also expect is Second City’s infamously racy topics. Featuring hilariously witty satire and cutting edge improvisation, no subject is taboo when Second City is involved. So, any subjects your mother and father would threaten to send you away from the dinner table for using will in all likelihood be a topic of discussion here. Of course, teary eyes and cramped stomachs can be “ --1 expected as well, as the laughter will be never-ending. And for once it will finally be appropriate to laugh at somebody else.

Tickets can be purchased at the Russell House Information Desk or at any Capital Ticket Outlet. For more information, call Kyle Bonham at 777- 7130. Comments on this story?
