cannonball, issue 3
DESCRIPTION
The long-awaited third issue.TRANSCRIPT
YES, WE’RE STILL HERE. Hey, it’s been a while. We arrived on the scene all shiny and eager to
please, and then Year 12 came down on most of us like a tonne of bricks
(oh wait, that was just our Chem homework...). For a moment, it was like
that scene in Revenge of the Sith where the newly christened Darth Vader
seemed destined for a slow, ignominious death, only to be rescued at the
last minute by the Sith Lord. Alright, so it wasn’t really like that at all, we
just got a little lazy – but I’m hardly one to turn down the opportunity to
make a Star Wars reference, however tenuously relevant1. Vader is, after
all – to employ the vernacular of generations past – one cool “seemingly-
irredeemably-evil-but-who-turns-out-to-be-good-in-the-end-when-he-
saves-Luke-from-Palpatine” cat.
But I digress. I’ll stop now, since I know you’ve all just been waiting with
bated breath for the return of Jury’sdiction. We even put it on the very first
page so that you wouldn’t have to flick through that sea of other material
we forced an infinite number of monkeys locked in a room with
typewriters to bang out and claimed as our own – the Eddy Current
Suppression Ring interview, the paean to the most important Lady in all
our lives (hint – starts with a “G” and ends with “aga”), the glorious
reminiscence of past Ignatius sporting triumphs, the images our resident
photog extraordinaire took at the Fair while you were too busy trying not
to barf up your lunch on the Wipe Out (holla, J-Cui). It’s no Hamlet, but it’ll
have to suffice. And don’t forget – the sooner you sign up to contribute to
CB, the sooner we can retire those monkeys to the glue factory!

Top 10 Moments in Ignatius
Sport (Insofar As We Can Recall)
by Camilla Trenerry
1. Intercol, 2009 – there has been no better moment in Ignatius sport – at least
with which current students would be familiar – than when we secured our
first ever overall Intercol trophy. The impressive margin (16-5) made our
inaugural victory that much sweeter.
2. Chess, 2008 – winning the Shield for best chess team in the SA Schools
Competition – with PAC and Saints having to relinquish their titles as the only
teams to have won it in 4 decades – reinforced the status of chess as one of our
school’s most successful cocurricular teams.
3. Cross Country, 2009 – winning the Ekiden relay after years of coming last felt
good; breaking the record (previously held by Mercedes) felt even better.
4. Jesuit Basketball, 2009 – after losing at the buzzer the previous year, we
came back and made it 2/3, winning in front of a home crowd.
5. First XVIII Football, 2007 – beating St. Michaels by a point playing away in a
hard fought windy match capped off a great season, which saw Iggies finish
11-1. It was the first win against St. Michaels in approximately 30 years.
6. Senior B Boys’ Soccer Intercol, 2009– it came down to the last penalty, and
Ignatius pulled through. The ensuing pandemonium was unforgettable.
7. Senior A Softball Premiership, 2009 – perhaps our best (but among the
most under rated – for the other, refer to 2.) sport, our Senior A Softball team
won yet another premiership, beating Mercedes despite having no substitutes.
8. Senior A Netball Intercol, 2009 – in a very physical game that went into
overtime, we made it 4 shields out of 5 with a 19-17 win. On a similar
triumphant note, the Senior B team also won in overtime, 30-25.
9. Senior A Girls’ Soccer, 2009 – clinched the minor premiership with an
excellent win against Loreto (despite lacking one of our best players). It was
the first minor premiership for girls’ soccer.
10. Debating, 2009 – anticipating defeat, the Ignatius A-Grade side
prepared nervously to lock horns with long-time rivals Seymour in a secret
topic debate. However, we managed to pull off a narrow victory which
lingered in the general consciousness for a whole week or so after.
I’d Rather Do It
with Lady Gaga by Alberto Di Troia
Is Lady Gaga the first real popular music icon of the 21st Century? After a decade-
long parade of pop starlets, she is the first to actually have a recognisable and
unique vision for what she presents to her audience.
Her rise from Just Dance’s kooky pop mouthpiece to serious artist and entertainer
has been meteoric. When did we start realising that there was more to Gaga than the
vibrant pop, the surprising sexual double entendres? Was it at the MTV Awards
performance of Paparazzi, where fake blood spurted from her stomach and face as
she dangled one-armed from the ceiling? Was it the release of the epic Bad Romance
and its accompanying, monster-mashing film clip?
It is worth noting that underneath the outrageous sets and costuming Gaga is
actually a very, very good musician and performer. Not only does she write
everything she performs, she actually sings live, and sings very well too, which is
especially remarkable considering her intensely choreographed routine. She knows
her way around a keyboard, too (even if it’s sometimes disguised as a sink, the lovely
Lady herself perched atop a toilet); check out her solo performance of Speechless at
the VEVO opening if you want a prime example.
Yet music is only part of the show – she furnishes her songs with extravagant,
provocative and impeccably directed film clips, which are less promotional pieces
than polemic statements based on her stylistic ideals. Gaga has worked hard to
construct and maintain an image for herself, and fashion is a large part of that. And
while such doozies as the Kermit the Frog jacket and matching headband have been
dismissed as headline-grabbers, Gaga has rejected the perception “that I am artificial
and attention-seeking, when the truth is that every bit of me is devoted to love and
art.”
What has influenced the growth of such a unique performer? Surely Gaga’s
experience on the New York club scene was a defining period. Artistically, the most
obvious comparison is with Madonna, that other great doyenne of chameleon-like
style and the constant rotation of musical ideas. But Gaga’s real cultural ancestors
are more people like David Bowie and Andy Warhol, shock-artists who lived their
concepts and shape-shifted ideas as beliefs, who started or were at the head of mass
cultural movements.
And while Gaga is yet to start a revolution, she is already in a safer place popularity-
wise than many of her contemporaries, whose inability to remain fresh and relevant
have led to the slow death of their careers. Britney Spears’ short-lived musical
resurrection ended when everyone realised once and for all that the girl couldn’t
actually sing, while Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani are missing in action. Only
Beyoncé is really capable of matching Gaga’s star power, and even she looked a little
uncomfortable in the Telephone film clip.
Gaga is able to mould and shift around a changing fan base, independent of the
tweens dancing to her film clips and then discarding her for the next video hit. She is
respected by even the coolest listeners, who are attracted to the sheer spectacle of
her performance, the excellent song writing and the anomaly of a genuinely freaky
mainstream performer.
This girl is changing the face of pop music, and creating a position for herself as the
biggest cultural icon of the new millennium so far. Coco Chanel once said that ‘in
order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.’ Lady Gaga is both.
A Day in the Life of a Danoz Direct Addict by Roger Parnis
6:04 am:
The man on the television is selling something called PediPaws© today. It’s a special
nail clipper that gives dogs pedicures! It was only three easy payments of $19.95 and
because I paid by credit card I will get this nifty towel to go with it as well. It’ll be so
handy if I ever get over my allergy to dog hair.
7:00 am:
Daily routine. Showered, applied Slim Ice©
Body Gel and sprayed on the Firming Lotion
(it’s supposed to make me lose weight by
freezing the fat off my body. It says it works
in 30 minutes but I’ve been using it for days
and all I’ve got is a nasty rash... will persist),
used my PedEgg©, then brushed my teeth
with my Klear Activ Whitening Light©. All I
have to do is shine this light on my teeth and
my teeth are clean, just like magic. I think it
has something to do with radiation or something like that. It hurts a bit, but think of
how much I’ll save on toothpaste!
11:34 am:
The most exciting part of the day: my Danoz goodies arrived! Today I got a new
CardioTwister©, a machine for making enormous cupcakes (25 times bigger than
normal cupcakes!!!), a Swivel Sweeper G2© and another pair of Slim N Lift Jeans©.
They squish all my fat up to the top so it looks like I’m really skinny! It sometimes
cuts off the circulation to my legs and one time I passed out, but it really works! Got
to go, they take a little while to get into.
In my mind, there is only life post-
PedEgg©; nothing before.
How is such a man to be denied??
1:23 pm:
While I was preparing lunch, my AeroGarden©
(for growing fresh herbs, salad greens and
more right on my kitchen bench) exploded! It
caused a horrible mess, cherry tomatoes were
all over the floor and it was muddy from the
water and dirt mixed together. Not to worry,
my trusty ShamWow© was on hand to clear up
the mess.
3:16 pm:
They are making Designer Snuggies©! Instead of
the boring old red and blue, they are now making Snuggies© in leopard and zebra
print! Of course, I’ve pre-ordered two. It’s just as well, because I always thought
Snuggies© looked a bit silly. Once, I was even laughed at when I went shopping in my
Snuggie©! But now that they’ve got these stylish
prints, I can wear them everywhere without
shame!
6:53 pm:
Cooked dinner with my Mr T Flavorwave
Oven©. It’s so amazing, it uses some sort of
infra-red technology to cook the meat from the
inside out. It leaves a funny aftertaste but hey,
it’s Mr T!
7:30pm:
The end to another exciting day! I embrace myself in my
warm Snuggie© and watch NCIS and various other crime
shows, waiting patiently for the late night infomercials. I
can’t wait!
11:37pm:
Just when I thought Snuggies© couldn’t get any better...
they’re making Snuggies© for Kids! I’ve already ordered
some for when I have kids some day... still waiting for Mr
Right.
My AeroGarden in a happier, more
prosperous time.
Someday soon...
The Theory of Predictable Unpredictability
by Lawrence Ben
Uno. It’s the game that we bring out to end the irritating sessions of “I spy with my
little eye…” on those seemingly endless car trips and which you can always trust
your best mate Billy to brought along for those more tedious moments on school
camps. However, aside from the fond memories we have of the game, how can we
apply the principles of Uno to our lives in order to gain a deeper meaning and
understanding of which path we should follow in life?
The Theory of Predictable Unpredictability – more commonly known as the Uno
Theory, most easily simplified as “Lift yourself up off the couch and take some risks
you lazy...” – entirely based around one hypothetical scenario from a game of Uno.
The scenario is as follows: you have a hand of six cards. Five of those cards are Blue
& one is a Green 3. When a Blue 3 is revealed do you continue to place down Blue
cards or change the colour to Green? Do you continue to follow the status quo in
order to simply relieve yourself of Blue cards or do you take a risk and change the
colour to Green?
The theory’s most dedicated advocate is Christian Pagliaro. Over a number of years
he has exercised the Uno Theory with resounding success, not merely playing but
smashing that Green card. For example, in late 2009 the opportunity arose to host an
Oxford Uni student, Tom Curran. Seeing this as a chance to forge a new friendship,
Christian decided to host Tom & hasn’t regretted it since.
Furthermore, Christian & Henry DePoi decided to that they wanted to acquire their
boat licenses. Henry is also applying for his gun license & is currently assessing his
options with regard to various other licenses, with the options of helicopter, forklift
truck or minibus licenses looking to be strong possibilities in the future. Alex
Thorpe’s participation in baseball and American football are standout examples. Due
to his application of the Theory he is now being considered for selection in the state
and national American football sides. This can all be attributed to his initial
application of the Uno Theory.
The theory can easily be applied to any aspect of your life. Take the opportunity to
take up debating, play school rugby or apply for an interstate uni as opposed to
placing down the Blue card and taking the path of least resistance. The theory is far
isn’t restrictive in its application or understanding. When faced with an opportunity
or a difficult decision use the theory to aid you in your choice; take a risk and reap
the benefits.
The F Word by Yen Pham
I’ll make it clear now that the intention of this article is to call for a more liberal
usage of the F word. I use it regularly myself, and, quite frankly, I don’t understand
at all how it came to have such offensive connotations.
By the F word, of course, I mean feminism.
What does the word suggest? For many, the old stereotype rears its quite literally
ugly head – the unattractive, embittered lesbian whose distaste for men is
superseded only by that for shaving. The association is so ingrained that even I, a
self-identified feminist, find the same caricature involuntarily called to mind. The
connotations attached to the word aren’t much better than those attached to that
other F-word. When the most durable image of feminism in the public consciousness
is so grotesque, it is hardly surprising that many are in no hurry to be identified as
proponents.
And I, for one, couldn’t blame them. Modern-day feminism, it would sometimes
seem, is an exercise in masochism – an innocent mistake that starts with a musty
copy of The Feminine Mystique on a rainy afternoon but ends soon enough with the
alienation of dinner party companions and being labelled a humourless harpy. In
this vein, I’m sure there are those who would dismiss my passion for feminism as
little more than a phase or youthful fad, not indistinct from the year I spent as a child
aspiring to marry a Backstreet Boy and build the world’s largest collection of Tazos.
And what does it matter that feminists are supposedly an endangered breed in the
throes of a drawn-out death? What use is there for feminism anyway? For as long as
I can remember, one has been able to count on a newspaper editorial and the
occasional blog post every now and then proclaiming that, for better or worse,
feminism is dead. If one takes them at face value, feminism has been dead for a very
long time and the regular basis on which the media insists on rehashing the whole
business becomes a little absurd; old Italian women don’t grieve like this. The media,
can never quite agree on the cause of death – some say redundancy: feminism has
achieved its goals, and we can all live happily and equally ever after. Others say that
feminism has achieved as much as it can, and any sexism which remains is an
inevitable and inalterable part of life. But I reject the notion that feminism is dead,
either because it is no longer necessary or because equality, beyond giving women
the right to vote and pursue their own careers, is ultimately impossible. Feminism is
as pertinent as ever, just in ways more subtle than we’re accustomed to identifying.
There is no doubt that it has won many battles; the fact that, for example, women
are not only permitted but encouraged to seek education and make their own career
choices is important. The fact that women can participate readily in the democratic
process and that the Deputy Prime Minister is a woman is important. But we cannot
let the triumphs distract us from the fact that there is still work to be done – work
that needs a society no longer afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Because when nearly all the political power brokers of almost every nation are still
men, we still need feminism. When a women does run for political office and is not,
like her male counterpart, judged on policy as she should be but on her
attractiveness or dress sense; when she is questioned as to whether she can possibly
manage the duties of being both a mother and a leader when a man would never be
asked any such thing, we still need feminism. When one in five Australian women
will experience sexual assault in her lifetime, fewer than one in four will report the
assault and less than half of those still will take legal action, we still need feminism.
When Australia remains one of the only two OECD nations which hasn’t legislated to
provide paid maternity leave, we still need feminism. When a parliamentary inquiry
finds that women in South Australia are paid an average of 13.9% less than men and
17% less nationally, we still need feminism.
This is reality. Certainly it hurts, but the process of change can only ever start with
acknowledgement. Acknowledgement, for example, that such institutionalised
sexism is not, in fact, natural. That all these things can, and, I sincerely hope, will be
changed in time. The point of feminism was never to make those who believe in it so
afraid to be identified that they do not feel they can speak out about sexism without
adding, “but really, I’m not a feminist.”
Many distance themselves from the idea of feminism out of fear of the usual
stereotypes, but they do not realise that it is only them who can break them. The
misconception lies in the notion that feminism is an exclusive, homogenous club,
when in reality feminists need not be lesbians, liberal, atheistic or even
womenBecause essentially, feminism is the belief that women ought to have the
same rights, opportunities and powers as men. Nothing more, nothing less; a
concept simple yet, apparently and terribly elusive. I do not think I am making a
sweeping generalisation when I say that it is a goal everyone – whether male or
female – can agree with.
Eddy Current Suppression Ring by Matt Traeger
Considering the Australian music scene's most successful export at the turn of
the millennium was Savage Garden, it could justifiably be argued that the only
way from there was up. However, few could have predicted the overwhelming
success many Australian independent acts would find overseas in the latter
half of the decade. Hard rock act The Drones sold out theatres across Europe,
while more electronically inclined groups such as Cut Copy and Muscles have
recently received glowing reviews from some of America's most influential
music critics. The latest local act to have found such success is Eddy Current
Suppression Ring, whose raw rock-n-roll stylings, enigmatic live shows and
punk ethic have been lauded by music critics and fans both home and abroad.
“The past few years have been massive for all of us,” remarked the band's lead
guitarist and producer, Mikey Young, when I spoke with him earlier this year. “It's
been great, but we have worked pretty hard for it, of course.” Young formed the
band with his brother Danny, on drums, bassist Brad Barry and singer Brendan
Huntley in 2003. However, their relationship as musicians began much earlier, when
they began playing together at fifteen. “Not that anything we ever did then is even
worth mentioning,” he laughs. “Then, later, between school and forming Eddy
Current Suppression Ring, we played together quite a bit. We had a funk band at one
stage, and later a hardcore band.” Although all of these musical ventures were short
lived, the band knew they were on to something special when they formed Eddy
Current Suppression Ring. “I worked at a pressing plant for a few years with the
guys, and we were the last ones left at one of the Christmas parties, so started to
drunkenly jam on the spare equipment there,” he explains. “We recorded it on a tape
deck then listened to it the next morning once we had sobered up and thought, 'You
know what, this is pretty good'”.
“Most of our songs are written in half an hour... after ten
minutes, we'll turn round and say either “that's cool” or
“that sucks”. It's always been like that.”
And so it goes: By 2006 the band had independently released and distributed their
debut album, and, by 2008, had released a second, “Primary Colours” (not to be
confused with the Horrors album of the same name), which was recorded over only
two days. The album entered the top five of the ARIA Album Charts and went on to
win the Australian Music Prize, earning the band $30,000 to spend on, well,
whatever they wanted. In what would seem as an anti-Gun'n'Roses protest, the band
boycotted their recently bolstered bank account and recorded their third album for
absolutely no cost and in only six hours in their rehearsal room. So how did they do
it? “It's not as if we were racing to get it done in six hours or anything,” Young
explains. “We were in the rehearsal room and I just decided to put onto tape some of
the stuff we were jamming on. We play it all live and I record it all myself. We did a
few versions of each song and picked the ones that sounded good. I mean, I
personally think that if you can't play your song well after two or three tries, you
shouldn't be playing it at all.”
The result of that particularly efficient session was “Rush to Relax”, released last
February, which saw the band explore a number of new directions musically. “There
are a few longer jams this time, instead of just a bunch of three minute pop songs.
But we tried not to get too caught up with ourselves, become too indulgent.”
Although the sound may be different, Young attests that the process is the same as
it's always been. “Most of our songs are written in half an hour. I'll play a riff to the
guys that I've been working on at home, then we all jam on it together. After ten
minutes, we'll turn round and say either “that's cool” or “that sucks”. If we decide to
keep it, we'll then cut it down to around three or four minutes and fine tune it a bit.
It's always been like that.”
...the band have gained a reputation as one of Australia's
most dynamic live acts, enjoying every moment onstage
just as much as the crowd.
“We feed off each other when we play and it becomes pretty mad really,” Young says
of the recording process. But such energy is not confined to the studio - the band
have gained a reputation as one of Australia's most dynamic live acts, enjoying every
moment onstage just as much as the crowd. “We haven't been to Adelaide very
much; we've been pretty slack. But we played Big Day Out there [in 2009] and I
remember that as being awesome.” The band will be taking their live show to the US
in June on the back of some highly positive press, including from the highly
influential American indie music website Pitchfork. Asked about what this means for
the band, Young answers, “Pitchfork probably isn't as much an influence on me as it
is many others, but I respect that it certainly reaches a lot of people. I'm confident
enough about the band that, if we don't get a great review, I really don't care. But the
good press definitely helps, especially overseas.” But Eddy Current Suppression Ring
aren't planning world domination quite yet. “I realise that, if we applied ourselves,
we could tour overseas a lot more and really make something of the good press
we've received. But, honestly, we're not twenty year old kids anymore, and we're all
busy outside of the band. The band isn't our life, and we're all happy at the pace
we're at.”
And at the current pace, it seems that for Eddy Current Suppression Ring, anything's
possible.
Wise Words from Mikey Young On new music
“There's so much great stuff around at the moment. I'm totally into this band
called the Electric Bunnies, they're from the US. From Australia – Kitchen Floor,
from Brisbane, are great. Also, I've just finished recording an album with these two
girls called the Wild Horses, they're pretty cool too.”
On the best albums of the decade past
“Probably my favourite album of the last ten years was “Antique Glow” by Kelley
Stoltz, but I also really like the Breeders' “Title TK”.”
On even older music
“When I was two all I ever listened to was KISS and Rod Stewart. When I was
thirteen I used to borrow heaps of tapes from the library, stuff like Hendrix and
Velvet Underground. That stuff still rocks, always will.”
Year of the Penguin Compiled by Yen Pham
Jk, it’s actually the Year of the Tiger. But seriously folks, the new series of Penguin Classics2 (or, as Father Hogan refers to them, “those novels you find at the post office”, or, as I refer to them, “those novels Sportsgirl sometimes places in their windows to seem worldly”) slated for release this July is very impressive indeed. We forced some of the writers more vulnerable to coercion here at Cannonball to take their pick of the litter.
Keep the Aspidistra Flying – George Orwell (Matthew Traeger)
I first read Keep the Aspidistra Flying in Year 9. I struggled through it (considering it was the first novel I had read since the glory that is “Holes”, I hadn't been prepared awfully well), but enjoyed it enough to pick it up again last year and more fully appreciate the insight with which it provided me. The novel itself may not exactly be groundbreaking, but it is certainly an enjoyable and often comic take on 1930s London. Following the life of Gordon Comstock, a struggling poet, it details his war against all things monetary, his state of living slowly eating away at his sanity – much to the dismay of his on/off lover, Rose, his dealings with whom are affected most significantly by his venture into the “simple” life. It wasn't so simple after all, but it does make for a very engaging novel.
Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll (Alberto Di Troia)
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a children’s literary classic and a particular favourite of mine. Carroll basically improvised the story on the request of his young friend Alice Liddell during a picnic, and was later persuaded to write down and publish the tale. Strangely enough, Carroll was actually a mathematics professor at Oxford, who, it has been written, was “very fond of children and had many child friends” (make of that what you will). Whether he was also acquainted with the “white rabbit” (wink, wink) is debatable, but certainly likely: the book is a surreal journey through a land of hookah-smoking caterpillars, babies turning into pigs, oyster-murdering walruses and flamingo-wielding queens. It’s pure escapism of the kind that’s never too late to visit (or revisit).
Communist Manifesto – Karl Marx (Lawrence Ben)
For Hender.
2 Despite what it seems, we are not actually being paid royalties for gross product placement (refer also to “Day of Danoz”). However, we are in need of funds so we can print more issues and reach more people, so look out for a Cannonball fundraiser which, knowing us, will not be organised until some point in the distant future!
