Musicians create their

own brand of mediaOne of the main prob-

lems with my brand ofmusic-advocacy journal-ism is that, more oftenthan not, you end uppreaching to the choir.

My column is printedin a publication of gener-al readership, just a fewinches amongst all thatblack-and-white aboutDemocrats, Republicans,cows and whatever elseis happening. And theonly people likely to readmy stuff and take it toheart are the people whoagree with me, anyway.Which is fine, becausewe need camaraderie inour convictions. But, witha few glimmering excep-tions for which I ’m grate-

ful, I ’m not changing anyminds.

A more successful for-mula for that nut is the for-us-by-us approach takenby Jayson Bussa, creatorof Kalamazoo Noise.

Back in February,Bussa, the 26-year-oldbassist for Take ThisPersonal, started the

online-only blog-typemusic review/con-cert promotion e-mag,inspired by the now-defunct self-advertiserwestmichiganmusic.com.Next month, the rag-tag,unpaid staff will put out

RICHLAND – An unassum-ing dirt road winding into aforest and onto a spread offarmland gives no indication itleads to a world-class eques-trian event.

The Richland Park HorseTrials are found at the end ofthat road and returned todayfor another year, serving as astepping stone for those on thetrail to becoming members ofthe United States EquestrianTeam. The event runs throughSunday.

The trials are a UnitedStates Eventing Association-sanctioned Adequan GoldCup event, one of 12 in thecountry and stop before thisyear’s W orld EquestrianGames in Lexington, Ky.

Organizers call it “The tri-athlon of the horse world” forits three areas of competition:

Dressage,showjumpingand crosscountry.It takes astaff of 15and hun-dreds ofvolunteers,someworkinga year inadvance,to pull itoff.“W e have

about 370acres altogether,” event orga-nizer Kay W illmarth said.“Probably a little over 200 isused for the horse show.”

W illmarth and her hus-band, Bob W illmarth, ownthe property and opened it up

to horse trials in 2002 afterbecoming involved in thesport.

The work on keeping thegrounds maintained for the nextyear’s event begins during thecurrent show.

“Even during the show, wehave a huge, heavy roller thatwe use to get all the horse div-ots out of the ground and get itnice and smooth, so it’s not alltorn up and choppy,” W illmarthsaid.

Driving around the eventgrounds on a sunny afternoon,workers and volunteers couldbe seen dotting the landscapeof the wide-open fields.

Two men took turns ham-mering a massive spike into

the groundto anchor alarge tentwhile a work-er sprayedjumps with astain nearby.The jumps werepositioned at asmall pond forthe cross coun-try competition,which W illmarthsaid was one of themore exciting parts ofthe trials.

ANDY FITZPATRICK

The Enquirer

A musician with the desire to unloadsome unused equipment taking up spacehas resulted in a swap meet and music fes-tival in Marshall.

Organizers of the Marshall MusicFaire, happening from 11 a.m.

to 7 p.m. Saturday, plan onbringing together musi-

cians from the worldof jazz, blues, rockand hip hop.

They alsohope to attract

anyone who has musical equipment, CDs,tapes, albums and anything else music-related that they want to sell to the event atStuart’s Landing on Homer Road.

Organizer Jaryl Day said the ideacame to her when trying to figure out whatto do with the equipment left behind byher late husband, musician Dick Day.

“I have a lot of Dick’s old equipmentthat – being a cellist – I will never use,” shesaid. “I have every kind of cord you canpossibly dream of. I have every kind ofcable and plug you could possibly dreamof.”

People hoping to sell off some stuffcan get vendor space for prices thatvary depending on the amount of area

needed; the fees will go to offset debtincurred by Swing, Jazz and Other

Stuff!!!, another Marshall musicalevent Day first helped organize in2007.

Day also hopes it will bringtogether the young and the old and

expose them to music they may nothave heard before.“They’re going to be sticking around

to hear other things that are going on,and they’re going to be exposed to

other things,” she said of people showingup to hear a rap group, but also catchingthe sounds of a jazz band.

Battle Creek’s Keith Cole, of the trom-bone band Quint Essential Bones, agreed.

“I’m not a big proponent of rap music,but I have listened to it and it has somemerit,” Cole, who will be performing at theevent, said.

“I think part of that is if we get exposureto some of the younger people to some-thing in addition to rap, then I think thatwould be a good thing,” he said.

To that end, rap group 11M12D of FortWayne is scheduled to appear. Joiningthem on the roster are Dogs in Winter,Rachelle, Jim and Joe and more.

year. Willmarth said it’sthe biggest event yet atRichland Park.

Ddespite the amountof work that goes intomaintenance and thestatus of the trials in theworld of horse eventing,some think Richland Parkremains out of the publiceye.

“I talk to people all thetime,” Richland Park rep-resentative Susan Canolesaid, “and they’re like,

‘The what?’It’s reallya shamebecause it’sso close.”

BothCanole andWillmarthsaid peo-ple, wheth-

er they know a thingabout horses or not, typi-cally find the trials excit-ing. The cross countryportion of the trials, forexample, features horsesand their riders sprintingthrough wooded trails,over obstacles and intoponds. The dressagephase finds riders work-ing their horses into asequence of movements,displaying their level ofcommunication with theanimal.

“It’s great for a fam-ily day in the country,”Willmarth said, citing thefood court and trade fairas other ways to spendtime at the event, to saynothing of the level ofcompetition.

“It’s like having TigerWoods,” she said. “Thetop riders in the countryare all going to be here.We have Olympians andworld medalists.”

the first print edition ofNoise; about 5,000 cop-ies will be distributed forfree.

Bussa said the spot-ted collection of ads inthe magazine, mostly bylocal bands and local ven-ues, were “not even close”to covering the $2,200tab for printing the thing.

He said he hopes tospread the copies aroundKalamazoo, Battle Creekand Grand R apids, butthere’s no distributionbudget.

“So I’ll be a classic26-year-old with a paperroute,” Bussa said, addingthat the magazine is not amoney-maker.

“I’m rolling in money,”he joked. “Me and my

Bridge card.”But money is not

Bussa’s drive (a commonself-soothing statementfor journalists). It’s reallyabout promoting, cover-ing and even creating theKalamazoo music scene.

With resources limitedat mainstream publica-tions, Bussa rounded uplocal musicians to do itthemselves. His four main

contributors — MegAlexander, Joe Fearnley,Dwayne Hoover andBrandon St. James — allare musicians. So is DevonBynon, his layout spe-cialist. The team writesreviews of regional artists,albums and shows, talksabout the local scene andeven sponsors concertsthat act dually as fundrais-ers for the magazine and

tools to grow the scene. It’sabout giving local artistsanother stage from whichto scream.

“It’s not just tapping thebigger bands in the scene,it’s giving really in-depthreviews of bands I’venever heard of,” Bynon,24, said. “It’s really expos-ing a lot of good bands.”

It’s classic grassrootsGonzo. Create and cover.

The culture is a prod-uct of the coverage andvice-versa.

“It’s always kind ofbeen a really corny dreamof mine,” Bussa said. “Thesatisfaction of putting it outcomes from knowing a lotof people will read it.”

“Scott Pilgrim vs. theWorld: The Game” hasdone something that veryfew tie-in games have: It isbetter than the movie.

Don’t get me wrong, Ireally liked the movie andthe comic books that start-ed it all, but this download-able title for the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 is a nearflawless victory. For lessthan the price of popcornand a prime-time movieticket, you and up to threefriends can have a retro-fla-vored beat-em-up that willkeep you smiling.

As in the movie, youplay Scott Pilgrim who hasto fight his way through theseven deadly “exes” of hisnew girlfriend, Ramona.In side-scrolling style, youtravel encountering pixelat-ed ruffians who use theirfists, legs and anything elsearound the screen to beatyour health away.

Older arcade games,

such as “X-Men,” “T heSimpsons” and “T eenageMutant Ninja T urtles,”encouraged players tospend quarters destroyingwaves of enemies in orderto face the boss fights andthen the final foe. Gettingthere solo was a chore,but with other fighters inthe mix, the game was alot more fun. Th is “ScottPilgrim” game has not for-gotten that formula andadds lots of flair to makeyou appreciate the timeand effort placed in this$10 game.

For starters, the music

and graphics are pureretro. What could havebeen a bland satire on8-bit gaming is a trib-ute instead. The chunkygraphics are a style thatolder gamers will appre-ciate while not skimpingon the personality. Eachenemy and playable char-acter has its own cheekyhumor. T he chip-tunemusic is also a treat as itis more than just a simpleloop. The soundtrack islayered, complex andmost importantly, reallywell done.

“Scott Pilgrim” adds

another layer of depth tothis simple genre by add-ing a level-based systemthat gives your fighternew abilities to get to thefinal stages. Even on thenormal difficulty, you willhave some challengesgetting through the gamewithout playing earlierareas to level-up.

While playing solo can

be frustrating, the multi-player helps on all levels.Unfortunately, there isn’tany online support in thePlayStation 3 version Ireviewed. I strongly rec-ommend that you enlistfriends to help finish thisgame. Gamers of mostany skill level can graspthe simple controls (move,punch, jump, grab) andthen learn the subtle ways

to prolong playing life.“Scott Pilgrim vs. the

World: The Game” is abargain for the time youwill invest in the game.Ubisoft has done a splen-did job — it is the newgold-standard for themovie - or comic- inspiredvideo game and a guiltypleasure for all retrogamers.

Marcus Anderson is afreelance writer and videogame reviewer.
