Area 51 and Beyond | J@N | 5.25.11
[LESS INFO] 10 VIEWS | ADDED 05:23:44 05/26/11
Today, our closing week of J@N continues with an update to TWO separate topics previously covered on the show. And since today is Wednesday, we’ve decided to take a firmly science-ey approach to the topics!
First up, more de-classified military documents lead Chris to dig deep into the mysteries of Area 51, as a follow-up to our episode that had UFOs buzzing around US nuclear missile silos. After that, we take a look at the recently-discovered replacement for the debunked Planet Zarmina, which unlike it’s predecessor actually shows scientific evidence of being capable of supporting life!

Circa Survive, Steel Train, Slayer, The Do, A Day To Remember, John Lydon (12.18.2010)

In our two featured artist segments this week, Jerry Bryant welcomes Steel Train and I host Circa Survive inside the historic JBTV studios.
Circa filmed this incredible afternoon session on our 9-cam, high def sound stage a few weeks back, before their sold-out Chicago show at House of Blues. I%rsquove always enjoyed their music, but somehow avoided crossing paths with them for an interview or general hangs until now. Based on accounts from our mutual friends in Madina Lake, I knew going in they%rsquod be good dudes. And after spending the day with them (topics of conversation included parenthood and inspiring performers), I can confirm that supporting Circa Survive is support well spent. During the performance, their singer Anthony Green asked our JBTV studio audience, %ldquoWho%rsquos coming to our show later tonight?%rdquo A handful of kids said they couldn%rsquot get tickets in time and they%rsquore now selling for a few hundred bucks a pop on StubHub. In one of the cooler moves I%rsquove ever seen an artist pull, Anthony took their names and added them to the band%rsquos guest list. So solid. As is their stripped down, JBTV exclusive set.
Also this week, JBTV cameras follow host Brendan Kelly backstage at UIC Pavilion for an exclusive interview with Slayer. The concept of an artist like Brendan (The Lawrence Arms) interviewing fellow artists like Slayer is endlessly fascinating to me, so I asked BK to walk me thru the atmosphere and his thought process before and during the interview. %ldquoI was pretty intimidated interviewing Dave and Kerry ,%rdquo he admits first and freely. %ldquoThey put us in a makeshift living room stocked with beer, soda and somebody%rsquos kid playing Xbox. We waited in there watching this incredibly bored and disenfranchised kid play some version of Mario Bros. for what seemed like hours before Kerry and Dave finally came in saying, %ldquoEh, another one of these [interviews], eh?%rdquo as though they were about to get yet another anal probe.%rdquo Hilarious insight. I still have a tough time figuring out why some artists have such a disdain for interviews. Maybe because I%rsquom the one always asking the questions?
Brendan continues, %ldquoI tried to be conversational and Dave was slightly receptive, but Kerry was clearly wanting to just get in and get out. His answers were super curt and, while he was pleasant enough, he%rsquos scary as hell. Big beard, flame head, in Slayer, etc. Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio) is really into Nazi mysticism and all that. Slayer has written a lot of songs that seem to imply a fascination with the third reich, so I tried to go there without being accusatory. The results were pretty entertaining.%rdquo
Host Jenna Martinelli sits down with New York City indie rockers, The Do, at Schubas%rsquo Harmony Grill for a candid look at the band during dinner. %ldquoOur conversation was really amusing and random,%rdquo Jenna told me. %ldquoA lot of talk about food and fashion.%rdquo Subject matter clearly close to Jenna%rsquos heart.
I head out to Hard Rock Hotel on Michigan Ave. for a visit with our friends from Ocala, Florida, A Day to Remember. This interview was particularly exciting %ndash moments before the shoot, the band had got word that their new album, What Separates Me from You, had unseated Taylor Swift for the number 1 spot on the iTunes music charts. No small feat. Celebratory drinks were had and Hard Rock memorabilia may or may not have been ripped off the walls. At least frontman Jeremy McKinnon stopped short of smashing any of it.
Finally this week, Jerry Bryant revisits one of his favorite classic JBTV segments featuring John Lydon a.k.a. The Sex Pistols%rsquo %ldquoJohnny Rotten.%rdquo I asked Jerry to recall some details from this legendary 1992 encounter. %ldquoJohn was on the PIL [Public Image, LTD.] tour at the time. He was doing an interview at 93 WXRT and decided he didn%rsquot like how it was going, so he walked out and showed up at JBTV 90 minutes early. I had no cameraman and no crew,%rdquo Jerry explains. %ldquoWe usually have someone tour the guest around the studio before ending up in the on-air studio. John refused the tour and said, %ldquoI%rsquom only answering ONE question on this crappy TV show.%rdquo So I took the camera, pointed it at John and he talked nonstop, for 40 minutes, about everything from bad music videos to showing his bare ass on TV.%rdquo

Make A Difference Day 2009 Nmu Earth Keeper Student Team Cleans Along Dead River

Northern Michigan University EarthKeeper Student Teams Makes a Difference by removing trash from a favorite youth party spot on a Lake Superior tributary in Michigan's Upper Peninsula(Marquette, Michigan) - A student environment group from Northern Michigan University honored “Make A Difference Day” by picking up hundreds of pounds of litter and garbage at a favorite youth party spot around the Upper Dead River Falls in Marquette, Michigan.The rubbish collected by the Northern Michigan University EarthKeeper (NMU EK) Student Team on Saturday (October 24, 2009) included rusty box springs, a smashed vehicle windshield and a plethora of beer bottles and cans. Some of the beverage containers were very old because they had the old pull-top design.The Upper Dead River Falls is a rugged area with sandy hills, steep trails, rocky cliffs, a lengthy series of waterfalls and the obvious remnants of many campfires.“I just found a used diaper, a lot of glass, broken bottles, cans and cigarette wrappers,” said Ben Scheelk, 21, of Charlevoix, MI, director of the NMU EK Student Team.“What really disappoints me is all the big things we are finding like bed springs and other rusty old metal things,” Scheelk said.While looking at the rushing water, NMU EK Student Team Event Coordinator Amanda Emerson said "water is an important entity of the world and even though we have so much of it around here we have to cherish it that much more.""We been out here so many times there is no one out here ever picking it up their trash,” said Emerson, 21, of Cary, Ill. (NW Chicago).NMU Senior Chelsey Cebulsky said she was proud to participate in “Make A Difference Day” and “picking up this trash is a good thing to do for the environment.”“I have been out here many times for the party scene but I was always the one carrying around a plastic bag telling everyone to put their cans in it - sadly not very many people listened,” said Chelsey Cebulsky, 22, a physical geography major from of Adrian, MI. "Get a trash bag and get rid of trash yourself."NMU junior Ben Youren used gloves to carefully separated hundreds of pieces of shattered glass from the muddy soil on a hillside along the river.“It looks like it is part of a windshield,” said Youren, 26, an English major. “I am trying to dig the glass out of here.”The NMU environment group is the student wing of the interfaith Upper Peninsula EarthKeeper Team that holds annual Earth Day environment projects across northern Michigan including planting over 12,000 trees this past spring.Prior to the collection, the group sat in a circle at the NMU University Center and got a lesson in the importance of clean water from the co-founder of the Upper Peninsula EarthKeeper Initiative.“Almost 80 percent of the world is water and our bodies are 80 percent water, said Rev. Jon Magnuson, co-founder of the EarthKeeper Initiative and campus pastor for NMU Lutheran Campus Ministry.“There is a delicate balance when it comes to pH or the amount of acid in water and if that balance gets thrown off we can die.”Magnuson said people who grow up in northern Michigan sometimes “take it for granted because we have so much water.”“If you go to other places in the world you will see people who have to travel miles to get fresh water,” Magnuson said. “Their whole life is centered around accessing good water.”The students clean up project may of had a preventative effect.While the students were cleaning up the area, a pickup truck pulled up with a load of tires in the back. After talking briefly to the students, the two men in the truck pulled away.“It looks like we prevented them from dumping a whole load of tires along side of the river,” Scheelk said.Background on EarthKeeper Initiative:The EarthKeepers are an interfaith environment group involving over 150 churches and temples across northern Michigan.The EarthKeeper Initiative is co-sponsored by the nonprofit Cedar Tree Institute, the nonprofit Superior Watershed Partnership, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community and 10 faith communities: Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist Church, Unitarian Universalist, Baha'i, Jewish, Quakers (Religious Society of Friends) and Zen Buddhist.For more information on the Michigan EarthKeepers email or call the following contacts: Ben Scheelk, Director of NMU EK Student Teambscheelk@nmu.edu231-675-0121 Rev.
