Brand new song from Santah - Neighbors & Cousins
Santah spent the last four months recording their first full length album, and now we get a chance to see what happened. Check out the track “Neighbors & Cousins” below. For more new songs, visit the band’s myspace page. And I’m guessing they’ll probably be playing a lot of new stuff this Saturday, March 13 at the Courtyard Cafe w/ Tiger City and Wave Machine. (I neglected to mention that one in this week’s Overture, so my apologies to the Santahs.)

| Illini face tOSU tonight
Players met the press Monday afternoon before practice. After practice, the team bussed out to Willard and flew to Columbus. Tonight at 8 p.m. they’ll play Ohio State on ESPN. The Buckeyes can clinch a share of the Big Ten Championship with a win.
Mike Davis and Demetri McCamey shared these thoughts:
New Krukid tune: “Cold as Hell”
“Greetings all. In the midst of A.R.M prepping the March release of the “Two Africans and A Jew” EP Volume 1., as well some major personal and proffessional milestones for the group individually, Krukid, who writes and records neck snapping music at a feverish pace, decided to let off steam by going off on some Banging production from The Young Beat Monster G Mo(4 Shades) to reintroduce y’all to the ARM extended family in this new year. The 6 song(7 if you include the hidden track) treat entitled “The Snow Angel EP” is available at krukid.bandcamp.com for download. For anyone who has had to deal with the winter season either at present or in the past, this track off the EP is self explanatory and should pretty much hit home. Look out for new A.R.M music hitting you reeeaaal soon, and stay warm.“

The secret summit: Illini players talk to the media
The media embargo didn’t last.
This afternoon at Ubben, the players were made available to preview Wednesday’s Penn State game. But no one asked about that. There was newsier news.
The Illini had Sunday off, but the players all came together when Bill Cole texted the team. They met to hash things out.
Although the guys all said they’d keep the specifics to themselves, they did talk about the meeting (except Mike Tisdale, who declined an invitation to comment).
Here’s what DJ Richardson, Bill Cole, Bubba Chisholm and Tyler Griffey (respectively) had to say about the player summit:
Dominique Keller was the last guy to meet the press. For his two cents, the captains should be Demetri McCamey and Mike Davis. They’re on the floor the most, and they get the most publicity.
It’s the unspoken underlying narrative of this comment that I find most striking.
Gratuitous Dominique Keller coverage
I have this piece of interview with Dominique from last semester. It never quite fit in any stories, but it sure is interesting anyway. I’m sorry that most of you don’t have the chance to get to know him. He’s neat.

Weird aura consumes Illini basketball
Alex Legion’s departure is just the latest unusual aspect of an overall weird time for Illini basketball.
The team has four losses entering the Big Ten season, one of the players just left, and yet the mood remains light—Coach McClain was especially buoyant and giggly before practice Tuesday—and expectations remain high.
Maybe the weirdest thing is that Wednesday’s opponent, Northwestern, is ranked! Or maybe it’s weirder that Illinois is favored to beat the ‘Cats by ten points.
The four freshmen have no other season to compare with, so maybe they haven’t noticed the weirdness. Besides, they’re out of their element— spending the month living at the Homewood Suites, taking a lot of hot tubs.
I talked to three of them— Tyler, Brandon & Joseph. The media session was unusually short, so I never had a chance to ask DJ about the hot tub.
But I did talk with Bubba Chisholm, who expects no remuneration for his voluntary scrappy effort. But he wouldn’t say no to a scholarship for his last semester. Them business textbooks is ‘spensive.

Regis Benn opts for the NFL
Dressed to the nines, Illini wide receiver Arrelious Benn promised to be a role model to inner city kids, and dropped out of school.
He assured his mom, who attended the announcement, that he would finish college some day. She accepted.

Speedwagon displays a vague grasp on reality
You could say they sold out, but did they ever sell in?
From NPR's website:
The classic rock band REO Speedwagon is releasing a downloadable video game to promote itself and a new album. The New York Times reports the game involves an entertainment reporter tracking down the band's missing lead singer. The game costs $8 to download and can be played for up to 10 hours.

WTF guys? Does impersonating a user in the comments section run afoul of your commenting policy?
This is federal money, yes. But it is money going to a network that is going to be owned by an inter-governmental of the two cities and the University, not by the federal government. If you’re worried about the local governments spying on us, that’s fine, but…

If the democrats didn’t have Kucinich, and the republicans didn’t have Ron Paul, where would both these parties really stand? These men actually mean what they say.

Dan Schreiber’s chocolate is simply the best I’ve ever had. It’s a whole different ball-game; closer to very high-end wine than anything out of Hershey PA.
That settles it… Im going.
Vosges is pretty decent chocolate, but you should definitely try the locally-produced chocolate from Dan Schreiber, available (regularly?) at Amara, Caffe Paradiso, and Common Ground. I believe it is or will be at other places soon.
I read Kucinich flipped today. He must have read this and been convinced.
Bread Company can do some fantastic vegan dinner dishes! Several of their pastas are vegan or could be made vegan and their pizzas can be ordered (and taste great) without the cheese. I also recommend their roasted potatoes and their roasted garlic head appetizer.

I wonder with Griffey if he’s not in game shape enough to play a significant number of minutes. If you look at his minutes played this year, he’s never played a starters minutes.
I really appreciated Ms. Lennhoff’s candid answers to the questions. I learned a lot about health care reform from this experience. Thanks CCHCC!
Glad you asked Stuart. In the 1950s (well before they were approved for human use) poultry producers began using subtherapeutic doses of quinolone antibiotics, specifically fluroquinolone, to reduce the incidence of respiratory disease in overcrowded production conditions. In humans, quinolones are a last line of defense antibiotic…

Great article. I’ve always found that by making it in the blender, I can be my typical impatient self and pour tons of oil in at once. It’s very forgiving that way, though not fool proof.
