here was the summer when Kings of Leon made
their first appearance and it made for great mu-
sic to blast out your windows when driving. The
same goes for when The Darkness released their suc-
cessful “Permission to Land”... all you wanted to do was
play it out so every one could hear!
Well “Ga ga ga ga”, Spoon’s sixth album, is one of
those albums. A great, but short, summer album at
36 minutes flies by just as the summer has. The band’s
drummer, Jim Eno, produced the album in the band’s
record studio, and it sounds great! There’s even horns
on some tracks!
There’s some definite energizing tracks and then a few
melancholy tracks but overall the flow of the album
works. A must buy.
I H
first learned of this band by attending their live
show at Randy Bacon’s Gallery Sounds (gal-
lerysounds.net) here in town and I was completely
blown away! They were so tight as a band and had
these amazing tunes that never left my head.
They were on their way to the SXSW Festival in Austin,
TX and to my luck (and many others) they just so hap-
pened to have the time to stop in little ol’ Springfield.
(Thank you Randy Bacon!) It would probably be pretty
easy to pass these guys off if you were just flipping
through records or iTunes because of their ridiculous
band name but they are able to keep it cool with poi-
gnant lyrics, catchy piano twinkles and folky acoustic
guitar songs.
I hope people will catch on to this band, but I guess for
now I get to keep them to myself... well and the small
handful of others!

o finally someone famous from this area besides Brad
Pitt... Jason Bourne (Nixa, MO)! And yes I was in a
Campbell 16 theatre where everyone started clap-
ping and talking out loud when we discovered his true
identity, but that’s beside the point. The third installment to
the Bourne series kicks! The first one was great, the second
one was decent, but The Bourne Ultimatum knocks it out
of the ballpark.
Sit back, or rather sit on the edge of your seat, as Matt
Damon, the smart, sharp, precise and clever spy tries to
figure out who he is. As usual Damon is terrific in his role
as Jason Bourne. There are lots of gadgets and spy tech-
nology. Plus high risk car chases and some up close and
personal hand to hand combat.
Hands down the best movie this summer. The Bourne
Ultimatum and its predecessors will go down in history as
some of the best Action films made.
ype. Expectations. Advertisements. Talk. There was
too much of all that for me to have gone to the
movie with a clear mind! I think without the hype I
probably would have enjoyed this movie a lot more than I
did.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE Simpsons fan, I
even voted to have our Springfield as the home of the
Simpsons, but you see the thing is that you have to go into
this movie expecting the same amazing humor and story
line as what you would get for basically a long episode,
and that’s all.
Anyway, I would definitely recommend going to see this in
the theatre, because I mean that’s kind of the point. They
do some great playing with the audience and having fun
knowing that this is a movie being played in a theatre and
not on TV.
All in all it’s great Simpsons humor and a great movie for
one of the longest running series on TV. There are the usual
laughs with Homer, the mischievous Bart, the overly con-
cerned Marge and the realistic Lisa.

“...one of the best ways to choose a
wine for a particular season is to take a
look at the growing regions that have
that particular kind of weather.”
26 / DOWNTOWNBEAT
I
f, as Louis Pasteur would have us believe,
“a day without wine is like a day without
sunshine,” somebody out there is drink-
ing a lot of wine these days. The “dog
days of summer” and “Indian Summer” are just
a couple of the seemingly harmless names given
to the hot, humid, and sticky months preceding
an Ozarks fall. Ahhhh, that lovely time of year
when you work up a sweat just sitting still. Here
in Missouri, where we have “air you can wear”
during the months of August and September, it’s
important to be able to find relief, whether it’s at
the pool, sitting in front of the air conditioner or
sipping on your favorite liquid refreshment.
I think back on younger days when I
lived in houses that had no A/C and how sitting
in front of a window box fan with a cold can
of the only beer I could afford seemed heaven
enough. Even though beer can rarely wear out
its welcome, sometimes you have the urge to find
something else to quench your thirst. My first fa-
vorite hot weather wine was Petri Chablis, which
could be obtained from the wonderful people at
Brown Derby for $4.99 a gallon (yes, this was a
while back). It was a relatively simple wine but
stood up fairly well to being buried in the kitchen
sink in ice and served stone cold in plastic cups.
Cold, dry, and fruity; we thought it was wonder-
ful.
These days wine drinkers have become a
bit more sophisticated.
For those of you who feel you are in a
Chardonnay rut, might I suggest some alterna-
tives… Sometimes, one of the best ways to
choose a wine for a particular season is to take a
look at the growing regions that have that partic-
ular kind of weather. A kind of “when in Rome”
approach. Let’s face it, the Jamaicans know
a thing or two about what to do with rum and
Mexico deserves a global thank you for creating
the Margarita. When you’re talking wine, warm
weather varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Viog-
nier, and Moscato have a lot to offer the parched
palate.
One of the best all-out thirst quenchers
I have ever had has got to be the Kim Crawford
Sauvignon Blanc. While traditional French
Sauvignon Blanc is stony and minerally, and it’s
California cousin tends to be somewhat herbal
and melony, this New Zealand version is simply
bursting with bright fruit flavors of grapefruit,
citrus and subtle herbal notes. Firm but not
bracing acids leave your mouth literally salivat-
ing after each sip. This is a wonderful wine for
cocktailing or to pair up with salads or shellfish.
A little more on the lush side is Viognier
(amaze your friends “vee-ohn-yay”). This is a
wine that requires a reliable producer but in the
right hands makes something truly special. The
aromas of this grape are generous and decadent.
Honeysuckle, peach, apricot, and orange peel can
be commonly found if the fruit is allowed suf-
ficient hang time. Be suspicious of versions aged
in oak. This, more often than not, masks the fruit
and it comes off like a bi-polar Chardonnay. A
French version called Condrieu was one of my
most memorable “Good God, Ya’ll!” moments
in wine. Unfortunately it tends to be a little too
pricey for most pocketbooks. However, solid
affordable bottling can be had from California
producers Cline, Eberle, and Iron Horse.
Probably the most popular hot weather
DOWNTOWNBEAT / 27

wine these days is Pinot Grigio. While there are
some remarkable bottling out there (particularly
from Italy), the varietal has been mass produced to
a point where many bottlings are simple, one di-
mensional wines that tend to be austere and metallic
while being short on flavor and finish. However, this
grape leads a dual existence. Its alter ego Pinot Gris
is grown with wonderful results in Alsace, France as
well as New Zealand and Oregon. Whereas the Ital-
ian version is very steely with mineral, tart lemon,
and grass flavors, the Oregon versions tend to be
very fruit forward, full of lush flavors of pear, apple,
and orange blossom. This is a very drinkable wine
with lots to offer in regards to food pairings. Check
out offerings from Adelsheim, King Estate and Mon-
tinore.
One of the most seductive wines of the “dog
days” is Moscato. The wine is unashamedly lush
and completely unapologetic in the sweet opulence
of its firm, fleshy, ripe flavors and its exotically
perfumed aromas (we are still talking about wine
here). Flavors of honey, peach, mango, and apricot
are commonly found in the Lolita of the wine world.
While this wine is overwhelmingly popular with
women (write that down, guys) its broad appeal is
undeniable. Some will “poo poo” it as too sweet or
the “new White Zinfandel”, but it is hard to deny its
allure. Try Batasiolo, Marco Negri, Luccio, or Mar-
tin Brothers Allegro.
Finally, my favorite summer quencher- Ries-
ling. Few wines available have the versatility that
Riesling does and it grows well in many places
from, Germany and France to Washington, Califor-
nia, New Zealand, and Australia. Some affordable
bottles that are above average quality come from
Chateau Ste. Michelle, Dr. Loosen, Saarstein, and
Hogue. Depending on style or region the wine can
be a delicately structured blend of minerals, acid-

ity, and fruit, or viscous and honeyed in a dessert
style that rivals the best Sauterne available. To me
the most remarkable thing about Riesling is its ap-
proachability. A few years back, I had the opportu-
nity to go to Germany for harvest and be the guest of
one of Germany’s most famous wine making fami-
lies, the Prums. While at the Bernkastel-Kues Wine
Festival, where Riesling is king, we fell in love with
the fact that given its light body and low alcohol,
you could drink huge amounts of the stuff and not
feel bloated or get too out of control. Apparently,
it is the national drink in Germany. If you look out
onto the valley floor in Napa, you will see different
blocks of Merlot, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, and
any number of blending varietals. But in the Mosel
or Rhine, it is nothing but Riesling as far as the eye
can see. After a few nights of gorging ourselves on
the freshness of this wine, we borrowed the familiar
phrase, “Less filling! Tastes great!” as our trip motto.
While on that trip, I got a crash course in the
great Rieslings of the world and what makes them
great. But at one point I made the mistake of en-
gaging S.A. Prum owner Raymund Prum about the
enological elements of his wine’s flavor profile (wine
geek speak for, “Damn, that’s good, how’d you do
that?”). He stopped dead in conversation and looked
at me quizzically, gestured to the surrounding hill-
sides burdened with ripe fruit and said, ‘What is all
this talk? Put the wine in your mouth, is good, yes?
That is all you need.”
And he was right.

helsea Madden and Beth Mahurin are
design consultants at Seminole Dé-
cor, 1815 E. Seminole. They’re also
college students. Madden is a senior
design major at Missouri State Uni-
versity, and Mahurin is a sophomore special edu-
cation major at Evangel University. The following
are some of their ideas for creating a trendy and
creative, yet inexpensive dorm room:
• Extra storage is always a plus. Get creative with
storage units and shelves.
• Create cheap work units with milk crates and
wood planks or purchase storage cubes at Target.
• Go to a carpet store and ask for scrap pieces of
carpet for your room. Madden said the scraps are
free. But keep in mind that the store may not have
the exact color you’re looking for.
• Display books, movies and pictures on shelves
bought at thrift stores or discount stores like Wal-
Mart or Target.
• If you need paint for something, call your local
paint store and ask for mis-tints. Madden said
those are cans of paint customers have returned.
Paint stores will often sell those cans at a dis-
counted price.
• Use 3M tabs to hang posters and photos on the
wall.
• Hang ribbon across the wall and clothespin pho-
tos to the ribbon
• Hang up cork boards. Or you can purchase cork
Painting by Damian Nunez on rolls and use 3M tabs to hang it up. Madden
said this method is usually less expensive than
buying a cork board.
• If there are already drapes hanging up that you
can’t take down, pin fabric over it if you want to
change the color.
34 / DOWNTOWNBEAT
• Put a slip cover on an old futon and then buy ac-
cent pillows to go with it.
• Look at thrift stores for lamps and other accent
items.
• Buy picture frames at Hobby Lobby when
they’re on sale.
• Go to after Thanksgiving Day sales. “You can
often get great things that are nice at amazing
prices at these sales,” Mahurin said.
• Buy fake flowers and make a colorful arrange-
ment.
“Put a slip cover on an old
futon and then buy accent
pillows to go with it.”
Lauren Quackenbush is a sophomore ac-
counting major at Evangel University. Last year,
she and her roommate, Kylie Gilliland, chose
to go with a light blue, tan and chocolate brown
color scheme. “We wanted neutral colors so it
wouldn’t be too crazy in such a small space,”
Quackenbush said. They’ll keep the same color
scheme this year since so much money was spent
last year on basics such as bedding, lighting, a
refrigerator, a microwave and so on.
“Last year, my parents paid for the items
I needed for my room,” Quackenbush said. “But
they aren’t doing that this year, so I’ll have to
pay for any additions to the room.” She said it’s
important that students plan ahead to have enough
storage for all their stuff since a dorm room is
so small. “We have these cute chocolate brown
wicker baskets on the shelves in our closet. We
use these for storing sweaters and other stuff.”
She mentioned that it may a good idea to buy
eight inch tall storage units, on rollers, so you can
store stuff under the bed.
The girls share a bathroom with the two
DOWNTOWNBEAT / 35
 girls who live in the room next door. Quackenbush
and Gilliland use baskets to keep their hair dryers,
flat irons, curling irons, in a basket under the sink.
This way the room looks less cluttered.
Quackenbush’s mother, Shelly, said she
started buying items for Lauren’s dorm room in
May so that it was less of a financial burden and so
that there’d be less stress in August when it came
time to move her daughter into her dorm room.
“When it came time to move her in, it was fun,”
Shelly Quackenbush said. “Everything was already
taken care of.”
Shelly and Lauren’s father, Randy, bought
Lauren a television, dorm size refrigerator, micro-
wave, an area rug for the dorm room, headboard,
sheets, towels, under bed storage, shoe stackers, a
hamper, hangers, an iron, trash cans and items for
the bathroom like the shower curtain, a rug and
toilet cleaner. They also bought a loveseat for the
room so the ladies would have somewhere other
than their bed to relax. “We purchased the items for
Lauren so she would have them for the four years
she’s at Evangel,” Shelly said. They said they got
the best deal on the refrigerator at Sears and that
Wal-Mart was the place to go to for the microwave,
storage units and bathroom supplies. Lauren was
given a computer and printer as high school gradua-
tion gifts so she already those necessities.
Shelly said Laurens living in the dorm
because they want her to have the college experi-
ence. “When you’re commuting, you don’t have the
connection with the campus as much,” Shelly said.
While Lauren said her roommate and she
plan to stick with the same color scheme so they
don’t have to spend a lot of money, the big trend
in colors for the dorm this year is berry, chocolate
brown and teal. That’s according to Bed, Bath, and
Beyond Sales Force Manager Rebecca Henderson.
“We have buyers that do the investigating on what
the latest trends are in color,” she said.
Henderson said when college students come
into the store they’re looking to organize things into
a small environment. These are some of the more
popular organizing items:
• A three drawer stackable that sits on the desk for
$12.99.
36 / DOWNTOWNBEAT
• Over the door shoe organizers for $19.99.
• A set of two under the bed storage bags for $9.99.
• A bedside caddy with three deep pockets. It slips
under the mattress and holds items like magazines
and books for $9.99.
• Bed lifters so the bed can be lifted and items
stored under it. The solid wood lifters can go up to
three-and-a-half inches and sell for $19.99. There
are others that come in a variety of colors and can
raise the bed anywhere from five to seven inches.
They sell for $9.99 to $12.99.
• A dorm space saver. It goes over twin and twin
extra long beds. It has two shelves, for storage, that
go above the bed for $49.99.
• The Mini Mantle. It’s a bed post shelf that can
hook onto the headboard for $14.99.
“Bed lifters [are great] so the
bed can be lifted and items
[can be] stored under it.”
Bed, Bath, and Beyond carries extra long
twin sheet sheets and comforters since most dorm
rooms have extra long twin beds. The price var-
ies according to thread count. Henderson also said
students are always looking for surge protectors or
power centers since most dorm rooms don’t offer
enough electrical outlets. At Bed, Bath, and Beyond
the five outlet surge protector sells for $29.99, and
the power center, a strip with an extension cord,
sells for $9.99
We hope you picked up at least a few if
not a ton of good tricks and tips to get your dorm
just the way you like it. I mean if you have to be
cooped up in there you may as well do it in style,
