Elizabeth Berg Alternative rock is not just for people with tattoos and pierc-ings. Alyssa Guzman, a junior at Niles West, hardly �its the stereotype for fans of typical rock bands like “We The Kings”, “Pierce the Veil”, and “ Avenged Sevenfold”. “I still like to look pretty. At rock con-certs, I don’t really �it in,” Guzman says. But �itting in has never stopped Guzman from enjoying this genre of music. “Music should convey a message. Pop music is only about getting girls. It has a negative message,” Guzman explains. Ever since her father expressed his concerns about the message pop music gives, she has been hooked to alternative rock, start-ing with her �irst love, “Blink 182”. Guzman used to listen to the CD on repeat, using her cousin’s CD player to replay her favorite song, “First Date”. Her “Blink 182” obsession soon expanded. A three time “Avenged Sevenfold” concert attendee, she has been an avid fan, crowd sur�ing and even getting emotional about the death of the band’s drummer. Her music tastes have evolved from her third grade love of Hilary Duff. Now, instead of going to the premiere of the Lizzie McGuire movie, Guzman is meeting “Pierce the Veil” in person, and exchanging various pleasant-

ries with Travis Clark, the lead singer of “We The Kings”. “I remember every word,” Guzman recalls of her conversa-tion with Clark, “It was the best experience of my life.” Almost the polar opposite of alternative rock, country is

also present on Guzman’s playlists. “Alternative rock and country both are mu-sic with a story.” A fan of traditional country artists such as Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, and Kenney Chesney, Guzman is not a keen sup-porter of pop country artists. “Taylor Swift is just pop with twang,” says Guzman. Among her music interests, Guzman has also been inspired to get multiple tattoos and piercings. “I want a sleeve of the mythical world �ight-ing the real world.” A child of parents with tattoos, Guzman has “always wanted one”. “Your body is a canvas, you have to live with it until the day you die,” Guzman reasons. With tattoos and six piercings in her future, Guz-man will certainly �it in with the rock crowd at concerts later in her life.

A long time fan of the idea of an unrealistic world, Guzman wants to explore the idea even further by making it evident on her skin, as well

as through the music she listens to. “Music is my transport to my only little world. Music is what feelings sound like.”

Brewing up conversation By Kendra Hix Jarrett Mitchell tries his best to keep Iowa local with his coffee bar Wake Up Iowa City. “I feel like the specialty cof-fee isn’t Iowa City,” he said. “Some people feel like corpo-rations make a city. [Iowa City is] more of a destination.” Wake Up Iowa City is lo-cated inside the White Rabbit. Mitchell has owned the bar for the past year and a half all because of his friends. “My friends bought White Rabbit and were moving in and said they wanted to col-laborate,” he said. “I thought it

would be a good idea.” A native of KeoKek, Iowa Mitchell went to college at the University of Iowa and then went to graduate school in San Francisco, CA where he received his degree in art. He then lived in Portland, OR for a few years until mov-ing back to Iowa City in 09’. According to Mitchell, Iowa City is a place where he thought he could do some “good things.” “There’s opportunity in Iowa. If you want to do some-thing it’s possible.”

DISCOVERING

Reviving world’s vinyl recordsBy Peyton Fulbright The developing hipster phenomenon, combined with middle age men has saved Record Collector Inc., where Alissa Witzkey works as a salesman. “I’m not the owner, but it feels like it sometimes,” said Witzkey. “I’m glad vinyl became popular again. They came back in the ‘90’s, and it’s trickled off since then, but we have a lot of local support.” Opened in 1985, the record store was opened as a typical music emporium, but over time as music transferred to an online business, the establishment became a diamond in the rough, according to Witzkey. According to her, she got the

job because she loved the store. “When I was 14, I started coming in all the time for cd’s, and got into collecting vinyl when I was 16. I would buy all sorts of 60’s garage and psychedelic albums. Eight years

ago I lost my job, and the owner asked me if I wanted to work there,” Witzkey said. Although they didn’t grow up with it, she says that vinyl records are most often bought by students at the university. “Most of our business is from college kids who buy indie and classic rock, as well as alter-native,” she said.While most of the business is from students, she says there are plenty of older folk. “Even though it’s mostly kids in the shop, there are still some middle aged people who come into the shop to relive their glory days.”
