Lady Gaga, Kelis, Feist— what do these artistshave in common? They allgot their start on Inter-scope imprint CherrytreeRecords.

East Lansing nativeMartin Kierszenbaumfounded the label. His latestproject is the Cherrytree’sfirst compilation digitalalbum, “The CherrytreeHouse Sessions, Volume 1,”featuring stripped-downperformances from artistsincluding Sting, Feist, Kelis,Far East Movement andmore.

Kierszenbaum checkedin with NOISE to talk abouthis roots and the idea behindthis new compilation.

NOISE: What were yourfirst experiences withmusic in East Lansing?

Kierszenbaum: I studiedpiano as a kid and prettyquickly got into songwrit-ing. I tried to put togetherbands with kids fromOkemos and East Lansingand met other musicians byposting fliers on the walls atMarshall Music. I ended upconnecting with musiciansfrom DeWitt, Okemos andEast Lansing, and we wereplaying in high school bandsand clubs. It was a differenttime. Things moved a lotslower because there wasno Internet.

NOISE: When did yourealize you wanted to workin the music industry?

Kierszenbaum: Prettyearly on. I was going tomiddle school, and I remem-ber learning about musictheory. I learned if I tookthose building blocks, Icould write my own songs.My parents let me haverehearsal space in my livingroom, and they were theonly parents who let us dothat, which was really cool.

NOISE: When did youdecide to move from Michi-gan to Santa Monica?

Kierszenbaum: Well, I

graduated from U of Mwith a triple major: Span-ish literature, music theoryand communications man-agement. I was playingwith a hip-hop group atU of M called Maroon,and this was 1984, sothere weren’t a lot of hip-hop groups. We pressed arecord, and it started get-ting notoriety… When Igraduated, I ended up get-ting into a master’s pro-gram at the Universityof Southern California incommunications manage-ment. I put everything Ihad in my Chevy and droveout there. I went to schoolat night and got an intern-ship during the day, andthat’s how it all started.

NOISE: You startedCherrytree Records in2005. Tell me about thelabel’s roots and connec-tion with Interscope.

Kierszenbaum: I hadsigned a Russian groupcalled Tattoo on my ownlabel, and also worked withKeane, and they were bothdoing really well … I wentto my boss at Interscopeand told him I’d love tostart my own label andbrand it as “pop alterna-tive,” and develop those

artists until the main-stream pays attention tothem. So we started it, andthe first artist I signed wasFeist. The roster grew toinclude Keane, Lady Gagaand Sting.

NOISE: This record is acompilation of songs vari-ous artists have performedat your Cherrytree office,right?

Kierszenbaum: Yes —the Cherrytree Housecame from my experiencein East Lansing and myparents letting me set upinstruments in their livingroom. So now, it’s like astage set up in my office,and a lot of the instru-ments I collected over theyears from Music Manorand Marshall Music. I actu-ally saved up the money tobuy some of these instru-ments as a kid when I hada Lansing State Journalpaper route, and they’restill in my office today.

Television

Over the years, one of thelast things you’d see on the youth-obsessed MTV was a parent.

Now moms and dads aren’tunusual sights, even on the twintotems to wild behavior and itsconsequences — “Jersey Shore”and “Teen Mom” — that arekey to the network’s latest resur-gence. Many young viewers tar-geted by MTV have no problemwith parents being an active partof their lives, even during rebel-lious years, and expect theirpresence on television.

Understanding such genera-tional nuances is crucial to MTV,which has the brutal imperativeof reinventing itself every fiveor six years to appeal to a

new group of 12- to 24-year-olds.Their viewers eventually growup. MTV never can.

The latest reinvention hasMTV with its best ratings infive years. The third seasonof “Jersey Shore” was the net-work’s top-rated show ever, andthe second season of “TeenMom” similarly zoomed up thecharts. The challenge now is fig-uring out how to build on thatsuccess and know when to beready for the next reinvention.

This spring, MTV has steeredin a surprisingly traditionaldirection.

MTV debuts a remake of the“Teen Wolf” series on June 5,brings back “Beavis and Butt-head” later this year, has itsown weight loss series for teensand two “Jersey Shore” spinoffs

in the works. Between recycledideas, spinoffs and a new focuson establishing scripted series,MTV’s approach feels more likea typical broadcast network thanever before.

MTV viewers “want morefrom us,” said Van Toffler, pres-ident of MTV Networks Music/Films/Logo Group.

Toffler, who has been withMTV since 1986, and newlyappointed network president Ste-phen Friedman, at MTV since1998, have survived its ups anddowns over the years.

MTV viewers are interestedin the rites of passage — such asyoung people moving into theirfirst apartments and getting jobsin “Real World” — that are relat-able yet more entertaining thantheir own lives, Friedman said.

“We’re looking for the lives ofour audience amplified,” he said.

Blessed with success, MTVis looking to spread the “JerseyShore” franchise with two spi-noffs. In one, Nicole “Snooki”Polizzi and Jenni “J-Woww”Farley buy a new house together;the other focuses on what discjockey Paul “DJ Pauly D”DelVecchio’s life is like. Neitherproject has air dates yet.

For MTV and other networks,taking advantage of a huge suc-cess in this manner is like hold-ing your hand close to a fire. Youcan be warmed or burned, and itcan all happen very fast.

“They’ve seen these ups anddowns throughout their history— these big highs and then itall comes crashing down,” saidMaureen Bosetti, an executivevice president at ZenithOptime-dia, an ad buying and researchfirm. “You don’t want to overex-pose anything and you don’t wantto have too much of a good thing,because it will burn out.”

That explains the breadth ofprogramming under developmentat MTV, with scripted series thebiggest step. “Teen Wolf” remakesthe old Michael J. Fox movie ata time vampires and other super-natural creatures are popular.

What you see is whatyou get with MaMa’sKitchen — a cute, littlebreakfast cafe north ofMSU’s campus.

It’s a place that stirs upmemories of Mom’s home-cooked meal. No frills,nothing fancy, just some-thing simple and consistentthat starts the day off right.

The sceneAgnes and I headed

to MaMa’s Kitchen aroundlunch time — brunch forus. Students were studyingand couples were sippingcoffee there.

I noticed on the wallleading to the bathroom, afriendly reminder to wash-ing your hands afterward,and the little sayings dis-played all across the walls— all words of wisdomMom may have given.

It instantly brought backsome warm memories.

I don’t know about youbut while I was growing

up, we couldn’t eat in frontof the television. It had tobe around the dinner table,together as a family.

The mama at MaMa’sKitchen must be a bitmore relaxed than mine,as two small, flat-screentelevisions were on ESPNabove the breakfast bar.

There also is a bakeryright in the front of the res-taurant that sells a varietyof goodies.

The foodWe decided to share the

“BIG breakfast” meal andan order of waffles.

The Belgian waffle ($5)comes with choice of blue-berries of strawberries,which is what we opted for,and whipped cream. Thestrawberries were refresh-ingly fresh and light,and wasn’t sitting in heavysyrup, which was a bigplus. The whipped creamgot taken off, which, whiledisappointing at first, wasprobably for the better inthe end.

The breakfast platter

($7.95) has three eggsmade your way, three sau-sage links, hot cakes, pota-toes and toast. Everythingwas more than filling. Infact, we didn’t even geta chance to touch the hotcakes.

The sausages werePolish sausages, whichinstantly made it better. Myone forkful of eggs werecold, but the rest, thank-fully, were warm. The pota-toes were big chunks thatwere crisp and hot.

but not tip)

The Greater Lansing Convention and VisitorsBureau has enlisted businesses from Okemos,Holt and Grand Ledge to take part in the 17thannual Be a Tourist in Your Own Town festivities,but the most bustling spots on Saturday will bedowntown Lansing and Old Town.

Visitors can tour the Capitol and then sprawlout its lawn to watch as brave souls rappel theBoji Tower.

In Old Town, visitors can stroll through thestreets full of artists competing in Chalk of theTown in between stops at Preuss Pets and ElderlyInstruments.

There are plenty of bargains on classic summerfun too, including free miniature golf, skate rent-als and boat rides around the Lansing area.

There’s more than enough touristy fun on tapto tucker out your kids (and you) during the day,but if you have any energy left we’ve put togetherour picks for the local nightlife events worth find-ing a baby sitter for, too.

Be A Tourist in Your Own Townhighlights area’s best spots — so get out!

SATURDAY»EVENTS

DestinationTricia [email protected]

The official Be a Tourist in Your Own Town festivitiesdon’t start until Saturday, but the DeWitt Creativity Groupand the Old Town Commercial Association have joinedforces to put on the first Old Town Riverbash on Friday.

The event will shine a spotlight on local high schooltalent and introduce the suburban teenagers to the creativecommunity in Old Town with a series of performances andactivities throughout the evening.

“We’ll showcase high school students’ creativity in manyways and introduce them to the cool atmosphere of OldTown,” said event organizer and DeWitt teacher Jeff Croley.“It’s a win-win for everybody, and all the high school stu-dents are really pumped about it.”

DeWitt teacher Jason Lafay said Riverbash is a extensionof the DeWitt Creativity Group’s goal to create opportuni-ties for teens to contribute to their community.

“Usually, talent retention strategies are focused on col-lege students, but if you start getting them younger whenthey are in high school, I think it means a lot,” Lafay said.“High schoolers are not so used to being courted in thisway. It makes them feel important and it builds a strongersense of regionalism with Lansing as the anchor.”

The Riverbash will include a poetry slam, documentaryvideo and short film showcase, improvisational comedy per-formances and live music by local high school students andrecent graduates.

Sir Pizza will host the evening’s kickoff speakers at 5 p.m.Most performances will take place in Sir Pizza or outdoorsat the corner of Turner Street and Grand River Avenue.

The Old Town Riverbash also will include a shootingcontest by the Lansing Capitals Basketball team at ArcticCorner. Riverboat tours of downtown Lansing will be avail-able for $1. Most of the Old Town galleries will stay open forextended hours for the monthly First Friday Gallery Walk.

Teams of four can sign up for a historical landmarkscavenger hunt by meeting near the Clark Hill building at6:30 p.m. and be in the running for prizes.

For more information about the Riverbash, go towww.dewittcreativitygroup.com.

City StreetsExhibition

As Catherine Babcock left a recep-tion at the Lansing Art Gallery lastsummer, she couldn’t help but noticethat downtown Lansing was buzzingwith activity.

“I thought if we couldn’t get themto come into the reception maybe wecould take the art to them,” she said.

It inspired Babcock, executive direc-tor of the nonprofit Lansing Art Gal-lery, to team up with the City ofLansing Arts & Cultural Grant Programand Arts Council of Greater Lansing tocreate the City Streets Exhibition.

The interactive outdoor art exhibitfeatures prints of 80 works of art byMichigan artists along the sidewalksnear the intersection of WashingtonSquare and Michigan Avenue. It will beon display Saturday during Be a Touristin Your Own Town.

“This is a great way to expose (thepublic) to art and educate them with-out really making it feel like we’re edu-cating them,” Babcock said.

Artist Tony Hendrick of GrandLedge was a juror for the exhibitionand also has two paintings on displayin it.

“I’ve participated in ArtPrize for thepast couple of years in Grand Rapids sothis is a nice thing for Lansing to beable to do to get art out to the public,”he said. “It’s a great beginning, and I’dlike to see where it continues.”

Each piece in the exhibit is accom-panied by a phone number, whichplays a recording of the artist describ-ing the artwork when called, and anumber to text message if the pedes-trian wants to vote for the piece as thePeople’s Choice Award for the exhibit.

Hendrick said he was impressedwith the quality of work submitted forthe show.

“It’s fun to see artists in your ownstate and the kind of work that theyare doing and to realize that there’s alot of depth in the artists right here inMichigan,” he said. “You don’t have togo to New York City or California to seegreat art.”

The prints will be on displaythrough September whenever weatherpermits. Each piece also has a webpage on the exhibit’s website,lansingcitystreets.com, with photos,artist bios and statements about theirinspiration.

Voting for the People’s ChoiceAward is available on the site, as well.Some of the original pieces of art areon display in the Lansing Art Gallery,and many are for sale.

DownTimeOur pop culture experts tell uswhat’s on their radar

OkkervilRiverI AM VERY FAR

(Jagjaguwar Records)Will Sheff doesn’t get

near enough mainstreamnotice as a lyricist and story-teller, because he belongs inevery conversation includ-ing The Mountain Goats orThe Hold Steady. And thevivid images, wrapped inaffecting melodies he craftson “Very Far,” should go along way toward propellinghim beyond.

Ditching some of theAmericana-flavored instru-mentation for distortedwave of sound, Okkervildials up the dark synth popinfluence both sonically andwith the occasional disaf-fected vocal delivery. Butbehind it all are the pierc-ing, startling literate lyricsthat open a world somehowwelcoming and insular.

Ending with the buildingsurge of the near-trium-phant ‘The Rise’, “I Am VeryFar” leaves you exhilaratedand drained like the bestof challenging music, andits late-night confrontationand reverie rewards yourreturn time and time again.

MUSIC

Eddie Vedder, “UkuleleSongs” (CD)

Not every musiciancould pick up a ukulele,write a handful of songsand turn them into analbum worth listening to,but Vedder does. Veddercan make a song featuringonly himself and his littleinstrument sound full andcomplete because his voiceis such a weathered,grounded thing. His bari-tone counteracts thesprightly sound of the uku-lele, ensuring that the lis-tener doesn’t get lost ina sea of treble clef andoptimism, and the com-bination allows Vedder awide range of emotionalexpression.

Ozzy Osbourne, “Bliz-zard of Ozz / Diary ofa Madman: 30th Anniver-sary Collector’s Edition”

Obsourne’s two bestalbums have been sprucedup yet again, but this timewith much more excitingresults. The special “Col-lectors Edition” box set,which is only availablethrough Ozzy’s official site,is the real draw. The30 Years documentary isenjoyable, but at 42 min-utes, could have beenlonger. Whether youchoose to buy the indi-vidual albums or splurgeon the $150 box set, theOsbourne camp and SonyMusic have done an admi-rable job putting togethera reissue package that doesthese albums justice.

“Biutiful” (DVD)Director Alejandro Gon-

zalez Inarritu coaxes anastonishing performancefrom Javier Bardem, whomoves dreamily througha Barcelona underworldmarked by flashy stripclubs, grim sweatshopsand crowded streets. Hisface shows every momentof compromise and defeathe has lived. Like KlausKinski in “Aguirre, Wrathof God,” Bardem wearshis character’s existenceso comfortably that hedoesn’t seem to be actingso much as inhabiting thepart. The colors are richand saturated, and someof the director’s signaturetricks are on display, suchas moments of great activ-ity coupled with uttersilence. He specializes infractured narratives,multi-stranded stories thatleap across space to pro-voke unlikely, unexpectedconnections, and succeedsat this, once again.

Alone in the Class-room,” by Elizabeth Hay

Hay’s follow-up to theScotiabank Giller Prize-winning “Late Nights onAir,” has the author conjur-ing up a story that is multi-generational in arc andthat hop-scotches acrossgeography. It’s a stirring,majestic tale that is ulti-mately about small townsin Canada and the manylayered secrets that theyharbor. This is a richly tex-tured bon-bon of a read,and it’s often hard to putdown because of its denselayers. Hay has anotherchance at the Giller withthis wonderfully delightfulconcoction.

pparently, my readers did at leasttwo things over the winter —kicked ice boogers off cars in park-

ing lots and got in touch with their inquisi-tive sides.

The plethora of Mailbag questionsreceived this week exceeds my wordallotment, so some of you will be disap-pointed. Hence, the Mailbag format maybe making more frequent appearances inthe near future. Keep ’em coming.

“Ray Lewis says crime will increase ifthe NFL season gets locked out for 2011.Is he talking about the fans or the play-ers?” — Michael Jones, Birmingham, AL

I rarely know what Ray Lewis istalking about. From the look in hiseyes during the ESPN interview you’reundoubtedly referencing here, I’d say he’sworried about the fans.

Lewis basically stated in a very apoca-lyptic way that people depend on profes-sional football to make their lives worthliving, and without it, would fall intofugue states and wander the streets loot-ing and plundering. I tend to think thatwe’ll all find something else to do with ourSundays, but that’s just me.

“Will Jim Leyland be fired if theTigers don’t finish this season strong?Would they ever let him go midseason?”— Kris Corr, Lansing

I definitely don’t think he’ll be gonebefore the season is through.

Leyland and Detroit GM Dave Dom-browski are notoriously close; and both oftheir contracts expire after this season.Depending on how the Tigers fare in theAL Central pennant race (I think they’lltake 2nd) — we could be looking at a verydifferent management team at ComericaPark in 2012.

“How does MSU football’s backupquarterback situation look?”— Dave Mulder, Lansing

Many of you may recall the last timewe watched the Spartans play football;in the Capital One Bowl against an Ala-bama team that made our quarterbackslook like toddlers on NyQuil.

In the fall, senior quarterback KirkCousins returns for his final year boastinga beefy résumé chock full of leadershipexperience, skill development and wins.Second on the depth chart is sophomore

Andrew Maxwell, who you’ll likelyremember for taking a few vicious shotsto the head and neck region duringthat same bowl game. Both Cousins andMaxwell spent their spring break attend-ing a quarterback camp, tightening uptheir fundamentals before the upcomingseason. This season will provide excellentexperience for Maxwell from the side-lines — I expect him to have a good graspof schemes by the time he takes the helm.

“Could Gus Johnson make the WNBAwatchable?” — Shawn Secor, Lansing

Probably? He’d need to come up witha super exciting way to describe missedshots. Ooooooh, burn.

“How long before Monkeyball replaceshorse racing, the Ice Capades and tennisas the top attraction for NBC sports?”— Shawn Secor, Lansing

(For the record, Shawn submitted 14questions in just under five hours. Well-played, sir.) With the 7th Annual WorldChampionships set for Aug. 6 — the MBfield has yet to be fully determined. Forsome reason, I feel like if we ploppedBob Costas, Dick Enberg and Cris Collin-sworth (mic’d, of course) in camp chairson the sidelines of Center Court, we’dhave gold.

I’ll speak to the commissioner.

Concert promoter Gold-envoice is taking its wildlysuccessful Coachella ValleyMusic & Arts Festivalmodel and doubling it.

Paul Tollett, the archi-tect of Coachella in Indio,Calif., and head of Gold-envoice, unveiled plans tolaunch a second multi-daymusic event in 2012 at theIndio site. Coachella willnow be held over two con-secutive weekends, the firston April 13-15, 2012, andsecond on April 20-22, 2012.

“We will attempt to pro-duce two identical festivalweekends,” the companysaid in a statement. “Thatmeans same lineup, sameart, same place, differentpeople.”

Modeled after majorlong-running European fes-tivals such as Denmark’sRoskilde and England’sGlastonbury, Coachella iscoming off its second-con-secutive sell-out year, host-ing approximately 90,000people per day. Tickets forthe 2011 edition went in arecord six days, and theevent, held at the EmpirePolo Grounds, is consideredthe unofficial kick-off to thesummer festival season.

Passes will go on salevia Coachella’s official siteFriday and will be avail-able until June 10. In prioryears, tickets were not solduntil the lineup had beenrevealed, and were soldvia Ticketmaster. Ticketsare once again priced at$269, not including addi-tional fees, and for those

who don’t wish to pay infull up front Goldenvoiceis again offering ticketsthrough a layaway plan,with 10 percent down andeight equal monthlypayments.

Coachella 2011,headlined by the likes of

Kanye West, the ArcadeFire, Kings of Leon andRobyn, was one that fea-tured numerous technolog-ical and hospitality tweaks.To cut down on counter-feiters and gate crashers,Goldenvoice instituted elec-tronically encrypted wrist-

bands that festival-goerswere forced to wear toget within sight of thegrounds. Additionally, Gold-envoice has been heavilyinvesting in enhancementsto the Polo Grounds andsurrounding area, helpingto upgrade roads by fund-ing additional lanes, andincreasing festival space by25,000 square feet.

Fans will be allowed tobuy tickets for each week-end, should they be inclined,but festival passes will belimited to four per house-hold. Additionally, fans willnot be allowed to changeweekends once a purchasehas been made. Passes willbe mailed in March, andif tickets remain after theone-week presale, they willbe made available once thelineup is announced. Inter-

national attendees will havethe option of picking uptheir passes at an off-sitewill call.

Tollett had earlier toldthe Los Angeles Times thathe had been caught off-guard when Coachella soldout in six days, as previousfests had been on sale forweeks, and typically soldout only days before itbegan. After the sellout,Goldenvoice kept a vigilanteye on counterfeit tickets —photos of which were postedon the Coachella website —and has also taken note ofthe number of real wrist-bands being sold on eBayor Craigslist.

“Do NOT buy passesfrom a third party,”Coachella has alreadywarned on its site. “Theycannot be authenticated.”

‘Silver Sparrow’BY TAYARI JONES(ALGONQUIN)

This book hooked mefrom its first sentence: “Myfather, James Witherspoon,is a bigamist.” Set in 1980sAtlanta, award-winningauthor Tayari Jones’ thirdnovel tells the story oftwo families that share onefather — the public With-erspoon family with wifeLaverne and daughter BunnyChaurisse, the product ofan accidental teenage preg-nancy, and the private familyborn of passion with Gwen-dolyn and daughter DanaLynn Yarboro.

The fascinating tale of twofamilies inextricably linked yetpermanently divided unfoldsfirst through the eyes ofdaughter Dana, who is pain-fully aware of being a secret,and then through the view-point of Bunny Chaurisse,who is blissfully unaware ofthe shaky foundations onwhich her entire existencebalances. Jones skillfullyweaves a number of themesthroughout the girls’ narra-tion, including the definitionof family and identity, thenature of sisterhood and thestatus of race in the South.Beautifully told and fully real-ized, I highly recommend it.

‘RogerCorman’sAction PackedCollection’SHOUT! FACTORY

(Approx. 280 min.Unrated, PG, R)

Another dispatch in theCorman Cult Classics line fromthe superheroes at PlanetShout! this satchel of Southern-fried romps from the heyday ofmindless drive-in cinema deliv-ers the goods for the less-than-discerning moviegoer.

These dusty pursuit moviesare a strange breed of cultfilm, in that they don’t layon gratuitous violence or sex.There is a dash of both, sure,but even with an R rating, thegoal is a fun, near slapstickadventure as the alluring ladyleads outsmart, outshoot orjust plain blow up everyonearound them.

The highlight is “TheGreat Texas DynamiteChase,” a proto “Thelma &Louise” story featuring Clau-dia Jennings (“Gator Bait”) asone half of a why-the-hell-not bank robbing duo, thatis full of simple, low-budgetexplosions and a few laughs.

These play great on asweltering day, so crack a coolone and plan a triple feature.
