In front of the HCC last
Sunday, Evergreen State College
Police Officer Tony Perez used pepper
spray on Jasen Sato, the boyfriend of
an Evergreen student. The incident
resulted from a dispute over Sato's
dog, Mirra.
According to the police report,
at 6: 14 pm Perez was dispatched to
check out the unattended dog that had
been left tied to a light pole in front of
the HCC. Not finding its owner, Perez
took the dog and headed back to poljce,
services. Perez stopped the car when
he saw Sato approaching, "sc reaming
and waiving {5ic} his ann s." Perc z
asked Sato for identifi cation. Sato
sa id he didn' t have any. C ursing and
pacing, Sato tricd to o pen Pcrez's
patrol car. Sato eve ntua lly bega n
to walk away. Perez reque sted hi s
identification. Sato continued to curse
and pace. Perez, threatened by Sato's
increasing anger, took out his pepper
spray, and to ld Sato to step back. More
pacing, then Sato took a step toward
Perez.
According to Perez's offical
description , Sato "stopped in his
pacing and took a step towards me.
I observed that he was raising his
shoulders. It appeared to me that
[Sato] was in the process of throwing
a punch. At 1822 hours I deployed a
burst ofOC spray to [Sato's] facial
area. (Sato] backed up and began
screaming." (The words in brackets
were blacked out in the police report
the CPJ received. Salo's identity was
confirmed by eyewitnesses and his
girlfriend.)
About this time, Sergeant
Darwin Eddy a rrived .. Perez aimed
his tase r at Sato's chest, and Eddy
took out his pepper spray. Eventu a lly
they convinccd Sato to get on the
ground, a nd a rrested him for " failing
to prov ide info rmatio n and disorderly
conduct." They took Sato to po lice
serv ices. The dog was re leased " in
lieu of animal control impound ." Sato
was treated for the pepper spray, read
hi s Mira nda rights, sc heduled to go to
court, then escorted off campus.
Renee Healy, who witnessed
the cofffrontation between Sato and
Perez, said it occurred around 5:30,
and that it took about an hour before
Sato was given medical help. "If you
ask me, I think Perez was causing
more of a disturbance," she said. She
thinks that ifSato had been given
more time, he would have calmed
down . Perez could not be reached for
comment Tuesday night.
Sato was charged with
disorderly conduct, and was scheduled
to go to court at 8:30 a m Wednesday at
the Thurston County Courthouse. He
did not appear.
Renata Rollins and Andy Cochran con tribu ted to this report,
Next week's C PJ will include a more
detailed report of this incident.

we certainly don't want anyone to think we're promoting the far-right." The Freedom Socialist Party's website can be found at http://www.socialism.com/.

In the October 9th issue, the Coope r Point Journal
printed an erroneou s entry in its Calendar. It read.
" Fascism resty led for the new millennium . Freedom
Socialist Party educational sess ion , 1-2:30 pm in the
New Freeway Hall ... " This suggested the Party supports
fascism, which is untrue. The first sentence should have
read , "Ly ndon LaRouche: Fascism Restyled For The
New Millennium," which was the title of the Party 's
presentation.
J
The Cooper Point Journal apologizes to its readers
and to the J:reedom Socialist Party for this mistake.

Now that the melodic pitter-patter o f raindrops have returned to the Northwest, I find myse lf missing the long days
of summe r heat and .midnight ba lm . Thi s summer's adventure took me to the historic wood s of Amhe rst. MA as
pa rt of an und e rg radu ate summe r resea rch program f unded by the No rtheast A llia nce fo r Graduate Educatio n and
the Professoriate il~ co nj unctio n with the Naii onal Science Founda tio n. T ho ugh the re a re ma ny sc ie nce research
prog ra ms offe red du rin g the summe r across the countr y. my prog ram at the Uni ve rsity of Massach usetts w as spe c ifi ca ll y geared towa rd s $t ude nts o r ( o lo r \ v 110 seek to break in to sci e nce. math, or e ng i nee ri ng (S M E) fiel ds .
As a part o rthe prog ra m. each stude nt is pa ireJ w il h a fac ulty llle nlOr. The me ntor is respo nsible for g ui d ing the
students th ro ug ho ut the s Ulllmer in iindin g a mea ningful and q ua lit y science re sea rc h project. I was pai red w it h
wi ldlife bi o log ist. Dr. Ro be rt Brooks. Upo n my ar ri va l in Massac hu sett s, Dr. Brooks wa s eager to int roduce me to
h is la bo rato ry. Hi s la b was a thirt y- minute d ri ve to the Quabb in Rese rvo ir. a mongst the swa rm s of mosq uitoe s a nd
tic s. D urin g my fi rst day in the fie ld . Dr. Broo ks a nd I were hav ing a conversatio n alo ngside a ve rn al pool w ith an
ove rwhe lmin g mosq uilo popul atio n. O n fini shin g hi s sentence, D r. Brooks sla pped h is a rm , w he re upon dozens of
blood filled mosquitoes exploded a ncl sent a s pray of bl ood throug h the a ir. Dr. Brooks looked over in my directio n
and said, '·Unfo rtunate ly. yo u arrive d in a prett y bad summer, but you' ll get used to it. Just like me." To be honest,
at that moment, I was calcul ating how much it would cost me to get a cab back to the airpo rt.
The following two months of the program provided to be a learning experience one does not forget. Dr. Brooks
was right ; I did get used to the mosquitoes. Fo r two whole month s, I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to
head to the gloriou s office of Mothe r Nature to exchange some blood for scientific data. For the first time in my
life, I saw bears, moose, and wild turkeys run without bars or cages. My research project eventually titled itself
" Effects of Beaver (Castor Canadensis) Dam Failure on Downstream Structure and Fauna."
Don't be mistaken; the program was not all about research. Many students of color face various difficulties when
entering the science field. To look around the class and notice that you 're the ONLY or one of very few students of
color can be discouraging. Deciding to focus your career on molecules can be frustrating when a black man can't
even catch a cab in New York. For students in graduate school to think you 're only there because a quota needs to
be filled, can be-hurtful and demeaning. Science, for students of color, can come at a price. Fighting stereotypes
and dealingwith discrimination that still lives within the science realm are topics that were covered during lectures given as a part of the program . Panels of current graduate students of color were brought in to discuss relevant topics and frustrations. As a student of color, I was able to take away vital skills and mindsets that will help
me continue in my studies.
Outside of early mornings and bug bites, compensation for my research was more than generous. The program
covered all transportation, housing, meals and field trips. They also hooked me up with a $2,500 check for completion of the program.

If you would like to get involved with a summer research program for students of color, an online search would be
your best bet. A good site I've used is: hup://www.cic.uiuc.edu/, If you find something you like, get your professor
to help with the application. They have a good idea of what selection committees are looking for, and can help you
out. Because many applications are due in early winter, I would suggest to start looking now.
Remember that you can't be selected if you never apply.

Lake Limerick Country Club is a
peaceful course located in Shelton. With
wide fairways and large, tricky greens ,
the course is perfect for a college student
interested in working on their game.
Lake Limerick is a 9-hole course,
which can be played twice for 18 holes.
As is common in the winter months, I
went to th is course after a rainstorm had
plowed through . Surprisingly, the course
was very dry.
The greens are elevated, and so
all the water runs right off of them, and
the fairways themselves are well drained .
If you're like me and play in the rough
every few holes, the rain made it very
soggy and difficult to hit out of. The
traps, which I had the misfortune oftesting, were damaged by water run off from
the rainstorm . Although, with simple
maintenance I would have never noticed.
The course was fun to play and at
$14 weekday and $18 weekend play, it was
affordable for this poor college student.
Par for the course is 36 for 9 and ·72 if you
play 18. This course has been rated 67.3
with a slope of III and covers from 2926
yards, front 9, up to 5864 yards, for 18.
Directions are fairly simple, just
go to www.LakeLimerick.com and click
on the directions link. This will tell you
exactly how to get there from Olympia.

John Trudell: voice of native
artist,activist comes to Evergreen
Jesse Johnson
The legendary footsteps of John Trudell have empowered Indigenous
Americans through activism and art. The road,for Trudell has been filled with
sacrifice and pain as well. Mixed with the ancestral blood of Santee Sioux and
Mexican-Indian nations, he gained international attention as the spokesperson
for the Indians of All Tribes Occupation of A1catraz Island. He then led the
American Indian Movement (AIM) as the national Chairman in the 70s. In 1970,
hours after protesting the colonial powers in Washington D.C. by burning the
U.S. flag in front of the FBI headquarters, his wife, her mother, and his child
were killed in a mysterious house fire, which Trudell to this day believes was
the act of the FBI. His suspicions are not unfounded. After the 1979 Freedom
Of Information Act, Trudell requested his file from the FBI. "In '80 [the FBI]
old use they had 17,000 pages," Trudell said, "but they were only going to give
us 60 pages since it was a national security issue."
Afterwards, Trudell decided to continue in the struggle, but chose new
approaches as an actor, lecturer, poet, and performance artist. After writing
several poems, he recorded his first album, Tribal Voice, in 1983 featuring his
spoken word over traditional Native music . He kept the music coming. When
his album, "AKA Graffiti Man," was released in 1986, it caught the attention of
renowned artist, Bob Dylan, exclaiming it as "the best album of the year. " His
. unique style of spoken social consciousness over blues guitars and harmonious
singers make Trudell stand out amongst all the others. The man will make you
think - even the FBI had to admit that Trudell is "extremely eloquent." Trudell s
past is undeniably legendary and his future is prophetic for the people.

Jewish Voices for Peace responds to responses, asks
fo r res po nse Eli \
Crawford and Carmel Aronson
Carmel and Eli checking back in! We wanted to share some feedback that we received
about our last article (Are we being human about the occupation?, Oct. 2nd, 2003). We
wrote, "Specific names may have been mentioned" to Les Purce, which led to many of
the Middle East faculty on campus being concerned for their jobs. One member of the
TESC community was uncomfortable with this statement. He felt it stirred up contlict
unnecessarily.
The point is well taken. We were not at the meetings with Les Purce. It's true that Middle
East faculty were concerned for their jobs, but it seems this time is past. The purpose of
including this in the first article was to inform the student body of the seriousness of this
issue on campus, not to reopen old wounds or perpetuate gossip.
The second comment we received was regarding keffiyehs at graduation. We wrote
that there were folks wearing them, and that this upset some Jews. In reality, some Jewish
folks also wore keffiyehs. Assigning particular political beliefs to whole groups of people
is dangerous and prejudiced . We apologize for failing to recognize the strong Jewish tradition of social activism, including anti-occupation activism. It is strange that we, two
progressive Jews working against the occupation, failed to represent ourselves . This is,
we think, a symptom of a larger issue that affects the general climate in the community.
With this in mind , it is important to recognize that speaking again st the Occup::nion
of Palestine is not inhe rently anti-Jewish. But when this is done without an appli ed consc iousness of how anti -Jew ish oppression works. it can become. in effect. anti -Jewi sh.
We believe that the Israe li occupati on of Palestine is contmry to every Jew ish value
we we re taught. Je wish law clearl y states how to treat each other, the land and our neighbors. Our traditi ons of Justi ce. Compassion. and Truth are in direct contradicti on to what
is happening in Palestine.
As folk s who c are about the stabilit y of Ismel. we see the Occup<Jlion (and nut
the Palestinians or a Palestinian State) as bein g a direct threat to the safety of Israeli s.
Economically, Morally, and Politicall y, the occupation is not servin g the interests of
Israeli s. The safest option for Israel is to stop the occupation . But all the fu ss un c ampus
is about anti-Semitism, right?
So what is anti-Jewish oppression? In contrast to other types of oppression, anti-Jewish
oppression is cyclical. This means that the level of oppression cycles from extremely
dangerous, to barely visible, and back to extremely dangerous. This can be confusing to
some, who feel that they never see Jews being attacked, or feel that such incidents ended
with the Holocaust.
It is very important to understand that anti-Jewish oppression peaked, but did not
end with, the Holocaust. For many Jews the cyclical nature of persecution remains at
the forefront of our collective memory. Someone's actions or words can inadvertently
re-stimulate this collective history. The relative safety and empowerment of Jewish communities today do not necessarily indicate a permanent end to the oppression of Jews.
Jewish history is filled with examples that validate this collective fear. This can make it
extremely difficult for Jews to think clearly about the Occupation (and how to ensure the
safety of the Jewish people).
Both non-Jews and Jews have trouble separating Israel from Jewish people and
Judaism. When non-Jews have trouble making this distinction, it can create unsafe sjtu-.
ations for Jews who are uncertain about, or who oppose the occupation. It 's not anyone s
fault; the Israeli politic has often represented itself as the voice of all Jewish pevple. It is,
however, important not to hurt people with hurried generalizations and panicked urganizmg.
On the other side, it is also true that anti-Semitism (here meaning anti-Jewi sh oppression) is increasingly uscd as a tool to silen ce criti cisms of the Israeli government. Thi s is
obvi ously not okay. Anti -Jewi sh oppre ss ion is ve ry real and should not be manipulated
to serve politit:al interests.
Thi s sc hool year. so me prominent local peace organi zati ons and acti vists ha ve dec ided
tu address the Iss ue of anti -Jewi sh oppression in an attempt to do better organi zing and
create safe r places fur Jews who would like to be. or already are, invol ved. In turn . we
hope that the Jew ish community s res pon se will be an introspective look at anti -Arab
stere otypi ng/anti-Arab racism.
Hopefully. issues of anti-Jewish oppression and anti -Arab racism will continue to be
openl y addressed and worked throug h in our campus. community, and beyund. Fcar
and pain perpetuate thi s contlict, and that is something that folks on both sides have in
common.
Perspectives: Don't jump the gun on campus police-arming debate
Dave Stiles
Let's talk about the Campus cops this
week. When I came to Evergreen this year
as a freshman, I was handed a copy of The
Seventh Annual Disorientation Manual, and
I dare say it looked like an official pamphlet,
or at least until I opened it up and read some
of, well, the articles inside.
I found it interesting that whomever
wrote the two-page spread about "How the
Cops Got Their Guns" and "Drug Raids,
Lying Cops, & Maced Students" failed to
acknowledge their allegations by putting
their name alongside their claims. Then
it hit me, my education began as soon as
I realized that disinformation meant false
information deliberately and often covertly
spread in order to influence public opinion
or obscure the truth (as by the planting of
rumors). So now it's my turn . ..
I'd like to address the weapon issue
this week, as I have some experience in
training law enforcement officers to use
deadly force, just one of many hats I wore
back when I pinned on a badge for a living.
When I was at one of the college community forums on arming campus police, no
one knew who I was or where my background and experiences came from. What
they heard were the concerns I had as a
student and future community member, and
that was why the officers here are expected

law enforcement officer in the state. They are
asked to do the same job, provided the exact
same training as any other sworn municipal
officer in Washington, and yet were expected
to do the same job and experience the same
hazards as any other cop, without the same
tools of the trade.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where
might makes right, and regretfully, laws or
expected community standards based upon
the wishes of the majority, must be enforced,
sometimes with force. Every cop I ever met
or trained told me they never looked forward
to having to use deadly force , but understood
why it was so necessary to be able to resort to it
as a final means in enforcing the law. A gun is
only one of many tools avai lable to an officer.
Just showing up in a uniform is a show
of force, so should we strip the officers
of their uniforms so some individual will
not feel intimidated?
We do not live in our own Iittle microcosm here at Evergreen, hiding behind
walls and fences; we live on an open
campus and that means we live with its
problems as well. To ask these officers to
protect our lives and property, while hobbling them in the process, is just asking
for problems in this litigious society,
when an event occurs and they were
unable to uphold an expected standard
of service, based upon similar agencies
of their size.
Think about it...
LOVE THIS HIPPIE SHIT
What?! Whoa! What was up with that
" Fuck This Hippie Shit" mini-article last
week? Actually it was hilarious . I feel
almost the same way about excessive bong
usage. However, I disagree with major portions of what Nolan Lattyak had to say. The
war. .. urn, first off, has Nolan ever experienced war? And uh, how worth it is to us
to send people overseas to kill people and
get killed? For oil? Or for Bush and Co. 's
bank account, because you do know that
they all have major ties to the oil industry
and its profits, right?! If you're in favor
of having a war, you should damn well be
out fighting in it. Maybe afterwards you'll
understand what war is and what war does
to people. Yo, duh.
As for your Carlyle stocks .. . I don 't
really know what exactly those are, but I
do know that the politicians who take us
into war don't give a rat's ass about your
minor stocks. They ' re interested in their
stocks, their family member's stocks and
their friends' stocks. These are much bigger
stocks than you'll ever get your hands on.
Oil. .. I don't really care. I think it'd
be much better for us to have to deal with
not being dependent on foreign oil. Hey,
then maybe we'd bother to develop cleaner
methods of transportation/mass transportation. In the meantime, more people
would take up bicycling and walking and
the nation 's chronic weight gain would
slow down significantly. You'd just have
to deal with not making a trip down to
Portland .. . by motor vehicle. Less pollution would be released into the environment and people who have land would
probably grow stuff on it. I don't know
how detrimental a lack of oil would be on
the US economy, but I'm not sure it would
be all that bad for us in the long run. I have
to admit the reason I don't care is that I
wouldn't be affected very directly. Hell,
I couldn't drive if you left me in the car
with the keys in the ignition . Oops.
I have a question for Nolan. He calls
us "hippies" .. . What does he call himself?
Last but not least, I happened to enjoy and
greatly appreciate those signs that say "el
vato is not working fleas call ex 6140"
and "elf service recycling." It gives the
institutional look some personalization
and character. I wish people would switch
the "Men" and "Women" bathroom signs
more often ... that might wake me up in
the mornings!

Celebrate-in-Resistance
to the FTAA: Olympia to
Miami
Mike Treadwell
Cory Fischer-Hoffman
As I prepare to leave for Miami, I take
with me the passion and vision of the
Olympia community. I am inspired by all
of those who are working to create a better
world. Many students and community members are putting their energies into forming
this vision. Whether we are volunteering,
learning permaculture or guerilla gardening, practicing Yoga, planning rallies, writing grants, buying IQcally, le,!rning a new
language, or dancing in the moonlight - we
are manifesting our vision of a more just.
sustainable and beautiful world. I am contributing by organizing in resi stance to the
FTAA.
The Free Trade Area uf the Ameri cas is
a treaty that will affect 800 milli on peopl e
throughout the hemi sphe re. and once again
the peo ple have been excluded from neg otiati ons. The brilliance of a treaty is that it can
bind countri es into legal agree ments th m arc
diffi cult to escape and need not be enac ted
throu g h even a fabri c at e d de mo c rati c
process. Delegatcs, primarily government
official s, business e lites, and trade lawyers
from 34 cuuntries will meet in Miami to try
and reach an agreement on the biggest freetrade bloc in hi story. Just like NAFTA (the
North American Free Trade Agreement) the
FTAA has no safeguards for workers, the
environment, or regional sovereignty. The
FTAA looks to destroy any such "batTiers"
to trade, and carries with it an artillery of
binding penalties if governments act in discOl'dance with these policies. Under Chapter
II, corporations can sue governments
for creating "barriers"(i.e. environmental
regulations) to free trade. Another dismal
possibility is the privatization and com. modification of the public sector, so that
the public sector can enter the market, and
thus be traded. If the FTAA goes into effect
for the anticipated 2005 deadline, the lives
of teachers, students, farmers. small business owners, environmentalists, immigrants,
women, and all of those who depend on the
already insufficient public resources of the
hemisphere - will be devastated.
Upcoming events in our community:
On Sunday, October 26 at 3 p.m . at
Traditions Fair Trade Cafe, there will be a
community teach-in on the FTAA. Teachers,
students, women , labor, and environmentalists will speak about the effects of the FTAA
on our community, and on the larger global
community.
On Thursday, October 30 at 6 p.m . in
the library lobby, there will be a teach -in on
the Invisible Hand and Fist of the Market:
Economic and Military Intervention in Latin
America. We will focus on the FTAA and
the School of the Americas/Assassins (now
known as WHISC, the Western Hemisphere
Institute of Security Cooperation).
Both events will include viewing footage
from the recent WTO Ministerial in Cancun.
These events are intended to open up dialogue, and mobilize us all for action . Join the
Olympia community for these events, or join
the global movement in the celebration-inresistance in Miami from November 17-21,
2003 : The theme of carnival is spreading
across borders from Chiapas to La Paz ,
Bolivia, from Brazil to Argentina, from
Cancun to Miami. Here in Olympia we must
arm ourselves with our visions of a more just,
sustainable, fun and peaceful world. Let us
dance and sing ourselves forward!

Much of the "progressive" (whatever that means; Ayn Rand may have been right
when she said there was nothing new about the "new left") thinking these days revolves
around what I would refer to as digging skeletons out of the closet and relating them
to everything wrong today.
When any bond-digging Statist finds a skeleton, it provokes anger among some
like-minded people and they have to do something about it. However, before these
people do something about it, they must make claim to some argument that it somehow
affects today. So, you can then go be like Lyndon LaRouche or even worse, David
lcke, and come up with some thinly disguised anti-SemitiC conspiracy theory. The other
option is, you could force some unrelated change on people because the skeleton is the
justification and everyone is embarrassed by its odor.
Life changes all the time. Society and its attitudes have changed much more than
their idle counterpart, the government. I guess for some people it s not changing fast
enough, or worse, not in the direction they want.
Much of the progressive-leftist philosophy is based on an "all thingsrelativedoctrine." You could see this at anti-war demonstrations before the Iraq intervention . You
wo uld see signs at these demonstrations raving about everything from the related slogan
" No Blood For Oil" to the otT-topic " End War, End Racism," and even furth er to the
baftling slogan. "More School s, Les s Bombs." (Schools, at least at the K- 12Ievel, are
pretty well -fund ed as it is. Al sd. what makes you so sure th at the money that is bein g
would otherwi se be spe nt on somethin g

No. they were not. Tom Paine was supposedly a drunk. Jefferson owned slaves,
and Ben Franklin "had hi s way with
women." You 're not perfec t and you 'r e
guilty of something as well.
I wont say that the skeletons in the closet are not worth finding . However, these
skeletons must be weighed with the rest of the story. All the bone diggers want is to
have you pay attention to the skeleton. The bone diggers almost always have ulterior
motives, and if they pretend to be objective they 're not or theY're lying. There is always
another part of the story .. . and is often ignored.
A good rest of the story piece I'll tell you is this: After the Civil War, some released
slaves wanted to go back to Africa. The problem was , these former slaves weren·t
Africans , they were Americans, they spoke English, etc . ... America bought some
land from France on the west coast of Africa. This nation was named Liberia. Ever
wonder what the first thing the released slaves did when they got to Liberia? The first
thing they did was they enslaved the locals . Ha, oh the irony . .. there are no human
heroes in any age ...
So for all the " progressives," my advice to you is to slow down. Take one issue at
a time . Don't lob five unrelated issues together and say they are related. Do thi s and
then maybe I'll come to your damn anti-war rally.
Life changes all the ti me. SOCiety and
its attitudes have changed much more than
their idle counterpart, the government.

The body is its own aesthetic; its dynamics are controlled by the human emotions, the pain- physical
and mental.
Our bodies signify what is greater than consciousness. It represents what is beyond imagination, relying
on a higher power. No true mind can comprehend the enormity of the Beyond. With our bodies we stress
our nature and truest forms of emotions on a divine level.
Pushed beyond the threshold, what is now chaotic, my body stands frozen
in time as a chaotic calamity of nature-the authentic essence of nature.
With that knowledge, a book of poetry centralized around the aesthetics
of emotions is born. Hidden with the realm of the mind all along, staying
dormant for that pivotal moment to be released and shared with others.

I bet T. rexes were really crappy at foursquare . Why? Because the ir arm s were so
small. Even if a T. rex was in fourth square and had the audacity to call Bl ack Mag ic

And I am a master. And he is a sucker. A fuckin g suck er.

You know you ' re a rock star when
you've played on the "Conan O ' Brien
Show." You know you've made it when
you ' re barely old enough to drink,
and touring the U.S. You know you're
finally successful when you have really
cool hair.
Howie Day, the 22 year-old singer/
songwriter from Bangor, Maine, has been
barreling into rock-stardom since he was
15, playing local clubs and bars. Now that
he finally is one, Day is headlining his
very first tour and stopped in Seattle on
Monday night. After the whirlwind of the
first two weeks of his tour, Day is ready
to go head-on into his dream.
"I'm kind of a workaholic," Day said
from Colorado. "When I get out on the
road a weird transition takes place and
touring becomes kind oflike an addiction.
I' m really digging it! "
Day is no stranger to the road or his
compulsion to making every note fit into
perfect unison. To promote his 200 I debut
album Australia, Day spent two consecutive years touring, only to go back into
the studio shortly after. But the exposure
paid off. Now, with ex perience on the
road and in th e studio under his belt,
Day has released his second full-l ength
record , Stop All the World Now.
And what a testament to Day's truest
form .
....
2003
Stop All the World Now may be Day's
sophomore release, but you'd never
know it. With an album so mature and
mesmerizing, one tends to forget they' re
listening to a young man with a young
career. Instead, Day's wisdom far supercedes his years. The record is ajoumey of
reckoning, struggling with getting older,
getting wiser, and getting through it all.
"It's really nice to have an album that
reflects where I'm at now."
Through his growth, many changes
have also come for Day. Since his establishment as an artist, Day has toured and
recorded solo, having an entirely different
quality to his music and his fans. " Anyone
who saw me open for bands would be in
awe of how comfortable I was," he said.
"But I kind of got to the point where I
was really comfortable with it-almost
bored. Once that happens, nothing really
changes." So Day took a brave step into
new territory, hiring his "dream team" of
band members, making Day even better
than he could have imagined.
"Spontaneity is a little scary ... but I'm
having a ball with it," he said. " It took me
so long to find the right people, it was kind
of like a blind date! "
Without letting his flawlessness falter,
Day's sound is richer than ever before. " I
have really great band members," he said.
"We were kind of born knowing where I
came from and being into that." On three
of the tracks, Day incorporated a 25-piece
orchestra for a "classy" appeal, while he
wrote piano pieces for others. Perhaps
the most shining moment for Day, comes
with his revised version of "She Says." A
song that previously appeared on albums
in, what Day called "demo form," now
takes it's place in finished form on the
newest album.
Instead of going the way of overproduction and letting his unique style
become diluted into the background of
his musicians, Day is now able to achieve
his greatest potential. "I love playing
solo, [but] I think some people are going
to be surprised at how big some of the
old songs sound with a band behind me,"
assures Day.
With things picking up for Day, he 's
ready for whatever comes next. After an
appearance on Conan, selling as many
records in one week as he did in two years,
and a new a new band, Day knows exactly
where he's headed .
" It's only going to get better from here,"
Day promises.
