“No matter what, you al-ways can turn to music,”says Adam Ray. “If you hada bad day, had a great dayor hate life, music will takeyou to that place where youwant to be and let you forgetabout everything else.”Ray knows the power and
joy of music. He fronts AllEnds Black, an up-and-com-ing metal band out of Lan-sing.Formed in 2007, guitarist
Doug Horstman and drum-mer Damien Striff met upand started crafting orig-inal, heavy-hitting music,inspired by the likes ofMachine Head, Mudvayneand Sepulatra. After goingthrough a few lineup chang-es, the current formationof Ray, Horstman, Striffand Darrol Hunt (bass andkeys), All Ends Black un-folded, and the dudes puttheir sights on getting out
and playing live.Playing live is the heart
of All Ends Black.“The best thing about
playing music is being ableto perform live and showthe raw emotion that comesout on stage,” Ray says. “Welike to show that we workedso hard putting in to makingthis so people will enjoy it.”He’s chuffed to have al-
ready opened for nationalbands Soulfly and TheMisfits.“Opening for Soulfly was
amazing, since Max (Caval-era, lead singer) is one ofour idols,” he says. “It was agreat honor.”And while All Ends Black
takes cues from metal-cul-ture touchstones such asPantera, the sound is stillfresh: “We’re a metal bandthat likes to blend a littleof every thing we like asa band and make our ownoriginal sound,” Ray says.On the slate for 2011:
playing more shows and re-cording a full-length thissummer. More immediate,catch All Ends Black on Fri-day, Jan. 7, at The Loft indowntown Lansing for the
band’s first headlining showat the venue.Expect a variety of
fist-pumping metal tracks.Hardcore beats, staccatoguitar-powered riffs, thrashmetal tempos — it’s allthere.“Every song we have
sounds different,” Ray says.“It surprises me sometimeswhen I listen to our mate-rial.”

LOFTYLIVING
NOISE loves to give you ideas for where to eat,rock out or discover something new in your city.But you can’t hit a concert or go out to dinner everynight of the week. Some nights — especially thistime of year — there’s nothing better than snug-gling in with a home-cooked meal, favorite movieor good book. Read on to hear how sevearl localdwellers have turned their apartments into spacesthat feel like home.
TIM SCHMITT
Photos and story by Tricia Bobeda | NOISE
Tim Schmitt, 32,lives indowntownLansing in thePere Marquettelofts.
The space: 1,150square-foot, tri-levelpenthouse loft with rooftopdeck. Master bedroom andbathroom take up top level.
The rent: $1,200.
Can’t beat his: View. Fromhis vantage point in theloft just off MichiganAvenue, Schmitt and hisfriends can watch fireworksfrom the Lansing Lugnuts’games on his deck withbuilt-in seating.
How do you define your sense of style?
I’m a total minimalist, I don’t like clutter. But I can’tlet stuff go. As I replace stuff I’m going towardthat look. I read a lot of Dwell.
You have some unique art pieces on the walls.
Where did they come from?
I’ve become a bit of an art collector over the years.Some of it is from college, some of it is fromart festivals, autographed band posters. There’s
meaning behind every piece in the house. TheEast Lansing Art Festival is a fantastic place toget good art at a really good price. I boughtfive pieces of art (there) last year. They do sucha good job getting a diverse group at the artfestival that no matter what your tastes are,you’re probably going to find something you like.
What’s your favorite element of the space?
I’m such a chef and baker. I like creating and I liketo eat. As awesome as the deck is, (my favoriteelement) has to be the kitchen. I have peopleover on a regular basis for dinner, and we’ll dodesserts a lot. We’ll just walk upstairs and eat onthe deck in the summer.
What are the challenges of the space?
The biggest challenge is it took me a while to getused to the heating and cooling. The thermostatis upstairs in the bedroom, but the (heating) unitis down here in the kitchen, and the kitchengets heat coming in the elevator shaft. Sothe kitchen is always boiling. The living room
has all thewindows, soit’s cold. Ikeep the heatpretty lowand just end up using blankets and sweatshirtsbecause it gets so hot (in the kitchen) and that’swhere I ammost of the time.
What made you choose this apartment?
I looked a lot along Michigan Avenue and I looked alot in Old Town. I knew I wanted to live on the busline, and since I work in East Lansing, it’s reallyeasy.
Any advice for someone considering a move to
downtown?
If you know the area a little bit, I’d ask people.Everyone knows someone who has or knowsabout a cool space. If there are second storieson buildings, they’re probably residential spacesif it’s not obviously an office. That’s a good wayto run into new spots.
Clockwise from top:
Rooftop deck: Schmitt’s penthouseapartment sports a spacious deckwith a view of downtown Lansing
and Lugnuts’ fireworks.
Bit of whimsy: Schmitt’s bachelorpad has a sense of humor, from anair hockey table in the bedroom toa jelly bean machine and toys along
the shelves.
Unique art: Schmitt searches fororiginal artwork at summer
festivals and keeps ticket stubsfrom fun nights out in his mirror.

MARGARET ANDLANCE BRINKMANMargaret and Lance Brinkman,both 26, live in downtownCharlotte with Gwyn and Puma,their cats.
The space: 2,500 square foot loft
The rent: $1,050
Can’t beat their: Entertainingspace. The wide open floor planand spacious kitchen makes theapartment perfect for throwinga dinner party or all out monstermash for Halloween.
How do you define your sense of
style?
• Margaret:If I had to pick, itwould be more modern, but inthis place it’s just so easy togo vintage that it’s hard toavoid it. Inspiration being lack ofmoney, everything is hand-me-downs. Some of these piecesI wouldn’t pick to have in amodern apartment, but they fitthe space really well.
What’s your favorite element of
the space?
• Margaret: I think theuniqueness. I’ve never seenanother place like this. It usedto be home to the fraternityorganization the Oddfellows.This room used to be theballroom. It has a really coolfeel to it. It’s relaxed, it’s notpretentious, it’s very livable.
What are the challenges of the
space?
• Lance: You have to have a giantdust mop.
• Margaret: We thought really hardabout trying to define spaces soit still felt like a home and wasn’tjust a big open spot. We neededto find more furniture to fill it.My parents’ dining room table(is) normally an enormous table.To put it in here, without theextended pieces, it looks tiny andridiculous.
Advice for someone considering
an unconventional living space?
• Margaret: Try it. You can alwaysmove. We were worried aboutmaking noise for each other, andhaving private space, but ourschedules sync enough that itwasn’t really an issue. I wouldn’twant to try to have children inhere. It’s not a typical space, butit will feel like home once you’vebeen in it for a little while.
Next week:
Patty Wieber’s
downtown loft
Clockwise from top:Bedroom: The Brinkmans’ lofthas a bedroom nook withbuilt-in bookshelves that helpseparate the space.Kitchen: Tin ceiling tiles andhardwood floors give the lofta vintage feel.Hang your hat: The couplehangs retro maps, clocks andhats above desks on theexposed brick walls.Warm and cozy: A workingwood-burning fireplace helpskeep the loft warm.Party central: A neonsaxophone sign greets guestsin the atrium outside theBrinkmans’ apartment, whichis a converted ballroom.

JULIE BECKERJulie Becker, 24, lives in Lansing with Oscarthe dog
The space: 1,200 square feet. 2 bedrooms,1 bathroom.
The rent: $850
Can’t beat her: Commute. Becker works in the house nextdoor to her apartment as an ideation specialist for MotionMarketing &Media.
What’s your design style?
• My style is scavenger eclectic. I like to find things as Igo, so it was really hard when I had my first apartmentbecause I wanted things to be decorated right away.It’s about taking time to find things that actually meansomething.
Where do you get design inspiration?
• A lot of the things that I do here are influenced by what I doat work. I also really like antiquing and old things. The moreI can integrate old with new and scavenging (the better).
What’s your favorite element of the apartment?
• The bookcase. It’s all the things that make me happy.It’s basically is a collection of the literature that I’ve readsince I was in basically ninth grade English, mixed with myHarper’s Bizarre collection, photos of my friends and familyand some of mymost prized tchotchkes. I just feel like thisis everything that I stand for, old and new, things that aresmall but meaningful.
You’ve lived in the new apartment for less than one year.
What are the challenges of this new space?
• I came from 600 square feet that I thought weredecorated immaculately. Moving into a space that wasmuch larger, with a hallway, foyer, the challenge wasfilling the space to make it look cozy but not like I threwsomething in there. And the rugs— I have a lot more rugsthan I did in my old apartment and rugs are expensive.
Any advice for folks decorating their first place?
• A lot of times people will ask if I will come over anddecorate their space. The thing that’s really hard is thatstyle is so personal. If you want your apartment to looklike mine, sure I’ll come over and decorate, but it’s reallyabout finding your own personal style and what makes youhappy. I feel like if you have a place to come home to everyday, it should be something that you love and makes youfeel really happy when you walk in the door.
You’ve done some painting in the apartment. Any other
do-it-yourself projects you’re proud of in the space?
I do a lot of, I don’t want to call it restoration, butrefurbishing and repurposing. What I really like is to takethings and use them for a different purpose. A wine glassfor flowers, garden baskets for shelves.
Clockwise fromtop:Memory lane:Becker’s hallwayphoto collage ismade up of framedphotography byfriends and localartists.Bright and bold:The giantsilverware hangingon the wall wasa splurge forBecker, but thetable and chairsare revamped oldpieces.Going green:Herbs and plantsgrow in thekitchen windowsillin recycledcontainers.Cozy combos: Softlighting and acomfy chair warmup Becker’sbedroom. Avintage trunkdoubles as a sidetable andadditional storage.

The Rock Canyon Band makes country music with arock & roll feel. The Lansing-based band’s current full-length, “We’ve Come A LongWay,” pays respect to theclassic country of Vince Gill and George Strait whileadding the pop-rock of contemporary country.Think Chickenfoot, Nickelback, Kid Rock.Jody Chelf (guitar, vocals), Bing Langham (bass, vocals)
andWarrenMoeggenberg (drums) make up the Lansing-based three-piece, and the guys headline two dates atTheWhiskey Barrel in East Lansing this weekend.When it comes to songwriting, egos are in check.“Personally, I have written with quite a few different
people, and writing with these two characters was theeasiest thing musically I have ever done,” Moeggenbergsaid. “We had a lot of fun with this project.”What makes a good country song? The song needs to
“speak to someone,” Moeggenberg said.“It may be just putting a smile on someone’s face or an
urge to get out of your chair and dance” he said. “Basi-cally, I think if you can make someone tilt their head andthink, ‘hmmmm,’ you’ve accomplished your objective.”

The tartar sauce at Oade’sBar & Grill is homemade.Could anything say “personaltouch” any better? And I’mnot just saying I was told thetartar sauce was homemade;the minute it arrived, sittingnonchalantly in my fish basket,I knew it looked special. ThenI tasted it. WOW. I asked An-drea Guerrero, the bartenderwho had just emerged from thekitchen with my food in hand,what kind of crazy amazingsauce this was.“Oh, I made it,” she said.
“We have regular tartar sauceback there, but when I’m work-ing I like to make it the way I’dwant to eat it.”So what does homemade
tartar sauce have to do withthe kind of place Oade’s Bar &Grill is? Everything. Guerreroputs the same personal touchon her tartar sauce, drink pour-ing and general hospitality asshe would for her friends andfamily— namely because sheconsiders all her customers tobe friends and family.
“When I first started work-ing here seven years ago, I’djust moved here from Iowa,”she said. “Everyone who camein here became my friend. Ihang out with them outside ofwork— being at work is kindof like just hanging out withfriends.”A lot of those friends are
fellow bar and restaurant em-ployees, who are particularlyfond of Oade’s.“It’s a young crowd,” Guer-
rero said, “between 21-30mostly.”Though the regulars are
on the young side, the moodis much more relaxed thanthe dance clubs or collegebars usually dominated by20-somethings. ThoughOade’s features a DJ on Fridaysand Tuesday Karaoke, the baris typically filled with more so-cializing among ‘regulars’ thanbumping and grinding.One of those regulars is Jer-
ry Garrigus.“I’ve been here ever since
the place opened up 1987,” he
said. “It’s a nice local, neigh-borhood-type bar.”As if 24 years as a regular
didn’t express Garrigus’ loyal-ty, he also built the water pongtables. Garrigus also inventedone of the most unique itemson the menu, the roast beefquesadilla.“It sounds weird, but it’s
awesome,” said Guerrero. “It’sour most popular thing on the
menu.”Less weird but equally
unique to Oade’s is the origi-nal Rocket Bomb, a drink withlayered, multi-colored ingredi-ents, Astropop-style.Plain and simple, Oade’s is
just a really nice place to hangout. It’s relaxed, it’s friendly,it’s the kind of place you go ex-pecting to make friends. Anddid I mention the tartar sauce?

Hook-up factor: Abunch of 20-somethingrestaurant employeesdrinking, chatting, danc-ing and not being on theschedule until noon thenext day? Yes. I’d say it’srather high.
Mural qualityfactor: Most mural-edbars feature the local col-lege sports teams. Oade’swall-length mural is of theinterior of Oade’s, which Ithink is awesome.
Heard that namebefore? Between Oade’sBar & Grill, Oade’s HiddenCamel and Oade’s Big Ten,it might seem that “Oade”is an uncommonly com-mon name in the area.But really, it’s just one fam-ily. Jeff Oade owns Oade’sBar & Grill and Oade’s Hid-den Camel, and a relativeof Jeff’s owned Oade’s BigTen 40 years ago.

I hope everyone received all they’dhoped for during the holiday season. I cantell you that every last Spartan football fanwould like to forget the first day of theNew Year after what I unaffectionately re-fer to as “Alabamapocalypse.”
NOT-SO-HAPPY NEW YEARIt was as if you could hear a collective
“oooooof” around the mid-Michigan areaaround 2:30 p.m. on January 1 as the windwas mercilessly let out of our formerly 11-1sails. My friend asked me, “Is Alabama get-ting a head-start on every snap?”Bowl-game-boat adrift or not, the fleet
is headed in the right direction. While wemight not match up against the man-mon-sters of the SEC elite this season, I’m con-fident that the program will bounce backto start the 2011 season in winning fashion.(By the way, if there ever comes a timewhen something in the shape of AlabamaDE Marcell Dareus runs full-tilt in my di-rection with ill intentions, I plan to assumea prone position and feign death.)
BEST CHRISTMAS GIFTHave you ever opened a package and
had not one single thought in your head?It’s rare — but it happened to me onChristmas morning. My younger brother,whose sense of humor is somewhere be-tween Moe Howard and Sheldon Cooperfrom “The Big Bang Theory,” purchaseda Shake Weight for me. If you’re unfamil-iar, allow me to acquaint you. The ShakeWeight is an obscene exercise device fea-
tured prominently in late-night TV com-mercials. The apparatus itself weighs justover two pounds, and harnesses the powerof “dynamic inertia” to form and shape armmuscles. It also makes a noise when usedthat closely resembles a loud fiesta maraca.Thanks, Chris.
U-M COACH? WHO CARES!As of press time, embattled Michigan
head coach Rich Rodriguez has NOT beenofficially sacked by the Wolverines — butsomething serious is looming.There’s flotsam about Stanford’s Jim
Harbaugh coming to Ann Arbor. There’sjetsam about Brady Hoke returning to theMaize and Blue from San Diego State.Who knows? Maybe U-M AD David
Brandon will try to snatch an NFL studfor the job. The best part about all of thisdrama is that MSU is quietly settling intoan offseason that will be far less tumultu-ous. At this point, Michigan administrationhas badly mishandled the situation.The Wolverines’ ability to recruit effec-
tively has been badly marred by the poortiming of decisions, and the players haveto be reeling from three consecutive tur-bulent seasons. Regardless of what hap-pens this week at the coaching position,the program has a mountain to climb to getback to the greatness of years gone by.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21): Venus isentering your sign, and it
will stay there for several
weeks. Even if you’ve been
happily single, now you’re
suddenly going to be
thinking about love.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19): The sun is
bringing you positive vibes.
Anything is possible. Focus
on what you really want out
of life and love, and then
concentrate on making it
happen.
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18): Yourpartner might need more
from you. Maybe you should
be doing certain chores
around the house to help out.
PISCES (FEB. 19 -MARCH 20): A romance is
going through some
changes right now, and this
is okay. Try to be Zen about
it. Transitions are natural,
especially in relationships
that have been going on for
a while.
ARIES (MARCH 21 -APRIL 19): As winter sets in,
you’re basking in a post-
holiday haze. You may have
connected with a flirty new
friend at a recent party.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): At the New
Year dawns you’re thinking
about what you really want
to happen in your romantic
life.
GEMINI (MAY 21 -JUNE 21): Venus is moving
opposite your sign, so you
might want to put romance
on the back burner. You
probably won’t have the
best clarity about which
decisions to make.
CANCER (JUNE 22- JULY 22): Soak up some
positive energy from
friends who really
understand you. Talk about
that relationship that
didn’t work out or vent
about problems in your
current romance.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUG. 22):There’s a solar eclipse, and
this could create ups and
downs in your relationship.
One minute you’re in love,
the next minute you’re
annoyed at your honey.
VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 22): You’re in major
planning mode, coming up
with schemes to take over
the world in the New Year.
Just remember to involve
your sweetheart in the
discussion.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23 - OCT.23): You could be suffering
from cabin fever, dying
to get out and enjoy a
big night on the town.
You might need to remove
yourself from some
personal entanglements.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24 -NOV. 21):Don’t get stuckin a rut. You can be a bit
of a control freak when
it comes to relationships,
always insisting that things
