New Girl Recap: Wham, Bam, Thank You, Jam
Didn't get a second season. It did, and he had to quit. He might be a tough act to follow, since it’s easy to get audiences to like you when you look like a Wayans. But Lamorne Morris, who plays replacement roomie Winston, tries his best. Winston, we learn, is Coach’s athlete buddy who’s back from two years as a pro-basketball player. Sure, the team was in Latvia, and sure, its logo was a single fig, but that still makes him top dog — or at least a higher-up dog than insecure roomie Schmidt. In addition to the deep-seated manhood issues that make him pop his shirt off at a moment’s notice, Schmidt is also tormented by the knowledge that he’s living in the best room in the apartment, which happens to be the one Winston vacated when he moved abroad. Will Winston make him give it back? Does anyone care?Nobody cares, right? Then let’s move on to the very slightly higher stakes in the episode’s main plot. Jess is running low on tank tops and other necessities because she left all her stuff when she ran out on cheating ex-boyfriend Spencer. After she destroys the TV, the boys demand that she go over to her old house and get her television back. (Cue Professor Kaling on the Klutz archetype: “Despite being five feet nine and weighing a hundred and ten pounds, she is basically like a drunk buffalo who has never been a part of human society.” Deschanel is probably shorter than five feet nine, but the point remains.
Oscillations showcases local, indie art and music
Locally-made music, art and jewelry are emphasized at Oscillations. In addition to Hohner Melodicas, clever logo T-shirts, hot rod art and psychedelia that make up the "eclectic" in the shop name, there's a range of other items to be enjoyed, each suiting its owner's artistic sensibilities.
Local guy Gian Pogliano is the owner of Oscillations. Pogliano grew up on Superior Street, attended a Montessori school as a kid and graduated from High School of the Arts, where Pogliano says he was fortunate enough to be part of its creative writing program. Pogliano attended film school at UW-Milwaukee, eventually transferring to Columbia in Chicago, where he graduated with a film degree.
"I heard that things were getting interesting (back in Bay View). There were a lot of creative people with a working class, unpretentious mentality moving in," says Pogliano.
If there's a philosophy underlying the workings of Oscillations it's one that supports community, broadly conceived. Pogliano believes that local music is important because it helps create "an ideological sense of community," that is, it structures the feelings of place that people need to share in order to have community.
But then Schmidt holds up an oversize T-shirt with the slogan “I am Claire,” complaining that the shirt's owner is the reason he had to switch rooms. Is that a fat girl joke, because the tee looks so baggy? Or is it just a joke about uncool T-shirts?

t-shirts – something that irks now as much as it did then. The first time I saw that low-fi, whispered purple hazed bass kicking Kickers video on the third week of the month Indie Chart Show Chart. I'd be going to gigs shortly after that.
