THE LAST WEEK IN REVIEW FEBRUARY 1-8, 2017 COMPILED BY SASHA GOLDSTEIN, MATTHEW ROY & ANDREA SUOZZO MOLLY WALSH

Shelburne Selectboard member Josh Dein

That’s the proportion of Vermont’s population that identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender — the highest of any state in the nation, according to Gallup. The polling company believes that regional disparities have to do with varied levels of social acceptance in each state.

The Burlington City Council voted to ban smoking in all city parks and beaches. Fresh air for all!

THIS OLD LAND

OUSTER DERAILED

PLATTER COMPILED BY SEVEN DAYS STAFF

A bill introduced in the Vermont House would charge customers 10 cents for plastic carryout bags. Can you spare a dime?

A federal judge last week sentenced a 32-year-old Weathersfield man to 15 years behind bars for a series of eight bank robberies across Vermont and New Hampshire. Matthew Martin disguised himself as a woman during a Brattleboro heist, where he pulled out a fake bomb and a BB gun before making off with nearly $4,000, according to authorities. During a Springfield holdup, Martin wore a fake beard. All told, Martin stole more than $25,000 during his months-long spree. He turned himself in after the U.S. Marshals Service named him Fugitive of the Week in December 2015.

4. “Scott Wants Local Officials to Defy Trump’s Immigration Order” by Alicia Freese. Gov. Phil Scott called for a new law that would prohibit state officials from enforcing Trump’s immigration executive order. 5. “Burlington’s Magnolia Rebrands, Offers Dinners” by Julia Clancy. The longtime Burlington restaurant is changing its format — and its name.

BADGE OF DRUNKENNESS

This guy’s no Eagle Scout. A drunken driver careened into a parked police SUV just after midnight on January 31, according to police. Adam Dykema, 30, allegedly crashed while Trooper Brian Connor watched for speeders along Route 100 in the town of Eden. The crossroad at the crash site? You guessed it: Boy Scout Camp Road. No one was injured, but authorities charged Dykema with DUI and driving with a suspended license because his car didn’t have a necessary interlock device installed.

SEVEN DAYS

Po-Po

This lost-and-found item might just stay lost. Vermont State Police responding to an attempted break-in last week at some storage sheds in Lyndon found that the suspect left behind a bag containing several items. Trooper Matthew Tarricone told Seven Days that he suspects something “spooked” a burglar who bolted the scene — minus some stuff. If you would like to claim your belongings, Trooper Tarricone asks that you call him at 748-3111.

DUBIOUS DISGUISES

The University of Vermont unveiled plans for an $80 million overhaul of its athletic facilities. No, the building won’t be 14 stories tall.

2. “Vermont U.S. Attorney Eric Miller Announces His Resignation” by Sasha Goldstein. In his resignation letter, the Obama appointee quoted former acting attorney general Sally Yates, whom President Donald Trump fired.

could go forward, with a major caveat: Selectboard members who would testify about Dein at Friday night’s session couldn’t then vote on his removal. Further, board chair Gary von Stange could not vote on the issue. Mello wrote that von Stange’s testimony in court indicated he was not impartial. It was a packed house Friday night when reporter Molly Walsh arrived. “It’s ridiculous. I think it’s all politics,” said Toni Supple, a former selectboard member. “I just think this is totally unwarranted ... It’s a kangaroo court.” In the end, the two sides reached a compromise that the board approved unanimously. Dein will stay on the board but will not vote on matters related to the salt shed. He admitted no wrongdoing. Von Stange called the compromise a way to “go forward in a positive way.” And as for Dein? “I will continue to ask questions,” he said. Read Walsh’s full post at sevendaysvt.com.

GUTTING THE GUT

1. “Vermont DMV Glitch Registers Green Card Holders to Vote” by Dan Bolles. The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles says it accidentally forwarded data for green card holders — who can’t vote — for automatic voter registration.

osh Dein almost made history last Friday night. The Shelburne selectman survived an effort by fellow members to kick him off the board — which would have made him the first-ever Vermont selectman to face such an ignominious fate, according to lawyers involved in the situation. Tensions on the board have been high. Dein has questioned the town’s legal bills stemming from its long, drawn-out fight with Vermont Railway over a salt shed on its property near the LaPlatte River. Other board members accused him of divulging confidential legal strategies, which Dein denied. The board had scheduled a Friday night meeting to consider booting the elected member, invoking an obscure and unusual provision of the town charter. Dein sought an injunction to block the removal bid, which led to town officials testifying in Vermont Superior Court Friday morning. Judge Robert Mello ruled that the meeting

Four more Vermont properties are now officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Might be time to list the entire state.

When was the last time you bellied up to a proper steakhouse meal? For one night, Butch + Babe’s chef Narin Phanthakhot and owner Kortnee Bush are transforming their Old North End bistro into a bastion of beef. Place your napkin in your lap for a classic meal that opens with Parker House rolls and smoked butter with Côtes du Rhône rosé, followed by Caesar salad, tossed tableside and served with a pour of delicate Loire Valley white. But these are just preambles to a hefty Boyden Farm Beef New York strip — matched with My Essential’s plummy, peppery 2013 California Cabernet and potato-and-brussels sprouts gratin for good measure. While that all sounds like a big load to carry, save room for the Baked Alaska finale.

urlington-based R&B singersongwriter/producer Jamell “NYT” Rogers lives his life according to a simple mantra: “Know your truth.” He defines this maxim as having a deep understanding of oneself and to let that truth be the guiding force in one’s life. His moniker, NYT, has a double meaning. For one, it’s an acronym for his mantra — the “n” comes from the “n” in “know.” But NYT is pronounced “night,” which characterizes the darkness he’s seen and overcome in his lifetime. Rogers, 28, recently rebranded himself as Jamell NYT, in part to make his newer, melodic R&B stand out from his earlier hip-hop. For years, he’s been rapping as NYT and making beats under the moniker Nawtyboi, a catchall name for his production work. Rogers plays SideBar in Burlington on Wednesday, February 8. As he continued to grow his online presence over the last several years, Rogers found that his former name created difficulties for search-engine optimization. That’s because NYT easily confuses the search robots and mostly produces results for the New York Times. In 2016, Rogers released his first proper album, the ominously titled Substance Abuse. Its seven tracks feature a blend of icy hip-hop beats, warm acoustic guitar and finely woven vocal harmonies. But the record isn’t merely a collection of well-crafted pop R&B. Rather than making a set of fun, easy-to-swallow singles, Rogers aimed for a loftier goal. Throughout the album, he takes a hard look at drug addiction and Vermont’s multifaceted opiate crisis, both of which have affected him personally. “I told myself, ‘If I’m ever going to put out an album, it has to be the realest shit I ever wrote. It has to be from the heart,’” says Rogers. Born in Poplar Bluff, Mo., Rogers has seen drug addiction ruin the lives of many people close to him, starting in his early childhood. At age 6, he was taken away from his mother, Shirley Pratt, a struggling addict. Rogers was put into foster care and sent to Vermont, as was his brother, David. In Rogers’ words, he feels he was “not well received,” referring to his experience in Vermont’s foster care system and the fact that he never found a permanent placement. His love of music helped him cope with the turmoil of bouncing around

Let’s all take a trip to the Shelburne Museum, shall we? No, not for a fourthgrade field trip, but to see an impressive collection of rock-and-roll photographs. Beginning Saturday, February 11, nearly 300 portraits of legendary musicians will be on display at the museum’s Pizzagalli Center for Art and Education. Titled “Backstage Pass: Rock & Roll Photography,” the collection features rarely seen portraits of prominent rock icons, such as JIMI HENDRIX, the ROLLING STONES and the WHO. The exhibit also features legends of jazz, soul and hiphop, including JOHN COLTRANE, JAMES BROWN and the BEASTIE BOYS. Museum director TOM DENENBERG curated the show. The photos belong to a private collector who wishes to remain anonymous, and were originally shown nearly a decade ago at the Portland

Here’s some good news: A new ROUGH FRANCIS album is on the way. It’s been almost four years since the Burlington rock stars dropped their debut fulllength, Maximum Soul Power. Needless to say, we’re ready for another helping. Please pass the rock, won’t you? While no release date has been set yet, you won’t have to wait long to hear some of the new material. Two days, in fact. This Friday, February 10, Rough Francis take the stage at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington, and no doubt will unveil some new tunes. Support acts include locals BLUE BUTTON, DJ DISCO PHANTOM and recently reunited SPIES IN AMERICA. Expect some punk rock resistance, as well. In a Facebook post, Rough Francis front man BOBBY HACKNEY JR. invites all to “celebrate the beauty that the establishment wants to erase!” He goes on to encourage “loudness, flamboyance, public affection, friend making, niceness, thrashing, dancing, raised fist salutes and anything else that would freak out the alt-right.” I can think of a few other ways… But that’s not all! Rough Francis have a special treat for their hometown audience. They’ve put together a new EP, MSP 3: Counterattack, to be released exclusively on cassette tape and for sale

at this particular show. And when I say exclusively on cassette, I mean that the material is, for now, only available in physical form in this particular format. In other words, you can’t stream it. But you all have a tape deck of some kind, right? Good, that’s what I thought. Each cassette is slightly different — that is, the tapes themselves vary. The band recycled and redubbed classic cassette albums, recording their work over that of whoever originally released the particular tape. The one Hackney dropped off with me used to be BREAD’s Lost Without Your Love. At a diminutive 12-minute runtime, MSP 3: Counterattack zips by at a rapid pace, but not without making some bold statements. Hackney is as screamy as ever throughout the five tracks. The EP’s centerpiece is the anthemic protest banger “Big Box Law Enforcement.” The song flips a massive middle finger to hate and prejudice and unambiguously kicks the KKK square in its shriveled balls. Hackney calls out, “Rebel flags don’t really freak me out / The cross you burn won’t hold me back.” He drives it home on the cut’s fervent chorus: “Step on up / Take off the mask / Look me in the eyes.” The EP also includes a couple of less-than-political numbers, as well. “Good Person” is a heart-on-sleeve garage-rock love song. Its lyrics are as charming and simplistic as the wall of

Truth Be Told « P.68 from group home to group home. At 14, a social worker gave him his first guitar, hoping a creative outlet would help him process his feelings and frustrations. Rogers became an emancipated minor at age 16, but freedom from the system only led to more struggles. He spent much of his young adult years couch surfing, staying in homeless shelters and living on the street, all while attempting to stay positive and to channel his anguish into art. Several years ago, Rogers reconnected with his estranged mother after more than a decade of fruitless searching. He received a message from her through his SoundCloud account. But he didn’t see the message until six months after she’d sent it. She’d left him the phone number of a halfway house in Iowa where she’d been staying. By the time he called, he discovered that she’d since moved out. Though it seemed like another dead end, Rogers left his contact information in case she ever returned. Fortunately, she happened to stop by the halfway house to collect some belongings shortly thereafter. Rogers recalls the complexity of his emotions before speaking with his mother for the first time in nearly two decades. “You dream of what it’s going to be like,” he explains. “I had so much anger and resentment and frustration, because you have social worker[s] telling you, ‘Your mom was a fucking crackhead. She didn’t give a fuck about you. She couldn’t get clean, she couldn’t do shit, she couldn’t provide for you.’ And then I get on the phone with this woman who’s been hurting and lost her kids and it’s just like, ‘I have to forgive you.’” After reconnecting and finally spending some time together in both Vermont and Iowa, Pratt died of a drug overdose in 2014. “She called me the night before she died. It just fucked me up. So, when I was working on [the] album, I wanted her to be remembered and I wanted people to take from it how powerful drugs are to our society and our families,” he says. Rogers found an artful way to dedicate the album to his mother — her face is on its cover. Over the next couple of years, Rogers lost friend after friend to drug overdoses — he lost seven close friends in 2016 alone. Meanwhile, his musical identity was beginning to shift from rapping to singing, though he does rap intermittently on Substance Abuse. “I worked at singing for a long time. It didn’t come naturally,” says Rogers.

That statement is hard to believe, because Rogers sounds like he was born with his soulful tenor. His voice rivals that of Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, aka the Weeknd, an artist Rogers admires and to whom comparisons can easily be drawn. Substance Abuse, which you can hear on SoundCloud, is practically a public service announcement about opiate addiction. Nearly every track begins with an audio clip of news coverage surrounding Vermont’s heroin crisis. Rogers condemns and laments the devastating effects of drug addiction with tenderness and staunch conviction. He enlisted frequent collaborator Zach Crawford of SkySplitterInk for engineering and mixing duties. Death’s Bobbie Duncan worked with Rogers on the album’s opening cut, “Best Shot,” providing additional instrumentation. The album’s sentiments are straightforward and unambiguous. On “Nytmare,” Rogers raps, “It’s so hard / You’re so weak / They make it so easy / They make it so cheap,” referring to the endless cycle of addiction. On “The Fix,” he describes a woman’s personal demons: “She’s got needles / Under her skin / Those empty bottles / Are her only friends / I told you once / I’ll tell you again / She ain’t gon’ stop / Until it ends.” Though it may be a taxing listen, Rogers felt that he needed not to mince words. Rogers has become one of the most frequently booked acts in Burlington, which he attributes to his stamina, whole-hearted enthusiasm, relentless fan engagement and ability to be available at a moment’s notice. He says that he only recently started gigging with his current intensity, and that he often found it difficult to get his foot in the door as a singer-songwriter. “I’m a young, black artist singing R&B music in a dominantly white town that prefers Phish, Grateful Dead [and] a lot of jam band, folky stuff,” he says. “I can play that stuff, [too.] I might play some Jerry [Garcia], I might play some Phish, and people listen and they’re like, ‘Oh, this is intriguing.’ Then I might switch it up and play some R&B.” Rogers is currently at work on new material, which he describes as much more bright and bangin’ than the deeply personal, heavy Substance Abuse. But chances are the new music will continue his pursuit of truth. m Contact: jordan@sevendaysvt.com

Museum of Art in Maine (where Denenberg previously worked). I got a sneak peek at the exhibit while it was being hung. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but here’s a little preview. MATT On freshly painted gray and pink walls, the portraits take the viewer on a tour from the late 1940s through the mid-1990s and are arranged somewhat chronologically throughout the Murphy NEXT WEEK and Colgate galleries. The late ’40s are an appropriate time to THU 16 | FRI 17 | SAT 18 begin, since it was in 1949 that Billboard magazine recategorized “race” records as “rhythm and blues,” which led to the widespread exposure of African American music into previously whites-only spaces. As Denenberg writes in a brief essay included in the show’s catalogue, “This appropriation did more to engender racial harmony (and intergenerational discord) than JOE will ever be measured.” Moving clockwise through the Murphy Gallery, the show starts with the golden era of ELVIS PRESLEY, Coltrane and the TUES | $4 DRAUGHT / CLASSES BEATLES, and concludes downstairs in the Colgate Gallery with WED | OPEN MIC / STANDUP SHOWCASE modern masters such as KURT COBAIN, MOBY and BJÖRK. THURS + SUN | STANDUP HEADLINER / IMPROV SHOW Several photos gave me goose bumps, particularly two FRI + SAT | STANDUP HEADLINER portraits of jazz trumpeter CHET BAKER. The first was taken in 1955; the second was snapped more than 30 years later, just two years before his death in 1988. The latter is chilling, as Baker’s struggle with heroin is written all over his weathered face. Also (802) 859-0100 | WWW.VTCOMEDY.COM — and I have no logical explanation for this — the portrait of the 101 main street, BurlingtoN EVERLY BROTHERS gave me a serious case of the willies. As you take in the photos, a few may look familiar. Many are outtakes from the shoots that spawned famous album Untitled-27 1 2/6/17 1:23 PM covers. Several of the photos capture what Denenberg refers to as “moments of inflection,” in which two iconic superstars happened to be in the same place at the same time, and a photographer was fortunate enough to immortalize it. Laura Levine’s 1981 shot of GRANDMASTER FLASH and TALKING HEADS’ TINA WEYMOUTH is one example. The kickoff event on Saturday, February 11, which features the stylings of DJ Disco Phantom, is sold out. But, lucky for you, a series of events accompanies the exhibit. These include an informative lecture by Denenberg on Saturday, February 18; a listening event with Vermont Public Radio on Saturday, February 25; a talk with featured photographer Kate Simon on Wednesday, March 15; and readings of Bob Dylan’s poetry on Friday, March 24. The show runs through Sunday, May 7. Don’t sleep on this.

REVIEW this Coquette, Three

(GREEN MOUNTAIN RECORDS, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

In November 2014, the Seven Days reviewer of Coquette’s sophomore EP, Separatio, begged for more. Now, the quirky central Vermont rock trio has obliged, but with a catch. The new seven-track EP, Three, is the band’s last. Its members, singer/guitarist Cobalt Tolbert, bassist Angus Davis and drummer Titien Tolbert are doing what everyone eventually does: growing up and moving on. When Coquette first started, the fellas were all in their teens. Now in their early twenties, life is pulling them in different directions, for study or travel or work. (You can still see the guys play in Guano Loco, their other band with Jason Merrihew.) If one word comes to mind while

Stone Bullet, Sons of the Gun

(SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

throughout the EP. On the chorus, Cobalt Tolbert sings, “Bound by choice / Aiding the illusion of will / But we’re not going anywhere.” Bitter irony and self-doubt abound on “Before This Ends Well,” one of the EP’s most laid-back cuts. A basic barroom beat thumps underneath Tolbert’s cheeky message to a lover: “Leave me alone / Bid me farewell / Just let me go / Before this ends well.” Rather than the typical sentiment of wanting to break up before things end badly, Tolbert averts the cliché by fearing that he may get exactly what he’s always wanted. “Nona” plays with complexity and simplicity. Its arpeggiated guitar lick meets full-stop snares after every pass, creating a herky-jerky rhythm. As the chorus progresses, relief hits with a wall of “Whoa-oh-ohs.” Listening to the last of a band’s work is always bittersweet. But if I have to choose between a vibrant last hurrah and an unceremonious end, I’d choose the last hurrah every time. Three by Coquette is available at bandnamedcoquette.bandcamp.com.

On earlier projects, especially the band’s eponymous debut, the songwriting was often, well, goofy. Their second album, Drive, was peppered with more serious and personal material. The latest, Sons of the Gun, is the payoff of that growth. The album kicks off with “Don’t Call It a Comeback,” a riffdriven burner with a sing-along hook that explodes into a tasty, flashy Powers guitar solo. That happens a lot. Powers is a showoff shredder, but he’s more Vinnie Moore than Yngwie Malmsteen. For all his technical chops, what really makes his solo work stand out is his ear for melody. And he manages to make every solo on the album sound like it was the last damn recording of his life. For all the talent on the front end, though, Stone Bullet’s real secret weapon might be the rhythm section of Steve Audy on bass and Kevin Bell on drums.

Audy is the perfect mix of assertive and subdued, and the mix lets him shine. It’s not common for a hard-rock album to pack this much bass, but Lemmy would surely be proud. Bell is simply a machine. His calculated aggression is the essential ingredient that lets all the other players shine. Eschewing the double-kick polyrhythms of modern metal, Bell subscribes to the Phil Rudd (AC/DC) school of rock drumming: Push the beat and get out of the way. To the band’s credit, it’s almost impossible to pick a clear winner from this litter. “Taught Me Sin” is a definite highlight. “Heart Attack” was a brilliant closer. And it’s hard to imagine “Come Get Some” failing to flatten the crowd at any dive bar in America. The only drawback of Sons of the Gun is its brevity. At eight tracks, this is a shot glass short of being an EP. Still, the album offers the best songwriting and production of the band’s career so far. Any fan of the genre is strongly advised to give Stone Bullet a spin.

Bow Thayer & Band SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Barre band Stone Bullet have been honing a specific sound over the past seven years, as if Nirvana and U2 had never happened. This is brash, loud, awesome rock music. The conceit could easily veer into corny gimmicks and tributeband territory, but, as it happens, Stone Bullet kick some serious ass. Rock bands can be made or broken by their lead singers and, fortunately, Dave Lawrence is a real find. He sounds commanding as all hell, but he’s clearly having fun. Best of all, the man knows his range and stays there. Stone Bullet also have nailed the essential but elusive Zen of the dual guitar attack. It’s a treat to listen closely to the interplay between Lawrence and TJ Powers. There’s subtlety here despite the balls-out nature of the beast.

listening to Three, it’s “deliberate.” The twisting, polymorphic rhythms, strobing time signatures and interpolative vocal bursts feel wholly strategic and calculated. Otherwise, there’s no easy label for Coquette’s spasmodic repertoire. The EP variously crackles with powerpop energy (“Man Provides”), floats with serene, acoustic charm (“Wire Mother”) and tromps through the murky depths of metal (“Lotus Eaters”). “Man Provides” begins the EP with an exercise in polyphony. Two voices vie for the listener’s attention by disjointedly pingponging toward a fullforce surge of guitar riffs and four-on-the-floor skins. On “Great Leap in the Dark,” a singed guitar riff gives way to light-speed hihat and snare, then doubles down on electric and acoustic guitar as the verse begins. The song hints at the existential uncertainty of life, a recurrent theme

Dark Sparkle If you’re looking at the name of this Portland, Ore., band and think it’s

unpronounceable, you’re wrong — they’ve simply eliminated the vowels. Formerly known as Starfucker, and briefly Pyramiddd, STRFKR sanitized their name by dropping its vowels after gaining some traction in the mid-

aughts. The band’s initial success is perhaps due to a 2009 Target commercial that featured their song “Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second.” Or perhaps they’ve succeeded simply because they churn out kick-ass electropop that meshes gloomy nihilism and glittery beats tailor-made for the dance floor. STRFKR play on Sunday, February 12, at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington. PSYCHIC TWIN adds support.

he 20 works by Stephen Schaub currently on display at the Governor’s Gallery in Montpelier technically constitute a photography exhibit. But only a few of the pieces are printed on photographic paper. And the intriguingly unfocused images look more like paintings — or dreams — than photographs. Most of the works in “From Far Away” have been printed on one of a variety of unexpected surfaces: Amate paper, handmade in Mexico from bark; richly textured Gampi and Haruki papers from Japan; translucent synthetic vellum backed with 24-karat gold leaf; “mould-made” paper, which is machine manufactured but simulates handmade qualities; and, for Schaub’s most recent works, thin sheets of birch, maple and walnut. “Wooden Bowl,” on Amate paper, looks like a painted still life, its timeless handmade subject shown centered in a narrow, windowed pantry and bathed in liminal autumn light. The printed calendar in the foreground is one of the few clues that the image doesn’t depict a pioneer woman’s kitchen. “Girl in Red Cloak” and “Girl in Blue Dress,” both on maple panel, suggest the stories of “Red Riding Hood” and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, respectively. In each, the “girls” — Schaub’s teenage daughters — aren’t individuals so much as story prompts, their faces too blurry or shadowed to contain features. “By the River,” shot in black and white with a pinhole camera Schaub made, is so blurry it suggests a barely recalled memory. Its subject — two figures and a dog seen from behind, seated by a river bend — seems familiar enough to be a viewer’s own memory. Schaub’s works are like prompts to the imagination; they seem to suggest narratives that only the viewer can complete. To various degrees, texture is part of the content of these images. “Cloak,” for example, is a black-and-white midwinter scene printed on a 20-inch-square birch panel. It features a hooded figure pausing along a path in a snowy landscape edged with forest. Trees smear into darkness at the lower left-hand corner. To the right, the wood’s grain lines spreading across the snowy expanse make the latter appear

windswept, creating the impression of snowdrifts encrusted with ice. “I’m trying to break the photographic process down,” says the artist, reached at his studio in Pawlet. A classically trained photographer who studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology and worked for Polaroid and Leica, among other gigs, Schaub says photography is a “creative springboard” for him; his main influence is

painting. A rare Vermont-based artist to find success in New York City, Schaub is represented there by Michael Altman, a specialist in Hudson River School painting; and Peter Marcelle, who was Andrew Wyeth’s dealer. Schaub cites a number of painterly inspirations. Those include Edward Hopper and white-line woodblock printing, which was developed on Cape Cod in the 1910s. The latter influence is exemplified by “Picking Apples,” the work in the show that reaches perhaps the furthest beyond photographic quality. The 44-inch-square scene approaches the mood of an impressionist painting, but with its central figure outlined in white. That subject is a woman wearing boots and a wide-brimmed hat and holding a basket. She stands in a dark-green thicket of undergrowth that rises, seemingly uninterrupted, to a thicket of apple trees behind her. Red blossoms on the ground mirror the red apples dotting the trees above, and the woman’s coat adds a splash of the same color.

Schaub shot “Picking Apples” on a type of instant film, applied an encaustic medium, and used his fingernail to scratch white marks around the woman’s figure and throughout the vegetation. He followed the same process in two other works, “Girl on Dunes” and “Barns.” Schaub says he finds digital photography “pretty soulless.” He shoots exlusively on film with custom-made cameras, then digitizes the images by scanning them. Each image captured by his high-definition drum scanner is multiple gigabytes in size. Typically, he then enlarges them 60- to 100-fold. He prints the images on a 15-foot-wide d’Vinci fine-art inkjet printer. Only two of the early-2000s model exist in the world, according to the artist. Schaub acquired his while working as a master photographer for Yellowhouse, a now-defunct early pioneer in digital printing. The machine can print up to 54 inches in width — two works in the show reach this dimension — and any length. It prints each line 128

times, feathering in the ink in a process that lasts hours. Schaub spends months experimenting with each new material he uses for printing; it took him three months to perfect printing on the wood panels he sources from Michigan. Lately, he switched from printing in color to 12 dilutions of black, and he found a Vermont-made low-sheen

varnish to replace the glass that protected his first framed works on wood. The exhibit includes the results of such experimental processes going back to 2004. None will ever be repeated; the artist says he tends to move on to the next idea as soon as he has mastered one. Schaub also prints each image only once, selecting a sheet of wood or paper — his paper collection runs to the hundreds — based on its unique visual and tactile characteristics. Each work is, as he puts it, a “one of one.” While those choices clearly add monetary value to Schaub’s works, they also create a singular visual experience for viewers. “From Far Away” will reshape every visitor’s idea of photography, again and again. m Contact: lilly@sevendaysvt.com

‘Chagall: Colour and Music’

Now open at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts, this multidisciplinary exhibition features more than 300 works by the Russian-French modernist Marc Chagall. The show specifically emphasizes the tremendous interplay of musical and visual elements in his life and art. It highlights, for example, “the ubiquity of the violin itself, the instrument of the exodus, carried by the Jewish people as they fled or migrated,” and a projection of the Paris Opera ceiling, which the artist completed in 1964. Original artworks are amplified by a wealth of documentary materials, including films, photographs and music, to help recreate “the concept of total art that was so important to the artist.” Through June 11.

movies Paterson ★★★★★

or three decades I’ve been asking why someone can’t make a movie about a writer that portrays the creative process in a remotely credible manner. At long last, I can stop. Someone finally has — the last person I would have expected to try. And not because writer-director Jim Jarmusch isn’t a great artist or doesn’t know his literary stuff — he is and does. (He studied poetry at Columbia University.) Until now, however, his work has been characterized by detachment and dry wit that wouldn’t easily lend themselves to the subject. Paterson isn’t merely unlike any movie the indie legend has made; it’s unlike anything anybody has made. It depicts a week in the life of a Paterson, N.J., bus driver (Adam Driver) whose name is Paterson. If that conjures memories of the hopped-up hipster Driver portrayed in Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young, imagine the actor with a dial under his shirt and Jarmusch turning it way down. Paterson enjoys a regimented existence. He’s a human being who seldom gets beyond second gear. He shares his life with Laura (Golshifteh Farahani), who’s manic by comparison. Both are creative. She bakes black-and-white cupcakes and sews blackand-white curtains. Even the movie she

chooses for their date night is in black and white. He writes poetry, often while driving. As Paterson stares ahead and steers, short, simple lines of verse stream across the screen. We hear them on the soundtrack, haltingly read by Driver as his character composes them. The process is probably way more dangerous than driving while texting, but the result is so exquisite that one is charmed into giving him a pass. Jarmusch recruited Ron Padgett to write poems for the film, a move that pays off brilliantly. Paterson’s favorite poet is William Carlos Williams, who worked as a doctor in Paterson and composed a five-volume epic poem titled — wait for it — Paterson. Like Paterson the literary work, Paterson the movie offers a celebration of the everyday. You won’t come across a more compatible film couple this year. Paterson and Laura inhabit an irony-free world, blissfully devoted to each other. In creating the pair, Jarmusch has written the cinematic equivalent of a love poem. And when I say “everyday,” that’s what I mean. Paterson goes through the same routine — wake up, walk to work, drive his bus, drink a beer at his neighborhood watering hole, go home — every day. The movie

THE NOTEBOOK Driver plays a poet whose journal is doomed and he doesn’t know it.

couldn’t have less drama. Except for a comical barroom incident, there’s zero conflict. Periodically, an observation will evolve into a thought. That thought will pop into Paterson’s head, which will perform the magic trick that is writing. Then he’ll scribble the result in his notebook. That’s as action-packed as it gets. The filmmaker has said he aspires to “approximat[ing] real time for the audience.” He’s never come closer. The finest film of Jarmusch’s career, built around the best work Driver has done to date, Paterson is the opposite of most American movies in virtually every respect. It’s the essence of gentleness, intelligence, simplic-

ity and warmth. If there were an Oscar for Most Zen Vibe, it’d be a lock. If that isn’t reason enough to see it, Paterson is the most convincingly drawn creative character you’re likely to encounter on film. I never doubted for a second that every line taking shape on the screen had been summoned from his subconscious an instant earlier. How difficult an illusion is that to achieve? In more than a century of cinema, Jarmusch is the first filmmaker to achieve it. This film will open in Vermont theaters soon. RI C K KI S O N AK

Rings ★★

ou’re an evil spirit who propagates herself via a creepy short film on a VHS tape. Whoever watches it dies seven days later. Nineteen years after you first burst on the cinematic world in the 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu, your native format is a thing of the past. The only people likely to fall prey to your sevenday curse are hipsters going through boxes of junk at garage sales. Do you (a) accept your obsolescence gracefully, or (b) get yourself digitized and uploaded and start systematically taking out the entire population? Is that even a choice? Not for Samara, the grainy analog ghost child of the American franchise that began with Gore Verbinski’s effectively chilling The Ring in 2002. In this belated sequel to the forgettable The Ring Two (2005), we know she’ll go digital and viral; the only question is when. Unfortunately, in Rings, directed by F. Javier Gutiérrez from a hash of a screenplay credited to three writers, the path to that inevitability is meandering and not very scary. The film starts with a tense teaser set on an airplane, which will prove virtually irrelevant to the plot. Next, it takes its time introducing two of the blandest, most underwritten, most woodenly acted protagonists in recent horror history: high school sweethearts Julia (Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz) and Holt (Alex Roe). They’ve been separated by college, where Holt has fallen in with a gang of students re-

This part of the film cribs a clever idea from the short film “Rings” (created as a bonus feature for The Ring’s 2005 rerelease): The kids game the ghost’s system, escaping death by passing on her curse like a chain email. When the buck stops with Holt, Julia voluntarily takes on the curse in his place. Jet-

tisoning the promising college setup entirely, the story now speeds off to the small town where Samara’s bones supposedly reside. There, in blue-tinged scenes full of imagery straight out of an uninspired demonic-possession flick (buzzing flies, defiled crosses), Julia attempts to appease and exorcise Samara by uncovering yet another chapter of her dull, derivative backstory. Anyone who

has seen The Ring knows exactly where this is heading. Waiting for our heroine to figure out what we already know, we can enjoy scenery chewing from Vincent D’Onofrio (as the town’s resident exposition giver) and epically underwhelming jump scares. One involves a barking dog. At another point, the director is so desperate to goose the audience that he cuts to someone opening an umbrella very loudly. Koji Suzuki, author of the original Ring novel, gave his story a twist that subverts horror conventions. It’s a hard act to follow with more of the same — especially when the march of technology offers far more disturbing possibilities for the Ring concept. The black-and-white, surrealist-inspired imagery of the deadly short film will never stop being creepy, even with the superfluous additions it receives here. And the motif of the cursed clip resonates even more nowadays: How many of us have clicked on a video we later wished we could unsee? By taking a few risks and giving the concept a true update, Gutiérrez and co. might have rebooted the franchise. Instead, they offer a disconnected hodgepodge of familiar scares. The final scene is nicely done, but it comes way too late to compensate for the preceding 100 minutes. Seven days after seeing Rings, you won’t remember a thing about it. MARGO T HARRI S O N

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY FEBRUARY 9—15

AQUARIUS JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

The time is now, Brave Aquarius. Be audacious about improving the big little things in your life. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “big little things.”) For example: Seek out or demand more engaging responsibilities. Bring your penetrating questions to sphinxlike authorities. Go in search of more useful riddles. Redesign the daily rhythm to better meet your unique needs. Refuse “necessary” boredom that’s not truly necessary. Trust what actually works, not what’s merely attractive. Does all that seem too bold and brazen for you to pull off? I assure you that it’s not. You have more clout than you imagine. You also have a growing faith in your own power to make subtle fundamental shifts. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “subtle fundamental shifts.”)

sovereignty with a coronation ceremony. He departed from tradition, however. For many centuries, French kings had been crowned by the Pope. But on this occasion, Napoleon took the imperial crown from Pope Pius VII and placed it on his own head. Historian David J. Markham writes that he “was simply symbolizing that he was becoming emperor based on his own merits and the will of the people, not because of some religious consecration.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you have the right to perform a comparable gesture. Don’t wait for some authority to crown you. Crown yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have you heard

the fable about the four blind men who come upon an elephant for the first time? The first man feels the tail and declares that the thing they’ve encountered must be a rope. The second touches one of the elephant’s legs and says that they are in the presence of a tree. The third strokes the trunk and assumes it’s a snake. Putting his hand on a tusk, the fourth man asserts that it’s a spear. I predict that this fable will NOT apply to you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You won’t focus on just one aspect of the whole and think it’s the whole. Other people in your sphere may get fooled by shortsightedness, but you will see the big picture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Using a blend of warfare and diplomacy, Napoleon extended French control over much of Western Europe. In 1804, he decided to formalize his growing

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Human beings upload 300 hours of videos to YouTube every minute of every day. Among that swirling flow is a hefty amount of footage devoted ex-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I know you haven’t literally been wrestling and wrangling with a sweaty angel. But if I were going to tell a fairy tale about your life lately, I’d be tempted to say this: Your rumble with the sweaty angel is not finished. In fact, the best and holiest part is still to come. But right now you have cosmic permission to take a short break and rest a while. During the lull, ratchet up your determination to learn all you can from your friendly “struggle.” Try to figure out what you’ve been missing about the true nature of the sweaty angel. Vow to become a stronger advocate for yourself and a more rigorous revealer of the wild truth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Even if you’re not an occult wizard or pagan priestess, I suspect you now have the power to conjure benevolent love spells. There’s a caveat, however: They will only work if you cast them on yourself. Flinging them at other people would backfire. But if you do accept that limitation, you’ll be able to invoke a big dose of romantic mojo from both your lower depths and your higher self. Inspiration will be abundantly available as you work to reinvigorate your approach to intimacy and togetherness. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s some advice from Scorpio writer Norman Rush: “The main effort of arranging your life should be to progressively reduce the amount of time required to decently maintain yourself so that you can have all the time you want for reading.” It’s understandable that a language specialist like Rush would make the final word of the previous sentence “reading.” But you

might choose a different word. And I invite you to do just that. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to devotedly carve out more time to do The Most Important Thing in Your Life.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sixteenth-century Italian painter Titian was renowned for his brilliant use of color. He was also prolific, versatile and influential. In 2011, one of his paintings sold for $16.9 million. But one of his contemporaries, the incomparable Michelangelo, said that Titian could have been an even greater artist if he had mastered the art of drawing. It seems that Titian skipped a step in his early development. Is there any way that your path resembles Titian’s, Sagittarius? Did you neglect to cultivate a basic skill that has subtly (or not so subtly) handicapped your growth ever since? If so, the coming weeks and months will be an excellent time to fix the glitch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Our obsessive use of digital devices has diminished our power to focus. According to a study by Microsoft, the average human attention span has shrunk to eight seconds — one second less than that of a typical goldfish. I’m guessing, though, that you Capricorns will buck this trend in the coming weeks. Your ability to concentrate may be exceptional even by preinternet standards. I hope you’ll take advantage of this fortunate anomaly to get a lot of important work and play done. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Love does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person,” wrote the poet Rilke, “for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished and still incoherent?” That’s an excellent meditation for you to entertain during the valentine season, Pisces. You’re in the right frame of mind to think about how you could change and educate yourself so as to get the most out of your intimate alliances. Love “is a high inducement for the individual to ripen,” Rilke said, “to become something, to become a world for the sake of another person.” (Thanks to Stephen Mitchell for much of this translation.)

The answer to that question will depend on how much integrity you express as you wield your clout. Be as charismatic as you dare, yes, but always in service to the greater good rather than to self-aggrandizement. You can accomplish wonders if you are saucy and classy, but you’ll spawn blunders if you’re saucy and bossy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For now, at least, your brain is your primary erogenous zone. I suspect it will be generating some of your sexiest thoughts ever. To be clear, not all of these erupting streams of bliss will directly involve the sweet, snaky mysteries of wrapping your physical body around another’s. Some of the erotic pleasure will come in the form of epiphanies that awaken sleeping parts of your soul. Others might arrive as revelations that chase away months’ worth of confusion. Still others could be creative breakthroughs that liberate you from a form of bondage you’ve wrongly accepted as necessary.

clusively to the amusing behavior of cats. Researchers estimate there are now more than two million clips of feline shenanigans. Despite the stiff competition, I suspect there’s a much better chance than usual that your cat video will go viral if you upload it in the coming weeks. Why? In general, you Leos now have a sixth sense about how to get noticed. You know what you need to do to express yourself confidently and attract attention — not just in regards to your cats, but anything that’s important to you.
