LETTER FROM HOME

Temporary news Ready for lining the birdcage, thank God

‌I

By Peter Friederici

t is the daily pileup, delivered by someone I never see but sometimes hear when I am awake early, a light thump! that is as good an indicator as anything going on in the sky that dawn is about to come. There it is, the daily paper, and I know I will sound like an old fart here when I write that it is how I prefer to get the day’s news even though once in a while the plastic bag is soaked through with spring rains and I have to separate the pages and hang them by the stove, or periodically there has been one of those printing or folding problems and a column of type has an annoying crease running through it that Peter makes a story hard to read.

Friederici ‌But why the primitive wad of newsprint at a time when it’s so easy to pull out a phone or tablet or this same laptop on which I’m writing this and find all the same stories, without getting my fingers dirty, and with the accompaniment of fabulous video clips and galleries of color photos and fancy Google maps that allow me to zoom in and out and find out exactly where a place in the news is and what it looks like from a satellite?

You’d think that someone who has hugged a fair number of trees through the years wouldn’t choose the technology that requires that they be cut down for a highly temporary use.

You’d think that someone who prefers a tidy house would spurn the medium that results in small stacks of newsprint piling up in various rooms because I might want to refer back to that one item in the business news, and there’s a recipe that looks appealing in the midweek food section, and the travel and magazine sections with their meandering stories about wandering on foot through Finland or some cranky guy who spent decades tracking down a buried treasure make the best bathroom reading.

I might say that I like the paper because I dislike the lure of electronics, especially when we’re sitting down to eat, because I have seen in the cafes and cafeterias far too many tables full of aloof friends all consumed in the black holes of their respective screens.

I might say that I like the paper because there simply is no better way to read the morning funnies than to have them spread 4 | flaglive.com |May 19-25, 2016

Fueled up on the latest, and ready to move on. Photo courtesy of the author out on a page the way they always have been since they were invented more than a century ago, as a way to sell newspapers.

I might say that it’s all about the unexpected juxtapositions or eye-catching photos that lead me to stuff I’d never seek out myself, like the story about the unlikely sport of cup-stacking (really, you can Google it).

But all of this would miss the main point, which is that I like newspapers mainly because you can throw the damn things away, or, more appropriately, place them thoughtfully in the recycling bin. It is the finite nature of the newspaper that is its main appeal—at least, that is its lure in this modern era when we have all learned that our screens are an opening to something endless. Every smartphone, every tablet is “Infinity in the palm of your hand,” as the eccentric poet William Blake wrote more

than two centuries ago (today, he’d be a hardcore blogger).

Which is a wonderful, powerful thing, of course. But it reminds me often of how when I worked in the office of a weekly newspaper I grew disturbed at how all our work was so tied to the future: What were the deadlines for next week? Was the copy coming in on time? What should go in the events calendar? And then somehow we’d pull the thing together and each Thursday it hit the stands, fresh for the readers but already a stale thing, an artifact of the past, for those of us who’d worked on it.

There was little of the present in the paper for me, in other words—what we worked on moved almost instantaneously from future to past.

Our electronic media, on the other hand, exist in an eternal now, a ceaseless being that is finally as enervating as it is energizing.

Maybe it is because I’m a journalist that I am so fond of limits, of word counts, of deadlines, and so I’m ultimately appalled by a medium that knows no limits whatsoever.

When I’ve read election returns this spring on Wednesday mornings, I’ve done so mindful that what I’m reading at the breakfast table in black and white is probably already out of date in our 24/7 era. But I don’t care. I want the important news of the world—and of the town—wrapped up, summarized, and then it is with great satisfaction that I can happily put this encapsulated past into the recycling bin, feeling ready to step into the unmediated present.

LETTERS TO DUCEY

World’s most expensive tomato Reaping rewards of education Dear Governor Ducey, It took me a year to convince him but finally Erik decided it was a good idea to build a garden box. We live in Flagstaff where the dirt is made out of rocks and volcanoes and where the deer, if you manage to get a green plant to grow out of your volcano, eat the fruits of that green plant. So Erik is building a garden box with a mesh fence and a door and it’s made out of redwood which, though sustainably harvested, probably cuts into the do-goodNicole ingness of growing your Walker own vegetables. Plus, I’m still remembering the guy on that Podcast I told you about—the one by Scott Carrier about the end of the world and how you need an acre to feed a family of four and, as the food supplies run out, you’ll also need a gun.

This box is only five feet by 10 feet and although I’m not a farmer, I’m pretty sure 50 square feet is not an acre.

Still, the box is very attractive and I have high hopes to plant peas and Swiss chard, tomatoes and carrots.

Maybe some spinach. Potatoes? I don’t know. It’s Flagstaff and therefore cold at night until May and sometimes it snows in July but with

global warming, I think I might be able to pull a tomato out of this imported dirt.

This imported dirt is different dirt than the rock dirt. This dirt we bought from the store. It’s organic and smells like s***, purposefully. It cost $7 for 3 cubic feet of dirt. We need 33 bags of it. The garden box is 2 feet tall (100 cubic feet in the end). We need 33 bags of

dirt for a total of $231. The sustainably grown redwood costs $10 a plank. We bought 24 of them. $240. Four four-byfours at $15 each equal $60. Wire mesh: $28.47. Hinges: I don’t know. Erik’s still at the store buying those. The box costs about $560 which is more than the swing set we bought, which is also made out of sustainably harvested redwood and from which I still have some

“In the cost benefit analysis, putting some money in at the beginning, you reap the benefits for the rest of your days.

If I could make explicit the metaphor then: state-supported tomatoes versus unimproved dirt. You cannot eat dirt. You cannot improve an economy without education.”

stain in my hair to match the new stain in my hair from staining the garden box. We haven’t bought the seeds yet, although at this rate we’ll have to buy starter plants since the season is getting late.

Still, it seems worth it—this planting plan. It wasn’t super cheap but it didn’t cost as much as a car or a house and every year we should get some of our money back by not buying all our vegetables at the store. In the cost benefit analysis, putting some money in at the beginning, you reap the benefits for the rest of your days. If I could make explicit the metaphor then: state-supported tomatoes versus unimproved dirt. You cannot eat dirt. You cannot improve an economy without education.

here will be a single lantern burning bright this weekend (one if by land and all that) when the biennial exhibition of all things land and roving rolls into northern Arizona. The Eighth annual Overland Expo West sees a companion show on the east coast in the fall, but right now the time couldn’t be more ripe to get your fix of those Flag-perfect outdoor toys, tech and teachings from world-class instructors.

The team behind the top trade-show-meets-gathering comprises a group of journalists, explorers, scientists and artists who share a passion for traveling unknown parts of the world by vehicle or motorcycle. Much like participants who come from all over the world to attend Overland Expo, the team members gather from around the globe to make it happen. The company is based out of Tucson, along with its founding members, but the team calls Colorado, California, Scotland, Wales and Panama home, too. And visitors can scope the benefits of this co-op with more than 250 exhibitors, or 170 different classes, workshops and roundtable discussions from experts in the field: authors and videographers based across the globe. Buy the ticket, take the ride at the Mormon Lake Lodge, 1991 Mormon Lake Road, from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Fri; 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Sat and 8 a.m.–3 p.m. Sun. Weekend passes are $55/person or $95/family and day passes (available at the gate only) are $25/person or $45/family on Fri and Sat, and $10/person or $15/ family on Sun. For more info, visit www.overlandexpo.com.

“We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers. And also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.” Hunter S. Thompson hinged his most well-known work, a collection, really, called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, on these very words. They screamed from the annals of good-book history until Johnny Depp so famously growled them on film. So it goes, HST spoke of the film for years—before there was ever a script, even one actor, or a licensing deal. When the ball finally started to roll on the project—mainly after Thompson met a “kindred spirit” in Depp—a pair of directors headed to Owl Creek, the Thompson compound, for grill and chill. But they didn’t eat meat. They hated sports. And their big idea to connect the two separate trips to Vegas that comprise Fear and Loathing were to have Hunter ride in toward the high water mark, “on the crest of a high and beautiful wave,” on an actual wave … in the desert. And in true Thompson fashion, he ran them out on a rail. When Terry Gilliam stepped up, the story received treatment that not only did justice to HST’s words, but sparked a classic now screening at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen, with two shows: the first at 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) and the second 9 p.m. (doors open at 8:30 p.m.) Tickets are $7. Ages 18 and over.

The Tony Award-winning musical, originally directed by Broadway legend Bob Fosse, is probably one most Americans have heard of in one sense or another, but maybe haven’t seen. So let these young stars set the record straight. Together with Circus Bacchus, the cast enlivens this Motown-tinged tale surrounding the eponymous young prince’s search for purpose. Though Pippin and his super-famous dad, Charlemagne, were real-life folks, the story is entirely made up and instead surrounds a traveling troupe that combines elements of burlesque to set the stage for murder, mystery revolution and some pretty incredible feats all across a single act. Join in the antics at Prochnow Auditorium, on NAU’s north campus, both nights at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10–$20. 523-5661. www.ticketing.nau.edu.

» Saturday | 5.21‌ FUNKIFUL SOUL POWER‌

The Austinite band Soul Track Mind has been known to crank up the uptown funk, but even before those words became the title of a mega-hit, the six-member band was at work in the same studio where it was created, developing the pop, rock and R&B sound that infuses their own new single, “Generation Song.” After hearing them compete as finalists for the 2014 Louisiana Music Prize—which they won—Grammy-winning Royal Studios owner/producer Lawrence “Boo” Mitchell, son

of legendary Al Green producer Willie Mitchell, loved them so much, he offered them recording time at the legendary Memphis spot. More tunes are in the works, but this single has been heralded as a showcase for singer/songwriter Donovan Keith’s expressive voice, co-founder Jonathon Zemek’s guitar and their bandmates’ on-point backing amalgamation. Taken together, it signals a direction Soul Track Mind is taking for the long haul.

The song’s tempo and synth sounds may carry roots in disco and new wave, but the vibe is completely current, and it will still inspire fans of the band to tack on those foxy kicks, and dance it out with the band’s evolving and groovetastic experience at the Hotel Monte Vista Cocktail Lounge, 100 N. San Francisco, at 9:30 p.m. Free at the V for those ages 21 and over. 779-6971. www.soultrackmind.com.

The power of the almighty pen—the true essence of the thing can be hard to capture, especially if you’re struck with a bout of writer’s block, or just can’t seem to fit the structured pieces together. In Craft of Writing: Practicing the Elements of Character, Setting, Plot & Voice, students will practice the elements of effective storytelling in two days of workshops among the Flag pines. Sponsored by the Arizona Author’s Association, writers of all skill levels are called to explore these crucial elements on which to hang the crux of the story in both fiction and non-fiction forms. Margaret Erhart, an awardwinning Flagstaff writing instructor and author of five novels, will facilitate the workshops, lending her own talents in full-class and on an individual basis. For those hoping to line up their ducks, this two-day workshop will offer a nifty foothold at the Arboretum at Flagstaff, 4001 S. Woody Mountain Road, Sat from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. and Sun from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. The total cost of the workshop, including lunches and Arb entrance fees, is $150.

» Sunday | 5.22 DON’T FIGHT CITY HALL ON THIS ONE‌

Monsoons seem to have arrived early again, fending off wildfire and signaling summer’s around the bend. And with the burst of sunshine comes one of the most enticing events of the season with the Flagstaff Community Market. This time of year creeps up and suddenly passers-by wonder why hordes of people gather ‘round City Hall—and we even missed last week’s inaugural gathering. So, here it is: Sunday shoppers start your engines, and by engines we mean those Lambor-feeties, with canvas bags strung across your shoulders as aisle upon aisle teeming with every manner of seasonal veggie this great state has to offer floweth over.

At the Community Market, the goal is to uplift smaller regional growers to give shoppers a chance to vote with almighty dollars against corporate, globalized giants who don’t fuss over a zucchini until it is at the absolute peak of freshness before harvesting and carting it all the way to the market either from down the road or across the state. FCM is also like a mega hangout for every friend you haven’t seen in a minute. Ever think, Oh man, what happened to George? Give it a couple minutes on Sunday, grub a breakfast burrito from one of the fantastic food carts, and everybody’s pal George will be there. It’s built. He will come … to City Hall, west of 211 W. Aspen, from 8 a.m.–noon. www.flagstaffmarket.com.

NEWS OF THE

But, Mom!

O

ften I wonder just how much of my life I’ve spent listening to music and how many songs have been pumped into my ears. Could it really be anywhere close to matching sleep hours logged? It might. I do know that it’s a lot. One thing I regularly notice, however, are the genres that, time and time again, I find myself gravitating back to.

More than any other, the one that I find myself most consumed with is hip-hop.

And not the mainstream junk that passes for “hip-hop” nowadays; I’m talking about good, solid, underground hip-hop.

Whether it’s digging back into the metaphorical crates of the genre’s heyday decades back, or navigating any one of the artists out there today staying true to form, Andrew hip-hop is my jam. There’s Wisniewski just something about it that soothes the soul. Its roots. Its social and cultural messages. The beats, rhymes, scratching and other elements. Its beautiful poetic nature. Its undeniable ability to make a head nod. The history of the genre alone is utterly fascinating, and the only one where you can literally spend hours memorizing lyrics, rap them back, feel infinitely talented, and still have none.

Lately, I’ve been on a massive hip-hop kick, which in turn has had me thinking about the foundation of where my love for hip-hop came from: gansta rap. As a ’90s kid, once I got turned onto it, I couldn’t get enough. The only problem was that fun little Parental Advisory label (abbreviated PAL, which it most definitely wasn’t) on every album I wanted to buy.

Because of that warning, my folks, like most at the time, were set on letting it shape my CD collection. No matter how much I lobbied on behalf of the beats, half-truthfully noting that they came first and the lyrics didn’t matter all that much, the answer was always “nope.” But let’s be honest, that didn’t stop me or any of us that wanted the music free of the totally lame, clean Walmart versions.

Until recently, I never gave much thought to those little mercurial judgments other than seeing them as a road block to my listening experience and music development. I’ve had no reason to: I got older; the problem went away. And now, with streaming and music just a click away, they’re out of sight, out of mind—yet still in existence.

Like hip-hop—though obviously nowhere near as cool or influential—it has an interesting history.

WEIRD

Chuck Shepherd In 1985 the now iconic Parental Advisory label allowed parents to breathe a collective sigh of relief while at the same time striking fear in music-loving youth.

The earliest version of the label was introduced that same year by the Recording Industry Association of America when Tipper Gore and Susan Baker’s mid-’80s advocacy group, Parents Music Resource Center, sounded the alarm after hearing “dirty” Prince and Madonna tracks. During the late-’80s the early circular sticker labels, which read something along the lines of “WARNING: Tone of this record unsuitable for minors” didn’t resemble the familiar label at all, and were haphazardly placed on albums. As one might imagine, it received constant pushback from artists like Frank Zappa who, in an open letter published in Cashbox magazine, said it was “based on a hodgepodge of fundamentalist frogwash and illogical conclusions.”

Following a congressional hearing to decide on a uniform label, the black-and-white rectangle label we know today—“PARENTAL ADVISORY: EXPLICIT CONTENT”—made its first appearance during the summer of 1990 on 2 Live Crew’s Banned in the USA. But instead of a sticker, it was implemented as part of the album artwork, which infuriated artists. And with ’80s pop running its course, rap became the new obscenity battleground.

The genre blossomed as a major commercial force, and what Gore, Baker and all those watchful parents out there didn’t count on, was that it would boost record sales because it was considered taboo. For many of the biggest acts connected to the rap world, warning labels, which were on more than 200 albums by 1992, helped propel them to the tops of charts. It also brought rounds of legal headaches to record store owners accused of selling obscene rap albums to minors. But as any kid listening back then knows, the warnings didn’t make it impossible to get our hands on the albums. We did, stashed them, and most of us turned out just fine—and hip-hop fans to boot.

Thirty-one years later the Parental Advisory label is in a strange spot. With the age of streaming consuming human sensory receptors to no end, it’s not quite dead, but it’s also far less practical. Some online platforms have instituted various methods of restricting access to “offensive” music, but the reality is there’s no way to reasonably control what kids are listening to today—or maybe ever.

That iconic warning may not carry the same weight, but one thing is for sure: the beat still does. Lyrics, too.

Medical Milestone

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announced they had recently (a first, they claimed) transmitted high-speed digital data through slabs of pork loin and beef liver. The signal cleared the muscle and gristle so cleanly that it permitted streaming of high-definition video—enough to watch Netflix, said the lead researcher.

Actually, the advance is crucial in that it allows a patient to swallow a transmitter and for physicians to monitor inner workings of the body in real time and externally control implanted devices such as cranial sensors and defibrillators.

Can’t Possibly Be True

Religious leaders associated with the “quiverfull” ministry announced intentions for a November retreat this year in Wichita, Kan., at which parents will meet to plan “arranged” Christian marriages for their prepubescent daughters, to maximize the future couples’ childbearing potential—supposedly the No. 1 priority of all females. Quiverfull activist Vaughn Ohlman has written that female fertility is optimal during their teens (actually, just after age 12) and drops off in their 20s. The local district attorney, queried by The Wichita Eagle, said such marriages are legal as long as all parties consent—but Ohlman has maintained that the Bible does not require the bride’s consent if her father has given his.

Apparently, Japanese taste buds easily become bored, for manufacturers seem eager to create extravagant food combinations to satisfy them that might prove daunting to most Americans. The latest exhibit: the familiar Kit Kat chocolate-coated wafer—but with the taste of ripe melon and cheese (specifically, “Hokkaido Melon with Mascarpone Cheese”). As Japanese foodies know, Kit Kats in Japan come in at least 15 coatings, according to a 2013 review by Kotaku.com, including Edamame Soybean, Purple Sweet Potato, Hot Japanese Chili, Matcha-Green Tea, Wasabi and Red Bean Sandwich.

The Daily Pakistan newspaper, covering the Anti-Terrorism Court in Karachi in April, reported that a judge in Courtroom III asked a constable if he knew how the grenade entered into evidence worked. Rather than assume that an explanation was requested, the constable pulled the pin to demonstrate, and the resulting explosion injured the constable, a court clerk and another police officer. The constable is said to be facing severe discipline as soon as he recovers.

Latest Religious Messages

Great Britain’s prisoners claiming to be adherents of the ancient Celtic pagan religion are allowed, under rules from the National Offender Management Services, to be excused from jailhouse routines to celebrate four festivals, including the Festival of the Lactating Sheep. Although “Skyclad,” or naked worship, is forbidden, prisoners can wear the silver pagan ring (to avoid “distress”) and are permitted their own chalices, crystals, “worry beads,” pentagram necklaces, hoodless robes and flexible twig-wands.

An Israeli man, unidentified in press reports, petitioned the Haifa Magistrate’s Court recently for a restraining order against God, pointing out that the Almighty has exhibited (according to a May Times of Israel report) “a seriously negative attitude toward him,” especially over the previous three years. The judge rejected the petition even though God was not present to argue against it (or at least His presence could not be detected).

In April, police in Brighton, Ontario, responded to what was reported by neighbors as a domestic dispute, involving shrieks like, “I hope you die!”

Kayvon Mavaddat, 28, was arrested in Natick, Mass., as police enforced three arrest warrants.

Checking his cruiser’s computer, he found the warrants, went back inside and arrested Mavaddat.

In April in Oslo district court, Norway’s most notorious terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, prevailed in his complaint against prison treatment and was awarded the equivalent of about $41,000. The prison (part of a system generally regarded as the world’s most inmate-friendly) was found to violate Breivik’s human rights by restricting his outside contacts and excessively restraining and strip-searching him. (He had also complained of poor food choices.)

The Veterans Affairs hospital in Tomah, Wisconsin, among the system’s most troubled (in personnel issues, falsifying reports and overdependence on patient opioid use), is reportedly working on a “100-day plan” for reform and recently posted a job opening—for an interior decorator ($77,000 position, doctoral degree) to, presumably, improve everyone’s attitude.

people’s money) suddenly evaporated start to become clear, the film’s predictability increases in inverse proportion to its plausibility. The inherent instability and unfairness of a massive and fragile financial system are reduced to a single villain, whitewashing the real problems.

The small problems can be just as glaring in a movie as the big ones, and Money Monster doesn’t lack for little issues. From

clichéd dialogue to implausible timing, it would be easy to nit-pick the screenplay to death. But with all that being said, it isn’t all bad. Clooney’s depiction of a showman, and Foster’s of the show-within-themovie, are entertaining. One wonders what kind of picture could have been made had the focus remained just on the show and its cast and crew, without adding the hostage/ conspiracy/villain angles.

Best of Enemies makes the case that these debates, merely a last-ditch attempt on ABC’s part for ratings, paved the way for the now ubiquitous format of news shows today. (Although it’s likely that would have happened anyway.) The film also interviews experts on both writers, but, unfortunately, the sound bites they garner feel too biased to be insightful. Buckley is described by

one biographer as the greatest debater of his time, but neither the biographer nor the film proves that. And that leads to the major problem of this film: it fails to provide enough context of the issues of the day, the election, and the men’s careers. However, it covers a worthy topic and, unfortunately, a timeless one. That alone should earn it a spot on anyone’s Netflix queue.

‌Dan: So I remember that you didn’t especially care for The Revenant (2015), which by the way was nominated for 12 Oscars, and took home three, including Best Actor and Best Director. What didn’t you like … the incredible acting?

The jaw-dropping cinematography?

What’s your problem?

Adrienne: Dan, you bandwagoning strumpet. Do you know what’s more boring than watching someone walk? Watching them do it for two-and-a-half hours in snow, while poorly pretending to be on the edge of death. Let’s be honest: DiCaprio won the I-Guess-It’s-His-Turn Award.

You wanna talk Oscar-worthy films starring Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s Titanic (1997). It’s got romance, suspense, incredible effects, and a true story to boot!

Hmm, let me flip through the hipster handbook of films to … ah, yes: Rushmore (1998). I bet that’s one of your favorites too, isn’t it?

Adrienne, I’d like to see things from your point of view but I can’t seem to get my head that far up my a**.

In fact, I loved Rushmore. Maybe you would have too, if James Cameron had directed it. Instead we got a weird, intelligent, hilarious little movie well ahead of its time. I can see why you didn’t like it.

You want weird, intelligent, and hilarious? Watch Oscar winner The Artist (2011).

A black-and-white tribute to old Hollywood, this French film casts a poignant look at an aging silent film star trying to stay relevant with the emergence of “talkies.”

Anyone who doesn’t like this film surely is a misbegotten spawn of hell.

Gimmick much, Adrienne? Sure, it was almost universally loved by critics, but they’re all wrong, and I’m right. Nobody will remember this film 10 or 15 years after its release.

MUSIC

Vibewaves

The bitter and sweet at the hip-hop citadel Willie Cross ‌■ Beyoncé Lemonade ‌■ Grade: A+ I’ve never really hated anything that Beyoncé has put out. But when I heard about her HBO special film, Lemonade, and the accompanying album, I took the opportunity at last to fully dive in to Bey’s music—partially because it was virtually impossible to avoid the hype over Lemonade.

As soon as the HBO special was released and the album soon thereafter, the Internet collectively imploded. The controversy over the album’s message, the quality of the film, and the album itself proved overwhelming for more than just her usual fans.

Lemonade is a narrative set to music about a deep exploration of heartbreaking infidelity, and whatever comes after.

All of that hurt is dished out in equal parts alongside empowerment, personal introspection, and the all-healing power of love and forgiveness.

But the film and album’s message are built upon 12 tracks of the most polished, platinum-produced songs. It may require a small army to produce a Beyoncé album, but the militia are the best damn soldiers there are. The likes of Diplo, Jack White and James Blake find themselves among the ranks, and they put in their level best for Bey. Tracks like “6 Inch,” featuring the Weeknd in perfect form, and “All Night” seem like songs that were stored in a vault from time immemorial, awaiting Beyoncé’s arrival to perform on them.

The stripped-down acoustic track “Daddy Lessons” is a lesser track, but its anecdotal necessity forgives any peculiarity in the greater context of Lemonade.

And I fully admit that the track “Sandcastles” has made my eyes all weird and watery-like more than once.

Lemonade closes with the sufficiently mind-blowing “Formation,” which is a likely candidate for my favorite track of the year. But the entire album is so generous in its narrative, production and message.

Many have said that Lemonade is feminine empowerment. For me personally, Lemonade is a story about dis12 | flaglive.com |May 19-25, 2016

aster, rugged self-affirmation, growth and love. And that may just be something more along the lines of human empowerment.

■ Drake Views ■ Grade: BThe same day that Drake released the long awaited album Views, Twitter user @desusnice tweeted: “views reversing any personal growth and introspection I gained from lemonade.” I could effectively stop this review there, but I’ve got a bone to pick with Aubrey Graham.

At the outset of Drake’s career, he established that the content of his lyricism was blatant and honest explorations of his past relationships and family affairs. On most of his previous albums this was accomplished alongside dynamic track progressions and consistently robust beats from longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib. But Views finds the kitsch of Drake’s modus operandi running dry to the point of utter exhaustion.

On the album’s third track “U With Me?” he effectively spills the beans about his methodology, admitting that, “I made a career of reminiscin’.” While that’s a nice insight and all, it only draws up the imagery of Drake in the studio looking through his text messages and cherry-picking from his relationship history for lyrical content.

If Drake’s preferred expression is to put everything about his life on blatant display, I feel comfortable saying

that he exposes the absolute worst of himself on Views. Tracks like “Child’s Play” tempted me to hit the skip button within the first few lines of verse.

Themes like those on “Child’s Play” may be intriguing or entertaining for some, but with the dosage that Drake offers over Views 82-minute length, the album feels more like an overdose than a refined vignette of the rapper’s life.

But beyond that and whatever greater objective Drake has on Views, the effort winds up sounding like an album that just goes through the motions. And lazily at that. Whether it’s the “OVO sound” that he proffers or just a general malaise, the album contains only a few of the beats and progressions that previously made Drake’s efforts stand out.

It is overall, for me, a lower key effort that has hardly anything memorable about it. Usually I listen to Drake’s albums for months on end after they’re released. But in this case, Views only really beckons a passing glance.

■ Aesop Rock The Impossible Kid ■ Grade: AIt would be easy to try and contrast what Drake does with what longtime underground hip-hop legend Aesop Rock does, but that gets dangerously close to dogma about what “real” hiphop is. You would be hard-pressed to put The Impossible Kid next to Views and not draw some immediate contrasts.

But it’s just two examples of different ways of the artists expressing themselves musically. For Aesop Rock, that means producing all of the beats himself, and filling nearly every measure over The Impossible Kid‘s 48-minute length with shrink wrap-tight rapping.

His lyrics run the gamut of subjects, from his entry into psychotherapy to his cat, Kirby.

While it took four years after 2012’s Skelethon to get The Impossible Kid out, Aesop used that time wisely. Every beat on the 15-tracks is a blend of classic hip-hop and synthesizer-infused electronic leads. Despite the quality of every beat, they all follow a very similar pattern that drawls on in the album’s latter half.

If the beats do get repetitive, it’s because Aesop’s greatest strength on The Impossible Kid is his lyrical subject matter. He is a vivid illustrator of the most mundane daily occurrences, as on “Lotta Years,” in which a couple of totally plaintive events in question make him question his age. But he always does it with the treatment that a classic author would their most delicate subject.

Aesop Rock may be a dense rapper, but he acknowledges this on the track “Shrunk,” then carries on his mind-bending verses without pausing to reconsider his method. That type of artistry is the principled expression that can be a remedy to the mainstream music that doesn’t always cut it.

Food Forward

New restaurant Shift signals next phase in Flagstaff dining Story by Willie Cross | Photos by Hannah Rose Gray

F

lagstaff is changing.

I arrived here eight years ago, and I still

find myself a bit taken aback by the ways this town has transformed since then. But with the question of change comes another question: How does this town go about its changing? I believe that many members of this community could stand behind at least one idea: Flagstaff is a unique place, and its distinctiveness should be preserved going forward.

When Joe and Dara Rodger opened the doors of their new restaurant, Shift Kitchen & Bar, the oncoming change in Flagstaff started to become all the more clear. Not in a way that has anything to do with plastic bags or student housing, but with the nature of restaurants that line our streets.

The recent additions to Flagstaff’s restaurant scene are mostly of the kitschy wood-paneled walls and big screen TV variety. But stepping into Shift immediately evokes an air of particularity. The restaurant’s chalk-white walls bounce natural light from the street side windows throughout the space.

Flashes of blue and silver décor contrast the bright walls and instill the interior with a sense of comfort and tasteful whimsy.

Over cans of Coors Banquet and within the comfortable trappings of Shift, the husband and wife duo recently shared with me everything about their history and the future of their restaurant.

Dara expressed their initial concern with opening a restaurant in Flagstaff and the eventual decision to take the jump: “The food scene here was not like anywhere else we had worked before, but we knew we could try and change the food scene to something great.”

Most of Dara’s experience previous to Shift was within the Colorado dining scene, which has seen rapid growth over the last 10 years. While the momentum in the Rocky Mountain state is well sustained by now, it’s only just getting started in northern Arizona.

“The flame in Flagstaff has been slowly growing and now it’s starting to get really big,” Joe says.

Joe, who grew up in Sedona, worked in a handful of Flagstaff restaurants before bouncing back and forth between California and Arizona.

Eventually he ended up in Boulder, Colo., at Frasca Food and Wine. Dara had been at Frasca for a few years by the time Joe arrived, and she was excelling as the restaurant’s pastry chef.

Eventually the couple moved to Vail together before getting an invite from Scott Heinonen to work in Flagstaff at Tinderbox Kitchen and Tourist Home. Soon thereafter they seized the opportunity to take over the space where Flag Buzz Coffeehouse used to be—and before that Late for the Train—on San Francisco Street between Aspen and Birch Avenues. They set out renovating the space, and in April of this year opened the doors at Shift.

May 19-25, 2016 | flaglive.com | 15

Focused upon entry Beyond the unique trappings, the restaurant’s anterior dining room is dominated by a chef’s counter, which is the first of its kind in Flagstaff. The chef’s counter takes the concept of an “open kitchen” to a whole new level.

Instead of just allowing diners to peek into the kitchen, the chef’s counter allows diners to sit front and center as Shift’s chefs and cooks bring their dishes to life.

The decision to include a chef’s counter is evidence of Joe and Dara’s greater goal with their restaurant.

Instead of being disconnected from their patrons, the chef’s counter allows those making the food to connect with those eating it. For Joe that means witnessing the patron’s experience firsthand and giving them an opportunity to provide minute-by-minute feedback.

“I would have [the experience] be something where you figure it on your own,” he says, “Feel what you feel, and then we’ll figure it out from there.”

16 | flaglive.com |May 19-25, 2016

Shift is not just about connecting with patrons, but challenging them as well. The restaurant’s menu is another first of its kind in Flagstaff.

At the top are smaller dishes that function as starters. The dishes get larger in size as the menu progresses further down the page, giving the guests the liberty to progress through their meal as they see fit.

The menu items are on constant rotation, an approach that transcends the seasonal menu concept. This f lexibility allows Joe, Dara and their crew to have creative freedom and a variability that will continually evolve the restaurant.

“I want it to grow and develop … it’ll be something different in six months than it is now,” Joe says.

The forward-thinking menu not only gives Shift trajectory, it also gives the restaurant a sense of immediacy. W hile Joe and Dara plan on keeping popular dishes on the menu as long as possible, some

dishes may be available for short periods of time based on ingredient availability and their crew’s preference.

They both admit that while this may not cater to the classical dining convention, Shift is all about taking risks and doing things their own way.

“If we’re not super passionate about something on the menu, then we’ll take it off,” Dara says. “There’s always room for a better dish or better execution of something.”

With the trend of farm-totable dining continuing to grow in popularity in Flagstaff, Joe is taking a practical approach to a concept that simply may not work up here.

Not that it would be impossible, but Joe and Dara are w illing to find a way to be more up front about the lim ited access to ingredients in northern A rizona. Joe simply states: “I want to cook honest food and make it taste good.”

Plating the abstract I’ve had the chance to dine at Shift twice since the doors opened, and everything that Joe and Dara advocate for can be found in the dishes they deliver.

The presentation nods to their history in fine dining, but the playfulness brings each dish to life in vivid detail. It is as if the white walls are the canvas and Joe, Dara and their crew are painting from an eclectic palette.

But their dishes are less like a Rembrandt and more like a Pollock. Dara’s dessert dish of white chocolate ganache, coconut, lime and poppyseed is a lively splash of geometric shapes and vibrant colors that underlines Shift’s approach of equal emphasis on flavor and presentation.

The main course dishes are no exception to this. The spring vegetable with fazzoletti pasta almost leaps off the plate, melding hues of green, bright orange and ivory. The dish features house-fermented vegetables that strike the perfect level of umami and balanced textures.

The drink menu is just as focused on flavor and balance as the rest of the menu.

Shift’s general manager Connor Barrett and the rest of the crew conceptualized drink offerings that would complement whatever the kitchen was churning out. The Fernet Flip, which features the largely misunderstood Fernet Branca herbal bitter liqueur, is a drink with enough depth and flavor to pair with anything on Shift’s menu, including the dessert options.

Soon after Shift opened they began offering brunch on Sundays. The menu is a welcome addition to this town’s burgeoning brunch scene. With dishes like butterscotch bread pudding and a pork belly sandwich, Sundays at Shift are quickly adding an exciting note to Flagstaff’s brunch options.

But Shift is a place where the food and drink speaks for itself. For all I know, all of the dishes I mentioned won’t be there by the time I make it back for another meal. But that makes me all the more anxious to get back and try whatever they’ve come up with.

“It sounds cheesy, but we’re so passionate and when we have a feeling for something and we’re really lined up in those feelings, then we totally go for it,” Dara says.

That sort of zeal and ingenuity is exactly what our dining scene needs to maintain the progression that we’ve witnessed over the past few years.

Luckily, Joe and Dara Rodger and the rest of their crew are passionate about bringing something new and genuine to this town. I’ve avoided being cliché as much as I could until now, but I can’t help myself: I couldn’t be more excited about the shift that Shift is bringing to Flagstaff.

Shift Kitchen & Bar is located at 107 N. San Francisco, Ste. #2. Hours are Wed–Sat, 5–10 p.m.; Sun 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; Mon 6–9 p.m. and closed Tue. To learn more, call 440-5135 or visit Shift on Facebook.

Radical cinema Klee Benally’s Power Lines howls in testament to a people Diandra Markgraf licing the desert expanse of northern Arizona, towers stretch their steel-reinforced arms into the pastel sky. Their veins pour electricity from the Reservation to faceless destinations. For activist, musician and documentarian Klee Benally, these power lines belie the complex relationship between an entire society and the environment. ‌At the crux of media activism, punk rock principles, poetry and community lies Power Lines, Benally’s first independent feature film, presented in conjunction with Indigenous Action Media, Outta Your Backpack Media and Executive Producer Princess Benally and dozens of volunteers.

After eight years from conception to final formatting, the project will see its Flagstaff premiere at the Orpheum Theater on Saturday night.

‌S

Buzzing wires Benally’s narrative examines metaphoric and physical power lines, and their relationship with his ancestral home in the Big Mountain area, also called Black Mesa—the site of coal strip mining that has fueled a half century-long battle between the Hopi and Diné people and one of the world’s largest coal mining companies, Peabody Energy. Though bankrupt, Peabody was handed an $800 million bankruptcy financing package this week, ensuring operations continue as usual.

Beginning in 1974 with Congress’ passage of Public Law 93-531, the “Relocation Act,” that established the fenced partition between Navajo and Hopi lands, tens of thousands have become what Benally calls relocation refugees because of Big Coal— and so has he.

Nezbahe Ragdoll also shares traits with her lead character. She portrays 16-yearold Halee, a product of forced relocation and a poet in search or her own identity.

After running away from her abusive father (Tony Skrelunas), Halee’s friend Selma, played by Kayla Dailey, helps the pair wind through secrets—away from the glaring neon of Las Vegas, through Flagstaff and Winslow, Gray Mountain and Cameron, back to the place it all began: home.

Conceptualizing the film, Benally thought of the power lines threading Nav18 | flaglive.com | May 19-25, 2016

“This energy is coming from the coal that’s being taken from the land our relatives are being forcibly removed from—or are threatened to be removed from. It’s being burnt; it’s poisoning our communities,” Benally says. “That energy is being transmitted hundreds of miles away to benefit communities or cities that don’t have that connection; don’t even consider what is happening.”

The complexity of the “so-called land dispute” wormed inside the Black Mesa home where he grew up, where the partition bisected the family’s sheep corral.

“Half were Hopi and maybe half Navajo,” he says with a slight smile.

He continues, “That action also cut us from our ancestral springs and sheep camp, and my mom and dad organized and were able to get that fence line moved about 50 feet away, but it had that impact.”

Power Lines examines societal implications as well. Like the sheep were divided, so too were the people as Hopis living on the Diné side were forced to cross, and Dinés to the other.

“It’s hard not to see those impacts,” Benally adds. “As a political relocation refugee, I wanted to tell a story that spoke to the yearning to return home.”

dia, a project of Indigenous Action Media that empowers Indigenous youth through resources like free movie making workshops. Participants aided all facets of the Power Lines process.

“For me, I think my work and my attraction to media action and media justice is also a healing process,” he says. “So applying the same principle of getting to the root causes or having the voices of the most impacted speak is a critical component of that.”

Calling on his culture that does not treat simply symptoms, Benally charged the lead character with the gift of poetry.

Even the score is handmade in collaboration with Benally and friends like Sage Bond, a Diné singer and guitarist who will also play live at the screening. In many ways Benally says he’s as excited for people to listen as he is for them to see.

But the ending, he says, is not one to leave viewers feeling like they were given a perfectly packaged conclusion.

Still there is an offering of hope. After all, the systemic issues illustrated in Power Lines are not personal problems, they are community problems, Benally says.

“I think if we really want to use that word ‘community’ we have to be responsible to what that actually means—and try and fix things. Maybe through the power of them telling their own story they recognize that much more what kind of power they actually have,” he says of young storytellers. “I like looking at power possibilities and transformative opportunities, and that’s maybe a little bit of what this film can do.”

Rowie Shebala, an accomplished Diné slam champion, and Lyla June Johnston contributed their words that strike the root of Halee’s anger through politically charged expressions, and lend testament to her experiences as a young Diné woman.

Over eight years, these tributaries to the source came together, even when the script itself was put on hold for some time.

Between 2011 and 2012, Benally was at the heart of the Save the Peaks movement; protesting reclaimed water usage at Snowbowl.

That arrest, he says, led him to identify with his character’s voice and Halee’s own reaction to tragedy, and finish the script.

“What kind of energy does it take to go through something that is so tragic, and feel like you don’t have as much agency to determine the outcome?” he recalls. “But you’re trying to do the best you can while things spin out of control and apply yourself in the best way.”

Texas Hold’em How Uber goobered and Lyft slipped down

P

outy, whiney, spoiled-bratism is not nice coming from a 4-yearold—but it’s grotesque when it comes from billion-dollar corporate elites like Uber and Lyft.

The two for-hire car companies call their service “ridesharing,” but these Internet-based brats are takers, not sharers, and the bulk of the fares they charge end up in the pockets of their hedge-fund owners. Still, they insist that they are new-econJim omy, tech-driven geniuses Hightower that are above the fusty old local laws that other transportation companies follow. So Uber and Lyft have made it a corporate policy to throw hissy fits when cities— from Los Angeles to Atlanta, Houston to Portland—have dared even to propose that they obey rules to protect customers and drivers.

The latest tantrum from the California giants came in Austin, Texas, when the city council adopted a few modest, perfectly-reasonable rules. The petulant duo then used high-pressure tactics to force a special election to overturn the council’s action. Being brats, they assumed that locals would flock to do whatever the popular service wanted.

t i m e, Summ er a wit h chaser!

But they picked the wrong city. First, they ran a campaign of blatant lies, as though Austenites wouldn’t question them. Then they shoved a sickening level of corporate cash into their campaign, apparently thinking that the sheer tonnage of mendacious ads would win the day for them. However, the slicks from California turned out to be über-goobers. Despite spending $9 million (more than the combined spending of all city council candidates in the past decade), they went down, 56-to-44 percent.

So Uber and Lyft have now left town in a huff—but who needs them? A new Texas-based upstart called GetMe has already moved in to fill the void with community spirit rather than pouty corporate arrogance, saying that it is happy to comply with sensible rules that the people want.
