EDITOR’S NOTE IN ONE EAR...

Podcasts are still considered a rather recent phenomenon— the earliest ones only date back to 2003. But on any given day, tens of millions of Americans are listening to episodes of their favorite podcasts. Here in Idaho, those include Wanna Know Idaho and You Know the Place, both produced by Boise State Public Radio, and each in the throes of a second season.

This week, I visit with Frankie Barnhill, the reporter/producer behind (and occasionally in front of ) the microphone for Wanna Know Idaho and BW’s Lex Nelson chats with Lacey “LD” Daley and Joel Wayne, hosts of You Know the Place.

Check out our respective profiles on pages 6 and 7.

On a completely different note, receiving an email from Amelia Earhart is surreal. The fact that she actually signs off her emails by typing, “Blue Skies, Amelia,” is nearly mindblowing. On page 8, I talk to Earhart (yes, that’s her real name) about her round-the-world trip in a single-engine airplane (much like her namesake). Just prior to her Thursday, Oct. 18, trip to Boise, Earhart also shares the fascinating story of having her roots explored by two different genealogists, which led to a bit of personal, on-ground turbulence.

On page 9, I have a very different conversation with Hendrik Schuwer, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United States. We talk about the Dutch/U.S. relationship (dating back to the first American colonies) and why the Netherlands is investing millions of dollars into an Idahobased business.

BW’s music guru Ben Schultz appears on page 10 to preview what he calls the “category-defying music” of Bells Atlas, just prior to the band’s Tuesday, Oct. 16, appearance at Neurolux in Boise.

And on page 19, BW contributing writer Henry Coffey reports on the upcoming Idaho Horror Film Festival, now in its fifth year and featuring a little something for everyone, including a block of Idaho-based films dubbed (wait for it) “Spud and Guts.”

FOR THE LOVE OF POD GEORGE PRENTICE

MEGAN THIMMESC H

Left to right: Joel Wayne and Lacey “LD” Daley of You Know the Place, and Frankie Barnhill of Wanna Know Idaho.

YOU KNOW THE PLACE When they committed to hosting and producing their Boise State Public Radio podcast You Know the Place, Joel Wayne and Lacey “LD” Daley also committed to spending chunks of their nights and weekends being just a little bit uncomfortable. That’s because recording You Know the Place requires them to walk into random, out-of-the-way shops, clubs, restaurants and stores across Boise and ask the unsuspecting people who run them two basic questions: “Who are you?” and “How do you stay in business?”

“We’ve got about half of season two produced, and I still say as we’re sitting in the car, ‘I’m so frickin’ nervous.’ And then we go in and it’s like, ‘Who’s going to say hi first?’” Daley said. “And I think that’s probably good. I feel safe with Joel, but we’ve learned the importance of establishing a rapport with those people within the first five minutes of talking with them. Because we’re walking in, most of the times unannounced, with the shotgun mic—” “Which looks a little bit like a gun, honestly,” Wayne added.

6 | OCTOBER 10–16, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

“—So people are kind of on edge,” Daley continued. “You get that sense right away.”

You can almost think of listening to You Know the Place as dipping into a series of fascinating and occasionally awkward cold calls, all being made to places that most Boiseans drive by and wonder about without ever stepping inside. In season one of the podcast, Wayne and Daley visited spots as diverse as Boise’s Rockin’ Reptile, Boise Acro Yoga, JUMP, the Sunset Club, Boise Stage Shop, The Beardsmith, Stewart’s Gem Shop, India Fashion & Grocery, Stillwater Float Center and Parrots ‘N’ Stuff.

“You drive by all these places every day and 99 percent of them you’ve never gone into, you just haven’t,” explained Wayne, who first pitched the idea for the podcast to Daley during one of many brainstorming sessions. “And so you inevitably think—because we all think the world revolves around us—you think, ‘Well, who is going into those places?’”

Answering that question continues to motivate the duo, and on Sept. 27 it 7 drove them into a second season of You

WANNA KNOW IDAHO The still-recent history of podcasting dates back to 2003, but it was Serial, the Peabody Award-winning series first produced by This American Life, that set the standard. To date, Serial episodes have been downloaded nearly 200 million times.

“Serial really is the definitive demarcation in the podcast landscape,” said Frankie Barnhill, community engagement manager and award-winning reporter for Boise State Public Radio. “Like a lot of people, I vividly recall listening to that first season of Serial episodes in 2014.”

Barnhill’s personal admiration for Serial intersected with her professional life when, during Serial’s second season (2015-2016), she produced Speaking of Serial, a BSPR podcast about the podcast. The 10-episode arc took a deep dive into Serial’s latest subject: Idaho-native and Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was then facing a military court martial.

Over the past three years, a few BSPR podcasts have followed, including You Know the Place (see Lex Nelson’s story in the opposite column). But one of the station’s most popular

series is Wanna Know Idaho, which recently launched its second season.

“I’m lucky to be the one hosting the second season. The first season was basically unhosted, but this past summer, I approached our General Manager Tom Michael and said, “I’d like to take Wanna Know Idaho and push it even further than we went last year,’” said Barnhill. “It wasn’t necessarily that I wanted to be the host, but I think that my job as community engagement manager naturally has me wanting to involve the community as much as possible.”

Indeed, that is Wanna Know Idaho’s unique MO: It bills itself as a “people-powered podcast.” Simply put, it’s based on the public’s curiosity. For example, in its first season, listeners asked, “What would it take for train travel to return to Southern Idaho?” “What’s up with the Abe Lincoln statues in Downtown Boise?”

“How do the bands for Treefort get picked?” and “How did Idaho get that name?”

And Wanna Know Idaho answered.

7 Wanna Know Idaho’s second season began in late August, when listener BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Mary Reiman asked, “What’s in the fire retardant that’s dropped on Idaho’s wildfires?” The question couldn’t have been more timely, what with Idaho still in the throes of wildfire season.

“She was pretty excited because I took her into the offices of the National Interagency Fire Center,” said Barnhill.

“Now, as a reporter, I can enter NIFC, but members of the public don’t always have that privilege. It was also pretty great to see the excitement on her face as she got to ask all the questions. It took me back to the days of being a cub reporter and being so excited.”

The NIFC visit resulted in a fascinating season premiere episode, which ran about nine and a half minutes.

“Of course, you can subscribe to the podcast, but we also feature the episodes on Morning Edition and Idaho Matters,” said Barnhill, pointing two of BSPR’s flagship broadcasts.

Up next came a question from listener John Lawson: “Why are gas prices so expensive in Idaho?” It’s a query that has been echoed throughout the Gem State for decades, particularly recently, as prices at some Idaho stations are 30 to 40 cents higher than in neighboring Wyoming.

Lawson drove his 2016 Chevy diesel truck to a Kuna gas station, where he met Barnhill.

“Sometimes I wonder, ‘Gosh, I wonder what people think when I walk up to them with all of my recording gear,’” said Barnhill.

“John was great, because he actually did quite a bit of research for the episode.”

That particular Wanna Know Idaho podcast episode dropped online Oct. 3. Without revealing any spoilers here, the episode is a fascinating explainer of how taxes, geopolitics and even weather events impact Idaho’s prices at the pump.

As far as what’s next, Barnhill said she’s soliciting questions from listeners in central Idaho, possibly from the McCall area.

“We’d love to hit the road and take another listener on a trip where their questions get some direct answers,” said Barnhill. “Who knows what it will be? But if our previous visits with listeners are any indication, it’s got to be good.”

Know the Place. Only two episodes have run so far, but Wayne and Lacey offered Boise Weekly a sneak peek at some soon-to-befeatured locales—including a crematorium, a nude resort called Bare Mountain Retreat that’s just a half-hour drive from Boise, and the “stink room” inside Rocky Mountain Fireworks & Fur. Both hosts agreed that their time recording at Bare Mountain was the most memorable of any foray so far.

“We’re expecting that to be a popular episode, and honestly it was a really great experience, and really unexpected for us,” said Daley. “We didn’t intend to participate, we didn’t think we would— we did. We spent the whole frickin’ day there.” (Later, they sent BW a tasteful, in-the-buff photo to prove it.)

Wayne said he and Daley usually budget between an hour and an hour and a half of recording time for each episode, but they ended up staying at Bare Mountain for seven hours, and even eating dinner with the guests.

Another episode, the one featuring the “stink room,” stood out in a different way. Sandwiched into the end of a shipping container and packed with bottles of scents like cheese oil and musk, the tiny space was almost intolerably smelly.

“I could last about eight seconds in there before I had to get out the bowl [to vomit],” Wayne said.

Still, he said, he and Daley make a point to always say ‘yes’ to those kinds of experiences. For Daley, it’s in pursuit of painting a candid, no-frills portrait of the real Boise.

“It’s not this best-of list. It’s not the Travel Channel, or the Food Network,” she said. “...It’s kind of a snapshot of right now, and what Idaho is like.”

AMELIA E ARHART

CITIZEN AMELIA ROSE EARHART

Yes, that’s her name, and yes, she’s a world-class pilot GEORGE PRENTICE

It’s not every day that you receive an email from Amelia Earhart, let alone speak with her.

“Yeah, people usually respond to my emails, writing: ‘Wait, is this real?’” said Earhart.

Right up front, you should know that yes, Earhart is an accomplished pilot. In fact, she has made a 28,000-mile flight around the world in a single-engine aircraft. Plus, she oversees the Fly with Amelia Foundation, which grants scholarships to young women to help fund flight training.

In advance of her visit to Idaho on Thursday, Oct. 18, when she’ll be the featured guest of the Boise Metro Chamber’s 135th annual gala, Earhart spoke with Boise Weekly about legacies: the one of the historic woman who shares her name, and her own.

We have to begin by talking about your name.

My parents had always been told that, somehow, we were distantly related to Amelia. My mom told my dad, “We’ve got a great opportunity here to name our daughter after somebody incredibly inspirational, somebody who was a real game-changer.” My dad immediately said, “Whoa, I don’t know about that. This could be troublesome. What if our daughter feels like she has to learn to fly?”

Needless to say, my mom won out. And it’s funny, because all those things my dad said were absolutely true. From a very young age, every adult I met would say, “Oh, you’re little five-yearold Amelia. You better be a pilot someday. You’ve got big shoes to fill.”

And what was it like for you as a young schoolgirl?

I had a second-grade teacher who somehow managed to spend a lot of time, a full week, studying Amelia, and she never embarrassed me in front of the class. That was the first time I can remember feeling that there’s something really special about this.

At what point did you first consider flight lessons?

I was in college. By then, everyone was asking, “Are you a pilot yet?” When I told them “No,” 8 | OCTOBER 10–16, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

It was 2013, just before my trip around the world. But that genealogical search found that I wasn’t related to the first Amelia Earhart. It was the first point in my life when I really experienced true turbulence. I was a television personality in Denver and social media was pretty new, and when people found out, they sent messages that read, “How dare you.” “You lied to us.” “I hope you crash into the ocean and die, just like the first Amelia.” “Get out. You’re a fraud.” It was incredibly painful. I wished that my family had never placed this burden on me. But over time, I became glad that I wasn’t related. It would have been an easy story, right?

Amelia Earhart’s distant “I STOPPED CHASING AMELIA’ S relative flies around the world. Sure. But, Amelia PATH. I FELT LIKE SAYING, ‘C OME Earhart who thought she was related, finds ON AMELIA . WE’RE out that she’s not? And she still flies around the TA KING YOU BACK HOME. world? The big takeaway LE T’S FINISH THE FLIGHT is that I may not be related, but I learned YOU STARTED 77 YE ARS AGO.’” how to relate to her, to the type of life she led, the passions that she had for aviation, for fashion, I understand that soon after, you began your for social work. That’s the type of woman I’m trying to be now. first genealogical search.

I was born in 1984, so you couldn’t hop Let’s talk a bit about that around-the-world online and do a genealogical search. I found a flight. What was the best part of that and what woman and gave her birth certificates, death records, military records, anything we could find. was the most challenging?

The most joyful moments were watching the She came back to me and said, “Amelia, I can tell sun come up over the eastern horizon while flying that you’re definitely related to the first Amelia over the ocean; there was a heightened sense of Earhart. You share common ancestry through awareness around the undertaking. You’re flying a Pennsylvania, dating back to the 1700s.” I was plane with one engine and if that fails and you’re so proud. I went back to my parents and said, over the ocean, you’re going to have to use all “Look, you’re right.” your skills to ditch the plane in the water and then survive until somebody hopefully rescues But it’s important to note that the genealoyou. The colors were brighter, the sounds more gist also cautioned you… vibrant. Those images and feeling are so burned …to pinpoint the exact lineage, going into onto my heart.

There are best times to travel—late June or up with another genealogist.

I was always faced with a disappointed look. I got sick of it. I realized that I had to take a flight lesson, even though I had no idea if I would be scared or get motion sickness. I had no clue. The first lesson began terribly. I was with an instructor who didn’t care much [for] having a woman in the cockpit with him. But when we took off, it was like he wasn’t there. I forgot about the petty issues. I realized that when I was in flight, I was responsible for my own life and anyone else that was in the aircraft. It was a joyful experience.

early July—when you fly around the equator. I had studied the past 100 years of climate data, and of course temperatures are rather high near the equator and you’ve got a lot of conduction over the ocean, so storms can pop up very rapidly.

I traveled through some massive 60,000-foothigh cumulus thunderstorms between Singapore and Australia. It’s an incredibly intimidating part of the world when you’re flying a small aircraft.

Even worse, you can get to a point of no return when you can no longer continue flying without gliding back without an engine. For me that was about 70 miles offshore, and we were past 70 miles and there was a lot of turbulence.

I also experienced metaphoric turbulence in Papua, New Guinea, where they don’t see a lot of female pilots. When I landed, they claimed that I landed at the wrong airport, but that wasn’t true.

We were basically held inside the plane by armed guards. I’ve never been more scared in my life.

Here I was, a young woman, being looked at with absolutely zero respect. It took four hours to get through it. It was all resolved with money.

Can I assume that you run into sexism at a number of airports, including the U.S.?

Absolutely. I’ll be walking out to the plane and one of the airport officials will come up and ask me if I’m lost or if I’m looking for my husband. I answer, “I need fuel. I’m going to fly this thing.”

I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you to reflect on the part of your flight as you flew over Howland Island, where the first Amelia Earhart had intended to land.

Yes. In fact, that’s exactly where I sent out Twitter messages, via a GPS device, to 10 young women, saying that they would be the recipients of $7,500 scholarships for flight training. At that point in the journey, I stopped chasing Amelia’s path. I felt like saying, “Come on Amelia. We’re taking you back home. Let’s finish the flight you started 77 years ago.”

Speaking of human rights, you must know that Boise takes great pride in its Anne Frank Memorial, which includes a sapling from the actual Anne Frank chestnut tree in Amsterdam.

NOISE WORLDS OF SOUND

Esme Patterson has been hearing catches in the voices of people she meets while on tour.

Bells Atlas explores new musical frontiers BEN SCHULTZ

ESME PATTERSON TALKS ABOUT SMALL SONGS WITH BIG HEARTS She would rather talk about the weather.

In fact, while on the road, Denver, Coloradobased singer-songwriter Esme Patterson often does.

“I find it strange that people find [talking about the weather] boring, like it’s a cliche.

Weather affects everyone at the same time, the mathematics of it are really cool—the weather systems are fractals. It’s interesting and powerful,” she said.

Across three solo albums and several more with her former band, Paper Bird, Patterson has written and performed songs about mundane things that reveal personal truths, but in the last few years, she has noticed tension in the voices of the people she meets on tour. On her most recent album, We Were Wild (XTra Mile Recordings, 2016), that tension bled into her lyrics. In “Feel Right,” she sings, “No one wants to feel nothing that don’t feel right.”

“That was something I wrote after reading about police brutality,” Patterson said.

She and her sister, Genevieve, got their start playing rhythm and blues together, but later formed the indie-folk band Paper Bird with some friends in Denver in 2006. The band became the darling of its scene, receiving critical and popular acclaim. It toured widely, playing in Boise several times since 2008, including at Treefort Music Fest, but Esme embarked on a solo career in 2014 when it was clear she couldn’t be in the band and tour independently at the same time.

Four years later, Esme is working on a new album set for release in 2019. For this album, she’ll lay down her guitar and use a more diverse palette of sounds to cut higher-energy tracks than much of her previous work.

“I was, like, ‘[Expletive], I want to make dancing music!’” she said.

Esme will play at The Olympic on Thursday, Oct. 11. She said her backing band of fellow Denverites breathes new life into her songs in a distinctly Esme Pattersonian way.

“I’ve seen a lot of bands tour where the show sounds just like the record, and I just wish that they would kind of do a reinterpretation,” Esme said. “I really love the reinterpretation of the music that is only possible to see and make live.”

—Harrison Berry 10 | OCTOBER 10–16, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

Bells Atlas is, in bassist Doug Stuart’s words, a “very democratic band.” Each of its members—Stuart, lead singer Sandra LawsonNdu, guitarist Derek Barber, drummer Geneva Harrison and keyboardist Steve Blum— take an active role in creating songs. Stuart feels that this helps keep their music fresh.

“It’s always happened naturally for us,” he told Boise Weekly, “because the process is never really limited to one person or even two people. And I think because of that, and because we’re all pretty diplomatic, we end up surprising ourselves.”

The Oakland, California-based band’s latest release, Salt and Soap (Tender Loving Empire, 2018), is a good case in point. The foundation for the EP’s four tracks came from recordings on Harrison’s phone.

“There was a period of time where Geneva traveled to New York for a few months to do a gig,” Stuart explained. “We hadn’t been writing too much prior to that—we’d just come out of a cycle of playing a lot of live shows.

Anyway, before she left, she was like, ‘Here’s this folder of a bunch of beats that I just played in my practice space. If you guys feel uninspired, you should check ’em out.’”

Harrison’s bandmates found inspiration in more than her angular, funky drum beats.

“The phone recording itself was kind of inspiring,” Stuart said, “because it gave us this grainy, distorted, interesting sound on top of her unique playing. … Sandra and I started a handful of [songs] from there. And then when [Harrison] got back from her gig, she got in on the process and Derek was roped in throughout. It was a new process for us for sure.”

Listeners and critics have taken note of Bells Atlas’ unique blend of R&B, African music, pop and psychedelia. Afropunk.com, the online hub of the festival and cultural movement of the same name, praised the band’s music as “a sumptuous feast for the ears.” Impose declared that “no two-bit adjectives can contain their infectious sound, [which] draws influences from all corners and unexpected places the world over.”

Boise music fans can hear that unique sound on Tuesday, Oct. 16, when Bells Atlas plays Neurolux. Local electronica act Up is the Down is the will open.

Bells Atlas will perform at Neurolux on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

When Stuart and Lawson-Ndu formed the group in 2011, they called it simply “Bells.” Recruiting Harrison and Barber, they played under that name for almost two years before they discovered a problem.

“We were about to release our first album and [realized] just how challenging it was to find us on the internet with just the name ‘Bells,’” Stuart recalled with a chuckle. “So that was kind of the inspiration to augment it.”

The bandmates came up with a variety of alternate names but finally settled on Bells Atlas.

“I don’t know, it was the only one that we all agreed on,” Stuart said. “I think because it’s not very confining. It’s expansive and could apply to a lot of different worlds and a lot of different influences.”

Befitting its name, the group draws upon a wide range of genres. Lawson-Ndu, a Nigerian-American, grew up listening to highlife, a combination of jazz, calypso and West African music. Stuart and Barber studied jazz together at the University of Michigan. Harrison attended the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and played in a range of settings, like orchestras, rock bands, jazz ensembles and salsa groups.

Blending so many types of music makes categorizing Bells Atlas difficult.

“I feel like our music is very hard to put in a box, which can be challenging at times,” Stuart said. “But at the same time, it’s nice for that reason because I think it appeals to a lot of different people who tend to be in a different thing. I think that [is reflected] in the audience we usually attract. Also, the kinds of bands that we can bill with is pretty diverse.”

To date, those bands have included Canadian jazz fusion group Badbadnotgood, Australian “future soul” group Hiatus Kaiyote and Oakland-based hip-hop band The Coup.

In a 2015 interview with SF Weekly, Coup frontman Boots Riley expressed his admiration for Bells Atlas.

“Rarely, someone comes around that is influenced by so many things but is looking for a new way to do something,” he said. “You can’t really put any particular category on it.

Bells Atlas is like that.”

Bells Atlas’ members will put out more category-defying music soon. During the winter, they’ll work on various solo projects and might start writing new band material. Then, the group will release its sophomore LP next spring and begin touring.

Whatever Stuart and company do next, they should bear out the rest of Riley’s comment: “It is possible to be experimental and creative in a way that makes you excited about what they’re doing and about life.”

BOISEWEEKLY

Artists’ Open Studios Weekend Tour In Partnership with

r tou p ma de Insi

Step through the door into an artist’s private studio and you will see that artist’s mind at work. It’s an incredible once-a-year opportunity for avid collectors and anyone who is curious about the art-making process.

A glance around a studio is enormously informative. You will see what tools the artist reaches for. You may see swatches that have been chosen for a fiber arts project; the latest experimental combination of color and texture; even older work tucked away in a dusty corner.

BOSCO artists are happy to share stories about their work and the unexpected directions their artistic journey has taken them in. Things you might never learn about from a gallery visit or by reading an artist’s biography.

Most BOSCO artists work in studios located in or close to their homes. Be it in the heart of downtown or around the bend and up the hill, each studio is a bright spot of inspiration and productivity. A thoroughly intriguing place to visit. We look forward to welcoming you to our favorite places, our studios.

In one promotional image, a woman sits in a wheelchair hooked up to an IV, screaming and clutching the side of her face as a black-robed, skeleton-masked figure behind her rests its hand on her head— the setup for a night of self-induced discomfort if ever there was one.

BOSCO OPEN STUDIOS WEEKEND

ZOO BOISE SPOOKTACULAR

BOISE WEEKLY COVER AUCTION

If movies and television are to believed, the artist’s studio is something of a mad scientist’s laboratory—it’s the place where the magic happens, perennially messy and jam-packed with baffling tools. It’s also a private space, often sequestered in an artist’s home. That veil is occasionally lifted in Boise though, thanks in large part to BOSCO’s Artists’ Open Studios Weekend Tour, a three-day annual event when 64 local artists invite the public into their studios. Art buffs can get a peek at new work, and even talk to the artists themselves. Plus, there’s a chance to score free art; participants simply have to print off a “passport” from the BOSCO website, visit a minimum of 10 studios and have it stamped at each location. Completed passports will be entered into a drawing for free art—a deal too good to pass up.

4-8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, FREE. Check out pages 11-14 of this issue for a full list of artists and locations.

The idea of Halloween at the zoo might tempt an outcry of “Lions, tigers and bears, oh my!” but in fact, Zoo Boise’s mid-October Spooktacular has been billed as a “merry-not-scary,” family friendly event. More properly, it’s a string of events, with the first cluster running Friday-Sunday, Oct. 12-14, and the second Friday-Sunday, Oct. 19-21. Each night will feature Halloween displays and special themed activities, as well as entertainment and close-up interactions with the animals. Perhaps the most exciting part of the Spooktacular is that it takes place after hours, continuing through 8 or 9 p.m. depending on the day of the week. Young kids in particular will get a thrill wandering the zoo in the dark to see their favorite critters—so why not let them run wild?

6-9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 5:30-8 p.m.

Sundays. FREE-$10, with discounts for members. Zoo Boise, 355 Julia Davis Dr., 208-6087760, zooboise.org.

Since 2001, Boise Weekly has given up its most valuable piece of real estate—the cover— to local artists each week. And each year we give them a double dose of love, auctioning off their original artworks and handing them a chunk of the proceeds. This year, the annual Boise Weekly Cover Art Auction will take place at the Visual Arts Collective on Wednesday, Oct. 17, filling the Garden City exhibition space with 52 weeks’ worth of cover artwork.

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the artists, BW’s art grants and our journalism efforts. Even better, the $15 cover charge will be credited toward your winning bids. The doors open at 5 p.m., bidding starts at 6 p.m. sharp, and a no-host bar and appetizers from Bonefish Grill will set the tone for a good time.

Don’t miss this party—or forget your ID. 5 p.m., $15. Visual Arts Collective, 3638 Osage St., Garden City, 208-424-8297, visualartscollective.com.

The streak of vintage-inspired bands coming to Boise continues with the arrival of the Mystic Braves at Neurolux on Thursday, Oct. 11. On its most recent album, The Great Unknown (2018, Lolipop Records), songs vibrating with nasal resonance speak about love, heartache and a pervading restlessness driven by adventure in lyrics like “Got another destination / Only for the new sensations / Caught up in the place that I once knew,” from the title track. Most notably, Mystic Braves consistently presents intricate guitar solos reminiscent of old-school greats like The Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Mystic Braves is still a fairly new name, having released its debut album in 2012, but in a way, that fresh perspective works to its advantage.

Listeners should prepare to be reminded of what made the music of the ‘60s so inspiring in the first place.

When it comes to jazz piano, New Yorkbased Larry Fuller is one of the best in the business. In 2010, a New York Times article gushed that he “sprinkles stardust on whatever song he plays,” and although that might be a bit of an exaggeration, the sentiment holds. Fuller started tickling the keys at age 13, and in the 40 years that followed he played around the world alongside notables like Ernestine Anderson, Ray Brown, Jeff Hamilton and John Pizzarelli. Now, he leads his own trio, and on Thursday, Oct. 11, it will appear at the Riverside Hotel Sapphire Room for an Idaho Jazz Education Endowment-sponsored concert. Fuller is known as much for his emotionally charged, swinging delivery as for his technically meticulous playing—so if you make it to the Sapphire on Thursday, prepare to be swept up in song.

Is there anything more quintessentially Idaho than lip balm dispensed from a 20-gauge shotgun shell? If there is, we can’t think of it at the moment—we’re too busy checking out the website for Balmshot, the Eagle-based company that pedals its shotgun shell lip balm nationwide. According to company lore, the shotgun shell wasn’t the inspiration for founder Wayne S. Forrey’s lip balm innovation. Instead, it was the fact that the ribbed base of other lip balms, which he used consistently following a bout with lip cancer, got caught on the lining of his pocket, causing the balm to twist up while he wasn’t using it and creating “a gooey mess” whenever he opened the cap. Searching in his garage for a solution, Forrey came up with using a shotgun shell to create a smooth base for his own line of balms, avoiding the pocket-soiling issue. Practicalities aside, Balmshot’s beeswax balms simply look cool, with their shiny gold bases and bull’s-eye logos. Available in flavors like cool mint, vanilla mint and pomegranate, they can be found at retailers across the U.S., including Bed Bath & Beyond, Cabella’s, Fred Meyer and Ace Hardware. In a nod to Forrey, proceeds from the sale of pink ribbon-marked products go to the cancer-fighting Mountain States Tumor Institute.

TOOTSIE ROLLS SMARTIES LICORICE GOOD & PLENTY MARY JANES

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My astrological analysis suggests that life is conspiring to render you extra excited, unusually animated and highly motivated. I bet that if you cooperate with the natural rhythms, you will feel stirred, playful and delighted. So how can you best use this gift? How might you take maximum advantage of the lucky breaks and bursts of grace that will be arriving? Here’s my opinion: Be more focused on discovering possibilities than making final decisions. Feed your sense of wonder and awe rather than your drive to figure everything out. Give more power to what you can imagine than to what you already know.

Being practical is fine as long as you’re idealistically practical.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How far is it from the Land of the Lost to the Land of the Lost and Found? What’s the best route to take? Who and what are likely to provide the best help? If you approach those questions with a crisply optimistic attitude, you can gather a wealth of useful information in a relatively short time. The more research you do about the journey, the faster it will go and the more painless it will be. Here’s another question to meditate on: Is there a smart and kind way to give up your attachment to a supposedly important thing that is actually quite burdensome?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In her only novel, Save Me the Waltz, Zelda Fitzgerald described her main character like this: “She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.” That’s a bit too much like fairy-tale wisdom for me to endorse it unconditionally. But I do believe it may sometimes be a valid hypothesis—especially for you Sagittarians in the coming months. Your faith in yourself and your desire to have interesting fun will be even more important than usual in determining what adventures you will have. I suggest you start now to lay the groundwork for this exhilarating challenge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Russian philosopher George Gurdjieff taught that most people are virtually sleepwalking even during the day.

He said we’re permanently stuck on automatic pilot, prone to reacting in mechanical ways to every event that comes our way. Psychology pioneer Sigmund Freud had an equally dim view of us humans. He believed that it’s our normal state to be neurotic; that most of us are chronically out of sync with our surroundings. Now here’s the good news, Capricorn. You’re at least temporarily in a favorable position to refute both men’s theories. In fact, I’ll boldly predict that in the next three weeks you’ll be as authentic, awake and at peace as you’ve been in years.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the late 19th-century, American botanist George Washington Carver began to champion the nutritional value of peanuts. His influence led to the plant being grown and used more extensively. Although he accomplished many other innovations, including techniques for enhancing depleted soils, he became famous as the Peanut Man. Later in life, he told the story that while young he had prayed to God to show him the mystery of the universe, but God turned him down, saying, “That’s for me alone.” So George asked God to show him the mystery of the peanut, and God agreed, saying, “That’s more nearly your size.” The coming weeks will be a great time for you to seek a comparable revelation, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every year, people discard 3.3 million pounds of chewing gum on the streets of Amsterdam. A company named Gumdrop has begun to harvest that waste and use it to make soles for its new brand of sneakers, Gumshoe. A spokesperson said the intention was to “create a product people actually want from something no one cares about.” I’d love it if you were inspired by this visionary act of recycling, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic omens, you now have exceptional powers to transform something you don’t want into something you do want.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his book The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen describes his quest to glimpse the elusive and rarely seen creature in the Himalayas. “Its uncompromising yellow eyes, wired into the depths of its unfathomable spirit,” he writes, give it a “terrible beauty” that is “the very stuff of human longing.” He loves the snow leopard so much, he says, that it is the animal he “would most like to be eaten by.” I bring this up, Aries, because now would be a good time, astrologically speaking, for you to identify what animal you would most like to be eaten by. In other words, what creature would you most like to learn from and be inspired by?

What beautiful beast has the most to give you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Richard Nelson is an anthropologist who has lived for years with the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska.

He lauds their “careful watching of the same events in the same place” over long periods of time, noting how this enables them to cultivate a rich relationship with their surroundings that is incomprehensible to us Westerners. He concludes, “There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains.” I think that’s excellent counsel for you to employ in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you,” writes Gemini author Jamaica Kincaid. I disagree with her because she implies that if you’re human, your life is a complete and utter mystery, whereas my observation has been that for most of us, our lives are no more than 80 percent mystery. Some lucky ones have even deciphered as much as 65 percent, leaving only 35 percent mystery. What’s your percentage? I expect that between now and Thursday, Nov. 1, you can increase your understanding by at least 10 percent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians may not possess the mental dexterity of Virgos or the acute cleverness of Geminis, but you have the most soulful intelligence in the zodiac. Your empathetic intuition is among your greatest treasures.

Your capacity to feel deeply gives you the ability to intensely understand the inner workings of life.

Sometimes you take this subtle acumen for granted.

It may be hard for you to believe that others are stuck at a high-school level of emotional skill when you have the equivalent of a PhD. Everything I just said is a prelude to my advice. In the coming weeks, I doubt you can solve your big riddle through rational analysis.

Your best strategy is to deeply experience all the interesting feelings that are rising up in you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you ever experience stress from having to be so interesting and attractive all the time? It may on occasion feel like an onerous responsibility to be the only artful egomaniac amidst swarms of amateur egomaniacs. I have a suggestion that might help.

Twice a year, celebrate a holiday I call Dare to Be Boring Week. During these periods of release and relief, you won’t live up to people’s expectations that you keep them amused and excited. You’ll be free to be solely focused on amusing and exciting yourself, even if that means they’ll think you’re dull. Now is an excellent time to observe Dare to Be Boring Week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A Chinese proverb says, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” I’m happy to let you know that you are currently more receptive to this truth than maybe you have ever been. Furthermore, you have more power than usual to change your life in ways that incorporate this truth. To get started, meditate on the hypothesis that you can get more good work done if you’re calm and composed than if you’re agitated and trying too hard.
