Letters Keep Moving Forward, Utah

I’ve lived in Utah for almost 50 years. During my presence, much has changed and moved forward, though there are still areas of potential growth and acceptance. 1. How many residents realize that SLC is one of the largest refugee reception areas? We are privileged to have families who are living here from Tonga, Samoa, Sudan, Somalia, Bosnia, Mexico, Central and South America, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Turkey, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, etc. 2. How many local residents are willing to attend a festival celebrating another culture’s education and tradition? 3. How much energy has been spent to provide housing, education, monies, resources, etc., to help them recover from a life of horror that is beyond most of what we can imagine? I feel it’s tragic that there are not more events that are publicized to encourage education and exposure to the many wonderful cultures and life stories that are so close in our community. There is so much to experience and to help us realize that we are all human beings. Working with health-care providers from other countries, I’ve come to appreciate the similarities, differences and acceptance and willingness to share common-

Much learning has occurred, for which I’m grateful. In summary, if Utah is so accepting of so many other cultures and beliefs, then why can’t I marry the love of my life? A woman marrying a woman, with two families whose children have accepted the other partner, a birth certificate with two women’s names on it. We’re both tax-paying individuals, support our families, provide a service to the community, yet we are second or thirdclass citizens. I legally adopted my child before it became illegal in Utah, provided the needs for raising a child—sparing no expense for braces, medical care, education, etc., with no regret. My current partner has accepted her as one of her own. My ex is still in the picture and is happy that our child has another family with my partner. Yet, we’re not recognized as a couple, family or citizen. It is my hope that within 10 to 20 years, the community will recognize that genes are what they are. I was raised by heterosexual, Mormon-temple-married parents. My child is raised by lesbians and is completely, 100 percent heterosexual. Go figure.

Get Over Gay Marriage

I beseech the State of Utah to cease any and all appeals relating to Judge Robert Shelby’s decision striking down Amendment 3, Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage. The whole situation is an embarrassment to Utah and will be seen as a black mark on our state’s history someday. Gov. Herbert and Attorney General Sean Reyes need a serious reality check. Times have changed. The ’50s are over! Leave It to Beaver is off the air! The writing is on the wall. Marriage equality is coming to the United States. The sooner our leaders grasp this, the better off everyone will be. And the money being allocated to fight Judge Shelby’s ruling is simply outrageous. It has been estimated that the state’s appeal will cost as much as $2 million. Wouldn’t that be better spent on—I don’t know—our money-starved education system? It’s time for the State of Utah to join the real world and allow members of the LGBT community to be treated equally under the law, as stated in the Fourteenth Amendment.

OPINION

Elegy for a School Year

I ended another year of teaching recently. I sat through the graduation ceremony on the football field in my own college-graduation robes, cringing and laughing as the senior class presidency stumbled through commencement speeches both hopeful and hopelessly naïve. These are the best years of our lives, but the best is yet to come. I remembered my own high school graduation, almost exactly 10 years earlier, and my false eagerness to leave the stability of bells telling me where to go and when to leave. Ten years later, that need for stability still lingers. Like many overly sensitive introverts, I feel a little too deeply sometimes, so I compensate by keeping a tight rein on the feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality that come so painlessly to some. I joke with my students and peers that I hate the end of the school year. “Too many feelings!” I complain while signing yearbooks and posing for photos. But as I watched my students cross the stage to receive their diplomas, I indulged in a little nostalgia and wondered about my 17-year-old self. How would she feel, meeting me at 27? I hope she would be proud. I hope I measure up, at least a little, to the equally hopeless and hopelessly naïve speeches I heard in 2004. This school year was difficult. I wrote a piece for City Weekly about some of my students. They didn’t like me very much sometimes. Despite working harder than ever, I often felt discouraged and incompetent. My jokes fell flat. The carefully planned lessons designed to encourage engagement and discussion resulted in blank stares. I fought for every positive relationship I developed with my students. On the last day of school, I received some really kind and beautiful notes from some of my graduating students. I’m grateful for every note, card and drawing stu-

B Y st e p h a n i e l a u r i t z e n

dents give me, but this year the notes felt especially sincere and thoughtful. Reading their letters, I realized that despite my attempts to always keep my emotions carefully controlled, I truly learned to love and appreciate this group of kids—even the difficult ones. Especially the difficult ones. After graduation, a parent grabbed my arm and thanked me for teaching her son. She told me I gave her hope that her son would be successful in the adult world, and thanked me for noticing a quiet but passionate student who is overlooked in public education. In those moments, I feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of my job. Sometimes I compare teaching to treading open water. You kick and paddle and try not to drown for 180 days. But this year, for a few moments on the last days of the year, I managed to swim to shore. I looked back on the past year and realized I wasn’t treading water; I was swimming across oceans. More importantly, I managed to pull a few students along with me. We made it. It really was the best days of our lives, and the best really is yet to come. If I met my 17-year-old self today, I suspect she’d be proud of the tangible things I’ve accomplished since the bells stopped telling me where to go. I think she’d be proud of my advanced degree. She’d be impressed with my job and my comfortable home. But if I met her, I’d tell her that of all my accomplishments, I’m most proud of my ability to love a little deeper and better than I loved in high school. After all, what skill is more necessary to survival than loving the people around us? Especially the difficult people, especially the quiet but passionate people who sometimes go overlooked in a loud and busy world? I spend my days teaching teenagers about

literature and history, and as sentimental and clichéd as it may sound, my teenagers teach me about love. I know, I know. “Too many feelings!” In Theodore Roethke’s poem “Elegy for Jane,” the narrator describes the pain of losing a beloved student in a tragic accident. He compares Jane to nature: “A wren, happy, tail into the wind/ Her song trembling the twigs and small branches/ The shade sang with her.” There’s a gentle reminder that his love for Jane is natural and honest, as innocent as a wren flying through the sky. (An important reminder in our world, where it seems like every damned year a teacher does something inappropriate with a student. Roethke’s narrator is a devoted teacher, not a predator.) Roethke closes his poem mourning not only the death of his student, but fearing that he doesn’t deserve to love her at all: “I, with no rights in this matter,/ Neither father nor lover.” His closing lines point out an uncomfortable truth: We often deny ourselves the opportunity to love people unless they are romantically or biologically linked to us, and it often stunts our growth toward emotionally healthy adulthood. I think that is why those letters and the conversation with a parent meant so much to me this year. Those words are evidence that the hard work I put into teaching my students meant something bigger than an understanding of Steinbeck or Fitzgerald. Maybe, just maybe, as my students walked across the stage and into the adult word, they entered knowing how to love a little bit better than I did at age 17. I, with no rights in this matter, neither mother nor lover. CW

After all, what skill is more necessary to survival than loving the people around us?

What would you tell your 17-yearold self if you had the chance? Alissa Dimick: Go to college, no matter how impossible it may feel. Eat all the carbs while you can, and then stop when you are 21. You get fat and it’s not pretty..

Scott Renshaw: Oooooh no. I’ve read enough science-fiction stories to know how this works out, and it’s never good. Jeff Chipian: Where would I start? Slow down; speeding tickets add up real quick. The Patriots win the SuperBowl; Bet everything! Don’t buy half of the shit I bought! Do not see Spider-man 2. Greece wins the Euro Cup; Again, bet everything! John Saltas: Not to wear pajamas to gym class. I got away with it so thought I was a rebel, but I failed gym as a result. Who fails gym? But since it didn’t matter, it didn’t hurt. Failure should hurt or else you don’t learn.

Colin Wolf: Well, the most logical thing to do would be to give my 17-year-old self a copy of Gray’s Sports Almanac, tell him to pick the winners, invest the money in a casino, and ultimately marry Loraine Baines. Ylish Merkley: Invest in f lappy bird, and be prepared to make millions of people incredibly frustrated. Laugh maniacally. Though honestly, I would say to never give up on my dreams and goals, and if I’m not truly happy I need to move on to something better.

Jeff Reese: Learn to program right away, start building web applications (don’t let Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have all the fun), and retire early.

The community should be up in arms over the impending demise of the so-called clean-air board, which is not a clean-air board at all. Senate Bill #275 created the Alternative Energy Interlocal Entity Board, which clean-air advocates hoped would look at ways to scrub the air. In fact, the board was stacked with members from the petroleum industry, a gas corporation, the transit authority and various government types. Its purpose was to help build and maintain natural gas stations while the Public Service Commission explored ways to clean the air. The bill allowed for recouping of costs, but only by going through a public process. It was all too hard. Someone wanted an ongoing revenue stream—at the ratepayer’s expense—and without a big-picture goal. This was not a board bent on cleaning the air.

GOP Talk In case you didn’t hear, Mitt Romney is not running for president, but he does want to be a leader. He seems to like that role—and to that end, sponsored his third-annual Republican retreat at Deer Valley Resort. The GOP is in search of a frontrunner, and Romney’s here to help—by giving them a forum, if not funding, for the 2016 run at the presidency. “The remnants of Mr. Romney’s campaign apparatus are a trove of money and power for any contender capable of seizing them,” a New York Times article said. There was, of course, talk of détente, but that’s not something the GOP Congress is willing to embrace. Mia Love was there as a symbol of diversity, and there was even talk of samesex marriage. And former Gov. Mike Huckabee talked about compromise. Good luck with that.

Lake Celebration Well, it’s about time someone noticed that the Great Salt Lake is not just a smelly, fly-ridden body of water. It is one of the great wonders of the world, “America’s Dead Sea,” and a buffer to the beautiful buffalo herds of Antelope Island. A new visitors center at Great Salt Lake State Park recently opened, with displays that tell the story of the lake’s history. Because Kennecott contributed, the center will have signage about the copper mine. But the best thing about this is the recognition that the lake is a vital part of Utah history and industry— from the heyday of concerts at Saltair to the earthen art of Robert Smithson and more.

Utah native Candice Pugh is the owner, designer and seamstress of her business Bullets & Bees Boutique (BulletsAndBeesBoutique.com). Pugh produces eccentric and creative intimates that are custom-made for the unique shape of each customer. She’s featured Star Trek, Ryan Gosling and even Alf in her designs, and believes that quirky is sexy. She is a full-time mom with a 4-year-old son and is seven months pregnant with her second child.

Do you think the definition of sexy is beginning to change? I hope so. This is the lingerie that I like to make, and that I would want to wear as a female. I want something sexy and not totally generic. It’s comfortable but revealing and still not the Victoria’s Secret typical lingerie.

What is your most requested item? Ryan Gosling crotchless panties. That and cats.

Are you considering opening up a space for your business?

Yes. I feel like this pregnancy is coming at an awful time. I do have all of these hopes and aspirations and am just so limited. But I’m also grateful for the time that I have to build my business while I’m pregnant. I’m really looking forward to that, downtown somewhere, definitely Salt Lake. But for now, all I can handle is my online business.

Is there a decade that inspires the look of your curvy-friendly styles?

Not at all. I actually hate pin up. I just prefer the human body. This is such a different time and a different generation. We should be embracing it. There’s no stopping aging or gaining weight—I learned that for sure during this pregnancy. It’s only natural, so why should we demonize it? It’s such an awesome time to feature different types of people. It’s what appeals to me. This is what is coming up right now, and I’m happy to take advantage of all the tattooed, plus-size models that want to wear my stuff. It’s what I like, and that’s what I’m going for. I’m really grateful for those models.

What’s your favorite inspiration for your lingerie?

I really like hip-hop. I’m really into political hip-hop, actually, and I want to be heading more in that direction when I have more free time. I want to take what I believe and kind of say what I want to say the way I want to say it the same way that they do. It’s just such a big deal. My husband and I are just really into politics, and I’m hoping there’ll be a day when one person changes the world, and I’ll do that with underwear.

Do you feel different from the stereotypes of a full-time Utah moms?

It’s interesting because I feel like I am a typical stay-at-home mom. I go to Discovery Gateway with my 4-year-old son, I go to all of the normal places with him and I just get the worst looks. I’m just thinking, “I’m just like you.” I don’t think people would expect me to do this, to have an actual business and do what I love. It’s kind of fun to have in the back of my head—that’s their job, their watching their kids, and I’m watching my kid too but I’m also on my phone doing what I love and handling my business.

STRAIGHT DOPE Easy Breezy As I drive through the fruited plains, I see more and more windmills twisting in the breeze. These behemoths got me to thinking: Taking into account the carbon cost of production, transport and assembly, when does the windmill become both financially and carbon-footprint cost-effective? I’ve asked several energy experts, including one manufacturer, and they had no clue. —Todd J. Janus No clue? Where did you find these socalled experts? The carbon cost of wind power is well known—low carbon emissions is one of wind’s main advantages. (Renewability, naturally, is the other.) Wind’s cost-effectiveness from a financial standpoint is likewise no mystery, but frankly, the story is less upbeat, particularly in light of the natural gas boom due to fracking. I don’t say it’s game over for wind power; all fossil fuels, including gas, will run out eventually. But wind has a steep hill to climb. To gauge the carbon cost of a powergeneration source, engineers perform what’s known as a life-cycle analysis. This takes into account everything from construction and transportation of components to the site, pouring of foundations, and stringing of transmission lines to eventual decommissioning costs when the generating device has reached the end of its useful life. For wind power, these costs aren’t trivial. Some wind turbines are so massive that a single blade is nearly as long as a football field. Wind turbines contain iron, zinc, aluminum, lead and other metals that must be mined and refined. The cost of transmission lines and transformers can also be sizable, since turbine fields are often in remote locations. But carbonwise, it pays off. A standard unit of measurement for greenhouse gas emissions is grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kWh) generated. The worst offenders—coal-fired power plants—typically produce about 1,000 grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour. Natural-gas power plants emit about 600 grams, while solar photovoltaic cells can emit from 50 to 250 grams depending on technology. Nuclear power plants emit just 20 to 30 grams, but nukes have other issues. Wind turbines vary considerably—offshore plants generate more juice due to steadier winds but have much higher carbon costs. On average, though, wind generates less than 30 grams of carbon per kilowatt-hour. Out-of-pocket costs are where wind power runs into trouble. According to U.S. Department of Energy projections, offshore wind power plants entering service in 2019 will have a net cost of 20 cents per kilowatt-hour, by far the highest cost of any technology except solar thermal. Onshore wind power is much cheaper at 8 cents/kWh, which compares well with coal at 9.6 cents, although you can switch coal on and off as needed, unlike wind. Natural-gas-fired plants, however, kick

virtually every other technology’s butt. They produce electricity for as little as 6.4 cents/ kWh, cheaper than all other sources except geothermal—and geothermal has limited availability, while gas is abundant. Gas is also relatively easy to transport and available on demand. If it weren’t for global warming, natural gas unquestionably would be the electricity-generation source of choice. But global warming can’t be ignored, much as some would like to. Although cleaner than coal, natural-gas plants still produce significant CO2. In the near term, the limits proposed by the Obama administration won’t make natural gas less attractive; on the contrary, if they stick they’ll hasten the switch from coal-fired generation to gas. However, a carbon tax, which has been proposed with varying degrees of seriousness, would be a different story. Australia recently enacted a controversial carbon tax of more than $23 per metric ton of CO2. This dramatically shifts the financial balance in favor of wind, which can generate power at 70 percent of the cost of natural gas and 55 percent that of coal. But I don’t see a carbon tax getting much traction in the U.S.—Obama will have a tough enough time holding the line on CO2 limits. Absent such a tax, the prospects for wind are dubious. Till now, the wind-power industry has benefited from a tax credit of 2.3 cents/kWh for plants that started construction before 2014. The credit lasts ten years, bringing the cost per kilowatt-hour below six cents, which overcomes a lot of investor hesitation. The credit is currently in limbo because of Republican-led efforts to slash or kill it. Kill the credit and you kill much of the incentive, which is another way of saying the credit is distorting the market. You ask: Isn’t a tax credit for wind just a carbon tax from a different angle? No. The carbon tax says “Figure out a way to reduce emissions.” The tax credit says “Here’s how you’re going to reduce emissions.” If we’re trying to encourage innovation—and we’d better be—that’s a big distinction. Over the long term, wind’s prospects are brighter. For 2040, the DOE projects that power-generation costs for natural gas will rise, while those for wind will drop (although offshore wind will still be among the costliest technologies). If so, wind power may make more economic sense. But from a strictly dollars-and-cents perspective, it doesn’t make a lot of sense right now.

Fund Willy

A scholarship for the children of incarcerated parents struggles to gain traction with inmates and the prison. By Stephen Dark sdark@cityweekly.net @stephenpdark Utah State Prison inmate Brian Maguire knows how important the Willy the Plumber scholarship can be for the child of an incarcerated parent. Maguire’s son has never forgiven him for “not being there when he was growing up,” Maguire says today in a prison visiting room. While his son’s friends regaled one another with stories about various adventures with their fathers, all Maguire’s son had was the memory of pushing chairs around as if they were cars while his parents talked. “He grew up in the prison visiting room,” Maguire says. If the scholarship had existed when his now-adult son was a teenager, he says, it “might have helped him get over that hump of shame” that having an incarcerated father gave him, and perhaps propelled him to college. The indigent Maguire can’t make amends to his estranged son, but, he says, “I can [pay] it forward so that other children might see the possibility of being more than they think they might be.” Former inmate Karl Winsness founded the Willy the Plumber scholarship fund three years ago. He had hoped that some of the Utah State Prison’s 6,000 inmates would share Maguire’s enthusiasm and donate their time or the few dollars they could gather from earning 40 cents an hour at the prison. But thus far, inmates have contributed $15. Winsness admits to baff lement. “This is for their kids.” The prison’s support has been equally low. Winsness expected that the institution would help by spreading the news about a cause that could potentially impact the cycle of incarceration. But instead, prison officials have largely spurned his pleas for support. Jerry Pope, the head of institutional operations at the prison, says the lack of donations by inmates is not necessarily surprising. “The issue may be they don’t know [about the fund] or they don’t want to. If I don’t have kids or don’t care about my kids, why would I donate to a former felon or somebody else’s kid?” It’s not so much an issue of what

l aw & o r d e r

the Department of Corrections does or doesn’t do to support the fund, he says, as the fund being “a tough sell to offenders, particularly when offenders’ families are already struggling.” When Winsness started the fund in 2011, prison officials were more enthusiastic. Winsness posted a May 2011 e-mail on his website from Craig Burr, a director of prison programming, who wrote that while the scholarship would not be sponsored by the Department of Corrections, promotional material could be posted in visiting rooms as long as it was preapproved by the prison. A month later, however, Burr wrote in an e-mail that the department had “decided to deny your request to display fliers and posters at UDC facilities,” Burr wrote, suggesting that Winsness instead distribute fliers to school districts. But Winsness says posting fliers in the visiting rooms was crucial to inform both inmates and their children about the scholarship. Why mail thousands of posters to schools and community centers across the state when he could reach the families he needed to by posting a dozen fliers in the prison’s visiting rooms? Inside the prison, inmate Maguire also had little luck promoting the scholarship. Maguire—who after violating parole nine times is now in for life—is indigent and disabled after a stroke in prison. He says that he knew that for the fund to succeed, he had to secure prison cooperation. Deputy director of administrative services Mike Haddon responded to Maguire’s first inquiry with heartfelt excitement in a November 2012 letter. While it wasn’t a commitment to support the program, Haddon noted that Maguire had caught his interest and “reminded me of the good people can do, whomever or wherever they are.” Maguire was allowed to post fliers in the Oquirrh section of the prison he was housed in, but found his promotional plans to raise funds from the inmates—such as organizing a picniclike “spread” that inmates would pay to partake in—were not getting anywhere, and his fliers were taken down. He met with deputy warden Larry Bussio a year later to discuss his plans, but was informed in a subsequent letter that “the department could not be a middle man in handling donations,” although officials were still willing to “brainstorm on logistics.” Bussio also noted “there cannot be any activity that may lead to the perception of strong arming [donations] like the ‘spread’ you mentioned.” Maguire says he fears that there may be “an actual reluctance in the institution to support something a for-

Former inmate Karl Winsness spreading the word about his scholarship fund outside the prison in Februrary 2012. mer inmate has created.” But Fraser Nelson, executive director of the Community Foundation of Utah, which administers the fund’s finances and selects winners from the applicants, says that the obstacle may rather be prison bureaucracy. “I think things get gummed up in the Department of Corrections all the time,” she says. Pope says the fund is “an awesome idea.” Pope was running Uinta—the maximum-security wing of the prison—when he got to know Winsness as an inmate, and praises him as “one of our success stories.” “If Karl can make it work, that’s phenomenal,” he continues. But there’s a key difference between supporting the fund and endorsing it, he says. “The biggest problem we’ve run into is what we do for one, we’ve got to do for all,” Pope says. “We are in the business of keeping this institution safe. Part of me wants to help Karl, but if we do it for him, how can we not do it for everyone else?” While Maguire’s efforts have thus far borne little fruit, an advocate Winsness found for the fund in the woman’s prison has made some headway. Jenny requested anonymity, as she did not want further publicity for her sex offense impacting her victim. “Jenny,” like Maguire, views the fund in personal terms. Her memories of growing up while her mother, father and stepfather were all in prison on drug charges make her cry. Children of incarcerated parents, she says, “have no direction. They don’t have role models to look up to. They’re on their own.”

Jenny says she became an adult at age 14, when her parents went to prison; after that, she moved from one house to the next as she descended into drug addiction. Every child of incarcerated parents, she believes, “has abandonment issues.” Initially, she says, she too encountered resistance to putting up fliers Winsness sent her. But now, she says, her caseworker, unit captain and lieutenant “all think it’s great.” Jenny hopes to raise $100 or more from the 143 inmates in her unit at a July 4 walkathon in the main yard. Like Maguire, what draws her to the fund is the possibility to give back, “if not to my own child, then to others, so that they do not go down the road I picked.” The fund “will get bigger,” she predicts. “Everything takes time in here.” Nelson says the desire to give back is universal, “and just because people are in prison, they shouldn’t be denied that opportunity. I’m not saying they are denied it by the prison, but they haven’t made it any easier.” The Department of Corrections, she says, simply needs to “figure out how to make it work.” Whatever the reasons for the fund’s struggles to grow, Winsness knows that within the walls of Utah’s prison, achieving success ultimately comes down to a track record. “Usually in prison, you have to prove yourself before other inmates will back your play,” he says.

NEWS The Cyber War on Plagiarism

M E D I A M ATTER S

Deseret News uses high-tech software to vet freelance submissions. By Eric S. Peterson epeterson@cityweekly.net @ericspeterson If dire predictions about print media—and the world at large—hold true, robots will soon run riot over the ravaged landscape, killing and replacing newspaper reporters and editors and other inferior species of a bygone era. This rise-of-the-machines scenario is already taking shape here in Utah, though in a decidedly less apocalyptic way. The Deseret News is now supplementing the work of its editors through the services of anti-plagiarism software called PlagScan, which can cross-check any article against a vast database to make sure the author isn’t plagiarizing or getting sloppy with attributing source material. While the service may have been originally designed for stopping students from copying the guts of their term papers from Wikipedia, it could now be a valuable tool for the Deseret News, which as recently as summer 2013 apologized for publishing six columns containing plagiarized material. PlagScan boasts a fancy two-step computer linguistics algorithm for checking submissions, incorporating billions of documents for cross-checking with an index that is updated daily, according to the company’s website. And though it’s not a replacement for a flesh & blood copy editor, it may be the future of how news organizations most effectively screen freelance contributions to make sure the untested contributor isn’t a practitioner of copy & paste “journalism.” Burke Olsen, web editor for the Deseret News, says the paper’s decision to use PlagScan isn’t a cure-all but is a worthwhile experiment. “We’ve tested a few different solutions in an effort to help our editors evaluate content,” Olsen writes via e-mail. “PlagScan is the best solution we’ve found so far for a newsroom setting. It’s not a silver bullet, but it’s another way we’re using technology to innovate and improve.” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints-owned Deseret News is in a unique position to test the viability for anti-plagiarism software given the very dramatic changes the paper has undergone since August 2010, when 43 percent of its staff was laid off and the paper underwent a dramatic restructuring. A new component of the paper’s

The Deseret News is using anti-plagiarism software to scan contributed articles.

reorganization was to leverage more than 1,000 unpaid or low-paid freelance contributors through a program called Deseret Connect. Contributors to Deseret Connect earn payments on their submissions based on clicks and views of their story but, for the most part, the major incentive for contribution is increased exposure for the author. The Deseret News would not comment on how many contributors they currently have. Using so many freelancers hasn’t always worked well for the Deseret News. In 2011, former West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder was revealed as having assumed the name of Richard Burwash to write positive stories about his city. In 2013, the media-watchdog organization iMediaEthics compared a July 31, 2013, column written by Richard and Linda Eyre to a New York Times piece and found that “the bulk of the article is either verbatim from the Times without giving credit and quotes, or a slightly rewritten version.” The Deseret News investigated the Eyres’ other works and found five further columns with attribution problems. The Eyres, who regularly contribute columns to the paper on family-related topics and do so without compensation, were suspended from contributing to the paper for one month. In October 2013, the D-News faced more challenges when it was discovered that a summer intern at the paper had written 40 stories with sloppy attribution. Kelly McBride, the executive vice president for academic programs at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, sees the use of anti-plagiarism software as a smart move for news organizations that rely on freelancers and other non-staff contributors. “I think it makes sense that if you are going to be using a lot of outsider material that you would need an effective way to check for plagiarism,” McBride says. “I don’t feel like you need to hire a copy editor just to check for plagiarism, so that feels like a legitimate use for technology.” Edward Pease, a retired journalism professor who taught at Utah State University, notes via e-mail that while “technology cannot replace good old-fashioned copy editors … academics have used online resources for years to catch plagiarism.” Though technology can’t do everything, he says, spotting plagiarized copy seems like a logical task to entrust to the machines.

The Provo mega-band talks coming home— and frontman Tyler Glenn’s coming out. By Kolbie Stonehocker

t Neon Trees’ sold-out June 16 show at The Complex in downtown Salt Lake City, frontman Tyler Glenn drew every eye to him, and not just because of his multiple costumes—although the ensemble of yellow suit, yellow-rimmed shades and tank top printed with Andy Warhol’s famous banana definitely helped. A veritable magnetic force, when he wasn’t displaying his Michael Jackson-influenced dance moves, conducting the audience as if they were a church choir or flashing a brilliant smile as he sang into the mic, he was disregarding the barrier separating the audience from the stage—jumping down to shake hands and, at one point, crowd surfing. The show started with the crowd’s excitement level already at 10, and when the band launched into “Everybody Talks,” nearly every member of the audience began jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. The most emotionally resonant moment of the night was much quieter, however, with the stage’s numerous multicolored lights turned off, and Tyler standing at the front of the stage under a white light, his back to complete darkness. Then, to the enormous crowd, Glenn said, his voice shaking, “I’ve known since I was 3 years old. I love God. I’m 30 years old right now. I’m gay. I’m in Neon Trees. I’m so excited to be in Salt Lake City right now.” It seemed as personal for Glenn as if he’d come out to a group of friends, a moment during which he was affirming his identify with himself as much as he was with the crowd. It was Neon Trees’ first show in Utah since 2012, well before Glenn publicly came out in March of this year. In the band’s dressing room before the show, Glenn said that just after he came out, he had “a little anxiety” about how his news would be received by Utah crowds. “Not that I cared; it wasn’t going to change whether I decided to announce it or not, but … I had that curiosity like, ‘Will there be people who decide not to come to the show?’ ” he said. But Glenn had nothing to worry about. The applause that ensued was deafening, and continued as he wiped tears away. “I had so many people say, ‘What’s it going to be like when you tell that Utah crowd, those Mormons,

It’s not news that the Provo music scene is uniquely vibrant and connected to well-known area acts including Imagine Dragons, Fictionist, Brandon Flowers, The Used, Joshua James and, now, Neon Trees. And it’s impossible to tell the story of the origin of Neon Trees without also telling the story of Velour Live Music Gallery and its owner, Corey Fox. Formed nearly simultaneously, Velour and Neon Trees essentially grew up together, forging a longstanding relationship. Or i g i na l l y f r om Highland, Fox was in high school at a time when “there wasn’t really a local scene” to speak of, he says. He’d make trips north to Salt Lake City music venues such as the now-defunct Club DV8 and The Zephyr Club to see concerts, but never experienced a local show while in high school. But in the early ’90s, when Fox was in college, Utah County experienced a ska craze with homegrown bands

Setting the Scene

such as Swim Herschel Swim and Stretch Armstrong, which were influential not just in the ska community but in the larger music scene. “The scene exploded,” Fox says. He started managing a couple of smaller local bands and began to be involved in concert promotion. “I got caught up in what was truly a movement.” Fox’s work as a promoter as well as a manager of bands such as ’90s Salt Lake City rock act Clover eventually led him to managing music venues in the Provo area. From 1996 to 2005, he managed Wrapsody, Johnny B’s and the original location of Muse Music. But as Fox’s role in the scene grew, the surge of music coming out of Provo was receding. By the early 2000s, Fox says, “a lot of the bigger bands had moved on. That’s the one thing about Provo: There’s always been a ton of talent, but it’s a transient town. So people come and go as they graduate college or whatever.” In 2005, while managing other people’s venues, Fox started thinking about moving on, too, forming “bigger ideas of what I wanted to do,” he says. “I really couldn’t do it in the space with someone else that had vastly different ideas than me.” Fox found himself at a “crossroads,” he says, and considered moving to Salt Lake City or Los Angeles. But in the end, he realized, “If I was going to open my venue, I should probably do it in the town that I grew up in.” He had a vision for a venue that would help “bring things back to how they were in the ’90s,” he says. “I found the scene thrived depending on the quality of the venues there were.” Muse Music was slowly building a renaissance, but Fox says he thought there was a need for a venue with a larger capacity that would inspire bands to climb higher and reach further. “I felt that creating a legitimate venue and adding a structure that stressed work ethic and growth would inspire the creation of better bands and, ideally, change the musical culture,” he says.

Tyler Glenn grew up LDS in Murrieta, Calif., a town at the halfway point between Los Angeles and San Diego. Eventual Neon Trees guitarist Chris Allen lived next door; the two became close friends and began playing music together in high school. Until middle school, Glenn’s main musical inspiration was Michael Jackson. But in eighth grade, Glenn discovered the artist who would become his true idol: Morrissey, the influential vocalist of ’80s English rock band The Smiths. Through Morrissey’s love for the New York Dolls, Glenn became interested in them, too, as well as another early American punk band, The Dead Boys. “Those are my two favorite bands,” he says. “Looking back at it now, I think it was because there was a lot of blurred androgyny that I thought was really interesting. Of course, I didn’t know at the time what that meant in my life.” Once in high school, Glenn was invited to join his friends’ punk band, where he immediately found a much-needed cathartic outlet. “I had just gotten into some really old classic punk music, and so there was this really electric energy that I felt I could express in the music that I didn’t find in anything else,” he says.

“Electric Energy”

In the April 2013 Neon Trees episode of the locally made BYUtv documentarystyle show Audio-Files, Allen says that from the time they met, he knew Glenn’s musical abilities were extraordinary. “I gave him a tape of some songs I’d done on acoustic, and he took them home, and a couple hours later came back with four songs, completely done melodies, all the lyrics and everything, and I just knew he had something,” Allen says. “You just listen to him sing and you just want to pay attention. I knew something was there, and I knew we had to keep working together because we were both so passionate about it. I knew we would eventually make something happen.” By his senior year, Glenn knew music was “what I’m doing with my life.” But Glenn and Allen had to put their plans to start a band together on hold when they served separate LDS missions, with Allen heading to Guatemala and Glenn going to Omaha, Neb. When Glenn returned to California, Allen was preparing to move to Utah to attend school at the Utah College of Massage Therapy. After Allen moved, he convinced Glenn to come to Utah as well, so Glenn abandoned his unsuccessful attempts at playing music solo since returning from his mission and followed him to Provo.

what’s it going to be like when you tell them?’ ” he told the crowd. “I said, ‘They’re going to show up, they’re going to sell out the show, they’re going to sing those songs, it’s not going to matter. Because it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter, Salt Lake City.’ ” Glenn and the rest of Neon Trees received nothing but support from their home crowd, and that affection was reciprocated by the Provo-based band. “There’s something you gotta do when you’re in a band,” Glenn said onstage. “You gotta stay true to your roots, ladies and gentlemen. … I love Utah.” Neon Trees’ ongoing connection with Utah might be surprising to some, considering all four members are Utah transplants. But the Provo band is still intimately tied to its home scene and the artists in it. On their Facebook page under “hometown” and “current” location, it reads “PROVO UTAH,” in capital letters. “I know Provo’s not the coolest town in the world, but … I’m stoked that we’ve continued to claim Provo, Utah, as the place,” Glenn said in an earlier phone conversation with City Weekly. “We could’ve easily said we were from California or Vegas or Chicago because we have members from those towns. But that’s just not the real deal.”

FLYING HIGHER

Corey Fox, owner of Provo’s Velour Live Music Gallery, says a degree of the scene’s success and national recognition can be credited to the standard that Neon Trees have set. “It’s been a cool thing [to] see a band that started in this small town on this huge stage, and you know that if you work hard enough, you potentially could do that as well,” Fox says. “It’s definitely been a motivating factor for a lot of these bands to step up their game.” One of those bands has been the all-female pop-rock quartet The Blue Aces, who recently released their new EP, Gave You My Heart. Frontwoman Cristal Ramirez says that Glenn and Neon Trees have “done a lot of things that I think a lot us dream of doing.” And Neon Trees were willing to help The Blue Aces reach some of those dreams. In 2012, Neon Trees invited The Blue Aces to open for their show at The Depot, and since then, the two bands have formed a friendship and strong working relationship, performing together at local shows such as the Rooftop Concert Series in Provo. Glenn has also acted as a mentor to Ramirez in her solo work. He’s “super creative and he works really hard to do something that hasn’t been done before,” Ramirez says. Instead of passing the torch and moving on, Neon Trees are sharing their creative fire with their fellow musicians in the Utah music scene.

C Fox says Glenn was “a showman from the second [Neon Trees] started.” But he’d formed that charismatic persona long before he ever took the stage at Velour. Being raised in the LDS culture gave Glenn early exposure to music, something he has in common with many Provo musicians. “A lot of band members, active [Mormon] or non-active, grew up in homes where learning an instrument, singing or dancing were very prevalent,” Fox says. “Once they get into their teens, they take that talent and put their own spin on it.” Glenn didn’t learn an instrument as a child, but he did begin writing music as young as 4—songs that, even then, were “about freedom,” Glenn says—and frequently sang in church. “The minute they find out you’re a kid who knows how to sing, they always give you the song in Primary or in Sacrament Meeting,” he says. The public-speaking aspect of church, as well as his LDS mission, also helped him find his inner showman. “When I’m speaking onstage … it just comes from the heart,” Glenn says. “You do that when you’re in testimony meeting and you’re talking. And when I’m [speaking tjer

Glenn and Allen arrived in Provo and officially formed Neon Trees in late 2005, a few months before Velour opened Jan. 13, 2006—Friday the 13th, as it happens. In the Neon Trees Audio-Files episode—which Fox co-produced—Glenn says, “Of course, in my mind, I’m thinking, ‘This is like a big step in my adulthood. Provo gonna’s be where dreams come true.’ And I felt very Jack Kerouac about it, and I was really, really excited to take on this new adventure.” But when the band began regularly playing shows in Provo, they found that the venue selection was sparse. “There was this coffee shop called Steamers that was sort of more for punk bands, and then there was Muse Music, which was kind of the only other venue at the time,” Glenn says in an interview with City Weekly. “So when Velour came, it was like,

‘Oh, this is legit, this feels like an actual stage with lights and sound.’ That was our goal: ‘Let’s play at Velour.’ ” Fox had already heard enough buzz about Neon Trees that he made the decision to grant them a headlining show at Velour before hearing any of their music. On Feb. 11, 2006, Neon Trees made their first appearance at the venue—a month after its opening—with their original lineup of Glenn, Allen, Mike Liechty, Jason Gibbons and Nathan Evans. That night, Neon Trees performed with Pariah Poetic and a screamo band called The New Nervous, fronted by Book on Tape Worm songwriter/frontman Scott Shepard; Neon Trees and The New Nervous often shared stages during Neon Trees’ first year as a band. Fox, who tends to have a toughlove approach with bands, says his choice to give Neon Trees the gig “went against my total protocol. My whole thing is making people earn what they get [and] not just give bands opportunities necessarily. But yeah, I just trusted some of the people that I’d known that had seen them.” And Neon Trees—particularly Glenn’s captivating stage presence—delivered. “The thing that stood out for sure was Tyler,” Fox says. “Tyler has been a natural frontman [since] the second I saw him for the first time, so I expected big things out of them just from seeing Tyler at that first show.”

onstage], I kind of feel the same way I do when I’m up at the pulpit giving a talk.” When he started playing music as a teenager, he knew he’d found his calling in being onstage. “I didn’t know how to go about really making a band take off, but I knew that I wanted to be a performer and that was something I enjoyed— being in plays and singing at church and stuff like that,” he says. “I loved getting that out there.” And Glenn wanted to do more than sing in Sacrament Meeting. He soon “ended up secretly wanting to be in a band for the rest of my life,” he says. But instead of sharing his dreams with his parents, he told them he wanted to be a journalist. It was at least partially true, since he was interested in writing about music. Using fashion as a mode of expression gave Glenn the freedom to walk the line between being the quiet California kid who wouldn’t admit to dreaming of a career in music, and the f lashy, outgoing rock star he knew he could be. “I think anyone that ever got into rock & roll was all about pretending to be someone else,” he says in the Audio-Files episode. “That’s how I got into fashion since I was 12, just not wanting to be Tyler Glenn because I was anxious and nervous as him, but I was this different character when I put on something else.” And he continued exploring different characters even in the early days of Neon Trees. “It was me hiding behind the ambiguity of rock music,” Glenn said backstage at The Complex—wearing tight yellow pants, a buttondown shirt featuring a splashy comic-book print, and sparkly gold shoes with worn-out toes due to Glenn’s onstage move of standing on his tiptoes. “I think a lot of people probably assume that [Neon Trees] started off and they were just kind of a generic local band,” Fox says. “A lot of bands that start off, they don’t have any style; they don’t have any image. … But funny thing with Tyler, early on, I think on a local level, he was even more out there than he is currently. ... He’s always had elaborate costuming, costume changes during shows.” “I was always very sexually ambiguous onstage with what I chose to wear,” Glenn says. “I think I was more feminine in the early days, like wearing tights and women’s blouses and things.” But “it wasn’t shock value,” he says; he was simply influenced stylistically by glam rock, the New York Dolls and David Bowie. “That’s what felt right, that’s who I wanted to be onstage.”

The hard work and single-mindedness of the band paid off, and Neon Trees found success at a whirlwind pace: They caught the attention of Killers bassist Ronnie Vannucci Jr., and opened for that band on their 2008 North American tour. Not long after the tour, Neon Trees signed with Mercury Records. In 2009, Neon Trees won the City Weekly Music Awards, earning the title of Band of the Year. Their majorlabel debut, 2010’s Habits, received w idespread at tention, as their single “Animal”—an urgent pop-rock nu mber about sexual longing—reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and was covered on Glee. The success of Habits led to tours with big names including Duran Duran, My Chemical Romance, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and Panic! At the Disco. In 2012, the band released their sophomore album, Picture Show, and its successful lead single “Everybody Talks.” But a disastrous tour threatened to stop

After Neon Trees’ debut at Velour, they continued to pound the Provo pavement and grow their fanbase. Glenn and Allen soon split from the other three members of the original lineup, and found current Neon Trees bassist Branden Campbell, who’s originally from Las Vegas, and drummer Elaine Bradley—who was also playing in a second Provo-based band, Another Statistic, at the time—to, at first, just fill in. Bradley—who grew up in the Midwest and ended up staying in Utah after attending BYU—had had her sights set on Neon Trees for a while. “I snuck in and I stayed,” she says with a laugh. The addition of Bradley and her drum set helped the band’s sound evolve from synth-heavy, almost new-wave pop to the energetic rock that eventually launched them onto the national scene. Neon Trees continued to play shows at Velour, their unofficial home base. “Velour is the perfect place to practice songs on an audience because it was a sober audience, and you could actually build a fanbase and have sold-out shows,” Glenn says. Neon Trees eventually found themselves in friendly competition with other Provo bands making names for themselves, like Another Statistic, The New Nervous and Victim Effect. “We were all kind of wondering who was gonna be the first band to break nationally.

I think we just stuck it out the longest … a lot of those bands sort of broke up,” Glenn says. “We kind of just kept going, almost to an excruciating degree.” In 2007, in order to be closer to necessary connections, focus on their music and try their hand at playing shows outside of Utah, the band uprooted to Glenn and Allen’s hometown in Southern California— probably the exact opposite of the fastpaced intensity of Los Angeles, where musicians typically move to “make it.” Moving to Murrieta was “kind of a step down,” Bradley says. “But we had to do it to be close to the things that we wanted to be doing to really hone our craft and give us the opportunity to … not have a lot of distractions, because we were kind of in the middle of nowhere.” The band holed up in Glenn and Allen’s home neighborhood, with Glenn moving back in with his parents, and Allen, Bradley and Campbell renting Allen’s parents’ former home to immerse themselves in writing music. For “pretty much six days a week for like eight hours a day,” Bradley says, the agenda was “just write, write, write, and play any show we could.”

their upward trajectory. Neon Trees were an opening act on a tour with ’90sera California punk band The Offspring, an unfortunate mismatch. “Their audience just didn’t get us,” Glenn says. Facing hostile audiences at shows night after night affected the band as a whole, and caused emotional turmoil for Glenn especially. The tour “just kind of brought a lot of my demons that I had to figure out to a head,” he says. After the tour, Glenn canceled Neon Trees’ activities for the rest of the year. Facing creative burnout as well as his own personal struggles, Glenn entered therapy to get back on track. “I was sort of in a place in my life where I was really uninterested in writing new music,” he says. When Glenn began writing the music that would later become Neon Trees’ third fulllength album, Pop Psychology, he was still in therapy, a fact that’s reflected in the record’s title. Glenn says talking to a therapist “helped me talk about things maybe I didn’t always talk about,” he says. “It helped me be really frank and think, ‘Oh, I can accept these things about myself, I can accept this anxiety that I have sometimes.’ ” Glenn started writing music again in January 2013, and Neon Trees resumed touring—this time a successful set of dates supporting Maroon 5. Pop Psychology, released in April, chronicles

the banishment of Glenn’s personal darkness. “I think in my mind, I thought the record was going to be a dark, more introspective album, but [it was the] more energetic, celebratory stuff that I wanted to really explore,” Glenn says. He adds that he’s pleased with the optimistic feel of the album, which reflects his current state of being. “I’m not in a dark place anymore,” he says. The catchy, guitar-laced songs on Pop Psychology deal with themes found in a lot of Neon Trees’ work, such as being young, complicated relationships, love and social interaction, as well as the ways technology has changed how people interact with one another. And in their emotion-filled lyrics, something the songs all have in common is “a degree of honesty,” Glenn says.

“It’s OK to Be One Person”

Honesty has played a significant role in Glenn’s life recently. In March, Glenn came out as gay in a Rolling Stone feature titled “Neon Trees’ Tyler Glenn: Gay, Mormon and Finally Out.” Coming out, Glenn says, has allowed him to unite two parts of his life that he thought would only repel each other: his Mormon faith and his sexual orientation. Before coming out, he says, he got “really good at compartmentalizing, and I think you do to an extent as a closeted gay man. … You get really good at being different versions of yourself.” But now, Glenn—who still identifies as Mormon—has begun to mend the fractures in his life that he once felt so sharply. “I wasn’t the last person to find out I was gay; it wasn’t like this revelation that came to me recently,” he says. “But it was sort of the idea of you don’t have to lead the double life. It’s OK to be one person. And that created this lightness in my step, and being able to be the performer that I wanted to be my whole life.” And as he commanded the stage at The Complex, he seemed to glow from within with some unidentifiable luminance—or maybe the Utah audience was just seeing Tyler Glenn as he truly was for the first time. “I’m not telling you to be gay; I’m telling you to be yourself,” he told the crowd. “Come out as you. Come out as you. Be whoever you are, but come out. Because when you’re 30, half your life is already gone. You need to live it, you gotta do it, you gotta do it, so be yourself.” Glenn says coming out was more about accepting himself than just announcing his sexual orientation. “I had to accept a lot about myself that I didn’t always want to,” he said backstage. “I’ve always told people from the microphone, for years: ‘Be yourself.’ Now I can say it fully.” CW

When artists’ works are shown together, especially in small groups, something amazing happens: They seem to relate to one another, much like small groups of people, in a kind of conversation. There are different tones of conversation, from quiet and meditative to animated, and every once in a while, you have a discussion that’s so lively that it’s more like a collision—of opinions or emotions. Rio Gallery’s Collision exhibition—featuring paintings by Andrew Ballstaedt, Lisa Crosby and Jonathan Frioux—is just such an artistic conversation. In Ballstaedt’s work, the color palette is seemingly run amok, though fastened down to abstract compositional grids. The pieces slightly resemble architectural drawings, but the lines oscillate and breathe energetically. Crosby’s work is more atmospheric and massive, as colors dissolve and fade into each other, creating the effects of depth and texture. Frioux’s colors are mapped out, seemingly more deliberate, but stretch and strain at their boundaries, as though seeking a more expansive resolution (“Ocean State Circuit” is pictured). In an artistic trio, it’s tempting to triangulate or try to play some kind of aesthetic rock-paperscissors game with the artists. But the common theme of color, so dazzling when applied by their brushes, is like a small chamber music group charting out experimental sound, echoing against one another. The result comes together as resounding and eye-opening for the viewer. (Brian Staker) Collision: Ballstaedt, Crosby & Frioux @ Rio Gallery, 300 S.

For most folks who think about auto racing—if they think of it at all—it’s the kind where cars roar around an asphalt oval. It’s very fast, very skilled driving, but for those not tuned in to its rhythms, it can seem like one long left turn. And then there’s the radically different sensibility of off-road racing, where modified cars, carts and trucks hit the dirt courses, often zooming over hills and bottoming out in valleys. This weekend, the Lucas Oil Off-Road Series returns to the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele for the fifth year, with a full slate of racing on the offroad short course. Stars of the sport like Jeremy McGrath, Brian Deegan and Carl Renezeder fight for points with all the energy that 800 horsepower vehicles can provide. The event also provides more for visitors than the races themselves; it’s practically a festival experience. While some attendees come for a day in the grandstands, others tailgate or make a full weekend out of it with RV and camper parking. Drivers will be available for photos and autograph sessions, and you can even go for an adrenalized ride of your own, whether it’s on the Miller Kart Track or on the zip line. But leave the most breathtaking motion to the drivers, who know how to energize a crowd by taking a truck soaring into the air.

It’s rare for an investigative journalist to be able to turn shorter work for magazines and newspapers into best-selling books that are captivating reads. Eric Schlosser is just such a talent, with his work Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal; Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market; and Chew On This: Everything You Don’t Want to Know About Fast Food. Schlosser’s newest book, Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, The Damascus Accident and the Illusion of Safety, applies his trademark investigative diligence to America’s aging nuclear arsenal. He begins back in the middle of the Cold War, with a little-known tale about a near nuclear disaster a few miles north of Damascus, Ark. What was supposed to be a fairly routine maintenance procedure on a Titan II—the largest intercontinental ballistic missile in the United States arsenal—soon turned into a full-scale alert when a worker dropped a socket wrench and punctured the rocket’s aluminum shell. Schlosser turns this simple incident into a cautionary tale about how American citizens live in ignorance while being surrounded by weapons of mass destruction that, like all infrastructure, need routine maintenance that could go wrong at any moment. As if being surrounded by imminent doom weren’t enough, Schlosser’s next project—one that he’s been working on for over a decade—is taking a look at the dire state of the American penal system.

History suggests that as artists become more experienced, their work becomes less literal. Secure in their medium, artists feel free to venture into avenues that require less explanation, as their reputations mean they no longer have to “prove themselves.” It’s been a long time since John Erickson or Ed Bateman has had to prove anything, and their new show at Phillips Gallery—with new bodies of work—is a demonstration of how far each of them has come. Both artists work with the figure—in the case of Erickson, not only the human figure, but also the animal, including several very expressive figures of dogs. The human figure in “Spartacus of Sharpie” (pictured) has an acerbic realism, composed graphically of squared strokes, frenzied line and stark color. The result is a portrait of an aggressive artist with nothing to hide—including the rawness of his own flesh. Ed Bateman takes a journey with “Agnosia and Forgetting (Afterwords),” where the figure from a pinned photograph has vanished. Then there’s “Dancing on the Head of a Pin (After Bouguereau),” a semi-figural composition of safety pins with a blurred image of figures in the rear, possibly a painting by Bouguereau. And his “The Sound of One Pin (for Etienne-Jules Marey)” is a majestic upward or downward spiral, in the abstract, of strait pins, with no reference to the figure other than its relation to the human condition.

vents with the scope of the Utah Arts Festival can be thrilling—but they can also be intimidating. The weather, the size of the crowds and the multiple activities can scare away those who might truly love the festival, if only they could figure out where and how to take their first bite. Those who come simply to dive in and see what happens can always take that route. But for those who feel more comfortable with a plan, here are sample recommendations to help people with a range of different needs, interests and concerns get the most out of their UAF experience.

The Suburban Family Plan Parents with young children shouldn’t have to worry about when they’re going to melt down—or, given the possibility of hot summer temperatures, just plain melt. Take Trax. It’s a fun way to start for many kids, and drops you closer to the festival grounds than you’ll be able to find parking. Come early. Early-bird tickets on Thursday and Friday (entry between noon and 3 p.m.) are $6 instead of $10 for adults, with kids under 12 getting in free. In addition to the price benefit, you’ll get in ahead of the hottest late-afternoon hours. Enjoy the ArtYard. Hands-on activities provide the kids with something to take home for no added charge; other nearby activities, including the Mad Hatter and face painting, do require a small additional fee. Eat Early. If you’re going to eat on the premises, consider an early dinner. Waiting until 6 p.m. to get in a food-vendor line pretty much ensures a longer wait, and a harder time finding a table at which you can enjoy your meal. Hydration, sunscreen and shade. It’s good advice for every attendee, but even more so with the little ones in tow.

The Hands-On Plan Some come to the UAF just to watch; others are gonna want to do a little creating of their own. Follow That Line workshop (Main Library Special Collections Room), 1 p.m. Thursday: Artist Sue Martin (from Art at the Main) provides instruction on

using line to “start and enrich your paintings.” $15 fee. Urban A rts (east of The Leonardo), all day: Attendees can paint a portion of the “100 Artists 1 Image” community mural project, or work with puppets, music and green screen to create a digital collaborative puppetry experiment. Pixels to Paint (Makers area at The Leonardo), all day: Create an image in a digital environment that will be transferred to paper or canvas through a motordriven computer plotting system. Create Your Own Comic Book (Community Writing Center), 2 p.m. Friday: Work with local writers and artists on a quick project in graphic literature. Wasatch IronPen Literary Marathon (Community Writing Center), 6 p.m. Friday: Learn what you can create in just 24 hours in fiction, nonfiction or poetry categories—or if you’re particularly inspired, all three. ReCreate, RePurpose (Librar y fourth-floor conference room), 1 p.m. Sunday: Learn the art of finding new sculptural art in recycled materials with Beverly Mangham. $10 fee. Art from Plastic (Makers Workshops at The Leonardo), 4 p.m. Sunday: One of many hands-on workshops for crafty creators.

The Weekend Sampler Plan If you’re working during the week and want to squeeze in a little bit of everything on Saturday and Sunday, here’s a way to make it work. 12 p.m. Saturday Artist Marketplace: Wander through the booths of 163 talented artists presenting painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry, crafts and much more. 2-3 p.m. Saturday, various locations: Musical performers at The Leo stage, Garden Stage, Park Stage & other venues provide options for any musical taste. 4 p.m. Saturday, Team Poetry Slam

Kids at play in the Art Yard at the 2013 Utah Arts Festival

(Big Mouth Stage): Catch the rhythms of local poets. 5 p.m. Saturday, Student Chefs (near Garden Stage): Students from local culinary school programs will create original treats, and you get to sample them. 6:30 p.m. Saturday, DRUM (Festival Stage): An original ballet commission by Ballet West’s Christopher Ruud. 8 p.m. Saturday, Utah Short Film of the Year Competition (Library Auditorium): Cool off while watching winners of local competitions from throughout the year, plus entries from university and community film programs. 9 & 9:45 p.m. Saturday, Music/ Performance Headliners (Park & Festival Stages): See folk artist John McCutcheon and Josiel Perez’s AC Jazz Project. 2 p.m. Sunday, IronPen Winners (Big Mouth Stage): Listen to the work that was created by participants in just 24 hours. 6 p.m. Sunday, Wiseguys Standup Comedy (Big Mouth Stage): Laugh with some of Utah’s funniest local comedians. 8 p.m. Sunday, Strange Fruit (The Round): The Australian street performers dazzle audiences with a kind of circus “dance” on swaying 15-foot-tall poles. 9 & 9:45 p.m. Sunday, Music/ Performance Headliners (Park & Festival Stages): Wrap up your weekend with the funky didgeridoo-laced world sound of Harper & Midwest Kind, or the fiery theatrics of Samba Fogo.

A&E Rumor Has It Are we spending too much time fretting over movies before we can even see them? By Bryan Young comments@cityweekly.net @swankmotron

| CITY WEEKLY |

June 19, 2014 | 25

Bryan Young is the editor-in-chief of BigShinyRobot.com

Based on all the pre-release attention, everyone seemed to assume that the last X-Men picture was going to drown at the box office, but it made almost $100 million domestically in its opening weekend alone. (On the other hand, no one seemed to care about what was going on beforehand with the excellent Tom Cruise vehicle Edge of Tomorrow, and it made less than a third of that in its first weekend, so perhaps pre-release attention benefits the studio, if no one else.) But what good will it do to stress about something like Mar vel’s Ant-Man, which won’t be out for more than a year? Yes, it could absolutely be a troubling sign that director Edgar Wr ight abr uptly left the production of Ant-Man, to eventually be replaced by Peyton Reed. But until we see the final movie, it’s just a lot of anxiety and worry; needless heartburn over something that may still very well turn out to be awesome. That same level of dread is spent worrying about everything from how J.J. Abrams is going to handle the Star War s movies to what comic book Grant Morrison might “screw up” next. But what’s the point? Why do we care so much about the pre-release rumors and leaked details? Wouldn’t we enjoy stories more if we were surprised by them? And wouldn’t we have more free time if we didn’t spend so much time watching this sausage get made? Perhaps we’re just addicted to the stress. And since the Internet gives us an easy outlet to vent our frustration, we do it too easily, then base our decisions around that culture of anxiety and fear. Or maybe, just maybe, Otto von Bismarck was wrong, and we geeks all just love a good sausage party. CW

| cityweekly.net |

tto von Bismarck once said “Laws are like sausages; it is better not to see them being made.” It’s doubtful that the 19thcentury Prussian statesman could have predicted that his delicious nugget of wisdom would be applied to superhero and science-fiction films as well as to laws, but there you have it. It’s my opinion that we, all of us, me included—me especially—spend too much time watching the sausage being made when it comes to our favorite things. And it shades our expectations in ways that are unfair to the works of art we claim to love. How many times have you gone into a movie with pre-established notions of what it was going to be, and then left disappointed with what it wasn’t, rather than enjoying it for what it was? We search and scour the Internet for every spare scrap of news about movies, comics and television shows we like. My favored arena is Star Wars, but I dabble in everything. And the more I dabble, I realize, the more it might very well be to my detriment. What good does it do me to clamor for every tiny announcement and released image during the making of a movie? In many cases—probably even most cases—the expectations created by these media leaks, legitimate and otherwise, are false. Take, for instance, the horrendous marketing campaign for the most recent two X-Men films, First Class and Days of Future Past. When the first poorly Photoshopped images of characters from First Class in costume were released, the Internet melted down. Whoever leaked the photos made a mistake, and many people who might have enjoyed the topnotch First Class didn’t even bother going to see it. The same thing happened with Quicksilver in Days of Future Past, though his sequences in the film were universally hailed as the best in the movie.

THURSDAY 6.19 Must Come Down

The 2012 indie film Must Come Down has already been making a splash in the festival circuit as an official selection at the Cinequest, Newport Beach, Phoenix and Mineapolis St. Paul Film festivals. It’s writer and director, Kenny Riches, had a hand in the Visual Art Institute at the former Garfield School, and Must Come Down, about the quarter life crisis of two 20-somethings (played by Ashley Burch and the late David Fetzer, pictured right), was filmed in Salt Lake City, so it should resonate especially well with locals of that demographic. Riches’ assertive, self-assured aesthetic sensibility is well-known to locals from his non-cinematic artworks, and carries over into his cinematic style. He has a remarkably strong instinct for visual storytelling. The screening will be followed by a question & answer session with the cast and crew.

Not the creepy one; more like the friendly neighbor who goes out of his way for the smallest favor and always has a smile on his face while doing it. Now that he calls New York City home, it’s hard not to equate him with the small-town character played by Jack McBrayer on 30 Rock. Still, for Hamilton, playing it clean hasn’t slowed him down in the often-bawdy world of comedy; Rolling Stone named him one of Five Comics to Watch. The fact that he’s been picked to open for the likes of Drew Carey pays testament to him being on the rise. And although he now plays around the country to a growing fanbase of his own, he still regularly makes the rounds out here in the west, where he can make people laugh in St. George and Boise as well as Las Vegas.

Baseball has a long tradition of having everybody sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” together during the seventh-inning stretch. It doesn’t feel like you really went to the game unless you raise your hand and start putting your fingers out as you count, “For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out!” Singing with the crowd at a baseball game is about as American as it gets. When it comes to getting everybody to sing together, who better to get the crowd going than the dueling pianos players from the Tavernacle (201 E. 300 South, Salt Lake City, 801-519-8900, Tavernacle.com) piano bar? Name a song, they’ll start pounding out the chords, and pretty soon, everyone is screaming along on the chorus. The Tavernacle’s ivory-ticklers will be on hand for the Bees game Saturday—against a team from Nashville named the “Sounds,” no less—to

take requests all night long. Everybody will also get to sing along during a post-game concert that will be synchronized with a fireworks show. Get your arm and your vocal cords warmed up, and take somebody out to the ball game.

Cabernet Sauvignon or the 1993 Silver Oak vintage for $500. Those last two wines would be gangbusters with wild-mushroom and crĂ¨mefraĂŽche lamb osso buco, falling off the bone and served on a bed of thick pappardelle pasta ($22). Ditto the 12-ounce rib eye ($39), with a miso-garlic rub, spring veggies and lemon-scented fingerling potatoes. The fettuccine with a generous portion of fresh clams ($20) is one of my favorite Bistro 222 dishes, although not for the timid, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spiked with fiery chili flakes. As for the pasta â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carbonaraâ&#x20AC;? ($17), I have mixed feelings. Anyone who reads this column frequently knows that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a bit militant about Carbonara. Frankly, I found the Carbonara at Bistro 222 just plain odd. I was OK with the creamy sauce and smoky pancetta flavors, and even the fresh peas and mushrooms. And, the raw egg yolk in the middle of the al dente cavatelli pasta was a beautiful thing. But, I have to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never encountered micro-greens or cherrytomato halves in my Carbonara before. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not traditional, although I will give the kitchen credit for listing the dish on the menu as â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring Carbonara.â&#x20AC;? Now, having said that, I will also confess that this take on Carbonara was actually very tasty; I just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carbonara.â&#x20AC;? I should note that Bistro 222 lunch prices are drastically lower than dinner: $14 for the lamb osso buco vs. $22 at dinner; $12 for the fettuccine with clams vs. $20, and so on. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a budget, try lunch first. CW

apology. To be fair, we dined early and were the first dinner customers, so the menus hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been switched out at the host stand. I like that executive chef James Buonforte isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tackling too much. The dinner menu is manageable: a trio of pastas, a salad quartet, a quintet of appetizers and a sextet of entrees, plus a few pizzas and sides. The fried calamari ($10) is a good place to start. Adults and kids alike at our table loved the lightly battered, almost tempura-like squid rings and tentacles, deep-fried to a light golden crunch, tossed with pickled onion slices and arugula, and served with housemade herb aioli. For f lavors a bit more exotic, try the Moroccan lamb meatballs ($10) with pickled fennel and an olive oil and yogurt emulsion. Kids at Bistro 222 will likely veer toward the Napoli-style wood-oven pizzas. My son Hank is a Margherita pizza aficionado, and fully approved of Bistro 222â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Margherita ($12). The beautiful crispy crust, quality tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves met my approval as well. Jeremyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;normally a pepperoni-pizza guyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;opted for a tomato-sauce-free pizza with housemade ricotta, fresh mozzarella, smoked Gouda, thin-sliced Creminelli prosciutto and fresh arugula. It, too, was outstanding. But if you want to really go big, I suggest The Hangover ($15). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that same, high-quality, wood-fired crust topped with ricotta, mozzarella, smoked Gouda, Creminelli pancetta andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kickerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a roasted egg on top. Bistro 222 sports a well-selected wine list of about 120 bottles, with a dozen or so available by the glass. I was particularly impressed with how much our youngish server knew about the wines on the list. The prices are fair, and we chose a $25 bottle of Alamos Torrontes from Argentina to accompany dinner. Should you decide to splurge, however, you could spring for a $600 bottle of 1998 Jordan

or those of us ancient enough to remember early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s TV shows, the number 222 triggers certain memories. For me, it rekindles the adolescent lust I had for Karen Valentine, the actress who played idealistic English teacher Alice Johnson on ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Room 222. The comedy-drama, set in Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fictional Walt Whitman High School, had an African-American star (Lloyd Haynes) and dealt with the prevailing issues of the day, such as the Vietnam War, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberation, race relations and Watergate. And so, whenever I walk by Salt Lake Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bistro 222, I fondly recall Valentine and others actors that I first saw on that show: Cindy Williams, Bruno Kirby, Ed Begley Jr., Dabney Coleman and others. Like Room 222, the name of Bistro 222 is a functional one: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located at 222 S. Main, making it easy to find without using GPS. And like Room 222, Bistro 222 is â&#x20AC;&#x153;safely modernâ&#x20AC;? in its own way. Just as the TV show didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually inspire revolution in the streets, no culinary walls are being torn down at Bistro 222â&#x20AC;&#x201D;not that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything wrong with that. Too much experimental cuisine is a disaster. More often than not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer a well-made pizza to duck breast in chocolate-lavender sauce. (Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually seen that on a restaurant menu.) A while back, I reviewed Boulevard Bistro (1414 S. Foothill Drive, 801-953-1270, BoulevardBistroFoothill.com), an eatery I liked very much. Well, the same owners bring us Bistro 222, as well as the newly opened Salt Flats Grill & Tap Room (formerly Sonny Bryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smokehouse) next door. Like its sister restaurants Boulevard Bistro and Toscano Italian Bistro in Sandy, Bistro 222 is quite fetching. All of the Equiwest Hospitality Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurants are contemporary, but also warm and inviting, and Bistro 222 has a modern, urban vibe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? downtown Salt Lake City. The restaurant is also LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design)-certified, meaning it has passed a green-building program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. Our first visit started out a bit rocky: I was confused by the menus until I realized weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been given lunch menus at dinner. Our friendly and efficient server, Tony, quickly remedied the situation with an

SECOND HELP NG Pupusa Paradise By Jeffrey David comments@cityweekly.net

Cafe Guanaco’s specia lt y is pupusas—a traditional Salvadorian dish made of a thick, handmade corn tortilla filled with a mixture of beans, meat and cheese—and you will find them here in abundance. At $2.15 each, you may think that you will need a few pupusas—until you take your first bite. The dense tortilla is loaded with your chosen ingredients ( pork, chicken, shrimp, steak and zucchini are available as the main filling ); top it with a spicy slaw and some hot sauce, and you’ll be full. One is a meal; two is a feast. Appetizers, entrees and soups are also available. For desert, the fried plantains are soft, sweet, caramelized bites of deliciousness. Fernando’s Cafe Guanaco may be the textbook example of hole-in-thewall. There are four tables inside and three outside, with mismatched chairs. The décor doesn’t matter, as all the attention has been given to making amazing food and a great experience for the customer. CW

Quote of the week: Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart. —Erma Bombeck

The seventh-annual Park City Area Restaurant Association’s Savor the Summit (SavorTheSummit.com) takes place Saturday, June 21, beginning at 6 p.m. For me, this is Park City’s most fun food fest, featuring a dinner table that stretches the length of Main Street, live bands and cuisine from approximately 25 participating restaurants, ranging from the Middle Eastern fare of Reef’s Restaurant and Flying Sumo’s sushi to Italian cooking from Cafe Terigo and the Thai food of Bangkok Thai on Main. Each establishment along Savor the Summit’s Grande Table offers its own choice of dinner and beverages, with prices ranging from $40 to $150 per person. Reservations for seats at the Grande Table must be made with the individual participating restaurants. However, the live music (provided by Mountain Town Music) and the Spirit Garden (where patrons can enjoy a brew, spirits, vino and more) are open to the general public with no admission fee.

40 Years of Caymus Is 2012 the best Caymus vintage ever? By Ted Scheffler comments@cityweekly.net @critic1

he 2012 vintage of Caymus Napa Va lley Cabernet Sauv ig non— released earlier this month— marks the 40th Anniversary of Caymus Vineyards, the cornerstone of the Wagner family portfolio of wines, which also includes Belle Glos, Conundrum, Emmolo and Mer Soleil. Founded by Charlie and Lorna Wagner, along with their renowned winemaker son Chuck, Caymus produced its first vintage in 1972—a mere 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Today’s production of Caymus Cabernet is approximately 65,000 cases. As renowned wine expert Robert Parker said of Caymus, “Not many wineries any where in the world can match the Wagner family’s consistent record of success.”

Caymus Vineyards is about nothing if not focus. Where some of its Napa Valley neighbors produce every thing from Marsanne and Sauvignon Blanc to Petite Syrah and Rosé, the laser-like focus at Caymus is all about Cabernet Sauvignon. Perhaps that’s why Caymus is the only winery to have ever garnered Wine Spectator’s most sought-after award twice. Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon ($119) was given the Wine of the Year award two times. Earlier this month, the Wagner Family of Wines’ Mike Gioia was in town to help celebrate Caymus’ 40th anniversary. He brought the 2012 Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($54.99) with him, as well as other Wagner wines. I was luck y enough to be able to attend two events with Gioia: a terrific tasting at Pallet (237 S. 400 West, 801-9354431, EatPallet.com), and a wine dinner at Fresco Italian Cafe (1513 S. 1500 East, 801-486-1300, FrescoItalianCafe.com). At Pallet, we were first treated to 2012 Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc ($15.26), an elegant and refined wine with very restrained oak, bright acidity and pear aromas with grapefruit and lime f lavors. It’s made by the youngest of the Wagner clan, Chuck’s daughter Jenny Wagner, who is a talented 26 years old. Emmolo is the name of Jenny’s maternal Italian family,

DRINK and the winery was founded by Cheryl Emmolo, her mother, in 1994. The Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc’s m i nera l it y a nd acid it y worked wonder fully w ith Pallet’s deliciously light and artful plate of beets with chevre, frisee, Marcona almonds and crispy prosciutto. Jenny Wagner’s Emmolo Napa Valley Merlot 2011 ($54.99) is a knockout. Anyone who thinks they don’t like Merlot should try this one, especially with gnocchi. At Pallet, I got to sip the Emmolo Merlot with delectable gnocchi in brown butter; at Fresco, it was paired with potato gnocchi bathed in a silk y Lagrein cheese sauce with spring onions and Chioggia beets. The Merlot is beautifully structured, with fine tannins, rich, ripe and concentrated—one of the best examples of Merlot I’ve ever tasted. If you’re tired of mediocre Merlot, give this magnificent one a try. Pallet’s oh-so-tender and tasty beef cheeks accompanied a Belle Glos Pinot Noir, Clark & Telephone 2013 ($34.99). The Clark & Telephone vineyard gets its name from its location—situated near

| CITY WEEKLY |

32 | June 19, 2014

Clark Avenue and Telephone Road in the Santa Maria Valley. The wine is loaded with raspberry, blackberry and plums on the nose and palate, with a toasty oak finish and hints of cinnamon. The 40th Anniversary Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet 2012 deserves to be sipped with incomparable cuisine, and Fresco’s Logen Crew knocked it out of the park with his Pecorino-crusted lamb and Apician-spiced white lentil polpette, a legume-based take on the Italian meatball. Winemaker Chuck Wagner has said that the 2012 Cabernet is the best wine he’s ever made. Well, I haven’t had the fortune of tasting 40 years worth of Caymus Cabernet, but I can definitely say that you don’t want to miss this one. Happy anniversary to the Wagners and their wine family!

This charming restaurant looks tiny, but inside, it’s surprisingly roomy, and old wood floors, exposed brick walls and dark tables and chairs lend a warm ambiance. There are a couple of must-try sharable appetizers on the menu, like the remarkable fresh spring rolls—a taste of spring itself. And although I normally wouldn’t go anywhere near coconut fried shrimp, Skewered Thai’s version, with coconut batter, is another matter entirely. The pad thai was scrumptious, and even better than that—if that’s possible—was a wickedgood noodle dish called pad kee mao (drunken noodle), a platter of wide, pan-fried rice noodles and a distinctively spicy mélange of tender shrimp, red bell pepper, mushrooms, broccoli, carrot, tomato, fresh chili, egg, onion and fragrant Thai basil. I’ll need to make room on my list of favorite Thai restaurants—right at the top or very close to it—for Skewered Thai.

CityWe�kly

| cityweekly.net |

Owner Ehsan Suhail makes his shawarma—rotisseriegrilled meat, often a combination of beef and lamb, cooked on a rotating vertical spit—from scratch, and the chicken shawarma in particular is tender and rich-tasting, juicy and served with housemade garlic-lemon sauce (toum), tomato, lettuce and pickle slices. But my favorite entree-type dish is the lamb koozi, a house specialty. Chunks of lamb are braised until almost falling-off-the-bone tender and served on nicely flavored basmati rice seasoned with raisins, toasted almonds and onions. Reviewed May 29. 725 E. 3300 South, Salt Lake City, 801-803-9434, SLCShawarmaKing.com You’d be nuts not to try Spitz’s street-cart döner, which is available as a sandwich with foccacia or as a lavash wrap, with a choice of beef and lamb, chicken, falafel, mixed meats or veggies. The beef and lamb shawarma-style mixture is outstanding: perfectly spiced and generously portioned. Ditto the falafel, which is the best falafel I’ve had in Utah. I suggest that when you visit, you order from the excellent selection of craft cocktails, wine or beer right off the bat, because you may be there a while. But the service, though slow, is very friendly, and the vibe is funky and fun, with eclectic music. Reviewed May 29. 35 E. 300 South, Salt Lake City, 801-364-0286, SpitzSLC.com

Now that you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, along with brunch on Saturday and Sunday, Caffe Niche seems to be hitting its stride. A premium is put on the use of local products here; there’s not much that isn’t from Utah or its neighboring states of Idaho and Wyoming. The restaurant is unique and inviting, with comfy, clean décor and uncluttered food to match, like the organic roast half-chicken, which is a lesson in roasting perfection: perfectly cooked, with crispy skin and tender, juicy meat marinated in herb, garlic and lemon gremolata, served with a delicious warm salad of red quinoa and arugula.

For lunch, you can choose from tasty sandwiches like the steak sandwich, French dip, pastrami & cheese and the awesome sourdough melt.

Playing to the Balcony

Jersey Boys can’t translate a stage musical to the screen.

Power Trio By Scott Renshaw scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

By Scott Renshaw scottr@cityweekly.net @scottrenshaw

John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Vincent Piazza and Michael Lomenda in Jersey Boys. strutting; the flaming gay mannerisms of the band’s producer, Bob Crewe (Mike Doyle)— that might work on a stage, but start to feel shrill and overwrought when blown up with cinematic intimacy. Young won a Tony Award for originating Valli on Broadway, yet while he has a handle on the sense of loyalty that complicates his relationship with the volatile, fiscally irresponsible Tommy, he still gets stuck in scenes of domestic melodrama with Frankie’s wife, Mary (Renée Marino, who also played her role on stage), that degenerate into awkward shouting matches. There’s an ironic moment in Jersey Boys when Frankie gets advice before a performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, explaining how he should perform for the camera rather than for the balcony. Eastwood never seems to give his own actors that same advice. He clearly loves the idea of filming a live performance of Jersey Boys for a movie-theater audience—but by the time his cast takes a bow, it feels as though it wasn’t such a great idea. CW

HH.5 John Lloyd Young Vincent Piazza Erich Bergen Rated R

The stage version of Jersey Boys— with a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, who also adapted the screenplay—employed a device in which each member of the group narrated their version of the story in turn. That notion is retained here, but only halfway: The characters sporadically break the fourth wall and address the audience, but not in any cleanly organized manner. And as a result, the movie loses the key notion that each member of the group recalls their rise and fall in his own way, leaving only a standard musical biopic complete with the kind of “everyone instantly realizes this new sound is amazing” scene that was so brilliantly mocked in Walk Hard. Even the way the music itself is handled becomes a frustration. While plenty of terrific Four Seasons hits appear throughout the film—“Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” etc.—the context almost always requires the story to stop dead to present an actual performance by the group. While that might feel more natural than other “jukebox musicals” like Mamma Mia! which have the characters burst into song in the middle of their lives, it changes the energy of the storytelling, and draws attention to stretches of the narrative when music seems to disappear entirely. Most problematic, however, is the nature of the performances, which feel as though they’re being pitched at a live theater audience. The story overflows with broad characterizations—Tommy’s “fuggedaboudit”

here are complicated ways to analyze Lukas Moodysson’s We Are the Best!, and then there is this: It’s hard to imagine another movie this year that will make me smile as hard as this movie did pretty much from start to finish. Based on a semi-autobiographical graphic novel series by Moodysson’s wife, this almost indescribably charming tale takes us to 1982 Stockholm, where middleschool pals Bobo (Mira Barkhammar) and Klara (Mira Grosin) find themselves somewhat outcast as devotees of punk rock in a world turned to New Wave. Then, at the local youth center, they find a bass and drum available for use in a rehearsal space. And despite having no musical experience at all, they decide to start a band, eventually accompanied by shy, Christian classmate Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne). What follows is largely episodic, following the girls on misadventures both specific to their musical interests—like writing their first song based on their mutual loathing of gym class, “Hate the Sport”—and recognizable to those who grew up anywhere and anywhen. When Bobo and Klara start to fight over having a crush on the same boy, it resonates with all the strains on female friendships caused by evolving adolescent relationships, and the status dynamics of the friend who’s the follower pushing back against the friend who’s the leader. But even more wonderfully, Best! captures its young protagonists as girls stepping back and forth across the line of being young women, with all the tangled, often contradictory accompanying emotions. They may be experimenting with boys and dropping F-bombs, but they’ll still cry when they get a cut on their hand, or make a snap decision to spend the money they’d panhandled to buy an electric guitar on ice cream instead. The beautifully authentic performances by the three bandmates capture that brief life moment when nearly everything can feel like a scary, joyous act of rebellion. CW

ver the opening credits of director Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys, there’s something unusual for a modern movie: an overture. And over the closing credits, there’s something unusual again: the entire cast joining together, dancing in what amounts to a curtain call. If you watched only the first minute and last minute of Eastwood’s Jersey Boys, you might think that this guy has a pretty solid handle on the risky proposition of turning a Broadway musical into a movie. In recent years, as audiences have generally resisted movie musicals that aren’t animated, we’ve seen how hard it is to translate to the screen what makes a musical work on stage. And Eastwood—a director who generally displays a minimalist visual sensibility—might seem like exactly the wrong guy for the grand theatricality of a story that began as singing and dancing in front of a live audience. The frustrating thing is that he seems to want to give the audience for his Jersey Boys the experience of watching a stage musical in a movie theater, without really grasping what to keep and what to change. Jersey Boys tells the story of the Four Seasons, the legendary pop music group that begins with Newark, N.J., childhood friends Frankie Castelluccio (John Lloyd Young) and Tommy DeVito (Vincent Piazza) performing club gigs together with bassist Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda) whenever they’re not involved in small-time crimes. As they get more serious about their music—including Frankie changing his last name to Valli—they hook up with songwriter Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen) and start recording hits that take them to the top of the charts, while the inevitable tensions work at the group from within. And along the way, we get great little bits of trivia, like the role eventual Oscar-winning actor Joe Pesci plays in the group’s formation.

CINEMA CLIPS NEW THIS WEEK Information is correct at press time. Film release schedules are subject to change. The Double HHH.5 Typically, I’d say that evoking Brazil is not a smart idea for any movie. In this case, I’d be dead wrong. Richard Ayoade is clearly channeling Terry Gilliam in the look of his surreal world—retro technology, claustrophobic cubicles and plenty of ducts—the emphasis on bureaucracy and even a protagonist obsessed with a seemingly unobtainable girl (Mia Wasikowska). But the freaky set-up—milquetoast office drone Simon James (Jesse Eisenberg) gets a new co-worker named James Simon who looks exactly like him and is the confident, charismatic winner he’s never been— allows Ayoade to make the familiar milieu distinctly his own. The movie is little more than a series of “bits”—awkward, humiliating situations like Simon having to pay the increased fee for his mother’s nursing home to what becomes a grasping, disembodied hand—but they’re generally darkly hilarious bits, perfectly framed by Ayoade in shots that provide slick visual punch lines. Everything takes a darker, vaguely supernatural tone approaching the climax, in a way that feels more grasping-for-profundity that the demented streamof-consciousness material has earned. It’s fine enough as series of blackout sketches in its Brazil-ian fantasia. Opens June 20 at Tower Theatre. (R)—Scott Renshaw Jersey Boys HH.5 See review p. 37. Opens June 20 at theaters valleywide.

The Rover HH.5 Co-writer/director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom) gives Of Mice and Men an even bleaker, post-apocalyptic spin in a grim drama that casts Guy Pearce as an un-named man living in Australia 10 years after an event identified only as “The Collapse.” When his car is stolen by a group of criminals—and Pearce’s character seems to have an unhealthy attachment to that car—he kidnaps Ray (Robert Pattinson), the wounded brother of the criminals’ leader (Scoot McNairy), to guide him to where they are. The sun-blasted nihilism of the tale gets its only softening in the interaction between our single-minded protagonist and his dim-witted passenger, and Pattinson has some eye-opening moments as Ray, like trying to impress his captor with the details of how he effected a dangerous rescue. But even as the story draws to a conclusion explaining some of the back-story for Pearce’s character, Michôd assumes too much about some kind of instantaneous connection developing between “the rover” and Ray. For a story built entirely on a man caring for anything again after he’s given up hope, it’s never clear how much he cares, or why. Opens June 20 at Broadway Centre Cinemas. (R)—SR SuperMensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon HHH Mike Myers makes his directing debut with a documentary that’s obvious hero worship, yet seems to be about a guy who actually deserves it: the titular now-retired celebrity agent, whose clients included Alice Cooper, Blondie, Teddy Pendergrass and many more, and was also one of the visionary driving forces behind celebrity chefs and the Food Network. The movie spends plenty of time on Gordon’s incredible intuition for figuring out how to make his clients famous, spiced with great war stories from a gifted raconteur. Yet this is

also something of a celebration of Gordon’s basic decency and compassion—like becoming surrogate father to the orphaned grandchildren of an ex-girlfriend—and how he sought in his professional life the close family relationships he otherwise never had. Myers tries to liven up the usual collection of archival photos and stock footage with goofy re-creations, but from a filmmaking standpoint there’s not much going on here. It’s just a satisfying celebration of a man who made it big in an industry where everyone assumes you have to be an asshole, yet decided for himself that it didn’t have to be true. Opens June 20 at Broadway Centre Cinemas.

CURRENT RELEASES

22 Jump Street HHH.5 Cleverer, wittier and snarkier than 21 Jump Street, this is nonstop self-deprecation of its “sequel to a reboot” status, offering well-deserved smacks to about 817 Hollywood things that desperately deserve it: TV shows-turned-movies, sequelitis, dumb action heroes, meet-cutes, bromances, fist fights, frat comedies, 30-something actors playing teenagers, and other nonsense. Cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) have “graduated” to going undercover at a college—they’re investigating a drugs case that is “just like last time”—and though this is as big, loud, actiony and goofy as an action-comedy sequel can be, it’s (mostly) not stupid, sexist or homophobic along the way. And it’s surprisingly just plain nice. 22 Jump Street punches up, at the excesses and inanities of Hollywood, and not down at the usual easy, powerless targets—and even then, it’s never cruel about it. (R)—MaryAnn Johanson

Chef HHH Jon Favreau writes, directs and stars as Carl Casper, a oncepromising chef who has grown complacent, cooking good but unimaginative dishes until a scathing review from an influential critic inspires him to try something new: He opens a food truck, then drives across the country with his adoring 10-year-old son (Emjay Anthony) and his sous chef (John Leguizamo) to hone his craft. Favreau and Leguizamo have a natural rapport, and the father-son bonding is sweet without being sappy. While it’s frequently hilarious, more attention is lavished on how to make a proper Cuban sandwich, for example, than on several of the film’s characters or on the story, which comes from a box rather than from scratch. Still, it’s a return to Favreau as sardonic

too much. One hugely miscalculated sequence at Amsterdam’s Anne Frank house leaves a sour taste, but in general it’s terrific as the kind of movie it’s trying to be: sharply observed and nakedly emotional. (PG-13)—SR Godzilla HHH Gareth Edwards serves up a giant lizard movie with style, as U.S. Navy Lt. Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who has a tragic family history involving a mysterious earthquake in Japan, encounters the King of Monsters as he takes on giant insect creatures. The material involving human characters is somewhat perfunctory get-back-to-your-loved-ones stuff, but Edwards chooses to keep his movie interesting by making it genuinely fascinating to watch, full of genuinely striking images and a willingness to tease viewers on the way to the big finale. At last, of course, we do get to the battle of the behemoths, and there’s both a nostalgic crowd-pleasing quality and an almost mythical approach to these creatures and their titanic showdowns. Edwards commits to that idea even when it means not giving audiences exactly what they might expect from their contemporary blockbusters. (PG-13)—SR

The Fault in Our Stars HHH.5 Allow me to announce at the outset that I had a few major problems with John Green’s mega-successful novel—and this film adaptation improves on nearly all of them. It sticks to the satisfying love story between teen cancer survivors Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus (Ansel Elgort), but where Green often seemed too infatuated with quirky, quippy dialogue, director Josh Boone and his screenwriting team focus on the chemistry between the actors. And there’s a charming connection between Woodley and Elgort, one that homes in on the key difference between them: Augustus’ fear that he won’t be remembered, and Hazel’s fear that she’ll be remembered

How to Train Your Dragon 2 HHH.5 In the follow-up to the 2010 original, young Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and his seaside village have settled into a new normal where dragons are trusted companions—until a warlord (Djimon Hounsou) arrives, with designs on controlling all dragons. Hiccup also discovers that his mother (Cate Blanchett)—whom he’s always believed to be dead—is still alive, and the film finds surprisingly emotional material in this family reunion. But even more satisfying—along with the thrilling, swooping visuals—is the idea that there are different ways to be a leader, and that some choices, even heroic ones, have permanent, not always happy consequences.

Edge of Tomorrow HHH.5 Director Doug Liman may be contemporary cinema’s foremost chronicler of relationships under pressure, though nothing in the basic premise—about soldier William Cage (Tom Cruise) caught in a repeating time loop after he’s killed in a battle with invading aliens—suggests it addresses interpersonal dynamics. Liman finds inventive, often hilarious ways to tell that story, charging through its “find and kill the leader” plot with efficiency and a real sense of visual style. But there’s also the story of Cage’s interaction with another soldier (Emily Blunt) who has been through a similar experience; the repeated days provide a chance to learn from mistakes not just on the battlefield, but in life. The simple, smart pleasures here include a look at how many screwups it can take to learn there may be things—and people— beyond yourself that are worth fighting for. (PG-13)—SR

Perhaps there’s no way to avoid some of the more formulaic action elements of family blockbusters, yet it’s always a pleasant surprise when an institution like DreamWorks Animation decides that playing it safe isn’t the only option. (PG)—SR A Million Ways to Die in the West HH Family Guy mastermind Seth MacFarlane’s follows up Ted, his 2012 hit about a potty-mouthed Teddy bear, and like that film, the new one—an overlong farce starring MacFarlane as a wise-cracking Old West coward trying to prepare for a shootout with a nasty gunslinger—starts promisingly but falls prey to MacFarlane’s undisciplined, non sequitur style of writing. It has about as many laughs as a typical episode of Family Guy—which sounds okay, until you realize those laughs are spread out over 117 minutes instead of 22. The shock value of Old West characters using modern profanity fades quickly; when everything is filthy, nothing is filthy. Amusing turns by Charlize Theron and Neil Patrick Harris can’t save this indulgent misfire from MacFarlane’s inept acting, writing and direction. (R)—EDS Night Moves HHH Here’s a rare occasion when a taciturn Kelly Reichardt/Jonathan Raymond character might have needed to communicate a little

bit more. The story follows three environmental activists—Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), Dena (Dakota Fanning) and Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard)—plotting together to blow up a dam, with unexpected consequences. As a stripped-down suspense thriller, Night Moves is often simply terrific, full of tense moments that put viewers in the uneasy position of wondering whether or not we hope they succeed. But while there’s solid material here exploring how far people are willing to take their convictions and the possible subsequent second thoughts, Eisenberg’s performance is too opaque, limiting the film to effectiveness on a purely procedural level. Whatever Night Moves might want to say about guilt or political zeal remains locked away behind Eisenberg’s eyes. (R)—SR Words and Pictures HH He’s Jack Marcus (Clive Owen), a once-promising writer now emotionally crippled by his drinking problem into an inability to create; she’s Dina Delsanto (Juliette Binoche), a respected painter now physically crippled by rheumatoid arthritis into an inability to create. Can you just taste the schematic irony? Director Fred Schepisi plunks them down as fellow teachers at a Maine private school, who start a squabble-y, quip-y, meetcute-y war over the relative merits of literature and visual art, but there’s a fundamentally misguided tone to the whole enterprise, as Schepisi attempts to maintain a frothy, rat-a-tat Tracy-andHepburn vibe while brushing off chronic illness and alcoholism as mere impediments to a pairing that’s as forced as the big guffaw they share in the final moments. The film sets up a war

between banter and melodrama that nobody involved here can win. (PG-13)—SR X-Men: Days of Future Past HHH Bryan Singer juggles more than a dozen mutants and whole heaps of story for a satisfying comic-book action spectacle and allegory. From an apocalyptic near future, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is sent back in time to 1973, where he must stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from an act that will set the deadly events in motion.

The overlap of characters from the two X-franchises is part of the fun, and for once the sheer magnitude of the cast and plotting in a super-hero epic feels somewhat justified. The bouncing between characters sometimes doesn’t allow for focus on the film’s strongest assets, like Evan Peters as happily anarchic speedster Quicksilver. But it’s intriguing watching something pointedly set at the end of the Vietnam War, as it looks at the moral choices we can make when confronted with something we perceive as a threat. (PG-13)—SR

Dominion Thursday, June 19 (Syfy)

Season Premiere: If you missed the first season of Sundance’s dream-state drama Rectify—which is likely, because, well, Sundance—get thee hence to Netf lix, Amazon, your favorite pirate stream, whatever. It introduced Daniel Holden (Aden Young), newly-released from prison after serving 19 years for a rape/murder he may or may not have committed; with the exception of his sister (Abigail Spencer), no one in his small Georgia hometown is convinced of his innocence, maybe not even Daniel himself. Watch Season 1 now, come back later.

The Last Ship Sunday, June 22 (TNT) Series Debut: Say what you want about Michael Bay—dude knows how to produce Big Action: The Last Ship looks like a pricey summer blockbuster movie, until you notice the B-list stars (Grey’s Anatomy’s Eric Dane and Strike Back’s Rhona Mitra) and the TNT logo and “Falling Skies Season Premiere Next” blaring in the corners. The Ship is a U.S. Navy destroyer on a weapons-testing mission at the Arctic Circle, but the skipper (Dane) is unaware that the “mission” is a cover for a scientist (Mitra) gathering samples to create a cure for an impending pandemic. Surprise! In the months they’ve been isolated and incommunicado, 80 percent of the planet’s population has been wiped out and global chaos reigns. Will the crew and the science lady make it back to what’s left of civilization in time to save what’s left of mankind? Is there a mole on the ship? Did Bay spend all of TNT’s money? Shut up and grab the popcorn, already!

True Blood Sunday, June 22 (HBO) Season Premiere: The Only TV Column That Matters™ could tell you which major char-

Dominion (Syfy) acter gets killed in the opening minutes of True Blood’s seventh and final season, but who cares? Every major character has been offed at least once on this show, so it’s 50/50 that this “death” won’t stick, either. At least the season premiere, “Jesus Gonna Be Here,” is mostly fast-paced and actionpacked, with the townsfolk of Bon Temps sticking with the “one vampire for every human” plan even after a vicious attack by the H-Vamps (rogue vampires cracked-out on the Hepatitis V virus … I know, I know). Only nine more episodes left!

CeeLo Green’s The Good Life Monday, June 23 (TBS) Series Debut: Not so much an “unscripted” “reality” show about CeeLo “Baby T-Rex Arms” Green as a six-episode infomercial for the Goodie Mob, his ’90s hip-hop group that’s been attempting a comeback for well over a year now (they released a reunion album in 2013; nobody noticed). If CeeLo’s international fame and truckloads of money couldn’t get the job done, a half-hour on Monday nights following 15 Big Bang Theory reruns probably ain’t gonna do it, either. CW

The true-ish story of pioneering 1950s human sexuality researchers Masters (Michael Sheen) and Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) that looks like Mad Men, but with more Showtime nudity and language, and even more PBS science talk. (Sony)

Series Debut: After the Season 2 premiere of cowboys & aliens future western Defiance— yes, they’re still defying their asses off— Syfy drops another big-budget original, Dominion, which is waaay better than a series based on the 2010 mess of a movie Legion should be. Twenty-five years later, in the rubble of an Earth ravaged by lower angels bent on the destruction/possession of mankind, new, high-tech bunker-cities house remaining humans—including a Vega (the former Las Vegas, somehow even more obnoxious than before) soldier who happens to be, yep, The Chosen One who’ll save humanity. Dominion establishes its dark tone and New Ruling Class hierarchy quickly, thanks to Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Anthony Stewart Head, who lends serious weight even without his British accent, and writing that doesn’t dumb it down (see again: Legion).

King Khan & the Shrines’ new album inspired by frontman’s breakdown and recovery.

HHHH Zombies HHH Ghosts HH Werewolves H Sparkly vampires

First Aid Kit, Stay Gold HHHH

By Kolbie Stonehocker kstonehocker@cityweekly.net @vonstonehocker

“M

y mom said that when they tried to teach me how to eat solid food, that I would usually spit out half of it ... I would kind of perform that, so I guess that’s when they realized that I would be a performer,” says Arish Ahmad Khan, better known as King Khan, the flamboyant frontman of Berlinbased garage-rock/soul band King Khan & the Shrines. “And I have vomited onstage, so things don’t really change—the circle remains unbroken.” So goes the lighthearted (if somewhat gross) beginning to a conversation with Khan, who, ever the joker, answers the phone using a fake heavy Indian accent. And for a guy who is famous for his ostentatious stage costumes (donkey-teeth necklace, black underwear covered in tiny mirrors, feathered headdress, satin cape and not much else) and eyebrow-raising onstage antics (he once stuck his bare ass in Lindsay Lohan’s face), it could be easy to assume that that in-concert spirit of freedom and revelry is also reflected in his personal life. But in truth, Khan has had some serious darkness to exorcise lately. King Khan & the Shrines formed in 1999, shortly after Khan’s previous band, The Spaceshits, broke up. Influenced by a variety of musicians including Sun Ra, James Brown and Otis Redding, the Shrines’ bread & butter is a hipshakin’ party blend of ’60s soul, free jazz, garage rock, R&B and, of course, punk. “I’ve been a punk for a long time,” Khan says. “So I think that’s always going to be there.” Despite playing music that could be described as “retro,” King Khan & the Shrines don’t box themselves in stylistically. “I never wanted to be purist about it because a lot of bands when they try to do this kind of sound, they try to emulate it to a T,” Khan says. “But I like to just be free and be able to mix all sorts of different influences.” After King Khan & the Shrines released their 2007 album, What Is?!, the band continued to play shows but took a hiatus from recording. They returned triumphantly with Idle No More, but not until 2013, after a six-year gap that Khan says was mainly a consequence of his own struggles. “I went through a real huge breakdown,” he says. “And that happens to everyone eventually, but for me, it was losing three great brothers of mine, people I really loved, and also being on the road so much and away from my family. All sorts of these things kind of all just start eating at your soul. And eventually, I just kind of lost my mind.” Among the friends he lost were influential punk musician Jay Reatard, who died from a cocaine overdose in 2010 at age 29, as well as two friends who lived in the Kahnawake Mohawk Indian reservation near Montreal, where Khan was born. “When I was a kid, I had some problems with my father, and when he would kick me out of the house, I would seek refuge at one of my Mohawk friend’s house in the reservation,” he says. “That was actually one of the places where I learned a lot about rock & roll and B-movies and cult movies.” But after spending time in a Buddhist temple in Korea

CD REVIEW

eric luc

king khan & the shrines

Hail to the king: King Khan has reclaimed his throne. and then two years in psychiatric treatment, Khan was fully recovered. “I feel like I’m in a much better place than I’ve ever been right now,” he says. “It’s just like you learn to appreciate what’s most important, and I kind of lost myself for a while.” Idle No More—named for the First Nations protest movement that began in Canada in 2012—marks a “big change in my whole way of thinking,” Khan says. “Before that, it was very easy to keep going and kind of destroying yourself every night, but then it really does take a toll. And luckily, I woke up and faced that whole thing.” Scattered among the jangly tambourines, funky bass lines and sexy horns on Idle No More are multiple serious messages. On “Darkness,” Khan sings somberly, “Endless darkness hiding more than it shows/ This endless darkness never ceases to grow in my soul.” And the song “So Wild” is dedicated to Jay Reatard and one of Khan’s Mohawk friends who was also named Jay. But despite its slight sadness, Idle No More could more accurately be described as a rebirth that rejoices in second chances, love and family, especially as Khan counts his blessings in “Luckiest Man.” Khan gives at least partial credit for his recovery to music. “I think that music has always more of been a spiritual thing to me than just a job or a pastime,” he says. “One of my biggest influences, for example, is gospel music … and the way that the preacher could take a room and really wash away the pain and suffering of everyone in that room with the power of words and harmonies and sounds.” At its core, Idle No More is a joyous record about what it means to be human, with all one’s imperfections and idiosyncrasies included. Khan may have been temporarily lost to the world, but music helped him get back to center. “I think music in general is very uplifting, and for me, it’s the most spiritual sound,” Khan says. “It’s a release. If I listen to people like Alice Coltrane, you hear something that’s completely from another majestic planet, or at least it takes you to another majestic planet. … I think music has that incredible alchemic property of completely taking you away from where you are.” CW

If First Aid Kit’s new album, Stay Gold, is any indication, the duo certainly have a clear direction. The country-inspired pop of First Aid Kit—comprised of sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg—could easily be mistaken for Nashville’s best-kept secret, but the Swedish band’s music transcends anything hailing from the aforementioned city in recent memory. Stay Gold opens strongly and bests itself with each song. Klara confidently sing-speaks on the opening track, “My Silver Lining,” before she and her sister demonstrate their steadily building range as they sing, “I don’t want to wait anymore, I’m tired of looking for answers/ Take me someplace where there’s music and there’s laughter/ … Just got to keep on keeping on.” However, insight isn’t all the music has to offer. First Aid Kit’s stylistic diversity is evident in “Cedar Lane,” a song almost reminiscent of an epic classic-rock ballad. From start to finish, each song on Stay Gold—a nod to a Robert Frost poem—holds its own, with none overshadowing the rest. It may be too soon to tell, but Stay Gold might be among this year’s best. April 1, Columbia Records (Keith Emerson)

The Antlers, Familiars HHH.5 The source of the underlying tension of Familiars, the fifth album from New York City indie-rock trio The Antlers, is in its title. Revealed in the word’s more arcane definition—that of a guardian spirit or a shadow side of the self—is the album’s central theme of duality, a sense that an entity is being guided, or in other cases, haunted, by an opposite force. “If there was ever a time when you felt completely lost and you were able to appear to yourself, to give yourself advice and shed light on your situation, what would that be like?” asks lead vocalist/ guitarist Peter Silberman in the band’s online bio. That question is explored in dreamy, melancholy but richly textured piano-centric arrangements that behave like slowly spiraling whirlpools, innocently pulling the listener toward oblivion. But for its often sleepy tempos, Familiars is full of hidden sharp edges. “Doppelganger”—which gets a stunning noir feel out of a lone trumpet and Silberman’s smoky but powerful falsetto—could chill bone marrow with the lyrics “If you’re quiet, you can hear the monster breathing/ Do you hear the gentle tapping, my ugly creature’s freezing.” That beseeching by something to be allowed to enter continues in “Revisited,” in the lyrics “Gently clawing at my window when I was less than awake/ I slid it up for you to slither through,” which Silberman croons as lush piano and trumpet intertwine. Whether the protagonist is being hunted by a monster’s claws or their own mind, it’s a terrifying encounter. ANTI-, June 17 (Kolbie Stonehocker)

Speak the Truth Talia Keys is more authentic than ever on debut solo album. By Deann Armes comments@cityweekly.net

inding a voice wasn’t necessarily easy for Talia Keys even though she can now own just about any stage with her truth-telling lyrics and bold onstage banter. “Growing up, I was a pretty shy kid,” says the Salt Lake City native, who’s the frontwoman of two local rock bands and is also a burgeoning solo artist. “I was a tomboy, and people would like to call me ‘that little lesbian,’ and I harbored almost a kind of a hatred of myself.” In her “intensely personal” first solo EP, Gemini Mind, Keys reveals her journey to becoming the brazen, free-spoken musician she is today. The new six-track EP includes original songs recorded with both of her bands—Marinade and Lady Legs—and two solo songs, and highlights the life-changing experiences that shaped her. “It’s weird the way the whole album fell chronologically into place; it’s a sort of a semi-life-story for me,” says Keys, who leaves for a summer solo tour soon after her album-release show. Gemini Mind delves into several personal subjects, and that level of self-exposure is new for Keys. In the four-plus years she performed with her first band, the “saucy” funk-rock outfit Marinade, she says, she had a different stage persona from the more authentic one she sees herself evolving into now. “I’ve been pretty crass to get people’s attention, in a way,” Keys says. “I see why I did it back then: because I was afraid of what people would think of this girl and her baseball hat playing drums and singing songs.” Nowadays, Keys, a full-time musician playing up to four nights a week both solo (as Gemini Mind) and with her new soulful, bluesy rock band Lady Legs, fearlessly gives voice to her truth. “I’ve been more passionate about talking about human rights, and about things like the tar-sands project and oil companies and the government—being crass and in your face about those things, as

Talia Keys is looking toward the light. opposed to making jokes or being sexual to get people’s attention,” she says. “I’m finally not afraid to do that, but it took some time.” Keys is similarly honest in the songs on Gemini Mind. In the song “In My Beer”—one of the two solo tracks for which she recorded all the instrumentation and vocals on her own—is “a kind of love song about drowning yourself in your beer and smoke and whatnot, something I definitely had a problem with at one point,” Keys says. Following that darker period of excess came two years of sobriety, a time of selfdiscovery that Keys describes as “when the sun came out” and that is the subject of the song “Face in the Clouds,” about stopping running and turning around to face yourself. “I thought, ‘Why am I so afraid? So what if I could be into women, what’s wrong with that?’ ” she says. “I became more independent and confident, and the frontwoman I am today. And that’s when I met the love of my life, Melahn.” In summer 2013, Keys went back to the diabetes camp she often attended as a teen, the place she first performed music and discovered she had a voice onstage. She opened up to the youth about her selfhatred in high school, how fat and ugly she felt, and where she is today. And she performed “Me”—one of her first deeply personal songs about “being yourself.” “Kids were in tears, and a girl came up to me after and told me how that song changed a lot of things for her,” Keys says. “And it made me realize I am doing more than just party music now.” And she’s determined to always speak her mind. “Sometimes people say things like, ‘I wish that girl would just shut up and sing,’ ” Keys says. “But I’m not gonna let those things get to me; I’m still gonna do what I’m gonna do.” CW

Allred 10th-Anniversary Shows It’s not a surprise that local singer-songwriter John Allred has been creating and performing music for 10 years. Allred’s pure voice and ability to write a great hearton-his-sleeve pop song makes his music universally appealing, and his work ethic has helped him and his full band of the same name retain their status as skilled players in the music scene throughout the years. In honor of this 10th-anniversary milestone, Allred will perform two shows at Velour: The first night will be a seated acoustic show, and the second night will be an electric set by the entire band. Largely influenced by Jimmy Eat World, Allred’s music is emotion-filled, bright, catchy pop, whether that sound is being showcased on an original album—such as the band’s most recent, 2012’s Allred—or a collection of covers of songs by artists like the Beatles, Imogen Heap and Dashboard Confessional. This fall, be on the lookout for even more music from John Allred, as he has a new full-length album—produced by Joshua James—in the works. Velour, 135 N.

Red Butte Concert Series: Mavis Staples, The Robert Cray Band Attendees of this double-headliner show featuring Robert Cray and Mavis Staples are in for a treat. Staples came from a family group called The Staple Singers, but she went on to become a legendary performer in her own right. A pillar of American music, Staples has a distinctive voice that’s smoky

Allah-Las and bass-y, filled with power and inspiration, whether she’s laying down a Stax-era soul anthem, a civil-rights protest song or a transcendent gospel number. Her contemplative delta-influenced gospel style takes central stage on 2013’s One True Vine, her latest album and second collaboration with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. And what Staples is to soul and R&B, Robert Cray is to the blues. A veritable guitar master, he’s an icon, one of the youngest musicians to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. His new album, In My Soul—released in April—is a vibrant mix of soul and rock.

The film’s creators are asking that all attendees be dressed in appropriate punk attire— do it up right; you never know if your magnificently glued Mohawk will end up in the shot. The lineup will include punk-rock veteran bands Screeching Weasel and Dwarves; local punk act Ulteriors; Sacramento rock duo Dog Party; and Denver punk/hardcore band The Eight Bucks Experiment, who appeared in SLC Punk! as the fictional band ECP. Contributors to the Indiegogo campaign should be at The Complex between 9 and 11 a.m. to pick up passes, then return at 5 p.m. sharp to be let into the pit. If you purchased a ticket, you’ll get in the pit around 5:30 p.m. The Complex, 536 W. 100 South, 6 p.m., $15, TheComplexSLC.com

Coolio It’s safe to assume that everyone knows who Coolio is, either directly from his ’90s classics like “Gangsta’s Paradise” or “Fantastic Voyage,” or by the embarrassing fact that your mom and her friends have probably replaced the word “cool” with “coolio” in at least a half a dozen texts. It seems everyone can get down with El Cool Magnifico, and his latest project is something the whole family can enjoy, a cookbook called Cookin’ With Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price. This culinary classic features sections like “Appetizers for That Ass,” “It’s Hard Out Here for a Shrimp” and “Salad-Eatin’ Bitches.” DJs Matty Mo and Flash & Flare are also performing. (Colin Wolf) The Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, 9 p.m., $12, TheUrbanLoungeSLC.com

Friday 6.20

Saturday 6.21

Since 2003, Wisconsin-born Graham Lindsey has been making minimalist Americana country albums that are as haunting as they are gritty. Lindsay’s voice, accompanied by acoustic guitar and the occasional harmonica or violin, feels gravely and rough, but still melodic in a Bob Dylan-esque way. His recent release, Digging Up Birds: A Collection of Rarities & Others, is 19 unreleased demos, live recordings and album outtakes from the past 14 years. The collection showcases Lindsey’s growth, with a rough cut of “Just Like Dust” sitting alongside a live version of “We Are All Alone Together.” Billy Cook will open the show.

CONCERTS & CLUBS

Young Widows

Don’t let spelling of their name fool you; this fivepiece indie-rock group is from Newbury Park, Calif., not the United Kingdom. Guided by frontman Jesse Rutherford’s soothing R&B-influenced vocals, The Neighbourhood’s music is based on unhurried tempos, backed by thundering percussion with an overlay of echoing, distant electric guitar. Rutherford’s lyrics are honest and transformative, able to take listeners to an exact place and time. Since their debut studio album, I Love You (Columbia), was released in 2013, they’ve seen wide radio play with “Sweater Weather,” and their track “Honest” was included on the Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. Travi$ Scott and White Arrows will be opening. (James Hall) Tuesday, June 24 @ The Great Saltair, 12408 W.

Dave’s. “The fact that people in general are becoming more conscious and supporting local businesses has helped my business become what it has become now,” says Mathison. The company also does its part by giving back and supporting the community by regularly donating to KRCL, and also recently designed exclusive stickers saying “wet nuts” that were passed out at the Utah Pride Festival. Chris & Dave’s boiled peanuts and sweet tea can be found at the Downtown Farmers Market and Wheeler Farm Sunday Market throughout the market season. Exclusive farmers market flavors currently include curry and chili limón. The company also sells their peanuts at local establishments throughout Utah including Blue Star Juice and Coffee, Western Nut Company, Village Baker, Sacco’s Produce, Community Food Co-op of Utah, Local Flavors Market & Café, Pirate O’s Gourmet Market, Peterson’s Fresh Market, Village Baker and Wasatch Front Farmers Market Store. Boiled peanuts range from $4 for a small cup, $6 for a large cup, $15 for a half-gallon bucket or $25 for two half-gallon buckets. Sweet tea is always $1 with any peanut purchase.

or those craving a taste of the south, look no further than Chris & Dave’s. They’ve been steadily making a name for themselves around the Beehive state for their award-winning boiled peanuts and southern-style sweet tea. David Mathison (a.k.a. “Peanut Dave”), owner of Chris & Dave’s, has spent the past few years introducing these delicious salty snacks, nicknamed the “edamame of the south,” to Utahns. So far, “the response has been incredible,” says Mathison. “I have regulars that come and buy them every single week, and they will often take home two of the half-gallon buckets we offer because one cup just isn’t enough for them.” Mathison has traveled the world tasting food and beverages and is convinced that the people of Utah have a desire for “anything new, weird and different,” which is what started the boiled peanut craze out west. While known as a traditional southern snack, they’ve made their way worldwide to places like Hawaii, India and even the Philippines. “While flavors and styles vary, they all just love those edamame-like legumes,” Mathison asserts. Selling at farmers markets in the area plays a key role in the success of Chris &

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you were alive 150 years ago and needed to get a tooth extracted, you might have called on a barber or blacksmith or wigmaker to do the job. (Dentistry didn’t become a formal occupation until the latter part of the 19th century.) Today, you wouldn’t dream of seeking anyone but a specialist to attend to the health of your mouth. But I’m wondering if you are being less particular about certain other matters concerning your welfare. Have you been seeking financial advice from your massage therapist? Spiritual counsel from your mechanic? Nutritional guidance from a fastfood addict? I suggest you avoid such behavior. It’s time to ask for specific help from those who can actually provide it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “My music is best understood by children and animals,” said composer Igor Stravinsky. A similar statement could be made about you Tauruses in the coming weeks: You will be best understood by children and animals—and by all others who have a capacity for dynamic innocence and a buoyant curiosity rooted in emotional intelligence. In fact, those are the types I advise you to surround yourself with. For now, it’s best to avoid sophisticates who overthink everything and know-it-all cynics whose default mode is criticism. Take control of what influences you absorb. You need to be in the presence of those who help activate your vitality and enthusiasm.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It’s transition time. We will soon see how skilled you are at following through. The innovations you have launched in recent weeks need to be fleshed out. The creativity you unleashed must get the full backing of your practical action. You will be asked to make good on the promises you made or even implied. I want to urge you not to get your feelings hurt if some pruning and editing are required. In fact, I suggest you relish the opportunity to translate fuzzy ideals into tidy structures. Practicing the art of ingenious limitation will make everything better. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) It’s always important for you to shield yourself against our culture’s superficial and sexist ideas about sex. It’s always important for you to cultivate your own unique and soulful understandings about sex. But right now this is even more crucial than usual. You are headed into a phase when you will have the potential to clarify and deepen your relationship with eros. In ways you have not previously imagined, you can learn to harness your libido to serve both your spiritual aspirations and your quest for greater intimacy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Writing at FastCompany.com, Himanshu Saxena suggests that businesses create a new position: Chief Paradox Officer, or CPXO. This person would be responsible for making good use of the conflicts and contradictions that normally arise, treating them as opportunities for growth rather than as distractions. From my astrological perspective, you Virgos are currently prime candidates to serve in this capacity. You will continue to have special powers to do this type of work for months to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pet mice that are kept in cages need to move more than their enclosed space allows, so their owners often provide them with exercise wheels. If the rodents want to exert their natural instinct to run around, they’ve got to do it on this device. But here’s a curious twist: A team of Dutch researchers has discovered that wild mice also enjoy using exercise wheels. The creatures have all the room to roam they need, but when they come upon the wheels in the middle of the forest, they hop on and go for prolonged spins. I suggest you avoid behavior like that, Capricorn. Sometime soon you will find yourself rambling through more spacious places. When that happens, don’t act like you do when your freedom is more limited.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In the next two weeks, I hope you don’t fall prey to the craze that has been sweeping Japan. More than 40,000 people have bought books that feature the photos of hamuketsu, or hamster bottoms. Even if you do manage to avoid being consumed by that particular madness, I’m afraid you might get caught up in trifles and distractions that are equally irrelevant to your longterm dreams. Here’s what I suggest: To counteract any tendency you might have to neglect what’s truly important, vow to focus intensely on what’s truly important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “Make a name for the dark parts of you,” writes Lisa Marie Basile in her poem “Paz.” I think that’s good advice for you, Sagittarius. The imminent future will be an excellent time to fully acknowledge the shadowy aspects of your nature. More than that, it will be a perfect moment to converse with them, get to know them better, and identify their redeeming features. I suspect you will find that just because they are dark doesn’t mean they are bad or shameful. If you approach them with love and tenderness, they may even reveal their secret genius.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts has a collection of Japanese art that is never on display. It consists of 6,600 wood-block prints created by artists of the ukiyo-e school, also known as “pictures of the floating world.” Some are more than 300 years old. They are tucked away in drawers and hidden from the light, ensuring that their vibrant colors won’t fade. So they are well-preserved but rarely seen by anyone. Is there anything about you that resembles these pictures of the floating world, Cancerian? Do you keep parts of you secret, protecting them from what might happen if you show them to the world? It may be time to revise that policy. (Thanks to Molly Oldfield’s The Secret Museum for the info referred to here.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Scorpio novelist Kurt Vonnegut rebelled against literary traditions. His stories were often hybrids of science fiction and autobiography. Free-form philosophizing blended with satirical moral commentary. He could be cynical yet playful, and he told a lot of jokes. “I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over,” he testified. “Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” He’s your role model for the next four weeks, Scorpio. Your challenge will be to wander as far as you can into the frontier without getting hopelessly lost.

| cityweekly.net |

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “Nikhedonia” is an obscure English word that refers to the pleasure that comes from anticipating success or good fortune. There’s nothing wrong with indulging in this emotion as long as it doesn’t interfere with you actually doing the work that will lead to success or good fortune. But the problem is, nikhedonia makes some people lazy. Having experienced the thrill of imagining their victory, they find it hard to buckle down and slog through the gritty details necessary to manifest their victory. Don’t be like that. Enjoy your nikhedonia, then go and complete the accomplishment that will bring a second, even stronger wave of gratification.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) In accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a brief, one-time-only license to commit the Seven Deadly Sins. You heard me correctly, Libra. As long as you don’t go to extremes, feel free to express healthy amounts of pride, greed, laziness, gluttony, anger, envy and lust. At least for now, there will be relatively little hell to pay for these indulgences. Just one caveat: If I were you, I wouldn’t invest a lot of energy in anger and envy. Technically, they are permitted, but they aren’t really much fun. On the other hand, greed, gluttony and lust could be quite pleasurable, especially if you don’t take yourself too seriously. Pride and laziness may also be enjoyable in moderate, artful amounts.

ast week marked the 10th Annual HRC Utah Dinner Gala. For a decade, HRC’s gala has brought leaders from around the country to Utah to help solve LGBT Issues. This year, ABC’s Modern Family star, Ty Burrell, was awarded HRC Utah’s Ally of Equality award, presented by fellow co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Geralyn Dreyfous, philanthropist, producer, and founder of the Utah Film Center, was presented with the HRC Equality Award. California’s Prop 8 plaintiffs Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo were special guests, and DJ Young One and David Hernandez helped us dance the night away. This was our biggest and best dinner yet. Beyond the celebrities and glitz and glam of the evening, this was our opportunity to say thank you for 10 years of standing with us, fighting for equality. I joined the HRC Utah’s Steering Committee because I believe LGBT rights organizations have a profound impact on the lives of gay and transgender Utahns. At the gala, we highlighted our continued partnership with Equality Utah and The Utah Pride Center. Both organizations are doing important work like securing basic protections in housing and employment, and providing much needed services to the most vulnerable among us. On Saturday night, the room was filled with friends and family, and the legacy of a decade’s worth of work, changing hearts and minds and striving to end discrimination. We celebrated the collapse of Utah’s marriage ban and those like it around the country. We helped people find the right way to be a part of solving the issues that impact LGBT Utahns the most. Most of all, we reengaged in the work of securing equality for all people, every where. Regardless of personal characteristics, everyone deserves to be treated equally under the law. So much of our work depends on the generosity of others. From time spent volunteering to financial contributions, everyone has an opportunity to give. When you give, you personally become part of the growing number of voices bettering the lives of LGBT Utahns. Through our efforts, workplaces become safer, communities become more stable, and families become stronger. When we work, love is uplifted and individual identities are affirmed. And the beauty of it all is that everyone is welcome. If you would like to join the fight for equality in Utah, visit www.hrc.org/states/ utah, www.utahpridecenter.org, and www. equalityutah.org for more information and to find other organizations doing important work. n

here has been so much hoopla in the past few years over the opening of City Creek Mall that it’s easy to forget all the other malls in the area. The first enclosed shopping mall ever built was Cottonwood Mall in Holladay in 1962, with its anchor stores at opposite ends— ZCMI and J.C. Penny. Just before the economic collapse of 2008, General Growth Properties (GGP) tore down the mall and left Macy’s standing all by itself. Oops, the GGP then filed bankruptcy itself in 2009 and was split into two companies by the courts. The current owners are the Howard Hughes Corp. Valley Fair Mall in West Valley opened in 1970 as large new home subdivisions started popping up on the old farmlands. Fashion Place was built in 1972. University Mall in Orem followed the trend and opened in 1973, and then got later competition with the Provo Town Center. If you travel around the state, you will find the Layton Hills Mall, The Newgate in Ogden, South Town in Salt Lake, the Tanger Outlet in Park City, the Outlets at Zion in St. George and in Lehi, Gateway Mall in downtown, and even the themed malls like Gardner Village and Trolley Square. The Cottonwood Mall “hole” of 54 acres of weeds and rocks feels like a sad tale of boom and bust, but don’t feel badly for the big money boys. Right now the Howard Hughes Corp. is working with Ivory Homes to design a high-end housing development within a mixed use of new stores around the Macy’s island in the Holladay dirt. Although no timeline has been announced for groundbreaking, you can be assured that one of the largest mixed use shopping and housing projects in the Salt Lake Valley since the City Creek Mall will be announced within the year. In mall news, props to Gateway this past weekend for having a hugely successful sidewalk Chalk Fest for the Foster kids program here in the state combined with a KSL book giveaway for kids. The media giant gave out 20,000 books in just one day. Also, do NOT miss the world of the Broadway Musical WICKED on the sky bridge at City Creek. The costumes and a display of “Behind the Emerald Curtain” are on display in the sky over Main Street through June 28th. n
