5 great things to do this week

#1

Jazz It Up

#2

It’s Got Groove

The Scranton Jazz Festival brings jazz, blues and world beat music to downtown Scranton this weekend, Aug. 14-16.

The main stage is located behind the historic Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Ave., and features award-winning headliners Spyro Gyra (pictured). Other acts schedule to perform include Roy Williams and The Human Hands, Tom Hamilton’s Work In Progress Band, The Nate Birkey Group, The Keystone College Jazz Institute Student Combos, The Diva Jazz Trio (featuring Sherrie Maricle, Noriko Veda, Tomoko Oh), Dred “Perky” Scott & Steve Rudolph Trio and the SJF Big Band featuring jazz trumpet icon Jon Faddis. The after-party begins with “jazz walks” to venues such as Posh, The Bog and Ale Mary’s, where the fun and music continues.

The Scranton Jazz Festival began in 2005 at Hanlon’s Grove Amphitheater at Nay Aug Park, but after a snowstorm destroyed the facility in 2007, the festival was moved to downtown Scranton.

Now, for three days the heart of Scranton attracts 3,500 people and is transformed into a weekend haven for international, national and regional artists.

Passes can be purchased for the whole weekend ($55) or for individual days (prices vary).

Never got around to memorizing Barry Gibbs’s disco teen angst lyrics to the title track “Grease” penned for the 1978 John Travolta / Oliva Newton John film adaptation of the 1972 musical Grease? You don’t need to crack open the sheet music now. Turner Classic Movies’ Grease Sing-A-Long comes with lyrics right on the big screen. The American musical classic screens Sunday, Aug. 16, at 2 and 7 p.m. and again on Wednesday, Aug. 19, as one in a series of seven films TCM has partnered to bring to regional cinemas in 2015. You can participate locally at Cinemarks in Moosic or Stroudsburg or at the Dickson City Stadium 14 & IMAX. Tickets range from $5 to $11.75. The PG-13 rated-film includes a special introduction by hosts Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz, and runs approximately 120 minutes.

MY MORNING JACKET — The Waterfall THE GOOD: Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jim James and his Kentucky crew come back with their seventh.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Genre bending and sound blending have always been this band’s forte; their albums mesmerizing and unpredictable. The Waterfall is no exception. From the pulsating opening notes and slow build of set launcher “Believe (Nobody Knows)” to the blues-colored closer “Only Memories Remain,” the record is a multi-textured journey and exploration of varying mood swings.

In other words, it’s everything a cohesive album SHOULD be (usually the case with these guys).

“Get the Point” is raw and intimate. “Thin Line” is made more compelling by a layer of genuine soul. “Big Decisions” finds the band at their most infectious and focused. As a songwriter, James refuses to fall into a comfortable rut. The man pushes boundaries. And rumor has it the band will release the Waterfall’s follow-up within the next year. I’m sure nobody minds this guy being prolific.

BUY IT?: Surely.

THE HELIO SEQUENCE — The Helio Sequence THE GOOD: Northwest indie duo Helio Sequence gives us their sixth.

THE BAD: No gripes.

THE NITTY GRITTY: These guys are textbook Oregon indie folk/rock; tight harmonies, reserved arrangements, delicate melodies, electric guitars turned all the way up to four. Brandon Summers’ vocals are never abrasive. Benjamin Weikel’s drumming hangs low in the mix; its sole purpose remains establishing airtight rolling rhythms.

There isn’t an ounce of fat on this new eponymous effort (not even a fancy title below the band’s name). The songs themselves are lean; focused and melodic tracks with all their pieces

falling neatly into place. Focusing on individual cuts isn’t necessary, for there isn’t a true dud in the bunch. Just push “play” and fly over the lush forest below.

At the same time though, don’t expect a completely “mellow” experience. The duo knows when to add a little roughness around the edges, reminding us that, here, the rock will always dominate the folk.

BUY IT?: Yes.

MUMFORD AND SONS — Wilder Mind THE GOOD: British folk/rock band Mumford and Sons “plug in” for their third.

THE BAD: Those longing for another batch of acoustic guitars, banjos and upright bass will have to find it elsewhere. Wilder Mind is their “rock” album.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Here’s the problem. By embracing drums and electric guitars, M&S loses the better part of their unique identity. Now, they’re a poor man’s National or, if this record came out 10 years ago, a shallow Magic Numbers.

I would describe Mind as “competent.” It’s a pleasant album with a handful of decent tunes, but there’s nothing memorable here, or anything that will truly beg for a second listen. Thankfully, the set isn’t outright TERRIBLE. M&S never reaches the dull offensiveness of Creed or Nickelback. But the subtle charms of glossy semi-romantic pieces like “Tompkins Square Park” and “Just Smoke” will carry a band only so far (and there are only a finite number of romantic comedy movie trailers in need of a soundtrack).

BUY IT?: Maybe not.

The Peach Music FesTival ReTuRns To The MounTain

T

he Peach Music Festival has arrived at Montage Mountain for its fourth incarnation. From Thursday, Aug. 13, through Sunday, Aug. 16, the mountain will be alive with music fans from far and wide. An estimated 17,000 people per day will listen to music on three stages from Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes featuring Railroad Earth, Willie Nelson, Santana, Bob Weir, Cabinet and dozens of other artists.

The Peach Festival has grown and evolved since The Allman Brothers Band and Live Nation began the festival in 2012 as a showcase for the Allman Brothers Band and associated acts. Although The Allman Brothers Band officially retired after the 2014 festival, this year will carry on the tradition in a slightly different way.

“This will be the first year that the Allman Brothers Band won’t be there, but then again they will — just in different entities,” said Gregg Allman, keyboards, vocals and songwriter for The Allman Brothers Band.

Many of the acts scheduled throughout the weekend feature components from various Allman

24 A u g u s t 1 3 , 2 0 1 5

Brothers Band incarnations from throughout the band’s 45-year career.

“It’s still an Allman Brothers festival. We pretty much have the entire group of The Allman Brothers performing here in one way or another,” said Dave Niedbalski, vice president of marketing at Live Nation. “While The Allman Brothers might not be together as a band right now, we still have their spirit here through all these different sets.”

Longtime Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes has been a part of the festival since the beginning, and said he’s enjoyed the evolution of Peach Festival.

“I’ve done the Fest with the Allman Brothers, with Government Mule, as a solo acoustic, sitting in with Warren Haynes Band, sitting in with a lot of fellow performers,” said Haynes. “This year I’m doing it to promote my newest solo record, Ashes and Dust, with Railroad Earth, with whom I recorded the record with in the studio. So that’ll be another way of performing at Peach Fest. It’ll be showing a different aspect of what I do.”

Even though the times have changed and the

e le c tric c ity / d ia m o n d c ity

TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E24] | 08/12/15

15:59 | GRAHAMTOM

bands have shifted, Allman and Haynes were both optimistic about tackling new projects and continuing to play live music.

“I have a nine-piece band now, with horns and all, and I tell you what — it’s been the most incredible musical experience I’ve ever had the honor of being part of, bar none,” Allman said. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying anything against the Allman Brothers — I had lots of fun. Back around the 40th anniversary was when I started building a new band. It took me almost seven years to find everybody who’s in it. They’re all, needless to say, younger than me — some of them not a whole lot younger — but they are musicians I look up to.

They’re my peers, they’re people I can learn from.

One of the requirements I looked for was they had to be better than me!”

Haynes said getting involved with different artists and bands feels like second nature.

“I think I’d never be happy just doing one thing all the time,” Haynes said. “I think all the different projects that I’m part of, and all the different sides of myself that I showcase are indicative of my taste

in music and the way I grew up listening to so many different types of music, and playing so many different types of music. I’m also very fortunate that my audience seems to have a similar outlook, maybe even similar tastes that are very diverse and run all over the map. I’m very fortunate that they seem to be, for the most part, cool with whatever it is I’m doing and enjoy checking it out.”

The thousands of fans who visit Montage Mountain to camp or visit daily at Peach Festival have come to expect a diverse lineup across the festival’s three stages.

“Saturday night late-night, Lotus playing the Mushroom Stage has kind of become a tradition for the Peach Festival after all these years,” said Niedbalski. “It’s kind of like the one time at the end of the night, after you’ve been listening to real long, guitar-laden improvisation, you can get some more dance and pulse to the vibe.”

Bob Weir, one of the founding members of the Grateful Dead, will rejoin the festival after a late cancellation in 2014. While Peach Festival began with a tight focus on The Allman Brothers Band,

Niedbalski said Weir and other Grateful Dead members have become a part of the festival as well.

“We have the Dead element, which is special this year because of the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead,” Niedbalski said. “We’re celebrating that — Bob Weir is playing two times, we have Joe Russo’s Almost Dead playing, we have Dark Star Orchestra playing two sets, we brought Bruce Hornsby who’s a former member of the Grateful Dead and we also have Keller Williams doing The Grateful Gospel. So we’re playing into the 50 years of Grateful Dead in addition to putting together all these Allman Brothers members and their side projects surrounding it.”

The collection of old friends and new is another

reason for the artists to enjoy themselves, according to Allman.

“It’s like a whole reunion each time,” he said.

“It’s when you see people, some of them you haven’t seen in years. You see people you’ve played with, people you’ve jammed with, you meet new people.”

Making sure fans and artists alike enjoy the music is integral to the overall vibe, said Haynes.

“I think the audience can tell if the band is having a good time, and that is contagious and carries over into the energy the audience is giving the band and vice-versa,” Haynes said. “The whole concept and payoff for playing in a live performance setting is that you’re capable of playing music beyond

what you could create by yourself in an empty room. The energy that you get from the audience propels you to be able to create something beyond that.”

Peach Festival fans will come from far and wide, and local fans will recognize a few faces, including Cabinet. The band returns to Montage Mountain after hosting their own Susquehanna Breakdown festival in May. Amid national touring and preparations to release a new album – Celebration – Cabinet will return to the 570 to play three sets at Peach Festival.

“It’s going to feel great,” said JP Biondo (mandolin/vocals). “It’s always good to have a nice little homecoming, especially when it’s the Peach

Festival. We’ve kind of grown accustomed to it, hometown, hometown festival, hometown boys — we’re just looking forward to it. We’re going to get out there and play our music and have some fun.

The more exposure for us at Peach, the better as far as we’re concerned, so we’re very happy to be playing three sets.”

As Peach Festival has evolved, it’s become a destination of its own, rather than a collection of headlining acts.

“I still remember the first year we had Peach, people were saying ‘Oh, I’m going to go see The Allman Brothers!’,” said Niedbalski. “Then the next year it was ‘I’m going to go see Bob Weir and The Allman Brothers.’ Last year we really started hearing people say ‘I’m going to the Peach.’ This year, even though the lineup is spectacular, a lot of people are just talking about going to the Peach as an experience unto itself.”

The Peach Festival has always been a fanoriented experience, and the artists have come to appreciate the setting. Warren Haynes said he enjoys being a fan just as much as members of the audience.

“I think musicians tend to be the biggest music fans,” Haynes said. “We’re all geeky fans who took it a step further to learn how to play or sing or write songs because it’s something that takes up such an enormous part of your life. I still listen to music like a fan, I still have that same feeling about the magic of music that I had when I was a kid.”

Even after an acclaimed 45 year career, Gregg Allman said putting together his new band is a fresh spark.

“It’s a very youthful feeling,” Allman said. “I swear to God, I feel like I’m 25 again. It’s the same feeling I had when I joined the band that became the Allman Brothers. I was the last one to get there; my brother was getting the whole band together and then called me. It was quite an experience, it really was. We had our ups and downs and what have you, and, in 45 years, a circus of changes.

But all in all, it was very good. Very good. I wish everybody could have that feeling like that, it’s such a feeling of belonging. Belonging to something and you have a purpose. You’re not just ‘here’ taking up food and space and air and water, you know?

Like some people you meet, they just don’t seem to have any life at all, it would seem. After the life I’ve lived, you realize life … it’s excitement. It’s solitude.

It’s boogie! It’s everything, man.”

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer In this PG-13-rated 1960s-set spy caper, CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Cavill) and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal organization, working to proliferate nuclear weapons. The Plus: The players.

Guy Ritchie possesses an impressive knack for taking the British gangster genre (Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) and a beloved literary property like Sherlock Holmes (uh, Sherlock Holmes and its sequel, Game of Shadows) and making them his cheeky hard-nosed own. If the latest kick-ass trailer is any indication, he imbues NBC’s classic spy series (the program ran from 1964-68 with Robert Vaughn and David McCallum in the leads) with this same Ritchie-ness, wits and fists on full display. Here, he directs once and future Superman Cavill (Man of Steel), Social Network star Hammer (The Lone Ranger), white-hot star-on-the-rise Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) and always spot-on Hugh Grant (Cloud Atlas) in this re-do. The Minus: The burnout. As the end of the summer nears, audiences may’ve already have their fill of popcorn blockbusters thanks to a glut of superheroes (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Fantastic Four) and superstars (Tom Cruise, whose own M:I superspy actioner still packs some box office wallop as U.N.C.L.E. takes its bow).

The Gift Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall HHHH — Keeps on Giving An unnerving Hitchcockian tale for the modern age, The Gift takes a simple thread and spins a twisty web that you keeps you guessing until you’re tangled within. In this R-rated thriller, a young married couple’s (Bateman, Hall) lives get thrown into a harrowing tailspin when an acquaintance (Joel Edgerton) from the husband’s past brings mysterious gifts and a horrifying secret to light after more than 20 years. What the film presents is a paranoid puzzler involving some compelling, very flawed characters that never get clearly drawn until the very end. Oh, you might see some plot points coming but the ultimate reveal stays well beyond the audience’s grasp until the shocking final scenes. It’s a suspenseful mystery, yes, but the suspense arises from figuring out the people — more than the situations — involved. In fact, The Gift proves to be way more character than action-driven. A seemingly perfect marriage unravels because of the inner workings of the players, not the game. Thankfully, these players boast some A-grade skills. Working out of his usual wheelhouse genre (comedies like Horrible Bosses and Fox’s Arrested Development), Jason Bateman keeps his same familiar persona of sarcastic smart guy, but fits into this thinking man’s thriller letter perfectly. The beguiling Rebecca Hall (Iron Man 3, Transcendence) remains the heart of the piece and holds your heart in her hands even when you question her integrity. Writerproducer-director-actor Joel Edgerton (Warrior, Zero Dark Thirty) emerges as the white-hot star here, however, Gift-ing filmgoers with an atmospheric who-done-what that only gives answers when you get down to what truly makes the victims tick.

NOW PLAYING 28 A u g u s t 1 3 , 2 0 1 5

Straight Outta Compton O’Shea Jackson, Jr., Corey Hawkins In this R-rated bio-pic, rap group N.W.A. emerges from the streets of Compton, California in the mid-1980s and revolutionizes hip-hop culture with their music and tales about life in the hood. The Plus: The material. This N.W.A. story boasts the input of founding members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, who serve as producers on the film. Also, director F. Gary Gray, who helmed some classic hip hop videos by the likes of Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, Outkast and TLC, amassed an impressive roster of hits in H’Wood since breaking out with Friday (The Negotiator, Law Abiding Citizen). Any man who directed Cube’s “It Was a Good Day” AND an ace remake of The Italian Job certainly possesses the skills to pull off this epic street story. Here, he directs Cube’s real-life son Jackson as well as Paul Giamatti (The Amazing Spider-Man 2).

The Minus: The odds. Even with decent reviews, the Biggie Smalls bio-pic Notorious failed to turn the box office into a “Rapper’s Delight.”

/ENTERTAINMENT

Vacation Ed Helms, Christina Applegate HH — Holiday Rude Taking the ‘heart’ out of this trip through the heartland, the sophomoric and nasty next generation of Griswolds nearly makes a National Lampoon out of a beloved comedy series. In this R-rated follow-up to the modern comedy classic, Rusty Griswold (Helms) tries recreating the magic of the original road-trip by taking his family (Applegate, et al) on a cross-country journey to Wally World. At one point in the second act, Audrey (who, along with her brother, was a character in the original flick) reminds Rusty: “Dad flipped out because he wanted us to be close.” This line right here pretty much sums up the 2015 Vacation experience: referencing the greatness of the 1980 classic without truly understanding what made it tick. Not a shred of that movie’s true emotion ends up in this modern re-do. Chevy Chase’s Clark Griswold earnestly cared about his family, which you never once questioned even through his buffoonish antics. The often sad experience in Vacation sees actual buffoon Rusty Griswold telling — not showing — his family he loves them while putting them through some rather puerile and literally poop-covered paces.

Fantastic Four Miles Teller, Kate Mara HH — It’s Blubbering Time Fantastic nor Four-star, the latest comic book movie reboot to hit cinema screens sometimes makes for interesting viewing, but ultimately lacks the X-factor or Avengers initiative necessary to make it out-and-out Marvel-ous. In this PG-13-rated adaptation of the classic Marvel comic book, four young scientists (Teller, Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell) achieve superhuman abilities through a teleportation experiment gone haywire and return to a world in need of their new-found abilities. Neither like Batman Begins, this re-do tries anchoring the particulars of the Fantastic Four’s origin tale in reality. The problem is: The particulars of this specific comic book title simply prove too fantastical to present as believable. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight saga involves a rich, psychologically-scarred vigilante with no super powers, but this much different hero property involves a human Stretch Armstrong, a man made of rock, a racer who spontaneously bursts into flame and an invisible woman. No amount of taking a naturalistic approach is going to convince popcorn-munching moviegoers that a computer programmer gets sub-atomic powers from the fourth dimension or that somebody actually names their kid “Victor Von Doom.” Worse, an inordinate amount of time gets spent laying this groundwork to make the mechanics behind the titular foursome seem plausible. Unfortunately, this doesn’t amount to a great deal of entertainment value in the long run ... and it definitely feels like a long run. For a movie so interested in plausibility, however, the last act reeks of blockbuster schlock. From predictable deaths to shoehorning in superhero catchphrases to the big bad confrontation, it follows some familiar gamma rays down a rote rabbit hole. Worse, it nearly negates the interesting build-up that precedes it. Why flirt with realism at the outset if you’re just going to turn cornball near the end? Marvel Studios exhibits a genius knack for straddling the comic-al and true blue spectrums in their projects, tongue always in cheek. Fantastic Four just goes from one extreme to the other in what’s more of a flame-out than flameon. Though the director usually goes down with the ship, Josh Trank (who already made a believable, albeit dark, superhero tale with Chronicle) takes a fascinating approach. He spends ample time with these characters and high falutin’ ideas, which makes the third act descent into cheese seem more like studio tinkering than his own temporary lapse of reason. Moviegoers deserve to see his complete vision, especially considering the spot-on performances that result from his ace casting.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner HHH1/2 — It Takes a Nation of Millions Going Rogue works exceedingly well for this nearly 20-year-old franchise, which makes it its Mission to entertain audiences with a worthy, bombastic, stunt-filled and action-packed follow-up to series high point Ghost Protocol. In this PG-13-rated actioner, Ethan (Cruise) and team (Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) battle CIA bureaucracy and take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate — an international rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF. Just don’t think about the spycraft too much or you might self-destruct. Please understand that the story only exists to set in motion an incendiary succession of set pieces more bombastic and faint making than the last. Though Rogue Nation never reaches its predecessor’s nearly-perfectly rounded heights, however, the human and vehicular pyrotechnics make it a hugely enjoyable piece of popcorn.

Brilliantly leading the charge as always is Tom Cruise, a man so ridiculously great at his job that he makes the Impossible seem like child’s play. He’s been selling through weapons-grade fisticuffs and espionage for almost two decades now and makes it look more effortless with every passing flick.

SMALL SCREENS

Wet Hot American Summer Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce HHH1/2 — American Standard Before indulging in the star-studded prequel series now available on Netflix, revisit the offbeat laugh-riot that started it all. In this R-rated comedy set on the last day of camp in the hot summer of 1981, a group of counselors (Garofalo, et al) try to complete their unfinished business before the day ends. Written by Michael Showalter from MTV’s sketch comedy series The State, this ’80s-set comedy cast such (then) relatively unknown actors as Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks and Christopher Meloni. In fact, when the cameras starting rolling, the film’s biggest stars included Janeane Garofalo (Reality Bites) and David Hyde Pierce (NBC’s Frasier). The end result of this talented bunch banding together starts out parodying camp comedies such as 1979’s Meatballs and 1993’s Indian Summer, while skewering teen sex dramas such as 1982’s The Last American Virgin before going off in an absurd and downright hilariously bonkers direction all of its own. Off-putting at first because you don’t expect it, the movie’s sense of humor proves to be a slow reveal. The craziness kicks in more and more as the story progresses. Indeed, when this comedy begins, Wet Hot American Summer feels little more than a harmless send-up. Once the training wheels come off, however, it’s a runaway train of left field sight gags and bizarre character arcs that take the audience in an uproariously daffy wild ride. Give yourself over to it and you’ll be laughing at some of the jokes a week later — that’s a promise. Thankfully, the flick slowly amassed such a groundswell of fan adulation through home video and downloads that it became a cult classic. Now is the time to belly laugh and see why.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To ensure the full accuracy of this horoscope, I have been compelled to resurrect an old-fashioned English word that isn’t used much any more: “gambol.” It means to cavort and frolic in a playful manner, or to romp and skip around with mad glee, as if you are unable to stop yourself from dancing. The astrological omens seem unambiguous in their message: In order to cultivate the state of mind that will enable you to meet all your dates with destiny in the coming weeks, you need to gambol at least once every day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you remember your first kiss? How about the first time you had sex? Although those events may not have been perfectly smooth and graceful, they were radical breakthroughs that changed your life and altered your consciousness. Since then, there may have been a few other intimate rites of passage that have impacted you with similar intensity.

No doubt you will experience others in the future. In fact, I suspect that the next installments are due to arrive in the coming months. Get ready for further initiations in these mysteries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two-thirds of us don’t know what our strengths and talents are.

That’s the conclusion of a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology. One reason for the problem is what the report’s co-author Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener calls “strengths blindness,” in which we neglect our real powers because we regard them as ordinary or take them for granted.

Here’s the good news, Gemini: If you suffer from even a partial ignorance about the nature of your potentials, the coming months will be a favorable time to remedy that glitch. Life will conspire to help you see the truth.

telling yourself the story of your origins.

Remember all the major events of your life as if you were watching a movie.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have been slowing to a crawl as you approach an exciting transition. But I’m here to advise you to resume normal speed. There’s no need for excessive caution. You have paid your dues; you have made your meticulous arrangements; you have performed your quiet heroisms. Now it’s time to relax into the rewards you have earned. Lighten your mood, Capricorn. Welcome the onrushing peace and start planning how you will capitalize on your new freedom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Most people reach the top of the ladder of success only to find it’s leaning against the wrong wall.” Aquarian actor Paul Sorensen said that. It’s no coincidence that I’m bringing this theory to your attention right now.

The coming months will be a good time to determine whether the ladder you have been climbing is leaning against the right wall or wrong wall. My advice is to question yourself at length.

Be as objective as possible.

Swear to tell yourself the whole truth. If, after your investigations, you decide it is indeed the wrong wall, climb down from the ladder and haul it over to the right wall. And if you’re satisfied that you are where you should be, celebrate!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When he served as Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi denigrated the cuisine of Finland. “Finns don’t even know what prosciutto is,” he sneered.

At best, he said, their food is to be “endured.” He mocked the “marinated reindeer” they eat. But Finland fought back against the insults.

In an international pizza contest held in New York, their chefs won first Prize for their “Pizza Berlusconi,” a specialty pizza that featured marinated reindeer. The Italian entry finished second. I foresee you enjoying a comparable reversal in the coming months, Pisces. And it all begins now.

Up Close & personal a Mountain of art If Benjamin Adcroft has a paintbrush in his hand, he has a smile on his face. This Scranton native went to New York City to earn his degree in fine arts, but returned to the 570 with the idea of homesteading. Though oil painting was his first love, he learned the basics of woodworking to literally support his craft — first making homemade canvases and frames for his creations instead of buying them. His woodworking skills have led him to build bonfires out of natural materials for the Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces three years in a row.

He has also been recognized as the best local visual artist by Electric City and was featured in Discover magazine. Art isn’t about winning awards for Benjamin though.

“As long as I’m making something, I’m happy,” he says.

Meet Benjamin Adcroft...

Tell us about your studio.

I was in Bogart Court — an alleyway behind Lackawanna Avenue by the Renaissance 500 River — for about two years and just relocated in the past six months. I moved to Green Ridge Street. I now have a full house there, which I am renovating and turning into a larger space. I needed more room. The Bogart Court place wasn’t suiting my needs. It was too small and I need a woodshop area. I relocated to Green Ridge Street where I have a woodshop area, painting area and more storage space. It’s still in progress right now.

Is your art medium mostly composed of woodworking and painting?

Yes. I’ve worked on a lot of wood carvings. In the past year, I’ve worked on utilitarian objects like spoons, cutting boards and other similar projects.

Mostly what I was doing was creating paintings, especially large-scale oil paintings. I started diving into working with handmade materials, like homemade charcoal and locally sourced beeswax. For the most part I worked on my painting. I was getting more work from and doing more shows with my paintings. Then for a gift I got a hand carving knife set. I started carving spoons and other things out of locally sourced wood and began incorporating them into the paintings. I would try and blend the wood carvings into my paintings.

Are you participating in the Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces again?

Yes. This is my third year participating. They just asked me to come back and do it again. It’s fun. There’s a huge bonfire, a lot of bands and they have this sculptural centerpiece. Last year it was a Banshee theme. We’re still in the works figuring out what the motif is going to be this year. It’s a really cool event. This year it’s happening on Oct. 17.

Is there a certain artwork that you’re most proud of?

That’s a hard question. I’m very enthusiastic about a lot of the most recent stuff I’ve been working on. I create groups of work, almost like a series.

The most recent series is about homesteading. It was all oil painting, with the frames made out of reclaimed barn wood. They were all still lifes that were observations of objects that were related to my life and homesteading. One is a portrait of my chicken in a backyard. I also was really fond of what I did the last year I was on Bogart Court, which was a massive six-foot wolf lady painting. It was based off of vintage erotic nudes. It was in a realist style. I would have these superimposed wolf heads on women’s bodies. They were also based off of traditional blues music because I was listening to a lot of delta blues then.

Where do you draw inspiration for your art?

Depending on the series, it could have been a certain genre of music, or what my surroundings are — such as the homestead series. I can find something extremely inspiring for a period of time and then I move on to something completely dif-

ferent than that. It’s always a complete leap of faith and a different direction than what came before it. I take it through instinctual steps.

/CULTURE

How long have you been woodworking?

I started off doing basic woodworking about six or seven years ago. I needed to start making my own frame supports and canvases because I didn’t have the money to buy them. I was painting very large-scale oil paintings, about six or seven feet and I didn’t have the money to go to an art store and purchase the art frames for such large canvases. I started building my own supports and that got me involved in the basic foundation of woodworking.

More recently, with the carving set that I have and some old tools that I inherited I started to learn different woodworking techniques. In the past two years I started doing cut wood pieces with a scroll saw. I did some large wood cut pieces with Arts on the Square. I also did a huge six-foot woodcut for the Panked! Dance Party, which happens at The Bog every month. I also created a bonfire sculpture for the Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces. Because the piece was going to burn, I had to craft it out of all natural materials like wood and hay.

What is the one artist tool that you can’t live without?

It would have to be my paint brushes. I’m incredibly attached to the paintbrush. I don’t know what it is about them essentially, but it feels so natural. I’ve been painting for so long and am so attached to them.

What first attracted you to art?

I would say that I never outgrew childhood playing. When you’re a kid you have this imagination and instead of losing that while growing up, I kept that. I was surrounded by a decent amount of art when I was growing up in my grandmother’s house. Some of it even included works done by my family, because my uncle was a painter. It was something that was held in high regard. I viewed an oil painting hanging on the wall as something special at an early age.

You graduated from the school of visual arts in New York City. What made you come back to the area?

I was living in Brooklyn in an industrial loft space. My main goal was to have a dedicated space for making artwork in a studio. I was trying to make that happen out there. I think what turned me around to come back here was just the amount of space available and the lower rent prices. There’s an openness to the area. I didn’t just want to be painting out of a living room and I found the space I was looking for here.

Did you have your art displayed in New York City?

Yes. I was in a couple group shows. I had my art displayed in the Theatre Lab and the SVA West Side galleries.

Tell us about the installations of your art pieces in music festivals.

I had some large mural-style works that were commissioned. I crafted a 30-foot mural specifically for The Peach Music Festival. I did a lot of live on the site shows, where I would arrive to the festival or event and complete a full painting within the day. I did that for Arts on the Square, the Electric City Tattoo Convention and the Susquehanna Breakdown.

How do you prepare for a live painting event?

I usually prepare the support ahead of time. I generally work on a large piece, especially if I’m

You can see samples of Benjamin Adcroft’s work this weekend at The Peach Music Festival at Montage Mountain. doing it outside amongst a crowd. I bring my easel and my paint. Most of the time, I’ve just done it completely improvisational. I don’t trace out any theme or any design ahead of time and create it when I get there. Instead I improvise and draw from what’s going on around me.

What is art in current society?

To me art is everything. It’s the ability to create things, ideas and images as an expression. I think it’s the most human thing we have. It’s what separates us from everything else. It’s the most transformative thing I’ve ever experienced.

Do you have any upcoming shows?

I have a couple shows coming up in the next few months. I have both a show at The Bog as well as the bonfire piece I mentioned before in October.

I also have a two-person show in December with my girlfriend, who is a fiber artist.

What awards and recognition for your art have your received?

I won Best Local Visual Artist from the Electric City in 2013. I was featured in Discover magazine in 2007 and 2008.

Where do you advertise your future events?

My website at benjaminadcroft.com. I’m trying to get it updated and have more of an online presence or at least a shop.

What are some difficulties about being an artist?

I think the biggest one would be finding the time to do it and also the money to invest in it. I’ve found them to be the constants. Other than that, if I’m in a space where I’m making things I’m already ahead of the game. It’s trying to have that balance between finding the money to get by and having enough time to spend in the studio. It would be ideal for that to be your full time job and just create art eight hours a day, five to seven days a week.

However, it’s hard to find that kind of time. As long as I’m making something, I’m happy.

When you’re not working on your art, what do you enjoy doing?

I always enjoy being downtown and being involved in any community shows. I also enjoy my work at the pavilion at Montage. Besides that I’m maintaining my house and growing some vegetables. I’m trying to get into creating some fun objects with my woodworking, like children’s toys.

Are you working on any personal projects?

Yes. I want to buy a patch of land and have a homestead. That’s my main goal. I want to basically get off the grid. I’m doing it slowly right now.

Eventually I just want to have a large studio, a large property and live a self-sustainable lifestyle.

a Force To Be reckoned WhiFF My new boyfriend travels a lot for work. Before he left on this trip, he gave me his weird onesie lounging garment. It’s this disturbing “As Seen On TV” thing called a Forever Lazy. It’s like a fleece blanket, but with legs, a hood and a … umm …. back flap for easy bathroom access. I was hesitant about taking it, but he said, “Take it! It’s so comfy! It’s the bomb!”

Of course, I don’t wear this weird thing, but it smells just like him. I’ve found myself cuddling up with it and sniffing it. Like, a lot. And it’s not just about missing him; it’s about the smell. I feel like a serial killer! What is wrong with me?!

— I’m Weird Welcome to the decline of civilization playing out in a single garment. If a grown man who wears one of these things says something like “Let me slip into something more comfortable,” you’ve got to think, “What, the womb?”

What seems weird to me is that you’re able to have sex with a man who wears a giant romper.

What doesn’t seem weird is your sniffing Mr. Baby’s onesie. This suggests that you two might be a pretty good match, at least genetically — which isn’t to say your genes and his have lots in common. Studies

by Swiss biologist Claus Wedekind and others have found that women seem to prefer the body odor of men whose genes are dissimilar to theirs. Which sounds so hot: “Hey, baby, I love how genetically dissimilar you smell in the morning.”

It’s a set of immune system genes that matter.

They’re called the major histocompatibility complex, or MHC. “Histocompatibility” is a mouthful, yes, but it’s really just the Greek word for tissue -- “histo” — bumming a ride on “compatibility.” MHC molecules are basically immune system security guards that sound the alarm on incompatible stuff in our bodies — icky infectious microorganisms that don’t belong in our “tissue” (really, our cells). If you and a genetically similar man have kids, your combined MHC genes will only be able to recognize a very similar, limited set of trespassers. But with a genetically dissimilar man, the immune systems of any kids you have will have a much larger force of security guards, able to recognize a much broader group of icky invaders.

Regarding your onesie sniffing, the most interesting, relevant finding on MHC is by experimental psychologist Christine Garver-Apgar and evolutionary psychologist Steven Gangestad. Instead of just testing individuals as previous studies did, they tested couples. They found that as the proportion of MHC genes that couples shared increased, women were

less turned on by their partner, cheated with more men, and were more attracted to men other than their partner, especially during their most fertile time of the month.

In other words, it’s a very good thing that you’re into how this guy smells — so much so that you can overlook the fact that he’s a grown man who wears a onesie made from some fabric cousin of the airline blanket. Here’s to your living fleecily ever after with your new man. But should this not work out, remember that smell is important, and look for a man who also smells good to you — maybe even one who isn’t afraid of hard work, like the agonizing chore of pulling on both sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

FiFTy shades oF nay I’m an in-shape, intelligent, funny 35-year-old guy with a good job. I went on a date with a beautiful woman. We had a terrific time — wonderful conversation over a nice dinner. When I asked her out again, she said she thinks I am a “super-nice guy” but she just wasn’t feeling the “chemistry.” Well, it was only one date. Can chemistry grow? I’d like to see her again. I’m convinced I could sweep her off her feet if given the chance.

— Ambitious You didn’t get the job. Picketing the office isn’t going to change that.

Not feeling the “chemistry” is polite code for “I’m not physically attracted to you” (or, in really dire cases, “I’d chew through rope to avoid having sex with you”). Unfortunately, there’s no sweeping a woman off her lack of chemistry with you, though you might sweep a lesser woman off her integrity by inviting her out for a slew of free dinners. Over time, you might even charm the woman into loving you — kind of like she loves her grandma. But keep in mind that biological anthropologist Helen Fisher and other researchers find that physical attraction comes out of a person’s look, smell, and manner. In other words, persisting when a woman lets you know she isn’t attracted to you is ultimately a big ol’ losing proposition.

(You can try harder, but you can’t, say, try taller.)

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).

Now stop wasting my precious time and SOLVE!

“the annoyingest”— the titLe is the Least of your worries.
