5 great things to do this week!

‘Balancing Act’

‘Knox Mine Disaster’

On the 60th anniversary of the Knox Mine Disaster, Wyoming Seminary’s Kirby Center for Creative Arts, 260 N. Sprague Avenue, Kingston, will host the premiere screening of a documentary about the deadly 1959 incident. The program will take place Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30. The event will include a live performance by Lex Romane and a discussion with the filmmakers. Twelve men died in the disaster after the Susquehanna River broke through the surface of a mine in Port Griffith, flooding the caverns below. The cave-in resulted in a whirlpool, which rescuers tried to plug with more than 50 train cars. Tickets for the screening of “Knox Mine Disaster” cost $15, and seating is limited, so tickets must be purchased in advance. For tickets, visit knoxminedisaster.com or call 570-270-2190.

Listen to the music of Baljinder Sekhon and hear from the man himself Saturday, Jan. 19, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Pro-Cathedral, 35 S. Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre. The Northeastern Pennsylvania Chamber Music Society program “Balancing Act” will begin with a pre-concert lecture by Sekhon at 7 p.m. with the music following at 8. The program will feature Sekhon’s pieces “Balancing Act” for saxophone and guitar, “Sonata of Puzzles” for saxophone and piano and “Three Little Lights” for violin and piano as well as Aaron Copland’s “Sonata for violin and piano.” The performers will include Duo Montagnard, a pair that has performed across the world and consists of Joseph Murphy on saxophone and Matthew Slotkin on guitar. John Michael Vaida also will perform on violin with Eun-Joo Kwak on piano. Tickets cost $20 for general admission and $10 for students and seniors. For tickets or more information, visit nepacms.org or call 570-763-9323.

John Mulaney and Pete Davidson

Comedians John Mulaney and Pete Davidson will perform twice this weekend at F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, Wilkes-Barre. Shows will take place Sunday, Jan. 20, at 7 and 10 p.m. Tickets cost $48, plus fees, and are available at the box ofﬁce, 570-826-1100 and kirbycenter.org. Mulaney has written for “Saturday Night Live,” has released several comedy albums and has won three Emmy awards. He most recently voiced Peter Porker/Spider-Ham in the ﬁlm “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Davidson currently stars on “Saturday Night Live,” which he joined in 2014, and also has appeared on numerous other television shows. The use of cellphones, smart watches, cameras and recording devices is not allowed during the show, and guests must secure all devices in Yondr pouches upon arriving. The pouches then will be unlocked when the show ends.

Lady Gaga’s beauty line takes step forward

ady Gaga’s Haus Beauty is coming. And we have proof. My very good friend (who has no idea we’re friends, but I’m pretty sure she would be my friend if she knew me), Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — or Lady Gaga — is launching a beauty line. And we just got CONCRETE proof it’s happening sooner rather than later. Earlier this month, fans spotted that t h e we b s i t e f o r H a u s B e a u t y, t h e r umored name of the line, had launched. The all-black site has a box to enter your email address, which no doubt will subscribe you to Haus Beauty’s blast list. If you’re a Gaga fan or a beauty fan, I would get yourself over there immediately to sign up. Her 33rd birthday is March 28, and I am PRAYING she releases the line around that time. If not, it might be a fall launch, like Fenty Beauty in 2017. In the spring, super fans noticed her company, Ate My Heart Inc., quietly filed for a trademark on “Haus Beauty,” which makes perfect sense considering Haus of Gaga is her collaborative with artists, designers and other creatives. We’re not going to be disappointed, either. While the trademark covered cosmetics such as lipsticks and eyeshadows, it also included rights to everything from beauty tools to skin care products. Like Fenty, Haus Beauty might start with a selection of certain products first and roll out new items over time. Fine with us. We love a healthy amount of SKUs. I make no secret of my love for Lady Gaga. I’ve never watched any of her performances, live or recorded, without crying. The way she’s so unapologetically herself is inspiring, but what really moves me is the way she would die for her craft. If she creates it, she puts her entire being into it.

If her music and performances are any indication, her cosmetics line is going to be incredible. Fingers crossed we hear more news in the coming weeks.

On the red carpet Speaking of Lady Gaga, it’s award season, and that means it’s time for red carpet looks. Lady Gaga had one of my favorite beauty moments from last week’s Golden Globe awards. Enveloped in periwinkle, she shined with icy blue color in her hair (that matched her Valentino Couture gown), a metallic blue smoky eye and a frosted nude lip. It was dreamy, edgy and perfect for her. I love obsessively scrolling through Instagram and Twitter, seeing my feed filled with celebrities, makeup artists and hairstylists getting ready for the big night. On the 2019 Golden Globe red carpet, I saw a TON of celebs dressed in shades of blue and green. And, like Lady Gaga, everyone seemed to have very matchy-matchy makeup. Beauty, like fashion, starts at the top of the food chain, and I predict we’re going to see LOTS of makeup (re: eyeshadow palettes) in shades of dreamy Cinderella blue, tropical green, icy silver and more cooltoned shades trickle down to our favorite brands in 2019 and 2020. We also should expect some monochromatic sets, too. (Hi, MAC Cosmetics’ newest drop, the Monochromatic Collection.) Check out my other favorite looks from the Globes: Hailie Sahar, Indya Moore, Lupita Nyong’o, Camilla Belle, Janelle Monáe, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lili Reinhart, M.J. Rodriguez, Cody Fern, Constance Wu, Laura Harrier, Amber Heard, Gemma Chan, Alison Brie, Thandie Newton, Emmy Rossum, Danai Gurira and Lucy Boynton. Did you have any favorite Golden Globes beauty looks? Let me know at gmazur@ timesshamrock.com, @gmazur tt on Twitter or @miss.gia.m on Instagram.

Haystacks Restaurant delivers in family-friendly atmosphere BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

s he g rew up in Swoyersville, David C. Joseph got to know the restaurant industry thanks to the small chain of eateries his family owned from Scranton to Berwick. He learned all about hard work and watched some businesses flourish while doing every kind of job in the field. Eventually, Joseph’s family sold off a property on Wilkes-Barre Twp. Boulevard, and when the new owners went out of business, the building sat vacant for a time until Joseph reclaimed it and created his own concept. After extensive renovations and redesign to create a cozy atmosphere, Haystacks Restaurant & Catering

debuted, 21 years ago as of Jan. 10. The Wilkes-Barre restaurant offers classic American fare and comfort foods with creative twists thanks to the dedicated staff headed by Joseph, the chef/owner. “I still jump in uniform and get on the line,” he said. “The crew likes it. So much of the staff has been with me since the day we opened, which is so amazing. God’s been good and blessed me with people who care.” The menu — which stretches seven pages long just for breakfastandanadditionalseven pages for lunch and dinner — includes everything from Lobster Tail to Angus Burgers to 22 omelette varieties. “It’s probably one of the biggest menus around,” Joseph said. “It requires

extensive knowledge.” With Haystacks, Joseph aims to offer a family-friendly spot, devoid of a bar, with the kind of service not found in chain restaurants. Likewise, the cooking is “honest, fresh and all from scratch,” he noted. “We walk in at 5:30 a.m., and the soup you eat at noon was made that morning,” Joseph said. “We roast our own turkeys, cook our own steaks. We cook; we don’t push buttons. When you have honest chefs working with you, there’s no limit to what you can do. They stay creative and have passion.” Standouts on the breakfast menu include the half-dozen types of Eggs Benedict and the Bacon-Pagash Omelette, while the Jamaican French

Toast “smells like candy when it walks across the room,” Joseph said. Lunch and dinner stars include the Bruschetta Chicken, the Stacked Meatloaf and the burgers, especially the Tough Texan, which comes topped with barbecued beef brisket, and the Bloomin’, topped with crispy onion rings and petal sauce. Daily, Haystacks features its signature soup, the Loaded

Baked Potato, which Joseph described as “almost a meal in itself,” and guests always try to leave room for the decadent desserts, like the Coconut Cake paired with fresh raspberries and blueberries. Haystacks seats about 120 and offers catering on- and off-premises, from simple holiday house parties to full weddings. The greatest feather in Joseph’s cap as a restaurateur came in 2017 when Hay-

stacks catered a Richard Gere film festival fundraiser in Montrose the actor and activist attended. Being tapped for the food service and receiving great praise for a job well done was a career highlight, Joseph said with pride. But it’s the everyday people who become loyal customers, and even friends, that keep Joseph and his staff — whom he frequently refers to as his “all-stars” — at the top of their game. “We go through real training with our people,” Joseph said. “The staff is the most important part of who we are. I still love it when I walk in each morning.” Contact the writer: pwilding@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9100 x5369; @pwildingtt on twitter

Up Close & Personal WITH EMMA BLACK

Meet Jessica Bredbenner...

Q: A:

Describe Tiddlywinks Boutique and the variety of services it offers. It started with just the camper. My vision of this was to have something totally unique to the area and give girls this unique experience. At least 75 percent of the business is private parties, so moms will book birthday parties for their daughters. I also do public parties so moms or grandmothers can bring their daughter. We do princess-themed tea parties, and for older girls, we do what we call “makeover balls,” which are themed makeup, hair and a craft. They can dress up in as many costumes as they want, and we do fashion shows.

Jessica Bredbenner is the owner and founder of Tiddlywinks Boutique, a children’s clothing store in Dunmore, which also offers birthday party services. Her storefront was preceded by a Tiddlywinks camper that has allowed her to take her services to various locations. She was inspired to create the camper after seeing a mobile store parked in front of a mall while she lived in Oregon. Bredbenner is a graduate of West Scranton High School and Marywood University, where she studied marketing. She and her fiance David live in Dallas with their 3-yearold daughter.

Winter in the City cocktail parties to benefit Scranton projects

BY GRACE PERECHINSKY Staff Writer

t’s that time of year for the “new year, new me” resolutions, and the 15th annual Winter in the City cocktail fundraiser can help everyone start off right by giving back to their community. “The evening is a feel-good event that provides the opportunity for people to get out of the house after the holidays and shake off their cabin fever,” said Joshua Mast, coowner of POSH at the Scranton Club and event chairman. POSH, 404 N. Washington Ave., will host the charitable events Fridays, Jan. 18 and Feb. 8, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Admission costs $20, and all proceeds will go to Scranton Tomorrow’s small-business promotional initiatives, such as a new maintenance program to be established downtown in the spring, new banners and replacement planters. Complementary beer and wine is provided, and a cash bar also will be available. Attendees can get a taste of 20-plus Scranton restaurants with menus ranging from pizza, pasta and salads to wings, desserts and much more. “We have such a variety of vendors in hopes that our guests will feel inclined to visit them on their own free time,” Mast said. Paul LaBelle and the Exact Change, a nine-piece ensemble, will provide the entertainment for January’s party. In a silent auction, guests can win gift cards from local businesses, baskets, artwork and more. February’s Winter in the City, meanwhile, will tie into a Valentine’s Day theme.

Scranton Tomorrow has other projects in its sights that could benefit from the fundraisers, including a pocket park at Wyoming Avenue and Linden Street set to be completed by 2020 and a new event, Electric City Cycling, that will be held Friday, Aug. 24, and Saturday, Aug. 25. The latter event will include a community-friendly ride for all forms of bicycling on the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail and a twilight ride. With POSH’s location in the city, just a block from Lackawanna County Courthouse Square, Mast noted, people who attend the party also can wander around the downtown and see what Scranton is all about. “We have regulars and new attendees that trickle in every year to support,” he said. “It’s important to engage the community and bring everyone together to grow as one.” Contact the writer: gperechinsky@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9127

FILM

‘Vice’ a darkly funny, absurdist biopic of former VP Cheney

magine a no-credits screening of “Vice” for 100 people who had no idea who was playing Dick Cheney in this political satire. I wonder how many would figure out it’s Christian Bale — tall, chiseled-cheekboned, lean, British Christian Bale — expertly capturing the look and the mannerisms and the speech patterns of the short, paunchy, balding, spectacles-wearing American politician, business exec and master manipulator. As we’ve long known, Bale is an enormously talented Method actor who relishes the opportunity to transform himself in the name of the performance. Whether it’s dropping an alarming amount of weight or beefing up or perfecting a dialect or disappearing under wigs and facial hair and prosthetics, he’ll do whatever it takes to become the character. In Adam McKay’s freeranging, tone-shifting, darkly funny, super-meta, hit-andmiss, absurdist biopic “Vice,” Bale nails it as the resilient, backstabbing, front-stabbing, ruthlessly ambitious Cheney. He looks like Cheney, he talks like Cheney, he walks like Cheney and he IS Cheney. That would be perfect for a recurring role on “Saturday Night Live” circa 2004, but in a feature-length film, Bale’s performance often comes across as more of an impersonation than a fully realized performance. He’s so dedicated to mimicking every last tic and idiosyncrasy, there are times when it feels like he’s playing to the audience instead of genuinely interacting with other people in the room. There are also times when Bale is absolutely brilliant and hilarious and stunningly effective. Like the film itself, the performance is sometimes great and sometimes so deliberately outlandish, it feels like an Oliver

‘Vice’ RICHARD ROEPER

Movie critic

Stone Lite production. Writer-director McKay, who struck comedic gold with classic Will Ferrell vehicles such as “Anchorman” and “Talladega Nights” and then elevated his game with “The Big Short” (winning the Academy Award along with his co-writer for best adapted screenplay), doubles down on the flights of fancy and stylized storytelling devices he employed in the latter film. About halfway through the movie, he even indulges in an alternative universe version of Cheney’s story that has him retiring as a wealthy businessman and enjoying a quiet, controversy-free life filled with fishing and family. But then it’s back to reality — or at least this deliberately farcical take on real-world, globally impactful events that

Stars: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell Rated: R for language and some violent images Running time: 132 min. Grade: ★★★ (out of four)

were often bizarre and outrageous and infuriating and horrifyingly tragic in and of themselves without embellishment. In the relatively conventional early sequences set in the early 1960s, “Vice” reminds us young Dick Cheney was a party animal and aimless screwup, much like the young George W. Bush. After flunking out of Yale and returning home to Wyoming, Cheney found work as a lineman, spent nearly every night getting drunk and got busted twice for DUIs, at which point his smart, nononsense, ambitious wife, Lynne (Amy Adams), gave him an ultimatum, saying either he would clean up his act and make something of

himself, or she would be gone. Boom! Within a decade, Cheney is in Washington, D.C., hitching his political wagon to Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell). He maneuvers his way into becoming White House chief of staff in the Ford administration, six-time congressman for Wyoming and secretary of defense for most of President George H.W. Bush’s term before leaving politics to become chairman and CEO of Halliburton Co. “Vice” tracks these developments — and Cheney’s return to the political arena as W’s VP — in crazy-quilt, time-hopping fashion. Jesse Plemons plays a working-class everyman who serves as the direct-to-camera narrator of the story and seems to have zero connection to Cheney’s life, until we finally learn how their paths cross. Naomi Watts is a cable news anchor who addresses us directly to discuss the madness and corruption behind certain world-changing events in the aftermath of 9/11.

We get a steady stream of cameos from an all-star gallery of gifted performers, some of them straining to execute plausible facial expressions beneath all the makeup and prosthetics, as Cabinet members and political operatives and diplomats. Tyler Perry as Colin Powell, LisaGay Hamilton as Condoleezza Rice, Justin Kirk as Scooter Libby, Eddie Marsan as Paul Wolfowitz, and so on and so on. Sam Rockwell is a hoot as George W. Bush, who is all too eager to accept Cheney’s proposition that the vice president take charge of the complicated and boring stuff like foreign policy and budgetary concerns and intelligence, so the president can focus on more important things like, I don’t know, throwing out ceremonial first pitches. McKay chooses to skewer Cheney by tickling him with a feather. (Even Cheney’s multiple heart attacks are played mostly for laughs, although there’s something almost endearing about Cheney’s low-key way of announcing to the room there’s a problem, as if he just spilled coffee on his tie.) Still, it’s an almost wall-towall pummeling of Cheney, save for the scenes depicting him as a devoted husband and a father who reacts to his daughter Mary (Alison Pill) coming out as a lesbian by embracing her and saying he loves her and he’ll always be there for her. As McKay acknowledges in the introduction, Dick Cheney remains an enigma after all these years. I’m not sure “Vice” sheds any new light on the Cheney story. It places him in a spotlight that continually changes colors and tones but is almost never flattering. RICHARD ROEPER reviews movies for The Chicago SunTimes.

BY CAITLIN HEANEY WEST STAFF WRITER

Hit the water, but don’t forget your wetsuit. Canoers and kayakers once again can take to the Lackawanna River for a chilly ride through Scranton as part of the annual ShiverFest, which raises money for Lackawanna River Conservation Association. The event will take place Saturday, Jan. 19, with the Extreme Kayak/Canoe Race starting at noon and an after-party following from 2 to 5 p.m. at Backyard Ale House, 523 Linden St., Scranton. The race will kick off at the Parker Street Landing (off East Parker Street in Green Ridge) and end at Sweeney’s Beach just off Green Street in the Pine Brook neighborhood. LRCA Executive Director Bernard McGurl called the race “a lot of fun to watch.” “We get about 50 participants on the water, so you’re going to see 50 boats getting paddled down the Lackawanna River in the middle of winter,” he added. “And it’s right through the heart of Scranton, so there’s plenty of room to see it on any of the flood control levees. ... There’s lots

of places to see it.” As for those on the water, they seem to enjoy the opportunity to “get out and meet up with some friends and do some crazy wintertime kayaking,” McGurl said, noting that some participants in the past have dressed in costume. Racers must be 18 or older and provide their own watercraft and gear. Race participants can register the day of ShiverFest, but McGurl encourages them to do so in advance. “We strongly recommend that they have a wetsuit or a drysuit (on), because the water temperature is down in the 30s, and it will get hypothermic if they get in the water,” McGurl said. Organizers will have a campfire going at the finish line to kickstart the thawing, and then the fun continues at Backyard Ale House, where guests can warm up and enjoy food, drinks, basket raffles, a 50/50 drawing and camaraderie. The race costs $30 per racer and includes admission to the thaw party. Spectators can view the race for free, but admission to the party for non-racers will cost $20. “We’re hoping to raise a few hundred dollars at the thaw party,” McGurl said.

Proceeds from ShiverFest benefit LRCA, which recently moved its offices to a former church and rectory in North Scranton, which McGurl said “need lots of moder nization and repairs and upgrades.” That includes electrical work and some recent plumbing fixes. “We just did a Giving Tuesday project for our ... program, but (this fundraiser) is going into the general fund, and we really need it because we don’t have a lot of grants at the present time,” McGurl said.

The organization also is working on some bigger cleanup projects along the river, is encouraging local municipalities to unite to create a municipal stormwater authority and is “actively engaged in acquiring some new parcels of land, and that will help further development of the (Lackawanna River) Heritage Trail and our partners,” McGurl said — all projects that could benefit from ShiverFest.

don’t think about it too much. I certainly don’t. This is the time of year that I like to indulge in those rich, big beers. It is open season on barley wines and imperial brews with extra points if it’s aged in a wooden barrel. I like ’em boozy and smokey with thick, chewy bodies. If it burns a little going down, all the better. This week, I’m drinking New Holland Brewing’s Dragon’s Milk straight from the lovely state of Michigan. This high-fantasy brew is an imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels. That statement alone is pretty much all I ever Barre. 570-826-1100 or kirbycenter. org. Justin Moore, Thursday, Feb. 14.

wanted in a beer. As you likely know, imperial means that it packs a punch in the alcohol department. Stouts and IPAs are most likely to get that treatment, with the imperial versions being more boozy than the norm. Add some barrel-aged goodness to that, and it’s very promising. The thick, syrupy pour had just the tiniest amount of head that disappeared right after I saw it. It was thick enough that it left lacing but heavy enough that it didn’t cling to the glass for too long. It looked like the dark, murky brown of a cola. The scent pleased the nose.

First off, the bourbon really came forward and was quite exciting. There was no question that it was aged in those charred barrels. It also had notes of banana, roasted malt, booze and caramel. I could only sniff it so many times before I had to quaff it. The taste really hit all my buttons. There was bitter roast up front followed by milk chocolate. After that came the boozy burn and bourbon notes. It was certainly a bit smoky. The vanilla and caramel rounded it out nicely. While it did have some sweetness to it, the dark roast of this brew kept it from being nutt, Joe Difﬁe and Neal McCoy, Saturday, Feb. 23, 8 p.m. Penn’s Peak, 325 Maury Road, Jim Thorpe. $29 regular/$34 premium. 570-3250371 or pennspeak.com.

too much like chocolate milk. It certainly had a creaminess, however. The name Dragon’s Milk makes a lot of sense after drinking it thanks to its velvety textured and the way it burns going down. This really is one of my favorite types of brews. New Holland got it right. Dragon’s Milk is bold, sweet and goes down like a boozy cigar. At 11 percent ABV, that 22-ounce bottle will go a long way. I’m halfway through it, and I’m already feeling warm and cozy. Personally, this is a great way to chase away the January blues. It’s a good beer to hibernate with.

he holidays are over. All that is left is darkness, cold and, apparently, rain. Spring is a faraway dream. Thoughts of warm, sunny days are a delusion, a memory that may have never happened. What better time to drink some beer? I’m pretty sure it’s hibernation season. Since most of us likely have jobs that keep us from sleeping off the rest of winter like overstuffed bears, beer might be the next best option. It’s warming, and it has alcohol. I like to think of it like a blanket that gets me drunk. I know, there is a lot to unpack there, but

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK Turn to Jumilla for break from mass-produced wines

pain continues to be a source of quality wines at great bargains. Recently, I took a look at Jumilla, a small region in southeast Spain that captures a combination of continental and maritime climates, offering more opportunities for wine producers. Jumilla’s red wines are founded on grape varieties and styles that are pretty familiar and generally barrel-aged. The main grape in the region is monastrell, the Spanish name for the common Rhône red mourvèdre. Throughout history and to the present, the wine industries of France and Spain have cross-pollinated. With a blend of tradition with a modern approach, Jumilla of fers a g reat respite from mass-produced domestic wines. An irresistible deal, Bodegas Ego “Fuerza” 2015 Jumilla is mostly monastrell

topped off with 25 percent cabernet sauvignon. This flavorful wine shows overripe raspberry with caramel and vanilla from 12 months of aging in French and American oak barrels. The wine wraps up with a light finish. It is a must-try for the price. $10. ★★★★ 1/2 The flavorful, light and lively Bodegas San Isidro “Gémina” Jumilla 2015 Monastrell shows character of black raspberry, pepper, spice and balsamic with tight tannins. $15. ★★★ 1/2 Spain has an array of wine regions that are easy to discern when shopping. Instead of hunting for the region on the labels, you can look for the trade stamp typically found on the back of the bottle with the region and logo. GRADE: Exceptional ★★★★★, Above average ★★★★, Good ★★★, Below average ★★, Poor ★. DAVID FALCHEK, executive director of the American Wine Society, reviews wines each week.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS Rock sequels sure bets for entertainment White Denim — ‘Performance’ THE GOOD: Eclectic Austin, Texas, rock band White Denim regroups and re-energizes for its seventh. THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: Produced by their own damn selves in their very own space, “Performance” finds the band stretching out musically and having one hell of a good time doing so. The guys calmed down for a stretch, but no more. One now detects echoes of glam riding atop an authentic Southern funk/soul combination, all mixed up with touches of studio playfulness. Think Beck hooking up with the Black Keys while some early Bowie crackles in the background. It’s a trippy mix, yet “Performance” is more focused than you would expect; the songs are airtight poppers set against colorful backdrops. It’s the melding of two worlds — a band unafraid of experimentation and mind expansion that also understands the appeal of a good, old-fashioned party record. “Performance” exists for the brain AND body. So crawl into this space, and do whatever you feel. Think, move, devour. BUY IT? I would.

The Dodos — ‘Certainty Waves’ THE GOOD: San Francisco indie duo Dodos (vocalist/guitarist Meric Long and drummer Logan Kroeber) plugs in for its seventh. THE BAD: A slight shift in overall sound, but nothing BAD. THE NITTY GRITTY: The band’s core still leans toward the organic and acoustic, yet Long is more open to the electric on this set. “Waves” is much more abrasive and tougher-sounding than past records. Heavy? Not exactly, but certainly louder and multi-layered. Long makes his electric guitar sound like a bunch of different instruments across the top while Kroeber bangs, taps and kicks out a variety of world rhythms underneath. At times, “Waves” comes off like a stranger take on Vampire Weekend; Long never forgets that a great hook or sweeping melody can cut through jagged riffs and pounding beats. So the record works on a few levels. We’re given wildly experimental post-punk, math rock and indie pop all tossed together in the same hyper brew. It’s a tasty combination. BUY IT?: Surely.

Cloud Nothings — ‘Last Building Burning’ THE GOOD: Ohio indie rock group Cloud Nothings cranks out a visceral fifth. THE BAD: Other than wandering track “Dissolution,” which never seems to end, “Burning” is a focused affair with purpose. No real complaints. THE NITTY GRITTY: After 2017’s slightly reserved “Life Without Sound,” Cloud Nothings brings all its forceful energy back for the new record. Frontman/guitarist and band mastermind Dylan Baldi is fed up and frustrated, screaming out hooks atop jagged riffs and crashing backbeats. (“I wish I could believe in your dream.”) That’s this band’s main strength. Even when it sounds as if matters are spiraling out of control and pent-up aggressions are exploding all over the room, the melodies break through the din. Tracks such as “Leave Him Now” and “Another Way of Life” display hardcore tendencies but remain guitar-based rock songs at their center. And since Cloud Nothings essentially started out as a Baldi solo project, “Burning” only continues the tightening and strengthening of the now proper band. BUY IT?: Yes.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1917, leaders of the Christian sect Jehovah’s Witnesses prophesied that all earthly governments would soon disappear and Christianity would perish. In 1924, they predicted that the ancient Hebrew prophet Moses would be resurrected and speak to people everywhere over the radio. In 1938, they advised their followers not to get married or have children, because the end of civilization was nigh. In 1974, they said there was only a “short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” I bring these failed predictions to your attention so as to get you in the mood for my prediction, which is: all prophecies that have been made about your life up until now are as wrong as the Jehovah Witnesses’ visions. In 2019, your life will be bracingly free of old ideas about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You will have unprecedented opportunities to prove that your future is wide open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Movie critic Roger Ebert defined the term “idiot plot” as “any film plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the characters were not idiots.” I bring this to your attention because I suspect there has been a storyline affecting you that in some ways fits that description. Fortunately, any temptation you might have had to go along with the delusions of other people will soon fade. I expect that as a result, you will catalyze a surge of creative problem-solving. The idiot plot will transform into a much smarter plot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1865, Prussia’s political leader, Otto von Bismarck, got angry when an adversary, Rudolf Virchow, suggested cuts to the proposed military budget. Bismarck challenged Virchow to a duel. Virchow didn’t want to fight, so he came up with a clever plan. As the challenged p a r t y, h e w a s authorized to choose the weapons to be used in the duel.

My friend just joined a dating site for elite crea t i ve p r o f e s s i o n a l s . Unfortunately, it grabs your age from Facebook, so you can’t shave off years. At 50, she’s outside of most men’s search parameters — even older men’s. What gives? — Concerned Aging is especially unkind to straight women on dating sites. At a certain point (usually age 46 on), women find their options narrowed to men who wear jewelry — the kind that sends the message, “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” A study by psychologist Jan Antfolk and his colleagues looked at sex differences in the preferred age of romantic partners. They found — as have other researchers — that “women are interested in same-aged to somewhat older men” throughout their lives. Men, on the other hand, “show a tendency to be sexually interested in women in their mid-twenties,” a preference that emerges in their teen years and (sorry, ladies!) remains consistent as men age. And age. And age. Men’s continuing attraction to 20-something women makes evolutionary sense, as, the researchers note, “the highest fertility” in women “has been estimated to occur in the midtwenties.” However, when older men are asked to think practically — when asked not which women are running naked through their mind at the checkout stand but whom they’d have a relationship with — women more similar in age have a s h o t . Fo r e x a m p l e ,

research led by evolutionary social psychologist Abraham Buunk found that “men of 60 years old would marry a woman of 55.” Unfortunately, the online dating world — with the seemingly endless stream of hot 20-something women — is not exactly fertile ground for practicality and realism. It isn’t that men on dating sites who are aging into the grandpa zone could necessarily get the 20-something chickies. But I suspect that these women’s mere presence — hordes and hordes of them — has what’s called an “anchoring effect.” T his is a ter m from research on decision-making by psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. They found that a person’s “initial exposure” (to a particular price, for example) “serves as a reference point and influences subsequent judgments about value.” Accordingly, in online dating, I suspect there’s a reference point that gets set — and it is 22 and bombshellicious and has yet to have a whole lot of meaningful contact with gravity.

Debt valley I’m a single chick in my early 30s, and I’m having financial difficulties. I got laid off, and depressingly, it’s really h a rd t o f i n d wo rk . Though I want to talk to my friends about it, I’m afraid they’d think I was trying to borrow money, so I’ve been keeping to myself. — Unemployed When you’ve been unemp l oye d fo r a wh i l e, i t becomes awkward to propose get-togethers: “Hey, wanna go out on Friday night for a glass of air?”

However, avoiding your friends is probably making things worse — or at least keeping you from feeling better — because social relationships seem to buffer stress, including stress from one’s currently grim “socioeconomic status.” This term, explains social p s ych o l o g i s t E m i ly D. Hooker, refers to “an individual’s relative rank in society based on their income, education and employment.” Hooker noted that lower socioeconomic status — whether measured by such things as income and occupational prestige or mere perception of one’s own status — is associated with higher mortality and poorer health. (Great, huh? You’re not only short on cash; you’re being rushed into an urn.) But there’s good news from Hooker’s research. When participants were exposed to social stress in a lab situation, those who perceived themselves to have lower socioeconomic status but felt they had social support from others in their lives had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol (as compared with those with a more “Eek! I’m all alone!” orientation). As for you, guess what: People who care about you want to know what’s going on with you. Ask your friends to join you in activities that don’t cost money, like gallery openings, and they’ll get that you’re just looking for company, not moocher-tunities. You really can have both the support and fun of friendship and a bank account that resembles one of those shells of a building in the Old West with a few tumbleweeds blowing through it.

Psycho Sudoku

Puzzles

“Greater-Than Sudoku” For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not givin’ you ANY numbers to start off with!! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as with a normal Sudoku, every row, column and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box ﬁrst, then move on to the 2s and 8s, and so on).
