/MUSIC

SOUNDS

THE MODERN MASTERS

DEPECHE MODE – Spirit THE GOOD: British synthpop legend Depeche Mode comes back with a highly politicized fourteenth.

THE BAD: While “Spirit” may be very potent lyrically, it’s somewhat lukewarm musically.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Since 1997’s “Ultra,” the band has been a trio releasing an album and touring the world behind it every four years like clockwork. Here in the States, that cycle coincides with the year we either swear in a new President, or at least re-inaugurate one.

This time, the new record em-

BLONDIE – Pollinator THE GOOD: American new wave legends and Hallof-Famers Blondie come back with their eleventh.

THE BAD: The record loses some of its drive across the second half, but remains a massive improvement over 2014’s scattershot “Ghosts of Download.”

THE NITTY GRITTY: Usually when a band uses

braces the current unrest; “Spirit” was written and recorded in the era of Brexit and our own wacky presidential election. Martin Gore writes and Dave Gahan sings about our de-evolution (“Going Backwards”) and complacency (“Where’s the Revolution”). The corporate greed running through “Poorman” feels like the second coming of “Everything Counts.” “Fail” ends the record in a fit of frustration.

Too bad the musical style on the album sometimes feels like a rerun. 2017 can sound an awful lot like 2005, 2009 and 2013 all over again.

BUY IT?: Your choice. outside collaborators and writers, that’s a sure sign the “well is running dry”; the end results tepid at best. However, the outside help in this case may have been just what Blondie needed in order to churn out that great new wave record we all knew was still there.

Joan Jett swings by to add harmonies to the Debbie Harry/Chris Stein original “Doom or Destiny.” Johnny Marr pens the haunting and super-infectious “My Monster.” Other songwriting assistance comes from the likes of Sia, the Strokes’ Nick Valensi and TV on the Radio’s David Sitek. No partnership sounds out of place; the album never shedding a certain consistency. Plus, despite turning 72 this summer, Debbie Harry remains a captivating force out in front.

BUY IT?: Yes.

proper album and first in almost two decades.

THE BAD: Some tracks are re-recordings of songs originally found on side projects and solo efforts. But those are only “repeats” for the absolute completists.

THE NITTY GRITTY: “Damage” ends up a standard JAMC set — catchy melodies on the upbeat tracks, thick stoner vibes on the slower bits, layers of guitar feedback and distortion (a little less than the old days), and the occasional female guest adding some much welcome vocal interplay. Visitors this time include the lovely Isobel Campbell (formerly of Belle & Sebastian) and the Reid’s younger sister Linda Fox. As usual, there’s also plenty of deadpan sarcasm and cheeky shock value within the lyrics.

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN Whether it’s the false patriotism painted across – Damage and Joy “Los Feliz (Blues and Greens)” or off-handed Kurt THE GOOD: Scottish indie Cobain murder theories on “Simian Split,” the duo JAMC (actually forever feud- Reids love making us snicker. ing brothers Jim and William BUY IT?: I would.

Acoustic Artist socioEmpAth sings thE story of hEr lifE Alex Kijek performs as a one-woman acoustic show under the stage name SocioEmpath. The newly accepted graduate student will attend Marywood University in the fall, but a busy schedule hasn’t stopped her from writing her own music and playing her guitar in venues around Northeast Pennsylvania. Kijek’s mellow tunes tell the stories of the ups and downs in her life, a testament to her stage name.

“SocioEmpath takes both empathy and sociopath and puts them together, and they’re basically opposites. It’s a play on how I often find myself in one extreme or the other with a lot of things. I’m never really in the middle,” the 24-year-old said.

Now ready to take on the local music scene, she never settles for just the middle.

Q: How did you get involved in music?

A: I almost got involved in music by accident.

There was a local Girl Scout camp I went to every summer, Camp Louise. I signed up for a particularly unpopular program when I was 12, and it got canceled. I was told I could either get a refund or pick another program. I elected to go to a two-week program that taught guitar skills. I attended that program again every summer until the camp closed.

Q: What do you remember about the first time you performed in public?

A: I remember being really nervous, but what really stands out is that when I was “done” with

what I planned on playing, I was asked to keep going. It was basically because the next band wasn’t ready yet, but it was still pretty flattering.

Q: What is the process like for writing your music?

A: Usually a melody and lyrics just pop into my head, just like two to four lines, and I expand from there.

Q: How have you changed as a musician over the years?

A: I’ve gotten a lot more confident, and that’s awesome. I went from playing my songs because maybe people might like them to playing because I like my own songs.

Q: What are some of your favorite memories as a musician?

A: My personal favorite memory was long before I started playing shows. My best friend and I wanted to do music stuff, we were both 13 or 14, so neither

of us drove. He lived like 40 minutes away from me, so we would try to play together through the phone.

There was always a delay, so we were never on time together, but it was fun.

Q: How has the NEPA music scene changed over the years?

A: Even though I haven’t been playing shows for a long time, I’ve been going to them for the last ten years. One thing I’ve really seen change is musical accessibility for underage kids. I was really lucky, I grew up going to shows at Cafe Metropolis (in Wilkes-Barre), and kids now don’t really have a steady place to go to shows. But having the internet develop more, and having more music websites and things has kept kids in the loop. I guess now, mostly, if you’re under 21, you don’t go to the music, you have to make it come to you.

Q: Who has influenced you over the years?

A: This is a tough question. I really don’t know.

Not much of what I enjoy listening to really influences what I play, and I’ve never had any influence like, telling me to keep at it or anything. I’m pretty self-motivated.

Q: What is the biggest challenge?

A: Balancing my schedule. I work, and I dance the Joan Harris Center in Luzerne. I have been dancing there since I was 3 years old, doing ballet, tap, jazz and modern dance, and still do round 12 hours a week. I’ll be going to grad school in the fall to get my Ed.S. in school psychology. I’m also an avid reader and gamer, so I have to schedule in time to play or write music just to be able to get it all done.

Q: What are your future goals as a musician?

A: I like to think in terms of near future, so probably getting myself recorded decently and releasing a album.

“The Bad Batch”

“THE Bad BaTcH” HH

British model-actress Suki Waterhouse is Arlen, a spunky and resourceful lass dumped into the desert with nothing but a jug of water. It doesn’t take long before Arlen is hunted down, drugged and dragged to a settlement camp where she is Start with the “Mad Max” franchise, add certain chained up — and cannibals amputate an arm and films by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, a leg to serve as that evening’s main course.

Arlen manages to escape, and she sets out You’ve got “The Bad Batch.” for the community of Comfort, a supposedly safe After making an indie splash with the “Iranian haven for all. vampire Western” film “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Jim Carrey, sporting a beard of post-retirement Night” in 2014, the talented writer-director Ana Lily Letterman-esque proportions, wanders into the Amirpour raises the crazy stakes with a well-made, movie as a silent drifter and possible sage pushing sometimes darkly funny and at times bizarrely a shopping cart around the desert. OK. entertaining film that eventually falls apart due to Jason Momoa (of “Game of Thrones,” and the directorial self-indulgence, excessive grotesquery, current big-screen Aquaman) is Miami Man, who a bloated running time, too many half-baked mespresides over the cannibalistic Bridge People, many sages, and let’s not forget the distractingly campy of whom are dedicated, iron-pumping bodybuilders appearances by Keanu Reeves and Jim Carrey. just like their leader. Arlen saves Miami Man’s little “The Bad Batch” is set in a dystopian future girl (Jayda Fink), but that doesn’t necessarily mean (if you set your movie in the future, it’s practically Miami Man doesn’t want to capture and eat Arlen.

fueled by hedonism and self-medication. The world has gone to pieces and the end is near, so why not party away your despair?

Sporting a black wig, late-Elvis sunglasses and an oversized mustache, Keanu Reeves looks like a drug lord or a cult leader as Rockwell, the leader of the community. (Turns out he’s both.) Rockwell presides over LSD-fueled parties, and yes, that’s Diego Luna as the DJ blasting the EDM to keep the masses dancing and happy.

Oh, and there’s Giovanni Ribisi, whose seemingly mad ramblings of course contain some deep truths and insight into how it all went wrong for America.

Visually, “The Bad Batch” is striking. The cinematography, the costumes, the set designs are creative and unique. Writer-director Amirpour creates some neat shots where we can see things coming before Arlen does.

Suki Waterhouse is at best underwhelming in the lead role. When called upon to convey great pain or deliver a convincing line reading at a crucial moment, she comes across as an acting student trying too hard to please her instructor.

“The Bad Batch” has all the ingredients necessary for a minor cult classic, but it’s tough to get that recipe just right.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” Even if you haven’t seen any of the previous entries in this initially entertaining but sometimes overblown Disney franchise, “Dead Men” works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects and impressive CGI. Johnny Depp, Javiar Bardem and Geoffrey Rush ham it up. Rated PG-13 for sequences of adventure violence, and some suggestive content 129 minutes. HHH.

NOW PLAYING “47 Meters Down” Two sisters find themselves trapped in a shark cage on the seabed floor.

With Mandy Moore and Claire Holt. Written by Johannes Roberts and Ernest Riera. Directed by Roberts. Rated PG-13. 89 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “All Eyez on Me” Demetrius Shipp Jr. stars as Tupac Shakur in this biopic tracing his meteoric rise in New York City. With Kat Graham, Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper, Jamal Woolard and Danai Gurira. Written by Jeremy Haft, Eddie Gonzalez and Steven Bagatourian. Directed by Benny Boom.

Rated R. 140 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” Like many a sequel to a slam-bang, much-liked mega-hit, the second adventure of the universe-saviors isn't quite as much fun, not quite as clever, not quite as fresh as the original, but it still packs a bright and shiny and sweet punch. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language, and brief suggestive content. 136 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER

“Rough Night” “It Comes at Night” In this unconventional horror film, a family hides out in a secure, isolated home as something apocalyptic occurs outside.

After much debate, they decide to take in some visitors. The superb cast does a wonderful job of keeping us guessing as to everyone's motives.

Rated R for violence, disturbing images, and language. 95 minutes.HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER

“The Mummy” Given the A-list cast led by Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe, it’s astonishing this attempted horror reboot is so wall-to-wall awful, so cheesy, so ridiculous, so convoluted, so uninvolving and so, so stupid. Rated PG-13 for violence, action and scary images, and for some suggestive content and partial nudity. 110 minutes. H. — RICHARD ROEPER

McGregor) returns to Edinburgh to find his former best mates still seriously messed up. This sequel to the 1996 hit has one foot firmly planted in nostalgia and the other rooted in the present. Everything old feels new again, and everything new has the look of an original and blazing piece of art. Rating: HHHH

“Fist Fight” (Comedy, R, 91 m., 2017). A violent teacher (Ice Cube) challenges a sniveling colleague (Charlie Day) to a fight after school in a comedy that’s ugly, mean-spirited and bereft of laughs. The 91 minutes of cinematic detention feel twice as long. Rating: Zero stars.

“The Lego Batman Movie” (Animated actionadventure, PG, 104 m., 2017). I’d rank Will Arnett’s raspy, alternately heroic and ridiculous version of the Dark Knight as one of the top three Batman performances of all time. The superhero/supervillain dynamic is explored in a clever, funny and sweet manner, through a constant explosion of candycolored visual treats. Rating: HHH 1/2

“The Great Wall” (Action fantasy, PG-13, 104 m., 2017). Cast as the Great White Hope alongside several popular Chinese actors, Matt Damon plays a mercenary enlisted to help fight an invasion of paranormal monsters. A fantasy with some pretty cool visual effects but scads of unintentionally hilarious dialogue, “The Great Wall” is so wonderfully bad, I could see some coming for the action and staying for the camp laughs. It’s a beautiful bomb.

Rating: H 1/2

“Rough Night” A bachelorette party gets way out of hand when a male stripper dies in this raucous comedy. With Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, Zoe Kravitz and Paul W. Downs. Written by Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs. Directed by Aniello. 100 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Wonder Woman” The Amazonian princess gets her own movie and leaves her island paradise to fight a war to end all wars. With Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen. Written by Allan Heinberg, story by Zack Snyder, Allan Heinberg and Jason Fuchs. Directed by Patty Jenkins. Rated PG-13. 141 minutes.

“John Wick: Chapter 2” (Crime thriller, R, 122 m., 2017). With the stylish pulp thriller “John Wick” in 2014 and this equally entertaining and even more action-jammed thriller, Keanu Reeves’ stoic, black-clad, one-man killing machine has become THE go-to bad guy/action hero of the 2010s. Who would have guessed? Rating: HHH 1/2

“Table 19” (Comedy, PG-13, 87 m., 2017). In a sometimes clunky, utterly harmless modern-day takeoff on “The Breakfast Club,” Anna Kendrick plays a maid of honor who falls out of favor and is exiled to a remote table of outcasts at the wedding reception. It’s the kind of movie that will help you

kill 90 minutes in light-chuckle fashion on a flight.

Rating: HH 1/2

“Beauty And The Beast” (Fantasy musical, PG13, 126 m., 2017). The live-action remake of Disney’s 1991 animated classic is almost overwhelmingly lavish, beautifully staged and performed with exquisite timing and grace by the outstanding cast headed by Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. Rating: HHH 1/2 “Life” (Sci-fi thriller, R, 104 m., 2017). Despite an A-list cast headed by Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson and one very cool and labyrinthine spaceship, this stylish and at times fantastically gory monster thriller eventually crashes and burns due to a script that requires really smart people to act like dopes far too often. Rating: HH GRADE: HHHH Excellent, HHH Good, HH Fair, H Poor.

MANy U.S.-PRoDUCED REDS SERVE AS APPRoPRIAtE AMERICAN HolIDAy fARE In keeping with the American nature of most summer holidays, I try to stick with U.S.-produced wines.

While pinot noir is thought of as a delicate wine, many styles from the United States are more assertive and flavorful than the traditional Burgundy. Simi 2014 Sonoma County Pinot Noir smells of caramel, cedar and cordial cherry. With a creamy texture, the wine shows elements of cooked berries and woodsy, Bourbon notes. This is a nice choice with plain or tricked-out burgers. $15. HHHH. Making an exception to my all-American rule, I tried Barista 2012 South Africa Pinotage. Pinotage is a relative of the pinot noir grape, but one that is unusual earthy, rustic and rich often showing notes of coffee. Barista is smooth with dark fruit, a spicy wine with some coffee notes. Despite the intense flavor and chubby finish, it is quite drinkable. I would try this with pepper rub steaks. $15. HHH1/2.

Justin Paso Robles 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with fruit berry, black tea and vanilla with a slightly herbal edge. You can find past vintages in Pennsylvania for about $25. This would be great with grilled steaks and tomatillo sauce. HHHH. Zinfandel (the red kind) is a classic barbecue pairing. Big producer Rancho Zabaco makes a decent and affordable series. Rancho Zabaco Sonoma “Heritage Vines” Dry Creek Valley 2014 Zinfandel boasts a black raspberry character with a touch of sweetness and a spicy finish. $14. HHH1/2.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

JONAthAN RECkLESS

with ALAN k. StOUt

Jonathan Reckless is the owner and operator of 3 Jacks Burger Bar in Dunmore, which opened seven months ago. Reckless, a native of Dunmore, is a graduate of Bishop O’Hara High School and received an associate degree from Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He and his wife, Kaitlin, have a son, Jackson.

They live in Dunmore.

Meet Jonathan Reckless …

why burgers?

I actually had a lot of different ideas. But I always felt you can’t do what you want to do anywhere. I’d be crazy to try to open an Italian restaurant or a pizza place in Dunmore. (Laughs.)

But I had a couple of different ideas, and I always wanted to kind of hone in on something. Too many restaurants try to do everything, and I can’t keep my quality level high if I have to focus on too much.

So I want to focus on one thing and be the best.

And burgers were one of my ideas. And I felt the location we have was perfect.

what do you enjoy about it?

Not the hours. (Laughs.) It’s long hours. But there’s a sense of freedom and accountability. The people here work full-time, and they have a lot riding on it. And I enjoy the pressure, and it will hopefully provide a better life for myself. My bartenders make a good living and my kitchen staff does well.

We’re all like a family that pulls together and makes things happen and gets things done.

what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I’m a gamer. I like to play video games. I don’t have a lot of time now with work and having a kid, but if he’s sleeping and I have a free hour while he’s napping, I’ll probably play a game or two.

photo by emma black

what first inspired you to open 3 Jacks Burger Bar? It’s just something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Working in the business, you always feel you can do it better than the other guy. It’s not always true, but you think you can. (Laughs.) And I guess I got tired of making money for everybody else. I always felt I had had ideas, and I always wanted to be able to kind of do my own thing, do things the way I wanted them to be done and make a claim for myself.

Favorite vacation spot? who are some of your favorite musical I enjoy a nice quiet beach. artists?

I’m kind of all over the place. I like good counFavorite thing about NEPA? try, like Randy Travis, George Strait, Toby Keith and It’s just home. My family is here. My friends Tim McGraw. I can go with punk rock like the Ataris are here. or early Offspring. And you can beat the classics like Creedence and Bruce. It’s whatever’s kind of Favorite holiday? driving me at the moment.

Christmas. I like the Christians season and the buildup with the Christmas songs. And I like All-time favorite movie? the feeling in the air. I wish people felt like that I like sports movies like “Bull Durham” and “Rudy.” And whenever a see “Shawshank Redemp- year-round. tion” come on, I can’t help but watch it.

Any pets?

A cat, Scooter.

All-time favorite tV show?

“The Wonder Years.”

Favorite food?

It depends on what I’m feeling, but I could Do you follow sports? probably eat pizza almost every day. But I like to I’m a big Giants fan and actually have season mix it up. tickets. I’m also a Rangers and a Red Sox fan. I spent some time up in New England, so I guess Biggest pet peeve? that’s where that came from.

I don’t like to repeat myself. And I’m more organized than what I let on, so un-organization Favorite cities?

New York. And Chicago is a really good time. I really kind of aggravates me. also like Toronto and Montreal. is there anything about you that might surprise people?

I’m pretty outgoing towards people, but I’m not really comfortable with it. I’m not as personable as I portray myself, but I guess I can put the face on.

(Laughs.) have you had a moment in your life that has helped shape you into the person you are today?

There’s always little things that you can look back on and kind of pinpoint. My buddy, Mike, and I ... he ended up being a chef as well. And when we were younger, we always liked to try and make food. We’d used to try to make pizza and wing sauce when we were in grade school — maybe 10 or 12. We got our first restaurant job when I was 12 and he was 13. Not legal at all. (Laughs.) We didn’t even get paid — we just helped out at this small restaurant, but we just enjoyed the experience. And I think that probably really got us to where we wanted to be.

around in your mind “Wizard of Oz”-style.

But what do we humans understand really well?

Stories. And it turns out, studies on coping with breakups PsyChoLogICALLy souND sTrAIghT TALK from syNDICATED CoLumNIsT Amy ALKoN by communications researcher Jody Koenig Kellas find that creating a story about the relationship and the breakup good or crappy particular things make us feel. As Nesse JACK AND JILTED seems to help people adjust better and faster. Essential puts it, “People repeat actions that made them feel happy in My boyfriend of three years cheated on me, and elements in this seem to be relating your complete story the past, and they avoid actions that made them sad.” when I found out, he dumped me. I’m getting over it, in a “sequential” way (in order), having a narrative that Nesse believes that sadness may, among other things, but boy, it’s a slow process. Some days, I’m fine, and hangs together and makes sense, and illustrating it with be evolution’s version of a timeout. Note that a term psych others, I feel super sad or really angry. Is there some examples of things that happened and giving possible researchers use to describe sadness is “low mood” (though way I can speed up my recovery so I can get on with reasons for them. it would more helpfully be called “low-energy mood”). Sadmy life?

The need to mentally organize what happened into a deness, like depression, slows you down; you repair to your — Wasted Enough Time tailed and coherent story pushes you to reflect on and make couch to boohoo, lick your wounds, and seek comfort from sense of your experience in ways that less directed thinking the two men so many women turn to in times of despair, You wish him all the best, which is to say you hope a does not. What seems especially important for moving on Ben & Jerry. giant scorpion crawls out of the sand and bites his penis. is making meaning out of the situation — turning the ordeal And yes, there’s value in this sort of ice cream-fueled It’s understandable that you’re feeling overdue for a little into a learning experience that gives you hope for living emotional fumigation. But consider that there’s an upside to Kleenexapalooza. Being sad is telling you “don’t do that more wisely (and less painfully) in the future. the downer emotions and not just for the dry cleaner who’s again!” — while giving you the time and emotional space to Kellas’ results dovetail with decades of research by about to buy Crete after getting the mascara stains out of all figure out what exactly you’re supposed to not do. psychologist James Pennebaker, who finds that “expressive Because your emotions have a job to do, you can’t your clothes. writing” (similar to what Kellas recommends) speeds just tell sadness and anger, “You’re no longer wanted here.

Though we tend to see our gloomier emotions — like people’s recovery from emotional trauma. But say you hate sadness and anger — as “bad,” and the “whoopee!” emo- Kindly show yourselves out.” They’ll go when you show to write. Research by social psychologist Sonja Lyubomirtions — like joy and happiness — as “good,” evolutionary them that they’re no longer needed, which you do by sky finds that recording your story (say, with the voice reprocessing your painful experience into something useful. psychologist and psychiatrist Randolph Nesse explains memo app on your phone) also works. You also could just that emotions are neither good nor bad, they’re “adaptive.” Unfortunately, there are some challenges to this, because tell the story to a friend or a homeless guy at a bus stop.

Finally, consider the difference between healthy storytelling, used to find meaning in what you went through so you can move on, and unhealthy “rumination” — obsessively chewing and rechewing bits from your relationship without insight, solutions, or relief. Psychologist Susan Nolen-Hoeksema finds that this builds “a case for hopelessness,” prolonging distress and recovery.

A powerful way to unbuild a case for hopelessness is by recognizing that you have some control over what happens to you. You get to this sense through accountability — admitting that you have some responsibility for your present situation (perhaps by ignoring red flags and letting wishful thinking run the show). Sure, blaming someone else probably feels more gratifying in the moment. Unfortunately, this tends to lead to insights with limited utility — such as the revelation that Cheerios, oddly enough, do not actually cheer you up (not even when paired with a lactose-free milk substitute such as Jim Beam).
