wednesday The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

The candidates UNM needs and deserves Editor’s Note: It’s down to the final five in the search for UNM’s next president. The Board of Regents announced the finalists during a closed meeting Monday morning and will conduct in-

person inter views with each finalist as well as review feedback from students and staff before officially select ing the University’s next president by Jan. 5. Public forums will be held

during finals week, where staff and students can meet the finalists and ask them questions. Today’s Daily Lobo features a brief biographical background on each candidate’s educational careers

and professional appointments, as well as an expression of their top three goals should they acquire the presidency. Look in tomorrow’s Daily Lobo for a continued question and answer session

with each candidate as well as demographical comparisons between UNM and the university’s from which each finalist comes.

Meredith Hay has served as the special adviser to the chair for strategic initiatives for the Arizona Board of Regents since August of this year. From 2008 to August 2011, she served as executive vice president and provost of the University of Arizona. Hay was removed from her University of Arizona provost position last summer and reappointed as an adviser to the state’s university board of regents following mixed reviews of her controversial “Transformation Plan,” which saved funds for the university, but upset some faculty, according to the Tucson Sentinel. She received her Ph.D in cardiovascular pharmacology from the University of Texas. According to her résumé, Hay helped secure more than $1

Elizabeth Hoffman has been the executive vice president and provost at Iowa State University since 2007. From 2000 to 2005 she served as the president of the University of Colorado system, but resigned in 2005 amid controversy over former professor Ward Churchill’s comments comparing Sept. 11, 2001 victims to Nazis. Hoffman refused to fire Churchill and took fire from the state’s governor, after struggling with accusations that the university recruited high school football players with offers of alcohol and sex, according to the New York Times. She received a Ph.D. in economics from California Institute of Technology. She said she has helped raise retention and graduation rates at Iowa State and said she believes she can make similar changes at UNM by creating

Elsa Murano resigned from her position as Texas A&M University president after serving for only one year. The Texas university system gave Murano some of the lowest scores possible on a one-year performance evaluation. In March 2009, Texas A&M’s student newspaper, The Anthem, accused Murano of lying to the student body and student body president after she appointed a vice president of student affairs before receiving input on the selection from student forums. Murano refuted the claims in an open letter to the university. In her year as president, Murano says she developed an academic Master Plan for the university, jump-started the university’s international program by developing the

our academic mission?’ ” he said. “Are we the University of New Mexico? Are we a university that happens to be in New Mexico? Are we a university that’s going to have open access, or be more selective and strive for excellence in fewer programs? Before we decide anything we need to answer the question of our identity first.” Abdallah said UNM faces a future in which state support for higher education is decreasing while tuition costs are rising. He said one of his short-term goals is to eliminate the state’s tuition credit. Abdallah said planning meetings for the academic plan are in early stages, but the UNM community will have the opportunity to weigh in on the plan in an electronic forum. He said the community’s response will help

determine the allocation of resources for years to come, and could even eliminate existing programs at UNM that aren’t part of its core mission. “Let’s say we decide we’re going to be a high-level research university with excellent undergraduate teaching, multi-discipline programs — we can put a price tag on it,” he said. “We can say ‘this is what it’s going to take, here’s how many faculty we should have, here’s how many students we should have per class.’ Those are the things the academic plan will start to ask and answer.”

he is waiting for a final report from the group in charge of the decision. “Personally, as a faculty (member) … I think this will allow us to provide a very nice opportunity for students from New Mexico who otherwise might not consider UNM and attract students from outside,” he said. “I think it would be a good place to have challenging and experimental type instructions that we would not have in a regular college.”

said. “What are your academic values? Do you believe UNM should be a flagship university? Will you fight for the academic side of the mission of the university? Are you pro-students, pro-big research? Those are value questions.” Abdallah said examining who each candidate has hired and how he or she has interacted with the community at the university he or she currently serves will provide clues about how they will fit in at UNM. “I’m very interested in seeing how they operate in an environment with regents and the community,” he said. “Are they fundraisers? Are they hands-on, do they get involved in the gritty details? Do they delegate?”

Douglas Baker has served as the provost and executive vicepresident of the University of Idaho since 2005. Before going to the University of Idaho, he served as the vice-provost for academic affairs and director of the Office of Undergraduate Education at Washington State University. Baker also taught courses in management, organizational behavior, organizational design, strategic planning and human resource management at WSU. He earned a Ph.D. in business from the University of Nebraska, a M.S. in management and B.S. in business from Colorado State University. 1.

Robert Frank has been the provost and senior vice-president for academic affairs at Kent State University since 2007. According to his résumé, Frank increased student retention rates by more than 6 percent, streamlined promotion and tenure rules and improved tracking of students to ensure graduation. Frank graduated from Mayfield High School in Las Cruces and received three degrees from UNM including a Ph.D in clinical psychology. 1.

Provost expresses demand for academic plan news@dailylobo.com

UNM Interim Provost Chaouki Abdallah said that while the University has a long-term real estate Master Plan, the University has lacked a longterm plan for academics until now. “This is not something that the administration is doing,” he said. “This is something that I asked for, for a variety of reasons.” Abdallah said a key question facing UNM is whether to raise the bar on entrance standards and specialize in a select number of academic programs, or open the University’s doors to even more students. “The intent of this is to first answer the question, as a University, ‘what is

Aaron Romero and Larri Trujillo have been hauling Christmas trees and fire wood from Guadalupita, a town in Mora County, to sell in Albuquerque for 25 years. In Mora, the poorest county in New Mexico, annual incomes per capita are just above $17,000. Logging jobs account for nearly 5 percent of the income for the state, according to a state-

released economic trend report. Romero and Trujillo come each year to the corner of Osuna Road and Fourth Street, where they earn a large portion of their yearly income, just in time for Christmas.

student recruitment and retention, and on the research side of things there are tremendous opportunities to increase research, both disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research.

one of the best public research universities in the United States. Â My second goal is to improve undergraduate retention and graduation outcomes for UNM by focusing on high-impact experiences and providing a high-quality education to students. The third goal is to work

outstanding liberal arts education. Ensconced in a liberal education are experiences leading to the ability to think critically, hypothesize, understand one’s own cultural roots and the cultural roots of others, and communicate effectively. This learning is invaluable for students as they become the next generation of leaders contributing to the realization of our regional, state, national and global long-term goals.   A second key challenge that is common between New Mexico and Arizona is improving college and

career readiness and increasing the number of state residents with a college degree. Lastly, The state of New Mexico is primed to take full advantage of the University of New Mexico’s innovative leadership in biomedical, clinical, life and physical sciences research. Similar to the challenges we face in Arizona, state flagship research universities must do a better job of articulating the relationship between a successful nationally ranked research university and the economic vitality and growth of the state’s economy.

visor meets with them regularly, and they share up to three classes in common with other peers in the program. The programs are structured around an interest such as engineering or prelaw or pre-medicine. They live in the dorms together. Wherever there is a critical mass of students in a program we try to keep them together. It provides a bond for students and it provides a group of people the students can depend on, and immediate access to someone that can advise them. The difference in graduation rates is 8 percentage points and that is dramatic; it is statistically significant. Second, I want to work with the

faculty to develop a strategic plan that focuses on the strengths of the University. I get a sense there is a real hunger to move up in the view of the world, as it were, and you can’t always do that by spending money. These are tough times for everyone, so the way to do it smartly is to make investments in those strengths and in the students, A great student experience brings great faculty. The final thing I want to do is get involved with the community as quickly as possible, get in touch with community leaders, legislatures, travel the state, and really become part of the Albuquerque community.

Does your sex life suck? Then learn how to blow! by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu

If you’re in a relationship and have made the decision not to have intercourse, you and your partner can still have regular orgasms and maintain a type of sexual relationship. If you aren’t going to have sex, it’s a good idea to make a very specific definition of what you consider to be “sex” so you and your partner know what is on the menu. Let’s assume you are worried about an unplanned pregnancy and spreading infections. In my last column, “Masturbate your way to self-knowledge,” published on Nov. 21, I discussed mutual masturbation, a low-risk way to explore a sexual relationship. Oral sex is another way to experiment with your partner sexually without having intercourse. It is, however, important to use protection if you don’t know your partner’s sexual health and history, because STIs such as the human papillomavirus can be contracted through oral sex. When going down on a woman you can protect yourself in a number of ways: you can cut a condom along one side and use it as a barrier between your mouth and her genitals. You can also use dental dams and even plastic wrap. A dental dam is a piece of latex that you place over the vagina. As for techniques, here are a few things to keep in mind: Like always, you want to pay attention to the clitoris, but not before you warm her up by massaging and kissing her thighs. The clitoris is made up of the same spongy tissue that a penis is made of, so the sensations that feel good on a penis will also feel good on the clitoris, such as sucking. Do yourself a favor and use your hands, too. Massage her other erogenous zones such as her breasts and butt. Experiment with tongue movements and form as well as your pace. You can make your tongue soft and flat or rigid and pointy. One common reason that people, especially men, say they don’t want to give their partners oral sex is because of the smell or taste. Firstly, blow jobs don’t always smell or taste good, and we have to deal with the issue of ejaculation. Luckily, that can be even more of an incentive to use a barrier when performing oral sex on men. If you are a woman who is worried about the way your vagina smells and tastes, it could be a diet issue, a yeast infection, or a need for more breathable underwear. The best way to find out is to make an appointment with a doctor. If your partner is a female and you’re concerned about smell or taste, try performing oral sex on her in the shower after she has gently washed her vagina out with water. According to an online poll by Elle Magazine and MSNBC, one in five women said they aren’t comfortable receiving oral sex. The receiver needs to make an effort to communicate and accept it graciously. Take deep breaths and don’t be shy about voicing your pleasure, either with moans and groans or talking dirty. Feel free to put your hand on the back of your partner’s head and run your hands through their luscious locks. And most importantly, tell them when it feels good.

Copy editing: because you’re a pedant by Chris Quintana

Hey there, grammatically inclinedreaders. I just did something wrong in that last sentence. Do you know what it is? If so, you need to be a copy editor. Remember all those former friends who grew to hate you because you always corrected their grammar? Well, you can earn that same scorn from the editors and reporters at the Lobo, but this time you’ll get paid for it. For every night you catch comma splices, dangling modifiers or misspelled words, you get paid $40. That’s enough to buy some real online friends who won’t hate you because you’re better than them. In fact, that’s the whole perk of the job. You get to be better than everyone else in the whole, wide world. You know how unnecessary gerunds and adverbs are, and you know how useless the people are who use them. And no one, and I mean no one, can take away that sense of self-worth that comes with being right all the time.

The requirements are simple: You just have to be crazy smart, which you probably are because you caught that earlier mistake, you clever grammar freak, you, and take a copy editing test at our open house tonight. Sure, other people will be there, but I am sure you, dear reader and grammatically aware individual, are better than the rest. And tonight is your chance to prove it to me and the rest of the staff. Bring your Associated Press style guide (available at most major bookstores) and your mad skills, and get ready to settle into your new future of friendlessness. But you don’t need friends when you’re always grammatically correct, do you, dear reader? I have one challenge more for the bravest, looniest, and best of you editors out there: My current copy chief, Craig “The Captain” Dubyk, is leaving for England to study the etymology of the Ewok language in his continuing quest to become one of the furry creatures — don’t ask me, copy editors are weird — which means the pa-

per needs a new copy chief. The highest scorers will be subjected to another test, and the overall winner will have the option to become copy chief. The position includes a $7 pay raise, a newspaper hat, eternal bragging rights and proof to any doubting friends or family that an English degree does pay. The rest of your life awaits you in a dimly lit back room. Claim what’s yours.

Oral sex on a man also has some techniques that can make it more enjoyable for the giver. Condoms are a must if you are with a new partner or know your partner has an STI. Use flavored condoms if that is your thing, and also know that if you put a bit of lube inside the condom it will make it more pleasurable for the receiver and the giver doesn’t have to deal with the ejaculation. Some women think a blow job is all about

the mouth, but regardless of whether you’re performing oral sex on a man or a woman your hands should be involved in the process. If your partner’s penis is especially large, your hands will probably be a crucial component in getting him off. You can hold the base of the penis and use your mouth on the tip and middle. You could also make a cock ring with your fingers for an extra bonus. For both genders, oral sex is a great way to

enjoy an orgasm without risking pregnancy. The important thing to remember is to use the tools you’ve got and make sure the giver knows what feels good to you. It might be the best gift you give this holiday season.

OWS protesters forget history, American values Editor, Those instituting radical change must have outsiders to demonize: called “enemies of the people” by Robespierre during the French Revolution, “kulaks” by the Soviets, and “sufan“ by the communist Chinese. Today, they are called the “1 percent” by Occupy Wall Street. We’re told the 1 percent hold too large a portion of national income. Many are business owners; others have inherited wealth; some are nefarious bankers, financiers and Wall Street denizens. The 1 percent is quite a diverse group of people with widely disparate incomes.

As I see it, the 1 percent is made up of fellow Americans, only richer. Haven’t the Rockefellers, the Mellons, the Gettys, the Norton Simons been sufficiently philanthropic? The U.S. tax system is highly progressive: The top 1 percent make 21 percent of all income earned in the U.S., but pay 38 percent of all federal personal taxes. Seems like a very respectable amount in a country where 45 percent pay no federal personal taxes. And what Solomonic figure will establish the 1 percent’s “fair share” of taxes and determine when equality is achieved? It seems like it’s been tried in the Soviet Union, communist China, Zimbabwe, Burma, Cuba and Cambodia. It ends in repression and terror — gulags, laogais, killing fields. Say you, it takes a while to get communism right — results have been much better in socialist Europe. Is that why Greece and Italy are de facto

bankrupt? They and other European countries are near catastrophic failure — a failure not just monetary, but, as accompanied by rioting, increasingly destructive and deadly. This income equality thing is not for sissies. But what of those who loudly proclaim “We are the 99 percent?” They are “We the People of the United States,” individuals “created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights … Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” This equality is glorious, unencumbered and inviolable, providing the freedom and opportunity to realize one’s potential. It is all the equality there need be, and all, in a real world, that there can be. Donald Gluck President of the UNM Conservative Republicans

suggesting that the political system Putin built to solidify his control has begun to crack just three months ahead of a vote on his return to the presidency. The lackluster opposition has suddenly been energized. Anger over the election drew more than 5,000 people Monday night, in one of the biggest anti-Putin protests in years. Police detained about 300 protesters to prevent them from marching to the Central Elections Commission near the Kremlin. New protests on Tuesday night were thwarted by police, who were out in force after having been taken by surprise the night before. Amateur videos claiming to show the vote being rigged have spread via social media networks, including one in which the chairman of an election commission is filling out a stack of ballots. The clip attracted so much attention that city election officials were forced to acknowledge that the chairman had been caught falsifying the vote and could face charges. The commission chairman who spoke to the AP said that representatives of Russia’s four main parties got together before the election to negotiate how many votes each would get in district precincts. United Russia initially wanted 68 to 70 percent, but conceded that was too high and settled for around 65.

If you are selected as the next UNM president, what are your top three goals for improving the University?

If I am given the opportunity to help lead the University of New Mexico, three of the goals that I believe should be pursued would include: first, enhance our academic programs, both in terms of teaching quality and research productivity; second, ensure that we are providing the best value to our students through the efficient management of our limited resources; and third, help format an open and inclusive governance environment where communication at all levels is valued and encouraged. Mind you, these are only three goals, and embedded within them are a whole host of issues. I am sure there are additional areas that need to be addressed, so the very first thing I would do is listen to what those who have been there think ought to be done.

MOSCOW — The election official had a problem: Workers at his polling station had been stuffing ballot boxes with votes for Vladimir Putin’s party all day, he said, but when the votes were counted United Russia still didn’t have enough. So he huddled with the election commission he chaired at the Moscow precinct. The decision: Putin’s party would get the desired 65 percent. One member objected, but relented when the others tossed his Communist

Party a few dozen votes. The commission chairman spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity for fear of losing his job. He also said he could be punished for disobeying orders to report any contact with foreign observers or journalists to the FSB, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB. His account closely matches reports by independent observers of rampant vote-rigging during Sunday’s election, in which United Russia maintained its majority in parliament. Amateur videos posted on the Internet also appeared to show falsified ballots spilling out of boxes at polling stations. Officially, United Russia got roughly 50 percent of the vote, a significant drop from the 64 percent the party won in the last election. But the reports of fraud indicate it may have lost even more support than those results suggest. Central Election Commission officials said they have received no reports of serious violations but would investigate any formal complaints. This election was emerging as a watershed moment in a country where people have long seemed inured to vote manipulation, both before and after the fall of the Soviet Union. The fraud allegations have set off protests in the street and stirred broader public indignation,

Photos more show than tell by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

The UNM photography program, although ranked no. 5 in the U.S. News and World Report’s list of best grad­u­ate programs, has gone nearly unnoticed by the local community. The facilities housing the program and other art students suffer the same fate without the advantage of national recognition. Among the “notoriously crappy furniture” in her interdisciplinary portfolio class, UNM Professor Adrienne Salinger said a few orange chairs seem to have been there the longest. “For some reason we’ve all noticed the things that remain are these orange chairs,” she said. “No one likes to sit in the orange chair, but it’s kind of ubiquitous.” The class is paying homage to the photography program with The Orange Chair exhibit, a collection of pieces they’ve worked on throughout the semester, while drawing attention to the inadequate facilities with which they’ve had to work.

ange chair was present at the Friday reception; as usual, it was ignored. Many of the photography students described the class as a process of discovery rather than a welldefined path, effectively leaving the artist’s intentions up to the viewer to decide. From both sexy and repulsive portraits to a startlingly similar series of black-and-white homes, the images represent the realities that play out in the artists’ minds. “I feel like at first I was searching for some kind of truth through photography, but I think over time I’ve discovered that the photograph is a construction and there isn’t necessarily a truth to it,” student Ashley Rammelsberg said. “You construct it however you want it to be, so it’s kind of a myth, but it’s a believable myth.” Salinger said this concept is challenging for photographers whose well-executed photographs are often attributed to the camera itself, rather than to artistic skill. “To use that medium to say something that is important to the maker seems like such a difficult task, be-

cause everybody thinks they’re a photographer,” she said. “Now everybody does it with their cell phone, and so the assumption is that it’s very easy to do. Because of that, it’s the most difficult medium you could possibly consider.” The class itself, Salinger said, is the students’ attempt to flesh out an idea that came seemingly out of nowhere to produce something meaningful. Students don’t fully grasp the meaning of their work, and viewers don’t believe there is meaning beyond what is represented because they don’t regard what they see as a construction. “It looks cool” was a common statement heard among the crowd, while comments on the photographs’ deeper meaning were few and far between. Given that many viewers were as unaware of the final goal as the artists themselves, personal meaning is the most important. Student Stewart Linthicum displayed his five photos of cookie-cutter homes from Rio Rancho, distinguished from one another by small

The series, along with 10 other student works, is on display at the “Orange Chair” show at the ONTRACK Gallery and Art Space. details like overgrown bushes and notes left on a front door that express something about its inhabitants. Like Linthicum, UNM student Marcello Codianni said he felt uneased by the display because you can’t tell the houses apart, and that says something about society.

Q&A

New Mexico Daily Lobo by Alexandra Swanberg

Iris Groomis, senior, religious studies “It’s unique, it’s cool I guess, kind of laid back, not too overthe-top.” Since he rethought his style a few years ago, he’s been set in his understated style that sticks to the basics. That is, until he can afford the flashy bling sported by the celebrities his style is inspired by, including Kanye West and Chris Brown. Their style is cool, he said; that’s all there is to it. Favorite fashion trend: “I like Converse and Vans a lot. They’re comfortable, they don’t make my feet look too big, they’re kind of slim and slender.” Least favorite fashion trend: “I don’t really have a least favorite, honestly. A lot of stuff isn’t bad, it’s just different. You can dress however you want to.” Advice to fashion-defunct friend: “Just dress in whatever you’re comfortable with.”

Hat: Vans, $30 Sweatshirt: Zumiez, $85 Pants: PacSun, $40 Shoes: Vans, $42

Hat: Buffalo Exchange, $5 Scarf: birthday present Top jacket: Zumiez, $60 Bottom jacket: Ross, $15 Belt: Buffalo Exchange, $10 Jeans: Buffalo Exchange, $20 Boots: Buffalo Exchange, $20 “I like natural colors, I’m not like a glitzy-type person. I’d describe it as function and funky.” Grooms said one sure way to be fashionable is to not be fashionable — that is, you should not be a slave to labels like Abercrombie and Fitch or Dolce and Gabbana. In a learning institution, Grooms says fashion means dressing in at least enough clothing to cover up your underwear. Beyond this basic principle, anything goes as long as it’s comfortable and something you actually like wearing, not just what you’re told you should like to wear. Favorite fashion trend: “I was really digging the whole feathers in the hair thing. That was one of the trends I actually agree with. I just like that it was an easy way to add a little flair to your hair. It seemed pretty unusual, but at the same time it’s not like, ‘Oh, look at me.’ ” Least favorite fashion trend: “I don’t like a lot of fashion trends, actually. I guess the one I really wasn’t feeling was the way-too-hipster look, like the grandma glasses.” Advice to fashion-defunct friend: “I would tell them to wear clothes that fit them, to be sensitive to colors that look good on them. Just wear what you want to wear, you don’t have to look like someone else to be popular. It seems like in college it should be the least of people’s worries anyway. … Try to make some things yourself. If you like a particular style or color, don’t be afraid to be creative and make your own s*** once in a while.”

Sculptor a Toys R Us artist by Nicole Perez

nicole11@unm.edu While sculpture is typically formed in clay, marble or plaster molds, UNM graduate student Rob Rix finds his materials in the fluorescent-lit aisles of Walmart. He is one of 10 students in a UNM advanced sculpture class that organized, curated and promoted their work for a showing at the Tan Gallery. He said the art of sculpture is unique because it occupies three-dimensional space, making it difficult to replicate. “A painting is a flat box that you’re looking at, a lot like a TV,� he said, “but sculpture is taking over the space — you’re stepping into an environment that’s different. It makes the person need to be present, whereas with a painting it’s possible to get the same effect with a print or even off the Internet if you have a big enough screen.� Rix, whose sculpture consists of an axe plastered with stickers and stuck in a Greek column, said materials for sculpture are limitless. “I can go to Walmart and buy some stuff and find an interesting way of combining them and it becomes a sculpture,� he said. “Any object I encounter in the world

Orange Chair

has the possibility of being art.â€? He said he typically uses bright toys and stickers in his sculptures. He said he is not trying to make any particular statement, but focuses on the implications behind consumer products. “I like to go into a Toys R Us and see what piques my interest ‌ and just buy it and bring it to the studio,â€? Rix said. “Mostly stuff that’s geared toward kids. I am interested in the whole idea of ‘Hook ‘em while they’re young.’ Just see what it is we’re marketing for them.â€? But Rix said he is more concerned with the way his art looks than with any deeper meaning anyone might take away from it. “I try to choose objects based on what visual information I’m getting; whether or not I think it’s a pleasurable thing to look at, more so than what it means,â€? he said. “I’m not working with Barbie dolls and working with stereotypical images — G.I. Joes — that’s a little too blatant for me.â€? Rix said his sculpture took a mere 10 hours to create, whereas undergraduate student Sara Rivera, who made a dome from steamed wood, said she spent more than 72 hours on her piece. “It’s so much more than you would put in for a regular class where you

can sit down and write a paper at the computer,� she said. “You have to be here, you have to set up all your materials, and it just takes a long time, and that can be a real challenge. This was probably the most time I have ever put into one undergrad project.� She said this was her first time working with steamed wood, but it hasn’t deterred her from using it in the future. “It’s tough to learn that way because each piece (of wood) was an hour (in the steam box), and then I had two minutes to work with it before it dried and wouldn’t bend anymore,� Rivera said. “It was very stressful, but once you learn the limitations of the technique, then you learn new things you could do with it.� Rix said he has no expectations for how people receive his artwork. “If we’re honest, how many people even like art these days?�

each depicting photo displays, though one is in a house, the other in an apartment. It is difficult to draw meaning beyond what can be seen. There is neither dramatic lighting nor details that betray the kind of person living in either home. Ask Ho where she comes from and you get an idea of what she sees in them — a homesickness that is difficult to convey through imagery alone. She grew up in Florida, where her family still resides, and moved to

Albuquerque for school. While she said she loves Albuquerque, she feels less at home in her apartment because it is temporary and less stable. Looking at the photos, one is entertained by the strange subject matter and attractive aesthetics. Unaccompanied by artist statements, it is apparent these photos are exploratory rather than definitive messages, and so the photos allow viewers to create stories of their own based on visual cues.

This is the reality Linthicum said he faces after growing up in the east Texas countryside where neighbors stood a comfortable mile or two away. The freedom of roaming stark naked in front of open windows was something he can never enjoy in the Albuquerque suburbs, hence the unattractive representation of his neighborhood. The images become richer when you consider the personal context. Jamie Ho contributed two photos,

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Dec. 13 7 p.m.

Sunshine Theater $22 All ages

You don’t need to decipher lyrics to realize this band is more than a little down in the dumps. The musicians’ challenge in expressing such heavy emotions is to share their visceral experience without punishing the listeners with sloppy caterwauling and hectic beats. Unlike many metal bands, “As I Lay Dying” produces a crisp, riveting beat rather than taking a seat in the fainting couch and bleeding over the audience. More empowering is iwrestledabearonce, an eclectic metal band also on the program, featuring a female screamer that rivals Otep Shamaya in her chilling delivery.

Qwazaar & Batsauce with Lady Daisey Dec. 14 9 p.m.

Burt’s Tiki Lounge Free 21+

I think the name Batsauce alone is enough to justify seeing this group, so good thing the music is awesome — or, as we say on the East Coast, sick ill nasty. Most unknown rappers are unknown because they’re bad, but not Qwazaar. His rhymes are tight and imaginative, and the lyrics including engaging words and images such as “Cracks in the sky, counting them every day,” or “Checking for a pulse, this is just a uniform for being born.” Batsauce’s beats and background music are complex, and if you like Atmosphere, you have to go see this group.

Smallz One and BloodShot Dec. 17 6:30 p.m.

Amped Performance Center $5 All ages

Speaking of terrible rappers, there couldn’t be a better example than Smallz One. The title of her album is “The Diary of a Black Widow” and the song “Listen to them Cry” begins with creepy laughter over guitar strumming. Smallz One goes on to rap: “In my mind got to thinking who the f*** are they, those pathetic [indecipherable] they ain’t taking s*** away. Thinking about people who really piss me off.” She tries to make her voice sound as tough as possible, but the pathetic lyrics make her music humorous if anything.

14th Annual Anti Christ-Mas Dec. 17 9 p.m.

The Launchpad $12 21+

This show is a grindcore fest to which all the Grinches and Scrooges of Albuquerque can escape. The headlining act, Bloody Phoenix, hails from California and doesn’t do a bad job stirring up a storm in the audience. The local acts following the band’s attempt to kill the holiday spirit have hopefully improved beyond the numbers they have available on MySpace. Like cubs working on their roar, the Burque bands will be groveling. Well-played or no, the show is a must for anyone in need of cynical company burnt out on the holidays.

Sugar Babies Burlesque presents: Generic Holiday Party Dec. 19 9 p.m.

The Launchpad $8, cash only 21+

Techtonic Movement and the Red Light Cameras are the featured entertainment at this all-inclusive holiday show. The Red Light Cameras, now a year old, is an indie-pop band with cooing vocals that are both heartfelt and sassy. This female vocalist manages to sing without that nasally noise that plagues emotive singing. This is not to suggest she could do well on her own. The sunny, upbeat melodies temper her deep, raspy voice, a union of opposites that strikes just the right chord.

Reverend Horton Heat Jan. 17 9 p.m.

The Launchpad $20 21+

These old rockers are still around, wearing fancy colorful suits to distract you from their balding heads. The music is described as “psychobilly:” according to en.wikipedia.org, a genre that combines rock-and-roll with punk. This is a pretty good description — his tunes are reminiscent of rock-and-roll old boys combined with The Clash, and then he sometimes goes on separate riffs that are distinctly ‘80s (his band first formed in 1985). I’m not sure if I would attend this, but maybe the younger generation of rebellious cowboys will.

AWOLNATION Jan. 26 8 p.m.

Sunshine Theatre $15 All ages

An odd kind of indie pop that probably prides itself on being undefinable, Aaron Bruno’s solo project AWOLNATION broke away from the help of major record companies in 2009 so Bruno could “write the songs that he felt he was meant to write,” according to en.wikipedia.org. This spirit of the songs is reminiscent of Christian rock’s optimism — a soaring feeling that anything is possible — but secular. Perhaps this explains the preoccupation with space exploration: if you spot an AWOLNATION space man in the area, report the sighting immediately to receive an AWOLNATION space helmet.
