hen you think of National Cattle Congress Fair, what comes to mind? Cattle? Fairgrounds? Some sort of bovine legislature? How about Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat, wine tasting and dueling pianos, an AC/DC tribute band and a salsa band? No matter what you answered (well, except for Congress made up of cows), you’re correct, say organizers of the fair. Now in its 101st year, the Waterloo event showcases the best parts of a county fair with more live entertainment than they’ve had in a long time. “People say, ‘Remember the fair of yesteryear?’” said Melody Judge, sales and marketing manager of the National Cattle Congress. “We just want to say we’re here, we’re back and we’re bringing it.” Acts like Richie Lee, 6 Degrees West and the Dennis Wayne Gang will play among the dairy, beef and rabbit shows all around the National Cattle Congress grounds. But that’s not to say the NCC Fair has lost its roots. “We definitely want to keep the focus on livestock,” Judge said. “We’re not leaving that behind. We are embracing that past, and I think we should, that’s where we started.” When the fair started at the turn of the cen-

PULSE

tury, livestock shows were the whole point. Back this year after several years away, in fact, is the youth dairy show. It’s just that many boomers also remember the more recent past, when big-name acts played the fair and drew sizeable crowds. NCC organizers want to bring those crowds back as well. Children’s activities and livestock shows will intermingle with live bands throughout each day of the Sept. 15-18 fair. There’s also the PRCA Rodeo, magicians, Night Storm DJs and fireworks. “It’s going to be a great fair this year. It’s really, really exciting,” Judge said. “I know people say there’s something for everybody, but really, this year, there is.” 2011 National Cattle Congress Fair September 15-18 National Cattle Congress, Waterloo Admission: Adults, $10 | adults 60+, $8 | children 5-17, $5 | children 4 and younger, free.

REVIEW ERIC CHURCH | CHIEF

/

Along with Jamey Johnson, Eric Church stands on top of the pile of rising country hard guys, with Johnny Cash tattooed on one bicep and Waylon Jennings on the other. Like Johnson — and, come to think of it, like Jennings — Church also has a soft side that goes along with a tendency to lay it on a little thick to show just how tough he can be, as he does here on the subtle-as-a-flyingmallet “Country Music Jesus.” That’s one of two titles to take the Lord’s name in vain

HERCULEs & LoVE AFFAIR | BLUE SONGS | PHILADELPHIA A.D. AmoRosI INQUIRER

For Hercules & Love Affair’s first album, mastermind Andy Butler drafted producer Tim Goldsworthy of DFA and singer Antony Hegarty of Antony & the Johnsons and created one of 2008’s best albums and, in “Blind,” one of its best singles. Neither returns for its successor, “Blue Songs.” Happily, Butler finds other worthy, if lesser-known collaborators to fulfill his updated vision of late’80s house and techno. With contributions from six mIsTER HEAVENLY | OUT OF LOVE

When Man Man’s Ryan Kattner, Modest Mouse’s Joe Plummer and the Unicorns/ Islands’ Nick Thorburn decided to form an indie-rock supergroup, they also decided to invent a new genre: doom wop. As such, the trio — known as Mister Heavenly — wrote a collection of 12 songs that aim to combine the melodic innocence of ’50s pop with each member’s tendencies toward poppy indie rock and brash experimental rock. While dark,

LmFAo | SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING

When the Beastie Boys offered to fight for our collective right to party, they couldn’t have realized the mess they were starting. Namely, LMFAO. The rude electrorap DJ duo of Redfoo and SkyBlu (the son and grandson, respectively, of Motown founder Berry Gordy) call what they do “party rock.” Since 2008, they have made massively stupid yet ridiculously contagious hits from their lewd and loud aesthetic. Cranky howlers like “La La La” and “Shots” are hymns in the church of dumb. 16

on “Chief,” which hit No. 1 on the pop and country charts upon its release, to go with two more that mention other holy icons Church genuflects before: “Springsteen” and “Jack Daniels.” With a few minor slips, the quality of the songs — all but one of which Church co-wrote — is uniformly high, and “Chief” sounds great, with a live-in-the-studio feel tight enough for country radio play, but not overly slick. — Dan DeLuca, Philadelphia Inquirer

/

vocalists (the most prominent is Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke), “Blue Songs” feels a bit like a DJ nightclub set, albeit generally a more downtempo affair than the first album. Blatant echoes of Grace Jones, ESG, Yazoo and Pet Shop Boys (and iconic producers such as Frankie Knuckles and Derrick May) add to the period flavor but don’t detract from the immediacy. — Steve Klinge, The Philadelphia Inquirer /

ominous doo-wop is the tie that binds, dub reggae, power pop and prog rock also make appearances. But perhaps because of these varied influences, “Out of Love” seems more like a Man Man album than an Islands or Modest Mouse record, or even a joint effort among the three. It’s a strong album, catchy and well composed, but ultimately it lacks the sense of collaboration. — Katherine Silkaitis, The Philadelphia Inquirer

/

Without a doubt, “Sorry’s” bright, bold beats and epic electronic vibe are stellar. The duo handle their own knobs with will.i.am acting as executive producer and occasional guest MC. You wouldn’t call the punching, swirling synth arrangement of “Rock the Beat II” innovative, yet it isn’t too far from clever. “Party Rock Anthem” and “Put That A$$ to Work” have more hooks than Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. — A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

2       september

Stars: Sara Paxton, Alyssa Diaz The plot: The moment Sara (Paxton) and her friends arrive at her parent’s Louisiana lake house, the party is in full gear. Everyone is swimming in the salt-water lake and having a blast until someone loses an arm. Determined to get the injured party to the nearest hospital, friends fire up the speedboat and hit the water full throttle. Far from shore reality strikes — the lake is teeming with hungry sharks. As the feeding frenzy begins, Sara and her pals realize that their only hope for survival is to swim for their lives and reach the beach without becoming fish food.

Stars: Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington, Tom Wilkinson The plot: In 1965, Mossad agent Rachel Singer (Mirren) was one of a celebrated trio of secret agents who tracked down and brought to trial the Surgeon of Birkenau, a Nazi war criminal in East Berlin. Now, a new and deadly story has begun to emerge. A man claiming to be the killer surfaces in the Ukraine, and Rachel travels to Eastern Europe with Stefan (Wilkinson), her former partner in espionage, to seek out the truth.

Pigeon english | StEPhEn KELman Eleven-year-old harri lives in a gang-ridden London neighborhood with his mother and older sister in a housing project. When a youngster is killed in the street outside his home, harri and his friend Dean, taking their lead from detective shows, decide to investigate, looking for the murder weapon and trying to find fingerprints on the scene. this curious, enthusiastic youth is never far from the shadow of danger. he lives on turf ruled by a dominant local gang, whose leader, X-Fire, seems to have a connection with harri’s sister Lydia. X-Fire wants to bring harri into the fold, but harri doesn’t seem to be gang material. When harri fails to follow through on two possible initiations, this marks him as a target for the gang’s leaders. a thuggish boy, Killa, thumps harri in the hallway for taking his fingerprints. Kelman, the author, grew up in a housing development like harri’s. he took a real-life knife murder of an immigrant boy a decade ago as his starting point, but the youth he created is distinctly and wonderfully his own. — Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The submission | amy WaLDman Set in post-9/11 manhattan, this debut novel by a veteran new york times reporter is a morality tale about intolerance and ambition. It opens at a meeting of the jury impaneled to choose the design for a memorial at Ground Zero. along with art-world hotshots, the group contains one representative of the victims’ families — Claire Burwell, a widow with two newly fatherless children. Claire is a passionate advocate of a design that features a walled garden with both real trees and steel ones, and a pagoda at the vertex of intersecting canals. her idea wins, and the trouble starts when the identity of the designer is revealed. his name is mohammed Khan. the book ends with the kind of tragedy that books about prejudice often end with, a bloody one, followed by an epilogue that jumps 20 years into the future to give a look at how it all turned out. Waldman has an insider’s understanding of the media and of politics. the hopelessness at the heart of this tale seems to come from observing those two vicious animals for too long. — Marion Winik, McClatchy News Service

A smAll hoTel | RoBERt oLEn BUtLER In the first sentence of “a Small hotel,” we meet 49-year-old Kelly hays on the day her divorce is to be finalized. the rest of the novel will explore what went wrong between her and 55-year-old michael, to whom she has been married for more than 20 years. as Kelly checks into the new orleans hotel, where she and michael first made love 25 years earlier, the camera pans to michael himself, a hotshot attorney who is simultaneously cruising in a BmW with Laurie, a gorgeous 29-year-old blonde paralegal. But while Butler has always had a taste for melodrama, this isn’t the particular soap opera that plays out in the ensuing 200-plus pages, which repeatedly shifts between michael and Kelly. Butler’s writing makes up for a lot of structural sins, including an improbable and unsatisfying fairy tale ending and a whole second subplot involving Kelly that is even more predictable and less believable than the main event. the overheated, ornately papered rooms within “a Small hotel” can leave readers gasping for air — and looking for the exit door. — Mike Fischer, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The Devil All The Time | DonaLD Ray PoLLoCK In “the Devil all the time,” there’s a female bartender who offers sexual favors to make extra money because her boyfriend doesn’t work. there’s a good preacher and a couple of lousy ones. there’s Willard, who comes back from fighting in the Pacific and falls in love with the waitress who serves him bad meatloaf when he’s nearly home. the people are poor, the towns are tiny, and suffering and darkness are usually at hand. In this cast of characters, a few main story lines head for convergence. Central is arvin, the son of Willard and his waitress bride. the characters are bound to intersect. Sheriff, sisters, preachers, killers, arvin: who will collide and how gives the book a real page-turning tension. But where any prime-time television show can incite nail biting with a lurking killer, Pollock has done much more. he’s layered decades of history and shown the inner thoughts of a cast of characters, and we understand how deeply violence and misfortune have settled into the bones of this place. — Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times 22

J-Lo returning to ‘Idol’

f “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” often seems to echo real life, then the season opener of this NBC crime drama is no different. NBC says the episode will deal with an Italian dignitary accused of rape. Franco Nero, who appeared last year in the film “Letters to Juliet,” stars as the official. The network routinely insists “SVU” is fiction. But this episode appears to mirror the case of former International Monetary Fund boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a front-runner for the French presidency until his arrest in May on charges of sexually assaulting a hotel housekeeper in Manhattan. The woman has since filed a civil lawsuit against him. — The Associated Press law & order: svu 13th season opener, nBC Wednesday, Sept. 21


Any lingering skepticism was dispelled last week by “Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. He declared, unofficially, that Lopez would be back while interviewed on Seacrest’s radio program. “American Idol” begins its new season Jan. 22. — The Associated Press

‘dog Football’ fun for young players alan simmer | PULSE WRITER

W

hen “Jerry Rice & Nitus’ Dog Football” for Wii arrived in the mail, I took one look at it and started laughing. I’m not much of a sports person to start with, and a video game that brings “Air Bud: Golden Receiver” to mind, well … let’s just say expectations weren’t too high. Players choose a human quarterback and two breeds of dogs to round out the team, then a location from a skate park called Bark de Triomphe to a field in outer space. Not exactly a setup I’m getting super excited over. But this game isn’t meant for me, of course. Sure, it says it’s for “all ages,” but can you really imagine four college-age guys saying “Hey, let’s take a break from our ‘Call of Duty’ tourney for a few rounds of ‘Dog Football,’ OK?” So I rounded up some children (no white, windowless vans were involved) and got their opinions, which ranged from “sort of fun” to “awesomely fun.” The basic controls were intuitive enough for them to grasp — in fact, easier for them than the

adults in the room — though finer play control is best absorbed from the scant manual or the ingame practice sessions. Yes, it’s silly. Yes, the load times might be long and intrusive. Yes, we might all be wondering where Jerry Rice blew all his money so he was forced to be the commissioner of the Pets Sports League. (This is the first of many animal sports games, apparently. Looking forward to Hamster Handball and Octopus Arm Wrestling.) Younger gamers will enjoy the foolish fantasy of it, but it’s not so dull that adults will find a way for the disc to get mysteriously and permanently lost.
