The depiction of anime as being wholly derived from Disney is a disservice to the Japanese arts that Mr. Croom professes to enjoy so much. His simplistic and incorrect explanation ignores the rich heritage of Tokugawa era print culture, and as the poster above stated, pioneering work by Japanese artists before Disney. By making a badly flawed blanket statement, he reduces the history of the anime industry to the role of skilled copiers following Western leads rather than true innovators. I hope he avails himself of the cultural activities at his convention to better understand Japanese society. Conrad, via orlandoweekly.com Anime was around long before Walt Disney began. One of the earliest anime was first seen in 1908. Disney’s first cartoon premiered in 1928. Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki said he took some of Disney’s style into account when creating his own style.

I went to this event last year (“Florida Anime Experience is ‘the only 100 percent pure anime convention in Florida,’” April 22). There were hardly any events to go to and most of them had less than 10 people in attendance. Maybe a few hundred people went. There were hardly any dealers and one looked like some dude was having his garage sale at a convention. Not much of an experience. Every convention Tom took a shot at is way better than Florida Anime Experience. It’s much better to spend your money at those instead. Maybe he’s jealous? Also, the origins of anime in this article are incorrect. Please do some fact checking. MDGeist, via orlandoweekly.com

88 Number of abortion providers in the whole state, as of 2011
Money talks if you have insurance obtained through a state exchange that receives any public dollars, your abortion won’t be covered. No matter that, if you’re in your third trimester, the only way you can get an abortion is if two physicians put it in writing that the procedure is medically necessary. You still need to reflect for another 24 hours to think about your actions. If we’re lucky, maybe it’ll take you so long to decide on your own whether you think an abortion is right for you, find a doctor in your area who’s willing and able to provide the service, save up the money to possibly pay for the whole procedure out of pocket, travel to see the doctor for counseling, find out the age of your fetus, then wait 24 more hours to “reflect,” you’ll be in your third trimester and you won’t be permitted to have the abortion anyway (unless you can prove that your pregnancy could kill you). See? Now you don’t even have to worry about deciding what to do, because we’ve done it for you. The 24-hour waiting period bill has passed handily in both the House and Senate, and now we’re just waiting for Gov. Rick Scott to sign it. And you know he always knows what’s best for you, so you can be sure this bill will be law in no time. It’s for the best, really. Take some time. Reflect on it. You’ll see. Paternally, Your Republican legislators
Here’s a little funny something, courtesy of the very coy Jeb Bush, who has yet to announce that he’s running for president even though everyone knows he is running for president. According to Bloomberg, he told a group of reporters outside a restaurant in South Beach over the weekend, “I don’t think you need to spend $1 billion to be elected president of the United States in 2016. I don’t think it’s necessary if you run the right kind of campaign, you don’t need to have these massive amounts of money to spend.” In 2012, both the Obama and Romney campaigns easily raised about $1 billion each. Clearly, Bush was taking aim at the extravagance of such insane campaign funding. However, at a meeting of the top 350 donors to his super PAC Right to Rise that same day, he praised his people for raising a shit-ton of cash for him. He told the group that it had “raised more money in its first 100 days than any other Republican operation in modern history,” according to the Washington Post. Exactly how much that equates to we do not know, but the Post estimates that the PAC may be on target to raise $100 million by the end of May and that donations have come in so quickly, and in such large amounts, that the campaign has limited them to $1 million per donor for now. This for a guy who hasn’t even announced his candidacy yet.
NEWS & FEATURES
Growler law before the governor The biggest beer news in the state this week was the unanimous passage of a growler bill in both the State House and Senate. The bill, SB 186, only has to be signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott, and we’re hoping he takes the aisle-bridging bipartisan support for this bill as an indication that he should sign it. Once that happens, 64-ounce growlers will be legal to fill at brewery taprooms across the state starting July 1. This version of the growler bill dropped all of the macrobrewery- and distributing companysponsored quotas that were appended to it last year, though a provision that bars people from using EBT cards to purchase beer – which is completely redundant, since you already can’t use an EBT card to purchase beer – was thrown in for shits and giggles. So, barring some boneheaded moralizing from Gov. Scott – keep your fingers crossed, it could still happen – we should all be able to keep cold half-gallon containers of Florida-made brew in our fridges to get us through the summer. That’s something we can raise a glass to.

“H
ow present are you in a situation?” asks Patrick Kahn, curator of Snap! Orlando’s annual photography event. Judging from the stoplight-texters and glazed-over humanoids streaming in and out of blandly themed restaurants we see these days, for many the answer is: not very. With You Are Here, Kahn’s monthlong series of art exhibitions, artist talks, films, lectures and workshops, the present has arrived. Orlando Weekly recently caught up with Kahn to discuss this year’s happening and how it’s intertwined with Orlando’s ascendancy in the Southeastern art scene. It would be virtually impossible to be present for every piece of this mosaic during the month of May. Snap!, which has grown every year since its 2009 inception,
Center for the Performing Arts, Enzian Theater, Flying Horse Editions, Timucua White House, the Gallery at Avalon Island, Falcon Bar & Gallery, CityArts Factory and Canvs; not to mention the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach and the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts in Tampa.

Less pointed in social advocacy but no less sharp in social commentary, two Andy Warhol shows are here: Southeast Museum of Photography displays a selection of Warhol’s Polaroids through May 16, and Orlando Museum of Art shows Andy Warhol & Friends, intimate photographs of the artist shot by his close friends William John Kennedy, Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg. And May 31 brings the Central
Florida premiere (at Enzian Theater) of Finding Vivian Maier, a documentary tracing the shadowy story of the Chicago nanny and surreptitious street photographer whose thousands of intense images were only discovered after her death. The beating heart of all these far-flung events is Life in Real Time, the exhibition installed at Snap! Space throughout the month. In work by 11 artists (including the images accompanying this story, as well as the cover photo), Life in Real Time portrays the multifaceted human condition, baring the souls of real people in real places. Orlando’s star is rising, and artists who stuck to this town through the bad patches are emerging in a vibrant cultural scene that’s the envy of the Southeast. Kahn’s theatrical approach to the arts is a part of this success, and it is exciting to see visitorship to Orlando for spaces that aren’t theme parks. Be here, and be present. arts@orlandoweekly.com

Orlando bids farewell to Frank McClain, who’s leaving town to become artistic director of Dubuque’s Grand Opera House Orlando is such a transient town that it’s impossible to mark every exit, but attention must be paid when a pillar of our performing arts community like Frank McClain says farewell after 25 years. A regional actor, director, singer and arts administrator since 1990 (and also – full disclosure – my landlord), McClain moved to Tampa a couple of years ago, but remained active in local productions. Now he’s relocating to his home state of Iowa to become executive and artistic director of Dubuque’s Grand Opera House, and taking a quarter-century of memories with him. “I was a gypsy actor and had worked at a Naples [Florida] dinner theater,” McClain
told me during a recent farewell brunch in his honor. “Universal Studios was opening up and it was like, let’s go to Orlando, never knowing that it would be the place I’d wind up staying. Because up to that point I’d never stayed anywhere for longer than seven or eight months.” He worked a range of gigs, from Universal’s Murder, She Wrote Mystery Theatre show and the musical Bergamo’s Italian Restaurant to “a ton of children’s shows” at the Civic Theatre, before beginning work with the now-defunct Orlando Opera, which he eventually directed. “It was never on my agenda to become an opera singer, but I could sing arias. When I started to work at Orlando Opera was the first time I was exposed to opera.” His final regional show was Florida Opera Theatre’s production of Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte, and he said that being one of the first locals to direct at the new Dr. Phillips Center “felt like the fulfillment of so much. The art center has been talked about since I moved here, so to be able to do
a show there before I depart is really great.” After a brief sojourn to New York City, McClain was lured back to Orlando to play Judge Frollo in the Hunchback of Notre Dame musical at Disney-MGM Studios. “The funny thing is I auditioned for Disney seven or eight times while I lived here, and then I auditioned one time in New York. … They just videotaped me singing a song, didn’t say anything, and two weeks later I get a call to come down and play Frollo,” McClain recalled. “It was a good time during my life. I was in my late 30s and I’d never had a job before that had paid vacations and benefits [and] I could still do all kinds of theater at night.” An initial six-month contract turned into five years with the well-remembered show. “It was such a good gig, and such a fun show to do. … About a year and a half in I just said, ‘Well, I’m riding this train until it ends, because I know it’s not going to last forever.’” Outside the parks, McClain had a hand in countless hit local theater productions, many with playwright-producer Michael Wanzie, with whom he first collaborated on the original 1995 staging of Lizzie Borden: A Musical Tragedy in Two Axe at Theatre Downtown. Wanzie (who spoke to me while swimming fully clothed) praises McClain’s versatility, saying, “He’s one of the most well-rounded people; he does know how to direct, how to sing, how to act. He can do drama as well as comedy.” As an actor, McClain says he’s most proud of his work as a guest artist in UCF’s Kentucky Cycle; as a director, Why We Have a Body at Stage Left, the small theater he ran on Virginia Drive. But, “No matter what, Mr. Charles is what people will always remember me for, which is great,” said McClain, referring to the flamboyant Paul Rudnick character he played at the Orlando Fringe and Parliament House. “There’s pre-Mr. Charles and post-Mr. Charles, for people’s opinion of me: ‘I didn’t know you could be so funny.’” Though McClain enjoyed being managing director at Opera Tampa and is excited to be returning to his “first love” of musical theater in a vintage venue in a city where he’s got family, he’s clear on what he’ll miss most about Orlando: “The people. My friends, the community. I don’t think people realize what a thriving arts town [Orlando] is, how many ridiculously talented people live in this town.” According to Wanzie, with McClain’s departure Orlando is losing “a really sweet spirit in a community of people that can sometimes be jealous and vicious. … He has never been involved with or at the center of any type of drama whatsoever. … No matter what the project, he’s genuinely a good guy to be around, a good energy.” Will McClain be back? “Never say never,” he smiles. “I can’t imagine that I’ll ever be away for too long. I’ll be visiting.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

I
’ve been meaning to pay a visit to the Boheme Restaurant inside the Grand Bohemian Hotel ever since Rene Nyfeler took over director of food and beverage duties and Laurent Hollaender stepped into the role of executive chef. That was more than three years ago, and the subsequent buzz being generated about the food and the restaurant’s design refresh gave rise to this Saturday-night visit. On all accounts, it really couldn’t have gone any better. The sheer resplendency of the dining room can prove distracting when being led to your table, so try not to bump into a column while gawking at an original work of art. Custom walnut tables, Carrara marble finishes and a sea of sensuous “Kessler red” (which is like “Netflix red,” only redder) make quite an impression. Sitting in my red leather chair and peering through the red string drapes, I drifted into a sudden make-believe reverie. As I awaited the presentation of my readied opium pipe, “Can I start you off with some still water?” came the trance-fracturing greeting. I gave our
server the blank Christopher Walken gaze before my wife embarrassedly responded in the affirmative. Seeing the words escargots de Bourgogne and crispy smelt and watermelon and feta on the menu induced another spell, but this time I was all too eager to speak up. Said dishes arrived in due time, even with a large party occupying the energies of our poised and ever-capable server. Just know that things aren’t rushed here. Plates are brought out in appropriately paced fashion, allowing for plenty of time in between courses for us to “visit,” as my wife likes to say. The escargots de Bourgogne ($10), served in a snail plate, show off Hollaender’s French roots. The half-dozen gastropods are covered in panko and baked in a buttery garlic aioli. As rich and heavy a dish as this was, the refreshing watermelon and feta salad ($9), speckled with roasted pistachios, was the complete opposite. Our only nag was the inclusion of baguette croutons – more soggy than crunchy and wholly unnecessary. If the plate of fried rainbow smelt ($12) had been the only thing we ordered, we’d leave utterly gratified. The wee battered wonders were crisp and lemony, and a dip in Moroccan-spiced aioli made them all the more stellar. Not sure why only half a Fresno pepper was served with the fish, but
more would’ve been nice. The launch of the Boheme’s summer seasonal menu means new items (like the watermelon and feta) are being offered. Another such dish is the roasted lamb loin noisette ($32); the fat cap crusted with oregano fleur de sel just added to the succulence of the two wondrously tender cuts. Fingerling potatoes, summer squash and natural jus rounded out this winning dish. The inclusion of poached carambola (starfruit) really allowed the flavors of the duck breast ($27), beautifully presented with spring forest mushrooms, rainbow Swiss chard and roasted marble potatoes, to burst forth. Enjoying the sounds of bebop filtering into the restaurant from the Bösendorfer Lounge was almost as enjoyable as biting into the crack pie ($9), a reasonable facsimile of the one I sampled at the Momofuku Milk Bar in Toronto. The tiramisu cheesecake ($9), while good, played a supporting role in my rapidly slouching posture. Satiated, and beginning to slink back into my chair while listening to some riff on Monk, I wasn’t about to allow myself to fall into another reverie, oh no. After all that we sampled, it was clear the food here was dreamy enough.
Openings: Things could get testy when Braccia Pizzeria & Ristorante, a Brazilian outfit, opens in the former Café 118 space on Morse Boulevard – directly across the street from Rome’s Flavours, another pizzeria and ristorante … Around the corner, Belicoso Cigars & Café will open on Park Ave. … Look for Longwood’s Korea House to open its second location in the former Bamboo Sushi building on Colonial Drive near Linda’s La Cantina … R.W.

In celebration of the Kentucky Derby Saturday, May 2, Soco will serve complimentary mint juleps to guests wearing a Derby-inspired hat, starting at 5 p.m. At 7 p.m., Greg Richie serves a four-course dinner paired with whiskey and bourbon. Cost is $75 per person.

Capa Sexy rooftop resto at the Four Seasons shows off its style with Basque- and Spanish-inspired specialties and USDA Prime steaks. It’s hard to go wrong with any dish, but you’ll go right with a plate of acorn-fed Iberico ham and hamachi crudo to start. Succulent roast duck with braised salsify, Florida peaches and pickled mustard seed is also a must. If beef is your craving, the bone-in filet is sublime, even if it sets you back $69. Desserts are all Instagramworthy. Extensive wine list and gin menu keep patrons happy. 10100 Dream Tree Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, 407-313-7777; $$$$
Francesco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria Sicilian specialties star at this Maitland ristorante, with wood-fired brick-oven pizzas stealing the show. Pastas, like the beautifully plated penne Palermitana, are worth seeking out, but be wary of mealy veal Siciliano and flavorless calamari steak. Hand-fashioned desserts like profiteroles and strawberry tiramisu help make dealing with service deficiencies more bearable. 400 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, 407-960-5533; $$
Pho Curry Ford Modest joint on Curry Ford Road serves dependable pho soups and other Vietnamese staples. While we weren’t blown away by the bún vermicelli bowl with bland grilled pork and shrimp, the hearty beef stew banh mi served with doughy French bread and an aromatic pho tai were both stellar. A decent list of vegetarian items are offered, including fat tofu-filled spring rolls and taro-stuffed egg rolls; no desserts are offered. Open daily. 3334 Curry Ford Road, 407-930-6267; $
Boca Tampa-based boîte is the latest to make a go of this jinx spot, and does so with intermittent success. Wonderfully crisp fried green tomatoes with pimento, tomato jam and house bacon are an impressive starter, as is the farmhouse salad with greens grown right on the walls in the resto’s “vertical garden.” Mains can be hit (pan-seared wahoo over celery puree) or miss (overdone bistecca). Cocktails are somewhat cloying, but desserts, thankfully, aren’t. 358 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7022; $$$ n

Faster, Avengers, kill, kill Director Joss Whedon turns heroes into villains in the latest in the Avengers series By M a rya n n J oha n so n
Avengers: Age of Ultron
HHHHH
S
neaky superhero movie! Another capedcrusader tradition gave us the idea that heroes who don’t die in the line of duty live to become villains, but The Avengers lets it play out onscreen. The bad guys in Age of Ultron? Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. For real. Tony’s villainy is externalized in Ultron, an AI creation that he has been working on for years and can finally bring to fruition now that the Avengers have reacquired Loki’s wondrous scepter from what’s left of Hydra (this is the opening sequence of the film). Ultron (the voice of James Spader) has some of Tony’s (Robert Downey Jr.’s) attitudes, but a glitch in its “birth” makes it go a bit cyber-insane, and it interprets Tony’s notion of world peace to mean “a planet without humans.” Now it’s gotten loose and must be stopped. It’s not so much the twisting of Tony’s attitude that’s the villainy here, but that Tony was keeping yet more secrets – and Ultron is a huge one – from the people who are supposed to be his partners in saving the planet. The rest of the Avengers learn about this new danger after it has tried to kill them all. This literally ruins
the Avengers’ party. In poor Bruce Banner’s case, though, it really is he who has become a menace. Well, the Hulk has, anyway. In the middle of a battle rage that gets even more out-of-control than usual, he goes on a rampage that causes massive destruction in downtown Johannesburg. He is stopped only when Iron Man – in Hulk-scaled power armor – steps in, and it’s not an easy thing. It’s a fairly horrifying sequence, watching friend forced to battle friend and knowing that Bruce doesn’t want to be doing this (never mind what the innocent injured people of Jo’burg must be feeling). His horror once he has transformed back into his human self continues through the rest of the film – Mark Ruffalo is fantastic – and is tough for us not to share in. The Hulk is dangerous to everyone, not just bad guys. Tony and Bruce have finally gone full madscientist. It’s a fascinating upending of genre tradition that might make this flick work for nonfans, even though it assumes a lot of familiarity with what’s come before in the series – such as that you’ll know what Loki’s scepter and Hydra are about without having to be told. It’s not all gloom, though. Director Joss Whedon ensures that Ultron continues the Avengers tradition of big, bold action blockbusters that don’t need to toss away thoughtfulness to remain pure popcorn fun.

ond-guessing of their work is more comic-book soap opera than serious drama, as are some of the other things we learn about the personal lives of the Avengers here: Romance is budding between Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) and Bruce, though she has to push it a bit; and Clint, aka Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), turns out to have a surprising secret. The finale is truly sci-fi superhero action movie whackadoodle, taking urban destruction to a new (antigravity-assisted) level. The film isn’t without problems. Urban destruction – Seoul also takes a beating here – is getting old. The effects in the opening attack-onHydra sequence are surprisingly cartoonish. And 45-minute battle finales have to go: It’s overkill, and we’ve had enough. Can we find something new for these movies to do? The cool thing is, Age of Ultron ends by suggesting that yes, maybe we can. Big changes are initiated here that indicate that the team, at least, is going to be very different next time out. This franchise isn’t afraid to move on from aspects that aren’t working anymore, and here any tiredness in the characters is confronted directly and dealt with. When I say that this is the weakest of the Avengers movies so far, I don’t mean that it isn’t still hugely enjoyable. And any complaints are mollified by the hint that this huge ongoing story won’t be refreshed as needed. feedback@orlandoweekly.com APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015

Reality bites
A little gem of a film about a quirky Tokyo office worker plays the Enzian this week By C a Me r o n M e i e r
Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter
HHHHH
K
umiko, the Treasure Hunter, one of the best films of this year’s Florida Film Festival, is playing the Enzian Theater in Maitland this week. As an unmarried, misunderstood 29-year-old office worker in Tokyo, Kumiko (the extraordinary Rinko Kikuchi) leads a depressing, lonely life, eschewing everything and everyone except her pet rabbit, Bunzo. Her only joy is her delusional obsession with the movie Fargo, which she perceives as real. She therefore assumes that the money Steve Buscemi’s character buries in the snow is ripe for her plucking, if only she can traverse the 5,000 miles that separate her from the treasure. “I am like a Spanish conquistador,” she says. “Recently I’ve learned of untold riches hidden deep in the Americas. Long ago, Spanish conquistadors learned of such things from American Indians. Now I have learned from an American motion picture.” This little gem of a film could have been a ridiculous comedy substituting spoof for heart, but in the mature hands of David and Nathan Zellner – and executive producer Alexander Payne – it becomes a haunting homage to the Coen brothers and to every troubled soul who has been cinematically inspired to dream an impossible dream. feedback@orlandoweekly.com 24

The Copper roCkeT ∙ orange CounTy regional hisTory CenTer preCious ∙ unCle Tony’s DonuT shoppe The Copper rocket had a storied history for fostering a rich scene and staging cool shows as an alternative venue out in Maitland. When they shuttered the place a couple of months ago, the remnants of that scene blew out any candles they were still holding in hopes they might see a revival, bidding the place a bitter adieu. Now a new owner, Selman Markovic, has discovered the space and found himself smitten with the Copper Rocket’s noted past, of which he was previously ignorant. So with bar managers Chelsea Mueller and Jeremy Wood, he plans to remodel the place to build out his dream bar – couches will go where the pool tables were to give that room (now colored by a mural by Orlando Pagan) a lounge-y feel – but also respect the culture associated with the Copper Rocket name. His ambition is to open super-soon, but he’s cautious to name a date just yet. You can find out more about this unexpected resurrection and help fund the effort at gofundme.com/thecopperrocket. Speaking of time travel, the orange County Regional History Center wants to take rock fans back in time, rollercoastering folks through an important slice of Orlando music history in an exhibit called Long Way to the Top: Hard Rock in Orlando, 19771985. They’ve dubbed this period Central Florida’s Golden Age of Rock, and among the artifacts are Bee Jay Recording Studios
hit records, blown-up photos of rock legends, recording equipment you can toy with and more. It’s worth a whirl if you’ve got free time, and the exhibit has been extended, so you have until Sunday, June 14, to get to the show. remember back in november 2013 when the music community rallied behind local guitarist-vocalist Steve Garron (Precious, Potsie) for a fundraising event called Hello Kidney that hoped to raise money for the musician to undergo a necessary kidney transplant? The event was a success, and quickly following it, Garron was put on the transplant list. Then Garron, and the community behind him, waited. Fast-forward to this month when Garron successfully underwent surgery. (Congratulations! If only printed words were flowers!) Now in-the-know locals wish him a speedy recovery so maybe, just maybe, we can get another Precious reunion in the near future. For the uninitiated, you can hear and learn more about Garron’s music, find merch and read more about his story at stevegarron.com.

Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside: Earl Sweatshirt’s sophomore album title seems to perfectly embody the 21-year-old’s “fuck everyone and fuck everything” current state of mind. His new 10-track project is almost entirely produced by Earl himself, and his production provides a somber backdrop that contrasts with the pointed and assertive lyrics. This is evident growth since the release of his debut album, Doris, the product of Earl’s transition from attending a school in Samoa for “troubled youth” to adapting to fame and success. In an interview with Clash magazine shortly after the release of Doris, Earl said, “I’m starting to sound like myself again. Doris is cool, but you can hear the doubt in my voice.” I Don’t Like Shit was birthed after Earl “ejected himself from tour” after stating on Twitter that he was “physically and mentally at the end of (his) rope.” This tattered mentality is clearly on display as Earl confronts his demons face to face throughout the album’s entire 30 minutes. Faux relationships, addiction, missing his grandmother and the pressures of fame serve as frequent topics; however, Earl affirms toward the end of the album, “When it’s problems, I don’t holler, rather fix them all myself.” In a recent Twitter Q&A, Kendrick Lamar (who is highly regarded as one of the genre’s gatekeepers) named Sweatshirt as his favorite hip-hop artist. An interesting call by Lamar, but with Earl in his newfound comfort zone, I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside looks to be the opening of a new chapter in the young artist’s career.
abriel Garzon-Montano arrived at his brilliant neo-soul release from 2013, Bishouné: Alma del Huila, in a topsyturvy way. At 15, the teen, who’d been playing instruments since he first picked up a violin at age 6, met legendary producer Henry Hirsch and played him a couple of songs. Hirsch heard – and eventually Drake heard, when he sampled Bishouné track “6 8” on “Jungle,” from If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late – an invigorating young composer whose sweet soulfulness shone through his smart songwriting. Hirsch agreed to record and mentor GarzonMontano at Waterfront Studios. But the kid was rough. “He was very real with me about the takes,” Garzon-Montano says. “We had to do things the right way. He would A/B my drum takes with John Bonham’s, and he would A/B my vocals with Jeff Buckley, and he was like, ‘This is what you like, right?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘This is you; this is Jeff.’ ‘This is you; this is John.’ He just kind of broke it down for me: ‘What you want to do is very difficult.’ And especially doing it the real way, without a computer.” It took another eight years before Bishouné’s six tracks came together, following a formal education at Purchase College’s Conservatory of Music. There, he melded his formative training with Hirsch with his classical upbringing in a musical family. (His mother sang with the Philip Glass Ensemble.) Despite the impressive pop fusions achieved on the EP, Garzon-Montano still questions whether this schooling stiffened him. “Certain parts of that [education] makes me fall into patterns, and I wish that I could approach music more like a Kanye – or someone who I’m sure is not really that aware theoretically, but who can kind of make these collages,” Garzon-Montano says. Bishouné is basically a master’s thesis in pop, with GarzonMontano performing all the instruments and as the sole composer. The only intrusion is a startling one – “Pour Maman,” a song about his mother dying, was the sole track with lyrics outsourced. Garzon-Montano was struggling to find sparse lyrics to fit the stunted melody and his friend, Bobby Elliot, suggested making the song about his mom and then penned the end result. Now Garzon-Montano’s in Florida for three dates, performing songs off the EP. His debut album is expected out next year, a hotly anticipated release now, thanks to the visibility he gained at South by Southwest and through Drake’s “6 8” shoutout on “Jungle.” “It was a very surreal colliding of two worlds that I would never have imagined living together,” Garzon-Montano says. “It only did good things for me.”

Solillaquists of Sound BY B AO L E - H U U
PHOTO BY MICHAEL LOTHROP
Even though he’s from Rhode
Island, what makes it like a homecoming each time alt-rap icon Sage Francis comes to town is the big, deep footprint he has here as one of the most significant modern benefactors of the city’s music culture. By introducing Solillaquists of Sound to the world in 2005, he did a real solid for our music cred and planted a pretty huge signpost on Orlando. Not saying that they wouldn’t have broken out on their own – they are, after all, a triple threat of talent, fire and concept – but Francis ensured it. And the man deserves maximum local credit for that. By reuniting these two historically joined forces, this latest show (April 23, the Social) was an illustrious vista of Orlando’s connection to the broader music picture via hip-hop. Fittingly, the vibe was familial. Of course, that’s just how the Solillaquists roll anyway, but tonight was more. Between the telling of Francis-related stories, expressions of gratitude toward him and the crowd-soaring announcement that group members and real-life couple DiVinci and Tonya Combs are expecting a child (congratulations, guys), a huge heart oxygenated the Solillaquists’ set. That’s real hometown fam shit there. So when Alexandra signed off with, “We’re Solillaquists of Sound and we’re from Orlando,” all I could think was, yeah, I like the ring of that. I bet I wasn’t the only one.
THE BEAT
As the man whose bass lines essentially defined the sound of the post-punk generation, Peter Hook is as big an indie legend
A huge heart oxygenated the Solillaquists’ set. That’s real hometown fam shit there. as they come. For the past five years, he and his current band, the Light, have primarily functioned as a Joy Division and New Order cover band, and their current tour brings the watershed releases of the Joy Division oeuvre, Unknown Pleasures and Closer, to the U.S. South for the first time. The legitimate living conduits of this legendary work constitute a very small and exclusive club, and Hook’s a card-carrying member. But the notion of touching such sacred, canonical work without the original cast is a prospect that can only betoken hubris, folly or just huge brass balls. The instrumental aspect isn’t the issue because Hook is arguably more licensed than anyone to handle that. But someone else – not just Hook but anyone – stepping into singer Ian Curtis’ shoes is an idea that seems insane, impossible. So did I mention I walked in skeptical? At the well-attended Orlando stop (April 19, the Plaza Live), the Light opened for themselves with a nice 45-minute set of New Order material, which, judging from Hook’s side projects, seems more suited to his sensibilities. Particularly juicy was the fact that they played some deeper
choice cuts (like “This Time of Night”) and not just the obvious, played-out transatlantic hits. (I can’t be the only one who wouldn’t mind retiring “Blue Monday.”) After an intermission, they re-emerged and delved into the featured Joy Division material. And with each successive song, my deep well of fan reservation abated. Although a little fleshier at times than the stark original recordings, the music was impressively faithful. Regarding the most obvious and perilous voice matter, Hook’s register and stiff singing actually fared significantly better in approximating Ian Curtis’ death croon than Bernard Sumner’s lither, airier emoting. To his further credit, Hook didn’t douche up the stage presentation with unnecessary modern glitz, opting instead for a muted, shadowy lighting strategy in tune with the band’s original spirit. So I’m sorry for doubting you, Hooky. For many reasons, not least of which is the irrevocable absence of the defining and deceased frontman, the singular miracle of Joy Division is just one of those things that can never fully be revived live. But somewhere along the way, through some sort of sorcery, Peter Hook managed to reconstitute Joy Division’s doomed splendor to remarkable degree. As a kid, I got to see New Order in their prime. So, as a fan who was never even close to seeing Joy Division in person, this was pretty special. Clocking in at almost three hours total, the show was a facsimile of an impossible fantasy that was as generous as it was respectable. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

The Naysayer Presents: The Understory ART It’s hard to believe in our post-camera-enabled smartphone culture, but there was a time when the only way to know what a certain species of animal, insect, plant or whatever looked like was to check out detailed drawings made by people who actually had seen that thing. Though scientific illustration doesn’t really get the respect it used to, the photorealistic drawings of local artist Heidi “the Naysayer” Kneisl are strongly influenced by the style. Instead of dry anatomical diagrams, though, the Naysayer’s tableaux feature scenes of the subjects interacting: freakishly large snails cavort with a snake, a bat shouts at a bee, a praying mantis gathers berries to protect them from dripping mollusk slime. Check out the 18 Micron pen-on-Bristol board illustrations at this show, then splurge on packets of mystery prints that you can take home and color yourself, or take home an art zine by the folks who make Is It Over Yet? featuring illustrations from the show. Either way, it’s hard to say no to this one. – TM

‘BERRIES’ BY THE NAYSAYER
This spring, Tigers Jaw released Charmer, securing their transition from pop punk to indie rock. They’ve come a long way since their first album, Belongs to the Dead, released by Summersteps Records in 2006. Since then, three original members have left the band, leaving only Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins to keep the group together (but don’t fret – their old mates didn’t ditch them before the new album’s release). Their sound has changed over the years as the band has transitioned out of pop punk and manifested into indie rock. Sure, “Nervous Kids” sounds close to their older stuff, but “I Envy Your Apathy” pretty much pinpoints their current aesthetic. If you’re looking for a trip down nostalgia lane, this is definitely the show for you. With songs about permanent scars, facing attackers and a cruel and cool world, these haunting tunes are bound to strike a nerve that’s been buried for a while. – Haley Cannon

Art & Craft Grand Finale Cocktail Reception EVENTS Today’s the grand finale of a chill cocktail fest that’s been happening since last Sunday. The first iteration of what we hope will be an annual tradition, Art & Craft is a tripartite matchmaker, tying a spirit to a bar to a local artist for the week, then leaning back to see the sparks fly. For instance: At the Courtesy, bartenders created drinks all week with Tequila Ocho and Ancho Reyes, while Peterson Guerrier worked on decorating a bottle to express those spirits’ fiery personalities. Over at Cask & Larder, special Bulleit bourbon, rye and whiskey cocktails were on the menu all week, as Johannah O’Donnell transformed a Bulleit bottle. The closing “night” party (at cool-hub Snap! Space, and actually more of an afternoon event) features the best drink of the week from all eight bars and a display of the finished art bottles by all eight artists, plus food from the Ravenous Pig and Cask & Larder, and music by DJ Nigel. This is pretty much a sure shot for you and your own match, if you’ve got one – or maybe you’ll make a new one tonight? – Jessica Bryce Young

The Fleshtones Formed in 1976, the Fleshtones are nearly 40 years into their career of confusing genre purists by sloshing their stylistic mop through punk, garage, New Wave and rockabilly (and anything else that goes completely nuts) in order to achieve their unclassifiable energy. Their album output has been remarkably steady since their full-length debut in 1982, though it’s slowed in recent times. For a reminder of their inventive spirit, you may want to spin their 2014 release, Wheel of Talent, where they bring in brass instruments and strings like never before. Next, they bring that fearless Fleshtones force to Will’s Pub to celebrate local garage rock kings the Woolly Bushmen as they release their new LP, Sky Bosses. We haven’t heard it yet, but the phenomenal art by Joe Schorgl – featuring fuzzy discombobulated characters in a SoFla setting – has us twitching to change that. – Ashley Belanger

White Trash Bash III: Cinco de Drinko If you’re like us, you appreciate the American co-opting of the minor Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo because it’s a reason to pound Patrón on a Tuesday and that’s basically like half your job, but you’re a little skeeved out by all the casual racism that surrounds the usual celebration: sombreros, fake mustaches, dickheads decked out in brownface. But this year Backbooth is flipping the script for the more socially conscious drunkards out there. They’re throwing one of their White Trash Bashes, full of drinking and chugging contests sponsored by PBR, throwing an all-star band on stage to perform mariachi-style covers of classic punk songs and, the best part, having a white-people costume contest. Come dressed as fratty or preppy as you can – think cargo shorts, sleeveless tees, painters caps, Lilly Pulitzer dresses; bonus points for anything associated with the band Sublime – and try to out-Chad or out-Stacy the rest of the attendees. Then, you know, get hammered and lose your keys because that’s what Cinco de Mayo’s really all about. – TM

WHITE TRASH BASH ART BY JESSICA SMITH FLESHTONES PHOTO BY JESSE BATES
Pamplona can have its Running of the Bulls – give us 100 tiny, bug-eyed, appleheaded dogs running down a racetrack relay-style any day. The event, sponsored by Cocina 214, allows anyone to register their Chihuahua to run the race, and the proceeds benefit Winter Park Lost Pets and A Cause 4 Paws Rescue. Registration begins at 10 a.m., and Chihuahua racing begins promptly at 11. When your dog is done with his laps, you can take him to the Chihuahua photo booth, bring him to the bar to enjoy a Tito’s Lone Star Lemonade, margarita or a Corona (for you, not the dog), or let him get to know his fellow Chihuahuas trackside. Don’t have a chi? Don’t feel like you can’t attend – watching the bobbleheads run is free and perhaps the best Sunday Funday entertainment you’re likely to find north of the border today. – Erin Sullivan EVENTS

Alanis Morissette M u s I C If you’re still singing singles from Jagged Little Pill into your hairbrush on occasional mornings (or self-pitying/self-indulgent evenings, not judging), you should head (over feet) to Hard Rock Live for Alanis Morissette, who comes to town for an acoustic evening this week. (Be warned: Tickets are kinda pricey.) Morissette took a break from music and touring after her 2012 release, Havoc and Bright Lights, and last year announced the Intimate and Acoustic tour to the delight of super-fans (one hand in their pocket, the other one crossing fingers behind their backs that long locks were not lost for good). Reviews and leaked setlists from the limited dates she’s performed suggest it’ll be a promising night where she strums through the hits in a more sensitive setting. Catch her now before she’s really gone. – Ashley Belanger

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Chris Moneymaker was employed as an accountant in Tennessee. On a whim, he paid $39 to enter an online poker tournament. Although he knew a lot about the game, he had never competed professionally. Nevertheless, he won the tournament. As his award, he received no money, but rather an invitation to participate in the annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Can you guess the storybook ending? The rookie triumphed over 838 pros, taking home $2.5 million. I don’t foresee anything quite as spectacular for you, but there may be similar elements in your saga. For example, a modest investment on your part could make you eligible for a chance to earn much more. Here’s another possible plot twist: You could generate luck for yourself by ramping up a skill that has until now been a hobby. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) eBay is a multi-billion-dollar e-commerce business that has been around for almost 20 years. But it had an inauspicious beginning. The first item ever sold on the service was a broken laser pointer. Even though the laser pointer didn’t work, and the seller informed the buyer it didn’t work, it brought in $14.83. This story might be a useful metaphor for your imminent future. While I have faith in the vigor of the long-term trends you are or will soon be setting in motion, your initial steps may be a bit iffy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’s time to purify your world of all insanities, profanities and inanities. It’s a perfect moment for that once-in-a-blue-moon Scour-a-Thon, when you have a mandate to purge all clunkiness, junkiness and gunkiness from your midst. And as you flush away the unease of your hypocrisies and discrepancies, as you dispense with any tendency you might have to make way too much sense, remember that evil is allergic to laughter. Humor is one of the most effective psychospiritual cleansers ever. CANCER (June 21-July 22) I was in the checkout line at Whole Foods. The shopper ahead of me had piled her groceries on the conveyor belt, and it was her turn to be rung up. “How are you doing?” she said cheerfully to the cashier, a crabby-looking hipster whom I happened to know is a Cancerian poet and lead singer in a local rock band. “Oh, I am living my dream,” he replied. I guessed he was being sarcastic, although I didn’t know for sure. In any case, I had a flash of intuition that his answer should be your mantra in the coming weeks. It’s time to redouble your commitment to living your dream! Say it 20 times in a row right now: “I am living my dream.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) As I awoke this morning, I remembered the dream I’d just had in which I had written a horoscope for you. Here’s what it said: “The Kentucky Derby is a famous horse race that takes place on the first Saturday of every May. It’s called ‘The Run for the Roses’ because one of the prizes that goes to the winning horse and jockey is a garland of 554 roses. I suspect that your life may soon bring you an odd treasure like that. Will it be a good thing, or too much of a good thing? Will it be useful or just kind of weird? Beautiful or a bit ridiculous? The answers to those questions may depend in part on your willingness to adjust your expectations.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t calm down. Don’t retreat into your sanctuary and relax into protective comfort. If you have faith and remain committed to the messy experiment you have stirred up, the stress and agitation you’re dealing with will ripen into vitality and excitement. I’m not exaggerating, my dear explorer. You’re on the verge of tapping into the catalytic beauty and rejuvenating truth that lurk beneath the frustration. You’re close to unlocking the deeper ambitions that are trapped inside the surface-level wishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) American author Stephen Crane wrote his celebrated Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage in 10 days. Composer George Frideric Handel polished off his famous oratorio Messiah in a mere 24 days, and Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky produced his novel The Gambler in 16 days. On the other hand, Junot Díaz, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, needed 10 years to finish it. As for you, I think this is – and should be! – a phase more like Díaz’s than the other three creators’. Go slowly. Be super extra thorough. What you’re working on can’t be rushed. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In her book A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman describes a medieval knight who asked his lady for a strand of her pubic hair: a symbol of her life force. The lady agreed. He placed the talisman in a locket that he wore around his neck, confident that it would protect him and consecrate him in the course of the rough adventures ahead. I recommend that you consider a similar tack in the coming weeks. As you head toward your turning point, arm yourself with a personal blessing from someone you love. Success is most likely if you tincture your fierce determination with magical tenderness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “An escalator can never break,” mused comedian Mitch Hedberg. “It can only become stairs. You should never see an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order’ sign, just ‘Escalator Is Temporarily Stairs.’” I think a similar principle applies to you. If we were to try to evaluate your current situation with conventional wisdom, we might say that part of your usual array of capacities is not functioning at its usual level. But if we adopted a perspective like Hedberg’s, we could rightly say that this part of you is simply serving its purpose in a different way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) I’ve got a tough assignment for you. It won’t be easy, but I think you’re ready to do a good job. Here it is: Learn to be totally at home with your body. Figure out what you need to do to feel unconditional love for your physical form. To get started on this noble and sacred task, practice feeling compassion for your so-called imperfections. I also suggest you cast a love spell on yourself every night, using a red candle, a mirror and your favorite creamy beverage. It may also help to go down to the playground and swing on the swings, make loud animal sounds, or engage in unusually uninhibited sex. Do you have any other ideas? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) When Aquarian media mogul Oprah Winfrey was born, “Oprah” was not what she was called. Her birth certificate says she is “Orpah,” a name her aunt borrowed from a character who appears in the biblical Book of Ruth. As Oprah grew up, her friends and relatives had trouble pronouncing “Orpah,” and often turned it into “Oprah.” The distorted form eventually stuck. But if I were her, I would consider revisiting that old twist sometime soon, maybe even restoring “Orpah.” For you, it’s a favorable time to investigate original intentions or explore primal meanings or play around with the earliest archetypes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) What I propose is that you scan your memories and identify everyone who has ever tried to limit your options or dampen your enthusiasm or crush your freedom. Take a piece of paper and write down a list of the times someone insinuated that you will forever be stuck in a shrunken possibility, or made a prediction about what you will supposedly never be capable of, or said you had a problem that was permanently beyond your ability to solve. Once you’ve compiled all the constricting ideas about yourself that other people have tried to saddle you with, burn that piece of paper and declare yourself exempt from their curses. In the days after you do this ritual, all of life will conspire with you to expand your freedom.

This pretty girl is dariela (animal Id a316359). She’s a 1-yearold friendly pup, who’s always wagging her tail. She loves lounging around on her Kuranda bed, and she enjoys eating treats, too. She gets along well with everyone, including other dogs. She was found as a stray recently, and unfortunately she tested positive for heartworm disease. Heartworm disease is treatable so we urge anyone who is interested in adopting Dariela to learn more about treatment options before passing her up as their next pet. You can meet Dariela at orange County animal Services, 2769 Conroy Road, 407-396-3111, ocnetpets.com.
B Y D A N S AVA G E My partner is 31 years older than I am. I know the math: He’ll be 60 when I’m 29. But that isn’t the problem. The issue is he’s been a lifelong bachelor and never been monogamous. He’s fucked hundreds of women and is close friends with a lot of his former fuck buddies. Because of our four-year friendship before we hooked up, I know a lot about his sex life. The problem isn’t jealousy – and it isn’t knowing he’s fucked every woman he’s friends with or that he fucked someone else after declaring his love for me. It’s that I know too much. We both feel vulnerable at times – him because I’m still in contact with one ex, and me because I feel like I’m fighting his past preference for no-stringsattached relationships. He tells me this relationship is different and he loves me in a way he hasn’t loved anyone before. But I still feel like because of how many people he’s been with, and how many of these amazing, beautiful, young fuck buddies are still in his life, I’ll never attain any sort of primacy. Notable Age Gap Gets In Newbie’s Grill
Answering your question without knowing your ages is difficult, because it makes a difference whether you’re 21 and he’s 52 (which means this man befriended you when you were a high-school student) or you’re 28 and he’s 59 (and you met this man after you got out of college). Likewise, it would help to know how long you two have been together. Three months? Three years? Essentially, you’re asking me to game out the odds for both long-term success and monogamous success (and, yes, those are two different things), and that’s hard to do without knowing your ages and how long you’ve been together. Because I would definitely give your relationship slimmer odds of long-term success if your partner were the kind of middle-aged man who befriends and eventually beds high-school students. Conversely, I would give your relationship fatter odds of long-term success if you were three years into it and your partner had been successfully monogamous all that time. That said, NAGGING, cheating and breakups regularly happen in the absence of significant age gaps and friendship networks composed exclusively of ex–fuck buddies. (Since people tend to partner with – and cheat on and be cheated on by – people in their same age demographic, cheating and breakups almost always happen in the absence of significant age gaps. But that is correlation, not causation – and sophistry, too!) There are no guarantees. Your partner may revert to nonmonogamous form at some point and either cheat (boo!) or ask for permission to open up your relationship (yay?). You could find yourself in a caretaker role in 10-plus years and find yourself asking him for permission to open up your relationship. Or you guys could stay together and stay faithful until death comes for one of you – most likely your partner, leaving you plenty of time to hook up with your ex, if he’s still available. Oh, shit – blah blah blah, I haven’t answered your question. You’ll obtain primacy – or realize you’ve already attained it – after a significant chunk of time has passed. So give it more time. Either it will work out or it won’t. But even if this relationship isn’t a long-term success, it can still be a short-term success. Good luck.
I’m 62 and happily married for 20 years to a sweet guy who doesn’t seem particularly interested in sex any longer. We are open to allowing each other freedom, with full disclosure, and have occasionally done this. When I watch music videos of John Sebastian in his 20s, I cream my jeans. And I have noticed similar reactions to sweet, intelligent young men in their 20s and 30s. I don’t necessarily discriminate on the basis of age and if a cute guy or gal in my age group came on to me, I’d consider the offer. But what I’d really like is a young man who finds me attractive and would be interested in seducing, or being seduced by, yours truly, even though I’m old enough to be his grandma. Wicked Older Woman
One study puts the percentage of people attracted to senior citizens at .15 percent of the population. That means there are more than 11 million gerontophiles of all ages out there. We’ve already established that math is hard, WOW, so I’m not going to try to figure out how many gerontophiles are in their 20s and 30s. But there should be lots. And there are probably a few non-gerontophile guys (and gals) out there who are willing to take a walk on the postmenopausal side. How to make it happen? The same way everyone else does: Get online and advertise for what you want (clearly and explicitly), and get out of the house (you never know who you’ll meet). Then seize – safely – the opportunities that come your way. My partner and I – both 40something males – had a threesome with a very cute 20something college student who approached us online. He considers himself straight and has a girlfriend, but he “has been wondering” about his sexuality. The evening went incredibly well, but he had the typical “curious guy” freak-out the day after. Texts and emails flooded in – he wanted (more) guarantees about our health status even though we played safe during sex. He said he told his girlfriend (“She was understanding but pissed!”). He also said that we could never get together again. Then he started drunk-texting us at night, offering to send us more sexy photos and talking about how much he wanted to see us again. Sober texts arrived in the morning apologizing for his drunken behavior. We’ve tried to be there, not just for the sex but also his process afterward. Did we do this guy a disservice by engaging with him? Curious Over Curious Kid
It might look like you’re not honoring the campsite rule (“Leave ’em in better shape than you found ’em”) because this guy is a mess right now. But some queers can’t seem to accept themselves until after a clarifying queer sexual encounter or three. In all likelihood, this 20something will one day look back at his “typical ‘curious guy’ freakout” as an important part of his coming-out process as a gay or bi man. So you probably did him a favor. As for the girlfriend: If she exists, she should dump him. Not because of your actions, COCK, but because of his. A priest and a rabbi come on to a podcast … savagelovecast.com.
