Autumn Harvest My wife, Gay, has the old wooden mixing bowl her grandmother used. Granny Lily made biscuits twice a day: flour, buttermilk, lard and soda, accented with home-churned butter and homemade jelly. The smell of buttermilk even now reminds her of Granny Lily, since Gay stood about nose high to the mixing bowl while she watched those biscuits being made (and learned how to make them—even without the lard).

Those biscuits fueled a family farm, though even as Gay watched them being made, the main family income was earned off the farm, and that was the trend all over Georgia and all across America, while bread became Wonder Bread, no longer made by hand at home or in local bakeries, and vegetables were trucked in, and meat came in from Kansas City, fortified with hormones.

Our lifetimes have gone from Granny Lily to Archer Daniels Midland, from the independent farm to the factory farm and at the same time from the City Café to Subway. The farm programs that aided the family farmer during the Depression of the 1930s now aid corporate profits. Corporations have sucked up government support; they have lined their pockets with congressmen and senators happy to take their money. Agriculture has become a closed system of mutual interest between agricorporations and agri-congressmen. There’s nothing wrong with profits. I enjoy them occasionally myself. But stockholderdriven corporations can do nothing that lessens in any way the profits that drive stock prices.

Corporations expose us daily to the barrage of ads Those biscuits fueled for all the foods guaranteed a family farm. to make us fat and sick, and then bombard us nightly with ads for high-priced medicines to control our weight and all the ailments our bad eating has brought us.

We’re fat, diabetic and cancerous, and the government can’t say much about it. Nobody can suggest that some of this may be because of the diet we’re force-fed. The corporations aren’t going to tell us, and the medical, insurance, pharmaceutical and hospital industries live off our conditions.

Some people didn’t get the message. Some people kept on farming and figuring out how to grow vegetables without reliance on pesticides, with ingenuity and their own sweat instead of migrant labor with no stockholders demanding their cut: vegetables and meat grown at home and sold near home. And people began to taste the difference in that homegrown food and in home-baked bread and homemade jams and pasta and, yes, music. Music is analogous to farm-grown food, because in spite of the corporatization of American music, people have continued to make it for home consumption, and there’s no question that hearing and seeing a band beats a CD every time.

And, as we have caught on to the value of fresh food, restaurants have sprung up to provide it to us, transformed by chefs who have taught us just how good fresh food can be.

Farmers markets sprang up to bring producers together with customers, accompanied by music, of course. And the customers initially were those who had the education to understand why diets full of fresh vegetables are good for us and had the money to pay for that better quality and taste. Early on, the markets began searching for ways to be more inclusive, to bring in more customers not as familiar with the benefits of fresh food, not as able to pay for it. Then Wholesome Wave Georgia came along, and the partnership was in place.

Wholesome Wave is a focused, no-red-tape accelerator that leverages government nutrition programs to double the dollars available for eligible people to spend on fresh food, thus increasing the amount that goes to the farmers for their labors.

Meanwhile, the majority in the House of Representatives wants to defund the very nutrition programs that form the cornerstone of this partnership. All the more reason to dig in and help this coalition that is bringing us back into touch with our roots. Nothing is more basic than food, and nothing is simpler and more direct in straightening out our food values than Wholesome Wave—unless Granny Lily could come back.

A few residents worried that Millworks would clash with industries in the area, but Boulevard Neighborhood Association President Dan Lorentz and others pointed out that this is exactly the type of development many of us want in Athens.

The planning commission agreed, unanimously recommending approval.

Who’s Going to Run Against Nancy?

Vanilla Ice: Commissioner Jerry NeSmith did not stop, collaborate and listen when Classic Center Executive Director Paul Cramer told him about a brand new invention.

A month after voting against bleachers, a scoreboard, icemaking equipment and additional parking at the Classic Center, NeSmith and commissioners Jared Bailey and Allison Wright last week tried to cut a $5.4 million bond issue for the project.

Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know.

NeSmith said the Classic Center has a raised floor that may not be able to hold the weight of the ice. Commissioner Andy Herod ran a quick Google search and waxed a chump like a candle, informing everyone that it is possible to turn a raised floor into an ice rink. “I’m no engineer, but I do know how to use the Internet,” he said.

Then Cramer rocked the mic like a vandal, telling the commission that the floor isn’t raised, it’s a slab of poured concrete.

5# (312 0#!#'4#" -30 * 0%#12 1&'.+#,2 -$ ',4#,2-07 #4#0

NeSmith also said he doubts that the Classic Center can draw big-time ice shows. To which Cramer replied, “We have got an excellent track record of attracting major shows to this community that no one thought we could.” Anything less than the best is a felony.

Four under 40: Georgia Trend released its 2013 “Forty Under Forty” list last week, and Athens is well represented. (They missed a certain alternative weekly editor, though.) The list includes Matt Bishop, 38, the director of UGA’s Fanning Institute; April Ingle, 39, the executive director of the Georgia River Network; and Eric NeSmith, 33, a vice president at his father Dink’s company, Community Newspapers Inc. Another name might be familiar to local political junkies with long memories: Blake Tillery. As a UGA undergraduate, he ran against Alice Kinman for an open commission seat in 2004 and narrowly lost. He is now a lawyer and chairman of the Toombs County Commission. Looks like Kinman taught him a thing or two, in addition to English.

No one, so far, and it’s getting late.

Mayor Nancy Denson officially launched her re-election bid Sunday, Sept. 29 with a reception at her house in Forest Heights. The media was not invited to this event, so I have nothing to report, other than people who were there say attendance was good.

With the election only seven months away—remember, it’s likely to be moved up to May 20 due to a court order— no one has publicly stepped forward to run against Denson.

Commissioners Kelly Girtz and Mike Hamby, two oft-mentioned potential candidates who backed Gwen O’Looney in 2010, have opted to get along with Denson rather than try to oust her.

Another 2010 candidate, Spencer Frye, is now a promising state legislator. Former congressional candidate and Walmart crusader Russell Edwards isn’t running. Some folks have been trying to recruit former mayor Heidi Davison, but she hasn’t committed. Other than that, the rumor mill isn’t really spinning much.

Denson would be tough to beat. She won in a landslide three years ago, she’s running on a jobs platform, and now she has Caterpillar under her belt, though it’s arguable how much credit she actually deserves. Unlike Doc Eldridge when Heidi beat him in 2002, Nancy has managed to avoid a mass uprising, although she’s done lots of little things to irk progressives.

Still, it can be done. Somebody needs to step up, if only to raise issues and give people a choice. No politician should ever run unopposed.

Plus, it’ll be fun! Come on, people. Help me out here. Don’t make this job any more boring than it already is.

Office Search: Pete will keep you posted on our new digs, but Sigma Chi cleared a key hurdle last week when it won planning commission approval to turn Flagpole’s office and the apartments upstairs, and the vacant building next door into a fraternity house. Sigma Chi still needs approval from the Historic Preservation Commission Wednesday, Oct. 16 and the county commission Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Hogwash: Speaking of Ingle, the Georgia Water Coalition sent out an alert calling new state Department of Natural Resources regulations, literally, hogwash. DNR is considering raising the threshold where safeguards kick in from 7,500 to 12,500 hogs.

If that doesn’t sound like much of a problem—we all poop, after all—consider that a hog produces up to four times the No. 2 of a person, and that it’s collected in lagoons rather than treated, as human waste is. In North Carolina, where industrialstyle hog farming is legal, flooding from a 1999 hurricane dumped millions of gallons of liquid manure into the state’s water supply.

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division is only taking public comment at one meeting, in Atlanta, on a weekday, but comments can still be emailed to EPDComments@dnr.state. ga.us through Monday, Oct. 28. Email ingle@garivers.org for a sample letter.

Mayor Nancy Denson bundles up to kick off her re-election campaign by performing in Broadway on Ice at the Classic Center.

Millworks: The Athens-Clarke County Planning Commission signed off last week on Millworks, an exciting adaptive reuse project at the former Southern Mill off Oneta Street consisting of multifamily units, commercial space and live/work artists’ lofts and studios.

“It’s our vision that this will not only be a workforce housing development, but something that can serve as a center for the arts and the procurement of arts in this area,” said Scott Haines of Williams and Associates, the project’s architects.

More Water News: State and local officials, including Gov. Nathan Deal, officially broke ground Friday, Oct. 4, on the Hard Labor Creek reservoir on the Walton-Oconee County line.

Flagpole ran a story in August 2012, based on a report by the environmental group American Rivers, on the ballooning $350 million price tag for the reservoir and the environmental risk involved. It also showed that the reservoir may not be needed, because population growth estimates were far too optimistic.

GO DAWGS!

The Real Death Panel If you are looking for ground zero in the fight against the Affordable Care Act, it is right here in Georgia. Some of the state’s top Republicans have made stopping the program, known informally as Obamacare, the ultimate goal of their political career.

Gov. Nathan Deal hates the program so much that when he was running in 2010, he delayed his resignation from Congress so that he could vote one more time against final passage of the ACA. Deal declined to have Georgia participate in running the insurance exchange where consumers are supposed to shop online for health insurance coverage. He also turned down more than $3 billion a year in federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage.

Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens hasn’t just criticized Obamacare, he’s tried to blow up the program by blocking the efforts of the navigators who are supposed to help consumers handle the intricacies of the insurance exchanges. “We’re doing everything in our power to be an obstructionist,� Hudgens boasted in a recent speech.

U.S. Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ranger) sponsored several measures that would have allowed the federal government to remain operating after Sept. 30 only if the healthcare act was defunded.

Although the Republican-controlled House passed Graves’ defunding measures, they were voted down in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Obamacare was still in operation even while the federal government was shut down.

The moves by Graves, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Athens) and Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta) to defund the healthcare act were a desperate attempt to prevent the launch of the insurance exchanges, a major component of the healthcare law, before their Oct. 1 start date.

I never could understand their desperation.

If Obamacare is really as flawed as they say, then they should allow the act to take effect and let it collapse of its own weight. They

could then use the failure of the program as a potent issue in next year’s elections.

I tried to sign up for coverage on the federal exchange. Because I am not covered by a group plan, I have only been able to buy an individual policy that provides poor coverage at a ruinous premium. It’s the only policy the private market would offer me, so I thought I might find more reasonably priced coverage through the online insurance exchange.

I spent many hours at my computer after Oct. 1 trying in vain to determine what rates were being offered and how I could sign up for coverage. I failed utterly. Every attempt to review the rates offered by the insurers resulted in a computer crash, or by my being thrown off the system entirely.

As for actually obtaining a health insurance policy, it was clear after many failed efforts that it wasn’t going to happen.

It seemed as if the insurance exchanges were set up to make sure people like me would never get through and find coverage.

We have a federal agency, the NSA, that has enough computer power to monitor every one of your phone calls, read every email you send, and track every search you conduct on Google. But the Department of Health and Human Services cannot provide a computer system capable of doing such simple things as allowing you to check health insurance rates.

I hope that uninsured consumers are somehow able to obtain insurance through the ACA, because millions of them can’t get coverage through the traditional private market.

Based on my own experiences, however, I’m not sure if the healthcare act is going to be the solution to that problem. If the federal government does not find a computer system that works, then Nathan Deal, Ralph Hudgens and Paul Broun may very well be the ones who declare victory on this issue.

Cupcake Games Weak Opponents Leave Bad Taste in Merchants’, Fans’ Mouths

UGA linebacker Leonard Floyd takes down a North Texas player Sept. 21. The Bulldogs ran away with the game 45-21.

B

ehind the scenes of the Georgia Bulldogs’ game day weekends is a delicate balancing act of scheduling.

A vital part of UGA’s plan, besides winning, is to arrange as many home games as it can, which can be a costly endeavor. The team’s schedule not only contributes to fans’ happiness and the university’s bottom line, but to the health of the Athens economy.

The University of Georgia Athletic Association agreed to pay North Texas University $975,000 for that school’s trip to Sanford Stadium a few weeks ago, and Appalachian State will receive $325,000 for making the trek from Boone, NC, Saturday, Nov. 9.

Many fans deride these games—played against lesser-tier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) teams or schools from minor conferences in the stronger Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)—as “cupcakes,” also known as an “easy win,” and criticize the exorbitant expense.

“As a season ticket holder, that seems odd,” Bryce Cannon says. “You could make money instead of spend money.”

Fans spend a lot of time and money obtaining tickets.

A UGA alumnus spends a significant amount of money for a “membership fee,” which consists of an 80-percent tax-deductible “donation” of roughly around $1,000. Donations earn priority points, which accumulate over time and increase the chances of getting seats.

“To get away-game tickets, it took almost six years worth of points,” Cannon says.

Those selected to receive season tickets are still on the hook for $250 per seat, plus the $40 face value for every game.

Even with the extensive transaction, Cannon says that he attends every home game, cupcake or not.

Scheduling Strategy Josh Brooks, associate athletic director for internal operations, says he understands and appreciates the feedback of fans who want the Bulldogs to play a higher tier team every game. But, he asks, “What’s the risk/reward factor of playing those games? You’d sure help strengthen the schedule, but a loss is a loss.”

In the Southeastern Conference, each team has to play eight matchups against conference opponents. Traditional rival

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 9, 2013

Georgia Tech makes it nine games that are automatically on the schedule every year.

Brooks adds that it wouldn’t make sense for the Bulldogs to be the only team to “step out and play 12 BCS opponents” when other teams usually play eight or nine. And this year, the Bulldogs are actually playing 10 teams that are eligible for the Bowl Championship Series, the system that selects the national champion.

After Brooks presents the various options for scheduling, the final decisions are left up to Athletic Director Greg McGarity and Coach Mark Richt.

“My goal in choosing games for us to play is I want to win a national championship,” Brooks says. “So, everything starts with that, and we work backwards from there.”

Beyond the financial benefits for the traveling team’s athletic budget, it also provides opportunities in the form of “exposure and learning experiences,” says Jennifer Samp, a member of the UGA Council and the UGA Athletic Association board.

When teams like Appalachian State play nationally ranked teams, such as the Bulldogs, the spotlight gives them a great advantage for being discovered, according to Samp. “It’s not always as easy a game as people think,” she says. “If the team with the higher level of national exposure doesn’t take it seriously, sometimes there are some pretty shocking losses.”

The Appalachian State Mountaineers know it firsthand.

When they beat Michigan in Ann Arbor in 2007, they became the first FCS team to defeat a ranked FBS opponent.

Brooks, who was the former director of football operations for the University of Lousiana-Monroe when it upset Alabama in 2007, knows it, too. “I would never use the term ‘cupcake,’ because I’ve been on that side of the aisle,” Brooks says.

Downtown Activity When teams play at Sanford Stadium it’s mutually beneficial for downtown Athens and the university. Both make more money playing at home than away, regardless of the team, which is one of the reasons why they want “as many home games as possible” and fork out the cash for teams to come play, Brooks says. (UGA is playing six, rather than the usual seven, home games this year.)

Home games are a financial windfall for restaurants and other businesses downtown. However, not all home games are made equal. The major SEC match-ups do a better job of filling up the hotels than teams like Appalachian State, says Hannah Smith, director of marketing and communications for the Athens Convention and Visitors Bureau.

David Carter, owner of Gyro Wrap directly across Broad Street from campus, says he makes about twice as much money when Georgia plays a team that’s equally or higher ranked. The time of day also plays a pivotal role in fans’ spending patterns.

The general rule of thumb, Carter explains, is the earlier the game, the less money businesses make. Carter uses last season as an example to show the difference the game time can make.

When the Bulldogs played the University of Buffalo in 2012, the game was set for 12:20 p.m., and when they played Florida Atlantic University, kickoff was at 7:30 p.m. He says his restaurant made 15 percent less from Buffalo.

“Generally speaking, when we’re playing someone like Appalachian State or North Texas, they’ll schedule earlier in the day,” Carter says.

Brooks has little control over what time the games are played. “For the most part, it’s dictated by television,” he says.

When the Bulldogs play weaker opponents, Carter knows that it will usually be a blowout by halftime, and people will leave the area rather than go out to eat. Mid-afternoon games are the best for downtown restaurants—fans will come in for lunch, watch the game, and then eat dinner when it’s over.

Carter says Gyro Wrap had a record day of sales a few weeks ago when senior quarterback Aaron Murray secured his first win against then-No. 6 South Carolina, a 3:30 p.m. game.

“I was here when we had a losing season back in the early ‘90s,” Carter recalls, “and there was one game where I had my crew all ready to go, and nothing happened. I walked out onto the sidewalk and looked in both directions, and there was nobody.”

That’s another reason why all the scheduling decisions Brooks makes are with a national championship in mind.

“If you win the national championship, everything else will take care of itself,” says Brooks. “Doesn’t matter if you have the toughest, best schedule in the world, if you’re 6-6, it’s not going to help fill Sanford Stadium or help the local economy.”

The North Korean human rights crisis is largely underestimated and misunderstood due to the nation’s extreme isolationism and totalitarian control under three generations of the Kim dynasty.

Accounts by many of the hundreds of thousands who have managed to escape North Korea have revealed atrocities. Its lack of economic development and open trade have led to state-run, global-scale operations in drug trafficking, currency counterfeiting and weapons trading.

Following the defeat of Japan in World War II, an arbitrary line was drawn across the Korean Peninsula at the 38th parallel, with the U.S.S.R. occupying the north and U.S. forces occupying the south. Each of these powers installed a leader friendly to its ideology, with Kim Il-Sung (father of recently-deceased Kim Jong-Il and grandfather of current leader Kim Jong-Un) assuming power in the north.

For many years, North Korea’s abundant mineral resources, cheap labor, and substantial U.S.S.R. and Chinese backing supported a limited economy. In the 1980s, Deng Xiaoping’s reformist Communist Party abolished much of China’s support of North Korea, including the chemical fertilizers and pesticides necessary for large-scale crop production in the nation’s otherwise challenging agricultural lands. The 1991 dissolution of the U.S.S.R. ended the other main source of support for North Korea, which lacks a diversified economy, precluding independent sustainability.

foreign media is making many North Koreans intolerant of their dire living conditions.

Leaving is difficult. The South Korean border is manned by North Korea’s “Million Man Army” and littered with land mines. The Russian border is a mere 12-mile stretch of the deep, difficult-to-cross Tumen River. Therefore, the partially fortified 880-mile border with China is the easiest option for escaping.

As an ally of the Kim government, China’s policy is to repatriate any North Korean defectors found within its borders, which guarantees gulag imprisonment. Thus, defectors in

Making the Eastside Kroger Walkable

Bread and Bites

Kroger presented a plan to the AthensClarke County Planning Commission in July to build a new store replacing its current College Station Road location. Kroger wants to dramatically upgrade that store in the same way it recently enlarged its Alps Road location.

To get what it wants, Kroger needs approval for a planned development, thereby allowing the company to waive dozens of ACC’s current design standards. Many of these standards are meant to make developments more attractive to pedestrians, but our minimum parking requirements undermine the point of these standards.

As people in Athens and across the country continue to demand more pedestrian-oriented developments and neighborhoods, we should seriously reconsider the antiquated attitude of catering to the car and revise our minimum parking requirements.

Several of the 25 requested design waivers could, if granted, negatively affect the walkability of the center. Many of the waivers are being requested because our design standards would eliminate many of their entitled parking spaces.

Take, for example, the request to waive part of a requirement that calls for pedestrian walkways in parking lots. Kroger’s plan has a walkway that connects to the internal street, but instead of taking pedestrians to the entrance of Kroger, it drops them off about 150 feet south. Planning commissioners objected to this in July and demanded a more direct route to the entrance.

In addition, Kroger’s plan failed to meet minimum tree requirements and minimum public plaza requirements. As long as parking spaces are entitlements, reaching an agreeable plan will be an arduous process.

Does Kroger really need this much parking?

The initial plan submitted by Kroger is a vast improvement over the current situation.

Anyone who has ever visited that shopping center knows how much of a hassle it is to navigate the parking lot by car or by foot.

There is very little structure for the movement of cars or people, resulting in a chaotic atmosphere for everyone.

Kroger’s plan calls for extending the sidewalk-lined street that runs through the Georgetown Shopping Center into its development and creating several new intersections.

That should make both drivers and pedestrians feel much safer as they go from their cars or the sidewalk to the stores.

Though the extension of the street creates a more pedestrian-friendly environment, as long as our design standards fundamentally value cars over people, the Kroger center will never truly be hospitable to walkers. Our current design standards provide, by right, ample or excessive parking. In this case Kroger must have at least one parking space for every 300 square feet of retail space, or about 350 spaces for the new store, which will be more than 100,000 square feet.

ACC has other design standards meant to make this excessive parking aesthetically pleasing and more pedestrian-friendly. Many suburban developers are opposed to any restrictions on parking. Developing for the car is all they know, or they aren’t willing to reduce parking while other developments have ample parking. Kroger’s current situation, coupled with our growing demand for walkability, is evidence that we need to make fundamental changes by revisiting parking requirements and disrupting the status quo.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 9, 2013

When we talk about design standards to promote walkability, parking requirements are clearly the elephant in the room. There is only so much we can do for walkability when we require excessive amounts of land to be devoted to the car.

Minimum parking requirements were implemented throughout the country in the latter part of the 20th Century as a means of accommodating and promoting the increasingly popular automobile. Times have changed. We don’t necessarily want to eliminate the car, but we are less excited about it, and we do want the ability to walk and bike safely. ACC has great design standards meant to encourage pedestrian activity and make walkers feel safe, but those only operate in the framework of minimum parking requirements.

Kroger wants to improve and expand, and our planning commissioners appear to want more walkability, but since Kroger will avoid giving up its parking spaces at all costs, it’s going to be a game of tug of war. We should seriously consider revising the minimum parking requirements downwards to allow our pedestrian-oriented design standards to be more easily implemented.

A more fundamental change could be to place the burden on developers to request more parking by eliminating minimum parking altogether and only imposing maximum parking restrictions. In situations like Kroger’s, that type of system could avoid fights over parking and walkability and speed up the approval process and Athens’ economic growth.

Seared into my brain.

But now, I shall have my revenge.

Because now that the Affordable Care Act is in place, health insurers can no longer charge women a premium for having ovaries, according to healthcare.gov, the ACA website where the uninsured can sign up for plans.

Also, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already pregnant and signing up for insurance, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be denied coverage because of your â&#x20AC;&#x153;pre-existing condition.â&#x20AC;?

As an added bonus, health plans also must cover preventative care, like screening for gestational diabetes, breastfeeding support and

Obamacare Is Obabycare

I remember the conversation as if it were seared into my brain.

I was on the phone while driving up U.S. Highway 129 for a freelancing gig at the start of a now three-year-old experiment in flying solo professionally. My daughter, 3 at the time, was at that age when most parents recover from the fog of the first pregnancy and feel confidently foolish enough to tackle another one.

And so I made the call to my health insurance provider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to find out about my maternity coverage,â&#x20AC;? I told the young man on the other end of the phone. He hesitated, then said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Um, you are on an individual plan. Your plan does not include any maternity benefits.â&#x20AC;?

Surely, I thought, there had to be some mistake. I had a $10,000 deductible, which means, even with negotiated rates, I would be paying for at least halfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or moreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of the cost of having a second child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Um, OK,â&#x20AC;? I continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, how much would it cost to add maternity coverage to my plan?â&#x20AC;? The answer: Another $600 a month, my daughter not included. Oh, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually give birth to the baby for 12 months after the coverage started, otherwise the procedure wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be covered.

I felt like someone punched me in the gut.

Too many questions swirled in my head. Would

who have longed for another child but simply couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swing it financially. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to price the cost of labor and delivery in this area for several years now; still waiting for callbacks from both Athens hospitals on the prices. (Seriously, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Athens Regional, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called several departments several times over several years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty ridiculous.)

For a more general estimate, look up the Healthcare Blue Book (www.healthcarebluebook.com). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great online tool to find the cost of most any procedure, based on your location. In Athens, the cost for delivery should be $5,900-$8,500. Of course, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include any pain medication (or to pay for the doctor to administer it), nor does it count your stay in the hospital. Six years ago, my company-sponsored insurer paid $900 a night.

Then I got to thinking: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly $2,600 to have a baby in the United Kingdom. Although, by most accounts I found, the National Health Service will pay for your labor/delivery charges. But I would want to pay my way anyway. I can rent an apartment in Leeds for $2,000, drop another $1,500 on a plane ticketâ&#x20AC;Ś I think you see where this is going. Dual citizenship!

Bottom line, no matter how you feel about the health insurance changes, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny that this is a big step forward in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care and strengthening families. Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe health care is a right, every woman has the right to give birth if she wants to, without worrying about how much debt sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be incurring. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pro-family, then embrace Obamacare.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week.

• indicates new review BAGGAGE CLAIM (PG-13) This romantic comedy about a stewardess, Montana (Paula “Mrs. Robin Thicke” Patton), conducting a transcontinental search for a spouse wastes a talented cast (Patton, Derek Luke, Taye Diggs, Djimon Hounsou and Ned Beatty) in a sub-Tyler Perry situation. Many (not all) of Perry’s movies leave something to vaguely recommend, but David E. Talbert’s adaptation of his own novel does not. There’s little to nothing to see or like here. Don’t bother making this connection.

BATTLE OF THE YEAR (PG-13) The Battle of the Year attracts breakdancing teams from around the world. The American team hasn’t won the trophy in 15 years. Josh Holloway (Sawyer from “Lost”) stars as the basketball coach tasked with turning these individual superstars, including Chris Brown and Josh Peck (Red Dawn), into a team.

The presence of Brown is an immediate turnoff. k CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (PG-13) In this high seas action-adventure based on a true story, Tom Hanks stars as Captain Richard Phillips, whose ship, the Maersk Alabama, became the first American ship to be hijacked in 200 years, thanks to a band of Somali pirates. Teaming up with Hanks could lead The Bourne Supremacy/Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass to double his Oscar nominations (one for directing United 93).

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 (PG) The animated family comedy, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, wasn’t quite one for which a sequel seemed necessary. Inventor Flint Lockwood (v. Bill Hader) is working for The Live Corp Company when he must leave his job to investigate claims that his machine is creating food-animal hybrids. This flick sounds like it barely escaped a direct to DVD launch.

DON JON (R) So actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt can do little wrong in my opinion, and his feature writing/ directing debut absolutely succeeds despite its strange late film tonal shift.

Jersey boy Jon (Gordon-Levitt) loves the ladies, his pad, his car, his family, his boys, his church and his porn.

But when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), Jon learns he might have to give up his favorite pastime. This awfully adult dramedy might

make some viewers uncomfortable with its rather frank sexuality, especially regarding Jon’s porn watching habits.

But mature audiences will enjoy an all too topical discussion of how the Internet has potentially changed young people’s sexual expectations with its easy access pornography.

ENOUGH SAID (PG-13) Julia Louis Dreyfus plays a single mother who meets a man with potential (James Gandolfini), only to find out he’s her new friend’s ex.

THE FAMILY (R) Fred Blake (Robert De Niro) and his family are in international witness protection under the gruff, watchful eye of Tommy Lee Jones’ FBI agent, but the real people who need protecting are the Blake/ Manzoni’s neighbors. The Blake/ Manzoni family are all sociopathic gangsters. Talk about ugly Americans.

Gallic filmmaker Luc Besson has spent recent years focusing on writing and producing such hits as The Transporters and the Takens and less time directing the action movies upon which he built his name. Great mob movies are a treasure; mob comedies, as a genre, need to be buried.

THE FIFTH ESTATE (R) This biopic about Julian Assange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the controversial Internet hero slash traitor. Director Bill Condon needs another great film (i.e. Gods and Monsters) to recover his reputation from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2, which are arguably the series’ best entries.

The supporting cast—Daniel Bruhl, Carice von Houten, Stanley Tucci, Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie and David Thewlis—is strong, especially with Bruhl coming off his strong work in Rush.

GRACE UNPLUGGED (PG) Grace Trey is a Christian singer/songwriter and daughter of one-hit-wonder Johnny Trey. Seeking stardom, Grace leaves her small, church-centered town for Los Angeles.

• GRAVITY (PG-13) Yes. Children of Men filmmaker Alfonse Cuaron’s latest film is as great as you have heard.

An astronaut (George Clooney) and a doctor (Sandra Bullock) must work together to survive an accident in the cold, silent confines of space. Gravity is an acting tour de force by Bullock (this movie is essentially her Cast Away) and the most incredible special

effects driven film I have ever seen. See it in 3D/IMAX if you can, as the film reminded me of Six Flags’ Chevy Show.

You feel like you are in space, which is simultaneously awe-inspiringly beautiful and coldly dangerous. Though a science fiction film, Gravity is the most harrowing cinematic experience I can remember. It’s often more terrifying than any recent horror film. Cuaron has cured me of any lingering desires to travel into space. He has also proven himself to be the single most intriguing major filmmaker working today. Taking two mega-stars and placing them in a straight up disaster movie that is heavily reliant on special effects takes so much vision and control to keep the spectacle from overwhelming the humanity. Gravity is heavyweight genre filmmaking that never lets up. It is intense, but you cannot miss it.

LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER (PG-13) This crowd-pleasing slice of historical nostalgia chronicles the major events of the second half of the 20th century through the eyes of White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forrest Whitaker). With its exceptional cast— Robin Williams, James Marsden, Liev Schreiber, John Cusack and Alan Rickman—The Butler overcomes the natural tendency of such films to drift into sentimental nostalgia.

MACHETE KILLS (R) Robert Rodriguez brings ex-Federale-turnedspy Machete (Danny Trejo) back in this Grindhouse throwback. The U.S. government, led by President Rathcock (Charlie Sheen), hires Machete to combat a crazed revolutionary (Demian Bechir) who has a missile aimed at Washington. Soon, Machete learns the real enemy is arms dealer Luther Voz (Mel Gibson) who has plans to destabilize the entire world. Trejo will again be joined by Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Tom Savini. Newcomers

Argue all you want about what a great guy Sandler is, because at this point in his career you’ll find it impossible to convince someone he’s still funny, or better yet, relevant.

IN A WORLD… (R) Lake Bell is one talented lady. She’s funny, pretty and not a shabby writer-director. Her directorial debut, In a World…, won Sundance’s award for Best Screenplay.

Bell stars as Carol, a voice coach who longs to crack the movie trailer voiceover glass ceiling. Her dad just so happens to be the vocal king of movie trailers. The trailer promises a fun indie comedy. With Rob Corddry, Eva Longoria, Ken Marino, Demetri Martin, Nick Offerman and Geena Davis. (Ciné) INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED (PG-13) No Se Aceptan Devoluciones tells the story of an infamous bachelor from Mexico who becomes an unlikely father when a baby is left on his doorstep.

INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2 (PG-13) When Josh (Patrick Wilson) returned from the spirit world at the conclusion of Insidious, he didn’t return alone.

Chapter 2 is like a reverse Insidious.

Chapter 1 had its chilling, mysterious first two acts bogged down by Josh’s blah final stroll through the spirit world. The sequel painfully explicates a dumb story for two acts, relying on trite haunted house tropes like slamming doors and flying household objects, before a strong final act that finally brings callbacks to the first movie.

to the series include Sofía Vergara, Amber Heard, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexa Vega and William Sadler.

METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER (R) A fictional, thriller concert film about a Metallica groupie’s bizzare experience on the road.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G) Monsters University lacks the Pixar pop of their undeniably great features (Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3). In this prequel to Monsters, Inc., we learn how Mike (v. Billy Crystal) and Sully (v. John Goodman) met. Apparently, the two scarers didn’t start as best buds. First, they were scaring rivals at Monsters University. This Revenge of the Monster Nerds doesn’t creatively bend college life for monsters as one would expect from Pixar. Fortunately, the animation, especially the creature design, is as lush and lifelike as ever.

PANDORA’S PROMISE Part of the EcoFocus Fall Film Series, a new film

by Academy Award nominated director, Robert Stone. (Ciné) PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG) Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), must save Camp Half-Blood, the safe haven for the gods’ half-mortal children. Backed by his pals—Athena’s daughter, Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), and his Cyclops half-brother, Tyson (Douglas Smith)— Percy must defeat bland villain Luke (Jake Abel), rescue satyr Grover (Brandon Jackson) from Polyphemus and defeat a reborn Cronos. Even the all right FX cannot overcome the awful writing and charmless acting. Percy

Jackson: Sea of Monsters has almost surely sunk the chances of Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse ever seeing the light of day.

PRINCE AVALANCHE (R) Between a team up of Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch (I’ve never noticed his uncanny resemblance to Jack Black before) and music by Explosions in the Sky, the latest feature from filmmaker David Gordon Green offers so much to love.

Two guys (Rudd and Hirsch) spent the summer of 1988 working on a highway in the middle of the wilderness. Green won the Silver Berlin Bear for Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival. (Ciné) PRISONERS (R) Don’t head into Prisoners if you’re in the mood for some lighthearted escapism. On a rainy Thanksgiving, two young girls go missing. The parents, Keller and Grace Dover (Hugh Jackman and Maria Bello) and Franklin and Nancy Birch (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis), look everywhere but eventually turn to the police, represented by Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal). A dark morality play from Contraband scripter Aaron Guzikowski, the two and a half hour Prisoners lasts a while. As Jackman’s co-lead, Gyllenhaal furthers separates himself from his pretty peers, though Guzikowski could have opened up Loki a bit more for the audience. He remains more a determined cipher than a complete character as his dogged drive is never examined.

PUSHIN’ UP DAISIES (PG-13) A filmmaker’s documentary about flowers becomes something entirely different once zombies take over the world.

(Ciné) RED 2 (PG-13) Retired Extremely Dangerous CIA operative Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is trying to live a quiet life with his girlfriend, Sarah (MaryLouise Parker). But then his paranoid pal, Martin (John Malkovich), shows up, and another caper begins. This time, the boys (and girl) are being hunted by everyone, including an old pal, Victoria Winters (Helen Mirren), and an old enemy, Han Cho Bai (Byung-hun Lee). The quips fly as fast as the bullets, and the script by Jon and Erich Hoeber isn’t as lousy a shot as one might expect from the Whiteout writers. Red 2 won’t set the world on fire, but if your old 80s action VHS tapes have worn thin, this new movie will fit the bill quite nicely.

ROMEO AND JULIET (PG-13) The latest version of Shakespeare’s seminal work about star-crossed lovers stars True Grit Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet, opposite Douglas Booth’s Romeo. The cast (Damien Lewis as Lord Capulet, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Benvolio, Stellan Skarsgard as the Prince of Verona and Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence) is solid without crushing it. Director Carlo Carlei benefits from having a script by the inimitable Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey” is so good!), but how will it ever out-teenage Baz’s R+J? • RUNNER RUNNER (R) Where the week’s other wide release, Gravity, is the most original piece of genre filmmaking I have seen in years, Runner Runner is a dose of same old same old. Young buck, Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake), loses his tuition money gambling online. As a Princeton man, he figures out he was cheated and confronts the sinister entrepreneur, Ivan

Block (Ben Affleck), who cheated him.

Surprisingly, Ivan offers Richie a job rather than just have him murdered.

Naturally, what is too good to be true is, especially when there is a beautiful Brit (Gemma Arterton) involved. If you skipped August’s Paranoia (and you should have), you could catch up with Runner Runner. But then again, why would you? Director Brad Furman may have surprised audiences with the sly Lincoln Lawyer, but he cannot do it again, despite a ravenous, Cagney-esque performance by Affleck as an Internet gangster. Timberlake adds nothing to the bland protagonist.

Unless you’re a JT or Affleck fanatic, run run away.

RUSH (R) You will never know you are watching a Ron Howard film during this recreation of the 1976 Formula One battle between James Hunt (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). Howard recreates the sensational racing more realistically than any racing movie I have ever seen, and the script by Academy Award nominee Peter Morgan fashions realistic people from these larger than life race car drivers. Hemsworth is terrific at being likably arrogant, but we all knew that from Thor and The Avengers.

It is Bruhl, best known to American audiences from Inglourious Basterds, who captivates. Whether or not you like racing (stock car or formula) or Ron Howard films, Rush is that rare adult action drama that never loses speed on or off the track.

SALINGER (PG-13) Filmmaker Shane Salerno attempts to solve the mystery that is J.D. Salinger. Salerno interviewed 150 subjects, many of whom were close to the reclusive author.

Famous folk like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Danny DeVito, Martin Sheen, Tom Wolfe, E.L. Doctorow and Pulitzer Prize winners A. Scott Berg and Elizabeth Frank also contribute their thoughts on Salinger and his influential works, particularly The Catcher in the Rye. (Ciné) SNAKE & MONGOOSE (PG-13) Based on a true story, Snake & Mongoose tells the tale of two drag racers.

TURBO (PG) After a first act highlighted by endearing animation and stellar voice work from Ryan Reynolds and Paul Giamatti, Turbo gets stupid, as the main mollusk is imbued with the abilities of a car after a freak accident involving a street racer and some nitrous. Turbo and his other racing snail pals head to the Indy 500, where they will face off against defending champion and world’s greatest racecar driver, Guy Gagne (v. Bill Hader).

WE’RE THE MILLERS (R) After running afoul of his drug kingpin pal (Ed Helms), Dave (Jason Sudeikis) must smuggle a smidge that turns out to be a lot more than a smidge of marijuana across the border. Dave hatches a brilliant plan to fake a family with stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), runaway teen Casey (Emma Roberts) and virginal Kenny (Will Poulter). Everything works out great until he runs into a swell DEA agent and his wife (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) and the big-time Mexican drug lord to whom the weed really belongs to catches up with them.

WE WAS HOMEBOYZ (R) Rapper Pastor Troy plays Ice, a local drug dealer trying to find a traitor and thief.

THE WOLVERINE (PG-13) A darker, more complicated hero than Marvel’s super-bankable Iron Man and SpiderMan, Wolvie poses a narrative difficulty. The Wolverine comes closest to nailing this popular, mysterious icon. Director James Mangold and writers Mark Bomback and Scott Frank chose smartly in adapting Frank Miller and Chris Claremont’s seminal 1982 limited series.

Jason Isbell Back From the Brink and Better Than Ever

W

hen I reach him by telephone, Jason Isbell is relaxing at the Nashville, TN home he shares with his wife, musician Amanda Shires. The songwriter is soaking up a few increasingly rare hours of down time before he has to hop on a plane to New York City, where he is set to play “The Late Show with David Letterman” the following day.

Isbell comes across as a man who has gotten used to the attention that has come his way—attention that mandates things like NPR appearances, Wall Street Journal and New York Times Magazine profiles, and, of course, “Letterman” performances—but who has not been quite altered by it. He still speaks in that familiar drawl, quiet and confident and quick with a correction, gentle though it may be.

The attention has come (on a grander scale, anyway) relatively suddenly. It has come because of Southeastern, Isbell’s third and finest solo record, which he released earlier this year.

Mostly, it has come because of what the record represents: redemption, sacrifice, change.

Since Isbell, known during his days with the Athens-based Drive-By Truckers as the group’s hardest-living member, quit the bottle and entered rehab early last year on the urging of Shires and several other friends, including musician Ryan Adams, who underwent a similar transformation several years ago, he says he has grown braver, more willing to give himself to the world.

“I’m not afraid of being embarrassed,” Isbell says. “I’ve heard people say about quitting drinking, and also about my relationship, ‘If you talk too much about these private things in public, it’s a good way to be embarrassed.’ But I don’t think any of those people have ever been through the recovery process,” he chuckles. “It’s pretty much impossible to embarrass a recovering [alcoholic]. We’ve all been embarrassed plenty enough.”

The songs on Southeastern reflect Isbell’s newfound openness. The opener, a gorgeous acoustic ballad called “Cover Me Up,” is an unabashed thank-you note to Shires wherein Isbell sings openly about how she saved him from his doomed life.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 9, 2013

“Girl, leave your boots by the bed/ We ain’t leavin’ this room,” he belts during the chorus, the surest and strongest his road-worn voice has ever sounded. “’Til someone needs medical help/ Or the magnolias bloom.”

Southeastern is not all hyper-personal balladry and intimate reveal, though even its most ostensibly detached moments owe, on some level, to Isbell’s lifestyle shift. On “Elephant,” the album’s most poignant track, Isbell speaks from the perspective of one broken barfly to another, the latter of whom is dying.

“When she was drunk she made cancer jokes/ Made up her own doctor’s notes,” the song goes. “Surrounded by her family/ I saw that she was dying alone.”

In an interview with “Fresh Air” host Terri Gross in July, Isbell explained that the characters in “Elephant” are fictional, but admitted that the song’s premise was drawn from the songwriter’s experience sitting around in various Alabama dive bars.

“Gradually, the regulars would start to disappear,” he told Gross. “Almost always, it was cancer-related. Over time, there were probably eight or nine people who just would sort of vanish almost right before your very eyes.” The implication is that this was Isbell, too—succumbing quietly to his illness, vanishing before his very own eyes.

Indeed, this is one of the most captivating aspects of Southeastern: though it is obviously Isbell’s most personal effort to date, his songs are also more character-driven than ever.

“When I quit drinking, I started reading a whole lot,” he says. “I always read quite a bit, but I had way more time to do it. I was really moved by Denis Johnson’s work, and Peter Matthiessen’s work. [And] of course Cormac McCarthy. I think there’s a lot to be taken from that whole world if you spend enough time with it.”

Of course, all fiction is based in truth; like his literary heroes, Isbell understands that experience is the seed from which good writing grows.

“I think if you keep enough good stuff coming in, and

spend enough time working on what you’re writing, and think of it as a job, like the way novelists treat their job, you’re gonna end up writing something good,” he says. “And, to me, melodrama’s not necessarily very good. I don’t wanna come off like Nicholas Sparks. I don’t think any good songwriter does.”

At

the heart of Isbell’s new album—in its title, even— is the geographic area where Isbell was born and raised and where he still chooses to reside. There’s no doubt Southeastern is a Southern record, specked as it is with dirt, twang and that slippery mix of glinting irony and dead-set honesty native to the region. The South—and, more specifically, Alabama—has been at the center of Isbell’s songwriting since the beginning, since his unexpected first days with the Truckers (perhaps the most Southern band in the whole damn world).

But while the Truckers’ other two principal songwriters, Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, push their homeland to the forefront, often making it the starring character (see: “Lookout Mountain,” “Space City,” anything on Southern Rock Opera), Isbell has always approached the matter in a subtler way. In his songs, the South is atmospheric, a steadfast but largely tacit backdrop for his intricate, interpersonal tales. He is certainly aware of, and indebted to, the complex mythos involved, but not, as his country-rocking colleagues so often seem to be, hung up on it. Simply put, Isbell has spent his whole life here, and it’s here that informs his music.

Southeastern is bound to place, although place is rarely mentioned. (The rare but glaring exception is “Stockholm,” the album’s second track. Isbell sings of time spent in the titular Scandinavian burg and how it rendered him lonely and lost: “A thousand years from my home/ In this frozen old city of silver and stone.”)

On “Live Oak,” Isbell juxtaposes the main character’s former rough-and-tumble self with his current, seemingly reformed one. The result is a gripping exploration of how we hide our true identities from one another, even in the smallest of towns;

Isbell approaches the subject matter with deep concern.

“Rumors of my wickedness/ Had reached our little town,” he sings on the track. “Soon she’d heard about the boys/ I used to hang around.”

On album closer “Relatively Easy,” Isbell delivers a particularly striking first chorus: “You should know, compared to people on a global scale/ Our kind has had it relatively easy/ Here with you, there’s always something to look forward to/ My angry heart beats relatively easy.” It nods to the album’s key themes—love, place, grace—while avoiding either melodrama or insularity.

For Isbell, even the title of Southeastern represents more than strictly geography.

“I stay away from the word ‘heritage,’ Isbell says. “I think that’s ridiculous. I see a lot of bumper stickers, and it’s just white people trying to stand up for themselves… [The South is] where I’m from, and I write about where I’m from, because I know the place so well. For me, growing up in this part of the

Halloween Scary Story Contest

“It’s pretty much impossible to embarrass a recovering alcoholic,” says Isbell. “We’ve all been embarrassed plenty enough.” country, I was close to my family out of necessity, and I probably wouldn’t have started playing music as early as I did if I had grown up in a city.”

Indeed, according to Isbell, if there is a great divide in America, it’s not between North and South but rather between city and country. (“People in Michigan, or upstate New York, or Northern California, even, are very similar to the rednecks we have down here,” he posits.) In person and on record he scoffs at the notion that Southernness is inherently more special than any alternative—except, of course, in one aspect.

“I was in Australia with some friends a few years ago,” he says, “and every time I would have a conversation with my friends who were from here, within a few minutes I would look up and there would be a crowd of people just listening to our accents.

“People love the Southern accent,” he continues. “Especially if you’re not saying boneheaded shit.”

The

day following our conversation, after the perennial “Stupid Human Tricks” segment, during which a venture capitalist named Dan eats Goldfish crackers off a moving treadmill, there stands Isbell onstage at the Ed Sullivan Theater, an imposing presence in his all-black suit. He is playing and singing and shouting along with some of his fellow Southeasterners.

Soul maven Candi Staton is there; The Civil Wars’ John Paul White is, too. The legendary Swampers rhythm section, a North Alabama treasure, backs up the three vocalists, who sing “I Ain’t Easy to Love,” a tune from the recent Muscle Shoals documentary.

“I ain’t easy to love,” Staton croons. “Scars have made me black and blue/ But I feel a lot less broken/ Every day I spend with you.” Isbell appears locked into the song’s easy groove, swaying softly side to side, content to let his guitar do the talking until the second verse, when his voice explodes through like a sunburst: “Right beside me through the bad times/ When anybody else would run/ I thank the Lord for you each morning/ ‘Cause I ain’t easy to love.”

He didn’t pen the tune, but it’s hard not to read Isbell’s own story into its redemptive message. Then again, the best songs are universal, for better or worse, honest and aching documents of the lives we all lead. It’s why people can feel so deeply affected by music: it’s the ultimate shared experience.

Isbell remains willing to share. “I feel like, if somewhere, somebody’s listening to the record and a little spark happens where they say, ‘Well, maybe I need to clean my shit up a little bit’—if that happens, it’s worth me risking my own little private embarrassments,” Isbell says of Southeastern.

“Sometimes it’s uncomfortable,” he continues. “But I don’t think songwriters are supposed to be particularly comfortable.

You have to be scared to be brave. If you’re not afraid to put everything out there and let everybody know anything about yourself, you’re not being brave when you finally do.”

Breaking Baths

record reviews New reviews of local albums are posted regularly on flagpole.com. Here are three releases to check out this month.

Glasscrafts: As In See Through Ships

Nice Guy Will Wiesenfeld Explores His Dark Side

W

ill Wiesenfeld, aka Baths, released his debut album, Cerulean, in 2010, when chillwave and dubstep reigned supreme, and the artists involved in those genres seemed to use their DJ booths to distance themselves from their audience.

Moodiness, often to the point of arrogance, added to the sense of detachment. But Baths deviated from the norm. Wiesenfeld skyrocketed his way out of the oversaturated L.A. electronic and club scene with an arty and experimental yet humanist take on glitch-pop.

He was, and is, a genuinely nice dude, the friendly wunderkind of digital pop music.

Wiesenfeld’s positive demeanor was one of the first things critics and fans questioned upon the release of Baths’ recent sophomore effort, Obsidian, with some likening the album to Trent Reznor’s work on the darker side of electronic music. While that comparison may be based in hyperbole, Obsidian does differ notably from Cerulean in both tone and songwriting. Where Wiesenfeld sang “It’s a breezy, beautiful day” a couple years ago, he now muses on pain and sexual frustration.

One could attribute Obsidian’s darkness to Wiesenfeld’s unfortunate bout with E. coli bacteria in 2011 and the long, arduous recovery process that followed. And, in a way, the experience was partially responsible.

“As fucked as it is, having E. coli was kind of nice step into [writing the record],” Wiesenfeld says. “I was really debilitated for three months. I could barely get out of bed, all that sort of stuff. As horrible as that was, I kind of turned that into something more positive, where I just sort of took note of how little I was actually feeling, because that was the thing. The revelation was that it was less sadness or despair, or anything like that. It was more just the absence of feeling, which was so crazy for me, being a person that’s so emotionally driven.”

Thankfully, Wiesenfeld has had ample time to recover since then. He acknowledges that, though his diet is now limited to “oil, no spicy foods, no meat, no cheese, nothing heavy,” that’s pretty much the worst of it. In fact, Wiesenfeld says he had to force his mood to drop to write Obsidian—even if it meant researching the depths of human despair.

“I am definitely a happy dude,” Wiesenfeld says. “It’s hard for me to get mad, or upset, or depressed… That was sort of the challenge of it. The one sentiment that I was trying to get inside of was, what it was like for an everyday

person during something like the Black Plague? Like, what was the feel, the emotional atmosphere during a time like that, where it just seems impossible that people were even living lives?

“It was such a nightmarish thing for me, to think about humanity at its absolute lowest points,” he continues. “I looked into a lot of weird Greek mythology stuff, about hell, all the different versions of it, and then I read Inferno, which is kind of crazy, too. It was just a lot of different details, a lot of images, and a lot of stuff that mirrored emotions I think I’ve had in my life. I wanted to tap into [that] more, and try and turn it into some warped version of pop music.”

With new material comes a new performance experience. Earlier this year, Wiesenfeld asked Morgan Greenwood, of defunct IDMpop band Azeda Booth, to accompany him on tour. Normally, Baths is a solo affair, with Wiesenfeld focusing simultaneously on vocals and manipulation of pre-programmed samples.

But, Wiesenfeld says, the addition of a band member has allowed him some breathing room. “I emote best when I’m limited to just singing,” he says.

According to Wiesenfeld, Greenwood now does all of the “geeky tech shit,” like dealing with effects, working with the drum machine and running Ableton, resulting in a show that Wiesenfeld thinks is “much more immersive than I think my set was before.” He also highlights the increased probability of improvisation, with which Baths has scarcely experimented in the past.

Of course, Wiesenfeld, the nice guy with a musical dark side, is into “geeky tech shit,” too. He’s a self-professed nerd who loves video games and is into online dating. He recently bought a Nintendo 3DS, and though he says he was underwhelmed by “Animal Crossing,” he plans to bring the console to each stop on his current tour to interact with likeminded fans on a whole new level. “I’m hoping to have it charged every night,” he says.

Independent Release HHHHH It would be an oversight not to mention the length of Glasscrafts’ new record out of the gates.

As In See Through Ships is something of a behemoth at 19 tracks. But don’t let that scare you away; the album’s lush soundscapes, cool vocal harmonies and almost-clean guitars brighten the mood throughout.

The guys that comprise Glasscrafts are also members of some of the more pop-friendly local acts (Tunabunny, Grass Giraffes), and AISTS shows faint echoes of these groups. Though it is an awfully long record, it is also a rewarding one, especially since everything here carries equal weight.

It’s an incredibly diverse record, and there aren’t any obvious favorites, only solid tunes throughout. If Cornershop-esque indie-pop (emphasis on “indie” here) is your bag, you’ll want to start midway through with “Prim and Proper.” Another highlight, “Mirage,” is something of an echo of ‘90s alternative rock. But singer Steven Trimmer’s voice is mixed far in the back, something bands like Nada Surf would never have attempted.

Although the instrumental interludes on the album, like “Future of Eyewear,” might stretch the album too far, they also do a decent job of stitching it into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, if you’ve got the time, Glasscrafts has the songs. [Dan Mistich]

Hand Sand Hands: Lord of Talk

Independent Release HHHHH Going purely off cues introduced on Hand Sand Hands’ Reded EP—self-released last August on Bandcamp—you might expect a gluttonous main course to follow that elegantly plated appetizer.

Luckily, HSH’s sole member Jonathan Miller does not disappoint with Lord of Talk, Miller’s latest offering of clatteringly blissful, drone pop.

Existing in a world of blown-out sonics and distorted-beyond-recognition instrumentation, Hand Sand Hands revels in a post-shoegaze haze that pummels the listener into noise-addled numbness while nurturing a serene scene of light and color. “Lasem das Seine” seems taken from Kevin Shields’ textbook, finding glorious snippets of looped sound in the dirtiest of places, expanding those tidbits into a head-caving squall of pure tone.

Elsewhere, Miller retreats into less concrete assaults, unfurling the melody to display its every nuance. “Oh Chorus, Split Us” is a mid-album tune that recalls Feels-era Animal Collective, transitioning between minimalistic primitivism and lo-fi effects. “17 Tons” is a blast of disjointed breakbeat, throwing its weight around the room with psychosis and Muslimgauze as its muse.

It’s disheveled, but it works in spite of itself. Miller’s cantankerous featurettes set their sights on art-pop, but end up excelling in the fringes of noise and experimental beauty. [Bobby Power]

Tony B: Occupy the Streets

Independent Release HHHHH Is Antonio Bradford the hardest-working dude in Athens hip hop? The artist known as Tony B stays so busy promoting parties around town and managing his wide-reaching Infamous Ent crew that it’s remarkable he gets any writing and recording done on his own at all. It’s even more amazing that the resulting material is as tight as it is.

Tony B’s long-awaited new mixtape, Occupy the Streets, is largely comprised of singles Bradford has leaked online over the past year or so. One by one, and without much fanfare, the songs, some with accompanying videos, have appeared on YouTube, snippets of trap-happy hip hop and studio-lush R&B that, while they did much to showcase Bradford’s formidable capability as a rapper and producer, begged to be placed in the context of a full-length album.

Although there’s not a whole lot of new-new on hand, Occupy is fluid and consistent. From the menacing, unhinged “I’on Fuck With Everybody” to the electro-tinged “Cash” and the bassthumping bedroom jam “Bust It,” the tape is proof of Bradford’s talent and his dedication.

As with most mixtapes, Occupy is averse to brevity; the all-in, all-out set of tunes occasionally flatlines. Still, one of the album’s most stunning moments comes at the end: the quietly epic closer “Life Story” is a frank and moving departure from the rest of the mixtape’s claws-out pugnacity.

threats & promises Music News And Gossip Hagood.” While you’re there, give him a hand for all his hard work coordinating this week after week.

Catch Some Rays: Lera Lynn has released a new EP in advance of her next full-length LP. It’s titled Lying In the Sun, and it’s a tightly packaged, five-song affair. The EP includes a cover version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire,” an outtake from his 1978 album Darkness On the Edge of Town and a song that became a sizable hit for The Pointer Sisters. Lynn’s version is understatedly sizzling and slightly unnerving. The cover features Lynn standing in front of a ring of fire, which reminded me pretty immediately of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Street Mike White · deadlydesigns.com

Family Video Night: Master video archivist Chip Shirley has done it again. A couple years ago, Shirley thrilled us by uploading a cool and rare Athens video, a 1986 episode of the Observer Television program “Partyline.”

This time, he’s given us an entire episode of the gone-too-soon-to-be-remembered SCOPE Video Magazine from 1999. Shirley reports that, for many years, he assumed his video files were corrupted and unusable, but it was actually his playback equipment that was wonk. Ain’t that the Athens way? The 25-minute film has proper segments featuring Jucifer, the 8-Track Gorilla, Harry Carry, Widespread Panic (from the band’s “Panic In The Streets” show in downtown Athens),

Jucifer LeGuano and Athens experimentalists Melted Men with The Olivia Tremor Control. In true “video art” fashion, there are also weird bits and bobs of street scenes, close-ups, etc., and careful observers (specifically those old enough to recognize all the 14-years-younger faces!) will catch glimpses of Dave Marr, the late Bill Doss, Deonna Mann, Andrew Rieger, Little Kings Shuffle Club and Manhattan Cafe proprietor Joey Tatum (who, seriously, hasn’t aged a day), various architectural and streetscape scenes that really make you think about how much—and how little—has changed in Athens. Dig it the most, like I did, over at youtube.com/user/chipshirley.

Confess: Fester Hagood has hosted his Tuesday Night Confessional for exactly one year and one week, and he celebrated it with a big hoo-ha of barbecue and hanging out before last week’s edition. Officially billed as “Fester Hagood’s Tuesday Night Confessional Songwriter Showcase,” the weekly Nowhere Bar happening is exactly that. As if to prove his point (and his staying power), Hagood sent me a list of every single artist who has played the event over the last year broken down categorically by week, but I never doubted him once. All in all, he’s hosted over 100 players (not including repeat performances). Upcoming showcases include Hank Barbe, Eric Dodd and Hart Sawyer on Oct. 15.

As its name implies, the group features theremin (by Scott Burland) and lap steel (courtesy of Frank Schultz), and the unlikely pairing produces a harrowing sound that is utterly worth the time spent digging into it.

Visit duetonline.net and dftals.bandcamp.com.

Bits-N-Bobs: Jazz-pop vocalist Marty Winkler will co-headline The World Famous with Kate Morrissey on Friday, Oct. 18. Winkler will be joined by Bryan Shaw on keys and Tony Oscar on percussion… Bones in the Desert, the quite pleasing new album by Scott Baxendale and Jack Logan, is now available via iTunes and on vinyl via record stores. The digital version features two bonus tracks, but who cares, right? That’s hardly a reason to forgo the vinyl. And, of course, it’s with no sense of irony at all that I’ll tell you to stream it via bonesinthedesert.bandcamp.com.

Servant of Two Masters

UGA Fine Arts Building Cellar Theatre · Daily, 8 p.m. & Oct. 13, 2:30 p.m. · $7 (w/ UGA ID), $12 Written by Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni, Servant of Two Masters centers on Truffaldino, a man who in an endless quest to satisfy his insatiable hunger for more food plans a scheme to double his meals by acting as the servant of two different masters. Influenced by Commedia dell’arte, an Italian Renaissance theatre style in which stock characters represent fixed social types—the miserly merchant, the servant, the master, the love interest—the actors wear masks with comedic, exaggerated features. Traditionally, much of the dialogue is improvised, which allows for the actors to better connect to a modern audience. To give the play another contemporary edge, Anthony Marotta, making his UGA directorial debut, has set the stage in the anachronistic, retro-futuristic world of steampunk. [Jessica Smith]

group of artists. Later in the evening, the museum will host its quarterly open house complete with live music, refreshments and gallery talks with curators.

The event offers a chance to see “The Crossroads of Memory: Carroll Cloar and the American South,” which features 70 paintings influenced by American realism, the pointillism of Post-Impressionists and the unsettling themes of Surrealists, as well as “Exuberance of Meaning: The Art Patronage of Catherine the Great” and the aforementioned “Cercle et Carré.” “L’ojet en mouvement: Early Abstract Film” features a selection of abstract films from the 1920s—including Fernand Léger’s Le Ballet mécanique and Man Ray’s Emak-Bakia— that are discussed by essayists in Cercle et Carré’s publications.
