An Update on Harold A visit with Harold Williams (CPA to the Stars) and his wife, Paula, at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta found him in his usual good spirits despite the paralyzing injury he suffered when he tripped in his office a month ago and broke his neck. Harold is undergoing physical and occupational therapy, and, at least for the short run, is learning how to manipulate a powered wheel chair in order to be able to get around. (He ran it into the door jamb leaving the room, but that’s off the record.)

Harold says of the outpouring of support and concern that he has received: “I feel every thought, every prayer, every good wish. If you don’t think they make a difference, you’re wrong.”

He has high praise for the staff and facilities at Shepherd. “I’ll spend the rest of my life Harold Williams being an ambassador for this place,” he says. “The spirit here is just incredible.”

Harold’s daughter Molly calls Shepherd “an angel magnet.”

As reported earlier, Harold is on a first-name basis and has given nicknames to half the people there. Staff and fellow patients spoke to him as they passed him in the corridor, and he greeted them with a smile and a quip.

Harold says that recently he was sitting outside in his wheelchair when a man rolled up and said, “You don’t know me, but I know you. I used to listen to you playing music at the Chi Phi house.” The man turned out to be James Shepherd, whose injuries in 1975, when there were no facilities in Georgia to treat him, caused him and his parents to found Shepherd Center, now the nation’s largest rehabilitation center of its kind.

Harold’s walls are lined with the cards you’ve sent, so send more. 419 Shepherd Center, 2020 Peachtree Rd. NW, Atlanta, GA 30309-1465.

See Art at Home This Saturday, Oct. 19 brings local artist Chatham Murray’s annual home show, wherein you can stop by her house at 120 Barrow St. from 11 a.m. until dark, rain or shine, and see all her new paintings (see one in The Calendar, p. 25), which are also, of course, for sale. Chatham really goes all out with food and drink, and her home is itself a work of art, with its whimsically eclectic furnishings. Her show is always sort of a floating party and reunion of old friends, so here’s your reminder to include it on your Saturday calendar (chathammurray.com).

capitol impact Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Familiar Names The names Nunn and Carter were familiar ones to Georgia voters a while back, and they are making a comeback today, thanks to a new generation of political offspring.

Michelle Nunn, the daughter of Sam Nunn, is running for the U.S. Senate seat her father held for 24 years. State Sen. Jason Carter (D-Decatur) is pondering the idea of a race for governor, the office occupied by his grandfather, Jimmy, in the early 1970s.

Numbers mean everything in politics, and there were some encouraging numbers for both Nunn and Carter last week.

Nunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign announced she had solicited $1.7 million in contributions in just 10 weeks, an impressive total. By comparison, two of the leading Republican candidates, Rep. Jack Kingston of Savannah and businessman David Perdue, each raised about $800,000 for the period ending Sept.

30. Nunn may not be able to maintain that fundraising momentum, but she is in a position to put away some money while the Republican challengers fire away at each other in a bitterly contested primary.

For Carter, the meaningful numbers were contained in a statewide survey by Public Policy Polling, a North Carolina firm with a good track record of calling state races. PPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest poll showed that in a hypothetical matchup between Gov. Nathan Deal and Carter, Deal held a 44-40 percent advantage. PPP Director Tom Jensen said Dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval numbers have also dropped from 44 percent to 34 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much of this negative trend is due to Dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethics scandal, as nearly half of those polled felt the state ethics commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for an independent investigation of Dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last campaign is a convincing reason not to vote for his re-election,â&#x20AC;? Jensen said.

Carter is looking at those poll numbers, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some more numbers to consider in a few weeks, when the Democratic Governors Association has another poll

conducted in Georgia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about it, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any comment yet,â&#x20AC;? he said during a brief conversation.

Carter could ultimately decide to stay out of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a promising member of the Georgia Senate, is establishing a career in law, and has family obligations with a wife and two young sons.

Even with the ethics questions that have been dogging him, Deal still holds the power of incumbency and will be able to raise huge amounts of money from corporate sources and Republican PACs, a juggernaut that would be difficult for any challenger to overcome.

There are some interesting parallels between Jason Carter and his grandfather. In 1966, Jimmy Carter ran his first campaign for governor as he was finishing up his second term in the Georgia Senate. Jason Carter is wrapping up his second full term as a state senator.

Jimmy Carter was a relatively young politician of 41 when he ran that first race for governor.

Jason Carter will be 39 during next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general election.

Jimmy Carter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win that 1966 race, but he ran an energetic, upbeat campaign that ended in a third-place finish in the Democratic primary. That campaign provided the foundation for Carter to come back and win the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in 1970.

Jason Carter would be the underdog if he decided to run next year, but a credible showing along with the continued growth of Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minority population could position him for a stronger run at statewide office two or four years down the road.

Georgia is still a conservative state, and Republicans will continue to hold firm control of state government after the 2014 elections.

On the other hand, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a couple of competitive races amidst all the blowouts next year. That will at least be entertaining.

Corley Cleared After Commissioner’s Complaint

Lunch, Dinner & Weekend Brunch

Athens-Clarke County Solid Waste Director Jim Corley in his office.

Mondays: Industry Night

I

“

’m tired of it,” Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Doug Lowry said at the end of an October 2011 commission meeting. He had just watched disapprovingly as his colleagues approved a small new fee on trash bills to fund recycling education that he opposed, a fee he had described as a “slush fund” for Solid Waste Director Jim Corley.

Lowry threatened to have Corley’s boss, ACC Manager Alan Reddish, fired. “No more conniving, weaseling around, sending me some kind of tear-stained email,” he said. “In the real world, you’d be gone, brother. Gone. I’m tired of it. So make a note… I’m taking the gloves off tonight. No more.”

Lowry co-chaired a solid waste task force that former Mayor Heidi Davison appointed in 2009 to recommend ways to improve recycling rates. Since then, he has criticized trash and recycling policies that were opposed by the private haulers who operate in his eastside district, like a rewards program for heavy recyclers, the education fee and mandatory recycling bins at businesses and apartments. (As a relic of unification, the government only picks up trash inside the old city limits.)

That’s the backdrop against which two local lawyers— Regina Quick, also a Republican state representative, and David Ellison, who ran unsuccessfully for the county commission in 2012—lodged a complaint alleging criminal wrongdoing by Corley. He was eventually cleared by both ACC and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, with District Attorney Ken Mauldin concluding that Corley “acted at all times in the best interests of his department and with the highest ethical standards.”

It started when two Solid Waste employees approached Lowry with information that Corley had sold scrap metal and put the money into a private bank account in his name, according to Lowry. After discussing it informally with Quick, who has a long record of representing clients against ACC, she said would take the matter to District Attorney Ken Mauldin and Attorney General Sam Olen’s office, Lowry said.

Quick said state law required her to do so. “As an elected official, I had an overarching obligation,” she said.

As for why Lowry didn’t bring the issue directly to Reddish, Lowry said he didn’t trust the manager because Reddish would not hand over budget documents. “The idea that I would go to a guy like that really did not make sense to me,” he said.

“All our records are public,” Reddish responded. “I have no comment on what criteria Commissioner Lowry uses to trust someone.”

Ellison, who shares an office with Quick and has also sued ACC in high-profile cases involving Five Points parking and stormwater runoff fees, filed an open-records request. In May, he sent a package of bank records he obtained to an Athens Banner-Herald reporter. He told the paper in a story published two days later that the account “appears to be an unauthorized, off-the-books slush fund that has been operating for years with no oversight or accountability.”

Mauldin brought in the GBI, a standard procedure in corruption cases because the state agency is not beholden to local governments. After interviewing dozens of county employees and examining records in June, GBI agent Rebecca Harold and ACC investigators separately cleared Corley, although the ACC report said he used poor accounting practices and the money should have gone into the general fund.

For 30 years, Solid Waste has used revenue from employee vending machines for snacks, coffee, office Christmas parties

and retirement gifts. (Occasionally, money has been used for other things, such as paying an on-duty employee’s parking ticket and spaying and neutering feral cats at the landfill.) The former director kept cash in the office, but after it was stolen, Corley opened the checking account.

He ordered employees in February to clear out old grills and auto parts (which were not recyclable) from a department garage and sell them for scrap. The employee activity fund, as it was known, was running low because the vending machines were out of order, so he deposited the $1,172.60 into the account. None of the parts had stamps indicating they came from ACC-owned vehicles; Corley said they were left behind by a pack-rat former mechanic.

Neither of the two employees who tipped off Lowry alleged that Corley used the money for his own benefit. They told investigators they thought the parts might still be usable and shouldn’t have been sold for scrap, although they acknowledged they have no particular mechanical expertise. In defending Corley, several interviewees also noted that he put $500 of his own money into the employee account and bought hams and turkeys for workers out of his own pocket.

ACC policy requires revenue from vending machines in employees-only areas to be spent on employees. Money from scrap metal is a gray area—one former department director had permission from now-retired Deputy Manager Bob Snipes to spend money from scrap metal on employee appreciation, while other department heads said they used to do the same thing but put a stop to the practice.

Harold’s report quoted Reddish and several Solid Waste employees as saying the complaint stemmed from two disgruntled employees and one commissioner’s “vendetta” against Corley. One interviewee fingered Lowry by name.

“That’s a theory. Whether it was Commissioner Lowry or what, I don’t know,” Corley told Flagpole. But “what his hatred of us is about, I don’t know,” he added.

After Mauldin released the results of the GBI investigation Oct. 1, other ACC commissioners expressed relief at Corley’s innocence and chided the ABH for its original article.

Commissioner Kelly Girtz, who co-chaired the Solid Waste Task Force with Lowry, told Flagpole that Corley made an honest mistake that didn’t hurt anyone, and Lowry should put the matter behind him.

“What I don’t want to happen is for these types of investigations to become a sideshow that keeps us from doing productive work,” Girtz said, while urging legitimate whistleblowers to come forward.

Lowry, though, is not letting it go. In an interview last week, he said the “vendetta” is a figment of Harold’s imagination. He criticized the GBI report and said he had photos proving that the parts sold for scrap were new and could have fetched $15,000 at auction, although he would not show them to a reporter. He also accused Reddish of covering up Corley’s crime of felony-theft-by-conversion.

Three investigations and reviews exonerated Corley. “It would seem that this issue has been resolved,” Reddish said.

Now, Reddish’s office is writing a new policy regarding scrap metal, which is fine with Corley. “I’d just as soon change it at this point to get it off the radar altogether,” he said.

Run for Your Life

Jogging Gets Organized, Gets Popular If

it seems like a lot of people are in a hurry lately, you’re probably right.

No, we’re not talking about people driving too fast through your neighborhood, although that’s probably true too. These fast people are going on foot, running in droves down Milledge Avenue or through myriad Eastside subdivisions. They’re running for miles at a time, many with one goal: to finish the annual AthHalf, the Athens half marathon on Oct. 20 (athhalf. com).

But a funny thing has happened since this 13.1-mile race began four years ago. People began making the leap from the “couch-to-5K” programs and started training for this longer run through their hometown. Coupled with a slowly improving economy and people realizing it’s a fairly easy way to get a good workout (no gym membership needed, just a pair of shoes), and you have the makings of a sport that’s grown to the point where it’s supporting its own micro-economy.

David Laggis and Mark Schroeder, who opened Athens Running Company on the same weekend as the first AthHalf in 2010, say they can tell the time of year by looking at their sales receipts. Along with a surge of new customers in January—thanks to New Year’s resolutions—they also see a large uptick in business in late summer and fall, in time for the 13.1-mile race. While they call the AthHalf a “happy coincidence,” it’s clear the race has helped drive more interest in running, and more business to their store.

“We had no idea how it was going to affect our business,” says Laggis. “Whenever we start to fit people to shoes, we ask them how they’re going to use them. In that aspect, we take a tally of how many people are training for the half marathon.”

Originally opened in the Bottleworks, Athens Running Company moved to Five Points earlier this year, with Fleet Feet, another specialty running store, on its heels about a block away on Lumpkin Street. Neither planned on the other when looking for a location—each of the store owners had their own reasons for moving to Five Points—but they see the stores as mutually beneficial. And the end result, with each store hosting several running groups throughout the week, is a hotbed of running activity. This is something veteran runners say was hard to find just a few years ago.

In determining the need for a Fleet Feet franchise, Dustin Shinholser, operating partner of the store, said he found in his

research that Athens residents were driving to John’s Creek, the next closest store, for their shoes. But today, the two recently opened specialty running stores in Five Points join New Balance on Epps Bridge Road—along with the running shoe selections at other sports and shoe stores.

AthFest Educates started the AthHalf to help support its nonprofit music and art education program, and AthFest Director Jared Bailey says the registration numbers support what the store owners are seeing on their balance sheets.

Bailey says the first year drew about 2,000 runners, with more coming from out of town than nearby (Bailey counted runners from contiguous counties as “in-town”). The following year, the registrants were about evenly split between the categories, and last year, roughly 60 percent of the 3,000 runners came from the Athens area.

“Basically, the running community in Athens is growing.”

“We’re getting more local runners, or the number of local runners is growing,” he adds, noting that the race is drawing about the same number of out-of-towners as past years.

“Basically, the running community in Athens is growing.”

Veteran runners in Athens say there has always been a decent number of distance runners in the Athens area. Fleet Feet’s Shinholser, who grew up competing on area high school track teams, says any time you have an educated community who realize the benefits of good health, you’ll have a running community. But because of the solitary nature of the sport, there was no central meeting place.

“The biking community was really organized, but the running community wasn’t at all,” says Julie Thompson, president of the Athens Road Runners and a pastor at First Presbyterian Church. Thompson’s group formed about seven months ago and now has more than 250 members, with about 75 running in the AthHalf this year. “The Athens Track Club was the only running club in town, and you had to kind of dig to find them,” she says.

Thompson notes another key event in the timeline of Athens running enthusiasts that helped unite the community:

the passing of Will Chamberlin. He co-founded Classic City Race Services, known for decades as the official timekeeper of any race worth running. Thompson officiated at his funeral in the spring of 2010, the first year of the AthHalf, and contends that sad event became the catalyst for change in the Athens running community.

“I remember officiating at his funeral, and hundreds and hundreds of runners came. They said, ‘Come in your running clothes,’ which was amazing,” she says. “It overcame me, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, we need a place where people can gather.’”

Nearly a year went by before Thompson met longtime local running coach Al Jeffers, and as he helped her train for the AthHalf, she began to meet more and more people getting into more organized running. That spiraled into a more organized effort to create a running club, and last year Thompson and several others found the national Road Runners organization fit their needs, and they started an Athens chapter.

“We launched the day of the Taste of Athens 10K (in February); I had a table at the finish line, and now we have 268 members, seven months later,” Thompson says.

Today, with the dozens of runners who show up Saturday mornings for the Road Runners and WoW (Workout Warriors) boot camp organized long runs, plus other well-attended runs throughout the week, she says the running scene has change dramatically. “It’s a total running town.”

Shinholser agrees. His store had been open less than a week when he started its own half marathon training program, and even so, 50 people showed up for the program. The WoW boot camp training program, which meets Saturday mornings at the YMCA, attracts nearly 100 runners on any given weekend. Down the road at Hendershot’s Coffee Bar, the Athens Road Runners get together for a run and complimentary coffee afterward, and dozens show up there, too.

“There always has been a pretty strong running community before the half marathon,” Bailey says. “But I do think, as the sport becomes more popular, it’s part of the natural progression. If you have a longer race, more people will need to train… When we decided to do the half marathon, we thought this would have a positive effect on the economy.”

AthHalf Continues to Grow

Thousands Wil Run In the Athens Half Marathon

G

et ready to run your Ath off at AthFest Educates’ fourth annual AthHalf halfmarathon.

On Sunday, Oct. 20, the nonprofit organization, along with the National Bank of Georgia, will be host to a 13.1-mile race in and around downtown, the University of Georgia campus and the Eastside to help raise money for local music and arts education. It’s expected to draw more than 3,000 runners, along with thousands more spectators.

Over the years, AthFest Educates has donated more than $100,000 to local music and arts education, and this is one of the group’s two big fundraisers, says spokeswoman Rachel Allen. The money has gone toward purchasing musical instruments, art supplies and other art-and music-related school programs.

The race starts at 7:30 a.m. on Clayton Street, winds through downtown Athens, then down South Milledge Avenue, back up Riverbend Parkway and College Station Road.

After taking a lap around the inside of Sanford Stadium, runners will cross the finish line next to the Tate Student Center on campus.

Parts of the course will be closed as runners pass through. The Loop’s South Milledge Avenue and College Station Road exits will still be open, but police have suggested taking an alternate route during the race.

This year’s race will feature more live music. “Last year, we had bands every other mile, and this year we wanted to increase the connection,” Allen says.

Musicians will include: DJ Mahogany at Mile One, The Warm Fuzzies at Mile Two, Dodd Ferrelle and Adam Poulin at Mile Three, The Mob Corriellis Trio at Mile Four, Welfare Liners at Mile Five, Adam Klein and the Wild Fires at Mile Six, Dr. Arvin Scott at Mile Seven, Drew Kohl at Mile Eight, Connor Pledger at Mile Nine, Kyshona Armstrong at Mile 10, Station 42 at Mile 11, Timi Conley at Mile 12 and Old Skool Trio at the finish line. Bands for miles eight and 11 were not finalized by press time.

Jarryd Wallace, a Paralympic track and field gold medalist, will be the grand marshall of the race. Wallace set a world-record time last July in the 200 meter dash to win the gold medal at the International Paralympic Committee Track & Field World Championships in Lyon, France.

Last year’s turnout brought 3,000 runners to the event. This year, the cap has increased, and organizers are expecting even more participants.

AthFest Director Jared Bailey describes the half-marathon as “an exciting race course in a world-class city” and calls it a challenging course that is a lot of fun.

The race is certified and sanctioned by USA Track and Field (USATF) and is a part of the Run & See Georgia Grand Prix.

Registration is $80 up to the day of the race. Online registration will be available until Thursday, Oct. 17, and participants will also be able to sign up at the Classic Center on Saturday, Oct. 19 during the AthHalf Health and Fitness Expo.

The expo will include products, free samples and exhibits related to running, walking and health and nutrition in general.

Everyone who finishes the race will receive a “finisher’s medal.” The top 100 finishers will receive a “Top 100” mug. The overall winners will receive a $400 cash prize for first place, $300 for second and $200 for third; and winners in the 40-plus “Masters” category will receive $200 for first, $150 for second and $100 for third. There are 12 age groups, and the top three times in each group will also win a custom-made stamped ceramic platter.

Volunteers are currently being recruited to help with race registration at the Health and Fitness Expo and for the day of the race.

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

• indicates new review k 12 YEARS A SLAVE (R) Will art

house sensation Steve McQueen (the filmmaker behind Hunger and Shame, not the quintessentially cool actor) succeed on a larger scale? Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Solomon Northup, a free black man who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. As glad as I am to see Ejiofor in a starring role, I’m equally jazzed about Quvenzhané Wallis, Michael K. Williams (aka Omar Little), Scoot McNairy, Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt.

ALL IS LOST (PG-13) The trailer for the latest film starring Robert Redford looks a lot better than its Life of Pi-ish description. A man (Redford) struggles to survive at sea after he loses his boat.

Writer-director J.C. Chandor received an Oscar nomination for his Margin Call script, and his second feature could portend bigger, better things to come from the young filmmaker. The real question is whether or not Redford can carry this whole picture on his aged shoulders, Cast Away style.

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. 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.

• CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (PG-13) Paul Greengrass is Hollywood’s most effective director of tense docudramas.

Recounting the real life story of Captain Richard Phillips, who was kidnapped

by Somali pirates and held hostage in a claustrophobic lifeboat for several days, Greengrass crafts his best film since United 93. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Phillips, and he loses his typical Hanks-ness in the dramatized reality realized by Greengrass. The lack of

almost any other recognizable supporting actors helps Hanks slide deeper into a role than he has since Road to Perdition. Barkhad Abdi, who plays lead Somali pirate Muse could be one of those fun Oscar dark horses. The taut effectiveness of Billy Ray’s script certainly should not be undervalued but will be due to the incredible work done by Greengrass, whose greatest films seem like reality unfolding before our eyes.

CARRIE (R) Carrie is obviously a remake, but why couldn’t it simply be another adaptation of Stephen King’s first novel? The cast allays most of the fears about October’s only true widely released horror movie. Chloe Grace Moretz should make a perfect Carrie White, the shy, bullied girl with telekinetic powers, and Julianne Moore should be a terrifying replacement for Piper Laurie. Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce is no Brian De Palma, but I like her behind the camera nonetheless.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 (PG) 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) Jersey boy Jon (writerdirector Joseph 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) See Movie Pick on p. 13.

secret, secure prison in the world.

Fortunately, Arnold Schwarzenegger is also incarcerated, so the duo work up a plan to escape. Director Mikael Hafstrom’s career has not exactly taken off since the well-reviewed but overrated 1408.

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.

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:

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.

GROWN UPS 2 (PG-13) Former Hollywood bigshot Lenny Feder (Sandler) moves his family back to his tiny hometown, but rather than spend time with them, he mostly hangs out with his childhood besties. Grown Ups 2’s biggest accomplishment is how worthless it is. 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

Play that Kishi Bashi song I taught you.

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.

GIRL RISING Academy Award nominated director Richard Robbins has assembled an impressive cast of narrators—Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, Meryl Streep and Kerry Washington—to tell the story of girls like Sokha, a Cambodian orphan and accomplished dancer; Suma, who endured forced servitude in Nepal; and Ruksana, an Indian “pavementdweller.” Each girl is paired with a renowned writer from their native land.

This documentary sounds intriguing.

(Ciné) 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. 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. Taking two mega-stars and placing them in a straight up disaster movie that is heavily reliant on special effects takes

trailers. The trailer promises a fun indie comedy. With Rob Corddry, Eva Longoria, Ken Marino, Demetri Martin, Nick Offerman and Geena Davis. (Ciné) INEQUALITY FOR ALL (PG) Former United States Secretary of Labor Robert Reich travels across the country to raise awareness about the widening economic gap in this country.

Filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth previously directed The Best Thief in the World (starring Mary-Louise Parker) and Haiku Tunnel. The trailer promises information galore, but how loud will the charges of bias ring? (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, and his family is in danger. 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 the scary and some nifty callbacks to the first movie.

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) Machete Kills is a dumb, dumb movie, and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and star Danny Trejo know it. In this mostly superior sequel, ex-Federale Machete (Trejo) is seeking revenge for the death of his beloved Agent Sartana (Jessica Alba) when the U.S. President (Charlie Sheen, billed by his birth name Carlos Estevez) tasks him with stopping a mad Mexican revolutionary (an awesomely frenzied Demian Bechir). But the real big bad is arms maker Luther Voz (Mel Gibson).

Chop off fifteen or twenty minutes, and this action-comedy would be one svelte south of the border Bond parody. Fun is had by the entire cast (Amber Heard!

Michelle Rodriguez! Sofie Vergara with machine gun boobs! Lady Gaga?!

Antonio Banderas! Cuba Gooding Jr! Walton Goggins!) Still, it’s Gibson who proves head and shoulders above his peers, and though his crazy personal life has dropped the Oscar winner to silly cameos, he makes the most of it.

Give in to the inanity of Rodriguez’s most brainlessly entertaining movie; Machete Kills fills the lampoonish void.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G) 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 The EcoFocus Film Festival presents a screening of the new documentary from Academy Award nominated filmmaker Robert Stone. Could nuclear energy, that often feared destructive force, be the answer to our future power problems? This audience favorite from Sundance asks that and more provocative questions about the future of our planet, while exploring the past and future implications of nuclear power. The special screening features a catered reception and a post-film discussion about energy production in Georgia. (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, 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.

PRISONERS (R) 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. Jackman will probably land on the Academy’s shortlist for his turn as survivalist Dover, who won’t give up on his daughter; he also goes further to find her than the law allows. 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.

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) 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. If you skipped August’s Paranoia (and you should have), you could catch up with Runner Runner. But then again, why would you? 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. His levelheaded, unpleasantly disciplined Lauda overcomes the odds to stand out as the film’s champion, no matter who wins on the racetrack. 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.

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.

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.

After the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Logan has shed his Wolverine persona to live a solitary life in the woods. However, the last request of a dying friend whisks the clawed one off to Japan. Director James Mangold and writers Mark Bomback and Scott Frank chose smartly in adapting Frank Miller and Chris Claremont’s seminal 1982 limited series.

good spirits Pumpkin Beers to Match Your Costume It’s October, and we all know what that means: SEC football, the annual disappointing playoff appearance by the Braves, beautiful fall leaves, Halloween and pumpkin beer.

The last two are what’s really important here. Who doesn’t want to wear some ridiculous getup and get toasted on beer made from a spherical squash? This edition of Good Spirits will attempt to match your taste buds to your costume.

If you’re the kind of person who just grabs a sheet and cuts eye holes in it on Halloween, you’ll find your match in Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. Bland and sort of sad (and only 4.7% alcohol by volume), this beer will help you reflect on your lack of creativity.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you’re that Athens hero who spends four months building the perfect costume to wear just one night of the year, then get the most flavorful of all pumpkin beers: Southern Tier’s Pumking (8.6% ABV).

Your costume and your beer will be the Platonic ideals to which your underlings aspire. Alternatively, if your tastes trend toward the dark side, grab Pumking’s evil twin: Southern Tier’s Warlock (8.6% ABV).

Those of you with a fondness for the undead should get New Holland’s Ichabod. The headless horseman is a well-done beer for the zombie apocalypse—the relatively low 5.5% ABV will keep you hunting brains all night.

If you’re more of the swarthy swashbuckler variety, Heavy Seas Great’ER Pumpkin is your ideal match. At 10% ABV, this pirate is serious but also tastes more like bourbon than pumpkin, making it a good choice for those who are wary of pumpkin beers.

Thrift stores are great places to pick up parts of a costume. I’ve finished many costumes with odds and ends from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Similarly, Samuel Adams’ Fat Jack (8.5% ABV) gets the job done for those of us on a budget.

3TRIKING 3ILVER FROM +ELIM

Keeping it local and dressing up as an Athens original?

Or are you combining two costumes into one, like a vampire Robocop? Terrapin’s Pumpkinfest (6% ABV) is a combination Oktoberfest and pumpkin ale, and that kind of experimentation is a sure sign that you’re something special.

Forcing your tiny child to wear a costume he doesn’t understand, and you need a refreshingly adorable brew?

Check out Cisco’s Pumple Drumkin (6% ABV). By far the cutest pumpkin beer out there.

Dressing up your dog? As a bear? With antlers? Of course you are. We all are. Welcome to the party. Anderson Valley’s Fall Hornin’ (6% ABV) has the label for your best friend. A beer with deer antlers, if you will.

Terrible label puns aside, this one is also quite tasty.

Inevitably, many of our fellow residents will choose to go as a sexy nurse/sexy policewoman/ sexy Cthulhu. Given that these sexy revelers might typically prefer mixed drinks for lower calories than beer, why not give Cathead’s Pumpkin Spice Vodka a try? Or, those of you who are dressing up as the Big Lebowski should drink Burnett’s

Pumpkin Vodka for a pumpkin-tinged White Russian. Just not on the rug, man. It really tied the room together.

I know you’re out there—that person going as Walter White of “Breaking Bad.” He’s a badass, you’re a badass, and it just makes sense. Put down the meth for a minute and trade it for Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale (8% ABV). It’ll keep you company when you’re in your underwear and your RV breaks down in the desert.

For the less focused and inspired who jumble together an odd assortment of costumes, try New Belgium’s Pumpkick (6%).

This is a weird one—the addition of cranberries during the brewing process kicks the flavor in a not-unpleasant direction.

Unlike the unfocused improviser, people going as witty cultural references plan ahead.

There were the Chilean miners from a few years ago, Binders Full of Women, and this year Paula Deen. The Paula Deens would probably prefer a deepfried butter beer, but I’m going to suggest Uinta’s Punk’n (4% ABV). It’s certified organic, and nothing says organic like Paula Deen. Also, the name kind of sounds like You Ain’t A Pun. Feeling lazy? Just want to go to Halloween City and buy a pre-made costume? I’m not here to judge you, and neither is Blue Point Pumpkin Ale (6% ABV). It’s got all the parts of the pumpkin beer, just like your premade costume has all the parts of a real costume, but it just feels lazy.

Speaking of lazy, I think it’s time to end this column.

Nina Barnes

r e v e r Fo s e g n Cha K

evin Barnes is a quiet man. After a show, he likes to withdraw into a corner of the room, while his more boisterous bandmates assume the center of attention. He is tall and thin and muscled just enough to suggest that he has a gym membership somewhere in Athens. For the past few years, he’s been wearing an asymmetrical haircut and looks scarcely aged since those first of Montreal records, which were released on Kindercore and Bar/None records over 17 years ago.

In conversation, Barnes is soft-spoken and so Midwesternnice (he’s from Ohio) that you imagine if he got mad he might punch you in the face with a hug. But to see Kevin Barnes offstage is to momentarily forget his larger-than-life spectacle onstage as of Montreal.

After all, this is the man who developed the persona of Georgie Fruit, a black, cross-dressing funk frontman who twice had a sex change, transforming from man to woman and back to man again. Barnes is infamous for smashing his guitar at the end of live shows (luckily, he has a Gibson sponsorship) and once performed entirely naked at Art Bar in Las Vegas. In 2010, he had players dress as prepubescent boys and Catholic priests before erecting a giant crucifix and “killing himself” onstage.

Barnes has also performed in tiny, gold lamé short-shorts while riding a white horse, pantomimed an orgy, pretended to hang himself and, as a finale, emerged from a coffin covered in white shaving cream—and that’s all in one show.

But of Montreal’s latest album is a sea change, closer to Barnes’ introverted post-show personality than to the flamboyant skylarking that happens on stage. Scaling back most of the excesses that occasionally made False Priest and Paralytic Stalks sound like workouts, Lousy with Sylvianbriar is a stripped-down, back-to-basics affair, calling to mind of Montreal’s earliest work recorded on 8-track tape.

Best of all, it works. And yet, perhaps most significantly, the record found Barnes dissolving his former band, at least for now, in favor of a new cast.

16

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 16, 2013

“When I first started recording it, I was thinking that it wouldn’t be called of Montreal—it would be a new band,” he says. “We were thinking about different band names, and what we would call it, and we never came up with one that felt natural. But I’ve taken all these turns throughout my career and done so many different things—I’ve basically had to redefine what of Montreal is so many times, I might as well go ahead and call it of Montreal.”

For the record, Barnes decamped to San Francisco to write for a few weeks, returning to Athens to record.

“I wanted to go somewhere outside of Athens where I could be out of my comfort zone and focus on writing for a period of time, reading and just living and [being] inside of my head for weeks,” he says. “It was kind of a risk to go out there and spend the money and get the apartment and book the flights and all that stuff. If I would have [gone] out there and had writer’s block, it would have been a horrible experience, but luckily, I felt very inspired.”

While Barnes typically builds his songs one instrument at a time, writing and recording everything himself, he completely altered his process for Sylvianbriar. Instead of using a computer, he taped everything live, limiting himself to a 24-track recorder. Instead of working alone, he wrote lyrics and chord progressions—basically well-hewn sketches—and presented them to his band to flesh out (normally, he uses his mates for touring purposes only). And although he opened up his recording process to include others, he simultaneously curbed outside collaborations with friends like Janelle Monáe, Solange and Kishi Bashi, all of whom have made significant contributions to of Montreal’s recent records.

The result is an album that sounds warmer, fresher and more organic than the band has sounded in years—at least since the one-two knockout punch of mock epics Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? and Skeletal Lamping. The record is unmistakably of Montreal, with its twisty arrangements and clever melodies, but it is also unique in the band’s canon. It’s looser, smaller and less strained (most of Montreal albums take months to a

year to record; this one took just over a month).

Musically, Sylvianbriar’s closest precedents are The Incredible String Band, Neil Young or The Burrito Brothers.

Half flower-power histrionics and half-Americana. If you ever wondered what Barnes would sound like reciting his patented purple pyscho-babble in a Bob Dylan-esque cadence, your answer lies in the song “Amphibian Days.”

“I wanted to make a record in the way that bands used to make records in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and have it be a group of people in a room together tracking things live and basically capturing a moment in time,” Barnes says. “I just wanted [it] to feel very spontaneous and exciting and raw.”

With the pared-back sound, personnel changes and tweaked recording method, it’s tempting to say that Lousy with Sylvianbriar marks a new phase for of Montreal. And there are other end-of-era signifiers, too. Last year saw the release of the odds-and-sods B-sides collection Daughter of Gods, and a career-spanning documentary from local director Jason Miller is soon to come.

It all points to a purging of the old to make room for the new. But Barnes is reluctant to accept such an overly neat narrative.

“As far as revamping things and changing things around, I think that’s just healthy,” Barnes says. “I just want to stay inspired and excited for whatever organic spirit presents itself to me and chase it until I’m bored with it. And then I try to find something new.”

They MigPlays ht Be Giants On

ixteen albums and nearly 30 years into their colorful musical career as They Might Be Giants, John Flansburgh and John Linnell are continually amazed by the support and interest of fans, new and old.

“The surprise for us this year was that we could sell tickets and expand the tour,” Linnell says. “We were surprised at how spectacularly successful shows [have been], especially considering how there’s been a real drop in concert sales over the last decade or so. It’s much harder to promote and play a tour now than in the old days, but it did seem like if we booked it, they would come. And we don’t take that for granted.”

The Massachusetts-born, New York Citybased band formed in the mid-1980s, naming itself after a classic George C. Scott flick.

TMBG recorded a low-budget, high-humored, self-titled debut in 1986, scoring college radio hits with the quirky tunes “Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head” and “Don’t Let’s Start.” Critics took note of the group’s eccentric pop style, which featured oddball instrumentation (accordion, woodwinds, cheap keyboards, drum machines) and superior melodic sensibilities.

TMBG’s 1988 album, Lincoln, pushed TMBG into high-profile alternative rock territory with energetic songs like “Ana Ng” and the herky-jerky “They’ll Need a Crane.” Flood followed in ‘89 with two chart-topping hits, “Birdhouse in Your Soul” and “Istanbul (Not Constantinople),” the latter of which was an elegantly hectic rendition of the 1950s swing tune.

Through the 1990s and 2000s, Linnell and Flansburgh have experimented with various themes, formats and lineups, from the esoteric Apollo 18 album (featuring the multiple track suite “Fingertips”) to cartoons (“Tiny Toon Adventures”) and film soundtracks (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).

The band’s core zaniness and musical drive rarely got off track along the way and is demonstrated in spades on TMBG’s most recent works, 2011’s Join Us and its latest, a 25-song collection released this spring called Nanobots.

“We’ve never had a plan to radically remake ourselves, so in a sense, we’ve been refining this thing for three decades now,” Linnell says. “We’re not one of those bands who comes up with a new look for ourselves. We

haven’t switched over to a dance music thing.

I like bands who can come out and say, ‘Now we’ll only be doing Broadway show tunes,’ or whatever, but that’s not us.

“It’s not like we broke up and reformed,” he adds. “There’s always a new album’s worth of material when we go on tour, and there’s always new visual stuff, but… nothing has fundamentally changed. Every year, we think we’re doing our best show [ever]. We’re trying to be as fun as we always have been.”

Linnell and Flansburgh will hit Athens this week with the backing band they’ve had for years: Dan Miller on guitar, Danny Weinkauf on bass and Marty Beller on drums. TMBG will present a multimedia show featuring plenty of selections from Nanobots, as well as fan favorites sprinkled throughout. They’ll likely have a few oversized bass drums and paranoid sock puppets on hand, too.

“We feel very comfortable with these guys,” Linnell says of his longtime musical crew.

“We personally like each other, which helps, because we have to live with each other on a bus. We have very intense conversations with each other about things totally unrelated to the band or the stage show.”

The band will stay busy for the rest of 2013, traveling in the UK and Europe, but then plans to take most of 2014 off from the road to brainstorm on new artistic concepts and compositions. Still, Linnell says the touring lifestyle is what he enjoys the most.

“We do still enjoy this,” he says. “We’re old guys, and touring can be really hard for us, physically and mentally, but I won’t take it for granted. There’s something terrific about it.

We know plenty of musicians who aspire to do this thing we’re doing… Even if people didn’t show up, we’d probably still write and play just for the fun of it. It almost seems miraculous that we get to do this and make a living at it. It seems like an amazing gift.”

Cooks Up Something Good

S

honna Tucker is not entirely sure where she is, geographically speaking. “We’re somewhere in Illinois,” she offers. “I have no idea, actually.”

Tucker, the former Drive-By Truckers bassist and songwriter, is on the downslope of the first-ever tour with her new band Eye Candy, a group that features names you’ll probably recognize if you’ve dipped even just a big toe into the Athens music scene: John Neff, Clay Leverett, Neil Golden and Bo Bedingfield.

They are extremely capable and sought-after musicians who have been friends for years.

Together with Tucker, they form a rare sort of supergroup wherein style takes a back seat to substance.

Tucker knows exactly where she is, creatively speaking. For proof, take a listen to A Tell All, the brand new album from Shonna Tucker and Eye Candy. At 10 tracks, the record—produced by local engineer and Harvey Milk drummer Kyle Spence—is a journey through Tucker’s Muscle Shoals roots. The LP melds country, soul and rock and roll in such a seamless way that the current crop of Americana bands should want to hide their faces in shame.

But Tucker’s not out to shame anyone.

She’s simply doing what comes natural, and utilizing the talent surrounding her smartly, and in a way that is refreshing—for her as much as everyone else.

“I feel like I was able to spend more time than usual writing, so I feel like I made some headway there,” she says. “And the guys, of course, they’re all great musicians. And going in with Kyle to record was a fun experience…

We’re all really excited to do this. It feels fresh and new, and I think that’s something I had definitely lost with the Truckers. I never took anything for granted, but it was the same thing for a long time.”

A Tell All marks the first time Tucker has seemed truly comfortable in her role as band leader, although she took center stage with the Truckers on more than one occasion. In fact, she is responsible for some of the most underrated tunes in DBT’s expansive catalog, like the slow, smoldering “I’m Sorry Huston,” from 2008’s Brighter Than Creation’s Dark, the first DBT record on which Tucker’s songwriting figured prominently.

In retrospect, though, Tucker’s songwriting didn’t quite fit the Truckers’ raucous rock mold.

It was too vulnerable, too tender—too soulful.

“I cut my teeth on soul music, growing up in Muscle Shoals. I’d like to think some of that maybe rubbed off on me,” Tucker laughs.

That deep-South soul appears on A Tell All in spades. The album is largely unadorned yet lyrically complex. Closer “You Went All the

Way” is a warm, pedal steel-laced love ballad that highlights Tucker’s tremendous pipes.

“Your Jealousy,” the album’s catchiest, most radio-ready song, is a sharp, country-flavored mid-tempo jammer whose outlook is less optimistic.

Like Southeastern, the new album from Tucker’s ex-husband and former Truckers bandmate Jason Isbell, A Tell All comes across as a series of loosely connected snapshots that relate in varying degrees to the songwriter’s personal life. But Tucker’s album is stiller, less tortured. Its steadiness owes less to intense soul-searching and more to the outside world.

“We live out in Winterville, and we kind of have a little mini-farm,” she says. “You kind of get to a different mindset when you can just sit there and be around donkeys and chickens.

You do a lot of thinking, and you can’t help but take in the calm.”

Much of the record’s charm comes from Tucker’s insistence on giving equal lyrical weight to the existential and the everyday. “I have a hard time writing about big, important things,” she says with a laugh. “I like to make simple things appear more complex than they are.” Hence songs like “Family Dinner,” which celebrates that titular ritual and all of its unspoken intricacies.

Food, more than you might expect, is integral to A Tell All. Anyone who has spent time around Tucker (or who follows her on Twitter) knows that she is a culinary enthusiast. To wit, pre-orders of the record are being shipped with copies of A Family Dinner, a PDF recipe book penned by Tucker and featuring cartoonish illustrations by local artist and musician Jack Logan.

“I’m passionate about food, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do, to cook more and write about cooking more,” explains Tucker. “My friends tell me they like my food, so I started writing it all down. And before long, I had a ton of stuff.”

It makes a strange sort of sense; the simple satisfaction of a well-cooked dinner is not dissimilar to the pleasure of a finely crafted record. Both are capable of locating you in some cosmic and yet corporeal way, of letting you know exactly where you are.

Heavy Is As Heavy Does: Guitarist and vocalist Matt “Pistol” Stoessel has a new outfit named Buffalo Hawk with bassist Brantley Senn (Dead Confederate), drummer Jim Wilson (GOAT, Moths) and keyboardist Paul McHugh (Pilgrim). The group played its live debut this past August, and its next gig is slated for Thursday, Oct. 17 at the Caledonia Lounge. I’ve been streaming a recording of their debut show courtesy of Southern Shelter, and while I totally missed it when it happened, I can imagine one could get a totally clean shave from the air surrounding these ultrasharp and super-heavy tunes. Think Neil Young if he had grown up as a fan of everything that came after him. Hot stuff, indeed.

This performance of the Kamilah Forbes-written play is directed by Scotty Gannon. The title is a Matt Stoessel nice modernization of Langston Hughes, and the show features DJs, b-boys, rappers and more in a storyline that includes a Cain and Abel-esque plot element and asks whether hip hop is all about flash, or if there is a deeper meaning that should be pursued. Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for the general public. Showtimes are 7 p.m. (Oct. 18 and 19) and 2:30 pm (Oct. 20).

For more information, see facebook.com/ UGABlackTheatricalEnsemble or follow the ensemble on Twitter via @ugabte.

Can’t Lick ‘Em: It’s been a very busy year for the boys in Dead Confederate. In addition to singer and guitarist T. Hardy Morris releasing his debut solo album to much acclaim and the aforementioned Buffalo Hawk gaining steam, the band released its newest album, In the Marrow, in April. The darkly engaging album is among Dead Confederate’s strongest work to date, and is easily the one I’d go to first when introducing someone to the group, which will hit the road this November. The tour kicks off with a hotly anticipated Halloween-night party spearheaded by Model Citizen Salon at Stan Mullins’ warehouse on Pulaski Street.

The event, titled “Heads Will Roll,” is a benefit for Community Connection. Tickets are $10 in advance at Model Citizen and $15 at the door. The show also features The Powder Room and a whole bunch of local art. Dead Confederate will then head on to Kansas and Colorado, play a whole pile of shows in Texas and end up in Louisiana. Keep up with everything via deadconfederate.com.

Wind, Wings, Etc.: There’s a new thing happening for all you parents who have no idea what to do with your kids on a weekend morning. It’s called the Saturday Morning Club, and it’s hosted by UGA’s Performing Arts Center. Designed for children between 4 and 12, the program gives attendees a peek inside the sometimes-mysterious world of music creation. There are live performances, refreshments and, in a hilariously touching bit of genius, an interactive Instrument Petting Zoo. The first occurrence of the SMC happens Saturday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m., when the featured performers will be the UGA Wind Symphony. Subsequent events happen Mar. 22, 2014 (with the UGA Percussion Ensemble) and Apr. 26, 2014 (with the UGA Hodgson Singers and Friends). All events happen at Hodgson Hall at the PAC complex.

Just In Time For Winter: Filmmaker Joe Chang presented the Athens premiere of his film Present last week at Flicker Theatre & Bar. The 83-minute feature stars Elephant 6 musician Nesey Gallons as a house-show-playing performance artist who takes a few days off in Asheville, NC and, through a series of events, is inspired to take a nostalgic road trip to Mount Airy, NC with his sister and her friend.

Those are the ice-cold facts, but the film itself is much warmer than I have room to describe, and quite good-looking, to boot. Hat tip goes to Gallons for wearing an Orange Twin hoodie in various scenes. The film is for sale on DVD for $15; you can order it, peep the trailer and get more information over at ithappenedone halloween.com.

Tickets are $6 for kids, $10 for adults (or $14/$24 for all three) and can be obtained by calling the box office at 706-542-4400 or looking online at pac.uga.edu.

Swedish avant-garde artist Viking Eggeling’s Symphonie diagonale uses paper cutouts, tinfoil figures and frame-by-frame photography, serving as one of the earliest works of animation. Fernand Léger’s Le Ballet méchanique is a Dadaist film that flashes chaotically through over 300 mechanical and repetitive images, emphasizing the world in motion. Man Ray’s Emak-Bakia demonstrates several of the artist’s techniques such as Rayographs, soft focus, stop motion and double exposure.

Baring it All: “Misfits,” a sculptural installation by Christina West, assistant professor of art at Georgia State University, combines bright pink, smaller-than life sculptures in the center of a large box lined with twodimensional painted figures in various degrees of nakedness. The immersive installation allows viewers to place their faces against holes from the outside, placing them onto the body of a painted figure, or they can enter the box to be fully surrounded.

Many artworks present idealized versions of the human form, commonly youthful and attractive figures with fit frames, yet West’s figures reflect a wider range of ages and body types, offering a more realistic depiction of physical diversity and the current average.

With no clear narrative, scenes like a man pulling his shirt over his head and a woman undressing as a man crouches nearby create a high level of vulnerability and frankness between the figures and viewers.

“Misfits” will be on display in Gallery 307 of the Lamar Dodd School of Art through Friday, Oct. 18.

Latin American Film Festival

UGA Tate Student Center Theater · 6 p.m. · FREE! To cap off Hispanic Heritage Month, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute at UGA will present its annual Latin American Film Festival, this year highlighting films centered on traditional dance performance. The series kicks off with Danzón, the story of a woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery after her dance partner of six years mysteriously disappears. In Bar, El Chino, screening on Monday, Oct. 21, a young editor of a television network sets out to make a documentary on a legendary Argentine bar and tango destination. The festival concludes with Noel, Poeta de Vila, a biopic on the short yet accomplished career of Brazilian songwriter Noel Rosa, on Monday. Oct. 28. All films begin at 6 p.m. and include English subtitles and a postscreening discussion. Bar, El Chino will be followed by a tango party, and Noel, Poeta da Vila will be followed by samba dancing.

Toro Y Moi, Classixx

40 Watt Club · 8 p.m. · $20 A quick history lesson: Chaz Bundick, aka Toro Y Moi, crashed onto the scene in 2009 with Causers of This, a record full of the woozy ‘80s vibes that would be termed “chillwave.” Bundick is the sort of elusive artist who’s completely terrified of making the same album twice, and in the time since, his output has been prolific and varied. There was a simmering sophomore LP, Underneath the Pine, which experimented with twisty Toro Y prog and krautrock, and a side project called Les Sins, which flirted with body-conscious deep house. Bundick’s latest outing, Anything in Return, recasts the South Carolina native as a svelte midnight-storm Lothario, packed with future-sex sounds that synthesize ‘90s R&B in lockstep with ‘70s funk a la Prince and Cameo.

Four Seasons II: Autumnatic

Max · 10 p.m. · $3 (21+), $5 (18–20) Akeeme Martin, the force behind WUOG’s long-running “Halftime Hip Hop Show” and one of the most ardent supporters of local hip hop, presents the autumnal installment of his quarterly concert series on Thursday. This time, the action takes place at the erstwhile Max Canada (or Engine Room, depending who you ask) and boasts an impressive lineup of local and regional upstart talent. That lineup includes local MC L.G., Jefferson rapper Chrismis and local party-punk/ hip hop band The Swank, as well as two don’t-miss Atlanta artists in Goldyard and Suni MF Solomon. The former is a decidedly warped electro-rap duo with an insane and

Flash to Bang Time, Brothers, Revien

Flicker Theatre & Bar · 9 p.m.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more stylistically diverse show this week than the one happening Friday at Flicker. Local legend Lynda Stipe, of Oh-OK fame, fronts the on-again/off-again local group Flash to Bang Time, a band that sorta, kinda shadows Stipe’s post-pop past but also flirts lustily with expansive Eastern psychedelia and straight-ahead highway-rock. Upstart intelli-pop crew Brothers, led by inscrutable songwriter Ryan Gray Moore, will perform, as will Revien, a local instrumental trio that has somehow managed to fly largely under the radar for its couple years of existence. The band, which features members of the Georgia Guitar Quartet, Maps and Transit and The Odd Trio, explores everything from classical to jazz to popular music but pulls it all together with a playful virtuosity.

Last week: Genevieve’s band, Midnight Jesus, struggles with identity issues and an unreliable guitarist.

T

Chapter 11.

Rock and Roll Heaven

Kelly Hart

hings did not seem to bode well for the Caledonia show, when Midnight Jesus was scheduled to play secondto-last—their most prominent billing yet—and they’d be debuting a set of completely new and substantially revised songs that suddenly seemed half-baked and ill-chosen. The days leading up to it were terrible—Tim was having daily panic attacks and obsessing about his “stage moves,” introducing increasingly spastic new ones at every practice; Chad Dickel was AWOL for the entire Thursday before the Saturday show, and their hearts were in their throats for the 36 hours before he finally texted them and asked when they were practicing; Jesse sprained his ankle stepping in a pothole on the way home from work and had to play his bass sitting in a chair.

At least once in every practice that week they ended up in a shouting match.

Genevieve’s parents’ friends kept telling her how much they had wanted to see her play and how sweet she’d been as a teenager in her marching band costume (“the drum was bigger than you!”).

“It’s a rock and roll show,” her dad would tell them, wiggling his eyebrows. “No geezers allowed, she says.”

Then, whatever family friend was sitting in the kitchen drinking herbal tea and eating cookies would straighten his or her Hawaiian shirt indignantly and reveal that he or she had been a regular at CBGB in the ‘70s or had followed the Grateful Dead for five years after college. Susan’s research assistant Sunita and her husband had seen Metallica, Megadeth and Iron Maiden at the Rock ’N India festival when they were getting their master’s degrees.

“We’re not that good yet,” Genevieve told them, trying to hide her agitation. “Maybe you can see us someday.” She could see them wondering how such nice people had ended up with such a mean daughter, and she felt persecuted.

“What you’re playing in your room sounds good,” her dad said. “Much more precise. She’s been practicing with a metronome,” he’d explain. It was mortifying.

But on Saturday, the stars began to align. Jesse had convinced Chad to stay with him at his brother’s house on Friday night, and Chad decided of his own volition that he wouldn’t drink at all until he had a couple of beers before the show to loosen up. Tim had settled on a combination of hopping and head-shaking that felt comfortable and wasn’t completely objectionable. Genevieve had taken her things to Caspian’s house on Friday, where she was pet-sitting while Waning Gibbous played in North Carolina and Virginia, and the break from her family had calmed her nerves somewhat. Caspian apologized profusely for missing her show, but she was glad he wouldn’t be there, since she didn’t want to have to see her band through his eyes. If anything was amateurish, he’d know better than anyone, and she didn’t want to second-guess whether he was just being nice if he complimented them.

Anyway, he wasn’t that into hardcore.

A decent-sized crowd had formed at Caledonia by the time Bezzy started at 10:30, and they seemed ready to rock.

Genevieve, Tim and Jesse huddled together in the back of the room, drinking High Lifes and nervously shouting in each other’s ears about logistics as Bezzy crashed its way through its first songs, which were admittedly rough, definitely way less formed than anything Midnight Jesus was planning on. Chad was up in front of the stage, throwing his hulking body around and shaking his head to the music. Genevieve saw him pull a

flask from his pocket and pour its contents down his throat.

While they played, Genevieve ran to the bathroom to pee about five times and to check that her eyeliner wasn’t running down her face Alice Cooper-style and to reassure herself that the leather bustier she’d worn as an ironic metal-chick nod was awesome and not stupid. The club was tropically hot and so, so loud. She was pretty sure her deodorant wasn’t working.

Friends kept grabbing her to say hi and good luck. She’d taken an Adderall before they’d unloaded their equipment, but she still felt loopy and distracted. She saw Tim rush to the bathroom and was certain it was to throw up, which he’d done most of the times they’d played out.

During The Forward Path’s set, right before theirs, she saw Casey come in with her friend Jackson, looking very Athens with an unshaven face and in a vintage plaid shirt she’d never seen him wear. Actually, he looked good, even though she was annoyed with him. He hadn’t spoken to her since the night she and Caspian had left him at her friend’s party in Boulevard.

She’d texted him a couple of times but he hadn’t returned her messages. She knew he saw her, but he pretended not to, and she felt a flare of anger. She hated that kind of college-boy crap.

After all the worry and sleepless nights and fighting, Midnight Jesus nailed everything from the start. Genevieve had convinced them all to practice to a metronome, and all their parts synced perfectly. And the energy was amazing. Chad was going wild, lunging around like a rock god as he soloed.

Tim’s hopping thing actually ended up complementing Chad’s theatrics; if he appeared in some moments to be having a grand mal seizure, it at least came off as intentional. For Jesse to be standing up at all on his ankle was a major sacrifice, but even he still managed to groove a little. Genevieve could feel sweat flying off her body as she pounded on her kit and felt the music vibrating through her body.

And the audience was getting into it. Chad’s friends were slam-dancing near the front, and all the guys behind them were at least nodding their heads enthusiastically.

The room was full. Their first songs flew through them effortlessly.

Casey was standing right in her sight line, in the back of the room near the door, just leaning against the wall with his arms folded. His dark hair was falling in his eyes and she couldn’t read his expression in the moment she focused on him before turning back to the music. She knew he was Midwestern and never danced, but somehow he still radiated a malignant energy that chilled her joy a degree. Jackson was dancing like a crazy man near the front and pumping his fist and cheering.

He was the best friend to bring to any show, and the sight of his beaming face revived her.

Genevieve was glad she’d worn the leather top after all. The feeling of so many eyes on her was amazing. She’d played a lot of shows already, including at Caledonia, but this one was by far the best. She’d never been so good before and had never cared so much about the individual songs. By the time they got to “Sex with Trees,” their final, eight-minutes-long song, they knew they’d won everyone over.

“Thank you so much,” Chad rasped into the microphone when they finished. His shirt was soaked through and his hair was drenched. His meaty hands flopped at his sides. He was grinning ear to ear. “We’re Midnight Jesus. Antigravity’s Rainbow is up next.” He bowed a little as the crowd clapped and cheered and the rest of them made their way offstage.

“You guys were amazing!” Jackson shouted, clapping Genevieve on the back. “You rocked my socks off.”

Casey had disappeared.
