Vote for the non-incumbent: energy activist and Democrat Stephen Oppenheimer.

State Senate District 47 “One honest voice can be louder than a crowd.” [Dr. Tim Riley] But if there’s no crowd to hear it, does it make a sound? Tim Riley is at it again, running as a Democrat against an unbeatable Republican. A voice in the wilderness, but what the hell: vote Tim Riley. State Representative District 118 So, Spencer Frye is the Democrat who bumped off Keith Heard, and Carter Kessler is the Republican of the Ron Paul persuasion, who says Athens deserves better. Frye will be in the shrinking minority in the House, if elected, and Carter will be in the growing majority, but will rub them all the wrong way. I say vote for Democrat Spencer Frye. Oconee River Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor Why is this on the general election ballot? Only the names of officially qualified write-in candidates will be counted, and there’s only one qualified candidate. So, Ray Charles Rozier is a shoo-in. Amendment 1. Charter schools If you’ve been paying attention, you know that this amendment would allow the state to circumvent local school boards and create charter schools that would siphon state support away from local public schools and into the pockets of privately owned charter school chains. This amendment deserves a great, big NO vote. Amendment 2. Long-term state rents The idea is that the state can save money by changing the present requirement that longterm lease payments be budgeted up front. But some cynics think that if those payments are spread out over time, they can be more easily hidden, allowing shenanigans to ensue. My confidence in our legislature is at a low ebb, so I recommend a NO vote on this one, too. Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com

letters BARS AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT The Cottage would like to commend Blake Aued and Flagpole for bringing awareness to the issue of drug facilitated sexual assault in Athens. The Cottage has been made aware of a few cases where rape survivors suspect they were drugged by a bartender; however, we know firsthand that the large majority of bar owners and bar employees are tremendously dedicated to the safety of their patrons and community. We know this in part because so many have supported our “Consent Is Sexy (and Required)� campaign by joining our Athens Bars Against Sexual Assault. The Athens Bars Against Sexual Assault joins together downtown bars and The Cottage in an effort to spread awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault in Athens and create a dialogue about what consent to sex really entails. Consent cannot be legally made in a state of intoxication; it must be clear and consensual. It takes a community to stop rape and sexual assault, and The Cottage is glad to have allies in these efforts, including the 40 Watt Club, Georgia Theatre, Flicker, Ted’s Most Best, Cutter’s Pub, Silver Dollar Bar, Allgood Lounge, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, Manor and Magnolias. If you or someone you know has been assaulted and needs help, call The Cottage’s 24-hour hotline: 1-877-363-1912. Sally K. Sheppard Executive Director, The Cottage Sexual Assault Center & Children’s Advocacy Center

UGA SPORTS DECOR

Athens News and Views Inside Baseball: Senate President Pro Tem Tommie Williams, R-Lyons, is stepping down from his leadership post, and sometime between the November election and the start of the legislative session in early January, 30-something Republican state senators will gather to determine his replacement. Our very own Sen. Bill Cowsert, R-Athens, might emerge as the top dog. Cowsert and three others—David Shafer of Duluth, Ross Tolleson of Perry and Ronnie Chance of Tyrone—are running, and depending on who wins, could be the leader of the upper chamber. In 2010, a group of eight senators, including Cowsert and Williams, stripped Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle of the power to appoint senators to committees, a heavy hammer he could swing whenever anyone got out of line. Cagle has been trying to get it back ever since, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that Shafer has his support, as well as Gov. Nathan Deal’s.

The state Senate’s new overlord? “I don’t think that’s accurate,� Cowsert says. “As far as I know, neither Gov. Deal nor Lt. Gov. Cagle has involved themselves in caucus elections.� Cowsert currently serves as the GOP caucus chairman, the Senate’s No. 3 post. Sen. Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock, is likely to remain majority leader, the No. 2 post, in spite of politically toxic revelations that he once promoted sports betting, his vocal opposition to T-SPLOST and his recent Agenda 21 conspiracy mongering. (The United Nations will force you to ride bikes and live in apartments! MUWAHAHAHA!) Athens’ other senator, Frank Ginn, R-Danielsville, is in a difficult spot. He falls into Cagle’s camp on the leadership issue but works closely with Cowsert. He says he hasn’t decided whom he’ll back. “David is probably one of the smartest guys in the Senate, but Bill has done an exceptional job,� Ginn says. Cowsert’s elevation would be good for Athens for several reasons: He is a conservative but very reasonable guy. He listens to the other side. He doesn’t always march in lockstep with his party’s ideology (for example, he opposes corporate tax loopholes). And, since two of Athens’ three House members next year will be freshmen—a libertarian or a powerless

Democrat and a Republican who is already ticking off the leadership—this city will need all the clout it can get. Recycling Round Three: The Athens-Clarke Commission will take a third crack next month at requiring local businesses and apartment complexes to provide recycling for customers and tenants. Commissioners already punted twice, most recently holding it for 60 days in June after property managers and private haulers expressed concerns, leading me to question whether commissioners would lose their nerve, even though the policy is the most effective thing they could do right now to increase recycling. Mayor Nancy Denson was among those who had qualms, appointing an ad hoc committee to study the issue further. Lo and behold, it wasn’t on the Oct. 2 agenda, but Denson says the law, with a few tweaks to the language, will be back up for a vote next month. “There’s nothing that changes the intent or what it’s going to do,� she says. “It’s minor changes to make everybody more comfortable with it.� Robinson Unleashed: Ed Robinson is nearing the end of his term on the commission, and, if last week’s voting meeting was any indication, it could be an entertaining few months. During discussion of a rezoning at Terrapin Brewery on Newton Bridge Road, which would allow it to build a gravel parking lot for concerts and other special events, the eccentric District 6 representative launched into a rant about how zoning laws force industries to jump through hoops, prompting Commissioner Andy Herod, tongue firmly in cheek, to thank him for the lecture. For the record, the rezoning was approved. Later, riffing on the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur’s themes of repentance and atonement, Robinson asked for forgiveness. “I want to apologize to all my constituents and everyone else looking to me for representation for all the things I was not able to accomplish,� he said. Although a nice guy and extremely intelligent, Robinson would be the first to admit that he was overmatched as an elected official. He said he’ll leave his successor, Jerry NeSmith, a laundry list of things left undone. Let’s hope NeSmith is up to the task. Walmart Watch: The Atlanta City Council rejected a $90 million plan last week for a Walmart-anchored mixed-used development in Buckhead that’s very similar to what Selig Enterprises has proposed in Athens. Still no word on what Selig is up to locally. In Case You Missed It: Rep. Paul Broun recently called evolution and the Big Bang “lies straight from the pit of Hell.� We’ve got the video at Flagpole.com Charter Schools: I promised you a story on the charter schools amendment this week, but you got one on Weaver D’s instead. Enjoy. Look for charter schools coverage online at Flagpole.com and an in-depth report in next week’s print edition. Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

capitol impact Charter Schools Up for Grabs The campaign on the charter school constitutional amendment seems destined to end up in a courtroom rather than a classroom. Over the past couple of weeks, I haven’t heard many constructive discussions of this important issue. The talk instead has been dominated by threats of lawsuits and litigation, and even prosecutions over the campaign tactics being used by the two sides. Standing in the middle of all these legal threats has been the state’s top law enforcement official, Attorney General Sam Olens. Olens recently advised state school Supt. John Barge, who opposes the amendment, to remove information from the state department of education website that outlined the adverse impact the charter school amendment would have on state funding for public schools. Barge had the information taken down. Olens sent a letter to Barge a few days later ordering local school boards not to spend any public tax funds in their campaigning on the amendment. Olens is now drafting a second letter in which he will advise Barge of the “enforcement actions� the attorney general’s office could take against school boards that campaign against the amendment. If Olens thought his threats of legal action would muzzle the opponents of the charter school amendment, he was mistaken. On the day after Olens sent his letter to Barge, the Richmond County school board held a forum to educate people on the charter school issue and urged voters to reject the proposed amendment. Barge also intends to keep talking about the controversial ballot question. The amendment would establish a state commission with the power to approve charter schools that are turned down by local school boards. This would be a major shift of control over how local tax funds for education are spent: instead of an elected school board making the decision, a state committee of

political appointees would allocate local tax money. The group promoting passage of the amendment, Families for Better Schools, has received most of its donations from outof-state sources and for-profit companies that make their money by operating charter schools. K12 Inc., a company based in Virginia that operates online schools, has donated $100,000 to the charter amendment supporters. Charter Schools USA, a for-profit company based in Florida that contracts with charter school organizers to operate their schools, contributed $50,000 to the charter group. National Heritage Academies, a Michiganbased company that operates 74 charter schools in nine states, contributed $25,000 to the charter amendment group; the company’s founder, J. C. Huizenga, contributed another $25,000. It’s easy to understand why these out-of-state companies are so interested in the passage of a Georgia amendment: they see an opportunity to move into the state and boost their profits by grabbing tax funds that normally would be allocated to public schools. The organization opposing the amendment, Vote SMART, hasn’t been able to raise as much money as the supporters, but most of its contributions have come from teachers and educators in Georgia school systems. This leads to another important question: Is it better to have schools operated by people who choose to live and work in Georgia, or should we turn the schools over to companies whose priority is profits rather than student performance? Charter schools are an important part of the school choices that are already available to our students. Are they so important that they justify taking away local control of education tax dollars? Let’s discuss that. Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

that, were Pulaski Heights designated historic, her designs there would most likely have not been allowed, which is unfortunate, since they are major contributors to the eclectic feel of the neighborhood. In a recent column, I praised Newcomer’s avant-garde designs. But while she can be trusted, not all developers should. Sadly, all one has to do is drive through Five Points to see several residences that do not match the neighborhood in terms of scale, style, quality of construction, street setback and so on. These are houses that have dramatically altered the streetscape and character of the neighborhood. Friends of Five Points, a neighborhood organization, released a study on infill development in 2010 because a survey showed that 94 percent of Five Points residents were concerned about it. For example, a new house is under construction on Cloverhurst Avenue—where a smaller historic home once stood—that is larger than surrounding residences. Kathy Stella Smith

Last month, I attended what I thought would be an uneventful—even boring— Historic Preservation Commission meeting about the proposed Buena Vista Heights historic district. Boy, was I wrong! The historic designation of Buena Vista Heights is quite controversial. Some residents are for it, some are against it, and both sides are adamant they are right. Buena Vista Heights has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1999. Supporters of a local historic district, which provides more protection, believe they should preserve one of the first suburbs in Athens, keep (even more) McMansions out of the neighborhood and make sure its cohesiveness is maintained. Many Boulevard residents spoke in favor of making Buena Vista Heights an historic district as well. The histories of Buena Vista and Boulevard are very similar, and many residents of both neighborhoods felt that if one is considered historic, the other should be, too.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 10, 2012

This large house under construction on Cloverhurst where a historic house once stood has been accepted by most neighbors, but it symbolizes Buena Vista residents’ worst nightmare. However, many speakers were opposed to the historic district. They felt that their rights would be violated, and they would have no control over the property they own. HPC member Sharon Bradley made an interesting point: People don’t have complete control over their property now, since Athens-Clarke County has zoning, tree ordinances and other laws put in place to protect the property of residents. Common objections were that Buena Vista Heights lacks historic value; an historic designation would create a neighborhood of cookie-cutter houses and renters (apparently, people don’t buy new houses unless they are over 3,000 square feet); a designation would devalue other historic neighborhoods in town; and Athens could not afford to lose the money from tax freezes (if designated, contributing structures would have property taxes frozen for several years). Another major objection to the historic designation was that creativity would be stifled and new development would be restricted to a specific set of guidelines. Lori Bork Newcomer, who designs contemporary houses, reminded everyone that new development does not equal bad development, and that sometimes people—even developers—have to be trusted. Newcomer and several others agreed

Hoard and Mike Hamby, the Athens-Clarke commissioners for the Cloverhurst area, informed residents of the application to demolish the smaller home and the property owner’s intention to build a larger one. Only one neighbor expressed concern over the new structure, according to Hoard, but she says she received a number of calls and emails expressing no concern over the demolition or proposed new development. Part of Cloverhurst is in an historic district, but not the area where the new house is under construction. An historic designation would require new structures to win approval from ACC. Most residents are not interested in it becoming a historic district, though, Hoard says. But back to Buena Vista. The HPC voted 3-1 to recommend that the Mayor and Commission approve the Buena Vista Heights historic district. Residents with concerns over whether or not their house is contributing or non-contributing will have another chance to weigh in. If the district is approved, residents won’t have to reverse changes they’ve already made, and owners of non-contributing homes will get some leeway. The HPC approves more than 90 percent of changes, planners say. Stella Smith

theatre review Pure, Scampering Chaos There are just some things that make everything better, that introduce such an element of delight that it can turn anything around. Like the way all food improves with the addition of bacon, or how the presence of Christopher Walken elevates the lousiest movies into the realm of art, or how the worst news can seem OK when delivered in the voice of Fred Schneider. It’s the little things, but they work like magic. Case in point: There is no entertainment that is not vastly improved by the inclusion of a vicar in his underwear. That’s the conclusion I reached while watching the Town & Gown Players’ production of See How They Run. Long before it was a Beatles lyric, the phrase came from the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice,” describing the hilarity that ensues when you chase visually impaired rodents around with sharp utensils. How the mice know what’s coming after them I have no idea, but the result is pure, scampering chaos, just like this play. Written by Philip King in 1943 and originally produced in the thick of World War II, the play is a froth of mistaken identities, misunderstandings and lots and lots of running around madly. The tiny English village of Merton-cumMiddlewick is the home of the Reverend Lionel Toop (Patrick Hooper), a young, buttoned-down vicar who has somehow scored a seriously hot wife, former American actress Penelope (Asia Meana). Penelope loves her husband but chafes at the horse-drawn pace

of the village and insists on such scandalous behavior as wearing trousers and flirting with the soldiers at the nearby American military base. Such extravagance rankles some in the town, particularly local gossip-monger and big-fish-in-small-pond Mrs. Skillon (Kelly McGlaun-Fields), who looks for every opportunity to lay some heavy tut-tutting on Penelope. It appears that Mrs. Skillon gets her fondest wish when she spies Penelope in a playful clinch with Clive (Briton Dean), now a corporal stationed at the base but once a fellow actor and an old friend. But before the old busybody can make mischief, she’s accidentally clipped in the jaw and then plied with a bottle of cooking sherry to keep her down while Penelope and Clive, dressed in one of Lionel’s suits and collar to avoid scandal, go off to see a show. Meanwhile, Lionel is having problems of his own. While he frantically prepares for a visit from a traveling vicar (Todd Curless) and a bishop (Murray Weed) who happens to be Penelope’s uncle, he’s attacked by a Russian spy (Daniel Cutts) who’s just escaped from the base and needs his clothes. Suddenly Penelope and her maid Ida (Elizabeth Day) find themselves having to avert a catastrophe as the vicarage is filled with real and false vicars, with everyone wearing Lionel’s clothes except Lionel, chasing each other around the house and through the garden. And to make matters worse, Mrs. Skillon is sobering up.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 10, 2012

See How They Run continues at the Athens Community Theatre through Oct. 14. Don’t look for deep meaning in this play, because there is none to be found. See How They Run is pure slapstick farce, and thank goodness. It operates in that middle ground between Restoration bed-trick comedy and “Three’s Company,” a place where people run around cartoonishly, tossing zingers back and forth like Frisbees at a Phish show. While not quite as clever as, say, a Marx Brothers romp, there’s enough old-fashioned pie-in-the-face here to tickle even the most jaded theatergoer. The ensemble cast is very good, especially a wisecracking Dean, a befuddled Curless and a quick-witted Meana. Tyler Dain’s swaggering constable, appearing in the second act, could be reined in a bit; he’s over-the-top, as he should be, but his performance feels a bit too cartoon-y and at odds with the rest of the cast. Still, as a whole, the cast performs with the kind of split-second timing that a good farce requires. In fact, the one-liners come so

quickly that many are bound to get lost while the audience is laughing. There is one set, the Toops’ Edwardian living room, but with many doors and points of entry. It looks both beautiful and like a lot of fun to play in. The costumes are simple but pleasing. Director Rebekah Williams has made an interesting choice in See How They Run. It’s utter candy floss, but the lack of demands on the audience works for it, leaving us free to sit back and enjoy the cavorting for its own sake and its many elements of delight. John G. Nettles See How They Run continues its run at the Athens Community Theatre Thursday-Saturday, Oct. 11–13, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 14, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15, $8 for students on Thursday. Go to www. townandgownplayers.org for more information and visit www.showclix.com to purchase tickets.

art notes Windows to the Soul: The aristocratic fashion trend of eye miniatures— exquisite, smallscale watercolor portraits of individual eyes painted on ivory and set into various forms of Georgian jewelry—stems from a scandalous story of forbidden love. In 1784, a young and smitten Prince of Wales, later crowned King George IV of England, proposed to a Catholic widow and commoner named Maria Fitzherbert. Rejecting his advances, knowing that the king would likely disapprove, Fitzherbert fled to the Continent for over a year. Her absence only made the prince’s heart grow fonder, however, and he eventually wrote her a second proposal of marriage, enclosing a small painting of his eye in place of an engagement ring. She returned, and the two were secretly wedded, commissioning eye portraits to keep as hidden tokens of each other’s affection. Despite the unapproved marriage later being declared invalid by the Royal Marriages Act, their romantic tale spurred the public to exchange their own miniatures in a trend that lasted for 30 years or so. Nan and David Skier of the Georgia Museum of Art’s exhibit “The Look of Love: Eye Miniatures from the Skier Collection” laid eyes on their first miniature, an elegant ring with a detailed painting of a young man’s eye, while perusing an antique show in 1993.

Each distinct piece, depicting the eye of a spouse, child or loved one, only recognizable to someone of intimate familiarity, serves as a fragment of history, representing a real-life person and his or her story. Most pieces in the collection are no larger than an inch wide, so visitors are encouraged to check out a free iPad with an app that magnifies works and provides videos shot from multiple angles. “The Look of Love: Eye Miniatures from the Skier Collection” will be on display at GMOA through Jan. 6, 2013. The museum will host a special Halloweenthemed “Family Day: Eye-Popping Art” on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m.–noon, during which parents and their children are invited to visit the exhibit together for inspiration, then create their own spooky eye miniatures. For a more in-depth discussion, head registrar Tricia Miller will present “Gallery Talk: Cult of the Dead” on Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 2–3 p.m. Citing many of the collection’s pieces that were created to mourn the loss of a loved one, Miller will present how late-18th- and early19th-century English trends in sentimentality and mourning influenced American culture.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week. • indicates new review ARBITRAGE (R) Richard Gere stars —and hopes for a Best Actor nomination—in this dramatic economic thriller. Gere’s hedge fund mogul turns to an unlikely source after messing up big time in an attempt to sell his company. Nicholas Jarecki, brother of Andrew (Capturing the Friedmans) and Eugene (Why We Fight), makes his fictional feature directing debut. With Tim Roth, Susan Sarandon, William Friedkin (?), Laetitia Casta and the awesome Chris Eigeman (a Wilt Stillman fave). (Ciné) ARGO (R) Ben Affleck has really taken to this whole filmmaking thing. The Oscar winner’s previous Gone Baby Gone and The Town really pleased the critically-minded. His latest, a dramatic comedy about the Iran Revolution with Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kyle Chandler and Alan Arkin should do the same. The once classified true story involves a CIA operative who plots to use a fake Hollywood sci-fi flick to rescue six Americans being sheltered in the Canadian Embassy in Tehran. THE AVENGERS (PG-13) The various Avengers—Robert Downey, Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, another new Hulk (this time Mark Ruffalo gets to unleash the beast) and the rest—have assembled, and together they are a blast. BULLY (PG-13) Filmmaker Lee Hirsch (Amandla!) forces viewers to confront the stark realities of bullying on five families, including two reeling from the suicides of their bullied sons, in this harrowing first-hand account of the daily victimization of millions of kids. Amazingly and horrifyingly, Hirsch captures footage of other children victimizing the film’s central figure, 12-year-old Alex, which begs the question: Have children become so desensitized to cameras that they will break rules and laws even when they know they are being watched? A tough, probing look at a serious problem, Bully is a rewarding, if uneasy, watch that does not pose any easy answers. THE CAMPAIGN (R) One expects big laughs from a Will Ferrell-Zack Galifianakis political comedy, but one merely hopes for a sharp enough satirical framework to build upon. Austin Powers director Jay Roach has honed his political teeth on HBO’s “Recount” and “Game Change” and provides the proper support for Ferrell/Galifianakis’s silly showdown as North Carolina congressional candidates. Ferrell’s helmet-haired Democratic incumbent Cam Brady, loosely based on John Edwards, peddles to the “America, Jesus and freedom” crowd as he takes on Galifianakis’s oddball Republican challenger, Marty Huggins (His pants! His sweaters! His run!). Both comics are at their recent best. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (PG-13) Fanboy expectations of all-time greatness aside, The Dark Knight Rises concludes filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy as satisfyingly as one can hope. Having taken the fall for the murder of Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, Batman is no longer welcome in Gotham City, which is all right with shut-in Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), the eccentric billionaire who continues

12

to mourn the death of his love, Rachel. (Interestingly, The Joker is never mentioned.) But a new evil, the muscleand-respirator-clad Bane (Tom Hardy, finally doing the great Bat-breaker justice), has risen, requiring Batman to return to action. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS (PG) The formula still entertains but has grown increasingly worn in the third installation of the unlikely Wimpy Kid franchise, based on the bestselling books by Jeff Kinney. As the school year gives way to summer, Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) again proves a poor son—though not as bad as older bro, Rodrick (Devon Bostick)—and an even poorer friend to the series’ best character, Rowley (Robert Capron), who invites Greg on daily trips to the country club and his family’s big vacation. The movie, as a whole, is not as good as its predecessors. END OF WATCH (R) Writer-director David Ayer has had enough practice at the tough cop thriller; he wrote Training Day, Dark Blue and S.W.A.T. before directing Harsh Times (which he also wrote) and Street Kings. It was about time he got one perfect, and End of Watch may be as close as he ever gets. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña vividly play Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, two hotshot cops partnered on the violent streets of South Central Los Angeles. The partners’ genuine love for each other drives this film from open to close and makes the otherwise rote gangs and gunplay narrative so much more affecting. FINDING NEMO (G) 2003. I came late to the Finding Nemo party and have not taken to it like other Pixar greats. Maybe the addition of a third dimension will help. Clownfish Marlin (v. Albert Brooks) goes searching for his son, Nemo (v. Alexander Gould), who is lost in the big, scary ocean. Fortunately, Marlin has pal Dory (v. Ellen Degeneres), a blue tang fish, to help him out. Director Andrew Stanton went on to make Wall-E. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. • FRANKENWEENIE (PG) I’m not going to tell you Tim Burton is back, but Frankenweenie is his best film since the 1990s. Going back to his animation roots and his love of classic horror invigorates the blockbuster auteur. Frankenweenie is certainly his best genre film since 1999’s underrated James Whale love letter, Sleepy Hollow. This classic horror movie homage, itself a remake of Burton’s lovely black and white 1984 short film of the same name, will please both adult genre fans and their indiscriminate children. This family horror flick easily bests recent release Hotel Transylvania and probably has a slight edge on ParaNorman. Sweet Victor Frankenstein reanimates the family dog, Sparky, after he’s hit by a car. Unfortunately, the townspeople of New Holland, especially his classmates, either don’t understand the power Victor has discovered or are simply afraid of science in general. Fans of Burton’s original short will be pleased with the narrative additions made in John August’s script. The last act of monster mayhem enjoys a silly Gremlins-meet-Godzilla showdown

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 10, 2012

at the town fair that is a sheer horror delight. One excellent family friendly horror film this year (ParaNorman) was cause for excitement; two is cause for celebration. HERE COMES THE BOOM (PG) Oh, Kevin James. You’re as likable as your better compensated pal, Adam Sandler, and equally as capable of making unlikable movies. Maybe Here Comes the Boom will break that trend; its sharing director Frank Coraci with Zookeeper isn’t a great sign. To save his school’s music program, a high school biology teacher (James) moonlights as a mixed martial arts fighter. With Salma Hayek, Henry “The Fonz” Winkler, Greg Germann and Joe Rogan as “Joe Rogan.” HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA (PG) Unlike the superior ParaNorman, which was a genuinely, safely frightening family horror flick, Hotel Transylvania is an amusing, run-of-the-mill animated family movie where the main characters are harmless monsters. (The lesson that monsters aren’t dangerous is a terrible, hazardous message to teach children.) To protect monsters and his daughter, Mavis, from their dreaded enemies, humans, Dracula (genially voiced by Adam Sandler)

Bacall, Billy Crystal, Josh Hutcherson and Blythe Danner. (Ciné) ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT (PG) Manny (v. Ray Romano), Diego (v. Denis Leary) and Sid (v. John Leguizamo) return in a fourth adventure, which is good news for the millions not waiting for this fatigued franchise to go extinct. The trio get separated from the herd, which includes Manny’s wife, Ellie (v. Queen Latifah), and daughter, Peaches (v. Keke Palmer), and meet a pirate crew led by Captain Gutt (exceptionally voiced by “Games of Thrones” Emmy winner Peter Dinklage). Nothing unpredictable happens (Sid messes things up, no one cares), and the suspense is even less harrowing than your typical television cartoon. The rest of the celebrity voices are a mixed bag as well. Wanda Sykes brings the funny as Sid’s toothless granny, but Drake and Nicki Minaj are non-starters. Aziz Ansari is wasted and J-Lo is present. This kiddie flick is only for children not interested in Frankenweenie or Paranorman. LAS BUENAS HIERBAS (NR) 2010.

Say “cowbell” and I’ll tear your throat out. sets up a hotel in the safe confines of Transylvania. Horror movie fans will prefer ParaNorman, but the kids will love checking into Hotel Transylvania. HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET (PG-13) Another soporific, unscary PG-13 horror movie that will draw in the teens and tweenies, House at the End of the Street stars The Hunger Games’ Jennifer Lawrence as Elissa, who moves to a new town with her divorced mom (Elisabeth Shue). Soon Elissa is smitten with her cute new neighbor, Ryan (Max Theriot, a horror vet from My Soul to Take), the town bogeyman whose parents were murdered by his younger sister, Carrie Anne. Despite an overactive, handheld camera, director Mark Tonderai does little of note with the script from David Loucka, who wrote the even less frightening Dream House. HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE (PG) 2004. From Sept. 27 through Oct. 21, Ciné presents the Studio Ghibli Film Series, a retrospective that includes four of animation legend Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpieces. Next up is the Academy Award nominated Howl’s Moving Castle. A cursed young woman seeks out her only hope of a cure, a young wizard in his legged, walking home. The English language voices are provided by Christian Bale, Emily Mortimer, Jean Simmons, Lauren

Maria Novaro’s Las Buenas Hierbas, or The Good Herbs. A single mother attempts to cope with raising her toddler and assisting her mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, screenings take place every Thursday through Oct. 18. Each film will be introduced by a faculty member or graduate student, who will also lead a post-film discussion; Mark Anderson, Romance Languages, is this week’s host. (Georgia Museum of Art) LAWLESS (R) Despite what works in John Hillcoat’s follow-up to The Road, the main characters of Lawless—a family of bootlegging brothers played by Tom Hardy, Shia LeBeouf and Jason Clarke—don’t quite welcome viewing visitors to Franklin County, VA, “the Wettest County in the World.” Facing off against a perfumed dandy of a sheriff, Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce, as if he’s auditioning to play the new Dick Tracy villain, No Brows), the legendary Bondurant Brothers survive sure death time and again, but the story never makes their continued existence the viewer’s imperative outside of “If the bros die, the film ends.” LOOPER (R) Whoa! Ever since Brick, I have waited for Rian Johnson to make good on that coolly stylish teen-noir’s immense promise. Johnson might still have better films to come, but this

tricksy, time travel, sci-fi noir ensures Brick’s promise has been fulfilled. In a future where time travel is an illegal reality, hitmen called loopers wait in the past for gangsters to send them their targets. Armed with a blunderbuss, Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) awaits his marks, knowing one day he will have to “close the loop,” meaning kill his older self. When Old Joe (Bruce Willis) finally shows, the showdown doesn’t go as smoothly as planned. Had The Terminator mated with a film noir, Looper would be the exciting result. Don’t expect any lengthy scientific discussions of time travel (that doesn’t mean the film doesn’t have a lot to say; one flaw is a too-wordy middle act). Do expect lots of violence, a bit of a mind trip and the best Bruce Willis movie in years. Willis might still be the top draw, but the talented Gordon-Levitt as a young Bruno keeps the movie moving. Looper is certainly 2012’s best science fiction and is shortlisted for the year’s best. THE MASTER (R) Auteur Paul Thomas Anderson’s tremendous, flawless cinematic masterpieces can be pompous, emotionally distant and inscrutable to a fault. The Master proves no less perfectly composed and no less difficult to process. Volatile, World War II vet Freddie Quill (Joaquin Phoenix) is struggling to adjust to post-war life when he meets author Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the founder of a spiritual movement called The Cause. Despite Anderson’s basing Dodd on Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, don’t expect an evisceration of the controversial religion; you’ll leave disappointed. Instead, revel in the never mundane, constantly homoerotic study of two vastly different, wonderfully deep characters. Phoenix powers Quill with explosive animalistic instinct (it’s the sort of performance audiences have come to expect from the seemingly crazed thespian), while Hoffman duels his fiery costar with Dodd’s cool, intellectual restraint. (Ciné) MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (R) Medical school student Rudy (Emayatzy Corinealdi) drops out of school to care for her incarcerated husband, Derek (Omari Hardwick, Sparkle), after he is sentenced to eight years in prison. In her feature writing-directing debut, Ava DuVernay won the Sundance Film Festival’s Dramatic Directing Award and was nominated for the festival’s ultimate prize, the Grand Jury Prize. With David Oyelowo (the Red Tails star is about to blow up with upcoming roles in Lincoln and Jack Reacher). MOONRISE KINGDOM (PG-13) Wes Anderson provides 2012 with a twee coming of age tale about Sam and Suzy (wonderful newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward), two tweens that learn about love after running away from their tiny island home. Any moviegoers not already enchanted by Anderson’s previous whimsies will not be won over by his newest, extremely eccentric romance. (UGA Tate Theater) PARANORMAN (PG) This marvelous, family horror flick is the writing-directing debut of Corpse Bride/Coraline storyboard artist Chris Butler, whose time apprenticing under Tim Burton and Henry Selick was well-spent. I was smitten from its Grindhouse opening well through the closing credits scored to The White Stripes’ “Little Ghost.”

This hip, stop-motion animated feature pulls no punches like ‘80s kiddie adventure and horror movies like Goonies and Something Wicked This Way Comes. • PITCH PERFECT (PG-13) Infectious is the best word to describe the a cappella college comedy Pitch Perfect. Barden University’s women’s singing group, the Barden Bellas, need some fresh blood after a devastating loss in the national finals of collegiate, competitive a cappella. Freshman Beca (Anna Kendrick, delightful as ever even if her character is an overly pouty teen), Fat Amy (rising star Rebel Wilson) and several interchangeable coeds join seniors Aubrey (Anna Camp, “True Blood”) and Chloe (Brittany Snow, “American Dreams”) as they battle their way back to the top. The movie lacks any message stronger than a cappella is a lot of fun, and the comic ensemble, including John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks, lend a spiteful humorous edge to what could have just been a bland radio friendly hit. [REC] 3: GENESIS (R) The unlikely foreign horror franchise continues without its usual found footage gimmick. A couple’s wedding turns bloody as guests start to exhibit symptoms of the series’ spreading sickness. Paco Plaza is on his own after codirecting the first two entries with Darkness’ Jaume Balaguero, and the buzz suggests the horror three-quel might be the best yet. With a third movie, the Spanish franchise has surpassed its American offspring, Quarantine, which has stalled at two (for now). (Ciné) RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION (R) Well, the lesser breed of Resident Evil—movie rather than video game— returns with a fifth entry that is the (relative) best yet. Writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson finally (sort of) embraces the series’ video game origins, even favoring franchise favorite characters over actors in the opening credits and tossing Las Plagas into the T-virus mix. Monotonous B-grade action dominates the C-grade, cosplay acting and writing for the next hour and a half. RUBY SPARKS (R) The directors of Little Miss Sunshine, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, return with a fantastical romantic comedy about an author, Calvin (Paul Dano), who conjures the titular woman (screenwriter Zoe Kazan) out of thin air. Ruby ends up being Calvin’s one true love. But is it love if you can control the person’s every move, thought and emotion? With the underrated Chris Messina, Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas, Steve Coogan, Elliot Gould and “Arrested Development”’s Alia Shawkat. (Ciné) l SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS (R) The titular seven psychos include Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace), but more importantly the lead psycho is Academy Award winning writer-director Martin McDonagh, whose In Bruges was a surprisingly adept crime comedy. The plot of his new film involves a screenwriter who gets entangled with L.A.’s criminal element after his crazed buddy kidnapped Shih Tzu. If the trailer is any indication, Seven Psychopaths is going to be a crazy winner. SINISTER (R) Ethan Hawke’s true crime novelist uses home movies to solve the murder that occurred in his new house. Unfortunately, this discovery puts his family in danger courtesy of some supernatural demon. Director Scott Derrickson returns to the horror of his Exorcism of Emily Rose after the sci-fi bust that was The Day the Earth Stood Still. This flick’s success rests on the talented shoulders of Hawke and costar Vincent D’Onofrio. Too bad good actors don’t necessarily make for good horror.

SLEEPWALK WITH ME (NR) Standup comic Mike Birbiglia cowrote, codirected and starred in this comedy about life as a sleepwalking standup comic whose career and relationship are stuck in neutral. The trailer is one of the best I’ve recently seen at CinĂŠ. “This American Lifeâ€? fans take note that the popular radio show and this film share producers. Winner of the Best of Next! Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and the Writer/Director Award at the Nantucket Film Festival. With Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Underâ€?) and James Rebhorn. (CinĂŠ) • TAKEN 2 (PG-13) Most movies fail to encapsulate the description “unnecessary sequelâ€? as perfectly as Taken 2. (I wish it had had some silly subtitle like Taken 2: Takenier, but alas.) As a consequence of the violent methods he employed to retrieve his kidnapped daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), in the first movie, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), must face off

against the Albanian dad (played by go-to Eastern European baddie Rade Serbedzija) of one of the sex traffickers he killed during his rescue mission. Once Bryan get himself and Kim to safety, he must go after some more Albanians and save his estranged wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen). The scenery—Bryan must clean the Eurotrash from the bazaars of Istanbul as opposed to the streets of Paris. Taken 2 falls far below the bar set by its surprise success of a predecessor. TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE (PG-13) You’ll have no Trouble with the Curve so long as old man jokes, spryly delivered by a grouchier than usual Clint Eastwood, can keep you entertained for two hours. As aging baseball scout Gus Lobel, Eastwood seems to be workshopping a new stand-up routine. Fortunately, the capable bunch of on-camera talent should please the hometown crowds wishing to play a game of “Spot the Shots of Athens.�

WAR OF THE BUTTONS (NR) In this WWII France-set family adventure, Labrac (Jean Texier) leads his gang against their rivals in a play war. He also has feelings for Violette, a Jewish girl in danger of being discovered by the Nazis. The adults are played by former Victoria’s Secret model and �Sports Illustrated� Swimsuit cover girl Laetitia Casta and Guillaume Canet. This movie is selling itself as from the producer of The Artist, Thomas Langmann. WON’T BACK DOWN (PG) This dramatization inspired by actual events makes a fine companion piece to Waiting for “Superman,� and I cannot think of a more damning criticism. A young mother, Jamie Fitzpatrick (Maggie Gyllenhaal), sees her dyslexic daughter struggling in a failing school and decides to take over with the help of Nona Alberts (Viola Davis).

He’s the stereotypical “B� student: always room for improvement. Here, Gere is perfectly on target and in control, so when his thoroughly despicable character starts to unravel, it’s great to see the actor relish spinning out of control.

Richard Gere killing his passenger. He covers up the crash with the involvement of an acquaintance, Jimmy (Nate Parker), and attempts to keep a diligent detective (Tim Roth) who knows he’s guilty off his back. This is the type of solid, character-driven dramatic thriller major studios used to churn out with ease. It’s not as common now, but writer/director Nicholas Jarecki thankfully doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo. Arbitrage is something Sidney Lumet would have directed back in the 1970s or 1980s, although it doesn’t in any way feel like some misguided attempt to replicate that era of movies. This displays classic non-showboating craftsmanship, but it feels fresh, too, anchored by a confident, swaggering turn by Gere. The actor has delivered some impressive

family (the people who have no idea things are slipping) is an illusion, and by the movie’s final moments, we know how deep the rot festers inside him. It’s a magnificently poisonous ending. The always-reliable Tim Roth sinks his teeth into the role, and his one major scene with Gere is a dramatically meaty one. Marling fares less well in her scenes with Gere, coming off as unsure of her choices and stiff, and Susan Sarandon (who plays Miller’s wife) promises a lot but the script doesn’t have much to offer her until her final scene. Arbitrage is Jarecki’s feature directorial debut, and the future will be bright if his subsequent work is this assured. Derek Hill

Three Crazy Nights

threats & promises The Diverse Debut of Jumping into the deep end this week, folks. Hang on; we’ll get there. Just read the stuff below and stay calm. It’s all gonna be OK… Inhale, Exhale: After laying low for what seems like forever, Tommy Wedge and his ongoing musical project Wedge have a new collection of songs available for free download. It’s titled These Thieves, and you can grab your copy over at wedge.bandcamp.com. The group recorded it themselves but enlisted Chase Park Transduction to transfer the recordings to tape and Jason Nesmith (Bel Air Studio) to handle mastering. The threetrack EP follows a familiar path of arpeggioed dream-pop full of lush keyboard rushes and half-sighed/half-softly wailed vocals. Winter is coming. Vinyl Frontier: Tunabunny follows up its (rightfully) critically acclaimed Minima Moralia this month with the release of its third fulllength record, Genius Fatigue. The band plays a release show Oct. 25 at New Earth Music Hall. Joining them on the bill are two local HHBTM labelmates, Eureka California and Muuy Biien, along with two groups from the label’s West Coast contingent, Orca Team and

The Suex Effect Bam Bam. Everyone except Muuy Biien will have just played the HHBTM showcase at New York’s CMJ Music Marathon, so they should be pretty high on life. I’ve been spinning the Tunabunny record at home for about a month now and am about 80 percent behind it. It doesn’t seem as howlingly defiant or as hideand-don’t-seek-oriented as Minima Moralia. But a reaction like that may be the very point of the album’s title. Tunabunny is one of those rare bands to which I’m willing to give a wide swath of allowance, because they’ve proven time and again they can craft solid gold out of only three chords and the truth. Sometimes we need new ears to hear things again for the first time. Keep up with the band via facebook.com/Tunabunny and the others via hhbtm.com. Rooftop Jammin’: On the opposite end of the Athens rock music spectrum, we have The Suex Effect. These bass-thumpin’, hardgroovin’ dudes—think Primus and dinosaur rock—will celebrate the release of their sophomore album, Phases, on Monday, Oct. 15 on the Georgia Theatre rooftop. The show is free, open to anyone 21 and up and will feature opening band Old You. The Suex (pronounced “sway”) Effect will be running a special deal

this night where you can get a CD copy of the new album for free if you purchase one of their new Phases t-shirts. The band will tour the East Coast for the remainder of October to promote the album. Follow along at facebook. com/TheSuexEffect. Rolling Near the River: The Slow Water Music Festival is Saturday, Oct. 20. Taking its name from the location, Slow Water Kayaking, the fest will take place at the Royston, GA facility that sits right on the Broad River. The event is focused on raising funds for nonprofit organizations, and this year’s beneficiary is Nuçi’s Space. The fest features Bloodkin, Dangfly, Mama’s Love, Ike Stubblefield, The Woodgrains, Michael Guthrie and Phil Duncan, as well as special performances by the Nuçi’s Space Camp Amped Band and Full Moon Studio’s School of Rock Band. Tickets are a mere $15 (or $20 if you want to arrive Friday evening and camp overnight), and can be purchased via www.athensmusic.net/slowwater. If you’ve got any questions, drop them to organizer Betsy Franck via bfranckmusic@ gmail.com. A Nod and a Handshake: The guys in Lionz took my recent skewering of their song and video “Hit the Bong” with a certain stride and pride that’s pretty much never seen among Athens musicians. (Private to Lionz: Good on y’all. Hat tip!) In other Lionz news, the band reports that it’s been working for a year with producer/ engineer and longtime Athens songwriter Nathan Sheppard on two upcoming albums, From Dark to Light and The Other Side. To keep these projects in the public eye and also, presumably, to let off a little creative steam, the band will put out one new song and video at the beginning of each month. The two new albums feature names like Randall Bramblett, Clarence Cameron, Sunny Ortiz (Widespread Panic), Daniel Marler (The Brothers Marler), Carlton Owens, the aforementioned Sheppard, Leslie Sokal, Stephen Spivey (ex-Tishamingo) and Jefferson Taffet. Keep up with the whole gang via lionz.org. Rock-N-Scroll: A very cool set of bands plays the 40 Watt on Friday, Oct. 19. The show is being dually promoted by Gypsy Farm Records and Orange Twin Records, and it features The Humms, E.X.P., The Shoal Creek Stranglers and Andrew, Scott & Laura (surnamed Rieger, Spillane and Carter, respectively.) Orange Twin steps full-on into the 21st century this night, too, when it previews its new smartphone application, “Handy Jam.” The app was programmed by former Athenian Geoff Reacher, a fine songwriter in his own right who now lives in Austin, TX. In what could be seen as a sign of a technology-aided musical apocalypse, the Handy Jam will serve as DJ in between live sets. Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com

Athens Intensified

W

hen the annual Athens PopFest finally shuttered shop, one of its organizers felt a festival-sized hole in his life. Gordon Lamb wanted to continue organizing an Athens-based music event that would bring together bands and fans from disparate genres. With a mixture of touring acts and local groups performing over three consecutive nights, Athens Intensified makes its debut this weekend. Its organizer hopes it will turn into a yearly event. “What it is is a new festival,” says Lamb, a scene vet and longtime Flagpole contributor who, over the years, has been involved with Wuxtry Records, Kindercore, PopFest and the Caledonia Lounge, among others.

promote, but you really have to work at scaling things back. And that’s on a few fronts— not [over-promising] to the acts how many people will show up, and being upfront during negotiations, not [overstating] to the audience how great the show will be. “The first bands I approached were bands I’d worked with before, bands that I knew and didn’t have to work uphill to convince it was going to be a good show,” continues Lamb. “And also bands that I didn’t have to sell on Athens: they’d been here before, knew the town, knew the venue and knew me. The Queers, for instance, did us a total solid and actually rerouted their tour so that they could play here in Athens. And Silver Apples have been over doing a tour in Europe; they’re comWataru Umeda

Music News And Gossip

Silver Apples? More like silver fox! “I wanted to keep something going, and keep doing something. There was definitely a level of burnout [with] PopFest, and new involvement in other things [by] my partners… I was the only one that had the energy and desire to keep something going.” Says Lamb of the new festival’s moniker, “I wanted a name that evoked a mood rather than a style or genre. It’s smaller, at least in the first year, but that could get bigger later.” The three nights, all of which are all-ages, cover differing sounds. The first night features an Elliott Smith tribute featuring locals performing the late singer’s tunes. (Proceeds from that show will benefit Nuçi’s Space.) Late-’60s psychedelic electronic act Silver Apples headlines night two, and the final night ramps up the energy for The Queers—pop-punk stalwart Joe Queer backed by whatever lineup he’s got in tow these days. “The identity I’m hoping it has and develops into is that it will be an exciting gathering,” says Lamb. “The word ‘intensified’ was chosen deliberately. Where things are ramped up a little bit. Where the headliners and the whole bill will just be damn good acts people will get excited about. It wasn’t casual. It’s a word that has some action behind it, some movement behind it.” Lamb learned a lot during his PopFest years—and that’s on top of his prior experience booking shows for the house-party DIY venue Ultramod Compound. He says the most valuable skill he’s trying to apply to his new endeavor is to under-promise and overperform. “It sounds basic,” he says, “but it’s hard to do. Of course, my tendency is to promise how great something will be and promote and

ing back to do one show in New York, then coming down to do the show here.” Though The Queers and Silver Apples may be the big names on the bill, Lamb has also assembled a bevy of nationally touring and local acts as support. Also on Friday’s bill are Entertainment, Quiet Evenings, I Come to Shanghai and Brothers. Intensified’s third night features an appropriately noisy, poppunk-leaning lineup, including Karbomb, Burns Like Fire, Grim Pickins & The Bastard Congregation, She Wolf and Muuy Biien. “They’re all bands that I wanted to see, too,” says Lamb. “They don’t necessarily have huge draw[s] on their own, but I think [they] fit really well on that bill… I thought it was really important for my own sanity, and for the integrity of the festival, that I only book bands whose music I like and can get behind.” Adds Lamb, “The festival circuit is such a crowded arena. I was committed to having an identity that was very much Athens-based. Not so much Athens artists, but something that is located here, brings people to town and brings out people in town, and also captures the creative feel of Athens.” Chris Hassiotis

Got a Fever? The Only Prescription Is More

Sleigh Bells

S

leigh Bells is everywhere these days. The criminally catchy cheerleader-metal hooks of the band’s debut album, Treats, have shown up in commercials (Victoria’s Secret), television (“Girls”) and movies (Bachelorette), just to name a few. Indeed, Treats’ popular single “Infinity Guitars” seems more appropriately titled every day. Back with a shreddier, bloodier and more adult-minded sophomore release, Reign of Terror, Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller will make their first trip to Athens. While Reign of Terror certainly maintains Sleigh Bells’ signature sound, the record is a heavier affair than the candy-coated Treats. The effusive Krauss is well aware of that fact. “Treats has a certain levity and sense of abandon about it that Reign of Terror doesn’t have,” she offers. “Reign of Terror is lyrically a much darker record, and… a bit more sophisticated—and it’s obviously a much guitar-heavier record.” These days, Sleigh Bells moves at the speed of light. Says Krauss, “It’s interesting thinking about the first two records, because I’m in third-record mode. We just got out of the studio and we have three new songs recorded.” Although Krauss has explored various musical avenues throughout her life (as a teenager, she was a member of saccharine pop group RubyBlue; she did session work in college), she admits that Sleigh Bells was something of a surprise. “I sort of pushed away from music for a few years,” she explains. “It just wasn’t something that I saw myself doing again, unless I could do it on my own terms—unless I could work with someone who shared my convictions. “[Derek] lived in my neighborhood,” she continues. “I remember when he found the vocal for [‘Infinity Guitars’], which already existed, but it felt like something that was composed for me… There was something sort of magical about our relationship, because from the beginning we had this… understanding of what [we both] wanted.” As for her band’s burgeoning popularity and tidal wave of commercial opportunity, Krauss makes no apologies. “Every single licensing opportunity comes directly to us,” she notes right off the bat. “I think we’re pretty liberal. Obviously, we don’t give it out to every company that asks… A lot of times people think because you’re an ‘alternative’ band that you shouldn’t whore out your music to companies. “But we’re pretty sure about the integrity of our music,” she says. “We’re trying to make a living… We feel very strongly that our music is very inclusive, rather than exclusive, and the more people hear about us the better. I think it’s perfectly legitimate to find out about our songs from a Victoria’s Secret commercial and come to our show. That fan is just as much of a fan as the fan who’s been reading about us on Pitchfork.” She’s an unassuming presence on the phone, but this Thursday Krauss will be rocking the Classic City at the top of her lungs—and TVs and movie theaters around the world at the same damn time. Kinda cool, no? Sleigh Bells, slay on. David Fitzgerald

WUOG Reaches a Hard-Earned Milestone

“WUOG literally fell into my lap,â€? says WUOG’s Operations Co-Director and “Halftime Hip-Hop Showâ€? host Akeeme Martin. “I was walking to class one day, and I saw this flyer.â€? The year was 2005, but the scenario might sound familiar to anyone involved with the university’s student-run radio station throughout its 40 years of existence. From its humble beginnings in 1972 on the fifth floor of Memorial Hall to its current, more prominent Tate Center location, the organization has long been a creative force in the Athens community, an outlet for artsy types and aspiring broadcasters, a quiet cultural beacon. Maybe, sometimes, too quiet. WUOG has suffered its share of silence. In 1981, the station was infamously shut down for a mysterious few weeks. In 2005, FCC noncompliance forced a similar blackout. And today, that prime enemy of radio, dead air, often persists. Disclosure: I was a DJ from 2003–2008. In fact, many former Wuoggers, as we’re known, can still be found bumming around Athens in varying states of sobriety. Other alumni tune in regularly to the station’s web stream. So, when nothingness creeps over the airwaves like so much kudzu, as it has increasingly seemed to recently—these folks notice. “Hey, you guys remember when 90.5 was actually on the air? Man, those were the days, right?â€? read a recent screed on the WUOG Alumni Association Facebook page. “[I]t really does seem like ol’ WUOG has outlived its usefulness to the community it is supposed to be a part of,â€? it continued. “Probably best to pull the plug before it becomes a complete joke.â€? It sparked a dialog. Some suggested WUOG open its doors for “community shifts,â€? a concept instituted in limited format in 2008 to give airtime to folks—like vinyl junkie Kurt Wood and living encyclopedia William Orten “Ortâ€? Carlton—happy to fill the slots between student shifts. Others echoed the stark sentiment of the original poster, calling for the station to save face by shuttering its doors. WUOG has adapted in the face of challenge and change many times before. Of course, it’s different this time. Not only have formats changed, but so has the concept of “radio.â€? Terrestrial broadcast is quickly becoming a thing of the past, replaced by satellites, Spotify and livestreaming. How then does a 26,000-watt, student-run station survive? Martin has an idea. “[Automation] is something that I’ve really kind of spearheaded,â€? he says. “The main thing I want people to understand [is that] it’s not replacing the DJ experience‌ It’s just to fill in those gaps.â€? Indeed, the subject has long been a touchy one. “The beauty of WUOG,â€? wrote one alum, “is that every time a song plays, you know there’s a human being in the booth pressing play or cueing up a record.â€?

Current staffers agree. “I always thought a really cool part of WUOG is that, whenever you tune into the radio, you hear somebody DJ-ing,� says General Manager Sarah Lawrence. “People just like that personal connection.� “Nobody at WUOG wants the station to be completely automated,� says Music Co-Director JJ Posway, who chose to attend UGA largely because it boasted an established radio outlet. Still, he admits, “Summer and winter breaks can be problematic.� But it’s not only those typically lean times that have seen a lack of action; in the middle of fall semester, it has been common to tune in during prime hours and hear only static. Most Wuoggers seem eager to sacrifice an arguably archaic tenet of their station’s philosophy in order to remain on the air 24/7. “We’re pretty close to going full swing with it,� Martin says.� Automated programming will include re-broadcasts of archived material, which he argues will “give [it] new life.� It’s one way WUOG is combating the rising tide. Another, Lawrence says, is providing a training ground for aspiring sports broadcasters, one aspect of radio that is still booming. Despite its ups and downs, the station remains a destination for students seeking an alternative to the standard campus group. “There are a large number of new, incoming students that are interested and passionate about getting involved,� says Music Co-Director Ryan Rudder, adding, “There’s a really strong sense of community [here].� This weekend, to commemorate its 40th anniversary—a true achievement for any organization—the station opens its DJ booth to its harshest critics: its own alumni. In addition to a UGA Special Collections Library exhibit of archival WUOG items and a concert featuring former staffers’ bands, an invitational dinner will be held at the station’s old stomping grounds of Memorial Hall, where R.E.M. manager Bertis Downs will reflect on the station’s impact on the Athens community. Despite debate about how WUOG will move into the future, almost everyone agrees it should fight like hell. “I hope we’re around for at least another 40 years,� Lawrence says. Martin adds, “We still have some work to do.� Gabe Vodicka

THE CALENDAR!

Tennis, Wild Belle 40 Watt Club

Tennis was formed when Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley suddenly found themselves searching for words to define the experience of an eight-month amateur sailing trip the couple took along the East Coast. Instead of television, they watched waves and sea creatures, eventually crafting their sunbeaten debut album, Cape Tennis Dory—a hazy take on the girl-group sound that gave their new band a good buzz. That was last year. (Incidentally, if you like feeling insanely jealous, you can read the blog they kept during that time at whitesatingloves.blogspot.com.) This past February, Tennis released a follow-up, Young and Old, which Moore acknowledges was not inspired by a sailing trip or any other such adventure. “There’s nothing very dramatic [on the record], and I am glad that that’s the case,” says Moore. “I don’t even think, personally, I could handle so many life-altering events in such a short period of time. It actually really felt good and more like hitting our stride to write a record the way normal people would.” Young and Old feels more mature, more experienced and, literally, more grounded. The songs are a little rougher and bumpier, thanks in part to the presence of producer Patrick Carney (The Black Keys). The ocean’s absence makes Young and Old feel a little narrower, but refreshingly, the songs are more present. “I wanted the songs to be meaningful on their own, instead of them referring to some other, more meaningful thing,” says Moore. “With Cape Dory the songs [were] referring to some other very significant thing; they’re more symbolic of something else than… meaningful to us. We wrote [the new songs] for the sake of themselves, and they are meaningful without having to refer to something greater outside of them.” [Sydney Slotkin]

Melvins Lite, Tweak Bird 40 Watt Club Dale Crover has been the drummer for the Melvins since 1984. Many reading this can’t claim to have been breathing for as long, and most will never be committed to a single pursuit or profession— or person—for that amount of time. But while Crover’s dedicaMelvins Lite tion to his prolific and influential experimental metal band is impressive, it isn’t a world record or anything. Flagpole caught up with Crover as he and fellow bandmates Buzz Osborne and Trevor Dunn, touring this fall as Melvins Lite, were, in fact, in hot pursuit of a Guinness world record: The trio is attempting to tour all the 50 United States—and the District of Columbia—in 51 days. The intense, historical jaunt, which started Sept. 5 in Alaska, rolls through Georgia this Thursday night. Ever appealing to our natural curiosity, the Guinness Book is cited as one of the most frequently stolen books of all time. It contains pictures of stuff like the world’s longest fingernails, Siamese twins and gigantic Great Danes. Naturally, it was, and is, a pretty big deal to young boys. As such, we wanted to know if Crover had a copy growing up. “Yes, I did,â€? he admits, adding, “Well, my parents did.â€? When asked how his folks came about their copy, he says, “I think they bought it‌ I’m pretty sure they did. My parents weren’t thieves.â€? Melvins Lite is on the road not only to set a record, but in support of one, Freak Puke, released this past summer. “I suppose that is an important part of this tour after all,â€? laughs Crover. The truth is, all of these great ideas—the tour, the album, recording as a three-piece with a standup bass—were hatched at the same time. We knew what we were gonna do about a yearand-a-half ago‌ It was all part of our master plan.â€? [David Eduardo]

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 10, 2012

reality check Matters Of The Heart And Loins My friend and I met this guy on the same night at the same time. He is a friend of my friend “John,” and as soon as I saw him, I was, like, oh my god. He and I locked eyes, smiled and shook hands politely, and then I had to go because I was at work, but I asked them what they were doing, later and the guy made a big point to tell me where they were going and that I should meet them when I was done with work. My friend “Chrissy,” who works with me, came up to me, like, an hour later and was, like, “Holy cow, did you see John’s friend? He is so totally hot!” And I was, like, I know and I already talked to him and, my god, we totally have to meet up with them after work. So, we did, and this friend, “Dave,” was super nice, and we hung out, and Chrissy talked to him, too, but it was obvious by the end of the night that he and I had totally clicked. We stayed out way too late and drank too much, and at the end of the night he asked me if I would go out with him the next weekend. Now Chrissy is super mad at me, and I don’t think she’s being fair because I technically met him first and, besides, he likes me, and why should I be sorry? She says I always get what I want and it isn’t fair. Am I really supposed to not go out with him because she likes him, too? I don’t see how this is right. Dibs Had she known him first, and for a long time, and had been telling you how much she liked him, and then you met him and dated him, I could see her being mad. But if you both met him at virtually the same time, it isn’t like she has some emotional investment in him, and you are just dating him on a whim. It sounds like maybe she has some issues with you from some other events (or guys) in your collective past? I don’t think you need to say no to this guy, but I do think you should talk to her and clear the air. She is obviously upset about something, and it would make things a lot easier if you talk this out before you go out with him. There is a guy at work whom I have a huge crush on. He has a girlfriend, but I noticed him noticing me the other day, and I couldn’t help being excited. I smiled at him, and he offered me a piece of candy. He has barely ever talked to me before, but we see each other almost every day at work, so it’s not like he doesn’t know who I am. Now he says hi all the time and has started to make small talk. He is a lot older than I am, but not too old to consider dating material. I know it seems mean, but his girlfriend came in last week and she wasn’t

very attractive and she was not being very nice to him. So, even though I would technically be tempting him to cheat, he is obviously not happy anyway, so can I hit on him now? Candy Girl I think you should keep your distance, CG. You have no idea what the circumstances of his relationship are or why his girlfriend was being “mean” to him. Maybe they were fighting. Maybe he was mean to her when you weren’t looking. Maybe he really is unhappy. Whatever the case is, you should not go after a guy who is taken, under any circumstances. If he really is relationship material, you need to let his other relationship dissolve naturally before you try starting one yourself. Otherwise, you’re just inviting drama and a bad end, and what’s the point of that? Besides, why would you even want to date a guy who is a cheater? What makes you think that he wouldn’t just turn around and cheat on you, too? This girl who I am in class with is always picking on me. She laughs when she does it, and she always touches me and says she is sorry afterward, but she makes fun of everything I do. We have been in a few classes together in the last couple years. She always tries to get a seat near me, or waves me over to a seat that she has saved. She and I are not anywhere near the same social circle, and I don’t understand why she bothers. She has a nickname for me, and it drives me crazy, and I have asked her a bunch of times not to call me that, but she won’t stop. I have a really good friend who is a girl, and she says that this girl obviously likes me, but I’m not so sure. What should I do? Should I ask her out? Tell her to fuck off? I guess I kind of like her, even though I think she’s a freak. I don’t know. What do you think? Not having ever seen the two of you together, and not being entirely certain of the situation, I am going to have to defer to your friend on this one. I think this girl likes you, or at least kind of likes you, and she is trying to figure out what you think of her. If you think you might want to date her, you should start by getting to know her a little better. Ask her about herself. What does she want? Where is she going? Who is she and what does she do when she isn’t in class? You will probably figure out what to do based on her answers. At the very least, you will see how much she intends to let you know her.

everyday people Timothy King, Metal Fabricator Timothy King is a metal fabricator for the University of Georgia who’s worked on everything from the chapel bell to farm equipment and he is an active member of Northside Baptist Church. He also loves tailgating with friends he met while working as a parking attendant, which is where I met him on a recent football gameday. Flagpole: Have you been tailgating here all day? Timothy King: I’ll tell you what I’m doing here. I don’t even know if you want to interview me. Now, these people right here [he points at an SUV parked across the street] are from Warner Robins. So, they’ve been coming up here, they’ve been parking at this parking space right here since, I think, ‘89. So, I go and I come up here at 7 [a.m.], I park that vehicle for them and set up this tailgate. Yeah, so then we tailgate all day. Actually, today, I just didn’t really want to go up today, but they have box seats, so we go up every game to the box seats. It’s the Christies’ tailgate, and then everybody else comes, but it’s pretty neat. Melissa Hovanes

FP: Well, I’d love to interview you. TK: [laughs] There’s all kinds of people here from all kinds of‌ That’s the thing is the Christies—anybody who is anybody, when they come up through here, they see the Christies. Yeah ‘cause Dr. Christie, he’s an optometrist, they’ve got like three or four other different businesses, so he’s really an interesting guy. Dudley Christie is his name, and Linda Christie, that’s his wife. But he has a daughter who lives up here. She played golf for UGA. She played on the championship team. So, like I said, they come up here and this is where all the family gets together, so that’s why they love coming here. They can hang out, and all the kids love it, and they get to see all the kids. Their daughter just had a newborn baby. So, it’s really neat. I’ve been doing it for about five years. FP: So, how did you start doing this? TK: Well, I was working for [UGA] Parking Services, and I had this lot right here [he points to the lot next to the Geography building] up to here [where we’re sitting next to the stadium], I had all these parking spots. And [Parking Services] wanted to move people around. They were doing all this shuffling. And I had gotten to know the Christies and all, and they was like, “If you want to stay here, don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of you.â€? So, I started working for them. They are super nice people. I mean, they’re just good people. So, now it’s almost like, when they get the tickets, they call me and say, “We got the tickets. Wanna do it this year?â€? I said, “Sure.â€? And you know I said, “I appreciate you‌ You know, I like your tailgate.â€? And he said, “This right here is just as much your tailgate as it is ours. So, they make you feel at home. I promise you, if they were here right now, they’d say, “Get you something to eat; get you something to drink.â€? I mean, they’re just that kind of people. They’re giving people. FP: So, you just come and set it all up. TK: Yeah, and then I tailgate with them all day long‌ I go to the game, usually. Actually, this is the first game I haven’t been to‌ The thing that gets me is, it’s almost like Parking

Services has almost eliminated the fans. Like there was people who parked right here over by Chemistry—they parked here since the ‘60s—but they told them, starting this year, you can’t park here no more. ‘Cause it’s about money. In that parking lot right there, if you don’t donate at least $100,000, you don’t park in it. Used to be, when I first started [working for Parking Services], you could park over here [on the sidewalk]. They cut that out. Every year, they just cut out more and more and more. There used to be a guy that’d come and set up right here; he was a DJ. No more DJs on campus. A lot of people don’t even tailgate anymore. They think it’s too much. They just stay at the Georgia Center and kind of tailgate up there. Like Rick, over there in the silver one [he points to a silver SUV], they come all the way from Dublin, Georgia. He’s like, “There may come a day when they say you can’t tailgate up here no more.â€? And he’s been coming here since he was a little boy. So, there’s a lot of history here, but it’s almost like they don’t really care about it. You know, what have you done for the university today? Don’t worry about how much money you gave yesterday. What did you give today? It’s sad, but I guess it’s what makes the world go ‘round‌ It’s like, I’ve been with the university 13 years, at the Physical Plant. And we haven’t gotten a raise in like four or five years, and every year, seems like, maybe it’s a couple years, but either the insurance goes up or the parking goes up. Really and truly, right now I actually make less than I did when I started. FP: Because of all the other expenses. You have to buy a parking permit through the university in order to go to work? TK: Yes, right. That is it. Say I drive another one of my vehicles, and I forget my parking pass, I could get a ticket, and that ticket’s $50. I mean, man. It looks like they could just run your tag and say, “OK, he’s a permit person.â€? But really, in all fairness, I love the university. I love working for them. I have a great boss. We call him K.C. but his name’s Kenneth Chester. I mean, I probably have one of the best bosses over there at Facilities Management. And the time you get off and all, granted you want to make as much as possible, I mean that’s human nature, but I enjoy it because I get the time off. FP: So, what do you do? TK: We fabricate. We fabricate ductwork. We fabricate fume hoods. We do gutters. We’ve made stuff for the athletic department, exercise equipment. FP: Really? TK: Yeah, the [UGA Chapel] bell tower, we had a big hand in putting it back up. I mean, it’s weird because we say “fabricate,â€? and it goes. I mean, you wouldn’t believe some of the stuff we’ve made. We do a lot for [the veterinary school] over there. In our shop, we built a cattle thing where they put like bulls and stuff in to work on them‌ That thing cost $12,000. FP: Wow. I didn’t realize that you did that all right there. TK: Well, that’s just one department. You have your plumbers; you have a welding department. You know, a lot of different things over there that people don’t really realize sometimes all that goes on. A lot of times, people just go to school and don’t notice things like that. FP: How long have you lived in Athens? TK: Basically, all my life. I went to Clarke Central, Clarke Middle, West Broad [Elementary]. I’ve seen a lot of changes. I grew up in Stonehenge. It’s out there past the mall. All these stones are out there. And at one time, the nearest red light was Hawthorne and Alps Road. It was just two-lane‌ Even around here, the different buildings that’s been built. Baxter Street used to run down through the university. Then they changed it‌ Coach Yoculan [he says her name under his breath as she walks out of Sanford Stadium]. She used to be the gymnastics coach‌. I mean I love Athens. It’s just where I grew up at. You know, people come and go, but it’s just my home.
