Town & Gown’s current play, August: Osage County, was written by Tracy Letts, who also wrote Bug and Killer Joe—weird vehicles that were later made into movies, as is happening now to August: Osage County. This play is full of tics, too, in the people and in their past associations, but the setting and situation are more conventional: the reunion of a large and complicated family. Letts is an actor—as was his father—as well as a writer—as is his mother. By the time he sat down to write August: Osage County, he was in firm command of his craft. Studying the lines he wrote, one is impressed over and over that he chooses precisely the right word for emphasis and economy. What you get are the insights of a skilled writer with the timing of a good actor. In other words, see it as it was written to be performed: live. This is one hell of a play that delves mercilessly into all the family types you have known at your own gatherings and ramps them up several notches. Why not just wait and see the movie? Well, of course see it, but watching the play is like being there when the Great Wallenda walks across Tallulah Gorge on his tightrope, as opposed to watching him on film, which takes out a lot of the drama.

(l-r) Kelly Doyle-Mace, Bryn Adamson and Emily Myers play the tempestuous Weston sisters. This play opens Friday, Apr. 12, so by the time you’re reading this, showtime is here, and the actors have been working non-stop, trying to get control of this epic production. From the vantage point of a rank newcomer, the task looks impossible to me, but the director and all the other actors have been through it many times before, so I’m trusting that they can pull it off, and it’s great fun being there. Watching them rehearse is like observing a painter working on a canvas: seeing art made right before your eyes, line by line. The New York Times called August: Osage County “a turbocharged tragicomedy,� and that’s a pretty good description. Even though it’s long, it’s fast—and furious and funny. The fact that I am in the play makes me gulp when I say that this is going to be a fabulous theater experience, but, my small contribution aside, this is your chance to see “the first great American play of the century.� Allen Rowell directs, assisted by Adam Shirley and Carina McGeehin. The actors in this rare jewel about a bright and tormented Oklahoma academic family are Bryn Adamson, Mitch Maxey, Isabelle Germain, Emily Myers, Kelly Doyle-Mace, Heather Reed, Skip Hulett, Patrick Hooper, Asia Meana, Derek Adams, Rex Totty and, yes, my wife in reality and onstage: Gay Griggs McCommons. If you go to the theater, you recognize these names. If you don’t go often, you’re in for a whole new experience—but be warned: the language is very strong. You can dress up if you want to, but you don’t have to: attire is Athens-casual. Watching this large and experienced cast mix it up nonstop will make you glad you got a ticket. To get one, see the info below. If you don’t want to plan ahead, just take your chances and show up a little early. I’ll see you there. No, actually, the lights will be in my eyes. Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com For tickets call 706-208-TOWN or go to www.townandgownplayers.org. The play opens this Friday, Apr. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Athens Community Theatre behind the Taylor-Grady House on Prince Ave. Performances are also Saturday, Apr. 13 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Apr. 14 at 2 p.m. The next week, shows are at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Apr. 18 through Saturday, Apr. 20 and at 2 p.m. for the final show on Sunday, Apr. 21.

But People of Hope doesn’t have the money. One option is to seize the land and sell it to pay back the grant, according to McNeely. In the meantime, other affordable housing agencies like AHA and the Athens Land Trust will take a $175,000 hit in next year’s HOME allocation so HED can pay back HUD. The commission approved a new set of rules Apr. 2 giving them more oversight over HOME grants. From now on, the commission will approve contracts and review them after six months, and any reallocations will also require commission approval. “When you receive this money, we want you to use it,� Commissioner Mike Hamby said.

capitol impact The State Helps the Rich Get Richer Our schools are furloughing teachers and can’t provide a 180-day school year for their students. Our elected leaders at the capitol say they just don’t have the money to spend on public education. Georgia’s highways are jam-packed with congestion and crumbling into disrepair. Our elected leaders say there just isn’t enough money to fix them. Georgia has had to leave unfilled the positions of state troopers who patrol the highways. Our elected leaders say they just don’t have enough money to pay for them. Our elected leaders had no trouble, however, finding $800 million in taxpayers’ money to build a stadium for Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. It’s all a matter of how you set your priorities. For many of our elected officials, it’s more important to stroke the ego of a billionaire NFL franchise owner than to fix our roads or give our kids a decent education. Gov. Nathan Deal and the Legislature, working in concert with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and the City Council, made it possible for Blank to get that very generous gift. A series of polls have indicated that voters do not support the idea of using Atlanta’s hotel-motel tax revenues to pay for a stadium that would benefit a private business. With another election coming up in 2014, Deal and legislators faced the prospect of having to take a position on using that tax money for a new stadium. Deal instead had the matter shifted to the Atlanta City Council and the city’s economic development arm, Invest Atlanta. Those entities voted to issue $200 million in construction bonds paid off from the tax revenues. Over a 37-year period, the city is also committed to spend more than $600 million to maintain the stadium. “The city will use ‘only’ $200 million of scarce public money for construction of a facility to benefit the Falcons, up front,” said William Perry of Common Cause Georgia. “But

another $680 million will ultimately go to the stadium for largely the same purposes— improving Arthur Blank’s equity value in the Falcons franchise.” Deals don’t get much sweeter than that. Blank is one of Georgia’s wealthiest citizens with a net worth estimated at $1.6 billion. He could easily form a business syndicate capable of raising the money for a new stadium. Why should he bother? Blank can back his limousine up to the state treasury, open the trunk and say, “Fill her up.” Our state and city leaders are happy to shovel in the tax dollars. This is really a sordid giveaway of public funds in a state that has far more serious problems it should be addressing. At least there were some public servants with the integrity to stand up against this bonanza for a business magnate. Rep. Mike Dudgeon (R-Johns Creek) persistently questioned the wisdom of the tax giveaway, writing in an op-ed column: “It is very difficult to justify to our citizen, who is under enormous economic pressure himself, that there is no money for his kid’s teacher, none to widen the nightmare two-lane road he commutes on, none to fund a drug court to keep his young adult son out of jail for a first offense, but we can help fund a $1 billion stadium which primarily benefits a very lucrative business.” When Invest Atlanta took the final vote to issue the stadium bonds, Julian Bene was the only board member who voted against it. “What do we get from this in terms of jobs?” Bene asked. “My perception is that we’re switching one stadium for another and that we don’t get an additional amenity for the city.” Bene acknowledged that his vote was a “futile gesture, but someone has to do it.” If only there were more people willing to stand up and do it.

UGA Looks to Replace Coal-Fired Plant U

niversity of Georgia administrators hope to say byebye to the last remaining coal-powered steam boiler on campus, but they can’t yet say when that will be. UGA asked engineering firms to submit ideas by Apr. 1 to explore the options. They’ll interview three or four firms this spring, and then one firm will create a final feasibility plan that will evaluate possible replacements—along with pricing—by Oct. 1. “We want enough of a study to give recommendations about what we can do to replace the coal boiler,” says David Spradley, UGA’s assistant director of energy services. “We’d also like to evaluate whether it makes economic sense to generate electricity of our own on campus.” The final decision will come down to economics and reliability, Spradley says. Some northern universities that generate electricity were able to keep their campuses going during Hurricane Sandy, which is an attractive idea. “But we’d never be able to generate all of our own power here,” he adds. “No way. We’re too big.” For now, the focus is on the the coal boiler, which is nearing its 50th birthday and ready to retire. The boiler runs about four months per year, mostly during the winter. Three natural gas boilers, which pollute less than coal, carry the load for most of the year, and UGA officials want a new backup source of energy. “We don’t have a time frame for this, so it could be five to seven years down the road depending on the economy and state budget cuts,” Spradley says. “But the key is that when the time is right and we can advance, we don’t have to take two years to evaluate where we are and what would work best.” This is a step in the right direction, say a group of students who have campaigned against the university’s use of coal for years. “The language used in the proposal certainly sounds like coal won’t be an option, and that’s exactly what we wanted,” says Laura Toulme, an executive board member for Beyond Coal. The group drafted a letter to UGA administrators to thank them for taking the step and to ask officials to make a more public announcement about the bid. “We hope they’ll acknowledge that they don’t want coal and that at some point soon they’ll retire the boiler,” Toulme says. The Beyond Coal campaign will continue on-campus petitioning for their initiatives, especially for student representation in the final decision-making process. “Students frequently

play a role in committee searches for positions, so it’s not an unreasonable request to have direct involvement with what happens on campus,” Toulme says. The students also want to push for a final date to retire the boiler. The group is hosting a movie screening at the Tate Theater on Apr. 15 to discuss coal mining and hold another petition drive with campus climate groups. “It’s important to keep this process accountable,” she says. “It’s time-sensitive, and we don’t want the ball to be dropped on this.” From the university’s perspective, aging equipment creates the opportunity to make an “economically viable and environmentally beneficial” decision,” says Ralph Johnson, associate vice president for facilities management. “Many options out there would be very sustainable, but the scale of the technology hasn’t developed to the point where it can be implemented for our size,” Johnson adds. “We can’t afford to be experimental in what we’re doing. “This is a significant investment in the future of the university,” he says. “What we have in place now has been there for decades, and we envision the next technology will be there for a minimum of 25 to 30 years.”

The Options The university’s central steam plant produces saturated steam for the campus that is used as hot water in dorms and offices and for sterilization, cooking and research purposes. Lab researchers rely on consistent hot water to conduct experiments and to care for animals and plants housed on campus. Because of this, reliability is a main concern, Spradley says. A study released in August by North Carolina State University for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Southeast Clean Energy Application Center looked at UGA’s steam plant and new heat and power scenarios. It identifies several possible replacements, including biomass created from wood left over after timber harvests. It notes that two particular natural gas technologies were “the best financial and environmental, especially in the form of carbon dioxide reductions for campus.” That study provides an “airplane view” of the situation, Spradley says. The new study will be more precise with equipment requirements, energy efficiency and pricing.

Gretchen Elsner, who opposes coal-fired power plants and UGA’s investments in oil and gas stocks, waves at drivers during a climate change rally at the Arch on Jan. 29, the hottest January day on record in Athens.

University planners want the new technology to be efficient when electricity costs are at their highest—during the sweltering summer months in Georgia. For example, by turning steam into chilled water, they can better cool campus buildings on hot days, Spradley says. “Anything you burn will generate carbon dioxide, including natural gas, so if we can be more efficient, we can reduce our carbon footprint,” he says. Students involved with the Beyond Coal campaign say that natural gas isn’t the ideal option, but it’s probably the most realistic. Biomass, which isn’t dense, would require toting truckloads of supplies to the central location on campus to generate enough power. “Natural gas has the negative associations with fracking, so the ideal solution would include solar thermal and other energy efficient upgrades,” Toulme says. “But we realize that would involve the decentralization of the steam plant, which isn’t going to happen.” In addition, solar thermal technologies aren’t usually hot enough to sanitize labs and research areas, she adds. Though some campus buildings use solar panels, such as the one on Jackson Street, the panels only create about 3 percent of the power used in the building, Spradley says. “This is the opportunity for the university to be innovative and cutting edge,” says Sara Black, a junior involved with Beyond Coal and other campus climate initiatives who was recently named a Udall Scholar, a top honor for environmental policy students. “About 20 other universities in the past five years have moved beyond coal and tried new technologies, and we can join them.”

2020 Sustainability Plan Changing over the coal boiler is one part of the university’s plan to reduce emissions by 20 percent by year 2020. The boiler released one ton of the 1.59 tons of pollution produced by UGA in the year prior to Jan. 25, according to Michael Odom, air toxics manager for the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Those figures include 0.893 tons of hydrogen chloride, a highly corrosive gas that contributes to acid rain.

UGA’s Georgia Climate and Society Initiative and the Office of Sustainability are creating a sustainability strategic plan for the campus which is scheduled for completion in November. The plan will outline ways the campus can become more carbon-neutral, such as monitoring energy use in buildings, buying more locally grown food and tracking student and faculty travel. “Purchased electricity makes the largest contribution to UGA’s harmful emissions, so one aspect is to be mindful of the electricity we’re using,” says Kevin Kirsche, director of the Office of Sustainability. “Like our parents say, turn off the lights, shut down your computer and unplug the things you’re not using, such as phone chargers.” The UGA Campus Master Plan already features some sustainability goals, but the new plan will include extensive details. For example, the university’s buildings now use about 13 percent less energy per square foot than they averaged in 2007, but because UGA has grown in that time, the university’s overall energy use is still growing slightly. “This is an opportunity to infuse more fun in our lives,” Kirsche says. “I know I’m much happier when I ride my bike to work rather than drive.”

A coal-fired boiler at UGA’s physical plant is the largest single source of pollution on campus. Officials hope to phase it out in the next few years. UGA’s 2020 Strategic Plan already states, “A priority for the university at large is to design and construct buildings, plaza spaces, hardscapes and other landscapes that embody the latest in environmental advances and to incorporate the increasing social nature of learning today by creating ample spaces for people to interact.” The Student Government Association’s environmental affairs committee, which includes students from the Beyond Coal campaign and other campus groups, wants to hold administrators to the plan. The committee is already promoting renewable energy in the new Terry College of Business, which will begin construction on North Lumpkin Street in upcoming years. In addition, the Real Food UGA group is pushing for the dining halls to redirect 20 percent of its purchasing power to local foods within 250 miles of campus. Students are combing through the $10 million annual budget and categorizing the food products to find organic, local and free-range options. “I think there’s a misconception that students don’t care where their food or steam comes from, so if it’s not broken, then why fix it?” says Black, a Real Food leader. “But students do care, and when we hold petitions on campus, about 90 percent will stop and agree. The dining halls are already great, and I think students would celebrate them if we pushed the bar even more.” This requires teamwork with students, faculty and staff alike on campus, Kirsche says. About 20 people met in early March to discuss ways to reduce the university’s carbon footprint and what to include in the 2020 plan. “Emissions reduction shouldn’t be a politically charged discussion,” Kirsche says. “This is about quality of life, improved health and better environmental quality, but it’s often quickly and unnecessarily political.” Carolyn Crist

Gravy Train Ethics Bill Passes, but Loopholes Remain K

that big of an issue. An Insider Advantage poll last week found that 15 percent of voters approve of the bill, 20 percent disapprove and 65 percent don’t have an opinion. “To the public, this simply is not the burning issue that it is to the media and other interest groups,� Insider Advantage CEO Matt Towery told Morris News Service. “And by the tepid response, I can say that it is not only unlikely, but there is no chance that another ethics bill will be taken up by the legislative leadership next year. It just is too complicated and is not a burning issue with constituents.� Bullock agrees—unless there’s a major scandal like the affair with a lobbyist that felled former House Speaker Glenn Richardson in 2010. “They take an attitude that, ‘We’re done with that; let’s see how it plays out before we bring it up again,’� Bullock said. The debate itself clearly had a chilling effect on lobbyist spending. Lobbyists submitted 8,134 spending reports to the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission as of midMarch—the most recent reports available— down by two-thirds since last year, and had spent $766,578, compared to $1.4 million in 2012 and $1.8 million in 2011. Since the legislature’s in session from January through late March or early April, most gifts are given then. The reduction was partly due to Senate rules passed in January that prohibited senators from accepting gifts of more than $100. “Our rules did have an impact,� said Sen. Frank Ginn (R-Danielsville). Members of the Athens delegation accepted far fewer gifts than in past years. For example, Sen. Bill Cowsert (R-Athens), who racked up $3,195 worth of freebies in 2009, accepted just two gifts this year, one of them a $13.50 tie from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. His share of the cost of a reception hosted by the lobbying group Fiveash-Stanley, who represent bankers, beer wholesalers, AT&T, a natural gas Rep.

elli Persons sees the silver lining in an ethics reform bill hashed out on Mar. 28, the last day of the Georgia General Assembly’s 2013 session. Spurred on by primary ballot questions last July that showed more than 80 percent of voters in both parties supported limiting lobbyists’ largesse, the legislature finally reigned in wining and dining under the Gold Dome. Persons, program manager for the League of Women Voters of Georgia, was part of the Georgia Ethics Reform Alliance, a group that pushed hard for a $100 cap on lobbyists’ gifts to lawmakers. She got at least part of her wish. In a compromise between the state Senate, which passed the $100 cap, and House Speaker David Ralston, who switched from opposing any limit to favoring a total ban, both chambers agreed to a $75 cap. Although the bill includes just three of the 20 points in the alliance’s plan, “it’s a step in the right direction,� Persons said.

grub notes Dawg Food Living Legend: When the news broke that Herschel Walker was going to take over the space most recently home to Chango’s/ Doc Chey’s, you couldn’t help but be a little excited, even if you have no great love for college football or chicken products, the two arenas in which Walker has made his name. Herschel’s Famous 34 Pub & Grill (320 E. Clayton St.) has the feel of an imminent franchise, even down to the phone number, which ends in the two digits the man forever made his own on the field. The room feels different from the way it did under the previous tenant, not least due to a large bar built out from the back wall, but it still dwarfs almost anything you could put in it. Black and white graphics of Walker in action, with statistics and text overlaid, adorn the walls, an innovative approach to making the restaurant feel more dynamic. The menu seems to be trying to be all things to all people, except veggie types, who will have to look a lot harder to find something to eat. Eight pages long, it includes sections for appetizers, soups and salads, sides, sandwiches, omelets, entrees, burgers, nonalcoholic beverages (in case you were wondering, yes, you can get a chai tea) and “little bulldogs.� If you want wings, available in 34 flavors, you’ll have to locate the flip chart on your table, which also includes desserts and drink specials. It’s all a bit overwhelming, and even two visits will barely scratch the surface. What’s good and what’s not is unpredictable.

The wings aren’t particularly impressive, even in a simple “medium� hot iteration. Smallish, not very crisp, and not inexpensive, they arrive with a few matchsticks of celery and carrot. The pork nachos, red and black tortilla chips that come topped with BBQ pork, black beans, “pepper jack cream sauce� rather than actual cheese and a super-oniony salsa, aren’t worth the calories. The Doritos Salad seems like it should be an ingenious variation on a taco salad, but ends up a sad pile of iceberg with a few whole nacho Doritos around the edges and a few more crumbled on top, plus more of the same salsa. On the other hand, the turkey club may not be innovative, but it is well executed and an excellent value. It costs $8, but the sandwich is an enormous double-decker on hearty, well-toasted multigrain bread, plus a giant side of kettle chips with roasted garlic mayo on the side (avoid it if you’re not big on alliums or if you don’t have Altoids handy). The “Dawg� burger comes topped with crabmeat, salsa and that pepper Jack cream sauce, a much better use of the latter two items, and seems overambitious but, in fact, ends up rather nicely put together. The fact that it arrives in a tiny plastic basket, while the sandwich comes on a giant white plate, seems a little bizarre, but the patty has good browned bits around the edges. If you’re feeling brave, “Herschel’s Mama’s Chicken� features “banana cream-dipped French toast� and Crown Royal syrup. The

Herschel’s Famous 34 Pub & Grill restaurant is open for lunch and dinner every day plus late-night kitchen hours, has a full bar, takes credit cards and sells merchandise. It also has a special for every day of the week. Living Legend #2: Glenda Brown has her own name recognition in this town. When she closed her restaurant Peaches, there was much mourning. Thankfully, she’s now cooking at The Camp (2467 Jefferson Rd., in Homewood Hills), and the restaurant is much better for it. Its original emphasis on a healthier version of soul food was admirable, but it’s the rare cook who can make grease-and-salt-free Southern dishes taste as good as the ones that will shorten your life. Brown isn’t out to save you. She just makes damn tasty food. The restaurant is busier than it had been, which

makes its spartan atmosphere less depressing. Just as at Peaches, friendly folks will take your drink order and help you with anything you need. The catfish on Fridays is particularly good: light, crisp, moist on the inside, not greasy. It even bests the fried chicken, which is saying something. The coleslaw that comes as a side is wet and mayonnaisey, plus a little sweet, and it still manages to be tasty. The cafeteria line moves smoothly and swiftly, and neon-colored slices of cake plastic-wrapped on plates in individual portions tempt.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week. • indicates new review 42 (PG-13) The legendary story of Jackie Robinson comes to the big screen. Unknown Chadwick Boseman stars as the color-barrier breaking baseball superstar. Harrison Ford gruffly appears as Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey. The cast is good—Christopher Meloni, Lucas Black, Alan Tudyk and John C. McGinley—and writer-director Brian Helgeland has the potential to be great (see L.A. Confidential and Mystic River, which he wrote). However, Helgeland’s directorial efforts are only so-so (Payback, A Knight’s Tale and The Order). ARGO (R) Ben Affleck’s career revival continues with Argo, earning Best Writing and Best Picture Award from the Academy, as well as a Golden Globe. Revealing the once classified story of how the CIA rescued six American hostages in the midst of the Iranian Revolution, Argo is both an intriguing modern history lesson and a compelling, old-fashioned Hollywood thriller. THE CALL (R) Until a final act that is so predictably out of character for Halle Berry’s heroine, The Call knows exactly what it is; a pulpy genre thriller; and excels at its sole task of generating as much entertainment as possible via suspense. THE CROODS (PG) Despite its underwhelming trailers, The Croods stands out as one of the best non-Pixar animated family films released in the last few years. A family of cavemen— dad Grug (v. Nicolas Cage), mom Ugga (v. Catherine Keener), teen daughter Eep (v. Emma Stone), dumb son Thunk (v. Clarke Duke), feral baby Sandy and grandma (v. Cloris Leachman)—are forced on a cross-country road trip after their cave is destroyed by the impending “end of the world.” DJANGO UNCHAINED (R) Not many auteurs can take an academic cinematic exercise and turn it into one of the year’s most entertaining spectacles like Quentin Tarantino can in this Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay. Slave Django (Jamie Foxx) is freed by dentist-turned-bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz, the single greatest gift QT has given American movie audiences). Together the duo hunts bad guys and seeks Django’s wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), who belongs to plantation owner Calvin Candie (Golden Globe nominee Leonardo DiCaprio). For a critically

acclaimed award nominee, Django Unchained is an ultraviolent blast. ESPAÑA EN CORTO: SPANISH SHORT FILM FESTIVAL (NR) The first annual España En Corto, a film festival started by UGA students, features more than a handful of award winning Spanish shorts from up and coming filmmakers. The two night festival, Apr. 9 & 10, will feature 5 to 6 shorts a night. Each night will include introductions and discussions led by Dr. Richard Neupert of the University of Georgia’s Film Studies Program and Catherine Simpson from the Department of Romance Languages at UGA. • EVIL DEAD (R) The remake of Sam Raimi’s cult classic is more important for what it represents—an R-rated gorefest released into mainstream multiplexes—than what it is: an above average horror movie. Picking up some time A.A. (After Ash; see Ash’s car rusting away behind the cabin), 2013’s Evil Dead puts five new young people (including Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez and Lou Taylor Pucci) through the horrific, maddening, limb-threatening paces. When will young people learn not to read from a book bound in human skin?. G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (PG-13) G.I. Joe: Retaliation is everything that G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was not. The second Joe movie is also the movie for which my inner child has been waiting since 1987. Mostly ignoring Stephen Sommers’ 2009 misfire, this franchise reboot introduces three new lead Joes: Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and my childhood favorite, Flint (D.J. Cotrona). Featured Cobra players— Zartan, who appears as the President (Jonathan Pryce) for almost the entire movie, Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) and Firefly (Ray Stevenson)—plot to break Cobra Commander from a super-secret prison. HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS (R) Wondering how Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters made it to theaters is a far more interesting way to spend the action fairy tale’s sub90-minute runtime. The fabled origin of Hansel and Gretel is well-known. Two kids are left alone in the forest and stumble upon a witch’s candy house; the kids kill the witch. Dead Snow’s Tommy Wirkola imagines what happens next, as Hansel and Gretel (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton)

grow up to be traveling hunters of deadly witches. THE HOST (PG-13) What Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels did to horror, she does to science fiction in The Host. (Twilight was horror without the horror; The Host is science fiction without those pesky tropes particular to science fiction.) Alien invaders have conquered Earth. Most of humanity has had their bodies taken over by an extraterrestrial tenant.When the invaders implant a soul named Wanderer into the body of Melanie Styder (Saoirse Ronan), Melanie fights back, eventually convincing/leading Wanderer to Melanie’s human family and friends, a group of desert-living rebels led by William Hurt. Once there, Wanda, as the humans call her, falls for one boy, while Melanie continues to love Jared (Max Irons). You knew Meyer would work her love triangle (or in this case, love rectangle?) into the plot somewhere. • JURASSIC PARK 3D (PG-13) Some movies are made to be watched dozens upon hundreds of times at home on TV; Jurassic Park is not one

of one of the year’s most moving, most artistic films of the year. MAMA (PG-13) In Mama, produced by Guillermo del Toro and based on a short expanded by writer-director Andrés Muschietti, two young girls are found in a cabin, where they have lived alone for five years. Unfortunately, when Annabel and Lucas (Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain and Nicolaj Coster-Waldau) get Victoria and Lily home, they discover the two girls were not alone in the woods, and they’ve brought their rather angry “Mama” with them. The buildup is slow and foreboding, but the final act asks far too much of its CGI creature, whose overly digital appearance elicits more giggles than screams. OBLIVION (PG-13) Tom Cruise’s latest movie is a pre-summer, sci-fi, potential blockbuster. After an alien invasion devastated the Earth, few people remain to mine the last planet’s remaining resources. One of the last people on the planet, Jack Harper (Cruise), discovers everything might not be as it seems after finding a

But Billy’s parents let him eat Monsanto products and he seems fine! of those movies. It deserves, nay, requires being seen in a theater, on a big screen, accompanied by booming theatrical sound. One thing JP does not require is 3D; a 2D theatrical screening of Steven Spielberg’s last classic blockbuster will suffice. This 20-year-old, effects-laden, dino-disaster pic, based on Michael Crichton’s giddy sci-fi adventure, has aged much better than your last home viewing experience has you remembering it. The first moment Drs. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and Ian Malcolm (the always entertaining Jeff Goldblum) see a dinosaur can still thrill, even after the intervening years and improved effects. (A hefty chunk of that credit goes to John Williams’ score, which stands alongside his greatest works.) If you’ve got a kid or a younger sibling that has never seen Jurassic Park, take them on a visit to John Hammond’s magically dangerous kingdom, courtesy of the wonderful cinematic imagination of Steven Spielberg. Or see it on your own and relive the memories of that glorious summer afternoon in 1993 when dinosaurs again ruled the Earth. LIFE OF PI (PG) The imaginatively conceived and beautifully told work of art created by Brokeback Mountain Oscar winner Lee, who certainly deserved the award he received this year for Best Director, reminded me of the many, small joys that add up to make the life of Pi. Do not let the underwhelming previews deprive you

22-year-old woman and a 102-year-old insurgency leader, Malcolm Beech (Morgan Freeman). Tron: Legacy’s Joseph Kosinski directs this sci-fi actioner that kind of reminds me of the videogame, Mass Effect. With Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Jamie Lannister and Melissa Leo. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (R) Olympus Has Fallen feels like a relic from the bygone era of the 1980s, where audiences were satisfied by old-fashioned, bloody, action movies wherein stone-faced heroes faced off against despicable bad guys without obfuscating their violent exploits with frenetic camerawork. Too bad director Antoine Fuqua’s latest flick isn’t the new Die Hard, as this Gerard Butlersaves-the-president actioner easily bests John McClane’s latest misfire. ON THE ROAD (R) Has it really been almost 10 years since Walter Salles’ wonderful Che Guevara biopic, The Motorcycle Diaries? Salles, who also directed Central Station, brings Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel to the big screen, and sadly, most of the buzz revolves around Twilight’s Kristen Stewart’s nude scene. Everyone should be more excited to see Sal Paradise (Sam Riley, Control’s Ian Curtis), Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) and Marylou (Stewart) cross the country and meet a cast of characters played by Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen, Steve Buscemi, Kirsten Dunst, Elisabeth Moss, Terrence Howard and more. (Ciné)

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG) First and foremost, Sam Raimi’s The Wizard of Oz prequel is no Wizard; it’s not even Return to Oz, the very dark, very underrated 1985 sequel. Disney’s latest family blockbuster reveals the wizard’s own cyclonic entry to Oz. Carnival magician and con man Oscar Diggs (James Franco, whose performance is nothing if not inconsistent) meets three witches—Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams)—who believe him to be the great wizard whose appearance in Oz was prophesied. In the void left by the recently deceased king, Oscar must determine which witches are wicked and which are good. QUARTET (PG-13) In his directorial debut, Dustin Hoffman fashions a delightful trifle filled with deliciously British performances from Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins, Michael Gambon and more. At Beecham House, a home for retired musicians, plans are afoot for a gala to celebrate Verdi’s birthday. Drama arrives in the form of an aging diva, Jean Horton, who is also the exwife of another resident (Courtenay). Smith is her usually grand self (and as her actual age, not older, for once!). It’s wonderful to see Courtenay and Collins as featured players. Renowned scene stealer Connolly is up to his old tricks as aged horndog Wilf. Hoffman unfussily directs Oscar winner Ronald Harwood’s play with an actor’s generosity for his actors. Anyone who enjoyed their stay at The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel should also enjoy the performances of Quartet. (Ciné) l SCARY MOVIE V (NR) Ugh. Fifth time does not look like the charm; the trailer for Scary Movie V made this year’s earlier release, A Haunted House, look like Caddyshack. A couple (Simon Rex and Ashley Tisdale) with a newborn use home surveillance and paranormal experts (including Katt Williams and Leo DiCaprio lookalike Ben Cornish) to suss out the terrifying happenings in their home. Get ready for topical celebrity cameos from Charlie Sheen, Lindsey Lohan, Mike Tyson and more. SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (R) David O. Russell’s dram-rom-com and multiple Academy Award nominee does everything but disappoint. Pat (Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper) has just been released from a state mental hospital after a violent incident involving his estranged wife and another man. Maybe too soon after coming home, Pat meets Tiffany (Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Jennifer Lawrence), who lost it after the death of her husband. Instead of exacerbating each other’s unhealthy flaws, the relationship between these two cracked souls heals both. (Ciné) SMART HOUSE (NR) 1999. This Disney Channel Original Movie should fill the same nostalgia void for which the channel’s upcoming “Girl Meets World” is aiming. (I, for one, am a huge “Boy Meets World” fan and cannot wait.) Ben Cooper (Ryan Merriman) wins a computerized home manned by a cyborg maid named PAT (Katey Sagal). When Ben’s widowed dad (Kevin Kilner) shows interest in the house’s creator, Ben monkeys with PAT’s programming. He just doesn’t get the results he expected. This telepic is

directed by none other than “Reading Rainbow”’s Levar “Geordi La Forge” Burton. SPRING BREAKERS (R) Harmony Korine is a challenging filmmaker. His first script, Kids, became Larry Clarke’s latest cinematic controversy in 1995; then Korine started directing his own critically divisive films like Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy. His newest film has met with, again, divided critical acclaim and bigger box office glory thanks to the headline grabbing casting of Disney teen queens Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens as half of this bikini-clad criminal quartet. Whether or not Korine has anything important to say about this hedonistic rite of passage, what he does say is wickedly stylized and superiorly captivating. TO THE WONDER (R) Terence Malick’s already back! A director notorious for the long waits between his artistically acclaimed, not necessarily popular films returns with a new film directly on the heels of 2011’s Tree of Life. Gorgeous Mont Saint-Michel plays a central role in this romantic drama about Marina (Olga Kurylenko) and Neil (Ben Affleck). After returning to Oklahoma from France, problems arise as Marina befriends another exile, a priest (Javier Bardem), and Neil reconnects with an old friend (Rachel McAdams). TYLER PERRY’S TEMPTATION (PG-13) Is it possible for a filmmaker to “jump the shark?” If so, Tyler Perry’s Temptation might be that point for Atlanta’s multi-hyphenate filmmaker. He cast Kim Kardashian, for goodness’ sake. And wait for Brandy’s climactic reveal. It’s the sort of melodramatic gem that could turn this dreck into popular camp were it less dull. A marriage counselor, Judith (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), who feels neglected by her nice guy, pharmacist husband, Brice (Lance Gross), waltzes off with a handsome, ripped billionaire, Harley (Robbie Jones), after he offers her the good life of shopping, drugs, sex, etc. By the time Judith’s religious mother (Ella Joyce) wanders in to preach at her daughter (and the audience), it’s too late. WARM BODIES (PG-13) Having witnessed many a zombie apocalypse, I can say with complete assuredness that Warm Bodies is not your usual end of the world via the flesh-eating living dead flick. Blessed (or cursed) with a rather rich inner life, R (Nicholas Hoult, X-Men: First Class) still munches brains but he’s conflicted about it, especially after meeting Julie (Teresa Palmer, Take Me Tonight). She kickstarts his heart, starting a chain reaction amongst all the corpses (the survivors’ term for zombies), except for the too far gone Boneys. WRECK-IT RALPH (PG) In Disney’s latest, Wreck-It Ralph (v. John C. Reilly), the bad guy from popular arcade game Fix-It Felix Jr., decides he wants to be a good guy. Leaving the safety of his own regenerating world, Ralph enters a Halo-ish first-person shooter named Hero’s Duty in search of a medal. Too bad Ralph is better at wrecking things than fixing them. ZERO DARK THIRTY (R) Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow and her Oscar winning collaborator, screenwriter Mark Boal, follow up The Hurt Locker with this controversial, excellently crafted military thriller documenting the decade-long search for Osama bin Laden. Despite everyone (I hope) in the audience knowing how the story ends, Bigelow and Boal ratchet up the tension, as near misses and further attacks make the search that much more desperate. The film ends with its well-earned climax, SEAL Team Six’s daring nighttime raid that thrills and also chills with verisimilitude. Drew Wheeler

All Aboard the Night Train

A Historic Concert, Decades in the Making To preview the appearance between the hedges of country stars Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett and Jake Owen, we’ve broken down our reportage into three constituent parts: the arena, the logistics and the artists.

The Arena The news seemed to drop out of thin air when country music star Jason Aldean, introduced by UGA head football coach Mark Richt at a surprise performance for a pep rally audience at Legion Field last fall, announced he’d be bringing his Night Train Tour to the university’s Sanford Stadium in the spring. But the road to the historic concert actually began 40 years ago. In November 1973, The Red & Black published a series of investigative reports into the use of university facilities, the restrictions thereof and the possibility of opening them to alternate uses. The four-part story was a forceful, yet reasoned appeal to the UGA Athletic Association (UGAAA) to allow students to organize a live concert in Sanford. Then-athletic director Joel Eaves was staunchly opposed. His reasons ranged from the practical (there were not yet any lights installed at the stadium; football was played during the day) to the graspingly ludicrous (broken bottles, vandalism, etc., things all in a day’s work for a typical football crowd). University president Fred Davison was more genteel and infinitely more politic when presented with the idea; he is quoted as saying that there was no specific university policy against such use but simply that “it had never come up before.” The major sticking point for proponents was the notion that the university owned Sanford, so everyone should be able to use it. Though that’s technically true, the UGAAA has handled all fundraising since the stadium’s inception, including personally guaranteeing bank loans used to finance its initial construction in 1929, and has funded each of its expansion projects.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ APRIL 10, 2013

The issue lay dormant for over a decade, until the fall of 1985, when Atlanta promoter Peter Conlon attempted to produce a Bruce Springsteen show in the facility and was turned down flat by the UGAAA. Other attempts followed. In the summer of 1988, athletic director Vince Dooley, university president Charles Knapp and student government association president Howie Manis hammered out an agreement under which a Sanford concert would be held the following year. But the plan again fell through when no acts of appropriate size could commit to the sliver of time—the month of May—made available for the event. In the fall of 1989, Dooley again gave his blessing for a Sanford concert, but by this time support from The Red & Black—which had initiated this very negotiation years before— had waned. The plan for a spring 1990 concert was called “dubious” in its pages. Indeed, the show never happened, even after the student governement association joined forces with the appropriate programming body, University Union. These events, as proposed two decades ago, were outlined from the start with strict limitations. Tickets would be limited to 30,000; no one would be seated on the field. Time and again, the idea was stricken from the to-do list, and proposed performances by R.E.M. (another effort of Conlon’s), Cheap Trick, Jimmy Buffett and even comedian Joe Piscopo never materialized. So, why now, exactly, are four mega-artists headed into Sanford to perform for a sold-out crowd? The answer lies in a changing of the guard and a little bit of luck. UGA associate athletic director Josh Brooks tells Flagpole, “[Athletic Director] Greg McGarity is big about taking chances and doing things for the right reasons. Being an Athenian, he gets it. He knows what it means [economically] for the town to have another major event. [Also], we [the current Athletic Association] wanted to be the first ones to use it.” Of the stadium, echoing a sentiment proponents have used for decades, Brooks adds, “It sits empty most of the year.”

The Logistics All seating for Saturday’s show is reserved, and the field will be covered with the same Terraplas-type material used during commencement ceremonies. Brooks implores attendees to figure out their parking situation as soon as possible. Some cashonly, first-come/first-served paid parking is available at UGA, and concertgoers, especially out-of-towners, should familiarize themselves as soon as possible with these options (see parking.uga.edu/Aldean-Concert-Info.aspx). For many out-of-town attendees, it’ll be their first time inside Sanford Stadium and maybe their first time in Athens, Brooks says. UGA sent parking information to ticket-buyers in hopes of avoiding issues common on football gamedays with fans parking in residential neighborhoods, according to Director of Community Relations Pat Allen. Fewer spaces on campus will be available than for a football game—10,700 versus 14,000—because some will be reserved for students and other Saturday events. Three thousand parking passes have been sold, but most people will pay as they enter a lot, George Stafford, senior assistant to UGA Vice President for Finance and Administration Tim Burgess, said last month. Athens Downtown Development Authority Parking Director Chuck Horton expects downtown decks and even the usually empty eastside park-and-ride lot to fill up quickly. Although ticket sales were contractually capped at 66,000, both the UGA and Athens-Clarke County police departments anticipate an activity level to which they’re long accustomed. It’s “controlled chaos,” says Horton, who worked Widespread Panic’s infamous 1998 “Panic in the Streets” concert downtown as well as numerous Legion Field shows when he was UGA police chief. “We’re treating this like we would a football game,” says UGA police major Eric Gattiker. “Same venue with a large number of people, so there’s a lot of similar characteristics. Post-

event traffic will be set up similarly, and we’re going to make sure the Athens community is aware of that situation.” Hilda Sorrow, public information assistant for ACC Police, concurs. “Basically, we’re treating it like that, too. Just getting people in and out.” Anticipating a decent amount of nonattending partiers, Sorrow says, “We’re used to large crowds. But… watch out for police officers directing traffic and watch for pedestrians, too. Some [people] will probably have consumed a little bit of alcohol and will be walking around. So, everyone [should] just slow down and have patience. Everyone [should] enjoy themselves.” Tens of thousands of concert-goers will filter downtown after the concert ends around 11 p.m. Unlike a football game, they’re all but guaranteed to be in a good mood. “There’s no chance of us losing,” Brooks jokes.

The Artists For many, concert headliner Jason Aldean needs no introduction. The Macon native has released five albums since 2005 that have sold over a million copies each. His artistic ties to the Athens area are multiple. He has played our town several times over the years and collaborated with locals Colt Ford and Brantley Gilbert. (Ford recorded the original version of Aldean’s smash “My Kinda Party,” which Gilbert wrote.) Before any regular Flagpole readers get their teeth in a gnash over what constitutes “real” country, let’s dismiss a few arguments. Nope, this probably isn’t your father’s or grandfather’s country—though, it might be. It surely isn’t your greatgrandfather’s country. Indeed, all the artists on the Night Train bill incorporate, to varying degrees of intensity and success, country, pop, hip-hop, rock and roll and folk. In the country world, there have been objections to this kind of musical cross-breeding for years (full drum kits weren’t allowed on the Grand Ole Opry stage until 1974), but only the most head-in-the-sand old-timer wouldn’t concede that the music of Aldean and company is appropriately labeled. Even so, there is perhaps more commonality between today’s brand of country and another hyper-modern genre, hip-hop. These artists write in excruciatingly personal terms, they value the role of storyteller, and they tend not to disdain popularity or success. Aldean exhibits these qualities in abundance. Survey the lyrics of his albums and you’ll find songs filled with heartache (“I Don’t Do Lonely”), compassion (“Black Tears”), humanistic patriotism (“Fly Over States”), longing (“Not Every Man Lives”) and a bit of good ol’ boy rowdiness. Mostly, they read like diary entries chosen carefully for revelation. “We’ve never had a concert at Sanford Stadium, and we may never have one again,” football coach Richt told the pep rally crowd gathered on Legion Field. The significance of the venue and the size of the event aren’t lost on opener Thomas Rhett, the son of songwriter Rhett Akins and an Aldean co-writer. “It’s surreal,” he says. “To be a part of the first show ever held there is such an honor, and to be playing a sold-out show with musicians I respect so much makes it even better.” Rhett will play an after-party show at the Georgia Theatre the same night. He tells Flagpole, “Both shows will be a fun time. My set at Sanford Stadium is only about 20 minutes, but it’s an energy-packed set. The Georgia Theatre show will be more intimate… I’ll have a longer set, so fans will get to hear some new songs.” Aldean, Rhett and the Academy of Country Music’s 2012 Male Artist of the Year Luke Bryan are Georgia natives, a fact that was especially attractive to the folks at UGAAA. During the process of collaborating with promoter Conlon for this concert, Brooks says, “We threw out a bunch of names. [Associate equipment manager] Kevin Purvis mentioned Aldean, and we researched it, and the fact that [they] are Georgia boys… it just made sense.” (Jake Owen, ACM’s 2012 Breakthrough Artist of the Year, hails from Florida, but that’s probably not his fault.) Sure, those in Athens but not at the show will have to endure crowds, heavy traffic, tailgating—all the earmarks of a typically jam-packed game day. But for those 66,000 in attendance? Says Rhett, “Get ready for a freakin’ awesome time.”

Twin Tigers: Death Wish

Old Flame HHHHH Twin Tigers seems to be Athens’ answer to the brooding West Coast gothic shoegaze-pop of Zola Jesus and The Soft Moon. With an air of arching melodies soaring through a blackened sky, the quartet returns with Death Wish, Twin Tigers’ second LP, which continues the dark terrain presented on the band’s Curious Faces Violet Future EP and 2010’s fantastic full-length Gray Waves. With opener “Racecar,” the album wastes no time diving into punchy post-punk and noisy riffs. Matthew Rain’s vocals ring with sullen angst like Robert Smith in the darkest course of The Cure’s Trilogy phase. Echo-laden howls mesh with fluid bass and scratchy guitars, forming a wall of sound perfect for dancing. The track soon dissolves into “Wildest Dreams,” one of the prettier songs here. It resembles Interpol’s gamechanging Turn on the Bright Lights: icy piano keys rain down chiming sheet notes as a swirling line of reverberating guitar flows along at a steady pace. “Sources” is a dirty anthem in the vein of The War on Drugs’ raucous psych-rompers, featuring a quick and steady beat and a howling feedback melody. The brief semichorus resembles The Arcade Fire without the grandeur or theatrics. The band unfurls a spacious atmosphere with “Opana,” a mid-tempo tune that marries Depeche Mode’s gothic stadium poprock with chugging blackout fuzz. The LP shows that Twin Tigers shows no sign of slowing, a unique band in a sea of ho-hum soundalikes. [Bobby Power]

ATHENS’ INTIMATE LIVE MUSIC VENUE

Junker: Somewhere in These Transmissions

Independent Release HHHHH On the first proper album from local band Junker, the songs seem to exhale from exhausted lungs. Previous recordings have seen the band in a rain-blind fury of desperation, but Somewhere in These Transmissions deals more with the tragedy of the known and existential terror. To wit, songwriter Stephen Brooks delivers a one-two punch on “We’ll See What You Can’t See” and “Me and Mr. Kurtz.” On the former, he declares, “Sometimes I can’t believe in anything at all”; on the latter, he repeatedly revisits the line, “Dying on my own.” Junker’s signature sound is fairly simple: strummed guitar, with the leads handled deftly by Zach Wright’s pedal steel. The songs build slowly, with most ending up around seven-minutes long. The first sign of a plugged-in guitar occurs on the third track, “Esta’s Song,” which, perhaps unconsciously, continues on the same theme (“esta” being Spanish for “is”). The album closes with “Austin to Albuquerque,” and the lyric, “It never feels the same as it did the night before,” which gives lie to the symbolic hope of the track’s title, making clear that for all the bright eyes and phony manhood ensconced inside the myths of America’s westward movement, there remains a curious emptiness to it all. I’m reluctant to place the “Americana” tag on Junker, but if we can stretch the term to include the caveats above, then maybe it all fits hand in glove. [Gordon Lamb]

Chris Ezelle: Monticello

River Bottom HHHHH “Instead of ashes/ We are made of stars/ We’re fireflies/ In the Mason jars,” sings Chris Ezelle on “Birdcage,” the slow-rolling second tune on his new LP, Monticello. The local singer-songwriter fuses Southern blues wandering with avant-folk experimentation, and the result is singular. Every windswept word Ezelle utters seems to come from some half-materialized, dreamlike place; it doesn’t call to mind other music so much as a certain metaphysical-yet-humanist brand of cinema (Terrance Malick might spin Monticello on repeat). Ezelle’s music is at once ethereal and corporeal, existing in that space where heavenly bodies meet human ones. Sometimes, his love of repetition creates a static atmosphere; “A Storm Brewing” is a nice idea that doesn’t quite pan out. “The Loveless Cafe,” a weirdly beautiful tune, features the album’s most stream-of-consciousness lyricism: Ezelle gruffly recounting times spent shooting television sets with Elvis (“’cause nothing’s ever on”) and such; his imagery here is vivid, visceral, alive. Some of the best moments on the album are nearly imperceptible—the brief tape-reverse that opens “Black Cat Bones”; the unexpectedly bluesy walkdown that closes “As Far as the Gas Will Go.” “It’s always raining/ Every time that I go/ To Monticello,” Ezelle observes on the title track. These small happenings form the base of a record that lives in and for the truths that most of us miss, the stuff that goes on all around us, even if we don’t really notice. [Gabe Vodicka]

threats & promises Music News And Gossip The Moment, You Want It: The punks in Burns Like Fire will perform as part of the annual 500 Songs for Kids benefit at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta. The group plays Friday, Apr. 19, the first night of the two-night event. The theme is “The 50 Greatest Soundtrack Songs,â€? which means this is probably your only chance to see Burns Like Fire play Eminem’s “Lose Yourselfâ€? from 8 Mile. Songs for Kids raises funds for sick and hospitalized children and promotes healing through several different facets of musical interaction. All the groups on the bill are raising funds on their own, too, and if you’ve got a few bucks to help out, see songsforkidsfoundation.org/burnslikefire. Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?: The irrepressibly creative New Sound of Numbers has launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to press its new album, Invisible Magnetic, on translucent blue vinyl. The goal is to manufacture 500 copies of the record, and the total dollar amount sought is $2,500. Head toward facebook.com/ thenewsoundofnumbers for details. You can hear the title track from Invisible Magnetic at thenewsoundofnumbers. bandcamp.com, and while you’re there, go ahead and check out the band’s 2006 debut, Liberty Seeds. Groovy Times: Progenitor of Athens sideburn envy The Late B.P. Helium (of Montreal) will perform two relatively rare shows this month with his Afrobeat/ Space Trucks Krautrock group Space Trucks. The first happens Wednesday, Apr. 10 at The World Famous, where the Trucks share the bill with Atlanta’s soft-shoe TropicĂĄlia muse Adron. You can catch Space Trucks again Saturday, Apr. 20 at Flicker Theatre & Bar when they hit the stage along with Grape Soda, LeSac and Black Moon.

Alongside tracks from Patterson Hood, Don Chambers and Lera Lynn, you’ll hear tunes from buzzworthy groups like Brothers, k i d s, Easter Island and Shonna Tucker & Eye Candy. Others on the CD, which comes out June 18 and features artwork by David Hale, include The Darnell Boys, MrJordanMrTonks, King of Prussia, High Strung String Band, The Hobohemians, The Warm Fuzzies, The Welfare Liners, Dangfly! and Like Totally!. That’s right: two bands whose names end with exclamation points. Fun! [Gabe Vodicka] Hot Night in Dixie: Athens’ own self-described Jewish cowboy, Adam Klein, will release his new album with his band The Wild Fires on Friday, Apr. 12 at the Georgia Theatre. The full-band album, titled Sky Blue DeVille, is a new step for Klein, and this lineup (featuring

Keepin’ On: The never-pausing songwriter Caroline Aiken will bring her band back to the Melting Point on Thursday, Apr. 11 to perform songs from her 2010 release, Welcome Home, and selections from an upcoming album. This news, in and of itself, might not turn your head. People play shows all the time. But dig her band! She’ll be joined by legendary Motown keyboardist Ike Stubblefield, Michael C. Steele (Randall Bramblett), Eddie Glikin (Phil & The Blanks), Matt Joiner, Paul Scales and Michelle Castleberry. It starts at 8 p.m., and kids under 12 are free. For more info, see carolineaiken.com. Well, Finally: After more than three years of work, Incendiaries is finally releasing its debut album. The fully rockin’ crew has titled it Give Me a Reason, and it will celebrate this long-gestated affair with a release show at Little Kings Shuffle Club on Saturday, Apr. 13. The group will be joined by rap heroes Mad Axes and a temporarily reunited Maximum Busy Muscle. Copies of the album will go for five bucks a throw, so take a Lincoln with ya. See www.facebook.com/Incendiaries. Wait No More: The lineup for the 2013 AthFest Compilation CD has been revealed.

bassist Steve Abercrombie, guitarist Crash Cason and drummer Bronson Tew) already has a fair amount of touring under its belt. The album is to be released on both vinyl and CD, but you can stream it all over at adamklein. bandcamp.com. As usual, Klein employed a host of special guests for the recording, including the aforementioned Ike Stubblefield as well as Randall Bramblett and David Blackmon. When the group began its session at Full Moon Studio, it had only planned on a 7-inch single, but as things progressed, it fleshed out into a full-length. Reportedly, Klein has another couple of albums worth of material already written, too. Check out adamklein.com and cowboyangelmusic.com. This Ballot Weighs a Ton: Voting in the 2013 Athens Hip-Hop Awards is underway at chocolatecitylive.com. This inaugural event is presented by UGA (a.k.a. United Group of Artists) Live, and the awards ceremony happens Sunday, Apr. 28 at the Georgia Center’s Mahler Hall (1197 S. Lumpkin St.). The awards show will feature a performance by Low Down and Duddy, whom I’ve not seen in easily 14 years, and invited guests include Montu Miller, Tip Clarke, Cassie Chantel, Isaiah Stephens, BadGirlzClub GA, Keo, Swank, Black Nerd, Tony B and more. It’ll be hosted by M$ Raw, Major Bigg, Kim Teasley, Breezy Goings and Buddah. Tickets for the event are $10 in advance for regular admission, but VIP and other categories are more.

Matters Of The Heart And Loins Short version: My husband gets on my nerves. Longer version: I love him to death. I have been with him nearly a decade, and even though I’m mad at him a lot, I always find myself calling him when we’re apart‌ BUT... I just feel like he isn’t pulling his weight, and he expects me to pick up all the slack. He puts his own hobbies before housework‌ He doesn’t clean up after himself‌ He spends his money on his hobbies and such instead of his part of the bills. We split our bills down the middle, and it seems to work better than when we shared an account and he would spend all our money. I will say he pays me his half, but it takes FOREVER‌ He ends up paying one month’s bills all off around the first or second week of the NEXT month, and I’m the one who has to cover his half until he pays. I wouldn’t be so upset about it if I didn’t constantly see him blow his money on beer and his other hobbies and stuff; it makes me feel used. Hell, the end of last year he was only working 20 hours a week and didn’t want to get more hours, so I had to take on TWO fulltime jobs, working over 100 hours a week, just to pick up all the extra slack, and still had to do my half of the chores. He also claims that the house is clean enough “for his standardsâ€? and that it’s my fault that I’m upset, and I need to “relax.â€? I was raised that dishes were done each night and laundry didn’t pile up on the bed days at a time. He doesn’t agree, and brings up the fact that our other friends’ houses are much messier than ours. Though that is true, I don’t want to lower my standards. Seriously, is doing about 15–30 minutes of chores a day too much to ask? I guess what I’m asking is: Am I really a control freak that is dooming our marriage with unreal expectations? If not, is there any way to make him see how important it is to pay bills on time and clean the house? I’m at my wit’s end, and whenever he is in my presence, I resent him and have to hold back from knocking him over the head with a blunt object‌ Tidy, Controlling, Money-Managing Wife Of course, you miss him when you’re away. When you’re somewhere else, you get to deal with his voice and his personality, without all of his shit habits and selfish behavior. So, you’ve been putting up with this for almost 10 years, and yet you are writing to me about whether or not you are “doomingâ€? your marriage? Wow. The thing is, no matter how much you complain, you still do whatever needs to be done to get the bills paid and the chores done, and he still does whatever he wants. If there are no consequences for him, then he has no incentive to change. Y’all need to have a serious “come to Jesusâ€? about this straightaway. Tell him you really need him to change or you are going to leave. Now, I’m not suggesting that he should do a complete 180, but meeting somewhere in the middle is a good start. Maybe he can pay all of his bills by a certain day of each month? Or hand over a portion of each paycheck to you before he spends money and beer and hobbies? And stay employed full-time? Come to an agreement about the housework. You

shouldn’t have to do it all, but neither should he have to do dishes immediately after dinner because that’s how your parents did it. Compromise is where it’s at. I met a person last year. At first, things seemed good, with amazing words exchanged and a connection. Embarrassingly, I started to believe I loved them. We also live many hours apart. I didn’t feel it was a problem and they seemed not to, either. I liked having my space. But then something changed, and they started acting cold, almost mean towards me. They were unwilling to explain what caused this, while still encouraging me to continue on as I have: expressing my affection for them, setting aside time for them, even though it only resulted in them “forgetting� or “being too busy� and so on. I was rather sick for a few weeks, and they expressed concern, but when I explained I was still sick, they just disappeared without offering any compassion, just stating they became busy with other things. I then came to find that they had begun a relationship with a person who lives in their direct area. But they chose to not say anything to me about this and continued to say that I was not giving them time to explain what created this change. I’m between really heartbroken and angry. I can’t say I’m surprised. I already knew they were a questionable person: they did tell me of previous experiences that I would define as them sexually exploiting and manipulating other persons, that they downplay as being a small, petty, social misunderstanding, and their friends and social community also just let that slide, as well. But I didn’t take that opportunity to distance myself when they told me of that, or point out what I thought of their actions, so that’s why I shouldn’t be surprised. I know that I have a long history of making bad relationship choices; this is not any different. But is it only weakness and insecurity to still want to be with this person? Well, I guess that is “yes.� Is it hoping for too much to want them to at admit to me what they had done and be accountable for their actions? Maybe that is. How do I do stop being that person who ends up in these types of relationships? Anonymous You’ve answered most of your own questions here, Anonymous. The only one left is how to stop. All I can say about that is that you need to start thinking in terms of selfpreservation. Do you hate yourself? Do you feel that you deserve to be treated like this? If so, then get some counseling and figure out why you feel this way and try to get better. Is this just a matter of physical attraction overcoming your better judgment? Then think about how you would react to this person if you were only seeking friendship. You wouldn’t want to be friends with a person who treated others poorly would you? Well, then you certainly shouldn’t be sleeping with them. Maybe that’s the rule? Friends first. Or how about: Would you let this person date your best friend? One way or another, you have to hold potential partners to a higher standard. Jyl Inov
