Upshaw Was Athens “Who is Upshaw Bentley, Homer? You can beat him.� I actually said that, or words to that effect. I was urging Commissioner Homer Cooper to run for mayor, which he did, and I turned out to be the only person in Athens who didn’t know Upshaw Bentley. Upshaw never held that against me. For one thing, it didn’t matter to his vote total, and for another, he was too much the gentleman to need to waste time fretting over scruffy dissidents. For a third thing, Upshaw was just a genuinely nice guy who was able to tolerate people outside his established comfort zone. Upshaw ran for mayor, not because he was politically ambitious but as the kind of community service he always did when it was needed. And he was a good mayor, as he was good at everything he did and in the same genial way, kind of amused by it all. I can imagine that if he was your lawyer, his presence and knowledge of the people involved would have a calming effect on you and on your adversaries, too. I knew Upshaw for a long time, but only from a distance, and from my perspective, one of his great strengths was that he didn’t get his own

ďƒŻ facebook feedback ďƒ° Doc Eldridge (l) and Upshaw both served Athens as mayor, and they were longtime close friends, too. My honor to be with the two “hizzoners.â€? ego mixed up in things, probably the secret of his success. I was sitting next to Upshaw one night in City Hall, during some kind of public public hearing while he was mayor but not presiding. It was fairly soon after Upshaw had succeeded Julius Bishop, and an activist at the podium made the charge that Julius was still running the city through Upshaw. “And doing a piss-poor job of it, too,â€? Upshaw muttered to me. I did have the advantage that one of Upshaw’s lifelong best friends was my pal Bucky Redwine, whose stories about Upshaw humanized him and made him much more than just the smooth man in the wrinkled seersucker suit. Bucky, of course, could humanize anybody, and he told me of their hijinks during school when Bucky’s father would rent a room in the old Georgian Hotel for business associates during football weekends but only use it on Saturday, turning it over to Bucky and Upshaw on Fridays. Bucky told me about Upshaw learning to fly a P-47 fighter plane during the war, and how Upshaw shot at the target and severed the rope pulling it behind the tow plane. (There he was again: Citizen Bentley, doing what needed to be done.) And when Upshaw and Frances got married, of course Bucky and friends saw to it that when Upshaw knelt at the altar, the audience could clearly see written on the sole of his left shoe, “To Hellâ€? and on his right, “With Tech.â€? What a small smattering of Upshaw stories I know. How many there are! And, how many there were that only Upshaw knew, and the people he helped—quietly, and behind the scenes. I’ve recently had the privilege of doing some advance reading in the forthcoming book of Athens history, The Tangible Past of Athens, Georgia. Inevitably, such a book spotlights the citizens who have made Athens what it is and by doing so reminds us that throughout our history there have been people whose personal success has advanced their city’s success. In every generation there have been those who were able to work hard for themselves and their families and also for our community. They rise up from these annals. They were here. They walked our streets. They did the civic work that needed doing. They left their imprint on our town. And now Upshaw has joined them. Now he, too, belongs to history, and to Athens.

funding was associated with the library expansion. Since its creation three years ago, the ACAC has received about $15,000 a year in local tax revenue. “It’s money we can spend on public art in whatever way we feel will benefit the community the most,� Wolf-Ragatz said. And the ACAC decided that that’s the library, one of the busiest public resources in the community. The sculpture and mural will cost a combined $33,000 for materials and labor. Considering the ACAC recently spent almost $10,000 on a bench at Rocksprings Park, that’s a lot of bang for our bucks. Urban Farm: East Athens was not always a residential neighborhood. In the 19th Century, it was covered in cotton farms, and if you look closely, you can still see the remnants of terraces stepping to the North Oconee River across from downtown. The railroads through Athens were originally built to ship that cotton. The Williams family farm off Ruth Street is the last vestige of that heritage, and the Athens Land Trust is protecting it in perpetuity. The five-acre lot, bought for $250,000, will continue to be a working farm, and food grown there will be sold at the land trust’s monthly West Broad School farmer’s market. Although the area is zoned residential and agriculture is generally not allowed, the farm has been grandfathered in. Coincidentally, a proposal to ease restrictions on community gardens in neighborhoods is on the ACC Commission’s Aug. 22 agenda.

Nick Napoletano

But commissioners Allison Wright, Jared Bailey and Jerry NeSmith raised a number of issues with the plan, most notably questioning whether Cramer could actually recoup the $5.4 million investment. (As a side note, Bailey and Wright recently tried and failed to shave off some of the Classic Center’s hotel/ motel tax funding.) Cramer said he is “100 percent confident� in his ability to pay off the bonds and promised to give commissioners more details before the vote, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 3.

Mama’s Boy: Most readers are probably aware of the kitchen fire at Mama’s Boy Sunday, Aug. 11 that sent employees Terrance Statiras and Drew Jacoby to the hospital with serious burns. They’ll be OK, their medical bills are covered and the building wasn’t damaged. But an outpouring of support from customers led owners Alicia Segars and Cooper Hudson to set up an account for the injured kitchen workers at SunTrust Bank.

capitol impact Hillary Or Honey Boo Boo? even among Democrats, the vote was split: 38 percent went for creationism and 38 percent were for evolution. This could mean that Georgia is still a very religious state, or it could mean that our high schools are doing a poor job of teaching science. Another survey question: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Paula Deen? A 54 percent majority had a favorable opinion of the controversial Southern chef while only 21 percent had an unfavorable opinion and 25 percent were not sure. That sounds plausible to me. In the period since Deen ignited a nationwide controversy by admitting she had used a raciallycharged word to describe black people, I’ve heard conservatives and liberals alike say she was being treated unfairly by the media, given the time and circumstances in which she grew up. PPP asked Georgians if they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of William Tecumseh Sherman, the Yankee general who torched half the state on his march to the sea during the Civil War. The response was 16 percent favorable, 28 percent unfavorable and a whopping 56 percent said they were not sure. It has been nearly 150 years since Sherman’s march and it appears that a large number of Georgians no longer care about him or even know who he was. Survey respondents were then asked their opinion of Honey Boo Boo, the Middle Georgia beauty pageant contestant whose family is the subject of one of America’s best-known cable reality shows. Only 8 percent have a favorable opinion of Honey Boo Boo, while 63 percent hold an unfavorable opinion of her That may be the most interesting survey result of all: Gen. William T. Sherman has a favorable rating twice as high as Honey Boo Boo among Georgians. Who would have guessed it?

Public Policy Polling (PPP) conducted a statewide survey in Georgia to gauge public sentiment on the upcoming senate and presidential races. There were the usual political trends that were tracked by the poll. U.S. Reps. Phil Gingrey and Paul Broun had moved to the front in the GOP primary senate race. Gingrey was the preference of 25 percent of the voters, and Broun followed at 19 percent, while Rep. Jack Kingston and Karen Handel had slipped back a few points. The survey showed that Democrat Michelle Nunn could run a fairly strong race against the nominee who emerges from the Republican primary. It also showed Hillary Clinton might have a shot at carrying Georgia if she is the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016. PPP usually mixes in a few questions about cultural issues in its surveys, probably to provide some relief from the political horse races, and they did the same in their Georgia poll. They asked: Would you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun sales, including gun shows and the Internet? The poll showed that 73 percent supported background checks, while 19 percent opposed them. Another question: Do you think employers should be allowed to discriminate against employees based on sexual orientation? Only 17 percent said employers should be allowed to discriminate against gay employees, while 72 percent said they should not. On the issue of same-sex marriages Georgians are still strongly opposed. Only 32 percent said these marriages should be allowed; 60 percent said they should not. Georgians were asked if they believe more in creationism or in evolution. The response was that 53 percent believe more in creationism, 29 percent believe more in evolution, and 18 percent were not sure. Republicans believed more strongly in creationism—by a 68–19 percent margin—but

Fake IDs

Minors Partying Leads to Major Problems T

his fall will be the fourth consecutive semester Eric Van Deventer won’t be returning to school. He’s still paying for the time he was caught in Athens drinking and driving underage with a fake ID. Van Deventer is far from alone. The bust earlier this month of an alleged fake ID manufacturing ring that involved 17 University of Georgia students indicates the ubiquity of the deceptive driver’s licenses.

Easy to Fake Indictments against UGA student William Trosclair and Gainesville State student Tyler Ruby—the ringleaders of the fake ID ring, according to police—were almost two years in the making. The roommate of UGA student

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 21, 2013

Ashley Hampton, another accused member of the manufacturing ring, spoke to a residential advisor at Russell Hall about a conflict she had with Hampton. She was worried she would get in trouble if authorities ever found out that Hampton was the “middle person” for fake ID sales, according to a September 2011 Clarke County search warrant. “I don’t have anyone to talk to, and this situation is bad,” Hampton’s roommate told the RA, according to the warrant. The fake IDs were extremely high quality. The items police say they confiscated from Ruby and Trosclair’s house included a legitimate ID printer, blank ID cards and hologram laminates from four different states. Authorities say Ruby and Trosclair employed couriers to snap photos in students’ dorm rooms, then delivered fake IDs for

$50-$100. They are charged with dozens of felonies but are seeking to reduce the charges to misdemeanors. IDs like those are sold to students like Van Deventer. When he was partying underage, he had a total of four fake IDs and would visit several Clayton Street bars, he says. “It was pretty easy once we found a guy that actually made them. All we had to do was send him a picture and information, and he printed out a card for us,” Van Deventer says. Clarke County Solicitor General C.R. Chisholm, who prosecutes misdemeanors, says charges for underage drinking and fake ID are pretty common, especially downtown. There were 452 arrests on charges of underage possession of alcohol and 38 arrests on charges of fake identification in the past year, according to ACC police. Some people were arrested on

both charges. Today’s technology has made the ability to doctor up forgeries a relatively easy task. Anyone with decent printer and Photoshop skills can forge a bootleg ID that can get past the door guy. “It’s easy to modify the ID itself,” says “Marc,” a former maker of fake IDs, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons. “If you really want to get into a bar bad enough, you’ll come up with whatever you can to make it work.” Marc says he would scan an ID into a computer, size it to the exact scale of the original and match the fonts and colors. The only part he altered was the birth date. He would then print out the replica. Using a scalpel to cut out the date of birth on both the copy and original, he would replace the new date of

birth using a special laminate to superimpose the false date onto the original ID. “We never had anybody give us any shit about it. They looked perfect,” he says. “They kept all the original holograms on there.” “It’s kind of ridiculous what will pass,” Van Deventer says. ”I’ve used a fake ID that said I was 24 years old when I was 19. It said I was 5-foot-4—I’m 6-foot—and said my name was Pedro. And it was a New Jersey ID as well.”

Easier to Enforce

that attitude. To his recollection, the only time police have taken action against bars is when they fail compliance checks—known to most as sting operations. “We’re not targeting anybody,” he says, adding that all the police are interested in doing is enforcing the law by making sure no minors are served alcohol. From recent data gained through compliance checks, Chisholm tells Flagpole that there’s been a “vast improvement” over the past 10 years. A decade ago, Chisholm says, only 20-30 percent of downtown bars passed compliance checks, and today it’s at 80-90 percent.

David Basham, who’s worked his way up to manager from door guy in his eight years at the 40 Watt Club, says this type of behavior shows that “underage drinking is a social problem, not a drinking problem.” He recalls a time when he was a door guy When underage drinkers get arrested, and a kid came in with an ID that looked Chisholm says, they have three options: plead genuine, but something about it “felt wrong.” guilty, plead not guilty or go into a pre-trial He showed it to a fellow door guy for a second intervention program—an option granted opinion, and his comostly to first-time worker told him, “I offenders or to othknow that this isn’t ers depending on this person, because the severity of their I know the person criminal history. on the ID.

“Marc” demonstrates how to alter the birth date on a fake ID. allowing or condoning underage drinking when they’re not. But it’s a fairly common perception among UGA students that the part of downtown east of College Avenue caters to a younger crowd. Basham, among others at downtown hotspots, says that the bust of the fake ID ring has led to some acknowledgement by UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson that bars are, in fact, doing their job. The arrests have some downtown bar owners, managers and doormen feeling vindicated. “The fact that there is this huge fake ID ring in Georgia sort of exemplifies that we’re doing our jobs. You wouldn’t need fake IDs if we were just letting people in willy-nilly,” Basham says. “Prior to that, it’s always been, ‘This is a problem, and it’s your guys’ fault.’” Lt. Gary Epps, who runs the downtown police substation, says he is “befuddled” by

Chisholm warns students that a fake ID charge on their criminal history looks “really ugly” and can affect their future employability. “It says, ‘possession of fraudulent identification document’ [and] it looks really bad,” he says. “It does reflect, potentially, on your integrity and whether you’re being honest or not.” Van Deventer says his arrest “ended his schooling career,” but he’s currently working to recover and hopes to be back at UGA by the spring. “I didn’t come from a whole lot of money, so once that happened, all of my money and all my time was put into hiring a lawyer and paying court fees,” he says. ”And having to serve time in jail.” David Schick

athens rising Home Businesses and the Law The Athens-Clarke County Planning Commission recently debated proposed changes to the home occupation ordinance, which allows certain businesses to be operated out of homes in residential areas. The major points of debate included permitting cottage food businesses, child daycares and the continued prohibition of dog-related businesses. The ordinance has a huge impact on entrepreneurship, community and quality of life, and it deserves the attention it is currently receiving. Throughout the Aug. 1 meeting, planning commissioners and the county attorney debated the overall purpose and guidelines of the ordinance. A home occupation ordinance is designed to make an exception for small business operations that would like to operate out of a residential home. This fosters entrepreneurship by allowing commercial uses without the added cost of leasing a commercial space. However, it is a narrow exception. Residential areas should retain the look and feel of residential areas despite the presence of any commercial enterprise. The overall goal of the ordinance is to allow in residential zones those businesses that can operate with little impact. Without knowledge or inquiry, neighbors shouldn’t know the business is in operation. For instance, almost all businesses related to the production and sale of food are considered catering operations and are banned in residential areas. Catering usually involves industrial equipment not found in an ordinary home. This is an offshoot of the low-impact idea of a home occupation in that this idea asks whether or not a business will be using equipment traditionally found in a home; if not, it likely won’t be discreet and should be prohibited from residential areas. That’s debatable, though, because oftentimes equipment not normally found in a residential home could be used but the business could still operate in secrecy. The state Department of Agriculture recently changed its rules to allow cottage

foods—i.e. foods that can be made without industrial equipment and are non-hazardous— to be manufactured in a home. This gives local governments more discretion in determining what types of food production can be allowed in certain areas. Many people from the Athens Farmers Market came to the meeting to speak on behalf of the new ordinance, stating that the current ordinance prevents many types of foods like jams, breads, dried fruits and candies from being manufactured in homes and,

Dogs make noise, but do they make more noise than babies? consequently, it reduces the number of available items at farmers markets. Allowing cottage food businesses has widespread support on the planning commission and will likely find its way into the final ordinance. The more controversial issues surround the arbitrariness and potential unconstitutionality of many classifications found in the proposed ordinance. The current and proposed ordinances both allow for child daycares with up to six children, including the owner’s children. Both also prohibit any type of dog daycare or dog grooming business. Both ordinances also prohibit any home business from occupying

more than 25 percent of the heated floor space within the structure. All of these issues drew debate among the planning commissioners, as many felt these classifications and numbers were irrational and arbitrary. Why 25 percent? Why prohibit dog daycare, but allow child daycare? Why and how determine six children is the maximum? Though many of these issues may seem arbitrary and pulled from thin air, the government has a great deal of discretion. A zoning regulation can be considered a violation of due process or equal protection if it is found to be arbitrary and irrational. However, the burden on the challenger is high. The court is going to ask whether or not the government had any legitimate purpose in enacting the regulation. Zoning is a local government’s application of the state’s ability to use its police power to protect the health, safety and

welfare of citizens, so this is where the court will look to determine if a legitimate purpose exists. A court could easily find that limiting a business to 25 percent of the floor space is rationally related to a legitimate government interest. The legitimate government interest is basic zoning: segregating certain uses promotes the health, safety and welfare of citizens. Limiting businesses in residential areas to 25 percent of the floor space upholds the general residential character of the neighborhood. The more floor space a business occupies, the more it morphs from residential

to commercial and degrades the zoning plan. A rational basis is the court’s lowest standard. Unless it makes no sense whatsoever for the government to decide 25 percent is the limit, it will be upheld. Many other municipalities have similar restrictions. The same can be said for dog-related services and child care. Many of the planning commissioners who supported the continued ban on dog-related services stated that dogs clearly make more noise, are likely going to need days or weeks to become familiar with one another and could easily be left alone outside while the owner is away. Conversely, planning commissioners pointed out that children make less noise, will generally get along and (it is to be hoped) will not be left outside while the owner is away. A court could therefore easily reach the decision that this classification is not arbitrary but rational. A court could also easily reach the decision that six children is rationally related to the legitimate government interest of reducing noise and the amount of traffic generated by a daycare. Again, many other municipalities have similar restrictions. Enforcement must also be considered in the adoption of an ordinance. Clearly if a dog daycare were allowed, some limit would have to be set on the number of dogs. If a neighbor calls in a noise complaint, it will be difficult for the government to determine what dog belongs to what owner. If the owner has 10 dogs and the ordinance allows seven dogs that are not owned by the property owner, the government will basically have to take the word of the owner as to who owns what dog. This makes enforcement difficult. An interesting issue is the difference between dog daycare and dog grooming. The ordinance allows for barber and beauty shops, under certain conditions, but absolutely prohibits dog grooming. One planning commissioner brought up the fact that a barber shop and dog grooming are basically the same in terms of the traffic generated. In fact, human grooming uses many more chemicals not found in an ordinary home than dog grooming. Assuming a barber shop meets the low impact viewpoint of a home occupation ordinance, and that is why it is allowed, a dog grooming business should also meet this viewpoint. Unless you have several dogs making noise and waiting in line for a haircut, the two are basically the same. Nick Sexton

Bike Lanes Coming to College Station

C

ontinuous bicycle lanes on College Station Road are still several years away, but about 20 citizens attended last week’s public information meeting as county planners begin to nail down a final design. The biggest open question on the long-awaited project: should bike lanes be four feet wide or five? Most citizens, and BikeAthens, favored the wider lanes. “Let’s do it right,� one citizen commented, saying even five-foot lanes are “barely adequate� on the busy road. College Station already has bicycle lanes from the University of Georgia campus to a narrow river bridge, forcing cyclists to merge with traffic to cross. They pick up again after the bridge before petering out at Research Drive. Bike lanes will be added all the way to Barnett Shoals Road (probably during 2015) just as Georgia’s Department of Transportation is replacing the narrow bridge with a wider one (likely by 2016) that will have room for bike lanes and sidewalks, ACC Transportation Administrator Jerry Oberholtzer tells Flagpole. Both projects are expensive and extensive, and both have been priorities for local bicyclists and their supporters in local government for years. The old river bridges are “functionally obsolete,� Oberholtzer says, and cannot be widened. Replacing them will take two years.

A narrow bridge across the North Oconee River that precludes continuous bike lanes on College Station Road is being replaced. To add bike lanes and consistent sidewalks to the eastern end of College Station will require moving the centerline and repaving the road, although the additional right-of-way width required will be no more than 10 feet, he says. Narrower bike lanes would “greatly reduce the construction cost� by 16 percent on the $1.9 million project, according to a county handout. But BikeAthens Executive Director Tyler Dewey says four-foot widths are narrower than standard. “We’d like to see painted buffers to separate cars and traffic from the bike lanes,� Dewey says. “We’d like to see green painted bike lanes to highlight entrances, exits and intersections.� At least one more public meeting will be held on the design, and it will go to ACC commissioners for a final vote. UGA, too, is planning to better accommodate bicyclists in future years, says Kevin Kirsche of UGA’s Office of Sustainability. “The current priority is Sanford Drive�—the major north-south route through campus—which could get bike lanes, “bike boxes� where bicyclists can wait at stoplights and be seen more easily, and semi-separated bike lanes. Proposals by UGA’s Grounds Department and a BikeUGA Task Force will be vetted with an eye to current funding, Kirsche says, and “actual improvements along a portion of Sanford Drive should be completed by next summer.� Last year’s UGA Bike Study made extensive suggestions for facilitating bike movements on various campus streets and intersections, including allowing bikes to continue through red lights at some intersections, widening some streets, eliminating some parking and changing bus bays. Sanford Drive should be a priority, the study said, followed by bike-friendly improvements at intersections, and adding missing bike lanes along East Campus Road, Carlton Street, and River Road.

Upcoming in Athens Flagpole’s Fall 2013 Concert Preview

G

enerally speaking, autumn is the busiest season for live music in Athens, and this year is no different. In fact, our major clubs’ schedules are practically boiling over with local and touring talent: fall 2013 is, we can say with some certainty, the most impressive concert season in recent memory. Still, it can be a beast keeping track of it all. To help you parse what’s going down over the next few months, we’ve compiled an extensive list of Flagpole-recommended shows, with extended previews attached to our must-sees. Of course, we’ll run in-depth articles on many of these events as the weeks progress. But for now, here’s a taste of things to come. Cut these couple pages out and let ‘em yellow on the fridge ‘til November. It’s not a comprehensive list— much has yet to be announced—but it should come in handy.

Rose Windows

Monday, Sept. 9 @ Caledonia Lounge Seattle-based collective Rose Windows falls decisively on the folkier end of the psych-rock spectrum. In fact, the group’s music is often downright pastoral, heavily incorporating flute (obligatory Jethro Tull reference here) and acoustic guitar into its eclectic, expansive repertoire. But the band can ramp it up, too; druggy tunes like “Native Dreams,” from the band’s recently released Sub Pop debut, The Sun Dogs, cull equally from Black Sabbath and Jefferson Airplane. While the group’s ‘60s-stained rock and roll daydreams win no points in the originality department, they’re certainly authentic enough to make even the iPhone-totin’-est faux-hippie feel like she was there, man.

Waxahatchee, Screaming Females, Tenement Thursday, Sept. 19 @ 40 Watt Club Guitar-slingers Marissa Paternoster, of Jersey rockers Screaming Females, and Katie Crutchfield, of Philly-via-Bama outfit Waxahatchee, are polar opposites, at least on the surface: the former wails and shreds with punk rock abandon, while the latter traffics in up-close-and-personal folk confessionals. Where Paternoster takes tips from guitar wizards like Marnie Stern and J. Mascis, Crutchfield is indebted to the literate emotionalism of Liz Phair and Will Johnson. But the two women are linked by their unwillingness to conform to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl indie ideal; in fact, both display an unflappable creative confidence not often seen among today’s indie stars, regardless of gender.

Thursday, Sept. 26 @ Melting Point

Saturday, Sept. 28 @ 40 Watt Club In September, Bill Callahan will release Dream River, his fourth record since shedding the Smog moniker. As a songwriter, he’s as much of an icon as his Drag City labelmate Will Oldham. His music is somber and sparse—not exactly party fare. Sure, there’s the bouncy “Diamond Dancer,” from 2007’s Woke on a Whaleheart—which for a short time I was citing as proof of an emergent dance-folk genre—but in the main, the material’s pretty pensive. Callahan’s music seems more suited to a solitary late-night drive than a big venue. Still, there’s room for surprises. The bitter “America,” from 2011’s Apocalypse, is prime material for a bilious singalong, and a song like “Faith/Void,” from Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle, could bring on a collective existential freakout. Think of it as a chance to commune with your moody fellows. There’s plenty of time to be alone after the show. [Marshall Yarbrough]

Monday, Oct. 7 @ Georgia Theatre Show of hands, millennials: how many of y’all drove around at age 16 in your beat-up ‘86 Camry blasting Clarity and pining sweatily over some girl (or guy)? ME. I DID. Long-running Arizona emo outfit Jimmy Eat World flirted a little too heavily with the mainstream on 2001’s Bleed American (which birthed pop radio staple “The Middle”), but the band is back on track with the recently released Damage, in many ways a return to pre-aughts form. The group doubtless has a place in the hearts of many aging local hipsters; expect this all-ages show to be a mixture of emotionally fragile teenagers and hardened 20-somethings trying their best to pretend they feel it less than they do.

Rubblebucket

Friday, Oct. 11 @ New Earth Music Hall Rubblebucket has seven, eight, maybe even nine members. It’s hard to tell, really. What I do know is that these Brooklynbased world music weirdos produce some of the happiest, most life-affirming, dance floor-igniting boogie-woogie since Reptar (no wonder the two bands like to tour together). The core of the group revolves around infectiously joyful frontwoman Kalmia Traver and her boyfriend/bandleader/trumpeter Alex Toth. Over the course of three albums and just as many EPs, the group has amassed a cult following of diehard fans who sweat, rock face paint and make out all in honor of Rubblebucket’s brassy, polyglot funk. (Think Talking Heads, but add saxophone, trombone and stand-up bass.) Rubblebucket is a surefire good time, the perfect remedy to the fall doldrums— who could be cynical in the wake of such wide-eyed exuberance? [Christopher Joshua Benton]

Tuesday, Oct. 8 @ Normaltown Hall That voice. Chicago chanteuse Angel Olsen features an otherworldly set of pipes that could crack stained glass and a songwriting skill set to match. Last year’s Half Way Home (released via Asheville indie Bathetic) was a breakthrough in more ways than one, and if Olsen’s outdoor performance at this summer’s Pitchfork Music Festival was any indication, her set at the far more intimate Normaltown Hall will be a barnburner. At Pitchfork, on a small rear stage surrounded by lush green trees whipping gently in a wind that seemed to emanate from within the singer herself, she commanded a capacity crowd with little more than an acoustic guitar and that indelible, electric, devastating voice. Good lord, that voice. [GV]

Jason Isbell, St. Paul and the Broken Bones

Wednesday, Oct. 9 @ Georgia Theatre Fans of Jason Isbell since his days with the Drive-By Truckers will likely have a few requests in mind, but the ticket price is worth it to hear the first bars of “Super 8,” from Southeastern, the album Isbell released earlier this year. To hear the line “I don’t wanna die in a Super 8 Motel” delivered with all the force a professional sound system has to offer; to feel the song’s shithead guitar riff blasting from the stack of amps in back of the stage—the very prospect is thrilling. This tour could be a kind of victory lap for Isbell. The singer has successfully sworn off the bottle, and he’s received loads of praise for his new album. Even better, he’s just gotten married, to fellow musician Amanda Shires. So even if Isbell, unlike the narrator of “Super 8,” won’t be spending the night “drinkin’ like a pirate do,” it still promises to be a good time. [MY]

Wynton Marsalis with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Thursday, Oct. 10 @ Hodgson Concert Hall The musical highlight of the UGA Performing Arts Center’s fall 2013 schedule is the arrival of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. The bandleader comes from a long line of New Orleans heavyweights (older brother Branford comes to Athens next spring) and is among the most recognizable figures on the jazz landscape. Still, he continues to explore interesting musical territories, vehemently blurring the lines between popular, traditional and classical music. In Athens, he will collaborate with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and a 60-person mass choir to perform his Abyssinian Mass, a grand, gospel-tinged piece Marsalis composed in 2008 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Harlem baptist church of the same name.

Thursday, Oct. 17 @ 40 Watt Club The first time I saw Toro y Moi, the alter ego of South Carolina native Chaz Bundick, he was co-headlining with Washed Out at the 40 Watt. He performed alone and had a tiny setup with a MacBook and a tapestry placed on a small fold-up table. At the time, he was a disciple of chillwave, making low-fidelity retro-pop tunes out of soul samples—music more inclined to bedrooms and small clubs than open-air festivals and arenas. That was in 2010. Since then, I’ve caught Bundick in a handful of other cities with his drastically altered live spread. He now performs with a full band, a light production and a much fuller sound. Toro y Moi’s latest record, Anything in Return, recast the multi-instrumentalist as an unlikely bedroom lothario, experimenting with deep house and the softer edges of quiet-storm R&B. [CJB]

Monday, Oct. 28 @ 40 Watt Club The 2011 legal separation of Sonic Youth principals Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore left that group’s future in limbo, but its members have stayed busy since. Gordon embarked on a noisy project with guitarist Bill Nace called Body/Head, guitarist Lee Ranaldo went solo and drummer Steve Shelley started sessioning all over the damn place. Of course, fans know that Moore, the group’s most indefatigable member, never stays quiet for too long, whether collaborating with experimental icons like Loren Connors or releasing unexpected chamber-pop masterpieces (2011’s Demolished Thoughts). Last year, alongside guitarist Samara Lubelski, Moore formed Chelsea Light Moving, a group whose jagged, propulsive music harkens back to the dissonant pop of his early solo work. [GV]

Kurt Vile and the Violators, Beach Fossils

Tuesday, Oct. 29 @ 40 Watt Club Philly folkie Kurt Vile followed up 2010’s underwhelming Smoke Ring For My Halo with this year’s remarkable Wakin On a Pretty Daze, a warm, psych-spotted long-player that played really long—70 minutes, give or take a few seconds. Its generous running time and lived-in sonic qualities lent it an anachronistic air; Vile’s scruffy, longhaired persona, likewise, seems lifted from another era. Above all, Vile finally seems comfortable(-ish) in his role as indie superstar, even as the mild-mannered family man claims in interviews to abhor the touring lifestyle. His longtime backing band the Violators remains as on-point as ever, even with the loss of drummer Mike Zanghi. [GV]

Father John Misty, Kate Berlant

Saturday, Oct. 26 @ Georgia Theatre The artist formerly known as J. Tillman released three stark, reflective albums under that name before adopting the Father John Misty moniker for 2012’s Fear Fun, a playful, psychaddled LP. Sonically, the record culls largely from the Laurel Canyon sound of the ‘60s, but Tillman’s evasive, pansexual Urban Outfitters persona is pure folkie postmodernism. Live, the artist is an indie rock character actor—or is he? Where Tillman ends and Father John begins isn’t always so clear, and the tall, toothsome singer’s stage presence, a curious mix of suggestive hip gyrations, flamboyant hand gestures and stoic vocal delivery, is an odd but engrossing thing.

Deerhunter, Elf Power

Saturday, Nov 16 @ 40 Watt Club Deerhunter started in the Atlanta garage-rock scene, a scrappy band with a weird lead singer and a penchant for atmospheric noise. Less than a decade in—this year’s Monomania is album No. 5—the band has emerged as the premier rock band of the Pitchfork era. Bradford Cox, the charismatic frontman, is a bona fide rock star, albeit one of an odder sort, more suited to an age of Internet oversharing. But the blogosphere carping surrounding Cox does nothing to diminish his impact as a performer—case in point being the Joey Ramone-meets-Carrie act he gave during the band’s set on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” earlier this year. A recent lineup change saw Athens scene veteran Josh McKay and ex-Balkans guitarist Frankie Broyles join longtime members Moses Archuleta and Lockett Pundt as Cox’s backing band. “I was on the cusp of a breakthrough,” Cox sings on “Nitebike.” Meanwhile, the band is already in top form.

threats & promises Music News And Gossip Hey everyone. Welcome back to another week of news staight from the heart of the Classic City. Where’s the heart? Right between the lungs, my friend, so breathe deep and love it. And forgive me, scientists, if I’m incorrect. But it sounded good, right? At any rate, on we go…

Rock Past the Pain , Cusses Catharsis S

avannah-based rock trio Cusses is on a roll. Lead singer (and occasional keyboardist) Angel Bond, drummer Brian Lackey and guitarist Bryan Harder released an impressive debut album last year, and they’ve been going full steam ahead with their fuzztoned, soulful punk bash ever since. The band’s story starts at the Savannah School of Art and Design, where Bond, Lackey and Harder were like-minded classmates. Lackey and Harder had played together years ago in a punk rock band, before Lackey and Bond moved to Los Angeles together. “We came back to Savannah soon after that,” Bond says of their brief stint in L.A. “Brian and Bryan started playing with each other again, just for old times’ sake, and they needed a singer. They asked me to join in, but I dragged my feet, because Brian is my boyfriend, and I didn’t want to be in a band with my boyfriend and ruin things. I wanted them to have their guy time.” After she finally agreed to sit in with them, the band naturally came together. “We came up with a mess of songs within the first practice,” Bond says. “We knew that we had really great chemistry right away.” Being the lead singer in a loud rock band was a new experience for Bond, although she’d previously performed in formal choirs and collaborated with fellow musicians. “It was sort of new. I’d learned to play the saxophone, and done a little choir work here and there,” she says. “I used to live in New Orleans, where I sang for tips and stuff. I had not done anything to this extreme—nothing with a full-time band.” Cusses’ self-titled 2012 collection, released via their own HA! Records imprint, is a brilliantly diverse piece of work, a wailing, emotive, raw album of energetic punk, blues and swagger. Studio producer Dan Hannon (of Atlanta’s Manchester Orchestra) captured Cusses’ raw and tumultuous sound perfectly. “I love mixing up genres, because it attracts all different types of people,” Bond says. “We sometimes earn new fans we didn’t expect. You’ve got to take those opportunities to reach different people. The kids in Savannah are all pretty open to different styles… There’s a great community that’s very supportive.” Lyrically, Cusses songs tend to touch on Bond’s personal life experiences: dramatic ups

and downs, triumphs and failures. This mood enhances the dynamics of the music. There’s also a hint of perseverance and positivity where one might least expect it. “For me, I think the first record was really about kind of getting through my past,” Bond says. “Getting through it in a positive format. I know some of the lyrics are a little dark, but I want people to know that no matter how bad things have been, or what you’re going through, you can always get through it. It’s all about your perception and reaction.” And Bond says the band’s intense live show is a chance for catharsis. “I do sort of put myself into a little trance,” Bond says. “Sometimes I’m choking back some very deep emotions, but I feel very relieved by the end of each show. I’m thankful that I have this band and this outlet for that. It’s a very positive way to get through your things.” More and more people are taking notice of the music. Last month, Cusses completed an ambitious Kickstarter campaign to fund their next studio sessions at Echo Mountain in Asheville, NC and their first tour of the UK and Europe, planned for later in the fall. Ultimately, the band raised over $37,000. “Near the end, we really had no idea if this was going to make it, but the last few days really blew us away,” says Bond. “It was a very humbling experience to see what friends and once-strangers will do for music.” Meanwhile, Cusses will continue to tour across the Southeast this summer and fall. The band looks forward to returning to Athens this week for a fifth show in the Classic City. “Athens is tough and brilliant at the same time,” says Bond. “Every Athens musician knows it. We’ve made longtime friends here with Manray, Twin Tigers, Caledonia owner Bryant [Williamson] and many others. Everyone here is nothing short of beautiful.” T. Ballard Lesemann

inquire as to its origins. These events are free, but if you’re under 21, you gotta cough up two bucks to get in. Better In Due Time: Sam Sniper is finishing up its second full-length album, and the band debuted some songs from the upcoming release during a show last week. Members have been recording at their home studio and plan to release the record in late fall or early winter. Sam Sniper’s debut album, We’re Not Coming Back This Way, was released in 2011. The one track I’ve been able to preview from the upcoming album is a low-slung, Southwestern-flavored affair that doesn’t seem to deviate very much from the band’s already well honed lowercase-”c” cowboy sensibility.

One Went West: The first artist from the now-defunct Birdhouse Collection to have officially moved his work away from the collective’s Bandcamp page is Green Gerry. The erstwhile Gerry Green’s new album, King Baby, can be found at greengerry0.bandcamp.com. The 12-track release is a headphone-land trip full of gauzy pop, soft psychedelia and vocals that sound like echoes of half-remembered dreams. So, you know, fully recommended. Green splits his time between Athens and Los Angeles these days, and has a new L.A.-based project named Dally that’s much more synth-y with a dash of goth for good measure.

Giants Rising and Falling Rogue Hulk Never underestimate the mind of a mouse, especially one wearing big puffy shoes. It’s fairly common knowledge that Disney’s recent acquisitions of Marvel Entertainment and Lucasfilm were an expensive but cagey strategy to reach out to a demographic of young males that had previously eluded the company. (Oddly enough, it appears most tween boys are uninterested in Cinderella and Demi Lovato—go figure.) The acquisitions have already resulted in some interesting plans, including, of course, the rebirth of the Star Wars film franchise and planned expansions of Disney’s theme parks to compete with archrival Universal. While one expects Disney to saturate every market it can with its new toys, this last month saw a genuinely surprising turn. Seemingly from nowhere a pair of novels featuring two of Marvel’s C-list characters just showed up in stores from Hyperion Books, Disney’s adult publishing arm: Rogue Touch by Christine Woodward, featuring Rogue of the X-Men, who absorbs energy, powers and memories from anyone she touches and who was portrayed with epic levels of woodenness by Anna Paquin in the movies; and The She-Hulk Diaries by Marta Acosta, featuring She-Hulk, Bruce Banner’s cousin who became a, well, female Hulk when she was in an accident and… oh, who cares? What is interesting about these novels is not only that they feature two relatively obscure characters (stand down, nerds, I know they’re not obscure to you), but that neither is a punch-’em-out action adventure. Rogue Touch is an angsty teen romance about Rogue on the run, trying to find herself and falling in with a boy with powers of his own. The She-Hulk Diaries is a quirky comic novel following She-Hulk as she tries to balance her work as an attorney with her love life as a 7-foot-tall green-skinned juggernaut, with much Bridget Jones-esque wackiness ensuing. In other words, Marvel Comics chick-lit. Disney may not be able to sell princesses to pubescent boys but, by the frozen head of Unca Walt, they’re going to sell superheroes to teenage girls. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

Random Penguin We hear a lot about corporate mergers, especially in the financial sector, where for a while there it seemed that every major bank in the world was about to coagulate into one titanic megabank, to be followed shortly thereafter with the barcoding and reprogramming of every man, woman and child on Earth. We don’t hear much from the publishing world, which was hit especially hard by the triplewhammy of the economic crash, the rise of

vanity e-publishing and the seemingly unstoppable ascent of Amazon. It has just been announced, however, that Bertelsmann SE, owner of Random House, and Pearson, owner of Penguin Putnam, have merged their houses to form Penguin Random House, now the largest publisher in the world, commanding a 25 percent share of the publishing market. What does this mean to you? Well, if you’re a lover of books you actually hold in your hand and don’t have to periodically recharge, quite a bit, as the merger should result in a surge of new paper product in bookstores, who should also be happy for the breathing room. It’s also news for writers, as the current freeze on new acquisitions should thaw somewhat. And perhaps most importantly, the new company looks to be able to compete with Amazon in direct book sales. This last may or may not happen, but it would be nice to see Amazon face a little competition for a change. At the very least, it may set back that company’s plans to barcode and reprogram us all.

Widespread Influence For those who don’t already know, we recently lost a great and influential talent with the passing of Richard Matheson, the prolific and profoundly gifted writer of such works as I Am Legend and What Dreams May Come. Matheson died June 23 at age 87. Many people will not recognize his name, but he belongs to that select group of craftsmen, like Donald E. Westlake, Jack Ketcham and Angela Carter, who quietly but steadily influenced imaginative literature throughout the last 50 or 60 years. In addition to the works cited above (the three different film versions of I Am Legend), Matheson wrote the stories that became The Incredible Shrinking Man, Steven Spielberg’s Duel, Real Steel, and Stir of Echoes. He was also part of the Holy Trinity of writers, along with Rod Serling and Charles Beaumont, who produced the best episodes of “The Twilight Zone”—the one where William Shatner sees the monster on the wing of the plane? Matheson. Moreover, there is nary a horror novelist working today who is not in some way indebted to Richard Matheson either directly or through the literary DNA of Stephen King, who cites Matheson as one of his major influences. And that’s an understatement, as there is not a damn thing King has ever written that didn’t draw, glean or outright swipe something from the Matheson canon. In recent years, much of Matheson’s work has surfaced in new editions and is available in bookstores. Aspiring writers, regardless of preferred genre, would do well to pick up a few of his books and learn some points in the craft of storytelling from a true master. Richard Matheson will be sorely missed.

cobbloviate A Little Pomp Is OK In Certain Circumstances

Dr. Jason Manthorne, new Ph.D., and his mentor, Jim Cobb, old Ph.D.

On

a recent Friday, the Ol’ Bloviator attended what was surely his umpteenth-plus-several college commencement ceremony. This occasion marked the 21st conferral of the Doctorate on High on a graduate student who had endured the pure un-shirted hell of having the O.B. as a dissertation director. On graduation day, the director is invited to participate in the symbolic “hooding” ceremony that makes the whole business sound more like a Klan rally than an august recognition of great academic achievement. Although a Ph.D. candidate is not required to show up to have this unwieldy piece of academic regalia draped over him or her, the designation “Doctor” seems more authentic this way, as opposed to having your doctorate effectively presented to you by the mailman. (Think about that before you sign up to get one of those six-week Ph.D.s in molecular biology online.) Either way, of course, compared to “Doctor of Medicine,” the “Doctor of Philosophy” is way, way down the cachet hierarchy, but commencement at least gives us a couple of hours of the reinforcement that will be largely lacking in our desolate lives until graduation rolls around again. (Long ago, before he resigned himself to this reality, the Ol’ Bloviator ordered a gas credit card with “Dr.” preceding his name. Why he hoped to gain more respect or notice from gas station cashiers is unclear to him now, but the only time his more exalted identification appeared to really make a difference was when a woman behind the register at an East Tennessee convenience store looked at his card and said, “Doc, can you tell me what this-here thang on my neck is?” So much for posing as the kind of doctor who could actually help anybody.) Given the current job market for Ph.D.s in the humanities, it is unlikely that many of the recently minted variety are going to be bothered by autograph seekers anytime soon. Although the University of Georgia is surely the only institution of higher learning where those clutching brand new Ph.D.s are serenaded with a chorus of “Go, Dogs!” topped off with a solid round of “woofs,” the O.B. can assure you that this summer’s crew walked away with a lot more of their dignity intact than those who preceded them way back on June 7, 1969. The Ol’ Bloviator remembers this commencement with fondness, for it not only marked his receipt of the first of three degrees that would eventually make him a “Triple Dog” (n.b. the O.B. don’t do “Dawg”), but it came roughly 24 hours in advance of a much more important ceremony, indeed the single biggest event of his life, aka his nuptialization with his beloved Mrs. O.B. This particular graduation was also notable for other reasons, however. The proceedings unfolded in Sanford Stadium on a day with temps in the mid-90s. Attendance was mandatory for all graduates back then, so the stands were jammed with soon-to-be recipients of bachelor’s degrees, many of them clad in no more than Bermudas and T-shirts (if that) beneath their robes, their brains under relentless assault from the likes of “Indian Giver” by the 1910 Fruit Company via the ear plugs from their transistor radios. This is to say that for most of the ceremony, the undergraduate honorees were largely oblivious to the proceedings on the plywood platform especially constructed for this occasion. The platform itself was well-constructed and

gave no visible reason for concern, but although gray seemed a suitably somber and institutional color choice, no one had checked to see what sort of finish this particular type of paint would leave, the upshot being that the platform floor and steps were, to put it in scientific terms, slicker than owl poop. It was certainly amusing to see the distinguished speakers making their way to the podium so unsteadily that they might as well have been traversing black ice, but for some reason the most frictionless surface of all belonged to the steps from which the just-hooded Ph.D.s were to exit the stage. Ladies and gentlemen, let me be clear that the O.B. is not talking about several or a good many or even most, when he promises you that not a single member of this unfortunate lot made it down the steps with his or her newly enhanced dignity intact. For the hot and bored candidates for baccalaureate degrees, it was as if they were suddenly watching the “Three Stooges’ Greatest Hits.” The newly invested “doctorati” were falling on their butts, their faces, their shoulders, their ribs and their thighs, each to a successively mounting chorus of side-splitting, britches-wetting, totally out-of-control guffaws. It finally got so bad that they tried positioning sheriff’s deputies alongside the steps to try to catch or at least break the falls of the suddenly humiliated honorees. On at least a couple of descents, the deputies simply could not handle the force generated by the involuntary, utterly unchecked descent of one of the heftier hood-ees, and they all fell sprawling together in a wriggling, thrashing, sweating pile of peace officers and plant pathologist. Needless to say, the undergraduate students couldn’t get enough of this spectacle and eventually even took to shouting out scores, “7.5, 9.5, etc.,” after each tumble. Needless to say as well, this may have been the first and only time a new crop of UGA Ph.D.s left Sanford Stadium more banged-up than the football team.

When cat-called to account by some of his colleagues in the distinguished assemblage, he proceeded to moon the whole bunch of them. That’s the thing about commencement; as an occasion piled high with gravitas, it can also be a lightning rod for irreverent behavior. Certainly, if the energy and creativity devoted to outlandish modifications of their caps and gowns by some degree candidates who barely cleared the C-minus hurdle had been invested in their studies, the list of cum laudes would be a lot longer and laudier. Sadly enough, faculty are not always immune to the temptations of anti-authoritarian behavior on commencement day. Since he is not quite sure about the statute of limitations on certain offenses in the Magnolia State, the Ol’ Bloviator had best just say that he knows of a certain immature junior professor at Ole Miss who objected to the strong-arm tactics of administrators who, at that point, did everything but demand a physician’s excuse when a faculty member missed commencement. Thus it was that, instead of getting himself all hooded, gowned and mortar-boarded up, at the appointed time, this young firebrand went out for a jog that, not coincidentally, took him past the commencement proceedings just as the faculty processional was forming. When cat-called to account by some of his colleagues in the distinguished assemblage, he proceeded to moon the whole bunch of them. All of this happened, of course, before this brash and uncouth fellow grew up (albeit just a little) and began to experience the enormous satisfaction of helping some genuinely terrific students through the dark and bloody ground of graduate school and the particularly painful process of writing a dissertation. From what the O.B. understands, this recovering fanny-flasher even came to actually relish the opportunity to attend graduation and be part of the ritual launching of yet another student’s career. Indeed, the word is that, these days, as he slips into his dotage, this one-time rebel-without-muchof-a-cause beams his brightest when talking about the publications and other achievements, professional and personal, of his former students. As to graduations, he maintains just a touch of his former irreverence by steadfastly refusing to upgrade his ceremonial garb from the 1930-something robe given to him 35 years ago by an emeritus colleague and held together with staples and Velcro lovingly installed by its proud new owner. Much to the relief of this ol’ geezer’s colleagues, however, he shows no inclination whatsoever to bare his backside at commencement (cue faint strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” here), which has become, for him, a poignant reminder that whatever he may have managed to do for them, it is his students who have truly given him the best years of his life.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week. • indicates new review 2 GUNS (R) DEA Agent Bobby “Beans” Trench (Denzel Washington) and Navy Intelligence Officer Michael “Stig” Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) are two unlikely partners. When they unwittingly steal $43.125 million from a shadowy organization, represented by Earl (Bill Paxton), they must trust one another again to clear both their names. 2 Guns is loaded and hits the bull’s eye with every shot. THE ACT OF KILLING The former leaders of Indonesia’s death squads were responsible for the deaths of over a million alleged communists, intellectuals and Chinese after the military overthrow of 1965. This new documentary from Joshua Oppenheimer allows Anwar Congo and other mass murderers to recreate their crimes in the cinematic genre of their choice. This documentary captured a lot of Twitter buzz amongst hip genre filmmakers over the summer. (Ciné) COLLEGE KICKBOXERS 1992. Bad Movie Night returns to celebrate the movies that are so gleefully bad they have to be seen with a crowd (and alcohol) to be properly enjoyed. College Kickboxers sounds like The Karate Kid if Daniel-san hadn’t met Mr. Miyagi until freshman year. A college dude gets picked on by a racist gang. He learns kung fu from a Chinese cook. He must decide whether or not to enter a tournament or disappoint his teacher. (Ciné) THE CONJURING (R) Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) investigate the things that go bump in the night. The occurrences in the Perron family’s new house are not just paranormal; they’re malevolent. James Wan (Saw, Insidious) stages the Perron’s haunting with utmost care. From the font in the opening credits, the film harkens back to the ‘70s and places itself not as a wannabe, but as a peer next to such modern classics as The Amityville Horror and (dare I type it) The Exorcist. DESPICABLE ME 2 (PG) When a new super villain steals a dangerous, experimental serum, the Anti Villain League enlists former master criminal Gru’s (v. Steve Carell) assistance. Despicable Me 2 has no shot at surpassing expectations like its underdog predecessor, and its appeal to anyone over ten probably depends on one’s tolerance for the Minions, whose roles have been

enlarged with their own spinoff in the works for 2014. ELYSIUM (R) Science fiction offers a rich canvas upon which ambitious authors and filmmakers like Neill Blomkamp can point out the flaws in modern society via a far-off future. In 2154, the Earth has gone from third rock from the sun to third world. Orbiting in the skies above the planet is Elysium, where the wealthy live forever thanks to breakthroughs in medical technology. Tricked out with an exoskeleton that makes him stronger and nearly invincible, injured ex-con turned factory worker Max De Costa (Matt Damon) goes all Terminator until he gets to Elysium, run by ice-cold Defense Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster). FRUITVALE STATION (R) Fruitvale Station enters theaters having established quite a pedigree, picking up Sundance’s prestigious Grand Jury Prize plus the Best First Film Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Writerdirector Ryan Coogler based his feature debut on the real life events that occurred to Oscar Grant, played by “Friday Night Lights”’ Michael B. Jordan, on the last day of 2008. THE GRANDMASTER (PG-13) Popular world filmmaker Wong Kar Wai returns with his first action film since 1994’s Ashes of Time. He’s also tackling the legendary Ip Man, the Chinese martial artist who trained the iconic Bruce Lee. Frequent Wong Kar Wai collaborator Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Infernal Affairs) stars as Yip Man. The film also reunites Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s lovers, Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen. GIRL RISING Girl Rising spotlights the power of education through the stories of unforgettable girls like Sokha, an orphan who rises from the dumps of Cambodia to become a star student and an accomplished dancer; Suma, who composes music to help her endure forced servitude in Nepal and today crusades to free others; and Ruksana, an Indian “pavement-dweller” whose father sacrifices his own basic needs for his daughter’s dreams. Each girl is paired with a renowned writer from her native country who tells the girls’ stories.

tiny hometown, but rather than spend time with them, he mostly hangs out with his childhood besties. Grown Ups 2’s biggest accomplishment is how worthless it is. Argue all you want about what a great guy Sandler is, because at this point in his career you’ll find it impossible to convince someone he’s still funny, or better yet, relevant. THE HEAT (R) Uptight FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) needs the help of foulmouthed, unpopular Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) to take down a dangerous drug lord. Bullock and McCarthy don’t have Fey/Pohler chemistry. Nevertheless, enough cannot be said about how refreshing it is to watch a buddy cop comedy starring two women. The Heat may not be smoking, but after a barren first act, it’s pretty darn funny. I’M SO EXCITED (R) Almodovar is back! Three flight attendants lip sync and dance to The Pointer Sisters’ titular

has transitioned from Red Mist into the world’s first supervillain and is recruiting other baddies. The presence of Nick Cage is not missed, as Jim Carrey shines as former mob enforcer turned hero, Captain Stars and Stripes. Writerdirector Jeff Wadlow lacks Vaughan’s vision and talent, but Mark Millar’s colorful comic is just too much fun for Kick-Ass 2’s rough edges to matter. The movie would be more honestly titled Hit-Girl, as Moretz’s character is the true hero and Moretz the film’s real star. Talk about kicking some ass. THE KINGS OF SUMMER (R) This sweetly sour indie comedy didn’t quite become the biggest little hit of summertime, but the trailers show a lot of laughs and heart. A comedy friendly cast including husband and wife team, Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, and Alison Brie, cannot hurt, but how much will they help? Frustrated with life and their parents, three teenage boys (Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso and possible

Do you know what we do to people who don’t return their library books? hit, and that’s about it. Apparently, a technical failure has doomed the flight, leaving the pilots and crew to attempt everything in their power to make their passengers last moments as pleasant as possible. (Ciné) • JOBS (PG-13) Were this biopic of tech and cultural giant Steve Jobs airing on HBO, the movie and star Ashton Kutcher would be up for an Emmy. How such a small screen biography made it to the big screen is beyond my pay grade, but it’s unfortunate, because as Swing Vote director Joshua Michael Stern’s biopic goes on, Kutcher shows surprising talent, becoming less the former Mr. Demi Moore and more the visionary co-founder of Apple. It’s mostly focused on Jobs’ time (and failures) at Apple; don’t expect much insight into his personal life. As deep as Jobs gets is the not so shocking realization that Steve Jobs could be a major a-hole. Kutcher, who already resembles Jobs, really nails his speaking, mannerisms and gait. Anyone who hasn’t read Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs and wants a two-hour abridged account of the life it recounts will find some marginal benefit from this film. • KICK-ASS 2 (R) Original writerdirector Matthew Vaughan, who’s moved on to the X-franchise, is missed, but Kick-Ass 2 still charms in its vulgar, violent cinematic depiction of the MillarWorld. Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) again dons the togs of Kick-Ass, while Hit-Girl, aka Mindy Macready (Chloe Grace Moretz), tries to live the life of a normal fifteen-year-old girl. Meanwhile, Chris D’Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)

breakout Moises Arias) head into the woods to build a house and live off the land. (Ciné) • LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER (PG-13) I wonder if Lee Daniels now wished he’d followed up Precious with this crowd-pleasing slice of historical nostalgia, chronicling the major events of the second half of the 20th century through the eyes of White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forrest Whitaker). With its exceptional cast—Robin Williams, James Marsden, Liev Schreiber, John Cusack and Alan Rickman appear as Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Reagan—The Butler overcomes the natural tendency of such films to drift into sentimental nostalgia. Daniels never sugarcoats the Civil Rights Movement, especially impressive for its PG-13 rating. The Butler’s anecdotal narrative inevitably draws comparisons to Forrest Gump, but Daniels’ film is more complicated. Too bad the scenes of Gaines’ home life, dominated by Oprah as his unhappy wife, lack the strength of those set in the White House and the Deep South. (Note: The title was changed to Lee Daniels’ The Butler for reasons of copyright, not ego.) m THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES (PG-13) With both the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises finished, studios keep seeking a fantasy lit series to fill the considerable vacuum left behind. The cinematic adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s six novel series kicks off with City of Bones, in which Clary Fray (Lily Collins, Phil Collins’ daughter) learns about her family history after her

mother is kidnapped by demons. Yes, this world is filled with vampires and werewolves too. • PARANOIA (PG-13) This technothriller that will soon be as forgotten and outdated as The Net is notable for its cast alone. A tech hotshot, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth), is caught between feuding billionaires, Jock Goddard and Nicolas Wyatt (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman). The taste of the good life doesn’t outweigh the dangers faced by Adam’s friends, girlfriend (Amber Heard) and sick pops (Richard Dreyfus). The esteemed elder cast of this wannabe Wall Street gets little help from its young, bland lead (he’s a small step up from Taylor Lautner), generic screenplay and uninspired direction from 21’s Robert Luketic. The climactic “heist” is one of the most lamely shot and edited sequences perpetrated by any recent thriller. This flick is a paycheck movie for all its players, though Ford and Oldman strike sparks in their scenes together. Still, those brief exciting interludes are not worth any of a viewer’s paycheck. PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (PG) The titular hero, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman), must save Camp Half-Blood, the safe haven for the gods’ half-mortal children. Backed by his pals—Athena’s daughter Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) and his Cyclops half-brother, Tyson (Douglas Smith)—Percy must defeat bland villain Luke (Jake Abel), rescue satyr Grover (Brandon Jackson) from Polyphemus and defeat a reborn Cronos. This flick isn’t even worth the excuse to stare at Alexandra Daddario for almost two hours. Even the all right FX cannot overcome the awful writing and charmless acting, especially from Lerman. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters has almost surely sunk the chances of Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse ever seeing the light of day. PLANES (PG) What with its Cars pedigree and Dane Cook voicework, Planes could have been a lot worse. A cropduster named Dusty Crophopper (v. Cook) longs to race across the skies. Unfortunately, he’s afraid of heights. It’s cute, sweet, and maybe a smidge direct-to-DVD; the voice cast is a step below the usual Pixar crop. Kids that love Cars will not care and will most likely fall for Planes. What’s next? Ships? THE ROOM (R) The Room, from baffling “auteur” Tommy Wiseau, might be the Mona Lisa of bad movies; its greatness lies in its mysterious smile. The Room will leave you with so many questions that don’t need answering. Did Johnny and Lisa get married? What about Claudette’s cancer? Who uses a fake pregnancy bomb to spice up an uninteresting relationship? Why am I in a theater at one in the morning watching this strange, hysterical man vomit drama on the big screen? (Ciné) THE SMURFS 2 (PG) Gargamel (Hank Azaria, still ruining a great cartoon villain) creates some fake Smurfs—he calls them Naughties. Vexy (v. Christina Ricci) and Hackus (v. J.B. Smoove) are an un-Smurf-like gray, so Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette (v. Katy Perry), who holds the secret to turning the Naughties blue. Sadly, Smurfette is an easier target than usual as the birthday girl feels forgotten by the rest of her blue brethren. (She’s the only girl; no blue-blooded Smurf ever

forgets Smurfette.) Maybe the kids will be entertained again, but the illogical trip to Paris, where Gargamel has become a big celebrity magician, will flummox adults. THE SPECTACULAR NOW (R) Local filmmaker James Ponsoldt (if you haven’t seen his previous features, Off the Black or Smashed, see them both immediately) adapts Tim Tharp’s novel about a hard partying high school senior (Miles Teller) and the different, “nice” girl (Woodley) for whom he falls. This movie filmed some scenes at Clarke Central last August. The movie’s female lead, The Descendant’s Shailene Woodley, is on the verge of a Jennifer Lawrence level breakout with the upcoming Divergent. (Ciné) STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (PG-13) Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) leads the crew of the Starship Enterprise after a rogue Federation operative (Benedict Cumberbatch) turns terrorist. This sequel achieves Khan-like greatness. TURBO (PG) After a first act highlighted by endearing animation and stellar voice work from Ryan Reynolds and Paul Giamatti, Turbo gets stupid, as the main mollusk is imbued with the abilities of a car after a freak accident involving a street racer and some nitrous. Turbo and his other racing snail pals head to the Indy 500, where they will face off against defending champion Guy Gagne (v. Bill Hader). Turbo will mostly appeal to those kiddies for whom Cars has run out of gas. THE WAY, WAY BACK (PG-13) This coming of age comedy stars Liam James as Duncan, who negotiates a summer with his mom (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend (Steve Carell) by getting a job at a local water park, where he is befriended by its odd owner (Sam Rockwell). WE’RE THE MILLERS (R) After running afoul of his drug kingpin pal (Ed Helms), Dave (Jason Sudeikis) must smuggle a smidge that turns out to be a lot more than a smidge of marijuana across the border. Dave hatches a brilliant plan to fake a family with stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), runaway teen Casey (Emma Roberts) and virginal Kenny (Will Poulter). Everything works out great until he runs into a swell DEA agent and his wife (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) and the big-time Mexican drug lord to whom the weed really belongs to catches up with them. THE WOLVERINE (PG-13) A darker, more complicated hero than Marvel’s super-bankable Iron Man and Spider-Man, Wolvie poses a narrative difficulty. After the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Logan has shed his Wolverine persona to live a solitary life in the woods. However, the last request of a dying friend whisks the clawed one off to Japan. THE WORLD’S END (R) Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have finally returned to complete their Three Flavours Cornetto (or “Blood and Ice Cream”) trilogy. A gaggle of British faves—Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Campbell, Patty Considine and Eddie Marsan—play a pack of pals attempting a legendary pub crawl and winding up fighting off an alien invasion. I loved Shaun of the Dead, really liked Hot Fuzz, and cannot wait for The World’ End. YOU’RE NEXT (R) The buzz for Adam Wingard’s (A Horrible Way to Die) latest mumblegore feature rivals the July horror hit, The Conjuring. A family reunion turns violent, but the pack of hunters finds the tables turned. The cast includes Sharni Vinson (Step Up 3D), Aimee Seimetz, AJ Bowen (a Tasty World bartender for several years) and filmmakers Joe Swanberg (Drinking Buddies) and Ti West (House of the Devil, The Innkeepers). Drew Wheeler

The band tanked pretty dramatically in the ‘90s, but you might be surprised to learn it’s still going at it nearly 12 years after lead singer Stuart Adamson’s tragic suicide. In 2010, a reunited Big Country recruited vocalist Mike Peters of legendary Welsh rockers The Alarm. The move reinvigorated the band, which released The Journey, its first album in almost 15 years, this past April. [Gabe Vodicka]

Chapter 3. All the Young Dudes

the things Casey initially found most puzzling about this group was their propensity to dress like middle-aged dads, even though none of them were over 25. Beer cans and Chick-Fil-A wrappers covered the coffee table. Great smears of mud and spilled drinks streaked the white carpet like a Jackson Pollock painting. “What’s up, hipster?” Alex greeted Casey between puffs on a giant cigar. He was five-foot-four, rail-thin and asthmatic, with severe allergies and a goofy, ferrety-looking face, and had finished his first year of law school near the bottom of his class, yet he was one of the most arrogant people Casey had ever met. It hadn’t taken him long to figure it out—Alex was rich. Interestingly, Casey had not guessed that about his friend, Alex’s brother. “Get a job yet?” “No,” Casey said with a scowl. Alex’s friends gaped at him. “I don’t know why anyone would move to a shitty place like Athens if they didn’t have to,” Alex mused as Casey headed down the hall to his room. “He came here from Chicago!” he said incredulously.

riving to Georgia on his own in August, after three seemingly interminable months of working construction in his hometown, was surreal. Casey had never traveled that far on his own before, though he’d taken road trips with friends, and he hadn’t been to the South at all. It made him feel like a real adult in a way that even graduating from college hadn’t. He slept in cheap hotels and listened to music and thought about all the things he was going to do in his new life. He ordered whiskey at bars and had long conversations with strange characters, which he wrote down in his notebook before going to sleep. He came in on 316 late at night, with Atlas Sound on the car stereo and the windows Casey’s bedroom, a tall guy with huge calves wearing open to let in the light, rainy breeze and the scent of the a lavender button-down and a UGA visor was browsing pines.
