Art, OK!, Ethics & Harold Harold Update Everybody’s favorite saxophone-playing CPA Harold Williams has returned to Shepherd Center in Atlanta to get himself built back up after losing 40 pounds as a result of a kidney infection. While he was sick with the infection, Harold missed a lot of physical therapy, so the conclusion was that he should go back to Shepherd and get a fresh start. Just in case you don’t know by now, last fall Harold had a freak accident in his office that broke his neck and paralyzed him. After several months at Shepherd, during which he made friends with all the staff and all the other patients, Harold came home just before Christmas. Through all this trauma, he has remained his caring, wisecracking, upbeat self, just as he was on the telephone the day before he went back to Shepherd. It is perhaps appropriate that you are reading this right at the income-tax deadline, for that’s the time (except for us procrastinators) when everybody turned to Harold for help. Of course, as we have all learned over the years, his firm, Williams and Guined, has a super staff of highly capable folks who have taken up the slack caused by Harold’s injury. Here’s hoping it won’t be long before Harold can at least put in some time enjoying visiting with clients at W&G, while other people do the work.

Meanwhile, friends of Harold Williams are holding a golf tournament May 5 at the UGA course to raise money to help buy Harold a van, so he can get around. You can sign up by calling Charlie Maddox at 706-340-4321 before Apr. 25.

You know how much Harold enjoys hearing from you. So, send him a card: Harold Williams, Room #418, Shepherd Center, 2020 Peachtree Rd. NW, Atlanta, GA 30309-1465.

That’s OK! Do yourself a favor, and go see Town & Gown Players’ Oklahoma! during its final run Thursday through Sunday this week. You’ve heard the music all your life, and it’s just pure pleasure to sit back and watch it sung and played and danced right in front of you by real, live singing and dancing actors, accompanied by a tight, peppy band right there on the stage.

The plot is ridiculous, but who cares? It’s just a loose framework for the Rodgers and Hammerstein songs, which are practically non-stop, and almost every one of them imbedded in your musical DNA. A lot of people still don’t realize that going to the theater here is just like going to the clubs, except that you can sit down. You can wear whatever you want, and you can go to the theater and still be out before the bands start playing: double your pleasure, double your fun. Just call 706-208 TOWN for a good time, or go to townandgownplayers.org.

That’s Art! Do yourself another favor, while you’re at it. Be sure to drop

by Claire and Bob Clements. Don’t be late for a movie, because Bob’s paintings of fields and Claire’s cut-paper paintings of flowers will stop you in your tracks. This small but exquisite exhibit by the talented and prolific couple (see Bob’s new sculpture at the ACC Library and his paintings in the Lyndon House show) is up through May 6.

A Victory for Ethics You have no doubt heard by now that a Fulton County jury found that the former director of the state ethics commission was forced out of her job because she tried to subpoena Gov. Nathan Deal’s campaign finance records. In a stunning verdict, the jury awarded Stacey Kalberman $700,000 plus attorney’s fees and court costs, while finding that the governor’s office was directly involved in having her fired to stop the ethics investigation. This kind of piercing the veil of backroom politics almost never happens in Georgia, and this case has a direct tie to Athens. The law firm that took on this whistleblower case is headed by Grady Thrasher IV, son of retired Atlanta lawyer Grady Thrasher III, who grew up in Athens and came back here after retirement to become—along with his wife, Kathy Prescott—a canny activist for good causes. Like father, like son.

ensure an ethical conservative is on the top of the ticket.”

Carter, the Democratic nominee, had his say. “We need leaders we can trust to put Georgia citizens ahead of their own personal gain, and we need an ethics commission that is free to do its job without fear of this sort of politically motivated retaliation.”

There is also another whistleblower lawsuit on the way to trial that was filed by Kalberman’s chief investigator, Sherilyn Streicker—which means the story could be played out in court again during the upcoming campaigns. I was one of the reporters who covered the ethics commission meetings back in 2011 when the fates of Kalberman and Streicker were decided. It appeared to me then that this was an instance where an elected official’s supporters were trying to kill an investigation that might be politically harmful to that official. The jury obviously agreed with that interpretation. The ethics commission members certainly killed the investigation, but in doing so they touched off a long legal proceeding that is still unfolding in Fulton County Superior Court, much to Deal’s detriment.

The jury verdict has seriously wounded Deal, but this is a wound that was largely selfinflicted. If Deal had conceded three years ago that his campaign made some mistakes, and if he had agreed to pay a fine of $30,000 or so to settle the matter, no one would have lost their job and no lawsuit would have been filed. There would have been no embarrassing trial with all of its damaging disclosures and the matter would have been out of the public eye by now. Instead, Deal has handed his critics a big club that they can use to beat on him constantly between now and election day.

What looked like a smooth path to Deal’s reelection a couple of months ago suddenly became a lot rockier.

Within minutes after a Fulton County jury returned a devastating verdict against the state last week, Gov. Nathan Deal’s aides were trying to put their own spin on the story.

Deal wasn’t the one, they said, who had forced the ethics commission director out of her job while she was trying to investigate complaints filed against Deal’s 2010 campaign for governor. It’s not his fault that the state is now on the hook to pay Stacey Kalberman nearly $1 million because of the verdict in that lawsuit. (The jury awarded her $700,000 in damages plus attorney’s fees and court costs.) This was merely “an internal dispute between former employees and former commissioners,” said the governor’s office.

“Who the commission employed as staff had no relevance to the Deal for governor case.”

I know they won’t listen to me, but I’ll offer some advice to the governor’s staffers: Don’t waste your time trying to spin this. Kalberman and her chief investigator were forced out of their jobs when they tried to investigate complaints filed against the Deal campaign. They lost their jobs because of actions taken by an ethics commission whose majority is appointed by the governor. No matter what Deal’s people say, the average voter isn’t going to believe that the governor’s fingerprints weren’t all over this.

Shortly after the bombshell verdict came down, state school Supt. John Barge was demanding that Deal withdraw from the Republican primary (where he is opposed

by Barge and former Dalton Mayor David Pennington). “The governor is in the middle of all this mess,” Barge said. “It is time for the governor to step aside, settle for one term and let us get Georgia back on track.”

Pennington was next: “Nathan Deal’s abuses of power, ethics flaws, and strong-arm, good old boy politics no longer have a place in our state. If we Republicans actually want to defeat Jason Carter this November, we must

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ APRIL 9, 2014

This is the fifth installment in a series of articles by University of Georgia College of Environment and Design professor Jack Crowley. In this series, Crowley explains the downtown Athens master plan effort that his team generated to guide development downtown.

T

his series now focuses on the light rail transit proposal as part of the downtown master plan, and it will be a background to set the stage for more detailed discussion later. It’s a tough topic, because most people will skeptically discount the idea of passenger rail the minute they hear the words “passengers� and “trains.� I’ve had years of experience in transportation development, a number of them as director of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, and any form of evolution away from big cars on big highways is always controversial.

First, there are two separate passenger rail opportunities related to Athens. One is getting to Atlanta from Athens (commuter rail, often called the “Brain Train�). The Atlanta–Athens passenger rail has long been debated, and an earlier effort was made to have it in place for the Athens Olympic venues in 1996. The subject was further complicated last year by a study of five alternative intercity high-speed rail routes between Atlanta and Charlotte, NC. Two of the five alternatives would serve Athens—but more about that later.

The second opportunity is a local light rail that would run from the downtown Multimodal Center down the length of the University of Georgia campus. This route could provide access to and from downtown for tens of thousands of students, faculty, staff and visitors.

The decision to develop this transportation option lies beyond the Downtown Master Plan, largely because only a quarter-mile of the initially proposed segment of twoand-a-half miles lies within downtown. It will require the university’s approval and participation and will involve land they don’t own.

Focusing on this local segment is more important than focusing on the connection to Atlanta, though, because the feasibility of the latter is in part contingent on the existence of the former. Introducing an alternative longer-range form of transportation makes it dependent on the ability of its passengers to get to their local destinations after getting off of it. Since downtown and campus collectively have the most destinations and population densities in the region, local rail service should most logically start there. MARTA is beginning to do a decent job of giving commuters options on the other end. Local light rail is also a much smaller and less expensive project that would have a better chance of realization.

Another bigger picture consideration is that experts in determining the feasibility for developing rail transit will focus on potential ridership, and that means urban density. The threshold is generally seen as densities in the range of 15 residential units per acre, and Athens is less than half of that. It’s also widely held that lowdensity urban areas are not cost-effective in providing good urban services, and that higher-densities are better. The automobile form of transportation is not capable of encouraging those densities. Fixed guideway (rail) passenger transit does encourage higher densities. A more progressive argument, then, is that we need to develop rail transit to encourage the more cost-effective densities, rather than wait around for them to happen with cars or not at all.

That particular argument is made moot by understanding that a much more dense development already exists and already justifies rail transit in Athens. Its educated demographic of students, faculty, staff and research scientists is also an ideal target ridership. It’s also a demographic used to an existing but slower form of bus transit. The built-up part of the UGA campus that abuts downtown is roughly one square mile (640 acres). Its daytime population approaches more than 40,000 people, a density in one small area that rivals Boston or Chicago. There are 10 million boardings on the UGA bus system per year, another statistic that falls well within the ridership level justifying rail. This is true even projecting that only half of that ridership might be captured by a rail service that would transect the full length of the oblong-shaped campus.

Keep in mind that the Norfolk & Southern Railroad owns the track and its right-of-way. They have often said that while a local short-line operator railroad (the Hartwell Railroad Co.) leases the line for occasional freight operations, they might like to keep it as a potential freight corridor to bypass future congestion in Atlanta. That should be a bit frightening to the bucolic UGA campus.

It’s also been known to be for sale, not as a short segment, making the rest of the track useless, but as a 38-mile length between Center, a small town north of Athens, and Madison.

The acquisition price is likely less than $10 million, and many attempts to convince the state Department of Transportation to buy it over the past 20 years have failed. Hartwell Railroad is presently attempting to purchase it, and they have mentioned the potential for a partnership. Ironically, they transport coal to the UGA Central Plant, and the possible switch to another type of fuel may well change the freight-rail landscape.

Local purchase in one form or another will allow a bicycle/ pedestrian corridor to parallel the relatively flat course of the railroad, and improvements on the rail portions of the corridor should always include the specifications for freight as freight rail transportation will be an important part of our economic future.

Bringing The Big Easy to Athens!

There’s always been the criticism that transit rail requires subsidies. So does highway transportation. What sort of tax structures do you think it takes to keep fuel costs at rates half of European prices? Local streets are maintained and often built by local taxes.

Finally, a big frustration with passenger rail startups has always been our failure to realize that when the day comes that fuel costs and highway congestion cause us to begin to believe that we need an alternative, it will take 10–15 years to get the new form of transportation in place. We won’t be able to get in line for federal startup funds then, because many cities are already in line, and the wait will add another five years or so.

So, at great risk to my personal reputation and for good and logical reasons, I say we need to start planning to implement light rail transit now, and yes, it should fall in the 20-year window of our Downtown Master Plan.

observations ACC to Close Whitehall Road Athens-Clarke County plans to close Whitehall Road between the Middle Oconee River and Milledge Avenue for several months in the summer of 2015, altering the flow of traffic into and out of Oconee County via Simonton Bridge Road. Traffic probably will be rerouted along U.S. Highway 441 and Old Macon Highway to Milledge Avenue. “The impact on Oconee County will likely mostly center on drastically increased volume on Old Macon Highway,� said Emil Beshara, head of the Oconee County Public Works Department. “It is unavoidable and temporary, so I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal.�

The Athens-Clarke County Commission approved the roadway improvement Tuesday, Apr. 1. It will level out a hill that impedes sight lines.

Three Candidate Forums in April Oconee County citizens will have at least three opportunities in April to put questions in open meetings to the five candidates seeking two spots on the Oconee County Board of Commissioners.

The Oconee County Republican Party is holding the first of three scheduled forums on Thursday, Apr. 17 from 6–8 p.m. at the Watkinsville Community Center, 191 VFW Drive. The Oconee County Chamber of Commerce has scheduled its candidate forum for Tuesday, Apr. 22 from 6–8 p.m. at the Civic Center, 2661 Hog Mountain Road. The third forum, organized by citizens, will be held on Wednesday, Apr. 23 from 7–9 p.m. at the Oconee County Library, 1080 Experiment Station Road in Watkinsville.

Water, Sewer Rate Hikes Proposed Water and sewer customers in Oconee County will pay about 3 percent more in fees starting July 1 if the Board of Commissioners approves the budget request presented by Utility Department Director Chris Thomas earlier this month.

The water rate increase would be the seventh in as many years, and the sewer rate increase would be the sixth in six years.

Thomas told the Board the rate increases were the minimum he could ask for and feels “barely comfortable� that he can meet expenses if they are approved. Those expenses include an increase of 8.5 percent in debt service, including a more than doubling of debt payments for the Hard Labor Creek Regional Reservoir now under construction in Walton County.

SPLOST Vote Moved to November Oconee County commissioners on Tuesday, Mar. 25 agreed to a new schedule for the 2015 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax referendum, setting up public hearings in June and July that will lead up to a vote on Nov. 4. The schedule calls for the board of commissioners to vote Aug. 5 on the final list of projects to be funded by the SPLOST. Prior to that vote, the commissioners are to hold a work session on July 2 to reach agreement on SPLOST funding priorities. Commissioner John Daniell asked that the commissioners meet before the public hearings on July 30 and July 14 to resolve issues among them about how to address courthouse safety and requests from a number of department heads. BOC Chairman Melvin Davis suggested the board take up those matters at its regular meetings on May 27 and June 3.

Boybutante’s All Grown Up

(L–R) “Shirtless Intern” Daniel, Ming Vase Dynasty, Portia De Bossi, Jaqueline Daniels, Lacie Bruce, and “Shirtless Intern” Phillip

I

t’s a little disappointing and honestly kind of baffling that there isn’t a gay bar in Athens right now. Not only does our city sit adjacent to the Southern gay mecca of Atlanta, but we host the Boybutante Ball, one of the premier drag events in the Southeast and a major fundraiser for the nonprofit AIDS Athens. This year’s ball, the 25th, is coming up Saturday, Apr. 12.

Given its current stature, Boybutante’s humble beginnings are a little surprising as well. The first ball in 1989 was the equivalent of a “house party,” as Corey Johnson—a board member and unofficial historian of the Boybutante AIDS Foundation—describes it.

Now it has grown into an extravaganza that fills the 40 Watt Club each year, along with a week’s worth of related events that draw performers and attendees from all over the country—including a drag competition Thursday, Apr. 10 at Little Kings Shuffle Club and a brunch at the Taylor-Grady House Sunday, Apr. 13. The theme this year is based on Back to the Future, so it’s as good a time as any to remember when the Boybutante queens first kicked up their heels.

Not Just for Boys The performers this year will be diverse, though at first Boybutante was essentially, well, a boy’s club. The first ball was all queens, because there really wasn’t a scene for kings (women who dress as men) anywhere near Athens. Now, there’s a large king community in Athens that might just rival the size of the queen community in town. The Classic City Kings typically do a group number at the ball, and a few of their members have done solo performances.

There’s also a good representation of classic Betty Page-style burlesque and campy

striptease performers who are represented in the Boybutante family. The group intentionally recruited women after a few years, and now they regularly have people of all gender expressions represented both on stage and behind the scenes. Effie’s Follies, the local burlesque troupe, will be performing at the ball, and Effie’s member Dee Flowered is one of the Boybutante AIDS Foundation’s newest board members.

“Back when I was originally a board member in the late ‘90s, we didn’t have any female performers,” Johnson says. “We began intentionally recruiting women to become actively involved.”

People involved in Boybutante, from volunteers to board members, run the gamut of lifestyles—lawyers, straight people, gay people who don’t do drag, working professionals, local artists. “We’ve always been intentional about diversity,” says AIDS Athens board member and fundraising chairman Yancey Gulley, who was involved with Boybutante for many years. “We want anyone and everyone to feel welcome and to see themselves reflected on the stage.”

The performers are just as diverse in their stage personae as the people who work behind the scenes. For example, Gulley describes Boybutante co-founder and performer Coretta Scott Queen’s character as being “high church”—lots of napkin-waving and Mahalia Jackson numbers, undoubtedly.

“It’s hard to believe that it’s been 25 years,” Queen says. “I remember sitting on someone’s living room floor with a cocktail in hand, listening to someone say: ‘Let’s throw a ball!’ And what a ball it has been.”

Queen is one of the founders of the original Boybutante Committee and still holds fundraisers in both Washington, DC, and Provincetown, MA, to benefit Boybutante and AIDS Athens. She holds an annual Purse Party

in P-town that has raised more than $5,500 dollars so far, and on last year’s invitation to the event, she wrote, “If I put on heels, a dress and a wig, [the] tips are going to charity.”

Then there’s the likely return of The Sucrets, a drag troupe who have not performed together in 15 years. The performer known as Wild Cherry Sucret has become well-known in Atlanta and surrounding areas for her drag performances both solo and with the Armorettes, and she credits the “Boyball,” as those who are in the know like to call it, with starting her career.

“Boybutante is where I first started my volunteer work with AIDS support services,” Sucret says. “Since 1995, I have been dedicated to raising money for Boyball while living in Athens as well as now in Atlanta. As long as there is a need, I will always help.”

To perform at the Boyball is “coveted,” as Gulley describes it. Performing is by invitation only, though there is always a spot open for their volunteer of the year (crowned with the title Miss Bogart) and for the winner of Dragstar Galactica, an annual competition at Little Kings. “Kings and queens bring their best performances because they want a spot on that Saturday night stage,” Johnson says.

A Good Cause Oh yeah, it isn’t all clear heels and lipsyncing—every dollar goes to a good cause, and it’s been that way from the beginning.

“When this started 25 years ago, it was just a drag show to raise money,” Gulley explains.

“It was gonna be a one-off thing… and it has perpetuated.”

In 1990, events were added leading up to the annual drag ball becoming what they call “Boyball Week.” Each year, more and more

events were added to that week-long schedule, and eventually the organization began to have fundraisers throughout the year.

By 1996, the event’s popularity had snowballed to the point that the Boybutante Committee was incorporated into the nonprofit Boybutante AIDS Foundation. The events run year-round now, from the Back To School party to the Boo-butante Halloween party to Christmas in July, and every event is sponsored by members of the community, from businesses to individuals, with all the energy being funneled towards the annual Boyball.

It’s tempting to assume that an event like this is all about makeup and tucking and wigs and heels, but Johnson and Gulley make it clear that the real focus of the Boybutante AIDS Foundation is raising funds for AIDS services organization. AIDS Athens uses the money to provide free HIV screening and to help people with AIDS with their housing.

“We see housing as health care,” Gulley says. “People who are HIV positive are three times more likely to be homeless or underhoused, and for various reasons. One reason is that the medications are very expensive, and when you get on the medications it can take up to three months to acclimate to those meds. For at least one of those months, often they cannot work because of what their body is going through, and most of us can’t afford to miss work for a month. If we can keep you housed, then it’s more likely you’ll take your medications, which makes it more likely that you’ll stay healthy, which makes it more likely that your viral load will go down, which makes it more likely that you’ll make good lifestyle choices, which makes it less likely that you’ll pass the virus on to someone else.”

Finding sponsors is probably the board’s biggest challenge, and AIDS Athens needs all the support it can get. “We literally could not function, and our doors would shut if

the state ranked eighth in the cumulative number of AIDS cases since the start of the epidemic in the 1980s.

not for donations from organizations like Boybutante,� Gulley says, though he and Johnson both agree that Athens is remarkably supportive of the organization for being a relatively small town. “Athens really is a progressive community for the state of Georgia, but we’re also a college town, so people ask a lot of our businesses,� Johnson says. “So we do a lot of revisiting of regular sponsors and find new sponsors.�

Funds raised at the first Boyball were once split between a couple of local charities, but now they work solely with AIDS Athens and provide the largest donation of flexible funds available to the organization, which also receives government grants earmarked for specific programs like housing.

Sponsorship levels run the gamut of platinum, gold and silver, but there is also a $25 donation level that is specifically designed to be accessible to the public, and this level of donation can be made either to the organization directly or at Dynamite Clothing on Jackson Street. A donation of $25 gets the benefactor a limited-edition button that’s been designed specifically for the Boybutante silver anniversary, but any size donation is always welcome and encouraged.

Technical talk aside, Johnson stresses that fun is just as important as the fundraising

Spreading the Word

Craig Gum

The jubilant and fun-loving nature of burlesque and drag culture does a lot to dismantle the stigma around charity work related to HIV and AIDS. People who might not ordinarily attend or work with an event like this might come out for the Boyball just to see some queens and have a few drinks, but in the end they will have donated all of those dollars to AIDS services.

One example is an event from the past coined Divas on Wheels, where one of the drag queens would crash a local straight bar and do a “pop-up� performance out of nowhere. “That brings visibility [of the gay community and AIDS services] to a community that wouldn’t ordinarily have access to it,� Johnson says.

They don’t do Divas on Wheels anymore, but it was the origin for Beer-butante, a drag show last month at Terrapin Brewery. “So here you have a bunch of fraternity guys sitting and enjoying Yasmine Alexander Terrapin’s brew,� Johnson says, “and suddenly there are four drag queens in front of them performing and sending the message about safe sex, AIDS Athens and getting tested to guys who might have never seen a drag queen before. And in all honesty, the reaction is almost always positive in that regard. That’s doing the mission of AIDS Athens, the mission of Boybutante, and accessing a community that might not otherwise seek us out.�

Memories like those stick with people in the Boybutante community. Another of Johnson’s favorites is watching Gulley perform as his alter ego BeYancey for the first time, when he was crowned Miss Bogart.

Gulley cherishes private happy hours only for sponsors and both old and new board members. It’s an opportunity for him to catch up with with old friends and be reminded of the strength, diversity and aspect, and they pretty much go hand-incloseness of his community. He uses the hand. A well known tradition of drag perforSouthern expression “old home week,� a term mances is tipping the queens and kings, and often used to describe a church homecoming. it’s not unheard of for performers to pull in a “If you’ve ever lived here and you went to really nice haul from a show.

movie dope drew’s reviews CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (PG-13) Cap (Chris

 Evans) returns in his second solo outing, and it’s a slight improvement

over the first, a definitively middle-of-the-pack Marvel movie. As an agent of SHIELD, Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, must adjust to his new reality and save the world, regularly. When seeds of distrust are sewn amongst members of SHIELD, Cap has to figure out if he can trust anyone, including Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) or new pal Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Cap’s transition to the modern world gets even more complicated once a new enemy, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), turns out to be an old acquaintance. Captain America: The Winter Soldier redefines the Marvel Universe more than any of the previous features. Its effects will be felt from Avengers: Age of Ultron to ABC’s “Agents of Shield.”

Credit new directors Anthony and Joe Russo (“Community”) with a lighter, more action-oriented Cap, but this series will always lack the vivacious spark Robert Downey Jr. brings to Iron Man. Kicking off the summer season earlier than ever, a big, more-fun-than-not comic book movie is what we’ve been waiting all winter for, right?

DIVERGENT (PG-13) In a dystopian future Chicago, humanity is divided into five factions. Right before Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) is to choose the faction in which she’ll spend the rest of her life, the teenager learns she is Divergent, whatever that means.

After a grueling initiation during which she makes a love connection with the studly instructor, Four (Theo James), Tris learns that her perfect society and all Divergents are under attack. The movie distills 500 pages of plot into a pretty decent two-plus-hour flick as scripters Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor smartly eschew Tris’ inner monologues, save for her opening and closing thoughts. Burger excels at sci-fi (see Limitless) and the casting is spot on. Bring on Insurgent.

DRAFT DAY (PG-13) Kevin Costner as an underdog in a sports movie?

I’m more excited than I should be, especially considering director Ivan Reitman’s recent track record (No Strings Attached? My Super Ex-Girlfriend?). Costner stars as Sonny Weaver, the general manager for the Cleveland Browns, who must decide whom to select after trading for the

12

number-one pick in the NFL Draft.

With Jennifer Garner, Frank Langella, Ellen Burstyn and loads of ESPN/NFL cameos (think Chris Berman and Deion Sanders).

FRESH LOOK CHILDREN’S INTL FILM FESTIVAL The fifth edition of the “Fresh Look” Athens International Film Festival for Children and Youth includes animation, documentaries and fiction films to introduce youngsters to the world of international independent cinema. The films come from Argentina, Belgium, Canada, England, Estonia, France, Germany, Latvia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. Part of Ciné’s seventh anniversary celebration. (Ciné) GOD’S NOT DEAD (PG) In this Christian feature, a college student, Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper, “Good Luck Charlie”), has his faith challenged by a philosophy professor (Kevin Sorbo, best known as TV’s Hercules) who does not believe in the existence of God. TV’s Superman, Dean Cain, costars, while Christian popsters Newsboys and two of “Duck Dynasty”’s Robertsons, Willie and Korie, provide cameos. Director Harold Cronk’s three previous features (Ever heard of The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure? Me neither.) sound pretty small-screen.

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (R) See Movie Pick. (Ciné) JOE (R) After his last film, Prince Avalanche, David Gordon Green seems to be sticking with independent cinema again after a run of drugged-out comedies, Pineapple Express, Your Highness and The Sitter. Nicolas Cage stars as ex-con Joe Ransom, who befriends a teenage boy played by Tye Sheridan of Mud. A quick glance at this movie would lead one to make more than a few comparisons to Mud. Winner of two awards at the Venice Film Festival.

THE LEGO MOVIE (PG) When generic construction mini-figure Emmet (v. Chris Pratt) gets up in the morning, he follows the day’s instructions as handed down by president/ overlord Business (v. Will Ferrell).

Soon, Emmet gets involved with a Matrix-ian rebel group led by Vitruvius (v. Morgan Freeman), a pretty mini-fig who goes by Wildstyle (v. Elizabeth Banks) and her BF, Batman (v. Will Arnett). The LEGO Movie uses its licenses (D.C., Star Wars, The Lord of

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ APRIL 9, 2014

the Rings) smartly as it argues for the salvation of creativity. This film, which should battle for the year’s best animated film come the next awards cycle, reconstructs the greatest childhood movie memories from the building blocks that best defined the young and not-yet-so-old generation.

MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN (PG) Mr. Peabody and Sherman get much better feature film treatment than their cartoon pals Rocky and Bullwinkle. The super smart canine, Mr. Peabody (v.

Ty Burrell, “Modern Family”), and his adopted son, Sherman (v. Max Charles, young Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man), travel back in time via Peabody’s WABAC machine. The duo meet Marie Antoinette, King Tut, Leonardo da Vinci (v. Stanley Tucci), Mona Lisa (v. Lake Bell) and other historical luminaries as they try to right the wrongs perpetrated against the space-time continuum. The historical gags are a hit, though the dramatic narrative is structured too familiarly.

MUPPETS MOST WANTED (PG) Somewhere between the plots of The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan lies Muppets Most Wanted. After the success of their reunion, the Muppets embark on a

movie takes a while to reach its top speed, as small-town race car driver Tobey Marshall (Paul) establishes his bonafides. Once released from prison for a crime for which he was only tangentially responsible, Tobey drives his way into an exclusive underground race called the Deleon, mostly to seek revenge against real bad guy and professional race car driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But who am I kidding, wasting so much space on a plot synopsis? What potential viewers of Need for Speed need to know is the cars are fast, exotic and well-shot by director Scott Waugh (Act of Valor).

NOAH (PG-13) Russell Crowe (no actor is more comfortable in the past than this guy) effectively grimaces and growls as the man chosen by the Creator to save the animal kingdom from a world-cleansing flood in Darren Aronofsky’s foreboding take on this beloved children’s bible story. Opening with a summary emphasizing the mythic, Noah establishes a harsh, sci-fi pre-apocalypse for Noah and his family. After a visit with his ancient grandfather, Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins), Noah begins the decade-long task of building his ark, while giant stone creatures (one recognizably voiced by Nick

That felt like more than a fart… world tour on the advice of their new manager, Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais, as impish as ever). But when the World’s Most Dangerous Frog, Constantine, replaces Kermit, the world tour becomes a globe-hopping heist to steal the crown jewels. It being a Muppets movie, expect oddball movie callbacks and celebrities to pop up in the most random of cameos. The three human leads—Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell—are great foils for the Muppets. Bret McKenzie, one half of Flight of the Conchords, supplies a couple of show-stopping numbers, but just a few years later, I cannot remember anything he wrote for 2011’s The Muppets. Come to think of it, as immediately engaging as the familyfriendly movie is, it mostly pointed out just how unmemorable its 2011 predecessor ultimately was. The Muppets always entertain, but this adventure isn’t timeless.

NEED FOR SPEED (PG-13) Whether the moviegoing world wanted one or not, Fast & Furious now has a competitor in outlandish car chase franchises. Need for Speed, based on the Electronic Arts series of racing video games, stars Aaron Paul in his first major headlining gig post“Breaking Bad,” and it’s fast enough to win the box office race, if nothing else. The way-too-generously-plotted

Nolte) protect his family from the evil men led by Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone).

When the flood epically arrives amidst a massive battle, an hour remains to reveal what happens when one family’s cruise goes way too long. As expected, Aronofsky visually stuns, but his film’s most insidious brilliance might be how fantastically fanciful it makes this ancient tale.

NON-STOP (PG-13) Liam Neeson stars as Bill Marks, a U.S. Air Marshal receiving threatening texts “on a secure network” (oooh) demanding $150 million, or someone will die every 20 minutes. Neeson is joined by a big-name co-star, Julianne Moore, and several recognizable bit players like Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o, Michelle “Lady Mary” Dockery and Scoot McNairy; however, the real co-star is the claustrophobic, transparent setting.

Besides the lavatories and the cockpit, everything takes place in the various cabins of the transatlantic flight. (None of that cargo-hold crap resorted to by other plane-trapped protagonists.)

A more than serviceable whodunit, Non-Stop should please the millions of mystery fans as well as those moviegoers feeling there are more asses Neeson needs to kick.

OCULUS (R) Karen Gillan, one of the Doctor’s prettiest companions, gets a shot headlining a movie as a

young woman, Kaylie Russell, trying to get her convicted murderer brother (Brenton Thwaites, soon to be seen in Maleficent and The Giver) exonerated by proving a ghost did it. The trailer has some intriguingly creepy moments (e.g. Gillan chomping on a light bulb rather than an apple). Writer-director Mike Flanagan’s previous feature, Absentia, impressed. With Katee “Starbuck” Sackhoff.

ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (R) Jim Jarmusch returns for his first film since 2009’s The Limits of Control.

His latest, an offbeat romantic horror movie, stars Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton and The Avengers’ Tom Hiddleston as two vampires that have been in love for centuries. The impressive cast also includes Anton Yelchin, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt and Jeffrey Wright. Broken Flowers did not signal Jarmusch’s ascent into the mainstream as some assumed. Can Hiddleston do what Bill Murray could not? l THE RAILWAY MAN (R) Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Stellan Skarsgard star in a true story of World War II from The Weinstein Company, and it didn’t receive an awards-eligible release. That’s worrying. During WWII, Eric Lomax (Jeremy Irvine) was a tortured Japanese POW on the “Death Railway.” Years later, Lomax (now played by Firth) attempts to exorcise his demons by confronting a Japanese officer (Hiroyuki Sanada). Director Jonathan Teplitzky’s film is based on the autobiography written by Lomax.

RIO 2 (G) Blu (v. Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (v. Anne Hathaway) and the three kids leave the wilds of Rio de Janeiro for the real wilds of the Amazon, where Blu must battle his father-in-law (v.

Andy Garcia). I don’t recall caring that much for the first trip to Rio, though it could have been worse. The voices of Will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro and Jake T. Austin return, while Garcia and Bruno Mars headline the newcomers.

SABOTAGE (R) As DEA legend John “Breacher” Wharton, Arnold Schwarzenegger gets to play a character who’s not just a nostalgic play on his ‘80s persona (i.e. The Last Stand, Escape Plan and both Expendables).

Wharton is the cigar-chomping leader of the DEA’s best bunch of badasses (Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard, Joe Manganiello, Josh Holloway and Mireille Enos). How do you know?

They have tough G.I. Joe code names

like “Monster” and “Grinder.” Sabotage may overdo the brutality and the blood, but it has some entertaining cult credentials beyond Schwarzenegger.

Enos (“The Killing”) gifts a truly nutty performance as the team’s lone woman, whose screws loosen in each scene.

Even after umpteen Atlanta-based Tyler Perry flicks, seeing the Georgia Capitol on a movie screen still momentarily thrills.

THE SEA HAWK 1940. Ciné’s seventh anniversary celebration continues with an Errol Flynn tribute for two showings on Tuesday, Apr. 15. Presented in 35mm, The Sea Hawk features Flynn in full-on swashbuckler mode as privateer Geoffrey Thorpe seeks to defeat the Spanish Armada. Claude Rains also appears. Director Michael Curtiz is best known for Casablanca but also helmed Flynn’s The Adventures of Robin Hood.

Errol Flynn’s daughter, Rory Flynn, will be present to discuss her legendary father. A reception will be catered by The National. (Ciné) SON OF GOD (PG-13) At least The Passion of the Christ was a feature film and Mel Gibson a decorated (if now crazed) filmmaker. Son of God is cobbled together from the Jesus sequences from the History Channel miniseries, “The Bible.” Portugueseborn Diogo Morgado is a photogenic Savior with a nice smile; he recedes into Christly caricature during the climactic imprisonment and crucifixion.

An obvious cash grab by “Survivor” producer Mark Burnett, Son of God merely takes advantage of an audience hungry for faith-based films. Minus a whit of believer’s passion, this film simply retells the greatest story ever told like a Greatest Hits of Jesus compilation.

300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE (R) More of a companion film than a sequel or prequel, 300: Rise of an Empire is better than the rest of the post-300 wannabes (The Immortals, Clash/Wrath of the Titans). Happening concurrently with the beautiful death of the abs of Sparta’s King Leonidas, 300:RoaE finds a new, Athenian hero in Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton).

He must battle with god-king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his gorgeous naval commander, Artemesia (Eva Green, Casino Royale), if Greek society is to survive. Though Zack Snyder isn’t around to direct, the script he cowrote allows new helmer Noam Murro (Smart People) to craft a stylistically similar movie. In other words, the entire movie looks like an extended video game cutscene. Outside of its gorgeous, violent visuals, 300 Again makes less of an impression.

TYLER PERRY’S THE SINGLE MOMS’ CLUB (PG-13) Nia Long, Windi McLendon-Covey, Amy Smart, Zulay Henao and Cocoa Brown star in Perry’s latest film about five different women who form a bond after a particular event at their children’s school.

The women use their sisterhood as an

WHO CARES ABOUT KELSEY? 2012. Kelsey Carroll failed to receive a single academic credit during her freshman year and was caught dealing drugs. Thanks to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and a planning program called RENEW, she turned it around.

(CinĂŠ) THE WIND RISES (PG-13) Hayao Miyazaki’s latest, a fictionalized account of airplane designer Jiro Horikoshi, the man who built the Mitsubishi “Zeroâ€? fighter plane used in World War II, is a hauntingly poignant and beautiful work, encompassing many of the themes that obsessed Miyazaki over the course of his magnificent career. Jiro, a young aeronautical engineer, dreams of designing an airplane of incomparable beauty and usefulness. His first job for the Mitsubishi company constructing such a plane, however, is not a craft for peacetime, but for war. Japan’s

government is gearing up for battle and wants the deadliest aircraft it can build.

Although Jiro is a thoughtful man, literally guided by his dreams to envision the reality of building the perfect plane, he is also ambivalent in his role as an architect of war. Meanwhile, Jiro falls in love with the lovely, yet ill, Naoko, whom he had met years ago in the aftermath of the 1923 earthquake.

Naoko is dying of tuberculosis when he reunites with her, yet the two marry and attempt to find some semblance of happiness. World War II then erupts and‌ engulfs all. [Derek Hill] (CinÊ)

If you have seen any of Anderson’s movies—particularly Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and Moonrise Kingdom—you no doubt have strong feelings about them. He is not a filmmaker who elicits a passive reaction. His work, at least from Rushmore on, has plunged into an increasingly hermetic, highly-stylized world of refinement, comedic slapstick and heartfelt loneliness. The Grand Budapest Hotel is Anderson’s most eccentric and fully realized work yet, playing like a live-action cartoon

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (R) There is a moment in writer/director Wes Anderson’s latest movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, that succinctly crystallizes his humanity and kinship with earlier directors Jean Renoir and Franois Truffaut, two major influences on Anderson’s approach to cinema. The Grand Budapest Hotel’s loyal concierge, M. Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes), is serving time in prison, framed for the killing of one of his seasonal elderly guests (and lover), Mme. D (Tilda Swinton).

Gustave pushes his cart of mush to each cell offering food to the other inmates. Most of the steely prisoners glower at him and refuse, perplexed by Gustave’s ability to maintain

Paul Schlase, Tony Revolori, Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes some kind of civility in a place so cold and violent. One towering, impressively imposing prisoner with a scar across his hardened face, however, does accept the food. In that moment, the prisoner subtly acknowledges Gustave’s attempt to preserve the notion that they are not animals, but simply men. And with the proper instruction and guidance, most of them (there are always exceptions, such as Willem Defoe’s nasty, murderous thug of a character, Jopling) could be men of taste and refinement. Much like Colonel Blimp from the masterful 1943 Powell and Pressburger movie The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, who naively believed that good manners were integral to proper battlefield conduct against a monstrous opponent, Gustave has wrapped himself up in an illusion simultaneously

channeled through the influences of Renoir and Truffaut, as well as Ernst Lubitsch, Fellini and the Archers. Ultimately, it’s Anderson’s own fully realized voice that shines through.

The movie is immaculately and impressively designed, much like the pastries that the young Agatha (Saoirse Ronan) delicately constructs, to the delight of everyone, including the baddies. But what makes The Grand Budapest Hotel resonate on a deeper level is its heart. Its surface may gleam like candy, but the absurdist fable told underneath is one of playful insight and warmth, peopled with characters who understand that it’s worth fighting for grand illusions in the shadow of ruthlessness and certain defeat.

During the My Athens Family & Kids Day at the Georgia Theatre on Sunday, Apr. 13 at 2 p.m., Avid Bookshop and Treehouse Kid and Craft will host an afternoon of crafts, snacks and a walk-through of the gallery. My Athens Gallery Party, the exhibit’s main event set for Tuesday, Apr. 15 at 7 p.m., will be a collaborative fashion show between 15 local businesses. Kicking off at 8 p.m., the Classic City Rollergirls will model the latest spring ensembles and accessories from boutiques, including Agora, Agora Vintage, American Threads,

“Everyone has that place around town that others should know about and see. That doesn’t necessarily mean a restaurant or store, but even a stairwell, a light post or a detail that catches their eye from time to time,” says My Athens founder Greg Gilbert. “That’s the depth of the city perspective we want to stay at, and we want to do it creatively. There is beauty all around, and the definition doesn’t need to be limited.”

Though celebrating the city of Athens through photography is the foremost goal, My Athens uses its platform to build community through collaborative events with local businesses that support Athens Area Habitat for Humanity. The proceeds of all photos, which are available to purchase at the show, directly benefit Habitat. Last year’s inaugural exhibition at The Bottleworks raised $2,500, assisting the nonprofit in building affordable housing for families in need.

Over the past year, My Athens has expanded into highlighting the creative people who work behind the scenes through an interviews feature on its website. “We’re evolving and learning what we do well and how can we do more of that to impact the city,” Gilbert says. “That is absolutely where the blog comes in: the ability to go more in-depth but still do it in our own way, which involves more photos and always a focus on why people are choosing Athens.” Ultimately, My Athens hopes that locals will take a larger initiative in exploring their surroundings. “What we’ve seen from the

Capturing Community: Created as a way to showcase the beauty of Athens and engage locals within the community, My Athens (@ My_Athens) is a photography project in which Instagram users tag photos of the people, places and events that make the Classic City special, using the hashtag #my_athens.

Thee Silver Mt. Zi¤n

A Lot of Noise, For the Love of It

P

ress play on Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything, the seventh album from Montreal, Quebec’s Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, and a child’s voice slips through the speakers: “We live on the island called Montreal, and we make a lot of noise because we love each other.”

The voice is that of singer, guitarist and founding member Efrim Menuck and violinist Jessica Moss’ young son, Ezra. This unfiltered revelation at the beginning of the album’s opening song, “Fuck Off Get Free (For the Island of Montreal),” serves as a preamble to a marching anthem and a declaration of hometown pride that swells with spontaneity and passion.

It’s also a telling metaphor for the album. “It felt very much like a fight standard when we were writing it,” Menuck says.

“Everything else kind of fell into place after that.”

With Fuck Off Get Free, Thee Silver Mt. Zion delivers a raw and energetic stream of disjointed images of rebellion, bluesafflicted poetry and some of its hardest-rocking excursions yet.

It’s a massive album that draws strength from the balance it strikes between blaring volume and wafting subtlety.

The musical sprawl that connects the opening number with an emotional roller coaster ride, from “Austerity Blues” and “Take Away These Early Grave Blues” to “What We Loved Was Not Enough,” is refined in its approach, yet stormy by design.

Wielding such a divergent palette of sonic forms with aggression and abstract civic gusto is all part of the plan.

“There is no avant-garde any more,” Menuck declares.

“Everything has been done already, and all of the formal barriers have been torn down. There was a time when you could make political statements with form, and you could draw attention to the fact that you were doing something different.

But in 2014, any artist—anyone who’s doing anything—can do whatever the fuck they want to do. There’s still a shit-ton of stuff that will marginalize you, but it doesn’t have anything to do with form.”

The examination of modes of expression is an underlying theme for Thee Silver Mt. Zion’s musical evolution. As the story goes, in March 2000, Menuck, a co-founder of the post-rock large ensemble Godspeed You! Black Emperor, unveiled a side project of a more personal design. He had conceived of this

new group, then dubbed A Silver Mt. Zion, to teach himself how to properly score his own musical compositions.

The initial drive soon changed, though, when fellow Godspeed cohorts Sophie Trudeau (violin and vocals) and Thierry Amar (bass, contrabass, vocals) filled out the band’s lineup. As a trio, with Menuck playing piano and guitar, an austere sound was born as a more democratic songwriting dynamic gave A Silver Mt. Zion a life of its own.

The group’s first offering, He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corners of Our Rooms, released via Constellation, embraced a booming but brittle and mostly instrumental sound. Lilting melodies, haunting drones and a deep, dark resonance spread out over eight intrepid numbers.

Songs such as “Movie (Never Made),” “Blown-Out Joy from Heaven’s Mercied Hole” and “For Wanda” felt gentle by comparison to Godspeed’s deep sonic valleys and rushing, guitardriven crescendos.

Over the last 14 years, the group’s sound has grown increasingly broad. Its sparse and undulating drones have steadily gravitated toward a more ornate punk rock sound that revealed itself through such albums as 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons (2008) and Kollaps Tradixionales (2010). Menuck and company also paired with late Athens songwriter Vic Chesnutt for his final two releases, 2007’s North Star Deserter and 2009’s At the Cut. Released in January, Fuck Off Get Free is Thee Silver Mt. Zion’s first album in three years. It’s also the group’s second offering under its current, expanded moniker, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra. From the beginning, the band has performed using various incarnations of its core name—the Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, Thee Silver Mountain Reveries, et al.—changing its name with each shift in personnel. The current lineup, featuring Menuck, Moss, Trudeau, Amar and David Payant (drums and vocals) has been in place since Kollaps Tradixionales; hence, the name remains the same.

A result of the emotional and sonic evolution that has transpired in the meantime, Fuck Off Get Free is Thee Silver Mt. Zion’s most lion-hearted collection of songs yet. The tighter focus on songwriting yields stronger melodies, and a

palpable sense of chemistry binds the group’s collective musical instincts.

That’s not to say that improvisation plays much of a role at all; songs such as “Austerity Blues” and “What We Loved Was Not Enough” are built upon solid musical structures that hang in a balance of high-energy and complicated melancholy.

Everything emerges as an amalgamation of punk, folk, metal and modern classical elements, sculpted by a band that functions as one musical and intellectual unit.

“We write it all together in our shitty little jam space,” Menuck says. “Sometimes it’s all worked out in the process of getting from point A to point B. We figure out a lot on the road as well. Any given song is kind of like a tomato plant: After a while, they just kind of stop growing.”

But that’s only partially true when it comes to the band’s live show. “At the end of the day, it’s just a tiny chunk of history when music has been a recorded medium—right around 100 years,” Menuck says. “Outside of that century, it was always something that was played and experienced live. And live has always been the focus for us. It’s even more of our focus [now], since no one is buying records anymore.”

For Menuck, the mystique lies in the intangible tension that develops between an audience and a performer. “Some of our favorite shows have been some of the most miserable experiences,” he says. “Finding ourselves face-to-face with miserable audiences, not having any idea what’s going on in a town, and being there in front of everyone in this room dripping insanity.

“There’s something to be said about living through that,” he adds. “Making a noise in opposition or working with that.

We take what we’re given, and work with it.”

record reviews

series, which are placed smartly at the beginning, middle and end.

Beneath all the menace in frontman Josh Evans’ delivery there is a disarming honesty.

When it comes to Evans’ lyrics, it’s hard to pick out single lines to quote; they tend to blitz by at first, part of the band’s overall assault, only to pop up later in vulnerable moments. Hungover one morning after making a fool of yourself the night before, you might look in the mirror and think of the title track: “Be a man/ Do yourself in.� Your kid sister will get a tattoo that reads, “She bursts like a landscape.� And, within a year, you’ll probably have one, too. [Marshall Yarbrough]

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

Manmade Mountains: We Were There

Independent Release HHHHH Based on the band name alone, you might get the sense that Manmade Mountains walks the tightrope between synthetic and naturalistic modes of music-making. But on We Were There, the band mostly offers over-produced songs to mixed results. “Banjo Song� is indistinguishable from the Avett Brothers in every way: Strummed banjos, vocal harmonies and other stringed accompaniment all feature prominently.

Manmade Mountains’ replication of that popular band’s sound is well executed but lacks any inventional element to set it apart. Songs like “From the Stratosphere� and “Birds and the Bees� recall the late ‘90s/ early ‘00s obsession with hand percussion coupled with acoustic guitars (I’m reminded, unfortunately, of Dave Mathews Band and O.A.R.).

Again, there’s certainly nothing novel to these choices, but if that’s your thing, you’ll get it in droves on We Were There. Don’t get me wrong; there is some decent poetry here. The chorus of “Wishful Thinking� laments our misdirected, mass-media-stricken minds: “Do those people on the movie screen make you crazy?/ You spend every night just thinkin’ about ‘em, don’t ya, baby?�

Ultimately, though, We Were There is a too-reverent hat tip to contemporary acoustic music.

There are moments when an above-average lyric or an extraordinary vocal performance takes the wheel, but there aren’t enough of them to override the obvious comparisons. [Dan Mistich] Manmade Mountains plays New Earth Athens on Friday, Apr. 18.

Muuy Biien: D.Y.I.

HHBTM HHHHH On D.Y.I., Muuy Biien’s second full-length, the band harnesses all the energy, bile, spite and brilliance of its debut to create a record that is more controlled and more sonically varied but every bit as immediate. The result is staggering.

The album is fast and loud, but repeated listens reveal it to be remarkably restrained in its construction—almost sparse, at times. The essentials are in the drums and bass—the guitars only come in when they need to, like the ghostly notes on the verse of “What Isn’t,� stumbling unevenly down the scale, orphaned, mournful. The ambient material, scattered on alternating tracks on the first record, is better integrated here, in the three tracks of the “Cyclothymia�

Muuy Biien plays The World Famous on Friday, Apr. 18.

Woodfangs: Future Vistas

Independent Release HHHHH Few remnants are left from Athens’ second-wave psych explosion. A small number of groups, including Hot Fudge and Black Moon, have taken up the freak-rock mantle, but if you were to take a quick glance around the whole of our local scene, you might think the days of inscrutable face paint and shambolic horn sections were nothing more than a vivid hallucination.

The fever dream that Woodfangs puts forth calls back to those strange, heat-stricken days, to an extent. “Demolish,� the first track on the group’s new album, Future Vistas (recall that Dark Meat’s debut was titled Future Indians—coincidence?) even features, yep, a shambolic horn section. The title track melds blown-out psych-rock with horror-punk weirdness, including droning organ and a sneering vocal take from frontman John Woodfin Harry.

Woodfangs’ current lineup features members of Muuy Biien and Monsoon, two popular local groups that have made names for themselves by providing fresh takes on tired genre tropes— proto-punk nihilism and post-punk over-caffeination, respectively.

But sometimes Future Vistas feels like the work of a band unable or unwilling to transcend. The record’s campy first half is fun but fleeting, a roller-coaster ride through your cool uncle’s record collection.

Things settle down by the time “I’m Just Dumb� rolls around, introducing a subtle country flavor to the proceedings. It’s the album’s first truly interesting track, and it’s followed by several similarly worthwhile tunes. The menacing chorus in “Come Down Easy� recalls Future Vistas’ first half, but it’s balanced by a scrappy, spacey, viola-heavy verse; the patient and melodic “Slippin’� and “Little Things� rather weirdly recall Crooked Rain-era Pavement. These moments inspire confidence. On Future Vistas, the unexpected mostly makes up for the uninspired. [Gabe Vodicka]

Confident Chemistry

Tedeschi Trucks Band’s

made up mind

W

hen the Tedeschi Trucks Band recorded its debut album, Revelator, in 2011, guitarist Derek Trucks and singer and guitarist Susan Tedeschi were surrounded by a cast of skillful musicians.

The album revealed a fine set of chops but also a still-developing chemistry within the group. By the time Trucks and Tedeschi started working on their latest effort, a collection of Southern soul ballads and blues-rockers titled Made Up Mind, the band had developed a tighter bond, a greater sense of confidence and a lively musical chemistry.

“This is really going to be a big year,” says Trucks, who earned a reputation in the 1990s as a prodigy with a penchant for slide solos.

“I’ve never felt better about a musical project.

There’s a lot of work to be done, and everyone’s pumped to get out there and see what we can make happen.”

Now in his mid-30s, Trucks is one of the most seasoned veterans on the Southern jam band circuit. Initially best known as the nephew of Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, in his teens he landed sit-in gigs with blues and rock greats like Buddy Guy, Bob Dylan, Stephen Stills, Widespread Panic and Joe Walsh. By the time he hit his early 20s, he was headlining his own shows. Leading the Derek Trucks Band, he explored Southern-fried soul and electric blues on his 1997 self-titled debut and five additional studio and concert collections.

In 2010, the band started to morph into something new. Trucks and company released a live album, Roadsongs (recorded in Chicago during a 2009 world tour), around the time Trucks started collaborating musically with his wife, Tedeschi, an accomplished guitarist and songwriter in her own right. By 2011, Trucks and Tedeschi had assembled a new band, which eventually morphed into an 11-piece ensemble, including core members Oteil Burbridge on bass, keyboardist/flautist Kofi Burbridge and drummers J.J. Johnson and Tyler Greenwell.

“I started developing a personality and an individual sound early on,” Trucks says.

“But the main growth for me lately has been learning how to be a bandleader and how to appreciate songwriting and making albums…

During my early years, I was more about how far we could take a performance. I was always kind of waiting for a solo section to see how explosive we could make it. It hit me later that I wanted to start making good records

that could age well.”

Trucks and Tedeschi started working on Made Up Mind by writing tunes together and with a couple of pals, the Jayhawks’ Gary Louris and Soulive’s Eric Krasno. They began with a basic concept of what they wanted the new collection to be, and then let it take on a life of its own. The couple appears happy with the end result.

“The whole process has been so much more positive for me, because I have trouble communicating my ideas fully, but these guys understand me and get what I want to do,” Tedeschi says. “Half the battle was having a great song in the first place… I can actually listen back to our new album and enjoy it.

That’s not usually the case.”

Indeed, both Trucks and Tedeschi say they enjoyed recording Made Up Mind far more than previous projects. Studio veteran Jim Scott (Wilco, Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers) co-produced the album with Trucks and Tedeschi at their Swamp Raga Studios near Jacksonville, FL. According to Trucks, things clicked right away. “[It] was essentially like hiring another band member,” Trucks says. “Jim’s rapport with Susan and the rest of band was really special. He was open to ideas, and he offered great ideas. Jim was a great champion for Susan and her voice, and he really wanted to bring the best out of her. We were lucky to have him.”

With Tedeschi’s soulful croon at the forefront, Made Up Mind rolls and rocks with punchy energy and sass. It’s a fluid, warmsounding album with two distinctive personalities—a raw, almost nasty rock and roll side and a softer, soul-ballad side.

“There’s always an undercurrent of blues, jazz and gospel in what we do,” Trucks says.

“Everyone in the band is a student and appreciator of great American music. As long as it’s honest, coming from a good place and has a certain level of dignity and musicianship, we don’t feel that anything is off-limits.”

Sound on Sound: Local native Kris Barratt (Spring Tigers, The Capes) launched his new label a couple of months ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s named Klang Tone Records, and thus far its Bandcamp page features the digital versions

Stylistically, Klang Tone is a little scattered, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprised solely of Barratt and his friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the wildly unpredictable Magic Missileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but its founder has his eye on the artier edge of punk and, as he puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;interesting electronic music.â&#x20AC;?

Music News And Gossip Old School: The Art Rocks Athens Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign for its premiere events scheduled to happen this May. The project is seeking $31,500, and the campaign will run until Saturday, Apr. 19. The nonprofit is dedicated to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;preservation and celebration of art in Athens and its influence on music.â&#x20AC;? This type of relationship used to be taken for granted in Athens, and often still is. But as our music scene grows and gets older, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increasing need to document and preserve both memory and artifacts. The video explaining the fundraising effortâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the specific events and exhibits it will fundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; features Love Tractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armistead Wellford, who does a fine job of explaining everything.

See facebook.com/ArtRocksAthens for more.

Wax On: The tracklist for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AthFest compilation album, which we previously reported will be pressed to vinyl for the first time, has been announced. Envisioned, per the press release, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a cohesive rock collection,â&#x20AC;? the 10-song record features tunes from New Madrid, Drive-By Truckers, Elf Power, Family and Friends, Ruby the RabbitFoot, Cicada Rhythm, Shade, Faster Circuits, Nicholas Mallis and Ghost Owl. Pre-orders for the comp, which is officially out June 17, start Apr. 15 at athfest.com. Get more details at flagpole.com. [Gabe Vodicka] Sing a Song: New West and Normaltown Records have a brand-spankinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new spring

sampler for you. Physical copies were passed around town a few weeks ago, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a download, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got you covered, too. The free 16-track release features tracks from Athens homeslices New Madrid, Yip Deceiver, White Violet, The Whigs and Ruby the Rabbitfoot, as well as tracks from out-of-town New West artists like Robert Ellis, Wild Moccasins and Young Rebel Set. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hefty and overall solid taste of what each label is up to, and you you can grab yours over at newwestrecords.com.

Be Well Now: As we reported on our music blog, Homedrone, last week, former Athenian and incredible pop songwriter Bren Mead (Masters of The Hemisphere, Still Flyinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) suffered a fall while hiking in his new home of New Mexico. While none of Meadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal organs were damaged and he suffered no internal bleeding, he broke several ribs, shattered his pelvis and suffered chest and shoulder injuries after plummeting approximately 20 feet and becoming trapped underneath a boulder. The rescue took approximately six hours, as winds made it impossible for a helicopter to reach him sooner. Mead is on a slow mend, and has already undergone several surgeries. Mead was an instrumental part of the indie-pop sound that swarmed Athens in the 1990s, and his music was among the first released by the Kindercore label. Friends worldwide started sending up prayers and well wishes as soon as this news hit the web (a fundraiser to help offset some of Meadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical costs has been established at indiegogo.com/projects/ bren-mead-medical-and-living-expense-fund), and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to personally send every good wish possible his way, too. Bren, if you see this, know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always got a place to land here in Athens. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left the light on for ya. l

New School: The seriously indie rock band Uncle Dad is playing all the time these days. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been casually avoiding the group because of its name but finally saw it a couple of weeks ago. While I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t totally Bren Mead floored, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hooks are undeniable, and my ears kept perking up and noticof its various releases, including two demos ing them more as the set went on. The thing from Barrattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band, Haints, the five-track is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna need to see â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em live, too, Verstärker EP and the 17-song Clearing House, because the one song Uncle Dad has available which features a decadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of songs online doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it justice. You can go listen recorded in England and Athens. The label to that track, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Location,â&#x20AC;? at musicbyuncledad. also took over the release of Je Suis Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bandcamp.com, but to get the full effect Coleslaw III Drymouth after that bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have to head to the 40 Watt with a Polish imprint fell through.

A session player who has been, at various times, a member of such indie linchpins as Lambchop and Silver Jews, Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mechanical prowess on the six-string is rivaled only by his knowledge of and passion for the folk music of Appalachia and its mid-20th Century ilk. Stylistically, you can draw lines from John Fahey and Max Ochs all the way up to Jack Rose, Jim Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke, Daniel Bachman and the rest of the American Primitive revivalist set, but Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand of traditionalism values storytelling above all else.

Advice for Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Persistent Questions My Mind on My Money My husband and I are pretty broke. I am a poor graduate student; he moved from another country to live with me in the States and basically had to start over. I have been having a hard time figuring out how to be supportive of him lately, though. He has a job that pays OK but wants to quit it, because his co-workers are racist and pick on him for being foreign. But he seems to be so picky about what to do next! Whenever I make suggestions to him, he says that they are not the type of work he wants to do. Whenever I express worry about our finances, he thinks I am accusing him of avoiding his responsibilities. It makes for some pretty stressful conversations. The thing is, though, what I make as a grad student is just not enough to cover the basics. As much as I would like to be supportive of him taking his time to find his path, I need to pay the bills, and I need his help to do it. What are some strategies for talking and thinking about this situation in a healthier way?

Strapped

For the past several years, literally all she can talk about is being stuck in her relationship. I recognize that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffering from battered-woman syndrome. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried just listening to her, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried pointing her to resources, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dropped every piece of advice I can think of but she seems incapable of moving on and away from this poisonous shitbag.

At this point, I feel like a bad friend, because I am so effing tired of hearing the same things every time we talk. I have my own problems (unemployed, major illness), but we rarely talk about those things. The only part of my life she seems interested in is when I have a problem with my significant other.

She almost seems to take joy in hearing that other people have relationship problems too.

How do I get her to realize that when I complain about my SO not taking the trash out, it in no way compares to putting up with the kind of abuse sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suffering? And what else can I say or do to help her move on with her life?

Wish I Could Help Her

Lee Gatlin

You need to reframe your idea of what her response to your help is going to look like. Made-for-TV movies and television What you can do, Strapped, is let him talk to me. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shows from the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s would have you believe that the explain to him that he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit his current job until he has two of you will have one heart-to-heart and then sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have another one lined up. And by lined up, I mean the ink is dry, her suitcases packed and walk out with her children. There and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for him to start. I do not mean he thinks would be music playing, and her chin would be raised. But, his buddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin might know of an opening in a few months. after several years of this, you know that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not realistic.

The reasons for this rule are several. First, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mired in a terrible situation, and part of her abuserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather a period of his unemployment. Second, it is very hard pathology, as you point out, involves to get a job when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have manipulating her in such a way that one. It is much easier, and you find makes it extremely difficult for her much better work, if you are looking to see that leaving is a real option. for a job while you already have one.

This can be extraordinarily frustratThat having been said, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haping to someone viewing the situapening to him at work is not trivial, tion from the outside, but remember and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame him for wanting to that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly living in an alternate get out. His co-workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; behavior has realityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one in which her relationship the potential to be really damaging. is normal and would be perfect if she If the situation were reversed and would just work harder at pleasing you were truly uncomfortable going her bf. in to work, how long would he expect You mention the ways youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried you to stay with that job? to help herâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;listening, pointing her I recommend a three-pronged to resourcesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as if those attempts approach right now. First, recognize have failed. From your perspective, that his co-workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; behavior may you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped her successfully rise to the level of harassment. If because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in this relationthatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case, his employer has an ship. But you have no real way of obligation to address the situation, knowing what the impact of your and your husband needs to pursue friendship has been. It may be a this formally. He needs to document source of tremendous comfort to her. what has been said, when, and by You may be slowly helping her see whom. He needs to attempt to force advice@flagpole.com or that she has support and friends who his workplace to address and remedy value her outside this relationship. the situation. flagpole.com/getadvice So I say continue listening to her While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing this, he also and asking her about the relationneeds to be looking for another job. ship. Be careful not to attack him or the relationship, but give His employer may not respond, he may never feel comfortable there regardless of the outcome and/or he may just be ready to her the space and freedom to talk about it. If she senses that you want her to leave him and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ready, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve change fields. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest he polish his resumeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;todayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and just become another person with expectations of her that she start sending it out, asking around and generally shaking the bushes. Clocking in to a bad job becomes a lot easier when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet.

Her decision to leave can only come from her and only know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an end date or when you just know that there are when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make her ready, but you can be other options out there. supportive and be nearby so she knows that when she is ready, While all of this is going on, the two of you need to have a sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have help. conversation in which you consider all possible ways to reduce You are her friend and will continue to be her friend by your expenses in order to take some pressure off your income. providing support. However, while all this is going onâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and it During this conversation, everything about your lifestyle is may continue to go on for some timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you need to realize that on the table. This includes finding a roommate, moving someshe is not in a position to be the kind of friend that you need where cheaper, living in a camper, selling your car, giving up right now. You need someone who can give time and attention cell phones and on and on. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do all of those things, but you need to consider them. Reducing your expenses to your problems, someone who can share in your excitement when you have good news, and someone you can complain to to the point where your income can carry you both will give without having your complaints distorted. You need to give him tremendous freedom. yourself permission to find that friend (or those friends) and spend time with her as well. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not abandoning your best friend; you are finding other friends so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not depending Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the same best friend for many years now. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen on your bff for something sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not capable of providing right each other through so many ups and downs, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagnow. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what will sustain you enough to allow you to keep ine life without her. The problem is that several years ago, she helping her. became involved with an abusive shitbag. This man is not just abusive to her; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total shitbag to her children too.
