Camp Hell [A re-run from July 2011, in tribute to summer-camp season.]

When I was about 13, an older first-cousin got married in South Georgia at the same time as Boy Scout camp in North Georgia. My mother and father and sisters were driving down to the wedding, but, uncharacteristically, they let me choose whether to go with them or go to camp with my friends. It was a hard choice, because I looked up to my cousin, who, though I was nowhere near old enough, let me drive when he visited and basically treated me as an adult. I also wanted to go along with my family, because we always went places like that together, and they were going by the beach for a few days after the wedding. Nevertheless, faced with this unaccustomed choice, I opted to go to the mountains with the Scouts.

As soon as the school bus pulled away from the curb, I knew I had made the wrong choice (as I certainly would have felt, too, had I gone with my family). A devastating homesickness seized me, but there was no turning back.

A highlight of any camp trip—Scouts, 4-H, etc.—was a stop at some roadside stand that sold, in addition to candy bars and Cokes, specialties of the area, like rattlesnake eggs or fresh apple juice. You could buy a gallon jug and try to make it last all week at camp. At this particular stop, the jug I purchased with my spending money turned out to be “hard� cider, that is, fermented—alcoholic. And many of us bought a particular kind of cigar for furtive smoking, soaked in rum and wavy: “rum-dipped crooks.�

I should add here that our Scoutmaster was not able to accompany us to camp this time. His place was filled by a couple of college boys, who kindly consented to pick up the slack, which no doubt accounts for the cider and smokes. “Most of us took the Those amenities were path less traveled by.� meant for after-hours. The real purpose of Scout camp was classes to earn merit badges, along with athletic competitions, swimming, campfires and weaving lanyards and bracelets from those long strands of plastic purchased at the camp store along with our Zeroes and Milky Ways. Soon after we arrived, though, we realized that our collegiate keepers didn’t really care whether we attended merit badge classes or anything else.

So, faced with the choice between classes and doing nothing, most of us took the path less traveled by. Merit-badge classes would have occupied my mind, but the empty time that enveloped us merely gave free range to my morbid fantasies.

My father was a notoriously fast driver, which helped make missing my family grow into the certainty that they would be killed in a fiery crash. Perhaps if I were with them, I would see the oncoming car and warn my father in time, but I was not there, and they would die. There were no cell phones, so I imagined how some Scout leader or state patrolman would come looking for me at camp with the news.

Not even the pornographic playing cards somebody produced could erase the foreboding from my mind; in fact, they made it worse. We sat around the tent at night with our crooks and our cider peering at naked women by flashlight. These cards were what would now be called “vintage porn.� The hairstyles were the same as those in my mother’s college yearbooks from the 1920s, which, along with the cider, no doubt accounted for the blunt shock of recognition the night I turned over a seven of spades and saw through the smoky haze my mother as a young woman, the spitting image of her picture in the yearbook. Heartsick on top of homesick, I wandered aimlessly, unable to grasp this new realization but determined that my Methodist mother’s death would seal her secret with me.

The week finally played out, and I was now sure that the authorities were waiting to tell me when I got home. The long, dread-filled return trip ended when the bus turned the corner and my anxious eyes spotted, instead of the authorities, my father, leaning against our still-intact car. He was OK. It had all been a nightmare. None of it was true. The realization flooded me with relief, followed immediately by guilt for the wasted week. I had chosen to go off with the Scouts, but I had earned no merit badges to show for it. I couldn’t even tell my father about the one terrible lesson I now realized I had learned at camp: that it is absolutely true what they say about an idle mind.

city dope Cronyism on the Commission?

Mayor Nancy Denson won commission approval Thursday, June 19 to appoint her hand-picked candidate, Steve Martin, a retired longtime city administrator, as ACC auditor for the coming year. The position has been vacant since July 1, 2013.

“This man [Martin] knows this government,” Commissioner Kathy Hoard said, pre-empting the criticism that was to come.

“He knows how it runs, and he knows how it should work. He’s someone with a very strong work ethic, and he’s a man of great integrity.”

No one is disputing that. I’ve known Martin for almost 10 years. He did a good job running the Central Services Department and, after retirement, was a thoughtful and engaged planning commissioner.

That’s not the issue. Coming on the heels of a proposed downtown hotel’s request for unprecedented property tax breaks that angered many when it came to light earlier this month, it’s another reason to wonder why the game seems rigged.

Denson submitted Martin’s name to the commission for ratification without even advertising the job, which is within her power to do.

“Just because the mayor has that power does not mean the action in question is in the best interests of the community,” Commissioner Jared Bailey said. He insisted on a national search, “instead of approving the hand-selected candidate presented to us as the only option.”

Commissioner Jerry NeSmith, who served on the planning commission with Martin, praised him as well, but he echoed Bailey’s comments even more strongly: “There has been no search for the most qualified candidate. The qualifications for filling that position have not been defined. To appoint someone without a proper search is, in my mind, indefensible.

“It appears the mayor is appointing an acquaintance,” NeSmith said. “Even the appearance of cronyism in such an important position is reprehensible.”

NeSmith and Bailey’s comments drew a rebuke from Commissioner Andy Herod. “To grandstand and to try to embarrass the mayor on this particular issue when everybody behind the rail was party to the conversation, I think is not cricket, as we would say in the old country.” (Herod is British, in case you couldn’t tell.)

NeSmith glared at Herod, sitting three seats over. “My intent is not to embarrass the mayor,” he said. “My intent is to do my job as I think it needs to be done.”

The conversation Herod referred to took place in closed session, so while commissioners may have known that Denson intended to appoint Martin on an interim basis and conduct a nationwide search, the public had no idea. NeSmith and Bailey

weren’t grandstanding (well, maybe a little); they were informing their constituents of their position on an issue that has only ever been discussed secretly.

yet. “It is our hope that in six months we’ll have something in place, as a body, that we know what we want so we can actually start the search in six months,” Commissioner Harry Sims said. It’s not like they haven’t had, oh, 359 days already.

“This was not a matter of not wanting to fill this position or foot-dragging,” Denson said. “There were some valid and good reasons why this position was not filled sooner.”

OK, then. We’d love to hear them.

In the end, Bailey and Nesmith were the lone dissenters.

Sims and commissioners Kelly Girtz and Doug Lowry voted to confirm Martin after receiving assurances that his appointment would be for one year only, and ACC would set concrete metrics to judge the auditor’s job performance before conducting a nationwide search and hiring a permanent auditor within the next year. Hoard, Herod and Hamby offered fullthroated defenses of Martin and Denson and voted to confirm.

Commissioners Allison Wright and George Maxwell were absent.

It’s just further proof that politics makes strange bedfellows. Hamby and Herod, who backed Gwen O’Looney in 2010, are now among Denson’s staunchest supporters, along with Hoard. Lowry, the only commissioner to endorse Denson four years ago, goes his own way more often than not. Maxwell can be unpredictable. Girtz gets what he can. Bailey, NeSmith and Wright are in open rebellion.

With the commission divided like this, it will be interesting to see what the effect will be depending on whether District 3 elects Rachel Watkins or Melissa Link in the July 22 runoff.

Speaking of Link: Former mayoral candidate Tim Denson— who won 69 percent of the vote in District 3—endorsed Link at a campaign rally Sunday, June 15. Girtz endorsed Watkins several months ago, so consider them even.

Steve Martin Then Commissioner Mike Hamby took a shot at Bailey.

“Jared, Commissioner Bailey, I know was the head of the Audit Committee for a long time when a lot of audits weren’t getting done,” said Hamby, a key player in knifing the last auditor. “Now Commissioner Herod is head of that committee, and I’m looking forward to the Audit Committee coming up with a game plan for how we can move forward and really make this position what it should be.”

And what should it be? Well, that hasn’t really been decided

Parking Permits: Residents on more streets in neighborhoods near the University of Georgia might be eligible next year for parking passes that keep students’ cars away from their curbs.

The commission’s Government Operations Committee met Tuesday, June 17 to discuss expanding the program. Currently, parking permits available only to residents are required for parking on 19 streets, mainly in the Five Points area, from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. on weekdays. Another 19 streets are eligible but not yet part of the program.

The committee discussed expanding the program to Pulaski Heights and Normaltown, making another dozen streets eligible, including parts of West Rutherford Street, Willow Run, Normal Avenue, Georgia Avenue, Dearing Street, Waddell Street, South Harris Street, South Pope Street, South Finley Street, Pulaski Street, Barrow Street and Brittain Avenue.

Those are the only additional streets that are eligible for parking permits; residents would still have to petition for permits to be required, if they want them. A public hearing will be held in July, followed by a GOC vote in August and a commission vote in October. If approved, residents could enter their streets into the program starting in January, 2015.

capitol impact The Downtown Master Plan The Voice of Politics camera. We did a 10-minute film interview—I felt really good about it—got back to Columbus and discovered she forgot to turn on the sound! I like to joke and say I did the first silent interview with Jimmy Carter.”

Woodel survived that technical glitch and stayed in TV journalism, moving on to other jobs in Mobile, AL, Orlando, FL and Nashville, TN. While he was working TV news in Nashville, the music video craze hit the cultural landscape and Woodel was hired to act in music videos with Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire.

That experience motivated him to make the transition out of journalism and into acting and voice work, where he has found plenty to do in theatrical productions, TV series and narration. That, in turn, led him back to another involvement with Georgia politics.

A few weeks ago, he got a call from a Chicago ad firm that hired him to do the narration in a commercial for a gubernatorial candidate down in Georgia: Jason Carter, the grandson of the governor who did that silent interview with Woodel more than 40 years ago. Woodel voiced the commercial, and the Carter campaign started airing it in June.

As is typical in the business, Woodel has never actually met Carter, even though his narration is an integral part of Carter’s first set of commercials.

“I’ve been through Plains several times and met Jimmy Carter, but I don’t think I’ve ever met the grandchildren,” Woodel said. “I’ve never met or talked to [Jason] yet.”

His career is an illustration of the strange and interesting paths that a person travels when he or she takes up the practice of politics. “It truly is a circle, isn’t it?” Woodel asked. “A circle of life throwing us for a loop now and then—and I love it.”

This is the 11th installment in the series of articles by University of Georgia College of Environment and Design professor Jack Crowley explaining the downtown Athens master plan that his team has generated.

T

he downtowns of vibrant cities are complex, and plans for their continued improvement often call for extensive investments in the public infrastructure that attracts private investment. Yet often downtowns can be greatly enhanced by the creative use of small spaces. In fact, a cash-strapped city can keep its momentum during the hardest of times by making improvements on its

park at the center of the block, the retail and entertainment along Washington Street and the new parking deck. The walkway might even be sloped to connect the two different elevations.

• The other half of the alleyway becomes the shaded outdoor dining space for a groundfloor café located a couple of steps (or slope) above the street.

• The remainder of the ground floor is leased for commercial or for governmentrelated public service. Citizens could walk in to conduct business with the city.

• The upper two floor levels (connected by an elevator) are used as offices.

Norm Woodel is one of those people in the world of politics whose face may not be that well known, but whose voice is right in the thick of it.

Woodel is a Chicago-based actor who’s often hired by ad agencies to provide the narration for TV commercials used in political campaigns. These include the feel-good image ads that try to boost a candidate’s name recognition, as well as the attack ads that trash an opponent.

He was the narrator on one of the bestknown political ads of the last decade: Hillary Clinton’s infamous “It’s 3 a.m.” commercial that she launched against Barack Obama during the 2008 brawl for the Democratic presidential nomination.

That was the commercial that depicted innocent children asleep in their beds while a telephone rings ominously in the darkened background. “It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep,” Woodel’s voice intones. “But there’s a phone ringing in the White House. Something is happening in the world… Who do you want answering the phone?”

That attack ad instantly became a major topic of discussion in the media coverage of the Obama-Clinton race. Obama survived the “It’s 3 a.m.” TV spot and, after Clinton dropped out of that race, Woodel was hired by Obama’s consultants to do voice work for his political ads.

Woodel, who’s 63, actually got his professional start in Georgia more than four decades ago as a news reporter and anchorman for WRBL, “TV 3” in Columbus. One of his first major assignments was to drive to Atlanta and film an interview with Gov. Jimmy Carter.

“We had to shoot our own film at that time, and I was headed from Columbus to Atlanta for my first big interview with thengovernor Carter—probably about the state budget,” Woodel recalled. “I took the TV station artist with me so she could run the

smallest of spaces. A downtown is as much an assembly of niches, nooks and crannies as it is a grid of large streets and buildings.

There is an alleyway in downtown Athens off Washington Street. It’s very short and lies between Civic Hall (which houses the Board of Elections) and an old vacant three-level Costa Building, which once housed the downtown police substation. In the Downtown Master Plan, the alley would connect the street to the center of a proposed greenspace west of City Hall, but it is fenced off because it is unused—or is it unused because it is fenced off?

SPLOST funding is available to renovate and reuse the Costa Building. So, what if: • Half of the alleyway between the buildings was built as a walkway between the

• The basement is renovated (reconnected by stair to Washington Street with a new west entry to the parking lot) and is made available to lower-rent-paying nonprofits or technology startup initiatives such as those working with Four Athens. This would be a niche opportunity to encourage the creative class to thrive here in our downtown, where they’d like to be.

In the Downtown Master Plan, this building sits between a proposed city park, a street whose sidewalks are proposed to be widened, a festival space proposed over a redesigned parking area and a commercial building built perhaps by the private sector on publicly leased land. Not a bad location for this “what if?”

Megabus Is a Mega-Bust

Offices s Homes Free Estimates

When Megabus instituted inexpensive transit service between Athens and Atlanta, I wrote a laudatory review. Wow, a bus with a schedule that allowed folks like me, who live in Athens but work in Atlanta, to put in a full day’s work. I rode with an architect and met a law student who was clerking for a law firm. Many passengers—former captives of the airport shuttle monopoly—were en route to the airport. At last, I thought, private-sector mass transit that doesn’t just talk the talk, it walks the walk.

No more. As the transit provider of last resort, Megabus appears to have decided that it can treat its customers with utter disdain, not to say abuse. The schedule is a joke—delays of two hours or more are routine. You can pay for automated updates via email or instant message, but they don’t send them. The promised 8 a.m. arrival turns into 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. So much for that day in the office.

Waiting for the Megabus that never came.

Let’s be clear: I’m inconvenienced. I’m late for work. But the sky will not fall if I don’t make it. Contrast this with the girl catching a plane home to China. The flight’s at noon, so an 8 a.m. departure should allow plenty of time, right? Not with a two-hour delay: the ripple effect could strand her at HartsfieldJackson for a day or more.

More to the point is the woman traveling with five children. Megabus uses a UGA stop on weekends when, for reasons that may kindly be described as opaque, Athens-Clarke County finds it necessary to close the open-air bus shed at the Pseudo-Multi-Modal transit center inconveniently located in a pedestrian no-man’s-land derrière downtown. Megabus failed to communicate this change of venue to this party of six, so they missed the Sunday bus. Megabus made them purchase new tickets and scheduled a Tuesday journey. Originally, the fare was $10 per person. With the repurchase, it is $40; times six, $240. Sounds quite literally like highway robbery to me.

This presto-changeo station thing has happened to me, too. But I’m better armed to fight back. I can buckle on my Buckhead Bitch lawyer armor, give the supervisor what-for on the phone and get a refund. This lady got the brush-off, not to use more pungent language. I missed a day in the office. She’s out $240, plus two days of her and her family’s life.

I want to believe in the free market. I really do. But shenanigans like this cause doubt. Megabus should be driven out of business, but the folks at the bottom of the economic ladder lack the means to give chase. The car-less person is at the mercy of lousy service providers, because there’s no alternative.

Maybe services like Uber can fill this gap, but I doubt that will help my fellow traveler get back to Durham, NC, any faster.

Guns-in-Bars Law Takes Effect

A

9d’s owner Mark Bell called the law “irresponsible,” but he plans to use a little reverse psychology and not post a sign, fearing that it would encourage folks like the Texas gun enthusiasts who recently made headlines by carrying assault rifles into places like Chili’s and Chipotle. “You know how some people are smartasses,” Bell said. “They’ll say, ‘Well, don’t do it? I’m going to do it.’ But as far as I’m concerned, mixing guns and alcohol is a bad idea, unless you’re the ATF,” the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Terri Silva, co-owner of Manhattan Café, Little Kings and Hi-Lo Lounge, also said signs won’t be posted outside those bars for fear of encouraging people to challenge the no-guns policy. If staff spotted someone with a gun who appeared ine-

new state law dubbed “Guns Everywhere” by critics takes effect July 1, raising the question: Where can you take a shot without worrying about getting shot?

One of the law’s many effects is to allow people to carry guns into bars unless bars specifically ban them. Flagpole attempted to contact as many local bars as possible. While they didn’t all respond, most who did said they will, in fact, post signs barring guns from their establishments, or were at least considering it. The law has outraged some bar owners in Athens, such as Wilmot Greene, who owns the Georgia Theatre and Green Room.

“We absolutely do not allow weapons of any kind inside the theater, and it astonishes me that I have to post a sign saying that they are banned from the building,” Greene said.

“We have a big room with loudspeakers and blinking lights. People dance and drink and flirt with each other all the time here. Adding guns or knifes to that environment is a bad idea.”

Just last month, Atlanta resident Corey Antwan Blount, according to Athens-Clarke County police, shot two men in the parking leg of Bootlegger’s, a nightclub on Commerce Road, killing one of them. (Blount, as a convicted felon, is not eligible for a concealed carry permit, so he would not have been allowed to have a gun at Bootlegger’s even under the new law.)

“You’re begging for trouble” mixing guns with alcohol-fueled impaired judgement, Magnolia’s and Paulie’s owner Paul DeGeorge, a self-described gun owner and Second Amendment supporter, told Flagpole last year.

“It’s a bad environment to have access to something like that. There’s too many brawls.”

In spite of the volatile mix of bullets and Bulleit bourbon, police do not believe the law will lead to more shootings. “We are not anticipating increased violence downtown,” ACC Police Chief Jack Lumpkin said.

Supporters of the law say that it gives law-abiding citizens who’ve undergone background checks for concealed carry permits the opportunity to defend themselves against lawbreakers with illegally obtained guns. “This law gives added protections to those who have played by the rules—and who can protect themselves and others from those who don’t play by the rules,” Gov. Nathan Deal said when he signed House Bill 60 on Apr. 23.

Bills to legalize guns in bars—and churches and on college campuses—were introduced in the state legislature last year in response to massacres in Aurora, CO, and Newtown, CT. Pushed by influential gun-rights groups like the National Rifle Association and GeorgiaCarry, the measures stalled out on the last day of the 2013 session, but a modified version passed easily last spring during the 2014 session.

Even the Democratic nominee for governor, state Sen. Jason Carter of Decatur, voted for it, explaining that he thinks it’s a local-control issue (and perhaps attempting to keep the NRA off his back this fall in the process).

“Our nation’s founders put the right to bear arms on par with freedom of speech and freedom of religion,” Deal said. “Georgians cherish their Second Amendment rights, and this law embodies those values.” The NRA called it “the most comprehensive pro-gun legislation in state history.”

Previously, state law banned guns in bars and churches.

The new law puts bars on the same footing as restaurants and other privately owned businesses—property owners can choose to allow or not allow guns, at their discretion.

Topper’s International Showbar has already posted a sign saying guns are not allowed, manager John Young said. Other bars, including Roadhouse and Nowhere Bar, plan to follow suit. “We’re going to have a sign out front that says ‘No firearms allowed,’ and as far as I know, we reserve the right to refuse anybody to come in here,” Nowhere Bar manager John Pierce said. “So we’re not gonna allow guns in here.”

with us, they could face legal consequences. If that’s true, I don’t like that it puts the burden upon the business. It makes it tricky for the business.

“I wonder what General’s is going to say?” Anderson added.

No one at General Beauregard’s could be reached for comment, but outside the Southern-themed bar one recent Friday night, Lauren Taylor was having a conversation about guns with her friends. Taylor said she owns a pink Smith & Wesson that her grandfather, who fought in Vietnam, taught her how to use. Nevertheless, “alcohol and guns do not mix, regardless of the Second Amendment,” she said.

Other bar patrons agreed. “The two things”—guns and bars—don’t go well together,” said Anthony Pickett, a University of Georgia law student, while drinking at Blue Sky. “You can’t use a firearm with alcohol.”

Not Just Bars But you can carry one in libraries, many other government buildings and parts of airports starting July 1.

“Among its many extreme provisions, [HB 60] allows guns in TSA lines at the country’s busiest airport, forces community school boards into bitter, divisive debates about whether they should allow guns in their children’s classrooms and broadens the conceal carry eligibility to people who have previously committed crimes with guns,” Pia Carusone, senior adviser at Americans for Responsible Solutions, told CNN. That’s the gun control group former congresswoman Gabby Giffords and husband Mark Kelly founded after a mentally ill constituent shot her in the head three years ago.

A number of regional and local religious groups— including the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta, the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church, the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta and the UnitarianUniversalist Fellowship of Athens—have banned guns in member churches. The Southern Baptist Convention favored the law, although the decision is up to each individual congregation.

Libraries will have to allow guns unless they hire guards and buy metal detectors to screen anyone who enters. The Athens-Clarke County Library is seeking to have libraries exempted from the law. “The library board wrote to our legislators asking that they consider having public libraries added to the school zone definition because we serve so many children,” Executive Director Kathryn Ames said. “Other libraries in the state have asked for the same thing. I hope they will push it after the elections and during the legislative session.”

It’s the same with other government buildings like City Hall—guns are allowed unless tight security is provided. ACC Attorney Bill Berryman said he is drafting a memo to the mayor and commission detailing their options under the new law.

Local school boards can vote to arm employees under the new law, but Clarke County School District officials said they have no intention of doing so.

As for college campuses like the University of Georgia, a provision in the original bill that would have lifted the ban on guns was removed due to opposition from administrators, as was another provision that would have reduced the penalty to a mere $100 fine.

The law does, however, allow hunters to use silencers with property owners’ permission; lets permit holders whose licenses are revoked apply for another one after three years; restricts access to guns for people whom a court has deemed mentally ill, incompetent or insane; and forbids police officers from asking to see a gun permit unless someone is committing a crime.

“Alcohol and guns do not mix, regardless of the Second Amendment.”

briated, he’d be asked to leave for drinking too much, though, she said. Silva didn’t think it would be a problem—her clientele doesn’t seem like the type to want to carry firearms, she said.

Some bar owners said they haven’t decided what they will do. Asked if the West Washington Street bar Max would post a sign, co-owner Shannon Lazenby said, “We could… I mean, we don’t really want to invite anyone in there with it. It’s just not something I’ve discussed with anyone else, yet. It hasn’t really come up, yet.”

Other bar owners expressed confusion or uncertainty about what the new law says. “I feel like I don’t really know enough” about the law, Speakeasy owner Patrick Anderson said. “I’ve also heard, say we were to post ‘No guns allowed,’ the burden would be on us to refuse someone service or ask them to leave if they were to carry a gun… and then if they did not comply

#SaveWRAS: Beloved College Station Fights for Its Life

T

Martin says college radio stations are being bought out by entities like NPR, Clear Channel Communications and other Top 40 stations all over the country. The WRAS/GPB debacle has raised concernes for him, and he wonders: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is WUOG going to be met with that same fate?â&#x20AC;?

But Martin is optimistic. He thinks that college radio in general is not dying and that it provides an important avenue for students to be creative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;College radio is a place of growth, a place of creativity,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Will SaveWRAS Succeed?

Days after the announcement and surrounding social media controversy, President Becker was quoted in a story by WABE saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be reversed.â&#x20AC;?

Since then, the original June 2 start date for the GPB programming switch was pushed back to June 29. Also, former WRAS staffers started Album 88 Alumni, a nonprofit organiza-

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Stake?

The 100,000-watt signal coming from WRAS, which can be heard in Athens, is one of the strongest student radio stations in the U.S. Besides playing R.E.M. first, the 43-year legacy of WRAS is also credited with giving rise to many local bands, including Outkast, Deerhunter, Collective Soul, Indigo Girls, The B-52s and others.

WRAS remains one of the last unadulterated college radio stations, where you can be almost guaranteed not to hear the same thing twice. It gives local artists unparalleled opportunities to be heard, which would more than likely be impossible on a mainstream station.

While the college owns the FCC license, it is entirely student-run. The student DJs would be losing their autonomy with the GPB deal, as well as their core listenership and cultural significance.

Akeeme Martin, general manager for UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student-run radio station, WUOG 90.5 FM, says the WRAS/GPB decision had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;devastatingâ&#x20AC;? impact on his staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a number of WUOG staffers that were heartbroken,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WRAS influenced students to join WUOG. They grew up listening to that station, and when they came to UGA, they sought out WUOG.â&#x20AC;?

will be reinvested in promotional and legal costs by the organization,â&#x20AC;? which has included a plethora of stickers, t-shirts, and other gear.

Current WRAS staffers are sitting on the sidelines, insisting that their listeners are organizing the SaveWRAS movement on their behalf. Josh Martin, the outgoing program director for WRAS, says that while they â&#x20AC;&#x153;love the SaveWRAS movement and all of the support from our listeners, we have absolutely nothing to do with that movement.â&#x20AC;? He adds that the students are â&#x20AC;&#x153;fighting behind the scenes in order to work on a compromise with the administration.â&#x20AC;?

Lancaster says that the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands-off approach is because they fear any form of retaliation from GSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration for rocking the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a student code of conduct violation, suspension, expulsion or even being locked out of the station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can understand why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being civil â&#x20AC;Ś you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to disrupt the entire flow of programming,â&#x20AC;?

Martin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From one college radio station to another, I applaud the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re handling it.â&#x20AC;?

Negotiating Tactics

Rob Skipworth

he first time legendary Athens band R.E.M. was played on a radio station, you could hear it on WRAS 88.5 FM. Now, time is running out for the Georgia State University student-run radio station. At the end of June, Georgia Public Broadcasting will begin occupying a majority of the stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airtime.

A $150,000 back-room deal, two years in the making, between GSU President Mark Becker and GPB resulted in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;partnershipâ&#x20AC;? contract in early May. It appeared to be strategically announced at the end of the school year, just as students were on their way out the door.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;highlightâ&#x20AC;? of the deal involves taking away 14 hours of the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daytime programming, from 5 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7 p.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morning and evening rush hour, basically the only time anyone listens to the radioâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to make way for GPBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news broadcast. And what do students get in exchange for being forced to forfeit their best DJ shifts? According to a GPB press release, the partnership will open the door to studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; futures in the form of educational opportunities and internships. Many critics have described this move as a power grab by GPB to move in on the news market of WABE 90.1 FM, Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole National Public Radio affiliate. (GPB stations, such as Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WUGA 91.7 and 97.9 FM, broadcast NPR programs in addition to local content.)

Within a week of the announcement, the Internet exploded with a #SaveWRAS Twitter hashtag, a SaveWRAS Facebook pageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which has since accumulated more likes than GPBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook pageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and an online petition to stop the takeover, which has garnered more than 11,500 signatures. The SaveWRAS movement has also called for GSU alumni and GPB members to withdraw any support or donations to the respective institutions. The social media backlash from these hashtag activists sparked a minor media maelstrom, gaining attention from local to national news outlets.

Kishi Bashi, of Athens, is one of many musicians who want to save WRAS. tion dedicated to keeping the station in studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;main goal,â&#x20AC;? according to Zachary Lancaster, the nonprofitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, is to give â&#x20AC;&#x153;GSU students who work at WRAS the best possible opportunities to learn about radio, music production and broadcasting.â&#x20AC;?

The SaveWRAS movement has raised more than $2,000 in donations from benefit concerts. The proceeds, according the Facebook page, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will benefit the #SaveWRAS movement and

Last week, Lancaster and Becker spoke on the phone about a possible compromise. Lancaster says that based on that conversation, Album 88 Alumni are preparing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;presentationâ&#x20AC;? for GSU. Specifically, Lancaster says Becker wants his presentation to explore, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What could be provided by groups other than GPB?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could those groups provide the same educational opportunities?â&#x20AC;?

Lancaster says he found it â&#x20AC;&#x153;unnervingâ&#x20AC;? that Becker had failed to explore those options prior to making arrangements with GPB, but maintains that, as of now, â&#x20AC;&#x153;GSU can be seen as working in good faith.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping, depending on the outcome of the next meeting, that GSU might possibly delay the GPB start date again to extend negotiations.

SaveWRAS supporters, who have been exploring alternativeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and possibly legalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;options to fight against the GPB takeover have cited GSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improperly filed paperwork with the Federal Communications Commission. Up until about 2005, the FCC license holder for WRAS was listed as the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, but in later yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; paperwork, they changed the name to GSU. Since the BOR never filed the appropriate paperwork to change the license holder, this has brought questions as to whether or not GSU had the legal authority to enter into a contract with GPB. Margo Davenport, an attorney with the FCC, says the FCC has â&#x20AC;&#x153;no complaintsâ&#x20AC;? in regards to the WRAS/GPB partnership. As a general rule, the FCC usually only takes action â&#x20AC;&#x153;in response to complaints.â&#x20AC;? Davenport says that FCC approval wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be required â&#x20AC;&#x153;if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a simple name change,â&#x20AC;? since the BOR owns GSU and all its collegesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; subsidiaries. But if the negotiations with Becker fail, Lancaster says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll consider filing an FCC complaint.

Becker says the administration will â&#x20AC;&#x153;weatherâ&#x20AC;? the social media advocacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People get upset when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change,â&#x20AC;? he told WABE.

YouTube Removing Indie Artists?

Picturing America

There have been dozens of articles written over the past week about the new YouTube service, Music Pass, though it won’t be available publicly for months. Some clickbait headlines seem to be furiously frothing at the mouth, while others are entirely dismissive. In the interest of gathering the best information, I took that bait and read most of them. Here is what I can boil down, followed by some unanswered questions.

Music Pass will be a subscription-based music platform. Much like Spotify, users will be able to stream or download music within the application. Also reminiscent of Spotify, major labels have been invited to the negotiating table first, and independent artists and labels are being given second-class treatment.

It’s true that a lot of available information comes from anonymous sources familiar with the agreement. It has to, because YouTube is

But Billboard says, “YouTube executives argue that they cannot offer music on the free service without it also being available on the paid service, as this would disappoint its subscribers.”

Another article, by Ari Herstand of Digital Music News, also uses a “source very familiar with YouTube Music’s streaming partner agreement, who would like to remain anonymous.”

The source thinks it’s unlikely that YouTube would outright block videos—just the monetization of videos that don’t go through the proper distribution channels as governed by the new agreement.

Herstand writes, “You really think that every video that contains music is going to be ripped down if that song has not been submitted to YouTube’s new music streaming service?

That would be a nightmare for YouTube. With lots of room for error.”

About 20 percent of independent artists and labels have already agreed to lower rates.

America the Beautiful: Through portraits, still-lifes and landscapes, “Picturing America: Signature Works from the Westmoreland Museum of American Art” provides a survey of American art from colonial times to the mid-20th Century, while the country emerged as the leading cultural capital in the world.

Currently on display at the Georgia Museum of Art, the exhibition from the Greensburg, PA museum includes 56 paintings and sculptures spanning 200 years of American history.

Portraits, America’s earliest and most dominant form of pictorial expression, were most often commissioned to record a person’s affluence, as a means of attaining immortality and as memento mori pieces for remembering the dead. The collection offers a spectrum, ranging from objective portraits like Westmoreland’s first painting acquisition, “Portrait of George Washington” by Rembrandt Peale, to more subjective, narrative paintings like “Death of Elaine” by Thomas Hovenden, which depicts King Arthur, Queen Guenivere and Sir Lancelot mourning over the body of Elaine, who has died from a broken heart.

The rest are holding out.

YouTube has offered no negotiation. being tight-lipped, even in this media storm.

Other details are based on a press release by Worldwide Independent Network (WIN), which represents some of the labels refusing to sign the agreement.

Currently, there are a couple of ways for artists to get paid through YouTube. Content made available through a digital distributor (such as IODA) receive 60 percent of the money generated through ad placement. If someone else uploads that content, YouTube may tag it as copyrighted material and monetize it anyway, sending that percentage to the rights holder. Regular user-generated content receives 55 percent.

The terms of the Music Pass agreement are not public, but the three majors (Universal, Sony and Warner) have reportedly already negotiated their rates. Independent labels and artists, representing roughly 30 percent of the music content on YouTube, have been offered a lower rate—take it or leave it. About 20 percent of those artists and labels—the ones working with IODA and other digital distributors—have already agreed to lower rates. The rest are holding out because of the rate discrepancy. YouTube has offered no negotiation.

According to the Financial Times’ interview with YouTube’s Global Head of Content and Business Operations Robert Kyncl, YouTube will begin blocking videos by non-compliant artists “in a matter of days.” Many commenters on Reddit and other sites have doubted this claim, saying the company would be foolish to block thousands of videos on the free service.

I think Herstand is being overly optimistic. YouTube has proven to have plenty of tolerance for error, even showing itself to be absolutely sloppy in its handling of copyright.

The music fingerprint database Rumblefish has blocked YouTube content because it claimed copyright on bird sounds in the background of a user’s home video that came from a nature recording released through CD Baby.

Likewise, I have had my own music videos flagged for copyright violations when no licensed content other than my own work was used.

A Google search shows this to be a frequent occurrence. The process to overturn the flag and restore the monetization is a long, hard road. Why would blocking videos be any less likely to occur, and with the same frequency?

Will YouTube start removing videos by independent artists? Will it only remove content by independent artists popular enough to be on its radar, or will any content with a fingerprint be tagged and removed?

What if a user uploads that material? Will YouTube use its fingerprint database to ID the content and block it, or just deny it monetization? The former would be an unpopular move.

The latter would equate to piracy.

Clearly, no one actually knows what YouTube’s intentions truly are, but if what they tell us is true, we should see results soon.

Jason NeSmith

John George Brown, “Maid of the Hills” Though still-life paintings continued to thrive into the 20th Century, their focus generally shifted away from recording organic materials to creating arrangements of abstract forms. This contrast can be seen between trompe l’oeil master Severin Roesen’s “Still Life with Fruit,” a brilliantly hued oil painting epitomizing the country’s physical bounty, and American Abstract Artists founding member Balcomb Greene’s “Organic Forms,” a geometric work playing with shape and space.

Reflecting the transformation of American society from primarily agrarian to industrial, the exhibition’s landscape paintings range from pristine natural settings to city scenes.

Lush waterfall painting “Silver Thread Falls, Pennsylvania” by Hudson River School painter James Brade Sword and “The Outer Harbor” by foremost Impressionist painter Frederick Childe Hassam contrast greatly with the paintings of “Pittsburgh’s Painter Laureate” Samuel Rosenberg, who documented socioeconomic life of the urban poor during the Depression.

Unique to this exhibit, labels have been eliminated from the gallery walls. Instead, the

museum offers iPads—which can be checked out for free from the security guards—with a slideshow providing much more biographical and background information on each piece than would be possible to put on the physical walls without appearing overwhelming.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the museum will present “Picturing America,” a series of films either shot or set within the exhibit’s time span. The partially fictionalized biopic Young Mr. Lincoln, screening on Thursday, July 10, follows novice lawyer Abraham Lincoln as he attempts to prove the innocence of two brothers accused of murder. Following on Thursday, July 17, the 1942 documentary Native Land exposes violations of Americans’ civil liberties by depicting the struggle of trade unions against union-busting corporations. Closing out the series on Thursday, July 31, Charlie Chaplin’s silent comedy Modern Times is a social commentary on the difficulty of surviving in the modern, industrialized world during the Great Depression. All films begin at 7 p.m. and are free and open to the public.

Additional events include Family Day: Picturing America on Saturday, July 19 at 10 a.m.; an Artful Conversation with curator of education Carissa DiCindio on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 2 p.m.; a Teen Studio with local artist Hope Hilton on Thursday, Aug. 14 at 5:30 p.m.; and a Tour at Two with associate curator of European art Laura Valeri on Wednesday, Aug, 20 at 2 p.m.

The exhibit will be on display through Sunday, Aug. 24.

Geometric Growth: The Georgia Museum also recently unveiled a new installation in its Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden, an outdoor space devoted to works of art by female sculptors. “Terra Verte”

by Scottish artist Patricia Leighton consists of six “growing cubes,” elevated frameworks of bright stainless steel covered in a lush patchwork of delicate sedum plants, positioned throughout the three tiers of the garden. The cubes, which are currently dotted with tiny, bright fuchsia and yellow flowers, will subtly transform over the next year as the vegetation grows, blooms and changes color with each season, demonstrating Leighton’s attention to the site’s environmental conditions.

At the root of Leighton’s body of work is the integration of art and site, combining architectural and geometric structures with organic forms. She has been creating art in the public realm for over 25 years, often collaborating with teams of ecologists, engineers, architects and landscape architects to create large-scale, site-specific commissions that reflect the history and culture of each location as well as its geology and environment.

“Terra Verte” will be on display through Sunday, May 31, 2015 as will “Stone Levity,” a conceptually similar sculpture by Leighton’s husband, Del Geist, which is currently installed in the Performing and Visual Arts Complex quad. Leighton will return in the fall to give a talk about her installation.

movie dope drew’s reviews 22 JUMP STREET (R) 22 Jump Street steps right into the criticisms

 of other high profile R-rated comedy sequels like The Hangover Part II.

Hot off the success of The LEGO Movie (still 2014’s best wide release), writing and directing duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, constantly and self-referentially acknowledge that Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) just need to do the exact same thing again. Moving from high school to college, the undercover team must find the supplier of a dangerous new drug called WHYPHY. It’s not as easy the second time around, as Jenko finds fame on the football field and Schmidt feels left out. Lord and Miller lucratively tap into a major vein of cop satire for their buddy cop-medy. Tatum again shows he’s an underrated comedic actor, and though Hill gets his laughs, he has the sense of self to know when to play it straight. Though Ice Cube is used to much better effect as Captain Dickson becomes an integral part of the plot, supporting fun is harder to find in this sequel; “Workaholics” Jillian Bell and the Lucas Brothers are the only standouts. Stick around; the end credits contain the movie’s funniest gag.

also playing THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (PG-13) Despite abundant reasons for applause, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 sabotages itself with the most dreadfully deadening second act unleashed in a major superhero movie. Andrew Garfield returns as Peter Parker/SpiderMan and has much more control of the role in his second appearance. He channels the comic’s wisecracking webslinger, especially in the smart, campy opening fight with a very Russian criminal inexplicably played by Paul Giamatti. In his second attempt, director Marc Webb supplies the franchise’s best action setpieces; both of Spidey’s fights with Jamie Foxx’s blueheaded Electro are kinetically exciting, if a bit too computer-animated. But the fightless sequence after Spider-Man first defeats Electro, during which Peter reunites with old pal Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and searches for the answer to his OsCorp scientist father’s (Campbell Scott) disappearance, absolutely kills the movie’s silly momentum.

Bookending the boring are two great acts. The action-packed finale jams three supervillains into what can’t be more than 20 minutes. Make sure you wake up for it.

BLENDED (PG-13) Ten years after 50 First Dates, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore reunite as single parents who, after meeting on a bad blind date, fall for each other on an African safari with their kids. Sandler invited his Wedding Singer, Waterboy, and Click pal and director Frank Coraci for the sure-to-be critically reviled, financially successful family flick. The supporting cast is fairly expected (Kevin Nealon, Allen Covert, Shaq, etc.), but Terry Crews, Wendi McClendon-Covey and Joel McHale are reliably funny.

CHEF (R) With Shane Black taking over last year’s Iron Man 3, Jon Favreau hasn’t helmed a feature since 2011’s Cowboys & Aliens. He also stars in his latest, a comedy about a chef, Carl Casper, who loses his restaurant job and starts a food truck.

Plus, he’s got to reunite his separated family. Favreau wrote and directed this feature that also stars Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jr. (Ciné) EDGE OF TOMORROW (PG-13) Sadly, Edge of Tomorrow may be the worst advertised movie of the year; its

10

less than evocative, unimaginative title does not help (the Japanese light novel on which it is based has the superior title, All You Need Is Kill). The trailer portrays a joyless action movie where an exo-suited Tom Cruise continuously kills the same generic aliens over and over. In reality, Cruise’s newest actioner is a charmingly funny, engagingly smart, sci-fi take on Groundhog Day. Cruise’s character, Major William Cage, is the Army’s PR guy, who winds up stripped of his rank when he balks at hyping humanity’s invasion of alien-held France. In the invasion, the untrained Cage dies but somehow wakes up to repeat the day. Fortunately, war hero Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) knows what’s going on and gives Cage some pointers on effective soldiering.

Cage’s repeated forays into battle and subsequent improvements calls to mind the process of playing a videogame; Cage learns the enemy patterns and makes it a little farther each time.

Fortunately, director Doug Liman and writers Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth briskly pace the repetitive scenes, giving Cruise ample material with which to charm.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS (PG-13) Finally; it took long enough for another wide-release feature to compete with The LEGO Movie; 2014’s list of best films so far is dominated by VOD and indies. The adaptation of John Green’s story of cancer-teens in love succeeds on numerous fronts. The script by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (they had similar success with the slightly superior The Spectacular Now) ably and completely translates Green from page to screen. Nothing of the book, neither its pain nor humor, is lost (even though a few things could have been). Ultimately, the source material is YA, meaning proclamations of endless love are de rigueur, but at least these kids might be right when they say they will never love anyone else as much.

Hazel and Gus are dying, after all. In her string of roles portraying YA protagonists, Woodley might have given her best performances. But the adults should not be forgotten. Laura Dern chisels Hazel’s mom out of some tough china, and Willem Dafoe entertains as expected. (These two are a long way from David Lynch’s Wild at Heart.)

Come prepared to cry.

GODZILLA (PG-13) 2014. The King of Monsters has recovered from his 1998 trip stateside with this extremely

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JUNE 25, 2014

satisfying entry in Toho’s long-running kaiju franchise. The filmmakers— Monsters director Gareth Edwards, screenwriter Max Borenstein and Dave Callaham —make several smart decisions with their Hollywood reboot of Godzilla. They go ahead and start with good-Zilla. The giant radioactive lizard is a much more intriguing character when it’s a force for neutral good. Big G must do battle with two MUTOs (massive unidentified terrestrial organisms), one of which bears more than a passing resemblance to series fave Mothra. The FX is superb, even if the two-hour film takes its sweet time putting it to full use. Edwards clings too long to his “less is more” Monsters aesthetic. The marginal cost of the teasing outweighs its marginal benefit in the third act. Even with a cast that includes Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and David Strathairn, the humans do not matter. It’s Godzilla that audiences are paying to see. Fortunately, the film ends at its strongest, a knockdown dragout between the monsters that does not disappoint.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 (PG) How to Train Your Dragon 2 aspires to make a wonderful family film

biopic has few stars (Christopher Walken is the trailer’s most familiar face) but lots of hit songs [“Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll,” “December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)” and lots more] as it recounts the rise and fall of the ‘60s rock and rollers, The Four Seasons.

Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young reprises his role as Frankie Valli.

JOE (R) See Movie Pick. (Ciné) MALEFICENT (PG) Maleficent is clearly birthed from the Alice in Wonderland strain of family fantasy, and despite being more successful than either of 2012’s dueling Snow White retellings, overdoses on style while lacking the original cartoon’s charm.

Actually, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) was a super nice overgrown fairy until an evil human broke her heart and stole her wings. When that evil human grows up to be King Stefan (Sharlto Copley, as weird as ever), Maleficent curses his infant daughter Aurora to the sleep of death on her 16th birthday. But being truly nice, Maleficent moons over Aurora (Elle Fanning) as she grows into a beatific imbecile. No one benefits from this ultimately unrewarding retconning of Disney’s classic Sleeping Beauty, least of all the titular evil fairy.

Here, the powerfully wicked Maleficent

C’mon! I’m just trying to get to The Grit! and turn it into an epic. Hiccup (v. Jay Baruchel) and his dragon, Toothless, spend their days flying across the world, discovering new locations and hopefully new dragons. On one of these flights, the duo runs into a dragon trapper, Eret (v. Kit Harington, “Game of Thrones”), working for the vile dragon hunter, Drago Bloodfist (v. Djimon Hounsou). Drago’s a newly monstrous villain looking to conquer fear, dragons and humanity. Fortunately, Hiccup’s mother, Valka (v. Cate Blanchett), returns from her 20-year absence rescuing dragons. Will the dragon riders of Berk be able to stop Drago or will he take their dragons as well? Writerdirector Dean DeBlois fantastically ups the ante from the first film. Still, this cartoon is kid-friendly. The antics of the other young dragon riders, voiced

by Jonah Hill, Christopher MintzPlasse, T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig, will entertain the youngest, while the high-flying action will wow the oldest.

Without a Pixar release to challenge it, How to Train Your Dragon 2 should be the family champion at the cinema.

Good thing it deserves the title better than most.

JERSEY BOYS (R) A musical directed

by Clint Eastwood has Oscar push written all over it. So why is Jersey Boys getting a summer release? This musical

is relegated to a petty trickster in snakeskin head wraps. Sometimes a villain’s just a villain, a baddie just a baddie. (But Disney being Disney, prepare for a whole new line of Disney villain movies. I can’t wait until Cruella, where we find Ms. De Vil was attacked by a rabid dog as a youngster, thereby justifying her plan to make a coat out of 101 Dalmatian pups.)

MILLION DOLLAR ARM (PG) Kudos to director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) and excellent screenwriter Thomas McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor and Win Win) for taking what could have been another sappy, inspirational Disney sports movie and turning out a mostly satisfying retelling of the true recruitment of Major League Baseball’s first Indian players.

Struggling sports agent J.B. Bernstein (Jon Hamm) needs a big hit to stay in the game. His unconventional idea leads him to India looking for a baseball pitcher amongst cricket bowlers.

But bringing young Rinku (Life of Pi’s Suraj Sharma) and Dinesh (Madhur Mittal, Slumdog Millionaire) back to the States is only the first half of the game. Now confirmed bachelor J.B. must father his alternative family to victory. Despite its major flaw, predictability, Million Dollar Arm succeeds.

Hamm could not be more roguishly

charming, and Bell is an underrated comedienne and actress.

A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST (R) Seth MacFarlane heads out west for his sophomore feature comedy, and the results are predictable.

MacFarlane is nothing if not unsurprising. Here’s a musical number. There’s a reference to another movie you’ll recognize. Next up, drugs! For about the length of two “Family Guy” episodes, AMWTDITW entertains. Cowardly sheep farmer, Albert, loses his pretty fiancée, Louise (Amanda Seyfriend), only to befriend and court mysterious newcomer, Anna (Charlize Theron, who is starting to resemble a better-looking Nicole Kidman). Anna is unhappily married to the most dangerous gunman in the West, Clinch (Liam Neeson, who will do anything for a paycheck now), and despite being a sharpshooter herself, needs a man to save her. As the prostitute girlfriend of Albert’s pal, Edward (Giovanni Ribisi), Sarah Silverman might get the most laughs per line delivered. Sadly, Neil Patrick Harris is wasted as a Wild West Barney Stinson. AMWTDITW is far from laughless, but the anachronistic non sequiturs consistently score more than the comic setpieces. Blown up on the big screen, MacFarlane’s weirdly smooth face (he appears to be wearing more makeup than any of his female costars) also distracts. At two hours, the percentage of laughs to groans dwindles to sub-Mendoza Line territory.

NEIGHBORS (R) The smartest move made by the year’s funniest comedy (to date) was to spread the guilt and the sympathy between the family (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) and the frat bros (led by Zac Efron and Dave Franco). When a fraternity moves in next door to new parents, Mac and Kelly Radner, a war breaks out after Mac calls the cops on one of the frat’s first parties. Though both sides trade early victories, no one really wins when these neighbors attempt a game of real estate chicken. Who will move first?

My fear going into the movie was that Efron’s frat president, Teddy, would be so brah-ish he’d lack any sympathy, but the High School Musical alumnus imbues the pretty boy with unexpected likability. He’s simply a nice guy, as is his VP, Pete (Franco). The movie spends equal time with both families, dividing the laughs and the commiseration. Director Nicholas Stoller finally figures out the whole comedy runtime, delivering good, hard R gags.

THE PAST IS A GROTESQUE ANIMAL Closing out this year’s AthFest FilmFest Rock Docs Series, Ciné is screening former Athenian Jason Miller’s documentary about of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes. In his pursuit to produce transcendent music, Barnes struggles to relate to the people around him, including family and bandmates. Solange Knowles, Janelle Monae, Jon Brion and more appear to discuss the versatile indie pop band and its primary songwriter. Director Miller and producer Andrew Napier will attend Friday’s premiere screening.

(Ciné) PING PONG SUMMER Rad Miracle is a shy 13-year old who is obsessed with two things: ping pong and hip hop. During a family vacation to Ocean City, MD, he makes a new best friend, experiences his first real crush, becomes the target of bullies and forms an unexpected mentorship with his outcast next-door neighbor. The screening, scheduled for Thursday, June 26 at 8 p.m., will be followed by a Skype Q&A with filmmaker Michael Tully.

SNOWPIERCER (R) Bong Joon-ho’s English language debut looks exciting. The world’s surviving humans now live on the globetrotting train, Snowpiercer, after a global warming experiment begins a new ice age that kills off nearly all life on the planet.

The survivors include Chris “Captain America” Evans, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer and Ed Harris. Despite rumors of Harvey Weinstein mucking with Bong’s vision, I am way more excited for this film than I am the new Transformers.

THINK LIKE A MAN TOO (PG-13) Everyone returns to mine more gold from the sequel to the hit romantic comedy based on Steve Harvey’s bestseller, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. The gang reconvenes in Las Vegas for the wedding of Candace and Michael (Regina Hall and Terence Jenkins). What happens in Vegas shakes up everyone’s lives. With director Tim Story, original writers David A. Newman and Keith Merryman, and original cast members Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Romany Malco, Gary Owen, Gabrielle Union and Kevin Hart all back, can this second marriage be as successful?

THIRD PERSON (R) Academy Award winner Paul Haggis tells three interlocking stories. In Paris, a writer (Liam Neeson) meets with his younger lover (Olivia Wilde) after leaving his wife (Kim Basinger). In New York, a young mother (Mila Kunis) struggles to regain custody of her son from his father (James Franco). Finally, in Rome, an American (Adrien Brody) helps an Italian woman (Moran Atias) recover her daughter from gangsters. l TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION (PG-13) This series practically defines diminishing returns.

the FBI and the Department of Justiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questionable relationship with Bulger.

Will this be summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot doc?

YVES SAINT LAURENT (R) One of two competing biopics about famed fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent (Saint Laurent will be released in October), this version stars Pierre Niney as the titular subject, who was thrust into the spotlight after Christian Diorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising death in 1957. Just three years later, he was drafted into the French Army. In between, he met his lover and business partner, Pierre Berge (Guillaume Gallienne). Directed

by Cesar Award-winning actor Jalil Lespert (Human Resources).

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (PG-13) Director Bryan Singer returns after a two-film hiatus for a successful X-venture combining the best of the first two X-Men (a heavy dose of Hugh Jackmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wolverine) with Matthew Vaughnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valedictory First Class. Wolverine takes center stage as his psyche is sent back to the 1970s

(cue the fashion, the automobiles, the Nixon) to convince a young, feuding Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) to work together to stop the end of the human and mutantkind. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a fan of any X-Men outside of Wolvie, Prof X, Magneto, Beast (Marcus Hoult) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of luck.

Quicksilver does get introduced (heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also slated to appear in Avengers 2) with the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece de resistance, a slow motion sequence set to Jim Croceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time in a Bottle.â&#x20AC;? Evan Peters provides the perfect jittery teen version of the speedy mutant. Like previous Singer X-Men, the film gets a little logy in the middle, but somehow the wonky time-traveling narrative keeps traveling forward with little confusion.

It only took five movies, but I am ready to give in to the Mystique agenda being pushed since the first X-movie in 2000.

could hardly be called great. He was a oneman freak show, seemingly content not to give a shit. To be fair, Marlon Brando did the same thing in the 1960s, before he powerfully delivered the double-whammy of The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris in the early 1970s, but the movie industry is vastly different now, and, to be clear, Cage is no Brando.

But there is greatness in Cage, and his role as the title character in David Gordon Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;attests to that. It feels like an artistic resurrection for the actor, akin to Sylvester Stalloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in the gritty 1997 crime movie Cop Land.

Stallone ultimately never backed up that role with more great movies, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping Cage will. Joe certainly gives Cage a challenging character. Set in rural Texas, the dark and Southern Gothic-esque Joe (written

by Gary Hawkins and based on a novel by Larry Brown) focuses on a man with a bad past and a bleak present, who oversees a crew of day laborers poisoning weaker trees in order that stronger trees will take their place.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brutal environment, but one in which these men, like Joe, have learned to struggle and survive. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of fatherly protection magnifies when he hires a teenager, Gary (Tye Sheridan, who starred in the excellent Mud), to work on the crew. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buried violence rages back when he discovers that Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troubled, alcoholic father (played by Gary Poulter, a non-actor who died after filming this movie) is sadistically beating the boy and the rest of his family. Joe yearns for redemption, but the path to peace comes at a great price.

Joe is a knockout and the feel-bad movie of the summer thus far. Let it burn inside, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all.

he 2014 FAMAs kicked off the music portion of AthFest on Thursday, June 19 at the historic Morton Theatre in downtown Athens. As usual, the show was a mix of affection, affectation and absurdity.

The big winner of the night was rising collective Family and Friends, which took home both the Upstart and Artist of the Year awards, in addition to performing a set of rousing folkrock to close out the evening.

Other multiple award winners included Elf Power, which won the Rock, Cover Art and Music Video awards, and The Darnell Boys, which earned steel statues in the Live and Americana categories.

The two new artists’ vote categories, Live Engineer and Studio Engineer, went to Gene Woolfolk and Jesse Mangum, respectively. The former regaled the Morton audience with a rather convincing “demanding band” routine before leaving the stage with a well-placed bird flip.

The night’s performances impressed top down and were filthy with interesting accessories, from Jay Gonzalez’s acoustic keytar to Hand Sand Hands’ mysterious noise suitcase to Family and Friends’ wily guitarist’s gas-can six-string.

Host Tom Visions kept things moving like the weirdo pro he is, and, in addition to several bursts of capable freestyling, provided one of the night’s more memorable moments with an impromptu rant against a Family and certain Atlanta-based magazine publisher.

Pit band Kenosha Kid once more outdid itself, the Athens AcroYoga group made everyone else feel physically inadequate and all the award presenters shone like the crazy diamonds they are.

Thanks to all who made the 2014 FAMAs such a resounding success—and here’s to next year! [Gabe Vodicka]

record reviews New reviews of local albums are posted regularly at flagpole.com. Here are three releases to check out this week.

Magicicada: Wrack with Ruin

Joshua L. Jones

Kishi Bashi

Mission Trips HHHHH Don’t be fooled by the catchy name—Atlanta’s Magicicada specializes in chirpy, glitchy sound collages that rarely carry any tune. The man behind the mischief, Chris White, gathers clicks, jitters, warps and weaves onto one palette, then lashes the canvas repeatedly to create jumbled, Pollock-like tracks. As you might expect, the results vary wildly.

When Magicicada remembers to apply a beat, it can hypnotize the listener properly, with Autechre-ish mind throbs like “Glancing Off the Edges.” Other times, the free-form freak-outs dissemble into wimpy throwaways (“Pardon You”) or unreasonably hostile gibberish (“Homeopathic Processor”). Curios like the ghostly “livewater” and the serene wind chime of “’torium” offer brief, albeit forgettable, respites from the churning, migraine-inducing mayhem.

White’s best constructions are pieces like “Ancient Squeek,” where the blizzard of breathy points and ratcheting tumbles slip into subtle, Aphex Twin-esque rhythms that only the most diligent listeners will tease out.

Drum and bass aficionados may dig the constant rattling busy-ness of Wrack with Ruin—but prepare to be disappointed by the complete lack of bass. It’s an adventurous and ambitious effort, but ultimately frustrating, without memorable hooks or binding focus. [Lee Adcock]

Dude Magnets: Queen/Classic Joshua L. Jones

Jay Gonzalez

Pizza Tomb H H H H H /H H H H H This is an unfortunate situation. Here we have Dude Magnets, a band that plays earnest, lo-fi indie rock, releasing a tape on Pizza Tomb Records, one of the most promising up-and-coming labels in Athens at the moment. This should be a recipe for success—or at least make for something inoffensive and/or enjoyable. But though the split personality concept is an interesting one, the music on Queen/Classic is not up to par with the band’s aspirations.

Scott Sapp’s guitar playing sounds pretty good, especially when covered up by a healthy layer of fuzz. However, decent riffs come at the expense of tolerable vocals. Sapp’s delivery is flat and emotionless. Songs like “Sad Clown” and “Classic” pair his vocals with vague, uninteresting lyrics that seem cut and pasted from an old LiveJournal page.

There are bright spots—mostly on Queen. Ernie LoBue’s percussion and William Cantrell’s bass playing are both charmingly sloppy on instrumental “Mahomet.” “Eating and Sleeping” is an impressive five-minute example of contained chaos. “Dude Magnets” and “Goddess Complex” could have come out of a noisier variant of the San Diego pop-punk scene.

Still, if they want to keep up, Dude Magnets need to reformat. If not, they risk being pushed out by a wave of young, talented people—including many of their labelmates—already accomplishing bigger and better things. [Nathan Kerce]

Motion Sickness of Time Travel: Alpha Piscium

Joshua L. Jones

Gene Woolfolk

Joshua L. Jones

Hooker Vision HHHHH Winterville’s Rachel Evans has stayed typically busy over the past year, even if most of her work has been under the radar, including a series of monthly CD-R releases unleashed in concurrence with each full moon. Her new cassette release as Motion Sickness of Time Travel, Alpha Piscium, is billed as the proper follow-up to 2012’s acclaimed self-titled double-album, and it is similarly dense and ambitious, if a bit slighter than its spiritual predecessor in terms of running time.

“The Blossoms” opens the tape with a surprisingly heavy dose of low end. A repeating figure weaves in and out of the frame while Evans’ trademark bubbling synths squirm and pop underneath. “Pleochroism” follows that up with some noise-laden atmospherics; it’s a rawer, dirtier track than we’re used to from MSOTT, more in line with the work of Evans’ husband and colleague Grant than her own musical history.

The “Ikebana” series that populates the record’s midpoint is a study in psychedelic synth exploration, strangely lit, brimming with weird energy. “No Warning” brings back the bass and the noise and also features the first audible occurrence of Evans’ vocals. “You Don’t Know What It’s Like” is the album’s thematic centerpiece and literal heartbeat, an immersive tune whose underlying groove is eventually overtaken by encroaching static. The title track functions as an outro, sheer and pretty and imbued with vague heartache.

Like the most transcendent work of fellow synth experimenter Oneohtrix Point Never, Alpha Piscium finds beauty in the mundane. It is also poised and proud amidst chaos, Evans’ finest outing yet. [Gabe Vodicka]

threats & promises calendar picks Music News And Gossip

OK, folks: I know you’re worn out and in that lazy, post-AthFest haze. I am, too. But there’s always a lot going on, and you’d be remiss in your duties as a scene member if you skipped this week’s news, and I’d be, too, if I skipped telling you about it. So, let’s get down and dirty for town and duty…

Eat Yr Heart Out: The debut release from local supergroup Hot Fudge is slated for a release celebration Friday, June 27 at the Caledonia Lounge. The album, titled #1 Tape, is a tight, seven-track record steeped in a kind of guitarpop psychedelia that betrays its love of pure ‘70s classic rock (Grand Funk Railroad, Blue Oyster Cult) as much as its affection for synthladen overlord anthems (Alan Parsons Project, ELO). Of course, it’s all distilled through an Athens slack-rock filter, too, so it will neither

itself, no matter the result. For more information, see fortywattflowers.com.

Dance (Don’t Think): One of my favorite newer labels in town, the dance-music oriented King Beluga Records, is hosting an event named Beluga Bash at the 40 Watt Club on Saturday, June 28. It’s a well rounded showcase of the label’s affiliated artists, including Holotropic, JUJU, WesdaRuler, AstroShaman, ‘Panksi, Phiness and Mob Knarly. I heartily encourage you to check out the music of King Beluga via soundcloud.com/king-beluga and scroll around kingbeluga.com for more information.

C’mon, Get Happy: The nearly unthinkable has happened. The mighty Ceiling Fan, its creative juices seemingly revived after last year’s AthFest reunion show, has a new EP at

THEATER | Thursday, June 26–Sunday, June 29

6th Annual Shakespeare on the Lawn: Twelfth Night

Mike White · deadlydesigns.com

Ashford Manor, Watkinsville · 8 p.m. · $8-16 Rose of Athens Theatre welcomes back Shakespeare theater expert Kristen Kundert-Gibbs to direct a fifth production of her favorite play. For Shakespeare rookies, Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies and takes place in the ancient city of Illyria. When brilliant Viola finds herself shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria, she disguises herself as a young man named Cesario. As Cesario, she meets Duke Orsino, who confides in her, professing his love for Lady Olivia. Lady Olivia, who has refused to see any suitors for seven years, promptly falls for Cesario (the cross-dressing Viola), and Viola falls for the Duke. The rest of the play follows the hilarious love triangle that ensnares more key players. A preview night will be offered on Thursday with a discounted ticket price of $7. Blankets, lawn chairs and snacks are encouraged for this family-friendly performance. [Sarah Temple Stevenson] FILM | Friday, June 27 & Saturday, June 28

The Past is a Grotesque Animal

Ceiling Fan beat you up nor intimidate you out of playing your own music. In short: It’s the jam, man.

Sharing the bill at the release show is the never disappointing Future Ape Tapes and Winston-Salem doom-droners Primovanhalen.

Check out the first track from #1 Tape over at hotfudgeathens.bandcamp.com, and be sure to check our music blog, Homedrone, this week for an exclusive pre-release track.

It’s a Concept, It’s a Feeling: Canadian author Colleen Subasic, who briefly lived in Athens and worked at Hill Street Press, has published a short novel titled The Forty Watt Flowers. The plot centers around a musician named Trisha and a rock band she forms with her friends. The story interpolates a good amount of actual Athens history into the tale of the fictional group, jumping from real life into fiction and back, treating the band as if it were a real thing. To wit, the author is sending the group on a virtual “tour” of nowdefunct nightclubs. Although I’ve not read the book and am generally trepidatious about pop-fiction of this sort—not to mention coy authors who send me information but deliberately leave their last name off, meaning I have to spend time hunting around for it— Subasic’s affection for Athens is clear. And, you know, writing book-length stories is hard work. For someone to be inspired by our town and scene enough to dedicate the time to pounding this out is a compliment in and of

the ready. It’s titled Survival, and is absolutely packed with the sort of wire-tight guitar heroics and slam-punch rhythms that made the band a favorite back in, you know, “the day.”

Ceiling Fan has always specialized in songwriting that sounds familiar, but upon closer inspection reveals totally left-field things.

The band makes the utterly complicated seem very simple, and really, that’s a core characteristic of all the best pop music. The group will release Survival during its show at Hi-Lo Lounge Friday, June 27, where it will play with the legendary Paul Collins Beat. Also along for the ride are local grunge-rockers Cancers and Nashville, TN band Sherbert.

Flick it On: The dates for the annual Sprockets Music Video Festival are now firmly established for July 18 and 19 at the 40 Watt. The first night is the Georgia Music Video Show.

The next day will feature industry talks from video historian Stephen Pitalo and Adam Fairholm of IMVDb.com; that night will also host the Sprockets International Video Showcase. The talks require a suggested donation of $2, and the screenings are $6 each.

Save yourself the trouble of toting around all those singles, though, and get a wristband for a mere 10 bucks. That’ll get ya into everything. For more information, see filmathens. net.

Ciné · 7:30 p.m. · $10 Directed by Los Angelesbased filmmaker and former Athenian Jason Miller, The Past is a Grotesque Animal documents the often-bizarre yet overall brilliant artistic journey of eccentric frontman Kevin Barnes and the rise of local pop band of Montreal. After years of accumulating live footage of the band, Miller set out to turn it all into something, whittling down roughly 12 terabytes of performances, photos, posters and artwork files into a feature-length film. Through live shows, recording sessions, home videos starting with the earliest of Montreal line-ups and interviews with band members, crew members and friends, The Past reveals a candid glimpse into Barnes’ artistic obsession and the difficult balance between making transcendent music and maintaining relationships with those around him. The project was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign through which over 1,000 people contributed towards raising nearly $95,000, exceeding the original $75,000 goal. Both Miller and co-producer Andrew Napier will be in attendance for Friday’s premiere screening. [Jessica Smith] MUSIC | Friday, June 27

Hot Fudge, Future Ape Tapes, Primovanhalen

Caledonia Lounge · 10 p.m. · $5 (21+), $7 (18–20) Local rock and roll group Hot Fudge celebrates the release of its long-awaited

debut album, #1 Tape, on cassette (duh) with a show Friday at the Caledonia. Led by guitar master Kris Deason, who spent time in defunct noise-psych group Dark Meat, and also sharing at least one member with local improv giants Garbage Island, Hot Fudge’s music culls from much of the same source material as those colleagues: art-damaged post-punk, ‘70s classic rock, heavy prog à la Flower Travellin’ Band. But there’s a balloon-like power-pop center to the group’s psychedelic squall, as heard on tunes like “To Be One Ask One,” that lifts #1 Tape out of the gutter and towards the sun. [Gabe Vodicka] MUSIC | Saturday, June 28

Luray, Red Leg Husky

Hendershot’s Coffee Bar · 8 p.m. · $5 Luray’s music is described in a press release as “somewhere between Iron & Wine and Emmylou Harris,” and singersongwriter Shannon Carey’s brother Sean—better known as S. Carey, of Bon Iver fame—handles production duties on the group’s wistful new album, The Wilder.

Those three references should give you a pretty good idea of what you’re getting into: pastoral folk, gutty melodies, a firm handle on the finer points of banjo-pickin’.

Though occasionally humdrum, The Wilder’s

Luray

best tunes, like the rugged “Kalorama,” reveal moments of Lucinda Williams-esque sharpness. Musically, the record straddles the moveable line between front-porch Americana and atmospheric nu-folk, a sonic tribute to forward movement. [GV] MUSIC | Tuesday, July 1

Monkier, Partial Cinema

Georgia Theatre Rooftop · 10 p.m. · $5 Atlanta-based collective Monkier takes the groove-oriented, jazz-inflected hip hop of the early ‘90s (think Digable Planets and De La Soul) and pushes it more explicitly into the jazz arena, layering moody, horn-centric grooves over fusion-focused key explorations and bubbling bass, all topped off where necessary with frontman Zac Evans’ astute rhymes. In a less capable group’s hands, this sort of jamfest concept could be (and frequently is) disastrous, but Monkier makes it work. The group’s self-titled debut calls to mind the recent release from crossover jazz pianist Robert Glasper—taut and tasteful, full of strange time signatures but also instantly graspable, sure to get the smart crowd grooving.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Recycling-Challenged I hate separating my trash into different types of recyclables when I’m eating out at Earth Fare. There are always, like, four different bins, each with its own sign listing eight possible categories that should go into that bin. It always confuses me, and I don’t have any idea what happens to this stuff after I toss it and whether it actually helps the earth. Even if it does, is it worth my anguish? Sometimes I want to chuck it all into the trash (er, “organics”) bin, but I don’t, because of the glare I know I’ll get from the other patrons. What should I do? I kind of…

name, not her married name. She mentioned it when she got the cards, but it didn’t seem like a big deal. Last month, our families were together, and, at an event with lots of family and non-family, she overheard me say, “I’m Mary Smith’s cousin.” Smith, of course, being the last name that we used to share. She got really mad about that, but I swear it was unintentional. She was Mary Smith for 26 years, the entire time that I’ve known her, and it’s just the force of habit that makes me keep saying and writing Smith. I don’t do this on purpose, but I don’t really see what the big deal is. Is she maybe being a little oversensitive?

Real peace, not faux angry peace that mine that there’s really no way to avoid it. Help!

Dreading Dog-Walking says “I don’t care what those self-righteous hippies think; I’d have time to sort trash too if I didn’t have a job to go to.”

Don’t beat yourself up over this, but do try to think about her Lastly, I’ll suggest you satisfy your doubts about the trash handling by asking a few employees there what happens to the for a few minutes in order to maximize your sympathy for her.

This will make it easier to talk to her once in a while. (Also, bins when they’re full.
