ambulance when we need to make a speedy run to an Atlanta hospital or even a slow trip over to somewhere like Anniston to pick up the body of somebody who has died while away from Greene County, which is why everybody from there is deathly afraid that will actually happen to them if they are gone from Greene County for longer than a day or two. To tell you the truth, a lot of people have died, and they weren’t even from Greene County. They were from Athens, but after the University of Georgia dropped their health insurance (as I predicted they were going to do), and they had to flounder around in those health exchanges and come up with insurance that wasn’t nearly as good as what the university had been providing, why, a lot of them died, because they couldn’t afford to pay for all the treatments that had formerly been covered by their insurance until the Board of Regents dropped it and forced them into the open market. The Board of Regents! I tell you. They not only dropped retirees’ health insurance, they also didn’t stand up for the new UGA medical school and instead stood by while the Medical College of Georgia down in Augusta crushed the new UGA program in 2015 and turned it into a high school elective, while none of our Athens and UGA leaders let out a peep—especially the mayor, because they’re too much afraid of the governor and the The author writes his column, which is still just as full of it as legislature.

thens-based doom-jazz band Taber & the Utopians has redefined the local musical climate, bringing a fresh voice to a town that has become a barren cultural basin of empty, dilapidated student housing units and rotting Reptar collectables. Since their first show at the 400 Watt Club last May, the Utopians have not stopped progressing. The local group has reportedly sold more than 12 brainstreams of the new Mute Monotony EP in just three months. The acid-punk outfit is slated to follow up with its first full-length album in July, which it hopes to fund via IndieNoNo. “I guess you can say we are the classic rags-to-riches kinda deal, if rags are worncorduroys and riches are beds to sleep in—though I usually prefer not to sleep in mine,” says Taber Montalvo, the creative force behind the pepperoni-pop project. The six-piece mouth-metal collective has an unusual origin story. Ellis Roy III of New New West Records and Cochlear Implants discovered the group playing an

The mayor’s son, an ex-paratrooper, told me way back in 2014 to quit writing bad things about his mama. I assume that by this time, all these years later, he’s probably not strong enough to do what he intimated he would do if I did not stop. I didn’t stop, of course, but not only kept writing bad things about his mama, I bought this little robot that would continue composing Pub Notes long after I am gone, which I assume I am by the time you’re reading this. It must be 2035 or 2045 or something by now.

The band’s humble beginnings are a product of the members’ flippant attitude towards organized society. Lead guitarist Vry Thompson and drummer Nick Hambo met Montalvo during a chance virtual dumpster-diving encounter at dunkindonuts.com. According to Thompson, they were e-rummaging for inspiration. “We were knee deep in the psychic, cream-filled sludge when Taber hopped in,” says Thompson. “His avatar was holding a Les Paul with a broken neck, and he asked if either of us knew how to fix it. So, I said, ‘I’ve got some atomic tape and chewed-up stun-gum. Let’s do this.’” The slimy, shifty dark-bluegrass trio began playing their music on the streets of downtown Athens. It was there where they realized the band needed a fuller sound, so they added anti-pianist JoyJoy Holmes, rhythm didgeridooist Ben Flatwood and quail-egg shaker Zakkary Sinus to the mix. Taber & the Utopians had finally achieved the full-blown, synth-heavy, classic-rock sound that they had always strived for.

acoustic set in an abandoned parking deck on Normaltown’s Yonah Avenue and was “captivated” by their original sound. “When I first heard them, I was taken aback. For six kids with beat-up guitars, those boys knew how to lay down a lightning-fast country groove,” says Roy. Mute Monotony showcases the Utopians’ varied talents and influences. With the help of New New West’s budding transdimensional arm, the EP’s riff-rocking blast-beats and weed-faded vocals literally transport listeners to the fictional, post-apocalyptic realm where the songs are set. According to self-proclaimed “technominimalist sound warrior” Montalvo, Mute Monotony is a commentary on the reckless progression of big government. The EP follows a robotic teenager on the run from the dictatorial Athens-Clarke County regime. Montalvo calls it “a metaphor” for his life. “I would love nothing more than for the government to try to apprehend us for the radical ideas we are transmitting into the community,” says Montalvo. “In the words of the late Sameer Gadhia [the lead singer of obscure retro-rock band Young the Giant], ‘Life’s too short to even care at all.’’’

Even after signing a record deal, the blues-rap ensemble continues to play downtown to an audience of zero almost daily. “It’s gotten to the point where I almost can’t be engaged in my music unless I know there is no one watching me,” says Montalvo, adding that “exposure is overrated… I really hope this article is never published.” Few are eagerly awaiting the release of the Utopians’ first studio effort, which Montalvo calls the band’s “capstone art piece.” Though the official name of the project is yet to be released, Montalvo says the robotic teen will make a cameo appearance. “If this album could talk, it would say, ‘I am the voice of a generation,’” says Sinus, who plans to try his hand at tambourine on the upcoming recording. f

The parcel’s been “crawling” with surveyors for a month, Commissioner Kelly Girtz said. No details were available at press time about who the buyer might be or what they have in store. The Atlanta archdiocese did not respond to a request for comment. The property is zoned commercial-office, a relatively light designation. Whoever develops it will undoubtably seek approval from the commission for a denser planned development, and any sale is likely contingent on that approval. However, no plans had been filed on Friday. The downtown master plan (whose director, Jack Crowley, it should be noted, is also on St. Joe’s building committee) calls for the church to be repurposed, along with a small 20,000–30,000 square-foot commercial building and a “medium density” multifamily building, townhouses along Childs Street, single-family homes off Pulaski and a two-level parking deck on the back of the property with primary access from Prince, secondary access from Childs and pedestrian but not vehicular access from Pulaski.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ April 1, 2015

Commissioners Melissa Link and Girtz were openly skeptical of the idea that ACC could pull off that sleight of hand when land downtown is selling for $1 million an acre. Berryman offered a potential solution: Severely downzone downtown, restricting density and land uses to make it unsellable and force developers to the bargaining table. “You change the market value of that property, and unless you subsidize it, it’s not going to be redeveloped,” he said. Normally, TADS are used to encourage development of blighted neighborhoods or properties—a Costco in a rundown part of Augusta, for example, or Atlantic Station in Atlanta, built on an environmental nightmare of a brownfield. The issue in Athens, though, as Link noted, is not that there’s no development, but that the development isn’t necessarily what we want. “We might want to consider a moratorium [on downtown development] until we figure this stuff out,” she said. Ironically, the many developments currently under construction downtown could also contribute to a TAD if they’re not finished by the end of the year, when property-tax values are set. “At the end of the day, we want projects to be built to help us pay for the public projects that are on the table,” Commissioner Mike Hamby said. Gold Dome Watch: A lite version of Senate Bill 63, the “Beer Jobs Bill,” passed the Georgia House overwhelmingly last Friday. It’s not quite what craft breweries thirsted for, since it merely allows them to charge for tours and give away growlers or six-packs to send home, rather than sell beer directly to the public. Athens brewery Creature Comforts withdrew its support in a recent blog post that also blasted Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle for using his influence to wreck the bill at the behest of alcohol distributors. (Cagle’s office did not respond to a request for comment.) Due to some tweaks—in the House version, distilleries can give away fifths, but brewpubs can’t sell growlers to go—SB 63 has to go back to the Senate for another vote. The House surprisingly voted down SB 139—the plastic bag ban ban that Mayor Denson lobbied for lest commissioners force you to remember those canvas bags in your trunk or pay a few pennies. SB 129, the “religious liberty” bill, also surprisingly failed to make it through the House, as supporters could not agree on wording that the LGBT community fears would legalize discrimination. Another bill that affects Athens—prohibiting the state from seeking LEED green-building certification—won final passage in the Senate. The just-opened University of Georgia veterinary teaching hospital on College Station Road is LEED Gold, but under this law, UGA would no longer be able to seek LEED certification, because LEED doesn’t recognize most Georgia lumber as sustainable. f

Meet Your New School Superintendent Surprise! It’s Not the Guy You Elected to the Job By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com If you want to meet the person who’s the real state school superintendent, it’s easy to find his office. Go to the second floor of the state capitol and look for the door marked “Governor.” Then ask the receptionist if you can say hello to Nathan Deal. The General Assembly’s passage of legislation authorizing a state takeover of low-performing schools ensures that the state superintendent will be Deal—not that guy named Richard Woods whom the voters elected last year. Local school boards that are supposed to make the decisions on running public schools are going to become obsolete as well. Georgia will have an “Opportunity School District” headed by a person who answers only to the governor. This unelected official will have the power to take over the operation of a school, shut it down or convert it to a charter school. Deal says his takeover program will put poorly performing schools on the road to success. “We know from other states such as Louisiana and Tennessee that these programs can produce positive results for students and communities,” he said when his proposal was rolled out. It would be great if that actually happened, but history suggests otherwise. This is a path Govs. Roy Barnes and Sonny Perdue, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and President George W. Bush all traveled several times in recent years. The reality is that Georgia’s schools still rank low in such measurements as average SAT scores and high school graduation rates. I will take the governor at his word that he really wants to improve the performance of public schools. But this latest proposal appears to be more about grabbing money than about educating kids.

The key to the Opportunity School District is its authority to convert a traditional public school to a charter school. There is a fast-growing business sector of for-profit companies that make big bucks by managing charter schools. When Deal’s takeover plan has been implemented, you can expect these out-of-state companies to swoop into Georgia, sign lucrative contracts with the Opportunity School District to manage the schools that are being converted, and be paid large sums of tax money for their services. A clear indication that this will happen is the fact that StudentsFirst, an organization that lobbies for the expansion of charter schools, recently paid the tab for Deal and other state officials to take a “fact-finding” trip to New Orleans where a similar takeover program was enacted. Charter school management firms clearly have Georgia on their minds as the next big opportunity to extract profits from taxpayers. There is still one political hurdle for Deal to clear. Voters will have to approve a constitutional amendment on the ballot in 2016. It is safe to predict that the amendment will pass, probably by a similar margin as Deal’s amendment in 2012 to establish the state charter school commission. Charter school foundations and lobbyists will likely pour millions into the campaign to promote the amendment’s passage. The creation of the Opportunity School District may turn out to be a good thing for students, or it may result in the looting of the state treasury. Either way, the governor effectively becomes the superintendent in charge of running public schools. Richard Woods and the people who serve on local school boards will just have to find some other way to pass their time. f

Cooking the CSA Way Get Boxes of Food from Local Farms This Spring By Jodi Cash news@flagpole.com Joining a CSA can be a daunting thing. Not everyone is accustomed to finding a use for bulk seasonal fruits, vegetables and/ or meats on a weekly basis. But don’t let the idea of a box of veggies frighten you; joining a CSA is one of the best ways to support local agriculture while filling your own fridge. According to Sarah Lockman, pastry chef of The National and assistant to the pastry department at Five & Ten, the key to making the most of your CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) lies in meal planning. Jodi Cash

Sarah Lockman plans a meal in her kitchen.

Lockman belongs to the brand new Collective Harvest CSA and Community Meat Co. Both of these CSAs are the work of multiple farms—Collective Harvest provides her produce and is made up of Front Field Farm, Full Moon Cooperative and Diamond Hill Farm; Community Meat Co. is composed of Anderson Farms pastured pork, Little Flock pastured poultry and Wagon Wheel Ranch’s certified grass-fed beef. She’s found that belonging to a CSA makes it easier for her to eat healthy and to prevent being overwhelmed by options, as she is when she walks into a supermarket. And although she is a skilled cook of more than just pastries, she believes CSAs are a great way to improve culinary abilities at any level. “Doing a CSA is a really good way just to get in the practice of standing at the stove or at the grill or roasting something—just that daily practice with limited options can be super, super liberating,� Lockman says. When she receives her shares each week, she finds inspiration--a surprise palette of what’s in season. Then she strategizes how she will best use it.

“Almost every Sunday, I actually sort of old-school-style meal plan. It’s something my mom used to do,� she says. Typically, she plans a frittata with vegetables for breakfast and lunch of a legume, vegetable and grain that she cooks in bulk to last the whole week. And then she makes loose plans for five dinners she’ll cook throughout the week. She’s found that CSAs can expand your horizons in more than one way. Despite being an adventurous eater and a versatile cook, even she has been introduced to new things by her CSA experiences—among them, radishes. “I have roasted them, I have braised them, I have used them for dipping things more than I would, and they have really grown on me,� she says. To supplement what she receives by way of CSA, Lockman keeps a well-supplied pantry of grains, vinegars, oils, spices and preserves (many of which she’s made from produce in past CSA seasons). She also recommends growing herbs like thyme, mint, oregano and basil as a simple and inexpensive way to elevate most any dish. And for Lockman, belonging to a CSA is more than having ingredients for great meals. “It’s not just helping the farm get rid of veggies, and it’s not just helping yourself get veggies; it’s investing in them in general,� she says. “It’s like a subscription, like I believe in you enough to give you money up front that allows you to plan your future, and plan the next year and plant your garden in the fall. It just gives them the security that they have no other way of getting.� This spring, there are a multitude of CSAs for Athens residents to choose among, most of which will be opening up for membership in the near future if they aren’t open already. The Athens Land Trust offers a Certified Naturally Grown produce CSA from Apr. 14–Aug. 11 and a flower share from May 19–Aug. 11. Collective Harvest is open now and begins on Apr. 14. It runs for 16 weeks, but people can join late at a prorated cost. Woodland Gardens is an organic farm with a program a little different from a CSA that runs from April to December in four-weeklong sessions, and members of this program can add organic eggs or flowers to their produce shares. The Veggie Patch is also certified organic and has a CSA spanning from March to December, although you can also enlist for shorter memberships by season. The Community Meat Co. membership is filled for the April to June season, but those interested in being members from July to September can sign up on June 1. Darby Farms offers a variety of pastured protein options, ranging in size and meat combinations for CSA membership from May to August. f

Reunited in Remembrance AlanFest Celebrates Art, Music, the Outdoors By Carolyn Crist music@flagpole.com

W

hen AlanFest president Kevin Carlan passed away in March, his fellow festival co-founders knew it would be even more emotionally tough to get through this April’s event. They decided to dedicate this year’s festival to both Carlan and David Alan Lewis. “They both brought us together,� says Meara Spillum, the festival’s program coordinator and one of the co-founders of the David Alan Lewis Foundation. “We lost another one of our family.�

attempting to rescue his dog from the edge of a waterfall while hiking with Spillum in South Carolina in April 2011. What started as a somber event in 2012 has morphed into a celebration. “It’s still tough to handle the emotions of losing Alan,� Spillum says. “[But] for me, this has evolved into a family reunion every year.� Spillum now lives in New York City, and other co-founders work in California, Tennessee and Colorado. They enjoy putting the festival together to stay in touch,

talk to them on the phone as often without this.� This weekend’s event features bands playing at Live Wire Athens, the Georgia Theatre rooftop, Blind Pig and Terrapin Brewery. (See the complete schedule in this week’s Calendar.) Proceeds will endow the David Alan Lewis Memorial Scholarship in Landscape Architecture at UGA. The festival celebrates its namesake’s love for the outdoors, music and art. “Every year is a learning experience, but this was the smoothest year [of planning] yet,� Spillum says. “I think the lineup is one of the best we’ve had. I can’t wait.� When the members of Dangermuffin, a roots-rock trio from Folly Beach, SC, met Lewis’ brother-in-law in Myrtle Beach last month, they said they would be honored to play in his memory. Frontman Dan Lotti says he feels a connection to Lewis’ interest in the outdoors. “Living close to the ocean, and touring the country over the past five years, we’ve been completely inspired by natural beauty and energy,� he says. “We have a reverence for nature, this living and conscious entity.� The inspiration shows up in Dangermuffin’s latest release, Songs for the Universe, which they plan to highlight on Saturday at Live Wire. The group looks forward to returning to Athens, where they’ve previously played shows at the Georgia Theatre and Melting Point. “Athens is one of the best music towns in the Southeast, and it’s [got] an amazing,

historic music scene,� Lotti says. “We like the sensibility of the scene and the true music fans.� Moon Hooch, a percussion-and-saxophone trio from Brooklyn, NY, will headline the Friday show at Live Wire; the band plans to incorporate several new songs and instruments. In line with AlanFest’s mission, the group is in the middle of shooting a documentary about sustainability. “We’re about sustainability and sustainable practices,� says drummer James Muschler. “We’re looking forward to the great energy and atmosphere at this festival.� On Saturday afternoon, an outdoor bazaar at Live Wire will feature vendors and artists selling candles, soaps, ceramics and jewelry. New this year, the Athens Area Humane Society will offer puppies for adoption. Charlie, Lewis’ beloved dog, will also be there. “Alan lost his life saving his dog, and we want to help these animals who need good homes,� Spillum says. “Animals, music and the outdoors are huge for us.� f

muttering to himself; the man made the claim to police that Run the Jewels had stolen his lyrics, as well as his money. Before the assailant was apprehended by security, Mike threw a punch, tearing his rotator cuff in the process. Against his doctor’s wishes, Mike is continuing on tour and refusing to wear a sling. You can’t make this stuff up. Despite the injury, and a seemingly insane touring schedule, El-P claims the group is on the fast track to Run the Jewels 3. And with the unrest that characterized

ade up of legendary Brooklynbased producer and rapper El-P and once-underrated Atlanta MC Killer Mike, hip hop duo Run the Jewels is built on constant forward momentum. After El-P provided production for Killer Mike’s 2012 solo LP, R.A.P. Music, and enlisted Mike for a feature on his own album, Cancer 4 Cure, a true collaborative project seemed like the natural next step. Their debut, Run the Jewels, was released in summer 2013 to critical fanfare. Light on hooks but heavy on aggressive beats and unforgiving, rapid-fire rhymes, it was an absolute powerhouse of an album. Despite a heavy touring schedule, a follow-up, Run the Jewels 2, was released just one year later, in fall 2014. Critical and fan reaction was swift and immense. In the year between the two albums, America had gone through significant changes. In the wake of awful displays of police brutality in Ferguson, MO and elsewhere, public disgust with unjust authority was at an all-time high. The taut, explosive Run the Jewels 2 dropped one month before a grand jury decided not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson for the killing of black teenager Michael Brown. The sense of urgency in Run the Jewels’ music was kicked up several notches. All that pent-up aggression now had specific targets. No more were Mike and El-P’s lyrics aimed at nameless fuckboys and nondescript nobodies trying to jack their style. Instead, the white-hot intensity of songs like “Close Your Eyes (and Count to Fuck)” and “Blockbuster Night Part 1” was perfectly in tune with the zeitgeist. Mike and El-P had been outspoken about such societal injustices for their entire careers prior, but now they had the attention of the masses. As they toured the country behind Run the Jewels 2, they promulgated their platform through both music and an unrepentant onstage energy. Meanwhile, Mike appeared on a series of cable news shows, speaking boldly against authoritative violence and racially motivated police cruelty. Intentionally or not, Run the Jewels had provided the soundtrack to a revolution. While the group continues to figuratively fight back against senseless violence, Run the Jewels was recently involved in a literal scuffle that may have an effect on the rest of their current tour. During SXSW, Mike and El-P were attacked onstage in the middle of a performance by an allegedly unstable man who had been seen walking the streets of Austin

ACADEMIC FOR THE PEOPLE: Athens composer T.S. Woodward has completed the album that constitutes his senior thesis for his interdisciplinary popular music composition major at UGA. It’s been a long time coming, but Woodward will present this thesis Wednesday, Apr. 1 at the Dancz Center for New Music, where he says the majority

of it was recorded and mixed. His recital consists of two parts. The first is a complete playback of the album, How to Breathe Underwater, and the second is a live performance of “B-sides and other material.â€? Woodward will be at the piano, of course, joined by Zeke Sayer, Nicholas Mallis, Dave Kirslis, Jeff Webber, Matthew Garrison and Ember Remliel. MYSTERY DATE: Longtime Athens musician Laura Morgan told me that her band Ranch is playing with The Knockouts in a benefit for Project Safe on Saturday, Apr. 4 at Flicker Theatre & Bar. The show costs $5, and that’s literally all I know. No, there’s nothing on the web to help you, either. Vaya con dios, hombres. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!: Because it seems like we can’t even go one week around here without Mux Blank having some sort of thing going on, let’s not break tradition and go ahead and mention that his Moonlight Gypsy Market happens Saturday, Apr. 4 at Iron Factory. Featured performers are Mr. Blank’s Weird & Wandering Sideshow, of course, along with Xulu Prophet, Dux, In Sonitus Lux, The Psychedelic Wolf Folk Harmony and Genetic Outcast. For more information, see facebook.com/moonlightgypsymarket. BITS ’N’ BOBS: Hope for Agoldensummer is doing a short spring tour and will play Athens twice in the space of just over a week. The first show is Apr. 2 at Normaltown Hall, and the second is Apr. 11 at the Athens Farmers Market at Bishop Park. Please note, this second show is at 10 a.m.‌ Secret Europeans is playing a release show for its debut album, Love Don’t Stop, Saturday, Apr. 4 at the Caledonia Lounge. This time, the Mandy Branch (Motherfucker)-headed project will feature Gene Woolfolk (The Powder Room) and Patrick Ferguson (The Powder Room, Five Eight). Also on the bill this night are rapper Donny Knottsville and the brand new group Noseeum, which includes such mid-2000s Athens superstars as Drew Smith (Life Is A Fight, Chrissakes, Chartreuse), Gabe Vodicka (Erutrevo, Long Legged Woman, Flagpole) and Keven Gilbert and Shannon Rupp (Kilroy). Recognize! See facebook.com/secreteuropeans and facebook.com/ NoseeumBand for more information. f

record review 3ft: I Am Derrick (Independent Release) Keefie Johnson’s new mixtape as 3ft is taut with emotion. Down to its title, I Am Derrick is billed as a tribute to Johnson’s late brother, who was murdered in Athens in 2012. But despite the heavy subject matter, Derrick is neither overwrought nor overly bellicose. Johnson uses grief and anger as a starting point, not a focal point; the record reflects growth and transformation. Not everything pans out. There are a few oddball tunes that, while testaments to Johnson’s versatility, seem strange, given the tape’s theme. The promise of guest Ruby’s appearance on “Saying Nothing� is undercut by the song’s boilerplate production. Likewise, the requisite fuck jam “Perka-Sex� feels underdone and out of place. But the mid-tape bangers make Derrick worth the cost of admission. Songs like “Wait,� with a spooky backing track, courtesy of Block Banga, that would make Shawty Redd blush, and “Andale,� which features the most convincing use of autotune this side of I-285 and a fiery guest verse from local MC Squalle, are among the strongest local hip hop tracks this year. Surprises await. “Pick It Up� is a pensive, moving slice of vapor-rap. “Kno U Like Me,� produced by local rock engineer Joel Hatstat, serves as a subtle reminder to Athens that scene exclusivity is way overrated.

() Brooklyn, Boovs, Prison & Africa 1" , There’s Something for Everybody This Week , By Drew Wheeler

WILD CANARIES (NR) Wild Canaries purports to be a quirky independent murder mystery but ends up proving that adding “independentâ€? to a film does not automatically make it better than a wide-release blockbuster. Writer-director Lawrence Michael Levine’s hipster mystery (Hitch-ster?) stars himself and his real-life wife, Sophia Takal, as a Brooklyn couple embroiled in intrigue after an elderly neighbor, Sylvia (Marylouise Burke), dies. Barri (Takal) thinks the killer is Sylvia’s strange son, Anthony (Kevin Corrigan, who is good at playing someone you would suspect of murder). Then, she suspects their philandering artist landlord, Damien (Jason “Son of Johnâ€? Ritter). While Noah (Levine) refuses to indulge his fiancĂŠe’s fancies, the couple’s lesbian roommate, Jean (Alia Shawkat), does indulge her, as a means of maybe winning over Barri, with whom she is in love.

I’m adopted?!

Noah is in constant flirtation with his ex and business partner, Eleanor (Annie Parisse), who also is a lesbian. The comedy juggles a lot of narrative balls, most of which fall humorously flat. Unfortunately, Wild Canaries is not as smart, funny or cute as it imagines itself to be. The birdlike Takal makes Barri’s irrational accusations and harebrained sleuthing as cute as possible but is more frustrating than charming. Noah’s perpetual near-infidelity grants his character no quarter. Poor Jean might be the movie’s nicest character, and she’s left holding the unrequited love candle, leaving Shawkat little to do. The red herrings are pretty fishy, but so is the resolution. Letting these Wild Canaries go might be the humane thing to do. HOME (PG) Surprisingly, DreamWorks’ latest animated feature is one of the more painful recent kids movies through which an adult could suffer. Granted, fans of “The Big Bang Theory� (and Emmy voters) might appreciate Jim Parsons’ quirky shtick as he brings Sheldon to the big screen as Oh, a mistake-prone member of the Boov species. The Boov are natural cowards, and they have decided to invade Earth for their latest hideout from the Gorg (think “TNG�’s Borg, but spikier). Good thing Oh befriends Gratuity “Tip� Tucci (v. Rihanna), who is looking for her mom (v. Jennifer Lopez).

The duo plus Tip’s cat, Pig, traverse the globe from NYC to Paris to Australia, as they run from lead Boov Captain Smek (v. Steve Martin), and Oh’s not-quite pal, Kyle (v. Matt Jones, Badger in “Breaking Badâ€?). When the movie’s not an impromptu Rihanna music video (the star’s songs litter the soundtrack), it relies on cute animation and predictable obstacles. Astute moviegoers will name this movie’s plot in one note. In its defense, the kids seemed to love it. GET HARD (R) The success of this highconcept comedy really depends on one’s tolerance for rising star Kevin Hart and setting sun Will Ferrell. As convicted rich guy James King, Ferrell gets to play a nicer brand of egomaniac. Convicted of embezzlement, James enlists the only black guy he doesn’t fear, Darnell (Hart), to train him to survive San Quentin, because he mistakenly believes the khaki-wearing carwash owner has been in jail. Instead, Darnell seeks advice from Get Hard his ex-con cousin, Russell (T.I.). Get Hard smartly keeps its sketchy sequences moving, and the lead duo play nicely off one another. They emit a definite ‘80s buddy vibe. The climax-on-a-boat has a Fletch-y vibe, though the funny flick holds no surprises. One knows the real bad guy as soon as the opening cast list scrolls by. Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen survives his directorial debut with barely a scratch, though as a cowriter, alongside Jay Martel and Ian Roberts (Ferrell regular Adam McKay gets a story co-credit), he could have dropped a few of the prison-rape jokes and found more stuff for the funny ladies to do. Alison Brie is absolutely wasted as King’s former fiancĂŠe. Get Hard’s 100 minutes are a pretty light sentence, compared to other high-profile “comedies.â€?

THE GUNMAN (R) Sean Penn winds up looking more like Marc Maron than Liam Neeson in his bid to take some of the older action biz from the Taken star. Penn’s Terrier was responsible for a diplomatic assassination in the Congo. When he returns to the African nation nearly a decade later, there’s a bounty on his head. Most of the early drama is focused on the love triangle between Terrier, a hot doc named Annie (Jasmine Trinca) and Javier Bardem’s sleazy-from-the-start Felix. With Ray Winstone and Idris Elba, The Gunman certainly fills its tough-British quota, but director Pierre Morel cannot recapture the Taken magic with Penn’s brand of tough “charm.� The star surely is ripped though; he could give Tom Cruise a run for his money in the ab department. More political than personal—exactly as one would expect from a star vehicle cowritten by Penn—Gunman is off-target. f

Prior to the fire, much of Robinson’s work had been inspired by the 1940s jazz scene and time spent in Africa, a trip made possible through the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Fellowship. Over 30 pieces created between the ‘40s–‘80s were highlighted at GMOA in a 2006 exhibit that showcased Robinson’s varied styles and lifelong growth as an artist through a diverse collection of sculptures, egg tempera paintings, drawings and mixed-media creations. Though devastated by the fire, Robinson emerged reinvented, creating abstract pieces influenced by his new studies in molecular physics, biology and constellations.

Arts in Community Grants: The Athens Cultural Affairs Commission has announced not two—as originally intended—but three recipients of $1,000 Arts in Community Grants. The grants, which were established to promote creative place-making and enrichment, support public art projects spanning between visual art, performance, events and technology. The Pinewoods Garden Communal Oven, a project for the Pinewoods Trailer Park led by Chris McDowell and Kira Hegeman of the UGA College of Environment and Design, will utilize donated materials from the Material Reuse Program to create a

decorative mosaic. Middle school art teachers Elizabeth Debban and Jordan Perry will receive a grant for Take a Seat! Twenty wooden benches will be designed and built by 60–120 eighth grade art students attending Franklin County Middle School and Clarke Middle School, then distributed

throughout town to public spaces. Helping Art Reach Public Spaces (HARPS), coordinated by Flanigan’s Portrait Studio owner Broderick Flanigan, will install LED lights at the Triangle Plaza in East Athens. All three projects will be completed by the end of the year, with progress appearing on athensculturalaffairs.org. The Georgia Review: Marking its 69th year of quarterly publications, literary journal The Georgia Review will celebrate the release of its Spring 2015 issue with a free launch party on Friday, Apr. 3 at 7 p.m. at CinĂŠ. Headlining reader Coleman Barks, a longtime Athenian who taught American literature and creative writing at UGA for 30 years, was first published in The Georgia Review over four decades ago. He is a fine poet in his own right and is internationally renowned for his poetic translations of 13th-Century Persian mystic Rumi, and has published 21 volumes since the mid-‘70s, including The Essential Rumi and The Book of Love. Poet, writer and UGA PhD candidate Jeff Fallis will also read from his works, and the readings will be bookended with performances by John Fernandes on violin, clarinet and bass clarinet and Alec Livaditis on cello. Full of fiction, essays, poetry, art and reviews, the new issue includes love stories by Jessica Hollander, Charles McLeod and Miles Wilson; essays by Marvin Bell, Christopher Merrill and Scott Russell Sanders; and poetry by 10 writers, including Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Dunn, Bob Hicok and Georgia poet laureate Judson Mitcham. The issue opens with “Of Yalta,â€? by the 2014 Loraine Williams Poetry Prize Winner Erin Adair-Hodges, and Bianca Stone contributes a 12-page art spread, “We Dust the Walls: A Poetry Comic.â€? Copies of The Georgia Review’s spring issue will be available to pick up at the launch party, as will select titles by Barks. f

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $26 Adam Granduciel’s songs take a long time to unfold. They start out as a swirl of familiar elements—Tom Petty guitars, Infidels-era Bob Dylan drums— that threatens to slip past the listener unnoticed. But then a moment arises, a subtle shift, like a note of rising urgency in Granduciel’s voice to usher in the chorus, or a plaintive piano chord in the bridge, and all the elements fall right into place. The Philadelphia-based band received high critical accolades for last year’s Lost in the Dream, a masterpiece of muted indie rock intensity. What seems hazy on first listen turns out to be taut and precise; what seems familiar unfolds into something new and strange. [Marshall Yarbrough]
