FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 8, 2015

Last week, with July 4 approaching, Flagpole got a press release from an Atlanta veterinary clinic entitled, “Don’t Let the Fourth of July Be a Dangerous Day for Pets.” Among other things, it emphasized that fireworks can cause panic in animals, so, naturally, I thought of Brown Dog, especially since we parked next to where he used to live when we drove down to Lexington for our annual July 4 repast at Paul’s Bar-BQ—“Open Saturdays and the 4th of July.”

Saturday was also the Fourth of July this time, so it was a convergence not to be missed, sort of like what Venus and Jupiter were doing in the night sky.

I have written about Brown Dog several times before, but that’s no excuse not to do it again. I have written about Ralph Maxwell, too, and can never say enough about him. I guess you’d call him a vanishing breed, though his son and namesake Ralph, Jr. has done a great job of following in his footsteps.

When I started out in the newspaper business with absolutely no experience or background in journalism, Ralph Maxwell was the owner, editor and publisher of The Oglethorpe Echo and the managing partner in Greater Georgia Printers, the central printing plant established by several weekly papers in the Athens area.

Like his counterparts all over Georgia, Ralph Maxwell covered public meetings and wrote about them; he wrote editorials giving his opinion on matters of the day; he laid out the paper, sold and composed the ads, printed the paper on a flatbed press, delivered the paper and then spent the rest of the week printing leaflets and circulars and any other kind of printed matter people needed. He continued to do all that except print the paper once Greater Georgia started.

What made Ralph Maxwell so effective as a journalist was a skill they probably don’t teach in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication: He was a mechanic; he knew how to fix machinery and keep it running. By the time I met him, Ralph Maxwell had already spent several decades running presses and his Linotype machine—the pre-computer, giant contraption that converted keystrokes into metal letters forged from molten lead, letters that had to be assembled into galleys that printed newspaper pages. The Linotype, like the flatbed presses, was a marvel of the mechanical age, and like anything mechanical could break down at the worst times, leaving you a journalist in name only. Mr. Maxwell had been in even tougher situations when during

World War II he was an engineer on a ship steaming back and forth between America and Britain, through waters infested with German submarines. If something broke down out there, Mr. Maxwell told me, you had to fix it somehow, because you surely couldn’t send off for help or parts.

Well, Brown Dog was one in a line of Mr. Maxwell’s canine office companions, and he was a big, brown dog who made his circuit every day in downtown Lexington, checking around for girlfriends needing attention and investigating to see if any lawyers visiting the courthouse had left their lunch sandwich (again) under their car to keep it out of the heat. Brown Dog resided in the bushes in front of the Echo office, and only on the coldest nights did he sleep inside by the wood stove.

Alas! One Fourth of July, a passerby reported to Mr. Maxwell that Brown Dog had attended the fireworks show at the high school and had been so spooked by the explosions that he ran across the highway and was killed by an oncoming truck. Mr. Maxwell drove to the school and collected Brown Dog’s body. He took his friend home, and with a heavy heart buried him in the backyard.

It’s hard to see how such a pitiful story could have a happy ending, but it did, for Brown Dog. When Mr. Maxwell arrived at the Echo office the next morning, he was stunned to find Brown Dog in his usual place in front of the office, eagerly awaiting his breakfast. It quickly became clear that Mr. Maxwell had buried another dog.

In spite of his sympathy for that stranger missing a pet, he had reason to celebrate that Fourth of July. I like it that this happened to Mr. Maxwell and Brown Dog at the newspaper office, because it is indeed a lesson for journalists about how appearances can be so deceiving that even an experienced observer like Ralph Maxwell can believe what he has been told, rather than what he has seen with his own eyes.

You’ve got to know where the bodies are buried, but it’s just as important to know who’s who. f

PEOPLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHOICE AWARD WINNER!

Toilet to Tap Deal with Water Resources, or Drink from the Sewer

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com This is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in California, as the state tries to cope with a record-breaking drought now in its fourth year. Some state officials are proposing that the Golden State implement a water-recycling policy that is known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;direct potable reuse.â&#x20AC;?

Direct potable reuse involves taking sewer water, treating it through a threestep process and pumping it directly back into the water supply, so that it can be used for drinking. Critics of the concept refer to it somewhat distastefully as â&#x20AC;&#x153;toilet to tap.â&#x20AC;?

In California, we could be looking at the future of water supplies in Georgia, where there have been two serious droughts over the past 15 years. Readers may remember that the second drought was so prolonged, then-governor Sonny Perdue held a rally on the Capitol steps to pray for rain.

These droughts are a result of global warming, which means we will likely see more of them in the future. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relish the thought of having reclaimed sewer water pour out of my tap during the next drought, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the alternative?

One step would be to enact a stronger package of conservation regulations, so that the water we do have can last longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conservationâ&#x20AC;? is a bad word with much of Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political leadership. If you talk about requiring the use of plumbing fixtures that are more water-efficient, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll complain about â&#x20AC;&#x153;burdensomeâ&#x20AC;? government regulations. The attitude of our elected leaders has been that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to spend billions of dollars to impound reservoirs or inject water into underground aquifers than to encourage people to use less of it.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dirty little secret: We do a good job of conserving water when we set our minds to it. Research by the U.S. Geological Survey shows that during the

period from 1980â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2010, Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water use decreased by 30 percent, even though its population increased by more than 70 percent. The withdrawals from water sources dropped from 6.7 billion gallons per day to 4.7 billion gallons per day.

Part of that decrease resulted from people doing a better job of conserving water.

Part of it happened because utilities shut down several coal-fired generation plants, which use a lot of water, and replaced them with natural gas facilities that use less.

There are some simple measures that could keep that trend going. Instead of spending tax dollars to fight an expensive water war with Florida and Alabama, Georgia could settle the litigation by lowering its demands for water from reservoirs and rivers. The money spent on legal fees could be used on programs to encourage more conservation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are talking a lot of money and a result you may not like,â&#x20AC;? special master Ralph Lancaster, who is overseeing the case, said recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to urge you to discuss a settlement seriously.â&#x20AC;?

Georgia Power should be commended for closing down many of its coal-fired power plants, but another drain on water supplies is the operation of nuclear power plants.

The Public Service Commission could terminate the Plant Vogtle expansion projectâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which it has the authority to doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and instruct Georgia Power to build a gas-fired plant that uses less water.

All of these steps could feasibly be accomplished, although there would be tremendous political pressure brought to bear by the utilities and the business lobbyists. On the other hand, if you would rather drink water that comes from a river than from a sewer line, you might want to think about taking these actions. f

White Oak Pastures

Heat Islands Make the Urban Environment Feel Even Hotter

A Visit to Georgia’s Largest Organic Farm

By Jason Perry news@flagpole.com

By Jodi Cash news@flagpole.com Besides all of the erosion and contaminants that this runoff brings with it, the elevated temperature can really throw aquatic ecosystems off balance.

Take a look at your favorite online satellite imagery site, and you’ll notice that there are a lot of white roofs on the large commercial and industrial buildings around Athens and the UGA campus. The primary reason for these is to reflect sunlight and directly reduce cooling demands—and is the reason why Georgia Power offers a rebate for them—but they are also excellent mitigators of the heat island effect. On the other hand, developers continue to lay vast, treeless expanses of black asphalt parking lots and wide roadways. (I defy you to stand for three minutes in the middle of the Epps Bridge Centre parking hellscape.)

Athens certainly has an impressive tree canopy, and it’s important to keep it that way. It will be a shame when the mature trees on Clayton Street are cut down when Athens-Clarke County replaces the side-

So you say you want to know where your food comes from. White Oak Pastures is among many farms happy to make that dream a reality, as agrotourism catches on throughout the state.

White Oak Pastures has been in the Harris family for more than 150 years.

Passed down through five generations, the farm spent most of its history producing only cattle. Today, the farm sprawls over 2,500 acres (most owned, some leased) with 10 species of animals and organic produce flourishing in the tiny town of Bluffton, about 40 miles west of Albany.

to write about White Oak. What we experienced was precisely what’s available to anyone with an interest in what the farm does—it’s a part of the agro-tourism experience that Harris’ daughter Jodi Benoit has made possible for the general public in the last year.

“We didn’t anticipate the tourism thing,” Benoit said, “It just kind of happened.”

People began coming to White Oak Pastures out of curiosity, to see humane animal husbandry scaled up and thriving. There are five cabins for guests during their visits to White Oak Pastures, all of Jodi Cash

If you’re one of the thousands of sunburnt AthFest revelers who continued sweating long into the weekend nights, you can blame the rock ‘n’ roll, but you should also blame the Urban Heat Island effect.

When sunlight reaches our atmosphere, some radiation is reflected back out to space, some passes through and is reflected by the earth’s surface, and some is absorbed.

That absorbed solar radiation is stored as heat, which re-radiates as infrared; this is an important component of the greenhouse effect. If you’ve ever walked past a westfacing brick wall on a summer evening and felt its heat on your bare skin, that’s infrared (thermal) radiation. It’ll smack you right in the face if you step out onto an unshaded asphalt parking lot on a hot summer day.

As humans change the pattern of land use from forest and grass to buildings and hardscape, we change the reflective and thermal properties of our surroundings.

Brick, concrete, asphalt, dark roofs—they all absorb solar radiation and can hold a Joshua L. Jones

lot of heat (think about a pizza stone or cast iron pan). Trees and grass are not very reflective, but rather than simply absorb and hold heat, they use the sun’s energy to convert liquid water to water vapor.

Urban heat islands have higher summer surface and air temperatures, day and night, than their suburban and rural surroundings. This leads to more energy use for air conditioning, refrigeration and, presumably, sweet tea and ice production.

More energy means more fossil fuel consumption, which means more greenhouse gas production, which indirectly exacerbates the urban heat island effect. Higher temperatures and sunlight accelerate the chemical reactions that turn motor vehicle exhaust and gasoline vapors into groundlevel ozone, which contributes to respiratory problems that keep more people inside (refer back to air conditioning).

Storm runoff from impervious surfaces causes water quality problems on its own.

But hot hardscapes warm up the runoff as it flows towards storm sewers, increasing its temperature substantially before it gets to the Oconee rivers or their tributaries.

walks, for example. (The city says they can’t be moved or saved and is planting new trees.) Encourage your government to push for planted road medians. If you have trees of your own, take care of them, and plant young ones to fill in when the old ones die.

Even medium-height shrubs planted near buildings, especially on the west face, can mitigate the heat island effect.

If you are in a position to replace a roof, look for cool roof options: white membranes for flat roofs, and metal or reflective shingles for sloped roofs. New materials should be Energy Star rated and have a high SRI (Solar Reflectance Index).

Consider cool paving materials. There are several options, including asphalt mixed with or coated with high reflectance additives, permeable concrete, permeable pavers (vegetated or non-vegetated), fly ash concrete and good ol’ gravel. It is important to apply these options wisely, though—a reflective paved area next to a building may simply reflect heat into the structure. f Have a question for the Greensplainer?

White Oak Pastures is a name worth knowing for many reasons. It’s the largest organic farm in our state, one of the most prominent sustainable and humane animal producers in the country and the only farm in the nation that has USDA approved abattoirs on the premises to process the animals they raise. But they’re interested in more than just keeping the animals healthy and happy; they’ve created a noteworthy work culture for the people employed by the farm.

The majority of people who live in Bluffton work at White Oak Pastures—it’s a large number of employees for a farm, but a small number of people for a town.

Bluffton reported only 103 residents in the 2010 census. The town saw a steep decline in population after World War II, when many of the farm jobs were taken from men and given to machines. The farm employed only three people in its day of conventional cattle monoculture, but it’s now the town’s only employer, with more than 100 people on hand.

I learned much of this from the back seat of Will Harris’ pickup truck, as he drove me and the two other women who make up my blog, The Seed & Plate, around to give us a full scope of what happens at White Oak Pastures.

“We’re fiercely proud of what we do,” he said while manning the wheel and pointing out pigs buried deep in puddles of mud, goats roaming the forest and cows freely grazing sloping pastures of fertile ground.

I’m confident we weren’t given this insight and access just because we promised

which are decorated with rustic charm and stocked with eggs from their free-range chickens, soap from the tallow of the grassfed cattle and all the White Oak Pastures logo-emblazoned accommodations for a very comfortable stay.

During a visit, you can see as much of the operation as you’d like, with very personal and in-depth tours led by the Harris family themselves. We saw everything from baby sheep galloping through the beautiful fields to the surprisingly sterile, calm and systematic slaughter of a cow. We ate lunch and dinner each day with the Harrises and their extended family of employees at the pavilion restaurant they opened to make sure their people were well fed.

“I think transparency is the best marketing tool,” said Benoit, while walking us (literally) through each aspect of production on the farm.

The people of White Oak Pastures go to great lengths to demonstrate their values in action. It’s something worth seeing if you’re interested in sustainable agriculture, an exceptional work culture, a dynamic family, the work of an agricultural visionary and especially humane animal husbandry.

“What I hope to show people is not a specific place or a specific procedure, but the interactions of all the systems here. It’s like a whole within a whole within a whole,” said Harris. “We think of this farm as an organism, and different people and animals have different functionalities towards making the organism work, the same way you’ve got a liver and a heart and kidneys, we’ve got ruminants and poultry and vegetables.” f

Marriage Equality Is a Major Milestone, but More Is Left to Be Done

Legal experts expected this ruling. “The outcome, the vote tally, the author of the majority opinion, the majority’s reasoning and the spirited dissents are all in keeping with what many predicted,” said UGA law professor Hillel Levin.

A Groundbreaking Decision Justice Anthony Kennedy was, as he so often is, the swing vote in the 5–4 ruling. He wrote the poetic opinion for the majority, including this widely quoted and shared passage: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once were. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from

eeDee Kane was living in Massachusetts in 2004 when that state’s highest court legalized same-sex marriage.

“I was sitting at my desk in Cambridge and remember starting to cry at my desk, even though I didn’t have the intention at that time of getting married,” Kane, now a University of Georgia professor, recalled. “It was a turning point and a signal of parity and equity that I think is important. It was very strange to me to move to Georgia and lose rights and privileges that I felt were mine.”

That was the same year Georgia voters, by a 52-point margin, approved an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage (or even civil unions, then seen as a compromise between the rights of marriage and the restrictions of religion). Now, Kane has those rights back, while thousands of other Georgians have gained them for the first time. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday, June 26 that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry.

The decision legalized same-sex marriage in Georgia and 15 other states where it was banned.

For a group of people who’ve been vilified and even labeled as crazy and as criminals, the ruling means that, for the first time, they are on equal legal footing. Yet discrimination still exists and could even get worse in response— issues society will be forced to grapple with in the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges.

she said. Scalia called the ruling a “threat to American democracy” and a “judicial Putsch,” and took some personal jabs at Kennedy’s writing style. Clarence Thomas, the only African American justice, argued that slaves kept their dignity, and so can same-sex couples if they’re not allowed to marry. Justice Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts both claimed marriage is about procreation (ironic, West noted, because Roberts and his wife adopted their children). And Alito expressed concern that opponents of same-sex marriage will be vilified.

Change in an Instant

Athens PRIDE and UGA GLOBES leader DeeDee Kane speaks at the Unitarian Universalist event celebrating the Obergefell ruling.

Kennedy’s opinion—in contrast to the Loving v. Virginia case that outlawed bans on interracial marriage—links equity to liberty, said another UGA law professor, Sonja West. “This might seem like semantics to non-lawyers, but I think it might end up being an important concept,” she said. West was also moved by Kennedy’s description of how same-sex parents nurture their children and the harm that can come to them when their parents are not allowed to marry.

Unlike Levin, West was surprised by the harshness of the dissents. Justice Antonin Scalia is “known for his intemperate tone, but this one seemed especially acerbic,”

Unlike in other Southern states, such as Texas, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, Georgia officials did not resist the ruling. “While I believe that this issue should be decided by the states and by legislatures, not the federal judiciary, I also believe in the rule of law,” Gov. Nathan Deal said. “The state of Georgia is subject to the laws of the United States, and we will follow them.”

Less than two hours after the decision was handed down at about 10 a.m., Clarke County Probate Court started issuing new, genderless marriage license application forms.

The first couple through the door were Moriah Martin and Jordyn Dolente. “I never thought this was going to happen,” Dolente said.

Others quickly followed, including Chrissy Pressley and Jodie Britt, who’ve been together five years and have three children, and Lisa Brown and Joy Correll, who’ve been together six years. Both had already participated in wedding ceremonies, though they weren’t recognized in Georgia. “It feels like we’re finally citizens,” Correll said. “We finally have the same rights as the citizens of the United States.”

That afternoon, Judge Susan Tate officiated a brief ceremony for Dolente and Martin in the courtyard outside the Clarke County Courthouse. “I’m pleased and honored” to perform the city’s first same-sex marriage, Tate said, adding that she has respect for other beliefs, but she was “touched to be a part of this.”

flagpole’s Favorite Albums of 2015 (So Far)

By Music Staff music@flagpole.com

A

in’t it crazy? We’re already at the halfway point of 2015. But rather than dwell on the crushing weight of time, we choose to celebrate its many musical fruits. The year’s first six months have given us an abundance of sweet, juicy local recordings. Below, we revisit some of the sounds that have kept us sated.

Hear music from these releases on the online version of this article at flagpole.com.

Deep State: Nice Deep State has made a name for itself with melodically savvy punk songwriting and a high-energy live show. The group’s debut full-length, Nice, takes the bite and blister of 2014’s Bein’ Mean EP and hardens it; the guitars are more pointed, and singer Taylor Chmura’s disdain for stasis is sharper than before. His distinct voice—that of the fed-up 20-something—is heard more loudly and clearly across a full album, where he and his talented bandmates have the time and space and confidence to profess their frustrations. [Andy Barton]

The Goons: No Art When a band’s got it together, it’s a glorious thing. For No Art, The Goons penned some of the catchiest pop tunes of the year so far, from the Television-ish “Bella” to the meaty mod-rocker “Morning Glory.” Most of these songs are capable of lodging themselves in a listener’s head for days. No Art has risen to the top mostly because it’s just good, clean fun. [LA] Grand Vapids: Guarantees A January release date threatens to bury even a great record under the

Dictator: Shoulda Had a Verse With Shoulda Had a Verse, Dictator officially claims the title of king of Classic City hip hop while (not so) gently suggesting that the rap capital to our west won’t be the only hotspot in the state for long.

As its title suggests, Dictator’s first mixtape of 2015 is an outright challenge to those who would doubt the eventuality of Athens hip hop. [Gabe Vodicka]

Futo: I Wish I Had Been Born as the Rain that Forms Rivers that Carve Out Canyons Patrick Brick’s lo-fi recordings provide an insightful look into the songwriter’s brain and bedroom. The songs on his latest release as Futo are no exception. On his second full-length, Brick grapples with more somber subject matter, oscillating between electronic and acoustic instrumentation. I Wish I Had Been Born… finds Brick’s chillwave influences intersecting more than ever with his more confessional singer-songwriter leanings. [AB]

Kenosha Kid: Inside Voices For his studio follow-up to 2009’s Fahrenheit, Kenosha Kid mastermind Dan Nettles employed a familiar cast of associates—including bassist Robby Handley and drummer Marlon Patton, along with trumpeter Jacob Wick and saxophonists Peter Van Huffel and Greg Sinibaldi—to create a stunning, seven-track outing.

Inside Voices exists in a hazy dream space somewhere between jazz, post-rock and psychedelic noir.

“Fabrication” is all Tortoise-esque cool; “Liberty Bell” is steeped in twangy Americana; the prog-funkflavored “Mushmouth” just wants to have fun. [GV] Mind Brains: Mind Brains Mind Brains is new; Mind Brains is old; Mind Brains is astonishing. The group’s debut is the kind of frenzied and kinetic psych-pop dream that only Elephant 6 could provide. With members of the Olivia Tremor Control, Music Tapes and of Montreal all contributing to this big, beautiful mess, the legacy of some of Athens’ most influential bands is present on every track. The grand experimentation of “Whistle Tips” shares the stage with the catchy pop of “Body Horror,” and somehow it all feels right.

[NK]

El Hollín: Una Tuesday Una Tuesday may skip along with sloppy strings and stuttery drums, but don’t write it off as twee. El Hollín speaks for the neglected misfits of Athens, the downtrodden who hide in their musty homes and find bliss in a cat’s fur. An off-kilter mix of accordion–laced ballads and frantic singalongs, Una Tuesday has a ramshackle charm that encourages everyone and anyone to follow in its wake. [Lee Adcock] Fake Flowers: Wonder Wave A little fuzz can go a long way. In 2014, Fake Flowers released Opaque Pop, a decent if unmemorable janglepop EP. Almost a year later, Wonder Wave flipped the script, pushing Fake Flowers into shoegaze and dream-pop territory. Though the basic pop song structure is the same, the extra layers of noise and vocal distortion add a unique sense of character. With this hard left turn into a new sound, Fake Flowers has realized the potential that the band’s first EP only hinted at. [Nathan Kerce]

Hunger Anthem: Cut the Chord You could stop and ask yourself if you need five more scuzzy, hummable, Hüsker Dü-ish songs in your iTunes library. Or you could just turn up your speakers, smile and hum away like it’s 1995. The battered anthem “Soul of Clay” lifts the weight off your shoulders; “It’s Relative” throws it off with a smirk and a snarl. Cut the Chord makes the cut because Hunger Anthem won’t let a good man (or woman) down. [LA]

next 11 months of music.

That hasn’t been the case for Grand Vapids’ debut, Guarantees. The 10-song collection of twangy, shoegazing alt-rock finds longtime collaborators Austin Harris and McKendrick Bearden taking fear and loss and transforming them into hazy, sprawling testaments of sound. With both straightforward standouts like “Adequate” and “Tuned,” as well as beautifully arranged pieces like “No Memory” and the album’s title track, Grand Vapids follows in the footsteps of Deerhunter and Dead Confederate as one of the Peach State’s most promising rock bands. [AB]

T. Hardy Morris & the Hardknocks: Drownin On a Mountaintop Rather than follow up 2013’s Audition Tapes with another collection of stark, subdued folk, Dead Confederate frontman T. Hardy Morris took a page from his other band and beefed up his confessional tunes with a layer of crunchy distortion. Drownin On a Mountaintop is a strange but sure-footed mash-up of grunge bombast (check out the beginning of “Likes of Me” for a rather unsubtle “Milk It” homage) and honky tonk swagger. Throughout, Morris fully embraces his ‘90s rock obsession, while Matt Stoessel’s pedal steel keeps things grounded in the barroom-Americana tradition. [GV] Vaperror: System Delight The central concept of System Delight is an artificial love story in which a computer spawns two separate programs that quickly become self-aware and begin to feel complicated emotions toward one another as they discover what it’s like to be alive. Even if you’re not taken by the record’s outthere story or sexually suggestive aesthetic, System Delight is still a delightful and easygoing collection of future-bass sounds from one of Athens’ brightest up-and-coming artists.

Dead Neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jangly Pop Feast Plus, More Music News and Gossip

GMBHQPMF

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com BROTHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KEEPER: The new self-titled album by Dead Neighbors came out toward the end of last month. The 12-track record is a jangly pop feast thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only marred by three tracks, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;a,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;bâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;c,â&#x20AC;? that are nothing more than barely audible studio gurgle scratch. Although the band bills itself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;shoegaze,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually much more reminiscent of 1980s Atlanta band Sheer Thursday; New Haven, CT history book entry Bleached Black; and in its softer moments, even 1990-era Athens band Doubts Even Here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college-rock as all get out, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a damn fine listen. Stream at deadneighbors.bandcamp.com, and keep up at facebook.com/ DeadNeighbors.

GET OUTTA TOWN: Tickets are on sale now for the upcoming Wildwood Revival. The event is centered around a downhome vibe, and quite literally held down home at Cloverleaf Farm (536 Wolfskin Road, Arnoldsville). This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival happens Aug. 29 and 30 and features a musical lineup including Cicada Rhythm, Tall Tall Trees, Darnell Boys, Lindi Ortega, Blackfoot Gypsies and more.

On-site camping, a farm-to-table sit-down dinner, a dance party Dead Neighbors hosted by Electric Western and many more amenities and features will be showcased. Visit wildwoodrevival.com for tickets and information.

HIT THAT PERFECT BEAT: Go Bar is hosting a superb night of creative and weird hip hop Friday, July 10. Featured performers are Donny Knottsville, North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SOHI, CEO SnapDaddyDogg and White Mike, Midnight Boi, Space Brother and Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digiganics. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not a whole lot more to say about this, other than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool to see multiartist hip hop bills starting to spread around the city a little more. Dig it.

LIFE OF LEISURE: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m generally an information fiend, and I have bouts of intense frustration when I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find out something relatively simple, like the last names of band members. That said, sometimes one just has to vaya con dios. Despite my non-familiarity with the catalog of

musician Michael Pierce or his project Wet Garden, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been absolutely drawn into his current work as Leisure Service. Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still not caught him live, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been listening to the hastily recorded six-track audio document Live at Little Kings Shuffle Club for the past week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great trip into a deep pool of modular synthesizer rhythms and melodies, boom bap beats, electronic drone, echotastic reverb and more. I usually write in complete silence, but this has been playing the entire time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been writing this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that, too. Dig it at freelancefiend.bandcamp.com, and explore Wet Garden at soundcloud.com/wet_garden.

HISTORY LESSON: The Foundry will host a rare show by Phil and the Blanks on Friday, July 31.

Initially formed in 1977, and preceding Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rise as the new music capital of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a designation that seems more quaint than anything nowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the group is solidly outside anything that was ever deemed new music.

Instead, the Blanks concentrated on select folky rock covers and originals that also owed much to swing jazz legends. Incredibly popular locally and regionally, the group was at one time the house band at the pre-restaurant version of The Last Resort and featured several notable Athens musicians, the most recognizable outside of Athens being engineer John Keane. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m mentioning this show weeks ahead of time because it will totally sell out, and even if you think this may not be your thing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d still encourage you to open your mind a bit and soak in some real, living Athens history. See thefoundryathens.com.

BITS-N-BOBS: July 16 is your last chance to catch Eureka California before they head across the pond. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the Georgia Theatre rooftop this night with New Wivesâ&#x20AC;Ś Kinda wanna give a hat tip to former Athenian and now Nashvillian Lera Lynn for her success on HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Detective.â&#x20AC;? Now known in the major press as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mysterious barroom singer,â&#x20AC;? Lynn spent several years here in Athens cutting her teeth, and I still sort of think of her as local. Glad to see her star rising as high as it is. f

record review Chief Scout: See EP (Columbia) Most of the boozy debut EP from garage-rockers Chief Scout treads the usual hard rock tropes: balls-to-the-wall riffs; trash-talking about women; bluesy, Southern-fried vocals; tight, strutting rhythms.

Admittedly, sometimes it sizzles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rollercoasterâ&#x20AC;? is as much dizzying fun as the name implies, with its lighthearted rock and roll chug and perky swagger. Likewise, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh Shitâ&#x20AC;? has a silly glam bounce thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchy in spite of the tuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misogynistic lyrics, which condemn an ex-girlfriend for exercising her freedom of will.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mamhilapinatapai,â&#x20AC;? a seven-minute prog number that aims for Procol Harum-ish heights. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OKâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not transcendent or mind-expanding. Chief Scout sounds more in its element with the harder hitters at the EPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail end: the Grand Funk Railroad-y â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Not Happyâ&#x20AC;? and the massive â&#x20AC;&#x153;Run Away From Home.â&#x20AC;?

Chief Scout is clearly capable of turning heads with its meaty hooks. It needs to add fresh ideas and open minds to avoid becoming just a classic rock tribute band. [Lee Adcock]

the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art in funding visual art exhibitions and educational workshops, as well Canopy Studio in providing scholarships and public aerial arts classes. The Young Designers Sewing Program will use its award to purchase materials for young women to design one-of-a-kind garments.

The Merit Awards for Excellence in Public Arts are a new effort to increase the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visibility, and it is hoped that they will motivate other arts-related nonprofits to emphasize their community outreach activities. The ACAC intends to make the awards an annual program, with the number and amount of awards dependent on the funding available at the end of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal year.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remake Time!

Sequels Try Hard but Run Out of Juice

By Drew Wheeler MAGIC MIKE XXL (R) Magic Mike XXL somewhat makes up for its narrative shortcomings with its male-entertaining exuberance.

Magic Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) reunites with the Kings of Tampaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello, who nearly earns his own spinoff), Ken (Matt Bomer), Tito (Adam Rodriguez), Tarzan (professional wrestler Kevin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Sexyâ&#x20AC;? Nash) and Tobias (Gabriel Iglesias)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;for one last ride.

Unfortunately for the Kings and for audiences, Matthew McConaugheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dallas has taken off for Europe. McConaugheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charm might be missed as much as Magic Mike director Steven Soderberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision.

Five minutes shy of two hours, Magic Mike XXL has several energetic sequences, all involving dancing. Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impromptu convenience store routine and the final blowout at the Male Stripper Convention are the two highlights. Too bad the movie grinds to a halt whenever the Kings stop to talk about their personal lives.

Poor Mike did not quite hit it big after leaving the Kings to create custom-built

down Skynet, as the machine still rose in Terminator 3, although Salvation, the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worst entry (that includes the current edition), was far from a rescuer.

Terminator Genisys acts like a remakecum-reinvention. The first film is retold with a warrior Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke, Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen of HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thronesâ&#x20AC;?) not needing the protection of a lesser Kyle Reese, thanks to Jai Courtney, whom audiences have given up on, whether or not Hollywood has noticed.

Sarah can take care of herself, because she has had her own pet T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), nicknamed Pops, since she was a little girl.

The series now has to deal with alternate universes. Judgment Day is no longer in 1997; now it will not be here until 2017, for reasons not made particularly clear. Perhaps the change was needed because Judgment Day was averted in T2, though T3 kind of answered that question. Would audiences have had a hard time believing in a fictional judgment day that had already passed?

The idea of reinventing the franchise Terminator Genisys as opposed to simply remaking it is laudable.

Some of the renovations work. Anything that requires more Ah-nuld benefits the series. In Genisys, we get three Arnolds: Arnold the Younger, Arnold the Older and Arnold the Oldest. His T-800 still charms, even if his humanity is completely cribbed from Terminator 2; he Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so coldâ&#x20AC;Ś and lonely. grimacingly grins and only shoots people in the legs. However, furniture. At least he gets to replace the Arnold does those things very well. absent Brooke with a pretty close facsimile The tiny Clarke is a disarmingly tough in Amber Heard. The movie does add some replacement for Linda Hamilton, though fun new strippers at a private Savannah TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) could still dance club. Still, imagine Flashdance had take Clarke. Reese is wasted, thanks to the generated a sequel where a depressed Alex unappealing Courtney, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already taken flunks out of dance school finally to take part in the fifth and worst entry in another that job at Zanzibar. Just add abs, and you longstanding franchise born of the 1980s. have Magic Mike XXL. Cameron understood better than his TERMINATOR GENISYS (PG-13) The Terminator replacements that grownup John Connor timeline has always been convoluted. In the (here played by Jason Clarke of Zero Dark Thirty) is more a symbol than a compelling now-classic 1984 sci-fi action flick, James character. If Christian Bale cannot make Cameron started the whole series with a this gruff hero relatable, who can? huge chicken-or-egg conundrum. How can Even the newest Model Tâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the T-3000, Skynet ever be created if the technology to now with nanobots!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is nowhere near as create it was sent from the future? On top fun as the T-1000, an innovation that has of that, humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s savior, John Connor, become a crutch for the post T2 sequels. sends his own dad, Kyle Reese, back in time Unfortunately, a franchise once critito father him. What?

The action that minefield like their titular killing machines. is not reheated from Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superior I am curious as to where Cameron would films tastes just like the bullet-riddled have advanced this world, but his now dishes offered by any old action movie. three-film absence from it may be his Terminators surely are hard to kill, but answer; T2 closed the loop. theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out of juice for 20-plus years.

The queer community doesn’t really have a use for those (bi- and pansexuals notwithstanding), so we gotta talk barriers if we’re gonna include everyone in the conversation.

Cathryn mentioned PrEP, also known as pre-exposure prophylaxis. It’s a pill taken daily that prevents any HIV exposure from taking hold in a host’s (that’s your) body.

Risk of infection while taking PrEP is 92 percent lower than for those who don’t.

Awesome! Your doc can get it for you, and if you miss your dose before a particularly slutty eve, just bring some condoms with you.

If you have a skin condition, rash or sore that looks like an STD, don’t be embarrassed; just tell your partner before the clothes come off.

If you actually do have an STI or STD, that sucks, but it’s OK. Don’t be ashamed, and please take care of yourself.

Every year there are 19.7 million new infections in our country, and while most are harmless, some have the potential to cause serious health problems if not diagnosed and addressed early.

Hi Bonita, Glad to see you on board and glad to see a casual approach to casual hook-ups! Really appreciate your realness about it. Perhaps we can also include some serious talk about STI prevention? I work for AIDS Athens, and we do free HIV testing here. The Health Department also does the whole shebang for STIs and family planning, as well. If you also feel like chatting about PrEP and other ways to reduce HIV transmission while still having an awesome sex life, AIDS Athens is here to help.

Thanks!
