Hice, Health Care and Highways

29 Beers on Tap Live Music Thursday-Sunday

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com In January, congressmen Jody Hice and Barry Loudermilk got off to a stumbling start in office when they voted to elect John Boehner to another term as House speaker. That did not go over well with their tea party enthusiasts. Hice and Loudermilk were slammed all across the Internet by angry constituents. Shortly after those disastrous votes, Hice and Loudermilk joined a new group of ultra-conservative House members who called themselves the “Freedom Caucus.” The Freedom Caucus, which consists of about 40 people, has agitated so successfully against the House leadership that it compelled Boehner to resign and forced Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy to withdraw from the race to elect a new speaker. In the space of just nine months, Hice and Loudermilk have progressed from being pariahs to being power brokers. I’ve written several times about Gov. Nathan Deal’s refusal to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage for low-income Georgians. The governor does not want residents to get health insurance if it involves the state receiving money under the Affordable Care Act. In terms of keeping people uninsured, Deal’s been very successful. A recent report from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that Georgia still has more than 1.5 million non-elderly residents without health insurance. Only California, Texas and Florida have higher numbers of uninsured citizens. Georgia also has the third-highest number of residents—about 305,000—who are uninsured because they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to qualify for federal subsidies under Obamacare. This is known as the “coverage gap,” and the only states with

50¢ wing night

more people trapped in that health insurance gap are Texas and Florida. Last year, as Deal was running against Jason Carter for a second term in office, he found himself in the awkward position of being governor of a state that had the highest unemployment rate in the nation. That ranking undercut Deal’s campaign statements that he had a great record of creating jobs and making Georgia a friendly place to do business. In the end, the issue did not prevent Deal from winning another term in office, since he defeated Carter. The state eventually climbed out of last place in the rankings. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data has Georgia in 38th place with a jobless rate of 5.9 percent. During the legislative session, the issue that attracted most of the media coverage was the attempt to raise the state’s gasoline excise tax by about 6 cents per gallon. The bill that eventually passed also imposed a new tax on electric vehicles and a $5 daily surcharge on hotel stays. Georgia’s tax collections increased by 6.1 percent in July, the first month that the tax hikes took effect, went up by 13.6 percent in August and improved by 8.7 percent in September. Partly because of the new taxes, the state has collected $438 million more tax dollars during the first quarter of this fiscal year than it did in the same quarter last year. Fortunately for legislators, the higher gasoline tax took effect during the same period that the retail price of gasoline steadily declined. This means that motorists saw only that the overall price of fuel at the pump was going down, nullifying any backlash that might have accompanied the tax hike. With all that new money pouring into the state coffers, you should see more concrete poured for highway construction. f

Welcome to the Hotel Classic Center Plus, Lawmakers’ To-Do List and More Local News By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com As the ever-expanding Classic Center continues to eat up the eastern edge of downtown like that ectoplasmic blob in Ghostbusters II, a connected Hyatt Place hotel that’s been in the works for the better part of a decade might finally be about to cover up that butt-ugly blank wall facing Hancock Avenue. Developers had signed a memorandum of understanding with county economic development officials in 2008 for $4.4 million in tax breaks, but a reduced proposal for $2.8 million in tax breaks was voted down in 2014 after competing hotels and other community members opposed it. The loss of tax breaks caused financing for the hotel to fall through, said Athens resident Robert Small, the front man for the hotel’s development group. Now, he plans to build the Hyatt regardless. “Today I can tell you we are going to build a hotel,� Small told the Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission at a work session last week. “What we’d like to ask for is your assistance to step up the quality of it, make it something the community can be proud of.� Classic Center Executive Director Paul Cramer has long sought an attached hotel. More than a decade ago, he asked ACC to let him build a government-run hotel between the convention center and the News Building next door. Realizing the top of a parking deck wasn’t really an ideal location, ACC officials refused, and in the end, a local hotel group built the Hilton Garden Inn across the street. As part of the Classic Center expansion, Small and Cramer engineered a land swap in 2011 that gave the hotel more frontage on Thomas Street, while allowing the Classic Center to hide its loading dock behind the hotel. But, even so, the Hyatt project has languished.

Since the expansion, room-nights from local conventions nearly doubled to 59,000 last year, and now larger conventions are leaving or threatening to leave unless another hotel is built that’s adjacent or connected to the Classic Center, Cramer said. In addition, if the Hyatt is built, he said his staff can go after new corporate conventions that specifically look for attached or adjacent “headquarter� hotels, potentially drawing 6,000 more room-nights and creating $1.6 million in annual revenue for local businesses. Last week, Small formally asked commissioners to create a tax allocation district on the hotel property (which now includes Square One Fish Co., allowing for more frontage on Thomas Street). Under a TAD, new property taxes collected as a result of the development—up to $1.8 million over four years—would have been plowed back into infrastructure for the project. That would have included more parking, a streamlined design and connection to the Classic Center, a wider sidewalk and improved public space along Thomas, more parking and reconfigured traffic signals. “We really feel like this will enhance the design greatly compared to where we were in 2012,� when plans for the hotel were initially approved, Small said. But is that enough to fork over $1.8 million? Commissioners were set to decide Dec. 1, after a Nov. 3 public hearing. But just before Flagpole’s deadline, reports came in from several sources that the developers had withdrawn their TAD request. Apparently the timeline for creating a TAD conflicted with their timeline for construction, so the project will move forward without one. They may have been concerned about the legality of a TAD, as well. They’re intended to spur redevelopment in blighted areas.

A Hyatt Place hotel is supposed to hide this blank wall at the Classic Center, but feel free to Photoshop in whatever you want.

“Blighted� isn’t really the word that comes to mind when I think of the Classic Center. A TAD is still worth talking about, but let’s talk about it in terms of drawing the type of development we want to the topographically challenged area east of the Classic Center—where it’s really needed.

familiar—because year after year, legislators won’t do them. “In my time here, the delegation hasn’t adopted a single one of our recommendations,� Commissioner Jared Bailey said at a work session. “I think that’s sad, but we can’t stop trying.�

Facade Facelift: The owner and tenants of the Clayton Street building that houses Wuxtry Records and Native America Gallery have received a $10,000 facade grant from the Athens Downtown Development Authority to paint the building and replace windows.

You Won’t Believe This, But: A UGA student who was accused of rape has actually been charged with rape. Imagine that. Bamidele Olasehinde Oluwadare is charged with forcibly raping a student at East Campus Village on Sept. 20. He’s out on $25,000 bond but has been barred from Clarke County while the case is pending, except to go to court, according to the Athens Banner-Herald. When Flagpole last pulled the numbers in April, 112 sexual assaults had been reported to campus police since the start of 2014. None of those reports resulted in an arrest, and only three students were disciplined by the university.

To-Do List: Commissioners are in the midst of setting legislative priorities for the General Assembly session, but they don’t think the local delegation is listening. Among the issues at least some commissioners want the legislature to take up next January include revisiting redistricting, allowing police to use radar to enforce speed limits on residential streets, repealing a requirement that taxis have meters, moving local elections back to November, requiring tags for scooters, re-instituting the 25-foot buffer around wetlands, accepting federal funding for Medicaid, increasing transportation funding and giving local government tools to encourage affordable housing. Many of these may sound

Climate Change: The somewhat unwieldily named Athens Uniting for Moral Climate Mobilization—which held a packed initial meeting last month and a rally at City Hall last week—is hosting a “Solarize ACC� town hall meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27 at Covenant Presbyterian Church.

Some Half-Athed Advice Giving It Your All at the AthHalf Half-Marathon

AthFest Educates

By Rashaun Ellis news@flagpole.com

I

like to work out. I exercise primarily to manage my moods, which means that I enjoy plenty of rest days and rarely set goals to meet. But all of my super-ripped friends are abuzz about AthHalf—the sixth annual halfmarathon and fundraiser for AthFest Educates—being days away. Scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 25, the race starts downtown and finishes up at the Tate Center on the UGA campus. This half-marathon is much more than just a foot race. First off, it’s a huge fundraising event for AthFest Educates, which also hosts our annual local music festival of the same name. Funds raised “can be awarded to any local public school educators and/or youth development specialist working to advance music and arts education in public school settings, 501(c)(3) community programs or ACC government programs,” says Jill Helme, executive director of AthFest Educates. The fundraising is great, but what else motivates a person to push her body like that? Ashley Poole is an Athenian and sports enthusiast who regularly runs marathons and participates in Iron Man competitions and triathlons. Starting the day with a five-mile swim and following it up with 10 miles each of running and biking is nothing for her, and this year she’s using the AthHalf to help her train for a full marathon in November. This will be Poole’s third AthHalf. “Finishing a long-distance [run] does make me proud and feel like I accomplished a goal that I had to work towards,” Poole says. “I think if any of that dedication can spill over into my day-to-day life, then it can only help.” Elementary school teacher Hope Zimmerman has different reasons for running the AthHalf this year, which will also be her third time participating. “It’s a very Athens-y event, which I love,” she says. “I always know others who are running and training. I see my students, neighbors and friends cheering along the way. I run past my house and through so many neighborhoods in Athens. It’s a pretty run, full of nice people.” Poole agrees. “The atmosphere is really lively out there,” she says. “This is one of my favorite races to run.” Poole and Zimmerman are in the running for prize money and accolades, which include cash prizes for top finishers and awards for the top three in each age group. Everyone who finishes the race will get a medal. You can still sign up to volunteer through athhalf.com, and those who want to come out and support the runners should refer to the route map to find their preferred live music location. Those who want to register to participate can do so up to the day before, and Poole and Zimmerman both recommend it. Poole expressed pride at running to aid a local charity, and Zimmerman just seems to love the AthHalf because

she loves Athens. “The AthHalf is a real community event,” Zimmerman says. “I wasn’t thinking of signing up [this year], but the thought of me not being part of it made me sad, like I was going to miss out on something.” I’ve gotta be honest: The course does seem pretty dope. There will be live music spread along its entirety (see p. 9 for more on the bands), as well as plenty of hydration stations and portable toilets for the runners’ conveniences. I’ll admit that as someone who just runs 5K or less, I’d always assumed that distance runners did not stop to go potty during their courses, which of course is ridiculous when you consider how long it takes to run 13.1 miles. Then there’s the pop culture stereotype of marathon

runners losing control of their bowels mid-run. As both a runner and a reporter, I couldn’t resist—I had to ask. With 2,300-and-counting runners registered as of Flagpole’s deadline, it must have happened at least once. Right? “By the time the 2015 AthHalf is complete, we’ll have had nearly 15,000 AthHalf participants in total,” Helme says. “Given those numbers, I’m sure just about every bodily function has been a part of the AthHalf.” Poole offers some practical advice for avoiding an accident: “I have found that if I am doing a long race, I will get up around 4 a.m. and eat my breakfast, then go back to sleep,” she says. “This gives mother nature time to do her thing before I head to the starting line.” f

What Music Makes AthHalf’s Musicians Want to Run?

O

ne of the coolest aspects of the AthHalf halfmarathon is its live-music element—at six different points during the race, as well as the starting and finish lines, runners will be greeted by the sweet sounds of local bands and DJs, many of whom can be seen on this week’s Flagpole cover. It’s as good a motivator as we can think of for finishing that 13-mile slog. But what music motivates the motivators? Here are this year’s AthHalf musicians’ favorite pump-up jams.

Janet Jackson, “Escapade”: If you were to bet the over/ under on how many times I’ve asked Siri to play this song, you’d want to take the over, regardless of where the line is set. And look, I don’t care who you are or how your beer is brewed; the melody in this song is PERFECT pop music for that moment when you’re just not feeling it anymore and you’re ready to pack it in and hit the showers early. Instead,

Outkast

DJ Mahogany

For our bass player, Greg Veale, “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” is what gets him going. “I’m a Little Teapot” is what does it for our drummer, Deane Quinter. They are songs about never giving up and being proud. For me, Rev. Tribble, “Jumping Jack Flash” by The Rolling Stones never fails to make me jump up and take on the world, from Keith’s first chords. Then, Mick growls that he was “born in a cross-fire hurricane… but it’s alright now.” Killer.

Zenith Blue

Giorgio Moroder, From Here to Eternity: It’s a nonstop high-energy masterpiece that makes your heart race in more ways than one. Donna Summer, Four Seasons of Love: I like to work out to this record, because it brings you up, and by the time you reach the fourth season/song, “Winter Melody,” you are ready to cool down. It’s perfect. Madonna, Madonna: Madonna’s debut album is the right pulse for keeping me energized and focused. It’s still a fun album to listen to!

Iron Maiden, “The Trooper”: This song features harsh guitar and pounding drums that would motivate anyone to do just about anything. Red Hot Chili Peppers, “Can’t Stop”: With its crisp and dynamic high and low ends, “Can’t Stop” will most definitely get you hyped. Pink Floyd, “Run Like Hell”: The last song we picked for getting pumped for running is “Run Like Hell,” simply because of the name.

Timi Conley & Friends

Jason Harwell of Whacka Pets The Offspring, “Meaning of Life”: I can hear Flagpole readers groaning, and look, I get it. The Offspring were not the best punk rock band in the world, and who even knows what kind of band they were at the end. (I’m assuming they’re not around anymore—is that right?) But before that, they made an album called Ixnay on the Hombre that was overall just so-so but had one amazing song, and that song is like a lit match to the dynamite that would be my biceps if I were an actual athlete. When I hear this song, I imagine that I could make balloon animals out of barbells if I chose to do so—even the really difficult balloon animals. While I passed through my “Offspring phase” not long after that album came out, “Meaning of Life” still finds its way onto all my motivational playlists. Outkast, “B.O.B.”: “Like a million elephants and silverback orangutans/ You can’t stop a train” describes with surgical precision the way I feel when I steamroll my children in “Mario Kart 64.”

Reverend Conner Tribble & the Deacons

James Brown, “Sex Machine” Iggy Pop, “Lust for Life” Parliament, “P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)” I ain’t ever gonna be running this. I suck as an endurance runner. I’ll sprint to the buffet table, but that’s about it.

The Welfare Liners Ms. Jackson shows up to remind you that while life may seem to be nothing more than the empty, meaningless abyss you’re currently experiencing, it’s actually a worthwhile adventure. It’s an escapade. And that’s something I need to remember at about mile marker 1, when I’m already sucking wind and thinking that quitting is an adventure of its own. NewSong, “Christmas Shoes”: If I were really interested in achieving some sort of personal best in a half-marathon, I would make a four-hour playlist of just this one song, because if the only way to make it stop would be to cross the finish line, I think I could do it really, really quickly.

Fugazi, “Margin Walker”: Every time I hear that intro, I feel like I am an energetic 20-year-old again for, like, 10 seconds—then reality sets in, and I reach for a bottle of Advil and go looking for my armchair. [Russ Hallauer] Funkadelic, “Get Off Your Ass and Jam”: I’d like to say it’s the steady, driving drum beat at just the perfect pace, the funky, skank-ridden bass line to get you through the grooves, the constant, blazing guitar solo or the car horn. But really, it’s the in-your-face chorus of George Clinton and company simply demanding you to move. Plus, at some point, you just want to cuss. [Rob Keller] Jim & Jesse, “Ole Slew Foot”: I don’t always run, but when I do, it’s from bears. [Wayne Wilson] f

Road Trips, Brass Bands and Samurai On Display at the Georgia Museum’s 90 Carlton: Autumn By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com The Georgia Museum of Art has yet another wave of diverse exhibitions opening this season, ranging from road-trip snapshots to brass-band memorabilia to historical samurai artifacts. The first opportunity to see all three in the same visit is 90 Carlton: Autumn, the museum’s quarterly reception slated for Friday, Oct. 23 from 6–9 p.m. Free for Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art members or $5 otherwise, the evening includes gallery activities, door prizes, refreshments from Epting Events and remarks from the Consul General of Japan in Atlanta, Kazuo Sunaga. Raymond Smith: In the summer of 1974, Raymond Smith packed up his Volkswagen Beetle with his Rolleiflex and Minolta cameras in tow, and set out for a three-month, cross-country road trip to capture the American experience through his lens. Charting a route from New Haven, CT, through the South and across the Midwest to California, his journey was ultimately cut short when his VW died in Kansas City, but not before collecting 750 exposures. Organized by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, “In Time We Shall Know Ourselves: Photography by Raymond Smith” includes 52 black-and-white images depicting some of the most striking people and places the artist encountered as he traveled far and wide. Concentrated mainly in the South, the exhibition presents intimate shots of seemingly ordinary individuals in the middle of their everyday lives. Candidly straightforward yet elegant in their composition, the photographs raise considerations about community, personal identity, race and poverty. Smith’s documentary photography falls within a tradition of magnifying the power of the vernacular landscape, establishing a sense of place through each image’s setting. His approach to finding and framing human subjects is stylistically similar to those of two of his most significant influences: Walker Evans, who was his photography teacher at Yale University, and Robert Frank, whose photography book The Americans paints a portrait of post-war society. On Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m., in-house curator Annelies Mondi will lead a Tour at Two of the exhibition. On Thursday, Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m., Smith will reflect on a print through his lecture “Report from Infinity: Rural Highway, Southern Georgia, After Rainstorm.” Curator of Education Carissa DiCindio will lead an Artful Conversation on Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 2 p.m.

“Samurai: The Way of the Warrior”

Before the March King: Pulling from the collection of George Foreman, director of UGA’s Performing Arts Center, “Before the March King: 19th-Century American Bands” traces the evolution of early American concert bands through illustrated sheet music, photographs, portraits of decorated bandmasters, vintage instruments and other

memorabilia. Though John Philip Sousa, whose nickname “the March King” inspired the exhibition’s title, is one of the most recognizable names to stand the test of time, he had many predecessors—most notably, Patrick S. Gilmore—and followers who were just as essential to the history of American band music. Following the Civil War, these bands provided one of the most popular forms of entertainment, made evident by the 100,000-capacity venue erected for the World Peace Jubilee and International Musical Festival of 1872. Essentially every major town had its own amateur band, creating healthy industries to support instrument and uniform production along the way. From the portrait of the poised musicians of the Ladies Ideal Band of Mauston, WI, to the young, mischievous looking players in The Evening Press Newsboy Band of Grand Rapids, MI, the exhibition reflects how music permeated the lives of people from very diverse backgrounds. Associated events include concerts by students from the Hugh Hodgson School of Music on Wednesday, Oct. 21; Make it an Evening, featuring a gallery tour led by Foreman on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m.; Family Day, on Saturday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m.; and an additional tour led by Foreman on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. Way of the Warrior: For roughly seven centuries, samurai served to protect the families of wealthy landowners and were highly involved in the Japanese government as military nobility guided by “Bushido,” a traditional code of honor, discipline and morality. Organized by Contemporanea Progetti in collaboration with the Stibbert Museum in Florence, Italy, “Samurai: The Way of the Warrior” features around 100 objects illustrating the lives of these legendary warriors. Several full suits of armor are incredibly complex, incorporating materials like deerskin, lacquered leather, horse hair, silk, water buffalo horns, ivory and an array of metals not limited to steel, copper and silver. In a dimly lit room, a collection of helmets resembling Shinto spirits and demons are adorned with intimidating horns. The exhibition includes about 20 swords and just as many sword guards, which are considered important anthropological tools for the way they immortalize heroic figures and mythological events into their ornamentation. Another focal point is a tremendous, 60-foot horizontal scroll depicting a procession that spans an entire wall. An Akira Kurosawa film series will screen Seven Samurai on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m., The Hidden Fortress on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., Kagemusha on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. and Yojimbo on Thursday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. Additional events include lectures on Nov. 12 and Dec. 3, tours on Oct. 29 and Nov. 18, a demonstration by Kendo at UGA on Nov. 12, Family Day on Nov. 14 and a Teen Studio on Dec. 3. f

Classic City Fringe Festival Pulling Non-Traditional Performance Art into the Limelight By Madeline Bates arts@flagpole.com

A

new festival is hitting the streets of Athens over the weekend of Oct. 22–25. The first annual Classic City Fringe Festival will include a series of live performances spread across several downtown venues. The CCFF will feature a melting pot of alternative artists from Athens, Atlanta and the Carolinas whose work does not fit the typical fine-art bill. Fringe festivals are an international tradition dating back to the mid-19th Century. Traditionally on the edge of the art world, fringe art is all that does not fit into standard exhibition or performance spaces—from improv street performances to house shows to small production theater. “Fringes, in general, aim to allow art to thrive. We don’t tell people what to perform or what to think about a performance. It’s just a chance to say, ‘Here, look at this.’ Of course, for the performers, it’s a chance to be free with their artistic ideas,” says volunteer coordinator Megan Dunn. Directing the event is local artist Mux Blank, director of both the Moonlight Gypsy Market and the newly opened JOKER JOKER Gallery, and the man behind the “TV Head Guy” persona. The festival aims to encourage people, through entertainment and just the right level of shock factor, to embrace alternative forms of creative expression. Blank notes that the goal is ultimately for “more people [to] seek out this sort of entertainment from our community, because there is so much of it happening all the time, with only a limited audience seeing it.” The Classic City Fringe Festival is in the process of becoming a nonprofit. Directors say their goals include hosting events year-round, funding community projects and offering small grants for artists to develop their work. To enter this weekend’s performances, visitors must purchase tickets via Fringe Bucks box offices, located at various CCFF venues throughout the festival or available online for pre-purchase. One Fringe Buck equates to a $5 ticket. Because seating will be very limited at certain venues, reserved seating will call tickets can be purchased in advance at classiccityfringefestival.com.

PERFORMANCE: There will be a variety of experimental music, theater, storytelling and comic performances. Although there is no official theme, viewers will get a general sense of honesty, transparency and considerations of perception. “The idea of a ‘fringe’ performer is… something that doesn’t get much attention… especially in the festival format,” says Blank. “I hope that through this festival we can make people aware of these other forms of performance art beside music, and show them that as an art form there is so much that can be done with it.” MUSIC: The festival’s musical acts are largely electronic and noise-based. While some will function in a traditional format, others will include visual and interactive components. On Sunday, the festival’s Family Day, local musicians Kai Riedl and Roger Stahl will come together as Electrophoria for “Jazz, Baby,” an interactive experience for children. There will be a table staged with instruments and microphones and open for kids to come up to play with creative sounds, which will then be mixed into an ambient track. Despite the title, no jazz music will actually be played. “The ‘jazz’ in ‘Jazz, Baby’ is a broad term meant to signify free play and improvisation,” Stahl says. “I believe the official category is ‘toddlercore.’ We promise it will be pleasant and un-screechy, if at times strange.” THEATER: Storytelling takes many experimental forms at the CCFF, including “Prison Monologues, Pt. I,” a smallcast play created by UGA alum Daniel Guyton, and “Can’t Tell You Why,” a group performance by Atlanta’s Bad Ass Storytelling Quartet. One of the more abstract performances of the festival will be the Theatre of Pure Form, a clowning performance that is “a playful exercise in being playful,” according to Cal Clements, creator and director. Clements is the owner and manager of Rubber Soul Yoga Studio, where the performance will be held. The Theatre of Pure Form aims to

encourage the audience to be present in the moment and to release judgment and inhibitions through humor. Clements remarks, “They say that the theater doesn’t lie… meaning that what is really going on inside comes out. I want to create the conditions for such a revelation to take place… in a simple, honest and pure way.” COMEDY: The mainstay of the festival’s comic component will be the Comic Strip Comedy Club. Five different comedians will perform on each of the festival’s three days, as well as a wrap-up performance Monday evening at The Office Lounge. Director Alia Ghosheh says the performances “will change people’s perspective on comedy as an art form… Like any art form, it takes lots of practice.” f

Damaged Goods Andy Gill and the One-Man Legacy of Gang of Four By Bobby Power music@flagpole.com

As

the sole remaining founding member of Gang of Four, Andy Gill knows where he stands in the public eye. “Some people would probably say I like telling people what to do, but I don’t think it’s quite as simple as that,” says the Manchester-born guitarist and producer from his home studio in London. Though Gill is 59, with nearly four decades as a working musician under his belt, he continues to find inspiration in working with others, collaborating either side-by-side or on opposite ends of the mixing board. What Happens Next, Gang of Four’s eighth studio album, features an entirely new crew of supporting musicians and numerous guest appearances. The record’s concept seems to fly in the face of Gill’s reputation as a cantankerous collaborator. Founded in Leeds in 1977, Gang of Four saw Gill—along with Jon King on vocals, Dave Allen on bass and Hugo Burnham on drums—spearhead a now-timeless hybrid of post-punk, funk-rock and near-disco that would pave the way for decades of rhythmically minded punk, noise and rock bands: Mission of Burma, Rites of Spring, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bloc Party and Sleater-Kinney all owe a debt to the group.

What Happens Next, released in February on Metropolis Records, finds Gill calling on Alison Mosshart (The Kills, The Dead Weather), German musician Herbert Grönemeyer, Robbie Furze (The Big Pink) and Japanese guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei to flesh out 10 new songs. Perhaps to maintain a well-oiled machine, out of respect for his guests’ busy schedules or to manifest the album as quickly as possible, Gill doled out prewritten parts to each vocalist or musician, leaving pure collaboration by the wayside. “I wanted to make sure I had as much prepared and ready and written, so it wasn’t, ‘Let’s sit and think about what the tune should be,’” says Gill. Gill says his directorial instinct is about more than him simply wanting to get his way. “There are a few architects in my family—my grandfather, my uncle, my brother—and there’s a kind of a design gene going on there somewhere. “I remember putting on plays as a kid and being the director, and telling the other kids, ‘You should do it like this or do it like that,’” he continues. “There’s a picture in

my head where I see the way it should go, even with Gang of Four. So, when the band started, I was like, ‘No, the drums need to go like this. Change that beat—the hi-hat needs to be on the two, not the three.’” Those instincts also led to a successful life behind the board. As a producer, Gill has manned the knobs for a variety of acts, including The Jesus Lizard, The Stranglers, The Mekons, Delta 5, Killing Joke and Michael Hutchence. Yet his brand of leadership led to rocky relationships between the members of Gang of Four, and ultimately to the group’s two breakups in 1983 and 1997. Gill says the arguments resulted from other members challenging his vision. “They’d say, ‘Well, why should I do it the way you tell me to do it?’” To which Gill would counter, “Because it’s a good idea, and I had the idea.” Gill, King, Allen and Burnham would eventually reassemble as Gang of Four in 2004, conducting a full-scale tour that

found the band playing the 40 Watt in October 2005. With a new supporting cast, Gill returns to the venue Monday in support of What Happens Next. While Thomas McNeice has manned the bass since joining Gang of Four in 2008, drummer Jonny Finnegan and vocalist John “Gaoler” Sterry have been full-time members for only a few years. So far, everything appears to be running smoothly. Sterry, who joined the ranks in 2012, spent a number of months as Gill’s session singer, literally being paid by the hour to translate Gill’s so-called “character vocals” into something more conventional or musical. Eventually, the quartet played a series of secret shows at intimate London clubs before taking off the training wheels for a proper tour of China and Japan. Even as Gang of Four’s legacy becomes more complicated with each iteration of its lineup, Gill’s status as one of post-punk’s elder statesmen endures. Still, that doesn’t mean he’s a household name. Of his 2005 trip to Athens, Gill remembers, “I popped into a nearby bar just before soundcheck to have a swift beer. There was nobody at all in the bar… [The bartender] said, ‘Can I see your ID?’ And I said, ‘I’m British, I don’t carry ID. Do you think I’m not old enough?’ And she said, ‘That’s not the point—you’ve got to show ID.’” f

T

he Nashville-based avant-garage artist Daniel Pujol has a new EP coming out next month titled Kisses, but on a day off from his tour with fellow Southern punks Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires, the guitarist and vocalist would rather talk about the recent Republican presidential primary debates. “What I think that primary debate showed was that there is more of a media literacy than an actual literacy,� he says. “From the most anarcho-punk on the planet to some billionaire with a combover, what both sides are communicating to me is that, as a culture, we understand subtlety, we understand context, we can communicate logic and implication and value through what color tie a guy is wearing.� At the risk of speaking for him, Pujol’s point is this: While some may be quick to dismiss the rhetorical simplicity used by politicians, those methods of commu-

Thundering drums and searing guitars keep the group’s sound grounded in the rock canon, but there’s almost always a lofty meditation on culture combined with those cleverly written choruses. Pujol is known for packaging insight into his sing-alongs, and Kisses is certainly no exception. Yet Kisses also features instances of Pujol’s poetry accompanied by tape-speed tweaking, a disorienting tactic that may require a set of headphones and a great deal of time to properly digest. The choice to include a spoken-word element shouldn’t be surprising to anyone who follows Pujol’s output closely; he regularly recites poetry in live settings, and he recently published with Third Man Books, an offshoot of Jack White’s Third Man Records imprint. Should poetry mocked up with swirling, stuttering guitars throw listeners off guard, so be it. The cross-pollination of forms is

nication are rich in meaning and utility. Critiquing and deconstructing the charade of dumbed-down partisan politics is a useless enterprise. How can we harness those communicative techniques for non-manipulative purposes? “At what point do we start affirming?â€? Pujol asks. “I think [cynicism is] a fashionable perspective that launders the inherent disappointment of living in a dysfunctional culture‌ that finds that perspective fashionable. It’s circular.â€? If this take on contemporary culture sounds slightly headier than what’s coming from your average punk band, that’s because Pujol won’t stand for patronizing his audience. “I don’t think people are stupid. I think they’re as smart as they are allowed to be,â€? he says. Rather than ascribing to a consumptive model where a passive audience “buys in,â€? Pujol prefers meeting the audience on its own terms, to engage in a meaningful transaction. Recorded by Pujol in his basement and mixed by Athens engineer Drew Vandenberg at Chase Park Transduction, Kisses is both consistent with and a departure from Pujol’s previous offering, Kludge, released last year via Saddle Creek.

part and parcel of Pujol’s overall project, the idea that one’s politics and ethics are exposed by one’s art. “You ascribe to a certain set of cultural or institutional values by the way you tell a story,� says Pujol. Kisses isn’t just a meta-discourse on art and rock music. If there is one, the record’s thesis may be that cynicism and irony must be replaced by the affirmation of human potential, regardless of our dystopian media landscape. “We live in a time now where being kind is subversive. Taking time for another person is subversive,� says Pujol. As artistically and politically challenging as Kisses may be, Pujol seems content with the direction of his work. “I don’t want to have to expect to be disappointed and surrounded by dysfunction the rest of my life,� he says. “I don’t want to be treated as if I am naive or ignorant because I am happy or excited about something.� f

It’s titled Glacier, and the record is evidence of the group’s honing of its composition style since 2013’s Veloce. This time around, Dana Swimmer is more focused on guitar work and propagating its rhythm that way, as opposed to just throwing whatever against the wall and seeing what sticks. The result is a largely cohesive album with only a couple of sore spots (namely “Starling,” which showcases Jack Blauvelt’s naturally modulated vocals way too much, and “Happy Too,” which has this signature guitar line that just sounds upside down). Overall, it’s a huge step up for the band, which has been a favorite of Athens audiences pretty much since its inception. Check out the new tunes at danaswimmerglacier.bandcamp. com. A VIEW FROM THE OUTSIDE: The Classic City Fringe Festival happens this week from Thursday, Oct. 22–Saturday, Oct. 25. The multifaceted event incorporates events ranging from the fully avant-garde to family-friendly stuff. Its various elements include “theater, dance/movement, music, video/film, performance art, poetry, puppetry, comedy, improv, art installations, circus and cabaret, burlesque and vaudeville and other performance-based art.” Events take place at several venues, including The World Famous, Live Wire, Rubber Soul, Flicker Theatre & Bar, Lumpkin Street Station, Joker Joker Gallery and Max. Unique among Athens events is that no tickets will be sold at the door of any venue. You must have pre- Dana Swimmer purchased passes (known as “Fringe Bucks”) to enter, which can be purchased only in advance at a Fringe Buck box office set up during the event, or buy a full-festival pass online. Fringe Bucks may also be used during the Moonlight Gypsy Market, with which the CCFF is partnering. Personally, I love the idea of planning ahead and hope this is successful. Athens does love to lollygag, though, so fingers are crossed. For more information, see the story on p. 12.

nom de plume Penny Lame, and it’s pretty damn good. Once you know Party Songs was recorded in bathrooms via GarageBand, it’ll sound that way, but it really doesn’t make any difference. Stylistically, both the music and its graphic representation owe quite a bit to early-to-mid-‘90s twee and indie-pop, but there’s thankfully none of the persistent (read: pretentious) obsessiveness over childhood, deliberate amateurishness or nostalgic insecurity. If anything, it’s a clearly executed document of what it must be like to be a 20s-ish woman navigating the world of friendship, family and dating. Instead of being wise beyond its years, it’s wise within them. The lyrics of self-doubt and confusion don’t deny this, as each is part and parcel of such self-awareness. Although it’s not for everybody—nothing is—“Mom and Dad” should hit home no matter what your age. Word on the street is a new full-length album is on the way. Listen to Party Songs over at pennylame.bandcamp.com. FOUND SOUND: Those looking to grab a new fix of synth and electro should head straight to the Bandcamp page for Echo Constant and check out musician Ryan Rudder’s new twotrack release, Inside/Animal. The vocals are a little buried, but I found that after several listens, I actually liked this aspect. “Inside” is a maze of Yaz-style sound that’s ice-cold, where “Animal” has a lot more warmth and a pretty prominent squelch rhythm. This actually came out back in July, and Rudder put out another release, a self-titled full-length album, in February. That record is largely sample-based, but features Rudder’s drum tracks and vocals. It’s a jarring listen at times, and has some pretty wild mood swings about it. Back in 2012, he released an entirely samplebased EP named The Machine, a cool little record where I found myself trying to identify the sources it used. Eventually, I gave up, because it felt like staring at a painting too intently, and I just enjoyed it. All three are worth the time they take, so give ‘em some at echoconstant.bandcamp.com.

Best. Showtime is 5 p.m. Although Dunn’s discography is scattered all over the place, his newest material is available via kevindunn.bandcamp.com, and there was a great compilation named No Great Lost: Songs, 1979–1985 that came out via Casa Nueva Records in 2010 if you can still find it.

grub notes

(varied, well-priced, served with a smile) are better than the biscuit itself. Angie’s Place (10336 Hwy. 72, in Hull, 706-546-6141) opens at 5 a.m. and serves its cathead biscuits until noon Monday through Saturday. The building is low and simple, with a mural of a train running across the front to mirror the railroad on

thin and under-salted. Fried chicken comes in both regular and spicy versions. Your best bet is probably the pork tenderloin on a biscuit, which you can accessorize with gravy but does not require it. It has a kind of meaty simplicity that isn’t as obvious or crowd-pleasing as the salt-bomb of the sausage. Better than Angie’s but more of a drive from Athens is Gina Belle’s (530 General Daniels Ave. N., in Danielsville, 706-7950288), which serves breakfast and lunch most days, but breakfast only on Saturdays, when it closes at 11 a.m. I had planned on checking out its lunch options, which are well reviewed, but chairs were up on tables and things were shutting down. Thankfully, there were still biscuits and some fillings

the other side of the highway. Four windows each bear a line of a little rhyme: “Buttermilk Biscuits/ Here We Go/ Round and Round/ Whip That Dough.” Biscuits are sliced and assembled from pre-cooked ingredients in a hurry. If you require jelly, you can dip yourself some out of two large tubs at the end of the counter. The cheese grits are pretty minimal, done a little too

on the steam table, and they turned out to be excellent. Gina Belle’s also does the flat, ginormous style of biscuits known as “cathead,” but they’re both more delicate in texture and a touch saltier than at Angie’s. The browned crust, which can bland out at many a biscuit retailer, is particularly good, and the country ham, sliced thin, pairs perfectly with the whole package.

Rise and Shine In Search of Athens’ Best Biscuits By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

Joshua L. Jones

Between Ligaya Mishan’s recent New York Times article, “A Quest for New York’s Perfect Biscuit” (which attracted no small controversy, due to its highlighting of biscuits that featured chocolate, duck fat and—heavens!—sugar), and the discovery that, despite McDonald’s recent addition of all-day breakfast, you cannot get an Egg McMuffin past 10:30 a.m. in Georgia, due to our being in the “biscuit market,” biscuits are au courant. Flagpole’s own David Mack even featured them in his comic last week. Mishan writes, “A Southern biscuit is equal parts comfort and controversy, its quality, authenticity and very classification as a biscuit subject to dispute. Its most crucial ingredient is not flour, fat, leavening or liquid, but nostalgia. The biscuit you ate at your grandmother’s knee is the only biscuit there will ever be.” To which the only proper answer is, “Bull.” Nostalgia is a powerful thing, but it doesn’t, or shouldn’t, trump taste. I have pulled over at Angie’s Place countless convenience stores on small highways, drawn in by a sign reading “biscuits,” only to be fairly disappointed with the results. Egg and cheese and sausage lead to marginal satisfaction pretty much regardless, but their enclosure is often lacking: too dense, too doughy, too apt to stick to the roof of your mouth. The Bread Basket, in Boulevard, is generally renowned for its offerings, but the fillings

In Athens (well, Bogart, technically), Strickland’s (4723 Atlanta Hwy., 706548-7003) is still the gold standard when it comes to the classics, with biscuits available with traditional fillings in the a.m. and plain, as a bread with lunch offerings in the p.m. That said, Jarad Blanton at The Pine (1235 S. Milledge Ave., 706-208-0059) is making a strong case for himself with the restaurant’s Biscuit Brunch, served Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. As you hoof it up the hill from the parking lot in the back, should you not be able to snag one of the few spots in the front, you’ll pass the folks who opted for Waffle House instead, perhaps soaking up last night’s debauchery with some old-school grease. They shouldn’t have written off the place next door. Sure, you can’t hear “Waffle Doo Wop” at The Pine, but Blanton’s basic buttermilk biscuit with sausage gravy is just as capable of treating your hangover. Tall rather than flat, it manages to stand up to the intensity of the gravy with housemade sausage and a faint hint of citrus, the delicate yin to the gravy’s ballsy yang. Blanton says his Southern grandmother made biscuits when he was growing up that were always his favorite thing; she taught his mother how to make them, and his mother taught him. His food has always had gusto as a hallmark, and he says he uses bacon fat in all his roux and confit, but the lightness of the biscuit is an even more impressive achievement. The brunch has a small menu, with a few flatbreads, some other more complicated biscuits, pimento cheese grits and, post-12:30 p.m., a smoothie that incorporates Cathead Vodka and spicy Blenheim ginger ale. f

BRIDGE OF SPIES (PG-13) The latest American history lesson from Steven Spielberg and regular collaborator Tom Hanks offers audiences a fascinating, untold true story. An American lawyer named James Donovan (Hanks) was thrust into the middle of the Cold War when he was requested to defend an alleged Soviet spy, Rudolf Abel (acclaimed stage actor Mark Rylance). After the trial was over, Donovan engaged in spycraft to arrange the prisoner exchange of Abel and a downed U2 pilot, Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell). In his first film since 2012’s Lincoln, Spielberg may have delivered his most entertaining history lesson yet with this combination of le Carré spy games and a nuanced recreation of the nuclearfrightened ‘50s. The film may lack the consequence of his historical masterpieces, like Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan or Lincoln, but the legendary filmmaker simply excels in the realm of populist entertainment that is exemplified by Bridge of Spies. Hanks is in his comfort zone as the ideal American, fighting for the Constitution and the little man against bigotry and communism. Some, and maybe a lot, of Bridge of Spies’ amusement must be attributed to the script, co-written by Joel and Ethan Coen. Spielberg typically surrounds himself with

Songwriter Tim DeLaughter, previously known for fronting Tripping Daisy (givers of one of ‘90s alt-rock one-hit-wonderdom’s most indelible nuggets in “I Got a Girl”), posed as a pseudo-cult leader, his 24-piece band donning white robes in support of his singular creative vision.

The cats have a small room where they can interact with visitors and it’s very nice for young cats to stretch their legs and have fun with people. Some animals are stressed to be in this environment and really gain comfort from sitting quietly on a friendly, reassuring lap. see more dogs and cats online at 10/8 to 10/14

advice

hey, bonita…

How Do I Unfriend IRL? Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com There’s this person who hangs around my group of friends whom I really don’t like. They’ve never done anything to me, but they’re just not my type. I’d never hang out with them or be buddies with them. They obviously don’t know this, because lately, they’ve been really nice to me. Just plain old friendly, and I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m a nice person, too, and I don’t want to be rude, but I’m scared this person is warming up to me and might think we’re buddies. We’re not, and we’ll never be. I need to figure out how to shake this hanger-on.

specifically women in these couples who are trying to have children. Empowering women does not only mean [empowering] those who chose to stray from “traditional” family structures. It extends to those who use their agency to have children, as well. To be perfectly honest, I have issues with your column for this very reason. All I ask is, you have been given a voice in this community which I treasure so dearly; please think about what you write before you print it.

I didn’t invent the word “breeder,” darling. Queers have been calling y’all that for decades, and to treat my use of the word as To spurn an offer of friendship is pretty though it has the same weight as an actual, serious. Clearly, you have your reasons, and time-tested slur levied against people of you have a right to them. Don’t be friends color or the LGBT+ is with anyone you just laughable. Keep don’t want around You’re giving me it in perspective. you. I very much enjoy But be prepared Feminism 101 while calling being subversive with to look like a real me names and telling me I’ll language in ways that asshole here. That’s the only way you’re never be good enough for you. provoke thought. For one, I call myself gonna pull this off. You sound like Miley Cyrus. a “queer,” and not You’re just going to bisexual or pansexual have to refuse any friendly offerings and ignore any correspon- or anything more politically correct. I do dence. This generation’s most definitive “we this for the same reason that Sherman Alexie calls his people—the natives of this are not friends” move seems to be social continent—“Indians”: to remind the white media blockage, so do that, too. If this perman where that word came from. I always son is really trying to be your friend, then thought Athens could handle it, but then the message will be clear. again, I also heard there’s a vegan church in this town. I think you consider yourself an ally, but part of being a real ally to a marginalized group is not trying to police their struggle. Obviously, I’m not speaking the way you like to hear queers speak about the status quo. It’s like when Miley Cyrus said people would listen to Nicki Minaj’s complaints about discrimination if she were nicer. That is the definition of tone policing, which you are doing right now to me. You’re that person on Facebook who comments on #blacklivesmatter posts screaming about how ALL LIVES MATTER. You’re giving me Feminism 101 [In response to] while calling me names and telling me I’ll a quote from one of your replies, “I’m queer, never be good enough for you. You sound too, and part of living that is dealing with like Miley Cyrus. tokenization by breeders”: If you have a problem with my column Really, Bonita? Where do you get off labelevery week, you are looking for problems. ing heterosexuals “breeders”? I fully agree that There is no pleasing people who are deterpeople often mistreat the queer community mined not to be pleased. Like it or not, and treat them as some sort of “token,” as you I’m a member of your community, I have a say—no question about it. But in the process voice, and though I can’t make any promof defending queer rights (as we ALL should ises about my language, I will continue to do), that does NOT mean we have to put down be here for y’all, and I will always do it from heterosexuals at the same time. my heart. f If you want people to listen to anything you say (which obviously you do, having an advice column) it is best not to be an ignoramus Need advice?
