Say Goodbye to Pinkie’s

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD WINNER!

The Savannah Bar and Political Hot Spot Is Closing By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com From one of my favorite cities, Savannah, comes the sad news that Pinkie Master’s Lounge will close at the end of the year. The closing is apparently the result of a real estate dispute between the current operator and the owner of the building where Pinkie’s has been dispensing Pabst Blue Ribbon and assorted other beverages for more than 60 years. It is one of those bars that has always been a destination spot for Georgia politicians and the reporters who write about them. Jimmy Carter visited Pinkie’s when he was a state senator and governor, and legend has it that he climbed up on the bar to make an early announcement of his run for president. “The first time I came in here I had no support,� Carter recalled during a 2002 visit. “I’d come in here and Pinkie would close the bar; well, I don’t know if he closed, but he’d shut the door and mimeograph signs and fliers. Everybody was mooching beer off Pinkie.� I first encountered Pinkie’s as a young reporter back in 1977 when I drove to Savannah to work on a St. Patrick’s Day feature story. St. Patrick’s Day is a very big deal in Savannah, and Pinkie’s was one of those watering holes at the center of the festivities. The man for whom the bar was named, Pinkie Masters, had been stricken with cancer, and it appeared this would be the last St. Patrick’s Day he would see. In fact, he did pass away later that year. Pinkie greeted us at the bar wearing a sailor’s cap with the brim pulled down to hide the fact that his hair had fallen out from cancer treatments. We talked until the wee hours about people he had known, and I’m sure some distilled spirits were consumed during the process.

When I visited Savannah in the years since, I would try to stop by Pinkie’s and have a beer or two to celebrate his memory. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the lounge looked exactly the same every time—the same photos on the wall, the same dark atmosphere, probably the same dust on the booths. The fact is, a lot of the political process happens in bars like Pinkie’s. Up-andcoming lawyers or political activists will sit in these bars with their friends and strategize about how they’re going to challenge some entrenched incumbent in the next election. Bars are also a favorite place for incumbents and challengers alike to hold fundraisers to squeeze out some contributions for that upcoming campaign. It will always be the case, as the old saying goes, that “money is the mother’s milk of politics.� A lot of that milk flows in the shadows of a local watering hole. Bars can even produce the people who run for office. Manuel Maloof, the cranky Lebanese-American barkeep who ran Manuel’s Tavern in Atlanta until his death in 2004, used the bar as a home base to win elections as commission chairman and chief executive officer of DeKalb County. Manuel’s spirit lives on with his saying still posted near the cash register: “Anybody don’t like this life is crazy.� You have to be crazy if you choose to hang out with politicians in bars, but you’ll have fun in the process and hear a lot of entertaining stories. Pinkie’s most likely will shut its doors for the last time on Jan. 1, but I hope they can somehow find a way to keep it open for at least one more St. Patrick’s Day. I’m sure that Pinkie, wherever he may be now, would approve. f

St. Joe or St. No? Proposed Development on Prince Comes Under Scrutiny By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com What, you didn’t think it was just going to sail through, did you? This is Athens. Greenville, SC-based Homes Urban’s plans for a mixed-use development at the former St. Joseph Catholic Church at Prince Avenue and Pulaski Street—the church has mostly completed its move to Epps Bridge Parkway—drew rave reviews prior to being submitted last month, and still enjoy strong support from intown neighborhood groups. But adjacent homeowners are now raising concerns about the development. Homes Urban owner Russ Davis, who is seeking a rezoning, formally presented the plans to the Athens-Clarke County Planning Commission on Thursday, Nov. 5. They include a small grocery store and other retail space and apartments fronting Prince, another large apartment building with a parking deck behind it and six smaller apartment buildings near Childs Street, for a total of 146 one- and two-bedroom units. The historic chapel on the property will be converted into a restaurant. “I think this is a very exciting proposal,” Cobbham Neighborhood Association President Clint McCrory told the planning commission. “It’s very appropriate for this location.” The Boulevard Neighborhood Association also supports it. Not everyone in Boulevard is fully supportive, though—including influential activist Tony Eubanks, the driving force behind efforts to remold Prince Avenue as a complete street for 14 years. “I’m very nervous about this plan,” he said. “I understand people have a lot of reservations about this plan.” In particular, he said, he wants to know how the developer plans to deal with traffic and moving people around without cars. Pulaski Heights residents who live immediately adjacent to the property and will be most affected by it are wary, too.

Heights and the condos near the tracks on College Avenue come to mind—were originally built for young professionals but filled up with students anyway. Another selling point for a community where housing costs are quickly spiraling out of reach for many working people is that Davis said he will set aside “some portion” of units that will be affordable for those making 80 percent of the local median income (about $27,000 a year). But how many? And what will the market-rate units rent for? There is no timetable for Davis to bring back answers to these questions and more detailed plans, but planners said the earliest we’re likely to see them is January.

“I’ve lived here for 19 years now and seen all manner of bad development try to come into our neighborhood,” Lauren O’Grady said. The apartment buildings accessible from Childs Street are out of scale with the modest homes nearby and could dump traffic onto residential streets, critics said. A trash Food Trucks: Thank God, you will soon be compactor on the property is another conable to buy a hamburger out of a truck wincern. So is shade.

Commish Dish: The commission did lots of other stuff Tuesday, too, including: • approving, after much parliamentary weirdness that inspired a GIF-y blog post, a 20-year water and sewer plan that precludes any possibility of sewer lines in the environmentally sensitive Sandy Creek and Lower Shoal Creek basins. • opting to keep domestic partner benefits for unmarried ACC employees. • approving plans for the long-shuttered Southern Mill off Chase Street, which will be converted into lofts and retail space. In related news, the state has approved an Opportunity Zone around the project, which will give businesses tax breaks for creating jobs there and could spur more development in the Bryan/Miles/Oneta Street area. Living Wage: Athens-Clarke County set a policy under Mayor Heidi Davison that all full-time ACC employees are paid a “living wage” of at least $10.50 an hour. Athens for Everyone, the progressive group that grew out of Tim Denson’s 2014 mayoral campaign, is pushing ACC officials to extend that policy to part-time and seasonal workers as well. While only 11 employees would be affected, it’d also be inexpensive to implement: less than $38,000 a year, according to A4E. A petition is up at athensforeveryone.com. Commissioners Andy Herod, Melissa Link and Kelly Girtz said they support the effort. “I think it’s a very important thing for us to set an example,” Herod said. Talkin’ Turkey: Dozens of Athens families may have to go without a turkey this Thanksgiving unless some generous souls step up. Bird flu decimated the turkey population this year, which has driven prices up and out of reach of the Athens Area Emergency Food Bank, according to the group’s president, Kim Ramos. (This organization is not to be confused with the Northeast Georgia Food Bank, also based in Athens.) Ramos said the emergency food bank is in need of turkeys and/or hams for 150 clients, and as the holiday is quickly approaching, time is of the essence.

Stay Away from Redneck Beach

A Once-Hidden Spot’s Growing Popularity Brings Environmental Problems By Seth Fields news@flagpole.com

T

here is a once-little-known place on the southside of town that has been gaining in popularity over the last few years. Let’s say, for lack of a better term, it’s been “trending.” News feeds, blogs and Instagram accounts have been filling up with pictures and tales of a new local hotspot. I’m referring to a place that in recent years has been branded by a rather strange name. I’m talking about Redneck Beach—an “underground” oasis for impromptu bonfires and sunbathing. Throw a rope swing and a waterfall into the mix, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a Classic City summer. Sound too good to be true? Unfortunately, it is. The days of tan lines and belly flops are over on Redneck Beach—and I’m not just referring to the changing of the seasons. Vandalism and a host of problems have begun to plague the once peaceful area on McNutt Creek, and now the landowners and local law enforcement are making some changes. At some point, most adventure-seekers and outdoor lovers who call Athens home are drawn to its rivers and waterways. Beautiful as they are, most of the waters flowing through Clarke County are polluted, and McNutt Creek is no different. The health, or lack thereof, of the water that runs over the falls at Redneck Beach is largely due to the increased amounts of litter that adorn the waterways, beaches and nearby highways. From Macon Highway all the way down to the water’s edge lie the trashy remains of river-goers and their wastefulness: PBR cans, dog feces, abandoned coolers and empty suntan-lotion bottles. This has not gone unnoticed by the Environmental Protection Agency or local biologists. Ania Truszczynski, the education specialist at the Athens-Clarke County Stormwater Division, has studied the effects of litter and wastes on our local wildlife and ecosystems. “Litter can have a negative effect on ecosystems and stream ecology,” she says. “Glass, aluminum cans and styrofoam can all harm ecosystems. Some types of litter, such as cigarette butts and lead-acid batteries, may leach pollutants

directly into our waters. Other types of litter, such as plastic bags, can be eaten by animal species, causing harm or even leading to death. If the litter does not harm the animal through ingestion, some forms of litter, like plastic six-pack rings or fishing line, can lead to strangulation.” Fortunately for our waterways, many local individuals, organizations and conservationists have taken it upon themselves to become stewards for the area and clean up after all the litterers, through volunteer river clean-ups, educating the public about the hazards facing our waters, putting out trash cans and signs intended to curb litter and waste and sometimes even literally taking out the trash. One possible explanation for the recent escalation in traffic and litter at Redneck Beach could be a Red & Black article last spring that described not only how to get to the secluded area, but also beckoned students to “go for a swim

or get your tan on. Bring your dog! If you don’t have a dog, bring your roommate. No roommate, no problem… grab a six-pack.” Consequently, the number of beach bums and beer bottles on the shores has skyrocketed. Redneck Beach has also seen an increase in criminal activity. Within the last year, the nearby Puritan Cordage Mill went up in flames, there was a horrific suicide, police had numerous calls to come and escort people from the grounds, new graffiti has been popping up every week, and the area has been so affected by trash and pollution that Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful and ACC Stormwater are targeting it for immediate attention. Redneck Beach is actually private property on both sides of the water. McNutt Creek divides Clarke and Oconee County, and it doesn’t matter which side of the falls you’re on, you’re trespassing. Both the ACC Police Department and the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office are cracking down on trespassers. “The owner sent us a letter notifying us that only family of the owners were allowed on the premises,”

and the sheriff’s department will be “escorting violators off of the grounds and ticketing if necessary,” says Capt. Jimmy Williams, chief of communications for the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office. Dennis Hale spends his days and nights looking after the old mill and creek and is a prominent figure in the fight to protect its legacy. He is the kind of guy who can rattle off a bunch of good stories one after the other and never miss a beat—a true storyteller with the uncanny ability to effortlessly recall dates and stories from the past in great detail. Hale’s extensive catalog of memories and stories from the area come from having spent his entire life living next door to the mill, and now, 63 years later, he has been given authority by the owners of the mill, who live out of state, to serve as its gatekeeper and warden. He told me a number of tales about the mill and adjacent creek bed. Some were insightful, and some were just downright scary. He recalled times he had to chase off homeless people from the ruins of the mill, an instance where someone was stabbed on the beach and, most recently, the night the mill caught fire. Many of his tales were historical or from a simpler time during the mill’s heyday. Hale is no stranger to helping law enforcement run people off of the grounds, and he actually had to do so several times during our conversation. He has been busy posting signs and towing cars from the premises and will continue to do so until people stop coming. If you still have the inclination to go outside and dip your toes in the water, there are lots of public access points to rivers and creeks that are equally as beautiful—without the potential threat of being arrested. The North Oconee River Greenway and Ben Burton Park are both free and have lots of space for you to get away from it all and spend a day on the water. Just remember, you can still get your tan on, invite a roommate and bring your dog, but don’t bring the six pack—all public parks are alcohol-free. Your liver and the environment will thank you later. Hopefully, once all the people and trash have been removed from Redneck Beach, we can rename the area something more fitting, and it can go back to being one of the hidden gems of our city. f

Mark Richt Is Regaining Control

LUNCH SPECIAL MON-FRI 11AM-3PM GMBHQPMF

A Tumultuous Week Ends With a Win Over Kentucky By Cy Brown news@flagpole.com Ramsey received some snaps, as well, but neither was effective, throwing for a combined 90 yards. Instead, Georgia was able to rely on its rushing attack for the first time without Nick Chubb. Sony Michel, broken hand and all, proved he’s capable of carrying the load for his offense, carrying the ball 24 times for 165 yards. Freshman wideout Terry Godwin scored UGA’s first touchdown in two games when he ran a muffed direct snap 28 yards to the end zone midway through the first quarter. Even Keith Marshall had a good day, taking 13 carries 60 yards, including one of the strongest stiff arms I’ve seen in years on a run that set up a touchdown. Make no bones about it, though: We played well against a bad team. This is something we’ve seen before, i.e. a 52-20 win over a South Carolina team that lost to Kentucky and led Steve Spurrier to take his ball and go home less than halfway through the season. Yes, we scored 27 points, but look at Kentucky. It has the 78thranked defense in the country. It’s not exactly like we’re doing this against world-beaters. Winning’s better than losing (#analysis), and it will ease the pressure on Richt and the coaching staff and loosen up the the players, allowing them to play better as they move forward. The next challenge for this Bulldog team as it fights for a respectable finish is a trip to the Plains for a contest against the Auburn Tigers. In all the Defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt applauds Mark Richt for letting preseason hype and hullabaloo, him keep his job. this game was supposed to be one of the marquee matchups on the SEC turmoil, we heard rumors of a donnybrook calendar, as both teams were picked by between the coaches that led to the firing many to reach the SEC championship game. of defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.

Still, things‌ did not look good. But the Bulldogs ran into a once-again rainy Sanford The problem this team has is there’s no way to shake off the stink from the three-loss Stadium Saturday and beat the Kentucky October.

Georgia is expected to against Florida and with this season in win out and should win out. However, win general, the coaching staff decided to those and get a bowl win against a likely experiment a little. The most drastic move solid Big Ten team, and Richt will keep was a complete reshuffling of the offensive his post, although with other coaching line, which featured some second-stringers replacing former starters, as well as a switch changes attached. If that happens, Richt can weather the storm. As many problems in position for others. The Bulldogs also as the Bulldogs have, I still think they’re used their quarterback carousel to gain a better than Auburn, Georgia Southern and small advantage, naming Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta quarter- Georgia Tech.

For while, it seemed parody became prophecy. It started with Georgia’s embarrassing and season-crushing 27-3 loss to Florida. There were cries of “fire Mark Richtâ€? far louder and more serious in tone than I’ve heard throughout his tenure. To add more

like I can with good beer and wine. Another single-origin espresso called Misty Valley from Ethiopia is described as having strong blueberry-like flavors. Honestly, I can’t tell the difference. Next is a long black—an espresso dripped into a small amount of water. It tastes watered-down, like skim milk. Now, onto the infinitely photographable cappuccino. For this one, Kozak explains how the milk and its texture affects the flavor as much as the bean, and how they have to compliment and not take away from each other. He whips up a frothy batch of steamed milk and proceeds to make a pretty little squiggly thing on top. It isn’t bad, but it tastes too much like milk for me and again seems watered down. But it sure does make for a pretty photo. Josh Brown

I

am 34 years old and, until this week, I had never had a cup of coffee. Not an espresso. Not a cappuccino. Not a latte. Not from Starbucks nor a gas station. Not a sip. I’m not sure why. It wasn’t like I made a conscious decision to avoid coffee, or even caffeine for that matter. In fact, I have a really nasty Red Bull habit. I think it has to do with how much I hate hot things. When a hot piece of pizza scalds the roof of my mouth, I’m pissed for days. But for the sake of a good story and to say I did, I decide to give coffee a try, and I want to go to a place where I could actually learn something about the process. So I gave 1000 Faces a call—the Jittery Joe’s Roaster nearby on Barber Street would’ve been just as good an option—and they let me hang out with them on a busy Monday morning and walked me through the basics of drinking coffee, all while getting me more hopped up on caffeine than I originally bargained for.

The Experience I begin my morning with co-owner Jan Kozak, who gives me a quick tour of their facility on Barber Street. He starts with an explanation of the bean. Apparently, the coffee bean isn’t actually a bean at all, but rather a berry from a shrub. Five minutes in and I’ve already learned something new. The flavor profile for these beans is similar to wine grapes: The region, climate and soil all play an integral part in giving the coffee Nicky Jones prepares a pour-over coffee. bean its unique flavors.

(Then again, maybe I’m starting to feel the effects of formly, i.e. each bean gets treated the same way. But when the first few drinks.) It’s reflective: Swirl right, then swirl that happens, all the work the farmers put in gets ignored, left. Then slowly swirl right. Then swirl left again. The quiet and they lose their distinct flavors. So 1000 Faces’ goal is dripping. The little bubbles at first bloom. I am hypnotized to find a roasting method (called profile roasting) unique by the art and science behind the pour-overs. to each bean that enhances the natural flavors particular to I stick to black and again, despite the temperature, it’s each bean.

Buggin’ Out Americans Slowly Embrace Eating Insects By Lauren Marie Schumacker news@flagpole.com All over the world, people eat insects. In parts of Asia they’re sold as roadside snacks, as quick and easy to pick up as popcorn or a bag of pretzels. While that has not caught on here in the U.S., edible insects are gaining an ever-growing following. Edible insects were the focus of Athens Science CafÊ’s program a little over a month ago. A selection of restaurants and other food businesses from around Athens were invited to create a dish using a choice of either crickets or mealworms. Marianne Shockley, a professor of entomology at UGA, first became interested in the idea of and possibilities surrounding edible insects as a graduate student at UGA in 1999. She began conducting research on edible insects a few years ago. More recently, she’s seen a jump in American interest levels, especially from the business side of things. Yet eating insects still isn’t part of mainstream food culture here, Shockley says—not yet. “Here in the U.S., I would really compare it to a new food. Just because of our geographical location, it’s not something

we grew up eating. Insects weren’t around in the winter,� Shockley says. “It’s kind of the same paradigm you’ve heard it over and over again—sushi in restaurants and grocery stores 20 years ago would have just been a ‘no way, no how,’ because it’s a new food here in the West.� The idea of eating insects seems to be intrinsically tied, in many people’s minds, to going outside and eating dirty, yucky bugs crawling around on the sidewalk or in the garden. Edible insect experts, however, are split on if that’s really the cause of eaters’ hesitancy. “One philosophy of thought is it is that ick factor, but I really, really think, when you kind of pick that ick factor apart and you’re like, ‘Well, is a whole fish on your plate icky? Is a whole chicken on your plate? Is harvesting your own food?’ I mean, at what part of the food process are people

UGA food science graduate student Cathy Micali first became interested in edible insects as a result of being passionate about sustainable food sources. She’s currently doing research in a processing lab, grinding up raw crickets to analyze how they can be used as an ingredient and discover more about their food properties so that they can be used as something more than just an additive. “Eggs are used to hold cake together, so if crickets gel or denature at a certain point and can be used to hold things together, you might be able to substitute them for eggs. That’s super hypothetical, but that’s kind of where I’m going with it,� Micali says. As insect protein ingredients become more popular—there are already energy bars and the like that use them—we may end up coming around to the idea. f

On the Road

Cicada Rhythm’s Excellent, Expansive Debut By Gabe Vodicka music@flagpole.com

C

icada Rhythm’s self-titled debut sounds like driving: driving at night, at dawn, past farmland on lonesome back roads or cityscapes on busy interstate highways. The music is slow and patient at times, fierce and energetic at others. But it’s always moving forward. Currently, Cicada Rhythm is driving through the Midwest, on tour supporting Indiana folk-rockers Houndmouth. There’s only one problem: They’re not quite sure where they’re going. “We’re heading to Minneapolis tonight,” says bassist and vocalist Andrea DeMarcus. “I thought we were playing in Milwaukee?” guitarist Dave Kirslis interjects. A quick check, and a determination: Milwaukee it is. “We’ve never been to any of these cities,” DeMarcus says with a laugh. Forgive the two for feeling overwhelmed. After years of grinding out an existence on the periphery of the roots music scene, building a word-of-mouth fan base with a four-song demo and a seemingly nonstop series of powerfully understated performances, Cicada Rhythm has reached a point of peak activity. Now, the band seems perched on the edge of something more. In 2013, Kirslis, a onetime train-hopper, and DeMarcus, a Juilliard grad—the two are romantic as well as creative partners—relocated from Atlanta to Athens. This summer, they signed with Normaltown Records. In October, the label released Cicada Rhythm, a striking, 12-song collection that has inspired praise from outlets like NPR. Though writing the album took place over the span of at least two years, Kirslis says the finished product came together in a matter of days. “It’s pretty minimal, pretty raw and barebones,” he says. “But we did have a lot of people collaborate with us.”

Those collaborators included Athens engineer Drew Vandenberg, as well as pedal-steel whiz Matt Stoessel, drummers Colin Agnew and Justin Holtsclaw, multi-instrumentalist Rex Hussman and a handful of other session players. Yet the LP never feels bloated, even when all hands are on deck. “Whatever we added, we wanted to keep it light,” explains DeMarcus. In contrast to the group’s 2011 demo, the new record showcases more than Kirslis’ earthy fingerpicking and DeMarcus’ standup bass skills, though those talents, as well as both singers’ distinct, dramatic voices, remain the music’s heart. Vandenberg helped the band fill out its sound with tasteful flourishes: the atmospheric reverb swirl on “Shadows Before You”; the loose, expansive Brit-psych vibe of “Round Yellow Suitcase”; the grimy garage-rock feel of “Dirty Hound.” “We might have made an unconscious move towards getting away from strictly folk-based stuff, or bluegrass-tinged [songs],” says DeMarcus—a smart move for a group that otherwise risks being overshadowed by its association with that strain of hey-ho, capital-A Americana so prevalent on FM radio and TV commercial soundtracks The music on Cicada Rhythm is antithetical to those fraudulent folk sounds. Among other assets, it bears a definite geographic stamp, not in a stereotypical sense—as DeMarcus jokes, they make Southern music “without having to shout ‘Kentucky!’ or ‘Alabama!’”—but in its deep understanding of what came before. (Adding to its sense of time and place, the record was partly recorded in a decommissioned 19th Century church in rural Sparta.) “I feel like there’s a lot of music out there right now that you can see live or hear on the radio and draw no connections to the past,” says Kirslis. “A lot of Southern music, early folk and country and blues, a lot of the riffs people played and the progressions show through in [our] music… You can sense some sort of appreciation for the past. That’s

what makes it Southern for me.” In addition, Cicada Rhythm reflects the band’s new hometown, in both its willingness to experiment and its communal spirit. “We’ve fallen in love with Athens,” says Kirslis. DeMarcus adds, “A lot of our older music was kind of lighthearted and simple, and I think now it’s a little more intensified. Some of the songs are a little heavier, or more complex in terms of meaning.” Kirslis attributes the creative change to Athens’ “encouraging atmosphere,” adding, “Everyone in the town understands, to some degree, the life of a musician. Everyone we’ve worked for has been really encouraging and flexible in wanting us to pursue our musical dreams.” Beyond the encouragement of friends, fans and bosses, unexpected industry support has given Cicada Rhythm its biggest boost yet. “Initially, we were kinda nervous” about signing on with Normaltown, says Kirslis. “From doing this whole thing by ourselves, we started working with a record label and a management group and a booking agent… kind of all of a sudden. We quickly found that those were some of our best friends. They were really helpful, and they seem to be really invested.” Still, don’t look for any flagrant careerism from this group, which seems content leaving the particulars of its journey to the open road. As Kirslis sings sagely on “Round Yellow Suitcase”: “No need for maps, just let fate take course/ You’ll see some things are better left a mystery.” f

he music media has run the emo revival into the ground. Think piece after think piece has chronicled the genre’s return to prominence, heralding a new wave of artists as saviors of the maligned, guylined branch of punk that spawned My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy just a decade ago. With progenitors American Football returning to the touring circuit after the re-release of their only album, and bands like Title Fight, The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die and Waxahatchee releasing standout albums this year—and dismantling emo stereotypes in the process—the genre has resurfaced as a force to be reckoned with. But did emo ever really disappear? “It’s a buzzword. People just want traffic to their sites,” says Alex Henery, guitarist for English post-hardcore band Basement, which recently experienced a rebirth of its own.

feeling comfortable with our careers,” he says. “There was never a point where we felt it was right to do it; we just did what we wanted naturally.” Basement’s members continued writing music during their time off from the band, convening over Christmas 2013 for a few low-key jam sessions. Enough of a spark still existed to begin working on new material, which they continued to develop from afar, sharing ideas through email. Henery flew back to England for some writing sessions, and most of the songs were then fleshed out and completed in the studio. “Promise Everything,” the first single from Basement’s forthcoming album of the same name, finds the group balancing aggressive guitars with poignant melodies; Andrew Fisher’s vocals carry the song confidently through catchy choruses and a yowling coda. Henery says the emphasis was on maintaining punk bravado while crafting standout melodies, as evidenced

Formed in the English town of Ipswich in 2008, Basement released two albums before going on indefinite hiatus in 2012 to allow members to pursue other professional lives. After hinting at a return on social media in early 2014, the band surprisereleased a three-song EP, Further Sky, last summer via New England label Run For Cover Records—home to a slew of new emo bands, including Modern Baseball, Tigers Jaw and Pity Sex, among others. Now in the midst of a U.S. jaunt supporting Warped Tour mainstays The Story So Far and with a new album in the works, Henery sees Basement’s return as an opportunity to have some fun. “It felt amazing to be playing shows again, and that people were still interested in seeing us,” he says from the road. What Henery doesn’t mention is that during the group’s U.S. tour last summer— its first in two years—Basement sold out nearly every venue it played, including two shows with Brand New, another highprofile band that also recently came out of hibernation. Along with the appropriate timing, Henery cites personal and professional satisfaction as the impetus for creating new music. “We all had reached a great point of

by the band’s 2014 EP, which included two new songs and a cover of Suede’s “Animal Nitrate.” The fusion of styles, more successful in song than on paper, positions Basement to take punk, pop and, yes, emo into more exciting territories in 2016. Emo has traveled a long, hard road in recovering its tainted name, past the commodification of Hot Topic and through countless after-school “TRL” countdowns. But with the proliferation of like-minded artists making big musical statements today, the genre has returned to its honest roots. Perhaps most importantly, those responsible for salvaging it seem to pay the label no mind. “I don’t think there is a revival, I just think [the] press realized there are a lot of people writing great music, and a lot more people who care about hearing it,” says Henery. f

Mitski Mania Indie Stardom in the Social-Media Age By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

R

eleased last year, Mitski Miyawaki’s Bury Me at Makeout Creek cemented the the 25-year-old New York singersongwriter as one of the premier voices in indie rock. Though it was the third of her career, Makeout Creek was Miyawaki’s first record to gain massive critical acclaim. It’s in support of the album that she has embarked on a nationwide tour with PWR BTTM and Palehound. Though some might confuse Miyawaki’s raw emotion as a consequence of angst or sadness, this seems a gross misinterpretation. Sure, there are hints of long-lost love or cautious uncertainty about the future, but there is never any sense of defeat or anguish. Every inch of Miyawaki’s music is a celebration of the self, and it is that confidence and power that has resonated with such a wide and varied audience. Miyawaki isn’t surprised that audiences didn’t take notice until her third album. In fact, she says, until now, they were never supposed to. “[Makeout Creek] could be called a breakout album, but realistically, it’s the first album that I did any work for. The first two albums I made, I didn’t play shows for. I just put [them] on the Internet as my junior and senior projects in college. There’s this

impression that I just came out of nowhere and kind of lucked out and was suddenly ‘discovered,’ but I think the reality is just that I’ve been building and working at it little by little. So, it’s been nice finally seeing some recognition.â€? Like other ascendant indie stars, Miyawaki has experienced increased pressure to engage with her fan base via social media. She is highly active on Twitter, where she shares thoughts on music, politics, social issues and whatever else comes to mind, not unlike any other mediaconscious person in her early 20s. But she expresses ambivalence about the experience of interacting online. “It’s hard [not to interact], because I just have a really strong understanding that the person talking behind the screen is a real person with a real life, and I don’t want them ignored or neglected,â€? she says. “I’m trying to figure out how to balance my own personal energy and also be a good person to other people. I think a lot of people on the Internet interact with me‌ not really understanding that I’m a person behind the screen. I’m more than just an image or a symbol. “I’ve started to understand that,â€? she continues. “Before, I’d be so confused why

people were throwing such strong emotions and words at me. I think it’s because young people who grew up on the Internet sometimes forget that thing they are throwing all this stuff at is an actual person.� As she negotiates a hectic touring schedule and the Rihanna-esque reality of recording her fourth album in as many years, Miyawaki says she is considering taking a reprieve from the constant interaction. “I’m thinking of scaling back [my Internet presence],� says Miyawaki. “I’m slowly trying to wean myself from it, because it’s taken up too much of my energy [and] my time. I don’t want it to start affecting my artistry, because I don’t want to make music that caters to people or is

worried about what people will think or say.� As for an update on the currently untitled new album, Miyawaki is currently in the mixing process and is too “in the thick of it� to discuss details in depth. Bury Me at Makeout Creek will be a tough act to follow, but as long as Miyawaki continues to share her compelling personal stories via song, passionate fans will be there to listen. f

threats & promises

Get Ready for Winter with Penny Lame Plus, More Music News and Gossip By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com HEADPHONE TIME: The second EP from Penny Lame (aka Jianna Justice) came out last Friday, and since you’re preparing for winter, go ahead and load this into your player. Recorded over two days with engineer Marshall Moore (Hairy Confucius), the record features cover art from Sarah Kennedy, who also handled the cover of Penny Lame’s debut, Party Songs. Thematically, the songs follow the first EP’s path of life navigation, but there’s a harder edge here. It’s not bitterness, but neither is it resignation. If anything, it’s an amplification of Justice’s tendency to bend over

Jianna Justice

backward to place her own shortcomings on an equal plane as those she sings about. This is excruciatingly detailed in “Night Swimming,” which may well be the underside of the R.E.M. song of the same name. Penny Lame plays Go Bar on Tuesday, Nov. 17 with Brooklyn, NY’s Florist. Dig the EP at pennylame.bandcamp.com. FADE IN: The still pretty new Sleeping Red Giants have finished their album and are now deep in mixing mode with Athens’ John Keane. Self-described as “twangy chamberpop,” everything I’ve heard so far is gentle and pleasant, and I’m looking forward to hearing it all once it’s totally done. The plan right now is to complete mixing by the end of the year, release a 7-inch single soon afterward and follow up with the full-length release. The veritable supergroup includes contributions from Nick Robbins, Patrick Burke, Keiko Ishibashi, John Neff, Cameron Steuart, Benji Barton, Kris Barratt, Sanni Baumgartner and Sarah Robbins. The whole thing is headed up by Brandon Hanick (King of Prussia.) You can follow the progress at facebook. com/sleepingredgiants.

THE RACE IS ON: It’s application time for the winter 2016 AthFest Educates grants. Anyone involved with state or local government agencies, nonprofits and public schools may apply if they’re in the business of serving kindergarten to eighth-grade youth. Priority is given to applicants seeking to purchase non-consumable equipment (for music, arts, photography, etc.), as well as funds for activities and/ or professional development. You do not have to be an arts specialist or an instructor in the arts to apply. If you have a creative plan to incorporate music and arts into your work, they’d love to hear from you. The current application cycle is open until Dec. 11, and awards are announced Jan. 11. For more information, see athfesteducates.org/apply, and send any questions to director@athfest educates.org. CRY UNCLE: Robert Smith, drummer for local band Wieuca, has been quietly recording his own compositions, and he just released a collection of them. Going under the name Mercy Rules, he handles all guitars, bass, drums and piano himself, and the new fivesong batch is titled #1. It’s lo-fi by default rather than design, as he recorded it all at home. It’s an enjoyable set of material that’s totally indie rock at heart but, perhaps owing to the naturally lonely nature of this kind of work, impressively expressive and free from creative compromise. Of particular interest are “Leftovers,” with its slide guitar interacting with the piano; “Eye Patch,” with its Who-like arrangement and what sounds like a flute; and “Gauze,” which is pretty plaintive and just plain pretty. Give it a virtual spin via mercyrules. bandcamp.com. EARLY EVENING ADVOCACY: Sexual assault and children’s advocacy center The Cottage is hosting a benefit show at Little Kings Shuffle Club from 6–9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12. Billed as “Unplugged for the Cottage,” it’ll feature local artists playing acoustically, food from Athens eateries and a silent auction of themed baskets. Featured artists are Dangfly! (billed as diet-dangfly!), Beauty and the Beard, the Tiny Jazz Arkestra and Josh Perkins. This year’s event will also shine a light toward the 1BlueString campaign, which draws awareness towards and channels support to male survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Guitarists play with one blue string to show support, and those can be had for free at participating events and from 1in6.org. Tickets for the benefit show are $15 at the door or in advance from northgeorgiacottage.org. f

record review Maserati: Rehumanizer (Temporary Residence Ltd.) On its eighth fulllength release, Rehumanizer, Maserati continues expanding its musical palette beyond post-rock instrumentals. The end result is multilayered songs made possible by each member’s years of digging through record crates for psychedelic and space-rock gems. Half of the six-track album—the two-part title track and “Montes Jura”—furthers the group’s 15-year legacy of psychedelic post-rock. “Montes Jura” is particularly great, utilizing Giorgio Moroder-style synths to create something that could pass as a ‘80s film-soundtrack deep cut. Those songs are all solid in their own right, but it’s the three harderto-define tracks that make Rehumanizer vital. The wordless, 10-minute short story “No Cave” is one of the strongest examples to date of Maserati incorporating both space-rock and electronic elements into a multifaceted jam. “End of Man” furthers the electronic quotient, an upbeat dance track voiced by artificial intelligence. (The latter song could become a dance hit overseas if it falls into the right DJ’s hands.) While vocals act as a distorted instrument on “End of Man,” they are clear as day on “Living Cell,” an excellent example of subdued stoner-rock. [Bobby Moore]

many conflicting opinions, is not a bad thing. (Quantum of Solace is not a fun Bond movie; it is merely less of an endurance challenge.)

Bond uncovers a shadowy terrorist organization led by the enigmatic Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz), who may be more to Bond than first appears, and meets a new lover, Madeleine Swann (LĂŠa Seydoux). The longest Bond yet grasps for greatness in its first two acts before plummeting into boring predictability in its overlong climax. The big reveal of Waltz will surprise not one filmgoer with a minor Bond education. Worse, Waltz, the most perfectly cast Bond villain ever, is woefully ill-used in the movie’s less dynamic last third, and further highlights the aversion to fun suffered by the current version of Bond. The last time Bond went so serious, fans suffered through the near franchise-killing duo of Timothy Dalton adventures. Skyfall and Spectre have a lot in common with Dalton’s woeful final appearance, Licence to Kill, where Bond goes off the reservation. This renegade plot device is unnecessary for an agent classified 00 by the British government, but apparently appeals to the Skyfall/Spectre creative team, which must feel it is making a Cold War dinosaur more relevant for a post-9/11 world. Thanks, Bourne Identity. A new Bond is always a movie moment celebrated by the franchise’s multitude of fans, be it stud or dud. Even the worst Bond movies are usually entertaining, and Spectre, with so much working in its favor, is not one of the worst. So why is

Farmington Depot Gallery · 6–9 p.m. · FREE! After retiring from a career in civil service, C. Larry Wilson decided to buckle down and play in the mud at his studio, Hobson Creek Pottery. The artist, who spent a year in Vietnam during his tour in the Navy, started out in ceramics by creating hand-formed bells often personalized to honor veterans with their names and years of service. He began throwing clay on the wheel soon after, and for the past eight years or so has been cranking out whimsical sculptures in the form of folksy face jugs and animals such as polka-dotted guinea hens, owls, armadillos, woodpeckers and pigs. Wilson’s works will remain on view at the gallery through December. [JS]

The Foundry · 7:30 p.m. · $30 (adv.), $35 (door) California-based pianist George Winston earned a name early on for his adroit re-workings of rural American folk standards, as heard on his 1972 debut, Ballads and Blues, released on guitarist John Fahey’s Takoma label. In the 1980s and into the early ‘90s, he released tranquil, evocative collections named for each of the four seasons, which established him as a new age icon. A student of American music, his work also incorporates elements of classical, jazz and New Orleans R&B. Winston plays a solo concert at The Foundry Sunday to benefit Angels Among Us Pet Rescue and the Athens Area Humane Society. [Gabe Vodicka]

Georgia Theatre · 7:30 p.m. · SOLD OUT Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice takes his time when making a new album. Embarking on a solo career after his band Juniper dissolved in the late ’90s, Rice has released three acclaimed full-lengths in the span of 13 years. His most recent, 2014’s My Favourite Faded Fantasy, finds the troubadour addressing the dissolution of his relationship with partner and musical collaborator Lisa Hannigan with heartbreaking honesty. The eight-song collection follows in the footsteps of Rice’s breakout album, O, and sophomore effort, 9; his lilting voice soars over finger-plucked acoustic guitars, with additional strings and pianos adding emotional gravitas to the music.

Wand

40 Watt Club · 9 p.m. · $7 Los Angeles band Wand has kept extremely busy since forming in 2013. The group released its debut album on fellow California fuzz-maker Ty Segall’s God? imprint in 2014 before setting off on tour supporting Segall himself. Wand has since recorded and released two more albums spanning the gamut of sludgy riffs, mind-altering jams and fantastical lyrics seemingly pulled from your favorite RPG. However, the band shouldn’t be written off as simply another psych-rock clone in a genre that tends to produce much of the same; its devotion to development and evolution of sound over such a short period of time proves the trio still has much in store.

THE LIBERTY LAW OFFICE OF JASON WILSON “Am I being detained?�

When you are involved in an unpleasant encounter with a police ofďŹ cer, this should be the only thing that you say. If the answer is “Noâ€?, then you bid the ofďŹ cer farewell and go on your way.

If the answer is “Yesâ€?, then politely explain that you are going to have a seat at the nearest bench, and wait for further instructions. DO NOT say anything except for your name and your address. DO NOT voluntarily give the ofďŹ cer anything other than your identiďŹ cation. DO NOT consent to a search. Do nothing, except wait on that bench until you have been told whether you are under arrest or if you are free to go.

Well, actually there is one thing that you can do. Get out your cellphone and give me a call. As a self-proclaimed Libertarian Lawyer, I have built a practice around defending people against criminal charges – with a special emphasis on nonviolent drug offenses. So whether it is at the encounter itself or after the encounter is done, give me a call and we’ll discuss how I can help you.
