Some FLSA Clarity: “I deeply care about our staff and want to make this transition as smoothly as we can,” UGA President Jere Morehead said at his quarterly media briefing last week, but administrators say they have no choice but to make the unpopular switch from a monthly to a biweekly pay schedule for thousands of employees. As Flagpole has previously reported, changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act that take effect Dec. 1 raise the salary threshold for workers who are eligible for overtime from $23,660 to $47,476. The changes mean that 3,100 UGA employees will now be eligible for overtime pay or comp time if they work more than 40 hours in a week. But in implementing the new rules, UGA is withholding those employees’ pay for the second half of November until Dec. 9, when they will start to receive checks every two weeks instead of every month. Many affected employees are upset by the delay and because they’ll receive slightly less money 10 months out of the year—except for the two months when they’ll receive three checks—although monthly expenses will remain the same. Although UGA has cast the changes as the result of the FLSA, Vice President for Finance and Administration Ryan Nesbit acknowledged that the FLSA does not prohibit paying employees monthly. The pay schedule changes are the result of a combination of state law and UGA and University System of Georgia policy, he told Flagpole. State law requires that employees who are eligible for overtime must be paid at least twice a month, Nesbit said. When told that many affected employees would prefer to be paid twice a month, he said that USG and UGA policy is to pay employees who are eligible for overtime biweekly. About 3,400 UGA employees are already paid biweekly, Nesbit said. But administrators raised the possibility that the changes might be delayed or canceled if a federal lawsuit is successful. Georgia joined 20 other states last week that are suing to block the new overtime rule. Assuming the rules stand, UGA and USG could always change their policies, but that doesn’t appear to be in the cards. There’s another option, too: Based on guidance offered by the U.S. Department of Labor, UGA could simply tell affected employees what most of them believe to be true—that the university will limit their hours to 40 rather than pay them overtime. Since universities and their employees are allowed to agree that they’ll work X hours a week and get paid for that amount, there’d be no reason to change the pay period. Cyclist Killed: The second Athens cyclist in eight days died Sept. 20 in a collision with an Athens Transit bus. According to Athens-Clarke County officials, Anthony Zackery, 53, was riding his bike on the sidewalk along Nellie B Avenue in East Athens when the bus turned left in front of him. Zackery braked but fell off his bike into the street and was hit by one of the bus’ tires. The bus driver, who has 20 years of experience, has not been charged. ACC police asked the Georgia State Patrol to take over the investigation because the crash involved a city bus. Ashley Block, a 25-year-old UGA graduate student, was hit by a car and killed on Athena Drive Sept. 12. That driver has been charged with homicide by vehicle, DUI and other charges. T-SPLOST: ACC commissioners are considering pushing back a vote on a 1 percent sales tax for transportation from November 2017 to May 2018. The issue is that there’s nothing else on the ballot next November for the vast majority of Clarke County voters. A May 2018 vote would coincide with local nonpartisan elections and partisan primaries. If it’s approved, the tax would raise an estimated $113 million over five years. Likely uses for the revenue include catching up on a backlog of road repaving and sidewalk construction; extending Firefly Trail and building a new pedestrian bridge over Trail Creek; greenway construction; bike infrastructure; and a roundabout at the Whitehall Road-Milledge Avenue intersection. According to a timeline the commission is scheduled to vote on Oct. 4, commissioners would appoint a citizens’ advisory committee in November that would recommend a list of projects to fund. After public hearings, the commission would finalize the list next August. f

Subaru, at Last! You No Longer Have to Drive to ATL for These Hard-to-Get Cars By Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com I went by to visit Apryl Hughes Stanfill in her office last week to talk about her group’s new Subaru dealership. As it happened, she was just back from leadership training in Indianapolis, and she was bubbling over with good things to say about Subaru. I would have thought she could teach Subaru a thing or two about automotive leadership, since she is president and CEO of Hughes Automotive Corporation, which, in addition to the new Subaru dealership here, owns Phil Hughes Honda and Athens BMW. While her father, the popular Phil Hughes, was alive, Apryl served as operations manager for the auto company, and when he died unexpectedly in 2012, she was prepared to assume the leadership of the company. The auto business is still a man’s world, though, and she said with a laugh that she was the only woman at the Subaru leadership conference. The first question, considering that Subaru is such a good fit for Athens, is why did it take so long to get a dealership here? Apryl says it has been a combination of limited supply, which the expansion of the Indianapolis plant should ease, and Subaru’s caution about flooding the market. That, plus Subaru’s almost legendary reputation for quality, toughness and emission

controls has created a high demand for the all-wheel-drive vehicles, she says. Just back from training, Apryl extols the virtues of Subaru the corporation. “Zero waste,” she says. “Nothing goes to the landfill from the Indianapolis plant. They have figured out how to reuse everything that comes into the plant—even the styrofoam that parts are packaged in.” She says that in 2009, when Subaru adopted its “Love” approach, the whole company completely changed and dedicated itself to being part of the human family and leaving the planet better. “It’s not a gimmick,” she says, and she rattles off facts about Subaru’s commitment to the environment, to health, to animal welfare and to education and local charities. It took the Hughes corporation two years to complete the application process for becoming a Subaru dealership. “And then they told us that ours would be the first dealership application to be submitted online, so we had to do it all over again,” Apryl says, laughing. She naturally stresses the importance of buying cars locally and the impact of automobile sales on the Clarke County tax base. “So many people just don’t understand how important that is,” she says. At the same

Apryl Hughes Stanfill is president and CEO of the Hughes Automotive Corporation, which has just opened the new Subaru dealership here.

time, she can’t help but be aware of the impending move of some dealers out to the Epps Bridge Centre development in Oconee County. The Hughes corporation has no plans to relocate, at present. Will Athens BMW add a Mini Cooper dealership? Nope. Apryl thinks BMW’s electric cars will have more promise, though not yet. She realizes that the future of the automobile business will be some kinds of alternative fuel—electricity, hydrogen, something other than gasoline. Hers is a changing business, but right now the big change is the opening of the

new dealership and the welcome news that it’s no longer necessary to go to Atlanta to buy a Subaru and get it serviced. You can Google Subaru and read what the experts say about the Foresters and Outbacks and the other models. The late Brack Rowe once tried to hire me because he wanted somebody who could sell Chevrolets to the “pipe smokers,” Brack’s wry nickname for people who do their homework before coming in to buy a car. As many women as men buy Subarus, and they’re probably all nonsmokers by now, but I think they’re probably the customers Brack had in mind. f

Who Should Judge Judges? Legislators Could Dissolve the Board that Prosecutes Bad Judges By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com There are roughly 2,000 judges in Georgia, serving at every level of the judicial system from the state Supreme Court all the way down to local magistrate judges. The great majority of them are honorable people who try to do a decent job of making sure justice is served in their courtrooms. But there are occasionally dishonest or emotionally disturbed people who have to be removed from their judgeships. Over the past decade, more than 60 judges have left the bench because of their misconduct. One of the judges told a female lawyer handling a divorce case that she should drop her pants in a private display in the judge’s chambers. Another judge pulled out a handgun while presiding in court and told a witness, “You might as well shoot your lawyer.� Another judge arranged to have evidence planted so that a woman was arrested on drug charges after she refused to have sex with him. Another judge was caught having sex with an assistant public defender who had represented defendants in his courtroom. These were judges who clearly were a danger to public safety and decency every day that they sat on the bench. They were removed from the judicial system largely as a result of investigations conducted by the Judicial Qualifications Commission. In many instances, the mere prospect of having their misdeeds exposed is enough to persuade a judge under investigation to voluntarily resign. “When I tell them they’re entitled to a public trial, a light bulb seems to go on in their head,� said Richard Hyde, for several years the JQC’s chief investigator. “They don’t want a public trial.� Judges are powerful people, however, and some of them started complaining to legislators. Among its investigations of judges, the JQC admittedly mishandled a

couple of them involving Cynthia Becker, a former DeKalb County Superior Court judge, and Mitchell Scoggins, a Bartow County probate judge. “We still owe an apology to both of these people,â€? Hyde conceded at a legislative hearing. Some lawmakers are using those two cases as an excuse to dismantle the JQC as an independent commission. They plan to replace it with an agency that is controlled by legislators and empowered to conduct its business secretly. The General Assembly Same Local Owner Since 1975 passed a constitutional amendment that Mon-Sat 10 til 7 will be on the Nov. 8 ballot. It would disAcross from Georgia Square Mall solve the current JQC and give legislators 706.543.4323 free rein to replace it. southernwaterbeds.com You can figure out the legislative intent here by looking at the names of those who sponsored the constitutional amendment.

Do UGA Semesters Start Too Early? Faculty, Staff and Students Support Pushing Back Start Date By Martha Michael news@flagpole.com

Aug. 10

might be a little too early to show up for classes, UGA’s University Council has decided. After over an hour of deliberation and debate, council members voted in favor of a proposal to push back the fall 2017 start date from Thursday, Aug. 10—which would have been the earliest start date in UGA history—to Monday, Aug. 14. Many students and faculty grumbled about the current semester’s Aug. 11 start date, the earliest ever. Now, the proposal to push back next fall’s even earlier start heads to President Jere Morehead for either approval or veto. If vetoed, supporters of change to the fall 2017 academic calendar can appeal to the Board of Regents. But if approved, UGA faculty and students will gain a few extra days of summer—a time not only for vacation, but a critical time for experiential learning opportunities such as study abroad, research, internships, jobs, volunteer activities and more, according to a resolution brought forth by UGA’s Student Government Association. The proposal the council passed was created by the Educational Affairs Committee; among its jobs is considering the registrar’s draft academic calendar and amending it if necessary. Yet the EAC’s proposal was not the only new version of the calendar on the table. Two professors, Rachel Gabara and Patricia Richards, started a petition, gathering 111 signatures total, to propose a calendar that included different versions of both fall 2017 and spring 2018 semesters. While both proposals’ main concern is starting too early in August, only the petition group’s calendar attempted to shorten the length of the semesters overall. The Board of Regents requires semesters be no shorter than 15 weeks, including exams but excluding registration, a clarification Registrar Jan Hathcote said was made only in the past couple of years. According to data compiled by Gabara and Richards, and submitted alongside their petition, UGA has the longest fall semester of any of its “peer and aspirational institutions” at 16 weeks and one day. Georgia State University and Georgia Tech have fall semesters of 15 weeks and 15 weeks and one day, respectively.

The BoR also requires 750 minutes of instructional time per credit hour each semester, a number UGA will exceed this fall with a total of 820 minutes. The petition proposed a new fall semester with 760 minutes. “Faculty, including myself, have witnessed higher-thanaverage student absences” on those first days of school, said Jean Williams-Woodward, chairman of the EAC, and they have “concerns over interfering with student internships, training” and other experiential learning opportunities that may not have ended by the time UGA classes start. Yet the EAC proposal that ultimately passed only shortens the semester by one day. “The start date is early. It is a problem,” said Vice President for Instruction Rahul Shrivastav. “But we do not have a problem with the length of the calendar. We should look into what is causing these discrepancies.” UGA is constrained by different university activities and holidays than both Georgia State and Georgia Tech, Shrivastav said. For example, UGA has a weeklong Thanksgiving break, instead of two or three days, and a one-day fall break before the annual Georgia-Florida football game on the last Saturday of October to give students time to drive to Jacksonville. Several council members moved to table the votes during the meeting, calling the proposals Band-Aids that haven’t been fully vetted. The motions failed, with both Executive Committee Chairwoman Janet Frick and Shrivastav openly stating their support of the EAC proposal instead of the petition. “We are putting too much emphasis on Georgia State and Georgia Tech. We need to be careful with that, and we know we’re better than both of them,” Shrivastav said. Others had concerns that shortening the semester would result in change of instructors’ pay, but “we are not paid per minute of teaching,” due to being paid a salary, Gabara said. “We are paid for doing our job well.” Gabara, who came to UGA after teaching at Princeton University, had to adjust from a semester that was 12 weeks plus exams to gaining over three weeks of instructional time. In the Sept. 7 Executive Committee meeting, another council member said she was teaching a course this fall that she hadn’t taught in 10 years, and had to adjust the syllabus to having an extra instructional week.

While courses can be molded to fit varying time frames, others think longer semesters are asking too much. Graduate teaching assistants are suffering from exploitation, said one council member. Another simply said students are fatigued by the end of a long semester. Law professor and previous Executive Committee Chairman David Shipley said he disagrees with the petition and thinks “we are shortchanging our students.” Beyond that, it “sends a bad message to the Board of Regents and the governor that we want to work a little less.” Once the EAC’s proposal passed, the petition’s fall 2017 plan was eliminated. Yet there was still spring 2018 to consider. Originally, the petition group proposed a Thursday, Jan. 11 start date, but amended its proposal to start Monday, Jan. 8, in order to allow Monday classes to meet once before the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. Law School Dean Peter Rutledge urged the council to “let these issues ventilate in a standing committee” that has experience working with the calendar and the president and is more representative of UGA itself. “We should not be making decisions on the fly.” Council members then voted to refer the petition’s spring 2018 proposals to the EAC’s subcommittee “as they do their comprehensive review” of possible changes to the spring semester. The subcommittee will examine potential alterations to the spring 2018 and summer 2018 calendars, and come forward with a proposal “without hurting student experiential learning opportunities or internships,” Williams-Woodward said. All hope is not lost for the petition signees. “We are pleased to have brought a possible solution to this important issue to the attention of University Council,” Gabara said. “And we hope the Educational Affairs Committee will consider the data we collected as they pursue their deliberations regarding the calendar.” UGA President Jere Morehead has not committed to approving the fall 2017 changes, but he hinted during a cabinet meeting before the University Council vote that he would go along with its recommendations, saying the debate is “the proper way you engage in faculty governance,” and he was confident it “would lead to a good outcome.” f

Athens’ composting facility is one of four facilities across the state. West Coast cities like San Francisco and Seattle have very progressive legislation when it comes to food scrap composting.

Showing people how composting preserves our land, resources and dollars in the long run, says Cudnik, is one way to garner support for food scrap collections and initiatives like it. “Compost is the new black gold,” she jokes, but in truth, composting the leftover skin from that organic, locally grown onion closes the sustainability loop.

Where is Athens’ only Ethiopian restaurant, Mannaweenta? The Eastside. Where is La Puerta del Sol, Bruno Rubio’s large and beautiful children’s paradise? The Eastside. And now there’s Craft Public House (1040 Gaines School Road, 706-850-4363), in the Ansonborough mixed-used development, a sort of gastropub that’s trying to bring something more upscale and chef-driven to the area. In many ways, it succeeds. Considered against its immediate geographical area, it succeeds even more. The space is clean and simple, with the same long bar it had in its previous incarnation, as Charlie Nobles. Six beers on draft are all local (Creature Comforts, Terrapin, Southern Brewing and Copper Creek), plus there are craft thingies in cans and bottles (not a giant selection, but not a bad one) and a small menu of craft cocktails using a lot of sweet and sour ingredients (no Craft Public House Fernet Branca here). pers, chile jam and a lovely, well-executed The same food menu is served at sunny-side-up egg on the top is very good. both lunch and dinner Monday through The peppers and the jam assert themselves Saturday, with Sunday brunch varybut don’t completely dominate, allowing ing more, and influences include Italian, the subtler flavor of the egg to infuse most Southern, Indian, Cali-Mex and the sort bites.

rather than individually crafted. The pork sirloin is likewise a bit of a letdown from its listing, with roasted poblano mac-’n’-cheese that lacks flavor aside from heat and a prickly-pear barbecue sauce with too much sugar that feels like it came out of a squeeze bottle. On the other hand, the housemade black-pepper stuffed manicotti with fra diavolo sauce features beautiful fresh pasta. If the chiles could be dialed back just a bit, the kitchen’s skill would have a better chance to be noticed, but the dish works well as is. Samosa egg rolls are a smart way to present the classic filling of spiced peas and potatoes, and are well paired with a cilantro chutney that strongly resembles a chimi-

churri sauce. It doesn’t entirely work for dunking, but spoon it on and it jazzes up the rolls without blotting out their flavor. Different kinds of tacos change out (smoked duck, citrus-cured rockfish, chicken for the kids), but are fresh and tasty. The prices may feel a little high ($8–$10 for apps, $15–$17 for entrees, for the most part), but they’re fair for the kind of restaurant Craft is. And once you’re in that mode

of date night or a nice lunch, you might as well get dessert. The olive oil cake, with a layer of poached peaches, a topping of mascarpone and a side of ginger basil ice cream with a few sprigs of micro-greens, may be the best thing on the menu: smooth in texture and gently spiky in flavor, it’s well balanced and feels worth the fiscal and caloric price. Craft Public House is open until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Sunday. It has a full bar and a kids’ menu. COLLEGE PIZZA: Hungry Howie’s (529 Baxter St., 706-826-2600), a chain out of Michigan, has added its options, well described as “college pizza,� to the gauntlet down Baxter that includes Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s and Little Caesar’s. How to stand out? Sprinkle a flavor packet on your crust, or drizzle sriracha on everything. That’s a bit tl;dr as a way of describing the options, but the flavored crust is not a bad innovation, depending on the flavor you pick. If you go for sriracha, you’ll be left with orange residue on your hands and almost no taste of pizza. The garlicand-herb is apparently the most popular, but it mostly tastes burned. On the other hand, the ranch-flavored crust is totally good. Howie Rolls are basically stromboli, and they’re okay as an add-on, but nothing special. There are decent salads, plus wings and calzones, but the pizza is the main attraction. Hungry Howie’s is open for lunch, dinner and late-night every day. It has a few tables for dine-in and serves no booze. WHAT UP?: Chicken Salad Chick is open in Beechwood. My Athens’ Taco Takedown is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 16 from 4:30–8 p.m. at Terrapin.

Lamar Dodd Faculty Take Over Galleries

l Drema Mongomery: The beautifully gro-

arts & culture

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com It’s no easy feat to balance a career as an educator with an independent art practice, which makes “Spectra: Lamar Dodd School of Art Faculty Exhibition” a rare opportunity to become familiar with some of the most skilled artists in Athens. Named for the broad array of styles and ideas conveyed, the exhibition presents works representing the school’s many departments, not limited to ceramics, printmaking, photography, drawing and painting and sculpture. Below are only a few of the dozens of artists currently sharing works, so take advantage of the closing reception on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. to discover your own favorites. Sunkoo Yuh: Appearing on this week’s Flagpole cover, “Where Does Your Heart Go?” is an eye-catching clay sculpture that offers a glimpse into ceramics professor Sunkoo Yuh’s mind. His three-dimensional works, which occasionally tower at several feet tall, typically begin as two-dimensional images spontaneously drawn in ink. Sharing both conscious and unconscious concerns, these images also reflect on his relationships, memories and life experiences. Images and symbols from various cultures and religions are also incorporated. “Fundamental desire as a human being and mundane life are two big concerns in my work. Longevity, fertility, good marriage, well-being and the everyday issues in our lives are interwoven in my work,” says Yuh. “My pieces embody not just a single story, but multiple interwoven narratives that can be identified by the viewer’s imagination.” “Memory of Sabbath,” a multi-paneled wall mural, depicts unusual clusters of characters and creatures finely outlined against a deep blue background. The stream-ofconsciousness images were derived from

doodles the artist made on Sunday church bulletins while listening to sermons over the course of a few years. Because many of Yuh’s sculptural works are based on intuitively drawn images occasionally pulled from his subconscious, they’re ultimately left open to the viewer’s own interpretation. Incredibly expressive and rich in symbology, the elements are collectively able to offer an overall impression but rely on the viewer’s imagination to pull “Bless Your Heart” by Drema Mongomery together a narrative. of the soundtrack, which was created with “‘Where Does Your Heart Go?’ is an Brant Rackley of Japancakes and is emitexample of work that I can’t understand ted from small speakers embedded into the clearly.

tesque painting “Bless Your Heart” presents glittering jewels and “gender-specific” toys such as a baby doll and a rhinestone-encrusted, heart-shaped wand within a fleshy chamber in shades of hot pink. Blue ribbons, delicate lace and strings of pearls loop among the gut-like growths as if ensnared, possibly alluding to culturally embedded gender stereotypes and roles. Adjunct professor Drema Mongomery, who received her MFA in painting and drawing from Lamar Dodd this past spring, takes photographs of intricately constructed sets to lay the framework of each painting for the series. Borrowing Southern colloquial phrases for titles, her work addresses problematic elements of her upbringing. Margaret Morrison: Opulent and visually overwhelming, “Atomic No. 47” is a dizzying display of silver objects that become duplicated through distorted reflections. A professor of drawing and painting, Morrison was inspired to create the piece while teaching at UGA’s Cortona studyabroad program this past spring, where she attended an antique fair in the neighboring town of Arezzo. Measuring 6 feet tall and 8 feet across, her largest painting to date is appropriately hung near the center of the gallery’s back wall, which allows for a tremendously photorealistic first impression when entering through the door. Ben Vida: The closing night of “Spectra” will feature a musical performance by New York-based artist and composer Ben Vida, who has been contributing to the international experimental music community over the past two decades. As an extension of his ongoing explorations into aural phenomena, advanced spatialization and psychoacoustics, his new electronic piece utilizes immersive sonic materials. Vida will also discuss his process and practice during a lecture in room S150 at 3:30 p.m. f

Shut Up and Sing

Talking Politics With the Drive-By Truckers By Dan Mistich music@flagpole.com

On

Danny Clinch

their new record, American Band, hometown heroes Drive-By Truckers up the ante, blending guitars with scathing commentary about gun culture in the U.S.—a bold move during this divisive election year. The group, which has typically tackled political issues in hindsight (see Southern Rock Opera and The Dirty South), deploys a more direct approach this time by writing about the present. Flagpole spoke with songwriters Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley about the band’s newfound energy after two decades of tearing up the road and the inspiration behind their new album.

The same with police brutality—it’s a national issue. Philando Castile was killed in Minnesota. These are not North versus South problems. PH: It’s just not. In the liner notes, I talk about the divide between rural and urban. But it goes beyond that, too. I mean, there certainly are people in every city that fall into that demographic. I think the whole rural-urban divide is more plainly lit than North-South or even coastal states versus middle America. You can take Georgia, which

Flagpole: American Band is a very political record, but it feels like it’s addressing some topics that we haven’t really been able to discuss in public for the last few years without all the vitriol attached. Patterson Hood: It’s like that Dixie Chicks documentary, Shut Up and Sing. I mean, people will say that to us. And it’s like, “Well, fuck you.” If we’re not allowed to discuss these things, then who is allowed? Is it only someone with a law degree or someone who holds office that can discuss it? Or, is it just the uncle that reads Drudge Report or Breitbart? Are those the only people that are allowed to discuss politics? Also, as a Southerner, anytime you see Southerners talking about anything on TV, they’re usually pointing the camera at the biggest idiot in the room. And they say terrible, terrible things. I’d just like it to be known that not all of us feel that way. You know, I’ve got the same accent as that idiot, but I’m not an idiot. And I don’t have the same beliefs as that idiot. I’m tired of that sort of guy being the one that represents my supposed point of view. I don’t want to open my mouth and for people to assume that I’m going to say some ridiculous shit. Even in the reddest state, if the Trump supporters take Alabama by a 10-point margin, that’s still 40 percent of the populace [who didn’t vote for him], and that’s a substantial number of people who feel the polar opposite of that. But that voice isn’t heard. I’ve been a part of the vocal minority for a long time. And this record just sort of lays it out there. FP: Trump is sort of the perfect example of someone catering to that supposed Southern ignorance, and he’s from the North. People want to talk about gun violence as if it’s only gun-toting rednecks from the South who are fanning the flames.

is supposedly a red state, but you get to the cities or the college towns, and it’s totally different. I lived for 21 years in Athens, and I saw Athens go for Kerry almost 70 percent. And I’m pretty sure Sanders did pretty comparable to that. [Editor’s note: Sanders won 49 percent of the Democratic primary vote in Athens.] I live in Portland, OR now, which is one of the most liberal cities in America—probably in the world. But, if you drive in any direction out of town for 10 minutes, you’re gonna see Trump signs. Many of us assume that the South is still so backwards and conservative and the North is sophisticated and progressive. The regionalism of political affiliation is making less and less sense now. Mike Cooley: It really never was that way. I’ve always said that the Republicans greatly underestimated how well the Southern strategy would play nationwide. And

it shouldn’t have come as any surprise. I mean, I kind of feel insulted that they called it the Southern strategy. Obviously, I know why they were bringing the Dixiecrats into the fold. And I sometimes wonder since then, who became what? Who became whom? Did the Dixiecrats really become Republicans, or is it the other way? Especially now that we’re here, in the last several years, it’s sounding a lot more like the Dixiecrats 50 years ago than Republicans. I think they very greatly underestimated the power of the dark side. FP: What statement did you want to make with an album title like American Band? PH: We hear people say, “They speak for us.” And often, people are saying really stupid things. I just shudder to think what this election is looking like to people in Europe. It’s been a couple of years, but during the Bush years, we’d go tour Europe. You know, we would hear all sorts of people who were just assuming that, as Americans, we were all somehow in support of what Bush was doing during the occupation of Iraq and various other ridiculous things that were happening. And so it was a “we have a voice, too” sort of statement. Also, this record is about America right now, at this moment in time. I’ve always said that we want our records to be more timeless than timely. You can listen to an ’80s record and it feels like a product of its time. I always wanted our records to avoid that. In this case, we wanted this to be a reflection of a moment in time. When I wrote some of these songs, like “What It Means,” I really wanted there to be no reason to put them on there. Now, it may be more timely than when I wrote it two years ago. And I’m not happy about that. I’d just as soon the flag not be at half-mast all of the damn time. But, in the last year, while we were making this record, it seemed like every time I saw a flag it was at halfmast. FP: Is touring during an election cycle a different experience? MC: The only specific time I remember was 2008. I remember we were out with The Hold Steady when Barack Obama was elected the first time. I didn’t really notice anything different about the touring itself there. I remember that being a significant moment where I was. This fall might be different. Things have really changed [laughs]. f American Band is out Sept. 30 via ATO Records.

By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com hen Misty Alfonso and her company Duck Cloud Productions began work on the Players of the Lyre album and documentary project, she never expected it would be in memory of her best friend, Shannon Lay. “That was a place my mind wouldn’t even goâ€? says Alfonso. “This benefit was always going to be dedicated to her, but‌ my prayer was that she would just be able to hear the album, go to the concert, see the documentary, that she would see all the hard work we put in.â€? Alfonso and Lay met when they were both just 10 years old and living in Oconee County. “I was a really shy kid [who] didn’t talk much. Shannon was the complete opposite,â€? says Alfonso. “She made sure nobody ever messed with me.â€? For decades, Misty and Shannon’s friendship remained strong. Both women battled cancer at different points in their lives. “Shannon had lost her mother to cancer,â€? says

The artists really came to love her, and they felt it when she passed away. I feel as if they stepped it up a notch to really honor her memory.â€? Though it comes under tragic circumstances, Alfonso is proud of how everything turned out. “I have a few favorite tracks. One that’s really eclectic and unpredictable is the collaboration between Seth Hendershot and Blacknerdninja—that may be the most unique track out of the bunch. I also really like ‘Love Will Get Me Through’ by Elite tha Showstoppa and Justin Granados. It’s so upbeat and positive‌ I don’t think any song on the album uses the word ‘cancer’ at all, which is amazing.â€?

Alfonso. “So the disease was on our radar even back when we were young‌ Shannon’s first rodeo with cancer was not even 20 years ago—she had breast cancer and had to get a double mastectomy. She went into remission, though she did develop autoimmune disease as a result of the battle.â€? Last Christmas, Lay received horrible news. “Shannon had a pain in her side [that] got to the point where it was unbearable, so she went to go see a couple of doctors to get it checked out,â€? says Alfonso. Lay was diagnosed with lymphoma. As soon as Lay received her diagnosis, Duck Cloud‚ which specializes in bringing musical artists together for different charitable causes, began working on its next project. “I knew I wanted to do something collaboration-based,â€? says Alfonso. “I have friends who are rappers; I have friends who play jazz; I have friends who are multi-instrumentalists. It was my dream to mix up a bunch of local artists together on an album so we could really have something eclectic and new for the scene.â€? From there, Alfonso outlined plans for an album, a documentary and a celebratory concert. For the album, 20 different local artists were paired together to write 10 songs, with only two rules: The collaborators had to have never worked together before, and their songs had to be about cancer. Though she would go into remission from her lymphoma, Lay developed stomach cancer earlier this year and

November. It covers the subject of music therapy for cancer patients, as well as the making of the album. According to Alfonso, it’s “an ambitious attempt to prove that music can be physiologically healing� inspired by an incident where she watched a live harpist play to patients on the chemo floor at Emory hospital in Atlanta. Saturday’s benefit concert for the American Cancer Society features 15 of the artists on the compilation, including Caroline Aiken, Conner Tribble, Cortez Garza and others. “I have no idea what to expect out of the show,� says Alfonso with a laugh. “The reason I say that is because, outside of AthFest, not much like this has ever been attempted before.� While she is heartbroken that Lay passed away before this project was completed, Alfonso knows her work was not in vain. “I still feel Shannon is here with us in many ways, and I think she does see all the work we’ve put in. It’s just from a different place than we thought she’d be.� f

Tear It Down Destroyer and the Myth of the Singer-Songwriter By Marshall Yarbrough music@flagpole.com

I

t’s an enduring image: a songwriter alone onstage with a guitar. It evokes a kind of Platonic ideal, an opportunity to get at the pure root of a song, stripped of all accompaniment. At his 1966 concert in Manchester, England, Bob Dylan embodied the image with an opening solo set, only to famously tear it to shreds with the full-band electric set that followed. Closer to home, dedicated Neutral Milk Hotel fans will know Jeff Mangum’s Live at Jittery Joe’s, a recording of a 1996 solo show in Athens. Such performances captivate not only because of their intimacy, but also because they seem to provide a glimpse of the essential—song and songwriter in their purest form. Of course, essentiality is a complicated notion. Witness Dan Bejar of Destroyer. Bejar’s past two records, 2011’s Kaputt and last year’s Poison Season, saw him moving away from the guitar-driven rock aesthetic that characterized most of Destroyer’s catalog. Yet this week Bejar comes to Athens as part of a fall solo tour—just him and his guitar. What the shows offer is less a chance to see Bejar at his most elemental than to catch one aspect of a nuanced figure. Bejar tells Flagpole about his past few records and his reasons for turning away

from the guitar at the start of the decade. “I found myself… just by muscle memory going to the same chords and same chord structures, and not being technically advanced enough to really force myself out of any of that, so I figured the easiest thing to do was just to throw down that particular instrument and not touch it.” Bejar looked to other instruments for inspiration. “In the case of Kaputt, I was

trying to keep chord structures as simple and ambient as possible,” he explains, even “holding down note clusters… on MIDI synthesizers.” Prior to Poison Season, Bejar turned to the piano to try and capture the feel of the Great American Songbook. “There’s something about those that sound written on a piano to me,” he says. In the past few months, Bejar has started writing songs on the guitar again,

saying, “They sound different to me than the songs I’ve written in the last few years.” The fall tour will be a first for him, as he tries out new songs in front of audiences before recording them or playing them with a band. “I have heard of people going out and testing songs in front of audiences,” he says. “I can’t imagine exactly how that works, but it seems like maybe a cool thing to do. I kinda figure some time at 3 a.m. by myself in a hotel in Fargo or Spokane or Oxford, MS might gather me some valuable insight.” The plan is to go into the studio immediately after the tour ends, but there’s no telling if the songs that end up on tape will be recognizable to the audiences that heard them first. “I never know what happens to a song until a band gets a hold of it,” Bejar says, “or until we go into the studio and mangle it, you know?” Lately, Bejar has shown even more willingness to let a song change shape. Poison Season, for example, features multiple versions of the song “Times Square.” Audiences who see Bejar this fall will have the opportunity to witness an early stage in that process—not the pure representation of an ideal, but its dynamic rejection. Says Bejar, “There’s nothing I like more than to totally throw out an idea I thought was etched in stone.” f

PAIR O’ DICE CITY: Underground venue Joker Joker Gallery has been steadily hosting shows for the past several months. This week, an explosion of live tracks recorded at the space hit the web. As of this writing, there are 67 pieces available for listening at jokerjokergallery.bandcamp. com. Some are experimental improvisations credited to Joker Joker Gallery itself, and others are live recordings by Harry Carey, Forsaken Profit$, Rotten Stitches, Stay the Sea, Tyler Key, Smokedog, Rabies Scythe Fight, Donny Knottsville, Flight Mode USA and many more. Take some time and dig in. SECTION 8: Athens rapper Project Paul (aka Soggy P, Dusted Timberlake, Digital WiFi and Murk Jacobs) just released a new seven-song album named Swamp House. It took a few listens to totally sink in for me, but Paul’s got a solid, somewhat laid-back vocal flow that’s alternately dopey-’n’downtrodden and spookily scary, like he’s sneaking up behind you while telling jokes the whole time. Thankfully, the beats on this aren’t more of the same super-thin trap tropes so many regional rappers are intent on dry-milking. Instead, Paul has a fine stable of melodically musical tunes

couple of weeks ago, and they all troll the trough of Germs/Sonic Youth-inspired trash-rock, falling just outside the boundaries of straight-up pigfuck-rock as characterized by Pussy Galore, et al. Although the music features pretty standard rock instrumentation (guitars, bass, drums), it’s all buried so low in the mix that, at times, it might as well be garage-rock melodies on top of radio static. All of which is to say, it’s five minutes of listening time you’ll never get back, but who cares? You already spent two minutes reading about it, so it’s not like you don’t have it to spare. Go grab a listen at debbiedahmer.bandcamp.com, and dig whatever info you can find from facebook. com/debbiedahmer666.

Greek Life and a Welcome Remake Plus, Small-Screen Melodrama and a Forgettable Family Flick By Drew Wheeler movies@flagpole.com GOAT (R) Writer-director Andrew Neel tackles Greek life with this adaptation of Brad Land’s memoir, scripted by David Gordon Green, among others. Brad Land (Ben Schnetzer, recently seen in Snowden) is recovering from a brutal beating that took place months before college. During Brad’s first semester, he pledges the fraternity of his brother, Brett (Nick Jonas), and undergoes the hazing one reads about in newspaper articles. Physical and mental abuse abound, but the brothers never let it go too far. They do not want to poke the university administration bear. But tragedy strikes nonetheless, and everyone is left seeking answers and someone to blame. Much like the first half of Requiem for a Dream captured the appeal of drug use before rapidly descending into the hellish pits of addiction, Goat portrays the glory of fraternity life—the parties, the alcohol, the sex—that encourages so many young

actors like D’Onofrio, who gets crazier and crazier. This version of the Wild West is cleaner than most, with better teeth and prettier people, and it makes me hunger for a Young Guns remake like never before. THE HOLLARS (PG-13) John Krasinski (Jim from “The Office”) makes his directorial debut with what feels like a cartoonish version of This Is Where I Leave You; others may see something Garden State-ish. Frustrated artist John Hollar (Krasinski) returns home after his mother, Sally (Margo Martindale), is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Already frightened by the prospect of a child with his pregnant girlfriend, Rebecca (Anna Kendricks), John must negotiate his emotional, nearly bankrupt father, Don (Richard Jenkins) and his man-child of an older brother, Ron (Sharlto Copley), as well as his high school sweetheart (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her

men to succumb to the horrors of hazing. Unfortunately, the film, like the brothers, never goes far enough. What happens to Brad and his brothers is demeaning and ugly, but it stops short of dangerous and disturbing. The beating frame also detracts from the main plot. Still, the film provokes thought and conversation about a topic society knows about but often ignores. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (PG-13) A pop western from Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, the latest take on Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai recasts John Sturges’ 1960 classic with a modern cast led by old hand Denzel Washington, hot newcomer Chris Pratt and wily fox Ethan Hawke. When a frontier town is threatened by robber baron Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard, as bad as he has ever been), warrant-officer-cum-gunfighter Sam Chisholm (Washington) recruits incorrigible gambler Josh Faraday (Pratt), rebel sharpshooter Goodnight Robicheaux (Hawke), his partner Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee), Mexican outlaw Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), Indian hunter Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio) and warrior Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier) to protect the town, represented by a young widow, Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett). Despite being a hair long, the new Magnificent Seven provides an old-fashioned blockbuster experience. What the movie lacks in expansiveness, it pays back in moments of amusement thanks to stellar

husband (Charlie Day), a former classmate of John’s who is one of his mother’s nurses. The cast excels, despite the buffoonery asked of them by Jim Strouse’s script. Krasinski deftly mixes small-screen melodrama with comedy, but it is hard to get a read on his direction due to the support of a cast good enough to make Uwe Boll look like a professional. This film should play better on the smallest TV set in your home. STORKS (PG) Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors director Nicholas Stoller helms the latest computer-animated family film from Warner Bros. Andy Samberg voices Junior, a delivery stork for Amazon proxy Cornerstore. In this world, storks no longer deliver babies; they deliver packages. Junior hopes to take over when his current boss, Hunter (v. Kelsey Grammer), gets promoted. But before his promotion, Junior must fire the last baby that was supposed to be delivered—an orphan named Tulip (v. Katie Crown), who has grown up at Cornerstore. Soon, Junior and Tulip must team up to deliver a new baby before Hunter and his minions can stop them. The plot is sillier than most animated features, but it is cute and harmless. The Key and Peele wolves deliver the biggest laughs. A quiet fight that takes place late in the movie is another humorous highlight. Storks is a forgettable family movie that should entertain the kiddos for an hour and a half. f

Uncanny Valley

MUSIC | Thu, Sep 29

Cellar Theatre · 8 p.m. (Tue–Fri), 2:30 p.m. (Sun) · $12–16 Like many of its science fiction predecessors, Thomas Gibbon’s play addresses the philosophical and ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence. Starring two MFA acting students, the play centers around the relationship between neuroscientist Claire, played by Katherine Butcher, and humanoid robot Julian, played by Larry Cox Jr. As Julian becomes increasingly human-like, the two must face the uncomfortable divide between creator and creation. The University Theatre play is directed by David Saltz, whose research has focused on robotic theater, which first appeared in 1921 with Karel Capek’s Rossum’s Universal Robots. [Jessica Smith]

Strung Like a Horse

The Struts

ART | Thu, Sep 29

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $15 On first listen, the swaggering arena rock of UK-based foursome The Struts may remind listeners of Queen; it’s true that singer Luke Spiller does sound an awful lot like Freddie Mercury. But the group’s original music, most of which doesn’t overtly ape Queen’s sound, helps the band maintain its own identity. On record, The Struts’ aesthetic comes through loud and clear, and their songs are revealed to have more in common with groups like Oasis or Supergrass: anthemic, singalong rockers in the best British tradition. In the end, The Struts manage to have it both ways, with original songs that deliver the carefree exuberance of vintage arena rock, but updated for modern audiences. [Bill Kopp]

COMEDY: Rory Scovel (Caledonia Lounge) Rory Scovel appears in the upcoming movies The House and The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter. His stand-up has been featured on Comedy Central.

Simon Joyner

White Tiger Gourmet · 8 p.m. · $5 With his latest album, Grass, Branch & Bone, Omaha, NE songwriter Simon Joyner summons stories via the derelict Midwestern landscape and the characters he finds there. Since 1991, Joyner has been a crucial figure in Midwestern underground music, reaching beyond the tropes of indie rock and acoustic music to arrive at his austere songs for the damned. Thursday’s show is a one-off, not part of an tour, akin to the intimate living room shows Joyner often plays in people’s houses across the county. Expect to hear songs from throughout his career, along with a handful of newer numbers he’s working on for an album he plans to start recording within the next six months. [Chad Radford]

Strung Like a Horse

Lumpkin Street Station · 9 p.m. Remember the late ’90s, when indie rock was in crisis and swing music (swing music!) became a thing? Relive those heady days of existential angst and super-awkward triple-steps—or discover your inner jitterbug for the very first time—with the fun-loving gypsy jazz of Strung Like a Horse, contemporary Chattanooga, TN’s answer to the Squirrel Nut Zippers and Django Reinhart. Touring on the back of its 2015 album, Free, the group is bound to infect your feet with tunes like “Storm of You” and “Trailer Park Astronaut.” Opening act Dirty Bird and the Flu adds its psych-inflected soul sounds to the bill, completing a night of high-energy roots revival.

My BF’s Secret, Shocking Porn Stash Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Dear Bonita, My sweet, handsome, excellent boyfriend and I don’t live together right now, but we spend lots of time at each other’s places—I’ll go to his house and hang out until he gets off work, stuff like that. I was over there the other day to get something, and his laptop was open. Usually he locks it, but the screen was on and a folder was open. I couldn’t help myself, and I saw something I can’t ignore. I did a little snooping and found his porn collection. No big deal—we all have one, right? But some of the stuff in there was too off-color for me to forget about. Nothing illegal, just very, VERY extreme, and definitely not my taste. He’s never showed interest in any of those things during our sexy times, so I’m honestly blown away

the run of your home while you’re not there. Snooping is a blatant violation of that, and sleeping with a person doesn’t give you the right to go rooting around his private spaces. Mind your own business, Lady. Secondly, don’t confront him if you intend to ask “what the hell he likes about that stuff.” You can have questions about his interests and want to know what draws him to them, but language like that can be alienating and hurtful. I’m guessing you found something along the lines of bodily functions or adult baby fetishism, seeing as how it’s legal but you’re horrified. Sex acts like that are uncommon, yes, but perfectly fine for consenting adults to enjoy, and I worry about you shaming this guy just for liking some-

to find that kind of “adult entertainment” in his possession. I don’t wanna say exactly what it was for fear of being found out, but believe me when I say it’s nothing you’d find on RedTube or any “normal” adult site. I can’t stop thinking about it, and I’m lucky he’s out of town right now, because otherwise I’d definitely ask him what the hell he likes about that stuff. Plus, now I’m scared that he’ll eventually wanna try something crazy in bed with me. How should I address this with him? I’m totally shocked and grossed out. Sincerely, A Lady in the Streets AND the Sheets Hey Lady, I think it’s a bad idea to confront him about this situation for a couple of reasons. First off, it’s not like he left his copy of Bumpaddle on the coffee table or anything. You went into his personal computer and purposely sought out stuff you know he doesn’t want you to see. I think he’d immediately want to know why you invaded his privacy, and he’d be right to be more concerned about that than with your opinion on his, ahem, taste in film. Relationships are about trust, and you have to trust someone a lot to let them have

thing you don’t. People with strange and rare fetishes get a bad rap amongst the lights-off/missionary crowd, and your boyfriend probably knows that— which is why he’s never shown you his porn collection. You can ask him about this interest when he decides to bring it up. If you confront him, the conversation will be about your nosy ass, not his fetish. Honestly, I don’t think he owes you an explanation for any of his interests, sexual ones included (unless they’re illegal, of course). We all have things that titillate us, and most people with a weird fetish don’t ever manage to find someone who wants to share in that. Your guy hasn’t, so he’s watching videos and enjoying it safely and privately. No big deal. What’s bothering you is that he’s into something you’d never go near, and you’re gonna have to learn to accept that people won’t always share your interests. Don’t be so quick to respond with disgust. Above all, do not go snooping around your lover’s home. Show him the same respect you expect from him. f Need advice?
