Billy Morris Strikes Again Plus, Potential Changes at Leisure Services and More Local News

The staff—of which I was a member from 2005 until 2012, when I decided I ain’t gonna work on Billy’s farm no more—had its overtime taken away and salaries cut, to the point where at least one reporter had to declare bankruptcy.

The printing press and copy desk have been outsourced to Augusta, and soon the Athens paper will be printed in Columbia, SC, three hours away. After several rounds of buyouts, layoffs and frozen positions, an editorial staff that once numbered more than 30 journalists has shrunk to nine. Whole beats, including music and food, are largely ignored. Media outlets everywhere, especially regional and local ones, have endured two recessions in 15 years, shrinking print advertising revenue and competition from Facebook and Google, which are eating up 99 percent of online ad growth, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article.

through its own bankruptcy in 2013, and is now owned by a holding company, New Media Investment Group. Investors have no interest in journalism or Athens as a community, and only care about the bottom line. GateHouse also has its own history of gutting its papers. Don’t expect much investment in the product.

If they gave a crap, the Morrises would have sold the ABH to locals who might have rebuilt it as a public service. Perhaps the best-case scenario now is that, under a company that owns more than 500 publications, the beancounters won’t pay too much attention, leaving local journalists to their own devices. Other than the editorial page, of course.

Will Commissioners Break Up Leisure Services?

With more than 80 employees and a wide range of responsibilities, from keeping up parks to preserving green space to running arts programs, the Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department probably touches more citizens’ lives than any other part of local government. Its various missions can sometimes come into conflict with each other, and competing interests (youth sports leagues, hikers, environmental advocates, artists, eastsiders, westsiders) often feel that their particular area is given short shrift. An internal reorganization six years ago that involved reassigning the natural resources administrator and moving trails and greenways to the parks division exacerbated the problem, and led to talk among commissioners about whether to split up the department.

A recent operation audit doesn’t answer that question, instead recommending about 30 bureaucratic changes, most of which the average person probably would never notice, like shifting grass-cutting to another department, so I won’t bore you with them. The commission will continue to discuss the idea nonetheless.

“If we want a separate division or department for natural resources, we need to have that discussion first,” Commissioner Andy Herod said at a work session last week. No consensus emerged, but county staffers have been discussing the idea among themselves as well, interim Leisure Services Director Kent Kilpatrick told commissioners. Unlike the last reorganization, implemented unilaterally by former director Pam Reidy and former manager Alan Reddish, any changes will pass through the Mayor and Commission this time.

In the meantime, the newly created Office of Sustainability, made up of Environmental Coordinator Andrew Saunders and former Leisure Services administrator Mike Wharton, should help, county Manager Blaine

Williams said. That office will oversee the preservation of county-owned green space at Beech Haven and off Tallassee Road, at least until it’s ready for programming, when it will be turned over to Leisure Services, he said.

Both Stephanie Maddox, head of the Operational Analysis Office, and Commissioner Melissa Link said they were disappointed that the audit didn’t pay much attention to the arts, but Maddox said she went back and added to what little work the outside consultant who helped with the report did.

Another issue that remains unresolved is fees for Leisure Services programs. Reidy hired a consultant to come up with a new pricing structure in 2015, but left soon after, and it’s remained on hold ever since. Kilpatrick said he plans to bring that back before the commission in August or September.

Comp Plan Put on Hold With the countywide master-planning process Envision Athens unresolved, ACC planners can’t move forward with a state-mandated update to the county’s comprehensive plan, which will guide development for the next 10 years.

“It’s been like trying to fly a plane that you’re not done building yet,” Planning Director Brad Griffin told commissioners at the work session. “The level of frustration is growing,” so the comp plan is being put on hold until September, when Envision Athens wraps up, and its public input and recommendations can be folded in. With the comp plan due to be turned in to the state next July, that puts the planning department on a tight schedule, Griffin said.

Planners are revamping the public input process, too.

Some citizens have expressed frustration that the time for public input was quietly moved from the planning commission’s 7 p.m. first-Thursday meetings to 6 p.m. “We tried that,” Griffin said. “I didn’t like the way it worked.

We’re probably going to abandon that.” There will be formal opportunities for public input later, he said, but for now, citizens can drop by the planning department office on Dougherty Street any time during working hours.

Planners will also be going out into the community.

“We’re going to try to get into the churches, maybe the mall, [and] downtown to try to disseminate the information and get comments,” Griffin said.

Mark Martin Announces District 2 Candidacy Hilsman Middle School math teacher Mark Martin is the first candidate to step up to run for the Commission District 2 seat Harry Sims is leaving to run for mayor next year.

One young teacher could replace another. Martin is 37—just a little older than Sims, then a teacher at Barrow Elementary, was when he was first elected to the Athens City Council in 1988.

They share an occupation, and Martin grew up in District 2 (Nellie B, specifically; he now lives nearby on Vine Street). He doesn’t have any particular ties to Sims, though. The longtime commissioner has been helpful on some issues, but isn’t very responsive to constituents, he said in an interview Saturday. As an educator, Martin said his top priority will be to Mark Martin inform the community. The unified government needs to do a better job of communicating with the Clarke County School District, too, he said.

“We have to face front,” he said. “We have to call meetings. We have to say, ‘This is where we’re going.’”

Another focus, Martin said, will be economic development, especially financial literacy and bringing businesses to District 2. He said he’s concerned about rising property values taxing people out of their homes, but the flipside is that gentrification draws businesses. “I’m all for having business in the area,” he said.

Martin is a political newcomer, but his older brother Grady, a veteran Democratic activist, is running his campaign. f

Watching the 1984 Eclipse on TV A Tale of Two Staceys Observer Television Covered Whatever its Wires Could Reach

Race Could Rip Apart Georgia Democrats

By Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com

We advertised it and even sold a few ads.

The local elementary schools thought it was a great idea that saved them from having all those kids outside looking directly at the sun.

We even went out in front of the office and interviewed passersby about their reactions to the event.

Some were hilarious but, alas, are lost to “Here they come, and there they go—trust me.” the ether.

Nevertheless, Observer TV announced The Times described the scene in Atlanta thus: “The temperature dropped six degrees, the first locally televised running of the Twilight Criterium, and we promoted it flowers closed their petals, dogs howled, heavily. We sold ads to sponsor the broadpigeons tucked their heads under their cast, and we lined up our coverage.

Democratic voters have their choice of two Staceys in next year’s primary for governor: Rep. Stacey Abrams of Atlanta or Rep. Stacey Evans of Smyrna.

Both contenders are attorneys and two of the most intelligent members of the General Assembly. On major issues, they’ve taken similar progressive stands. While there have been some minor differences here and there, both have accomplishments in the legislature they can take pride in.

There is one major point of distinction between the two candidates: Abrams is black, and Evans is white.

They have different visions of where they think the Democratic Party should be going.

Abrams wants to energize black voters who may not have previously been engaged in the political process. Evans wants to try to reconnect with working-class whites.

You can make a decent argument for both approaches. But the events of last weekend show that there may be a racial divide coming that rips the party in two.

The occasion was Netroots Nation, a yearly gathering of 3,000 or so progressive activists that was held in Atlanta this year. Abrams gave a rousing speech to the activists on the convention’s first day and received a standing ovation from the crowd.

When Evans spoke on Saturday, however, it was a much different story.

It was nearly impossible for Evans to get through her 10-minute speech because proAbrams protesters were chanting loudly and shouting her down. The protesters turned their back on her as they waved signs reading “Trust Black Women” and “Evans = DeVos,” a reference to Donald Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos. The racial animosity displayed towards the white candidate could spell big trouble for Democrats. If the activities at the

Netroots Nation conference are any indication, this is a primary election that could get very ugly before it’s all over. Abrams could win the primary by energizing black voters, but in the process turns off white voters who don’t bother to come out and support her in the general election.

Similarly, if Evans were to win a bitterly contested primary race over Abrams, that could result in demoralized black voters staying at home during the general election.

We’ve seen this kind of division tear apart the Democratic Party before. Back in 2006, the party’s two major candidates for governor were Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor and Secretary of State Cathy Cox (both white).

They were the party’s brightest stars at that point in time.

Taylor trailed Cox in the polls during the early months of a primary race that degenerated into name-calling and mudslinging in the final weeks. It became a political bloodbath between two candidates who clearly had a deep personal dislike for each other. Cox and Taylor both aired hardhitting commercials that accused each other of lying and double-dealing. Taylor’s campaign, for good measure, also filed two civil lawsuits against Cox and her aides.

Taylor eventually prevailed in the slashand-burn primary, but it was an empty victory. The nastiness of that campaign turned off quite a few Cox supporters who either sat out the general election or voted for the Republican incumbent, Sonny Perdue. In November, Taylor drew barely 38 percent of the vote in a crushing loss to Perdue. It was the worst showing ever by a Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia.

Is the Democratic Party headed for a similar debacle because of the upcoming battle between the two Staceys? Right now, the signs seem to be pointing that way. f

America Shatters Along With Racists’ Homemade Shields

By Baynard Woods democracyincrisiscolumn@gmail.com fascist activists who packed the streets were predominantly white, but among them were far more women and people of color. Otherwise the two opposing armies seemed to be of roughly equal size. The fights were swift, chaotic and brutal.

The two sides launched bottles and tear gas canisters back and forth as state troopers stood and watched, slackjawed. At one point, as a few bottles whizzed by him in quick succession, a trooper perked up enough to pull out his phone and record some of the mayhem.

When the police declared the assembly illegal before it even began and told everyone to leave, it forced these groups together. Right-wing militia types wielding assault rifles and wearing MAGA patches on paramilitary uniforms roamed through the crowd.

Then, as the various groups became separated, it seemed like the rumble had largely ended. Steppe and Knight both seemed to think that it was the end of the day.

The racists, who had not been able to hold their rally, were trying to regroup at another park a little further from downtown. Eventually, as a state of emergency was declared, they decided to leave—some of them even suggested hiding in the woods.

Now, after hours of bloody battle during which they remained largely passive, riot police were which police say was driven by alt-right member James Alex Fields, sped down the street and plowed through the march breaking things up, pushing Steppe back, inching forward and into other cars. Fields then threw the weaponized car behind their shields. Knight walked alongside with a sign into reverse, fleeing from the scene of terror. reading, “Make C-Ville Great Again.”

Black Hole Sun What’s a Solar Eclipse, and Where and When to Watch It

By Chris Hassiotis news@flagpole.com

S

ometimes it can be easy to get caught up in our dayto-day routines. After all, who could get anything done while constantly thinking about our minuscule place in the cosmos? It’s tough enough to remember where we put our keys, let alone that we live on a twirling ball inside a spinning disc inside a swirling cloud. But then things come along that lift the veil of everyday life and remind us that, hey, space is the place. Things like the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse.

What’s an eclipse?

An eclipse occurs when our sun, moon and home planet are in alignment. The moon moves between Earth and the sun during the daytime, casting a shadow on the face of the planet. The moon can cover part of the sun or the whole thing.

Why is this one a big deal?

This is the first time the path of totality (where the sun’s light is completely blocked) will pass across the entire continental United States since 1918. People in Oregon will experience an eclipsed sun rising above the ocean. Here in the Southeast, we’ll have an afternoon delight. Georgians in particular are excited because the path of totality will cross the northeastern part of the state, and spots not too far from Athens—like Lake Hartwell and Clemson, SC, among others—will experience a total solar eclipse.

When does this happen?

Monday, Aug. 21. Times vary depending on where you happen to be; if you’re here in Athens, the eclipse will peak around 2:37 p.m. Things will start to get dark about an hour before that, as the moon moves in front of the sun, and last for about an hour after that.

Will I be able to look at the eclipse?

If you’re in Athens, the only way it’s safe to look at a partial solar eclipse—remember, Athens is not in the path of totality, and the sun will only be about 99 percent covered—is with ISO-approved protective eyewear. (Beware of sketchy products on the internet that may or may not be ISO-approved, even if they claim to be. The American Astronomical Society has a list of reputable vendors.)

Do not look at the eclipse without protection. Even then,

you should look away from the sun regularly, as the rays of the sun can heat the liquid inside your eye even with protection.

If you make the brief trip to the path of totality, about 45 minutes (traffic permitting) north or east of Athens, you’ll still need protective eyewear to look at the sun when it’s partially covered. However, during the two-and-a-half minutes or so of totality, when the moon completely blocks the sun, you’ll be able to stare directly at the eclipsed sun.

What will things look like?

“It’ll be like a deep twilight” here in Athens, says UGA geography professor and meteorologist John Knox. If you travel to the path of totality, think of an even weirder twilight. And only in the path of totality (free band name, btw) will you be able to see phenomena like the diamond ring (another band name)—the eerie moment when the last sun rays peek from behind the moon—or Baily’s beads (another band name), which is the gorgeous twinkling of light that intermittently occurs around the border of the moon during totality, made even more mind-blowing when you know that it’s caused by light making its way past craters and mountains on the surface of the moon.

What if it’s cloudy or raining?

That’ll put a damper on things, sure. If there’s complete cloud cover, the observable effects of the phenomenon here on the surface of the planet will be diminished. If you’re planning to travel to the path of totality, check the forecast a day or two beforehand. And at worst, take it as a good reminder that there’s much in life beyond our control.

Do I have to know a lot about science or astronomy?

Scientists tout the unifying force of a solar eclipse. “For us to come together in the country, this is a really amazing

Eclipse Events It’s not during the eclipse per se, but the Athens-Clarke County Library will host Family Eclipse Day Saturday, Aug. 19 from 10 a.m.–2 p.m., featuring crafts, storytelling and a screening of Ladyhawke, a 1985 Richard Donner fantasy film starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer in which a solar eclipse is a key plot point.

The largest Aug. 21 gathering in Athens will no doubt be at UGA, where Sanford Stadium will be opened up to eclipse-watchers from 1–4 p.m. Scientists from the schools of geography, crop and soil sciences and physics and astronomy will host a massive event featuring eclipse-related music, trivia, free giveaways, autographed items, and showing the total eclipse from across the country on screens. They’ll be passing out 10,000 pairs of ISO-rated safety glasses.

“This has been a dream of mine for a long time,” Knox says. “I’ve walked past Sanford Stadium for 15 years as a faculty member. It’s such a focal point for the college community, and to put on a science-related event there is a dream.”

Clarke County public schools will release 45 minutes late so that students can watch

chance to just open the public’s eyes to wonder, and get people to think about the most amazing natural phenomenon that can happen on the surface of the Earth,” said Angela DesJardin, the principal investigator of the Eclipse Ballooning Project and director of the Montana Space Grant Consortium, during a NASA press conference in June. “It gets people to wonder and think about what’s going on in the cosmos and come together in that very human way.”

Astrophysicist Angela Speck, a co-chair of the American Astronomical Society’s national solar eclipse task force, draws an analogy that folks in Athens should connect with.

“I love encouraging people to be interested in pursuing science,” she said during the NASA conference. “One of the things that has happened in recent years is that scientists are seen as weirdos, and that we’re not normal, and that the public in general is not a fan of science. So I’d like to generate science fans. I like football, and I’m 5 feet 3 inches and pretty petite. I’m never going to play football, be it professional or amateur, but I appreciate the game and can be a fan. So I hope the event draws people from across the country to love science, even if it’s not something they practice.”

But this is going to happen again, right?

Well, sure. Earth can experience up to five solar eclipses a year. There will be total solar eclipses passing near Athens in the future, but not this close, and not for a while. The next one to hit Georgia will just barely clip the southwestern corner of the state on Aug. 12, 2047. And on March 30, 2052, a total eclipse will darken Georgia’s coast, passing directly over Savannah; book your Tybee Island beach house now, if you like. (Though with rising sea levels, who knows what’ll happen between now and then.) Those who manage to still be alive May 11, 2078 are in real luck.

That’s when a total solar eclipse will pass directly over both Atlanta and Athens.

Oh. So, like… this is pretty much it? I should go?

Unless you can wait 61 years, or can travel to other parts of the country or world, yep. If you want to experience totality, you should make the hour-ish drive. Things will be—quite literally—astronomically spectacular.

But don’t be bummed if you’re in Athens for the event, either. UGA professor Knox isn’t, and he’s never experienced a total eclipse. “I’m more interested in seeing how the event affects my community and where I am,” he says. After all, you’ll see Athens—quite literally—in a new light. f

the eclipse. UGA has provided 17,000 pairs of glasses to local schools.

For those who want a beer while their mind is blown, Southern Brewing Co. has a 15-acre lawn and plenty of open sky. Bring blankets and chairs. Dogs and kids are welcome. Terrapin Beer Co. also has a big lawn away from the city lights, and its Blackout Bash will feature beer infused with Moon Pies and eclipse-themed music.

Other eclipse-watching spots include Athens City Hall, the Madison County Library, the Bogart Library and the State Botanical Garden. See the Calendar on p. 24 for more.

Further afield, Rabun County, in the North Georgia mountains, is hosting several parties across the county, including an Elvis impersonator at the Tiger Drive-In movie theater, a square dance and fish fry at Andy’s Trout Farm, a wine tasting at Stonewall Creek Vineyards and bluegrass at Tallulah Falls. For more information, visit explorerabun.com/solar-eclipse.

At the center of the path of totality is Southern Wesleyan University in Pickens County, SC, which will enjoy a full 2 minutes 37 seconds of totality. Gates at its track and field complex open at noon, and there will be food vendors, live entertainment, children’s activities and a presentation by 31-year NASA veteran Mike Evans.

Despite these challenges, Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farming community has grown steadily over the past years, thanks in part to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetite for locally grown foods. Of course, farmers markets play an essential role in introducing farmers like Farfour and Dodd to new customers, but CSAs can offer additional support to local farms.

Selling at markets can be risky, says Collective Harvest CSA manager Rachel Waldron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a constant guessing game of what the shoppers will want each week, what the other farmers at the market have to offer and how successful the farmer is at drawing customers to their market stand,â&#x20AC;? she says.

I spoke with several lawyers about this, downtown scene. As it is, the lack of green and the bottom line is that the practice is space and general places for kids to run not discriminatory. The issue of making around makes downtown a less-than-ideal a married couple rent two bedrooms is destination for parents. The sidewalks are questionableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and someone might argue difficult to navigate if you have a stroller, and the stores (bars) arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily kidfriendly.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just if you want to visit downtown. What if you want to live there?

Apartment complexes that cater to college students still have to follow the same rules that all landlords must follow. The federal Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination when it comes to renting an apartment based on things such as race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability or familial status.

The Process of Painting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spotlightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Reveals the Practices of Three Artists

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Currently on view at the Gallery@Hotel Indigo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spotlight 2017â&#x20AC;? offers a focused glimpse into bodies of work by three artists. The second installment of the exhibition series features paintings by Erin McIntosh, Paul Collins and Christina Foard, each of whom has a creative practice driven by a very distinctive process.

McIntoshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colorful paintings combine geometric structures and organic forms through a largely improvisational process. As she builds each painting layer by layer, she emphasizes harmonious color combinations and fluid lines to create biomorphic forms. Often keeping reference images of previous paintings in her peripheral vision while working, her art resembles imaginative close-up views of microscopic worlds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am fascinated by microscopic imagery and have had this interest since childhood. These images are beautiful, and there is always a sense of mystery with what exactly is being seen,â&#x20AC;? says McIntosh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I experience a disconnect between what things look like at a microscopic scale and what can be seen with only our eyes unaided by a magnifying device. It is amazing to think that we are all made of the same material and underlying structures. This imagery informs my work; however, I am most likely to pull from memory or imaginatively respond to scientific imagery and concepts.â&#x20AC;?

Christina Foard McIntosh received both a BFA and MFA from UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lamar Dodd School of Art, and is currently an assistant professor at the University of North Georgia. In the past, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also taught for UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s study abroad program in Cortona, Italy, as well as for public art programs in Atlanta. She finds that her studio practice and teaching career frequently build on each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I am painting, I often find myself asking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How can I incorporate this into my class?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or realizing, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is something I need to bring up in class this week,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says McIntosh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always get ideas for working with students

from firsthand accounts in the studio doing my own creative work. Conversely, teaching and attempting to verbalize different aspects of creating makes me more aware of what is happening in my own studio practice. There are many â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moments. Each informs the other.â&#x20AC;?

Nashville-based artist and educator Collins takes a diarylike approach to drawing, painting and sculpting his way through life. Daily experiences, occasionally reinterpreted through dreams or daydreams, serve as a launching pad for artwork that offers humorous and poignant observations examining the world around him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I draw a lot. I always have a few sketchbooks going, and things start there,â&#x20AC;? says Collins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work from images that I see out the window or that stick in my head from the day at work. Some get redrawn and redrawn again, while others

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to get that image flow going, so then I can float above and see without too much worry which images come to the top.â&#x20AC;?

One of his large watercolor-and-ink illustrations on paper, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carved Bear Mailbox,â&#x20AC;? depicts a tree trunk whittled into a decorative post that he spotted during a trip to Niagara Falls. For the artist, the image embodies elements of things he both loves and loathes; his personal admiration for trees is demonstrated as a recurring theme throughout his work, yet societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disregard for their well-being often saddens him. Still, he prefers to keep a positive outlook throughout his narratives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humor is an important creator of light and space and surprise,â&#x20AC;? says Collins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the great leavener. Without it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one dry, hard cracker.â&#x20AC;?

After receiving a BFA from the University of Cincinnati in 1991, Foard opted to pursue a career in corporate communications for over a decade before finally returning to the art world as an arts administrator for the Cummer Museum in Jacksonville, FL and later the University of Florida Health Medical Center, where she designed healing arts projects. Still fairly new to Athens, she plans to begin working towards her MFA at Lamar Dodd this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a process painter who bumps into content. I make continual adjustments and experiments with brushmarks,â&#x20AC;? says Foard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m heading when I start. Sometimes landscape paintings become figurative, and still-life paintings become underwater abstractions. I get lost for a while throughout each painting, then a form emerges and I go into a direction, often referring to memories.â&#x20AC;?

Foardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abstract paintings experiment with highly physical additive and subtractive methodologies that involve drawing, spraying, pouring, sanding, scraping and carving at various stages and drying times. The freedom to continue manipulating the canvasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; surface without a controlled outcome in mind allows for the freedom to channel emotions. Drawing influences from memories, anxieties and past communications, she invents imagined, abstracted worlds. Colorful combinations of paint with a strong sense of motion draw the eye in, then reveal hidden landscapes and still lifes.

An opening reception for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spotlight 2017â&#x20AC;? will be held Thursday, Aug. 17 from 6:30â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8:30 p.m. The exhibition will remain on view through September. f

flagpole’s Fall Concert Preview

10 Touring Acts to See From September to November

S

ummer’s not as slow for Athens music as it once was—thank AthFest, Popfest, Hot Corner Fest and SlopFest for that—but in terms of touring bands stopping off in town, autumn is still where the action is.

Local venues have been booking up a storm all summer long, and big names are steadily appearing on their calendars for the months of September through November.

Below, check out 10 touring acts we’re psyched to welcome to town this fall. As always, the Flagpole Calendar has details on these and many other events; find this week’s listings starting on p. 24 and an extensive down-the-line preview at flagpole.com.

Cherry Glazerr

Friday, Sept. 8 @ Caledonia Lounge

Fronted by teenage musician, model and actress Clementine Creevy, Los Angeles-based Cherry Glazerr caught the attention of San Fermin hip California imprint Burger Records a few years back and released its third LP, Apocalipstick, via Secretly Canadian at the start of 2017. The album nabs from ’90s grunge and alt-rock without falling too far down that oft-traveled rabbit hole.

group’s bassist comes to Athens. Drawing on his vast back catalog (both solo and with Phish) and incorporating various reggae and electronic flourishes, Gordon’s live show is an eclectic counterpart to his main band’s sportive psychedelia.

Monk Parker

Athenians of a certain age know Monk Parker from his time spent here fronting the bands Parker & Lily and The Low Lows, both low-key affairs that drew on dusty Americana and plaintive folk. Now based in Austin, TX, Parker dropped a second solo album, Crown of Sparrows, earlier this month via Grand Jury. Its

Conor Oberst remains one of his generation’s most perceptive songwriters.

After releasing Ruminations, a strippedback solo effort, last year, Oberst returned in March with Salutations, a companion piece that contains fullband versions of its predecessor’s 10 songs, plus seven new gems.

It wouldn’t be fall without a visit from sludge-rock godfathers the Melvins, for whom the 40 Watt is a home away from their Pacific Northwest home. The 34-year-old group has stuck to its rapid-speed release schedule with A Walk With Love

Tuesday, Sept. 26 @ Georgia Theatre

Despite a reputation as indie-rock’s resident goofball, Mac Demarco has quietly amassed an impressive discography since debuting with the enthusiastically silly Rock and Roll Night Club EP in 2012. One might even say This Old Dog, DeMarco’s latest and most yacht-rock-adjacent LP, released in May through Captured Tracks, reflects a certain newfound maturity, onstage antics be damned.

By Gabe Vodicka music@flagpole.com

Creating a compelling blend of chamber pop, modern classical and post-rock, Brooklyn-based ensemble San Fermin is the brainchild of composer and Yale grad Ellis Ludwig-Leone and features the vivid vocals of lead singer Charlene Kaye.

The group experiments with musical textures and storytelling methods on its latest album, Belong, out earlier this year.

Unknown Hinson Friday, Oct. 27 @ The Foundry

America’s favorite hillbilly vampire is headed back to Athens for his annual Halloween-weekend gig. Hinson’s decidedly un-PC schtick is either a spot-on satire of the Trump Age or an uncomfortable reminder of how much progress we’ve got left to make, depending on your perspective. Either way, he puts on a hell of a show.

Whitney

Japandroids

Created by two former members of indie hotshots Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Smith Westerns, Chicago band Whitney has become a buzz band in its own right thanks to last year’s remarkable Light Upon the Lake. A mix of country twang, Laurel Canyon sunshine and simplified soul, the group’s wistful indie-folk is seemingly tailor-made for crossover appeal.

No band does two-person arena-punk quite like Japandroids, the acclaimed Canadian duo featuring drummer David Prowse and guitarist Brian King. The group is touring this fall in support of its third LP, the shiny yet explosive Near to the Wild Heart of Life. Garage-rockers Cloud Nothings, who share Japandroids’ sense of sonic urgency, also appear on this must-see late-fall bill. f

Ready for the Country Wildwood Revival Offers a Roots-Rocking Getaway

By Bobby Moore music@flagpole.com

W

ildwood Revival is the music festival for people who either loathe camper-friendly music festivals or have had way too much of a good yet oversaturated thing by late August.

Entering its third year, the event takes place at the 30-acre Cloverleaf Farm in nearby Arnoldsville. The land is owned by the family of siblings and event organizers Libby Rose and Jesse Collier, adding to the festival’s down-home feel. It’s out in the country enough for the desired ambience, but it’s still conveniently located near Athens and Atlanta. With just 1,500 attendees allowed, there’s no risk of visitors’ rural getaway feeling as cluttered as a big-city block party.

furthers the event’s sense of community.

“We wanted to take the feeling you get from visiting places like small-town juke joints, honky tonks, farmers markets, swap meets, front porch parties and supper clubs, and bring those elements to the farm in the form of a festival,” says Rose.

Wildwood’s audience has grown organically, says Rose, with marketing kept to a minimum to control crowd size. Word has spread to all sorts of interested parties, including beneficiaries of Georgia’s booming film industry, with Woody Harrelson spotted around the campfire one year.

Other events include yoga, lawn games, a bluegrass jam session, workshops, dance parties, campfire sing-alongs, an artisan

“The festival is designed to be a sort of staycation for people coming in from Atlanta,” Rose says. “You don’t have to drive too far to get out of the city, but once you’re there, it feels like you’re far away.”

The three-day festival’s lineup celebrates the roots of rock, blues and country music, calling on upstart touring musicians and like-minded locals instead of the typical indie-rock stars and nostalgia acts of bigger events. Rowdy Texan Shakey Graves and his band headline this year’s event, while past lineups have featured Americana legends Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings and country outsider Margo Price.

Rose works at other festivals throughout the year. When she and her brother decided to create their own event, she drew on her experiences and sought feedback from friends to craft a fan-friendly experience.

“We wanted to create a festival atmosphere without the unpleasantries of high-dollar bottled water and food, folks crammed mercilessly into a cattle-call like environment with hundreds of thousands of people, and trash everywhere,” she says.

“That is what so much of festival culture has become… So we took some of the things we liked about the others and rolled in some ideas that we thought would create a more communal environment.”

market featuring vintage and handmade goods, and live-band karaoke.

Rose seems particularly fond of the karaoke element, which debuted last year.

“It got shut down an hour and a half into it, because we have to shut the music off by 10:30 because of our permit,” she says.

“When we ended it, everyone was having such fun that they were bummed and wished it’d gone on a few more hours.”

Wildwood’s performers get star treatment, as the artists’ area is in an antebellum mansion with a private bar. And though a VIP ticket option is available, the general-admission experience has been improved since the first year, with the addition of outdoor showers and permanent bathrooms in place of porta-potties.

Rose says her goal is to make the event small yet elaborate enough so that everyone feels like they’re getting preferential treatment. “Just being around the festival… allows [everyone] to feel like a VIP,” she says. f

The Salt Flats Drop a Purposeful New LP Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com WELCOME: It’s college time in Athens, and for those of you reading this column for the very first time, let me welcome you to town. Do yourself a favor and check out the incredibly wide swath of music available here for both listening and enjoying live, and if you’re so inclined, start making your own. Go out, meet people, and talk to other musicians.

This is how 99 percent of Athens bands make their start, so don’t feel weird about it. Let’s get to this week’s news…

Lauren Truett

GRADUATION DAY: The Salt Flats will release their first music in over four years Friday, Aug. 18 at the 40 Watt Club. Also on the bill are Hot Fudge and The Arcs. The new full-length is named Cloud to Ground, and it starts off nicely with the mid-tempo, smooth-as-butter “In Dreams,” which channels a bit—but only a bit—of 1990s New Radicals and also a decent amount of non-pathological Afghan Whigs territory. The title track is a stupendously driven, nearly spaghetti-western tune that, incredibly, uses its whammy-bar guitar solo in a completely uplifting way.

Actually, that supremely effective lead guitar is a hallmark of the entire record.

There’s zero dumb wankery.

Everything is purposeful and serves the songs. I’m not nuts about the slower songs, like “Cut Your Eyes” and “Pretty Jittery.” But overall, The Salt Flats it’s an album that should appeal nicely to both songwriters and those who wish to write songs. By the time you read this, Cloud to Ground should be available over at saltflats.bandcamp.com, but if it’s not, wait a few days or get off the couch and go to the show. Be a fan at facebook.com/SaltFlatsLive.

TO THE FRONT: Marching Banana Records released the debut EP by Taber Lathrop last month, and it’s a veritable all-star affair. Its gestation began a long time ago, with JoJo Glidewell recording it toward the end of 2014 then mixing it in 2015 and early 2016. It features appearances from Trent Johnson, Drew Kirby, Abby Gregg, Matt Anderegg and Trey Rosenkampff. When he’s not writing and recording, Lathrop works as lighting director and “costume slinger” for of Montreal. To his credit, very little of that influence is here, which is a difficult thing to achieve given that most people tend to mimic what’s around them. The opening track, “The Hunter in You,” is almost like a false

start, because its poppy embraces aren’t at all what comes later. We don’t actually get into the moody meat of the thing until about half a minute into track two (“I Heard”).

With the exception of its Wings-inspired intro and outro, it’s a track any Gram Parsons fan would find a good listen.

I think the next two songs (“I Try” and “Every Moment”) are the best ones here and display Lathrop’s talent the best.

Overall, this still feels like less of an EP and more of a demo of styles. Still, it’s not a bad place to begin. Check it out at marchingbanana.bandcamp.com.

NIGHT MUSIC: Composer Brett Jackson, working under the name Dressdown, just released a double album named Chimeric, Vol. 1: Narrow One and Chimeric, Vol. 2: Glass Veins. The two instrumental records purport to contain the stories of two different characters and “deal with strange nightmares, suppressed imagination and the feeling of a malicious foreign presence within oneself.” Jackson achieves this to wonderful effect. Using computer technology and guitar, he writes gorgeous, thoughtful and occasionally disturbing music that begs for a latenight headphones session.

The first volume is easily the most emotionally astray of the two, with its styles and components moving quickly around from blissful soundscapes to rhythmic palpitations to the final track, “Dark Circles,” which is as ice-cold and lonely as anything you’ll hear this summer. Vol. 2 is much more linear in its melodic approach and, when taken together, more immediately digestible. In imperfect terms, the first is more anxious and the second is more resolute. Check these out at drssdwn. bandcamp.com, and follow along at facebook.com/drssdwn.

HOLY SHIFT: The UGA Music Business Program is seeking to place 100 interns around town this semester. The list of possible work areas is long and can include things such as touring bands, merchandise companies, show promoters, night clubs, publicity firms, etc. If you’ve never had an intern but think your business qualifies, go ahead and take the chance. Sure, some will be just terrible, but that’s the nature of the beast. Others will be quite grand, and both of y’all will be better for the experience. Drop a line to David Barbe via mbusinterns@gmail.com if you’re interested. f

record review David Barbe: 10th of Seas (Orange Twin) The title of David Barbe’s new record is a reference to his history, which includes stints in influential bands Mercyland and Sugar, plus engineering credits for some of this century’s most prominent indie artists. “To sail across the 10th of seas would indicate traversing through the unknown, to have seen it all and then some,” Barbe writes in a press release.

Though he’s supported live by proteges New Madrid (as Inward Dream Ebb), Barbe wrote, played and recorded every bit of his new album, which spans a range of styles and attitudes. “Dim Bulbs” sets the tone with a ramshackle, lo-fi groove. “We’re All Here” oozes through a fuzzed-out first half before giving way to a sunny, psychedelic coda. The skewed doo-wop number “Why You Gotta Make It So Hard” segues into “Coils Coming Along,” a robust, King Tuff-style rocker.

10th of Seas’ greatest asset is its vitality. One might expect a middle-aged scene lifer’s solo album to sound muted, contemplative, worn. But even in its reflective moments, Barbe’s new album is unquestionably alive, bursting with the uniquely Athenian energy that has propelled the songwriter’s career from the start. [Gabe Vodicka]

10th of Seas is out Friday, Aug. 18. David Barbe and Inward Dream Ebb play the Georgia Theatre Rooftop on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

Horror and Hope

A Climate Change Doc, Conjuring Prequel and Biographical Drama

THE GLASS CASTLE (PG-13) The true story of Jeannette Walls, here played by Academy Award winner Brie Larson, is an incredible one. She essentially grew up with a real-life Captain Fantasticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the fictional 2016 film has more than a little bit in common with her tale. Her father, Rex (Woody Harrelson), dragged his artist wife, Rose Mary (Naomi Watts), and their three children from one ramshackle home to another, as he lost job after job to his ornery idealism and troubling alcoholism.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton (he previously worked with Larson on the awardwinning Short Term 12) and writer Andrew Lanham take some big liberties with Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; memories in order to construct a believable narrative arc for her just-over-two-hour life. (The duo had less success in adapting The Shack.) As with similar biographical dramas, a lot of the noteworthy work and praise goes to the performers. Larson, Harrelson and Watts will all probably be mentioned again when the silly season of awards dawns, and the expected praise is not undeserved.

However, the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end credits offer quick glimpses of the real-life Rex and Rose Mary; that footage is more compelling than the two previous hours and will likely make you wish you had seen that documentary rather than this predictably well-built facsimile. f

MUSIC | Aug 22–23

Caledonia Lounge · 9 p.m. · $5–7 As a member of Athens-based hiphop supergroup Deaf Judges—and its short-lived successor, Mad Axes—lyricist Malcolm Walters provided an earthy, easygoing counterweight to his bandmates’ fiery approach. As Donny Knottsville, Walters has released a steady stream of material over the past few years, the latest example of which is July’s Celestial Seasons. Featuring beats by Studebaker Assassins and appearances from local musicians Sienna Chandler, Paul McHugh, Thom Strickland and others, the album is a reprobate’s coming-out party, Knottsville’s filthiest and finest effort yet. Louie Larceny, Blue Bodies and Calico Vision share Thursday’s bill.

[Gabe Vodicka]

Lyndon House Arts Center · 2 p.m. · FREE! “Fold Unfold” presents over 50 contemporary coverlets woven by artists from across the country and stacked together to form sculptural pillars. Hoping to elevate the understanding of coverlets’ importance to Southern material culture, anthropologist Susan Falls and artist Jessica Smith (no relation) invited artists to create coverlets inspired by geometric patterning and using a black, white and gray color scheme to emphasize intricacy.

Approaching the exhibition from historical and contemporary perspectives, “Fold Unfold” challenges notions of what separates “craft” from “art.” During the closing reception, an unfolding performance will dismantle the pillars and reveal each individual coverlet. [Jessica Smith]

Contact for Location · 3–5 p.m. · $10–15 WUGA’s Artists in Residence series will drop into the home of textile designer Sara Parker and her husband Simon Hunt, a photographer, musician and filmmaker. Graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the couple co-own a textile studio that produces hand-printed fabrics often adorned with botanical and bird illustrations. Kate Van Cantfort, owner of Lotta Mae’s Supply Co., will speak about the couple’s careers around 3:30 p.m., and WUGA will air an interview prior to the event. The station will host its final Artists in Residence of the year at the home of sculptor Jean Westmacott on Oct. 21. RSVP by contacting 706-542-9842 or thaxtona@uga.edu.

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $30–35 Nashville band Moon Taxi started out as a rather shapeless jam outfit in the mid-aughts and has since evolved into one of modern rock’s most eclectic and unpredictable touring acts. The group, a music-festival staple, comes to town for a two-night stand at the Georgia Theatre after releasing a taut new single, “Two High,” in May. With an entire new album—the follow-up to 2015’s Daybreaker—reportedly on the way, expect to hear both fresh tunes and old favorites at the group’s two Athens shows. Fellow Music City roots-rockers The Weeks open Tuesday’s concert, and funky alternative rock act Big Something will kick things off Wednesday evening.

Guy Pals Won’t Stop Confiding in Me Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn

By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Hi Bonita!

I am a single female who happens to have always had many male friends. I had a single episode of cheating on my partner in my 20s, which I came clean about immediately and paid the price for (breakup, loss of friends, deep reflection and change of self, and so on).

Somehow, the relatively public knowledge of my crime has made my married male friends feel as though they can come to me with their secrets: cheating on their wives in monogamously defined relationships, being married to a woman but a closeted gay man, exploring their gender identity, depression in their marriages—the list goes on.

On the one hand, I want to be supportive of my friends. On the other hand, it’s made me fairly jaded about marriage and men in general. But that’s not really the issue.

Here is my question: How do I handle these confessions? I’m pretty in touch with how to help someone with gender identity issues and mental health concerns.

What I’m not good at is helping my friends when it comes to talk of their mar-

not all is bad. I’d just like advice in this not-sohot area.

Signed, Not Sure How to Proceed Not Sure, Well! It seems that you are your circle’s Bonita. It’s great to be so trusted by your friends, but it’s also a lot of emotional labor. People often don’t think about the emotional strain it puts on people who constantly provide a shoulder to lean on—the people you trust with the deep, dark shit that you wouldn’t dare tell your partner or family. And you’ve got several people seeking your ear with some pretty gnarly stuff, the kind of things that have you rethinking certain friendships.

The gender dynamic here is important.

You’re a single woman who is a close friend to partnered men who tell you things their main squeezes don’t know. A sad side effect of jealousy culture is that girlfriends or wives will look at you sideways for gaining a trust from their

riages. I advocate that they be honest with themselves and their wives and seek counseling, whether just for them or as couples. But it’s not me, and it’s not my marriage, so there’s a limited amount I can do.

For the one man who has taken my advice and owned up to it and is working out his marriage, that’s cool. But now his wife is suspicious of me. She doesn’t love him talking to me, which I get on a lot of levels. But why am I investing my time into helping my friends when what I get in return is suspicion or treated like I’m this honesty box they can spill their feelings into? I don’t for a minute misunderstand the fact that their wives are humans with feelings too. And I feel constantly caught between a rock and a hard place wondering, do I tell them? Or, if my friends come clean, will we still get to be friends? (Do I even want to be their friend?)

I do have male friends who are happy and honest in their relationships and marriages, so

partners that eludes them. It might be worth it to reach out to the woman in question and let her know that you’re sort of just counseling this guy through his troubles, no funny business involved.

You’ve gotta lay down some boundaries with these guys. Let them know that you’re their friend, and they can always talk to you, but they can’t let you in on infidelities or downright freaky shit with the expectation that you’ll stay silent or help them be sleazebags. Hell, give them my contact info if they need confidential advice. I’m a “hos before bros” gal to the core, and I would definitely let a lady friend know if her man was cheating on her. It’s hard when you’re friends with both people involved, but there’s a principle at work here, and you don’t want your reputation to be dragged down with his as someone who aided and abetted instead of doing the right thing.

Much Love, Bonita
