When Graham Lindsey answers the phone he’s in rural Wisconsin, standing outside of the 1984 Shasta camper that is the closest thing he and his wife have to a permanent address. Their last one was in Anaconda, a Montana town built up around what was once the largest copper smelting operation in the world. What’s left of the smelter is the 585-foot stack and a toxic waste site that covers 300 square miles. His music career began before he needed to shave. At 12, he was a member of a punk rock novelty outfit called Old Skull. At 19, he was holed up in a Nebraska farmhouse, penning songs that might have floated down from the Appalachian foothills. Then it was New York, a cabin in Wisconsin, Montana, five years without a tour. “I just needed to take a break and refocus and recalibrate things and figure out what I really

“I don’t want to step in that puddle at all.” Across his two later albums and a remarkable EP called “The Mine,” Lindsey tells stories of desperation and anger and redemption with a lyrical acuity that few of his contemporaries can match. The writing, he said, “is having the time to be able to listen to yourself instead of being inundated by everybody and everything else that may be going on around you.” His last two releases were written in the Montana mountains “where there was very, very little going on except a lot of snow and chopping wood. I’d be in town every day, working jobs and I would gather and collect the material there and hike it back home.” But he’s back on the road now. The camper helps. “I can make coffee in my car now,” he said, “which is deﬁnitely a bright spot.”

wanted from all of this,” he said. Those songs from the Nebraska farmhouse became the album “Famous Anonymous Wilderness,” released in 2003. Had it come out in 1962, when the folk revival was still in full swing, Lindsey might have ended up a bit more famous. The album was a collection of waltz-time laments, strange folk stomps and poetic self-interrogations with a murder ballad for good measure, music that had mined the rich, weird vein of Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music. “The older music has something and it’s retained something throughout decades and decades that I personally can’t ﬁnd with pop music,” he said. “The biggest thing off the bat would be the unpretentiousness of it,” he said, the absence of ego. He calls ego “a horrible dangerous thing.” That ﬁts with a certain idea of what folk music is supposed to be, music with no authors, only avatars, but Lindsey was saying something else, that singers should be “servants to the song versus personalities and celebrities.”

When Canada’s Art of Dying released their major-label debut, 2011’s “Vices and Virtues,” it was a no-brainer it would be something special. Howard Benson (Papa Roach, P.O.D., Daughtry) and Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan produced the album, and the release is packed with appropriately heavy yet melodic songs. Lead single “Die Trying,” which is No. 8 on the rock chart, works a snakelike melody through drill-press riffs, retaining a keen sense of melody. The band plays Rock on the Range music festival this weekend in Columbus, Ohio, and NOISE caught up with frontman Jonny Hetherington. NOISE: What were the early years in Art of Dying like? Hetherington: It was a lot of hard work because we didn’t have anyone helping us, so we were trying to ﬁgure out how to do everything on our own, and without money, that’s

hard. It turned out the be an awesome learning experience, because now we know the ins and outs of tours and how to beg, borrow and steal to make those things happen. NOISE: You’re playing Rock on the Range in Columbus this year. Who are you most excited to see? Hetherington: Actually, of all the bands that we look up to, Maynard and Billy (Howerdel of A Perfect Circle) — that whole band really inﬂuenced us a lot in our early years. When the ﬁrst A Perfect Circle came out, it was really an amazing mix of Maynard’s vocals and guitar stuff that was incredible, and I personally love that band, so it’s going to be huge to be with them.

Art at festival’s core Mike Hughes for NOISE

First summer fest kicks off this weekend

On one overcrowded May weekend each year, East Lansing packs a little of everything. There are artists and musicians. There are food booths and kid shows and endless distractions. At the core of the East Lansing Art Fesival are those artists. There will be 201 this weekend — sifted by jurors from almost 500 entries — plus seven in the “emerging artist” category. “There are a lot of new people coming in,” said Corinn VanWyck, the festival director. There’s more art nearby — across the street (the unjuried Michigan State University show) and on the street (chalk art). And that’s just part of the weekend. “The music part is almost a festival within a festival,” said Wanda Degen, the Main Stage coordinator. If you stripped away everything else, this would be a strong music festival. It has a couple of national acts (Vienna Teng, The Spring Standards), many local and regional favorites (Root Doctor, Madcat Ruth, Rachael Davis, Seth & May, more) and a lot of newcomers. Michaela Anne

Of course, there’s no reason to strip any of that away. All of the festival pieces ﬁt together. “One of the great things is you get to wander around,” Teng said. After performing at the festival two years ago, she promptly walked around with her colleagues. “The ﬁrst thing I did was get some corn cakes … all of us bought some amazing art.” Teng bought photography featuring the stunning images of mannequins from a deserted Detroit Degen store; there was more oddness ahead. “I remember there was a ‘zombie run’ that day. We ended up seeing it when we were at an ice cream parlor.” The art-festival experience turns out to be varied. “Growing up in East Lansing, I remember Crazy Richard (the street juggler) especially,” said Dana Bustamante. She also remembers savoring the vast variety of art work: “It never really entered my mind that, ‘Hey, I’m going to be in the show some day.’ ” Many things intervened for her, including college (Wooster), jobs (including waiting at India Palace) and a change at the festival (adding the “emerging artist” category). This year, that includes Bustamante, with her ink drawings and possibly some watercolors. And Satpreet Kahlon, a recent MSU grad who turns a traditional style into an art form; “it’s like the oldstyle photography, with the curtain in the back of the camera,” she said.

TIA IMANI HANNA PROJECT For Tia Imani Hanna, categories don’t come easily. She studied classical violin at Michigan State University, with I-Fu Wang and others, but has a jazzy sound. She’s an instrumentalist — but the voice is one of her instruments. “Seeing her play is fascinating,” said Ben Hall, who scheduled her for Stage West. And she can show up in any combination. On Saturday, it’s the Tia Imani Hanna Project, with percussionist Carolyn Koebel and guitarist/pianist Sven Anderson. On Sunday, she joins Hot Club of Lansing.

MICHAELA ANNE In show business, Michaela Anne exists without a last name. Back in her almosthometown of East Lansing, however, some surnames are important. She’s a Neller on one side, a Ruhala on the other. She has family roots in real estate, social work, dance and submarinecaptaining. And now she’s a singer. That brings her to her home town — or one of them. Her dad was a Navy ofﬁcer who retired as a captain. That meant moving often — Italy, Washington and more.”I only lived in East Lansing for one year, (but) it still is one of my very favorite years.”

There are ﬁve others, including another new MSU alum, Kerry Fleet. A ceramicist and education major from Traverse City, she’s in an event she’s been going to each year. “I’ve loved attending the festival.” The blend of old and new artists is key, VanWyck said; this is still, after all, an art festival. “Rather than having the headline national acts, we want to have a strong local feel.” Still, Degen — now in her 25th year of booking Main Stage acts — also includes national touches. When she started in 1987, she said, “it was all local acts.” She soon booked “Prairie Home Companion” stars Butch Thompson, Peter Ostroushko, Robin and Linda Williams then added more. Degen has memories that are cheery — swapping hitchhiking stories with Thompson, backing Bill Kirchen onstage — and otherwise: Once, a passer-by mistook a juggling act and called the ﬁre department. She continues to book some national acts. Teng did the David Letterman show, harmonica whiz Peter “Madcat” Ruth toured with Dave Brubeck, The Spring Standards are catching on in New York. Other things change. “There are no more jugglers,” Degen said. Except, along the walkways, Crazy Richard. He’s still juggling crazily after all these years.

‘The Psychopath Test’

BY J O N RO N SO N (RIVERHEAD)

This absolutely fascinating book is another hit for Jon Ronson, a journalist who has made his career nosing into the strange outskirts of society in the international bestsellers “Them: Adventures with Extremists” and “The Men Who Stare At Goats,” the basis for the George Clooney ﬁlm adaptation. Beginning with a strange quest to determine the origins of a mysterious book that had been sent anonymously to a number of the most brilliant people in the world, Ronson’s explorations lead him deep within the equally mysterious ﬁeld of psychological diagnoses, particularly the diagnoses of psychopaths. Ranging from individual cases of psychopathy to revelations regarding the shocking increase in the number of psychopaths in positions of power (think CEOs, politicians, etc.) vs. the normal population, Ronson’s exploration is as gripping as any novel I’ve read this year.

TEDx takes over Lansing Area speakers aim to share ideas, inspire Tricia Bobeda NOISE

Speaking at a TED conference is on Andrea King Collier’s bucket list. The 54-year-old Lansing resident will be able to check that item off Friday. Collier joins nine other speakers Friday at the second TEDxLansing event. The speakers have about 15 minutes each to inform and inspire an audience about an area of their expertise at the Pasant Theatre in the Wharton Center in East Lansing. Several hundred local movers and shakers will attend to listen to presentations and network. “I just love the idea of people sharing on that scale what they know,” Collier said. “For me it’s like this is the warmup act.” Collier calls TEDxLansing her warmup act because she’s still shooting for a spot at the main TED conference someday. TED — Technology,

ANDREA KERBUSKI COURTESY PHOTO

Entertainment and Design — began as a conference to bring leaders from those three industries together with the tagline “Ideas worth spreading.” Since 1984, it has grown into a nonproﬁt with a global mission. Past speakers include Bill Gates, Al Gore and Jamie Oliver. TEDx events are independently organized from the TED conference, but follow the same guidelines. More than 500 communities in more than 70 countries have hosted a TEDx event. Presentations at TEDxLansing will range from lessons learned from an 80-year-old musician to how Tom Izzo’s idioms translate off the court. Local musicians Jen Sygit, Tia Imani Hanna and Rose Cooper will also perform during the event. Collier said she will challenge the community to get creative to solve its problems. “Lately I’ve been talking a lot about big heavy issues, but my passion is creativity,” she said. “(My talk) is inviting people to be creative again. “Michigan and Lansing have challenges, but for anybody who thinks they want to tackle them, we

XIAO is an Americanized-Chinese lounge that seems a lot like another Americanized-Chinese restaurant chain — but better. The restaurant recently opened near the Frandor Shopping Center and has a full bar (happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Thursday). The lounge is classy enough to be a good date spot but isn’t too upscale that you’ll feel out of place wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

The scene

It’s hard not to notice the giant Buddha statue chillin’ in the back of the restaurant, surrounded by six pillars with various words in English and Chinese — but it wasn’t until we were seated and looked up did we notice it.

The food

The food goes beyond the typical Chinese fare, with almost all including

vegetables alongside the meat portion. A short list of lunch combinations — served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday — include a smaller portion of the entree, with fried rice and salad on the side. Looking for something lighter to start off with, we ordered the summer rolls as an appetizer ($6) — shrimp, salad greens and sweet basil wrapped in rice paper wrappers. The rolls — two pieces — didn’t have too much ﬂavor except for a strong minty taste, but the crushed peanuts in plum sauce certainly

helped, a little thick but not too sweet. Laura and I each went with a lunch combo, Laura ordered the orange chicken and I chose the pepper steak (both $8). The food came served in a big beautiful bowl, a generous portion of fried rice with our chicken and beef. The pepper steak was nothing short of phenomenal — not heavy on sauce nor salty, a big complaint of mine usually. It also had big chunks of onion and green pepper. Laura’s orange chicken included actual mandarin oranges and broccoli, in a

spicy yet tangy sauce. I’ve frequented many area restaurants around lunchtime and this was hands down the fastest we’ve been out the door (40 minutes). Our service was prompt but our server was attentive, knowing just when to come back to reﬁll our waters.

CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES

‘Rituals’ CO LD R E D R E LEAS I N G

(99 minutes, Rated R)

A variation on the “Deliverance” premise of civilized men venturing into the wilderness and encountering more than they bargained for, “Rituals” is that rarest of cult thrillers that bothered to secure a talented cast, sturdy screenplay and engaging cinematography, and the result is a taut, suspenseful film that transcends its meager budget and stands as a superior entry in rural horror. Featuring a sterling cast including the inimitable Hal Holbrook, “Rituals” has been notoriously difficult to see uncut, turning up as “The Creeper” on edited VHS. Code Red does genre fans everywhere a proverbial solid with their excellent DVD release. Don’t expect a visually flawless transfer, but the film looks great overall and the included commentary and interviews are a fine bonus. If there is any justice, a new generation will discover this small, potent film and Code Red will have a bona fide hit on their hands.

Sistrum, Lansing’s women’s chorus, celebrates its 25th season with a double concert, “Singing the Journey,” Friday and Saturday at Lansing Community College’s Dart Auditorium. “We are thrilled to be celebrating such a remarkable milestone,” artistic director Meredith Bowen said. “To have such a committed group of women make this chorus a living, breathing part of their lives, as well as part of the Greater Lansing community, for a quarter century is just so impressive. This group simply would not thrive without their tremendous commitment.” The anniversary concert will include some of Sistrum’s favorite songs throughout the years, plus standards and contemporary music from composers such as Eleanor Daley, Paul Halley, Stephen Hatfield and Joan Szymko. The chorus currently has 40 singing members with a vision to “provide a musical haven where women may find their voices and enjoy the camaraderie offered by the Sistrum community,” according to the organization’s official statement. » Sistrum, Lansing’s women’s chorus » 8 p.m. Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, Dart Auditorium on the campus of Lansing Community College » Tickets are on a sliding scale from $12-25 available online at www.sistrum.org or through a chorus member.

(XL Recordings)

Easily the most hyped and polarizing hip hop collective of the past year, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (ODWGKTA) and its massive crew of MCs and producers have released a pile of digital mixtapes and solo albums through their website but little in the way of physical LPs. That changes with honcho Tyler the Creator’s one-off for XL spookily entitled “Goblin”. So is the metric ton of Jimmy Fallonapproved buzz justiﬁed? If one measures solely based on “Goblin”, the simple answer is “No”. Full of warped, nervy production and nary a chorus to be found, “Goblin” is a challenging, discomforting listen but there is little pleasure to be derived from these tales of obsessive violence and sex. The gruesome tales unfold with Tyler’s monotone ﬂow, and nothing takes hold. They claim they aren’t horrorcore, but it will take more than “Goblin” to prove they aren’t a gimmick.

NFL bargaining feels like playground battle

Andi Osters | Columnist for

AN D I O STE R S ostersan@gmail.com

source: the fourth-graders (“players”). Meanwhile, the fourth-graders have worked hard to amass some playground currency of their own: and they’ve done quite well. They’re bringing in good numbers on the kickball courts, their daily game of tag is generating some serious buzz and generally, they’re happy. Cue the fifth-graders. After a long, slowmotion walk with much dust-kicking and fanfare, the fifth-graders confront the fourth-graders and demand they hand over three of their four kickball courts, in exchange for the promise of bigger and better things in the future. You can imagine the fourth-graders reaction to this mandate: not pretty. After all, their legacy as fourth-graders is being challenged. Everything they’ve worked so hard for could suddenly be lessened. The yelling escalates, and when the pushing and shoving starts, the recess monitor (“Eighth Circuit Appeals Court”) steps in. In this scenario — there’s a faction lost on the playground. There’s a group of kids in the lesser grades (“fans”) who, while all of this madness is happening, are forced to sit against the fence in the sand and weeds with nothing to do but wait and worry. That group of kids can’t understand why the fourth- and fifth-graders are spending all this valuable time and energy trying to get more of something they already have so much of. I mean, how much more candy will fit in a pillowcase? All the little kids want to do is watch the big kids play kickball.

“Like I do with all fights, I like to frame this one using the context of an elementary school playground at recess.”

Andi Osters, 28, is a Michigan State graduate.

here’s worry afoot. If you listen to casual conversation at happy hours, watch the mild disdain on faces during SportsCenter, hear the echo of silent Man-Caves everywhere — it’s definitely present. It’s the manifestation of a nation concerned about its’ highest grossing professional sports product: the National Football League. I’ve briefly touched on the collective bargaining topic in previous columns this year; but always in reference to the 2011 Detroit Lions season and never with conscious intention of explaining the damn thing. Well, now it seems I must. This week in court, the owners (read: league) “won” the right to continue the work stoppage and keep players out of facilities, thus lengthening a troublesome period of labor strife threatening to rob fans of the one thing they look forward to on Sunday afternoons in winter. If you don’t appreciate analogies, stop reading now. Like I do with all fights, I like to frame this one using the context of an elementary school playground at recess. Picture it: after Halloween, on the fifth-graders’ (“owners”) biggest and baddest territory. The small group of cool kids gathers near the swingset to discuss how they obviously don’t have nearly enough of the two things most important to fifth-graders: candy, and playground real-estate. Yes, they already have pillowcases full of candy, the best Eagles’ Nest, monkey bars and jungle gym: but they want more. They want all of the fifth-graders to reap the rewards they so rightly deserve. So the small group of cool kids decide that they will need to take it from the only other available “revenue”

You could discover that someone is falling in love with you, courtesy of ﬂirtatious Mercury. Your email or text message will entrance a friend.

GEMINI

(MAY 21 - JUNE 21)

It’s your personal new year, and you can access positive energy and “luck.” It could be time to do something daring and outrageous because chances are it will pay off.

CANCER

You and your partner need to get to grips with ﬁnancial

MCT Direct

issues as a practical moon urges you to focus on budgets. Don’t be intimidated about the money stuff.

LEO

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22)

A sassy moon has you playing the ﬂirt. You could make a saucy suggestion to a colleague or a sensual suggestion to an attractive neighbor.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22)

You and your honey could experience a surprising sense of connection as the moon creates more intimacy between the two of you.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 23)

You could be attracted to someone who is much more ﬁery and intense than you are. You tend to be soft, poetic, and imaginative, but this person could be direct and passionate.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 24 - NOV. 21)

ABO U T TH E LI PSTI C K M YSTI C

The sun has you second guessing yourself, wondering if you’ve been making the right choices. You could be thinking about a past romance, wondering why you ended things.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 - DEC. 21)

It’s ﬁne to consider your options, but don’t make any sudden moves. Make sure you talk things over with your sweetheart before making any big changes.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19)

A friendly moon is making you more affectionate than usual. You’ll want to cuddle up with your sweetheart and spoil him or her.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18)

You might hear from someone who is part of your romantic past as the sun stirs up the sentimentality. You probably still have feelings for this person, so it could get complicated.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20)

A psychic moon is helping you tap into emotions and experiences that are an important part of you. Try keeping a journal and taking notes about the things that surface.

Lansing band Medica Lansing-based metal band Medica plays what they call “switch metal:” a mix of every form of metal, bringing a diversity that varies dramatically from song to song. Lansing-based Sean Smith manager the group, which includes vocalist Sisto Huelga, guitarist and vocalist Ryan Ely, guitarist and vocalist Brian Hayes, bass player Justin Taulbee and drummer Mike Barker. Medica opens for one of their favorite bands Saturday at Harpo’s Concert Theatre in Detroit: DevilDriver. “We are really excited for this show because it’s a huge opportunity to play alongside one of our inspirations, DevilDriver,” Smith said. “Playing at such a legendary venue like Harpo’s is a great stepping stone, for us to make our mark for a larger audience and spread ourselves more across Michigan and the Midwest.” You may listen to the band’s new single, “Worthless,” on their ofﬁcial website www.medicametal.com. Smith, Hayes and Daniel Bage of Mutiny Within (Roadrunner Records) produced the track. » Medica, DevilDriver, more » Doors open 5 p.m. Saturday, May 21 » Harpo’s Concert Theatre, 14238 Harper Ave., Detroit, (313) 824-1700, $15 and up, depending on when you purchase tickets Anne Erickson
