Yuengling sued over label NJ designer claims ‘America’s Oldest Brewery’ stole his work His lawyer showed Metro what they claim is nearly identical labels New Jersey graphic designer Adam D’Addario filed a federal copyright infringement suit this week against D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc., alleging the Pottsville brewery never paid him for his work on its Oktoberfest beer labels and packaging.

“He developed himself the Oktoberfest labels, proposed them and provided them to Yuengling,” D’Addario’s lawyer John Crossan said Thursday. “Rather than accepting and paying him for it and going on with the carton and the labels for the six packs and 12 packs and 24 packs, they severed relations with him and redesigned the label just by curving the Oktoberfest band.”

D’Addario worked for Yuengling as a freelancer since he was hired more than 20 years ago to help modernize its brand identity and expand distribution. It has since become the largest Americanowned beer maker in the world.

The Voorhees-based designer allegedly submitted the Oktoberfest design in October 2010 to a favorable reception from Yuengling’s marketing team. Soon after, their relationship suddenly soured. “He got cut off when he trained an in-house person to do graphic design,” Crossan said.

D’Addario claims he asked to be compensated for the work repeatedly through email, voicemail and written letters. “They wouldn’t pay

He is seeking: At least $80,000 in lost compensation for creating the design An order barring Yuengling from using the design without compensation or a portion of Yuengling’s profits from the beer sold with the design Statutory damages of up to $150,000 Attorney fees and reimbursement for the cost of filing the suit

him, they simply declined,” Crossan said. “He tried for over a year to get someone to pay — for over a year for the Oktoberfest label design — and they just wouldn’t do it.”

According to the complaint, president and owner Richard Yuengling instructed employees to refuse to pay D’Addario and even barred them from mentioning the designer’s dispute.

A message left for Yuengling Thursday afternoon was not returned.

The last straw came when D’Addario recently saw on a website that Yuengling planned to use a slightly altered version of his design on $14 million worth of kegs and cases set to ship next month, allegedly without payment or permission.

The suspects drove the victim to Wilmington, where they forced the would-be do-gooder out of the car at gunpoint and left him on the side of the road. METRO

Cops: Suspect armed with AK-47 had bayonet, drugs

Jermal Ponds

mantled AK-47 with a bayonet and a 40-round clip, a .38 revolver with six rounds in the chamber, 25 to 30 pills of the narcotic painkiller Percocet, an ounce of what is believed to be marijuana and $716, Redfern said.

The man, identified by police as Jermal Ponds, 28, was arrested that night and arraigned on Wednesday.

He is charged with carrying unlicensed firearms, possession of marijuana and possessing a controlled substance and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail, according to court documents.

This is not Ponds' first brush with the law. He was arrested

in early June for marijuana possession and ordered to enroll in a Small Amounts of Marijuana Program, a three-hour class about drug abuse those found with less than 30 grams of pot can complete in order to have their record expunged. His next hearing in that case is scheduled for Aug. 11.

Ponds was also arrested in September of 2011 for allegedly firing shots at a girlfriend, but assault and weapons charges were withdrawn this past February, reportedly because a witness in the case failed to appear.

Wharton v. the world: Bond giant takes on professor Acclaimed Philadelphia professor in economic squabble with leader of world’s largest bond fund Jeremy Siegel, author of “Stocks for the Long Run” and a Wharton School finance professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said Bill Gross, who runs the world’s biggest bond fund at Pacific Investment Management Co. (Pimco), is wrong when he compares long-term returns from equities investing to a “Ponzi scheme.”

“I like Bill Gross a lot, but he’s got the economics wrong,” Siegel said this week.

Gross fired back Friday that Siegel is “obviously pushing at windmills” and “belongs back in his ivory tower.”

Gross

In his monthly investment outlook Tuesday, Gross said that the so-called Siegel Constant, which purports to show a long-term history of inflationadjusted equity returns of 6.6 percent since 1912, may be a “historical freak” unlikely to be seen again.

“Those that are looking for double-digit returns for stocks to pay education, to pay for retirement, are bound to be disappointed and that’s why the cult of equity is dead,” Gross said today in the interview with Liu. “It’s hard to see how corporations and stocks can continue to earn 3 percent more than GDP going forward and that’s only common sense.”

Siegel, a professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in Philadelphia, has endorsed stocks for the long run, saying in April that he expects the

Stocks this century: Like a Ponzi scheme Mutual fund company Vanguard Group’s John Bogle agreed that investors should expect lower long-term returns than average returns produced over the last century.

He said pension funds are unrealistic in targeting 8 percent returns.

They are “dreaming about a

bubble that isn’t going to return,” he said. “On the other hand, buy-and-hold investing is never dead.”

“If stocks continue to appreciate at a 3 percent higher rate than the economy itself, then stockholders will command not only a disproportionate share of wealth but nearly all of the money in the world,” Gross said, equating the performance of stocks to a Ponzi scheme when measured over the next 100 years.

Monetary policy has “eliminated the possibility” of investors in bonds and stocks earning adequate returns based on their liabilities, Gross said.

Those investors such as pension funds and insurance companies that have depended on a 6.5 percent constant real return from stocks “are bound to be disappointed,” he added.

The “Total Recall” star talks and dealing with endless

cracking the bad guy mind-set questions about her age

Kate Beckinsale: K

ate Beckinsale has quite a ferocious presence in the new update on “Total Recall.” She plays a government operative on the hunt for Colin Farrell’s rogue agent with memory issues, after she’s worked undercover as his doting wife. The trick to tapping into such a baddie, she reveals, is to play it like a hero. But something Beckinsale is less adept at, she admits, is dealing with the ever-present questions about age and beauty that pop up on a press tour.

Though you play the villain, you’ve mentioned that your character thinks she’s the hero.

The thing is, if you’re playing somebody who is mentally ill, you can’t play mentally ill. If you play somebody as a villain, you end up twirling your mustache and that kind of thing. I do think people who do things that other people consider bad are feeling like they’re doing the right thing. And I think she’s also quite distracted by her own sort of emotional situation, which is that she’s so highly trained and highly talented, and yet she’s given this

Quoted

I assume it would be maddening, having all that training to be, basically, a housewife.

Yeah, and then go and have sex with this person — who is for all intents and purposes a factory worker — and make his dinner for him. It would drive me mad, and I’m not even a highly trained operative. I would hate that.

I’ve noticed when doing press for your movies, you get a lot of the same questions, particularly about your age.

Were you there when [a reporter] asked me if I fantasize about playing Maggie Smith’s parts? That was quite a stunning one. Is she not 87? I came back to my room and said, “I wonder if Colin was asked does he fantasize about playing Mickey Rooney’s parts?” Does that happen? Probably not. I must say, I do find that that’s an obsession that seems to be quite rampant in the press,

Review

‘Total Recall’ Director: Len Wiseman Cast: Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale Rating: PG-13 Grade: The original “Total Recall” was simultaneously beaten up on release for its level of violence and praised for its complex story.

detail that’s actually quite degrading, where you’re that highly trained and you’re basically pretending to be somebody’s wife. There’s something kind of humiliating and horrible about that being your job.

and it doesn’t come up in my actual life so much. And then I get quite shocked when I come to press junkets and people are obsessed with it. It’s almost like, “How are you still going around with that wooden leg and the colostomy bag and the false teeth? How’s it going?” It just seems so completely mad to me.

It’s the other side of being an actress, really — taking these questions over and over, handling them with grace and humor. How do you do that?

I don’t know if I think I’m necessarily very good at it, because I feel like I’m far too honest most of the time. I keep hearing about these sort of seminars that other actors have done to figure out how to deal with it, and I was never offered it, told about it — it’s too f---ing late now, anyway. I do think that my instinct is to be open and treat it as if I am genuinely having a conversation, which I don’t know is necessarily the right move. I think that’s a bit naive.

high, but the story plays more like a high-tech version of “The Fugitive” than a sci-fi mind bender. It’s a pretty good chase movie, but the sci-fi falls flat.

Farrell is much more of an everyman than his predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The original treated women like window dressing, but here Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are given meaty, action-packed parts. Beckinsale uses all she tricks she learned on the

09

WEEKEND, AUGUST 3-5, 2012

“Underworld” movies, kicking butt in every scene she’s in. And while Biel won’t need to wake up early on Academy Award day, she gives an energetic performance.

Overall, it seems the movie values violence and action above all — more than story, humor or even the legendary three-breasted hooker who is glimpsed for all of two seconds. This movie clearly appreciates bullets over breasts. RICHARD CROUSE

2 Candid Kate

Fun with adult toys Kate Beckinsale isn’t afraid of getting randy with her anecdotes, as she did when she visited Conan O’Brien’s talk show earlier this year and spoke about stashing a fake penis in her mother’s luggage.

“My makeup artist had given me for Easter — I’m not sure why — this enormous rubber penis,” Beckinsale recounted. “I kept stashing it in my trailer at different spots so my daughter wouldn’t find it. So I thought, ‘I’m just going to put it in my mother’s hand luggage when she goes to the airport.

Maybe that will cheer her up.’ My mother is very English and also 64. When I told my makeup artist, she was horrified and said, ‘You have to call her in the car.’ So ... I had to call and say, ‘I’m terribly sorry, Mom. Look in your bag.’ She responded, ‘Oh my god, Kate ...

What am I going to do with it?’”

Beckinsale says she’s shying away from anecdotes about sex toys.

“I’ve learned my lesson a bit on that one,” she says. “You can’t keep doing that, otherwise people think you have a fetish.”

fascination with magic and sleight of hand. That left Murphy with the task of mastering a few slick tricks, like the old pull-the-quarter-out-of-yourear that your grandpa used to do.

“I just went and learned it and you know, you can learn

anything off YouTube these days,” Murphy says. “To get that fast, [it took] maybe two months. If you have nothing else to do in your life except to make a coin roll over your fingers, you’ll do it.”

Since Murphy has starred in his fair share of mind-benders, does the actor perhaps have a fascination with science fiction?

“Personally, I would be in the skeptic camp — which is not to say that I’m a cynic, but just that I have yet to see something that I believe is beyond our comprehension,” he says regarding the paranormal.

“I’m open and I’m curious, be-

cause you have to be if you’re an actor. In my own life, I don’t go to mediums or read horoscopes. I’m just kind of boringly rational, I’m afraid.”

You can also catch Murphy in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” where he makes a small cameo as Scarecrow, his character from the first film. Murphy has nothing but high praise for the filmmaker.

“It’s very rare that you come across someone that talented,” Murphy says. “I feel blessed to have worked with him.”

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION

The latest adaptation of Jeff Kinney’s popular books, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days” focuses on lazy Greg Heffley’s aimless summer vacation. Most notably, he tells his parents that he got a job to cover up sneaking into a country club.

Maybe he’s not as wimpy as he is lazy.

Harmless but hardly inventive, the film may improve upon the franchise’s previous outings. But without a solid narrative, “Wimpy Kid” seems as restless as a hyperactive adolescent on summer break.

Victory Headwaters Pale Ale “You need a fresh hoppy pale ale for seafood. This one’s got a nice citrus-y quench.

It’s a great palate cleanser that’ll wash away some of the brininess from seafood.�

Pilsner Urquell “It’s easy going.

It’s not too bitter or malty, which is great for sitting in the sun or moving day.�

Allagash White Ale “It’s a craft beer’s answer to Blue Moon.

This is a Belgian white beer with hints of clove, banana and citrus.

It’s a crowdpleaser, and it’s perfect for a hot day.�

Lobster rolls

Tacos and guac Green Flash West Coast IPA “Tacos go best with an IPA. The bitterness you get from an IPA is great with spicy foods. Green Flash West Coast IPA takes some of the heat away.�

WEEKEND, AUGUST 3-5, 2012

Pies and desserts Nøgne ø Imperial Stout “Stouts make great dessert beers. People think of them as heavy but they pair well with sweets because they’ve got the same qualities of desserts such as a slight chocolate-y finish and a roasted quality similar to coffee.

This beer also makes a great ice cream float — one of my favorites.�

For Wallace’s ice cream oat

Picnic (fried chicken and corn on the cob) Weihenstephaner Original Premium “This is a filtered wheat beer that’s great for hot weather.

It’s bread-y and it has a crisp, clean, bitter finish. Also, it’s not too sweet or too bitter, so it lets your meal shine while quenching your thirst.�

The maze

RYAN PARKER

as a metaphor

Local printmaker Ryan Parker lifts labyrinths from everything from video games to horror movies Anyone who has squandered countless hours (or days) at a time blasting away at gunmen and aliens in first-person shooter games like “Doom� or “Duke Nukem� knows how easy it is to get lost in their endlessly branching mazes.

Local artist Ryan Parker wandered those passageways in his youth and has recently been revisiting them in his printmaking work.

Parker builds mazes, some of them invented, others taken directly from video games or other sources, in a 3-D modeling program, then wanders through taking virtual snapshots, after which he renders then as etchings. “I like referencing these ’80s and ’90s games with this antique printed quality,� Parker says. “It’s a blurring of time periods.�

He discovered traditional printmaking while a student at Tyler School of Art, which brought him to Philly from his native Florida.

His latest series further leaps between eras, combining multiple perspectives taken from several windows on his desktop into a single image.

‘Finder’: New Work by Ryan Parker Opening reception Friday, 6-10 p.m.

Space 1026, 1026 Arch St. www.space1026.com

Leather, Sunroof

Parker’s work is on view this month at Space 1026.

The pieces create imaginary spaces inspired by the 18th-century printmaker Piranesi’s “Prisons� series.

Space 1026’s exhibition of some of Parker’s most recent work, “Finder,� features pieces based on the hedge maze from Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.�

As he explains, “I identify

with the character Jack’s struggle with writing his novel. I use the maze as a metaphor for the creative struggle; I think making art is always full of challenges, a lot of turns and dead ends. It’s something that’s never solvable.�

Aaron Sorkin defends ‘Newsroom’ writing

TV watch list

MELISSA MOSELEY

During the Television Critics Association press tour, the writer talks controversy over the flawed characters on his cable news drama

Aaron Sorkin hears your criticism. The creator of “The Newsroom” acknowledges the commentary that the female characters on his behind-thescenes drama about a 24/7 cable news channel are written as smart, yet functionally incompetent. He just doesn’t have the same opinion. “I 100 percent disagree with it,” Sorkin told reporters gathered at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Wednesday. “I think that the female characters on the show are, first of all, every bit the equals of the men. We plainly see [women] being good FOR FULL COVERAGE FROM THE TELEVISION CRITICS ASSOCIATION PRESS TOUR, FOLLOW AMBER: @AMBERATMETRO.

at their job beginning with the first episode. The men and the women screw up in roughly the exact same way.”

Star Jeff Daniels, who plays news anchor Will McAvoy, stood by the creative decisions made by his boss. “We come on with these big warts and flaws,” Daniels says of Sorkin’s characters, “and I love that about his writing. Emily [Mortimer’s] character is established as smart, and then she keeps screwing up. That’s one of the things that Will loves about her.”

One thing some critics don’t particularly like about Will is his habit of pontificating.

Though grand monologues have always been a hallmark of Sorkin’s work (from “The West Wing” to “The Social Network”), the writer has been accused of using Will as a mouthpiece for his own strong opinions. “I want to make a clear distinction between me and the characters that are in the show,” Sorkin told re-

“I get pumped full of information by people who do know what they are talking about so that I can find the point of friction and write an episode,” he said, but admitted, “Political opinions that I have are at the level of sophistication of someone who has a BFA in Musical Theater.”

doing much these days, but we just assumed that was because he’s Macaulay Culkin. The National Enquirer, however, claims that the actor has spent the past few years in a heroin hangover that’s only getting worse. “He’s been hooked for a year and a half, and his drug of choice is either heroin or oxycodone,� a source tells the paper (which, yes, we read — you’re welcome). “Mac is surrounding himself with junkies and lowlifes. It’s a real tragedy.�

Despite interventions, a friend tells the paper he’s not listening, hence the photos of him looking gaunt and disheveled: “His closest friends

fear that he’ll overdose or his heart will explode. If he doesn’t get help and enter rehab now, he could be dead in six months.�

Culkin’s team, however, says there’s no truth to the story. “The report ‌ is not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious,â€? his publicist tells E! Online.

If Culkin is struggling with addiction, we sincerely hope he gets the professional help he needs. If he isn’t, well, we still sincerely hope he gets the professional help he needs — starting with a shave and ending with a trip above ground.

Metro incorrectly stated in an article on sweeteners that monk fruit extract, the zerocalorie sweetening agent found in Nectresse Sweetener, is a sugar alcohol. Monk fruit extract

is in fact a natural sweetening ingredient that comes from the monk fruit. The sugar alcohol used in Nectresse is erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol that is naturally fermented from sugars and found in many vegetables and fruits.

Under their red carpet swag, celebrities are sporting pretty stylish bodies, too. Well, at least the ones who alert photographers that they’re heading to the beach.

1. Eva Longoria was spotted at a paddle-board lesson in Los Angeles earlier this month.

2. Audrina Patridge has made a career out of looking good in a bikini. The former “Hills� star is now a frequent pool party host (really — this is a job).

3. Mischa Barton played it safe on a Jet Ski in Miami over the winter.

4. Lance Bass, you’re tearin’ up our heart! The former ‘NSYNC member was looking good in Miami earlier this year.

5. Hugh Jackman surfaces every summer with Wolverineapproved abs.

6. David Beckham might just be the best thing to ever lay on a boogie board.

Chick-fil-A: Let’s give ’em something to bawk about The reason for boycotting the idiotically named Chickfil-A goes beyond their president’s private beliefs. They are actively spreading intolerance within our society.

Do you want your children being given religious CDROMs in their happy meals, as Chick-fil-A did in 2005?

(Their religion, of course, not necessarily yours.)

Should you support a company that gives millions to hate-peddling traditional “family” groups trying to legalize discrimination?

No one in their right mind who is non-Christian, non-white, female or gay — or anyone who CARES about anybody who belongs to any of those groups — should

give a penny to this hateful organization. Maybe we can’t legally keep them out of our towns, but we can certainly hurt them economically!

RICHARD FEINBERG, VIA E-MAIL

Please do your homework.

Your coverage of the ChickFil-A protest/support leaves out the fact that Dan Cathy donates millions of dollars to the American Family Association, an organization listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and one that has called for LGBT people to be criminalized and imprisoned in America, and one that spent $25,000 lobbying Congress in favor of the Ugandan legislation quaintly nicknamed “Kill the Gays” bill.

Protesting Chick-fil-A is not about Dan Cathy’s right to free speech. Lots of people say much worse things. The protest is against him using his wealth to support the literal criminalization, imprisonment and execution of LGBT people in the world.

It’s a despicable position, and you do the world a great disservice by failing to report it accurately.

don’t agree with your views.

This country was founded on religious beliefs and freedoms, and no one is telling you to frequent this place.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Instead of being given to you directly, a great opportunity might come your way through an intermediary. Be ready and prepared to expand upon what it offers.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Your ideas and those of your mate’s might not be too far apart; so instead of acting on your opinions alone, attempt to merge the two. It should prove to be the better way to go.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. If you look out only for your own interests, you’ll be putting limitations on what you can achieve. When you include others in your thoughts, greater rewards for everybody can be realized.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. The secret to success is to be a doer instead of merely a contemplator. If you fearlessly face your adversaries, you’ll find them to be paper dragons.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Several important interrelated situations can be satisfactorily finalized if you handle them in an orderly fashion instead of doing things in fits and starts.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Utilize your inquisitive faculties to more readily acquire valuable knowledge.

What previously confused you will now become crystal clear.

MARYANN RUGGIERO, VIA E-MAIL

I’m confused by what the head of Chick-fil-A wants our country to adopt as our definition of marriage and by just how far he desires us to go in our quest for biblical correctness. Some of the stories in the Bible describe men with hundreds of wives.

Is that the “biblical definition of marriage” he’s referring to? Everyone needs to realize that there is an awful lot of crazy stuff in the Bible — people living for hundreds of years, Jonah living in the belly of a whale, Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt, etc.

But the most important thing everyone needs to realize is that the laws of our country are not now, and never have been, based on Bible stories.

ADAM LEVEILLE, VIA E-MAIL

I wish that Ms. Quinn and other mayors and protestors would stop this nonsense of trying to shut down the Chick-fil-A food establishment. This is unconstitutional. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs and opinions. You cannot run someone out of the city just because they

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. Being unrealistically concerned about your financial affairs could cause you to make some bad decisions. You’ll work things out more constructively if you stay focused.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. A close friend of yours who has a good track record is likely to be the purveyor of some valuable information. Have him or her repeat it over and over again until you fully understand it.

Aries March 21-April 19. Even though you are anxious to resume control over an endeavor, it behooves you not to make any changes if things are running smoothly. Leave well enough alone.

Taurus April 20-May 20. You need to be open-minded and flexible, just in case some unexpected changes need to be made in order to right a foundering situation.

Gemini May 21-June 20. Making the most out of each new development as it occurs should help stabilize your position. Even if your strategy could never be a permanent fix, all it has to do is serve your present needs.

Cancer June 21-July 22. If you’ve been helping others advance an important endeavor, stay the course regardless of a change in leadership.

Little Baby’s goes from peddling ice cream by trike to an Ice Cream World Headquarters in East Kensington

W

hen Pete Angevine, Jeffrey Ziga and Martin Brown decided to start a small-batch ice cream business just over one year ago, they didn’t expect it to become a full-time job. “It definitely started as a hobby,” recalls Angevine. “We were all busy with other things, and this was something funny to do on weekends.”

“It started as a joke,” adds Ziga. “Maybe we’d make a few bucks, maybe we wouldn’t.”

But people loved the joke so much it turned into a lucrative career. Up until this March, Little Baby’s pushed product from one modified tricycle they pedaled from event to event. But

one tricycle became four, and a team of three became a staff of more than 10. As of last week, four local grocery stores (including West Philly’s Mariposa Co-op and Northern Liberties’ The Foodery) carry Little Baby’s pints. And now there’s the shop, opening Friday, which they call Little Baby’s Ice Cream World Headquarters.

Brown, the man behind the ice cream machine, refers to ice cream as “a blank canvas.”

“We realized we could do whatever we wanted with it,” he says. “It became a new medium for us.” With flavors such as Earl Grey Sriracha, Peanut Butter Maple Tarragon and Balsamic Banana, Little Baby’s approaches ice cream like

Salvador Dali approached painting: a space where the imagination can run wild.

“Ice cream is such an iconic American thing — everyone has a certain feeling about it, which makes it a good platform for being subversive,” says Angevine. “We try to provide new, weird experiences that broaden people’s worldviews and make life more exciting.”

“We want to be confrontational,” adds Ziga. “We want people to feel confused and happy when they discover we don’t serve plain chocolate, but have all these weird flavors.”

Quoted

“We’re a new generation of people that care about Kensington— its past and its future.

We’re a new, neon, trapezoidal piece to a complex, rusty, venerated puzzle. ”

Never heard of National Watermelon Day? Neither had City Tap House beer steward Andy Farrell, but that didn’t stop him from turning it into a drinking holiday. “We were just kind of looking at the calendar last summer and it just popped out of nowhere on me,” he says.

“With the proliferation of some watermelon beers in the area, I just thought, we’re a bar — let’s do it. Any reason to put a beer in someone’s hand, I support.”

Stop by Friday for seasonal cocktails ($5) as well as plenty of watermelon beers, which Farrell says are more refreshing than cloying.

“The watermelon acts as an accent to the beer,” he says.

“It’s not like a watermelon Sour Patch Kid — it’s a nice, fresh sweetness on the end.”

As for the watermeloneating contest, Farrell has a tested strategy: “Just put your head right into it and go to town. Don’t try to dissect it. It’s a watermelon-eating contest at a bar, not a fashion show.”

‘Travels’ into darkness

SHERVIN LAINEZ

With their third album, Jukebox the Ghost hardly play it ‘Safe’ Singer on losses that led a usually peppy trio to tackle weighty themes

T

he first half of the new Jukebox the Ghost album is as jaunty and upbeat as ever, but later in the journey of “Safe Travels” the band trade in some of their certifiably danceable hooks in favor of deeper, darker introspection.

“To me, all good pop music — even good, sunny pop music — has a real hint of sadness going on,” says guitarist and singer Tommy Siegel. “If you’re all bubbles and happiness all the time, it doesn’t really resonate with people.”

Siegel says that most of the songs on “Safe Travels” were written before the band actually assembled to record. But when pianist and vocalist Ben Thornewill lost his grandfather and drummer Jesse Kristin lost his father, both to lung cancer, it gave the latter half of the album a heightened emotional power. Tracks such as “Dead,” “Adulthood” and “Ghosts in Empty Houses” deal with weighty fears of mortality previously untouched in the band’s first two releases.

“It is more vulnerable,” Siegel says of the new album.

“It’s a lot more personal than we have been in the past.”

“To me, all good pop music — even good, sunny pop music — has a hint of sadness going on. If you’re all bubbles and happiness all the time, it doesn’t really resonate with people.” TOMMY SIEGEL material at the music festival juggernaut that is Bonnaroo, Jukebox the Ghost dive headfirst into the type of thoroughly demanding tour that now defines them. Their New York City show sold out months before. (Their Saturday show at Morgan’s Pier in Philly is free.)

“It sold out so far in advance, that there was never really any way for someone who wasn’t already a huge fan of our band to get a ticket,” says Siegel of the New York gig. “So that’s really exciting to me — that we’re going to get on stage, have a sold-out crowd and it’s going to be filled with only people who are really on top of the band.”

Three events this weekend: Michael Phelps has just two chances for medals left in his storied Olympic career.

On Friday he swims in the 100-meter backstroke finals, where he was the top qualifier. Then on Saturday he swims in his last race, taking the butterfly leg of the 4x100 medley relay.

The knockout stages in women’s soccer get under way with the U.S. taking on New Zealand early Friday morning.

The marquee event of the track competition comes on just the second day. Heats for the men’s 100-meter sprint begin on Saturday, with the final at 4:50 p.m. EST on Sunday. Usain Bolt and countryman Yohan Blake are the favorites, with Americans Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay contenders.

Overheard at the Games For the gold CASSANDRA GARRISON CASSANDRA.GARRISON@METRO.US

Y

ou can’t go more than two steps in London without hearing someone talking about the Olympics. A week into the games, the city is officially immersed in Olympic culture. It’s in the air, it’s underground, it’s everywhere.

Unfortunately, not every-

one can be in London during this historic time, but Metro has been canvassing the streets, interviewing athletes and coaches, meeting fans and snapping photos of international Olympic mania, so you can feel like you’re in the center of the action.

Here’s a roundup of the best quotes and photos, with plenty of juice about Olympic Village, rivalries between teams and behind-the-scenes moments.

Erica Wu, U.S. table tennis player, on being only 16 and an Olympian: “I think it doesn’t matter how old you are. I think how it’s amazing to be here.

Everyone in the village respects everyone else because we are all athletes.”

Tim Morehouse, U.S. fencer, on nominating his fellow fencer Mariel Zagunis as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony: “She is a two-time Olympic champion, the greatest fencer in our sport’s history.

I just felt like this was the time for her to shine.

She was in a dead-tie with another athlete. It was a man.”

– Cassandra Garrison is covering the Olympics live from London. Follow her at @CassieAtMetro.

Kelly-Ann Baptiste, track and field athlete for Trinidad and Tobago, on whether she socializes with the competition during the Games: “I don’t really speak to a lot of them. I say ‘Hi.’ I’m cordial. But to say that they’re my best friends — they’re not — and that’s just being honest.

But I think we have a lot of respect, and we respect each other enough to have conversations.”

Kerri Walsh, U.S. beach volleyball player, on relationships forming between athletes: “The Olympic Village is very electric. The first couple of days it’s kinda like the first days of high school. Everyone is a little awkward, checking each other out.

When you put boys and girls together, you’re going to have some couplings.”

Angelo Taylor, U.S. track & field athlete, on whether Olympians are partying: “I’m trying to go for an unprecedented third Olympic gold in the 400-meter hurdle. I’m very focused, so no partying for me until after the job is done.”

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES

The games

Tony Azevedo, U.S. water polo player, on rooms and the food: “Usually, you get a roommate. For some reason, maybe because I’m the captain, they gave me a single.

The food is phenomenal.

You walk into the dining hall and there’s like 10 little areas: India, Halal, Africa. For me, being a foodie, I love it.

There’s sushi in there. I’m the happiest kid on Earth.

You have to watch what you eat, though, you can’t eat too much.” ... and on whether athletes worry about sleeping on an unfamiliar mattress: “That’s actually a big problem with our team. We have ... big guys on our team. I’m actually the smallest guy at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds.”

FINANCING DONE RIGHT

She did it — again.

Rebecca Soni, who set a world record in the 200-meter breaststroke semifinal heat on Wednesday night, struck gold Thursday in London. Not only did she win the gold, she broke her own world record turning in a time of 2:19.59.

“It’s been my goal since I was a little kid to go under 2:20,” Soni told USA Today.

“That’s what my coach told me: ‘You’re going to be the first woman to go under 2:20.’”

The victory comes on the heels of a silver medal finish in the 100-meter breaststroke earlier this week, an event she was heavily favored in.

But the 200 is Soni’s best event — she won gold in the 200 at the 2008 Beijing Games — and the one she concentrated the hardest on in her preOlympic training.

Soni led wire to wire in the

Phelps wins 20th medal by besting Lochte in 200 IM SWIMMING. The marquee event in men’s swimming went to Michael Phelps over American rival Ryan Lochte.

“Cool to add to my résumé,” Phelps said.

Phelps won his 16th career gold medal (20th overall) in the 200-meter individual medley, an event he also won in Beijing. But it was Lochte, the defending world champion and world record-holder, who many favored to win. In the end, Lochte came up .63 seconds short and took home the silver medal instead.

than 15 in any event. Komova had a chance to overtake Douglas on floor — but while she did better on the routine, it wasn’t enough to overcome the difference. METRO

American Aly Raisman got a small dash of heartbreak herself Thursday after bumping her teammate Jordyn Wieber from the all-around competition days earlier.

Raisman finished tied with Allya Mustafina for bronze — but instead of giving out two medals, the tiebreaker reverts to highest execution scores and throws out difficulty. Raisman came up short. “I think maybe it’s a bit harsh and controversial not to give Aly a medal,�

American girls have a new hero to look up to and she goes by the nickname “the Flying Squirrel.�

Gabrielle Douglas took gymnastics gold in the women’s individual all-around Thursday in a competition she led from start to finish.

Douglas bested two Russians, Viktoria Komova and Allya Mustafina, to take America’s third straight gold in the event. Carly Patterson, an acknowledged inspiration for Douglas, and Nastia Liukin won gold in Athens and Beijing respectively.

Douglas was the favorite on competition day, but she wasn’t even the most likely winner on her own team heading into London. Teammate Jordyn Wieber is the reigning world champion in the individual all-around and was expected to battle it out for gold with
