7<A3<A7B7D3 I’LL COME right to the point: What sort of oblivious, insensitive, self-involved kind of mentality does it take to refer to the people who keep our streets and sidewalks free of the candy wrappers, cigarette butts, used condoms, etc. that the rest of us casually toss away as “well intentioned, blankfaced employees who pick up trash from downtown sidewalks� (“Road to Petition,� Cover story, Aug. 24)? Where to begin? Well, first of all, they are anything but blank-faced. They laugh. They make jokes. Second, they do a job that you or I wouldn’t take on a bet. And finally, they are handicapped. They didn’t get all the lucky breaks that we did. My suggestion is that you grab a broom

and dustpan and go out and join them for a day or two. And, by the way, does the Weekly actually have an editor? You know, someone who reads an article over and checks it for factual mistakes, misspellings and/or offensive language BEFORE it goes to press? Just wondering. G.A. Hynes Santa Cruz

FROM THE WEB

7<4:/;;/B=@G [RE: “Go The F*ck Away,� Cover story, Aug. 24] I cannot believe that this was published. This is offensive and inflammatory, and

encourages readers to be aggressive and cruel to canvassers on the street. This is like encouraging people to say “Fuck off � to someone in a retail establishment that asks if you need help with anything or suggests a product from the aisle you’re looking at. The main article itself points out that most of the folks that are canvassing are out there for legitimate causes and are just trying to make ends meet and make the world a little better at the same time. And to think that all this anger and resentment is being directed toward people for simply asking you a question as you walk by? And if you think this won’t impact how people react, let me tell you that you are wrong. I have canvassed and run canvassing operations. I have gotten yelled at and chewed out by people because of things that their local government did or because of something they saw on FOX that had nothing to do with my cause; and this “poem� and article means that some other person who is trying to make a living and make their community better for people like YOU is going to be told to “Fuck off !� or worse. So the authors can kindly go fuck themselves for being such selfish, shortsighted ignorant pricks.

We’re 10 years past the Twin Towers attack and still fighting wars in its name. Can we open our eyes in time?

BY TOM HAYDEN

A

AFTER witnessing the first jetliner crash into the Twin Towers on that Sept. 11 morning, the wife and 7-yearold daughter of a friend of mine fled to their nearby Manhattan loft and ran to the roof to look around. From there, they saw the second plane explode in a rolling ball of flaming fuel across the rooftops. It felt like the heat of a fiery furnace. Not long after, the girl was struck with blindness. She rarely left her room. Her parents worked with therapists for months, trying various techniques including touch and visualization, before the young girl finally recovered her sight. “The interesting new development,� my friend reports, “is that she no longer remembers very much, which she told me when I asked her if she would be willing to speak with you.� That’s what happened to America itself 10 years ago this Sunday on 9/11, though it might be charged that

many of us were blinded by privilege and hubris long before. But 9/11 produced a spasm of blind rage arising from a pre-existing blindness to the way much of the world sees us. That in turn led to the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Afghanistan again, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia—in all, a dozen “shadow wars,� according to The New York Times. In Bob Woodward’s crucial book, Obama’s Wars, there were already secret and lethal counterterrorism operations active in more than 60 countries as of 2009. From Pentagon think tanks came a new military doctrine of the “Long War,� a counterinsurgency vision arising from the failed Phoenix program of the Vietnam era, projecting U.S. open combat and secret wars over a span of 50 to 80 years, or 20 future presidential terms. The taxpayer costs of this Long War, also shadowy, would be in the many trillions of dollars and paid for not from current budgets, but by generations born after the 2000 election

Fog of war As to American casualties, the figure now is beyond twice those who died in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., on 9/11. The casualties are rarely totaled, but they are broken down into three categories by the Pentagon and Congressional Research Service. There is Operation Enduring Freedom, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan but, in keeping with the Long War definition, also covers Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Second, there is Operation Iraqi Freedom and its successor, Operation New Dawn, the name adopted after September 2010 for the 47,000 U.S. advisers, trainers and counterterrorism units still in Iraq. The scope of these latter operations includes Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. These territories include not only Muslim majorities but also, according

to former Centcom Commander Tommy Franks, 68 percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and the passageway for 43 percent of petroleum exports, another American geo-interest that was heavily denied in official explanations. (See Michael Klare’s Blood and Oil and Antonia Juhasz’s The Bush Agenda for more on this.) A combined 6,197 Americans were killed in these wars as of Aug. 16, 2011, in the name of avenging 9/11, a day when 2,996 Americans died. The total American wounded has been 45,338, and rising at a rapid rate. The total number rushed by Medivac out of these violent zones was 56,432. That’s a total of 107,996 Americans. And the active-duty military-suicide rate for the decade is at a record high of 2,276, not counting veterans or those who have tried unsuccessfully to take their own lives. In fact, the suicide rate for last year was greater than the American death toll in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

Sticker Shock of War Among the most bizarre symptoms of the blindness is the tendency of most deficit hawks to become big spenders on Iraq and Afghanistan, at least until lately. The direct costs of the war, which is to say those unfunded costs in each year’s budget, now come to $1.23 trillion, or $444.6 billion for Afghanistan and $791.4 billion for Iraq, according to the National Priorities Project. But that’s another sleight-of-hand, when one considers the so-called indirect costs like long-term veterans’ care. Leading economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes recently testified to Congress that their previous estimate of $4-6 trillion in ultimate costs was conservative. The president himself expressed “sticker shock,� according to Woodward’s book, when presented with cost projections during his internal review of 2009. The Long War casts a shadow not 3

Blinded by the Fright

of George W. Bush. The deficit spending on the Long War would invisibly force the budgetary crisis now squeezing our states, cities and most Americans. Besides the future being mortgaged in this way, civil liberties were thought to require a shrinking proper to a state of permanent and secretive war, and so the Patriot Act was promulgated. All this happened after 9/11 through democratic default and denial. Who knows what future might have followed if Al Gore, with a half-million popular-vote margin over George Bush, had prevailed in the U.S. Supreme Court instead of losing by the vote of a single justice? In any event, only a single member of Congress, Barbara Lee of BerkeleyOakland, voted against the war authorization, and only a single senator, Russ Feingold, voted against the Patriot Act. Were we not blinded by what happened on 9/11? Are we still? Let’s look at the numbers we almost never see.

only over our economy and future budgets, but our unborn children’s future as well. This is no accident, but the result of deliberate lies, obfuscations and scandalous accounting techniques. We are victims of an information warfare strategy waged deliberately by the Pentagon. As Gen. Stanley McChrystal said much too candidly in February 2010, “This is not a physical war of how many people you kill or how much ground you capture, how many bridges you blow up. This is all in the minds of the participants.� David Kilcullen, once the top counterinsurgency adviser to Gen. David Petraeus, defines “international information operations as part of counterinsurgency.� Quoted in Counterinsurgency in 2010, Kilcullen said this military officer’s goal is to achieve a “unity of perception management measures targeting the increasingly influential spectators’ gallery of the international community.� This new “war of perceptions,� relying on naked media manipulation such as the treatment of media commentators as “message amplifiers� but also hightechnology information warfare, only highlights the vast importance of the ongoing WikiLeaks whistle-blowing campaign against the global secrecy establishment. Consider just what we have learned about Iraq and Afghanistan because of WikiLeaks: tens of thousands of civilian casualties in Iraq never before disclosed; instructions to U.S. troops not to investigate torture when conducted by U.S. allies; the existence of Task Force 373, carrying out night raids in Afghanistan; the CIA’s secret army of 3,000 mercenaries; private parties by DynCorp featuring trafficked boys as entertainment; and an Afghan vice president carrying $52 million in a suitcase. The efforts of the White House to prosecute Julian Assange and persecute Pfc. Bradley Manning in military prison should be of deep concern to anyone believing in the public’s right to know. The news that this is not a physical war but mainly one of perceptions will not be received well among American military families or Afghan children, which is why a responsible citizen must rebel first and foremost against The Official Story. That simple act of resistance necessarily leads to study

as part of critical practice, which is as essential to the recovery of a democratic self and democratic society. Read, for example, this early martial line of Rudyard Kipling, the English poet of the white man’s burden: “When you’re left wounded on Afghanistan’s plains and the women come out to cut up what remains/ just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains/And go to your God like a soldier.� Years later, after Kipling’s beloved son was killed in World War I and his remains never recovered, the poet wrote: “If any question why we died / Tell them because our fathers lied.�

A Hope for Peace The military occupation of our minds will continue until many more Americans become familiar with the strategies and doctrines in play during the Long War. Not enough Americans in the peace movement are literate about counterinsurgency, counterterrorism and the debates about “the clash of civilizations�—i.e., the West versus the Muslim world. The writings of Andrew Bacevich, a Vietnam veteran and retired Army lieutenant colonel whose own son was killed in Iraq in 2007, is one place to begin. Bacevich, a professor at Boston University, has written The New American Militarism and edited The Long War, both worth absorbing. For the military point of view, there is the 2007 Army-Marine Counterinsurgency Field Manual developed by Gen. Petraeus, with its stunning resurrection of the Phoenix model from Vietnam, in which thousands of Vietnamese were tortured or killed before media outcry and Senate hearings shut it down. Not enough is being written about how to end the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but experts with much to say are the University of Michigan’s Scott Atran (Talking to the Enemy) and former UK envoy Sherard Cowper Coles (Cables from Kabul). Also there is my own 2007 book, Ending the War in Iraq, which sketches a strategy of grass-roots pressure against the pillars of the policy (the pillars necessary for the war are public opinion, trillions of dollars, thousands of available troops, and global alliances; as those fall, the war must be resolved by diplomacy). The more we know about the Long

11

Mind the Gap Obama’s withdrawal decision upset the military but also most peace advocates he presumably wanted to win back. The differences revealed a serious gap in the inside-outside strategy applied by many progressives. After a week of hard debate over the president’s plan, for example, Sen. John Kerry invited Tim Carpenter, leader of the heavily grass-roots Progressive Democrats of America, into his office for a chat. Kerry had slowly reversed his pro-war position on Afghanistan, and said he thought Carpenter would be pleased with the then-secret Obama decision on troop withdrawals. From Kerry’s insider view, the number 33,000 was a very heavy lift, supported mainly by Vice President Joe Biden but not the national security mandarins. From Carpenter’s point of view, 33,000 would seem a disappointing too little, too late. While it was definite progress toward a phased withdrawal, bridging the differences between the Democratic liberal establishment and the idealistic progressive networks will remain an ordeal through the 2012 elections. These elections present an historic opportunity to awaken from the blindness inflicted by 9/11. Diminishing the U.S. combat role by escalating the drone wars and Special Operations could repeat the failure of Richard Nixon in Vietnam. Continued spending on the Long War could repeat the disaster of Lyndon Johnson. A gradual winding down may not reap the budget benefits or political reward Obama needs in time. With peace voters making a critical difference in numerous electoral battlegrounds, however, Obama might speed up the “ebbing,� plausibly announce a peace dividend in the trillions of dollars, and transfer those funds to energy conservation and America’s state and local crises. His answer to the deficit crisis will have to include a sharp reduction in war funding, and his answer to the Tea Party Republicans will have to be a Peace Party. 0

This peace bloc deserves more. It won’t happen overnight, but gradually we are wearing down the pillars of the war. In February of this year, Rep. Barbara Lee passed a unanimous resolution at the Democratic National Committee calling for a rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan and transfer of funds to job creation. The White House approved of the resolution. Then 205 House members, including a majority of Democrats, voted for a resolution that almost passed calling for the same rapid withdrawal. Even the AFL-CIO executive board, despite a long history of militarism, adopted a policy opposing Afghanistan. The president himself is quoted in Obama’s Wars as opposing his military advisors, demanding an exit strategy and musing that he “can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.� In the end, the president decided to withdraw 33,000

American troops from Afghanistan by next summer, and continue “steady� withdrawals of the rest (68,000) from combat roles by 2014.

War doctrine, the more we understand the need for a long peace movement. The pillars of the peace movement, in my experience and reading, are the networks of local progressives in hundreds of communities across the United States. Most of them are citizen volunteers, always immersed in the crises of the moment, nowadays the economic recession and unemployment. Look at them from the bottom up, and not the top down, and you will see: * the people who marched in the hundreds of thousands during the Iraq War; * those who became the enthusiastic consumer base for Michael Moore’s documentaries and the Dixie Chicks’ anti-Bush lyrics; * the first to support Howard Dean when he opposed the Iraq war, and the stalwarts who formed the antiwar base for Barack Obama; * the online legions of MoveOn who raised millions of dollars and turned out thousands of focused bloggers; * the voters who dumped a Republican Congress in 2006 on the Iraq issue, when the party experts said it was impossible; * the millions who elected Obama president by an historic flood of voluntary enthusiasm and get-out-thevote drives. * the majorities who still oppose the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and want military spending reversed.

The Great Santa Cruz Milk-In A goat-loving gang prepares to demonstrate for the right to raw BY JACOB PIERCE

I

IN PROTEST against a state and federal crackdown on unpasteurized milk, the Santa Cruz Food Rights Coalition will be milking goats and passing out cups of the superfresh stuff near the Downtown Farmers Market this Wednesday, Sept. 7. Protesters will gather at a secret location downtown, put their goats on leashes and embark on a “miniparade� down side streets to the market at 3pm. “We’re going to have 20 to 30 volunteers. So we’re hoping to have a pretty big event—plus the goats,� says Mali McGee, co-owner of Milk Farm Mama and one of the event organizers. What’s got their goat? The California Department of Food and Agriculture and the federal Food and Drug Administration have it out baaaad for producers and distributors of raw milk, from Amish farmers to hippies. Evergreen Acres Goat Farm in San Jose received a “cease and desist� letter from the Santa Clara County District Attorney earlier this year. Some distributors, like the Rawesome Food Co-op in Venice Beach, have been shut down in largescale government raids.

Pete Kennedy of the Farm-toConsumer Legal Defense Fund fully supports the Milk-In. “It’s a safe and nutritious product,� says Kennedy of raw milk. While the FDA cites health concerns and possible bacteria, such as listeria and salmonella, Kennedy suspects, like McGee, that the crackdown is due to pressure from big dairy producers who don’t want competition. At the Santa Cruz Milk-In, attendees and confused passersby will be encouraged to sign letters to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff and District Attorney saying they wouldn’t want raids of any Santa Cruz raw milk farms. “The milk that comes from the store is from a cow that I don’t know,� says McGee. As to the exact location of the milk-in, planners haven’t made it that far yet. Dustin Jensen, another Milk Farm Mama co-owner, hopes they find a nice lawn or parking lot near the market on Wednesday. “We’ll probably just go there and find a good spot,� he says. “It’s just going to be a lowproduction kind of thing, just a few goats and maybe some sheep.�0

Back With a Fury

The quintessential Santa Cru STORY BY STEVE PALOPO

AS ONE of the most popular punk bands in the mid-’90s Santa Cruz underground scene, Fury 66 is a local legend, and their songs are still remembered today. Just not by their lead singer. Which made their reunion show at the Catalyst this week a bit of a tricky proposition for frontman Joe Clements.

PETE SAPORITO

“I forgot all these fucking lyrics,� says Clements with a laugh. “I’m looking online, going ‘What the fuck was I singing about?’� Keep in mind, it’s been over a decade since Fury broke up. After a wild ride that started in 1993 with a demo tape and included endless lineup changes that kept knocking back the band’s bigger ambitions even as they

conquered the Santa Cruz scene, the band was DOA by Y2K. Clements has moved on to several projects since—including Crucial Unicorn and his current band Black Love—in addition to running a record label and a recording studio. So when the long-discussed reunion finally materialized, he found himself staring down his past life. ¨ %

Sometimes he was kind of impressed, even a bit intimidated. “I sing a little different now, for better or worse,� he says. “When I’m singing these [Fury songs], I’m like ‘I crammed so many words in there, and I’m going so fast and singing in such a high range, I’m never going to be able to do this!’� Other times he just cracks himself up. “I’m just having fun with it, kind of being goofy, like ‘Wow, man, it’s funny how much you kind of grow, and look back.’ I don’t regret anything, but it’s kind of silly some of the shit I thought was important back then,� he says. And yet Fury clearly left its mark on him, as it did on the audiences that flocked to the band’s shows in

Santa Cruz. With an original lineup that featured Clements along with Russ Rankin and Rye Crowen on guitar, Tom Kennedy on bass and Aaron Sonnenshein on drums, Fury 66 quickly found itself in a strange game of push and pull with another Santa Cruz band, Good Riddance, which signed with Fat Wreck Chords—the rough equivalent of punk superstardom at the time. At one point, three members of Fury 66 were also in Good Riddance, and Rankin eventually left Fury, certainly the most devastating of what would be a long string of lineup changes. Clements is philosophical about it now; he and Rankin remain friends and co-own Lorelei Records. “For obvious reasons, he had ¨

to focus on Good Riddance,� says Clements of Rankin’s involvement in Fury. “When that all went down, we got another guitar player. Then when we were kind of searching, going back and forth with different guitar players, Russ would come in and fill in for a couple shows. Then later on he helped do some co-producing on some stuff.� Watching its sister band blow up had a definite effect on Fury and the members’ view of success. “I think we were trying too hard sometimes to get it. We had Good Riddance to look up to. They got signed to a good label. We never got the label support we really were seeking until the end, and then we were too tired to accept anything.

It was funny—a few months after we broke up, we had a few contracts come in the mail from some pretty reputable labels. It was like too little, too late,� Clements says. By the end, Clements and Crowen were the only original members left, and finally called it quits out of sheer exhaustion. But in the meantime, Fury recorded three albums, including their excellent debut No Perfect Machine. They did multiple U.S. tours, but never found the same level of popularity that they enjoyed in their hometown. “We were way fortunate in Santa Cruz, and I think that was because there was no audience/band separation. We were fans of the scene as well,� he says. “It was a time people

were just excited to go to shows. It was definitely a reality check when we went on the road by ourselves. Some spots we hit all the time were good, but nothing like Santa Cruz.� Clements had been talking with various members of the band over the last couple of years about getting together for a reunion, but schedules were impossible to coordinate. Finally, he decided ‘if we don’t do it now, we’re not going to do it,’ and rounded up members from various eras: Jeff Frady, Micky Dunegan, Jon Cattivera (who Clements also played with in Crucial Unicorn) and Joe Fish. The show is a benefit for Grind Out Hunger, a non-profit created by skateboarders to combat child hunger, and will also donate money

to the fight against multiple sclerosis. Clements has worked out the kinks and has the old songs down, and he’s currently in the process of remastering No Perfect Machine. Now that he’s reconnected with his Fury years, he’s thinking about that remarkable ’90s Santa Cruz scene again, and is perfectly willing to admit he misses it. “I don’t want to be that old guy,� he says, “but those were the days.� FURY 66 with At Risk and Good Neighbor Policy $ AObc`ROg '^[ Ob 1ObOZgab OZZ ^`]QSSRa PS\STWb 5`W\R =cb 6c\US` O\R [cZbW^ZS aQZS`]aWa `SaSO`QV

journey through the afterlife in ‘HereAfterHere.’

Suite Hereafter A multimedia meditation on life and death returns after last year’s sold-out run BY TRACI HUKILL

A

AS OPENING night for HereAfterHere approached last September, choreographer Tandy Beal and her composer and husband, Jon Scoville, were prepared for the worst. “We thought we’d have 25 people in the audience!â€? Beal says, laughing. Instead, their multimedia production about the afterlife—a mĂŠlange of dance, soundscapes, film, magic act and humor—sold out three performances, raised $5,000 for Hospice of Santa Cruz and got people talking about what Beal calls “the last taboo.â€? “We realized we struck a nerve,â€? she says. “There are 77 million Baby Boomers right now, and we’re all looking at this issue. So this is kind of an amazing group meditation, in a way, using the metaphor of art so that nobody’s excluded.â€? The production is extravagantly spread across multiple media. There is Beal’s hand-selected cadre of dancers, a mix of ages, ethnic backgrounds and body types, all moving to the choreographer’s signature mix of dynamism and grace. Scoville’s intense electronic music—sometimes ethereal, sometimes brooding—is a constant. Actors and a magician appear onstage and engage in darkly humorous repartee. Haunting film clips by Denise Gallent alternate with video interviews about what happens after we die (once again this year, a mobile studio parked outside the theater will offer attendees the chance to philosophize on camera). And for those who respond

best to listening to people talk, the Saturday performance is preceded by a 3pm symposium, “Pondering the Imponderables.� Beal says the mix offers audiences different ways to tune in. “On a complex subject you need to have it running on different sensory channels. So it moves from text to pure movement to visuals to humor,� she says. “Humor’s another channel. Sometimes humor takes you into something that seriousness can’t.� A few things will change this year. The company was beset by two injuries and a pregnancy, so there will be personnel changes. The cell phone number exchange at intermission will be laid to rest. And a new magician, Calvin Ku, will join the cast in a crucial role. “That was the central metaphor to me: could we look at this in a state of wonder the way we look at magicians?� Beal says. “This world is so extraordinary that chances are whatever happens next— whether infinite blackness or whatever else—it’s going to be extraordinary.� HEREAFTERHERE: A SELFGUIDED TOUR OF ETERNITY `c\a 4`W Ac\ AS^b ' %(! ^[ 4`W AOb O\R !^[ Ac\ Ob 1OP`WZZ] 1`]QYS` BVSObS` $# A]_cSZ 2` /^b]a BWQYSba ! !# Ob aO\bOQ`chbWQYSba Q][ ]` &!

/ >:3B6=@/ =4 >7@/B3A PIRACY, as well as beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Once you start reading Laurie R. King’s Pirate King, prepare to feel surrounded by buccaneers. Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are back, this time on the high seas as well as in dry dock as Mary is shuffled off by a dismissive Holmes to look into low crimes associated with even lower art—the English silent film industry. Some rather highly placed peers have invested in Randolph Fflytte, whose last three movies have been flops. Worse still, where his productions go, crime follows. Mary Russell is sent in the guise of an “assistant’s assistant� to oversee prima donnas while she discreetly looks into the nefarious goings-on associated with Fflytte films. Writing as Mary Russell, King is having as much fun as her readers. Pirate King is the eleventh Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes adventure, and Santa Cruz resident King, whose books routinely make the New York Times Bestseller list, builds what proves to be a very clever and complicated literary engine entirely out of snappy dialogue, brisk action and the engaging voice of Mary Russell. Russell provides a pleasingly grounded contrast to the hypercompetence of Sherlock Holmes. Surrounded by pretend pirates, megalomaniac mothers, pampered daughters and temperamental men of dubious talent and intent, Russell’s job is to keep her wits when all about her have lost theirs. King knows when to make the danger real and when to bring on the laughs. She sees the comic nature of those who are keenly unaware of their own self-absorption. Pirate King is as intelligent as it is entertaining; you get pirates of all stripes and some though-provoking perspectives on piracy itself. You’ll get as much and more from King herself; you can count on her to make you think as often as she makes you laugh. The book may be about pirates, but the writer is truly the treasure.

With a name like FOIL Method (which refers to the algebraic method for multiplying two binomials), you could mistake the local instrumental band for one of those ’90s-era math rock outfits. But this band reaches for something more expansive and contemporary, specializing in progressive rock leavened with pop melodicism and elements of electronic music. FOIL Method gives its songs the room to stretch into extended grooves that evolve into full-bore instrumental rave-ups, demonstrating an appreciation for sweeping melodic shifts and insistent, throbbing rhythms missed by many contemporary acts that attempt to update prog-rock. Moe’s Alley; $5 adv/$9 door; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

Few musicians have earned the level of commercial success that Colin Hay has without becoming a household name. Yet the Scottish-born, Australian-raised, now Californiadwelling musician has managed to stay as humble and true to his roots as his down-to-earth songs. When his former group, Men at Work, broke up in 1985, Hay launched his solo career and has since built an archive of deeply insightful and melodic jams. The troubadour’s bittersweet lyrics about love, life and loss take flight under the full sound trickling from his guitar strings, leaving the audience wondering where he’s hiding the rest of the band. Rio Theatre; $22; 9pm. (Mat Weir)

A seven-piece outfit specializing in Cuban Son music (the early 20thcentury form that gave rise to salsa), Flor De Caùa takes its name from the Caribbean sugarcane flower, an apt descriptor of the band’s buoyant sound. As a top-flight rhythm section lays down the foundation, Flor De Caùa works audiences into a frenzy with tight horn arrangements and powerful four-part vocal harmonies. It’s an all-night dance party, with Bailamos Salsa Rueda kicking the evening off with a lesson in dancing the rueda while DJ Miguelito spins hot salsa tracks between sets. Moe’s Alley; $10; 9pm. (PMD)

A:/72 1:3/D3A This singer-songwriter’s inventive chord progressions and alternating bass lines aren’t the things setting him apart in the country music world. It’s his lyrics. Slaid Cleaves is a staple in the Austin alternative country scene that shaped the careers of Robert Earl Keen, Ben Kweller and Patti Griffin, to name a few. His tunes ring of heartbreak and despair, with grit worthy of Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams and a 21st-century edge. “Where can a good man go crazy?� Cleaves asks in “Tumbleweed Stew,� off his most recent release. “Where can a cowboy get stoned?� Kuumbwa; $25 adv/$29 door; 7:30pm. ( Jacob Pierce)

/;33 16/>;/< Local singer-songwriter Amee Chapman refers to her full-throated take on Americana as “sagebrush soul,� a fitting term for her earthy and textured approach. Proud daughter of a California that has gone astray, Chapman’s working-class background and her respect for the state’s oft-forgotten rural denizens

mark her as a songwriter with a distinctive voice. Chapman shows a refreshing willingness to push musical boundaries, referencing muscular rock & roll, the expansive sonic textures of Wilco and the faded beauty associated with her pal Jolie Holland’s torch songs. Chapman is a brave artist who appears to be poised for bigger things. Crepe Place; $8; 9pm. (PMD)

Someone once said that to write a great song, you don’t try to write about everything; you write about one thing that reflects everything. Master songcrafter Mary Gauthier is a spot-on example of this approach. The Louisiana-born, Nashville-based singer/songwriter combines the openheartedness of a poet, the honesty of a good friend and the humor of someone who has seen worse to create songs that reveal the deeper truths of the human condition. With a topical comfort zone that ranges from rollicking sing-alongs to soulwrenching personal revelations, Gauthier is a unique artist whose wordsmithing abilities are among the finest of our time. Don Quixote’s; $18 adv/$20 door; 7:30pm. (CJ)

The Four Horsemen of Fall Film Evil, pestilence, death and a war horse to ride in on BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

I

IT IS an avant-garde all-stars game this fall as the cinema scene sees new movies by the late Raul Ruiz, Lars von Trier, Pedro Almodóvar, Steven Soderbergh and Gus Van Sant. Ruiz’s perfumed and voluptuous Mysteries of Lisbon goes the Gothic route in that ancient city. The lesser-known Tarsem Singh belongs in the above company thanks to his striking second film, 2006’s The Fall. He has something equally decadent in store for this fall: the gilded, berserk post– Michael Powell fantasy Immortals (Nov. 11)*, a tale of ancient Theseus and the minotaur. Mickey Rourke plays the vengeful Titan called Hyperion, a celestial being now memorialized by a squalid L.A. boulevard. In September the trend of screening cultural events on the big screen—think Santa Cruz 9’s Live at the Met series and events like the Glee movie and Rifftrax Live—steps up a notch with National Theatre Live shows bringing ballet, concerts and opera to the Nickelodeon/ Aptos/Del Mar family of theaters through spring 2012. October sees, as usual, the Pacific Rim Festival in Santa Cruz, with screenings in downtown Santa Cruz, Midtown and Watsonville (Oct. 14-19). The uniquely busy fall season coincides with the World Series, which makes the release of Moneyball (Sept. 23) timely. It’s the true story of a team

CHALK IT UP TO TERMINAL ILLNESS Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper go a little crazy in ‘Restless.’ soon to be known as the San Jose Athletics. Brad Pitt plays general manager Billy Beane, facing the rise of sabermetrics, figuring out how to number-crunch the team’s way into the post-season. The fall traditionally offers a transition period between summer escapism and the heart-wringers of the higher holidays, such as Steven Spielberg’s December film War Horse, which looks to combine Black Beauty and All Quiet on the Western Front. Maladies? We’ve got ’em. Van Sant’s Restless (Sept. 23) stars Mia Wasikowska as a moribund girl who gives a little life lessoning to a downbeat young guy (Henry Hopper). 50/50 (Sept. 30) gives us the reliable Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick) as a newly diagnosed patient facing just those even odds, with

the help of a one-man cheering section composed of Seth Rogen. Catastrophes? Also set there. First is Soderbergh’s presumably pocket-size approach to plague in Contagion (Sept. 9). Worlds collide in von Trier’s most entertaining and melodrama-free work, Melancholia (tentatively scheduled for November). The title refers to more than the state of mind of an encircled bride (Kirsten Dunst, excellent). Melancholia is also the linguistically indefensible name of Earth’s long-lost twin planet. This rogue globe is wobbling out of orbit into what astronomers scientifically call a “Dance of Death� with Terra. Cosmic, cryptic and directed by one melancholy Dane. Meanwhile, in Take Shelter (Oct. 7), a blue-collar foreman (Michael Shannon) estranges himself from

his wife (Tree of Life’s own Eve, Jessica Chastain) with his obsessive preparations for the mother of all tornadoes. On the subject of slightly smaller-scale catastrophes (namely the U.S. electoral system) is the drama The Ides of March (Oct. 7), in which director/star George Clooney follows the problems of a sure-fire candidate embroiled in scandal. Horror? Check. Not counting the sequel and remake department below, there’s Almodóvar’s The Skin I Live In (late October). It sounds like an essay on the topics raised in the classic Eyes Without a Face. An eminent Spanish plastic surgeon tries to create a miracle f lesh while seeking exfoliated guinea pigs. Jim Sheridan’s Dream House (Sept. 30) tells of a couple (Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz) who buys one of those New England murder

HELL ON HORSES Jeremy Irvine tracks down his beloved steed in Steven Spielberg’s World War I pic ‘War Horse.’ houses. Perhaps they’d be safer in Louisiana, where it’s so cheap to make movies? Don’t bet on it: Creature (Sept. 9) is a bayou swamp monster opus, and Shark Night 3D (already out) has plunged a bunch of partying fools into a Louisiana lake: chums who are about to become chum. For utter spine-chill factor, try to top Dolphin Tale 3D, the true story of a prosthetically aided porpoise. The crippled Flipper revenges himself on his cruel tormentors, proving that there are some doors man was not meant to enter, yes? No, not at all, apparently. Now to deal with a mess of sequels and remakes. The most dismaying is Rod Lurie’s screamingly unnecessary new version of Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 definitive study of how violence breeds, Straw Dogs (Sept. 16). Moral: You too, libtards, will defend your home from invaders who want to rape your wife. So much for your much-vaunted civilization, eh? Eh? (This version is shot not in an English village, but, again, in Louisiana.) Happily, Killer Elite, Sept. 23, is not another Peckinpah remake but rather an adaptation of Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ novel of international assassins, The Feather Men. It stars Clive Owen and Robert De Niro.

Contrarian that he is, Fiennes could certainly beat that Dos Equis shill for the title of the Most Interesting Man in the World, being the first man to cross Antarctica by land, among other distinctions. We lesser mortals have our work cut out for us: a new Footloose (last done in 1984) and the third version of The Thing (both Oct. 14), Paranormal Activity 3 and a new 3-D Three Musketeers (both Oct. 21) by Paul W.S. Anderson of the several dozen Resident Evil movies. Then comes Johnny English Reborn (Oct. 28), the heartwarming A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (Nov. 4), which boasts very funny previews, and the Shrek sequel Puss in Boots (Nov. 4). Reheated emo vamps or tap-dancing penguins, your choice: Happy Feet 2 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1) (both Nov. 18). One film that makes all this recycling bearable: Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) taking on John Le CarrÊ’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, previously filmed in 1979 with Alec Guinness. This time, Gary Oldman is the cuckolded, smaller-than-life master spy George Smiley playing a deadly game of Whack-A-Mole.

Floating in The Future Miranda July on her new film

T

THE FIRST time I came across Miranda July, it was like I had been singed by a fireball. The year was 1996, and the budding 22-year-old artist who would go on to write, direct and star in two critically acclaimed feature films (including 2005’s Me and You and Everyone We Know) was still deeply entrenched in the punk rock underground. Onstage, July emitted a raw, bizarre, brave and otherworldly presence; her one-woman show for a small Saturday audience at the Portland Girl Convention was marked by altered voice monologues, a barrage of psychosocial visuals and subterranean subtexts of sexualized power struggles. Today, sitting in an immaculate suite in San Francisco’s Four Seasons Hotel, Miranda July is wearing a pink buttondown shirt and a baggy brown sweater. She’s in town to promote her second feature film, The Future, which tells the story of a thirtysomething couple living in Los Angeles. When they decide to adopt a cat, the impending adoption forces the couple to assess their personal freedom, and the two realize that they’ve pushed aside their best-laid plans in favor of the molasses of a long-term relationship. In response, they quit their jobs, cancel the Internet, and set out to spend the last 30 days of freedom prePaw Paw (that’s the cat, who infamously narrates the film) figuring out what they really want to do with their lives.

BY LEILANI CLARK

When I ask whether this was a movie that she needed to be in her 30s to make—when fleeing from one’s own life might have more repercussions than during the untethered 20s—July nods. “Yeah, you need something to fuck up,� she says. “I got married during the time since I made the last movie, and suddenly, I mean, I have such an investment in freedom, and there’s reconciling. Like, does that really matter? You know, freedom for freedom’s sake?� Measured and mindful in person, July’s creative output since those early performances has been substantial and wide-ranging: fiction in The New Yorker, sculpture at the Venice Biennale. But with success comes pressure, admits July. “That feels very dangerous now that there’s all this attention,� she says. “Whereas back then, I was kind of like, ‘Who cares if it’s bad?’ It was like, we’re punks, I mean, bad is good. Whereas now, in a way, that feels riskier.� The Future acts in part as a meditation on the drive to create, and how it can either inspire or smother the soul. “I know it’s a very small story, but I saw it was an epic drama in sort of a traditional sense,� she says.

CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE. (PG-13; 118 min.) When Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is dumped by his wife, he goes looking for solace at the bottom of a bottle but finds it in a chance meeting with a studly young player (an uncharacteristically tan and ripped Ryan Gosling) who shows Cal the “getting girlsâ€? ropes. THE DEBT (R; 122 min.) In 1997 in Tel Aviv, Rachel (Helen Mirren) is telling crowds the true story of how she killed the infamous “Surgeon of Birkenau.â€? Beaten up and slashed by the Nazi doctor back in the 1960s, she managed to pot him in the back with a revolver at about 400 feet. Good shot! Attacking the book circuit with this likely story, she encounters two people from her past. One is the shame-ridden David (CiarĂĄn Hinds), the other is the wheelchair-bound Le Carrean spook Stephan. In flashback the three are played by Jessica Chastain, the stolid Sam Worthington (David) and Marton Scokas (Stephan). This

Israeli cell schemes to capture the Surgeon, to haul him over the Wall and take him back for trial. But the three get emotionally tangled, mistakes are made, and the situation heads south rather than west as planned. (RvB)

THE W WAVE AVE V OF OF THE TH HE FU FUTURE TURE New Brighton Cohousing Cohoussing BRAT PACK A teen gang defends their turf from an alien invasion in the British sci-fi flick “Attack the Block,� opening Friday at the Nick. now a sturdy, bland young man, must go solo against the Noseless One (Ralph Fiennes), who, sickened by the loss of most of his soul, looks like a poisoned, bleached ape. And what of Snape (Alan Rickman)? This should have been Snape’s crescendo— nope. The reveal of a tender heart under a supercilious hide is all we get. It’s a nocturnal film, and Yates is at his best borrowing from Fritz Lang: the cloaked scholars in formation in the courtyard, the figures in silhouette meeting on a staircase top. The downside is claustrophobia from lack of natural light. The religious cranks who said the Potter films failed to endorse the traditional family will get theirs in the epilogue, which returns this horror story to the kid-friendly place where it began. (RvB)

FRIGHT NIGHT (R; 106 min.) A comedy horror set in a suburban high school setting. Jerry (Colin Farrell), the attractive new teenage vampire next door, steals the attention away from social climber Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin). When Brewster fights back, he uncovers Jerry’s darker side. THE HELP (PG-13; 154 min.) In 1960s Mississippi, newly minted college graduate Skeeter (Emma Stone) goes against the social

grain when she decides to write about the black servants in her community. With Viola Davis, Cicely Tyson, Sissy Spacek and others.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13; 100 min.) Woody Allen wrote and directed this film about Gil (Owen Wilson), a killjoy writer on vacation in Paris with his fiancÊe (Rachel McAdams) and her family. When they run into some old friends (Michael Sheen and Nina Arianda), Gil begins stealing away from his party by taking conspicuously long walks at night. He soon discovers a newfound love for the city, and life, in this romantic comedy that asks the question: Is a different life better, or is it just—different? ONE DAY (PG-13; 108 min.) This romantic comedy tracks the relationship between two friends who spent the last night of college together (Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess). OUR IDIOT BROTHER (R; 90 min.) Stars Paul Rudd as the idiot brother named Ned. Ned barges in on the lives of his three sisters, and when he overstays his welcome he is forced to reconsider his actions. POINT BLANK (R; 84 min.) Samuel gets caught in a world of gangs when his wife is kidnapped. To get her

back he must carry out favors for the local gang that is responsible for taking her.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PG-13, 115 min.) If there are two words that sum up Rupert Wyatt’s film, they are “strangely plausible.� At Genesis, a Bay Area genetic tech lab of about 2012 or so, scientist Will Rodman (Palo Alto’s own James Franco) is working on a cure for Alzheimer’s. When a superintelligent baby lab chimp named Caesar is ordered to be destroyed, Will brings him home to his Peninsula home, and a San Francisco Zoo veterinarian (Freida Pinto) helps him raise the critter. As Caesar grows, he’s played by synthespian modeled on the always-amazing Andy Serkis; this and the story’s links to the tragic story of Nim Chimpsky (as seen recently in Project Nim) “grounds the balloon� as James Bond screenwriter Richard Maibaum put it. The last third of the film, thrilling and fast, takes over Caesar’s story. Wyatt shines here, bringing in images of urban rebellion that have as much zeitgeist as the first Apes movie did in 1968. Like the J.J. Abrams remake of Star Trek, this isn’t a demolition job but a handsomely done renovation of an old property. (RvB)

SARAH’S KEY (PG-13; 111 min.) Kristin Scott Thomas is an American living in Paris with her French husband (Frederic Pierrot) when she discovers that the apartment building owned by his family has a tragic history bound up in the plight of the Jews during World War II. SHARK NIGHT (PG-13; 95min) Terror strikes at full-force in this 3-D thriller. When a group of seven college students travel to a lake house in Louisiana, they expect a fun-filled summer of sun and sin. Little do they know one of nature’s oldest predators lurks underneath the dark waves of the saltwater lake. SMURFS (PG; 86 min.) The evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) drives the Smurfs from their woodland village. In their haste, the little blue fellows stumble into a mysterious portal, which spits them out in New York City where they are taken in by a sweet married couple (Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays) who try to help them find their way home. SPY KIDS: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD (PG; 94 min.) Marisa Wilson (Jessica Alba) recruits her stepchildren in the fight against the Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven), an evil supervillain.

Located in the front of the classic Goodwill depot at 1500 Mission St., Filling Station is a collaborative venture between longtime foodies (and sweethearts) /[PS` Bc`^W\ and 2OdWR AbW[^a]\, who both bring prolific connections with top area organic gardens, bakeries and artisanal purveyors. “We’re a coffeehouse, for sure,â€? said Turpin, arranging huge dahlias for display on the tiny front patio. “We feature Four Barrel Coffee from an artisanal roaster in San Francisco, and we bake in-house every morning,â€? she added, tempting me with a dreamy fresh-baked tea cake studded with crunchy millet, dubbed the Cafe Fanny (after Alice Waters’ food bar) in honor of Chez Panisse’s 40th anniversary. Along with outstanding Colombian coffee sweetened with agave (my new favorite caffeine additive) Stimpson was serving up both sweet and savory hand pies, cinnamon toast and espresso from the teensy kitchen adjoining a cozy, open-air dining area. “We use Companion Bakeshop breads, goat cheese from Friend in Cheeses and Straus Dairy,â€? Turpin told me. Parked alongside Filling Station’s front doorstep is 4`O\ 5`Oga]\’s silvery new culinary venture food truck, the Truck Stop, specializing in arepas, tacos and tortas along with fresh sauces and salsas. The cafe-on-wheels is also busy catering private parties; learn more by emailing thetruckstopsc@gmail.com. Filling Station is open Tues-Fri 7am–3pm and Sat-Sun 8am–3pm. The Truck Stop is open most days 7am–11am except when off-site for catering and events.
