MARRIAGE EQUALITY 101 AND THE REMAINING UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
and tradition and historically same-sex marriages were not recognized, the Court stated that history and tradition guide the analysis but do not provide a boundary to the right. The Court explained that while the essential attributes to marriage have remained steady throughout history, the understanding of marriage has also been subject to change, especially with regards to women’s roles in marriage. The Court addressed that previous cases may have presumed the participants in the marriage were of the opposite sex; however, the attributes of this right apply equally to opposite-sex and same-sex couples. The Court defined these attributes as follows: 1) the choice involved in marriage is essential to individual autonomy and part of the The Court made clear that the First privacy rights granted to family decisions; 2) marAmendment continues to protect riage is the only institution of its kind to support religions and those exercising the union of two people religious beliefs in teaching those and protect that intimate 3) marriage beliefs regarding same-sex marriage. association; provides stability for children and families; and 4) marriage is the building block of our social order which is made ticipants exercising that right.

While the argument was made that a The Court also noted that it is not fundamental right is defined by history appropriate to wait for legislative action he Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Obergefell v Hodges that state laws banning same-sex marriage and denying recognition of such marriages lawfully entered in other states are unconstitutional. The Court articulated that Baker v. Nelson is overruled and that the fundamental right to marry applies equally to same-sex couples as those of the opposite sex. Therefore, such laws denying this right violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. The opinion made clear that the fundamental right to marry, which has previously been recognized in numerous Supreme Court rulings, is not defined by the par-

or further debate when a constitutional right is being infringed upon. While the democratic process is generally appropriate for change, this is not the case when a constitutionally protected right is at issue. Also noteworthy, the Court made clear that the First Amendment continues to protect religions and those exercising religious beliefs in teaching those beliefs regarding same-sex marriage. Some issues were not answered by the decision with regard to same-sex marriages and will need to be addressed by the legislatures or the courts moving forward. For example, our firm is currently involved in litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, where the issue is whether the presumption of parentage applies to same-sex couples when they are married and one of the parties gives birth to a child. In that litigation, the State of Indiana has taken the position that the presumption only applies to a husband of a wife. Other issues that may result is whether employee benefits may be withdrawn from employees who are not married to their significant other since now they can marry. Many large employers allowed both same-sex and oppositesex couples who were not married to be covered by their health insurance plans. There are already moves to change some of these plans to restrict them only to married employees. n

WHAT HAPPENED? How Indy Pride handled hateful comments Shortly after the SCOTUS decision lifting all same-sex marriage bans in the U.S. was issued on Friday, Indy Pride’s Facebook page was bombarded with comments — many of which were negative, and some downright hateful. Jack Shepler is the marketing director for Indy Pride, and it’s his job to monitor the page. Pride admittedly pulls the nasty stuff, but Shepler decided to post the exceptionally rough remarks on his personal page. (If you look for it, be advised — it’s pretty foul.) NUVO called Jack that afternoon (June 26) and asked Shepler why he made that decision.
JACK SHEPLER:
We get hateful comments pretty regularly, and I ban them or delete them or … whatever I feel is necessary. Today we’re getting tons. I’ve spent most of my day sitting SUBMITTED PHOTO here watching the comments roll in. I realized this is way more than usual. I hide the comments because I don’t want [the Pride page] to turn into a big negative thing. In terms of the comments on our social media, if it’s putting down gay people, or saying that they’re going to hell or especially using foul language — which a lot of it does — I hide those. But there were so many today I felt I had to share.
NUVO: So you’re taking ownership of the hateful stuff and using it as an illustration of what you’re coping with.
SHEPLER: Exactly. I mentioned in the post just
what kind of hatred the LGBT community deals with, and this is just in the Facebook comments.
NUVO: Are you getting positive comments as well? SHEPLER: Yes — someone made the comment
that I should share the positive ones too, and I do plan to do that.
NUVO: What’s the ratio? SHEPLER: I’d say there’s more positive than negative. Typically when we have a post blow up, like, five percent of the comments will be negative. This is definitely a lot higher. It’s kind of funny — before this post, the most viewed post we’d ever had was back when that black and blue/gold and white dress happened. I used an app to color the dress [like a] rainbow. That was actually our most viewed, even when marriage equality became legal in Indiana.
NUVO: Why is it that the most hateful commenters seem to have no skills when it comes to spelling or punctuation? What’s that about?
SHEPLER: Personally, I think it reflects on their
intelligence level. Using poor English doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not intelligent, but it certainly doesn’t help your case. — ED WENCK

One man’s mission to see a different governor in Indiana

he blue and gold signs are sprinkled all over Marion County. There isn’t a neighborhood in the city that doesn’t have at least one sign in a residential yard and it’s more likely that you will find two or three, maybe even more. Kevin Warren, the man behind those signs, couldn’t be happier. His goal is simple — to see Mike Pence out of the governor’s office and someone else in that seat. Warren sells the signs from his home on Central Ave. in the Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood. That home is the epicenter of the Pence Must Go committee, an official political action committee (PAC) dedicated to spreading a message of disapproval with Indiana’s current governor while raising money for non-profit organizations that support the LGBTQ community. He also has T-shirts, hats and bumper stickers with the Pence Must Go message available for sale. “I am just one pissed-off homo!” exclaims Warren. Why the animosity towards Pence? Warren, 50, explains his issues with the governor date back to Pence’s positions against the LGBTQ community during his service in the U.S. Congress. His anger fire-flashed during the campaign to stop HJR-3, the constitutional amendment that would have banned same sex marriage in the Hoosier state and Pence’s unyielding support for the measure. “I was sitting in the [Senate] gallery during HJR-3 and someone from the clergy was opening the session with a prayer,” recalls Warren. “In his message, he basically condemned all of us that were there to hell. I got so mad I shouted BULLSHIT! My friends and the people around me warned me to be quiet so I wouldn’t get kicked out, but I didn’t care.” Warren decided he was tired and had had

Kevin Warren says despite having signs stolen and burned, his truck egged and his house under surveillance, his feelings and message for Mike Pence will never change.
enough. His fire continued to burn and grow hotter through the recent legislative session and the passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He had already had signs made to gather support against HJR-3, so it was just a matter of changing the message and having more signs made. The message he chose reflected exactly how he felt — Pence must go. The signs took off like a rocket. People who felt the same way as Warren were clamoring to get one. Warren couldn’t keep enough inventory to meet the demand. Now the Pence Must Go PAC is operating in the black and Warren has plenty of stock to accommodate anyone who wants a sign, t-shirt or bumper sticker. He has varied the message to incorporate the different groups that have also been
impacted by the governor’s positions and actions, including teachers (Expel Pence – Teachers United) and business (Discrimination will cost our state billions!!). Warren says he has plans for more signs with varying messages. He will continue the effort through the 2016 election cycle. “You know how politics goes,” says Warren. “A year from now people will have forgotten his horrific deeds, not just against us [the LGBTQ community], but so many people. And I’m not going to let that die.” Folks upset with Warren’s in-your-face efforts to give Pence the boot have not been subtle about their discontent. Signs have been burned at his house and at other residences around the city. (It takes a lot of effort to burn the signs, which are made of corrugated plastic. An accelerant has to be

used for the signs to burn.) Signs have been stolen and property vandalized. “I know what the security vehicles that you see parked outside of the governor’s mansion look like,” says Warren. “And I’ve seen those same vehicles parked outside of my house a few times.” Just this weekend, Warren reported signs stolen from his porch, the information box with the instructions on how to get and pay for materials was stolen and his truck parked in front of the home was egged. But, Warren says he is not going to stop. He says he feels safe in his home and he will not hide. He wants his address and contact information public so people can continue to get the materials they want and spread the Pence Must Go message. “I will not be intimidated,” says Warren. The support Warren has received to date is overwhelming. Signs and other materials are sold through an honor system that allows people to come to Warren’s front porch and choose the merchandise they want. A brown wicker table holds a clipboard with the instructions on how to pay for the signs and business cards for people to pass on to others for information on how to get their own signs. The clipboard also holds notes and messages of encouragement from people who have visited. “I live in SoBro [South Broad Ripple] where a sign was torched last night! Rise Up!” “My two signs were set on fire too in Devonshire!” “Go get ‘em!” “Fight on!” “Sign set on fire, reported it! I owe you $10.” “And the amazing thing is, those who leave an ‘I owe you” always come back and pay,” says Warren. “Someone wrote down

His message isn’t limited to the LGBTQ community. Warren says he will take his message and merchandise to whomever is working toward the common goal of removing Pence from office. Warren admires the other campaigns and awareness efforts that are out there. Indiana Young Democrats contacted Warren before starting their own “Fire Mike Pence” sign campaign and fundraiser. He is friends with Josh Driver, the founder of the Open for Service campaign that has spread throughout the country. Like Warren, Driver became angry about the rhetoric surrounding RFRA, but wanted to find a positive release. His frustration led to a movement celebrating businesses that open their doors to everyone. However for Warren, his anger is personal and his actions targeted toward the man he feels is responsible. “I know it’s negative, but you know what? I’m tired,” says Warren. “I’ll never be Rosa Parks, but I understand where she was coming from. She just wanted to sit down!” jokes Warren. “ I use her story jokingly because I know this is nothing compared to her struggle and that period, but I can relate because it’s that last straw. She hit it because she was tired and wanted to sit down. I’m done. I’m done, I’m tired, and I’m angry. And he [Pence] is going to pay for it.” Warren may not see the parallels between himself and Rosa Parks, but they are there. Both had reached their limit and took and action on his or her own behalf. In 1955, Parks’ action ignited a revolution leading to civil rights across the country. Sixty years later, Warren’s action could very well lead to a dramatic shift in Hoosier politics. n
that they would be back with $20, but needed to replace their signs ASAP. Sure enough, the $20 was there by the next morning.” Warren says the effort extends to Hoosiers from all walks of life, regardless of their ethnicity, race or socioeconomic status. “One afternoon a couple in a very nice car dressed in cocktail attire pulled in to the driveway and paid for two signs,” says Warren. “The same afternoon an elderly lady walking with a cane came by. She could barely walk the length of the driveway. She asked for a sign and tucked a roll of quarters in my hand.” Warren says his first instinct was to refuse her money (guessing she lived on a fixed income) and simply give her a sign. Then, he changed his mind, understanding the meaning of her gesture. “I realized that she was giving me something precious in order to be a part of something. She PHOTO BY MARK A. LEE wanted to be a part Kevin Warren and his front yard display. of something, so I let her,” says Warren. The desire to be a part of something is also reaching beyond Marion County. Warren sold his merchandise at the Indy Pride festival and sold about 100 signs at a Pride Festival in Spencer, Indiana. He plans to sell more signs, stickers and t-shirts at upcoming Pride festivals in Bloomington and Fort Wayne.

Huge Concerts (and why you should go)
Although the thick cloud cover that’s hung over Indy most of June might have you a bit confused, we’re in the thick of summer concert season and, weather be damned, it’s glorious. Every week there are more massive shows than any human could reasonably keep up with, let alone attend, at once — although if we ever manage to clone people, that’s definitely something me and my clones would get up to — but breathe a sigh of relief, because we’ve got your planner covered this holiday weekend. We’ve outlined the ten biggest shows (including two multiday festivals) in Indy in the next few days. Why’d we pick these shows? Read on to find out. Maybe you’re thinking, sure, by some bending of time and space plus a deep dive into your savings account, you can get to almost all of those shows. Sorry to disappoint: there’s actually 102 more shows happening this week that we’ve listed on page 32-34 in Soundcheck. Hey, it’s not a bad problem for a city to have!

Because Against Me! is the politically conscious act a postRFRA Indy needs right now. Tonight, Against Me! will roll through town at the Old National Centre with openers Frnkiero Andthe Cellabration and Annie Girl & The Flight. The established punk group made stops in Indianapolis many times as part of the Vans Warped Tour, but other than that, this will only be their second time in town as headliners. With Indy being one of many anticipated stops, singer Laura Jane Grace says she’s as psyched as we are. “For me, this tour is really like a satisfying personal project,” she says. “I reached out to Frank and really wanted him to do the tour. I met Annie in December and she had given me her record, and I’ve been listening to it since.” Although the band is new to Indianapolis, they aren’t strangers to the state. One of their earliest releases, the Crime EP, was released by Bloomington’s Plan-It-X Records, run by Chris Clavin. Grace says she’s very fond of Bloomington. “[Clavin] was down in Gainesville at the time and he saw me play in a laundromat,” she says. “He booked us in Bloomington when we had first started touring. We usually play Rhino’s, which is a great place. I really like what Rhino’s is about.” Against Me!’s reputation as a politically aware
punk band precedes them. With Indiana’s recent national attention as a result of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a few touring performers cancelled their Indiana dates. Thankfully, Grace — who documented her transition to living as a woman in the last year’s album Transgender Dysphoria Blues — says they have a different mentality. “Well, I think in situations like that, I’m always more apt to go for the ‘Let’s go there to protest,’ as opposed to ‘Let’s not go there to protest,’ type of approach,” she says. “It’s not the people’s fault who are going to the show. It’s more important to go to a place and speak out.” The band recently announced their second live album, 23 Live Sex Acts. The new release, due out in September, will feature 23 songs, both personal and fan favorites that were recorded throughout their 2014 Transgender Dysphoria Blues World Tour. Grace says they chose to do a second live album because after so many lineup changes, Against Me! is a significantly different live experience than what it was in 2006’s Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live in London!!! She

says live albums tend to be more exciting and more unpredictable than studio albums. “Nobody in the studio is throwing beer bottles at you or coming at you, crowd-surfing over people to grab you by the throat and scream into the microphone,” she says. “There’s a way different intensity. It’s a document of a time and a place, and trying to capture something you don’t know what you’re going to get.”
The band will enter the studio this fall to start what will be their seventh studio album. In between gigs and recording sessions with Against Me!, Grace recently produced an album, handled music director duties for the TV show Rebel Music and worked on an upcoming book. “This year in particular has been really, really busy,” she says.

with Rascal Flatts and Saints of Valory Saturday, July 4 Indianapolis Motor Speedway, $77+, all-ages
Because The Rolling Stones are still the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World — you heard us. Brian Jones is decades gone, Mick Taylor didn’t have the bulletproof liver/lungs/manparts/whatever to hang, and Bill Wyman just plain ol’ bugged out. Now the Glimmer twins — Sir Mick and the planet’s oldest living juvenile delinquent, Keith Richards — are touring into their twilight years. Joined by the eternally pleasant Ronnie Wood and the eternally bemused Charlie Watts, the Stones land at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of a 15city run on Independence Day. The remaining original threesome-plus-one are what’s left of a band that came to represent everything that terrified the Western World’s middle class during the group’s heyday. Darker and more dangerous than the Beatles, the ‘60s and ‘70s-era Stones gave us the blasts of “Satisfaction,” the terror of Altamont and the drug-addled jump of Exile on Main Street. In the years since, Mick’s become an English gentle-
man, and Keith is having none of it. The sound that made the group so edgy is something that still cuts through the years of the hard-dopin’ Rock and Roll Lifestyle: As Ronnie and Bill Wyman have said, this band follows its rhythm guitarist, not its rhythm section. Keith Richards’ guitar is what’s always out front, and the band is forced to roll with his bluesdrenched, open-tuned lurch. Forget Jagger’s swagger — it’s the propulsion of Dread Richards the Pirate that has really kept the act together for over half a century. They’re touring the recently re-released ’71 album Sticky Fingers on this victory lap — literally, it’s at the IMS — and finally stopping back in Indy after swearing us off in the ‘90s. Add in what’s promised to be the biggest fireworks show of the night, plus the glamour and dirt of the Speedway, and you’ve got a perfect Fourth of Freakin’ July. — ED WENCK NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 07.01.15 - 07.08.15 // COVER STORY 11
Because hearing John Fogerty play classic CCR songs is still awesome. From the 1980s through 1997, John Fogerty refused to play any songs in concert that he wrote for his legendary rock band, Creedence Clearwater Revival. During that period, he was embroiled in a series of lawsuits over the ownership and use of his Creedence songs. Most of the disputes involved Saul Zaentz, the former head of his record company in the Creedence years, Fantasy Records. Eventually, Zaentz retained ownership of the Creedence catalog, but Fogerty made peace after his bitter battle, realizing that while he didn’t own his Creedence catalog, he knew — and so did his fans — who wrote the songs and he should reclaim that part of his life and legacy by once again playing the songs in concert. “That’s probably the most horrible decision anyone could make, and I’m sure it’s probably cost me in a business sense,” Fogerty says, of his decision to not play Creedence songs in a recent phone interview. “But it was what my heart had to go through to get here … That’s what I had to go through to really be grateful and thankful for what I have now.” These days, Fogerty is so at ease with his Creedence past and his now-settled legal battles that he is even celebrating what many consider the pinnacle of his Creedence years with a tour called 1969. The title represents the year in which Creedence Clearwater Revival released three — count ‘em, three — albums. Those releases — Bayou Country, Green River and Willy and the Poor Boys — and the hit songs from those albums (including “Proud Mary,” “Lodi,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Green River” and “Fortunate Son”) turned CCR into one of the era’s most popular bands and gave Fogerty a catalog that, even without his notable subsequent success as a solo artist, would have sustained his music career for as long as he wanted to play shows. Ironically enough, Fogerty says his determination to crank out three Creedence albums in one year and his estrangement from his own catalog of Creedence songs for nearly two decades were dictated by the same motivation — to never make decisions based on business. Just as Fogerty felt in his heart he deserved to gain ownership of the Creedence song catalog because he wrote the songs, he went on the songwriting jag that produced the three 1969 albums, not because he was motivated by profit, but because he was determined to prove himself as a songwriter and solidify Creedence’s standing as a band.
“Basically my band had one hit, ‘Suzie Q,’” Fogerty says, mentioning CCR’s single from its 1968 self-titled debut album. “So we were in dire danger of ending up on the rocky shore of all the one-hit wonders down through the years of rock and roll. And I really, I’m a competitive person. I just really didn’t want that to happen.” Realizing he was on a small record label with limited resources, Fogerty decided writing lots of songs gave Creedence the best shot at success. “I actually said this to myself, ‘I guess I’m just going to have to do it with music,’” he says. “So I set, kind of put my shoulder to the grindstone, I guess you’d say, and just got really, really busy.” Fogerty’s fears about being a one-hit wonder were allayed when he wrote “Proud Mary,” a song that would become the centerpiece of Bayou Country and a top five single. “Once I had written ‘Proud Mary,’ the heavens opened up,” Fogerty says. “Right there that afternoon as I was writing that song, I knew that this was a great song. I knew this was what they used to call a standard. They probably call it a classic now. This was far above any song I had ever written in my life.” Fogerty kept up the pace — and quality — of his songwriting, finishing Green River (“It was my favorite album of the era because it was closest musically to the, I don’t know, to my bullseye,” he says) and then another gem, Willy and the Poor Boys, by the end of summer 1969. But by the time of the next album, 1970’s Cosmo’s Factory, inner-band tensions were intensifying over Fogerty’s control of Creedence’s songwriting and business, and after touring the 1972 album Mardi Gras, the band broke up. Still, the six straight hit albums Creedence released from 1968 to 1970 remains one of the most impressive runs for any band in rock history. And now Fogerty is celebrating the memorable year of 1969 by playing the trio of that year’s albums on tour. He credits his wife, Julie, with the concept for the tour. “I’ve been dancing around that for years and years because people would make note of the three albums in 1969,” Fogerty says. “And sometimes I’ve gone out and done shows that presented this album or that album in its entirety. It’s funny that it was staring me in the face. I never thought of it. Julie, finally one day said ‘Why don’t we focus on that one year?’ It was like well yeah, especially (because), I think at the time I thought it was a pretty cool thing. But now, as a concept for a show, I think it’s just a really great idea.”

Because Indypendence Day raises tons of money for a very good cause. Settle in for a story, boys and girls. In 1999, Scott Lintner made a promise. If he made it to age 50 — not likely, his doctors said, after a devastating leukemia diagnosis — he’d throw a huge party for everyone that supported him in his journey back to health. He made it, and boy, what a party he threw. The 2013 Indypendence Day raised $50,000 for the St. Francis Hospital Patient Assistance Fund and The Leukemia Lymphoma Society of Indiana. The fireworks Downtown after the fest are just the cherry on top. This year’s headliners are amorphous pop maestros Panic! At The Disco and infectious Danish electro-punk poppers New Politics. Locals Standout Story, bleedingkeys, Veseria and St. Louis’ Coastl add support. — KATHERINE COPLEN

Because Chaos Fest is a punk rock field day. This Fourth of July weekend, if you’re not too busy cooking out with Dad and doing cannonballs in the pool, Bloomington will host one of the most unique DIY festivals of the summer. With a strong community backbone, Chaos Fest II is a punk rock field day. Chaos Fest works how Chicago’s Riot Fest wishes it did. For three days, established venues, sweaty basements and more creative spaces hold shows, fundraisers, potlucks, movie screenings and art fairs. The events are staggered so you can stay entertained throughout the weekend. Organizers say: “There is no centralized booking or planning for Chaos Fest. Anyone and everyone in Bloomington will be booking shows, teaching workshops, having ’zine readings, movie screenings, puppet shows, sleepovers, game nights, camp-outs, and etc.” Bloomington folk-punk label Plan-It-X Records will provide many artists for the weekend. Ghost Mice, Garrett Walters and Mitch the Champ are just a few locals on the bills. Some established touring bands coming through are Left Astray (California), Cotton Tail (North Carolina), Logan & Lucille (Arizona), Dirty Kills (Canada) and Cutting Room Floor (New York).
One of the more unique events will take place on July 3 at the Bloomington Skate Park. Guests can bring their boards and Razor scooters to shred between bands. Starting at 6:30 p.m., this show features Left Astray with local support from hardcore punk outfit Cloaca, Indiana screamo legends Coma Regalia and former Bloomington locals Closet Burner. July 3 is also the day of the PUNX-N-PIES potluck and benefit. Starting at 5 p.m. at Rev. Ernest D. Butler Park, bring a vegan pie to share, and, for a small donation, you have the unbelievable opportunity to throw a shaving cream pie at a friend (or enemy). All money raised will be donated to Positive Link, Southcentral Indiana’s primary HIV care provider. For a frugal way to end your weekend, head to Rhino’s All Ages Club for the Affordable Art Fair. This event goes down early on Sunday afternoon, leaving your evening free for shows. All items cost $25 or less and are handmade by fellow Bloomingtonians. All the Chaos Fest II shows cost either a suggested $5 donation or are entirely free and all the money you spend this weekend will either be donated to a good cause or given to one of the many touring bands trying to fuel their way home.

Because Henry Lee Summer is ready for a comeback.
Because Ed Sheeran is a pop star for the new millennium. There’s a reason this Klipsch show is sold out: This red-haired British moppet is massively, massively popular, across basically every genre you can name. Perhaps best known for accompanying Taylor Swift on her massive world tours a few years ago, Ed Sheeran thoroughly cemented his headlining act with a series of radio-smashing singles off the 2014 release X that experiment with hip-hop, funk, soul and folk and include guest appearances from Pharrell and Smaug. (Okay, just kidding about that
Smaug thing, but Sheeran did write the Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug-concluding ballad “I See Fire” by special request of director Peter Jackson.) X was a huge hit — it was streamed 430 million times on Spotify last year, more than any other album — and the resulting world tour looks to be going like gangbusters, too. Added bonus: Local Haley Jonay (who sang a duet with Ed backstage at his last Klipsch concert) will open up the show on one of the side stages.

The Good Ship Henry Lee setting off on a comeback tour, and the way he sees it, this show is just the beginning. “This 30th Anniversary Time For Big Fun Tour is all about fun and bringing back a rock show to the people,” Summer says. “A show that they can dance and have fun, too. I am back stronger than ever for this tour.” He promises “Time for Big Fun,” “Hey Baby,” “Hands on the Radio,” and “Wing Tip Shoes” will make their way onto Saturday’s setlist. “This tour is supporting the 30th anniversary of Time For Big Fun, which was way back in 1985-86, so it will feature some nuggets from that record,” he says. “But don’t worry, we will be playing HLS hits.” Summer will announce dates across the Midwest in 1000 to 2500 seat venues soon. (“We just played The State Theater in Logansport this past Saturday and it was off the hook,” he says.) It’s part of a three-year plan that includes a greatest hits record, another tour, and then an album of new music.

As Chicago emo punks Fall Out Boy move ever closer to straight arena rock and rapper Wiz Khalifa takes over Top 40s radio with pop smashes like “See You Again” and “Young, Wild and Free,” a tour featuring both acts just makes sense. Of the tour, Wiz says: “It was really like a joint effort where I wanted to go on tour with a rock and roll group, somebody who had a really huge fan base, somebody who has a similar feeling about music. … There’s no real genre of music, or classification of fan. I think everybody just comes out to have a really good time.” But will these unlikely stagefellows play together? “We will spend time on stage together,” singer Patrick Stump said in an early June interview. On his band’s new album, American Beauty/American Psycho, Stump enjoyed experimenting with sampling, bringing in bits and pieces from Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner,” The Munsters theme song and — mostly excitingly — Joyful Noise artist Son Lux’s “Lost It To Trying.” “There is an art form to homage and interpolation, and being inspired by something pre-existing,” Stump said. “My dad was a folk singer … Folk music, as an entire world, is very much about shared culture, sharing music. It’s not so much about who wrote the song [as it is] who feels the song, who sings the song. A good song can be performed by a bunch of different people, and a good melody can reappear in different places. And those things were very inspiring to me on this record.” — KATHERINE COPLEN

REVIEW Installation Nation captures imagination e Through July 11, closing night July 10, 6-10 p.m. When first stepping into the quiet and restful ArtsPark on the grounds of the Indianapolis Art Center, I hoped “Indigo Mood” by Sarah I’d see something West and Christopher Field thought-provoking. I wasn’t disappointed. Installation Nation features the concept of installation art, an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that is site-specific and designed to transform the viewer’s perception of a space. Works by Dent Collaborative, Taryn Cassella, Andrew Ball, TJ Samuels, Cory Constantine, Laura Levine, Sidener Academy for High Ability Students, Sarah West and Christopher Field, Andrea Swartz, Mia Capodilupo, Lance Pruitt, Rousseau McClellan Elementary School #91, Quincy Owens and Luke Crawley are featured in the exhibit. President and Executive Director of the Indianapolis Art Center Patrick Flaherty said Installation Nation would “give artists wanting to experiment with outdoor, site-specific installation work a platform to do so.” Flaherty remarked on the exhibit’s concept, “Installation art is often thought of indoors and this gives it a different twist for artists to explore. With the work up for two weeks in ArtsPark viewers will have the opportunity to see how the work is affected by the weather over time. Flaherty added, “By making the event free and all ages we hope to give as many people as possible a chance to see the exhibit and through either scanning the QR codes at each installation or visiting primarycolours.org learn more about the pieces and more about installation art in general.” Installation Nation captured my imagination. Pamela Deaton’s whimsical “Sacred Pathways” used branches in its fairy-like miniature ladders and towers. Placed adjacently, “Indigo Mood” was reminiscent of beautiful and futuristic dreamcatchers. I was pleasantly surprised to see these dreamlike works putting me in a playful mood in the intimate setting of the ArtsPark. Each work was in dialogue with one another while expressing its own story. Flaherty hopes visitors “will enjoy the contrast as well as the fact that the pieces have a dialogue with one another as they aren’t blocked off to their own gallery spaces but instead spread throughout the ArtsPark.” Student artwork is showcased alongside professional work in Installation Nation. Flaherty remarked, “we are interested in nurturing the next generation of artists and art enthusiasts and what better way than to include them in the event itself.” — LINDSAY ROSA Indianapolis Art Center, FREE, primarycolours.org

nates in an “open lab” performance. One year, there was an opera based on “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater” that featured a pumpkin-based chastity belt. Another performance involved shiny, silver costumes that made people look like Ziploc bags made of tinfoil. This year, there was a project that combined geocaching and aliens. This may sound like theater of the absurd, but underneath the zaniness, the Convergers are asking serious questions about sexuality, human rights and love. Convergence alums include actors, dancers, poets, photographers, puppeteers, and video artists. It’s the definition of interdisciplinary collaboration. Indy Convergence operates similar programs in Toronto and Oban, Haiti. The Haiti branch was started on a whim after a fellow Converger spent time there. Negron laughed, “we said ‘why not Indy Convergence Haiti?’ and then we made it happen.” Indy Convergence Haiti became an opportunity to create cross-cultural, interdisciplinary classes and collaborations that foster reciprocal mentorship between artists while reflecting Oban’s traditions and stimulating the local economy, which is still reeling from the 2010 earthquake. It’s impossible to mention Haiti without bringing in Negron’s husband, Robert Negron. He’s directed the construction of a community center and stage in Oban that’s home to Indy Convergence Haiti called Sa-K-La-KWel. The center, which is used by the community year-round, supports programs in art, dance, music, English, soccer and karate. The stage at Sa-K-La-K-Wel is literally made of trash: Old tires and used bottles gathered from the beach. It’s built after the Earthship model of housing, which is a radically sustainable building that generates its own heat and electricity. Convergence alums travel to Sa-K-La-K-Wel as visiting teachers, and once a year, the center hosts a two-week arts intensive event similar to the one held in Indy.

Both works are highly visual with a fullFawzi Haimor color palette. October uses the blurred lines between Russia’s industrial and natural landscapes. Haimor allowed time for the audience to absorb pastoral and urban sound metaphors. Pictures at an Exhibition demanded that we look at images of David Hochoy’s choreography. The images felt even richer with the live music. Right on cue the wind whipped the American flag on the grounds into furls as the triumphant strains of the tenth and final picture — the city gates of Kiev — came into view. It was magical. Pianist Nareh Arghamanyan approached Tchaikovsky’s Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor for Piano and Orchestra with marked stridency. I could feel the vibrations rippling onto my plastic chair.

What it takes to make a living as a professional performance artist
dium there is always a middleman — the stage. No way around it, performing artists must find a company to back them. There’s no Etsy consumer demanding a pirouette. Groups like Dance Kaleidoscope, Motus and Gregory Hancock (this is restricted to programs that are not part of a university) have made strides in exposing Indianapolis to new types of dance. While those programs are copacetic, they can only do so much. “If Indianapolis were like a sundae — like an ice cream sundae — dance is considered to be a fun cherry on top,” says Lewey. “They (the community) like it, it’s there, but they don’t necessarily think it’s needed. ... I think the opposite is true. The dance community here is ap-

It’s well known that unless you happen to rub elbows with the right person, a career in the arts just doesn’t pay great. A modest lifestyle is one thing; three to four jobs at a time is another, and, sadly, it is the norm for most dancers in Indianapolis. Tommy Lewey knows this all too well. “I am obviously not in it for the money,” says Lewey. “But I’m not necessarily sure I would be making more money if I were living in a different city.” After walking in a cap “You can’t be a dancer in Indy and gown along Hinkle professionally because there isn’t Fieldhouse, to receive his degree in dance pedagoenough pay for it.” gy, Lewey quickly started — JENEE MICHELLE teaching at Broad Ripple High School.

Caitlin Negron has been involved in the Haiti arm of Convergence, but mostly as a fundraiser and organizer. She hasn’t physically been there in two years. That’s going to change in 2016. This spring, she won a $10,000 creative renewal grant from the Indianapolis Arts Council. Negron is using it to spend six weeks in Oban. The last time she was there, she collaborated with a group of girls who carried five-gallon buckets of water on their heads every day.

tine act of water-carrying. Negron will also travel to New Mexico for four weeks to learn how to build Earthships so she can help with future construction in Oban. Negron hopes to bring back the connection between arts and community that exists there. “Sa-K-La-K-Wel has opened up a space for people to … express themselves that wasn’t formerly there. The community is communicating better,” says Negron. She wants to see Indy Convergence connect to the community the same way in Indianapolis as it has in Haiti. Convergence rents space each year at the Wheeler Arts Community in Fountain Square, but the Negrons want a permanent home for it, a work/performance space with apartments for resident artists. They also want to hold shorter, “popup” Convergence events as outreach. “Moving forward, we are looking to form stronger relationships with alreadyexisting Indianapolis arts organizations by providing classes, workshops and cultural exchanges through our network of alums [which is] over 100 strong and growing.” Negron hopes Indy Convergence can “become the premier incubator for new work being imagined and created here in Indy.” I asked Negron how she’s able to do everything she does. “What it really boils down to is feeling your own true north.” It’s a good thing Caitlin Negron’s true north led her to Indianapolis. n able to pay dancers.” After moving to Indianapolis from Las Vegas — where she had a career as a showgirl — she quickly realized that a full-time job as a dancer just didn’t exist here. “You can’t be a dancer in Indy professionally because there isn’t enough pay for it,” says Michelle. She decided to start a company to fight back against that very thing, making a “lifestyle” company that hires mostly dancers, giving them a steady source of income and bookings. So what would we need to even make a few full-time performance [only] jobs an option here? “It would take more of the decisionmakers in town, whether that’s a corporate entity or whatnot, I think it’s them saying ‘we want to hire talent, and we want to pay them appropriately’ which I don’t think is happening, says Michelle.

Anne new neighbor and the life of the famed Fontaine directs the film from a screen-
play she wrote with Pascal Bonitzer. The movie is in French and English, with subtitles when necessary. Gemma Arterton also starred in Tamara Drewe, Stephen Frears’ 2010 film based on another Posy Simmons graphic novel. I enjoyed spending time in the French countryside. Martin and Gemma discuss how country life is considerably more difficult than outsiders envision it to be, but that bit of verisimilitude just added to the rustic appeal for me. The goingson within the ensemble cast (I haven’t even touched on the actual plot – that long stretch at the beginning of this essay merely covered the setup) are a pleasure to watch. Mind you, the film is small, and the mood frequently drifts toward melancholy, but it’s nice to relax and drift away into a sweet, sad place like this. Besides, there are laughs as well, along with a pretty good sex scene. There’s also a segment where Martin shows Gemma the ins and outs of baking, leading to a scene where she kneads a baguette the way Demi Moore and Patrick Swayzee kneaded clay in Ghost. Subtle, it isn’t, but it’s fun to watch. Gemma Bovery isn’t a must-see movie, but during the summer movie season, where we’re bombarded by one noisy extravaganza after another, how nice it is to have a change of pace. All does not end well in Gemma Bovery, but most of the film serves as an agreeable respite from all the blockbusters. n

Midnight Movie Madness: Blade Runner: The Final Cut w July 3-4, midnight. A neo-noir look at a dystopian Los Angeles, this sci-fi classic deeply immerses you in its world. Amid its rain-swept, adrenaline-soaked atmosphere, detective Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) hunts down a gang of humanoid robots on a killing spree. The film will arrest you with its vibrant futuristic marvels and its ideas about the dark side of human nature. The Keystone Art Cinema is showing the final cut of the film from 2007, which is leaner, grittier and more energetic than the original — and the only version over which director Ridley Scott had complete editorial control.

IMA Summer Nights: Jaws q July 3, 7 p.m. If its mechanical shark hadn’t malfunctioned, Jaws wouldn’t be the masterpiece it is considered today. In the wake of technical difficulties, director Steven Spielberg turned what could have been a mere monster movie into a beach town drama searing with Hitchcockian suspense. As a great white shark terrorizes the island community of Amity, it heats up the conflicts already simmering on shore. Jaws has poignant performances, a sharp screenplay and a palpable sense of dread amid its popcorn fun. Before IMA’s outdoor screening of the film, viewers can lounge in inflatable pools, play with beach toys and enjoy shark-related games. PG, IMA Amphitheater
THE GRANVILLE & THE WINDEMERE IN BROAD RIPPLE
Ted 2 y I had high hopes for this movie. The original Ted was uneven, too long and filled with jokes that fell flat, but the relationship between John (Mark Wahlberg) and his teddy-bear-turned-real Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) was sweet, and the jokes that did work were a riot. I went to the sequel prepared for more of the same, including the duds and dead spots. All I wanted from the movie was the charm of John and Ted’s friendship and a healthy number of gut-busters. But damn it, almost all of the best jokes have been shown in the ads and in clips on talk shows, and the relationship between John and Ted is more frazzled this time around. Worse, there’s a courtroom sequence where MacFarland tries to be inspirational. Inspirational, for Pete’s sake! Some of the jokes still pay off, including a bit of raucous business with Tom Brady. Overall, though, Ted 2 is a drag, even grading on a curve. — ED JOHNSON-OTT

... WITH ERIK FOX Erik Fox is on the brew deck over at Flat12 Bierwerks. If you wonder where he gets all this knowledge, it gathers upon the head of every pint where he collects it with his mustache.
FOOD RECIPES
Question: What is the point of brewing these beers with really high IBUs? I read about them all the time on blogs. I don’t really understand the point of making a beer that’s too bitter to drink. ERIK FOX: Y’aint wrong. There’s really no point in doing anything, when you think about it. I mean, Third Eye Blind’s debut album came out in 1997, as did OK Computer, The Lonesome Crowded West AND Zaireeka. The Barenaked Ladies understood this and sang “It’s all been done” a year later. But people are still making songs. Like music, beer is fun. And you can go anywhere with it. Brewers and beer drinkers appreciate this. It might seem silly to just play the drum tracks on Zaireeka, but it’s an important component to the whole thing and helps you understand it. Hops can complement other attributes of beer in the same way. I think many people new to craft beer dive into high-IBU beverages because those flavors are unlike anything experienced before, having been raised on macrobrew. And your palate is always shifting. I was in love with Torpedo, Ruination and Ranger once, and while those aren’t my go-to beers anymore, I know they’re good. It’s cool if you don’t like super bitter brew. There’s always a new flavor or aroma or “holy-cow-this-is-amazing” experience to be had and, no matter what you do with beer, someone’s going to enjoy it. Question: I think it’s bullshit to call something “homemade” if all you did was cobble together storebought items into a larger assemblage of food. If I scoop some Graeter’s onto some breakand-bake Toll House cookies, I don’t think I should be allowed to say they’re homemade. What are your thoughts here? FOX: I prefer the finer things of the culinary realm: Beer, whiskey, frozen pizza and potato chips. Maybe a dirty martini for Sunday brunch. Before I throw a Jack’s premium 4-chez piz into the oven, I spice it up — literally. Mrs. Dash is my go-to pie enhancer. I’ll even sprinkle some shredded parm CONTINUED ON PAG E 23

YOUR POTATO SALAD SUCKS
Hoosiers, it’s time we talked about potato salad. It’s an abomination of the word “salad,” which is defined as a mixture of clearly-defined ingredients with a variety of textures and flavors that creates a refreshing crunch in the mouth. I don’t care who PHOTO BY SARA MURRELL you are or where you come from, but we can all agree that a “salad” is not a food that could be consumed without most of your teeth. That’s why potato salad as we’ve come to know it is a mockery of the potato. We boil it until it’s all soft and starchy and then we kind of halfmush into a lumpy hillock with mayonnaise and hard-boiled eggs so every barbecue becomes a glimpse into our dystopian, Soylent-flavored future. This recipe gets all the creamy comfort of the potato salad you love, but without the consistency of culinary punishment. The potatoes end up with a light coating of dressing, plus the roasty goodness of an oven-fried potato. The bacon entices tastes that might otherwise be turned off by a “buttermilkbased” potato salad, and it’s really good with a swirl of sriracha overtop. I served mine on a bed of arugula and spinach so it kind of doubles as a salad.
BUY IT:
MAKE IT:
3 lbs. fingerling potatoes 1/2 cup mayo 3/4 cup buttermilk 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon black pepper 4 cloves of roasted garlic, mashed 8 slices of bacon, cooked crispy 1/2 red onion, diced Olive oil Salt and pepper
The grocery store made this easy for me by bagging up red, white and blue fingerling potatoes. I washed and sliced them into equal pieces, leaving the smaller ones whole, salt and peppered them, and roasted them on 425 for about 20 minutes, or until they got some color and got all fried and brown on the sides touching the pan. Let them cool. Crunch up your bacon into little pieces, and mix your mayo, buttermilk, vinegar, paprika, mustard, pepper, and garlic into a dressing. You can add the bacon and onion to the potatoes and keep them together in the fridge if you’re prepping for a party, or toss it together with your liquid and serve on a bed of leafy greens for extra crunch.

I’ve tried making homemade chips and it was a disaster. Why bother grueling over the bragging rights of something being “homemade” when you can grab some Ruffles Sour Cream & Onion for $5? You know it’s going to be good, and you don’t have to waste time preparing it. Do these people wait more than five minutes for a table at a restaurant too? Why not eat as soon as you’re hungry? Question: One of my coworkers brings in a sheet cake *for herself* on her birthday at work. While I love free cake, I also think this is an adulation trap where, by getting a piece of cake, I have to then stop by and wish her a happy birthday. It all seems like a refined
sugar bribe, not to mention a little bit insane. Do I have to say HBD or can I just have my (her) cake at my desk without tipping my hat to the occasion? FOX: Have you ever seen the photo of Kirk Cameron blowing out a birthday cake on a table with half-eaten subs, plus some weird lady standing in the doorway? This is how I envision your situation. It’s like Jerry Seinfeld said: “Birthdays are symbolic of how little we’ve grown...That for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end — inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthday? No such thing.” So, rub the delusions of grandeur in her face. Bring your own cake on her birthday and eat it in front of her, . Don’t let anyone else have a slice.

EXCERPTS FROM “ASK RENEE” Recycling all manner of items, from shower curtains to sunscreen
Old paint
Q:
We own a small painting business and over the years have accumulated paint that has frozen and thawed and is therefore unusable. Do you know if we can take multiple five-gallon paint buckets to ToxDrop? — JULIE
A:
Paint is much better shaken, not stirred, rather than frozen. And old paint is much better off taken to a ToxDrop than poured on the rocks. Indianapolis ToxDrop will accept 20 gallons of liquid waste or 75 pounds of solid waste per visit from Marion County residents. Don’t live in Indianapolis? Most municipalities or counties have household hazardous waste collections throughout the year. Johnson, Hendricks and Hamilton counties all schedule regular collections. Still looking? Just Goodsearch (goodsearch.com) “[your county name] tox drop” to see what’s available. You’ll be raising money for your favorite environmental organization. PIECE OUT, RENEE
Curtains for you!
Q:
Are plastic shower curtains recyclable? The two (liner and decorative) shower curtains in my kids bathroom have “died” — the reinforced holes have torn through. I replaced them with fabric curtains that can be washed over and over, so that was good. — SARAH
A:
I’ve been meaning to answer your question, but I keep thinking of it at the most inopportune times. You know, like when I’m in the shower. All bathroom humor aside though, I’ve got a number one and number two answer for you. 1. RecycleForce (recycleforce.org) can take it and bundle it with like plastics, probably PVC. 2. You can put it in your curbside bin; however, whether or not it will be recycled will depend on the facility it goes to. According to Republic, not every recycling facility has mills that will accept every type of plastic. They recommend putting it in your bin and letting the facility decide (knowing that if they don’t want it, then it will go in the trash).
Fabric curtains are definitely the way to go. Washable, durable and usually much prettier! PIECE OUT, RENEE

The first day of summer was June 21 — sorry I’m a little late to help with your spring cleaning! For starters, if you have barely-used products, consider donating them to a homeless or domestic violence shelter that can use them completely. Otherwise, things like sunscreen, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner bottles can be emptied as best you can into the trash and the bottles can be recycled. Nail polish and aerosol cans should go to a ToxDrop. PIECE OUT, RENEE

Q:
I have a question about spent batteries. For years I took them to the public library, but they discontinued collecting them there. Are places where I can drop off spent batteries without having to drive to a Tox Drop location or wait for a Tox Away day? Thanks. — JULIE
A:
Happy to answer your questions, free of charge. The positive news is that mercury has been eliminated from alkaline batteries, so any battery made within the past 20 years does not pose an environmental risk. Alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, C, 9V, etc.) are made of very recyclable materials, like steel, zinc and manganese. However, due to hazards in storage and the recycling process, not many
Owen-Putnam State Forest (Poland), FREE
places are recycling batteries yet. Interstate Batteries has eight locations in Indiana that will accept all types of batteries for recycling. Their web site claims that they actually recycle more batteries than they sell! Lighting Resources has a location in Greenwood that accepts batteries for recycling during business hours (weekdays, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.) and they were extremely nice and helpful on the phone, assuring me that all batteries go to a smelter where the metals are removed and recycled. They also offer battery recycling kits that you can order online, collect batteries, and return to them for a small fee.

NO END IN SIGHT A
B Y JO NA TH A N SA ND E R S MUSIC@NU VO . N ET
s we talk about Endiana's recent jog through Europe, bassist Tim Fuller asks half jokingly if people would really want to read the real dirt about the excursion. “We were going to call the tour Cannibals, Drug Dogs and a Thousand Dead Bodies. That kind of sums up a lot of what happened in France,” he laughs before lead singer Matthew Aaron breaks into the details. Seems they took up an offer to play a single show in Dublin, and wound up in Paris, breaking bread (“crepes, and red wine,” per Fuller's expansion) with famed “Vampire of Paris” Nico Claux. They then stumbled on the most generous club owner ever, a man named Dom who loaned the duo his bread truck so they could continue the French slate of performances. That's where the drug dogs come in. “We borrowed this man's bread truck and finished the back-half of the tour,”

WHEN: THURSDAY, JULY 23, 6 P.M. WHERE: THE RATHSKELLER, 401 E. MICHIGAN ST. TICKETS: 21+
Aaron says. “And I'm not saying drug dogs got into the back of the truck at any point. And I'm certainly not saying there were drugs in the back of the car.” It seems, parsing everything they're not saying, that they were confronted by eight armed French officers, who made them pull over to the soft shoulder where a canine unit was unleashed upon the back of the club owner's bread truck. But hey, this is a happy story. “At least we didn't wind up in French jail,” Fuller laughs. “We made it to the next show.” This is Endiana, my friends. A band you haven't had the chance to hear in person of late, but rejoice because there's a new album and a new show
on the horizon. The band, and its new lineup, will be performing in July at the Rathskeller, promoting its latest Not a Greatest Hits CD and a DVD project. “Last year we put out two five-song EPs over the course of the year so we could make 'singles' happen as quickly as we were churning them out,” says Aaron. “So our new project allows us to put those two EPs together into a full-length record. We spent the last six months to a year making live videos for our back catalog and those have become the DVD.” Based on the rough edit of the DVD I was able to watch while preparing to interview the band, the DVD serves as a solid introduction to the band's sound for new fans and Endiana veterans alike. Interview clips with Aaron are interspersed between live takes on their strongest material. I compared the material to Billy Joel's Songs in the Attic, which introduced fans of The Stranger to his early work. S E E , E N D I A N A , O N P A GE 3 0

q InCalico has been through lineup changes, benefit shows, and, of late, represented Indy Pride. They’ve been at it for more than three years, but they just released their first full-length album this April. It was worth the wait. InCalico is pop punk at its finest, the kind of stuff that hearkens back to pre-Dookie days, when alternative meant more than that radio station playing the same three songs by Alice in Chains and Radiohead over and over. Ghosts to Show You opens with the aching anthem “Even Though We Won’t,” a song that sets the stage for 10 tracks of ringing powerchords, harmonized vocals and snug drums. The title track is a masterpiece of barely-controlled anger, with lead vocalist/guitarist Jasin Wayne’s voice hovering over heartbreaking lyrics that (more than) hint at substance abuse and sadness: “I’ve made a mess of most of myself/I’ve traded love to worship wine.” The entire album is a bittersweet reckoning of faded youth, shattered love and the disappointment of the day-to-day. Jasin Wayne and Jay Naidoo shred their best, complementing each other with a full, rich sound underlined by punchy bass from Rob Hailey. Alex Bond is a master on drums, hammering on the toms and nailing the crash with precision. His stick-work on “Over and Over,” a fast-paced farewell song, is especially smooth. Same for “We Need This Place,” an ominous tune that threatens to fall into chaos at the bridge but holds it together for one final verse. My favorite track on the album, “Shattered,” features bright, crisp rhythm guitar and rock leads woven around emotional lines that promise “We will be shattered.” Ghosts to Show You is more than strong enough to merit a release with a label like Lookout or Fat Wreck Chords, but the fellas of InCalico did the whole thing in-house. It was recorded, mixed, and produced by their bassist, Rob Hailey, and not a note sounds out of place. Lead singer Jasin Wayne even did the album design and layout, which is nice and haunting. Good pop punk is hard to find. The days of Teen Idols and Face to Face are over, but if bands like InCalico are the face of what’s to come, then I’m ready to bust out my Converse and tight jeans and watch them rock. — EMMA FAESI HUDELSON

“You can be occupied by trying to get a good turnout at your next gig here locally, and especially if you’re playing too much I don’t know where you’re going to find the extra time to even think about working regionally, let alone nationally. We’ve taken a break from that.” — TIM FULLER
ENDIANA,
F R O M P A G E 29
That got Aaron excited. “Live albums seem so much more honest,” Aaron explains. “[The live sound] is what you're gonna get if you come to see us anyway, so we might as well be truthful about what you're gonna see. We have a strong band, guys that really play for the song. We work things out over a period of time to make them go the way we want.” Fuller concurs. “Matt tends to write these stripped-down songs and we … they kind of go wherever they go, once you get everybody else involved,” he says. “Sometimes they don't go very far, and sometimes they get completely changed. We pretty much take everything on an 'as it comes' basis. That is also, I think, influenced by whatever we're listening to at the time, and that's what we liked about doing the EPs. We were operating in real time rather than committing to a group of ten or fifteen songs.” Fuller and Aaron, the only two remaining original members of Endiana, seem excited to get back to playing a big local show, though their absence has been by design. “I think focusing locally is easy to do,” says Fuller. “You can be occupied by trying to get a good turnout at your next gig here locally, and especially if you're playing too much I don't know where you're going to find the extra time to even think about working regionally, let alone 30 MUSIC // 07.01.15 - 07.08.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO
nationally. We've taken a break from that. We used to play a ton when we first started, but now we just play quarterly in town — quality over quantity.” That has freed them up to focus on making their Rathskeller return something to behold, says Fuller. “I think we worked really hard on the presentation we took to gear up, and we're going to have a showcase of what we've developed for that show. It's not going to be the band banging out songs for hours, there's going to be some dynamic to it.” Now that they've made names for themselves both here and abroad, one thing Aaron appreciates is how the Europeans treat music as a legitimate career option. “The whole craft is received differently there,” he says. “It's not just appreciated as an art form, but even more as a business decision for your life, and a necessity for their culture. It's a part of their normal lives, you know?” With the new project complete, Fuller and Aaron are excited to get back into the studio to continue work on their yet-untitled full-length, due out sometime later this year. With the new lineup intact, they have room to explore new territory. “We're really excited about the potential of a new record. Since the time we've been changing — I don't know if evolving is the right word — things have started to move at the pace that we always wanted to. I think that we're finally in a place where everybody understands what the vision is.”n

LISTENING AT THE LIBRARY
or most of my life I've been the guy at the library who is being tapped on the shoulder at 9 p.m. by the security guards reminding me it's time to go home. So the Indianapolis Public Library's venture into creating online materials with 24-hour accessibility has been of great interest to me, particularly when those ventures include music. With the news that the Indy's public libraries recently expanded their online music presence with a free streaming and download platform called Freegal, I decided to check in with the IPL's electronic resources librarian Michael Perry about this new service.
LIVE MUSIC AND KARAOKE ON BROAD RIPPLE’S
LARGEST OUTDOOR PATIO.
A CULTURAL MANIFESTO WITH KYLE LONG KLONG@NUVO.NET Kyle Long’s music, which features off-the-radar rhythms from around the world, has brought an international flavor to the local dance music scene.
NUVO: I was impressed with the range of different music available. There's a complete range of music for all tastes.
NUVO: I was experimenting with the library's Freegal service before we spoke and the structure of the site reminded me a bit of the Spotify music streaming service. But what the library is offering patrons that is unique is the ability to listen to three hours of ad-free music per day and the option to download five songs per week for free.
PERRY: Also you can search by genre. If you click on genres at the top of the screen and scroll down until you hit Latin it opens up a wide variety of music to serve our Latin population. We also have a nice variety of music that is more soothing and relaxing. And here's the beauty of this: Let's say you like listening to rain and thunder or you like listening to waves. You can stream these sounds for three hours, but if you want “The library is trying to reach out and to keep these sounds you give you more venues to experience the can download the rain and thunder even if it's an hourjoy of reading and listening to music.” long track. It still only counts as one download.

MICHAEL PERRY: That's correct and you can explore Sony's vast archive of music as well as 28,000 other catalogs of music, giving you millions and millions of different titles to listen to. The three hours of ad-free music we're bringing you can be used to listen to a second of one song or for listening to a complete album. The five downloads are available as MP3s. We have no digital rights on the music; that means when you download them, they are yours to keep. You can keep them on the device you downloaded them on or move them to any MP3 player. It's yours to do with what you will. No matter what device you use, you should be able to find an app. To sign in all you need is a library card and you'll be off and running in a matter of minutes. NUVO: Can you give us a sense of how this service is being funded? PERRY: These MP3s are a very small part of our total budget. They are paid for through our materials fund. We've had requests for services like this, so we thought this would be a great way to meet the needs of our patrons.
PERRY: The library recently came up with a strategic plan for 2015 to 2020. One of the points of that plan was to answer the digital needs of our patrons. We've brought on Ebooks, online databases, streaming video. We're digitizing yearbooks, as well as the music we've been talking about. One last thing I want to mention, if for some reason you have fines on your library card, that's OK. You can go log onto any electronic device and enjoy these services even if you have fines. The library is trying to reach out and give you more venues to experience the joy of reading and listening to music. We don't want fines on your library card to stand in the way. n

SATURDAY MUSICAL Green Day’s American Idiot 7 p.m. A bit of our review of this show: “I had expected to be annoyed by the story. I walked out on Rent a few years ago because its story of struggling artists was so whiny and self-involved. American Idiot starts out as a similar cliche — three angry young men rebel against life and then check out from it. At first I felt annoyed because it seemed to borrow so much from Hair, Go Ask Alice, Mr and Mrs Bo Bo Jones and more. The story moved beyond the same-old, same-old and looked at why we keep claiming the same stories over and over again, as if ‘idiot’ were written on our birth certificates. As one character says, ‘It’s time to wake up!’ The show becomes something that is simultaneously more complex, more universal, more hopeful and more individual than previous stories.

Any advice on how to delay male orgasm without slowing down? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: Think about Kate Moss in lingerie on that stripper pole in the White Stripes’ “I Don’t Know What to Do With Myself” video, except instead of Kate Moss, it’s your grandmother.

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL you’re focusing on/thinking about (as Sarah suggests) is another way of changing your level of arousal to back on or back off from the “edge”. Finally, you may try all these things and it may just be that your body doesn’t work like this, or that you could only delay for another 10 or 20 seconds. Most men will come pretty quickly with lots of hard thrusting and that’s totally fine! You’re not a robot, you’re a human. Where your penis leaves off, you can always pick up with fingers or a dildo or vibrator or, if you two have a more open situation, in a threesome with a guy with delayed or inhibited ejaculation.

My boyfriend is interested in pegging, and while I’m totally down for this experiment, I hate hate hate the idea that there might be, well, a *mess* afterward. What are some good tips for making sure it all stays pretty clean in the bedroom?
“You may be able to buy yourself 30 seconds or another minute or so of thrusting by using a performance enhancing condoms.”
— DR. D DR. D: Some men have a natural ability to keep thrusting without coming. Others actually feel challenged by this very experience — in other words, they would love love love to come but instead they find it very difficult to come due to being prone to delayed ejaculation (meaning it takes them exceedingly long to come, no matter how much they try or inhibited ejaculation (meaning they don’t come at all, even after lots of stimulation). You may be able to buy yourself 30 seconds or another minute or so of thrusting by using a performance enhancing condom. These typically contain a desensitizing substance inside the condom. Typically they’re used by guys with premature ejaculation looking to buy a little extra time before coming but there’s no reason they couldn’t also be used by someone like you who also wants a little extra time (even though you don’t struggle with PE). Other men enjoy “edging” and find this helps them extend sex a little. During masturbation, you could try getting close and closer to orgasm and then backing off; slowing down is one way of backing off but not the only way and playing with what

— Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: Time to introduce your boyfriend to the ol’ booty douche, aka the enema. You can use the old Shower Shot standby, beloved by many gay men friends who like it squeaky clean. But otherwise, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I promise there’s not just a turd lurking around every corner, waiting to spoil your anal fun.
DR. D: Sarah’s got this one down. Enemas are an option (just don’t make weird homemade concoctions as some of them can cause significant anal irritation) but mostly people just march onward without a major concern. You might also avoid pegging on nights you’ve just eaten burritos or whatever else gets your boyfriend loosy goosy. Otherwise, enjoy! You’ve got a boyfriend with an open mind and you’re willing to enjoy his interests. Sounds like a nice match!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To determine whether you are aligned with the cosmic flow, please answer the following questions. 1. Would you say that your current situation is more akin to treading water in a mosquito-ridden swamp, or conducting a ritual of purification in a clear mountain stream? 2. Have you been wrestling with boring ghosts and arguing with traditions that have lost most of their meaning? Or have you been transforming your past and developing a riper relationship with your roots? 3. Are you stuck in a gooey muck? Or are you building a flexible new foundation?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s the power-building phase of your astrological cycle. To take maximum advantage, convey the following message to your subconscious mind: “I know you will provide me with an abundance of insight, inspiration, and energy for whatever intention I choose to focus on. And during the next four weeks, my intention will be to cultivate, expand, and refine my personal power. I will especially focus on what author Stephen R. Covey called ‘the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.’”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus singer Sam Smith won four Grammys this year, largely on the strength of his hit single “Stay with Me.” The song has a lush gospel choir backing up his lead vocals, or so it seems. But in fact, every voice in that choir is his own. He recorded twenty separate harmony tracks that were woven together to create the big sound. What would be the equivalent in your world, Taurus? How could you produce a wealth of support for yourself? What might you do to surround yourself with a web of help and nourishment? How can you amplify and intensify your efforts so they have more clout? Now would be an excellent time to explore possibilities like these.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I’m a big fan of science and logic and objective thinking. Most of us need more of that good stuff. The world would be a saner, safer place if we all got regular lessons on how to be more reasonable and rational. But in the immediate future, Scorpio, I’ll steer you in a different direction. I believe you will benefit from injecting your imagination with primal raw crazy wild mojo. For example, you might read utopian science fiction and fairy tales about talking animals and poetry that scrambles your intellectual constructs. You could remember your dreams and ruminate about them as if they were revelations from the Great Beyond. You may also find it healthy to fantasize profusely about forbidden and impossible and hilarious adventures.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Born under the sign of Gemini, Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) was a French painter who upset traditionalists. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he wasn’t interested in creating idealistic art based on historical and religious themes. He focused on earthy subjects about which he had direct experience, like the day-to-day lives of peasants and laborers. So even though he became a highly praised celebrity by his midthirties, the arbiters of the art world tried to exclude him. For example, they denied him a place in Exposition Universelle, a major international exhibition in Paris. In response, Courbet built a temporary gallery next door to the main hall, where he displayed his own work. As you strive to get your voice heard, Gemini, I urge you to be equally cheeky and innovative. Buy yourself a megaphone or erect your own clubhouse or launch a new enterprise. Do whatever it takes to show who you really are. Gemini

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I am doing,” said composer John Cage in describing his creative process. That’s excellent counsel for you to meditate on, Cancerian. The less expertise and certainty you have about the rough magic you’re experimenting with, the more likely it is that this magic will lead you to useful breakthroughs. To bolster Cage’s advice and help you get the most from your period of self-reinvention, I offer you this APRIL quote from Picasso: “I imitate everyone except myself.” Leo

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your words of wisdom come from Leo artist Andy Warhol: “Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years, when they could just say, ‘so what.’ That’s one of my favorite things to say. ‘So what.’” Can I interest you in that approach, Leo? It has similarities to the Buddhist strategy of cultivating non-attachment — of dropping your fixations about matters that can’t be controlled or changed. But I suspect you would draw special benefits from the breezy, devil-may-care spirit of Warhol’s version. So start there. Leo

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are lots of inquiries and invitations coming your way — perhaps too many. I don’t think you should pursue all of them. In fact, I suspect that only one would ultimately make you a better human being and a braver explorer and a wiser lover. And that one, at first glance, may have not as much initial appeal as some of the others. So your first task is to dig deep to identify the propositions that are attractive on the surface but not very substantial. Then you’re more likely to recognize the offer that will have lasting value even if it doesn’t make a spectacular first impression. Sagittarius

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I find a lot of people physically attractive, but finding people mentally and spiritually attractive is different and much harder for me.” So says 40ozshawty on her Tumblr page. If you share that frustration, I have good news. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due to encounter a higher-than-usual percentage of mentally and spiritually attractive people in the next six weeks. But I wonder how you’ll deal with this abundance. Will you run away from it, feeling overwhelmed by the prospect that your life could get more interesting and complicated? Or will you embrace it, daringly welcoming the interesting complications? Capricorn

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I think you will generate good fortune for yourself by choosing between two equally invigorating but challenging tasks: losing your illusion or using your illusion. Both are quite worthy of your attention and intelligence. To succeed at either would fuel your emotional growth for months to come. You probably can’t do them both, however. So which will it be: Will you purge the illusion, or put it to work for you? Aquarius

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In her late twenties, J. K. Rowling was a single mother living on welfare. That’s when she began work on her Harry Potter books. Craig Newmark had turned 42 by the time he founded Craigslist. One of the world’s most oft-visited websites is HuffingtonPost.com, which Arianna Huffington established when she was 54. As for Harland Sanders, creator of KFC: He didn’t begin building the global empire of fried-chicken restaurants until the age of 65. I hope the preceding serves as a pep talk, Virgo, reminding you that it’s never to late to instigate the project of a lifetime. The time between now and your birthday in 2016 will be an especially favorable phase to do so. Start ruminating on what it might be. Virgo

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you sometimes imagine yourself to be an underachieving underdog? If so, I suggest you start weaning yourself from that fantasy. Do you on occasion allow people to take advantage of you? It’s time to outgrow that role. Do you ever flirt with being a self-pitying martyr? Say bye-bye to that temptation. Cosmic forces are conspiring to relieve you of tendencies to act in any or all of those ways. I’m not saying you will instantly transform into a swashbuckling hero who knocks people over with your radiant selfassurance. But you will, at the very least, be ready to learn much, much more about how to wield your vulnerability as a superpower. Pisces
