25 YEARS IN 25 WEEKS

In 1996, NUVO hired a new film reviewer named Ed Johnson-Ott. Ed’s been with the paper ever since. We mention Ed because this Saturday night, Ed and a bunch of other Indy natives will be reliving their misspent youth at an event at Radio Radio; it’s a CD release party. The CD in question? Early Indiana Punk and New Wave, The Crazy Al’s Years 19761983. Ed, you see, was part of a band called the Future who appear on that disc. (We’ll have a LOT more on that CD soon in NUVO.) Lucky for Indy, Ed took to writing movie reviews for us. We dug back to the year Ed started (from the issue released on Dec 5, 1996) and found one of his earliest pieces, a take on the live-action version of Disney’s 101 Dalmations, which ended with: 101 Dalmatians has cute puppies and a hoot of a performance from Glenn Close, but not enough to warrant enduring third-rate slapstick, bland characters and unconvincing animatronic raccoons highfiving one another. Rent the cartoon! Ed gave the flick a five out of 10 points on the scale NUVO was using back then, which directed the viewer to “wait until video” to see the film. That was ‘90s speak for “forget it until you’re looking for a timekill on Netflix.” — Ed Wenck

State ramps up Ebola response Indiana has no reported or confirmed cases of Ebola within the state, but healthcare providers and emergency responders are preparing for the worst in case that changes. The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is increasing response efforts to make sure all partners, providers, and workers know what to do. A healthcare provider hotline has been established for workers to learn about Ebola screening and diagnosis. ISDH is also working with the Department of Education to inform and train school nurses. Local health departments and the Indiana Department of environmental management is reviewing procedures for hazardous waste disposal. ISDH will hold weekly calls with hospitals and local health departments along with regular contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We are so proud of the teens on our Youth Council to have developed a plan to correct that.” The website, Stand4Respect.org, will feature conversation starters, listening hints, models of respectful healthy relationships, and how-to videos. The Youth Council’s campaign also includes social media posts, public services announcements, and letters to newspaper editors, school administrators, and parents.

Mike Pence opted to end Indiana’s bid for up to $80 million in federal pre-kindergarten funding, a move that appeases some conservatives as he mulls a 2016 presidential run. Pence said he’s concerned about strings attached to the money. Democrats complained Thursday that the Republican governor is throwing away an opportunity to expand a pilot program that is set to open next year to children in only five counties. But Hoosiers Against Common Core — a conservative group that had lobbied Pence not to seek the grant — called the move a “ray of hope.” The decision comes as Pence is considering a run for president and facing criticism from conservatives for seeking federal Medicaid money to expand a state health care program for the poor. Pence has defended that decision but told the state’s Early Learning Advisory Committee this week that the conditions attached to the pre-kindergarten money are too great. — THE STATEHOUSE FILE 6 NEWS // 10.22.14 - 10.29.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

DEFENDING THE DEFENSE

The Attorney General’s office addresses the responsibility of defending the state’s marriage law

BY A M BER S TEA RN S AS T E A R N S @ N U V O . N E T

t has been just over two weeks since the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Indiana’s cert petition and effectively changed marriage equality in the state. Although the dust has settled and marriage rights are now recognized, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller continues to field criticism and questions about the role his office played in defending the now outdated marriage law and all costs associated with that defense. Bryan Corbin, spokesman for the AG’s office, took the time to answer specific questions about the role of the Attorney General’s office in one of the most heated debates to travel through the federal court system. NUVO: You have stated several times that the money spent to defend the state’s traditional marriage statue was within the Attorney General’s budget. BRYAN CORBIN: That is correct. The operations of the Attorney General’s Office are funded out of our annual budget of approximately $19 million that the Legislature approved in April 2013 and that funds our legal representation in all our cases. NUVO: What part of the AG’s budget specifically does this come out of? What is it typically used for? CORBIN: Approximately $17.7 million of our overall budget is for personnel (attorneys, paralegals, law clerks, staff) who constitute state government’s law firm: the Attorney General’s Office. Another $1.2 million is for operating expenses. Together this covers our work representing the State in court in approximately 2,700 civil lawsuits and 1,300 new criminal appeals each year, including the case you asked about. NUVO: Can you give a specific figure from the budget line item that was spent specifically on the marriage equality fight?

PHOTO BY MARK A. LEE

The Indiana General Assembly sets the Attorney General’s budget which covers operating expenses for any and all cases worked. The AG’s office says there was no “special” money used to defend the state’s marriage law.

CORBIN: As the state government’s lawyer whose budget is determined by the Legislature in advance, we do not track billable hours per case or charge our state government client billable hours like a private law firm would. Individual cases do not have dedicated or individual line items in the budget; we fund our attorneys’ salaries from the personnel budget and all non-salary expenses from the operation budget for all cases. Our in-house salaried attorney who was assigned to this case would have been paid the same salary whether plaintiffs’ lawyers filed this lawsuit or not. NUVO: Is the budget drained of funds? CORBIN: No, neither the personnel nor operational budgets of the office are exhausted. One attorney worked on the case over a six-month period amid his caseload of many other unrelated cases that he handles. Unlike a criminal trial or a private class-action lawsuit that involves substantial discovery and lengthy deposi-

tions, legal work on a legal challenge like this is quite streamlined, as there usually is not significant discovery to obtain nor witnesses to depose. A challenge to a statute typically involves straightforward battle of legal arguments between one side’s lawyer and another side’s lawyer, and the court decides. As mentioned, our attorney is an on-staff salaried attorney who is assigned multiple cases simultaneously and whose compensation would have been the same whether this marriage case had been filed or not. NUVO: Did the legislature approve the AG’s budget with the idea that money would be spent to defend the state’s marriage law? CORBIN: The agency’s 2014 budget was approved by the Legislature in April 2013, one year before the lawsuit was filed. We cannot speak for the 150 legislators, but when the Legislature passes a state budget allocating funds for the state government’s law firm for

tration of Steve Carter. What prompted the creation this office?

CORBIN: Correct. No outside counsel was used.

CORBIN: Most state AG offices around the nation follow the model of having a Solicitor General who represents that state in the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts and the state’s supreme court in important matters of constitutional law and complex legal challenges. The U.S. Department of Justice has its own U.S. Solicitor General who represents the federal government before the U.S. Supreme Court, and most state AG offices now follow that model in utilizing their own solicitors general.

NUVO: Were there any new hires in the department during this time to help with the workload associated with defending the state’s marriage law?

NUVO: What changed in the Attorney General’s office, or the general landscape, that required the creation of this office?

CORBIN: Not specifically for this case. During the six-month duration of this case, some new law clerks joined the Attorney General’s Office to fill vacancies, but none were hired specifically to work on this case; and now that the case is over, none are being let go.

CORBIN: The development of state solicitors general in state AGs offices goes back to the mid-1980s and the view expressed by then-Chief Justice William Rehnquist that states should be represented in the U.S. Supreme Court by experienced Supreme Court appellate counsel. That led the National Association of Attorneys General — a researchtraining organization that works with state AGs in all 50 states — to establish the Supreme Court Project, which in turn encouraged states to develop solicitor general positions, and many states began to do so. Prior to AG Steve Carter, previous Indiana attorneys general hired lawyers with the title “special counsel” who handled U.S. Supreme Court work. Thomas M. Fisher was

NUVO: You have also stated on several occasions stated that no outside counsel with billable hours was used to defend Indiana’s marriage law.

NUVO: How many people in the AG’s office were dedicated to this project? Were they exclusive or was the case a part of their regular workload? CORBIN: No one person was devoted “exclusively” to the marriage lawsuit. Solicitor General Thomas M. Fisher was the salaried attorney in our office who entered an appearance in this case, but as noted during the six-month duration of this case he continued to work on his caseload of other, unrelated cases. He was assisted by other AG’s Office staff members, amid their duties in many other cases that constitute our agency caseload. NUVO: Was all of the work specific to the defense of Indiana’s marriage law specific to the Office of the Solicitor General or was some of the work delegated to different departments? CORBIN: The Solicitor General Division is a division of the Attorney General’s Office, not an office in itself. The Solicitor General was the attorney who entered an appearance in the Baskin litigation, with assistance by others in our office. NUVO: The position of Solicitor General was created in 2005 in the AG adminis-

originally hired as special counsel in 2001. When AG Steve Carter formally created the solicitor general position in 2005, Mr. Fisher continued on in that new role. NUVO: How has the office of Solicitor General changed in almost 10 years of existence? CORBIN: While the position might be more high-profile now, the duties have remained largely consistent over the past decade. Overall volume of cases might be somewhat greater than a decade ago as is true for the entire Attorney General’s Office caseload. Our office and AG offices in other states routinely participate in submitting amicus briefs (friend of the court briefs) that are filed in the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal courts; we routinely join briefs that other states author and occasionally author briefs that other states join, and that process is supervised by the Solicitor General. The U.S. Supreme Court has encouraged states through their state AG offices to submit amicus briefs in cases of importance to state governments. n

hances are good, if you’re interested in local music even in the most casual of ways, you know Secretly Canadian. The Bloomington label, founded by a group of young dudes obsessed by the local music in their college town, grew from ‘90s upstart to indie music behemoth. Now a conglomeration of four labels, plus distribution and manufacturing arms, the Secretly Label Group helped develop Bloomington’s long-flourishing music scene into a full-fledged indie music capital.

And we bet you know Joyful Noise Recordings – after all, founder Karl Hofstetter possesses some sort of magic touch. He convinced Sebadoh and Half Japanese to release new albums after years of silence and made flexi-discs cool again, while maintaining a steady release schedule of essentially perfect local albums. But Central Indiana is filled with all manner of record labels carving out their niches in interesting ways. Auris Apothecary, a secretive nonprofit label, released a Mike IX Williams cassette coated in glass shards a few years back. Stephen Craig’s Eonian Records quietly puts out an eclectic mix of long-lost ‘80s hard rock from the genre’s heyday for eager, archive-hungry collectors. PlanIt-X Records will mark 20 years of DIY punk releases with a 20-band comp this year. And there are so many more. Some of these labels were created purely as a means for locals to release their own music, growing from there. Others, like Drink or Die and GloryHole, were born out of tight-knit scenes. All of them are advocates for good music; they’re cheerleaders for bands they believe in; they’re organizers and relentless promoters; they’re the people getting music into hands. These labels, from the micro-iest of the micro, to, well, Secretly Canadian, are a vital part of our local music ecosystem. If you ask a local label why they released a particular record, and the answer is almost always, “Because I really, really liked it.”

So, in the grand tradition of NUVO listings, we rounded them up. We called every label we knew had records on the horizon and asked: What’s next? The answers were so extensive, we had to narrow our list down to 42 labels and an average of six releases each – three from this year and three from next. We hope you use this guide to plan your record purchases for the upcoming year (and start saving now because we guarantee you’ll want a bunch). The local labels on this list run the gamut of genres and formats. Some of them are more than 40 years old; some were founded last month. A few release records on vinyl only; others are purely digital. Almost all share one commonality: They release music by Hoosier artists. A few extra details: This guide is focused on our distribution areas of Indianapolis and Bloomington (Hey, we distribute in Bloomington now! Cool, right?), plus we threw in a few other notable Central Indiana labels. Questions are omitted when they don’t apply; labels that are currently inactive are not included. And yes, we’re aware there are even more Central Indiana labels than the hefty 42 listed here, so we’ll continue updating this list on NUVO.net with labels like Chapel of Crimes, Chroma Recordings, Marching Sunn and Ritual Knife. And keep your eyes out for our Nov. 5 issue of NUVO, when we’ll release a major story on an exciting new label launching this month in Indianapolis.

CROSSROADS OF AMERICA

Founded: 1999, by Sufjan Stevens and Lowell Brams. Officially based in Lander, Wyoming, but has a very active presence and office in Indy. Formats: Digital, CD, vinyl, cassette Highlights from 2014, according to John Beeler: “I can't choose! This year has been a banner year for AKR. There is not a single thing we've released that I haven't listened to dozens of times and enjoyed every minute.” Upcoming releases: Lily & Madeleine – Fumes, new album from Liz Janes In brief: “Sufjan and Lowell started the label as a familial experiment in do-it-yourself (before DIY was a widely used acronym). The label still embodies that spirit. All of our artists do a lot of the work themselves. And everyone is connected to someone on the label. It's one big family, with everything that entails! For us, it's more about finding hard-working, creative people than their particular genre.” Next year: “It'll be a slightly slower year. 2014 was our busiest ever. But I think people will be surprised by the quality of what's arriving next year. Many of our artists, who've been developing their sound for years, have ‘unlocked’ the code and are figuring out who they are as people and what they sound like as musicians. It'll be an exciting year.” Hoosier artists include: Liz Janes, Lily & Madeleine, DM Stith, Jookabox

Founded: 2006 by husband&wife members Will Rose, Tim Felton, Bryant Fox and Mike Adams Formats: CD, LP, cassettes, 7"s, card decks Highlights from 2014: husband&wife – I Know You Know What I Know, Bro Stephen – The Shape Upcoming releases: I Saw It All Unfold – The Complete Recordings of Annabel Lee, Possible husband&wife live album/DVD, new stuff from Frank Schweikhardt In brief, according to Mike Adams: “Primarily created as an outlet for husband&wife to release their own music, XRA quickly grew into a collective of like–minded bands and artists. Up to now we've released music by some of our absolute favorites; Mount Eerie, Starflyer 59, Rodeo Ruby Love, husband&wife, Metavari, Frank Schweikhardt ... just to name a few.” Next year: “We've scaled back considerably in the last year, so probably not much will change, though we do hope to have a few new records out next year!” Hoosier artists: almost 100 percent

AURIS APOTHECARY Founded: 2009, by Dante Augustus Scarlatti, Pendra Gon and Ancient Pine Formats: Cassette, lathe cut records, floppy disc, ¼" tape reels, VHS, CD, tape loops, 8–track Highlights from 2014: Dante Augustus Scarlatti – Ameritheism, Book of Sand – The Bees and the Butterflies, Deserter – Sister Cities Upcoming releases, according to Scarlatti: “Our 100th release, which is the physical/metaphorical culmination of our first 5.5 years in existence, is coming in the next few weeks, and we couldn't be more excited.” In brief: “Auris Apothecary is a micro-label that releases limited editions of audio/visual art on a multitude of formats, with packaging that attempts to push creative innovation. We seek a physical interaction between consumer and artists, and strive to create unique sensory experiences that are tangible. There are zero boundaries to the genres we support, and our ever-growing roster of artists are located throughout the region and world.” Next year: “New website, new logo, new storefront, new formats, new shirts, more frequent release schedule; our entire infrastructure is being tweaked for the beginning of a brand new chapter.” Hoosier artists: 65 percent

There are two divisions, Organic and Synthetic. Not to cause confusion, but to appreciate differences and attempt to understand different opinions, tastes and styles. We want to put out inspiring music by incredible individuals, no matter the style. The divisions are only intended to guide those who like one artist to [other artists] more similar first.”

DRINK OR DIE RECORDS Founded: 2013 by Patrick Mitchell, Nick Selm and James Lyter Formats: Vinyl, digital Upcoming releases: New music from The Icks, Love Moon (formerly Male Bondage) NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 10.22.14 - 10.29.14 // COVER STORY 9

In brief, according to Lyter: “Nick once described us as ‘two-bit show promoters and a one-bit label.’ We are not the most expansive operation and we are not super professional about everything, or anything really. Our release for Trophy Lungs last year was arranged via text messaging with their bassist Kelly, and most of that was just jokes. We like doing this, it's fun for us, so we just keep doing it. Some people spend money on Magic cards or Colts games, we put out records.” Next year: “In the next year, we are hoping to work with mostly local artists. One of our biggest concerns is encouraging local bands to get out on the road and tour!” Hoosier artists: 60 percent

everyone MUST HEAR!) to songwriters like Mike Adams, who is cranking out some of the best records of all time right before our very eyes. I plan on doing Flannelgraph forever, so, to quote 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, 'Whether you like it or you don't like it, learn to love it, because it's the best thing going today!' “ Next year: “Hopefully we'll come up with some new ways to get the word out about the label. We have a small group of supporters who are very awesome, but I feel like there are still lots of people out there who would enjoy our releases if we could just do a better job of letting them know they exist.” Hoosier artists: 50 percent

GALT HOUSE RECORDS

DURTIMYNDZ ENTERTAINMENT Founded: 2013 by Jeff and Mary Kinney Formats: digital, CD Highlights from 2014: Berzerker Mode – Bum Poetry Upcoming releases: new releases from Magnum Opus, Berzerker Mode In brief, according to the Kinneys: “DurtiMyndz Entertainment loves hosting local hip–hop showcases and bringing national artists to the Indianapolis area. Over the past year we have brought some amazing artists and have had some really awesome shows. Upcoming shows include more national artists such as: Caskey, Lil Debbie, Stitches, Boondox, Big Hoodoo, Primer 55, Lil Flip, !Mayday!, Ces Cru and Murs to name a few.” Next year: “We plan to continue to host local and national showcases as well as get our artists out of state performances and get their music heard around the surrounding area. We're currently building a studio for recording as well.” Hoosier artists: 100 percent

EONIAN RECORDS Founded: 2008 by Stephen Craig Formats: CD, digital Highlights from 2014: Shake City – Self-titled, Charlotte – Medusa Groove, Murder Bay – Never Was An Angel Upcoming releases: Cold Shot – Self-titled, Rock 'n Roll Rebels and The Sunset Strip – Volumes I & II In brief, according to Craig: “Eonian Records is an American archive record label specializing in extremely rare and often never released hard rock and metal from the 1980s and early 1990s, with a keen attention to detail, high-quality re-mastering and kick-ass packaging.”

Don Muro - Flannelgraph Next year: “We get lots and lots of inquiries from collectors and audiophiles about vinyl albums, so we have listened.” Hoosier artists: 20 percent

FAMILY VINEYARD Founded: 1999 by Eric Weddle Formats: vinyl, CD, DVD Highlights from 2014: Kid Millions & Jim Sauter – Fountain Upcoming releases: Dow Jones and the Industrials – Can't Stand the Midwest 1979–1981, Akira Sakata & Jim O'Rourke with Chikamorachi & Merzbow – Flying Basket, Loren Connors – Blues: The 'Dark Paintings' of Mark Rothko reissue of 1990 LP In brief, according to Weddle: “Family Vineyard is an artist-centric label based in Indianapolis. It was established in 1999 to release uncompromising and iconoclast visions from all corners of the globe. Our motto is ‘Newfangled and archival sounds aged to perfection.’ But I always thought John Darnielle nailed it when he wrote: '... Family Vineyard occupy a particular corner of the music universe, serving up equal parts talent, ambition and pretension from people who don't shrink from the word 'artist' and who make honest, blood–leaking efforts to be worthy of the name.'“ Next year: “This year was a very quiet for Family Vineyard with only one album coming out.

(visible) inactivity was mostly due to extreme vinyl manufacturing catastrophes (three planned released have been now been bumped in 2015...). Next year will be the start of Family Vineyard's 15th year and I plan to not only release a slew of new music and reissues, but bump up local visibility and involvement.” Hoosier artists include: Apache Dropout, Mad Monk, Dow Jones and The Industrials, Hoi Polloi, Sitar Outreach Ministry

FLANNELGRAPH RECORDS Founded: 2009 by Jared Cheek Formats: vinyl, cassette, CD, digital Highlights from 2014: Mike Adams At His Honest Weight – Best of Boiler Room Classics, Scharpling & Wurster – Rock, Rot & Rule, Yuuki Matthews – Funny Morning Upcoming releases: Unreleased Don Muro album of love songs from 1969 to 1974, Mike Adams At His Honest Weight LP, top secret tribute album In brief, according to Cheek: “We're trying to do our best with the time and resources that we have to share worthwhile music with the world in a fun and honest way. Our releases have been all over the place but I think some common themes are Christmas, Starflyer 59, professional wrestling, comedy and a proud enjoyment of life here in Indiana. Our catalog is all over the place — from novelty releases like the 1993 answering machine tapes of a movie theater in Wisconsin (which

Founded: 2011 by Jake Amrhein Formats: vinyl, cassettes, CD Highlights from 2014: My Endless Minutes – Compilation Vol. I-III, Dessa Sons – 7", Wounded Knee/Monoliths Split 7'' Upcoming releases: – Three way 7" with GRYSCL, Canyons, Wounded Knee, Three way 10" with Gillian Carter, Citycop, Wounded Knee, Ghost Town Collective collaboration In brief, according to Amrhein: “Mostly I'm broke; it's financial suicide at first, especially if you just dive in by yourself with no experience like an idiot. I get to say cool things like "I run a record label"...but by far the most useful and important part of this ‘label’ has been making the connections and friendships across the country and internationally that I've made in the past four years. That sounds really corny and lame to print I guess, but it's true.” Next year: “Hopefully the amount of money that I can put into it; eventually I definitely plan on running a DIY punk venue/bar of my own with a handful of some close associates (and maybe another local label or two) – but a venue of my own could still be three or five years away.” Hoosier artists include: Wounded Knee, Coma Regalia, Brighter Arrows, Air Hockey, Crescent Ulmer, Sirius Blvck, Grxzz

GLORYHOLE RECORDS Founded: 2010 by Jimmy Peoni Formats: vinyl, digital, cassette Highlights from 2014: No Coast – 7'', Ampersand Blues Band – Selftitled, FSDC Volume 3 Upcoming releases: New releases from Last IV, Raw McCartney, Bloody Mess, Pnature Walk. In brief, according to Peoni: “GloryHole Records is a small, mom and pop, boutique label documenting a period of music from the Midwest Indiana region.”

Founded: 1976 by Bob Richert Formats: vinyl, CD, digital Highlights from 2014: No releases yet this year; Gulcher is transitioning back to vinyl. Upcoming releases: Various Artists – Different Drum (Soundtrack album for a movie by Evansville filmmaker Kevin Chenault/Blackstrap Pictures) Various Artists – Gizmo Nation (Covers of the 15 tracks on the three original Gizmos EPs), Hypocrite In A Hippy Crypt – Lost In Better Days In brief, according to Richert: “Back in the mid'70s, Gulcher was born in Bloomington, Indiana, as one of the earliest small independent labels and fanzines. Propelled to legendary status by the release of the first Gizmos EP, Gulcher championed the low-fi DIY revolution before it was even born. Most of the Gulcher releases were of the raw basic punk variety. The band was learning to play before your very eyes … mistakes and all! Inspired mistakes! Later releases were a bit varied stylistically, yet all stayed true to the DIY ethic that would begin to spread around the US in the early80s. Part 1 of the Gulcher Story faded as the music moved away from the punk ethic that had started it. Flash forward nearly 20 years, and Gulcher re-emerged, reactivated and re-energized. A few Gizmos songs had been bootlegged on punk compilations, and this was just the inspiration Gulcher needed to reissue the legendary Gizmos EPs. Then more Gizmos, MX-80 Sound, Afrika Korps, Thundertrain, Panics, O. Rex, Dancing Cigarettes, Angel Corpus Christi, Screamin' Mee-Mees. And before anyone knew it, Gulcher was back, with new young (and young at heart) artists: Kurt Vile, Home Blitz, Magik Markers, Crawlspace, Tim Carroll, Meercaz, Mykal Xul, Hypocrite In A Hippy Crypt. Next year: Gulcher will be returning to its vinyl roots. Hoosier artists: 100 percent

HOLY INFINITE FREEDOM REVIVAL Founded: 2009 by Jon Rogers Formats: cassette Highlights from 2014: Digital Dots – Greatest Hits, Golden Moses – Face Boot, The Day Offs – self-titled. Upcoming releases: Creeping Pink – Holy Black Acid Family, State Park – OCDC, David Barajas – Red Minutes In brief, according to Rogers: “It's a small–run cassette label of mostly Indiana artists, usually pretty weird ones, but we have more pop–leaning releases sometimes too. I want artists to have complete control over what they do. The label exists to support them and show the outside world some of the music I think deserves more listeners. I guess it would also be considered a ‘bandcamp’ label, since that's our main internet presence.” Next year: “I haven't planned on many changes, just doing as many releases as I can, and getting help when I can. I definitely don't make money from this. I always give the artists half the copies of their tape to sell or give away as they please, and I want it to stay that way.” Hoosier artists: 100 percent

HOUSEPLANT RECORDS Founded: 2008 by Jeff Grant and Erin Tobey Formats: vinyl, cassette Highlights from 2014: The Sands – Hotel & Casino (co–released with Let's Pretend Records), Technicolor Teeth – Teenage Pagans Upcoming releases: Early work of Future Virgins (co–released with Let's Pretend Records) . In brief, according to Grant: “Houseplant started as a way to release our own music, since Erin and I are both musicians. At some point we realized we'd be making music forever, so we might as well create a platform that would exist alongside of us, for better or for worse. We very quickly came across friends who were in similar positions, that is to say they were making records and didn't have anyone to release them. Maybe

they were too unknown or too landlocked to get picked up [by] the larger punk labels, but still had the drive to tour and push the music on their own. We take a lot of pride in each release and make sure that the look and sound are high-quality.” Next year: “It's hard to say. We've been making it up as we go along for seven years now. Every year I say we're gonna do more than the previous year, but at some point I don't think it's up to us. It's just whatever happens, happens. Rather than have a goal to release 20 records a year, I'd rather strive to to still be releasing records in 20 years.” Hoosier artists: 80 percent

The label was founded on the principles of allowing artists creative control and releasing music that partners were passionate about. Indie 500 Records is also not bound to any specific genre of music. We have released product on virtually all formats. We have released records by Shelby County Sinners, Kaleidostars, Wonderdrug, Jane Jensen, The Fuglees, Stereo Deluxe, Chevy Downs, Push Down & Turn, Mars or the Moon, Carbellion and Chad Harvey, to name of few.” Next year: “We plan on presenting a series of live showcases throughout the year featuring our artists.

artistically honest, exploratory and often haphazard musicians. We're not your standard noise or experimental label; nor are we interested in typical indie rock.

Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they cry, but we still love them no matter what, even when they wake us up at 3 a.m.” Upcoming releases: New releases from Cooked Books, State Champs, Jade TV, Dave Segedy In brief: “We're the soundtrack to that time you were on your couch in your living room and really wanted some cheese puffs, but they were in the kitchen and you didn't want to get up and get them. We release music to coincide with situations like that. Hopefully it gives them some motivation to get up and get some cheese puffs, cause cheese puffs rule so much. Our objective with Jurassic Pop is to showcase as much new and interesting Midwestern music as we can. Right up until we bankrupt ourselves.” Next year: “We've got a lot of new bands, and hopefully we'll be able reach out to a bigger base of people than ever before.” Hoosier artists: 71.4 percent

Wolf New label notes, according to Vorndran: “In Store Recordings will be phasing out, and I will be partnering with Corey Barnes and we will be starting Lovebird Records. We will also be starting lovebirdrecords.tv, which will be a website focused on filming and doing live sessions with bands both on and off the label. We will be primarily releasing everything on vinyl, but also will be doing tape releases as well. There really isn't a number or percentage of Indiana bands we will focus on for releases, but we plan to always be working or releasing music with Indiana bands.” Hoosier artists: S.M.

In brief, according to Campbell: “Oi! the Boat Records is a DIY punk-rock label. It's run by two friends who cut our teeth in the music industry through years of touring at home and abroad. The goal of the label is simple: we put out music

that we love. There's no pomp or pretense with the label. Records are still hand–stuffed into sleeves over beers the way we've been doing it since our first release.” Next year: “We plan to continue putting out records as long as we're able.” Hoosier artists: “We've worked with a few Indiana bands in the past, but haven't worked with any recently. It's not that we wouldn't love to work with some Hoosier artists, we just haven't found any bands in state that would fit well with the label.”

since most of our artists were touring but we have a ton of projects slated for 2015. Besides the three upcoming releases mentioned above we have projects coming from local favorites Andy D, Cool Hand Lex a.k.a.

Upcoming releases: 20-band LP compilation called It Came From Plan-It-X with zine, sticker, trading cards In brief, according to Clavin: “We are a not-formuch-profit DIY punk label that focuses on the edge of punk, the punks that don't really fit it with punks. We release hooded-sweatshirt punk. We release a lot of folk-punk music as well. In 20 years, we have released over 140 titles, if you count the 'zines and tapes.” Next year: “Less releases, since people stopped buying physical music. Well, they are are slowing way down anyway.” Hoosier artists: 40 percent

Since the label’s launch Rad Summer has continually pushed the proverbial envelope with forward-thinking releases from producers and recording artists around the globe. Focused on vibe versus genre, the Rad Summer brand has been associated with a wide variety of music including EDM, indie dance and hip-hop.” Next year: “We had a slower year release–wise,

Founded: 2012 by Dan Wagoner and Chad Kinner Formats: CD, digital, vinyl Highlights from 2014: Kel – Nightfall, Native Run – “Good On You” single, Alanna Story – Ancient Gates Upcoming releases: Jon McLaughlin Christmas EP, new music from Andy Davis, Sara Bareilles In brief, according to Ben Cooley: “Rivet Merch is a full service merch company providing artists with affordable online merch stores and order fulfillment. While we're not a record label, we certainly function in very similar ways when it comes to positioning our artists in front of new audiences and having a vested interest in their success. In addition to facilitating e-commerce sales and shipping product to fans, Rivet serves as a strategic partner for artists by focusing on the little details of each album cycle.” Next year: “We see next year as a huge opportunity for growth. We expect to grow our team in the coming year to offer more support services for our artists, and to provide more creative strategies to help maximize our artists’ music. We also have been looking in to building a crowdfunding platform for our artists, so the early stages of that will most likely start to roll out next year.” (Editor’s note: While not a traditional label, Rivet is too interesting to leave out.)

SACRED PHRASES Founded: 2010 by Adam Meyer Formats: cassette, digital Highlights from 2014: Guenter Schlienz – Treehut Visions, Samantha Glass – Surface Water Perception, Mårble – Two Women & Tiger Upcoming releases: MAIA – 29 (Ramona Gonzalez of Nite Jewel), Ekin Fil – Winter Now, Pulse Emitter – Euphoria In brief, according to Meyer: “Sacred Phrases exists to distribute outsider sounds, mostly on cassette, some stuff digitally.

pop and non–genre sounds. Fort Wayne, is something of a non–consideration in a way, we could be anywhere... but we grew up here. In so many ways Indiana is great for our art making in that it has provided the opportunity to create a place alongside the art.

package to be so frustratingly steep that I resolved to put whatever resources I could muster to the service of bands I might encounter who could benefit from any of my trial, error, or success. In Kam Kama I had quickly learned how demoralizing it can be to contact strangers at record labels who will likely never open your email, let alone hear your recordings or respond in any way, so I figured if I could save even a few bands from that uncertainty by getting in touch with them first, it would be time well spent. So far Sister Cylinder is putting out bands that could reasonably be described as ‘goth’ or ‘new wave,’ but the most important factor is and always will be an act's ability to completely infiltrate my daydreams with its material.” Next year: “Next year we will begin releasing bands outside Indiana with the Secret Lover and Transfix records; I also hope next year to get Sister Cylinder into the reissue game, with any of several out-of-print records that I am obsessed by.” Hoosier artists: 50 percent

SECRETLY LABEL GROUP Founded: Secretly Canadian in 1996 by Ben Swanson, Chris Swanson, Eric Weddle, Jonathan Cargill; Jagjaguwar in 1996 by Darius Van Arman; Dead Oceans in 2007 by Secretly Canadian and Jagjaguwar owners and Phil Waldorf; Chicago–based reissue label Numero was added to the group in 2013. Formats: vinyl, CD, digital, cassette Highlights from 2014: (Secretly Canadian): Damien Jurado – Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son, The War on Drugs – Lost In The Dream, Electric Youth – Innerworld; (Jagjaguwar): Angel Olsen – Burn Your Fire For No Witness, Sharon Van Etten – Are We There, Foxygen – … And Star Power; (Dead Oceans): Strand of Oaks – HEAL, Bear in Heaven – Time Is Over One Day Old, Mark McGuire – Along The Way, Greylag – Greylag Upcoming releases: Songs:Ohia – Didn't It Rain (reissue on Secretly Canadian), Mark McGuire – Noctilucence EP (Dead Oceans), Viet Cong – Viet Cong (Jagjaguwar) In brief, according to Nick Blandford: “While our labels cover a wide range of sound and genre, we always seek artists who create classic and timeless work. These days, there aren't a lot of musicians who set out to be rock stars. Most simply want to make a living from their music so that they can do that full–time. So our goal is to help facilitate that for artists in a manner which still treats their art with dignity. Even though we have staff in multiple offices now, the majority of our staff is in Bloomington. We take great pride in calling Indiana our home.” Next year: “The landscape of the music business is constantly changing, so our daily challenge is to learn and evolve to survive and thrive. One certain thing is that we'll release 40-plus records across the four labels.” Hoosier artists: “Our catalog includes many Hoosier acts such as Panoply Academy, Marmoset, The Impossible Shapes, Odawas, Early Day Miners and Zero Boys.”

productive state of mind. Starting the label felt like a pretty natural progression from the general work ethic going on in the house already. Right now, our releases are both in the electronic realm, but that is more of a coincidence than a philosophy.” Next year: “Right now, our releases are being driven by social acquaintance on one level or another. This is certainly a super fun way to start a label, but we are going to be approaching some people we do not know so well in the new year, simply because we like their music. We are also in that phase right now where we are welcoming demos in any and all forms, so that may help us find some people that are not already on our radar.” Hoosier artists: 100 percent

Indiana Author Award winner Michael Shelden on the importance of biography

B Y S CO TT S H O G ER SS H O G E R @ N U V O . N E T

istorian, biographer and ISU professor Michael Shelden says he’s “grateful” to have been awarded the Indiana Authors Award’s top prize — the National Author award, given to a “writer with Indiana ties, whose work is known and read throughout the country” — because it demonstrates that a jury that has typically given the award to fiction writers “understands that history, and certainly the kind of history that I’m trying to write, involves the imagination.” For Shelden, who’s written biographies of George Orwell, Graham Greene, Mark Twain and, most recently, Winston Churchill, it’s important for a historian to have the almost novelistic skill of conjuring a world using letters, diaries, interviews and other archival materials. It’s why an Oklahoma-born and Indiana-based writer can write about British culture as convincingly as any native. According to Shelden, early readers of one of his first books, about the British literary critic Cyril Connolly and the ‘40s journal Horizon, were convinced that the author must have been a fellow Brit. Michael Shelden And it’s that kind of facility with British English that led to his job as North American correspondent for London’s Daily Telegraph. He worked for the Telegraph from 1995 to 2007, an experience he calls “a second graduate school,” when he became “the kind of professor who actually does what he teaches.” Shelden’s book Young Titan: The Early Years of Winston Churchill, filled with at least five marriage proposals and plenty of romance, is in development as a miniseries by Carnival Films, the producers of Downton Abbey. He’s working now on a book about Herman Melville and Moby Dick. NUVO: As an American writing about England, does it help to be an outsider? You might not take things for granted that a native would?

outsider and that I couldn’t write as well about Indiana because I was too close to it. But now — and it’s a strange thing — I feel like an outsider everywhere I go! [Laughs]. I look at everything with a sort of detachment that I think is very good for writers. I was interviewed recently by a magazine in Bloomington called Bloom ... and they asked me what I thought was good about working in Indiana. And I said, ‘I can be left alone and do my work in peace and quiet.’ I think the answer you’re supposed to give is people are so supportive and I have writer friends I can talk to. But I said, ‘That may be the case; I’m just not interested.’ I think a writer should be as alone as possible; that’s how you get the writing done. Writing is not a team sport; it’s a very lonely and individual activity. In order to have the best thing possible for a writer — a distinctive voice — you need to be left alone because that distinctive voice comes

from being alone enough to understand what it is you sound like when your style is in play. If I want to write about Western Massachusetts in the 1850s when Melville was there writing Moby Dick — I’ve been to Western Massachusetts a lot and I know the area well, but it’s still more of an imaginative construct in my head. And I know Indiana well now, but I think I could write about it as though I’ve never lived here, and in order to do that, I think you have to pretend. For example, if you were writing about Indianapolis, you’d have to pretend that Indianapolis is as much a work of the imagination as it is a real place you could wander around in. Here’s the advantage of that: Once you make a place more a piece of your imagination than anything else, you can command it. It’s yours, and when you feel something is yours, you can move it around, embellish it a bit. But when you feel that world is someone else’s, it’s hard to write about it. NUVO: Why should the average person read biography? And what do you look for when you read one? SHELDEN: Whether you’re the head of a government, business or household, you’ve got to recover from setbacks, to make up your mind to take a large risk and see it through, to have dedication, determination. When you read a great biography, you get a great sense of how people use their characters to see them through the challenges that all of us face in life. I find that endlessly interesting. To me, biography is the greatest form of history. n

Henry Woronicz (left) and Zach Kenney in Red.

Indiana Repertory Theatre: Red q Oct. 14-Nov. 9. Red by John Logan is about two painters in the late 1950s. One, the famous, financially successful Mark Rothko (Henry Woronicz), is working on a big commission. The other is a young man (Zach Kenney), never named on stage that I remember, who comes to assist him in his studio. The younger man (“Ken” in the program) expects to be mentored as well as paid. The older man expects to be worshipped as well as assisted with his brush washing and canvas stretching. Although they refer to dozens of other painters, writers, and musicians, neither man seems to have heard of any female artists of any kind. Both are comfortably clueless about the limits of their worldview and experiences. I am glad I don’t have to live with either of them. However, I leaped to applaud at the end of the show because I loved the rich food for thought explicit in their conversations about art and implied in their relationship. Where is the line between protecting and controlling? Is respecting what came before and then smashing it truly the only effective model for an artist? How much should one’s personal life inform one’s art? Which is most essential: art, artist or audience? If making art is like pinning butterflies, why do it? And what, if anything, has changed in 50 years? I also delighted in the show’s subtle homages to other art forms besides painting. One conversation in which the two men list things that are red is performed almost like a poetry slam. A priming of a huge blank canvas is accomplished almost like a dance. Lovely music plays on a turntable in one corner of Ann Sheffield’s exquisitely detailed set and becomes another element in the two men’s power struggle when Ken wants to introduce Chet Baker’s jazz into their daily listening mix. (Sound design by Todd Mack Reischman.) Best of all, the two actors’ layered portrayals of these imperfect, passionate men, under James Still’s sensitive direction, moved me to remember why I, too, value art so much, especially my favorite art form: live theatre. The show left me curious about Rothko’s work. But even more, it made me want to revisit some of my own favorite paintings in person. I’d also like to see up close the paintings that our own Kyle Ragsdale made to go with the IRT’s 2014-2015 season. — HOPE BAUGH Indiana Repertory Theatre, $25-$59, irtlive.com

AND THE DANCE GOES ON O

BY RI TA K O H N RKOHN@NUVO.NET

ver the past 17 years, Dance Kaleidoscope’s Liberty “Libby” Harris has danced in 75 productions and 90 different pieces. And we can add one more production to that total before she transitions from senior dancer to her new role as rehearsal director and education coordinator for the company. She’ll make the move after Dance Kaleidoscope’s season opener, Carmina Burana, on Oct. 23-26 at Indiana Repertory Theatre. It’s a way of closing the circle, says Harris: “I started with Carmina Burana — and now after dancing in it six times, I can goodbye to the roles I have loved in every section of this piece, from beginning to end.” She first performed Carmina Burana in 1997, when she was a Butler student appearing as a guest dancer. In 1999, after two years with Charleston Ballet Theater of South Carolina, Harris returned to Indianapolis as the thenyoungest DK company member. “I was the baby, being looked after and brought into the system of learning and moving up in the ranks,” she says. Carmina Burana, choreographed by DK artistic director David Hochoy to music by Carl Orff, has been a staple of DK’s repertoire since its premiere in the 1994-95 season. Pivotal to the piece, based on a collection of poems and dramatic texts written during the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries, is the

concept of Fortune as Empress of the World, balancing joy with sadness, life with death, an ever-turning wheel. This seems to sum up Harris’ point of view, as she talks about what her career at DK has meant to her. “When I thought about retiring, I was overwhelmed by how fortunate I have been,” she says. “You wake up every day and you want to make a better world. I can be happy because being part of DK has allowed me to be the best person I can be every day. Something I realized is that it’s a two-way street. It’s the people out there — the audience members who are willing to watch us do what we love doing everyday because for dancers it’s not just on stage. It’s the studio work that’s exhilarating; the daily grind is where the magic starts and then you take that to the theatre to share.” “Libby has been indispensable to me for the past 14 seasons,” sums up Hochoy,

who has been Dance Kaleidoscope’s artistic director since 1991. “Her outstanding grace, coordination, attack, elegance, commitment and musicality have all contributed to make many a DK performance truly unforgettable.” Harris hopes to continue helping Hochoy to realize his visions for the company. “I’ll keep coming to class, and I hope to dance but not to the extent that I have, but I look forward to my new role,” says Harris. “It’s in my nature; it comes easy to me to take someone under my wing. I take pride in passing on DK’s method. Every day is a passion for David’s passion.” The company is “lucky to have retained Libby as rehearsal assistant because her presence in the studio is so valuable,” says dancer Muriel Greenlee. She continues: “Libby absorbs movement faster than anyone I have ever danced with in my entire dancing career, in any location. Her kind, nurturing nature in everyday life permeates the group dances and makes her a natural leader and mentor for company members, as well as an incredible and sophisticated artist in her own right.” Dancer Caitlin Negron shares Greenlee’s sentiments: “As a dancer her focus, ease on stage and flawless execution of any choreography has always inspired me. The wonderful thing about Libby, though, is that she also has a special ability to guide and teach with dazzling clarity.” n

SPOOKY THEME PARKS

Hanna Haunted Acres r Oct. 22-26, Oct. 29-Nov. 1; Hours: Friday and Saturday dark-midnight, Sunday-Thursday dark-10 p.m. Hanna Haunted Acres offers thrillseekers a wide variety of haunts, but comes up short in execution and intensity. The addition of two new haunts, Hooded and Outbreak, as well as mainstays Saw and the Haunted Hayride kept things original; unfortunately the scare factor just wasn’t there. The concept behind Hooded was unique and I must admit, frightening. Like the name hints, participants are forced to wear a cloth hood over their heads, making it all but impossible to see anything. Then one embarks on a self-guided rope tour through what organizers say is “Hell”. I expected actors to be screaming and jumping out at me but instead experienced less than enthusiastic and short bursts of “scary” sayings and slight touches on my arms and chest. The lackadaisical acting really soured a great idea here. The Haunted Hayride can best be described as a ride along a path ridden with sci-fi creatures and other fantasy characters. The creatures are terrifying, yes, but offer little to no scare factor. And the actors don’t intensify the ride a single ounce. I enjoyed the hayride — especially the end, which I won’t spoil — but it’s more of a sci-fi museum tour than a haunted hayride. Outbreak was by far my favorite haunt of the bunch and really struck a chord as a scary and lifelike haunt — the virus must’ve rubbed off on me. The design was on point, straight out of a Walking Dead episode or I Am Legend scene. Dead people, dismembered body parts and zombies are the name of the game. Actors dressed like zombies worked together and timed scares perfectly. Scares came from all directions and weren’t predictable by any stretch of the imagination. No complaints at all here, a mere perfect haunt. If you love the Saw movies, the Saw haunt is definitely your go-to option, and if you don’t, it’s still an exciting

It’s exactly as advertised. Scarecrow’s Revenge, the five-acre corn maze was closed due to large amounts of rain on previous nights. — BRIAN WEISS 7322 E. Hanna Ave., $27-40, 357-0881, hannahauntedacres.com Reaper’s Realm q Oct. 23-26, Oct. 30-Nov. 1; Hours: Friday and Saturday 7-11 p.m., Sunday-Thursday 7-10 p.m. These folks have been doing this for twentyfive years. This is made quite evident when touring this expansive haunt. Firstly, it should be known that there are two smaller attractions attached to the main haunted house, Reaper’s Haunted Mansion: they are Reaper’s Dark Zone and Reaper’s Woods. Should you be interested in a very low-impact experience, go to these. The Dark Zone is unremarkable and the Woods are innocuous. Let the kids go through these when they’re done with the carnival on the property — that’s right, there’s a small-scale carnival on the premises. Now, on to the main attraction: the Haunted Mansion. Everything middling I just described about the Dark Zone and Woods can be thrown out the window into a waiting wood chipper when compared to this attraction. Boy howdy was this ever a rollicking good time. First of all, this haunt is huge — three stories of huge. The layout was excellent, complete with delightful little oubliettes and traps (the only unpleasant one was a brief dark passage which only seemed to frustrate the patrons stuck in it). All the sets were well made and felt holistic. The rooms featured individual and very appropriate sound tracks, not just heavy metal piped in every room — this is something not always noticed, but it makes the experience so much more engrossing. The grunge factor was also well done, which combined with some scent generators, made the whole

place smell like death. At one point, a disgusting, old mattress frame was used to brilliant effect in a ward where I could practically feel the tetanus on the walls. I’m afraid one of the vortexes was out of order the night I toured — they are terribly fickle beasts — but the one which was working was very, very effective. In spite of the occasional scare actor without much, if anything, in terms of costume/make-up pulling the old “I’m-going-to-stand-beside-you-and-look-at-you” gimmick, over-all, the actors were incredibly energetic and entertaining. The highlight of the scare actors, though, were a couple of what I imagine to be quite beautiful women in real life; in the mansion, however, they look like they’ve been put through a combination Cuisinart/Ronco Rotisserie. I met them in a child’s bedroom (and we all know one of the cardinal rules of horror is that kids are scary) where they proceeded to stalk me through the rest of the attraction. The shorter of the two would pull an old trick I’ve always been fond of, in which you use the hidden parts of the haunt to disappear for a moment, and then reappear right in front of the patron. The taller played a wonderfully effective character who, half-mad/half-living, would mutter to herself and consistently shadow me, then freeze when I’d turn to look at her, staring blankly into nowhere. She did not move. She did not blink. Not once. This was an actor wearing costume contact lenses and Hannibal Lecter blinked more frequently than she did. This place is a ton of fun and worth the drive. — TRISTAN ROSS 626 177 St. (Hammond), $25-40, reapersrealm.com Trails of Terror t Oct. 23-25, Oct. 30-Nov. 1; Hours: Thursday 8-11 p.m., Friday and Saturday 8 p.m.-midnight. This is a small haunt; however, if you’re around the Northeast side of town, this is really not an inconvenient location for a quick adventure at a pretty darned reasonable price. I was lucky to arrive when business was slow, so I got to walk through the trail alone and I was vulnerable. This was a very startle-centric haunt, which I know is some folk’s cup of tea — I, though, was quite pleased at the end when I entered the Saw themed room. This was an encompassing little abattoir with terrific lighting, or lack thereof — not that I was plunged into darkness, but instead the area was lit by occasional flickers leaving me just enough time to wonder how the hell I was going to find my way out. This room creates a real novelty; the point is to find you’re way out of the locked doors, so get your Link on and find them keys. After many years in haunted houses, I encountered a scare actor wearing one of those crap-your-pants-terrifying masks worn by Michael Palin in Brazil. — TRISTAN ROSS 2742 E. 1110 S.

FILM

OPENING St. Vincent e Bill Murray is at his best in this very entertaining story as a grumpy old cuss who reluctantly becomes babysitter for the 11-year-old son (Jaeden Lieberher) of his new neighbor (Melissa McCarthy). The film skirts this close to sappiness, but Murray is so funny and interesting that you don’t mind. Thankfully, the interactions between Murray and the kid feel like the real thing. McCarthy plays it mostly straight in one of her best performances yet. Chris O’Dowd is delightful as a down-to-earth priest. Naomi Watts and Terrence Howard co-star. Look for a featurelength review in next week’s NUVO. Opens Thursday in wide release Dear White People Writer/director Justin Simien’s very well-reviewed comedy about a group of African-American college students negotiating a predominantly white college won him a 2014 Sundance Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent. “Not since Spike Lee’s early work has there been a movie so full of provocative ideas — and a sly sense of humor,” says Leonard Maltin. Opens Friday at Landmark Glendale John Wick Keanu Reeves stars as a contract killer in a “clean, efficient and incredibly assured thriller” (Variety) directed by his stunt double in The Matrix films.

B Y ED J O H N S O N - O TT EJO H N S O N O T T @ N U V O . N E T

ts full title is Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). Movie reviewers were informed that we should refer to the film by its full title initially; after that it would be permissible to just call it Birdman. Director (and co-writer) Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel, Biutiful) opts to present the movie in what looks like one uninterrupted nearly two-hourlong shot. I found it irritating, showy and limiting when I first saw Hitchcock’s 1948 film Rope and I feel the same way now. I also think that Birdman’s jazzy drum score is annoying as hell. This puts me in a tiny minority. Most movie reviewers are raving about Birdman and going gaga over the faux feature-length uninterrupted shot. Some of them even singled out the jazzy drum score for praise. Go figure. I liked Michael Keaton a lot, along with Edward Norton, Zach Galifianakis, Emma Stone and a few of the other actors. The film has some swell visuals and a number of the jokes are good, but too much of Birdman is like a kid at a pool screaming “Look at me! Look at me!” and then doing a belly flop off the diving board. The story is soooooo meta. The wonderful Keaton, who was, of course, Batman in Tim Burton’s smash hit movies, plays Riggan Thomson, an actor famed for playing a super-hero called Birdman in a hit movie franchise. Now Thomson is trying to revitalize his career by using the last of his money to stage a Broadway adaptation (written by him) of Raymond Carver’s

short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” As the play goes into previews, Norton, who is apparently known in “real life” as a difficult-to-workwith Method actor, joins the cast as a difficult-to-work-with Method actor. Later, Naomi Watts, who had a famous makeout scene with a woman in Mulholland Drive, smooches a woman. My favorite parts of the movie are the sights and sounds in Thomson’s head. The opening shows Thomson meditating in the lotus position while hovering a couple of feet above the ground. We see him express anger using telekinesis. And he flies! We hear Birdman say rude, crude things to Thomson like, “People. They love blood, they love action. Not this talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit.” and “You were a movie star, remember?

The thing about the talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit is that it’s never clear where it’s really aimed. Is Birdman an indictment of Hollywood for playing to the crowds? Because an indictment of lowest common denominator film-making seems odd coming in a movie stuffed with camera gimmicks, eye candy, dirty jokes and stunt casting. Unless that’s the biggest meta-joke about Birdman. Could the whole movie simply be Alejandro Inarritu ponderously swallowing his own tale? Hey, did you see how I spelled tale?

HEARTLAND FILM FEST Winners announced As usual, Heartland Film Festival, now in its 23rd year, held its awards ceremony during opening weekend, giving you, the home viewer, plenty of time to see the jury’s favorites. Winners were announced Oct. 18 at the Old National Centre, and Heartland continues daily screenings through Oct. 25. Here’s the rundown: $45,000 Grand Prize for Best Narrative Feature Siddharth, directed by Richie Mehta (India, Canada) $45,000 Grand Prize for Best Documentary Feature Happiness, directed by Thomas Balmès (France, Finland) $5,000 Grand Prize for Best Narrative Short Record, directed by David Lyons (Australia) $5,000 Grand Prize for Best Documentary Short Showfolk, directed by Ned McNeilage (USA)

CONTINUING All reviews by Ed Johnson-Ott except when noted. The Best of Me o The Best of Me is based on a bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Dear John) and that’s probably all I should say. If you like Sparks’ romances, you’re certainly not going to listen when I tell you that this is a gooey mess that follows the same path as his other stuff. This time it’s about Amanda (Michelle Monaghan) and Dawson (James Marsden), former high school sweethearts that reunite after 20 years for the funeral of a friend and must face the problems that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Dracula Untold u Untold my ass! The title makes it sound like a return to the original book. But no, this is just another Underworld-style exercise in “who cares?” Facts about the life of the “historical” Dracula are mixed with elements of Bram Stoker’s book. Who would have thought Dracula (okay, Vlad) was just a daddy that became a vampire in order to save his son and other boys from a warmonger? Damn the locals for not appreciating his sacrifice! The battle scenes suffer from obscured views and excessive computer animation. The whole project suffers from the fact that vampires have been done to death. No need for wooden stakes. They died of boredom. PG-13, in wide release

Fury r An intense, well-acted World War II movie starring Brad Pitt. Writer-director David Ayer wanted to document the extremes endured and inflicted by Allied soldiers that entered Germany in the spring of 1945. So he introduces us to the crew of a tank called Fury. The production follows the crew for 24 hours, from dawn to dawn, in a battle-filled trek. Despite fine performances by the cast, we still end up with a group of types: the father figure, the Godly soul, the sweet redneck, the capable drunk and the innocent. It’s a good movie, but if David Ayers thinks he has made a film containing daring revelations about the soldiers that fought in WWII, he is sorely mistaken. R, in wide release Gone Girl e David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel is smart and, from what I’m told, faithful to its source. The thriller deals with what happens when, on their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) has gone missing. Nick receives support and sympathy at the beginning of the investigation, but as time goes by the perception of him begins to change. The thriller held me throughout its nearly two and a half hour running time. A shift in the point of view in the middle of the film forces you to reconsider everything. Some may find it too outlandish, but it never fails to remain interesting. R, in wide release

The Judge t It’s fun to watch Robert Duvall and Robert Downey, Jr. in this melodrama, playing a father and son (estranged, of course). Downey has that smartas-a-whip, rapid-fire delivery style where he darts between sarcasm and sincerity so quickly that he makes you dizzy. Duvall is the master of intimidating characters. And filmmaker David Dobkin pulls out all the stops to show he is more than the guy who made Fred Claus. The result is entertaining and sometimes moving. It is also hooey, mixing undercooked storyline lines with groan-inducing clichés. R, in wide release NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 10.22.14 - 10.29.14 // FILM 23

BEER BUZZ

BY RITA KOHN

Thinking Outside the Brewery Building the best possible beer experience was the focus of the Educational Forum at the Beer, Wine & Spirits Trade Show, Oct. 16 at Indiana Convention Center. Ivy Tech Master Chef Thom England and Brewmaster and Director of Brewmaster Outreach at Anheuser-Busch George Reisch each addressed the values of expanding staff knowledge at on premise and take home locations to provide a variety of experiences for patrons to help them grow their palates for pairing food and beer. Both England, who coordinates the Ivy Tech Culinary Arts and Hospitality Administration Programs and Reisch, a fifth generation family brewer with roots in Springfield, Ill., say food and beer naturally go together whether it’s fine or casual dining in a brewpub or restaurant, or at home with good beer purchased from a store. They addressed issues of expanding the way people in food and retail industries view beer as a food partner and enhancement. Always stressing responsible use, each showed how and why beer and food add to quality lifestyles. To that end Reisch is adamant about drinking beer only from suitable glassware. “Never drink beer from a can or a bottle.” Why? You lose most of the pleasures a beer offers — appearance, aroma and complexity. FUNd Raising A good cause is part of the culture of craft beer. On behalf of Movember, two events: • Nov. 1: NUVO Indiana Beer Bracket Final Four Showdown; 2-5 p.m. at Chulmey’s. Go to NUVO.net to vote for your favorite brewery. • Nov. 1: Beards & Brews Championship on Noblesville’s Square; Noon to 4 p.m. Five local breweries are hosting a preliminary beard contest at their place with category winners progressing to the Championship.

e crowded into the ballroom-size kitchen in Cerulean, shuffling closer together until a few elbows were touching, to watch four of Indy’s most talented chefs do the one thing the dining community has always wanted to see: try to out-cook each other. Any other day, most of us would gladly pay forty bucks for the privilege of watching the Cerulean team cook and plate alone. Instead, we were treated to a head-to-head challenge between some of the best chefs at the most buzzed-about restaurants in town. The only thing missing was a Hoosier iteration of an overdressed, over-coiffed guy biting into a pepper (I’ll take suggestions on this personality in the online comments). Four of Indy’s heaviest-hitting talents, Milktooth’s Jonathan Brooks, Rook’s Carlos Salazar, Plow & Anchor’s John Adams and Cerulean’s Alan Sternberg, gathered in Cerulean’s kitchen for the simple joy of deciding who, at least for that night, is the best. The rest of the invitations went out to mostly food industry insiders, so the crowd watching

Local chefs compete for bourbon, bragging rights and Second Helpings

“[Brooks] showed that he has a broad repertoire, and produced two very convincing dishes from disparate culinary traditions ...” — NEIL CHARLES the action happen was limited compared to other demos and pop-ups. Probably because Chef Throwdown is neither. That was the other thing that set this apart from others: there was no food served for the guests. Well, technically, there were plates of raw oysters and platters of steamed lotus bun sandwiches, but the dishes being cooked were only supposed to be consumed by the judges. Two dishes per chef, and three palates to please. That’s it, that’s all. So how much fun was a dining event with, essentially, no food? A lot of fun. Maybe the most fun I’ve yet had as a newly-minted member of the local food ecosystem between chefs and media. Because this time, the burden of opinion and judgement was not mine to bear,

and the chefs were cooking for the judges and each other. Instead, Grant Michael, the organizer of the event (and, by day, Sysco sales representative) wanted it to be a purely chefcentric occasion where the food would only be tasted and judged by established authorities who the chefs hand-picked to judge the contest. The hardest part, according to Michael, was “finding three people that [the chefs] respected enough to judge the contest.” So the three judges ended up being a trio Indy’s culinary tastemakers: Neal Brown, the James Beard semifinalist behind Pizzology and The Libertine; Layton Roberts, chef for the Cunningham group (Union 50, Mesh, Bru among others); and Neil Charles, once NUVO’s food writer and now both a food writer for Sophisticated Living and proprietor of Knapsack Wines. If you aren’t aware of the general work ethic in kitchens, know the following: all the chefs except Brooks were cooking on their only day off.

Sternberg only wanted to host the thing, but ended up being cajoled into joining the fun. After all, the only other time these chefs get to “compete” is in business, and each of them cooks wildy different foods with different service models. And the prize? A very nice bottle of bourbon and bragging rights. But the only folks who got paid were the fine people of Second Helpings, who had one of their recent chef school graduates in attendance. And because we would all feel guilty having that much fun without giving back in some way, each of the chefs auctioned a gift card to their restaurant to bolster the fundraising potential of the event. But let’s not get it twisted. We were there to watch some major kitchen talent show off, and they certainly did. The necessary “twist” was a mystery basket of two ingredients that had to be incorporated into the two dishes each chef served. So, if you’re keeping score at home, the rules are as follows: one hour, two dishes (to be served at any point during the hour), three

judges, four chefs and two mystery ingredients. They turned out to be duck and rabbit, and each chef worked them into their dishes in a unique, signature way. Salazar brought all of his Asian food experience to the table, making a Korean lettuce wrap and rare duck gizzards with roasted carrots and a nahm prik sauce — a pureed combination of a variety of grilled peppers and onions, finished with fish sauce. Salazar also prepared a tamarind broth made with the rabbit carcases, Swiss chard, shitake conserva finished with vinegar. John Adams made duck breast with braised leeks, roasted sunchokes, Swiss

chard, and a sage mustard jus for one dish. For the second, seared rabbit hearts with turnips, carrots, and a madeira sauce. Said Adams about the competition, “I wasn’t feeling especially creative as it was my only day off this week, and so I just tried to make solid dishes that were well prepared and tasty.” Sternberg, with the home court advantage, made rice crusted rabbit leg with a tamari pistachio puree, frisee and pea shoot salad, as well as sou vide duck breast, carrot puree, butter basted carrots, muscovado bruleed figs, blood orange gel, orange bitters, and sorrel. But it was Milktooth’s Jonathan Brooks, after a long shift at his home restaurant, who took home the prize. Brooks put together a spicy duck breast and shiitake mushroom salad with a pomegranate fig vinaigrette and black lime; then blanquette of rabbit with some red curry pickled fennel. This, after working a full day that started before 7 am. Judge Neil Charles summed up Brooks’ win thusly: “Both of Brooks’ dishes were complete and particularly well executed, not even considering the time pressure. He showed that he has a broad repertoire, and produced two very convincing dishes from disparate culinary traditions. The

blanquette was especially impressive, and quite audacious under the circumstances. I would have been happy to pay for both dishes without any question.” When I asked Brooks how he stays on the grind while maintaining his legendary kitchen zen, he said in so many words that the kitchen is his briar patch and he’s the rabbit: “It’s the only thing I’ve ever known. It’s the only job I’ve ever had. It’s my comfort place.” Before anyone’s knives had even been re-honed or put away, the word “rematch” was already being thrown around rather loosely. And not one of the chefs present backed down from the idea of taking on the same people again. Whether or not the event grows or goes public is largely dependent on what spaces will be available for the next one. The most likely candidate is Milktooth, which may provide a little more space for the general public. But then again, only time will tell how the public will react to a cooking competition where only the judges get to eat the food. That said, if the only other faces I see at these things are familiar ones, I’d be fine with that. Just know, reading public, that your favorite chefs are certainly not resting on their laurels or their restaurant’s rep. n

NUVO’S GREAT INDIANA BEER BRACKET Y

ou’ve probably heard us talk about it before, but our Great Indiana Beer Bracket is clearly rocking your pants off this fall. Or maybe that’s just all the beer. Either way, we are narrowing it down to a few final contenders for our ultimate Final Four brews. We’re getting close. We’re now down to EIGHT. After the last round of voting, these are the contenders moving on to compete for spots in the FINAL FOUR. On Saturday, Nov. 1, pile in with your friends at NUVO as we head to Chumley’s to settle this battle once and for all. It’s going to get heated, with each of the four remaining breweries bringing three styles of beer to go head-to-head. One will be a mild, one hoppy and one malty or dark brew. The taste test will be blind, and a winner will be crowned in each category. We’ll also

with the purchase of any meal

crown a grand champion, offer him a chalice of his enemies’ blood, and fall into warlike chants of praise. Or maybe we’ll skip he chalice of blood and just go for really wicked high-fives, brah.

LITTLE CHATS SHANNON HAYDEN AT THE WAREHOUSE

Between tours with Lily and Madeleine, cellist Shannon Hayden is home recording her new album at her family’s farm. Not in a barn, no. She brings her 1890s cello (once owned by a player in the ISO) to the solar powered studio built into the property, which has been in the family since the 1860s. “When I’m home,” she says when we catch up this week, “I have a floor-to-ceiling PA system, LED projectors, effects and amps going. I am a power hog.” The blend of old and new is a through line in Hayden’s music; her performances mesh classical training with modern experimental music, and put it all through a full pedal board of effects. We have a longer chat with Hayden on NUVO.net. On her style: “I’ve wanted to be a cellist since I was 3. What got me into cello was seeing it being used with Bjork, that was a major influence for me. Hearing cello in ‘Eleanor Rigby’ by the Beatles. Nothing turns me on more than great contemporary classical music. There’s some awesome sacred minimalist composers that I’m totally into. Mix that right in with Japanese punk band Melt — Banana, Radiohead. My tastes are all over the place.” On her one-woman style of music performance and production: “I’ve always wanted to be able to do everything myself. Whether I continue to do that throughout my career, that’s another story. But I absolutely want a strong hold on every aspect of music production, writing, recording, business – every bit of it, I want to have a grip on. This will be my career for the rest of my life. I’m not the most patient person, but I do value taking a little bit of a slower, steady road. If that involves me doing everything myself for quite a while, then I’m very happy with that.” On her sustainable studio: “My dad knew I was dead set on being an artist. He knew it was going to be tough, so he said, ‘Okay, let’s work on building a sustainable lifestyle for you.’ He wanted me to know all about how to construct the house, with wood that was right on the property, how to make your own energy, researching how to use solar and wind energy. He’s an amazing gardener, so he taught me about growing your own food. … A lot of musicians can’t take advantage of awesome opportunities because they can’t take the risk, and they can’t quit their day jobs. For me, I absolutely have been given this gift of, ‘Go for it; do exactly what you want.’ And I don’t have to compromise, because I always have a fallback. — KATHERINE COPLEN

on’t let us stop you from eating your popsicle,” Madeleine Jurkiewicz says to me kindly. We’re parked on a bench in Broad Ripple and I’m covered in the remnants of a chocolate and hot pepper popsicle from Nicey Treat. The sisters Jurkiewicz, Madeleine and her sib Lily, who make music together as Lily and Madeleine, are decidedly not covered in melting chocolate and crumpled napkins – no, they’ve got it all together, here on this park bench and in about every other arena, too. Two years, two albums, one EP and several European tour dates after first debuting as a pair, the young sisters are handling their sudden, explosive popularity with aplomb and grace. There’s no real playbook for this type of quickfire success; it certainly doesn’t trace the path 99 percent of local bands follow. “Our first show was local, and we do a lot of local press, but we really only have three shows in Indianapolis a year, max,” Lily says. “We’re grateful to be able to go other places, but maybe we’re missing out [on being a part of the local scene],” Madeleine adds. There was never really a chance for that. The duo sold out that first local concert they ever played, an early show at the DO317 Lounge last February. I’ve never,

before or since, seen an audience so pindrop silent, on the edge of their seats in excitement. It was just a few short weeks after a one of their videos, linked on Reddit, went wild online. Their debut EP, a fivetrack effort called The Weight Of The Globe, was bumped up to capitalize on the virality, and the concert, packed to brims, went off without a hitch. After that, the successes came fast. Their songs were placed on TV shows like Pretty Little Liars, Chasing Life, Parenthood and, most bizarrely to them, a commercial for Ikea that only airs in Greece and Bulgaria. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra approached them to participate in a Happy Hours show. Asthmatic Kitty inked a deal to release their first full-length, and then their second. They recorded a new version of “Broad Ripple Is Burning” with Margot and The Nuclear So and So’s, and added vocals to label mate Son Lux’s new album

Lanterns. The pair completed that first European tour and booked another. Madeleine put her freshman year at IU on hold. Lily moved from enrollment at North Central to online classes. So now what?

RUNNING New album Fumes, out next Tuesday on Asthmatic Kitty, comes just a year after their first full-length. It follows much of the same formula as the first: it was recorded at Primary Sound Studios in Bloomington, with Paul Mahern, who has been in their corner from the beginning. Songwriting partner Kenny Childers once again assisted (and contributed a track, along with Heidi Gluck). They still sing in tandem, close and gorgeous “blood harmonies,” as they call it. There are beaucoup beautiful moments to highlight: the shimmering strings introing “Rabbit” and outroing “Fumes”; delicate dual guitars adding urgency to“Hold On To Now” in the final chorus; layered vocal appregios on “Can’t Admit It.” On Fumes, “Writing was collaborative for the most part,” Lily says. “Some songs are Madeleine’s songs because she started them[and vice versa], but it’s collaborative.” Their writing partner, Childers (Gentleman Caller), has made a particular impact. “He’s been our mentor, our trainer,”

Madeleine says. “I think he writes a song every day, pretty much. He also accompanies them live occasionally. They’ve been touring since April with Shannon Hayden, a classically trained cellist who brings mandolin and guitar along, too. (See sidebar.) Madeleine and Lily note they’ve have reworked songs from their self-titled album, including “Spirited Away” and “Come To Me,” to integrate Hayden on their live sets. This new album seems to integrate her fully. Fumes is full of running, in various permutations – not being the kind of girl to run (“Peppermint Candy”), running as if life depends on it, (“Rabbit”), running on fumes (“Fumes”), making a run for it, (“Cabin Fever”), blood running down something (“Blue Blades”), outrunning, or not, a threat (“The Wolf Is Free”). It’s an album of transition and movement, lyrically, an album that marks a year of change for the sisters.

SCHOOL High school has never been exactly normal for Lily. “As soon as I went to North Central from 8th grade, we made our first video. It started as soon as I went to high school. … I didn’t really have time to make connections,” Lily says. “It can be lonely,” Madeleine finishes. She’s thinking about college in a year or so; somewhere out of state, maybe. She has to wrap up high school first, though, currently a heavy burden. “I think I bit off a lot more than I can chew recently, so that’s stressful,” she says, of her online classes. But management has been quick to remind them they can change the flow whenever they want. “If we’re going to take a break and go do school,” Madeleine says to her sister, “I want you to go wherever you want to go and not have to worry about being together [to do music].” I gather quickly it’s been tough for both of them to deviate so quickly and entirely from the typical teenage experience. “I didn’t get, and I don’t think I’ll ever get, a real college experience,” Madeleine says, when I ask her what she’s had to give up to pursue music. “By the time I go back, I think I’ll just be past that. … I feel like whenever I visit my friends or my boyfriend [an adorable Purdue engineering major she’s been dating since high school, she tells me] they’re doing their thing, going to the dining courts. On one hand, that stresses me out, because I don’t want to eat at a dining court every day. But I feel like I need that experience. But who says?” Madeleine turned 20 a few days after our conversation. Lily is 17. “I went to prom last April, my junior prom,” Lily says. “I didn’t have a date, I just

showed up with my friend. It was the day we got home from a tour, so we woke up at 5 a.m. to drive home. I went to prom and everybody was like, ‘What are you doing here? You’re famous.’ I was like, just let me go to prom! Why do you have to do that to me? Sometimes it’s funny. We’re not even famous, so it’s just silly.’ “ (I admit I took this moment to remind them: they’re kind of famous.) “I don’t really see it,” Madeleine says. “But I think it’s because I compare myself to other artists that are lightyears away from us.” (And I took this moment to remind them: it’s unfair to measure yourself on the Beyonce scale.) Change has forced growth.“She’s become so much more confident,” Lily says of her sister. “Madeleine just has it going on.” “I’m trying!” Madeleine responds. “That is my goal. … I try to keep myself healthy, otherwise there’s no way I could go on a long tour without falling apart. This has challenged me to really take care of myself and trust that I can do this. I’m feeling like a stronger person, because of the challenges that we’ve had.”

We opened for Los Lobos in Dallas “[and] there was a sound guy who was so rude,” Lily says. “Lily had some feedback on her guitar,” Madeleine says. “It buzzed, and she said, ‘What’s that?’ and the guy went, ‘It’s called feedback.’ “ “Who cares, it’s a stupid comment,” Lily says. “We’re really lucky to have a management team and a label that never treat us that way. … So when a sound guy is rude, it’s like, oh my goodness, that is so offensive.” As my conversation with the

People love this vibe that we’ve got going on. But at the same time, I don’t want to be judged for it. It’s a doubleedged sword, because I’m pulling the young lady card, saying ‘Don’t say that to me!’ even though, I get to be a cute young lady. It’s difficult.” They’re also a bit weary of some of the twee phrasing that’s often used to describe their music (see: “haunting, bygone era, ethereal”). But they get it. “We’re young, teenage girls singing about innocence and youth. We never cuss. Nothing edgy about us. We’re just very wholesome. That’s another thing I want to get away from, but not in a Miley Cyrus way,” Lily says. It’s a hard – and sometimes humorous – image to shake. “I remember John Mellencamp did an interview on NPR,” Madeleine says, “And he was like, ‘They’re 12-year-old twins,’ ‘ Lily finishes. They both laugh, and laugh. “We’re not the same person,” Lily

reminds me, a bit later. Her sister agrees quickly. “Lily and I are very different people,” Madeleine says, “Which not everybody would understand.”

TOUR Friday’s show at Deluxe launches the new album tour, after a few weeks spent at home. Schedules have them on a jaunt across the Northeast and Midwest, bouncing across the Atlantic for two weeks in Europe in mid-November, and then back again for a handful of dates with Over The Rhine in the Midwest. This is, Lily notes, the first time their mother hasn’t accompanied them on tour, their first “big girl tour,” as Madeleine jokingly refers to it. I can tell they’ll miss her a bit, though.

“Mom sang all the time, Mom and Dad both loved music,” Lily says. They recount an early memory of singing together: “We got our laundry room redone when I was six or something, Madeleine was eight. So we wrote a song called ‘Welcome to My Laundry Room,’ “ (They launch into a few bars at my urging. It sounds, unsurprisingly, beautiful, even for a song about laundry rooms.) As our conversation winds down, I ask the pair what musicians are interesting to them right now, who they’re following. “I think Lorde’s career is really cool. She skyrocketed; she had her first album, is playing huge arenas, and now she’s doing the Mockingjay [third entry in the Hunger Games series] soundtrack.” Lily says. “I think Sufjan Stevens’ career has always been super cool, the way he’s always been interested in music but didn’t really think of it as a career,” Madeleine adds. “I think he was in graphic design, put out the [Come On, Feel the Illinoise] album, and suddenly got a lot of attention. I think it’s really cool the way he’s so respected, and how he can do whatever he wants [creatively].” That artists who accidentally slipped into a starring roles, and then harnessed that popularity for creative freedom and interesting collaborations appeal to the Jurkiewicz sisters is no surprise. It is, after all, what they’re living. n

DJ SHIVA, ON EQUALITY

ith a career stretching nearly two decades, techno producer DJ Shiva – legal: Lisa Smith – is a pillar of the Indianapolis EDM scene. On Saturday Shiva and the 317 Techno crew will host Spanish techno artist Annie Hall at the White Rabbit as part of a Halloweenthemed edition of their Jacked event series. I met with DJ Shiva at an Eastside coffee shop to discuss the event. Over the course of our hour-long conversation, Shiva reminded me why she’s such as an important part of the Indy music scene. In a region known for its conservative politics (and musical tastes) Shiva has constantly rebelled against the status quo. While her music and attitude are tough and uncompromising, just below the surface she possesses a considerable warmth fueled by a genuine concern for the state of music and humanity. Shiva is also one of Indiana’s loudest voices for gender equality in music. That’s

WEDNESDAY JAZZ Yellowjackets 7 p.m. Unsurprisingly, if your group has stuck around since the ‘70s, like the Yellowjackets have, you’ll go through a couple permutations. This quartet, formerly called Robben Ford Group, has put out a plethora of singles and albums, many of which were nominated for and subsequently awarded Grammys. The group emits a distinct sound known as jazz fusion (a mix of funk, R&B and rock) that’s ear-pleasing and relaxed.

MONDAY

The Ready Set, Metro Station 6:30 p.m. Jordan Witzigreuter, a Ft. Wayne native, is the man behind the stage name, The Ready Set. Chances are, you’ve heard his song,”Love like Woe,” especially if you have a teenage daughter or you’re that teenage daughter. Metro Station is back on the music scene after member Trace Cyrus (yes, Miley’s older brother) called it quits on fellow member Mason Musso in 2010. But the duo is back and just released the single, “Love & War.” How does it compare to their breakthrough hit”Shake It”? You decide. Deluxe at Old National Centre, 502 N. New Jersey St., prices vary, all-ages HIP-HOP

LEGENDS Cher 7:30 p.m. Nobody can stop The Queen. After her stop in Indy earlier this year, Cher swings through Fort Wayne on her 49-city D2K Tour in support of her album Closer to the Truth which includes the No. 1 dance charts hit “Woman’s World” . Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Ave. (Fort Wayne), prices vary, all-ages REGGAE Dirty Heads, Rome 8 p.m. The Cali surfer children in the Dirty Heads were direct with the messages on this summer’s album The Sound of Change. Yup, they changed their sound; it’s not not the reggae-rock their legions of fans love, but it’s also not exactly only reggae-rock either. This is partially because of the producers and guest vocalists they brought in (Supa Dups, David Bassett, Buddah Shampoo, Rome Ramirez, Tech N9ne) and the intention of making some of the “raddest, dubbiest reggae” possible (according to an interview with The OC Register). They swung through earlier this year for Alt103’s Fourth of July fest on Georgia St., but if you missed it, they’ll be back in Bloomington this week. The Bluebird, 216 N. Walnut St. (Bloomington), $22 in advance, $25 at door, 21+

Busdriver, clipping., Milo, DJ Kenny Segal 9 p.m. Co-Head of the Hellfyre Club, former cypher phenom at Project Blowed, and current LA indie scene dynamo – those are Busdriver’s credentials. His latest release, Perfect Hair, features guest spots from fellow weirdo rappers Danny Brown and Aesop Rock – but nobody matches Busdriver’s wacky, staccato flow. He’ll be supported by clipping, (experimental rap with noise roots), Milo (also a member of Hellfyre Club) and DJ Kenny Segal (who produced tracks on his record).

e’re back with our resident sex doctor, Dr. Debby Herbenick of Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute. To see even more, go to nuvo.net!

Sex, UTI’s & wives Me and my wife only have sex when I make the move, and even then she had an excuse like I have a UTI or something. Do you think she [is] having an affair? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: “A red bird and a blue bird sit on a fence together. One chirps three notes and the other chirps five. Which one has ebola?” That is what your question sounds like to me: straight-up Christmas crazy. In other words, DUDE, GET A GRIP. Sexual arousal rises and falls like tides, bruh. And if you can’t hang loose, you should talk to her like an adult and not jump to the extreme end of the possibility spectrum. Instead of taking out a crucial support pillar by accusing her of having an affair, maybe you could just ask her why she seems less interested. Maybe she’s tired. Maybe she doesn’t have orgasms very often. Maybe you’re not making all the late-night thrusting and sweating worth her while. Maybe you’re just in a rut. You’ll never know until you ask her. DR. DEBBY: I have no idea if your wife is having an affair. Neither do you. That’s why you’re asking me. There are many reasons why people decline sex and it can be difficult to say no to sex with someone you love and also difficult to accept a no from someone you love and want to be intimate with. If it seems that your wife frequently does not want to have sex with you, it could be helpful to sit down, let her know that you’ve noticed this pattern, and ask if you can talk about it. Try to do this gently and without blaming her or making her feel bad. For example, you might say something like (in your own words) “I’ve noticed that when I initiate sex, you’re often not in the mood or into it, which makes me feel like you’re not into me. Can we talk about that?” If the conversation doesn’t help you get any further, you might suggest meeting with a marriage or relationship counselor (find one at www.aamft.org) or sex therapist (www.sstarnet.org) who can help you to better communicate with one another and find ways and opportunities to be intimate. Although it’s possible your wife has a crush or is in love or sexually 34 VOICES // 10.22.14 - 10.29.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL involved with someone else, it’s also possible that she is tired from her work, exhausted from caring for babies or young children (if you have them), having ongoing genital symptoms (like the UTI she’s mentioned), sad, depressed, feeling like you two are going through a rough spot, or not feeling that positive about her own body, all of which could impact her desire or willingness to have sex. Sexuality is complex and it’s great that you want to find a way to address this issue with her.

Sleepless and Sexless? What if any effect does sleep apnea in men and women have on love making? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: Well, if you stopped breathing and woke up several times a night (or, in some cases, every couple of minutes), your sleep quality would certainly suffer and you wouldn’t be as rested. In general, it’s just hard to get in the mood when you’re that tired; sex, after all, requires some effort. And it’s pretty hard to get hot for even the hottest of partners when your sleep is measured in minutes instead of hours. If you want to test this theory, find the closest new parent (6 months or less) and ask them how sexy they feel on the average day. DR. DEBBY: One of the more common effects is that people with sleep apnea often feel tired or low-energy, which can impact desire. Sometimes sleep apnea is associated with obesity or diabetes, and each of those can contribute to sexual difficulties (including erectile difficulties) as well. If you have concerns about your or your physical health, please check in with a healthcare provider. Lifestyle changes such as better eating and exercise can greatly enhance people’s health and sexual function, though sometimes medications are helpful too and your healthcare provider can best advise you.

Cuddlejumper How can I get my gf to cuddle a little longer after sex? She basically sprints to the bathroom the second I finish. — Anonymous, from Tumblr

THIS WEEK

VOICES

SARAH: Coat your entire cuddle side with honey? Talk to her, dummy! She might be grossed out by the fluid transaction that usually occurs and may want to clean up ASAP. Girl might be trying to keep herself out of UTI territory, which is totally legit. There are many reasons why she might be bolting, but you’ll never know until you ask and then tell her that you want more time to cuddle. But you will have to admit, aloud, that you like to cuddle and would like to do it more. DR. DEBBY: You might ask your girlfriend why she’s in a rush to get to the bathroom. Is she prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) and thus peeing after sex in an effort to reduce the risk? Does having sex or having an orgasm make her feel like she has to pee? Does she feel guilty or ashamed about having sex and thus does she feel the need to shower afterwards? Do you ejaculate inside her and she’s just trying to clear it out into the toilet rather than have semen-laced sheets? These are all possible reasons but you won’t know unless you ask her. Once you have a sense of why she’s rushing to the bathroom, you can try to figure out a way around it. When you have that conversation, also let her know that you want to cuddle and spend time with her. Sometimes women are afraid to say they want to be affection after sex lest they come off as needy. Hearing from you that cuddling and connection are important to you may help her to value these aspects of sex more too.

Between Two Pills Do antibiotics lessen the effectiveness of Plan B like they do for regular birth control pills? SARAH: I’ve heard this a lot—mostly as a 7th-grade-style rumor that pits bacterium against potential fetus. I don’t actually know if it’s true, simply because of the sheer volume of times I’ve heard it. Debby? DR. DEBBY: Not necessarily. There are a lot of rumors about antibiotics and birth control pills but in fact most antibiotics have not been shown to interfere with the effectiveness of birth control. You can learn more about this on Planned Parenthood’s website where they describe how only the antibiotic rifampin has been linked to decreased effectiveness of birth control and how most antibiotics are safe to use with birth control as well as emergency contraception.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The driest place on the planet is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It gets about a half-inch of rain per year. And yet in 2011, archaeologists discovered that it’s also home to a site containing the fossilized skeletons of numerous whales and other ancient sea creatures. I’m detecting a metaphorically comparable anomaly in your vicinity, Aries. A seemingly arid, empty part of your life harbors buried secrets that are available for you to explore. If you follow the clues, you may discover rich pickings that will inspire you to revise your history. Aries

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Businessman Warren Buffet is worth $65.5 billion, but regularly gives away 27 percent of his fortune to charity. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates owns $78 billion, and donates 36 percent. Then there are the members of the Walton family, owners of Walmart, where 100 million Americans shop weekly. The Waltons have $136 billion, of which they contribute .04 percent to good causes. You are not wealthy in the same way these people are, Taurus. Your riches consist of resources like your skills, relationships, emotional intelligence, creative power, and capacity for love. My invitation to you is to be extra generous with those assets -- not as lavish as Buffet or Gates, perhaps, but much more than the Waltons. You are in a phase when giving your gifts is one of the best things you can do to bolster your own health, wealth, and well-being. Taurus

Instead, they fling the dirty laundry out into space. As it falls to Earth, it burns up in the atmosphere. I wish you had an amenity like that right now. In fact, I wish you had a host of amenities like that. If there was ever a time when you should be liberated from having to wash your underwear, make your bed, sweep the floor, and do the dishes, it would be now. Why?

These signals from the Great Beyond may not be clear yet, but if you are sufficiently patient, they will eventually tell you how to take advantage of a big plot twist. But here’s a caveat: Don’t automatically believe every single thing the whisperings tell you. Their counsel may not be 100-percent accurate. Be both receptive and discerning toward them. Leo

By this time next week, if all goes well, you will be ready to take on more ambitious challenges. Scorpio

Aries

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are entering a

phase when you will have more luck than usual as you try to banish parasitic influences, unworthy burdens, and lost causes. Here are some projects you might want to work on: 1. Bid farewell to anyone who brings out the worst in you. 2. Heal the twisted effect an adversary has had on you. 3. Get rid of any object that symbolizes failure or pathology. 4. Declare your independence from a situation that wastes your time or drains your resources. 5. Shed any guilt you feel for taking good care of yourself. 6. Stop a bad habit cold turkey. Sagittarius

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you ready to be as affable as a Sagittarius, as charismatic as a Leo, as empathetic as a Cancerian, and as vigorous an instigator as an Aries? No? You’re not? You’re afraid that would require you to push yourself too far outside your comfort zone? OK, then. Are you willing to be half as affable as a Sagittarius, half as charismatic as a Leo, half as empathetic as a Cancerian, and half as inspiring an instigator as an Aries? Or even a quarter as much? I hope you will at least stretch yourself in these directions, Capricorn, because doing so would allow you to take maximum advantage of the spectacular social opportunities that will be available for you in the next four weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the coming weeks I hope you will find practical ways to express your new-found freedom. All the explorations and experiments you have enjoyed recently were fun and provocative, but now it’s time to use the insights they sparked to upgrade your life back in the daily grind. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I love it when you are dreamy and excitable and farseeing, and would never ask you to tone down those attractive qualities. But I am also rooting for you to bring the high-flying parts of you down to earth so that you can reap the full benefits of the bounty they have stirred up. If you work to become more well-grounded, I predict that you will be situated in a new power spot by December 1. Aquarius

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The heavy metal band known as Hatebeak broadened the definition of what constitutes music. Its lead singer was Waldo, an African grey parrot. A review by Aquarius Records called Waldo’s squawks “completely and stupidly brilliant.” For Hatebeak’s second album, they collaborated with animal rights’ activists in the band Caninus, whose lead vocalists were two pitbull terriers, Basil and Budgie. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I’d love to see you get inspired by these experiments. I think you will generate interesting results as you explore expansive, even unprecedented approaches in your own chosen field. Pisces

world, a sundae is a luxurious dessert that features ice cream topped with sweet treats like syrup, sprinkles, and fruits. In Korea, a sundae is something very different. It consists of a cow’s or pig’s intestines crammed with noodles, barley, and pig’s blood. I expect that in the coming week you will be faced with a decision that has metaphorical similarities to the choice between a sundae and a sundae. Make sure you are quite clear about the true nature of each option. Virgo

on a typical American’s plate is almost 480 percent bigger than what’s recommended as a healthy portion. So says a research paper titled “The Contribution of Expanding Portion Sizes to the U.S. Obesity Epidemic,” by Lisa R. Young and Marion Nestle. Muffins are 333 percent larger than they need to be, the authors say, and steaks are 224 percent excessive. Don’t get caught up in this trend, Libra. Get what you need, but not way, way more than what you need. For that matter, be judicious in your approach to all of life’s necessities. The coming phase is a time when you will thrive by applying the Goldilocks principle: neither too much nor too little, but just right.
