GREENING THE STATEHOUSE ILG PG. 26 The Hoosier Environmental Council honored those helping to save the planet — and mapped out their plans for 2015. By Jim Poyser

As part of NUVO’s runup to our 25th Anniversary Issue, we’re taking a look back over our last 25 years. We began Oct. 1 — 25 weeks away from our birthday in March of 2015. In the October 16, 1997 issue of NUVO, Steve Hammer has a chance to interview cartoon cable star and (at the time) talk–show host Space Ghost, who was shilling for his new album, Space Ghost’s Musical Bar-B-Q. Some highlights: HAMMER: Has your life changed since you started your talk show? SPACE GHOST: Immensely. Now there’s the hob-nobbing. I’m with society’s groovemeisters, as it were. Barbecue at Stipe’s house. Back rubs at Roseanne’s. HAMMER: In the liner notes of the album, you write about late nights at the Whisky A Go-Go with Superman and riding shotgun in a convertible with Spider-Man. SPACE GHOST: ... Ol’ Space Ghost had his share of wild partying. I remember one night Spider-Man had one too many hot toddies and was climbing all over everything. People were really upset. They were trying to eat their prime rib and here’s SpiderMan, squirting his little web stuff everywhere. [Sighs.] I’m a much calmer ghost now. HAMMER: Do you have a feud with Spider-Man? SPACE GHOST: Well, he’s OK, but he’s always, “Look at me! I can climb!” Yeah, well, but can you fly? Can you become invisible? No. Can you shoot rays out of your arm? No. All he’s got is the web. And he’s not even on the computer. I don’t want the kids to misunderstand. — Ed Wenck

WHAT HAPPENED? Student voucher use on the rise The number of students using state-funded vouchers to attend private schools has jumped by more than 47 percent this school year, according to preliminary numbers confirmed by state education officials. In all, 29,146 elementary, middle and high school students — about 3 percent of the overall student population — are now using vouchers. That’s compared to 19,809 last year. Democrats released the numbers Friday, saying they are evidence that the voucher program supported by Republicans is stealing money from public schools. But supporters maintain the voucher program simply gives lower- and middle-income parents a choice in where their children will be educated. The Department of Education won’t release a full report on voucher use until January when officials have gathered more data. —THE STATEHOUSE FILE Metal theft increasing in Marion County A University of Indianapolis study indicates a dramatic increase in metal theft in the city over the last few years. The study was conducted but UIndy’s Community Research Center (CRC). According to the study, catalytic converter thefts now account for 14% of all metal thefts in the city, up from 9% in 2008. Theft of appliances account for 25% of all metal thefts compared to 11% in 2008. The total cost of lost materials and damage exceeds $8 million per year. The study speculates that metal thefts have increased due to increasing demand and higher prices for various metals including copper, aluminum, brass, and bronze. CRC director Kevin Whiteacre says major law enforcement agencies around the country are not tracing metal theft as a specific crime category, so there is limited understanding of the entire scope of the issue and, more importantly, how to fight it. Hadley beats IMM record, raises money for autism At 17 years old, North Carolina resident Alana Hadley accomplished what she set out to do in the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon (IMM). First, she qualified for the 2016 Olympic marathon trials. The high school senior is the second youngest woman to qualify for the trials and the youngest since 1984. Second, Alana became the fastest woman to run the IMM, conquering the course in 2:38:34. Finally, she was able to give a voice and some cash to autism awareness. Alana’s little sister Rose has autism, so she decided to run in her sister’s honor. Alana pledged to donate 25% of any bonus money she received to the Autism Society of Indiana. The IMM organization vowed to match her donation. With a $1000 bonus for Alana’s new course-record, The Autism Society of Indiana is set to receive $500 to use toward autism programming and advocacy in the state. —AMBER STEARNS

Helping Indy Folks Feel Beautiful

B Y D I A N A J . EN S I G N EDITORS@NUVO.NET

riving into downtown Indianapolis on a Wednesday evening at dusk, you’ll find most traffic busily rushing out of the city. The daytime throng of people briskly walking from business buildings to coffee shops in suits, dresses, fancy shoes, and expensive suede or leather jackets has disappeared. What becomes visible slightly before sunset is a crowd of folks congregated around park benches and picnic tables. These are individuals who carry with them their most valuable possessions: a hat, coat, and plastic bag (containing a granola bar and bottled water that a local charitable organization distributed). On this particular evening, the folks who make their homes at shelters, unsheltered in the city’s hidden corners or in transitional housing are clearly excited. Something new has appeared on the downtown city park landscape: Free haircuts offered by Summer Hudson. One by one, people in the park gradually approach the hairdresser. Shy at first, a boy in his teens asks: “What do I do?” Summer glances over her shoulder and replies cheerfully, “Just put your name on the sheet.” She is busy cutting the hair of an older gentleman. “I’ll call you when it’s your turn,” she says to the teen. Quickly, she finishes brushing off the loose hairs as she removes the black cape from the person seated in front of her. “What do you think?” she asks, showing him the freshly trimmed hair in a mirror. He nods silently, appreciatively, while looking at his image. He then straightens his shoulders slightly as he rises and strides off. Summer loudly calls out the next name on the list. Within twenty minutes, the sign-up sheet on the table next to Summer is almost filled.

Hair stylist Summer Hudson sets up shop outside in downtown Indy to be close to her clientele.

Like any local barbershop, those waiting their turn sit or stand nearby, chatting amicably. There’s a young couple on bench who are expecting a baby. The woman who is pregnant listens attentively as she receives counsel from those sitting nearby. The crowd is both young and old. Black and white. Male and female. One man wanders over and says gruffly, “I ain’t never had my hair cut by a woman before.” Summer smiles and says, “Never, wow! Well, what else you got to do right now?” She laughs heartily, setting everyone at ease. The man puts his name on the list and asks, ‘You got a license?” She answers flatly, “Nope. I’m just gonna cut your hair without one.” The people milling around her start laughing. “Of course she’s got a license,” another person quips. “What do you think!” Summer smirks. She asks the man seated how he wants his hair done and then rapidly starts clipping, not unlike a Master Chef who precisely dices car-

rots while casually chatting. On her prior park visit, Summer completed 25 haircuts in two hours. “Yes, I have a professional haircutting license,” she says, returning to the conversation with the gruff man. “But you have to trust me to use it.” He nods, still mumbling that no woman ever cut his hair before. Finishing the current haircut, Summer calls out another name. A man with gentle blue eyes and skin slightly weathered with age walks over and sits down. He starts to explain, “I just need a trim. A little off the top.” She asks if he wants his beard trimmed. He nods yes, and softly notes that he wants it cut close on the sides but fuller in the center.” “Like a goatee?” she asks. He nods yes, his eyes downcast. Although the people receiving haircuts are hesitant at first, they soon S E E , H O M E L E S S N E S S , O N P A G E 08

HOMELESSNESS, FROM PAGE 06 warm up to Summer’s cheerful banter. Before long, she has the group laughing and telling stories. Their eyes change from wary to happy. When they look in the mirror, there is an unmistakable sense of pride along with bright smiles—a reflection of themselves at their best. A nearby teen takes a selfie with his cell phone after his haircut. Another young boy, who appears to be about 14, says he wants his hair cut like his friend, who is in his early 20s. A woman sits down and unties her long ponytail. She remains quiet during her haircut but when she’s done, she shakes her hair, gathers it in a ponytail again, and grins widely. All in all, it’s a festive occasion for those who are gathered. Winter has not yet arrived and the fall breeze is gentle, not harsh and cold. Summer hopes that her haircuts will bring some awareness to the city about homelessness. Although a number of residents in nearby neighborhoods expressed concern that her services would bring homeless people into the park, Summer responds matter-of-factly. “They’re already there. You can’t just pretend like those people are not there.” According to the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention (CHIP) 2014 annual Indianapolis homeless Point-in-Time count, the Indianapolis community counted 1,897 homeless individuals

who were staying in a shelter, transitional housing, or unsheltered. “There was a marked increase in our 2014 numbers compared to the last three years we conducted the count,” said Executive Director Christy Shepard. “I think it’s a highly misunderstood population,” says Summer. “People don’t understand that it’s not neces-

sarily laziness. A lot of people who are homeless are vets. For others, it’s the result of mental health issues.” She pauses and then adds, “Nowadays, so many people are just one paycheck away from being homeless themselves, even if they have jobs.” Summer is especially well suited for her volunteer service work. During the day, she is employed at Community Hospital East, Gallahue Mental Health Services, where she teaches life skills to those with mental disabilities. “I’ve been a hairdresser for ten years,” she says. “I’ve always done both social services and haircutting. She adds, “I like seeing people happy. There’s nothing like having your haircut, even if it’s just a trim.” To support her on-going efforts to provide free haircuts for those who are homeless, Summer has started a GoFundMe site. She hopes to help raise funds for the purchase of supplies such as capes, clippers, a generator, and sanitation items such as lice spray, barbicide and alcohol. She says casually, “Maybe someday, I can find a space indoors, in the downtown area, where I can give free haircuts during the winter.” “I don’t think people should be afraid of those who are homeless,” she concludes. “My mom always taught me that it’s important to help people. If you can help, do it. If you have a skill or trade that can lift somebody up, then why not pay it forward.” She smiles. “I’m making people beautiful.” n

According to the count taken on January 29, 2014: •1 ,897 people were counted as homeless in Marion County. That number marked an increase of 19% from 2013 to 2014. •1 ,219 males and 676 females were homeless. Two of the homeless were transgender. •5 38 homeless individuals were 50-61 years of age. 505 were 35-49 years of age. 354 were under 18. 280 were 25-34. 150 were 18-24. 70 were over the age of 61. • T he number one reason individuals gave for their homeless status was the loss of a job. The number one reason among families was the flight of an abusive situation. •5 67 homeless individuals in Indianapolis had their GED or high school diploma. 250 had some college experience with no degree. 222 never graduated from high school. 60 were college graduates and 8 had post-graduate degrees. •1 ,045 homeless individuals listed African-American as their race. 761 were white. 50 were multiracial and 49 were Hispanic or Latino. •C HIP officials estimate between 7,500 – 9,500 individuals in Marion County experience homelessness at some point in a given year. That estimate is based on national research that suggests annual numbers are three to five times greater than point in time counts and annual data collected from area missions and the Homeless Management Information System.

t was 1977 and Indianapolis’ music scene was desperately in need of a jolt. Nightclubs shied away from original local tunes, primarily booking cover bands instead. Nevertheless, the punk and new wave revolution had still managed to reach a number of restless Indy souls, leading to an uprising of bands being formed in the city. At the movement’s onset, this rebellious bunch of rockers was without a place to call home. But fortunately, this would change within a couple years, thanks to the humble club known as Crazy Al’s. Located at 54th and College – where the Jazz Kitchen is today – original club owner Jeff Bugbee began hosting shows put on by Twilight Tone Productions, a booking agency dedicated to changing the stagnant climate of Indy music. With the eventual sale of Al’s to Steve Cohen and Dave Myers of Twilight Tone in April 1981, the club’s heyday began. “Right away, it started catering to these bands that were forming at the time as a result of the interest in this new wave and punk scene,” recalls Rex Martin, who performed in several bands during the Crazy Al’s period including The Positions, The Obvious and Abstractions. “It was kind of a renaissance locally for rock and roll and that scene because there were a lot of bands performing and a lot of them were doing original work.” The club quickly became the center of the Indianapolis counter-music scene, not only welcoming bold local bands, but national ones as well, including Joan Jett, DNA, The Go-Go’s, The Cramps and many, many more. Cohen remembers, “The people were willing to listen to new music because that’s what they wanted to hear. They didn’t want

to hear one more REO Speedwagon song or any of that crap that was on the radio.” By bringing these notable underground acts to town while also offering local bands the opportunity to perform their own original tunes, the Indianapolis scene gained the creative hub it needed. “Crazy Al’s was really putting their arms around bands and nurturing bands that wanted to be original and wanted to do something different, and they made their venue available to pretty much any band that would come along that was looking for an opportunity to play somewhere,” says Dave Fulton, who played in many bands of the era, including Joint Chiefs of Staff and Last Four (4) Digits. “I can’t think of any other venues in town that extended that invitation as much as Crazy Al’s did.” The creative community had its very own lair in Crazy Al’s. Randy King, who played in Your Parents, Video Kids and The Positions, reflects, “It was our CBGB, or our Cavern Club.” Through Al’s, the punk and new wave occasion in Indianapolis had a venue where musicians could make their counter statement to the insipid radio fluff of the early ‘80s.

“There were people who were somewhat thinking in the same way. There was a vibe. There were these bands. There was an audience that was interested,” explains John Kimsey, who played in the band Art Thieves. “But, the occasion needed a place to happen— it needed a clubhouse or a centerpiece or something. And Crazy Al’s became that.” But despite its influence, the venue’s reign was short-lived, due in large part to difficulty coexisting with the residential area of South Broad Ripple. Cohen explains, “The neighborhood had made it very clear that they were going to fight us. They didn’t like all the weird people there.” And so Crazy Al’s closed on April 1, 1982, leaving an indeliable mark on Indianapolis music history. “The two guys that ran Crazy Al’s were pretty much in the vanguard of recognizing that this was an important musical movement, and they helped catapult Indianapolis into the ‘80s to become part of that punk and new wave scene,” Fulton says. “They did not create the punk and new wave scene in Indianapolis, but they helped nurture it and helped it really get a foothold in this town.” And it’s because of this legacy that one local music fanatic has compiled a collection of songs from 38 bands that played during this era of punk and new wave in Indiana, recently released as a two-CD testament of that pivotal point in the state’s music history.

There are likely few that can contest with Rick Wilkerson’s knowledge of Indiana music. An avid archivist and record collector, the co-owner of Irvington Vinyl currently owns more than 1,000 Indiana LPs and several hundred 45s. With this undying passion for the state’s rich musical past, he started TimeChange Records, a record label dedicated to archiving and preserving Indiana music of all eras and sounds. For his first release on the label, Wilkerson put out a compilation titled Early Indiana Punk and New Wave: The Crazy Al’s Year(s). Spanning more than two hours, the 46-song set focuses on the groundbreaking 1976 -1983 period in Indiana, when numerous bands sprouted up from the woodwork in support of this insurgent rock and roll phenomenon. “I hope [the compilation] is a comprehensive snapshot of the early punk and new wave era in Central Indiana,” Wilkerson says. “We tried our best to cover it as thoroughly as possible. It’s a scene that, in a perfect world, should have been much better documented during its time. Since that didn’t occur, I

hope that it’s considered a worthy time capsule by those who were there, and those who would like to have been.” Fittingly enough, his fascination with local music first started around the Crazy Al’s era, when he joined up with members of Dow Jones and the Industrials and The Last Four (4) Digits to form a small label called Hardly Music. But he didn’t stop there. “This is like my fourth label,” he admits, laughing. “I can never quite get it out of my system.” Through TimeChange, Wilkerson will shed light on under-recognized treasures of the past; some will simply be straight reissues, while others will be first releases of recordings that never saw the light of day. Songs on the Crazy Al’s collection were gathered from a variety of sources, from aging live cassettes to polished studio recordings. The compilation’s liner notes say, “Many bands dug deep into their archives and friends’ souvenir collections to come up with what is preserved herein.” With the technology of the time, Wilkerson points out that local bands of earlier decades oftentimes didn’t have a physical product to offer their fans. “All of these bands that were playing live, most of them recorded in the studio. Those that didn’t record in the studio recorded their sets live at the clubs,” he says. “Yet, hardly any of them released anything. So there’s all this stuff that’s sitting out there that I think holds up and is worth hearing.”

Although archival releases have become more and more widespread over the past few decades, there hasn’t been a record label solely dedicated to preserving Indiana tunes, according to Wilkerson. He affirms, “This is really the only label that I know that’s basically made this their mission.” With this in mind, he hopes to make the most of his deep ties to Indiana music to ensure that these buried gems reach larger audiences. “If in five years, somebody says, ‘Hey. TimeChange Records put out some stuff that really deserved to be heard and preserved,’ then I’ve done my job,” Wilkerson says. “I don’t know how long this run will last. I hope it’ll last a long time. The longer it lasts, the more stuff I can preserve and put out, but it’s really just a mission of preservation and spreading the word.” Those who were heavily active during the Al’s era have been hugely appreciative of Wilkerson and his efforts to preserve the music from that time. King, who played the final chord in the venue on its closing night, says, “There’s this actual physical CD of all this stuff, and for so many of us it’s validation. It’s like, ‘Rick Wilkerson cared enough to preserve that stuff.’ ” He continues, “He’s not going to get rich off of it. Nobody on the thing is going to make money off of it, but at least it exists and at least we’ll get a little bit of respect. People will look at it and they’ll go, ‘This must’ve been a real thing.”

2 1 3 On Oct. 25, the Al’s family was reunited once again at Radio Radio to celebrate the release of Wilkerson’s compilation. Coming from around the country to party in the name of this music that brought many of them together in the first place, the hundreds of longtime friends were treated to performances by several bands that either played at or feature members that played at the storied venue, including Randy King and the New Positions, The Last Four (4) Digits, Latex Novelties and more. Although Crazy Al’s was only open less than one year, countless friendships were born during its existence. And for anyone in attendance that night in Fountain Square, it was made absolutely clear that these longtime bonds were rooted in something special. King said, “I know so many different people that I would never know otherwise, and it’s really nice. That to me is the best part of it. I didn’t achieve any monetary gain out of it, but what I got out of it was just a whole lot of fun and joy and appreciation.” Monetary gain was truly never the first priority of the club’s owners either. For them, the music was what came first. Cohen recollects, “We didn’t want to lose money, but I don’t think any of us envisioned getting rich. I think we all thought that we were doing, for lack of a better phrase, a public service by giving music like this an opportunity.” At

the end of the day, doing this is what brought him satisfaction. “I always wanted to hear new music, discover new music and be a part of new music,” he says. “That probably gave me the greatest joy out of everything because I was able to introduce it to this town.” Fulton believes Crazy Al’s was able to fill a void that so desperately needed to be filled in the city. He explains. “They were doing everything right. I think that’s kind of the bottom line on that place. They had a sense of what the market needed.” And even if the majority of the music being made at the time never reached large audiences, the numerous positive effects it had on the local community are unquestionable. “I don’t know how far it reverberated. Maybe not that far out of the state or out of the city,” Martin says. “But for this city and for this community, it was very important. The opportunity came forward and then people responded to it.” With music at the core, the welcoming atmosphere of Al’s birthed a family of friends, according to Fulton. He remembers, “It was very inclusive, and I think that was part of their success. People who would not necessarily have always been interested in that music did feel welcome there, and they would go in there and they weren’t going to get a hard time or be looked down upon. They would be part of the family.” With this in mind, he can wholeheartedly say,

“Everyone who went to Crazy Al’s will always remember Crazy Al’s.” Since the closing of the club decades ago, Cohen acknowledges, “If I had a dollar for every person who’s asked me since why I don’t do it again, I would probably be very, very, very rich.’” Nevertheless, the co-owner – who met his wife at Al’s – can still look back on that time and see the tremendous impact it has had on his own life. “All of my really great true friends, with a couple of exceptions, were friends I made during the Crazy Al’s years,” he says. “The friendships have endured, and it’s all because of a love of music and a love of that time.” n

The Veterans Coming Home initiative aims to spark dialogue on challenges faced by vets

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

ome is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in,” said poet Robert Frost. But what happens when “home” feels like an alien place when you have to go there after discharge from military service? A multi-media, arts-focused campaign launched in June aims to answer that question by promoting dialogue about the challenges faced by veterans transitioning to civilian life. Funded by a $25,000 grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the multi-year Veterans Coming Home initiative finds three organizations — WFYI Public Media, the Herron School of Art and Design’s Art Therapy Program and the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library — partnering on a variety of programming, including video profiles of local vets and a panel discussion with vets who have benefitted from art therapy (to be held Nov. 8 at the Central Library as part of Spirit & Place). The initiative kicked off Oct. 30 at the Milano Inn where, in 1947, WWII veteran Donald Peters painted a mural of the Allied Liberation. WFYI’s Clayton Taylor observes that like Peters’ mural, WFYI’s video profiles “capture how art serves as a turning point in the lives of servicemen and women. I think viewers will come away from watching them feeling hopeful and uplifted.” Some of the profiles, created by Kim Jacobs and Leigh DeNoon, are already available for viewing on the project’s website, wfyi.veteranscominghome.org. They’ll eventually be “stitched together,”

Nolan’s space epic Interstellar is 2001 on a feedback loop

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

ritten by director Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan, Interstellar is an ambitious, complex and sprawling film set in the near future. Earth is becoming uninhabitable due to “the blight.” Dust storms abound. Society still functions, though the emphasis is firmly on agrarian matters. Textbooks have been rewritten to state that the American space missions were merely Cold War hoaxes designed to get the Soviet Union to go bankrupt trying to compete with us. “We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars,” says astronaut turned farmer Cooper (Matthew McConaughey). “Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.” Sounds like a statement one might make right now. Cooper lives with his bright 10-yearold daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy), his 15-year-old son Tom (Timothee Chalamet) and grandpa Donald (John Lithgow). One day, the family spots a drone and hops in their truck to pursue it (like North by Northwest, but this time the people on the ground are chasing the plane). They end up at a secret NASA facility where scientists are planning an expedition to find a new home for humanity. Professor Brand (Michael Caine) explains (there’s a lot of explaining in this movie) that someone or something has opened a wormhole near Saturn. NASA sent a group of astronauts to look for new Class M planets and now they’re preparing a mission to go to the best of the bunch and it would sure be nice for Coop to lead

the mission, along with Brand’s scientist daughter Amelia (Anne Hathaway), astrophysicist Romilly (David Gyasi) and red shirt co-pilot Doyle (Wes Bentley). Coop reluctantly agrees, which pisses off Murph so much that she grows up to be Jessica Chastain and still remains mad at her beloved deserter daddy. Tom, who grows up to be Casey Affleck, doesn’t show a lot of emotion, because he’s underwritten that way. Think I’ve told you too much? Hell, that’s just the basic set-up. Suffice to say things get trippy and Hans Zimmer’s score gets so loud at points that you can’t understand the dialogue. Not that I likely would have grasped the technobabble anyway.

a bizarre-beautiful key scene in a location I couldn’t describe if I wanted to. The least stirring moment involves two guys in space suits trying to have a fist fight. The through-lines in the nearly threehour epic are “Will Cooper make good on his promise to reunite with Murph?” and “Will the space mission save mankind?” I was entertained and fully engaged for the first two-thirds of the story, despite my frustration at the one-note characterizations of the two women (and most of the men). McConaughey delivers — who better to play a philosophizing space cowboy? — and Bill Irwin does good voice work as this film’s clunky-cool version of HAL. The last third had too many cutaways between Earth and space, and I found myself just wanting Nolan to wrap it up. And how Nolan wraps it up will likely stir debate. For me, the conclusion of both through-lines were curiously muted. Interstellar is basically 2001: A Space Odyssey on a feedback loop. Do with that what you will. n

he holidays start a little early for one film-obsessed couple. “One of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever received was from one of our diehard fans. He said that he and his partner consider our film festival to be the opening of their holiday season each year: Indianapolis LGBT Film Festival, Thanksgiving and then Christmas.” That quote comes from Kevin Kelly, who’s overseeing the 13th edition of the annual festival, which is not only the city’s sole showcase for LGBT film, but also a non-profit, fundraising event for the Indiana Youth Group. And because it’s a fundraiser, Kelly tries to keep overhead low. “No, it’s not a one-man show at all,” he’s careful to say, but the office is in his house and he puts 10 months of labor into a single weekend’s worth of screenings. Still, he credits graphic designer Matt Mutchmore and social media director Annette Marino for their efforts — noting that other fests like Mutchmore’s work so much they’ve just gone ahead and stolen it for their own marketing materials — and points to a core of volunteers.

It’s about a struggling actress who impersonates Madonna for the day as a birthday gift for her gay best friend. The day doesn’t exactly go the way they planned it. I’ve watched it everyday for the past month, it makes me laugh. I love it so much I gave it my Director’s Award.”

“A charming buddy comedy about two women who go to a weekend at a couple’s retreat. There’s a fun twist at the end that the audience won’t see coming.” Nov. 8, 6 p.m. Valley of the Dolls

(featuring the Indy Pride Bag Ladies) “A lot of film festivals play cult classic films that are popular within the LGBT community and have had a lot of success with them. We’ve been wanting to try it for a while now. It’s a great film with lots of quotable dialogue.”

Nov. 9, 4:15 p.m. To Be Takei

“It’s funny and moving, and is all about his incredible journey from being a science fiction star to becoming a gay icon. He’s really a wonderful person, and I’m so proud that we are able to show this film.” n

BANG BANG: TARANTINO IN CONCERT MASHES TOGETHER SONGS FROM EIGHT SOUNDTRACKS T

arantino in Concert co-creator Shane Scheel says he’s “had a hard time” describing his show over the years. It’s not traditional musical theater. It’s not a rock concert. From all appearances, it doesn’t look like the kind of jukebox musical you might reluctantly watch after puking on the King Cobra because you just need to find somewhere air conditioned to sit down. So what is it then? The production consists of “live re-enactments of scenes” from eight Tarantino films “mashed up inside a rock and roll concert,” says Scheel. And it comes to Indy with Tarantino’s approval and after a string of high-profile performances at places like SXSW and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Here’s another term to work with: Scheel calls Tarantino in Concert “a true

mash-up. We don’t spend ten minutes in one movie and then move to another. You’ll be sitting in the diner with Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega, she’ll be telling the story of Fox Force Five — and then we blend that right in to the Vivica Fox scene from Kill Bill — and then we seamlessly go back into the diner where she finishes the story.” For the Record, the L.A.-based company behind the show, have done so well with Tarantino in Concert that, this year, they opened a space of their own in L.A. which they can program

year-round. Let’s take the story from the beginning: “Many years ago, I noticed there was this vast amount of talent in Los Angeles that was relocating to New York, and I started producing these piano bar parties in Hollywood,” says Scheel. “After we had done that for a little bit, we decided we should do some theme nights. So one night, we gathered a group of friends together to sing the soundtrack from a Tarantino film.” Things just rolled on from there, with the company first doing concerts at a ‘60s-themed bar, then taking them on the road. Beyond Tarantino, For the Record has drawn from the soundtracks of Baz Luhrman (“a wildly theatrical production where a lot of people die,” Scheel says), Martin Scorsese, the Coen brothers, John Hughes, Paul Thomas Anderson, Garry and Penny Marshall and Robert Zemeckis. But For the Record has had the most success with Tarantino, whose films

Scheel loved before he started performing the songs from them. On that note, what’s his favorite song from a Tarantino film — or rather, what song does he think was used most effectively? “I’m still a big fan of ‘Stuck in the Middle with You’ from Reservoir Dogs. That was a big inspiration for us to dive into this world where theater and rock and roll meet.” And does he amplify or downplay the violence in Tarantino’s films, which plays so deliciously off of his film’s soundtracks? “There’s definitely a violent edge to the show, which I think often scares people away. But I often think that his violence is done with a comic book feeling. His most gruesome scenes are done with a wink. That’s what makes it work for us — we don’t have to be too literal with anything. There’s gunshots, there’s language, we chop people’s ears off — but somehow the audience laughs.” n

BEER BUZZ

BY RITA KOHN

Josh Hambright, head brewer and co-founder with Jake Koeneman and Christopher Bly of the newly formed Central State Brewing, announced a contract brewing partnership with Black Acre Brewing Company that goes into effect in early 2015 upon completion of Black Acre’s expansion as part of the Irvington-based Coal Factory Redevelopment. Hambright and Black Acre’s Justin Miller said the collaboration beer they just brewed “highlights the unique approaches of both breweries as well as their partnership.” Hambright, whose Rasputin-like beard and MALT HOPS fingers’ tattoo had been part of the Flat 12 brewing team until Spring 2014, joins the lineage of brewers opening their own breweries after serving with extant breweries. Central State will be Indiana’s first brewery to focus exclusively on fermentation using wild yeast strains with a special emphasis on the Brettanomyces (“Brett”) yeast family. “Recently a growing number of U.S. breweries have begun to experiment with Brett, but few have committed to incorporating Brett into all their offerings. By utilizing Brett, we are able to pursue some really unique ideas. Brett opens up a whole new palette of flavors to paint with that we can use to create unique beers and put innovative spins on traditional styles,” said Hambright. Central State will continue to search for a permanent home in the Indianapolis area. More at: Facebook (facebook. com/CSBrewing), Twitter (@CSBrewing) and Info@ CentralStateBrewing.com.

CHEFS’ NIGHT OFF LEVELS UP AGAIN

Sitka ﬁsh proves Heaven is a plate on Earth

B Y S A RA H M U RREL L SM U R R E L L @ N U V O . N E T

y mother always told me that if I ever felt like I wanted to own a restaurant, I should go lay down until I felt better. This was coming from an experienced, successful restaurateur. That’s what Levi Egerton’s parents told him too, even after a lifetime of experience teaching him to reel in big fish off Alaska’s southern coast. They, too, told him to choose any other path than the one that would lead him back onto the Vallee Lee. “Every day of my life,” he laughed. Stuart Weathers’ parents were the same. But they and fellow fisherman Marsh Skeele had nearly identical childhood anecdotes: as soon as they were all physically capable of reeling in King Salmon or Halibut without being dragged into the drink, they were brought aboard their fathers’ fishing boats, either by force or by offering a paltry dollar-per-cleanedfish bribe, as Egerton’s father did. “It’s pretty much as soon as you can, but it’s usually around twelve,” said Weathers. But though they each had a story about how dead-set on not following the family business they were, each found themselves drawn back to the secondnature comfort of the fishing lifestyle — something they are all cautious about the average person over-romanticising. There’s nothing romantic about it. When it’s fishing season, everything comes second to bringing more fish on the boat, including eating and sleeping. Skeele’s day starts the second he gets a fish on the line, which could be an hour after he puts hooks in the water or minutes. Then the fish have to be reeled in, stunned, bled, cleaned, and put on ice. One at a time. Somewhat paradoxically, a fish on the line is just one more hook that can’t catch any more fish, and that fish has to come off that line as quickly as possible, creating an endless, manic cycle of fish processing. You eat when you have time — which, again, could be seconds or minutes — and often, you eat shelf-stable processed foods that can be shoved in your mouth in a gulp or a bite.

“PB&Js, granola bars, Cup-O-Noodles, sandwiches,” is the general reply to the question of an Alaskan fisherman’s onboard diet. Despite the romantic notions held by us landlocked weekend wakeboarders, the life of an Alaskan fisherman doesn’t involve a lot of J. Crew-style salmon-and-seersucker gatherings after a long day out in the refresh-

ing spray. “I have these granola bars I can open with my gloves on and still pretty much not get any fish guts on it as I’m putting it in my mouth. But sometimes I still do. And I eat it anyway,” says Egerton. Ah, like a passage out of Hemingway. The buy-in costs of starting a fishing operation are about where you would put the startup costs for a food truck. If you get a good deal, you’re looking at ten to fifty grand just to get started, plus the implied [astronomical] costs of retrofitting your vessel for your particular needs, depending on what you’re catching. Not to mention the intense wear and tear that all working boats acquire. For what each of the captains put into the basic maintenance of their boats, most of us could have gotten a really nice car.

NUVO’s Beer Bracket finals benefited Movember, and Mike Sole from Movember (lower left) helped us with logistics.

AND THE WINNERS ARE ... (Well, besides everyone who drank craft beer Saturday)

BY ED W E NC K EWENCK@NU VO . N ET

e tasted. We voted. One brewer walked away with bragging rights, a tap to call their own at Chumley’s and a nifty plaque. But really, everyone who got to spend an afternoon drinking Indiana craft beer is a true winner, right? Chumley’s in Broad Ripple was packed last Saturday afternoon for a blind tastetest to determine the best brewer in the Hoosier state. It was the big finish to our month-long contest which we modestly dubbed NUVO’s Great Indiana Beer Bracket. Readers voted for their favorite brewer at NUVO.net, and when we’d pulled a Final Four from the tally, we held a blind tasting in each of three styles. The groupings were admittedly broad — we had mild, hoppy and malty/dark categories — but the tasting allowed for an exploration of how diverse Indiana’s craft beer scene has become. The tasting — and the judging — was open to the general public. Courtney and Andy Tolle, a married couple from Indy who attended the event, found themselves developing a taste for craft beer together after Andy started bringing home the micro-suds for himself. Courtney wanted to taste the stuff Andy was buying. “She buys her own now that I told her to stop drinking my good beer,” laughed Andy. Andy travels quite a bit for work, and he’s found that Indiana’s craft beer industry stacks up with the best the rest of the

country has to offer. Brian and Mallory Lee dug the mild category. Brian’s especially fond of a beer not represented at the finals, Fountain Square’s “Workingman’s Pilsner.” Mallory was a fan of Sun King’s “Sunlight” Cream Ale, but still hadn’t developed a taste for hoppier stuff. “It’s an acquired taste, but I haven’t attempted to acquire it yet.” Cleo Walker made the trip from Evansville to visit friends and drink some quality brew. Cleo and his pal Bryce Esbey engaged in a pretty spirited discussion regarding food and beer pairings — Bryce contended that IPAs shouldn’t be served with chow since the hops, in his opinion, could overpower the meal. Cleo said he’s a fan of what Tin Man is canning in his hometown, but also had a lot of nice things to say about Turoni’s “Honey Blonde,” another iconic Evansville ale. Proceeds from the event benefitted Movember Indy, the group responsible for raising awareness — not to mention research dollars — regarding cancers specific to men, most notably prostate cancer. Movember rep Mike Sale did double duty for the finals: Mike’s also one of the dudes behind the event producer known as “Brew Bracket,” and Mike’s assistance with the day’s logistics was immeasurable. Without further ado, here are the big winners:

OVERALL WINNERS Gold Medal: Three Floyds Brewing Co. (Munster) Silver: Upland Brewing Co. (Bloomington) Bronze: Sun King Brewery (Indy) Honorable Mention: People’s Brewing Co. (Lafayette)

WINNERS FOR EACH CATEGORY Mild Gold Medal: Three Floyds Gumball Head Wheat Silver: Sun King Sunlight Cream Ale Bronze: People’s German Pilsner Honorable Mention: Upland Champagne Velvet Hoppy Gold Medal: Upland Coastbuster Imperial IPA Silver: Three Floyds Alpha King Bronze: Sun King Osiris Honorable Mention: People’s Moundbuilder IPA Malty/Dark Gold Medal: Three Floyds Moloko Milk Stout Silver: People’s Mr. Brown Imperial Brown Ale Bronze: Upland Bad Elmer’s Porter Honorable Mention: Sun King Wee Mac Scottish Ale

boat. The profits are not so clean-cut, after paying for all the local, state, and federal regulation of the fisheries. “Some people think you can just buy a boat, go out, and bring home free fish. It’s not like that,” said Skeele. He’s talking about the deeplyingrained commitment that Sitka fishermen (and many other Alaskan fisherman, probably, but I’ve only talked to these three) have to conserving and protecting their fisheries so that small, family-run operations can continue to thrive. The structures of protection are well-funded, either by state and federal oversight bodies and by selfimposed restrictions the fishermen decided for themselves. Every fish sold (plus some funding from other sources like the oil business) funds the continued multi-layered oversight that includes regulations like fishcounting. These governing bodies constantly monitor wildlife populations and can issue shutdown orders immediately to help conserve populations of fish like wild salmon, the health of which is judged by the number of salmon that make it upstream to spawn. After all, the health and survival of Alaska’s wildlife ensures the health and survival of a wide-flung web of global economics (and the continued feeding and clothing of Alaska’s fishermen and their families). Enter Nic Mink, who operates Sitka Salmon Shares, a model that is more or less a farm share for fishermen. It started as purely a meet-your-maker kind of thing, but grew due to good old fashioned word of mouth thanks to amazing products. He wanted to put buyers in direct contact with the people who were literally reeling in the fish on their plates. And, like anyone who buys from the farmer’s market knows, small-scale produced goods are often heads and tails above what you can find in the grocery store, thanks to the individual care given to the product, the freshness, and, yes, the love. Just like a CSA, you can buy in at whatever level you can afford. With “entry-level” buy-ins in the 200-range, Mink knows that it’s not going to be in everyone’s budget. So, like a savvy drug dealer, Mink had Skeele, Weathers and Egerton bring the freshest fish most of us Hoosiers had ever had to the last Chefs’ Night Off dinner of the year, once again raising the bar for the pop-up dining model. n

CHANGING MINDS AND HEARTS Hoosier Environmental Council’s Greening the Statehouse

BY J I M P O Y S ER E D I T O R S @ N U V O . NET

ach year, the Hoosier Environmental Council stages a Greening the Statehouse event to highlight the most essential environmental issues that will be faced in the coming legislative session. The event is normally an allday affair, packed with presentations, a keynote speech, panels and vendors. It’s a bit of a challenge for folks intrinsically concerned about nature to spend all day indoors under coal-fueled lighting, but this year’s Greening was marked by a truncated agenda: The entire event lasted under 3 hours, giving us all the opportunity to exit the Indiana State Museum and spend all afternoon in the sun. Over 200 people attended. The keynote address was by director Josh Fox, whose two documentaries about fracking (Gasland and Gasland 2) have generated mainstream attention and alarm for the harm posed by the frenzied spread of this toxic, secretive procedure. Josh Fox was a bit of a coup for HEC, an internationally known filmmaker and no small heartthrob. He took the stage at the IMAX with a banjo slung around his neck, an instrument he said he was raised on, and began his talk with a tale of meeting the great folksinger Pete Seeger, one of this country’s most noteworthy activists. Fox described the almost accidental way he began his Oscar-nominated documentary, released in 2010. It was out of the necessity to try and understand what hydraulic fracturing might do to his family’s land in Pennsylvania. That exploration took him on a nationwide trip that resulted in the film, its sequel, and thus a life as a full time fractivist. Along the way it created an unforgettable image of a faucet becoming a font of fire. Fox says he has been to 300 cities to show his film, to meet fellow fractivists

(say that three times fast), and to learn from those who have been personally impacted by fracking. He’s gleaned a thing or two about activism along the way — most notably the necessity of a “neighbor to neighbor” approach to education and uprising. It was an inspiring talk, full of humor and pathos, and the sense that each one of us may be poised to embark our own, similar adventures. What stood out to IUPUI’s Dr. Stephen Jay about Fox’s keynote was the filmmaker’s conclusion that “America is not a democracy but an oligarchy — with a few hundred citizens holding the equivalent wealth of half of US population.” Dr. Jay was honored after the Fox keynote with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

And the winners are Each year HEC, led by executive director Jesse Kharbanda, hands out numerous awards. As mentioned, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Dr. Jay, a professor of Medicine and Public Health and past founding chair of the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health. According to Kharbanda, “Dr. Jay has, in our view, done more than any academic in Indiana to make environmental public health matters visible and relevant before the public and policymakers.” Gary, Indiana, resident John Rhyne was honored with an “Environmentalist of the Year” award for his work in a Gary neighborhood subjected to toxic dumping. “John’s tireless effort to fight for his community is even more noteworthy given the generally systemic government apathy to the many environmental injustices long endured by the citizens of Gary which have caused so many of its civic-minded people to give up,” said Kim Ferraro, senior staff attorney at the Hoosier Environmental Council. Oakland City resident Nancy Gehlhausen was also honored with

an Environmentalist of the Year award. Gehlhausen was cited for her advocacy work on a variety of issues, including coal ash disposal, coal mining toxins and I-69. No one was surprised — and all celebrated — when Power Indy Forward was awarded Organization of the Year. This 55-member coalition, led by the Sierra Club, pretty much blew everyone’s mind when IPL announced its Harding Street plant would stop burning coal by 2016, in lieu of burning natural gas instead.

And the legislation is Two key pieces of legislation were brought to the forefront on Saturday. Governor Pence, upon taking office in 2012, signed Executive Order 13-03. According to the governor’s web site, the order was put in place because: “Understanding that over several decades, government regulations had increased the complexity and expense of Hoosiers’ lives, the Governor ordered a stop to new regulations and a thorough review of the ones already in place.” To HEC, the moratorium would, with few exceptions, “tie the hands of Indiana’s regulators from enacting any new or modified safeguards to protect our environment.” HEC believes this executive branch moratorium will be introduced into the legislative branch through legislation, further strengthening it. The second piece of legislation is entitled “No More Stringent Than,” which bars Indiana’s regulators,

according to HEC, “from acting on their own to enact environmental safeguards stronger than the federal government.” For Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Dr. Jay, these “proposals to handcuff state regulators from protecting the environment and public health contrary to wishes of the citizens ... [are] not consistent with democratic government. Legislative actions that result in polluting the environment, promoting disease and adding costs to citizens’ pocket books are not morally defensible or fair for hardworking people.” Finally, this HEC event was the official launch of a statewide initiative, Greening Your Community. New HEC staff member, Amanda Shepherd, says the Greening Your Community events “are aimed at continuing the conversation beyond our annual forum and engaging even more citizens across the state in environmental policy. We know that the upcoming legislative session is critical to the future of Indiana’s environment ... With such important, and potentially devastating, issues on the line, it is exceptionally important to get citizens actively engaged in our political process and advocating for a cleaner and healthier environment. “The goal,” she adds, “is to motivate many more Hoosiers to get involved in advocating for change.” Big Car’s Anne Laker said the event left her “with the fired up feeling that great storytelling (film, visuals, words) combined with truth, of course, is our ultimate tool for changing minds and hearts.” n

“America is not a democracy but an oligarchy.” — DR. STEPHEN JAY’s takeaway from Josh Fox’s lecture. NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 11.05.14 - 11.12.14 // INDIANA LIVING GREEN 27

Mikey Mason wants you to know he has the best job in the world. “My day job is telling dick jokes to Middle America, and that’s an awesome job, man,” he says laughing, during our interview. “I can’t complain. My dream job, though, is to tell slightly more intellectual dick jokes to geeks.” When I ask if that means his goal is to become the geek Bill Hicks, Mason sounds inspired. “Oh God! I think Bill Hicks was the geek Bill Hicks,” he says. “He was as intellectual as you could get, and I think that’s what frustrated him up until the day he died, that America did not want to engage with him on an intellectual level. He became a philosopher, an orator, an inspirational speaker.” A veteran comedy songwriter, Mason returns to Indianapolis, bringing his brand of improvisational geek comedy rock music to the White Rabbit Cabaret in Fountain Square. And the Central Indiana native is ready to throw a few tricks at the audience, should the fans be willing to go along for the ride. “Stand-up comedy relies on making everything seem new, but there are many times where you’re on stage and you throw out a line off the cuff and it stays in your act the rest of the time you do that joke,” Mason explains. “I used to improvise songs on stage regularly, that’s something I’m getting back to.” Mason says he strives to keep his act improvisational while working to give fans room to participate in the act. “I try to do a lot of crowd work that isn’t crowd work,” he says. “Some comedians do an entire set that’s based on talking to the crowd. I like to throw out false options, asking a question and let somebody answer it while I already know where I’m going. And maybe there’s a decision tree, that I might go from A to B depending on their answer. But it’s that appearance of choice, which is good interaction as long as you’re genuine with your audience.” — JONATHAN SANDERS Mikey Mason with David Britton, Jordan Mather-Licht and Jim Leugers, Thursday, Nov. 13, White Rabbit Cabaret, 1116 E.

Today is one of those exciting days, as we announce Gear and Beer, a new equipment-focused Q&A series written by local writer and gearhead Brett Alderman. In each edition of this feature, Alderman will take a local band out for beers at a local brewery, and chat about their gear. Our first featured band is The Bleeding Keys, who will release their first full-length album, Ghost Again, at a sold out show at Radio Radio this Friday.

Paragon series. It’s a 9-ply maple kit 5-piece with the snare. They’re big. It’s a 26” bass drum, 13” rack tom and a 16” and 18” floor toms, a very rock and roll beefy sound. I use big cymbals. I’m a Zildjian guy all the way. I was looking for a new drumset and I came across it online. It was used – and cheap, for what it normally was. I noticed it because it was pink; that was what caught my eye, so I called. “It’s cheap because it’s really big and pink, and no one wants a big pink drum set.” I was like “Well I do. Send it my way.” I didn’t plan for it to be big. It was the pink that I always wanted. And I’m a huge John Bonham fan, so that works. JONATHAN GREEN: I use an Aguilar Tone Hammer head, most of the time with

two single 12”s. The tweeters are neodymium, so they’re like 20 pounds. I’ll use the Aguilar Agro overdrive pedal. Bass wise, it varies. My upright, it’s an Engelhardt Swingmaster with the maple body, a laminate body, so it’s a little sturdier. It’ll take a couple hits instead of warping. For electric I use a Fender American Deluxe 5-string. I used the Rickenbacker a couple of times on the album, too. I recently picked up a Kala U-bass because we were playing a coffee shop where there was literally no place for me to stand. NUVO: For a stage like Radio Radio’s, will you just bring your electric? GREEN: Because we’re doing the release there, I’ll probably bring my upright too. Especially when we’re trying to create moments in a show, there have been times when we’ve dropped down really low, and an upright actually works there without an amplifier.

accordion brand, but that’s Marilyn and I take her everywhere. NUVO: What can you tell me about Jeremy and Darren’s setup? GREEN: Darren uses mainly an American Telecaster that has humbuckers. On the album he used a couple of different amps. He used a Vox AC30, an Orange AD50 and then he also used a Fender Rampart. Pedal-wise, he’s using an OCD, a Fulltone overdrive dual channel and he also uses a tap tempo delay. Periodically , he uses a Whammy pedal. He has a Gibson ES-137. The bigger hollowbody with the center-block. LEFFINGWELL: Jeremy plays a Martin acoustic [DC-16RGTE]. He plugs right into a direct box. NUVO: Is that his workhorse? LEFFINGWELL: Yeah, he plays that all the time. He played a mandolin part on the SUBMITTED PHOTO album. At shows, he just plays acoustic. There’s a song with a weird tuning that he has a Takamine for that one song, but the Martin is pretty much the only one he plays. NUVO: Is there anything you’ve been doing differently in the studio, than what you’ve been doing live? LEFFINGWELL: There’s a song it has like a real hip-hop element to it. There’s a drum loop going and very hip-hop feeling, this is totally; every person that I’ve shown has been like “What?” So that was a very different setup. The drums I laid down was a cool part, [but it] seemed empty. Then at the studio where we recorded [Azmyth with Travis Moore], we got together with him and started playing through some drum loops. It sounded like “Oh, that should be in there the whole time.” NUVO: What did you guys use to reference your progress in the studio? LEFFINGWELL: From the first track all the way to the end, we listened to it through Klipsch gear. I had the Status headphones, Jeremy had the Image 1 headphones. We could hear the spit coming out of Jeremy’s mouth. We also listened to it through the X7i’s and the KMC3’s. Then we’d put it in our car and drive around, listening to it on the stereo. n NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 11.05.14 - 11.12.14 // MUSIC 29

JACK BRUCE, NO SURRENDER U

B Y D A VID HO O P P E EDITORS@NU VO . N ET

nless you’ve been reading the obituaries lately, the chances are you’ve never heard of Jack Bruce. Jack died last week in England at the age of 71. Jack was a musician, played bass and sang with a band called Cream in the late 1960s. His bandmates in that trio were Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton. Clapton, of course, became very famous; he played guitar, the glamour instrument of that era. Cream was a phenomenon. It lasted just a couple of years and four albums, but their influence was profound, affecting even the Beatles. Cream was known for the inspired, improvisatory quality of its playing, but its songs were tremendous as well. Jack wrote most of those with a poet named Pete Brown. There were hits like “Sunshine of Your Love” and “White Room” that still make it into some radio rotations, but there were an amazing

number of minor masterworks that were even better: “As You Said,” “Deserted Cities of the Heart,” “We’re Going Wrong,” to name just a few. These songs were supremely literate, urgent and gorgeously sung by Jack, whose voice was knowing, sly and never less than completely committed. You can make a strong case that he was the most gifted musician in a generation that became known for the pioneering quality of its players. That would be the generation that came to prominence during the 1960s. Like so many of his British peers, Jack was inspired by American blues artists. He once noted that those original blues tracks were perfect; they were impossible to improve upon, but allowed artists like himself room to appropriate and reinvent them in ways that made sense in a different context. It’s that insistence on reinvention that made ‘60s music so dynamic —

from Dylan’s making folk songs electric to Hendrix’s psychedelicized blues. Jack Bruce did as much as anyone to make it new. That’s why, for me, Jack was such a quintessential artist. When Cream broke up, he became not a star, but a musician’s musician, playing with everyone from Lou Reed to Carla Bley and Larry Coryell. He teamed up with the avant garde auteur Kip Hanrahan to

make a couple of moody Latin-inspired records, “Desire Develops and Edge” and “Vertical’s Currency.” He even sang words by Samuel Beckett. People have tried to sum the meaning of the ‘60s in many ways, most of them not very satisfactory. Did that time make the world a more peaceful place? Have our politics gotten better? How’s that social justice thing going? By refusing to be pinned down or corporately categorized, Jack Bruce reminded us that the ‘60s were ultimately more personal than political, a cultural moment in which an extraordinary opening was made for creative acts of reinvention. Jack didn’t just theorize about this. He lived it. I saw him play at the Vogue once, in 1988 or ’89. It was a rainy night, there were maybe 50 people there. He played as if his life depended on it, practically burned the place down. I hear him loud and clear. n

LESSONS FROM RIOT GRRRLS

remember being outraged the first time I heard about riot grrrl punk band Bikini Kill. I was flipping through an issue of the punk zine Maximum Rocknroll and I saw an extended review of one of the group’s early shows sometime during the early ‘90s. The majority of the reviewer’s write-up focused on the fact that Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna had forced all the guys in attendance to the back of the club to make way for the women to occupy the front of the stage. The reviewer was incensed by Hanna’s behavior, and I was too. And my anger only grew as I read on, as the writer also noted that at some Bikini Kill shows Hanna had banned men from entering altogether. The idea that someone would prevent me from participating in something I enjoyed simply because of my gender was unacceptable to me. I wouldn’t appreciate the irony of the lesson I’d just received from Hanna until much later. But eventually I did learn.

This new disc from the Jon Strahl Band is pretty damn terrific. Naptown has a blues tradition going back almost 100 years. This disc really does the city proud. Jon has given the blues a nice rock veneer. He seems like he started out as a Led Zeppelin fan and then discovered the blues by studying Jimmy Page’s influences. And that’s not a bad thing. No matter the path he took to arrive in “blues land,” I’m just giddy that he got here. Jon Strahl has put out the best local blues release in a long time. You need this.

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL Haunted Dick Syndrome Premature ejaculation haunts me. Any recommendations on regaining control? — Anonymous, from Tumblr

Lube N00b As a woman fairly new to this, I am wondering what are the differences between various lubricants? Any recommendations? Water-based? Silicon-based? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: In short, go with feel, lasting power, and compatibility with birth control and sex toys. I’m not as savvy about lubricants as someone in my position should be, other than to say: yes. Get some. I’ve only ever used water-based, because all anecdotal evidence pointing to it being the most natural-feeling stuff you can get. I have a friend who swears there’s nothing better than the store brand, so I say save your money and start with the offbrand water-based stuff and experiment from there. DR. D: Water-based lubricants can be used with pretty much everything: sex toys of any material, contraceptive devices of any material, condoms, and so on. They feel closer to natural lubrication but the lubrication absorbs quickly into the skin, so it doesn’t last all that long. Silicone based lubricant lasts a very long time, doesn’t easily absorb into the skin, and so it’s a better choice for sex play in a bath or shower. However, silicone based lubricants don’t fare well with other silicone-based products, such as silicone sex toys. Our team’s research show that both silicone and water-based lubricants are rated highly for use with vaginal sex, anal sex, masturbation, and sex toy play, so ultimately lubricant choice is about personal preference and is also influenced by what you’re planning to use it for or with.

At least when you’re doing the deed, just pause once in a while when you’re getting close to the edge and do other stuff—mouth stuff, hand stuff, just rubbin’ up on each other and whatnot (this sentence works better if you imagine it in the voice of Leon Phelps, the Ladies Man). As a lady, I can say that any effort to get me there is much, much appreciated. It’s not all about the P-n-V fun, and it all puts funds in the Orgasm Bank. DR. D: It doesn’t have to haunt you. Some men just come easily just like some women come easily and just like most women don’t come all that easily. Our bodies are what they are! That said, some men can learn to delay the timing of their ejaculation — far more details on this can be found in The New Male Sexuality (mainly through something called the stop-start technique, but there are other skill-building exercises too). And if you’re partnered with a man who comes quickly, check out my book Sex Made Easy. It really doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker or a major stressor, given the million and one ways people can learn to pleasure each other that go beyond timing how long sex lasts.

SARAH: Time to make an appointment with your gyno, stat! Nothing worse than a jumpy vag, that’s for sure. In the meantime, I’ll foreshadow Debby in saying that you can still have plenty of other fun that doesn’t involve penetration. Just pretend you went to a Christian college for a few weeks while you get it checked out. DR. D: Your vagina is definitely not ruined for life. Or even for months. If intercourse used to be comfortable for you and now it’s not (and nothing obvious has changed — for example, you didn’t stop using lubricant or start using condoms or start/stop birth control or some other medication), then your best bet is to check in with your gynecologist to make sure everything looks good as far as she/he is concerned. In the mean time, try spending more time on foreplay and using a store-bought lubricant for intercourse. Or you can ditch intercourse for now and focus more on oral sex, sex toy play, breast play, and other forms of sex that feel better and not so painful.

Boners: Your Health Barometer I have a weak erection and quick ejaculation. What can I do?

Consider the Ocean

— Anonymous, from Tumblr

Does a seven-inch dick get the job done? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: Look, a lot of dicks get the job done, but a lot of other things get the job done. If I have to, I will trot out the old boat metaphor: it’s the motion of the ocean. There are lots of things that feed into the sexual experience, which has a lot to do with chemistry, intimacy, and every sexual-social-psychological fucking minefield in-between. But anyone who really thinks great sex requires a big dick probably hasn’t had a lot of good or interesting sex in his or her life. And after polling (heh heh) my ladyfriends, they agree that, if anything, there is an inverse correlation between size and orgasmic skill. (Yay, over-compensators!) Focus on the quality of the orgasm, not the matter in which it occurs. TL;DR: Don’t worry about the size of your dick, just make sure you don’t suck in bed in general.

SARAH: I’ve been watching a lot of food documentaries lately, and one of the things I gathered from these documentaries is that boners are kind of nature’s ultimate health barometer. I would go to the doctor and get a full blood panel (I checked this with my MD sister, and she agrees) and make sure you’re not having a larger issue. The other thing I gained from these documentaries? Giving up processed foods and eating more whole foods, vegetables, and getting some exercise is like nature’s ultimate Viagra. In the short term? Experiment with cock rings and see how it goes.

DR. D: No better or worse than a four or five or six inch erect penis. Technique and psychological/emotional connection are far better predictors of good sex than something like penis size, anyway.

DR. D: Check in with your healthcare provider on the weak erection front. You’ll want to make sure it’s not an early warning sign of cardiovascular health problems and/or diabetes, which erectile problems can sometimes be. If all checks out just fine, you might look into The Sexual Male: Problems and Solutions and/or a sex therapy appointment with Dr. Angela Marshall or another AASECT-certified sex therapist (aasect.org) or a sex therapist affiliated with SSTAR (sstarnet.org). (Also, see above regarding ejaculation.)

No Such Thing As A Broken Vagina

Have a question?

The past couple times I’ve had sex with my longterm boyfriend, penetration has hurt and been pretty uncomfortable. It kind of just feels super tight in a bad way. We recently took about two weeks off from sex just because we were super busy/traveling/sleeping our dicks off and waking up too late. Is this common? Is my vagina ruined for life? What can I do to make it hurt less? — Anonymous, from Tumblr

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Shape-shifting is a common theme in fairy tales, says cultural historian Marina Warner in her book From the Beast to the Blonde. “A rusty lamp turns into an all-powerful talisman,” for example. “A humble pestle and mortar become the winged vehicle of the fairy enchantress,” or a slovenly beggar wearing a dirty donkeyskin transforms into a radiant princess.

wrote more than 90 books, as well as numerous plays, musical comedies, and film scripts. When he died at age 93, he was working on another novel. He did not suffer from writer’s block. And yet his process was far from effortless. He rarely churned out perfection on his first attempt. “I have never written a novel,” he testified, “without doing 40,000 words or more and finding they were all wrong and going back and starting again.” The way I see your immediate future, Sagittarius, is that you will be creating your own version of those 40,000 wrong words. And that’s OK. It’s not a problem. You can’t get to the really good stuff without slogging through this practice run. Sagittarius

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a favorable time for you to meditate intensely on the subject of friendship. I urge you to take inventory of all the relevant issues. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. How good of a friend are you to the people you want to have as your friends? What capacities do you cultivate in your effort to build and maintain vigorous alliances? Do you have a clear sense of what qualities you seek in your cohorts and colleagues? Are you discerning in the way you choose your compatriots, or do you sometimes end up in associations with people you don’t truly enjoy and don’t have much in common with? If you discover any laziness or ignorance in your approach to the art of friendship, make the necessary fixes. Capricorn

century, an American named Annie Londonderry became the first woman to ride a bicycle around the world. It was a brave and brazen act for an era when women still couldn’t vote and paved roads were rare. Her 15-month journey took her through countries that would be risky for a single woman on a bike to travel through today, like Egypt and Yemen. What made her adventure even more remarkable was that she didn’t know how to ride a bike until two days before she departed. I’d love to see you plan a daring exploit like that, Scorpio — even if you do not yet have a certain skill you will need to succeed.

Imagine that your gangsta name is Butt-Jugglin Smuggla. Your pirate name is Scallywagger Hornslasher. Your sex-worker name is Saucy Loaf. Your Mexican wrestler name is Ojo Último (Ultimate Eye). Your rock star-from-the-future name is Cashmere Hammer. Or make up your own variations. Pisces

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Before the invention of the printing press, books in Europe were handmade. Medieval monks spent long hours copying these texts, often adding illustrations in the margins. There’s an odd scene that persistently appears in these illuminated manuscripts: knights fighting snails. Scholars don’t agree on why this theme is so popular or what it means. One theory is that the snail symbolizes the “slow-moving tedium of daily life,” which can be destructive to our hopes and dreams — similar to the way that literal snails may devour garden plants. In accordance with the cosmic omens, I am bestowing a knighthood on you, Aquarius, so you will be inspired to rise up and defeat your own metaphorical version of the snail. Aquarius
