ight before the Indiana Black Expo’s Summer Celebration kicked into high gear for the weekend, Mayor Joe Hogsett announced five new initiatives for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The initiatives are designed to increase transparency and accountability within IMPD and strengthen the relationship between the city’s law enforcement officers and the community. The proposed initiatives include:
injunction that prevents SEA 404 from taking effect. Hoosier taxpayer money will continue to go to appeal a bill that limits reproductive choice and has already been deemed unconstitutional. This is not a good use of state resources.

• I MPLICIT BIAS TRAINING: IMPD and the Mayor’s Office of Public Health and Safety will bring in nationally recognized experts, who have worked with the Department of Justice, to implement a “training of trainers” program for implicit bias. Implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect an individual’s understanding, actions, and decisions. These biases are understood to be activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness. This new program will work to train IMPD officers as well as
4 // NEWS // 07.19.17 - 07.26.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
provide police and community members with the tools to lead implicit bias training. This comprehensive effort will be a first of its kind in the nation. • CREATION OF A USE OF FORCE REVIEW BOARD: IMPD will create a Use of Force Review Board that will review any incident where an officer resorted to the use of force to resolve the issue, be it a physical altercation, use of Taser, or use of firearm. • CREATION OF AN OFFICE OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION: IMPD will create an Office of Diversity and Inclusion to be located within the IMPD Training Academy. This office will include officers and community members with a mission to assess and evaluate the impact of training and operational policies on the community, identify trends quickly, and make necessary changes accordingly.
•T RAINING CURRICULUM REVIEW AND REFORM: IMPD will bring in a diverse set of legal experts to analyze the training curriculum for new officers and revise the continuing education that all officers receive, with a strong focus on ensuring that the role of implicit bias is minimized in the way IMPD officers are prepared to interact with residents in this city. •C OMMUNITY REVIEW OF THE CITIZENS POLICE COMPLAINT BOARD: The Mayor’s Office will engage community and faith leaders to conduct a comprehensive review of the Citizens Police Complaint Board. While the board has already been engaged with the community, this process will ensure the board is servicing the needs and best interests of all residents in a fair and just manner. The timing of the announced initiatives coincides with the ongoing investigation

Museum of Psychphonics will shift locations after Saturday event BY HALEY GIBSON // ARTS@NUVO.NET
D
iscovery starts with a deep trek into the depths of the Murphy Building. Now take a sharp turn into a hidden space inside what used to be Joyful Noise Recordings and is now Musical Family Tree’s homebase. A deep red curtain keeps just out of sight a clever museum crafted by the talents of Michael Kaufman and Kipp Normand just a year ago, encasing what’s surely to be the most curious collection you’ve seen in a while. Yes, it’s hard to find. But if you can make it inside the Museum of Psychphonics, I assure you that you won’t leave disappointed. “That’s sort of intentional, or welcome, I suppose, because it adds to the mystery a little bit,” said Kaufmann. The museum will host an evening of artist lectures and presentations during an event called Adjacent Mythologies on July 22, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. “At one point we considered calling the museum The Museum of Pyschphonics and Adjacent Mythologies, so [this event] is
sort of fulfilling that dream,” said founder Michael Kaufmann. “This idea of pysch meaning soul or mind, and phonics of sound. The sound of breath, or of the mind. It’s suppose to be open to a lot of interpretation. We wanted to find a word that was new and provocative.” As a “wunderkrammer” – or, curiosity cabinet – that plays host to Indianapolis-specific items, the museum is most widely known for the inclusion of the Baby Mothership, a novelty stage piece from’70s funk icons Parliament Funkadelic. “The new National Museum of African American History and Culture has a replica of the large mothership. The original big one is no longer; it’s been disassembled. We have the original small one — that speaks to the significance of it,” said Kaufmann. The benefit event on Saturday will include a talk with museum “architect” Kipp Normand; readings by Face a Face; an exploration of science fiction with themes of black history in Afrofuturism; and a Black Panther and Wakanda discussion led by poet and professor Mitchell L. H. Douglas — which
6 // VISUAL // 07.19.17 - 07.26.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
should serve as a good precursor to the Marvel film coming out in early 2018. “I love this idea that the museum becomes this platform for other conversations and interesting diversions,” said Kaufmann. “The idea that while the museum is focused on certain stories and certain themes, that the event then provides the adjacent mythologies and mysteries and stories.” Kaufmann will speak at 6:30 p.m., and the night finishes with a performance from Oreo Jones performing as Michael Raintree at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets aren’t needed to attend, but a five dollar donation is suggested to benefit the museum, and previous neighborhood local label Joyful Noise Recordings will match all the night’s donations in full. “I think in the cultural fabric of our city, it’s a very unique and well thought-out experience,” said Kaufmann of the museum. “I have to say that is the case because we have such a great set of collaborators and interest. I am really excited in some ways this program is happening, and the activity that has been sparked by this museum has been really fun and rewarding.” Saturday’s event serves as a closing party for this iteration of the Museum of Psychphonics. Due to incoming renovations to the Murphy Building, Normand and Kaufmann will move locations to another space inside the building. “It’s going to be little bit easier to get to,” said Kaufmann, saying that the renovations will include wheelchair accessibility. “Fountain Square is changing, and I am happy that the building owner has been incredibly supportive of us.” N
CASH MUSICAL IS FIRE
R
ing of Fire sparkles as a Johnny Cash biographical musical in the intimacy of Beef&Boards’ theatre. An outstanding cast of eight each announcing, “I am Johnny Cash” whips through 32 songs, most by Cash, showing facets of Cash’s life from his hard-scrabble childhood though the 1930s and 40s, his leap to fame in the 1950s, disillusionment, the dark years and ultimately redemption and celebration. Playing some two dozen instruments between them, and expertly trading off as soloists, some of the most touching moments come with the outstanding harmony as the cast shows the sweep of a song’s genesis and its meaning at that moment. As much the story of all of us in the United States of America from 1932 to the turn of the 21st century as it is Cash’s place within that sweep, Ring of Fire is an appreciation of a life without excuses. Don’t expect an impersonation of the Man in Black or a mere recitation of songs. Created by Richard Maltby Jr., the award-winning director of Ain’t Bisbehavin and Fosse, the ensemble approach opens the audience to their own connections with benchmark songs. Overheard during intermission at the table next to

mine was how well the first act connected with them on their own personal levels — hearing them now touched them as much as when first listening to a recording or catching Cash on the Grand Ole Opry. “Before rock and roll, there was county” informs an actor; before country there was gospel. And when you’ve lived a while and knocked around more than your share, there’s blues to lament choices and the fates. Expect directorial surprises along with the always outstanding Beef&Boards aesthetic interpretation of a script. Directed by Curt Wollan, with choreography by Wendy Short-Hays and musical direction by Travis Smith, the cast embraces Ring of Fire on a personal level, reaching out to us in the seats, to judge not by incidental events or a period of one’s life, but by the sweep of it across the decades. In the balance, “Is he a good man?” The songs we most love are honest admissions of the striving. Cast members making their B&B debut are Melody Allegra Berger, Tim Drake, Allison Kelly, Jeremy Sevelovitz, Travis Smith and Zack Steele; returning are Brian Gunter and Jill Kelly Howe.

ndy Film Fest continues through Saturday, July 23. Find a full schedule at indyfilmfest.org.
THE RACE OF GENTLEMEN Showing July 21, 4:30 p.m., DeBoest Lecture Hall The Race of Gentlemen, an annual shenanigan in Wildwood, New Jersey, gathers hot rod and roadster lovers to race antiques from the ‘40s. Founded by Mel Stultz and the Oilers Car Club, the event has the makings of a great story. Instead, The Race of Gentlemen insists on sharing the complexities of car parts. A focus on technological intricacies lost the importance of Mel and other personalities involved in this kooky celebration of history. In other words: It forgot the human element that makes a film available to everyone. Multiple times, the gentlemen interviewed throughout said, “The experience of riding these hot rods and roadsters in the sand can’t be explained.” Then show me! Interview after interview, riders shared details about their car’s trinkets. While the visuals of wooden steering wheels and funky hood shapes are appealing, the shots don’t match the narration in order to involve a novice. This paired with clunky chunking of characters as individuals rather than a whole community made the film disjointed. Little tastes of the story appear as fellas
shoot the shit over engines and trash talk at the starting line. These glimpses teach that life is too short to be taken seriously and gave breath to the narrative. But I feel the film needed Mel to serve as an anchor. He has the background and investment in the organization to excite the audience. We don’t learn until too late in the movie that his transition to automobiles and bikes was a result of leaving an unfulfilling music career and the bottle. A strong documentary brings you into an unfamiliar setting and tells you why you want to fall in love with the characters. The Race of Gentlemen was less convincing with a background on how these men got to this oceanside shindig. The piece is perfect for your uncle who lives for engines and racing details, but not the layman. In the end, the disjointed tale left the viewer feeling like a spectator. –Katelyn Calhoun

won the Best of Hoosier Lens and the Best of American Spectrum Feature at this year’s Indy Film Fest. Our main character, a second-generation Pakistani immigrant, Zaynab (Fawzia Mirza) serves as a lawyer to her community and caretaker to her recently widowed mother. Full of contrasting social issues, this endearing story begins with a bar scene and progresses with a romance between Zaynab and the flirty, Mexican-American woman Alma (Sari Sanchez). Mirrored in the Pakistani dramas Zaynab’s mother uses to escape reality, Zaynab’s closeted sexuality makes love with Alma forbidden and dramatic. To handle the pressure, Zaynab takes up lucha-style wrestling. Coached and mentored by a former pro-wrestler Jolt, she jumps into the ring to wrangle her fears. Wrestling attire plays a significant role throughout Signature Move, as director Reeder looks at the ways Zaynab hides herself behind literal and emotional masks. A chance in an actual ring against an opponent towering a foot or more above her determines if Zaynab will pull off one of those masks for good. –Katelyn Calhoun

look at a murder investigation on a Native American reservation — also serves as the conclusion in his trilogy exploring the American West, which also includes the Mexican-American border investigation of a cartel’s violence in Sicario and the West Texas bank-robbers in Hell and High Water. Sheridan, who played a sheriff on FX’s Sons of Anarchy, is obviously interested in dissecting issues of jurisdiction in his films. Who has the power to investigate what and where? How do those investigations harm or help victims? When is “justice” really served? Those are questions rookie FBI agent Elizabeth Olsen and game-tracker Jeremy Renner contemplate in Wind River as they work together to find the killer of a young Native woman. Our resident on staff- criminal justice expert (yes, NUVO’s staff has it all) also in attendance commented on the compelling way Sheridan depicted the fallout from sexual assault — how invasive the process of investigation is for victims and their families, and the challenges in investigating sexual assault thoroughly in the first place, especially among disadvantaged populations. Like Graham Greene’s tribal police character, Ben, says, there just aren’t resources. Sheridan never lets you forget that the crimes in the film are based on current realities for Native Americans, including that until 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, non-Native persons could not be prosecuted for crimes against women that occurred on reservations. (Another injustice: Native persons can be prosecuted for the same crime committed on a reservation twice — both federally and also by Indian criminal tribunal.) This would be a good time to mention that this is Sheridan’s directorial debut. He told the IndyStar in an interview, “I could not trust that someone else would have a different vision for this film.” Like any first-time director, there’s room to grow. A few scenes could have used some editing and a few visual clues were leaned upon a bit too much. (Many, many shots of family photos.) But the passion for justice and honest depiction of realities Native Americans face on reservations was evident throughout. Earlier this year, Sheridan took home the Un Certain Regard mise-en-scene award from Cannes. Harvey Weinstein (whose Weinstein
NUVO.NET/SCREENS Company is distributing the film) read his acceptance speech, which included, in part: “It is a great shame of my nation the manner it has treated the original inhabitants of North America. Sadly, my government continues that shame through an insidious mixture of apathy and exploitation.” –Katherine Coplen
Sunday at the Indy Film Fest featured a threecourse afternoon of chef-tastic films during an event called Foodie Sunday. The films will be playing again as part of Shorts: Eatin’ Good on Thursday, July 20 at 4 p.m. in the DeBoest Lecture Hall.
RABBIT BLOOD This quirky animated short has style reminiscent of Tim Burton’s early drawings and even moreso of the lesser known, but enjoyable Australian children’s show The Adventures of Figaro Pho — where, like this film, voices are replaced by guttural noises. But, even in comparison to Burton, this film is darker than most animated films, showing the off-handed way humans look at animals lives and the harsh realities of our food systems. It was short, but overall impactful and beautifully animated.
FRESH FROZEN A docu-short with a lot of potential with its messages about the detrimental effects of gentrification, the hard truth of opening and running a small business and the life of a recovering addict. But the story fell a bit flat and I was left with a sense that Teena and her restaurant deserved more from the filmmakers than they got. (Also, her fish sandwich looks fucking delicious.)
MY BAKERY BLOSSOM Based on the real-life tweets of a German Twitter user @Naum_Burger, this tragicomedy unsurprisingly feels true to life. It puts the viewer in the mind of a shy, low-confidence loner who has sweet and often comical fantasies of his life with a woman that works behind the counter of a local bakery. It feels a bit like if Amelie had been directed by Noah Baumbach. While the audience can’t help but feel hopeful for the protagonist, we also must keep reality in our minds.
My Bakery Blossom was sweet and sad and left me feeling a glimmer of hope.

THE CHOP Let’s get straight to the point: this is one of the funniest shorts I’ve ever seen, and the only one that received an ovation when it finished. The Chop offers some beautiful shots of meat being expertly chopped in a butcher shop. It follows a talented, happy-go-lucky kosher butcher who, through a series of events, loses his job. In order to find employment he goes to a halal butcher and from there we are given a slew of irreverent, cross-cultural hijinks. It truly had me cracking up at many points and shares a fun look at butchery, religion and recognizing one’s talents.
PASTRIES When a film starts off mysteriously, leaving out any real hint of what’s to come — especially a short film — we hope that it starts to reveal itself sooner rather than later. Pastries took too long to tell us what the hell was going on and by the time it did I already didn’t care for the main character and I didn’t care if he got his acting gig (which is the only thing we know from the start). I didn’t hate the film, but I didn’t love it. I did hate the characters, which may have been the point — in which case the actors did a superb job. One positive of the film is it has many wonderful shots, including the final few frames before the close.

SURE-FIRE For a film that was lumped into a foodie film series, there’s literally no food in this film (maybe a cup of diner coffee), but, that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it. The plot was funny, if not unoriginal and with a few holes. Our anti-hero needs to make some money, “or else,” and so he does it shadily in a series of ruses. The main actor — a bit of a knockoff of Jack Nicholson — holds interviews with possible screenwriters for one of his cons involving selling a script to a washed up film star he had a serendipitous run in with. The side characters pining to be his screenwriter brought in some comedy and the ending made me giggle. Overall, Sure-Fire is a fine, albiet slightly forgettable short.

SUPLEX CITY
Get in the ring with Indy’s own professional wrestlers BY JOEY SMITH // JSMITH@NUVO.NET
A
s a kid, I loved professional wrestling. It was the time of Big Sexy the Giant Killer, Goldburg and the Latino World Order, and it was great. I regularly had trampoline wrestling matches with my friends after school, mimicking the moves and phrases of our favorite wrestlers. I was a big kid, so I got to do all the lifting moves: power bombs, vertical suplexes, the Outsider’s Edge. What was bliss? Sitting in 7th period science class, planning my afterschool match and thinking about lifting my best friend Stephen above my head and throwing him as far as I could across the trampoline. I haven’t watched pro wrestling in years, although I won’t turn it off if it’s on TV. But I can still remember all the moves and all the names
of the wrestlers — and all of the drama. Fast forward 18 years and I’ve found myself at the Johnson County Fairgrounds, on assignment to shoot the Fourth of July-themed Indianapolis Championship Wrestling match hosted by the Indianapolis Christian Wrestling League (ICWL). (Yes, both of those are things in your city.) The show is in Scott Hall — funny to me, because Scott Hall is the name of one of my favorite wrestlers from the mid-’90s — and as I walk in, I’m greeted by a woman and her two sons with red, white and blue-painted mohawks. The hall is large and football fieldsized with a ring in the middle surrounded by rows of folding chairs. I’m looking for my contact, Thar, and find him with tag-team partner Hammer; both are over 50 and in better shape than me — and both hold titles. Thar is the
10 // THE BIG STORY // 07.19.17 - 07.26.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
current ICW Hardcore Champion, and Hammer is the ICWL heavyweight champ. I’m led backstage, where 30 wrestlers, planners, refs and spouses are working to prepare for the show. Two wrestlers are going through the motions of their upcoming match, planning each move and giving each other pointers on how to not get hurt when taking a suplex. A small group of planners sits in the corner pouring over the final details of the matches, marking out music and microphone cues. There’s even a table filled with brass knuckles, street signs, fluorescent light bulbs and crutches that would be eventually broken over the heads of wrestlers like Cousin Cooter and Buddha. … And, then, I get a close-up look at the championship belt, in all its glory. It’s almost
everything 13-year-old me could dream up. While I’m backstage, the Hall fills up for what would eventually be a three-hour event, including nine matches, two intermissions and approximately 384 body slams. During the intermissions, wrestlers come out to sign autographs for fans, and during the matches, fans hoot and holler, hurling insults at the heels, who throw them right back. Everyone in the building has a role to play. I could write 1,000 or so more words about the majesty of these matches, but the best way to meet the dudes of ICW is by watching them. And so if a pictures is worth 1,000 words, then a picture of a local wrestler doing one of the highest frog splashes I’ve ever seen has to be worth at least 1,000 words and a 3-count. N

ith the rapid growth of Indiana’s beer market it is allowing for some of our biggest and longest-lasting breweries to expand their distribution and target demographics to the surrounding area. While this doesn’t change the way we drink beer, it does feel good to know that Indiana beer is getting some regional love and recognition.
SUN KING BREWERY Sun King Brewery begins distributing their award-winning beer in Chicago and Louisville, in August as their first foray outside of Indiana’s borders. “For the past eight years, Sun King has been making great beer with the goal of becoming Indiana’s beer,” said Clay Robinson, co-owner of Sun King Brewery. “We haven’t sold our beer outside of the state due to constraints caused by our own capacity and restrictions that were in place because of antiquated state laws. Having worked to increase Indiana’s barrelage limitations and increase Sun King’s capacity to make more beer, we’re now in a position to not only meet the demands of Hoosiers throughout the state, but also to share our beer in other markets where craft beer enthusiasts want to enjoy it.” Sun King cites their recent $2 million expansion to its downtown Indianapolis brewing facility and continued investments in new brewing technology, processes and
equipment, as providing the ability to grow their market beyond Indiana. Sun King’s core trio of beers along with seasonal beers will be available in liquor stores, grocery stores, and on tap at local restaurants and bars throughout Chicago and Louisville. “We meet Sun King fans from all across the United States who either travel to our taproom or attend regional festivals and events in their cities for an opportunity to enjoy our SUN KING // beers,” said Dave Colt, co-owner and head brewer of Sun King. “We’re excited to not only be able to make it more convenient for them to purchase and enjoy our brews, but to also increase awareness of our tasty beers and continue to achieve smart, sustainable growth in the independent craft beer industry.” Over the past eight years, Sun King has grown into a leader in the independent craft brewing movement, particularly for partnering with hundreds of community organizations to help them raise awareness and funds for their particular civic outreach.
THREE FLOYDS BREWING CO. Michigan, like many other places, has been in a Three Floyds drought. Like Sun King, Three Floyds had reached capacity and had to restrict distribution beyond Indiana and Chicago markets. As of May, through a collaboration with Marshall, Michigan-based Dark Horse Brewery, the signature bite of Three Floyds has bonded with the signature burly

structure of Dark Horse for an impressive 11% ABV Black Barleywine named Oil of Gladness. It’s reported that this partnered brew is making its way throughout Michigan in taprooms and on shelves, with positive feedback from fans of both breweries. Twinning Dark Horse’s, “We’ve always been a little different, doing it the way we want since 1997” motto with Three Floyds’ “It’s Not Normal” intent since 1996, Oil of Gladness reportedly melds the style of the two breweries with discernible precision. Three Floyds’ upfront signature citrus-floral hop bite is followed by Dark Horse’s penchant for dense, malty layers of flavors. Both breweries are known for clean finishes, naturally leading toward the next sip — and we are forewarned to sip — taking time to enjoy the aroma, marvel at the darkness in the glass and savor every mouthfeel of Oil of Gladness.
UPLAND BREWING CO. Upland Brewing Co. launched their sour ale program in Nashville, the week of July 10 with Hopsynth, Iridescent and Revive — “refreshing beers to escape the southern heat,” reads the news release. This southward thrust comes after a year of Upland’s sour ales expansion along the East Coast, most recently to Portland, Maine in early June. Upland’s east coast sour shares started in 2016, initially in Boston and throughout Massachusetts, followed by Buffalo and the state of New York, and then to Washington, D.C. “We started our sour program [in 2006], trying to emulate the great Belgian Sours that we loved,” said Upland’s President, Doug Dayhoff, in the news release for the initial launch in Boston. “Upland has been concocting bold recipes with unexpected ingredients within the sour beer craft, leading to award-winning brews as well as a loyal following from the online lottery and Secret Barrel Society, a membership group serving as ambassadors for the program.” The outreach beyond Indiana came with Upland’s Wood Shop expansion in 2016.

BABYFACE GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING
Kenny Edmonds remembers his early Indy musical history BY KYLE LONG // MUSIC@NUVO.NET
A
ny respectable article about Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds needs to begin with a list of the man’s accomplishments — and it’s a list that is almost unfathomably monumental. Edmonds has racked up 11 Grammy awards, written and produced over 26 number one R&B hits, and collaborated with a diverse collection of modern history’s biggest stars. Seriously, we’re talking names like Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Bruno Mars and dozens of others. The deeper you dig into Edmonds’ achievements, the more impressive his story gets. Edmonds’ bio is filled with astounding moments, like winning three consecutive Grammy Awards for Producer of the Year from 1995 to 1997, or breaking records for the longest stay at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” and “I’ll Make Love to You” respectively. When describing his younger self, Edmonds paints a portrait of an Indianapolis kid that was humble and soft-spoken, two characteristics that seem to have stuck with him into adulthood. In conversation, Edmonds is modest when discussing his accomplishments, generous when praising his musical colleagues, and deadly serious when discussing his craft. And in case you’ve been isolated from society for the last few decades, Edmonds’ craft is songwriting and his specialty is the love ballad. In fact, you might even call Edmonds a master of the slow jam. Edmonds literally wrote the song on that subject. In 1983 Midnight Star turned Edmonds’ “Slow Jam” into a quiet storm staple on R&B radio playlists around the country. That song played a big role in catapulting Edmonds’ name outside of the

he’d graduated from North Central, Edmonds had formed more bands than most musicians do in a lifetime. And while most casual music fans know of Edmonds’ work with groups like Manchild, and The Deele, few are aware of his time with bands like Tarnished Silver and Gemini Eight. Babyface performed at Black Expo last Saturday, July 15 at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
KYLE: I interviewed Tony Black last year
Indianapolis scene and onto the national stage. For many journalists, this is where Edmonds’ story begins, but I’m far more interested in what came before. As many NUVO readers may already know, so much of my writing focuses on the importance Indianapolis musicians have had in shaping the sound of American popular music. I’ve posited many times before that from the dawn of the recording industry, up to the 1970s, Indianapolis musicians were constantly at the forefront in the urbanization of American music making. I view this 20th century cycle as being bookended by names like Leroy Carr, and Noble Sissle at the front, and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds near the end. With the incredible menagerie of jazz greats like David Baker and Wes Montgomery filling the middle ground. So I was absolutely psyched to have a chance to grill Edmonds’ extensively about his early years in Indianapolis. By the time
and he played me these unbelievable tapes he’d recorded in his basement of you, at probably 13, or 14-years-old, rehearsing some amazing original songs. One is called “Tanita”, one is titled “Love is Beautiful,” and there’s a more uptempo tune with a group vocal harmony called “Seen You Some Place Before.” I wonder if you have any memory of this recording, and if you remember which one of your many early groups this could have been? BABYFACE: “Seen You Some Place Before,” that’s David Officer. When I was in seventh, or eighth grade I was in a group with Emmanuel Officer, and Daryl Simmons. We were in a group together, and we started working with David Officer. David was Emmanuel’s cousin. We started doing these songs with him. “Seen You Some Place Before” is a little bit of a rip-off of “Superstition” in terms of the groove. “Tanita” is a song I wrote about a girl I had a crush on in ninth grade. So this was definitely ninth grade. I was fourteen-years-old probably. At that point David Officer had called the group Tarnished Silver. Later Daryl, and Emmanuel, and I took that name, and that became our group name throughout high school. But I had no idea that recording existed. I’d love to hear it.

KYLE: I have the recordings with me, let
KYLE: Who did Ken Webster play with?
me play one for you. I’m going to play you “Love is Beautiful,” which is a wonderful ballad with group harmonies. BABYFACE: [listens] Yeah… yeah… we still get together sometimes and sing that. That was definitely ninth grade.
BABYFACE: I don’t know that he played with anybody. He was just kind of this loner guitar player. His brother was supposed to be a really good musician too. But that’s how many different bands and musicians there were. I remember The Vanguards clearly, and that song “It’s Too Late For Love.” That was a song I remember the Soul Innovations used to play, and we would sing that song too. So music has been a big piece of Indianapolis. But I think it was necessary for me to leave to be able to grow, and find out what else was out there. Because of that I think I was able to grow as an artist and a musician. I wouldn’t be surprised by the talent that’s still there. There’s another version of myself in a young artist there. He might be quiet, he might not be that loud about it, but he has that feeling. All I would say to that person is that you have to have the drive. There’s not just one person that makes a call, and you’re gonna make it because of this one person. It’s because of so many people along the way, and the journey of learning from every situation that you’re in. That ultimately prepares you when the opportunity comes. There were times in my career where I’d written songs, and I tried to place songs in places, and I feel like I’ve had for more rejection than acceptance of things. You just have to keep going and try to learn. But it all starts from the beginning, and someone like Tony Black recording a 13 or 14-year-old kid who has written a song about a girl he’s crazy about. That song was coming from real life experience, and real heart. Because of that, the passion was real. Apparently Tony must have seen that, and felt that through the song. I think it’s an amazing thing that there are people like that who inspire you. They aren’t necessarily loud about it, but it’s the fact that they recognize you, or recognize a kid. They don’t necessarily hook you up with the person that gets you the record deal, but it’s their acceptance of you that pushes you along, and let’s you keep going. There are a lot of heroes like that, musical heroes I like to call them, people who inspire you along the way, or help any artist become the best they can be. N
KYLE: So this was the early roots of Tarnished Silver? BABYFACE: Yes, but we were called The Elements at that point. We went through so many different names.
KYLE: Was “Love is Beautiful” your song, or did Officer write that? BABYFACE: That was one of my songs that I wrote.
KYLE: Some of these names may not be as familiar to the public as yours is, but there were certainly many great geniuses playing here, and some of them are still at work in the city. So it’s great that you shared all this today, I really appreciate it. BABYFACE: Well, I’m pleasantly surprised by your knowledge of it all. It’s nice that you’re writing about it. As you say, there are so many musicians there, and we inspire each other. Sometimes the inspiration comes from just even being competitive. We were competing against each other most of the time, it was about who had the better band. I remember — and sorry I keep going through all these stories — but I remember this one kid named Ken Webster. I think his father was part of a big band, and he was a really good, almost Hendrix-like guitar player. He used to come up to me and say, “Come over to my house. I want to challenge you. I’m going to kick your ass.” And he scared me, because I knew that he could. (laughs) But I wanted to learn how to do what he could do. That’s what it was like, it was almost kind of a sport. You’d have respect for each other, but you were also like, “You better come to play.” So without being jazz musicians, we certainly had the jazz musician mentality many times. It was about kicking ass and taking names.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Greek word philokalia is translated as the “love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent.” I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks — the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go. But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result? TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s a favorable time to strengthen your fundamentals and stabilize your foundation. I invite you to devote your finest intelligence and grittiest determination to this project. How? Draw deeply from your roots. Tap into the mother lode of inspiration that never fails you. Nurture the web of life that nurtures you. The cosmos will offer you lots of help and inspiration whenever you attend to these practical and sacred matters. Best-case scenario: You will bolster your personal power for many months to come. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two talking porcupines are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden. It’s a prickly experience, but that’s how they like it. “I always get horny when things get thorny,” says one. Meanwhile, in the rose garden next door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, “This is the sharpest pleasure I’ve ever known.” Now here’s the moral of these far-out fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles? Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explore the edgy frontiers of gusto? CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that four weeks from now you will be enjoying a modest but hearty feeling of accomplishment — on one condition: You must not get diverted by the temptation to achieve trivial successes. In other words, I hope you focus on one or two big projects, not lots of small ones. What do I mean by “big projects”? How about these: taming your fears; delivering a delicate message that frees you from an onerous burden; clarifying your relationship with work; and improving your ability to have the money you need. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spain’s most revered mystic poet was St. John of the Cross, who lived from 1542 to 1591. He went through a hard time at age 35, when he was kidnapped by a rival religious sect and imprisoned in a cramped cell. Now and then he was provided with scraps of bread and dried fish, but he almost starved to death. After ten months, he managed to escape and make his way to a convent that gave him sanctuary. For his first meal, the nuns served him warm pears with cinnamon. I reckon that you’ll soon be celebrating your own version of a jailbreak, Leo. It’ll be less drastic and more metaphorical than St. John’s, but still a notable accomplishment. To celebrate, I invite you to enjoy a ritual meal of warm pears with cinnamon. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define,” says Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. I’d love for you to adopt that attitude, Virgo. You’re entering the Season of Generous Mystery. It will be a time when you can generate good fortune for yourself by being eager to get your expectations overturned and your mind blown. Transformative opportunities will coalesce as you simmer in the influence of enigmas and anomalies. Meditate on the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’ve compiled a list of four mantras for you to draw strength from. They’re designed to put you in the proper alignment to take maximum advantage of current cosmic rhythms. For the next three weeks, say them periodically throughout the day. 1. “I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I’m supposed to give.” 2. “If I can’t do things with excellence and integrity, I won’t do them at all.” 3. “I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else’s passions.” 4. “My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The world will never fully know or appreciate the nature of your heroic journey. Even the people who love you the most will only ever understand a portion of your epic quest to become your best self. That’s why it’s important for you to be generous in giving yourself credit for all you have accomplished up until now and will accomplish in the future. Take time to marvel at the majesty and miracle of the life you have created for yourself. Celebrate the struggles you’ve weathered and the liberations you’ve initiated. Shout “Glory hallelujah!” as you acknowledge your persistence and resourcefulness. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to do this tricky but fun work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you may have drug-like effects on people in the coming weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms, and Ecstasy — or sometimes all three simultaneously. What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds? Here’s one possibility: Get people excited about what you’re excited about, and call on them to help you bring your dreams to a higher stage of development. Here’s another: Round up the support you need to transform any status quo that’s boring or unproductive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” So said psychologist Carl Jung. What the hell did that meddling, self-important know-it-all mean by that? Oops. Sorry to sound annoyed. My cranky reaction may mean I’m defensive about the possibility that I’m sometimes a bit preachy myself. Maybe I don’t like an authority figure wagging his finger in my face because I’m suspicious of my own tendency to do that. Hmmm. Should I therefore refrain from giving you the advice I’d planned to? I guess not. Listen carefully, Capricorn: Monitor the people and situations that irritate you. They’ll serve as mirrors. They’ll show you unripe aspects of yourself that may need adjustment or healing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A source of tough and tender inspiration seems to be losing some of its signature potency. It has served you well. It has given you many gifts, some difficult and some full of grace. But now I think you will benefit from transforming your relationship with its influence. As you might imagine, this pivotal moment will be best navigated with a clean, fresh, open attitude. That’s why you’ll be wise to thoroughly wash your own brain — not begrudgingly, but with gleeful determination. For even better results, wash your heart, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A “power animal” is a creature selected as a symbolic ally by a person who hopes to imitate or resonate with its strengths. The salmon or hare might be a good choice if you’re seeking to stimulate your fertility, for example. If you aspire to cultivate elegant wildness, you might choose an eagle or horse. For your use in the coming months, I propose a variation on this theme: the “power fruit.” From now until at least May 2018, your power fruit should be the ripe strawberry. Why? Because this will be a time when you’ll be naturally sweet, not artificially so; when you will be juicy, but not dripping all over everything; when you will be compact and concentrated, not bloated and bursting at the seams; and when you should be plucked by hand, never mechanically.
