University City residents are told to limit their water use after the Philadelphia Water Department reports the appearance of rusty water. “Yes, please drink only a little rusty turd water today.”

t’s been well over a decade since Jose, 36, of North Philly, last tangled with the law. In 1997, he was convicted of possessing narcotics with intent to distribute and served a year in prison. Now, unemployed for the last four months, he is focused on the struggle to find a new job and support a wife and two kids attending Catholic school. So, Jose was puzzled this summer when phone calls began rolling in from a bill collector, telling him he owed more than $6,000 in fines dating back to that 1997 incident. It was the first he’s heard of it, he says. “They said, ‘If you don’t pay, we can arrest you and you have to pay $6.75 a day for your arrest until you pay this fine,’” Jose says. Jose, it turns out, is one of an estimated 400,000 people who have been or could soon be targeted by an aggressive campaign by the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania — the Philadelphia Courts — to collect decades-old criminal debt, an estimated $1.5 billion in forfeited bail, fees, fines and restitution dating back to 1971. With Mayor Michael Nutter’s energetic blessing, the court contracted collection agencies to take in the debt. And the court appears to be making preparations to jail people for nonpayment. To Jose, it feels like being dragged back into a world he long since put behind him. “There should be a statute of limitations,”

he says. “After you stay away from crime for so long and they bring up stuff that happened so many years ago — it’s like they’re opening the case again.” Worse, critics point out that such cases are drawing on records kept by the Clerk of Quarter Sessions, the row office that managed court administration until it was abolished in 2010 — precisely because it was notorious for horrendous record-keeping. Now, they say, the court is pursuing a policy of collect first, ask questions later. “The courts’ poor record-keeping of the last several decades is well known,” says Rebecca Vallas, a Community Legal Services of Philadelphia (CLS) attorney who represents some alleged debtors and is asking the city to reform collections efforts. She says the burden of proof should be on the court. “They should not be pressuring people to pay without first making sure that the debts are accurate.” Take Brendan, who asked to use a pseudonym (others asked that only their first names be used, some for fear of complicating their dealings with the court, others to avoid publicizing their convictions). The court says Brendan has failed to pay any of a $1,189.91 debt stemming from a 2005 intoxicated-driving conviction. But Brendan is lucky and exceptionally well organized: He showed City Paper a Western Union money-order receipt from March 9, 2006, cashed by the First Judicial District. Though Brendan has a record of his payment, the court does not. Brendan wants to seek a pardon to clean up his record — something he cannot do with outstanding debt to his name.

The court’s records are horrendous.

✚ MEAL PLANS

“And once people stop [serving meals], to get them restarted it’s a whole other issue.” —Samantha Melamed

For Philly’s hungry, the Ben Franklin Parkway will remain, for now, one of the city’s premier dining destinations, thanks to an interim agreement between the city and groups that had sued over Mayor Nutter’s ban on serving meals to the homeless outdoors. The bad news: The dinner rush only seems to be growing. The King’s Jubilee, which serves meals Thursday nights, scrambled to meet a 30-percent increase in demand at the start of August, says director Cranford Coulter. After the initial “shock,” he’s been able to feed everyone. “We added more rice to the soup,” he says. But another group he works with, The Word in Action, had to cut down from two meal sites to one “because they run out of food.” Brian Jenkins of Chosen 300 Ministries says crowds at his outdoor meals are also swelling. His indoor dining room has also recently gone “way beyond capacity,” to up to 360 people a night. The need doesn’t stop at the Parkway: Philabundance saw a 22.5 percent bump in calls to its Food Help Line from July to August. Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission is also seeing larger meal crowds. Part of the problem, Coulter says, is the state’s elimination of General Assistance payments to people with addictions and disabilities, among others. Another aggravating factor, says Jenkins, was the state’s 10-percent cut to human-services budgets. People, he says, are running out of money — and some are selling their food stamps so they can pay their rent. One harbinger of desperation: The disappearance of the monthly ebb in demand early in the month, when people get their benefit checks. Recently, says Jenkins, demand has stayed high all month long. That demand has been met by a dwindling number of groups serving outdoor meals, due to the conflict

THE LONG CON

✚ PARKS AND WRECK There has been much ado in Pennsylvania recently over a bill in the General Assembly, characterized by supporters as a mild-mannered attempt to make it easier for municipalities to sell unused land — and by opponents as a gutting of the rights of citizens to protect their parks.At the crux of the issue is the elimination of a requirement that the sale of public land be first approved by an Orphan’s Court. The bill in question, HB 2224, allows municipalities to bypass the court if land was purchased (not donated) and is unencumbered by deed restrictions or convenants. The bill passed the state House last May with unanimity. So low was its profile that the groups now opposing it — a gaggle of parks groups, conservationists and hunting clubs — missed the affair entirely. “What happened was no one who was looking out for the parks’ interest or conservation was consulted anywhere,” says Andrew Loza, executive director of the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association. Loza argues that many city parks don’t meet the narrow criteria of protection under HB 2224, based on how they were acquired. “I submit to you that people don’t care about the deep history of their parks, whether they were acquired by purchase or condemnation — they care about whether they’re enjoying and using them. And that’s what the law, until now, recognized.” The backlash appears to have caught some House members by surprise. State Rep. Kate Harper (R-Montgomery) says she was assured by the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Bryan Cutler, that the bill >>> continued on page 12

game,” in which a dealer allows a naïve passerby to bet money that he or she can guess which one of three shells hides a pea. The game is based on mere sleight of hand. But the illusion of an “honest” game is maintained by the seeming success or failure of other “players” who are, in fact, shills — actors in on the con. This week, notorious Kensington slumlord Bob Coyle acknowledged having committed a kind of shell game of his own, pleading guilty in federal court to two charges of loan fraud stemming from several multi-million-dollar bank loans Coyle took out on hundreds of properties. According to his guilty plea, those loans were based in part on fraudulent information — including Coyle’s failure to disclose to banks that he’d been making (apparently disingenuous) rent-to-own agreements with many of his tenants and that many of his properties were virtually worthless. His plea was good news for a number of community organizations and legal advocates who’ve waited for years to see some measure of justice served to a man who blighted their neighborhoods and lied to the (mostly poor, mostly immigrant) tenants whose cases they helped with. But if it’s a silver lining, it’s to a darker cloud that still hasn’t lifted. While Coyle’s missteps and malfeasances have been closely chronicled in the press, the errors in judgment by the banks who loaned Coyle all those millions — if errors they were — seem to have been quietly ignored. They shouldn’t be: As chronicled by this writer some years ago, Coyle’s fortune was built on increasingly absurd loans by various local banks — absurd because basic due diligence in examining Coyle’s properties should have set off alarms. But the banks (like financial institutions around the country at that time) may have had their own interest in not looking too deeply into what, exactly, was backing up those enormous mortgages. That much was alleged by Coyle in response to a separate civil lawsuit filed against him by Republic Bank. Coyle will now have to pay restitution to the tenants he lied to — and also to the banks, which in many cases have become the owners of the rotting inventory Coyle purchased with money they so freely lent to him. But were these banks the hapless victims of Coyle’s shell game, or were they the shills — making sure someone, somewhere, saw a pile of money instead of a heaping mess? ✚ Step right up: Man Overboard! is taking bets at

✚ Resurrect Debt

[ the naked city ]

<<< continued from page 6

Part of the problem, says Vallas, is the court lacks paper records for many of the debts recorded in its computer system. A line of people waiting outside court room 1104 at the Criminal Justice Center at 13th and Filbert streets last week echo that complaint: Years or decades later, the court is demanding that former defendants pay money they say they do not owe. And they usually have no legal counsel to aid them. “They say I owe $8,000 starting in 1989,” says Chris, 40, who has been in and out of trouble his whole life. He says that he already paid, but doesn’t know if he can prove it. “It’s on me to say that I paid … in 1989. I’ve got the burden of proof.” The fees in question are accrued throughout the judicial process, notes Robert, 26, from West Philadelphia. “Crime-lab fees. Booking fees,” he says. “Why the fuck do I have to pay for you booking me? Like I asked to get locked up.” He was convicted of possession with intent to distribute, and says he was erroneously charged $105 in late fees — for a payment due while he was behind bars. The court first contracted Xerox to run collection efforts, for a fee as large as 25 percent of the debt, paid by the debtor. The contract with Xerox ended on Monday, and the court has now retained GC Services Limited Partnership and Harris & Harris, Ltd. Robert and others say the reason is transparent: Philadelphia, like many governments in fiscal crisis, is looking to poor criminal defendants to make up the shortfall — what critics describe as a regressive backdoor tax. Nationwide, an estimated 80 percent to 90 percent of criminal defendants are poor. John, 30, from Tacony, says he was recently informed, for the first time, that he owes $5,257.35 in forfeited bail for a case he beat in 2004. “The city’s broke,” he says. “They need the money. That’s all this is.” And this may be merely the prelude to something much harsher: The court appears to be preparing to unveil contempt hearings that could jail debtors for nonpayment. “Many people have been told by the debt collectors that they can ‘push a button and send you to jail,’” says Vallas. “Now, the courts want to actually make good on that threat. Do we really want imprisonment to be a tool for debt collection in Philadelphia?” Letters from the First Judicial District instruct recipients that if they “owe fees, fines and costs and have the financial ability to pay, a contempt hearing or violation of probation hearing (if appropriate) could be scheduled by the Court.” Last week, the court schedule listed numerous “Payment Plan Criminal Contempt Hearings” — hearings that the courts now deny ever took place. Dominic Rossi, a deputy court administrator overseeing collections, refused to answer questions submitted by email, providing a prepared statement and adding only that the courts “do not currently have a Payment Plan Contempt Hearing process.” When asked if the courts would

answer specific questions as to the court’s preparations to launch contempt hearings, CP was instructed to file a Right to Know request. Contempt for failure to pay fines and costs could carry a sentence of nearly six months. “The whole idea of threatening to put people in jail for failing to pay $35 (or less) per month is medieval,” says Pennsylvania ACLU senior staff attorney Mary Catharine Roper, pointing out the significantly larger cost of locking up debtors. “In the meantime, the city’s jails are bursting at the seams, and already the subject of federal lawsuits for overcrowding. What part of this makes financial sense?” It is unclear whether the court is tracking how much current collection efforts cost. Civil-rights advocates are

“The whole idea is medieval.” fighting back against the collections. CLS argues that, to recoup forfeited bail, state law requires the court to prove that defendants who failed to appear in court did so both purposefully and in a manner that “prejudiced,” or a had a negative impact on, proceedings. Furthermore, public defender Bradley Bridge says that the city will have to provide legal counsel to anyone charged with contempt, at a potentially high cost to the courts. “They’re going to have to appoint lawyers for indigents, and the vast majority of these people are indigents,” says Bridge. “I’m not sure it financially makes sense to appoint lawyers to try to get money from people who don’t have any money. People have, by and large, not paid their fines and costs because they don’t have any money.” CLS is also asking the courts to limit collections efforts to debts not older than five years, citing the disordered records.

“The city is working to collection millions of dollars of legacy bail judgments.” court’s statement, however, emphasized that they are collecting the money on the city’s behalf. And it is up to the city, says Rossi, to let go of old debts. “The city is working with the First Judicial District to collect millions of dollars of legacy bail judgments,” said mayoral spokesman Mark McDonald in a statement. “And the First Judicial District is employing the appropriate tools under the law to achieve that goal.” However, the collections effort appears to have been developed not as carefully considered public policy but as a response to the Inquirer’s 2009 investigation, “Justice: Delayed, Dismissed, Denied.” The series portrayed a dysfunctional court system that not only failed to collect debt but let criminals off the hook. State Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald Castille, who declined to speak to CP, and Justice Seamus McCaffery created a “blue ribbon” panel in response. The crackdown also included the creation of a Bench Warrant Court that jails people who fail to appear in court, a measure credited with contributing to the recent overcrowding crisis in city jails. In February 2011, the First Judicial District announced it would aggres-

sively pursue the estimated 400,000-plus Philadelphians with criminal debts. The collections effort, according to the court statement, aims to renew public respect for the court after decades of scofflaw behavior. But, given the court’s shoddy record-keeping, that may not be a realistic outcome. “It seems to me that, if not rushed,” says Bridge, the effort “is ill-considered.” The city, says Jose, is trying to make him pay for errors that occurred because the “city hired workers that didn’t do their jobs.” If he had known about the debts 15 years ago, he says, he would have long since paid them off. Jose was initially put on a $40-a-month payment plan he could not afford, which CLS later got reduced to $10. Jose will be paying off that debt to society, for a nonviolent drug crime he committed at age 18, in monthly installments until he is 89 years old. (daniel.denvir@citypaper.net)

was harmless. “I now believe the bill may be written wrong,” Harper says. Cutler, for his part, says the bill’s intent wasn’t to undermine protections for parks, and he has worked with the state Senate to make amendments. But those changes aren’t enough, say conservationists like the Philadelphia Parks Alliance, which issued a statement that the bill “still puts acres of Pennsylvania’s parks, open spaces, trails and other public lands at risk.”The bill hadn’t passed as of press time, but faced a possible vote on Wednesday. —Isaiah Thompson

Whether you took a shot every time Obama uttered “let me be clear” or Romney touted “job creators,” presidential debates are one of the few moments in national politics that inspire drinking for not purely depressive reasons. Sadly, Pennsylvania’s candidates for U.S. Senate and state Attorney General have yet to debate. It turns out that substantive discussion, much like third parties and independents, has little place in our state’s democracy. The race for Attorney General, a traditional launching pad for governors, has so far been defined by ads and the money behind them. Democrat Kathleen Kane, who has been polling ahead of Republican David Freed, was the target of a Republican State Leadership Committee ad that pictured a little girl being abducted and suggested Kane was “soft” on rape as a Lackawanna County assistant district attorney. It turned out Kane had little to do with the case in question. The victim’s father called the ads a “lie.” Freed campaign manager Tim Kelly says a debate is set for Oct. 22 — just two weeks before the election. Meanwhile, it appears Democratic Sen. Bob Casey will suddenly have to actually campaign for re-election against Republican Tom Smith, a mining magnate to whom no one paid any attention until polls last week showed him 10 points or less behind. Casey campaign manager Larry Smar tells CP he “assume[s] something will be scheduled, but nothing is on the books.” Once again: So far, what passes for a campaign has consisted of Casey ads reminding voters that Smith likes the Tea Party. Smith’s ads say Bob Casey has gotten nothing done because he is a politician, unlike all the stuff Smith will get done because he is a businessman. So why no debates? “I would think there would be debates scheduled all over the state,” says Franklin & Marshall political scientist Terry Madonna. “This tells me that none of these candidates want one.” —Daniel Denvir

The sweet smell of plastic is overwhelming upon entering the Pennsylvania Convention Center, as is the loud whine of a hundred-odd air pumps. In Hall A, a 27-foot polar bear looms over a vast, colorful landscape of giant mushrooms, pirate

ships and flying saucers. This,

friends, is the American Inflatable Road Show, which stopped in Philly last week: the largest trade convention of bouncy castles in the world. But don’t call them bouncy castles here. “The end user might call them bouncy castles or moonbounces, but the industry calls them inflatables,” explains N-Flatables vendor Brian Field. The terminology of “end users” depends: “It’s definitely a regional thing,” says Kari Luther, who’s there with partner Jim Cox Jr. to pick up some new merchandise for their Maryland rental business. “Down South, they sometimes call them moonwalks or jumpers. Bounce house is more Kentucky/Kansas.” Technological advances have made for bigger, more complicated inflatables. “You look at that stagecoach or that princess palace — just a few years ago,

But even paradise has its limits. it was just all four-post castles,” says Field. “Huge changes.” According to Field, the biggest problem for manufacturers is Chinese knockoffs. They may look good on the outside, but shoddy internal baffle systems can result in “a blowout,” he says.

“It’s dangerous.” Sylvia Hurley brought her two children as scouts. Aidan, 7, and Emma, 4, are among a couple dozen kids ecstatically dashing between the display models. The amount of time Aidan’s spent joyously bowling over his sister with a large foam sphere suggests the Wrecking Ball will be a winner, Hurley says, before dashing after Emma, who is eager to check out another corner of paradise. But even paradise has its limits. On our way out, we squeeze by a few kids, just yards from the doors of Hall A, playing walk up the down escalator. —Emily Guendelsberger

³ KNOW HOW YOU know someone is good, I mean, really good? When they’re the first one you call when you’re in need. I need a duck dish, I call David Katz. I need peak lapels, I call Commonwealth Proper. You get the picture. “When a major artist comes to the club and I need a bassist, Lee Smith is my first and only call,” says Alan McMahon from Chris’ Jazz Café. Smith made his mark as a first-call bassist for decades, jamming with jazz-cats like Sonny Fortune, Chris Potter and Kurt Rosenwinkel.This weekend, Smith’s finally dropping his first album as a leader, with an Oct. 5 gig at Chris’ to celebrate. He’s a must-see. (And Shaun Brady’s interview with him is a must-read. See p. 20.) ³ Right before Philly’s downtown restaurant renaissance of the ’90s, our neighbors in Chestnut Hill started their own quiet foodie revolution. Leading the charge was Jan Wilson, an area native who owned a gals’ clothing boutique in the area (Strawflowers) before moving to Center City and making babies (and booking Hot Club and Ripley’s) with David Carroll.Then she returned to Chestnut Hill to open Cafette (8136 Ardleigh St.). Wilson was doing farm-to-table vegan fare before there was a catchphrase for it and powerhouse fried chicken when Michael Solomonov was a tot. Wilson is celebrating her achievements, cuisine and Cafette’s 20th anniversary with deals all October long. Now where’s that cookbook, Jan? ³ Maybe Brian Dwyer and his Frankford Avenue dough salon Pizza Brain have received an inordinate amount of press and praise since opening, but how could we stop the (cheese) ball from rolling when October is National Pizza Month? Check out their Philly Pizzalebrity Wall of Fame mural, created by local illustrator Hawk Krall, on First Friday, Oct. 5. (Lots more on the mural on p. 47.) “We’ll be attempting to make a pizza that day based on one of Little Baby’s ice cream flavors and they’ll be attempting to make an ice cream based off one of our pizzas.” Attempt is the optimal word here. The Peanut ChewsVW bus will be there, too, giving out candy. Hopefully, the Tums truck is around the corner. ³ Hey needy money-grubbing art fucks: the Knight Arts Challenge is back for its third year and they’ve got $9 million+ to spend on your goofy, I mean, noble, enterprise. Don’t tell ’em you want to buy a cool handmade sock monkey you saw on Etsy. Make up an arrrtsy idea, submit it at knightarts.org by Oct. 15 and watch the cash roll in. ³ Local filmmaker, model and wheatpaste god (We Do It Inc. is his company) Jere Edmunds is dropping new episodes of 5 on the Go,his area newsy/artsy show, through PhillyCAM this week. Tune in on Comcast (66 and 966) and Verizon Fios (29 and 30). ³ Icepack gets illustrated at citypaper.net/icepack. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

BASS CLEF: Artist and violinist Alex Paik makes colorful art influenced by music at Gallery Joe.

firstfridayfocus By Holly Otterbein

³ GALLERY JOE Writing about music, or so the saying goes, is like dancing about architecture. Writing about art is equally challenging — often maddening, in fact. So making visual art about music is probably difficult, to say the least. But Alex Paik makes it look easy in Gallery Joe’s exhibit “Recapitulation Bop.” The New York-based artist’s abstract paper constructions — influenced by jazz, classical and other musical genres — are delicate and childlike. They burst with FruitLoop-like colors. They look like unfolded origami fortune-tellers or off-kilter paper snowflakes. Paik, who is a trained classical violinist, says that he didn’t set out to create artwork influenced by music. “It’s more of a natural outpouring of who I am as an artist,” he says. “I’m very interested in call and response.” The most pleasing quality of Paik’s work is its symmetrical designs, which clearly have their roots in his musical past. Watercolor artist Nicole Phungrasamee Fein, who is also a master of colorful, geometrical pieces, will be joining Paik at Gallery Joe. In other news, Paik, a founding member of the Philadelphia gallery Tiger Strikes Asteroid, is working to open a second gallery of that name in New York City. He doesn’t have an opening date yet, but says that gallery members will curate the exhibits, just like they do in the original TSA.

The point, he says, is to have many different points of view on display throughout the year, even if they’re not perfect. “I hope we have shows that I personally hate,” he says, “rather than have watered-down shows that appeal to everyone.” Through Nov. 10, opening Fri., Oct. 5, 6 p.m., 302 Arch St., 215592-7752, galleryjoe.com.

³ VEN AND VAIDA Amie Potsic’s relationship with China is complicated. A director at Philadelphia’s Center for Emerging Artists, Potsic is critical of the Chinese government’s human rights abuses. Her photographs of pink, red and yellow trees in “Made in China,” which are captioned by Chinese calligraphy, detail her outrage. “The text on each piece relates to current political issues in China, such as human rights violations, censorship and a lack of reproductive and religious freedom.” At the same time, Potsic deeply admires traditional Chinese artwork. Her prints, which mimic the aesthetic of Chinese scroll paintings, reflect this strain. In a world where the complex truth is often boiled down to meaningless sound bites, that’s refreshing. As Potsic puts it, her artwork “shows the tension between China’s past and present, its progress and traditionalism, and its beauty and underbelly.” Through Oct. 28, opening Fri., Oct. 5, 6 p.m., 18 S. Third St., 215-592-4099, venandvaida.com.

[ fetishizing the compromised fidelity ] ³ dvd

Let’s get the local interest out of the way: Cathie Ryan’s Through Wind and Rain (Mo Leanbh) was partially recorded, mixed and mastered at Philadelphia Post, where the big guy John Anthony added percussion. Mike Brenner also shared various slide guitars, Séamus Egan more strings and whistle, and Chico Huff bass. Proud as we are, these guys are just the part of the platinum setting, subtle but shiny, for the jewel of Ryan’s singing. Old-style Irish or contemporary, her tone digs deep into your psyche. She plays the Tin Angel on Wednesday, Oct. 10. —Mary Armstrong

They say movies are made twice: once in the shooting and again in the editing room. Nowadays, they’re often made (or unmade) in the transfer to home video as well. When it came time to preserve The French Connection,William Friedkin took the liberty of digitally tweaking the film’s color timing, resulting in a desaturated, grainy look that was widely derided and finally corrected with Fox’s new “Signature Series” Bluray. With its rich, rusted colors, it’s a vivid and gorgeous thing, looking at last as the film always has and should. If you’ve still got a copy of the old disc, it makes an excellent coaster. —Sam Adams

³ jazz Trombonist Jacob Garchik subtitles his third album, The Heavens,“The Atheist Gospel Trombone Album.” That’s not quite as contradictory as it sounds, as Garchik offers plenty for even nonbelievers to marvel at. Most miraculous is the trombone choir, all multi-tracked by Garchik himself — he’s been flexing his arranging skills for the Kronos Quartet for several years and conjures an exuberant Hallelujah chorus of brass. —Shaun Brady

ETHIOPIA! Beer, cheatin’ women, pickup trucks and honky-tonks. ³ THERE ARE THREE things you need to watch

It’s taken an almost unheard-of interval — 41 years — for British songwriter Bill Fay to follow up his two cult-beloved LPs with a third, his first album of new material since 1971. Life Is People (Dead Oceans) would be a wondrous thing under any circumstances: a collection of poignant, humbly heartfelt ruminations on existence, mortality and self-acceptance, imbued with the patient wisdom of a lifetime and an uncommon sense of compassion. These songs, delivered with sturdy, gospelhued folk-rock directness (and one Jeff Tweedy cameo), are as necessary as it gets. —K. Ross Hoffman

out for when purchasing world music: (1) CD titles containing puns. (2) The phrase “rooted in tradition and soaked with attitude” appearing on the cover. (3) Creepy strangers hanging around the Norwegian Fiddle Music bin (as they will definitely try to touch your ass). While Ethiopia Super Krar (Riverboat) is a nearly unforgivable pun (at least they didn’t title it “Here in My Krar,” “Radkrar Love” or “Bitchin’ Krarmaro”), and the cover clearly sports the dreaded words “rooted in tradition and soaked with attitude,” the Krar Collective has overcome its terrible packaging to craft an album that’s actually worth risking being felt up by a Norwegian fiddle-music enthusiast to obtain. You’re probably not going to believe this, but by using a krar — a type of lyre, more or less — the collective have managed to create a sound that is not unlike rockabilly. Seriously. It’s simple, driving, pounding music accented with whoops and foot stomps. While no translation of the lyrics is provided, it wouldn’t be surprising to learn that the songs are about beer, cheatin’ women, pickup trucks and honky-tonks (minus the honky, of course). In short, this CD rocks harder than Gene Vincent fighting a bear in a bar over a woman he met at a tractor pull.

V/H/S

Manages to mine some scares.

Verdict: If Elvis had had access to a krar instead of a guitar he could’ve changed the face of Western music. Also, it’s unlikely that he would’ve been found dead on the toilet, rooted in tradition and soaked with attitude. (r_anonymous@citypaper.net)

[ B- ] THE GROUP OF filmmakers behind the found-footage anthology film V/H/S are all roughly of an age to have forged their horror fandom in the waning days of that titular, little-lamented, plastic-sheathed format. The six tales that comprise the film all fetishize the compromised fidelity, washed-out colors and technical glitches that plagued VHS, if not technically staying true to the title. Results vary. The thin stories of nearly all the entries fail to justify the two-hour running time, but some of the directors manage to mine some scares. Adam Wingard is responsible for the framing story, which fails to adequately follow up on its promise of camera-wielding punks being punished for their jackassery, instead mainly serving to get them into a house stocked with a cache of videotapes and a corpse. Those, naturally, contain the snuffish pieces that make up the rest of the film, even if their presence in the house (or on tape in the first place) remains unexplained. The first entry, David Bruckner’s “Amateur Night,” is a first-person account of a drunken night out gone wrong, allegedly filmed via eyeglass spycamera. It quickly becomes as obnoxious as its frat-boy characters, though Hannah Fierman’s direct-to-camera glare and uncanny movements score a few chills. Ti West suffers most from the abbreviated length, just beginning to conjure a degree of suspense when the disappointing punchline arrives. And “10/31/98,” by the collective Radio Silence, begins with a fun Halloween night “haunted house that really is” premise, but trails off into an unsatisfying conclusion. Joe Swanberg’s Skype-framed “The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger” is the most unsettling, suggesting dark forces moving in the background of a long-distance relationship. And Glenn McQuaid most fully embraces the format’s flaws in “Tuesday the 17th,” a slasher spoof with camping teens being stalked by a living, stabbing tape glitch. —Shaun Brady

Curator Mark Rosenthal says it’s been quite the journey. Artists have “enlivened the concept of home by elevating conventional objects beyond their domestic use,” he says in a statement, while others are “exploring an unlimited range of materials and possibilities.” Don’t miss works by the new artists-in-residence Nari Ward and Mika Tajima, exploring complex issues like Pennsylvania’s industries and Miranda rights.

video installation at Practice Gallery, a sign-language debate being simultaneously interpreted gets confusing as Sham starts ziptying arms together. The title comes from the New Testament’s First Letter of Peter, written to early, far-from-home Christian missionaries. After “Beloved, I beseech you as,” the recipients are, in various translations of the Bible, referred to as strangers, exiles, pilgrims, sojourners, foreigners and aliens. Sham takes that last one literally for the second video, Beacon, in which clergy members of various faiths try to explain their religion as if to an extraterrestrial race.

Discussing musical torment with Skeletor, Overlord of Evil. By Emily Guendelsberger

E

classifieds | food | the agenda

very month or so, the Trocadero hosts a karaoke night with a strange, glorious gimmick. The host is Skeletor — as in would-be evil overlord of the universe frequently thwarted by He-Man — portrayed by actor and improvisational genius Carmen Martella III in full fluorescent-skull-head, purpleunderpants glory. The Overlord of Karaoke rules with an iron fist, hitting a gong with his ram-skull staff to indicate that a singer has tried his patience long enough — sometimes, cruelly, after only a couple of seconds. Skeletor also torments the audience with his own evil versions of Phil Collins and Enrique Iglesias songs featuring lyrics such as, “I will take / your breath away / (with my magic powers) / (and you’ll die).� Skeletor’s five-year anniversary show is this Friday, and sufficient groveling earned us an interview with the plague of Castle Grayskull himself.

S: Pick something absolutely cheesy, something you’d hear at the dentist’s office as you’re getting drilled — John Denver, Barry Manilow, you name it. The audience must be covered in hot, molten cheese. The slime pit has run dry, we have a molten cheese pit now. CP: Could you talk about some of your own songs?

that has ever lived. Actually, I wouldn’t say he’s evil — he just lurks in the back of your mind, and when you least expect it, he’s there, waiting for you. And he does have an invisible touch.

S: Oh, there’s no hard feelings. All is fair in art and war. CP: You also do one by Prince, right? S: “Purple Chainâ€?! Rather, I recommended that he call it “Purple Chain,â€? but Prince went and made it about rain. How many songs do we already have about rain — “Red Rain,â€? “Purple Rainâ€? ‌ Phil Collins does “I Wish You Would Rain Down,â€? but he doesn’t talk about colors.

S: No! My goodness, no! ‌ Adele, that’s it! But we can’t sing any Adele, she’s the new Billy Joel. I think the audience should know that by now. CP: What are your feelings on American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman? S: Oh, Christian Bale, the little boy from Empire of the Sun who became Bateman and then Batman! I’m spot-on with Bateman’s love of Phil Collins. But he doesn’t like Huey Lewis and the News. Or, rather, he likes Huey Lewis and the News, but he denies Huey Lewis and the News by the third cock’s crow! It’s like that thing in the Bible! That has to be one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema, when Willem Dafoe asks Christian Bale if he likes Huey Lewis and the News.

You’ve got to keep your audience. Alive. For most of the show.

CP: How are you feeling about the upcoming election? S: (Scornfully.) Oh, I don’t get involved with Earth politics, come on! I’m the ruler of the universe, I don’t care who’s in charge here! CP: Are there any things you particularly don’t miss about living in Eternia? S: That would have to be ‌ Orko. CP: We thought you would say that. S: (Disgusted.) Of course it’s Orko. He’s so inept he should have

been one of my minions; you’d have no idea if he was a double agent. I, Skeletor, will claim Orko! (emilyg@citypaper.net) ✚Karaoke Gung Show five-year Anniversary, Fri., Oct. 5, 10:30 p.m., free,

Adapted from the director’s 1984 live-action short, Frankenweenie is loaded with famous thriller-movie references — from the fabulous opening film-within-a-film to a clip from Dracula and a Vincent-Price-inspired character. The story quickly establishes the close bond between Victor and his dog Sparky. When the pooch unexpectedly bites the dust, the bereft child is struck — as if by lightning — with the idea to reanimate his pet, and he does so in a virtuoso sequence à la Frankenstein. While the reignited Sparky isn’t seamless — some of his body parts tend to fall off — Frankenweenie is a solidly conceived blend of humor and horror that balances dry jokes (a pet-cemetery grave marked “Goodbye, Kitty”) with unsettling jolts (freaky hybrid mutant animals). The film is consistently clever and the exceptional animation is dazzling — it’s especially impressive to see how realistic the facial expressions are on the humans and animals. Frankenweenie also boasts a terrific pro-science outlook — when used for good instead of evil, of course. This film may not be entirely appropriate for younger viewers, but anyone with a dark heart will be thrilled. —Gary M. Kramer (Franklin Mills, Franklin Theatre, UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA |A What’s that speck on the horizon? In director David Lean’s magnificent and deeply curious Lawrence of Arabia, it takes two full minutes for Omar Sharif on camelback to make his entrance, transforming from a black dot shimmering in the haze into a menacing protector of his tribe’s territory. Plenty of other grand and gorgeous moments sweep through the

film — a vast desert, a long trek by hundreds on camels, an assault on a coastal town. Speaking of gorgeous, there’s the high-hotness pairing of Sharif with Peter O’Toole as the sparkling, charismatic, bleached-blond Lawrence. (Noel Coward once quipped to O’Toole, “If you’d been any prettier, it would have been Florence of Arabia.”) As Lawrence goes from envoy to fighter to prisoner of a sadist (and probable sodomizer) to failed diplomat, he becomes more and more of a cipher to us — and, the film implies, to himself. It takes a big screen to capture all this, and twice Thursday, four local movie theaters are screening a digitally restored print as part of a nationwide celebration of Lawrence’s 50th anniversary. (Go to fathomevents.com for details.) It’s four-plus hours. It has an intermission. It includes exactly zero women in speaking roles. It’s dazzling. —Theresa Everline (AMC Plymouth Meeting, King of Prussia 16, Rave, UA Riverview)

THE ORANGES |B Like Friends With Kids, which premiered alongside it at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, The Oranges sounds like something that should be kept at arm’s length: the story of a suburban father (Hugh Laurie) who has an affair with his neighbor’s daughter (Leighton Meester). But Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss’s script follows through on their yuckster premise with uncommon insight and dedication, without a shirk or a smirk. As uncomfortable as Laurie and Meester’s relationship makes everyone else, and as much damage as it inevitably causes, it’s not a simple escape-hatch fling; Laurie may be done with his marriage, and Meester has just broken off her own engagement, but their May-December rebound turns out to be surprisingly durable. It’s left to others, including Laurie’s wife Alison Janney, kids Alia Shawkat and Adam Brody, and pal Oliver Platt, to reorient themselves, as they realize that what seemed like an

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA |B+ The first feature by Cartoon Network auteur Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack) is a twoheaded monster — part idiosyncratic romp, part pro forma studio product. Tartakovsky, the sixth director on Sony’s breech-birthed baby, is at his best in Hotel Transylvania’s frenzied opening set piece, as vacationing monsters pour into the human-safe hotel run by Adam Sandler’s Dracula, here a mild-mannered dad desperate

to keep his 100-and-teenage daughter (Selena Gomez) from venturing into the world. As werewolves collide with mummies, narrowly dodging Bigfoot — represented, of course, as a giant foot — the movie pinwheels through 3D space, gloriously free from the coming-of-age plot that eventually straitjackets it. The script, credited to five writers (including Robert Smigel — no wonder Drac sounds like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog), is a jumbled affair, best when it’s riffing out zingers, worst when it’s dragged, zombie-like, back to the by-the-numbers storyline. It’s not a satisfying whole, but parts are sheer delight. Think of it as the product of Tex Avery and Dr. Frankenstein. —SA (Franklin Mills, UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

From the get-go, Robert Miller (Richard Gere) looks like the newest model from the Gordon Gekko mold. One by one, Arbitrage presents the identifying traits: First comes Miller’s sharply tailored gray suit, then the young trophy mistress and, most crucially, the egregious fraud that hedge-fund manager Miller has been perpetuating. The similarities stop there, because helmer Nicholas Jarecki wisely takes this psychological drama elsewhere. What makes Arbitrage feel novel is the movie’s nonjudgmental take on its protagonist’s misdeeds. As Miller’s wrongdoings pile up, he never stops to squirm. Lying handily to his wife (Susan Sarandon) poses no problem. Neither does risking the future of his unwitting daughter (Brit Marling) with Madoff-style deception. The only hint of remorse comes when the financier drives his paramour into a lethal car wreck, but it quickly fades as Miller decides to cover up the accident. Jarecki’s slick script keeps Miller’s intertwined dramas in check as pressure continues to build. Meanwhile, Gere’s charisma is on full display, making his character remarkably difficult to root against. Since Gere’s stolid expression betrays no inner anxiety and the script never pauses for reflection, the audience becomes increasingly complicit in Miller’s immoral crimes. The resulting discomfort is what gives this thriller a pleasantly energizing pulse. —Michael Gold (Ritz East)

DREDD |BApplying a steel-toed reboot to the longdormant franchise, Vantage Point’s Pete Travis gives us a Judge Dredd for the 21st century: humorless, scowling and shot in murky 3-D. Karl Urban, adopting a version of Christian Bale’s goofy Batman growl, plays the titular judge, who in the dark future of Mega City One finds, tries and sentences criminals in less time than it takes to call a lawyer. Co-written by Danny Boyle’s go-to dystopian Alex Garland, the movie incorporates the satirical edge of the British comic, unlike the DOA Sylvester Stallone vehicle. As Dredd and his rookie partner, played by Olivia Thirlby, enter the crime-

END OF WATCH|B Set in modern-day South Central L.A., a chessboard writer/director David Ayer navigates better than pretty much anyone, End of Watch shadows young partners Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Zavala (Michael Peña), beat cops with little in common aside from the oath they’ve sworn. Their differences are explored via nimble, substantial squad-car banter that provides an astute in-road into their bond, clowning the lazy “reasonable guy/wacky guy” conceit that colors lesser law-enforcement movies. But all that quippage flies out the window the second the cops overstep their pay grade, following a trail that uncovers evidence of sordid Mexican cartel activity on American soil. Ayer’s scripting tends to run his stars ragged, banging home insights that have already been revealed by his players’ graceful chemistry. But in a genre

bound and gagged by cliché, an inventive approach should be celebrated, in spite of its imperfections. —Drew Lazor (Franklin Mills, UA 69th Street)

infested skyscraper that will be their home for the rest of the movie, they pass a homeless man with a sign reading, “Will Debase Self For Credits.” Unfortunately, the flashes of wit don’t extend to the ho-hum action sequence that makes up most of the film or Urban’s colorless performance. Thirlby, as a psychic mutant who nonetheless knows her way around a firearm, has a grand time casting off Juno’s snark and kicking ass, but unfortunately it’s not contagious. —SA (Franklin Mills)

THE OTHER DREAM TEAM

and tap the inexperienced Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) to run against him. Ferrell’s turn as Brady is essentially his standard manic man-baby crammed into the frame of his old Bush impersonation from SNL. Galifianakis’ Huggins is lispy, but not quite limp-wristed, and an ideal foil to Ferrell’s man-possessed routine. Despite revolving around an election, there are no discernible party lines. Rather, one character or the other is simply painted like a dick whenever a difference needs to be conveyed. While few will probably go into The Campaign expecting highbrow social commentary, this disappoints on the simple scale as well. —Chris Brown (Roxy)

LIBERAL ARTS |CStar Josh Radnor nabs director and writer credits on Liberal Arts, as he did on his debut feature, Happythankyoumoreplease. Both films center around himself as a stunted but noble young man dragging his feet into grown-up responsibility. Here, he returns to his Ohio college for the retirement of a beloved professor (Richard Jenkins), where he falls for a mature-beyond-her-years sophomore (Elizabeth Olsen), mentors a troubled loner (John Magaro) and collides with an icy, jaded literature teacher (Allison Janney). As a filmmaker, Radnor definitely has a talent for surrounding himself with gifted character actors who almost manage to convince the audience to admire his self-absorbed man-children. Otherwise, everything he’s learned as a director seems to come directly from the “just get it

on camera� school of television, as does his wince-inducing tendency to conjure one-note characters like Zac Efron’s magical stoner. Radnor obviously aspires to Woody Allen, but endless scenes of people whining at each other and cheesy montages set to classical music make Allen’s achievements look even more stunning by comparison. “The world’s dirty secret,� Jenkins offers at one point, is that “nobody feels like an adult.� Unfortunately, Radnor feels compelled to spill those beans in the most ponderous fashion. —Shaun Brady (Ritz Five)

limit liability, the employing syndicate, run by the oddly kind Abe (Jeff Daniels), periodically shoots back decadesweathered versions of the loopers themselves, stamping a non-negotiable expiration date on its freelancers. When Joe, already mired in existential woe over the finality of his career, comes face-to-face with his own creased visage (Bruce Willis), he hesitates just long enough for the more experienced, more dangerous version of himself to flee. Falling in with a single mother (Emily Blunt) and her captivating, frightening son (Pierce Gagnon), Young Joe tracks Old Joe’s movements and vice-versa, each killer hacking brush to escape from their impossible situations. So few dystopian setups dodge the derivative, and director Rian Johnson’s isn’t perfect, but Looper, worth it for the action bones alone, is more clever than anything in this year’s sci-fi class. Very few movies allow their main man to sprawl with such indeterminate bearings, and even fewer are able to haul him in when it counts. —DL (Franklin Mills, UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

THE MASTER |AOne night, in a toxic haze, World War II sailor Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) wanders onto a yacht chartered by Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the guru behind a nebulous self-help movement called The Cause. Dodd insists that humankind is a breed apart from the animal kingdom, but Freddie is all urges. In the first scene, as word of the armistice filters in, he and his fellow sailors fashion a woman’s body out of wet sand to celebrate, and until the movie’s final scene, that’s as close as Freddie comes to getting his end wet. Whether he’s striking out or pushing away, he remains unsatisfied, which may be a deliberate metaphor for how The Master leaves us. Phoenix’s

performance is a guttural wonder, and Hoffman seems to have found a whole new register for his voice, but as Freddie drifts into and finally out of Dodd’s orbit, director Paul Thomas Anderson seems like a chess player toying with a mid-level piece, shifting him around the board without a strategy in place. The Master is less than the sum of its parts, but, oh, what parts they are. —SA (Ritz Five)

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER |A Wounded by the suicide of his only friend, bookish Charlie (Logan Lerman) dreads his ascension into high school. He finds release in literature, fed to him by a prescient teacher (Paul Rudd), eventually latching on to Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller), step-sibling classmates who embrace their off-kilter social standing. Outlandish Patrick, nailed by Miller in the movie’s standout performance, is gay, carrying out a dangerous secret relationship with a star athlete (Johnny Simmons). Sam, meanwhile, is empathetic to everyone

but herself, tangling with unhealthy relationships in a manifestation of one of the book’s most loaded lines (“We accept the love we think we deserve�). If all this sounds insufferably sodden, that’s because it is. But writer/director Stephen Chbosky’s

[ movie shorts ]

ability to embolden the quiet moments that only sound loud to ears of a certain age has been purified by live action. Charlie’s plummet and tentative redemption run the angst gamut so conspicuously that it’s easy to snicker when he famously declares that he feels “infinite.� But all you’ve got to do is make a conscious effort to remember that you were once 16, emo and awful, to feel the same, at least for a mixtape minute.—DL (Ritz East)

PITCH PERFECT A haiku: It’s Bring It On for a cappella groups, you guys! Tagline: Get Pitch Slapped. (Not reviewed) (Franklin Mills, UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN|BThe story, an incredible one, is that of Sixto Rodriguez, a Detroit singersongwriter who made two albums of introspective, psychedelic soul music: Cold Fact and Coming From Reality. Two decades later, long after Rodriguez dropped out of sight and possibly died, those unknown albums were embraced by the South African freedom movement, becoming the soundtrack of a struggle half a world away and elevating him to the status of an absent figurehead. Director Malik Bendjelloul is so insistent about the story’s extraordinary nature that you can’t help but wonder if he’s cooking the books, a suspicion that pays off when a late-film twist reveals he’s essentially been leading his audience astray. Pulling drama out of the material is one thing, but ginning it up wholesale blurs the line between storytelling and simple fraud. —SA (Ritz Five)

to launch his career while ignoring his bigger issues. For one thing, there’s the reverse rom-com arc he’s going through with his dynamite longtime girlfriend Abby (Lauren Ambrose). For another, there are his increasingly dangerous sleepwalking episodes (shown in hilarious and surreal Walter Mitty-esque dream sequences) that often leave him bleeding and bewildered. Along the way, the movie has some smart things to say about the delusional life of the road-warrior comic, driving lonely miles to tell the same jokes to half-empty rooms for low pay.

✚ THE RAVEONETTES Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo never met an echo chamber, guitar flange or hollowed-out bass drum they didn’t like. The moody Copenhagen duo, keepers of the Jesus and Mary Chain flame, may be a decade past the B-flat-minor songs of

their debut, Whip It On, but that doesn’t mean they’ve become Rush. On the brand-new Observator, the pair adds just a few more chords and scares off most of the gloom that usually overshadows their subtly contagious melodies and mumbled vocals. They’ve changed up their rhythms, too, going from no drums (on “Young and Cold”) to hip-hop rhythm loops (“Curse the Night”). Thankfully, they’ve kept the twanging, heartbreaking guitars that made their very best material ring out like a church bell on Sunday morning. —A.D.

✚ THE LAST TESTAMENT: A MEMOIR BY GOD The silence of God over the last 1,400 years (excepting the Book of Mormon, which even

the man upstairs admits wasn’t up to His usual standards) has plagued thinkers from Nietzsche to Ingmar Bergman. Last year, He finally decided to break that silence, choosing another in a line of unlikely ghostwriters. Following in the prophesying footsteps of the stuttering Moses and shoddily biopic-ed Muhammad comes David Javerbaum, former head writer and executive producer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. An omniscient deity by definition knows what He’s doing, so His intent was apparently to fill His creation in on what He’s been up to for the past several centuries, which have been remarkably free of law-giving and smiting, two hobbies that He seemed to so enjoy in the early centuries. He also dishes some holy dirt on the Bible’s most familiar characters, necessary in the modern age of the “telleth-all.” —Shaun Brady Thu., Oct. 4, 7 p.m., $7, The Gershman Y, 401 S.

✚ DAVID TRUBRIDGE David Trubridge is to New Zealand’s design landscape what Dieter Rams is to industrial architecture: a legend of environmentally friendly innovation whose creativity seems unbounded. After making waves by sailing around the world from England (where he was schooled) to New Zealand (where he wound up for good) in the early ’80s, Trubridge won accolades and corporate commissions for his experimental but pragmatically purposeful designs in lighting and furniture. The Japanese and the Italian markets immediately took to his stark, sleek geometric designs, and Trubridge’s future was assured, especially when

it came to lighting. His newest exhibition of work, “Southern Lights,” is based on inspiration gleaned from his adopted homeland and uses natural elements (lots of wood with woven designs) crafted into snazzy modern shapes.

(a puzzler developed by a 5-yearold that has become a worldwide craze). The collective — which also offers free workshops in programming and game design — aims to break the sleeper hold mainstream platform gaming has on the industry.

✚ PUNK ARCADE

✚ WILLIS EARL BEAL

Arcades ain’t dead, they’re adapting. Just ask the traveling DIY game creators of Punk Arcade, who like to set up selfmade arcade machines in outdoor spaces. Among the games you can play Friday and a few other times this month at Little Berlin in Kensington: Can You Jump It 3D (a psychedelic racer), The Immoral Ms. Conduct (a YouTube-based prison-break game), Big Huggin’ (make your teddy bear time his hugs) and Sissy’s Magical Ponycorn Ride

The anomalous means by which Willis Earl Beal came to national attention — a crudely drawn flier that made its way onto the cover of Found Magazine; a colorfully improbable, oft-repeated personal backstory — have generated an inevitable focus on the 28-yearold Chicagoan’s outsider-oddball status. And the scratchy, years-old home recordings presented on Acousmatic Sorcery (Hot Charity/XL) hardly discourage that emphasis.

✚ GIARGIARI BEL CANTO COMPETITION Opera, peopled with sprawling egos and intense physicality, is as close to professional sports as classical music gets. It’s fitting, then, that this city’s top vocal training ground, the Academy of Vocal Arts, starts every season with the Giargiari Bel Canto Competition, a public contest among their students. The young singers compete for cash prizes before a panel of judges (they change every year; even the occasional music critic gets a shot, including this writer a few years back). There is also an audience-favorite segment with the victor determined by acclamation. It can get a bit boisterous — fortunately AVA discourages the hurling of rotten tomatoes.

ist Ornette Coleman returned to his native Fort Worth to perform his symphonic work “Skies of America” and to be feted by the city. Filmmaker Shirley Clarke uses that event as a leapingoff point to explore Coleman’s career to that point, traipsing through biography, concert footage and interviews with the unpredictable weave of Coleman’s own harmolodic lines. Clarke’s re-enactments of Coleman’s impoverished childhood demonstrate the roots of the downhome blues that underlie even his most avant-garde flights, while footage of musicians from Jajouka or a reading by William Burroughs suggest some of the inspirations behind his forward leaps. Arriving at the midpoint of a still-flourishing career, Made in America remains the most enlightening investigation into Coleman’s often-oblique thought processes. I-House will screen a newly restored print on Friday night, followed by The Connection, Clarke’s classic 1962 portrait of drug-addicted jazz musicians, on Saturday.

But while there’s no denying Beal’s eccentricity, there’s real artistry here, not just a freak show. Even with the makeshift instrumentation, rudimentary musicianship and nonexistent production values — Beal has professed some justifiable embarrassment about his songs seeing wide release in this form — his impressive stylistic range (raw, field-holler-like blues; gently poppy strummers; seasick Tom Waits surrealism; glinting lap-harp instrumentals; sing-song proto-hip-hop) and his commanding, richly soulful singing voice shine right through. His live show, if hopefully more deliberate in presentation, should be every bit as intimate — and it’s our best chance to glimpse beyond the folk-art-savant caricature.

✚ THE JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION Surely you’ve missed the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion since they disappeared at the start of the century. Throughout the ’90s, Spencer, Judah Bauer

and Russell Simins were the soul of skuzzy blues and fuzztone freak-outs. During the nasty-ass grunge decade, they were a handsome unit that stood out like a well-manicured thumb. They made a nine-year run of damaged classic albums and EPs for Matador (including the threadbare A Ass Pocket of Whiskey with R.L. Burnside) that pockmarked the pop landscape. Why the Blues Explosion flamed out at exactly the time The Black Keys and TheWhite Stripes came to prominence, I’ll never know. Luckily, they’re back to devil-may-care swagger on the just-released Meat and Bone, with its best songs (“Get Your Pants Off,” “Boot Cut”) sounding bruised and blue like always. —A.D.

Prior to the 2010 release of The Rub and Spare Change, bassist/composer Michael Formanek seemed to have given up on being a leader. While he’d been busy working with everyone from Uri Caine to Dave Burrell to Elvis Costello, more than a decade had passed since the last release under Formanek’s own name. This made it all the more remarkable that The Rub was such a masterful, assured set, although to anyone who’d been paying attention it should have come as little surprise that Formanek’s chosen quartet would gel into such a cohesive, fluid unit. The bassist had played with saxophonist Tim Berne for years in various settings, most notably the groundbreaking quartet Bloodcount, and that family tree extended

attest to that; McCollough left last spring, ceding the kitchen to his second in command, Sean Magee. The week of the autumn equinox proved a prescient time to visit. Magee and his new sous chef Craig Russell were slowly phasing in items from their new fall menu. A mellow breeze rode into the 60-seat dining room through the wide-open windows, carrying the riffs of the live jazz duo into the cozy back corners of the candlelit, caramel-colored space.

Ribs of soft fennel reinforced the anise flavor, while big leaves of parsley brought a grassier green note.

✚ Third Time <<< continued from page 45

Magee takes risks on his tasting menus with on-the-fly caprices. the accompanying mountain of hand-cut fries — thick, stubby and tossed with salt, pepper, parsley, chives and shallots — waited on standby. If not the best frites in town, they’re at least the best seasoned. The texturally tough mussels found a counterpart in the octopus. You’d think a slow sous-vide poach and quick visit to the grill would turn it tender, but the tentacles I received, crawling through a froth of house-made hickory-infused almond milk, chewed like a scuba snorkel, while fresh grapefruit riding horseback brought a jarring bitterness. None of it worked for me, but I can still appreciate the creativity it represented: a reinterpreting of Spain’s classic almond-octo pairing, the smokiness of the hickory meant to align with the flame-touched flavor of the meat’s charred ends. It’s a good idea, one that could be realized in a better way. Magee takes risks, both on the nightly menu and in the five-course ($45) and seven-course ($65) tastings of on-the-fly caprices and percolating experiments. The risks don’t always pay off, but I’ll take one dud for every four inspired successes. That creative spirit is what makes Time more relevant as a dining destination than it ought to be, best exemplified by the Kung Pao bone marrow, a long canoe of jellied beef fat brushed, while roasting, with soy sauce and brown sugar and fortified with Szechuan peppercorns and Chinese chilies. Crushed peanuts, chopped scallions and shards of crystallized ginger released their essential oils over the hot marrow’s surface, creating another layer of flavor that drew me in bite after bite after bite. I loved the ginger in particular, sneaky little grenades of sugarcoated fire. Sorry to say, that marrow was on the summer menu, but its replacement, furnished with bacon-onion jam and salt-and-vinegar chips, sounds just as ridiculous. The falling-apart pork ribs, slathered in a rusty-red barbecue sauce spiced with ancho and vanilla, have also been retired for the fall. But the quail, stuffed with foie and brioche, has a new look to show off for Thanksgiving. The crisp-skinned chubby bird arrived wearing puffed wild rice, cinnamon-laced sweet-potato puree and sharp cherry gastrique flowing beneath it in swirls of orange and burgundy. Quail is a finicky thing to cook, but Magee matched his technical skill to his creativity with this bird’s glistening medium-rare meat. For dessert, the peach cobbler has become the apple cobbler, really simple and really good with brown-sugar ice cream, and as long as squash hangs around, there’ll be slabs of custardy toasted zucchini bread (recipe courtesy of sous chef Russell’s mama) drizzled with salted caramel. That Magee and his crew manage to do all this at prices so reasonable — think $50 a head with booze and tip — means you can sip something nice after dinner at the adjacent whiskey bar without taking out a second mortgage. Chew the bourbon, savor the jazz, toast the fall. Time, it would seem, is no longer worth wasting. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

I CHEATED ON YOU More than once. With my boss. It was phenomenal. He’s bigger than you, and he’s better than you. None of that corny love making shit. Being with him actually felt like being with a real man. I kind of felt bad while we were still together, even though you were a completely shitty and incompetent boyfriend and lover, but now that we have broken up, you have proven yourself to be a complete and utter douche bag as well, and I am now GLAD that I cheated on you. Whew! It feels good to get that off my chest.

THE MAN WHO I LOVE Johnny you are by far the best thing that ever happened to me. The way we met was by chance and I am so glad it happened like that. We were both so miserable and missing something until the day we met in March. It took until April 1st for you to finally “catch” me but you did. I came home with you and had the best sex of my life that day, then I just never left. I love you John, until my last breath. We share something so perfect. I will always love you! -Eryka

I just don’t want any problems...I want everything to go according to how it should be...I did love you deeply but now it is time to let you go! Go and do what you need to do with your family and let me alone.

I WANTED TO... I missed the opportunity to sit on your face and honestly I am so fucking pissed about that. When his schedule gets right I am going to call you over and I am going to sit on that face and grind like there is no tomorrow. You make me fucking come so

years is a long time for you LOL, it is for me) and you mean so much to me. I know that you how i feel about me and I hope you know I feel the same way. We have been through some really fun times, and last week was some of the most fun I have had in a really long time. I care about you deeply and I love you as one of my best friends. Maybe it is too late to say that I would love to take it further, maybe you would give it a chance (you know you want to!) and I knwo you want to have that girl who is always there for you. I can be that girl! And I know you’re married to that skateboard, but I could be your mistress, I could be the girl that’s there waiting for you when you go out and do your thing, and support you when you need me, anytime. Just think about it, put some thought into it, but if you’re not feeling it, I will understand and put it behind me. Oh, and happy birthday. :)

am done! Ask you brother did he like the blow job I gave him! The joke is the fuck on you!

MIXED EMOTIONS I feel like I am on a emotional roller coaster with your ass ! I hate you and you asked me not say that anymore but it is hard to do it because that is how I feel! I don’t like your phony ass. It makes me wonder over and over if you and I are ever going to connect on the same level ever again. I just can’t put my finger on it. I am proud of my situation by hating your situation because it is almost as if you don’t have a care in the fucking world! Get it

just want to be with you..romance and everything is what I deserve...with you and only you! I hope that you realize that.

REMEMBER “SPIKE MO”? Hey cool guy...I’m pretty sure I was supposed to do this last week, to surprise you for your birthday. But, unfortunately, my schedule was pretty tight and there wasn’t enough time to write the right words. This week though, I know exactly what I’m gonna say and hopefully you can understand where I’m coming from with this. So here it goes: We have been friends for so long (I don’t know if 5

YOU RUSH I hope you know that this is for you...you need to sit the fuck down already and relex and just let nature take it’s course because honestly we are tired of you trying to make someone look bad and honestly if you think that you are going to get fired why don’t you fucking quit. Your stories are getting weak and fucking tired. ✚ ADS ALSO APPEAR AT CITYPAPER.NET/lovehate. City Paper has the right to re-publish “I Love You, I Hate You”™ ads at the publisher’s discretion.
