Three’s a Crowd Regarding Randy LoBasso’s feature story on third-party candidates in Pennsylvania: Rep. [Allyson] Schwartz should be ashamed of herself, having challenged [Nathan] Kleinman’s signatures while knowing full well that the loser-pays law unfairly burdens the little guy, likely making a defense financial suicide.

It’s highly unlikely she would have been threatened in the primary anyway.

She and the Democratic Party could have benefited from a healthy policy debate, but she foreclosed that opportunity. This is not the Ally Schwartz we once knew.

Now she’s part of the bipartisan machine that runs Pennsylvania. The two ruling parties are not going to change the status quo that cements them permanently in power. In some states, the courts would be the place to challenge it, but here in Pennsylvania our state judges, right up to the Supreme Court, are cogs in the party machine RICH GARELLA, via philadelphiaweekly.com Thank you for doing a story about this. It’s sickening that we have an election system that now says businesses and unions may donate unlimited money to a super PAC, and yet a third-party and independent candidates can barely compete. If you were to purposely build a system against the common voter, this is how you’d do it.

Sadly, Pa. has the most backward laws in the country on a wide array of issues. This is merely one of them. For a down-home, conservative-as-hell state at its core, it has no idea how to run a true democracy. If you want to protest this kind of corruption, vote Green, Independent or anything else in November. It’s truly your only voice.

JOE, via philadelphiaweekly.com The third party gives us a true choice that the Bobbsey Twins in the main two parties refuse to give us. I know, who wants to spend the time on a choice?

JACK SMITH, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Choice Words Regarding Tara Murtha’s column about Pennsylvania being the nerve center of the abortion debate: The right is in the midst of an all-out attack on the rights of women. They are trying to relegate women to property. [They think] we are too stupid to know what we want to do with our bodies and lives. The attack on Planned Parenhood is misguided. Planned Parenthood was where I went as a young woman for exams and birth control. It was the only place I could afford.

Without them, who knows how my life would have been different. Don’t let the right-wing fanatics force your little girl into an unwanted, preventable pregnancy.

KAREN POLES, via philadelphiaweekly.com Yes, all those bills are definitely crossing the lines. Big time. Informed consent? How cute. Then why do lawmakers insist on doctors lying about women concerning abortions, citing a long-debunked study linking abortions to breast cancer? Why do lawmakers insist women are too stupid to inform themselves, think about their options and what’s best for them, and take a decision accordingly?

Women have the right to be mad. They have the right to be fed up and I’m happy to see them fighting back! The government does not belong in our uteri. Lawmakers should be dealing with REAL issues such as the economy and the lack of health-care access for too many Americans. Shame on them.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com When the pro-lifers spend as much energy on banning the death penalty, guns, land mines, cluster bombs and nuclear warheads and calling for the disbanding of the military-industrial complex, then I might take their arguments about the sanctity of life seriously. Until that day they are simply a bunch of misogynists who are parading under a false flag.

Fringe-Worthy

Get to know your local (and lesser-known) presidential candidates.

By Michael Alan Goldberg mgoldberg@philadelphiaweekly.com If it only takes a dollar and a dream to play the lottery, it takes even less to officially run for president of the United States. Just a 45-cent stamp to mail a statement of candidacy to the Federal Election Commission, and the proper motivation: patriotism, a deep desire for public service, a massive ego, love of the absurd (or a good publicity stunt) or an elevator that doesn’t get anywhere close to the top floor.

Every four years, hundreds of fringe candidates around the country try to take over the White House, and this year, a handful of locals—or folks with deep Philadelphia roots—are among them. So if Obama, Romney or Santorum don’t set your pants on fire, well, there are options.

The Debt Collector

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2 •

CHUCK DILLON

George Ballard III, a 59-year-old Mt. Airy resident and Wharton grad—and former Simon Gratz High student body president (so he knows what it’s like to hold elected office)—has run a couple times before as a Democrat, including in 2008.

8

He believes he was poised to become the country’s first black president, but that Obama stole his thunder by announcing his “hope-and-change” candidacy before Ballard.

Ballard says Obama has whiffed on fi xing an economy on the brink of collapse.

“Our country’s going broke, and the broker it gets the closer we get to civil war, my man,” he says. “I don’t wanna scare anybody, but I have enough vision of the way these things work to see it coming.”

Not to worry. Ballard has a plan. When he becomes president, the first thing he’ll do is push through a Constitutional amendment to create a fourth branch of government—the finance branch—that would account for all the nation’s money, break deadlocks on budgetary issues and “report to the American people like a corporation does.”

That’ll help right the ship, he says, but that’s not enough. Ballard warns that the national debt is “a 15 trillion dollar train flyin’ down the tracks, and it’ll take just about an act of God to turn that thing around.”

Or maybe a Ballard presidency.

He says he knows 30 virtually foolproof revenue sources that would generate $60 trillion over 50 years and get us out of debt.

What are they?

“Well, I can’t tell you that,” he snorts.

Here’s the catch: Before he reveals his plan to save the future, he wants a contract from Congress that will pay him a 5 to 15 percent finder’s fee.

On the $60 trillion.

What about just doing it for the good of the country? “That’s important,” he laughs, “but this is a business transaction.”

The Cleaner

While Ballard’s looking to become a savior and the richest man on the planet, Lester Byerly is trying to spread the wealth. The 67-year-old independent candidate is a Philly-born retired contractor who makes his home near the Jersey Shore.

“When I’m president we’re gonna hand out Federal Reserve debit cards to anyone earning under $50,000 a year, and it’ll start off with $12,000,” he says.

Byerley, a diehard FDR fan, thinks Obama is “a bad person from beginning to end.” He particularly objects to Obamacare, saying it will “put people in jail for not buying insurance.”

He’s got a better answer for the healthcare crisis: Hydrogen peroxide. Byerly says it’s a cure-all, ridding the body of viruses, colds and cancers, and we need to regularly drink the stuff. (The FDA disagrees.)

“The need for doctors and hospitals will be reduced enormously and it will mean a cost in jobs,” he admits. “But human health should supercede everything, including the economy.”

The Conspiracy Theorist

Leah Lax is a South Philly native who now lives in Highspire, just outside Harrisburg. The 61-year-old retired accountant and self-described “moderate independent” says politics is fi lled with “too much hate.”

Lax’s road to the White House began in West Palm Beach, Fla., in 2007. Recently widowed, she says a friend invited her to a private grassroots organizing meeting with Obama and about 10 other people.

She didn’t like what she heard.

Lax, a hardcore birther who also apparently never met a conspiracy theory she didn’t love, says that Obama, his wife and two children—as well as most Congressional leaders and federal judges—have billions in secret Vatican slush funds, so they’re all corrupt. Worst of all, she insists, Obama is a secret Muslim hellbent on imposing Sharia law on America and using the Constitution as his own personal roll of toilet paper.

“He’s destroying this country,” she intones.

Lax’s platform includes job creation and lower taxes. But mainly she’s just trying to save the country from Obama’s dastardly plans. And she says she’s paid a price. Just months after filing with the FEC last year, she says black cars began showing up in front of her house. She claims she was

scheduled to appear on Glenn Beck’s Fox News show, but that once Obama’s people found out, they pre-emptively had him fired from the network. Beck could not be reached for comment.

“I’ve been told that I better be very careful what I say because I’ll end up like [recently deceased conservative firebrand] Andrew Breitbart,” she whispers.

“A sudden heart attack—yeah, right.”

But Lax is pressing forward. In January, she was in Swarthmore for a debate between fringe presidential candidates, though she’s upset that she was lumped in with “a Libertarian, a Nazi and a commie.”

“They’re all whack jobs!” she exclaims.

“They don’t want to put me in with the mainstream candidates because I’ll ask the hard questions, like about Vatican funds.”

“I’m a longshot, but so was Truman,” says continues. “People are flocking to me, because anyone who truly believes in the Constitution should vote for me.”

Ol’ Faithful

“There sure are a lot of characters in the race,” laughs Ed O’Donnell.

A spry, kindly 64-year-old seller of books and maps, O’Donnell—a Philadelphian by way of Delaware, who’s running under the Patriot Party banner—may have the most impressive political credentials of all. He’s run in every presidential campaign since 1984, and unlike the others, he actually appeared on a primary ballot this year: In New Hampshire, where he garnered 222 votes (topping his previous best of 80 votes).

He’s also writing a book about some of the more colorful fringe candidates in U.S. history.

“I would say the major candidates are the real crazies and phonies and megalomaniacs,” he says. “The lesser-known candidates tend to be the sincere ones.”

O’Donnell says he’s running a purely positive campaign in which he’s calling for jobs and homes for everyone, the elimination of guns and a national litter removal program. And he sees a clear path to victory.

“If the country collapses, and millions of people think it will, the president and vice-president can resign and appoint a successor,” he explains. O’Donnell says it will be him because God will make it happen.

“If you believe, like I do, the 37th Psalm that says God will give you the desire of your heart, then, you know, the chances are pretty good,” he says. ■

South Philly developers are still wooing sports fans. This year, it’s with the massive XFinity Live! complex.

By L. K. Murray I feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2 • 10

here was a simpler time in Philadelphia sports. It didn’t include stadiums named after banks or subway stops named after a company touting its 4G coverage. Hell, people didn’t even own cell phones back then.

There was the Vet, home to the Eagles and Phillies, and the Spectrum, where the Flyers and Sixers called home during the ’70s and ’80s.

Fans back then didn’t need club-box seats, sushi or vodka tonics. Just a warm beer and a cold hot dog seemed to suffice. Ice cream in a plastic mini helmet and nachos were about as exotic as the food choices got there.

But those arenas are long gone, with nothing more than bronze markers to note their existence.

Veterans Stadium was reduced to rubble eight years ago this month; we bid farewell to the Spectrum in 2009 with the swing of a wrecking ball. What was once home to championship sports teams, musical acts like Adam Ant and ZZ Top, professional wrestling and monster truck rallies is now little more than a parking lot.

Obviously, things have changed. Philadelphia continues to expand as redevelopment creeps along its major corridors.

And nowhere is this as evident as it is in South Philly, home to our city’s four major sports teams.

Lincoln Financial Field is home to the Eagles and Temple Football. The multipurpose CoreStates … err … First Union … err … Wachovia … err … Wells Fargo Center is filled more than 80 nights a year with Flyers and Sixers fans.

Only the Phillies have been able to raise a league championship banner in the city, breaking a title drought dating back to the Reagan administration.

They did so in the 8-year-old old Citizens Bank Park, where you’re as likely to find vegan and gluten-free food options as you were the infamous feral cats in the bowels of the Vet. And now, just in time for the start of another Phillies season, the curtain goes up next week on Xfinity Live!—a 60,000-square-foot sports and entertainment center owned by ComcastSpectacor.

And it’s dropped smack dab in the

middle of the sports complex.

“By taking down the Spectrum and building something new and exciting to reinvent the property and create a fun entertainment center, it doesn’t replace the memories, but it moves us forward,” says Peter Luukko, Comcast-Spectacor’s president and COO. Come rain or come shine, the sports complex in South Philly is where the Delaware Valley goes to cheer its teams and drown its sorrows. Which is why Luukko sees Xfinity Live! as another step in the evolution of not only professional sports, but of Philadelphia itself.

“The whole idea of all of this is to have a concept that there’s something for everyone—a family oriented place where maybe you want to do some fine dining one night, but maybe the next you want to relax in a pub,” he says. “The next night, you could sing along at the Victory Hall, or ride the bull another [night].”

Five venues take up space at the corner of 11th Street and Pattison Avenue, anchored by the NBC Sports Arena and its 32-foot diagonal Sony HD TV. It’s being billed as a “fourth stadium.”

One of the spots is PBR Bar and Grill.

But don’t be fooled by the name. It’s named for bull riding and not for shitty beer.

The Broad Street Bullies Pub plans to offer four dozen beers on tap in a classic setting. Victory Beer Hall, a joint venture from the Downingtown-based craft brewer, is a take on European drinking halls.

There will also be smaller retailers like Mitchell and Ness onsite.

Joel Maxcy, an associate professor with Temple University’s Sport Industry Research Institute, says the Xfinity Live! project is a sort-of sports shopping mall.

The three existing stadiums are the anchor stores, the draws for patrons, and the rest are infill. Instead of an Orange Julius stand, you have a place to buy crab fries. Instead of a place to get your ears pierced, maybe you can get your face painted.

“You’re opening up related retail opportunities and things the sports consumer would like,” Maxcy says. “It’s a situation where they might not be able to get tickets to a Phillies or Flyers game, but

with this, people who want to be close to the action can go down and enjoy the benefits of being close, but not inside.”

The question now is whether there’s enough interest for people to come from the city or out of town seven days a week to make the project viable. Luukko couldn’t offer up revenue projections, though he suggests South Philly’s development over the years as an indicator of things to come.

“The neighborhood’s growing up, there’s a lot more people working down here than five or 10 years ago, both working and living,” Luukko says. “I’ve talked to the Navy Yard about running shuttles here. They have some places to eat, but they want to expand the offerings for thousands of employees down there.”

Part of the master plan for the old Naval Shipyard projects that the site will be able to accommodate 20,000 employees when it is fully built out. The same plan calls for at least 850 and up to 5,750 midrise and townhouse units.

“We’re so close to downtown,” Luukko says. “We’re seven minutes from Center City but on the other hand, as the city grows outward, we’re creating that mass and economic impact. The good news is that we’re creating more jobs.”

At the Spectrum, about 250 people were needed to staff an event. The same

number is expected for busy nights at Xfinity Live!, but for more nights during the calendar year than the Spectrum had when it was the only game in town.

Win or lose, the game is the main attraction for WIP radio personality Big Daddy Graham. The Philadelphia native and overnight-show host has seen his fair share of games at venues going back to arenas that even predate the Vet. “I go to games to watch a game and although there is way more stuff going on during timeouts and inbetween innings, I still find that nothing gets in the way of that for me,” he says.

He doesn’t mind the luxuries the new developments offer, but doesn’t get wrapped up in the spectacle that happens off the field.

Then again, there are plenty of others to justify the extra amenities. The lines of those willing to miss significant portions of games just for crab fries prove that.

“What we have to do is create the fun here and build on it so maybe when we’re long gone, it really is like a downtown urban stadium,” Luukko says. n

PhillieS FActS: cover Your BASeS Philadelphia baseball traces its roots to North Broad Street. Shibe Park (renamed Connie Mack Stadium) was home to the former Philadelphia Athletics in addition to the Phillies at different points between 1909 and 1970.

Between 1938 and 1954, the two teams shared the stadium.

Up until 1938, the Phillies owned the Baker Bowl at Broad and Lehigh streets, across from what is now SEPTA’s North Broad Station. There’s a historical marker at the site that recalls its history from 1887 until the Phillies moved six blocks west to Shibe Park.

Last year, the Phillies sold 3.6 million tickets. Going into the 2012 season, Phillies ticketing director John Weber and his staff have already managed to sell 3.2 million with the team riding a 204-game sellout streak.

Baseball almost returned north of Market Street back in 2000 where a spot at 12th and Vine streets was considered for a downtown ballpark. At the time, it was expected to cost about $685 million, including land acquisition, demolition and construction of parking garages and required highway improvements. By comparison, Citizens Bank Park cost $458 million to build.

In 2007, the Phillies averaged 38,374 fans per home game—eighth in overall attendance. Since that time, they’ve been able to claim the top attendance title, edging out the New York Yankees by about 300 fans per game.

The Phillies rank as the sixth highest average ticket price among baseball’s 30 teams with the average ticket costing about $36. Premium seats come in around $65.

Field Day Get your tailgate on.

T

SporTS

By Nicole Finkbiner I nfinkbiner@philadelphiaweekly.com

ailgating in this city used to be largely reserved for the Eagles. If people did show up early and party in the parking lots before a Phillies game, it was mainly on the weekends.

But then The Miracle of 2008 happened.

Now, you’ll find folks getting loaded outside Citizens Bank Park at noon on a weekday. In fact, few MLB teams can boast such impressive pregame turnouts like the Phils can. So, for any sad saps out there who have yet to experience the booze-fueled fun and excitement of a Phillies tailgate, we offer you this handy guide.

The Basics: Do’s & Don’ts

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2 • 12

Although many of the tips below are just general common sense, we all know that’s not one of the many endearing traits Philadelphians—especially Philly sports fans—are known for. So it doesn’t hurt to reiterate.

DO choose your spot wisely. Tailgating is only permitted in the parking areas south of Pattison Avenue and east of Darien Street. (lots A–H, J-L, M and N). The Jetro lot (M and N) is considered to be the most tailgate-friendly (in other words, the least family-friendly). So, if you’ve got kiddies, stick to lots A-H or J-L. It costs $15 to park in any of these lots.

DON’T rush. Though the mass exodus from the sports complex would seem to indicate otherwise, no one is going to kick you out of the lot immediately after the game. In fact, you can hang around pretty late. So fire the grill back up, pop open another beer and avoid the rush.

DO be festive. Show the Phils the same over-the-top declarations of team spirit that you do the Birds and come decked out in team apparel and accessories—the more ridiculous, the better. Having some kind of flag, banner or marker in your space will also make it easier for friends to spot you in the sea of tailgaters.

DON’T be an asshole. Although there are undercover cops patrolling the parking lots, fans are pretty much given free rein when tailgating. And we would all like to keep it that way. So if you can’t be civilized, do the city a favor and watch the game from the confines of your home.

DO bring water—and lots of it.

DON’T blast your music. Everyone has the right to tailgate without having their ears violated by your shitty music. Just let them listen to their own.

DON’T rely on the Bow Tie. Even if the

forecast calls for blue skies, play it safe and come equipped with an umbrella, poncho and tarp/tent (which also a good idea for a really hot and sunny day).

DO pace yourself. Remember: You’ve still got a three-hour game ahead of you.

DON’T leave your shit unattended. Even the most scrupulous of Philadelphians can’t be trusted alone around free booze or food.

DON’T drink a beer if you’re not 100 percent sure it’s yours. That’s right, apparently some dudes opt to piss in a container or bottle instead of behind their cars like the rest. To be clear, there are more discreet options for urinating. You just have to walk a few feet.

DO leave your neighbors some room.

There are more than 20,000 parking spaces around CBP. So move the fuck over.

DON’T alarm your car. Lock it, yes. But the chances of someone bumping into your car, setting off the alarm and draining the battery are far greater than someone stealing it.

DON’T give your friends food poisoning.

To avoid a gastrointestinal disaster, don’t leave food sitting out for more than two hours, and keep drinks and food in a separate cooler to avoid cross contamination.

Any uncooked food should be kept on ice until you plan on cooking it.

DO BBQ safely. Whether it’s a dinky tabletop charcoal grill or a big, fancy gas grill, make sure you know how to use it.

Most importantly, remember to give your grill plenty of time to cool before putting it anywhere near your vehicle.

DON’T break the seal—or at least hold it in as long as you can. No matter how many Porta-Potties scattered around the lot, all come with a seemingly perpetual line. Oh, and they’re all absolutely disgusting.

DON’T wear a Mets jersey, especially if you have a Pennsylvania license plate. The fact that you’re a traitor is only going to make it worse.

DO clean up after yourself. Even if your space wasn’t all that clean to begin with.

Food & Drink In short, anything you’d serve at a picnic is ideal fare for a tailgate—hot dogs, hamburgers, pretzels, wings, chips and dip, potato salad, hoagies, nachos, ect. Considering all the stellar food options inside the stadium, you really don’t need to prepare a feast. Depending on the size of your squad and the duration of your tailgating adventure, generally three homemade or prepared dishes with a few lighter snacks

are sufficient. Here are a few recipes that put a unique spin on some basic tailgating staples.

Pop Fly Popcorn (serves 10-12)

Ingredients: 10 to 12 cups popped popcorn 1 cup pecan halves 1 cup slivered almonds 1 1/3 cups sugar 1 cup butter 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Directions: 1. In a large bowl, combine popcorn and nuts; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring sugar, butter and corn syrup to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Remove from the heat; add vanilla, cream of tartar and baking soda. Drizzle over popcorn mixture; stir to coat. Immediately spread onto two greased baking sheets; let dry for about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container. (Courtesy of tasteofhome.com)

Sloppy Dogs (serves 8)

Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 8 hot dogs 8 hot dog buns 1 (15 ounce) can sloppy joe sauce Directions: 1. Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain off grease, and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the sloppy joe sauce, and bring to a simmer.

Add the hot dogs, and cook until heated through.

2. Place hot dogs into buns and cover with the sloppy joe mixture. Eat with a fork, or use just a little bit of the sauce and eat like a regular hot dog.

Beer-Cheese Spread (Serves 10-12)

Ingredients: 1 (2-lb.) block sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 small onion, minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper 1 (12-oz.) bottle amber beer, at room temperature Salt and pepper to taste Thyme sprig for garnish Directions: Beat together first five ingredients at low speed with a heavy-duty electric stand

mixer until blended. Gradually add beer, beating until blended after each addition.

Beat at medium-high speed one minute or until blended and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill two hours. Garnish, if desired. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to two weeks. Serve with crackers or bread.

Beer Punch (Serves 1-2) Ingredients: 1 can of frozen lime-ade concentrate 6-8 oz. tequila 1 bottle of Corona (or similar light beer) 1 can of Sprite (Curtis use diet Sprite) Directions: Empty the concentrate into a large jug filled with ice. Add the tequila. Pour in the beer and soda and BAM!

Fun & Games It’s going to take a lot more than booze and burgers to keep you entertained. So here’s a few of the most beloved pregame activities.

Cornhole/Baggo: There’s a reason it’s become one of the most popular tailgating activities—it’s addicting. Who knew throwing a beanbag into a hole a few feet away actually required skill?

Beer pong: Having established that the parking lot is literally covered in piss, fill cups with cold water instead of beer while keeping a beer on the side. You should also invest in Pongitizer Ball Cleaner (available on Pongitizer.com). Unlike standard disinfecting wipes, they don’t contain chemicals you wouldn’t want to ingest.

Ladder Toss/Ladder Ball/Testicle Toss: If you thinking throwing two balls connected by a string (“bolas”) onto PVC pipes sounds like a game kindergartners could master, you’ve obviously never played.

Ladder Golf/Hillbilly Golf: Exactly like Ladder Toss, but with two golf balls.

Shuffle Shot/Sholf: These two portable outdoor games put a unique spin on shuffleboard. Sholf is played on the ground with golf putters while Shuffle Shot is a played on a tabletop. n

Ultimate frisbee comes to Philly.

By J. Cooper Robb I jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com Brian Canniff

Disc jockeys: Players can overrule the ref if they think a bad call was made.

I P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2 • 14

t used to be that when you mentioned the Spinners and Philadelphia, you were referring to the famed R&B group that recorded at Center City’s legendary Sigma Sound studio in the 1970s. The new Spinners still rely on discs, only now they are the flying variety used by the city’s newest sports franchise, the Philadelphia Spinners.

Combining elements of football, basketball, soccer and rugby, ultimate Frisbee originated in the late 1960s at a high school in nearby Maplewood, N.J. Though the sport has gone international with teams in every corner of the globe, the Spinners will be one of the eight teams participating in the inaugural season of the American Ultimate Disc League.

So what exactly is this game? Even if you’ve never thrown a Frisbee in your life, the rules are relatively

simple. Each squad is comprised of 25 players, though only 20 suit up for any particular game. Seven players are on the field for each team. To score, a team must catch the disc in the opponent’s end zone.

Each score is worth one point and you must advance the disc through the air; you’re not allowed to run with it in your possession. A team loses control of the disc if it hits the ground, is caught out of bounds or is intercepted by the other team.

After each score, there is a kick-off.

Similar to football, different players specialize in either offense or defense, and the quarterback (known as the “handler”) is the most skilled passer on the team.

The Spinners are led by General Manager and Coach Jeff Snader.

Snader, 34, served in the Marines until 2000 and captained the Corp’s rugby team when he was stationed in Hawaii. When he returned home

to Broomall, his brother suggested he give ultimate a try. Hesitant at first, Snader fell in love with the game and after playing for eight years, became coach of Philly’s club team. When the Spinners asked him to be the pro squad’s GM and head coach, it was an offer he couldn’t refuse.

And while he loves the game, “winning is fruitless without integrity.” Luckily, the game has a rule on that, too. The “integrity rule” refers to a player’s ability to overrule a call by the referee, providing the result is not in the player’s favor. “If I catch the disc and I realize my foot is out of bounds and the referee rules the catch is good I can over-rule the referee,” Snader explains. “It is one of the foundations of ultimate that you need to have integrity.” He adds that even with four referees working each AUDL game, making the correct call is difficult considering players can hurl a disc 80 yards in a matter of seconds. “I think the integrity aspect is a wonderful part of the sport considering in other sports, kids are often taught whatever you can get away with is OK if it benefits the team. The players on our team want to win as much as players in any other sport but not if it means sacrificing their integrity.”

Snader says there are more than five million ultimate players nationwide and an estimated 200,000 in the surrounding area who participate in organized leagues.

The AULD is hoping to make fans out of the millions who already enjoy the sport. The team has purposefully kept the ticket prices low (only $14 each), so an entire family can attend without having to take out a second mortgage.

The Spinners’ eight home games will be played at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field beginning with an April 14 clash against the Buffalo Hunters. If all goes well, the team will compete in the championship game on Aug. 11 in Detroit’s Silverdome. n

State of the Union

By Michael Alan Goldberg I mgoldberg@philadelphiaweekly.com

W

ell, it hasn’t been the start Philadelphia Union fans were hoping for, but perhaps the one they feared from the boys in blue as the Chester-based team heads into the 2012 fray after an offseason of upheaval and uncertainty.

A tightly contested first half during the March 12 season opener in dismal, rainy Portland, Ore., turned into a laugher as the Timbers disemboweled the Union’s shaky defense en route to an easy 3-1 victory. And again on Sunday, during their home opener against the Colorado Rapids at a raucous, sold-out PPL Park, the Union seemed well in control of the match until two gut-punching second-half Rapids goals— one of them softer than a baby’s bottom—doomed the Union to a dreadful 2-1 defeat.

So what gives? Can the Union bounce back from these early stumbles and make a serious run at the MLS Cup, or conferwill 2012 be a step back from last year’s third-place confer ence finish and semifinals appearance?

The most glaring difference between this year’s squad and last year’s is the absence of 28-year-old Frenchman (and fan favorite) Sebastien Le Toux, face of the franchise and the Union’s leading scorer in the team’s first two seasons, who was traded to the Vancouver Whitecaps in January. Union head coach Piotr Nowak is hoping to replace that offense via conrecently inked Colombian striker Lionard Pajoy and the con tinuing development of promising forward Danny Mwanga and midfielder Roger Torres.

And, of course, there’s the Freddy Adu factor: Hyped as the Tiger Woods of American soccer when he signed with vetD.C. United in 2004 at age 14, Adu is a grizzled soccer vet eran at 22. But nagged by an ankle injury upon his splashy mersigning with the Union near the end of last season, the mer curial midfielder didn’t show much. And now that he’s been signifiselected to the U.S. Olympic squad, he’s going to miss signifi cant time with the Union this season. How much he can be relied upon to make a real difference is a huge question.

Another crucial roster shakeup: the departure of steady goalkeeper and team captain Faryd Mondragon, and the ascendance of hugely talented but still greenhorn Zac MacMath to starting keeper. He’ll have to be consistently brilliant, and get more help from a thus-far-feeble defense led by Brian Carroll, Danny Califf and Sheanon Williams, for the Union to move themselves into playoff contention.

All in all, the 2012 Union resembles the 2012 Sixers: an exciting youth movement with plenty of potential and solid coaching, but seemingly lacking the bona fide finisher to realistically compete with the elite squads in MLS. Still, with more than 30 matches to go, one of those young talents reacould emerge as a true goal-scoring force, so there’s no rea son to lose hope just yet.

As the Sons of Ben, the Union’s manically devoted supporters group, sings loudly at PPL Park (to the tune of Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend”): “Oh Philly you, you got what I neeeeeeeeed/And we’ll love ya till the end/And we’ll defend the River End.” n

bat to the Future

By John Sharkey III I feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Welcome to a new era in Phillies baseball: little pricks like me bitching about not winning the World Series every year. Let’s get started …

InjurIes The Phils have a potentially nightmarish start to the season with Ryan Howard out until early June and Chase Utley being absent from all spring training activities thus far. We don’t know exactly what’s wrong with Utley, other than his knee is shot. This means certain players are going to have to step-it-the-fuck-up for the first two months. I’m looking at J-Roll, Victorino and Carlos Ruiz to bring a little patience to the game for a while before going back to swinging at the first pitch or popping-up on the infield. The best we can hope for is that the offense can coast on fumes, and that the rotation continue to make hitters looks like total assholes until everyone is healthy, or at least alive.

’m usually filled with optimism when writing my Phillies season preview, but this year there is still a lingering bitterness that hasn’t shaken.

I’m usually fine with losing; it’s not my fucking life, I’m not playing. But something about last season’s seemingly premature end has penetrated my generally stoic take on grown-ass men playing with balls. Even vaguely recalling last year’s exit in the NLDS makes me

recoil and shrivel. The memory of Ryan Howard clutching his freshly torn Achilles after grounding a ball as imposing as a kitten frolicking in the grass right into the hands of a Cardinal still makes me want to burn down a hospital. It was another year with a better roster, but a step backward in post-season embarrassment as far as series advancement.

I know it sounds like the whining of a spoiled panty-waist, and I’ll cop to that.

new blood There weren’t many big moves made in the off-season, but the largest and most notable would have to be the signing of Jonathan Papelbon. Many have scoffed at this acquisition based on the free agent’s contract size (five years and $50 milion), with claims that it’s a lateral move in lieu of Ryan Madson, our former 8th-inning man forced closer. This is pure horseshit. Madson, while effective for the most part, always looked like a virgin about to shit himself when on the mound. Papelbon wants you to die. He has the confidence and killer instinct that I always felt lacking in the closer role (yes, even Brad Lidge).

Coupled with the fact that he’s kind of an asshole, he’s a great fit for this city.

Although I’m sure I’ll want him set on fire after his second blown save.

The bench was also upgraded immensely with the additions of Ty Wiggington and the beloved former Phil, Jim Thome. These guys can barely walk but offer a skill that has been missing for some time: They can put a ball on Mars. This will be a welcomed change from watching Ross Gload or Ben Francisco fart in their own faces with runners in scoring position. I’ll still never forget NLDS Game 3 last year, Benny.

old blood Oh, yeah, and our No. 1 prospect, outfielder Dominic Brown, still blows. He’s dropping fly balls that my sperm could catch and playing down to the level of his farm system opponents this spring.

He’s still all right in my book because he’s the reason we have Hunter Pence, who is sports hernia-free and surely will have some big numbers with a full year in the Phillies Yard. I guess we can also thank the Bearded Lady, Jayson Werth, for this gift, too.

One thing that is still a mystery to me is how our faux-hawked young stunner Vance Worley will fair. Last year, he over-achieved in a spot that most pencil-neck rookies would’ve crumble.

He was tossed into THIS rotation and excelled after Fat Joe Bland Ton wasted our money again with another injury.

He’s looked bang-on this spring but something is still telling me that he could have a shite sophomore year.

With this mercurial offense, he’s probably going to have something like a 9-8 or even a losing record, but a lower ERA than most pitchers would have with that tally. He can give you a solid six innings, which lends itself to someone like new bullpen loiterer RHP Chad Qualls coming in and giving up 60 runs. Vance is a Phil that I am rooting for more than most this year. Now if he’d only learn where the treadmills were at CBP. FInal thoughts Overall, my prediction for this team is that they will either win the World Series or they won’t even win the division. There will be no middle ground.

They are teetering on geriatric but still have more talent than any team in the division, even the new-look-but-whogives-a-fuck-Marlins and the adorable Washington Nationals. It’s just whether or not they decide to dig in and not expect a ring to just be handed to them. They have everything necessary to win and we all know that it doesn’t take much to win a championship these days. Just look at the last two bullshit winners.

Death to those in ILL T-shirts. GO, PHILLIES! n

This Is How We Do It

T

he “This Is How We Do It” monthly dance party celebrates all that is Cross Colors, Bum Equipment and Saved by the Bell. Being touted as the ‘official Nick Carter after-party,’ you can request your favorite ’90s hit by leaving your pick on the event’s Facebook page, and DJ Money Fame Love will keep you happy all night. The little party has graduated in size to the spacious Trocadero with drink specials aplenty; they may even throw some Zima into the mix. Wear your drug-rug, spritz on some CK One and let’s make this thing official. AbiGAil bruley Sat., March 24, 10:30pm-3am. $5.

Poet-tree en Motion Each month, Poet-tree en Motion invites a selection of guest artists to come and showcase their talents, exposing audiences to an eclectic mix of performing arts—song to sideshow and everything in between.

For March, however, the free event series is switching things up a bit and reserving the stage for a lineup of female talent.

Hillaria Goodgame will take you through the evolution of a black woman’s identity through a fusion of poetry, song, dance and live music, while performance artist Monica Day will have you feeling hot and bothered with her honest tales of intimacy and romance. Then, just when you think you’ve had all the stimulation and estrogen you can take, local lady trio the FemmeMynistiques will enchant you with their mystical vocals while the American Tribal belly-dancing troupe Barajagala hypnotize you with their hips.

Deleted Scenes

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2

Deleted Scenes singer-guitarist Dan Scheuerman recently complained to the D.C. quartet’s hometown Washington Post: “We’re too poppy for the weirdos and too weird for the straight-ahead kids.” Dude doth protest too much—there’s a whole pool of music fans right in the middle, who like their indie-pop skewed, scuffed and quirky but still melodic and memorable. The foursome’s recent Young People’s Church of the Air often finds that balance with loopy synth-pop, blissful psych-tropicalia and harmony laden ’60s beach-pop sometimes reminiscent of the Flaming Lips or even John Vanderslice’s mid-’00s offerings. Get there early for the krautrocky shoegaze of Music for Headphones, who also keep it weirdly accessible (or accessibly weird).

Tiffani Thiessen as Saved by the Bell ’s Kelly Kapowski

Part scholar and part comedian, This American Life contributing editor and best-selling author Sarah Vowell skillfully unites critical historical research and won-

derful irreverence. She digs deep into the past in order to find the hidden actors, practices and reasons that cause us to (unknowingly) do the things we do today. In The Wordy Shipmates (2008), she writes about the settlement of Massachusetts by the Puritans and how their belief that they were God’s chosen ones has become detrimentally embedded in America’s political and cultural identity. Tonight, she talks about her new book, Unfamiliar Fishes, which somewhat picks up where Shipmates left off. Here, she sets her sights on the Americanization and colonization of Hawaii, beginning with the arrival of New England missionaries in the early 1800s. Shifting seamlessly between the past and the present, Fishes is both edifying and outrageously witty. ellioTT shArp 7:30pm. Free. Central Library, 1901 Vine St. 215.686.5322. freelibrary.org

Hope Street and Other Lonely Places This month, four of Philly’s top playwrights debut new works including local scribe Genne Murphy, whose play Hope Street and Other Lonely Places is having its world premiere in a production from Azuka Theatre.

Hope Street is the homegrown Murphy’s first full-length play, and it’s appropriate that the city itself is a major character in this story of love, loss and renewal among five individuals divided by their physical and mental addictions. Starring Mary Lee Bednarek as a heroin user searching for a past love, the production team includes set and lighting designer Thom Weaver who is in charge of bringing Philadelphia to life in all its gritty glory. Hope Street runs through April 1, but with tonight’s 2-for-1 special, you can take a friend for free. J. cooper robb 8pm. $15-$27.

The usual podcast crew, Jonah Ray of The Soup and Web Soup and Matt Mira of Attack of the Show, join in on what Hardwick describes as: “A place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It’s also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire.” Sounds a lot different than being a geek. Ashley Kole 10:15pm. $29.50. Trocadero. 1003 Arch St. 215.922.6888. thetroc.com

Music

Bowerbirds After two albums of minimalist gothic Americana, Chapel Hill, N.C.-based trio Bowerbirds court a gentler, sweeter tone on their latest, The Clearing. The subtle baroque touches that dotted earlier efforts are here in force, chasing a pretty chamber-folk vibe abetted by much warmer production than the barren lofi spaciousness they previously favored. The mood’s similarly flip-flopped. The hope and indomitable spirit couched in their haunted rustic paeans turns cold and melancholy, with singer/guitarist Philip Moore trying to “hold tight till spring,” on album highlight “This Year.” This probably reflects his breakup with singer/accordionist Beth Tacular, which delayed the album and nearly (for now) ended the band. chris pArKer

Psychic TV If you told me 25 years ago that the Industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle were going to reform, I would have told you to go poop in your camouflage beret. But, hey! It’s 2012, and not only did we see the reformation of that maniacal unit in the past few years, but it looks like gender bending Gristle leader Genesis P-Orridge is carting around his always onagain/off again post-T.G. troupe Psychic TV as well. PTV have flitted among various genres throughout their existence, but whether doing lollipop psychedelia or four-on-thefloor techno, it has always been a vehicle for P-Orridge’s impenetrably twisted and singular vision. What he has in store for this evening’s performance is anyone’s guess. Oldies? Newbies? Who knows! Just sit back and enjoy the momentary dementia it will cause you. Oh,

Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?

No one can accuse this anthology of being straight-acting. Edited by novelist and troublemaker Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots is an unapologetic ode to drag queens, radical faeries, sissies, trans-men and anyone unwilling to settle for the blandishments of assimilation. All 32 contributors challenge gay men to question the conspicuous consumption and stereotypical masculinity that they contend characterize contemporary gay life. The topics range from AIDS to race, all explored with a combination of honesty, humor and outrage.

To celebrate the book’s release, local contributors CAConrad and Christopher Bartlett will read. Conrad, a poet and 2011 Pew Fellow in the arts, discusses his fatness frankly, simultaneously teasing out the connection between many gay men’s obsession with six-pack abs and the desire to serve in the military. Bartlett, executive director of the William Way Community Center, offers a meditation on the importance of risk-taking that acknowledges both the levity and gravity that, as he points out, were always present in the LGBT community.

Broadway Lights

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2

If you’ve ever fantasized about the bright lights of Broadway while singing show tunes into a hairbrush, this one-time-only workshop is a dream come true. After warming up to some Hairspray and Fosse, energetic Impact Jazz instructor Kathy Silverstri will guide you through 90 minutes of show-stopping choreography, stringing moves together until you’ve mastered a full performance piece.

Participants can go at their own pace, but it’ll be hard not to work up a sweat when you’re listening to hits from Little Shop of Horrors, Mama Mia! and Sister Act. By the end, you’ll dance a complete number set to the hit “Live in Living Color” from the musical Catch Me if You Can! No prior musical theater or dance experience is required, though jazz hands and singing along are highly encouraged. n.F. 12:30pm. $12-$15.

Frank Wess Quintet

Philly saxophonists know where they’ll be this weekend: hearing 90-year-old Kansas City

native Frank Wess, who made his greatest mark with Count Basie’s “New Testament” band from 1953 to 1964. With his flute— just as imposing as his tenor—Wess gave a distinctive sparkle to Neal Hefti’s classic Basie arrangements, helping to carve out a future for postwar big bands on such albums as April In Paris, Atomic Basie and Chairman of the Board. Recent collabs with Hank Jones, Paul Meyers and others show he can still invent blues-drenched melodies for miles. His A-list quintet will feature pianist George Cables, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, bassist Santi Debriano and drummer Victor Lewis. DavID R. aDlER 8pm. $25.

They Live

Youth Lagoon Even the people who fell for Youth Lagoon’s wavery, watery debut, The Year of Hibernation, said it sounded like a bedroom record. Pitchfork’s Mark Richardson called it a “record for pulling up the covers and dreaming,” hardly the kind of thing that makes you want to rush out to a show. Still, this is Trevor Powers’ moment, the time when his diffuse, self-reflective songs speak for a wary generation and when “Montana,” the big climax, urges 20-somethings in dead-end towns everywhere off the couch, out of the rec room and into a big, wide romantic world of their own making.

Chili Cookoff Fifteen Fishtown residents have been chosen as the neighborhood’s finest chili cookers, and they’ll be putting their best batch up against 10 of Fishtown’s finest restaurants in a battle of the beans. Prizes will be awarded for “Best Restaurant Chili” and “Best Homemade Chili,” but it’ll be up to a panel of local celebrity judges to decide which cook—amateur or professional—walks away with the grand prize. And since you’ll need something to alleviate the fire in your mouth as you test the 25 different types of chili, Philadelphia Brewing Company and Saint Benjamin’s Brewing will provide refreshments while Metropolitan Bakery will bring some of its delicious bread to cleanse your palate. Proceeds from the event will go toward the formation of the new RiverWards CrimeWatch as well as FNA programming. n.F. 1pm. $10-$15. The Skybox at 2424 Studios, 2424 E.

Featuring Joffrey and fellow performers Tami Dixon and Phyllis Johnson, the play spans conflicts that include the Armenian Holocaust in 1915 and the brutal El Salvadoran Civil War in the 1980s.

Nat Baldwin Singer-songwriter and double-bassist Nat Baldwin is probably best known for playing bass in the knotty, lauded Brooklyn indie-rock ensemble Dirty Projectors and doing studio work with Vampire Weekend. But there’s so much more to Mr. Baldwin than just holding down the low end and looking cool. For one thing, he’s a protégé of legendary jazz composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton. YOU DON’T GET TO HANG WITH A LEGEND LIKE THAT UNLESS YOU GOT SOME CHOPS, SON! Baldwin can saw his bass with the best of ’em, he has a rich and engaging tenor, and his orchestral pop will make you swoon. Also, he recorded his fourth LP, People Changes, in the wilds of Maine, so he’s got some Bon Iver shit goin’ on. Hellooooo, Grammys! mIchaEl alan GolDbERG 8pm. $10. With Extra Life.

Grant Hart You gotta feel for Grant Hart. As the hippified barefoot drummer for Husker Du, he smacked the hell out of his drums for most of the ’80s.

He penned plenty of their songs too. His sweet voice was the one on all those tender tunes.

Ya know, the ones that ended up on mixtapes for prospective bedroom partners. But while Bob Mould, his counterpoint on guitar, has received some acclaim in his post-Du life, Hart has released a string of albums that you’re more likely to find in the cut-out bin than to hear performed on late-night television. Now’s as a good a time as any to check in with the guy and show that you still care. Besides, openers Gods & Queens claim to have some Husker covers in their reportoire, so it could turn out to be a memorable evening. RIchIE chaRlES 8pm. $10. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N.

n John Carpenter’s classic genrecrossover film They Live (1988), which screens tonight at Wooden Shoe Books, drifter Nada (played by kilt-wearing professional wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper) gets his paws on one helluva pair of sunglasses.

When Nada slips ’em on he can see the real messages hidden on billboards, television and various forms of media. When he flips through a magazine while wearing the shades, he doesn’t see ads for Coke, cereal, cars and clothes, but commands like “CONFORM,” “CONSUME,” “NO IMAGINATION” and “DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY.” And he sees the word “OBEY” everywhere, which inspired artist Shepard Fairey’s OBEY sticker design (and, ironically, his clothing company by the same name). Not only does Nada see “through” media, but he also sees that some humans—namely the wealthy ones and politicians—aren’t really humans. They’re aliens and they’re controlling us.

You’re Quite the Dish

S’More Doughnut at Federal Donuts

It Takes the Village Chef Jason Cichonski’s Ela is an ambitious addition to Queen Village.

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com You’re quite the breakfast treat, S’More Doughnut at Federal Donuts!

S’Mores are an American institution like apple pie, but please don’t write that down. Pie already gets enough press: it’s doughnut time.

Very well. What makes you such a stand-out amongst your cake-forbreakfast brethren?

While my concept is nothing new—simply roasted marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers—it’s the technique used to capture that campfire-y goodness that makes me so unique.

I think I have this figured out. Whole doughnut, roasted over a campfire.

Not exactly. Real marshmallows are roasted with a creme brulee torch to get that crispy exterior and gooey center. Then, the toasted ’mallows are turned into a puree then mixed with confectioners sugar, at a precise ratio, to get my roasty, toasty glaze.

OK, then you’re stuffed between some graham crackers and chocolate?

Please—I’m much more sophisticated than that. I’m topped with buttered, toasted graham cracker crumbles and drizzled with a chocolate ganache. Campfire not needed.

You’re pretty crafty. Are there any tricks to get your flavor just right?

To avoid a sickeningly sweet glaze, I’m seasoned with a bit of salt.

So what is the real difference between you and the chain doughnut shops?

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2

I’m hot and fresh, made to order with an antique “doughnut robot” that can pop out 300 to 400 donuts in an hour. Plus, I’m a cake-batter doughnut which is typically denser than a yeast donut; however, the fine folks at Federal have modified the cake-batter recipe for the perfect texture and density.

I just have to ask: I haven’t had any yet so how can I have some more of nothing?

For real? A Sandlot joke? This interview is over...

[At this point, S’More Doughnut stormed out of the bakery and was met by a steaming hot cup of coffee. I’m told he’ll be available on the menu for the next few weeks.]

Truffle shuffle: Cichonski’s truffle banh cam shows a sense of maturity far beyond the chef’s years.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a Philadelphia chef with as wide a range of references at his disposal as Jason Cichonski. By turns, he channels the creativity of the greats of Europe— Ferran Adria, Rene Redzeki—and the precision of French Laundry’s Thomas Keller. And yet his cooking never comes off as forced or devotional. Instead, it’s a natural expression of his range of experiences and hyper-creative mind processing the entirety of our contemporary restaurant world into something unique and personal.

That said, the best dishes at Cichonski’s Ela are generally the most seemingly classic ones, where modern touches were couched in a context of necessity. The skate arrived curled up like some sort of loose nautilus shell, its butter-browned flank a visual reference to the addictive whole-grain mustard crisps off to the side. Pureed sunchoke added further nuttiness to main components that alone would have been a pleasant and earth-toned composition. But like the best chefs, Cichonski often adds a final twist. Here it’s a vivid tangle of vinegary cabbage braised with mulling spices. This was the spark that ignited the other flavors on the plate. Nothing fancy, nothing precious: just cabbage, treated with respect and wit. Gorgeous.

A massive portion of thick, subtly gamy duck magret, the center glistening like a ruby, found its counterpart in a silky puree of smoked butternut squash. Alongside the ingenious scatter of pretzel spaetzle, it embodied the flavors of winter—a hearty, comforting plate that will remind me why I love coldweather food when I finally start to miss it again in June.

Tender, sweet veal hip managed a similar feat with its flavor

spectrum of underappreciated parsley root and the soulful scent of pumpernickel risotto. Foie gras—marinated in sherry vinegar and root beer overnight—is served as a whisper-light mousse, the sweetness and crunch provided by black-sesame biscotti, the bite by charred radicchio, pomegranate and mint salad.

Cichonski’s banh cam—the beloved glutinous rice and mung bean spheres of Vietnam—are made his own with the addition of truffle and rosemary for aromatics, white beans instead of mung, and mashed potato flakes for texture. The result is reminiscent of an oversized, gnocchi-like orb encased in a lace-thin carapace, a fresh, successfully idiosyncratic homage. It’s a dish that shows a sense of maturity far beyond Cichonski’s years.

But not everything was seamless. With certain dishes, it seemed chef used clever techniques that did not produce the payoff he’d hoped for. Diver scallop “noodles” were clever and fun, but I’m not convinced I enjoyed them any more than I would have a classically seared one.

The flavor maintained its integrity, and the texture was indeed a surprise, but the dish as a whole left me wanting.

Gouda sauce with the gnocchi failed to counterbalance the almost overwhelming sweetness of the dates and the caramel, which was a shame: The first two bites were revelatory. After that, it grew too sweet.

But those quibbles are matters of personal taste. Either way, they spring from a deeply creative mind that’s willing to take risks. Greatness rarely manifests itself otherwise.

And this is a kitchen that’s capable of sending out remarkable food no matter how simple it may seem. A bright puff of shaved kale salad, with its smoky bacon and charred onions, was an unexpected highlight of a recent meal at Ela. Salmon carpaccio was given the space to show its inherent personality without too much make-up; the remarkably subtle cardamom-scented sauce framed it perfectly, but didn’t steal the spotlight. Red-wine-poached strawberries with petite shortbread rounds, ginger and white chocolate reframed strawberry shortcake into something wholly new and spectacularly delicious.

This ambitious restaurant in the former Ansill space in Queen Village is well on its way to becoming one of the city’s most interesting, rewarding destinations. With a bit of fine-tuning—and a wine list edited to better serve this remarkable food—this will be yet another jewel in Philadelphia’s crown. Get in while you can. I have a feeling, in another few months, once the national press “discovers” it, landing a table will be a justifiably difficult endeavor. n

Miller time: Well-known performance artist Tim Miller will perform his new work, Lay of the Land, at the festival. Paul S. Gomes’ You’re Gonna Cry (right) explores the effects of gentrification in San Francisco.

41

s great as theater in Philadelphia is, it doesn’t allow local theatergoers to regularly experience works being produced in other parts of the county. If you wanted to see that kind of theater, you basically had three choices: the Kimmel Center’s Broadway Series; the occasional work presented by the Annenberg Center (often spectacular but only occuring a couple times each season); or wait until September for the mega Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe. Luckily, all that changes beginning March 27, when the InterAct Theater Company stages its Outside the Frame: Voices from the Other America festival.

Featuring eight productions on two stages at the Adrienne, the shows represent a wide range of perspectives, with one common thread: the exploration of identity in America.

Keeping with InterAct’s mission to promote cultural diversity, Artistic Director Seth Rozin says the company wanted to include works that represented an array of racial, ethnic and cultural communities. The hope is that audiences that don’t typically go to a lot of theater will be drawn to what InterAct is offering, Rozin says. “When you do one play you typically have a particular community that will be interested in the story the play tells,” says Rozin. “With the festival we can market the shows to a variety of communities.”

Of course, none of this matters if the shows aren’t any good. The festival includes six productions making their Philly debut and one world premiere. (One of the slots is occupied by Young Voices, which InterAct is co-presenting with Philadelphia Young Playwrights, featuring monologues written by area students and performed by professional actors.)

The works include Antigua-born playwright/performer Iyaba Ibo Mandingo’s unFramed (March 30-April 1), in which Mandingo tells his story of life as an immigrant in post-9/11 America while simultaneously painting his self-portrait on stage.

Palestine (April 17-19) is a new work from self-described “Palestinian-American princess” Najla Said, who travels to the Middle East in search of “her deeper identity as an Arab-American woman.” Another production of note is writer/performer Paul S. Gomes’ You’re Gonna Cry (March 30-April 1). Created by Gomes to explore the violent effects of gentrification in a Latino San Francisco neighborhood at the height of the dot-com boom, the production includes a musical “gangster puppet show” in which Gomes uses puppets representing brands of malt liquor named after violent actions or objects (Colt-45, King Cobra etc). Gomes says he created Cry to highlight the difficulties that arise when new cultural values are forced on an established ethnic community.

One show that Rozin says crystallizes the festival’s goal to present voices not typically heard on local stages is Draw the Circle (April 4-8), created by transgender theater artist Deen. The only work that InterAct is producing, Circle tells the story of an Indian Muslim family in America struggling to come to terms with the fact that their second child is not the daughter they thought she was. A compelling and heartfelt play that exposes the ignorance and misconceptions that a transgender person is confronted with on a daily basis, Deen says that his goal with Circle is to “gently move the world toward being a more accepting place for queer and transgender kids.” Doing so, he says, requires people to be open about their identity.

The four-week festival is something entirely new for InterAct, which usually has a four-show season. And with the exception of gay performance artist Tim Miller (who is performing his new work, Lay of the Land (April 12-15), which exposes the “systematic homophobia” in America), the storytellers, performance artists and monologists at the festival are not big-name performers with huge national followings.

The productions are small, often solo affairs. Yet the themes they explore are big, to say the least.

Rozin says that from a financial standpoint, presenting other people’s work costs about 30 percent less than producing a play from scratch. But money is just a small part of it, he says. The festival format helps shine a light on the people most Americans are unfamiliar with. “We want to present people and stories that aren’t being showcased in the mainstream media,” Rozin says. n

wo solo shows at the Philadelphia Art Alliance invest hours of labor in the reconfiguration of modest objects that most of us live with every day: books and cloth.

In Found Subjects by Philly-bred and San Diego-based designer Sondra Sherman, exquisite pieces of handcrafted jewelry sit nestled in books from decades ago forgotten. “It doesn’t quite look like a jewelry show when you see it,” says Chief Curator Sarah Archer, who joined the Art Alliance in July. “Jewelry is hard to display in a gallery setting. It is usually displayed on a person.” Far away from the bodies they might usually adorn, Sherman’s jewelry lives in a library. “What I love about this project is that it plays with the idea of where jewelry lives,” Archer says.

Over the course of several years, Sherman carefully cut out pages from

found books in order to form perfect nests for every piece of jewelry. Each pendant loosely corresponds with the graphics and themes of the book in which it is placed. An airplane charm sits inside a map book, its chain trailing over Africa like a flight chart. A fringed oval locket placed in “Julia Newberry’s Diary” echoes the oval-shaped setting of Newberry’s portrait on the opposing page. Nestled in books rather than dangling from a neck, these pendants aren’t immediately recognizable as jewelry— they’re more blatantly sculptural.

“This installation challenges you to really look at the jewelry as an object in space and not just an object to be worn,” says Archer, referring to the fact that the books and the lecterns on which they rest are just as much a part of the artwork as the jewelry itself. But the focus, of course, is still the jewelry. The

pieces are undeniably beautiful and their fugitive relationship to the books gives them a secretive air. Like childhood treasures stowed in DIY safes, Sherman’s jewelry glints with forbidden allure. “She liked the idea that jewelry kind of lives a double life,” says Archer. “It sits in a box and then it goes out into the world with people wearing it.”

Richmond-based fiber artist Andrea Donnelly’s exhibition, Binary, also explores the theme of doubles. Weaving biomorphic abstractions that read like Rorschach tests, Donnelly plays with the structure of weaving to subtly modify its internal logic. This means dealing with warp and weft, the inherent double on which the process of weaving is built.

“Body Blot #1” (2011) is the result of an arduous process of weaving, unweaving and reweaving. After photographing herself in different poses, Donnelly re-

produces her favorite gestures in woven cloth. Typically rendered in muted blues, grays or purples, these colored forms undergo a further dilution when Donnelly removes the warp (the vertical threads) from the initial weaving in order to weave a mirror image of the first shape using the original dyed warp. “My real interest in mirroring is not in perfect symmetry,” says Donnelly, “but in the subtle to not-so-subtle disruption of that symmetry.” Displayed side by side, it’s easy to see what she means: the shape on one panel is woven entirely of horizontal threads (the weft) while the other is comprised only of vertical threads (the warp). The alteration is nearly indiscernible, but the shift makes all the difference. We’re simultaneously invited into her process and mesmerized by the rhythm of her unorthodox forms.

In “Shift,” (2010), the centerpiece of the show, Donnelly uses a technique known as “warp painting” to individually dye each vertical thread as she weaves.

Reflecting on the significant time investment that such a piece demands, Donnelly writes: “Weaving is a solitary process: I see mood, quiet presence, and the passage of time in the subtle irregularities of a hand-woven structure.” If you get close enough to her remarkable weavings, you will, too. ■

Spring Art Preview A guide to what’s happening in and out of our galleries this season.

By Katherine Rochester

krochester@philadelphiaweekly.com

Institute of Contemporary Art

Typically, it’s only permissible to outfit your children with masks and turn them out to the streets on Halloween. But for little-known photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard (American 1925-1972), Halloween came early and stayed late. The optician from Lexington, Ky., routinely persuaded his family to don masks and pose in abandoned buildings or landscapes near his home. The resulting series of black-and-white photographs, “The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater,” gives the wholesome family portrait an X-Files twist: children leer at the camera with the shrunken faces of the elderly; adults sport the ghoulish mien of Frankenstein.

Comprised of nearly 60 photographs from his last body of work, Meatyard casts the family unit as a monstrous but captivating oddity.

May 19-Aug. 5. Philadelphia Museum of Art, 26th St. and the Benjamin Franklin Pkwy.

The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History

Eastern State Penitentiary

Aiming to show that queer history didn’t begin with Stonewall and extends far beyond San Francisco, this traveling month-long exhibit will bring to light the rich, long and largely unknown histories of queer communities both in Philly and across the globe. Some of the individual exhibits include a documentation of the use of drag in Mummers’ parades dating back to the 1880s, a sculptural memorial for queer communities in Uganda threatened by a proposed law that makes queerness punishable by death and a video history project about the lives of black lesbian elders.

April 21-May 19. William Way Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. 215.732.2220. waygay.org

The former prison has commissioned internationally acclaimed Philly-based artist Judith Schaechter to design 17 stained-glass windows that will be installed in cell blocks. Filtering light from the outside through jewel-toned panes of ornately wrought glass, Schaechter’s “The Battle of Carnivale and Lent” (2012) addresses the psychological and physical trauma of the Eastern State’s history via a secular iconography modeled on religious penance. Schaechter’s is one of 11 art installations that will be on view during regular admission hours for the 2012 season.

Opens April 1. Eastern State Penitentiary, 2027 Fairmount Ave. easternstate.org

As the title might suggest, First Among Equals takes a deliberately ambivalent stance toward the notion that artistic collaboration sows harmony. Drawing on artists who work in groups and pairs, this intriguing exhibition examines the work of Los Angeles- and Philadelphia-based artists who model different strategies for collaborative work. “We wanted to think about community in flexible terms,” says Alex Klein, who co-curated the show with Kate Kraczon. In practice, this often meant opening up aspects of the curatorial process to the core group of nine participating artists and artist groups, who used their newfound freedom to involve countless other artists from their own circles. Whether solicited by mail (Mateo Tannatt), reproduced in copies (Alex Da Corte), performed (Bodega), read (Machete Group), spatially adjustable (Marginal Utility), or interactively inscribed in a virtual plane (Extra Extra), Equals is packed with compelling propositions for how artists might support and provoke one another.

AUX at Vox Populi

• 44

Forget dinner and a movie. Make it a drag show and movie at AUX, Vox Populi’s dedicated live-arts space that opened last year. For one night only, AUX will screen N.Y.C.-based artist Michelle Handelman’s film Dorian, accompanied by a live performance by co-starring actor and famed drag performer Flawless Sabrina. Teasing out the queer undertones in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, Handelman’s multi-channel video installation plays with expectations, reversing the gender of characters as well as conceptions about the values of high art versus pop culture.

April 28. AUX at Vox Populi Gallery, 319 N. 11th St. 215.238.1236. voxpopuligallery.org

You’ve heard of staycations. Here’s an itinerary for you: Visit 51 public art sculptures in Philadelphia. Would it sweeten the deal if I told you that flashlight mobs, tango, bike rides and giant balloons were also involved? If so, then the Fairmount Part Art Association has your number. Throughout the month of April, Site Seeing—aimed at acquainting Philadelphians with our impressive public art patrimony—invites participants to venture out on various family friendly art excursions around the city.

Stroll down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway or coast through Fairmount Park, all with a new eye to the sculptures that make Philadelphia one of the country’s top 10 presenters of public art.

Six Pack Six Futuristic Films Where Society Watched Ultraviolent Sports

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Rollerball (1975): As a helpful reminder that modern sports are only a body count away from the gory gladitorial bouts of yesteryear, sci-fi scenarists love to dream up dystopian amusements in which the good old Roman bloodlust has made a comeback. The Production Code-less ’70s yielded this lugubrious tut-tutter, which predicts that by 2018 the world will be controlled by corporations, and the masses will be in thrall to a tweak of roller derby that includes motorcycles, body armor and players getting brain damage or worse. Luckily, today no one watches games in which the players are routinely put in harm’s way.

Death Race 2000 (1975): The same year as Rollerball, the Roger Corman factory upchucked this nastier, sprightlier number, in which the masses of a fascist U.S., undone by a financial crisis, take comfort in a cross-country melee of pimped-out rides. Characteristically, Corman followed it with 1978’s inferior Futuresport, also with David Carradine, while the inevitable remake had the cajones to jettison the part when drivers amass points by mowing over pedestrians. (Geriatrics and children net the higher scores, natch.)

The Running Man (1987): It’s 2017 and a financial crisis—are we sensing a pattern here?—has wrought a totalitarian state in which everyone gets their jollies watching criminals tussle with gimmicky assassins. A novel by one Richard Bachman is pounded into a kitschy Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, and directed by David Starsky, no less.

Robot Jox (1990): Actually, it would be pretty stellar if the world’s nations, instead of staging wars, parlayed their aggressions into mega-sized games of Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots. Hopefully with a bigger budget than here.

To control the masses, teens must fight to the death in The Hunger Games.

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com niss’ oft-eye-rollingly purple narration, which is to humanity’s benefit.

Playing a slightly more vulnerable and shell-shocked version of her steely teen in Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence embodies Katniss, who volunteers for the games as a replacement for her young sister.

Capable and a little arrogant, she finds her considerable skills with weaponry and survival aren’t enough. At the suggestion of her mentor, Haymitch Abernathy (the futuristic names sometimes try too hard), a boozy, cynical former Games champ played by Woody Harrelson, she’ll have to appeal to the audience and, more importantly, to “sponsors.” The more they like her, the more gifts—water, seemingly magical ointments, food— they’ll have airdropped into the playing field as easy plot solutions.

Buried inside The Hunger Games is a very savage, very funny satire.

Like the book, the movie—handled

The kills—despite being in The Hunger Games. totally obscured by a combination of shakycam and Cuisinart editing—hurt, especially if the deceased is a button-cute 12-year-old.

The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye Grade: B Review by Matt Prigge What becomes of the aging avantgarde pyro? He buys himself tits, apparently. In 1993, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, frontman for Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, married nurse and singer Lady Jaye. Soon thereafter, following the windfall from a legal settlement, the two embarked on a series of surgical procedures that literalized the notion that marriage makes two into one. Merely having a deep, mean-

Delicacy Grade: B

By Matt Prigge

• 48

The rules of cinema dictate that if your film opens with lovers wallowing in one another’s happiness, before the first reel is up, one of them will be dead. So it goes with Delicacy, whose initial stretch depicts the beamingly wondrous life of young lovers Nathalie (Audrey Tautou) and François (Pio Marmaï) from meet-cute to early marriage. When François goes out for a casual run, it’s no shock it winds up

ingful connection wasn’t enough: they had to look like one another—or as like one another as possible, given Genesis was both 20 years Jaye’s senior and considerably girthier. Some facial reconstruction and two boob jobs later, and the pair had melded into near-doppelgangers—a single dye-blonde “pandrogynous being,” although only one of them still had to habitually put razor to face stubble.

This fit of living performance art was cut short in 2007 with Jaye’s untimely death, and her passing leaves a fascinating conceptual hole in The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye. Less an informational doc than an allusive portrait, it’s comprised entirely of

expertly diced-up 16mm home movies recorded without sound while the surviving half narrates. But the film’s shocking-to-most hook takes a backseat, as does Jaye herself. Instead, Genesis largely talks about himself and his career, periodically mentioning humanizing details, like how his kids responded to the surgeries by asking why the money wasn’t spent on buying them new cars.

The director, Mary Losier, has a history of making short films with Guy Maddin and the Kuchar Brothers, making her uniquely qualified to “get” Genesis’ and Lady Jane’s world. But she doesn’t operate as a third party; instead of making it accessible to outsiders, she goes deeper inside. Rather than a block of exposition, Ballad, as per the title, operates as an enveloping experience, a roll-around in the intimate space of two people who’ve created their own reality. Losier’s approach is nonjudgmental as well as unsentimental, and rather than simply relate this crazy story, she creates her own work of art; turn off the sound and the film’s just as striking. She treats the outlandish as near-normal, making it seem like expressing love through mutual surgical procedures is the most obviously romantic act one could do. n

his last. Quite a bit less predictable is that, after three years and a handful of screen minutes of grieving, Nathalie will whimsically shove her tongue in the mouth of a slovenly stranger from Sweden.

We haven’t seen Markus (François Damiens)—a hulking, balding, mouthbreathing, vaguely cloddish sad bachelor with over-prominent teeth, the type who ordinarily wouldn’t even be in the supporting cast of an ostensibly cute Audrey Tautou movie—before the time he arrives in Nathalie’s office, roughly 40 minutes in. His arrival, and his establishment as a permanent fixture in the narrative, is a good indi-

cation of Delicacy’s agreeably restless nature, and the way it likes to playfully confound our expectations. We think we have the film down pat—that it will be boilerplate bereavement porn— only to have it change focus and even protagonists. Delicacy begins in the head of François, lusting after Nathalie in a cafe, before shifting to her and then over to someone who wasn’t even established until the film was well under way and into an altogether different groove.

That’s not to say Delicacy reinvents the wheel; in fact the style is often mere window-dressing. Directors David and Stéphane Foenkinos (who adapted the film from the former’s bestseller), avoid some pat the-hottie-from-Amélie-dates-anugly-dude scenario, with Markus gradually revealing himself to be a charmingly aloof eccentric, played with oft-kilter timing by the Belgian Damiens. But they don’t replace this void with anything that’s particularly novel. It’s not lacking in winning details, however: this may be the first movie that shows someone deleting their deceased spouse from their cell phone contacts. The same goes for a scene where Markus gets revved up for romantic pursuit by watching an (unsubtitled) Obama stump speech on TV. Delicacy is more likable than memorable, but likable will do. n

21 Jump Street Grade: B Review by Matt Prigge Toward the outset of the inevitable 21 Jump Street, a police chief—played with typically laid-back imperiousness

by Nick Offerman—mentions assigning our two heroes (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) to a program that’s been revamped from the ’80s. No one has any new ideas, he deadpans, and the hope is no one notices the concept has been microwaved. Of course, making a po-mo joke about conceptual laziness is in itself lazy, and thus far it seems this ’80s revamp will be par for course in a genre whose predominant adjective is “half-assed.” As it turns out, 21 Jump Street is a rarity, proving even more relentlessly inventive than it is faithless to its dodgy source.

For starters, the creative team (including Hill, cocredited with the story) has turned the early Fox drama where Tiger Beat poster boys—one of them a secret serious thespian—pretended to have true grit into an all-out comedy. Moreover, they’ve made the narrative engagingly snaky. Hill and Tatum, who graduate from police academy only to be assigned dispiriting park bike duty, wind up relocated to a program for undercover high school narcs solely because they were so overjoyed by their first bust they forgot to issue Miranda Rights. Once in school, the pair accidentally mix up their fake names, meaning Hill suffers through track and field and misty-eyed drama class, while Tatum gets stuck with nerd classes. While the once-dorky Hill gets to retry high school and woos a (just-of-age) hottie (Brie Larson), Tatum spends the movie bro’ing down with science dorks. Tatum is shocked to discover his slacker-and-nerds concept of school has, thanks to Glee, been replaced by comic books, environmentalism and two-strap backpack-wearing.

Steven Soderbergh has dedicated two of his (alleged) final films to Tatum, and 21 Jump Street reveals that’s not as crazy as it sounds: much like Brad Pitt, beneath this square-jawed meat slab lies a sly, weird comic mind.

My favorite running gag has Tatum excelling at science while never realizing it’s not pronounced “Ap” Chemistry.” This beefcake improbably out-funnies Hill, and his low-key-amusing work stands in contrast to a film whose operating principle is to never let the film be not entertaining. Every scene has been conceived so as to include one wacky/off-kilter/unique element; no scene can be cliched, or if it is, it’s to be tweaked with sarcasm or, better, some unexpected element. This can lead to shrillness; needless to say, a car chase that boasts Hill clad in a Peter Pan leotard is trying too hard. But in a genre that rarely tries, trying too hard just about evens things out.

And besides, funny is funny. n

Odd Squad A track-by-track review of Odd Future Tape Volume Two.

By Elliott Sharp

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com tions of its lyrics. (Example: “Goddamn I love bitches/ Especially when they only suck dick and wash dishes.”)

But the combined anger of a thousand P.C. Think Pieces only fed the beast, ultimately making it stronger. For this is a monster that thrives equally on positive and negative attention. Gucci’s security guard learned that strangling Tyler was not a solution, and angry reviews pointing out Odd Future’s misogynistic, homophobic and nihilistic themes also aren’t enough to suppress the rabid, but resilient, squad.

The demand now made of Odd Future is that they must musically prove themselves worthy of our attention. Can they make a good rap record and grow beyond the shock?

This week sees the release of Odd Future’s The OF Tape Vol. 2, and a tour that stops by the Electric Factory this Friday. Maybe, in both, these questions can be answered.

Below, tiny summaries of each new track on the new album. SWAG!

“Hi” L-Boy talks mad shit about all OF members to hammer home the fact that words will never hurt them.

“Bitches”

Pump Up the Volume (2): One of four alternate covers for the new album.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y Ma r c h 2 1 - 2 7, 2 01 2 • 50

A video emerged earlier this month of Tyler, the Creator—the chief of Los Angeles rap collective Odd Future—wilding out onstage during an L.A. concert by Atlanta trap rapper Gucci Mane. When Tyler starts manically pogoing too close to the Brick Squad boss while he’s performing “Photo Shoot,” a security guard wraps his hand around the young rapper’s throat, drags him stage left, lifts him off his feet and tosses him into the crowd like a dirty tissue. Seconds later, Tyler leaps back onstage and, while sporting a God-sized shit-eating grin, thrashes and headbangs until he kamikazes headfirst into the audience.

The moral? Odd Future are resilient. Not only are they immune to good old-fashioned physical violence, but also to traditional forms of critique. They’ve been repeatedly criticized for lacking rap skills, for being all shock appeal, no substance—see the “Yonkers” music video in which Tyler pukes after eating a giant bug and then hangs himself; a so-called “riot” incited from the roof of Boston’s Newbury Comics; militantly unapologetic anti-P.C. lyrics/Tweets/interviews; a police report filed against Left Brain by a female photographer who claims to have been slapped in the face while shooting a performance at New Orleans’ Voodoo Experience fest; and Tyler himself arrested on vandalism charges following a hometown gig in December. The list goes on.

This is certainly a valid critique considering Odd Future kept the press on its toes all last year with their gonzo antics and Internet memes, but never truly wowed with their music. Tyler’s Goblin debut was mostly praised when it dropped last May, though by December all anyone remembered were the problematic ethical implica-

Above bass thumps and wanky synths, Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats swap bars swimmingly, showing their ability to counterpoint the beat and their tempo adaptability.

“NY (Ned Flander)” Tyler raps about giving someone a handjob in a bath tub— only if the price is right—and a rubber ducky/blowjob combo he received from groupies in Kentucky.

“Ya Know” The Internet, the sub-project of Matt Martian and female member Syd tha Kyd, drops a neo-soul cut that, much like their Purple Naked Ladies debut, sounds careless and tired.

“Forest Green”

A nasally Mike G raps swell on a head-nodding beat but this song’s about nothing, and not in that cool Seinfeld way.

“Lean” Hodgy and Domo return to prove they have the best chemistry of any OF pairing on this shit-talking track: “Niggas claim to be scenic/ But I know they ain’t seen shit.”

“Analog 2”

Bizarrely split in two by silence and a metronome, Tyler revisits a deconstructed version of Goblin’s “Analog,” first with Frank Ocean crooning about a ménage à trois with Nicki Minaj (hehe), and then with Syd singing about fucking on the roof of a treehouse.

“50”

“Fuck the police, break the law,” raps Hodgy, wilding out with Left Brain on the album’s first semi-Flocka, hyperaggro track, in which they proceed to fuck up everyone, including your grandmother.

“Snow White” Hodgy spits furiously about preferring velcro to duct tape on an abrasively hypnotic beat until interrupted by howling, barking, big bad wolves and Ocean’s dada chorus about unsafe playgrounds as white noise appropriately devours EVERYTHING.

“Rello”

An explosively paranoid, funhouse beat and raging raps from Hodgy, Domo and a knock-knock joke-telling Tyler, this all-killer track’s the stand-out; as Hodgy claims, the “fortress is fortified.”

“Real Bitch”

This second track with the “B” word in the title will be the one to piss off Think Piece writers, and it’s also an all-filler throw-away track.

“P”

“I’m a golden curse, call me treacherous treasure chest/ Better yet, I build onto the beat like Tetris,” raps Hodgy, proving with one of the album’s best lines he might be OF’s best rapper.

“White”

Frank Ocean’s responsible for some absurd hooks (see his Nostalgia: Ultra) that disrupt the predictability of contemporary R&B. Here, he sings about interplanetary invasion and faded love as he did on “Strawberry Swing,” but his voice lacks depth and range, as this solo track proves.

“HCAD”

This is what current trap-rap beats would sound like if Lex Luger came from Mars, not Virginia; switching from human to monster voice, Tyler says “Fuck hip-hop.”

“Sam (Is Dead)”

It sounds like there’s a Rhodes keyboard buried under the pummeling brass, and Tyler points that out (“Bring in the horns/ You hear that fucking brass?”) before dropping the name Geppeto for the album’s second children’s lit reference (see “Snow White”).

“DOMS”

Domo spits that “Bruce Wayne flow” on a clanking, clapping, overblown-bass/synth beat but eventually gets too high to finish: “And I’m higher than an Asian’s score on the SATs/ And, aaaah, whatever.”

“We Got Bitches”

This third track with the “B” word in the title is a comically (and intentionally) ignorant mixtape-rap song in the spirit of Black Sheep’s “U Mean I’m Not.”

“Oldie”

On this 10.5 minute-long posse cut, the only Wolf to earn a New Yorker feature Earl the Sweatshirt, makes a highly anticipated appearance; he immediately sets a sheriff’s whip ablaze and proclaims he’s “back like lateral passing.” Like it or not, Odd Future’s back, too. n Odd Future perform Fri., March 23, 8:30pm. $30.
