Singing the Brews Regarding last week’s survey of local celebrity beer drinkers: They included a good number of clueless, unadventurous beer drinkers. I’m surprised none of them mentioned Bud Light in those sweet, blue bottle/can deals you find all over the street, but you know those must be great because of the way they make people go “Woooooo!” when they drink them. I understand the point wasn’t to interview people inside the Philly beer scene, but some of these are like promoting restaurant week by talking to folks about their love of Campbell’s soup and Wendy’s burgers. Other articles about beer week have been about establishing Philly as a premier beer city. I think this one shows how far we have to go yet. Most people are still staring at the back of the cave. JB, via philadelphiaweekly.com
Rebel Yell Regarding Leah Blewett’s review of Rebel Rock Bar & Bites: I’ve been to Rebel a few times and the food has been outstanding. The tap tables looked as though they were keeping their occupants VERY satisfied. I’d like to try them the next time I go. I found the service at the bar to be excellent. The PA system sounded amazing! I have to applaud Rebel for having live bands at all because, as I’m sure live music fans will agree, we are living in the age of the acoustic duo (usually stuffed into a corner next to an old MegaTouch.) Putting the stage at the very front of the bar by the windows is a statement. “Enjoy the food, but LISTEN to the music.” This place has the potential to provide people with the ability to say, “I saw ‘them’ before they were big in front of like 150 people.” An environment for real, intimate, music. I like your comparison to CBGB in this regard, but, I have to say, I wouldn’t have eaten ANYTHING at CB’s. EVER. So, I guess, Rebel wins. GREGG RICHARDS, via philadelphiaweekly.com
Rebel is a bar sharing the same strip as the best after-hours club in Philadelphia (Zee Bar) and one of the best gentleman’s clubs in the nation (Delilah’s). This area is the only area of its kind in Philadelphia that has such diversity in nightlife in proximity. I’ve never heard that available parking is a detriment. Where else can you visit where parking isn’t a headache? Live music is hit-or-miss. That’s the nature and excitement of it. Rebel’s commitment to being a venue for new talent should be commended. How rock ’n’ roll is it to have the same music promoters as in every other venue? The stage is central to the venue. It’s an intimate space, made moreso when the sun goes down and you find yourself looking at the beacon of light that is the stage. Beyond is darkness and the result is the feeling of intimacy, like being huddled around a campfire. I think what should be taken from the article was that you enjoyed the food.

The Island
L
antern Theater Company concludes its most attended season in history with Director Peter DeLaurier’s staging of The Island. Penned by Athol Fugard, John Kandi and Winston Ntshona, the drama is set in the prison on South Africa’s notorious Rotten Island, which for 27 years housed the country’s most famous citizen, Nelson Mandela. Like Mandela, the play’s two characters John (Frank X) and Winston (U.R.) are political prisoners—incarcerated for defying the country’s separatist policy of apartheid. Their days are spent enduring hours of torturous physical labor under the African sun. At night, however, the men escape into the world of Sophocles’ play about governmental oppression and individual dignity Antigone, which the men are rehearsing for a performance for their fellow inmates. J. coopeR Robb
The Clean If you’re looking for the very definition of the word ‘seminal’, look no further than Dunedin, New Zealand’s the Clean. Formed in 1978, the trio pretty much laid the foundation for that fragile, simple and strummy sound we so conveniently call indie rock these days. But please do not hate these men for all the noodly bands they might have wrought. One earful of their classic tracks like “Anything Can Happen,” “Point That Thing Somewhere Else” and, of course, “Tally Ho,” shows these guys were on a trajectory that was totally of its own in their time. And no docksidersporting cream puff is ever gonna take that away from them. Now they’re reformed, and people born after the release of their first single can witness them in a live setting; it’s enough to make anyone with half a brain want to explode. The Clean are back. Accept no substitutes. Tony ReTTman 8pm. $15. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. johnnybrendas.com

What’s so special about duos? Well, just think of where Sonny would have been without Cher. Or, how funny Ren would have been without Stimpy. While almost every major U.S. city has some sort of comedy festival, the fact that the only one specifically devoted to showcasing duos has originated here in Philly is a pretty big deal—a comedy status symbol, if you will. Now in its third year, the festival will present more than 30 improv twosomes during four straight nights of back-to-back shows, each featuring a mix of both local and out-of-town acts. Kicking it all off tonight are Pondward Bound from Toronto and Philly’s own odd couple, Rosen & Milkshake. At 10 p.m., catch local improv vets Nathan Edmondson and Steve Kleinedler (aka Half-Life) performing as two Cold War-era American spies followed by the ImprovBoston duo Work Lunch. After the show, the audience is invited to join the performers for more fun around the corner at O’Neals pub. nicole FinkbineR
Danzig In a recent LA Weekly interview, Glenn Danzig addressed the rumor that he was about to play Wolverine in the 2000 X-Men
flick. How would the Crooner of Darkness have tackled the role differently from Hugh Jackman? “It wouldn’t have been as gay.” Oh, Glenn Danzig—we fear we must laugh at you, not with you. The former Misfits leader has been undermining his own cool of late. Do you imagine him howling “Mother” as an enigmatic creep? Well, here’s a picture of him carrying kitty litter to his car. Prefer to paint Danzig (the man) as an ultra-macho type whose scowl, squat frame, and pumped fists only make Danzig (the band) more of a force to be reckoned with? Sorry, here’s the cover of indie comic Henry and Glenn Forever, with Black Flag’s most famous vocalist massaging his lover’s shoulders as a teary Danzig wonders, “Do you really think it could last forever?” Even though he’s become a go-to punchline lately, Glenn still puts on a fantastic show, and his current “Danzig Legacy” series (which plucks from Danzig’s, Samhain’s and Misfits’ catalogs) looks especially tantalizing.

Jonathan Richman The lead singer of the now-defunct-but-still much-loved Modern Lovers, Jonathan Richman has styled his solo work in much the same way as his old band. It’s lo-fi and catchy, jangly and quirky, a sublime combination of Chuck Berry and no-wave. While the Modern Lovers were a rock band, Richman’s solo work veers more toward a mature, cabaret vibe with lively and full-fleshed tunes that abandon the Modern Lover’s naïve and poppy melodies. Richman’s latest release, 2010’s O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth, is lush yet minimalist collection of narratives disguised as songs, with Richman’s vocals and lyrics, as always, deftly intertwined with deceptively simple melodies. kaTheRine SilkaiTiS 8:30pm. $17.50.

Italian All-Nighter Splatter Fest This week, Phoenixville’s Colonial Theatre screens eight hours of obscure Italian shock cinema for your horror pleasure. Rather than simply showing a handful of films by Dario Argento, a master of the form, these gorehounds have trawled through the cinematic cesspool to find five films that probably have not graced a big screen in this area in more than 30 years, if ever. The selections, all shown on 35mm, include Screamers, featur-
ing the nubile Barbara Bach and a bevy of underwater monsters suspiciously resembling the creature from the Black Lagoon, and Nightmare, the tale of a homicidal maniac on a rampage—which had the dubious distinction of being labeled a “Video Nasty” and was consequently banned from public viewing in the U.K. What these films share in common are drawn-out murder scenes, lingering attention to gruesome detail and an off-kilter combination of sleaze and nihilism. The fact that the stately movie palace showing these pictures was featured in The Blob just adds to the evening’s perverse pleasures. RaymonD Simon 7pm. $10-$20.

West Park Arts Fest The West Park Arts Fest is a full day of eclectic summer fun. From circus acrobatic performances by Philly’s own Tangle Movement Arts, to Philly-New Orleans transplant jazz favorite Monica McIntyre, the performances will provide plenty of distraction, maybe even some inspiration. If the Kyo Daiko Taiko drummers get hearts throbbing, or Chosen Dance Company’s performance get feet bopping, join in the Dancin’ On Air talent search. If the rhythms are too heavy or the seats too constraining, the Philadelphia Museum of Art will have face-painting and anime drawing workshops. Food and craft vendors will share their wares. And, for the historical- or transportation-minded, a Victorian trolley will be looping, extending the explorations to the Please Touch Museum and other nearby sites. allyn GaeSTel Free. 11am-5pm. 4021 Parkside Ave. westparkcultural.org

Philly Draw-A-Thon For this inaugural event, several local artists and cartoonists will spend 24 hours drawing as many sketches as possible based on characters from movies, cartoons, comics and video games. This is not some sort of speed-drawing competition. The artists will be donating their time and talent to help raise money for Child’s Play, a charity that uses 100 percent of its donations to purchase video games, toys and movies for children’s hospitals across the country. Should you want to own any of the super-fun artwork produced during the event, all you have to do is make a $10 donation, which will go directly to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Then, every time you stare at it admiringly on your wall, you’ll can feel good knowing that you helped put a much-needed smile on one child’s face. n.F. Noon. Free.

DMX
Comedian and This American Life contributor Dave Hill has written a book called Tasteful Nudes ... and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation, and it’s crazy funny. The book attacks varied subjects like naked people, stolen meat, clergymen and irritable Canadians with the utmost panache. Spend the night with him while he tries to get you to buy it by performing jokes and stories and being a really swell guy. Local joke maiden Carolyn Busa and Bridgetown Comedy Festival participant Rohit Kohli will be his openers, getting the crowd nice and lubed up for Hill to do his thing. As if that wasn’t enough, Seth Herzog will be super-special guesting, Brooklyn’s Psychic Flowers will be playing and Philly’s own Pakistani cowboys, Sunny Ali & the Kid, will be crooning. aBiGail Bruley
He’s lived a life we’ve all dreamed of as a music star with millions of dollars, women galore and legions of adoring followers. He’s also lived a life none of us would wish on our worst enemy, be it having to drink his mother’s perfume as a child to satisfy his hunger pains or wearing a pink prison uniform on a chain gang in Arizona. For a while, it seemed like DMX was lost in the sauce, but whether on top or bottom, two things never changed: He stayed true to himself, and we never stopped rooting for him. Welcome X back to hip-hop as he blesses the TLA stage this week. Be prepared for an explosion of energy and passion that only Dark Man X can deliver.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY JUNE 6 - JUNE 12, 2012
Held the second Sunday of June for the past 37 years, this African-American street festival celebrating the coming of another year, continues to be one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the country. Each year, it attracts up to half a million people—more than any Eagles, Phillies, Flyers or Sixers game combined. As always, the event will begin with a procession to the Schuylkill River, where the goddess Osun will be presented with fruit, flowers and prayers. From there, the day of festivities will engulf a whopping 20 city blocks with two stages of nonstop live music and dance performances and more than 200 arts and crafts and food vendors. In the marketplace, attendees will find an eclectic mix of vendors selling items from various African nations as well as the Caribbean and Brazil. n.f. 10am.

Automatic Fault Isolations Disparate and highly combustible elements are mixed together with explosive results in local playwright John Rosenberg’s new drama Automatic Fault Isolation. Rosenberg’s story of selfdiscovery focuses on Bretaigne (Anna Flynn Meketon), a young woman in 1965 Huntsville, Ala., who is attracted to two entirely different men. One is a white, middle-aged NASA flight engineer named Kevin and the other a radical black rock ’n’ roller named Sebastian. Ultimately a story of one woman’s search for identity, Bretaigne arranges a potentially violent encounter between the men in the hope that the incident will reveal whether her path in life is to be (in Rosenberg’s words) “a martyred daughter of the Confederacy or an explorer on the edge of a new frontier.” The first production this season from the small company Hella Fresh Theater, Fault is playing at the Papermill Theater, a 50-seat theater that occupies part of the five-story warehouse used by the Papermill Arts Collective, one of the many enterprising arts organizations that have made Kensington the city’s new cultural hot spot.

The Cult, Against Me! + The Icarus Line
•
Odunde Festival

Pull three guitar bands from a hat and there won’t be a stranger lineup. The Cult are the early ’80’s Soundgarden, a mediocre hard-rock act capable of tasty lickage when not weighed down by pretention (singer Ian Astbury’s shamanistic Jim Morrison schtick) and ego. Ex-anarchists Against Me!’s jumped to the majors for two polished, safe political punk albums, before
music
going back indie to work on Gabel’s forthcoming autobiographical gender dysphoria album, exploring his life as a woman in a man’s body (i.e. the polar opposite of safe). Finally, there’s the Icarus Line, better known for mean-spirited pranks (inspired perhaps by onetime guitarist/ Buddyhead founder Aaron North) than their noisy post-punk music, which has regressed since North’s departure.

ar Williams likes to make us wait. Typically three or four years will pass between her new releases, while she goes to nurse her careful lyrical muse at the proverbial mountain. Her latest is no exception, and with a very specific mountain—Olympus—in mind. In the Time of Gods forgoes small and personal metaphors in favor of the grandiose, setting songwritery themes amid ancient Greek mythology. Gods finds Williams a bit brasher than usual, amping up her sarcasm with angular jabs at traditional melody. But there’s still plenty familiar here: Even in a foreign lyrical world, Williams still lets her plaintive acoustic strumming and occasionally soaring soprano shine through. The gods must be pleased.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra Unknown Mortal Orchestra appeared out of nowhere two years ago, when founder Ruban Nielson set up a Bandcamp site with the funky, jangly, addictively sunny single, “Funny Friends”—and pretty much nothing else. A day after its posting, a nod from Pitchfork blew the song up, and soon, hits were spiking, labels were calling and Nielson was on the hook for more. Seizing the opportunity, he put a band together, wrote some songs and released a self-titled debut in 2011 that spliced giddy hiphop beats to exuberant lysergic hooks. UMO has been on the road ever since, bringing the funk to indie-land and turning from web concept to party band in record time. Jennifer kelly

Balam Acab As Balam Acab, Alec Koone makes music that’s formless and meandering. In this instance, those words aren’t necessarily negatives. Koone maps out spooky, ambient songs that run on unintelligible childlike voices, the pleasant hum of flowing water, shuffling synths and thumping beats that add some much-needed structure. This is the kind of stuff that would come in handy during long nighttime drives and lazy spring afternoons spent gazing at plants and lakes. Once in a while, a Balam song focuses on one especially intriguing element, like the gorgeous violin line woven through “Expect”—off 2011’s Wander/Wonder. Although Koone’s baby probably won’t make any serious waves soon, his work has appeared in a couple odd spots. “See Birds” soundtracked a L’Oréal ad featuring Beyoncé, and in the pages of Entertainment Weekly, actress Ellen Page raved that Balam’s music “Transports my mind to another place and makes me dance like a freak.” r.a. 8pm. $20.

his week, downtown Philadelphia will be transformed into one big Gayborhood when Philly PrideDay kicks off Gay Pride Month with a daylong celebration that mixes equal parts activism and entertainment. The festivities begin at noon, with a parade starting at 13th and Locust streets and making its way down Market Street to the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing, where there will be five hours of music, dancing and food. The parade is quite a sight, similar to the Mummers—only more fabulous and without the winter chill. Honorees like Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown will ride on floats, and there will be plenty of oiled-up go-go boys and preening drag queens. The Flaggots, a gay color guard, will add flair with their precision drills and brightly hued flags. One float will be carrying the parade’s Grand Marshalls, the band BETTY, whose credits include the theme song for The L Word. The trio has been making queer-friendly alt rock since the late 1980s and has performed at Philly PrideDay in the past. “It’s our favorite pride event in America,” says singer and cellist Amy Ziff. “The people are wild and wooly and enthusiastic. It’s one of our favorite places to perform.” Some attendees even make it from the sidelines to the stage, like this year’s Mr. Gay Pride, Rough RydeHer, who’ll share a float with the Goddess Isis, Miss Philly Gay Pride. Rough is a character created by Shanel Sherese, a local drag king. The performer, who only began doing drag a year ago, points out that one of the great things about Philly PrideDay is the opportunity it creates for locals. “You can start off on the sidelines and just by becoming active and involved in the community, you can end up in the parade,” she says. The soiree has grown substantially since its inception. The event’s origins date back to the late 1980s, when an impromptu parade was organized to coincide with a gay-rights rally in Love Park. It was such a success that community members got together to make the happening an annual occurrence. Now overseen by Philly Pride Presents, Executive Director Fran Price and Festival Chair Chuck Volz work for months with board members and volunteers to prepare for the festival,

which draws both nationally known entertainers like this year’s headliner, the outrageously frank TV host Wendy Williams, and the support of national sponsors, including Stolichnaya Vodka. Jeweler Henri David has witnessed PrideDay’s growth firsthand. The host of the city’s well-known Halloween bash, who describes himself as an impresario with a capital I-M-P, has been PrideDay’s master of Ceremonies for 20 years. “More and more people are coming out, if you’ll pardon the pun,” says David. “The parade has gotten bigger, and there are people on the sidelines and unsuspecting tourists by Independence Hall, and there are the residents of Center City. We have to do it for all of them, and it just gets better.” n Sun., June 10, noon.

The Cat’s Meow The dining scene in Fairmount just got a lot more exciting with the Latin-inspired Blue Cat. By Brian Freedman bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com fe licia pe rre tti
W
Go fish: Fish tacos are brightened up by a watermelon-jicama-cucumber salad.
cubanelle pepper could have been a problem, but ended up succeeding brilliantly. The composition was simple, yet each flavor spoke with clarity; this was a high-wire act. But as with so many vegetarian and vegan dishes in the city these days, this one managed to pull it all off with real grace and flavor. The smoked mushrooms, quinoa and almonds lurking inside were given an appealing sense of personality, and all tied together by the smoke-kissed tomato mole the pepper was braised in. If you can find one, bring a dry rosé or Syrah for this dish. It’ll be worth the headache of finding the bottle for this pairing alone. Most guests here, in fact, are taking advantage of the range of possible beverage options with this food. On a recent stormy night, I saw everything from beer to liter-sized bottles of Pinot Grigio to high-octane Australian Shiraz scattered around the room. It’s the kind of place where the neighbors
clearly feel comfortable bringing a bottle, drinking through it with their friends and family, and doing the post-BYO stutter-step back home. If you do drink a bit too much, I’d recommend hydrating with the posole, a roasted vegetable soup studded with tender pork ribs and glutinoustextured hominy. It’s hearty, deeply flavorful, and a hot, chile-tingling soup that would work in the warm weather. Alongside the grilled asparagus and smoked mushrooms, it’s a simple, healthy meal in its own right. (You also would do well to absorb the alcohol with co-owner Luli Canuso’s vanilla rice pudding.) This is all to say that Blue Cat is just what this part of Fairmount has needed (and inched toward) for so long. Its airy, friendly atmosphere, casual and competent service, and comfortable pan-Latin food bring to the block a welcome a sense of freshness and life. n

ith the relatively recent arrival of a new crop of restaurants in and around Fairmount, the neighborhood seems to finally be finding its groove with, of all unexpected things, Latin-inspired food. La Calaca Feliz (2321 Fairmount Ave.) may be leading the way in this category with its much-lauded Mexican dishes, but Blue Cat is also a worthy addition to the neighborhood. It’s a friendly, casual place with the kind of food that’s comfortable, familiar and well-executed. Guacamole is generally a good metric by which to measure the aspirations and fundamental grounding of a spot like this: It’s an easy-to-misfire standard that, when done right, implies that the kitchen is paying attention, tasting along the way, and concerned with the details of even the simpler dishes. At Blue Cat, it hits all the right notes; the rough mash of avocado gives just enough crunch with tooth-sized pieces of onion, a scattering of tomato, and the perfumed lift of cilantro and lime. And the excellent housemade chips (malanga, plantain, potato, more) served alongside it are addictive and shatteringly snappy. Fish tacos also benefit from Chef Guy Shapiro’s acumen at the fryer. Though the cod could have been seasoned more aggressively, their crunchy, almost tempura-like casing and accompanying watermelonjicama-cucumber salad made it easy to overlook that minor slip-up. Like the cod, arroz con pollo could have used a touch more seasoning: The rice, a tad soft and bland, possessed little of the porky heft I’d have liked from the chorizo. Still, the scotchbonnet-spicy pique vinegar on the table livened it up admirably, especially against the sweetness of the plantains and the tenderness of the chicken. Chacarero, a riff on the Chilean sandwich, was piled so high with avocado, string beans, red pepper and grilled chicken that it was difficult to navigate the first bite. The effort was worth it, though: This is a sandwich that’s as filling as it is unexpectedly good for you. Salmon filet, beneath a gorgeous crust from the cast-iron skillet, was a simple, delicate dish, topped with a mango salsa that was as straightforward as it was bright. Stuffed

T
he Wilma Theater concludes its 2011-12 theater season with Director Blanka Zizka’s production of Tony Kushner’s masterpiece Angels in America, Part I: Millennium Approaches. The play begins with a recollection of a great voyage and ends with a message from an angel. In between Kushner’s epic story of life, death and everything else that matters are topics that run the gamut from the ozone layer to the McCarthy hearings in the ’50s. Democracy, justice, religion, spirituality, history, politics and identity are all investigated in depth through the relationships between the characters. Befitting its epic scope, the story moves across both time and space, but the primary setting is New York City. It’s 1985 and the Big Apple is the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic, afflicting primarily gay men and drug addicts. As an entire generation of gay Americans lay dying, the response from President Reagan was one of appalling indifference. Some religious zealots even cheered the rising death toll as a sign of God’s vengeance, retribution for what they viewed as a depraved and immoral lifestyle. Against this backdrop of death, Kushner’s play introduces us to a wide crosssection of Americans led by Prior (the excellent Aubrey Deeker), a young gay man afflicted with the virus. Although Prior is near death, his Jewish boyfriend, Louis (who explains that he “can’t incorporate sickness into his sense of how things are supposed to go”), abandons him for a closeted gay Mormon (a superb Luigi Sottile) whose wife, Harper (the marvelous Kate Czajkowski), is likewise exiting while he struggles to accept his sexual orientation. Other characters of note include Joe’s mother, Hannah (Mary Elizabeth Scallen) and the Republican lawyer Roy Cohn (Stephen Novelli in a surprising and effective portrayal). A loathsome man with an infamous past and a close association with the Reagan White House, Cohn contracted AIDS yet denies his homosexuality. “Roy Cohn is a heterosexual man who fucks around with guys,” he explains to his incredulous doctor. The entire ensemble is strong, but the standout performance is by actor James Ijames, who portrays Belize, the colorful drag queen and nurse. In Ijames’ smart, nuanced and wonderfully honest performance, he reconciles Belize’s many seemingly contradictory characteristics. Flamboyant but also practical, simultaneously thoughtful and carefree, talkative and a great listener, Ijames reveals Belize’s passion and playfulness without ever play-

ing to the audience or shamelessly exaggerating Belize’s effeminate mannerisms for a few cheap laughs. Ijames lights up the stage each time he appears, illuminating even the play’s darkest passages as Belize refuses to let the horrors of the epidemic temper his zest for life. Angels doesn’t sear your soul or reduce you to tears, but it is impossible to watch Zizka’s production and not seethe with rage at the callousness and willful ignorance with which the Republican Party greeted the epidemic. Intellectually engaging and dramatically thrilling, the production’s greatest achievement is that Kushner’s 1991 play never feels like a historical artifact. Under Zizka’s direction, it is as fresh and urgent as the day it appeared and the three-andhalf-hour running time leaves us wanting more. In Zizka’s staging, the angel’s appearance is more memorable than in the original Broadway production; she literally crashes through the lights high above the stage and then hovers in mid-air over a terrified Prior. Spreading her wings, she is a sight to behold as she majestically proclaims: “The Great Work begins: The Messenger has arrived.” Although it is the play’s final line, it reads more like a beginning than an ending—and with good reason: On Sept. 12, the Wilma will open next season with a 20th anniversary production of Angels in America Part II: Perestroika. According to Wilma spokesman Johnny Van Heest, audiences will also have the opportunity to view both parts I and II of Angels on a single day, which is an experience that is as unforgettable as it is deeply enriching. n Through July 1. $39-$66.

his weekend, InLiquid’s signature summer event, Art for the Cash Poor, returns for the 13th year, offering locals the chance to become enthusiastic art collectors without having to spend a month’s salary. As always, the block-party-style art sale in southwest Kensington showcases a plethora of works from both emerging and established talents, with nothing priced higher than $199 and most items priced well below $100. “We are much more than your typical art or craft fair,” says InLiquid founder and executive director, Rachel Zimmerman. “While there are definitely some crafters, especially with the DIY/ handmade movement happening, we have a focus on fine artists that other fairs do not.” Removing art from the sometimes stuffy gallery setting, the event will be held both indoors and out with live music from several local indie bands and an array of grub from five new gastro food trucks. When Zimmerman started AFTCP back in 2000, the idea was to give artists a chance to profit from the artwork they had lying around. “As artists, we all have other work that might not be perfect for a gallery, or older work that has been shown numerous times and not sold, but would be great for someone’s home,” she says. Though the event puts a cap on how much the artists can charge, as Zimmerman notes, most have work that they’d sell at lower price points anyway. Plus, 100 percent of the sales go straight into the artists’ pockets. The very first AFTCP was held at Creperie Beau Monde in South Philly with only a few dozen artists spanning two floors and no entertainment. Since then, the event has continued to grow in size and popularity, with attendance at last year’s edition growing to more than 2,000 visitors per day. In that time, Zimmerman says the motivation behind AFTCP has also evolved, having become more about fostering a relationship between buyers and artists and “creating a ‘moment’ to experience art.” With the art extravaganza expected to be even bigger this year, here are some vendors to keep an eye out for.

Six Pack Six America-Based Filmmakers Who Still Shoot on Film By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Paul Thomas Anderson: Film is dead. Or it seems that way: Film cameras are no longer being made, stock is hard to come by and even Martin Scorsese—in addition to Steven Soderbergh, David Lynch, David Fincher, Ridley Scott and many others—has succumbed to the throes of digital cinema. At this point, it’s a special event when a major filmmaker goes analogue. And if one required another reason to get antsy for PTA’s forthcoming The Master, there’s this: It was shot on Panasonic Super 70. Wes Anderson: For Moonrise Kingdom, his first film set in the past (1965, specifically), the other great Anderson (sorry, Paul W.S. Anderson) turned to Super 16mm, whose natural grain is a perfect fit for a look this drunk on yellows and blues. Unfortunately, the proliferation of digital projection means it’s hard to see in its intended format. Make sure you know you’re seeing it projected on film. Rian Johnson: Quentin Tarantino and Darren Aronofsky sticking with 35mm is a no-brainer; a youngish upstart like the director of Brick, The Brothers Bloom and the forthcoming Looper means simply impeccable taste. Christopher Nolan: While many are banking on 3-D as cinema’s future, others turn to another longtime gimmick: IMAX. And to really take advantage of the format, you need the high resolution of film, not some digital Xerox. Brad Bird earmarked 30 minutes of IMAX footage for Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol. Nolan doubled down: The Dark Knight Rises includes a full hour, with the rest “settling” for film.
P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY JUNE 6 - JUNE 12, 2012
Alex Ross Perry: Despite all the hoopla about how digital cinema makes moviemaking more affordable, some genuine independents still prefer to spring for celluloid. Andrew Bujalski shot his first three features (at least) on grainy 16mm, and Matthew Porterfield (Putty Hill) saves up for film. In his new The Color Wheel, Perry summons a bygone era of cheap B&W 16mm filmmaking, and the ramshackle beauty that comes with it. Steven Spielberg: While waiting for his wholly digital The Adventures of Tintin to render on computers, Spielberg went and paid reverence to the past: His war saga is so dedicated to being old fashioned that it was even lensed in glorious 35mm. n

The Trouble With Love
Moonrise Kingdom shows the stark difference between idealistic young love and middle-aged compromise. By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com
“I

can’t argue against anything you’re saying. But then again, I don’t have to. Because you’re 12 years old,” quips Bruce Willis’ brokenhearted cop in Wes Anderson’s absurdly delightful Moonrise Kingdom. It’s a glorious film, and even those annoyed with Anderson’s hermetic dollhouse pictures might find something to cheer for here. It’s his most carefully constrained, painstakingly overdesigned movie, yet also his most gushing and emotionally accessible. Anderson has veered back and forth, never quite cashing in on his initial promise of Bottle Rocket, which played like Mean Streets suffering from arrested development, or The Royal Tenenbaums, which was sort of like The Magnificent Ambersons by way of J.D. Salinger in desperate need of even more therapy. He’s a fussy filmmaker, utilizing such pointedly symmetrical compositions and kick-me music cues that 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox was almost his masterpiece. Ditching reallife people altogether and shooting stop-motion puppets seemed both a confounding and brilliant career move for Wes Anderson. I wasn’t alone in suggesting that he should never again try to work with actual people. Boy, was I wrong. Moonrise Kingdom is perhaps best described by its creator as “a memory of a fantasy.” Taking place in the summer of 1965, we follow star-crossed lovers Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward), who each run away from home and strike up a tentative courtship on the island of New Penzance, somewhere off the coast of New England where everything looks like a slightly skewed Norman Rockwell painting. He’s a lispy Khaki Scout with delusions of grandeur and she’s a tightly wound Anna Karina-wannabe with severe eye makeup and a batteryoperated record player. References to Badlands and Pierrot Le Fou abound, right down to the scissors, with Anderson having a grand old time goosing the young-lovers-on-the-run formula we have seen in every picture since Bonnie and Clyde, in part by making his main characters 12 years old. In flashback form, we watch yearlong pen pals Sam and Suzy communicate in cut-off, elliptical letters, flushed

with ardent puppy love. In a brilliant device concocted by Anderson (and his co-writer Roman Coppola), the missives begin on the verbose side and are interrupted constantly as the montage wears on, until finally just a salutation is enough. The movie is positively drunk on the kind of whimsy that only first love can conjure, but what makes it stick are heartfelt, dead-in-the water turns by the supporting cast. However obvious, Moonrise Kingdom is eventually an exercise in contrasts, and this rush of young love is never not tempered by a serious adult disappointment. For starters, there are Suzy’s parents, played in a constant state of exhaustion by Frances McDormand and National Treasure Bill Murray. Both attorneys by trade, they don’t so much communicate as grill one another. (“That’s a loaded question,” he answers her most urgent inquiry.) Murray knows that she’s been sleeping around, and has been in denial for a long time. Leave it to Murray, with his deadpan minimalist indignation to respond to a domestic squabble by swigging a bottle of booze and throwing an axe over his shoulder, announcing that he’s “going to go find a tree he can cut down.” Metaphor alert? There’s also a sublime comic turn by Edward Norton, as a scoutmaster in the midst of a constant identity crisis. This is all he’s ever wanted to do, and no matter how many hours he spends reading editorials by troop leader Harvey Keitel in Indian Corn magazine (and the sight of Harvey Keitel in a Boy Scout uniform alone might be worth the price of admission), he just can’t muster up enough gumption to
Moonrise Kingdom Grade: A Director: Wes Anderson Starring: Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward and Bruce Willis
be good at his job. Norton is ardent, committed, and loses sight of a lot of children at very dangerous intervals. But the one I love most is Willis, mocked by Suzy as “the sad dumb policeman”—that’s a handle you can hang on most of the great Bruce Willis characters. Recently dumped by McDormand, he’s reeling in a pathetic bachelor trailer, hanging on to his job and little else with a commitment to duty that doesn’t preclude splitting a beer with a 12-year-old Sam while explaining how love just doesn’t work out sometimes. Moonrise Kingdom shakes up Anderson’s typical static scope compositions with tighter framed, super 16mm zooms calling to mind the French New Wave. The sets are ornate, and the bold-stroke costumes function almost as Peanuts character signifiers. Like most of Anderson’s pictures, it’s almost asphyxiatingly over-orchestrated, yet this time around the camera feels a bit looser, and the actors feel freer. There’s a push-pull going on here between idealistic young love and middle-aged compromise. What makes Moonrise Kingdom work so magnificently is that Anderson understands you can’t have one without the other. n
Prometheus
Peace, Love & Misunderstanding
Grade: C Review by Sean Burns And in the beginning, there was silliness. Ridley Scott’s winking maybe-prequel to Alien—hijacked at the screenplay level with a bunch of notes from nervous executives who were paying too much money for a picture without any franchise backing—is the best-looking stupid movie I have seen all year. It’s sumptuously photographed, and most often inane. Starring the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Noomi Rapace as a free-thinking scientist who wears a cross around her neck yet still believes that aliens created mankind—a contradiction the movie can hardly be bothered to explore—Prometheus gathers a bunch of doctors and roughnecks on an ill-fated journey to chase down a couple of cave-paintings and find out where life on Earth really began. It’s all warmed-over Chariots of the Gods gobbledygook, benefiting mostly from yet another killer performance by Michael Fassbender as the ship’s resident android, dying and cutting his hair to look like Peter O’Toole in his oft-watched Lawrence of Arabia and calibrating the performance accordingly. He’s Roy Batty by way of The Man Who Fell to Earth, and Fassbender spends most of the picture teasing secret agendas with unforeseen plans that often just don’t

boy, humor-impaired, funny only when he’s trying to act. While he has the looks for Duroy, he lacks the screen presence, the requisite roguish qualities that would make Bel Ami more than a bundle of plot. Filmmakers Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod bet on this being a Barry Lyndon situation, in which Stanley Kubrick was able to exploit Ryan O’Neal’s powerful limitations for his own sly devices. But Lyndon revealed subtle depth—since untapped—in O’Neal’s
screen presence, while Bel Ami merely has Pattinson act like a disused robot while his female co-stars (plus Colm Meaney) chatterbox around him. As his fuck buddies, Ricci, Scott Thomas and even Thurman provide more than deserved; the latter, who never feels home in a period piece, is quite promisingly comfortable here. But they’re propping up both a vacuous actor and a romp that, instead of relishing in its antihero’s fiendishly anti-heroic deeds, instead becomes as joyless as its star. n
Bel Ami
Grade: C Review by Matt Prigge In Bel Ami, Robert Pattinson plays a familiar role: a blank-faced creep able to seduce his way to the top thanks to his looks and his willingness to coast on little but said looks. Technically, he plays Georges Duroy, the amoral social climber at the center of Guy De Maupassant’s second novel, a soldier who returns to 1890 Paris from Algeria ready to glad-hand the powerful while banging their wives. As he penetrates a well-off newspaper, he does the same to Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas—a task that, rather than at least leaving a semi-permanent grin, produces from the Twilight kid only the occasional dickish smirk. Word has it that, with his Cannes player Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg proved the one to finally do something interesting with Pattinson. That makes sense: The actor needs a mega-stylist to mold him like clay, which, with his ability to rock no more than three expressions, he basically is anyway. Pattinson clearly wants to be more than his goofy good looks—his flattened nose, his far-apart eyes, his aggressively pale complexion—but doesn’t have the chops, as witness his grotesque “impersonation” of Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes. This visible need to transcend himself makes him a dull

bothers to address a single question. It just becomes a dopey action flick, benefitted by the presence of Charlize Theron as a sassy government operative and The Wire’s Idris Elba as a no-nonsense spaceship captain with a weird thing for Stephen Stills. Prometheus is a languorously paced picture, inviting you to bask in the strange, oddly antiseptic images and hint-hints about the films to follow. Fitting, then, how it forgets to tell a complete story and ends with a trailer for something more. n

make a goddamn bit of sense. But neither does the rest of Prometheus. Co-scripted by Lost writer Damon Lindelof, it’s a ginormous cocktease. Here’s where I must confess that I never watched more than two hours of that show, as it mainly struck me as an excuse for my friends to get angry on the Internet. Prometheus probably won’t fare any better, because for all the highfalutin’ creation myths kicked around in the first hour, it eventually settles down into a subpar space-monster movie and never
The war between red-state and blue-state mentalities—albeit in the same state, New York—once again becomes fodder for weak dramedy in the gratingly titled Peace, Love & Misunderstanding. An atypically listless Catherine Keener is not terribly convincing as a Reagan Republican and Manhattan lawyer who, awaiting divorce papers from her Kyle MacLachlan-esque husband (played by Kyle MacLachlan), packs up the teen kids (Elizabeth Olsen and Nat Wolff) for some R&R. Why she chose to unwind in Woodstock with the hippie mother (Jane Fonda) she’s been angrily snubbing for two decades is a curio never adequately addressed. But then, the script, by Christina Mengert and Joseph Muszynski, is sketching drawn-out courtships between its city folk and dreamy locals. How long will Keener be able to resist the granola charms and bedroom eyes of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s guitar-strumming heartthrob? And how will ethical eater Olsen deal with the moves of an Ambercrombie rent-a-hunk (Chace Crawford) when he’s also an organic butcher? Meanwhile, Hanoi Jane adopts heavy curls and tie-dye to lodge every easy hippie joke ever made: She’s a weekend protester and the town’s pot dealer who believes in the healing power of crystals, asks her daughter not to “cockblock” her grandkids and says things like, “I prefer not to name animals. They’re nature’s children.” This is the third time Fonda has acted on-screen since 1990’s Stanley and Iris, and though she enters like a bull in a china shop, by the half-hour mark she’s chilled out into only moderately vexing kookdom. Broadly directed by Driving Miss Daisy’s Bruce Beresford—who, if he’s wondering, still holds a slither of credibility from his excellent Tender Mercies—Peace, Love & Misunderstanding is more tolerable than other late period Fonda outings Monster-in-Law and Georgia Rule. That’s thanks almost exclusively to its Martha Marcy May Marlene star. The proof of a budding actor’s talent is no stronger than in how they handle toxic piffle, and the unexpectedly excellent Olsen sister makes a thrillingly three-dimensional person out of a character written as a series of eye-rolls and banalities. Her alert turn is enough to underservingly elevate this vanilla production an entire letter grade. n

Grade: B Review by Matt Prigge
The Intouchables Grade: C+ Review by Matt Prigge
56
The Intouchables currently stands as the second highest grossing French film in French history, which is less impressive when you learn the true champ is a wacky fish-out-of-water comedy called Welcome to the Sticks. That alone should sound alarm bells, and that’s before you discover its quasi-offensive plot: A ridiculously rich dude (François Cluzet), handicapped from the neck down, learns the value of life upon hiring a funny black guy (Omar Sy) as his man-servant. To its credit, The Intouchables—presumably quite liberally based on real people— isn’t as offensive as it might be. It isn’t The Toy, the infamous comedy (remade from a French film, actually) in which Jackie Gleason buys Richard Pryor to entertain his snotty son. Writers/directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano never delve into the racial aspects of their protagonists’ relationship, and only flirt with class issues. It’s more a case of temperament: Cluzet’s Philippe has a stick up his ass and Sy’s Driss is the unfailing bundle of energy to remove it. We’re told that Driss, of Senegalese descent, is hot off a six-month prison stint and we see him engage in minor (comic) larceny. But Sy—who predictably won the César, France’s Oscar-analog—is the least convincing ex-con in screen history. He’s such an endearing sparkplug that it’s obvious when Philippe, a grump who regularly goes through caretakers like water, instantly hires him despite his sketchy CV. What follows is your classic scientifically tested comedy-drama: 75 percent easy jokes, 25 percent easy heartstring-yanks. The comedy is mostly slobs vs. snobs: Watch as Driss snickers at modern art, at the opera, at every pretension in Philippe’s cloistered, moneyed existence. For the seasoned crowd-pleasing movie grump, it’s almost annoying that Sy, despite leaning way too hard on likability, is still very likable, and that the relationship between Driss and Philippe is often genuinely, comfortably moving. The Intouchables is not “good” but neither is it risible. It’s the tale of two unlikely friends who instantly click and continue clicking until there’s something like an ending. n
The Belgium-based writing-directingacting team Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy are so underheralded they don’t even have an English-language Wikipedia page. That’s odd considering their schtick: With three slender features— L’Iceberg, Rumba and now The Fairy, all of which have scored quiet stateside distribution—they’ve joined the ranks of those trying to bring back silent comedy, arguably the saddest casualty of sound. Even the sharpest retreads tend to be bracketed in quotation marks, and admittedly the three don’t quite have the chops: As gag-writers and performers, they’re more amusing in theory than execution, skating by largely on novelty. Still, someone should be doing what they’re doing, and that—combined with a very West European pleasantness—is enough. Dialogue is what sets The Fairy apart from its predecessors. Predictably, there’s littleto-none of it in their films, and while their latest is far from a chatterbox, the presence of actual conversation makes it feel sometimes closer to Finnish deadpan master Aki Kaurismaki (The Man Without a Past, Le Havre) than previous Abel-Gordon-Romy outings. Abel plays a middle-age hotel clerk/ slacker who wants no more than to pass shifts eating ham-and-cheese sandwiches splattered in ketchup (ew!) and watching old musicals on a pint-sized television. He’s interrupted by a fairy played by Gordon, an Aussie who looks like Tilda Swinton crossed with Yahoo Serious. She’s a supernatural being albeit a down-to-earth and accessible one, and after granting two of Abel’s aggressively modest wishes—a scooter and an endless supply of gas to fuel it—the two fall in love. There are a couple of musical numbers, the most charming of which takes place underwater, with our leads obscuring their naughty bits under seaweed while dancing plastic bags float by. And there is a series of farcial plot turns taken about as seriously as scenes where dogs and infants are put in cartoonish danger. No one is trying very hard, not even compared with L’Iceberg and Rumba, whose plotting featured quirky hairpin turns and rampant absurdism. In The Fairy, the tone is breezier, more laidback, the idea being to bring outlandish elements down to earth so they can relax with the rest of us, for however much time we all have left. n

pear on Gloss Drop. Electronica artist Gary Numan of “Cars” fame shows up on “My Machines” to sound, well, just like Gary Numan; Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino goes all coy on “Sweetie & Shag”; distant-sounding chants and wails from Boredoms’ Yamantaka Eye populate “Sundome”; and the singy-songy voice of Matias Aguayo provides a mix of Spanish and English vocals on “Ice Cream.” Battles leaves enough empty space that the music can accommodate singers so varied without stretching the band’s aesthetic too much. “I like to think of us as an instrumental band that happens to have vocals,” Williams says. Despite the headaches that accompanied Gloss Drop’s construction, the record’s music is sweet and upbeat. The band plays with tropical rhythms on “Ice Cream,” tinkers with psychedelia on “Sundome,” orchestrates the perfect conga line soundtrack with “Dominican Fade,” and whittles a four-hour jam from guitarist/bassist Dave Konopka down to almost five minutes for the incandescent “Inchworm.” About half of the original Braxton-era Gloss Drop was retained for the final product, and when Williams compares remaking the album to “salvaging a house,” his quick use of a non-restaurant-related metaphor mirrors Battles’ playful, nothing-issacred approach to putting things together. “The fireplace is awesome,” he says. “We’re going to take that out of here.” n

cies that were interested in what we did. I think it’s great when you can achieve [the task of satisfying] both within one breath, but it’s actually very difficult to do that—and that’s why a Battles album is pressure for us.” These conflicting viewpoints came to a head when Battles began developing its second record in 2009. After earning many compliments for Mirrored and devoting two years to touring, the group began assembling the record now known as Gloss Drop. They worked in the same Pawtucket, R.I., studio where they made Mirrored, with many of the same personnel, but the sparks of inspiration just weren’t there. A sense of complacency took over the band, Williams says, leading to work that drummer John Stanier later characterized as “a little uninspired and it wasn’t really a team effort.” In August 2010, a public statement announced lead vocalist Braxton’s exit from the band in what was “a sad but amicable split.” Williams cites creative differences between the two as the cause for the split: Braxton, naturally enough, was pushing for a poppier, more vocal-based sound in the wake of “Atlas,” which Williams didn’t think was working. Losing Braxton made a dent in morale, so the band decided to start over. Recording turned into a hectic scramble of 14-hour work days; finally, after five months, they finished Gloss Drop, which hit in June 2011. To get an idea of how smartly Battles handled the problem of losing its most significant voice, consider the variety of guest vocalists that ap-

an Williams has been playing in instrumental bands—or, to be more specific, bands that focus on instrumentals—for a long time. The Johnstown, Pa., native joined Don Caballero in 1992, spent time in Storm and Stress later that decade, and jump-started Battles, his current and most successful project, in the early 2000s. Along the way, he developed a philosophy about making experiment-heavy music: “Once you have something really mastered and down, it’s like you expect less emotion, and it somehow becomes a little less truthful. For me, [playing music is] always about discovering a new way to generate sounds, melodies, textures or whatever the hell I do. It’s always sort of a struggle ... You always have to move on and keep finding yourself in new positions—redesigning your menu.” He adds: “I’m not going to make any more restaurant metaphors.” Since Battles’ inception, the Brooklyn, N.Y., band has eagerly treated its math-rock-gone-whatever-pop like a spongy, multicolored, and particularly malleable piece of Play-Doh. Guitars have carte blanche to sound as rubbery or machinelike as needed; synthesizers can touch on high, unexpected notes; rhythms can speed up or slow down at will. The band considers any kind of sound fair game, with the right context and execution. “Atlas,” off the band’s 2007 debut album, Mirrored, exemplifies the gorgeous weirdness that can unfold in Battles’ world. Led by Tyondai Braxton’s helium-soaked vocals, the song is good-natured and absurdly catchy, with a brilliant bounciness to its movements. Unsurprisingly, it’s Battles’ most popular track (both in YouTube views and Last.fm plays), and it was well-loved enough to spawn what Williams sees as two distinct fan bases. “Mirrored kind of put us in this position where we had a foot still in this experimental world, with underground music fans liking what we were doing,” he says, “and yet we had that one song with vocals ... right at the moment when singles and videos were happening in the indie world on the Internet. “‘Atlas’ took us into this larger Pitchfork spectrum of your average college kid who listens to kind of interesting music. We suddenly developed these two different constituen-

Coolest. Bass player. Ever. Victor Wooten gets to hang out with rock stars and superheroes. By Craig D. Lindsay feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com
Scissor Sisters
Magic Hour (Cassablanca) Sounds Like: The biggest, queerest
Azealia Banks
1991 EP (Interscope) Sounds Like: A queer-friendly diva who’s
hard in her flow, knows how to use a house beat (and a street hook), and has a nasty sense of humor/fresh perspective. Free Association: This is just the beginning for her, with mixtapes and LPs on the way. For Fans Of: Grace Jones x Lil’ Kim, Rye Rye/Santi + Harlem realness, Stash/Woody’s.
Simian Mobile Disco
Unpatterns (Wichita) Sounds Like: Not as many guest vocal-
Crown Vic: The five-time Grammy winner has been voted one of 10 greatest bass players of all time.

is also working on a follow-up to his 2008 novel The Music Lesson. It makes one wonder how the hell Wooten manages to do so much. “Well, one of the things is, because I can,” he says. “There’s nothing out there that’s telling me I can’t do it, you know. The only thing that sometimes taps me on the shoulder and says, ‘Hey, you may not be able to do this!’ is time, you know. But, I’ve always had ideas, and it seems like now, more than ever, with [the] Internet and everything like that, you can do all of these ideas.” Wooten may not be able to do anything a spider can, but he’s doing everything he can. n Victor Wooten performs Fri., June 8, 8pm. $29.50-$37.50. Keswick Theatre, 291 N. Keswick Ave., Glenside. 215.572.7650. keswicktheatre.com
Critic’s Pick The Club Paradise Tour Drake

ass players are inherently cool people, but it’s not every day you see a bass player reach the level of jaw-dropping awesomeness Victor Wooten achieved when he recently appeared on the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man. Wooten’s illustrated, dreadlocked likeness is right there on the cover, with Spidey underneath one arm, swinging into action. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a bass player on the cover of any comic book, let alone a Spider-Man comic? “Yeah, I hadn’t seen that either,” Wooten says, during a phone interview. “I thought that was very, very cool.” This is all thanks to his friends, the owners of Amazing Fantasy Comics in Chesapeake, Va. The comics store got the opportunity to pick someone who could appear on a Spider-Man issue they could sell at their spot. “Every once in a while,” Wooten explains, “Marvel Comics will make an offer to these stores that if they meet certain criteria, they can get whoever they want. My friend, knowing how much I liked Spider-Man, she called and told me about it—see if I wanted to do this deal. And, of course, I jumped right on it.” (The issue can also be obtained through Wooten’s website, victorwooten.com, in both signed and unsigned form.) Even without the web-swinging appearance, Wooten would still be noted for some awe-inspiring feats in his career. The 47-year-old Virginia-born, Nashville-based bass player, voted one of the 10 greatest of all time in a Rolling Stone readers’ poll, has already snagged five Grammy wins. His bass-picking virtuosity has enlivened many bands, including Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (of which he’s a founding member) and SMV, the bass-heavy supergroup that features him and fellow bass legends Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller. Wooten is currently out on tour with his own band, alerting fans of the two upcoming releases that he’ll be dropping in September: Words & Tones and Sword & Stone, which is the instrumental version of Words. And since it’s summertime, Wooten’s series of music and nature camps—in its 13th year, and located at his Wooten Woods retreat near Nashville—is now underway. The man

Welcome to the massive tour led by wanky Canadian rapper Drake. Reports from the road have said the Canuck decorates with candles and throw pillows backstage at each venue, which is exactly the sorta thing that’s gonna make Drake haters hate Drake even more. He’s also dragging along Georgia rapper 2 Chainz, whose elevation within the rap hierarchy is baffling considering how boring he is, and French Montana, the second weakest rapper on Rick Ross’s Maybach Music Group, after Wale. But fear not, because two of the most inimitable rappers rapping nowadays are also on the gig: Atlanta’s Waka Flocka Flame and Philly’s own Meek Mill. Flocka’s mixtapes, like last year’s impeccable LeBron Flocka James 3, are so damn powerful that even a sad bro like Drake probably gets punchy listening to ’em. And Meek, whose 1-month-old Dreamchasers 2 mixtape is already been downloaded more than three million times, is Philadelphia’s undisputed heavyweight-champion-of-the-moment. (Elliott Sharp)

Adult
By Dan Savage mail@philadelphiaweekly.com Could you tell my boy to calm the heck down? Can’t seem to get him to get the difference between bestiality, necrophilia and screwin’ a bearskin rug. Emphasizing my usual sexual interests—which involve rope bondage, floggin’, and an e-stim unit—hasn’t worked. Logic isn’t helpin’ out at all. Maybe you can help? I’m a gay man and a hunter; he’s a gay boy and a vegan. But he likes how I look in my camo, holding a rifle, so it works. Last fall, I went to Idaho and shot a black bear and a 13-point buck. A taxidermist mounted the buck’s head, which hangs above my bed, and made the bear into a rug. Most people don’t know this, but the head on a bearskin rug is entirely fake except for the fur. The skull, teeth and tongue are plastic, and the eyes are glass. That bear’s hardly a bear, if you catch me. So we got the rug, and he liked it. Even wanted me to screw him spread-eagle on that rug—until he walked in while I was doing it with the bear. I rigged up the mouth with one of those Fleshlight things, pretty much as a joke, but my boy freaked out when he saw the bear giving me a blowjob of sorts. Called me sick and disgusting, and ever since then, he won’t let me tie him up or beat him or anything. He says he’s afraid I will kill him and then screw him. I keep telling him it was all just a game, but he won’t believe it. What can I do? Bear Grinned Anyway

The letter writer who got caught wanking in a public toilet had taken pains to find an empty men’s restroom on a deserted floor of an office building. He wanted to have his midday wank, WIPE, without disturbing or unnerving others. I don’t think the same could be said for the men who are rubbing ’em out in the toilets of Portland’s Central Library. Look, I’m familiar with Portland’s Central Library, WIPE; I wrote huge chunks of two of my books there. The toilets are crowded, and there’s no way you can beat off in one without disturbing others. I don’t have a problem with people rubbing ’em out—hello—but guys who get off in public toilets because they get off on public toilets are forcing other people to serve as props in their masturbatory fantasies. And that ain’t cool. n

Following up on the letter about masturbating in the privacy of a public toilet stall: Guys are being banned from Multnomah County libraries in Portland, Ore., for wanking in the supposed privacy of locked bathroom stalls. Facilities security officers peep through spaces between stall doors and write up reports that go into detail about “shiny liquids” spotted on offenders’ hands, and those who are caught are excluded from the libraries for a year. I thought “sexual activity” required a partner, and masturbation wasn’t a crime if practiced in private—but tell that to the peeping uniformed officers working in the Central Library, aka “Portland’s Crown Jewel.” You can’t go to a locked bathroom stall and rub one out, on pain of landing on the Excluded Patrons List as a masturbator. Victorian prudery lives. Wanking In Private Environs

I’m a 17-year-old male and I’m currently in a relationship with a girl who was sexually active before we got together. Me being a virgin, I think you can understand why I might be nervous when things get heated. I would like to engage in the act with her eventually, but I don’t know if she wants a virgin fumbling around in bed with her. And it’s not particularly manly to go to someone and basically say, “I’m not going to be good at this for a while.” Not exactly a turn-on. I feel she’s ahead of me in experience. What
If your girlfriend is close to you in age, NEWB, the odds that she’s any good at sex are vanishingly slim, her prior sexual activity notwithstanding. Some people have a knack for sex, of course, but almost all teenagers are lousy at sex. Trust me, NEWB: I was a teenager once, a teenager who slept with other teenagers, and I was lousy at sex and so were they. Now here’s my advice: Chill the fuck out. Presumably, your girlfriend likes you, NEWB, and knows you’re a virgin. Which means she knows you’ll be a little nervous the first time you two have sex—the first time you have sex—and that there’s probably going to be some fumbling. But you wanna know a secret? Even sexually experienced adults—even adults who are really good at sex and have had tons of it—still get nervous, NEWB, and there’s no such thing as sex without some fumbling. As for your concerns about seeming less than manly: You’re bringin’ the dick, NEWB, so you’re the man. Your nerves won’t render you dickless. If you’re worried about displaying a manly confidence, well, you can still do that: Go into your first sexual experience confident that your girlfriend is into you and confident that she wants you, and be honestly and unapologetically who you are. Being yourself is far more manly than pretending to be someone or something you’re not, NEWB, and there’s nothing less manly than pussing out on a new experience for fear of appearing unmanly. Honest nerves are manlier than false bravado. One last thing to do before you lose your virginity: Watch a weekend marathon of 16 and Pregnant on MTV. That show will inspire you to use condoms religiously and correctly, NEWB, every single time. Even if your girlfriend is, or claims to be, using hormonal birth control, wrap your manly ol’ dick up before you slide it inside.

What can you do? You mean besides send video of you and your bear in action to prove this isn’t the most entertaining fake letter I’ve received since Michelle Obama invited me to dinner at Sarah Jessica Parker’s apartment? What can you do besides that? You can do this: You can draw a distinction between what was going on in that bear’s mouth when your boyfriend walked in and what was going on in your head. When a man beats off— with or without a Fleshlight-enhanced bearskin rug—two things are kindasorta happening simultaneously: what the man is doing with his dick and what the man is imagining he’s doing with his dick. Guys who beat off using a clenched fist, for example, generally aren’t clenched-fist fetishists; they’re just horny and their fists are there and, say, Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t. Fists provide necessary friction; imaginations provide sexy scenarios. So your boyfriend walked in and saw you fucking the face of a dead bear. That’s gonna look bad, BGA, even to a boyfriend who isn’t vegan. So how do you fix it? By patiently explaining to your vegan boyfriend that while, yes, you were face-fucking a bear when he walked in on you— there’s no denying that—you weren’t thinking about face-fucking a bear. Tell him you were thinking about him, and the bear’s mouth was just a convenient place to wedge your veganboyfriend-substitute, i.e., your Fleshlight. Tell your boyfriend you don’t entertain any murderous fantasies, tell him you only long to fuck living things, and tell him that Homo sapiens are the only animals you find attractive. Tell him all of that, BGA, even if not all of that is entirely true.
