Battle Cry

Regarding Tara Murtha’s recent cover story about Officer Kathryn Battle: Thanks for the excellent article about Officer Battle and others on her team. I was engrossed with reading every word and had my eyes opened a bit more to understand what goes on after shootings. I do hope that the violence can decline to zero in our communities; it impacts us all, especially since so many victims are so young. Thanks, Officer Battle and to all police doing the right thing. ANTOINETTE P.

Drumming to a Different Beat

Regarding Erica Palan’s recent Week’s Worst column about the Max Weinberg Big Band: Wow. Someone get Ms Palan her Prozac quick! I fear the prolonged use of her meds have distorted her hearing acuity and writing ability. The Philadelphia Weekly should dismiss her and hire someone who can competently write about music. Her snarkiness seems to be of greater importance to her than any reasoned evaluation of a musician’s talent. What does Max’s age or the fact that his son subbed for him matter? (By the way, I saw the youngster play at Giants stadium and thought he was fantastic.) Readers deserve better! NATASHA

Thank you for being the person that you are because it truly takes a special person to do the job that you do. Thank you also for showing everyone that there are police officers who really care about citizens of our city and want to help. You make me proud to have worn the uniform!

Does this woman Erica Palan really have a job writing for this media outlet? Because she clearly has no idea what she is talking about on any of the topics she babbled about. Max is one of the greatest drummers in the world, and has been for the past 36 years, and after seeing the MW Big Band in Miami, it is unreal. Too bad for Palan the show will be sold out, and she will be stuck at home once again.

Pa. has its own drilling practices to reconsider.

Persona Non Grata Reports of ethnic profiling underscore immigration issues. By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com This Saturday, Philadelphia is celebrating World Refugee Day, honoring the struggles of those who have come to the city f leeing warfare and political, religious or racial persecution in their home countries. But for one immigrant community, there will be no celebration. Instead of reveling in freedom and liberty, Indonesian Chinese Christians residing in South Philly will spend the day in typical “illegal alien” fashion—hiding, in fear of being captured and deported. During the late ’90s, thousands of Indonesian Chinese Christians arrived in Philadelphia seeking escape from rampant ethnic and religious violence in their predominantly Muslim homeland. Many of them came to the city on temporary tourist visas that have long since expired. Many of them remain undocumented and face deportation if discovered. Now, Indonesians say that a wave of harassment, arrest and deportations have created a perception within the community that immigration officials are singling them out. Residents say they are afraid to answer their doors, reluctant to speak to outsiders or to even go to work. On what started as a normal day in May of last year, “Ricky” left his South Philadelphia apartment and got into a van already filled with five or six other Indonesians, on their way to work at a cleaning service. But they never made it to work that day. The van was pulled over by a police officer, who accused the driver of running a stop sign. Ricky claims the officer peered into the vehicle and asked the driver and all passengers for identification. When they failed to produce the proper paperwork, Ricky recounts the officer saying, “You’ve got a big problem here.” ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officials were on the scene within minutes, Ricky says. He and the other passengers were handcuffed and taken to a Scranton jail, where Ricky stayed for two months. Christian Chinese say stories like

Designed by William Lescaze and George Howe, the 36-story building is an undisputed masterpiece in the history of American architecture. Many original details that still exist today, such as, the Cartier clocks (still in operation), the bank vault doors, safe and safety deposit boxes.

Persona Non Grata, from page 9

Ricky’s are rampant and make the community wary of the police. Many Indonesians believe that immigration officials are working with police to single them out. “When you get pulled over by cops, if they think you’re undocumented, they can apprehend you,” says “David,” another immigrant from Indonesia. “They see your complexion—dark skin—broken English. They can detain and interrogate you in the police station.” Wary of informants, most Indonesians do not reveal whether they are here legally, even to each other, says “Brian,” who has lived in Philadelphia for 10 years. “We don’t ask each other, ‘How is the status?’” he says. “We’re protecting ourselves.” “They get picked up in front of their house, or in front of their workplace. Some people work in restaurant, some people work in dry cleaning, they came to their workplace,” the pastor of an Indonesian South Philly church says. “Why does ICE know this person’s new address or know where they work?” he asks. Dennis Mulligan, executive director of Nationalities Service Center, a nonprofit that provides services to immigrants, says cooperation between local and federal officials on immigration matters has been on the rise in recent years. The Indonesian Consulate in New York estimates that there are fewer than 4,000 Indonesians remaining in Philadelphia, down from a high of about 10,000 earlier in the decade. Ricky’s version of the story, if accurate, suggests that ICE could be working with Philadelphia police to identify and stop suspected undocumented immigrants. The community’s fear is further escalated by the ongoing wave of backlash against illegal immigrants across the country: An Arizona law scheduled to be implemented July 29 allows police officers to question people that they have a “reasonable suspicion” of being undocumented. A similar bill is under consideration in Pennsylvania. Where the Arizona law goes beyond mere cooperation is in giving local police detention powers traditionally reserved for the federal government. “The idea behind that is the local cop has the authority to ask someone’s status and take action,” Mulligan says. The difference in Ricky’s story is that the police did not make the arrests themselves, but instead called in ICE. “To the guys in the car, the distinc-

tion might be purely theoretical,” says Mulligan. Philadelphia ICE Spokesman Mark Medvesky says that Homeland Security does not target any particular community or ethnic group. “We look for people who are a threat to our community and our security regardless of what ethnic group or country they may come from,” says Medvesky. ICE investigates job sites suspected of hiring illegal labor, and works with local law enforcement to check the backgrounds of foreign-born suspects detained by the police. “If we do an operation and find people it’s because we expect to find them,” he says. Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not keep local statistics on

outside their home country and finding that they can’t return because they would be persecuted there,” he says. Returning home is not an appealing move for Chinese Christians who have always faced discrimination in Indonesia. In May 1998, in the midst of protests against then-President Suharto, rioters lashed out against minorities. “There was looting, burning Chinese people’s stores, burning churches, attacking Chinese and Christians,” says the pastor. “They say ‘you Chinese, you go back to your country.’” There were also reports of mass rapes of Chinese women. “I am hopeful that I will be able to stay in the United States,” Ricky continues. “When I ask my kids if they want to go, they say they want to stay

asylum claims for the last decade. He says the creation of the Department of Homeland Security following the 9/11 attacks directed extensive manpower and dollars toward finding and deporting illegal immigrants. “For the first time in American history we’ve been in a situation where people who are simply visa overstays are considered a threat,” Herzig says. “The Chinese Indonesians came at the wrong time in American immigration history.” One family has been fighting removal for seven years now. The couple came to Philadelphia in 1998 on tourist visas after the husband was pulled from his motorcycle and beaten up by an antiChinese mob. “When we came, we did not have information,” the husband says. “We did not know how to apply or anything.” He applied for asylum in 2003 after registering as an undocumented immigrant in compliance with the USA Patriot Act. “We’re been fighting the case the whole time,” he says, “but it’s close to the end.” The claim has been denied, and deportation is scheduled for June 23. They were basing their asylum claim on the welfare of their two children, who were born here, are American citizens, and do not speak Indonesian. Most of all, they are worried about their security. “I believe it is still unsafe,” the husband says. Other community members say they will continue to stay and work, and hope that the federal government passes reform that will allow them to stay legally. “The irony is while we are fighting terrorism we are sending back to the largest Muslim country in the world a Chinese Christian community,” Herzig says. The son of Holocaust survivors, he sees shades of Eastern European Jews in the Chinese Indonesians. “They are considered strangers in their own land though they have lived there for centuries,” Herzig says. “They have endured pogroms; they can be attacked with impunity—and they fear an even greater wave of violence yet to come.” *Due to the sensitive nature of immigration issues and ongoing asylum cases, the names and identities of Indonesians interviewed for this article have been changed or concealed. n

While waiting in the Scranton prison, Ricky says officials told him that he needed to apply for asylum—which he did—or else be deported. “They said that’s the only way out,” Ricky says through a translator. His claim is still pending. Asylum is the only option for Indonesian Chinese Christians who overstayed their visas but want to legalize their status. They’re not considered refugees because they come into the country directly from Indonesia, says Mulligan. “Generally speaking, for any person or group of persons to come to us as refugees they have to be living

because this is home.” He says if he is deported, his wife and two children will stay behind in Philadelphia so they can continue their education. Though Ricky remains optimistic he will be allowed to stay, recent history indicates that the outlook is grim. Neither the Third Circuit Court nor the Department of Justice keeps records on asylum claims by nationality. However, Judi Bernstein-Baker, executive director of HIAS and Council Migration Service, estimates that about 200 asylum cases have reached the Third Circuit in the past decade, and she has only heard of two that were successful. Those figures do not include cases that were heard in lower immigration courts and not appealed. Successful claims are rare thanks to a 2005 ruling by the federal Third Circuit Court of Appeals at Sixth and Market. In the asylum case Lie vs. Ashcroft , the court ruled that “the evidence in the record does not establish that there is a pattern or practice of persecution of Chinese Christians in Indonesia,” which set a precedent for future claims. “The door for asylums in this area has been virtually closed,” says Mulligan. Jack Herzig is an immigration lawyer who has helped Indonesians with

deportation by country. In November of last year, Mayor Nutter issued an executive order prohibiting law-enforcement officials from questioning an immigrant’s status “unless the status itself is a necessary predicate of a crime the officer is investigating.” Furthermore, police cannot question status for the purpose of enforcing immigration laws. Despite the order, Ricky claims his ride did stop at the sign that morning in South Philly. “The police were just looking for a reason to stop the van,” he claims. He believes that either the police or immigration officials had been tailing them for a week previously.

Summer Guide THE HOT, NOT AND OUGHT-TO-DO LISTS OF THE CITY.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 16-22, 2010

ight now on PW ’s website, the most read story is “Top 50 Bars.” Following it closely is “Top 10 Drug Corners.” Those stories were the covers of our March 5, 2008, and May 2, 2007, issues, respectively. But, yes, they are still among the most read. In fact, both have hovered in the top 10 most read stories on our website since they ran, and both continue to garner comments. We began to wonder why that is. The obvious answer: People fucking love lists. They’re easy to read. They’re helpful. They are the fun-size candy bar of print. What’s not to love? Truth is, editorial staffs love lists too, much for the same reasons. Hell, Philadelphia magazine has made lists a part of its permanent business model, putting a new one—Top Docs, Top Vets, Top Places Down Da Shore, Top Neighborhoods—on its cover every month. So we’re going list crazy, crazy, CRAZY. We’ve got hoards of lists here, spanning various topics of questionable importance and divided into easily digested sections (Food and Drink; People, Places and Things; Politics). You’ll ﬁnd more lists in our A&C sections as well—the best plays of the summer; the best art; the most anticipated concerts. Enjoy them. We thought long and hard about these lists, which is in no way code for “tossed it to our interns and let them run with it while we drank at Oscar’s next door.” This is the Summer Guide of Lists, people. After it, no publication in Philly will dare attempt to rank anything ever. You’re welcome.

the most antiquated misnomer in the city. And it was even better. 3. Cambodian. South Philly’s growing Cambodian population is mostly too fresh off the boat to have opened too many restaurants just yet. But a few places cropping up, like New Phnom Penh (2301 S. Seventh St.) and Kavei (320 W. Oregon Ave.), make us excited for the delicious blend of Thai, French and Vietnamese cuisine to come. 4. Vietnamese. Did we say the Italian Market was all Mexican now? Whoops. While Mexican food has cropped up, roots-style, in small pockets, Vietnamese cuisine has descended on South Philadelphia in the biggest concentration this side of the 38th parallel. And they’re spreading: from West Philly (Vietnam Cafe, 814 S. 47th St.) to the Northeast (Cafe Saigon, 827 Adams Ave., and Pho’75, 823 Adams Ave.) to the old Chinatown standbys. 5 Korean. Philadelphia’s Korean population is ﬁnally ﬁrmly entrenched enough to enjoy a wide range of spots, from the quick lunch (Giwa, 1608 Sansom St.; Koreana, 3801 Chestnut St.) to the fancy sit-down fusion spots (Sampan, 124 S. 13th St.)

TOP 4 AFTER-HOURS PLACES TO REALLY BLACKOUT.

1. Indian. Because man cannot live by all-you-can-eat buffet alone. Well, he can, but he’ll get fat(ter), and relative newcomers like Bindi (105 S. 13th St.) and Karma (114 Chestnut St.) prove there’s a higher plane we can aspire to. 2. Mexican. In the beginning, there was Taqueria Veracruzana (908 Washington Ave.). And it was good. Then Mexican food took over the whole of the Italian Market, making “Italian Market”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

1. Bob and Barbara’s, 1509 South St. 2. Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar, 1200 E. Passyunk Ave. 3. Medusa Lounge, 27 S. 21st St. 4. Dirty Frank’s, 347 S. 13th St. 5. Tritone, 1508 South St.

1. Jamaican Jerk Hut, 1436 South St. Huge, semi-enclosed backyard with picnic tables + jerk chicken + freshly made juice mixers for your vodka/tequila/rum = best way ever to spend a Saturday. Or Tuesday? 2. Apothecary, 102 S. 13th St. If you really, really like mixed drinks. Example: The Booty Collins has nine ingredients. The roofdeck looks out onto 13th Street. Prime peoplewatching. 3. Raw Sushi and Sake Lounge, 1225 Sansom St. Be outside and inside—at the same time! Private courtyard reminds us of the late and much-loved Washington Square. Fresh and innovative sushi. Hope it’s not coming from the Gulf. 4. Silk City Diner, 435 Spring Garden St. Around these parts, we call the outdoor patio the Beer Garden. Tecate in a can, anyone? Go for brunch and never look back. 5. Cavanaugh’s River Deck, 417 N. Columbus Blvd. Look, it ain’t Seacrets, but Cav’s is probably the best way to “enjoy” our waterfront. Not that there’s a whole lot of competition in that category to start with. Damn good food and drink specials.

TOP 5 CUISINES YOU SHOULD ADD TO YOUR PALATES

MICHAEL PERSICO

1. Bonk’s Bar, Tioga and Richmond. Bikers are known for many things, two of which are not racial tolerance and being nonwhite. As a result, a place where they gather to blow off steam might well be the most dangerous place for anyone even remotely of color. 2. Triangle Bar, 10th and Reed. It was in this very paper that a 2008 article described how an employee of this Bella Vista bar went on a violent, racist tirade against an interracial couple. Don’t feel comforted that there’s a police station right down the way. They didn’t respond then and they probably won’t now. 3. Raw Dog Saloon, Second and Morris. We’re pretty sure this isn’t the only bar in Philly where a large number of Flyers fans yelled the N-word at the screen every time Montreal Canadiens defender PK Subban came on screen during this year’s playoffs, but we deﬁnitely know it’s one of them.

1. Breakfast Bomb. 2. Jeb’s Open Faced Biscuit Sandwich. 3. Huevos Rancheros. 4. Chicken Fried Steak Platter. 5. Fried Shrimp Po-boy Sandwich.

4. “Enjoy your second home.” Noelle, Dahlak. 5. “I’m gonna bank the eight.” Christine, Green Room.

MICHAEL PERSICO

1. Here It Is, 15th and Stiles. Periodically, the staff at this quaint establishment have to ask wandering college students to curb their patronage for the simple reason that “You bring dem white girls in here and all the regulars start acc’in crazy.” 2. The Purple Orchid, 61st and Passyunk. This strip club boasts the world’s narrowest aisle between the bar and the wall, making it extra unpleasant for white people attempting to squeeze by disgruntled locals as they are simultaneously harassed by heinously made-up girls who will never look you in the eye unless there’s evidence of at least a couple of dollars on the bar that aren’t being spent on a drink. 3, Shorty’s, 52nd and Woodland. It’s sad white people don’t get to enjoy one of the most talentencrusted karaoke nights in the city. The soulful sounds of a live band and the surprising mic skill of the contestants still don’t drown out yells of ‘Yo old head!,’ which remains the only way to get the bartender’s attention and is a phrase impossible for white people to say correctly. Go ahead. Test it out.

TOP 5 RALLIES Philadelphia is the home of free speech, and it deﬁnitely shows in the number of rallies held here. 1. When Nutter decided to combat the city’s deﬁcit by implementing a soda tax in March, the soda lobby (see: Coca-Cola) staged a boisterous and public-servicelike announcement at City Hall. It worked.

2. Ballsy Frank Gilanelli, the small-business owner who escalated an immigration rally in Old City last month, berated supporters of immigration reform, shouting such gems as: “What part of ‘illegal’ do you not understand?” 3. Librarians tired of being singled out grabbed their books—again—along with their balls and protested. Not just outside City Hall, either. Outside Nutter’s office door. Too bad the hizzoner wasn’t in. 4. Temple University Hospital made national headlines when its 5,000 nurses rallied during a month-long strike. Their picketing and protesting eventually gained them the support of Michael Moore, America’s most extreme ﬁ lmmaker. 5. Fewer than ﬁve people rallied outside a Roxborough BP on Monday. The effort was led by a 17-year-old. Who probably still wants a car.

Line. 7. Walt Whitman Bridge. 8. 676 West exit off 95 (have a passenger take the picture, please!) 9. The Victor’s Pub at the Victor Luxury Lofts, Camden Waterfront, N.J. 10. The Zoo Balloon at the Philadelphia Zoo.

Tina Fey

Boyz II Men Patti LaBelle Joan Jett Bill Cosby Tina Fey Rob McElhenney Vince Papale Eve Will Smith Wilt Chamberlain

TOP 5 CELLS AT EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY 1. Death row. When the prison closed, the death-row bars separating the inmates from the guards were ripped out and sold for scrap metal. But with the debris scattered everywhere and the walls crumbling, it looks like Eastern State’s most vicious took matters into their own hands, tearing out the gates themselves. 2. The central guard tower. Broken windows, 360-degree views and a rustedout tower. When the zombies ﬁnally come, you’ll want to stage lookout from here. 3. Al Capone’s cell. The celebrity power here is undeniable, but the rug, bed, radio and other knickknacks in Capone’s Al Capone's cell

4 PUZZLING PRESS RELEASES WE’VE RECEIVED THIS YEAR

1. Brian Tierney’s announcement of a 3-D Philadelphia Inquirer. Tierney said the goal was to “push the experience readers can get from newspapers.” Apparently, because Avatar was successful in 3-D (comparing movies and newspapers makes sense) and because a 3-D issue of Playboy also was popular (duh, naked chicks in your face), it is logical to assume that a 3-D Inquirer also will be successful. 2. The Philadelphia Police Department announced back in April that first-graders at the Rhawnhurst School will be fingerprinted. Childrens’ fingerprints, height, weight and voice will be recorded on a CD. “In a case of a lost or missing child, the CD can be given to police to assist with the investigation.” (What about in case of a lost or missing CD?) Sorry, second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-graders, you’re shit out of luck if you get lost or kidnapped. 3. SEPTA’s Passenger Etiquette Program announces that it has changed its food and drink rules. “Why make adjustments? In today’s travel environment, the time riding on SEPTA may be the only break a person has between home and taking

the kids to daycare, between work and school, or a first and second job. It may be the only time to have a light snack or our quench one’s thirst.” (Yes, all the mistakes you see in there were in the press release). What is considered a “light” snack, you ask? “Chips, fruit and candy bars are snacks. It is without question that cooked and prepared foods are not meant to be consumed on a vehicle in motion with customers in motion.” Funny, crushed chips and sunflower seeds are usually the food items most observed on the floor of a subway train. 4. “Hector the Pitbull is in Philadelphia today doing humane education (John Wister, Penn, Buzzy’s Bow Wow). At 2pm he will be meeting with Councilman Kelly and then will be stopping by the offices of the other Councilmembers.” Michael Vick’s former fighter has more access to City Council than most citizens.

Try starting the conversation yourself, that will probably scare them away pretty good.

a fully paperless government could annually save the city $214 million to $340 million, Green says.

4 RIDICULOUS QUOTES RELATING TO SESTAK-GATE

•

1. Illustrating his political inexperience, Joe Sestak creates scandal on Feb. 18. Speaking to Philly journalist Larry Kane, who asks, “Were you ever offered a federal job to get out of this race?” Sestak replies: “Yes.” 2. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs plays the part of Alfred E. Neuman: Feb. 23: “I have not looked into this.” March 1: “I have not made any progress on that.” March 12: “I don’t have any more information on that.” March 16: “Whatever conversations have been had are not problematic.” June 1 (When asked why the White House waited three months to release a memo potentially clearing themselves of any wrongdoing on the matter): “I don’t know the answer.” 3. Speaking on the May 30 edition of Fox News Sunday, Guv Ed tries to make himself relevant, though forgets how his own scandal relating to Sestak-gate went down: “I did the same thing in 2006 to ask a former congressman, Joe Hoeffel, to drop out of the race against Bob Casey in the primary… I said come back and see me if you do it. He came back and saw me, and he was out of public service. I pointed him as a deputy secretary of commerce. He did a great job.” (Rendell actually offered the spot so Hoeffel

1. One of the most contentious pieces of legislation: the bicycle bill supported by Frank DiCicco and James Kenney. It would have “required the registration of a bicycle” as well as implemented penalties for violations. But this anti-pedal-power bill would have crushed Nutter’s goal of being America’s greenest mayor. Fail! 2. The promoter bill supported by Councilmen Bill Greenlee and Darrell Clarke, would have potentially destroyed the city’s music scene. Council would like to ruin everything for anyone under the age of 35, but that, too, failed (need to put info on most up-to-date info on this). 3. Councilman Darrell Clarke wants to regulate “the installation of satellite dish antennas in residential districts,” alluding to the notion that unattractive antennas put the quality of peoples’ lives at stake. Because there’s nothing else happening in Philly that puts the quality of peoples’ lives at stake. 4. While a ban on plastic bags makes a lot of environmental AND economic sense, Bill No. 09007401 failed twice due to the aggressive lobbying efforts of the plastic-bag industry. Councilmen DiCicco and Kenney wanted this one. So did we. 5. Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr. proposed that the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter be amended to limit City Council to three consecutive four-year terms. Capping the term limits of Council seems fair, but most members disagreed, citing the importance of experience. 6. Beginning in July 2011, those who lobby public ofﬁcials would be required to inform the Philadelphia Board of Ethics and report their spending. Not only did this bill pass early this month, but it also permits government employees to take a shot in city politics. ■

June 16-22, 2010

Some of us reject the notion that city government is a zero-sum game between higher taxes and fewer libraries. We consulted with watchdogs, legislators and bureaucrats to come up with a list of ways to increase efficiencies in City Hall so we aren’t faced with another budget disaster at this time next year. 1. Collect on its debts: “The city is not doing a good job of overseeing and monitoring contracts,” said Deputy City Controller Harvey Rice. He ran off a laundry list of examples: The Office of Administrative Review failed to collect $54 million in fines for various city violations. Emergency Services are owed $35 million, and the police about $4 million. Rice says the city also loses more than $1.5 million a year in interest because it takes so long to deposit the checks it does collect. That’s not to speak of the more than $500 million in taxes owed the city. 2. Stiff the unions: Last year, the police union won a contract

with seven percent pay raises over five years. The city’s three other municipal unions are still working without a contract and will want a similar deal, which the city cannot afford. Former city controller candidate and good-government advocate Brett Mandel said, “The biggest thing Nutter can do [to save money] in the short run is the union contracts. If Nutter did a better deal for the taxpayers, that’s probably the place where the savings could be achieved the fastest,” Mandel said. 3. Close a prison: The Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB) is saving the city big bucks already, but it’s only just getting started, says Councilman Green. “CJAB saved the prison system $9 million in courts and $8 million in police overtime. That’s the tip of the iceberg as to what CJAB can save the system,” Green said. “It’s completely possible for us in the next 5 years to close a prison.” Such a move would save the city $150 million every five years, he estimates. How do we do it? Better case management to dispose of some cases prior to arraignment, and ankle bracelets to keep pre-trial detainees on house arrest. 4. Eliminate the row offices: What the hell is a row office, anyway? Archaic elected offices that perform obscure functions. There were six of them: Three city commissioners to run elections; the clerk of Quarter Sessions to keep court documents; a sheriff to serve warrants and transport prisoners; and a Register of Wills. The clerk of Quarter Sessions is all but a thing of the past since the city forced Vivan Miller to resign last winter when it became apparent court records were in complete disarray. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority estimates the city would save $13 million to $15 million if the rest of the row offices were eliminated and their functions folded into other government departments. 5. Paperless government: Councilman Frank Rizzo complained to us that every day he receives documents mailed from the second floor of City Hall up to his fourth floor office, complete with a 44cent stamp. The stamp really highlights the absurdity of the practice, but the bigger waste is that the government is using paper documents at all. According to a policy paper by (who else?) Green, the city spends $14 million a year on paper and paper infrastructure. And for every dollar spent on paper, $13

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

1. Alan Butkovitz: The City Controller’s website looks like a campaign advertisement. “Butkovitz finds dangerous conditions in police facilities persist.” “Butkovitz raises concern over projected $50 million deficit.” “Butkovitz’ charter school investigation faults school district for lack of oversight.” He claims to have found more than $400 million in potential revenues and savings for the city since first elected in 2005. The guy is dynamic, involved and has experience winning citywide elections. Although one might think department employees should get a little more credit, unless Butkovitz is conducting all those investigations and audits by himself. 2. Amy Kurland: Crooks shudder at her very name. And her lack of photo only adds to her badassness. Kurland’s tenacious pursuit of criminal waste and fraud among city employees has been making headlines all year. As the Inspector General, she’s busted cell-phone scammers, indolent Department of Human Services employees and, just last week, crooked Parking Authority officials. Last year, Inspector General investigations led to the firing or suspension of 45 crooked city employees. Kurland has been so effective rooting out corruption she might be more valuable in her current position than she could be as mayor. 3. Bill Green: The freshman councilman-at-large is by far the most vocal and active member of Council. If there’s a pressing issue in the city, Bill Green wants to talk about it. He took the lead looking for budget cuts this year, and has prepared reform proposals for paperless government, ethics rules, business taxes and the education system. It’s clear he’s using his Council seat to gain visibility for a run at higher office, perhaps to follow in his father’s footsteps as mayor of Philadelphia. But if Green’s attention-grabbing tactics can shake up Council and bring new and interesting ideas to the table, good. 4. Maria Quiñones-Sánchez: Could City Council’s first Latina member advance all the way to

the Mayor’s Office? She’s got the smarts and the ambition, and extensive ties to community activists that would help her campaign efforts. She won the 7th District with more than 80 percent of the vote in 2007, and has support extending beyond just the Hispanic community. Sánchez has worked closely with Bill Green on a number of projects, including ethics bills and tax reform. A primary battle between the two toughtalking allies would be fascinating to watch. 5. Clay Armbrister: Nutter’s chief of staff knows the inner workings of the executive office better than anyone. Before signing on as Nutter’s sidekick, Armbrister served as city treasurer in the Rendell administration, and more recently was a senior VP at Temple. He tends to get stuck with Nutter’s dirty work—testifying at budget hearings, writing threatening letters to Council, addressing implacable library protestors—which could harm his popularity in certain quarters. He’s not the flashiest guy around, but something about him just screams “competent.”

Joyceans have celebrated the date, known as Bloomsday, by tracing Leopold and other characters’ footsteps around the Irish capital. Bloomsday is no joke in Philly either, where the Rosenbach Museum & Library has been home to Joyce’s original manuscript since 1924. Joyce junkies and philistines alike will be able to get their fix, as the Rosenbach is hosting a day of activities celebrating the role of food, feasting, and fine dining in the novel. The streets will be blocked off, refreshments served, Ulysses-related exhibits viewable, and roughly 75 notable local Joyce-freaks—including free-jazz legend Dave Burrell, Monk’s founder Fergie Carey, and Nobel Prize winner Baruch Samuel Blumberg—will be reading passages from the book. elliott ShaRp

It’s hard not to have a crush on one or both Mates of State—singer/drummer Jason Hammel and singer/keyboardist Kori Gardner, the husband-and-wife duo that’s made buoyant and swoonworthy indie-pop for 13 years now. The Mates have crushes of their own; we’re talking about Crushes, a new covers album that’s one of the more interesting and eclectic such projects we’ve heard. Tunes by Tom Waits, the Mars Volta, Belle & Sebastian, Fleetwood Mac, Daniel Johnston and Nick Cave, among others, get the Mates of State treatment. Expect a healthy dose of those sonic crushes tonight, and perhaps some new material destined for the Mates’ next album. Michael alan GoldberG 8pm. $14-$16. With Todd Barry + Suckers.

OrphéE ET EurydicE

You may remember delightful Romanian mezzosoprano Ruxandra Donose from her very feminine turns in the title roles of past Philadelphia Opera productions of The Italian Girl in Algiers and Cinderella, but this season she’s wearing the pants in Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice. Donose is no stranger to “pants” roles (that is, roles originally written for castrati, which are sung by women now that castrating boys with nice prepubescent singing voices is no longer an OK thing to do); she made her Royal Opera debut as Sesto in Giulio Cesare and her debuts at both Paris National Opera and the Met as Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro. The opera, which was written to be seen on a small scale (no deafening Valkyries here), will be performed in an appropriately intimate venue in the Perelman Theater at the Kimmel Center. eMily

It’s just another activity for them to do,” she says.

Cowboys drink whiskey. Hunter S. Thompson drank whiskey. Johnny Cash drank whiskey. There is no better way to develop a taste for it than trial by fire—with no escape route. The Philadelphia Whisky Classic allows you to sample more than 100 varieties of whiskey and single-malt scotch while cruising around the Delaware on the Spirit of Philadelphia. Even better: The hooch is poured by distillery managers and master blenders from Scotland, Ireland, Canada and Japan. (They feed you, too. Be prepared to choose chicken, fish or pasta from the buffet.) While the admission price for Philadelphia’s largest whiskey tasting is a little steep, you have to consider it an investment in

Ceremony emerged in the mid-’00s from San Francisco’s punk scene with a turbo-charged, aggressively alienated sound. Punknews called their debut, Violence Violence, “a modern hardcore masterpiece,” and AbsolutePunk described the follow-up, Still Nothing Moves You, as “a nearly nonstop blistering ride.” Yet even as tours with Converge and AFI solidified the band’s hardcore credentials, Ceremony began to diverge from the formula. Its new album, Rohnert Park, out this month on Bridge Nine, includes group singing, tape samples and one surprisingly personal, vulnerable song about the time singer Ross Farrar couldn’t save a neighbor’s life.

HealtH + indian Jewelry God knows what Nine Inch Nails fans made of Health last summer when the drum-battering, mic-torturing, spazzed-out noise combo opened on Trent Reznor’s last-ever extravaganza. For this date, they’re sharing a more natural bill with Indian Jewelry, the Houstonbased, distortion-fuzzed outgrowth of Swarm of Angels and NTX + Electric. Lately, both bands have been leaning away from free-form noise and towards a warped, woozy form of dance music. Health’s latest salvo was its remix album Disco2, a collection of radiant reinterpretations of Get Color tracks by artists including Javelin, Tobacco and (also on this bill) Gold Panda. Indian Jewelry’s Totaled, out this spring on We Are Free, spliced dronedout mantras with the undulating rhythms of drum machines. J.K. 7:30pm. $12.

tHe meaning of mattHew It’s been just over 10 years since two men robbed, pistol-whipped and tortured a 21-year-old college student, leaving him hanging on a fence like a scarecrow in rural Wyoming. It was a gay-bashing felt around the world, spurring horror, discourse and several films. It also compelled Matthew’s mother, Judy, to publicly fight for gay rights. In addition to founding the Matthew Shepard Foundation, Judy penned the heart-wrenching memoir The Meaning of Matthew, in which she describes the son she knew and how his murder affected her family—and the world. Her story helped not only to change hearts, but to incite politicians to action: After languishing in Congress for a decade, the Matthew Shepard Act was finally signed by President Obama last October, both a relief and sober reminder for Judy and the GLBT community.

In Search of the Douchebag A crawl up Third Street, from Oregon to Girard. By Bill Chenevert feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com The premise was simple enough: A crawl of the Third Street corridor’s bars, from Oregon to Girard, to investigate the nearly three-mile stretch with the reputation of having the highest douchebag-bar concentration in the city. But what exactly constitutes a douchebag bar, you ask? It’s broad, but I compiled a ranking system by asking that question of various people I met along my journey. The most common responses involved similarity of patrons to one another, fights, fashion cliches and open mistrust or mistreatment of the Other (whether gay, female, of color, skinny, fat, etc.). I found my definition challenged at each destination, which I lined up bottom-to-top. (Note: If you haven’t ever tried to bike or drive around Pennsport, around Snyder, Third becomes Second, Second becomes Third and Moyamensing screws everything up. If an address is on Second St., just take our word for it.) Nickels Tavern (2655 S. Second St.) was just about empty. A delightful Two Street native named Nicole bartended with a solid tan and a heartwarming accent. Fights-wise, every second Saturday she serves beer to men just out of extreme wrestling bouts at the Arena who are sometimes held together with stitches and bloody bandages, but that’s only once a month. Anyway, in Nicole’s experience, guys who’ve been fighting all night just want another beer, not another brawl, much less to fight in the amateur sense. Nicole’s instinct when pressed to name the Douchiest Philly Bar was Fatso Foggerty’s (2655 S. 18th St.), a bar that in her experience is full of junkies, addicts and dickheads. RANKING: 6 Off to Raw Dawgs Saloon (1700 S. Second St.) at Morris St., on the border of Pennsport and Queens Village. Demerits for the vaguely Irish theme, the (sparse) presence of loudmouth South Philly guys and the incredibly loud jukebox. A regular named Jimmy was playing Springsteen, which was a slight relief from Eminem, but even the Boss gets grating when you can’t hear yourself think. Thankfully, nice bartender Scott turned down the jukebox to talk to me, giving me one of my best definitions of the night: “What do you mean by douchebags? Like, five guys who look all alike?” RANKING: 5 Makos (301 South St.) was where the night took off, as I started getting to bars that had more people than I could count on my fingers. I parked my bike in front of O’Neals (611 S. Third St.), and the bouncer, Dan, confirmed that Jon’s Bar & Grille

(606 S. Third St.) was more upscale, but that I was about to hit the douchebag jackpot at Makos. But, I soon realized, Dan must have been operating off yet another definition of the word. Makos was more populated with South Street-type freaks and weirdos. While Rammstein and Rob Zombie blared and strobes flashed, no one seemed douchey so much as frightening and dangerous. RANKING: 4 National Mechanics (22 S. Third St.) isn’t so bad on its own, despite its Old City location. Some sweet girls took me under their wing and had a wealth of expertise to offer. Lianna, Allie, Sarah and Jenn offered some traits from the perspective of female bargoers as to what constitutes a douchebag: “Guys who think they are the shit when they’re not,” “Screaming in a bar” and “Acting like you’re in a frat when you’re 29.” With the aid of their trained female eyes, I counted five d-bags (from afar) here, one confirmed by Jenn, “He’s talking to girls and looking around.” Damning! RANKING: 2 McFaddens (459 N. Third St.), in that weird pocket between Spring Garden and the expressway that’s dead aside from a few Walmart-sized bars, was a mystifying experience. With a $5 cover and $4.50 Lager drafts served in a plastic cup, apparently the patrons here have money to blow. It was here that music began to play a significant part in my ranking criteria. Think “Cherry Pie,” “Get Low” and then “Cotton-Eyed Joe” to get the party started. One dude went over to a tall woman of color in heels, danced up on her for a few seconds, then came back to his friends and collected his high fives. “I did it!” Ugh, I was out of there, $5 cover or not. RANKING: 1 North Third (801 N. Third St.) is tricky. This Northern Liberties bar had few popped collars and the “Cotton-Eyed Joe” count was at zero (thank god), but bartender Scott’s words echoed in my mind. “Like, five guys who look all alike?” Is a crew of loud dudes with identical wash jeans and black buttondowns really that different from a crew of loud dudes with the same plaids, knit hats and whimsical facial hair? Or there’s always bad manners, the staff reminded me. “Getting called ‘sweetie’ or ‘hon,’ snapping at an empty glass, ordering things that aren’t on the menu, sitting at a dirty table” are all behaviors they’d classify as douchebaggery. RANKING: 3 Conclusion: McFaddens is clearly the Douchiest Bar on Third Street! I’m not going to lie, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” had a lot to do with my ruling. n

Summer Studio at ICA

rfallon@philadelphiaweekly.com

ICA’s Summer Studio with Anthony Campuzano—the free, month-long series of drop-in art activities like film screenings, art-making, exhibits, classroom re-enactments, bull sessions and more—offers art school ambiance without the assignments, grades or guilt. Organized by the Tyler-trained Campuzano, who showed at ICA in 2009, this summer school-ish experience follows on the heels of Ed Winkleman’s classroomin-a-gallery hashtag class in February. Bravo, ICA, for plunging into this new art edu-tainment territory. Y

Art Gallery at City Hall The new 700-square-foot Art Gallery at City Hall, with its high ceilings, fixed walls and lots of natural light, brings art into the seat of power like never before. The brainchild of Gary Steuer, head of the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, Art Gallery at City Hall lives at street level in Steuer’s new offices. The gallery’s mission is to help arts organizations with their programs; thus, On the Rise features work by 12 artists from three nonprofits: InLiquid, the Center for Emerging Visual Artists and Philadelphia Sculptors. The gallery is not an offshoot of the Art in City Hall program, which will continue to display art in the glass cases on the Second and Fourth floors. Rather, it will be run separately with the help of an Advisory Council made up of arts professionals, Steuer says. Check out the new gallery at the open house on June 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

OMG these artists are so cute and the art is totally cool and Jerry Saltz is awesome did you see him tell that guy he’s not an artist?! Seriously, if you’re not watching this TV art competition, hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker, what are you watching?

David Kessler’s documentary video portraits, screening on a monitor at International House’s lobby, feel like National Geographic shorts devoted to the citizens of Philadelphia’s outer reaches. As with Errol Morris’ documentaries, Kessler’s works have no narrative voiceover to help you figure out the backstory. But that’s part of their appeal.

Herb and Dorothy Vogel are newsworthy not just for having recently given away one of the best contemporary art collections in existence, but also because they assembled it while planted firmly in the middle class. Herb was a postal worker and Dorothy a librarian; they lived on one salary and spent the other collecting art. At one point, their apartment got so full they gave the art to the National Gallery. But even they couldn’t hold it all, so they passed some on to museums in each of the 50 states. PAFA is the recipient of 50 Vogel pieces, mostly small works on paper, 30 of which go on view this month.

Although Rick Lyon’s saucy puppets have gotten all the buzz, the show’s real stars are Jeff Whitty, Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, whose hilariously profane book and lyrics make the musical a must-see. Following Q is the sensationally sassy Dreamgirls (June 22-27), the backstage story of a girl-group trio bearing a striking resemblance (personally and musically) to the Supremes.

Over the summer, you can usually find much of Philly’s top theater talent an hour north of the city at DeSales University, home of the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival. It’s not all Shakespeare, though: PSF’s eight-show season includes Barrymore-winning director James J. Christy’s production of J.M. Synge’s subversive comedy The Playboy of the Western World (June 16-July 3) in the intimate Schubert Theatre and Stephen Sondheim’s vaudevilleinspired, Tony-winning musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (June 23-July 11) on the Main Stage. Following up Playboy in the Schubert Theatre is Shakespeare’s rowdy comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor (July 14-Aug. 8). Finally, street gangs, clueless parents and two very horny teenagers take to the Main Stage in PSF’s staging of Romeo and Juliet (July 21-Aug. 8). Fight choreographer Dennis Razze helms the production, so

Hotshot solo artist John Leguizamo arrives in town with his new production Klass Klown (June 24-June 30) at Philadelphia Theatre Company’s Suzanne Roberts Theatre. An autobiographical look at Leguizamo’s life and career told with his usual energy and streetwise savvy, Klown is loaded with stories about Leguizamo’s early days in alternative theater, his daring solo shows Freak and Spic-O-Rama and his later Hollywood period.

Second City For the second summer in a row, Philadelphia Theatre Company hosts Chicago’s Second City comedy troupe (July 13-25). This time, the program will recall the best sketches and improv from the group’s 50-year history. The production features scenes created by Second City alumni like Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Gilda Radner and more. $20-$59. Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S. Broad St. 215.985.0420. philadelphiatheatrecompany.org.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

$39. Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S. Broad St. 215.985.0420. westbethent.com

Three Sisters + Measure for Measure

Temple Repertory Theater debuts with rotating productions of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters (July 3-Aug. 1) and Shakespeare’s problem play Measure for Measure (July 6-30). Running in repertory at Temple’s Tomlinson Theater, both productions have stellar casts of Temple MFA students including the alluring Barrymore winner Geneviève Perrier (Skylight) and Obie-winning actress Yvette Ganier. Director Dan Kern plans to exploit the intimate seating arrangement to thrust the audience into Paul Schmidt’s contemporary translation of Sisters. $15-$25. Tomlinson Theater, 1301 W. Norris St. 215.204.8414. temple.edu/theater/TRT

The Secret of Sherlock Holmes

The world’s greatest detective returns to People’s Light & Theatre Company in Jeremy Paul’s original play The Secret of Sherlock Holmes (July 7-Aug. 8), with the script focusing on Holmes’ (Peter DeLaurier) unusual relationship with his buddy Dr. Watson (Mark Lazar). DeLaurier, whose intellectually vigorous and emotionally fragile characterization of Holmes in PLTC’s 2008 staging of Katie Forgette’s Sherlock Holmes & the Case of the Jersey Lily breathed fresh life into one of literature’s most enduring characters, is worth the ticket price. $29-$48. People's Light & Theatre, 39 Conestoga Rd., Malvern. 610.644.3500. peopleslight.org

With its frolicsome, breezy humor, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the unofficial favorite play of summer. First, the enterprising Shakespeare in Clark Park company celebrates its fifth anniversary with a free Midsummer staging in, as you may have guessed, West Philly’s Clark Park (July 28-Aug. 1). Director Maria Möller’s production relies on the natural setting, using the park’s giant oak as a home for fairy rulers Oberon (Bradley K. Wrenn) and his queen Titania (Victoria Frings). Free. Clark Park, 43rd and Baltimore Ave. 215.462.2115. shakespeareinclarkpark.org.

Second, Mauckingbird Theatre Company brings a queer aesthetic to Midsummer (Aug. 20-Sept. 12) in a new reimagining of Shakespeare’s fantastical comedy from co-directors Peter Reynolds and Lynne Innerst. Set at an elite boarding school where romances of all persuasions bloom, the new staging introduces a society in which sexuality is fluid and gender boundaries are indistinct. $15-$20. Randall Theatre, 2030 N. 13th St. 215.923.8909.mauckingbirdtheatreco.org n

With Pearce Bunting as Emcee, Theatre Exile promises to bring you some of Philadelphia’s favorite actors, dancers and musicians performing their most cutting-edge work. $25-$50. Begins June 23. Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St. theatreexile.org

Music Summer Gig Guide

Summer Guide

Welcome to the year 2010, where only bands from the ’90s play. By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

Arcade Fire

Kings of Leon

Deftones

Black Keys

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

The year is 2025. You’ve just seen your good friend and mentor “Doc” Emmett Brown gunned down. You’re being chased by a van of terrorists. Shit is intense. You quickly, and without looking, punch in a date to travel to in Doc’s time-traveling DeLorean (which he invented 40 years prior, but is now standard issue) that’s fueled by garbage and equipped with a Flux Capacitor. You slam down on the gas pedal, break past 88 miles-per-hour, and nearly crash into Pat’s King of Steaks (which you know as Subway’s King of Steaks) on the other side of breaking the space/time continuum into whatever year you’ve landed. There’s garbage blowing everywhere, per usual, and this very page of PW blows onto your chest, sticks—a summer concert calendar. You look it over, scanning the names: The Breeders, Pavement, Faith No More, Puddle of Mudd, Tortoise, Sting, Hanson, Alice in Chains, Barenaked Ladies, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Aretha Franklin. You’ve heard some of these bands played on the Oldies station. You recognize others from the class you took at Temple Community College (shit gets weird in the future)—Music of the ’90s: A Study of the Tastes of Two Very Different Types of White People. Still, you just can’t figure it out: What? Year? Is? It? Slowly you glance to the bottom right hand corner of the page. Surprise! It’s 2010, motherfucker! All these bands are just reuniting, you see. Or have decided this is the year they’d gas back up after a long hiatus, though no one was really clamoring for them to. Here, we’ve rounded up the really good, the really bad, the reunions and the rejects for a summer roundup of live concerts. The band names are in bold. Sorry they couldn’t be in the 3-D you’re used to. First, the good news: If you buy your tickets in June, Live Nation won’t charge you those pesky, exorbitant “service fees” for all shows at Susquehanna Bank Center, the Great Plaza and Festival Pier. At Great Plaza that means getting bluesy with Ohio duo the Black Keys on July

30 ($32-$35), who are touring with a full band this go around for their new, excellent album Brothers. At the beginning of the month, July 2, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward will try their best to put you to sleep as She & Him for the reasonable price of $26-$29. Oh, whoa man! Did you just step in a pile of shit? No, it’s a Puddle of Mudd. But really, we’re just arguing symantics here. They bring their stylized brand of “Can You Believe Anyone Ever Liked This Terrible Schlock” to the Festival Pier alongside Chevelle and Sevendust on July 30 for the aptly titled “Carnival of Madness,” sponsored by WMMR ($39.50-$42.50). Earlier in the month, July 17, the Pier hosts Sublime with Rome and Matisyahu. Translation: Sublime with a new singer named Rome Ramirez sharing a bill with a Hasidic Jew Rapper ($39.50). Sounds awful? Actually, he’s pretty fly … for a white guy. Speaking of which, the Offspring keep the ’90s Train rolling at Festival Pier when they play there with 311 on July 13 ($49.50). While we’re on the subject of white guys, let’s talk about the whitest of them all: Sting. He brings his tantric, Rainforest-y vibes to Susquehanna Bank Center on July 10 ($42.25$157.25). Tim McGraw stops by the same venue the night before on his tour with Lady Antebellum ($30.75-$73.25, which means he’ll have to hear that “It’s a quarter after one…” chorus sung night in, night out for a good portion of the summer. Pray he doesn’t voluntarily eat a bullet. From the Dapartment of Living Legends: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are set to break hearts at the Wachovia Center on July 31 and August 1 ($52.50-$128) and Sir Paul McCartney does the same on August 14 (price of a compact car). From the Department of Legends in their Own Minds: Lady Gaga’s ego touches down September 14 and 15, also at Wachovia ($52.50$178, show on 14 already sold out). Kings of Leon play the SBC on Aug. 5. ($36.50-$61.50), the night after glad-they’re-

Canadians Barenaked Ladies sacrifice Chickity China, the Chinese chicken live onstage ($49.50-$69.50). This all operating on the hope that the whole venue hasn’t been pulled into a giant Black Hole of Suck after Limp Bizkit reunite with opener Ice Cube (you read that right) at SBC on July 27 ($26.25-$55.75.) Other shows in jeopardy: Rihanna, with special guest Ke$ha (Aug. 18, $31-$106), Ozzfest (Aug. 22, $39.50-$155) and Alice in Chains with Deftones and Mastodon (Sept. 25, $45-$65). Oh, wait. Creed play Aug. 17 ($16.25-$26.25), so maybe ignore that last sentence. Elsewhere outdoors you’ve got reunions aplenty at the Mann center, where Faith No More will be asking “What is it?!” on July 3 ($25-$49.50), and Pavement ask “What about the voice of Geddy Lee?” on Sept. 17 ($37.50). Also at the Mann, the Squeeze will be pulling mussels from the shell with some help from Cheap Trick on July 16 ($29.50-$53.50). Arcade Fire team up with Spoon at the Mann on Aug. 2 ($29.50-$49.50), after being shown how it’s done by the mightily righteous duo of Team WTF—Aretha Franklin and Condoleezza Rice—when they play with the Philadelphia Orchestra on July 27 ($24-$95). If all of that still isn’t outdoorsy/summery enough for you, get your camping on while checking out the stellar lineup of Philadelphia Folk Fest this year, Aug. 20-22—Bonnie “Prince” Billy, A.A. Bondy, Jeff Tweedy, Taj Mahal and many, many more at folkfest.org. Or how about the Concerts Under the Stars out at the King of Prussia Summer Concert Series, starting on July 18 with Dala/Vance Gilbert and continuing July 25 with Francis Dunnery. The series ends with a bang Aug. 1 with Sonny Landreth. All shows are $10, unless you’re under 16 or over 62, then they’re free! Now let’s get down with a lightning round! Femi Kuti will blow your mind in a good way (TLA, July 10, $25). Hanson and Rooney will blow it in a bad way (TLA, July 25, $30). Broken Social Scene with the Sea & the Cake will put it all back together again either way on Sept. 14 (TLA, $25). Unrest reunite at Johnny Brenda’s (July 6, $15). The Breeders do the same at First Unitarian Church (Sept. 3, $20). Hole join this reunion party too on June 22 at the Electric Factory ($35). We’re guessing they’ll be the last to leave. Speaking of leaving, the terrorists have found you! Back in the DeLorean you go! n

Playing Favorites

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

I t’s tempting to be unenthusiastic about record releases these days. With leaks, digital downloads and continuously pushed-back street dates, the release date isn’t exactly exciting any more, and doesn’t send folks running to the record store like it used to. But that’s all a bunch of stinkin’ thinkin’. There are some solid and exciting releases to expect this summer and we’ve broken them down for you by genre to mark your calendar and budget your downloads.

Pissed Jeans

IP-HOP: Finally, we’ve got our hip-hop H sluggers. Big Boi’s given us some of the most remarkable hip-hop of the past decade and a half with Outkast, and now his solo record looks to be all that and more. Sir Lucious Left Foot hits the streets July 6. “Shutterbugg” is the outstandingly funky single and accordingly sick video and tantalizing feature guests abound: Janelle Monae, Gucci Mane and George Clinton to name a few. Not to mention the Andre 3000 produced track, “You Ain’t No DJ.” Finally, Eminem’s surprisingly happy-go-lucky LP Recovery, drops next week. Enjoy your summer! n

Pissed Jeans is one of our favorite bands. As such, we asked Jeans’ drummer Sean McGuinness to sit down for a little game of “Playing Favorites,” wherein … oh, you can figure it out. Favorite member of the Wu Tang Clan: Brendan Suppression Shampoo: My soapy bar. Sport: Baseball. (Duh.) Beverage: Beer. Sexual Position: Johnny lump-lump. Hour of day: 4:22. Brand of toothpaste: White, non-gel minty with gum protector. Musical act of the ‘70s: Sabbath. Musical act of the ‘80s: Saaaaabbaaaaathhhh. Magazine: Highlights. Book: The Easy Way to Quit Smoking. Author: Joan Didion. Sausage: Really? Fruit: The peach. Vegetable: Asparagus. Yogurt: Gives me gas. Drum head: Meagaton Powerarse with bleeding hole air vents. Guitar string: The G. Cheever novel: Falconer. Color: Mother of pearl. Bad smell: Like my favorite bad smell? Farts? Catch phrase: “I’d buy that for a dollar.” Overused Simpsons’ reference: “I didn’t kill my wife.” n

rviews, for music news, intemo re. photos &

ing with Spank Rock’s XXXChange, so we can we get a “Hell yes”? Other electro/rock releases getting us giddy this summer include Panda Bear’s Tomboy (7/13), Acrade Fire’s The Suburbs (8/3) and Menomena’s Mines (7/27). Someone get the ice wooder!

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

LECTRO & ROCK: This is where most of E the summer’s heavy hitters are dropping bombs, starting with controversy-monger M.I.A., who’ll be giving us an unpronouncable, but highly anticipated record on July 13. The un-typable typographic representation of Maya’s name has made waves with the redhead killing mini-film for “Born Free.” However, “XXXO,” the first official single off the album, is a Diplo track that gives us a taste for what we’ve come to know and love from the Sri Lankan mess. Controversy aside, Kele Okereke, the Diplo former frontman for Bloc Party, has taken his newly out-of-the-closet status and run with it on a much dancier, club-friendly electro record called The Boxer (even the title’s kinda gay!), out next week (6/21). The Boxer’s first single, “Tenderoni,” is promising to say the least. Plus he’s work-

T I M S OT E R

OP: While P Robyn’s Body Talk Pt. 1 has already (technically) hit the shelves, there’s just too much excitement around her little EP cycle to not mention it. Parts 2 and 3 will be released at the end of summer and in the fall, but in Kylie Minogue the meantime we have the singles “Fembot,” “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What To Do” and the Diplo-produced “Dancehall Queen” to settle into this summer. They’re simple, catchy and make you want to dance like a damn fool. Kylie Minogue, the Queen of the Gays, gives us a much-anticipated, full-length Aphrodite, on July 5, and has released the single “All The Lovers” to get us salivating in the meantime. The video’s

pretty druel-inducing, too. Finally, with the ridonculous video to “Acapella,” Kelis has caused a bit of a stir and excitement surrounding her new album Flesh Tone, also out on July 6. Until then, we advise using Adam Lambert’s “Whataya Want From Me” to scratch that pop itch until those three divas give it to us good.

Summer Guide

Where the Wild Things Are

From A.C. to Cape May, the best beloved ﬁsh shacks, no-frills grilles, ethnic gems and salty dives. By Adam Erace aerace@philadelphiaweekly.com Did you know? People actually live down the Shore. Like, all year round and stuff. We admit, we’ve had our differences with these folks (beach tags, ability to parallel park), but the symbiosis of shoobee and local is critical to the balance of not just the summer, but the universe. So get those olive branches ready, rabid Expressway hounds! This summer, like it or not, we’re all going to get along, just like in Remember the Titans. (And don’t tell them we said this, but the native haunts are way chiller than the weekender magnets.) Though they will probably hate us for it, we’ve put together a guide as to where you can interact with indigenous species along the South Jersey coast. Before you know it, a hunky lifeguard or blue-haired bubbe will be by your Shore Memorial bedside, all misty-eyed for the broken ﬁbula his or her car just gave you.

A. Brigantine Cargo shorts, cover-ups and Journey’s greatest hits deﬁne the freestanding enclosed Deck at Laguna Grill, a few sandy steps off Brigantine’s 14th and 15th Street beaches. Buy some Jersey lass an Oreo Crush martini (one on a list of 25 cringers), tip back a few local oysters on the half and hope for the best.

For more on Philly's food scene, visit blogalicious-adam. blogspot.com.

F. Somers Point The locals’ scene is the only scene in the ﬁshing town of Somers Point. Because it sits at the edge of the mainland, betwixt bay and marsh, it’s mostly shoobee-free with a yearround population that crowds the Anchorage Tavern summer, spring, winter and fall. When a 2006 electrical ﬁre nearly razed the 19th-century landmark, the town rallied around the proprietors, and the Anchorage reopened within six months. Five summers later, the dreamy Dungeness crab dip is as good as ever.

C. Ventnor All year round, sushi mavens repair to the bar at Yama on dry Ventnor’s stretch of smart BYOBs. Veer off the printed menu to the special sashimi and nigiri—look for them on a markerboard obscured by a potted fern— that might include kanpachi, madai and live scallops so fresh they’re still wiggling. Then, excavate a twisted hamachi kama (a spiced and broiled amberjack collar) for moist, ﬂavorful deposits akin to dark-meat chicken.

D. Margate Blue Moon is about as micro as the brews get at Robert’s Place, and the whiskered sailors, one-time lifeguards and retired ﬁreﬁghters who line the long bar probably think it’s for pussies, anyway. This narrow, lightless saloon puts on few airs—it’s a surprise that they use real silverware—and serves food to match. Think crazy-hot wings dumped on cafeteria trays, clams casino pizza and mussels, red or white, served with tons of Atlantic City bread for dunking. One pennywise Yelper likes the steak: “Better than a rip off at Bobby Flay any day.”

A. B. C. D. F. E. G. H. I.

G. Sea Isle This summer will be the last for venerable ﬁsh house Busch’s, a Sea Isle institution for the last 128 years. Join locals and weekenders alike and bid goodbye to their estimable she-crab soup.

H. Avalon Sticky buns from Kohler’s are de riguer at any proper Avalon breakfast. These yeasty wonders are the same as the ones baked in 1949, when this red-awninged bakery ﬁrst opened: cinnamon, raisins, brown sugar, nuts or no nuts. Get there at 8 a.m. on June 26, when Kohler’s opens for the season, to mingle with early-rising residents and claim a dozen.

R O BY N J O H N

J. Wildwood When it opened a quarter-century ago, the tiny clapboard cottage of Rick’s Seafood was probably as red as the hard-shells it steams, but its salt-sprayed Anglesea perch on the handle of the riﬂe-shaped Wildwoods has weathered the exterior a soft maroon. It’s a picturesque scene, but inside it’s controlled chaos as Cape May County residents queue for the day’s catch: live crabs, lobsters, shrimp, ﬂuke and more, plus fried-or-broiled platters and combos for those wise enough to call an hour ahead.

June 16-22, 2010

E. Ocean City Just a block or so off Ocean City’s thronged Boardwalk, jewel-box creperie Ma France ticks to a slower pace. The juices are fresh-pressed, the caramel swirled through the café liégeois is house-made and the paintings and photography on the gold walls are by artists who live on the island. The wispy crepes lure a Francophile crowd, the buckwheat galettes enveloping soft-shell crabs are a holy union of Jersey and Brittany.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

I. Stone Harbor The White Heron Grill, the restaurant formerly known as Chip Roman’s Blackﬁsh, is a magnet for Seven Mile Island’s second-home owners, but the adjacent Bistro Bar buzzes with a friendly local crowd of lifeguards, boat captains and politicos. Last summer, the cheery mayor bumbled over for an introduction as we dug into tempura-battered ﬁsh and chips. “Welcome to Stone Harbor!” she bellowed graciously, one eye on our Dark & Stormy. K. Cape May When the building housing the popular Pelican Club went condo in 2005, its owners found refuge on a tiny key in Cape May Harbor and opened Lucky Bones Backwater Grille. Locals followed for brickoven pizza, U-peels and a wine list where every bottle is $20.

B. Atlantic City Follow A.C.’s syndicate of Vietnamese blackjack dealers coming off the graveyard shift over to Little Saigon, located in the city’s historic Chelsea district, where they drain bottomless bowls of bloody pho as effectively as they drained your wallet last night. In the evenings, Polo sweaters of the pastel, slung-around-the-shoulder variety outnumber casino uniforms, but this modest room decorated with Christmas garlands, family photos and 18 years’ worth of awards feels no less authentic or under-the-radar. Make like Jewish attorneys and night-off restaurateurs and ask for the spicy soft-shell crabs, an off-the-menu, cilantro-laden special.

SIX PACK

Six Filmmakers Who Are Reliably Same-y By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com It’s often said Alfred Hitchcock made the same couple movies over and over and over, with slight variations. (Which isn’t entirely true: there’s the odd comedy or drama here and there, plus outright experiments like Rope or The Birds.) Does that lack of adventure make him a lesser filmmaker? Or is doing one thing better than anyone else enough? The Dardenne Brothers: Former documentarians Belgian brothers JeanPierre and Luc Dardennes have made the same general movie since 1996’s La Promesse: a stark, realist, morallysearching portrayal of the working class. Rosetta, The Son, L’Enfant and Lorna’s Silence—all peerlessly observed examinations of the working class, almost boring in their brilliance. Not that we’re complaining. Michael Haneke: The Austrian fireband is the definition of a love-him-or-hatehim artist: If you love him, you might not love all his films, but you at least appreciate them; if you hate him, you hate and find pestering and schoolmarmish all of his chilly explorations of humanity’s evils and paradoxes. It would be a stretch to adore Cache but find nothing of worth in his most hated work, Funny Games. Tyler Perry: So alike are this absurdly prolific media hound’s films, they even gross roughly the same amount, some almost to the dollar. Nice gig.

sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

With everything turning up ’80s at the box office these days, please, nobody tell Kim Cattrall that the idea for a pervy remake of Mannequin has already been swiped by the Japanese. Hirokauzu Kore-eda, that most sensitive of auteurs—he gave us the modern classic After Life and last year’s Still Walking— goes a bit loony with Air Doll, the tragically pokey tale of an inflatable sex doll who magically comes to life in a sad and beautiful world. “I found myself with a heart I was not supposed to have” is all we get by way of explanation, in gaseous voiceover from Nozomi, played by Linda Linda Linda’s deadpan heartthrob Doona Bae. You might remember this marvelous young actress as the goofball archery-expert sister from Bong Joon-ho’s The Host, and to whatever extent Air Doll actually works, it’s thanks to her googly-eyed stare and cheerful willingness to walk around topless for more than two hours. (Here’s where I’m contractually required to refer to her performance as “brave,” because that’s trusty film-critic shorthand for “naked a lot.” If you don’t believe me, cross-reference Kate Winslet’s reviews.) Still boasting thick vinyl seams on her arms and legs and a plastic valve in her navel, Doona’s Nozomi wanders the bustling streets of the city meeting lonely people, mimicking their movements and erupting into slapstick bursts of empathy. Every night she creeps her way back home to get uncomfortably humped by her sad-sack

owner (Itsuji Itao), who is usually more intent on dressing Nozomi up in fancy outfits and boring her with long stories about his workday than anything seriously deviant. Eventually, Nozomi learns to speak and finds a job at a video store. Really. Irony being in short supply these days, Air Doll has a long speech by the shop’s owner, lecturing Nozomi about how DVDs are just a meager substitute for Stay Happy: The titular sex doll at her video-store job. secret identity is revealed to her co-workthe real big-screen er (single-named stud Arata) because she experience. She, of course takes this strays too close to a thumbtack. Our herourgently to heart, droning on about ine’s rapid deflation requires a desperate how she herself is just a substitute for rescue operation, which Kore-eda shoots the genuine physical experience. The like a cunnilingus scene and suggests just unintended punch line here is that Air Doll is being exhibited theatrically via how many kinky, Cronenberg-ian direccheap lo-def DVD projection with sorrier tions this picture might have ventured. picture quality than the big-screen TV Instead, we’re stuck with a fetish toy’s Wings of Desire , as Nozomi sullenly wherever it was you watched the game observes the sadness of regular folks who last night. I’m sorry, but was somebody binge-eat, drink too much and sit alone talking about meager substitutes? on park benches feeling sorry for themAs bonkers as it is, Air Doll has some lyrical moments. Kore-eda is simply too selves. The movie can’t seem to make up fine a filmmaker not to capture some its mind about the specifics of its fantasy stray glimpses of beauty, even in such an world, tossing out references to Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid and Splash undisciplined mess of a movie. My favorwithout settling on a coherent theme ite is an early scene in which Nozomi’s other than “most people are depressed and lonely.” In a scene borrowed from A.I., Nozomi happens upon the factory of her “birth,” confronting a designer who—all things considered—takes her newfound status as a sentient being in remarkable stride. “Tell me that everything you saw wasn’t sad,” the godlike fuck-toy creator asks her. Indeed, Nozomi does finally open her heart to find a real love in this cruel, unforgiving world. What occurs next is so sickly hilarious, it ranks up there with certain head-scratching scenes of the recent Splice, insofar as you’ll wonder if the filmmaker is being serious or just having some sort of perverted nervous breakdown. I can’t wait for the sequel, in which a vibrator goes to college. n

•

For anybody who worried that Amelie wasn’t overstylized and cutesy-poo enough, director JeanPierre Jeunet finally disappears completely up his own twee-hole with a limp farce about the weapons industry, of all things. The resolutely uncharming Dany Boon stars as a meek video-store clerk caught by a stray bullet in the forehead. Lurching about with a cap in his cranium, the hapless fellow stumbles upon an underground crew of metallurgically gifted circus performers—each with exactly one exaggerated character trait—who, for no discernable reason, agree to help him pit rival Parisian arms dealers against one another. What follows is one elaborate Rube Goldberg contraption after another, with bizarre Mission: Impossible break-in scenarios, like a Mad Magazine “Spy Vs. Spy” cartoon with all the energy and excitement sapped out. Precious does not begin to describe these proceedings. Max Steiner’s old movie music cues are repurposed for diminishing returns, contortionists disappear into refrigerators, a black guy only speaks in stock movie clichés, and Jeunet’s go-to dwarf Dominique Pinion launches himself from a cannon. Never for one moment does anything feel remotely at stake, and the outcome is never less than jauntily certain. Despite Jeunet’s ridiculously elaborate, crazy-pants staging of the action sequences (with no small assist from Tetsuo Nagata’s gorgeous cinematography) all these rigorously designed set-pieces come off as more annoying than thrilling. In a weird way, Micmacs is a neat Francophile companion piece to last week’s big-screen blow-up of The A-Team. While more competently staged (at least you can tell what’s going on) Jeunet’s film is just as tedious for the same reasons. Both films are foregone conclusions with no sense of danger in which the main characters spend the majority of the running time congratulating one another for being awesome. Of course, in the American film everyone swaggers like loutish frat boys, while here they’re all too busy being ever so fucking adorable. I was bored to tears by both. n

classic. Spectacular.”

June 16-22, 2010

The trend in American independent cinema these days is toward naturalism. So-called “mumblecore” highlights not sparkling, witty, written quips, but conversational inelegance: fumbling, stammering, aggressively unquotable, how people really speak. Allegedly, anyway. So, it’s something of a relief to listen to the chatter in Winter’s Bone, in which the characters all converse in the same clipped, deliberately written patois. “I already said shut up once with my mouth,” someone threatens early on. That line isn’t Mamet, exactly, but it’s emblematic of the succinct, tough, Cormac McCarthy-derived way its characters talk. No one in the film likes to waste words, or even sounds. No one “um”s and “er”s. The plot’s even a corker: Absurdly hardened Ozarks teen Ree (Jennifer Lawrence) has to locate her crank-cooking dad, who before skipping out on a court date put their ramshackle house on bond. With a week to save her ill mom and two younger siblings from homelessness, she tries to infiltrate the area’s meth netherworld—a task that, as one character puts it, is “a real good way to get by hogs.” Fucked-up sentences like that are one reason Winter’s Bone stands out from other Sundance-féted looks at abject poverty in Middle of Nowhere, America (see also: Frozen River). A hyper-realistic portrait of this world would be mere misery porn, but writer-director Debra Granik makes it even worse, treating it less like regional documentation than hard-boiled pulp. The film is a series of verbal showdowns, sometimes aided by scalding coffee and chainsaws. Everyone is vicious, if not blood-curdlingly scary. Even Ree’s uncle (John Hawkes) isn’t above lunging at his niece with a chokehold. The bleakness of the terrain combined with the desperation to afford even hay for the horses has turned the locals into characters in a Jim Thompson paperback. It’s a shame to see this tenacious piece of work go even a little soft at the end, with its newborn-chickssignifying-rebirth-and-hope symbolism. But after presenting a world of of junked cars and unforgiving skies, where people say things like,

“He loved you—that’s where he went weak,” it’s earned the right to a mild happy ending.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

For those who know Rivers solely as a surgically enhanced grotesquerie of shrill red-carpet commentary, the doc Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work definitely is mind-expanding. You learn she is a passably interesting creature. Once Johnny Carson’s night-off replacement, she now hyper-swears, borderline uncomfortably, through angry, bitter, pissy gigs at lodges, Midwestern casinos and on Vegas stages. She’s at once anxious and vulnerable, speedtalking through edgy jokes (anal sex! Waterboarding isn’t as bad as a bikini wax!) and fighting off tears over current exhaustion or past tragedies (her husband committed suicide in 1987). Directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg make no great claim to her as a comedian; when we see her filing cabinets, filled with every joke she’s ever written, the camera dwells over one drawer co-labeled “Tony Danza.” But it makes a strong case for her as a hard worker. She shucks and jives as relentlessly as a scrabbled, penniless wannabe newcomer, but she’s also a septuagenarian pop-culture staple whose lavish apartment she herself compares to Versailles. She’s afraid to retire. In fact, she’s afraid to have a day off. At her peak—at which she finally arrives at the end of the doc’s year of coverage, thanks to winning Celebrity Apprentice—she’s doing talk shows, award shows, book singings, breakfast lectures, QVC, etc., etc. As a staffer puts it, “Joan will turn nothing down. Nothing.” Piece of Work offers valuable insight into a certain pathology: a workaholic, never-retiring, do-anything insanity that isn’t about working towards something, but simply working. But it’s still nothing new. In fact, this kind of doc is becoming disturbingly commonplace. Take a washed-up celebrity. Follow them around on a “warts-and-all” exposé. Show their flaws. Show their unflattering cock-ups. (Ha ha! Joan Rivers spells it “vigina!”) But also love them. Give them a shoulder to cry on. Humanize them. But interesting as Piece of Work is, it’s more than a little too close to PR work, an infomercial shilling a not-untouchable-after-all celebrity

Summer Guide

Out of Sight (1998): A bit of a cheat, as half the film takes place in scalding, color-coded Florida, but dig the fakey, fistsized potato-flakes falling from the sky when George Clooney finally hooks up with J. Lo in Detroit. It’s a love scene set inside of a toy snow-globe, and ironically I don’t think I’ve seen a hotter moment in any movie since.

Batman Returns (1992): To capture the inverse cheer of the most dyspeptic Christmas movie until Bad Santa came along, director Tim Burton famously forced his cast to work on soundstages dialed down to meat-locker temperatures so the camera could capture their breath. Nowadays such stuff could be done via computer, but would everybody look so convincingly miserable? McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971): Robert Altman was always finding new ways to muffle sound, and never more so than the poetic climax of his brilliant anti-Western, cradling Warren Beatty’s ill-fated would-be pimp in a doomsday blanket that all but absorbs the final sequence into fluffy pillows of whiteness. The eerie optical effects give

10 Movies That Make You Feel the Heat Do the Right Thing (1989): Spike Lee famously set his breakthrough on the hottest day of the year, all the better to compliment its Bed-Stuy neighborhood’s exploding racial tensions. But the day also affords him (and particularly cinematographer Ernest Dickerson) the chance to really depict the effects of heat. The colors—especially the reds— are loud, certain shots have that wavy heat-effect and the already loose proceedings stop dead halfway through so Lee’s Mookie can rub ice all over girlfriend Rosie Perez’s naked body. (“Thank God for the right nipple. Thank God for the left nipple,” etc.)

• 48

Rear Window (1954): New York during the summer is no fun, as the characters of The Seven Year Itch and Dog Day Afternoon know too well. But none had it as bad as James Stewart. Not only is his injured photographer stuck in a wheelchair in his Manhattan apartment, he’s stuck in a wheelchair during a sweltering Manhattan heat wave. Chained to his open back window, he quickly turns voyeur, staring at the couple who put their mattress on the fire escape to sleep outside, as well as the neighbor who possibly, probably, (spoiler) definitely killed his wife.

the snowfall the same plastered-on, extradimensional look as the animation of A Charlie Brown Christmas, but with a decidedly different effect. Wonder Boys (2000): Director Curtis Hanson flouted every accepted rule of comedy lighting by staging his wacky stoner romp in a shadowy Pittsburgh winter, granting even the most absurd sequences an air of bleak, snow-drifted melancholy. Perhaps the all-time saddest morning-after-a-party image arrives as a closeup on a lonely piece of uneaten pizza, abandoned on a porch railing, pelted by freezing rain. The Empire Strikes Back (1980): “Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.” Well, then I’ll see you in hell. n

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

12 Angry Men (1957): Making a play (or in this case a teleplayturned-play) cinematic is a tricky undertaking, particularly if you’re a television director making his first film. But Sidney Lumet had a great idea: As his dozen jurors duke it out, their anger is exacerbated by the heat wave and its resulting flopsweat. The Silence (1963): Set in an unidentified Central Europe hotel, the atmosphere in this Ingmar Bergman bugfuck becomes literally and figuratively hothouse. The heat drives one sickly character to further illness. Meanwhile, her sister—like the libidinous hotties of sweltering movies like Duel in the Sun and Body Heat—is driven to crazy, sweaty sex. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957): It’s hot enough in the Japanese-run prison camp, located in the jungles of Thailand, without one major character actually being locked in a “hot box.” Jesus. Stray Dog (1949): Before they were doing samurai films and thinly-veiled Shakespeare adaptations, Akira Kurosawa and stars Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura whipped out this crackerjack film noir, with two detectives hunting a gun-stealing

murderer during an emphatic heat wave.

Barton Fink (1991): The decaying, underpopulated Hotel Earle becomes an uncanny reflection of the crumbling mental state of its playwright-turned-Hollywoodscreenwriter antihero—a fetid cesspool overrun by flies, ineffectual fans and wallpaper that peels at inopportune moments.

Punishment Park (1971): Gus Van Sant’s Gerry watched its protagonists reduced to subhumans while lost in the desert (a combination of Death Valley and the Utah Salt Flats). Almost as bad is the castigation depicted in Peter Watkins’ brutal mockumentary. Convicted by a cartoonevil conservative jury, a group of counterculture activists are forced to drag themselves across 60 miles of California desert, pursued by—and later made target practice for—the National Guard. An Inconvenient Truth (2006): We’re all gonna die! Wheeeeeee! The Wackness (2008): Ignore the “some bitch once broke my heart” whinging and soak in the hazy, pot-aided feel of New York City in 1994, when all the hip-hop that sounds extraamazing during high heat was just coming out. n

’m a woman in my 20s, and I’ve been dating the love of my life for two years now. We are incredibly happy except for—guess!—we have different sex drives. When we first started dating, I initiated sex all the time and enjoyed it, but as soon as I started on birth control, my libido evaporated. After a nightmarish year of trying different methods, arguing with doctors, and hurt feelings, I decided that it wasn’t worth it, and we’ve stopped using any hormonal birth control (we’re using condoms). But months later, I still have almost no interest in sex or masturbation. We have sex once or twice a week, but it’s physically boring. I put on my game face and endure it. I enjoy pleasing him, but it does nothing for me. I want us to have a healthy sex life, because I love him and he’s worth it. Could this still be the birth control? Did I somehow flip the OFF switch? Please help, Dan. My doctors are all sexnegative and don’t see the problem, and I want to enjoy sex again. NOt HOrNy, NOt HAPPy

do it anyway and keep doing it.” And COD, like SHBG, can flip your libido’s off switch. So what do you do if COD’s the issue? “She should work with her partner,” says Herbenick. “Talk about the situation, acknowledge that sometimes she doesn’t want sex, or that type of sex.” Herbenick believes a temporary “ban on intercourse”—or taking “vaginal off the menu,” as I’ve recommended in similar circumstances—“can help couples learn to touch each other again with pleasure.” I think you should take the advice of both of our guest experts: Initiate a ban on intercourse for now, NHNH, because you’re not doing you, your libido, or your boyfriend any favors when you put on that game face and go through the motions, and go get your hormone levels checked.

have a dilemma. even though I was born in 1972, people always assume that I’m in my mid-20s. I tend to attract girls in their early 20s. When I tell them the truth, it’s a complete turnoff. Just last night I had to endure—that’s endure, not ensure—my third brush-off at the hands of a hot 21-year-old girl in a row! so what’s an apparent senior citizen like myself to do? Do I just wait hopelessly for the dreaded question to come up? Do I blurt out “I’m old” as soon as a woman walks up to me? Do I take measures to try to look my age? you’re probably wondering why I don’t just go for women closer to my own age. Here’s why: Women my own age tell me that they’re looking for serious relationships and I look way too young for that and they worry that my looks mean I’m a total player! yOu’re ONLy usINg NuMBers, gIrLs

First, YOUNG, maybe your problem is the lousy puns. Endure/Ensure? That would earn you a brush-off from me. But if older women aren’t interested because you look too young, and younger women aren’t interested because you are too old—if you’re actually being discriminated against based on your age/looks—then you have a license to lie to women, young and old. Let younger women think you’re in your 20s until they get to know you better. Then disclose and apologize for the deceit without being too abject about it. You had cause. As for women closer to your own age, well, instead of telling them you’re very nearly 40, YOUNG, let ’em think you’re a twentysomething with a thing for older women. Then if a puma—or panther or cougar or otter or whatever—decides to dump you because she’s getting too attached and the (presumed) age difference is simply too great, bust out your birth certificate, apologize and propose.

Your problem doesn’t sound like a case of differing sex drives, NHNH, but like a healthy sex drive that’s been derailed. “Birth control pills can decrease sexual desire if they substantially lower testosterone levels,” says Cindy M. Meston, PhD, professor of clinical psychology at University of Texas at Austin and author of Why Women Have Sex. “The pill supplies a steady dose of hormones, so that the body stops producing its own unsteady, cyclical dose.” The pill keeps your estrogen level high in order to prevent ovulation, while also “increasing the sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which binds to testosterone, thus blocking it from being ‘read’ by the body.” Testosterone plays a huge role in female libido, and blocking testosterone doesn’t do your libido any favors. And while most women who experience a severe drop in libido on the pill bounce back a few months after they stop taking it, some women aren’t so lucky. “One well-regarded researcher, Irwin Goldstein, found that after stopping the pill, SHBG remained high in some women and testosterone levels didn’t go back up,” says Meston. “It’s not common, but it could explain this woman’s situation. The best thing for her would be to go to a gynecologist, urologist or endocrinologist who specializes in sexual medicine (make sure they actually know what the hell they’re measuring) and have all her reproductive hormones measured. If she’s low in testosterone, she can take testosterone supplements.” That means you’ll have to fire your current sex-negative doctors, NHNH, and find yourself some new, sex-positive ones—and you’ll have to stick with them. “She needs a good doctor to monitor her closely, as too much testosterone causes bad side effects in women—side effects like facial hair growth.” I also shared your email with Debby Herbenick, PhD, sexual-health educator at the Kinsey Institute and author of Because It Feels Good, and she feels there’s a chance your problem isn’t hormonal. “In working with people, what I more often have found—and wrote about in my book—is something I call a ‘cycle of dread.’ I know that sounds ‘magazine-y’ but it’s the best way I can think of to describe it, and this woman seems to epitomize it.” A cycle of dread—let’s call it COD—can kick in when someone keeps having sex she doesn’t want to have, or isn’t enjoying, because she feels she must. “Sometimes, it works out all right—once they start going, it feels better. But quite often, they don’t want it, they do it anyway, it sucks (‘physically boring,’ ‘I put on my game face’), and they

“The Condo Shop has redefined client service beyond the status quo, through the philosophy that good client service is as individual as the clients themselves” The Condo Shop, was established to capitalize on the rapidly growing and highly versatile marketplace for In-House Sales and Marketing of Pre-Construction Condominiums. The current condo market has been fueled by a period of historically low interest rates, coupled with an aging population of baby boomers, who are migrating to a variety of regions for reasons that vary from safety, tax advantages and superior climates. Additionally, international buyers view condos as a good investment and as a hedge against currency and political risks. Lastly, condo supply and demand is driven by the desire of investors to own real estate as an asset class in diversified investment portfolios. Whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced real estate investor, take advantage of the strength, power and expertise of “One-Stop Shopping” with The Condo Shop LLC. As leaders in marketing condominiums, we have after many years opened our doors to the general public, as demand for condos has surpassed all levels on an international scale. Your Condo Shop representative has at his or her disposal: a vast marketing support, technological tools and programs, real estate/property management services, training and legal counsel to help service you.
