User Unfriendly Regarding Randy LoBasso’s recent news feature on the opposition of opening a methadone clinic: I live near a methadone clinic and worked in a building in Center City that housed a methadone clinic and I understand what this community is afraid of. I went up to the Mann Music Center to pay tickets for a concert and people from Parkside Methadone Clinic got on the 40 bus. They were loud and foul mouthed. They need to pick a location that is accessible to public transportation and the individuals receiving treatment most be respectful.

STEVE, via philadelphiaweekly.com

I’ve been on methadone for a few years now and I must say it saved my life. I know quite a few people that are on methadone and live a healthy productive life. It’s a shame that all people on methadone are bunched together as bad.

I live in the NE and travel everyday to West Philly where I get treated for my addiction. There is a daycare and a school within a block of the program. Why is it OK that people from NE can travel to other neighborhoods to get drugs but how dare we try and get help in our own community. Where I live, I see hookers and needles on the ground, not to mention you can get any drug you want up here. I do understand the community’s concern but c’mon people the NE isn’t this community that most people think. I would love to take a poll and see just how many are on drugs. Give people a chance.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Union Trust Regarding Tara Murtha’s column about the continuing saga with the unions at MilkBoy: It’s easy to sympathize with MilkBoy as they are seemingly the underdog. However, isn’t a carpenter, isn’t a plasterer, isn’t a tradesman/craftsman also an underdog? He is a working man trying to earn a living. I think that if you work or are employed by anyone you should remember: Without unions (not goon squads as you immediately depict them in your article) there would be child labor. Without unions there would be a 60-hour work week. Without unions there wouldn’t be safety rules. Without unions you’d be fighting as an individual against the real heavy in the employment game—the boss.

As a member presently of AEA, AFTRA, SAG, and as a former member of ACMPE and Retail Clerks Unions, I have seen the abuse bosses can impose on workers. Was it wrong for people to attempt to get their children proper housing, food for their table and to share in the wealth that corporations are reaping at the expense of the American public?

Could it be that Milkboy never consulted the Union but just started to build without a thought to the fact there was a union? If they had employed union workers, they might have put their 15 percent loss into hiring people who’d come to their store rather than picket it.

Judgment Day The Philadelphia Community Court will shut its doors for good after just nine years.

By Angelo Fichera feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Matthew Petrillo It’s 8:15—45 minutes before the second night of the city’s under-18 curfew—and hundreds of officers are on deck throughout the city. On the northwest sidewalk at 15th Street and JFK Boulevard, Capt. Brian Korn of the 6th District is giving a pep talk to his team of about 30 officers.

“I need to know where you are at all times,” he says as a German TV news crew covering the flash-mob crackdown shoves a camera and microphone in his face.

“People who would engage in this behavior … just don’t do it,” Korn says, emphasizing his last couple words. “Don’t come to Center City and misbehave. We’re not gonna stand for it.” He is used to cameras and tells a reporter to film his left side, not his right.

None of this—the extra cops on foot, bicycles and horses, and two police vans waiting for curfew violators—was the case in June, July or even last summer when similar attacks happened. Two years ago, flash mobs seemed more like a bad storm people were hoping would pass by than a “deeper issue” of social inequality. At the time, they were drowned out by the city’s severe fiscal problems. Nutter was closing recreational centers and firehouses. He even tried shutting down libraries and pools. To him, kids were just people who used up city resources.

Well, kids are still doing the same shit.

The only difference is that they’re doing it during campaign season, and Nutter’s not about to let a bunch of socially inept teens ruin his re-election. Now Nutter’s got balls, or so everyone says. He whipped out the race card—telling black youth they were embarrassing their race—and then imposed a teen curfew. All to the praise of the media and Center City dwellers.

So, yeah, Nutter’s got re-election on his mind. He’s miraculously found a way to keep rec centers open longer. He’s also encouraging businesses to help him help our youth. It’s like Councilman Nutter is back, but this time he’s campaigning against the guy who wouldn’t put his foot down on several issues (read: union contracts, the BRT). And there is no limit to the price tag on safety this close to November.

the hearings and misdemeanors—most of which, Neifield says, resulted in restorative sanctions like community service. (The court logged more than 500,000 hours of community service between 2002 and 2010, according to Paul Levy, president and CEO of the Center City District).

Although it was originally established to cover the 6th and 9th police districts, the court eventually grew to serve eight police districts—about 30 times larger than the Center City boundaries—Levy writes in an email to PW. “While we strongly believe in and support the mission of the Court, we indicated that we had more than helped establish both the proof of concept and the fact that in fines, penalties and community sentences, the City/FJD was more than recouping the costs of operating the Court,” Levy writes.

In a memo the CCD sent to the D.A.’s Office and other city officials, Levy cites “efforts under way from within the criminal justice system to create several new communitybased courts” in handing off “full financial responsibility to the City and to the First Judicial District.”

Still, some are concerned with what the closure means for the community.

“I think the loss of the Community Court will have a negative impact with the folks

Nutter’s tough (brotha-ly) love sure comes at a convenient time.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY Augst 17 - 23, 2011

It’s a slow Monday morning at the Philadelphia Community Court, where casually clothed citizens accused of summary and misdemeanor offenses fill the seats and benches. It’s clear they’d prefer to not be there—as evidenced by the head nods and conversations amongst themselves. A boy wearing a polo, who looks about 14 or 15, is accompanied by his mother. She can’t have him “keep up with this bullshit,” she tells him. When Judge Felice Stack finally walks in, at almost 10:30, there are about 40 people waiting.

It’s business as usual in here, but not for long. The nearly 10-year-old Community Court at 1401 Arch Street—created to handle “quality of life” crimes such as drug possession, vandalism, prostitution and theft—will close its doors on Sept. 16.

The reason is twofold, says Philadelphia Municipal Court President Judge Marsha Neifield: a lack of funding and, well, timing.

The Center City District, which provided about one-third of the operating costs for the court, indicated it would no longer do so. And “it came around the same time our lease is expiring and the amount of rent the landlord proposed is extraordinarily higher than what we’re paying now,” Neifeld says.

The court mostly deals with summary offenses, which accounted for the majority of

Court order: The city’s “quality of life” court is shutting its doors on Sept. 16.

out there,” says 9th District Capt. Dan MacDonald, who’s been with the PPD since 1992. MacDonald says offenders from his district who previously went straight to the PCC (which provided expedited hearings) will now be issued citations on the street and, in some cases, will be brought into the district’s headquarters. Offenders will receive a date to appear at court in the Criminal Justice Center between 10 and 30 days after the incident, he says. “It was a very immediate effect [on offenders] … It’s a shame that funding was lost.”

While Neifield acknowledges that the new plan doesn’t result in immediate court action, she says she doesn’t believe the change in procedure will adversely impact the districts covered by the Community Court, and that the new programs will offer the services to the city at large, rather than to select areas. Offenders who commit nonviolent misdemeanors will have the option to proceed in the new Accelerated Misdemeanor Program (AMP), which, like many of the punishments issued at the court, entails community service and a fine. If they don’t, the case will go to trial at the Criminal Justice Center. Likewise, eligible summary offenders will be given the option of enrolling in the Summary Diversion Program (SDP), which includes an educational class; if the class is not successfully completed, or if the offender chooses not to partake in the program, the case will be scheduled for trial. Neifield says she’s optimistic that these new programs, along with the Small Amounts of Marijuana Program, “will grow and fill in the needs that are currently served by Community Court.”

But the PCC helped people in more ways than just helping them stay out of jail.

Offenders had access to social services at the court, including medical care and drug counseling.

“The whole purpose of community court was to take a holistic approach and to kind of address the needs of the individuals as they came in, with the recognition that sometimes people found themselves in court with issues that went beyond the case that was presented to the judge,” Neifield says, adding that the new programs would incorporate social services.

H. Jean Wright, criminal justice coordinator at the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services, says his department, which currently has three employees working at the court, is prepared to work with the court system in the future. He says that while there have been discussions about working with the AMP, details have not been finalized.

It’s a little before noon, and the last few offenders are clearing out. Those who choose a no-contest plea settle quickly by simply agreeing to pay a fine and perform community hours. For the teen, it’s 25 hours. The court goes into recess and the benches are empty again—a scene that will be familiar in a matter of weeks. n

At-Large and in Charge

PW kicks it with Councilman Bill Green.

By Daniel Rackley feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Councilman At-Large Bill Green may or may not be running for mayor in 2015. In the meantime, the extremely vocal pol sat down with PW to share his thoughts on a bunch of local issues, including flash mobs, the School District, the DROP program and whether he’s serious about running for mayor.

Cops’ blocks: Center City was crawling with uniforms last weekend.

Korn assigns his officers their posts for

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY Augst 17 - 23, 2011 • 10

the evening. It’s close to 8:30, and a group of about 20 officers take to their bikes and comb the city’s streets.

At 8:55, the bike cops who left roll back to the corner and sweep across Love Park.

Anticipation is slowly thickening. “Almost show time!” one cop shouts.

At 9:20, a black male skates northbound down 15th Street on the sidewalk.

“How about him?” asks once cop. Police take off from both sides, swarming Love Park. Cameras follow. They come back empty handed. The skateboarder was an adult.

By now, the German news crew has left, and the second night of the new two-week curfew shows dramatic changes over the course of just a day. Of the 70 curfew violations over the weekend, just 12 occurred between Saturday night and early Sunday morning, alone. By midnight Saturday, though, the station at the 6th District was packed with parents and kids. But tonight, police rounded up just a handful of Center City violations. Parents say their children are not like “the others,” but most appear disappointed in them.

A little after 10:30, Nutter stops by Love Park after a bowling party in Juniata Park he organized to keep kids off the streets.

Meanwhile, reports of a stabbing of a teen girl at the party start surfacing. But Nutter’s not here to talk about the status-quo crime that plagues Philadelphia. Happy and confident, he chats with some officers and touts his program. He’s all smiles. The old Nutter, the one elected in 2008 who took two years to stand up to flash mobs, would’ve loved this guy. n

Flash mobs have been the biggest story in the city for the past couple of weeks.

How would you propose trying to curb this violence?

There’s an underlying reason ... that this sort of activity goes on. If you look at the activity in London recently there’s just a huge sense of frustration and powerlessness by young people. They don’t see themselves having opportunities if they do finish high school. Not having an ability to go to college, not having a chance of living the American Dream. And as a consequence, they can probably see that frustration in their parents. The economy is bad; their parents are probably struggling to put food on the table. And when there’s stress in the home like that it boils over. The kids feel it and they can’t really react there. So they go out and react. We have to address the underlying issues that sort of lead to this kind of behavior. It’s far more effective to address that than simply throw them in jail.

The other day when Mayor Nutter gave what could basically be described as a “good stern talking” to the youth of Philadelphia, do you think that made a real lasting impact?

No. So you think it is going to come to issuing fines and jail time to them or their parents?

I’d like to think that raising the issue at that level will cause parents to talk to their children. Let’s hope that that’s what happened and it’ll stop. But I think whether it stops for a month or not, the underlying problems that cause this sort of behavior haven’t been changed by a speech. That’s where we need to focus as a city.

This may be a sensitive subject among some of your City Council colleagues. If the DROP program isn’t done away with, do you think that officials that retire to collect a DROP payment should stay retired and not return to work after retiring for one day?

The good news is that my first day in City

Council I introduced a bill to eliminate DROP for elected officials. Interestingly, the mayor did not support that measure and help me get that passed. I also talked to State Senators and State Reps about it and got the bill passed at the state level because we could not accomplish it here without the mayor’s support. We then passed a law in City Council consistent with the state law, eliminating DROP for elected officials … so that’s not going to happen in the future. DROP is an emotional issue with the public. To me it’s a question of dollars and cents. City Council passed a bill essentially eliminating all costs associated with DROP on a going forward basis; the mayor vetoed it. The cost of that veto to the citizens is $5 million a year out of the general fund. Which is $5 million we don’t have available to other stuff.

You’ve been quite vocal in other media concerning the school district’s wasteful spending.

Yeah.

How do you think [Arlene Ackerman] can justify having a base salary that is almost rival to that of the President of the United States while a system she is in charge of had to essentially come hat in hand to City Hall and City Council for money for her budget?

I don’t blame Arlene Ackerman for her salary.

She negotiated with the School Reform Commission and they gave it to her. The people who gave her that salary are the ones that should be held accountable if we feel that salary is inappropriate. I believe it’s inappropriate; it’s more than the head of the New York City school system. But that was a decision made by the SRC. And in any negotiation an individual is going to try to do the best they can for themselves. And that’s on the SRC, they never should have agreed to anything like that.

How do you think [Ackerman] can justify laying off the number of teachers that she did after the past school year; especially ones with more seniority and keeping others solely because they were employed at her “pet projects” such as the promise academies?

That decision is in court and will be resolved by the courts soon. Obviously she thought she had the authority to do that … We’ll know whether it was permissible in just a few short days. I think the broader issue with the schools is if we could step back from the

personality of Dr. Ackerman—because that’s kind of a distraction at this point. There is an SRC; they’re running the schools. Dr. Ackerman is who they hired. The question is what we need to do to the schools to change outcomes for kids so there’s not a frustration that leads to flash mobs. We wrote a 55 page education policy paper about a year and a half ago with 30 specific recommendations for the things the school district could do to try to improve. I still think there’s a lot of things in that paper they could implement today to make a difference for kids. I’m beginning to reach the conclusion that the School District is not capable of doing the job that they are mandated to do. I’m sure I know what the solution to that problem is.

If you had the singular authority would you remove Ackerman from her position?

Since I don’t have the singular authority and since I don’t answer hypothetical questions, I won’t. But if I had the singular authority, I would make a decision.

What’s the No. 1 reason why the people of Philadelphia should vote for Bill Green this November?

I’ll rephrase your question. Do we all agree on what the city’s challenges are and how to fix it? All we have done for the past three and a half years and for many years before that is make marginal and incremental changes And we can’t afford to let that happen. We have to do something radical and quickly with the schools. We have to do something very different to let businesses know we want them to stay here and come here. We have to completely change our tax structure. To me, the two most important things we can do to create and retain jobs in the City of Philadelphia have to do with schools and taxes. Then a lot of the other stuff will begin to take care of itself. We have to shrink the cost and size of government; begin to provide the same services for less money. I’ve outlined a plan to do that with respect to going paperless; saving $200 million a year and having those resources available for tax reduction and other things.

And so, to try to answer your question, I have a vision for the future of the city that I think Philadelphians share. It has great schools that provides a free quality public education to every citizen there. It has low tax rates, it has a growing population and we keep our citizens when their children turn five rather than have them move to the suburbs. And we grow over time to become two million citizens again. That’s going to take a lot of hard work. It’s not going to take speeches, but action.

In 2015 are you going to run for mayor?

The moment you declare yourself as a candidate for mayor you have to resign from City Council or any other city post. And so the answer to your question is I fully intend to explore that opportunity and I fully expect that I will run. But I have made no final determination as of yet. n

Music Issue Photographs by Jeff Fusco

We’re going to say it: This moment RIGHT NOW is the most exciting in Philadelphia’s storied music history. Truthfully. No exaggeration. Gamble and Huff be damned. There are many music-related New Things happening at this very moment that back that up. In this here Music Issue, we attempt to cover some of them. First, a new, big-time venue: Union Transfer. Next, a uncompromisingly odd, new underground venue: Bookspace. Philly’s venerable metal label Relapse Records is entering a new phase. They’re old enough to drink, turning 21 this month. Mike Cooper is opening a new record store, Borderline Records & Tapes, with the personal collection he’s amassed over the last three decades. The War On Drugs have a new album out, Slave Ambient, and it’s their best yet. No easy feat. Finally, PW ’s Concerts in the Park have found a new home at the Piazza. Concerts at the Piazza kicks off this week with a reggae night, and continues next week with a sweet, sweet lineup of Nico’s Gun, Cheers Elephant and Hezekiah Jones, who used an old movie for new inspiration on their latest album. So there you new.

Three of Philadelphia’s longtime nightlife entrepreneurs team up with some out-of-town players to bring the city a new music venue.

• 12

This time last year, the venerable old building at 10th and Spring Garden streets was a Spaghetti Warehouse, cramming ’em in daily with sickeningly huge plates of cheap pasta. The restaurant is history, but starting next month, three of Philadelphia’s longtime entertainment and nightlife entrepreneurs—with the help of some major out-of-town players—hope to keep the place packed with much tastier fare of the musical variety.

The building’s being transformed into Union Transfer, an all-ages, indie-rock-centric concert venue designed to fill a niche between such smaller rooms as Johnny Brenda’s and Kung Fu Necktie and larger joints like the Electric Factory and the Tower Theater; going for that sweet spot where intimacy and amenities collide. It opens Sept. 21 with the reunited Clap Your Hands Say Yeah; the fall also brings Odd Future, Wild Flag, Mogwai, Gillian Welch, St. Vincent, Boris and Kurt Vile, among others, to the venue.

UT’s co-owners? Avram Hornik and Mark Fichera of 4 Corners Management, whose stable of Philly bars includes Drinker’s Pub, Lucy’s and Noche; R5 Productions honcho Sean Agnew, who’s been promoting shows around town since the mid ’90s; and Bowery Presents—the N.Y.C.-based promotions company that operates such esteemed clubs to our north as Bowery Ballroom, Music Hall of Williamsburg and Mercury Lounge.

“It’s been a dream team of people working together—people who have a great understanding of the market, what people want, what the bands want, and what a great live music venue should be,” says Hornik, who’ll oversee UT’s day-to-day operations.

It’s an early morning last week, and Hornik’s walking around the still-unfinished space as construction workers prepare to remove three central support columns that reach to the cathedral-like rafters some 60 feet above. In its distant past, the aesthetically impressive building was a railway baggage depot, and Union Transfer is keeping much of that vintage interior intact—the warm wood walls, teardrop chandeliers and

Many who enter Fishtown’s oddest venue become instantly overwhelmed by its grandeur.

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

“Most foreign visitors in the late-nineteenth century, as well as this writer in the twentieth, found Philadelphia to be an unexpected city.”

-John Lukacs, Philadelphia: Patricians & Philistines, 1900-1950

•

So begins one of the roughly 100,000 books stacked on shelves, scattered across tables, piled on the floor, resting on the hood of a Volvo or peeking out of countless boxes at Bookspace, the Fishtown bookstore run

by Mike DiProspero and Ben Orlock.

They initially rented the old 19th-century elevator factory—which sits on Frankford Street one block south of Johnny Brenda’s—to house inventory for their online bookstore, but around 2008 they opened it to the public.

“It’s unlike any other place in Philadelphia,” Orlock says on a recent Saturday evening after helping a customer find a dictionary. “It has a unique vibe and it’s impossible to not be awed by the space.”

“Awe” is an apt descriptor; it’s the look on the faces of many people who wander in. They’re instantly overwhelmed by its grandeur—the high vaulted ceilings, skylit windows, long stretches of seemingly never-ending bookshelves, colorful strands of fabric flowing from the walls, Christmas lights glowing and clinging to unusual objects—and so they’re forced to pause a few paces past the entrance to take it all in. As if encountering the sublime, they’re trying to adjust to something they’ve never quite experienced before.

Though open to walk-in customers for nearly three years now, it wasn’t until this March that Orlock and DiProspero drastically increased Bookspace’s public events, and it has quickly become one of Philly’s raddest new music venues.

There’s an open jazz session every Thursday night, which consistently brings dozens of top-notch local players. Late May saw the first monthly noise night, which featured local noisers Dick Neff, Embarker, Suicide Magnets and Nightburger. If you’re into jazz and noise, you know there aren’t many welcoming venues in the city, and that’s what Bookspace is all about: providing a home for concerts and other events that otherwise wouldn’t have one. They’re currently planning a classical music and opera night, Orlock says.

I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is “Yes, you can score a heavy dose of rock ’n’ roll at Bookspace, too.” Local rockers Pet Milk, Lantern and Arc In Round shared a bill back in May, for instance, and next Wednesday, Bookspace hosts what’s perhaps their biggest national touring band yet when critically acclaimed Nashville, Tenn.-based rock duo Jeff the Brotherhood come to rumble and rattle the shelves.

But first, there are two not-to-be-missed shows this weekend. Friday is Afro-Beat night with a 12-piece ensemble led by Rotimi Hundeyin—a former member of Fela Kuti’s son Femi’s band—and Saturday night five hip-hop artists take the stage, including local headliner Theodore Grams.

From random books to noise, hip-hop to rock, and Afro-Beat to opera, every night at Bookspace is an unpredictable adventure, and they plan on keeping it that way.

“It’s orchestrated chaos,” DiProsper says. “You’ll be enjoying live jazz and then, suddenly, an aerial acrobat drops from the ceiling and performs a choreographed trapeze routine. It makes perfect sense to us.” n

stained glass windows are being restored. They’ll sneak in a few modern touches, too, such as a large video projection of an old railroad station flipboard on the lobby wall that’ll announce upcoming shows.

“You walk in and it feels good already, so we didn’t really have to force very much onto the space,” says Hornik, who touts the 200 parking spaces behind the building and the central location in the city as further reasons why they grabbed the spot.

While the building was large enough to make UT a 2,000-capacity venue, the owners instead chose to divide the space to provide for a large lobby, a separate bar/party area, big bathrooms, a coat check, a no-fee box office, backstage dressing rooms, a huge load-in area, and a bi-level performance room that can fit anywhere from 600 to 1,000 people (the uniquely constructed stage can be moved up to 25 feet, depending on the show). On the ground floor, there’s multi-level viewing areas and a back bar; above, there’s a horseshoe-style, 21-and-over balcony with a bar and some grandstand-style seating. “Sight lines and sound come first,” says Bowery Presents General Manager Jesse Mann, who claims UT’s high-tech sound system is the best in the city. “People are going to be blown away by the clarity and resonance and separation,” he says.

In charge of booking the space, Agnew’s bringing in indie-rock, alt-country, hiphop, underground metal and more, and he looks forward to doing shows at a proper venue. “Where you basically walk in and flip on the switch and you don’t have to load a PA system down the steps or spend three hours moving daycare furniture out of the way,” he says, referring to the basement of First Unitarian Church, where Agnew and R5 have put on punk and indie shows for more than a decade. Despite the new gig, Agnew says R5 will continue doing shows at the Church (as well as the Barbary, Johnny Brenda’s and elsewhere).

“The idea is to keep bands that have some familiarity with DIY at the church, and have the bands who are kind of beyond that over at Union Transfer,” says Agnew, who adds that tickets for UT shows will essentially remain at established R5 prices (generally in the $12 to $20 range) “because now we have the auxiliary income [from liquor sales, concessions and parking] so we don’t have to live and die by ticket prices.”

And even with the still-shaky economy, Hornik says the time is right for a new music venue in Philly. “People are still demanding entertainment, that hasn’t changed,” he says. “They always want a place to go where they can hang out, be entertained for a good price, have all the comforts they want, and be treated kindly and with respect.

That’s what we’re all about. Hopefully we’re able to provide that for a long time.” n

Addicted To Drugs

By Tara Murtha tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Elliott Sharp

Raphael Cutrefello’s latest was inspired by his Bride.

You know how some albums have a hidden track? Raphael Cutrefello’s latest album, Have You Seen Our New Fort? (Yer Bird Records), the third release under the moniker Hezekiah Jones, has a hidden purpose: Each song is a mini soundtrack to parts of the 1935 cult sci-fi classic Bride of Frankenstein.

Sometimes, Cutrefello sits in front of his television, guitar in lap and remote in hand, rewatching the film for the umpteenth time, searching for just the right three-to-four minute clip to inspire his next song. “I press play and record at the same time and go, but it’s really difficult,” he says. “‘Airplane Windows,’ the opening track, starts when you see the airplane coming around the world,” he explains. “You hear the propeller coming from left to the right and then ‘Airplane Window’ starts. It’s about finding spaces and matching with songs that either make sense rhythmically or through lyrics.”

This bit of weird genius is a result of Cutrufello, a prolific but laid-back alt-folk singer, striking up a creative partnership with producer Andrew Lipke, a multi-instrumentalist and musician in his own right with a penchant for complex projects.

“When Lipke and I were first making this album, we said, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to have video for an entire album?’ So we started brainstorming.” Rejected films include Marx Brothers’ classic Duck Soup and Tom Selleck’s mustache vehicle Three Men and a Baby.

Now, the goal is to write songs to fill in the gaps of the movie not covered by tracks on the album, like “Borrowed Heart,” a single produced by local legend Brian McTear (for the Weathervane Music/WXPN Shaking Through series). “Borrowed Heart” syncs note for note with the scene when the bride is built.

The secret soundtrack isn’t the only thing that sets Fort apart from previous Hezekiah Jones albums. For one thing, the longer, smoother vocals are missing that world-weary crack reminiscent of Will Oldham. “I’m not scared of my voice anymore,” says Cutrufello.

It’s also more lush and cinematic, thanks to Lipke’s vision of elaborate instrumentation pinned down by heavy bass tracks. “Some tunes have electric bass, and then a muted electric bass played with a pick,” explains Hezekiah Jones bassist Phil D’Agostino. Other songs have upright bass, electric bass and then bass doubled on guitar.

The response to the album, both live and in the press, has been overwhelmingly positive, and Cutrufello remains very busy. Not that he’s complaining. “To be honest, I can’t really afford to leave my house,” he laughs. “If you get paid, you realize you’re doing something well. Someone says something nice, you realize the same thing. It’s nice to get one or the other. I can’t pay my rent, but it makes my mom happy.” n Concerts in the Piazza kicks off this Wed., Aug. 17, with a Reggae Night and continues next Wed., Aug. 24, with Nico’s Gun, Cheers Elephant + Hezekiah Jones. Both shows are free.

With Slave Ambient, Adam Granduciel marries road-weary Americana and sonic experimentation.

Adam Granduciel’s a rock ’n’ roll multitasker. His time’s split between his band, the War On Drugs, and Kurt Vile & the Violators, for whom he’s played guitar since the beginning. He knows the road.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in a van the past five years,” Granduciel recalls while puffing a cigarette outside Fishtown’s Lola Bean Cafe. “On the last Drugs tour, we did 16,500 miles in six weeks ... It was intense.”

This week he’s back in Philly after a five-week tour with the Violators, but not for long. The Drugs tour starts Thursday night at Johnny Brenda’s, and in the next 11 weeks they’ll hit more than 50 U.S. and European cities.

This hometown kick-off ’s also a record release party for their sophomore LP, Slave Ambient, which dropped on Tuesday.

Like the best American rock music, this road-bent and wandering spirit is expressed in Drugs’ music. Their 2009 debut, Wagonwheel Blues, summoned images of migrant workers and vagabonds, and told stories of hard travelin’ and livin’ on the run.

This rambling spirit returns on Slave Ambient, and as with Wagonwheel, many critics are throwing around the phrase “road music.” Given its propulsive rhythms and joyous highway vibes, along with Adam’s nonstop touring, it makes sense. But there’s more to Slave Ambient than restless rootlessness, The War on Drugs something Granduciel calls “the other side of Drugs.”

Jeff Zeigler, who’s worked with Kurt Vile, Pattern Is Movement, Clockcleaner and many other Philly bands, produced Slave Ambient at his studio, Uniform Recordings. One goal was to clearly articulate this “other side,” namely the hypnotic drones and loops that underlie the new songs.

“These aspects have been overlooked by people working on Adam’s songs,” Zeigler says. “They were misconceived as incidental or it was misunderstood how the drones worked in the context of traditional rock. They’re meant to take the songs into far dreamier territory, adding a surreal depth where you can really get lost.”

An avid home-recorder for more than a decade, Granduciel has amassed countless hours of soundscapes and tones. The title for one such drone he’d returned to for the past four years was “Slave Ambient,” which ultimately became the album title.

The drone runs through the middle of the album with the triple-punch combo of “Your Love Is Calling My Name,” “The Animator,” and “Come to the City.” It delicately flutters at first and then expands, sonically evolving into a robust foundation for the instrumentation. The lush soundscape’s liberated on “The Animator,” where its colorful textures meet a reverb-soaked sax, and then it reconnects with the band on “Come to the City.”

This isn’t traditional road-rock. The “other side of Drugs” is an experimental one that builds more on Krautrock bands like Neu and Tangerine Dream than Dylan or Springsteen. But it’s finding the perfect balance between these two tendencies— Americana/rock songwriting and sonic experimentation—while also expressing a unique voice that Drugs have realized on Slave Ambient.

“I love sitting at home and making beautiful soundscapes,” Granduciel says, “but I also enjoy writing songs. Finding ways to meld the two is cool, and when it works, I think it works fairly well. It’s all about admitting you’re part of a lineage but also finding ways to separate yourself that feel genuine.” n

Venerable Philly-based label Relapse Records celebrates its 21st birthday.

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY Augst 17 - 23, 2011 • 16

Founded in 1990, and based in the Philadelphia area since 2000, Relapse Records is celebrating its 21st birthday this month. Though Relapse’s presence in the city was stronger for the several years it had a storefront on South Street (2001 to 2008), it’s still here and here to stay.

Despite the endless industry reports about the decline of record sales and the grim prospects for labels, Relapse is thriving. They’ve had almost 600 releases since 2000—about 35 this year alone—and 75 percent of sales currently come from physical releases. Based in Upper Darby, Relapse has 15 staffers and three interns, along with minions in Portland, New York City, the Netherlands and Japan.

“Don’t believe the myth,” advises Rennie Jaffe, Relapse’s vice president of Business and Legal Affairs. “People in our world still want something physical. There’s always been a collector’s mentality, like in the old days when everyone amassed metal cassettes. People want to hold and be a part of this music.”

The desire to create a community is how it all started, when a 17-year-old Matt Jacobson founded Relapse in his Colorado basement by releasing a 7-inch for his friend’s band, Velcro Overdose.

“I wanted to reach as many people as possible,” says Jacobson, who recently moved to Oregon and now runs the Rennie Jaffe Portland office. “I wanted to expose people to and inspire them with the music that inspired me.”

The community’s foundation, of course, is the Relapse sound. From Death—who’re arguably the first death metal band ever—to the more melodic hard-rock of Red Fang and synth-master Zombi’s Italo-horror flick music, to Neurosis’s sludge-metal and Brutal Truth’s combative grindcore, Relapse is tenaciously diverse. But there’s definitely an underlying thread that unites the bands.

“They have to be heavy or dark,” explains Jaffe, who’s on the committee that decides which bands are signed. “They don’t need to be brutal, but many are. Metal music’s where the virtuosos are, and there are legit virtuosos in Relapse bands. Many begin as disaffected dudes just fucking playing guitars, but they eventually become masters of their instruments. We’re interested in next-level musicianship here.”

For the uninitiated, the Relapse roster might be demanding. Even if some brave soul manages to get beyond the sometimes absurd (Agoraphobic Nosebleed) and violent (Dekapitator) names, the unhinged barbarity and bleakness and the arduous technicality could frighten newcomers unwilling to be challenged.

“Relapse bands don’t provide casual listening experiences—they’re cerebral and challenging,” confirms an unapologetic Jaffe. “But they tap into genuine human emotions—rage, anger, darkness, beauty, or all those at once. This honesty resonates with people.”

Despite the negative stereotypes surrounding metal from the beginning, and the challenge the entire aesthetic poses to mainstream music, new pockets of appreciation are emerging. This year, two Relapse releases were featured as full album streams on NPR Music: Tomb’s Path Of Totality and Red Fang’s Murder The Mountains.

Relapse’s greatest breakthroughs so far have been Mastodon’s Leviathan and Dillinger Escape Plan’s Miss Machine, both of which blasted onto the Billboard 200 in 2004. They’re expecting an even grander “coup”—a word Jaffe uses frequently to describe Relapse’s few flirtations with mainstream success—next year with the third album by Baroness, a Savannah, Ga.-based sludge-metal outfit that’s already earned a sizable and diverse following.

“Baroness is the complete package,” Jaffe explains, sounding more like a fan than a VP. “They have a focused aesthetic and stellar guitarists who write hooks with metal technicality. Their first time in Philly, I couldn’t get them a show at First Unitarian Church, so they played a record store in Dowington. Next year they’re gonna be way too big for the Church.”

Times are changing quickly, and, just as they’ve been for the last two decades, Relapse Records remains at the forefront of the always-expanding metal world. And it’s all happening right here, unbeknownst to many, just at the edge of our lovely city. n

Avid record collector Mike Cooper takes over Tequila Sunrise to open Borderline Records & Tapes.

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Mike Cooper’s place is bursting at the seems. Any day now, this rowhome’s going to swell up and discharge its dusty contents onto Allegheny Avenue. He’s got a lot of records. Piles and piles of albums everywhere.

He uses Master of Reality as a cutting board, Physical Graffiti as a pillow. The catbox is contructed from about a dozen copies of Ziggy Stardust. The litter, shredded British Invasion.

Tres Hombres is a serving tray, London Calling a doormat, and Frampton Comes Alive is his mirror. Krautrock is spilling out the back door and some Grand Funk albums are bulging out the chimney. Need a place to crash for the night? Too bad, there’s about four dozen teetering towers of Hard Rock, Pub Rock, and Punk Rock in each of the guestrooms. The couch is in the living room somewhere, under a mountain of Leslie West albums. No room in the linen closet; that’s reserved for Roky Erikson, the Stooges, and about a dozen copies of On The Beach. Steppenwolf guards the medicine cabinet.

The whole situation is overwhelming and getting out of control. A man could drown in all that music. Cooper’s solution? Start selling.

He’s thinning out a collection 30 years in the making, shuttling it by the vanload to a storefront near the corner of Sixth and Girard Ave—an address occupied by another record store, Tequila Sunrise, from 2006 until just a few weeks ago. (You can still buy records from Tequila Sunrise online at tequilasunriserecords.com). Cooper took over the space August 1 and he’s calling it Borderline Records & Tapes. Think MC5, not Madonna.

The store, flanked by a now-vacant scratch and dent appliance store and an apartment building with a metal cage for each window, sits in the middle of a mildly historic block. Cooper remembers seeing Corrosion of Conformity and D.O.A. perform above a check cashing store at the end of the block. This was in the mid-’80s. C.O.C. vocalist Simon Bob Sinister ended the set balancing on the fire escape. The crowd was cheering for him to jump, and a young Mike Cooper was pacing on the sidewalk, arms extended and ready to catch him. Sinister did not jump.

Known in certain circles as The Rock ’n’ Roll Roofer, Cooper spends most mornings unrolling sheets of rubber on some roof or another. Afternoons, you might find him in any far-flung corner of the city, pedalling a tired 10-speed, in need of a shave and wearing an easy smile under a Flyers cap. Often, there’s a case of Milwaukee’s Best in his ragged backpack. It’s been this way for years and years.

A day off from work, each and every weekend during Flea Market season, finds him rifling through boxes and taking home as much music as he can carry. If somewhere a basement is being cleaned out, he’ll be there. A thrift store in an unsavory part of town? He’s there a few times a month. Yet another musician-type is selling all possessions to feed a drugaddiction?

Cooper will show up, cash in hand. He gets his kicks from amassing a collection at below market value.

His personal collection is unrivalled, and the excess stocks his store.

Borderline Records & Tapes (& Serving Trays & Doormants & Cutting Boards) is Mike Cooper now open. n

musiC Dntel’s Jimmy Tamborello

Drivin’ ‘n Cryin’

F

Dntel Jimmy Tamborello is probably best known for being the music-and-beatmaking half of beloved indietronic duo the Postal Service—he and Death Cab for Cutie warbler Ben Gibbard issued one album almost a decade ago and fans have been desperately clamoring for a followup ever since. Both have said it’s not gonna happen, mainly because they’re busy with their primary creative outlets. For Tamborello, that’s his long-running electronic project Dntel.

At various points, Dntel has explored jittery breakbeat/IDM, billowy ambient soundscapes, glitch, and warm, tender electropop. Tonight, all of that may very well lift you to such great heights. But not in that way. MichAel AlAN GolDberG 9pm, $12. With the One AM Radio + Geotic.

PW ’s Concerts at the Piazza The always-free C-in-the-P is a long-standing summer tradition around these parts. And this year there’s a new twist—the good times are moving from Rittenhouse Square to the Piazza at Schmidt’s. Tonight, the series kicks off with a handful of area and regional reggae/jam bands.

Baltimore’s Jah Works, the sextet led by vocalist Natty Roc, blends traditional rasta riddims with hip-hop and drum ’n’ bass flavor. Philly’s own mrCharlie channels the Grateful Dead through a Motown soul filter. And Atlantic City seven-piece Simple Minded Budz will cover the likes of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Matisyahu, plus sprinkle in some of their own tunes and do their best to get the crowd to go green, if you know what we mean.

Stu Bykofsky Candidates Comedy Night Love him or hate him, Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky is a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing Philly tradition that comes with his own tradition: Every year since 1981, Stu’s held court at his annual Candidates Comedy Night, a fundraiser for children’s charity Variety. Since its inception, the event—during which Philadelphia politicians actually try to be funny—has raised more than $400,000, proving Stu can raise as much money as ire among urban bicycling enthusiasts. Fresh off his much disputed “Bill Cosby” moment lecturing old black folk about reigning in their children, Mayor Michael Nutter, AKA DJ Mike, will return as headliner. Witness gems like this one from Pat Toomey last year: “Last week President Obama celebrated his birthday in Chicago. He had dinner with Oprah and Gayle King. At the end of the evening Gayle was overhead saying how incredible it was to have dinner with the most powerful person in the world. And how nice it was that President Obama joined them.” TArA MurThA

It was 101 years ago today that the 19th Amendment was ratified, putting an end to the suffrage movement and guaranteeing women the right to vote. What better way to celebrate than by honoring some badass chicks from this city’s past? On the roughly two-hour tour, you will be guided through the massive historic cemetery, visiting the graves of some of its most famous females whose accomplishments in life have been largely neglected, forgotten or marginalized throughout history. Now, six feet under, their stories will finally be unearthed.

This includes Mary Ann Lee, one of the first American ballerinas; Anna Justine Magee, whose endowment funded Magee Rehab; and Anna Lockhart Flanigen, one of UPenn’s first female students. The tour will conclude at the Cemetery Gatehouse, where everyone will get a chance to toast to the ladies behind the headstones. Nicole FiNkbiNer

International House invites viewers to bring lawn chairs and beach blankets to its free outdoor screening of this animated feature based on an album by pop tunesmith Harry Nilsson.

But given the early-’70s vibe suffusing this philosophical fable, bean bag chairs and shag carpet would be more appropriate. Mike Lookinland, best known as Bobby Brady, plays Oblio, a round-headed child born in a country of pointy-headed people. When this good-natured boy is unjustly banished from his family and community for not having a point, he and his faithful dog, Arrow, must wander through the Pointless Forest. There, encounters with odd creatures and novel situations eventually

bring wisdom. Originally broadcast in 1971 as an “ABC Movie of the Week,” this was the first animated special to be aired in prime time. Director Fred Wolf imbues the whole affair with a casual feel, favoring squiggly lines and smeary, magic-marker colors. The point, however, is Nilsson’s absurdly catchy songs, including “Me and My Arrow,” which is likely to get firmly lodged in viewers’ heads. rAYMoND

ormed in the mid-’80s, hailing from Georgia, and sorta college-rock-y at the start, Drivin’ ‘n Cryin’ was hoped to be the second coming of R.E.M. (a band they were pals with), both by music fans and record label types. Thing was, the Kevn Kinney-led quartet pushed their melodies and nasally vocals in a harder rockin’ Southern-rock direction rather than toward moody alt-rock, almost like a precursor to the Black Crowes.

So D’nC never really blew up in a major way, although they did score a gold record with 1991’s riff-happy Fly Me Courageous and nabbed opening slots for Neil Young and Soul Asylum tours.

Since the late ’90s, the band was mostly quiet while Kinney pursued a folkish solo career, but they’re back now, hoping to be appreciated for what they are, not what some people wanted them to be. M.A.G.

He’s an aggravated concretekilling jackhammer and a stylistic shapeshifter to boot, maniacally shifting from grindcore blast beats to D-Beat grooves with dismaying, panther-like velocity. Stockpile just dropped a bangin’ debut 7-inch on Destroy Me Records, and its six songs clock in at under nine minutes: short, fast, pissed and perfect. Tonight they open for two San Francisco outfits that represent the cream of the West Coast crop.

Rock ’n’ roll guardians can put down their swords tonight. No need to watch the throne.

All’s well in the kingdom with three local bands.

Ten-year-old headliner Pearls & Brass took a break in 2008 when guitarist Randy Huth joined a little band called Pissed Jeans, but the blues-metal trio reconvened last year. Shame on you if you still don’t know Purling Hiss. Take some Iggy & the Stooges, a little Buckingham/ Nicks-era Fleetwood Mac, a six pack of cheap tallboys, and serve ’em with a few microwaved burritos in the back of a black cadillac zooming down Frankford St. Metal quartet Serpent Throne sometimes quote Black Sabbath guitar phrases in their tunes. Hell, on Ride Satan Ride (2007) they have one called “Black Stabbeth.”

Will Kaufman Most local folkies will spend their weekend at the Philly Folk Fest. But the real American rebels—or those for whom Schwenksville is a ramble too far—will take some time for Will Kaufman’s traveling roadshow, a “live music documentary” featuring the stories and songs of Woody Guthrie. Kaufman’s new book, Woody Guthrie, American Radical, presents a uniquely nuanced picture of the folk pioneer as a deeply complicated figure—someone who dedicated his life and music to the sweat and toil of workers, even when it meant that tearing down the existing hierarchy could lead to serious danger and violence. In other words, this guy was no simple peacenik: If Stalin, for example, had a better answer, then by gum, that was where he’d look. Kaufman weaves a tale considerably more challenging than the one you’ll get just sitting on the farm listening to Woody’s son Arlo. JEFFrEY barg 3pm. Free.

Spin recently wrote of Circuital, “it’s a get-back move, but not of the grasping, lost-nerve/empty-tank variety,” and indeed there is something “get-back” about this record, recorded in a church gymnasium in the band’s hometown of Louisville, Ky.—a return to basics. Good melodies, lots of reverb, and damn good storytelling. But there’s still plenty of hard edge and grit to the fivesome of rock outlaws, just ask anyone who was lucky enough to be at their legendary four hour set from midnight to 4 a.m. at the 2008 Bonnaroo.

f SEPTA’s “We’re Getting There” slogan doesn’t make you yearn for New York City, a night of N.Y.C. underground film might. French filmmaker Céline Danhier’s Blank City is a patchwork quilt of documentary and oral history, giving us the clearest vision yet of the “No Wave Cinema” and “Cinema of Transgression” movements through interviews with the people who began it all.

“They would literally call up to my window and we’d go down the block and shoot a scene,” recalls Steve Buscemi, who stars in the film, along with acclaimed directors Jim Jarmusch and John Waters, Blondie’s Debbie Harry, hip-hop legend Fab 5 Freddy and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Stick around and take in the whole glamorously feminist marathon with three short Vivienne Dick films from the 1970s shot on Kodak Super-8 film that profile a group of New York women (including Pat Place and Adele Bertei, former band members of the Contortions, and punk DIY goddess Lydia Lunch) in real time as they talk, read letters, play pinball and bring art back into the hands of the people.

You’re Quite the Dish

Green Vegetable Gazpacho at Bistro 7

By Cristina Perachio feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Don’t be alarmed. I’m in season, cool and refreshing. If you haven’t heard, red is out.

Well, i think it’s a great color on you.

You don’t know how often I hear that.

Chef Michael O’Halloran wanted to experiment with traditional tomato-based gazpacho. He uses avocado, local English cucumber, basil and cilantro: fresh and local from Green Meadow Farm in Lilitz (with the exception of the avocados, of course).

Describe yourself in two words.

Just two? Refreshing and light. And complex.

That’s three. What makes you so complex?

O’Halloran uses a high-velocity blender, mixing my veggies and herbs with rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, buttermilk, salt and a dash of sugar. Then there’s my garnish. Heirloom tomato sorbet: tomatoes are run through a food processor, followed by a tamis (a mesh-like strainer) and then through an ice cream maker.

Quite the workout for a little tomato.

There’s more! I’m sprinkled with homemade, lightly pickled cuks and red onion for a crunchy texture then swirled with black pepper creme fraiche.

Cold with a Pinot Grigio or Prosecco.

You sure are confident for a soup.

I’m gazpacho. And when you’re a recurring character on a seasonal menu, it’s hard not to be. Customers are always asking for my recipe, calling as soon as the snow melts to find out when I’m debuting.

What’s your schedule like this year?

I’m here through September, but I’ll be back the Spring of 2012.

any words of advice to the more traditional dishes in Philly?

Also, it’s August in one of the greatest places on the planet for tomatoes. Why, then, was every one I tasted here so industrial in character, imported from Italy by the same firm Serafina uses for all its locations?

Veal-chop Milanese was topped with a sad, flaccid-leafed salad with little discernible acid and mealy little cubes of pale

By Brian Freedman bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com tomatoes the texture of stale Wonder Bread. The veal itself had been pounded out and fried into a thin, dry board that looked like home plate at the Cit somewhere around the fifth inning— the meat by the bone was raw, and the unappetizingly pale pink of cheap sushi.

Gnocchi di Mamma should shame whichever “mamma” it’s named after. The gnocchi were workable if a touch too glutenous, but any chance they had of delivering even a modicum of pleasure was undermined by the sad, wrinkled cherry tomatoes scattered throughout, the skins sliding off into plastic-textured leaves, the sauce devoid of any discernible seasoning.

Same with the farfalle: At Serafina, it seems, salt is about as integral to pasta water as subtlety is to the The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Still, at least the shrimp on that plate were well-prepared: Modest little curled-up fists of real suppleness and sweet flavor. (On a side note, though those gnocchi are made in-house, most of the other pastas are produced in a New York facility that pumps them out for all the Serafinas.)

Lobster, however, didn’t fare nearly as well. The lobster “carpaccio” appetizer was centered on a plateful of thin-sliced, overcooked lobster meat that had been brazenly splattered with an unappealing Jackson Pollock of “Champagne sauce,” essentially a house-made mayonnaise flavored with champagne and mustard. That poor crustacean died in vain. The corn, arugula and heart of palm salad at the center provided some sense of Calamari calamity: The pre-frozen, rubbery rings were accompanied with a Ragu-and-tin-can-tasting dipping sauce. life to the dish, but not nearly enough. At $19, tasting the lobster itself seems to be, you know, kind of important.

After spending a fruitless 10 minutes trying in vain to get the Beef carpaccio was just as underwhelming, a joyless plateful bartender’s attention, the hostess moped miserably up to me of mealy, generic-tasting filet mignon with what was supposed and my two companions and asked if all four of us were there to be sauced with truffle, but wasn’t. A parsley-bright salad was yet. No, I told her, the fourth was parking. At which point, and a welcome respite, but the grit I chomped through in my second without saying another word, she turned around and walked forkful diminished any modicum of pleasure it might otherwise away. have provided.

In Your Face

Gallery 339 devotes its walls to portraiture.

By Roberta Fallon

rfallon@philadelphiaweekly.com dav i d g r a h a m

Glassy eyed: A withered movie poster is one of the many takes on portraiture at Gallery 339.

For a long time now, artists have been stealing faces. Portraiture, whether sculptural, painted or printed, is theft. Even when a portrait shows a likeness, that face is often there to represent a larger truth or deliver a different message.

About Face at Gallery 339 takes aim at the human face—in black-and-white and color photographs by 25 artists—and forms a small congregation on the walls. Beautiful and compelling, moody, funny or poetic, the images are not in the least abstract but they are all conceptual, asking, “What’s in a face?”

The first thing you see when you enter the gallery is a wall of predominately sober images. Donald Camp’s ghostly photo with raw earth pigment, “Captain,” is a grainy, close-cropped image of a man staring up at you over the rim of his glasses. In Phillip Toledano’s digital print “me and dad,” dad is an elderly man who appears close to death.

There’s a gaunt and haunted-looking Andy Warhol, pictured by Neil Winokur in a 1982 Cibachrome print, whose blue background is eerily evocative of the void. The wall’s anchor piece is Andrea Modica’s platinum/palladium print of a skull sitting on what looks like a corrugated cardboard table top. The picture’s title, “Colorado Springs, CO (A15, Male, 56 years old)” implies that the skull is a specimen of some unknown and unnamed person.

This wall has a playful image, too, and several are lyrical without being mournful.

35

A Facebook-like profile photo of “Grant,” a smiling young man by Davin Youngs, is positively ebullient. Richard Renaldi’s “Cory” almost jumps off the wall. The small gelatin silver print of a young man in profile radiates a life lived intensely. Paul Cava’s pigment print, “Denise (New Mexico),” and Jason Robinette’s archival pigment print, “Untitled 13,” both exude yearning and old-fashioned beauty.

There’s plenty more in the exhibit, lots of it magical. Caitlin Price’s “Leslie” is an archival pigment print that captures a woman in a forbidding space—a dark shadowy zone under a cloverleaf highway overpass—her face illuminated by an oval of bright light that catches only her facial features as she stares down and away. It’s a weird and cinematic portrayal, whose celestial beam of light is echoed in Modica’s “Oneonta Yankee, Kent Wallace,” another face lit by a mystery light. David Graham’s print portrait of Elijah Wood is not really a portrait but a street scene of two wheat-pasted posters for the movie Everything Is Illuminated. Time and weather have eaten away at the posters, but like in the Picture of Dorian Gray, Wood’s youthful looks remain intact.

Whether intended or not, the wide range of shooting styles and approaches—from gelatin silver prints by Yuichi Hibi to screen grabs of a web project by Jen Davis—conveys the vibrancy of photography today. The show is a summer refresher—on a warm day the gallery’s cool ambiance is welcoming and the faces engaging. For a winning double header, pair this photo exhibit with a trip to the Art Museum’s “Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus,” and consider how photography has stolen portraiture—and faces—from contemporary painting. n

Viewers are greeted by four massive works by Arden Bendler Browning, which act as wonderful introductions to the show. Full of movement and dynamic combinations of color and shape, Browning’s paintings are filled with a loud, chaotic energy that evokes morning traffic. Staring at “Leftover” is like watching fleets of cars pass like lightening on I-95. The paintings are full of speed and pandemonium that drag you from lane to lane, street sign to street sign.

It’s like an assault on the senses, until you sit back and digest them as a collection of works and that chaos dissolves into normalcy, just like getting acquainted with a new city.

The exhibition’s resident celebrities are the Dufala brothers, Steven and Billy Blaise, who are known for their comedic yet intelligent visual statements on rampant wastefulness. Their contribution is no deviation from that mission but takes a less riotous approach, checking some of their more crude visual one-liners at the door. This isn’t to say the work doesn’t have the rebellious, street-wise sensibility we’ve come to expect of our Jersey boys. The wall drawing “Heap,” filled with tech junk, computers and machine belts, stands erect at the end of “Twenty Yard Dumpster Coffin,” a Dumpster lined with faux-satin fabric and decorated with chintzy gold filigree. “Heap” acts as

the perfect tombstone to the Dumpster; filled with soft, overflowing golden light, the Dumpster is a heavenly final resting place for what Steven calls “the ghostly trash” that spills from it and lands onto the giant “Heap.” What could have been two individually quirky pieces become a contemplative, almost spooky commentary on the effects of consumption. A third piece, “Entropy,” sits behind the Dumpster and takes a humorous look at sidewalk cement doodles.

Ben Peterson is another jokester with a message. His large-scale ink drawings display seemingly idyllic architectural landscapes disturbed by the various absurdities of city life. “City on a Hill” depicts your classic McMansion in a field, supported by the incongruous steel scaffolding, being impaled by a fallen tree—a statement of the instability of the foundations that make up our existence within the landscape. “Baggage Claim” shows a pagoda-like structure falling victim to a bevy of suitcases attached to its side, like the family SUV before a road trip. The drawings have razor-sharp precision and are full of color, but they take a backseat to some of the louder, more out-spoken works in the show.

The sleeper hit of this exhibition, though, comes from Amy Walsh, PAFA alumna and an instructor at the Academy as well as at Temple University. Walsh’s mixed-media sculptures, constructed together as one massive architectural form near the entry of the gallery, are viewed through five small eyeholes that play upon our society’s voyeuristic tendencies. Her installation requires the viewer to act in order to simply view, providing a level of physical engagement often absent in the contemporary gallery experience.

Walking past the exterior of the installation, composed from scraps of cardboard, wood and plastic, the work becomes incredibly evocative, recalling childhood expeditions through tiny crawl spaces and dusty attics. Or, at darker moments, it conjures up images of abandoned buildings being explored after blackness has blanketed the city. n

Six Pack Six Comebacks From Foreign Directors After Disastrous Hollywood Stints

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com The Great Madcap (1949): Hollywood has a

habit of hiring and abusing foreign filmmakers, but at least some—like Asif Kapadia, Indian-British director of the Sarah Michelle Gellar bomb The Return, who rebounded with this week’s Senna—at least got a film in. Luis Buñuel never did. The only work the surrealist (of Midnight in Paris fame) got was supervising Spanish-language versions of MGM films. One of his ideas was even ripped off for The Beast With Five Fingers. It wasn’t until he hit up Mexico that he got work—16 years after his last film, Land Without Bread—and made this hit comedy that, while forgotten, put him back on the path to awesomeness.

La Ronde (1950): The films German-born Max

Ophüls made in Hollywood—chiefly Letter From an Unknown Woman, Caught and The Reckless Moment—represent an incredible run. Too bad audiences didn’t notice. He scuttled off to France to make this cyclical rumination on free love, and the rest is history.

Cries and Whispers (1972): Often forgotten is Ingmar Bergman’s awfully short Hollywood period, during which he produced The Touch (1971), which dared pair Bibi Andersson with Elliot Gould.

Bolting home, he made the most stereotypically Bergmanesque film he could muster—a meditation on death and dying overwrought enough to score him another Oscar.

The Passenger (1975): Execs might not have

Black Book (2006): Paul Verhoeven had a checkered, oft-amazing Hollywood career— including Showgirls, a monstrosity intended to be a monstrosity—but by the nasty but rote Hollow Man, he’d clearly burned out. Returning to the Netherlands, he attempted to play nice—but only on his terms.

But at least she’s slutty with a purpose. Baya uses her bodacious bod to seduce right-wingers and convert them to advocating her lefty causes during pillow talk. A firm believer in the bumper-sticker slogan “Make Love, Not War,” she typically takes about 10 or so nights to turn around a rabid Nationalist, while bragging that centrists only require a single afternoon romp.

Credit Forestier’s fizzy work for this all coming off as far more endearing than it has any right to. At times a ringer for Zooey Deschanel, she’s a delightful screen presence, somehow even selling the ridiculous moment in which our scatter-brained young heroine forgets to put on clothes before leaving her house, getting on the Metro buck naked.

One Day

Grade: C+ Review by Matt Prigge Buried inside One Day, underneath a pile of slick transitions and generic Britishisms, lies an honest-bordering-onnihilistic treatise on how, to borrow a phrase from Gaspar Noé, time destroys everything. Unspooling over 20 years on the same day—July 15, aka St. Swithun’s Day, a possible Simpsons reference—director Lone Scherfig’s follow-up to An Education begins in 1988 with fresh postgrad Emma (Anne Hathaway) crowing about making a difference.

Instead, she’ll watch as plans falter, ambitions shrink and large chunks of life are wasted on bad jobs and bad lovers.

Such disappointment even applies to her friend-withoccasional-benefits Dexter (Jim Sturgess). What does this initial Ugly(ish) Duckling, who uses humor as a defense mechanism and thinks Tracey Chapman is passable sex music, see in this rakish lout, who coasts on privilege, good looks and a self-destructive streak? Despite Hathaway’s heroic efforts to convey passion, it’s a mystery, and not one of the truly mysterious ones. Sturgess’ Dexter is a horndog most in lust with himself, who either makes empty passes at his bestie or uses her for parasitic self-pity, especially once his career as one of England’s many obnoxious TV presenters leads to drugs and that. (Swiping a move from Martin Amis’ Success, his messy downfall parallels Emma’s rise as a children’s novelist.) Like this year’s Oscar telecast, Hathaway is left compensating for a lackluster partner.

Though the mechanics of the plot, adapted by David Nicholls from his bestseller, conspire to humble him as he approaches middle-age, theirs is a one-sided love, even as the film maintains they’re soulmates. In truth, he’s just another compromise, a slightly more attractive option than Ian (Rafe Spall), a googly-eyed, spastic “comic” who spends far too many segments as her mismatched paramour.

Almost despite itself, One Day remains cosmic to watch, the effect of watching compressed lives superficially similar to imbibing the Up! Series in one marathon sitting.

Nicholls’ storyline deserves credit for taking some nastily realistic turns, while Scherfig ensures the 20-plus segments are handled with variety and care, even if specific eras are hobbled by amusingly unimaginative song selections (“The Rhythm of the Night” for ’93, Fatboy Slim for ’00). But like Emma, it’s too often unaware of its true potential, content to settle for less than it deserves. n

Magic Trip

Grade: DReview by Sean Burns Oh, here we go again.

Just in case you haven’t yet had your fill of wheezy boomer nostalgia for “the ’60s, man,” here comes another hagiography for that tirelessly self-congratulating generation, courtesy of directors Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood.

Charting Ken Kesey’s sad decline from brilliant young novelist to drug-addled bore, Magic Trip is cobbled together from some 40 hours of 16mm footage shot by the Merry Band Of Pranksters during their surprisingly uneventful cross-country trip back in 1964.

Painting a school bus in Day Glo colors and christening it “Furthur,” Kesey led a gang with names like Intrepid Traveler, Grethen Fetchen Stark Naked on a long strange trip indeed, with the legendary Neal Cassidy (the real-life inspiration for Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac’s On The Road ) taking the wheel during motormouthed amphetamine jags. All this and more was already chronicled with incisive wit by writer Tom Wolfe in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, and if anything, the film proves that some things are better read than witnessed.

It’s mostly blurry, out-of-focus hippie home movies, with some awful dubbing attempting to cover for a lack of sync sound. Stanley Tucci narrates, and at times serves as an interviewerafter-the fact, providing awkward segues for mismatched, poor-quality tape recordings.

Kesey considered the bus trip his life’s work, and reading Wolfe’s riveting account at the impressionable age of 17 it was hard not to imagine the experience as some sort of landmark counter-culture uprising.

Watching the film—which was notably already assembled and then deemed worthless with good cause by the actual participants at the time—it’s impossible to envision a duller band of outsiders. Pontificating endlessly in pseudoprofound circles, the blabber-mouthed yahoos take a shitload of drugs and frolic in the woods, blowing into flutes and carrying on about what “America” means. It hardly looks like a revolution, and you won’t find much mention of Vietnam or civil rights. It’s just home movies of a bunch of spoiled rich kids getting wasted. n

Folk-Fest Follies Celebrating 50 years of acoustic hijinks.

By Jeffrey Barg jbarg@philadelphiaweekly.com There was the time when Woody Guthrie pulled a semiautomatic out of his guitar case and killed everybody.

Or when Peter, Paul and Mary opened their set with a menage a trois in perfect three-part harmony. And you don’t even want to know what Pete Seeger was clamping with his capo.

In truth, folk festivals can be pretty tame, friendly affairs. But that’s not to say Philly’s hasn’t seen its share of memorable oddball moments.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Philly Folk Fest—which this year welcomes such luminaries as Arlo Guthrie, the Levon Helm Band and Tom Rush, as well as a stellar younger generation including the David Wax Museum, Trombone Shorty and Gregory Alan Isakov—we asked founder and longtime host Gene Shay for his sweetest Schwenksville memories.

Folk Fancy: “It’s Saturday night at the Old Pool Farm, and a white, shiny stretch limo pulls down the hill, with three men on each side walking along with it. Inside is Judy Collins, dressed to the nines, ready to go onstage. When Judy gets out, she’s beautifully dressed, wearing high heels, hair perfectly coiffed. Janis Ian, wearing a pair of cutoff jeans, yells out, ‘Judy, it’s a folk festival!’”

Arresting Humor: “At one festival in the 1980s, the stage crew got my assistant to tell me to tell a joke onstage. As soon as I told the joke, two state police officers grabbed me, handcuffed me, read me my Miranda rights, and said, ‘We’re arresting Gene Shay for impersonating a comedian.’”

Will It Float?: “I was hanging out backstage with Phil Ochs and Dave Van Ronk. Somebody had sent Judy Collins a basket of fruit, and it hadn’t been opened. Van Ronk and Ochs are discussing whether it would float in a swimming pool. So they launch it into the deep end. The basket sinks and all the fruit comes up to the top. Judy never did get to see that basket.”

Smothered and Covered: “Tommy Smothers was playing at the nearby Valley Forge Music Fair. John Hartford went over to visit his friends the Smothers Brothers, and he convinced Tommy Smothers to show up. He showed up unannounced and did a routine with his yo-yo while Hartford played. The crowd went nuts for that.”

Just Like Gene Shay’s Blues: “Bob Dylan came to the festival, but nobody knew it. He came with David Bromberg and stayed backstage. He had a shmatta on his head.

They asked me if I could do crowd control if they could get him to do a guest song or two. He decided not to do that, but a woman named Bessie Jones from the Georgia Sea Island Singers gets up onstage and says, ‘So I was just talking to Bobby Dylan backstage a minute or two ago ... ’ And the whole crowd lets out an audible gasp.”

Critic's Pick Toxic Holocaust “ Four horses approaching you/ Breathing pestilent winds/ Bringing their nuclear fire,” snarls Toxic Holocaust’s Joel Grind on “Judgment Awaits You” from Conjure & Command, released this year on Upper Darby’s Relapse Records.

Grind’s been sharing his dark fantasies since the late-1990s, when he started recording in his Portland, Ore., home, playing all the instruments himself. Raised on horror films, death metal, black metal and hardcore, he was always a scene outlaw. But his cohesive vision was masterfully conveyed even on his first cassette demos: alarming speed, heinous riffs, screaming lead guitars, a ferocious but articulate growl and a wonderfully apocalyptic perspective. His world is one where the enemy’s unknowable—“The killer’s loose on the streets/ But you’d never know it/ He could be you or me,” he warns on “Nowhere To Run.” Since, the toxic beast lurks within us all, the only solution is to thrash or be thrashed.

Where Men Meet Men

I went to Craigslist to look at the kinky shit people are into. And I found a picture of my sister. Her eyes are blurred out, but one pic is of her nude and one is of her giving head, and there’s a tattoo that’s unique to her and clearly visible. I’m 99 percent sure it’s her.

The ad was from her boyfriend, looking for a “horsecock” to stretch her pussy while he sits in the next room. It’s her business, but it’s a mindfuck. I half want to call her out, shame her out of it. She just turned 22.

Sister Pics Dilemma Your sister is an adult, SPD, and adults are free to post what they like to CL, and adult females are free to stick whatever they like—mancock, horsecock, whatevercock—in their pussies. It’s hypocritical of you to enjoy the perversity on display at CL and then clutch your pearls in horror when you realize that someone you love— gasp!—is just as pervy as you are. So you’re not going to call your sister out or shame her.

But you are going to say something to her.

There’s a chance that your sister isn’t aware that her boyfriend is posting her pictures to CL. Horsecocks, stretching pussies, the GF getting it on while he sits in the next room—that’s all standard-issue cuckold fantasy stuff, SPD. There are women out there who are into cuckolding, of course, and there are women who’ve given their partners the OK to use their pictures in online personal ads seeking thirds for cuckold scenarios. However …

Lots of men with cuckold fantasies have posted pics of their actual wives and girlfriends to sites like CL without the consent of their actual wives and girlfriends. These guys don’t see—or refuse to see—the potential harm in rubbing one out while fantasizing about the responses they’ve received from men who want to fuck their wives/ girlfriends. The harm comes, of course, when the wife or girlfriend is recognized by a sibling, a coworker or an employer.

On the off chance that your sister’s BF is posting private pics to CL without your sister’s OK, SPD, you need to say something to her. She needs to know those pics are out there if she doesn’t already know it, and if she does know they’re out there, she needs to know that she can be recognized.

Your sister doesn’t need to be called out, and she doesn’t need to be shamed. What she needs is a heads-up from a concerned brother. Give her that, SPD, then butt the fuck out.

I’m a 20-year-old gay male and I entered into a relationship with a guy at the beginning of the summer. He disclosed early on that he has a foot fetish. Sex usually consists of him topping me while sucking my toes or me jerking him off while he’s fondling the bottoms of my feet. My problem with the whole ordeal is this: I don’t know diddly about foot fetishism.

I’ve talked to my boyfriend about what I can do to make things better and what he likes, but he’s so bashful about the subject that I haven’t gotten any information save “I prefer the soles of your feet.” I have tried experimenting with things like footjobs (which didn’t work out very well because I had no idea what I was doing), and not knowing what else to do is frustrating.

I am currently studying in France until the end of August, and I want to surprise him with my newfound knowledge on his kink and new ways to get him off. What should I know?

What would you recommend? And could you fill me in on proper footjob technique?

Seeking Orgasm Level Escalation

Male foot fetishists—the straight ones, anyway— will tell you that they react to feet the way most straight guys react to tits: aroused by the sight of ’em, want to do stuff to ’em. Some wanna suck ’em, some wanna fuck ’em and some kinksters wanna safely, sanely and consensually “torture” ’em. In other words, SOLE, it’s different depending on who the woman with the tits in question happens to be fucking.

Same goes for foot fetishists: Some wanna suck ’em, some wanna fuck ’em some wanna “torture” ’em. (That’s called “bastinado,” and it should only be done safely, sanely and consensually.) To find out what a particular foot fetishist enjoys most, you’ll have to ask the foot fetishist who’s enjoying your feet.

Your boyfriend probably finds it hard to talk about his fetish because he feels ashamed, needlessly so, and may have been rejected or mocked by previous partners when he opened up about his kink. (To avoid making his bashfulness worse, SOLE, avoid using terms like “problem” and “ordeal” when discussing his kink.)

It’s possible that the stuff you’re doing for him now—sticking your toes in his mouth while he fucks you, jerking him off while he fondles your feet—fulfills all of his fantasies. Keep doing what you’re doing now, SOLE, and as his confidence levels about his kink and your relationship both grow, he’ll become less bashful about discussing his kink.

As for a proper footjob: Bring the bottoms of your feet together and let him fuck the gap between your soles with his lubed-up cock, titty-fucking style, or have him lie on the floor while you sit on the edge of the bed and move the lubed-up sole of one of your feet back and forth across his cock until he blows his load.

Have fun!

If you do end up having to redefine the word “rick,” which you threatened to do in your recent Funny or Die video, I have a suggestion: rick (v): to remove santorum orally. (“He was so grateful for the lay that he ricked his partner.”)

Happy To Help P.S. Thanks for your efforts on behalf of equality for all.

You’re welcome, HTH, and in case anyone missed my Funny or Die video—in which I threatened to redefine Rick Santorum’s first name if he didn’t lay off the gay bashing—you can watch it here: tinyurl.com/ricksick.

Santorum hasn’t laid off the gay bashing, as it’s all he’s got, so it looks like I’m going to have to go ahead and redefine his first name, too. (My apologies to Rick Dees, Rick Fox, Ricki Lake, and all the other innocent Ricks out there.) The definition I proposed in my video was a little too long and involved, so I vote for adopting yours, HTH. Now “Rick Santorum” isn’t just a vile and disgusting politician—he’s a vile and disgusting sentence.

That said, I don’t think someone would rick his or her partner out of gratitude; ricking someone—sucking the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex out of someone’s ass—is something a person would do only under duress or under orders from a cruel BDSM top.
