Regarding last week’s cover story: Thanks for the excellent article on the issues of SEPTA and the proposed Smart Card implementation. Frankly, it does not surprise me that there have been extensive delays to implementation of a more modern system.

For years I have watched as SEPTA has steadily raised fares while cutting back on customer convenience. While other large metropolitan areas enjoy relatively excellent mass transit, Philadelphia

Tow-truck drivers cry foul.

convince City Council to pass less restrictive laws on the industry, including upping the fees companies are allowed to charge. And if lobbying is unsuccessful, the association will try its hands at politics directly. “We need to put a guy in office,” Blum explains, figuring association members can use their contacts with business owners citywide to run campaigns and get tow-friendly candidates elected to Council.

Blum’s eventual goal is even more ambitious: To take on the PPA. Operators say it’s unfair the PPA doesn’t follow the same laws as private towers; for example, private operators must mark their territory with a 36by-36 inch sign complete with name,

Towing Lobbyist

The Apple store is here, but it’s not the only game in town.

By Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com Everett Katzen knew this day would come. In fact, the president of Springboard Media, a Center City-based Apple computer retailer and reseller, was warned about it years ago.

In 2004, his parent company called him up, saying it had decided to open a flagship store in Center City. Not only would such a move double Katzen’s fiveblock-radius competition, he’d now be going toe-to-toe with a store that, according to Apple’s 2002 financial statement, had been prone to “cannibalize” its smaller independent retailers.

Obviously, that Apple store Katzen had been warned of fell through. But on July 30, Steve Jobs’ global conglomerate opened its Philly branch at 1607 Walnut St. Luckily for Katzen, the premature announcement six years earlier became his catalyst. Rather than shaking in his iBoots, he prepared his company for what was to come. And he got creative.

Springboard Media, at 2212 Walnut St., began accepting trade-ins of up to $1,500 toward a new machine, which, Katzen says, accounts for 25 percent of sales. He also began handing out loaner computers to customers whose machines may need in-store service over an extended period of time.

Free, post-purchase individualized workshops on both Apple/iLife and third-party products had begun.

Above all that, though, Katzen has found a way to keep his Apple products personal, working with individuals and small businesses to maintain their iWhatevers.

“After we sell [our customers] the equipment,” Katzen says, “we can deliver it, install it, make sure everything’s working properly and support it ongoing.”

In addition to that, Springboard

phone number and address before they can tow a car, whereas the PPA tows from streets marked with nothing more than diminutive “no parking any time” signs. And a law awaiting Mayor Nutter’s signature could open the door for the PPA to ticket and possibly tow off private property, long the domain of private tow drivers. Blum wants to fight back, and even go so far as to wrest the contract for towing cars from public streets away from the iron grip of the PPA. “We would attack Parking Authority,” he says. “Private tow has more tow trucks, flat-beds and land than Parking Authority. We can make a bid on Parking Authority’s contract.”

The prospect is unlikely, says PPA spokesperson Linda Miller. “There is

Private tow-truck drivers are fed up with an ever-changing web of inconsistently enforced city regulations. They’re angry about the constant specter of the Philadelphia Parking Authority threatening to elbow in on their business. And they’re pissed off that media always portrays them as the bad guys.

One operator thinks he has the solution. “We need to stand on each other’s shoulders,” says West Philly tow baron Lew Blum. “We need to organize.” Blum is moving to create an association of at least 30 to 40 towers to pool resources, delve into bare-knuckle City Council politics, fight back against the PPA and improve the image of private tow in Philadelphia.

The notoriety of the towing industry is likely to grow even greater with the October debut of the show Wreck Chasers on TLC, which follows several Philly tow drivers around the city as they cruise for accidents. Undeterred, Blum brushes aside concerns that city residents might find a monolithic association of private towers more terrifying than reassuring, and thinks his association can push back against the bad press. “We need to let them know that private tow is not the problem,” he says. “We can take out ads in newspapers.”

Operators think if they have a chance to tell their side of the story, the public wouldn’t be as inclined to demonize the industry. A number of tow-truck companies were the subject of consumer complaints in PW ’s Aug. 25 cover story (“Off the Hook: How the City Lost Control of the Tow-Truck Industry”). But from the perspective of the companies, they aren’t the offenders but the victims, forced to deal with abusive, irate and mendacious people coming to retrieve their cars.

Mike Otterson II of South Philly Towing rattles off a list of ways he’s been abused by car owners. “I’ve been chased down the street by dogs,” he says. “I’ve had guns pulled on me. Once, a whole bar emptied out and came after me when I was hooking up a car.”

Blum says his organization can help by educating members on how to obey city regulations and deal peacefully with angry car owners. The body would be self-policing, he says. “We’d have rules, regulations and a code of ethics,” he says.

“We would have the right to discipline towers or suspend them.”

Besides a kinder, more gentler towing industry, Blum has bigger plans in mind—namely hiring a lobbyist to

no bid for that,” Miller says about the PPA’s task of towing cars off city streets.

“That’s per City Council legislation.

They’d have to change the legislation.”

This isn’t the first time trouble with the city has prompted tow drivers to organize. In 1992, the Philadelphia Towing and Collision Association formed and successfully lobbied City Council against passing a “rotational towing” list aimed at putting a stop to tow trucks from racing to accidents scenes to solicit work.

However, the association unraveled soon after due to expense and lack of interest, and the rotation list eventually became law in 2005. South Philly owner Mike Otterson Sr. says there was at least one more attempt over the years at a unified towing organization that didn’t pan out.

One organization does exist in the city, the Philadelphia Authorized Towers and Salvors Association. With 11 members, the group focuses mostly on stolen and abandoned vehicles, while working with the city to refine the rotation list, which still isn’t working as advertised.

However, relations seem chilly with the Towers and Salvors and other companies. Blum danced around questions about why he wasn’t interested in trying to join the existing group, and Towers and Salvors spokesman Joe Parente declined to comment on the potential for a new organization. “Our guys are good towers,” Parente says. “We don’t want to get our names even slightly associated with anyone who’s not doing anything the proper way.”

There is a statewide group, the Pennsylvania Towing Association, which helps towers navigate bureaucracies and regulations. However, only four Phillybased operators are listed as members, and Otterson Sr. says companies from outside the city the tend to frown on rough-around-the-edges Philly towing.

That leaves Blum’s new group—if it ever gets past the planning stages.

Blum says he is lining up support and already has a handful of other operators on board, but those contacted by PW either declined to comment or took a wait-and-see attitude.

“So far nothing’s become of it,” says a representative from Siani’s Towing in North Philly who gave his name as Red. “I’m not really sure about it at this point.”

“I would be receptive,” Otterson Sr. says. “Everybody wants to talk about it.” However, he says he’s skeptical about putting up money for lawyers and lobbyists, having seen towing associations form and fail in the past. “I don’t feel confident that companies can stick together,” he says.

Despite doubts, Blum says he’s pushing forward. “We need allies,” he says. “Right now we’re running around like goddamn chickens with our heads cut off.” n

September 8-14, 2010

The root of the problem, for the BRT and its successors, is not obstinate patronage hacks, but a logistically staggering task: a few dozen staffers must judge, in a “just and equitable” way, hundreds of thousands of properties, most of which they will never actually see. Currently, assessors are armed with the most rudimentary information: sale prices, square footage, vague descriptions of condition. (Given such limitations, why wouldn’t there be errors?) Ideally, workers would inspect each property, using knowledge and discretion, along with the numbers, to establish proper tax rates.

But such care is unfeasible in a city our size; instead, we get the pipe dream’s polar opposite: computer models, Google Maps and 250 percent increases.

It’s difficult to see how the OPA will overcome this obstacle. Refreshing the appeals board is a start, but more must be done to prevent the necessity of appeals in the first place. Nutter understands this; so does Richie McKeithen, the OPA’s newly appointed head. But as Oct. 1 approaches, details about what changes are actually taking place have been sketchy. One OPA representative told PW that the agency’s only real change so far is its name. And, in the words of the Committee of Seventy, “any former BRT employee who was regularly performing functions and duties related to the OPA’s new responsibilities … will automatically go to the OPA.” So it seems to boil down to this: The BRT was voted out, but not quite away.

Rather, it was renamed and sliced in two. Its staff, for now, remains largely intact. Its most relevant change appears to be in the swapping of its most recognizable employees with new ones—possibly as well-connected as their forerunners— who will join a massive and unwieldy system. Is it cynical to wonder how much the situation will improve?

Whatever large-scale fix the OPA devises will be a long time in coming— at least two years, by the estimate of former BRT Interim Director Richard Negrin (Though given the size of the job and the pace of bureaucracy, two years seems highly optimistic). Until a workable structure is in place, there will be a moratorium on tax hikes; as Nutter said in January, “It is the only fair thing to do.” So when our bills do go up again, perhaps in 2012, we’ll see whether or not our property-tax system has actually been made “fair”—or if one set of problems has given way to another. n

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

Last week, Mayor Nutter announced the nominees who will sit on the Board of Property Assessment Appeals—the agency that, along with the Office of Property Assessment, will replace the Board of Revision of Taxes on Oct. 1.

The 21 candidates, chosen by a separate nominating panel, will be cut to seven by Nutter, then submitted to City Council for approval. The process, part of the BRT’s widely cheered demise, represented, as Nutter said in a press release, “another important step forward in the city’s shared goal of creating a system of property tax assessments and appeals that is just, equitable, and transparent.”

Unsurprisingly, though, the method by which the 21 were chosen was opaque, with the nominating panel backed by various business associations; Councilwomen Anna Verna and Jannie Blackwell were also involved. This didn’t seem terribly different from the BRT’s appointment process, which was dependent upon, according to the Committee of Seventy, “Party bosses, influential ward leaders and political powerbrokers.” Nonetheless, panel chair Tim Roseboro said, “This list [of nominees] reflects countless hours of application review, interviews and spirited discussion. We are proud of our work and pleased with the results.”

What were those results? A host of the well-connected: Among the nominees were Milton Street’s ex-son-in-law, a pair of former BRT assessors, two favored by Verna and Blackwell, and various Palmlunching realtors and lawyers. While it remains to be seen who will survive Nutter’s culling, such inside baseball seemed anathema to the house-cleaning we were led, perhaps naively, to expect: “The change should be significant,” the mayor said in a 2009 interview with WHYY. “Ultimately we have to restore trust for the general public in whatever entity comes next.”

Of course, the nominees had to come from somewhere, and an overlap between qualifications and connections must be expected, to a degree. Whether or not we wind up with an appeals board that’s as dispiriting as its predecessor, the real issue is not the board itself, but the infrastructure behind it. The BRT employs 150 workers; its seven-member appellate panel was its scowling public face—not the agency itself. While Chairwoman Charlesretta Meade and her compatriots bore the brunt of our loathing, they were the end product, not the sole cause, of a long and busted system.

News & Opinion Stayin’ Alive, from page 5 doesn’t require appointments for customer care (Apple’s official store does) and while that’ll cost you upward of $90, it’s all applied toward labor and new parts. Springboard also delivers to Center City locations and will work to recover lost data on your Mac—something Apple Genius Bars, as they’re called in the official Apple retail stores, won’t mess around with.

Bundy Computer Company, Center City’s other independent Apple reseller, did not return calls for comment.

Springboard Media and Bundy are known as Apple Authorized Resellers or Apple Specialists and work in partnership with the company to obtain that status. Apple Specialists are a coalition of 115 small tech businesses located throughout the U.S and Canada and are connected through Apple Specialist Marketing Corporation (ASMC) in South Elgin, Ill. ASMC has been working in conjunction with Apple since the 1990s and takes pride in the fact that it stood by Apple even as businesses began lining their cubicles with PCs. After a late ’90s surge in Apple cyber cafes, then the opening of two official retail shops in COH PW HalfPage Ad.pdf 2001 (one2010 in McLean, Va.; the other8/26/2010 in

Glendale, Calif.), Apple began its rise to the top.

Because of this success, independent retailers have taken hits. A Northern California chain called ComputerWare went out of business after 17 years when Apple began its West Coast front.

Elite Computers, another independent Apple retailer, bought ComputerWare but went out of business in 2003. It then sued Apple, claiming it failed to honor contracts and warranties and stole trade secrets from its own resellers.

Gary Allen, who runs ifoAppleStore.com, a blog dedicated to info regarding Apple stores, has a few ideas on how resellers can protect themselves.

“I’ve received emails from resellers saying ‘A store’s coming to my city.

What am I going to do?’” he says. “I’ve been able to point them in a direction where at least they don’t feel alone in the experience.”

There are two types of Apple resellers, Allen says: Those that sell equipment and do repairs, and those that hold classes, install computer systems on-site, handle trade-ins and find ways to1:49:37 exploitPMApple’s Genius Bar short-

Still, an Apple store’s attraction can’t be denied.

Christopher Ryan, a web designer and writer at The Apple Blog, says: “What attracts people most to the store is that there is more to the Apple store than just buying. You enter the store to buy your Mac but you return to learn, as Apple has eloquently put it before.

With workshops and the Genius Bar, and even social events at some of the high-profile locations, the stores exist to provide a place for people to just be.”

Katzen is confident the changes he’s brought to his store are sufficient and says there’s no ill-will toward Apple— quite the opposite—for moving into town. “[The Apple retail store is] going to bring more Mac awareness to Philadelphia. We’re one of the largest cities in the U.S. and it didn’t make sense to not have an Apple store in Philadelphia. I spent 15 years building Apple’s market share here and it’s nice to see Apple’s investing in Philadelphia.” n

comings—exactly what Katzen says he’s done. This is what Allen says independent resellers have to do to stay alive—to work alongside Apple and to beat it at its own game.

Apple has thrived through the Great Recession (It posted its largest profit ever, $15.7 billion, in 2010’s third quarter) because of its ability to innovate while others are slowing down, he says.

“I think [Apple’s expansion] formula has been more established now. They continue expanding … and independent companies now have to say, ‘What can we do here to co-exist?’”

Tony winner Stew, with Heidi Rodewald and their band, the Negro Problem, challenge racial preconceptions at the Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe this week.

•

about his pursuit of the Dutch painter, who spurns his advances at every turn, even shacking up with her threesome-inclined art professor at one point. Then in the last verse, things take a turn, and in a few short lines, the folk singer reveals a depth the Point has rarely seen: “Then the naked Dutch painter at your door says she finally loves you/ But she said ‘I’ll see you later’ when she saw another naked painter sittin’ in the kitchen with you/ Well she seemed a little shattered, then she got a little pissed/ When she saw that you were flattered by the fact that you’d be missed/ While the naked Dutch painter at your door says … ”

September 8-14, 2010

It’s 2003 at Bryn Mawr’s venerable Point coffeehouse, a venue that won’t exist in a few years. Stew and Heidi are the opening act for musical jokester Dan Bern, and these first lyrics are giving the room the impression he’s one of those “funny” folk singers—good for a laugh, but rarely deep. Stew continues: “The naked Dutch painter in your bed does not want to sleep with you/ She just feels like being naked, you don’t think that you can take it with her next to you/ She says, ‘Gandhi used to sleep between two naked women’/ But you’re not the Mahatma, that’s a whole ’nother religion/ And the naked Dutch painter in the bed does not want to sleep with you.”

He continues through a bunch more funny verses

he lights dim. A round, goateed man with an acoustic guitar steps to the mic and begins a soft, plaintive web of fingerpicking. He introduces himself: His name is Stew. Behind him, a pale, stringbean of a woman named Heidi starts thrumming away on an electric bass. Stew begins to sing.

“The naked Dutch painter in the kitchen does not want to fuck you/ She’s got seventeen boyfriends and an eight o’clock class to get to/ She’s smoking hash all night with some coffee amaretto/ She’s asking stupid questions ’bout my groovy black ghetto/ And the naked Dutch painter in the kitchen does not want to fuck you.”

Strange trip

Now it’s 2010, and the years in between were a

little kinder to Stew than that elusive naked painter was. There’s an actor in D.C. singing Stew’s incisive lyrics of faded love in Amsterdam now—part of a recent revival of Passing Strange, the critically acclaimed musical Stew starred in and wrote, drawing heavily on his exploits as an expat in Europe (if not that exact painter). The show ran on Broadway for five months, earned Stew a Tony and was made into a movie of the same name by Spike Lee. The image of Stew in the audience of the Passing Strange revival is undoubtedly, well, strange. This is the first time someone other than Stew has taken on the lead role of the Narrator—a character who functions as Stew’s older, wiser alter ego, keeping up a running musical commentary on the actions and thoughts of Youth, Stew’s younger, dumber alter ego. As the new Narrator, this D.C. actor has, essentially, taken over the lead in Stew’s autobiography; the real Stew is free to relax in the audience

some pages. So rather than blow them off, he and Rodewald went back to L.A. to try their hands at writing a script, which took some getting used to.

“In high school, the drama club and the stonerrock kids are mortal enemies, so I was a little suspicious,” Stew says. “But I started to find out that there were things about theater that were connected to rock ’n’ roll.” He started looking back— way back—to musical theater well before the dawn of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“Guys like Molière would have traveling bands that would incorporate the town lore,” he says. “The band would arrive in town and go to a bar. They hear shit about whatever town they’re in, and then they incorporate that into the show that night.

People love that. I was like, ‘Shit, I do that all the time on the road.’”

When he realized how well old theater traditions could relate to the rock ’n’ roll world that he knew, the idea of musical theater became much more palatable.

“I started reading about the old Globe Theatre and Shakespeare,” he says. “Guys are standing around drinking mead, men dressed as women … that sounds like a club I played last week in Jersey.”

Passing Strange is the largely but

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

as his alter ego sings his life night after night.

But there’s a chance to see Stew himself sing next week at World Cafe Live, where many of the Point’s regular performers ended up. This time, though, he and his band, The Negro Problem, are at the top of the bill.

September 8-14, 2010 • 10

“[Passing Strange co-composer Heidi Rodewald and I] went into the theater with a conflict: We hated most musical theater,” Stew says on the phone from his New York home. “Especially rock musicals.”

Since he was a teen, Stew, now nearly 50, cut his teeth in bands, from punk to self-described “Afrobaroque.” He made a name for himself among rock cognoscenti over the years as a hyperliterate musical bard. Critics tripped over themselves to come up with a clever name for his edgy, stereotypebending style (one writer deemed it “Blackarach”).

Then the theater came calling.

“The Public Theater in New York came to us and said, ‘Your songs sound like they could be something theatrical,’” Stew says. “And I did what everyone else in every rock band ever does: I lied and said we’re working on a musical.” Much to Stew’s surprise, the theater followed up, asking to see

not entirely autobiographical tale of a middle-class kid who grows up in South Central Los Angeles feeling out of place because of his preference for French avant-garde cinema and PBS over stereotypical ghetto trappings.

Spurning his mother, whom he feels is overly involved in his life, he ditches L.A. for Amsterdam, then Berlin, in search of “the real” among two compelling and very different bands of artists.

With whip-smart writing, a keen melodic sensibility and a score covering everything from punk to psychedelia to vaudeville, the show starred Stew as “Narrator,” often interacting with “Youth”—a younger version of Narrator—walking and singing through his own life.

The journey is laced with acerbic, often biting racial commentary about the nature of “blackness” and “whiteness,” the preconceived notions we carry about both skin color and nationality, and what our sociocultural upbringing entitles us to—none of which sounds nearly as fun as the show actually is. The script frequently manages to make racialidentity issues really, really funny.

For example, Youth, trying to prove his street cred to skeptical flatmates in Berlin, belligerently asks, “Do you know what it’s like to hustle for dimes on the mean streets of South Central?” Narrator stops the play dead in its tracks with an amused shot through the fourth wall. “Nobody in this play knows what it’s like to hustle for dimes on the mean streets of South Central.”

Or there’s the early scene in church, where 14-year-old Youth—who usually despises church— for once finds himself excited by the call-andresponse of the service, which he academically identifies as descended from the tribal chants of the motherland. When his mother smacks him into submission for this embarrassing semi-heresy, he pleads, “But it was on PBS.” Few are able to write about the absurdity of racial

stereotypes with such dexterity, conjuring wildly conflicting notions and emotions all at once. Some of the show’s darkest humor comes in “The Black One,” a vaudevillian minstrel romp that’s at once clever, hilarious and very uncomfortable.

As you might expect from someone whose band is called The Negro Problem,” Stew’s pretty comfortable with discomfort. He had his doubts about how comfortable Broadway would be with it, though.

“Our question going into this was: Can we do the same music that we’d want to play otherwise, and are these people able to handle that?” he says. “Not the audience—we knew they could handle it—but the producers?”

But the play went to Broadway with that deliberate discomfort. “Who lends the club that speakeasy air? The black one! The black one!” Narrator sings, as Youth shucks and jives across the stage in Berlin.

“Who dances like a god and has wunderbar hair?

Der Schvartze!/ Now he’s the life of every soiree!

He’ll give the bum’s rush to your ennui!/ Turn up these lights ’cause I barely can see/ The black one!”

But despite Stew’s doubts, Passing Strange garnered seven Tony nominations—including Best Musical, Best Actor (for Stew), Best Featured Actor, Best Featured Actress and Best Original Score— and a Tony win, for Best Book of a Musical.

There are a couple obvious problems with the

concept of an autobiographical musical written by and starring the same person: First, it has to end at some point. But even more difficult, someone else might want to try doing it.

“I’ve been getting this backhanded compliment that the show can’t work without me,” Stew says.

“People think they’re being nice, but really they’re insulting the writing.”

The first one to take the plunge ended up being the Studio Theatre in D.C., whose twice-extended run of Passing Strange closed last week. The show, which starred actor Jahi Kearse as Narrator, departed significantly from the original, moving from a Broadway-sized theater to the Studio’s intimate, general-admission space. A sparse, dynamic set and a much larger cast—15 people, compared with the original’s seven—made for a very different show than the one on Broadway. But even in creating its own show, the Studio gleaned all of its decisions from the rich, textual source.

“We put together the role of the Narrator as a storyteller, a person who was looking back, but also experiencing this interaction with the Youth,” says Victoria Joy Murray, co-director of the revival. “We talked about what it’s like to be in this space where you’re reflecting on your life and wishing you could change things, but also enjoying the clever moments. What does time do to memory? When you look back on a life lived, how do you change things for the better or for the worse?”

Murray says she’d seen Spike Lee’s film of the original—once—and then she and the cast “put it under the pillow” where it wouldn’t influence their work too much.

The show ended up getting some serious accolades, but the heaviest praise came from the source himself.

“My critical faculties dissolved after the first six seconds,” Stew says. “The opening bass riff happened, and I thought, ‘He’s not playing this exactly like Heidi played it. I wonder if I’m going to like this.’ And right after I accepted that, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, he’s playing it differently—and they’re doing all of this differently—because it’s a different show.

I loved that they didn’t do what we did.”

“With any artistic endeavor, you hope that it

These days, Stew is back in the studio, recording the music from Making It, a song cycle performed in February. In it, he and co-writer Rodewald delve into the end of their 10-year relationship, which happened to coincide with Passing Strange’s run.

“I broke up with my girlfriend of 10 years, and we had to be in a play for two years after that,” he says. But the process of making Making It allows for healing—as the two are still working, touring and recording together, it’s clear that even rock ’n’ roll drama can be set aside for the sake of rock ’n’ roll.

“I like doing it fast,” he says of the recording process. “Most of my favorite records and probably most of your favorite records were recorded quickly—a moment was captured, and nobody labored over it.

“Listen to Dark Side of the Moon, and then listen to Robert Johnson. I love Pink Floyd, but there isn’t a vocal performance on there that knocks me over. With Robert Johnson, he just went into a motel room with a bottle of whiskey and pressed record.”

While this recording session recaps Stew and Rodewald’s recent collaboration, they and the

Negro Problem are digging deep for a slate of upcoming shows, of which Philly, he says, is the “guinea pig.” While there will be selections from the old catalog, Stew is under no illusions about the basis of his recent fame. The Live Arts Festival Bar is screening the movie version of Passing Strange just days before his appearance at World Cafe Live, and he knows the songs will be fresh in everyone’s heads.

“Some writer in the Voice was talking recently about the ‘really good’ Prince concerts where he’d play all the hits,” he says. “And I’m thinking, ‘That’s so lame.’ We’re compelled [to play the songs from Passing Strange], because why be an asshole about it? But I also want to have fun.”

They’ll also play songs from his and Rodewald’s most recent work-in-progress, the upcoming Brooklyn Omnibus, a song cycle of vignettes from the borough and a concept they hope to expand.

“We want to get cities to commission us to write a song cycle about their city,” he says.

“So hopefully the city of Philadelphia wants to take some of the budget for fixing up the Liberty Bell and get us to write about the city.

“And I’m not just saying that,” he adds, in true Molièrian fashion. “We really love it there.” n

will transcend that moment and circumstance,” Murray says. “Stew was appreciative that we did that—that it wasn’t beholden to his image, but rather we recognized it as a universal story.

Doing the show is really about grabbing hold of those universal things in the work.”

At least five different Passing Strange productions are now in the works, including a Spanish version in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

There would be no post-rock without Tortoise. When the instrument-switching, Kraut-loving outfit first emerged 20 years ago, its instrumental seascapes and moody percussive reveries built a bridge between jazz, rock and various flavors of electronic experiment. Over time and six studio albums (most recently, the rough and eclectic Beacons of Ancestorship), the band has honed an astonishing technical proficiency. Live, the difficulty factor becomes immediately apparent, as time signatures mutate and melodic lines skip hop over invisible genre boundaries. Five members —John McEntire, John Herndon, Dan Bitney, Jeff Parker and Doug McCombs—lob musical no-look passes at one another, in an intricate, infinitely malleable game of collaboration.

Sara “Saartjie” Baartman’s large hips and bottom drew those fascinated by her form to European freak shows, where she was displayed for onlookers to view and grope. Across the ocean in turn-of-the-century America, a young man named Ota Benga was brought from the Congo to be caged and exhibited alongside monkeys. Although time and space separate the two, they are part of the little-known legacy of human expositions. In her play American Nigga Zoo, writer and performance artist Misty Sol reimagines Benga and Baartman as mother and child, placing them

Mountains

Brendon Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp (a Philly resident since January) have been creating music as Mountains since the mid-2000s—their first two albums out on the Apestaartje label they founded while studying at the Art Institute of Chicago, their last two released by Thrill Jockey. The duo build floating, mostly improvised soundscapes using processed acoustic instruments, analog electronics, and synthesizers. Haunting and mesmerizing, the emphasis is on exploring the gradual, detailed processes of developing architectural structures with sound. This opening set will feature the two investigating new sonic possibilities for their upcoming album. Elliott Sharp 8pm. $10. With Balmorhea. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N.

Conversation

Childs first premiered in the late ’70s, its avant-garde minimalism wasn’t exactly praised as innovative genius. Over the years, however, the criticism of Dance has more than softened, and the gossamer exploration of movement has come to be praised as a groundbreaking piece of multimedia art. At this year’s Live Arts Festival, a new crop of dancers move in rhythmic harmony in front of a large-scale projection of the original 1979 cast. In a free pre-show discussion, Childs and Glass will provide insight into their partnership with the late LeWitt and detail how Dance has evolved over the past three decades. alliSon KruMM 6pm discussion, 8pm show. $25.

Thank God

Georgia/South Carolina-based post-hardcore outfit Thank God are a far cry from chillwave progenitors Toro y Moi and Washed Out, the two acts that caused the recent descent of the vulture-like music press upon the region for the first time since Hootie & The Blowfish. Unlike that scene’s chill-behind-a-laptop aesthetic, front-man Henry Thomas—who oftentimes mercilessly skronks on saxophone—is a beast unleashed, circling his perimeter and taunting audiences like a lion riding the first glorious wave of a rabies buzz. Their sound is 100 percent fistthrough-wall rage, but the compositions are demanding, requiring extreme precision to navigate

In Alexis Clements’ one-character play, the audience becomes attendees at a “lecture” on effective communication. Katharine, played by Clements, believes she has the formula to engineer a perfect conversation. Using weirdly elegant diagrams and personal anecdotes, she maps out the inner workings of sample conversations. But as the lecture segues into a fourth-wall-shattering Q&A with the audience, her calculations are put to the ultimate test: live people. Katharine's molecular conversation charts are Beautiful Mind-worthy, but it’s reality that she wants to understand, or perhaps control.Clements will remain in character after the play, where wine and cheese will be served as the dialogue continues.

4.48 Psychosis

FriNGE

laywright Sarah Kane’s cult hit 4.48 Psychosis arrives at the Fringe in a production by Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern.

More a poem than a play in the conventional sense, Psychosis was first staged over a year after Kane killed herself, and was described as a 75-minute suicide note by British critic Michael Billington. There is no plot, just the primal beauty and savage rhythm of Kane’s words. It is an eruption of words and dark humor, intensely painful, visceral and human. With no clearly defined characters or stage directions, productions vary widely. Little Green Pig’s production features two actors playing three characters, plus a percussionist who provides a soundscape using only what the space provides. It’s said that the will to survive is part of human nature. In this tough, unrelenting play, the will to die feels equally instinctual.

If you are looking for something sinister at the Fringe, try Nevermore Theater Project’s wordfor-word adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart. Poe’s story is narrated by a murderer recalling his grisly crime. The production is a match made in heaven on several counts: Director Domenick Scudera says Tell-Tale Heart, written in vivid first person, is tailor-made for a stage monologue; the role would seem to suit Barrymore winner John Zak, one of the area’s most expressive and intense performers; and with its walls of jarred fetuses and shrunken heads, the setting of the Mütter Museum will only add to the sense of dread inspired by this unsettling tale of a

One day in March 1930, a throng of gawkers and proto-paparazzi gathered outside Eastern State Penitentiary to view one of the country’s most notorious cons—but Al Capone had, unbeknownst to the public, checked out the day before. In 2008, jazz pianist and composer Vijay Iyer joined with filmmaker Bill Morrison to score Release, an experimental short created from recently discovered footage of the event. Iyer’s twitchy, unsettling score complements Morrison’s presentation and captures ESP’s reservedly creepy vibe perfectly. Hear Iyer perform solo in the prison’s eight-sided central chamber and play like you’re Capone kicking back to the radio in his notoriously well-appointed cell.

In The Association of Creative Zoology, legends of the Winged Bull of Assyria, the Persian Dragon Azhi Dahaka, the Yali from India and even the jackalope could be real, or so Beauvais Lyons would have you believe. His art display and performance combination—presenting scrupulously drawn lithographs of impossible animal hybrids in a convincing impersonation of an itinerant preacher—is an imaginative take on the controversy about evolution and natural selection, a parody of the “scientific” methods usually used to argue against them.

Marriage Of Figaro: Vegas

The Marriage of Figaro: The Las Vegas Version wants to know if you’ve ever wondered what a Mozart opera would sound like in 1960s Las Vegas.

Up until this point, we hadn’t, actually—but the idea of seeing Mozart’s (arguably) finest, funniest work gilded with the tacky glamour of Vegas by Philadelphia’s newest opera company is enticing enough to take a shot. It all started in 2006 when Temple alum Sydney de Lapeyrouse caught a D.C. production of the (new) libretto by Elizabeth Pringle and Bari Biern with the (original) music of Mozart. Taken, and determined to bring it to the Fringe, she pitched friend and fellow vocalist Katy Gentry on trying it here. This version has many updates (the Count as a sleazy nightclub singer, for example), but keeps the main plot points and the music. Hijinks ensue, identities are mistaken, arias are sung and everybody ends up happy. Tara MurTha 7:30pm. $20. Moonstone Arts Center, 110 S. 13th St. 215.413.1318. moonstoneartscenter.org

Monday’s performance (the first of three) focuses on the work of Cheng Yanqiu, an opera singer who traveled to Europe in the '30s in search of ways to integrate Western music with his own classical training.

Yung has brought contemporary performer Xiangping Xiao along with him, who will make a guest appearance within the performance.

The show will be followed by an interactive discussion with both Yung and Xiao, so be sure to bring any burning questions you have about opera, performance art, gender-bending, or life in general. EMily Crawford 6pm. $25. Suzanne roberts theatre, 480 S. Broad St. 215.413.9006. livearts-fringe.org

If you want to learn about how tough an existence it’s been for the Mississippi indie-rock quintet Colour Revolt—a sorta post-hardcore version of Kings of Leon—since forming in the early ’00s, you can listen to “8 Years,” the opener of their new album The Cradle: “Eight years playing guitars together/ Playing bars, whatever/ Getting lost in bad weather/ Having nearly lost the fun/ ...somewhere, man, in that passenger van, has left you a curse/ Cause one man’s limo is another man’s hearse.” Cue sad trombone. In all fairness, three-fifths of Colour Revolt’s lineup recently turned over and the band’s yet to enjoy that big career breakthrough after nearly a decade of trying. We’d probably whine, too.

Esther’s Cavalcade Of Stars

September 8-14, 2010 • 20

Brooklyn indie-rock quartet Monuments exists today because frontman Gabe Berezin was running 10 minutes late for his temp job on the 97th floor of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. The events of that morning absolutely color the band’s recent self-titled album, yet not in super-overt ways—notions of loss, fear and fate invade the band’s lyrics but extend further as they muse on the human condition. Speaking of muse, Monuments’ ambitious, atmospheric and occasionally clamorous tunes are sometimes reminscent of Muse—as well as that band’s obvious influence, Radiohead—and bits of Jeff Buckley’s melodrama and Built to Spill’s cosmic jams join the party as well. M.a.G.

Featuring a series of dance numbers with varying amounts of cheek, drama and seduction, Esther’s Cavalcade of Stars is the product of a group of Temple-trained dancer/choreographers who have performed with a bunch of local companies, including coEXISTdance, AnneMarie Mulgrew and Dancers Company, Nichole Canuso, Kariamu and the Opera Company of Philadelphia. Here, they present a moderndance showcase in vintage vaudeville format.

From a self-described “unabashedly corny" mid-'80s tribute to the dance interpretation of the death of a drug kingpin to the sexual nature of limbs intertwining to intense emotional frustration, these Stars dance with an undercurrent of witty, silly humor. a.K.

The Don Draper Experiment Wherein the author attempts to come up with a commercial pitch while completely faced.

By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

And now, a toast to Al Swearengen of HBO’s gone-but-not-forgotten Deadwood. You, sir, were one of TV’s best-written drunks this side of The Simpson’s Barney. You were a ribald asshole, a cruel man quick with a clever line or a wonderful turn of phrase. Like that time you called that guy a fuckin’ cocksucker. Or that other time you called that other guy a fuckin’ Asian cocksucker.

You were heartless and ruthless, but most of all, you were always, 100 percent Major League Blotto. A man seldom seen without a stiff drink, you were never sloppy like Calamity Jane, with whom you shared a screen. You never soiled your pants like that guy on Mad Men. Now, of course, the memory of Al Swearengen’s greatness has carted off to that Great Drunk Tank In the Sky. A new drunken wordsmith has replaced him in our collective consciousness: Don Draper.

The two characters share many traits. Both take what they want, when they want it, without regard to how it makes others feel. Both were the heads of their respective businesses.

Swearengen was surrounded by prostitutes in the brothel he owned; Draper by secretaries he treats as his own personal harem. Both were drunks. Difference is, Al Swearengen’s work was the type you could reasonably believe a man could do while completely faced. Namely, he kicked much ass, intimidated with sheer, brute force. Such work might even be easier drunk.

Draper, on the other hand, as an ad man, has to overcome being half in the bag to write creative taglines for clients, to “keep banging [his] head against the wall and then it happens,” as he put it in last week’s episode.

It got me wondering, is it possible to come up with genius ad copy when absolutely hammered?

Years ago I sat down to watch an episode of Deadwood and matched Swearengen drink for drink. Afterward, I’d see if I was able to recite one of Shakespeare’s sonnets, peppered with the word “cocksucker,” which is basically what Deadwood ’s dialogue was.

Could a man drink that much and still stand, much less carry on the business of running a lawless South Dakota town? An hour and eight shots of Bulleit Bourbon later, I decided it wasn’t possible.

But my methodology was flawed. Because Swearengen’s drinking on the show takes place over the course of a day or two, and mine was much more compact. I kept this in mind in the Don Draper Experiment I ran last Wednesday.

The challenge: to drink Scotch for hours on end at the office, and at the end of the day come up with a tagline for a product.

I’ve worked a couple freelance ad campaigns in the past, for an agency in Philly called Big Smack.

On one of them we rebranded the Biography channel into the younger, sleeker Bio. On another, I got nice and cozy with my sensitive side and came up with some copy to help launch OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. Not too long ago, though, I turned down some work on a campaign for the Food Network’s new Cooking Channel, their much more instruction-based block of shows, because I was too busy with other things.

(Something I contend is actually possible.

My wife disagrees.)

So for this experiment I would come up with a tagline or four for the Cooking Channel job I wasn't able to take on then. This column in no way is an attempt to let them know I’m not too busy now, and available for work. (Except it totally is. Hi, guys!)

I bought a bottle of Glenlivet, and started drinking at noon. I didn’t stop for some six hours, sipping throughout the day. By 3 p.m. I was tipsy. By 4 p.m., I felt inspiration on the horizon. By 5, I took a turn for the worse. What little I had was garbage, and my face was a bit numb. I was struggling with words. But at 6, after banging my head against the wall, I broke through my cloud of drunkenness, and came up with a real winner.

Food Network presents Cooking Channel: Because we’re so goddamn sorry about that whole Guy Fieri thing.

Conclusion: Boom! Totally possible. n

Between Trains

Gas & Electric Arts’ world-premiere production of the “musical travelogue” Between Trains (at the Philly Fringe through Sept. 19) continues the company’s trend of presenting intriguing but utterly confounding theater.Inspired by the Buddhist ideas of the “bodhisattva” (according to the program notes, that’s a being that allows us to break our cycle of suffering brought on by negative emotions) and the six realms of existence, Juanita Rockwell’s play is a head-scratching journey into a twilight zone of train tracks and travel.

Director Lisa Jo Epstein stages the play’s action in and around the audience, who sit on benches scattered about the large, open space as if they’re waiting for a train themselves. Luggage is piled in the corners and train schedules paper the walls. Suddenly, a naked woman named Wendell (the appealing Mary Tuomanen) pops out of a suitcase, and our journey begins.

touching version of “Bridge over Troubled Water”). Beamer and Davis are never identified as a gay couple, but the pair is so charming, their banter so natural and their affection for each other so genuine that they seem romantically linked.

NASA scientists Dr. Carl (Andrew Farmer) and Dr. Annie (Nicole Weiss) are the play’s second duo. They’re a classically mismatched pair, a general guarantee that they’ll eventually find happiness together.

The scientists aren’t as appealing as Beamer and Davis (few stage couples are), but their bumbling pursuit of romantic bliss holds our interest.

But the same can’t be said about the play’s third couple, a courageous pilot and his bland wife so formulaic and dully written that they barely register as human.

The production, which includes a competent two-member “space orchestra,” has its flaws—the use of LCD screens is more distracting than useful—but Reuben has a good ear for dialogue, and effectively communicates that intimacy is possible even in the vastness of space.

Pig Iron Theatre Company’s Cankerblossom (at the Live Arts Festival through Sept. 18) stands out as one of the most imaginative productions in the history of the festival. An ingenious, all-ages romp through a fantastical world, Cankerblossom (the title refers to a plant that supposedly sucks up all the world’s doubts) follows a three-dimensional (“round,” in the play’s terminology) couple who adopts a flat, cardboard baby that arrives at their door by parcel post. The couple isn’t sure what to do with the changeling, but just as they are getting attached, their paper-thin bundle of joy disappears. A mysterious message leads the couple to “the in-between,” a sort of no-man’s land between the second and third dimensions. To retrieve their baby, the couple must avoid the evil Mr. Eye (an amazing creature with an eye where his head should be) and make their way to the two-dimensional world of “the flats.”

Now, Dan Rothenberg’s direction is wonderful, the text (attributed to Tim Sawicki and Pig Iron) is involving, Rosie Langabeer’s silly, infectious music lends to the 2D, cartoony feel and the fourperson cast is engaging. But the real stars of Cankerblossom are Beth Nixon and her cardboard creations. The land of the flats is filled with Nixon’s wondrous characters: a falcon that flies out of a painting, a helpful underwater knight (whose armor is, no doubt, slightly rusty), a magical smelly flower, a singing turtle, a hang-gliding mouse-smuggler. Nixon, scenic designer Mimi Lien and costume designer Leslie Rogers have done incredible work, creating an entire world out of plain brown pulp.

Luna Theater opens its season at with a disappointing production of Will Eno’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival hit Thom Pain (based on nothing) (at the Philly Fringe through Sept. 19). Thom Pain consists of a performer, Thom Pain (played by the usually excellent Christopher M. Bohan), standing behind a microphone and berating us for 70 minutes.

In another production, Thom Pain could be seen as a parody of creative indulgence, or a portrait of a man desperate for a connection with anyone or anything. Unfortunately, under Greg Campbell’s direction, it’s neither funny nor profound—just dull and irritating. The show’s been described as “existential stand-up,” but offers neither laughs nor insight. Eno is clearly not without talent, but he and his ranting protagonist seem to be shooting for shocking and provocative, but mostly just end up straining the audience’s patience with truly insufferable AIDS jokes and a story (and I use that term loosely) about a bedwetter and an electrocuted dog.

For this risky production to work, there has to be something, however miniscule, that is appealing or sympathetic about the protagonist; in Bohan’s performance, Pain emerges as one of the most annoying characters you’ll ever encounter. Luna is one of the city’s most consistently engaging companies, which makes this simplistic exercise in verbal masturbation all the more exasperating.

Stage Stage, from page 21 her reality—at the moment, a train station occupied by a hodgepodge of people. The first traveler she meets is a nice enough man (Davon Williams) who insists he’s a dog, although he might just be saying that to secure the Milk Bone that Wendell discovered in the pocket of a coat she found. Their conversation doesn’t reveal much (pretty standard for the production) but Wendell is a resourceful woman so she does what any amnesiac in a train station would do—she sings a song. Tuomanen has a wonderfully natural voice, and while the song’s meaning is obscure, Chas Marsh’s music (which is reminiscent of early R.E.M. and requires little in the way of accompaniment) is earthy and appealing.

Epstein’s production has a striking physicality to it (actor Nick Troy channels Spider-man with an impressive display of wallwalking); there’s a constant sense of movement as characters travel through the space that’s both innovatively choreographed and well-executed by the five-member cast. Yet while the stylish physicality of the production keeps us interested the play lacks clarity and what Rockwell is trying to communicate remains uncertain at best.

Two very different theater companies merge their talents in the wildly theatrical Freedom Club (at the Live Arts Festival through Sept. 11).

Created by the visually outlandish and intensely physical New Paradise Laboratories and the minimalist, text-driven Riot Group, Freedom Club comprises two separate but Natty Assassin: Adriano Shaplin and Jeb connected parts. Kreager, as natty assassin John Wilkes Booth, in The first is set in the 1865-set first half of Freedom Club.

1865, the notables are here in this unique view of history dominated by sex and politics: President Lincoln (the marvelous Drew Friedman), his wife Mary Todd (Stephanie Viola) and assassin/actor John Wilkes Booth (Jeb Kreager, in a flamboyant performance).

Marvelously theatrical and classic New Paradise, “Part I” is a visual feast of magnificently lit tableaus (courtesy of designer Maria Shaplin), including a final haunting image of the moment of Lincoln’s death.

The second half, by contrast, is in the minimalist vein of Riot Group, with little movement or visual flair in the second part.

Set in 2015 (three years after the assassination of Obama, a character tells us), “Part II” switches the focus to a left-wing militia group; the actors stand in line like soldiers awaiting inspection, only stepping out of formation to address the audience.

What ties the two disparate parts together is not just the theme of revolutionary violence, but the style of acting—a blend of the “grand style” of the 19th-century romantics (noted for emotional outbursts) with a rather formal declamatory style in which the actors address their lines to the audience rather than the other characters. Two tales of revolution from two terrific theater companies, Freedom Club is a must-see. n

Major Drums: The 12-piece marching band Asphalt Orchestra will play at the Philadelphia Bang on a Can marathon.

22

On Sept. 12, in the midst of the hyperspeed pace of modern life, Bang on a Can (BOAC) asks Philadelphia for the first time to join them for 10 hours of a broad range of live music, including pieces by Steve Reich, Björk, Charles Mingus, Thurston Moore, Frank Zappa, Matmos and a wide selection of composers of new music, at the Philly Fringe.

Ten hours is child’s play compared to past BOAC marathons in their home city of New York; a recent one went for 27. Performances of this magnitude are a deliberate challenge for modern audiences, given our in-flux expectations about the way music should be experienced. The quick, mobile fix of the mp3 and three-minute pop single are compatible with the grueling demands of modern life in a way that live music is not. The isolated, individual pleasure of the iPod is increasingly supplanting the much older goal of live music—an ecstatic, communal experience, one that BOAC hopes to generate and examine this weekend.

Since its 1987 founding by New York-based composers and musicians Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, BOAC brought diverse arrays of contemporary composers and performers together under one roof to challenge and welcome audiences, in hopes of forming a community around new and innovative musics that would otherwise be banished to their own corners of the genre-schoolyard, mostly unheard.

“We want to develop a community of listeners,” says co-founder Julia Wolfe, whose work will be performed by the Signal Ensemble. “When we started, there wasn’t really a strong audience for new music—it was very limited. We wanted to crack that open, give a sense of how large and varied the music world of new ideas can be.”

Despite the obvious challenges, BOAC’s goal of presenting unfamiliar new-music performances of unconventional length has been, largely, a success.

“They have created a social space that is less intimidating and paternalistic than the traditional orchestra

or concert hall,” says Adam Sliwinski, of Brooklynbased quartet So Percussion, the group that will sound the spare first notes of the Philly marathon with “Drumming Part 1” by Pulitzer-winning minimalist innovator Steve Reich. “The marathon functions differently, as a smorgasbord of what’s going on right now in the experimental, classical and indie scenes.”

It’s this diversity that makes BOAC such a singular experience. The Philadelphia marathon will include pieces by a broad range of composers, like jazz luminary Charles Mingus, Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, Björk, and Frank Zappa. Sliwinski’s So Percussion, for instance, will perform works by Radiohead-sampled computer-music composer Paul Lansky and an original, collaborative piece with electronic duo Matmos in addition to the Reich.

Among the other 17 groups and various artist configurations performing these category-shattering pieces are free-jazz heroes the Sun Ra Arkestra, spazzed-out experimentalists Normal Love, 12-piece marching band the Asphalt Orchestra, the BOAC All-Stars (an ensemble hand-selected by the organization’s founders) and jazz pianist Uri Caine’s trio with trumpeter Ralph Alessi and percussionist Jim Black. With this bold spectrum of unique artistic voices, audiences can expect a truly remarkable sonic encounter that delights as much as it confronts contemporary modes of experiencing music.

“We want the audience to have a kind of sacred experience,” proclaims Wolfe. “Time and duration contribute to really stepping outside the norm, which is rushed and hectic and full of business.”

For 10 hours, BOAC will challenge the hurried pace and soundtrack of our lives and provide a glimpse at a community founded on the power of music. What we do after that is, as always, up to us. n 2pm-midnight. $25. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. worldcafelive.com

Thanks for the Memories, Frank Retired Tyler School of Art professor gets the ultimate tribute from generations of students.

By Roberta Fallon

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Thanks.Frank, an outpouring of love for retired Tyler painting prof Frank Bramblett, honors a beloved educator and raconteur known for his wit, compassion and deep thinking about art, culture and society. (Full disclosure: In 2006, I cotaught one semester of senior painting studio with Bramblett and Libby Rosof.) Tyler alums put out the call, and works poured in from all over the country, 35 in all, including paintings, sculpture and works on paper from local artists like Anthony Campuzano, Thomas Vance, Austin Lee and Rebecca Saylor Sack and out-of-towners Kelly McRaven (New York) and Trenton Doyle Hancock (Texas), to name a few.

The works are whimsical, witty, heartfelt and colorful, and many riff on Bramblett’s penchant for baseball hats, dark clothing, horn-rimmed glasses and pithy Zen-like commentary on art, social issues and his childhood in tiny Wedowee, Ala. Over the last 38 years, Bramblett taught a lot of painting students to think. Delivered deadpan, in an Alabama country drawl softened by years of living in the north, Bramblett’s critiques were deep, almost like having a sit-down with your shrink. And while the focus was on the art, his commentary was invariably elliptical— about art, life and the interweaving of the two. Occasionally, students wouldn’t quite get the gist of what Frank had told

them until years later. Post-epiphany, they would write to tell Frank they finally understood.

Situated in the glorious Elkins Estate, a Versailles-like mansion in Elkins Park that was once the summer retreat of railway magnate William L. Elkins (who else?), this homage to a beloved teacher offers works that range from abstract to cartoony to word pieces riffing on Frank’s volubility. Lauren Whearty’s untitled painting of Frank in a room with a large landscape painting and a dog that’s bigger than Frank, is a comic take on the artist in the studio. Christopher Ulivo’s “Fatty, Frank and Fannie” is a caper painting of what looks to be a highly improbable burglary stakeout. Trenton Doyle Hancock’s cut-

paper “TO BE FRANK” teases language—a reminder of how, er, frank Frank could be.

Katrina Mortorff’s “Phranks,” a sequinencrusted baseball hat with the letter F emblazoned on the front, is—like many of the works in the show—both homage and quip. Not only does the work refer to the artist’s penchant for hats, it frankly nails the man himself as an icon. And, it refers to the larger world we all live in, where Phillies fever and NASCAR fever can reside in the same person who can talk a blue streak about Damien Hirst’s diamond-encrusted skull.

The show is installed in the balcony overlooking the grand entryway to the Elkins Mansion. Viewing the contemporary works between gawking at the caryatids,

crystal chandeliers and celestial ceiling painting is a head-spinning experience, asking you to remember the past of unbelievable grandeur and the today of lives lived and touched by a respected teacher.

Bramblett, a painter of juicy cosmic abstracts (for which he won a Pew Fellowship in 2000), says he’s happy to be back in the studio, working on his own things.

Few teachers have poured more of themselves into their students than Frank. He already misses the students. But it’s great that after all this time, he gets to practice what he preaches. Happy retirement, Frank. n Through Sept. 21. The Elkins Estate, 1750 Ashbourne Rd. 570.906.0766. elkinsestate.org.

Tobacco’s Tom Fec turns gutter-culture gems from yesteryear into beautiful noise.

remember. And now that I’m older,” he laughs, “my parents can’t take that stuff away from me anymore.”

In Tobacco’s blasted, gross music, you can hear the sideways, smirking qualities of his childhood musical heroes the Beastie Boys and the Butthole Surfers, mauling the already-antiquated futurist sounds of Fec’s vintage synth gear, and the combination certainly struck a chord with plenty of people. Diplo called Fucked Up Friends one of his favorite records of 2008.

Everybody from Jamie Lidell to Beck dug it, too, Beck so much so that he guested on two tracks for Fucked Up Friends ’ follow-

up, Maniac Meat.

For so many other musicians, getting the chance to work with Beck would have meant dropping everything and going anywhere. It could have been an opportunity to make any number of songs in any number of styles. But both tracks, “Grape Aerosmith” and “Fresh Hex,” were the result of a business-like email exchange, a sanitized transmission of instrumentals and vocals. And not because Beck was too busy, either. That’s how Fec wanted it.

“I’m sure he’s an awesome guy,” Fec says. “If you’re going to put your ass on the line by being on a record like mine, I’m sure he’s a great guy.” But, says Fec, “As much as I look up to him, I think it’s great that we weren’t in the same room. On one hand, it’s really awesome to be able to get to work with some people, but on the other hand you’re pulling away the curtain.”

To Fec, the private, personal wonder he feels while listening to his favorite records rarely measures up to what’s hiding on the other side of said curtain. “Getting the Internet and everything,” he explains, “without even trying, I’ll wind up on a website with a story about the Beastie Boys from the time when I really loved them, and then I’ll go, ‘Awww man, I didn’t wanna know that!’

Y’know what I mean? It kind of kills the picture that I’d painted.”

That may explain why Fec tries to keep as much of Tobacco a secret as possible, why he performs wearing a bizarre gnome mask, and why he wryly refused to offer proof that he won’t pull an MF Doom and send some lackey to perform in his stead at the First Unitarian Church this Friday.

After all, when it comes to things like trash TV and offbeat musical superheroes, it’s more fun if you don’t know the whole concept. n

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

Disco and R&B super producer Nile Rodgers says that bands start with concepts.

In the case of his era-defining group Chic, it was all about celebrating glamour when most of his brethren were embracing the guts of funk and the wank of ’70s rock.

For the Beastie Boys—back when they were still lurking on the fringes of downtown New York’s art and punk scene—the point was “to walk around annoying people.”

And for Tobacco, the latest project by Black Moth Super Rainbow founder Tom Fec, it was based on a DVD crammed full of trash TV. The DVD in question, which was pressed into Fec’s hands after a BMSR show in Rochester, N.Y., a few years ago, was made by a shadowy character who calls himself Beta Carnage.

And its combination of low-rent wrestling, weird workout routines, even weirder porn (like someone-in-an-E.T.-costumeis-getting-nailed weirder), and generally grainy betamax-level quality had Fec hooked on his first viewing.

“I really like the way certain things, when I was growing up, represented one thing, and now we can take that stuff and put kind of a new flavor on it, and it becomes something else,” Fec says. “All the stuff that was looked at as gross shit is art to a lot of people.”

Fec, who kept in touch with Beta Carnage, asked if he could What the Fec?

Q&A With Dirty Projectors’ Singer/Guitarist Dave Longstreth

By Michael Alan Goldberg

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

rooklyn indie-rock sextet Dirty Projectors, B led by singer/guitarist Dave Longstreth’s eclectic, knotty songwriting—noisy skronk, skewed folk, straight-up pop/R&B, and proggy pseudo-funk sometimes occur all in the same tune—and the band’s absolutely heavenly three-part female vocal harmonies come to town in support of both this year’s Mount Wittenberg Orca EP (their collaboration with Björk) and last year’s critically acclaimed LP Bitte Orca. We caught up with Longstreth for a quick chat.

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

What’s the set list gonna entail at this show? Any new material?

It’s gonna be a lot of Wittenberg stuff, Bitte stuff ... we’ve spent the last several months playing festivals so we’re super psyched to have it be our own kind of night, give it a real arc and try to tie the Wittenberg and the Bitte together. I’m psyched to rearrange some of the songs live, in the moment.

September 8-14, 2010

That can be scary —how do you develop the confidence to take songs to different places without it becoming a total trainwreck?

[Laughs] Sometimes it is a trainwreck!

But we all have a lot of confidence in each other and we can read each other pretty well. That comes out of playing with each other all the time for years at this point.

• 26

How early on any given night do you know if you’re totally locked in as a band or do you have to work to get to that place?

It’s obvious pretty immediately if it’s not quite right, and you definitely have to work for it. Sometimes we’ll get up there and I’ll feel a little surly for whatever reason, and [guitarist/vocalist] Amber [Coffman] will

catch it immediately and she’ll look in my eyes and acknowledge that she sees how I’m feeling and that makes me feel like, “OK, it’s all cool now” and we’ll get in the zone. We’re all pretty tight like that.

When you were younger and first getting into music, did you think that bands were all best buddies and lived in a big house together and did everything together all the time?

Totally!

At what point did you realize it’s not really like that?

I dunno, I still kinda think that! [laughs] You kinda have to ... like last night we were all at this show at Death By Audio in Brooklyn and we were all hanging out, and then we went to this party and we basically hung out together all night, the whole band. So I dunno, it’s sort of this extended sleepover party, being in a band. Yes, you have to have separate identities and you need your own time to process your own shit on your own level or whatever, and tour is super intense, but you have to be down for the sleepover. All the bands that I love I think there’s this larger ... it sounds cheesy but there is something about brotherhood.

A lot of people talk about how unique Dirty Projectors is in terms of the songwriting and the somewhat complicated song structures and all of that.

Has doing things in a different way than much of what’s out there been a natural process for you, or have you challenged yourself to do things that you weren’t sure you were capable of?

I think I’ve challenged myself a lot. I mean,

even now that’s a big part of whether it keeps on being interesting to me. At the start, I want it to be impossible for me and everybody else in the band. Right now, starting to write new songs for another album, I just wanna do something that I can’t even imagine [laughs]. Something that would be impossible but also inevitable for me.

sons are back with some re-worked songs (the Lovemongers’ “Sand”), some new originals, some live favorites and a tour.

FRee ASSociAtion: You know you can’t hate on “Magic Man,” right? Not allowed.

FoR FAnS oF: Runaways, Thin Lizzy, Bad Company, Fleetwood Mac, stayin’ righteous.

CRITIC'S PICK

Little Brother

So many people want to be in a band or make music for a living but they never actually do it—how did you make that leap from wanting to do it to actually doing it?

I dunno. I know a lot of people for whom it takes a lot of courage to think about expressing yourself and forming some sort of honest encapsulation of your set of feelings about the world or whatever.

But for me it was never like that. I always just wrote songs, like, picking up the bass for the first time and my brother taught me Nirvana’s “Come As You Are” riff and I just made up some riff that was kinda like “Come As You Are” and I was like, “That’s a song.” Whenever I picked up the instrument I’d make a little thing like that. So for me it was always just what you do. I guess I didn’t think about it as an expression of self or something that was built upon confidence or expertise or anything like that. I just thought of it as fun. I guess I skirted the whole dilemma that a lot of people have. It’s not like I conquered it or anything. I just skirted it. n

I t’s not a big secret that this is going to be North Carolina hip-hop group Little Brother’s last hurrah. What was once the proud trio of MCs Phonte Coleman & Rapper Big Pooh and DJ/producer 9th Wonder soon dwindled to just Coleman and Pooh when Wonder started branching out, working with other performers (Jay-Z and Destiny’s Child, among others) and contributing less time to the group. Couple that with Coleman now devoting his energy to his R&B side project, the Grammy-nominated outfit the Foreign Exchange, and it’s safe to say that these cats will soon be a distant memory. Thankfully, with all the clever, funky, refreshing hip-hop these men dropped this past decade, Little Brother will always be a memory worth going back to. (Craig D. Lindsey) n

Original menu features up-to-date Japanese and Korean favorites.

Jala back: Stuffed jalapeño tempura is a cream-cheese success story.

tuna wasn’t the star of this show, but it didn’t have to be: It was a bit player, albeit a confident one.

Maki omakase has to be one of the best Japanese deals in the city: The six rice-and-nori rolls, topped with a stunningly generous and well-conceived portion of fish, are a steal at $16. The uni was another highlight, its sweet, livery flavor and velvet texture awakened by the occasional flash of black tobiko popping between the teeth. Snapper was allowed to shine on its own and barely needed the quasi-requisite drag through soy sauce, and seared salmon, curled in on itself like a sleeping infant, benefited immensely from its quick brush with fire.

Panko-fried-oyster steamed buns sang with the briny, earthy funk of the shore

on a hot day, but their braised pork belly counterpart was a letdown, the meat’s pale appearance an apt metaphor for its taste.

Mochi-encased strawberries were also disappointing; their bean-paste costume was homemade and excellent, but brought little to the strawberries or chocolate dipping sauce and came off as gimmicky.

Banana tempura, however, is worth the few hundred extra calories. The melted fruit is encased in a protective, crunchy layer of deep-fried, arteryclogging happiness and accompanied by a serviceable green-tea ice cream that, I was told, may soon be replaced by a house-made version.

The fact that Doma is still tweaking its technique this far into its tenure on the 1800 block of Callowhill is a heartening sign. These days, a busy restaurant may be tempted to avoid changing anything for fear of losing a fickle customer base.

But this is not your standard Japanese/Korean restaurant; the range of thoughtful dishes and energy in the dining room imply a well-deserved long life ahead. n

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

The menu features dishes both Japanese and Korean, and while it seems to do best with the latter, the former acquit themselves well, too. And while manager Dan Kwon says that Doma is a Japanese restaurant with some Korean dishes, he concedes that the M.O. is “all about being modern,” and taking “traditional Korean items and bringing them up to the times,” he told me.

Tuna yook hwe is a useful example, its singular presentation delivers its inherent promise. Thick slices of raw tuna dressed in sweet sesame sauce were arranged to resemble a bird’s nest; this impression was reinforced by the taut quail egg perched on top. Matchsticks of sweet Asian pear and cucumber framed the fish, and a nutty-sweet fried rice cake anchored it all. Every component contributed to the whole and, depending on the combination of components pinched between the chopsticks, the flavors cut a fabulously wide swath.

Kalbi skewer was more straightforward and provided nearly as much pleasure with less challenge. This was just three chunks of beef short rib strung between a trio of scallion heads on a wooden dowel, but the dearth of ingredients allowed each of the flavors to stand out with the darker, charred aroma of the hot grill.

Stuffed jalapeño tempura was a highlight, despite my resistance to the charms of cream cheese-raw fish combos (I’ve never met a Philadelphia roll I’ve particularly enjoyed). Here, though, the cheese was utilized well, draping the tongue in a layer of fat that mitigated the jalapeño’s fire and allowed its sweetsmoky character to come out. Surprisingly, the spicy-mayo-kicked shredded

MICHAEL PERSICO

Some dishes are so regularly done in the same boring, homogenous way that most of us have accepted that this is the way they’re supposed to be. Just look at pad thai, which in America is usually overly sweet and devoid of the telltale tang of tamarind, or hot and sour soup, generally little more than a thickening slick of corn starch. Proper versions (or more interesting renderings) are the outliers, and they often can take a moment to get used to.

I bring this up because Doma’s calamari bibimbap eschews easy flavor shortcuts and sidesteps the problems that tend to plague even the easier chicken and beef versions. Yes, there was a hint of sweetness, but that was more from the caramelization of the rice and marinade against the sides of the sizzling stone bowl. And anyway, that wasn’t the defining characteristic. Rather, it found its footing on the more nuanced side of the spectrum—a sour undertow limning the bitter crunch of thin-sliced napa cabbage, the high-toned perfume of onion, the tingling spice of Korean kochujang paste, the earthy tenderness of perfectly cooked calamari.

I’d ordered it with trepidation, visions of squiddy rubber bands dancing in my hand; I tucked into it with gusto, fears quelled.

Doma opened back in February, and has become a nice magnet for the neighborhood slightly north of the Free Library's central branch. On a recent Thursday night, a constant stream of customers filed in and out, most of them young and roll-off-the-couch casual in shorts and flip-flops or sneakers. The staff, also young, as well as attentive and unselfconsciously cool, completed the picture: This is a restaurant that looks forward in more ways than one.

American Idol

Sullen hitman, played by increasingly talented George Clooney, wants out.

By Sean Burns

sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

Badasses don't check bags: George Clooney's solitary assassin in The American.

restrained. The American calls to mind his heartbroken astronaut in Steven Soderbergh’s underrated Solaris remake. Showing no trace of his gregarious movie-star persona, Clooney is gaunt and haunted.

Often banished to the far corner of the widescreen frame, he methodically scans every surroundings for threats, never at rest. Playing a man with no past and no future, he lives only in the increasingly precarious present. Corbijn’s impeccably controlled filmmaking hammers home the awful loneliness of this condition.

Stubbornly withholding genre satisfactions, The American is more of a vibe than a story. The ache stays with you for days after the credits roll.

Or it could also be because he looks like George Clooney. n

American should be laughable. And yet still, the damn picture casts a spell.

Wearing his influences on his sleeve, former music-video director Corbijn aims for the soul-sick malaise of ’70s European arthouse cinema. There’s a bit of Jean-PierreMelville here, a dash of Wim Wenders’ The American Friend there, and more than a passing nod to Michelangelo Antonioni— particularly The Passenger. Sergio Leone himself gets name-checked by the owner of a cafe in which Clooney sullenly watches Once Upon A Time In The West in what looks like an Edward Hopper painting with an HDTV stuck on the wall.

Synced to a different time signature than other contemporary thrillers, The American is all long silent spells and existential dread. Cinematographer Martin Ruhe paints a lush canvas of verdant riverbanks and dim, foreboding streets at night. The anxious stillness gets under your skin.

George Clooney isn’t just getting more annoyingly handsome as the years go on, the sonofabitch is also becoming a better actor—simultaneously bolder and more

New Releases Machete

C+ Review by Matt Prigge

“Right, I’m a bigot, I know. But for the left,” cracked Woody Allen in Annie Hall. Likewise, Robert Rodriguez’s Machete—which makes good on the non-promises of Grindhouse’s third-best fake trailer—is a big, dumb, questionable vigilante picture, but with a firm anti-anti-immigration stance.

(One teaser even boasted a “special message for Arizona.”) Or is that actually its liability? Being on the correct side of an issue is nice and all, but it cuts down severely on long, rusty blades splitting heads in half like a watermelon.

Rodriguez frontloads the super-gore, particularly in a tease of a killer opening and a hospital escape cribbed from Riki-Oh. As in the trailer, Machete (Danny Trejo) is an ex-Federale badass double-crossed by the men who hired him to snipe an incumbent senator. Unlike in the trailer, the senator is played by Robert De Niro (marginally awake) who wants to erect an electrified border fence.

Also new are the three thousand other elements Rodriguez has crammed in: a turncoat immigrations officer-cum-love interest (Jessica Alba); a taco-truck chick (Michelle Rodriguez) who may or may not be a Che-modeled leader; Lindsay Lohan as a skanky rich girl with a shitty dad; and Machete’s arch-nemesis, a Mexican drug lord played by Steven Seagal, as plump and lifeless as an animatronic Madame Tussaud’s doll operating at half speed. It leaves little room for our knife-wielding vigilante, and sure enough, about halfway through, Machete largely disappears from the movie bearing his name. Perhaps saving him up for the two (two!) promised sequels?

Rodriguez is this generation’s Larry Cohen (It’s Alive, Q )—a cut-rate visionary with terrific ideas but lacking the sense to pass them to someone with more talent and/or money. As usual, he lets his many plots get tied up in knots, finally forming them into a tract on illegal immigration

that’s too blunt, too humorless and only passably nutty. Machete can’t decide if it wants to be Coffy or The Spook Who Sat by the Door (the notorious blaxploitation in which black nationalists successfully take down the Man), and so comes off underbaked.

As it so often is, the trailer is better than the movie.

Bran Nue Dae

D+ Review by Matt Prigge Though it was first performed in 1990, the musical Bran Nue Dae—now a splashy film version and the runt of the current Australian film renaissance—fits right in with today’s disgustingly perky, low-substance song-and-dance movement. No doubt 20 years ago it smacked of Up With People; today it reeks of High School Musical, with high-sugar tunes crooned in the overachieving patois of American Idol. (Female lead Jessica Mauboy was a runner-up on Australian Idol.)

Aboriginal teen Willie (Rocky McKenzie, a total wet blanket) pines sheepdoggily for Mauboy’s aspiring singer, but is quickly carted off to a Perth Catholic Mission lorded over by Father Benedictus (Geoffrey Rush—hammy, but then you knew that).

Willie escapes and begins a spirited, song-

filled road trip up the coast back home.

Wacky friends are made: hobo “Uncle Tadpole” (Ernie Dingo) provides yuks, then tears, as broad humor and moony sentiment are the film’s only two emotions. A pair of hippies provide hippie-related material. Every great now and then we cut to Rush’s priest, pulling an Edward R. Rooney, to remind us this film boasts an overvalued international movie star.

Bran Nue Dae is over in 82 minutes; it only has material for about a third of that.

The numbers are barely choreographed, tricked out more with insistent camera moves than dance moves. What it lacks in content it makes up for, severalfold, in energy, including some seriously loud colors.

(You haven’t seen red brick this red since Do the Right Thing.) But what’s there to be energetic about?

Unlike a lot of Australian cinema concerning its historically fucked-over indigenous population, it takes a broadly entertaining stance, and also a brain-dead one. Set in 1967, racism is mentioned once, then barely mentioned at all, except in a chorus in which “Everyone Wants to Be Aborigine.”

Well, all right, except the film never defines what an Aborigine is, and in fact gets it wrong. Bran Nue Dae offers a fantasy in which Aborigines have conformed to white colonialist society, and all the energy in the world can’t make up for that whitewash. n

Another food question—kind of a subtheme in this week’s column.

Look, ORGASM, the human brain is an inscrutable bag of slop, and you aren’t the only person out there whose brain saddled him with a seemingly random sexual fetish. But you shouldn’t view your fetish—assuming you’re not making this up—as “incapacitating.” You could be into things that were much worse and/or more complicated and/or literally impossible to realize. Nor should you blame yourself for your growing reliance on your kink. As we age (men particularly), we tend to lean more on those things—fantasies, fetishes, scenarios—that help us get there and get off.

So what do you do?

Stop viewing your fetish as some sort of freakish ailment that disqualifies you from love and affection, ORGASM, and start viewing it for what it is: an endearing quirk and not too much to ask from a long-term partner. People in love and people in longterm relationships—two distinct groups with some significant overlap—like to say things like “I would walk through fire for him” or “I would take a bullet for her.” Well, all you’re asking is for a tiny bit of maple syrup dabbed behind the ears before sex. It’s not fire, it’s not a bullet, and it’s not too much to ask.

I

am a heterosexual guy, married. my wife and I have lately been getting really interested in watching porn videos on my iPhone. I’m having a problem, however, finding sites with fresh, free stuff that will actually play streaming on the iPhone. do you, the tech-savvy at-risk youth, or any of your readers have any site recommendations? the more the merrier!

SeNt From tHe SAvAge love APP For IPHoNe

I was under the impression—heard it from Steve Jobs himself—that the iPhone was designed to protect our wives from porn.

And while I’m always coming to the defense of porn, I’m not a big consumer myself. (I only use my iPhone to make calls and play cribbage.) So I’m not aware of any iPhonefriendly straight-porn sites, SFTSLAFI. Readers? Any tips?

And speaking of porn: Sometimes it’s not enough to come to the defense of porn. Sometimes you have to sit down and make some porn yourself. And sometimes your homemade porn can win you large cash prizes. Info and details at humpseattle.com. n

I

’m a single male in my mid-30s who over the years developed an incapacitating fetish. I can only get fully aroused when smelling the odor of maple syrup. When I was younger, it was not a problem getting aroused without it, but as I got older, I took to placing it on napkins and while pleasuring myself would inhale the scent of it. Now I can’t perform without smelling it. I have tried to wean myself to no avail.

What should I do, short of taking all my dates to the house of pancakes and “accidentally” spilling syrup on them? I don’t think it would be fair to require such a thing from anyone and would not expect it to be tolerated in a long-term relationship. Any advice? I feel I have hardwired myself over the years and am helpless.

Calm the fuck down—and no more women’s studies classes for you, OK? I think you’ve had quite enough, and I’m cutting you off.

Look, AIASP, you didn’t assault anyone, you’re not a predator, you shouldn’t have to move out. You made a drunken, ill-advised-inretrospect pass at a roommate. If that makes someone a “sexual predator,” AIASP, then we’d better build walls around our better universities and start calling ’em all penitentiaries.

As for that double standard: In light of your recent experience—you made a drunken pass at someone who wasn’t interested in you—you might want to revisit the assumptions you’ve made about men who make passes, drunken and otherwise, at women who aren’t interested in them. Making a pass is not grounds for eviction or conviction. It’s how a person makes a pass (did you pounce or did you ask?) and how a person reacts if the pass is rebuffed (did you graciously take no for an answer or were you a complete asshole about it?) that matters.

Of course, men’s passes at women—roommates and otherwise—exist in a context of male sexual violence. So it’s understandable that a woman might feel uncomfortable living with a dude who did what you did. But if the dude wasn’t a creep about it and graciously took no for an answer (if the answer was no), perhaps he should be judged as an individual and not as someone who bears collective responsibility for the crimes committed by members of his sex throughout history.

And even if you were an asshole about that no, AIASP, that still wouldn’t make you a sexual predator. You’re only a sexual predator— or guilty of sexual assault—if you refuse to take no for an answer and force yourself on someone. (Or if you go after people who are incapable of granting consent.) You didn’t force yourself on anyone. All you’re guilty of, AIASP, is asking someone whom you wanted to fuck if he wanted to fuck you. It’s a legit question, and no one gets fucked without asking it.

And that simple question doesn’t magically become sexual assault or harassment when the answer is no.

A

few nights ago, I got drunk and knocked on my roommate’s door and confessed my attraction to him while he was lying in bed in nothing more than his Skivvies. And then I asked him if I could sleep in his room because our other roommate was having sex so loudly that I couldn’t sleep. Not being able to sleep on work nights is sometimes a real problem, but one to be addressed with her, not used as drunken fodder to get into someone else’s bed.

I feel pathetic and embarrassed for having thrown myself at my roommate. But much more importantly, I think my behavior did not reflect active consent, trashed my roommate’s boundaries, and was generally creepy—all characteristics of sexual assaulters.

I am female, and if the situation were reversed, I would commit a huge double standard because I would back any woman who did not feel safe continuing to live with a dude who did what I did. I feel like I should be held accountable and move out, though my housemate has told me he doesn’t feel threatened and that I should stay.

Help. I feel like a total piece of shit for having done this and can’t stop wondering …
