Betrayal of Love and Freedom By PAUL HULJICH • book stores

is a half-measure. A criminal record follows all prostitutes, not just those who were forced into it. To help all those who want to get out of it, reformers should be campaigning for total repeal of prostitution laws, not just an exemption for trafficking victims. And I can’t imagine why Murtha even honors the attorneys generals’ grandstanding with the moniker of “liberalism,” knee-jerk or otherwise. It’s really plain, old-fashioned sweepit-under-the-rug moralism. Victorians used trafficking as an excuse to persecute sex workers too—they called it “white slavery”—same as today’s puritans. Nothing even pseudoprogressive about it. ERIC HAMELL

Regarding Tara Murtha’s column about Craigslist shutting down their adult section: This column is marred by muddled thinking. Staying at the Marriott is not “contributing to the economic supply chain that makes money off trafficked victims” because such hotels only offer porn featuring “contract stars” who are paid quite handsomely by big companies like Vivid—not trafficking victims at all. Boycotting Marriott because some fly-by-night producers are using forced labor would be like not patronizing Ten Thousand Villages to protest some big box store’s selling slave-made Persian rugs. Voluntary sex work needn’t be “inconvenient” for anti-trafficking activists, so long as they focus on the actual problem—which is not prostitution but kidnapping and slavery, regardless of what kind of work people are forced into. In this light, the reform Murtha advocates
A conscience? For years, ad revenues have been accepted by your paper and your alt-weekly competitor from the Asian massage parlors, all of which engage in trafficking. That is why I laugh at any article you publish concerning social issues. Take all the ads you want from the transvestites, collegegirls-looking-for-extra-money, etc., they made a conscious decision to do this and I sincerely doubt any are doing it against their will but many are probably in active addiction. At least take a stand on the massage parlors because if you don’t you are complicit in their continued exploitation of women brought to this country under false pretenses. RAY

News & Opinion Rhyme and Reason
CCP prof uses poetry to start dialogue among black, Asian students. By Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com “You dead, Chinese bitch.” If no one was paying attention, they are now. Michelle Myers is standing on stage in Community College of Philadelphia’s Coffee House reading her poem, “Take It Back,” which deals with the violence at South Philadelphia High School last year. About 50 people are in attendance as Myers warms up for Bao Phi, an award-winning spoken-word artist she brought to the school for this very occasion. Myers is half of the Asian-American spoken-word troupe Yellow Rage a fulltime professor at CCP. Since last year’s violence at South Philly High came to light, she’s made it her prerogative to create a dialogue among the city’s youth. “There are a number of us who saw [last year’s violence] coming,” she says on campus, the day after her and Phi’s performance for Myers’ Writing OutLOUD spoken word series at the community college. “Back in September 2009 I was putting out emails, trying to

connect with as many people as I could, saying I wanted to come in and connect with the youth.” But Myers couldn’t get a single response. She even told school leaders the city over, “I will come to you, I don’t want to get paid, I don’t want nothing, I just want to talk to the kids.” Once the South Philly assaults made headlines, she says, her email began “blowing up” with requests for visits. Myers partially credits PW’s Sept. 1, 2009, cover story, “Asian Students Under Assault,” for her own and others’ recognition of something deeply wrong between Asian-American and AfricanAmerican students in the Philadelphia School District. “I didn’t want to complain about it—I was happy they were now contacting me,” she says, “but why did they have to wait until that point?” Myers believed one of the key elements in helping to ease racial tensions was a dialogue involving both groups of students and community leaders. She recalls getting emails from Asian-Americans across the country as the violence made national headlines. “It would be all this language of people wanting to retaliate and even, in some of the articles that were covering it, I would see AsianAmericans saying horrible things about black people. They would say things like, ‘They need to go back to the jungle, they need to do this and that,’ and I thought, ‘This is not constructive, this is not productive, this is only going to make matters worse.’ And I thought, for Point taken: Michele Myers gives the finger to school violence. me what’s important is not end of the last school year. only to have a presence in the when she’d begin working primarily She shows a copy of “Writing On with Asian-American students instead.

News & Opinion Word on the Street
PW catches up with the former mayor and director of the PHA. By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com Remember John Street? The former mayor is back in the news, thanks to the swift and sensational downfall of Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) Executive Director Carl Greene. Over the last month, a revelation about Greene defaulting on his mortgage payments led to a spiral of allegations of sexual harassments cover-ups hidden from the PHA board as well as sketchy payments to Greene-led non-profits. The board quickly moved to suspend Greene, plus all contracts with outside vendors for fear of impropriety. Greene fired back with a lawsuit against the board, saying it ruined his reputation. Most bizarrely of all, reports surfaced that last year Greene had investigated Street staffer Kafi Lindsay under suspicion that she wasn’t coming into work. Greene isn’t talking and has gone into hiding, supposedly receiving medical treatment for stress at a Maryland clinic. That’s where Street comes in—as chairman of the PHA board, he has taken the bulk of media inquiries, roasting Greene in the press, and taking some shots at Mayor Nutter to boot. Simultaneously, word leaked out that Street has been consulting about possible mayoral runs by former contenders Sam Katz and Tom Knox. What gives? PW sat down with the former mayor to hear more about what’s on his mind.
Since you’ve canceled PHA’s outside contracts and the executive director has been suspended, how does this affect the way the agency is functioning right now? The agency is
None. His lawyer keeps buzzing around though.
Has there been any response by the board to the lawsuit Mr. Greene filed? Not yet. We will probably engage a lawyer for that.
that to be interesting. Carl Greene’s been here 13 years. No one criticized the board while he was building 6,000 houses. In fact no one criticized the structure of this board until just recently when it was found that he wasn’t paying his bills, apparently, and he had these sexual harassment complaints. But sexual harassment complaints have nothing to do with the governing structure of the board. In fact we think we can prove that he violated on numerous occasions board regulations by failing to bring those sexual harassment complaints to the board.
Isn’t the bottom line that the board is responsible for accountability and oversight? That’s true. But if somebody
embezzles money, I don’t know that you can always put in enough regulations to stop them. Here’s a person who knew that that stuff is supposed to come to the board, it’s as clear as glass, and didn’t do it. In fact he manipulated all the contracts and stuff so as to avoid bringing it to the board. I don’t know if that’s a governance problem. It’s an integrity problem on the part of the executive director but I don’t know if it’s a governance problem. This newfound attention to the governance is the kind of thing you can expect, but it’s a form of Monday morning quarterbacking, you know, they say hindsight is 20/20. You can always look back and say maybe you should have had another regulation. Well, we had a regulation. He lied about it. What else do you expect us to do?
Was there any sense that accountability was lax because Greene was seen as so effective at his job? Sure. I
think people had a tendency to give him the benefit of the doubt, and didn’t want to do anything to muck up the process. People were encouraged by the productivity. I was. I loved every minute of it.
Is there any chance at all Carl Greene could continue as executive director?
have to call him. It’s not my job to go chasing after him. He’s entitled to talk to who he wants to talk to. He doesn’t have to talk to me. I didn’t expect him to be calling me up and he didn’t. I wasn’t surprised.
Are things are as bad between you and Mayor Nutter as we like to report in the press? Do you ever speak to the mayor personally? I don’t talk to him.
He doesn’t call me. My problems with Mayor Nutter have nothing to do with anything personal. When Nutter got elected I didn’t say one word about anything he did for over two years. I thought he really did deserve an opportunity to win over everybody in this city, even my supporters. But I don’t have to be silent forever.
What are your specific problems? I
think he has problems budgeting. Some people are concerned that there is no economic development strategy. People complain bitterly that there doesn’t seem to be any real approach to dealing with the city’s challenges. He’s had two tax increases, both of which are temporary, when that money goes away what happens then? We don’t have any labor contracts; there’s a sense of the city just sort of floating around. Other cities cut city services, a whole bunch of things. We don’t seem to have come to grips with any of it on a permanent basis. The only reason people are talking about me is because I had a conversation with Sam Katz and a couple of potential candidates and they asked me what I thought and I told them.
Did they come to you or did you reach out to them? It was about halfway,
mutual. I’ve known Katz for a long time, and I invited him up to Temple to be a part of a program we had, we did a

The board has a right to make a judgment on that. As you know it would be very difficult but in the end it’s a board decision.

functioning. I met with the three deputy directors, each of which is responsible for a certain set of activities. I have been absolutely assured by them individually and collectively that everything PHA is committed to do will continue on schedule. Every significant professional, whether a lawyer or a consultant, that’s needed to do the work has been approved. There are some we thought were a little superfluous and not necessarily needed at this time; those people have not necessarily been activated.

forum on the future of the Republican Party in the city. I invited him up to be a guest, he came, we were talking politics. Nutter’s name came up and one thing led to another; he was testing the waters. He met with a whole bunch of people. It’s political season. You know how it is.
spoken-word summit in Seattle. He says while he hasn’t seen the Philadelphia violence firsthand, he’s witnessed similar troubles in other communities. Both poets agree that spokenword poetry can result in empowerment and community dialogue. The power of spoken word lies in its sense of immediacy, they say, as well as the up-front nature of the performers. “The stuff that the Philly students are going through, unfortunately, is not new,” Phi says. “It happened to me, it’s happening in Minneapolis/St. Paul right now [Phi says the violence in the Midwest often results among SomaliAmerican and Native American students, or African-American and African students] and I’m thankful Michelle is actually here and doing something about it. The power of spoken word and arts programs is such that you don’t have to feel alone anymore.” When Myers met with the students who’d been assaulted at South Philly High last year, she recalls they were too enthralled with her performance to speak about the violence. “They wanted to talk about the feeling,” she says. “They wanted to ask me how I was able to express that feeling within performance. They could see the emotion and that’s what they connected to.” Though both artists admit it’s not all Kumbayah. They lay the blame for such cultural violence
We know about Sam Katz and Tom Knox, who else is looking to run? I don’t really know. I know those two guys are. I didn’t
think either one of them would be looking to run if they didn’t think there was serious concern in the city about the mayor’s leadership. I can tell you that in the African-American community there’s wide-spread discontent with the mayor. Wide-spread discontent. From the faith community to the neighborhoods, advocates, so many of them have a problem. But, I have never promised to endorse or raise money for anybody. I do think that this city could use a serious debate about its future. If you don’t have a primary, you don’t have a debate because Republicans basically haven’t put up any fight against Nutter. I don’t know if it makes any sense for us to go into the years between now and 2015 without having a serious political debate. Nutter needs to defend his record. That’s how you select winners to campaigns. If you’re an incumbent, you defend your record and you tell people where you’re taking the city.
Any chance there’s going to be a John Street for mayor campaign? Not a chance. Do you mind if I take a picture? Yes, I do. When I’m gonna be photographed, I want people to say we’d like to take a picture. Sorry. I could have said I want to dress differently. Maybe I don’t wear a yellow shirt and floral tie. This doesn’t photograph well. Maybe I wear a white shirt and a red tie. Suppose I had come Phil Weekly_Sept22:10x5.375 9/15/10 10:03 AM Page 1 over here in sweatpants? n
in several sociological issues that can’t be taken back, including the American media’s portrayal of Asian-Americans as the ‘model minority.’ If that’s the case, Phi and Myers agree, then what are African-Americans to believe of themselves? That they’re the rejected minority of the United States? Therefore, Myers often attempts to put cultural similarities in her poetry and performances, evidenced in “Take It Back”: “We go back to aching bodies laboring under the weight of trains tracking both transcontinental and underground routes, our dreams riding on elusive promises of freedom. We go back to exhausted bodies bending over a stretch of earth on plantations in Hawaii, the West Coast, and the South, our fingers caressing dormant seeds filled with hope…It’s time to realize that just because we don’t know each other’s struggles doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It’s time to stop loading our words to win some sort of oppression Olympics, to insist that we are the most victimized.” Myers will continue her work throughout the year with her Writing OutLOUD poetry series at CCP, with a November 4 performance featuring Philly poet Denice Frohman and is working to continue workshops at schools throughout the area. “I feel fortunate to be part of a community,” she says, “where people care enough about these things to devote their time and share their work and make a positive difference.” n

Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey has a friend in Jim DeMint, the Tea Party darling and right-wing senator from South Carolina. Toomey, who faces Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) in November’s Senate race, is one of 10 politically orthodox GOP hopefuls receiving millions from DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund. And since DeMint’s opponent this November is Alvin Greene—a mysterious unemployed dude who does not own a cell phone or computer and faces obscenity charges for showing pornography to a teenager—DeMint is likely to spend much of his own $3.7 million war chest elsewhere. Like here in Pennsylvania. According to the Fund’s website, it has already spent $201,000 on Toomey— either in direct donations or on advocacy on his behalf—and hopes to give double that before Election Day. Toomey has tapped his substantial war chest to unleash a barrage of advertisements attacking Sestak. “Congressman Toomey has a long and consistent record of aligning himself with the most extreme elements of his party,” says Sestak spokesperson Jonathon Dworkin. “It’s no surprise that another far-right Washington interest group would choose to pour money into Toomey’s campaign. But all the attack ads money can buy won’t be able to hide his extreme record from ordinary Pennsylvanians. They want practical solutions, not smear campaigns.” Toomey’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. Even fellow Republicans think DeMint, a man driven to cleanse the party of moderates, is extreme. The first-term senator and author of “Saving Freedom: We Can Stop the America’s Slide into Socialism” has annoyed many of his colleagues, upending Senate protocol by backing primary candidates not endorsed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee and refusing to endorse Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Bob Bennett (R-Nev.) and then-Republican Arlen Specter, who faced a tough primary challenge from the right. DeMint told Specter he would be supporting Toomey on April 23. Specter announced he would be leaving the party just five days later. DeMint is fielding a ballot-box militia to take over the government, and faults most everyone for insufficient conser-
vatism. The Fund, as it turns out, rates sitting senators on their rightwing political orthodoxy: DeMint is the only one that earns a perfect 100 percent. “The greatest enemies to the Constitution today are domestic,” says DeMint, according to McClatchy. “And most of them are in the United States Congress or in the White House now.” But DeMint may be the greatest enemy to his party. If these right-wing candidates sweep the GOP primaries only to lose to Democrats in November, there could be a backlash against the far right. Last week’s Tea Party victory in Delaware has Democrats giddy. DeMint endorsed winning candidate and Christine O’Donnell—previously best known as a campaigner against masturbation and leader of the Savior’s Alliance for Lifting the Truth (SALT)—days before the election. True, Toomey does not have quite the same propensity for wackjob commentary, though he did lead the Club for Growth, a far-right organization with its own track record of opposing moderate so-called RINOS (Republicans In Name Only). Sestak ads have so far zeroed in on Toomey’s stint on Wall Street, the only place in America less popular than Capitol Hill. Sestak’s task is to let Pennsylvanians know how extreme people like DeMint are: He supports replacing the federal income tax and IRS with a nation-wide sales tax and privatizing Social Security, and has suggested that gays and pregnant women should not be allowed to teach in public schools. He even tried to gut George Bush’s $50 billion global AIDS initiative. A representative of the deeply conservative Heritage Foundation put it this way: DeMint “may be the junior senator from South Carolina, but here we call him the senior senator from the Heritage Foundation.” As H.L. Mencken once said, “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” Toomey’s website certainly doesn’t, featuring an “extremism watch” that asks questions like “Who is Joe Sestak?” It’s only a matter of time before he starts asking for Sestak’s birth certificate. Given the stakes this November, Pennsylvanians ought to know that there are far more important records to check. n

"Green," Joy Feasley Narcissus in the Studio
There are hundreds of shows opening in Philadelphia this fall, and not nearly enough room to mention everything worthwhile. We’ve chosen six shows that are sure to be particularly great, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg. (Sept. 23-Nov. 7. arcadia.edu)
Remember that map you drew on a napkin to direct a friend to your house? Its cousin, created in necessity and collected by the Hand Drawn Map Association, will be appearing in Nowhere at Arcadia University Art Gallery. HDMA—an idiosyncratic Lancaster group newly relocated to Philadelphia—rescues the hand-drawn cartographic output as an archive of how we see the world in lines, symbols, street names and X-marked spots. Some of these maps are primitive, looking like drawings on the Lascaux cave walls. Others have a looser connection to reality and are more like art or a book illustration.
Da Corte’s found-object sculptures, shown at Fleisher-Ollman Gallery and many other places in Philadelphia, riff on aftermath. Colors that are too bright and shiny things that are too shiny recall the forlorn cleanup of the day after the party. The artist returns to Philadelphia with a Yale MFA and after shows in Boston and New York with new work, but the same sad outlook. The Best of the Rest
We would totally snort the ashes of Keith Richards in the unlikely event that something is able to actually kill the man. Anybody who knows anything about the band knows that it’s Keef who’s always been the coolest Stone: pithy, honest and just right the fuck on. So we can hardly wait to devour the 576 pages of Keith’s Life to get the inside scoop on pressing issues such as his relationship with the diabolically beautiful Anita Pallenberg, Canadian drug busts and bitch-fights with Mick. “I’ve been invented by the media,” he has said; “I’m just a minstrel.” Oh, but what a sexy minstrel you are, baby. Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, amy SedariS (Nov. 2)
The hostess with the leastest is back again, this time skipping cupcakes and truffles to focus on glue and popsicle sticks. Her reason? “Ugly people craft and attractive people have sex.” (Deep breath, and admit to yourself that your refutations are based on exceptions.) Sedaris promises to teach us crafts for moderns like seashell toilet bowl covers and crab-claw roach clips, which we enjoy thinking of as a meta-homage to Jerri Blank.

The major museums continue to chart deep art-historical waters, and college galleries to pop out entertaining and worthy fare. DesignPhiladelphia has a number of other notable projects, including the interactive Virtual Public Art Program (see letter V, page 32). In the commercial galleries, newcomer Jolie Laide hatches an ambitious program mixing out-of-town artists with locals. Locks, Gallery Joe, Fleisher-Ollman, Gallery 339, Bridgette Mayer and Pentimenti, to name a few, continue their solid programs—look in particular for a great installation of drawings by Astrid Bowlby at Gallery Joe (Sept. 25-Nov. 13). And on the fringes of the alternative scene, Little Berlin’s BYOTYO artist’s book and zine fair (Sept. 26) is back with affordable reading matter and homebrew for all. roberta falloN

Playing into the idea that artists are among the most self-absorbed humans, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts opens an exhibition from its collection of artists’ self-portraits and portraits of friends. PAFA, with its history of figurative art, is rich in portraiture by major American artists like Charles Wilson Peale, Thomas Eakins, Vik Muniz, Elizabeth Osborne and James Brantley. Modern-art curator Robert Cozzolino, who organized the exhibit, has a track record of unearthing surprises from the museum’s storage vaults—look for some good ones here.

The Book of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks, Bethany Keeley (July 14)
This one came out in July, but is still too “perfect” not to recommend. A book mocking nonsensical, gratuitous use of quotation marks written by a “Ph.D. candidate” in “rhetoric” with a thing for indie rock bands with “animal names” and Christianity? Yes, please! Bonus points if you enjoy flipping through books commissioned from blogs all outwardly, “This is stupid!

Jonathan Franzen is the Arcade Fire of the literary world—digitally inescapable. He and his serious work are all up in your Facebook and Twitter streams and in your dentist’s office on the cover of Time magazine, and lately all over the Huffington Post, which has been chronicling the details of the clitterati’s beef with media for giving Franzen the wettest blowjob this side of Dallas. Summary: “It’s a masterpiece of American fiction.” It’s an Oprah’s book club pick. Obama got a copy. Read at once, then announce your having read it to the people in your life who still judge you on such things. The Petting Zoo: A Novel,
Jim Carroll (nov. 4)
This is the first novel from late diarist Jim Carroll, street poet and author of The Basketball Diaries; he was working on it when he suffered a fatal heart attack at 60 last year. The novel focuses on a 38-year-old artist who, after shooting to the top of the New York City art world, has a nervous breakdown and goes soulsearching. It’s a thinly veiled roman à clef, of course, and one that should provide insight into the man once dubbed the new Rimbaud.
The Inferno: A Poet’s Novel, eileen myles (nov. 30)
Eileen Myles is the new new Rimbaud, spitting out lines that readers can’t help but grab like monkey bars, one right after the other. Inferno is the poet’s novelslash-memoir about a young girl coming of age in New York City when it was still cool and wide open to artists and freaks. “It was clear I could only venture into this world if I was alone—because if I had any friends at all they would just laugh at these weirdoes, but in New York I had committed myself to a life in which I had nothing better to do.” Rat Girl: A Memoir, Kristin hersh (aug. 31)
In Rat Girl, Kristin Hersh of seminal artrock band Throwing Muses mines a diary she kept when she was 18 to retell stories from one pivotal year of her life. She carves poetic, spectacular accounts of yanking songs out of the sludge of bipolar disorder, of stage fright and of living a precocious rock ’n’ roll life in a teenage chick band in New England, looking so young she’d get carded at her own show. For Throwing Muses fans and anyone interested in music history, it’s a mustread for her vivid accounts of songwriting alone. It’s also the perfect gift for the shocked teenage mom-to-be in your life, to let her know that you can have the kid and still be super badass awesome. Autobiography of Mark Twain,
marK twain (nov. 15)
Honoring Twain’s request, the University of California Press is publishing the first three volumes of Twain’s autobiography this fall. From The New York Times: “‘From the first, second, third and fourth editions all sound and sane expressions of opinion must be left out,’ Twain instructed them in 1906. ‘There may be a market for that kind of wares a century from now. There is no hurry. Wait and see.’” The proof will be in the pudding, but I don’t think Twain’s ever been wrong before. tara murtha
ommunity Arts Festival For one afternoon, Crane Arts will transform its grown-up Fishtown space into a kid-compatible, arts-and-crafts jamboree to benefit local arts programs for young’uns. Alongside perennial rugrat favorites— there’s no substitute for the high a 6-year-old gets when she’s flashing a face of painted-on whiskers and tiger stripes—the fest encourages sustainability as well as youthful creativity. The Philadelphia Water Department will present a workshop on how to make your own paper, and Multicultural Youth eXchange will show the wee ones how to upcycle discarded plastic into fabric—plus activities from more than 20 arts organizations from institutions like PAFA and Please Touch Museum to neighborhood nonprofits like Portside Arts Center and Greensgrow Farms.

DesignPhiladelphia (Oct.
7-17, designphiladelphia.cOm)
arrives with about 150 exhibits, talks, panels and events sprinkled around town in a 10-day celebration of the sleek, the efficient and the sustainable— a festival marking the city’s status as a leader in design. The 6-year-old festival, co-founded by Hilary Jay and administered by the University of the Arts, has had its ups and downs—losing its previous venue at Philadelphia University a few years back only to find a new home at UArts, known for its industrial-design programs focusing on sustainability. Last year, DesignPhiladelphia had 135 exhibitors, and this recession year Jay expected half that turnout—only to have the number of exhibitors go up, with the added bonus of finding a sponsor in Philadelphia’s new art czar, Gary Steuer, and his Office of Arts and Culture. There’s too many things affiliated with the festival to mention them all, so let’s take a look at one of the standouts: the nocturnal public-art venture Philadelphia Underground Video Installation (Oct. 8-11). This program of moving images projected on the bare walls of the pedestrian concourse under Dilworth Plaza near City Hall is a refreshing take on Philly’s mural tradition. The underground installation was organized by Marianne Bernstein, who during last year’s DesignPhiladelphia festival curated the Welcome House (a 10-by-10 glasswalled structure erected in Love Park for a couple of weeks in which various artists, passers-by and park denizens made art), and she’s clearly a woman with a vision and
an ability to get things done—even getting the city to approve their underground opening party (Oct. 9, 7-10pm) under City Hall, which will be hosted and emceed by Mike P, founder of Making Time. As for the video pieces themselves, Diedra Krieger’s citizen-participation piece MoVid gathers cell-phone videos made by SEPTA commuters documenting the city’s underground caverns, screechy-braked subway cars and people of all shapes and sizes. The installation can be seen as a technological take on Seurat; low-resolution cell-phone videos take on a pointillistic cast when blown up on the wall—dots of light and color up close resolving into an image at a distance. One clip captures a man eating a bag of sunflower seeds and spitting out the casings around him—anyone who rides the train regularly is familiar with the aftermath, but it’s fun to see one of the culprits on candid camera. David Kessler’s video near the waterfall fountain superimposes footage of the industrial concourse space itself with scenes of the opulent interior of the Academy of Music ballroom, with a waterfall of milk showering down from its crystal chandeliers, a contrast to the blue water in the City Hall fountain. The Underground Video Installation is just one of dozens and dozens of mostly free exhibitions, events and installations that are part of DesignPhiladephia. Don’t miss the exhibit of Philly-made design objects on display at PhillyWorks at Penn’s School of Design for the whole festival, and think about taking advantage of the more serious parts of the festival. There’s opportunities to visit architecture and design studios and go to lectures about design—and the town hall meeting (Oct. 12) on moving from talking about sustainability to actually doing something about it could actually be not only interesting, but important for the city’s future.

How Do You Know
Oscar Bait Talk out of the Toronto and New York film festivals is rapturous over David Fincher’s The Social Network (opens Oct. 1). Yes, the Facebook movie. West Wing verbal virtuoso Aaron Sorkin penned the screenplay from Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg’s real-life revenge-of-the-nerd saga. Lawsuits, Sorkin monologues and Fincher steadicam shots ensue. More raves on the festival circuit for Black Swan
Natalie Portman’s performance in Black Swan (Dec. 1), which stars the erratic actress as a ballet dancer suffering a nervous breakdown that just might have supernatural overtones. Mila Kunis plays a rival ballerina, and director Darren Aronofsky was kind enough to include shots of the two gals making out in the oft-downloaded trailer. There’s less enthusiasm for Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter (Oct. 22). Scripted by The Queen’s Peter Morgan, the movie tells three interlocking tales of woe following a tsunami. Matt Damon headlines as a troubled psychic and, despite iffy word of mouth,

The fourth year of Exhumed Films’s nonstop gorefest includes over a dozen features interspersed with trailers, shorts and cinematic oddities picked with an eye for balancing the classic and the obscure. Gervasi is steadfast about keeping this year’s selections cloaked in mystery, but drops a hint about one movie, requested since the dawn of Exhumed Films, that they’ve been unable to get the rights to until this year. The only thing he’ll say is that “it’s the most requested film that we’ve never screened.” Now that so many rarities are readily available to the average couch or internet jockey, you might expect the turnout at Exhumed’s screenings to decrease. Just the opposite, says Gervasi (and the packed houses back him up): Exhumed has prospered in the instant-access age because of the community that’s grown up around the screenings, something that very few have been able to pull off. “[It’s] kept us alive and profitable while other rep cinema groups flounder with audience members and are sustained through the lifeblood of grants pumped into their withered veins,” says Gervasi, his metaphor, unsurprisingly, taking a detour through zombieland. micaela hesteR

When it was founded, there was no Netflix, no Napster (that debuted in 1999, if you can believe it) and DVDs were still uncommon. Options for lovers of non-mainstream film of any genre were few: You could seek out crappy bootleg VHS tapes several generations from the source, or, if you were lucky, someone in your area would have both the savvy and dedication to run a film series for fellow genre-lovers. Happily, the Exhumed founders of had both. Gervasi’s experience booking hardcore punk shows helped get them into their first venue, and the positive response to the first screening (aside from the Tom Servo-wannabes) led them to continue bringing the obscure gore. Over the years, Exhumed has packed local theatres for presentations of Friday the 13th: 3D and visiting luminaries like Bruce Campbell, who was in town for a convention and whom Gervasi recalls as pure delight to work with, staying and signing things—including breasts—until about five in the morning. “His running commentary up in the projection booth was priceless,” says Gervasi. “Even when we realized we could pay him more, he didn’t take the money, as he liked what we were doing.”
(Dec. 22), winner of the Grand Prize at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Six years after flaming out with Spanglish, Academy favorite James L. Brooks is back with How Do You Know (Dec. 17—yup, that’s the one that was filmed here last summer), in which Paul Rudd’s indicted corporate schmuck competes with Owen Wilson’s addled ballplayer for Reese Witherspoon’s affections. As it’s a Brooks film, naturally Jack Nicholson is in there somewhere. Oscar voters love when movie stars play real people. Naomi Watts is outed CIA spy Valerie Plame Wilson in Doug Liman’s Fair Game (Nov. 5) which probably shouldn’t be confused with the 1995 Billy Baldwin/ Cindy Crawford epic of the same name. Mark Wahlberg finally got into shape to play Boston boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward in David O. Russell’s The Fighter (Dec. 10), which I’m told is not a sequel to The Wrestler. Finally, last year’s Best Actor winner Jeff Bridges takes on one of John Wayne’s most iconic roles, in the Coen brothers’ remake of True Grit (Dec. 25). Reportedly sticking closer to the original Charles Portis novel than the Henry Hathaway film, the unlikely project co-stars Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper and, once again, Matt Damon. sean buRns

“We had issues with folks thinking they were funny robots like that inane MST3K TV show, which meant dingdongs talking to the movie screen,” says Exhumed Films cofounder Joseph A. Gervasi of the series’ very first screening, back in 1997. “We put that shit to a stop straight away.” Nowadays, fans of gory, obscure film pack the house at Exhumed screenings—more than 350 tickets for their fourth 24-hour Halloween-weekend marathon (Oct. 3031) sold out months before the event—and they’re coming for love, not irony. The brainchild of four friends who wanted to see two gory Italian horror films they loved on the big screen, Exhumed Films has been screening horror movies in Philly for over a decade, with a focus on showing films that the audience might otherwise not get a chance to see.
The fall movie season is all about getting respectable, Hollywood executives suddenly pretending they’re in the business of adult dramas, making a last-minute rush for awardseason validation before the end-of-the-year deadlines. The Oscars are such an overwhelming presence during the fall movie season that we decided to separate the films into stuff to watch for at the Academy Awards and stuff that you should just watch.
Eastwood will presumably rack up nominations simply by virtue of being Clint. Slumdog superstar Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours (Nov. 5) stars James Franco as a mountain climber stuck between a rock and a hard place. Literally. Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu heaps untold misery upon Javier Bardem in Biutiful (Dec. 29) while Sofia Coppola returns to the ennui of luxury hotels with Somewhere

Here’s some picks for under-the-radar flicks that aren’t grasping at golden validation—they’re so under the radar, in fact, that the Philly release dates are still uncertain. The latest in a series of portrayals of terrorism back when it was sexy (The Baader Meinhof Complex, Mesrine), Olivier Assayas’ epic survey of Carlos the Jackal, Carlos, comes in two forms—there’s the three-part, 5 1/2-hour version, or a 2 1/2hour cut, if you’re a pussy. On a related note, Four Lions, the first feature from Britain’s most savage satirist Chris Morris (Brass Eye, Nathan Barley) is a massively hilarious comedy about suicide bombers. Whoever said the killing of innocent bystanders couldn’t produce hearty laughs? Portuguese minimalist Pedro Costa turns his (in)famous long takes on actresssinger Jeanne Balibar on tour in Ne Change Rien. This may not hit Philadelphia, but it should. And speaking of (in) famous long takes, Gaspar Noé’s newest assault Enter the Void goes nowhere near the extremes of Irreversible—unless you count creepy incestuous leanings or Enter the Void

If it’s live hip-hop, dancing and art you’re looking for this fall, or if you consider yourself a hiphop fan, then you have to check out the Gathering. Going strong since 1996, it’s the longest-running hiphop event in the city. The Gathering takes place on the last Thursday of each month at the historic Rotunda, on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus, and brings together the four traditional elements of hip-hop culture: rapping, break dancing, DJing and graffiti writing. Each Gathering features a headlining set by a local artist, but the real attraction for most is everything else that makes that Gathering what it is—the music, the dancing, the art, and the poetry. In fact, the featured act is sometimes barely noticed over the exuberance of the crowd. The atmosphere at the Gathering is almost circus-like. The DJ spins funk, hip-hop and breaks all night long, providing the backing for the break-dancers and emcees who do their thing in small bubbles that form and burst organically throughout the night. If you appreciate the complexity of rapping, you’ll love watching the local emcees go up against each
glowing penises. We see through the eyes of a drug dealer as he’s killed, relives his life then floats about Japan in an excessive film experience that must be seen in a theater. Josh Fox’s environmental doc GasLand reveals the downsides of natural-gas drilling in, among other places, rural Pennsylvania. Unlike the 2003 Charlize Theron pic of the same name (an epic example of Oscar bait), the two-person alien-invasion thriller Monsters is under the radar—for now. Claude Chabrol, the iciest of the French New Wave, died only recently, but IFC ensured we’d be quickly comforted with his last film, Inspector Bellamy—a detective yarn starring everyone’s favorite frothing Juliette Binoche-hater, Gérard Depardieu. More than the latest extreme neo-grindhouse, Red White & Blue, a gradually unfolding, Austin-set revenge saga, is as thoughtful as it is, in its third act, hard to watch. For all its press, the so-called “Mumblecore” genre has yet to have a breakthrough hit. Perhaps it will have one in Tiny Furniture, Lena Dunham’s sharp portrait of a Manhattan liberal-arts grad—a character who, in our wintery economic climate, should be unlikable, but, by sheer force of Dunham’s way with words, isn’t. And finally, acclaimed local animators Paul and Sandra Fierlinger turn their adorably rough style on J.R. Ackerly’s 1956 book My Dog Tulip, about his German Shepherd. But trust us, this is not fucking Marley & Me. Matt Prigge n other in freestyle battles. Equally impressive are the moves of the breakdancers, who flip, balance and twist their bodies to the bass that doesn’t stop until the Gathering ends. Amateurs brave enough to make the jump from bedroom mirror to jury of their peers are welcome to take a turn in the circles, but beware: World famous break-dance crews will stop by now and then to set the bar, and to let the amateurs know what the deal is. One of the jewels of this event is the live painting by local and visiting graffiti writers. The writers and any others in attendance are encouraged to leave their signatures on a wall covered in sheets of brown paper, called the “tag wall.” Whether you’re new to hip-hop or doing a head spin while you read this, The Gathering has everything a hip-hop fan needs to have a good time, including an admission price in everyone’s range: Just $3 gets you in for the night. Michael Polinsky n Gatherings this fall occur on Sept. 30, Oct. 28 and Nov. 25 at the Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St. 215.573.3234.

Mingle with the art crowd at the Institute of Contemporary Art’s “Free for All”, a juiced-up version of their frequent Whenever Wednesday events. Way more than just a lecture, the Free for All will feature live music by Philly garage-pop duo Reading Rainbow, so you can bop along to some tunes while you peruse the exhibition space. Senior Curator Ingrid Schaffner will give her annual talk, an examination of “What is Contemporary?” If academia isn’t your thing, then just bring along a raggedy old T-shirt and get it screenprinted for free by Print Liberation.

When you were a kid, Oct. 31 stood for the principles of candy and dressing up as a Power Ranger. Now that you’re grown, the date means dressing up as offensively as possible and drinking enough that leaving the party with a guy dressed as a giant penis doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. But there’s so much more to do in Philadelphia around Halloween than embarrasing gimmick hookups—here’s a few ideas. The idea of the dead rising from their graves had been terrifying and fascinating humans for centuries when Night of the Living Dead really solidified the current image of the decaying, flesh-eating monster known as the zombie. In the years since (especially in the last decade), there have been hundreds of variations on the idea, from the fast zombies of 28 Days Later to the sad, enslaved zombies of Fido, and if you ask a person under 30 what their plan for the zombie apocalpyse is, chances are good that they’ll be able to rattle off elaborate plans for getting onto a boat in the middle of the Delaware. In that spirit of obsession is the fourth annual Zombie Prom (Sept. 25, phillyzombiecrawl.org) at the Trocadero, with performances Philly fusion group the Young Werewolves. Makeup stations will be set up for anyone who forgot to put on their best face for prom; those slackers should try to arrive a little early to avoid long lines and missing out on the best night of your undead adolescence. Another undead being in the midst of a pop-culture revival is the vampire. The archetype has been neutered a bit lately, shifting toward the depiction of noble vampires who struggle with their insatiable thirst for blood—but the Rosenbach Museum brings back the old school with the eighth annual Dracula Festival (Oct. 1-31, rosenbach. org), a month of events featuring the original vampire, Count Dracula (eat your heart out, Edward). The Rosenbach museum houses Dracula author Bram Stoker’s original notes and outlines of the late 18thcentury novel, and they’ll be on display. Vampires not your thing? How about ghosts? Barrymore-winning playwright Michael Hollinger makes his seventh premiere at the Arden with Ghost Writer (through Nov. 7, ardentheatre.org). The play, directed by James J. Christy, peers into the turn-ofthe-century life of typist-cum-amanuensis Myra after her employer, novelist Frank
Woolsey, dies mid-sentence—and she keeps transcribing his words from beyond the grave. Myra must overcome the accusations of skeptics and Woolsey’s jealous widow, who suspects that Myra’s feelings for her late husband went beyond the strictly professional. Everyone knows about the Eastern State Penetentiary haunted house, but its being so well-known can sometimes detract from that pee-your-pants terror that’s the goal of the best haunted houses. If you’re looking for a new thrill, try Lu Lu Shriner’s House of Horrors (Oct. 8-31, lulushriners.org) in Plymouth Meeting. Don’t let the endearing name fool you—Lu Lu’s has a scare rating of 9 out of 10 ghosts (yes, there is a national haunted-house ranking system; and yes, their method of ranking is ghosts). Lu Lu only opens her doors from Thursday to Sunday at varying times, and though she loves scaring children, it’s recommended that you leave those 12 and under at home. And if zombies, vampires and ghosts don’t particularly strike fear into your heart, how about Peter Gabriel (Oct. 31, worldcafelive.com)? Philly-based singer/songwriter Matt Duke will give a Halloween show in costume and character as the ex-Genesis frontman at World Café Live, performing Gabriel’s 1986 album So in its entirety. Having worked with both WCL and WXPN before at the tender age of 21, the acoustic folk/pop/rock singer, now 25, will put his own spin on “Sledgehammer” and “In Your Eyes,” because Halloween just ain’t Halloween without some junior-high-slow-dance falsetto. Rachel Stumpo and slept on the set. Musician Akikazu Nakamura and composer Gene Coleman have partnered to bring this underseen film back to the world with a new score to be performed with live musicians at screenings. American/Japanese ensemble N_JP, made up of viola, cello, contrabass, shakuhachi, koto and bass clarinet, will accompany A Page of Madness in its world premiere. aleXandRa JoneS 8pm. $20.

ewishAmerican Museum On July 4, 1976, the National Museum of American Jewish History opened its doors in Old City, offering its own celebration of freedom from a uniquely Jewish perspective. Three decades later, the NMAJH is relocating to a much larger, much more architecturally impressive space just up the street at the edge of Independence Mall. But, as museum president/CEO Michael Rosenzweig says, the mission remains the same. “We want to connect American Jews more closely to their heritage, as well as inspire in all Americans a greater appreciation for the American Jewish experience. If you put to one side Native Americans and African-Americans—who’ve obviously got a quite different story—every other American’s ancestors came to this country as part of an immigrant group seeking the same freedoms that Jews came to seek. So we believe that all Americans will find a lot of common themes in this story that should resonate for them.” The museum’s grand opening weekend begins Friday, Nov. 12, with a free all-day symposium on American Jewish history highlighted by a panel discussion featuring NMAJH architect James Polshek. Saturday night brings a private gala dinner, and at noon on Sunday, Nov. 14, the 100,000-square-foot building opens to the public. Inside, visitors will be presented with 350 years of American Jewish history via a newly curated core

exhibition on four floors that includes thousands of artifacts from the museum’s collection. Among the more notable items on loan to the NMAJH: Songwriter Irving Berlin’s piano and original “God Bless America” sheet music; Steven Spielberg’s first film camera and the iconic typewriter from Schindler’s List; and vials in which Jonas Salk tested his polio vaccine. The NMAJH has put a premium on interactive technology; while it won’t be as emotionally harrowing a visit as a trip to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the idea is for the museum to be just as immersive an experience. And, notes Rosenzweig, the new location couldn’t be more fitting. “The story we tell is about one group, American Jews, and what it has been able to achieve given the blessings of freedom we’re privileged to enjoy. So what better place for a museum that’s so focused on freedom to be than right next to Independence Hall in Philadelphia?” michael alan GoldbeRG The Jewish-American Museum, 55 N.

Church): Four years after the untimely demise of Sleater-Kinney, former singer/ guitarist Corin Tucker returns to town behind a new album, 1,000 Years, on which she unleashes both her ferocious wail and slashing rock, and plenty of haunted acoustic numbers, too. Jedi Mind Tricks/Freeway/Reef the Lost Cauze (Oct. 29, Troc): You really can’t go wrong with three of the best, most distinctive local hip-hop acts in one room on one night. Style-wise, Jedi, Free and Reef don’t have a ton in common, but the singular, eternal Philly clash of soul and struggle manifests itself in each. Guided by Voices (Nov. 6, Troc): In the time it takes you to read this, Bob Pollard will have recorded and released three albums. Mr. Prolific has also managed to reunite the “classic ’93-’96 lineup” of his shambling, maddening, often exceptionally brilliant, and dormant-since-2004 Guided by Voices. They’ll draw primarily from Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes, and the people will go nuts. Roger Waters (Nov. 8, 9, 11, Wells Fargo Center): Pink Floyd will likely never tour again, but bassist/vocalist Roger Waters is celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Wall—which was mainly his vision, anyway—with a massive spectacle of a show that merges the album’s original themes of isolation and alienation with current concerns about war, fanaticism and capitalism. Brandon Flowers (Nov. 28, Electric Factory): The Killers emerged out of Vegas all shiny, neon and synthy several years back, but frontman Brandon Flowers soon left much of that behind and got his Springsteen (and his flannel and denim) on. That vibe continues on his first solo album, Flamingo, whose Boss-worshipping anthems are abetted by both country and New Wave textures. Could be a killer time.

The Vaselines (Oct. 3, First Unitarian Church): Scottish noise-pop foursome the Vaselines existed for only a couple of years in the late ’80s, and probably would’ve remained a minor musical footnote if Kurt Cobain hadn’t declared them his favorite band ever and had Nirvana cover three of their songs. Two decades after splitting, the influential band is finally back with a terrific new album, the wry, weird, and catchy Sex With An X. Semi-Precious Weapons (Oct. 5, North Star): If you’re going to spend two years as the opening act on Lady Gaga’s behemoth “Monster Ball” tour, you’d better be completely outrageous in your own right, and New York glam-rockers Semi-Precious Weapons are certainly that. Though he may not sport a meat bikini, flamboyant frontman Justin Tranter’s dirty-sexdrenched theatrics make Adam Lambert seem like Pat Boone, while his band’s swagger borrows liberally from the likes of T. Rex, AC/DC and Queen. K’naan (Oct. 8, TLA): Acclaimed Somali/ Canadian rapper/singer K’Naan’s gifted flow was inspired by both Eric B and Rakim and Bob Marley, and over sharp hip-hop beats and smooth R&B textures he delivers powerful, socially conscious lyrics demonstrating that the differences between the rough-and-tumble African and American streets are slight. Pierced Arrows (Oct. 9, Kung Fu Necktie): Fred and Toody Cole recently retired their longrunning, influential band Dead Moon. But the married couple, now in their 60s, are back with Pierced Arrows, a slightly bluesier but just as rippin’ version of Dead Moon’s righteous garage-punk. Mary Gauthier (Oct. 12, Tin Angel): Given up for adoption. Teenage runaway. Junkie.
Jail. Rehab. Cooking school. Successful restaurateur. Releases debut album at 35. Musical success. Mary Gauthier’s had an utterly fascinating life, and you’ll hear all about it in her dark, gripping folk-country songs. Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan (Oct. 14, Johnny Brenda’s): This generation’s answer to Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, ex-Belle & Sebastian songbird Isobel Campbell and former Screaming Trees growler Mark Lanegan make moody magic together. Three tremendous collaborative albums in, this is their first U.S. tour together, and it promises to be hands-down one of the best shows of the year. Kuf Knotz (Oct. 16, World Café Live): Philadelphia hip-hop mainstay Kuf Knotz’s terrific debut album BoomBox Logic—a paean to Golden Era beats and rhymes, updated with live instrumentation and Phillycentric soul—was a long time in the making, but tonight the rapper celebrates its release. Cannibal Corpse (Nov. 20, Troc): Any band that manages to twist Bob Dole’s bowels into a knot is all right by us, and Buffalo death metal/grindcore outfit Cannibal Corpse has been terrifying Senators (Dole once said CC’s music “threatens to undermine our character as a nation”) and parents everywhere for more than 20 years. And has pulled in plenty of fans, too, with their brutal, extreme riffs and rhythms and ultraviolent (OK, really fuckin’ sick) imagery. Powerhouse 2010 (Oct. 22, Wells Fargo Center): Time once again for Power 99’s annual Powerhouse blowout, featuring some of the bigger names in national and local hip-hop and R&B. This year’s lineup features humongo names like Drake, Ne-Yo and Rick Ross, but you should be especially excited for Grammy nominated Philly songbird Jazmine Sullivan and rising rapper Meek Millz.

Philly Pride busts open closet doors and takes it to the streets to mark National Coming Out Day. Loud, politically-charged, and glitter-spangled, OutFest (Oct. 10, phillypride.org) is an irrepressible, “Here and Queer!” celebration of sexuality and Philly’s incandescent bright LGBTQ culture—a coming-out party on a citywide scale. It’s also a typical street festival with a little Gayboorhood twist. Here, drag races run on pancake makeup and high heels, eating-contest competitors gobble down penis-shaped bagels and the dogs are dyed DayGlo colors. Vendors will be hawking rainbow gear, the thumpa thumpa will be pounding, and the politicians will be schmoozing. Whether you’re part of the acronym or an ally, it’ll be a sparkling good time—and a very beautiful day in the Gayborhood. lauren SMith

The endearing eggheads from the Chemical Heritage Foundation continue their monthly formalyet-informative Science on Tap lecture series at National Mechanics, a safe space for those who kind of miss going to chemistry class, but don’t miss the homework or enforced sobriety. Every second Monday, science lovers gather for drinking and thinking about dinosaurs, forensic science, creative zoology, the origins and evolution of beer and, of course, just plain old beer. The upcoming theme is “A Toast to Fixing the Sky,” (Oct. 11) on man’s attempts to control the vagaries of the natural world. From Native Americans offering dances for favorable weather to Bernard Vonnegut—who, as frequently noted in his brother Kurt’s books, discovered that seeding clouds with silver iodide produces precipitation—people have tried everything from prayer to technology to make weather work for them. Atmospheric scientist and historian James R. Fleming explores our technological relationship with the natural forces that have the power to sustain life or destroy civilization. He’ll lead a talk on how climate manipulation could help our rapidly warming globe. Weighty concepts indeed—best discussed with heady brew in hand. aleXandra JoneS

hilly F/M As the name implies, the first annual Philadelphia Film & Music Festival, or Philly F/M, (Sept. 23-26, phillyfmfest.com) intends to integrate the visual pleasures of independent film with the aural pleasures of independent music. And how shall this be accomplished? Over four days and 70 events (some free) at nearly three dozen venues around town, bands will play live as films are screened, sometimes crafting improvised scores; music-themed movies and documentaries will be shown both indoors and outdoors; a Phillycentric music video expo and a record fair will be held; and more. Scads of local and national bands (and films) are involved in Philly F/M—be sure to check out the official website for the full slate of events and locations. Michael alan GoldberG

“It’s disturbing,” remarks Stephen Quay, one half, along with identical twin Timothy, of the stop-motion animation duo the Quay Brothers. Be very afraid of what would disturb filmmakers whose creations include baby dolls with open heads (Street of Crocodiles), a razorthin grotesque atop a tricycle (The Epic of Gilgamesh) and a twitchy-eyed beast with a tangled wire body (Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies).

ing by Anatomica Aesthetica , it will debut at the museum next year before visiting MoMA and Los Angeles’ Museum of Jurassic Technology. The marriage between the Mütter and the stop-motion animators—who were born in Pleasant Valley, outside of Philadelphia, attended the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts) and have spent most of their lives in London— is, needless to say, ideal. Their dozens of shorts and features revel in the antiquated, the tossed-aside, the deformed. It’s no shock when the Quays repeatedly boast of their impressive collection of books on pathology and anatomy. The museum has given them creative carte blanche, plus access to the vaults housing objects and books that are not, for whatever reason, available to the public. As we chat after a day’s shoot, they excitedly talk about an instrument that was inserted through a patient’s urethra. Once inside, the surgeon had 90 seconds to grab and crush a kidney stone, otherwise the patient would die. But what fascinates them isn’t just the objects themselves. “We grew up around the work of Andrew Wyeth,” Stephen says. “We were fascinated by texture. It can be about using a macro closeup of an acorn or a pine cone.” The Quays mention the word “story” once, and that they mention it at all is surprising—their films often work as pure abstraction. They foreground everything but narrative, creating a dialogue between, among other entities, image and music. “The montage of film is choreography,” Stephen says. “And music assists as a choreographer. Just as in dance. You always choreograph to the music.” The scores are always written before production—the
one for their Mütter film is by Tim Nelson, who visited the museum for inspiration— but not written for any specific action. No rules are given. They want to be “surprised.” “There’s that potential that music can illuminate and create epiphanies and revelations. Usually voiceover does not give you an epiphany. Music does. Words establish order, and music establishes that sense of edginess and disorder that brings the spectator forward,” Stephen says. Still, we shouldn’t use the word “nightmare”—or even “dreamlike”—to describe their moody, otherworldly films. “We don’t do dream sequences. Puppets aren’t about that. Not every puppet film is a dream,” Stephen says. “We’ve always liked something Robert Walser once wrote: ‘In between worlds, in between wakefulness and sleep.’ We think animation inhabits that beautifully.” Stop-motion typically brings to mind painstaking preparation; think Aardman taking years to make a Wallace and Gromit entry from the tight storyboards. The Quays don’t rely so much on pre-planning, piecing their work together slowly, “inching forward millimeter by millimeter.” The Quays are used to a more leisurely production period—say, a year locked away in a studio. For their Mütter film, they had 10 to 12 days and a tight budget. Even halfway through the shoot, they still weren’t sure exactly what direction it would take. “We feel very natural working like that,” Stephen says. “We know by experience that the major discoveries will be made en route. It’s a process of discovery that will develop very slowly.” “And,” adds Timothy, “it will develop by accident.” Matt PriGGe

tand-Up It’s always funny in Philadelphia. By Brian McManus bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com It’s a recent Saturday night and local comedian Doogie Horner is on stage at Connie’s Ric Rac—a tiny, recently reopened dive in the Italian market on Ninth Street—doing his imitation of a long-haul trucker at a poetry slam to scattered bursts of laughter and applause from a crowd of a couple dozen. Horner’s stand-up is a wry combo of dry humor, big concepts, witty one-liners, aloof sarcasm and the absurd—he’ll contemplate who would win a battle between General Tso and Col. Sanders should the two ever meet on the field of battle (answer: YOU) just after pondering the subtle racism of a Great White Shark. His comedic style is equal parts Todd Barry, Patton Oswalt, Mitch Hedberg and Zach Galifi-

anakis, although the latter might just be because both sport immense beards. This year he won Helium Comedy Club’s fifth annual Philly’s Phunniest competition. Horner has been active in Philly’s standup scene for four years, but it was just a month or so ago that he caught a national wave on America’s Got Talent, an NBC show you probably can’t stand but your parents really enjoy. It’s hosted by Mariah Carey’s husband and judged by obnoxious germaphobe Howie Mandell, fun-butcloying Sharon Osbourne and Larry King’s replacement to-be, the evil, lizardlike Brit Piers Morgan. Horner took the stage to a ravenous, bloodthirsty crowd who’d already torn fresh assholes in the 40 (!) comedians

preceding him. It only took one one-liner for the crowd to pounce—“I don’t trust pregnant people. I feel like they’re hiding something.” By the time he’d gotten to his joke about having sex with eagles, things got Blues Brother chicken wire bad. Only he fought back. “You are all terrible people,” he told the crowd just before challenging each of them individually to a fight. They began applauding the abuse. He passed through to the next round. Tonight at Connie’s he retains a bit of that fighter’s spirit. “I’m sick of all these comedians that come onstage and are funny,” he says after a joke falls on deaf ears. “I’m over it. I’m only doing unfunny material from here on out. I’m changing the game, flipping the script.” Connie’s isn’t a typical venue for comedy, but more and more often now it’s typically the kind of place you’ll catch Horner and other up-and-coming Philly comics. Atypical rooms like The Dive, Shubin Theater, Copabanana, R.U.B.A. Room, Raven Lounge and National Mechanics all host a comedy or variety night throughout the week. On Thursday, Horner himself hosted a cabaret-style variety show at R.U.B.A. He logged time last Tuesday at the Festival Bar on Delaware and Spring Garden streets. Independent nights like Horner’s own Ministry Of Secret Jokes—which ran a year and a half at Fergie’s, but resumes Friday night at R.U.B.A.—are where young comedians in town have been cutting their teeth, and learning to think on their feet. These shows have been growing around town over the last couple of years, along with the stand-up scene in general. The stand-up community in Philly is stronger and more robust than it’s ever been. “It used to be you could get a lot of time in at open-mikes that weren’t comedy specific,” says Pat House, a local comedy vet of six years. “Then you could get five minutes in after a guy singing an acoustic ballad. Today there are nights tailored specifically for stand-up or for comedy. It’s exploded these last few years.” On any given night in the city, opportunities for stand-ups to get onstage abound. There’s Center City Comedy Thurday nights at the Raven, an offbeat comedy venue which also plays host to a curated stand-up show called Cheap Laughs every third Saturday. Chip Chantry’s One-Man Show with Special Guests takes place on Mondays at the Khyber even now after the venue has ceased live music performances, although he’ll soon relocate when the bar turns izakaya. There’s Famous International Variety Show Sundays at Copabanana on 40th and Spruce streets.

Sure, he thinks he’s funnier than he is. Sure, he came off like a complete cock in his biography, Black is the New White, pretty much taking credit for Richard Pryor’s career. Sure, he can be reactionary and hyperbolic on issues of race. But there’s no denying he’s an institution, and
anything short of unflinchingly honest. His last three stand-up specials, Shameless (2007), Chewed Up (2008) and Louis C.K.: “Hilarious!” (2010) are a trifecta of perfect concert films, the Holy Trinity of Funny.

He told Jeff Foxworthy he looks like Magnum P.I. with AIDS. He told Larry the Cable guy he’s been in more farm animals than Purina.

ONGOING ShOwS: s c ot t g a r r i s o n
P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY
“The opportunity to get in front of people has grown incredibly since I started,” says Horner. “Philly is a great place to start. The community here is very supportive. And it’s not as big as it is in New York, so you’re able to get in front of people frequently and learn about yourself onstage,” says Aaron Hertzog, 26, who started doing stand-up four years ago. Hertzog hosts his own night, Hey Everybody!, each Thursday night in October at the Shubin Theater (heretofore it’s been a monthly event), where six or so comedians are featured each week. He placed third in Philly’s Phunniest this year. Hertzog began his comedy career after his good friend Pat House—now a feature comedian at Helium who hosts his own comedy showcase a couple times a year in Delaware County—started making hay at it. “It’s always something I wanted to try, and when Pat started doing it just made it easier to give it a shot. It was nice to have a friend to tag along with who knew where all the shows were and who could talk to about bits.” The buddy system isn’t uncommon. “We offer one another feedback. We write jokes together,” says Hertzog of Philly comedians. “We’ll go to a bar and just start writing with one another or [go] to one another’s house to write jokes over pizza.” “No one in Philly is jealous of anyone else’s success,” says House. “We just want to see one another improve and hone the craft.” “There is no back biting at all,” says comedian and improv artist Darryl Charles. “That could be because none of us is really all that great yet, and we are learning together.” Charles co-hosts several nights around town—Center City Comedy, Cheap Laughs, Famous International Variety Show—and only started getting onstage two years ago. (His new starring role in a video promoting Center City Comedy, a mock trailer for a horror movie called Something Grazed My Foot—“So horrible, so horrific, so ... stereotypical”—is pretty goddamn funny. Check it out on our website.) “It’s a really exciting time for comedy in Philly,” says Hertzog, of the city’s current stand-up scene. “It’s incredible to think of all the stuff going on right now.” He recalls a recent Saturday night, one that began with him hosting a show at the Shubin for [group] Philly Improv Theater, and then took him to Helium to see Brian Posehn perform. Then he went across the street to the Adrienne Theater to celebrate with a who’s who of Philly comedians at the PHIT’s successful Fringe Festival run. Charles had his own busy Saturday, which started at Raven hosting Cheap Laughs, then saw him dash to Connie’s Ric Rac to perform with Rookie Card, of which he’s a member. From there, he too closed out the night at the Adrienne. He left abruptly after something grazed his foot. n
Louis C.K. When Party Down was canceled earlier this year, it sent shock waves down the spines of fans of Funny-Ass TV everywhere. It was the funniest show on the tube, bar none, and seeing it axed was like a punch to the gut. Thankfully, Louis C.K.’s Louie popped up on the scene at FX almost immediately after, like some sort of God-sent shot of Pepto. It now wears its Funniest Show sash proudly. It’s no wonder why. Louis C.K. has long been the best stand-up comedian working today (it’s true—Ricky Gervais even thinks so), and the show is built around his routine. Whether he’s riffing on the saddest hand job ever, how much deer suck, the N-word or duck vaginas, Louis’ takes are always as fresh as they are clever, and never

title character who makes a big impression at her high school prom, the production features puppets and costumes from the ultra-creative Alisa Sickora Kleckner and a bevy of special effects, including flying daggers and a torched high school. In another scary tale, Bristol Riverside Theatre opens their 2010-11 season with Jeffrey Hatcher’s reimagining of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Sept. 28-Oct. 17, brtstage.org). Set in Victorian London, Hatcher’s sexy adaptation reportedly frames the action as a complex moral war between our good and evil selves. Philadelphia Theatre Company continues its commitment to developing new work with PTC@PLAY (Oct. 7-21, philadelphiatheatrecompany.org), a new festival featuring five scripts from some of the nation’s top dramatists. Each play focuses on a unique aspect of the American experience, including the Tectonic Theater Project’s
Why I'm Scared of Dance
after the brutal murder of gay college student Mathew Shepard ignited the gayrights movement. Lantern Theater presents Chekhov’s tragicomic classic Uncle Vanya (Oct. 21-Nov. 21, lanterntheater.org). In conjunction with the production, Lantern will host a mini Chekhov festival (Nov. 5-7), with special performances and readings of the playwright’s work, discussions and a Russian-themed dinner. Finally, InterAct Theatre Company returns for a 23rd season with the world premiere of Silverhill (Oct. 22-Nov. 14, interactheatre.org). The latest drama from Thomas Gibbon (the award-winning author of Permanent Collection), Silverhill focuses on the uneasy relationship between money and religion in a utopian Christian community whose practice of communal wealth-sharing is threatened when they consider adopting a capitalism.

Sometimes art is weird—you look at it but still don't see it, as if you’re missing a special pair of decoder glasses that would reveal the meaning. Those glasses normally come figuratively by way of a liberal-arts education, a lot of time spent trolling galleries or intoxication. But for the Virtual Public Art Program (starting Oct. 7, virtualpublicartproject.com), they’re right there on your smartphone. Computer-art organization Breadboard, based in the University City Science Center, is curating this computer-generated art— 3-D sculptures, images or floaty ambient whatnots. The artist will place his or her work—like a virtual easter egg—in a specific location using GPS longitude and latitude. Viewers can then download an app, use its directory to find the location, point an iPhone or Android at it and voila! The invisible sculpture appears in the viewer. The project is still open for submissions, so it’s anybody’s guess what the virtual-art selections will be like when the project launches in conjunction with DesignPhiladelphia. peter Crimmins

rban Theatre Festival The last few years, there’s been a discernible lack of Philadelphia theater focusing on the African-American experience. Stepping in to fill the void (at least momentarily) is the inaugural Philly Urban Theatre Festival. Conceived by South Philly playwright Kash Goins, the three-week festival features 14 productions that Goins says reflect the diversity in the African-American community. Highlighting that diversity are two plays focusing on themes of particular interest to Intimate Chaos the LGBT community: Goins’ own awardwinning drama VI Degrees (through Sept. 26), which explores life on the down low and the disturbing prevalence of HIV/ AIDS among black men, and Intimate Chaos (Sept. 30-Oct. 2), Cheril Clark’s tale of a lesbian affair. Goins says he hopes the festival will foster a new sense of community among local black theater artists as well as providing a platform for young playwrights. J. Cooper robb
The Laramie Residency
b e t sy a da m s
Now that the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe has concluded, attention turns to the city’s resurgent theater companies—and this fall, local stages are ridiculously jam-packed with interesting and enticing productions. Following the unexpected departure this summer of company co-founder Jiri Zizka, the Wilma ushers in their new season with director Blanka Zizka’s staging of Macbeth (Sept. 29-Nov. 7, wilmatheater.org). The first go at Shakespeare in the Wilma’s 31-year history, this production is set in a modern civilization on the brink of ruin. Two artists fresh from successes at the Live Arts Festival are featured—scenic designer Mimi Lien, responsible for the ever-morphing cardboard sets in Pig Iron Theatre Company’s amazing Cankerblossom, and choreographer Brian Sanders, who had a major festival hit with Sanctuary. The Arden Theatre Company has two shows on separate stages. First, there’s the world premiere of Michael Hollinger’s Ghost-Writer (through Nov. 7, ardentheatre.org). An investigation of creative inspiration, the show stars Megan Bellwoar as a typist-cum-novelist-cum-medium. On the larger F. Otto Haas stage, director Terrence J. Nolen looks at crime, banking and antiheroes in the classic Threepenny Opera (Sept. 30-Nov. 7). This Halloween season, Brat Productions (the company responsible for last fall’s imaginative house-of-horrors drama Haunted Poe) hopes to scare the crap out of you with playwright Erik Jackson’s gender-bending version of Stephen King’s horror story Carrie (Oct. 2-Nov. 7, bratproductions.org). Starring drag performer Erik Ransom as the telekinetic

The hum of excitement over the arrival of X’ed Out, the latest graphic novel by Philly’s Charles Burns, has reached a deafening pitch. Anticipation for the release of the first installment of an extensive masterwork accelerated this spring at New York’s MoCCA festival, where gorgeous and bizarre full-color images from the book were teasingly circulated. The buzz is that it outdoes his landmark Black Hole while adhering to form: Themes of alienation and eroticism are lushly explored through Burns’ nightmare imagery. But that’s not to say that the story treads into familiar territory. Stuffed between the hardcovers is a feverish tale of parallel realities, a city of deformed inhabitants, dead cats, PopTarts and TinTin. It’s unlike anything else hitting the shelves. Charles Burns speaks about the book at the Central Library on Oct. 19 with Chip Kidd, author of Shazam!: The Golden Age of the World’s Mightiest Mortal. MICAELA HESTER
annick NézetSéguin What did the Philadelphia Orchestra do on its summer vacation? After a spring tour of China, Japan and Korea, the world-class ensemble mostly chilled at home, performing free neighborhood concerts in Upper Darby and at Penn’s Landing and City Hall. But the orchestra also used its staycation to take care of some important business: On June 18, Montrealborn conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin signed a seven-year contract to become the orchestra’s next music director. (For the next two seasons, the title is technically Music Director Designate.) He’ll be 37 when the 2012 season starts; the orchestra has continued a long tradition of hiring (comparatively) young go-getters to helm artistic operations: Past icons like Eugene Ormandy and Leopold Stokowski also took the reins before hitting the big 4-0. Nézet-Séguin brings with him quite the international rep: He’ll maintain his positions as artistic director of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain, music director of the Rotterdamn Philharmonic Orchestra and principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic.

Jonathan Franzen, (Sept. 23, freelibrary. org) the current King of All Writers, is going to presumably walk up the steps of the Free Library on a carpet made of rubies and pearls and read from his latest, Freedom: A Novel, while seated on a golden throne. Another superstar, Salman Rushdie (Nov. 23, freelibrary. org), will be gracing Philly with his presence to support Luka and the Fire of Life. The novel’s written as a sort-of sequel to Haroun and the Rushdie Sea of Stories, a book he wrote for his eldest son. Post-Fatwah, Rushdie’s bound to be entertaining—he has enough of a sense of humor about himself to cameo in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Speaking of hilarious romantic comedies, Nora Ephron (Dec. 14, freelibrary.org), the writer/producer of films like When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle, is reading from her second memoir, Remember Nothing: and Other Reflections. If you want to go cougar-hunting, this is probably the place for you. A.L. Kennedy, author of What Becomes: Stories, and Gary Shteyngart (Sept. 30, freelibrary.org), whose Super Sad True Love Story was the most entertaining book of the summer, are making a dual appearance. Kennedy’s a stand-up comedian when she’s not being a famous author; she and Shteyngart are perfect if dark and funny are your style. Richard Yates, the latest novel from Toa Lin (Oct. 12, brickbatbooks.com) is not about the famous author with the same name. It features characters “Dakota Fanning” and “Haley Joel Osment,” but isn’t about the actors, either. Lin’s bestknown other work is Shoplifting From American Apparel (this is our polite way of describing him without using the dreaded
rhymes-with-dipster word), and some are calling him the next big thing in books, and you can judge for yourself at Brickbat Books. It’s a great season if you’re into music, too. Alex Ross (Oct. 26, freelibrary.com), music critic for the New Yorker, is reading from his latest collection, Listen to This. His The Rest Is Noise explained the roots of 20th-century classical music from Mahler to Glass in an accessible way. Listen to This widens his focus to include everything from Mozart to the Beatles, but with the same care. If there’s only one musician you care about, and she’s punk as hell, you’re in luck—Patti Smith (Dec. 8, freelibrary.com) will be reading from Just Kids, in which she recounts the story of her relationship with her best friend, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Each paragraph rubs in how much cooler her life is than yours. Sometimes, fiction rings false in your heart—you gotta have poetry. If that’s true of you, there’s a lot happening. Eileen Myles (Oct. 10, writing.upenn.edu), sort of the Patti Smith of poetry, is coming to read at the Kelly Writer’s House. And if foreignlanguage poets are more exciting than rock ’n’ roll, Arkadii Dragomoshchenko (Nov. 3, writing.upenn.edu) will be coming as well. William Gibson (Sept. 25, freelibrary.org), the man who coined the term cyberspace, will be attracting every nerd and closet sci-fi fan in the region for Zero History: A Novel. His past three books have been a shift from writing about a far-off future in which we all live in computers to writing about a very-near future in which we all live in computers—all the more compelling. Sometimes science-science is more compelling than science fiction. Oliver Sacks (Oct. 26, freelibrary.com), the neurologist that explained how to (briefly) wake someone from a Parkinsonian coma and how a man could mistake his wife for a hat. The Mind’s Eye is another collection of stories about what can go wrong in your brain. And in the world of comics, Bob Schreck (Sept. 24, facebook.com/locustmoon), the editor responsible for modernizing titles like Green Lantern for DC Comics, will talk about the industry with aspiring cartoonists and fans at Locust Moon Comics, and Philly’s Charles Burns will read from his soon-to-be-released scary opus at the Free Library (Oct. 19, see X for X-ed out, below).

“I tried to decide what I was going to demand that Phil do to me first: suckle on my tits, eat my pussy, or lick my ass. Yes, my ass. I showered after my morning shit. Did you?” writes Zane in her latest novel, Hotbox, from which she’ll be reading at the Free Library this week (Sept. 28). She contends, though, that the famously explicit sex scenes in the 26 novels under her belt aren’t the point, exactly—just the result of thoroughness, and finding the euphemistic purple-headed warriors and unfurling flowers of traditional erotica aimed at a female audience to be a turn-off. “I’m just a detailed writer,” she says, in a phone interview with PW, “and I don’t think I should have to tone it down when it comes to sex.” Zane, now a regular presence on The New York Times bestseller list with her own label distributed by Simon and Schuster, has an origin story reminiscent of that other mom-turned-ridiculouslywealthy-bestseller, J.K. Rowling. In 1997, she started writing short stories for her own entertainment while raising her kids, putting them up on her website more as a hobby than anything else. The next thing she knew, she had a rabid following of “Zanies,” and by 2000, rumors were floating around that she’d published a book. “People were calling bookstores and emailing me, asking about it,” she says.
start building up Philly cred, and though he doesn’t shed the “designate” part of his title until the beginning of the 2012 season, the orchestra is eager to introduce the dynamic young conductor to its public. Nézet-Séguin’s first performance directing with the orchestra (Oct. 2931, philorch.org) will feature a program of works connected by stylistic markers and place. Franz Joseph “Father of the Symphony” Haydn’s “Military” Symphony No. 100 and late-Romantic Gustav Mahler’s heavyhitting Symphony No. 5 both feature trumpet figures that recall martial music. This programming choice—contrasting works by two Viennese composers of different periods—would indicate a desire to maintain the famed orchestra’s excellent rep while going for that modern orchestra’s brass ring—presenting classical music that’s accessible to both oldtimers and first-timers. Nézet-Séguin’s appointment comes at a time when the orchestra is re-evaluating its entire organization. After years of the kinds of budget shortfalls and declining audiences that have plagued many of the country’s top orchestras since before the recession, the 110-year-old pride of Philadelphia’s performing arts scene could benefit from the stability of a music director who shares its vision—and the vitality of this internationally-renowned conductor. ALEXANDRA JONES Not one to miss out on an opportunity, she self-published her first novel, The Sex Chronicles, which became one of the most visible books in an ever-growing wave of African-American erotica. Its immense popularity caught the eye of traditional publishers, including Simon and Schuster, looking to capitalize on a phenomenon. A decade later, her brand is such that the Cinemax series adapted from her work isn’t just named The Sex Chronicles—it’s Zane’s Sex Chronicles. “I use sex to get people’s attention,” says Zane—but her popularity, she suggests, is based on something more than just people getting their rocks off. “It’s about life itself, people struggling to find what they want in a relationship,” she says. It’d be easy to assume that her grueling publishing schedule (almost three novels a year—more frequently than some of us get laid) would exhaust her imagination, but she doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. “The stories flow out of me,” she claims. “I can’t explain it. It just happens.” Her family is supportive: “My mom thinks it’s funny,” she says, and her 23-year-old son, far from being freaked out, is about to get into the family business himself with his first novel, The Angle of the Dangle, next year. While her popularity might make it tough for her sometimes (“Men are intimidated,”) she’s having a good time, she says. “It’s great to do something you love to do.” ALLI KATz

Advertorial
Is wine a mysterious elixir that requires an alchemist’s notebook to decipher? If you have ever read the tasting notes in a wine magazine, you may think so: “the lush cranberry of this pinot noir is accented with a touch of marshmallow and a hint of tobacco-spiced granite.” Descriptions like that make wine professionals sound like egomaniacs with Asperger syndrome or some crazy type of gustatory schizophrenia. Learning about wine is actually quite easy; The trick is to stay away from the two most obnoxious trends in wine tasting. First of all, steer clear of the wine snobs. You know the type: they love to brag about their expensive wine collections. Not only do they sap the fun out of wine, they are usually totally clueless, too. Ignoring them is the first step to true wine knowledge. Second of all, stay away from all those wine tastings that pop up around town. Most are really just advertastings for big-name wine brands: Even though you paid good money to go to the event, the wineries are also paying to be represented favorably. You’ll get a good buzz, but your head will be full of marketing nonsense. There are two ways to really learn about wine, and have a good time. The first is to take some classes at a school that offers unbiased consumer-friendly classes. In Philly, that means the Wine School of Philadelphia: they are the only place we know of that refuses to offer advertastings. They also offer professional certifications, and some of their graduates have gone on to become winemakers. The second option is even more fun: visit some wineries. Don’t be a consumer and just hang out in the tasting room, call ahead and get a tour of the winemaking facility. You will be surprised and delighted at how much you will learn about wine by knowing how it’s made. The best part of a winery tour is that you don’t have to head off to California. There are hundreds of wineries within driving distance of Philly, and how they make wine is pretty much exactly how they do it everywhere else. Sure, the wines are different than what they make in Napa, but how they make them is pretty much identical. Whatever path to wine enlightenment you take, just remember to have fun and not let the snobs get you down.

On his Sept. 9 show, Rush mocked TIME writer Jay NewtonSmall, asking the big questions: “Why would somebody’s last name be hyphenated?” After deep contemplation, he concluded that Newton-Small had conjoined his and his wife’s last name. He then cleverly castrated his opponent: “It’s usually girls that do that.” After many more fruitful claims about “Imam Obama,” he was slipped a note revealing that Newton-Small is actually a woman. This makes the
ing a thriving record label, raising families, and in drummer Jon Wurster’s case, touring with the Mountain Goats and performing comedy to release Majesty Shredding . The band certainly knows how to return from an extended hiatus, as evidenced by the cheeky “Digging For Something” video directed by ex- Daily Show writer Scott Jacobson making the Internet rounds. However, sans video, the track stands on its own as a straightforward and catchy power pop gem, enhanced by Mac McCaughan’s deceptively youthful vocals. It’s the perfect teaser to an album that provides a compact 42 minutes worth of orchestrated distortion and wailing guitars. In other words, Majesty Shredding is a welcome return.

hyphenation “a little bit more understandable,” Rush admitted. Interestingly, if he’d taken the names of his four wives, he’d be Rush Limbaugh-McNeely-Sixta-Fitzgerald-Rogers. Even if that were the case, most of us would likely just continue to refer to him as the fucking-racist-sexistxenophobic-homophobic-moronic-asshole who’s speaking tonight. Elliott Sharp

Sharon Little
Adorable Philly homegirl Sharon Little’s gigantic leap in chops and style more than make up for the cringe-worthy theme of Paper Doll, her forthcoming sophomore album for CBS Records. We’ll just say it uses the word “manifesto” and swiftly move on to declare: holy shit, do we love it, and honestly, we are scared of the white-girlsoul-infused pop thing. The first single, “Paper Doll,” is so infectious, it could have been nicked off the night table of Australian dance-pop princess Sia with its feet-friendly beats, slightly nasal, swan-diving vox and nuanced phrasing. The break-out isn’t exactly a surprise; Little’s gone big since 2008’s Perfect Time for a Breakdown. On the high heels of that release, she was chosen as the opening act for Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ 2008 U.S. Raising Sand tour where she wo-manned up, nailed it and regularly received standing ovations. From people expecting Robert Plant. Let her write any manifesto she wants. Tara MurTha

If the Athens, Ga., quintet Dead Confederate is tired of being characterized as “Kurt Cobain fronting Crazy Horse”—a reasonable comparison the band received far and wide in the wake of 2008’s moody, rockin’ Wrecking Ball—they didn’t do much to change that perception on the just-released Sugar. Which is fine: Frontman Hardy Morris’ In Utero-style howl is far preferable to, say, that chump from Puddle of Mudd. And there’s no denying the power of DC’s brawny, grungy wallop, which becomes even

Dust off your headscarves, practice your flag dance and remember to feed the raccoons— the Edies are back. American aristocrats and Kennedy cousins, the kooky motherdaughter duo of Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and Edith Bouvier Beale became camp idols with the 1975 release of Grey Gardens, the spooky, sad documentary of their lives in flea-infested East Hampton squalor. Now the cult classic about the craziest of the cat ladies gets a fresh projection as part of the Clay Studio’s Old City Film Series. As these high-society dropouts squabble, rot and dream of cabaret stardom, they expose the moth-eaten underbelly of old money affluence. But Little Edie, prancing around in upside-down skirts and bathing-suitand-pantyhose ensembles, is unquestionably fabulous—a completely cuckoo fashion plate. LaurEN SMITh

Now this is a double bill that promises to be more fun than a barrel of Meth-fueled monkeys (and considerably less dangerous).

It would be worth crawling over broken glass just to catch Titus Andronicus launch into their young snotty Replacements-meets-Arcade-Fire with a hefty
The Jungle
In 1967, a group of teenagers, members of the North Philadelphia 12th and Oxford Street gang, got their hands on a film camera. Guided by longtime UPenn administrator Harold J. Haskins, they they created a compelling, first-person documentary of their lives. Their message would be echoed in the decades to come by hip-hop artists like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, whose gritty songs, like this film, make you wonder how they keep from going under. The film played a transformative role in the lives of the young men it depicts, giving rise to the 12th and Oxford Filmmakers Corporation, a community-development project run by former gang members. In 2009, The Jungle was added to the prestigious National Film Registry of the U.S. Library of Congress. The screening includes a Q&A with Haskins and some of the original filmmakers and stars themselves. MIKE agrESTa 7pm. $5. scribe Video center, 4212 Chestnut St. 215.222.4201. scribe.org

Bobby Bare Jr.
On Bobby Bare Jr.’s latest record (the first in four years) On A Storm, A Tree, My Mother’s Head, his Americana blood—already dark as motor oil—runs so cold it’s a shock the words can still flow. Already a dive bar poet laureate singing melancholy tales of Jesus and cocaine sunrises, this new record gilds Bare Jr.’s crown as king of rock-loving depressives. Take hearttwister “One Us Has Got to Go.” Junior huffs out a huge here-goes-nothing sigh then growls, “One of us has got to go, babe / I climbed to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge but forgot I’m afraid of heights/ Put bullets in the pistol and the pistol in my mouth/ But that barrel just didn’t taste right.” A particularly ingenious line-up has him wielding his off-kilter fuzz-laden harmonies to bat clean-up on the midnight shift

an you imagine a better way to spend a night than listening to the comedy stylings of a man dubbed by Entertainment Weekly to be one of the 25 funniest people in America? Can’t? Well, don’t let Dave Attell know; he’ll probably rip you a new one, to delight of everyone else in the crowd. If you’re old enough to miss the days when men like Richard Pryor and George Carlin ruled the stage or just smart enough to loathe the type of comedy that has become standard, you won’t regret spending a night (or two, or three) watching Attell incite laughs in the sure-to-be-packed house at Helium. If that’s not enough to convince you, think back to how hard you used to laugh when you watched Insomniac on Comedy Central. That’s all the incentive you need.

“This is not a reunion. It’s not some dumb-ass nostalgia act,” proclaims Michael Gira regarding his decision to awaken Swans from their 13 year slumber. Formed in 1982, the group outlived the intentionally ephemeral no wave scene they are normally classified under, releasing 19 studio and live albums before 1998’s Swans Are Dead. Through gruesomely loud (concertgoers have reportedly vomited from the punishing decibel levels) and grinding dirges, they plunged headfirst and fearless into the darkest regions of the human experience: violence, Bataillean sexual acts, madness, misanthropy. Their new album, which is every bit as ferocious and singular as their past work, validates Gira’s proclamations. Swans are not dead. ELLiOtt ShARp 7:30pm. $21.

Eleanor Wilner’s work is—as the best poetry should be—unsettling. Her words describe a terrifying yet sublime state of being where the mythic and unknown shares space with the mundane and tangible. This installment of the Moonstone Poetry Series serves as a reception for Wilner’s latest volume, Tourist in Hell, out next month. The Philadelphia poet’s accolades are too many to list in full: She’s received MacArthur Foundation fellowships and Pushcart prizes, edited journals and taught at universities all over the world. And, of course, she’s published six collections of profoundly beautiful and spooky poems that double as cultural commentary. Wilner will appear with Mary Lynne Ellis, a Philly-area elementary school teacher who studies the positive effects of poetry on child development. A.J.

impairment of motor coordination and loss of good judgment,” according to the DSE chart. Jeff Two disagreed. “I feel pretty good,” he said, taking a drag off his cigarette. “I feel pretty coordinated.” In the “Operations” section of the owner’s manual—under the heading “Important!”— test subjects are encouraged to wait 20 minutes after eating, drinking or smoking. Failure to do so can provide inaccurate test results. This is among the reasons the Philadelphia Police Department doesn’t issue breathalyzers to its officers on the street. Sgt. Ray Evers, spokesman for the PPD, explained department policy. He said the Accident Investigation District is tasked with administering breathalyzer equipment. After an initial suspicion of DUI—based on how a driver behaves, what they look like, and if the officer detects the smell of alcohol—officers are instructed to notify a supervisor and bring the driver to headquarters, where an AID officer is on duty 24 hours a day to administer the test. Sgt. Evers said that portable breathalyzer units are only utilized in the field by AID personnel—and typically only at “checkpoints”—as the equipment “must be calibrated and requires specialized training.” PW tried not to let these operative guidelines affect our fieldwork. Kiley’s and Jeff’s friend Bryan, 29, practically begged to be breathalyzed. And, despite the fact that he was drinking a can of Beck’s from a paper bag, we let him. He blew a whopping .27 percent. But it was his Pinot Grigio-toting girlfriend who trumped all test results. After the test’s conclusion, boy and wine-box in her clutches, she hollered, “Yeah PW, we’re wasted!” n

Kiley, 26, was from out of town, visiting friends. During her night out tonight she’d had four beers and a couple whiskey and Cokes. That’ll do, we thought. We asked her to put her mouth on it and blow. She huffed. She puffed. She blew a .22 percent. PW recently obtained a BACTRACK Select S30 breathalyzer, and we wanted to use it. So we took it out on the streets of Philly and cajoled some drunks into letting us find out just how drunk they actually were. The sleek and portable S30—using “Advanced MicroCheck Technology”— detects the amount of alcohol apparent on the user’s breath and gives a numerical readout on a green, backlit, three-digit LCD display. Jeff, 30, was skeptical at first. He and Kiley had just walked out of The Foodery together on Second and Poplar streets in Northern Liberties. Only Jeff was so put off to the idea of field sobriety testing that he initially said his name was “Ricardo Retardo” and stormed off. After Kiley agreed to give the S30 a go—it reminded her of being tested for asthma—Jeff relaxed a bit, and gave in too. He’d just bought a six pack of High Life pounders from The Foodery for home consumption, but had already had, as he put it, “the equivalent of 10 beers” over the course of the night. He blew a .24 percent, and was surprised by the result. Given how lucid he felt, he thought he’d blow a zero. Despite tripling the legal limit for operation of a motor vehicle, Jeff’s mental faculties were intact enough to turn to Kiley and declare “I win” without a trace of a slur. Included with the box our BACKTRACK Select S30 came in were two AAA batteries and a 17-page owner’s manual. The booklet, along with detailing aspects of proper operation, contains a chart titled “Dose-Specific Effects of Alcohol” that pairs specific BAC read-outs with likely—or, perhaps, suggested—feelings. For instance, tooting a .02-.03 percent should result in “Slight euphoria. Loss of shyness. Depressant effects are not apparent. Impairment possible in some individuals.” In front of the Pub on Passyunk East in South Philly, PW ran into another Jeff— this one much more subdued. He’d had five PBRs, and blew a .12 percent, “significant

Bring body armor: Masami Akita’s electronic music has been described as “violent,” “brutal” and “alienating,” and in the still-evolving “noise” genre this is high praise. Performing as Merzbow since 1979, Akita has a gentle side, too: He’s an animal-rights activist, nominated by PETA as “sexiest vegetarian celebrity” in fact. And so the local vegan shop Grindcore House will sell food at his show, and provide all the free coffee you can drink. Philly’s own Charles Cohen will open with improvisations on the wicked-cool Buchla Music Easel, a rare item from the ’70s.

This weekend, Fleisher Art Memorial makes original artwork and philanthropy affordable for the recession-dogged masses. Offering tiny, anonymously exhibited originals on a first-come-first-served basis, the fourth biennial Dear Fleisher exhibit and sale strips the marquee-name hype and caviar-set exclusivity from the art-buying racket. No blue blood or even positive bank balance are required to own one of these baby originals at $50 apiece, they have miniature prices to match their itty bitty, 4-by-6 inch sizes. That’s about $2 per square inch—a bargain even in real estate. All proceeds will support Fleisher’s arts-education programs. It’s a rare opportunity to purchase an original, decorate your bathroom and fund the arts, all without spiraling into Chapter 11. L.S.

If you thought Envy frontman Tetsuya Fukagawa’s lyrical turn on “I Choose Horses” (from Mogwai’s Mr. Beast) was a departure, some reconsideration may be in order. These Japanese hardcore innovators are still capable of a good throat-grinding scream when necessary, but they’ve lately turned toward expansive postrock. A split last year with like-minded Jesu showed both bands reaching for serenity, though not without the occasional brutal onslaught. “A Breath Clad in Happiness” from the upcoming Recitation continues the trend, building pulse-pounding edifices of guitar, then touching a match to them in sporadic voice-shredding intervals of metal. Even in a contemplative mood, these guys are louder than God, so don’t forget your ear plugs. JENNifER KELLy

BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC bbc.co.uk/6music/
In an age where so much radio is white noise, where the mediocre, the mundane, and the banal are championed by brain-dead simpletons posing as DJs, and rigid formatting is the order of the day, 6 Music remains a constant source of unfettered joy. A free digital offshoot of BBC Radio’s main remit, it was almost closed down earlier this year after a sustained period of pressure by bureaucrats for the crime of being, well, not crap, basically. It’s everything that formulaic radio-by-numbers isn’t—ridiculously diverse, entertaining, intelligent, and packed full of oddballs and eccentrics. It’s not entirely without flaws—there’s still a little too much indie-by-numbers for it’s own good—but how can you not love a station that gives the saintly Jarvis Cocker his own two hour Sunday afternoon show and lets him play whatever the hell he wants, access to pretty much every John Peel live session recorded, play lists that take in everything from Cambodian psych-pop to heavy duty dub reggae and all points in between? The late Peel (whose eldest son, incidentally, has his own show each week) would have been proud.
NICK KENT
Apathy for the Devil (DaCapo)
Best known in this country for ‘97’s “Brimful of Asha” (and the subsequent Norman Cook big-beat remix), Cornershop have been quietly ploughing their own peculiar, whimsical pop groove for almost 20 years now. They continue to go from strength to strength and their latest album, Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast (Ample Play), which finally received a stateside release this summer, might just be their best yet. It showcases everything that makes them special—huge glittering Glam Rock riffs pilfered from Marc Bolan’s back catalogue, choruses that just don’t quit, found sounds and oddball samples, and a skew whiff sensibility that takes in the AngloIndian experience (echoing the literary work of Hanif Kureishi) and the retro-futurist pop suss of Saint Etienne. They’re a band to treasure and they’re playing the Trocadero in November.
NIK COHN
Tricksta: Life and Death and New Orleans Rap (Knopf)
September 22-28, 2010
•
Nik Cohn is a pop-culture gadfly and literary legend of sorts— his book Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom remains one of finest ever written on pop music and pop culture, and spawned a whole host of lesser talented copycats. He provided the inspiration for Pete Townsend’s “Pinball Wizard,” and wrote the short story that became Saturday Night Fever. And all before he was 30. His latest work is an engrossing examination of his adopted second home of New Orleans, in particular, the murderous underbelly that the Frat boys of Bourbon Street remain sheltered from. It’s the unlikely story of what happens when Cohn, an ageing, Fedora-clad, (extremely white) Anglo-Irish man—who just happens to be obsessed with New Orleans’ Bounce, and has a few industry contacts up his sleeve—drifts into becoming an unlikely player in the hip-hop game. It’s a heartfelt and humane, wonderfully written, and a beautifully observed portrayal of uneasy race relations, the cutthroat nature of the music business, and the constant hustle just to get by in the pre-Katrina Ninth Ward.

Need some seriously entertaining, highly salacious tales of 1970s rock ’n’ roll excess, moral degradation and a certain degree of intelligent hindsight by someone who manned the barricades? Then look no further than this, the memoirs of Nick The Dark Stuff Kent, the NME’s (back when it was the world’s best-selling music weekly), erstwhile in-house rock ‘n’ roll star and celebrity junkie, a man who embedded himself with the likes of the Stooges, the Stones and the Sex Pistols, and (barely) lived to tell the tale, who dated Chrissie Hynde (pre-Pretenders) and gave Malcolm McLaren musical direction and some much-needed career advice. A cautionary yet illuminating tale, and one that comes complete with a highly subjective, but immaculately chosen, musical guide to the decade, album by album.
CORNERSHOP
OK, so it’s not out until the end of October, but I must confess I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl at the prospect of the life and times of the Human Riff in his own words. It will almost certainly turn out to be a ludicrous ghostwritten piece of nonsense (although it’ll really have to go the distance to outdo fellow stone Ron Wood’s bio, the aptly titled Ronnie, which was an absolute master class in unwitting buffoonery), but that’s entirely beside the point. The point being it should—and no doubt will be—a wildly entertaining piece of ludicrous ghostwritten nonsense. It’s Keith Richards for fuck’s sake—the increasingly eccentric Peter O’Toole of rock, a raffish aristocrat, bon viveur and raconteur par excellence. A man who thinks nothing of plumbing the depths of inner space before breakfast, who is known in parts of Jamaica as “Jah Keef,” and who, to this day, cannot be killed by conventional weapons. Oh, and who just happened to have written one of the finest songbooks of the past century. Seriously, this could be second only to the Bible in terms of cultural and historical significance.

Fake Can Be Just As Good: John Coltrane By Rachel Stumpo
feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com
• John Coltrane was born Sept. 23, 1926, in Hamlet, N.C. His father was a tailor by trade, but played the ukulele, clarinet and violin in his spare time. His mother was a gifted singer and pianist. However, her own father’s belief that a woman should not leave the house until she was married kept her from ever making a career of music.
September 22-28, 2010
• Coltrane’s grandfather was a pastor and patriarch of the family; the only music Coltrane was familiar with was church music. He did not hear much jazz until he was 15. • After Coltrane’s father died, Coltrane’s mother moved to Philadelphia. Coltrane stayed in High Point, N.C. to finish school.
• 46
• Once he graduated high school, Coltrane joined his mother in Philadelphia where he began to take private saxophone lessons.

he wait is finally over, and it’s time for T another Fake Can Be Just as Good! Here’s the what what: We read a new music bio, tell you the important parts. You pretend you read the thing yourself, and impress friends and enemies during small talk with the information gleamed. This week, we dimmed down the lights and snapped our fingers in recognition of sizzling smooth saxophonist and jazz innovator John Coltrane and the new book, Coltrane on Coltrane: The John Coltrane Interviews (Cappella) by Chris DeVito. If you’re looking for stories of a strung-out musician loopy on narcotics and alcohol, this isn’t the book for you, as all of the interviews took place after Coltrane kicked the habit. Instead, you’ll find deep discussions about the technicalities of jazz and lots of repetitive information in this collection of teetering-on-boring interviews.
isobel campbell & Mark Lanegan
• Coltrane started writing his own music in 1948. • Coltrane went from playing alto to tenor, and finally to soprano saxophone. He stumbled upon playing soprano accidentally. • In 1958, a year after he got clean, Coltrane lived by the mantra; “Keep listening. Never become so self-important that you cannot listen to other players. Live cleanly ... do right ... you can improve as a player by improving as a person. It is a duty we owe to ourselves.” • Journalist Leonard Feather conducted an experiment called “The Blindfold Test.” Coltrane listened to seven albums and had to guess who playeded them. Of the seven, Coltrane identified six. • Coltrane’s large muscular built and sax playing, which was often described by critics as angry, made him an intimidating figure. People were often very surprised to find out how soft-spoken and shy he was. On sounding “angry,” Coltrane responded with, “Maybe it sounds angry because I’m trying so many things at one time, you see,
• Coltrane’s wife, Juanita, wanted him to move to New York City to expand his musical career. A humble Coltrane felt inadequate in the New York jazz scene and refused. One day, Coltrane came home to find his furniture and wife missing. All she left behind was a note that read, “If you want me, you can find me in New York.” • Coltrane’s biggest concern was connecting emotionally to an audience, which is why he preferred playing clubs over large venues. • On a slow night at a club with only four people present, Coltrane’s band talked about giving back the money to the owner and leaving. Coltrane went onstage, told the small, scattered audience to take a seat up front, and played for them for more than two and a half hours. • Due to loneliness, Coltrane kept a guitar in his room during his UK tour. He didn’t have aspirations to play, but felt that every instrument had a personality. He wanted to be kept company. • Coltrane became known for a method he called “the sheet of sound,” where he played three chords at once. • Coltrane died on July 17, 1967 of liver failure. n
op-topped crackhead Evan Dando wrote M an entire catalog of forgettable pop nuggets that laid heavy about the ‘90s and propelled him, however temporarily, into the public eye. He managed to crap out a couple half-baked semi-hits with his band the Lemonheads, and scored his biggest commercial success with a tepid cover of “Mrs. Robinson.” His catchy, over-simplified pop drivel was the perfect counterpoint for his douche-next-door good looks. Best of all, his spoiled-brat attitude made for one seriously grating trust fund kid of a rock star. Perhaps as punishment for our sins, Dando is touring once again, and bringing his once-crack-addled, Courtney Love-loving, mossy-faced, prep-schooled minstrel show right into your soul.

a smoked-blackberry balsamic syrup, which underlined the smoke in the mezcal and the mineral shimmer of the blanco tequila. Fresh lemon and housemade ginger beer contributed both literal and figurative sparkle. Desserts also hit where they needed to. Bread pudding arrived in a cast-iron dish that kept it warm and crisped up the edges even as we forked our way through. Ricotta doughnuts’ creamy interior was protected by an extrathick fried layer, and their dusting of cinnamon, sugar and ancho powder highlighted the cheese in the dough. Even lemon-scented creme brulee, so often the worst dessert on the list, was textbook and then some. Levin’s transition from the quiet, Rittenhouse-perfect environs of Lacroix to this louder, more overtly exuberant spot (though he and partner Kar Vivekananthan are installing panels on the ceilings to dampen Adsum’s acoustical issues) seems to have done him well. With Adsum, he says, he set out to cook “food that you could just sit down and eat your face off.” And drunk, stoned or stone-cold sober, that’s exactly what you’ll want to do here. n

for example, would have been successful even on its own. But with a spicy, avocado-slick green sauce (Levin’s take on a salsa verde) and the crackle of popped wild rice, the flavors flowed together into the taste equivalent of an old Electric Light Orchestra EP. Then there were the pierogies, miraculous half-moons of slippery pasta dough filled with an ethereal puree of potato, topped with butter-fried onions and plated with sporadic dollops of smoky buttermilk. The iconic Polish comfort food was brought up to date without losing its sense of identity—a brutally difficult trick to pull off. The options that didn’t hit every right note caused disagreement as a result of details Mellow melon: These juicy blocks of watermelon, pickled rather than overall conception. in a Kool-Aid brine, are a not-too-sweet delight in the heat.

Shrimp-salted whole black bass, “Unholy water” made fabulous use of MICHAEL PERSICO
The chef de cuisine of one of Jose Garces’ restaurants recently told Matt Levin that he was “cooking food for stoners” at Adsum. Levin says his thought was, “Well, good. That’s basically what I wanted. I wanted a restaurant that has food that’s approachable,” food that you would want to eat after work. Of course, with Levin, who made his name at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse with a menu ranging from classically inspired to mad-scientific, Adsum takes so-called “stoner food” to places it has never been before. Sweet, cool red and yellow slabs of Kool-Aid pickled watermelon were a hot-weather revelation, with density and juice to spare. The various brines subdued the notoriously synthetic powder’s sugariness, giving the fruit a chance to shimmer. Pickle juice also livened up the remoulade through which plump fried oysters were dragged, their crust crackling with hot-oil goodness. And tuna crudo arrived as a duo of preparations—a compact cube and a tartare, both enhanced by summery lemongrass, the exotic complication of miso and a unexpectedly raspberrybright sauce. Foie gras poutine, which has gotten its fair share of press already, is good enough to undo the damage that Celine Dion’s done to Canada’s reputation. While poutine is a lovable dish on an average day, Adsum’s version takes it up through several stratospheres of sin. It requires serious talent and vision to keep balance in a plate of crisp-edged duck-fat fries, two different gravies (redwine beef and foie gras), a Pollock of milky, fresh cheese curds and a perfectly portioned crown of foie, but Adsum’s

Six Belated Sequels
Something Fishy SPOILER ALERT: Whether Catfish is real or a stunt, it's not very fun. By Sean Burns
sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com
On the Road: Nev Schulman (above) filmed his own quest through the strangeness of social interaction over the internet, particularly with the mysterious Megan (below) and her family.
out there’s a devastating, fascinating story here, with deep reservoirs of heartbreak that remain untroubled by the central figure’s jerky nonchalance. Prankster street artist Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop still ranks as the best so-called documentary I’ve seen in some time, and there’s been way too much ink spilled trying to figure out whether that movie is the real deal. But whether it’s a hoax or not is immaterial, as the movie’s barbed message comes through loud and clear regardless. In fact, I think that the film works better if he faked it. Catfish has no such subversive point of view, though. This isn’t live. This is Memorex. n

And then comes the twist I’m not supposed to reveal. Most of Catfish feels fake, as if Schulman and his co-conspirators stumbled into a weird story and retroactively overcompensated by shooting bogus footage to make themselves look like suckers for the first hour. It’s impossible to imagine these sly twenty-something guys, glued to their iPhones with digital cameras at the ready, being taken in by such a grand, easily disprovable hoax. Of course they weren’t. Nev’s sexting with Megan is the most revealing copout I’ve ever seen. He can’t commit to the moment, knowing the deal from the start, and spends most of his time trying to cover his own ass and still seem appealing on camera. So what are we left with? The final 40 minutes of Catfish are indeed deeply sad, and the film becomes improbably moving in spite of its smarmy protagonist. Turns

Some, slippery slope of documentary-filmmaking though, take their sweet time, and not ethics, the problem with the 21st century always by choice.

Foreign fare destined to be remade by Hollywood don’t come more ready-to-go than Heartbreaker, a French comedy about a business that breaks up couples. Yes, that sounds a lot like the gimmicky central occupations in Failure to Launch and My Best Friend’s Girl, doesn’t it? All this needs is a speedy translation and the next thing you know we have our next Matthew McConaughey-Kate Hudson picture. Far more energetic than usual, Romain Duris heads the three-person company, first seen playing dashing tour guide to a vacationing lass as her loutish boyfriend ogles hotties at the hotel pool. Duris and company have a 100 percent success rate, which of course instills considerable doubt into their latest venture: busting up the impending marriage of a wealthy businessman’s daughter (Vanessa Paradis, hardly the ideal rom-com lead) and a boring British millionaire (Andrew Lincoln, boring). The film’s joke (its only joke) is that the action plays and is directed exactly like an Ocean’s [Number] entry, with the full extent of cutting-edge Mission: Impossible trickery used to do no more than bust up future marrieds. Pretending to be her bodyguard, Duris, along with conspirators, orchestrates the seduction with technology: Planted cameras and microphones give them constant surveillance and radio stations are sprung into existence so as to play Wham! at opportune moments. And lucky for you, Paradis’ favorite film is Dirty Dancing, meaning dance-offs and heady debates on the sexual animalism of Jennifer Grey. To its credit, most of Heartbreakers plays as a somewhat savage parody of rom-coms—until
P H I L A D E L P H I AW E E K LY
The new attitude about organized crime in and around the Mediterranean, historically hush-hush but now ever-so-slightly opening up (see: the book and movie Gomorrah), is in part thanks to Rita Atria. A 17-year-old Sicilian whose Mafia-connected father and brother were both rubbed out, she decided two decades ago to break the Omertà—the code of silence enforced by intimidation both latent and not-so-latent to keep people from turning rat. It was a simultaneously brave and reckless decision, as Marco Amenta’s calm docudrama sees it. Played as a young scamp by Mariana Faja and a perpetually sneering teen by Veronica D’Agostino, Rita is initially more about vendetta than justice. She storms into the offices of noted anti-mob prosecutor Paolo Borsellino (Gérard Jugnot) with a pile of diaries and notes and a brave disregard for her own safety, but she hasn’t fully thought through the possibilities for collateral damage. There’s her widowed mother, who joins the townsfolk in rebuffing her decision; as Rita winds up in witness protection, memorizing a new past, her letters and calls home go unanswered. Then there’s the life of the now extra-targeted Borsellino, with whom Rita forges an ad-hoc father-daughter relationship. And maybe she shouldn’t be starting that relationship with that nice boy. Not to say that The Sicilian Girl is down on Rita’s decision—Amenta also directed a 1997 doc on the subject, making him something of an expert, and he reports the story clear-eyed, but sympathetic to his self-made martyr. But this is just-the-facts-ma’am filmmaking. Perfunctorily shot with a gawky, unpolished lead who gets better as the film goes on, it cries out for a stylist, a filmmaker better at conveying Rita’s isolation and horrible loneliness, or even someone simply up for digging deeper into how mobs keep places like Sicily in lockdown. Instead, it gives you just the right amount of nuance and exploration to remain inter-

the O.R.? And the notion that society would accept human organharvesting with (we’re told) little to no ethical debate is preposterous, when even stem-cell research sends people into spasms. What Never Let Me Go does offer is an unnerving exercise in subjectivity. We only see what our three leads see, which is precious little. Their tragedy is that they’ve been intentionally underdeveloped as people; they know little of art outside of one random cassette tape and bad American sitcoms, and the film tries to mimic its characters’ state—something that
works in theory, but in practice is a one-note dirge. Director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) once made music videos (“Jeremy,” “Hurt”), yet his film is 80 percent shots of sad people standing around sadly. It’s literal-minded, pat, self-satisfied and light on thought; the realization that we all “reach completion” at one point or another would be more affecting had it not been put into climactic voiceover. And yet, doomed kids growing up without hope is still doomed kids growing up without hope. Not even a persistently goopy score can stop it from ruining your day. n

The high-concept premise of Kazuo Ishiguro’s bestseller Never Let Me Go, and its inevitable movie adaptation, is meant to be treated as metaphor—as a means of exploring ideas and themes rather than, you know, making cold, logical sense. Still, it’s hard to resist being a bit of a scrutinizing smart-ass. Set in an alternate present-day, the film’s doomed young heroes— played by current “It” girl Carey Mulligan, former “It” girl Keira Knightley and future Spider-Man Andrew Garfield—have a secret: Like the characters in Michael Bay’s The Island, they’ve been bred solely to be organ donors. As soon as they hit their mid-20s, they start losing vital body parts; by round three or four, they’ve “reached completion.” For starters: Has no one seen Logan’s Run (much less The Island)? While the protagonists are children, the rumors of the grisly ends in store for kids who escape to freedom might deter runaways. But would they still believe such tall tales into young adulthood, especially once they’re allowed to partially enter the real world and even get access to cars? (Cars!) How about just not reporting to
cally, as fake as every bit of Duris’ macking on Paradis. Or is it? Will the heartbreaker become the heartbreakee? Egads! While the ruse is still on, Heartbreaker is sprightly and slick enough to distract. And hell, at

I
’m a gay male and have been seeing a terrific guy for a couple of months. Two years ago, I had a threesome with a couple, and as it turns out, my boyfriend is very good friends with them. We see them socially and have even all had dinner together. Nothing has been mentioned by anyone, and I’ve never told my BF. I feel guilty—not because I slept with his friends, but rather because a threesome is inconsistent with his perception of me. Should I tell him? ThreeSome ComplICaTIoNS
Yes, TC, you should tell him. He’s going to find out eventually—this isn’t the kind of secret that keeps—and the revelation will be much more damaging if he finds out about it from the couple or from a malicious third (fourth?) party. And while a threesome may be inconsistent with his current impression of you, TC, that’s something he might be able to get over. He’s much less likely to get over the realization that you were keeping this secret from him or that you’re so stupid as to think that this kind of secret can be kept. And why are you so sure he would have a problem with it? Right now he’s operating under the assumption that his boyfriend isn’t the sort of guy who has threesomes. And you’re operating under the assumption that your boyfriend thinks threesomes are morally wrong. We know that his assumptions about you are wrong—you are the sort of person who has threesomes—so it stands to reason that your assumptions about him could be wrong. He may not have any problem with threesomes. Or foursomes. At a certain point in a new relationship, we have to bring our new partner’s perceptions of who we are in line with who we actually are. You’re the kind of person who can have a threesome and remain on good terms with the couple involved, TC, and that’s a selling point, something in your favor, and nothing you should be ashamed of. If your boyfriend regards these facts about you—can have a threesome, can remain on good terms—as negatives, well, then you need to DTMFA.

Another gay teenager in another small town has killed himself—hope you’re pleased with yourselves, Tony Perkins and all the other “Christians” out there who oppose anti-bullying programs (and give actual Christians a bad name).
Billy Lucas was just 15 when he hanged himself in a barn on his grandmother’s property. He reportedly endured intense bullying at the hands of his classmates—classmates who called him a fag and told him to kill himself. His mother found his body. Nine out of 10 gay teenagers experience bullying and harassment at school, and gay teens are four times likelier to attempt suicide. Many LGBT kids who do kill themselves live in rural areas, exurbs and suburban areas, places with no gay organizations or services for queer kids. “My heart breaks for the pain and torment you went through, Billy Lucas,” a reader wrote after I posted about Billy Lucas to my blog. “I wish I could have told you that things get better.” I had the same reaction: I wish I could have talked to this kid for five minutes. I wish I could have told Billy that it gets better. I wish I could have told him that, however bad things were, however isolated and alone he was, it gets better. But gay adults aren’t allowed to talk to these kids. Schools and churches don’t bring us in to talk to teenagers who are being bullied. Many of these kids have homophobic parents who believe that they can prevent their gay children from growing up to be gay—or from ever coming out—by depriving them of information, resources and positive role models. Why are we waiting for permission to talk to these kids? We have the ability to talk directly to them right now. We don’t have to wait for permission to let them know that it gets better. We can reach these kids. So here’s what you can do, GBVWS: Make a video. Tell them it gets better. I’ve launched a channel on YouTube— youtube.com/itgetsbetterproject—to host these videos. My normally camera-shy husband and I already posted one. We both went to Christian schools and we were both bullied—he had it a lot worse than I did—and we are living proof that it gets better. We don’t dwell too much on the past. Instead, we talk mostly about all the meaningful things in our lives now—our families, our friends (gay and straight), the places we’ve gone and things we’ve experienced—that we would’ve missed out on if we’d killed ourselves then. “You gotta give ’em hope,” Harvey Milk said. Today we have the power to give these kids hope. We have the tools to reach out to them and tell our stories and let them know that it does get better. Online support groups are great, GLSEN does amazing work, the Trevor Project is invaluable. But many LGBT youth can’t picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults. They can’t imagine a future for themselves. So let’s show them what our lives are like, let’s show them what the future may hold in store for them. The video my husband and I made is up now—all by itself. I’d like to add submissions from other gay and lesbian adults—singles and couples, with kids or without, established in careers or just starting out, urban and rural, of all races and religious backgrounds. (Go to youtube.com/itgetsbetterproject to find instructions for submitting your video.) If you’re gay or lesbian or bi or trans and you’ve ever read about a kid like Billy Lucas and thought, “Fuck, I wish I could’ve told him that it gets better,” this is your chance. We can’t help Billy, but there are lots of other Billys out there— other despairing LGBT kids who are being bullied and harassed, kids who don’t think they have a future—and we can help them. They need to know that it gets better. Submit a video. Give them hope. n

For Savage Love readers who don’t read anything else: Christine O’Donnell is the Tea Party wacko who won the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Delaware. She is famous for three things: getting her loony ass endorsed by Sarah Palin, viciously gay-baiting her straight primary opponent, and opposing masturbation because it makes the baby Jesus cry. I’m all for masturbating to Christine O’Donnell, HATEFUCK, but why limit it to one day? So I hereby declare every day between now and November 2—when O’Donnell’s nomination costs the GOP a Senate seat—to be Masturbate to Christine O’Donnell Day. Rub one out for freedom, people!

Notice to Parents According to state and federal special education regulations, annual public notice to parents of children who reside within a school district is required regarding child find responsibilities. School districts, intermediate units and charter schools are required to conduct child find activities for children who may be eligible for services via Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For additional information related to Section 504/Chapter 15 services, the parent may refer to Section 504, Chapter 15, and the Basic Education Circular entitled Implementation of Chapter 15. Also, school districts are required to conduct child find activities for children who may be eligible for gifted services via 22 Pa Code Chapter 16. For additional information regarding gifted services, the parent may refer to 22 PA Code Chapter 16. If a student is both gifted and eligible for Special Education, the procedures in IDEA and Chapter 14 shall take precedence.

Annual Public Notice of Special Education Services and Programs, Services for Gifted Students, and Services for Protected Handicapped Students
This notice shall inform parents throughout the school district, intermediate unit, and charter school of the child identification activities and of the procedures followed to ensure confidentiality of information pertaining to students with disabilities or eligible young children. In addition to this public notice, each school district, intermediate unit, and charter school shall publish written information in the handbook and on the web site. Children ages three through twenty one can be eligible for special education programs and services. If parents believe that the child may be eligible for special education, the parent should contact the appropriate Regional Office or Charter School Principal identified at the end of this public notice. Children age three through the age of admission to first grade are also eligible if they have developmental delays and, as a result, need Special Education and related services. Developmental delay is defined as a child who is less than the age of beginners and at least 3 years of age and is considered to have a developmental delay when one of the following exists: (i) The child’s score, on a developmental assessment device, on an assessment instrument which yields a score in months, indicates that the child is delayed by 25% of the child’s chronological age in one or more developmental areas. (ii) The child is delayed in one or more of the developmental areas, as documented by test performance of 1.5 standard deviations below the mean on standardized tests. Developmental areas include cognitive, communicative, physical, social/emotional and self-help. For additional information you may contact Elwyn SEEDS at (215) 222-8054. Evaluation Process Each school district, intermediate unit, and charter school has a procedure in place by which parents can request an evaluation. For information about procedures applicable to your child, contact the school, which your child attends. Telephone numbers and addresses can be found at the end of this notice. Parents of preschool age children, age three through five, may request an evaluation in writing by addressing a letter to Elwyn SEEDS at 4025 Chestnut Street, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Consent School entities cannot proceed with an evaluation, or with the initial provision of special education and related services, without the written consent of the parents. For additional information related to consent, please refer the Procedural Safeguards Notice which can be found at the PaTTAN website, www.Pattan. net. Once written parental consent is obtained, the district will proceed with the evaluation process. If the parent disagrees with the evaluation, the parent can request an independent education evaluation at public expense. Program Development
Confidentiality of Information:
For additional information related to student records, the parent can refer to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
•
This notice is only a summary of the Special Education services, evaluation and screening activities, and rights and protections pertaining to children with disabilities, children thought to be disabled, and their parents. For more information or to request evaluation or screening of a public or private school child contact the responsible school entity listed below. For preschool age children, information, screenings and evaluations requested, may be obtained by contacting Elwyn SEEDS.
September 22-28, 2010
School districts, intermediate units and charter schools maintain records concerning all children enrolled in the school, including students with disabilities. All records are maintained in the strictest confidentiality. Your consent, or consent of an eligible child who has reached the age of majority under State law, must be obtained before personally identifiable information is released, except as permitted under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The age of majority in Pennsylvania is 21. Each participating agency must protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information at collection, storage, disclosure, and destruction stages. One official at each participating agency must assume responsibility for ensuring the confidentiality of any personally identifiable information. Each participating agency must maintain, for public inspection, a current listing of the names and positions of those employees within the agency who have access to personally identifiable information.
P H I L A D E L P H I AW E E K LY
Once the evaluation process is completed, a team of qualified professional and parents determine whether the child is eligible. If the child is eligible, the individualized education program team meets, develops the program, and determines the educational placement. Once the IEP team develops the program and determines the educational placement, school district staff, intermediate unit staff, or charter school staff will issue a notice of recommended educational placement/prior written notice. Your written consent is required before initial services can be provided. The parent has the right to revoke consent after initial placement.
