Regarding the Sex and Sports section of last week’s Better than Best issue: Can you please lay off the constant harping on female sexuality. Please.

Enough. Enough of your nervous, giggly, childish coverage of pasties.

Enough about the burlesque. Cover—just once—one of the many amazing dancers in our city who keep their clothes on. Enough of trying to convince me that I should be taking classes to learn how to strip for my health.

Enough shoving the female form in my face, again and again and again.

Pages and pages, week after week. Your childish obsession with female sexuality does not encourage women to own and love their bodies. It teaches women to own their sexuality only as on object for men to view. Not enough to touch—but to VIEW. People say print journalism is dying. Save it. Inspire me. Connect me to the events, the moments that make this city great. Please, I am asking you. You can do better than cover “titties.” Can’t you?

BRENNA, via email Do you guys even watch Eagles games? Because, judging from your piece “The Best Reason to Boycott the Eagles,” it looks like all you do is take a look at the stat sheet and then try to talk like you actually watched the game. If you did spend any time watching the games, you would notice specific things. Like the fact that nearly all of Mike Vick’s interceptions are not his fault. They were results of Vick being hit while throwing, the ball being tipped at the line and receivers being unreliable. It’s not like Kevin Kolb, where he would look a linebacker in the eyes and throw it right to him. And speaking of Kolb, saying that Vick has not been much better than him is giving way too much credit to Kolb. Did you guys know Mike Vick is breaking records, both personal and league-wide, this year? And you say he is the team’s problem? Try watching the games before making judgements.

Passing Comment Regarding Tara Murtha’s obsession with reading Philly.com comments: I read these every day as well and usually I don’t make any comments because I can’t even begin to think about how to respond to some of the ridiculous things people will say. There is small group of frequent commenters who bring race into absolutely everything, even when there is no reason to. I remember a brief article about a woman being found dead in a courtyard in Center City. There was no other information than her approximate age and the time and location they found her. And people immediately started leaving comments about how it was “just more black violence.” The article never mentioned the victims race or even insinuated that she had been murdered. And it turned out she wasn’t murdered at all, she was homeless and had not gotten proper medical care. It’s almost like they were reading the news with the intention of saying something racist, like they woke up, got on the computer and said, “Well this is what I want to say today, now which one of these articles best supports my racist views?”

Maybe I will start commenting more, just to help balance the argument and help like minded people not feel intimidated out of saying what they think.

But it’s hard to know what to say when the arguments against you are baseless, illogical and just ridiculous.

HORTENSE, via philadelphiaweekly.com Thanks very much for writing this. What is often lost in discussion about the loutish commenters is the impact of their venom on unsuspecting innocent parties—regular Joes, subjects of our stories and columns. I try to remember to warn those who allow me into their lives, but sometimes forget and then feel lousy when they see what’s said about them. I’m a big girl who gets paid to take the shots, but everyday Philadelphians don't deserve to be punished and pummeled just for sharing their lives with our readers.

Capitol punishment: Activists recently gathered in Harrisburg to protest against new anti-choice legislation.

Morality Cause Abortion bill 732 is bad medicine.

Journalist Steve Lopez once wrote that Philadelphia is a city without pretense in a state without shame—and that was long before Harrisburg legislators stooped low enough to exploit murdered babies to push a bill into law that would result in what critics call a “back-door ban” on abortion in Pennsylvania.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

Periscopin’

By Tara Murtha tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com

The murders: Two women and hundreds of babies a grand jury report alleges died inside Kermit Gosnell’s now-shuttered West Philadelphia clinic.

The bill: SB 732, scheduled to hit the House floor since September, will force most, if not all, of the 20 freestanding abortion clinics in Pennsylvania to shut down if it passes without significant revision.

“Senate Bill 732 would simply hold abortion facilities to the same standards and regulations as all other health-care facilities that perform surgeries in Pennsylvania,” wrote Rep. Matt Baker (R-Bradford and Tioga counties), who serves as chairman of the House Health Committee, in a statement released last month. Baker is champi-

oning the bill in the House. “Our mothers, daughters and sisters deserve at least that much.”

Baker claims the bill is about medicine.

But really, it’s about morality.

SB 732 requires that clinics renovate their buildings to adhere to the architectural codes and staffing requirements of ambulatory surgical facilities (ASF).

These guidelines include renovations that are prohibitively expensive and/or logistically impossible, such as: doubling the square footage of procedure rooms and upgrading to hospital-style elevators.

In addition, new staffing requirements would require an RN in the room any time a patient is present. Most abortion clinics perform abortions one day a week; under new guidelines, clinics would need to pay an RN to be present for family planning services and routine gynecological care.

Pennsylvanians for Choice—a statewide nonprofit coalition of reproductive rights advocates—has concluded that if SB 732 passes, “most, if not all, of the 20 nonhospital-based clinics in Pennsylvania would either have to move or discontinue offering surgical abortion services altogether.”

Tellingly, SB 732 at one point included an amendment that called for a fiscal impact study to determine if it would indeed close clinics in Pennsylvania; the study was hacked out of the bill.

To distract from the real issues, Baker’s rhetoric centers provocatively on murder.

“This is about patient safety and preventing future cases of murder and infanticide within abortion clinics,” he wrote.

But architectural renovations at 3801 Lancaster Ave. would not have prevented Gosnell. He didn’t avoid detection because of a lack of laws—homicide, third-trimester abortion and drug trafficking are already illegal. He avoided detection because, as Gov. Corbett wrote in a statement released in the wake of his arrest, the Department of Health and Department of State weren’t doing their jobs. They weren’t applying laws and regulations already on the books.

“This doesn’t even rise to the level of government run amok,” wrote Corbett in a statement in response to the grand jury report. “It was government not running at all.”

Meanwhile, abortion is already a remarkably safe procedure. According to the Department of Health, physicians reported 47 instances of complication out 37,284 abortions performed in 2009—about .1 percent.

SB 732 isn’t about patient safety at all.

Critics point out that not one medical association supports it. In a letter of opposition, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists wrote that they “disagree vehemently” with the bill. “These additional requirements do nothing to increase patient safety ... and will serve only to diminish access to quality health care for women of the Commonwealth.”

More telling is the organizations that do support it: the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, the Pennsylvania Family Institute and the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation.

The Catholic Conference calls SB 732 a “significant pro-life proposal.” In a brief about SB 732 on its website, the Family Institute repeats that its mission is to “strengthen families by restoring to public life the traditional, foundational principles and values.”

At least these organizations are straightforward.

Not only is Baker’s rhetoric misleading about the content and expected outcome of SB 732, he’s disingenuous when he points to the Gosnell case as inspiration: The idea of mandating that clinics upgrade to ASF guidelines as a tactic to restrict women’s access to abortion was conceived years before the Gosnell tragedy. It’s ripped, quite literally, from the anti-choice playbook.

In a memo written in August 2007 and obtained by PW, prominent lawyer James Bopp Jr., counsel to National Right to Life since 1978, and Thomas Marzen, a deceased lawyer also well-known in the anti-choice movement, mandated ASF upgrades are listed in bullet points as ways to “advance … pro-life causes.”

Pull the curtains back a little more from

this carefully orchestrated bit of political theater and it’s easy to see that Baker isn’t working for women; he’s working for the Christian right. He just thinks we’re too dumb to realize it.

Baker didn’t respond to PW’s request for comment except to write, “I believe we are close to having an agreement by the Chambers and the Governor soon.”

Expanded hallways and new elevators at abortion clinics will not improve the health of women in Pennsylvania. Nor will legislators conjuring images of murdered babies and women distract from the fact that the Gosnell tragedy happened because of a failure of government, not a failure of law.

Abortion clinics in Pennsylvania are already heavily regulated. Those with labs on site—most do—must be inspected under the federal Clinical Laboratories Improvement Amendments. Abortion providers performing 100 or more procedures a year must be registered with Patient Safety Authority and comply with MCARE Act, which requires inspections. Abortions in Pennsylvania can only be performed by licensed physicians, regulated by the state’s Board of Medicine.

On top of that, there are the additional regulations Corbett implemented right after the grand jury report on Gosnell was released.

Yet, if SB 732 passes both chambers, Corbett is expected to sign the bill into law. Then, the relatively few clinics left in Pennsylvania (only 10 of our 67 counties currently have an abortion provider, according to the DoH) will likely close.

Experts are estimating if that happens, the cost of an early stage abortion will jump from approximately $350 to more than $1,000.

Calling SB 732 a “back-door ban” on abortion is no exaggeration. While middle-class women will be able to travel as far and pay as much as necessary to obtain an abortion, as usual, poor women will be disproportionately affected by the lopsided health care.

According to the grand jury report, Gosnell saw mostly poor patients from his neighborhood. Given the dire conditions of the clinic, presumably, these women didn’t know where else to go.

Baker and proponents of SB 732 are exploiting murder and the physical suffering of poor women in order to float a law that will make it harder for them to find access to safe abortion and health-care services.

While not everyone may agree on the morality of abortion—a legal, regulated medical procedure—we can all agree that the disingenuousness of this rhetoric is low and that targeting poor women is even lower.

With a hat tip to Steve Lopez, it’s frightening to think about just how shameless this state can get. n

Q&A with Lorene Cary, the School Reform Commission’s latest appointee.

Are you open to getting more revenue into the schools?

By Ada Kulesza akulesza@philadelphiaweekly.com a da ku l e s z a

W W W. P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY. C O M

cary On

strongly as possible, while at the same time trying to help them do more with less. And all the other challenges come from that, really.

Yes, of course. How to increase all the revenue streams there are, and to think of ways to increase not just revenue streams, but resources. Clearly the school district needs to scoop up every income possibility there is. And there’s already a lot of private money going to help.

Is it OK to place ads in schools or buses, which has become a new revenue stream for districts?

I don’t like ads inside the schools. But once again, I don’t get to say without talking to our whole team.

How has your work with the Art Sanctuary related to education?

It is about this art, all of it—music, dance—as almost a community curriculum that can be used in all kinds of ways.

One piece of music of Hannibal Lakumbe’s coming up, world premiere, this December. He’s the lynchpin for starting a program in the prisons, which is writing in a band in Philadelphia detention centers. The song will also centerpiece a curriculum for students who attend the premiere.

Day job: Lorene Cary brings an artist’s perspective to the School Reform Commission.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

On the third floor of the Art Sanctuary in South Philly, Lorene Cary fills a skillet with batter and pops it in the oven. The founder of the arts organization is making cornbread, answering emails, giving an interview and getting ready to head to a business breakfast downstairs. The Penn lecturer and nationally recognized novelist is busy, to say the least.

And today, she’ll start a new job—as School Reform Commission member. Appointed by Mayor Nutter a couple weeks ago, Cary joins the five-member commission that’s charged with running the city’s school district and managing its money, from awarding contracts for repairs or electricity, to divvying up materials like books and pencils. With a background as an educator and founder of an arts nonprofit, Cary doesn’t quite fit the mold (the other SRC appointees are lawyers, life-long civil servants and heads of schools), and she’s an even more bold choice given that most of her career, she’s been a writer.

But with four of the five commissioners resigning in the past year and budget cuts all around, some new blood might be just what the district needs.

We caught up with Cary to talk about her new gig, her background as an artist and how it all ties together.

• 10

What’s the work you’ll be doing with

the SRC? Every five-member team assigns different roles. Before we go into our first meeting, [we have to decide], what is it I bring to the table that’s different? I’m sure that one of my roles, that’s happening a whole lot, is listening. That might not sound professional or important, but I think that’s huge.

And then decide what to do with that.

Have you started work yet, in that respect?

I can’t tell you how many emails, how many people stop me in the street, how many people are saying to me, “Let me tell you what happened to my kid.” My daughter’s a teacher. My son was a teacher for four years. We have to help our children tell narratives that they can grow with.

Because we tell them all kinds of other narratives. We tell them deficit narratives.

We tell them what they don’t have. We tell them, “Don’t end up in prison.” Who the hell goes to William Penn Charter and says to kids, “Don’t end up in prison?”

What are the biggest problems that need to be addressed by the SRC? I think the biggest challenges of the SRC will be fiscal, and there’s no secret about that. To figure out a way to get through the school year with much less money than the district needs. That’s a fact. And for the SRC to support the school district as

You’ve mentioned the fine line between entertainment and art.

Do you think that’s an issue that comes up in teaching?

This is hugely important … how to teach hip-hop in the classroom. Teachers would say, “I didn’t grow up with Nas, I didn’t grow up with KRS-One. I hear stuff on television, or on the streets, and it’s bling, it’s allusions to murder. Tell me again, how is this going to be helpful in my classroom?” We have young scholars—I call them young, but they’re in their 30s—come in and talk to teachers, give them a sort of primer. Then you can do Zola Neale Hurston and Nas. Or you can do Emily Dickinson and—I’ll be mad at myself if I make a stupid example, but you see what I mean.

Why should we teach hip-hop?

Kids get it ... you can take one (genre) and sort of slide people into another.

Somehow you got to get in [the door].

One whole lesson in our hip-hop curriculum specifically talks about using criteria for determining beauty. Criteria for romantic poetry requires some statement of the pastoral. Criteria for hip-hop requires some statement of the urban.

(It’s not) just saying, “My stuff is good, but your stuff isn’t.” Which sounds to a lot of people like, ‘Mmm, straight hair is nice, but kinky hair isn’t. Thin noses are good but wide noses aren’t.’ Then you’re gone, now you’re lost, now you haven’t even talked about beauty. n

Occupiers Question Dilworth Plaza Plans After taking their protest to Penn last Friday, Occupy Philly protesters PhiLLy returned to City Hall just in time for “Transforming Dilworth Plaza,” a panel discussion hosted by the City’s Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy as part of DesignPhiladelphia.

Despite the intended focus of the event, only a handful of those in attendance had actually come to hear about the project’s many elaborate design aspects. Rather, protesters filled the room ready to propose that the project’s $50 million be spent on education, health and housing for the disadvantaged.

After Gary Steuer, the city’s chief cultural officer, introduced the panelists, Center City District President and CEO Paul Levy took to the podium and acknowledged the somewhat awkward circumstances.

With the exception of one indecipherable outburst at the very beginning, Occupiers sat silently and listened as Levy outlined the undeniably impressive renovations in store for the plaza (ice-skating rink!) as well as City Hall’s underground transportation hub.

When the mic was opened to the floor, most of the protesters remained cordial, giving kudos to the panelists and thanking Levy before they proceeding to tear into him.

One protester challenged him to take off his suit and travel through North and West Philly keeping track of how many vacant lots he sees. Another inquired if the snazzy cafe slated to be built where Occupy Philly’s food station currently stands would be able to feed hundreds of people a day for free.

Besides the overall issue of privatizing the public space for corporate gain, the main source of contention was, of course, money and just how much was coming out of the city’s pockets. Levy finally revealed that while the bulk of the project was funded by Obama’s stimulus program and SEPTA, the city is contributing $5 million.

According to Levy, between 500 and 600 union construction workers will be employed from mid-November through 2014.

Once completed however, there will be just 20 permanent maintenance positions—all paid for by the Center City District.

“Fifty million to create 20 permanent jobs … that really feels insulting to the city,” one protester noted before adding, “SEPTA has a lot of things wrong with it, but not having colored steam isn’t one of them.”

The last question brought forth was simple: “What does this do for the people of this city—not for tourists or for Center City jobs?”

Even though Levy had essentially spent the last hour justifying the renovation, nothing he said really mattered because, as he confirmed earlier, “This in no way minimizes any of the challenges that the city faces.”

Everyone was then invited downstairs to enjoy free booze and sushi. The Occupiers who joined didn’t seem to be bothered by the fact that it was on the city’s tab. (Nicole Finkbiner) n

tanding next to one of the grand archways that leads to the heart of City Hall, Diop Olugbala presents himself as the face of the masses of Philadelphians he says are being targeted by Mayor Nutter: young, black, mistreated, misunderstood, mischaracterized. “[Nutter] says we’re all thugs, ‘sperm donors,’ a ‘disgrace to our race,’” Olugbala seethes. The mayor, police and the city’s “ruling elite,” he says, “look at us and simply because of the way we look and dress and talk, they assume we’re criminals. Animals. Inarticulate.”

“But here comes someone who can duke it out with Nutter, and I can defeat all of his ideas,” Olugbala says.

In mid-August, the 34-year-old—flanked by a handful of advisors and supporters—stood outside City Hall and announced his independent candidacy for mayor, taking on Nutter and Republican challenger Karen Brown in a threeway race.

Olugbala says he’s running to stop Nutter’s all-out “war” on the city’s black and Latino populations. An assault that’s been marked, he says, by police brutality and the unfair, disproportionate criminalization of people of color; budget cuts that have decimated programs and services in the most impoverished areas of the city; and the withholding of real economic relief for those neighborhoods in favor of a bloated police “war budget.”

“Michael Nutter’s policies have been far more destruc-

tive to black people than [former mayor] Frank Rizzo’s,” says Olugbala. “His regime has stolen resources from us … People want to talk about violence, the so-called ‘flash mobs’? What about the violence of budget cuts? Nutter is responsible for the conditions that give rise to this violence.”

Conditions, Olugbala warns, that make a situation akin to this past summer’s deadly riots in North London a “scientific inevitability” here.

“If the city of Philadelphia goes up in flames, the ashes of this city will be on Michael Nutter’s hands,” he intones.

“I see it as my responsibility as a freedom fighter to step up and challenge Mayor Nutter for leadership of the city,” he continues. “History has shown that whenever we rise up, our demands are met.”

The self-styled revolutionary regards his candidacy not as waging a political campaign so much as leading an uprising of the poor and working-class. He insists he’s not just fighting for people of color, he’s here to pull the city back from the brink of destruction.

“Nutter’s policies are attacking sizable portions of the white community as well,” says Olugbala. “Budget cuts are affecting everyone who wants to go to a rec center, a career training program or a swimming pool.”

As Olugbala speaks, a pair of tattoos on either side of his neck peek out from the collar of his khaki military-style shirt—the kind of ink the mayor believes would prevent young black men from getting a job “cause you look like

you’re crazy,” as Nutter said during his infamous speech at Mount Carmel Baptist Church in August.

One tattoo is of a hand clutching a spear, red flames dancing from its tip: The logo of the Uhuru movement, the black liberation crusade to which Olugbala has devoted his life and whose positions inform his current political platform.

The other, in simple script, says “Serve the People”: A loose translation of the African name he adopted when he joined Uhuru a decade ago, leaving his birth name, Wali Rahman, behind.

If he wins on Nov. 8, Olugbala promises to serve the people of Philadelphia with wholesale changes. No stop-andfrisk. No youth curfew. A community control board with the power to fire and hire police. A drastically reduced police force—perhaps by as much as 80 percent—with most of the nearly $1 billion earmarked for police, courts and prisons (roughly one quarter of Philadelphia’s annual budget) reallocated for economic development and social services in poor neighborhoods. Vacant lots turned into urban gardens whereby people would feed themselves and create businesses selling their produce. Funding to charter schools slashed, with that money redirected to strengthening the public school system. Public school curriculum adjusted to provide mainly vocational training. Taxes dramatically increased on corporations and rich people.

Such policies, Olugbala insists, would unite Philly under shared prosperity, not further divide the city along race and

class lines. He reasons that his plan will lead to more jobs, less poverty, better education, skilled workers and healthier lifestyles, and therefore less violence and crime (and less need for police or jails). And the haves wouldn’t need to worry about an army of have-nots coming to burn down Center City.

“I’m talking about transforming the entire city,” Olugbala says.

Over the past two months, the Olugbala campaign has focused almost exclusively on areas it believes the message will resonate the most—North Philly, West Philly, Southwest Philly, but also parts of Center City.

There have been some roadblocks. Last month, a Philadelphia judge ruled that the name Wali Rahman must appear on the ballot, not Diop Olugbala, since Olugbala never legally changed his name. Olugbala appealed the decision, arguing that voters on the streets know him as Diop via his activism as president of the Philly chapter of the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM). But it didn’t work.

The campaign scrambled to change its literature to read “Wali ‘Diop’ Rahman,” while Olugbala blasted the decision in a hastily assembled news conference in front of City Hall, flanked by two supporters with duct tape bearing the words “Free” and “Speech” over their mouths.

“It’s arrogant,” says Olugbala. “The people of Philadelphia want a change. They hate Nutter, and they don’t know Karen Brown from a can of paint.”

Olugbala insists the people on the street know who he is, though, and that they take him seriously. “I can win this [election],” says Olugbala. “Don’t get it twisted. This is not symbolic. There’s a lot of people out there who support me.”

Tall, athletic and self-assured, he’s certainly a compelling presence. Though prone to the occasional grin, Olugbala mostly comes across solemn, contemplative and highly focused. When he gets on a roll, his resonant voice takes on the cadence and inflection of a practiced orator. It’s Malcolm X-like, although he says he’s his own man and that he’s trying to put policies before personality.

“I want to win the people not by dressing or talking a certain way or shooting a jump shot, as Obama has done, or as Michael Nutter has attempted to do by rapping ‘Rapper’s Delight’ in certain nightclubs,” says Olugbala. “It’s not about me; I want the working people to recognize that their interests are in my program.”

He’s confident they will.

“I would not run if I didn’t think I had a legitimate chance at becoming mayor of Philadelphia,” Olugbala says.

As determined as he is to lead the city, Olugbala’s lived

And earlier this month, Fox29 barred Olugbala from participating in the Oct. 7 televised mayoral debate between Nutter and Brown (taped on Oct. 4). A few days before the taping, Olugbala and a half-dozen supporters went to the station’s Market Street studios to protest and unsuccessfully deliver a letter demanding inclusion.

In the bigger picture, though, the odds of Olugbala actually taking Nutter down appear slim. He’s unknown to much of the electorate. He’s never held elected office before; he’s never even run for anything. His campaign has virtually no money. He won’t tone down his fiery message, or play the glad-handing game expected of most campaigning politicians.

Still, Olugbala likes his chances. To him, Nutter’s a vulnerable mayor with failed policies and an angry constituency— a Pew public-opinion poll issued earlier this year found, for example, that 47 percent of the city’s black population disapprove of the mayor’s job performance, compared with 42 percent who approve. Olugbala sees a mayor who barely seems to be campaigning. He thinks Nutter assumes reelection is a mere formality.

was innocent—and dishonorably discharged from the Army.

When he got out of jail a few months later, he split, plunging Olugbala, his mother and two sisters into a life of poverty.

Realizing his family’s struggle to obtain social services, as well as the same hardships going on in the local Mexican community, Olugbala says he “really started to understand what it means to be a black or Latino man in society. The ... problems in the black community come from a separation from resources.”

A good student before the family upheaval, Olugbala says he developed a rebel streak and struggled to finish high school. “When you’re stressing about how you’re gonna eat, school doesn’t seem that important,” he says. He considered following some of his friends into the Army, but at his mother’s urging he enrolled at the University of Texas in Austin under an affirmative action program. A couple years prior, four white students who had been denied admission to the University of Texas law school sued the college for reverse discrimination. In 1996, Olugbala’s freshman year, a federal judge ruled in the students’ favor, banning the school from using race as a factor in admissions.

Incensed, Olugbala joined the campus Anti-Racist Organizing Committee and participated in marches and

“We need an alternative; Someone who’s really going to serve the people.”

here only since 2007. But he insists he understands the dynamics of Philadelphia, and says his whole life has led him to this moment.

Born in Brooklyn, Olugbala lived a nomadic childhood.

His father was in the Army and the family moved from state to state and base to base before finally settling down in El Paso, Texas. Numerous forces shaped his politics and worldview: His parents, both one-time members of the Nation of Islam, taught him about Malcolm X and the Black Panthers; so did the lyrics of rap groups Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions.

Watching news of the 1985 MOVE bombing in West Philly, which infuriated Olugbala’s parents, and the Rodney King beating and subsequent L.A. riots had a major impact, too.

“Black youth, no matter where we were in the country, could identify with what we saw in Rodney King—the hostile relationship the system has with us,” he says.

The family was living a fairly comfortable, middle-class existence. But when Olugbala was in his mid-teens, his father was arrested and jailed for theft—Olugbala insists he

demonstrations—at one point joining in an occupation of the Tower administration building for a few days—but to no avail (the decision was eventually overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2003).

“That was more or less my introduction to activism,” Olugbala says while sitting at a table outside Atiya Ola’s Spirit First Foods in West Philly. “It was a real teaching moment for me. It told me that the government works in the interest of the white community at the expense of the black community.”

After graduating with a degree in linguistics (and AfricanAmerican Studies), Olugbala moved back to Brooklyn and got a job as a union organizer with the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Workers (U.N.I.T.E.). “Reading about socialism and Marxism, I wanted to contribute to putting power in the hands of working people,” he says. For two years, he traveled around the country organizing union shops. And then he came in contact with the Uhuru movement, which is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla. Uhuru effectively launched in 1972 when black radical activist Omali Yeshitela founded the African People’s Socialist Party. Over the past four decades, Uhuru has denounced capitalism, white imperialism, widespread police brutality against the black community, and the exploitation of black workers. They’ve railed against “neo-colonialist” leaders like Barack Obama and, yes, Michael Nutter, who they accuse of confusing people of color into voting for them when they actually serve white interests. They’ve demanded slavery reparations and the right to community controlled schools and social services in the name of black self-determination.

They’ve called for the immediate release of Mumia AbuJamal. And they’ve made headlines around the country for leading demonstrations against police shootings of black men by white cops, calling the incidents “murders” or “assassinations.” To their followers, the cause is nothing but righteous. To their critics, they’re little more than a hate group. “That’s how [critics] try to pigeonhole you when your views challenge the status quo and the interests of those in

power,” says Olugbala.

In 2001, the then-23-year-old Olugbala attended InPDUM’s national conference in St. Petersburg and listened to Yeshitela speak. “That changed my life,” he says. “It gave me a way to understand every issue facing the black community in a much more holistic way.”

During a visit to Philadelphia last week, Yeshitela, 70, recalled the young Olugbala being committed to Uhuru from jump. “For a long time we’ve seen young black people stray from meaningful progressive political activism, but Diop was different,” says Yeshitela. “He was obviously passionate, deeply concerned about workers and African people. I was very impressed by him.”

With newfound belonging and purpose, Olugbala soon quit his union job to become a full-time organizer for InPDUM, which sent him to different cities to establish Uhuru chapters. Back in Brooklyn for a spell—where he was doing InPDUM work and rapping under the moniker “Africa’s Trigga”—Olugbala made news in the spring of 2004 when he led a protest against the police killing of unarmed 19-yearold Timothy Stansbury on the roof of the Louis Armstrong projects in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Stansbury, by all accounts a good kid who was taking a shortcut home across the roof of the projects, allegedly surprised a patrolman who shot him once in the chest. Though an NYPD investigation found “no justification” for the shooting, a grand jury ruled the incident an accident.

Bullhorn in hand, Olugbala led a contingent of outraged residents to the nearby 79th police precinct, where they demanded an end to rooftop patrols and that the city rename the stretch of street going past the projects “Timothy Stansbury Avenue.” The city acquiesced on both counts.

“That was really significant, seeing that when you struggle sometimes you can win,” says Olugbala.

in Frankford by a retired police officer who was working as a pizza delivery man—the PPD said Jones was trying to rob the ex-cop when the shooting occurred—Olugbala met Alberta “Nanny” Twyman, grandmother of Daniel Giddings, the 27-year-old paroled convict who gunned down Sgt. Patrick McDonald after a traffic stop before being killed by another officer.

Twyman denies that her grandson killed McDonald.

“People told me it was other people with guns who got on a bus,” she says. “[Officers] told him seven days before they killed him that they were gonna kill him,” says the 68-yearold. “Nutter tried to make my grandson into a monster.”

Olugbala sympathized with Twyman, and made public statements doubting whether Giddings actually shot McDonald and suggesting that if he did, it was justified.

“Diop got a lot of death threats for that,” says Harris Daniels, 31, a longtime member of the African People’s Solidarity Committee (a group comprised of white Uhuru allies like himself) and press secretary for the Olugbala campaign.

“But we’re not going to stop standing up for the black community, regardless of how unpopular that might be.”

“I stand by everything I said [about Giddings],” says Olugbala.

Olugbala and Twyman developed such a bond that Olugbala has been living at her Germantown house for the past three years. “He’s a strong, hardworking young man,” Twy-

In 2007, InPDUM sent Olugbala to Philadelphia—a city,

according to Yeshitela, that’s teeming with oppressed minorities and “has been scarred in its recent history by an atrocity committed against black people with the bombing of the MOVE house and the incineration of an entire community.”

Olugbala immediately got to work building up a chapter on Lancaster Avenue and leading small protests against the policies of Mayor Street, then Nutter. “Part of what I learned early on as an [InPDUM] organizer is the need to always agitate around issues,” says Olugbala.

Agitate he did. In December 2008, Olugbala barged into Nutter’s town-hall meeting at Ben Franklin High School to deliver a subpoena for an InPDUM tribunal charging Nutter and city officials with “crimes of genocide against the African community.” Nutter didn’t show up for the proceedings, where he was ulimately “convicted.” Two months later, Olugbala showed up to another town-hall meeting to hand Nutter the guilty verdict, which included demands for immediate reparations to black and Latino communities.

He was thrown out by a civil affairs officer. The following month, Olugbala and other InPDUM members attended a City Council meeting where the mayor was unveiling his budget. Olugbala unfurled a sign that read “Throw Nutter in the Gutter” and he and others began shouting at the mayor.

Olugbala says the same officer that tossed him from the town-hall meeting grabbed his sign and put him in a choke hold. A scuffle broke out, and Olugbala and another Uhuru member were arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Following a trial in August 2010, Olugbala was found guilty and sentenced to two years’ probation.

“I’m a political target of Nutter, [Police Commissioner Charles] Ramsey, and [District Attorney] Seth Williams,” Olugbala says of the conviction. “It reinforced my understanding that Philadelphia is being run by a triad of criminals.”

Also in late 2008, after leading a candlelight vigil to protest the shooting death of 14-year-old Shareef Jones

man says proudly. “He stays up late at night. I can hear the pitter-patter back and forth upstairs all night long.”

But aside from the polarizing nature of his politics, life in Philly hasn’t exactly been easy for Olugbala. He says he hasn’t received “one penny” from the Uhuru movement for his decade of work. “It’s not as if I’m on some salary for being a grassroots organizer,” he says. “I knew that going in.

They don’t really have the resources to provide me with a stipend.”

Instead, he’s relied on the generosity of others, as well as a monthly welfare check and food stamps. He says it’s enough to survive.

“I get welfare, I get food stamps, I have four children and they’re taken care of,” says Olugbala. “I keep it real. People

want to know that you’ve experienced the same struggle they do.”

“I live this,” he says. “That’s why I have an interest in the realization of my program, not only for myself but my family and my neighbors and my people. Michael Nutter does not live this. He doesn’t understand.”

On a recent Monday night, Olugbala, Daniels and about eight supporters were packed into a tiny Africana shop on Lehigh Avenue in North Philly for a campaign strategy session. Everyone listened as independent political consultant Earl O’Neal—up from D.C. for the meeting—delivered a PowerPoint presentation demonstrating, he explained, just how vulnerable Nutter really is.

Up came the election results from the 2007 and 2011 Democratic primaries, broken down by ward, showing significant drops in total votes Nutter received in numerous pockets of the city this year compared with four years ago.

O’Neal says the numbers suggest voters refused to back Nutter out of dissatisfaction with the way he’s handled his job.

“If there was a better candidate [than Milton Street] they would have won,” O’Neal asserts, urging Olugbala to focus campaign efforts in Philly’s disaffected minority neighborhoods.

“Nutter’s strategy is to make this a nonelection,” says Chimurenga Waller, the 60-year-old Olugbala campaign manager (and younger brother of Omali Yeshitela), who’s up from St. Petersburg. “What he’s trying to do is keep a 15 percent turnout. If he does that, he wins the election ... But if you energize voters, you can create a different outcome as long as you have an incumbent who’s coasting.”

“I’m hearing quite a lot of anti-Nutter sentiment out on the street,” he adds, “but I don’t know whether or not that’s gonna translate into votes.”

Out on the campaign trail, reaction to Olugbala’s appearances, speeches and fliers has ranged from agreement to amusement to bewilderment to outrage.

In August, when he led some 60 supporters on a spirited nighttime march down South Street to protest the curfew instituted to combat youth mob violence—sandwiched between speeches where he called Nutter, Ramsey and Williams the “Uncle Tom trio” and characterized youth engaging in violence as “freedom fighters”—he garnered both smiles and scowls, cheers and middle fingers.

Midday one afternoon at Dilworth Plaza next to City Hall—where Olugbala was a regular presence until Occupy Philly took over the space—a few curious people stopped as he railed against the PPD while his supporters held signs reading “Phila Police Are The Flash Mob” and the campaign mantra, “Economic Development Not Police Containment.”

A nearby bike messenger nodded his head, but one older white man in a suit, handed a flier by one of Olugbala’s supporters, listened for a few minutes with his mouth agape, crumpled up the flier, threw it on the ground and stormed off, muttering, “This guy’s a fucking nut.”

And outside a church in Grays Ferry one recent warm night, where he was hosting a youth conference—attended by about 40 people—designed for kids to express their concerns about the curfew and the education system, Olugbala presented his stump speech focusing on Nutter’s “racist and Draconian” curfew (a perspective recently adopted by Philadelphia’s Green Party, which calls the curfew “the new Jim Crow”) and stop-and-frisk policy. Many applauded loudly, but an older black man named Wally stood up, announced that he was a Nutter supporter, and said that he had no problem being stopped at random by police if that meant a safer city. “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about,” the man insisted.

“I seriously doubt he’s ever been stopped by the police in South Philly,” Olugbala says afterward. “Not only is there a problem with being stopped illegally by the police for stop-and-frisk, any interaction with the police can result in death. That’s real for black people in this city.”

“Stop-and-frisk doesn’t even work,” Olugbala continues, citing the federal class-action lawsuit filed against the city last year by the ACLU on behalf of eight black and Latino Philadelphia men who claimed they were stopped and frisked based solely on their race. The suit, which was settled out of court in June, revealed PPD data showing that “of all of the 2009 [stop-and-frisk] stops, only 8.4 percent led to an arrest, and the majority of these arrests were for alleged criminal conduct that was entirely independent from the supposed reason for the stop and/or frisk in the first place.”

“They know it doesn’t work, and yet they continue to spend hundreds of millions on all these cops just to harrass us ... when they should be pouring that money into economic development for our community instead,” says Olugbala.

“If that’s not racist, I don’t know what is.”

Nutter bristles at that accusation. “We go after criminals regardless of color,” he tells PW. “We deploy our police based on where crime is, not based upon the race of people in a neighborhood.”

Sheila Simmons, director of communications for the Nutter for Mayor campaign, flatly rejects Olugbala’s assertion that Nutter doesn’t care about the city’s minorities. “The mayor believes that almost everything he works on and pushes forward seeks to positively impact the lives of people of color and those who are poor,” she says.

Simmons brings up the mayor’s 2010 “Inclusion Works” program, which, among other things, has allocated funds for a 25 percent increase in the number of minority-, women- and disabled-owned businesses in Philly by the end of 2011, and mandated that participation for the same group in city contracts must increase from last year’s rate of 18 percent to a goal of at least 25 percent (those groups were awarded $214 million, or 22.4 percent, of the total $956 million in city contracts in 2010).

She also touts Nutter’s “Way To Work Philadelphia!” youth job-creation program; his reconstituted Mayor’s Commis-

sion on African-American Males; the $1 million put into the Mayor’s Commission on Literacy; and several new lowincome housing developments, markets and business sites planned or currently under construction in disadvantaged areas of the city that would also provide jobs for those areas.

“To put forth a Band-Aid and pretend that’s some kind of cure, that’s not positive,” Olugbala counters. He believes the massive redistribution of funds from the police budget to disadvantaged communities—in the form of business grants, residential and commercial development, and increased social services—is the ultimate cure for poverty, unemployment, crime and Philly’s other crippling ills.

But to some who’ve caught wind of his platform, Olugbala is simply too radical: Eviscerating the police budget. Instituting total community control of the police force. Creating a community school board with the power to hire and fire teachers. All but eliminating the city’s charter schools.

Boosting taxes on the rich to help feed the poor. All of this reinforced by his belief in the Uhuru principles and tactics.

“He and I have some common ground, we do need to give more resources to disadvantaged neighborhoods,” says Karen Brown, the Republican challenger. “But [Olugbala] goes way too far. We need more police on the street, not less.”

“What’s radical about demanding economic development for a community as opposed to flooding a community with a standing army called the police?” Olugbala asks.

On a recent Saturday afternoon in West Philly’s Clark Park—site of the popular, long-running monthly flea market that exists as a Uhuru fundraising venture—some of the movement’s supporters downplayed the group’s extremist reputation as Olugbala walked around shaking hands and handing out campaign fliers.

“Uhuru is moderate,” says 51-year-old Louis Fornwald, a white man whose wife is black. “We honestly just try to work for justice and bring people together.” The Fornwalds’ son Milo was shot and killed by a PPD officer in South Philly

in 2003 when police tried to apprehend the 20-year-old after an alleged drug deal. Fornwald—who says his son was innocent and provides a PPD memo stating that the officer who shot his son “did not discharge firearm according to departmental policy”—got involved with the Uhuru movement after they showed up to protest the killing.

Fornwald says Uhuru is considered extremist because, “you know Philly—it’s kind of a prejudiced town, and any kind of group like this is ‘scary.’” A perception that definitely spells trouble for the Olugbala campaign. “People find out he’s with Uhuru, it sets off the scary meter and he might as well be in the New Black Panthers,” says Fornwald.

For his part, Olugbala insists that if he wins the election, he’ll be everybody’s mayor. “I make no apologies for saying that I represent the historically oppressed black and Latino communities in the city. But I also see it’s in the interests of everyone in the city—white, black or whatever—to unite with the struggle to empower the disadvantaged,” he says.

“Why would it be such a threatening thing to a rich white lady who lives in Rittenhouse Square for me to demand economic development and the opportunity for others to enjoy the same comfort of living that she does?” he adds.

“When black people say, ‘We want self-determination and we have to have economic development,’ for some strange reason sometimes that makes white people feel like, ‘Well, that means you’re going to do something to me,’” says Waller, the campaign manager. “We never say we’re going to do something to you. We say, ‘This is what our community needs.’ Why should that scare you?”

Back outside City Hall, Olugbala says that the only thing that scares him is four more years of Nutter. “If we allow him to get in there again,” he says, nodding toward the building, “we can expect a lot worse than what we’re getting right now.”

“We need an alternative,” he says. “Someone who’s really going to serve the people.” n

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Why is Tom’s Wife Smiling?

2037 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19103

And the simple trick he used to help him perform like a 20 year old! Without drugs, pumps, or embarrassing doctor visits.

215-561-1071

By, Stefan Rothler; Freelance Health Writer;

Mon. - Fri. 10:30 - 9 Sat. 10:30 - 8 • Sun 12 - 5

If you’re like Tom, you know how frustrating it is when you can’t “Stand Up” for yourself. Especially in the bedroom! And even though your wife tells you “its okay”— she secretly wishes you weren’t such “a softy”. For your sake and hers.

Tom’s Story:

Tom M. had a big problem. His love-life was “coming up short”. And like a lot of men his age, he had a tough time “performing” in the bedroom.

But Tom’s wife was kind. She reassured him with words like “it’s no big deal”--- but it really was. So she urged him to get some help. He took her advice…

Tom searched the web for answers, and came up with nothing but scams. Everything he tried failed. He thought about asking his doctor about that well-known “little blue pill”.

But it was way too expensive (as much as $30.00 per tablet).

Plus, it doesn’t work for 32% of all men who try it. And according to its warning labels you could wind up deaf, blind, or even dead! It’s just not worth the risk.

The Secret of the Adult Film Industry

And by age 60, you’re left with a fraction of the HGH you used to have. The signs of aging become impossible to ignore... narrower shoulders and more weight around the middle... thinner skin that loses elasticity... creases and wrinkles... aching joints and brittle bones... all signs that your body is gradually breaking down.

Add to that, decreased desire and ability and a loss of muscle tone that leads to a dangerous loss of agility and balance. But none of this has to happen...

Secret of The Rich and Famous

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

As Tom continued his research, he came across something unusual. He read that male actors in the adult film industry use something called “Herbal Virility”. Before filming, the actors would pop one of these tiny pills in their mouth--- so when the director yells “action”- there’s always plenty of it!

It’s been the secret of adult film producers for years! That’s because instead of taking a full-hour for it to work, Herbal Virility starts giving you “solid, long-lasting results” almost immediately after you take it --- no waiting!

Tom was excited to try it. After all, Herbal Virility helped thousands of men get back their confidence in the bedroom.

And since its all-natural Herbal Virility is a lot safer than drugs.

There are no pumps to hassle with, no embarrassing doctor visits needed and it’s surprisingly affordable. Plus, it’s based on Nobel prize-winning research...

Here’s How It Works:

In 1998, three scientists shared a Nobel Prize for discovering that the chemical compound nitric oxide (or NO) plays a vital role in widening your blood vessels so blood flows more freely... especially in the “intimate areas” of your body.

When you’re young, nitric oxide flows abundantly through your body. Unfortunately, as you grow older, your NO production starts to diminish. As a result, so does your love life.

That’s why Herbal Virility is so important.

Just pop a Herbal Virility into your mouth. Its proprietary formulation has no bitter taste and dissolves quickly into your bloodstream.

Herbal Virility contains all 25 of the most potent natural male enhancement boosters on earth. It helps kick-start

All That You Can Imagine

your body’s natural ability to produce nitric oxide on its own.

So you’re ready for action when you want it --- and as often as you want it. You’ll get a “big boost” of confidence in the bedroom. And your wife will be so excited she may wake up the neighbors!

Rave Reviews Coming in Everyday

Most men, who experience Herbal Virility’s firm results, can’t get enough of it. Here’s what people are saying...

W. Pritchett II of Newport News, VA, tells us; “After I turned 52, I couldn’t get it to work. I thought my fun was over. But now, thanks to Herbal Virility I can heat things up in the bedroom anytime I want to.” Please send me another 6 month supply!”

Melissa M. of Key Largo, FL reports; “Herbal Virility saved our marriage! What a difference it made in my husband. He’s like a new man! All I can say is WOW!”.

Philadelphia’s Premier Head Shop Established 1974.

Home of the city’s largest selection of smoking accessories, specializing in high quality glass.

Not Available in Stores

The demand for Herbal Virility has been overwhelming.

And until now, there just wasn’t enough of it to go around.

That’s why the makers of Herbal Virility are limiting its supply to newspaper and magazine readers only.

Herbal Virility is amazing. Men who try it can’t seem to get enough. But to really understand why, you have to try it for yourself. That’s why the makers of Herbal Virility asked us to “spread the word” by offering our readers a full-month supply, at a super-discounted, “readers only” price.

Try Herbal Virility Risk-Free...

Plus a 1 Year, Money-Back Guarantee

See for yourself. You have a whole year to decide. Here’s our guarantee; “If Herbal Virility doesn’t give you back your desire, your stamina --- and get you “interested” whenever you need it --- you won’t have to pay a dime. You have a full year to make up your mind. Either you’re absolutely thrilled with Herbal Virility… or you get back every red cent!

alloween offers an ideal occasion for Gender Reel to celebrate the remarkable fluidity and diversity of Philadelphia’s transgender community. It’s the one time of the year when everyone is encouraged to play dress-up and give free rein to their imagination, so this version of the quarterly event, which raises funds to support a local transperson’s gender reassignment surgery, should elicit extra creativity from all involved. Queer burlesque artist Miss Mary Wanna hosts the bash. Given the zaftig cutie’s self-proclaimed love of sequins, glitter and feathers, you can be certain she expects attendees to put some flair into their costumes.

The lineup is a veritable fall harvest of local queer and transgendered talent, including drag diva Dynasty; the lo-fi noise aggression of EX. By V.; and spoken word from poet Jane Cassady. To top off the night, the indefatigable ladies of local sex-positive education troupe ScrewSmart will debut a new routine. Proceeds from the event benefit Evelyn Manlove, a multi-disciplinary artist working primarily in sound, who spins deep tracks under the moniker DJ evil v. rAyMond siMon Fri., Oct. 28, 9pm. $5-$10.

Screaming Babies Comedy There’s no question that Philly’s indie comedy scene is alive and burgeoning like never before and that Dan Eastman of the ‘Screaming Babies Comedy Night’ has become something of a patron saint of the ha-ha. The night lives within the walls of the former Vesuvio’s establishment in South Philly, where half-assed Italian food and paltry DJ nights have been replaced by an honest-to-god talent showcase with the dusky, dark cool of a speakeasy. Tonights lineup is heavy on the snicker with stand-ups like Alex Perlman, Jaime Fountaine, Mykal Carter-Jackson and ‘Hot Topics’ with Jason and Steve.

E6 has been kicking out its tongue-in(ass)-cheek disco/cock-rock—I once described them as “Spinal Tap faking their way through a Village People convention”—for well over a decade, issuing an album a year and touring nonstop. By totally rocking out totally ironically, they manage to make both hipsters and bros happy, which certainly maximizes their income potential. MichAel AlAn goldberg 8pm. $15.

Open Video Call

• 22

As the Philadelphia Film Festival showcases independent films generating festival buzz this week, Open Video Call at the ICA will feature the lesser-known films that comprise the area’s vibrant underground, experimental film scene. The juried films of area artists were selected by local curators from the ICA, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Vox Populi and Little Berlin. As with any open call, quality will vary from lo-fi, grainy film to high-definition digital production. But the element of mystery is what enhances the excitement of the only curated open call exhibition of film outside of a festival setting this year.

In addition to the selections a video by Alex

Chuck Prophet Chuck Prophet was one of the leaders of California’s early ’80s “Paisley Underground” with his Bay Area psych-rock band Green on Red. When they broke up in the early ’90s Prophet went solo, releasing 10 albums in the intervening two decades. While roots rock is a handier description than singer-songwriter, Prophet nonetheless has a splendid feel for songcraft, enriching his Neil Young-ish country-rock predilections with soulful heartland rock swagger and hooky indie pop shimmer. There’s candor, wit and intelligence behind his songs that recalls Ray Davies and Warren Zevon. When not adding to his current string of terrific releases, Prophet’s co-written with Alejandro Escovedo, who’s contributed heavily to his last two albums. chris PArKer 8pm. $20. With Ben Arnold.

Pinktober Hard Rock Cafes around the world have created their own movement to fight breast cancer. Pinktober brings together live music and a pink-themed merchandise line to raise money for the cause. Tonight, Philadelphia’s Hard Rock hosts a fashion show featuring designs from Christine Phillips, Duke Winston and student designers from the Art Institute. The styles will be available for purchase through a silent auction. Misstallica, the world’s only all female Metallica cover band, will be rocking out to keep the party poppin’. All the money from ticket sales will be donated to the Young Survivor Coalition of Greater Philadelphia which helps breast cancer survivors under 35. brendA hillegAs

the public (as oppose to just your Facebook friends) and maybe even make some cash in the process. For the second year, the Photo Arts Center is inviting city residents to capture a day in the life of Philadelphia using any kind of camera they own. The only rule is that the photo has to be taken within city limits. Once you’ve picked your best shot, you can upload it to PPAC’s website, where it’ll be printed then hung inside their gallery.

During the exhibition’s opening reception in November, every photo will be available for purchase for $25. If your work sells, you’ll get a cut of the money and more importantly, the satisfaction of knowing it’s hanging inside someone’s home. nicole FinKbiner All day. Free.

Boris Music scholar Julian Cope followed his classic book Krautrocksampler with Japrocksampler in 1997. Charting the rise of Japan’s psychedelic-rock scene, Cope shed light on groups like Flower Travelin’ Band and Magical Power Mako that led the country’s mysterious rock rebellion in the 1960s.

Boris, a 9-year-old Japanese trio that serves gargantuan electric riffs and throbbing noise, represent Japrock’s second generation. Unleashing three albums this year— New Album, Heavy Rocks II, and Attention Please—Boris remains hyper-productive and viciously HEAVY.

DaM-FunK + Master Blazter West Coast performer/producer/DJ DaMFunK pronounces his name as “Dame Funk.” (The “Dam” part comes from his name, Damon Riddick.) However, calling him “Damn Funk” would still be a pretty fair assessment of the guy’s musical talents.

He drops serious funk music, the sort you could easily see guys in low riders bumping through their speakers as they bounce up and down the boulevard. And even though the artist’s music has been referred to as “modern funk,” his sound has an obvious old-school foundation, immediately bringing to mind the synthesizer-and-talkbox-crazy stylings of Zapp and Roger Troutman. FunK certainly wants to collaborate with those funkmasters who’ve paved the way for him.

His label, Stones Throw, has been already dropping singles he’s produced for Steve Arrington, the former frontman for ’70s funk outfit Slave, that will be part of an upcoming album they’re working on together. Until it drops, you can see FunK spread that funk oh-so-evenly onstage, along with his band, Master Blazter. CrAig D. linDsey

Night of the Living Dead/Zone One

It’s Halloween! But you’re too old to trick-ortreat and, thank God, you don’t have any kids.

You need a grown-up, sophisticated option.

This is it. The Free Library’s screening Night Of The Living Dead, the late-1960’s zombie film directed by auteur David A. Romero. Like all Romero films, it’s not just about flesheating hordes and absurdly squirting blood. It also offers critical commentary on the politics of class and race. The film’s introduced tonight by award-winning author Colson Whitehead (Saag Harbor, John Henry Days), who just wrote a zombie book called Zone One partly inspired by Romero’s classic work. In a postapocalyptic New York City, Mark Spitz is one of many “sweepers” responsible for eliminating the remaining zombies so a new human colony can begin. As his team descends into zone one—Lower Manhattan—a vicious battle ensues. But it’s not just about zombies. e.s.

Say “hello” to Madison. She’s 13-years-old and she died from a marijuana overdose.

She used to live with her billionaire, movie-star, ex-hippie parents—flying around the world in private planes, popping pills on their advice—but now she’s stuck in the fiery depths of hell for eternity. You know what? It’s not bad! There are legions of demons and cool places like Shit Lake and the Great Ocean of Wasted Sperm. She’s bitter and awfully preachy, but earnest.

While she was a loner alive, she’s making friends dead. If only she could learn to abandon all hope, and impress Satan, everything would be tops. Thus goes Chuck Palahniuk’s new book, Damned.

You know, the guy who wrote Fight Club, Survivor, Choke and nine other books your friends think are hyper-masculine and gimmicky. Well, fuck your friends.

ou already know how we here at PW feel about highoctane showman Johnny Showcase. We love him so much, we put him on the cover. He’s just released a new album, Love Is the Message, and it does a servicable job of representing the muscular, fully loaded, squat-thrust theatrics of his live act. We can’t imagine Martha Graham Cracker ever being able to do the same, but not because they’re not capable. No, there’s just no aural substitute for seeing MGC front “man” Dito van Reigersberg dolled up in a sexy dress, all 6’8” of his hairy-as-hell self thrashing about the stage like the dying fish at the end of Faith No More’s “Epic” video. Hag drag at its finest (minus the lip syncing), Reigersberg is the co-founder of the Pig Iron Theatre Company, and as Martha, he gives those theater chops a workout. He is, for our money, the only guy in Philly who can give Showcase a run for his over-the-top money. This preHalloween double bill is not to be missed. One serious drawback though: It’ll make you realize the Halloween costume you’ve finally settled on is shit. BriAn MCMAnus

Everyone likes a good ghost story. But you know what’s better than a ghost story?

Confronting an actual ghost! During this 90-minute tour, you’ll feel sudden chills venture to some of the oldest ghost-filled buildings and secret cemeteries in the city with a flashlight while learning a bit about the spirits you’re disturbing. This includes the Hag of Pine Street, the burning bride that haunts City Tavern, the spectral poltergeist of St. Peter’s Church and maybe even the ghost of Ben Franklin himself. Your knowledge of random facts about Philadelphia will also be tested as you compete in teams to answer tricky questions. Whichever team is able to ignore sudden chills and inexplicable rustlings long enough to come up with the correct answers wins. If you don’t believe in ghosts, well, consider this a lovely historical tour of the city that just happens to involve a lot of dead people. n.F.

There’s just enough idiosyncrasy and dynamism for Fanfarlo to avoid falling into the rut dug by their inspirational antecedents. Certainly it’s not difficult for symphonic, moody, atmospheric British rock to sound trite following a timeline that extends from ’80s icons the Chameleons UK through the advent of Coldplay, Doves and Snow Patrol. Yet while their 2009 debut, Reservoir, gets quite lush, delicate and dramatic, it never descends into epic selfindulgence. Thankfully the London quintet digested some of Radiohead’s experimental impulses, adding tasteful touches of sputtering electro-noise and odd swooping synths to help ground the pretense accompanying frequent deployment of strings and horns. There’s no valet, but it’s still starched enough you won’t get in without a jacket. C.P.

looking Italian light fixtures, and floor-to-ceiling picture windows look out onto 18th Street. White oak barstools and tables add freshness to the minimalistic 45-seat dining room, and a tasteful but elegant white marble wraparound counter surrounds the open kitchen, framing the art and the artists. At this counter, the real experience of dining at a.kitchen shines; you’re so close to the action you can see your bleary reflection in the highly polished stainless steel equipment.

Tiny 1/12 pans are lined up like good little soldiers, so close you could touch them, filled with a back log of ammo/mise en place for that night’s dinner rush. The thwap, thwap, thwap of chef knives are the readibly audible beating rhythm along with the Black Keys as a line cook close enough to cut you slices woody ends from earthy chantrelles. You may even feel a slight breeze from the bird-wing-like flopping of another cook’s artificially outstretched ear lobes as you watch him bounce around the kitchen delivering prep to each station. Try to avoid being sucked into all the action like an ADHD-riddled preschooler sans adderall, and pay some attention to the food in front of you. It’s worthy of your focus.

The menu is split into three simply named categories of small plate, Euro-tinged offerings: Vegetable, Fish and Meat.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

A couple months back, the Philly food blogosphere exploded with the entree of an anonymous, vitriol-spewing, self-important blogger who fancied himself something of a César Chávez for restaurant folk. Unfortunately, he turned out to be more of a Johnny Hayseed than a John Steinbeck.

After he outed himself (or was outed, depending on who you ask), and his blog posts became increasingly redundant and boring, the making-waves portion of his online lifespan slowed to a mere ripple. People stopped paying attention.

That he made waves at all, though, proved something: For a few moments at least, anyone can make a name for themselves in this town’s food scene. Even if they are a talentless twat. Just scream loud enough and someone will listen. Many restaurants here are packed full of tchotchkes and gimmicrackery, and serve subpar food that lures tourists and the naive in droves. So it’s refreshing when you find a restaurateur and a chef, Bryan Sikora, who is in it for the right reasons and has gone about making an impact in the right ways—by quietly creating great food on a stage in an understated, refined manner. And being comfortable enough to make their respective waves with their trade and talent rather than their attitude and Twitter handle.

Sikora’s spot, a.kitchen, is the antithesis of the crabs-ina-barrel bullshit that goes on far too often in Philadelphia’s food culture. The walls are bare save for a few trendy

Under Vegetable, spicy watermelon radish and Point Reyes blue cheese smeared crostini add a piquant counter balance to a crisp baby lettuce hearts salad dressed in a cooling buttermilk dressing that sasses, “Hidden Valley ain’t got nothing on this!” A housepulled mozzarella burrata filled with Doe Run Dairy ricotta (Coatesville, stand up!) is a fresh and creamy canvas to a mélange of fruits and vegetables that include frizzy pea tendrils, black-pepper-spiced honey dew and sweet watermelon cubes. The watermelon cubes are the cantaloupe to this dish’s salty country ham’s prosciutto.

Under Fish sat a hard-to-resist, tender-as-yourmama’s-kisses octopus paired with a small slab of glistening, caramelized watermelon, salty pickled watermelon rind and a chiffonade of Thai basil all sitting in a liquid harissa. The dish hit on all taste regions of the tongue and on all cylinders. Another fish dish impressed just as much: a giant, seared and sliced U-12 scallop that would logically get lost in a choucroute of cabbage, house-cured meat and pickled mustard seed, but it actually added that all important sweet note to this Kind of Blue jazz masterpiece of a dish.

The Meat category introduced me to my soul mate of a dish, the sugars coaxed from a perfectly cooked loin of lamb caramelized on a searing hot la plancha.

First, the lamb’s natural sugars mingled casually with bitter Greek-style yogurt, then it flirted hardcore with salty black olives, and finally decided to take the bitter Treviso home and bang the hell out of it. The lamb went great with a stunning outside-the-box cocktail of a bitter artichoke liquor cynar and orange mixed expertly by bartendrix Catherine Manning.

The next day, at brunch, I ordered a disappointing Bloody Mary (no Catherine this time) to go with some pillowy pancakes with apple compote and maple syrup from Pa. (nice touch). I also tucked into an herbaceous olfactory pleasing side of breakfast potatoes and promptly fell in love all over again.

The crew of a.kitchen quietly cultivates its gift and serves quality, quite ingenious dishes. It’s time to stop paying attention to the one-hit wonders, and focus on the future Hall of Famers. n

Comedy of Errors

Scott Greer saves 1812’s Mistakes Were Made.

By J. Cooper Robb jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com of artistic significance, Artifex spends an afternoon working the phone in a desperate attempt to bring the play to Broadway. The obstacles he encounters include a vain Hollywood actor, a playwright unwilling to compromise his artistic integrity, a panicstricken theater owner, a pushy agent, a group of Italian sheepherders being held at gunpoint by a band of political extremists, a mysterious mercenary, a hyper secretary, and one severely bloated goldfish.

Lights up on modern movement

PHILADANCO For Your Pleasure

William Luce’s Barrymore, staged by Bristol Riverside Theatre, is simple enough. Set just months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, John Barrymore (Keith Baker) is a man in physical, mental and artistic decline. In a desperate attempt to rediscover his waning talent, he rents an old theater for one night to relive his greatest performance as Shakespeare’s Richard III. No longer capable of remembering the lines (a by-product of his excessive alcohol abuse), he hires a trusted prompter (William Selby) to lend support.

Dully directed by John Marans, Bristol’s production never succeeds in sustaining any momentum. Scenic designer Roman Tatarowicz’s tattered theater is an effectively majestic relic and Michael Troncone’s sound is lushly appealing, but Selby’s prompter is a dull companion for the distraught Barrymore.

As for Baker, he is a capable actor, but he lacks the charisma to make Barrymore a compelling presence and is only partly successful at suggesting the tortured soul that the once-great actor has become.

It’s too bad. Charming on stage and off, Barrymore was one of America’s first acting celebrities, as famous for his offstage behavior (including four failed marriages) as the talent that made him, at one point, America’s greatest Shakespearean actor. His life was as dramatic as the roles he played, but in Luce’s play he is a shadow of his former self. His ego remains intact—“one of my greatest regrets will always be that I couldn’t watch myself perform” he announces—but the bravado is forced. He’s lost his talent and only has himself to blame.

Though Baker has some good moments in BRT’s staging, they are too infrequent to make this Barrymore worth a visit. (J.C.R.) n

of its 1865 rowhouse, and a great excuse for a multi-day festival celebrating literature’s most notorious vampire. Featuring hands-on tours of the exhibition, Dracula and Friends, literary buffs will have the rare opportunity to thumb the pages of Stoker’s notes and peruse a selection from the Rosenbach’s trove of supernatural literature. On Oct. 27, actor Josh Hitchens channels 14 characters from the novel during his 75-minute performance of Stoker’s Dracula. On Oct. 29, create your own gothic vibe with Dracula D.I.Y., a steam-punk crafting event where you can make your own Victorian-inspired cameo broach, create a custom Dracula print and finally learn how to tie a cravat in honor of Dracula’s feckless hero, Jonathan Harker.

Garlic necklaces and silver accessories highly recommended.

Vox Populi: Halloween Bash Heard in the hall: Find your way through Little Berlin in total darkness.

Two costume parties, a bloodsucking festival and an artist-brewed haunted exhibition prove that Halloween was made for creative types.

Little Berlin: Haunted House

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

The creak of a rusty gate, the hollow crunch of gravel in a vacant courtyard, a nervous glance over your shoulder—this is what it’s like to visit Little Berlin on a normal day. Tucked away behind a fence fit for an insane asylum on the ground floor of the old Viking Mill factory, the gallery’s location is bred for Halloween antics. This year, an artist-designed haunted house will prove that your fears are well-founded. In addition to pedaling itself as the cheapest thrill in town (admission is only $1), Little Berlin’s haunted house is also the only one in Philadelphia that draws on dark artistic genius to concoct a haunted exhibition in an art gallery. Assaulting the senses with sound, installation and performance work, visitors will grope their way through the gallery in total darkness. With artists dropping off and installing their work the dayof, this haunted house is sure to be quick, dirty and creatively twisted.

Sun., Oct. 30, 8pm-midnight. $1.

According to the event poster, there a lot of unknowns in Vox Populi’s Halloween Bash: We don’t know who the DJs are but we do know they’ll be “killer”; we don’t know what the costume prizes will be but we do know they’ll likely be awesome; we don’t know exactly when the party ends but we do know that it will go “late!” But when it comes to Halloween, mystery has always been part of the appeal. So if you’re 21 and older and a fan of dancing while you drink (unlimited beer!), then slap on a costume, embrace the unknown and join Vox for its first Halloween Bash.

Philadelphia Museum of Art: Halloween Dance Party If you fancy yourself in an 11th-hour style masquerade ball surrounded by neoclassical architecture, then the Halloween Dance Party at the PMA requests the honor of your company. The theme this year is vintage animation (hello, costume ideas!), and a large-scale projection of cartoons from the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s sets the tone. Take your dancing cue from slinky cabaret-tap dancer Gin Minsky or lindyhop your way into the groove of the original hipsters, led by a fleet of professional swing dancers. Catch your breath with a tour of the PMA’s hauntingly beautiful art or seek your fortune in a tarot-card reading, all to the tune of Brian Carpenter’s Ghost Train Orchestra. n

Philadelphia Film Festival: Week 2 The FP: In Brandon and Jason Trost’s custom-made fan-

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

boy object, youths of a post-something future battle each other via a knockoff of Dance Dance Revolution. Can you believe this was expanded from a short? Or that, at feature length, it feels like it would function better as a short? The Trost Brothers trained under Crank’s Neveldine/Taylor, retaining their love for thrift store mayhem but not the ability to spin endless, inventive variations on a simple concept. The world of The FP barely widens past its first 10 minutes, managing only a couple mildly amusing iterations of unironic ’80s movie badassery that were funnier in the MacGruber movie, anyway. C (M.P.) Thurs., Nov. 3, 10pm, RA.

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia: Nuri Bilge Ceylan

Blonde ambition: Michelle Williams is divine at Norma Jeane in My Week With Marilyn.

Let’s not mince words: In its 20 years, this is the most impressive—if not perhaps the best—lineup the Philadelphia Film Festival has ever had. The latest from Alexander Payne (The Descendants), Werner Herzog (Into the Abyss) and Lars Von Trier (Melancholia)—not to mention art cinema titans Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne (The Kid With a Bike), Hong Sang-soo (The Day He Arrives), Aki Kaurismaki (Le Havre) and Béla Tarr (The Turin Horse)— are yours for the peeping. You have the third (and final) Paradise Lost doc, completed just before the freeing of the West Memphis 3, as well as two sex movies with Michael Fassbender (David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method and Steve McQueen’s Shame). That leaves plenty that won’t be returning here for a theatrical stint. Here’s a selection of film’s playing during the final week: P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

Connected: An Autobiography About Love, Death & Technology: Tiffany Shlain, founder of the

Webbys, pays tribute to her late father Leonard, a neurologist whose books (like The Alphabet Versus the Goddess) argued that the creation of the alphabet helped create our patriarchal society, since language relies on left brain (and therefore masculine) tendencies over right brain (i.e., feminine) ones. L. Shlain’s ideas, contested by many in academia but popular amongst the likes of Björk, are interesting and entertainingly communicated (via animation), enough to wish she’d chucked the “autobiography” part and dug into them exclusively. C+ (Matt Prigge) Thurs., Nov. 3, 7:45pm, RE.

My Week With Marilyn: A preposterous piece of fan-

•

fiction along the lines of 2009’s Me And Orson Welles, this stuffy middlebrow adaptation of Collin Clark’s suspicious memoir stars Eddie Redamayne as an annoyingly eagerbeaver production assistant working on The Prince And The Showgirl, landing himself a front row seat for the infamous clashes between Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh, wearing a silly prosthetic) and Marilyn Monroe (the divine Michelle Williams.) If you absolutely must, the reason to see the film is Williams’ bravura take on an American icon, equal parts neediness, petulance, and va-va-voom. You’ll Blackthorn wish she had the chance to play Monroe in a tougher, better picture. C- (Sean Burns) Fri., Oct. 28, 5pm, PMT.

(Distant, Climates) holds onto his title of greatest current Turkish filmmaker with this perversely ambling twist on the police procedural. After nabbing an alleged killer, a car of bickering and shit-shooting lawmen roam the countryside in the dead of night, looking for the body in landscapes that all look the same. Largely lit through car lights, Ceylan’s latest—gorgeous as ever—occupies the space between art-film-slow and deadpan, all the while taking its sweet time in laying out a devastating treatise on the unknowability of truth and the arbitrary nature of justice. A- (M.P.) Fri., Oct. 28, 4:20pm, R5; Sun., Oct. 30, 12:10pm, RE.

Staging Hope: Acts of Peace in Northern Uganda: Run by actress Melissa Fitzgerald (whom

you may remember as Carol from The West Wing,) the nonprofit Voices In Harmony travels the world mentoring at-risk teens by starting drama clubs. I know, it sounds like a parody of Hollywoord liberal do-gooder-ism – “Let’s go to a refugee camp and put on a show!” But these kids individual stories are so undeniably compelling, and Fitzgerald so sincere about healing through theatre and personal expression, even cynical bastards like yours truly can’t help but surrender. Less can be said for the filmmaking.

Executive produced by Fitzgerald’s former TV boss Martin Sheen, it’s a boilerplate worldaffairs doc, and the kind of thing that might have worked just as well as a television newsmagazine piece. C+ (S.B.) Tues., Nov. 1, 7:30pm, RE; Tues., Nov 1, 7:45pm, R5.

cottage. The most direct of Tarr’s works, it’s therefore his most accessible—or it would be, if it weren’t a film about, as he’s cheerfully put it, “no hope.” Tarr goes out with his protagonists: this is his (alleged) swan song. Apart from feeling sad for his protagonists, feel sad for yourself: this is the last time to experience Tarr’s potent mix of textured B&W, grimy landscapes and shots so long and slow that time evaporates. A- (M.P.) Thurs., Oct. 27, 6:50pm, RE; Sat., Oct. 28, 12pm, R5.

Surrogate Valentine: Bay Area indie rocker Goh Na-

kamura stars as himself in writer-director Dave Boyle’s shaggy, agreeably ambling comedy glimpse at life on the road for a professional musician just successful enough to scrape by. Distressed by the onset of his 30s, still pining for a high-school sweetheart (Lynn Chen) and strapped for cash, Nakamura is pressed by a pal into letting a goofball sitcom actor (Chadd Stoops) tag along on his low-rent tour to research a role. It’s a loose, coming-ofmiddle age saga buoyed by the lead’s easy charm, fine musical performances and some gorgeous black and white cinematography. Nothing earth-shattering, but I enjoyed spending time with these people. B (S.B.) Sat., Oct 29, 12:10pm. RE.

Tyrannosaur: Peter Mullan plays a rageaholic widower introduced kicking his dog to death. Eddie Marsan plays as an abusive louse who enters the picture by drunkpissing on his wife (Olivia Coleman). This unexpected grim-o-rama from actor Paddy Considine (My Summer of Love) is filled with such OTT horrors that it occasionally spills over into pitch black comedy. Even when it doesn’t, which is most of the time, it’s still ridiculous, although it doesn’t wind up exactly where you’d expect, and its actors do their damndest to make it credible. Coleman, a comic actress best known for Peep Show, is particularly strong as an abused spouse with a secret capacity for strength.

C+ (M.P.) Sat., Oct. 29, 10:20pm, R5; Wed., Nov. 2, 9:30pm, RE.

The Conquest: Nicholas Sarkozy’s campaign becomes the stuff of cynical comedy in Xavier Durringer’s fast-paced dirt-slinger, which chronicles how the French president (Denis Podalydès, only marginally charismatic) ascended to power partly through savvy, partly through turning his life into a reality show.

Sleeping Beauty: Australian novelist Julia This isn’t a docudrama so much as a Leigh proves a natural filmmaker in her film blueprint on how to score in modern debut, which tells of a young, cash-strapped Theater Key: Western politics.

Like his father, the director Ken Loach (The Wind That Shakes the Barley), Jim Loach has chosen to make socially conscious films that expose Britain’s shameful acts.

Unlike his father, whose work is steeped in breezy verisimilitude, Loach the Younger is a maker of insistent emotional appeals, out more for your tears than your education. A thrillingly realistic film could conceivably be made out of Oranges and Sunshine, which concerns the “Home Children” scandal, wherein over the course of 150 years some 130,000 poor or orphaned children were forcibly migrated from England to Australia. Instead it’s one of those fussy docudramas that are about as lousy as the topic that inspired is worth revealing.

Emily Watson plays Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker made hip to the aforementioned scheme by some of its victims, when they were middle aged. Soon, she’s shuttling back and forth between England and Oz, struggling to pair up older Aussies with their possibly deceased parents. All the while she’s ruffling feathers by hitting up the press and carrying on multiple Erin Brockovich-style scenes where a naysayer confronts her, she fires off a prickly tell-off and the scene ends before they have the chance to retort.

But Watson is no Julia Roberts, nor wants to be. She’s reserved even at her feistiest—perhaps too calm than this genre requires.

Films like this traditionally run on people like Ashley Judd, who flares her nostrils as she assassinates her opponent with a fiery quotable. That might mean that Oranges and Sunshine may never sufficiently placate fans of such work, but those allergic to them can find relief in some epic underplaying. That doesn’t extend to Jim Loach’s direction, which is the style that features constant sad piano music to underline what need not be underlined. But he was at least wise enough to demand even better low-key work from Hugo Weaving and David Wenham, as victims who are, respectively, profoundly bereaved and amusingly unflappable. By doing precious little, they break your heart. Others should have taken note. n

The Young Ones: Young Savage works ’em this Sunday night.

“We’re from different parts of the city,” says MC Young Savage. “And we all go hard.” The 18-year-old Southwest Philadelphia native’s talking about the hip-hop artists performing at the Arts Garage the Sunday before Halloween.

Many of the MCs are 18 or younger, and they represent the city’s emerging hip-hop generation.

By the time Savage graduated from John Bartram High School last June, he’d dropped three mixtapes. He hovers between swag and street, summoning the good vibes of Kendrick Lamar and the rampage of Waka Flocka Flame.

The first single from his upcoming Savage World 3, “Work Em,” has been booming across local airwaves and the video’s gotten almost 75,000 views.

“When I first heard the beat, I was just bouncing hard to it,” recalls Savage, who headlines the Halloween concert. “I kept saying ‘Work ’em work ’em work ’em’ and started whipping my arm as fast as I could. Everybody was like ‘Yo, what are you doing?’ It’s a tease to the competition. I make ’em all work. You go into Bally Fitness and listen to it, you gonna come out a bodybuilder. I’m gettin’ my team hyped up.”

Savage’s team, the Inner City Hustlers, was founded in the early 1990s by West Philly MC Jimmy DaSaint. The crew was climbing the ranks, but tragedy struck in 1995 when four members were murdered in a Mantua rowhouse. Then, in 1999, the same year ICH’s Oschino and Sparks signed with Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records, DeSaint says he was busted selling drugs to an undercover FBI agent.

He spent 10 years in prison, but he didn’t fuck around.

He wrote books—including Black Scarface, co-written with Los Angeles drug boss Rick Ross. When he got out, he started building up the next ICH generation.

“It’s a different music scene now in Philly,” says DaSaint.

“I’m vibing with youth who aren’t talking guns and crack.

They’re out to enjoy their lives. It’s not just hardcore street rap anymore.”

DaSaint manages Savage and other ICH members, like HH-Spady, but he’s also a mentor. “We on so much real life shit sometimes I forget I’m Savage’s manager. I’m like, ‘Yo, you gotta respect your parents, don’t worry about girls today, and get on your job.’”

While DaSaint was locked up, hip-hop changed. Twitter, blogs and YouTube happened, ushering in an era of collaboration between crews. Networks replaced beefs, and though competition’s fierce, it’s all about elevating the local scene.

One online hub is AllFlamerz.com, a website created in 2009 by 23-year-old Mack Woods. Named after Philly star Meek Mill’s Flamerz tapes, Woods posts videos, mixtapes and MP3s by local emcees like Mont Brown and Gillie Da Kid. “There were no non-mainstream Philly hip-hop sites,” says Woods. “I’d go to blogs and there’d be no Philly rap— not even Freeway and Young Chris! I wanted to prove everyone wrong and I’m accomplishing that.”

Confirmation came when Mack recently got a call from Black Cab Sessions, a London-based website that’s produced videos with artists like Brian Wilson and Fleet Foxes performing in the back of a taxicab. They found AllFlamerz.com while researching Philly artists to include in their film, Black Cab Sessions USA. “They showed up with the black cab and all these cameras ... I was blown away,” confesses Woods, who organized sessions with Freeway and Tone Trump.

“Somebody told them there wasn’t a hip-hop scene here, and I said ‘No, you gotta come hang with me.’”

The Halloween concert’s co-presented by AllFlamerz and DaSaint Entertainment, which work together to organize events for the young rappers.

“He makes sure everybody knows what to do,” Woods says about DaSaint. “The last generation lacked someone to show them the right way to go about things. They’d just battle each other with all this negativity. We’re creating a different environment, teaching artists to collaborate. It’s all about unity.”

There’s also We Run the Streets, which produces videos predominantly featuring Philly emcees. Making a run at managing artists, their first signing was with 16-year-old Dizzle. Also performing at the Halloween show, she’s a student at the Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush.

“One day I was in North Philly and I saw this crowd of men with a big camera, so I went over to rap,” she remembers. “I didn’t know who they were, but I went for it.

Later that night, I found out it was We Run the Streets. I’d seen Meek Mill and other rappers on their videos, and I’ve been with them ever since.”

Dizzle’s young, but her music’s inspired by the early 1990s thump of Pharcyde and MC Lyte with a dash of Boogie Down Productions bombast. Her debut, No Features, drops in December.

The new generation’s very aware that rapping isn’t just about rapping. They’ve seen the worst of the culture, from the douchebaggery of Kanye West to the bloody trail that followed Tupac’s last days, and they to want move beyond that.

“Rappers don’t realize how much power they have,” says Savage. “Khalifa got everybody dying their hair, and Lil Wayne got everybody tatting theyselves. With so much power, they should do something positive, show kids how to live. Put the guns down and be a role model.”

That’s what I wanna do.” n

Q&A With Blitzen Trapper

By Chris Parker feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Nation was the record that made it so I could tour all the time and I had some money and I could finally get an apartment and everything. Furr was sort of the next level up from that.

How did American Goldwing come together?

I had made all these songs for Destroyer of the Void and was recording them. The recording of them was not enjoyable for me, to be honest. I couldn’t get anything I was happy with. We were touring all the time. I just couldn’t focus. When we were done, we were on a big break and I just wrote a record and recorded it all at once, kind of like exhaling.

Prior albums were a little more storytelling oriented. This has that, but it also feels a lot more personal and confessional.

It is more personal, more confessional, some of the songs. It’s not as much a detached storytelling thing. It’s definitely me talking about either my childhood or recent relationships.

Trap music: The guys of Blitzen Trapper.

There’s a timeless classicism to Blitzen Trapper’s rootsy rock

reflecting both traditional country influences leader Eric Earley inherited from his musician father, and the ’70s folk and AOR he grew up hearing. It broadcasts crackling, free-spirited warmth that on their latest, American Goldwing, suggests music best heard in a car with the windows down. PW caught up with Earley while on the road from Atlanta to Nashville, Tenn.

There was a period where you were homeless, prior to and during the recording of your third album, 2007’s Wild Mountain Nation. How did this happen?

It started when my Dad died, and I was drinking really heavily and I was in a terrible relationship. It kind of went on and on for a while. So I went through that two-year grieving period. At the end of it I felt really empty and that was when I got rid of the house we were in, along with all of my belongings.

There’s a frank simplicity and earnest straightforwardness that defines country music to me—not that what you’re doing is straight country, but it seems like an aspect of this.

Country music is definitely the most simple, earnest proletariat music there is in America. It’s like the country music of any foreign nation. It’s the people’s music. So anytime you start introducing elements of that ... but for me I was really just interested in writing songs that meant something to me and that were simple and straightforward, and that was me not really messing around. There’s a fine line between being poetic and being really straightforward. You want to do both at the same time.

You made this comment in reference to the dark tone of some of your songs and our violent culture, that “Men are killers.” Could you elaborate?

It’s pretty undeniable to me if you just look at history. As Americans it’s easy to ignore that side of humanity. In the end, when you strip everything away, men prey on other men. It’s what we do. We’re not supposed to, and it’s not right, but it’s just the way we are. n Thurs., Oct. 27, 7pm. $20. With Dawes + the Belle Brigade. TLA, 334 South St. 215.922.1011. tlaphilly.com

By Bill Chenevert

Joe Jonas

Fastlife (Hollywood) Sounds Like: A Jonas brother goes rogue!

And it works, perhaps because he lost his promise ring, found some Timbalandwannabe producers and embraced sexiness.

Free Association: Chris Brown’s involved, spiking “virginal God boy” with “abusive slut.”

For Fans Of: Justin Tims + Mike Posner, Missy Elliot x Demi/Selena, low expectations.

New Found Glory

Radiosurgery (Epitaph) Sounds Like: The Floridian emo pop-punk

specialists’ seventh is their best effort to keep a rightfully dying genre alive, and it’s a valiant one—the album’s only mildly horrible.

Free Association: They stick to the pop-punk schtick by whining about heartbreak (amen).

For Fans Of: blink-182/Sum 41 x Weezer, Green Day + Dashboard, ’90s teens.

Uh Huh Her

Nocturnes (Plaid Records) Sounds Like: Taking cues from PJ

Harvey’s 2004 gem, the L.A. duo of queer girls (one is L Word’s Leisha Hailey) are spot-on in their wistfully ethereal electronic anguish.

Free Association: Low expectations for actors/musicians yields pleasant surprises!

For Fans Of: Metric, Ladytron + Liz Phair, Le Tigre, overtly queer success stories.

Tycho

Dive (Ghostly International) Sounds Like: The San Fran-based artist/

producer’s second is stunning, simple and euphoric wordless pop; dipped in downtempo beats and baked in the California sun.

Free Association: When graphic designers are so cool they HAVE to make music, too.

For Fans Of: Boards of Canada, Herbaliser x Neon Indian, stoney sunset drives.

RCMP

RCMP II (Young Robots) Sounds Like: Philly’s nu-disco prince, DJ

Critic's Pick Battles

here, oh where, to start with Battles? A gang of technical virtuosos from math-rock/hardcore backgrounds who W make insanely intricate, ridiculously complex head-nodding post-punk/funk prog that doesn’t actually send their listeners catatonic and drooling with boredom. They instead defy all conventional pop wisdom and gleefully turn listener’s heads inside out and back again thanks to their freakishly fantastic polyrhythmic grooves, surefire pop nous, and perhaps most importantly, their overriding sense of playfulness and fun. If you’re still not convinced, check out “Ice Cream,” from their latest album Gloss Drop (and check out the video while you’re at it, it’s insane), and if that doesn’t move you then, frankly, we give up.

Oh, and live, they’re worth it for drummer John Stanier alone. The man’s a machine.

(Neil Ferguson)

Joe Henry

Reverie (ANTI-) Sounds Like: The former Jayhawk’s been

39

churning out sad bastard Americana since ‘86, and while it’s rich with pianos, strings, lyricism and heart, it’s tough to stomach.

Free Association: Some people (Tom Waits fans) have patience for this kind of shit.

For Fans Of: Leonard Cohen/Elvis Costello, Ron Sexsmith, gritty old man blues.

•

Mon. Oct. 31, 7pm. $15. With Nisennenmondai + Strawberry Mansion DJs + Wigwams. TLA, 334 South St. 215.922.1011. tlaphilly.com

Apt One, plus Relative Q on synths, drop a second EP of catchy/sweaty modern dance tracks on unsuspecting dancefloors.

Free Association: Bet you forgot how disco can turn a party out—this ain’t no hustle!

For Fans Of: Chic x Hercules & Love Affair, Hot Chip x italo disco, lasers and sex.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

After a year, it sparked an incredibly creative period though.

Yeah, that’s when I kind of built the studio in a practice space in this little building. I recorded Wild Mountain Nation and Furr there in kind of the same year basically. Wild Mountain

There’s ‘70s rock classicism to tracks like “Might Find It Cheap,” which recalls Skynyrd, and the piano-swing of “Fletcher” sounds very much like The Band. What does that period of music mean to you?

It’s music I really like. It has a certain masculinity that a lot of modern music lacks in my opinion. It has a certain blue collarness to it. It’s not the music I’ve always loved. But as I get older it is. I’m nostalgic for my younger days when that’s what I did; I worked all the time and things were simpler.

My boyfriend and I are in college and doing the long-distance thing. Over the years, he’s granted me increasing amounts of freedom to be intimate with women—I’m female, and date women while we’re apart—but I still don’t have full autonomy.

It’s much better than it used to be, but lately another one of my “needs” has been eating at me: my masochism. He’s repeatedly refused me permission to let someone lay into me with a flogger.

In order to abide by the rules, am I missing out on a huge facet of the best years of my life? I don’t even want to have anything sexual with the person who flogs me! I just want them to beat me!

And this might be relevant: He has the freedom to do whatever he wishes but—God only knows why—he never indulges in anything more than the odd vanilla woman here and there. Also, I’m not allowed to attend fetish clubs because he knows I’ll make bad choices if I do (I’ll play!), but the burner and fetish scenes are converging here in Los Angeles and I’m going to get in trouble soon!

University Pain Slut

My girlfriend of four years cheated on me. I’m in college now; we’ve been dating since high school.

She and a male friend hooked up four times when they were both drunk. This guy was supposed to be her best friend, and it turns out he was into her. I asked her once about their relationship, and she assured me that nothing had or ever would happen between them. That was a few weeks after she cheated on me. She rationalizes the events in a manner that makes her seem like she’s not to blame and she constantly tells me how much she really loves me. Do I hook up with another girl and tell her about it?

Cucked Over College Kid

No, COCK, you don’t hook up with another girl. You ask yourself this question: How many adults—people over 30—do you know who are still with and/or married to their high-school sweethearts? The answer is either zero or approaching zero. A breakup was inevitable-ish all along, COCK, and now seems like a pretty good time to pull the plug. And while your girlfriend is telling you she loves you, and while she may still have feelings for you, she’s slamming her hand down on the self-destruct button because—consciously or not—she wants out, too.

I’m a 21-year-old college student living in San Diego. I have some sex-related issues/questions that I’d like to talk with a counselor about. These issues are complicated—porn consumption, sex work, ability to orgasm, etc.—but I hesitate to go through my insurance; since I’m still on my parents’ plan, that would involve me talking to my parents about this. They are very nosy and also very traditional, so I can only imagine the shitstorm. What are my other options? Is my university health care something that would cover this?

Would my university report back to my parents about what I was seeking counseling about? I’m getting along fine, but this is negatively affecting my sex life and I’m tired of it.

Uneasy Collegian Seeks Discretion

In your advice to The Straight Best Man, you suggested that the first gay couples to legally wed in both Canada and the United States ended up divorcing and that this fact was largely unknown because anti-divorce and anti–gay marriage evangelical Christians have essentially dodged the issue in a bid to divert attention from their own spectacularly high rates of marriage implosion.

While the first American same-sex marriage ended in divorce, the first legal same-sex marriages in Canada are still going strong 10 years later. A gay couple, Joe Varnell and Kevin Bourassa, and a lesbian couple, Anne and Elaine Vautour, were married in a joint ceremony on January 14, 2001, at Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto (MCCT). At that time, the government was still refusing to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples. To solve this problem, the church, on advice from their legal team, did an end run around the pre-authorized license requirement, using the ancient, but perfectly legal, Christian tradition of proclaiming the banns of marriage.

While the government refused to register the marriages as valid, on June 10, 2003, the Ontario Court of Appeal declared that the marriages had been legally performed, and ordered the Province of Ontario to register them immediately. The court also ruled that a ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional and ordered the province to begin issuing marriage licenses for same-sex couples that same day.

Both couples remain happily married, having renewed their vows in a public ceremony at MCCT on the occasion of their joint 10-year anniversaries earlier this year.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 26 - November 1, 2011

You’ve given your boyfriend permission to do who he wants, what he wants, when he wants.

But you’re not allowed to do half of humanity— the male half—or get your ass beat at a BDSM club?

That hardly seems fair, UPS. But my knees don’t automatically jerk when I hear about a couple with an arrangement that appears to be “unfair” on its face. If Person A enjoys more “freedom” than Person B, it doesn’t necessarily follow that Person B is being wronged. Some people get off on the tension that an erotic power imbalance creates, and nothing says “you’re in charge” quite like your partner having the freedom to do people and things that you’re not allowed to do. Or maybe the idea of you being with other men makes the boyfriend feel threatened and insecure, while the idea of him being with other women turns you on. If that’s the case, UPS, then you’re not doing something that makes him unhappy (sleeping with other men) while he’s doing something that makes you happy (sleeping with other women).

For me, UPS, it comes down to this: If you’re happy—if you’re getting off on your unfair deal—then I’m happy.

But are you happy? Or are you still happy?

If this deal isn’t working anymore, UPS, then it’s time to negotiate a new, perhaps slightly fairer deal. His insistence that you mess around only with other girls while you’re apart is understandable—I don’t think it’s fair, UPS, but I can understand it—but the “no flogging” rule seems ridiculously arbitrary. Battle your sexual submissiveness and negotiate from a position of strength: Tell your boyfriend that you’ll continue to stick to his no-other-dudes rule on the condition that he lift his silly flogging ban.

word for it.

“I want your reader to know that care provided at UCSD Student Health Services and the Counseling and Psychological Services is confidential,” writes Regina Fleming, director of Student Health Services at the University of California, San Diego. “We don’t bill insurance for visits to Student Health, though sometimes the cost of lab tests are put on the student’s account; these charges do not specify what type of tests were done. [And] all services at our Counseling and Psychological Services are free.”
