Ride on: Philadelphia is the nation’s most bicycle-centric city. The annual Philly Bike Expo celebrates that.

WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... CO N V E NTION

Philly Bike Expo

It’s no secret to anyone paying attention that the city of Philadelphia is the most bicycle-centric major metropolis in the United States, and our growth in two-wheeled transportation shows no sign of slowing down. Studies show that cycling grew 260 percent here between 2005 and 2013. Thirty-three percent of our cyclists are women, compared to 26 percent nationwide, and both Center City and South Philly have regularly made lists of the top 25 neighborhoods in America where residents bike to work. In some regard, Philly has served as a model town for large cities the country over, putting together its own cycle infrastructures. With that in mind, it seems fitting that since 2010, biking enthusiasts and cycling companies from all over have been converging here to promote the “fun, function, fitness and freedom” that’s gained through making cycling part of one’s lifestyle. And since 2013, that gathering has been held at downtown’s Pennsylvania Convention Center. This weekend’s fifth Philly Bike Expo, a two-day gathering begun in 2009 by North Philly bicycle manufacturer Bilenky Cycle Works dedicated to all aspects of bike culture, includes everything from seminars to city rides to a huge exhibition of cycling companies’ newest products. On the short list of 20-plus Expo session topics are subjects ranging from yoga for cyclists, titanium frame-building and Family Biking 101 to Better Bike Share, which will explore the inclusivity and accessibility in Philly’s upcoming bike share program, and Form, Fit and Function, set to tackle female perspectives on biking gear and dress for commuting. More than 100 Bike Expo exhibitors will be handing out information and showing off an array of gear, frames and tools, plus there’ll be advocacy groups on hand, pro-travel and tourism agencies and even a couple of food trucks along for the ride, too. It’s basically your neighborhood cyclist-hater’s worst nightmare. // RANDY LOBASSO Nov. 8 and 9, 10am. $8-$20. Pennsylvania Convention Center, 1100 Arch St. 215-740-7068. phillybikeexpo.com

PHILLYNOW Friday, November 7 Simeone Automotive Musueum cars provide the backdrop for the Beet Hunger Bash

B E N E FIT

Philabundance’s Beet Hunger Bash It’s been 30 years since Pamela Rainey Lawler founded Philabundance; today, it’s the area’s largest charitable food bank, serving some 75,000 people every week, but back at the beginning, it was simply a woman in a station wagon hitting the road to get food to people who needed it. Philabundance is celebrating that big anniversary tonight with a snappy fundraising event, the Beet Hunger Bash, at an appropriately high-powered venue: the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Southwest Philly, whose exhibit hall displays more than 60 vintage race cars that date all the way from the early 20th century through the modern NASCAR era. Attendees will get to check out the high-octane history—as well as commemorating Philabundance’s own history and honoring local “hunger heroes”—while enjoying good food and drink and contributing to the nonprofit’s goal of raising enough money to serve half a million meals to the region’s hungry. That mission is more important than ever—especially after Congress reduced federal benefits to the needy last year. “Last year, we distributed 10 percent more food than the prior year,” says Philabundance spokesperson Lindsay Hughes. “That’s an additional 3 million pounds of food.” Many of the group’s direct neighborhood distribution programs are strategically placed in areas where people don’t have access to affordable and nutritious food. For instance: “We opened up the nation’s first nonprofit grocery store, Fare & Square, last year in Chester,” Hughes says, noting that the west end of Chester had been an officially designated “food desert,” lacking a full-service grocery store for over a decade. Attending the Beet Hunger Bash is one big way to support Philabundance’s work; for those who can’t make it, the group is always happy for food drives, direct donations—and new volunteers. // S.H.S. 7–10pm. Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, 6825 Norwitch Dr. General admission: $150. Young professionals under 30: $75. 215.399.0900. philabundance.org

Next Wednesday night’s special “Jump Off ” joint at Silk City will be highlighted by sets from DJ Rekha and Skeme Richards, spinmeisters who’ll both drop wisdom at “Reflections on the Evolution of Asian Cultural Influences in the Hip-Hop Community,” a panel the previous day—also free— featuring Scott “Chops” Jung, who scored 9-Man, one of PAAFF’s premiere documentaries, and veteran journalist/scholar Jeff Chang, author of Who We Be: The Colorization of America. Can’t make it in person? No worries: PhillyCAM’s livestreaming it. // KENYA BEVERLY Through Sat., Nov. 22. Free-$100. Various times and various venues. phillyasianfilmfest.org

rying to explain to non-Philadelphians how crazy, how almost

incomprehensibly excellent the past year’s worth of restaurant openings has been, is fraught with challenges. Every time I’ve tried to,

I’ve been accused of hyperbole, of talking up our town’s dining life to such an extent that I can’t possibly be taken seriously. But here’s the thing: You really can’t overstate this. Since this time last November, neighborhoods all over Philadelphia have seen an efflorescence of restaurants that would make any city in the world jealous. On the following pages, we’re sharing ten of our favorites. This isn’t a comprehensive list of all that’s new and great, of course; it’s a delicious smorgasbord of the highlights, of destinations that demand a visit regardless of whether you’re looking for a full meal or quick bite. I pity poor 2015: It’s got a lot to live up to. — BRIAN FREEDMAN

Townsend wentz’s favorite dish: Rabbit Pot-au-feu. “It most represents our aesthetic: a classic dish updated with modern sensibilities.” Life on East Passyunk: “While competition challenges each chef to do their best, we still have a great camaraderie.

CozARA

3200 Chestnut St. 267.233.7488. cozaraphilly.com. General manager Bryon Phillips’ favorite dish: Whole chicken yakitori. Favorite memory from year one: “Us and Zavino were [preparing to launch] at the same time. Zavino opened before us, and while we were still in construction, they would just pop by and drop off amazing pizza they were testing.” sushi with school spirit: “The Drexel Dragon roll: kani and cream cheese topped with eel and julianned cucumber. The UPenn Roll: spicy crunchy tuna roll topped with spicy Chilean sea bass tempura.”

THE TREEMONT

231 S. 15th St. 267.687.2237. thetreemont.com. Chef Chip Roman’s favorite dish: “The gnudi. It’s like a liquid-center dumpling made with riccotta cheese. It’s good to have any time of year, and the garnishes we can use change with the seasons.”

Best part of Center City location: “Theaters, public transportation, the hustle & bustle. I also grew up, went to school and professional training all within a three-mile radius of this spot.” It’s a team effort: “Our acting GM and chef started working with me at Blackfish many years ago.”

PETRuCE ET AL.

1121 Walnut St. 267.225.8232. petrucephilly.com. PW critic Brian Freedman’s money quote: “The lasagna—tomatoes caramelized and sweet, béchamel perfumed with nutmeg... headed directly for the pleasure center of my brain, which proceeded to light up like a cougar at a Ryan Gosling movie.” The Petruces’ own favorites: “All the ciders, of course. And the steak tartare has been on the menu, unchanged, since we opened. It’s a playful take on a cheeseburger that tastes pretty good.”

LO SPIEDO

4503 S. Broad Street, Building 500. 215.282.3184. lo-spiedo.com. The

latest Vetri restaurant opened last month and was phenomenal from the get-go: “This one is burning on all six cylinders,” says chef Jeff Michaud. “We’re calling it caveman cooking... No curing, brining, sousvide machines—only salt, pepper and fire!” Memorable moment from the launch: “Firing up that rotisserie for the first time was incredible. Each spit had chickens, briskets, whole squash, whole cauliflower on it... We have never tasted anything like the spit-roasted octopus.”

THE FAT HAM

3131 Walnut St. 215.735.1914. sbragadining.com/fatham Chef du

cuisine Aaron Gottesman’s favorite dish: “Charred cabbage. We’ve taken an ingredient often forgotten about, unless making coleslaw, and added depth by covering it with tomato pie.” Why head bartender Dan Carr looks forward to winter: “Having 170+ whiskeys makes me excited for the colder months when I can have fun making brown cocktails, smoke ingredients, and use richer, more aggressive products like black walnut, anise and clove.”

the-woods mushrooms—lacquered with honey and arriving tableside a shimmering, burnished mahogany color—are a study in flavor-layering, wweet at first, then savory, then almost meaty. Unexpected liquid pleasures: Not many restaurants offer the gorgeous Cantele Negroamaro by the glass, or the lovely local Chambourcin from Bancroft. And the Basque cider from Isastegi, funky and crisp, also makes for seriously rewarding pairing.

The Craving When they call it ‘comfort food,’ they ain’t kidding.

’ve never been one to put on airs about food. When I was a boy, my favorite meal was peanut butter and jelly sandwiched between two slices of potato bread with Herr’s potato chips. To be clear, the chips weren’t on the side; they were inside the sandwich, lending it an irresistibly salty crunch. I’d chase down this culinary abomination with Lipton iced tea. No, not tea bags steeped in cool, fresh spring water; I’m talking about the sugary instant mix, which my mother blended lovingly with tap water. To this day, I find it soothes me to recreate that memory— even as, now being an adult who understands where unnecessary extra fat comes from, I try to resist this highly efficient calorie-delivery system. Finding comfort in the culinary creations of my formative years isn’t unusual; we all have eccentricities nurtured from childhood. One of my friends always buys a prepared rotisserie chicken whenever he’s at the supermarket, and when I recently visited his sister, I found she does the same thing. “It’s economical and already cooked,” she matter-of-factly told me. Sounds like a piece of wisdom she picked up early, doesn’t it? My parents, on the other hand, taught me the exact opposite. When I’m in grocery stores by myself, I hear my father’s voice in the prepared food aisle: “That’s where they get ya.” I remember his hand outstretched toward the heat lamps: “Buy your own chicken, and you save two dollars. You just have to put out the effort!” For families on a budget, that kind of calculation matters. Even so, splurging for proper nutrition still occasionally found its way in my parents’ house. In the beverage aisle, I’ll always pass over the Hawaiian Punch and, instead, go for the Juicy Juice. “No red dye,” my mother would say. “It makes your brother hyper. You want real sugars. It’s just a bit more expensive.” My aunt, however, indulged in my whims. Her mother, my grandmother, passed when I was so young that I never really had the kind of grandmother I see in loving (if not codependent) families today, so my aunt became a Grandma proxy. One of my favorite memories is she and I sneaking Roy Rogers cheeseburgers into the movie theater, giggling as we crinkled open the greasy wrappers. In my memory, the movie we’re watching

always changes—probably because we did it so many times. Those movie-theater cheeseburgers were particularly potent: Not only were my aunt and I rebelling against the rules of both the theater and my mother, we were also eating foods which fired off synapses in our brains. With each bite of those fatty, sodium-laden burgers, I reinforced my addiction to comfort— and, at the same stroke, to flipping off authority. No matter how far my grown self may be from that little kid, no matter cognizant of proper nutrition I am, those memoryassociated foods still flood me with nostalgic warmth. Why comfort foods are so, well, comforting is no real mystery. Scientists have long identified a correlation between what we homo sapiens like to eat—like fats, sugars and salts—and the kinds of feelings these foods elicit. Evolution gives us part of the reason: Thousands of years ago, we roamed the earth as nomads, and as fats and sugars are highly efficient at delivering calories, they were valuable in sustaining our constantly active bodies. So our brains became conditioned to want them. It’s here that the cruel irony of modernity presents itself: Once we developed the technology to produce all the fats and sugars we could want, that meant we could stop roaming the planet— which means, in turn, we stopped burning so many calories and started packing on the chunk. There’s another reason, though, that some of us, particularly those of us with histories of trauma, try to munch our way into good feelings. In one Australian experiment, scientists took two groups of baby lab rats: one where the rats had typical contact with their mothers and another that experienced extended periods of separation, inducing the equivalent of childhood trauma. The traumatized rats “were found to have higher levels of stress hormones,” reports the Sydney News Herald, “and fewer [stress relieving] receptors in the part of the brain which controls behavior.” Subsequently, when the traumatized rats were fed an all-junk-food diet, “the signals for anxiety and depression eventually disappeared.” With that in mind, it becomes a little clearer: Some of us have become physically incapable of a typical life without the assistance of pharmaceuticals, recreational drugs—or cheeseburgers. Memories, whether fond or traumatic, can’t make us get fat or get high. But the way we decide to respond to those memories certainly can. The choice is ours, of course. Millions of Americans have been able to rewire their brains in healthy patterns with the help of aids like exercise, psychology, antidepressants and spirituality. Still, it’s a cruel irony that some of the only ways we can immediately make ourselves feel better are so bad for us. And so goddamned tasty. n

TASTE OF PHILLY | PW’s 2014 DINING GUIDE

When Alton Brown comes to town

f you’re digging heartily into a favorite dish at your preferred neighborhood eatery this week, don’t be surprised if you look up into the winsome face of bespectacled foodist Alton Brown, one of the most respected countenances on TV today. The Food Network fixture’s nationwide Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour hits the Kimmel Center on Saturday, a stage spectacle that fuses live music, fun demonstrations, and even puppets to stoke the wonder and joy he’s brought to all-age audiences for well over a decade. Before and after showtime, the venerable Good Eats creator/ host plans to sample Philly restaurants recommended by locals; PW chatted with Brown ahead of his visit.

You’ve been saving up material for this tour for 10 years. Did you always envision taking your show on the road, or did the opportunity present itself, and by coincidence, you were amazingly prepared? No, I don’t believe in coincidence like that. It was very much premeditated. I had been keeping ideas for about 10 years, specifically for a road show—material that would not work on TV or just didn’t feel was appropriate for television. For me, it was always a matter of finding the time and the right partner and situation to do the road show. The right time I found by the fact that I stopped production on Good Eats, which had taken up 90 percent of my waking hours for 14 years.

Good Eats is certainly responsible for my kids’ interest in cooking, food science and having adventurous appetites. Do you hear that far and wide from other parents? I do. Not only do I hear it from the parents, I hear it from the kids themselves. There are kids now out of college who grew up watching the show and still really believe that Good Eats was responsible for their food life in a way. It is deeply satisfying to hear that—and hear it as often as we do, which is pretty much every day.

The Wall Street Journal ran an editorial recently sort of chastising Tom Colicchio for his work with Food Action Policy. How important do you think it is to improve food access and

affordability and support local and regional food systems? Well, it is an incredibly complex problem, one that I think can only be solved by, frankly, people making their own food. First and foremost, we have to cook for ourselves. I believe what Mark Bittman has been saying for years—and I have also—is that first, you can eat a lot more plants, and things tend to sort themselves out. I also believe in eating local as best as you can... but it is not so easy for people living in food deserts to do that. It’s a very complicated issue involving access, regulation and transportation. I don’t think there are any easy answers to it, but I don’t believe that our health problems come so much out of grocery stores as they do fast food.

Philly, of course, has an array of noted chefs: Kevin Sbraga, Nicholas Elmi, Iron Chef Jose Garces. What do you think of Philadelphia as a food town? There is a crepe place called Crêperie Beau Monde that I really like a lot, but I’m going to be honest: I have eaten almost not a bite in your town. We are doing a program called AB Road Eats on Twitter, and we’re only eating at places that are recommended by the fans, so we’ll be taking the top five, and that’s where I will be eating during the [Philly tour stop]. It will be strictly fan-generated... We are going to stay away from the big, five-star restaurants and the big famous chefs—and just eat what folks eat. — SHEENA LESTER Sat., Nov. 8, 8pm. $60-$150.

Year of Beer

Don’t Fear the Darkness Assertive stouts and porters join the season’s better offerings.

Russian River Supplication. The American craft beer movement has been on something of a sour kick the last few years. A great deal of the credit for that goes to California’s Russian River, a small but highly influential brewery that rarely gets east of the Rockies. In fact, Philly and the surrounding area is the only place you’ll find their beer here in the east. And Supplication, a brown ale aged with cherries in pinot noir barrels, is worth finding. This brew looks unassuming enough, then your nose gets near the glass, and you’re greeted with an acidic sour tang, cherries and mulled wine. Cherries come through in the taste, but are quickly washed away by sourness, vinous red wine and old leather. It’s a stunning, complex combination that grows more rewarding with each sip. Barcade is celebrating their third anniversary on Oct. 16 by tapping this, so get it before it’s gone.

Starr Hill Cryptical Imperial Stout. The imperial stout is a more widely varied category than many people realize. This big, dark style can range from intensely bitter to cloyingly sweet and can have flavors that range from sweet chocolate to astringent coffee to sharp licorice. Virginia’s Starr Hill throws their hat into the imperial stout ring with Cryptical, a creamy smooth brew that distinguishes itself with up-front anise and licorice. Sweet chocolate and mild coffee make an appearance, as you’d expect, but this isn’t sort of beerforces you usually get the from the histoo, Halloween, Geekadelphia and the Indychewy Hall combined to throw style.

Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner. Fact: Anyone who tries to tell you that the folks at Samuel Adams don’t experiment in brewing just doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Case in point, the newly introduced Hallertau Imperial Pilsner, a big ol’ beer that pushes the boundaries of what a pilsner can be. Pilsners are meant to be light, brisk beers for consuming in quantity, usually with food. You won’t be drinking this 8.6 percent ABV beer in quantity. Aromas of pear and lemon lightly greet the nose, while straw, soft banana and toasted malts greet your taste buds. This is offset by assertive, citrus-laden hops with surprisingly floral, herbal undertones. At over 100 IBU, the bitterness is sharp, yet the beer remains drinkable (until that ABV catches up with you). See for yourself how they turn a traditional style on its head at Grey Lodge, Tria Taproom, Moriarity’s Pub and Isaac Newton’s. Philadelphia Joe Coffee Porter. It’s easy to support the home team when they give you beers worth drinking. And Joe, a coffee porter made by Philadelphia Brewing Company right here in (duh) Philly, is certainly worth drinking. This deep brown beer has a tiny white head that disappears quickly, leaving behind a thin beer that gives off strong aromas of java. The taste offers roasted malts, mild caramel and the faintest touch of earthiness, but the star of the show is all that coffee. With the rich, chocolate-like taste of cold-brewed goodness that will appeal to anyone who likes a cup untainted by milk or sugar, this is a coffee lover’s delight. Soft hops provide a little balance, but again, it’s all about the coffee. If you like java beers, swing over to Good Dog or Interstate Drafthouse, and see how the locals do it.

Dogfish Head Midas Touch. It would be a fair to ask if Dogfish Head’s Midas Touch actually qualifies as beer. The ingredient certainly list doesn’t look as you’d expect: In addition to barley, it’s made with honey, grapes and saffron. It doesn’t taste like any beer you’ve ever had either, having far more in common with a sparkling chardonnay or dry mead than it does with a glass of ale, and yet this hybrid beverage is considered a beer all the same. That isn’t an altogether bad thing, since Midas Touch adds even more diversity to the already staggering array of styles available to us. Boasting a dry finish, a honeykissed sweetness and a flowery herbal aroma touched lightly with hops, this highly effervescent brew is the kind of drink you sip on over a fine meal. You won’t be downing multiple pints of this— at 9 percent ABV, you’ll be on the floor sooner rather than later—but you will find yourself astonished at how diverse beer can be. Try it at Barcade and The Pour House Westmont. // ERIC SAN JUAN Follow PW’s Year of Beer online weekdays at: philadelphiaweekly.com/drinks

Year of Beer

Yeastern Standard Time Five brews to try upon the coming of the first frost.

Sly Fox Dunkel. When the weather starts to turn, the bright, zesty beers of summer no longer hit the spot the way they used to. Fruity beers seem wrong somehow, and session IPAs don’t have the pleasant warming quality of an autumn beer. When the first frost hits, other styles seem better suited for drinking. One of them is the dunkel, a dark lager traditional in Germany—and brewed to tradition right in Pottstown by Sly Fox. This light brown beer pours with a huge, frothy white head, telling you right off the bat this is a German-style brew. Aromas of pumpernickel bread and sweet malts give way to brown sugar, toasted grains—and candy corn, with only subdued bitterness to balance it out. Eminently drinkable and perfect for pairing with sausage and pretzels, this yummy fall beer is on tap at Good Dog, The Pour House Exton and McGillin’s Olde Ale House.

Hofbrau Munchen Original. If the move into autumn means anything for beer drinkers, it means a return to lagers, even if only temporarily. Fermented at colder temperatures than ales and traditionally undergoing a cold aging process before being packaged—the name “lager” is taken from “lagering,” which refers to the cold storage of beer—they tend to have a cool smoothness that is well-suited for autumn days. Couple that with their ability to pair with all manner of food, and it’s no wonder that beers like Hofbrau Munchen are so good in the month of November. This Helles lager is bitterer than you expect, with slightly spicy hops and an Earthy aroma that should please those who prefer ales, while retaining the easy drinkability of traditional lagers. Simple and approachable, it’s ideal for nippy November days at Bru Craft & Wurst and Craft House & Beer Garden.

Brooklyn 1/2 Ale. The chilly days of mid-autumn are best spent eating massive amounts of comfort food with good friends, preferably while sharing a pitcher or three. The problem is that those pitchers add up and can make the walk home tough. Unless, of course, the beer is only 3.4 percent ABV. And believe it or not, a beer that mellow really can be quite tasty. Brooklyn’s 1/2 Ale is proof of that: This low-impact saison is low impact in alcohol only. When it comes to taste, it’s the perfect beer for those autumn days when the sun peeks out from the clouds. Orange peel, lemongrass, sweet grains and juicy bitterness dominate, with light yeast and mild grassy wildness adding further interest. You’ll only know it’s low-impact because you’ll find yourself ordering another pitcher. Try it at Perch Pub and Sidecar Bar & Grille.

Sprecher Black Bavarian. Anyone who tells you lagers are boring probably hasn’t had a beer like Sprecher’s Black Bavarian, a big, warming brew that serves as an excellent prelude to the coming winter months. Black Bavarian is a schwarzbier, a style of dark lager popular in Germany, but it’s a schwarzbier turned up to eleven. Almost inky black with a deep tan head, it kicks up the sort of aromas you don’t typically expect in a lager: coffee, cocoa, and even a touch of molasses. Rich roast greets your tongue, teasing out notes of coffee and chocolate. The body is full and almost creamy; meanwhile, prickly hops tickle the tongue in the finish. This is no imperial stout, though. You won’t feel as if you’re challenging your gut to a fight by drinking more than one—so feel free to ask the folks at Time, where this is on draft, for a second.

Boulevard Saison-Brett. When the temperature cools in November, it also gets rainy and damp, giving the air an earthy, wild feel. It’s almost as if the world becomes an open-air basement—but in an oddly pleasant way. That’s sort of what this beer is like. Boulevard takes its already excellent saison and conditions it with Brettanomyces, a strain of yeast that imparts a wild, funky character to beers in which it’s allowed to run wild. Still relatively young—this beer is going to change a lot with age—it’s got a bright, grapefruit-laden tang that will lift your spirits on a rainy day. Yeast thick with banana greets the nose, and grassy grains and peppery notes greet the tongue. The Brett then brings out hints of leather, a bit of barnyard funk, and very mild sourness. World class stuff, this. This beer is limited, so get thee to The Pour House Exton and try it. Follow PW’s Year of Beer online weekdays at: philadelphiaweekly.com/drinks

Derrick Hodge

hilly-born, Temple-made bassist-composer Derrick Hodge has proven himself an awesome aural force, his artistic output clearly deserving of all the applause it’s received since the 35-year-old first made noise in musicians’ circles, even while still in school. Back then, he was trudging alongside Philly R&B upstarts like Musiq Soulchild, Floetry and Jill Scott, giving their respective sounds’ grit some bottom-boomed heft. Since then, of course, Hodge has gone on to work with an array of top-rated artists across genres galore, even serving a stint as musical director and bandleader for soul sensation Maxwell and composer of scores for Spike Lee and Philly starchild-author-filmmaker M.K. Asante. A stand-out member of the Grammy-winning Robert Glasper Experiment and onesixth of Our Point of View, a supergroup comprised of Glasper, Ambrose Akinmusire, Lionel Loueke, Marcus Strickland and Kendrick Scott, Hodge is finally getting his solo shine via his impressive 2013 debut LP, Live Today, a collection that ranked among key top-10 lists of the year’s best. And now, all these years later, he’s helming a seven-show junket, leading three musicians in three cities for four dates—and it’s starting where he did: right here in Philly. | Wed., Nov. 12, 9pm. $15.

hen Patrick McGee and I spoke recently, it felt like we were sitting in his Montreal living room chitchatting about pop-culture stuff and records, sipping Manhattans that he’d made. A couple weeks ago, he tells me, “I made my first acceptable Manhattan. I’m on a bit of a tear. I’m thrilled.” His band, Stars, which he joined shortly before Set Yourself On Fire, their third album, catapulted the five-piece into indie rock stardom 10 years ago at a veritable Renaissance moment in Canadian rock thanks to one of my all-time favorite labels, Arts & Crafts. “That was somewhat of a seminal moment,” says McGee, Stars’ drummer. “It was just a bunch of friends, a collective of musicians who’d been hanging out together forever. Let’s actually do this —let’s start a record label,” was the idea, he says, to “wheel em’ into one roof.” Then we peer down the nostalgia hole. “We snuck in right before the true implosion. Kind of like the last record label to get in under the wire, before it all went south.” “You mean before people stopped buying records?” I ask. “Yup. That’s exactly what I mean,” he answers, a man who admits to having grown up with tapes and records. CDs, surprisingly, he thinks are bullshit. “I got rid of all my CDs. I haven’t bought a CD in 15 years—because CDs were pieces of plastic garbage,” McGee says, his voice dripping with vitriol. “Those Discmans didn’t work. They’d skip … and your CDs would be scratched after six months. Tapes were for walking around [with], and vinyl was for lying on your bed, feeling depressed at night time or sitting by the fire on Sunday after family dinner or something.” Of course, if you had Stars’ three-weeks-old eighth LP, No One Is Lost—these days they’re on ATO Records—on vinyl, you sure as hell wouldn’t be lying around. You’d be on your feet, whipping your hair about and shimmying your hips and shoulders. They’re more fun than they’ve ever been and go-

SCREEN Interstellar

(Director: Christopher Nolan / Writers: Jonathan and Christopher Nolan)

hristopher Nolan does nothing by halves: Everything’s an epic. Interstellar is no different, as it charts a pioneering space mission searching for a habitable exoplanet before Earth suffocates, while it feels, at times, like Nolan challenging himself to balance the cosmic scope with human stakes. Whether the personal works against the vast will depend on your personal threshold for Matthew McConaughey’s restrained, manful weeping about his family back home. But what a cosmic scope there is. In the hands of cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, Interstellar viscerally captures the visuals of space travel—silent, carried on a knife’s edge and backdropped by the void—bolstered by Hans Zimmer’s distinctly ecclesiastical score, where deep space is an organist’s heaven. With the planet-byplanet realization that nature’s been unimaginably kind to Earth, they face down an increasingly hamstrung mission. And as Brand (Anne Hathaway) reminds Cooper (McConaughey) of their clear and present danger—nature can be destructive, but doesn’t carry evil—and it’s only a matter of time before the human element leaves its legacy behind one way or the other. As with Gravity, a sister fable about survival among the stars, Interstellar isn’t subtle. Their project’s the Lazarus Mission, their first leader was Dr. Mann, and Cooper’s daughter is Murphy. (Yes, after the law.) But there’s a bitter undercurrent against men in power who kept humanity in the dark, which brings some edge amid the sentiment. And the wrenching decisions the mission must make in the wake of relative time and dwindling fuel provide a tidy parallel to the endangered population on the ground, whose environmental circumstances are dire—and all too recognizable. Though the family ties don’t quite hold, Interstellar gives us an epic of space travel as desperate necessity, at a time when its science fiction hits perilously close to home. (Genevieve Valentine)

Big Hero 6 (Directors: Don Hall and Chris Williams / Writer: Robert L. Baird)

here’s no concept-honing machine like Disney. For decades, Disney’s been calibrating the blend of sibling togetherness that makes for optimum poignancy, and working on the perfect kiddie companion. Robots? But of course. And superheroes? You must be joking. It’s no surprise, then, that Big Hero 6 is a savvy combination of brotherly love, students just waiting to become a superteam and a show-stealing robot best friend. Luckily, there’s a genuine sense of glee beneath the architecture that helps the movie feel like more than just an introduction to the robot out to steal your heart. Not that young Hiro and the snappily-named supporting cadre aren’t fun; they’re as caring and playful as required and represent a casual camaraderie and diversity that movies could always use more of. However, though their action balances humor and comedy, the movie’s well aware that the superhero stuff is colorful window-dressing for the big guy. The huggable, deadpan, slyly adorable Baymax (voiced to perfection by Scott Adsit) is both the movie’s signature visual and its emotional fulcrum. And as Hiro’s quest starts to seem more like revenge, Baymax also takes over as the movie’s moral compass. It’s also visually ambitious. Disney’s only slightly more invested in spot-on storytelling than it is in breathtaking animation. Liberally adapted from the Marvel comic team, Big Hero 6 moves the action to “San Fransokyo,” with elegant fog, gleaming architecture and seedy alleys with underground bot fighting. But the future’s a playground, and the animation shines in the details of this superhero science-fair, from 3D printing magic to superhero gear, and the nuances of the vinyl big guy offer classic physical comedy and heartstring-tugging. That visual exuberance underscores its heroes’ enthusiasm, and even when Baymax steals the show, it’s hard to deny he’s a charmingly squishy center. (G.V.)

The Gravity of Interstellar The wrenching reality—and consummate peril—of travel from Earth underscore space’s final frontier as the movies’ ultimate villain. By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

“S

pace: the final frontier,” Star Trek’s voiceover promised us on television half a century ago, as the disc of the Enterprise shone bright against starry space. The discoveries of that crew were unapologetically social science fiction, using alien allegories to address issues much closer to home, and the limited budget meant that many alien planets looked suspiciously similar, give or take a few smoke machines. But the sheer casualness of sailing the stars was part of a cultural shift in the way we viewed space: not as a ceiling, but as a road. America’s space program was going gangbusters throughout the show’s three-season run, and its popularity went hand in hand with rising interest in all things NASA. The show premiered Sept. 8, 1966, four days before the launch of Gemini XI, manned by astronauts Pete Conrad and Richard Gordon. Four months after the series ended, they would both be part of the Apollo 12 crew, and walk on the moon. The current upheaval in America’s space program—the end of the Space Shuttle, cuts to NASA’s funding and privatization— is a very different environment. It’s one in which the International Space Station’s ongoing mission is a quiet affair; its astronauts only really see public recognition if their social media accounts go viral. (Several have, leading to some spectacular photography that feels like it could have been taken out of a porthole of the NCC-1701.) And despite increasingly public dialogue about the devastating effects of climate change, our tech has yet to develop fast enough, so for now, the idea of humans in longrange travel remains the stuff of science fiction. Space exploration is far from abandoned, of course—satellites are scattered through the solar system, exoplanets are being mapped in the thousands, that Space Station is going strong over our heads, and India launched Mangalyaan toward Mars six weeks ago. But Orbital Sciences Corporation’s rocket, Antares, suffered a critical explosion 15 seconds off the launch pad on Oct. 28, returning to earth in flaming debris. And less than a week ago, Virgin Ga-

lactic’s SpaceShipTwo crashed during a test flight, killing one of its pilots and setting back the dream of human-crewed flight that much longer. It’s no wonder, then, that the last few years have seen a resurgence in films about the nobility of one-way space missions. Perhaps none have been quite so determinedly American (or masculine, or unceasingly basso profundo) in their worldview as this week’s Interstellar. (Though there was a fond bedrock of American resourcefulness in Gravity, it was slightly less reliant on manly questing, and Europa Report and Sunshine managed to have international crews.) But Interstellar’s quest for a habitable planet for humanity’s first colony ties neatly with both current agricultural crises and the wrenching reality of leaving Earth behind. In fact, all these movies feature missions for the greater good. Some are optimistic—like Gravity’s telescope upgrades—while Sunshine and Interstellar carry the weight of saving the human race in short order. And though some of these movies offer human villainy, there’s sufficient antagonism in that cocktail of wonder and doom that comes from space itself: so desperately precarious, so unthinkingly hostile. Are there any higher stakes than the airless cold waiting if you can’t open the airlock in time? Is there a more efficient villain than the relativity of time that drags you years away from your loved ones in a single hour? Is it worth everything to be the first human ever to lay eyes on the unknown? Is there anything more noble than knowing you’re doomed and using your last moments to restart the sun for everyone back home? Compared to Star Trek, in which only redshirts and bad guys ever died, this recent spate might seem particularly fatalistic. However, science fiction always reflects the present, and uncertain times call for doomed ventures. Until science fiction becomes merely science, movies will never tire of looking up at the inky blackness above us, dreaming of those faraway stars. 

REVISE 1

Advise and consent: Asking For It star Adrienne Truscott may have recently gotten into standup comedy, but she’s got the chops of a studied pro. (Photo by J.R. Blackwell)

magically had her green slip dress and a banana. These things will make sense to you when you see the show. Truscott joked about the way men cited First Amendment rights when Tosh was criticized for an L.A. comedy moment that went wrong when he told a heckler that he hoped she gets raped. She joked about roofies and how she tried to take a guy home with a little kerplunk, but once she laboriously dragged him up five flights of stairs and got him on her kitchen floor, well, she realized she’d need some Viagra to really take advantage of him. She joked about how women are sent to college and told how they’re gonna have a roommate who they’ll be BFFs with forever, plus how much they’re gonna learn—and Oh, here’s a rape whistle. Asking For It is a one-lady rape about comedy that is not for the faint of heart. You might see some skin and, obviously, when Truscott shows it, she is most definitely not asking for it. Beers help. So does checking your sense of outrage at the door. Just let her make you laugh, and let those laughs turn into great, critical thoughts when she takes a bow and runs off stage. Trust me. It’s best that way.  Through Nov. 16. $20-$25. The Skybox at the Adrienne Theatre Center, 2030 Sansom St. 215.423.0254. simpaticotheatre.org

ake in this title and tagline for a moment: Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy And Little Else! Now read it again. One more time. A one-lady rape about comedy, you ask? Yes, indeed: This is Truscott’s deliciously challenging and strangely sexy one-woman show about rape. And yes, it is hilarious. First, let me here and now state that I am firmly against rape. And against rape culture: I actively try to advocate for language sensitivity and calling out inappropriate peer behavior. But sometimes it just feels so much greater than us. How can we make even small changes in an overwhelmingly male-friendly culture that treats sexually voracious men as studs and their female counterparts as whores and sluts? Is it possible to meaningfully chip away at gender inequality in pay? Why do we force girls to “be prepared” and “protect themselves,” but we don’t tell our boys to ensure consent and respect physical boundaries? Well, it’s got to start somewhere—and with someone— and Truscott’s doing it with humor. Though she’s recently gotten into stand-up, she came across as a pretty wizened and studied novice. Let’s get a couple details out of the way: Truscott showed her lady parts, sparkly and bare before our very eyes, for basically the first half of the show, and beer flowed. At the Adrienne’s Skybox, they had a little bar with cold Yuenglings, and Truscott herself sipped on Coors throughout her set and even had a Maker’s Mark cheers with (a photo of ) Bill Cosby. Cleverly, Truscott had portraits of some of the biggest perpetrators of rape jokes in comedy: Daniel Tosh, Adam Carolla, Andrew Dice Clay, you name it. There were at least 15, maybe 20. And she even used her bare belly at some very smart moments that meshed performance art with comedy, having comedians’ still mugs projected onto it with a conspicuously moving mouth and their goatees provided by her pubic hair. She started off a little rocky, seemingly because the audience may not have known exactly what they’d signed up for, but was comfortably in command after about 10 minutes of warm-up jokes. “How many people in the audience have been raped?” she asked with great enthusiasm and intrigue. “How many have you raped before?” Not surprisingly, no one really raised their hands. Statistically, she pointed out, there’s bound to be at least one rapist in the room. And perhaps more on the victim front. The humor, I was starting to see, smartly delivered the messages she was laying bare. Rape is just rude, she kidded. Like, say you’re getting drunk with a friend, and you end up crashing at one or the other’s house because you don’t want to stumble all the way home or pay for a cab. You wake up, and the hosting party offers cereal and, after asking you if you want sugar on your cereal and you say no, they pour it on anyway! Rude! And serial rape. Get it? She came to the stage with a massive head of blond wig and big ol’ pink-bra’ed boobs underneath a denim jacket. But before you knew it, she was peeling off one item after another—and someone in the audience

Eating for Mating Food is sexy because, well, sex is foody. So if you want to taste good...

e deliberate between looks and personality when picking a life partner, but the greatest arbiter of sheer sexual chemistry is sense of smell. Your nose can tell you more about a person’s lineage, health, culture and genetic compatibility with you than months of dating and heart-to-heart conversations. Without any conscious realization of it, we sniff out each other’s chromosomes and if the mixing of our genes would probably result in some stellar offspring, we experience physical arousal in response. And since sense of smell is so closely tied with memory, we strongly associate the feeling of being turned on with a specific person’s scent. You’ve probably had it before: catch a whiff of that perfume and you’re instantly transported to a feeling, no matter how long ago. It’s why you might feel more comfortable sleeping in a bed that smells like your partner, or want to sniff their T-shirt when they’re out of town for a few days. And if you know anything about taste, you know how much it’s ultimately about smell. You might have seen people take blindfolded taste tests and learned that, without sight, we still can do a decent job of identifying foods and beverages. Even in the dark you know the difference between Yuengling and vodka, mashed potatoes and apple sauce. But when sense of smell is taken away, even the most well trained foodies usually fall apart, failing epically at even identifying the food group. Which brings me back to sexual attraction. If smell is super closely associated with arousal, you can imagine that taste is too. Some researchers theorize that the reason humans started kissing and engaging in oral sex is to assess each other as potential mates. We use all possible senses to figure out whether someone is healthy and if breeding with them would be a good use of our genetic resources. Of course, anything that helped our ancestors survive and reproduce is something that probably feels good to us now. So sex feels good and we like smelling and tasting each other. So let’s say you want to maximize the attractive powers of your body’s taste, getting your goods as gourmet as they can be. We’re not talking fertility, simply the flavor. Take note: there’s never been a massive quantitative study conducted on this, simply years and years of anecdotal evidence. HEALTH FOOD If it’s beneficial for your body, it’s going to result in better quality spunk. Hydration, exercise and a diet high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains mean a smoothly running system, free of junk that messes with your chemistry. Alcohol, meat, caffeine, chocolate, dairy and smoking all are linked to bitter, less enjoyable semen and vaginal secretions. Vegetarians and vegans are often cited as producing the most pleasant results, though, be warned: Asparagus, onions, garlic, brussel sprouts and other pungent veggies influence more than just the smell of your pee. Cinnamon is a go, but many other spices are not. POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME Naturally occurring sugars, like the fructose in fruit is important for human bodies. Vitamin C is known to improve all

Timaree says: Make sure that cake is fruity...

measures of sperm quality, including number, motility and morphology but citrus fruits (which often contain vitamin C) are also strongly associated with a sweeter taste. Drinking fruit juice a few hours before sex can add a noticeable saccharinity. For diabetics, who process sugar differently, the effect can be even more dramatic. WHAT ELSE? As I mentioned, a person’s taste is a measure of health. So illness or some sexually transmitted infections might lead to a funktified flavor. If a partner tastes or smells full-out foul to you, especially if it’s over time and not related to anything hormonally cyclical, that might warrant a visit to a doctor. Hygiene matters, stress is never good, and tightly fitting clothes mean less room for your bits to breathe. There’s also the very important matter that vaginas aren’t supposed to taste like cupcakes, they’re supposed to taste like vaginas, so keep all of this in perspective. We’re talking about accentuating the best possible natural odors, not obliterating them in favor of artificial ones. Again: We’re instinctively drawn to human smells, even if we’ve been socialized to cover them with chemicals. This isn’t the sort of thing that’s usually going to make or break a relationship, but if you value knowing how your plumbing works and how to make visits as pleasant as possible, it might be worth integrating this information into your diet. And again, anything that’s going to spruce up the place taste-wise is probably good for the entire system, and your animal brain knows that. 

SAVAGE LOVE By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net Is this even Dan? Probably not, probably an assistant. I have a spanking fetish. I love to be spanked. San Francisco is 10 minutes away. Seems like I’m in one of the best places in the country to have a kink, but I’m having a hard time figuring out where I can find a spanking community. I know there are BDSM clubs, but is there another way I can connect with spanking people? Sincerely Panicked And Needing Knowledgeable Mentorship, Edification

The exact same things that make this arrangement feel so safe and so logical—your wives were friends before you and your brother married them, the four of you were tight before your wives started fucking each other—will turn this into a screaming nightmare should things go south. If things get messy— if there’s one or more conflicts that require taking sides—you and your brother are going to find yourself in positions that make Reverse Cowgirl Bleached Anal Handstand look easy. Because you’re all so close. But the train has already left the station: Your wives are doing each other, and they’d like to date, and you and your brother want to keep watching your wives fuck. I would advise you all to get together for nonalcoholic beverages and for everyone to promise that you will be mature, reasonable and forgiving adults if/when this—the wives dating, the semi-incestuous (but maritally binary) quad-ways— comes to an end. As for the incest and long-term angles: Watching your brother fuck someone strikes me as creepy, BRAHS, but it doesn’t meet the legal definition of incest. So Yahtzee for you. And while I haven’t heard of an arrangement like this working out over the long-term, I’ve also never heard of an arrangement like this. Some things you expect to work out don’t, and some things you don’t expect to work out do. Good luck, gang. 

We have a new shorthand term for BDSM doms who are abusive assholes: Ghomeshi doms. Good guys into BDSM should stick this in their online profiles: “I’m a nice, non-Ghomeshi dom looking for a lady who is into…” Banish Abusive Doms

My brother and I married two incredible women. Our wives were good friends before we started dating them. My brother has always been my best friend, so the four of us spend a lot of time together. Recently, a couple of drinks turned into a bunch, and then my wife and sister-in-law started making out. Then they fucked. It was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. We ended up pairing off with our respective partners and having sex in the same room. The next morning, the same thing happened again—wives fucked each other, we watched, then we fucked our wives in front of each other—and now my wife tells me that she and her friend would like to date each other. The group sessions would continue. (But no wifeswapping.) Everyone seems on board. I knew my wife was bi before we married, and we’ve talked before about her having a girlfriend. It’s hot, and it feels safe since we all trust each other. I guess my question is: Is this a terrible idea? Is it creepy and/or incestuous to watch your brother fuck his wife? Does this sound like a setup for the messiest breakup ever, or does something like this ever work out long-term? Brothers Respectfully Aroused Humping Spouses

This is Dan, SPANKME. I read all my own mail. And I found someone for you—all by my lonesome—who is more qualified than I to answer your question. “This lady sounds like she needs to be severely punished,” Jillian Keenan joked when she read your email. “I’d love to help her get what she deserves!” Keenan is a serious journalist who writes about very serious subjects—climate change, economic policy, nuclear proliferation—but she’s also a very serious spanking fetishist. She came out about her kink in a Modern Love column in The New York Times, and she’s written a series of pieces about kink, consent and stigma for Slate and other publications. So, SPANKME, where can you find your kink community? Where everybody finds their kink communities these days: online. “FetLife.com has profiles of more than 300,000 spanking fetishists, including several groups specifically for people in the Bay Area,” says Keenan. “FetLife is a good way to chat with people online and ease into the scene. On FetLife, she can also learn about where local spanking enthusiasts go for parties and munches.” Munches are informal get-togethers where kinksters meet to talk, not to play. You might connect with a potential playmate at a munch, but you won’t be pressured to play right away. “When she starts to meet potential playmates, the most important thing I can recommend is to be as detailed and honest as possible,” says Keenan. “What are her fantasies? Does she want to be spanked with a hand, hairbrush, belt, paddle or something else? Is she excited by any of our kink’s side dishes, like standing in a corner, being scolded or getting her mouth washed out with soap? What implements, activities, words or pain thresholds are absolutely off-limits? Such specific details can feel embarrassing at first, but if she talks about them honestly with a potential partner, it’s much more likely that she’ll find a good match and have a great experience!” A safe, responsible and trustworthy kinkster—the only kind of kinkster you ever want to play with— will agree to meet you in a public place to talk about your kinks and limits before setting up a playdate. If you find yourself talking with someone who refuses to meet prior to playing, they’re not a responsible or trustworthy kinkster. “But great dominants are not rare,” says Keenan. “It won’t take long to find someone else—someone with whom she’ll feel safe. And no matter what she and a potential partner agree on before a scene, she can always change her mind later if something feels uncomfortable. And there is absolutely no shame in using a safe word. So pick a fun one!” Follow Jillian Keenan on Twitter at @jilliankeenan.

Jian Ghomeshi is the CBC radio host who was fired last week after three women leveled accusations of sexual assault against him. Eight women have now spoken to the press; two have allowed themselves to be named. Ghomeshi claims that he is into BDSM and that all of these encounters were consensual, BAD, but I don’t believe the accusations depict a consensual kinkster. I believe they depict a serial abuser who leveraged his fame against the women he assaulted and who is now hiding behind the culture of consent that characterizes responsible BDSM communities and practitioners. So I think it would be a mistake for BDSMers to work his name—even in a negative sense—into their lingo/slang/shorthand. He’s not one of you. He never was.
