ONLINE, AUG. 15: “TRUMP-INSPIRED HATE HITS THE PLAZA”

DISTURBED As a native Santa Fean, this article disturbed me to my core. ... While I understand and respect the right to free speech, no one has the right to openly harass and demand to see “people’s papers/passports” or threaten violence.

This person is entitled to his opinion, wear his MAGA hat, his Trump t-shirt and unfortunately legally tote a gun openly in NM. But he cannot legally spew racial slurs, openly harass or threaten violence. What is wrong with the SFPD that they don’t act on this? Is this not some form of disturbing the peace, criminal mischief, malicious harassment or even criminal assault? ... The El Paso shooter’s mother let the police know that her son was perhaps a threat and they did nothing. We now unfortunately live in a time where we cannot ignore these warning signs. See something, say something, now do something. ... Kudos to the business owner who stood up to him and refused him service. The other business owners neeed to step up also. As a property owner and tax-paying citizen I will contact the mayor’s office and implore them not to let this hateful virus invade Santa Fe. ... We must have the courage to stand up and hold our elected officials and police department to account.

TRAGEDY IN WAITING I suppose we’re waiting for the lunatic to shoot someone and then there will be just cause to arrest him.

What has happened to our law enforcement and civility?

DOUBLE STANDARD? The same police department that arrested peaceful protestors at the Entrada two years ago, and brought felony charges against an Indigenous woman because her cardboard sign accidentally brushed against two of these oafs, can’t be bothered to respond to direct threats of violence.

Sounds right.

NOT TRUMP’S FAULT My issue is I’ve seen racism long before Trump was in office, so I don’t agree with the “it’s Trump’s fault” narrative. I don’t support this guy, or any other person that’s giving good conservatives a bad name like this. Illegal immigration is an issue, and making a scene like this is not the correct way to resolve issues.

ONLINE, AUG. 16: “MAYOR RESPONDS TO PLAZA HARASSMENT”

CITY INACTION I have an extremely hard time believing that there is nothing SFPD and the city can do about this. It’s shameful and appalling that they have let it go on as long as they have.

This is not freedom of speech, the authorities in Santa Fe are giving this man a free pass to harass and verbally assault people and someone is going to end up hurt or dead. Cowards.

speech and racist intimidation of people trying to make a lawful living in a public square, the mayor should instruct the police to arrest this man and let him wait for Trump to send a lawyer who will assume the mayor’s inexplicable and self appointed role of protecting this man’s alleged rights to threaten and harasses peaceful people with his loaded gun on hand while advising the rest of us to keep our emotions in check as he does nothing.

FOCUS ON COMMUNITY I don’t think the city attorney nor police are the answer to this. It has been occurring on a regular basis the last few years. People who come here and don’t know the history and that they are stepping into other’s land. There has to be a limit on accommodating tourists, for the economy’s sake, and taking care of the people that are actually from here, and are responsible for the charm.

ISCAH HUNDSEN CAREY VIA FACEBOOK

HISTORIC PRECEDENTS Can’t decide what is more horrifying—this racist intimidation of violence in our midst, or the mayor’s warning the rest of us to make the choice to ignore such terrorizing behavior and just walk on by, while he and the police chief seemingly wring their hands, conjure imaginary rights that are likely inapplicable to these facts, and hope it will all just pass by. Quietly turning the other cheek doesn’t work with bullies in the school yard, it doesn’t work with stopping men who sexually harass women on our streets, and it surely didn’t work in pre-war Nazi Germany.

The mayor would do well to remember Robert Kennedy’s warning that “Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency and justice.” Rather than preoccupying himself with due process and constitutional rights that a first year law student could successfully argue do not apply in the face of terror, hate

THE STRUGGLE IS ALIVE The reason democracy has worked in this country’s short history is because we expect legalities to align with morality.

I am a peaceful person by nature but will fight tooth and nail for correct and moral thinking vs obvious wrongs committed under the shield of a law that no longer protects citizens but only corporate interests … especially when protecting our beautiful planet so that it is able to continue hosting all life including our own progeny.

O

ne thing I hear from readers of SFR all the time—aside from how I’m a monster—it’s how they might not have heard about such-and-such arts or music or museum event if they hadn’t picked up an issue and flipped to the culture section.

This is not only one of my all-time favorite things to hear, it’s something I know to be true firsthand, because I’ve been a reader of this paper since long before I worked here. I learned of touring acts and up-and-coming artists; exhibits I just had to see and foods I just had to try. It made me feel informed, but it also made me feel seen and like I was a part of a community right alongside the journalists committed to bringing me news and culture with a punk rock edge.

Then, as now, it was perfectly normal to reach out the the staff of SFR. I myself have written more than one angry letter to the Reporter, and I like to think we foster a similar gestalt today. Say what you will about us—you know who we are, because we’re in the community alongside you. How many among you can say you wound up with coverage because you texted me, messaged me on Facebook or because you ran into me someplace? Probably a lot of you. This doesn’t mean I am promising coverage, favorable or otherwise—we’re just one small paper—but if you don’t already have my cell number and email, I’ll gladly give them to you, ask anyone.

It’s about commitment to the arts, food, film and music of a town that has so long declared itself on the cusp of a cultural revolution that it’s actually coming true. It’s about commitment to coverage in a variety of mediums, from oil painters, millennial and Generation Z rockers, DJs, touring bands and locals; tattooers, makers, writers, gallerists, thinkers, tour guides, DIY curators, etc. Does it sound amazing? I want to know about it.

I fully admit that we can always do better. That’s something we’re striving toward every day, and you can ask anyone who knows us how often we’re working. It’s because we want to bring differing viewpoints within the scene and hold space for some band or artist you would never otherwise have heard about. Personally, I want more LGBTQIA2+ voices in our pages, and to hire queer and outsider writers, artists and activists any chance I get. I want to hear from you about how and where our arts coverage can improve and do my best to implement those things.

Because I also like to think we’ve earned your trust, and I’d like to think we’ll be around long enough to carry on uplifting, critiquing, engaging and otherwise celebrating the arts in this town that I, and we and you love so much. We’re here for you, at your pleasure, as long as you’ll have us, and with your help in our new Friends of the Reporter program, I’m hoping that winds up being a very long time.

Lessons from Legalization As NM closes in on transition to legal cannabis, patient experiences in other states offer guidance

BY ZANE VORENBERG a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

B

efore recreational cannabis launched in the Pacific Northwest, Katie Hansen, a medical marijuana patient with multiple complex issues, had a deep network of growers and providers that could get her exactly the medications she needed.

In the wake of the growing recreational industries in Washington and Oregon, however, the task of getting her meds has become much more difficult. And that’s a warning she and other medical marijuana patients and advocates in legal recreational states would like to pass on to New Mexico as it continues to consider launching recreational cannabis through legislative action.

“My single biggest comment about Oregon is the state systematically left us out and has continued to reduce our program to the point that having a medical card means almost nothing anymore,” Hansen tells SFR. “The profit is in the THC and quantity. Our strains have been diluted, we still don’t have a law regarding chemicals used in grows, and growers are walking away from medical because it costs too much to make it worth it.”

In Washington state, where Hansen was also a patient before she moved to Oregon, the medical system was rolled into the recreational system a few years after stores opened in 2014. As a result, testing requirements for medical products in the market are more strict, which has caused patient price increases and made growers less eager to produce medical-grade products like suppositories or patches. With the recreational market, it’s more profitable for them to produce high-THC items like flower and vapes, but that’s left medical patients with fewer medications to choose from.

“Finding meds that don’t make me sick has been difficult,” Hansen says.

“Shops in Washington are required to

disclose the pesticides they use, at least, but Oregon does not. … Often times I go without or end up wasting money on something that makes me sick.”

New Mexico state Rep. Javier Martínez, D-Albuquerque, who spearheaded HB 356, the Cannabis Regulation Act, in the last legislative session, says patients are foremost on the minds of lawmakers who continue to evaluate a recreational cannabis launch.

Martinez is also part of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s Working Group on Cannabis Legalization, which is tasked with protecting medical marijuana as it works out a structure for recreational cannabis.

“We’re really focused on three things to protect patients,” Martinez says. “One is to require that licensees hold about a third of their inventory for medical patients. Two is that medical products should be exempt from taxes.

And three is that we are creating a subsidy for low-income cannabis patients to afford their medicine.”

Lorna Gayle, a patient activist and cannabis producer in Oregon, says she thinks the New Mexico idea of using some of the taxes to help pay for medicine for patients is a good idea, and one she hasn’t seen elsewhere.

“Additionally, perhaps, they’d consider discounted card fees for low income patients or veterans,” Gayle says. “When Oregon went recreational, patients lost out as the medical program was modified. Registered medical growers became discouraged as the rules changed, fees increased and growers were no longer able to recover the asso-

ciated costs. This resulted in decreased growers, and therefore a reduction in the number of patients being helped.”

The price spikes in Oregon have come down a bit in recent months due to a vast oversupply of cannabis in the state. But quality remains an issue for patients because most of that cannabis is not medical grade. Edible pricing in the recreational market is also an issue for patients. Washington, Oregon and Colorado all have 10 milligram dose limits on recreational cannabis products, and when medical patients have to buy medications like that, they often need 100 or even 1,000 milligram doses. Purchasing those large doses from the recreational market is prohibitively expensive, she said.

The problems for medical cannabis patients have also occurred in neighboring Colorado, which also began recreational cannabis in 2014. Bridget Dan-

daraw-Seritt, co-founder and CEO of the Cannabis Patient Rights Coalition of Colorado, says the focus on recreational cannabis and associated profits has also deeply damaged the medical system in her state.

“It’s a disaster,” Dandaraw-Seritt says. “Not in the sense that adult use has legalized, but the medical system has been gutted, and I think that’s by design.”

New Mexico Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, who also worked on the legalization bill, said he thinks requiring recreational growers to dedicate a portion of their grows for medical could be a solution to some of the potential supply issues.

“We did have a provision in the original bill that required any current medical cannabis producer to maintain 40% of production in medical,” Ortiz y Pino tells SFR. “We need to have enough product going into medical to make sure people can get what they need.”

Another provision in that bill would have dedicated about 2% of the proceeds from recreational cannabis taxes to subsidize medical costs for patients.

Both provisions could go into a new bill, but the details are under debate in the governor’s working group, he says.

Marissa Novel, a spokeswoman for Ultra Health, New Mexico’s biggest medical cannabis provider, says her company is dedicated to continuing to provide quality medical products to the market, but it also plans on moving into the recreational market when and if it’s legalized.

“A big issue with protecting the medical program will be to make sure the medical program has enough product,” Novel says. “Right now, already, about a quarter of the people in our state can’t get the product they need. There’s just not enough supply to meet the demand.”

It’s difficult to predict whether a recreational cannabis bill will make it through the Legislature in the upcoming short session.

“It’s going to be difficult time-wise to get it through,” says Ortiz y Pino. “I’d give it a 50-50 chance in 2020, but I think by 2021, with the longer session, it will have a 75% or even 80% chance of passing.”

COURTESY DNCA ARCHITECTS

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / N E WS

An artist’s depiction of the proposed Vladem Contemporary in the Railyard.

Contemporary History The Vladem Contemporary, named for a donor who kicked in $4 million for the rights, is proposed as an addition to the Halpin State Archives building. DNCA Architects designed a “floating” structure that lays a long rectangle over the historic one at the second-story level, growing the footprint and creating some modern facades as well as restoring the original warehouse area.

There’s also the question of approval for the plan by the City of Santa Fe. In May, the state made a presentation to the city’s Historic Districts Review Board. Garcia y Greigo says the appearance was a courtesy to the city government and its residents, but DCA’s position is that the city does not have jurisdiction.

City Attorney Erin McSherry disagrees.

Although a series of meetings apparently took place years earlier between former Mayor Javier Gonzales, then-city attorney Kelly Brennan and other city officials and state project managers, neither the city nor the state can produce records about whatever agreement they made. Then, last December, McSherry asserted that the state needed to consult with the city to change the historic building and construct a new one because it was in a restricted Historic Transition District. By then, the state was already far along with its designs.

McSherry tells SFR in an interview Monday that her office was prepared in June to negotiate with the state about the

State admits review of Vladem art museum plan is required, albeit late

T

he New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs has declared that the planned contemporary art museum near the Santa Fe Railyard requires a state historic review—reversing course on a position the department held for years.

Previous leaders tried to steamroll the project over a review by the state Historic Preservation Division because the museum’s funding source is mostly private money raised by a foundation rather than state capital improvement cash. But Debra Garcia y Griego, named Cultural Affairs secretary by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in January, tells SFR she’s stepping on the brakes.

“I inherited a project—a wonderful, important project—that is pretty far down the path,” she says, conceding the decision means a delay on the timeline, and breaking a promise that the new museum would open next year.

“It’s unfortunate that the opportunity for formal public input did not occur earlier. The New Mexico Museum Foundation and DCA did do outreach during events but it was not through those established public channels,” Garcia y Griego adds.

Now, she says, the department is committed to the state review and to “making accommodations where possible while making prudent and reasonable decisions.”

The Department of Cultural Affairs hired an architect in 2017 to dream up a way to use the 1930s warehouse and its surrounding tract of land for a place to show off and store contemporary art—a bridge, they said, between new and old. Those plans are at least 90% complete, with $11 million in private donations and $4 million in state cash lined up for construction.

outcome of the H-board hearing, as outlined in the city code. She says that City Hall is now in a holding pattern, one that Gracia y Griego agrees is underway so DCA planners can respond to city and state feedback at the same time.

Some of the strongest voices of public opposition to the museum proposal include people who were involved in the planning for the adjacent Railyard area.

They especially oppose disrupting the view of the mountains from the Railyard Plaza.

Gayla Bechtol, an architect who worked on those planning processes in the 1980s and ‘90s, says it’s disheartening that the state worked so hard to “avoid scrutiny.”

Her main objective is that the building be shorter and less massive, but she tells SFR she remains cynical about the new planned review.

“What does that mean?” she says, noting that both the museum project planners and the department’s historic division answer to the cabinet secretary. “It’s the same department reviewing itself.”

Even though most of them voiced disdain that the hearing came so late in the process, comments from H-board delivered to DCA by the city attorney show some support.

“It is still confounding that this case circumvented (and still officially avoids) the review process outlined in the city’s ordinances,” writes member Anthony Guida. “Even though it does not conform

NEWS

to many of the city’s design standards, I am also in favor of the project’s general design approach, and the way in which it treats a contributing historic structure through formal and material contrast.”

Frank Katz, the board’s vice chair, illustrated nine points in which he says the proposal deviates from the code. Then, he summarized with two questions: “How can those of us charged with applying the city ordinance and preserving the city’s historic heritage simply brush aside all these standards and pretend they mean nothing? How can the DCA?” He suggested one solution could be to remove the parcel from the historic district boundary to “stop pretending” that the new building could be compliant.

The state hired Nicole RamirezThomas, a former city Historic Preservation Office senior planner, as a consultant to compile a report that includes the public comment from the city hearing and additional information for the state process. The state historic preservation officer’s review is anticipated to be complete in early September.

WHAT ARE THE STICKING POINTS? » Color: One of the museum’s main problems with public perception of the structure itself is based on early drawings that envisioned shiny metal cladding. Garcia y Griego says that idea is already off the table; now it’s “a shade of brown.” » Size and mass: “Some people don’t like it; some people think it’s fine,” she summarizes. The building is proposed to be just under 43 feet at its highest point—shorter than the 52-foot pitched roof on the Garfield building nearby. » The mural: Between 1980 and 1982 local artists painted the building’s east facade facing Guadalupe Street. DCA continues to “be in conversations with the artist about the best way forward.” (In May, project representative Peter Brill said the state has appropriated $52,000 for a new mural and is negotiating with a surviving artist.) » The quote: A wooden beam that says “A nation that forgets its past has no future,” and the plaques that honor the name of former state records administrator Joseph Halpin are now planned to remain on site.

Every dance has a purpose A new generation of Santa Fe flamenco dancers work to master the craft

WORDS+IMAGES BY MORGAN SMITH AUTHOR@SFREPORTER.COM

W

hen I was a teenager living on a ranch in western Colorado, I discovered a record entitled Alegrías y Penas de Andalucía that my father had brought home from a business trip to Spain. It featured a guitar player named Luis Maravilla— who, by sheer coincidence, I met and befriended some 40 years later—and a singer named Pepe Valencia. I listened over and over again, and the record brought to life my love of flamenco.

Having never had much musical talent, my instrument has been the camera, my goal to promote flamenco in general, but also to assist artists with photos they might use to promote their art.

I approached SFR in that vein, but their idea was different and much more rewarding: Focus on younger artists who are in the early stages of their careers.

As a result, I’ve come to know these five young artists, and though their backgrounds and levels of experience are all very different, they are united by a love of and dedication to flamenco.

Whatever the outcome of my work here, it has been a great honor to come to know these dancers, and I wish them all the best in the future.

Janira Cordova (24) “I started dancing with Maria Benitez when I was 5 and began performing with her youth company, Flamenco’s Next Generation, when I was 8. I’ve now graduated from [the University of New Mexico] with a degree in speech and hearing sciences and am working as a therapist for children with autism. I always found myself intrigued by flamenco. It allows for a woman to be graceful and delicate while being strong and forceful. I also think I chose flamenco because I am a storyteller. And that is a huge part of flamenco—it tells a story.”

Sveta Backhaus (13) “I’m from Española and started dancing with Moving Arts Española when I was 2-and-a-half years old. We learned folklorico as well as classical and modern ballet and gymnastics. It wasn’t until the summer of 2018 when I discovered flamenco. My goal now is to graduate from the National Institute of Flamenco in Albuquerque and dance in Spain.”

Alejandro Granjero (13) Born in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, also known as the birthplace of flamenco, Alejandro’s goal in life is to become a professional dancer and musician.

“Flamenco is part of my culture,” he says. His parents are Antonio Granjero and Estefania Ramirez, the founders of Entreflamenco here in Santa Fe and professional dancers themselves.

While at the Santa Fe Girls School, Duran met Antonio Granjero and Estefania Ramirez and has now been dancing with them for four years. She hopes to study flamenco in college and abroad and is an animal lover who completed a two-week Wrangler in Training program.“It is difficult to explain how I feel when I dance flamenco with my friends,” she says. “All I can say is that I’ve never felt as happy doing any other activity. Dancing calms my soul and allows me to express myself using everything I’m wearing and everything within me.”

“I have always been a dancer, but when I first saw flamenco I fell in love.

Flamenco is so emotional and strong. It enchants you and you fall in love with it. I just started in the fall of 2017 but in the future I hope I will be able to dance flamenco professionally.”

STRAIGHT OUTTA SPAIN At El Flamenco Santa Fe, Antonio Granjero and his dance company bring Spain to you. “We have the only Spanish director on American soil,” according to spokesperson Stephanie Ramirez. “We have award-winning artists— from Spain.” Granjero’s Entreflamenco was founded in 1998 in Madrid (not the small New Mexico town) and was well-received across Spain before he brought his talents to the US. He performed in and produced shows around the country, including in Texas, California and elsewhere in New Mexico before landing in Santa Fe for good in 2011. The show is complemented by authentic tapas, wine and beer, so arrive early—with extra cash. (Cole Rehbein)

DANCE WED-SUN ROOTED IN DANCE The story of La Emi of Emiarte Flamenco’s involvement with dance begins before she was born. Her dad and uncle both performed at The Lodge at Santa Fe, where she saw her first show at the age of 4. “I am a product of our community, I grew up dancing on our stages,” she tells SFR of her nearly two decades in flamenco.

She originally studied under Maria Benitez, but started her own school at age 26, two years ago.

Now she and her students bring flamenco to the same stage on which she started, five nights a week. “I’ve come full circle,” she adds. (CR) Emiarte Flamenco: 8 pm Wednesday August 21 through Sunday August 25. $20-$50.

DANCE THU-SUN CLOSE TO THE SOURCE The tablao style of flamenco puts dancers on an elevated platform and originated in Spain in the 1960s to replace the more casual cafés cantantes. “We have the longest-running tablao show in North America—over 35 years,” El Farol owner Frida Scott tells SFR. This history of dance compliments the establishment, which has been operating as a restaurant and bar since 1835, or around the same time the art of flamenco was being developed in Andalucia, Spain. Through a partnership with the National Institute of Flamenco, El Farol puts on a dinner show four nights a week, and reservations are required. (CR) Flamenco Dinner Show: 6:30-9 pm Thursday August 21 through Sunday August 25. $30.

Totally Tradical Santa Fe Traditional Music Festival adds more for its third year What began in 1974 as the Santa Fe Banjo and Fiddle Contest has evolved over the years, perpetually rising like some kind of old-timey phoenix, to become the nonprofit Santa Fe Traditional Music Festival at Camp Stoney. The event technically enters its third year this week, and according to organizers, is poised to be the most focused and entertaining version yet.

“The whole idea is that we think about it as a participatory event more than a passive concert series,” says Dave Dillman, a longtime organizer and volunteer for the festival. “People will be playing music on that campus 24 hours a day, essentially.”

Said music will cut a wide swath, from bluegrass and Americana to ragtime, blues, zydeco, country, mariachi and more.

Says Dillman, “If it’s music made with an acoustic instrument, we try to have it.”

The lineup boasts a who’s-who of national traditional music enthusiasts— from the South Carolina Broadcasters Cedric Watson and the Brownsville Thomcats—but Dillman adds that it’s important to shine a light on local talent as well. As such, you’ll find performances from Mariachi Sonidos del Monte, Lara Manzanares, Lone Piñon and many others.

That doesn’t even include formal hosted jams, impromptu jams, a Contra dance, workshops, kids’ activities, such as a beginner’s ukulele lesson, and camping.

“We made a decision early on not to charge for camping, even if you pull up an

RV—we don’t have any connections for the RVs, but you can dry camp,” Dillman says. “At a lot of festivals it’s like getting on an airplane—they start charging you for everything, for camping or to take a shuttle, and we don’t do that. And because it’s green, camping is a lot more enticing than at the Rodeo Grounds.”

Dillman also says the festival, formerly held at that location, has been known to draw attendees from nearby states like Texas and Colorado, and that some traditional music fans have been making the sojourn for all 45 years of the event. He chalks it up to the dedicated staff.

“Everybody is a volunteer,” he says.

“We’ve had excellent [financial] support from the city, and this year we have support from the state—and this year we got our own 501c3 status.” Previously, the festival had operated under the nonprofit umbrella of Outside In, the same organization that produces the Santa Fe Bandstand series.

The three-day fest kicks off Friday evening at 7 pm with a mariachi performance, now a tradition itself, and one which Dillman says “sets the energy.”

f you’re wondering why the name Dylan Montayne sounds familiar, it’s because the Santa Fe-born, Los-Angeles-based MC shot to online popularity in 2016 when he posted a YouTube clip of himself rapping while working as an Uber driver in Denver. It caught the attention of pretty much the entire internet, and Montayne says he was sure it would be his big break.

“But when the dust settled,” he tells SFR, “I was reflecting on just how little that did for my career.”

As of this writing, the video is approaching 10 million views, and Montayne says the following days were a blitz of media and celebrity attention.

Ultimately, however, it wasn’t what he wanted to be known for, and those who approached him afterwards were looking to create a monetary niche; the rapping Uber driver genre is indeed rife with pigeonholed musicians on YouTube, though the chances they’ll ever do anything more or better are slim to non-existent.

Still, Montayne’s performance in the video is straight fire. A musician since he took up the drums at 8 years old, Montayne started freestyling with his El Dorado Elementary school friends following the release of the Eminem movie 8 Mile in 2002. They were, he says, obsessed.

“That continued throughout high school, but I was the only one who was taking it more seriously, and when I went to college in 2009 [at Notre Dame],” Montayne recalls, “I met this dude who

had recording equipment in his dorm, and he heard through the grapevine I could freestyle, so we started recording stuff.”

Montayne was at Notre Dame for business, but he began creating music in earnest around that time. After school, he moved to Denver because, he says, it was a “medium-sized town with a big music scene.” The six or seven years between then and the YouTube clip were full of hustle, rejection, development, small wins and failures. But they were valuable, and if Montayne learned anything from his struggles and viral fame, it was that he wasn’t ready.

“I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t have the resume or body of work for people to latch onto,” he explains. “It came off as ‘Viral guy raps!’ but there was nothing really for people to [engage with].”

Cue the hermit years. Montayne worked in relative isolation from 2016 to 2018 on his debut album Rebecca Lane.

The album was inspired by Montayne’s Santa Fe youth; of parties in the woods, chasing after girls and rap battles by bonfire. The title single does have a sort of youthful exuberance, and Montayne’s cadence is like butter during a few high points. But Montayne says that, while he’s proud of the work he put into the album, there was plenty of room to grow.

“Coming out of that period, I realized that in making Rebecca Lane, I didn’t have anyone to bounce ideas off, or celebrate the victories and share the defeats with,” he says. “This led into Mudhouse, the new album.”

Inspired both by the adobe architecture of Santa Fe and the idea of erecting

something from nothing, Montayne assembled a live band in Denver to flesh out the songs. At six tracks, it’s really more of an EP, but Montayne says Mudhouse is more about experimentation, collaboration and message than setting restrictions for oneself. When compared to Rebecca Lane, this is obvious. Hiphop and jazzy elements are still present, but with a live band in tow, Montayne has infused a Latin influence in places, a little bit of flamenco and even travels into contempo alterna-rock territory on songs like “Someday, Someday” his personal favorite and a song that took a mere four hours to write and record. It’s not recognizable as Montayne for anyone following along since 2016, but it does prove he can actually sing in addition to emcee duties. That doesn’t save the song from feeling tepid compared to his hip-hop offerings, but if the goal is to

stretch out his wings, Montayne is doing just that.

“I’m diversifying,” he says. “The rap thing is always in my wheelhouse, but as I get into this career, I don’t want to just be the guy who freestyled in the Uber.”

He also wants to maintain creative control. Rightly, Montayne has concerns that major label assistance might lead him away from his own ideas. He says he’s not opposed to going major, but that he first wants to build up enough of a presence as an indie artist.

“It’s definitely harder, but you have to get as big as you can independently,” he says. “If it gets to a point where labels are calling my name, but I can continue creating my own brand, then I’m all for it.”

That brand, he says, is semi-political, a reflection of the pain and frustration he observes in America today. Montayne laments that most rappers and musicians are focused on dollar signs and fancy cars, and that this is damaging for youths who ingest such albums and social media. Mudhouse is instead meant to inspire, and Montayne is purportedly inspired by the rock of the ’60s and ’70s,

by Janis Joplin and Led Zeppelin.

“Fleetwood Mac is one of my biggest inspirations,” he tells SFR, “and I don’t think you’ll find another rapper out there who’ll say that.”

True enough, and there are nods to throwback rock on Mudhouse among the light Latin elements. As a sophomore effort, it’s interesting to see where the young musician is trying to go. At times, he gets there, too, such as on closer “My Dream,” wherein Montayne openly and vulnerably discusses his fears and hopes for his life and career, as well as a social media exodus. At others times, the album errs too mainstream, especially from an artist who has existed on the fringes for so long. Rebecca Lane had a rawness listeners could feel, almost viscerally, whereas Mudhouse runs the risk of sounding less focused, like a compilation of songs without a thread.

Those differences between tracks are kind of the point, however, according to Montayne—“it has something for everyone,” he says—but whatever he releases next will probably be something to really write home about.

Because he’s learning all the time, and coming incredibly close to greatness with a punctuated regularity. For now, catch Montayne with the hometown advantage at Meow Wolf this week.

The Great Outdoors

BY ALEX DE VORE |

Photographer and gallerist Jay Kazen does what comes naturally

a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

JAY KAZEN

rior to falling for photography, Jay Kazen (Adai Caddo) believed football was life.

Growing up in the tiny Texas town of Boerne, the sport was practically a religion, but after a back injury sustained during his first year of college at West Point in 2008, Kazen’s entire trajectory changed. He’d grown up traveling to and dancing at powwows in Louisiana, and the anthropological and archaeological arts spoke to him as a means to connect with his Indigenous mother’s side of the family. After transferring to Texas State University to study these things, the art of photography came steamrolling into his life.

“For my first major project, I was camping for a month-and-a-half in West Texas,” Kazen recalls. “I’d go out hiking, I had the camera with me, and I just fell in love with the whole process—being able to walk through vast terrains of land; no internet, no phone, no radio, and at the end of the day, I’d bring [the photos] back, just to catalog things, and I became obsessed.”

He’d spend a year in law school and ultimately wrap his anthropology degree at University of Texas at San Antonio, and someplace in the shuffle, he found a cause and a life; as of this week, Kazen opens the Jay Kazen Gallery of Nature in Santa Fe. Gallery director Andrea Vargas describes his work as “aggressive acts of love,” and his overall gestalt is that of stunningly beautiful nature, of sprawling landscapes and powerful animals.

A three-year stint with livestock and rodeo-based photography company Show Champions sent him across the globe some years ago, training other shooters, and while that wasn’t Kazen’s preferred milieu, he did catch the travel bug. As such, his shots represent much of the world.

“I’ve seen a volcano erupt in Hawaii,” he says, “I’ve hiked through Banff in Canada, walked through Italy and Spain

and I’ve seen the sun rise on the Golden Coast in Australia.”

All this from a diverted life plan. Plus, Kazen is completely self-taught, he says, a raw but compelling eye emerging over time from the starting point of academic anthropological cataloguing to emotionally resonant fine art. He is, in a word, a natural.

“I was always saying ‘Oh, it all looks so much better in person,’” Kazen says of the snapshots he’d bring home to show friends and family. “I was realizing I wasn’t doing it justice, and my early

career was a lot of trial and error, just pointing a camera and pushing buttons, but as I became more skilled, I was able to put more into subjects, to allow people to feel the image.”

And it doesn’t stop at capturing pristine rolling fields or plains, a vivid sunrise or wild animals or sites from across the globe. Kazen considers himself an advocate and conservationist, and in addition to encapsulating the places he visits, the future for the animals in these places is always of concern.

“There’s this Steve Irwin quote about

A&C

how people only care about things they fall in love with, and I think art has the ability to make people do that.”

Thus, proceeds from his print sales go to organizations like Texas’ Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, the African Wildlife Foundation and others. And though a sea of wildlife photography exists, there’s something powerfully restrained about Kazen’s approach. It’s more than just a job.

“Seeing animals not being taken care of is disheartening,” he explains. “Animals will either tolerate you or they won’t, and I’ve had experiences where moose or grizzly bears will come up to me—sharing these moments with animals who don’t mind your presence is an incredible feeling. I want money to support the craft, of course, but I’m also doing it for a cause.”

This means much time in solitude, not counting the animals, but Kazen says that’s almost always preferable.

“I lived in Los Angeles for a year, and that’s as ‘city’ as it gets,” he explains, “but I think people can get lost in cities, too distracted; they can think the world starts and ends in the cities, but then they’re not seeing the big skies in Montana, or how huge Texas is, or how getting out into nature, in solitude, can expand your mind.”

As for whether or not he thinks his job will ever be done, if he’ll ever stop partnering with or donating to animal and nature causes, or if a time ever comes in the life of an artist when they can dust off their hands, set down their equipment and tell themselves they’ve done enough?

“I doubt it,” Kazen says, chuckling.

“If you’re doing something that you love, you might as well love it with a fiery passion.”

COURTESY DEVIN JAMES BALDWIN

Writer and poet Devin James Baldwin works for YouthWorks! by day, preparing youths to take their GED and beyond. In his own creative life, he writes constantly and works with the Alas de Agua collective to provide space and assistance for the creation of art and words.

But even a few short years ago, Baldwin was only just returning to poetry after years spent on academic writing, and now he’s filled a book with poems. Baldwin reads from his new chapbook, Black Matters (Poems and Prose) during Alas de Aguas’ Poetry of the People open mic this Thursday (5:30 pm. Free. Zephyr Community Art Studio, 1520 Center Drive #2), an event he says should prove powerful and enriching, but freeform and fun as well. (Alex De Vore) Is there a specific theme to the new book?

The underlying current in the book is my perception of the experience of being black and brown in this country, and some of the uncomfortable and difficult talk about realities that black people, brown people and people of color experience in day to day interactions when they’re moving through the world, minding their own business, stopped and profiled for no other reason than they fit a description. Each poem grapples with those questions and what it means to be a person of color and be perceived in a certain way. To have to grapple in discovering and defining your own identity and the identity society imposes; it was very intense and cathartic.

Your online bio says that you’ve struggled with perspective. Does this persist in Santa Fe, and how does that apply to your new work?

I believe it does. When I was doing my degree through the University of Denver, which I did online, and at New England College, which I also did online, even in my interactions with classmates through online platforms, the questions I’d ask, the perspectives I’d bring, the things I wanted to examine and push, were difficult. That was a challenge. And yeah, I still find it in Santa Fe. There are people who believe there aren’t these same kind of prejudices or biases, but they’re definitely here and they’re definitely layered. You talk to certain groups of people, they’ll let you know they’ve experienced that, or that Santa Fe doesn’t exist in a bubble—we have these issues, and until we can get comfortable enough to talk about them and have conversations without getting defensive or wanting to argue, we’re going to continue to grapple with these and misunderstanding.

What is it about poetry that you find helps you convey these perspectives?

There are so many forms of poetry that exist now that don’t have to conform to a particular structure.

You can have poems written more like essays that are just as powerful, but they don’t have the classical structures—and that doesn’t make them any less poetic. You can write about anything, any experience, you can turn it into a poem or prose or some type of verse to be shared. You can have audio recordings of poetry with music. I think it’s a very versatile way of getting thoughts and ideas out into the world that isn’t rigidly defined.

We pay the most for your gold coins, heirloom jewelry and diamonds!

We could totally get behind drizzling some of these olive oil and balsamic vinegar varieties on our food.

Worth the Splurge Up your kitchen game with local oils and vinegars

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

live oil is something pretty much everyone has in their kitchen.

I go through a good bit myself, but I’m often stymied by the stuff—in particular, why my homemade oil-based salad dressings always taste like a brown paper bag versus the rich dressings described in the cookbook recipes I have so clearly followed.

“That’s probably because you’re not actually using real olive oil,” says Michael Aranda, owner of Santa Fe Olive Oil & Balsamic Co. (116 Don Gaspar Ave., 992-1601). “Most olive oil sold in the US comes from mega-producers and is low-quality to begin with, then cut with canola or seed oil.”

Aranda, a lifelong Santa Fean, learned the truth about olive oil while in Europe studying international hotel and restaurant management.

Visit Us at 1330 Rufina Circle Mon.-Sat. 10-6 P: 505.231.7775

“I’d always had a passion for food and realized the stuff Americans think is extra-virgin olive oil actually isn’t,” he explains. “When we initially looked at buying this business, I realized I could use my contacts in the wine and olive oil businesses in Europe to bring the highest quality oils and vinegars to Santa Fe. We work directly with family growers who hand harvest olives and producers of only the highest quality.”

The greener fruit, Aranda says, provides more beneficial anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy qualities in the oil.

“When we get the oil,” he says, “we send samples to a lab at the [University of California at] Davis, so we have the stats on acids and fats and can break down how healthy the oil is.”

Quality is the main focus for Santa Fe Olive Oil & Balsamic Co.’s vinegars.

“Our vinegar producer is in Modena, Italy, and he takes good red wine grapes and oxidizes them to turn them into vinegar,” Aranda tells SFR. “Most

producers make vinegar from bad grapes just to get rid of it. But just like you can’t make good wine with bad grapes, you also can’t make good vinegar with bad grapes.”

It’s a major difference, and Aranda says the easiest way to tell is in the aroma.

“With good vinegar, you will smell fine wine—prune, oak, floral notes. We import different barrels to age vinegar in, and you can try them from those barrels, just to show people what happens if you put balsamic in cherry versus oak; like with wine, you can taste the difference,” he says. “Go home and try what you have and tell me if it tastes like bad wine or you can taste the fruit notes.”

In the downtown business’ tasting room, visitors are welcome to sample any of the dozens of oils and vinegars offered. Each is crafted and bottled at the company’s production facility off Siler Road. And though there are many to add to your own kitchen, Aranda says the most popular sellers are, of course, chile oils.

“We make the red chile and green chile oils with New Mexico chile,” he says.

“Another popular oil is a Tuscan herb we make infused with basil, rosemary and garlic. It’s fantastic for marinating and also on, say, grilled asparagus, or as a salad dressing.”

Among local restaurants such as the Coyote Café, Market Steer Steakhouse,

Milad Persian Bistro and others, the organic bio piqual—the choice of olive oil “purists,” says Aranda—is popular with its aromas of dandelion greens, cut grass and tomato vines. Overall, however, tasters are encouraged to try combinations. One popular option is the blood orange olive oil ($10-$45) with fig balsamic ($10-$24). I took these home and made a salad dressing, adding nothing but a bit of salt. The resulting dressing was sweet and rich, but well-balanced in acidity thanks to the citrus and olive; my “paper bag” conundrum was solved.

“All of our products are free to sample and we love educating customers about what we do,” Aranda tells SFR. “On weekends we have locally grown fruits and/or veggies to sample products with, and we encourage people to pop in and try something like an organic tomato with our basil extra-virgin olive oil. People can also order online and have gifts shipped for holidays or other occasions.”

If you just want to experiment with combinations at home, Santa Fe Olive Oil & Balsamic Co. offers smaller, 60 millileter bottles of all of their oils and/ or vinegars. Storage, meanwhile, is as important as the fruit used in the oil and balsamic creation.

“The basic rule is to avoid the three factors that ruin it: heat, time and oxygen.

So think about all three and try to eliminate them,” Aranda cautions. “I always tell people, number one, if your olive oil is on your stove take it off, because it will get warm there.”

If you live in a typical Santa Fe home without air conditioning, he recommends “a cool, dark space with the container fully closed. Wine coolers work really well.”

“We’re on the forefront of a really cool food movement, where people are being more conscious about what they choose to consume,” Aranda adds in parting. “You have no idea until you actually start using them, Once you do, you won’t be going back to the jugs from Costco.”

Blinded by the Light Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

Bruuuuuuuce!

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

10

In the midst of Thatcher’s jobless 1980s Britain, a teeanged Pakistani boy struggles to find his place and voice in Blinded by the Light from director Gurinder Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham), a heavy-handed love letter to Bruce Springsteen based on a true story.

It’s 1987, and Javed (Viveik Kalra) hates his small industrial town of Luton, England, a tale he tells through secret poetry and not-so-secret lyrics written for his dick-ish neighbor and only friend, Matt (Dean-Charles Chapman), whose hair tells us he’s apparently in some kind of Flock of Seagulls-esque band. When the synth pop of the day doesn’t cut it for Javed, however, a new chum turns him on to The Boss, and every dang thing he’s been feeling comes pouring out in all of its rock glory, seemingly just for him.

Cue obsession.

Javed spends the rest of the movie dressing, talking and acting like Springsteen, even going so far as to recite lyrics at people alongside egregious, endless eye contact—an act everyone everywhere hates, by the way—and using the jams to gain confidence and get dates and stuff. Meanwhile, an only sort of there English teacher (Hayley Atwell, aka Peggy Carter from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) inspires young Javed to keep writing by ignoring most other students and forcefully

5 + DAMN, BRUCE

HAS SOME JAMS; “REAL” MOMENTS - LEANS TOO HEAVILY INTO CUTE; KALRA IS BORING

submitting him for writing contests; his father’s old-school approach to literally everything (from a charming Kulvinder Ghir) stifles his sense of creativity, freedom and maturity. In other words, shit’s rough, and only Bruce knows how Javed feels.

Blinded by the Light might have been cute enough if it weren’t for wooden performances from Kalra and … well, everyone who isn’t the dad, really. Chadha’s take on the era feels eerily real, but themes like racism, personal evolution and family politics consistently take a backseat to confusing not quite musical numbers accompanied by odd floating subtitles of Springsteen lyrics.

These scenes usually find Javed doing something emotionally over-the-top, like throwing himself against a wall in the rain and making big, sad eyes, and while he keeps saying he feels all these deep things, mostly he appears to feel awkward. And then, every time we get a closer glimpse at the challenges of a culture living so far away from home,

we’re ripped back to a moment wherein Javed hits play on his cassette Walkman for an impossibly precise moment a Springsteen lyric is applicable to what’s happening in his real life. Weird.

Yes, the story’s based on a real one, namely writer Sarfraz Manzoor’s Greetings From Bury Park, wherein the real-life friend of Chadha’s recounts his Springsteen awakening. That’s neat and all, and we do catch a couple real-world photos of the Manzoor with The Boss over the end credits, but it’s hard to not wish Blinded by the Light had taken a more grounded approach rather than its cutesy one, especially since it feels so much longer than it needs to be. Then again, baby, we were born to run. Or something.

walk it end to end—a distance of around 750 miles, roughly equivalent to the length of the state of California.

It’s a chance to showcase the peril, the dangers of resource overuse and of the efforts at “monetizing beauty:” developers who want to build a tramway from the rim to the canyon floor; uranium mines that have polluted the water; helicopters tours that take off by the hundreds every day; people from the Navajo Nation, members of the Havasupai tribe and others who fight for balance.

The visuals and the morals of the film aren’t exactly matched by its dialog, which doesn’t carry an abiding narrative depth. For a film that makes a point of how awesome it is to experience the silence of the canyon, there’s a lot of pointless screaming.

But then there’s the sky over the rim, the lightning sizzling from blueblack clouds, the light and color changing. It sure is grand.

(Julie Ann Grimm)

+ EYE CANDY AND ADVENTURE - TOO MUCH MCBRIDE SELFIE FOOTAGE

Doesn’t the Grand Canyon deserve a better adjective?

Stunning. Spectacular. Sensational. It’s also dangerous and endangered.

Photojournalist Peter McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko teeter on the edge of red cliffs, hack their way through mesquite, fend off attack from every manner of cactus and all the while marvel at the grandeur of one of the nation’s most famous natural treasures in Into the Canyon.

McBride, director and head cinematographer, is the architect of the adventure, and with the backing of National Geographic, he talks Fedarko into the prospect. The two explain how their globetrotting exploits have often bordered on life-taking failure.

This one appears to be no different; ore than one moment leaves the viewer gasping and then shaking the head. They don’t make the standard canyon traverse down one side and up the other, nor do they take to boats. They

FRIGHTENING; KILLER ATMOSPHERE

- SEQUEL FORESHADOWING

It seems like this summer’s more charming films are the ones flying under the radar, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, based on the Alvin Schwartz anthology books of the same name, follows the trend.

During Halloween of 1968, some SmallTown, Pennsylvania, teens stumble across a sinister book written in the “blood of children,” and soon the stories begin to reflect reality in a disturbing way. Directed by André Øvredal (Troll Hunter), Scary Stories proves a horror contribution fresh and thrilling enough to set it apart from the scads of Netflix shows or Stephen King adaptations flooding the mainstream.

Of course, the film wouldn’t work without A+ efforts from its young cast. Yes, these kids are great and all, but they’re also kind of one dimensional. Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush and Austin Abrams are all talented actors, but it would be nice to have seen more of their individuality shine instead of hitting plot points, beat by beat. Even when Colleti’s Stella, the deepest of the quartet, has a heart-to-heart moment with a parent, the scene becomes predictable enough to merit an eye roll. Still, it’s good to see supporting actors like Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption), even if they’re mostly reduced to clueless old dudes who seemingly only react to the insanity of their surroundings.

But this is a horror film for young adults, and the horror sequences do make the film worth its admission, regardless of your age.

Schwartz’s short stories shine as the written words literally come to life, and the once-brief fables we read as children at night now become haunting portends for unfortunate characters.

Scarecrows animate, cheeks burst with spiders, toes go missing and hands emerge from under the bed. Gone are the days of the cheap jump scares of tamer teen flicks—some of this stuff is actually skin crawling and resonates with the viewer well after the film ends.

Guillermo del Toro is credited as a producer and writer, but his creativity only feels present in creepy moments now and then, his brilliance as an unconventional scribe shining through, though not powerfully. It’s also obvious distributor Lionsgate wants to build a franchise with this first film, which takes away all hope of a sound and noteworthy conclusion.

Regardless, the tension is palpable throughout and the look of the set pieces, the special effects and the sound design all do their jobs to the umpteenth degree. It’s also refreshing to hear lesser-heard songs from ’68,

with a special mention to Donovan’s “Season of the Witch” as an excellent contribution.

There are still a few weeks of summer left, but Scary Stories does its job complementing the cool nights that lead into the fall. Before we know it, the Season of the Witch will be upon us once more, most certainly the most wonderful time of the year. (Matthew K Gutierrez)

MIKE WALLACE IS HERE

7

+ WALLACE IS A BULLDOG; COOL JOURNALISM HISTORY

- NOT ENOUGH BACKGROUND

“Why is Mike Wallace such a prick?” Morley Safer asks his fellow veteran newsman in Mike Wallace is Here from director Avi Belkin (Winding).

It’s unclear when the conversation takes place, but both Safer and Wallace, seemingly amused by the implications, feel like old friends. Wallace waves it off a moment, admits it, and is ready to move on. But he also seems wildly uncomfortable answering questions; the bulldog of interviews in the hot seat for once.

It’s a fair query—Wallace, who died in 2012 at 93, was indeed known for aggressive interviews, but as we learn in Belkin’s film, his fearlessness and dedication helped shape the face of broadcast journalism as we know it, and led to some of the most famous interviews in the medium’s history.

Wallace began in radio, phasing over to television in the 1950s as a performer, commercial spokesman and, eventually, host of the hard-hitting 1957 interview program Night Beat.

There, he cut his teeth during interviews with politicians, gangsters and the famous. There, he developed his now-infamous unflinching style. It was a first in a world of Cronkites and Murrows who, while well-liked, didn’t often speak truth to the powerful, and though the show was shortlived, it changed everything. By 1968, with public confidence in broadcast news waning, the Wallace-led 60 Minutes tore the roof off, inventing the televised news magazine format, which started slowly but ultimately became the most-watched news program of all time; a sea of impersonators, from 20/20 to Nightline followed.

Belkin examines as much as he can in a mere 90 minutes, but fails in fleshing out Wallace’s back story in any meaningful way. We learn briefly of failed marriages and the death of his son, but other than a few video and audio clips of the man vaguely talking news, we see Wallace’s impact on journalism through old interview footage far more than we dive into his motivations. The exchange with Safer is but one of numerous examples of his own discomfort being interviewed, and while this makes him seem all the more human, it’s fleeting, as are behind-the-scenes moments of a disarmed or enraged or exhausted Wallace.

Mike Wallace proabbly could’ve kicked your ass. Heck, he probably still could—and he’s been dead for seven years.

Elsewhere, snippets of interviews with the legendary and infamous likes of Bette Davis, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and far too many others to count remind us of his chops, but without any identifying text associated with lesser-known figures around during Wallace’s tenure, those of a certain age might feel lost before the credits identify a number of those people. Belkin, in fact, seems more enamored with a certain era of journalism than he does with the people featured in his film, and while it makes sense to compose a love letter to a hero, or to feel like one was born in the wrong era—especially a documentarian—Mike Wallace himself probably would have liked it more had Belkin opted to experiment a little, or at least drag out some of the old guard to get at the meatier and more personal stories.

ONCE UPON A TIME ... IN HOLLYWOOD

6

+ IMMERSIVE SETS AND SEQUENCES - QUENTIN’S EGO INFLATING THROUGH THE SCREEN

You’ve seen the exhaustive ads, right? “Quentin Tarantino’s Ninth Film is finally here!” Period flick Once Upon A Time … in Hollywood barges into the cinemas with loads of panache and style on the surface, but little more underneath.

As the swinging ’60s in Hollywood come to a close, actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his sidekick, stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), contemplate their futures in an ever changing industry—and the business of Rick’s new neighbors, Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate.

The film’s brilliance, if it has any, lies with its two leads. Every one of DiCaprio’s scenes are commanding; he chews scenery, upstages elders and literally incinerates people. Pitt is surely in top form as well, moving cooly and confidently from problem to problem.

Al Pacino also stands out as an influencer for Rick’s decision to jump on the Spaghetti Western train, but Mike Moh (Street Fighter: Resurrection) as Bruce Lee finds Lee’s accomplishments diminished in service of Tarantino’s creative license. Unfortunately, Margot Robbie’s (Suicide Squad) Sharon Tate suffers from weaker writing than the dude characters, and almost every one of her scenes has her dancing, giving toothy grins, or—ahem—flexing her feet. And nothing else. It’s awkward watching a murdered actress be sexualized, and with the exception of Julia Butters (of TV’s American Housewife) as a fiery young starlet, almost every other woman comes off as an annoyance or an accessory.

Tarantino’s themes are consistent, regardless of how you feel about his material. What makes Hollywood’s last act so disappointing,

though, is how Rick and Cliff finish their journeys. The explosive climax feels like the result of an “Oh boy am I great!” moment Tarantino had while writing rather than a meaningful conclusion. When Tate or, to a lesser extent, the Manson family are onscreen, they feel like a distraction from the narrative, making the almost three-hour runtime feel tedious; it’s more fun to cruise around the extinct 1960s environment with Cliff, or watch hungover Rick handle another villainous roll on a TV pilot.

As usual, Tarantino’s actors give 110%, and that effort can be seen and heard in every single frame. The cinematography is calm and engaging while the hip costumes and production design are loud and meticulous. Even musical selections draw smiles from jams that are as unique as Rick Dalton himself. A great element of Tarantino’s style is how he celebrates the importance of food and drink; it’s fascinating to see distinctions set in Rick and Cliff’s potent potables and snacks once in their own homes.

And then, Tarantino is one of the few directors left whose film debuts are still cinematic events. You’ve seen at least one of his nine movies, and can probably list off scenes from another five. But as far as the ’60’s are concerned, truth is still stranger than his fiction. (MKG)

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of August 21st

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not cost-efficient to recycle plastic. Sorting and processing the used materials to make them available for fresh stuff is at least as expensive as creating new plastic items from scratch. On the other hand, sending used plastic to a recycling center makes it far less likely that it will end up in the oceans and waterways, harming living creatures. So in this case, the short-term financial argument in favor of recycling is insubstantial, whereas the moral argument is strong. I invite you to apply a similar perspective to your upcoming decisions.

knowledge of the night sky’s stars was a crucial aid.

Skill at reading the ever-changing ocean currents always proved valuable. Another helpful trick was to take birds on the ships as collaborators. While at sea, if the birds flew off and returned, the sailors knew there was no land close by. If the birds didn’t return, chances were good that land was near. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I think it’s an excellent time to gather a number of different navigational tools for your upcoming quest. One won’t be enough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): African American slaves suffered many horrendous deprivations. For example, it was illegal for them to learn to read. Their oppressors feared that educated slaves would be better equipped to agitate for freedom, and took extreme measures to keep them illiterate. Frederick Douglass was one slave who managed to beat the ban. As he secretly mastered the art of reading and writing, he came upon literature that ultimately emboldened him to escape his “owners” and flee to safety. He became one of the nineteenth century’s most powerful abolitionists, producing reams of influential writing and speeches. I propose that we make Douglass your inspiring role model for the coming months. I think you’re ready to break the hold of a certain curse—and go on to achieve a gritty success that the curse had prevented you from accomplishing.

Micro-current (Acupuncture without neemost enjoy while you’re in the company of your interdles.) Parasite, Liver/cleansesting, non-romantic companions? For instance, es. Nitric Oxide.

Or maybe all of the above. In any case, Scorpio, I urge you to get clear about what you want— and then make it your priority to foster it. In the coming weeks, you’ll have the power to generate an abundance of your favorite kind of non-sexual togetherness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the CEO of the clothes company Zappos, Sagittarius entrepreneur Tony Hsieh is worth almost a billion dollars. If he chose, he could live in a mansion by the sea. Yet his home is a GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For twenty-five years, 200-square-foot, $48,000 trailer in Las Vegas, where businessman Don Thompson worked for the he also keeps his pet alpaca. To be clear, he owns the McDonald’s fast food company, including three years entire trailer park, which consists of 30 other trailers, all as its CEO. During that time, he oversaw the sale and of which are immaculate hotbeds of high-tech media consumption of millions of hamburgers. But in 2015, technology where interesting people live. He loves the he left McDonald’s and became part of Beyond Meat, community he has created, which is more important to a company that sells vegan alternatives to meat.
