COVER, APRIL 24: “STATIC TRANSIT”
JUST FORGET IT It seems like our elected officials cannot think outside the box. The Rail Runner is a dinosaur that eats revenue and diesel. It is probably the worst choice environmentally, yet they stick with it like a pig in s**t. Why are they so wedded when there are environmentally far better alternatives? They built it and no one came. Give it up, stop chasing more tax dollars and quick fixes. I’ve posted numerous times on articles like this one but it seems like no one is listening. Abandon the Rail Runner, get on with what other municipalities are doing, a Smart Bus System using a smart app. Alternative fuels, smaller vehicles where there is less demand, and direct routes (picking you up at your home for example) would increase ridership tenfold.

“HOUSING CASH”
REALLY? So the big question is how much taxes does a artist actually pay? You know they don’t report actual cash sales it’s straight to their pocket! Housing in general to everyone would benefit everyone better!
MICHAEL ROMERO VIA FACEBOOK
REALLY, AGAIN? This is a fantastic project and does an immense job of supporting community and culture in the City Different! However, $18,000,000 for 65 units?! I really feel like this town needs to manage its capital in a manner that creates actual developments that will have a significant percentage reduction in available affordable housing. Sixty-five units does very little to address this problem. That being said, clearly this project is about more than affordable housing and potentially could be used as a model that can be implemented more widely.

REALLY, THRICE? From the looks of it, this in on the old sewer facility. For those of us from here, you may recall that even after it was closed, you had to hold your nose while you drove past. What is the state of the land? Are we sure that it’s not gross? Keep in mind, it’s happened before that poor people get planted on top of garbage piles and such. It’s not necessarily intentional, but has it been looked at?

Here’s what you need to know about summer and the city’s five-year conservation plan
BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

anta Fe was graced with a beautiful white winter and our gardens are already greener than they’ve been in years. But this is no excuse to slack on saving water, says David Gutzler. The University of New Mexico climatologist is among watchers who predict that as our climate continues to get hotter, rapid snow melt, increased evaporation and depleting water tables will lead to longer periods of severe drought in New Mexico. When it comes to how communities feel the impact, Gutzler tells SFR, “a lot of that will depend on how we choose to manage water. As droughts get more severe, it means that the rules we’ve set up are going to be put under stress. How we get through those drought periods is a matter of policy as much as it is about how nature provides us with water.”
It’s about changing out habits and our policies before we face serious shortages, not afterwards. That’s why the city of Santa Fe has invited the community to brainstorm on conservation strategies for the 2020 update to its five-year water conservation plan. The city has already convened meetings on topics such as climate change and water resiliency, residential water use and commercial water efficiency. The final public meeting is scheduled for May 11 at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center to discuss community collaborations and partnerships. “We’re trying to do something totally different,” says Christine Chavez, the city’s water conservation manager. “In the past we would formulate the plan first and then try to get input at that end, and it just doesn’t always work. … There also weren’t really any specific step-by-step goals or programs in past plans. If we really want the community to buy into the plan and participate, then it would be best to try to capture their ideas as we formulate our goals going forward.” In Santa Fe, the biggest uses of water are summer irrigation and commercial use, says Chavez. An outdoor rebate program incentivizes rain water harvesting, gray water use and efficient irrigation
•
Shaming people who waste water is less effective than rewarding people’s efforts with ideas like water-saving contests between residents, neighborhood associations, commercial users or schools.
•
Stop using drinking water to flush by trasitioning to composting toilets; plumbing captured rainwater back to the tank; and setting up sink-to-toilet plumbing.
•
Initiate a startup accelerator project focusing on water conservation.
Require new residential developments to use gray water harvesting and rain-capture systems.
•
Call for more conservation education in schools; one idea includes teaching kids two-minute shower songs to encourage short shower habits.
What you can do at home
Get inspired to save more water at home with some of these tips from other Santa Fe residents: In the bathroom: According to the EPA, the standard faucet uses 2.2 gallons of water per minute, and the standard shower head uses at least 5 gpm. Install faucet aerators that can reduce flow to 1.5 gpm and low-flow shower heads that use 2.5 gpm or less. Collect shower water in a bucket to flush the toilet or water outdoors. Use the classic brick-in-thetoilet-tank trick to use less water per flush. Take shorter showers and turn off the tap while you wash your face, shave or brush your teeth. In the kitchen: With a full load, the dishwasher uses less water than handwashing. Use a tub to collect rinse water for the garden. In the garden: Don’t buy plants at big-box stores, which rarely sell drought-resistant garden plants—instead, buy native varieties at a local nursery. Use rain barrels to capture water from those summer storms and consider the city’s rebate program to set up gray water harvesting. Put a timer on your drip irrigation, water by hand and install a hose-end water meter.
Water use restrictions start May 1 and are in effect until Oct. 31 for city water customers. If you don’t follow the rules, you could get fined up to $200 for each violation, so here’s are some highlights (and if you spot a violator, call the water conservation hotline at 955-4222):

Residents Weigh In
Santa Fe has cut back water use by nearly half from 168 gallons per capita per day in 1995 to 90 gpcd by 2017, despite population growth. In 2018, water use rose slightly to 95.5 gpcd. Chavez says we can and need to do better. She says some of the most creative new ideas have come from residents. Here are some of the best:

Outside watering is prohibited between 10 am and 6 pm.
Only water three days a week.
Make sure you have a permit for new irrigation systems and major renovations. You’ll also need a permit to use a power washer.
Don’t let water run off your property.
Wash your car no more than once a month. Commercial car washes recycle their water, so spring for a pro job.

systems to help combat water waste. Summer water regulations and increased rates go into effect May 1, which means it’s also a good time to check out the city’s EyeOnWater app aimed at helping residents monitor use at home and detect leaks. “Half the time people don’t realize that they have a leak because a lot of the time you would never hear it, and if you don’t pay much attention to your bill you would never know,” Chavez tells SFR. In November, the city partnered with the Green Chamber of Commerce on a pilot program to help restaurants in commercial centers measure individual water use with new monitoring technologies. Future pilots could include hotels, assisted living facilities and medical centers.

An update on the latest attempt for the former Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus to pop again

hat is now being referred to as the Midtown Property has had more than one name and more than one purpose over the past decade. At various points an army hospital, a Catholic high school and the College of Santa Fe, what has most recently been the Santa Fe University of Art and Design has had a fraught history. The city bought the land in 2009 to try to keep it in use as a school, then SFUAD pulled up stakes in 2018. The city is still paying off the resulting debt, although a refinance effort that would potentially save taxpayers millions is working its way through the approval process. Now, officials are taking another shot at making the property into something Santa Fe can be proud of. The city has issued its first request for proposals (RFPs), a step toward its goal of turning the former university campus into a kind of creative-class destination. It would, if reality matches the project leaders’ hopes, address more than one of Santa Fe’s biggest issues—housing, employment and youth retainment among them. Daniel Hernandez, a consultant with Proyecto, LLC, was hired in February to manage the project on a $7,500 monthly contract for up to seven months. Though he was formerly based in New York, he recently moved to Santa Barbara, California, to be closer to his parents. He mentions another city in that state, San Francisco, with its sky-high cost of living and
rampant gentrification, as a cautionary tale. The goal is to build a new community gathering place for everyone in Santa Fe. “Oftentimes cities, they choose the wrong team and the wrong developers,” Hernandez says. “We are committed to a range of housing types and a range of housing affordabilities.” Planners envision residential development, retail storefronts that fit the vibe of a former art school, educational facilities and studios that create a feeling of activity without becoming a playground for just the rich. The RFP issued on April 21 is intended to find a firm to provide urban planning and study how the project could affect the local economy. Whomever the city’s staff selects will be expected to run scenarios that would determine how much of the development area should be used for housing, business or educational purposes. Proposals are due on May 22; after staff evaluate and choose a vendor, City Council would get to vote on the contract. “You run different scenarios then look at them and analyze those scenarios and their cost and their impact and their benefits, as a process to identify the optimal scenarios,” city Economic Development Director Matt Brown tells SFR. It’s the first step in moving the property from a vision to a fully-functioning development. Hernandez says ground could break on some parts a year from this coming fall, although some elements of the project will take longer than others, and it will be an ongoing effort to make the real

world match the vision. There are about 32 buildings that are good candidates for re-purposing, as well as “significant open space” for redevelopment, according to the RFP. “It’ll happen; it will. This administration, [Mayor Alan Webber] chose me, we’ll choose the right developers,” says Hernandez, a Harvard Loeb Fellow who once worked for the Bill De Blasio administration in New York City. “There’s a level of trust that citizens have to have at the very beginning of this.” Ensuring that the campus, which has historically felt a degree of separation from the city, is better integrated into the community without displacing nearby residents is another major area of consideration, according to Brown.
“I fully expect and hope that the investment and redevelopment that happens there will lift communities that have been underserved historically,” Brown tells SFR, “… as well as strengthen the cultures of the neighborhoods of surrounding properties too. I know there’s a lot of concern about displacement and gentrification issues, so were doing our best to be very sensitive about that and work on policies so that it’s not just an island that gets strong, it’s an entire community that gets stronger as a byproduct of investment.” A second RFP, which Brown says will be issued soon, will procure a “civic engagement team.” For at least one former SFUAD student who still lives in Santa Fe, the renewed plan for his old campus is welcome. After all, the school began to lose its identity and transform into something else before the last classes ever concluded. “You know, I think it would have been harder if it had happened really suddenly, but we were kind of already used to that, you know what I mean?” Alexis Rezeles, a 2018 graduate of SFUAD, tells SFR. “We were still in school when one of the main buildings, the cafeteria, was turned into a rehab center.” For that reason, he welcomes development. “It’s not as hard to digest because you were kind of in this space where it didn’t even feel like a school,” Rezeles says. “I would much rather see that space getting taken up and used rather than it being absolutely abandoned.”

A crash course in Santa Fe’s metal scene BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
rom the streets and stages to the practice spaces and barroom corners, you’ll hear it: Santa Fe is a music town. True enough, especially if you fancy the dulcet tones of classic rock covers, quiet singer-songwriters or soft piano meant to be doled out cautiously as the background music to an expensive meal or drink. But what of the edgier sounds; the power chords that’d rather split your skull in two than show kindness to your eardrums; the outliers? What of the DIY warehouses littered with fringe folk and touring acts? They’re out there, but few listeners seem to show them a level of attention that feels commensurate to the things they’ve accomplished. Regardless of whether you’re watching, metal in Santa Fe is as big as it’s ever been. “It’s definitely not the norm, it’s definitely not the status quo,” says Shiloh Marin, a lifelong Santa Fean, metal fan and former metal singer who may appear at more metal shows than the band members themselves. “It’s loud and aggressive and speaks to that primal side of all of us. The metal scene is the strongest it has been, and I think it can only get stronger.” Metal bands, of course, have always been here, but

the genre has enjoyed a resurgence in the last few years. The bands are infiltrating the larger rooms like Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery and Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom while strengthening their hold on DIY spaces. They’re releasing albums more prolifically and frequently than almost any other Santa Fe genre, and they’re looking out for one another, reveling in each other’s successes. They’ve managed to eke out some respect with minimal resources. And though this story can’t cover every last shredder, guttural screamer or blast-beat champion living and performing in and around Santa Fe, it should go a ways to prove metal’s worth to the uninitiated. It is fearsome and powerful, even if you don’t fully understand it yet. With a full deck of shows coming up over the summer months, as well as the gargantuan Monolith on the Mesa festival in Taos on May 17 and 18, it’s time to give metal the spotlight it deserves.
The Wizard
Augustine Ortiz doesn’t get time to himself anymore. Between his membership in numerous metal bands, the many shows he books and promotes, his day job as a developer, analyst and white hat hacker for Los Alamos-based company Attack Research, and his audio studio The Decibel
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
BOBBIE JO MARQUEZ
Augustine Ortiz of Carrion Kind and Dyphotic also runs metalheavy studio The Decibel Foundry.
Steven Montoya of Savage Wizdom shreds the gnar at a recent Southside practice.
Foundry, if Ortiz is awake, he’s probably working. But it’s been worth it: Nearly every local metal band of note either records or rehearses at his studio. “I don’t much sleep, and I work a lot of nights and weekends,” Ortiz says. “A lot of people think [the studio] is my day job, and I wish that were the case—but I need balance. Even if The Decibel Foundry really took off, I’d probably still do my day job.” Ortiz may be the most pivotal element of the local metal scene, and he often barely breaks even if he makes any money from it at all. As the principal music writer and sole guitarist for death metal quartet Carrion Kind, he’s an absolute shredder; as the lead guitarist for black death act Dysphotic, he proves he’s mastered multiple metal angles. He hasn’t done it alone, but in nearly every interview conducted for this story, metal purveyors of all faiths and creeds made unsolicited mention of Ortiz as the one person most deserving of credit. He was likened to a wizard. Ortiz fell in love with metal after unearthing his father’s Black Sabbath eight tracks as a teen, and has proven a shrewd
operator with keen skill for musicianship, business and networking. The metal scene wouldn’t fall apart without him, but it’s better off with him involved. Lucky, then, that he’s committed to maintaining his contributions for the long haul. But it wasn’t always a strong scene. In the mid-aughts, Santa Fe was awash in Americana and country rock—and we’re still recovering. Metal was relegated to sporadic shows. Then Ortiz joined forces with musician and promoter Pascual Romero (formerly of bands like In This Moment, currently of Devil’s Throne) around 2012, and together they attempted to provide the metal scene with more life following the loss of venues like Warehouse 21, The Underground and Skylight in subsequent years. (Disclosure: This writer has a personal relationship with Romero, but he was not interviewed for this story.) In many ways, Ortiz and Romero have succeeded. Bigger-name bands such as Intronaut and Cattle Decapitation have toured through Santa Fe, and musicians who had either played shows that were few or far between or who had lain dormant re-
united to form new bands, including Ortiz’ own Carrion Kind and Dysphotic. Marrow Monger, Fields of Elysium, Street Tombs and many more popped up, too. Since then, DIY venues such as Ghost and Zephyr Community Art Studio have exploded onto the scene. The most paramount of all, The Cave (once dubbed the Dave Cave), still runs actively. Metal shows became a regular occurrence for the first time in ages, and the once-scattered legions of musicians who bore their songs and style grew stronger and closer and intermingled. “I wanted to promote properly, and I wanted to make the scene what it was back in 2003, when [venues were] strong and youth bands were doing well,” Ortiz tells SFR of his early efforts. “The metal genre was the most accepting of experimentation; playing metal was the most free.”
The Cave
Also in 2012, two guys named Dave and one named Dex transformed a warehouse/living space into a local metal mecca in Mid-

town. At the time, David Ahern-Seronde (of bands like Ol’ Dagger and Cripple), David McMaster (of Street Tombs, Heretical Sect and Superstition) and Dex Valdez (Yar, Ol’ Dagger) just wanted a place to host metal shows. They named it The Dave Cave, and it was an almost immediate success. Scores of starved metalheads flocked through, and by the following year, countless bands had toured to Santa Fe. The proprietors built a half-pipe in the space’s yard, drawing even more fans, along with skaters, punk lovers and general rabble-rousers. In other words, if you’ve not congregated around a bonfire at The Dave Cave while a show raged inside, have you ever truly lived? The space has run without incident since then (the unofficial motto is “Respect the space”) and played host to some of the biggest names in modern metal—all with sweet slots for local acts. By 2015, the original party animals had moved on, though they continue to play music, and the moniker was shortened to The Cave. Today it’s run by couple Ben Brodsky (of Street Tombs) and Heather Honyumptewa, and it’s as well-attended as ever, even if the shows occur less frequently. It remains a testament to the DIY spirit and community-minded ethos of Santa Fe’s metal scene.
The Upstarts
In Midtown Santa Fe one recent night, while waiting for a Street Tombs show at The Cave to begin, I wander toward the distant and heavy sounds of metal. I’ve been told local act Marrow Monger practices nearby, and I’m fairly certain it’s them. But I can’t figure out which door to enter. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

“I’ve thought about it as cross-pollination,” Quanah Lee says of the scene. “Something about the metal community has a connection to it, and I’ve jammed with so many bands over the years that it makes me want to go watch all the other different bands that have started, to see the way their art has manifested.” Lee is a founding member of Fields of Elysium, a wild and mathy prog-metal group known for off-kilter beats and complex technical guitar harmonies layered over guttural death metal vocals. “I kind of laugh about it and say we’re almost a mix of Cannibal Corpse and Si-
mon and Garfunkel,” Lee says, noting that some of his favorite things to play on guitar include Beethoven and Bach. “A lot of people say metal is very classical in origin, and I think if [classical composers] had had access to MIDI controllers and pedals, they’d probably have had fun with it—there’s a depth of technicality, and I feel like metal has found a way to highlight that.” Lee is also behind Quantars, a custom guitar-building company through which he conceives and builds gorgeous instruments that make use of woodworking techniques and design elements with the metal player in mind. “They incorporate a lot of artistic outlets,” Lee says, “but there was definitely a stack of learning curves. I had a pretty intuitive understanding of the instrument down to the design features and subtle lines, but I had to fill in the technical sides.” Lee’s learned a lot since his first run of guitars and says he’s about to release his 12th build, a heady milestone. But it’s one that Lee might not have envisioned during the darker days of local metal. “It seems like when venues close,

work to come in from his sister Lindsay Payton, an illustrator known for embracing creepy horror elements. Then, they’ll release their newest album, recorded at The Decibel Foundry and titled Versus. For now, it’s a waiting game, and Payton is quick to identify a collaborative songwriting spirit within the band. “We didn’t have any expectation like, ‘We want the album to sound like this,’” Payton says. “Everyone in the band has the ability to do whatever they want, and we’ve been able to make it work.” It works. Marrow Monger’s newer material feels like equal parts throwback death and progressive thrash with more complicated elements and unbelievably heavy breakdowns; it fits well into the local schema, but it’s distinctive. “In this region, I think we have some of the best musicians around,” Payton continues. “There’s so much talent, everyone is so diverse— and you don’t really get that a lot of places. I wish people understood [that metal] is as much an art as going to any kind of show or gallery.” At the rehearsal, the band is already tightening new material, and while it’s similar to the few unreleased tracks I’ve heard off Versus, it’s also pushing the sound further in terms of complexity.

With members of once-active bands like Insight and Torn Between Worlds, Marrow Monger has a lineage to be proud of, and from the muffled sounds tearing out of the warehouse on Calle del Commercio, they’re living up to the reputation. Ten minutes later, with the help of some very nice metalheads I encounter in the darkness, I’m inside the practice space, banging my head and barely able to take proper photos. According to drummer Bryce Payton, Marrow Monger is just waiting for the art-

As for why the area has embraced metal so heartily? “There’s just something about the isolation of the desert,” Romero says. there’s not enough of a musical market to propagate metal,” he says. “I don’t know what the proper environment is for the perfect musical venue, but I remember life before The Cave; and there are certain environments that can stimulate the necessities of metal.” For now, Lee says Fields of Elysium is trying to wrap its upcoming album, In Ancient Contemplation, scheduled for a July 1 release with a show at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery. For guitarist Zac Hogan, the evolution of the metal scene has been a firsthand experience. Previously, he played bass for local act Casso Vita and he was a member of sadly defunct doom trio Drought, a band this writer loved in a way that’s a little too serious. These days, Hogan splits his time between Dysphotic and St. Victim’s, a death metal outfit that rolls up elements of punk rock for fun, energetic thrash songs. Hogan is the primary songwriter for both bands, and says the familial elements of the Santa Fe metal scene keep him creating, but that his love for writing and listening to the stuff is more of a feeling than anything else. “Performing is one thing, getting up there and having a release from all the bullshit in your life,” Hogan says, “but there’s also the factor of camaraderie; some sort of family outside of family.” Dysphotic plays Monolith on the Mesa in May, and also plans to kick off a tour this July.
The Singer
“Blackened doom is probably the best way to describe it,” vocalist Ashley Romero says of her band Devil’s Throne. “We do have slower parts, but we’re not like a traditional doom band.” Devil’s Throne is sort of a superband, with members from Dysphotic and St. Victim’s alongside Romero and her husband Pascual (yeah, the same one who worked with Augustine Ortiz). Musically speaking, Romero stays out of it, but the vocals and lyrics are entirely her domain. “For some reason, I don’t know why, I’m really drawn to the different types of

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
The upcoming summer is slammed with metal shows at various venues across town for longtime listeners, new fans or those who are kneedeep in this story and wondering how to get involved. The following are not indiciative of every single show going down over the next few months, but they’re certainly a start. All shows start at 8 pm —except Monolith, which is day-long.
Steve Montoya of Savage Wizdom has a metal pedigree that extends back to the ’80s and bands like Prowler.
The Family Business
Devil’s Throne vocalist Ashley Romero is all about mythology in her lyrics and lately, she tells SFR, being buried alive. Metal!
mythology,” Romero explains. “It makes for great metal songwriting.” She values storytelling—Devil’s Throne songs are all narrative-heavy. It’s a far cry from her high school days as a clarinet player, but after Romero moved from her tiny hometown of Anson, Texas, to Southern California, metal became a more pervasive art form in her life. Romero is also a self-trained singer and has developed a technique of screaming—the metal vocal style of choice—that she says doesn’t “shred” her vocal chords. “It’ll sound stupid,” she says, “but once I started screaming from a more natural place, I could actually scream an entire song.” Romero’s style is definitely evil, a lowerthan-expected growl that, unlike most metal singers, is intelligible. It’s frankly a bit of a cop-out to write off an entire genre for not being able to understand the lyrics, but making out Romero’s ups the connection factor even as we’re pretty scared of her ferocity.
Of all the Santa Fe metal bands throughout the ages, none has withstood the test of time like Savage Wizdom. Founded in 2005, the band’s one consistent member, Steve Montoya, says he’s kept it going because “I’ve always managed to surround myself with good musicians.” Montoya and company are a bit of a throwback. He even describes the sound as “hard rock” as opposed to metal. “Like Zeppelin or Black Sabbath,” he explains, though he maintains that the Savage Wizdom sound can keep up with the heaviest of the heavy. The original members have all moved on over the years, but Montoya’s son Steven—“We call him that so nobody gets confused,” Montoya says—has come into the fold, first as a bassist and now as a guitarist. Montoya says he’s offered his son the keys to the kingdom a couple times, but young Steven has his sights set on making a name for himself with his own band some day. For now, Savage Wizdom is kicking off the recording process for their next fulllength at The Decibel Foundry. And though it’s completely written, Montoya says he’s already focused on the next songs. “Songs come to me constantly,” he says. “Even though we’re starting to record, I’ve got 16 more in my head right now.”
Every thing Else
Of course, this merely scratches the surface, and it’s true what these people are saying: Metal is huge in Santa Fe. But there are dozens of musicians and plenty of other bands to check out, most of which simply couldn’t fit here. There’s the new energy of Choking on Air and the crushing brutality of Heretical Sect; there’s the sometimes-silly activity of Strangled by Strangulation and the national and international stoner metal releases of local label King Volume Records. Think of this like a starting point; a primer. The rest, as they say, is up to you. SFREPORTER.COM

Book Smart
Superscript explores the book as both sculptural object and original technology BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
I
n typography, superscripts point readers toward interstitial information: think footnotes, mathematical exponents, ordinal indicators. In form & concept’s new group exhibit, Superscript, more than a dozen book artists use the term as a lens through which to consider the boundaries—or lack thereof—of books as both objects of beauty and cultural intermediaries. Gallery Director Jordan Eddy says the show’s genesis was the work of Melody Sumner Carnahan and Michael Sumner, a wife/husband writer/designer team behind Santa Fe imprint Burning Books. 1 “They come up with these ideas that boil over from a book format into other formats,” Eddy says, referencing the multiple audio recordings, videos, posters and cards the pair has produced over the years—not to mention the repurposed soup cans, happily on display in this show. “Their ideas cannot be contained within a single format,” he says. “They’re such ambitious artists and multidisciplinary artists, and it lands them on the fringes of the more traditional book art commu-
nity because they are doing stuff that is so weird and different and multifaceted.” The pair’s pieces in the group show include framed walled presentations of both new and previous works developed from Sumner Carnahan’s short fiction, as well as a vinyl window display that reads, in part, “the ideal story begins innocently like a fairy tale …” “All we’ve ever done is made books that turn into audio works, video works or wall works,” Sumner Carnahan said when I spoke to her at the show’s crowded opening, my digital recorder held up to her face while she stood with her arm around me in front of a piece titled “clean slate test case”—which, she noted, “has all different kinds of language, because the whole thing turns into different parts of reality.” Pro tip: Buy the book versions of these prints and take them home in order to spend unfettered time with them. Sparked by Burning Books, Eddy says “book installation” was the seed of the show, but from there, he was guided by the question: “Can a book incapsulate other media or connect with other media?” The answer, he notes, was yes, “absolutely.” I don’t want to say I walked around the show in a state of quivering excitement
because “quivering excitement” sounds like the kind of writing one might find in a romance novel (not that there’s anything wrong with romance novels), but I will confess to moments of wanting to grab certain pieces and … stroke them. This, fortunately, is copacetic for several pieces (form & concept conscientiously provides hand wipes for visitors to use before doing so). For example, Hannah Bennett’s “The Feral Book” turns its book materials into a nearly animate object—somewhere between baby wolf and scarf. Alicia Bailey’s “Almost Endless” assembles through steel armatures and magnets hundreds of hand-printed pages handstitched into paper spines that evoke an oversized wind chime waiting on a breeze. Some of the large-scale installations prompt less physical and more cerebral responses. For instance, Edie Tsong’s “Roswell” consists of her hand-written copies of every name in the 2001/2002 Roswell phone book (originally creat-
TECH
ed during a residency Tsong had in the town). The pages took two days to install to precision, Eddy notes; they had previously been stacked in storage in a box. “It was such a perfect example of an exploded book,” he says, referring to the show’s original working title. “It’s a book on the wall and all the names are bleeding together; you’re thinking about the fabric of a community, and everyone also is anonymized by it.” Finally, situated almost as a complete show-within-a-show, Erin Mickelson’s “LIMINAL betwixt/between” acknowledges and plays with the tension between book as original technology and our current digital platforms. Put another way, Mickelson collaborated with bots and algorithms in this work (in a totally unpolitical way that did not ruin society). The piece includes a handmade book containing a tablet displaying in real time the poems generated by @poem_exe on Twitter. Mickelson also created suminagashi prints of the poems, which were then digitized by the bot @pixelsorter (a poignant narrative note from the artist informs viewers that this last bot was struck down during “the great bot massacre of 2018”). Finally, Mickelson recorded the bot’s poems and a video projection captures the frequencies of her voice while reading them. “I tend to overthink things,” Mickelson said when I asked her, very professionally, if she was a crazed genius. I could, space permitting, go on at great length about how interesting this show is but, alas, I can only squeeze in this tiny coda: Go see it and read it yourself. SUPERSCRIPT Through July 13.

FIRE! Wildfires are always a concern in Santa Fe—but, according to the film Era of Megafires, in most cases here and elsewhere, while they may have grown worse, they’re often preventable. Through a combination of interviews with experts, animated sequences and footage of wildfires, the documentary aims to educate and entertain, but also to chart action for the future. “[The film] kicks off Wildfire Preparedness Week by exposing the wicked problem of these huge wildfires,” says event administrator Sam Berry of the Forest Stewards Guild. “There are solutions that can help to get us out of this mess.” A panel Q&A and discussion with Berry and others follows the screening.

MUSIC FRI/3 MR. MISTER In January, celebrated local reggae champ Mister Kali released the jam “Hungry,” featuring his fellow artist Dub Gideon, and the measured examination of the sorry state of international food politics and hunger was a banger and a half. It’s no less than we expect from Kali, a longtime reggae hustler with his hand in more than a few local projects and a long and storied career of straight-up jams. Of course, there’s bound to be plenty more where that came from, so when Kali schedules a show, it’s probably worth it; y’know, just to find out what else he’s working on. Find him this week at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery, probably one of the only stages around town with a system that can handle that bass. (Alex De Vore) Mister Kali: 8 pm Friday May 3. Free.

BOOK/LECTURE SUN/5
The Time is Now Memoir about the Rez is more necessary than ever By page six of Medicine and Miracles, I had already emailed Dr. Erica Elliott to request an interview. By the 10th page, I was in tears. Four hours later, I’d finished Elliott’s memoir of her time as a white woman teaching, herding sheep and practicing medicine on the Navajo Reservation in the 1970s and ’80s. A book that easily could have slipped into simplistic white-savior narrative was instead an honest, woke, deeply engrossing read about culture, friendship and steep learning curves, all set in one of the most breathtaking environments on the planet. We meet Elliott in 1971 as a young, idealistic teacher from New England who finds herself in a fourth-grade classroom at a boarding school outside Chinle, and we learn along with her as she makes faux pas after faux pas. But she is always willing—perhaps even eager—to admit her mistakes, ever transparent about the struggles and miracles she experienced. The story feels immediate and urgent, Elliott says, because it was essentially written in real time. “This is all from my diaries,” she says. “I had basically written the story as it was unfolding.”
A frequent refrain throughout is that no one will believe these stories. It’s true, many are pretty wild (especially the ones about the peyote ceremonies); but, as Elliott tell SFR, “I’m not a bullshitter. At all. I have very little pretense, for somebody who’s a medical doctor.” When asked why she decided to tell her story now, nearly 50 years after she first arrived on the rez, she says, “I can’t go around my whole life holding in this story; it’s too important. … I started blogging about this story right after the election in 2016. I saw so much hate in the news— just hate, hate, hate. So I thought, I’ve gotta make my contribution ... to present a different kind of story; an antidote to the estrangement and alienation and hatred toward that which is different from us. I can’t hold this in any more. It’s time now.” (Charlotte Jusinski) DR. ERICA ELLIOTT: MEDICINE AND MIRACLES IN THE HIGH DESERT 2 pm Sunday May 5.

Noise Evolved HEALTH continues to refine the sound of troubled times on excellent new album BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
“T
hey are always different; they are always the same,” British DJ John Peel famously said of his favorite band, The Fall. And while some bands choose to reinvent themselves from recording to recording, sometimes even outright changing genres altogether, others choose to refine themselves. Such bands can sometimes draw criticism for relying on formula, but oftentimes I find myself loving bands that are confident enough in what they’re doing to simply try to perfect it with each album. Their discographies feel like a progression rather than scattered points on a broad map, and while some bands shine in reinvention there are others—like Los Angeles-based HEALTH— that are compelling in their ever-forward march into territory that, like The Fall, somehow feels familiar and new all at once. On Vol. 4 :: Slaves of Fear, out last February, HEALTH seems to acknowledge it is one of these bands, presenting the album as an installment of its over-arching work rather than simply a new album. “It’s all kind of the same graph,” bassist and founding member John Famiglietti tells SFR. “Even when stuff is changing or sounds a little different, it’s still refining a vocabulary of this sound.”
HEALTH has always stuck close to familiar touchstones of noise and industrial rock while maintaining a textural complexity and the immediately recognizable hushed vocal delivery of singer and guitarist Jake Duzsik. And though the new album sounds like HEALTH and the tweaks are minor, immediately the nü-metal chug of the guitars are notable in the second track “Feel Nothing.” The rest mines the best of the oftmaligned sound of the aughts, when dance music met with heavier, almost metal tones. Elements of dance and club music build on the group’s previous album, 2015’s excellent Death Magic. “That was a whole learning curve of stuff we didn’t know how to do before,” Famiglietti says of the band’s expansion into electronic music territory. It’s that HEALTH was born ready, but the band is extra-ready right now.
Even when stuff is changing or sounds a little different, it’s still refining a vocabulary of this sound. -John Famiglietti
level of desire to experiment that continues to set HEALTH apart, placing them into the same category as Peel’s assessment of The Fall. “We’re still very hungry to accomplish the sort of things we’ve done with the sound,” he adds.

That path of refinement, however, could be self-defeating for lesser acts. The question becomes whether or not perfection is attainable and, if it is, then where do you go from there? Famiglietti doesn’t seem sure it’s a reachable goal to begin with, but it’s one he strives toward anyway. “I would like to reach [perfection] if it’s possible, but the answer to what you want always changes,” he tells SFR. “When it comes to ‘want,’ and just life in general, if you get something, you immediately want more or want something else or want it better. I think all humans are always consumed by this sort of want and unfulfilled-ness. I guess the Buddhists got it right, or whatever.” That same air of detached humanism pervades Vol. 4 :: Slaves of Fear, the title

track of which warns of the consequences inherent in blindly following the reality presented to us by those who profit from it; namely, political, religious and/or corporate interests that would prefer endless war to the enhancement of human life. It’s a message delivered at the right time—and a happy surprise, given the band’s famously long gestation periods for albums. HEALTH apparently sat on the songs for months before finalizing them for release, tweaking here and there and incorporating its production into a songwriting tool of its own. The end result is a zeitgeist for the moment we live in, a thoughtful work built on focus and intent—a stunning example of a band that is always different; always the same.

Shakespeare
COURTESY DAVE WAYNE
We first came across percussionist Dave Wayne years ago during a performance of his brilliant but sadly defunct band Things That Are Heard. At the time, he was also drumming with post-punk act Venus Bogardus—another killer band we miss. Since then, Wayne has been a bit of a musical transient, applying his skills to rock, punk, Afrobeat, hip-hop, jazz and anything that might be described as “avant-garde.” This week finds Wayne joining forces with electronic musician Thollem McDonas for a night of oddball electronica-influenced jazzy fusion (8 pm Friday May 3. $10-$15. Paradiso, 903 Early St.). Bring on the Qs. (Alex De Vore) When it comes to electronic music, we don’t often hear a lot of actual, physical drums. How do you fit in? You just kind of look for the space, listen to what’s going on around you and try to make a choice that will work. Fortunately, most of the people in these kinds of settings also want to make it work, so it’s very cooperative. But I’ve always really enjoyed acoustic drums in an electronic music setting. There’s something raw and untamed about a drum kit, and you put it in this very refined surrounding and … there’s a friction that occurs. It’ll be interesting. Timbre-wise, you have the pedal steel, which has a really distinctive sound, and what Thollem’s doing is a little more percussive. At the electronic keyboard he gets a lot of different sounds. There are limitations and there are freedoms that you’re allowed.

What always draws you to the more avant-garde musical forms? I think a certain measure of it is that I’ve been typecast. ‘Oh, Dave Wayne—he does weird stuff!” My friends do outsider kinds of music, but I like playing funk and jazz and straightforward rock just as much any anyone else. Playing rock makes its own demands, and they’re different than playing jazz or improvisation. There are gray areas and areas of overlap. I’ve failed miserably at times playing rock, because I approach it as a jazz musician. But armed with that, I’ll make better decisions in the future. Santa Fe is a great town for music, but it’s also a terrible town for music. Getting audiences is a crapshoot. Anything else you’re working on that we should be aware of? I’m in a few different bands. [Jazz band] OrnEtc. is still an active concern, and we’ve recently added an incredibly talented saxophonist named Alex Murzyn to the lineup, and we’re really excited to work with him. I’m also working with Mustafa Stefan Dill in a band that combines Middle Eastern music and Mahavishnu-style jazz fusion; it’s close to some of the things John Zorn is doing. That seems like a really promising band. I’m also in a new band called Shatner Powerslide. It’s instrumental rock for lack of a better term. And I’m also playing with [Afrobeat act] Shake Alert still. We just finished recording a CD.

Aw, Snap Foto Forum returns under the expert eye of photographer Sage Paisner
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
age Paisner knew he’d only have nine months in the space, but it was just too good to pass up. He opened the nonprofit Foto Forum Santa Fe on Paseo de Peralta, just down the street from SITE Santa Fe, in November of 2017 and began hosting exhibits and teaching photography workshops. By the summer of 2018, however, one of his landlords made good on a promise to take over the space for a studio of his own. Paisner, however, was already hooked on the Foto Forum formula— one wherein the art, education and science of photography can intersect. Come this Friday, the nonprofit reopens again, a mere few yards from its original location in a new space Paisner describes as “smaller, but much nicer.” Paisner’s story is unusual. Whereas most Santa Fe youths clamor to escape the city as soon as they reach college age, his ultimate goal was to end up here and to give back to the community he holds so dear. Paisner began by learning the ropes of photography at the University of New Mexico in 2001. There, he got the basics to build and safely maintain a darkroom and executed series such as a string of silver gelatin self portraits. He took two years off after graduating but, he says, a former UNM teacher urged him to apply to CalArts in 2008. He was

accepted, and once there, expanded his horizons into a broader scope, including film and documentation of under- and misrepresented communities. He would even work with Native activist Russell Means on a series about the American Indian Movement—but, he says, Santa Fe still called to him. He returned in 2015. These days, Paisner teaches photography at CalArts each January, but Foto Forum and Santa Fe are his main focus. “I wanted to bring something different to Santa Fe. Growing up here and not having a lot for the youth to do; seeing my friends in prison or get into drugs or OD … the arts put me on the right path,” Paisner says. “The youth don’t have great opportunities, so to allow them to combine old and new [photography techniques] is lucky.” Outside of Foto Forum’s exhibits, Paisner, along with a number of volunteers and interns, use the venue as a low-cost educational center. Workshops are available to the public, and the staff provides low or no-cost classes to schools
in Santa Fe and elsewhere. On the day of our interview, Paisner was heading to Artesia to teach a public school workshop set up with the help of the New Mexico School for the Arts. “Comparing photography to a record is a great analogy: People buy records because there’s no tactile feeling to downloading a song. With a record, you get to feel it, you get to pull the booklet out, there’s the nostalgia. And it’s the same with photography—most kids have only been able to look at images through a backlit screen,” Paisner explains. “Where I come from, it’s not a photograph until it’s on paper, a substrate; and even then, it’s not finished until you figure out how to present it—our students want that tactility; they find out it has depth and beauty, a detail and tonal value you can’t get with digital.” Of course, he’s not entirely shirking new methods, and workshops in lighting as well as digital portraiture, printing and more are on the slate for later in the year.

A&C
For the reopening on Friday May 3, Paisner brings in the big guns such as Joel Orozco, a former CalArts student of Paisner’s. Orozco presents color and black and white images culled from and inspired by his upbringing in Southern California and Chihuahua, Mexico. Paisner says Orozco is interested in the folklore of the places he grew up, and that his photos find him taking masks to subjects who then act out scenes based in memory. Also featured is Judy Fiskin, a former teacher of Paisner’s who uses videography to examine sociopolitical topics. For example, her piece The End of Photography tackles the ubiquitousness of digital photography and the apparent death of film-led analog methods. That day, thankfully, hasn’t come yet, but the champions of the art form are certainly dwindling. Rounding out the show is Joyce Neimanas, a former teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago. Neimanas taught at UNM from 2004 to 2010 and was the teacher who urged Paisner to apply to CalArts. Upon retiring, Neimanas ensconced herself in photography and videography, capturing anything from still lifes and tattoo to collage and nudes. As for Foto Forum itself, Paisner says he’s in it for the foreseeable future. His new lease has an option to renew, and he still has plenty of plans. “I think photography is universal. It democratizes imagery, it’s attainable to most people,” he says. “And I say that knowing we’re very privileged in America, but I just think we love looking. I just think we’re going to be attracted to images.”

infusion includes a similar mix as Aperol, but also includes bitter orange peel and elderflower, among others. Cocchi Americano is best served over ice, with a spritz of seltzer water and an orange peel garnish. Another spring-friendly spirit is cachaça, the main ingredient of Brazil’s famous caipirinha. While it’s actually the third-most consumed distilled spirit on the planet, in America, it’s used mainly as a mixer. My favorite brand is Novo Fogo, which produces seven varieties of organic cachaça, from light to dark, responsibly made from hand-harvested sugarcane in a zero-waste facility. Since you’ve already got Cocchi American and Aperol on your mind, add Novo Fogo to your shopping list, as this drink combines all three!

ast week I wrote about patios, and how wonderful it is to find a kind one for spring sitting. I want to continue this line of magical thinking by extending these thoughts to other things that go along with spring: readying up our homes with spring cleaning, pulling covers off patio chairs and maybe inviting some friends over for refreshing cocktails among a backyard bloom. While I do love a cocktail, the art of mixology evades me. I tend to stick with simply-made drinks, my go-to’s being the Aperol spritz and Cocchi Americano. Both come from Italy and both involve an orange. Simplicity! The Aperol spritz is one of the most popular drinks in Italy; an easy-to-make, easy-to-drink aperitif. It’s made mostly of flowers and rhubarb and has a wonderful, rich, herbal flavor. Aperol is similar to Campari, but with a much lower alcohol level, 11%, making it perfect for sipping away the day. The Aperol spritz makes a great spring drink because it’s easy to put together. You simply pour equal parts Aperol and prosecco over ice, in a large wine glass, add a dash of seltzer water, and garnish with an orange peel. In the same vein as Aperol is Cocchi Americano. Cocchi is an aperitif that bridges the worlds between liquor and wine, as it is technically wine with a small amount of bittered—or “amaricato”— alcohol. In this case, the herb and spice

and appeared on television, in podcasts and more, teaching “the spirited, liquid element of gastronomy.” Bovis is also a co-founder of OM Liqueurs, an awardwinning line of organic spirits. In other words, this woman knows her shizzle. A few years back, noting that Santa Fe had “world-class chefs and cuisines, but a cocktail culture that wasn’t quite on par,” Bovis created the New Mexico Cocktails & Culture Culinary Festival as a way to teach people, both professionals and athome practitioners, more about the art of mixology. Held May 31 through June 2 at the Drury Plaza Hotel, the overall goal is to grow mixology as part of Santa Fe’s culinary scene while giving back to the local community. “We’ve come a long way in Santa Fe cocktail culture, but to be on par with big cities we still have a ways to go,” says Bovis. “This is an affordable and fun way for us as a community to get there.” Now in its sixth year, the festival offers classes for professionals and hobbyists as well as fun events including the popular Taco Wars (which sold out, but there’s a waitlist at nmcocktailculture.com) and the Chef & Shaker challenge ($95), pairing cocktails and food by some of Santa Fe’s best. “It started as a passion project and is now probably the thing I am most proud of, because it shows off both my home town and its truly impressive culinary industry,” Bovis tells SFR. The festival is followed by New Mexico Cocktails & Culture culinary week (June 2-9) where selected restaurants offer special food and cocktail pairings. If you’re more into staying at home, Bovis offers up a favorite spring drink of her own. Bottoms up! Note: Aperol is available at most grocery stores. Other brands mentioned can be found at specialty stores including Owl’s Liquors (913 Hickox St., 982-1751) and Susan’s Fine Wine and Spirits (1005 S St. Francis Drive, 984-1582).

+ BREAKNECK
It’s been a little over 10 years since the first Iron Man film taught us that comic book flicks could be well-made, quite fun and well worth it, and the saga it spawned—which of course rolls up about a zillion other titles from Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel to Dr. Strange and Spider-Man: Homecoming—comes to a close in the latest and final (we think) Avengers movie, Endgame. We rejoin Iron Man, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow, Rocket Raccoon, Ant Man and a whole cadre of other heroes in the aftermath of super villain Thanos’ finger-snapping annihilation of 50% of the universe’s living creatures. This meant a whole mess of our favorites—like Spider-Man, dammit—had faded to death and to dust. Cue tears. But despite the despotic madman from across the stars’ best hopes for some sort of universal balance restoration, pretty much no one in the galaxy is grateful. Hence, the surviving Earthlings and non-Earthlings alike keep the teamwork going and hatch a plan to try and bring everyone back. Cue more tears. It’s true what you’ve heard about Endgame‘s long runtime ( just pee before), but the magic in directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s latest entry is in how it never ever stops rocking even for an instant. If anything, it feels a little shorter than it
FUN AND INCREDIBLE SPECIAL EFFECTS; SO SATISFYING - A LITTLE MANIPULATIVE WITH THE OLD EMOTIONS
could have been. Perhaps it’s in how everything from every extended franchise has been leading to this showdown since day one, or maybe it’s in the clever ways the Russo brothers manage to present a greatest hits feel without exhausting the audience. Even the slower moments feel necessary, even the clearly emotionally manipulative swelling of the music as fight scenes go down or friends come together feel warranted. For this and so many other reasons, Endgame is wildly satisfying, even when it doesn’t pan out in the ways we might like. Cue even more tears—which is odd, really, because these are comic book characters with fantastic powers who are wrapped up in utterly absurd scenarios time and time again. But they’ve been with us most of our lives, in comic form and on television, in movie theaters and video games. Scoff if you will, non-fans, but for those who surrender to the siren call of Marvel Comics and Studios, it feels like we’re rooting for our friends through every painful twist and heart-soaring victory.
Toss in that tech that makes old folks look young and young folks look old, some honest-toGod tearjerker moments and the return of Brie Larson’s ultra-fun Carol Danvers, and we’ve really got something going. Think of it like a love letter to the fans—a bombastic, over-the-top love letter rife with the smoothest CGI, a darker tone and a couple cameos from the Community cast (from whence the Russo brothers came) all working together in glorious synergy for what is easily one of the best action movies of our time. Go for the face-punching, stay for the hugs; engage in the culture every once in awhile.

HELLBOY
Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, The Handmaid’s Tale) is Becky Something, the leader of the once-glorious punk rock trio Something She. Once upon a time, the self-described “girl band” went gold, sold out stadiums, graced magazine covers and made or broke the careers of the generations that followed. But when we join them at the tail end of a massive tour, burnout, misplaced pride and drug abuse have taken their toll and have driven Becky to the brink of madness. Through a series of ex-

tended vignettes and camcorder throwbacks to the better days, we watch Becky frantically abuse bandmates both physically and emotionally, ruin studio sessions for younger musicians, trash her mother, fight her ex and nearly break her infant daughter’s neck. Years on the road have broken her, and no amount of understanding from her inner circle—bassist Marielle Hell (Agyness Deyn) and drummer Ali van der Wolf (Gayle Rankin)—can help fix it.
Her Smell is Elisabeth Moss’ movie. She owns it. It’s hers.
Moss disappears completely into the role, channeling a mix of once-beloved punk rock icon clinging to her faded last scraps of glory and empty shell of a woman looking to heal self-inflicted wounds any place other than inward. Her Smell is ultimately quiet but jarring; one uncomfortable encounter after another that bring us to the edge of tears time and time again but, like Marielle Hell says: Becky might have been bad, yet we never stop loving her. We get it, in fact—she’s terrified and not herself: The void once filled with screaming crowds and mega-hit albums doesn’t seem to fill the same way anymore, but it’s all she knows and it’s how she’s trapped herself. Rock bottom might not even be low enough. Later scenes shine a light on redemption and chosen family, even if a peripheral band that worships at Becky’s feet feels underused. Ditto for Eric Stoltz as the head of Becky’s label, Amber Heard as a musical frenemy and Dan Stevens as the ex trying to get on with his life. We understand why they’re there, we just don’t really get a sense of them outside of how they revolve around Becky. Deyn and Rankin are fantastic together, however, a semi-strong unit formed in a survival response to Becky’s violent actions and teetering on the brink themselves.

+ FOLKLORE IS OBJECTIVELY COOL - WHY DO THEY KEEP LEAVING THE KIDS IN OTHER ROOMS?
For those who come from places familiar with the folklore, The Curse of La Llorona, the newest entry from the Annabelle microcosm of films—such as The Nun and The Conjuring—have probably felt irritated by the thought of a Hollywood take on the age-old tale. And these people are right, because it’s a pretty terrible movie if we’re being generous, and a lousy example of appropriation if we’re being honest. Freaks & Geeks alum Linda Cardellini is Anna, a social worker-slash-mom whose cop husband, a Hispanic man we’re told, died before the events of the film. Life is hard, raising kids alone is tough; Anna gets the briefest expositional moments before it’s off to take kids away from a poor Mexican mother because she locked them in a closet “to keep them safe.” Really, we know she’s hiding them from being Llorona’d. But when those kids wind up in the social care system and subsequently disappear, Anna’s own brood wind up stalked by the ghostly remains of a once-beautiful woman who, years ago, in a fit of jealous rage, drowned her children and now ghosts around drowning other kids so they can somehow take their place. She’s La Llorona, dammit. Anna sets about confronting the spirit with the help of a defrocked priest-slash-curandero (Raymond Cruz of Breaking Bad), but La Llorona is more powerful than they can imagine, so jump scares occur, close calls go down and the music swells suddenly while the ghost tries to drown everybody. It’s horror, y’know? You basically know the gist. In the beginning, glimpses of the ghost are pretty scary, but once we’ve seen her a few times and the law of diminishing returns kicks in, it really becomes a game of running down the clock. And this would all be acceptable in that horror movies are often not so great, but La Llorona centers the story on white folks (not counting the kids, because don’t forget that the dead dad was Hispanic—but even they take a backseat to the mom’s actions despite being the targets of attempted ghost murder). There are certainly other Hispanic cast members, but they’re relegated to plot devices with shitty motives and deus ex machina which, frankly, is tiresome and problematic. Cardellini does have her moments, particularly in how she might be the first actor ever to deliver a believable onscreen scream, but after she leaves the kids alone one too many times, we start to

+ ABSURD BUT IN THE RIGHT WAYS - WONKY NARRATIVE; BAD PERFORMANCES
Why did we need a reboot of the Mike Mignolacreated comic-turned-movie Hellboy when Guillermo del Toro’s original two were perfectly fine fantasy flicks? Well, because it’s fun and brutal, and because sometimes you just need a movie that’s stupid enough and strange enough and rated-R enough to provide raw, unadulterated escapism. Sometimes you realize the more mainstream comic book movie world has leaned a little too far into “gritty realism,” and sometimes the studios just like doing things like that. For these reasons, Hellboy is wonderful fun, but make no mistake—it’s by no means a good movie. When we meet our behorned demon pal Hellboy (retconned but only sorta-kinda by Stranger Things star David Harbour), he’s all angst and trimmed demon horns and huge guns and sick of his dad’s crap. Said dad (Ian McShane) has trained Hellboy from childhood to be an evilkilling machine, but coming to grips with his demon side and why he would fight monsters when he kind of is one himself has really called up
a lot of existential dread for the lad; he drinks. But then an immortal witch (Milla Jovovich) imprisoned by King Arthur some 1,500 years back returns for … normal witch reasons, and Hellboy has to stop her, natch, but he also has to feel his feelings and learn about blah blah blah blah blah; he kills. We’ll give points to director Neil Marshall (2005’s The Descent) for his decidedly more violent and “adult” take on the franchise, ’cause when the bullets fly and the monsters come out to slay, Hellboy coalesces into a halfway decent action movie with over-the-top gore and some legitimately excellent monster design and world-building. When the quieter moments arise, however, like when McShane waxes philosophically during a father/son shaving lesson or when we suffer the little bonding moments that don’t land due to the cast’s fundamental lack of chemistry— or even when needless narrative elements fall apart under the most gentle scrutiny—skepticism kicks in. But then it’s back to the face-shooting, secret occult societies, monster transformations and absurd violence. It could be argued that this one’s for the fans, but even they won’t be able to defend barely there characters like a medium with a long-standing connection to Hellboy (Sasha Lane), a British agent with a supernatural secret of his own (Daniel Dae Kim) or the maybe-dead, maybe-not, but probably-dead Nazi hunter Lobster Johnson (Thomas Haden Church). Then again, do they need to be defended? Because it’s Hellboy’s
show, and he’s bringing all the stone-handed face smashing goodness we showed up for in the first place with a high percentage of success. Oh, and Baba Yaga’s in the mix, too, so … it’s fine. (ADV)

+ INGENUITY, RESILIENCE AND STICKING IT TO THE MAN
- SOMEWHAT CLICHE AND COO-COO
What kind of nun is she? Sister Kate explains it with a punchy motto: “I’m a self-declared, self-empowered, anarchistactivist nun.” While antagonists call her name, invented religious order and clothing of choice “a costume,” the woman at the heart of Breaking Habits doesn’t care. The documentary follows the scrappy cannabis entrepreneur and her small band of cohorts who formed Sisters of the Valley in Merced County, California, in the state’s impoverished Central Valley, just before no-holds-barred legalization became the law there. Wearing the habit was a joke at first, then an outward symbol of what she says has become her sacred mission. In a fitting release in Santa Fe the week of the 4/20 cannabis holiday, filmmaker Robert Ryan focuses on the trajectory that took Kate from CEO to homeless to CBD star. It’s no Sister Act for weed, however. The rough edges are open

Hellboy is from hell, which you can tell both by his name and also his horns. for inspection—including shootouts, suicide discussions, familial treachery and more. We’re not gonna lie, some of what happens here is cheesy: “Bless these hands that touch the oil. Bless these hands for they must toil,” in a prayer offered before a cooking session; smudge sticks liberally burned at every turn; and music/production montages that seem better placed on weeknight TV. Kate appears undeterred by a county sheriff named Vern Warnke who’s the picture of a Western hard-ass with soundbites such as, “Don’t think for a minute that habit is going to slow me down in prosecution.” Ryan’s crews follow deputies who hack away at the county’s grow sites and carry as much as 2 tons a week to the landfill—plus filmmakers show the love and care, and risk and consequence of Kate’s crops and production of oils and other products she sends in the mail or hand-delivers to locals. All the while, she’s fighting to get sanctioned for the business. Spoiler alert: Business is booming. (Julie Ann Grimm)
reel us in. Amy Seimetz feels pointless as the mother with a dark secret from the past, though the reveal of her secret is so unceremonious and facile that, at best, it’s hard to care and, at worst, it sort of feels like she deserves to be a bundle of nerves and bad acting. Young Jeté Laurence (The Snowman) surprises as the daughter, however, with a charming performance as the living version of her character and a downright chilling turn as the recently deceased. She’s easily the best part of the movie, and it’s got to feel horrible for seasoned (or at least longtime) actors to struggle to keep up with a 10-year-old. Maybe she just had the better dialogue? It doesn’t really matter, though, because Pet Sematary will make its money off a combination of nostalgia, the success of the other recent King remake, It, and the societal agreement we’ve all made that horror movies don’t really have to be well-made—we’ll probably go see them anyway.

- NOT A LOT HAPPENS; MOM SUCKS
It’s been 30 years since Stephen King’s Pet Sematary originally came to the big screen, and the time in-between doesn’t seem to have helped today’s modern filmmakers improve upon it in any way—the new remake is really just OK, and we can’t give it much more credit than that. If you haven’t seen the original, Pet Sematary follows a super-bummed father who finds out that the woods behind his family’s new home in wherever-the-heck, Maine, can raise the dead. Good news for him, we guess, because his cat just died. Whatever it is he brings back, though, it’s certainly not the feline he knew and loved, and that goes double when he tries the same thing with his dead kid (sorry for the spoilers, but seriously, it’s been 30 years, so if you didn’t already know, it’s kind of on you). Dead cat or dead daughter, this dude just can’t win. Cue creepy kid’s drawings, “She’s not the same, dammit!” lines and brief glimpses into grief-propelled insanity. Jason Clarke as Louis, the aforementioned grieving dad, brings a serviceable performance to life, so to speak, phasing between over-thetop sadness and somewhat capable emotion. He just never quite gets to a place where we aren’t aware we’re watching a movie. John Lithgow is somewhere in there, too, but it’s hard to tell if his role as zombie catalyst is done poorly or he’s simply not given enough screen time to

TILT was brought in as a stray to the Española Shelter with a severe case of ear mites and ticks in both ears. Since there was no evidence of trauma, the shelter vet believes her slight head tilt is a result of severe tick and ear mite infections. TILT is a sweet and loving kitty who is in urgent need of an indoor home with no other cats, an FELV+ cat, or a healthy adult cat who has been vaccinated against the virus. AGE: born approx. 11/1/18.

SANDI was brought to one of our vets with a broken leg. Her owner could not afford to pay for the surgery, so they surrendered her to F&F who paid her medical costs. SANDI is a darling young cat that is very outgoing and social. Her recovery is nearly complete and she will be ready for her new home soon. We know SANDI is playful and would probably enjoy being adopted into a home with another young cat. AGE: born approx. 2/5/18.

Week of May 1st
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies,” wrote Henry David Thoreau. “How slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Your first assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to devote yourself to quenching the hunger and thirst of your soul with the same relentless passion that you normally spend on giving your body the food and drink it craves. This could be challenging. You may be less knowledgeable about what your soul thrives on than what your body loves. So your second assignment is to do extensive research to determine what your soul needs to thrive.
sions. Congrats! You’re empowered to understand yourself with a tender objectivity that could at least partially heal lingering wounds. See yourself truly!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The country of Poland awards medals to couples that have stayed married for 50 years. It also gives out medals to members of the armed forces who have served for at least thirty years. But the marriage medal is of higher rank, and is more prestigious. In that spirit, I’d love for you to get a shiny badge or prize to acknowledge your devoted commitment to a sacred task—whether that commitment is to an intimate alliance, a noble quest, or a TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I invite you to explore the promise to yourself. It’s time to reward yourself for how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve given. frontiers of what’s possible for you to experience and accomplish. One exercise that might help: visualize SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Sylvia specific future adventures that excite you. Examples? Plath wrote, “I admit I desire, / Occasionally, some Picture yourself parasailing over the Mediterranean backtalk / From the mute sky.” You’ll be wise to borSea near Barcelona, or working to help endangered sea row the spirit of that mischievous declaration.

The more specific your fantasies, the better. Your from every other source that might provide you with homework is to generate at least five of these visions. interesting feedback. I invite you to regard the whole world as your mirror, your counselor, your informant. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “We must choose between the pain of having to transcend oppressive circumstances, or the pain of perpetual unfulfillment within those oppressive circumstances,” writes mental health strategist Paul John Moscatello. We must opt for “the pain of growth or the pain of decay,” he continues. We must either “embrace the tribulations of realizing our potential, or consent to the slow suicide in complacency.” That’s a bit melodramatic, in my opinion. Most of us do both; we may be successful for a while in transcending oppressive circumstances, but then temporarily lapse back into the pain of unfulfillment. However, there are times when it makes sense to think melodramatically. And I believe now is one of those times for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will set in motion plans to transcend at least 30 percent of your oppressive circumstances.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In January 1493, the notorious pirate and kidnapper Christopher Columbus was sailing his ship near the land we now call the Dominican Republic. He spotted three creatures he assumed were mermaids. Later he wrote in his log that they were “not half as beautiful as they are painted [by artists].” We know now that the “mermaids” were actually manatees, aquatic mammals with flippers and paddle-shaped tails. They are in fact quite beautiful in their own way, and would only be judged as homely by a person comparing them to mythical enchantresses. I trust you won’t make a similar mistake, Sagittarius. Evaluate everything and everyone on their own merits, without comparing them to something they’re not.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ”I want what we all want,” writes novelist Jonathan Lethem. “To move cerCANCER (June 21-July 22): You Cancerians can bene- tain parts of the interior of myself into the exterior fit from always having a fertility symbol somewhere in world, to see if they can be embraced.” Even if you haven’t passionately wanted that lately, Capricorn, I’m your environment: an icon or image that reminds you to continually refresh your relationship with your own guessing you will soon. That’s a good thing, because life will be conspiring with you to accomplish it. Your abundant creativity; an inspiring talisman or toy that keeps you alert to the key role your fecund imagination ability to express yourself in ways that are meaningful to you and interesting to other people will be at a peak. can and should play in nourishing your quest to live a meaningful life; a provocative work of art that spurs AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Using algorithms to anayou to always ask for more help and guidance from the lyze 300 million facts, a British scientist concluded that primal source code that drives you to reinvent yourself. April 11, 1954 was the most boring day in history. A So if you don’t have such a fertility symbol, I invite you Turkish man who would later become a noteworthy to get one. If you do, enhance it with a new accessory. engineer was born that day, and Belgium staged a LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my horoscopes, I often speak to you about your personal struggle for liberation and your efforts to express your soul’s code with ever-more ingenuity and completeness. It’s less common that I address your sacred obligation to give back to life for all that life has given to you. I only infrequently discuss how you might engage in activities to help your community or work for the benefit of those less fortunate than you. But now is one of those times when I feel moved to speak of these matters. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial to perform specific work in behalf of a greater good. Why crucial? Because your personal well-being in the immediate future depends in part on your efforts to intensify your practical compassion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “We are whiplashed between an arrogant overestimation of ourselves and a servile underestimation of ourselves,” writes educator Parker Palmer. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that you are in prime position to escape from the whiplash. Cosmic forces are conspiring with your eternal soul to coalesce a well-balanced vision of your true value that’s free of both vain misapprehensions and self-deprecating delu-

national election. But that’s all. With this non-eventful day as your inspiration, I encourage you to have fun reminiscing about the most boring times in your own past. I think you need a prolonged respite from the stimulating frenzy of your daily rhythm. It’s time to rest and relax in the sweet luxury of nothingness and emptiness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Blue Room is a famous Picasso painting from 1901. Saturated with blue hues, it depicts a naked woman taking a bath. More than a century after its creation, scientists used X-rays to discover that there was an earlier painting beneath The Blue Room and obscured by it. It shows a man leaning his head against his right hand. Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield says that there are some people who are “like a painting hidden beneath another painting.” More of you Pisceans fit that description than any other sign of the zodiac. You may even be like a painting beneath a painting beneath a painting—to a depth of five or more paintings. Is that a problem? Not necessarily. But it is important to be fully aware of the existence of all the layers. Now is a good time to have a check-in.
