ucker Troupe met his high school sweetheart, a foreign exchange student from Germany, while attending Hellgate High School. After graduating last year, he quickly made his way to Germany to visit and work. For the past 9 months, he has explored Germany and the neighboring countries while learning to speak fluent German. Troupe is back in Missoula for a few months and plans to return to Germany for another year, before he and his girlfriend move back to the states together. While at home in Missoula, Troupe frequents Mobash Skatepark, where he and his friends hone their skills on BMX bicycles.

“I’m out here every day trying to have as much fun as I can with my friends. It’s all about getting out with your friends and getting away from everything and just taking a moment to appreciate life,” Troupe said. “If you’re wondering where my helmet is - it’s in the mail, thanks to my grandma. Wear your helmets kids. It’s not safe when you don’t.” Tyler Wilson is a Missoula-based photographer whose work is often featured in Corridor.

t’s June, guys. And the weather hasn’t been too shabby around here. That’s got us thinking about cold drinks. The best kind of drink during the Montana summertime. That led us to make a stop at the Dram Shop, a new place in Missoula that is serving up a unique set of cold drinks. Long story short: The Dram Shop is a good idea. It’s got a ton of micro brews on tap, from around the state and the country. All in one place. Better yet, though, they’re set up to fill growlers full of wine. Yep. Wine on tap. Dillon Kato has the full story on page 22. But where should you go and what should you do in between/while enjoying those cold bevs? Well, how about the Summer MADE Fair in Caras Park? Or the Mission Mountain Rodeo? Or see Willie Nelson and Alison Krauss take over the Osprey baseball stadium? We’ve got the info about all those inside this issue. Don’t forget that Out to Lunch and Downtown ToNight start this month.

There’s almost too much to do. Also make sure to check out our new summer feature, Road Trip, where we’ll suggest you hop in the car and go experience some awesome events happening around the state. The first feature is the Arlee Celebration powwow, which really is more than an event. It’s an important cultural institution that has been taking place in Arlee for at least 117 years. This year it runs from July 1-5. One last thing: We love featuring local artists in Corridor, so much so that we do it every month (see the last page of this issue or any issue in the past year.) That said, if you know any artists interested in being featured on our Denouement page, tell them to email me at editor@corridormag.com.

The 2015 Summer MADE Fair will take place in Caras Park June 28. Photos By Carol Lynn Lapotka

ore than 175 artists applied to have their wares featured at the 2015 Summer MADE Fair. Only the best of the best will be in Caras Park on Sunday, June 28, for the “all-day alternative market” that features handmade crafts from regional artists. The seventh annual outdoor fair will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Entry is free. MADE has expanded in both size and scope for 2015, featuring handmade and artisan products from regional artists as well as family- and hipster-friendly activities from local nonprofits, according to a press release about the event. More than 100 artists’ work will be featured under the Caras Park pavilion. Artists were chosen through a juried process. “The MADE Fair presents a wonderful opportunity to purchase local crafts and art for the holiday season, but it’s also so much more than that,” fair co-founder Carol Lynn Lapotka said. “It’s a day of fun and a place for families and people of all ages. It’s a chance to shop, run into friends, and support local artists and organizations. We hope that in its seventh year it has become a summer tradition for

many Montana families.” Almost 25 percent of the vendors are new this year. Shoppers will see stylish handmade clothing, handcrafted jewelry, metal recycled sculptures, unique illustrations on wood, colorful paintings, to-die-for hand bags, skirts made from recycled T-shirts, screen-printed T-shirts, ceramics, reworked vintage jewelry, and that special one-of-a-kind something that you (or your mom, sister, or friend) can’t live without, the release said. The fair will also feature more food and treats for purchase. As in past years, the MADE Fair will feature a nonprofit information and activity center, a MADE Fair merchandise booth, and a quiet, comfortable baby feeding zone. Participating nonprofits include Home Resource, Getting Primitive, PEO, Glacier Lake School and the Clay Studio of Missoula.

“Without Military Honors, Burial Detail at Camp O’Donnell,” by Benjamin C. Steele. Image courtesy of MMAC

Corridor is featuring pieces of art each month from the Montana Museum of Art and Culture’s permanent collection in recognition of MMAC’s 120th anniversary. Established in 1895, the museum’s Permanent Collection encompasses an astounding 11,000 pieces, from Picasso to Warhol to Dali.

he Montana Museum of Art and Culture currently has on display an exhibit by an artist who museum Director Barbara Koostra describes as “a miraculous human being and an American hero.” This artist is Benjamin Steele, a 98 year old veteran who survived the atrocities of a World War II Prisoner of War camp and lived to chronicle his experiences through drawings and paintings. To quote the artist himself, “Art saved my life.” MMAC’s exhibit “Human Condition: The Art of Ben Steele” runs through Sept. 12. It opens with a reception on June 4, from 5-7 p.m. at the UM PARTV Center Lobby and will include a color guard presentation honoring military veterans and a reading of the Congressional Record honoring the artist. One piece, “Without Military Honors, Burial Detail at Camp O’Donnell” by Benjamin Steele is part of MMAC’s permanent collection and can be viewed at the Meloy Galleries on the University of Montana Campus. Steele was born in Roundup. He was stationed in the Philippines at the onset of WWII, and participated in the first major land battle on the Bataan Peninsula. Japan launched a devastating attack, and the battle ended with the surrender of more than 76,000 men under American command. The Japanese Army forced the prisoners on the infamous Bataan Death

March, and many of the men who were sick, starving and forced to march under a tropical sun, perished. The surviving prisoners finally reached Camp O’Donnell, where more than 2,000 American soldiers died within the first six weeks of imprisonment. The painting featured here is a scene from this camp. More than 300 prisoners were then selected for a work detail away from camp and Steele was one of the soldiers forced to go. The Tayabas Road detail was even more difficult than the March, and for most, it would end in death. Out of the original 325 soldiers, Steele was one of only 50 who survived the work camp. Steele suffered an ordeal of unparalleled cruelty and degradation, which he in part documented by drawing. The dozens of drawings he created during his captivity were smuggled out of the camps, but unfortunately were lost - with the exception of two - when the ship carrying them was bombed. During his year-long recuperation in a Spokane hospital after the war, Steele recreated the lost drawings, some of which are on display at the MMAC exhibit. Steele created one of the only firsthand visual accounts of this tragic experience and the 41 months he endured of starvation, dehydration, hard labor, torture and Japanese “hell ships,” while he was crippled by dysentery, pneumonia, malaria, blood poisoning and beri beri. “These aren’t ‘easy’ pieces of art but they’re incredibly moving, and are meant to teach the lessons of war and especially peace,” Koostra said. “This collection saved his life. And hopefully by reminding people of man’s inhumanity to man it will save others’ lives if we can avoid warring with each other as human beings.”

TRIP

Hit the road for this beautiful celebration

june 2015

herever you are along the Western Montana corridor this summer, you don’t have to go far to find our one-of-a-kind Road Trip for June. That’s a good thing, because the Arlee Celebration is something everyone should

experience. The Celebration powwow, including several days of traditional dancing and a host of other events, celebrates its 117th anniversary this year. The Arlee Celebration runs July 1-5 in Arlee. The powwow grounds are located just east of Arlee, roughly 20 miles north of Missoula on Highway 93. Signs from the road will help guide you in. Last summer, up to 400 dancers participated in the West’s oldest continuous powwow. It’s a powwow rooted in deep tradition and founded when Indian dances were illegal under Bureau of Indian Affairs rules. However, according to the Arlee Celebration website, the BIA and Indian police didn’t find it illegal to celebrate the Fourth of July. Historical records have provided evidence that the first attempt to hold a Fourth of July Powwow was as early as 1891, the site says. “As we come into another year we as Native People always look forward to our ceremonial and traditional gatherings. And, the celebration is just one part of that important cycles of our lives,” said Johnny Arlee on the Celebration’s website. “Our ancestors paved this cultural path for us and we continue paving this path for our future, leaving our faith and trust in the Great Spirit to guide us.” Now in its 117th year, the Arlee Celebration is free for attendees, but donations are accepted. The first day of the 2015 event, or “Camp Day,” will include a memorial at 7 p.m. and a material stickgame. On Thursday, July 2, dancing competitions will begin at 1:30 p.m. and continue until 8 p.m., when the Evening Ride Parade begins. On Friday, a Competition Grand Entry will be held at 7 p.m. Dancing will continue Saturday, July 4, beginning at 2 p.m. Grand Entry will be at 7 p.m.

Caras Park summer outings Out to Lunch and Downtown ToNight begin the first week in June. Photo by Tyler Wilson

june 2015

ut to Lunch is once again bringing the perfect Hump Day midday break to Caras Park, when “Missoula’s favorite summer concert series” opens its 2015 season on June 3. Produced by the Missoula Downtown Association, Out to Lunch is celebrating its 30th season, while the Thursday night equivalent, Downtown ToNight, starts its 15th year on June 4. Out to Lunch, held Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., features 19 local food vendors, live music, free children’s activities, and the free trolley shuttle service to Caras Park from anywhere along Higgins Avenue. In honor of its 30th year, Out to Lunch will feature a special drawing each month for a prize worth $500 or more. Downtown ToNight runs every Thursday from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and includes live music, a beer and wine garden, 19 local food vendors, children’s activities and free parking throughout downtown. Downtown ToNight added two additional weeks in honor of its 15th season and will stretch into the first two weeks of September. This year will again highlight several community events. On June 25, Missoula in Motion will present the winners of the 2015 Commuter Challenge honoring those embracing alternative modes of transportation. On July 9, the Missoula Downtown Association will partner with the Missoula Independent to bring the “Best of Missoula” winners to entertain the crowd. Twenty-eight bands were selected from a pool of more than 70 applicants to perform at each event. This year’s lineup features 16 new bands and 11 returning favorites. “The 2015 Summer Series is sure to be exciting as we celebrate 30 years of Out to Lunch and 15 years of Downtown ToNight,” said Heidi Starrett, MDA Board President. “Out to Lunch and Downtown ToNight have become community events that are beyond compare. Both programs add an immeasurable amount of character and vitality to our unique downtown environment. We are so fortunate to have such dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers who bring these events to fruition each year.” These events bring more than 100,000 individuals to downtown Missoula throughout June, July and August.

The Mission Mountain Rodeo will take place June 26-27 in Polson. Photo by Steve Pickel

ride ’em!

t’s that time in Montana once again. Rodeo time. And the Mission Mountain NRA Rodeo is coming to Polson on Friday and Saturday, June 26 -27. Big Circle Rodeo from Circle will be providing the livestock at the annual rodeo event, which is held at the Polson Fairgrounds Arena. Contestants will compete for over $10,000 in prize money in bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, team roping, junior and senior barrel racing, tie down roping, junior and senior breakaway roping and bull riding. Top NRA contestants from Montana, surrounding states and Canada travel the circuit throughout the summer months in hopes of qualifying for the NRA Finals held in Butte in October. The first Mission Mountain Rodeo was held in 1940 at the Polson Rodeo Grounds. That means 2015 marks the 75th anniversary of the rodeo.

Today, the rodeo features many family participants, where dad, mom and kids can all compete. This year, the thrills and spills begin at 6:30 p.m. each night with youth events: mutton bustin’ and mini bull riding. The NRA Rodeo begins at 7:30 p.m. Food and beverage concessions are available, along with a free non-food vendors fair. After Friday night’s performance, the Crawford Brothers Band will perform, featuring great fiddle music, for dancing and listening pleasure. Tickets to the rodeo are $10 for adults; $5 for children 12 and under. Children under 3 are free. For general rodeo information call 883-1100. For vendors fair information call Sharon at 261-2861. - Courtesy of Mission Mountain Rodeo

Students learn the ins and outs of film production during The Roxy Theater’s first Production Intensive Series workshop. Photo by John Withal

ontana’s natural vistas are so beautiful there’s no doubt they deserve to be featured in film, but larger media companies often look elsewhere, in part due to Montana’s lack of an available production workforce. To help correct this problem, the Montana Film Academy at The Roxy Theater has partnered with the Montana Film Office to create its Production Intensive Series. The series consists of four dynamic weekend workshops running throughout 2015 designed to teach attendees the skills they need to be hirable and successful in film production. The ultimate goal of the series is to create a larger and stronger crew community pool for out-of-state producers to hire from, thereby making Montana a more attractive production destination. The comprehensive program is led by local industry leaders and production mentors, and is working in tandem with the Montana film industry, educational institutions, and online and vocational education programs to improve the future of film production in Montana. It is designed as an introduction to real-world production, allowing students to get comfortable enough with working on film sets to accept real jobs in the field. “Montana needs to prepare its workforce for creating media - we need to be known as media manufacturers,” said Jeri Rafter, Production Intensive Series coordinator and production manager at Warm Springs Productions. “It’s no longer just making films or TV shows, the work is coming from all directions and is driven by web content - our Montana crew base must adapt to this changing

economic landscape.” The second Production Intensive workshop will take place at the Roxy June 27-28 and costs $150. It will again feature a live set experience, a dozen working professionals, and guest speakers from the Montana Film Office and Department of Labor. Visit montanafilmacademy.com to enroll or get more information. In the first session held in May, attendees worked on film-set lingo, etiquette and safety. Professional mentors were present to answer questions and to speak directly and honestly about what it takes to make it in the entertainment industry. For hands-on production experience, students were given cameras and production tools and were asked to deconstruct a scene from an original script by acclaimed novelist Sherman Alexie. Using workshop knowledge gained during the first two days, the students had to decide how to stage and shoot the final product. “The Production Intensive was a huge success. We were able to get the students up and on their feet and by Day 2 they literally had their hands on a Black Magic camera,” Rafter said. Students are happy with the results as well. “I’ve been in school for two and a half years, but I haven’t done really basic things like run a slate until today, and this is the first time I’ve been really comfortable being able to learn other things on set,” said Sean Rudolf, a PI series student and production assistant.

New growler filling station covering unique microbrewing niche By dillon kato photos by tyler wilson

sk Zach Millar for his opinion on what will be key drivers for the next wave of the craft beer movement and you’ll get a simple answer. “People want variety,” Millar said. With that in mind, Millar, along with his wife Sarah, opened a growler fill station and taproom called The Dram Shop in late March on East Front Street, between The Trail Head and The Pearl Cafe restaurant in downtown Missoula. The growler fill station model, he said, has become very popular on the West Coast, and he thinks it will prove to be a success here as well. “There’s a new group of more sophisticated beer drinkers and they are starting to be choosey about what they want to drink, just like wine drinkers,” Millar said. The Dram Shop’s focus, Millar said, is on providing a variety of beers from microbreweries across the state and country that customers might not be able to find other places, and be the spot where people fill up their growlers when they find a new favorite. “We’re probably, I think, the only other place to get Blackfoot IPA growler fills apart from the brewery in Helena, and that’s a popular beer here in Missoula,” Millar said. With more than 30 beers on tap, the number of choices can be a little daunting, but Millar said the staff is always ready to talk with patrons about the types of beer they like and make a suggestion of what to try next, with a simple recommendation or even a small sample. “We always will make it so they’re not flying blind,” he said. In May, Millar said someone came in and filled 10 growlers at once, one of the biggest orders since he opened. “They were having a party for Memorial Day. So instead of getting a keg of one beer, their family and friends can get to try 10 different beers,” he said. In addition to its beer offerings, The Dram Shop sells draught wine, cider, soda and nonalcoholic brews. Millar said he’s received a lot of positive feedback since he opened from people thanking him for providing some variety. “There are a lot of people who are saying, ‘I don’t drink beer, but I hang out with a lot of people who do.’ They can come in here and find something to try,” he said. Prior to owning The Dram Shop, Millar worked at Missoula’s Big Sky Brewing Co. for more than 11 years as its distribution manager. For his new venture, he said distributors let him know what beers they have available, and send samples to help him select which breweries he wants to stock and sell. Rather than adding more tap heads, Millar said his plan is to rotate new beers in over time. “I get more of their specialty stuff, even if there’s only a limited amount there,” he said.

n the evening, The Dram Shop also offers food from Market on Front and The Pearl Cafe. “They can take a look at menus on the bar, then call and order and they make the food fresh and deliver it to the shop,” Millar said. Both restaurants have a special set of food just for the taproom’s customers. Market on Front’s is a selection of flatbreads, while the Pearl’s is a “pub grub” menu including dishes like beef chimichurri or fried oysters. Millar said they also welcome people bringing their own food to the taproom, and kids and families are always welcome. Before he started the work to open The Dram Shop, Millar said he conducted a lot of market research to find out what market was being underserved in the area, and if Missoula could support another place to go for microbrew beer. Millar, who graduated from the University of Montana in the late 1990s, also sought the assistance of the school’s new Blackstone LaunchPad, which helps entrepreneurs develop their businesses, with the assistance coming free of charge for students and graduates. “It was really nuts and bolts stuff. They helped guide me through all of the steps, all of the things that the people doing the financing wanted to see,” Millar said. Because of differences in Montana law, The Dram Shop is slightly different than other growler fill stations he’s been too. For example, instead of being able to sell bottled beer in publically available coolers, it can only be sold out of a refrigerated room behind the bar. This summer, Millar is planning on putting in outdoor seating, and eventually installing large doors in the front wall of the shop that can be opened during business hours. The Dram Shop is open Tuesday through Thursday and on Sunday from noon to 9 p.m., Friday from noon to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information about The Dram Shop, including a list of the beers currently on tap, visit www.dramshopmt.com.

The 2015 Colony, a creative writing immersion workshop, will focus on conflict. Photo courtesy of Montana Repertory Theatre

onflict will be at the core of the 20th annual Colony, a creative writing immersion event for stage and screen writers held at the University of Montana. The Colony 20 runs June 25-July 1, and is produced by the Montana Repertory Theatre. This year, participants will focus on creating conflict in their works. When creating structure for a scene, one of the first questions a playwright must ask is, “What does my character want?” Too often, we start with a clever setup, backstory, or setting - or we focus on how the character feels - without asking this crucial question: What does my character want and what is s/he going to do to get it? The Colony 20 will explore the basic types of conflict: domestic (family, romance), economic (getting a bigger piece of the pie) and societal (battling against accepted morality/normality). Participants will engage in a variety of exercises during the course of the fourday intensive, with an overall focus on creating and developing characters.

Guest artists include playwrights Andy Bragen, Francine Volpe and Elizabeth Dement. Dement will receive the Agnes Ranjo Capps Scholarship. She is a playwright, actor and producer, and has been an active member of the Los Angeles theatre community for many years. Workshops include “Back to Basics,” “The Third Event,” “Three Levels of Conflict” and “Investigate and Discuss.” Staged readings will take place June 25-27 and June 29-July 1 at 8 p.m. Actors from Missoula, New York and Los Angeles will help bring new works by the guest artists to life; visiting directors will oversee the readings. It costs $150 for all workshops, readings and vents. A workshop-only button costs $75 and a staged reading-only button costs $75. Individual tickets for each event cost $15. For more information, or to register for the Colony 20 contact producer Salina Chatlain at 243-6809 or salina.chatlain@umontana.edu.

powerhouse pair will put on a show in Missoula this summer, during a concert that brings together two music greats. Both Alison Krauss and Willie Nelson have for years put a refreshing, yet true-to-the-core twists the multiple music genres. They’ll play show featuring Jerry Douglas, Wednesday, June 17, at Ogren Park, Allegiance Field. Alison Krauss will bring her band, Union Station. Tickets are available at at the MSO Hub box office, by phone at 543-3300, and online at ticketmaster.com. Known as the “bluegrass virtuoso,” Krauss has for years bridged the gap between roots music and country, rock and pop. Since signing with Rounder records at the age of 14, Krauss has sold over 12 million albums and won 27 Grammy Awards, the most for any female and the second most of any recording artist in Grammy history. The album “Paper Airplane” is the latest masterpiece in Krauss’ illustrious career. Recorded in partnership with her remarkably skillful and renowned band, Union Station, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass and Folk Album Charts upon its release. The players – Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Dan Tyminski (Guitar,

mandolin, lead vocal), Ron Block (Banjo, guitar) and Barry Bales (Bass, vocals) with Krauss on lead vocal and fiddle – are five distinct personalities who come together to form a something truly unique as a band. Each bandmate has their own bustling career but when these singular musicians come together, they’re an airtight unit devoted to the process of making music together. Indeed, their connection is so close and deep that they’ve come to think of each other as family. A seven-time Grammy Award winner, Nelson has received numerous accolades including American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards and others. He is a co-founder of Farm Aid, an annual series of fundraising events which began as an all-star benefit concert in 1985 to raise money for American family farmers. He continues to lobby against horse slaughter and produces his own blend of biodiesel fuel. An old-school road-dog troubadour with new school wheels, Willie plays concerts year-round, tirelessly touring on Honeysuckle Rose III (he rode his first two buses into the ground), taking his music and fans to places that are always worth the ride. - Courtesy of CMoore Live

corridor music review

uban Nielson, the Portland, Ore.-based, New Zealand-born musician behind psych-pop outfit Unknown Mortal Orchestra, found his marriage reimagined when another woman joined their union - a dilemma quite different from the deep, road-induced loneliness he sang about on the band’s last effort, “II.” “Multi-Love,” UMO’s third album, explores that new relationship in all its uncharted and emotionally overwhelming territory. “It’s not that this song is about her/All songs are about her,” Nielson sings on the opening title track (of his wife or their lover, it’s not totally clear). His slippery falsetto makes the song the album’s thesis statement with, “Multi-love’s got me on my knee/We were one and then become three.”

e dives into the newfound neuroses that new arrangement brings on “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone” when he whines, “I’m kinda busy, could you call back again?/I’m sure you’ll come back/’Til then I/Can’t keep checking my phone.” Calm reassurances arrive on “Extreme Wealth and Casual Cruelty” with, “If we were just strangers then we would fall in love again.” When Nielson doesn’t talk about highs and lows of “Multi-Love,” he sometimes indulges in druggy half-jokes like, “Jesus doesn’t know my name/He charge me 50 bucks a gram” on the sing-along “Like Acid Rain.” On closer “Puzzles,” Nielson changes up the feel of the album by going to bigger issues, wondering, “America/Open up your door/Is it right to always fight against ‘the other?’” before failing to offer solutions with “I don’t want to solve your puzzles anymore.” “Multi-Love” trades much of the lo-fi ramshackle charm of his early releases to shiny synths and professional-grade recordings. Nielson, who self-recorded and produced the album, also keeps it in the family: His brother and former Mint Chicks-bandmate Kody makes guest appearances playing synths and drums, while his father provides horns on “Necessary Evil,” the album’s strongest and most understatedly soulful offering. Love between two people is tricky enough. While Nielson and his band occasionally indulge in some half-baked ideas both musically (some ’60s derivative psych on “Stage or Screen”) or thematically (“The World is Crowded” has a groaner come-on in, “Did your doctor prescribe me for what ails you, dear”), “Multi-Love” has too many solid songs to ignore. Corridor music reviewer Adam Potts agrees that “Multi-Love” is a meaningful album about love:

Your Yo

hile many would focus on Ruban Nielson’s unconventional love story that inspired “Multi-Love,” I have to take a step back and look at the larger picture, the overarching themes. These are songs by a man in love, and the emotions conveyed in the lyrics - confusion, elation, loneliness, affection, loss - are universal to the human experience of romance. The number of partners is really a moot point here, and even so, I imagine that many people have found themselves in love with more than one person at some point in their lives. While Nielson’s personal life does provide some context, it’s not a prerequisite to appreciate the album he’s crafted. It’s true that Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s traditionally lo-fi sound has been polished, but it is still charmingly drenched in psychedelia; this is hardly a record that has modern production’s sterile sheen on it. There are many tracks here to revel in. “Like Acid Rain” and “Ur Life One Night” possess a certain unconventionally danceable quality to them, and Nielson’s strained, upbeat vocals bring a certain airiness to these tracks that take them to the next level. “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone” continues in this vein, adding a funky bassline to create probably the most soulful song about electronic unavailability recorded thus far. While I agree that “Did your doctor prescribe me for what ails you, dear” from “The World is Crowded” is a somewhat cheesy line, it totally makes sense in the context of the song. It’s a bassy little rock ballad that would have been right at home in the 1970s, and within the context of the accompaniment, these lyrics are right at home, creating a song that is more endearing than cheesy. All in all, UMO has created an album that, while not as lo-fi as their previous offerings, is still firmly rooted in the soul and psychadelia of the ’60s and ’70s. And ultimately, Nielson’s personal life aside, this is an album about love. And there’s nothing salacious about that.

SOUNDCLOUD MIX OF THE MONTH

viceroy Summertime All The Time Volume 1

The summer equinox is finally upon us, the days are getting longer, and floating the Blackfoot and Clark Fork rivers is no longer confined to the daydreams of the snowed-in. To this end, Viceroy has assembled a fantastic mix that is equal parts funk, pop, electronic, and 80’s synths. Nicely straddling the line between danceable and chill, it’s a mix that is sure to perfectly compliment any float trip, barbecue, or general summer get-together.

film

entourage By Roger Moore, Tribune News Service

june 2015

“

ntourage” is the uninvited dinner guest who then insists on sticking around long after the party’s over. It’s based on the often amusing insideHollywood HBO series about a rising star who keeps his childhood posse as a bubble, protecting him from the sharks, clingers, wannabes and hangers-on who populate the movie business. The series wrapped in 2011 and no one, near as we can tell, felt that it required further wrapping up. But that’s just what this movie, inspired by producer Mark Wahlberg’s experience of showbiz, does. It wraps up things we thought were tied up with a nice, dull bow. So star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) recovers from his quickie divorce by deciding what he really wants to do is direct and star in a futuristic “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” to be titled “Hyde.” It’ll be a challenge for him, and a big break for loutish failure of an older half-brother, “Johnny Drama” (Kevin Dillon), whom he’ll give a juicy supporting role. But his childhood pal turned personal manager “E” (Eric), played by Kevin Connolly, is too distracted to ensure this package comes off, as his ex-girlfriend Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is pregnant. And being something of an L.A. power now, E is a magnet for the hot women he and his mates pursue with a still-sophomoric vigor. It’s up to super agent-with-anger-issues Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) to come out of retirement, take over a studio and green light “Hyde.” If only he can keep the Texas financier (Billy Bob Thornton) who owns a chunk of the picture out of the picture. To say nothing of that Texan’s drawling rube of a skirtchasing - “I know the movie business” son, played with a

sort redneck savant glee by Haley Joel Osment. These two are what finally make the still-twitchy but supposedly mellowed Ari return to rageaholic form. There’ll be no “kowtowing to cow tippers” on his watch, he fumes, even if he knows “what they do to Jews in Texas.” Everything you need to know about the movie is in the newcomers who steal it. Osment and Thornton are a hoot, Connolly, Dillon, Grenier and Jerry Ferrara aren’t. They’re playing older versions of the same shallow hounds they always were. Turtle (Ferrara) was originally just the chubby driver for this crew, has made his own fortune and lost weight, but still drives them around, still endures “weren’t you fat?” jokes from those who deign to remember who he is. Turtle’s attempted courtship of mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey shows us what screen presence and charisma looks like. Rousey has it. Writer-director Doug Ellin may have caught on that the jokes, structure and cast that kept this show on cable simply aren’t enough to fill up the big screen. And as with the series, Ellin peppers the film with funny cameos - cranky Jessica Alba, a raging Kelsey Grammer, storming out of therapy as Ari arrives for his session, Liam Neeson flipping off Ari in traffic, a pleading David Spade, musicians, DJs, athletes and actual moguls. The observations about the business are on the money, but they pretty much exhausted those in the series. Who needs to see another humiliating Johnny Drama audition (with Judy Greer)? Piven was the lone breakout star from the series, and the movie never gets going until he gets his dander up.

PAPERS PLEASE

Finally, after more than 50 years of loyal service defending the island country, the great lizard Godzilla is now an official resident of Japan and has the residency papers to prove it. Awarded by the national tourism board, the recognition accompanies Godzilla’s assignment as the official tourism ambassador of Tokyo. Officials distributed copies of the beast’s certificate to the first 3,000 lucky fans at a promotional event as proof of the designation. (Comicbook.com)

WHERE’D THE HOLES GO

Around

the Weird

Swiss researchers have finally figured out exactly what it is that gives Swiss cheese its distinctive holes, and the answer lies in hay. As holes in Swiss cheese diminished over the past 15 years, scientists began investigating the exact cause, suspecting a particular type of bacteria. It turns out that the cheese gets its distinctive form by microscopically small flecks of hay that can fall into milk-collecting buckets. As sanitation in dairy farming has improved over the past decades, the holes in Swiss cheese are vanishing. (Newser)

FACE THE FUTURE

The surviving victim of a shotgun accident more than 15 years ago finally met the sister of the deceased man whose face he now wears after undergoing a ground-breaking face-transplant operation. The surgery relied on a donor’s face to replace the man’s missing jaws, teeth, tongue, skin and underlying tissue, and took more than 36 hours in surgery plus endless aftercare and monitoring. But the transplant is considered a success, by both the recipient happy for his new chance at a more normal life, and for the family of the donor who can see their loved one live on in someone else. (IFL Science)

INNERSPACE

“An Untethered Miniature Origami Robot That Self-folds, Walks, Swims, and Degrades,” is the title and purpose of a recently presented MIT research paper. The tiny machine works on principles of paper folding, temperature reactions and magnetic field fluctuations in order to self-assemble itself before performing a multitude of tasks, including its final destruction. Researchers hope that such technology could be used in the medical field for safer, more accurate, internal delivery of medications and other miniature tasks. (IEEE Spectrum)
