Maine Literary Awards to be bestowed this week

sierra club celebrates ‘primeval character and influence’

CriMe FiCtion FinaLists From left to right: Massacre Pond by Paul Doiron; Sunrise by Al Lamanda; and Clammed Up by Barbara Ross.

The Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance will give out the Maine Literary Awards in 18 categories this Thursday night at USM’s Glickman Family Library. Close to 125 books were submitted across the genres; both full-time Mainers and seasonal residents are eligible to submit work to the awards. The finalists are evidence of the deep, diverse, and ever-growing pool of literary talent with some ties to our state. Consider the fiction nominees: Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles by Waterville native Ron Currie Jr., a raucous tale that Kirkus called “a postmodern love story” that was “at times both moving and hilarious”; Christina Baker Kline’s New York Times-bestselling Orphan Train, part historical fiction, part contemporary novel, and sure to be on many book club lists this summer; and Sparta by acclaimed author Roxana Robinson, which delves into the difficulties soldiers face upon returning home. (Fun fact: at Kline’s website, christinabakerkline.com, you can read a Q&A between Kline and Robinson, who are both part-time Mainers.) The booming genres of crime fiction and speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, dystopian, horror, post-apocalyptic, supernatural) each have their own categories. In the nonfiction category, a book about a sail-racing team from Deer Isle faces off against an illustrated biography of Bill Moss, innovative fabric artist and designer, and Lincoln Paine’s monumental (784 pages!) The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World. The finalists in the memoir category are World Locked In: Six Weeks in a Coma and Beyond by Mark Hathaway; Linda Greenlaw’s Lifesaving Lessons: Notes from an Accidental Mother, about the swordfish boat captain’s experience adopting a teenage daughter; and Why We Make Things and Why It Matters by woodworker Peter Korn, the founder of the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport. The young adult finalists are an interesting collection: The Water Castle, by Megan Frazer Blakemore, is a middle grade fantasy set in fictional Crystal Spring, Maine; A Girl Called Trouble is Katie Quirk’s middle grade novel set in Tanzania, East Africa; and Maria Padian’s Out of Nowhere, about cultural and racial tensions in a Maine town, was described by Booklist as “a timely and thought-provoking examination of a continuing dynamic in American communities.” Nearly 70 students submitted work in the MWPA’s youth categories; the winners in youth fiction, nonfiction, and poetry categories will be published in next week’s Phoenix.

Signed into law 50 years ago, after 60 drafts and eight years of work, the Wilderness Act of 1964 created a legal definition of wilderness in the United States and designated an initial 9.1 million acres as wilderness areas. Today, the Wilderness System comprises 106 million acres of protected forestland, waterways, and unspoiled terrain. In Maine, the CaribouSpeckled Mountain Wilderness, the Moosehorn Wilderness, and the Allagash River are all part of the national system. “A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain,” the act reads. “An area of wilderness is further defined to mean in this Act an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which (1) generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnoticeable; (2) has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation; (3) has at least five thousand acres of land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition; and (4) may also contain ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or historical value.”

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark conservation bill, the Sierra Club’s Maine chapter is organizing a series of wilderness events, starting this weekend and stretching into the fall. F On Saturday, May 31, enjoy a spring nature walk around Sears Island, known as the “jewel of Penobscot Bay,” led by Sierra Club outings guides. F June 13-15, channel your outdoor experiences into creative output at the ‘Voices for the Wilderness Writing Nature Retreat’ on Hurricane Island, off the coast of Rockland. With workshop sessions led by Annie Finch, Ruth Herman, and Cait Johnson. F A nature film series will take place over the course of the summer in Bar Harbor and North Haven, with screenings of Forever Wild: Celebrating America’s Wilderness (with narration by Robert Redford and prose by Terry Tempest Williams); A Fierce Green Fire, billed as “the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement — grassroots and global activism spanning 50 years from conservation to climate change;” and others. F In addition to a Thoreau Wabanaki Celebration, a yoga retreat, and another writing workshop, all scheduled for later in the summer, the Sierra Club is also sponsoring “Family Picnics in the Park” in Range Pond State Park and Reid State Park in July; Ferry Beach State Park in August; and Bradbury Mountain State Park in September.

Press Releases

politics + other Mistakes I’m not changing If you like gridlock in Congress, you’re going to love Maine’s June primary ballot. Whether you live in the 1st or 2nd congressional districts, whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, you’ll have the opportunity to vote for somebody who’s promising to go to Washington and make sure absolutely nothing happens. Of course, none of these candidates is so stupid as to openly pledge to accomplish that feat. Instead, they use code words to convey their intent. For instance, Republican 1st District hopeful Isaac Misiuk, currently leading in the polls for politician with the most mispronounced name, is particularly adept at sounding reasonable while remaining just the opposite. At the GOP state convention, Misiuk (rhymes with … uh … never mind) said that when it came to health-care legislation, he’d “work across party lines.” By which he meant he’d be happy to join forces with any Democrat who wanted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and “encourage competition in the marketplace.” In other words, anybody who was willing to capitulate and accept the Republican position. Misiuk also prefers shutting down the government to raising the debt ceiling, claims Democrats oppose legislation to encourage economic development because they want to keep weak job creation as a campaign issue, and that the government under President Obama has become a “tyrantical (sic) entity.” Plenty of room for compromise there. His opponent in the fall election, US Representative Chellie Pingree, is ready to match him logjam for logjam. In her three terms in Congress, Pingree has earned a reputation as a “rank-and-file Democrat,” according to the website govtrack.

_BY D AV ID KIS h

us. Ballotpedia.org lists her as “one of the most reliable Democratic votes” in the House. Pingree opposes the Keystone pipeline, supports the health-care law and, according to her website, favors “[c]racking down on big banks and credit card companies.” In an op-ed in the Bangor Daily News last year, she said, “[T]here should be room for debate and compromise” on budgetary matters, but went on to say the GOP House majority could not be described as either “reasonable or bipartisan.” Pingree, having no fear of losing her bid for a fourth term, has anchored her partisan platform in concrete so thick it couldn’t be compromised by a pile driver. In the 2nd District, it doesn’t take a degree in mediation to sort out the accommodating from the obstinate in either party’s primary. Troy Jackson, a Democratic state senator from Allagash, hasn’t been shy about criticizing his opponent, state senator Emily Cain of Orono, for being willing to negotiate, even with such stubborn opponents as GOP governor Paul LePage. “She’s interested in going into a room and coming out with a deal no matter what happens,” Jackson told the Bangor Daily. Jackson claims he’d never give ground on his core beliefs. Which don’t seem to include abortion or same-sex marriage, since he’s been doing some clumsy backtracking on his long-term opposition to both, ever since he discovered that his record of voting against them doesn’t play well among Dem voters. He’s been much firmer in supporting labor unions, even going so far as to cast votes that some environmental groups consider “dirty,” if they might produce jobs for loggers, miners or papermakers. Jackson may be squishy on social issues, but he appears ready to go to

the mat on most other stuff, quietly embracing the Capitol Hill tradition of not getting anything done. On his website, Republican Bruce Poliquin, a former state treasurer and unsuccessful candidate for just about everything, says career politicians in Washington “bicker to score political points while our serious problems grow worse.” To correct that, Poliquin promises to … bicker. He said he won’t compromise on his opposition to background checks on all gun buyers (although, he used to favor them), his efforts to outlaw abortion, his disdain for almost all federal spending, and his stand against any limits on campaign contributions. He’s the kind of hardcore believer who won’t be swayed by facts, but might be by polling. In a television ad, Poliquin accused his opponent, former state senate president Kevin Raye, of favoring the federal stimulus bill (he didn’t), of backing Obamacare (nope), and of supporting legislation to make consumers aware of Maine’s product warranty law (yeah, he’s guilty). He also noted that Raye “didn’t sell his Virginia home before running for Congress.” As the Portland Press Herald pointed out, that was back in 2001, the first time Raye ran for the 2nd District seat, shortly after he resigned as then-US Senator Olympia Snowe’s chief of staff. Raye’s legal residence remained in Maine the entire time. Which is more than Poliquin, a former Wall Street investment broker, can claim. He didn’t even live in the 2nd District until a few months ago, well after he’d announced his candidacy. At least he was able to compromise on that. ^

hashtag activism: #yesallwomen last week, a gunman killed seven people (including himself) and injured seven more in Santa Barbara, california, leaving behind a disturbing series of youtube videos as well as a 140-page online manifesto that explained his violent actions. as conor Friedersdorf wrote at the Atlantic, “the perpetrator’s name and the contents of his rant are public if you’re interested. i won’t link or excerpt them here in hopes that my lonely approach is one day the norm—that wouldbe murderers will no longer expect a killing spree to help their manifesto go viral.” that’s a lofty goal, and one few news outlets seem interested in working toward. But something else went viral in the wake of the mass murder, which the suspect described in videos and in writing as “retribution” for a lifetime of rejection by women. the #yesallWomen hashtag, originated by a woman of color on twitter who stepped back into the shadows once the meme took on a life of its own, is a response to the “not all Men” defense, employed by males who wish to point out that not all men engage in sexism, misogyny, rape culture, and attacks on women’s rights. #yesallWomen gives voice to the idea what while not all men are entitled perpetrators of patriarchal oppression, yes, all women have experienced some form of gender-based discrimination and/or sexual violence. here are just one example, out of of more than one million: “Because every single woman i know has a story about a man feeling entitled to access to her body. every. Single. one. #yesallWomen” _@emilyhughes When the hashtag started showing up in my twitter feed over the weekend, i was initially skeptical. My reaction was akin to the one i’d had in response to #BringBackourGirls (a reference to the 200 nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko haram) — what good could this do? What was this other than armchair activism? how can a hashtag help? But the level of participation, the sheer volume of women (and some men) weighing in, changed my mind. the #yesallWomen tweets are a sobering read, addressing everything from rape and domestic assault to everyday harassment and bias. While many of them relate to physical safety or women’s lack thereof, the platform is also being used to call attention to the lack of female representation in politics and business or the ways in which women are represented in the media. (Some have wondered if the discussion is too narrowly focused on the experiences of white women over those of women of color and trans women.) Viewed in the context of Friday’s tragedy, the tweets represent a backlash against the blatant misogyny espoused by the alleged killer; beyond that, the hashtag is both enlightening and empowering, a grassroots public awareness campaign confronting societal narratives around female repression and vulnerability. the content of the tweets is not new (to anyone who’s been paying attention), but the overwhelming number of them makes them impossible to ignore. the dam was removed; now, the truth is flooding into people’s twitter feeds. according to hashtags.org, #yesallWomen (which didn’t exist before Saturday, May 24) had been tweeted 1.2 million times by May 26. What began as anger about one terrible act of aggression clearly rooted in male misogyny has bloomed into much more — a united front, a mass unveiling, a collective social media scream of frustration, fear, reclamation, and relief. that this hashtag snowballed as quickly as it did is evidence of how badly these sentiments needed to be released. #yesallWomen transcends the killings in california, shining a spotlight on the fucked-up status quo that let it happen in the first place. as Ben Scott wrote on Slate in reference to #BringBackourGirls, “hashtag activism is a gateway between politics and popular culture, a platform to educate the ignorant and draw attention to the operation of power in the world... hashtag activism’s most important function is to divert public attention to new subjects, and in ways that stir conviction.” in the case of #yesallWomen, here’s hoping. ^

point-counterpoint: portland’s parks referendum with a vote just two weeks away, local campaigns ramp up On Tuesday, June 10, Portlanders will cast their ballots in a referendum that would amend the city’s Land Bank ordinance by adding 35 properties to the Land Bank list (in addition to 25 existing properties) and establishing a new category for Land Bank eligibility — “urban open public spaces.” Further, any sale of a Land Bank property would require either a 6-member City Council vote plus voter approval, or an 8-member City Council vote. Two organizations have coalesced in support of and in opposition to the initiative: Protect Portland Parks, which wants citizens to vote Yes on 1, and Forward Portland, which is pushing a No vote. We invited representatives from both campaigns to answer the same six questions; their responses are below. The results of this referendum will impact future development of public space in Portland. Read up, and be sure to vote.

What is the purpose of Question 1?

Protect Portland Parks: Question 1 cre-

ates a more rigorous, more deliberate, and more public process before a public park could be sold. A ‘Yes’ vote would place 60 parks and public spaces throughout Portland into the Land Bank, and require a council vote of 6 or 7 councilors and a citizens’ referendum before the city could sell any of these important public spaces.

Forward Portland: Question 1 masquer-

ades as a “park protection” ordinance, but its true purpose is to retroactively block the city’s plans for a better, safer Congress Square. Question 1 would deprive us of an expanded event center and an improved public space that will help revitalize Congress Square, while creating jobs and new economic activity downtown.

What underlying issues do you believe are at hand in this debate?

PPP: First, stewardship. The City elimi-

nated its Parks Department in 2008 and our parks are now suffering from a lack of amenities, programming, and maintenance. Volunteer groups and non-profits have had to step in. Second, vision. Parks bring life, fun, people, and thus jobs to the City. The City has under-appreciated how important parks are to the social and economic health of Portland. Third, process. When the City negotiates a no-bid sale, behind closed doors, for a fraction of the market value, we have a problem. Fourth, protection. With weak legal protections and the City’s apparent lack of understanding of the vital importance of our parks and open spaces, our parks are now vulnerable.

FP: Question 1 is about Congress Square,

not parks. A ‘Yes’ vote blocks plans to revitalize Congress Square and prevents Portland from moving forward with a better, safer Congress Square. A ‘No’ vote allows for the creation of a better, safer plaza at Congress Square, which includes an event center as an anchor and the removal dangerous “hiding spots” that threaten public safety. Congress Square has been a failed open space for 30 years. The revitalization will bring jobs and significantly more spending at local small businesses.

What do you think the public misunderstands about your campaign or about the referendum in general?

protect portland parks

Forward portland

PPP: The major misconception is that if you are for the sale of Congress Square Park, you are against the referendum. In fact, many of our current supporters support the referendum and the sale of Congress Square Park. They just think (as we do) that the public should have a say first. The other misconception is that we’re anti-development. We’re not. We just don’t think that selling and/or paving over public parks (rather than maintaining them) is sound economic development. Good parks and good development go hand-in-hand.

FP: Question 1 looks like a proposal to “strengthen Portland’s Land Bank.” But buried within is its real purpose: to block plans to revitalize Congress Square. Don’t be fooled! Most Portland parks are already protected by deed or state law and could not be sold. Moreover, Question 1 contains serious drafting flaws that would make it harder to protect our parks and/or require a citywide vote just to add a new playground or ball field.

do you believe portland’s parks/public spaces are under attack? Why or Why not?

PPP: Portland’s parks and open spaces are

definitely at risk. In a letter to the City Council dated 09/05/13 regarding the proposed sale of Congress Square Park, the city’s own Parks Commission strongly and unanimously opposed the sale remarking: “This action establishes the most dangerous of precedents: allowing the City to sell valuable public space for private development with minimal justification. This means that any public space could be a future candidate.” A vast majority of the 60 parks that our ordinance seeks to protect are not protected by any other state or city law or by any deed restrictions. Many are local parks and would only be missed by the neighbors in the immediate vicinity, and yet are vital to their quality of life. During such an incredible development boom, it would be naïve to think there won’t be pressures on some of these public spaces.

FP: No. Over the past 25 years, the city has acquired or protected more than 200 acres of open space and parkland. By contrast,

the Congress Square plan involves just 1/4 acre of chronically failed open space. Overall, this represents a net gain of open space of 800 to 1. By redesigning the plaza, the overall effect will be more foot traffic, more safety, and more business activity downtown. Open space preservation and investment is on the rise in Portland, and that’s something we should be proud of!

What do you think is the best Way to address the management (and potential sales) of portland’s public spaces and parks?

PPP: Vote Yes on 1 — thereby expanding and strengthening the Land Bank ordinance, protecting 60 parks and open spaces, and giving the public a voice in the process — and then re-establish an actual Parks Department. FP: Fortunately, more than a dozen of Portland’s iconic parks are already protected through means much stronger than Question 1. Deed and state law permanently protect spaces like Deering Oaks, Payson Park, the Promenades, and many others. Additionally, the City Council recently adopted a new ordinance requiring a supermajority of the Council (7 of 9 votes) for approval of the sale of any park land. It speaks volumes that the referendum’s proponents are using imagery of Deering Oaks even though there is an 1879 deed that blocks the city from selling the land!

Whose voices do you think are not being heard in this debate?

PPP: The vast majority of Portlanders

who believe that they should have the right to vote on the sale of our valuable public spaces are not being heard. A ‘Yes’ vote on June 10 would give Portlanders the right to vote before the City sells any public park.

FP: Portland voters are being misled by

Question 1 and are not being heard. Portlanders are being told that their iconic parks are threatened when, in fact, our parks are already protected through stronger, more permanent protections than Question 1 offers. Question 1 also hides its true purpose: blocking the revitalization of Congress Square. This leaves out most local residents and businesses who support the plan, including: $11 million dollars in new spending annually to area businesses, 120 full time jobs, and $400,000 in new revenue to the city and state. ^

Fattened up and re-Fanged, the rattlesnakes whip out their best _by nick schr oed er One of the longest running bands in Portland, the Rattlesnakes have had awhile to build up some trust. Formed in Farmington in 2006, the group have experimented with numerous configurations over the years, settling recently into a fine, full-sounding five-piece (cosongwriters Brian and Tara Cohen, the band’s respective guitarist and singer, were juggling their roles in the band long before getting married in 2010). Permanent fixtures on some of the city’s loudest, grubbiest rock bills, if they’ve been a punk group these past few years it’s been in name only, tending more toward psych-garage tones and obscure lyrical obsessions while largely eschewing fast tempos, as if the inevitable drift from punk rock necessitates — mainstream appeal not an option, of course — a move toward inscrutability, detached irony, and an ethos of apathy. What they’ve done with Get Your Fill then is significant. The ‘Snakes fifth album is, in a very real way, a return to form. But more importantly, it also stakes out a viable way forward for this adult rock band (which seemed lately to be backburnered in favor of the Cohens’ stripped-down side project Fur). An album of high energy, heightened cohesion, and Tara Cohen’s best, most melodic vocal performances to date, the punkness of Get Your Fill isn’t confined to volume and tempo, but the willingness to explore the minutiae of living a creative adult life. Over 12 songs, the album exposes seemingly mundane moments with care, deference, wit, and gratitude — without obscuring the institution of punk rock as a vessel for getting there. One of the genre’s unyielding limitations is its empty rhetoric, its canned exhortations and faux-revolutionary formalisms. So it’s the songs where the Rattlesnakes get most daringly specific that stand out most, finding inspiration from the quotidian aspects of Portland social life, being in a band, and making art. On “My Two Brians,” a song referencing both Cohen and second guitarist Brian Houdlette, Tara lays out the labors each exact on the group’s song ideas. On the hardcore blast “Spliff City,” the subject’s a day of intensely hiking local mountain peaks, letting the dog take the lead when things get too cloudy. And opening scorcher “Bad Thing,” a song ostensibly about selfrestraint and maturity, contains a tellingly poker-faced maxim: “the only mystery / is the lack of mystery / I reveal my hand / and it’s just an ordinary hand.” Get Your Fill also demonstrates the full

arrival of Houdlette, who joined the ‘Snakes prior to the recording of Spine in a period of acclimation which might account for that record’s thin guitar production and relative midtempo pace. His presence here makes the ’Snakes fiercer and fuller, the songs driven equally by Tara’s increasingly capacious vocals, a more propulsive guitar section, and the subsequently rejuvenated rhythm section. Their commitment to the frenetic final measures of the excellent “New Rocky Theme” elevates the track to one of the album’s best, while both bassist and Greg Bazinet and drummer Mike Cunnane each bring a tremendous amount of color to the trebly guitar stabs of “Last Outpost.” Earlier albums have shown a correlation between the ’Snakes most memorable songs and their most energetic ones, so it’s interesting to find Get Your Fill’s slower jams carrying equal weight. On the gorgeous “Oh Well,” a beach-poppy, inquisitive sort of love song that’ll one day sit among the band’s greatest hits, Tara’s melodies drive the track, the grain of her voice richer and deeper than usual, illustrating: “The other day / the snow falling between the rays. / Do you wanna watch it? / Are you moved by it?” When in the second chorus, she asks the same about seeing “two dogs fucking in the rain,” the absurd specificity somehow makes the feeling even clearer. Through trust, simplicity, and the diaristic attention to what might otherwise be the forgettable observations of the pleasures of adult life, Get Your Fill is a uniquely compelling sort of rock record. Totally unafraid of being boring, it’s the band’s most interesting to date. ^

purse snatch and grab For attention on IndIana _by s am pF e iF l e Purse are definitely leader in the clubhouse for Album Art of the Year, thanks to sometime Phoenix illustrator (in the ’00s) Bob Smyth, whose intricate pieces have always made my mind race. The hot-pink-and-black big cat motif on the cover of Indiana is like Tron of the Jungle. Smyth’s a multi-talented guy. He also happens to bang around on the drums for Purse, as he’s been doing here and there for more than a decade. Ginette Labonville is his long-time partner in crime, the other half of a guitar-drums two-piece that’s sometimes joined by bass in the live setting (producer Noah Defilippis plays bass on the record). As far as I can figure, this new foursong EP is the first release they’ve had, the first digitized capture of their raw take on stripped-down metal and punk. Labonville has an interesting finger-style on the electric guitar that’s not totally obvious first listen, due to all the wash and general loudness. And Smyth ain’t exactly one to be gentle. Even when he’s being light on the high hat, he seems to smack it around a little bit. It’s a sound built for, and built in, DIY spaces like basements and small clubs, where you can get right inside it and thrash around. In the headphones, it can be a bit claustrophobic, but that seems to be the point. Labonville’s vocals are Geddy Lee in tone, but never trying to be that pretty. When she, in “22 mph Introvert,” decides to come down into something more mid-range, it’s to ask “what you gonna do, without love?” and it’s like being utterly dismissed. By the song’s finish, it’s a lesson in shoegazer, a cross between Ocean and

Belly — it can be catchy at times, but the guitar’s alternating notes bore into you and turn catchy into uncomfortable. The David Camlin video for “Trading Places” is delightfully disturbing, and effectively captures the Purse aesthetic. It’s fun and harmless, but, man, isn’t the clown in those old Betty Boop videos just a little bit off? You might find yourself questioning whether you’re supposed to be enjoying this record quite so much. Purse, even when Labonville is cycling through some relatively technical stuff, still finish somewhere near whatever people mean by fevered. Just like early Metallica, which they ape in the open to “Indiana.” Even if you don’t catch more than a tenth of the lyrics, you get the idea. This is music for people who generally find the upside in fever-induced hallucinations. Things are not normal in the Purse universe. And that’s the good part. ^

elastIc smIle stretches great western plain way out elastic _by nick s chr oed er Progress is tense, gross, anxious, and inevitable. In Great Western Plain, a Portland rock trio originally from the Orono area, it’s that and more, and their new album, an eight-song, 51-minute motherfucker called Elastic Smile, doesn’t attempt to sugarcoat it. A demonstration of Neu-ish kraut rhythms done up in prodigious Yankee style, with unattractive vocal harmonies either deadpanned or brazenly off-key, and a guitar tone that could best be described as desperate, the sprawling Elastic Smile is as much of an original statement as a daunting one. Yet every serious music fan has figured out that many of their favorite albums are those they’ve initially found repellent. (This principle is also true of progress.) Great Western Plain make it resoundingly clear what their intentions are, leading off their second full-length, the follow-up to 2012’s Mustache Eye Patch, with “Thom,” a taut, bass-driven post-punk song that does its best to resist dynamics over 12 and a half minutes. It’s not a similar-sounding song to the 12-minute commencement on Shellac’s Terraform, but as an opening salvo, it represents the very same finger. Track two, the aggressively slack, 5-minute “Venado Negro,” presents itself innocently enough, its great garbage-rock riff played with a tone so shrill it sounds like the pickups were replaced with stovetop coils. The 7-and-a-half minute “Wipers” gives away another influence (though Greg Sage never had this sort of patience), returning to the uniform kraut-rock rhythms the album led with, bassist Michael Powers and drummer Anthony Bitetti banging out the same 4/4 measure over and over again while Tim Berrigan drills springs of noise from his amplifier. After a tense, two-minute interlude in the middle, the band return in full force and it’s a cacophony that’s almost orchestral in its squall. The band seem exquisitely comfortable making noise here; recorded by Bitetti, it sounds wonderful. “Monroe” shows Great Western Plain aren’t trying to be masochists, and neither are they out to fuck with you. While the song doesn’t compromise the harsh palette of tones and timbres they’ve already rolled

out, nor does it much attempt to glorify the deadpanned, disaffected vocals, it’s evidence that Elastic Smile is a noise record in the Daydream Nation mold — one stemming from places more emotional and expressive than antisocial. The lurching, six-and-ahalf-minute “Carolyn” reaffirms this, as Berrigan’s vocals stretch into an uncomfortably high register for a chorus of “don’t you run away / feeling not okay.” It’s one of the album’s only lines delivered with any sort of subjective intention, and as purposely queasy as it comes out, it helps carve out a path to the album’s buried emotional heft. Along with the distant Sonic Youth and Neu nods, Elastic Smile will have you recalling My Dad is Dead, NoMeansNo, the Wipers, Naked Raygun, and maybe a few other classic post-punk groups you didn’t actually listen to when they were around. It’s a spacious, bold, and truly enjoyable rock record, perhaps even for those who are sure to recoil from the sort of unreconstructed stylistic choices the band make throughout the album. It has no obvious, definitive place in the Portland music scene, and to the best of my knowledge sounds very little any other record made in Maine in a very long time. It shows Great Western Plain to be the sort of band that can be confounding and trustworthy, ugly and passionate, all at once. Feels gross sometimes, but nobody said progress should be pretty. ^

Tyler Jackson’s Foam Castles has been an ongoing, shapeshifting project since the beginning. And while these days they’re in full-band mode — a four-, sometimes five-piece consisting of members of Brenda, Jaw Gems, LQH, and Jackson’s more punkish outfit Endless Jags — Jackson has clearly found the ability to shapeshift on his own, guiding his idiosyncratic, often brilliant pop songs along unpredictable paths and permutations while remaining incredibly accessible. The major evolution documented on Through That Door is Jackson’s affirmed commitment to shorter, more concise songs. With an effort Bob Pollard would appreciate, he’s whittled the album’s 14 tracks to a mere half an hour, trusting the listener to extract what they can from a snapshot, one that often won’t be around for a second chorus. The expert pop romp “Sycamore” quickly shakes out a shimmery, Beach Boys-y verse before crashing into a Big Star chorus, wrapping at just over two minutes. “I Lost It” is an effective resting spot, despite Jackson doing little more than hopscotching around an obscure confessional chorus. And “Romasco Burnout” sheds some intimate commentary on the culture of a Portland street. Some songs, like “Underground Interiors,” lack choruses entirely yet feel totally complete, adding to the mounting case for Jackson becoming one of Portland’s subtlest, craftiest songwriters. If this sounds indulgent or experimental, don’t be fooled. Through the Door is simply one of the more efficient, expertly assembled local pop records released this year. The formula that Jackson is banking on is the same one that makes Guided by Voices, ice cream cones, and Snapchat popular: People will engage with something more readily if they know it’s about to expire. There’s no need to bludgeon us with repetition, and he knows as well as we do that the album’s less likely to get heard at an hour long. Besides, as well-versed in pop structures as Jackson shows he is, his songs’ relative brevity make perfectly clear what’s important here, and it’s not the time-

honored conventions of pleasing the listener, or trotting out an affected chorus three or four times until all its referents dry out. Jackson’s lyrics, inscrutable and irreconcilable as they can sometimes be, are clearly inspired by specific moments of joy, love, pain, and regret. To transubstantiate them into song, into memory, their expressions should be as fleeting as the experience. He only goes so far on “There,” a heartfelt epilogue to a past love, falsetto-ing “I’m not the first one to make you cry / You hope I won’t be the last / Your love is in the past again. / And I’m thankful for the pain / Never free from what’ll always remain.” On “Punk Leg,” the band gets almost painterly, Jackson crooning warm affirmations and bright guitar patterns over a coat of Tyler Quist’s shimmery synth chords. And “Here Comes the Temperature,” with its gauzy guitar melody and veiled come-ons, is one of the most chilled-out paeans to getting amped with a loved one there could be. With as much timbral, textural variation as this Foam Castles four-piece brings to the album — the oscillating hum that launches “Basic Basic Prison” or the weird arena-rock chorus of “Two-Seat” — the songs can occasionally get caught up in similar tempos. But it’s never hard to find footing. Jackson’s lyrics and the band’s arrangements are in full service of the emotion of the song, and several passages sound oddly, eerily familiar after only one or two listens. Take the “Gutshot,” another love song and a dark horse entry for the album’s peak, where Jackson marries an impenetrable lyrical hook with an irresistible melody: “for all time / always with your two blind sides.” No idea what it means, but after hearing it 10 times over two-and-a-half minutes, it has to match up to something. And the melody is so agreeable, so clearly a place he wants to go, that you might be forced to think of some heartfelt, similarly buried analogue from your own life. And yeah, he’s right, that is a gutshot. ^

immigrant kitchens: dare to dal once you know the ingredients, it’s easy _By lin ds a y s t e rl in g I’d tasted dals from time to time in Indian restaurants and liked them, but never had the occasion to cook one. I guess I was intimidated. What were dals even made of? And how many kinds were there? It seemed like dozens, perhaps a hundred. I asked my Indian friend, Shweta Galway, if she’d show me how to make one. She said yes, although she had a funny reaction, like I asked her to demonstrate how to make a glass of milk. Growing up in the town of Umreth in Gujarat State in northwestern India, her mom made toor dal several times a week. Her family’s Hindu culture is vegetarian, and dals are a major source of protein. In Shweta’s pantry, rows of glass jars revealed 15 legumes I’d never cooked with. There were black chickpeas, white little beans called val, little black beans called urad, and dark green BB-pellet-shaped ones called moong. Since there are more than 50 different kinds of pulses (grain legumes) in India and Pakistan, perhaps I was right to be intimidated. I was thankful when she singled out one. You’ve got to start somewhere, right? She called these golden split beans toor dal, and proceeded to show me how to make them into a thick golden stew, spiced with magical Indian mojo. It was absolutely hearty and delicious (not how I usu-

FShort Takes

ally describe vegetarian food), especially eaten as it was presented to me: with white rice, handmade whole-wheat flatbread, and a mix of spiced yellow potatoes and cauliflower. Although toor dal is new to most Westerners, it’s really just an old relative of the peas and beans you are familiar with. Archeologists have determined that people have been eating toor dal for at least 3,500 years in India. The perennial legume looks a lot like a yellow split pea, but it’s smaller and a different species. In fact, toor dal are small golden dried beans that have been split in half. Indeed, the “dal” in the name means “split” in Sanskrit. Toor dal is known by some as yellow pigeon peas in English (which might be one reason why the ingredient hasn’t really caught on in the United States. Who wants to eat something called a pigeon pea?). It contains high levels of protein, and is the first seed legume plant to have its genome sequenced. To make toor dal you’ll probably have to go to an Indian market to get the ingredients. In Maine you can get everything you need at Masala Mahal (798 Main St, South Portland; Tues-Sat: 10 am-7 pm; Mon: 4 pm-8 pm; Sun: 11 am-6 pm) or shere Punjab (the spice store above the restaurant at 46 Main St, Brunswick; Wed-Mon: 11 am-7 pm).

Preparing the stew is really easy. First you soak the toor dal as you would any other dried beans (preferably overnight), and cook them in water until they’re soft. Then you add turmeric, chili powder, coriander, cumin, salt, tamarind paste (it’s tangy like lemon juice), and jaggery (a type of unrefined sugar used in Asian and African cooking). Then, in about a quarter cup of oil in a separate small pan, you fry whole spices — black mustard seeds, Indian dried red chilies, fenugreek seeds, and curry leaves — along with some PresentinG PiGeon Peas shweta’s son shows us toor dal, peanuts. Finally, you stir his favorite indian legume. the oil with spices and peanuts into the toor dal, and there you have it: an awesome vegevery month, lindsay sterling visits the home etarian, protein-packed soup. of a local immigrant to learn how to make a I couldn’t believe making my first dal new dish from another part of the world.

movie reviews in brief

xxxx Cheap thRills 88 minUtes | friday, may 30, at space gallery A failed writer (indie stalwart Pat Healy), facing eviction and fired from his job, drowns his sorrows at a neighborhood tavern, where he runs into an old friend (Ethan Embry) similarly down on his luck; the duo become a foursome when they start drinking with a sexy blond (Sara Paxton) and her wealthy husband (David Koechner), who starts throwing cash at the two pals to execute a series of increasingly gross and dangerous stunts. Screenwriters David Chirchirillo and Trent Haaga pose a simple question—how much will a person degrade himself to make ends meet? — but it’s a potent one, at least for those of us who ponder it every Monday through Friday. Koechner, a character actor so ubiquitous I wish he’d just go

xxxx COlD in july 110 minUtes | r | railroad sqUare A dim-bulb shop owner (Michael C. Hall) kills a burglar in selfdefense, setting off a series of

bizarre events that ultimately land him in hot water with the criminal underworld of east Texas. This deadpan black comedy from director Jim Mickle evokes John Carpenter’s films of the 1970s and ’80s with its synth-driven minimalist soundtrack, clean wide-screen compositions, and affectionate portrayal of lower-middleclass America. Yet the script — adapted by Mickle and his

frequent collaborator Nick Damici from a crime novel by Joe R. Lansdale — suggests an update of Sam Shepard’s early plays in its shaggy-dog narrative, macho oddball characters, and non sequitur dialogue. This shotgun marriage of Carpenter and Shepard may not be a total success; nonetheless it results in the sort of eccentric film maudit that’s become rare in American cinema. With Don Johnson, Vinessa Shaw, and Shepard as the burglar’s vengeful father.

Don’t let the title scare you: there are no Moody Blues songs in the latest X-Men romp, the seventh in the franchise. There are, however, plenty of fine actors buried under the usual avalanche of digital effects: Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, and, new to the series, Peter Dinklage as an evil scientist who wants to kill all the superhuman mutants in the world. Much of this takes place in the early 1970s, which gives the filmmakers an excuse to haul out lots of vintage kitsch and make some rather tasteless references to the Vietnam War. Bryan Singer, who directed the first two X-Men movies, is back behind the camera, though this looks virtually identical to the previous installment, X-Men: First Class, directed by someone else.

_by sy Mbo line Da i No matter what else is going on in your life, there’s no denying the next three weeks are sweet indeed, as the days lengthen through the summer solstice. And with the moon on the increase for the next two weeks, the nights will be bright indeed. Mars is still in Libra, and since Libra is the sign of partnership, from now through June, relationships are emphasized, particularly for air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Ironically, normally drifty Libran born the first week of October will be compelled to make big decisions (and could also be comically accident-prone).

Waxing moon in Gemini, moon void-of-course 5:15 am until 10:13 am thursday when it moves into cancer. an all-day voidof-course moon suggests abrupt changes of plans and conversations that may not go anywhere (despite great enthusiasms). Willing to say anything: Gemini, aquarius, libra, and cancer. prone to misspeaking: Virgo, pisces, Sagittarius, and capricorn. in a gambling mood: taurus, aries, Scorpio, and leo. 2

thursday may 29

Waxing moon in cancer (moon void-of-course in Gemini until 10:13 am). Start a home-craft, or pick out new decoration. coziness is the theme, especially for Scorpio, pisces, cancer, taurus, and Virgo. libra, aries, capricorn, and aquarius: you may feel vulnerable, or that others are judging. Sagittarius, pisces, and Gemini: introspection comes easily, so others may feel you’re not there for them (in case you’re perceiving “dagger eyes”). 3

saturday may 31

Waxing moon in cancer. this moon is excellent for domestic activity, baking or massage. Working with your hands to feed the stomach puts you in tune with the moon. except for aries, libra, capricorn, Sagittarius, or aquarius, who may feel slow and heavy. every little emotion feels so important to you, and cancer, pisces, Scorpio, and leo could be the recipient of unwanted confidences. taurus, Virgo, and Gemini: get others’ input before taking action. 4

sunday June 1

Waxing moon in cancer, moon void-of-course 2:32 am until 9:43 pm when it moves into leo. another all-day void-of-course could stir up trouble with communication, old friendships, domestic pursuits. cancer, Scorpio, pisces, leo, and Virgo: make your house pretty or useful. aries, libra, capricorn, Sagittarius and aquarius: don’t leap to conclusions — sidle over to possibilities. taurus, Virgo, and Gemini: slow and steady keeps you sane 5

monday June 2

Waxing moon in leo. a relief — especially for those of you in sales or jobs that interact with the public. notice more action? Make a point of being generous for no reason, and it’s okay to advertise this. leo, Sagittarius, aries, libra, Gemini, cancer, and Virgo: full force forward. taurus, Scorpio, aquarius, capricorn, and pisces: impatience starts with “imp” (and you may feel that imp wants to get you in trouble). 6

tuesday June 3

Waxing moon in leo, moon void-of-course 10:42 am until 10:20 am Wednesday. personally, i like leo moons. Fun and games, childlike delight — all enjoyable pursuits, and so much easier than the heaviness of cancerian emotional depths. at their best: aries, Sagittarius, leo, Virgo, cancer, libra, and Gemini. crazed and prone to pouting: taurus, Scorpio, aquarius, capricorn, and pisces. 7

Wednesday June 4

Waxing moon in Virgo (moon void-of-course in leo until 10:20 am). this moon sign can drive you crazy unless you understand what it’s about and accept its crazy parameters. to wit: go completely crazy organizing and cataloging your life! clean up, clean out, make time for the boring stuff. on their toes: taurus, Scorpio, Virgo, capricorn, libra. possibly pissy: pisces, Sagittarius, aries, and Gemini. in a mood to judge: cancer, leo, aquarius. 8

moon Keys

This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon moves into the sun sign opposite yours (see below), expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. Other oppositions are Taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, Cancer/Capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, and Virgo/Pisces. The moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | As the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of course,” making no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. But it’s great for brainstorming. | For Symboline Dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thePhoenix.com. Symboline Dai can be reached at sally@moonsigns.net.
