intercontinental collaborations

A Beaux across the pond While many of us simply watched the Grammy Awards broadcast on Sunday night (marveling over the Bruno/Sting/Rihanna/Marley performance, or Carrie Underwood’s dress-as-video-screen), for others the Awards show is actually the culmination of something of a Grammy festival, with industry parties and get-togethers sprawling through the week and all over LA. At one of these events, the fourth annual Social Media Rock Stars Summit, British ingénue Beaux Saunders performed thanks to her status as runner-up in the Hitlab Emerging Artist Competition, beating out some 1500 other entrants.

Good for her, right? You’ve likely never heard of her.

But also good for Portsmouth, New Hampshire, producer and Portland native son Dan Snyder, who co-wrote and produced her lone single, the vampy jazz-age throwback “Ain’t That Beautiful,” as well as a number of other tracks that will form the basis of her debut album. Good, too, for the Studio’s Jim Begley and Gateway Mastering’s Adam Ayan, who mixed and mastered, respectively, Saunders’s thus-far recorded works.

(Actually, Ayan had a pretty great night Sunday; he mastered Carrie Underwood’s record, which took home a pair of Grammys.)

Perhaps most interestingly, neither Snyder, Begley, nor Ayan has ever even met Saunders in person.

demo,” Snyder says, over the phone from his home studio, “and he brought me under his wing. And so I worked with a few of his artists, who ended up getting signed to Dark Child and then Warner Brothers, and that just put me in the conversation on Twitter.”

Snyder was looking to put his music industry degree from Northeastern to work, getting into a blend of co-writing and production that’s functionally artist development, and he and Saunders hit it off. “I loved her voice,” he The reAch oF PorTlAnD Forest City native Dan Snyder wrote a winning song for upsaid. “It was really interand-coming British pop star Beaux Sanders. esting and different and there was room to not be that top-40 sound that’s so recognizable.” Once you hear In fact, Snyder got together with Saunders in a most her, you’ll realize she certainly doesn’t need much by apropos way for the new age of the recording industry: way of Auto-Tune.

Her manager found him on Twitter, thanks to an assoThus ensued a digital back-and-forth that’s becoming ciation with producer Chad Beatz (G-Unit). “I sent Chad a fairly commonplace in the industry. “The first couple of tracks,” says Snyder, “I composed and arranged and played everything, and then she would sit with it and come up with some top-line melodies and some lyrical ideas. She’d send me back the roughs of those, and then I would tweak some lyrics or some melodic parts and then we’d talk through Skype about what we’ve been hearing and what’s working.”

Once everything was a go, Saunders would head to a professional studio in London to record her vocals, which she’d then send back to Snyder for initial mixing into the “final” version of the song.

But what about quality control? “I just made sure she was in a good studio and a good place with people who knew what they were doing,” Snyder says. “I think they respected it enough that they did it right . . . It’s just a matter of getting cleanest vocal possible and just take it from there.”

Snyder describes his role as sort of the 21st century version of Bernie Taupin’s relationship with Elton John, the wind beneath Beaux’s wings, so to speak.

Snyder and Saunders are now shopping songs to publishing houses and labels, building up their song repertoire. At the same time, Saunders will be looking to tour and raise her profile — while Snyder stays at home.

There’s no doubt it’s a behind-the-scenes role he’s playing, but Snyder is comfortable outside of the limelight. “The plan for me,” he says, “is that I continue to work with Beaux and her people and help her see her vision and her music through, but I’m always working with other writers and performers as well.

She happens to be really taking off, through her own efforts and her own sweat. I’m invested in her from that standpoint, but she’s not the end of the line in terms of collaborators.”

Going Green

politics + other mistakes

_BY DeIr Dre F ulto n

Back to our roots

School for fools If there’s one Maine institution Governor Paul LePage hates more than the state’s whiny newspapers, it’s public schools. And for good reason.

A Harvard University study released last year found Maine was 40th of 41 states rated for student improvement. We beat Uganda, which Harvard apparently considers a US state.

The Maine Department of Education admits math and reading scores for third- through eighth-graders have been as flat as the TV screens kids are watching instead of doing homework.

According to the National Council on Teacher Quality, Maine scored a Dplus in 2012 for preparing new teachers for the classroom. That didn’t even include training them to shoot guns.

Data from the University of Maine System shows 12 percent of the state’s high school graduates needed remedial programs before they could do college work. Half the high school students the Maine Community College System accepted from within the state weren’t ready for freshman classes. When LePage applied to college, he had much the same problem.

Maine got below-average grades for improving teacher quality from a national reform group called StudentsFirst. Although, all our teachers know enough to put spaces between words.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress found Maine fourthand eighth-graders scored barely above average on its vocabulary test, even though the state spends considerably more per student annually than the national average. Too much of that must be going to putting spaces between words and not enough to the words.

Last year, the federal No Child Left Behind Act’s assessment found

f

_BY DAV ID KIS h

only 35 percent of Maine schools were making adequate progress toward meeting the law’s goals. Just 5 percent of Americans understand what those goals are, and most of them think they’re irrelevant to measuring student achievement or else a plot to get rid of that nasty 10th-grade English teacher who gave them a C-minus.

“In fact,” said the governor at a January news conference, “our school systems are failing.” He claimed this was because, “we don’t care about our kids.”

That could be true. I certainly don’t care about his kids. And when it comes to yours, I’m ambivalent.

In a speech last year, LePage was even blunter: “If you want a good education, go to private schools. If you can’t afford it, tough luck. You can go to public school.”

As is frequently the case, the governor’s statements were so impolitic as to allow his opponents — chiefly the Maine Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union — to divert debate from the point he was trying to make to the way he attempted to make it. The MEA is also adept at finding studies that contradict those LePage cites. In part this is because accurately measuring success in education is like attempting to measure sexual satisfaction. There can be considerable divergence of opinion even among those most intimately associated with the process.

(Hey, vocabulary testers, how about that last sentence for using big words to talk dirty without getting caught by the editor? Hard to believe I only got a C-minus. Not that I’m still bitter.)

Much of what LePage has to say about education can be dismissed as blather (for instance, his plan to grade every Maine school on an Athrough-F scale), but that shouldn’t obscure his central points: The state’s

df u l t o n @ ph x.c o m

schools are over-regulated and underresponsive to students’ future needs.

That isn’t necessarily the fault of teachers, administrators, or even unions. To a large extent, it’s the result of the pernicious (did you catch that hot-shot word, Mr. C. Minus Teacher?) intrusion of the federal bureaucracy into what ought to be a state — or, better yet, a local — matter.

School systems are forced by rules from Washington to mold the curriculum mostly to prepare students for taking various national tests.

These tests have almost nothing to do with determining whether anybody is learning anything useful. Instead, they attempt to measure progress toward the goals of whatever arbitrary theory of learning is in vogue this year, while continuing to trample over whatever kids might actually want to study or, perish the thought, what their parents might want to pay for.

To some extent, charter schools attempt to reverse this trend, and LePage is to be commended for advancing that cause, albeit by blustering and ranting in generally unproductive ways. But real progress will come only when municipalities can make more of their own decisions about what to teach and how to teach it. Increasing the involvement of taxpayer-parents (as well as taxpayernon-parents) in setting standards and budgets would go a long way toward curing some of the ills that beset public education.

It’s not that you and your neighbors won’t make mistakes every bit as ludicrous as No Child Left Behind. It’s just that the only people who’ll have to suffer for them will be your own kids. ^

it’s a fundamental notch in any homesteader’s totem pole: root-cellaring, or the practice of storing fresh, whole, harvested fruits and vegetables in a cool environment (usually underground) in order to enjoy them long after the growing season has ended. but this age-old tradition isn’t the sole domain of hardcore back-to-the-landers. anyone wishing to increase their consumption of local and seasonal produce can reap the benefits of a root cellar. and given the popularity of home-gardening and farmers’ markets, it makes sense to look for ways to extend our fresh-food-eating season. right now, when the ground is buried in more than two feet of snow, it’s difficult to imagine eating fresh carrots, apples, or chinese cabbage plucked straight from our backyard plot. instead, we head to hannaford and pick up not just beets and potatoes but veggies that are out-of-season, too: tomatoes, berries, peppers. in this way, we’re perpetuating an unnatural food system, one that expends energy to ship in food from afar and costs more to boot. it doesn’t have to be this way! i’ve written about various food preservation techniques in this column before, but among canning, freezing, drying, and root cellaring, the latter is by far the simplest, making it possible to enjoy the fruits of your gardening labor through mid-winter and beyond. “a properly constructed root cellar does not take a back seat to any other method of food storage,” says maine organic farming expert eliot coleman. “it is no great feat to manage a simple underground root cellar so that the produce will be equal or superior in quality to anything stored in an artificially refrigerated unit, even after long periods of storage.” all you need is a space where produce can be kept cool and damp; between 32 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit (you don’t want the food to freeze), with 90 to 95 percent humidity (to prevent shriveling), are considered optimal conditions. the area should be kept dark (light promotes sprouting in potatoes) and wellventilated (to control condensation). pre-storage, green tops should be trimmed, but veggies shouldn’t be cleaned before they’re packed up — dirt helps keep disease away.

Whether you’re a homeowner or a renter, there are coldstorage options for you. those with access to a basement, shed, or garage have it easiest, but diy alternatives are out there for all those who are committed to enjoying their own damn yams, thankyouverymuch.

F the most ambitious choice is to dig your own root cellar outside, either into a hill or straight down into the ground, lined and insulated with concrete or stone.

F if you have a basement or cellar, you should be able to cordon off one section (again, concrete blocks work best), insulate the exterior walls from the heat, and, if necessary, install some ventilation. a similar option is to repurpose a bulkhead as a root cellar; if you go in this direction, you’ll find a very helpful tutorial on the maine organic Farmers and Gardeners association website (tinyurl.com/bulkheadroots).

F Sheds, garages, three-season-porches, or ice-cold spare rooms are also good storage spots for certain root and bulb vegetables; garlic and onions keep especially well in spots that are cold but not necessarily moist.

F according to VegetableGardener.com, a shovel, some straw, a trash can, and a tarp can be employed to fashion a mini-root-cellar of sorts: choose a dry spot in your backyard; dig a hole deep enough for the can; fill the can with roots such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, kohlrabi, turnips, rutabagas and beets; cap it; cover with straw and tarp; and voila! motherearthnews.com notes that barrels and clay drainpipes could serve similar purposes. right around now, when the ground is hard as rock and abundant harvests exist only in the realm of imagination, you might be cursing your lack of root-cellaring foresight. never fear, there’s always next season. in the meantime, read up. these books are particularly comprehensive: F Root cellaring: natural cold Storage of fruits and Vegetables, by mike and nancy bubel (Storey publishing, 1991) F four-Season harvest: organic Vegetables from Your home Garden All Year long by eliot coleman (chelsea Green publishing, 1999) ^

8 February 15, 2013 | the portland phoenix | portland.thephoenix.com

A yeAr-round occupAtion How farmers stay busy during tHe colder montHs in maine _by d eir dre f ul t o n When we think of farms, fruits and vegetables, and the bounty of the garden, we don’t usually think of February — at least not in Maine, and definitely not after a blizzard of historic proportions.

When we consider the act of farming, we picture a bare-armed afternoon, elbowdeep in dirt, forehead sweaty in the sun.

We see turned-over earth, insects, and vibrant colors: greens, reds, oranges . . .

In fact, it’s easy to think of working farms as hibernating entities not much different from bears, garter snakes, or hedgehogs.

But even against February’s gray-white backdrop, a farmer’s labor continues. “To live and work on a farm is really to be in a cycle,” says Seth Kroeck of Crystal Spring Community Farm in Brunswick, which sells organic produce and Katahdin pasture-fed lamb.

While this farm manager admits that winter hours are much less demanding (20 to 40 per week as opposed to 80 to 100 at the peak of growing season), there’s still a lot going on this time of year. Seed orders were placed at the beginning of the year, and the 2012 financial books were balanced and closed. The hay baler and tractor need maintenance. Firewood needs to be chopped.

Soon, Kroeck will start interviewing and

f

hiring apprentices (he typically manages anywhere from four to eight additional employees from late spring to early fall).

And in a couple weeks, “we’ll start getting the greenhouse ready to start seeding for the summer,” he says.

The cold months provide time for planning, too. “In general, winter is the prime time of year that we step back and plan for the spring-summer-fall seasons,” says Dave Herring, executive director of Wolfe’s Neck Farm Foundation in Freeport. “ And in this arena, some farmers choose to go high-tech.

“We spend a great deal of time on record keeping and re-vamping field plans for the upcoming season,” says Stacy Brenner of Broadturn Farm in Scarborough. “We are huge of fans of Google and keep all our field maps and records on Google Earth. We use a plethora of spreadsheets to plan seeding and transplanting dates, succession planting schedules for fields and hoop houses, seed orders, targeted harvest dates and yields, and we update all of these with notes we take throughout the season.” (Backyard growers, you can do this too, even in a regular old spiral-bound notebook!)

Broadturn is also taking this down time to hash out the logistics and location of its new retail shop in Portland, which is

slated to open this spring. With help from a Farms for the Future grant from the state Department of Agriculture, Brenner and her husband, John Bliss, are launching an urban farm store — “sort of a version of our current dooryard farmstand, Flora*Bliss, but in the city,” she says.

Many farms take the December-toMarch lull to ramp up other programming.

Wolfe’s Neck, for example, offers winter vacation day camps for kids, and in February and March they will run a four-day course that will teach “comprehensive skills in sustainable woodlot management with a draft horse” ($450; visit wolfesneckfarm.org for details). Want to meet these powerful horses, but not necessarily for logging purposes? Bundle up and stop by the farm this Saturday between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm for an all-ages Draft Horse Meet and Greet.

And of course, the cold months pass before we know it.

“Believe it or not, our first seeding date is the last week in February,” Brenner says.

“Once we start seeds, the woodstove for the greenhouse needs to be fired daily and the plants all need tending. The pace really picks up quickly.”

The (non)hibernation ends, and the growing cycle begins again. ^

celery root rémoulade

From diane morgan’S Roots

roasted celery root cubes are addictive and nutty, with a sweet flavor that almost resembles artichoke hearts. but before you cook with celeriac the first time,you should try the fragrant vegetable raw. the French love raw celery root julienned and coated with a mustard mayonnaise in the classic bistro salad, céléri en rémoulad e. morgan, whose book is discussed on page 16, punches up her recipe with minced cornichons and capers and minced fresh herbs. use whatever you have on hand.

1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard 1 tbsp cider vinegar 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 tbsp minced cornichons 1 tbsp minced capers

Kosher or fine sea salt Freshly ground pepper 1 large celery root, about 1.5 lbs.

1 tbsp finely snipped fresh chives 1 tbsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 tbsp minced fresh tarragon

in a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, cornichons, and capers. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. (the salad can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.) Serve chilled. Serves 8 to 10 as a side dish. reprinted by permission of chronicle Books; read about Roots on page

Tendrils thingS you can do With root and bulb vegetableS — other than eating them Heal F take the onion skin, the super-thin, transparent layer (often between two of the thicker, outermost layers) and place the onion skin over a mild burn, scrape, or cut.

F mix fresh onion juice with honey to make cough syrup.

F For an emergency eyewash, chop up an onion and breathe deeply; your tears will flow and the foreign object will be dislodged.

F garlic can reduce blood pressure.

F ginger can reduce upset stomach due to motion sickness, nausea, or even morning sickness. it can also soothe sore throats.

F ginseng root, a very commonly used traditional medicine, can lower blood pressure and improve responses to stress.

Play F bake five potatoes in their skins until they’re ready to eat. peel and then mash them, combining three cups flour with every four cups of mashed potato until you have a dough-like consistency.

KeeP time F take two potatoes, two galvanized nails, two short segments of copper wire, three pairs of alligator clips, and a battery-powered led clock. remove the battery, noting where the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are. name the potatoes. (With apologies to mr. and mrs. potato head, we’ll use “chip” and “Julienne.”)

Stick a nail in each potato. also stick a short piece of copper wire into each spud, as far from the nail as you can. using alligator clips, connect the copper wire in chip to the positive terminal of the clock. connect the nail in Julienne to the negative terminal in the clock. now connect the nail in chip to the copper wire in Julienne, and set the time! _Jeff Inglis

using a sharp knife, cut off the base and a thin slice from the top of the celery root and then cut the root in half lengthwise. pare away the tough outer skin from one of the halves. using a chef’s knife, mandoline, or the julienne blade of a food processor, cut the peeled half into matchsticks. immediately add it to the bowl holding the dressing and toss to coat the celery root thoroughly to prevent browning. repeat with the second half. add the chives, parsley, and tarragon and mix well. taste and adjust seasoning.

Farmers’ faves

We asked three local farmers to describe

their favorite ways to prepare root veggies. fStacy Brenner likes ’em as a comfort food topping in this recipe, adapted from the Joy of Cooking: “We are all super-fond of Shepherd’s pie . . . i use meat (preferably lamb) and root vegetables and some nutmeg in the stew and then cook some more roots (parsnip, sweet potato, potato, rutabaga, celery root) and mash them for the top.”

Seth KroecK keeps it fresh by grating or julienning roots like carrots or kohlrabi, then eating them raw with some cider or rice vinegar.

Dave herring enjoys a classic preparation: roasted with cloves of garlic and olive oil. _DF

Superstition old maine taleS oF root veggieS

according to Katrina Wynn, archives

manager at the maine Folklife center f (part of the university of maine at orono), root vegetables appear twice in the folktale items collected by researchers: F a tidbit collected in 1964 in trevett says garlic hung over doors will keep away witches and vampires. no word on zombies, though.

F From Wiscasset, also in 1964, comes this item: if you are peeling potatoes, make a long paring, and swing it around your head three times before dropping it. When it lands, it will take the shape of the letter of the alphabet your future husband’s name will start with. _JI

in memoriam

Recalling Russell libby When trying to come up with a few words to commemorate Russell Libby, the former executive director of Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, who died in December at the age of 56, my first thought was: What could I possibly offer which is not already present in my father’s stunning portrait? However, over last weekend, as the snow fell and fell, I picked up the phone and called people who knew Russell all over our great state of Maine. In between breaks from shoveling, people took time to talk, intimately and generously. Their stories were plentiful. They tell us more about the man than a sterile list of biographical facts could ever possibly attempt: My first phone call was to sAm HAywArD, the executive chef at Portland’s world-renowned Fore Street Restaurant.

Sam recalled: “On September 11, 2001, Russell and I were scheduled to meet at Fore Street to discuss MOFGA business. I had found out what was happening when my eldest son called to ask why everyone on his college campus, just an hour or so outside of New York, was frantic about some sort of attack which he couldn’t get any solid information about. I turned on a cable news channel to find out for both of us, and we stayed on the phone as I described for him the incomprehensible: the images of towers burning, bodies falling before the towers did. Eventually I had to get off the phone to travel to Portland and work, but during the commute I fought a powerful urge, overriding reason, to continue down I-95 to grab my son and haul him home to Maine where I knew there was safety and sanity. Instead, I got to Fore Street, got to my desk, and went through the motions of ordering fish and mushrooms, taking care of business. Russell arrived for our meeting, and waited for me upstairs while I tried to focus on business. Russell collected his thoughts while watching the waterfront from the restaurant’s windows.

When I finally got off the phone, I joined Russell in the restaurant. We didn’t have much conversation. The MOFGA business fell away. Instead there was a sense of holding on to each other, as if in an earthquake, with the ground rolling away underneath us.”

Congresswoman CHellie PinGree sent along her elegiac commemoration of Libby, which she entered into our nation’s congressional record (Libby, it should be noted, in his 17-year tenure, not only built MOFGA into the largest organic famers and growers association in the country, but he also worked with Pingree to help pass a version of the Farm Bill that, in her words, “better supports small, diversified farms.”

Her memorial reads: “As an economist, farmer, and poet, Russell . . . could point to the numbers to show positive effects smaller-scale food systems have for our economy. He could speak from experience of the difficulties of operating a small farm. And he could clearly illustrate the good things that happen when we have

In his 17-year tenure, Libby built MOFGA into a strong group with a voice well beyond Maine.

a closer connection to the land and each other. . . . It’s my hope that this body will do well by him and take his vision to heart.

‘I’m really not interested in standing over here in the local and organic corner for the rest of my life and waving, “Hi, we’re having fun over here,”’ Russell said. ‘I’m really interested in this kind of food being available to everybody under the basic principle: enough for everyone, always.’”

JOHn Bunker, apple specialist and purveyor of Super Chilly Farm, in Palermo, told this story: “ A few years ago we built a new house on our farm. My wife, Cammy, and I decided to invite our friends over for a work party to help shingle the house; in a sense we’d be wrapping the house in love and friendship. Russell showed up and positioned himself at the most prominent, visible spot on the outside of the house — right as you walk up the driveway. Russell was always surrounded by people, and so soon he was shingling away, with a group of young people, up under the eaves of the

living room. But he kept looking up while talking and bonking his head on the eaves.

So, he pulled out a shingle and wrote ‘# of times Russell has bonked his head’ and started making hash marks. By the end of the day, there must have been 10 or 12 hash marks. I kept that shingle and put it up in my shop.”

Jim Gerritsen, of Wood Prairie Farm, made sure to point out how politically important Libby was: “He was committed to what he believed in — that farmers and fishermen could provide good food to their communities without hurting anyone . . . He had this confidence that the right way would percolate to the top, despite corporate greed and pressures.”

Gardening maven BArBArA DAmrOsCH, whose new book The Four Season Farm Gardener’s Cookbook (Workman Publishing, 2013), co-authored with her husband, Eliot Coleman, had this remembrance: “He had a great laugh — a deep throated chuckle that grew — I always thought that his laugh was like a train leav-

ing the station.”

Though it would be great to end here with Libby’s laugh, it seems more apt, somehow, to close with Libby’s own words, written in a poem called “Waiting for Sam to Finish a Phone Call, September 11, 2001.”

I hope the waitress doesn’t offer me water again because I’m not sure I could accept that kindness without all the walls falling away, and I’m not quite ready to cry in front of a stranger.

Many strangers and friends have cried since Russell Libby died. But these warm and present stories keep him here, guiding Mainers into perpetuity.

f BaD plus, at USM’s Hannaford Hall, in Portland on Feb 17. thursday 14 NO FIGHTING | You can build a house of love on many different plots — trust, humor, foot fetishes — but one of the most fertile grounds is mystery. Take the dinner-and-a-movie route if you like, but one of the surest ways to enshrine your Valentine’s Day with enduring memories is to attack it via an unconventional route. Try, then, whisking away your lover from their desk job and bringing them to USM, where Chef Del Torre cooks up soul food, and jazz singers lorraine BohlanD and olivia Crupi join pianist Terry FosTer for a celebration of African-American History Month (5:30 pm and free at the campus Wishcamper Center, 44 Bedford St. in Portland. 207.780.4006). Or better yet, cancel the day’s labors and start that effort earlier, joining the one Billion rising rally and march to end violence against women, which starts 12:30 at Monument Square and leads to a long soiree, with performances at USM (1:30-4) and the porTlanD Flea-For-all (6:30, 125 Kennebec St.). In the evening, there’s a zesty music and poetry event

at Pepperclub with Portland Poet Laureate MarTin sTeingesser and friends (6:30 on, 78 Middle St, 207.772.0531), and a reading and benefit for incarcerated Russian feminist group Pussy Riot at longFellow Books (7 pm, 1 Monument Way, 207.772.4045).

If you plan to hit up one of the night’s many dance spots later on, you might better withstand a cheesy affair at anThony’s Dinner TheaTer, which offers a four-course Italian meal along with some old school Rat Pack theatrics, at 7 ($40, 151 Middle St., 207.774.8668). The bonus upside of kicking it with Sinatra and Co. is that you won’t get burned out on modern club hits — they’ll be spinning en masse at Flask courtesy of DJs nan’l, Marieke vi, graCe syMMeTriCal, and TreMenDous CreaM (9 pm and free, 117 Spring St., 207.772.3122) — wear sequins.

Elsewhere, DJ kurT Baker fashions a mod night from the evening’s themes at Empire (9 pm and free, 575 Congress St., 207.879.8988), Jaw geMs and MoDel airplane tease out some of love’s funkier rhythms at the Big Easy (8 pm, $8, 55 Market St., 207.774.2266), and, most audaciously, local burlesque dancer

tonight. This isn’t a statement of quality, but the band’s draw usually positions them at more refined venues, so for diehards this could represent a treat. PSC play with the Irish-punk big band the puBCrawlers and the peCan sanDies, a local ska band reviewed on page 18. 9 pm; $5.

LOCAL ROOTS | Six local personalities gather for this edition Telling Room’s “slanT” storytelling series. Speaking on the theme of “Roots” will be writer Jaed Coffin, Salt Institute director Donna Galluzzo, musician and archivist Nathan Salsburg, Genna Cherichello of Eat Local Foods Coalition of Maine, arts producer Nick Bloom, and writer and teacher Jim McCarthy. 7 pm, $8 sugg. donation at SPACE Gallery, 538 Congress St. 207.828.5600.

BEIN’ LOVE | But it’s likely the Big Easy making the evening’s biggest splash. In a publicity campaign last fall, the organization playing For Change, playing For Maine (which efforts to provide disadvantaged youth with musical instruments) released a video for “Be in Love,” a song by local songwriter Dominic Lavoie as covered by scores of local musicians in patchworked clips. With that video surpassing 50,000 YouTube views last week, the coalition reconvenes in full tonight as a double-header. With help from the Maine Academy of Modern Music, they do an all ages show with student bands

from 6-8 ($10), and short sets by a huge group of contributing artists, including Amanda Gervasi, Chas Lester, the Fogcutters, and many more at 9 ($15).

saturday 16 UPSTAIRS/DOWNSTAIRS |

With its ability to host shows both above and below, the Asylum is an attraction for two very different cross-sections of music appreciation tonight. Up, there’s the young heartland country icon Joanna sMiTh, while in the basement, three DJs-of-color (niCoTine, Mike ClouDs, and Don DaMiani) spin hip hop and hard-hitting house. 9 pm. $11-14 up; down free at 121 Center St., 207.772.8274.

CROSSROADS REVISITED | As an observance of African-American History Month, the Strand Theatre screens the classic documentary film The Search for roberT JohnSon, which explores the turbulent life and mysterious death of the legendary Delta bluesman through folklore and interviews with fellow bluesmen. Accompanied by a discussion with North Atlantic Blues Festival director Paul Benjamin at 8 pm. $8.50 at 345 Main St., 207.594.0070.

POWER UP | Through vintage analog instruments and a sincere appreciation of late-century

holly Danger gathers a rousing troupe of counter-normative dance and gender performers, who aim to subvert the holiday’s most banal ceremonies with selections by DJ Nocturnal in a program titled “viCTrola vixen’s valenTine Burlesque” at Geno’s (9 pm, $10-12, 625 Congress St., 207.221.2382).

friday 15 SPEAK IT | No matter how your night played out, you’ll be better equipped for a lecture by local artist Derek JaCkson, titled “I Want Sex,” at MECA’s Osher Hall.

As you might gather from his title, the visual art of Jackson, also the singer of art-rock band Hi Tiger, is fearless, provocative, and bracingly physical.

The young MECA lecture series continues through April 18; this one’s at 6 pm. 522 Congress St., visit meca.edu/news.

FROM THE GUT | It’s fairly noteworthy that radio-rock group paranoiD soCial CluB, the popular, hard-edged project of Rustic Overtones frontman Dave Gutter, play the divey stage at Geno’s

f kirTan soul revival, at New Church, in Portland on Feb 17.

art Postcards from the conscience NAtAshA MAyers’s wide-rANgiNg visioN _by br ittA K oNAu For outspoken artist and activist Natasha Mayers, art, politics, and life are seamlessly interconnected for mutual benefit. She was one of the movers behind the protests that erupted when Governor LePage ordered the “History of Maine Labor” mural removed, and Robert Shetterly included her in his series of portraits, “Americans Who Tell the Truth.” Her moral indignation is not aimed at one particular injustice, but encompasses a wide range of wrongs, including climate change, war, torture, censorship, and more generally, the unaccountability of those who wield power. While some may hold this generalized attitude against her, there is no reason for that. Her politics is a stance rather than an opinion, a concern for the social and political welfare of all humans, rather than a narrowly defined community.

While “World Banksters: A Selection of Recent On-Going Banksters Postcards by Natasha Mayers” at SPACE Gallery centers on injustice and indifference in the financial sector, its scope is all-embracing. As control and power are major themes in this work, it is of no small irony that the latest snowstorm undermined much of the human planning, art installations included. Thus, at writing, “World Banksters” was not yet in its place. It will consist of over 200 postcards which Mayers altered by painting her universal symbol for predatory financiers on them: predominantly headless men in suits and ties. These generic stand-ins actually seem heedless, bodiless, empty shells of greed and disregard.

A large, central grid of cards is comprised of thematic subsets, with additional cards grouped and scattered around it.

Mayers started painting banksters in 2010 and switched to postcards only last year.

Their imagery includes locals famous and obscure, subjects exotic and domestic, and includes art images and oddities from all over the world. Postcards used to be ubiquitous

f

reminders of the interconnectedness of the vast world around us, giving each subject equal value, whether the dull interior of a motel room or the Taj Mahal. Mayers has cunningly integrated her suited men into the given images to incongruous, often surreal effect, “in every possible situation, where you least expect them,” as her statement says. The relationships between source images and banksters often remain vague but of course the Capitol and White House wear varying incarnations of the suit — what would be more logical than that? And Mount Rushmore has company too. Banksters interfering with reproductive rights? Gustave Courbet’s “The Origin of the World” now has a little man sitting on the model’s thigh, guarding her genitalia. Another rides on a Scooby-Doo float during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. And two gargantuan faces lurk behind a range of mountains possibly suggesting environmental problems. In one painting fishing boats are surrounded by seagulls looking awfully cute in their suits.

In Mayers’s vision the symbol is all-pervasive; you might even pull up a turnip, and there they are: tie and pants fixed on its body.

Mayers sees her postcard paintings as “comments on capitalism, post-colonialism, globalization, cultural appropriation, cultural authenticity and differences, sexism, etc.” Relief from the relentlessness of social injustices is provided by the welcome silliness of many images. Otherwise this would be a stringently moralistic installation leaving the viewer with nausea instead of recognition and buoyancy. Mayers also succeeds in conveying compassion for these characters, the intimation that even they are nothing but pawns. ^

books Eats roots and lEavEs

new guide goes froM arrowhead to yuCa _By Lau r a MC Cand L ish If you want to eat more local produce come winter in Maine, you have to learn to love root vegetables. It’s no chore.

A rainbow of storage beets, tri-color carrots, watermelon radishes, rutabagas, and, of course, potatoes (tubers, and anything else that grows underground counts here) abound at the Brunswick farmers’ market, even into February. My new favorite is the ugly duckling celeriac, which is nutty and sweet, almost like fresh artichoke hearts, when roasted. This gnarly, dirt-crusted ball, cultivated for its starchy root rather than its stalk, is in fact related to wild celery, a member of the parsley family (which also has a root variety).

The unfamiliar celery root, and even more obscure burdock, gave birth to a beautiful new tome, Roots: The Definitive Compendium with more than 225 Recipes. It’s widely praised as one of the best cookbooks of 2012, and is written by veteran food writer Diane Morgan, based in the other Portland. (There are also vivid botanical photographs by Antonis Achilleos and a lyrical foreword by vegetable expert Deborah Madison, invoking metaphors of rootedness and getting back to our roots.)

A weekly trip to the farmers’ market inspired Morgan. As she reached for that celery root, a woman asked, “What is that?”

Morgan described how she cubes celeriac for soup, mashes it like potatoes (with twice a potato’s iron and five times its dietary fiber, to boot), and tosses chunks in olive oil, salt, and pepper, for high-heat roasting. At the same stand, Morgan finds herself perplexed by a scraggly brown root she learns is burdock, a Japanese delicacy and herbal remedy in Chinese medicine. She then realized we needed this book to guide us through this “underworld” of vegetables that swell beneath the dirt.

Despite its locavore ethos, Morgan’s Roots is a true global primer, an alphabetical index of everything from Andean tubers to lotus root to Caribbean malanga (American taro)

and fresh wasabi. And don’t forget regular horseradish root, which is not just for Passover, but a food trend to watch: see Morgan’s recipe for horseradish-potato gnocchi.

Her radish section alone includes common table radishes; Asian ones such as long, white daikon; and black-skinned, hearty Russian radishes. With a nod to frugality, Morgan encourages us to embrace the roots’ often-discarded greens. See her recipes for radish green soup and salsa verde, carrot top pesto and vegetarian Creole gumbo z’herbes with turnip greens, traditionally served on Good Friday.

So what defines a root vegetable? Surprisingly, Morgan reveals kohlrabi — actually a swollen, above-ground brassica stem — is not one. Her vast book focuses on tap roots, tuberous roots, corms (think water chestnuts), stem tubers. and even rhizomes. Morgan includes recipes for fresh, whole ginger, turmeric and galangal, all now grown in hoop houses by enterprising farmers here in Maine (see “Taking Root,” by Laura McCandlish, November 9, 2012). Alliums, edible buds like garlic and onions, would require another book, though they feature in most of the savory recipes.

This book gives you the confidence to blindly select any unusual root at a farm’s stand or ethnic market. I promise — Morgan will arm you with recipes for it. She includes ideas for every meal of the day and every course on the menu. Morgan encourages us to root cellar and pickle these vegetables (even Jerusalem artichokes) at harvest for the lean months to come.

Music

hip hop Golden beats altered Gee diG the past aNd turN up treasure _by N icho l a s s chro e d e r The experience of modern music is synonymous with nostalgia.

Whether personal or cultural, it helps to augment or contextualize the ideas of an artist, which can align them with, or distinguish them from, others working with similar themes.

If successful, this might trace a unique three-dimensional relationship between artist, listener, and epoch. If otherwise, it registers as a sort of vague and shticky aesthetic gesture, often toward a social milieu the musicians have merely read about.

Count the new work

by Portland instrumental funk duo Altered Gee among the former. Created with an armory of vintage analog instruments, a deep repository of musical appreciation, and an airtight aesthetic derived convincingly from actual experience, Rise From Yr Grave is an ecstatically original document of noisy, spirited, beat-driven, retrofuturist electronic music, so specific and consistent in its nods backward that listeners have no choice but to observe that its nostalgia has significance.

The group’s touchstone reference point, of course, is the 16-bit Sega game Altered Beast, a sort of Double Dragon set in the mythical landscape of ancient Greece.

Yet it would hardly seem noteworthy if Altered Gee simply made video game music. The mass domestication of gaming consoles in the late ’80s and early ’90s created conditions whereby a generation of young people (generally male) became uniquely well acquainted with music — often alternative or hip hop or indie — in the confines of their bedrooms, quite possibly with a few power-ups of their own.

There was no Internet (at the very least, it was dial-up), so exposure to art and entertainment required a greater investment and deeper listening that seem wholly quaint now. Nearly everything about the music of Altered Gee invokes these conditions. And whether you played ToeJam and Earl to Daydream Nation or Altered Beast to The Chronic, the principle is the same.

It’s possible to view all of the formal musical insights of Rise From Yr Grave — and there are plenty — through this grainy, 16-bit lens. Indeed, it’s quite like these two dudes — who have been known as Slouch and Kee Jr. Dee Jay and credited here as Roach Dad and Young Prince — are playing a constructivist hip hop version of some two-player cooperative shoot ’em up. On “Young Guns Who Hate Holsters,” Roach Dad hammers out a hopscotch-y beat on a SP-1200 drum machine as Young Prince kicks out some wailing,

MENTHOL

f

G-funk-style sirens on the Siel organ (both instruments, notably, made in the ’80s).

In addition to the warm feel of the analog sounds, there’s a distinctly human pulse propelling each track, from the expressively fat-bottomed Moog basslines in “Gawdz Hands” to the chirpy and lurchingly imperfect synth bars of “Dukes of Stagger.”

The LP’s second half takes on a more ruminative quality, letting go of the wiretight beats in favor of roomier, more expansive jams. On “Gold Chain,” the only track that might conceivably anchor a vocal, a particularly swaggering beat is besieged by minimalist synth lines, which betray a melodicism that might have been forged by early aughties IDM. The serene “Slipper the Finger” leads a straight piano line into an expansive, meandering synth wash, and “Lost Hit,” a track that seems to defy perfect execution, ends the record on purely psychedelic terms.

And psychedelia is useful. Because nostalgia is notoriously myopic, it’s therefore important to open the mind.

It’s no secret that video games have been tools to acquaint American youth with the logic of military thinking. In fact, Sega itself was contracting US weapons manufacturer Martin Marietta for military information technology around the time Altered Beast came as a pack-in cartridge for the Genesis console. And it only gets deeper from there. Consider, then, Rise From Yr Grave a soundtrack to what happens when the military-entertainment complex backfires. These men have trained their fingers on various triggers for years, yet have powered-up to create a record of blissful, progressive music that invites congregation. I don’t know what you march to, but that’s a beat that could go on forever. ^

LfCAL MUSIC

A solid description of piracy: a job where ‘murder makes you an expert in your field.’

Space-d oUt on WMPG

Horns of plenty

HutcH Heelan’S Stuck in tHe middle witH you For a guy who seems pretty reserved in interpersonal interactions, Hutch Heelan can be a high-profile guy. He popped up in January on WMPG’s Local Motives to play tunes off his brandnew Inner Space Odyssey, both live and actual album tracks, and I found myself listening to the entire 90 minutes. Josh Lovejoy — curator of the Maine Music Wiki and the guy who put out that To the Moon, to the Stars benefit album last year — hosts, as he often has since Jan Wilkinson stepped away last year.

(Extended sidenote: LocalMotives.org is a treasure trove of performances, including stuff they’ve been pulling out of the archives lately like performances by Twitchboy, Colepitz, and Lincolnville.

The last from 1997, two years before Black Box, but with a very nice “Medicate Luck.” Go there.)

In the exchanges between Josh and Hutch, many of them populated by periods where neither knows what to say next, there is plenty to inform the listener of Heelan’s work: His first true love was Primus; he does things just to be different; he actually ate a Shire Sausage at Denny’s. (Also, Josh believes The Bends to be the best Radiohead album; I’d take everything afterward over that.)

Actually, Odyssey isn’t as all over the map and willfully unique as his debut Mercury Music. Heelan is certainly a better singer now, with a resonant delivery in the chorus of “In the Middle of Somewhere” that really sets the hook and a playful come on in “Coffee Crush.” He can ape his old bandmand, too, with pop rock cadences like Pete Kilpatrick.

Heelan is still well outside most of what you’re hearing today, though, bringing in late-’80s Cure and REM at times and generally teaming with producer Jonathan Wyman to play guitar tones off of one another in pleasing ways (Tony McNaboe played drums, but Heelan did much of everything else here). “Eyes of a Child” has a great repeating western riff on the acoustic while distortion fills in the harmony piece in the left channel. And maybe

Heelan’s best lyric: “The world’s spinning faster now than it did back then.”

Other times, the lyrics can get a bit clumsy: “Just like sunshine, shining on my face/Warming me from outside to my inner space/I almost lose it, every time I see your face.” I dunno. There’s also a falsetto in “Fear of Failure” I’m not sure about.

All told, though, Heelan is a unique voice who makes you pay attention. Odyssey is definitely a trip. ^

Crowdsourcing tradition

F maine folk musician dAVe Rowe hit and surpassed his $2000 Kickstarter goal last week, setting the stage for a new record of his classic, deeply regionally inflected folk tunes. With the money, he intends to employ a whole entourage of maine musicians, and — gasp — pay them for their efforts. rowe, of course, has been involved in local music since he could hold down a fret. the son of the late Schooner Fare songwriter tom rowe, he’s played with the makem brothers, ’90s acts rowe by rowe and turkey hollow, and more recently the Squid JiGGeRS, an active duo who keep a Wednesday night residency at bull Feeney’s. and while formally

there’s a fairly continuous line of ska-influenced local horn bands, from early rustic overtones to the bottle rocket Kings to the taxis to that’s What She Said to, well, the pecan Sandies (yes, that’s the name of Frank’s band on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), who this week release their debut ep, therapy, with a healthy dose of staccato trumpet-and-trombone and manic travis Spear bass parts that make you feet like your Vans turned to roller skates. the opening “pirate Song” might be the album’s weakest, with a put-on growled lead from harry Gingrich that alternates with a cleaner take and a heavy-handed mix that makes the guitar solo rise from the ocean and then sink like a submarine. that solo’s a fast classic rock that turns the song on its ear, though, and describing piracy as a job where “murder makes you an expert in your field” is solid songwriting. then “Safety First” is a top-five song so far this year, in among the lady lambs and Severe Joys and phantom buffalos, just a great tune about being a kid with a girlfriend, where it’s us against the world, but we know it really ain’t that bad: “every little sound brings us closer/to the fear of what happens when they get near.” Gingrich’s vocal melody in the open is picked up and carried forward by a quick kick drum from nick Spear before the full band enters. corey Gilman’s sunshiney electric guitar to open the straightforward appeal of “in my bed” is like something off The OC (i consider that a compliment; ryan atwood was a textured character), ray bans on and unsentimental: “i don’t care what you’re doing, i don’t care who you’re screwing . . . just be there in my bed tonight.” matt brennen turns a trumpet solo like a bugle call and it all somehow smacks of camper van beethoven. brennen and chuck Key’s trombone up the vamp to toasters chic on “the creeps,” with a duran duran reference in the chorus and an unsettling way of being lewd in a charming way. “al capone” gets further pop-referential. how do these kids know about inspector Gadget? this child of the ’80s appreciated it, but it’s a fun album even without the hijinks. these are entertaining songs delivered with a good bit of sweat, and it’s hard not to get wrapped up in it. ^

speaking, his particular brand of folk might be atypical Wax tab fare, we can totally appreciate someone who’s so dedicated his life to the labors of music-making and oral tradition. look for the cd to be finished late summer, and check for more rowe info at daverowemusic.com.

F add jazzman Rob SchReibeR to Zen ben, asher platts, and the rest of the storied list of portland musicians who have become local politicians. the Standard issue drummer vies for a gig as South portland district 1 city councilor next month, and campaigns on, among other agenda items, the goal of reducing the noise of party boats along the harbor.

F besides their big release by “electronic phonk” duo AlteRed Gee (read a full review of their Rise From Yr Grave on page 17), l’AnimAux tRySt continues its grand project of fomenting local psychedelia with releases by the experimental folk project dRAb Pony (the cassette-only release Bulbul) and the hot am-radio fuzz of tRAcey tRAnce (the lp Pyper Kub). the label has had a relatively dormant few months while moving its hQ, but these are major howls from a seemingly revived beast. check them out at lanimauxtryst.com.

F While he runs with a different pack these days, former l’animaux affiliate iAn PAiGe gave life to a solo record this week, a limited cassette of a dreamer called Poor Palimpsest, which flips the levers of pure drone far more than the fuzz-folk in his primary unit planets around the Sun. enjoyable, unfettered, and occasionally ecstatically doomed musique concrete.

COLIN FARRELL! Every group of friends has that guy in it who complains about every activity that’s decided upon, makes cruel fun of everyone, pays for as little as humanly possible, and gets pissed off at the drop of a hat about almost nothing. Yet he stealthily releases just enough rakish charm to keep him worth associating with, and as much as you wish he’d die or at the very least relocate, the idea of your group of friends without him just doesn’t make any sense. Well, the famous version of that guy is Colin Farrell, and he’s in this week’s thoroughly enjoyable “Seven Psychopaths” as well as the following!

Pride and Glory – Take it from me: the ideal way to experience this unsubtle cop movie is to happen upon it at 3 AM on HBO at a Days Inn while waiting for your sister-in-law to finish giving birth and for your iPhone to recharge so you can go back to watching old Jane Fonda workouts on YouTube. It’s pretty damn great under those circumstances. Otherwise I can’t vouch for it.

In Bruges – That aforementioned unlikable friend will come to your rescue at some point, most unexpectedly. You’ll have made an offhand, seemingly harmless remark to a hotheaded stranger in a bar, said stranger will take offense and will proceed to serve your buttocks to you on a silver platter, whether you ordered your buttocks or not. The Unlikable Friend will persuade your assailant to stand down, through verbiage or fisticuffs as needed. You will make a decision about the Unlikable Friend that night. “In Bruges” was that moment for me and Colin Farrell. Previously I’d found him to be a strangely irritating thug relying on his looks, but pair him with writer-director Martin McDonagh, and you’ve got the beginnings of a second-tier De Niro/Scorsese thing in the works. It’s smart, it’s funny, it’s entertaining, and it’s a little bit silly. It’s hard to go wrong with it.

Humanity is like stew beef What are you going to do With it? _By Lin ds a y s t e rL in g It was afternoon. I had just taught a cooking class at Portland High School and was carrying loads of gear out to my car when the school door locked behind me with half my stuff still inside.

A black woman, covered from head to toe in flowing dress and headscarf, came up from the street and tried the door. We looked at one another and smiled. Both locked out, I guess. Her English wasn’t fluent, but we understood one another just fine. “Where are you from?” I asked.

“Somalia.” She said. When I asked her if she’d teach me how to cook a Somali meal sometime, she said immediately, “Yes. I cook every day.”

The complete absence of waffling was stunning. You mean you’re not busy?

You’re not concerned to be hanging out with someone who is wearing Calvin Klein skinny jeans and whose neck skin and hair are showing? Who is, by the look of things, neither Muslim or African?

We live in a nation of mutual respect for differences, but personal invitations to interact with people of different cultural, socioeconomic, religious, and racial backgrounds are still extremely rare. Let’s face

f

it: we tend to hang out with people who are like us. Maybe that’s because we hate to be judged. To my close friends, my clothes say nothing other than I’m having a good day or a bad day. To some conservative Muslims, my clothes might say I look like an immodest evildoer who is going to hell on Judgment Day. But forget that, this woman said without saying, let’s cook together. And I loved her for it.

She taught me how to make chapati (a flatbread common in East Africa and South Asia), which in her family always is served with a stew of beef and root vegetables. (The all-together concept is sort of like “pizza” or “pizza with cheese.”) While we cooked in her Portland condo, nine of her kids were at school, the oldest was upstairs, and the three-year-old was bowling with potatoes on the kitchen floor.

First she cooked a pound of stew beef in water for about 45 minutes with salt, ground cumin, coriander, and Vegeta, a seasoning blend of dehydrated onions, carrots, and parsnips. When the meat was almost tender and the water almost boiled away, she added carrot rounds and slices of potato and green pepper. Soon the wa-

ter completely disappeared, leaving a meat and vegetable medley, ready to be scooped up by her family with not forks or spoons, but pieces of homemade flatbread.

amour is less _B y p ete r ke o ug h

xxw aMOuR directed and written by michael haneke | with Jean-louis trintignant, emmanuelle riva, isabelle huppert, alexandre tharaud, william shimell, ramón agirre, and rita blanco | French | 127 minutes | sony classics NIckELODEON + EvENINGSTAR + RAILROAD SquARE

The master of bleakness,depravity, and bitter irony Michael Haneke has at last made an unabashedly romantic love story, and his most upbeat movie to date.

This doesn’t seem the case in the early going, as first responders cover their noses from the stench of a decomposing body. Nor will the film’s remorseless litany of decline, incapacity, despondency, and death leave you with an extra spring in your step. But before the tedious misery can drive you up the wall, a pigeon flies through a window and, with all the dumb innocence of an obvious symbol, refuses to fly away.

Two of the world’s best actors, JeanLouis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, play Amour’s octogenarian couple, so it’s

AMONG THE WORLD’S BEST AcTORS in a slow-moving tale of geriatric love and paralysis. surprising that the characters aren’t very interesting. Riva plays Anne, a former piano teacher, and Trintignant is her husband, Georges, also a retired musician. Except for in the opening

scene in a concert hall, the two don’t get out much, nor does the movie; it’s shot almost entirely in the couple’s apartment, the pair’s solitude broken only by rare visits from their daughter

Eva (Isabelle Huppert), Anne’s former student Alexandre (Alexandre Tharaud), the concierge and his wife, who bring groceries, and a few others. Nobody seems very comfortable, and they don’t stay very long.

Haneke, however, does, and meticulously depicts lives so uneventful that when Anne freezes practically in mid-sentence from a stroke, it takes a while for Georges, and the viewer, to notice anything amiss. As her condition deteriorates, Georges cares for her obsessively, firing the nurses, whose work he finds “unprofessional,” massaging her pale legs, lugging her to the toilet, and putting off his promise to pull out a pillow and end it all.

Very romantic. Or maybe not. Is it a film about geriatric love or about the paralysis of bourgeois existence — a less pathological version of Haneke’s The Piano Teacher (2001), in which Huppert, in the title role, plays the oppressed daughter of another burdensome woman? Or maybe of The Seventh Continent (1988), in which a normal middle-class family lock themselves in their home, systematically destroy everything they possess, and then kill themselves? In fact, many of Haneke’s films depict the self-immolation of a stifling social unit. As such, Amour aspires to a romantic ideal of a different sort — the liberation of the individual from all social ties, including those of love. ^

Puzzle solution at ooM thePhoenix.coM/recr

_by syMbo line Da i Many people find the time of the first quarter moon both relaxing and productive. You have the energy to initiative new projects, without the pressure of a deadline. You also have the time to evaluate options, which is no small thing in a binary world. This week also brings a solar shift from sun in Aquarius to Pisces. If you’re having a birthday this week, you’re born on the cusp (hint, did you know I have a book, Astrology on the Cusp for you?).

Birthday folks this week are high-minded, sensitive, and concerned about the down-trodden. More about astrology and readings at moonsigns.net. I’ll answer questions at asksymboline.blogspot.com.

Waxing moon in taurus. a fine day for being acquisitive (greedy), or loving beauty. even the most tone-deaf will crave melody or harmony. taurus moons are also excellent for dealing with banking matters — exactly how diligent are you about monitoring your online finances? take the time today. aries, Sagittarius, libra, Gemini, taurus, capricorn, Virgo, cancer, pisces: if you’re dealing with someone needlessly stubborn — move on. leo, Scorpio, and aquarius: if you’re not feeling the “magic,” don’t force an issue.

Waxing moon in taurus. Stubbornness is such a pleasure.

Scorpio, leo, and aquarius: it’s a “clowns to the left of me/jokers to the right” kind of day.

First quarter moon in taurus; moon void-of-course 3:31 pm until 4:50 pm, when it moves into Gemini. a turning point for events that happened on or around February 10. another fine day for making costly purchases, or investing in items that are meant to last. taurus moons help us appreciate beauty, wherever we find it; so listen up, aries, Sagittarius, libra, Gemini. taurus, capricorn, Virgo, cancer, pisces. Financial anxiety could afflict leo, Scorpio, and aquarius.

Waxing moon in aries; moon void-of-course 10:36 pm until 5:08 am Friday. happy Valentine’s day! romances in the early stages will seem fresh and new, as aries moons encourage risk-taking and initiative. aries, Sagittarius, leo, libra, aquarius, and Gemini: say what you mean to a loved one. taurus, capricorn, Virgo, cancer, Scorpio, pisces: put the past away — especially if you feel it’s controlling your present responses.

Waxing moon in Gemini; sun moves into pisces; Saturn retrogrades; president’s day. Short errands, brief encounters is what you want. Writing and editing, or making putting large projects into a simple sequence of steps is also advised. confrontation could make things spicy for Virgo, pisces, and Sagittarius. exaggeration could be an unexpected pleasure for aries, libra, Gemini. taurus, capricorn, cancer, aquarius, Scorpio, and leo.

Waxing moon in Gemini; moon void-of-course 1:48 pm until 5:45 am Wednesday. differing opinions are fun for some, and what seems so important and meaningful now will dwindle quickly in significance. aries, libra, Gemini. taurus, capricorn, cancer, aquarius, Scorpio, leo: keep it light, but be sensitive to an audience that could misread flippancy. Sagittarius, pisces, and Virgo: you’ll want to tell everyone all about your feelings — don’t.

27

Waxing moon in cancer. this moon concerns loyalty and domesticity — being “at-home,” versus “out in the world.” if you hear your couch singing a siren song, you’re in tune with the moon, particularly for capricorn, aries, and libra. Gemini, leo, cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, pisces, aquarius, and Sagittarius: being defensive, especially if you perceive injustice, is not a bad thing.

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.
