Letter from the editor
Since I’ve been here at the Weekender, the second week of July usually means we spend a long and hot day at the Vans Warped Tour. At first, our time at Warped was talking to festivalgoers, watching performances from the dozens of bands on the bill, stopping at many of the vendor and band tents and just taking the whole darn thing in. Last year, though, the Weekender got in on the action and had some performances and band signings of our own on the party deck near the entrance to the lawn. When this year’s Warped hits Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain Thursday, July 14, we’re going even bigger on our deck, teaming with our cousins up at Go Lackawanna to present autograph signings with bands like I Set My Friends On Fire, Miss May, Dance Gavin Dance and locals Motionless In White. As if that’s not enough, we’ll also have acoustic performances and meet and greets from Every Avenue, River City Extension, Street Dogs, Terrible Things, Shut Up & Deal, D.R.U.G.S., Go Radio, MC Lars with Weerd
social
Science and Kyle Demko of Always Undecided. To get in on the action, all you have to do is stop by our party deck and hang out. I’ll be there, decked out in our new fangled T-shirts, to give away some swag and revel in a day of music under the summer sun. To see times, updates, photos, videos and more live from Warped, visit www.weekenderNEPA.tumblr.com. In this week’s issue, see pages 33, 38-39 and 42 to learn more about some of the bands on this year’s bill, including how some of them feel about playing the festival. Hope to see you all up on the mountain Thursday, and as always, thanks for reading! Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

THE ARISTOCRATS! (1) Brent Kendall, 31, was arrested in June in Coralville, Iowa, and charged with criminal mischief after he allegedly reacted to a domestic quarrel with his live-in girlfriend by cutting up items of her clothing and urinating on her bed and computer. (2) An employee of Bed, Bath and Beyond at the St. David’s Square shopping center in Radnor, Pa., reported to
police on June 5 that, for the second time in two weeks, he had come across a bag (estimated to weigh about 35 pounds) behind the store, filled with human vomit.
before police caught him, but he was not wanted for anything, either. (Both men, however, face new charges -- trespassing for Volmer, and child endangerment for Dempsey.)
CRIMINALS WITH CHUTZPAH It was a 2004 gang-related murder that had frustrated Los Angeles police for four years until a homicide investigator, paging through gangbangers’ photographs for another case, spotted an elaborate tattoo on the chest of Anthony Garcia. Evidently, that 2004 killing was such a milestone in Garcia’s life that he had commemorated the liquor store crime scene on his chest. The investigation was reopened, eventually leading to a surreptitious confession by Garcia and, in April 2011, to his conviction for first-degree murder. (Photos from Garcia’s several bookings between 2004 and 2008 show his mural actually evolving as he added details — until the crime scene was complete enough that the investigator recognized it.)
RECURRING THEMES (1) People sometimes have illicit sex in cemeteries, and when they get really aggressive, tombstones may fall over on top of them. (A randy 39-yearold woman was injured in Hamilton, N.J., in June after a gravestone rolled onto her leg at the Ahavath Israel Cemetery.) (2) Motorists who stop along the side of the road at night to relieve themselves are often not careful enough. (In May, a specialty unit from the Renton, Wash., Fire Department was required in order to rescue a urinator who accidentally fell down a 30-foot embankment in south King County and was trapped for several hours.)
LEAST COMPETENT NON-CRIMINALS In May, in Rensselaer, N.Y., and in June, in Bluefield, W.Va., two men, noticing that police were investigating nearby, became alarmed and fled out of fear of being arrested since both were certain that there were active warrants out on them. Nicholas Volmer, 21, eventually “escaped” into the Hudson River and needed to be rescued, but the police were after someone else, and no warrant was on file against him. Arlis Dempsey Jr., 32, left his three kids on the street in Bluefield to make a run for it
A NEWS OF THE WEIRD CLASSIC (NOVEMBER 1992) A 38-year-old man, unidentified in news reports, was hospitalized in Princeton, W. Va., in October (1992) with gunshot wounds. He had been drinking beer and reported accidentally shooting himself three times — as he attempted to clean each of his three guns. He said the first shot didn’t hurt, the second “stung a little,” and the third “really hurt,” prompting him to call an ambulance.

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION! -- In June, as five young men gathered around the Mount Tabor Reservoir near Portland, Ore., one urinated in it, thus “contaminating” the 7.2 million gallons that serve the city, and, said Water Bureau administrator David Shaff, necessitating that the entire supply be dumped. Under questioning by the weekly Portland Mercury whether the water is also dumped when an animal urinates in it (or worse, dies in it), Shaff replied, certainly not. “If we did that, we’d be (dumping the water) all the time.” Well, asked the reporter, what’s the difference? Because, said Shaff (sounding confident of his logic), “Do you want to be drinking someone’s pee?” -- A 53-year-old man committed suicide in May by wading into San Francisco Bay, 150 yards offshore, and standing neck-deep until he died in the 60-degree water, with police and firefighters from the city of Alameda watching from shore the entire time. Said a police lieutenant, “We’re not trained to go into the water (and) don’t have the type of equipment that you would use ....” KGO-TV attributed the reluctance to budget cuts that prevented the city’s firefighters from being recertified in water rescues.
POLICE REPORT: Gregory Snelling, 41, was indicted in June for the robbery of a KeyBank branch in Springfield, Ohio, which was notable more for the foot chase with police afterward. They caught him, but Snelling might deserve “style” points for the run, covered as he was in red dye from the money bag and the fact that he was holding a beer in his hand during the entire chase.

s the space shuttle Atlantis lifted off last week, I couldn’t help but think about the progress technology has made in the past 30 years. In the bittersweet moment of seeing Atlantis safely off on its final mission — the final mission of the entire space shuttle program — I thought about where games, computers, communications and other technologies were at the time. The laser disc, the Atari 2600, the IBM TRS-80, the Apple II — these were all late ’70s/early ’80s technologies that were sitting on the cutting edge, promising a breakthrough to a whole new world at the dawn of the information age. Everything was getting smaller, faster and better. The world itself was shrinking. Even as the shuttle gave us a whole new way to work and explore outer space, we were finding new ways to work and explore inner space. We were able to communicate with the globe in seconds rather than minutes, transmit and transfer large amounts of data for cheaper than ever, and we were doing it with devices that were small enough to fit right in our own homes. Of course, these days, we’d find such technology embarrassingly inadequate. In fact, it feels cliche to point out how powerful cell phones have become in comparison to those early desktop computers. But just because something is old doesn’t mean it’s bad. Likewise, just because a computer isn’t powerful — by today’s standards — doesn’t mean it’s useless. While it’s true that the shuttle’s main computer operates on about 1 megabyte of RAM, that’s only because it doesn’t need any more than that. While the number of things that need to be monitored, adjusted and calculated during something as complex as a launch sequence would boggle the mind of the person at the helm of that gargantuan beast, for
Things we take for granted — cell phones, GPS, global television broadcasts, satellite radio and even video games — wouldn’t be possible if we didn’t have a space program.
We’re playing with toys based on the same technology that once developed weapons of mass destruction. a computer, all it’s doing is executing a bunch of codes and commands that fit in about the same space as a minute’s worth of music. To put it another way, it would be almost as embarrassing to look at what exactly we do with our nigh-omnipotent devices. Would you use a big rig, 18wheel tractor trailer to deliver one letter? When you think about it, using an iPhone to send a text message is about the same thing. The most taxing thing we do with our modern computers is play video games. Think about how trivial and inconsequential that is compared to, say, strapping humans to a few billion dollars worth of parts and shooting them into outer space. Again, it’s kind of embarrassing, but no less amazing. The things we take for granted — cell phones, GPS, global television broadcasts, satellite radio and even video games — wouldn’t be possible if we didn’t
have a space program. We’re essentially wasting our lives away and patting ourselves on the back while not giving any thought to the fact that we wouldn’t have half the conveniences we do today if not for Cold-War technology developed more than half a century ago. They were sending rockets into space; we’re sending virtual birds into imaginary buildings. We’re playing with toys based on the same technology that once developed weapons of mass destruction. Then again, I’m much happier knowing that this is what became of it all; that we decided to play games instead of wiping ourselves out — so far. I’m taking this moment to pay homage to something wonderful that is quickly fading into history. We remember and learn from the tragic losses, but we are inspired by the astonishing achievements of the past 30 years. Here’s to the future, and what dreams may come. W

weekender@theweekender.com HONORING A LOCAL BASEBALL GREAT
The Baseball Reliquary, a Southern California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering an appreciation of American art and culture through the context of baseball history, is displaying “Patriotic Pitch: The Empire of Baseball,” through July 30 in Pasadena. Featured in the exhibit is NEPA native Pete Gray, who garnered national attention in 1944 when he batted .333 for the Memphis Chicks, hit five homeruns and stole 68 bases and was named the 1944 Southern League’s MVP. Gray, who lost his right arm in a childhood accident, made his Major League debut for the St. Louis Browns in 1945. The Baseball Reliquary will induct Gray, who passed way at his home in Nanticoke in 2002, into its Shrine of Eternals on Sunday, July 17 in Pasadena. For more info, visit baseballreliquary.org.

For Far East Movement, music is a way of life By Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Staff Writer
A
chieving substantial national attention in 2010 with the unyielding single, “Like A G6,” Far East Movement — Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif and DJ Virman — is riding the wave of excitement over its unconventional, downtown sound all the way to the top, and the group will be stopping in Scranton at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain with Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour Tuesday, July 19. The Weekender caught up with Kev Nish and Prohgress while they were in Cologne, Germany, with the tour to get the low-down on what keeps them wired. WEEKENDER: Your group has a very unique, fresh sound. How would you describe it, and how did you develop it? KEV NISH: We call our sound Free Wired. We grew up off our iPod playlists and the many different music scenes in Los Angeles, including hip-hop open mics, punk shows, Top 40 clubs and early-morning raves. We’d take all that into the studio and mash up it for each track. No one sound defined us until we started mashing it all up to make Free Wired. WEEKENDER: The Free Wired concept of staying connected to fans seems integral to the group. Why? PROHGRESS: Before we were signed, connecting with our fanbase online was what kept us alive and inspired. Now it plays an even larger role in what we do. It was the Free-Wired heads online that broke our single “Like a G6” and their organic plays online brought it to everyone’s attention. Free Wired is lifestyle, so being able to show all aspects of it directly to our online family is very important. WEEKENDER: When you write music, what is that process usually like? PROHGRESS: We’ll either bring an idea into the studio that was inspired by being at a club,
Far East Movement will hit Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain with Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music Tour” Tuesday, July 19. or growing up in L.A. From there we’ll come up with different sounds we want to blend together to get that feeling. Next we’ll usually write the hooks, verses and bridges together until it sounds like something we all dig. WEEKENDER: Has L.A. been a huge influence for the group? KEV: DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) has influenced every aspect of Far East Movement. All the clubs, music scenes and loft parties we threw influenced our sound and the diversity of our crew. Our DTLA crew is called The Transparent Agency, made from a bunch of outside-the-box Free Wired creative people in music, fashion, photography, filmmaking and design. It keeps everything we do … all organic, real and in-house. WEEKENDER: How did you get involved with Lil Wayne’s tour? PROHGRESS: We have to thank Lil Wayne and his management team for inviting us. We love the diverse line up and the “I Am Still Music” idea of diversity and eclecticness is what we were raised on. Wayne’s catalogue and ideas are always outside the box, so this was an exciting opportunity for us to do something different from any tour we’ve ever been on. WEEKENDER: What can fans expect from your show in
Scranton? KEV: For the live show, we bring Free Wired to life, keeping the base of three MCs and a DJ, blending hip-hop, pop, rock and dance electro. We grew up on high-energy shows from Linkin Park, Beastie Boys and more, so we always want to keep the energy up. WEEKENDER: What’s up next for the group? PROHGRESS: We just put out a video for our single “So What” off the “Free Wired” album, where we pay homage to the Beastie Boys, who were a big inspiration to us. The song has been growing online, which is cool, because it’s the same way we started. We’ve been hitting studios in different countries on tour to work on our next album and getting a recording bus to finish it during this upcoming tour. We’re just super excited to be making music every day while on tour and still being able to put on a great show for our fans! W

hroughout a baseball season, dedicated fans will become familiar with the teams they love, learn all the statistics of opposing teams and make sure that if any baseball-related conversations were to happen, they won’t be the unprepared, black sheep of the group. Within a few months of the season, an all-star game is conducted and assembled with a chosen group of established stars. The fans that attend are usually familiar with the talented players and travel miles to see them in person. Baseball isn’t the only institution that has a tradition like this. Literature’s influence on Northeastern Pennsylvania will be on display from July 14-17 as Keystone College will host its version of an all-star game: The 5th Anniversary of The Gathering. The all-stars include former U.S. Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Ted Kooser, architect and author Witold Rybczynski and award-winning architect Peter Bohlin and others who will be giving lectures, leading workshops and presenting speeches about the books they have written. They will make the campus of Keystone College their field. Edward G. Boehm, the president of Keystone College, wanted to find a way to not only bring more people to the campus during the summer, but to add more art to the campus. “In the summer, the campus is beautiful, so he felt some program-

Being that Keystone College has a “very strong communication program,” Ravaioli, among other literary professionals, felt that a literary conference would make sense. “They thought it would fit our school.” Each of these conferences has had a themed book list that is usually released in February, giving the prospective attendees of The Gathering roughly five months to read the books on the list and get familiar with the work of the authors who will greet them as they explore the campus. This year’s theme is the home and is titled, “Physical and Metaphysical Home: Memory, Grace and Structure.” Pat Bartholomew, a loyal attendee who has been going to these annual events since they began four summers ago, is looking forward to this year’s festivities. She describes the environment to be “pretty high energy” and wellorganized, and she looks forward to seeing some of her colleagues who share the self-mandated pursuit of reserving a spot in the Keystone College dorms. “Some of the people who are presenting, I have friendships with,” Bartholomew said, deeming The Gathering as a social event as well as an enlightening one. “It’s like a family reunion,” Ravaioli said. The participants mingle, have dinner, attend the scheduled events and, ideally, discuss the books they have read. Although reading the books isn’t a requirement for attending, the
book list is something that the “regulars” know to become familiar with so they won’t suffer the dreadful feeling of being unable to join “the loop’s” discussions on the chosen works of literature. “We ask them to read the books ahead of time, so they have an idea of the issue,” Ravaioli said. Bartholomew agreed. “The best way to be there is to read the books,” she said. “Some people have went without reading the books, and they learned their mistakes. It’s really a pleasure joining a group, and they see the value of being out of the loop.” The “loops” are commonly filled with people who have been to previous installments of The Gathering summer tradition, and it eventually becomes a get-together. “People who keep coming back obviously come back because they enjoyed it,” Bartholomew said. Whatever reason the prospective attendees return to this summer’s assembly of the most respected poets, authors and — a new feature for this year’s theme — architects, Ravaioli hopes they leave the campus of Keystone College with a positive influence and an idea of what the theme is looking to encourage. “We hope they leave with a sense of what the home means and what their own home means to them.” W The Gathering, Thurs.-Sun., July 14-17 at Keystone College (One College Green, La Plume) Info: gathering.keystone.edu, 570.945.8510

MASS melee at Mohegan
Martial Arts Super Sport to hold first event at Mohegan Sun Arena By Marie Burrell

veryone remembers their first time — that memory burned vividly forever in the mind. The excitement stirring deep down inside, waiting for it to happen. The hint of nervousness, hoping everything goes perfectly. Heart beating wildly, adrenaline surging through every part of the body. And then it happens. One intense moment, the result of tireless planning. One intense night, blood, sweat and tears in the spotlight for all to see. The music thunders, the lights flash brightly. Out of the darkness they emerge, ready to fight. Corner to corner, fist to fist, only one victorious. First time or hundredth, each just as important, never forgotten. For Martial Arts Super Sport (MASS), a new professional mixed martial arts (MMA) league based out of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, first times mean everything. Hosting its inaugural event this Saturday, July 16 at the Mohegan Sun Arena, MASS will be showcasing both amateur and professional MMA fighters from not only this area, but all over the country. Mike Malast, president of MASS and CEO of MMA Melee the Community of Combat, which sponsors many of the fighters, said Saturday night is important to the league as it is providing the opportunity for the participants to be involved in a larger, quality event

MASS fighters train at Northeastern Ju-Jitsu in Swoyersville. that many newer fighters rarely have the chance to be a part of. “Fight night for these fighters is as important as their wedding day,” he said. “There’s a lot of promoters and organizations cutting corners on lights — these guys are fighting in basketball courts. We wanted to open up an organization that didn’t do that. We wanted to be exactly like the UFC.” So nearly two years ago, Malast created MMA Melee, which he considers the Facebook of MMA, as a way to bring together fighters, promoters, sponsors and trainers, as he said it is often difficult for new fighters to find sponsorship. He also
“MMA has only been sanctioned in Pennsylvania since February of ’09. This whole time, this is what I’ve been building to do, to have this in our hometown.” Martial Arts Super Sport President Mike Malast
began forming a fighting team under the same name, bringing in talent from all over the country, including UFC and “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 12 finalist, Kris “Savage” McCray. Malast said he wants to help these fighters get out into the public eye and further their careers. “One guy is gonna win,
one’s gonna lose,” he said. “Another guy is getting closer to his dream, the other guy’s getting further away. For the guys that are doing this, the percentage that will make it, it’s very slim. For them to go after this dream that’s so far out there, they deserve all the credit they can get.” But the thrill of the “first
time” doesn’t stop with MASS’s inaugural event — this is the first time an MMA match is being held at the arena. “It’s great, it’s history,” Malast said. “MMA has only been sanctioned in (Pennsylvania) since February of ’09.

‘TOP-NOTCH SHOW, SMALL-TOWN MARKET’ hough a blessing to the league, it has been a lot of hard work according to Jonathan Kernis, vice president of MASS. He said while he and Malast have put in a lot of work to make this event happen, it has required the help of numerous people — everyone from trainers, promoters and fighters to the media — in order to ensure that the
attention to detail is near perfect. “All you can do is put in the work you need to facilitate what needs to go on,” Kernis said, “but at the end of the day, you need to rely on all these different people, and that’s always challenging. We’re doing a top-notch show in a small-town market, and it’s a great opportunity for the fighters, for the fans.” And the fans will be in for a show. Saturday night’s event will
feature between 10 and 14 matches, both amateur and professional, including local fighter “T-Rex” Harris in his first professional match against Ohio-native Chase Owens. The main event of the evening pits the undefeated Swoyersville native Jimy “The Kid” Hettes (Pro 7-0) against Jacob Kirwan (Pro 8-2) of Maryland, in the Featherweight Championship Fight. Hettes, who trains other fighters at Northeastern JuJitsu in Swoyersville, said he is glad to be participating in the MASS inaugural event at the arena. “If you look at a few years ago, it wasn’t even legal in PA and all the local fighters had to travel to New Jersey, to Kentucky, to Virginia, always to other states,” he said. “It’s great to have a real big show right in your backyard. As a fan, that gets me real excited to know that MMA in NEPA has blown up that much. It’s real important to me because I grew up here, the guys I train are from here, and it’s just real important for them to have a big show to shoot for in their training that’s right here.” For Hettes, training is just as exciting as the match itself. He said that while many people look at how MMA fighters train and feel like they are torturing themselves, he wakes up with a smile on his face every day because he knows he gets to go to the gym and train, always learning something new and honing his skills. And as the event draws near, and the fighters ready themselves to push closer to their dreams, some like Hettes urge people to come out and experience what MMA has to offer. “If you have interest in MMA, and you wanna see hardworking guys from your own backyard contend with the big guys from all across the country, see how much it’s progressed in this area, I would definitely show up and see what it’s all about. If you’ve been to smaller shows before, this is going to be a completely different experience. It’s going to be a good time overall.” W

Good, old-fashioned product placement 2.0 W cases they’re only a few weeks old; in others, decades old. Sometimes, you can even spot crude attempts at product placement. The days of Mike Wallace pushing Phillip Morris cigarettes on “The Mike Wallace Interview” are long gone, of course. But what if Mike Wallace started promoting iPads instead? Well, it may be only a matter of time. Advertising companies have found a way to push new products into old shows. In some cases, almost subliminally, as advertisements that appear in the background. In others, they use the magic of computer animation, seemingly being promoted
by actors and actresses who, if they’re still alive, may be far past their prime. Watch those reruns carefully. If you’re a fan of the TV show “How I Met Your Mother,” you may have noticed this already. Promotions for upcoming 2011 movies such as “Zookeeper” have started popping into episodes from 2007, in the form of magazine covers, flat-panel TVs surreptitiously added to walls and more. It’s clever, no doubt. And it’s a good way for companies to continue to monetize their reruns. But there’s something sneaky about it. It’s just a bit underhanded, I’d say.

lower crime rates than we do. I get that it’s a different world now. But the book sale sheriff performed only one law enforcement duty while I was there. He ejected a silverhaired senior and her beautiful, blonde cocker spaniel. I do get that dogs are prohibited. They might fight, bite or worse, poop. But this dog was so pretty if I wasn’t married I’d have dated her. I seriously doubt this dog poops. It was perfectly groomed, its long, golden tresses done up with ribbons. It was completely calm — even when being given the bum’s rush by a burly man with Glock 17 on his hip. Thanks be that it was wellmannered. It would have been ugly to see the book-sale sheriff draw down on the pooch. Uglier than it was. I felt bad for the little old lady and her pet, but she was in fact in violation of the rules and the signs posted denying dogs at the auction. She moved on. The dog went quietly.

oet Angela Alaimo O’Donnell, fondly nicknamed “The Mouth” by family, relates poetry to the construction of music. She wants her words to sing. As an avid talker, something she prides herself in, she prefers to write not only for self-expression but to pick her own brain to discover her thoughts and beliefs. “I dearly love to talk — but I live to write,” wrote O’Donnell in an e-mail. “It’s the only way I can hear my own voice and the best way to be heard by other human beings.” Rather than finding interest in writing and diving into it, O’Donnell feels that writing “chose” her. According to O’Donnell, she was writing poetry as soon as she was learning to read, which she thinks comes from the nursery rhymes she loved as a child. When she was young, she became smitten with playing with words and combining language and sound, arranging words in just the right way to construct her own poems. Her inspirations that she picked up on this literary journey are including, but not limited to, Shakespeare, Robert Frost and the Gospels. Reading is a very dominant portion of her life where she feels that she is always being inspired subconsciously and in small doses. The work that she puts into her writing can be drawn from the things she has read, or from listening to the ways others speak. Her day job involves teaching at Fordham University in New York City, where reading has become a joy to share with her students. When it comes to sitting down and writing, O’Donnell can either excitedly jot down her thoughts when an unexpected idea takes place, or go through “long hours of pedestrian craft.” “Few of us are Mozarts — inventors whose ears are so fine and flawless that every note that flows from the pen is perfection,” wrote O’Donnell. “Most of us are more like Beethoven — who worked his pieces over thoroughly and repeatedly to achieve his signature combination of power and subtlety, rawness and finish.” Born and raised in the Wyoming Valley, O’Donnell has written
Poet Angela Alaimo O’Donnell is the author of the newly published ‘Saint Sinatra.’
“I thought this would be material that people who share this experience would be naturally interested in.”
Poet Angela Alaimo O’Donnell
several poems about growing up in the area, which can be found in her first two books, “Mine” (2007) and “Moving House” (2009). For those that attend O’Donnell’s poetry reading at Art SEEN Gallery on Friday, July 15, she plans to share many of these “local poems” with the audience. “I thought this would be material that people who share this experience would be naturally interested in,” wrote O’Donnell. “The poems try to re-capture and re-create a time and place that would be lost to us were it not for the stories we tell.” In addition to the poems about her Pennsylvania roots, she will be reading from her newly-published book, “Saint Sinatra.” As an Italian-American, O’Donnell is very passionate about the power of ethnicity. The collection of poems revolves around the theme of ethnic artists that have made an impact on American culture. Some of the artists featured in “Saint Sinatra” include Frank Sinatra, Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz and recently deceased saxophonist Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band.
“The ‘Sinatra’ project is really about celebrating the joy and delight that beauty, in all of its forms, brings our lives,” O’Donnell wrote. “Artists, like Sinatra himself, are people whose vocation is beauty.” In future plans, there is an upcoming book by O’Donnell, tentatively titled “Waking My Mother,” which comprises poems that describe complex relationships with mothers. Due to her challenging experiences with her own mother, O’Donnell aims for these poems to speak for other daughters with similar life scenarios. In addition, “The Province of Joy” is a book she is writing about novelist Flannery O’Connor’s theology and prayer life, which is set to be released in 2012 with Paraclete Press.

e go every year to the Back Mountain Memorial Library auction. It’s one of those bookend events of our lives, along with the Bloomsburg Fair and the other various annual events that make living in a community pleasurable. Oddly enough, even though in another life I was once called upon to be an auctioneer, we don’t bid. But we surely do buy. Bags and boxes of books and other things. And we stuff our faces with the various delectables on sale, from halushki to Hillside Farms ice cream.

Chasin' The Dog catches its dream

hen talking to Dan West of the band Chasin’ The Dog, you get a sense that the group had been chasin’ the dream of recording an album of original material for nearly a decade. And now, that dream has been realized. “Herding Cats,” the debut CD from the Moscow-based band, is available now at Gallery of Sound stores. The sometimes breezy, sometimes earthy and sometimes driving collection of tunes was recorded at Windmill Studios in Mt. Cobb. West says that though the group has been together for about 10 years, it was only after its most recent lineup change — and after years of playing mostly cover material — that it started writing and working on the album. “We called it ‘drawing a line in the sand,’” says West. “We said, “This is what we’re going to be, and we’re going to do it the best we can. You either like it or you don’t, but this is what we’ve got.’ We just wanted to shoot for our own identity. And we really felt the best way to define ourselves was to show, in our CD, who we are.” Chasin’ The Dog features West on rhythm guitar and vocals, Fred Forte on lead/rhythm guitar and vocals, Marc Ciullo on drums and vocals, Chris Amptman on lead/rhythm guitar and
vocals and Matt Thomas on bass. Guest musicians on the group’s CD included Joe Paciotti on harmonica, banjo and vocals, Ian James on piano and keyboards and Eric Ritter on bass. The new CD was produced by Ritter and the band. “He really did such an outstanding job,” says West of Ritter. “He’s got the most soothing, calming voice.” Self-described as a jam band, Chasin’ The Dog names the Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead, John Butler Trio, Drive By Truckers, OAR, Jack Johnson, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tea Leaf Green, The Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival as influences. In addition to original material, the music of such acts has also appeared in the Chasin’ The Dog set list. West, who serves as the group’s principal songwriter, is
candid when talking about the inspiration for his lyrics. “Through my life, I’ve been divorced, locked up, homeless, broke, hooked on drugs … anything that you can do, I was,” he says. “With that comes a lot of baggage and inner thoughts, and I guess that’s where it comes from.” Music, he says, can be cathartic. “I feel like it washes my soul,” he says. “When every bad thing that can happen to you is happening to you, and you can pick up your guitar and just start playing … before long you actually forget about what’s going on, and you’re putting inflections in your music. You just get lost.” West says that, more than anything, he hopes listeners find honesty in the album. He says the songs were not only inspired by personal experiences, but also everything from his disenchantment with the extreme divisiveness of America’s political climate to the plight of America’s soldiers. In addition to Gallery of Sound, the CD is also available through the band’s Facebook page and the entire album is also posted on its MySpace page at myspace.com/chasin-the-dog. On July 23, the band will hold a CD release party and pig roast at a friend’s farm in Springbrook. Tickets and directions are available on the band’s Facebook page. “Everything seems to have a red and purple tint to it,” he says when talking about the band’s live show. “We try to make musical transitions between songs and put a show together. It’s a tad psychedelic. It’s like Widespread Panic and the Grateful Dead met, with a tad bit of Drive By Truckers. Lots of wah-wah pedals.” W

ALBUM REVIEWS
LMFAO should be S ` orry' Warning: Listening to so many shrill beats over the course of “Sorry For Party Rocking” might temporarily deafen you. And bore you, if electro-hop isn’t your bag. On LMFAO’s second full-length album, MCs/DJs Redfoo and his nephew Sky Blu, mix earpiercing techno that gets saved — sometimes — by contagious rhymes. The super-short album starter, “Rock the Beat II,” begins with laser sounds and a movie-trailer-esque lead in. “Sorry For Party Rocking” makes you want to bounce, but its beat gets old fast. Hit lead single, “Party Rock Anthem,” which features
Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, is fun with some big synth flourishes that come along at the perfect time. “Sexy and I Know It” has handclaps, a throaty beat that’s different from the previous tracks and silly lyrics like “When I’m at the beach, I’m in a Speedo trying to tan my cheeks.” Natalia Kills guests on “Champagne Showers” which is one of the less abrasive tracks on the album, as is the sentimental “One Day.” With its annoying siren-like backbeat, not even Busta Rhymes can save “Take It To The Hole.” Luckily, “Best Night,” which features will.i.am,
Battles "Gloss Drop" Rating: W W W W
Battles puts up a good fight When guitarist and singer Tyondai Braxton left the band Battles in 2010, there was fodder that with him went a heavy portion of the talent. As demonstrated on its most recent release, “Gloss Drop,” Battles is doing just fine minus one, and the innovative, experimental rock that it’s perfected is still laden with pointed melodies and arrest-
GoonRock and Eva Simons, follows and is anthemic and enjoyable. “With You” closes the album on an equally fun ’70s-soul vibe. A deluxe edition of “Sorry For Party Rocking” includes four bonus songs: “Put that A$$ to Work,” which urges ladies to “shake that booty like it was an Etch-A-Sketch;” “We Came Here To Party” proves that when GoonRock is involved, songs are more melodious and less harsh while “Reminds Me of You” sounds like a Drake song. The funky “Hot Dog” is a great homage to a post-clubbing hot dog. When the duo lets themselves be without a lot of bells and whistles, like on “One Day” or “Best Night,” LMFAO is actually good. It’s too bad that side doesn’t get shown more often on “Sorry For Party Rocking.” -- Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor
ing instrumental techniques. Though “Gloss Drop” features guest vocals that add to the overall delivery, like on “My Machines,” with Gary Numan, and “Sweetie & Shag,” with Kazu Makino, it’s apparent from the opening track that they aren’t really necessary. And that is because of songs like “Inchworm,” which is befittingly named, with its incremental beats, and “White Electric,” which has a symphonic backbeat that keeps the errant melody from going too far off the deep end. “Sundome” begins with a sound that can only be described as something out of “Jurassic Park;” as it progresses, you just expect the mooning melancholic sound to be accompanied by a brontosaurus head popping out of nowhere. The sweetly docile “Toddler” and the punchy “Dominican Fade” act as mock interludes, offering a brief respite from the heaviness of some other songs, like “Rolls Bayce.” Anyone can take a sleigh bell and a guitar and call themselves “experimental rock,” but on “Gloss Drop,” Battles does it with such a deliberately orchestrated level of extreme, it’s hard not to be won over. The band continues to be creative and unconventional, but still accessible. -- Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Staff Writer

homeland is a paradise of beaches and rainforests. Despite lineup changes and the loss of founders Max and Igor Cavalera, the band soldiered on and has recently released its 12th studio album, “Kairos.” The album is as close as one could get to having a “classic” sound, which in Sepultura’s case means death metal with tribal influences in the rhythm section. From the opening chords of “Spectrum,” it becomes clear that Sepultura is not intent on just being heard, but instead wants to reach out and grab hold of the listener and not let go until the album is over. Up next is the title track, followed by the hard-charging “Relentless,” before coming to “2011,” the first of some instrumental tracks on the album. There is no real filler to speak of, and highlights from the rest of the album include “Mask,” “Structure Violence (Azzes),” and a cover of Ministry’s “Just One Fix.” In the end, “Kairos” is a solid album from front to back and has a very pure death-metal sound. The only detractor for some fans may be the garbled, growling vocals, which are, for better or for worse, a hallmark of Sepultura’s music. “Kairos” isn’t the band’s best album, but it’s definitely worth adding to the collection of both the casual and the dedicated fan. -- Michael Irwin Weekender Correspondent

“Dreams of Joy” By Lisa See Rating: W W W 1/2
Identity crisis
I
n Lisa See’s “Dreams of Joy,” readers embark on a passage of identity through a winding path edged by deceit. In 1950s Los Angeles, Joy clutches to her sheets following the discovery of her identity. She’s a beautiful and resilient young woman just short of her sophomore year of college. In spite of her good fortune, Pandora’s box opens, and Joy finds herself torn between the person she once was, and the reality that currently exists. “Everything I thought I knew about my birth, my parents, my grandparents, and who I am has been a lie.” As some readers may know, Pearl and May are Joy’s mother and aunt who coexist as main characters in Lee’s previous novel, “Shanghai Girls.” Though this is a continuation of the previous novel, “Dreams of Joy” can be read independently. As Joy comes to realize, both her mother and aunt spent their young lives in their native China as models in the 1930s before migrating to L.A.’s Chinatown. They fall in love with the same artist who paints them, which

becomes the backdrop to Joy’s most prevalent search in the novel. However, the first installment is appropriate to read as Pearl and May’s sentiments about China during the time they lived there and how it changed over time is the difference between night and day. While the sisters still harbor some fondness about their modeling days, they cannot rid the nightmares that befell them as young women following the Japanese invasion. In a way, Joy romanticizes their past and believes that her effort to seek out her own identity will be empowering. Unlikely that such could be attained considering Joy leaves America in 1957, at the time of Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward. In history, the movement was proposed in order to make China’s economy rival that of America, but the Forward instead became something of deviation once famine struck between 1958-1962. Joy describes the vivid nature of people in China during that time facing cannibalism or starvation: “Hunger has turned me into an old woman nearing death.” Though “Dreams of Joy” is a work of fiction, See has proven to be an illustrious writer with cultural and historical understanding. Her research regarding her own familial history and Mao’s movement, which historians assert, led to 45 million fatalities, is not only accurate, but also important when describing the dire straits of the Chinese population during the period. The primary secrets are realized in the beginning of the novel. But, as the story develops, Joy realizes that secrets aside, the most important identity she ever had was not in China, but her connection to Pearl and May.

f you’re planning to attend the Vans Warped Tour on Thursday, July 14, one of the 68 bands scheduled to appear that you won’t want to miss is D.R.U.G.S., aka Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, which will play this year’s Teggart Main Stage. This Michigan-based fivepiece rock band is new to the scene as a group, but the members are music veterans, especially on the Warped Tour. With the members hailing from popular acts like Chidos, Matchbook Romance, Underminded, From First to Last and Story of the Year, this determined group of guys is ready to put on one hell
of a show. “I wanted to choose a bunch of dudes that deserved more than what they got from their previous bands,” lead singer Craig Owens said, phoning in right before his bus was about to leave for the tour. “We are all super-talented and deserve a second chance at this.” Owens parted ways with his former band Chidos, but was not ready to leave the music scene. Instead of finding new musicians who had not been at a high level, he started pulling musicians out of the woodwork who were looking to succeed. “We are all passionate about our band.” Owens said. “I went down the list of the most talented, fun and responsible guys that I could find. I got very lucky with these guys.”
“Don’t make music if you’re not having fun doing it. Being the band that ignores fans is such a shit cop out.”

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2011
D.R.U.G.S. will play on the Warped Tour’s Teggart Main Stage.
D.R.U.G.S. has done nothing but focus on its music since its formation in early 2010. Soon after Owens announced the lineup via YouTube videos, the group started putting songs together. Singles were released in late 2010, and a self-titled album followed in February. Since the album’s release, D.R.U.G.S. has toured non-stop playing headlining shows across the U.S. and Owens has loved every second of it. “We all want to recapture the moment when you first start playing music,” he said. “Where you’d sit in a garage and play the same song 10 times in a row and say, ‘Wow! This is awesome, I can’t believe I just created this!’ Having fun and enjoying ourselves is what this band is really all about. “Don’t make music if you’re not having fun doing it. Being the band that ignores fans is such a shit cop out. There’s a lot of people at Warped; you have to work hard and play one of the most energetic sets so that people come out and watch. You always have to connect with fans through appearances and autograph signings.” D.R.U.G.S. will be playing acoustic and signing autographs at the Weekender/Go Lackawanna Party Deck at the Scranton date. The group has earned reviews from press outlets across the country for having a lively stage presence, and Owens said the band won’t disappoint when it arrives Thursday. “Make sure you let everyone know to look for our set time on the big blow-up balloon. Whatever time we’re playing, early or late, do not miss us. We haven’t played Scranton yet, and we are going to rock it to the f---ing W ground.”

movie review
From left, Jason Bateman is stepped on by Kevin Spacey as Colin Farrell terrorizes Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day is accosted by Jennifer Aniston in ‘Horrible Bosses.’
Good cast carries 'Horrible'
I
s Charlie Day some kind of mad, comic genius? Probably not, but the guy does veer incredibly close to genius at times. After all, it takes more than just mere talent to make that deranged, borderline psychotic, milksteak-loving weirdo he plays on “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” not only funny, but likable. And Day’s natural ability to turn loathsome creeps into charming underdogs remains the greatest asset in “Horrible Bosses.” Who else could play a registered sex offender (his character was caught urinating in a playground after dark) who continually spurns the aggressive sexual advances of Jennifer Aniston — who, incidentally, looks great
in bangs — and still remain the most sympathetic character in the movie? Answer: Don Knotts. But he’s dead, so probably nobody. But to be fair, as funny as Day often is in the film, he’s surrounded by an equally talented ensemble cast who all make “Horrible Bosses” far more interesting and amusing than it has any right to be. Day, “Saturday Night Live’s” Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman star as three friends whose lives are complicated by their moderately evil bosses. Bateman has to deal with the vicious mind games of a sociopathic Kevin Spacey. Sudeikis is forced to carry out the cruel whims of a dimwitted Colin Farrell, and Day
is being blackmailed into having sex with the perpetually horny Aniston. In this apocalyptic economy, quitting your job is no longer a viable option, so the trio decides to do the next best thing: They’ll murder their superiors. But even under the helpful guidance of a “murder consultant” (Jamie Foxx), homicide is never as easy as it looks, and it isn’t long before the trio’s not-so-welllaid plans go awry. There’s a casual indifference behind “Horrible Bosses,” almost as if director Seth Gordon turned the camera on, told his cast to “just make shit up or whatever,” and then wandered off the set for a smoke. The pacing is oddly slow, and the visually unappeal-
ing camerawork makes it resemble a bad FX-ready sitcom. Yet unlike Gordon’s previous film “Four Christmases,” which leaned heavily on gross-out gags and Vince Vaughn’s overbearing smarminess, the cast of “Horrible Bosses” are almost all skilled improvisers and have amazing chemistry together. Apart from obvious standout Day, Sudeikis also earns plenty of laughs as a waspy, condescending dolt who at one point argues with Bateman over which of them would be more “rape-able” in prison. But the film’s biggest shocker is Aniston. She charmingly plays her unhinged, skanky character as if she was the female lead in a romantic comedy. It’s a strange
but funny choice, and it’s always amusing to watch as she growls out her filthy dialogue in the sweetest most unassuming way possible. Unlike last month’s “Bad Teacher,” which practically strained itself to appear shocking and outrageous, “Horrible Bosses” tackles its pitch-black subject matter with relative ease. Perhaps a little too much ease because at times “Horrible Bosses” doesn’t seem to be trying at all. Although a strong comedy, the film is far too improvisatory, loose and often lacks focus. With the right director, “Horrible Bosses” could have been an instant classic, but instead it’s just one of the best comedies released this summer that isn’t “Bridesmaids.”

Warped through the eyes of its bands By Matt Morgis Weekender Intern
W
arped Tour always seems to have the same constants every year: The weather is hotter than the crotch of a skinny-jean-wearing rocker, annoying handouts from animal rights activists, condom vendors and musicians who wish they were on the tour — and of course, the never-ending maze of merch tents you have to weasel through just to see the next act on your list. Warped is a day that kicks a fan’s ass in plain terminology, and we all have our opinions on SET YOUR GOALS why we choose whether to attend. But what is it tour is really like. like for the bands, and what do they think of Chris DeMakes, the tour?

to engage with the audience in a different way. People get so bombarded with electronic advertisements now. Warped is a great way to get rid of the Twitters and just interact with your fans on a personal level, something you may not be able to do on other tours. You can actually shake their hand, look them in eye and say, ‘Hey, thanks for buying my record.’ And that still means a lot to most people.”

Stage: Nintendo 3DS Upcoming release: “Bad Habits,” Aug. 2 “There are the obvious reasons it’s different: It’s an all-day festival, every single day, instead of a three- or four-hour show. It’s hot — very, very hot, and there are a lot more people. The people, though, is the best part. We get to hang out with some of our best friends, and make new ones. We get to barbecue with them every
EVERY AVENUE night, and it’s just a good time.”
Matt Wilson, Set Your Goals
Stage: Advent Clothing Stage Recent release: “Burning At Both Ends” “It’s definitely a very hard tour because of the conditions. It’s very hot and very dirty; there aren’t a lot of showers. You meet and gain so many new fans, though. We’re lucky enough to do it on a bus, so for us it’s a chance to play in front of a ton of people and hang out with some of the
LESS THAN JAKE best friends we’ve made over the years.”

MC LARS & WEERD SCIENCE though. I wake up around 7 a.m., plaster the venues with posters of what time we’re playing, then hit up the line outside and ask people to come see us. By the time the show ends, and we’re packing up our gear, it’s 11 at night. Then we sleep, and do it all over again. It’s a lot different from your standard four-hour-day club shows.” - MC Lars (Andrew Nielsen)

Fred Mascherino, Terrible Things
Stage: Ernie Ball Stage Recent release: “Terrible Things” “We are looking at Warped as the biggest tour we’ve done so far as a new band. It’s kind of a hopeful time for us. There are no other tours that can be compared to this one. It’s a 10-hour-plus day in the sun, every single day. Everyone is hot and thirsty, and we all just kind of connect on a personal level. I think we made most of our fans on this tour based on that. We’re suffering with them, then we got on stage, and they say, ‘Hey, those are the people I was just complaining with for the last hour.’ We all just relate.”
MC Lars & Weerd Science
Stage: Skullcandy Recent release: “Indie Rocket Science” “This is my fourth time playing the tour, and I can never think of a better way to spend my summer. People say it’s a punk-rock festival, which is kind of true. It’s just a way to experience the best underground music. We’re out here every day with some of the best current acts in the world, and we’re all undergoing the same circumstances. We all just connect: Bands, fans, crew, everyone.” — Weerd Science (Josh Eppard) “For me, Warped is a new way to interact with the new generation of music lovers. I’ve never done it before, so the whole experience is just new. The days are what is killer,

GO RADIO
“Warped Tour is kind of the place that you earn your stripes. Our biggest challenge is coming out every day and playing a bunch of songs no one has ever heard before. We have to convince everyone that we’re worth knowing. We’re always up against someone huge, like the Simple Plans and Every Avenues, but at the same time, we’ve experienced a few kids that come buy our CD even if they didn’t get around to watching our set because their plan was to see one of those bigger acts. Something like that doesn’t happen on other tours.”
Stage: Nintendo 3DS Recent release: “Lucky Street” “What’s cool about Warped is obviously being able to play in front of new people, but also seeing everything go up because of it. Website hits, Facebook likes, Twitter followers, things like that continue to go up every day after we play a set and just proves that everything is worth it. Not only are we selling more CDs and getting the word out the day of the show, but those people tell their friends, and it helps even more. You go in, and it kind of sucks at parts, but everyone is a lot happier once you come out on the other side.”
Joe Michelini, River City Extension
Stage: Kevin Says Stage Recent release: “The Unmistakeable Man” “I’ve never done Warped before. I look forward to visiting all of the cities. I am excited to be on the tour, but I am a little apprehensive. I think it’s going to be difficult to do with so many people in one vehicle. But I do figure, if we get through this alive, we can get through anything as a band.” W

accessories. I know what you’re probably thinking, floral for summer? Groundbreaking. But at the same time, it’s just the right thing to add to a simple outfit that’s perfect for this time of year when you want your style to be fresh and effortless. Going by hair length, girls with shorter hair should opt for smaller, daintier flowers, while the longer the length of hair, the bigger the flower you can usually pull off. Although, whether it’s hair clips or hair bands, one thing to keep in mind is that while real flowers are clearly not the best way to execute this trend, for obvious reasons, still be picky with synthetic options. Just because they aren’t real doesn’t mean they shouldn’t look like you went off and picked them fresh from the garden yourself — or in my case, the outfield.

’d never been a very athletic child, which is why my mom, in an attempt to broaden my horizons, signed me up for softball. Seconds into the game, it was clear that had been a mistake on her part. While all the other little girls were out getting messy and running the bases, you could find me sitting down, perfectly content in the outfield picking flowers and putting them in my hair. It’s safe to say not much has changed. I’m still that girl who would rather pick flowers and put them in her hair than ever go anywhere near a softball. When you’re smaller, there’s something about being outdoors and having flowers in your hair that makes you feel like you are no longer human, but a fairy princess of sorts, friend of every creature big and small. Now, you can achieve a similar earthy vibe at any age with flower hair

Relient K embraces Warped melting pot By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
T
he day-long festival known as the Vans Warped Tour is notorious for having a deluge of musical acts and providing sweaty, exhausting, raucous fun, all for the price of one little admission ticket. For Matt Thiessen, the lead singer of Relient K, all of that is what makes this, the band’s third year touring with Warped, worth the effort. “It’s just always fun to see where you fit in with the roster,” he explained when he checked in with the Weekender recently from the tour’s stop in Pomona, Calif. “And then there’s just the hippie, camping element of being dirty and sweaty and rock ’n’ roll, kind of communing with the kids that are there, too.” The melting pot aspect of Warped Tour, which hits the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain Thursday, July 14, appeals to Thiessen, and though
“We’re just glad that we get to be ourselves and people don’t hate us. We’ve never really cared about what box people put us in.” Matt Thiessen of Relient K
Relient K fits into the general punk genre one associates with the tour, the band has also experienced success within the Christian rock community. But for Thiessen, labels don’t matter. “We’re just glad that we get to be ourselves and people don’t hate us,” he said, laughing. “We’ve never really cared about what box people put us in.” Perhaps that approach is what has made the band, which Thiessen founded with guitarist Matt Hoopes in 1998 and features John Warne on bass, Ethan Luck on drums and Jon Schneck on guitars, such a success. The
decidedly earnest music is another factor that keeps fans coming back for more. “I tend to write a lot about personal experience,” Thiessen explained. “And I wear my heart on my sleeve a little bit, sometimes too much.” He added that the band is hoping to get back into the studio in November to start recording some new songs, including some that are less about real-life and more about telling a fictional story. Until then, fans have “K is for Karaoke” to pore over, which features covers of songs by everyone from Cyndi Lauper to

hen most people think of the Vans Warped Tour, they think of it as a festival for skateboarders and punkmusic fans. It’s not a wrong as-
sumption, but there’s much more to it than just those things. Take The Aggrolites, for example. This self-proclaimed “dirty reggae” band from Los Angeles is about as far musically from its Warped tourmates as it could be, and for vocalist/lead guitarist Jesse Wagner, that’s the whole point. “What I’ve always loved about it
and respected is how (founder) Kevin Lyman throws a lot of different kinds of acts for a lot of people to see,” Wagner said, checking in with the Weekender last week from the tour’s Indiana stop. “When you come, you’re coming to watch these bands that you know, but at the same time, you can always somehow stumble
RELIENT K Justin Bieber, and a follow-up cover album featuring Thiessen’s personal favorite, “Motorcycle Drive By” by Third Eye Blind, will likely be released in the fall. The band has always had the idea of doing a compilation of covers on the back burner, especially after seeing some of its biggest influences, like MxPx and New Found Glory, do the same. “We’ve been playing cover songs for 11 years, changing them up every tour, (but) we never actually tracked any of them, so this was a good opportunity for us to do that,” Thiessen said. He also explained that over the course of those 11 years, the band’s sound has been influenced across a band on a side stage and totally get into another whole genre of music.” Wagner sees two things happen when festivalgoers catch a set from The Aggrolites, who hit Scranton with Warped Thursday, July 14. “It’s hit or miss,” he shared. “Sometimes kids are looking at us with a big deer-in-the-headlights face, sometimes kids get into it and start dancing to the music. It all depends on who’s out there and who’s open enough to appreciate it, and you know, not follow ‘the herd.’” It’s no surprise that a band like The Aggrolites — which also features Brian Dixon, Roger Rivas, Alex McKenzie and Jeff Roffredo — wouldn’t be herd followers itself. Wagner cited 1969-early ’70s reggae from Jamaica and the U.K. plus American soul, Motown and the 2 Tone era, a U.K. genre that fused ska, punk rock, rocksteady, reggae and New Wave, as influences. Even the way the band released “Rugged Road” in February is a little left: The album was originally formatted as five 45s. “We always wanted to put out 45s because we play the kind of music where people collect vinyl,” Wagner began, “and we never had
by the process of growing up and maturing more than anything else. “Every year that goes by, you educate yourself a little more,” he said. “You get into new artists or even classic artists. I’m more in tune with Paul Simon than I’ve ever been in my life, and I feel like that can’t be a bad thing for my songwriting. And stuff like that happens as you just grow older and, hopefully, more intelligent.” W

Info: vanswarpedtour.com the opportunity to do it until now.” “Rugged Road” eventually became a 10-song CD, though the band “never wanted to call it an album.” “We had to put it on CD because obviously 45s are a lot harder to push on tour and are a lot more expensive to press,” Wagner added. The Aggrolites’ influences also played a part in its name, as “aggro” was a popular term for the U.K. working class in the ’60s and ’70s. “It was really used by a lot of those bands like The Aggrovators,” Wagner explained. “It was just how the beatniks would say ‘boss’ or ‘daddy-o.’ Lite’s from the ’60s bands like The Chi-Lites or The Crystallites, so it just fit perfectly with what we were influenced by. “And it’s really funny because people in the U.K. — and especially the Jamaicans — automatically understand because they get it from that era.” W

WHO IS... BOB STANLEY
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2011
Who is... Bob Stanley
Forty Fort
B
ob Stanley is more than a financial advisor. A man about town, you may see him at just about every fundraiser and party across the Wyoming Valley. With his jovial persona always in tow, Bob does his part to give back to the community while living up to his title of social butterfly. Active on a multitude of boards, Bob is known for his fundraising strengths including organizing hot-selling gift baskets for community dinners. The face you’ve seen plenty of times, but just who is Mr. Robert Louis Stanley? Full name: Robert Louis Stanley, although everyone calls me Bob Nickname: Mina’s Husband Occupation: Financial advisor Community involvement: Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, Red Cross, Luzerne County Community College, Northeast Ballet, Association of the Blind, Osterhout Library, Generation 2 Generation, Eastern Star … I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Hobbies: Freemasonry; I have quite an extensive collection of books. Favorite quote: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle,” Plato or Philo Judaeus, no one is sure. Something people might not know about you: I go camping for one week every year — in a tent, in the woods. Something you always wanted to do: Go for a ride in an F-14 fighter plane. What music makes you want to dance? I really can’t dance, unless I have had a toddy or two. If you see me dancing, you should assume libations are somehow involved. Favorite movie: “Citizen Kane.” What did you want to be when you grew up? Mina’s husband.

Weekender General Manager
Michael Andrews Bespoke, above and bottom right, was founded by Michael Andrews, top right photos, in 2006 in New York City. Bespoke offers custom-designed suits -- and a full bar.
Bespoke, custom suits for distinctive men
F
suits cut to my liking so I began getting my suits custom-tailored on my frequent trips to Asia. I fell in love with the whole idea of custom clothing and thought there was a need in the market for contemporary, slimmer-fitting custom suits. After trying over a dozen tailors in half a dozen countries without finding exactly what I wanted, I decided it was time to open my own tailor shop. I went back to school to take tailoring classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology to understand professional tailoring techniques first-hand. WEEKENDER: Who is your demographic? ANDREWS: We have a diverse client base. While the majority of our clients are bankers and lawyers in their late 20s to early 40s, we have a large number of clients who work in entertainment, hospitality, media and technology. WEEKENDER: What can a client expect when coming in for an appointment? ANDREWS: We have been described as “anti-retail.” Most guys hate to shop, so we’ve
created a space that feels more like a private club than a store. When you come in, we start by getting you a drink (scotch is most popular, but we mix some mean cocktails as well) from our in-house 12-foot oak bar and spend a few minutes to get to know you. It is important for us to understand your preferences as well as your wardrobe needs so we can best guide you through the selection of fabrics and details. Once you have designed your new garments, we take over 30 measurements to ensure as precise a fit as possible. WEEKENDER: What’s the turnaround time on your suits? ANDREWS: There are many variables that go into making a custom suit, so a first-time order can take anywhere from six to 12 weeks. WEEKENDER: Can a client request just a shirt or a pair of pants? ANDREWS: We do not have a minimum order, but we encourage clients to think about their wardrobes in a holistic way. Our goal is to help our clients
blessed with a lot of good press, but I think that is the outcome of our relentless focus on client service. We don’t spend money on traditional advertising. Instead, we try to make sure each of our clients is a walking, talking billboard for our company. As far as keeping up with current trends, we all have a deep interest in fashion so that is one of the most fun parts of my job. I read about a dozen fashion magazines from Italy, England, and Japan and keep up with the latest collections on the runway. I also travel a lot, so I have the opportunity to see new trends first hand in a lot of international cities. WEEKENDER: What can the public expect from Michael Andrews Bespoke in the future? ANDREWS: We have a lot on our plate for the next year. We are working on a new ready-to-wear collaboration with thestyleblogger.com, and we look forward to launching a new e-commerce system that will let existing clients place new orders over the internet. We are also looking at options to expand to other cities — but we won’t do that until we are certain we can expand without sacrificing the level of client service we have come to be known for.. W

rom corporate attorney to custom tailor, Michael Andrews knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a well-dressed man. Frustrated by what was available, Andrews opened his own shop — Michael Andrews Bespoke — in 2006 to fit the needs of men with fine taste. With a showroom complete with a full bar, men can expect a unique experience during their consultation at the shop named “Best of New York” from 20082010. Located at 2 Great Jones Alley in New York City, Bespoke offers sophisticated customdesigned slim-fit suits. Let’s get to know the designer … WEEKENDER: What were you doing before Bespoke, and what made you want to begin the endeavor? ANDREWS: If anyone knows how a suit should look and fit a gentleman, it would be me. I was a corporate lawyer in my prior life and had to wear a suit to work every day for nearly eight years. I am a tough fit, and I could not find off-the-rack
look their best all the time, and the way to do this is to design whole outfits, not individual pieces. If you invest in the right suit, the jacket can do double duty as a weekend or travel blazer. You can wear it during the week to the office, then on the weekend with jeans or khakis. This is a perfect example of where the whole is worth far more than the sum of the parts. We discuss how simple accessory touches like cufflinks, a tie bar, colorful socks and a pocket square are safe, businessappropriate accessories that can add an element of style to any outfit. We’re all about instructing our clients to get the most out of their wardrobes. WEEKENDER: What makes your tailored suits different than others? ANDREWS: While garments can be ordered in virtually any style, we emphasize a more updated, slimmer cut than most custom tailors, and we encourage clients to personalize their suits with colorful linings, contrast stitching, working sleeve buttonholes and labels embroidered with a client’s own name. WEEKENDER: You’ve been featured in a wide array of magazines. How do you stay versatile? ANDREWS: We’ve been

Though it offers beer and
spicy companion to the fresh-from-the-oven bread. Adam explained that, like the menu, the butter flavors change with the seasons. Before we knew it, our appetizers arrived, looking gorgeous. Wilfred’s five sizeable scallops were meaty, and the bacon was cooked perfectly. Those two opposite flavors mixed with the sweet sesame soy sauce was incredible. My five ample slices of rare ahi were seared in sesame seeds and served with fresh pickled ginger, sesame soy sauce and a ribbon of wasabi glaze. It was honestly the best tuna both of us have had in quite some time. Our included salads ar-

atop, too, was tasty, and its accompanying green beans were crisp and flavorful. Wilfred and I sat back and discussed how perfectly satiated we were from dinner, but not overly so. Adam appeared to clear our plates just as we were saying that we had room for dessert, but wanted to pass to save room for popcorn at the movie that was next on our docket. “Well, we do offer mini desserts, because we want it to be about the food, but there’s always room for dessert,” Adam said, twisting our arms just enough to sample the mini tiramisu ($3.95). Like dinner before it, the tiramisu was delectable, with ladyfingers dipped in a coffee-marsala mixture and layered with rich Italian cream cheese and a cocoa dusting. From start to finish, our dinner at Seasons was flawless. Adam was an amazing server who enhanced the restaurant’s fantastic atmosphere and truly made the evening great. We can’t wait to taste each and every season — once we’re done with this menu, that is. • Seasons Restaurant 53 E.

Ahi tuna appetizer.
BYOB for wine (with a $5 corkage fee), Wilfred and I couldn’t help but order one of Seasons’ Shirley Temples (which he swears is also called a Davey Crockett) as we perused the menu. As soon as he saw the bacon-wrapped scallops ($8.50), Wilfred knew which appetizer he wanted. While I was intrigued by the fried saucy shrimp served with sweet Thai chili sauce, I couldn’t deny my craving for ahi tuna ($9.95). Always a sucker for spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, I thought I’d get that as my entree, but there were so many other dishes to choose from, from chicken gorgonzola and crab cakes, which I haven’t had in ages, to enchanting-sounding pistachio parmesan encrusted grouper, grilled portabella and goat cheese tower and even baby back ribs. Ultimately, the crab cakes ($16.95) won out. Wilfred, once again, knew immediately that he wanted to see how Seasons’ sundried tomato pasta ($12.95 for a half portion, $14.95 for full) competes with his own version of the dish. We placed our orders, and our server Adam promptly delivered a bread basket. The homemade Cajun butter was the perfect
rived soon after we nearly licked our appetizer plates clean and after a short wait, our dinners made their appearance. Wilfred’s pasta featured tender chunks of grilled chicken tossed with bowtie pasta and sundried tomato pesto cream sauce and was topped with shaved parmesan. Despite its red, vodkaesque sauce, there was a delicate and light pesto feel and flavor, which couldn’t have been more different from Wilfred’s own recipe. My crab cakes were phenomenal, featuring Maryland blue crab mixed with Seasons’ own ingredients and, per the menu, “very little filler.” There may not have been a lot of filler, but there was a lot of flavor, and the fact that the cakes were dusted in corn meal and served with ale aioli definitely added to that. The wild rice the cakes were

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) It’s not your job to make sure someone else sticks to their own rules and standards (unless, of course, someone’s actually paying you to do just that). Even the gentlest reminder that they may be straying off the course they’ve set for themselves will probably not be particularly appreciated; chances are, they already know. This is one of those scenarios where you’re best off simply minding your own business, even if that means allowing someone else — perhaps someone you really care about — to make a mistake. Naturally, you should also feel no obligation to clean up the mess they make, either. Let them do that. How else will they learn? LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Home is wherever you decide it is. If you’re convinced it’s back where you grew up, you’ll never feel truly rooted in your new place. What does “home” mean to you? Why not see if you can inject at least some of those qualities into your current situation, even if it’s temporary? If you’re reluctant, because you’re scared it’ll rob the old place of some of its specialness, try to remember that that place actually only exists in your mind; it’s changed while you were gone. You’ve heard the phrase, “You can never go home again.” But if you make home where you are, it’ll be like you never left.
PAGE 58
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Violence often begets violence. Frequently when people are cruel or abusive, it’s because they’ve been victimized themselves. That certainly doesn’t mean they should be let off the hook, of course; conscious people have free will and the ability to make their own choices. However, pure recrimination will probably not be particularly effective in ending the cycle. Mixing consequences with compassion and a chance at redemption, however, would be better. Yes, it may prove fruitless, but at least has the chance of garnering productive results. And that’s all you’re obligated to provide, as a fellow human being: a chance. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You learned long ago that expecting others to live up to your standards (of hygiene, morality, creativity or tidiness) would almost always lead to disappointment. However, in this case, you have a mandate to at least request that they try. Don’t take that as permission to start haranguing everyone who isn’t meeting your expectations, but in this one case, go for it. The situation calls for a little nagging and sermonizing. That may not be a fun job,

but someone’s got to do it, and guess what: You’re it. It’s for their own good — and your own serenity. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) One thing I love about you Scorpios — you’re not afraid to own your opinions. If you think someone’s moronic, you don’t chastise yourself like one of those oversensitive Pisceans (“Oh, that’s so mean; I shouldn’t think that!”). I hope you never lose your ability to clearly understand and express your own ideas about the world, even if they’re harsh or critical, without becoming muddled in self-censorship or self-delusion. However, that doesn’t mean you should always express those opinions out loud or in mixed company, especially this week. By all means have them, but keep them to yourself. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) The first time you let yourself fart in front of a lover is, comically enough, a reasonably significant indication of how comfortable and intimate you two are. Intimacy isn’t all whispered sweet nothings and amazing sex. Some of it is about shouldering each other’s problems — and putting up with each other’s gas, bad breath or inability to cap the toothpaste. You’re usually too laidback to fixate on these petty details, but one is likely to nag at you this week. Make a conscious effort to let it go. Remember, this isn’t a deliberate attempt to annoy you; it’s actually just a sign of how close and relaxed the pair of you have become. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) It may seem like it’s time to go back to
the drawing board, but that’s not the case. While some of the progress you made (in the wrong direction, unfortunately) must be scrapped, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. There’s much that can be salvaged here. What can you repurpose, alter, and make over to move forward with? Take a day or two before you act, then step in with the aim of keeping as much as possible without becoming too attached to any particular outcome besides coming through this with as little waste and suffering as possible. If you’re resourceful and flexible enough, you’ll end up with something better than you’d hoped. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’re probably as annoyed and astonished as I am about how quick many Americans are to pursue lawsuits over the most ridiculous, petty things. However, while many such situations are mostly imagined (or at least magnified and exaggerated) wrongs, when you are truly mistreated, you must do what you can to fight and correct the situation, even if it’s difficult or inconvenient. This may be one of those times. Hopefully things won’t get to the point of requiring a lawyer, but standing up for what you believe in right now isn’t something you’ll regret later on. Please do it. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) How surprising that you, arguably the most sensitive and compassionate of the zodiac signs, might feel uncomfortable about another person’s feelings. Because you don’t understand where they’re coming from, you probably won’t have a clue
how to respond. Don’t freak out! You can’t go wrong with simply being compassionate or sympathetic. Also, you don’t necessarily need to respond right then and there. Simply say, “I need a moment to think about this; please excuse me,” and return when you know better what to say or do (get some advice if you have to). Don’t use that as an excuse to ignore the situation indefinitely, though—just to minimize the amount of words you might have to eat later. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) One thing I love about you Rams is your willingness to try virtually anything that looks fun or interesting, without regard for whether or not you might actually be good at it. Some signs won’t attempt anything new unless they’re guaranteed to be successful at it. Boring! Yeah, some of the situations you’ve leapt blindly into it have turned out to be unmitigated disasters— but certainly entertaining, educational, and exciting ones! Continue to ignore the over-cautious counsel of your staid astrological neighbors. Don’t try to unlearn this thrilling quality. It’s part of what makes you you, and great. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Friendships end, and sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it. Occasionally it doesn’t even have anything to do with you. However, as a friend, you do have an obligation to at least try to figure out what’s happened and repair the damage, if at all possible. Step up, and make a meaningful gesture or three, even if you feel like things may have already gone on too long. Be the bigger person here, and make compassion and forgiveness your top priorities (rather than being miffed about what’s happened), and try to fix this bridge before it burns down completely. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Take a step back from the situation. Some scenarios (having an extramarital affair, for instance) are almost impossible to see clearly when you’re in the middle of them. Your own desires encourage rationalizations and illusions that cloud the issue. That’s not to say your most prudish friend is right about your circumstances, either — just that you’re probably not taking the long view. Try to picture yourself looking back on this time in 20 years, and guess what you’ll think about it. Will this turn out to be a mistake you’ll regret? If so, nip it in the bud now, to minimize W the misery later. To contact Caeriel, e-mail sign.language.astrology@gmail.com.

inner, winner, chicken dinner! Last Friday, I championed the first round of the Scranton Cultural Center’s “Dancing With The NEPA Stars.” It wasn’t easy defeating WNEP’s Sofia Ojeda or vice-principal Peggy Hart, whose stampede of supporters flashed pop-poms in the air all night. But at the end of the day, it came down to raising money, directly benefiting the SCC. It may have helped that I was the only contestant that earned a perfect score, or that I stunned the crowd in the flashiest Sarno & Son tuxedo while opening with a hip-hop dance alongside the University of Scranton’s dance crew, Urban Beatz. Nevertheless, I raised a substantial amount of money for charity and am now incontestably a “local celebrity.” After winning, everyone at the event treated me like a star! Jealous? No need! You don’t have to be a substandard reality-TV star like me to be given “star treatment.” In fact, here are a few lessons on how you can give yourself celebrity-esque treatment right in NEPA!

A
ccording to Niles “Cyrano” Hollowell-Dhar, one half of the production duo The Cataracs, the State of the Union for dance music is a positive address. “You go back 10 years ago and Eminem said, ‘Nobody listens to techno,’” recalled Cyrano during a chat on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” “So yeah, it’s definitely a better day and age for dance music.” The Cataracs have certainly helped push the latest wave of the genre in to mainstream. The California natives produced Far East Movement’s “Like A G6,” and have since gone on to work with the New Boyz, The Ready Set, and Dev, who was featured on the hook of FEM’s smash hit. “When people put you in the studio, sometimes they want to hear ‘G6,’” admitted Cyrano. “Really, when we made ‘G6,’ we were just sort of uninhibited, and we were making whatever sounded good to us at the time.” Clearly the thought process worked because now, in addition to the aforementioned artists, a one 50 Cent has tabbed the production team to create multiple tracks for his forthcoming album. “All throughout my high school, all we listened to was “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” and even before that, like “The Power of the Dollar.” I was a 50 Cent fan for the longest time,” Cyrano revealed. “(The songs we did for him) sound great. It’s natural, but it still sounds like some future, 2012 … it’s just really crazy.” The security that 50 Cent implements so that his tracks don’t leak sounds just as crazy. “I had to take the vocals to
work with them and (50 Cent’s people) had to put this effect, like everything was distorted, but I needed the stuff to work with so I could create the beat around it,” the producer said. “They put this really weird filter over (the vocals) so that I wouldn’t leak it.” 50’s people also didn’t tell The Cataracs when the songs would be officially released. “They’re still taking submissions for the last two or three songs, and then I don’t know when singles are going to come out,” said Cyrano. “I would think you’d probably hear it over the next two months.” Cyrano explained that due to the rapper’s schedule, most of the work was done without him in studio, but they all did work in person for the first time about five months ago. WARPED INVASION The Vans Warped Tour returns to the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain Thursday, July 14. The trend of acts from yester-year returning to the festival continues with tour alums 3OH!3, Paramore and Simple Plan all on the bill. For Paramore, Scranton marks the first of only six Warped dates the band will play. Certainly the shows will give Hayley Williams and company a chance to play with a new band configuration (two members left the group in December). Paramore may even test out some new material; the band is writing tracks for a fourth studio LP, tentatively slated for an early-2012 release. W Listen to The Ralphie Radio Show weekdays from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
