Our New Music Blog The first post we ever did on our blog (which later became The Range, our daily dispatch) was written by yours truly, on May 25, 2006. The title was “About Our Blog,” and in the post, I babbled about how excited we were about this awesome new online thing we were doing.

Well, two weeks passed before anyone posted anything else.

After that embarrassing lag, the blog got attention on a fairly consistent basis, although things didn’t really take off, for whatever reason, until a couple of years passed.

Whereas some publications have launched numerous blogs, we just had the one. We modeled it after Slog, the amazing blog of The Stranger in Seattle, in an effort to create one, easyto-visit location containing all sorts of good stuff.

By any measure, we succeeded. Today, almost 6 1/2 years old, The Range and its content have won numerous awards— including several national honors—and it is the driving force of TucsonWeekly.com. So, we’ve finally decided that it’s time for the Tucson Weekly to branch out, blog-wise, from The Range.

This week, just in time for Fall Club Crawl®, we’re launching We Got Cactus, the Tucson Weekly’s music blog.

While We Got Cactus will inevitably enjoy a smoother debut than our initial blog had back in 2006, we’re not expecting a problem-free launch. Some days will inevitably feature light posting, since things are so new. Of course, as we go through the process of building up the blog, some things will work, and some things won’t. There are lots of unknowns, but here’s what we do know: The amazing music coverage featured within the pages of this newspaper will carry over, in a bigger and more-interactive way, to We Got Cactus. It may take some time for us to get the figurative ball fully rolling, but we will—and it won’t take a couple of years like it did with The Range.

I urge you to head to TucsonWeekly.com and check out the new music blog. And if you have any ideas for We Got Cactus, please, drop me a line.

O

n the first of May in 1950, members of the Mosinee, Wis., American Legion—war veterans, all of them—dressed themselves in Russian military uniforms and staged a Red Dawn-like takeover of their small town.

The town’s mayor, Ralph E. Kronenwetter, was dragged from his bed in his pajamas and forced to surrender to his captors in the town’s new “Red Square” with a gun at his back.

Mosinee’s police chief, Carl Gewiss, was also rousted from his bed.

It was an ugly time in America. The country had gone through the Great Depression, followed by four years of a world war. After having crushed the forces of German fascism and Japanese imperialism, you’d think that the United States could catch its national breath. But instead, along came the threat of international communist domination, and the country’s collective itchy trigger finger was a-twitchin’.

While the communist threat was certainly real, it was made worse by those inside America who exaggerated and exploited it for their own personal and political gain.

Up-and-comer Richard Nixon would ride the Red Scare to victory in the 1950 California Senate race over Helen Gahagan Douglas (wife of Academy Award-winning actor Melvyn Douglas). Ever the guttersnipe, Nixon repeatedly referred to Gahagan Douglas as “the Pink Lady,” calling into question her patriotism.

The real star of the sleazy era was Joseph McCarthy, the U.S. senator from the state in which the takeover occurred.

It’s not surprising that the fake communist takeover took place in McCarthy’s home state. The legionnaires had chosen May 1 because May Day is celebrated around the world as International Workers’ Day, meant to commemorate the struggles of those workers who were oppressed or killed in the fight for fair wages and better working conditions. (I’m sorry, but that sounds like a rather American ideal to me.) I remember that, as a kid, I used to enjoy watching the footage from Moscow as the Soviets paraded every missile they ever made past a reviewing stand in which stood one obese leader after another, each one thinking, “Jeez, can we get this over so I can sit down … and eat something?”

(It’s a little-known fact that May 1 is officially Law Day in the United States. President Dwight Eisenhower declared it as such in 1958, and it became law in 1961. Eisenhower probably meant it as a screw-you to the populist tone of May Day, but Law Day was originally the brainchild of Eisenhower’s legal counsel, Charles S. Rhyne, who, at the time of the announcement, was the president of the American Bar Association.)

Anyway, back to the fake invasion. Roadblocks were set

up all around the town. The public library was seized, and books were purged. Businesses were shut down; members of the local clergy were rounded up and placed in a barbedwire stockade near “Red Square”; and local restaurants were only allowed to serve Russian black bread and potato soup.

As publicity stunts go, it was a doozy. It probably would have been an unqualified success had it not been for the fact that the mayor, despite being only 49 years old at the time, suffered a catastrophic medical event—either a heart attack or a cerebral hemorrhage—and died five days later.

Also, a local preacher, Will Bennett, who had bragged to the media how he hid his Bible inside the church organ, died in bed a few hours after the mayor did.

In the understatement of all time, Franklin Baker, the commander of the local American Legion post, said, “It was a terrible coincidence.”

I think about that story every time I hear somebody say the all-time-stupid line, “We’ve got to take America back!” Mitt Romney has been using that line more and more on the campaign trail, often to a thunderous response. Take it back from whom, exactly? From your fellow Americans with whom you just happen to disagree on a few items? It’s so lame.

It’s odd. I lived through the latter part of the Red Scare. I remember the Cuban missile crisis, which was (gulp!) 50 years ago this month, and I participated in the drills where we had to hide under our desks, perchance to survive nuclear annihilation. When I got to a certain age, I pondered the communist threat and concluded that it was way overblown. How could that system possibly emerge victorious over a country that had Motown, basketball and Julie Newmar as Catwoman? (That thought was formulated during my hormonal teen days and made perfect sense at the time.)

We should all acknowledge that we’ve come a long way from those days. While there are still (and will always be) a handful of nutjobs who see black helicopters and threats of a United Nations takeover, most Americans are relatively even-keeled.

This is, indeed, a heated and strident election. But if you step back and take a calmer look, you realize that, in the presidential election of 2012, we have a Mormon running against a black guy, and most of what they’re arguing about is money.

We’re still not where we should be, but that’s way better than the American Legion pretending to be commies and scaring the mayor to death.

GARGULINSKI OPINION

Bad things happen when people don’t buy local HIGHTOWER

BY JIM HIGHTOWER

A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR DINNER

BY RYN GARGULINSKI, rgargulinski@tucsonweekly.com

B

uying local is the best way to buy—and I’m not just saying that because I sell things in Tucson.

I’m saying that because there are so many phenomenal businesses around town that deserve our support.

Besides, bad things happen if you don’t support local companies.

Many of those businesses have been kicking around for years. Others have cropped up because, in certain cases, the employment market has made it easier to start one’s own business than find a fulfilling job. Then there are still others where people are attaining their dream of being their own boss doing something they believe in and love.

One of the most important elections being held on Nov. 6 doesn’t even have a Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian or other partisan on the ballot!

Yet this contest in California will likely have a huge impact on national policy and grassroots efforts to rein in the arrogance of corporate power that’s running roughshod Kudos to them all. Now buy something. over too many Americans. That’s why those Some small local businesses luck out by selling items powerful interests are going all-out to win in or providing services that it doesn’t make sense to obtain California, bulldozing as much as $50 milelsewhere—like tattoo shops or pizzerias.

And they’re putting into some of the big-money it’s always tough to set an appointment with an alarm guy or battles for U.S. Senate seats. electrical expert when they have to travel from out of state.

The people’s proposal is a straightforward, easy way to empower every consumer in the marketplace— and the corporate powers hate that.

get) that instant satisfaction of getting what you want now, rather than waiting by the mailbox for something you’ve ordered online.”

Quick thrills can do it every time—maybe. Then there’s the reality of it all.

“I admire the idea, but lack the strength of my convictions,” admits Nancy Hard, an artist in Austin, Texas.

But at least she’s fouling up an economy other than Tucson’s.

Seriously, though: Buying local is not always as easy or pleasing as we’d like it to be.

“Some things I buy have to be bought online, such as cameras and camera accessories, since there is not a local camera store,” says Tucson photog Rodney White II, who is clearly less enthused than Vaughn with the area’s photorelated merchandise.

White works for a locally owned company, but, alas, nothing it sells is locally produced. The same goes for some gifts shops and the like that are quick to stock their walls and shelves with products from anywhere but Tucson.

The eccentric shop Bohemia was well known for giving local artists a boost by showcasing and selling their works. It went out of business in January after nearly a decade.

That’s just one of the bad things that can happen if we fail to support the local economy and community. Another bad thing is an environment that looks and feels like too many other morose corners of the United States. Enter more box stores, strip malls and fast-food chains. At least most other places don’t have a saguaro nestled next to their Burger King sign.

Yet another bad thing is fewer connections with the community. Buying local gives us the opportunity to meet fellow Tucsonans who are working hard and helping to keep our city unique. Yes, it also means you actually have to leave the house instead of shopping on a computer screen, but that trek may be worth it (as long as you don’t do it during rush hour).

Meeting fabulous folks can also come from taking advantage of the organizations set up to help those who have taken the plunge into small-business ownership. SCORE immediately comes to mind, a nonprofit stocked with volunteers who have impressive business experience and ideas. We have George to thank for my freaky car design.

Local First Arizona is another helpful organization that offers business exposure and events for Arizona companies.

The eighth annual Certified Local Fall Festival hits Phoenix in November. Both SCORE and Local First Arizona may also provide ways for business owners to increase local sales.

Area businesses are not exempt from fulfilling their part of the equation by catering to and filling local wants and needs. This move can make Internet shopping less likely, provide the lemongrass for which I have been fruitlessly searching around town—and perhaps even give Rodney White a slate of camera stuff from Tucson.

OPINION

Hamway: Stegeman Has Been the Only Board Member to Pay Attention I would like to thank the Tucson Weekly staff, especially Mari Herreras, for the extremely diligent, professional and informative articles written on the recent Office of Civil Rights findings regarding the retaliation, and civil-rights violations that took place while I was employed within the Tucson Unified School District (“Finding Hope,� Currents, Sept. 27).

Superintendent John Pedicone and most members of the board, both past and present, appear to continue to deflect and avoid any responsibility for their actions, even in light of all of the evidence and my repeated attempts to address this matter with civility and dignity. My case involves not only children with special needs, but all children who attend TUSD, and staff members who try, albeit in silence, to meet each child’s needs with dignity and compassion, according to law and funding statutes.

In light of the actions of the many, I must draw attention to the one board member, Mark Stegeman, who has returned my phone calls and, according to his word, actively requested the documents and evidence regarding my case and those of the 14-plus students and families he is entrusted to represent.

While Stegeman avoided drawing any conclusions or bias regarding my case, he expressed concern and a desire to seek the truth. In my experience and opinion, Stegeman has been the only TUSD representative to base decisions on fact, not opinion, and for this reason, I must clarify his role in relation to my case and the OCR cases of the current and future children attending TUSD. Rose Hamway

It’s not easy to live—and it’s almost impossible to eat healthy—on $4 of food per day

BY ADAM BOROWITZ, aborowitz@tucsonweekly.com

I

have to start with an apology.

I’m sorry it takes staged events like last week’s SNAP Challenge to get us talking about what life is like on the bottom end of the economic slope. I’m also sorry writers like me wail like babies when we are coaxed out of our comfort zones and asked to cope with what Tucson’s less-fortunate residents deal with every day.

In my defense, it’s challenging eating only $4 worth of food a day—which the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona challenged citizens to do last week—when you’re accustomed to spending that or more on one meal. But thousands of local families receiving SNAP benefits, the modernday version of food stamps, are doing it right now.

The first day is easy. There are plenty of groceries, and you feel creative using the few ingredients you have. But it grows old when you end up skipping meals due to poor planning or just outright contempt for noodles and butter after eating them too many days in a row.

Which reminds me of the third day of the challenge, when I stood in my kitchen staring at a banana pancake with hatred and dismay. My $20 budget for the five-day work week allowed me to buy a box of pancake mix and some bananas, but I couldn’t afford anything to put on top of it. I was sick of the blandness, so I angrily rolled up the pancake and wolfed down as much as I could, chucking the rest to the dog.

This felt shameful and wasteful. After only a few days, I was already tired of it all, and I was feeding my dwindling cache of food to the dog like a spoiled little child.

It was depressing admitting that. I promised to do better.

I filled a Tupperware container with beans and rice from the night before and headed out to meet the day.

It was a busy day at work, and people were tired, so they pitched in for a coffee run. I really could have used a cup of coffee that morning, but it wasn’t in my budget. So as my co-workers walked around taking little sips, I glowered in non-caffeinated sluggishness. At lunch, people broke out lunch boxes spilling over with fruit and snacks and sodas, or headed to the cafeteria; I hurled myself into a corner and ate my bland little lunch cold, telling myself I should feel lucky for having anything at all.

This cycle repeated itself through the rest of week. I never ran out of food—almost, but not quite—but even being close to the edge gave me a sense of the panic some families feel.

I did it for five days. People thrust into poverty do it with no end in sight. On $4 a day, you can’t even afford to have anybody over for dinner. There’s an isolating component to it, and the only people who understand the feeling are those who have lived it.

I have lived it, and not just last week. I grew up poor, and

50% OFF

during one especially low period, I ended up wandering and homeless. Later, when things got straightened out, I spent years helping feed the homeless at Casa Maria soup kitchen.

So it’s not like I’ve never looked poverty square in the face. I know how to get by on very little, and I know how little many people get by on. But $4, per person, per day, is so close to the line that it’s almost criminal. For an adult, it is adequate if you double down on heavy carbohydrates and have the time to make everything from scratch. God help you if you have kids or any other responsibilities.

There is also no way you could feed a family in any sort of nutritious way on this budget. Wonder why obesity is on the rise in poor neighborhoods? Because carbs are cheap, and fresh vegetables are not. Carbs store well; vegetables do not. Frozen, fatty meat is also pretty cheap. You get the picture.

It’s good to remember that poverty is on the rise, so some of us could be taking the real SNAP Challenge sooner than we think. If that should happen, I suggest budgeting for things like syrup and spices. You’d be amazed how much things like that mean when you can barely afford them.

Will the Legislature ever give the state’s movie industry a break?

VETERANS AFFAIRS IN THE SENATE RACE

Arizona’s Film Future

BY TIM VANDERPOOL, tvanderpool@tucsonweekly.com

As various states responded with their own incentives, Arizona found itself left further and further behind. While the state did institute a tax-credit plan from 2006 to 2011, its effectiveness was hindered by several factors, including the requirement that 50 percent of film-crew members be local hires. If the percentage dropped below that threshold for any reason, the companies could lose their tax advantage. As a result, many projects “wouldn’t take the risk,” Hall says.

While some conservatives claim disgust with the idea of offering any breaks to film companies, Hall says those companies know they’re a valuable commodity “that are spending millions and millions of dollars in a short period of time.

One television series can spend $26 million in a six-to-nine-month period of time. And they can do it year after year after year.”

At the same time, Hall and other film proponents see smoother legislative sailing this coming year. For one thing, a primary foe—former House Speaker Kirk Adams—stepped down to run unsuccessfully for Congress. Boosters are also taking their message on the road, says Barry M. Aarons, a lobbyist for the MTCVB. “We’ve been doing forums all over the state, in Tucson and Phoenix and in Flagstaff. Those are designed to develop some grassroots.”

As November elections loom, Aarons says he’s also prodding film-industry folks “to write to the candidates, and talk to their legislators, and remind them that they need to tell their leadership that this is an important jobs bill.”

He also suggests that frivolous incentives are in the eye of the beholder. “Some of the folks who are opposed to our refundable credit didn’t have the same objection to another bill last year that had a refundable credit for manufacturers moving their research headquarters here.”

Aarons says he hopes Gov. Jan Brewer—who supported that measure—will be equally generous to the film industry. “There have been no commitments made from the governor’s office, though we did meet with her legislative director.

We said to him that if there are certain things that the governor might like to see adjusted to make her more comfortable with it, we would certainly be wide open to considering those.”

Back in the mayor’s office, the gathering pushed for a full-court press. “Just sit through the credits the next time you go to the movies,” Rothschild was saying. “Every one of those credits is jobs. High-paying jobs.”

Kozachik spearheaded the press conference, and he followed the mayor at the mic. “There aren’t a whole lot of ways to spin this,” Kozachik said. “This is a jobs bill.”

t was late September, and in the 10thfloor offices of Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, officials were salivating over the notion of reviving Arizona’s once-lucrative but now-moribund film industry.

There was Mike Varney, president of the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, and Brent DeRaad, chief of the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau. Shelli Hall, head of the bureau’s Tucson Film Office, was chatting with Ward 6 Councilman Steve Kozachik. Pete Mangelsdorf, CEO of Old Tucson Studios, wore the aerie enclave’s only bona fide denim.

After a few minutes, Mayor Rothschild brought the press conference to life. “We need the film industry back in our state,” he told the small, hungry crowd. “It creates jobs beyond cast and crew.”

From restaurants and hotels to transportation and insurance, said the mayor, “It takes a lot of real-world inputs to create the illusions you see on the screen.”

Ideological illusions hobbling our film industry apparently beg for a reality check, too: Thanks to right-wing opposition, Arizona is one of only two Western states that offer no tax incentives to lure film companies. As a result, those companies go elsewhere.

In response, film-industry boosters have spent the last several years laboring to pass an incentive bill in the Arizona Legislature, to no avail. The 2011 session was particularly heartbreaking, as a measure sponsored by Republican Sen. John Nelson of Glendale was killed by fellow Republican Jack Harper, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The bill would have provided a 20 percent rebate on taxable Arizona expenditures for film companies, and given them another 5 percent if they used locally based studios and hired Arizonans for their crews.

The $70 million cap would have included rebates for those who built soundstages and other facilities. Reaching that limit, says Hall, “would mean that they’ve spent $300 million in the state.”

The formula is similar to those in other states that now lasso millions annually in film proceeds. Among them is New Mexico; according to Hall, our eastern neighbor has leveraged its 25 percent rebate into more than $200 million in annual spending by film companies.

This concept of sweetening the pot was first embraced by Canada in the late 1980s, and it was terrifically successful; within a few years, the United States was losing an estimated $10 billion in annual film revenues to that country.

The Tucson Film Office’s Shelli Hall.

Of course, so far, it still isn’t a bill at all. But the councilman says he has approached State Rep. Bruce Wheeler as a potential sponsor.

Wheeler didn’t return a phone call seeking comment.

Meanwhile, time may be running out. After several years of falling behind other states, Arizona’s once-thriving soundstages and other facilities have either been shut down or moved elsewhere.

All of which exasperates people like Roy Zarow, business agent for the Motion Picture and Studio Mechanics Local 485. He told the group that he regularly confabs with big film companies. “And they say to me, ‘What’s with this state?’ And I say, ‘Well, it’s the politics.’

“I’m careful when I talk to them, because I don’t know if I’m talking to a Republican or an independent or a Democrat,” he said. “But it always turns out that I don’t have to be, because film in Arizona is understood by everybody as the last popular cause we may have going for us here.”

We saw three different polls in the U.S. Senate race between Republican Jeff Flake and Democrat Richard Carmona released last week.

One was from the GOP-leaning Rasmussen Reports, which showed Flake with a six-point lead (Flake 47 percent; Carmona 41 percent); one was from Carmona’s campaign, which showed Flake with a one-point lead (Flake 44 percent; Carmona 43 percent); and one was from Moore Information, which showed Flake with a three-point lead (Flake 43 percent; Carmona 40 percent).

That final poll was commissioned by HighGround, the political consulting firm run by Chuck Coughlin, the strategist who has guided Gov. Jan Brewer through her gubernatorial stint. The numbers led Coughlin to note on HighGround’s blog that the race has clearly tightened, and the key question was “which campaigns can grab the momentum in the next two weeks, and who can close effectively.”

To that end, Team Carmona released a hard-hitting TV ad comparing Carmona’s service in Vietnam to a variety of votes by Flake to cut funding for services for veterans.

Team Flake responded with a list of votes that Flake had taken to support veterans, and shared a statement from Sen. John McCain as validation.

“Dr. Carmona’s false and negative attack on Jeff Flake is exactly the kind of politics that Arizonans are sick and tired of,” McCain said. “These kinds of attacks aren’t going to help a single Arizona veteran get better care.

I’ve worked with Jeff Flake on veterans issues for 12 years, so I know firsthand that his commitment to Arizona veterans is strong.”

Carmona stood by his ad in a statement to the press.

“Sen. McCain is a leader I’ve always respected, even when I’ve disagreed with him, but Congressman Flake’s record on veterans’ issues is clear,” Carmona said. “Congressman Flake has voted against health, education and job-training benefits for veterans.

Congressman Flake even opposed the post-Sept. 11 GI Bill and combat bonuses for troops who were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I understand that Sen. McCain wants to support a member of his party, but his statement is a reflection only of his partisan politics and not the facts,” Carmona continued. “Both Sen. McCain and Congressman Flake know this ad is accurate—and my campaign posted the source documents to this ad to back it up. Congressman Flake is trying to run away from his record, but the 12-year congressman is going to find that facts are a tough thing to hide from.”

Team Flake, meanwhile, pounced on an Arizona Republic story that revealed Carmona had owned stock in tobacco companies while he criticized tobacco

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

The Steve Nuñez morning-anchor experiment has come to an end at KGUN Channel 9. The station confirmed it parted ways with Nuñez last Friday, Sept. 28.

Not that it was much of a secret: Nuñez, who did not respond to a request for comment, let the world know about the situation on his Facebook page.

“I’m SADDENED! I can’t STOP CRYING! BUT at the same time I’M PROUD that I accomplished my childhood DREAM of becoming a NEWS ANCHOR in Tucson. I’m GRATEFUL for the opportunity KGUN 9 gave me. I gave it My BEST. And, while it wasn’t good enough for our viewers, it was GOOD enough for ME, Camila and my family! I lost my job. But I walk away knowing I POURED MY HEART and SOUL into it.”

Meanwhile, KGUN has named Valerie Cavazos weekend anchor, replacing Tammy Vo, who left Tucson after a five-year stint to be closer to her husband, former KGUN sportscaster Jake Knapp, who now works in Phoenix. Vo, who grew up in the Phoenix area, graduated from Arizona State University and has family there.

Vo is uncertain about her future in broadcasting, but she’s pursuing an MBA at the UA’s Eller College of Management campus in Scottsdale, which she hopes may open up new opportunities.

IF YOU REALLY LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON …

I mean, if you REALLY like Michael Jackson, KWFM AM 1330 could be the place for you.

The, shall we say, “quirky” station, owned

by Dr. Stanley Sprei and operated by Dawn Avalon, returned to the airwaves over the weekend after an on-air absence. But instead of broadcasting its previous format, liberal talk, the station offered a heaping dose of Michael Jackson.

Just how heaping? All Michael Jackson.

All the time.

Last week, as some regular readers of Media Watch might recall, I visited the station in an effort to find out why it had been off the air for a week. I was asked whether I was “with the police force” before having the door slowly closed on me.

For those who called the station, the pat explanation for the lack of programming was that the station was waiting on a piece of equipment. Well, it apparently arrived, but perhaps with a stipulation: The equipment will only allow you to play one artist.

On Monday, Oct. 1, KWFM was on its third day of Jackson tunes. To the station’s credit, the playlist was varied, from his numerous singles to lengthy club remixes and live performances.

It’s possible that this is some terribly marketed gimmick to try to bring attention to a new format. Radio stations do this sort of thing all the time. For instance, when it flipped from its Bob format to Top 40, KSZR FM 97.5 played 10,000 songs in a row without commercial interruption. Well, not really 10,000 different songs. It was more like 14 songs in a continuous loop until they had played a total of 10,000 times.

Perhaps KWFM is doing a variation of the same thing. Announcing the station name only at the top of the hour—sometimes smack-dab in the middle of a song—is either an excellent effort at creating on-the-fly new Michael Jackson mixes, or a curious approach to a new trend known as “low-key” marketing.

Or KWFM may be taking its new moniker literally. A few months ago, during its call-letter changeover from KJLL to KWFM, the station rebranded itself from The Jolt to The Star. And the late Jackson certainly remains a star—perhaps the only one who will get play on what may or may not be the new 1330.

It also makes sense, in KWFM’s wacky world of backward logic, to make a format change after the departure of Alan Michaels.

When Michaels was hired earlier this year as operations manager, a flip to a music format seemed likely. After all, Michaels spent more than three decades in music radio and is one of the better-known local personalities.

However, a change didn’t happen during Michaels’ brief tenure—so, naturally, something occurred once he left.

I97.5 FEATURES A REAL, LOCAL PERSON Someone local on a Tucson Top 40 station? ’Tis true.

Carrie Moten began broadcasting with an actual live microphone on Monday, Oct. 1, from the studios of Cumulus’ i97.5, KSZR FM. Moten has been working a number of remotes for the station since it flipped formats a few months ago, but is now locked down in the midday shift, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“I’m so excited to be back in Tucson doing what I love,” Moten said. “Not only is Tucson my hometown—so every day, I’m right here talking about what goes on right here—I’m also able to give back to the very same community that has supported me from the start of my career in 2003.”

Moten was part of the Johnjay and Rich morning show when it was broadcast live from Clear Channel’s KRQQ FM 93.7 studios.

She relocated to Phoenix along with the program a few years ago, but eventually parted ways with the duo, who are syndicated on various regional Clear Channel stations.

Nearly all of KRQ’s programming is in some way syndicated or automated. Even though it has a fancy studio at its building at Fort Lowell and Oracle roads, the facility is rarely occupied. “Local” hasn’t been part of the equation for some time.

The same was true of 97.5 FM, which was completely automated during its Bob format run and stayed that way with the i97.5 format flip—until Monday.

“I’m a bona fide music freak. New artists are constantly popping up, and I am really passionate about introducing them to the mainstream audience,” said Moten, who also expects to cover celebrity gossip during her five-hour shift. “I also really want to dig in and get into all the cool local events, concerts, charities and fundraisers happening here, too. It’s the biggest benefit to living in the city you broadcast. You get to really physically get involved.”

Team Carmona told the Republic that the Democratic candidate had a broker who had included tobacco stocks as part of his portfolio, but that Carmona sold the stocks once he learned he owned them when he assembled his financial-disclosure statements for his Senate run.

Team Flake spokesman Andrew Wilder called the ownership of tobacco stocks “a major breach of trust with Arizona voters.”

Team Carmona spokesman Andy Barr laughed off the attack.

“If that’s the best they’ve got, we’re in pretty good shape,” Barr said.

Flake and Carmona will meet faceto-face for the first time next week.

BY ROBERT RAPPAPORT, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com bout 15 years after being infected with valley fever, a Kansas man is still feeling the effects of the fungal disease, and is now being treated in Arizona—where the number of confirmed cases continues to rise.

Joseph Couture of Wichita contracted the disease between 1996 and 1997 while he was stationed in Lamar, Calif., during a stint in the Navy. He first noticed a problem when he began coughing up blood. He was eventually diagnosed with the disease while serving in Okinawa, Japan. Symptoms progressed to extreme fatigue, fever, night sweats and a 25-pound weight loss.

“I’ve had two surgeries where they removed a portion of my left lung because of this,” he said.

“If I’m doing something, it feels like I’m ripping my scar tissue. I get a lot of pain in my left side from where they did the surgeries. It’s making it difficult to do shifts at work. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to give it my all at work and home. The biggest thing is feeling like I’m letting everyone down.”

Couture, now 37, still requires medicine for his symptoms. Because the disease is not prevalent in Kansas, and information is limited there, the Cessna avionics technician eventually contacted Dr. John Galgiani, director of the University of Arizona-based Valley Fever Center for Excellence.

Galgiani, also a professor of medicine at the university, is treating Couture at the center’s office in Phoenix, which opened in June. The Valley Fever Center is a partnership between St. Joseph’s Medical Center, the UA College of Medicine in Phoenix, and the Valley Fever Alliance of Arizona Clinicians.

Exposure to valley fever occurs after a spore from a fungus, which grows in dirt, becomes airborne and is inhaled. About a third of human exposures eventually require medical care, Galgiani said. The fungus also can infect dogs, cattle, horses, skunks, javelina and other species.

Although Galgiani is treating Couture for a case contracted many years ago, the number of new cases of valley fever in Arizona continues to skyrocket. Citing statistics compiled by the Arizona Department of Health Services, Galgiani said there was about a 38 percent increase in cases last year, from 11,888 in 2010 to 16,436 in 2011.

Even though the number of reported cases is growing, Galgiani can’t say for certain that there actually are more infections. Doctors are testing for the disease more often, and a state lab recently changed to a newer type of blood test that yields more positive tests, he said.

But the increase doesn’t seem to indicate that

It’s hardly an unbiased source, but earlier this week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released the results of a survey that showed Congressman Ron Barber leading his Republican challenger, Martha McSally, by 14 percentage points in the race for Congressional District 2.

The survey of 400 likely voters, conducted Sept. 27-30 by Grove Insight, showed that 54 percent like Barber, while 40 percent were behind McSally. Only 6 percent of the voters were undecided.

The survey also showed that Barber was viewed favorably by 51 percent of voters, and unfavorably by 32 percent.

The numbers weren’t as positive for McSally; 38 percent had a favorable impression, while 32 percent had an unfavorable impression.

The poll shows a larger lead for Barber than earlier surveys have. A July survey by Team Barber showed him with a 13-point lead, while an August poll by Team McSally showed Barber with a five-point lead.

Daniel Scarpinato, the former Arizona Daily Star reporter who now serves as a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said via email that the poll was skewed.

“Democrats know this poll is completely bogus,” Scarpinato said. “If it were even close to accurate, then why are they planning to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in television ads beginning this week to distract from Ron Barber’s record of walking lockstep with Nancy Pelosi?”

We’re a bit skeptical about the size of the lead in the DCCC survey, but

POLICE DISPATCH

BY ANNA MIROCHA mailbag@tucsonweekly.com

SHOTGUN SURPRISE NORTH VIA MASINA SEPT. 8, 9:47 A.M.

W E E K LY W I D E W E B

If It Bleeds …

A man who had just bought a new shotgun decided that his backyard—in a residential area—was a good place to test it out, according a Pima County Sheriff’s Department report.

Deputies responded to a call from a neighbor of the man; the neighbor and the subject live on a cul-de-sac in a high-end northeast-side community. The neighbor said he had been watering plants in his yard that morning when he heard what sounded like shots fired nearby. When he looked over his wall, the neighbor said, he saw the man firing at a bush.

The deputies went to the shooter’s house, where the man admitted firing the weapon and invited the deputies inside.

He told the deputies he had just bought the shotgun and acknowledged firing about 15 to 20 rounds at a bush in his yard.

The man claimed that he hadn’t been using actual shotgun shells, but instead was firing “primers”—shells empty of ammunition. Thus, he said, his shooting had not endangered anyone.

Nevertheless, the deputies arrested him on suspicion of disorderly conduct with a firearm.

ast Friday, Sept. 28, a man led Phoenix-area police on a lengthy car chase, after reportedly carjacking a driver and shooting at police officers. The chase ended more than 10 miles away from its starting place.

The suspect ditched the car in a field, wandered for a while, pulled out a handgun, placed it to the side of his head, fired and collapsed.

It’s a terrible thing to think about. It’s more terrible to have witnessed it live.

Yet thousands did: Fox News tapped into the stream of Phoenix station KSAZ, as it followed the chase via news chopper, narrating the incident in real time before switching to a delay when the suspect got out of his car.

The delay didn’t make a difference: Due to a miscommunication, it aired anyway. A man’s life was snuffed out in front of the eyes of thousands, with thousands more watching the video after the fact.

Fox News, to its credit, apologized immediately, saying in a press release that the broadcast was a result of “severe human error.”

What’s interesting to me is the reaction—namely, the questioning of why the practice of following car chases via news chopper continues.

Unfortunately, many in the media need to be the first to cover an event. It’s a matter of personal and professional pride to beat everyone else with the fastest, most-accurate and most-compelling coverage—and what’s more compelling than a suspected criminal obliterating himself by smashing into a median at 120 mph?

It’s outrageous—but modern television has become a festival of the grotesque, making the outrageous both commonplace and expected. I mean, Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo is the most-talked about thing on TV, for God’s sake.

As long as people keep tuning in, and keep talking about them, these incidents are going to keep happening. And that’s more disappointing than any child beauty-pageant contestant hopped up on sugar and caffeine can ever be.

A man claimed that he had been whipped by another man who came up to him on horseback while he was standing on his property, a PCSD report stated.

The man told the reporting deputy he’d been standing near where his horse was grazing when a group of three males and one female, all on horseback, rode up to him, laughing and pointing at his horse.

One of the riders, who was making fun of the horse because it was old, then took a leather strap and “whipped” it at the man, striking him across the hand, the report said.

Following the incident, the man said, the members of the group rode away.

The man told deputies he believed that the people on horseback had been drinking. He stated that he thought his alleged assaulter was a neighbor, and described him as about 6 feet tall and wearing a black hat and plaid shirt.

Deputies searched the area surrounding the man’s property but found no one that matched the description he gave.

No arrests had been made by the time the report was filed.

Barber is probably ahead. If it were a very close contest, we’d see the NRCC running ads here in Southern Arizona, as the political operation is doing for Republican candidates Jonathan Paton in Congressional District 1, and Vernon Parker in Congressional District 9.

Instead, as Scarpinato points out, we’re seeing the House Majority PAC, an independent campaign committee supporting Democrats, come in this week with a TV ad hitting McSally.

Andy Stone, a spokesman for the House Majority PAC, tells The Skinny that the super-PAC is spending $150,000 to run the ad over the next week.

Stone said the political committee is spending the money to ward off future support for McSally by third-party groups as they move their money from supporting a flailing Romney campaign toward efforts to win the Senate and hang on to a majority in the House of Representatives.

In other CD 2 news: McSally picked up the endorsement of Republican Jim Kolbe, the former congressman who represented much of the area for 11 terms before retiring in 2006.

“I’m enthusiastic about the prospect of Martha McSally representing Arizona’s 2nd District in Congress,” said Kolbe in a statement. “At a time when Congress is so divided, we need someone who understands what it takes to get things done. Martha has that leadership experience; her life has always been about bringing people together to solve complex problems like the ones our nation faces today.

She’ll do a great job looking after our interests in Congress, and I am proud to endorse her.”

The builder of homes for lowincome residents has preferences for where it would like to put housing—but it will take what it can get.

That made one of Habitat’s most-recent land acquisitions—a little more than 1 1/4 acres near Interstate 10 and Ruthrauff Road—significant, because it just happened to be in an area where the organization had been desperately searching for a place to build.

“This one seemed promising,” said Michael McDonald, Habitat Tucson’s executive director.

“It’s in the Flowing Wells area, which is an area that we’d like to work more in. We just haven’t had enough opportunities.”

Even more surprising for Habitat Tucson was the land donor: the Northwest Fire District, the growing quasi-governmental entity that seems to always be building a new fire station. In this instance, the district found itself with property it had no use for.

“It’s just sat vacant for a while,” outgoing Fire District Chief Jeff Piechura said.

Formerly the old Flowing Wells Fire District Station No. 2, the structure was closed as a station in 1996 when FWFD built a new station about a mile to the southwest. Not long after, Flowing Wells merged with Northwest, which used the old station as a maintenance facility until opening a more-modern building in 2004 near Ina Road and Interstate 10.

Northwest’s wildlands-firefighting arm used the property for training and staging for two years, but since 2006, the property has been dormant.

“We put feelers out in 2009 to see if there was any interest in buying the property, but there were no nibbles,” said Piechura, who on Friday, Oct. 6, is set to step down as Northwest chief after 24 years to run the fire department in Stockton, Calif.

But two years ago, Tim Graves, a Northwest captain, was out with friends, and the chitchat turned into a discussion about Habitat for Humanity. Graves took to heart the Habitat mission, Piechura said, and not long after, Graves put the fire district in touch with Habitat officials.

Discussions between Northwest and Habitat went smoothly, and about 18 months ago, the fire district’s governing board approved the transfer of the 1.28-acre property to Habitat at no cost, Piechura said.

“It’s a long-term investment,” Piechura said.

“We didn’t get anything from the transfer, but the transfer takes the property out of a nontaxable status and now places it back onto the tax rolls.”

That means that whenever Habitat starts

Democrat Nancy Young Wright, who is running against Republican Ally Miller for the seat of retiring Pima County Supervisor Ann Day, has picked up another GOP endorsement: Republican Pete Hershberger, who served in the Arizona House of Representatives for eight years.

Hershberger said in a statement that when he and Wright served together, he “watched Nancy work to unite Southern Arizona’s legislative caucus during a time when it was very difficult to attempt bipartisan work. I know her to be a courageous, hard worker who is connected to the entire community. Unlike her opponent, she does not seek to serve only a small, narrow segment of the citizens.

We need someone on the Board of Supervisors who will represent everyone and make thoughtful decisions based on facts, not ideology.”

Bill Hess of the Sierra Vista Herald (a paper which, like the Weekly, is owned by Wick Communications) was named the Daily Journalist of the Year. Non-Daily Journalist of the Year honors went to Cindy Yurth of the Navajo Times.

The Non-Daily Photo Journalist of the Year is Dave Brown, of fellow Wick papers the Arizona Range News/San Pedro Valley News-Sun. Oddly, the award was not given in the daily category.

Alexis Bechman of the Payson Roundup won Story of the Year honors in the non-daily category. Rob O’Dell nabbed the sole big award that went to a large daily newspaper: The current Arizona Republic reporter won the daily Story of the Year award for work he did at the Arizona Daily Star.

“La Esperanza,” detail, mixed-media drawing by Lester Aguirre, at Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery and Workshop.

PHILIP MELTON’S FINE LITTLE WATERCOLORS are like postcards from the West, quick and lovely sketches that capture big skies above and saguaros below.

His Arizona views are in an exhibition at Davis Dominguez Gallery that dissects wildly differing approaches to painting the landscape.

Take Five—Interpretations of the Landscape has its reception this Saturday night, Oct. 6. It’s one of nearly a dozen The Big Picture art parties in and around downtown. The free receptions kick off the season for the Central Tucson Gallery Association.

Melton has painted Saguaro National Park two or three times over, turning the beloved local treasure into beautiful cascades of colored washes and tints stretching out into infinity.

In the tiny “Saguaro National Park South,” the sky has taken over, its ultramarine wash flowing over the top of the paper. The rusty brown mountains roll low along the horizon; below, the sandy wash is in a delicate pink. The little lime-green saguaros are smaller than the nib of a pen. The mountains in the even lovelier “Saguaro National Park Southeast 2” reach their spiky peaks far up into the sky.

Melton tries out another old-fashioned technique—ink-and-wash—in handsome drawings of El Morro, N.M. Closer to home, he pictures the hilly country around Arivaca in pastels,

colors that are a touch cartoonish. He does better in his pastel of “Willcox,” a long view of the grasslands in ochre and green.

Melton’s miniature Western landscapes are so delicate that it takes a moment to adjust your eyes to the robust oils of Duncan Martin.

Martin is as in love with the West as Melton is, but where Melton uses tiny brushes and liquid washes to capture its charms, Martin mimics its wildness by slashing on thick layers of paint with fat brushes and palette knives. His untamed “Evening on the Chama” evokes the turbulence of that New Mexico river canyon.

The stream churns violet as it bends around a green isthmus; the cliffs glow bright orangeyellow in the last light.

Charlotte Bender’s acrylics turn the landscape another 180 degrees. She paints the Sonoran Desert and the Catalinas as a kaleidoscope of fantastical colors and shapes. You can still see the real desert in her diptych “Red

Agave,” for example, but the whirling plants veer toward abstraction, more joyous tilt-awhirls than sedate realism.

Diane Meyer is another gifted watercolorist, but her subjects here edge toward trite.

In “Scape of Anticipation,” two dogs frolic in the snow with red bows around their necks; they look like refugees from a Christmas card.

Thomas Chapin’s oils on canvas are expertly composed, but they’re muted, as though no sunlight had really touched the hills in his “Tuscany” or the foliage in his “Elfin Forest.”

Davis Dominguez Gallery is at 154 E. Sixth St.; 629-9759; www.davisdominguez.com.

Reception is 6 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 6.

Around the corner at Conrad Wilde, in Strange Botany, John Randall Nelson, another landscape painter, has filled the storefront window with a wonderfully simplified tree. The blue-leafed branches of “Drip Elderberry” break through a field of creamy encaustics. More of

his luscious encaustics are inside: “Ordinary Morning” pictures a berry plant, and the canvas’ seashore colors—weathered gray, light turquoise—spill out onto the frame.

Continuing the plant theme, Mary Meyer has stitched up five delicate little “Mirror Trees” in continued on next page OCTOBER 4 – 10, 2012

PICK OF THE WEEK

The Tucson Unified School District’s decision to end its Mexican-American studies program created a shock wave that affected thousands of people. With the program banished from local schools, the literature in its curriculum was abruptly removed from classrooms.

Zigzagger, by Manuel Muñoz, was among the books ripped from those classrooms. The collection of short stories relates the struggles faced by Mexican-American boys growing up gay in a macho environment. Muñoz also touches on the economic hardships, family issues and societal isolation often encountered by the Mexican-American community.

Muñoz, along with renowned Latina authors Sandra Cisneros and Helena María Viramontes, will read excerpts from their books and discuss the importance of literature at a Banned Books Week event at the UA. The week is sponsored by the American Library Association, and for 30 years, the week has promoted the freedom to read books that are banned, questioned or challenged.

When it came to Muñoz’s attention that Zigzagger was prohibited in TUSD classrooms, he was disturbed that students were denied the freedom of picking up a particular book.

“I am a teacher, and I know how essential it is to have students be as prepared as possible to think critically,” said Muñoz, who also is a creative-writing professor at the University of Arizona. “It is very disappointing to see how this issue has turned out. It made me think about how essential it was for me to be able to see myself on the page of a book, and I want young readers to have that same experience.”

Muñoz was born and raised in Dinuba, Calif., a small town near Fresno. Like many people in his hometown, the author, when he was a teenager, worked with his family in the local fields, harvesting grapes. He experienced firsthand many of the struggles he Manuel Muñoz puts his characters through.

Chicano readers turn to his stories for comfort and the realization that others share their experiences.

While growing up, Muñoz looked to the words of Cisneros and Viramontes for that comfort. Both authors emerged at a time when literature on the Mexican-American experience was often not within arm’s reach. Muñoz said the authors were of great importance in helping shape his vision of both himself and his community. He attributes who he is today to having had the opportunity to explore books from every part of the spectrum.

“I am a product of what happens when people are given a lot of access to literature and information,” Muñoz said. “Literature opened me up.”

Nowadays, Muñoz wants the younger generation to also use literature as a means to grow. However, events such as the banning of the MAS program have put a dent in this generation’s educational experience, he said.

“A lot of people are going to see our event as a response to a lot of the issues going on in Tucson right now,” Muñoz said. “Sandra’s book,

18 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

The House on Mango Street, also was in the (Mexican-American studies) curriculum and is now prohibited. … We will talk about how often our work has been used in other schools around the nation, and how important it has been for students to have access to literature that speaks directly to their lives.”

The theme of this year’s Banned Books Week is “Liberating Literature.” The three authors will address literature as a tool to learn about our diverse cultural surroundings, and how having access to a variety of ideas strengthens us. Muñoz hopes the event will make people more aware of the empowering nature of books.

“Liberating Literature” refers to setting books free—releasing them from dark, enclosed corners and putting them back in classrooms and on library shelves. Muñoz said it is important for us to liberate literature, because literature liberates us in return. Reading stimulates parts of our mind that would otherwise remain dormant.

“Everything comes down to our freedom,” Muñoz said. “Our freedom to read, much like our freedom of the press, is protected by the Constitution. We need to have a concentrated dialogue about books before we actually discount them. With this event, we are seeking to make sure that all books are available to everyone.”

Liberating Literature: An Evening with Sandra Cisneros, Manuel Muñoz and Helena María Viramontes starts at 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 5, at the University of Arizona’s Modern Languages Building Auditorium, 1423 E. University Blvd. The event is free.

SPIRITUALITY A Service of Love Fourth Annual Multifaith Pride Service: Love Wins 7 p.m., next Thursday, Oct. 11 Grace St. Paul’s Episcopal Church 2331 E. Adams St. 306-0157

Growing up in Tucson, Marc Paley felt a lack of inclusiveness in the faith community.

“It takes a lot of courage to be a spiritual person and be part of the LGBT community,” said Paley, coordinator of the LGBT Jewish Inclusion Project.

A few years ago, he took a step toward solving the problem by creating the annual Multifaith Pride Service.

This year, the service is the first event in the lineup for Tucson’s Pride in the Desert celebration.

“The idea was to let the LGBT community know that there really are warm and welcoming places in the community and in the faith community that embrace them,” Paley said.

Representatives from Jewish, Wiccan, Christian and spiritualist communities will speak at the service. Youths will read poetry, and choirs will fill the church with music.

New this year is a blessing of the LGBT community led by Mona Polacca.

She is a member of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, whose mission is “prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth,” according to the group’s website. Polacca has done healing work around the world, Paley said.

Attendees will also be able to sign up for a mass commitment ceremony to show their dedication to marriage equality. That ceremony follows the Oct. 13 Pride festivities.

Paley said he looks forward to watching audience members react as they engage in the service and listen to the speakers. He describes the feeling he gets by using the Yiddish word naches.

“It just refers to being filled with something greater than self; that’s how I interpret it,” he said.

Admission is free, but donations for the Habitat for Humanity Rainbow Build will be collected at the service. —M.D.

The recent Tucson Monsoon Sunday practices have involved less running and throwing—and a lot more singing and dancing.

The Tucson women’s tackle-football team has spent two months preparing for its first drag cabaret fundraiser, Moist Heat. The variety show will feature comedy, dancing, singing and gender-bending from the lady footballers.

“We’re not performers. We entertain in a very different way—we play football,” said running back Jacqueline Larriva. “We put pads on. We get sweaty; we get dirty. We’re good sports, but this is something that is outside of some of our comfort zones.”

The Monsoon team is starting its ninth season in 2013, and needs to raise money for player fees, travel costs and equipment. The team members and owner usually pay for these out of pocket, but league registration alone is $2,500.

The funds will also give the players a chance to dedicate more time to philanthropy, such as volunteering with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson.

“It’s really important as a Tucsonbased sports team to give back to the community we live in,” Larriva said.

Larriva first suggested a drag show as a joke. But her partner, a founding member of Fluxx, saw potential in the idea. The team and Fluxx teamed up— and Moist Heat was born.

Though Larriva invited her mother to the show, she warned her that it was going to be a little risqué. “Just so you know, I’m going to be half-naked,” she told her. Larriva’s mom assured her she would be there, cheering.

Admission is $10 in advance, or $15 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at www.tucsonmonsoon.com. —M.D.

For more than eight years, the Tucson son Botanical Gardens has given locals the opportunity to observe some of the world’s most exotic and rare butterflies—and now that it’s fall, Butterfly Magic is back.

“Butterfly Magic is the only live tropical butterfly exhibit in Arizona,” said Darlene Buhrow, director of marketing and communications at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. “We have butterflies from 11 countries.”

The butterflies are kept inside a greenhouse. The temperature and ch humidity level are regulated to match their natural habitats. Buhrow said the es at space houses 100 to 400 butterflies a time.

About 120 volunteers staff the pared exhibit, rotating daily. They are prepared ecies to tell visitors about the various species of butterflies, what countries they come ation from, and any other type of information visitors want. “We have volunteers who rely have written chapters of books entirely ott, on butterflies,” said Elizabeth Willott, the butterfly curator at the gardens.. “So they have a huge expertise.”

In the fall, winter and spring, the es for gardens host butterfly-related classes on on people who want detailed information the butterflies they will see. he “We want people to experience the magic of these butterflies,” Willott said.

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Find the answer during an evening of quirky British humor at the Valley of the Moon’s rendition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The show was revamped during the summer by Travis Deyoe, a University of Arizona electrical-engineering student who moonlights as a director, actor and writer.

“It’s the tale of King Arthur and his knights on the quest for the Holy Grail … only funnier, because there’s improv,” Deyoe said.

The 40-minute show includes classic scenes from the movie, like the Knights of the Round Table musical number.

But the more-risqué Castle Anthrax scene didn’t make the cut; after all, Valley of the Moon is a place meant for kids.

The cast is a quirky band of 12 volunteers who take on 28 characters in the show. Deyoe does cameos as the infamous bridgekeeper and as Sir Galahad.

The show was originally set to run only during the summer, but this is its second encore performance, said Randy Van Nostrand, president of the Valley of the Moon volunteer board. The shows have raised about $1,300 for maintaining the park.

Attendees should wear their walking shoes. Each scene of the production takes place in a different part of Valley of the Moon, which was constructed by George Phar Legler in the 1920s.

“Every area of Valley of the Moon is different,” Deyoe said. “You really have to work the scenes into each part of the valley.”

Admission is $3; children 13 and younger admitted for free. —M.D.

EVENTS THIS WEEK

Inés Taracena, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com

When and how was Tempest DuJour born?

I was created (as part of) a failed attempt to create an Amazon master race. It was sometime in the 1990s, when the Cold War ended, and the Soviet Union broke up.

What are some of the challenges you have encountered?

The greatest challenge is finding clothes for an 8-foot drag queen. I am an 8-foot, full-figured lady.

Who assists you with your makeup and clothing?

I make all of my clothes, and I will continue to do so until there is a giant, drag-queen drugstore down the street where I can shop for them.

Most of the time, I do my own makeup and hair for quality control.

Who is a strong influence in your life?

My biggest inspiration is a performing artist named Leigh Bowery. I always look for artists who are risktakers. I admire people who are willing to live on the edge, such as Pete Burns, the lead singer of a 1980s band called Dead or Alive, and Boy George.

Who is Patrick Holt?

He is the kindest, loveliest, biggest gentleman I have ever known.

What is it like having two children? Tell me more about them.

I am very protective of my two babies. My youngest one is 2 years old, and my oldest one is 6 years old. In public, I call them by the names Duvet and Cleveland. The nicknames were, of course, influenced by Michael Jackson’s Blanket and Paris.

They are truly the light of my life. They are two amazing, adopted children.

What is Retro Game Show Night?

Retro Game Show Night is an event where we re-create 1970s game shows. So far, we have cycled through recreations of Password, The Match Game, Family Feud and our take on Pyramid, which is called The $9.95 Pyramid. David Hoffman, my producing partner, and I created it. It started out at a bar called Colors, which recently closed. Since then, we have moved Retro Game Show Night to Club Congress, where it will be a monthly event after its comeback in October. … We have raised funds for organizations such as the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.

The upcoming one will benefit Tucson Pride in the spirit of Pride weekend.

Why should everyone come to Retro Game Show Night?

If you love the unexpected, it is a great place to be. … It is all based on crowd interaction and participation. … Also, it is important to know that this event is not exclusive to the LGBT community. One of the big reasons we have Retro Game Show Night is to bring everyone together.

What other projects are you involved with that benefit the community?

I do quite a bit of charity work. It usually comes in the form of hosting. I regularly host Turnabout for TIHAN and the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation Jell-Owrestling event. I also do a lot of benefit shows. … For example, a friend of a friend who had an accident and needs help to pay a medical bill. It depends on what issues there are at the time, and what is happening with local organizations at the time.

Coming up, I will be doing a political-themed drag show, where we will be raising money for a political organization. Drag can be very self-indulgent, and there is much more to it than that. I hope that is what I represent.

I am a queen with a cause!

Where would you like to see yourself in the future?

As the all-omnificent queen of the universe!

Genuinely Engaged

MUSIC

BY SHERILYN FORRESTER, sforrester@tucsonweekly.com ou usually don’t realize that you work hard when you attend the theater, but you do. To make theater, there is always “audience participation,” a phrase that strikes fear—or even contempt—in the hearts of many.

Actually, we like it that way. It’s probably one of the most attractive aspects of theater. It may seem like the actors, writers and technical folks are doing all the work. But even sitting in our mostly silent group, we engage our brains, our senses, our emotions. We may feel like sponges, merely soaking everything in, but we are busy, busy, busy—processing information, assessing, doubting, wondering, laughing, judging. And, damn, if that doesn’t make us part of the creative process, I don’t know what would. In fact, we are integral to the process. Without an audience, what happens onstage is essentially the sound of one hand clapping.

Etcetera, the late-night group associated with Live Theatre Workshop, has evolved—organizationally, at least—in a rather confusing way. It is currently presenting MixTape, labeled “A Theater 3 original production,” and it looks like Theatre 3 will create the works for which Etcetera is listed as the producer throughout its season. Also, the shows are not performed in a late time slot.

Whatever. What is clear is that the whole look and feel of the Etcetera experience has undergone an extreme makeover.

The talented and creative approach of Matt Walley and Angela Horchem, the forces behind this new venture, was unveiled last weekend, and there is no doubt that something unusual, fresh, challenging and entertaining has been introduced into our already-thriving theater community. If they can sustain the energy, originality and heart that are displayed with this inaugural piece, Theater 3 will quickly establish a fan base here, even though—or actually because—it asks us in ways a little more obvious than usual to do some theatergoer chores.

Walley and Horcham are graduates of the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre, where they received training to “make original work based on the power of the actor in the empty space,” according to the school’s website. This includes the use of masks and the tradition of the clown. In Tucson, they have been Rogue Theatre regulars, bringing a captivating brand of physicality to the Rogue’s often-unusual approach to traditionally scripted texts. As Theatre 3, they have teamed with composer and pianist Michael Martinez to create MixTape, a 90-minute series of original short works. Some feature Walley; others fea-

Angela Horchem in MixTape. ture Horchem; a couple feature the duo; Martinez’s influence is felt throughout. All feature wonderfully creative and skilled work.

The result is a whole lot of fun.

Walley, in the dress and demeanor of a traditional clown (don’t worry; this is no birthday-party-like thing), gets us started as he gradually—and with difficulty—drags a large trunk onto the stage from the lobby. He first encounters a problem because there’s no room for the trunk to pass; some members of the audience are in the way. With no words, he kindly persuades them to get up from their seats and give him room. Then, because the trunk is heavy, he enlists a young man from the audience to help get it up the small step onto the stage. As our representatives, these folks have sealed the contract that will commit our engagement for the next 90 minutes. The stage is empty, except for Walley and his trunk, but we are now part of the conspiracy.

Walley’s focused yet thoroughly gentle presence not only fills the stage, but the room. His energy invites ours in a way we cannot deny.

He is irresistible. His actions are simple, creative and funny, but our discoveries and attention are profound as we invest ourselves more deeply into the world he creates. This is not improvisation, but it is organic, and we are a part of it.

It’s really impossible to try to describe what actions occur onstage without the risk of saying too much or too little. MixTape is not really about anything, but it feels like it holds the potential for everything. There’s no plot, but there is story. It’s an experience, and it takes not only the players’ work, but also ours to create it.

MixTape Presented by Etcetera, created by Theatre 3 Live Theatre Workshop 5317 E. Speedway Blvd.

7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday; 3 p.m., Sunday, through Sunday, Oct. 7 $10 Runs 90 minutes, with no intermission 327-4242; www.livetheatreworkshop.org

Horchem is the more athletic of the two, and she inhabits space much differently than Walley. Often, she is much more abstract, but she is no less compelling, and she still quietly confirms that we are participants without, of course, our lifting a muscle. She discovers more personas than Walley; she also makes use of some beautifully crafted masks.

Some pieces are more successful than others. In particular, a couple of Horchem’s segments go on a bit too long. At a moment or two, my attention wandered, and that powerful connection of performer and audience was interrupted. I fell down on the job, but I think I was nudged.

The skills these two command, and how much respect they show for us, is quite amazing. And Martinez, who is also the executive director of LTW, contributes a strong but unobtrusive presence without which the production would be so much less.

In its simplicity, it is grand. In its creativity, it is a pleasure. As a joint venture—because Walley and Horchem engage so genuinely with us—Theatre 3’s MixTape rocks.

My 92.9 Stage 8 p.m.: Kristen Chandler 9 p.m.: Bryan Dean 10 p.m.: MIKE HEBERT AND THE PRISON BAND 11 p.m.: Mad Max and the Wild Ones (Utah) Midnight: The Far West (Los Angeles) My 92.9 FM brings us the following quality entertainment: Kristen Chandler’s subtly soul- and jazz-filled coffeehouse grooves at 8 p.m. will make for a lovely segue into the masterful blues guitarist Bryan Dean, who’s up at 9 p.m. Mike Hebert and the Prison Band, fronted by the titular guitarist, a longtime fixture in Tucson perhaps best remembered for fronting the Kings of Pleasure, are on at 10 p.m. Three young ’uns and their upright-bassist daddy, from Springville, Utah, constitute the family surf-rockabilly outfit Mad Max and the Wild Ones, on at 11 p.m. At midnight, it’s rollicking L.A. country-rockers The Far West, who should be due for a follow-up to their 2011 self-titled debut album any day now.

Tejano/La Preciosa Stage 8:30 p.m.: XS Band (Phoenix) 9:30 p.m.: XS Band (Phoenix) 10:30 p.m.: Hollywood Knights 11:30 p.m.: Hollywood Knights If you’re looking to kick up your heels to a little Tejano tonight, find your way to the Tejano/La Preciosa Stage, where the XS Band will hold court for two sets—one at 8:30 p.m., and one at 9:30 p.m.—and pick up right where you left off with the high-energy Tejano of TAMMIES winners Hollywood Knights from 10:30 on.

Rialto Theatre/KRQ Stage 8 p.m.: WOLF LARSEN 9 p.m.: Andrew Collberg 10 p.m.: Dry River Yacht Club (Phoenix) 11:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.: DeVotchKa (Denver) The Rialto and KRQ have teamed up to bring us what will amount to a gorgeously evolving buildup over the course of the night. Wolf Larsen’s voice has been described as “quietly operatic,” and she employs it against a sparse acoustic backdrop. She’s on at 8 p.m., prior to the exceptional Lennon-influenced singer-songwriter Andrew Collberg, who sounds even better with a full band, at 9 p.m. Phoenix’s nine-piece Dry River Yacht Club, which, according to our own Gene Armstrong, “plays a combination of rock, blues, folk and chamber pop, seasoned with pinches of Middle Eastern and Eastern European styles, pumped up with a vigorous gypsy stomp and showcasing the jazz-inflected vocals and fablelike songs of one-name singer and accordionist Garnet,” take the stage at 10 p.m. At 11:30 p.m., it’s the Main Event: the finest romanticgypsy-epic-purveying band in America, Denver’s DeVotchKa. Bud Light Main Stage 8 p.m.: Triple Double Band 9 p.m.: Skitn 10 p.m.: LeeAnne Savage 11 p.m.: Black Carl (Phoenix) Midnight: The Living Breathing Where would Club Crawl® be without Bud Light’s sponsorship lo these many years? This year, it is sponsoring the Main Stage, which sees its first action at 8 p.m. courtesy of Triple Double Band, a delightful jazz-pop combo that released >IV, a six-song EP, earlier this year. Skitn, five local dudes who dish out that whole beach-reggae (“Hey, we rock, too”) thing, are on at 9 p.m.

After about a decade removed from the music scene, and after a stint as Tucson’s dance-pop queen, LeeAnne Savage decided she was a country girl, and climbed back onto the stage armed with a band that believes in her almost as much as she believes in herself. (She cleaned up at this year’s TAMMIES.) Savage takes it to the stage at 10 p.m. Phoenix’s Black Carl brings their sultry desert soul at 11 p.m. The Living Breathing, who blend together everything from Arcade Fire-ish anthems and a familiar Tears for Fears cover to the yearning of emo and the ambition of Bowie, are on at midnight.

Hotel Congress Outdoor: Wavelab Studio Showcase 8 p.m.: Talk2Strangers 9 p.m.: Copper and Congress 10 p.m.: Ferrodyne 11 p.m.: Greyhound Soul Midnight: Saint Maybe The Outdoor Stage at Hotel Congress tonight is curated by the mighty Craig Schumacher, owner and operator of the downtown, Tucson-based, world-famous Wavelab Studio. He’s recently been working with the Lori LeChien-fronted lo-fi pop act Talk2Strangers, who kick off the night at 8 p.m. Copper and Congress, whose singer-songwriter Katie Haverly moved to Tucson about a year ago, already has a Schumacher-produced album, The Leap Year, released in July. It recalls everyone from Suzanne Vega to Bonnie Raitt. They’re on at 9 p.m., right before the understated dusty (and dusky) Americana of Ferrodyne, who take the stage at 10 p.m. Greyhound Soul, the pyramid of Arizona soul-influenced rock ’n’ roll, demonstrate why at 11 p.m. At midnight, it’s Saint Maybe, consisting of a frontman who was once the guitarist for, and a collaborator with, Patti Smith (Oliver Ray); a drummer who just may have been Dylan’s best (Winston Watson); and a loose coalition of collaborators of utmost professionalism. Their debut album is due out any day now on Fort Lowell Records.

Club Congress 9 p.m.: Oscillator Bug 9:40 p.m.: Kid Static (Chicago) 10:30 p.m.: Body Language (Brooklyn) 11:30 to 1 a.m.: The Hood Internet (Chicago) Club Congress has a reputation for hosting acts of all sorts, and tonight, there’s a national lineup of electronic dance music performers, starting at 9 p.m. with Oscillator Bug, whose herky-jerky rhythms have new wave’s DNA etched into them. Kid Static, formerly of the Chicago-based rap duo Yea Big + Kid Static, which has opened for acts like the Mae Shi and Bark Bark Bark, has gone solo. See what he’s up to at 9:40 p.m. Since the release of last year’s Social Studies LP, Brooklyn’s Body Language have collaborated with Passion Pit and Theophilus London, and just dropped a new EP, Grammar. It’s ’60s funk and disco as translated by machines and ethereal vocals. They take the stage at 10:30 p.m., just before the night’s headliners, Chicago’s The Hood Internet, take over at 11:30 p.m. The duo has garnered a reputation largely for rap and indie mash-ups, but it’s recently begun spinning out original dance tunes, too.

The District 8:30 p.m.: DJ Buttafly 9:30 p.m.: Bradford Trojan 10:30 p.m.: Chariots of Failure 11:30 p.m.: Al Foul 12:30 a.m.: The Pork Torta The night at this downtown watering hole gets started at 8:30 p.m. with a funk- and soulheavy set from DJ Buttafly, followed at 9:30 p.m. by the quirky pop tunes of Bradford Trojan,

who once fronted the Galactic Federation of Love, a much-missed band that included current members of Golden Boots. Chariots of Failure—you may have seen them before as Kamikaze Autopilot—perform at 10:30 p.m. If you’re not acquainted with the next two acts, how can you possibly call yourself a Tucsonan? At 11:30 p.m., it’s Al Foul, the undisputed king of Tucson rockabilly, followed at 12:30 a.m. by the mighty garage funk of The Pork Torta.

Zen Rock Main Floor 8 p.m.: DJ White Shadow 9 p.m.: DJ Super Mario 10 p.m.: DJ Phatal 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.: Kidd Kutz

The Screening Room 8 p.m. Short blues film 8:30 p.m.: Roman Barten-Sherman 9:30 p.m.: Stefan George 10:30 p.m.: Film program 11 p.m.: Billy Sedlmayr Midnight: Al Perry The Screening Room is more of a listening room than a bar, which suits its lineup tonight just fine. A short film about the blues will be screened at 8 p.m., prior to a couple of blues performers: Just because Roman Barten-Sherman is 9 years old, that does not make him a novelty act.

He sings and plays mostly traditional blues, but he’s even begun writing some songs. He will make your jaw drop at 8:30 p.m. At 9:30 p.m., Stefan George brings a lifetime’s worth of experience and the country blues songs he’s written along the way. At 10:30, there will be another short film, followed at 11 p.m. by the songs of Billy Sedlmayr, which are alternately fragile and beautiful, and righteously angry. He’s a survivor, and he’s got the songs to prove it. At midnight, Al Perry, “the mayor of downtown Tucson,” plays his immaculately written country songs and whatever the hell else he feels like.

Zen Rock Downstairs 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.: DJs Super Mario and Phatal On his Facebook page, DJ White Shadow recently noted that “a good DJ is like the conductor of a symphony.” See what kind of conducting he does on the main floor of this fantastic downtown dance club at 8 p.m. On Twitter, DJ Super Mario recently cited dancing as a “shortcut to happiness”; he’ll help you find the joy at 9 p.m. At 10 p.m., DJ Phatal, aka David Villarreal, keeps the beats going, before handing the reins to Hot 98.3’s Kidd Kutz at 11 p.m. When they’re not spinning on the main floor, you can find Super Mario and Phatal downstairs from 10 p.m. on.

Playground 8 to 11 p.m.: DJ Table Manners This relatively new downtown lounge is partial to DJs spinning all varieties of dance music, and tonight is no different, as DJ Table Matters spins from 8 to 11 p.m.

Playground Rooftop 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. DJ Nature The Playground Rooftop will provide the best view of the Crawl activities, along with dance music spun by DJ Nature from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

O’Malley’s 8 to 10 p.m.: DJ MGM 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.: Powerhouse DJs Knoccout and Soo This year’s Crawl has no shortage of dance music and DJs, and tonight, O’Malley’s follows that path. DJ MGM will spin from 8 to 10 p.m., and from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., it’s Powerhouse DJs Knoccout and Soo on the ones and twos.

The Hut Outdoor Stage 8:30 p.m.: Two Lane Blacktop 9:30 p.m.: Funky Bonz 10:30 p.m.: Fayuca (Phoenix) 11:30 p.m.: 8 Minutes to Burn The Hut (just look for the giant tiki head) will have both of its stages open for business tonight.

Things get started outside at 8:30 p.m. with a set of surf instrumentals courtesy of Two Lane Blacktop. At 9:30 p.m., the longtime local funk-rock outfit Funky Bonz takes over, followed at 10:30 p.m., by Phoenix’s Fayuca. At 11:30 p.m., the funky-ass jam band 8 Minutes to Burn caps off the night.

The Hut Indoor Stage 8 p.m.: Deceptively Innocent 9 p.m.: Salacious 10 p.m.: Grite-Leon 11 p.m.: Cosmic Slop Midnight: SUGAR STAINS 1 a.m.: Despondency Denied Meanwhile, the indoor stage at The Hut will see its first action at 8 p.m. with a set by Deceptively Innocent, a trio of teenagers schooled in infectious punky pop. Salacious performs a smooth blend of roots reggae, hip-hop and pop at 9 p.m.

Influenced equally by Santana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Latin progressive rockers Grite-Leon take over at 10 p.m., just before the P-Funk acolytes Cosmic Slop tear the roof of the sucker at 11 p.m. At midnight, the ladies of Sugar Stains crank out short, sharp punk tunes.

And at 1 a.m., Despondency Denied sticks a fork in the night with a set of blues rock.

Martin’s Comida Chingona 7 to 9 p.m.: Salvador Duran The authentic Fourth Avenue Mexican eatery hosts world-renowned Mexican balladeer Salvador Duran and his trusty stomp-box from 7 to 9 p.m.

Café Passe 7 p.m.: Catfish and Weezie 8 p.m.: Hank Topless 9 p.m.: Andy Hersey This delightful Fourth Avenue café has been hosting live country music each Saturday for months now, and as they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Tonight, it hosts a killer triple bill: The duo of Louise Le Hir and Connor Gallaher are Catfish and Weezie, who play a dreamy, lovely take on country at 7 p.m. Hank Topless, one of Tucson’s finest songwriters, is also blessed with a gorgeous baritone. He’s up at 8 p.m., just before the cowboy rock ’n’ roll (with a serious twang) of Andy Hersey, at 9 p.m.

Sacred Machine Museum 9 p.m.: d[foRm] 10:30 p.m.: Blind Divine The Congress Street art gallery, owned and operated by Daniel Martin Diaz and Paula Catherine Valencia, is currently in the midst of a monthlong celebration called the Santa Muerte Music and Arts Festival, which includes works by 27 world-renowned artists. The art will provide a lovely backdrop for the musical performance by, at 9 p.m., d[foRm], whose sound is an ambitious blend of ambient electronic textures and aural manipulations. At 10:30 p.m., Diaz and Valencia’s own band, the moody, gothic Blind Divine, close out the night.

Iguana Café 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.: The Benjamins At this downtown café and tavern, it’s all about The Benjamins, who play classic-rock covers tonight from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Cushing Street Bar and Restaurant 7:30 to 10 p.m.: Jeff Lewis and Friends Jeff Lewis, onetime president of the Tucson Jazz Society’s board of directors, performs with friends at this downtown mainstay tonight from 7:30 to 10 p.m.

om tucsonweekly.c ND, mailbag@ LU D E SW IC R

BY E

FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, DEVOTCHKA pushed their dramatic, orchestral music to fuller and bigger arrangements.

And, no surprise, Nick Urata found he could only push that sound so far before borrowing an entire orchestra to do it.

With their romantic, gypsy-Latin folkrock apparently ready-made for grandeur, DeVotchKa joined the 60-plus-member Colorado Symphony Orchestra for a pair of performances in February, then brought the show outdoors to the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre late last month.

“Musically, it was amazing,” Urata says.

“We’ve always been trying bigger and bigger arrangements on all of our albums and our film projects, and we have many friends in the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, so it’s a collaboration we always wanted to try.”

The Sept. 20 CSO show was also a bit of a personal triumph for Urata, who spent some time working at Red Rocks as a “glorified towel boy.”

“I was a production assistant at the venue

for years when I was younger, so it was a nice redemption to go back as a performer,” he says.

This fall, DeVotchKa will follow up 100 Lovers (ANTI-, March 2011), with a live album recorded during the band’s performance with the CSO in February at Denver’s Boettcher Concert Hall.

“We’ve always been outside the norm, and this is just a bigger, better example of that. It’s tricky working with all those microphones and all those performers at once,” Urata says. “We rehearsed the set a few times before we had an audience. Oddly enough, the night we recorded happened to be the one perfect night when everybody got it right, and it was one of those rare moments that was captured on tape.”

DeVotchKa has been in contact with other symphonies around the country and in Europe about future collaborations—perhaps even in Tucson.

“Symphonies are much more open to performing with artists of our ilk these days,” Urata says. “It’s a truly beneficial thing, and it’s CONTINUED ON CC11

BY GENE AR

“LET ME START THIS INTERVIEW BY ASKING you a couple of questions,” said the Hood Internet’s Steve Reidell when I called him on his cell phone.

“First of all, we’ve never been to Tucson, but we hear Club Congress is a really cool place to play—and what’s all this about Club Crawl®?”

Some answers clearly were in order, seeing as Reidell, better known as STV SLV (pronounced Steve Sleeve), is half of the Chicago-based hiphop/dance duo that’s the headliner on Club Congress’ indoor stage at Saturday night’s Fall Club Crawl®.

Club Crawl®, presented by the Tucson Weekly, is a twice-yearly tradition in the Old Pueblo, during which dozens of local and touring bands of many different styles play on the same night at more than 25 venues and stages in the Fourth Avenue and downtown areas. Thousands buy wristbands to allow them the pleasure of migrating to and from nightclubs, theaters and outdoor stages to enjoy live music and—if we’re being honest here—indulge in no small amount of lubricated revelry.

Reidell, thus informed, enthusiastically attested that he and his musical partner, ABX (aka Aaron Brink), indeed were down for playing Club Crawl®. The Hood Internet will top a bill that will include fellow Chicago artists Kid Static and Oscillator Bug, as well as the Brooklyn, N.Y., group Body Language.

The Hood Internet is on the road to promote their first official album, FEAT, which was released this week. Until now, Reidell and Brink have made their names as the purveyors of insanely catchy remixes and mashups, borrowing from and interpreting the work of a wide variety of other artists.

If you’ve ever wondered how tUnE-yArDs and Rihanna might sound in the same song, or were curious about the results of a melding of Passion Pit and Big K.R.I.T., or how TLC might mesh with Holy Ghost!, the Hood Internet have provided the answers on customized mixtapes.

FEAT is the duo’s first album of wholly original productions, but they haven’t given up combining disparate players in one song. In fact, the title is a play on words—not only is the album a

feat, but every song on it highlights guest artists, a fact which traditionally is denoted on playlists and album credits with the notation “feat.,” short for “featuring.”

“We did a thing last year that had a few original productions, and we have always been heading in this direction, so now that we are sort of known for this sort of thing, it has been easier to get some of our favorite artists together for this record,” Reidell said.

The album features the Hood Internet collaborating with folk-turned-electronic artist Class Actress and hip-hop MC Cadence Weapon on “Critical Captions,” and bringing singer Annie Hart (of the indie band Au Revoir Simone) together with Chicago hip-hop crew BBU on “Won’t Fuck Us Over.” The standout cut is “One for the Record Books,” which boasts a collaborative coup in A.C. Newman (singer-songwriter from pop-rock band the New Pornographers) and rapper Sims.

Tucson-based rapper Isaiah Toothtaker, by the way, also appears on the track “Nothing CONTINUED ON CC11

bY Wbjagbja GhVfba Concerned about getting to Club Crawl®?

Don’t be. It’s easy. Really.

How is the streetcar construction affecting the Club Crawl® layout?

Good news: We are still using Congress Street between the Rialto Theatre and Hotel Congress, and Fifth Avenue between Broadway Boulevard and Toole Avenue, to host three of our outdoor stages. However, the section of Congress Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues is slated to remain under construction, and will not be part of this fall’s event.

Where can I park?

The closest parking sits in the new Centro parking garage, just east of the Rialto Theatre.

This garage can be accessed from westbound Broadway. You will turn right into the garage just after the southbound Toole exit. Parking is $5, and you can park all night.

The next-closest parking garage to the event is at the corner of Pennington Street and Sixth Avenue. To access this garage, head south on Stone Avenue; turn left on Pennington; then travel east to the Scott Street entrance. There are 750 parking spots here, and the price is only $3 for the entire night.

There are also 1,000 on-street parking-meter spaces near Club Crawl® that are free after 5 p.m.

The La Placita garage, at Church Avenue and Jackson Street (one block south of Broadway),

has an additional 500 spaces.

With four other large parking garages nearby, the number of parking spaces downtown totals 14,000. In other words, there’s plenty of cheap, accessible, nearby parking!

For more parking information, go to Tucson’s Parkwise site at parkwise.tucsonaz.gov/ parkwise/where-can-i-park-downtown.

How do I get into Club Crawl®?

How do I avoid the lines?

There will be one main entrance to Club Crawl®, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Toole Avenue. We always advise folks to show up early to beat the rush and enjoy of all the great acts we have scheduled at Club Crawl® starting at 8 p.m. However, even during the rush, we’ll have plenty of people working the line to get everyone into the enclosure quickly.

How do I get a VIP pass?

What does that do for me?

VIP passes can be purchased for $15 in advance, or $20 at the door. There are a limited number available, so we advise you to go to either Zia Record Exchange location to purchase yours before they run out. VIPs will have their own entry lane at the main entrance. The VIP passes will also get you to the front of the line at all of the venues.

How do I get priority seating for the DeVotchKa show at the Rialto Theatre during Club Crawl®?

Special priority seating will put you either in front of the stage or in a reserved seat in the balcony. These tickets can be purchased for $15 and will also include a Club Crawl® wristband.

They are available only through the Rialto box office at 318 E. Congress St., or online at www. rialtotheatre.com. Please note there is a limited number available—so get your tickets now!

Fall Club Crawl® 2012 ®

s r e m r o f r e see these p

WAVELAB STUDIO IS TEAMING UP WITH CLUB Crawl® to host a showcase at the Hotel Congress outdoor stage.

Craig Schumacher, owner of Wavelab Studio, is also the producer and engineer for beloved acts such as Neko Case, Calexico and this year’s headliner (playing at the Rialto Theatre), DeVotchKa. In fact, it was Schumacher who pursued DeVotchKa and got the group to come to Tucson to be part of Club Crawl®. Having just purchased the building that houses his studio at 111 S. Sixth Ave., Schumacher is fervent about taking a role in downtown’s development: He wants to help shape the vision for our city center.

“I am committed to the music scene here and the vitality of downtown more than ever,” he says. That means a lot coming from a guy who has operated one of the nation’s most-respected recording studios, located downtown, for the past 20 years. During Club Crawl®, he will be performing with three of the five bands that are on his showcase: Copper and Congress, Greyhound Soul and Ferrodyne, of which Schumacher is a permanent member.

Schumacher is also busy teaching recording techniques at Scottsdale Community College and is in the middle of producing for the Dry River Yacht Club at the college’s studio. At his suggestion, the band will open for DeVotchKa at the Rialto Theatre. Dry River Yacht Club is a feisty nine-piece ensemble that combines folk, rock and world rhythms into a concoction that is tied together by the sensuous vocals of the one-name-only Garnet. The seven-song EP is already a favorite on KXCI FM 91.3, but if Schumacher can put his magic touch on their new recording, this band is likely to attract audiences around the world.

Also coming down from Phoenix will be

atures Club Crawl® fe ned bands, w numerous reno Js D musicians and

Black Carl and their desert soul sound. Their 2009 album, Borrowed, clearly defines their style: soul and funk music with an edge of rock ’n’ roll, all of which is carefully sewn together by the rich vocals of Emma Pew. It’s a retro sound emanating from the 1960s and early ’70s, when the great soul and funk artists of the day, such as Otis Redding, James Brown and the Meters, heavily influenced rock bands. But the sound of Black Carl is also refreshingly new; you get the sense that they are not trying to copy anyone.

The band followed up Borrowed with three seven-inch records: The Chariot, The Hanged Man/The Magician and The Fool. Black Carl will perform on the Bud Light Main Stage at 11 p.m.

Headlining the My 92.9 stage at midnight will be The Far West. The Los Angeles band is rapidly becoming one of the hottest Americana acts on the Left Coast. Their sound is part Byrds, part honky-tonk and a whole lotta Texas roadhouse. Lead singer Lee Briante has a voice reminiscent of John Prine, and he is backed by a tight four-piece band. But the real magic of The Far West is the wealth of songwriting that comes from Briante and bassist (and founding member) Robert Black. Songs such as “Bitter, Drunk and Cold,” “Bound to Lose” and “Not Far to Fall” are three of the 14 originals that fill their self-titled debut CD. This will be the third time the band has played in Tucson in the past year and a half. Band members have been to Club Crawl® before—as music fans. Tucson is becoming a home away from home for the group. As Briante puts it, “We love the town, and the people have always been great to us. We can’t wait to get back for Club Crawl®.”

Also playing the My 92.9 stage and making an encore Club Crawl® appearance will be rockabilly band Mad Max and the Wild Ones featuring a father (Mad Max) and his three sons

(the Wild Ones). They last played Club Crawl® in 2010, when many in the audience believed they stole the show. Duke Maxwell is the lead singer and the youngest brother, and last time they played, he was only 10 years old. Two years later, with many more miles under his belt, the 12-year-old is starting to tear things up. Wyatt is the oldest son and perhaps the most talented.

He is being recognized as one of the hot new rockabilly guitarists, somewhat in the vein of Brian Setzer. He also tours with Wayne “The Train” Hancock as his lead guitarist. Mad Max and the Wild Ones are currently recording new material. By the looks of it, they will do nothing but get better with age.

There will be plenty of chances to dance at the Fall Club Crawl®. The event has always been about live music, but several venues this year will concentrate on dance music. Club Congress will have The Hood Internet; read Gene Armstrong’s feature elsewhere in this issue. Traveling with them are Body Language, an electro pop quartet from Brooklyn, N.Y., that combines dance, funk, soul and a hint of pop; Kid Static, a hip-hop and soul artist from Chicago; and dance-band Oscillator Bug. If that isn’t enough for you, several DJs will be on hand to play dance tunes. The Playground will feature DJ Table Manners downstairs from 8 to 11 p.m. Then DJ Nature takes the party to the rooftop from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

O’Malley’s, the Fourth Avenue nightspot, will also be a mecca for DJs. First up, at 8 p.m., is DJ MGM. From 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., the Powerhouse DJs will be setting up shop. Known as DV-DJs, they specialize in mixing music videos to keep the party going. DJ Knoccout spins from 10 to midnight, with DJ Soo handling the chores from midnight to 2 a.m.

corned beef and an unbelievable selection of old-fashioned ice cream. The Hub sits right in the middle of all the action, but it is also a great place to get a respite from the crowds with a drink at the bar and some food in the dining room. When you are ready to party, all you have to do is go next door, where Playground will be pumping up the volume with DJs Table Manners and Nature.

HOOD INTERNET CONTINUED FROM CC6

Should Be a Surprise” with the Chicago indierap collective Show You Suck.

Reidell said the Hood Internet wanted to take their music to the next level with FEAT. “We’ve been making mixtapes for a while now.

We just wanted to take it a little further, seek out artists we love, and make a bunch of songs around them. We really wanted the best songs to sound like the stuff people already downloaded from our website.”

If you visit that site (thehoodinternet. com), you’ll be directed to others, such as Soundcloud and Bandcamp, through which you can obtain free downloads of most of the Hood Internet’s previous work.

Reidell said he and Brink are curious to see if their audience actually will pay for the new album. “I really don’t know what’s going to happen with it. People don’t really like to pay for music anymore. I guess we will find out.”

He said past collections were free because they so prominently featured the borrowed work of other artists. “We would really have had no business selling the mixtapes and mash-ups we made in the past. But when we worked with other people on the new material on this album, we certainly felt they should be compensated for the work they did on it. So that’s one of the biggest reasons we are selling this one.”

In a world that has more music than ever, the Hood Internet tries to make sense of it all.

Reidell said that he and Brink grew up listening to their parents’ pop and rock albums, and they became enamored of the Beatles, the

Beach Boys, punk, metal and indie rock, not to forget hip-hop and electronic. They played in bands together over the years.

Naturally, Danger Mouse’s The Grey Album—a pioneering 2004 mashup that mixed unauthorized samples from the Beatles’ “White Album” with raps from Jay-Z’s The Black Album—was a significant milestone for the duo. But so was the soundtrack album from the 1993 movie Judgment Night, on which rappers collaborated with alternative rockers.

“The track with Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul from that record is still one of my favorite songs,” Reidell said.

The current tour by the Hood Internet won’t have many of the guest artists from FEAT. It’s not as if the Rosebuds, Astronautalis or the Chain Gang of 1974 can go on the road with the duo to perform one song each. But Reidell was pleased to report that opening acts Kid Static (who also appears on FEAT) and Oscillator Bug will play with the Hood Internet to re-create some of the tunes from the album. Other special guests may pop up as well.

“There are going to be a lot of mashups that the audience will be familiar with, with some of the new album, and maybe something completely out of the blue,” Reidell said. “But we’ll keep them dancing.”

Catch the Hood Internet at 11:30 p.m. at Club Congress.

DEVOTCHKA CONTINUED FROM CC5

something we’d like to continue doing. It’s hard to come down from that cloud of all those players holding you up.”

Though they’re based in Denver and frequently tour the world, much of the creative work for DeVotchKa (Urata on vocals, guitar, piano, trumpet, theremin and bouzouki; Tom Hagerman on violin, accordion and melodica; Jeanie Schroder on sousaphone, upright bass and vocals; and Shawn King on drums, percussion and trumpet) starts in Tucson.

Craig Schumacher’s WaveLab Studio has been DeVotchKa’s recording home for most of the band’s run, including the breakthrough Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack, which earned a Grammy nomination.

“We ended up in Tucson by chance,” Urata says. “One of the joys of being a traveling musician is you get to meet and play with so many great players. Joey and John (Burns and Convertino, of Calexico) happened to be at Plush when we played our first show there, and they invited us to play some shows.”

The friendship and collaboration has proved fruitful: WaveLab has given DeVotchKa a unique and creatively rich environment in which to record.

“I felt like there was a strong connection there to the past. Staying at Hotel Congress and working in that old building with Craig and using all that analog gear and hearing the old train line cranking past every night, it felt like I was transported back in time. That’s what keeps us coming back,” Urata says. “It’s always good to step out of your comfort zone

when you’re creating. Tucson in July is not comfortable, but it makes for good music, because you’re trapped indoors, and you just have to keep working.”

DeVotchKa’s unorthodox sound and versatility were built in right at the start, when the band played backing music for burlesque shows. Stepping a good way outside of the norm was a very conscious decision, Urata says.

“When we started the project, we wanted to do something different. At the time, everyone was locked into the standard lineup of guitar, bass, drums, keyboards. You had to have those things, but I started looking outside that,” he says. “It was a big goal of mine just to find different instruments to work with onstage and in recordings. One of the first people I hooked up with was Jeanie, and I found out she was a tuba-player, and we started replacing as many bass lines as we could.”

The band’s unorthodox style also translates into an undeniably cinematic sound. Urata composed most of the score for 2009’s I Love You Phillip Morris, and Little Miss Sunshine filmmakers Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton returned to Urata to compose music for their follow-up, this year’s Ruby Sparks.

“It’s a very different process,” he says.

“Logistically, you don’t realize how much more freedom you have to write an album than you do when you write a film. What’s happening on the screen and in the story dictates the music, and the directors are a huge part of it.

An album can go anywhere; a film has boundaries.”

But Urata says he enjoys the opportunity to reach listeners in an entirely different manner, as well as the challenge that film work presents for DeVotchKa. “You’re reaching people on a subconscious level, which is an interesting way to work.

You’re tinkering with their emotions, and they may not even know it,” he says. “It also backs you into a musical situation you’d otherwise never be in, so it brings forth music you might have never stumbled onto yourself.”

Recently, Urata and Hagerman contributed to the debut album from Sergio Mendoza’s Y la Orkesta project. Mendoza plays keyboards with DeVotchKa on tour, and Urata says he was glad to return the favor, taking the lead vocal on “Sueños Amargos.”

“We were in our bus somewhere in Europe, and he introduced me to that song, and it was about a lonely musician losing his girlfriend on the road, so I could relate,” Urata says.

In between everything else, Urata has begun writing new songs for another DeVotchKa album, and is planning again to record in Tucson, hoping to recapture that creative burst that’s served the band so well.

“As a musician and writer, that, for me, is the greatest place to be: on the other end of a microphone recording—that’s where the magic happens.”

DeVotchKa performs at 11:30 p.m. at the Rialto Theatre. While anyone with a Club Crawl® wristband will be admitted to the show, a limited number of $15 tickets (includes Club Crawl® wristband; available at the Rialto) guarantee a seat in the balcony or a special section in front of the stage.

Whole Hog

BY MARGARET REGAN, mregan@tucsonweekly.com efore Danny Lyon graduated from the University of Chicago in 1963, he was well on his way to a career that would transform the very idea of what photography is.

The summer before his senior year, he worked as a staff photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the civilrights-activist group. He traveled South and made gorgeous shots of protesters dropping to their knees on the streets in prayer, or being hauled off to jail by the cops. But Lyon was no objective observer: He landed in jail in Georgia that year with other activists, including the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. And back in Chicago, while still an undergrad, he rode with the Chicago Outlaws motorcycle gang. Lyon was a club member in good standing, but he was also a photographer, and once again, he took beautiful black-andwhites. This time, the pictures were of bikers idling by their machines, or carrying the coffin of a fallen rider, or roaring down a highway into America.

“I was a bike-rider, a photographer and a history student, probably in that order,” Lyon wrote many years later in Memories of Myself.

Lyon, who’s making two appearances in Tucson this weekend (see the info box for details), published the civil-rights photos before he graduated, and he published The Bikeriders as a book in 1968, when he was just 26 years old. The still-influential civil-rights photos were praised early on, but The Bikeriders was “the project that put Danny on the map,” says Terry Etherton, who is exhibiting the motorcycle work at Etherton Gallery.

But Lyon didn’t stop with the bikers. Before the 1960s were out, he had documented the historic lower-Manhattan neighborhood that was swept away to make room for the doomed Twin Towers. He photographed Uptown Chicago, a district of poor white migrants from the South.

And he made his most-acclaimed work of all, Conversations With the Dead, photographs of Texas prisons that make you want to fall down on your own knees and thank God you never committed a crime in the Lone Star State.

By 1970, Etherton says, Lyon became the youngest University of Chicago grad ever to be named a “distinguished alumnus.”

The self-taught Lyon is not a strict documentarian. He’s a politically engaged participant in whatever he’s photographing. (He’s also made movies in the same vein.) He befriended many prisoners in Texas, and his photographs—documenting segregation in the state’s jails—were used in a federal lawsuit that helped dismantle

B

the system of keeping black prisoners and white prisoners apart, Etherton says.

Often described as a new kind of journalist— or a new photographer—he has made a career of giving voice to the voiceless, of picturing people whose lives were never going to make it into Life magazine. At the time, his personal engagement with his subjects was revolutionary.

The Outlaws photos have shock value, to be sure. They’re filled with tough guys in leather jackets and chains, their very looks a challenge to a button-down America still tethered to the 1950s. (The book, which quickly became a cult classic, is believed to have inspired the 1969 movie Easy Rider.) What they do is devilish and dangerous, as the solemn photos of “Renegade’s funeral, Detroit,” make clear.

But The Bikeriders pics are also beautifully rendered character studies, heartbreaking photos of young working-class men and women whose lives are cramped and constrained when they aren’t revving the engines and riding the road.

“Brucie, his CH, and Charlie, McHenry, Illinois” pictures a young man with the cool anomie of James Dean, crouched in front of his big bike. He looks straight at the camera— moody, defiant, uncertain—and his presence, his selfhood, is recorded for all time.

“Sparky and Cowboy (Gary Rogues), Schererville, Indiana,” are in their leather jackets and their insignia, but they pose in front of innocuous wooden siding. Stripped of their cycles, they’re shy, almost self-effacing, a couple of young guys without much traction in a world that scorns them. Sparky even turns his head sideways, averting a direct gaze.

With the setting being the Midwest, the photos also picture at least one white picket fence and a couple of neighborly porches, where the Outlaws gather to socialize. The most-tender pictures show the bikers with their families.

Cowboy, from “Sparky and Cowboy,” reappears as a dad in “Cowboy at a Rogue’s Picnic, South Chicago.” He stands in a park, right by the picnic tables, with a gaggle of kids in the grass at his feet. A slight, contented smile plays on his lips.

The women are intriguing. They seem to be mostly along for the ride, babes on the back of a bike, but Lyon also captures their longing.

“Prairieville, Louisiana” is a striking full-length portrait of a young woman in a cheap, ill-fitting dress. She stands in an empty field, mostly alone. Her teased-up hair is stiff and sky-high, but her face is vulnerable, wistful.

“Memorial Day run, Milwaukee” is a stunner that inexplicably did not appear among the 49 photos in the original book. (Etherton added it for this show.) Picturing the biker from the

“Prairieville, Louisiana” (cropped), gelatin silver print, by Danny Lyon. back, it gives its full attention to his female rider. All flying blond hair and white-rimmed sunglasses, she turns and looks back, frowning, as she sails away.

Some of the most-glorious photos picture the urban Outlaws basking in the open air of the countryside. In “Outlaw Camp, Elkhorn, Wisconsin,” the riders are clustered at a distance in a meadow, dark figures along a high horizon line. The wide field spools down from there, an infinity of grasses and dandelions.

And, of course, the shots of the riders riding the open road are joyful paeans to movement and escape. In “Crossing the Ohio, Louisville,” “From Dayton to Columbus, Ohio” and “Route 12, Wisconsin,” the motorcyclists sail over the blacktop. They chase the American dream, lighting out for the territories.

For a 1980s glimpse of motorcyclists, Tucson-style, see photographer Ann SimmonsMyers’ Bikers at the Temple Gallery. These bikers love their bikes as much as their Chicago brethren do. “Terry With His Sportster” is a triptych with three views of Terry caressing his bike under a palm tree in a quintessentially Tucson yard.

Tattooed and tattered and battered though they are, the Tucsonans seem even more domesticated than the Chicagoans. Simmons-Myers records a biker wedding in a park (“Wedding Guests”), and two tough-looking male bikers caring for a newborn in the triptych “The

The Idea of the Savage

Antigone Books’ best-sellers for the week ending Sept. 28, 2012

BY PAUL WINE, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com

1. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Sherman Alexie, Little, Brown ($14.99)

n the Odyssey, part two of Homer’s epic saga about the Trojan War and its aftermath, Odysseus, the conquering warrior-hero, experiences more than a few delays as he tries to get back home following the war.

In addition to a 10-year sojourn with Calypso, an island-dwelling nymphomaniac, Odysseus is sidetracked by the Lestrygonians, a band of giant, stone-slinging louts; Scylla and Charybdis, two overly cranky sea monsters; and, perhaps worst of all, a drunken, one-eyed cannibal, Polyphemus the Cyclops. Odysseus, of course, escapes them all, eventually making it back to the relatively safe haven of Greece.

The lliad and the Odyssey—together, the “bible” of ancient Greece—are generally thought of as the literary foundation of Western civilization. However, according to UA law professor Robert A. Williams Jr., they are also a major source of Western ethnocentrism, having generated an archetypal concept of primitive humanity that has been used ever since to define non-Western populations. In his scholarly book Savage Anxieties: The Invention of Western Civilization, Williams, an indigenous-peoples’-rights lawyer, traces the arc and influence of this idea from the beginnings of Greek society to the present day.

The extreme creatures encountered by Odysseus were, undoubtedly, projections of Greek fears and anxieties about the unknown. However, Williams writes, over time, the Greeks began believing that these mythological characters were reflective of the largely unexplored world beyond their borders.

Diametrically opposed to all that was considered “grand and glorious” about Greek civilization, this vision of a world swarming with strange and barbaric beings played a major role, Williams says, in shaping the identity of Greece, legitimatizing its expansionist designs and validating the Greeks’ sense of cultural pre-eminence. It’s a view, Williams contends, that has deeply impacted Western civilization’s perceptions of itself and the world, having passed down through successive stages of European culture as a set of remarkably durable stereotypes.

“From this point forward,” Williams says, “Homer’s defining categories of lawlessness, remoteness, habitual intemperance, primitive bestiality and sexual licentiousness will become foundational elements of the idea of the savage, applied to non-Westernized peoples by Western civilization for the next 3,000 years.”

I

Savage Anxieties: The Invention of Western Civilization

By Robert A. Williams Jr. Palgrave Macmillan 272 pages, $28

The paradox-loving Greeks, however, were seldom satisfied with one-dimensional propositions. Williams tells us that a countervailing view of the savage emerged from the pen of Hesiod, a contemporary of Homer. In Works and Days, Hesiod, one of the West’s first poets of protest, laments what he saw as the inexorable decline of Greek culture, and rhapsodizes about a golden, pre-civilized era in which natural man, untouched by the corruption and constraints of society, lived simply and virtuously in a Greek version of the Garden of Eden, free of war and “the desire for civilized refinements and luxuries.”

Like its darker counterpart, this idyllic and equally mythological image of primitive mankind has been a recurring theme throughout the history of Western thought, primarily as a mode of social criticism. Williams devotes the better part of his book to the debate engendered by these two competing ideas among some of the West’s most-noted thinkers.

In what amounts to a symposium on the Western intellectual tradition, Williams discusses a broad range of topics, including the elitist pronouncements of Aristotle (who believed that most of the world’s people were too stupid to be anything but slaves); Lucretius’ view that civilization’s preoccupation with wealth and power is the major cause of human misery; the biblical “Wild Man,” a concept central to medieval Christianity, which makes Homer’s Cyclops seem like a Rotary Club member; Rousseau’s Noble Savage; and the philosophical underpinnings of American manifest destiny.

Obviously, this book is not light reading. It will appeal primarily to those interested in philosophy. But for a book dealing with such abstruse material, it’s surprisingly accessible.

Witty and passionate, it encourages readers to explore a number of important issues, including questions regarding the ideal society and the true nature of man.

Citing the long history of shabby treatment experienced by tribal populations at the hands of Western powers, Williams writes that ancient, derogatory conceptions of native peoples have become “nearly ineradicable features of the way we see the world.” He urges us to examine our own underlying assumptions, and to expunge dubious and outmoded ways of thinking.

BY BOB GRIMM, bgrimm@tucsonweekly.com he makers of Looper took a big risk by casting Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young Bruce Willis. (Heck, you take a big risk when you cast the suddenly inconsistent Bruce Willis in anything nowadays.)

Those risks paid off in mega-jackpot fashion in writer-director Rian Johnson’s brilliant and taut Looper, one of the best time-travel epics ever to hit the screen.

Levitt plays Joe, a loner living in 2042 who has actually been sent back from the year 2072 to kill people on behalf of organized crime. He stands in a field with his gun aimed at a tarp, waiting for his hooded victim to zap back from the future and receive a very rude greeting.

There’s a big twist to having this job, nicknamed “Looper” by those who occupy it: Eventually, the “loop” will be closed. That person you will be dispatching one day will be you, and a big chunk of gold will be strapped to your dead back to make the 30 years leading up to your “loop” being closed a little more pleasurable.

Still, that’s a pretty shitty job when you get down to it, and for Joe, that job becomes shittier when his future self (Willis) gets sent back—and Joe is not ready to get shot by himself while on bended knees.

Johnson doesn’t go the Back to the Future route when it comes to people meeting their future selves in the present. The universe doesn’t unravel—but Joe’s present life most certainly does. Future Joe has an agenda, and Present Joe knows that Future Joe is the sort of tenacious bastard who will do anything to achieve that agenda, because, well, they’re the same person. It makes for an interesting rivalry.

There’s a scene in which the two face off in a diner, and it’s one of 2012’s greatest film moments. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

It’s that good.

I love the look of the world 30 years from now as depicted in this movie: It’s the most-viable future world as I’ve ever seen in a sciencefiction film. The cars look like modified versions of what we are already driving. The motorcycles are a little more high-tech. And the cities are at once spiraling, sprawling and dilapidated. I bought the world Johnson depicts here.

I also bought Gordon-Levitt as a younger version of Willis, and Willis as a future version of Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt is wearing makeup to slightly alter his appearance, but it’s his smirking demeanor that screams “Bruce Willis.” He doesn’t overdo it with the smirk, nor does he overdo it with the growly Willis vocal inflections. He injects just enough Willis mannerisms to make the portrayal seem natural.

Emily Blunt in Looper.

Willis, who is having a mixed year with direct-to-video crap and masterpieces like this and Moonrise Kingdom, looks like he is totally invested in this picture. He’s looked like he was sleepwalking through films in recent years (Cop Out could be his very worst performance), but he is old-school, awesome Willis this time out.

Man, the screenplay requires him to execute some rather foul acts.

The great work doesn’t stop with Willis and Gordon-Levitt. Jeff Daniels also delivers some of his best work in years as Abe, a crime boss sent back from the future to make sure things don’t get out of hand. The great thing about Daniels is that he plays the crime boss in the way we generally know Daniels—as a mild-mannered, warm, gentlemanly sort. It makes the moments when Abe goes off genuinely frightening.

Emily Blunt gets a good role, for a change, as Sara, a farm-dwelling mother looking to protect her moody son (the amazing child-actor Pierce Gagnon) and herself from vagrants. She has more than vagrancy to contend with when the Joes come calling. Gagnon has an arsenal of facial expressions that would make a young Haley Joel Osment cry with envy.

Noah Segan is a messed-up delight as Kid Blue, Abe’s hapless henchman. Segan was in Johnson’s other two feature-film efforts (the brilliant, Gordon-Levitt-starring Brick, and the not-so-great The Brothers Bloom). After this movie, I’m thinking he is going to be nailing

10. The Woman in the Fifth New Video

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt Directed by Rian Johnson FilmDistrict, 118 minutes Now playing at AMC Loews Foothills 15 (888262-4386), Century El Con 20 (800-326-3264, ext. 902), Century Park Place 20 (800-326-3264, ext. 903), Century Theatres at the Oro Valley Marketplace (800-326-3264, ext. 899), Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18 (806-4275) and Tower Theaters at Arizona Pavilions (579-0500).

down some other high-profile roles. Paul Dano is his usual great self as Seth, Joe’s fellow Looper and best friend.

This film marks a nice return to form for Johnson after the slight misstep that was the convoluted Bloom. As he showed in Brick, he isn’t afraid to take big chances and risks. Looper is a high-wire act without a net that safely makes it from one end of the wire to the other.

Sure, this review and the ad campaign for Looper give some plot points away. Don’t worry, though, because Johnson has made a movie during which it is virtually impossible to guess what’s going to happen next. You’ll walk in with a general idea of the goings-on—but your jaw will be agape with surprise by the time it wraps.

It’s a true mind-bender, and it’s one of the year’s best films.

FILM CLIPS Reviews by Jacquie Allen, Colin Boyd and Bob Grimm.

NEWLY REVIEWED: CHICKEN WITH PLUMS

Back in 2007, Persepolis made a good case for being the first Oscar triple-nominee for Best Animated Feature, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Picture. It only made the cut in the animated category, but it’s really that strong of a film. Now directors Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud are back with a live-action sophomore slump called Chicken With Plums. Nasser Ali (Mathieu Amalric, astounding in another great 2007 film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) is devastated when his violin is smashed, and with no outlet and no love left in his life, he decides to stay in bed and wait for death. Oh, he has a family, but that’s not important to him. Chicken With Plums counts down the eight days until his death, which grows tiresome in a hurry. There is lots of heavy smoking in this movie, though, so Big Tobacco should be happy. Boyd ESCAPE FIRE

When dealing with a wildfire, emergency crews might light another fire in their vicinity so that the real thing has nothing else to burn. This film has nothing to do with fires, however: It’s a health-care wake-up call, one that cries out for education and alternative, integrative treatments instead of simply medicating the symptoms. Even with universal health care, the film argues, the only thing we really get is nationwide disease management, not a solution. The solution, then? Better diet, more exercise and a reduction in stress. Although Escape Fire doesn’t exactly break any ground with that part of its message, some of the perspectives—former insurance executives, frustrated doctors trapped in a horrible system, and soldiers paying a huge cost for their service after they return home—are truly worth hearing. Boyd HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA

This animated take on Dracula (the voice of Adam Sandler) and big spooks like Frankenstein’s monster (Kevin James) and the Werewolf (Steve Buscemi) has a fun setup and some great gags—but the mania barely slows down long enough for you to take

it in. The film is often unnecessarily spastic in telling the tale of a nervous Dracula dealing with his daughter on her 118th birthday (which is young in vampire years). A human (Andy Samberg) shows up at the titular hotel, a building Dracula created to keep dangerous humans away, and his daughter (Selena Gomez) falls for him. The story is hard to digest, but there are some great moments, including every time the vampires turn into bats (it’s cute), and a werewolf baby knowing what plane flight somebody is taking by smelling his shirt (it’s unbelievably cute). But there were too many other moments when I just wanted to look away, because the animation was far too frantic. Grimm

CONTINUING: ARBITRAGE

Nearing 60 and wanting to get out of the rat race, hedge-fund manager Robert Miller (a terrific Richard Gere) finds a potential buyer for his company. The only problem: His firm is hemorrhaging millions due to a bad investment in Russian copper mines, so he borrows heavily to cook the books and make up for the missing revenues. On the financial-drama scale, this isn’t as gripping as last year’s Margin Call, but this part of Arbitrage hangs together pretty well.

However, there’s a wildly unnecessary subplot involving vehicular manslaughter and a poor effort to cover it up that takes the focus off of what could be a really interesting story. The subplot gives Susan Sarandon and Tim Roth something to do, but it reduces Arbitrage to little more than a Law and Order episode. Boyd THE BOURNE LEGACY

When Universal decided to forge ahead with the Bourne franchise after Matt Damon, aka Jason Bourne, decided to call it quits, they were most assuredly looking for a glorious changing of the guard—something akin to when Daniel Craig took over for Pierce Brosnan as 007. Instead, what they got with The Bourne Legacy is something closer to the vibe when Roberto Benigni replaced Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther franchise. Jeremy Renner is a good actor, but he doesn’t command a movie like Damon can, no matter how good The Hurt Locker was. The plot feels like a poor, scrapedtogether excuse to keep a franchise alive longer than it should survive. Grimm COMPLIANCE

You’ll probably watch this film, based on a true story, thinking it’s an exaggeration of what really happened.

Well, it adheres pretty closely to real events that occurred at a Mount Washington, Ky., fast-food restaurant. A man claiming to be a police officer calls a restaurant manager (Ann Dowd) and tells her a female employee (Dreama Walker) is suspected of stealing from a customer. Over the course of an evening, the caller convinces the manager to strip-search the girl, and things escalate from there. I watched the movie thinking it must’ve been total bullshit. Then I found out that not only is this based on a real event; there have been many other events like it. It is a study in what a person will do if they think the law is involved, and it’s scary. Featuring great performances and solid direction from Craig Zobel, this one will stick in your craw after it’s over. Grimm DREDD 3D

This reboot, with Karl Urban putting on the helmet, is a vast improvement over the embarrassing Sylvester Stallone effort. Urban plays the title character, a generally angry man living in a post-apocalyptic world where policemen are also the judges, jurors and executioners of criminals on the spot. When he and a trainee (Olivia Thirbly) investigate a homicide, they wind up trapped in a building with a crazed drug lord (Lena Headey) trying to take them down. Director Pete Travis has made a grim, violent film. Because the drug in play here is something called SLO-MO, a substance that makes the brain feel as if it has been slowed down, much of the violence is depicted in slow motion. It’s a visual feast for the eyes, and Urban is perfect in the part. Grimm END OF WATCH

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña shine in this absorbing cop drama from writer-director David Ayer (Harsh Times). They play Los Angeles police officers who go above and beyond the call of duty—and sometimes bend the rules just a little bit. Their willingness to put their necks on the line eventually leads to trouble with a drug cartel. Gyllenhaal and Peña make a great screen duo; the movie is often very funny simply because of the way they interact.

Ayer uses the “cops videotaping themselves on the job” gimmick a little bit, but it never becomes too distracting. He also fills his movie with great action and chase sequences. The movie is a shocker in many ways, and truly makes you think about what

CINEMA Tim Burton shows he is in need of reanimation himself with ‘Frankenweenie’

Dead on Arrival

BY COLIN BOYD, cboyd@tucsonweekly.com t’s been almost 30 years since Tim Burton’s first Frankenweenie, a short film he directed while working as an animator at Disney. Around the same time he made that short (as well as the animated love song to Vincent Price, appropriately titled Vincent), Burton’s work could be seen in TRON and The Black Cauldron.

But his tenure at the House of Mouse was short-lived: Disney fired Burton after he completed Frankenweenie, the urban legend being that he made a film on the company dime that could scare children. It’s funny how much cachet a billion-dollar Alice in Wonderland can buy you these days: Here’s Burton back at Disney, and back with Frankenweenie, this time working on a much-larger budget.

Beyond the Hollywood back story, however, there’s not much that truly stands out about Burton’s latest film. It’s a little softer than the short—although it might get under kids’ skins from time to time—and not nearly as weird as it ought to be. The stop-motion is really average.

When there’s sudden movement, the effect sinks dramatically, with an almost-clumsy manipulation of the puppets. Because Burton is loyal to his original work, this is also in black and white, but not a rich black and white that evokes emotion through the effective use of shadow and light. It’s just kind of shades of gray all over the place. Compare the look of this film with the much-more-haunting (and intricate) Coraline, and the shortfalls are hard to miss.

Kid-scientist Victor Frankenstein (voiced

by Charlie Tahan) loves his dog, Sparky, more than anything. After the pooch is hit by a car, Victor experiments with electricity to bring Sparky back to life. It’s a fairly familiar story, of course; Burton named the character Frankenstein, for crying out loud. There are even more hat tips to a genre that clearly influenced a young Tim Burton—a character named Elsa van Helsing (combining the iconic Bride of Frankenstein, Elsa Lanchester, with the equally iconic vampire hunter from Dracula), for example. Will kids get any of that wordplay? Doubtful, so consider these winks to the adults, who probably won’t find them all that amusing.

Screenwriter John August, who has worked with Burton a few times, most notably on the director’s last great film, Big Fish, weaves some of Victor’s story through that most estimable rite of passage of junior high—the science fair. When square-peg Victor reanimates his dog, suddenly everyone wants in on the

action, leading to a number of science-fair projects that go absolutely haywire.

Martin Landau, who creepily inhabited the dried husk of Bela Lugosi in Burton’s Ed Wood, portrays a Lugosi-esque science teacher who encourages Victor’s boundless imagination. It’s great to hear his nuanced work here; cartoons are not known for their subtlety. Meanwhile, Martin Short and Catherine O’Hara take it the other direction, voicing multiple characters each, and usually to the hilt. Unfortunately, the work of those three artists is pretty much where the fun stops in Frankenweenie.

Burton is afraid to step on the gas here, like he’s driving in an unfamiliar part of town. This film could be stranger and more malevolent, even by Disney standards, but it’s purely ABC Family stuff.

Burton has been struggling with finding the target for a while. Big Fish was nine years ago, and the last inspired thing in Burton’s gothic comfort zone that holds up was Sleepy Hollow. Even before that, his bad movies were at least interesting. Now they’re just tame, or self-parody, or both.

Some kid scientist better come along and reanimate Tim Burton before it’s too late.

The Avengers (Blu-ray) DISNEY MOVIE A SPECIAL FEATURES BBLU-RAY GEEK FACTOR 8.75 (OUT OF 10)

This film is great, even if sitting at home and watching it on a big TV doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite have the effect of watching it on a movie screen with a bunch of people screaming and cheering. This still stands as one of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best theater experiences (and the 3-D in theaters was decent).

Watching it at home, I was able to hear some of the dialogue I missed due to cheers.

(I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to hear the Hulk say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Puny God!â&#x20AC;? when he vanquished Loki at the press screening.) I also got to see the final credits footage during which the Avengers enjoy some post-smackdown food.

(That had yet to be added when I saw the movie.)

Further viewing confirms that director Joss Whedon got things so right with his depiction of the Hulk, the true star of this movie. Mark Ruffalo was genius casting. The other filmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hulks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retain enough of the actors portraying them.

I had my doubts about this thing when I heard about the production. It sounded like an implausible cash-in, with little chance of having substance. Thankfully, Whedon pulled out all of the stops and made the thing totally crazy and surprisingly funny. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the next chapters.

SPECIAL FEATURES: Whedon provides a funny and informative commentary. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gag reel, some deleted and extended scenes, a couple of makingof featurettes, and a Soundgarden music video. (I hate Soundgarden!) A featurette dedicated to the filming of Ruffaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hulk wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been nice. I would have liked to have seen more of his motion-capture performance.

FILM CLIPS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 40

cops go through on a daily basis. There are also nice supporting performances from Anna Kendrick and America Ferrera. Grimm THE EXPENDABLES 2

Here’s a sequel that learns a lot from the mistakes of the first installment. It gathers up a bunch of old goons, gives them big guns, and tells them to shoot things—and this time, they do it with much aplomb.

It’s obvious before the opening title credit that Sylvester Stallone and friends are going to get things right and deliver the crazy-gory goods. Much of the credit must go to Simon West, who replaces Stallone in the director’s chair. West made the ridiculously enjoyable Con Air, which combined stellar action with funny, dumb dialogue to much success. Unlike the first movie, Expendables 2 gets real laughs from its boneheaded dialogue rather than groans. Grimm HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET

In development for almost nine years, House at the End of the Street makes one wonder how such a generic piece of crap could have been made at all.

Jennifer Lawrence plays Elissa, a high-schooler who moves with her mom to a home that’s next door to a place where a girl murdered her parents. She befriends the only family member left, Ryan (Max Thieriot), but, of course, he harbors a dark secret.

The first half of the film acts almost as a demo reel for a singing career for Lawrence, who apparently just finished her studies at the Kristen Stewart Acting School—she’s completely wooden and vacant. Not enough bad things can be said about this film. Allen KILLER JOE

Murders for hire almost never go off without a hitch in real life, and they’re even less-reliable in the movies. You either get stupid killers or stupid clients, or if you’re lucky (and Fargo is on cable), both. In William Friedkin’s Killer Joe, it’s the clients who don’t have it going on upstairs. Chris and Ansel (Emile Hirsch and Thomas Haden Church) hire badcop Joe (Matthew McConaughey) to kill a family member so they can claim the insurance money and pay off loan sharks. Sounds so easy, doesn’t it?

Killer Joe is by no means a friendly motion picture, but the violence is pretty cartoonish and comes late

42 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

enough in the proceedings that it’s hard to feel violated by it (despite the NC-17 rating). You should also know that this is the best Matthew McConaughey performance by a Texas mile, and his third really solid outing in a row. Boyd LAWLESS

With Lawless, I was hoping for a late-summer powerhouse that would top off a mediocre season. I figured a film with John Hillcoat at the helm and featuring Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce and Shia LaBeouf couldn’t fail. While Lawless isn’t a complete failure, it is a bit of a letdown. Hillcoat (The Road) here is telling the “true story” of the Bondurant brothers, Depression-era bootleggers who stood up to the law. That sounded appealing. However, the film makes the mistake of positioning the youngest brother, Jack (LaBeouf), as the primary character, when his older brothers, Forrest (Hardy) and Howard (Jason Clarke), are far more compelling. LaBeouf isn’t necessarily bad; it’s just that Hardy and Clarke are way better and far more interesting to watch. Guy Pearce overdoes it as the bad guy in a film that ultimately feels empty and misdirected. Grimm THE MASTER

Joaquin Phoenix plays Freddie, a troubled veteran who returns from a World War II stint with the Navy a little messed up in the head. He’s having trouble finding his place in the world, and he’s prone to major mood swings and violence. His relationships and jobs aren’t working out, and his drinking is getting him in a lot of trouble. He winds up as a stowaway on a luxury yacht, where he meets Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), leader of The Cause, a cult-like movement with more than a few similarities to Scientology. The two wind up strangely dependent on one another as they battle different demons. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), the film features great performances, but it has a vibe of “been there, done that.” It’s worth seeing for Phoenix and Hoffman, but it’s not one of Anderson’s best. Grimm PITCH PERFECT

Knowing when to hit the notes is just as important as knowing what notes to hit. Pitch Perfect is out of tune part of the time, but it’s occasionally a surprisingly funny (and altogether formulaic and stiff) musical. Apparently, Glee is a really big thing on college campuses, so much so that a cappella singing groups compete for a big national title every year.

The competition is especially fierce at Barden University, where two singing groups (the all-male Treble Makers and the all-female Barden Belles) vie for bragging rights. It’s a silly concept—essentially You Got Served with harmonies—but they got the casting right, with Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) and bawdy Aussie Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids) leading the way. Pitch Perfect recognizes this is all pretty silly, which helps, and some of the singing is actually quite good. Boyd THE POSSESSION

An Internet legend, the Dybbuk Box is an old wine chest that supposedly holds the spirit of a trapped Jewish demon. Since 2001, several people who have owned the box have been subject to strange phenomena. The piece of lore which inspired The Possession is remarkable; the film based on these odd cases is anything but. The filmmakers decided to make a by-the-numbers film about exorcising a demon from the young woman who owns the box (Natasha Calis). The always-dependable Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars as the girl’s father, and he does what he can with the material; it’s just too much of the same thing. Why filmmakers chose to turn an interesting and original story into something as banal and lifeless as this is as mysterious as the legend that inspired the film. Allen RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION

In this fifth chapter, things get so sloppy, disorganized and frantic that it is as if one of the T-virus zombies bit the movie on the leg, and got it all crazy and infected. This is the third installment directed by the much-maligned Paul W.S. Anderson, who has been involved with the franchise from the beginning in various capacities. He directed the first movie, took a couple of movies off, returned for 2010’s lousy Afterlife, and then directed this monstrosity.

He has the dubious distinction of having directed the best and worst films in the franchise. Milla Jovovich returns as Alice, zombie-killer, and her efforts are all for naught. The movie makes little to no sense, and the action is haphazard and clumsy.

This franchise got off to an OK start with the first two films, but things have deteriorated mightily since then. Grimm SAMSARA

Rarely has a film come along that looks this good.

Shot in glorious 70-millimeter, Samsara plays to its strength by presenting many things that can only be

truly appreciated on such a grand scale. By and large, it’s IMAX-quality stuff. (The IMAX science movies, that is, not the cheap up-converted Hollywood flicks.) Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson don’t have a story to tell so much as an experience to share. They traveled to 25 countries over a fiveyear span to capture remarkable visuals, and it’s certainly a captivating show. They do not editorialize regarding the subjects they shoot, nor do they reach for a larger point of connectedness—except for the one that dawns on you as you watch: We’ve got a remarkable planet, and here’s a pretty good atlas for it. Boyd TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE

Is it always necessary to have the old guy in an oldguy movie struggle to take a piss so we know he’s old? Who doesn’t know Clint Eastwood is getting up there? That’s the first scene in Trouble With the Curve, and the rest of the movie is filled with more of the same—Clint’s eyes are going; his job as a baseball scout is on the line because he’s out of touch; he doesn’t trust computers because he’s a fossil. And in each of those scenarios, as well as the ones that could actually propel a movie that pairs Eastwood and Amy Adams, this film is empty.

There’s nothing here from Eastwood that wasn’t more evident or profound in Million Dollar Baby or Gran Torino. Adams gives it a real go, but she’s just bullpen help in a game that got away from the starting pitcher. Boyd

CHOW Papa Locos—adjacent to a Rita Ranch gas station—is a delightful Mexican-food find

NOSHING AROUND

BY ADAM BOROWITZ noshing@tucsonweekly.com

Atypical Taqueria

New: Epazote Kitchen and Cocktails There’s a new restaurant at the Hilton El Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort, 10000 N. Oracle Road. Epazote Kitchen and Cocktails specializes in classed-up renditions of American fare, including Southwestern dishes made with all sorts of ingredients from around this region. There are appetizers like ceviche, nachos and American-Indian fry bread; salads; and entrées ranging from bison burgers to pan-seared mountain trout. The items are rather affordable considering the surroundings you get to enjoy while dining. I also have to applaud restaurant management for listing the local-food producers with whom it works. Check out the menu at www. hiltonelconquistador.com.

BY RITA CONNELLY, rconnelly@tucsonweekly.com apa Locos Tacos and Burgers’ location—tucked behind a gas station/ minimart/barber shop—is a bit offputting, but don’t let that fool you: The food here is good, really good, and the vibe is a cut above that of your neighborhood mom-andpop hole-in-the-wall.

The restaurant has all the trappings of the typical taqueria: counter service, a menu hanging on the wall above that counter, a salsa table, Tejano music, etc. However, the food is served on Fiestaware, and the cutlery is the real thing—no Styrofoam plates or sporks here. Those touches, as small as they may seem, tell me a lot: The people at Papa Locos care. Thankfully, that care carries over into the food they serve.

The room is small, with maybe a dozen tables and booths, and more outside. The walls have a mishmash of items on them. There are two huge photos of food; one shows a bunch of vegetables, and the other depicts piles of spices that seemed more Indian than Mexican.

There are more photos, serapes, sombreros, copper pots and a couple of what-nots. As for that salsa table, it offered four varieties: a pico de gallo; a thick, dark red salsa; a lighter red salsa; and a green salsa. There was a mess of pickled slaw that was good enough to eat on its own. Limes were also available; everything looked and tasted fresh.

We ordered the red chile enchiladas with carnitas ($7.69); a Gordo’s chimichanga with carne asada, enchilada-style ($7 plus $1.50 for enchilada style); the chicken enchilocos with guacamole on the side (two for $4.65); a Loco double burger with cheese and onion rings ($8.79); and two Loco tacos with a hamburger patty inside ($1.89 each). With most of the entrées, a choice of meats includes ground beef, chicken or pork. With the chimichanga, enchiladas and enchiritos, customers have a choice of either green or red sauce, or half and half. We opted for the half and half.

The staff truly seemed to be into their product. They were friendly and upbeat; they joked around with customers.

The carnitas in the enchiladas were superb with thick, juicy chunks of pork in a red sauce. The carnitas were topped with a rich, flavorful enchilada sauce and squiggles of crema. This dish came with refried beans that were both creamy and thick without being dry. There was also some decent Spanish rice.

The chimi was appropriately huge and crispy, and both sauces were just spicy enough. The meat resembled ground beef and not the charred carne asada we often eat

BROOKE LEIGH TAFFET

The Great Tucson Beer Festival

A chimichanga from Papa Locos Tacos and Burgers. around here, but it was flavorful nonetheless.

Beans and rice were also stuffed into the chimi, but there weren’t too much of either.

We had to try the enchilocos. First, corn tortillas are filled with a choice of meat. The ends are pinched; then they’re deep-fried (they resemble little calzones) and topped with enchilada sauce and a big squiggle of crema. There was plenty of shredded white-meat chicken inside, and some pieces had browned edges. I’m assuming that means the chicken is roasted, not boiled—a big plus. They were unique and tasty.

We also liked the Loco tacos. The thin burger patty was seasoned perfectly, and the shell was crisp. By nature, these types of tacos are greasy, but that is part of what makes this style of taco so good—and Papa Locos didn’t disappoint. The guac on the side was definitely fresh: Chunky, with pieces of tomato and some unmashed avocado, the guac was refreshing and cool. I certainly could’ve eaten more.

There are several burgers on the menu. The Loco comes with lettuce, onions, pickles, mayo, mustard and tomato, all of which came together in a nice, gooey way. The onion rings had an egg batter. They were hot and crisp, and the onion flavor rang true.

Papa Locos Tacos and Burgers 8201 S. Rita Ranch Road 663-3333; www.papalocos.com Open Monday through Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Pluses: Warm, friendly staff; quirky menu items Minuses: A little tough to find; prices on menu, website and receipt all differed

Papa Locos also offers a few breakfast burros ($6.29 to $7.99) which we didn’t get to try.

One of the best parts of doing this job is discovering really good restaurants—and Papa Locos is a really good restaurant. This isn’t pure Sonoran cooking (there’s a healthy dose of youthful American thrown in), but it is certainly authentic, whatever its inspiration.

Everything we tried had been prepared with care and good ingredients. The service was topnotch. And on both visits, there was a steady stream of customers.

The only thing that was disappointing? Papa Locos Tacos and Burgers is so damn far from my home.

Nearly 100 breweries and alcohol-distribution companies will be breaking out their best at the 26th annual Great Tucson Beer Festival on Saturday, Oct. 6. This event seems to get bigger and better every year, and all of the proceeds benefit Sun Sounds of Arizona, an organization that provides services for the visually impaired. Ticket prices range from $30 to $80 and include snacks and samples from numerous local eateries ranging from eegee’s to Zona 78. The event takes place from 6 to 10 p.m. at Hi Corbett Field at Reid Park. Visit azbeer.com for tickets or more information.

Two Restaurants, a Bar Opening Downtown The development of Tucson’s downtown continues, with three new places opening in the area. The spot at 300 E. Congress St., which has been home to several science exhibits in recent years, will be converted into a restaurant called Proper, according to a liquorlicense application filed in recent weeks. A sign at 312 E. Congress St. says a restaurant going in there will be called Diablo Burger, and a spot at 316 E. Congress St. will be home to a place called Good Oak Bar.

More All You Can Eat The U-Like Buffet that’s been under construction for some time at 5101 N. Oracle Road is now open for business.

In other buffet news, we’ve received reports from local buffet experts that the new Hibachi Super Buffet at 4629 E. Speedway Blvd. is one of the best in town. It has 11 buffet lines that cover cuisines from Asia to Italy. The prices are also hard to beat, at $6.99 for lunch, and $9.99 for dinner.

A group of enigmatic, somewhat horny ancient ones is descending on the Rialto

Mysterious Mummies

By Stephen Seigel, musiced@tucsonweekly.com

Say Anything Here Come the Mummies

BY GENE ARMSTRONG, garmstrong@tucsonweekly.com t’s hard to dislike a band whose name doubles as an announcement of its impending arrival. It also helps that Here Come the Mummies know their way around visceral funk and R&B grooves in the classic 1970s style.

The true and ancient funk force is so strong in these Mummies, it’s almost secondary that the anonymous, bandage-garbed members of the Nashville-based band appear to have recently been unearthed from an Egyptian tomb. Vampires, pirates and zombies have been enjoying their respective pop-culture moments; lately, mummies have pretty much been unrepresented, with the exception of mediocre Brendan Fraser movies.

Here Come the Mummies will visit Tucson and play a gig on Sunday night, Oct. 7, at the Rialto Theatre.

The band and its management vehemently insist its members aren’t simply wearing mummy costumes, and that they are actual mummies, in the (preserved) flesh. However, it has long been rumored that Here Come the Mummies actually is composed of incognito Grammy Award-winning music-business professionals who are under contract with other labels and groups, so they must keep their identities secret.

The band and its handlers, nevertheless, maintain a strict mythology, never lapsing from character.

When I contacted the Mummies’ management for an interview, I was told a phone conversation was not possible—“Mummies don’t talk when not playing music”—but that one of the members would gladly answer questions by email.

And within 48 hours of sending off the questions, I received responses, supplied by the band member known as Java. (Some of his bandmates include Eddie Mummy, K.W. Tut, Mummy Cass, Ramses Mummy, Bucking Blanco, Midnight Mummy and The Flu.) When asked to confirm or deny that the Mummies are, in fact, moonlighting musicindustry veterans in disguise, Java faithfully stuck to the party line: “Our influence runs deep in all directions, but we never kiss and tell.”

He traced the beginnings of the band back to an era well before the invention of modern instruments.

“We began 3,500 years ago, give or take. We were a nomadic tribe of minstrels, luring ladies to lewdness by lute. By coincidence, we just happened to cause lasciviousness in the wrong lass.

She was a pharaoh’s daughter, and it was his curse that made us the mummies we are today.”

Be that as it may, the Mummies started

FALL CRAWL, Y’ALL!

recording and releasing music 10 years ago. Five albums of crucial funk and sexed-up soul have been released, the most recent being last year’s smoking-good Bed, Bath and Behind, as well as a live DVD. The Mummies just released a best-of collection, to be titled Hits and Mrs., this week.

Java said the Mummies’ favorite funk artists include Earth, Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, the Commodores, Billy Preston, the Meters and Bernard Wright. Java was reluctant to compare his band to such important predecessors; he said the Mummies simply try to keep the party going.

“We are just keeping it alive. Even when not playing funk, we are upholding its core tenant of booty moving,” he said.

Bed, Bath and Behind will remind listeners of the funk and R&B acts they might have fallen in love with while growing up, from Parliament to Con Funk Shun, but Latin, reggae and disco rhythms also infiltrate the tunes.

The Mummies even stretch out on the album-closing, nine-minute funk-rock slowjam “Stick It,” which bears no small resemblance to a classic Funkadelic workout, with dueling horns and frantic guitar-soloing in the style of that band’s Eddie Hazel.

From “Jump on My Ship” to “That’s What She Said,” from “Ripe” to “The Rub,” the Mummies’ lyrics often are focused on the sexual habits of the human species, but the music never descends into obscenity.

“Baby, let’s face it: Funk is sex music,” Java said. “It is about making you dance, shaking the goods you’ve got and expressing your inner beast. I can’t speak for other mummies, but we were mummified alive; thus, the male sex drive is alive and well with us … only multiplied over the millennia.

“Sex is fundamental, and none of us are immune. Funk taps into our sexual spirit. We like tapping.”

There’s no reason to sing dirty when you can

employ a wide range of colorful double entendres, after all. Java concurred, saying eyebrowraising wordplay is “more clever and more funny. I will say that we occasionally slip into single-entendre,” adding that “there is no real effort put into cleanliness; we simply write what makes us laugh.”

Naturally, the boys in bandages are obsessed with strong, sexy females. Good evidence can be found on catchy dance-number “Glamazon” and the soulful “Aeroplane Blonde.” It’s pretty clear they like it when the feeling is mutual, Java said.

“It is our single mission to move lady parts.

Happy, sweaty, gyrating ladies make dudes happy.” True, that.

The band, which has included as many as 12 members when recording, apparently tours constantly with a core group of eight players.

“We never really stop,” Java said. “Our nomadic nature puts us on the road all year, every year.

Besides, our stench is so extreme that the neighbors call the police if we stay home for too long.”

The Mummies’ fall 2012 American tour has been dubbed the If the Clown Shoe Fits … tour, which is weird and enigmatic. Java remained circumspect when asked to describe the conceptual relationship between mummies and clowns. “Just see the show; it will be evident.”

As far as he could remember, Here Come the Mummies haven’t played Tucson before, making this weekend’s gig their Old Pueblo debut. “So make sure you bring clean undies,” he said.

If it seems like the number of great shows and music events is increasing almost exponentially with the arrival of fall, it’s not just your imagination. This is easily the busiest music week since spring, and we’re proud to say the biggest event of them all is the Tucson Weekly’s annual Fall Club Crawl®, which takes place on Saturday, Oct. 6.

You know the drill by now: Tons of acts in tons of genres at tons of stages in the downtown/ Fourth Avenue area, all for the single price of a wristband.

There’s a full rundown of all the performers; feature articles on some of the bigger acts; a handy map; and other important stuff elsewhere in this issue, so I won’t spend lots of time on it.

But I do want to point out one unusual feature this time around.

As you may have heard, in addition to the dozens of local acts, there are a number of national acts performing, including The Hood Internet, Body Language, The Far West and Kid Static. But the real biggie this time around is a performance

by Denver’s DeVotchKa. If you think you’re unfamiliar with the band’s music, you’re likely mistaken. If you’ve seen the movie Little Miss Sunshine, for example, you’ve heard them, as they provided the soundtrack. If your memory’s a little rusty, well, they perform a swooningly romantic brand of gypsy-influenced pop and rock that is difficult to dislike. Plus, they’re an amazing live band.

If that weren’t enough, Tucson is something of a second home to them, as they’ve recorded at downtown’s Wavelab Studio. I know, I said I wasn’t going to go into any details, but I just couldn’t help myself. (For lots more on DeVotchKa, check out Eric Swedlund’s feature article in the special Club Crawl® section.)

Anyway, back to my original point: Because we predict the Rialto Theatre, where DeVotchKa will be performing, will fill up, we’re offering a guaranteed spot either at the front of the theater floor, or in the balcony, for $15. In other words, you can pay the usual $8 in advance, or $10 on the night of for a wristband (and I might mention here that those wristband prices have been the same for a long time), and take your chances on getting a spot for DeVotchKa, or you can pay $15 for a guaranteed spot along with a wristband that allows you to check out whatever else you’d like.

Either way, it’s a swingin’ deal.

Whichever option you choose, we’ll see you at the Crawl on Saturday night. Please be responsible, and take cabs when necessary. And most important of all, have a blast!

MASHUP MASTER Although it took longer to catch on in this country than in most of the rest of the world, there’s no denying that dance music and DJ culture is bigger than it’s ever been. And there is perhaps no

SOUNDBITES CONTINUED bigger crossover DJ around than Girl Talk.

Girl Talk is Gregg Gillis, a Pittsburgh-based DJ who is one of the foremost mashup artists in the country, if not the world. His style is somewhat based on that of Z-Trip, a Phoenixborn DJ who, starting in the late ’90s, would put beats behind recognizable classic rock songs, thereby making them danceable. But Girl Talk takes that method to extremes, weaving together hip-hop beats and familiar raps with pop and rock songs that everyone knows (and generally loves). It’s not unusual for him to mix a dozen or so songs together on one track. The effect is dizzying: Just as you’ve figured out what he’s sampling, he’s on to the next piece. It also makes for a jaw-dropping listening experience, as familiar strains of music are stitched together in ways no one ever dreamed of—except for Gillis, of course.

As for his live shows, yes, it’s a dude standing behind a computer or two. But Gillis’ manic energy, along with the crowd dancing and cheering along, converts it all into a true live-show experience.

Girl Talk performs at the Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St., on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Dev opens the all-ages show at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $30; they’ll be $32 on the day of the show. For more information, head to rialtotheatre.com, or call 740-1000.

THE MAVERICK GOES GOLDEN Ask anyone who’s ever owned or operated a nightclub, and they’ll tell you it’s a mighty risky business: Clubs of all variety open and close all the time. (Don’t take my word for it— take a look at the Congress Street goings-on right now.)

Which makes it all the more remarkable that The Maverick Live Country Club, one of Tucson’s foremost country nightclubs, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month.

The Maverick isn’t about to ignore the milestone, as they’ve got special events lined up throughout the month. One of the biggest takes place on Sunday, Oct. 7. The club’s official 50th Anniversary Bash will feature a free live performance by onetime house act Troy Olsen, who has since moved on to Nashville to pursue his songwriting and performing career.

The Maverick is located at 6622 E. Tanque Verde Road. Doors for the 50th Anniversary Bash open at 6 p.m., and admission is free.

Other special events going down at the club this month include a performance by Vince Moreno on Tuesday, Oct. 16, and Mark Wills in concert on Wednesday, Oct. 17. For more details on these and other anniversary events, head to tucsonmaverick.com, or call 298-0430.

REVERB REDUX What the hell is in the water in Baltimore?

Whatever it is, it causes bands to indulge in ethereal, spaced-out, reverb-drenched music.

Cases in point: Animal Collective, Beach House and Lower Dens, the latter of which will perform in town this week.

Nootropics, the band’s second full-length, was released earlier this year. It’s still anchored by the unique voice of Jana Hunter, but it leans a little heavier on electronics than the group’s 2010 debut, Twin Hand Movement, which relied more on guitars. Still, if you dug the debut, you’ll likely find much to love in its similarly gauzy follow-up. Recommended to those who were fans of the ’80s output of 4AD records.

NINE QUESTIONS Jim Waters Jim Waters is a worldrenowned Tucson-based producer.

Since he moved here in the early 1990s, he has become a champion of local music and a fixture of Tucson’s music scene. Although he has worked with some major players (like Sonic Youth and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), Waters tends to stay away from the big record labels, artist managers and others that tend to get between the musician and the music.

What was the first concert you attended?

I saw the Dave Clark Five when I was in thirdgrade. My older sister was going with some friends, and I begged and begged to go along.

They were my favorite band, even more than the Beatles. It was pretty thrilling.

FRIDAY FISH FRY ALL YOU CAN EAT ALL DAY Restrictions Apply

What are you listening to these days?

I tend to listen to stuff that I’m working on at the studio. So right now, I am listening to the Distortionists, Marianne Dissard, The Jons, Yardsale Heart, the Freezing Hands, etc. Oh, and also a bunch of Frank Zappa reissues.

What was the first album you owned?

The Spirit of ’67 by Paul Revere and the Raiders (my other favorite band from that time period).

What artist, genre or musical trend does everyone seem to love, but you just don’t get?

I’m still trying to sort out symphonic black metal.

BEACH HOUSE, DUSTIN WONG RIALTO THEATRE Monday, Sept. 24 On record and live, Beach House is a band that establishes its comfort zone instantly, and for better or worse, never leaves it.

The band’s softly swaying dream-pop —particularly on this year’s Bloom and 2010’s Teen Dream—is built with grandeur, depth and the airy voice of Victoria Legrand. Keyboardist Legrand and guitarist Alex Scally add a drummer on tour, but they’re clearly the sole architects of the Beach House sound—a subtly impressionistic and soothing lull that never strays too far in any direction.

“Wild” started out the show with one of Scally’s most ringingly melodic guitar lines, before giving way to a more prominent keyboard on “Walk in the Park.”

Teen Dream’s lead single, “Norway,” still perhaps the best overall distillation of everything that’s most compelling about Beach House, was a stunner live, with the nearly sold-out Rialto crowd held still and attentive.

Though the songs gain a bit of urgency live, Beach House’s music is no less dreamy while on display, no less ethereal for being so tangible. What Beach House’s stage performance reveals is how steady and non-fussed-over the songs truly are. It’s solidly tethered music that sounds like it is floating.

“Myth” and “Irene” formed the encore, capping a nearly two-hour show with the two gorgeous songs that bookend Bloom. Yet the virtues of any individual song are hard to compare to the biggest treat of a Beach House show: simply hearing Legrand’s soaring vocals fill up such a big, open room.

Opener Dustin Wong was the perfect appetizer for Beach House, with a mesmerizing style of layered guitar loops and effects. A virtuoso electric guitarist, Wong builds a dense ocean of sound; his occasional wordless vocals are put to the same use as his incredibly varied guitar sounds.

There’s something very ghostly about how he stacks loop after loop together (a dozen or more for each song); as each new live part is created, the other parts seem to evaporate, ceasing to sound like a guitar at all. Best of all, his songs build in intensity as they progress, the added layers working in service of each other.

Nobody does shimmering cool quite like the Helio Sequence.

With sparse instrumentationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;guitars, keyboards and drumsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and a sense of allenveloping reverb, the Oregon duo of Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel essentially spins gold from hay.

Four years after the exceptional Keep Your Eyes Ahead comes Negotiations, a similarly exceptional album that finds the band molding a palpable sense of late-night solitude into songs that blend dreamscapes with a sci-fi sense of mystery and wonder.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an album that examines different shades of solitude and isolationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;self-reflection, longing, regret and determinationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sometimes comforting, sometimes haunting. The gatefold album art captures that essence: a midnight view from a tree-crowded overlook, with Portland shining quietly below.

Lead-single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Octoberâ&#x20AC;? examines how the tangled lines of personal freedom trip up relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a perfect world / There would be no divide / In a perfect world / We could both open up / And see the other side,â&#x20AC;? Summers sings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downward Spiralâ&#x20AC;? follows, with its bleakly descending keyboard line mirroring the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics. With little in the way of details, Summers describes the helplessness of watching repeated mistakes destroy someone.

One of the best records of 2012, Negotiations balances its downer moments with beauty and hope, aiming for an everything-in-its-right-place perfectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and succeeding with astonishing ease.

Eric Swedlund

Cultural consensus tells us that some artists have little to no value. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the musical equivalent of junk foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all empty calories and chemical additives. Kreayshawn, in context, belongs to the same brain-dead girl gang as Ke$ha and Dev and Uffie. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the anti-BeyoncĂŠs, who sneer rather than sing, who are flippantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not romanticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about sex, who are deadpan instead of deep. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pop musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heathers: snotty, conceited party girls who prefer Tumblr to Tolstoy, Gawker to Ginsberg. (Actually, I bet Ke$haâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a copy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Howlâ&#x20AC;? shoved between the Grey Goose and Camel Lights in her oversized handbag.)

The widespread knee-jerk reaction to these ladybrats is at best scorn, at worst outright hatred. Never mind that their male equivalentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Calvin Harris, LMFAOâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;get painted as lovable trickster figures.

The point is that people are going to tell you that Somethin â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bout Kreay is a terrible record, but they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly the kind of album that it wants to be: stupid, fun and loud. From the chorus on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rulerâ&#x20AC;? to the Newcleussampling â&#x20AC;&#x153;K234ys0nixzâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twerkin!!!,â&#x20AC;? Somethin is a great party-soundtrack album.

Kreay gets fine support from celebrity producers like SpaceGhostPurrp (on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Left Ey3â&#x20AC;?) and Kid Cudi (on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like It or Love Itâ&#x20AC;?), but the real draw here is her own snide persona and the empty-headed bravado she brings.

Sometimes we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to think; we just wanna sip sizzurp with a girl whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of bad ideas.

Sean Bottai

Crisp male and female vocal harmonies dominate this young Los Angeles quintetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familiar SoCal coastal folkrock sound. The songwriting and arrangements on this debut album are somewhat derivative, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mitigated in large part because those influences are so ably integrated into the well-crafted songs. The gorgeous voices and the balance of pop, folk and rock sensibilities will cause some listeners to flash back to Fleetwood Mac. The album opens with two tracks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Matterâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t You Give Up on Meâ&#x20AC;? (with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orpheusâ&#x20AC;? sandwiched between them), that together establish a very Macesque toneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;luxurious singing, careful guitar pizzicatos, moderately anxious rhythms, sharply defined melodiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or at least one that brings to mind the similar vibe of the Rescues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perfectly Alignedâ&#x20AC;? is a little more dreamy and, quite frankly, a bit like the music of Beach House, the perfect soundtrack for relaxing in a bayside room, breeze billowing in the curtains. Fleet Foxes fans will find lots to appreciate about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cutty Loveâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autumn Tree.â&#x20AC;?

Occasionally, Milo Greene sounds unique, especially during the melancholic ache of â&#x20AC;&#x153;1957â&#x20AC;? or on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silent Way,â&#x20AC;? on which a gently plucked banjo and a subtle string arrangement cradle the crystalline harmonies. This is a perfectly good album, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also interested in seeing how Milo Greene develops.

MEDICAL MJ In November, voters in three states will decide on the legalization of marijuana for everyone

Pot at the Polls

BY J.M. SMITH, jsmith@tucsonweekly.com n a perfect world, you would be able to walk into a store and openly buy your medical cannabis at will, slapping down cash in exchange for goods and services the way God, our Founding Fathers and the voters intended.

But we live in Arizona, which by and large is pretty awesome, but sometimes sucks a little compared to other states, especially when our governor and attorney general get in the way of those voters I mentioned earlier. Well, it seems like we might soon have a perfect medical-marijuana world just a few states away, maybe even just a few hundred miles away.

Voters in Washington, Oregon and Colorado will decide on Nov. 6 whether to make pot legal under their respective state laws—and not just for medical use, but for everyone.

Washington’s Initiative Measure No. 502 (sos.wa.gov/_assets/elections/initiatives/i502. pdf) would allow people to buy up to an ounce of buds, a pound of “marijuana infused product in solid form” (butter?) or 72 ounces in liquid. You would also be allowed to grow your own. Licenses to produce or sell cannabis in retail stores would cost $1,250, and the grow operations and retail outlets would have to be 1,000 feet from schools, playgrounds, recreation centers, child-care centers, public parks, transit centers and libraries. (Good luck finding that piece of property.) The law also would include a 25 percent tax on wholesale and retail transactions. Yikes.

The measure is not a done deal, however.

As an initiative to the Legislature, the bill will go to state lawmakers if it passes in November. If lawmakers reject or refuse to act on it, the question then goes back to voters for a final vote. In any event, the state liquor board would have to make rules, which could get pretty cumbersome and restrictive, as rules tend to be. But all in all, this bill is a step in the right direction. Go, Washington.

In Oregon, they’re calling legalization the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (oregonvotes.org/ irr/2012/009text.pdf), which has nice financial undertones. The act would allow people to grow their own or buy it from state-owned stores that buy from approved growers. The bill would create the Oregon Cannabis Commission, which would approve growers and set prices. WTF? The government owning stores and setting prices? I am all for regulation, but I say “no thanks” to the government owning the store. It seems to me the government is the last owner we would want.

I

The commission would also determine possession limits, so the devil in the details remains unseen. Mr. Smith offers a half-baked approval to Oregon’s initiative.

Colorado’s Amendment 64 to the state Constitution (Google it; the link is too long to put here) would allow possession of up to an ounce, which people could share with but not sell to friends. People could also have up to six plants, three of them mature, but would have to keep the marijuana harvested from plants on the premises where it is grown—seemingly making it illegal to take meds out of the house.

It would also allow an excise tax, which would be set by the Legislature. The Colorado law seems somewhere between Oregon and Washington—some details are there (possession limits), but some aren’t (taxes).

Ultimately, these proposed laws represent the future. Americans are tired of wasteful spending to enforce archaic laws that even a lot

of law-enforcement officers think are ridiculous. We’re slipping down the legalization slope now, and eventually, similar initiatives will pass.

When they do, there will be even more pressure

on the federal government to abandon cannabis prohibition.

That wouldn’t necessarily give us a perfect world, but wouldn’t it be nice?

By Rob Brezsny. Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY HOROSCOPE 1-877-873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700 $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone required.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “In a full heart, there is room for everything,” said poet Antonio Porchia, “and in an empty heart, there is room for nothing.” That’s an important idea for you to meditate on right now, Aries. The universe is conspiring for you to be visited by a tide of revelations about intimacy. And yet you won’t be available to get the full benefit of that tide unless your heart is as full as possible.

Wouldn’t you love to be taught more about love and togetherness and collaboration?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As I turn inward and call forth psychic impressions of what’s ahead for you, I’m seeing mythic symbols like whoopie cushions, rubber chickens and pools of fake plastic vomit. I’m seeing popcorn shells that are stuck in your teeth and a dog that’s eating your homework and an alarm clock that doesn’t go off when it’s supposed to. But as I push further into the not-too-distant future, exploring the deeper archetypal levels, I’m also tuning in to a vision of fireflies in an underground cavern. They’re lighting your way and leading you to a stash of treasure in a dusty corner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

That’s the opening sentence of Charles Dickens’ best-selling novel A Tale of Two Cities. The author was describing the period of the French Revolution in the late 18th century, but he could just as well have been talking about our time—or any other time, for that matter. Of course, many modern cynics reject the idea that our era is the best of times. They obsess on the idea that ours is the worst of all the worst times that have ever been. When your worried mind is in control of you, you may even think that thought yourself, Gemini. But in accordance with the current astrological omens, I challenge you to be a fiery rebel: Come up with at least five reasons why this is the best of times for you personally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life,” said Pablo Picasso. That’s certainly true for me. I can purify my system either by creating art myself or being in the presence of great art. How about you, Cancerian? What kinds of experiences cleanse you of the congested emotions that naturally build up in all of us? What influences can you draw on to purge the

repetitive thoughts that sometimes torment you? How do you go about making your imagination as fresh and free as a warm breeze on a sunny day? I urge you to make a study of all the things that work for you, and then use them to the max in the coming week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Our culture peculiarly honors the act of blaming, which it takes as the sign of virtue and intellect.”

So said literary critic Lionel Trilling. Now I’m passing his idea on to you, Leo, just in time for the No-Blaming Season. Would you like to conjure up a surge of good karma for yourself? Then for the next 10 days or so, refrain from the urge to find fault. And do your best to politely neutralize that reflex in other people who are sharing your space, even if they love to hate the same political party or idiot fringe that you do. P.S.: For extra credit, engage in speech and activity that are antidotes to the blaming epidemic. (Hint: praise, exaltation, thanks.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of the reasons platinum is regarded as a precious metal is that it is so infrequently found in the Earth’s crust. A second reason is that there are difficulties in extracting it from the other metals it’s embedded in.

You typically need 10 tons of ore to obtain one ounce of platinum. That’s a good metaphor for the work you have ahead of you, Virgo. The valuable resource you’re dreaming of is definitely worth your hard work, persistence and attention to detail.

But to procure it, you’ll probably need the equivalent of several tons of those fine qualities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): While doing research in South America four decades ago, anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss found an indigenous tribe whose people claimed they could see the planet Venus in the daytime. This seemed impossible to him. But he later consulted astronomers who told him that, in fact, Venus does emit enough light to be visible by day to a highly trained human eye. My prediction for you, Libra, is that in the coming months, you will make a metaphorically equivalent leap: You will become aware of and develop a relationship with some major presence that has been virtually undetectable. And I bet the first glimpse will come this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Whether or not anyone has ever called you an “old soul” before, that term will suit you well in the coming months. A whole lot of wisdom will be ripening in you all at once. Past events that never quite made sense before will more clearly reveal the role they have played in your life’s master plan. Relatively unimportant desires you’ve harbored for a long time will fade away, while others that have been in the background—and more crucial to your ultimate happiness—will rise to prominence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In most of my horoscopes, I tell you what you can do to make yourself feel good. I advise you on how you can act with the highest integrity and get in touch with what you need to learn about. Now and then, though, I like to focus on how you can help other people feel good. I direct your attention to how you can inspire them to align with their highest integrity and get in touch with what they need to learn about. This is one of those times, Sagittarius. I’m hoping you have your own ideas about how to perform these services. Here are a few of my suggestions: Listen with compassion-

ate receptivity to the people you care for.

Describe to them what they’re like when they are at their best. Give them gifts they can use to activate their dormant potential.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you’ve ever watched tennis matches, you know that some players grunt when they smack the ball. Does that help them summon greater power? Maybe. But the moreimportant issue is that it can mask the sound of the ball striking the racket, thereby making it harder for their opponents to guess the force and spin of the ball that will be headed toward them. The coming week would be an excellent time for you to hunt down a competitive advantage that’s comparable to this in your own field of endeavor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many people seem to believe that all of America’s Christians are and have always been fundamentalists. But the truth is that, at most, 35 percent of the total are fundies, and their movement has only gotten cultural traction in the last 30 years.

So then why do their bizarre interpreta-

tions of the nature of reality get so much play? One reason is that they shout so loud and act so mean. Your upcoming assignment, Aquarius, is to do what you can to shift the focus from small-minded bullies to big-hearted visionaries, whether that applies to the Christians in your sphere or any other influences. It’s time to shrink any tendency you might have to get involved with energy vampires. Instead, give your full attention and lend your vigorous clout to life-affirming intelligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): WARNING: The following horoscope contains more than the usual dose of poetry. Mirthful agitation! Surprising deliverance! I predict you will expose the effects of the smoke and mirrors, then find your way out of the labyrinth. Lucid irrationality! Deathless visions! I predict you will discover a secret you’d been hiding from yourself, then escape a dilemma you no longer need to struggle with. Mysterious blessings arriving from the frontiers! Refreshed fertility roused by a reborn dream! I predict you will begin to prepare a new power spot for your future use.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!

BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO, themexican@askamexican.nett Dear Mexican: Why do so many Chicanos claim to be Aztec?

Chicano Stuck in Leavenworth Dear Gabacho: You’re right. The beaner love for everything Aztec mostly stems from the Chicano Movement, which appropriated various Mexica iconography (the stylized United Farm Workers black eagle, the concept of Aztlán, the airbrushed paintings of warriors and scantily clad heinas on car trunks and blankets) to make a long-vanquished culture their own during an era when they were searching for an ethnic heritage. They, in turn, got the idea from indigenismo, the Mexican intellectual movement from the 1920s that took pride in Mexico’s Indian past. And the indigenistas, in turn, went with the Aztecs, because they’re the Lost Cause of Mexico.

There is more known about the Aztec empire than other Mexican indigenous groups, because the Conquest—the foundation myth of Mexico—involved battles between the Aztecs and Spaniards that featured copious documentation, both in the codices that survived and the Spanish chronicles. The ultimate symbol of Mexico—the golden eagle perched on a cactus, with a snake in its beak— references the Aztec legend of the foundation of Tenochtitlan. And Nahuatl words are muchos in Mexican Spanish—for the gabachos at home, any word that ends with the suffix –te (chocolate, tomate, cacahuate, aguacate) came from the Nahuatl suffix –tl.

But the Mexican must admit that he cringes at Aztec worship. For one, all that obsession comes at the expense of other tribes, tribes that the Aztecs probably would’ve killed or subjugated if they were still around—they were the Romans of Mexico, and I don’t mean that as a compliment. In addition, that romanticizing has problematic roots: Indigenismo was part of bigger project of justifying modernity at the expense of the past. “Indigenismo was … a means to an end rather than an enduring mission,” wrote David A. Brading in his 1998 paper “Manuel Gamio and Official Indigenismo in Mexico.” “If incorporation was its aim, then essentially, it sought to destroy rather than fortify the peasant culture of native

communities. Modernizing nationalism of the brand advocated by (Mexican intellectuals) found consolation in past glories, but its inner vision was based in the liberal resolve to transform a backward country into a modern nation able to defend itself from foreign hegemony.”

But, hey: If you want to change your name from Jose Gonzalez to Nezahualcoyotl Moctezuma, and go to sweat lodges on weekends, even though you’re lighter-skinned than a Southern belle, be my guest! I’m sure your ancestors who fought the Aztecs—both indigenous and Hispanic—would’ve approved!

Why do Mexicans in Mexico refer to each other by certain traits when they are from different towns?

For example, I heard people from Monterrey are codos (stingy)? And I heard people from Guadalajara are usually blond. What about Mexicans from Durango, Michoacán and Sonora?

El Pochito Dear Wab: It’s not a Mexican trait—look at how Americans stereotype Midwesterners, Southerners, New Yorkers and even people from pinche Maine. But I’ll answer your pregunta, because this is a teaching column for gabas, so let me bust out a bunch of otros Mexican regional stereotypes: People from Durango have a cowboy mentality; michoacanos are trashy; and those from Sonora are rugged individualists.

Sinaloans are nuts; folks from Jalisco are stuck up; and gente de Veracruz are talkative. Los de Oaxaca are stubborn; Chihuahua residents are tall and light-skinned; and people from Guerrero are born outlaws. Finally, people from the mighty state of Zacatecas are the greatest people on God’s green Earth.

BY DAN SAVAGE, mail@savagelove.net

Last week, I appeared at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Savage Love Liveâ&#x20AC;? event at Radford University in Radford, Va. Questions are submitted on index cards at SLL events, which allows questioners to remain anonymous and forces them to be succinct.

The crowd at Radford was large and inquisitive.

The students submitted more questions than I could possibly hope to answer in two hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Radford students also managed to stump me.

Twice. I promised the crowd that I would get answers for the two stumpers and answer as many of their other questions as I could in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. And here we goâ&#x20AC;Ś

When I sneeze, I ejaculate. Is this normal?

Yes, totally. Nothing to worry about. This happens to all guys. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they make menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underwear out of cotton, dude.

Why do all the beautiful girls only go for guys who are assholes?

I really like this guy, and I know he likes me, but he is so unapproachable! He always seems to be pissed off about something. How can I get his attention without practically throwing myself at him?

Someone who knows youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in him and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genuinely interested in you, but who affects an unapproachable, pissed-off demeanor, is a gameplaying douchebag, and game-playing douchebags are lousy boyfriend material. Surely there are some attractive guys on your campusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;guys you like, guys who like youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grumpy, game-playing assholes. You know, nice guys. Maybe you could date one of them?

Is it normal for girls to orgasm from dry-humping alone?

Many girls learn to masturbate by grinding their crotches/clits against somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a pillow, typicallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and dry-humping is a pretty effective way to re-create that particular sensation, i.e., it provides her with the intense, direct clitoral stimulation she needs to get off.

Can you get AIDS or an STI from a dead body? Just wondering.

This is one of the two questions that stumped me. I promised to get an answer, and here it is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a thinly veiled necrophilia question, the answer is no,â&#x20AC;? says Caitlin Doughty, a mortician, founder of the Order of the Good Death, and the star of the popular, hilarious and informative â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask a Morticianâ&#x20AC;? YouTube video series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the AIDS epidemic first hit in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, there were terrible stories about funeral homes that would charge more for bodies with HIV/AIDS or flat-out tell the family the body was a threat and needed to be cremated immediately. Thankfully, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now considered wildly unethical and incorrect. Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an embalmer or coroner and dealing closely with all manner of fresh corpse fluids, there should be almost zero risk to you.â&#x20AC;?

Is it OK to want to be single for 15 more years?

More and more people are delaying marriage or remaining singleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you might want to read Hanna Rosinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The End of Men and Eric Klinenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Aloneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally OK to make your own choices and live your own life.

Should I not have sex with my best friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s babydaddy, even though he was my boyfriend before he was hers, and we were about to get back together before I found out my best friend was pregnant?

Yes, you should not.

Recognize that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the problem. The non-openly-gay people at your schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you and the other closeted gaysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;create a negative nonexistence feedback loop. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out because no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out, and no one comes out because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not out. My advice: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a position to come out, come out. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in a position to come out, make plans to get to a place where you can come out. And in the meantime, refrain from whining about a problem that your choices and/or limitations contribute to creating.

Can you come out your butt?

Um, sure, but only if someone else came in it firstâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and no one should be coming in your butt without a condom on his dick.

How do you tell someone that they are bad at sex?

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You tell someone that there are particular ways you like to be touched/kissed/fucked/ bound/whatever, and you encourage someone to touch/kiss/fuck/whip/bind you in those particular ways. Hopefully, this will lead to someone getting better at sex over a few months. If someone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better at sex in that time frame, well, then someone either is incapable of getting better at sex, or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unhappy with the sex, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dump someone.

Can you get a yeast infection from licking a yeast infection?

Another stumper, another guest expert: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wet folds are a great place for yeast to grow,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Anna Kaminski, associate medical director for Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially if other things are a little out of balance. For example, a woman might be more prone to yeast infections due to other things in the vaginaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;spermicide, blood, antibiotic-induced changes in vaginal pH balance, or hormonal changes. But mouths are really good at keeping yeast in check. So it would be unusual for a person to get a yeast infection orallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;unless you suffer from something that predisposes you to oral yeast infections, e.g., you are on antibiotics; you are immunocompromised; you have bad oral hygiene.â&#x20AC;?

If a guy asks a girl if she wants to have anal sex, is he curious about gay sex?

No. Why do straight guys like doggie-style so much?

Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gay.

What does it mean when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a girl, and the guy youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hooking up with keeps introducing you to his best girl friends?

It means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hooking up with a gay.

Why do guys think threesomes are so amazing?

Because they areâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially the gay ones.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a guy who does not find guys physically attractive. Even so, I like to give and receive blowjobs with men. Does this mean anything about my sexual orientation?

Yes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always considered myself a lesbian, but a few weeks ago, I got really drunk and slept with one of my male best friends. Am I not a lesbian?

Female sexuality is a lot more fluid, as they say, and many lesbian-identified women have slept with men. Your sexuality identityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the label you choose to apply to yourselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;should communicate the essential truth about your sexual interests and partner preferences. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free to identify as a lesbian, even if you slip and fall on the occasional dick.

Who is your dream guy?

Janice from the Muppets with a dick.

Why can some girls only orgasm on top?

Because the angle of penetration provides them with the direct, intense clitoral stimulation they need to get off.

OK, Radford, that was fun, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of room.

Thanks for the invite and the great event!

Do you have any advice for non-openly-gay people at a school where gays are almost nonexistent?

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Send your Weird News to Chuck Shepherd, PO Box 18737, Tampa, Fla., 33679 weirdnews@earthlink.net or go to www.newsoftheweird.com

Roach Responders At a conference in August, researchers from North Carolina State University demonstrated their latest technological advance in aiding â&#x20AC;&#x153;first respondersâ&#x20AC;? to peacetime and wartime disasters: cockroaches. Outfitting Madagascar hissing cockroaches with electronic backpacks that include antennas, batteries, cameras and microphones, the scientists hacked the bugsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nervous systems to steer them remotely into the tiniest of openingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a crucial step toward finding survivors of earthquakes or bomb damage in densely built-up and populated areas. Said one researcher, to ABC News, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere in the middle (of tons of rubble), your kid is crying,â&#x20AC;? and huge machines are â&#x20AC;&#x153;not very efficientâ&#x20AC;? at finding him.

The Continuing Crisis â&#x20AC;˘ Cue the black helicopters: A website that tracks sometimes-obscure federal government purchases disclosed in August that the Social Security Administration had recently requested a price for 174,000 hollow-point bullets, and that the National Weather Service had requested a price for 46,000 rounds of ammo for semi-automatic pistols. (The latter was subsequently corrected; it was actually the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fisheries Service that needed bullets.) Both agencies told reporters that they have armed officers investigating potential crimes. â&#x20AC;˘ Weapons for the 21st century: Thousands of farmers in the northeastern India state of Assam are growing the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest chili peppers and selling them to the army to make weapons, reported Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Guardian in a July dispatch. One expert said a â&#x20AC;&#x153;few dropsâ&#x20AC;? of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bhut jolokiaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;could make you senseless.â&#x20AC;?

Blasting a container of it into a terrorist hideout, he said, would â&#x20AC;&#x153;make them all drop their gunsâ&#x20AC;? after â&#x20AC;&#x153;just one breath.â&#x20AC;? Bhut jolokia has also been used traditionally to repel elephant attacks. â&#x20AC;˘ In a tactical risk, Russian gay-rights leaders went to court in Moscow in March to demand the right to hold a rally not only this year, but, daring the city to oppress them, a rally every year for the next 100 years.

However, the city did not blink. It rejected the demand, and in August, a Moscow city court ruled that the city could be gay-rights-rallyfree until the year 2112. â&#x20AC;˘ Because the words were not those ordinarily used by vandals keying a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paint, Newcastle, England, police looked immediately to a better-educated vandal and arrested University of Newcastle professor Stephen Graham, who had been a prominent critic of neighborhood parking rules that allowed outsiders to use the few spaces on his street.

Scratched into several outsidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; luxury carsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exteriors were words such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;arbitraryâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;really wrongâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;very sillyâ&#x20AC;? (as opposed to the usual crude vandal references to anatomy and maternal promiscuity).

66 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

Courtroom Follies â&#x20AC;˘ Carl Funk, 58, told Broward County, Fla., Judge John Hurley (on a video feed from jail to a courtroom) that he is innocent of the 7-yearold charges (trespassing and open-alcoholiccontainer counts) and that, besides, he is now wheelchair-bound in pathetic medical condition and should be allowed to go home. The judge was skeptical, but finally, according to a South Florida Sun-Sentinel report, he offered to fine Funk only $50, and Funk agreed to plead guilty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good luck, Funk,â&#x20AC;? said Judge Hurley. At that point, Funk rose from his wheelchair and quickly walked away. Wrote the Sun-Sentinel: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raising both hands, Judge Hurley declared, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been cured.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Missouri Associate Circuit Judge Barbara Peebles was suspended in September and recommended for removal by the state judicial commission for various offenses, including being late for work and destroying a court document in order to avoid embarrassment. The most-serious charge, according to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch report, was that she allowed her â&#x20AC;&#x153;clerk,â&#x20AC;? Whitney Tyler, who was Peeblesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal friend and hairdresser (and apparently without formal legal training), to dispose of as many as 350 cases as Tyler saw fit. Said one lawyer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until the judge (showed up), (Tyler) was the judge.â&#x20AC;?

Perspective A sign at the entrance of the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor asks that visitors â&#x20AC;&#x153;conduct yourself with dignity and respect at all times. Remember, this is hallowed ground.â&#x20AC;?

However, as the New York Post reported in September, visitors to the National Sept. 11 Memorial in New York City show no such restraint, with some treating that hallowed ground more like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disney attraction.â&#x20AC;? They sit (or worse, lie down) on the bronze-plaque names of the dead, and lay (and spill!) their drink cups on them, creating an â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost cheerfulâ&#x20AC;? atmosphere, the Post said. The head of New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s association of retired emergency medical service firefighters said the elegant memorial more resembled a visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitchen table.â&#x20AC;?

The Aristocrats! â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. 1â&#x20AC;? Complaints: (1) Albert Sultan filed a lawsuit in August in New York City against his hard-charging former boss, real estate broker Jack Terzi, accusing Terzi of various workplace abuses including (to make a point in front of co-workers) deliberately urinating on an item of Sultanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing. (2) Timothy Paez, 22, was arrested in Boulder, Colo., in July based on an incident at Shooters Grill and Bar, in which, after being rejected by a woman, he later approached her and allegedly urinated on her leg. (3) Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Illawarra District Rugby Union reported in July that it was investigating an unnamed Avondale player who had allegedly urinated all over his uniform pants during play so as to discourage his Vikings opponents from trying to tackle him.
