HALLOWEEN IIHH1/2 A couple of Labor Day weekends ago, Rob Zombie’s grisly “reboot” of the Halloween franchise scored number one at the box office. Hence this sequel, in which masked killer Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) chops up some folks on the way to a reunion with his baby sister (Scout TaylorCompton). Somehow or other, Malcolm McDowell is back, and Zombie helms again. (101 min, R. Welden; ends 9/24) THE HANGOVERHHH1/2 From Old School director Todd Phillips comes this comedy in which a group of friends takes a trip to Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party and winds up losing the groom.

Sunset) THE HURT LOCKERHHHH Kathryn (Strange Days) Bigelow directs this highly acclaimed account of life inside an American bomb squad in Iraq that specializes in disarming IEDs. Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Bryan Geraghty star. (105 min, R. Stowe) THE INFORMANT!H1/2 “Unbelievable,” scream the posters for Steven Soderbergh’s comedy concerning a delusional whistleblower who fantasizes he’s a secret agent as he gathers evidence for his case against agri-industry behemoth Archer Daniels Midland. What’s really unbelievable is that it’s based on a true story. Matt Damon, Scott Bakula and Joel McHale star. (108 min, R. Capitol, Essex, Majestic, Marquis, Palace, Roxy, Stowe) INGLOURIOUS BASTERDSHH1/2 Brad Pitt stars as the leader of a band of Jewish soldiers who take revenge against the Nazis one scalp at a time in the latest from Quentin Tarantino. Also featuring Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, and Christoph Waltz. (152 min, R. Big Picture, Essex, Majestic, Palace, Roxy, Sunset) IN THE LOOPHHHH1/2 A politician’s careless on-air comment ignites an international crisis in this down-anddirty political satire from the U.K. Veteran TV writer Armando Iannucci wrote and directed. With Peter Capaldi, James Gandolfini and Tom Hollander. (106 min, NR. Palace, Savoy; ends 9/24) JENNIFER’S BODYHH Diablo Cody (Juno) went out of her way not to repeat herself in scripting this gore-athon about a babelicious high school student who becomes possessed by a meatseeking demon and gets in the habit of devouring her dates. Starring Megan Fox, Adam Brody and Amanda Seyfried. Karyn Kusama directs. (92 min, R. Essex, Majestic, Palace, Paramount, Welden) JULIE & JULIAHHH Meryl Streep and Amy Adams are paired in writer-director Nora Ephron’s fact-based comedy about foodie doyenne Julia Child and the New York office temp who decides to prepare all her classic recipes and blog the results. With Chris Messina and Stanley Tucci. (123 min, PG-13. Big Picture, Bijou, Capitol, Essex, Majestic, Marquis, Palace, Roxy, Welden) LOVE HAPPENSHH Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart are paired in cowriterdirector Brandon Camp’s romantic comedy about a hunky self-help author and a Seattle florist who make a love connection when he comes to town for a speaking engagement.

PONYOHHHH1/2 From world-renowned master of animation Hayao (Spirited Away) Miyazaki comes this “Little Mermaid”-inspired story of a goldfish and her dream of one day becoming human. Featuring a voice cast including Matt Damon, Tina Fey and Lily Tomlin. (101 min, G. Palace, Savoy) SHORTSHH1/2 The latest from Robert Rodriguez tells the story of an 11-year-old boy who’s hit on the head one day by a rainbow-colored rock with the power to grant wishes. Which leads to much magical mayhem, as everyone in town tries to get their hands on it. With Jimmy Bennett, Jon Cryer, William H. Macy and Leslie Mann. (89 min, PG. Paramount, Welden) SORORITY ROWH1/2 As so often happens, some sorority members accidentally cause the death of one of their sisters in a prank gone awry and decide to keep the truth to themselves.

Majestic, Paramount; ends 9/24) TAKING WOODSTOCKHHH Director Ang Lee’s latest is the fact-based comic saga of how Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin) brought the generation-defining music festival to his rural backyard.

Roxy; ends 9/24) THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFEHH1/2 Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams play a couple whose relationship is perfect except for one problem: They never know when he’s going to disappear and pop up in another time and place.

Big Picture, Bijou, Marquis, Stowe, Sunset, Welden) TYLER PERRY’S I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELFHHH1/2 In the prolific filmmaker’s latest, Madea returns to alter the course of a young singer’s life by helping her learn the importance of family, faith and love.

The Foreignvore Challenge My week of eating globally by Lauren Ober

n 2005, a clever local-food advocate from San Francisco named Jessica Prentice coined the term “locavore.” Two years later, the Oxford American Dictionary bestowed on the term its Word of the Year honor. Today, everybody and her mother is a locavore, or “localvore,” as they call themselves in Vermont. These people won’t touch a cucumber if it traveled more than 100 miles before ending up in their salad. Mangoes, bananas and avocados are likewise off the menu, because there’s no way they

grown potato without whacking a localvore in the gob. This fall, no fewer than a dozen local-food groups are organizing weeklong challenges. Currently, City Market in Burlington is sponsoring the Eat Local VT Challenge, which runs until Saturday. I will not be participating in this or any other localvore challenge. Instead, in the spirit of personal competition and general button pushing of the holier than thou, I created my own little test: the Foreignvore Challenge. For the last week, I have striven to eat only food that has traveled at least 100 miles. If the sweet

were grown anywhere near our northern latitude. And don’t even think of offering dedicated localvores a Slim Jim or a Klondike bar, because if a local farmer didn’t grow or produce it, they aren’t eating it. Localvores eat more healthily, celebrate their connection to the land, keep their carbon footprints in check and contribute to the local economy. They also try to enlist other people in the lifestyle by issuing “localvore challenges.” These encourage some regular Nabisco, Frito-Lay and Heinz consumers to ditch their corporate brands for a week in favor of food that was grown or produced close to home. In Vermont, you can’t throw a locally

Ditto if the corn came from Colchester or the broccoli from Barton.

I looked at a map, drew a circle with a radius of 100 miles around Burlington and vowed >> 04B

to eat only food that came from outside it for seven days. If something was made in Vermont with ingredients originating outside the radius — such as Madhouse Munchies potato chips, Vermont Bread Company sandwich loaves or Lake Champlain Chocolates — it was acceptable for consumption. Localvores have a “Marco Polo” exception list that allows them to consume things such as coffee, tea, chocolate, salt and spices that can’t be grown in this part of the world. Like them, I gave myself a list of culinary exceptions — an “Ethan Allen” list. On my list was Dragonfly Sugarworks maple syrup, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Vermont Butter and Cheese Company butter and any Vermont apple cider. Because I allowed myself local apple cider, it made sense that I should also be able to eat cider doughnuts. There is only so much deprivation one can endure. The maple syrup and the butter are staples in my house, and I wasn’t about to waste money buying nonlocal varieties. The rationales for the Ben & Jerry’s, the cider and the doughnuts should be self-evident.

8/3/09 9:54:07 AM 7/30/2009 4:42:34 PM

On the first day of the challenge, I thought eating would be a breeze. Already my breakfast was not local. Every day without fail I eat a bowl of corn, flax and amaranth cereal made in Washington state, and chocolate soy milk made in Michigan. I also have half a cup of grapefruit juice that comes from somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. Cumulatively, my morning meal components traveled more than 5000 miles to get to my table. After breakfast, I cruised into the office feeling confident that I had this challenge whupped. Then, around 11:30 a.m., panic set in. I didn’t know what to eat for lunch. Normally, I would have gone to one of the Burlington eateries I frequent during the work week. But for the most part they all serve local food. Curses! In a pinch, I biked up to City Market and bought an organic microwave burrito, a yogurt from California and a “natural soda” bottled west of the Continental Divide. It only cost me $6.52. Despite the stress of changing my routine, I was beginning to like this foreignvore challenge, if only for the savings. But that evening brought another roadblock. My neighbor Warren asked me to dinner with him, his wife and their two kids. Depending on what he was serving, I might not be able to eat it. While it’s perfectly acceptable to decline food based on allergies or even vegetarianism, it did not feel OK to say, “Thanks ,but no thanks,” because of a self-imposed eating challenge. But when Warren told me we’d be eating grilled cheese and tomato soup, my fears were allayed. How local could that be?

Very, as it turned out. Warren likes to cook, so when I arrived, I found a pot of homemade soup bubbling on the stove. It was made with fresh, local tomatoes. Cooling on the counter was a loaf of bread he had just whipped up using local whole wheat flour from the bulk bin at the grocery store. The cheese Warren planned to use was Cabot cheddar. Good thing I’d brought along a can of tomato soup from Colorado. Luckily, Warren was understanding of my plight. He graciously agreed to cook my canned soup, and, as I stood around his kitchen looking sheepish, he searched the fridge for nonlocal cheese. He found a chunk of provolone of unknown origin, but that was the best he could do on the nonlocal front. When Warren put a bowl of steaming broccoli on the table, I didn’t even ask where it came from. The next day, I vowed to be better. Breakfast was the same, but for lunch I made a little more effort. I figured I would go continental — a seeded baguette with some cheese and a tomato. Wash that down with some tea and finish the meal with a spot of chocolate. No problems with local there. A man working the cheese counter at City Market assured me the Red Hen baguette was not made from local wheat. Then he pointed me in the direction of some smoked goat Gouda from Holland. When I told him of my challenge, he chuckled. “You’re going a little against the breeze, aren’t you?” he said, standing beside a sign touting the store’s only localvore bread. I grabbed a hydroponically grown tomato from Québec and some chocolate

from Seattle, and my meal was complete. It cost me $9.77. Dinner that night was a #2 and a #18, no cilantro, from Pho Hong. It was definitely not local. I didn’t even need to inquire. The following day, finding a nonlocal lunch again gave me some agita, until I realized the ultimate nonlocal restaurant was less than a block from my office. Handy’s Lunch doesn’t put on airs when it comes to food. Owner Earl Handy acknowledged that localvores would be unlikely to fulfill their mission in his establishment. It sounded like the perfect place for me. Before I ordered my grilled cheese with tomato and French fries, I asked him if I needed to worry. “We try to support the national economy,” he quipped. Handy explained that if he used local ingredients, I wouldn’t be getting my sandwich for $3.50. Touché. After that, I was on a roll with my global eating — until I hit a massive speed bump late in the week. My first “local oops” happened when I grabbed a quick egg, cheese and tomato sandwich at August First while conducting an interview for work. When I returned to the office, I realized I hadn’t even bothered to learn the provenance of my meal. Head hanging, I trudged back up the street to the café to ask. The bread was made from Québecois wheat, but the tomatoes were from the Intervale and the cheese was from Cabot. The eggs were from Shadow Cross, which isn’t exactly local, since they distribute eggs from all over New England. So I only half>> 07B

Baking the Books you knead to get your hands on these

Andrea Chesman of Ripton may not be a household name, but in local foodie circles she’s known for writing cookbooks that make excellent use of Vermont’s seasonal ingredients, particularly veggies. Published in 2007, Serving Up the Harvest: Celebrating the Goodness of Fresh Vegetables is easy to find at local food markets and bookstores. So fans may be surprised to learn that Chesman’s new volume takes her into much sweeter territory. Coauthored with recipe tester Fran Raboff, 250 Treasured Country Desserts offers key lime pie instead of kale; cherry clafoutis instead of carrots. Country Desserts is actually an updated version of one of Chesman’s earliest works. “I think there’s a strong trend in publishing right now to get as much mileage as possible out of a book by adding

Like your dessert to come with some dishing? The title of Gesine Bullock-Prado’s new tome, Confections of a Closet Master Baker: One Woman’s Sweet Journey from Unhappy Hollywood Executive to Contented Country Baker, says it all. Within, the petite pastry chef — who happens to be Sandra Bullock’s sister — writes about how she once kept her baking obsession under wraps. “In Hollywood, I’d have had more street cred if I’d revealed that I was a crack-addled, anorexic leper … What kind of weak-minded, carb-consuming domestically minded loser bakes?” she asks rhetorically. Bullock-Prado eventually came out of the pantry, and in 2004 she opened her very own café, Gesine Confectionary, on Elm Street in Montpelier. The author rhapsodizes about her newly adopted

Beefing Up Sales For nearly 40 years, Jim Kleptz of LaPlatte River Angus has been raising beef cattle on a piece of land in Shelburne. Although the cows began as a hobby, Kleptz got serious about the business — with the help of his sons — after retiring in 1987. He’s been selling to local restaurants, supermarkets and consumers ever since. So when Kleptz says the market for local beef is shifting, there are decades of experience behind his pronouncement. “Since the economy has changed, our restaurant business has dropped off,” the cattleman says. Chefs aren’t simply trading filet mignon for sirloin — they’ve always bought Keptz’ cheaper cuts — they’re simply ordering less beef. “Most of the expensive cuts go to the stores, like City Market, Shelburne Supermarket and Lantman’s [IGA, in Hinesburg].” Are restaurant diners choosing the chicken? Kleptz thinks not. He guesses that folks are simply eating out less often than they used to. But the drop in restaurant sales has come with an unexpected bonus. Although LaPlatte doesn’t advertise that it sells sides of beef directly to customers, the phone has been ringing off the hook. “That’s been a minor part of our business,” says Kleptz. Now he’s selling “a few a month” to people “looking for alternatives.” While it’s not quite enough to make up for the restaurant deficit — “We’re probably still down some, maybe 15 percent,” Kleptz guesses — the extra income doesn’t hurt. With any luck, the demand for big hunks of locally raised meat will continue, even as the economy improves. That could be the cloud’s silver lining for purveyors who have been struggling to keep their farms alive.

50 recipes and giving it new life,” she says. “Since the original book came out in 1990, I’ve really specialized in vegetables, but we all need to eat dessert.” Especially when the goodies sound as delicious as Frosted Cream Cheese Lemon Drops and Forbidden Rice Pudding. Chesman — who also edits and indexes cookbooks and writes for periodicals — is already knee-deep in her next writing venture, scheduled for publication next fall. Its recipes will incorporate “hearty grains, root vegetables, winter squashes, onions and other things that store well,” she says, including “at least a dozen recipes for coleslaw.”

THE BEST KEPT

SECRET IN BURLINGTON

If you didn’t get to try Miguel’s Stowe Away during its sojourn in Burlington circa 2006, you’ll soon get another chance. Owners Michael and Adrienne Henzel will open a new incarnation of their eatery in the Battery and Main building that has housed Quatre Bistro, Quatorze and Greenstreet’s. “Someone thinks we deserve a chance again,” Adrienne says. “A setback is a setup for a comeback.” When will the comeback happen? Michael isn’t exactly sure, but says it will be “soon”: “There’s a sign in the window. I’ve cleaned the kitchen and gotten a health license.” Although “a lot of the old favorites and a lot of [south of the border] specials” will be on the menu, Henzel says the spot “won’t be all Mexican.” He plans to serve sandwiches, salads and soups, too. “I want to be on the edge and do some new things and some exciting things,” he says. One thing for sure, notes Henzel: Local ingredients will play a major role, and fruits de mer will abound. At the couple’s current location at Sugarbush Village, the fish tacos — made with panko-crusted haddock, jicama relish and chipotle remoulade — are a big hit. Although Madera’s Restaurante Mexicano Cantina is located right down the street from his new site, Henzel’s not worrying about the competition. “I think it will be a good neighborhood,” he says.

But Bullock-Prado also applies her razor-sharp snark as readily to the residents of her new home as to the Hollywood elite. “I slow down at the hippie café, minding the patchy-bearded string beans propping themselves against the bricks,” she narrates. “There’s no telling when they’ll rouse themselves from their weed coma and dart into incoming traffic in search of a drum circle.” Ouch. Those who want to know why Bullock-Prado sold her bakery (it wasn’t the hippies) and what she’s doing now can find answers in the 226-page memoir. And they can find something else, too. There are 18 recipes, including one for apfelkuchen and one for something called “Orgasm Cake.” If the pecan, chocolate and coffee concoction lives up to its name, that alone might justify the book’s $24 price tag.

ports bars are usually defined by two crucial elements: beer and televisions. Then there are the plates of once-frozen, deep-fried snacks, the no-nonsense staffers and the raucous patrons cheering or jeering at the TVs. Haute cuisine and gracious service aren’t usually part of the deal. That’s not the case at 156 Bistro, a newly opened “sports bar” restaurant in the former home of Meñores, Plan B and The Waiting Room. First of all, if you want to, you can find a table far removed from the tubes that are sprinkled around the dining room. More intriguing, the menu mixes traditional pub snacks with slightly fancier “contemporary American” fare: Think pan-seared scallops with ginger and braised Swiss chard. The décor is definitely on the masculine side — a rich, dark paint job, comfy banquettes and a big chalkboard listing major sporting events of the day. Carnivores will find plenty to like on the menu. But there’s more to 156 Bistro than meat, potatoes and football. For one, the cocktail offerings are a cut above, with daily specials that include primo ingredients such as fresh fruit and mint. I ordered the spicy Bloody Mary “fiery,” but our helpful server suggested toning it down. She also made sure to serve the drink’s jumbo shrimp garnish on the side, since she hadn’t asked about shellfish allergies. Did I mention the trio of plump olives in place of the usual celery stalk? It was a preview of coming attractions. Appetizers at 156 range from the “hot” Buffalo wings to the more creative Thai Sticky Wings — both priced at $8. The former were crispy and served with a generous portion of blue cheese dressing. The latter — glazed with a honey-hoisin sauce and sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds — were presented under a wild tangle of fried rice noodles. The chicken, sticky as advertised, was sweet and satisfying. Spinach and artichoke dip — a pub standard — is the only meatfree app on the current menu. Though appealingly garlicky, the artichoke heart hunks were too ungainly to balance on crisp,

But there’s more to 156 Bistro than meat, potatoes and football. herbed bagel chips. Dangling strings of wilted spinach made things messy, too. Judicious use of a blender would solve both problems. The soup du jour, on the other hand, underpromised and overdelivered. Simply called “ham soup,” the generous bowl of creamy broth actually featured prosciutto, ham’s sexier Italian cousin. It was drizzled with a tidbit of truffle oil — not your standard sports-bar condiment. Between courses I examined the dining room. Decorated in black and magenta, the space feels cozy and clubby. Only a few patrons were lingering at the bar, and most of the tables were empty on a sunny Thursday evening. The chefs, working quietly, were visible in the semiopen kitchen. They sent out a tossed salad

with just the right amount of house vinaigrette, but the greens hadn’t been well vetted, and some pieces were slimy. Placing whole red-onion rings atop salads is an unfortunate trend. Tiny bits of onion or shallot — whether sprinkled over the plate or mixed into dressing — are a lovely complement to many vegetable concoctions. Entire rounds throw things out of balance. Chopped Salad — a take on the classic Cobb — came topped with thick slivers of smoky bacon, grape tomatoes, blue cheese, hardboiled egg and lots of perfectly ripe avocado. A bit of restraint with the sweet, honey-mustard dressing would have earned it a gold medal. Although the chefs at 156 are clearly striving to make the food memorable, some of

<< 07B

the dishes could have used more zip. A colorful Misty Knoll chicken roulade, stuffed with prosciutto, roasted red pepper, fresh mozzarella and spinach, didn’t stand out. I rarely order salmon — chefs just don’t seem jazzed about the pink stuff, perhaps because of its “obligatory seafood dish” status — but the bistro’s cilantro-lime-ginger rendition sounded intriguing. The filet was nicely cooked, and the sweet-pea risotto was a refreshing change from potato sides, but the bold-sounding flavors didn’t really deliver. A burger arrived closer to medium than the requested medium-rare, but the patty, advertised as “freshly ground,” was bursting with flavor — it was dotted with blue cheese and redolent of Worcestershire. Ketchup delivered sweetness and acidity, but a funky homemade condiment would be a nice touch. As with the apps, vegetarians have only one entrée option: Vermont Pasta. The dish of fat, corkscrew-shaped fusilloni — like fusilli on ’roids — was topped with char-licked roasted Roma tomatoes, more wilted spinach and cheddar sauce. The cheese sauce was pleasant and the tomatoes were zesty. Had they been chopped and scattered, the bits would have pumped up the flavor of every bite. A daily special of scallops and shrimp Provençal over noodles sounded garden variety, but it turned out to be a home run. The “pan-seared” shellfish was tender and sweet, although it lacked the hint of caramel color that signals deepened flavor. The best part was the winning rendition of a classic white wine and butter sauce. The pair of pasta dishes illustrates one of 156 Bistro’s main — and easily remedied — flaws. When a restaurant is young, the owners economize by using identical ingredients in numerous menu items. Here, the same noodles were used in each entrée, and the seafood version was studded with — surprise! — tomatoes and spinach. Nearly every main dish came with potato wedges, either roasted or fried. Shrimp popped up all over.

Another example: The regular steak entrée and a nightly steak special seemed like attractive identical twins dressed in slightly different outfits. Both pieces of meat were great: heavily seared on the outside and juicy rare within. The offmenu version, a New York strip sauced in a rich, winey reduction, came with tender potato wedges, asparagus stalks and onion rings. The other steak was served au jus, with meaty ’shrooms, potato wedges and “seasonal vegetables.” The latter proved to be none-too-seasonal asparagus spears. For the occasional visitor, this repetition might not be a problem. But for a regular — or someone with dietary restrictions — seeing the same ingredients repeatedly could make the menu feel tired. Hopefully, as business picks up, other vegetables, varied starches and meats such as pork and duck will occasionally crop up. A trio of homemade desserts — butterscotch apple tart, blueberry tart and creamy cheesecake — were simple, good and sweet. When our server brought the check and our wrapped leftovers, the takeout containers were labeled with the name of the restaurant and the date — yet another example of 156 Bistro’s exceptional customer service. Extra plates appeared with each course to accommodate sharing. Water glasses were regularly refilled. On my second visit, my friends and I sat by the open, garage-door-style window with a westward view. When our server noticed that I was squinting in the late-evening sun, she offered to close the window, but noted that the glare would soon dim. She was right, and the sunset was beautiful. For now, the food at 156 Bistro is good, but not quite as dazzling as evening skies over Lake Champlain. However, some Burlington-area restaurant owners could take a lesson from whoever coached this staff to provide such excellent, nuanced service. And, as the restaurant acquires a cheering section and the dining room gets busier, that’s one thing that should stay just as it is. m

succeeded in fulfilling my mandate. In other words, I failed. My second local oops was the result of another dinner party. Friends invited my girlfriend, Becca, and me over for an evening meal, and I figured there was a 50/50 chance the dinner would be nonlocal. Because one-half of the couple is Pakistani, they often cook food from that part of the world — lentils, rice, etc. Just in case, I brought my trusty canned soup. Sadly, this dinner officially destroyed my chances of finishing the challenge respectably. The meal my friends made consisted almost totally of ingredients from their CSA share at Intervale Community Farm. The salad greens were so fresh I could still taste the earth on them. Local beets topped the mesclun mix. Thank goodness for Maytag blue cheese from Iowa, the only foreign part of the salad. For the entrée, my friends cooked up local tomatoes and broccoli rabe with some pasta — which probably didn’t come from Vermont, since durum wheat is not grown here. At this point in the meal, I tried to pull out my can of lentil vegetable soup from California, but Becca admonished me for rudeness. My friends concurred that I was being lame. The next day I tried to salvage my foreignvore cred. I went to the Burlington farmers market and ate a bowl of mixed-lentil curry from the Tibetan folks while everyone around me basked in localvore do-goodery. Later, I bought a chocolate bar made in Switzerland and drank some water stolen from Fiji islanders. The last evening of the challenge, Becca made pesto with purple basil from a friend’s garden in Williston and garlic and parsley she’d bought at the farmers market. She combined that with kale from Pitchfork Farm and cabbage from the Williston friend. The pesto went on pasta from our neighborhood Lebanese corner store and it was decidedly not local. Instead of indulging in this homemade meal, I heated my can of soup and slurped it down while trying not to look at Becca’s far more interesting fare. I’m pretty sure she smacked her lips extra loud just to tease me. My foreignvore challenge has come to an end, and here is the takeaway: Eating locally in Vermont is easy. Eating globally here is hard. Eating locally makes me feel healthy and responsible. Eating globally makes me feel like a fat slob. Eating locally is shockingly expensive. Eating globally is refreshingly cheap. Were we in another place — Cleveland, perhaps — or in another season, such as the dead of winter, this challenge might not be so difficult. But during summer in Vermont — New England’s horn of plenty— local is hard to avoid. And that’s not such a bad thing. m Got a comment on this story or a suggestion for another one?

STORY AT 11 ::

So, you folks like the indie music, eh? Well, so does NBC News anchor Brian Williams. Really. Specifically, the buttoned-down TV personality appears to have a thing for 2009 Polaris Music Prize nominees

Great Lake Swimmers, whom he recently interviewed on his surprisingly entertaining vlog, BriTunes. We gotta say, the man has good taste. GLSâ€™ latest effort, Lost Channels, is an opus of elegant indie folk and may well represent their finest work to date. This Thursday, GLS appear at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with The Wooden Birds (ex-American Analog set) and striking up-and-comer Sharon Van Etten.

Club listings & spotlights are written by Dan Bolles. Spotlights are at the discretion of the editor.

did 10 years ago. If anything, the selection was smaller — though that could be a product of the general downsizing of WRUV’s library to accommodate its, um, cozier home. I know, I know. I’ve been rather overt — and Worse, the local collection is seriously shameless — in the last few weeks plugging outdated. To wit, amid the paltry stack — the Burlington Bands 101 Showcase slated for yup, stack, singular — I found a CD from Wednesday, September 23, at Nectar’s and Club one of my old bands that was released more Metronome featuring seven totally kickass local than a decade ago, and it was among the bands, two killer DJs, one über-talented emcee newer discs. Exaggeration? Maybe a little.

But the problem is — warning: beneficiaries of this show’s door revenue. I’m about to get really mad — local bands All of that said, since the show takes place don’t send their CDs to the station anymore. the day this paper hits newsstands, it doesn’t WTF? really make sense to talk about it anymore.

Jim Lockridge (Big Heavy World, the Radiator) has aired similar laments in conversations we’ve A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a story about WRUV DJ Brad Barratt — had over the years. Seven Days has helped rectify that situation by aka “the Humble Janitor” — who is deaf [“Deaf Jam,” September 9]. storing our archives in the Vermont Music Library, so anything local Shortly after the story ran, Barratt emailed to thank me for writing it — bands send me will eventually wind up there. But it can literally take humble, indeed — and also to inform me that his show, “Janitors From months for those CDs to make the three-block journey from our office to Mars!” would be changing time slots this fall, from Saturday nights at 8 Big Heavy/Radiator. And Radiator DJs p.m. to Saturdays at 10 p.m., beginning this week.

“the funniest play you are likely to see in your entire life” - Montreal Gazette

Class dismissed.

BitE tOrrENt See what you made me do? I got so worked up that I just blew half my column chewing you out. I hope you’ve learned your lesson. Moving on, the big news this week is the surprise return of one of my all-time favorite Vermont acts, Black Sea Quartet, who are reuniting for one show only this Friday at Montpelier’s Black Door. Scenesters who recall Burlington circa 2004 will remember the highoctane klezmer-ish outfit as among the most exciting live bands of the era, and I don’t need to tell them why this is great news. So, allow me to speak to the youngsters for a sec: You know how you guys think gypsy-punk hybrids like Gogol Bordello and World/ inferno friendship Society are all that? Well, OK, they are. But you should really see BSQ. No, they’re not “punk” in any regard — beyond attitude, perhaps. But their take on Eastern European music is as inventive as any you’ll find. Trust me. Best wishes to Greg Davis, who just embarked on a two-week Japanese tour in support of his latest album, Mutually Arising, which was released on Kranky Records in July. He’ll be back briefly before embarking on a lengthy West Coast tour in November with his other, um, “other music” duo, Sun Circle. Safe travels, Greg! Possumhaw are back in action following a baby-makin’ hiatus with a show this Friday at Burlington’s best listening room, the Parima Acoustic Lounge. The nifty folk outfit will have a slightly new look — and a baby — as they unveil new mandolinist Steve Waud (the Winding road) and bassist Pat melvin (Kelly ravin trio). Welcome back, guys. When you think “jazz,” Burlington restaurant The Scuffer is probably not the first joint that comes to mind. However, the homey steak-and-ale house is set to unveil a weekly jazz series with the PJ POSSumhAW Davidian trio beginning this Thursday. Davidian says the trio’s lineup will likely rotate from week to week, but the debut installment features bassist Anthony Santor and trombonist Andrew moroz. Finally, a public memorial for late, great local sax man Larry mcCrorey will be held this Tuesday, September 29, at UVM’s Ira Allen Chapel at 3 p.m., followed by a reception in the Billings Student Center. And I’d suggest getting there early, as it will no doubt be very well attended. m

Know your (Copy) Rights Local bands Lendway and Ghosts of Pasha square off By Dan Bolles

arlier this month, local indie outfit Lendway released a six-song EP, Lights Disappear in Yellow Smoke. The disc was a follow-up to their highly regarded debut album, The Low Red End, and featured a song called “New York, New York,” arguably the EP’s centerpiece. But unless you bought one of the first 500 copies printed, you will probably never hear it. On Monday, September 7 — five days after a favorable review of Yellow Lights appeared in these pages — Seven Days received an email from local duo Ghosts of Pasha alleging Lendway had reproduced “New York, New York” without permission or crediting the band in the EP’s minimal liner notes. The email also asks Seven Days to “set the record straight” regarding the matter — a task that has proved easier said than done. Buckle up for the story. “New York, New York” originally appeared in 2004 on a Ghosts of Pasha EP entitled G.O.P. ASCAP publishing credits list current GOP members Milo Finch and Chris Partyka, as well as ex-drummer Ezra Oklan, as the tune’s songwriters. There is no mention of Lendway or any of its individual members having publishing rights. But should there be? In 2002, Lendway front man Michael Clifford was briefly a member of Ghosts of Pasha and participated in the initial writing session for “New York, New York” with Oklan and Partyka. Finch also claims to have been

involved, though both Clifford and Oklan offer contrary recollections, claiming the first session involved only the aforementioned three members. That Finch was involved in later sessions is not disputed. Also undisputed is that the tune’s original concept was Oklan’s. The drummer created the song’s skeleton, which would be fleshed out by the group with lyrical contributions from Clifford, as well as a modulation that appears in Lendway’s version but not GOP’s. Shortly after that session, Clifford left the band. GOP went on to record and release the song and eventually license it to Showtime. The cable television network used it in an episode of “This American Life,” a television version of Ira Glass’ National Public Radio show of the same name. The episode featured Ghosts of Pasha. According to Finch, Clifford’s contributions to the tune were stripped entirely from the song prior to that recording. And comparing the two versions side by side, that would appear to be the case. However, Oklan offers a different take. “Mike had a lot to do with that first session,” he says. Oklan notes that there were several writing sessions for “New York, New York.” While Finch claims that GOP ultimately did not use his specific lyrical contributions or structural ideas, Oklan suggests it would be impossible to quantify Clifford’s input, which would be key to determining copyright co-ownership in court, should either side choose to pursue the

issue that far. “I can’t say that [Clifford] had no influence on the song,” says Oklan. According to Finch, Clifford actually performed the song with GOP on a couple of occasions prior to leaving the band, including a performance on Goddard College’s radio station, WGDR. Dennis Wygmans, the one-time coowner of Burlington nightclub Club Toast, is now a Brattleboro-based entertainment lawyer who spent the last several years practicing in New York City. He points out that copyright for “New York, New York” likely existed

Legal action seems farfetched, if only for the fact that the cost of it would outweigh any potential gains on either side. long before anyone registered the song. “When people get together to create a work of any kind, that creation is basically copywritten at the point that it is fixed in a tangible medium,” he says. That could include anything from lyrics written on a notepad during a rehearsal to a demo recording or album. Or a live performance on a college radio station. “Just registering something doesn’t necessarily create the copyright,”

Wygmans notes. “All it does is create a cause of action, so if you need to sue someone in the future, you can … and recover damages.” Finch has hinted at the possibility of a lawsuit, both in an email and in a phone conversation with Seven Days, citing frustration at the lack of swift resolution to the issue. But legal action seems far-fetched, if only for the fact that the cost of it would outweigh any potential gains on either side. Furthermore, Lendway has since stated that they will destroy the remaining copies of the EP and remove “New York, New York” from future pressings

of Yellow Lights. They are also removing a melodic theme written by Partyka from the song “White Noise,” a version of which appeared on a GOP EP called Grand Army of the Republic Highway. GOP’s version does credit the tune’s primary songwriter, Michael Clifford. “I just don’t care,” says Clifford, who claims to have lost eight pounds and several nights’ sleep during the ordeal. “It’s just a song,” he concludes, adding, “To me, ‘New York, New York’

is a cover now. They [GOP] can have it.” Wygmans points out that regardless of who really wrote the song, technically, Lendway did not need permission to record their version of “New York, New York” — Lendway did approach Oklan just prior to the EP’s release, and Oklan consented to its inclusion, albeit without consulting Finch or Partyka. However, as the registered copyright exists now, Lendway should still have credited GOP as songwriters, as well as paid a per-use fee, known as “mechanical royalties,” to the tune’s publishers, in this case GOP. Though it differs from case to case, the going rate for mechanical royalties on a song under five minutes in length is generally around 8 cents per copy. In other words, to use “New York, New York” on 500 CDs, Lendway should have paid GOP — wait for it — $40. Put another way, each GOP member would have received $13.33 in royalties. Of course, had the song become a commercial success, those numbers would have increased exponentially. Much ado about nothing? Perhaps, though the principle is important, especially in a town where musicians swap partners like it’s Saturday night at Plato’s Retreat. Copyrights exist for a reason, and not merely to provide the grounds for frivolous legal action. They provide documentation and an avenue through which to protect the only asset most local musicians have: their music. m

In MeMory of Pluto, 1994

Jer Coons, Speak

(Self-released, CD)

You probably don’t hear as much about local songwriter Jer Coons as you should. Although lately, dude hasn’t been around all that much. The pop troubadour has taken his act on the road and largely left the comfort of his Green Mountains home behind. A glance at his calendar reveals an impressive number of dates all over these United States. Coons was kind enough to record his debut album, Speak, just before he left, but for pop-enthused Vermonters, it might also serve as a “Dear John” letter to his home state. Once radio — and a sufficient quantity of squealing teenage girls — get wind of it, he’s likely bound for bigger things. Let’s get one thing straight: Jer Coons is a Pop songwriter — capital “P.” And he’s a good one. As he travels the highways and byways of this great land, he will elicit comparisons to any and all of the following dudesmiths: Jason Mraz, Howie Day, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, etc. Smartly, Coons addresses that impending critical folly on his website, outlining how he is and isn’t similar to several current pop darlings. For example, his take on Mraz: “Similarities: They both have a huge range and can sing many words in a short amount of time with few pauses. Differences: Guys actually listen to Jer Coons.” Pretty funny, right? That tongue-in-cheek bravado will serve him well on his road to stardom, as it does over the course of Speak. Coons is a playful, and at times artful, writer. However, there’s a reason folks will compare him to bigger acts. Though he’s abundantly talented, Coons is also young and has yet to fully put his own stamp on his music. From the opening title track through album closer “The Only Trace,” you can pretty much make a list of the above songwriters and check them off as influences like in a game of “I Spy.” That said, two things should set Coons apart as he grows. One, the kid can sing. Like, really sing. He has great instincts and impeccable control, combined with a genuinely pleasing voice. And two, he’s funny. Like, really funny. Amid the fairly predictable sonic fare that makes up most of the disc, Coons proves a slyly entertaining lyricist, which lends a cheeky, “aw, shucks” appeal to his music that, frankly, most of the aforementioned rogues’ gallery can’t touch — looking at you, Howie Day. Given a little time to come into his own, Jer Coons should not only live up to his chosen influences, but surpass them entirely. Jer Coons releases Speak this Friday, September 25, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge.

(Self-released, CD)

One of the distinct pleasures of making your living covering Vermont music is observing the evolution of local bands from promising upstarts into maturity. In truth, young acts bursting with potential are roughly a dime a dozen ’round these parts. My notinconsiderable CD stacks runneth over with releases from flash-in-the-pan outfits who deliver a tantalizing appetizer or two and then recede into the shadows of anonymity. You never really know which bands will stick. But it’s always fun to watch when they do. Witness In Memory of Pluto. The band has been among the area’s most dynamic live acts almost from inception. But they stumbled out of the gate with a frustrating self-titled debut EP. However, they rebounded with ferocity on their sophomore attempt, Cutting Open the Fiction, a disc that landed on Seven Days’ top 10 albums of 2008 and offered a vastly more accurate representation of the band. Now they return with 1994, a deliriously punchy and surprisingly hefty four-song EP that suggests IMOP are destined to make a lasting mark, locally and beyond. From the outset, 1994 reveals an outfit rounding into top form. “Sometimes We Lie” reintroduces IMOP as a force of driving, guitar-fueled pop savagery — just in case you’d forgotten. Where much of their early work could be criticized for erring on the side of saccharine, the band reins in the overt hookery in favor of artfully restrained themes and melodies. In particular, vocalist Seth Gallant seems to have struck a balance between onstage firebrand and the more introspective writer he portrays in his solo work. “Halloween” marks the clearest jump in maturation. To be sure, it’s still catchy as all hell. But there’s a gritty edge here recalling Where Have You Been-era Dinosaur Jr. And that’s a very good thing. “Lift Into Frames” is similarly muscular and Mascis-ian; guitarists John Flanagan and Bill Jandl continue to evolve their rare synergy. Not to be out outdone, the rhythm section displays impressive cohesion amid the tune’s myriad shifts and turns. In particular, bassist Zach Jandl seems to have seriously locked in with drummer Ryan McGrath, especially on “Waltz,” which closes the EP in lighter-waving, fist-pumping 6/8 brilliance. In Memory of Pluto have long been teasing us with an abundance of promise. So, too, is 1994 something of a tease, in that it fleetingly suggests the realization of that simmering potential. In fact the EP’s only shortcoming is just that: It’s short. In Memory of Pluto celebrate the release of 1994 at the Seven Days-sponsored Burlington Bands 101 showcase, Wednesday, September 23, at Club Metronome. Dan Bolles

it takes two In “L’Amour au théâtre,” members of the Trisha Brown Dance Company move in silky, postmodern patterns, sliding in and out of easy duets, trios and quartets. But the nearly 40-year-old troupe shows that fascinating collaborations occur offstage as well as on. In a special performance at the Hop, MacArthur “genius award”-winning choreographer Brown showcases her newest pieces, such as “L’Amour,” and reprises classics — on which she often collaborated with the late American artist Robert Rauschenberg. The 1990 piece “Foray Forêt” features Rauschenberg’s visual flair in the dancers’ gold costumes. His set design, lighting and music shape 1995’s “You can see us,” in which a duo of dancers can’t see each other. No wonder Brown refers to her work with the artist as “my best dance.” Trisha Brown Dance Company

NO VISA REQUIRED They say some people can move mountains. If Marta Gómez did geographically what she does vocally — interweave sounds from all over South America and beyond into original world-music tunes — she’d be one of them. Colombian-born Gómez and her five-member band bring freshness to indigenous South American folk music by infusing it with Latin American rhythms, Caribbean enthusiasm, and jazz and pop elements. Taken together, their distinctive sounds are a taste of the continent’s rich culture and heritage — and prompted the Los Angeles Times to say of Gómez, “Anybody who comes here to make music this beautiful should automatically be given citizenship for making our country, and the world, a better place.” Someone, alert the authorities!

ORDINARY PEOPLE For months, bibliophiles have been abuzz with talk of Julie Otsuka’s award-winning 2003 novel When the Emperor Was Divine, this year’s Vermont Reads pick. Bookworms hear the story behind the pages when Otsuka visits the state for the fifth annual Burlington Book Festival this week. Emperor, which Publisher’s Weekly called “a heartbreaking, bracingly unsentimental debut describing ... the travails of a Japanese family living in an internment camp during World War II,” has personal meaning to the New York City-based author: Otsuka’s grandfather was arrested the day after Pearl Harbor, and her family was sent to a Utah camp for the duration of the war. “I wanted to write a novel about real people,” Otsuka says. “The predicament of the family in my novel ... is that of ordinary people caught up in the extraordinary.”

THERE AND BACK AGAIN

SAT.26

Anyone who witnessed Frodo’s travels in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy has probably been aching to visit New Zealand’s vast, mountainous landscape ever since. If sky miles and limited pocket change are holding you back from your dream vacay, why not catch a taste of the island country in nearby Barre? Kicking off its fall season, the Opera House presents the 26-year-old Kahurangi Maori Dance Theatre — a professional troupe that travels the globe spreading New Zealand’s indigenous culture through song and dance. With genealogical chants, martial arts techniques and exotic costumes, the 20-member group stages scenes of early Maori life, including a “taonga” performance honoring their treasures — such as mountains, rivers and canoes. That certainly gives new meaning to “my precious.” KAHURANGI MAORI DANCE THEATRE

Just_A_Gem, 43, u, l, #115254 LOOKING FOR SOMEONE RARE/ WONDERFUL Off-the-beaten path world traveler, light packer, 55, unpretentious, intuitive, healthy lifestyle.

THE PRETTY PROFESSOR I’m a very happy, outgoing person, like to meet new people and learn about their lives & their work. Love my job - successful career. Summer & fall are my favorite times in Vermont - love living here. Looking for an energetic, honest, fun-loving guy to enjoy life with. jf, 50, l, #115159 DANCETASTIC, FUN LOVING, DOWN TO EARTH I am a funny, creative student who loves new adventures. I am also extremely outgoing & surprisingly witty. I spend much of my free time dancing & discovering new ways to enjoy my days. Small acts of chivalry go a long way. Please be smart, thoughtful & open. deedee21, 21, l, #115164 HOPE THIS WORKS... I hope to find someone who doesn’t take things too seriously. I’m extremely low-maintenance, but I do require some attention from time to time. I’m very easy to get along with. I like kayaking, road biking & going to the gym (but it’s just too nice in the summer). Maelkth, 24, l, #115137 STARTING WITH THE LETTER “D” So this asks “how delightful am I” tough to say. Delightful is in the eye of the beholder. What am I looking for? If I knew I probably would not be here. Someone open, fair, honest and flexible. Good sense of himself and a great sense of humor. Patience and an equally busy lifestyle are a must. givingitawhirl, 46, l, #115126

HI! I really don’t like describing myself. What could I possibly say in this short space that would make someone understand me? I’d love to meet someone to hang out & try new things with. I love music, reading, writing & being in the sun. I’m carefree & laid back. Nikkide, 23, l, #115218

THOUGHTFUL, WELL TRAVELLED, CURIOUS I am capable & independent. I own my own house & business. I love being a mother, but my kids are growing up and I am left to discover new & uncharted territory. That both scares me & intrigues me. I am looking for a partner who complements me. Looking to laugh, travel & have fun. gery3, 49, u, l, #115114

THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST “To laugh often, to love much; to win the respect of intelligent people, the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics & endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played & laughed with enthusiasm.” jodono99, 52, l, #115212

CONFIDENT, FOCUSED, LAUGHING Not sure what I am looking for, but do know that a few drinks w/ a great guy sounds pretty good right now. Friendship first, no huge commitments, please. Just looking for some happiness & good times. I love the outdoors & good people. I hope you like dogs, too! 23inVT, 23, l, #115110

I’m a fun, happy person looking for a great guy to share all the great things in my life, a “partner in crime.” I like to be adventurous, but I need someone to bring that out in me.

I tend to be more of a tomboy than a pretty girl. I can hang out w/ the guys & get dirty, but clean up very well. I’m looking for someone who can make me smile & laugh. heath85, 24, l, #115025

BRILLIANT, WITTY, ATHLETIC, LOVING, HUMBLE I am looking for friendship. I am looking for honesty, humor & play. I like doing things, not just talking about doing things. I like to bike, hike, walk, wander, swim, wade, get lost, get found & have fun. I like to learn. I love to write. I adore clever use of written words. So, if you are interested, write. Ipomoea, 35, l, #114978

NILL ILLIGITIMI CARBORUNDUM Ahhh ... an autumn day on a Vermont mountaintop shared w/ a partner. Me: 5’10, athletic build, piercing blue eyes. I’ve stopped defining what I desire in a woman - it evaporates when put into words - but I am attracted to soulful eyes & sunrise smiles. I belie my age, but the truth is in the beholding. I prefer face-to-face encounters to electronic communications. Lusus_naturae, 62, l, #115277

WOMEN seeking WoMEN

FIT ADVENTURE LOVER I am so sick of text message dating I figured, what the hell ... let’s try email dating. Would be great to find someone confident enough to just call instead of hiding behind the keys on the phone. Someone w/ a bit of integrity would be nice.

Would love to meet a great girl. someclevername, 27, l, #114618

FunLovingHippie, 21, l, #115208 INTRO, RETRO, CIRCUM I’m 30, kinda skinny, starting to feel the age. I think too much, tends to get me into trouble.

Dear Mistress Maeve, I’ve been single for a while, and I’m looking to get back into the dating game. I recently was introduced to the older sister of a close friend of mine, and we hit it off. About a week ago I had a party at my house, which both my friend and his sis attended. I found out from my friend at the party, in some vague terms, that his sister had some interest in me. He also, while hammered drunk, gave me his “full blessing” to “hit on [his] sister.” However, I worry about whether he actually feels comfortable about it. He’s the kind of guy who is more apt to put on a brave face than speak out about something that bothers him. On top of that, his sister is coming off a serious relationship, and I don’t know her thoughts on dating again. Personally, I’m not expecting anything serious, and it makes me worry that if I do opt to pursue the sister and it doesn’t work out, things will become awkward among the three of us. Do I take a shot with the sis, or play it safe with my buddy? Signed, Bro Code in Boston Dear Bro Code, Forget it. If you’re “not expecting anything serious,” don’t even go there. The Bro Code — a set of laws dictating how dudes interact — prohibits you from pursuing a relationship with your buddy’s sister unless you are ready to make her your bride. Given your lukewarm feelings and her fresh-out-of-a-relationship status, you are better off hosting your pants-off danceoff with someone else. However, if your feelings for her grow, there is hope. Have a talk with your friend. Let him know that, while you appreciate his drunken blessings, you’d prefer his sober reassurance. If you date her, you must be the consummate gentleman — you’ll have little room for error in this relationship and a high price to pay if you screw it up. Be sure you care enough about this girl to risk your friendship with your buddy — because that’s exactly what’s at stake.

Brotherly love,

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY LOVEY A year ago you gave me your number and we sat & talked in my car til 6 in the morning. I love you so much & am so happy we are still together. You mean more to me than you will ever know & I hope we have many more years together. Love always, cookies & cakes. When: Saturday, September 13, 2008. Where: everywhere. You: Man. Me: Woman. #906374 GIMME! To the incredibly handsome man w/ beautiful green eyes who shouted “Gimme!” You may not have my Sana Cruz Blur but you may have my heart, my devotion & all the juicy love I have for you. When: Saturday, September 12, 2009. Where: Red Square. You: Man. Me: Woman. #906373 Trout River Brewery Waitress Your blue eyes lit a fire inside me, a fire that hasn’t burned in a long time & hasn’t stopped burning since. I can’t stop thinking about you.
