District 1 candidates gearing up for special election

SC House, Senate return in coming days to consider new district lines

By Skyler Baldwin A special election to fill the Charleston City Council District 1 seat vacated by Marie Delcioppo, who stepped down in October, is set for Jan. 11. Absentee voting will begin Dec. 13. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, a runoff will be held Jan. 25. And while some key issues facing Charleston may not have changed in the last few years — flooding, overdevelopment, rising costs of living and worsening traffic conditions — more people are coming up with new ways to tackle them. Five candidates are currently running for the seat: Jen Gibson, Boyd Gregg, Shawn Pinkston, David Winkler and Tony Fogle. The group ranges from Lowcountry natives and political veterans to transplants and first-time candidates.

Shawn Pinkston

Rūta Smith

Daniel Island resident and attorney Shawn Pinkston said in his campaign announcement that the government was created to secure “our God-given rights,” and that it does so only by the consent of the community it represents. As a military veteran and a member of local organizations like the Exchange Club of Daniel Island, the Daniel Island Community Association, Rotary Club of Daniel Island and more, he believes he has the network and experience needed to make an impact on city council. “City council has been pushing a political agenda rather than focusing on the nuts and bolts of governing,” Pinkston said. “There

have been proposals regarding critical race theory in our schools, reparations ... it has taken up a lot of time ... and it’s gotten away from those nuts and bolts — focusing on our roads, public safety, traffic congestion and making sure downtown is clean. “I think that’s what the people and the residents deserve,” he said. “We can argue about political agendas, or we can focus on these issues that impact citizens on a daily basis.”

Jen Gibson

No stranger to local politics, Berkeley County Democratic Party chair Jen Gibson’s run for District 1 centers on what she says is the need for better planning and foresight from city leadership. Gibson is already familiar with many of the items on council agendas, having worked closely with members over the last few years. But, she said, she is also familiar with the mistakes leaders have made. “People that are making policy and creating laws really need to be thinking 20 or 30 years ahead because what is good now could be devastating years from now,” Gibson said. “Having grown up here, I’ve seen it, and I’ve seen the consequences of it.” To her, flooding and transportation remain the greatest issues facing Charleston today. “Even though [flooding] might not be the biggest issue in District 1 specifically, it is the No. 1 thing that’s going to affect our pocketbooks,” she said. “At the end of the day that’s what really matters.”

As a former police officer and firefighter, District 1 hopeful and Charleston native Tony Fogle said while transportation and development — issues “everyone else will talk about” — are important, public safety is the biggest concern facing the city. “I’m not a politician — I’ve never been involved in politics before,” Fogle said. “What Fogle really urged me to run is what happened on King Street last year.

Both chambers of the S.C. General Assembly will return in early December to consider redistricting plans. New maps are required every 10 years by the U.S. Constitution to equalize representation across the state. The House plan, approved 21-2 with two members abstaining, has drawn fire for protecting incumbents and heavily favoring Republicans. The House returns 2 p.m. Dec. 1 to start deliberations, which are expected to continue at 10 a.m. Thursday and Dec. 6. Meanwhile, S.C. senators will meet in a special session at 1 p.m. Dec. 6 to consider a redistricting plan that has been generally praised. —Staff

Two men attempted to remove a parking boot from a stranger’s car using a large rock. These Stone Age vigilantes eventually realized the error of their ways and ran off into the night. RUNNERS UP A downtown man was spotted on security footage repeatedly punching a blue car. The car’s owner reported that he discovered his vehicle covered in trash, with dents along the passenger side door. When asked by an officer why he had attacked the vehicle, he told police he thought it was his car, adding that he had been drinking and was “a little trashed.” A collision center opened up shop to find that all 21 vehicles parked behind the business were unlocked and appeared to have been tampered with. A NASA employee lost her purple handbag during the eclipse. Hopefully, she won’t have to wait until 2024 to see it again.

City advances rental agreements with Boxing Club, Aquarium Charleston City Council, on Nov. 23, advanced two measures that clear the way for new agreements with local groups — one with the Charleston Boxing Club and the other with the South Carolina Aquarium. The agreement with the Charleston Boxing Club would allow the group to use the ground floor of the Reverend Alma Dungee Community Center at 1099 King St. after its extensive renovation. The second floor was also renovated, but access is currently restricted. The nearly 100-year-old building housed the boxing club started by local boxing legend Al “Hollywood” Meggett, who died in October, before renovations were completed.

The agreement allows for three renewal periods of five years each for a total licensing term of 20 years. A second measure would lease the Charleston Maritime Center to the South Carolina Aquarium for $1 per year, with its term ending in 2045 and given the option to renew for another 25 years. The aquarium currently sits a few buildings away from the Maritime Center. A pedestrian path connecting the two properties is included in the aquarium’s proposed $5 million renovations. And aquarium leaders plan to use the extra space for educational programming for local youth. —Skyler Baldwin

People died of cancer at higher rates in the years following the passage of the Affordable Care Act in states like South Carolina, where political leaders chose not to expand Medicaid under the new law, according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The study is the first of its kind to look at the impact of Medicaid expansion on cancer mortality rates, according to Dr. Evan Graboyes of the Medical University of South Carolina’s Hollings Cancer Center, one of the report’s authors. “Through this study, we estimate that over 5,000 cancer deaths were prevented during the study period in early Medicaid expansion states,” Graboyes told MUSC’s Catalyst in a report published last week. The study compared non-senior adults who died of cancer before and after adoption of the landmark 2010 health care law, showing improved mortality rates in states that expanded Medicaid eligibility. South Carolina is currently one of 12 states that has not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid covers health expenses for people who are children, elderly, disabled, pregnant or parents of minors. But many childless, low-income adults are not eligible or do not qualify for financial assistance for insurance on the federal marketplace. If the state were to expand Medicaid, an additional 188,000 uninsured people would be eligible for coverage, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. —Sam Spence

Arbery killers verdict: Area justice leaders react Murder convictions of three men Nov. 24 for the shotgun-killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia, is a major victory for justice in America that nearly brought the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers to tears. Although video evidence showed Arbery, an unarmed Black man jogging through a white neighborhood, was killed because he was Black, the guilty verdicts were not guaranteed, said Rivers, pastor of Liberty Hill’s Charity Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston. “This is still America,” said Rivers, a vice president with the National Action Network. He was among some 300 faith leaders who traveled to Brunswick to stand in solidarity with Arbery’s family. After deliberating for about 10 hours, a nearly all-white jury found Greg

McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, guilty on 23 counts in Arbery’s death on Feb. 23, 2020. The armed McMichaels, in their pickups, pursued the 25-year-old Arbery running through the community as Bryan joined the chase in his pickup, capturing it on his cellphone video when Travis McMichael killed Arbery. Travis McMichael testified he thought Arbery was running from a burglary, and he shot him in self-defense. The killing attracted nationwide attention as yet another example of unjust treatment of people of African descent. In Charleston, it also drew interest because Brunswick lies within the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor that extends from Wilmington, North Carolina, to St.

Augustine, Florida. Two days after Rittenhouse’s acquittal Justin Hunt, leader of Stand as One, led about a dozen protesters in a rally and march in downtown Charleston. He makes a connection with Arbery’s death with the Negro Act of 1740, passed by colonial S.C. leaders after the Stono Rebellion. But, he added, other limitations for Black people in the act still reverberates. “The next restriction was for slaves to raise food,” Hunt said. “Today I see this as the ability to develop and create independent substantial resources making us nondependent of others who exploit us. Today, this is something we as (Black) people must learn — to control our wealth, have the power of the dollar to collectively invest in land (and) businesses.” —Herb Frazier

from our leaders on council.” Despite the lack of political experience, Fogle said he believed his 30 years in public safety makes him a prime candidate. “We’re missing something here, and I believe it’s someone that knows a lot about public safety and who’s learned from the best of the best, and Mayor (Joe) Riley and Chief (Rueben) Greenberg were the best of the best,” he told the City Paper. “Greenberg was the biggest mentor in my life, same with Mayor Riley, and their goal was to make Charleston the best city it could be to live in.”

David Winkler

Newer to the Lowcountry, Daniel Island resident Daniel Winkler, who moved to

Charleston in 2019, said the work on Interstate 526 and the impact it’s had on Daniel Island led him to local politics. Prior experience as an accountant in Baton Rouge, Winkler said, will help him guide Charleston through the issues facing the community as it expands. “There’s no getting around growth, and it’s Winkler a wonderful thing,” he said. “But the question is: How do we continue to build on the charm that is Charleston through the growth that will inevitably occur?” Living on Daniel Island, he said, has made him much more aware of the issues that are more specific to District 1. “Certainly out here, we are a part of the

City of Charleston, but we are somewhat vastly different. We have some very good businesses located here, so we need to continue to say, ‘What do we want our community to be, and what are the challenges we have in our community?’ ”

Boyd Gregg

Daniel Island resident Boyd Gregg describes himself as an infrastructure engineer, family man, entrepreneur and community volunteer. He’s a Lowcountry native who says his expertise and skill set will serve to deliver through him superior services for Charlestonians. Gregg earned a bachelor and master of science degree in civil engineering from Clemson University. He built environmental treatment and waste-toenergy facilities throughout the nation, he says.

He now helps different municipalities overcome infrastructure challenges while remaining financially responsible. Gregg was a candidate in Berkeley County Council District 2 in 2020 against incumbent Josh Whitley, who won reelection with 56% of the vote. During the race, Gregg called himself Gregg a “strong fiscal conservative” on social media. Infrastructure issues like flood mitigation and controlling the impact of projects like the expansion of Interstate 526 are the focus of his campaign, he previously told The Post and Courier. Gregg did not respond to requests for comment by the time of publication.

EDITORIAL

Go back to the drawing board on the congressional map A

nyone who has crammed for an exam or rushed to complete a forgotten project knows last-minute work probably isn’t a best effort. But that’s exactly what the proposed state Senate version of a new map for South Carolina’s congressional districts appears to be — a thrown-together jumble to protect incumbents and thwart competitiveness. And the House version? Who knows? It hasn’t yet provided a draft of a congressional map, even though it is meeting for the next few days to talk about redistricting. At issue is redrawing districts that are roughly the same size in population without being skewed too much to one party or the other, when that is possible. The Senate’s proposed map essentially creates six districts that Republicans can easily win surrounded by an amoebashaped central district stretching from Columbia to Charleston that favors a Democrat. (Republicans currently hold six districts shaped similarly to the ones that are proposed; House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., holds the central district.) The Senate’s congressional plan is weak. First, most districts tend to favor Republicans by a much larger margin than general across the state, which tends to find 55% of voters cast ballots for the GOP. Second, the proposed districts are not competitive, scoring very low ratings in providing opportunities for a non-dominant party in a district to win. Similarly, there’s only one proposed district — the one Clyburn currently holds — that has been drawn to be competitive for a minority candidate. Finally, the districts aren’t compact, in general, because they split too many counties and precincts to achieve the gerrymandering crafted by the Senate designers. Example: In

the new map, Charleston County is split between Clyburn’s 6th District and Rep. Nancy Mace’s 1st District. But a proposal by the League of Women Voters of South Carolina shows how Charleston and North Charleston could be kept in the 1st while the 6th could shift more toward Columbia. Furthermore, there are ways to keep communities together that would make better districts. As highlighted by the League in testimony this week, “The Senate’s map produces what in our measure is a 14-percentage point partisan gap by slicing and dicing this clear community of interest in unreasonable ways. Charleston itself is split. Adjacent North Charleston would continue to be put into a district with Columbia, more than a hundred miles away, although it is very much a part of the social and economic networks associated with Charleston. James Island and Johns Island would be split.” But retooling the 1st District as suggested by the League would create a more competitive district with a Republican lean that would give Democrats or third parties a chance to win along the Charleston coast, which has trended more Democratic in recent years. Failing to keep North Charleston and Charleston together in the new congressional map would be a failure of public policy. It would mean people who live in the area would effectively lose the ability to pick who they really want to represent them. Why? Because a gerrymandered district that highly favors Republicans makes it virtually impossible for a candidate of another party to win. Bottom line: The Senate’s proposed map has a long way to go. State legislators should make sure districts are truly competitive and as fair as possible before rushing to pass a plan that was rushed in the first place.

The coronavirus pandemic illustrates this trichotomy perfectly. For example, we know it’s smart to wear masks to reduce transmission of the virus. But if you walk around any bar, restaurant or grocery store in South Carolina today, it’s clear we don’t understand the reality. Rather than doing what we know is right (to keep wearing masks), we ignore what we know and act as if everything is hunky-dory. It’s not. If you routinely watch a map of virus hot spots, it’s crystal clear the virus is about to make another surge in South Carolina. A map of the United States, for example, shows a slow approach of the virus toward us from states with high levels of COVID-19. Right now, South Carolina has a comparatively low rate of positive coronavirus tests — in the 5% range over the last couple of weeks. But look at where it’s already gotten cold — places The odd thing about like the Dakotas and Minnesota.

The difference American culture. between now and then is that people had a sense of common good, as compared to today when the notion of individual freedom at all costs trumps any general good to society. Ever heard of the English village of Eyam in Derbyshire? Its citizenry figured out 350 years ago how to protect other villages from spreading bubonic plague. To this day, it’s considered a case study in how to prevent disease. In Eyam, the plague arrived in August 1665 when a bundle of fleainfested cloth arrived for a tailor. Plague-infested fleas started biting people and they died. Over the next 14 months, some 260 people out of 800 in the village — almost one in three — died horrible deaths.

Little Theater Youth stage shows poised for return

By Michael Smallwood

Feature 12.01.2021

eather Reed’s music training program, SAPC Studios, is looking to extend into musical theater training and productions in the new year. Her idea to accelerate plans stems from frustration at not finding youth theater for her own child. In the summer, when theater companies seemed prime to return to stages in full force, youth theater was in the cards. Footlight Players, Charleston Stage and South of Broadway all had children’s theater shows planned. PURE Theatre ran a summer youth camp in July that culminated in a successful, unmasked performance of Puffs at the Gaillard. But as COVID cases rose and company plans shifted, youth theater was something that seemed to fall to the wayside. Queen Street Playhouse’s much anticipated Matilda was a major part of the City Paper’s fall arts issue in late August. The show, which was supposed to bow in March 2020 before the pandemic hit, was slated to return in December, which was already a triumphant feat. Students age and grow Provided over time, and some roles were reworked Footlight Players’ or recast, but most of the original cast was returning for this run. But a few weeks ago, Matilda has been the production disappeared from the Queen prepped for 20 months Street Playhouse website. It has since been

South of Broadway recently finished a run of Guys and Dolls Jr. replaced with a new holiday show, A Very Merry Footlight Holiday Special, a family variety show that, unlike Matilda, will neither be headlined by nor cater specifically to children. Queen Street’s board of directors voted to approve the change a few weeks ago, and in context, it’s an understandable decision. Until a month ago, children 5-12 remained ineligible for vaccination against the coronavirus. With schools’ sometimesconfusing and inconsistent mask policies, keeping consistent with guidelines was like hitting a moving target. And the delta variant spike, which peaked in late August and early September with over 300 cases per day statewide, hit the theater community hard. After Charleston Stage postponed the opening of Bright Star because of COVID, and without the added protection of having large, dual casts vaccinated, the decision to pause Matilda seemed like a no-brainer. PURE Theatre typically runs several education programs during their season, including an advanced training program for middle and high schoolers that meets at Cannon Street Arts Center and several in-school enrichment programs where PURE Core ensemble members go into classrooms. Both programs are currently on hold. Little Gems, which opened in November, is the first play at the Cannon Street theater since March 2020. And with many schools still maintaining strict visitation codes to limit exposure, PURE’s inschool programs are also currently on hold. It’s been a tricky feat this fall. Youth theater productions do not have the easiest time navigating around COVID protocols

of physical distancing and masks. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been done. South of Broadway just closed its production of Guys and Dolls Jr., forging ahead with the planned show despite the uncertainty and enhanced COVID protocols. “When we did Shrek Jr. last April, we had pushback from parents about masks,” said Mary Gould, founding artistic director of South of Broadway. “Some of them complained, especially about the social distancing, which resulted Gould in many fewer tickets for sale. But in the end, everyone was happy we did it.” The mask pushback is unsurprising.

Young performers typically struggle with volume on stage as they learn to fill a space with their developing voices. Face coverings can make that even harder. For Guys and Dolls Jr., South of Broadway maintained protocols from earlier this year, including social distancing offstage, masks for performers, staff and audiences, as well as constant cleaning and sanitizing. After the successful run of Guys and Dolls Jr., South of Broadway fully intends to continue with their youth productions in the spring by staging Aladdin Jr. in a new space. Charleston Stage has also managed to maintain its youth theater programs, albeit with a few shifts. The company’s family series returned in October with a limited run of Junie B. Jones is Not a Crook. It then took the show on the road, rolling out its new CityStage program, where Junie B. Jones toured to four local schools for performances. “We thought if schools weren’t allowed field trips during the fall due to COVID and couldn’t come to us for our school matinees, we’d come to them,” said Beth Curley, Charleston Stage’s director of marketing. Charleston Stage usually runs school matinees of its productions, but these were canceled because of the pandemic. Charleston Stage has also kept up its TheatreSchool classes, the actor training program run out of its West Ashley Theatre Center. The demand is there, too — enrollment this fall has been the same as pre-pandemic numbers. Classes were structured around school guidelines, requiring masks for

participants. Fall classes just ended, but the company is planning to bring them back this spring, with a new session beginning Jan. 13. Registration is currently open. COVID cases are dropping, and while figures aren’t as low as the spring, local theater companies continue to hope the spring season will be less chaotic than the fall. This is good news for youth theater. With Charleston having the highest rate of vaccinated residents according to S.C Department of Health and Environmental Control records (as of mid-November), and vaccine rollout for children opening up across the state, the optimism is returning. As the calendar turns and the spring brings the second half of this theater season, it appears youth theater will return to the fold. Charleston Stage has plans for TheatreSchool, as well as a production of Charlotte’s Web that organizers are hoping will include school matinees. Flowertown Players just launched its Winter Production Class for ages 13-18, culminating in a production of Cinderella Feb. 18-20, 2022. PURE Theatre, now back in Cannon Street, looks to bring back its in-house youth company this February and will make strides to return to its in-school programs. And SAPC hopes to enter the conversation with a new theater program. The future of the arts is in the hands of the next generation. That means inspiration and training, and it means involvement. As things return to normal, theater personnel are encouraged to see youth theater not getting lost in the shuffle. In their eyes, theater for youth, and the opportunity for kids to perform onstage, is a vital tool in carrying Charleston’s theater scene into the future.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s a favorable time to get excited about your long-range future — and to entertain possibilities that have previously been on the edges of your awareness. I’d love to see you open your heart to the sweet, dark feelings you’ve been sensing, open your mind to the disruptive but nourishing ideas you need and open your gut to the rumbling hunches that are available. Be brave, Aries! Strike up conversations with the unexpected, the unknown and the undiscovered. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A Tumblr blogger named Evan (lotad.tumblr.com) addressed a potential love interest. “Do you like sleeping, because so do I,” he wrote. “We should do it together sometime.” You might want to extend a similar invitation, Taurus. Now is a ripe time for you to interweave your subconscious mind with the subconscious mind of an ally you trust. The two of you could generate extraordinary healing energy for each other as you lie together, dozing in the darkness. Other recommended activities: meditating together; fantasizing together; singing together; making spiritual love together. (PS: If you have no such human ally, sleep and meditate with a beloved animal or imaginary friend.) GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Chuck Klosterman writes, “It’s far easier to write why something is terrible than why it’s good.” That seems to be true for many writers. However, my life’s work is in part a rebellion against doing what’s easy. I don’t want to chronically focus on what’s bad and sick and desolate. Instead, I aspire to devote more of my energy to doing what Klosterman implies is hard, which is to write sincerely (but not naively) about the many things that are good and redemptive and uplifting. In light of your current astrological omens, Gemini, I urge you to adopt my perspective for your own use in the next three weeks. Keep in mind what philosopher Robert Anton Wilson said: “An optimistic mindset finds dozens of possible solutions for every problem that the pessimist regards as incurable.” CANCER (June 21-July 22): An organization in Turkey decided to construct a new building to house its workers. The Saruhanbey Knowledge, Culture, and Education Foundation chose a plot in the city of Manisa. But there was a problem. A three-centuriesold pine tree stood on the land. Local authorities would not permit it to be cut down. So architects designed a building with spaces and holes that fully accommodated the tree. I recommend you regard this marvel as a source of personal inspiration in the coming weeks and months. How could you work gracefully with nature as you craft your future masterpiece or labor of love? How might you work around limitations to create useful, unusual beauty? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author Melissa Broder wrote a preposterous essay in which she ruminated, “Is fake love better than real love? Real love is responsibility, compromise, selflessness, being present and all that shit. Fake love is magic, excitement, false hope, infatuation and getting high off the potential that another person is going to save you from yourself.” I will propose, Leo, that you bypass such ridiculous thinking about love in the coming weeks and months. Here’s why: There’s a strong chance that the real love at play in your life will feature magic and excitement, even as it requires responsibility, compromise, selflessness and being present. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Andre Dubus III describes times when “I feel stupid, insensitive, mediocre, talentless and vulnerable — like I’m about to cry any second — and wrong.” That sounds dreadful, right? But it’s not dreadful for him. Just the opposite. “I’ve found that when that happens,” he concludes. “It usually means I’m writing pretty well, pretty deeply, pretty rawly.” I trust you will entertain a comparable state sometime soon, Virgo. Even if you’re not a writer, the bounty and fertility that emerge from this immersion in vulnerability will invigorate you beyond what you can imagine. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The problem with putting two and two together is that sometimes you get four, and sometimes you get 22.” Author

By Rob Brezsny

Dashiell Hammett said that, and now, I’m passing it on to you — just in time for a phase of your cycle when putting two and two together will probably not bring four, but rather 22 or some other irregularity. I’m hoping that since I’ve given you a heads-up, it won’t be a problem. On the contrary, you will be prepared and will adjust faster than anyone else — thereby generating a dose of exotic good fortune. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Is/ Not,” Scorpio poet Margaret Atwood tells a lover, “You are not my doctor, you are not my cure, nobody has that power, you are merely a fellow traveler.” I applaud her for stating an axiom I’m fond of, which is that no one, not even the person who loves you best, can ever be totally responsible for fixing everything wrong in your life. However, I do think Atwood goes too far. On some occasions, certain people can indeed provide us with a measure of healing. And we must be receptive to that possibility. We shouldn’t be so pathologically self-sufficient that we close ourselves off from tender help. One more thing: Just because that help may be imperfect doesn’t mean it’s useless and should be rejected. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “All my days I have longed equally to travel the right road and to take my own errant path,” wrote Norwegian-Danish novelist Sigrid Undset. I think she succeeded in doing both. She won a Nobel Prize for Literature. Her trilogy about a 14th-century Norwegian woman was translated into 80 languages. I conclude that for her — as well as for you in the coming weeks and months — traveling the right road and taking your own errant path will be the same thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Susan Sontag unleashed a bizarre boast, writing, “One of the healthiest things about me — my capacity to survive, to bounce back, to prosper — is intimately connected with my biggest neurotic liability: my facility in disconnecting from my feelings.” Everything about her statement makes me scream, “NO!” I mean, I believe this coping mechanism worked for her; I don’t begrudge her that. But as a student of psychology and spirituality, I know that disconnecting from feelings is, for most of us, the worst possible strategy if we want to be healthy and sane. And I will advise you to do the opposite of Sontag in the coming weeks. December is Stay Intimately Connected with Your Feelings Month. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In some small towns in the Philippines, people can be punished and fined for gossiping. Some locals have become reluctant to exchange tales about the sneaky, sexy, highly entertaining things their neighbors are doing. They complain that their freedom of speech has been curtailed. If you lived in one of those towns, I’d advise you to break the law in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, dynamic gossip should be one of your assets. Staying well-informed about the human comedy will be key for your ability to thrive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Originality consists in thinking for yourself, and not in thinking unlike other people,” wrote Piscean author James Fitzjames Stephen (1829–1894). Another way to say it: Being rebellious is not inherently creative. If you primarily define yourself by rejecting and reacting against someone’s ideas, you are being controlled by those ideas. Please keep this in mind, dear Pisces. I want you to take full advantage of your astrological potential during the next 12 months, which is to be absolutely original. Your perceptions and insights will be unusually lucid if you protect yourself from both groupthink and a compulsive repudiation of groupthink.

It’s all fun and games for Little Stranger

Music 12.01.2021

By Chelsea Grinstead

Local alternative duo Little Stranger has been going non-stop. Having played more than 70 shows since April with the last leg of a North American tour ahead, Little Stranger dropped a new music video in September and the group’s second LP, Trip Around Saturn, in November. “This is our full rising from the ashes as a phoenix — that’s kind of how it feels,” said one-half of the duo, Kevin Shields. The 12 tracks on Trip Around Saturn were all recorded at Little Stranger’s home studio on James Island, with bits and pieces recorded at Coast Records with Matt Zutell. How the music video came together for the new song, “Red Rover,” is reflective of the group’s finesse for creating feel-good tunes that are both intricate and heartfelt. “It was pretty funny how that music came about,” said John Shields, the other half of Little Stranger. “We found this guy on Etsy who makes these really awesome Power Ranger cosplay helmets. Now we have Power Ranger helmets, so what are we going to do with them? ‘Red Rover’ is probably one of our favorite songs off the new record, so we were like, ‘Let’s make a Power Ranger video for this one.’ ” “We are doing just about anything we can to relive our childhood dreams now that we are grown ups,” Kevin said. The track features Vermont-based rapper Jarv, who originally came up in the Brooklyn scene. On this album in particular, the guys dived deeper into sampling as part of their production techniques. The baseline

throughout “Red Rover” being an old song from 1969 is no surprise considering the nostalgic feel of the song and the lo-fi film effects in the music video. “It opens up a brand new creativity when you’re writing a song,” John said about repurposing sounds and chord progressions. “It’s a really fun, fresh approach to trying to write. It was not cheap on a lot of these to get these samples cleared. It kind of broke the bank for us, but we decided it was worth it.” The songs on the new record include some pretty hefty collaborations, like Cleveland six-piece Tropidelic on “Sunburn,” progressive roots group The Elovators on “I’m Fine” and prolific West Coast rapper Del the Funky Homosapien on “Brain Fog.” Considering John’s penchant for beat making and the fact that he and Kevin have been roommates for years, songs usually bloom between them starting on the music side first then end up with lyrics.

“If I hear some commotion happen, I can go down the hall and see what’s popping off,” Kevin said. Many quarantine nights were spent starting from scratch and passing tracks back and forth. Since both halves of Little Stranger consider themselves optimistic and unafraid to be emotional, their style of party music retains an unfailing sentimentality. “One of the songs on the album is a perfect example of that, it’s called ‘I’m Fine,’ ” Kevin said. “It was our response to dealing with all the bullshit, troubles and struggles of the last year and a half, but in a tonguein-cheek, fun kind of way — trying to make light of it.” Now that the two of them have reached the end of a year’s worth of touring condensed into a six-month period, they no longer feel put on hold. “It’s clear our fanbase is growing,” John said. “It’s hard to see because it’s an incremental growth, but we are starting to see it pay off, and we are seeing fans come out everywhere we go.” For Little Stranger, it’s going with your gut as you learn to stop questioning your skills and originality — “You want to see yourself as an artist, but realistically I just want to be happy and have a good life and make stuff that makes me happy,” Kevin said. “The music industry is the wild west and nothing is going to be handed to you,” John said of embracing the small gains in life. “My 22-year-old self had no idea how hard you have to work. I thought I would be farther along at 31, but I’m so fucking happy where we are at right now.”
