T
his year North Carolina has seen tornadoes, record breaking heat, a hurricane and (I can’t believe I’m typing this): an earthquake. Obviously this can only mean one thing: God is bored. Can you blame ‘im? What omnipotent source of all life and existence wouldn’t become bored with so little in the way of social upheaval? In fact, with the recent announcement of Amendment One, some might argue that we are progressing backwards. I am not recommending we go all “Anarchy in the U.K.” (it’s been done and frankly It sounded better on paper), but how can we as a people continue to demand “change,” when the only thing many of us have regularly changed since the 2008 elections has been our Facebook status? A wise bumper sticker once said “we are the people we’ve been waiting for...” The Internet has both served as a way of spurring and organizing social change in the rest of the world, while at the same time distracting us from social change in our own country. Maybe the next time you’re thinking of organizing a flash mob, you could use that platform to bring attention to an important 6 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
charity? Perhaps a civil rights rally is in order? Did somebody say “socially aware drum circle”? ... No? ... Okay. The FEED has always maintained a fair distance when it has come to the subject of politics. We don’t want to tell you how to feel, so much as we’d like to encourage you to feel something about something and then do something (non-violent and hopefully not ridiculous) about it. Get angry, or miffed, or cool and collected and start something new. Make your city, state or country better. This month we have a story on the Gilbert Theater’s artistic director Lynn Pryer. He changed his community, challenged perceptions and did so without flinching in the face of opposition, and he did this all while well into his 60s. Most of you reading this are still in your 20s and 30s. Whether you want to stop war, fix the economy, make art, defend civil rights or impress girls, it all starts with getting out there and doing something.

Then I got High Hip hop history is littered with legends and myths, as is the nature of the beast. One such legend was that Tupac Shakur’s former group, The Outlawz (spelled with a “Z” ‘cause the letter “S” is for bitches) had, soon after Tupac’s untimely death, smoked their former leader’s ashes. Early last month, The Outlawz, whom are inexplicably still together, revealed in an interview with VladTV, that this rumor is in fact true. “(We) threw (in the water) a lot of sh*t he liked at the beach. Some weed, some chicken wings, he loved orange soda ... Pac loved that kind of sh*t,” said Young Noble during the interview. Outlawz’s E.D.I. added, “If you listen to ‘Black Jesus,’ he said ‘Last wishes, niggas smoke my ashes.’ That was a request he had. Now, how serious he was about it? We took it serious.” Ah yes. If we recall correctly, Jesus’ final

miracle was to turn water into orange soda and then he smoked Tupac.
InFRANCOtion In July it was announced actor James Franco would be reprising his role on soap opera, General Hospital. Franco’s character (named ahem, “Franco”) is a mysterious performance artist. This struck a lot of people as odd, considering the prolific young actor already has a commitment to Broadway’s Sweet Bird Of Youth, and is also in the midst of shooting Oz The Great and the Powerful. Most chalked this up to Franco bending the laws of space and time; until Franco himself dismissed the announcement, saying there has been “a little bit of misinformation” regarding his return. Ah, but don’t lose hope in Franco’s ability to blow your ever-loving-mind yet, as photos of Franco on the set of the soap have been leaked. He can’t be stopped.
Beverly Hills Host Speaking of stuff that James Franco’s agent should have never allowed him to do - the Oscars have announced their new host. The 84th Academy Awards will be hosted by none other than actor / comedian Eddie Murphy. “Eddie is a comedic genius, one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever,” said Brett Ratner, who along with Don Mischer, has been tasked with producing the award ceremony in February. No word yet on how much of the show’s budget will be set aside for the production of fat suits, but our guess is: all of it.
company has lost the rights to their onceexclusive content from Starz (as well as Disney and Sony), and has had to deal with a whole slew of new competitors. Currently, the company is having to face the consequences of their decision to force customers to choose between streaming and physical DVDs, or pay a 60% price hike to keep both of the services that they’ve become accustomed to (those consequences being a major loss in subscribers). What is a troubled company to do? Autodestruct. Netflix announced that they would be cutting out DVD delivery entirely in the coming months, instead splitting off into a secondary service called Qwikster, turning Netflix into a strictly movie streaming service … Analyst Tony Wible quipped that Netflix appears to be “actively trying to push people away.” Well, if those people are stock holders, then that strategy is working like gangbusters, as at press time their stock had plunged more than 38 percent in only four days. All this corporate intrigue and drama might make for a terrific Aaron Sorkin movie one day. A movie we will be inevitably streaming from Hulu.

Elegant Violence Bragg Women’s Rugby Football Club play organized chaos Written by Rachel “Riot” Schaaf

very Tuesday and Thursday evening at the field behind the North Post Commissary on Fort Bragg, dozens of female ruggers can be found passing, kicking and tackling with no pads and no fear. The Bragg Women’s Rugby Club is made up of roughly four dozen women from all backgrounds and levels of athleticism. With members ranging in age from 16 to 34, seasoned rugby players and newbies, school teachers to soldiers, the Club is an all-inclusive athletic and social outlet for its members. While the Club was formed in the early 1990s, it has only recently seen a spike in interest. Kiona Zappe, President of the Club and affectionately nicknamed the “Dictator” by her teammates says, “In the past year, word of mouth has increased attendance, and people are showing up. You can see from 2009 to now, we’ve doubled the people on our roster.” The women in the Fort Bragg Women’s Rugby Football Club are tough. Most have sustained injuries while playing, which is not surprising considering it’s a full-contact sport in which participants play with no pads or protection aside from a mouth guard.

The women in the Fort Bragg Women’s Rugby Football Club are tough. Most have sustained injuries while playing, which is not surprising considering it’s a full-contact sport in which participants play with no pads or protection aside from a mouth guard. Jeff Snyder, aka “Spider,” is the head coach of the female ruggers. An ex-player himself, he stopped playing after 22-years and started coaching due to his injuries. He says players expect to be injured, because of the intensity of the game. “All of the girls have had injuries, from the first practice to the first time you ever pick up a rugby ball, you get injured, you just learn to live with it. We have less serious injuries than basketball though, because the rules are made to protect the players,” Snyder says. “It is an extremely physical sport.” A match of rugby is played with a ball that looks like a slightly fatter football. Players attempt to pass the ball backwards while moving forwards in order to score a “try,” rugby-speak for a goal. Each team has 15 players who either run, pass or kick the ball towards their goal. Tackling is one 100% okay, but blocking is not. Rugby is played in two 40 halves which are separated by a short five to 10 minute break. Players have described it as an exhausting and exhilarating game that has no time-outs unless an injury happens. The team social chair and flanker, Erica Klenk explains, 14 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
“Everything is intense. The running, getting hit, hitting, pushing in a scrum. It’s just as taxing in a scrum with everyone pushing everywhere and you can’t breathe and your ears are crumpled. You never get a moment to breathe.” Not only does the Fort Bragg Women’s Rugby Football Club play hard, they party hard. As part of Klenk’s job as social chair, she plans the parties, or “socials”, that occur after each game and says they are just as important as the game itself. “It’s competitive to see who is going to have the best socials, and Bragg is definitely known for throwing great ones,” Klenk says. “The social is the third half of the game, and it’s just as important as the first two. The home team hosts the social, we play drinking games and sing rugby songs.” Head coach Snyder agrees that socials are an important part of the game, just as the sportsmanship demonstrated through socials are an important part of rugby culture. “The thing is, you can have the most scrappy game in the world, a bunch of injuries, broken noses and eye sockets. The girls try to kill each other on the pitch but right after the final whistle blows, it’s all respect--you go to the bar, have a drink together and it’s all good,” Snyder says. “ (Just try to) put two football or two soccer teams together without destroying the bar…our games are not about that. It’s about discipline, selfcontrol and composure.” The women in the Club share a camaraderie that seems rare for an extracurricular sports team. Most of the women on the team consider their teammates some of their best friends. Maybe it’s the intense practices, the rugby songs and team mottos they share, or the nicknames they’ve all given one another, but it’s evident that the team members have a bond. Danyel Claire, team treasurer and lock, says rugby made the transition from soldier to student easier. “I’m not in the military anymore and I’m just a student, so you lose that camaraderie when you don’t live on campus. It gives me that camaraderie that I was starting to miss from the military,” Claire says. The team members have been in one another’s weddings, helped each other move, and have become a close-knit family. Klenk explains it this way, “If I had to bury a body, I would call someone on the team.” Practices are open, and the Club encourages anyone with interest in the sport to come out. The Club plays other women’s rugby teams in the North Carolina Rugby Union (NCRU) including other social clubs as well as colleges like NC State, Guilford and Duke.

Religious Fervor The Holy Ghost Tent Revival on their fans, their music, and the art of throwing a hootenanny. By Rachel “Riot” Schaaf Photos by: Raul Rubiera Jr.
T
he Holy Ghost Tent Revival is a religious experience for some, a swinging sing-along for others, and the main focus of life for its seven members. Most of the band met while attending Greensboro College where they were all studying either music or theatre. Stephen Murray (banjo, vocals) and Matt Martin (guitar, vocals) were roommates and both theatre majors. The band that is now the Holy Ghost Tent Revival evolved from various incarnations of “bands” they formed to participate in talent shows during college. They have since added members: Hank Widmer (trombone, euphonium), Patrick Leslie (bass), Ross Montsinger (drums), Kevin Williams (keyboard) and Charlie Humphrey (trumpet). Forming in Greensboro in 2007, the band has grown and evolved to be a unique blend of swing, pop and Avett Brothers style indie-rock. When asked about their musical style and influences, guitarist Matt Martin says their sound is a mish-mash of, “Glen Miller, mixed with The Band, mixed with 1960s pop. The banjo is the kicker.” The band has released three albums on their own label, Good Ship Records. 2009’s Family EP and So Long I Screamed as well as 2010’s Northbound at Southpaw. The band is gearing up to finish recording and release two new albums: The Living Room Sessions EP and the full-length The Blood Beneath. “We are working on new material, we are www.The FayettevilleFEED.com | 17
still very much moving forward and excited and have a handful of songs that will be released next month,” says Murray. The Holy Ghost Tent Revival spends 80% of their time on tour. They’ve played for crowds of two and crowds of 2,000, from Miami to Chicago, with tour dates mostly concentrated up and down the east coast. Ryan Hinson, a long-time HGTR fan who 18 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
has seen the band dozens of times says what brings fans to the show is the ridiculous amount of energy, the music, and the friendly appeal of the band. “It’s the best of both. A down-home hootenanny and a modern folk rock show. They create a group of loyal fans everywhere they go who return to their shows every time HGTR returns to their hometown. Real communities
form around their shows,” Hinson, a Raleigh Rickshaw driver says, “HGTR knows how to whip the crowd into a frenzy. People clap, sing along, stomp their feet, and swing dance. By the end of the night, you can stand in the back of the room and see just about everyone hopping up and down, especially during the encore.” The name “Holy Ghost Tent Revival” came from a sign they drove by. Martin says that they felt the name was right and made sense based on the fact that their shows are high energy with dancing and clapping, not unlike a religious revival. The name has confused show-goers at times, with people showing up expecting an actual revival instead of a secular band. They’ve been yelled at, preached to, and prayed for, but one instance sticks out in singer Stephen Murray’s mind. “We were playing a show and a 14-year old girl came up to me weeping and let me know that Jesus wanted her to tell me that our band name was blasphemous,” Murray recalls. The same 14-year old girl friended the band on MySpace the next day to let them know she thought the banjo player (Murray) was “dreamy.”
For fans like Hinson, however, a HGTR show is a religious experience of sorts. “I always think about how they get everyone dancing, even people who don’t normally dance, like me,” he says. “Something about their music makes everyone feel like they should stomp their feet, at the very least.” Aside from trumpet player Humphries, who is attending school at Appalachian State University, the guys in Holy Ghost Tent Revival are constantly together. When asked what they enjoy doing outside the band, drummer Ross Montsinger says, “There is no outside the band.” Murray agrees, “When we come back from touring we’re like ‘let’s go hang out with our friends—oh wait, we are our friends”. The Holy Ghost Tent Revival is life for these guys who spend all of their time either writing music, practicing music, or performing music. The focus and seriousness with which they approach the band is probably the main reason the band does have so many fans. This is a career move for all of them, there are no day jobs or hobbies, the band is all-consuming… kind of like a religion.

Curtain Call
Story by James Johnson. Photos by Raul Rubiera Jr.
Gilbert Theater artistic director and founder Lynn Pryer takes his final bow.
I
t was 1992 and a 58-year-old Lynn Pryer was standing quietly in the dust covered basement of his newly purchased home, on Brandts Lane. He had only seen pictures of the house before his move from California to Fayetteville North Carolina and had up ‘til this point been uncertain if the space would meet the requirements he would need to begin what he would later refer to as his life’s “third act.” His eyes examined the dimly lit room, taking in details such as the potential occupancy and the height of the ceiling, before finally resting on the small space that would for eight seasons serve as the stage for the Gilbert Theater. “...This will work,” Pryer finally said, fighting back the sting of tears. 19 years, 18 seasons and two new stages later, Lynn Pryer’s Gilbert Theater has continued to challenge a largely conservative community with fearless, edgy and original art. In short: It worked, and now with the announcement of his retirement from the theater he’d founded, he begins his fourth act. Though he doesn’t quite look it, today Pryer is 77-years-old, and the impulsive passion that had him starting a black box theater in his basement in the first place is still very much there. Pryer, who spent much of his life in California, was a children’s librarian for more than 30-years. The shift from librarian to founding a black box theater might seem like a stretch, but Pryer
20 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
contends that it was less of a stretch than one might expect. “The way I did it, it wasn’t,” Pryer noted with a smirk. “I had carte blanche and so I would put on countless shows. We’d used puppets, we would have story telling... I taught story telling for 20 years, actually. We would have book talks. We would bring the books to life... No. I have never been too far away from story telling.” Pryer’s move to Fayetteville had to do with his desire to live closer to his son Christopher, who at the time was a member of the 82nd Airborne in Fort Bragg, NC. The theater he’d started upon arriving was something that even as a child creating shows in his garage for neighborhood kids, he had always planned to do. “I wanted to start a theater, I was praying that I would be able to make it happen. That was how I wanted my third act to play out … When I came here, I was raring to go,” Pryer said. “In 1992, I was laying the ground work for the theater all the while even though the theater was 2-years off... I would lay there in bed or on the couch up late at night and just think. Think, think, think …” Once the theater had officially opened, Pryer had managed to involve many experienced directors, crew members and actors from around the community. He took special care to make sure that even a theater as small as the Gilbert, approached the material with the utmost professionalism and care.
www.The FayettevilleFEED.com | 21
“I knew I wanted to do really thoughtful plays. I’ve always felt that great theater, great stories, have to have something to say,” Pryer said. “People love stories. You need a strong story. A lot of modern plays don’t impress me with their stories.” Part of doing plays that challenged audiences to think, meant performing plays that challenged the status quo. Pryer had no interest in rehashing old standards by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Instead he picked shows that were almost never seen in a town like Fayetteville. The Laramie Project, which dealt with the true story of a gay teen who had been killed in a small town. The Blue Room, an unflinching portrait of modern sexual encounters. How I Learned to Drive, which explored the unhealthy relationship between a young woman and her abusive uncle. Though the plays won the theater critical acclaim and at times packed houses, not everyone was a supporter, as Pryer soon found out in the fall of 2005, when a disgruntled neighbor made the push to have Pryer’s private theater company closed for good. The theater had been in the midst of starting rehearsals for A Small Affair, entirely unaware of what Pryer described as “the axe that was about to fall.” At the protest of a single neighbor, who shall remain nameless, the theater was informed that they would have to close their doors due to zoning issues. “Even after collecting all of the signatures that we needed, I learned that our nemesis had stated that he would spare no expense in seeing that our theater was closed. He would hire a lawyer or whatever it would take... (At this news,) I realized it was not going to happen … I caved in. We were homeless mid-rehearsal,” said Pryer. It began to seem as if all of Pryer’s years of work and dedication will have been for naught. Fortunately, Pryer, nor any of the people with his company, were willing to let go without a fight. A Small Affair went on to be performed in the Cumberland County Headquarters Library,
though the theater’s future was still uncertain. Finally, in a move that showed the city’s loyalty and commitment to the small black box theater, Fayetteville’s Arts Council invited the Gilbert to use their building as a performance space. “Thank God for them,” said Pryer. “I’ll always be grateful.” After three years sharing their performance space with the Arts Council, the Gilbert finally moved into its own location, just above the Fascinate-U Children’s Museum, at 116 Green Street. The new location, with its larger stage, professional grade lighting, spacious backstage area and lobby, serves as a monument to how far the theater has come from doing shows in Pryer’s basement and backyard. “... I never thought that we wouldn’t make it ... Gosh. I never did,” Pryer said. “I never thought of that until just now, but really. I never thought that we were facing our end.” Even today, with Pryer’s retirement looming, his replacement unnamed, his house on Brandts Lane being put up for sale and his return to California imminent, the director is confident not only in his theater’s continued growth, but in the legacy he will have left behind. “I just want my successor to keep the Gilbert thriving in the same way that it has been doing for 18 years. Original works, classics like Long Day’s Journey into Night, and the stories that can’t be told anywhere else... Who is going to do Exits and Entrances except for us? Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein? In this area? Who else is going to do Talking Heads?” Pryer considers that fateful day in 1992 when he’d first stepped foot on what would be the very first Gilbert stage, one of the top five defining moments of his life. “(Had it not worked) I don’t know what I’d be doing. I’d be a blithering idiot, very bitter and spending my days sitting in front of Rude Awakening,” joked Pryer. “You can’t start a theater in this town. People destroy themselves financially and end up in therapy. I can feel that we’ve made a difference.” www.The FayettevilleFEED.com | 23

OPSCOTCH
MUSIC FEST
An overview of the triangle’s biggest music festival.
The Hopscotch Music Festival is a three-day long event spanning 13 venues scattered across the five interdependent districts of Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. This year, the festival boasted an enormous lineup of nearly 135 bands, almost evenly divided between regional upstarts and established artists. FEED contributor Jaymie Baxley covered the event for Slant Magazine, who were nice enough to allow us to republish his first-person account of the festival.
24 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
Story by Jaymie Baxley Photos by Tony Murnahan
11:00 P.M. – Our first stop is Xiu Xiu at White Collar Crime. Predictably, the band’s performance was a nervy exercise in avant-garde bloodletting. There wasn’t a feel-good number to be found in the band’s setlist (do they actually have any feel-good numbers?), making their show a pretty disarming way to kick off a festival mostly populated by dreamy, indie-pop acts. But Xiu Xiu’s performance also made for a great expectation-cleanser: I am now officially ready for anything. www.The FayettevilleFEED.com | 25
12:30 A.M. – Leaning heavily on songs from this summer’s Arabia Mountain, the Black Lips energized the crowd at the Lincoln Theatre with a sloppy, rambunctious set. Even during the Georgia garage-punks’ slower-paced songs, a few overly stoked fans were still convulsing and attempting to crowd-surf. As I’m leaving the Lincoln, I bump into a mutual friend from our hometown. “Where are you guys heading?” he asks. “J . Mascis,” we reply. “Don’t do it, guys,” he warns, with a cadence so intense and foreboding I assume the venue must be on fire. “It’s going to be boring!”
1:00 A.M. – My friend’s prediction wasn’t entirely inaccurate: Coming from the rowdy scene at the Lincoln, I find it difficult to sedate myself for the Dinosaur Jr. frontman’s quiet, ruminative solo show at the classy Fletcher Opera Hall. If I weren’t feeling so anxious, I’d probably be just as captivated as all the pensive-looking faces surrounding me. At the moment, however, I really want to ditch the grownups and head back to the kid’s table.
9:00 P.M. – Earlier this summer, it was announced that Guided By Voices’s headlining stint at Hopscotch would mark the band’s “final-ever” live performance. Strangely, the mood here at City Plaza is generally indifferent. I suspect that this might be because: a) people aren’t convinced that this is really the end, being as this isn’t GBV’s first trip to the retirement home; b) people are beginning to accept that frontman Robert Pollard has reached Danny Glover-like levels of being “too old for this sh*t”; or c) going into the festival, the band didn’t really play up the fact that this was going to be their final show. Whatever the case, the lo-fi legends don’t appear to be bothered by the surprising lack of fanfare they’re receiving. Assuming this really is the end, GBV might not have gone out with a bang, but they didn’t exactly exit with a wimpier either.
10:30 P.M. – Over at the Lincoln, regional heroes Annuals are struggling with technical difficulties as the audience waits patiently through a series of false starts and awkward PA adjustments. The delay turns out to be totally worth it: The band delivers one of the weekend’s most thrilling performances, characterized by a series of abrupt shifts from gorgeous dream-pop to crunchy indie rock. Lull then shake.
11:15 P.M. – Meanwhile, on South Wilmington St., the Vivian Girls are trying to look cute and disinterested before a packed house at Slim’s. At least that’s what I imagine they’re doing. The small, tunnelesque venue is so congested that I can’t actually see the stage. Likewise, I can barely hear the band over the audience complaining about how packed it is. I do, however, manage to catch a glimpse of one Vivian’s elbow. It’s a pretty cool elbow. Not the festival’s finest elbow by any means, but cool nonetheless. 26 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
12:00 A.M. – I wonder how many people are hooking up at the Lincoln right now? I’m a little embarrassed to admit that, up until now, I’ve totally slept on Twin Shadow. They sound pretty fantastic so far. Also: they’re really romantic. I’ve noticed several couples here who’ve been making out nonstop since the beginning of the set. If Twin Shadow’s music doesn’t get you laid, then I don’t know what will...
1:00 A.M. – Seriously, what will? I’m at the J apandr oids show at the Pour House. But I’m not actually watching the band. No, I’m outside the club discussing the upcoming Wilco album with a group of dudes I just met. F*ck Twin Shadow.
8:20 P.M. – When The Flaming Lips arrive at City Plaza, droves of frizzy beards and pastel- colored tank tops crowd the stage (it looks like Black Friday at a Whole Foods out here! Hey- oh!). It was definitely a smart move to schedule the Flaming Lips as the last headliner; besides being Hopscotch’s obvious main attraction, their spectacle-laden performance would have raised the bar way too high for all of the festival’s subsequent acts. In fact, we’re only three songs in and the Oklahoma weirdoes have already given ticket buyers their money’s worth: Frontman Wayne Coyne is rolling across the crowd in his giant bubble suit; confetti is being blasted into the audience via cannons; provocatively costumed girls are dancing on stage; beams of light are being broadcast onto the downtown skyline; a giant screen is looping nonsensical imagery behind the band.
10:00 P.M. – ”Did you guys see the Flaming Lips? They had lasers and everything,” deadpans Tor o y Moi leader Chaz Bundick. Despite their comparatively low special-effects budget, Toro y Moi still manage a fun, hype-affirming performance at the Lincoln.
12:30 A.M. – I’m not sure what the current temperature is in hell, but it’s got to be at least fivedegrees hotter inside Tir Na Nog right now. It doesn’t matter: Titus Andr onicus is playing and the crowd here seems more than happy to accept the heat in exchange for one final opportunity to rock the f*ck out. The New Jersey punks’ Civil War-inspired anthems allow the festival to end on a vaguely triumphant note.

Freaky business Wilmington-based entrepreneurs find success with a freaky idea.
I
n a country where jobs are slim and the daily grind can seem draining, sometimes it is best not to wait for opportunity, but to instead cease it. That is what Wilmingtonbased entrepreneur Zach Crain and his partners have done with their new product, the Freaker. Freaker USA is a Wilmington based company dedicated to “preventing all moist handshakes” with their innovative, all-knit koozie or “Freaker.” The newly established company currently staffs only eight employees and serves as a reminder of all that can be accomplished when just one person sets their mind to something. Using their combined knowledge of gorilla marketing and social networking, Freaker USA managed to raise more than $60,000 using Kickstarter.com. Currently the company is promoting a specially created Wilco-themed pack of Freaker goodies, that is avaialble now with the purchase of Wilco’s new album, The Whole Love. How Zach Crain ended up in Wilmington is a story in of itself. After road tripping all over the country and a brief stint as a baker for a guy named Uzi Kornhauser, he decided against driving back to his hometown of Brookville, PA, instead opting to check out Wilmington, NC. “I had heard of Wilmington a couple of times. The letters were in bold on the map. I thought, ‘that sounds good. I’ll go there.’” 28 | FEED Magazine | September 2011

FEED:So how exactly does a Freaker happen?
Zach Crain: A Freaker happens when we get ideas in our mind grapes of what a Freaker would look like and then we sketch it out and put it into this program. Then we send it to the mill, and we pick out colors, and they put it into the machine that has a little program in it and it spins out some magical yarns and all that jazz together and then the Freaker happens … Have you touched a Freaker?
FEED: No, I have not yet touched a Freaker. Crain: It feels good on my hands … Okay then.
FEED: A quick look at your company’s website reveals that you guys don’t seem to advertise your product using traditional
methods. How do you get the name out? … Aside from the “grilled cheese parties”? Crain: Everyone likes grilled cheese, and ya know, they’re easy to spice up.
FEED: You guys are currently on the road right now promoting your product. How’s that going? Crain: We’ll be on the road for a while. We’re heading up the West Coast now. I think we got at least another month and a half (to go). L.A.’s pretty awesome. Really cool things are going on here. Really cool people have come out. The last run we did was, like, 20,000 or so. We’re kinda gettin’ some new ones out tonight. We just had a trade show in Vegas and got some Freaker sales there. 30 | FEED Magazine | September 2011
FEED: Cool. Do you have any final message for our readers? Crain: We’re pretty silly. We’re a lot of love. I guess I just want them to know that I want to get to know them a little better and talk to them and maybe whisper sweet things in their ears. (Also I’d like to) tell them about Freakers and how much we love them.
With only about 50 bucks in his pocket, Crain made himself a home in Wilmington. After a brief experience with a knitting class, he discovered that he wasn’t the best knitter but he did see a market for the all-knit koozies that he enjoyed making. Crain found himself a local family owned manufacturer in Troy, North Carolina and the Freaker was born. Currently Crain and the rest of the Freaker crew are touring the nation, throwing “grilled cheese parties” out of a box truck. The parties take place in random towns and allow the Freaker crew to shake the non-moist hands of their supporters.

here’s a moment toward the end of “Awful Light,” the forth track on Oulipo’s recently released debut EP, That is What I Said (and I Dove Into the Water), when the discordant clang of an acoustic guitar unfurls to reveal a hypnotic, flamenco-esque solo. This figure arrives amid a cacophony of stuttering electronics and processed strings. Here you’ll find a perfect summary of what this regional fivepiece is all about: Warm, organic tones combined with electronic impressionism to create music that’s simultaneously inviting and mysterious. Visceral, yet a little bit alien. “It (Oulipo) grew out of some home recordings I made in high school. The lineup really became official probably about a year ago,” explains frontman Ryan Trauley. The singer initially linked-up with bassist Frank Meadows to form an early version of the group. Later. guitarists Timmy Matthews and Nick Scavo and drummer Avery Sullivan were added to the fold. Not long after settling into their present configuration, the band was picked up by Raleigh-based record label DiggUp Tapes. As the name might imply, DiggUp specializes in cassette releases, a format that has recently started to see a resurgence of interest. “Those guys have been so awesome and helpful in every conceivable way,” Trauley said of his band’s current home. While the sum of Oulipo might be at DiggUp, its parts are scattered across North Carolina’s college campuses: Each member of Oulipo attends school in a different section of the state, an obstacle which forced the band to learn how to be as flexible as possible during sessions for That is What I Said (and I Dove Into the Water). “We all have homes that are within a half-hour radius, but we’re www.The FayettevilleFEED.com | 33
split between several universities — NC State, Appalachian State and UNC Asheville — and a high school. The five of us are rarely in the same place, with all of us having busy schedules, so we’ve learned to adapt to playing in almost all of the possible configurations of the five of us.” explained Matthews. Trauley, a former film major, recorded several portions of the EP through camcorder microphones. The singer later applied electronic accents and textures with video production software. According to Matthews, the band’s emphasis on sampling and studio-trickery helps Oulipo to stand out from other regional artists: “A lot of musicians coming out of Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill seem to really embrace traditional musical styles, structures, and instrumentation. And I’m not criticizing that at all, I love a lot of that music and some of it is really great and inspiring. However, I think the way we approach music is a little less traditional and, maybe, there’s a higher level of abstraction in what we do,” said Trauley. Appropriately, Oupilo’s September 8 performance at Raleigh’s Hopscotch Music Festival found them opening for one of the least “traditional” groups around: celebrated, California art-rockers Xiu Xiu. “It’s a total honor. Xiu Xiu have really distinguished themselves artistically and I hear their shows are insane. I was in California this week and I stumbled into a record store, and the walls were plastered with “Dear God, I Hate Myself.” It really struck me then how lucky we are to be playing with people like them,” Meadows said shortly before his band’s performance. Though their EP has only been available for a couple of months now, Oupilo have already started work on their full-length debut, which Trauley claims will be more “rhythmic and groove-based” than That is What I Said (and I Dove Into the Water). For more information on Oupilo and to hear the entirety of their debut EP, visit http:// oulipo.bandcamp.com/
1. St. Vincent - Strange Mercy Annie Clark’s (aka St. Vincent) third release is perhaps her most bold album to date. Clark’s fearless guitar riffs, mournful lyrics and visceral imagery make a winning combination. Strange Mercy’s refusal to pander marks it as not merely a great album, but a contender for high art.
2. Laura Marling - A Creature I Don’t Know Another female artist who is making waves with a third release is Laura Marling. Marling’s A Creature I Don’t Know is a notable step forward for the songwriter, who is transcending her nu-folk origins and has finally grown into her own voice.
3.
CANT - Dreams Come True
Following the release of Grizzy Bear’s acclaimed Veckatimest, Bears member Chris Taylor decided to cook up a new project under the moniker CANT. Unsurprisingly, Taylor has crafted a stylish though still very experimental L.P. that will likely satisfy Grizzly Bear fans who are still anticipating the band’s next release.
4. Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost Girls’ sophomore L.P., Father, Son, Holy Ghost is both a fun yet slightly twisted throwback album, that mixes in surf-rock guitar with smart and quirky lyrics.
5. Jonathan Wilson - Gentle Spirit Singer-songwriter Jonathan Wilson’s debut album, Gentle Spirit, has attracted a lot of attention, partly due to the cavalcade of big name collaborations. The album features Andy Cabic and Otto Hauser of Vetiver, Chris Robinson and Adam McDougall of the Black Crowes, as well as Brian Geltner, Barry Goldberg, Josh Grange, Gerald Johnson, Gary Louris and Gary Mallaber. Still, Wilson still manages to stand on his own as a great new voice.
6. Das Racist - Relax After having earned such a devoted following and mountains of buzz, it might come as surprise to many that Relax is Das Racist’s first commercial release. Relax is a lyrical masterpiece, replete with thorny beats and pop culture references. The debut is proof positive that Das Racist is more than merely an Internet fad. www.The FayettevilleFEED.com | 37
Game Review
Review by Kyle Spencer of GamingTruth.com
C
all of Juarez is an interesting series. It fared well with its debut, where many cited the game as being a “Call of Duty with a western theme,” but in many instances they were correct. Call of Juarez is a scripted, linear first person shooter that pits the player through kill room after kill room. The series has always been maintained its Western theme, and I am sure after such classics as Red Dead Redemption, the team quickly realized that it would be difficult to be able to match a Western themed game as well as Rockstar has. So in Call of Juarez: The Cartel UbiSoft shifted gears to a more modern, urban themed shooter. Sadly it misses on little opportunity. The story of the game is very bleak. Instead of a continuing story line of the McCall brothers you assume a descendant of the bloodline, Ben McCall. You are being hunted

by DEA agent Eddie Guerra and Kim Evans who is working for the FBI. Throughout the eight-hour campaign, you will take on LA and Juarez itself in hopes of bringing down the biggest drug cartel. Each character of the game has their own interesting sub stories, and can be expanded by collecting certain items that will pertain to that character. Naturally, the game features co-op play. You would think that having three-player coop locally or over LIVE would work very well, but in fact it seems to fail on many mechanics. Sure there is the typical play through of the campaign but there is no originality to each character that you’re playing with beyond the character’s gender. The idea of being able to narc on your partner to gain extra experience points is cool enough but there is very little reward for doing so, and if you do narc on a
buddy, there is hardly any consequence for that player. This ultimately makes the mechanic pointless, unless you really want to annoy your co-op partner. The aesthetics of the game are horrendous. The game looks horrible, and seems very blocky and grainy. I think back to past years where games tried using the Unreal Engine and running into the same problems where animations never seem to match up with noticeable pop-ins.
enough the only reason I even bothered with the multiplayer is because of this review. It was a waste of time and performed at a horrible frame rate that wasn’t helped by weak controls. Call of Juarez: The Cartel is a rushed product. It was poorly merchandised, and very poorly marketed. The game itself didn’t help matters either. The game performed in horrendous fashion and the story constantly left us wondering why. It was an OKAY series to play. Sure it wasn’t the best, but there was some life in those titles. Call of Juarez: The Cartel however crushed any hope that the series had left. I’m sure the team is now questioning their thoughts on going with a modern day approach. If there is ever going to be another one, please take it back to where the series belongs, in the Old West. Rating: 4.5/10
From misspellings in the subtitles for the game, to wrong game cues and even sentences appearing when there is no dialogue, it becomes clear that this game was rushed out the door with very little detail. The games multiplayer was also a tacked on idea. There are a couple of different game modes. You have your standard team deathwatch, and objective-based modes that play like any other standard shooter with multiplayer. Sadly
BOOK REVIEW
BELIEVING Review by Tasina Ducheneaux
I
cannot do justice in this review to how fascinating author this book is. Michael Shermer’s new book, The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies --- How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths is a fearless exploration of that which makes human culture tick. Shermer is trying to understand why it is people believe the things they believe – whether it be in an omnipotent God or a vast right-wing conspiracy or little green men from Mars. What is it about the human brain – its evolution, workings, internal and external influences – that makes humans believe in things they cannot see, prove, touch or feel? The first part of the book deals with why Shermer has been on this quest. He relates the story of a scientist who abandons the idea of atheism after seeing the beauty of a waterfall. He also describes a man who just got a feeling one day and began funding and supporting those who try to answer questions of faith and belief. Shermer also recounts his own journey from atheism to born-again Christianity to skepticism. The book is chock-full of all kinds of theories, studies, science, hypothesis testing, and other explanations for human behavior and belief. But the whole thing basically boils down to two main ideas. The first is what Shermer calls “patternicity.” This is the need for the human brain to try to find pattern and meanings in randomness. We like patterns and order. We draw pictures in the constellations, we hear ghosts in radio static, we believe rituals will keep us in a winning streak, etc. We want there to be a sense of order in the chaos of our lives. As a follow up to this idea, Shermer offers what he calls “agenticity.” We find patterns in the world and then we want to assign those patterns to an agent who is acting with some sort of purpose and logic. The gods placed the constellations in the heavens to honor brave hunters like Orion. There is a life after death and we are allowed to hear from our

lost loved ones in the static of random noise. God is obviously a Cardinals fan and if Albert Pujols doesn’t change his socks, the Cards will win the Series this year. God or the gods or some wiser more advanced being created this world and life and the afterlife with a sense of benevolence. We are not just an accident of physics and biology spinning madly on this blue ball in a universe we cannot pretend to fathom who then just die and turn to dust‌ never to be heard from again. Shermer describes himself as a skeptic, rather than an atheist. To a person of faith, this probably seems like nothing more than a semantic argument by a sad non-believer who is going to burn in hell. I cannot begin to imagine the backlash a book like this causes among the religious, or ghost hunters, or 9/11 Truthers, etc. The idea of our deeply cherished beliefs being nothing more than an attempt by our brains to create order out of random chaos is one that will deeply offend a lot of people. Shermer has written a book for the curious
and the open minded. Even if you think Shermer is dead wrong, the issues and ideas are important for people of all beliefs – or lack thereof. If the specific sections on God or religion offend you, at least read the sections on politics or ghosts. Understanding WHY people believe what they do and their following actions is something that is helpful to anyone. Rating: 5/5
