for the NEWS and MUSIC sections

Duties may include writing, reporting, copy editing and data input. Prior journalism experience, strong work ethic and an interest in Athens politics, music and/or culture are required; photography and digital skills are a plus.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This week Pete has turned his column over to Louise Platter, a recent Clarke Central graduate who left home for college last month.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to write about leaving your hometownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;maybe even harder than it is to leave. Leaving Athens was like ripping off a bandage. I packed up my things, got in my car and drove out of town. Writing about it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so easy, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the opposite of leaving. I have to confront everything I left behind and everything I left it for.

This year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a freshman at Converse College in Spartanburg, SC. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about two hours away from Athens and is my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alma mater. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small, close-knit community, and between the beautiful campus and engaging classes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything I could ask for in a school. The only problem is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Athens.

this feels like an insurmountable problem, but it is also an incredible opportunity.

Many people think of Athens simply as a college town, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never experienced it that way. For me, Athens will never be about UGA football games or finals week.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just home. This move allows Athens to continue to be just that for me. I know I will make lots of memories at Converse, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that in 20 years, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look back on this town with fondness. I hope that in time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to make something of a home here, but divorcing my college experience from my hometown means that Athens will always be purely home for me.

In many ways, Athens is a fundamental part of who I am. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my experiences and beliefs and memories. My identity is intertwined with my home, and I hope that the people I meet at college will get to Mandy Cooper

FLAGPOLE.COM â&#x2C6;&#x2122; SEPTEMBER 16, 2015

Athens is the place I grew up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where my parents live, along with many of my friends and the teachers and leaders who have shaped me into who I am. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I went to elementary, middle and high school. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spare you tedious descriptions of learning to read and ride a bicycle, but suffice it to say that almost everything I know about the world, and about myself, I learned in Athens.

All of this considered, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to see why I have always thought of Athens as my town, and the hardest part about leaving is knowing that â&#x20AC;&#x153;my townâ&#x20AC;? will go on without me. Other people will frequent my favorite downtown boutiques; other students will camp out in Jittery Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for hours; other teenagers will discover my hiding places.

At the end of the day, I am not essential to Athens.

I, on the other hand, am discovering that Athens is essential to me, even as I learn how to continue without Athens. At times,

experience a part of my old world, but I am learning that my location does not make me who I am. Whether Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in Athens or Spartanburg or anywhere else, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning that I can rely on myself for stability and security.

I consider myself very lucky to have a place that will always be home, but a crucial part of my college decision was to find a place where I could grow, and in a small town where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived for 18 years, there was only so much more growing I could do.

Picking up and moving to South Carolina was not the most comfortable option for me, but I know that it was the right one.

I would be lying if I said I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already homesick. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be lying if I said I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already planning trips back. Leaving home is really, really hard, but millions of people do it every day, and I can only strive to preserve the parts of me that Athens created and discover new parts of me here in my new town. f

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Religious Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fight Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Over And It Has Unintended Consequences for Everyone

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been watching TV, you surely have seen the controversy in Kentucky where a court clerk was jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses on the grounds that it violated her religious beliefs.

Georgia has avoided that kind of spectacle because probate judges here have done what they promised to do when they took the oath of office: uphold the law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, you got to follow the law,â&#x20AC;? Colquitt County Probate Judge Wesley Lewis told a reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is what it is. And you just have to follow it.â&#x20AC;?

The battle over â&#x20AC;&#x153;religious freedom,â&#x20AC;? however, will not go away anytime soon.

It will be a major issue in the next General Assembly session. Several legislators want to pass a bill allowing businesses to discriminate against gays when the owners claim that same-sex marriage violates their religious beliefs. If that bill passes, there could be all kinds of unintended consequences for the state.

Major corporations like Delta Air Lines, UPS, Coca-Cola and Home Depot have all expressed reservations about passage of a religious freedom law. They have taken this stand for a fundamental business reason: They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a profit by just serving customers who are Protestant heterosexuals.

They also have to sell their goods and services to gays, atheists, agnostics and nonChristians. Diversity is important to them.

Bob Barr, a former Republican congressman from Marietta, offered this cautionary note about the pitfalls of â&#x20AC;&#x153;religious freedomâ&#x20AC;? legislation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine waking up to the news that a Quaker county sheriff is denying concealed carry permits to citizens because of his religious objection to violence; or, a Muslim DMV supervisor in

Dearborn, MI has ordered his staff to refuse to issue driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses to women out of a religious objection to women behind the wheel. These are among the realities that await should we make Kim Davis, the embattled county clerk from Rowan County, KY, an archetype for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;religious freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in America.â&#x20AC;?

Barr makes an excellent point. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;religious freedomâ&#x20AC;? law would not just apply to Christians. It would extend those rights and privileges to Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Wiccans, Satanists and any group that claims to be a religion. Passage of a religious freedom bill also would give every person in Georgia whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been fired or disciplined on the job the temptation to go to court and sue their employer by claiming they were dismissed because of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;sincerely held religious belief.â&#x20AC;?

Sounds absurd? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already happening.

Consider the case of Charee Stanley. For three years, she was a flight attendant with ExpressJet Airlines. After she converted to Islam, she declared that her newly found faith would not allow her to serve alcohol to the airlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passengers. ExpressJet tried to accommodate Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes for a while, but other employees complained that she was exempted from duties everyone else was required to perform. The airline eventually suspended her, and she has now filed a federal complaint against the airline.

If a religious freedom law were to be enacted in Georgia, you would see a wave of similar complaints filed in virtually every courthouse by disgruntled employees, and they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem finding lawyers eager to represent them. That rush to the courthouse would be great news for attorneys, but not so good for those who actually have to run a business. f

Plus, Food Truck Pushback and More Local News

By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com Betteridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law states that when a headline asks a question, the answer is almost always â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably what most of yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all are screaming in your heads right now.

The upper floors of a number of downtown buildings are currently being converted into apartments. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more density downtown equals less sprawl, more customers for businesses and the opportunity for more goods and services, like a grocery store, to become available.

There is a catch: Athens-Clarke County law requires that each dwelling unit be accompanied by one or two parking spaces, depending on the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size. New developments downtown meet this requirement with parking decks, usually with the units wrapped around an interior deck.

Obviously, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re renovating an existing building.

Property owners recently approached Athens Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Pamela Thompson about leasing space in the ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two decks longterm for tenants. (The ADDA currently leases spaces for 30-day periods, mainly to downtown businesses and their employees.) But the College Avenue deck is nearly full, according to Thompson, and about

400 of 540 spaces are leased now in the West Washington Street deck, which got off to a slow start after it was completed in 2011. Demand for deck parking will increase if and when the ADDA accepts a bid to sell off a surface lot near Hotel Indigo for an office development.

Athens-Clarke County officials are likely to be reluctant to even consider another deck so soon after building one. (One that was an arduous, nearly decade-long process, I might add.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the stage right now where we need to be talking about a new deck,â&#x20AC;? the ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Jim Warnes, told the Visit beautiful downtown Athens, GA!

Waste Light, Waste Heat Messin’ Up My Mind

By Jason Perry news@flagpole.com transfers what would have been wasted heat If you remember hearing “energy can back into the system, bringing its efficiency neither be created nor destroyed,” then you already know the first law of thermodynam- up to about 95 percent.

Efficiency as a percentage is very comics. Energy can change forms, but the total mon, but many of the things we interact amount is conserved. The second law tells with daily have unique efficiency expresus that no system is 100 percent efficient: sions. We are all familiar with miles per As energy changes forms, some of it dissigallon, though with the proliferation of pates as low-value heat energy. electric cars, we’re starting to learn about You can think of efficiency as the kilowatt-hours per mile. Lighting effiamount of energy put into a process that ciency is expressed in lumens per watt, or results in some benefit, such as motion, light output per unit of input power.

On the flip side, conditioners have SEER (seasonal energy waste is the energy in the process that is efficiency ratio), expressed in BTU per wattdissipated without doing anything useful. hour, which is the average amount of coolFor example, gasoline is a form of stored ing provided per unit of electrical energy chemical energy. When burned in a car’s used. Heat pumps in heating mode have a engine, some of it is used to power the similar rating called HSPF (heating seasonal drivetrain and move the car. But there is performance factor). enough waste heat from that process that you need a coolant system to dissipate that heat to the surrounding air. When you slow or stop, the energy that went into speeding up is lost as friction that heats the brakes. More than 70 percent of the energy in the gasoline you burned to get from A to B was lost as waste heat.

It is important to know where the envelope is drawn around a system when describing its efficiency.

Electric water heaters are often called 99 percent efficient (the 1 percent is lost through the sides of the tank).

This is only true if you draw the envelope around the water heater itself. If you extend the envelope to include the tank, your Most of the energy produced by a coal-fired power plant is lost through water shower and the pipe vapor and other hot gases. in between, the hot The words “conservation” and “waste” water left in the pipe when you turn off the can be a little confusing. “Conservation of shower slowly loses heat to its surroundenergy” takes us back to the first law of ings. Expand the envelope many miles to thermodynamics, and “waste” is related to the power plants that generate the electricthe second law, but you can also conserve ity, and you’ll find a coal plant is around 30 percent efficient, the best natural gas plants or waste energy in a behavioral sense.

That means that 80 percent of the energy content of the fuel turn off the lights when you leave a room.

There was a time in Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 31-14 win over Vanderbilt in Nashville on Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; somewhere between Lorenzo Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ejection for targeting and the Vanderbilt punterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muffed snap and mad dash for a first downâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that every Georgia fan looked at one another and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not this again.â&#x20AC;?

The Bulldogs lost 31-27 the last time they traveled to Nashville two years ago, a game that featured a similarly questionable targeting ejection on Ray Drew. Just as that loss crushed any hope of an SEC Championship the Bulldogs had, it looked like Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game had the potential to derail this season before it has truly begun.

One thing Georgia does have now that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have two years ago is Nick Chubb, whose 189 rushing yards and 10th consecutive 100-yard game propelled Georgia to the comfortable but unconvincing win.

The rest of the play on special teams and defense was mediocre. Marshall Morgan missed two field goals, while Georgia couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recover an onside kick. The defense intercepted three passes, but it also gave up 231 yards in the fourth quarter. A win is always cause for celebration, but Vanderbilt put the problems with this Georgia team on display.

Luckily for Georgia, the SEC East looks like one heaping pile of garbage. Tennessee allowed Oklahoma to score a schadenfreude-inducing 17 unanswered points and force overtime before the Vols eventually lost 31-24. Florida is still trying to find its feet under new head coach Jim McElwain and only managed to beat East Carolina 31-24. South Carolina lost to Kentucky 26-22 in a game where the Wildcats looked equally poor. If Georgia canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the SEC

Greyson Lambert had a chance to silence any detractors and write his name in permanent ink at the top of the depth chart after a solid performance against LouisianaMonroe, but instead, he played like butt.

The transfer from Virginia didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete any passes in the first half, frequently overor under-throwing his receiver and finishing with just 116 yards passing. As good as Chubb looks, he and Sony Michel can only do so much for the offense without a legitimate passing game.

New offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative play-calling didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help either, as Georgia only converted four of 13 third downs. This ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the NFL, Brian. Have some spine.

Without the offense to propel the scoring, Georgia needed scoring contributions in the other two phases of the game. Isaiah McKenzie provided some scoring from special teams with a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown, while Dominick Sanders returned an interception 88 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The team shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to depend on the big plays to score, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know Georgia has that ability.

East this year, give up hope of Georgia ever winning the SEC East again.

Next up, Georgia comes back to Athens welcome good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hatinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-ass Steve Spurrier and South Carolina. Both offensively and defensively, South Carolina has regressed.

For a few years, Georgia and South Carolina were similarly skilled. Now Georgia is clearly the more talented, better team.

Period. But Georgia will probably never be lucky enough to get past Spurrier with an easy win. The loss to Kentucky will cause the Gamecocks to circle the wagons. Mark Richt and Georgia should be prepared for anything, because Spurrier will reach deep into his bag of tricks to come up with a way to beat Georgia. If Georgia loses, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the East, making it the third consecutive year in which Georgia was the most-talented team in the division, but still couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win it.

Think of this game against South Carolina as the test before the test. If UGA canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat South Carolina, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Alabama two weeks later. So the Bulldogs better be ready. The South Carolina game wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win them the SEC East, but it could very well lose it. f

The Bulld0g Edge

For Athens Businesses, the Name’s the Game Joshua L. Jones

by Cy Brown news@flagpole.com

Joshua L. Jones

Athens, “Bulldog” means business.

That’s not a reference to the University of Georgia football team’s state of mind when it takes to the gridiron each week, but rather the trend of small businesses around Athens naming themselves after the town’s most beloved team. According to YellowPages. com, 58 businesses in the Athens area have “Bulldog,” “Bulldawg,” “Dawg” or some similar variation in their name.

As a consumer in Athens, you can Bulldog-ify your entire life, buying goods and services from a plethora of companies that carry the moniker. You can store your things at Bulldog Storage and Rental. You can buy a UGA shirt from Bulldog Sporting Goods and wash it at Bulldog Laundry.

You can grab a slice from Bulldawg Pizza, a pork sandwich from Dawg Gone Good BBQ or order delivery from many other places in town with Bulldawg Food. You can buy a car at Bulldog Kia, get it washed at Bulldog Car Wash, have it tuned up at Bulldog Automotive and Repair, then catch a ride with Bulldog Limousine while it’s in the shop.

The trend of naming businesses after the mascot of a university happens in many big-time college towns. In Auburn, AL, roughly 60 businesses have “Tiger” in the name. Tuscaloosa, AL is home to nearly 30 businesses that include the word “Tide.” And Knoxville, TN is lousy with establishments—roughly 30, to be more precise—whose name includes the word “Vols.”

Conventional wisdom says that a good business name Jon Mantooth was drawn to buy Bulldog Laundry in part by the name. should grab the consumer’s attention and won’t be conand sorority houses, we’re in the perfect location for it. I fused with a bunch of other establishments. So why are think it helps bring the students. We do tons of the football so many businesses in town called the same thing?

I bought my stuff at Bulldog Sporting Goods,” says Jay Drudge, ownership partner at Bulldog Sporting Goods.

Bulldog Sporting Goods was opened in 1968 by Woody Chastain, a baseball letterman at the university from 1965–1967 and still an ownership partner, and has remained at the same spot in the heart of Baxter Street ever since. Drudge says he thinks Chastain named the business after the Bulldogs because he wanted to tie it to the town, and nothing says Athens like the Georgia Bulldogs. Consumers inherently know they can buy UGA apparel and merchandise at Bulldog Sporting Goods, and it “naturally drives business” their way, Drudge says.

“The whole town here revolves around the University of Georgia and University of Georgia sports. If it’s not football, it’s basketball. If it’s not basketball, it’s baseball going on,” Drudge says.

“We’re involved in all those different activities, so having a name that’s tied to the university helps a When a business has “Bulldog” in the name, you know it’s local, says Mart Saar. great deal.”

Mantooth, a longtime supporter of UGA athletics, says With all that competition, Saar says he’d take any advanthe name and location on Baxter Street help drive traffic tage he can get.

It’s real catchy,” he says. “And being right here can identify as part of the community helps. off Milledge, up from the dorms and near the fraternity

“Everybody would prefer to use local businesses, as opposed to someone from out of town,” Saar says. “We hire local people and put money back into the community, so it’s a win-win for everybody. And most people around here are Bulldog fans, so it has to help the business when they see the name.”

While the Bulldog name might work for many businesses, it isn’t right for all of them. Jared Reeves is the owner of Certified Clean Care, which bought Bulldog Carpet and Upholstery earlier this year. Reeves said he considered letting Bulldog Carpet and Upholstery remain a separate entity, but he ended up bringing it under the Certified Clean Care umbrella. However, Reeves says they still use the brand to help drive business their way. “We’re still in transition mode.

If you call the Bulldog phone number, we answer at Certified Clean Care,” Reeves says. “We’re using the Bulldog name, at this point in time, to maybe capture some other people we wouldn’t normally capture with Certified Clean Care.”

Reeves decided that Bulldog wasn’t right for his business, but he understands why so many owners would tie their companies to the name. “It can have its benefits, no doubt, because you have people like myself who went to the University of Georgia,” he says. “And a lot of the people who work for us attend or have attended the University of Georgia. So it definitely has a benefit as far as people who connect to that school. They want to, in some way, support it.”

Even though it isn’t the name of his business, Reeves believes the importance of having Bulldog in the name is less about driving consumers to establishments owned by Georgia fans and more about driving them to local business in general. “It’s good to support the local businesses and the people who went to Georgia and stayed in the community to help build it up,” he says.

The Bulldog name also gives potential customers an indication of who they won’t be shopping with—which, in some cases, may be just as important to UGA fans. “I don’t know any Auburn fans who have the word ‘Bulldog’ in their business’s name,” Reeves says. f

Gamer Grub The Rook & Pawn is a Good Escape from the Grind

By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com HIDEAWAY: Judging by the level of response (a big one) when Flagpole first broke the news about the opening of The Rook & Pawn (294 W. Washington St., 706-543-5040), Athens’ first board-game café, it doesn’t really matter how good the food is here. People wanted access to their huge library of games, and they didn’t care who thought they were nerds. If, on the other hand, you are not a nerd or are a different kind, whose eyes cross every time you try to understand the “Settlers of Catan” breed of games, you may require a little more convincing.

Hidden away behind Philanthropy, the clothing store next to Ted’s Most Best, The Rook & Pawn has a few parking spaces in the adjacent surface lot and a lunch special that allows you to play games for free if you’re eating on a weekday, plus get a hand stamp allowing you to return and play as much as you like for the rest of the day. The usual charge is $5 for the day.

The staff is eager to educate but hangs back until attention is requested. They’re happy to advise on games and instruct the slow-on-the-uptake (i.e., yours truly) in the finer points of how to play something involving cards, tokens and a lot of strategy. Order food and drink at the bar by the entrance, select your game, and head down the long, narrow space decorated with doors on the walls and with individual dimmer-equipped lights over each table.

The menu is heavily focused on things that are easy to eat with one hand or nibble at over a long period of time, with lots of bowls of stuff (olives, nuts, candy, Phickles pickles, ice cream), a cute three-tiered selection of tea sandwiches and sweets, cheese plates, hummus and the like. Nothing requires much in the way of utensils; salads are about as complicated as it gets. Donderos’ Kitchen supplies the baked goods, including big, flat cookies that can be served a la mode for an upcharge and a dense, savory muffin consisting mostly of eggs and vegetables, plus meat, in some instances.

Sandwiches are panini-style, mostly pressed and grilled, prepared with restraint. Often, when dates are involved, a dish can rapidly become too sticky and sweet, but the sandwich that combines bacon, finely chopped dates and goat cheese on a roll is well balanced, not too strong in any one direction. The Monte Cristo may leave you with powdered sugar marks on your pants. It’s grilled rather than fried but possibly better for it, with the requisite jam (from Piedmont

Sandwich specials are written on the chalkboard behind the bar, and there are smoothies and sodas as well as grown-up drinks. The lack of windows and the absorbing nature of the games, plus the solid sustenance, makes The Rook & Pawn a good escape from the daily grind.

Salvaging Athens A Q&A with Oneta Woodworks’ Zack Brendel

By Josh Brown josh@thebroadcollective.com

D

id you know that some of the best woodworkers in the South are right here in Athens? Oneta Woodworks’ clients include well-known Atlanta restaurants Farm Burger and Empire State South, as well as Terrapin, Creature Comforts, Jittery Joe’s, Condor Chocolates and Trappeze in Athens. They were even selected as the woodworkers for a top-secret project to salvage the poisoned trees from the Auburn, AL landmark Toomer’s Corner. Owner Zack Brendel recently agreed to an interview in the non-air-conditioned workshop Oneta shares with the metalworking business St. Udio.

Joshua L. Jones

The Broad Collective: You have one of the longest running woodworker businesses in town. How did you get started?

Zack Brendel: Even though we are an eight-year-old company, I always think of us as a new-ish startup. There are guys who have been running successful woodworking companies in town for over 30 years. I started this company out of frustration. I was working for a traditional homebuilder after I graduated from UGA, and did not like inefficient design and perfectly good material being tossed into dumpsters because it was cheaper than saving. I wanted to figure out a way to reduce the cost of saving extra material. This naturally lead to hoarding both new and reclaimed materials. Anyone who has been to our wood yard knows we like to save wood. The financial challenge is to design a project—from a table to entire restaurant—that efficiently uses what we have on hand and keeps everyone involved happy.

every job possible, whether it is a designer, metal worker, plumber, electrician, architect or other carpenters. The talent in this town is exceptionally high for a town of this size in Georgia. Another thing that has changed is that there are other companies that fabricate with reclaimed wood. It is great to see the demand rising, and to see that people are valuing the practice of salvaging materials.

workers who make it all happen. We finally have the right space and the right tools. Also, at the end of last year, a very talented craftsman who has run his own business for 35 years mentioned to me he was going to retire, and I somehow convinced him to come work with my crew in semi-retirement. His role is to teach our crew as much as he can. He is enjoying seeing a new generation excited to further our skills, and it is great to have an authority [on]

woodworking in the shop. He has made our shop more efficient and faster, so that frees up some time.

JB: Tell us a little bit about the mill that you own and how that plays into what you’re doing.

ZB: The mill is a separate business that was created out of a need to have some serious space to store all the wood we have and will have. When we deconstruct a building, like we did recently with the former Jittery Joe’s Roaster, we need a place to stage the process of de-nailing, milling into usable material and storing the wood. Our mill is nearly 15 acres up on North Avenue, and having the space allows us to save all wood, doors, windows, posts, tin, brick and just about anything that might have a potential reuse. In addition to our bandsaw, we recently added an Alaskan chainsaw mill, which allows us to cut trees up to 6 feet wide, which has added a really exciting new direction to our furniture. We are not a traditional mill that processes new lumber. We only mill reclaimed wood or trees that were taken down in a client’s yard or somewhere special. In fact, we recently had a really cool project where we went down to Auburn University and salvaged the Toomer’s Corner oak trees that were poisoned by an Alabama fan.

We have been turning that wood into furniture for Auburn, which has been awesome.

BC: Why Athens? Why live here?

Why build and grow your business here instead of someone else?

ZB: When I moved to Athens in 1999 for school, I immediately knew this was the town for me. It never occurred to me to leave or start a business anywhere else. The quality of life, the people, the food, the music and the town’s collective attitude make it the perfect place for my wife and I to raise our family and grow a business. f A longer version of this interview originally appeared at thebroadcollective.com, an Athens-based website that publishes stories about local food, culture, arts and crafts.

What started as an “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” mentality (at least for me) turned into a genuine love for the game and our team. I soon found others willing to emerge from their self-imposed shadows and come out as full-blown, crazy-ass Georgia football fans.

For this photo feature, I gathered a few artists, musicians, publicists, bloggers and other full-time Athens (all members of the Athens Townie Dawg Blawg Facebook group), and embarked on a kick-ass game day celebration. Go Athens, and go Dawgs!

1. Stan Mullins’ art studio (650 Pulaski St.)

In addition to being an amazing artist and football fan, Stan has created a backyard akin to a Southern gothic paradise blended with an idyllic Tuscan landscape. Here, we meet up to toast with our fabulous Creature Comforts beers and pay homage to the Herschel Walker statue Stan has lovingly sculpted, while monitoring games from around the conference on our phones.

3. Wilson’s Barber Shop (343 N. Hull St.)

These guys know more about Georgia football than anybody. Really. They always have the game on, and are happy to offer insights into the season, in spite of the fact that they do brisk business on game days. Go get a beard trim and hear what’s what from some very well-informed local football fans.

4. Flicker Theater and Bar (263 W. Washington St.)

Home of our official drink for townie football fans: the Blenheim’s ginger ale and Jameson slushie. Flicker is a great place to unwind and people-watch on the patio as the game winds down and the crowds flood the streets. f

A great place to watch the game on the big screen, and home of the mezcal challenge.

TWF gets busy before and after the game, but is a great haven for townie fans who want to watch the action on the big screen. Goals are set for stats (how many yards will Nick Chubb rush for?) and mezcal shots are shared when said goals are met. Everybody wins? We think so.

Cultural Scandals, Photograms and More Lamar Dodd Opens Four New Exhibitions for Fall

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com The galleries at UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lamar Dodd School of Art will unveil four new exhibitions this week, pulling in the works of artists from across the country. An opening reception will be held Friday, Sept. 18 from 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8 p.m., featuring music spun by DJ Yung Yang, portraits by Michael Lachowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foto Pixx, tacos from the Streets Cafe food truck and popsicles from Hip Pops.

SLAGFIELDS: Taking its name from the landscapes formed by steel companies depositing impurities skimmed from molten steel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slagfieldsâ&#x20AC;? serves as a dumping ground for Dodd Printmaking and Book Arts MFA candidate Ry McCullough and Findlay, OH artist Ian Breidenbach. Ranging from

ROLE MODELS: Both Monica Lewinsky and Brandi Chastain became the stars of scandals in 1999: Lewinsky for her relationship with President Bill Clinton, and Chastain for removing her jersey after scoring the winning penalty kick in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup. In their joint exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Role Models,â&#x20AC;?

Dodd MFA candidate in photography Miranda Maynard and Chicago-based artist Phaedra Call materialize their adolescent fixations with Lewinsky and Chastain, respectively, with an installation of objects based on previous photo and video work.

A pile of pink carnation bouquets beneath shadow boxes preserving a blue dress and a black sports braâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;articles of clothing overemphasized through mass media coverage at the timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;represents an altar-esque memorial, honoring the two women who Ry McCullough were under the magnifying glass amidst a photographs, sculpture, zines, prints, collage works, text, complicated national dialogue concerning gender perforsound and video, the exhibition melts together portions of mance and female sexuality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Clinton-Lewinsky scandal broke when I was in mid- each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued narrative works.

Whereas Breidenbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works follow the journey of petdle school, and I think for a lot of kids like me it was this really, really bizarre thing where we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even known that rified woodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from initial unearthing, to illegal gathering or lawful purchase, to gathering dust in a collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mcsex existed for all that long, and then all of a sudden sex Culloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s document the creation of a myth told through was on the news,â&#x20AC;? says Maynard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In one way, it was parreclaimed materials and appropriated images removed from ticularly surreal, because the whole country started acting their original context. like middle schoolers, obsessing over othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sex acts (how â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that geological phenomenon, Situationist far did they go?), obsessing over bodily fluids (the stained International texts and oral folk traditions are structures blue dress), obsessing over what does and does not count that have compelling relationships with landscape, time as sex and, of course, judging the shit out of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both and ownership,â&#x20AC;? says McCullough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depending on how you Monica and Hillary were derided constantly.â&#x20AC;? unpack each of those influential components, one could Located in the Bridge Gallery, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Role Modelsâ&#x20AC;? will remain discover that they all contain elements of storytelling, evion view through Thursday, Oct. 8.

McCullough will offer a lunchtime gallery talk on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 12 p.m., and the exhibition will remain on view in the Plaza & Suite Galleries through Thursday, Oct. 8.

STEP TWICE: Through an experimental darkroom process of creating photograms, L.A. artist Farrah Karapetian stages reenactments of human experiences or memories using sculptures, which serve as intervening â&#x20AC;&#x153;negativesâ&#x20AC;? between photosensitive paper and a light source. To address issues of migration and water in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Step Twice,â&#x20AC;? Karapetian welded a large steel sculpture based on a diagram used to build fishing boats, then asked students to pretend they were migrants traveling across the sea between Syria and Greece in order to create a five-panel photogram using the sculpture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My effort, though, is not to remain trapped in some literal parallel between my process in the dark with students and a distantly framed photograph of migrants; that would be a false premise for an artwork. It would presume that I know exactly what it is I want to represent, and it would entail trying to force a parallel on the students that they simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to achieve in that immediate moment,â&#x20AC;? says Karapetian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I do want to represent is the struggle to be human, and part of that struggle is trying to understand our own and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences. I want to take all of these associations and process them through physical action in the dark, where other senses fall away.â&#x20AC;?

Karapetianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition will remain on view in Gallery 101 through Friday, Nov. 6.

THE FIGURE 8: The works of New York artist Elizabeth Jaeger, Birmingham, AL artist Amy Pleasant and L.A. artist J. Parker Valentine explore the ambiguous relationship between the figurative body and abstract nature of form and color. Jaeger contributes a series of handmade, ombre-dyed ambulance stretchers, as well as a pink leather bean bag drooping against a museum bench, establishing a mood influenced by minimalism and mourning. The clay sculptures and mixed-media scenes by Pleasant provide silhouettes of faces, suggesting ambiguous interactions between figures. Two works by Valentine resemble stretched hides, employing an elaborate process involving a single manipulated negative, natural sunlight and UV-developed dye on silk.

The artists will give a gallery talk on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 6:30 p.m., and curator Katie Geha will lead a tour on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. The exhibition will remain on view in Gallery 307 through Friday, Nov. 6. f

By Gabrielle Lucille Fuentes poetlandia@flagpole.com Though this column is titled Poetlandia, the term should be interpreted in the broadest sense. All literary genres are welcome, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poetlandiaâ&#x20AC;? sounds better than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poet-and-fiction-and-playwright-andhip-hop-landia.â&#x20AC;? It is easier to slip a poem or two into a column, but going forward, I plan on slicing and dicing and pushing and shoving other genres into the mix.

Like many young writers, Matthew Nye has lived all overâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Midwest, New England, Utah and now Georgia. Being in Athens has given him â&#x20AC;&#x153;access to another local history, for one, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also put all the other places Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived in sharper contrast,â&#x20AC;? he says. He hopes that this â&#x20AC;&#x153;consciousness bleeds into my writing in terms of being more able to particularize place, character and broader voice with a greater understanding.â&#x20AC;?

A native of Indiana, Nye loves the camaraderie and time to write that living in Athens and attending UGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English and creative writing PhD program have given him. But even after four years, he still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite get used to the heat and humidity. So you can find him keeping cool and reading in the library stacks, or in the State Botanical Gardens on gentler days. Nyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first novel, Pike and Bloom, was awarded the 2014 Madeleine P. Plonsker Prize and will be published in early 2016.

Nyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to contrast and particularize place is visible in this excerpt from the short story â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruised in a Manner of Feeling,â&#x20AC;? recently published in The Chicago Review, about the steelworkers of Gary, IN. Situated in one of the most beautiful places, Gary is, and I mean no offense, one of the ugliest cities. It lurks in its own particular chemical haze, a haunting reminder of environmental destruction. Yet in this excerpt, Nye treats the workers of this tough and gritty city with a particular lyrical tenderness, turning their work into a sort of sci-fi, Shakespearian landscape of mixing cultures and metals, a rich world in a once-rich city.

vesselmen wear sick hyphenated names, Selby-Bigge or Ariew-Garber. They grow pocked skin and terrier mustachesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;pour out a heat of steel without euphemism or complaining calls, or thinking about the sloughs, the bosh, their boisterous uncouth bodiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;how love in the bronze age must have been different than it is now with steel.

The superintendent prefers the Irish and the Scots. Germans and Slovaksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the odd Manx from the Isle of Man. New Hungarians and Poles arriveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Vistula and Danubeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and all the while the

superintendent avers insistently that they are all good workers. That only slightly less grand is the Grand Calumet, and Hungarians and Poles aside, US Steel is fully American even though the river must move.

They are calling Gary the Magic City, created as if out of nothing, and with little flowering gardens. All the homes have garden plots, and all the workers gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; compete for a small cash prize at the end of the year for best soy, best corn, and best tomato. The soil was sandy and unfit, but soil too can be imported, just like the workers, just like the coke, the oreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Elbert H. Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little transplanted eden and little fuck you to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

If the tuyeres through which air is injected into the furnace melt down to a point where the molten metal threatens to

flow into the air cavity, the first and second helpers mend the nozzle by covering and stoppering it with clay. The vesselmen continually wrestle with the destructive capacities of the molten metal, continually lose, and the whole furnace must be shut down if the air cavity fills. In order to fix it, taking a damn long time to cool off first.

The veteran vesselmen play a game with the new workers, telling them that they must touch a flaming hot ingot of steel with their bare hands. They tell the new workers that they have all already done this and nodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to the ones who are praying and crying, that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pray here. The stripper is a large rectangular press used to create the raw ingots, which are then sent to the cooling pits to cool for a while.

Radical Education Bombs Away Books Opens Downtown

By Gabe Vodicka and Gordon Lamb music@flagpole.com and our collective is growing with more volunteers. We have weekly collective meetings, and anyone is welcome to come in and become part of this. The hours are on our Facebook [page]. Bombs Away! is volunteerbased, and we make no personal profit. We pay rent through the shows we book, the books we sell, donations we are given and the events we hold at the space.

the significance of Bombs Away opening amidst all that?

JT: With issues such as gentrification, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be aware of what presence you have in whatever city you are doing any kind of business in, even if it is a collectively-run radical bookstore and DIY venue. We aim to work in the community and offer ideas and resources that can arm peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds with tools that can help combat the bleak realities of this world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that every city has radical spaces, and that they serve as a small example of what we could do in a world without capitalism.

Athens is known for its bar scene, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine. However, there needs to be a space that is open to any individual [who wants] to channel their creativity, organize with others and learn new ideas. We want

creativity can brew, bring independent authors to Athens, be used as a meeting space for organizations and offer radical, independent literature that you [canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t] find at your typical bookstoreâ&#x20AC;Ś We want to eventually have a free school and our own small publishing collective, too.

people to come in and just hang out with us, whether it be at shows or during store hours. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal that we connect with one another and demonstrate alternative methods to everyday life. We are all workers and students. This is [a] space we can truly call our own. f

An

ambitious effort in the form of a radical bookstore has launched at 295 1/2 E. Broad St. The shop is called Bombs Away Books (stylized as Bombs Away!), and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s started off with a bang by hosting a series of all-ages, alcohol-free punk shows.

Bombs Away, which is managed and operated collectively by its employees, is designed as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe place for local residents and students to learn, listen and unwind.â&#x20AC;? In addition to books and music, organizers have plans to â&#x20AC;&#x153;offer a free school, which includes courses in Spanish, medical care and overdose awareness, software skills, writing, public safety and more.â&#x20AC;?

Flagpole caught up with Bombs Awayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joseph Turner to find out more.

FP: What are the guiding principles behind the space?

JT: We are worker-owned, DIY and volunteer-based on anarchist principles. What I mean by anarchist principles [is] rejecting all hierarchy, capitalismâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the best we can while existing in a capitalist systemâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; sexism, racism, white supremacy, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, speciesism and any form of discrimination or fascism. We support equality, autonomy, mutual aid and the idea of liberation for every living being. We want to offer a space where new ideas can grow and the community can call it their ownâ&#x20AC;Ś [We want to help] unify and build the music scene in Athens, bring through awesome bands from different genres from all over the world, offer an all-ages space where

Flagpole: Where did the idea for Bombs Away come from? Who are the principal folks involved?

Joseph Turner: Bombs Away!

Books started because we [had] been wishing for an all-ages DIY space in Athens. Two of us play in a band called Under a Sky So Blue, and we have played in so many cool cities with awesome DIY spaces. I always wished we had something like that in Athens.

As far as the bookstore side of it, Nick Wilson and Joseph Turner ever since learning about anarchism, We [looked at] several different spots for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been enough to just sit when we were looking for a place to run the around and read about things. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always bookstore, but one spot in particular stood been a question of, what more can I do, and how can I find like-minded people so we can out, not only due to the perfect location but organize and find ways to change the world, how down-to-earth the landlord was. [He] actually runs his real estate office and other or at least our city? We plan to work with small businesses out of the back office of many Athens-based groups. the store. He helps with our events, and has Currently, Bombs Away! is a collective been extremely supportive from the beginmade up of myself, my fiancĂŠe Brittany ning. We got very lucky with that.

Swervedriver Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Slow Down

By Andy Barton music@flagpole.com

M

ore than 20 years have passed since the UK shoegaze boom, but the genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forebears have resurfaced in recent years. While My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride crafted a dream-pop blueprint, one influential band skirted the edge of the genre, looking to the desolate highways and gritty sounds of the American underground for inspiration.

From the beginning, Swervedriver seemed to inhabit a musical realm distinct from its contemporaries. While Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distorted guitars tested the limits of volume and space, they also displayed a deep admiration for rock and roll in its classic forms (think Chuck Berry or the Stooges). While Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher juxtaposed

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actual recording was done really quickly.â&#x20AC;?

Split between Birdland Studios in Melbourne and Konk Studios in London, I Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Born to Lose You is the product of a band confident in its new material. Despite the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of shake-upsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;among them the departure of early drummer Graham Bonnar, who famously walked off to get a sandwich during the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first North American tour and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return, and a series of label misfortunes (three moves in two years)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the record showcases a band comfortable with its place in rock history.

Album opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autodidactâ&#x20AC;? exhibits the same sense of yearning Franklin displayed on Raise, but this time around, the overall tone is one of ease; instead of longing for an

escape, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content to daydream about the future while making strides to alter course.

The group is set to play the 40 Watt on Sept. 16; fans can expect to hear the gamut of Swervedriver sounds. Since the initial leg of North American touring earlier this spring, Franklin says, the band has played every song off the new album, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;some deeper cuts.â&#x20AC;?

Despite all the adversity faced throughout a 20-plus-year career, Swervedriver still manages to drive forward, pulling in fans with the new album who are less familiar with their older material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one of the things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed over the past two years,â&#x20AC;? says Franklin.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising, considering that Swervedriverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career path has been as distinct as its hard-rocking approach to shoegaze. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a legacy of determination, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by that virtue Franklin and company can return after so many years and craft an album as compelling and as relevant as their best-known works. f

cryptic coos and romantic dreamscapes with dense, layered guitars, Swervedriverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music paired roaring riffs and driving rhythms with the discernible desire to flee oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troubles on the open road.

With I Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Born to Lose You, Swervedriverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first album in more than 15 years, the band finds itself in a comfort zone not far removed from its roots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea of going back to the source,â&#x20AC;? says Franklin, noting that even the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo on the new albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cover is virtually the same as on the cover of its debut.

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest batch of songs, which sound fresh while holding true to the Swervedriver styles of old, began forming in Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind as early as 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Deep Woundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was a demo I had knocking around,â&#x20AC;? says Franklin of the new albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth track, which the band debuted on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Night with Jimmy Fallonâ&#x20AC;? in 2012 ahead of a short North American tour. Soon after, the band released the tune as a 7-inch single before hitting the road in Australia to play its first album, Raise, in its entirety, as well as an assortment of other songs. With new songs coming in â&#x20AC;&#x153;twos and threes,â&#x20AC;? it was evident that a full-length was in store. During a day off from the Raise tour in 2013, the band knocked out five of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 tracks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was sort of falling back into their roles [in the studio],â&#x20AC;? Franklin says.

STONE ALONE: Tedo Stone will celebrate the release of his newest album Saturday, Sept. 19 at the 40 Watt Club. Also on the bill are Athens’ Grand Vapids and Deep State, as well as New Paltz, NY group Diet Cig. Stone’s Marshes has already received a dizzying amount of positive press, and for once I agree with most of what everyone is saying. Individual experiences will vary, of course, but I ignored descriptions of what the music was supposed to sound like and wound up enjoying it very much once I found out for myself. For more info, see facebook.com/ tedostone and tedostone.com.

CAN’T GET YOU OUTTA MY HEAD: The good-luck guys in Athens noise-rock trio The Powder Room are hitting a double this month. It’s been announced that Learning Curve Records, out of Minneapolis, will release the band’s next full-length LP. The group will record that album, the follow-up to debut Curtains, with Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk), and the plan is to have it hit the streets in early 2016. In other news, the group scored a coup of an opening slot, and fans can expect to have their ears blasted when they take the stage in front of shoegaze-y volume-rockers Swervedriver at the 40 Watt Club on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Take a big bite outta learningcurverecords.com, thepowderroom.bandcamp.com and facebook.com/powderroomga.

LIFE IS A TIME MACHINE: Songwriter Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses, 50 Foot Wave) will play the 40 Watt on Thursday, Oct. 1 as part of a tour promoting her new book, Don’t Suck, Don’t Die: Giving Up Vic Chesnutt. The book is a memoir of Hersh’s time spent touring, playing and in friendship with the late Chesnutt. She’ll be playing and doing a signing on Oct. 1, but there’s no indication that she’ll be reading from the book. Chesnutt passed away on Christmas 2009 after overdosing on muscle relaxants.

Tickets for Hersh’s performance are $15 via 40watt.com.

FOUR ON THE FLOOR: Local power-pop quartet The Arcs (not to be confused with the new Dan Auerbach project of the same name) released a two-track single a couple of weeks back, the first noise we’ve heard from them in more than six years. Ben Spraker, Kevin Lane, Dave Gerow and Brandon Reynolds are all longtime Athens rock veterans, and though they’ve got no shows scheduled, they certainly put some time into this record. Although the recording process was rather mobile—taking place at three houses and two apartments with a computer and a collection of begged-and-borrowed microphones—it fell under the umbrella of Express Lane Studio, which, as you might gather, is the name for Lane’s engineering outfit.

R.I.P.: Though we reported this on our website over a week and a half ago, early Labor Day deadlines prevented us from being able to mention it in last week’s print edition.

Tragically, local musician and 40 Watt Club co-founder Paul Scales died of a heart attack on Friday, Sept. 4.

record review Dream Culture: Post Habitual (MOEKE) Following in the footsteps of flower-power devotees like Dungen, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and the prog gods who inspired those bands (one senses ghostly trails of Todd Rundgren, Yes and King Crimson throughout), Dream Culture’s Post Habitual is a capable, occasionally riveting release.

Dream Culture has fixed some of the uneven aspects of its selftitled debut EP, where listless synth-pop clashed with wah-heavy guitar workouts. The heart of Post Habitual lies in its two middle tracks, “Every Day” and “Every Other Day,” where the band fuses disco-funk rhythms with warbling keyboard and a sassy vocal melody.

Instrumentals “If” and “Thursday” round out the EP and showcase the group’s playful collaborative energy. Given its sonic similarity to widely publicized recent efforts from groups like Tame Impala, Post Habitual sometimes feels a little too on-the-nose. Still, Dream Culture has settled into a singular groove—one with plenty of room to build upon from here. [Gabe Vodicka] Dream Culture plays the Caledonia Lounge on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

THE VISIT (PG-13) M. Night Shyamalan is far enough from his ignominious run of The Village, Lady in the Water and The Happening for the current crop of young horror fans to go into the delightfully creepy Visit without baggage. Me, I still awaited the twist, better termed a reveal, which Shyamalan telegraphed obviously enough I named it in under 30 minutes. Still, The Visit is the Sixth Sense directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best film since Devil, if we can give him credit for the latter. (He provided the story and produced John Erick Dowdleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underrated horror-in-an-elevator flick.)

If Shyamalan had released The Visit as his follow-up to The Sixth Sense rather than Unbreakable (his ahead-of-its-time metatake on superheroes is still my favorite of his films), he would have also been in on the ground floor of the found footage movement. Instead, The Visit wonderfully blends horror and laughter. Think of it as an updated version of Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live-action horror classics, The Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked This Way Comes, in a found-footage package that feels delivered over a decade too late.

Becca (Kirsten Dunst lookalike Olivia DeJonge), a budding filmmaker who acts as somewhat of a proxy for young M. Night, and her rapping brother Tyler, aka T-Diamond Stylus (Ed Oxenbould, who has some great comic timing), go to stay with their grandparents, whom they have never met, for a week while their single mom

Shemekia Copeland

The Foundry · 8 p.m. · $18 (adv.), $23 (door) The daughter of blues guitar legend Johnny Copeland, singer Shemekia Copeland has carved out a singular style that merges the blues and soul she grew up on with twangy, dirtroad Americana. Her latest, the acclaimed Outskirts of Love, is a journey through Copeland’s musical development, from all-out blues burn (her dad’s “Devil’s Hand”) to sultry soul (“I Feel a Sin Coming On”) to Stones-y swagger (the opening title track). Her cover of CCR’s “Long as I Can See the Light” brings the album’s far-flung sounds together; Copeland’s deeply felt, gospel-tinged take on the classic rocker could rightly be dubbed a new definitive version.

Tatsuya Nakatani

ATHICA · 8 p.m.

Improv percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani favors the visceral over the melodic. His Nakatani Gong Orchestra draws on the physical power of the gong, using the instrument’s resonant, hypnotic qualities to to create a dense texture of sonic intensity and entrance listeners based on feeling alone. His solo work uses a similarly physical approach; he employs cymbals, singing bowls, bells, drums and various metal objects. Nakatani’s Athens performance will feature help from local improv maestros Killick Hinds, a versatile guitarist, and Alec Livaditis, a cellist who favors the instrument’s potential for abstract sounds. Nakatani’s master of texture and timbre is a must see for any fan of non-traditional music. [Paul DeMerritt]

exercises and how little food she needs to eat—and I worry about having female kids for her to influence. I almost want to move to a different town before we start a family. Any advice on dealing with this woman?

No Thanks, Grandma!

You’re not going to be able to teach her to love herself or to love body diversity.

She’s too old to disavow beauty standards and learn body positivity. What you can do for yourself, No Thanks, is be curvy and confident in spite of her negative influence.

I think that she’s bothered by your nerve to love yourself in spite of your extra weight, and that’s why she’s always talking fitness with you.

Continue to love yourself, but not as a way to get on her nerves. Do it because the second you start trying to keep up or compete with her, you’ll be tempted to starve

women are able to have orgasms through vaginal stimulation alone, and the clitoris is the only body part that exists only to give a person pleasure. It has no other function besides providing a good feeling.

My ex only admitted his insecurities years after we broke up, so don’t think that your man is gonna confess right now. I’m positive that’s the issue, though. Explain to him that if he is truly invested in your sexual satisfaction, bringing a toy into bed should not be a problem. The toy only enhances what he’s doing; it’s like the pink sauce at Cali N Tito’s. And it’s not like you wanna dump him for your toy. Obviously, you wanna have the best sex you can with the person you’re dating, and that’s all the toy is helping you to do. Tell him that. f Need advice?
