Race and Politics on the School Board

Hallelujah! The first leg of Firefly Trail, between downtown and Dudley Park, opens Friday, Oct. 20. A dedication ceremony will be held at 3:30 p.m. at the trailhead on East Broad Street next to Weaver D’s. Bring a bike and a helmet if you want to take part in the inaugural ride.

PLUS, ALDI ON THE EASTSIDE AND MORE LOCAL NEWS By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com The Clarke County School District has a massive imbalance in how successfully it educates white and black children, but even as Superintendent Demond Means is highlighting the stunning gap, school board members and members of the public are mired in an inside-baseball political dispute with racial overtones of its own. At last week’s Clarke County Board of Education meeting, Means again addressed a recent report that black students are disproportionately disciplined, and are three times less likely to be proficient in math or language than white students. The gap is even wider at some individual schools. “When I saw the data,” Means said, and paused, collecting himself, “the data forces you to cry. It’s that bad.” The only way to solve the problem, Means said, is with a renewed sense of urgency and unity—which was not on display Oct. 12. While Means only obliquely referred to Phil Lanoue—“It’s not going to collectively help us move forward if we keep bringing up the past,” he said—his name continues to come up. One wonDemond Means ders just what, exactly, our supposedly data-driven former national superintendent of the year was doing, other than jetting around the country attending conferences, giving interviews to national publications and applying for better jobs. In any case, Lanoue is gone, Means is here, and he’s the one who’s going to have to deal with this gaping divide. “I believe that a child of color in Clarke County can do the same work as a child in Oconee County who may be white,” he said. “I believe that in my soul.” Oconee County has the highest test scores in the state, but its demographics lend themselves to high achievement.

CORRECTION: Last week’s column incorrectly stated the number of African-American students at Barrow Elementary School who were suspended last year. Twenty students were suspended for a total of 53 days.

The challenge in more diverse Clarke County is how to educate all children—including those who are homeless, those who come to school hungry, those who have problems at home, those whose parents are themselves not well educated—at the same level as upper-middle-class children with highly engaged parents. Meanwhile, though, the board and much of the public are caught up in a political squabble over whether board President Charles Worthy should be allowed to continue in that role, or whether board members should rotate into leadership positions. The optics are bad—Worthy is one of the highestranking black elected officials in any branch of local government—and African Americans have accused board members of instituting a new policy as a back-channel way of removing him from power. “You seem to have a problem with two African Americans in leadership positions,” UGA history professor John Morrow told the board. “That’s the way it looks.” Board members who supported the policy—including Ovita Thornton, who is black—called such accusations hurtful. “It was never intended to be a personal change,” Vice President Sarah Ellis said at Thursday’s meeting. “This is very painful for me. It’s so far from anything that was ever intended. “It wasn’t intended to be a policy about a person,” she continued, noting that she is affected by the policy along with Worthy. “It was intended to be a policy of leadership rotation.” The policy, approved in August, bars school board members from serving consecutive terms as president or vice president. It was part of a slew of board governance reforms recommended by a consultant brought in by interim superintendent Jack Parrish. And more are coming, Ellis said—Means brought his own policies from the Mequon-Thiensville district in Wisconsin, and they are “dramatically” different from Clarke’s. “It worked very well for them, and they were very successful,” Ellis said. Those policies will be discussed at an upcoming board retreat, then by the policy committee and the full board.

The Georgia Power office on Prince Avenue—along with every other customer service office statewide—closed Oct. 12 because only 10 percent of customers now pay their bills in person, according to company spokeswoman Ashley West. Customers can pay their bills online at georgiapower.com, by mail, by calling 1-800-672-2402, by texting “gppay” to 99123 or in person at Kroger, Publix, Walmart, RiteAid, Ingles and Regions Bank. Georgia Power has not decided what to do with the building itself, West said. Discount grocery store Aldi is moving into a vacant 22,000 square-foot commercial storefront on Gaines School Road that was most recently home to Omni Club and, before that, Food Lion. Work is expected to start within the next couple of months. The ACC T-SPLOST Advisory Committee officially launched its promotional campaign last week for a 1 percent sales tax to fund $110 million worth of road repavings, trails, transit, bike lanes, sidewalks and other infrastructure. Check out the website, tsplostathens.com, for more information. [BA]

Ellis proposed an amendment to the succession policy pushing back implementation until after the election of officers in 2018, allowing Worthy to potentially serve a seventh two-year term as president. After much confusion, this satisfied Linda Davis, the policy’s most vocal opponent on the board. The lone “no” vote came from Greg Davis, who said he did not want to revisit the policy at all. But it did not satisfy all of the policy’s critics. “I don’t like that limit, and I also still believe that everybody through all of this already had an opportunity to run” for board president, said Tommie Farmer, a member of the local NAACP chapter, which has condemned the policy. And so the issue of who chairs the meeting and for how long will most likely continue to distract from the true work of closing the student achievement gap. “I feel bad about that data, but I feel worse that more people called me about [the term-limit policy] than that data,” Thornton said. “Somewhere along the line, we’re going to have to build some trust amongst ourselves,” she said. f

The Real Reason Coal Is Dying OTHER POWER-GENERATING FUELS ARE CHEAPER AND CLEANER By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com Donald Trump promised that he would single-handedly halt the decline of the nation’s coal industry and bring back lost jobs for coal miners by nullifying the environmental restrictions on coal that were proposed during Barack Obama’s administration. The most visible sign of the president’s intentions was a news conference held last week in Hazard, KY, in the heart of the nation’s coal mining region. The head of the Environmental Protection Agency announced that the department was rejecting Obama’s Clean Power Plan that would have required utilities to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted through the burning of coal by their power plants. “The war on coal is over,” said EPA Director Scott Pruitt, a global warming denier. But the coal industry is still in a steep decline, with job numbers sinking to alltime lows. Even supporters of coal acknowledge that those old mining jobs probably aren’t coming back anytime soon. Where the coal industry employed about 250,000 people in the 1970s, the number of coal jobs today is estimated at less than 70,000. By contrast, the retail chain Costco employs 143,000 people, more than twice the number who work in coal mines—and Costco employees don’t have to worry about getting black lung disease. Some of the president’s top policy people agree that the use of coal is winding down. “Coal doesn’t even make that much sense anymore,” Gary Cohn, Trump’s chief economic adviser, told reporters recently. Cohn was referring to the factor that more than anything else has killed coal: the low price of natural gas made possible by the widespread practice of fracking. Natural gas is a little cleaner and cheaper to burn than coal, so electric utilities have increasingly been choosing gas over coal.

At one time, the state’s largest utility, Georgia Power, generated about 70 percent of its electricity from coal-fired power plants. Today, the portion of power generation from coal is about 30 percent. Over the last seven years, Georgia Power has shut down 15 of its coal-fired generation facilities: five units at Plant Yates, four units at Plant Branch, three units at Plant Kraft, two units at Plant McDonough and one unit at Plant Mitchell. Additionally, Georgia Power has converted two coal-fired power generation units at Plant Yates from coal to natural gas. When I asked a company spokesman if Georgia Power planned to reopen any of those de-commissioned facilities now that the Trump Administration has declared the “war on coal” is over, this was his terse answer: “No.” Georgia Power is just one of many utilities making this decision. Since 2010, nearly half of the country’s 523 coalfired plants have been closed or are being phased out. This is happening even in West Virginia, one of the nation’s biggest coalproducing states. West Virginia’s leading utility, Appalachian Power, has closed three coal-fired plants in recent years and converted two others to gas. Other factors in the declining use of coal are the increasing deployment of solar- and wind-powered generation facilities. As the price of alternative energy continues to come down, it is expected to eat into coal’s share even more. That would mean even fewer jobs for coal miners. The real killer of the coal industry hasn’t been onerous federal regulations; it has been free market forces. Utilities know there are cheaper sources of power than coal, and they are choosing those cheaper sources, regardless of what the president might say. f

two sites connected to the white-nationalist alt-right movement. The fact that they don’t use the same language as the Daily Stormer is what makes Breitbart effective as a “bridge” that, in Hylton’s words, “functioned as a legitimizing tether for the most abhorrent currents of the right wing.” Now that we know that Yiannopoulos actually sent “his” Breitbart stories (which were actually often not written by him) to Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer, who works at the Daily Stormer, the bridge phenomenon comes off a bit differently. Trump himself has often acted as a similar kind of bridge. Although he first endorsed Luther Strange to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ old Senate seat in an Alabama special election, Trump has now come around to fully supporting Roy Moore, the theocratic former Alabama judge twice removed from office for failing to recognize the rulings of a higher court.

Celebrating 10 Years!

In his tax speech in Pennsylvania last week, President Trump gave a shout out to “The great Jeffrey Lord.” He went on to explain that Lord “was on fake-news CNN for a long time. He was one of my few sources of truth.” CNN severed ties with Lord after he tweeted “sieg heil,” a Nazi salutation. Trump’s flirtation with racism is nothing new. It extends back through the campaign and into many facets of the presidency. He called the white supremacists in Charlottesville “very fine people” and has repeatedly refused to condemn hate groups. But the precise mechanisms by which the administration and ally media outlets like Breitbart act as bridges to normalize hate groups is becoming increasingly clear. Last week, Buzzfeed’s massive story on right-wing provocateurs showed that Milo Yiannopoulos sent at least one major Breitbart story to a number of white supremacists to vet and edit. In a video embedded in the story, Richard Spencer and others gave a Nazi salute as Yiannopoulos sang “America the Beautiful” at karaoke. Milo even spiked a story at the suggestion of white nationalist Devin Saucier, a friend of Spencer’s. Yiannopoulos was forced out of Breitbart after an old tape in which he appears to condone pedophila came out, but he has remained in contact with the major funders to the site, the billionaire Mercer family, which funded Milo Inc. Steve Bannon, who had declared the Mercer-funded Breitbart a “platform for the alt-right,” left the site to run Trump’s campaign and work as a senior advisor to the White House and returned to the site when he was ousted shortly after the white nationalist terror attack in Charlottesville. “Dude---we r in a global existentialist war where our enemy EXISTS in social media and u r jerking yourself off w/ marginalia!!!!,” he wrote to Milo. “U should be OWNING this conversation because u r everything they hate!!! Drop your toys, pick up your tools and go help save western civilization.” For people like Bannon, “western civilization” is code for whiteness. But it is less offensive, and less likely to scare away potential converts. In his New York Times Magazine story on Breitbart, Wil S. Hylton talked to Yochai Benkler, a professor who had been studying the site’s rise. Breitbart was three times more influential than its closest rival, Fox News, during the 2016 election. In this way, it has, according to Benkler, served as a sort of filter that helps legitimize racist ideas. Benkler told Hylton that “Breitbart is not talking about these issues in the same way you would find on the extreme right… They don’t use the same language you find on sites like VDARE and the Daily Stormer,”

But Moore is himself acting as a bridge for even more extreme figures. As Talking Points Memo reported last week, Moore’s top supporter is Michael Peroutka, whom the site described as a “hardline Confederate sympathizer with longtime ties to a secessionist group” who has “expressed beliefs that make even Moore’s arguably theocratic anti-gay and anti-Muslim views look mainstream by comparison.” Peroutka, a secessionist and debt-collection attorney, ran for president in 2004 for the Constitution Party. In 2014, he ran for council in Anne Arundel County, Maryland and was supported by Moore, whom Peroutka has honored by naming a field on his farm for the Alabamian. In 2012, Peroutka asked attendees of a League of the South conference to “stand for the national anthem” and proceeded to play “Dixie.” So as the President and his administration continue to throw fits about athletes “disrespecting the flag” by taking a knee during the national anthem, they are actively supporting or receiving support from racist extremists who support either the Nazis or the Confederacy. Nevertheless, in the same way that Breitbart launders the extremist views of the Daily Stormer, making them more palatable, the administration is acting as a bridge to legitimize those elements on the right that are even more extreme than Trump. f

Time to Run Your Ath Off Again 8th Annual AthHalf Features a New Course and 5K

By Rashaun Ellis news@flagpole.com

unners and joggers are a common sight in Athens, even more so as the AthHalf half marathon approaches. I’ve noticed lots of group runs and obviously-not-casual joggers breezing past the hungover masses on Sunday mornings, each archetype as ubiquitous as the other in this booze-loving, fitness-focused town. Once I was out running this spring—just 5K, nothing like the 13.1-mile commitment that is the half marathon—and another runner high-fived me as we passed. It was almost like I’d felt the sun on my face for the first time, and I found out later that my fellow runner was indeed training for this year’s AthHalf. It was tempting to kick myself for being intimidated by such a distance and the endurance it takes to complete a 13-mile run, and AthFest Educates has heard my (well, our) pleas. This year, AthFest Educates is holding its first ever AthHalf 5K, a direct response to the aforementioned sentiment, according to Jill Helme, AthFest Educates’ executive director. The much shorter 3.2-mile 5K run will allow even more people to participate, from casual runners to people under 12 years of age who want to participate, since children are barred from the half marathon.

“Some people want to participate but have no interest in training for a 13-mile run,” Helme says. “It’s a really bigtime physical commitment.” Online registration at athhalf.com closes Oct. 18, but runners can also register in person at the Health and Fitness Expo at the Classic Center pavilion from noon–6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21. Entry is $90 for the half marathon and $30 for the 5K, with a $5 discount for those who sign up for both.

The 5K is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, with the half marathon slated for Sunday, starting at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Hancock Avenue and Jackson Street. The race still starts downtown, but everything else about the course has changed. After years of ending the foot race on the UGA campus (usually at the Tate Center or Sanford Stadium), construction has forced a complete change of the half marathon’s route. What was once a fairly narrow course that twisted and turned through historic neighborhoods before going into either boring straightaways or brutal hills now looks to be less twisty and as circular as possible. The twists and sharp turns that showed up around Mile 10 of the past route (either energizing or exhausting at the end of such a run) are seen between miles two and seven on this year’s course, which should be interesting for participants returning for another go at it. Helme seems very glad to have gotten rid of the old stretch along Riverbend Parkway, which is actually the aforementioned boring straightaway. Designers consulted some of Athens’ most avid local runners to help design the new course, and they’re sorry, but the brutal hills could not be helped. “Athens is hilly, period,” Helme says, chuckling. “Designing a course like this can be made difficult by the hills. Gotta hit hills, period.” She apologizes for one or two hills that are “no joke” in this year’s new course, a detail that her husband, who runs every year and has been

practicing on the new course, won’t let her forget. Don’t worry, there will also be downhill runs and flat-as-possible portions to balance the course and keep it interesting for veteran runners and newbies alike. The new course promises to be more scenic than the past one, Helme says, taking the runners through more residential and historic areas of town. AthFest Educates promises beautiful autumn views and stretches that traverse the Boulevard and Cobbham neighborhoods, as well as a jaunt past beautiful antebellum homes on Milledge Avenue that now house Greek organizations. Spectators often line up along the route and cheer on the thousands of runners. People have been known to dress up in costumes or build arches for the marathon to run through, and provide drinking water (even though there are hydration stations at every even mile) and sometimes spritzes from the water hose to beat the heat. Local bands and DJs dot the course, such as Grassland and this year’s finish-line band, The Funk Brotherhood. Those who live near or along the route should also be aware of temporary street closures Sunday morning. The music and local focus make AthHalf unique among foot races, some of which are corporate entities that move from city to city. “We are Athens,” Helme says. AthFest Educates is a local nonprofit, a homegrown organization dedicated to funding music and arts education in public schools. AthFest Educates also puts on the yearly summer music and arts festival of the same name, and the organization has issued over a quarter-million dollars in grants to the Athens community over the years. “This race highlights the community of Athens,” Helme says. “It’s very much about a celebration of our city.” f

THE BUSY, PRODUCTIVE HIATUS OF JE SUIS FRANCE By T. Ballard Lesemann music@flagpole.com

t’s amazing what some bands can accomplish on hiatus. In the case of Georgia indie collective Je Suis France, things have been surprisingly more prolific in the years after the group disbanded than in its hot and heavy Athens heydey during the late 1990s and early 2000s. As with many college-town bands, the members of Je Suis France scattered across the country to pursue job and artistic opportunities and start families. Somehow, they stayed connected. Friday, most of the core members will reconvene to perform old fan favorites, as well as a pile of recently composed tunes. Billed as “Je Suis France’s 20th Birthday Jam,” the event celebrates the 20th anniversary of the band’s first-ever show. It’s also the band’s first gig in Athens since what it remembers as a “muddy affair” at The World Famous in March 2014. “We added ringers throughout the 2000s to replace those of us who moved out of Georgia, and that made us sound better than we probably actually were, but we’ve always been less of a band than just friends hanging out,” says co-founder Garrett Ryan “The Darkness” Martin, who’s currently based in Atlanta. “And that hasn’t changed.” The France lineup has indeed changed over the years, revolving around a solid core

of guitarist-songwriters. For the Birthday Jam, the roster will feature Martin on organ and guitar, DJ “OJ” Hammond and Jon Croxton on guitar and bass, Sean “SA” Rawls on guitar and synth, Jeff Griggs on drums and bass, Ryan “Ice” Bergeron on bass and Ken Henslee on keys and percussion. Listening to the France’s early catalog, it’s mostly wild hits with only a few misses. Some tracks seem expertly produced, while others come off as hastily documented with the lowest of lo-fi gear, which works fine for the band’s style. Throughout its career, the band drew from various styles of underground rock, from the strummy drones of the Velvet Underground, the brutal thump of The Monks and the jangly mischief of Camper Van Beethoven to the compact and terse styles of Wire and Minutemen and the poppier sides of indie-rock contemporaries like Built to Spill, Pavement and Sebadoh. The same stylings rear up on the 24-song Let’s Give ’em Something to Talk About, from 2011, and its 2013 follow-up, Coleslaw III Drymouth. It’s still a jumble of straightforward pop-rock interrupted by disjointed

pieces of psychedelic experimentation and the perhaps-accidental sounds of swirling guitars, drums and shouted harmonies. “We definitely haven’t gotten better at our instruments,” says Hammond. “One thing that has never changed is that this band has always been about not caring what people think and making each other laugh. Early on, I remember people thinking that all we did was have inside jokes on stage, but really it was us just trying to make the next guy laugh. The songs may have gotten better as an added bonus.” Je Suis France’s “Atlanta contingent”— Hammond, Martin, and Bergeron—have been recording basic tracks at Hammond’s home studio and handling overdubs and mixing at Croxton’s house in Athens. “We pretty much all write stuff on our own and then help polish them off together,” Martin says. “Normally, we

record final versions of stuff at Ken’s house… We also recorded a lot of stuff at a cabin in north Georgia in 2015, and some of that [is] due for release this fall and winter.” The band has already finished up basic tracks for a forthcoming EP titled Darkstard. “The songs sound great, and the France fire has absolutely been reignited,” says Hammond. “Lots of positive vibes going. “We’ve always tried to straddle the line of what is a good idea and what is a really dumb, bad one,” Hammond adds. “Most will say we’re usually about 50/50 on those decisions, but in our mind, they’re all pure gold. A perfect example is that time we made an EP called Mind Zappa, where we printed out all these tabs to a bunch of Frank Zappa songs and just imagined how they should sound. Then we recorded and released them. Did we ever listen to the original Zappa songs for guidance? Of course not. Who would be dumb enough to do that?” f

Sound and Vision KWAZYMOTO DELIVERS AN AMBITIOUS SOPHOMORE LP By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

arlier this year, Flagpole ran an article featuring a number of Athens-based punk bands giving their opinions on the state of the local scene. Ian Hemerlein, the leader of experimental garage-punk trio Kwazymoto, responded harshly, calling it “tired and played out, with imitations of bigger, better artists on full display and a serious lack of original, creative voices.” On its sophomore album, Limerence Land—one of the most ambitious and exciting punk albums of the year—Kwazymoto aims to put its money where its mouth is. Kwazymoto comes from humble beginnings. Hemerlein was a teenager when he decided to form a duo with his friend Kody Blackmon on drums in 2014. Ten months later, after a series of shows, they were

According to Hemerlein, the album’s story and more consistent sound are a direct result of the band’s effort to step up its production quality and creative process. “Unlike our past stuff, we wanted to track everything out for this, instead of doing a live recording all at once,” he says. “There was a concerted effort to make a big jump in quality this time around, and we wanted to have a listening experience that fit that… We wanted to create something that people would want to sit down and listen to all at once, instead of individual singles.” Limerence Land feels downright massive at times, with several slow-build ballads, like the nearly 10-minute centerpiece “Let Me In,” that shift and erupt into ferocious punk ragers. Though the plot and

approached by Alec Peyton, who offered to play bass, turning the duo into a trio. In fall of 2016, the band released a well-received debut, On Mount Rennie, and has been quietly working on Limerence Land ever since. Limerence Land is a pseudo-concept album centered on what Hemerlein calls an exaggerated version of himself. “I wrote all the songs and had a basic concept for what this album would be over a year ago,” says Hemerlein. “There’s a sort of narrative running through the songs from a first-person point of view. Limerence Land is supposed to be an actual place the narrator goes to—a kind of surreal, drug-induced place.” The five-song, 31-minute album is a far cry from Kwazymoto’s debut, which, though excellent in its own right, is a rough-around-the-edges collection of 13 tracks that vary wildly in style and length, recorded in one live session. “Our first album had a lot of songs that had been around for a long time on EPs and demos that we re-recorded,” says Hemerlein. “It was really just a collection of songs we had written here and there, just barely enough to make an album. For our second album, the next logical step seemed [to be] to create something that was more directly collaborative and cohesive.”

characters within the story are not always easy to follow—an intentional choice, says Hemerlein—the overall endeavor is an unexpected but rewarding transformation for the young band, a transformation that Hemerlein thinks will stick with the group as it approaches new projects. Hemerlein may be optimistic about Kwazymoto’s future, but he still has mixed feelings on whether Athens is currently much of a place for taking creative risks. “It sometimes feels that what’s cool to like in Athens at any given moment is not always the most interesting or exciting project,” he says. “I’m not trying to say that our band deserves to be the most popular, or that we look down on any other artist, but I would hope that on a local level, there would be more support for local artists who are really living the DIY lifestyle and putting a lot on the line for their art.” f

The Powder Room Calls It Quits PLUS, MORE MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES: Athens noise-rock favorite The Powder Room is finished. Founder and songwriter Gene Woolfolk is already working on material for a new project, but this comes hot on the heels of his other piece of big news, too. Over the past several months, Woolfolk has been pulling double duty in Philadelphia band Plaque Marks, and he’s about to set out on a lengthy tour with them. That band’s newest record, Anxiety Driven Nervous Worship, is set to be released Oct. 27 on Learning Curve Records and can be found at plaquemarks.bandcamp.com. They’ll play

GARDEN OV EARTHLY DELIGHTS: On Saturday, Oct. 21, Go Bar will host Mr. E (Ethan LaPaquette) and Other Voices, Other Rooms presenting “Temporary Temple: A Tribute to Psychic TV.” The pair will start at 9 p.m. and play until about midnight, spinning a chronological retrospective of the band accompanied by video projections and a smoke machine. This is exactly the type of thing that would be ruinously boring or otherwise woefully inadequate in lesser hands, but with Other Voices, Other Rooms on board, it’s bound to be a completist’s dream and a newcomer’s worthy welcome. Hats off! EASY DOES IT: Former Athenian jazzman Trey Wright (Squat) brings his newest combo, a duo with Atlanta’s Laura Coyle, to Hendershot’s Coffee Bar Wednesday, Oct. 18. Wright sent word that the duo performs a “unique repertoire of jazz standards, Brazilian music and contemporary songs,” and if you wanna know more before you head down, see lauratreyduo.com.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT: The loveable cornballs in Je Suis France may have grown older, gotten married and started breeding little Francos of their own, but they sure as hell haven’t grown up. And in the interest of never letting go, the band is celebrating its 20th anniversary at the Caledonia Lounge Friday, Oct. 20. (See story on p. 11.) If you’re lucky enough to have not endured the 1990s, lemme tell ya, time was Je Suis France was the infectious pop spoiler of any house show taking itself too seriously, yet the group had no trouble catching the wind of scrumptious, genuinely rockin’ indie rock in its sails. In plain terms, the France did and does rock, and chances are very good you’ll have as much fun, or nearly as much fun, as the band itself if you go see ’em. They just wrapped up work on a new

SOMETHING THE LORD MADE: Null Zone is releasing the newest album by Athens-via-Oakland, CA artist Jacob Sunderlin. It’s titled Hymnal and is composed of two long pieces that run just about 14 minutes each. The first works through a sense of heavy conflict via the use of primitive guitar, harmonium drones, found sound and orthodox vocalization (which I believe is sampled but remain unsure of this). The second piece uses much of the same instrumentation but has an overarching theme of ascension, then a gentle descent from height. It’s not exactly an emotional release, or even a mere reversing of the sentiments expressed in the first piece. Its overall effect is more resignation than resolution. Find this and other Null Zone releases at nullzone.bandcamp.com. YAKETY SAX: The University of Georgia Saxophone Society will host the Saxophone Olympics at the Ramsey Concert Hall Wednesday, Oct. 18 from 6–8 p.m. This event is the fall studio recital for the UGA Saxophone Studio, which is part of the Hugh Hodgson School of Music.

record review Pylon Reenactment Society: Part Time Punks Session EP (Chunklet) That Pylon Reenactment Society can so expertly recreate the original Pylon lineup’s sound is a feat in and of itself. That it can encapsulate the primal energy of that group’s live show in record form while still bringing something new to the table is even more impressive. PRS’s Part Time Punks Session EP, recorded live with Los Angeles’ KXLU DJ Michael Stock during a tour stop last winter, does just that. Featuring two Gyrate tracks and four from Chomp, the EP recalls the spirit of ground-zero Pylon as much as it highlights the idiosyncratic interpretations of each new member. For instance, guitarist Jason NeSmith’s spirited playing closely mirrors the cutting angularity of late guitarist Randy Bewley, but NeSmith’s take on Bewley’s parts, along with Damon Denton’s keyboard textures, provide a fullness to songs like “Beep” and “K,” where the original recordings sounded minimalistic and comparatively sparse. The biggest delight, though, aside from this unit’s tenacious cohesion, is singer Vanessa Hay’s still-commanding voice, which bellows, howls and entreats as if it were 1980 all over again.

Halloween Costume Hacks HELPFUL HINTS FROM AN ATHENS QUEEN By Ming Vase-Dynasty arts@flagpole.com Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from the Halloween chapter of Gloria Vanderbilt’s Complete Guide to Jeans and Etiquette, originally published in 1978. Ming Vase-Dynasty continues to be the editor-in-chief of the premier tome for protocol and panoply.

after his resignation, this man has a giant sign that reads “NIXON” in the hay bales in the back of his truck. Dick thought about being the hay and sign. But is this costume fun enough? After all, it’s the ’70s. We’re living in a postracial America. Dick and I were the first interracial couple to

NICOLE ADAMSON

you waited until the last minute to plan your Halloween costume. Don’t fret. Why, Dick and I were so busy moving into our new house that we completely forgot to plan our Halloween costumes for the homeowners’ association’s annual costume party. Halloween is the perfect time to display your best assets: brilliance, beauty and craftiness (heretofore known as BBC). I’ve been called a triple threat before, and not just the time I was charged as an accessory to murder. Luckily, Gloria Vanderbilt jeans give me the perfect look for my costume. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but between us, my Eyes of Laura Mars Tommy Lee Jones costume will be a hit. Me dressed as a man? No one will expect that. Sadly, I find myself still trying to decide what to do with Dick. He’s just such a handful. After a long day at the office, I know he’s too exhausted to do costume construction, but we need to beat Brenda at the costume contest. Brenda thinks her yard is so perfect. It’s not a compliment when I tell you I’m amazed that your hydrangeas are different colors. It means your soil’s pH level isn’t balanced, Brenda. One day, Dick said to me, “Darling, you’re so talented. You’re a triple threat, and not just because one time that D.A. called you that. But I’m worried you’re going to exhaust yourself making our costumes. Why don’t we create a costume that looks great but can be made using simple items found in every home?” Dick loves local joke costumes. There’s a man in our neighborhood who loves Richard Nixon, because he thought he brought “law and order” to our streets. Even

move into our neighborhood. Women are liberated. Next we thought about the mayor, who was known for being a progressive champion in the ’40s. But in the modern, hip ’70s, he can’t get with it. After hosting a fundraiser for James Dobson and Anita Bryant, our mayor was ousted from the local Democratic Party. Dick thought to do a costume where half of him is the “liberal” mayor and the other half is the “conservative” mayor. But we didn’t want to incur the wrath of our right-wing HOA president. Finally,

SPIRIT GUM: For those of you trying facial appliances for your costume, look no further. My dearly devoted old schoolmate Ben Nye developed a wonderful formula. Apply spirit gum on both your skin and the appliance, and allow the gum to get a little sticky before trying to fix the appliance to your face. If you don’t have access to spirit gum and you need to affix something lightweight, liquid latex (i.e. eyelash glue) will work in a pinch.

FAKE NAILS: Apply at least three coats of clear nail polish before applying your nails. Use super glue as the glue, maybe leave a little room between the acrylic and the base of your nail. Nail polish remover will breakdown the nail polish, leaving your nailbed less ruined than if you had applied the acrylics directly to your nails.

HOT GLUE VS. E6000: Common logic has people reaching for their glue gun, but if you’re looking for a costume that will last the night and have a full 24 hours to wait before wear, grab a tube of that long-lasting hold. Note: With E6000, an effective hold needs at least one semi-porous surface.

GREASE AND CREAM MAKE-UP: Usually sold in a “werewolf/Frankenstein/witch” pack. Do a favor to yourself and anyone who might hug you: Set your make-up. Grease makeup is notoriously hard to set, but my old flatmate, Stella Adler, shared this tip with me. Put your setting powder—if on a budget, use talcum powder—in a clean sock, tie it up and beat your face. Don’t inhale. Talc is probably bad for you. Remove with baby oil.

FALSE LASHES: I am blessed with stereotypically Asian monolids, which means it doesn’t really matter where I place my lashes, so long as they’re on the lid. It is my understanding that other people do not have this luxury. If you only wear lashes once a year, just get the falsies near-ish to your lash line. If there is a gap between your natural lashes and your falsies, eyeliner will forgive a multitude of sins. Keep up with Ming Vase-Dynasty at facebook.com/Ming.VaseDynasty.

Good Gorditas LAS MONARCAS ARRIVES, PLUS ROLLED ICE CREAM ON ALPS By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

NICOLE ADAMSON

MARIPOSAS: If you regularly drive up or lettuce, etc.) and guaraches (slightly differdown Danielsville Road, you’ve probably ent shape, more oblong, like the sole of the spent plenty of time eying the former sandals from which they get their name). Huddle House near the Gateway Shopping Your choices are essentially the same for Center as it’s become one restaurant or another, none of which has lasted very long. Las Monarcas (675 Danielsville Road, 706-8507495), a Mexican restaurant, is the latest to take it over, painting the inside a cheerful bright orange and liberally decorating with butterflies. “Monarcas” means “monarchs,” as in the butterfly, which also serves as a symbol of peaceful, border-free migration. The restaurant covers a lot of bases. It’s not just a taqueria, but it does have tacos (on handmade corn tortillas). It’s not a marisqueria, but it does have a section of seafood dishes. It has Americanized Mexican stuff like chicken fajitas served with flour tortillas, and makes some pretty tasty standards in that genre, including enchiladas with green sauce. It also does breakfast, which I didn’t have an opportunity to try but which starts at 9 a.m. and Las Monarcas includes 13 different options, including chilaquiles, priced at $5.99 each. On the weekends, it does each variation: steak, chicken, al pastor, menudo, the traditional tripe soup, which barbacoa, chorizo, tripe, lengua, shredded isn’t on the regular menu but is advertised chicken in chipotle sauce, ground beef and via a handmade sign on the door. (for vegetarians!) sliced poblano peppers The largest chunk of its menu is probwith cheese. ably that devoted to various kinds of corn The steamed meats are a bit too wet, and cakes topped or filled with meat. You can there are better versions of all of them at get gorditas (thin corn cakes, fried and slit other restaurants in the area, but there’s almost like a pita), sopes (slightly thicker not much to complain about in the end. The corn cakes, shaped into a circle, with the gorditas are probably your best bet, because edges pinched all the way around, fried, the format enables you to get every topand topped with meat, cheese, beans, ping in each bite, but to each his own. The

real highlight comes in the various salsas, including a hot, creamy green sauce similar to but distinct from the one served at Sr. Sol and a pale orange one that, if I had to guess, might be made with seeded habaneros (it has the zip of those peppers but not the underlying bitterness you get from leaving the seeds in). There’s seating in the form of fake wood booths, plus counter seating on built-in stools, a nice option if you’re by your lonesome. Las Monarcas is open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner and does not have a liquor license.

I JUST WANNA ROLLY ROLLY ROLLY: If rolled ice cream follows the path of its fro-yo and marble slab predecessors, you can expect to see a whole bunch of places offering it open in quick succession then slowly go out of business as their core audience moves on to something else. But right now, we’re in the early stages of the trend. Roll It Up, a franchise with one location in Doraville and a brand-new one in the former Stevi B’s by Beechwood Shopping Center (at 122 Alps Road), is not a place to go if you

prefer a peaceful environment. The long, skinny space now has splashes of hot pink, blue and green all over its walls, large light fixtures that flash those same colors and a pumping Top 40 soundtrack. Combine that with the line out the door, mostly consisting of college girls in Greek-lettered T-shirts, and the 30-minute wait, and you may decide it is not worth it. That said, if you are patient or your children are, the place is kind of fun. The line up to the cash register does its best to prepare you for the decisions you will have to make, detailing the process step by step in large photos. Pick your base and mix-ins (which determine flavor). Dudes with well-developed forearms pour ingredients onto a super-chilled metal platter, then chop and smear them together until they form a smooth paste across the entire disk. They then use their palette knives to shave off the ice cream in cigar-like spirals, packing each roll into a cup before topping them with fruit, candies, syrups and more. In other words, your ice cream is pretty much made before your eyes, which can be fun to watch. Roll It Up suggests some combinations for you, and you make all your decisions at the register, where the staff writes them on the cup, meaning you don’t have to yell anything in the middle of the process. The ice cream is more or less good. Fruit flavors are better than more sugary stuff, and the toppings can include Pocky, mochi, thin pretzels and lychee as well as junk like Fruity Pebbles. Roll It Up also offers dragon’s breath (snacks infused with liquid nitrogen, meaning “smoke” comes out of your mouth) and is open every day from noon until fairly late. WHAT UP?: Atlanta restaurateurs Jerry and Krista Slater announced they are opening The Expat, a cocktail-centered restaurant, in the former Two Story Coffee space in Five Points.

EVENT | SAT, OCT 21

MUSIC | TUE, OCT 24

Russell Library · 7 p.m. · FREE! As a proud member of both the #FakeNewsMedia and the reality-based community, I wish this weren’t the case, but in a world where America elected an Alex Jones-loving, birtherismspouting reality TV star president because a substantial portion of the voting population believed the other candidate ran a global hit squad and a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor, the easy answer is to this question is, “LOL nothing matters.” Nevertheless, some poor souls from the Georgia Debate Union have been tasked with arguing in the affirmative that “facts matter more than fake news in contemporary society.” Good luck! At the very least, this should be more enlightening than your average Facebook exchange. [Blake Aued]

Georgia Theatre · 7:30 p.m. · $29–33 At nine members strong, gypsy punks Gogol Bordello have made a career of acquainting American audiences with dub-inflected Eastern European music. Formed by lead singer Eugene Hütz in 1999, the band has toured relentlessly over the years with various lineups, showcasing its supercharged live show at both Vans Warped Tour and Bonnaroo. On its seventh and latest album, Seekers and Finders, the group of immigrants—ranging from Ukraine to Ecuador and Ethiopia—transforms global negativity into messages of self-empowerment and perseverance, like on the title track, which features Russian-born pop singer-songwriter Regina Spektor. Funky brass band Lucky Chops open Thursday’s show. [Andy Barton]

Georgia Museum of Art · 8 p.m. · FREE! Celebrating several new exhibitions, the museum’s thrice-annual party features music by DJ Reindeer Games and WesdaRuler, complimentary refreshments and late-night access to the galleries. “Modern Masters from the Giuliano Ceseri Collection” shares 19th and 20th Century works on paper, while “Louise Blair Daura: A Virginian in Paris” includes all known paintings and drawings by the artist. “Martha Odum: Art Intersects Ecology,” an exhibit of watercolor paintings and natureinspired silver pieces, acknowledges the UGA Eugene P. Odum School of Ecology’s 50th anniversary. “Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs and têteà-tête” includes images by Thomas, as well as artists who inspire her. [Jessica Smith]

40 Watt Club · 6:30 p.m. · $10 To celebrate the 25th birthday of R.E.M.’s Automatic for the People, Craft Recordings is re-issuing the album in a deluxe format that includes a set of previously unheard demos, plus Live at the 40 Watt Club 11/19/92, a recording of the band’s record-release show. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first R.E.M. listening party at the 40 Watt—a tradition that would continue for the next decade-plus—athensmusic. net will host #Automatic25, where attendees can hear the remastered album and view a short documentary on the making of R.E.M.’s most universally acclaimed LP. There will also be a raffle. Proceeds benefit Family Connection-Communities in Schools in Athens and AthFest Educates. [Gabe Vodicka]

Caledonia Lounge · 8 p.m. · $10–12 Chicago-based buzz band Ratboys combines organic Americana instrumentation with a dreamy, emo-tinged take on indie rock, resulting in a singular style the group has adeptly dubbed “post-country.” Ratboys’ latest full-length album, GN, released on trendy imprint Topshelf Records in June, is one of the year’s most woefully under-celebrated standouts, all tenderness and twang. Italian trio DAGS!, which showcases its uniquely jagged, post-rock approach to rhythm and melody on last year’s Snowed In/ Stormed Out, shares Tuesday’s loaded Caledonia bill, as does local group Scooterbabe, the always-compelling outlet for singer-songwriter JJ Posway’s clever, confessional bedroompop.

Brad, You’re real as hell, and I like that. You’re upfront about your choice to stay single awhile longer, and you recognize that the nuclear family does not automatically beget happy marriages or healthy children. Platonic co-parenting is not new by any stretch, and I saw it myself plenty of times when I floated around hippie circles in another life. But it’s important to note that these friend-parents that I knew personally were not of the Bikram yoga and farmers market variety, but were mostly commune dwellers who chose to cloister themselves away from society and work on a new future with a chosen family. I knew two lady friends who had a wedding to consecrate their modern family, complete with future

Ms. Applebum, I am reconnecting with a girl that I have been in love with since junior high. She has always been “the one,” and I never wanted her to slip away. I was too shy to approach her back then, so now I am going to give it a go. She agreed to meet me, but I want to make sure it goes well. How can I make sure we don’t just end up as friends? How do I show how I really feel for her? Just tell her, but don’t expect much. We’re talking a junior-high crush here, and you’re both adults now. There’s no way to “make sure” this goes how you want, dude. You’re gonna have to just lay it all out there and accept her response. Be honest, be brave and be respectful. I’ve hooked up with high-school friends as an adult, so you never know what could come of it. But I do find this to be horribly cute, and my fingers are crossed for you. f Need advice?
