As we all know, there’s a big old deposit of natural gas sitting under a large portion of Pennsylvania, mostly in the west, center and north, with a little shale crossing the Delaware River headwaters that flow down to our fair city and gush from our taps.

The natural-gas industry, largely based in the Midwest, learned of all this and decided that it was a good idea to get that gas, for a number of reasons: Because it burns more cleanly than gasoline and coal; because it’s from our backyard and not an Iraqi’s; and because American workers would do the work (maybe) to get the gas out, refine it and sell to Americans to use.

So they brought their equipment and drills and skilled workers to the Keystone State, and in three years there have been increasingly voluminous protestations of dumping, of people getting sick, of spills, and complaints of tainted water. That’s because the process, colloquially known as fracking, involves using lubed-up drill bits the size of a man’s head to bore very deep holes, which then turn and drill horizontally. Then sand, water and “proprietary fluids” (as the industry calls them) get pumped into the shale to break it up and release the gas.

Yesterday, in an effort to (responsibly?) deal with this mess, a couple state representatives announced the formation of the Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission, which will tour the state compiling citizen testimony about the natural-gas industry in Pennsylvania. The open hearings start today and will hit Philly on Sept. 6 (and coincides with the Marcellus Shale Coalition’s Gas Insight Conference downtown next week).

Former state representatives Dan Surra (D-Clearfield and Elk Counties) and Carole Rubley (R-Chester and Montgomery Coun-

W W W. P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY. C O M

Gas Chamber

ties) will head the volunteer-run commission, which is comprised of members from the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, the Clean Water Coalition and others.

“We’re going to try to bring some balance to the debate,” says Surra, a veteran pol who’s quick to commend Gov. Corbett’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission on its work, and who agrees that economic development from the gas industry is vital.

But “on the other hand,” Rubley says, “there are possibilities of widespread problems from an environmental point of view, so we want to ensure the rights of citizens to clean air and clean water; and also the protection of public health will be part of the discussion as we move forward with this.”

Surra says the citizens’ commission will supplement the work of the governor’s Shale Advisory Committee. “This is a very big deal in Pennsylvania,” he says. “It’s something that we have to get right.”

The citizens’ commission was formed in response to the governor’s advisory commission report, which had some good recommendations in it, Rubley says. But the citizens’ commission’s investigation will be broader, covering the social impacts of drilling, the impact of a tax for possible environmental mishaps (since there is no drilling tax in Pennsylvania), public health, and habitat—things that weren’t covered by the governor’s commission.

“Much of the Marcellus Shale plays are taking place in some of the most pristine and beautiful and somewhat protected parts of Pennsylvania—that is, our state forests and gamelands,” Surra says. “We have to be careful about the incremental industrialization of our public lands. I mean, I’ve heard stories already of hikers and hunters and fisherman, they’re all walking on our public lands and they’re being met by armed security guards.”

Hunting and fishing are sustainable, as well as tourism, but industrialization will threaten those industries, he says. Harrisburg will begin drafting legislation that will impact all these key sectors, as well as potentially impact people’s lives. It’s vital to conduct a formal fact-finding mission “to try to educate our lawmakers so they can do a better job,” he says.

“This is really a group of concerned citizens hearing from other citizens, and this is what democracy should be all about, and much of what we have lost, the best of what our government is,” says Barb Jarmoska, a commissioner from Responsible Drilling Alliance.

The open hearing on Sept. 6 will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Free Library of Philadelphia (1901 Vine St.). Testimony will be compiled in a report that will be submitted to the state Legislature and governor so they’ll have something to chew on when they get back to work in the fall—“when they’re deliberating on future laws and regulations,” Rubley says.

Those wishing to testify must register before the hearing by calling 717.255.7181 or visiting citizensmarcellusshale.com n

daycare winds past an indoor playground to a room in the back. When she opens the door, six dogs—pit bulls—go bananas, barking and jumping with joy inside their crates at the sight of Eva. She introduces her brood. “This is Boi Boi, Phat Phat, Bishop, Kilo, and that little one is A.J. and the other puppy is Taz,” says Eva. As she points out each dog, her face lights up. That big smile’s been hard to come by lately. After the fire, the Joneses spent the three-week maximum at the Red Cross House in West Philly. The family’s been struggling to find new housing ever since.

Even with the help of the Red Cross, the couple say it seems almost impossible to find a house that will accept the dogs. “A lot of people were going to give us the opportunity, but … they say pits are bad dogs,” says Eva. “They’re not bad dogs. It depends how your raise them.”

•

Two of the Jones’ six dogs were outside, another two were on the second floor, but the puppies were still upstairs. Jones ran up the stairs to the third floor to get them.

“I couldn’t see them [through the smoke] so I had to reach around. I finally got a hold of them,” he recalls. “I was trying to get out, but I couldn’t see anything.”

He considered the window, then dashed down the steps and got the whole family out of the house.

The Fire Department arrived within minutes, but the damage was done. The fire had crawled up the stairs, burning the couple’s bedroom and the nursery. “The baby’s room is all black,” Jones says.

Though Eva remains stoic while describing the flames, it’s when talking about how a new organization called Red Paw Emergency Relief Team saved her dogs that she breaks down. “Without them I don’t know where our dogs would be,” she says, crying.

Though putting the puppies up for adoption is upsetting for the Joneses, it’s not nearly as traumatic as other possibilities.

Back in June, a dog named Lizzy was euthanized when her owner went to jail after a fire. The same thing happened to cats that survived a fire out on Haverford Avenue the same month. These are the stories that lead animal activists to call Philly a disgrace.

Red Paw’s filling in a huge gap in disaster management. With Red Paw on the scene, hopefully these stories will become exceptions. Not only were the Jones’ dogs’ lives saved, but they were also spayed and neutered while in their care.

Meanwhile, as their search for a new house stretches into the fifth week, the Joneses are staying with a friend. They took the four adult dogs back. “They’re doing fine,” says Eva. “They’re healthy and having fun. They’re just happy that they’re back with us. They’re just happy to see me.” The two puppies, A.J. and Taz, stayed behind at Central Bark, where staff is putting in extra hours taking care of them as they await adoption.

“This is definitely a pilot program for Philadelphia,” says Leary. “But we’re trying to expand it soon. I’ve already had people in New Jersey ask for us to do it there. This could have national effect.” n

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

Andrew Jones risked his life for the two puppies that he’s reluctantly giving up for adoption. While sleeping in their North Philly home one night in late July, Jones’ wife, 23-year-old Eva, woke up to the chaos of her six dogs barking.

Eva, three months pregnant, shook her husband. “Something’s burning,” she said.

Jones ran down the stairs from the third floor to the second, to his brother Lawrence’s bedroom. A candle left burning in a plastic bottle set the radio on fire. The men panicked. A bucket of water thrown on the nowelectrical fire made it worse. Flames leapt to the couch and roared toward the staircase.

Paw, a volunteer organization that launched July 25. If the Jones’ house burned just a day earlier—their house went up the first night Red Paw was active—they probably would have had to give up all the dogs. And the dogs likely would have shared the fate of most pit bulls that end up at the local shelter—euthanization.

Wendy Marano, spokesperson for the PSPCA, confirms that the Animal Care and Control Team (ACCT), Philly’s animal shelter, can only hold temporarily homeless animals five days. “There’s a little bit of flexibility if we have room, [but] that’s a big if because so many animals come in to the shelter,” says Marano.

Red Paw works in conjunction with the Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania and bills themselves as “Red Cross for Animals.” Jen Leary, founder of Red Paw, is a Philadelphia firefighter, Red Cross emergency responder and coordinator of the local chapter of County Animal Response Team (CART), a statewide program established and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after Hurricane Katrina.

Red Paw aims to do what most local activists thought CART was supposed to do: assist in recovering pets after disasters.

But after the fiasco following the five-alarm blaze that destroyed Windermere Court, a 90-unit apartment complex at 48th and Walnut streets back in January, CART’s limitations became clear.

CART could not, for example, have helped the Joneses.

Except for surreptitious action taken by renegade cat activists, Windermere residents’ cats were left to starve, die and disappear in the condemned building. “[The idea for Red Paw] has been in my head for years, but after the Windermere situation, I went to … the Red Cross and was like, ‘Look, this is getting ridiculous.’”

An analysis of the aftermath of Windermere reported by PW at the time revealed that though CARTs were successful in surrounding counties, Philly’s program, tethered to the Office of Emergency Management, was still really only operating on paper. Later, Samantha Phillips, assistant management director of OEM and overseer of Philadelphia CART, clarified that (unlike CARTs in surrounding counties), even if it were up and running, Philly’s CART would only deploy in the event of a disaster the level of Hurricane Katrina, or a disaster resulting in 50 or more pets needing assistance.

So CART can assist in rare and severe circumstances, but not in situations that endanger pets’ lives in Philly nearly every single week. (This past weekend, under threat of Hurricane Irene, was the first time

OEM activated Philly CART.) Portia Scott Palko, owner of Central Bark, former CART volunteer and outspoken local animal activist who was key in assisting Leary establish Red Paw, was surprised to find out that the organization she was volunteering for wasn’t designed to do what she thought it was designed to do.

“Windermere really opened my eyes,” Scott Palko says.

Fed up with the “politics” of CART, Scott Palko was happy to “switch energies” toward helping Leary get Red Paw’s list of cooperative organizations together, which includes PAWS, Society Hill Vet Hospital and City Kitties, among other organizations as well as individual foster parents. “I really can’t say enough about Jen’s drive and her refusal to take no for an answer,” says Scott Palko.

“She saw this need and fought for it.”

For Leary, battling bureaucracy is nothing compared to watching pets and their owners suffer. During her work with the Fire Department and Red Cross, Leary’s seen it all: There was the time she rushed fire survivors to the vet in her own car as they administered oxygen to their dogs in her backseat—and the dogs died. She’s had to call medics for people suffering near-anxiety attacks after failing to save their pet before escaping a burning building. She’s seen owners tie dogs to trees and leave them in backyards for lack of anywhere for them to go while they get on their feet.

In the last few days, feeling defeated, they reluctantly decided to put the two puppies up for adoption.

“We got attached to them. So it’s kind of hard for me,” says Andrew Jones. “But I know I can’t really take all these dogs.”

Acts of Love It’s a lot easier than you might think to put on a show in the Philly Fringe.

By Jeffrey Barg jbarg@philadelphiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

But thanks to Producing Director Nick Stuccio, the Philly Fringe did reclaim the mantle of a noncommercial festival with virtually zero barriers to entry. The festival’s roots actually lie in the hallowed Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a three-week performance extravaganza that wrapped this week, and this year featured some 2,500 actors, musicians, artists and outside-the-box creative types raring to put on a show. Back in 1947, when eight uninvited groups showed up to perform at a particular festival in the Scottish capital, they were denied entry but decided to perform anyway, giving birth to the idea that anyone who wanted to could put on a show—they didn’t have to be “presented” by anyone but themselves. While that renegade spirit still exists in Edinburgh, “it’s a much more commercial venture now,” says Stuccio, who this year went back to Scotland for the fest. “There are producers roaming around looking for that next Blue Man Group.”

But when he went there 16 years ago to produce a show, it occurred to him that Philly had the perfect environment for a similar kind of impromptu collection of works.

“It started out small—it was confined to Old City for a couple of years,” says Craig Peterson, now the director of the Philly Fringe. “As it grew in size, it started to spread out across the city.” Then in 2004, what was then simply called the Philadelphia Fringe Festival split intentionally into two different showcases: the Live Arts Festival, a curated handful of acts drawn mostly from national and international stages, and the Philly Fringe, which is the open-ended madcappery that welcomes any and all.

Though Philly’s a much larger, more diverse city than Edinburgh, with more than three times the population, the nature of the performing arts here lent itself to a similar kind of festival vibe. “Philly audiences are really supportive of artists, and that makes a big difference,” says Peterson.

“I’m from New York, and the Fringe there is great, but it doesn’t take over the city because the city’s so big. But

Philly didn’t invent the idea of a free-for-all fringe.

t started on a dare. A totally absurd-sounding dare.

“Henry IV : The Musical,” he said to me.

“Uh, sure,” I replied, assuming that the idea would disappear within minutes.

I’d heard a lot of Ben Kamine’s harebrained schemes years earlier when we were undergrads together at Penn—the kind related from a college freshman at 3 in the morning, the hour when college freshmen believe they have all their most brilliant ideas.

“I’ll direct it,” Kamine said. “You’ll write the music. We’ll do it in the Philly Fringe. It’ll be amazing.”

The idea was preposterous for any number of reasons: I’d barely ever written any music, let alone a musical. He lived in New York, I in Philly. And the Philly Fringe was just eight months away. But Philly’s isn’t just any fringe fest. As long as you find yourself a venue and pay the very nominal entry fees, you can put on a show in the festival. Got a hankering to do a dramatic reading of the 1929 Philadelphia White Pages while dressed up like Angela Lansbury? Perfect.

Think someone will come see you dance the hucklebuck in the Waterworks fountain behind the Art Museum? Start sloshing. Feel a need to strip naked and pantomime the collected congressional testimonies of Bob Brady? Great— shows with nudity tend to do especially well in the festival.

All of which is to say that most Philadelphians—yourself included—are much, much closer to being able to put on a Fringe show than they think.

I certainly was. And now the Philly Fringe starts this week, with hundreds of shows on tap—including one by my friends and me called Wars & Whores, a musical version of William Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part I. As I got to learn firsthand, getting a show up in the Fringe isn’t just doable—it’s almost too easy.

Philly’s small enough that it can overwhelm the city.

Everybody knows at least a couple people involved in a Fringe show, so it creates this buzz. In a larger city, it flies under the radar of a lot of people. Here you can’t avoid it.”

It’s grown by welcoming all comers who are willing to pay the very nominal fees—all told, after marketing fees and insurance requirements and things, entry is as little as a couple hundred bucks (which can easily be made up at the box office). They’ll put you in the festival guide and even sell your tickets for you (collecting only a minimal commission on seats sold through the Philly Fringe box office). You just have to find a venue to perform in. In many cases, securing that space is the toughest part of putting on a show.

• 10

When we started looking for a venue, we thought we had it on lock. Kamine and I had met at Penn in a Shakespeare troupe that always performed in the rooftop lounge of a high-rise dorm there, a blank-slate space with floor-toceiling windows 25 stories above West Philadelphia. So we figured we’d use that room for Wars & Whores, and avoid incurring the space rental fees that are often the costliest hurdle for Fringe performers.

But long after most Fringe performers had already secured the plum spots all around the city, the Penn powers that be informed us that letting a Fringe’s worth of audi-

ence members into a dorm would be too great a security risk. So we started scrambling.

We had friends with coffee shops and with large West Philadelphia living rooms, but all seemed too tight for what we had in mind. We toured countless church basements and attics and rec rooms, sheepishly telling them that the title of our otherwise family-friendly show included the word “whores.” (“Hey, they’re in the Bible,” responded one.)

As an almost last-ditch effort, I emailed Gina Renzi, who runs the Rotunda at 40th and Walnut. With some of the most diverse, original programming in the city, the Rotunda is one of the most coveted buildings in the entire festival, and I figured it had long ago been booked up. But I knew Renzi from an old PW story I’d written about the Rotunda back in 2005, so I figured it was worth a long shot.

I wasn’t totally wrong: The back room where the Rotunda weekly hosts bands, artists, actors and performers of every stripe was booked solid. But by some miracle, the Rotunda’s front sanctuary—which is typically closed to the public, but has hosted Live Arts and Fringe shows every year since 2004—wasn’t yet claimed.

I knew the room well. A 5,000-square-foot behemoth, this sanctuary of the former First Church of Christ Scientist was the focus of that 2005 PW story. In writing about a radically ambitious art/architecture installation that was planned for the space (but which never came to pass), I’d

fallen in love with this building and its majestic domed roof, its grand organ pipes, its peeling white paint and its rough hardwood floors—all classic urban decay, a disused relic hidden in plain sight.

Renzi and I talked about the space’s challenges: It has troublesome acoustics, and if you don’t fill the room up, it can look pretty empty. But the opportunity seemed too good to pass up.

Driven in equal parts by creative vision and a general shortage of viable theater spaces, the Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe have always included out-of-the-way, out-of-the-box performance spaces as part of their draw.

First the local stages get snatched up, then the bars, then the churches … and then artists start getting creative.

“There are some big machines that cut granite with water underneath us right now,” says Director Rebecca Wright, walking through the Machine Shop, a loft space above a warehouse on the corner of 21st Street and Washington Avenue. The set for her show Overseers is a work in progress, with random storage ephemera scattered around the room and a few makeshift furniture pieces taking shape in the weeks before the Fringe begins.

“When we first came in here, there was dust 2 inches thick,” she says. “There was a bunch of old rejected carpeting, window dressings and kitchen remodeling equipment.

This shelf was piled high with rubber siding and venetian blind samples. It might not look like it, but we’ve probably swept and mopped it seven or eight times now.”

As with so many Fringe shows, Overseers demands a different kind of theatrical experience. The structure is what Wright calls “parallel narrative,” in which both actors and audience are constantly moving around the space.

Actors are never offstage—they follow their own storylines from place to place around the room, and audience members can choose to follow one person through the play, to stay in one spot to see what happens there, or to do some combination of the two. Each character is the star of their own story.

“This work couldn’t happen on a regular stage,” says Wright. “We’re interested in playing with the audience relationship in a way that allows them to participate in that relationship in a way that’s more than they could or would or should if they were sitting in a dark room looking at a lit stage. A lot of people find that there’s a lot of payoff for that, and as artists, you find that you’re communicating with someone as opposed to to someone, and that’s exciting and rich.”

“People are more willing to go outside their comfort zone during the Fringe,” says Miriam White, whose show Longing With Language: A Performance Smorgasbord is also using the Machine Shop in the 2011 Fringe. “When you’re in an alternative space, the whole experience is so much more rewarding for the audience.”

But it’s not just artistic vision that drives these alternative spaces in the Fringe—it’s also economics.

“The off-the-beaten-path thing works for us, but we’re really poor,” says Wright. “We don’t have to worry about filling a 200-seat house every night in order to keep the lights on. We’re poor in this liberating way—we’ve got nothing to lose and we can do anything we want, and spaces like this let you do anything you want.”

covered, and that would be about 50 minutes’ worth of the show. But uncut, Henry IV Part I is a nearly three-and-ahalf-hour show. We were aiming for 90 minutes.

So she took first a hatchet, then a scalpel, combining characters, condensing plot points, eliminating wars (no need for the king and his men to go fight in Scotland and Wales now, is there?). Everyone who does Shakespeare cuts him up. But the task of making sure that storylines still flow, and that characters don’t end up giving birth to themselves or delivering messages that they never could have possibly received in the first place, provides a unique challenge to each book adapter.

Kamine and Ollove both work in theater—Kamine in New York, where his credits include the Brick Theater and the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab, and Ollove in Philly, where she’s worked with Philadelphia Theatre Company, Theater Exile and the Arden, among others. But I’ve got a day job. Although I was supported by pros, I worried I was way out of my depth.

Turns out that the Philly Fringe is the one time each year when lots of closet artists unleash the beast … or at least they try to.

“When she came in to sign up, she said, ‘I’ve never done a show before! I’m terrified! I’m gonna do it!’ That was the epitome of the Fringe to me.”

For many artists, the mundane challenges of finding

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011 • 12

a space and selling tickets and securing insurance are too much to bear. Despite the ample assistance offered by the Fringe, “I know many artists who aren’t great producers,” says Producing Director Nick Stuccio.

Then there are those of us who have never written a show before and have to start from scratch.

Well, not entirely from scratch—Wars & Whores is an adaptation of Shakespeare, and the man provides an admittedly solid foundation. But there was still a show’s worth of songs to write.

For inspiration, Kamine cited the “Talkin’ William Shakespeare Time Travelin’ Blues,” an absurd number I’d written eight years ago solely for the amusement of my friends and myself. Follow that model, he said, and we could have an entire folk musical.

He gave me the first three song titles—“Make Love From a Horse,” “I Know You All” and the “Talkin’ Richard Two Two-Timin’ Blues,” along with a description of each song’s purpose in the show—and told me to get to work.

When you have a song title like “Make Love From a Horse,” the lyrics write themselves. “I Know You All” adhered verbatim to Shakespeare’s text, so that one came pretty easily as well. But then I went to write another Talkin’ Blues, and the well was dry.

I called Kamine to tell him I was bailing on the project.

The Fringe was way too ambitious a goal, right?

He raced over and coached me through the block until I was up and writing again. The rest of the songs followed over the next few months, and stall-outs were blessedly few.

In the meantime, we enlisted local dramaturgy maven Sally Ollove, another college friend from the same old Shakespeare company, to adapt the script. I had the songs

Cymande Lewis, whose one-woman show My Name

Is Sam Johnson is appearing at the Arts Garage, has a day job. Fringe Director Craig Peterson clearly remembers first meeting her.

“When she came in to sign up, she said, ‘I’ve never done a show before! I’m terrified! I’m gonna do it!’” he recounts breathlessly. “That was the epitome of the Fringe to me.”

Her story—and mine, it turns out—is not uncommon.

“A lot of people who put on shows are people who have a love for the performing arts, but have no context for doing so,” says Peterson. “They have a day job, but they love doing comedy or theater. It becomes a time when people who maybe did college theater can finally pursue it. Or that band or musician who doesn’t perform regularly can rent out a bar. It sounds a little hokey, but it’s kind of a makemy-dream-come-true kind of thing. There are a substantial number of people who really just want to tell a story.”

Jay Nachman fits the bill perfectly. By day he works PR for the National Museum of American Jewish History on Independence Mall. In the Philly Fringe, he gets to let a different side out.

“I’ve always done creative things—writing, taking acting classes—and the Fringe provides a venue where I can put these creative talents out there in a way I can’t do at my job,” Nachman says. “It’s a desire to express myself. It’s a little more engaging than just writing about it. I like getting the immediacy of an audience response.”

His one-man show My Dad Is Now Ready for His Sponge Bath is taking advantage of another of the city’s unique venues—Grasso’s Magic Theater at Front and Callowhill.

The show, which sprung from Nachman’s father’s battle with lung cancer, takes a surprisingly humorous look at an otherwise very unfunny topic. He has performed previously in the D.C. and Wilmington, Del., fringes, along with New York’s Emerging Artists Theatre. But the performance side of Nachman remains a side project—at least until it isn’t anymore.

“Does everybody dream of being a rock star? Yeah. Do I dream of doing this on Broadway? Yeah, sure,” he says.

“But it is what it is. I’m just happy about any audience that comes to see it. For me, it’s rewarding enough when people tell me that they get something out of the show.”

It’s a sentiment that Fringe organizers see time and again in their artists.

“I think people are really committed to the understanding that this is an endeavor they’re taking on for whatever reason is important to them,” says Peterson. “Doing shows in the framework of a festival makes people feel a little less isolated. They aren’t producing their work in a bubble.”

Stuccio sums it up even more succinctly: “There are all kinds of people in this world,” he says. “Some just look at their circumstances and say, ‘I can do this.’”

It wasn’t until two-thirds of the songs were written that

I actually told myself, “I can do this.” By the time we had 13 songs in the bag, and a band to play them and a cast to sing them, the show started to feel real. Before we knew it, rehearsals had commenced, we were fundraising to cover expenses, we were blitzing local media in the grand scramble for air amid a crush of shows all happening in the same few-week span, and as we started to publicize the show, people actually started buying tickets.

Now we’re just over a week away from a four-show run in the Rotunda sanctuary.

As much as we were told about the hurdles—it’s tough to find space, you have to really promote yourself, how the hell are you going to write a musical—very little of it has felt like a heavy lift.

Maybe it’s deceptively easy work. Maybe we got really lucky.

Or maybe, when it’s not a job, but a passion, even the most difficult pieces feel like a hell of a lot of fun. ■

IND TV, the nonprofit media channel dedicated to airing independent-minded content and innovative programming screens their new show Food Revolution at Triumph Brewery tonight.

The documentary-style show highlighting everything local and edible, aims to teach its viewers all about where their local food is coming from, the back-stories of Philly farms and farmers markets and the many initiatives set up around the city to teach our youth about healthy eating. The screening will be accompanied by plenty of Philly brews and food from Triumph’s ‘home-grown’ menu.

The We Bee brothers will also be on hand to discuss the connection between diet and health and give out samples of their superpowered raw honey. AbiGAil bruley Wed., Aug. 31, 6pm. Free. Triumph Brewing, 117 Chestnut St. 215.625.0855. mindtv.org

Cranes Are Flying If anything, upstart West Philly foursome Cranes Are Flying—originally from North Jersey—have too many musical ideas and perhaps not quite enough self-editing acumen. On their new EP, Somnambulist, the band stitches together indie-tropicalia, meandering postrock, moody indie-folk and noisy, shoegazery outbursts (and some proudly off-key vocals), though the results sometimes feel jumbled and forced. Still, there’s enough promise in their melodies and sonic textures to make them an outfit worth watching, particularly if they can boil all those ideas down to something focused and engaging. Maybe that’s how they do live.

Hunx and His Punx

•

Food Revolution

16

As Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art says of their recently inked Bay Area foursome behind the new album Too Young to Be in Love: “Hunx and His Punx might be the first ever ‘girl

group’ fronted by a flamboyant gay male whose dream in life is to sound like a girl.” Indeed, the leopard-print-speedo-wearing Hunx (a.k.a.

Seth Bogart) is super-duper (and then even more super) gay. And along with his three lady cohorts that form the Punx, he leads the campy quartet as they emulate the Ronettes and Shangri-Las, occasionally scuffing up their sugary pop with Richard Hell, biker-jacket trash-punk and often reshaping that oldfashioned girl-group lyrical romance and drama with Hunx’ proudly queer twist.

Fall Arts Preview Not ready to commit to a feature-length film?

Squirming at the prospect of sitting through a long performance? For those of us who like choices, and many of them, International House offers us a smorgasboard of cultural snippets as part of their Fall Arts Preview.

In addition to a sneak peek at the upcoming season, the evening features a performance by N.Y.C.-based musician Steve Moore. Layering pop and ambient elements, Moore’s synthesizer-rich music cocoons listeners in a steadily spun web of cinematic electronica.

The Absolution Lab Butch Cordora may be a bona fide Philly celebrity best known for gay chat show In Bed With Butch and “Straight and Butch,” a pinup calendar featuring his meticulously sculpted and groomed body artfully draped around naked bodies of other hot, albeit cock-teasingly straight, men, but with his latest project he wants you to know: As a visual artist, he is about much more than engorge-ous peen. “It’s good people doing bad things, bad people doing food things and how at the end of the day, all any of us are looking for is some sort of absolution that never seems to come,” says Cordora of his second solo show. The new work is Warholian familiar, featuring reappropriated iconic pop culture images such as the wreckage of JFK Jr.’s plane being hoisted out of the water alongside wonk-eyed Hilton heiresses.

Bonus material includes rarely seen photos of a young, buck-naked David Beckham, arms akimbo, cock dangling, telegraphing raunchyhot sexts with his beautiful eyeballs. Strongly recommended for “art enthusiasts” of all persuasions. See page 25 for more First Friday picks. tArA MurthA 6-9pm. Free. Ven & Vaida Gallery, 18 S. Third St. 215.592.4099. venandvaida.com

Screw Smart

Baroque Suite “Listen to image” and “see sound” demands Baroque Suite, a short film by Philadelphians Alex Tyson and Troy Herion. The 15-minute trip’s modeled on five movements of a classical baroque suite—overture, courante, minuet, sarabande, and gavotte—and references baroque’s compositional style and themes.

Traditional acoustic instrumentation, though, is modified with electronic glitches, drones and white noise, and it’s all smoothly spliced with images such that any aural-visual hierarchy vanishes. During the minuet, a delicate piano lingers and twinkles while a cat strolls atop a table contemplating the chicken and rabbit corpses hanging by their feet just inches above its curious paws. It’s moderately morose, but

Anybody remember Screw Your Roommate, that twisted, age-old college tradition of fixing your roommate up on a painfully awkward blind-ish date? Well, its finished its degree, broken up with its college sweetheart, gotten all grown up and come back in the form of ScrewSmart, a Philadelphia-based sex-education collaborative founded in 2009 by J.D. Ackerman, Rebecca Alvarez and Kira Manser.

The ladies conduct workshops that create sex-positive dialogue, with topics such as open relationships and queer history to 101 courses on strap-on-sex and anal play. Tonight they offer us a taste of what they do best, performing with the Liberty City Drag Kings, those kings and queens of kinky drag and burlesque. Featuring a tittie tassel twirling contest and Emcee the Notorious OMG as usual, but with fresh LICK meat never before seen in public. DJ Evil spins after the show, so stick around if you see someone you like. eMMA eisenberG 9pm. $8-$10. Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar, 200 S. 12th St. 215.964.9675. libertycitykings.com

WHYY Connections Festival

T

he WHYY Connections Festival kicks off with a free preview screening of renowned documentarian Ken Burn’s latest project, Prohibition.

Burns has earned seven Emmys and two Academy Award nominations for his previous work, Civil War, Baseball and Jazz. Prohibition illuminates a period when religion first took center stage in politics. Although the dry movement occurred in the 1920s, the documentary draws subtle comparisons with today’s debates about the legalization of marijuana and same sex marriage. Prior to the screening, Hot Club of Philadelphia will perform prohibition era jazz. The festival continues on Saturday with a concert featuring alt-country singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle and Philly faves Dr. Dog. Laura GoLDman Fri., Sept. 2, 6:30pm. Free.

This time through town fellow punkers Fireworks, Balance and Composure, and Make Do and Mend round out the bill, so you’ll want to get there early. Fine acts, all of them.

Twin Shadow “I picture you waiting at the end of a bridge/ But it’s hard for me to render all the things that we did,” sings Twin Shadow on “When We’re Dancing” from his debut, Forget (4AD, 2010). That’s how memory often works: We remember places, but not the meaty details, and so our histories are mostly fictional. “I can’t come up with any reason/ Why a ghost is following me,” he exasperatedly admits on “At My Heels,” articulating how unrecognizable forms can return to haunt us. “They’ll give us so much to forget,” he concludes on the titletrack. Luckily, this haunting’s wrapped in ’80s

pop sonics so, just like the disco era, it’s all about dancing, celebrating and forgetting the facts. eLLiott SharP 6pm. $15. With Diamond Rings. Bamboo Bar, 927 Delaware Ave. bamboobarphilly.com

Philly Naked Bike Ride It’s upon us once again! Time for bike riders to strip off their clothes and ride naked through the streets of Philadelphia. Started in 2009, the Philly Naked Bike ride is an event to promote cycling advocacy, positive body image, economic sustainability, and raise awareness about fuel consumption and the environmental impact of cars. Riders of all skill levels are invited to join; the amount of skin you show is completely up to you. Riders can sign up on the website or join the Facebook event to find out the meeting place and time. Body paint will be supplied and there will be a party at the end of the journey. Why not spend a Sunday evening feeling a breeze between your knees?

Let the sun shine on your behind as you and riders from around the city pass bystanders in a blur of balls and body paint. SyDney SCott 5-8pm. Free. Sign Up for Location. phillynakedbikeride.org

Ozomatli

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

Ozomatli’s infectious grooves fill the room like the smell of backyard BBQ, imploring listeners to shift their ass out of neutral. For 16 years, the L.A. crew’s blended Latin, dance, funk, hiphop and rock into lively confections balancing head-bobbing melodies and hip-shaking rhythms. Their indefatigable energy’s hypnotic and the party’s never-ending. They’re the band you’re most likely to find playing at 4 a.m. some Jazzfest weekend, conga line winding past you as you enter the bar. After the overlypolished R&B/dance of 2007’s Don’t Mess With the Dragon they returned to the rock with arguably their finest album to date, last year’s eclectic Fire Away. Here, they’re the highlight of a three-day Labor Day weekend blow-out featuring more than 50 acts. ChriS Parker 8:30pm. $30-$35.

The Rockys

• 18

Take a break from the hot coals of your grill this Labor Day and enjoy a free night of Philadelphia’s best dancers. The Rocky Awards celebrate the work of Philadelphia’s

best dancers by having industry peers select the winners each year. Unlike many awards, The Rockys take a more “generational” approach to distributing honors: The previous year’s winners have the privilege of selecting the recipients of the next year’s awards.

This year’s ceremony will include performances by alternative-performance troupe anonymous bodies, the wonderfully campy cabaret singer Martha Graham Cracker, 2010 Rocky-winner Gabrielle Revlock, and others.

If you’re inspired to move after an evening of great performances, a dance party will follow the award ceremony. Get down and break a sweat. Darren White 8pm. Free. Ruba Club, 414 Green St. 215.922.5970. danceusaphiladelphia.org

Vivian Girls Brooklyn’s Vivian Girls are a spinning top with a whirling blur of lo-fi guitar distortion shrouding twee melodies and girl group harmonies. Inspired by early ’90s Slumberland Records artists Velocity Girl, Small Factory and Black Tambourine, their sound’s roughhewn and noisy but bubblegum sweet. What warmth exists resides mostly with frontwoman Cassie Ramone’s thin, reedy vocals, buffeted by the maelstrom surrounding her.

On its own Ramone’s keening tone might pucker your face like a sourball, but against their grimy squall it shines like a beacon.

After slumping badly on sophomore effort Everything Goes Wrong, they bounced back with Share The Joy, showcasing better writing, more texture and a little more musical diversity. C.P. 9pm. $10-$12. With Widowspeak + Ninjessa.

Aspects of Love Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Aspect of Love opens the 203rd anniversary season of the Walnut Street Theater. This Tony nominated musical is best known for the hauntingly beautiful song “Love is Everything.” It is based on the novel of the same name by David Garnett, who scandalized Virginia Woolf by marrying her niece 26 years his junior. The show examines different types of love—romantic, long time married, parent-child, and lesbianism. The story, which spans 20 years, is set against the background of 1940’s France and Italy. Alex Dillingham, a young student traveling through Europe, falls in love with an alluring actress, Rose Vibert. As the pair embarks on a passionate affair, the unexpected arrival of Alex’s uncle changes their lives forever. Laura GoLDman Through Oct. 23.

Chicken Fried Steak at Honey’s Sit ’N Eat

Monkey Business

By Cristina Perachio feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Chicken Fried steak at Honey’s, you are quite the southern dish!

Aw, jeez—you know I came to Philadelphia all the way from sleepy Sherman, Texas, with owner Jeb Woody. When he moved to Philadelphia and craved the CFS of his childhood, all he got was processed, freezer-to-fryer imitations. It was his duty to bring real, southern Chicken Fried Steak to the North if only so he could enjoy his own breakfast. so what makes you the best CFs in these parts?

Simplicity. My only ingredients are flour, salt, pepper, egg and, of course, steak.

Jeb uses a strip steak run through a machine that punctures and pulverizes to tenderize. I’m then flattened out pancake-size with a mallet before I’m dipped in batter. CFS is the London Broil of the South, so it needs a bit more care.

Made to order every time?

Oh yes, honey. Every single time. Even at noon on a Sunday, at our busiest, I’m hand battered.

You can be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which do you prefer?

Well, Jeb likes me served as breakfast but not necessarily for breakfast: any time of day with two eggs over easy, gravy and Honey’s biscuits, which are dense, not flaky, and a bit sweet.

What do you have to say to northerners who aren’t partial to the taste of Chicken Fried steak?

If it comes from IHOP, it ain’t Chicken Fried Steak. Do yourself a favor and try the real thing before you make up your mind. n

Traces of Death: This high-energy show tells the story of our last days on earth, with amazing stunts.

Miss Interpretation: Lady M is kind of like Macbeth, but from the queen's persepective.

It can be a daunting task deciding what to see from among the nearly 200 productions at this year’s Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe. To help you out, we’re offering our recommendations for shows that you should put at the top of your must-see list.

Lady M

Whale Optics

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

There are many reasons why Live Arts & Fringe has developed into the behemoth success it is today. One of those reasons is Thaddeus Phillips, performer/director/designer/ playwright. This year, Phillips’ company Lucidity Suitcase Intercontinental is presenting the world premiere of Whale Optics, an epic work that connects such seemingly disparate topics as whale songs, Carl Sagan, telecommunications systems and Applebee’s. The story follows two characters who never meet; a New Jersey resident who works with optics and a composer who Phillips says “may or may not be an epic adventurer.” If you are a fan of Phillips, Whale promises to be one of his most unique and intellectually invigorating works. (J. Cooper Robb) Sept. 1-10. $20-$30. Prince Music Theatre, 1412 Chestnut St.

Traces

• 24

Though it may be difficult, imagine for a moment a circus without the elaborate costumes, bizarre characters and special effects. Could watching real people mastering very unreal physical fetes be even more enthralling? With Traces, the Montreal-based circus company, 7 Fingers (Les 7 Doigts de la Main) removes all the unnecessary extravagance you’d expect from Cirque du Soleil or Ringling Brothers, offering a high-energy, yet equally thoughtful and humorous show. The story begins with a catastrophe and continues through what they believe are their last moments on earth. As their stunts become more daring, the seemingly inhuman element of it all grows more intensely personal. (Nicole Finkbiner) Sept. 15-18. Various times. $15-$55. Merriam Theater, 250 S. Broad St.

true stories—stories that they normally wouldn’t dare tell in public. Today, RISK! is a live show held monthly in both Hollywood and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in N.Y.C. as well as a popular weekly podcast. Past guests have included Nick Swardson, Sarah Silverman, Adam McKay, Lisa Lampanelli and Michael Showalter. Their awardwinning, one-night only show and live taping here in Philly will feature several brave local storytellers and even few surprise guests from the Big Apple. Some of the stories may be hilarious, others horrific. Yet, nothing is off limits. (N.F.) Sat., Sept. 10, 8 and 10pm. $20. The Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St.

This year, the enterprising company Swim Pony presents Lady M, which director Adrienne Mackey (who along with actor Catharine Slusar conceived the project) describes as a reaction to Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth. Mackey (who confides that she usually finds Shakespeare’s plays “boring to watch”) says she was attracted to the idea of seeing the plot of Macbeth from Lady Macbeth’s perspective. In Swim Pony’s play, Lady M is the one who summons the witches to in Mackey’s words “help her become more than she is.” Featuring an all-star, all-female Philly cast, Mackey says the work is like “watching an athlete on the verge of collapse—visceral, dirty, and so intense you almost feel yourself standing up to scream back at what’s happening.”

Theatergoers with acute anxiety disorder may be excused from attending. (J.C.R.) Sept. 1-9, 7pm. $20-$25. Arts Bank, 601 S. Broad St.

Heavy Metal Dance Fag Philly Fringe favorites Tribe of Fools returns with a satire exploring identity, sexuality and gender roles. Fag is the story of South Philly dock worker and dance fiend Timmy Bagley (played by Fools’ artistic director Terry Brennan, who also directs) whose love of dancing causes some consternation among his macho buddies. Brennan says the show was inspired by a moment when he let loose with a “Michael Jackson style spin and kick” while lifting weights at a South Philly Gym. The move drew hostile stares from his fellow gym rats. The incident led to the creation of Fag, which uses dance and the hair-metal music of the 1980s to explore the impact people’s perceptions about us have on our own sense of self. (J.C.R.) Sept. 1-11. $20. St. Stephen’s Theater, 923 Ludlow St.

RISK! True Tales Boldly Told Creator and host Kevin Allison began his comedy career on the MTV sketch series The State. It was while he was doing a solo show in 2009 that fellow cast mate Michael Ian Black recommended he start telling his own stories on stage. Quickly discovering how cathartic this was, he decided to invite other people on stage to share their own

While shows like American Idol claim to be discovering the greatest unknown voices of this generation and Kanye West actually claims to be said voice, there’s two Penn grad students who beg to differ. Composition doctoral students Tony Solitro and Scott Ordway have put together a free concert featuring seven up-and-coming local composers under the age of 35. In hopes of redefining contemporary vocal music—or at least how it’s perceived by younger audiences— they’re inviting people to come dressed as casually as they please, booze of choice in tow. Following the theme “Love Lost,” the concert’s eclectic mix of music includes Solitro’s award-winning piece War Wedding, which portrays a sensuous wedding night during a savage war, and Telsa’s Pigeon, fellow Penn doctoral student Melissa Dunphy’s song cycle about a girl’s bizarre relationship with a pigeon. (N.F.) Sept. 17-18. Various times. Free. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St.

Wawapalooza 5: Under Destruction After four straight sold-out Fringe shows, the comedy film and theater production company IdRatherBeHere is returning to unleash its fifth Wawapalooza installment.

Described by director Bonnie Quick as “the Portlandia of Philadelphia,” the 75-minute show includes 10 short sketches and three short films. As always, the comedy team will highlight everyday things folks here in the Philly region can relate to, then proceed to poke fun at them. On the long list of inane topics they’ll be tacking this year: weird old men in laundromats, atheism, lame bachelor parties, the Apple store and crazy, new-age parents. IdRatherBeHere was formed by a group of childhood friends near a Wawa in South Jersey back in 2006. Now nine members strong, the group of writers, actors and filmmakers has performed at venues across the city to rave reviews. For those of you dying to know just how bad “Philly Fan Tourrette’s Syndrome” can get, they’re going to show you. (N.F.) Sept. 2-4, 9-10, 16-17, 8pm. $15. Society Hill Playhouse, 507 S. Eighth St.

Fresh Laughs The Philly Improv Theater will be unveiling its two newest house teams to Fringe audiences: Hey Rube and ZaoGao. Directed by improv vets Kristen Schier and Matt Holmes, the nine-member teams include some new faces in the local scene as well as a few familiar ones like Aaron Hertzog, host of the monthly stand-up show Hey Everybody! and last year’s runner-up in Helium’s Philly’s Phunniest Person Competition and Bob Thompson, one-half of the sketch duo The Feeko Brothers, the sick minds behind Philly’s 2010 ‘Dirtiest Sketch.’ All four will be performing throughout the festival, each guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind, pissyour-pants performance. (N.F.) n Sept. 2-3, 8, 11, 17. Various times. $15. The Adrienne Theater, 2030 Sansom St.

Now you see it: Rob Wynne’s In Cog Nito is studded with language.

First Friday Picks

By Katherine Rochester

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Hadassa Goldvicht at Marginal Utility Taking the Lord’s name in vein, using religious metaphors, saying, “Bless you” after someone sneezes—this is the stuff of stealth ceremony and the subject of Jerusalem- and New York-based Israeli artist Hadassa Goldvicht’s second show at Marginal Utility.

“Rights of Passage” is a multi-channel video composition exploring Ultra Orthodox and Hassidic lingual rites of passage as they crop up in daily routines. Traditionally, rights of passage stand as markers for progress.

Rejecting such linear, universal benchmarks, Goldvicht’s installation reveals simultaneity in ritual, regression as well as progression.

Inherited from a tradition of bodily effacement in the name of a cleaner, purer religious subject, “Rights of Passage” reveals the body as the site of compulsive ritual. In Goldvicht’s work, rights of passage sanctioned by religious ceremonies dissolve into infinitesimal, behavioral ticks enacted in the continuous moment of being alive.

"French For Today's World"

Miss Rockaway Armada at the Philadelphia Art Alliance It hatched by the river, and has since burst forth in a multilayered, multipurpose sculpture cum sea-faring vessel. As a wondrous armada of rafts fashioned from junk of all varieties, “Let Me Tell You About a Dream I Had” is Miss Rockaway Armada’s newest campaign to model sustainable living with a punk-rock crust. Commissioned by the Philadelphia Art Alliance as part of the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative, the project is conceived as a procession of parades, picnics and performances throughout the summer, coming to rest in the form of a static exhibition at the Art Alliance galleries on Sept. 30.

Self-described as “a small group of people with extensive experience making big insane projects,” the Miss Rockaway Armada knows how to carve up castaways to create raucous performances with an off-the-grid ethos.

Like any summer blockbuster, their rafts are transformers, morphing from river raft to parade float depending on the situation at hand. Best known for sailing down the Mississippi river while performing a multitude of variety shows in cities along the way, the ecofriendly flotilla has pitched their anchor in the Schuylkill. “Let Me Tell You About a Dream I Had” is a site-specific project native to Philadelphia—a city with enough interesting trash and can-do creativity to catch the attention of even the most advanced gleaners. n

Philadelphia-based Neya Grassi’s paintings from 2001–2011 are like slow food—carefully belabored to fortifying effect. In her solo exhibition, Rose Gatherer, hieroglyphics emerge from highly gessoed ground; faint shapes peek out from veils of gloaming color; delicate washes swirl into grave vortices. The effect is contemplative and cumulative, a mirror, perhaps, of the time spent creating each painting (up to a year). Looking at a Grassi is akin to pondering a rose beneath a storm cloud as you craft a haiku. Hard to visualize? Just go see it. Swerving sharply away from abstraction, Rob Wynne’s exhibition, In Cog Nito, is studded with language. Spanning works from the 1970s to present day, In Cog Nito explores the relationship between text and representation via embroidery, collage, sculpture and print. With a distinct resemblance to gilt puffy paint, a recent suite of poured glass

sculptures spur a free-associative chain of possible meanings despite their literal enunciation. Linked by their deference to poetry (Grassi’s title is plucked from a Rainer Maria Rilke poem), both Grassi’s and Wynne’s exhibitions are accompanied by catalogue essays from eminent poets or scholars of the craft.

Grouped Together

Six Directors of Best Picture Winners Who Failed to Follow Up

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy is more like a group hug.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Harry Beaumont, The Broadway Melody (1929): Best Picture winners tend to be safe choices, which is why you likely know who directed them. But you’ve probably never heard of Harry Beaumont. A workhorse who made nearly 100 films, he enjoyed his biggest successes during the silent era, including vehicles for John Barrymore (Beau Brummel, 1924) and Joan Crawford (Our Dancing Daughters, 1928). He also directed The Broadway Melody, the first sound film to win Best Picture. But though he worked until 1948, most of his films have, like his name, been forgotten.

Jerome Robbins, West Side Story (1961): Unlike others on this list, Robbins never petered out; he literally never directed again. Having staged the Broadway version of Leonard Bernstein’s Romeo and Juliet riff, he was brought on as co-director with Robert Wise. The two clashed, Robbins proved difficult and he was quickly fired.

However, Wise insisted he retain a co-director’s credit. And that’s why Jerome Robbins is an Oscarwinning director and Alfred Hitchcock is not.

Carol Reed, Oliver! (1968): By the time he mounted this frivolous Dickens musical, Reed’s reputation was secure: He was the masterful artisttechnician of Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol and The Third Man. But after belatedly receiving his Oscar, he stumbled through two disliked films— Flap and Follow Me!—then, spent, simply retired.

Michael Cimino, The Deer Hunter (1978):

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

With The Deer Hunter, Cimino had the world at his feet. Then he made Heaven’s Gate. (For the record, Gate isn’t at all terrible. Unwieldy, sure, but sometimes able to actually live up to its wild ambitions. Still, it would be hard for anyone to emerge underneath such an apocalyptic production; read Steven Bach’s The Final Cut for more.)

Kevin Costner, Dances With Wolves (1990): Whoops!

John Madden, Shakespeare in Love (1998):

•

This Miramax production may have stolen Saving Private Ryan’s Best Picture Oscar, but Steven Spielberg still got his for directing. Shakepeare’s director, meanwhile, proceeded Shakespeare in Love to one indifferentlyreceived project after another: Captain Correli’s Mandolin, Proof and the long shelved and barely released Killshot. The Debt was also long delayed, but is, for the record, basically competent.

Lake Bell’s Allison is a therapist who’s more high-strung and neurotic than her patients, a tired trope that’s emblematic of Gregory’s and Huyck’s one-note, lame gag approach to character construction.

The first thing you’ll notice is that these folks all seem a bit long in the tooth to spend every weekend whooping it up like teenagers at a party spot owned by somebody’s dad.

There are signs of encroaching maturity on the outskirts of the clique, with too-brief turns

by Will Forte and Lucy Punch as a newlywed couple trying to juggle parenthood with all these party obligations. The bomb finally drops when Eric’s old man (a lovingly sleazy cameo by Don Johnson) decides to put his summer house on the market.

Every his old high school friends, who in one liner is followed by at least 10 seconds of dead air, the interest of screenwriting efficiency have each been granted exactly one personality trait. There’s party animal as if the filmmakers were afraid the audiences’ laughter would drown out whatever followed. This means even the McCrudden, played by Tyler Labine as a fat guy who falls few halfway decent jokes are left hanging in the air like down a lot. (Labine comes off as a poor man’s Jack Black, stale farts. which is a very poor thing indeed.) Michelle Borth’s Sue I guess you can give Gregory and Huyck credit for not has had a thing for Eric since high school, so she spends chickening out on the orgy itself. Too bad every coupling every waking moment staring at Sudekis with puppy dog results in a neat, tidy resolution to an underdeveloped eyes, yet the numbskull never notices. Laura (Lindsey subplot. Forget all the messiness of sex or complicated Sloane) is shy, and that’s about it for her. emotions, and don’t even think about anything vaguely Nick Kroll’s nerdy Adam is usually glued to his Blackerotic or transgressive.

Q&A With

slow. We spent a lot of time waiting around and shooting BB guns and not getting done what we could have.

Dr. Dog’s Toby Leaman

Is there an album title?

We were gonna call it “Mysteries,” but decided that wasn’t indicative of what was going on while we were making the record, which isn’t very mysterious. Now we’re kicking around “These Days,” so you’ll get the record and it will say “Dr. Dog These Days.” Because it’s what Dr. Dog is doing these days, you know? It’s pretty self-explanatory, actually.

[Laughs.]

With a big show and album on the horizon, we get a progress report.

music

How many songs did you start with?

We had a ton of stuff going in. We recorded about 25 songs and will mix about 21. We’re in a conundrum right now trying to figure out which songs to keep. I don’t know what to do.

By Elliott Sharp feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com michael persico

Toby Leaman

Philly’s Dr. Dog headline this weekend’s WHYY Connections Festival, and head out for a short tour in November.

They’re currently working in their Kensington studio on a follow-up to 2010’s critically acclaimed Shame Shame, and this seventh album—tentatively titled These Days—is scheduled for a mid-January release on ANTI-. We caught up with bassist Toby Leaman to get a progress report.

I heard you were considering working with producer Ben Allen. That happen?

No. We did a few songs with him that turned out great, but the logistics didn’t work out: It would’ve meant going to Atlanta for the summer. We tried recording away from home last time and it didn’t go very well. Since we’re touring already, we didn’t want to record on the road. Also, it’s our first record with two new members [sixth man Dimitri Manos and drummer Eric Slick], so we wanted to see what we could do on our own with the new lineup. We didn’t want to work within somebody else’s idea of what the band is since it has changed. So we’re working in our studio in Kensington, which we didn’t think we’d do again.

You’ve been writing with Scott McMicken for 20 years now. How have you both changed as songwriters?

He’s grown exponentially. He has a level of introspection most people may experience but are incapable of verbalizing. He can connect words to emotional experiences that, for most of us, remain vague and unreachable. My words are less jagged and inaccessible. I’ve learned how to cut the fat, and my songs are more structurally sound and friendlier to the ear. There’s much less angst now.

I heard the record’s more upbeat than usual.

Yeah. The making of Shame was such a drag, so the songs we gravitated to were in the mood of, “Oh, I’m fucked.” That was the attitude then, but now I wanna write songs that make me feel good. There’s nothing to gain from singing songs every night that are like, “Oh my god, I’m so confused!” and, “Oh, my life is a mess!” I’d rather play affirming songs. We’ve always written about the ether or the miasma or whatever the fuck you wanna call it, but this one’s certainly sonically more upbeat. There are still some downers that people might not notice until they read the lyrics, and then they’ll be like, “Oh, this guy’s a fucking mess!” [Laughs.]

What’s led to this happier place?

We’re all getting along, and with the addition of Dimitri and Eric, it’s all very exciting. Dr. Dog’s a slow-burner.

We’ve never had any hype, or push, or a hit song. It’s been a gradual burn, slowly playing for more and more people and continuing to make records. We’ve always had an underdog attitude—like we’re sorta just hanging around—but we’ve always been really confident in our abilities. We think we’re capable of being the best band in the world. n

•

So the Shame experience also led to the decision to do it yourselves?

Definitely. We realized we’re much more comfortable working by ourselves. There’s such a learning curve for even the vocabulary of what you want something to sound like. We all know what we mean when we say “woody” or “cloudy,” but it’s hard to explain that to someone. Also, when we were in Woodstock working on Shame, things were moving too

What’s one of your favorite songs?

There’s one called “Lonesome” that’s a deconstruction of Hank Williams Sr.’s “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” But the character in our song’s totally fine. The chorus is like “What does it take to be lonesome?/ Nothing at all,” and each verse is a deconstruction of the Hank’s original words. The third verse is, “The moon can do what he pleases/ He can cry so much he sneezes/ And if a falling star falls from the sky/ I’ll pick up the pieces.”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

My Morning Jacket played the Mann last week. Jim James was a guest on Shame. Did he stop by to drop something on your new album?

[Laughs.] No, but we were joking about having him come in.

Last time it was the exact same situation, though, where we were mixing and he was in town.

Double LP! [Laughs.] We were told multiple times “NO DOUBLE LP!” I’m also a firm believer of keeping albums under 40 minutes, but I don’t know what we’re gonna do with this one.

They’re all album material. It’s gonna be tough.

Main Manu Manu Chao makes his way to Philly—finally.

By Emma Eisenberg feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com pooneh ghana

I f Che Guevara is a symbol of a rebellious life all about independence, cross cultural learning and political revolution, Manu Chao is that life’s soundtrack.

Spanish-born/ French-bred Manu Chao emerged in the French alternative scene with the explosive Afro-Latino-rock band Mano Negra. Heavily invested in music that belonged to people in the streets, Chao went solo in 1995 and released his first solo album Clandestino in 1998, recording it with only a tiny portable studio while he roamed the streets of Latin America. He’s gone on to record five full-length albums, including the Latin Grammy award-winning La Radiolina. He sings in more than seven languages, enacting unlikely cross-genre marriages from traditions as diverse as punk, rock, French chanson, Iberoamerican salsa, reggae, ska, and Algerian raï. His newest work, Baionarena, is a 33-track live album recorded in Bayonne, France. PW caught up with Manu Chao before he left Barcelona for his American tour.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY August 31 - September 6, 2011

Its been a while since you’ve visited us in the United States. Are you excited for the American tour?

Last year, we toured the West Coast, so of course we need to come and visit the East Coast now. It was way too much overdue. It’s been a long time without playing in the area, so there are lots of friends around and good remembering to be had ... And [my touring band] has been traveling

together for such a long time now, it’s kind of a family affair.

The relations between us [band members] are really strong.

Traveling, playing around, it’s a big pleasure for all of us to be together ... And it’s a great opportunity to be able to come back now to Philadelphia. It means a lot to come back, for sure.

Your new album was recorded live. Does that change its nature or make it different from your other records?

We recorded it at the end of my European tour [in 2008].

There is something different about it, recording live. The most important thing is the energy. But for the show [in Philadelphia] we’ll play songs from all my albums, some from the times of Mano Negra, and some very new songs that have never been released in the U.S. What inspirations or influences were you working with in writing these new songs?

The inspirations are very diversified. I spent lots of time in South America and Brazil over the last two or three years, so there are lots of new songs in Portuguese. I have also been living in Barcelona which has influenced me a lot. And Rumba music! But I take inspiration from lots of different countries. My new sound is a mix between hardcore reggae and rock ’n’ roll.

Hercules & Love Affair

Blue Songs (Moshi Moshi) Sounds Like: Dancefloor misfits led by

Andy Butler return with new personnel (sadly, no Antony Hegarty) and house tracks with heavy-handed late-’80s club vibes.

Free Association: OK, it’s not the selftitled gem from 2008, but we needed somethin’.

For Fans Of: Chicago house, Liquid Liquid x Chic, parachute pants, vogue raves.

Maria Taylor

Overlook (Saddle Creek) Sounds Like: Formerly one half of Azure

Ray, the 35-year-old Alabaman’s a sage, matured and sophisticated voice on this band-supported excellent fourth solo LP. Free Association: A Saddle Creek LP sounding NOTHING like Conor Oberst— success!

For Fans Of: Orenda Fink, Beth Orton x Liz Phair, country girls, aging tastefully.

Zakee

Assimilations (ILG/Green Owl) Sounds Like: Brilliant debut of

What other projects do you have on your horizon?

I’ve been doing recordings with a Catholic [psychiatric] hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina, La Colifata. We did an album together, Viva La Colifata, which is available for free download. I got to be with so many great people there, I’m sure we will do more recordings.

Philly-raised Zakee Kuduro’s Brazilianinfluenced collage of sound; afro-beat, hip-hop, electro and world music in his silky delivery.

Free Association: A super-refreshing and exciting new Philly voice on the rise.

For Fans Of: TV On the Radio x the Weeknd, the Very Best expounding on weed.

What music do you listen to while you’re on tour?

I always go back to the roots, maybe from Africa, maybe from Europe, maybe from South America ... I take my lessons from the roots and traditional music. I like music that doesn’t sound so produced. I like to listen to something from the old times to put my attention on something completely different from touring. n

Wavepool Abortion

Manu Chao performs Fri., Sept. 2, 8pm. $35. Festival Pier at Penn’s Landing, Columbus Blvd. and Spring Garden St. 215.629.3200. livenation.com

Wavepool Abortion (DZ Tapes) Sounds Like: Two Russian teens’ debut,

singing in English because they love the Beatles (and the Ramones); a solid effort of sludgy, charmingly poppy proto-punk.

Free Association: Kids putting out great records before hitting 18 is only a lil’ depressing.

For Fans Of: Iceage x Buddy Holly, No Age/Liars, Putin’s pecks, Sputnik.

Dom

Family of Love [EP] (Astralwerks) Sounds Like: Worcester, Mass., wayfar-

Critic's Pick The Weepies The Weepies are American counterparts to the Swell Season. Like the European stars of Once, Deb Tallen and Steve Tannen had launched solo careers before meeting at a Boston bar a decade ago and uniting in a supple folkpop duo. The shared craft sparked romance and, unlike the Swell Season, they remain a couple. Their songs are generally driven by major chord acoustic melodies with tender boy/girl harmonies and surprising texture that differentiates them from your typical folk outfit. (They make subtle but effective use of backing instrumentation across their four albums.) Indeed at times they’ll even rock out, as on slinky garage rave-up “How Do You Get High?” off their latest, Be My Thrill. It demonstrates their continued musical evolution while retaining the homey, affectless intimacy and the gosh-darn sweetness of those initial efforts. For this special performance they’ve eschewed the band, paring down to a trio with acoustic guitars, dulcet vocals and upright bass. (Chris Parker) Fri., Sept. 2, 8pm. $17. Theater of the Living Arts, 334 South St. 215.922.1011. tlaphilly.com

ers’ second EP (no LP yet) isn’t quite the brilliance of their debut, but it’s lively, poppy and intoxicating garage rock nonetheless.

Free Association: Pitchfork perfect!

Quirky story, lazy/hazy aesthetic, lo-fi and ironic.

For Fans Of: MGMT x Girls, Cults + Passion Pit, bands who love weed and ecstasy.

Lotus

Lotus (Sci Fidelity) Sounds Like: The Indiana-bred Philly-

•

settled foursome specialize in inoffensive, adult-tempered jammy electro-jazz with grooves, instrumentals and samples.

Free Association: Imagine the disappointment upon realizing this is NOT Flying Lotus.

For Fans Of: Tortoise x the Orb + Phish, Trans Am, working-from-home soundtracks.

Where Men Meet Men

SavageLove

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net

I’m in a bad place. I have been in a monogamous marriage for 19 years and have two kids.

At least I think we’re still monogamous. My husband is an avid reader of your column and loves to bring up the idea that it is perfectly normal to have outside sexual relationships with other people as long as you stay committed to your spouse.

Here’s the thing: We started our marriage saying that we would always be truthful and faithful to each other. He has changed and I haven’t. I’m GGG, he probably gets more blowjobs than most married men, and I love having sex with him. He is far less likely to initiate sex than I am (which makes me think he is spending time with someone else). If one partner decides that they need outside activity, regardless of how much sex they get at home, is it OK to go ahead and do that without informing the partner who they had previously made a monogamous commitment to? He thinks if my needs are being met, then I have nothing to complain about. My main need is for honesty, and it doesn’t feel like that need is being met.

When I ask him if he is having affairs, he gets angry and accuses me of being insecure and immature. (I would like to know if I’m at risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection.)

He says you agree with him that it is OK to lie if the other person has their needs met and doesn’t find out. I am at my wit’s end and am deeply unhappy and think about leaving him, but I don’t want to end a relationship that works in so many other ways.

Lonely At Home Before I can answer your question, LAH, give me a second to spit out all the words your husband has stuffed into my mouth.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhcckk—p’toooo.

OK, LAH, here’s a little something I recently wrote that sums up my position on outside sexual relationships: “Cheating is permissible when it amounts to the least worst option, i.e., it is allowed for someone who has made a monogamous commitment and isn’t getting any at home (sick or disabled spouse, or withholding-withoutcause spouse) and divorce isn’t an option (sick or disabled spouse, or withholding-without-causespouse-who-can’t-be-divorced-for-some-karmaimperiling-reason-or-other) and the sex on the side makes it possible for the cheater to stay married and stay sane. (An exception can be made for a married person with a kink that his or her spouse can’t/won’t accommodate, so long as the kink can be taken care of safely and discreetly.)”

As you are not sick, disabled or withholding without cause, LAH, and as your husband doesn’t have a kink that he’s outsourcing to spare you, please tell your husband on my behalf that I think he’s a cheating piece of shit, a word-stuffing douchebag and an emotionally abusive asshole.

Mr. LAH may read my column avidly, but his behavior and lame rationalizations indicate that he’s also reading it selectively. If your husband walked into my office, LAH, I would be tempted to slap him with my laptop.

It is, of course, perfectly normal for people who’ve made monogamous commitments to want to have outside sexual relationships. It’s perfectly normal to daydream about fucking other people, to masturbate to thoughts of fucking other people, to check out other people who you would be fucking if (1) you weren’t in a monogamous relationship, and (2) they wanted to fuck you.

And it’s perfectly ridiculous the way people make themselves miserable scrutinizing their partners for evidence that they want to fuck other people.

(Jealous types, please note: Your partner sometimes thinks about fucking other people, just like you sometimes think about fucking other people.

Going ballistic over a little discreet and considerate porn use or meaningless flirting is an idiotic waste of your time, it’s unfair to your partner, and I consider it grounds for DTMFA’ing your ass.)

That said, LAH, it is perfectly obnoxious to go ahead and fuck other people in violation of a monogamous commitment unless you have grounds.

And while it doesn’t sound like your husband has grounds, it certainly sounds like he’s fucking other people. I suspect that your husband is fucking someone you know—a coworker, a neighbor, a friend, a relative (shudder)—and, realizing that it’s only a matter of time before you find out, he’s bullying you into retroactively giving him permission to fuck other people and unfairly dragging me into it.

In your shoes, LAH, I’d be thinking about DTMFA. Not because of the cheating—monogamy isn’t important to me—but because of the lying and the bullying.

I grew up masturbating in the digital age.

So in any given week, I get off on “Wincest,” hypnosis porn, and erotic literature involving cat people. I’m also a young husband who’s gone a few years past your recommended date for laying down his kink cards. I’ve been deliberating whether to out myself to my wife, but there’s a rub: The last time she found out I had masturbated to someone other than her, she hit me. I cried and swore I would never look at porn again. Of course I just became more careful about hiding it.

Is there a limit on the necessitated disclosure of my wet dreams? I don’t have to tell her the one where I’m having sex with her best friend while she, having been turned into a dog, looks on stupidly, right? Can I settle for “I masturbate to women who aren’t you”?

Wife Abusive, Not Kinky Fuck full disclosure, WANK. Your wife can’t deal with you masturbating about others and she hits you? DTMFA.

I’m a 50-year-old married man with adult children. My wife and I live under the same roof but sleep in separate bedrooms. We have become roommates. Perhaps we will stay together, or perhaps we’ll divorce once the housing market improves and we have a slightly bigger pie to cut in half. But we hardly talk and never have sex. Where does a man in my situation find women to have sex with and spend time with? I don’t mean an escort or a hooker.

It’s not all about the sex act for me. I tried some websites like AshleyMadison.com and SugarDaddy.com with no luck. Do you think there are women out there who are single or divorced and would enjoy being treated like a queen by a healthy, respectful, decent-looking man who is technically married?

Please Help Me I know there are women out there who would be up for what you have to offer, PHM, because I get letters from them all the time. Some of these women are in the same boat you are—married in name only and looking for some companionship and intimacy. If you didn’t find one during your first Internet search, my advice is to keep looking.

And Mr. and Mrs. LAH? PHM’s situation is a good example of a circumstance under which cheating is not only permissible, it’s not even cheating. He may be married, technically and legally, but the sexual dimension of his marriage is over. He is in no way betraying his wife, or putting her at risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection, when he seeks outside sexual relationships.

Can you see the difference between what you’re doing, Mr. LAH, and what PHM is doing? n
