Feedback Ron Ron Juice Regarding Tara Murtha’s article about the Ron Paul tent at Occupy Philly: Other than being part of the 99 percent, what else must an individual do to be included in the Occupy Movement? Is there now a litmus test of single issues as well? If one’s faith guides them to a position that abortion is the equivalent of murder are they no longer welcomed by OWS? If they believe that solutions other than government mandates exist to help those most disadvantaged (i.e. against minimum wage), are they not welcomed by OWS? Is OWS the movement of the 99 percent, or those in the 99 percent who adhere to specific views and beliefs?

If you don’t believe the changes at Stetson MS go walk the hallways and see the students in their classrooms engaged in meaningful educational pusuits. Was that happening under the school district? I agree that not all charters are good but don’t paint them all with the same brush.

Deputy Dawg

About a Boy

PW sits down with Managing Director Rich Negrin.

By Daniel Rackley feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com the Mayor’s Office to make a very strong statement. In the vein of personal responsibility. Of appealing to parents in terms of tone and what we we’re going to tolerate as a city. The youth curfew has worked hand-in-hand with that. The increased police presence is another part that goes beyond the curfew. We need to engage the nonprofit community and neighborhood watches to do their part as well.

A few weeks ago, you posted a picture from your office window of some of the members of the Occupy Philly movement. Does being so close to the protesters inspire you to work harder for change on the municipal side of things?

Right-hand-man: Deputy Mayor Rich Negrin.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

Following a short stint in the NFL, Deputy Mayor and Managing Director Rich Negrin has come quite a long way. He’s been entrenched in Philadelphia government for some time now, having worked as an Assistant D.A. and serving as executive director of the beleagured BRT. Now, he’s one of Mayor Nutter’s right-hand people. PW sat down with Negrin to discuss the ubiquitous Occupy Philly movement, Nutter’s second term in office and more.

What do you think is going to be one of the mayor’s top priorities in his second term?

• 4

One of the things we want to do is something about illegal guns in Philadelphia.

Overall homicides and the number of violent crimes are down. We’re doing a fantastic job there but it’s not good enough.

One is too many and this mayor gets that.

I lost my father to a MAC-10 submachine gun that you can still buy on the Internet today. I was there and watched my father die and held him in my arms as he passed away. There’s kids just like me out there in the streets of Philadelphia watching their loved ones die. We all need to work together to make it so that it’s really uncool to have a gun.

The mayor has used the bully pulpit of

I don’t think a whole lot of folks understand how I feel generally about them.

Some folks have a tendency to see it as an us-against-them mentality.

And that’s not how we feel at all. One of the things I like about them is that they are Philadelphians. So whether or not you like or agree with what they stand for; it’s almost irrelevant. Because they are citizens of Philadelphia and they deserve my best every single day just like everyone else. The concerns I have had with them are issues that directly impact their safety. I’m concerned about the possibility of things like a fire.

There are people down there with medical conditions. So I think being close to them and being able to see them keeps that in my head all the time. That’s the big concern ... if something was to go wrong.

What do you think that the city hopes to accomplish between city officials and members of the Occupy Philly movement?

Just an open communication. You know, the conditions change there on almost a daily basis. We have a mechanism in place when both sides sit down where they can address issues on their side; and we can on ours.

And then things can be taken to the General Assembly to be voted on in due course in a manner that is fairly efficient.

How do you think other cities that

are dealing with Occupy movements of their own could learn from what was done here in Philadelphia?

I think our approach has been interesting. The day before they started setting up, we met with some of their leaders and the Mayor’s Office. To my knowledge, no other city had done that. So we started to set up a line of communication early on. As the movement developed, we’ve worked very hard not to create unnecessary conflict with the police. So when they do marches or sit-ins, we only use the amount of force required to fulfill what’s absolutely legally necessary. So when they blocked the street in front of the police administration building, we waited as long as we could possibly wait. There are a lot of different ways to make a statement; some feel like they have to get arrested. And I think the arrests at the Comcast building were an example of that.

They were peaceful. I heard from the police that some of the protesters were thanking them for their professional and courteous manner while they were being arrested.

Which is pretty interesting. Because all you need is one person acting irrationally on either side and you could have a very different situation. I don’t like having arrests, but if it is going to happen I’m proud of the way they are occurring.

Do you think that the Occupy Philly movement is going to benefit the city in the long run?

I think that depends on what comes out of all this. A year from now and we’ll see the Occupy movement having a more defined role. I think they are still figuring out who they are. It’s about issues that Mayor Nutter has been beating the drum on for some time. It’s about jobs, it’s about poverty. It’s about what’s happening in the inner city and education. If that lines up with whatever ends up being the Occupy movement’s main platform, then I think that’ll be a positive thing.

What lessons from your time in the NFL do you think benefited you the most in your current position?

We used to videotape everything we did.

The concept of unvarnished self-reflection around how you are doing and sort of that thought of continuous improvement is something I try to summon every single day.

We look at how we’re doing things in the city when we look at our PhillyStat program, which is our performance management program here in the city. I became comfortable evaluating every single thing I did on a regular basis. n

The real story of child sexual abuse.

By Nina Hoffmann nhoffmann@philadelphiaweekly.com Now that we’ve learned more about Joe Paterno, Penn State football and its “legacy” than we ever needed to, it’s time to talk about the real issue: allegations that at least eight boys were sexually abused by former football coach Jerry Sandusky.

To date, the grand jury report remains one of the few accounts that documents what exactly these boys (now men in their 20s) had to endure. This is because, since Day 1, this story has never been about sexual abuse.

And as the spouse of a sexual-abuse survivor, I’m heartbroken. My husband was abused by his stepfather when he was 6, and for a period of time no one believed him except for his dad, who reported the abuse to the authorities. It was only after we got married last year that my husband, now 29, really started displaying signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. All of a sudden, he could not function. Everyday acts, things we all take for granted with our spouses, like hugging or laughing, became huge undertakings for him. Our first year of marriage was marked by shame, resentment, pain, anger and guilt.

The sexual abuse had stolen my husband.

But he is slowly returning. Thanks to therapy, our love for and commitment to one another, my husband is reclaiming his life. He gets the credit for our progress because he had the strength to say, ‘I want to stop hurting.’ He spoke up once again— and this time, thankfully, I listened.

This is why I’m so embarrassed by what’s happening in the national conversation right now. I seethed when I saw a headline about how the coach of the Indianapolis Colts “feels” about the tragedy.

Why is this man being given an outlet to voice his empty opinion? I’m also disturbed by a Facebook conversation I had the other day. I commented on the Penn State riots, noting how ashamed I was that thousands of people were acting out in favor of someone who did not do more to stop these horrible alleged crimes. A PSU alum later commented that she was offended by my remarks, even though she wasn’t there and had nothing to do with what happened on campus. These actions are pathetic, and so is the fact that people with ties to PSU—people who weren’t there and played no role—are taking the backlash personally. If this is not a testa-

The Lion’s Share Blame for alleged child sexual abuse extends beyond Happy Valley.

By Michael Alan Goldberg mgoldberg@philadelphiaweekly.com over the years have said they once believed him to be a profoundly decent man. Saintly, even. Despite Sandusky’s deep involvement with Second Mile—the foundation for troubled boys he founded in 1977 and is alleged to have mined for victims—how many authorities, agencies, colleagues and parents never even thought to take a close, hard look at this man entrusted with thousands of young boys because of that godlike PSU aura? How many background checks skipped, encounters unsupervised, warning signs disregarded, allegations dismissed because “that kind of thing could never happen here” or “Penn State would never associate with that type of person”?

Those who have put PSU on a hallowed pedestal helped create the conditions that enabled the sexual abuse.

Many of us have given our blind reverence and trust to other institutions, too.

The grand jury report released last February that implicated numerous priests and high-ranking Archdiocese of Philadelphia officials in a massive pedophilia scandal is as sickening and heartbreaking as the Sandusky report.

Yet many still view the church and its clergy as beyond reproach. So much so that, according to the grand jury report, the parents of one 14-year-old boy who detailed his rape by the Rev. James J. Brennan rejected their son’s account because Brennan was “a pillar of the community” (even though an Archdiocesan investigator found Brennan’s denials not credible).

It’s happened before. With the Boy Scouts. With USA Swimming. With military academies like the Citadel. The list shouldn’t be longer, but it is.

Everyone should be appalled, but no one should be shocked, when these types of child molestation debacles erupt. Once and for all, though, we need to heed the obvious lessons: That the places we say we least expect these things to occur should be the places we most expect them to occur. That nothing is sacred. That no one is above having a bright light shined on their activities. That we have to demand and engage in intense scrutiny and supervision with every adult we entrust with our young boys and girls. No one’s advocating paranoia, but surely we’re best off—as Lenin and Reagan put it—when we “trust, but verify.” n

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

On Saturday, as the clock struck noon at Beaver Stadium, both the good and the bad sides of Penn State were on display. Inside the towering football cathedral—where more than 100,000 Nittany Lions worshippers gathered for the first game of the post-Paterno era—a row of shirtless guys with letters painted on their chests spelled out the words “For the Kids.” At midfield prior to kickoff, Penn State and Nebraska players converged for a moment of silence and prayer for the young boys former PSU defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is accused of raping and molesting over the course of a decade, perhaps much longer.

Tears flowed from the crowd and the TV cameras transmitted what seemed like genuine sadness and compassion, even remorse, to the rest of the country.

Outside the stadium, it was an uglier scene. Thirty-four-year-old John Matko, a 2000 Penn State graduate, stood in the middle of the closed-off street as thousands of PSU fans—many clad in some version of a “We Love Joe” T-shirt—milled around, many gawking at him. Matko held two hand-scrawled signs. One bore the Albert Einstein quote, “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on and do nothing.” The other demanded PSU “honor the abused kids by canceling this game and the season NOW.” Students, alumni and others—and not just a handful of “rotten eggs” but literally several hundred people over the course of half an hour—spit on Matko, dumped beer on him, shoved middle fingers in his face, called him a “fucking pussy,” “faggot,” and a “piece of shit,” and yelled at him to “get the fuck out of here.” They slapped

and punched his signs, occasionally knocking them to the ground. Each time, Matko slowly bent down and picked them up.

One guy got inches from Matko’s face and barked “We Are!” as his buddies laughed.

It was like a public flogging, and through it all Matko remained silent and just took it. “I knew I was gonna be outnumbered today, but I didn’t know quite how much,” Matko said.

“I was part of this community and I know how narrow-minded everybody is around here, and they still don’t get it.”

The reality is that the good and bad have always co-existed here. But for too long many of us in Pennsylvania have fetishized the good and turned Penn State into a fantasyland of virtue.

It’s what a lot of us do. We elevate certain select institutions to an unimpeachable plane. Maybe it’s a reaction to all the day-to-day shittiness we experience—the cheating, the lying, the indecency, the brutality, the letdowns. We’re desperate for something we can believe in.

For a long time, Joe Paterno made it easy for us to believe in Penn State. Under his watch, PSU football wasn’t just about winning—and they won a lot—it was about winning the right way. Squeaky clean.

Honor and integrity above all. We lauded Paterno’s “Grand Experiment.” And then many PSU devotees deified him, beatified his program and extended that mythology across Happy Valley—making the whole joint into some sort of ridiculous, abstract ideal where good was magnified and bad essentially banished (nevermind the rampant drunken idiocy and culture of sexual aggression, hallmarks of any large state university). A place where evil couldn’t possibly lurk.

Precisely the kind of environment where a child predator seeks to hang his hat.

The grand jury report makes it clear that Sandusky affixed himself to the Paterno/ PSU shine that we helped create and exploited it for his own heinous purposes.

Since the scandal came to light, scores of people who’ve crossed paths with Sandusky

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

ment to how stigmatized—how utterly silenced—sexual abuse has become in our society, I don’t know what is. Which is why we all need to start talking about it immediately.

The survivors’ loved ones play a big role in that. Another recent headline I saw focused on a woman whose son is an alleged victim of Sandusky. Naturally, she wants justice. She wants the perpetrator “to be put away for a long time.” I hope that she and all of the survivors’ partners, parents and friends do more than call for justice. I hope that they do their homework on the effects of sexual abuse and do their damndest to understand the triggers, the defense mechanisms and the pain associated with being molested.

The real healing will be ongoing. It takes years. Survivors cannot do it alone and they have to know that their loved ones aren’t ashamed to help them deal with it. And to the survivors I want to say: I hope this media circus has not caused you any more pain. Though when I see how affected my husband has been over the last week, sadly, I know that it has.

To see a school so obsessed with its own reputation must make you feel guilty for speaking out or in some way complicit in what happened to you. I hope that you find the strength and the courage to heal. My husband is living proof that it’s possible.

Just a little over a week since this case has unfolded, I’m now reading that PSU’s Board of Trustees is allegedly ordering people to stop talking about the case.

Now is the worst possible time to be silent. Now is the time to talk about sexual abuse in a way that helps people understand the gravity of it. Let’s use this tragedy as an opportunity to address all of the terrible consequences and symptoms of being sexual abused. A good place to start would be to stop referring to this case as a sex scandal. When you call it that, you’re comparing child rape to what people like John Edwards (who cheated on his wife with a staffer, had a baby and lied about it) and Eliot Spitzer (who cheated on his wife with a hooker and lied about it) did. Yes, semantics matter.

It has taken my husband his entire life to come to grips with the fact that he was sexually, physically and emotionally abused. It has taken all the strength that we have, and then some, to keep our marriage together in spite of all the darkness.

Sexual abuse can happen anywhere, to anyone. One in four girls and one in six boys are molested before the age of 18.

But the more we talk about it, maybe, just maybe, we can save a child from enduring what my husband and these survivors did. We can help eliminate the stigma.

So next time this conversation comes up in your circle of friends, family and colleagues, don’t make it about football, legacy or Joe Paterno. Make it about sexual abuse. That’s the real story. n

Dubstep on The genre that’s poised to take Philly’s music throne.

By Elliott Sharp feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com Photographs by: Ryan Strand

Dayglow: Diplo and several others got down at a sold-out Navy Yard show this summer.

2000s in underground clubs like Forward, with artists such as Skream and Benga leading the pack, is blowing up across the United States. According to the October cover of the typically rock band-toting music magazine Spin, contemporary dubstep and electronic dance music artists like Skrillex, Justice and Tiësto are victoriously leading “the new rave generation.”

Last week, following a sold-out Skrillex concert at the First Bank Center in Denver, in an article titled “Skrillex Helps Power Dubstep Deeper Into America’s Heartland,” the Chicago Sun Times wrote, “After umpteen previous declarations that various forms of electronic dance music were poised for a takeover of the nation’s popular tastes, 2011 has been the year it finally happened on a wider scale.”

When we look back at the past from the comfort of our spaceship-homes in the future, will 2011 be the year dubstep broke?

In Philly, evermore, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

Yup. Philly, the city that’s prided itself for so long on the straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll sound of Bruce Springsteen. Philly, the town that never met a Grateful Dead ticket it didn’t buy. Philly, the city where John Coltrane found his lungs. Philly, the birthplace of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s orchestral soul.

Call it the New Sound of Philadelphia: Dubstep. It’s varied. It’s loud. It’s violent.

It’s youthful. It’s drug-fueled. It’s fast as fuck—140 beats per minute, typically.

Philly loves the stuff.

For those who missed out on the rave scene in the mid-to-late-1990s, it’s hap-

pening again, and it’s happening here in Philadelphia in a major way.

“I was a fan the first time around,” says Philadelphian Todd Rodeghiero about the electronic music scene of the ’90s. “But this time it’s already much, much bigger.”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

he couple hundred people gathered at the TLA for L.A.-based dubstep musician Mimosa’s concert last Wednesday are like vultures swarming carrion. Their actions appear natural, biological, organic. They’re hungry.

A more precious simile: They’re like tiny kittens cuddling up to their mother’s furry gut for warmth. The way they converge in front of Mimosa’s DJ booth—a fortress-like arrangement of digital screens displaying spiraling colors, patterns and shapes— in one massive, powerful circle of collective energy is instinctual; they’re pumping their fists, yawping, swinging uncontrollably, bouncing off each other’s sweaty, convulsing, sub-basscontrolled bodies while piercing laser-beams zip inches above their bobbing heads.

“I want one of those,” an ecstatic man says, pointing to a flailing dude wearing a jacket with dozens of dangling neon green, yellow and orange glow sticks that flop around like jellyfish tentacles, vibrating manically along with each bass blast. They sync up perfectly with the radiant yellow hula hoop spinning around the waist and arms of the spandex-wrapped and entranced girl with whom he’s dancing.

Everyone’s dancing. Some not very well—they look like Elaine from Seinfeld, stiff and awkwardly poking about. But that doesn’t matter. No one here’s judging anyone else. Each person’s happily doing their own thing, and everyone’s doing it together—bouncing differently to the same booming, pounding, shifting drum.

When Mimosa—raging behind a Macbook, his faux-hawk whipping around like a rabid squirrel’s tail—squashes the sonic tension he’s so carefully built by unleashing a hard-asnails, low-end accompanied beat, the whole damn club goes next-level bonkers. (see photo slideshow at philadelphiaweekly.com) “There’s so much amazing fucking energy in here,” yells a wild girl to the ceiling, eyes closed. She’s not talking to anyone in particular—she’s addressing the night itself, hollering the vibe.

Dubstep, a form of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in London in the early

Along with partner Mark Marek, Rodeghiero launched Trckd Media Group/AOE in 2010.

They’ve since organized some of the larger dubstep and electronic events around Philadelphia, throwing ragers at venues like the Starlight Ballroom, Susquehanna Bank Center and the TLA. The national dubstep craze is in full-swing, with significantly more tours stopping by Philadelphia (see tagline), and the local scene’s been slowly evolving over the last decade.

Diplo and Low B’s Hollertronix events at the Eukie put the city on the map in the early 2000s, and Diplo’s annual Mad Decent Block Parties have undoubtedly contributed to local concertgoers’ increased interest in all things dubstep and dance.

In its earliest manifestations, the dubstep sound was atmospheric and gloomy. It’s hauntingly slow beats, pulverizing bass and echoing wobbles were chilling. But the chills didn’t

Carnival, which brought 230,000 people to Las Vegas this year.

It’s not just festivals, though. Exponentially more dubstep and EDM artists are touring the country in a way only rock, country and hip-hop artists have in the past. A national circuit’s blown wide open, and tickets are selling out in record times, like when Skrillex played the Electric Factory back in October.

Dubstep purists might scoff at the new generation, but there’s no denying its potency and popularity. The changes aren’t only of an aural aesthetic, either.

“The biggest change I’ve seen since the 1990s is with stage-driven performances and hardticket DJs,” says Rodeghiero. “The difference is between concerts designed to sell tickets at pre-sale—like live rock shows—versus club environments, where tickets are primarily sold at the door. Now, we can have DJs selling out theaters and halls with full-on production, which wasn’t possible a few years ago.”

While EDM artists in the past were banished to small clubs, now they’re selling out venues historically reserved for radio-friendly mainstream acts like the Foo Fighters, Britney Spears or Kanye West. The demand’s increased radically, especially among college audiences. This Thursday night in State College, Trckd is hosting the first large-scale EDM show on the Penn State campus with Avicii. The Swedish DJ sold out the Philadelphia Navy Yard in June (see photo slideshow at philadelphiaweekly.com), and returned for a headlining set at Susquehanna Bank Center in August. The Penn State bozos may not get their football coach back, but they’re in for a rave they won’t forget any time soon.

In November alone, there are a number of dubstep/EDM events happening across Philly.

On the 19th, Dub Set are set to take the stage at Starlight Ballroom. A few nights later, on the biggest party day of the year, Thanksgiving eve, Israeli electronic act Infected Mushroom will rock the TLA. Then, on Nov. 25, Trckd co-presents Dancegiving at the Electric Factory, as the EDM festival that premiered last year in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., makes its first Philadelphia stop. Once electro-house artist Wolfgang Gartner wraps up his headlining set that night in Philly—the only other stop on this year’s Dancegiving tour—he’ll zip down to headline the main stage the next night in Florida after a set by Diplo.

Those are the touring acts making their way through town. Philly has several critical dubstep players on the come up, and the real unsung hero of the scene is Starkey.

Born Paul Geissinger, Starkey’s an Allentown native who’s lived in Philly since he was 18.

provoke just heady existential suspense and tension, but also dancing.

In a 2010 Guardian article, “Grime and Dubstep: A Noise You Could Believe In,” music writer Simon Reynolds argues it was partly its “relationship to the real” that made dubstep (and its close, but more aggressive, rawer and hip-hop-oriented relative, grime) more than just humdrum dance music. By this, Reynolds seems to mean the music spoke for some sort of late-capitalist frustration and alienation—a loss of hope—brewing in London at the time. It captured the darker, semi-dystopic moods of the young generation. But, as Reynolds argues, dubstep’s menacing promise never truly materialized. Instead, the sluggish, eery beats fostered a more contemplative spirit, as opposed to an active or cathartic force. There was certainly rage, but it remained cloaked beneath blankets of ghostly beats and towering bass.

The opposite’s the case for the so-called dubsteppers who’ve recently captured the attention of audiences in the U.S. Far from contemplative, artists like Skrillex have more in common with 1980s hair-metal bands Poison and Guns N’ Roses than Burial (one of the dubstep artists from those early London days who exemplified the genre’s minimal, downtempo sound).

This popular new dubstep’s all about externalized aggression and rage, and it’s made audiences across the country fill large clubs and stadiums to get sonically pummeled and dance their asses off. As the Spin cover notes, the past year’s seen a radical increase in the number of EDM festivals, like New York’s Electric Zoo, Miami’s Ultra Music and the Electric Daisy

He completed his graduate studies in music production at Temple. You’re more likely to read about the 30-year-old dubstepper in British mags like The Wire or NME than you are in the local press—he also performs more in Europe than in Philly—but he’s been swinging fierce since the mid-2000s. His albums, like Ear Drums and Black Holes and his two-volume Space Traitor series, represent some of the finest American dubstep music made so far. He slightly modifies dubstep’s signature sound by mixing in vocal melodies and more pop-friendly tropes, but he has a deep relationship with the music’s early days.

In the early 2000s, Starkey studied for a year in London, at the same time the dubstep and grime scenes were emerging. A couple years after returning to Philly, he hooked up with Philadelphian (and DJ Nights columnist for City Paper) Dev79, who was also knee-deep in the London scene and was already hosting events and doing radio shows under the Seclusiasis banner.

The two began organizing two-floor dubstep and grime parties called IN and FM at La Tazza on Second and Chestnut streets. One night in 2006, they brought genre-pioneer Jammer over from London for a few shows in Philly and New York City.

“Everyone had a blast,” Starkey says of the Philly show. “In New York, people were just standing around, but here, everyone went nuts. We’d been playing this music at parties for almost two years, so everyone here knew it. Philly was hype to it, but the New York audiences weren’t prepared. We were already playing records nobody [had] ever heard, steadily getting our hands on whatever we could and ordering records from the U.K. by the box. They were hard to get, but we did it.”

While Seclusiasis continues to host DIY-type dubstep events in Philly, it’s also an internationally regarded record label that has dropped records by its two founders, as well as dubsteppers like DNABEATS and Distal. The two also run Slit Jockey Records, which was initially launched to curate music from London’s grime scene. On the sonic tip, Starkey and Dev79 are articulating their own sound, which they call “Street Bass.”

“When we started our parties, we wrote the words ‘Street Bass’ really big on the fliers,” says Starkey. “It encapsulates what we think’s going on in Philadelphia—street music with heavy bass. Philly’s always been in the shadows of other places, but, honestly, I don’t think there’s much going on in New York. People here are willing to take chances that people in other places aren’t.”

“The U.K.’s the epicenter, so the whole world looks there for electronic music,” says Dev79.

“But this music really resonates in Philly. Like London, we have a grey, darker, harsher vibe.”

“It’s a party,” says Rodeghiero, attempting to explain why these dubstep/EDM events are

bringing in bigger, younger audiences. “There aren’t any ballads, and there are no slow songs.

The performer’s goal’s to keep the [beats per minute] changing, moving and flowing ... they gotta keep it hot or they lose people.”

Losing people. It’s what indie rock music, which for many years has been the go-to musical vehicle for youthful, rebellious kicks, might be doing. The shoot-first-ask-questions-never glory days of Mudhoney and Sonic Youth—who pushed the boundaries of sound while carving out a new, exciting cultural world—are long gone. And as second generation bands like Pavement and Guided By Voices now offer little more than a nostalgic experience, cashing in on the reunion tour racket, indie rock’s more openly becoming an old-timer’s market.

The anthems of popular bands like Montreal’s Arcade Fire—who broke down the indie/ mainstream barrier this year by being the first indie label artist to win a Grammy Award for Album of the Year with their very rural-sounding The Suburbs—exemplify the less amplified,

less defiant and extra-sappy path the music’s taken. The band’s highly celebrated debut, 2004’s Funeral, certainly paved the way for the current crew of oh-so-precious indie-rockers now plaguing radio and cloudwaves.

In a recent New York Daily News column, “Stop Being So Sensitive! Burly Men Become Girly Men, Turning Pop Music Into A Wuss-Case Scenario,” writer Jim Farber argues the rise of indie bands and artists like Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and the National have signified that the “wimps inherit(ed) the earth.”

Despite the problematic gender issues implied by Faber’s choice of language, he’s right.

While the tunes are conducive to sipping wine by a cozy fireplace, they lack the fire and guts needed to keep younger audiences satiated. The last thing little hell-raisers wanna do on Friday night is watch some old dude whine/cough into a microphone while playing an acoustic guitar. And no matter how many mandolins, ukeleles, banjos or violins the band incorporates to create a indie-rock-as-orchestra vibe, the music’s still boring. One of the main reasons young concert-goers are pledging allegiance to dubstep ragers like Skrillex is they want music that’s more aggressive.

“Everything's going in the direction of dance music right now. It's this music's time.”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011 • 10

They need energy, and they want fun. They need spectacle. They need an event, and as indie-rock gets cozier with the WXPN and NPR set, the kids are finding fresh ways to get their kicks.

Mimosa, whose TLA concert last Wednesday was presented by Trckd, agrees. “These shows are more appealing to younger people,” he says lounging in his tour bus a few hours before shaking the stage. “This is aggressive music, so it’s a good way to release tension.”

When Mimosa speaks of aggressive dubstep, though, he’s talking more about Skrillex than he is himself. His music, like on his recent LP, Sanctuary, is much more ambient, psychedlic and intricate. As his TLA set proved, it’s every bit as cathartic, but Mimosa’s more devoted to atmospheric builds that avoid bashing while still bumping.

“The production levels of this music have created a hyper-interactive experience for fans,” says Evan Weinstein, a founding partner of Steez Promo, which organizes dubstep concerts up and down the east coast. “Rock music got stale ... It’s just a few guys playing, and maybe a banner with the band name on it behind them.”

“The popularity started to grow,” he continues, “when we started placing more emphasis on stage design and production. We tried to create a stronger visual appearance with lights, walls of subwoofers, multiple video screens, custom DJ booths, lasers, and so on. It’s increased across the board—bigger numbers, bigger venues, bigger production. Everything’s going in the direction of dance music right now. It’s this music’s time.”

This Thursday night, at the TLA, Steez presents a headlining performance by Steve Aoki, a California-based electro-house DJ who’s had a huge impact on dance music’s recent rise.

In the late 1990s, Aoki founded Dim Mak Records, which has since dropped acclaimed albums by leading EDM figures such as MSTRKRFT and Tiësto, as well as indie-rockers with electro cross-over appeal, like Bloc Party and the Kills. Known for his insane, over-the-top live shows, Aoki’s also a party promoter, and his second annual Pacific Fest brought more than 50 EDM-centric acts to Silverado, Calif., in August. In Washington, D.C. on Nov. 26, Steez pulls off their biggest event yet—the Fall Massive.

“It began with an idea,” says a scary, quasi-totalitarian voice streaming on the Fall Massive website. “An idea that we will all be united under one culture. An idea that people from all walks of life will form a single unit ... this vision is massive.” Across multiple, interconnected tents and five stages in a lot at RFK Stadium, and with a maximum capacity of 15,000, Massive’s bringing together well over 50 artists representing a diverse range of the EDM scene— from London dubstep OGs Skream and Benga to Moby and Diplo.

The new dubstep scene has several key players, but chilling at the apex is Skrillex (whose Baltimore and varous Virginia performances were also booked by Steez). He’s harnessing both the aggression and larger-than-life stage-production that exemplifies the scene’s maximalist ethos, and, as a result, he’s become a spokesman for dubstep’s American invasion.

The former frontman of screamo band From First to Last, the 23-year-old approaches it from a rock ’n’ roller’s perspective. He’s managing to take the rage and grandiosity that contemporary popular rock music once had but now lacks, and translate it into the wobbly, grinding, sub bass language of dubstep. One track from his breakout album, released in 2010 on Canadian DJ Deadmau5’s label, Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites, is called “Rock ’N’ Roll (Will Take You To The Mountain).” That’s exactly what his live performances do. Well, that’s really only half of it—Skrillex takes you to the mountain, then he takes you much higher, and then he blasts you, like a fucking missile, out into space.

His music hits hard, like a sledgehammer to the dome—moshpits formed at the Electric Factory stop on his recent Mothership Tour. And his stage-production’s unlike anything anyone’s ever seen. Using a body motion suit, sensors pick up his frenzied moves from behind the DJ booth and are then visualized through a towering, 20-foot-tall DJ projected on a huge

video screen behind him. It’s as if he’s a god-like monster/alien/robot leading the most epic party in the history of mankind, except the party’s on a planet nobody’s ever been to before.

Call it Planet Skrillex.

He’s definitely introduced a stadium-rock mentality to dubstep, but the dude’s onto something. People needed something new that was big, loud, fast and mean, and Skrillex has provided it. He’s captured the hearts and minds of an undeniably large segment of young concert-goers, and the consequence is a major alteration of the fundamental principles of dubstep music. His version doesn’t have a “relationship to the real,” as Reynolds argues London’s early music did, but has more of a relationship to the unreal, and to the maximalist spectacle, and to the aggressive desires of mainstream audiences.

“A few hundred people might be bitching on a message board,” Skrillex says in a recent interview with Rolling Stone about purists and naysayers who accuse him of destroying the original version of dubstep. “But you can go to a festival and find 100,000 people dancing to my music. No one gives a fuck.”

One of the sets at this year’s fourth annual Mad Decent Block Party was Luvstep, the DJ

team of Philadelphians Flufftronix and Dirty South Joe. Like the new breed, their production deviates from the sacred dubstep mold, but in a much mellower, smoother, chillwave and indie-inspired way. Flufftronix, a Philadelphia resident since 2008, has also hosted events in Philly under the Rad Summer banner, bringing many big artists from the London scene (e.g., Benga, Joker and Ikonika) for their first local appearances. His monthly event, PHLTH, features local artists throwing down sets packed with everything from dubstep and grime to hip-hop and electro-house.

These dubstep deviations and variations, like Starkey and Dev79’s Street Bass, are typical in Philly’s scene, one that’s not easily defined.

Last Friday, for instance, in a sweaty warehouse near the York-Dauphin subway stop in Kensington, a couple hundred people cram in for some Street Bass action at a party called Dubmasters II. Hitting the stage around 2 a.m., Dev79 destroys a set of original music and bangers by Seclusiasis artists Kastle and Siyoung. It’s nothing—nothing—like a Skrillex show.

It’s classic DIY Philly shit, nothing like the dubstep exploding elsewhere around Philly and the rest of the country.

“You’re gonna get an education at Dubmasters II,” Dev79 says about the somewhat academic survey of the music’s history he sneaks into his live sets. “DJs gotta make the party pop off, but they should also bring some knowledge to the table. Many people now are playing this homogenized, dumbed-down version of dubstep, and it’s not doing anything positive for this scene’s culture.”

“It’s been crazy to see dubstep go so far,” Mimosa says about the music’s recent nationwide popularity. “Nobody expected it would reach the heights it has. The parties are much bigger, and we’re able to bring more people together for a unified experience ... there’s a very special

The crowd reacts to Mimosa at the TLA.

moment that happens where all these lights are going along with the music, everyone is dancing in the same motion, and it all feels like one living, breathing thing.”

The “unified experience” Mimosa speaks of is what the new dubstep scene’s all about, and it’s another critical reason kids are flocking to the raucous parties.

Starkey attended Skillex’s sold-out Electric Factory show, and while his music differs wildly from the current king’s, he knows he bore witness to a special kind of spectacle.

“Kids went ape-shit,” he says. “They heard loud, raucous music their parents don’t like—it was like going to see the Beatles or something. Rock ’n’ roll’s sappy and boring right now— kids need aggression, and this is the new angst music. It’s their rock music.” n Upcoming Live Dubstep/EDM events: Steve Aoki, Thurs., Nov. 17, 8pm, TLA, 334 South St. tlaphilly. com; Bass Melt IV (Kaillick, Illy, Dubsef), Sat., Nov. 19, 10pm, The Legendary Dobbs, 304 South St.; Dub Set (Matty G, Cotti, Conscious Pilot, and more), Sat., Nov. 19, 9pm, Starlight Ballroom, 460 N.

Russian Circles Russian Circles’ name is so deliciously crypticsounding that it’s a bit disappointing to learn it actually comes from a source as unmysterious as a skating drill practiced by the 1980 Soviet Union national ice hockey team. On the upside, the Chicago (predominantly) instrumental trio’s music delivers on the spectacle that origin story doesn’t. Their freshly released Empros is filled with guitars creaking and cranking to form massive pools of bleak post- and doom metal. There are occasional asides such a hazy, summery melody or the strumming of what sounds like a sitar, but the record’s real draw is its distortion-smitten coldness. For the band’s finest pre-Empros track, check out “Death Rides a Horse” off 2006’s Enter. Since you probably won’t be around to witness the Apocalypse in person, this aural representation of a specter racing to exterminate humanity is a kind of postcard from beyond.

The winner of a staggering 10 Tony Awards, Billy Elliot dances into the Academy of Music for an extended holiday visit through Nov. 27.

The story focuses on a young, motherless boy from an economically depressed coal town who, after dabbling in boxing, gives up the ring to pursue his dream of becoming a ballet dancer. Unlike most screen-to-stage transfers, Director Stephen Daldry’s innovatively theatrical production exceeds the excellent film (also directed by Daldry) from which it is adapted. Featuring Peter Darling’s sensationally fluid choreography and Elton John’s surprisingly muscular and darkly tuneful score, the production is inspiring without ever being sentimental. As visually arresting as it is emotionally engaging, Billy Elliot is a uniquely engaging celebration of the private dancer in us all. J. CoopeR Robb 7:30pm. $20-$150.

But the real show takes place on Saturday with a night of competitive categories and performances hosted by Philly’s fabulous Brittany Lynn. Judges include Miss Pennsylvania 2010, Miss New York 2010, Pretty Poison’s Jade Starling and NY Ink’s Robear. He who takes the crown will then represent the U.S. in the International Mr. Gay contest.

Joe Lally Fugazi bassist Joe Lally’s solo endeavors have, until now, generally been meditative, minimalistic efforts. They possess the understated steeliness, inviting a late-night beatnik vibe shadowed by a hint of menace and subtle funk. Ending a four-year absence, Lally’s third album Why Should I Get Used To It features searing guitar skronk and squall courtesy of Elisa Abela. While the tempos are still often sedate, Abela’s spiky, demonstrative style proves an ideal, noisy counterpart to Lally’s lithe double-jointed rhythms and understated baritone speak/sing. Now a resident of Rome, Italy, Lally’s American tour features different musicians and an unusual/intriguing bassdrums-electric cello lineup. ChRIS PARkeR 7:30pm. $10. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N.

“Shaved like a razor, but it’s done with a laser, and it’s down on the bikini line,” sings Jonny Corndawg in an almost faux-Nashville, Tenn. strained croon, opening his latest record Down on the Bikini Line. Apart from his humorous approach to country music, the bearded raconteur is a man of eclectic talents.

An adept guitarist and violinist, Corndawg is also an avid long-distance runner and leatherworker (you can even place orders for custom belts and guitar straps on his website).

Mastodon Mastodon’s new album The Hunter represents their most radio-friendly, “accessible” release.

That they’re a band whose dense metal topography includes the sludgy depths of Sleep, raging rapids of Metallica and Rush’s rich prog indulgences is an important note: When you’re as woolly as these guys, a good haircut can offer a welcome surprise. They haven’t polished away the weirdness, just titrated it—trimming songs into more constrained, focused arrangements. Frontman Brent Hinds vocals are as strong (some may say “produced”) as ever, and while maybe not as loud (there’s a volume knob), it’s still very dynamic and cinematic.

Ballet X When most people think of a night at the ballet (pronounced Bah-lay) they think of a row of stiff ballerinas in frilly tutus, biting back grimaces as they impossibly stand on the tips of their toes to the worn-out melodies of Swan Lake. But somewhere between the

classic Pennsylvania Ballet and whackedout Natalie Portman lies BalletX. This isn’t your typical pas de bouree, kids. In their fall series, the 10 incredibly talented dancers of the company will perform three clever pieces (two are world premieres) that explore topics like the difficulty of human communication to the loss of personal identity. One piece is based entirely on the inspirations of Andrew Jackson Public School’s students. Co-artistic Director Christine Cox calls it “choreography about today; it’s about the way we feel now.”

So be ready to feel like a high-class ballet patron without going broke or wearing that stuffy ascot. RACheL MCDevITT 2pm. $35. Wilma Theater. 265 S. Broad St. 215.546.7824. wilmatheater.org, balletx.org

Real Estate Real Estate’s self-titled 2009 debut was an absolute gem—an easygoing slice of hazy, nostalgic beach-pop—and the Brooklyn-viaJersey quintet has somehow managed to outdo that achievement with their magnificent new Days. On par with the best work of the Feelies and such lauded Flying Nun acts as the Clean and the Bats, the album’s jangly, sepia-toned dream-pop is elegantly wistful, subtle and wholly transportive. In the wrong hands this stuff could come off trite and cloying, but Real Estate continues to whip up small, affecting melodic miracles. We don’t question it, we just revel in it. M.A.G. 8pm. $12.

food & drink You’re quite the Dish

The Bobbie at Capriotti’s By cristina Perachio feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Santucci’s new South Philly location is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

By Brian Freedman bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com rya n st r a n d

the Bobbie at capriotti’s, you are quite the thanksgiving sandwich!

Hip To Be Square

Yes, I am quite festive for the holiday season, but I’m available all year long so you don’t have to fret over rationing leftovers from Turkey Day dinner.

now, you are also known as the thanksgiving sandwich, but how did you get your official name, the Bobbie?

I’m a family recipe handed down to Capriotti’s founders Lois and Alan Margolet who started the sandwich shop back in 1976. Their Aunt Bobbie is my original creator and namesake.

and your ingredients?

My flaky, fresh baked longroll is layered with roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo.

How does your turkey always taste like thanksgiving Day and not like leftovers?

I’m roasted in-house every night and then pulled in the morning. But the real kick is in my cranberry sauce.

is this a secret you can share with your fans?

Just that it isn’t your average canshaped cran sauce: It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart flavors.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

are there any other techniques you can dish on?

I’ve got a few tricks under my wings: a combination of dark and light meat turkey keep me moist and full of flavor.

You were voted “greatest Sandwich in america” on aOl, but tell me what your die-hard fans are really saying about you?

Some fans love me so much, they can’t order anything else off our menu. I’ve ruined all other sandwiches for them.

For that, I apologize. But you can always have seconds. n Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, Various locations. capriottis.com

Pie high: The square pizza at Santucci's in no gimmick.

• 22

As a born and bred Philadelphian, it’s not often that a cheesesteak elicits much emotion in my grease-loving heart. Like so many of us, I was raised on the sandwiches, and over the years they’ve taken on a role similar to SportsCenter on TV or the constant hum of my neighbor’s vacuum cleaner: Mere background noise, no more worthy of attention than anything else.

But my recent first bite of Santucci’s garlic bread cheesesteak snapped me out of my apathy: Why, I wondered, had I never tasted this before?

It’s such an obvious, spectacular combination. Cook up a few petals of rib-eye, fold in some sweet-soft onion, anoint it with a house-made provolone sauce, and cosset it all between the garlic confit-slicked insides of a perfectly toasted roll. Genius.

Santucci’s, which has several locations around town but just opened another recently at the corner of 10th and Christian streets, seems to embody all that has always made this neighborhood such a destination: It’s casual and family-friendly, inexpensive, and way over-delivers on the promise of its menu.

Googly-eyed dates, tables of old friends and parents trying valiantly to keep their kids entertained all share the modest dining-room space with a constant stream of neighbors stopping by for some of the best take-out in the ’hood. And in the resulting tumult of this constant stream of bodies, a sense of community develops.

This is the kind of food that facilitates that so effortlessly. It’s the kind of spot where you want to roll up your sleeves and tuck into whatever is set before you with abandon.

The pizza, of course, is what owner Frank Santucci and his forebears have built their reputation on. But unlike other area

pizza joints with square pies, it’s no gimmick here: Rather, the geometry of the pie—all thick-crusted and firm—allows the dough itself a chance to literally and figuratively rise above its filling, providing a wonderful snappy frame for whatever treats fill out the center.

The standard is a standout, with aged mozzarella forming the base for the oregano-flecked, well-balanced sauce on top. White pizza, with its generous hit of garlic and olive oil, is both saltier and crunchier, the crust glistening like some kind of Platonic Ideal of a pan pizza. Santucci himself has a serious hand in the dough operations here, and his passion for it is clear in every bite.

Spinach stromboli takes the opposite tack, and is built on a framework of almost wrap-thin dough rolled around generous layers of veg and provolone. It’s served with a spicy marinara, and the combination of acid and heat makes it difficult to stop picking at the massive portion.

Same with the meatballs, served either with spaghetti and “mama’s gravy” or in a sandwich with provolone, parm and marinara. Whichever delivery device you choose, make sure to get ’em. Their fluffiness works in ballet-precise opposition to their density of flavor, the wild boar, beef and veal gently perfumed with clove and juniper berries. Chef Bobby Saritsoglou is a serious talent with these and so much else here.

The meatballs, in fact, go a long way toward showcasing the real skill at work in this open kitchen. So does the porchetta sandwich, an overstuffed canoe of fork-tender braised pork shoulder, a beautifully calibrated pickled apple slaw, and a caramelized shallot jam that seems to be the sweet, unassuming key to the entire endeavor.

For such a wide-ranging menu, it’s remarkable how well-executed the food consistently is here. Hot wings, while not the biggest or meatiest around, make up for their diminutive size with a tenderness and balance that chickens twice the size rarely find. Santucci’s tomato bisque is hearty and comforting enough to make you wish for a rainy night to enjoy it on, a bright hit of acid against a warm cloak of cream. Caesar salad, though it could use a touch more brightness, is the beneficiary of a well-emulsified roasted garlic dressing also made on premises.

Like so many other favorites of this part of the city, Santucci’s embodies what I’ve always enjoyed about South Philly dining. It’s a welcome addition, and an immensely lovable spot in a neighborhood with no shortage of them. n

Occupy your mind: Democracy in action.

•

At the prompt of a public service announcement, people congregate loosely around a wooden stage outside City Hall, snagging a few raggedy chairs or standing in a ring around the speakers. The motley crowd, sporting accessories of all kinds, clutch coffee cups, snap photos on phones and brandish various signs. One man clutches his dry cleaning, and more than a few look like they haven’t showered in weeks. Differences in personal hygiene, headgear and politics aside, they’re all here for a discussion on the topic of capitalism hosted by Machete, a discussion group hatched under the guidance of art gallery Marginal Utility.

As the mic crackles to life, Machete’s second installment of what it has termed seminars in “Public Pedagogy” gets under way. Guest speakers from Villanova and elsewhere

talk excitedly about the economy, greed and the need to stay vigilant of political efforts to co-opt the Occupy movement, all the while making frequent references to the day’s assigned readings (which include Karl Marx and other political-philosophical luminaries).

Committed to holding seminars at Dilworth Plaza, Machete has left the gallery and entered the messier arena of direct democracy. The ivory tower myth that dragging theory into the trenches doesn’t always translate, but the crowd that night told a different story.

And believe it or not, this stuff isn’t nearly as abstract as previous Machete selections. “We would read some stuff on postmodernism,” says Avi Alpert, a Machete Group founder and Ph.D student at Penn, referring back to the days before Occupy when Machete would meet indoors in more conventional settings. “But,” adds Alpert, “that doesn’t feel so relevant to Occupy.” In 2009, Machete began as a discussion group committed to furnishing historical context for the Philly art scene by way of studying theoretical texts in a group setting. When Occupy started, Machete’s migration to Dilworth Plaza felt both natural and necessary.

Tailoring readings to more directly address politics and social activism, Machete hopes to create a critical, reflective space in which the creative disruption staged at Occupy can be “expressed through thought.”

“We’re trying to develop a discussion about things that are pertinent to the movement but give it some historical context,” says Alpert. To date, readings have touched on such themes as “resistance and revolution” and “reform and social transformation.” So far, participation has been high and response vocal.

While some regular attendees whipped out copies of the readings, most people seemed not to have gotten the memo—but that in no way discouraged them from sharing their opinions. A man in a Penn State sweatshirt indicted politicians for irresponsibly closing Philadelphia schools; a woman in a green turban called for a third political party; and a man in a jean jacket tried to get the conversation back on track after a retired physicist from New Jersey decried the evils of health care, boasting that he hadn’t had a physical exam in 40 years.

While these interjections might seem more like random commentary rather than a discussion, such eager participation is nevertheless invigorating for Machete participants. Machete attendee Charlie is happy to forgo the more academic meetings of past Machete events in favor of the more free-ranging but also more urgent vibe of the Occupy meetings: “At institutions like Slought and the ICA, one can run the risk of “preaching to the converted,” says Charlie, referring to hosts of previous Machete events.

“I think there is a greater diversity of voices, dispositions, agendas and vocabularies at Occupy Philadelphia. This is a good thing.”

An attorney who stepped up to the megaphone may have said it best: “I just appreciate the opportunity to be part of people making a movement.” A sympathetic wave of spirit fingers gave him a silent ovation. n To participate in a Machete Group seminar at Occupy Philly or to download their zine, visit marginalutility.org/category/ machete-group.

Daddy Issues

Six Films Made by Serious Filmmakers Based on Absolute Trash

George Clooney fumbles with fatherhood in The Descendents.

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Touch of Evil (1958): One story of questionable validity goes like this: Orson Welles’ career had reached the point where he was working with producer Albert Zugman, otherwise known as “king of the B’s.” Figuring he’d make productive use of this development, he asked for the worst script Zugman had, betting that he could make a great film out of the worst material. Let’s just say no one talks about Badge of Evil, the novel that fueled the script, nor its author Whit Masterson. And that even the mutilated version originally released in theaters proved Orson right.

The Outsiders (1982): Francis Ford Coppola’s post-’70s career has taken many curious turns, arguably none more curious than his stint with young adult novelist S.E. Hinton. Nearly all of young, studly Hollywood was rounded up for this tale of thugs, some with hearts of gold, and the result was that it became to some teens what The Godfather is to everyone else. He next tackled Rumble Fish, but had the decency to make it almost alienatingly arty.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995): Clint Eastwood’s interpretation of Robert James Waller was succinctly described by critic Mike D’Angelo as “an expertly sincere adaptation of the worst novel ever written save for later novels written by the same guy.” Can’t beat that.

The Gingerbread Man (1998): John Grisham and Robert Altman: together at last? Despite the odd fit, this Southern-fried thriller—based on a never-released Grisham manuscript—follows in the long tradition of great filmmakers transcending shitty material by essentially ignoring it.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

In Her Shoes (2005): It’s hard to parse the career of Curtis Hanson, who went from a sturdy neo-noir (L.A. Confidential) to Michael Chambon (Wonder Boys) to Eminem (8 Mile) to chick lit.

And it’s a testament to his skills that he made an almost entirely painless, and often quite strong, film from the work of Jennifer Weiner.

The Skin I Live In

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

Matt’s wife has been sleeping with slimy real estate mogul Brian Speer (Matthew Lillard) and the movie’s fascinating mid-section finds him dragging his daughters along on a road trip, breaking the news to relatives that his wife is not going to wake up, and eventually attempting to track down and confront this mysterious “other man.”

The Descendants ’ largely plotless middle hour is fantastic. Clooney’s hesitant, fumbling relationship with his teenage daughter is played with just the right angry, coltish awkwardness by Woodley. Payne has a knack for letting scenes breathe and allowing his characters to surprise us. Alex’s dopey, wastrel boyfriend Sid (Nick Krause) is tagging along for the ride in what seems like an easy bid for comic relief. But he’s granted an unexpected End of the road: George Clooney (left) takes daughter Alex (Shailene Woodley) extra dimension in a moment of jarring on a trip to tell the family that his wife is dying. pathos.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

Ignore, if you can, that most of Immortals makes little or possibly no sense. Ignore that its lead, future Superman Henry Cavill, is so wooden he makes Sam Worthington look like Jerry Lewis.

And ignore that in their mad dash for 300 money, the filmmakers have made a movie about Theseus that doesn’t feature a labyrinth, six entrances to the underworld or a full-on Minotaur. (There’s a fearsome brute with a metal bull helmet. But that shouldn’t count.)

None of this matters. We are of a period starving for great images, Werner Herzog has said, and great imagery is all that matters to director Tarsem Singh (The Fall, The Cell ).

Granted, Singh’s striking imagery is in service of an inane script.

Cavill’s Theseus finds himself trying to foil the world domination plot of sadistic supervillain Hyperion (Mickey Rourke!), which involves releasing the captured titans from a golden box for reasons never quite broached.

He’s aided in his quest by hottie oracle Phaedra (Frieda Pinto, plus, briefly, her body double) and a thief (Stephen Dorff) whose job is to supply enough personality for all three of them.

For the fist-pumping frat boy, much of Immortals is a very slow build-up to an orgy of ass-kickery and gore. They’ll get their goods, including a bit where a hammerwielding god goes Gallagher on a legion of baddies’ heads. But most of the film is reserved for art nerds, who can drool over the searing gold-on-black palette, the characters’ strange but visually arresting habit of living inside mighty cliffs and a serious penchant for funky headgear. (Rourke—who, as in Iron Man 2, rocks a mumbly disinterest that manifests itself in ultraviolence—gets the best of them, including one that looks like he has fangs around his face.)

Immortals sneaks some of the most batshit imagery into mall theaters since David Lynch’s Dune. But whereas Lynch’s disastrous, though often wonderfully surreal, flick found itself increasingly tied up in narrative knots, Singh’s approach is to ignore the stupid plot and busy himself with eye candy. There’s always something sparkly to gawk at, and by the climax, jocks and nerds can unite in awe for some truly beautiful violence. n

screen Into the Abyss

Grade: B+ Review by Matt Prigge

There are few things less Werner Herzogian than an issue film. The German filmmaking titan thrives on trekking into the unknown guided only by his unique brand of eccentricity, uninterested in merely having his beliefs confirmed. So, you’re justified in being wary of Into the Abyss, his second doc this year and his first work since the otherwordly Kuwaiti oil fires film Lessons of Darkness to be remotely topical.

Arriving in the wake of Troy Davis and the candidacy of an execution-happy governor, Abyss considers the case of Michael Perry, who, along with friend Jason Burkett, was convicted of the truly senseless murders of several people over a sweet ride. Burkett received life imprisonment; Perry, execution. Interviewed

by Herzog eight days before his own murder, Perry maintains his innocence, even while appearing disarmingly calm, collected and in no way suggestive of someone who won’t exist in a handful of days.

Some have carped that the loose and chatty Abyss doesn’t succeed as an issue film, which is tantamount to charging something with failing to do an act it has no interest in performing. Herzog is fundamentally unequipped for tract, and he knows it. “I’m against the death penalty,” he announces within the first reel, and with that out of the way he’s free to focus on other, less explored matters.

He chats at length with Burkett, Burkett’s career prisoner father, Burkett’s pregnant bride— who fell for him while he was imprisoned—and the family members of the slain, including a sister, Lisa, who is allowed to be pro-death penalty without being grilled. It wouldn’t be a Herzog film without the occasional odd digression—e.g., asking a prison chaplain about squirrels—but the filmmaker, heard but never seen, is so gentle, his voice so soothing, you could imagine him having yet another career as a Dr. Phil-esque daytime talk show host. Instead of the focus, capital punishment becomes the mere starting point for a free-ranging exploration of how a single, inexplicable and tragic event defines those affected by it. If it indeed makes a case for “the urgency of life”—the title of the coda—it does so without blunt force. n Read our interview with Werner Herzog at philadelphiaweekly.com

Ray of Sunshine Former Kink Ray Davies is in better health after a canceled Philly performance this time last year.

By Chris Parker

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com ian brodie

Working out the Kinks: Ray Davies heads back to the States.

Many of your songs have come from describing people near your home. The wonderful “Waterloo Sunset” is obviously a watcher’s song. Your autobiography even uses a device where you interview yourself. Have you ever struggled with being too removed, too much a spectator?

I’m an observer, so I’m a bit detached. I’m a reflective person, I’m not a nostalgic person, and I do like to stand outside the situation, like a journalist, only I write songs not articles.

Balance that with the very active role you took in New Orleans. Obviously, it didn’t turn out so well. (Davies was shot often chasing down a purse-snatcher, and spent some time in the hospital.)

I was trying to be proactive and it sort of exposed a lot a of the city’s problems to me. This was before Katrina and before the BP oil spill. I saw into all the danger in that city.

A great city, but a city under constant threat from the environment, from poverty, and at one point it was the murder capital of America.

You had chance to work with Mumford & Sons and other young artists. Is that an invigorating experience?

It rekindled the spirit. Mumford are a great band. It’s always good to meet other bands and pick up on their energy and they were a great band to work with. They’re not put together by a record company. There’s no X Factor involved. They make their own decisions and it’s a great environment to be around.

Townshend and Daltrey have had some really publicized blowouts, but it seems to be nothing compared to the friction between two brothers.

I think when Pete and Roger fall-out it’s big time. And it’s on par with Dave and I. I think it happens when you work in such close proximity to another creative talent. It’s inevitable. All the great bands have had friction. It’s the inevitability of being productive. Of being very creative and having an opinion. That’s what makes great music art.

The smart ones always say, “You know what? You’re right.”

Pete and Roger have had some disputes.

Speaking of, do you have songs or sessions sitting around that are ready to be recorded?

I just found about 70 unreleased Kinks tracks that we stopped recording, that we got vocals on. There’s a whole backlog of work I have to do so I’m not sure if that’s the project to work on. It’s if I decide to pursue that ... when I was recording with Bruce in New Jersey, I started playing a song that I hadn’t finished yet and he came over and started strumming along with me. He said, “Let me know when you’re going to finish that, I’d like to be part of that.” So you know, I wouldn’t rule that out because I do like collaborating. I’m not known for writing songs with other people, but it’s something I wouldn’t rule out in the future. n Ray Davies performs Sat., Nov. 19, 8pm. Temple Performing Arts Center, 1837 N.

How much of that kind of environment—it’s such a vibrant, unusual city—is because it sits on that precipice?

Louie Armstrong wrote in his autobiography, it’s called Satchmo, I’ve got it in front of me, he says one of the first things he heard was a gunshot when he was a kid. I think he alludes to that dangerous aspect. It makes for great mu-

You’ve revisited your older catalog on your last two albums. Is there an urge to reflect, embrace, and revisit as you get older especially with a reunion looking more unlikely?

I revisit, but I’ve just recorded a collaborations record which has allowed me to see the songs in a new light, because other people have been involved with it, really good people like Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, some really good young English artists. It’s allowed me to step outside my music and reassess it. I’m very proud of my catalog. But my whole desire, the thing that drives me, is to make new music and find interesting things to write about.

•

With all the inspiration you drew from American artists, were your years in America at all revelatory? I heard there was a possibility you’ll move back here.

Yeah, I’m thinking of moving back to America. It’s still the place—you may not think so being where you are—but its still a place where there’s an opportunity to achieve things.

I wouldn’t put it any other way. I’m proud of my connection to the American continent because I’ve had a great career there even though we had a rocky start. It’s ended up good, and I’m proud to have been the first English person to be

A quote you wrote 30 years ago: “I write songs because I get angry, and now I’m at the stage where it’s not good enough to brush it off with humor.” How do you deal with your anger now, or has it dissipated a little?

I still get angry and write about issues, but I don’t think I brush it off with humor. I think that humor is a great antidote to pure anger. If you can make something topical and satirical and tongue-in-cheek, it takes the curse off of just being a political rant. I’m not a protest writer, but I still like to veil it with a little humor. That’s the best way to get a point across.

sic. There’s a great saying from the movie The Third Man: “Switzerland has had 1,000 years of peace and what have they made out of it? The Cuckoo Clock.” I think you’ve got to have the rough with the smooth and that’s what makes society. But I could do with a little less pain and a little less suffering in the world. That’s part and parcel of that place.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY November 16 - 22, 2011

As leader of the Kinks, Ray Davies proved one of the British Invasion’s finest songwriters. Their American ascendance was held back by a conflict with the American Federation of Musicians that kept them from our shores from ’65-’69, and cost Davies his due as a lyricist that arguably outshone all his British peers. However, over the years his wry character studies (“Dedicated Follower of Fashion,” “Apeman” and, of course, “Lola”) and poignant sketches (“Waterloo Sunset,” “Sunny Afternoon,” “Misfts”) have received proper approbation. The band collapsed in the mid-’90s and hasn’t reunited thanks to long-simmering tension with brother Dave. Yet Davies remains relevant, and particularly busy of late. He released two fine solo (2006’s Other People’s Lives, and 2007’s Working Man’s Cafe) followed by a full choir take on the Kinks, (The Kinks Choral Collection) and early last year, See My Friends, featuring duets with Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Alex Chilton, Lucinda Williams, Spoon and Jon Bon Jovi among others. We talked with Davies from his London flat about America, his conflict with his brother, and his plans for the future.

given the Slim Harpo Award for contributions to R&B, which I’m very proud of. I still think America’s a great land of opportunity and a free-spirited country. It’s not until you get out of the States that you realize how precious that is.

Ticket Masters Panel Discussion Is the everyday fan being priced out of the concert market?

By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com him will be R5 Productions and Union Transfer promoter Sean Agnew, founder of Pearl Jam tour ticketing David Cooper and Jim McCafferty, ticketing director of the Mann Center for Performing arts. Moderating the whole thing is Tom Moon, former Philadelphia Inquirer music writer and author of the indispensable 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die. We caught up with Baron for a quick preview of what to expect.

It seems people have been complaining about the price of concert tickets forever. Is this problem more perception than reality?

Yes and no. Fans have complained about the high price of tickets for years- and they’ve complained about the often accompanying services fees, too. Even when they were 25 cents. However, there was a signifigant increase in average ticket prices that was out of step with the economic times and trends beginning in the late ’90s with promoter consolidation under SFX. That’s when ticket prices—in our opinion—jumped the shark.

Folks like Ticketmaster and Live Nation get lots of the blame for high ticket prices, but aren’t the artists just as culpable?

Absolutely. If an artist wants to keep ticket prices and service fees down, they can simply take less money. For bigger artists, ticket prices can only go so low in regard to the expense of putting on a tour what with production, venue rental, etc. and a need for some profit—but still, they can decide whether they want to charge $75 per ticket for an arena show versus $150.

What single fact about ticketed events would shock the public most if they knew it went on?

That artists are frequently the source for the best tickets that end up on secondary ticketing sites like StubHub and TicketsNow. What can people expect from the panel at Drexel on Thursday?

A lively discussion about how ticketing—and by extension the concert industry—really works. It might not be make you feel any better but at least you’ll know how it all works.

After that, Dan Bruskewicz’s brusque rasp, The Extremist leading the former trio, now four-piece, through a volatile roots rock venture. Joshua Willis’ upright bass plucking paired with the explosive drumming of Dan Martino turn songs like “The Trail of a Lonesome Hobo” into feel-good, backwoods toe-tappers. There are elements of Dylan, Cash, Waits and Jerry Lee Lewis stewed together, but somehow the end result is none of these.

Where Men Meet Men

SavageLove

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net

I’m 21 years old and in a monogamous relationship. I lost my virginity to my boyfriend, and it was a really great experience. I was drawn to BDSM even before I began having sex, and he’s been happily fulfilling my needs. However, he revealed fairly early on that he also enjoys being submissive during sex. I asked him to explain what sort of dominance he was looking for, but he said he’d rather show me. Recently he tried to steer a sex session in that direction—me dominating him—but I felt nervous and self-conscious. I felt like I was failing a pop quiz. How do I become more comfortable with being a dom? Any tips for first-time doms? Or am I just not cut out for this?

Not Quite A Dom

There are a lot of skilled, confident BDSM tops out there—people who are exclusively dominant or switch—who got into it for the same reason you’ve started to explore your dominant side, NQAD: to please a submissive and/or switch partner.

But “show me” is not how a couple incorporates BDSM into their sex life. Maybe he’s having a hard time articulating his desires because he’s shy, or maybe he’s insecure, or maybe he mistakenly believes that sex—even logistically complicated sex—should just “happen naturally.”

So here’s my first tip: Force him to talk about what sort of BDSM or D/s play he’s interested in. A lot can be assumed during a strictly vanilla sexual encounter—far too much is assumed, far too often—but what goes on during a sexual encounter involving BDSM has to be specifically and explicitly negotiated. If he’s too shy to have a face-to-face conversation about his kinks, do it over email. If he doesn’t feel comfortable sending emails (they live forever on a server, they can be forwarded), tell him to you write you a letter, read it in his presence, then tear it up.

Second tip: The less a newbie dom has to fake during BDSM sex, NQAD, the less daunting the role feels. Instead of pretending that you’re a menacing and experienced dom, incorporate what’s really going on—your boyfriend is so submissive that he’s submitting to his submissive girlfriend, and how perverted is that?—into your play and dirty talk. Then your unfamiliarity with the dom role becomes something you’re bringing to the scene, NQAD, not something that’s causing you to fail at it.

Third tip: A blindfold is an inexperienced dom’s best friend. Not ready to visit your local BDSM sex shoppe? An ACE bandage will do the trick. You’ll feel much less self-conscious if he can’t see you fumbling with rope, suppressing a nervous giggle, or searching high and low for a mislaid key to the handcuffs.

I recently made friends with a guy who is in his first sexual relationship. He comes to me, his best male buddy, with questions, and I try to make sure he’s informed and being safe. But he’s asked me a question about oral sex that I don’t know how to answer. What is a man supposed to do when he’s about to ejaculate during oral sex? I feel like there should be a polite version of “Where do you want it?” that a guy can say to a woman, but I’ll be damned if I can think of it.

Sexual Advice Xactly Our Need

When your friend is getting close—when he’s approaching “orgasmic inevitability,” as the sex researchers call it—he should say, “I’m getting close.” (Duh, right?) And just as he’s passing the point of orgasmic inevitability—his mother kicking down the bedroom door and leading a SWAT team into the room couldn’t keep him from ejaculating—he should say, “I’m coming.”

At that moment, the blowjob bestower—your friend’s new GF, in this case—can remove the dick

from her mouth and point it at her tits or over her shoulder or at his mother. Or she can leave it in her mouth, let him come, and then decide if she wants to spit or swallow. She’s the decider.

I’m a 24-year-old straight girl, and vaginal sex does nothing for me. I feel sexual pleasure in other parts of my body and experience clitoral orgasms, but as far as getting fucked by a dick goes, it’s about as interesting as a finger in a fist. Through googling, I’ve found others with this issue, and the general response to us seems to be that it’s a surmountable mental problem—which is vague and unhelpful.

So I’m asking for the opposite. Is there scientific research about this? Is there hope? Or do I just have to learn to deal? It is lonely and depressing to experience the gold standard that is vaginal sex as a kind of animate masturbatory aid. Also, at what point do I tell my partners I have this malfunction?

Wrong Type Freak

“I’d recommend that she spend some time exploring her vagina, trying different positions, experimenting with placing pressure on the posterior and anterior walls of her vagina, and with friction on her cervix,” says Meredith Chivers, an assistant professor of psychology, a clinical psychologist, and a sexuality researcher at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. “The best position to do all this is with her on top, controlling the speed, depth, and trajectory—for lack of a better word—of the thrusts, and pairing this with clitoral stimulation.”

If you decide to give vaginal intercourse another shot, Chivers also recommends that you warm up with lots of oral sex, toys, masturbation and the other stuff you enjoy. That way you’ll be “engorged, erect, and lubricated, and subjectively turned on” before penetration.

Chivers also wonders if you’ve discovered your G-spot. “If she hasn’t found her G-spot, finding it might be a watershed moment,” says Chivers.

“For some women, G-spot stim is associated with experiencing intense ‘vaginal’ orgasms and ejaculating.” Finding the G-spot can be tricky, Chivers adds, and it’s best to attempt it when you’re very aroused. “Stimulate the anterior wall of the vagina (side nearest the belly button) about five centimeters in,” says Chivers, by using a “come here” motion with the index finger.

And if you try all of that—or if you’ve already tried that—and it doesn’t work?

“Perhaps it simply is the case that for her, like a substantial minority of women, vaginal penetration is not all that fulfilling,” says Chivers. “If so, I would strongly recommend that she reinterpret her lack of interest in vaginal sex as a preference— one that is not uncommon—and not a malfunction.”

“As for telling her partners,” says Chivers, “I suppose it depends on the nature of the relationship and whether or not she’s willing to be GGG and have vaginal sex to satisfy her partner, even though this may not be her first choice on the menu.”

In other words, WTF, if penetration doesn’t cause you emotional or physical distress—if it’s something you can take or leave—tell a new partner early on about your strong preference for other forms of sex. Then indulge the dude in vaginal intercourse when you’re up for it, or he’s desperate for it, while incorporating lots of clitoral stimulation during the act.

Meredith Chivers tweets on sex and gender research, sociopolitical issues relating to sexual and gender minorities, and psych research in general. Follow Chivers—and learn from her— on Twitter @QSagelab. (And you can follow me at @fakedansavage.) n
