PHILLYNOW [Q & A]

Tom Kehoe

The Yards Brewing owner talks sustainability and buffalo

6 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 2 1 - 2 7 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

t was 2008, and Yards Brewing Company, then based in Kensington, was going through changes. After splitting with his former business partner, owner Tom Kehoe decided he’d keep the Yards Brewing name and move the company’s headquarters to the Delaware Avenue waterfront near Northern Liberties with the plan of making Yards the first green brewery in Pennsylvania. Then the recession hit, and it quickly became one of the worst times to launch a major business initiative since the 1930s. And yet, the windpowered brewery sits along the banks of the Delaware River today, with its own tasting room, an assembly line producing hundreds of beers per minute and an expansion under way that’ll further Yards’ presence in the midAtlantic region.

Part of that success, Kehoe says, has to do with the steps he’s taken to make Yards a part of Philadelphia’s food and drink scene: sponsoring local events, having a huge presence during Philadelphia Beer Week, etc. But the other part of it is pretty simple: In good times and bad, people want to sit down with their friends and have a beer.

You had this vision to create a green brewery. Did that ambition make it harder to get the new facility up and running in a time of recession?

Not at all. Just the decisions we made, they were more decisions of, “It might take a little more time, might cost a little bit more,” but it wasn’t enough to say, “This is a no-go.” There were just other things we did going forward, like trying to use recycled materials. Like this room here [the Yards’ tasting room], almost everything we did kept that in mind. Everything is used—this [table] used to be a door, things like that. When we were doing the brewery, we tried to use as much used equipment as we could.

Since then, how has the greenness of the brewery affected how you’ve done business?

One of the cool things is we have a young staff, and they really believed in doing things greener and putting out a product ... the right way. They were like, “Yeah, this is great. I don’t really mind taking an extra 25 minutes and putting the cardboard in the cardboard trashcan area rather than the regular trash area.”

And back then, we were having it picked up by the Pedal Co-op, and they would pedal all of our recycling to Blue Mountain.

Was there any point over the last four or five years when Yards was feeling the recession the way a lot of other people and industries were?

One of the issues with growing into this new brewery is we knew we had to increase our sales, because it was a transition of going from a 30-barrel system to a 50-barrel system; you need to just make more beer to hit your break-even point where you can sustain yourself. Growth didn’t happen overnight. We really had to work on it and really work hard to keep it going.

When we started back up, no one really lost confidence; I think everybody was like, “Ok, great! Yards is back.” They might have been critical in the beginning, but then it was like “OK, tastes like it’s supposed to.” It’s almost like we didn’t skip a beat, but we still had to grow, and that was growing at a tough time.

Within that time, the growth of the industry and the growth of restaurants and bars in the city were really taking off. I think people will always make time, even if it’s [economically] tough out, to go and have a beer with a friend.

Has it become easier since 2008 being a company that utilizes green energy?

It has gotten cheaper to do it. Plus, we are becoming a bigger user at the same time, so that’s actually helping our cost of things.

Once you start using more, they want to start selling you more at a cheaper price. That’s helped.

Besides the recycling and the repurposed materials in the building, what else has the brewery done to go green?

We’re 100 percent wind-powered, so we do the wind credits. We were the first brewery in Pennsylvania to do that, and we continue to do that even though we switched who we were going through. It was Community Energy in the beginning and now it’s Washington Gas and Electric. So it’s all wind power.

And we recycle a lot of things, not just cardboard. Our grain goes to a buffalo farmer to feed the buffalo. Then we use the buffalo here in our chili. The stuff that he can’t take, we send to a cow farm up in Warminster.

We’re also looking at recycling water— we are actually looking at a way to capture rainwater. We may be able to put a tank in the ground to try to do that. It’s in the project phase. We don’t know if it is going to be feasible. We don’t know if it going to be costeffective to do that.

Green giant: Did you know that Yards Brewing Company is 100 percent wind-powered? Did you know the brewery even recycles its grain? Thank this guy, owner Tom Kehoe. We salute you, Yards.

We wouldn’t use the rainwater for brewing.

I think we’d just rather be using the rainwater for washing things down and that extra maintenance water that breweries end up using.

We would be filtering it, and that’s part of the cost of doing it. And it would be less water we’d be using from the Water Department.

Is the beer itself getting ready to move further out in the country?

Nope. We’re still going to stay mid-Atlantic.

We’re growing about 25 percent. In the midAtlantic, there are still areas we still haven’t assigned wholesalers yet. In Pennsylvania, we’re looking to get a wholesaler in York, Pa., and Fulton County by the end of the year. So we’re growing locally—we’d rather grow and get depth than just grow and be shallow in other areas. We really want to have beer that holds on and is going to be here if things change.

Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers! ver the past six months, WalMart workers nationwide have begun strikes and picket lines—most recently in Washington, D.C.—asking their company for higher wages and more hours. On Black Friday, organizers with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Local 1776 and other community groups will bring the fight to the South Philadelphia WalMart on Columbus Boulevard to support the striking workers around the country and those in Philadelphia with labor grievances.

It’s not clear if the South Philly WalMart workers will be on strike for the biggest shopping day of the year (which was born in Philadelphia, by the way). “It’s not a scripted situation,” says UFCW spokesman Bill Epstein. Rather, he says, organizers with UFCW, Fight for Philly and other community groups will be asking customers Friday morning to sign a petition, which the organizers then hope to give to the store’s manager, who (hopefully!) will, in turn, hand it to the president of Wal-Mart. The workers are free to join in, of course.

“What we’re hearing from Wal-Mart workers [in Philadelphia] is they want more hours,” Epstein says. “People are more desperate for work. They can’t raise their family working there. There is a lot of unhappiness working in these stores. If they complain, they get an at-

titude and less hours.”

The company, for its part, seems poised to fight back. Steven Restivo, a Wal-Mart spokesman, told the local CBS affiliate: “We intend to win here at WalMart.” Another spokesman has called the entire controversy an “exaggerated union campaign.”

Fight For Philly spokesman Jesse Kudler assures us that members of the community-organizing group will be at Wal-Mart on Friday to stand in solidarity with workers around the country.

The group has also begun a “Stand With Wal-Mart Strikers on Black Friday” event page on Fight for Philly’s website.

“It may not sound like much to say we’re standing in solidarity and in support,” says Epstein. “We just don’t want this company to lead this nation a race to the bottom, which is what they’re doing.”

On Monday, Wal-Mart filed a legal action against UFCW, claiming the union has been unlawfully disrupted business by staging these protests over the last six months. The company filed the grievance with the National Labor Relations Board for an injunction against rallies, pickets and flash mobs (the real kind).

Epstein says there is no plan for unionization at the Columbus Boulevard WalMart—though they have been in talks with some workers. (Randy LoBasso) Visit phillynow.com for updates on a possible Wal-Mart strike.

“There really are a lot of similarities between Jim Crow-era laws designed specifically for AfricanAmericans and laws today designed for convicts.”

7:50 P.M. ON A MONDAY. THE GANG TALKS COMEDY. It’s Philly Comedy Month, and sketch troupe ManiPedi would like you to join them for a hot dog. Or something.

By Nicole Finkbiner Photography By J.R. Blackwell

issue date December 5 space & ad deadline November 30

hey write their own sketches. They make many of their own costumes and props.

They shoot their own videos. They book their own gigs. And, of course, they have day jobs.

Aubrie Williams, Shannon Brown, Kaitlin Thompson, Briana Kelly and Madonna Marie Refugia: A year into their existence as a troupe, the five comedians who call themselves ManiPedi have already played three big national comedy festivals—the Ladies Are Funny Festival in Austin, Texas; the NYC Sketch Festival and, most recently, the 2012 Chicago Comedy Arts Festival. Closer to home, they’ve built a local fan base playing venues like Connie’s Ric Rac in South Philly, and their humorist peers nominated them for “Best Sketch Troupe in Philadelphia” in the 2011 WitOut Awards.

Marked by razor-sharp writing and an almost insane attention to details, ManiPedi’s particular brand of humor often teeters freely between dark and silly. Their newest video sketch, “The Taco Bell Jar,” stars Briana as a suicidal, Mexican-food-loving Sylvia Plath. There’s not really any big red button they won’t push—preferably, while breaking into a jolly songand-dance number. Take their over-the-top theatrics in the sketch “Everything’s Coming Up Kidnapped,” where Madonna sings about her dreams of becoming famous after having been abducted, while her daughter, Briana, dances in the background, bound and gagged.

So without further ado, here are seven things you absolutely do not need to know about ManiPedi: 1. If Kait sees a hair on your shirt, she will pick it off.

2. Every year, sometimes twice, Briana makes it a point to watch the six-hour BBC version of Pride & Prejudice.

3. Besides being the most glamorous member of the troupe, Madonna is the only one who would actually use the word “fabulous” in everyday conversation.

4. The ladies admit to having comedy crushes on local funny men Alex Newman from the Philly Improv Theater house team Davenger and stand-up comic Aaron Hertzog. (When Shannon, who digs “chubbos,” was little, she had a crush on Chris Farley. Madonna, on the other hand, was all about Norm McDonald.)

5. They all give mad props to fellow local sketch troupes Secret Pants, The Feeko Brothers and Camp Woods. Some of their other favorite funny locals include stand-up comics Darrell Charles, Joe Mayo and Mary Radzinski.

6. During this interview, Kait tried to have roughly eight comments stricken from the record, mostly those of Shannon and Briana.

7. The group agrees that Aubrie is the only member who isn’t an asshole.

KAITLIN THOMPSON Age: 24 Hometown: Warminster, Pa. Current hood: Warminster, Pa. Profession: Human resources researcher Also performs with: Kait & Andrew (improv) Last thing that made her laugh: “My friend Joe tried to get a word out, stuttered over it, and gave up and said something different, Porky Pig-style.”

AUBRIE WILLIAMS Age: 29 Hometown: Glenolden, Pa. Current hood: Rittenhouse Square Profession: Nanny “for two really awesome kids.”

Also performs with: Local Holiday Miracle (sketch) and King Friday (improv) First knew she wanted to be a comedian: “During my acting thesis at Temple, when I got to play a crazy, drunk Texan mom of three, chase people around with bottles of bourbon and uproot potted trees. I felt so comfortable doing that—I realized that I loved that sort of thing and needed to keep at it.”

SHANNON BROWN Age: 23 Hometown: Levittown, Pa. Current hood: Levittown, Pa. Profession: Preschool assistant First knew she wanted to be a comedian: “There is a VHS of my sister and I performing in front of our Christmas tree. We each got a microphone and stand, and the stand had applause and laughter buttons. We sang Spice Girl songs, then I told jokes.”

So sad: Come January, ManiPedi will be losing Shannon to the bright lights of L.A. “It seems like the right choice to make at this point.”

MADONNA MARIE REFUGIA Age: 25 Hometown: Baltimore, Md. Current Neighborhood: South Philadelphia Profession: Executive assistant, The Voice Foundation Also performs with: Camp Woods (sketch) First knew she wanted to be a comedian: “I’ve studied singing and acting my whole life, but it wasn’t until college that I started writing my own material and trying to make people laugh during every moment I was on stage.”

p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m I N o v e m b e r 2 1 - 2 7 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y 1 1

BRIANA KELLY Age: 23 Hometown: Chester Springs, Pa. Current hood: “Still leeching off my parents’ hospitality.”

Profession: Retail clerk/tour guide at the Valley Forge Encampment Store First knew she wanted to be a comedian: “I was kind of a lonely kid and had a hard time expressing myself. When I found out I could make people laugh, it felt like opening up a window.”

Last thing that made her laugh: “A customer at my work just played ‘keep-away’ with me so I couldn’t scan their merchandise. America is weird—and I Iove it.”

On getting the troupe together:

Kaitlin: You know how the Spice Girls just responded to an ad in the newspaper?

Briana: That’s exactly how it happened.

Shannon: Kate being Sporty Spice.

Kaitlin: Fuck right off! I’m not Sporty Spice!

Shannon: You’re obviously Sporty Spice.

Brianna is Scary Spice.

Briana: Goddamnit.

On the je ne sais quoi of Philly humor:

Madonna: One thing that I love about sketch groups in Philly is that we strive to be unlike anybody else.

Briana: There’s a different flavor. I think there’s a higher level of absurdity in Philly. People are batshit crazy, and you can tell—in a really great way.

Madonna: There’s a weirdness to Philly that is not like any other city. For example, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Kaitlin: I like that underdog feeling that Philadelphia has. I pity the douche that comes up to ManiPedi and starts talking shit on the Philly comedy scene. Like, I really do.

On observing people for inspiration:

Madonna: If I’m sitting in Rittenhouse Square, there’s way too many people to watch. I feel like I need to be in a more intimate, coffeehouse setting where I can really fucking watch someone. Like, really stalk the shit out of them.

Shannon: Madonna has drilled dozens of peepholes through walls all over the city.

Madonna: There’s a really good one at the Starbucks at 15th and Walnut. Check it out.

Kaitlin: I base my characters more on someone I know than just someone I’d see on the street because I can flesh it out easier.

And as a lazy person, that’s helpful.

Briana: I come up with a lot of ideas when smoking, showering and walking.

Shannon: She’s always doing one of those things.

Madonna: Or all of them.

Briana: At the same time.

Kaitlin: Walking around, smoking in her shower.

On winning over audiences with female-centric jokes:

Madonna: We’re just finding truth. That’s all it is. We’re finding truth in our own life.

Briana: The best comedy is honest. You’re sharing that part of yourself with an audience.

So what you’re asking them to do is not to come into a woman’s brain, but come into Madonna’s brain, come into Kate’s brain.

Come into Madonna’s vagina— ALL: Oooooohhh— Briana: I’m sorry.

Kaitlin: “Come Into Madonna’s Vagina” should be the headline of this article. Bold and italicized.

Madonna: You’re such a bitch.

Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be immediately offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court.

A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of cash, certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders

made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County.

The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine.

The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale.

All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) “brtweb.phila. gov” for a fuller description of the properties listed. Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215-6861483 and to its website “philadox. phila.gov” and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The “BRT #” refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006

The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ.

Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him.

Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia

“How can we attempt intergalactic travel if you can’t even muster up the energy to do a proper throopledance?”

—Kaitlin in character as Rainbowella, a colorful imaginary friend On the reasons to construct elaborate props for quick gags, as seen in their sketch “Food Fight,” in which they don large, handmade food costumes and duke it out:

Aubrie: It’s a labor of love. You can literally make anything out of anything. You just have to be willing to spend the time to do it.

Madonna: I think it means more to the audience if they see that you’ve put so much effort into this one three-to-five minute bullshit piece.

Kaitlin: … that you’re probably only going to do twice in one city maximum. Those costumes got torn up, and we may or may not ever do that sketch again.

On the troupe’s comedic compatibility:

Kaitlin: We all just happen to laugh at the same disgusting jokes. Some of our shows get really dark.

Madonna: We’re all open to really weird comedy. Not just your everyday sitcom shit…

You need to be working with people that are funnier than you or just as funny, so that they can call your bluff in a sketch. A lot of us write really lazy endings and just try to avoid rewriting shit. It’s great to have girls who are really nitpicky.

Shannon: We don’t always agree on things, but I think that’s to be said for every group.

On guilty pleasures:

Madonna: I don’t believe in pleasures that are guilty. I’m shameless.

Kaitlin: Every reality show you watch, you should feel a little guiltier. My sister watches all that shit. Anything that has a midget or a Mormon or it makes cakes. Combine all those things into one show where you get voted out of your Mormon family cause you’re the worst midget that makes cakes, and then I will totally watch it.

On what it would be like to do a show with their mothers, having recently performed a whole show full of crazy-mom sketches:

Kaitlin: Sweet Jesus Christ.

Aubrie: My mom would be game.

Shannon: I think that would just piss my mom off.

Kaitlin: I have a really supportive mom as

long as she doesn’t know what I’m doing. She just knows that I’m busy doing something that’s not stealing cars.

Shannon: Kait had to move into the shed once she started doing comedy.

Kaitlin: No, it’s because I didn’t put the dishes in the dishwasher right.

On why people should bother going out to see live comedy:

Kaitlin: Because it’s cheap, and it’s BYOB, asshole.

Aubrie: There’s so much live art and theater going on in the city, and comedy is probably, like, your cheapest option. And if you see something you don’t like, be willing to give it another shot.

Madonna: Get off the Internet.

Kaitlin: Yeah, live comedy is definitely its own thing. If you see a bad Internet video, you’re not going to be like, “I’m done with you, Internet!”

Briana: Who doesn’t like comedy? Think about any 18-year-old freshman in college who’s passing a “J” around—what are they watching? They’re watching shit on YouTube; they’re watching the fucking Daily Show.

People are hooked into comedy in a way that they weren’t 20 years ago. It’s all around them. So get them away from the screens, and get them in front of live comedy.

On competing in Underdogs’ “Underdog Challenge,” eating all 22 varieties of hot dogs so that ManiPedi can get its name on the wall (10 down, 12 to go):

Madonna: That’s how we’re going to get the hot-dog loving guys.

P.S. When Madonna gets really drunk, she loses feeling in her hands and feet. That’s why the group is called ManiPedi. Aubrie is concerned Madonna may be suffering from some form of nerve damage and really thinks she should get this checked out.

ManiPedi will perform at the Philly Improv Theater on Nov. 30, the monthly Polygon show at L’Etage on Dec. 11, and as part of Secret Pants Christmas Show at Johnny Brenda’s on Dec. 23. All upcoming show info can be found at manipedisketch.com.

SUFJAN STEVENS

Like a trendy haircut seen in a photograph years later, Sufjan Stevens seems interested in putting as much distance as he artistically can between himself and 2005’s bubbly chamber-pop breakthrough Illinoise. This led to 2009’s classical Koyaanisqatsistyle instrumental album, The BQE, and the clattering electronic-inflected manner of 2010’s The Age of Adz. The warm, fey orchestral flourishes are all but absent, though Stevens is still a meticulous producer of deftly arranged pop, just with a darker, weirder, more mechanistic undertone. He also possesses an abundance of Christmas cheer, evident last week when he released his second, 58-track collection of Christmas standards, Silver & Gold, the follow-up to 2006’s Songs for Christmas, emblematic of Stevens’ playful pop culture-biting idiosyncrasy.

KID KOALA

12 bit Blues, the latest record from Canadian DJ/ producer Kid Koala, comes with one incredibly enticing gimmick. Limited runs of Blues CDs and LPs are packaged with a miniature flexi-disc and a small DIY cardboard gramophone kit. Put in some arts-and-crafts elbow grease, and voilà: The contraption plays the vinyl without any electricity.

While the item certainly isn’t a necessity, its playfulness makes it hard to turn down, plus it marks another experiment from a guy smitten with them. In the past, Koala (born Eric San) has made video games and comics to accompany his music and DJed events where dancing is prohibited in favor of drawing and writing. Sonically, 12 bit Blues finds him fileting and re-arranging old blues tunes into tasty beats that could pass for golden age hiphop tunes. Koala’s current Vinyl Vaudeville Tour is decidedly off-kilter-sounding, too: A press release promises no less than puppets, robots, dancing girls, parlor games and that cardboard turntable in gargantuan form.

LAMB OF GOD

Lamb of God’s last tour, slated for the summer, was canceled when frontman Randy Blythe spent 35 days in a Czech jail, charged with manslaughter in the 2010 death of a fan at a Prague concert.

Police say Blythe pushed the fan off the stage.

He hit his head, went into a coma and later died.

(Weirdly, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube.) Blythe was released on bail last August, but still faces trial. For the moment, though, it’s devil horns up for the Richmond, Va.-based headbangers, who bring blistering riffs, hair-tossing theatrics and throat-shredding aggression to a temporarily interrupted party. They’ll be showcasing Resolution, their seventh album in 13 years, which Q magazine called “a furious and unrelenting broadside of searing riffs and invention.”

LET THE ROOTS SHOW

The legendary African-American dance company Kulu Mele continues to build on the dance and music of Africa and the African Diaspora with their new Let the Roots Show. Produced in collaboration with The Requisite Movers (which was formed in 2012 to produce the works of black movement artists), the show celebrates a number of local emerging choreographers whose work is rooted in and inspired by African dance. Part of Kulu Mele’s Dance to the Rhythm of the Drum, the two-evening program features five separate dances. The evening is anchored by Kule Mele’s classic piece Oya, which is choreographed by the company’s legendary artistic director Dorothy Wilkie. The revised version tells the story of Oya, who, when enraged, creates all manner of turbulence, including tornadoes and hurricanes. Other works from Kulu inlcude Wassolonka Suite—with choreography by Cachet Ivey—and Acacia Reed’s Triba. The Requisite Movers is represented by choreographer Lela Aisha Jones’ “living-moving history” Gathering and Street Grace Series: Native Portals of Lynching and Love, a collection of short performance works that blur “textual and bodily memories.” J.

SCOTT WEILAND

Having fronted Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver at different points over the last two decades, Scott Weiland’s Greatest Hits Tour figures to have plenty of songs for him to choose from. If he is talking about his solo work, however, then that will be a different story—he has never been able to duplicate STP’s or Velvet Revolver’s level of success. Likely entries from his solo work could include the STP-esque “Barbarella” or the kooky “Lady, Your Roof Brings Me Down” from 12 Bar Blues, as well as the rocker “Missing Cleveland” from Happy in Galoshes. If he wants to be daring, though, maybe he’ll do his surprisingly cool rendition of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” from his 2011 Christmas album The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. That said, here’s hoping he breaks out “Plush,” “Big Empty” and “Vaseline” while he’s at it. BRIAN PALMER

TUES 27 [THEATER]

SATCHMO AT THE WALDORF

In 2004, John Douglas Thompson appeared at the Wilma Theater, where he captured the

Barrymore Award for his performance in Jesus Hopped the A Train. It was a harbinger of things to come: Following a string of brilliant performances as Macbeth, Othello, and the title character in Eugene O’Neill’s Emperor Jones, Thompson is now rightfully considered America’s greatest classical actor. This week, Thompson returns to the place where he experienced his first significant success when he occupies the Wilma’s stage for a limited engagement of Terry Teachout’s Satchmo at the Waldorf. The play is set in 1971 in the waning days of Louis Armstrong’s illustrious life and career. Thompson’s performance (which never attempts to mimic Armstrong but instead capture his unique character) draws a sharp distinction between Armstrong’s joyful public persona and the private man who spewed obscenities and harbored bitterness so deep that it gnawed at his soul. An uncommonly powerful and patient actor, Thompson displays his versatility portraying not only the distinctive Armstrong, but also the musician’s slimy-smooth white business manager and Miles Davis, who criticized Armstrong for his cozy relationship with white audiences. A last minute addition to the Wilma’s schedule, Satchmo should give local theatergoers at least one reason to be grateful this Thanksgiving. J.C.R. 6:30pm. $19.50-$34. Through Dec. 2.

CIVIL TWILIGHT

Listening to Civil Twilight is like combining the musical sensibilities of Keane, the lyrical mien of Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley and the vocals of Fran Healy of the band Travis and enjoying the concoction that results. The brooding piano rock number “Letters from the Sky,” from their self-titled 2010 debut LP, is a chilling track about longing for a future free of fear, and their sophomore release, Holy Weather, deftly explores the emotional depths of the human experience and engages the listener with a broad palette of sounds. “Fire Escape” entrances with its mixture of danceable pop rock, ethereal-yet-ominous guitar licks and lyrics about yearning for more than life currently offers, and when the band slows it down on the ambient piano ballad “It’s Over,” lead singer Steven McKellar’s quiet, barely-there vocals make for the perfect accompaniment. Civil Twilight makes smart, accessible music that resonates emotionally and challenges intellectually, and Holy Weather is undeniable proof. B.P. 8pm. $15-$17. With Modern Inventors. The Note, 142 E.

ust realized you should probably bring a dish to your Thanksgiving dinner? No worries: I’ve got you covered. In a mere 30 minutes, Chef Mitch Prensky, owner of the South Street restaurant Supper, showed me how to make a unique, scrumptious and harvest-appropriate cornbread stuffing.

Seriously: 15 minutes in the supermarket, 15 minutes to cook. Done.

As Supper is conveniently located just across the street from Whole Foods, Mitch had me tag along as he went to purchase the necessary ingredients, all pre-cut and individually packaged.

Obviously, you’d save a few extra bucks by buying the vegetables whole and chopping them yourself—or by avoiding Whole Foods altogether—but the prices really weren’t bad; our total came to $17.81 for a portion that will serve 4 to 6. “Whenever I come in here with my chef jacket on, people always want to ask me questions,” Mitch joked as we dashed toward the checkout, but the man clearly knows how to work a supermarket—technically, our shopping trip took less than 15 minutes.

Back at the restaurant, we threw our ham bits onto the stove—a stove so powerful that even standing three feet away, I felt like my face was going to melt off. Before the veggies and ham were done, Mitch whipped out a surprise ingredient: a can of Victory’s pale ale (which you could also substitute with white wine or any beer in your fridge that isn’t really dark). As we poured a little into the sautéing concoction, he explained that the lager would add an extra bit of yeasty goodness and that we were cooking it just long enough to “get that raw beer funkiness to go away.” In other words, if it smells like beer, it’s not done.

After picking apart the thyme, warming up the turkey stock, crushing up the cornbread and melting a chunk of butter, we slowly mixed it all together. If you’re wondering what the ideal consistency for stuffing is, you want it “mushy but juicy”— definitely not dry. (Consider leaving the cornbread out overnight, as stale bread absorbs more stock.)

For any turkey cookers out there, Mitch also offers this warning: Always cook your stuffing separately, never in-

side the turkey! Nothing ruins a dinner quite like salmonella poisoning. (Note: If you’ve already made this mistake, or have been ostracized by your family due to a previous dinner disaster, Supper will be open for business, serving up a four-course Thanksgiving feast. Just something to keep in mind.)

Now, I’ve never been a big stuffing fan, but I can tell you our dish was far from any of the bland, spongy crap I’ve ever had. (Sorry, Mom.) In addition to the sweetness of the cornbread, both the celery and ham added their own kick. It’s also pretty filling: One tablespoon scoop was about all I could take.

Still, having only used half of each ingredient, you might as well grab another pound of cornbread and make extra.

While we stuffed ourselves with stuffing, Mitch dished out a few more nuggets of culinary wisdom: “Eat really good, fresh food, and eat it in season. Then you’ll be tasting things when they’re at their peak.” For nonadventurous eaters, he recommends taking things slow: “Don’t go out there and eat tongues and intestines right away.

That’s, like, intermediate level.”

I assured him this wasn’t a problem

as I have no intention of eating tongues or intestines any time soon. For me, cornbread stuffing is intermediate.

Mitch asked if my past two lessons* have inspired me to start spending more time in the kitchen yet; I had to admit that I only really get into cooking when it’s for someone else. “Oh, yeah,” he said, “it can’t just be for yourself. There’s nothing lonelier than soup for one.”

Oh, I know that bowl of loneliness all too well—two to three times a week, in fact. Much to my surprise, Mitch then confessed that he doesn’t cook on his days off unless it’s for his wife (and Supper co-owner) Jennifer; when he’s on his own, he just eats cereal. Not only did this make me feel better about myself, it got me thinking that perhaps while learning about food, I should also be making a concerted effort to nab myself a mate.

So if you’re a single, chubby, local chef between the ages of 25-30, holla at me. You bring the food, I’ll bring the charm. n * Find this week’s cornbread stuffing recipe, plus Nicole’s past columns, online at blogs.philadelphiaweekly.com/style.

promotion presents: November’s featured mixologist, Glenn Mutz

Mutz enjoys that the life of a bartender means he becomes very familiar with the people he sees—strangers as well as his regulars. “You’d think you’d be dealing with a specific type of person,” he says, “but really you run into people who have never been into a bar in their life. Or you run into people who go to bars all the time. The spot where we’re at—it’s almost like a neighborhood bar.”

When asked what he thinks it takes to be a great bartender, Mutz says the best trait is simply being able to recover well from the unexpected. “Surprises are always neat,” he deadpans. He hears outrageous stories across the bar on a frequent basis; pay The C-Bar a visit, and maybe you’ll hear some yourself.

atrons of The C-Bar at Harrah’s Philadelphia in Chester, Pa., love bartender Glenn Mutz’s down-to-earth personality. He comes by it honestly: He got his training simply from long experience as a patron himself. “I realized through many years of sitting at bars,” he says, “that I knew a lot more about bartending than I thought.”

For all that, it’s a simple and affordable lineup, broken up into sandwiches, smoked meats and sides: It’s all so easy to navigate and makes grabbing a quick sandwich on the way home from work very simple. Standing at the pinnacle of the sandwich menu is the Korean beef sandwich; the meat is tender, juicy and full of sweet and savory flavor. Delightfully sour kimchi mixes with sweet pear ginger vinaigrette, threatening to reinvent your concept of what’s fundamental to the palate. It’s all topped with crispy shallots and sprinkled with sesame seeds that add an extra pop of nutty flavor. (Cristina Perachio)

The Industry Bar does a lot of things right— especially if by “a lot of things” you mean “appetizing carnivorous dishes—but their specialty has to be their creative spin on a wide range of pig parts. Pig ears, as flawlessly cooked as any I’ve had, snap like a hearty cracker, exposing the lava-like inner world of cartilage and gelatin. Too much? You can always stick to theclassic hamburger, consisting of LaFrieda’s ground brisket, Cabot’s cheddar and a smear of pickle mayonnaise.

Industry’s fair prices are notable as well; you can eat and drink heartily here without breaking the bank, and it’s the kind of place where you want a pint of beer with your meal. (B.F.)

Ramen has the potential to be one of the more deeply comforting and affordable meals around, and Nom Nom Ramen, on 18th Street just off of Market, is doing a nice job of promoting it. Shio is arguably the standard-bearer here: It’s built on the base of a tonkotsu broth, amped up with salt and white soy sauce, that benefits from having been simmered with pork bone. Shoyu is more savory still—the addition of soy sauce highlights the darker flavors of the broth, the meatiness of it. Karai miso sizzles with a pleasant, tingling heat. The broth itself, a creamy miso tonkotsu, glows sunset-toned, and the sweet-earthy black garlic sauce atop the pork belly provides an excellent counterpart. All of these are wonderfully successful meals-in-a-bowl; if you work in the area, it’s a great under-$10 lunchtime option. Or dinner. Or night-out snack. (B.F.)

SPENCER ETA BURGER

227 N. 34th St. 215.222.1022. spenceretaburger.com Cuisine: Burgers.

This is a kitchen that finds its inspiration in Italian and Mediterranean classics, and then proceeds to tweak or chef-ify them into something more modern without losing what’s always made them so beloved in the first place. Fried polenta was perfect for a blustery winter’s night, each fluffy-centered cornmeal and semolina baton encased in a perfectly golden crust and complicated by both fontina and parmigiano reggiano, as well as an anchovy-spiked salsa rosa. Tagliatelle was also masterfully crafted, each silky ribbon just rough-sided enough to hold onto a perfect amount of accompanying rosemary-scented pork-leg ragu, all succulent and dense-flavored. Rosemary cake with a lemonzipped ricotta marching across the plate justified bringing a bottle of good Moscato d’Asti to pop alongside. Chef Scarpone will likely have exactly what he aims for once again: a friendly, successful BYOB that neighbors can call their own, and that’s worth the drive (and the fight for parking) to visit. (B.F.)

It’s all about the toppings. Take, for instance, the Greek burger: The Vesuvius of sweet roasted bell peppers, the tangle of spinach capped with tomato and grilled eggplant, the funky black olive tapenade and tangy feta, the onion-chickpea-cucumber slaw, the roasted garlic aioli—all of it lent the veggie patty I opted for an excitement it’s rarely lavished with. The beef burgers are absolutely fine, mind you—plenty juicy and seasoned with a deft hand—but the toppings at Spencer ETA Burger tend to be so generously applied, and occasionally so baroque in their constituent combination of components, they simply steal the proverbial show.

SQUARE PEG

929 Walnut St. 215.413.3600. squarepegrestaurant.com Cuisine: American classics with a twist.

Square Peg’s Sunday brunch menu offers enough tweaks to keep things interesting.

Grilled cheese is stuffed with mac ’n’ cheese; it’s a gluttonous, satisfyingly uncomplicated dish, successfully mixing the gooey and the crisp. An omelet is filled with a smoked goat cheese that highlights the sweetness of the eggs themselves. The breakfast sandwich is a massive, fat torpedo, the eggs just drippy enough, the chihuahua cheese melting throughout, the homemade chorizo sizzling with a low-level spice that’s more implied than realized; porkiness is the focus here. All in all, an appealing addition to our everexpanding base of weekend-morning dining options. (B.F.)

Friendly staff and a relaxed space make for a pleasant atmosphere. Add that the price per dish doesn’t exceed $6.25, and suddenly this place is your new fave Philly spot. While most of the menu is familiar, subtle flavors and attentively cooked meat send Vietnam House to the forefront. An unfussy dish of broken rice with BBQ chicken arrives with the classic garnishes of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers—but the chicken is perfectly charred on the outside while maintaining a moist center. Wash the meal down with an iced coffee with condensed milk and you’ll never sleep again. (B.F.)

ART

How the West Was Won Over The West Collects Philadelphia City Hall exhibit shows a foundation’s appreciation of local artistic talent.

By Katherine Rochester // krochester@philadelphiaweekly.com i, Tim—I’m the other Tim,” says Tim Eads, extending his hand to fellow artist Tim Portlock.

Both are in high spirits. As Philadelphiabased artists, they’ve each won a coveted spot in West Collects Philadelphia, an exhibition at City Hall highlighting new acquisitions of Philadelphia-made artwork by the West Foundation. It’s sort of a big deal.

Although the West Foundation had been collecting art for 15 years, the recession fundamentally challenged their philosophy. When the markets crashed in 2008, the West—founded by Al West of the financial services firm SEI in Oaks, Pa.— decided to make the most of their diminished resources. “We adopted a new approach,” says West Collection Director Lee Stoetzel. In a radical shift away from acquiring work exclusively from galleries and dealers, he says, they chose to democratize the process. “We decided to use the $100,000 we had and let artists apply.” Word traveled fast, and before they knew it, 4,250 artists from 80 countries had applied. “It was an unbelievable situation,” recalls Stoetzel. “It made us realize that it’s possible to collect great work that is also affordable.”

And a lot of that work seemed to be coming out of Philadelphia.

“In the first three years, we were totally blind making the selection, and we were always surprised by how many Philadelphia artists we ended up choosing,” says West. Stoetzel agrees, noting that, in the end, about one-third of the artists selected each year lived and worked in Philadelphia or the surrounding region. “We enlarged the budget, so this year, we thought, why not formalize it and dedicate $100,000 to Philadelphia artists?” Stoetzel used the newly dedicated West Collects Philadelphia Initiative funds to acquire work by 10 Philadelphia artists. “Not many people realize how much good art is being made here,” adds West, who hopes to change that.

But it’s no news to Philly artists that their peers have some serious talent.

“It’s great because I’m friends with a lot of the artists chosen this year,” says Portlock, whose large-format digital print shows a crepuscular scene of a digitally deteriorated yet strangely beautiful Philadelphia. Eads was quick to agree.

Streets of Philadelphia: Tim Portlock’s inkjet print, “Salon,” is among the works on display in West Collects Philadelphia at City Hall.

“I’m excited that out of all the amazing Philly artists, I tricked them into accepting me. The fact that there’s a foundation supporting unrepresented artists and Philadelphia artists is amazing.”

While Eads, Portlock and other West Collects Philadelphia Initiative artists are enthusiastic about their entrée into so dynamic a collection, they remain nonplussed about City Hall as a venue. Portlock’s inkjet print, “Salon” (2012), sums it up nicely: In a blighted cityscape, City Hall sits on the horizon as an ambiguous symbol of either civic hope or bureaucratic failure. In life, as in art, the real City Hall seems like an imperfect compromise. The space inside is dismal and—as usual—some of the art has been shoved into vitrines and stuck out in the hallway for people to ignore. On the other hand, it’s encouraging to see the city support the West initiative.

“It’s a challenge, for sure, because it is a public government building, not the

white-walled space and open environment that you’d love,” acknowledges Paige West, the collection’s curator. “But we’re interested in how to introduce our artists to a broader community, and the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy has been very welcoming.”

What City Hall may lack in glamour, then, it makes up for in convenience. Located 20 miles outside the city and open by appointment only, the West lies well off the beaten path of most Philadelphia art lovers. “I think part of the decision to partner with the Office of Arts and Culture had to do with location,” observed artist Mark Stockton, whose larger-than life drawing of Arnold Schwarzenegger threatens to flex its way out of the cramped gallery. “It’s kind of a hassle to go out to see the West.” ■ Through Feb. 22, 2013.

By J. Cooper Robb // jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com heatre Exile continues its mission to present unique and original drama with its world-premiere production of New Jersey playwright Lucile Lichtblau’s intriguing drama The English Bride. It’s a play full of questionable truths; the one fact we can be absolutely certain of is the historical incident that inspired the playwright in the first place.

On April 17, 1986, a pregnant Irish woman named Anne-Marie Murphy was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport after an explosive device was discovered in her suitcase moments before she was scheduled to board an El-Al 747 bound for Tel Aviv. Murphy’s fiancé, Nezar Hindawi, was accused of putting the device in her luggage without her knowledge. Hindawi was convicted of attempting to kill all 347 people aboard the Israeli airline and sentenced to 45 years in a British prison.

The twisting tale, with its potential link to state-sponsored terrorism, is rife with dramatic possibilities, but Bride is not a play about international espionage and terror in the sky. Instead, Lichtblau explains in the show’s program that her reasons for writing Bride were two-fold: “I wanted to see if I could make sense out of a situation that, at first, seemed incomprehensible to me. I also wanted to depict the character of the Arab man as a human being, not as a villain.” We do come to see the attempted murderer (who, in Bride, is named Ali, sharply played by veteran actor J Paul Nicholas) as a human being, albeit a villainous one. And while it is impossible to justify the killing of innocents, Lichtblau makes a compelling case for how the chain of events that led to a bomb in Murphy’s luggage might have occurred.

The English Bride focuses less on the crime than the relationship between Ali and an Irish woman named Eileen (Corinna Burns).

The play’s third character, an Israeli inspector named Dov, is noticeably underdeveloped and serves more as a device than a fully formed character, despite a fine performance

by Damon Bonetti. But in Ali and especially Eileen, Lichtblau gives us two of the season’s most interesting figures.

Directed with careful attention to detail by Deborah Block, the play depicts an Ali whose air of confidence borders on arrogance. Beneath his conceit is a conflicted and uncertain man whose desire to embrace Western modernism is at odds with his Middle Eastern upbringing. What makes Ali such a tricky role to play is that he often lies, a character flaw shared by Eileen and even Dov. If he is to be

A searing performance: J Paul Nicholas is undeniably enigmatic as Ali in The English Bride.

believed, Ali wants to murder Eileen because her pregnancy would “kill” his mother; the detective sardonically notes that perhaps Ali’s solution is “a bit over the top.”

While Nicholas’ Ali is undeniably enigmatic, it is Burns’ Eileen that most captures our interest. Burns gives a heartbreaking performance as a woman who describes herself as “plain,” stuck in “a dead-end job and dead-end life.” “Never trust a man who smiles because there’s nothing to smile about,” her unseen mother advises, but her mom’s cynicism only makes Eileen more desperate to find someone to share a life with. She is so intoxicated by Ali’s show of affection that she converts to Islam and even agrees to fly alone to the Middle East ostensibly to meet his parents. While Ali is guilty of attempted murder, Eileen’s only crime is the desire to be loved.

So, why did Ali plant a bomb in his fiancée’s suitcase, believing it would blow her and everyone else on the plane to smithereens? The English Bride doesn’t offer any easy answers.

Then again, maybe Eileen’s mother is correct when she tells her daughter that “the world is full of wickedness.” n Through Dec. 2. $20-$34. Theatre Exile’s Studio X, 1340 S. 13th St. theatreexile.org

SIX PACK Six Incredible Things Done by Holy Motors Star Denis Lavant

By Matt Prigge // mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Mauvais Sang (1986): The inhumanly flexible, vaguely rat-faced thespian Denis Lavant is still obscure in America.

That’s a shame: If anyone was tailor-made for the Internet age, it’s Lavant, crazy clips of whom ought to be fixtures of the web’s many time-suck sites. Lavant and expressionist filmmaker Leos Carax have one of the great director-star unions, including the new Holy Motors (see below and right). In their first joint venture, Lavant plays a philosophical crook in love with Juliette Binoche. His passion manifests itself in a scene where, to David Bowie’s “Modern Love,” he runs barreling down an empty city street at night, busting out flips. It’s the purest expression of joy I’ve seen on film. YouTube it, as with all of these.

3 8 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 2 1 - 2 7 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

>> Mauvais Sang

The Lovers on the Bridge (1991): Carax cast Lavant and Binoche again for his tale of amour fou between the homeless. Of its many unusual qualities, the strangest is, of course, Lavant, a most feral romantic lead. He’s also a fire breather, yielding a few show-stopping demonstrations.

“Rabbit in Your Headlights” (1998): Noted filmmakers who aren’t Carax have been slow to use Lavant. So, kudos to director Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast), who cast him in his music video for U.N.K.L.E. (with Thom Yorke on vocals).

Lavant plays a mysterious, crazy, hooded drifter casually strolling through a traffic tunnel. He’s repeatedly hit by cars, only to get up, again and again, until a stunning climax.

Beau Travail (1999): Claire Denis’ abstract goof on Billy Budd stars Lavant as the closeted sergeant, although he doesn’t really show off his stuff until the bizarre coda: In a mirrored room that’s blasting DeBarge’s “Rhythm of the Night,” Lavant cavorts insanely, flinging himself across the room and flopping about like a fish.

Mister Lonely (2007): Harmony Korine’s film about sad celebrity impersonators includes Lavant’s Charles Chaplin, who dresses like The Tramp but acts like Hitler.

Holy Motors (2012): Carax’s latest is his bugfuckiest, with Lavant as a shape-shifting being driven in a limo to different loopy episodes, including a reappearance of the leprechaun-like beastie he played in Carax’s Tokyo! short.

It’s also his saddest. Lavant is tired. At 51, he only has so many absurdly acrobatic years left. But it’s not too late. n

Holy Motors Can’t Be Classified, But You Won’t Care Who knew? An invigorating movie experience is possible without knowing what the hell’s going on.

By Sean Burns // sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com o, I don’t know what it is, either.

But I do know that it’s brilliant.

Leos Carax’s unclassifiable Holy Motors is about a great many things, the death of cinema being first and foremost on its mind. This is a topic that folks above my pay grade have weighed in upon with some lengthy essays quite recently, as it seems prolonged exposure to any single art form for too long leads to writing tired, navel-gazing Sunday thumbsucker obituaries that only other film critics read.

Carax begins by pining for those good old days with one of many artful tableaux, and then explodes the whole damn structure. Holy Motors is confounding and audacious. Jean-Luc Godard’s Weekend for the digital era, both exuberant and melancholy, it’s a movie about an allegedly dying art form that is thrillingly alive.

A little in the way of explanation: The chameleonic Denis Lavant stars as Monsieur Oscar, traveling from place to place in the back of a white stretch limo, donning some shockingly good prosthetic makeup as he moves from “appointment” to “appointment”–dropping in for brief scenes as different characters in various movies belonging to wildly disparate genres.

Later on, there will be some discussion with an agent, as Oscar laments the shrinking of the cameras and digital diaspora. Nothing is like it used to be.

So, what are we seeing: kamikaze reality show art? I’m not sure, and I’m not sure it even matters. What makes Holy Motors such an invigorating movie experience is that Oscar keeps showing up in one scene after another, and their context is beside the point, the artifice often acknowledged out loud.

I think the actual point is the rush of great storytelling, the way we’re seduced and drawn into each single set-piece by nothing more than Lavant’s astonishing gallery of faces and Carax’s directorial braggadocio. It’s pure cinema, dropping all the baggage and designed with no other end than to provoke, titillate and disturb. And not always in that order.

What to say about a sequence in which Lavant (reprising his Mr. Merde character from Carax’s contribution to

Wanted attention: Eva Mendes (left) plays a model opposite Denis Lavant’s homeless man in the exuberant Holy Motors.

the omnibus film Tokyo!) emerges from a sewer as a muttering, Wonka-clad homeless man and seduces Eva Mendes’ Eurotrash supermodel away from a photo shoot while trying to ignore his raging hard-on?

Or how about a long, quiet dialoguedriven scene in which Lavant’s sad-sack driver must face up to the disappointment of his teenage daughter’s constant lies? There’s also a gorgeous bit of business with Kylie Minogue as a maybeactress-maybe-airline-stewardess belting out a farewell ballad to her long-lost love. This scene, like so many others, remains stubbornly unresolved.

Holy Motors does not take place on any prescribed plane where one thing leads to another. It is a collection of moments, often the worst, most final endings of relationships, and then it invariably rolls along to the next stop.

Smarter folks than I have done a fair job parsing this movie’s dense thicket of references; I’ve been informed one scene quotes a Thomas Hardy book almost verbatim, and the allusions to Carax’s previous work and commercially disastrous film career abound. But much like those early Godard movies from which Holy Motors takes its cues, the smarty-pants shout-outs are just icing on the cake.

Trust me, it’s entirely possible to have an intense, emotional response to this movie without knowing what the hell is going on most of the time.

Not sure if I even have the words for a mid-movie musical interlude that takes place in a single, unbroken shot. A fiery, almost possessed Lavant marches forward whaling on an accordion, and gradually the background becomes populated with similarly furious musicians working the same stomp beat. Corners are turned, and the crowd fills in with drums, bass and an electric guitar. The song mushrooms into a defiant anthem, and then they’re all gone just as quickly as they arrived. Every movie needs an intermission like this one.

Slyly answering Comsmopolis’ question as to where all these limousines go at the end of the day, Holy Motors ends on a hilarious prank that once again is infused with a peculiar sadness.

Cinema is dead. Long live cinema. ■

Anna Karenina

Joe Wright may be the hyperkinetic director of Anna Karenina’s 12th screen iteration, but another credit should jump out, too: screenwriter Tom Stoppard. The idea seems to be one of credibility, as if the producers were assuring us, “Don’t worry that this hotshot filmmaker is abusing Leo Tolstoy with showy long takes, Keira Knightley’s funky jaw and other modernist vices, because the whole enterprise is anchored by an actual writer who actually read the book.” The thing is, Stoppard’s contribution is mostly his name and reputation, his adaptation little more than a gutting of a massive doorstop, an expert summary of its events. And an expert summary, to paraphrase an old lit professor, will get you an F. Wright and Stoppard’s Anna Karenina doesn’t deserve a failing grade: It’s far more watchable than it should be, considering neither director nor writer is remotely able to get inside the emotions and subtleties of their source. They’re not the first to whittle Tolstoy down to pure plot and movie star vamping: the first (of two!) Greta Garbo takes on the novel, amusingly retitled Love, actually tacks on a happy ending. Knightley, reuniting with her Pride & Prejudice and Atonement boss, smolders just fine as she goes from kept wife (to Jude Law’s balding, passive-aggressive cuckold Alexei) to passionate affairee (with Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s narcissistic Count Vronsky) to disgraced future train meat.

She’s mostly on her own. Though Law knows how to shade in the nuances not in the script, Taylor-Johnson is listless when he’s not OD’ing on self-love, while Matthew Macfadyen, as Anna’s bureaucrat brother, seems to be spliced in from a far wackier film. A wacky tone would better suit Wright; if he’s good for anything, it’s not amping up classic lit, but helming Eurotrash art-action films like the enjoyably nutso Hanna. Here, he busts out Max Ophüls-style long takes, but forgets that Ophüls laced his acrobatic camera movements with real, deep feeling.

Wright doesn’t seem to care about the material insofar as it allows him to present a “bold new vision.” And so his Anna Karenina involves cutaways to model trains and scenes that take place on a stage for no reason than “Hey, wouldn’t that shit be so weird in an adaptation of Anna Karenina?” (Matt Prigge)

Life of Pi

Yann Martel’s 2001 novel Life of Pi sold enough copies to reside on a sizable chunk of the world’s bookshelves, but the story really only works as a movie. Perhaps not this movie—that is, Ang Lee’s mostly respectable, mostly diverting, somewhat hobbled mega-budgeted prestige adaptation. Like 127 Hours, Life of Pi spends most of its time trapping us with a solitary man: Indian teen Piscine Patel, aka Pi (Suraj Sharma), is the lone survivor of a sunken freighter. Alas, he has to share a roomy lifeboat with a quartet of animals (long story), whose numbers quickly shrink to just one: a hungry, pissy, angry Bengal tiger named Richard Parker (another long story). Pi spends 227 days adrift, rationing supplies, catching fish and trying to both outsmart and tame his feral lifeboat-mate, while Lee tries even harder to keep this cinematically interesting.

The shiniest weapon in Lee’s arsenal is 3-D, and like the technology’s best practitioners, he doesn’t rely solely on shit comin’ at ya.

His 3-D is subtle without being, you know, subtle, used more for depth of field and for waves, which routinely lap up and down right “in front” of our eyes. Though Pi should be seen in three dimensions, it will have a life after theaters because Lee knows to use good old-fashioned filmmaking. As Alfred Hitchcock did with Lifeboat, Lee always finds new ways and new angles with which to shoot what should be visually redundant.

Soon, our hero’s grip on reality loosens, and Lee starts filling the screen with outrageous colors: yellow sunsets, neon-blue waters, hot-purple plants. But things are more gripping when it’s little more than expertly chosen shots.

It’s also, needless to say, better at sea than on land. Pi is only the third movie Lee has ever directed without screenwriter James Schamus. His scripts can be overly novelistic, but surely he’d fare better than David Magee (Finding Neverland), whose adaptation is a clumsy mash of idiosyncratic detail, listless framing devices and religious goop (from the novel, but still). The Job-like story, we’re assured, will “make you believe in God.” No, but I do believe that Ang Lee can direct the shit out of nothing but some dude on a boat trying not to die and/or become lunch.

Freeway may not be Philly’s most successful rapper, but he definitely represents the city like no other MC.

By Chris Wilder // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

PAUL VAN DYK

4 2 p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y I N o v e m b e r 2 1 - 2 7 , 2 0 1 2 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m

@ SoundGarden Hall Likely one of the world’s most famous DJs, Paul van Dyk rose out of the trance movement of the ‘90s and into the global vernacular, although for his generation, the music was about more than just dancing.

Growing up in the ‘80s behind the Berlin Wall in East Germany, van Dyk’s musical upbringing was formed by smuggled cassette tapes passed among his friends. As journalist Felix Denk explained this year in a New York Times interview, “Techno’s like our folk music here in Berlin,” citing the similarities between the hand-me-down house mixes and the traditional songs passed between lifetimes. And after the wall came down in ‘89, it was electronic music, no longer just relegated as an underground movement, that brought the country together after nearly 45 years of separation.

It’s this political and social importance of the genre that commands respect, even for the most ardent of naysayers.

For van Dyk, his path to stardom came out from shadow of the wall, when he began mixing at parties and clubs at the start of the new decade. By 1994, he was among the superstars of Berlin’s techno scene, watching the music spread into Europe and eventually the rest of the world. Since then, his popularity has grown immensely, working with or remixing a famed and varied selection of artists. (He even remixed Hans Zimmer’s The Dark Knight score and saw one of his tracks featured in an episode of What’s New, Scooby Doo?) Earlier this year, besides making headlines over a mini-spat with Madonna—he claims she should have quit after Ray of Light—van Dyk released Evolution, featuring a collaboration with Adam Young of Owl City.

Although the impact and importance of van Dyk’s music may never rise to the same levels as the early ‘90s, it continues to make people happy, which is all one can ask for.

(Bryan Bierman) Wed., Nov. 21, 8:30pm. $35. With John G, BHB + Johnny V. SoundGarden Hall, 520 N. Delaware Ave. 570.977.3827. soundgardenhall.com

reeway oozes Philly. From his appearance alone—usually with a hat pulled down, dark glasses covering his eyes and that omnipresent beard—rap fans across the country immediately associate Freeway with Philadelphia in a way that the Roots, Cassidy or even Meek Mill can’t duplicate.

People from every corner associate the long beard with Philly in the same way that box haircuts were back in the ‘80s. In New York, it’s even referred to as a “Philly beard.”

While the city has produced many rappers on the national scene, Freeway’s the only one sporting that long facial hair. Aside from that, his unique vocal pitch showcases his Philly accent, making it unmistakable where this artist calls home. No other rapper sounds anything like him. His high-pitched voice is gritty at the same time, like a mid-range growl.

“When I rap, it’s just my passion that makes that sound come out,” says Freeway, whose speaking voice is a little deeper and a lot smoother than in his rhyming. “I really want people to feel what I’m saying, so it’s just the emotion that makes me sound like that on a record.” His one-of-a-kind cadence and style give him a sound that no one can duplicate.

“I always try to say a lot of stuff, so when I first got in the studio, people would tell me to just take some words out of my rhymes, but I wanna say what I wanna say. So, I found a way to squeeze the words in there when I need to and leave them out when I don’t. It’s just a gift from God that I am able to do that.”

After years of battling rappers around the city and in high school, Free met South Philly’s Beanie Sigel while they were both performing at a show. Later, when Sigel got signed to Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records, he told Jay about Free. Jay had him rhyme on “1-900-HUSTLER,” a single from Jay’s fifth album The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. After that, he signed him, and Free finally released his debut album, the goldselling Philadelphia Freeway, in 2003, which featured hits like “Flipside” and “What We Do.” After hooking up with Roc-A-Fella, Sigel and Freeway collaborated with fellow Philly rappers Peedi Peedi, Oschino Omillio Sparks, the Young Gunz (Young Chris and Neef Buck) and female R&B singer Casha to form State Property, which released two group albums.

Fast-forward to 2012, and Sigel is now serving his second jail term since Freeway’s debut, putting the future of State Property in doubt.

What a ride it’s been: Famed Philly rapper Freeway is prepping his fourth LP for release next week.

“That’s my brother,” Freeway says of Beans.

“We got a good relationship, and I’m sorry to see him have to go back to do time again, but we are definitely doing another State Property project as soon as he gets out. We might even start on it before that. What we really want to do is a Roc reunion tour.”

Meanwhile, Freeway’s fourth studio album, Diamond In The Ruff, drops next Tuesday. Still representing Philly, Diamond features guest appearances from several Philadelphia artists like Vivian Green, Musiq SoulChild and byway-of-London Marsha Ambrosius. This LP has a bit more mature sound than Free’s past efforts, but at 34 years old, that’s to be expected. “Greatness,” a cut with a raw drumbeat underneath a staccato keyboard, is softened up by Green’s honeyed vocals on the hook.

The song even starts off with a recording of Muhammad Ali saying, “I’m better now than I was when you saw that 22-year-old, undeveloped kid. I’m experienced now. Jaw’s been broke ... knocked down a couple times.”

When Freeway talks about this new LP, he sounds a lot like Ali. “I definitely see the growth in my album. As a man, I’m not in the same position that I was 10 years ago.

I’m a reality rapper, so I rap about things that I go through, things that I see,” he says over a breakfast of eggs and salmon cakes at a Northern Liberties restaurant around the cor-

ner from Studio 4, where he records much of his music. The morning’s echoing chatter is of President Obama’s re-election victory the night before, yet, despite his social awareness, Freeway didn’t vote. What?!

“Muslims aren’t necessarily supposed to vote because it’s haraam,” he says, referring to the Arabic term that means any deed that could be considered sinful by a Muslim.

“There are differences of opinion on whether [voting] is haraam or not,” he continues. “Some of the scholars say it’s haraam, and some say it’s OK. If anything might be haraam, it’s best to stay away from it.”

Philadelphia has one of the largest black American Muslim populations in the country. No matter what religion you are, if you live in Philly, at some point, you’ve come in contact with black Muslims, if nowhere else than downtown, when you see young men with long beards or pants cut short enough so they don’t touch the ground.

“Just like a lot of the youth in Philadelphia, I was heavily influenced by Islam, says Freeway. “When I was coming up, a lot of people were Muslim ... and as I got older and started to study religion and learn for myself, I realized that it was the religion for me.”

At some point, he also realized that rap was the profession for him. Luckily for us, hiphop’s not haraam. ■

ON THE GUEST LIST

Philadelphia Weekly’s The Survivors Project eBook Reading

Mon., Nov. 19, Central Library Overall vibe: Room 108 was standing-room-only, as PW Senior Editor Nina Hoffmann and her husband Joel told personal accounts of dealing with sexual abuse, read essays from last week’s cover story and invited allies from the Philadelphia Children’s Alliance and Women Organized Against Rape to talk.

Most memorable moment: The Survivors Project contributor Ari Benjamin Bank, featured both in last week’s issue and our ebook, was the only contributor to read his own personal essay on the library’s stage. There were few dry eyes when he completed reading to a standing ovation.

Scene stealer: During the Q&A session after the readings, several audience members outed themselves as current and future contributors. PW is still accepting submissions for a possible Volume 2. (Randy LoBasso)

Soundgarden

King Animal (Universal Republic) Sounds like: Born in ‘84 in Seattle, their sixth and first in 16 years is as tight as ever, with Chris Cornell’s trademark wail pulling their fuzzy grunge together nicely.

Free association: Rarely does this one ever wander into tired, commercial territory.

For fans of: Nirvana/Sabbath/Alice in Chains, QOTSA x STP, righteous rock reunions. (B.C.)

Free association: Everyone’s been paying so much respect to The Knife lately!

For fans of: Robyn/Nico x Camera Obscura, Phantogram Lite, chillwave x synth pop. (B.C.)

Crystal Castles

(III) (Casablanca) Sounds like: More seizure-enducing industrial goth dance music, with Alice Glass’ freaky scream and Ethan Kath’s pounding, insistent synths to bug you out.

For fans of: Kraftwerk x Ladytron, Liars/ Sleigh Bells + New Order, strobes, trendy misery. (B.C.)

>> Whisker Wars star Jack Passion

Whisker Wars

Fridays, 10 p.m., IFC Captive audience: People with serious facial-hair fetishes; men who wouldn’t be caught dead watching reality shows.

Moment of truth: The wild and woolly—in every sense of the word—reality show returns for a second season, as it once again follows a group of longhaired (mostly from the neck-down) American males who participate in the surprisingly ferocious world of competitive beard-growing. As these fanatics of facial hair hit the circuit in the hopes of going to the championships and defeating those pesky, undefeated Germans, you keep thinking this has got to be a mockumentary put-on. But no, these guys are for real, which makes this some honestly fascinating—and very manly—television.

Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (Craig D. Lindsey)

Guys With Kids

Wednesday, 8:30 p.m., NBC Captive audience: See the gotdamn title.

Moment of truth: Not as offensive but just as mediocre is this new sitcom, co-created by Jimmy Fallon (of course!), with Anthony Anderson, Jesse Bradford and Zach Cregger as a trio of buddies who are all coping with fatherhood. While this multi-camera sitcom brings nothing new to the table (dumb-ass daddies, the sitcom trope that never gets old), it’s mostly lightweight, harmless, usually tolerable stuff—much like Fallon himself. At least Tempestt Bledsoe, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Erinn Hayes are there as the resident hot moms.

Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)

Malibu Country

Fridays, 8:30 p.m., ABC Captive audience: People who miss ABC’s TGIF lineup—and just looooove redneck humor.

Moment of truth: Yes, kids: Reba McEntire (or “Reba,” as she’s called now) stars in yet another bad sitcom where she plays a single mom trying to make it in this world. This time around, she’s a former country singer, recently split from her two-timing, country-superstar husband, who moves to California with her two obnoxious kids and her seriously sassy mom (played by Lily Tomlin, the show’s only bright spot) in the hopes of getting back into the music biz. Seriously, this show makes me want to smoke crack.

Emmy or phleggmy: Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)

>> RISK!

RISK! True Tales Boldly Told

Friday, Nov. 16, Underground Arts at the Wolf Building. firstpersonarts.org Overall vibe: Appreciative. The audience was so transfixed as comedic icons/ hosts Kevin Allison and Janeane Garofalo shared the mic with the crème de le crème of Philly’s storyteller comics like R. Eric Thomas and Jamie Brunson that even the hippest of all hipsters among us wanted to scream the evening’s story’s theme—“THANK YOU!”—when we hit the 90-minute, end-of-show mark.

Most memorable moment: The depth of what Garofalo said didn’t hit home till I walked past a karaoke bar later, out of which hobbled a girl in red seveninch stilettos and leather pants a size too small, leaning heavily on the arm of her friend, who said, “You sang so good. You have to audition for American Idol.” Walking around them, I thought, Thank God, Janeane Garofalo exists in the world and goes on stage wearing boots and dropping words like “misogyny” and names like “Joan of Arc.” Scene stealer: Becca Trabin. Her brutal honesty about the day she stabbed her mother raised the temperature of the Wolf Building. (Jessica Foley)

pILLOW tHEORY + Alex Kelly + Brad Gunson & Gunson Roses

Thurs., Nov. 15, The Legendary Dobbs Overall vibe: Regular patrons who politely clap in between songs, you know, because it’s nice, but silently long to get back to normal bar stuff.

Most memorable moment: PT’s chemistry and pop sensibility jelled together deliciously as they backed Kelly on the title track of her debut album, Orange Circle.

Scene stealer: The sexy, shoeless Kelly, who swayed, strutted and elegantly wove a tapestry of irresistible vocal punch for anyone fortunate enough to be paying attention. I was. Marry me? (Anthony Trivelli)

STAY WARM WITH US!!!

I am a 22-year-old straight female. I used to babysit for a wealthy family, but their children have outgrown babysitters. The dad of this family is very into martial arts/fighting and has invited me over several times for “self-defense training.” I have accepted his invitations a few times, and it has always started off as a normal workout in their home gym—treadmill, weights, swimming laps—but he is always pretty anxious to get to the self-defense part. Often he will blindfold me and then come at me, and I must then wrestle my way out of the situation using the moves I’ve learned.

I did this a few times, Dan, but I found it a bit unsettling. However, he never touched me inappropriately. Last time we did this, he told me he wanted to see how much pain he could take. He asked me to kick him in the groin with no protection until he couldn’t take it anymore.

I thought, “This is strange,” but I was curious, so I did it. He was able to take it for a surprisingly long time. I haven’t been back since, but for the last six months, he has been pestering me to come back. Recently, he suggested that we have what he calls a “competition.” He will stand there, and I will kick him in the balls—or anywhere else I want—and if he gives up, I get $150. If I give up, by getting too tired, I give him $20. His wife knows about the workouts, but he said he doesn’t want me to tell her about the fighting.

My question is this: Is there a sexual component to this? I have never heard of anything like this before, and I find it odd. But I am a poor college student, and for $150, I’ll stand there fully clothed and kick this guy in the balls! Please let me know your thoughts.

Will Kick Balls For Money There are no nonsexual components to this, WKBFM, and if you’ve never heard of something like this before, well, you must be a new reader.

What we’ve got here is a rich guy attempting to manipulate his kids’ former babysitter into doing sex work for him—no, scratch that. What we’ve got here is a rich guy who has already manipulated his kids’ former babysitter into doing sex work for him, WKBFM, and that’s pretty fucking creepy. (Your previous workouts with the blindfolds and the wrestling and the kicking? Unpaid sex work.) Don’t get me wrong: I don’t think his ball-busting fetish is creepy. It’s extreme, as fetishes go, and there are definitely risks.

But the risks are his. Paying you to kick him in the nuts doesn’t put his wife at risk (swift-kick-to-sack is not a known mode of STI transmission), it won’t take food out of his children’s mouths, and, as he presumably has all the children he wants, ball-bustinginduced sterility might be a blessing/vasectomy in disguise.

If you need the money, WKBFM, and you don’t think you’ll be scarred by the experience, tell the rich guy you’ll consider doing this for him—you’ll come over, remain fully clothed, and kick him in the nuts—but only if he levels with you: He’s getting off on this. If he can’t level with you, WKBFM, don’t do this.

You don’t want this rich asshole to think he’s successfully manipulated you into doing sex work for him, because once the session is under way, you don’t want him thinking, “Well, if I could get her to do this, I can probably get her to [remove her clothes, watch me masturbate, have sex with me].”

If you go into a ball-busting session without both of you having acknowledged what you’re actually doing—you’re sorta selling sex, he’s definitely pay-

ing for sex—and he does try to get you to remove your clothes or watch him masturbate or have sex with him, WKBFM, you may find it difficult to say no.

Being direct with someone (“No, I’m not taking my clothes off, asshole!”) after you’ve accepted a dishonest premise (“Sure, rich guy, this isn’t about sex, you’re just testing yourself!”) requires you to admit that you were being dishonest, too. Most people are reluctant to admit to dishonesty, and a skilled manipulator will exploit that inhibition to get what he wants.

So tell him you’ll play—you’ll bust his balls—but you’re not going to play along. He has to admit that this is about sex and he has to agree to honor your conditions: Everything that happens is agreed to in advance, no special requests during a session, he remains fully clothed, you remain fully clothed, no recordings are made, and you get the $150—make that $250—whether or not he bails.

I am a 30-year-old straight man who has always known that he is a poly. The woman I love is not a poly. She is a monogamous person. When we started being sexual, it was a strictly friendswith-benefits arrangement, although a sexually exclusive one, at her insistence, and I agreed to that because neither of us expected anything long-term to come of it. But we fell in love, and now I can’t imagine life without her. She is amazing, and I love her like I’ve never loved any other woman. But she has asked me to betray my sexual identity by remaining sexually exclusive.

If I cannot commit to that, she does not want to be with me. I am not asking the same of her: She does not have to sleep with other people to keep me in her life. She is, however, insisting that I not sleep with other people to keep her in my life.

Can someone who is poly be happy with someone who isn’t?

Polyamorous Polymath You are not “a poly.”

Poly is not a sexual identity, PP, it’s not a sexual orientation. It’s not something you are, it’s something you do. There’s no such thing as a person who is “a poly,” just as there’s no such thing a person who is “a monogamous.” Polyamorous and monogamous are adjectives, not nouns. There are only people— gay, straight, bi—and some people are in monogamous relationships, some are in open relationships, some are in polyamorous relationships, some are in monogamish relationships, some are in four-stargeneral relationships. These are relationship models, PP, not sexual identities.

So the question isn’t “Can a poly be happy with a monogamous?” The question is can you, despite your clear preference for nonmonogamous relationship models, be happy in this relationship? Do you love your girlfriend so much that you’re willing to pay the price of admission that she’s demanding— you’re willing to behave monogamously (adverb!)— in order to be with her? Yes or no?

Since your girlfriend has already indicated that she’s not willing to have a nonmonogamous relationship with you (or anyone else), PP, the choice is yours to make. If you truly can’t live without her, if she’s the-one-you’re-going-to-round-the-fuck-upto-the-one, you’ll have to be monogamous. If that’s not something you’re willing or able to do—and “willing” and “able” are two different criteria, and you’ll need to make an honest self-assessment on both counts—then end this relationship and go find someone whose romantic desires more closely align with your own. n
