Don’t think they’re all happy and stuff, though.

“It’s our most heartbreaking

record,” Tegan reassures us. “It’s a great record for people who loved our past music. It’s just that they have to get past the sound.”

Seattle Gay News 27

by Miryam Gordon SGN A&E Writer THE UNDERSTUDY SEATTLE PUBLIC THEATER Through February 17 Seattle Public Theater has chosen another play by Theresa Rebeck. The company recently gave us Mauritius in a tightly directed production. Now, The Understudy, a three-hander with a terrific ensemble cast, has been directed with a sure hand by Kelly Kitchens. It’s a comedy with deeply relatable undertones: Aren’t we all understudying someone, or wanting to achieve more in our lives?

Mike Dooly plays Jake, a stereotypical film action hero who is dipping his toe into live theater on Broadway. John Ulman shows up as his understudy, Harry, and they are about to go through the one rehearsal the understudy ever gets, called a put-in, before the understudy goes on in place of his/her main actor. Helping with the put-in is the stage manager, Roxanne (Brenda Joyner).

The play is great fun, starting when Harry enters with a stage gun, pretending to be in a shoot-’em-up, rather than the deeply serious Kafka play they are presenting. Harry makes fun of Jake’s film dialogue, which Harry thinks is stupid and easy to say.

But it turns out that Jake is far more than a stereotype, and much more eager to demonstrate solid acting chops than to act the asshole Harry thinks him. And things get complicated when it turns out that Harry is the ex-fiancé of Roxanne and disappeared

Paul Bestock

theater and stage The Understudy deserves top billing without telling her why, years ago. Roxanne ended her acting career at that point, becoming a stage manager, presumably because it provided a more stable income.

FILM VS. STAGE Jake makes a lot of money in films, but he is still a B-level movie actor, superseded by his Broadway actor partner, the unseen Bruce, who is an A-level movie star and whose name drives the box-office attendance. Harry can act rings around Jake but is just an understudy, never having broken through in films, having no particular boxoffice appeal. Roxanne gets a chance to show the audience how great an actor she is, although she’s had to choose a different way to earn a living.

In some ways, the play sounds like an insider revelation of what movies and acting on Broadway are like. But Rebeck has more to say than that. Certainly she reflects reality of Hollywood movies and translation to Broadway theater box office. There is income disparity to consider. There are bits of a (possibly pretend) Kafka play inserted that provide moments of serious poetic contemplation. And toward the end, when it looks like all is for naught, she asserts that the “doing” is the most important of all. Do what you love, even if the rest doesn’t follow.

Technical aspects of the play are wellmanaged by Richard Schaefer (scenic and lighting design) and Dustin Morache (sound design). Fun is had with a booth operator who has her own issues. But it’s the trio of actors, each solidly connected to his or her

BEATING UP BACHMAN BASH THEATRE/ RADIAL THEATER PROJECT (at West of Lenin) Through February 16 In a second iteration of a different process to generate a play, David Gassner and his Radial Theater Project partnered with BASH Theatre (formerly known as The Community Theatre) and its five continuing members, added a few other actor friends, and improvised for a number of months.

Playwright Wayne Rawley watched, reflected, and generated a play based on themes and interactions that arose from the improvisation.

The play that was created, Beating Up Bachman, is now being presented at West of Lenin. It’s definitely both interesting and uneven, as a project derived from a non-linear process might tend to be. But there are intriguing plot points, some laugh-out-loud moments, and a mystery included.

Rawley is a really good writer, and some individual scenes are intensely well-written.

When he has a free hand to create characters, his dialogue crackles and is both idiosyncratic (interesting) and true-to-life. But this process might not have allowed him enough creative room. Writing with certain actors and their particular input and themes may have interfered with tightening the story, dispensing with an unnecessary char-

Beating Up Bachman is a real bash

acter, or changing something that just didn’t work very well. But the opportunity to try this approach seems likely to have interested him, just for the sake of seeing what would result.

Here is a dysfunctional family, the Truckers, with three daughters. They’ve grown up in a very small Eastern Washington town and their reputation is so strong that their motto, “Don’t Fuck with the Truck,” embodies their ascendance in the town’s social hierarchy. Each daughter has a crisis issue in her life, and their relationships with each other and the various extended family members are complicated.

DOMESTIC DRAMAS The youngest daughter has five children and a screw-up for a husband, and the males of the family are so fed up with him that they want to beat him up. But they can’t find him, so most of the play is spent revealing various family secrets. The characters chafe at small-town life, but in other ways enjoy the close proximity of family and the support that it gives each of them.

In particular, Lisa Every does a great job as the eldest daughter, Lisa, who holds the Trucker family together – everyone seems to want to sleep at her house! – while trying to cope with her own peril: her husband is being sued for taking clients from a former employer. All three men – Chris Macdonald as a low-key family friend in love with one sister, Cristopher Berns as Lisa’s ne’er-dowell brother-in-law, and Ryan Sanders as

Cristopher Berns in Beating Up Bachman

Lisa’s husband – do nice jobs in their quirky roles.

It’s definitely not cookie-cutter theater, so if you love something different, make tracks to see this production. Be aware that it does run a bit long, clocking in at close to three hours with an intermission. For more information, go to www.bashtheatre.org or www.

Margaret Cho

are the highlights of our conversation.

Albert Rodriguez: I presume your new show is based on your own mother?

Margaret Cho: Part of it. And it’s also about this day and age of motherhood and feeling like “Where do you sit on that continuum?” and being that age. It’s really reflective, like, “Is that gonna be my life?” I definitely think it can be about every mother in the world at this point.

Rodriguez: It’s also a look at mothers in Queer culture, right? Can you tell us a little about that?

Cho: Well, like the way we look at our own icons – people like Lady Gaga, who is definitely like a mother figure, even though she’s really young. We need that, we need somebody who will be our mother figure, in the same way that Madonna is.

All of those icons are important, Madonna for sure. Or, Amy Winehouse, even Whitney Houston – these flawed maternal figures, too, are really important.

Rodriguez: Are you going to the Grammy ceremony?

Cho: No, I unfortunately won’t be able to because I’m gonna be in Hawaii, which is great, the night before. And my Grammy category gets presented really early in the day, so I don’t think I can make it back in time.

Rodriguez: You like Hawaii – you play there regularly.

Cho: I do. I like the place.

It’s so Asian-American. I think any Asian-American person needs to go there because you really feel like you belong. It reminds me of San Francisco, too, in its ethnic kind of environment. So I love it.

Rodriguez: What do you there in Hawaii? Do you surf, go to the beach, lay in the sun?

Cho: I’m more into the food – I’m into eating and drinking. So, it’s more like Hulas and nightlife than it is necessarily about the beach or the sun.

Rodriguez: You sometimes like to roast celebrities and public figures in your live shows.

Are there any current celebrities you can’t wait to rip apart?

Cho: I had a good time with the election. To me, the whole Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan thing was really intense in how homophobic that whole campaign was, but then they were so Gay, too. They were like a really old-time Gay couple, like Palm Springs Gay or something. They looked so Gay to me, so that was a real fun thing for me to talk about. But I’m really grateful that things turned out the way they did.

Rodriguez: I’ve seen shirtless photos of Paul Ryan and he actually has a nice body.

Cho: He does. He’s totally such a twink.

It’s ironic that so much of what they were talking about and doing was homophobic because he was just so Gay to me.

Rodriguez: Is the “Mother” show you’re bringing to Tulalip a trial run, is it something that you might make some changes to and bring back at a later date?

Cho: I will definitely come back. This is like the beginning of this tour and then I’ll come back and do something in a club in Seattle. But I definitely wanted to play some other places around Washington, especially right now with Gay marriage legal there and marijuana – not even medical marijuana, recreational pot – is legal there, so I’m super excited to

go. [laughs] Rodriguez: In one of your Chelsea Lately appearances, you mentioned that you’d stopped smoking pot. Maybe you can start again since it’s legal here now.

Cho: I know, I have to try it out. [laughs] To me, it’s incredible that people are getting together and voting on that. And also Gay marriage is legal there now. Those are two things that are really, really exciting to me about Washington.

Rodriguez: How long is your show, and is it interactive?

amazing. His perfection is kind of hard to beat. He’s such a perfect twink. I love him.

Rodriguez: He’s also a big supporter of the Gay community.

Cho: Yeah, he told me that he’s come to see me before, so maybe he’ll be in the audience. He’s just really adorable.

Rodriguez: Is there common friendship between you and other female comedians, like Kathy Griffin and Lisa Lampanelli?

Cho: Kathy is my old friend and a great comedian and somebody I’ve known for a long, long time. I think there’s great cama-

I definitely wanted to play some other places around Washington, especially right now with Gay marriage legal there and marijuana – not even medical marijuana, recreational pot – is legal there, so I’m super excited to go.

Cho: Yeah, I think it’s pretty interactive.

I generally do about 90 minutes, depending on what’s happening or where I’m at.

It’s probably the most improvisation and that sort of becomes a very exciting thing, because now it’s very interchangeable – it changes every day, so I love that.

Rodriguez: Do you have any celebrity crushes?

Cho: I think Anne Hathaway is so cute.

It’s so beautiful to see her do different types of things. I think she’s awesome. Oh, and I like that guy from The Hobbit, Martin Freeman, I think. He was in The Office. Those are two good crushes.

Rodriguez: What about the twinks, like Zac Efron or the Biebs?

Cho: Oh, my God, Zac Efron! He is so adorable. I did a movie with him, he’s really

raderie, at least in women comics, because there’s not a lot of us, so we need each other to sort of check in and survive. I’m such a fan of so many of the women in comedy and Kathy is certainly a true, true, true friend.

Rodriguez: Does your Gaydar go off on Daniel Tosh?

Cho: I’ve never met him, so I can’t say for sure. But if I meet him I’ll let you know. It’s hard to tell.

Rodriguez: Why should people go see “Mother”? Why shouldn’t they miss it?

Cho: Oh, I think it’s new and really exciting for me. You get to a point when you’re doing comedy where you get really good at it and I think I’ve gotten to this good place in my work where it’s like, “This is what people should see.” I think it’s pretty fantastic.

Come meet Tim and Matt and join the family.

The Peacock Goddess

Amaluna’s Amy McClendon offers glimpse into new Cirque show

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer AMALUNA Cirque du Soleil MARYMOOR PARK, REDMOND Through March 24 Women – they run the world. Indeed, in Cirque du Soleil’s brand new production Amaluna, it’s the ladies who dominate the foreground and background – the cast is two-thirds female. One of the show’s principal performers is Amy McClendon, who stars as the Peacock Goddess. A professionally trained dancer who has also appeared on Broadway, she offered Seattle Gay News a sneak peek into Amaluna, which began its local run on January 31. For tickets, go to www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/amaluna. Here is what McClendon was able to reveal to us just before opening night.

Albert Rodriguez: What about Amaluna sets it apart from other Cirque du Soleil performances?

Amy McClendon: Amaluna is unique because its cast is 70 percent women. It’s a show about an island ruled by Goddesses and in many ways exhibits the beauty, strength, delicacy, and power that women possess.

Rodriguez: What is your role in the production, and how does your character pertain to the overall story or theme?

McClendon: I play the role of the Peacock Goddess, and for me, my character represents the love, mystery, and beauty women possess. As the Peacock Goddess, like many of the other Goddesses, our jobs are to protect Miranda. And the way that I show my protection is by teaching Romeo how to care for a woman, what it means to love, and that it’s important to have faith and fight for your love, especially when times are tough. After I teach him his lesson and see that he understands how to love her, I then take him to Miranda. However, every great teacher gives a test to make sure

the student has learned their lesson. So, I return as a Black Peacock and snatch Miranda away to see if Romeo will actually go after her. Does he love her enough to risk everything? Because essentially, that’s what love is about.

Rodriguez: Without giving too much away, what you can tell us about the costumes, the music, and the set design?

McClendon: Right when you get into the Big Top, the audience is immediately transported to another world. The set really makes people feel like they are part of our island and in the world of Amaluna! In regards to the costumes, one of the main inspirations for the show was Shakespeare’s The Tempest and that is really represented in the costumes. They have a very Shakespearean and Elizabethan feel to them, but at the same time are colorful, vibrant, and flashy. One thing that really sets Amaluna apart is the music. For the first time ever in Cirque’s history, we have a band composed of all women. Their sound has a real rock techno edge to it, which is very different from what people have heard from Cirque before. These ladies can really rock the Big Top. Rodriguez: How long have you worked professionally as a performer, and where did you start?

McClendon: About seven or eight years.

I had professional dancing jobs while in college, like apprenticing for the Francesca Harper Project and performing at the Holland Dance Festival. I also had other memorable opportunities, like performing with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for their 50th anniversary season. However, after college is when I was able to work more consistently, of course, and ventured into the musical theater world. I performed in The Wiz and Hairspray, and was a featured dancer in City Center’s production of Lost in the Stars.

Rodriguez: Will you have time to explore Seattle during the Amaluna run?

Amy McClendon performs a captivating “Peacock Dance” in Cirque Du Soleil’s Amaluna

McClendon: I most definitely will make time. I plan to take dance classes in Seattle a few times a week (I have to stay up on my technique). I also look forward to teaching Horton dance master classes in Seattle as well. And of course, I will get some shopping and sightseeing in on my double-dark off-days!

Rodriguez: Is there any part of the show that’s your absolute favorite?

McClendon: Yes. I personally enjoy audience interactions and there are two distinct moments where I actually get to interact with the audience in a more intimate way than performing on the stage. As the Black Peacock, I travel through the audience and sneak up behind them to add a little thrill to their experience! Everyone reacts differently and it’s the most interesting thing to see. Some are shocked and a bit frightened, and others are in awe and amazed, but regardless of the two reactions everyone eventually lights up with the brightest smiles.

I also enjoy the bows. It’s the one moment where we approach the audience and can

see just how much they enjoyed the show.

We can look them right in the eyes, less as characters and more as real people. It’s the moment when I remember why I am doing what I am doing and why each performance has to be even better than the last.

Rodriguez: How does someone become a Cirque du Soleil performer? Do they audition?

McClendon: It varies. I know some who submitted videos and were selected, some were contacted via a recommendation or YouTube video searches, and some, like me, who auditioned. A performer can always go to the Cirque du Soleil website, find their discipline, and submit their information according to the guidelines.

Rodriguez: Will you continue with the Amaluna show throughout its North American tour?

McClendon: It’s definitely something I’m thinking about. The 2014 tour plan has some really great cities listed, so it’s definitely a consideration!

Shelter officials told the pair that most people who donate clothing stick to pants, jackets, and shirts. The clothing item that they saw the most need for – underwear – wasn’t easy to come by.

At that moment, Elam and Boila said, they realized that underwear is something we all take for granted. Clean underwear is one of life’s basic necessities. So they took immediate action, making a donation of underwear to the shelter – and have been donating new pairs of JUSTUS underwear to homeless shelters across the country ever since.

Elam and Boila, longtime friends, started the JUSTUS Clothing Co. in 2002 as a progressive-minded clothing supplier for men and women. The JUSTUS online store (www.justusclothing.com) features hip briefs in camouflage and solid colors, trunk briefs, standard boxer briefs, and athletic jocks along with T-shirts, hats, wristbands, belt buckles, and more.

SHIRLEY VALENTINE ARTSWEST PLAYHOUSE Through February 16 The play currently at ArtsWest, Shirley Valentine, stars the talented and capable Heather Hawkins in a solo performance of substance. However, while Hawkins is a charming and easy-to-watch actor and manages the role with relative ease, the production has some missteps – likely attributable to choices director Christopher Zinovitch makes – that detract from the overall effect.

Also, the content of the play is no longer challenging, nor does it really ask us to consider anything new, so it doesn’t fit ArtsWest’s stated mission (productions “so fiercely compelling that they require conversation”) very well. It is a story of a British woman who believes she no longer has anything exciting left to live for, now that her kids are grown and she and her husband have settled into such an expected path of life that she gets yelled at for not including meat with the eggs-and-chips that her husband is expecting upon arrival after work.

Michael Brunk

This ‘Valentine’ could be sweeter

We don’t see the husband chide her, of course, but she tells us about it, and about all the other limiting factors in her life that make her feel like she can’t even consider using the free ticket to Greece that a friend has just handed her. Even without having seen the movie, we know that she will go to Greece anyway, and it will change her life and allow her to break free of her limiting beliefs.

OBSTACLES TO ENJOYMENT Hawkins starts out by introducing herself and her life at such speed that there is no thoughtfulness about it, making it difficult to like her or to enjoy jokes that are swallowed by more words. The audience must also cope with her character’s Liverpool accent, which takes some getting used to.

The speed seems dictated by director Zinovitch, especially since later, as Hawkins settles into the character more, her natural thoughtfulness comes to the fore and the performance is rather more assured.

Shirley talks to the “wall” in her kitchen.

But while doing so, Hawkins seems directed to look at the audience, and toss occasional glances at either of the side walls of

flat, also designed by Zinovitch (with Jill Beasley), is nicely done, but is pushed way up against the front of ArtsWest’s large stage space, within a foot of the front row.

For those seated in that row, it’s claustrophobia-inducing.

Another awkward aspect is the music inserted by Peter Fleming, who is credited as “composer/sound design.”

The sound design is fine, with storm and other effects as called for. But the music appears all of a sudden, with no apparent need or connection to what is said, and disappears as suddenly and as disconnectedly.

These all seem directorial choices that overcome the production rather than serve it. Hawkins ultimately triumphs, as her character evolves through the play into a more assured woman who believes in herself and what she deserves.

film and Television A zombie reborn Warmly invigorating Bodies is full of life

by Sara Michelle Fetters SGN A&E Writer

rial, I didn’t quite know what to expect. The idea alone sounded rather silly, a Romeroesque homage to the world of zombies but with an angst-riddled Twilight age twist involving the most unlikely of romances, and even though I’d avoided watching the trailer, just the thought of sitting through such a thing couldn’t help but make me wince.

Yet somehow, someway, Levine doesn’t just pull off the concept but makes it heartfelt, honest, and emotionally pure, achieving an elegant balance between the supernaturally silly and realistically grounded that I greedily admired.

It starts with the depiction of R. As portrayed by Hoult, forced to develop his character with a series of grunts, growls, and oddly stuttered one-word statements, this little zombie ends up being someone worthy of affection. His voiceovers give the movie a stream-of-consciousness state of being that early on is suitably hypnotic, and by the time his growing humanity begins to make itself evident (even to the other zombies stalking the airport), I was so charmed by him I think I’d maybe have followed R just about anywhere. Hoult does a grand job of making this transformation click, the livedin nature of his performance giving the film an authenticity that’s wondrous.

Palmer is also good, but it should be noted that her character has far less to do and spends more time reacting to everything going on than she does being a proactive influence on events. Not until the final 20 minutes does she really get going, and by that time things unfortunately are getting slightly more conventional and obvious, making her ultimate transformation not nearly as weighty or as emotionally nuanced as I kept hoping it would be.

WARM BODIES Opens February 1 In a lost corner of a world overrun by the zombie apocalypse, R (Nicholas Hoult) is far from content. Being undead is, well, boring – all that shuffling around; the mumbled, nonsensical conversations he has with other seemingly mindless walkers like M (Rob Corddry); the inability to sleep or dream – all of it is starting to get old. Even the eating of human flesh, especially their brains, isn’t what it used to be, R longing for something he can’t quite put his finger on, only knowing there had to be a better sort of existence than this one.

Enter Julie (Teresa Palmer). She’s a human survivor whom R and his pack of zombies happen to stumble upon one lazy afternoon. But instead of devouring her, instead of letting his fellow undead snack on her brains, he decides to take her home to the dilapidated airport and the out-of-the-way commercial airliner in which he attempts to live. Soon, little by little, bit by bit, R becomes increasingly protective of the young woman, and while Julie is admittedly initially terrified by her ghoulish benefactor, soon she starts to wonder what is fueling his change and just how far this decidedly human transformation is going to progress.

Based on the bestselling book by Isaac Marion, Warm Bodies is director Jonathan Levine’s follow-up to his outstanding comedic drama about battling cancer, 50/50, and to call it a change of pace would be something of a misnomer. While a zom-rom-com seems a little outside the wheelhouse for the guy who made The Wackness, in reality Levine has an amazing feel for the material and an ability to develop character that fits KEEPING IT REAL in perfectly with the thematic elements of All the same, Levine does a great job the movies he’s made before this one. maintaining a slightly off-kilter, almost tongue-in-cheek tone that suits the material.

TWILIGHT WITH ZOMBIES? In some ways it’s the same approach he took Being unfamiliar with the source mate- with both 50/50 and The Wackness, but here

Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer in Warm Bodies

by doing so he achieves a level of intimacy that’s kind of shocking. The use of music, the way cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe’s (Fright Night) images paint the perfect surrealistic silhouette, how Nancy Richardson’s (The Vow) edits have a seamless quality that, at least early on, has an uncanny ability to mirror R’s inner dialogues – Levine orchestrates with a dexterous confidence I found thrilling.

I do wish the climactic siege played out

better than it does, that the emergence of Julie’s militaristic father (played by John Malkovich exactly as you’d think he’d play him) could have gone in a direction I wouldn’t have been able to anticipate easily. Yet when the focus stays on our two heroes, when their story remains front and center, Warm Bodies achieves a heartfelt ebullience that’s inspiring – and for a movie about the undead, watching this made me feel as alive as anything I’ve seen in ages.

Emerald City book lovers have a wide range of choices, of course – but several Seattle-written, or Seattle-based, books deserve a close look.

SHALL WE PLAY THAT ONE TOGETHER? THE LIFE AND ART OF JAZZ PIANO LEGEND MARIAN McPARTLAND PAUL DE BARROS (St. Martin’s Press; 496 pp) Paul de Barros, jazz critic for The Seattle Times, Downbeat, and many other publications, hits another home run with his second major book release. His first, Jackson Street After Hours, remains the only serious look at Seattle’s early days as a major jazz city. His latest, Shall We Play That One Together?, is a detailed, fascinating bio of Marian McPartland, from her humble start as a local piano player in her native England, to her high-profile marriage to jazz great Jimmy McPartland, to her life as his widow, to her stardom as the witty host of NPR’s Piano Jazz program in her mid-90s.

It’s a warts-and-all story that simply cannot be put down. This writer started the book en route to the airport on public transportation,

continued from cover Benaroya Hall’s Nordstrom Recital Hall on February 5 (go to www.seattlesymphony.org/benaroya for ticket information). I spoke with Vega by phone this week and here’s what she shared with me inside “The Music Lounge.”

Albert Rodriguez: For your Seattle performance, will it be an acoustic set or are you playing with a full band?

Suzanne Vega: It’s myself and Gerry Leonard on guitar, which is like playing with a full band. He’s not just a guitar player, but we get a lot of sound out of what he does. So it’s stripped down, but it’s still kind of fully produced.

Rodriguez: From tour to tour, do you change the arrangements on the songs so that they sound different?

Vega: It depends. Our tours have been sort of constant and yet we don’t hit the same markets. I can’t tell you the last time I came through Seattle – I’d have to go back and look at my itineraries. We like to keep it fresh for ourselves, so we change it up from time to time.

Rodriguez: Does the mood or vibe of a city – Seattle is gray, rainy in the winter – ever impact your performances?

Vega: It does, in that the audiences change from city to city and venue to venue.

So usually audiences in the bigger cities, people like the edgier material, so we might play a little more of that.

Rodriguez: You co-wrote a play with Duncan Sheik and I’m wondering if that will be revived and taken on the road at some point?

Vega: I’ve been rewriting the whole play

larly, for the Northwest Asian Weekly. His review of the very impressive book simply cannot be better, or so thinks this proud father. Google it and decide for yourself. (Disclosure: Busher is a personal friend of this writer.)

JOHSEL NAMKUNG: A RETROSPECTIVE RICHARD BUSHER (ed.)

(Cosgrove Editions; 144 pp) This is the “must have” book of the year – perhaps the decade – for serious art and/or photography lovers of all income brackets.

Johsel Namkung: A Retrospective has various price levels. The size of a coffee table, this oversized book starts at nearly $200, jumps to about $500, and tops out

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY E.L. JAMES (Vintage; 528 pp) Fifty Shades of Grey, by British author E.L. James, written as a joke (a send-up of the Hunger Games phenomenon), took off as a serious exploration of the BDSM scene in Seattle, a city the author has never visited. This Lesbian writer specializing in feminist issues read it and loved it as a spoof. Think Naked Came the Stranger or Candy or any of a dozen other clever parodies masquerading as literature.

As a serious work, SGN rates the trilogy a 2 out of 20.

As a merry-prankster “thejoke-is-on-you” spoof, it ranks 12 out of 10 – a total success, a laugh riot from start to finat nearly $1,500 for a special edition in a ish. And, it’s set in Seattle!

from beginning to end and I’m very close to finishing it. We’ve got a few more songs to write until I feel like we’re done. We’re going to probably do a reading or some kind of run somewhere on the West Coast – it might be in L.A., it might be in San Francisco. It’s still in the workshop stage, but I’m hoping that it will be finished in the next two years.

For me, it’s been a labor of love and I’m very excited to see how this new version of it stands up.

probably more than she does – she listens to Punch Brothers and other random stuff – but I listen to whatever I can. It’s so much more segmented than it ever has been. In the ’70s when I listened to music, we had a cool FM station and they would play everything from Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground to Motown to Electric Light Orchestra, or Joe Cocker. It had a wide variety of styles.

Now, everything is so targeted. Because I’m a woman in my mid-fifties and I’m white

read it at the airport waiting for a holiday flight to San Francisco, read it on the plane, read it on the Airporter, and finished it at 2 a.m. in the hotel room. Yes, dear reader, it is that kind of book.

De Barros is a wonderful writer, an incredible journalist, and an honored colleague. It was a pleasure from start to finish to read and review this monumental work.

Another of those SGN and Hamlin high rankings: 14 out of a possible 10. Buy it for yourself and learn, laugh, revisit your youth, and, most of all, enjoy the first biography of the living legend that is McPartland. There will probably never be another book that so completely captures the spirit of a jazz musician. An added bonus for feminist readers is her incredibly honest depiction of a very troubled marriage to a very troubled man, and her unstoppable determination to make that marriage work – on her terms. And it did.

“I’ve always really loved Seattle. I love the fact that it’s cold and rainy. I love the weather ... and I think it’s got a real cool, arty thing going on which I enjoy.”

Rodriguez: On your latest album, it’s the final three tracks [“Brother Mine,” “Silver Lady,” “Daddy Is White”] that had been unrecorded up until now?

Vega: Yeah, that’s right. There’s a live version, I think, of “Silver Lady,” and there was a demo version of “Daddy Is White,” which came out like five years ago. But other than that, they had been unrecorded.

Rodriguez: Will these new songs get some action on this tour?

Vega: No, actually. [laughs] Surprisingly.

If we get a request we might find a place for them. We’ve been promoting the [Close-Up] series as a whole, but I haven’t really been promoting each album as they come out.

Rodriguez: Do you like today’s pop music? Do you listen to any of it?

Vega: I listen to whatever I can pick up on the radio. My daughter and I share an iCloud, so whatever she buys comes pouring down into my iTunes account, so I listen to what she’s listening to. I like Top 40 radio

doesn’t mean I want to listen to other white women in their fifties. I’m just as likely to want to hear somebody who’s Black and 17, like Frank Ocean or Bruno Mars. I don’t really like the way things are marketed today.

Rodriguez: You’re a Grammy winner and previous nominee. Have you looked at the list of nominees this year, and is there anyone you’re hoping will win?

Vega: I haven’t looked at it yet, and I should. I should definitely do that.

Rodriguez: Well, you mentioned Frank Ocean. He’s a nominee and someone who made an impact last year.

Vega: Yeah, he really did and I thought that was great. I think he’s open-minded and he’s got sensitive, very cool lyrics and really good production. So yeah, I’m rooting for him.

Rodriguez: I love when artists allow the listener to interpret the songs on their own.

I have no idea if “Small Blue Thing” is supposed to be sad, but I still cry inside when

I hear it. The entire first album [Suzanne Vega] has a melancholy feel throughout.

Vega: I agree with you. I think a lot of the songs are melancholy. Some of the songs I cry when I write them, I cry when they come to me. And those are the songs I feel compelled to write. But that’s why I talk in between the songs because I don’t want everyone to leave in a shell-shocked, melancholy state.

Rodriguez: For anyone just getting started in music, do you think it’s still important that they learn to play an instrument or write their own songs?

Vega: I think it helps. The kids who only play the guitar and go out sometimes and play in coffeehouses and stuff like that, I tell them to also do their social media thing.

Get a Facebook page, collect people who like your material. For kids who only have a Facebook page, or MySpace, or only do electronic music and upload everything, I tell them to get out on a stage and play for real people. Each thing helps the other. Ultimately, it’s still about getting some kind of audience. When I was younger and someone came up to me and said, “I like your material,” I would take down their name and their address and send them a flyer. So I grew a whole audience that way. Facebook and social media are just that, only it’s using technology. But it still comes down to how many people like you, how many are in your audience.

Rodriguez: It’s been great talking with you again. Did you have anything else you wanted to say?

Vega: Just that I’ve always really loved Seattle. I love the fact that it’s cold and rainy. I love the weather, I relate to it there and I think it’s got a real cool, arty thing going on which I enjoy, so I’m looking forward to it.

Come meet Tim and Matt and join the family.

of those things. It gets even more complex when you are a public person and now you represent both people. You feel sometimes there’s a burden there, and sometimes you feel proud and other times you feel like everybody is mad at you because you’re not saying the things they would say. It’s complicated.

Azzopardi: Is it a double-edged sword to talk about being Lesbians, because you care about the Gay rights movement but you also just want to be musicians?

Tegan: I won’t deny that there have times in the last 12 years that I wish we never said we were Gay. It overshadows the music, for sure. But honestly, and without coming off cheesy, every single day right now it feels like I run into someone who tells me a story Tegan: My first kiss was with a boy.

one in the video for “Closer”?

Sara: We were re-imagining our teen years when we were putting this video together. In middle school and high school, we loved house parties. Our house parties then would’ve been an R-rated version of this. We were fairly disgusting and doing things that I would be embarrassed to have on camera. I’m like an old woman now. A house party for me now means having more than two people over, and me going to the store to get wine. [laughs] Tegan: Our house parties have gotten quite a bit less interesting than they were when we were younger. I still think we can throw down a pretty mean shindig, but we don’t generally do karaoke. And I’ve never had a costume party.

Azzopardi: “Closer” could really be the theme song to somebody’s first kiss. What songs remind you of your first?

Sara: There’s something about Björk, because this girl I had a crush on loved [Post], and if I hear it now I’m completely transported back to high school. I never could have told her that I felt something for her, that I had a crush, so whenever I hear any songs off of Post I immediately go there.

Tegan: I remember discovering Ani DiFranco and really embracing the side of me that liked girls. I was also really into Ace of Base and I would sit in my parents’ huge Jacuzzi tub in their bathroom and fill up the tub after school and sit in it and talk on the phone and listen to that Ace of Base record over and over again. It’s so weird that I was naked the whole time. [laughs] Azzopardi: Was your first kiss with a boy?

bum come before this one? Are you just at a point in your career where you don’t really care what people think?

Sara: We’ve been around now for 13 years, and you almost do stop caring what people think. If anything, you try to stop caring because you think to yourself, “We made some of our best music when we didn’t have an audience. We didn’t think anybody cared about us. So maybe it’s best to go back to when you’re trying to excite yourself and the band, and ultimately people will gravitate toward that.”

Tegan: I think we were self-conscious.

We didn’t think we could just jump right in, and I’m so glad we didn’t. I think we would’ve alienated our audience – and I also think we would’ve just alienated ourselves from our genre, as well. We were so indie rock that if, all of sudden, we made a pop record, they would’ve been like, “What the fuck?” This gradual evolution has been necessary. I don’t think we would’ve existed if we had tried to do it differently.

Azzopardi: Did you worry about the hipsters who can’t really appreciate anything beyond angsty indie rock?

Tegan: No. It’s not necessarily hipsters, but there is a certain type of person who is really interested in what’s cool and being hip, but they don’t actually buy records. So when we sat down to make this record with Greg Kurstin, we talked about our fears.

He said, “Don’t worry about your fans. You wrote great songs. Who cares if you put a bunch of keyboards on it? That is what you’re listening to; it’s what you’re inspired by. Embrace that part of yourself and don’t worry.”

Heartthrob is that record where I just want people who love that record. We’ll take anybody. I don’t really care. If people from the dance world like it, great. If peo-

tity. The world at large is projecting an image of hetero-normativity all the time, and you’re thinking, “I’m not like that. I don’t behave like that.”

Tegan: Being a twin, because we didn’t come out until we were almost out of high school. I didn’t feel weird about being Gay, because we had Gay friends and we had a really alternative group of friends and my mom was a social worker. Being a twin and just always being grouped together – always having to share the same stories, the same friends, everything – it was so hard. That was way harder.

Azzopardi: If you’re having a disagreement in the studio, who wins that battle?

Tegan: It depends on who wrote the song.

If it’s Sara’s song and she disagrees with me, she ultimately has veto power – which is annoying, because a lot of times I’m right. [laughs] Sara: We’re fairly democratic in the studio. We’ve never really had a huge blowout over a decision about a song in the studio.

We’ve had blowouts about a lot of things, but it’s not usually like, “Hey, I think this guitar should be like this.”

Azzopardi: What’s your biggest pet peeve about each other?

Sara: She’s incredibly stubborn, and there’s this impulsive go-for-it attitude – and sometimes that drives me crazy when it seems like it’s going against me. But when it’s in terms of bringing us to the next level, I love that confidence and bold-headed stubbornness. That’s when I think, “Yes, go for it” – as long as it’s not directed at me! [laughs] Tegan: It would take me 24 hours to tell you all my pet peeves. We’ve been doing a lot of vocal work – lots of warming up and warming down – but she doesn’t warm up and warm down in her space or on her time; she does it right in the middle of the dressing room while we’re trying to talk before we go on stage. It makes me wanna tackle her.

Azzopardi: Have you tackled her?

Tegan: When we were young. I haven’t physically attacked her in probably, like, 15 years. [laughs] Chris Azzopardi is the editor of Q Syndicate, the international LGBT wire service.
