City Arts Fest brings big names to Seattle venues

by Jessica Price SGN Contributing Writer

City Arts Fest October 20-23 The first annual City Arts Festival (aka the Heineken City Arts Fest) launched this year, with 21 venues hosting more than 50 events over four days. Though the festival was not immune to logistical problems, the organizers at up-and-coming monthly City Arts set the bar high with their inaugural talent pool. Musical headliners included Belle & Sebastian, Gogol Bordello, Cat Power, She & Him, Big Boi, and Blue Scholars, while a variety of small venues hosted events ranging from Transgendered spiritualist singer Our Lady J (West Hall) to conversations on musical theatre’s future (The Sorrento). In addition to single tickets, $60 wristbands guaranteed no cover at any event, plus a reserved seat at any one mainstage show. The fine print was the kicker for many: Popular headliners like Belle & Sebastian quickly reached venue see City arts page 34

by Eric Andrews-Katz SGN Contributing Writer Pablo Picasso is arguably one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His life – like his artwork – is filled with changes of style and appearance, and all of it is reflected in his life achievements. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso didn’t stay with one art form, but branched out from paintings to drawings, sculpture, printmaking, and ceramics. Picasso’s art work can be (at its simplest) divided into five sectors: the blue period, the rose period, the African period, his Cubist period, and his more surresee picasso page 35

October was an insane month for live music in Seattle – one of the busiest in the time I’ve been covering shows for the SGN. And though November isn’t as spectacular, there are some shows definitely worth getting tickets for.

Here are five of them to think about.

Seattle Gay News 29

Inside Job Opening October 29 Charles Ferguson’s (No End in Sight) latest documentary Inside Job is arguably the single most infuriating film I’ve seen all year.

Just a few days before a local Seattle press screening of Inside Job, I went to a latenight preview of Jackass 3D. There was a scene towards the end where I almost had to leave the theatre – not because I hated the movie or hadn’t enjoyed some of what I’d seen, but because it was making me physically sick. I literally thought I was going to vomit, and for the life of me I’m not entirely sure how I made it through until the pyrotechnic finale.

Pretty much all of Inside Job gave me that same feeling. An examination of the economic collapse and the multitude of things that darn near brought us, and the entire world, to ruination, this movie made me so freakishly upset and angry I was sick to my stomach. Large portions of it had me twisting and turning in my seat to such a degree I’m sure it would have been distracting had someone been sitting behind me. A lot of what Ferguson documents is so damning, it’s difficult to describe.

Split into five parts (“How We Got Here,” “The Bubble,” “The Crisis,” “Accountability,” and “Where We Are Now”), Ferguson systematically shows how Wall Street took over the economy of the United States and

Inside Job an infuriating indictment

thusly grabbed unforeseen massive political power. Going from Reagan, to Bush, to Clinton, a second Bush, and finally to Obama, the movie doesn’t take prisoners and holds just about everyone accountable, pointing fingers at both political parties for allowing this overthrow to take place.

The movie is one-sided, and there are times Ferguson’s confrontational interviews can seem a bit too Michael Moore-like, but the facts here are unavoidable, and the conclusions the filmmaker is able to draw are supported on so many fronts, it’s hard to disagree with any of them. Every “i” is dotted and every “t” is crossed, and while information overload is a possibility, the director presents things with such simple matter-of-factness that I didn’t feel overloaded with information.

Does a movie like this one change minds or influence opinions? Not for those already entrenched in their own personal ideological mindsets. But for those few still open to debate and discussion, there is so much food for thought here it’s easy to see how an impact could be made. Problem is, it’s equally hard not to think that the only ones who are going to watch this are those who already agree with its thesis – preaching to the converted isn’t going to change a thing, and neither is the fact that the same people Charles Ferguson that helped engineer and design this mess are the very same ones charged with trying are still absent. A movie like Inside Job is the battle is being fought by those already to dig us out of it.

While Wall Street reform has passed, the a call to action much in the same way that bought and paid for by the bad guys, it’s hard needed teeth required to make it effective Waiting for “Superman” was, but when to imagine success is possible.

by Sara Michelle Fetters SGN Contributing Writer Paranormal Activity 2 Now Playing One of the last movies I ever would have expected to be decent – let alone borderline awesome – is Paranormal Activity 2. Rushed into production after the 2009 original became a surprise smash and stuck with a concept that seemed like it should have played itself out the first time, this is a sequel that seems like it would have every-

thing working against it. Sequels to surprise hit horror films generally don’t work, and as hopeful as I was this one would, I can’t say I anticipated it doing so. Thankfully, this wonderfully unsettling and scary thriller did just that.

Another tale of a haunting gone terribly wrong, this is a picture that gets it right.

Like Oren Peli’s (who returns to produce, co-write the script but not direct) smash from last year, this one knows that it is what you don’t see that scares you – that strange and sinister sounds can be more unsettling

than a masked killer wielding an axe. It understands that misdirection can be the cheapest trick of them all, and that playing against convention (a mirror will always draw attention while a cracked door catches the eye) is the quickest way to unhinge an audience, leading them to scream as if it were their own lives at stake when the unexpected occurs.

It should be stated upfront that Katie and Micah are indeed back, but this isn’t their story (although they are a very integral part of it, and the first film fills in many of the climactic moment’s blanks), but instead Katie’s wealthy sister’s. She’s just had a baby, Hunter, and her husband and daughter-inlaw couldn’t be happier.

But something inside the house isn’t nearly as exuberant. It topples chairs, messes with the machine cleaning their pool, has fun torturing the dog, and otherwise does some very strange things that slowly but surely make everyone uncomfortable. Most of all, it has its eye on Hunter, looking at him as if he were some sort of prize.

So instead of a single camera, this time we get surveillance footage from inside the house along with an HD video recorder that everyone in the family is apparently obsessed with playing with. Additionally, there is a bit of a been-there-done-that quality that can eat away at the tension at times, as the sequel is not quite as stratospherically terrifying as the original, no matter how hard new director Tod Williams and his 30 Seattle Gay News

much larger cast of nondescript actors try.

Yet that doesn’t mean Paranormal Activity 2 doesn’t score – quite the opposite, in fact. This movie had me and the rest of the late-night preview audience right at the edge of our seats, with our screams filling the theatre time and time again – especially during the suitably frenetic and breathlessly unsettling lead-up to the climax. The level of restraint is phenomenal, the tension ratcheting up in spades as we got nearer and nearer the end.

Like the first one, this is a movie that must be seen with a large audience. The level of participation involved is palpable, watching it a communal event where the frights and shocks build as the audience feeds off one another’s fear. Even though I always sort of knew where it was going, that didn’t make me any less under the sequel’s spell, and by the time it was over all I could do was sit in the theater until the credits ended trying to catch my breath.

Let’s leave things there. For those who adored the original, Paranormal Activity 2 is as wonderful a second chapter in this growing demonic mythology as anyone could have hoped for. It’s a haunted house thriller that gets it right, relying upon the unseen to titillate, the aural to unsettle, and the unexpected to outright scare. It had me wrapped around its finger almost from the start, and the only thing I want to do now is grab a handful of friends and head right back to the multiplex to see it again.

Celebrating 37 Years!

by Miryam Gordon SGN A&E Writer The Lieutenant of Inishmore ACT Theatre Through November 14 ACT Theatre gets bloody for the Halloween season with The Lieutenant of Inishmore, a black (and red) comedy by Martin McDonagh. This is for the Scream lovers, the Quentin Tarantino lovers, and the Halloween participators, though ACT was trying to carefully measure appropriate amounts of blood and may have ended up being too careful for some. (No audience member need be concerned about contact, though.)

The whole thing starts with a dead black cat and goes downhill from there. Padraic’s father Donny (Sean G. Griffin) and simpleton neighbor Davey (MJ Sieber) stand looking at Padraic’s (Jeffrey Frace) dead cat, Wee Thomas, who has been run over on the road. They are terrified of Padraic finding out and thinking that they were to blame, and then killing them. The opening moments are some of the funnier starting moments you’re likely to see, with great comic timing between Griffin and Sieber over what to tell Padraic and how, and setting up the rest of the plot.

Padraic has such a hair-trigger that the Irish Republican Army has apparently rejected him as too bloody-minded. He has become part of a splinter group, the Irish

National Liberation Army, but they also have decided he’s just too bloody for them and have set out to kill him. When he rushes home to find out how Wee Thomas is, he finds Davey’s little sister Mairead (Elise Hunt) is all grown up and has a huge crush on him. Mairead is ready for all his bloody bombing business and anything else he wants to do, but she draws the line at killing “clean cats.” She tells how she has prepared herself for battle by shooting the eyes out from cows. It has something to do with disrupting the beef industry, because no one wants to eat a blind cow, right?

Everyone is completely inured to violence in this play. By the end, there are bodies and parts randomly strewn around the set.

McDonagh is poking fun at human behavior that condones violence to humans while caring about (select) animals, and justifying violence as in the name of “freedom” while everyone is in fear of his life.

The set includes a wonderful movable cottage and craggy rock face by Tom Lynch that set the scene for this rural outpost admirably. Lights by Mary Louise Geiger and sound by Brendan Patrick Hogan also contribute to the complete atmosphere. There’s an odd moment where the entire front of the set rises up and nothing seems to happen, but you realize that it was necessary when the cottage is revealed again, and all that bloodiness has been created. Since the play has no intermission, it’s a creative way to make that happen. The dialects are excel-

A fun example of how Blue Ball World Tour Money Changes Everything packs the Cuff

Money Changes Everything Annex Theatre Through November 20 Doesn’t everyone wonder what would happen if they won the lottery or something similarly outrageous and they had all the money they wanted? Rachel Atkins and Daniel Morris found a true-crime story about the second-largest cash heist in U.S. history to be particularly compelling and created the new play now at Annex Theatre, Money Changes Everything. The Loomis Fargo bank robbery of 1997 involved the theft of $17.3 million dollars. Though the real culprits’ names are not used, the real facts of the case – including verbatim interviews these people did on radio – are included in the script.

The theft didn’t take that much planning or high-tech equipment – just the opportunity to have enough time to load piles and piles of money into a truck and drive it away.

The FBI found the truck the next day with over $3 million dollars in smaller bills that the thieves didn’t have time to unload!

The ringleader spent thousands on himself all while telling others to lay low for a couple of years. His wife started depositing small amounts of money into the bank, but at one point triggered a suspicious activity report by asking, “How much can I deposit before you have to report it to the feds?” followed by “Don’t worry; it’s not drug money.” It’s jaw-droppingly true, and really, really funny.

Atkins wrote the play and Morris directed. Typical of new work at Annex, it’s on the overly long side, but the heart of a fun play is certainly there. Three top performances by Lisa Branham, Laurence Hughes, and Brandon Ryan keep the fun going. Branham plays Lou Spinks, the trailer park femme fatale who loves her high school crush Mitch DeWitt, played

by Hughes. Much is made of DeWitt’s name – as in “the wit” of the group – while we can all see how dumb he is. Both of them make Ryan’s Kevin Laney the fall guy who gets to steal the money but lets them control it once he gives it to them. Ryan is a unique and odd performer who throws himself into roles with such gusto that he practically twitches.

While director Morris has his hands full, he probably should have helped Ryan pull back some from pushing the character too far over the top. Still, Ryan is great fun to watch as he longs for a better life and figures out what he had was way better than what he ends up with.

A versatile, sleek set of side panels by Peter Frost creates a lot of options for moving scenic locations quickly. Supporting cast include Curtis Eastwood and Jesse Lee Keeter as FBI agents and Brandon Felker, Bob Williams, Gina Marie Russell, and Devin Rodger as relatives and assorted other characters. Russell, as Candy DeWitt, is particularly funny in her role. For more information, go to www.annextheatre.org or www.brownpapertickets.com or call 800838-3006.

On October 23, patrons with one thing in mind packed the Cuff (1533 13th Ave.) for the Blue Ball World Tour, a traveling party featuring Gay porn stars Reese Rideout, Landon Conrad, and Chris Rockway. The Blue Ball World Tour is a marketing device used to promote BoiJoy, a new natural male enhancement pill designed specifically for the Gay community.

DJ Peter Savas of Bearacuda and the Folsom St. Fair spun the party and Nova Starr (Miss Gay International Pluss 2009) of Salt Lake City Utah lent her talents as host and emcee.

“We chose the Cuff because it’s regarded as one of the biggest Gay hotspots in the nation,” said John Griffin of the Blue Ball

World Tour.

According to Griffin, the tour is traveling to 12 U.S. destinations – all Gay hotspots – including Dallas, TX, New York, NY, and Las Vegas, NV. The tour began on September 26 at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. It will also travel to Vancouver, B.C., and London.

Presented by BoiJoy; randyblue.com, a porn website; Falcon Video, a porn production company; and FindFred.com, a Gay networking site, the Blue Ball World Tour is one hell of a party.

“Each tour date is molded to each venue’s particular crowd, with thousands of free giveaways from BoiJoy and the tours other sponsors through the night,” said Griffin.

Not only a male enhancement line, BoiJoy also has its own line of underwear. For more information on BoiJoy or the Blue Ball World Tour, check out: www.goboijoy.com.

Meklit Hadero and Toshi Reagon Meklit Hadero and her band opened for Toshi Reagon at the Triple Door on October 19. She has a nice, clear voice. Her bass player, Evan Flory Barnes, earned applause, and Mercy agreed. Ahamfule Olua’s clarinet and trumpet rocked out.

High points were “Soleil Soleil,” “Float and Fall,” and “Walk Up.” They are from her new album On A Day Like This.

Toshi Reagon is out as a Lesbian and attracted a large mostly Lesbian crowd. She acknowledged that her bass player and backup singer Gale Dorsey and jazz drummer Alison Miller are

superstars. They earned yelps from the audience. Toshi has a big voice and fun originals.

She opened with upbeat “Happy and Satisfied.” “Didn’t I Tell You” continued in that vein. The waltz “Sweetest Moments Are Yet to Come” changed pace. “I Stand on the Mountaintop” picked up again. “I Get So Lonesome I Could Die” was down and dirty blues. Toshi said sometimes when you are sad, it helps to have someone sing a song that expresses that. “Trouble” demonstrated Reagon’s idea that another way to deal with grief is to outrun it.

“You’re Not the Only One” was also upbeat. “Any Way I Dare” slowed down.

“There and Back Again” was another bluesy number. “I Go Higher” had a gospel tone, and Toshi had us sing along. She finished with a cover of Ferron’s “The Eagle Takes the Wind.”

Manhattan Transfer Mercy and Cuteness enjoyed Manhattan Transfer at Jazz Alley on October 24. Band members include Tim Hauser (vocals), Janis Siegel (vocals), Alan Paul (vocals), Cheryl Bentyne (vocals), Yaron Gerzhovsky (musical director/piano), Adam Hawley (guitar), Gary Wicks (bass), and Steve Hass (drums).

The group has played together for 40 years and is tight. The singers’ close harmonies delight. Adam Hawley’s guitar was delicious. Yaron Gerzhovky’s keyboards were exquisite.

The band was touring in support of their new CD, The Chick Corea Songbook.

“Spain” and “500 Miles Home” were pleasing additions to their repertory. Also satisfying were “Corner Pocket,” “Grooving,” and “Boy from New York City.” Of

course the group closed with their most famous song, “Birdland.”

Elena Undone Mercy and Cuteness found Elena Undone at the Seattle Gay and Lesbian Film Festival well-made, well-acted, and featuring hot sex scenes. The story involves a Lesbian (Traci Dinwiddie) getting involved with a straight woman (Necar Zadegan), who is married to a homophobic minister (Gary Weeks). One strength is that the pastor is not drawn too stereotypically. Connor Kramme is also strong as the son. Cuteness liked the fact that while the son disagrees with his father’s values, he still has difficulty with his parents breaking up.

Correction for Rainbow Contra Organizers of Rainbow Contra Dance point out that the turnout for their first dance was 130 – higher than Mercy’s estimate.

They were also very happy that you can catch the dance on Youtube, so you can see what it was like.

Coming Up Mercy and Cuteness are looking forward to seeing Average White Band at Jazz Alley November 11 to 14. Band members include Onnie McIntyre (guitar, vocals), Alan Gorrie (bass, keys, vocals), Fred Vigdor (saxophones), Klyde Jones (guitar, vocals), and Rocky Bryant (drums).

The Average White Band, widely regarded as one of the best soul and funk bands in the history of music, returns to Jazz Alley for four funk-filled nights. For the better part of the last 30 years, the Average White Band has performed sold-out shows around the world, confirming the timeless appeal of their infectiously danceable funky soul.

Formed in 1972, their roots may have been Scottish, but the collective heart of the band belonged to the soulful sounds coming out of Memphis, Detroit, and Philadelphia of the 1960s.

You can get your tickets at jazzalley. com.

Mercy and Cuteness are also looking forward to seeing Martha Graham Dance Company at UW Word Series November 4 through 6. You can get your tickets at uwworldseries.org.

But what made them extraordinary was their expressive musicianship, their Reviewer Rod Parke can be reached at perfectly blended timbres, and the perfect rmp62@columbia.edu. choices in their use of straight tone alternating with lovely vibrati. From the very beginning, Pergolesi used the juxtaposition of two tones close together for expressive effect, which will work only if the singers use no vibrato whatsoever. The soloist did this to perfection. They also used lovely baroque trills. (Mr. Howell is a member of the San Francisco, mostly Gay Chanticleer.)

The SBO accompanied with sympathy and just balances.

Again, Schenkman moved from harpsichord to organ (at which he stood while playing).

Even in such a sad piece, lively movements alternated with dolorous slower tempi. Twelve short movements in all, the “Stabat Mater” came alive with a beauty such as I never expect to hear again. Schenkman made a dignified announcement that the performance was dedicated to those grieving the recent suicides of young people bullied for being Gay.

Seattle Baroque Orchestra October 23 Town Hall Once upon a time, when I lived in NYC, I stopped taking the Sunday Times because it pained me to see all the many wonderful musical events I would be missing for lack of money or time. There was simply too much going on! I finally left N.Y. for P-town on Cape Cod, in part because I found the Big Apple to be a case of constant over-stimulation, both good and bad. I mention this because Seattle’s cultural scene is beginning to feel similar. For instance, last weekend’s experience with the Seattle Baroque Orchestra makes me agonize that I don’t have the time to see this fabulous organization more often.

It would be hard to imagine a more delightful concert than Saturday’s. But apparently the Seattle Baroque Orchestra is a relatively undiscovered treasure, for Town Hall was scarcely half-full. So let me first describe the SBO. On this occasion there were six baroque violins, two baroque violas, two baroque celli, a theorbo, a harpsichord, and a small positive organ. Led by music director Ingrid Matthews and artistic director Byron Schenkman, this absolutely first-rate group played with joyful animation and buoyant spirit, with most members standing. Their sound was both articulate and smooth. Their music flowed in an almost liquid undulation,

bright like a mylar ribbon in a breeze, yet warm like a down comforter. Balances were perfect, except that one could have wished for more sound from the small harpsichord.

Seldom did more than a couple measures pass without a smile appearing on Ingrid Matthews’ face, part of an obviously easy communication among the players. Their seamless ensemble was clearly the result of ample rehearsal.

The first half was entirely instrumental.

The works played, mostly from the early 18th century, were a Sinfonia by Alessandro Scarlatti, concerti by Charles Avison (after Domenico Scarlatti) and Francesco Durante, and a cello concerto by Nicola Porpora. Nathan Whittaker, a member of the SBO and of Plaine & Easie (appearing in an Early Music Guild concert on November 6th) was the soloist for the Porpora. Whittaker is a young, curly-headed blonde with a baby face and a beatific smile somewhere between Itzhak Perlman and Lang Lang. His playing was a joy, clearly for him as much as for us. Byron Schenkman alternated between harpsichord and organ during the four movements. My partner Dale remarked that the difference was strange; with the harpsichord the cello sounded thin and cool, but with the organ the cello sound became warm and rich.

As if the first half weren’t rewarding enough, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s glorious “Stabat Mater” filled the second half with sounds of such perfection that I could hardly believe my ears. Soprano Yulia Van Doren and male alto Ian Howell could not have been a better pair for this music. Both

upcoming Earshot performers, Reagon said, “Natasha Atlas, she’s hot. I’d like to leave some vibes for her.”

Cuteness liked the fact that Toshi talked about the fact that she felt rich in a non-material way. She was impressed with Reagon’s encouraging everyone to vote. Toshi raised the question: Where are our voices? We shouldn’t just give up because Obama hasn’t fixed everything in two years.

Artwork depicting a Colonial Vipe

by Scott Rice SGN Contributing Writer Philosophical tomes, academic essays, webisodes, inter-season movies, spin-offs, and oodles of merchandise from T-shirts to full-on replica costumes: Battlestar Galactica has spawned it all. While I have thus far resisted the urge to throw down $249.95 for an authentic Colonial Warrior Blaster sidearm with holster, recharge packs, and belt set, I’m still a rabid BG fan.

Something about the re-imagined threehour space opera miniseries that aired in December of 2003 struck a nerve. I believe there are two reasons why: The miniseries is well-written, and it was timely.

The story, written by producer Ronald D. Moore, is near perfection. Left in the wake of a pervasive attack on the human race are a wizened warrior and his equally antiquated battlestar, the education secretary who finds to her surprise that she is the highest ranking government official left, and a self indulgent rockstar scientist whose lapse while being seduced by a villainous but gorgeous blonde robot is the cause of all the mayhem.

The human remnant, defended by a ragtag cadre of inexperienced space jockeys, is left wandering homeless in search of the fabled 13th colony called Earth while the evil cy-

lons give chase. The characters are in way over their heads, and the enemy looks a lot like humans.

The miniseries came while we were still collectively processing the 9/11 attacks and being whipped into a fear frenzy by an endless succession of orange alerts – alerts that seemed to dwindle to naught just after the 2004 election. Seeing the near destruction of the human race resonated with a nation looking forward with uncertainty and trepidation. No wonder so many of us watched.

We can argue for days about the significance of Bob Dylan’s “All Along The Watchtower” and whether the final episode of the series was a letdown, or not. We are left to head-scratch over the question: Is God in the machine? The only thing I can say with certainty is that Michael Trucco, Katee Sackhoff, and Tahmoh Penikett are hot, and the re-imagined miniseries and its subsequent television series are awesome.

Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition World Premier kicked off with a gala featuring celebrity guests. The exhibit features three stunning, full-size prop spaceships, iconic costumes, new exhibition films, music, and other props from the original and re-imagined series.

Led by the beautifully chiseled Pharrel Williams, the duo – Chad Hugo is the other half – will perform songs from their newest recording Nothing (November 2 release) at the Queen Anne store (20 Mercer Street) at 4 p.m., hours before they open for Gorillaz at Key Arena. A CD signing will follow, and you’ll probably have to purchase your copy at Easy Street to stand in line for an autograph. Get there early; I predict the place will be at capacity.

The punk-minded outfit, a Grammy nominee for Best New Artist a few years back, returns to Seattle for a headlining slot on KISS 106.1’s Jingle Bell Bash. The December 4 holiday gala also lists 30H!3, Mayday Parade, All-Time Low, and The Maine, whose lead singer John O’Callaghan recently interviewed with me here in The Music Lounge.

So much for a diverse lineup, though, as the bands this year all come from the alternative rock field – was Nicki Minaj not available, or did KISS FM go light punk? Tickets for Jingle Bell Bash go on sale October 30 at all Ticketmaster outlets, but – and it’s a big but – the first 500 seats for the show will be sold for $10, although you must purchase them in-person with cash only at Qwest Field’s Northwest Box Office on October 30.

w e e k o f O c t o b e r 29 - N o v e m b e r 4

ARIES (March 20 – April 19): You may be too sexy to be resisted, but will you use that power for good or for evil? Sublimate that energy into your work and you could open doors that lead through tremendous challenges to great success.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): A mad new infatuation is probably just that, but the stars just might line up for something more solid. Whether you believe in love at first sight, make sure to take a good, critical second look.

GEMINI (May 21– June 20): Dedication to hard work will pay off in the long run, but that will take time. Obsessing on goals now will only burn you out. Pace yourself and remember to take time out to refresh both body and soul.

CANCER (June 21– July 22): It’s a great time for a hot new love affair, but what would your partner say? If you can’t talk your baby into doing something new and different, let your honey make suggestions. At the very least, take them as a creative challenge.

LEO (July 23 – August 22): Look into your family’s medical history. The stars suggest clarity, not danger. This is not a time to worry, but careful investigation now can help you make better choices to head off trouble later.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Being charming, witty and playful can come off as more flirtatious, even more lascivious than you intend. In some places, that can get you in trouble, so think before speaking! Elsewhere it will get you into all the trouble you want. Have at it!

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Take a good, hard look at household finances. The uglier the mess seems to be, the likelier you will find yourself in better shape than you thought. There are probably some hard truths there, but you can’t feather your nest making like an ostrich.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): You are a lot hotter than you realize. “Working it” will just come off as excessive. Relax, be yourself. Applying yourself intellectually is sexy. Speaking up politically will help you win the day and score into the night.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Differentiating between sexual liberation and sexual exploitation can be tough. Take time out to consider your own values and aesthetics.

You’re not shy about being unique, but sometimes being true to yourself takes reflection and effort.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Why do you have such beautiful and charming friends? Consider that you fit in well with that crowd. Give yourself credit and use that self-assurance to challenge yourself to accomplishing something more solid.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Focus on inner strengths and counter-productive quirks that affect your career.

Welcome criticism, supportive or not, as keys to improvement.

What you learn from self-examination can prove powerfully helpful.

PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Be willing to be wrong.

Accept challenges to any of your ideas as an opportunity to dig further into your ideals, to reassess long-held beliefs and bring them into balance with reality.

capacity and left general wristband holders confused and irritated outside – though to be fair, City Arts was clear about the terms, and anyone who has ever waited in a first come, first serve wristband line at Bumbershoot can tell you that’s how it’s done.

Wristbands pay for themselves over single tickets if you’re planning on several nights of festival-going – which I was. Here’s what I saw at City Arts: Trashcan Sinatras October 20 Benaroya Hall Though the Scottish band’s debut album Cake was released in 1990, Trashcan Sinatras continuously crank out lighthearted, pretty pop melodies and tour internationally. Over the past year, they’ve played sets chosen by fans at well-publicized house parties (Portland) as well as smaller clubs before landing at Benaroya Hall opening for Belle & Sebastian on the festival’s first night. Admittedly, I haven’t kept up with the Sinatras much over the years, but Benaroya’s phenomenal acoustics couldn’t spark up the slightly monotonous, squeaky-clean set. Career-makers from Cake (“Obscurity Knocks,” “You Made Me Feel”) were conspicuously absent, and I found myself watching the clock for Belle & Sebastian to take over.

gathered at the majestic Fifth Avenue Theatre to give her and trusted sidemen The Dirty Delta Blues Band a shot, Cat Power delivered. The audience hung in reverential silence as Marshall got her bearings, pacing a little as if looking for the most comfortably inconspicuous place to stand on the stage. “Satisfaction” was a sigh of relief – she sounded like a woman being coaxed from her shell, but she sounded amazing.

“Good Woman” followed, as well as “Song to Bobby” and a string of Jukebox covers (“Woman Left Lonely,” “Lost Someone,” “Lord Help the Poor & Needy,” “Silver Stallions”). As she won over the audience’s confidence, some felt compelled to call out inappropriate commentary (“Fix the drums!”

“Turn down the reverb!”), only succeeding in annoying everyone that collectively held their breath, hoping the litany of rude advice wouldn’t scare off the warmed-up chanteuse. It didn’t. The band, while completely at ease, took their cues from Marshall’s every whim in an apparent display of familiarity with the singer’s shifting moods.

Marshall’s velvety, sadness-soaked voice elevated a relatively low-key set to memorable levels. The tension in the air fused with the fragile, beautiful songs Cat Power presented; final number “I Don’t Blame You” ending in a film-worthy standing ovation.

Chan Marshall appeared relieved, grinning and bowing as she tossed white flowers and balled-up set lists into the crowd.

She & Him October 23 Fifth Avenue Theatre The final evening of City Arts featured mainstage headliner She & Him, a cottoncandy pop duo made up of Zooey Deschanel (vocals, keys) and M. Ward (guitar, production, vocals). The sunny actress-turned-singer possesses a lovely, vintage country-tinged voice, and M. Ward has released several acclaimed solo albums. Together, they’ve made a few irresistibly buoyant records.

Though somewhat charmed by in-the-flesh renditions of “Thieves,” “Lingering Still,” and the peppy “In The Sun,” I couldn’t help but feel the set felt a little flat after the emotionally charged, throaty performance from Cat Power on the same stage two nights before. Fathers taking their elementary schoolaged daughters out for a night of alt-country indie folk were pleasant and sweet – much like She & Him – yet Deschanel’s slightly shrill voice couldn’t quite engage the Fifth Avenue, or my attention span.

Belle & Sebastian October 20 Benaroya Hall Stylish and unassuming, Stuart Murdoch and his 12-member touring supergroup Belle & Sebastian were greeted with clamorous applause (and perhaps a little swooning) at Benaroya Hall. Breaking out a string ensemble, horns, and understated lighting, Murdoch glanced around at the wide stage and nodded in approval. “It’s good to be back in Seattle. … Fancy place, as well,” he joked. “But we’ll bring it down to our level.”

The band skipped through a lively set of fan favorites, including opener “Expectations,” “Write About Love,” and “If You’re Feeling Sinister.” Though mostly seated, a few fearless dancers stood up in solidarity until finally Murdoch invited 20-odd fans to join him onstage for “The Boy With The Arab Strap” – at which point the audience stayed on its feet, dancing through “I’m a Cuckoo” and “Me and the Major.” I’ve never seen Belle & Sebastian live before, but they made me a believer. A richly talented band whose singer is handsome, witty, possesses cha- continued from the cover risma for miles, and a cute accent – what’s not to love? scope broke her in, though actually, her tepidly received follow-up Drastic FantasCat Power tic did little to keep her success afloat. She October 21 rebounds well, however, with her newest reFifth Avenue Theatre lease, Tiger Suit, which finds the sexy young Cat Power’s Chan Marshall is a famously artist experimenting with darker melodies neurotic lady – onstage, at least. You never and light electronic backgrounds. You can know if the unpredictable singer will be attend that big Gorillaz show at Seattle Cenovercome with nerves or fixated on some ter on November 2, or try out this Mercury instrumental detail that only she can see Music Prize-nominated performer for half and abandon the stage. Fortunately for those the price on the same night. For tickets, visit www.showboxonline.com.

Where it’s at

The Cave Singers w/The Moondoggies November 5 The Showbox Market I shouldn’t have to tell you that The Cave Singers and The Moondoggies are two of the coolest musical exports to come from Seattle in recent years. Signed to Matador Records, the former act has attracted more global attention for its stellar neo-folk recordings, Invitation Songs and Welcome Joy (SGN’s Top Ten Albums/CDs, 2009), while

the latter ensemble – who interviewed with Seattle Gay News this summer – is slowly catching national buzz. Together on the same stage, same night, and same venue, this concert has “miss it and you’ll be very sorry” written all over it. For tickets, visit www.showboxonline.com.

Usher November 10 Key Arena R&B giant Usher opens his 2010-11 world tour at Seattle’s Key Arena in November, a five-month trek that’ll snake its way around the United States and then onto Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The Atlanta native drew comparisons to Michael Jackson early in his career, which has now produced several #1 singles and five Grammy Awards, and it’s easy to see why – he has slick dance moves, catchy songs, electrifying onstage energy, and he’s a philanthropist at heart. He’s sure to perform “U Remind Me,” “Burn,” “Nice and Slow,” “Love in This Club,” and the monstrous hit “Yeah!” re-popularized in the blockbuster flick The Hangover. Newcomer Trey Songz opens the show. For tickets, visit www.ticketmaster. com.

Brandon Flowers November 14 The Showbox SoDo At what point Brandon Flowers traded his pretty boy image for a manlier look (hello, full ‘stache) I don’t know – circa Sam’s Town, perhaps. But resting on his (otherwise) cute laurels he is not. Instead, he’s released a solo album called Flamingo and launched a tour through Europe and North America. Oscar-winner Charlize Theron comes to his aid in the “Cross Fire” music video, though he’s on his own to attract a thousand people to The Showbox SoDo to hear him do non-Killers songs – can he do it? For tickets (should you be so curious), visit www.showboxonline.com.

Robyn November 21 Neumos The fact that Robyn’s upcoming show at Neumos is sold-out isn’t a surprise – the stunning part is that tickets were gone two months in advance. The Swedish diva, once a forgettable pop act, has broadened her chops with her venture into electronica, earning high fives from her colleagues, a Grammy nod for 2008’s self-titled effort, and the respect of Madonna, who she opened for on the Sticky & Sweet tour. Expect Robyn to pluck tunes from Body Talk pt. 1 and 2, and if we’re lucky she’ll perform the mix version of “With Every Heartbeat.”

As for tickets, um ... there are none.

picasso

continued from the cover alistic works. Each one is separately unique from the others as his style changed, often reflecting his personal life or the political structures around him. At the new exhibit hosted by the Seattle Art Museum, every aspect of his work is represented in one of the greatest collections of Picasso’s work ever allowed on tour.

Picasso entered the blue period (19011904) early in his career, shortly after he arrived in Paris at the turn of the century.

Consisting mainly of various shades of blue and blue-green, these paintings usually consist of the early portraits, mostly of mothers and children, and are somberly rendered.

A prime example greets the patrons of the SAM exhibit at the beginning of the collection. “La Celestina” is cast in realms of blues and greens, playing on the light and giving off a grave appearance. The fact that Picasso painted this woman, believed to be of average- to lower-class and with her left eye in cataract, only adds to this impressive capture of the subject.

The rose period (1904-1906) blossomed in a more upbeat tone. Here the artist uses what appears to be both happier colors and subject matter. A favorite subject of Picasso’s was that of the harlequin, and often the artist painted his portrait in costume. On an almost plain background, a youthful boy sits dressed in brightly checkered patterned

clothes. His face isn’t that of a smile, but the details all radiate light from around him, making the subject appear like a porcelain doll.

The African period was at the height of a new interest sweeping over Paris. African artifacts were being brought back from the continent along with overly exaggerated exotic tales of deep jungles. Picasso was shown an African mask by contemporary and good friend Henri Matisse, and the artist’s new interest (1907-1909) came to light.

Representing this period of work are several statues and sculptures that Picasso created.

Ranging from human to animal figures, they show a completely different aspect of the artist.

The cubist period (1909-1912) is perhaps the era from which Picasso’s work can be most easily recognized. Larger than life figures with definitive artistic planes and blocking were created during this time frame. “The Kiss” shows two largely blocked figures embracing in the simplest of affection. The more recognizable style of wandering facial features is definitely more evident.

It is in his later Classicism and Surrealistic movements that his style is blatantly that of what people recognize as “Picasso.” His interest in harlequins becomes transformed into other forms, and here his work becomes influenced by the artists Goya, Poussin, Manet, and Courbet. The famous portraits of Dora Maar (and there are several), presented in bright colors and contrasting with the surrealism of her face, is one of the best known from this time. The self-portrait of “The Matador” is another example of the definitive blocking used by Picasso. Using blatant phallic symbols and sexual innuendo, with a main character of definitive age appeared shocking at the time. Now it seems jovial and we the viewer understand the misshapen “wink” that this later work (c. 1970) seems to exude.

Pablo Picasso (birth name of Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso) was born into an affluent family in Spain, the son of a renowned artist and allegedly minor aristocrats. It was his father who took the ingénue under his wing and began his formal training while Pablo was still in his early teens.

At 19, Pablo finished his studies in Madrid and made his way to the (then) European art capital, Paris. Under the patronage of Gertrude Stein, he was introduced to such great artists as Henri Matisse, Jean Cocteau, and Salvador Dali (a strained relationship would form between the two).

Picasso’s private life was just as tumultuous. He fathered four children born to three separate women – some within the bounds of matrimony, but not exclusively. Joining the French Communist Party in 1944 in retaliation to the German occupation, he remained a loyal member of the Communist party, stating in 1945, “I am a Communist and my painting is Communist painting. …

But if I were a shoemaker, I would not necessarily hammer my shoes in a special way to show my politics.” Dali’s response was, “Picasso is a Spaniard, so am I; Picasso is a communist, neither am I.” At the time of his death on April 8, 1973, many of his works remained in private possession; the artist only sold what he needed to sell. His legacy was left grander than he could have imagined, having produced over 1,800 paintings, 1,200 sculptures, 2,800 ceramics, and over 12,000 drawings, not to mention prints, tapestries and rugs. His paintings are considered among the most expensive paintings in the world, with three different paintings selling at Sotheby’s in 2004, 2006, and 2010 for $104 million (“Garcon á la Pipe”), $95.2 million (“Dora Maar au Chat”), and $106.5 million (“Nude, Green Leaves and Bust”), respectively.

Two museums were set up in his honor – The Musée Paris and the Museo Picasso Málaga in Spain – but several museums host many of his works. He left no will, so in exchange for paying the estate taxes, many works went to the city of Paris, helping to form the Musée Picasso. It is from the Musée in Paris that over 150 paintings, sculptures, drawing, prints, and photographs will be on loan to the Seattle Art Museum. Many of these have never been previously loaned out.

iOUT-CALL2u!

I really do need my old clients back. Approaching 16 years licensed here in Seattle, I continue to do excellent massage. I want you to experience me and my massage again if I used to see you in years past. You could use an excellent massage pronto. I am able to work with health insurance, so PLEASE find out your co-pay and coverage limits (if any) for massage therapy and give me a call, again if necessary. I am open to creating a sliding scale if you have no health insurance and must pay cash. I believe in my massageand try to make it accessible to all. THANK YOU. Jesse H. James, LMP. MA7881.
