little mozart circus a highlight this weekend

Chamber Music Charleston is hosting its annual Mozartin the South Festival. The four-day event includes theLittle Mozart Circus on Saturday in Marion Square.


as someone who likesto spend most of hisfree time outside —

usually running, biking andwalking my dogs — i see alot of litter on our roadwaysand beaches.

Besides cigarette butts,which are as ubiquitous aspalmetto bugs and mosqui-toes this time of year, themost common litter i wit-ness includes plastic grocerybags, plastic bottles (espe-cially in water), foam cups,plastic lids and straws, beercans and liquor bottles. onthe beach, i’m also amazedat the amount of plastic chil-dren’s toys left behind.

despite stories about mas-sive patches of trash, namelyplastic, collecting andfloating in our oceans justbeneath the surface and theeffect that trash has on wild-life, including fish that mostof us eat, the efforts to curband clean up litter haven’tkept up with the problem.

But there are efforts.among the most effective,

widespread effort takes placesaturday with the oceanconservancy’s internationalcoastal cleanup and, inthe palmetto state, the 24thannual Beach sweep/riversweep, coordinated by thes.c. sea grant consortiumand s.c. department ofnatural resources.

Last year, more than 3,000volunteers removed 20 tonsof debris at 200 locationsthroughout the state. in itsprior 23 years, the sweep hascollected 1,100 tons of litter,some of which was recycled.

and while a one-day clean-up barely makes a dent ina 365-day-a-year problem,the point of the sweeps is as

much about teaching youths(and adults) about respect-ing our beautiful shores androadways as it is pickingup trash. The cleanup alsoinvolves collecting data ontrash for potential use in gov-ernment policy decisions.

The official time frame forthe sweep is 9 a.m.-noon, butbecause Mother nature’s tidesdon’t always fit human sched-ules, those who want to headout in boats and watercraft,such as kayaks and paddle-boards, can plan accordingly.

But please be counted. tosign up to be a team captainfor a site or to join an existingteam, go to www.scseagrant.org or contact susan ferrishill at 953-2092 or [email protected] those inland, go to www.dnr.sc.gov/bsrs or contactBill Marshall at 803-734-9096or [email protected].

and remember, you don’thave to limit your effortsto picking up litter for theBeach sweep/river sweep.Like i said, it’s an every dayproblem.

we know who andwhat robert Milleris the moment

richard gere brings thecharacter into the frame inthe new thriller “arbitrage.”he’s a player, a businesstitan, a guy for whom therules of the normal worlddon’t apply.

he has his own high-endhedge fund firm, his promi-nent place within new yorksociety, a socially prominentwife (susan sarandon) anda daughter (Brit Marling)who will inherit the businesssomeday.

he’s also living the limolife on the back of shadybookkeeping, and keepingan art dilettante as a mis-tress. Because he can.

tom wolfe famously la-beled them “Masters of theuniverse,” the wall streetgamblers whose sense of in-vincibility, entitlement andgeneral recklessness broughtthe world’s economy toruin a few years back. Butgere’s Miller becomes morethan a “type” the momenthe wrecks the car with themistress in it, and then runsaway.

There’s a crime to cover upas he struggles to keep theballs he’s juggling in the air.and it’s not just about him.

“i have responsibilities,” hesays. “people rely on me.”

But is he rich and cunningenough to avoid responsibil-ity for a death he caused, fora company he brought toruin?

first-time writer-directornicholas Jarecki (he adaptedthe Bret easton ellis novel“The informers” for thescreen) builds an elaborate,interconnected world forMiller to duck and weavethrough. his wife may won-der why the check for herfavorite charity is late, butsince she hasn’t discoveredthe affair, pulling one overon her could be easy. Thesmart, business-minded

daughter is another matter.Then, there’s the one per-

son Miller calls for helpin the dead of night. nateparker plays the outsider,the young black man with apolice record whom Millerknows, for reasons thatonly become clear later.he thinks this guy will bediscrete.

and with a cop (tim roth)sniffing around the charredremains of the mistress’car, discretion and a sneakylawyer (“rockford files” vetstuart Margolin) are para-

mount in Miller’s mind.or would be, if the feds

weren’t investigating hiscompany, if he wasn’t indesperate need of a merger/sale to go through that willredeem him, at least in a fi-nancial sense.

There’s so much to keeptrack of that Jarecki robs hisfilm of some of its punch,even as he is slowly, carefullyrevealing his cards. But hecast this so perfectly that wecan’t help but be riveted.

from parker’s perplexedblend of obligation and

fear over the lies this manexpects him to tell, to sa-randon’s raised eyebrow ofsuspicion, a gesture neatlymirrored by Marling, play-ing her daughter, “arbitrage”sells on this story, this con-cept. The mild-manneredand passive Marling (“an-other earth” and “soundof My voice”) becomesthe voice of indignation asMiller’s elaborate web startsto unravel.

and gere, ever-equivocating, lets us seethe wheels turning in thiswheeler-dealer. it’s a fas-cinating performance thatwhips us between sympa-thy and appreciation forthe crook who might getaway with it, and fury thatyes, another member of the“1 percent” might escapeblame and punishment forall he’s done to others.

“arbitrage” doesn’t preach,and lives in a greater worldof subtexts than the moreovertly messaged, morenarrowly focused and moreentertaining “Margin call.”But it’s still an engrossingcharacter portrait and sobertake on the culture’s favoritevillains in recession-eraamerica.

it’s the details that stand outwhenever a classic film isconverted to 3-d.with “finding nemo,” the

shimmering sea surface,scratches on the lens of adiver’s goggles and smudgemarks nemo the clownfishmakes when he mashes hisface up against the glass wallof the aquarium that impris-ons him all pop off the screenin the 3-d reissue of pixar’sundisputed masterpiece.

The fish seem to float inbetween the surface of thescreen and the deep blue un-derwater backgrounds of thesouth pacific, an effect evenmore pronounced in 3-d.

perhaps it’s not enoughto warrant shelling out 3-ddollars to go see a moviethat’s long been one of thebest-selling home videos. if

you have kids, you alreadyhave this at home. But “find-ing nemo,” back in theatersnine years after its release, isa reminder that sometimes“instant” and “classic” cango together in a sentence de-

scribing a great movie.and “finding nemo” is a

great movie, one of the bestanimations for children evermade.

a timid single-dadclownfish (albert Brooks)overprotects his mildly dis-abled (shrunken fin) only

son (voiced by alexandergould) to the point wherenemo foolishly rebels and ispromptly snatched and tossedinto the tank at an australiandentist’s office.

dad flees the comfort ofhis reefside sea anemonehome, and with the help of

a seriously absent-mindedblue tang named dory (ellendegeneres), sets out to findhis son. and the kid, with thehelp of a tank full of mentors(willem dafoe, Brad garrett,allison Janney, austin pend-leton), plots his escape to getback to dad.

it’s a simple story, perfectlyexecuted. especially when itcomes to the voices.

dory, all halting, self-interrupting comical kvetch-ing, written specifically fordegeneres and animatedaround her gestures, stealsthe movie.

it’s a grand quest filled withfunny, broadly drawn butwise characters: sea turtlesthat speak “surfer dude,”australian sharks tryingto turn vegetarian (Barryhumphries, and see if yourecognize eric Bana), a help-ful, plucky pelican (geoffreyrush).

and what wonderful mes-sages. no matter what, “justkeep swimming.” “trust, it’swhat friends do.” and kids:“you can’t hold on to themforever.”

so don’t think of “nemo” asjust another 3-d conversion.Think of this rerelease as anencore, a handy touchstone foryou and your kids. “findingnemo” was and remains thegold standard against whichall other modern animatedfilms are measured, a classicfrom the day it premiered.

and make sure you getthere on time as “nemo” ispreceded by the new pixar“toy story” short “partysau-rus rex,” a hilarious dinosaur-out-of-water ’toon about themild-mannered t-rex toy(voiced by the ever-meekwallace shawn) who breaksout of his rut when he ispicked to join the bath toysfor a night of suds and excess.

much of the best com-edy derives frompersonal pain, and

comic-turned-filmmakerMike Birbiglia deftly trans-poses his stand-up routine tothe big screen in “sleepwalkwith Me.”

as a great comic elderonce said: “a relationship islike a shark. either it movesforward or it dies.” That’swhat long-term relationshipcouple Matt (Birbiglia) andabby (Lauren ambrose)have on their hands.

he’s a comedian/bartenderwith, at most, 11 minutesof tolerable material. she ago-getter who sees themas a married couple butdoesn’t want to confront hercommitment-phobic partner.

Matt’s small-club routine is

stale until he stumbles intotelling his own relationshipwoes: The audience howls,and he expands his act.now, he actually plays toappreciative crowds, but thehome front is not amused.his controlling, physician

dad (James rebhorn) hec-tors him to confront a sleepdisorder and get on with areal life, while his ditheringmother (carol kane) pushesthe marriage program.

Birbiglia’s deft, breezytreatment of a serious rela-tionship disorder, as well asa serious neurological sleep-ing problem, jells wonder-fully. The comedy percolatesin large part because of thelikable lead performances ofBirbiglia, whose easy, self-deprecating ways overcoatMatt’s character flaws. ashis partner, ambrose is azesty antidote who swallowsher pain with perky resolve.

kane is a hoot as Matt’s nat-tering mother and rebhornis amusingly cantankerous asthe domineering dad.

credit to co-writers Birbi-glia and ira glass for thefrothy distillation of one

man’s pain. Birbiglia and co-director seth Barrish keepthe comedy from tilting intopathos while maintaining asteady hand on the complex

relationship issues that in-spire the mirth.

The technical contributionsare tops, from editor geof-frey richman’s invigorating

pace to cinematographeradam Beckman’s comic eyefor framing. credit costumedesigner ciera wells forMatt’s apt, hang-dog duds.

for the first half of “TheQueen of versailles,”you gaze at Jackie and

david siegel with fascinateddisgust.

she’s a 43-year-old motherof eight, a former model andbeauty queen with an artifi-cially enhanced bosom.

he’s a 74-year-old magnate,the ceo of westgate resorts,the largest timeshare com-pany in the world. They areso rich, their wealth almostdefies comprehension. Theytake the limo to Mcdonald’s.

The family lives in or-lando, in a mansion that has17 bathrooms and sprawlsover 26,000 square feet. Butthe siegels decide they needlarger digs. They will build ahouse with 30 bathrooms, 10kitchens, two tennis courts, askating rink, a bowling alley,a gym and a full-size baseballfield. The architecture of thehome will be inspired by thepalace of versailles in franceand the paris Las vegas hotel.

That was the plan, anyway.director Lauren greenfieldstarted shooting “The Queenof versailles” in 2007, whenthe siegels were on trackto earn $1 billion, and keptfilming over the next threeyears, after the stock marketcrashed and the bottom fellout of the timeshare industry,taking the family fortunewith it. By then, constructionwas under way on what wasintended to be the largestsingle-roof home in america.david had spent too muchmoney (more than $150 mil-lion) on the project to simplywalk away.

“The Queen of versailles”would be entertainingenough if greenfield hadsettled for the gape-and-gawkshock value of reality tv andmade a super-size episode of“keeping up with the kar-dashians.” The movie is filledwith moments that make youlaugh and cringe at the sametime: Jackie showing off the

contents of her warehousedart (“what do you call the,uh, eggs from russia?” shesays, pointing at her fabergecollection. “Look, i’ve got thegiant ones!”) or fretting overhaving to tell her childrenthey may have to go to collegenow that the family’s broke.in one scene, she discoversthat her daughter’s pet lizardhas starved to death in itsterrarium (in her defense, thegirl says that she couldn’t getanyone to take her to the petstore to buy the animal food).in another, more horrifyingscene, Jackie discovers herpomeranian’s puppies aremissing, and fears that her

son’s pet boa, which slithersaround loose in the house,may have eaten them.

Jackie’s relationship withher children is tenuous,and her connection to herhusband grows increasinglybrittle as their finances wors-en. at first, she proudly playsthe role of trophy wife. Later,no amount of low-cut cleav-age or Botox injections canprevent david from callingher “an old hag” on cameraor shrinking away from herwhen she tries to give him achristmas kiss.

in an effort to make thefilm more expansive, green-field takes small detours,like the life stories of one of

the siegels’ nannies or thefamily’s limo driver, thatcome off as filler. The heartof “The Queen of versailles”rests with the increasinglytroubled couple, whose di-vide grows larger with everyfinancial setback, and es-pecially Jackie, who seemseither unwilling or unable tosee that her husband, disap-pointed by his own failureand annoyed by her indefati-gable spirit, is slowly growingto hate her.

By the end, the movie haspulled off a small miracle:you become absorbed in thelives of these people for whothey are and not what theyown.

David and Jackie Siegel

Jackie Siegel in “The queen of Versailles.”


By christy LeMireAssociated Press

v iewers hoping for ajuicy expose of thesuper-secretive church

of scientology in “The Mas-ter” might want to adjusttheir expectations just a tad.

writer-director paul Thom-as anderson has acknowl-edged that the cult leader ofthe film’s title, played withgreat bluster and bravado byphilip seymour hoffman,one of his longtime players,was inspired by scientologyfounder L. ron hubbard.

and certain key phrasesand ideas that are tenets ofthe church do show up in thefilm. There’s the notion thateverything that shapes us isrecorded from our earliestdays, even in the womb, andthat people can dig deep intotheir pasts — into past lives,even — to purge negative ex-periences and emotions andachieve a state of perfection.

“The Master” takes place in1950 as hoffman’s character,the charismatic Lancasterdodd, is releasing an im-portant new book outlininghis bold philosophy; that’sthe same year hubbard pub-lished his worldwide best-seller, “dianetics.”

amy adams, as dodd’strue-believer wife, peggy,makes this quietly forcefulproclamation toward theend: “This is something youdo for a billion years or notat all.” it’s a number thatcouldn’t possibly be ran-dom, given the billion-yearcontract the most devotedscientologists sign.

and yet, the church, orrather, “The cause,” asit’s known here, emergesrelatively unscathed. dodd,whom his followers refer toas “Master,” is command-ing and calculating andsometimes even cruel, butthe bond he forges with awayward Joaquin phoenixreveals his inquisitiveness,generosity of spirit and a lovethat can’t be defined, teeter-ing as it does between thepaternal and the homoerotic.

Meanwhile, phoenix’s

character, the troubled,volatile and often inebri-ated freddie Quell, seems athis happiest once he’s safelyensconced within the group.he’s still a “scoundrel,” asdodd affectionately labelshim upon their first meet-ing, but at least he’s func-tioning in a society.

But “The Master” isn’tinterested in anything soclear-cut as joy vs. misery.it’s about the way people’slives intersect, if only brieflyand perhaps without a satis-fying sense of closure.

anderson, long a masterhimself of technique andtone, has created a startling,stunningly gorgeous filmshot in lushly vibrant 65mm,with powerful performancesall around and impeccable

production design. But it’salso his most ambitious filmyet, quite a feat followingthe sprawling “Magnolia”and the operatic “There willBe Blood,” in that it’s moreimpressionistic and lessadherent to a tidy three-actstructure.

if you like answers, youwill feel frustrated. and yet,as fond of ambiguity as iusually am, i still felt a bitemotionally detached after-ward. wowed, for sure, butnot exactly moved.

still, “The Master” doesgrab you from the first im-age: an overhead shot of adeeply blue-green pacificocean as it churns behinda ship, punctuated by theunsettling score from radio-head guitarist Jonny green-wood (also the composeron “There will Be Blood”),with its percussive knockingsand staccato strings. we areon edge from the start, andphoenix’s presence magnifiesthat sensation. hunched-overand mumbling, with an off-kilter sense of humor and ascrewed-up mouth, freddie isall impulse, and it’s usually ofan adolescent, sexual nature.

in his first film since the2010 performance-art stuntof “i’m still here,” phoenixonce again digs deep to minehis character’s inner tormentand comes up with a mix ofhaunting quirks and tics.

freddie wasn’t entirelyright before he left Lynn,Mass., to fight in world war

ii, and navy combat hasonly traumatized him fur-ther. after drifting from jobto job, including a stint as adepartment-store photogra-pher, which anderson andfrequent francis ford cop-pola cinematographer MihaiMalaimare Jr. depict in long,fluid, bravura takes, fred-die finds himself wanderingonto a docked yacht that’sthe site of a lavish party.

turns out, dodd has bor-rowed the vessel for hisdaughter’s wedding, andeveryone on board is sailingfrom san francisco to newyork. (The shot of the yachtgliding beneath the goldengate Bridge toward a vibrantsetting sun is a beauty, andanderson knows it, and heknows to hold it for a longtime for maximum effect.)

dodd takes an instantliking to his stowaway andmakes him his protege.Maybe he’s fascinated bythis young man’s animalisticnature from a scientific per-spective and wants to tamehim. or maybe he recogniz-es a kindred spirit; despitedodd’s mantras about notletting your emotions con-trol you, he quickly snapswhen questioned or crossed.

This sets up one of the film’smost riveting scenes: doddrecords freddie answering aseries of questions (“informalprocessing,” he calls it) thatbegins with the mundaneand becomes increasinglyprobing. The rapid-fire give-and-take that starts outcalmly and builds to a cre-scendo has a mesmerizingmusicality and reveals pain-ful, personal truths.

as freddie insinuates him-self within the highest eche-lons of The cause and dodd’sown family, peggy mistrustshim more and more.

adams has the least-showypart among the three leads,but in some ways, she mightjust give the most impressiveperformance of all. slowly,steadily, she reveals peggyas the brains and muscle ofthe operation. it’s frighten-ing, and it demonstratesyet another facet of adams’

versatility.dodd’s cause aims to pro-

vide a path for a post-waramerica seeking direction,a sense of comfort and com-munity for those who havefiguratively (and, in freddie’scase, literally) been at sea.

or at least that’s the

gruel he’s spoon-feedingthe mixed-up masses. an-derson, in typically daringfashion, has no interest inassuaging anyone.

and so the open-endednessthe film depicts ultimatelyresembles ordinary, everydaylife.

owner steve Judy openedharbor Breeze at Bridgesidein May. This casual eateryis in the spot of the formerpoint grill.

Judy tapped industry vet-eran chuck isenberg as gen-eral manager and broughtMatt riley into the kitchenas executive chef.

The property received acomplete makeover with acoastal color palette of aqua-marine and cool greens andcrisp, white accent trim. Thecreative use of sisal to wrapthe bar area snaps attentionto the design. classy andcasual.

french bistro-stylechairs lend a rive gauchelook to the dining area,and the beadboard-linedbooths topped with thesheltering angles of Bermu-da shutters provide outdoorviews for all the diners.The booths are upholsteredin a khaki-colored fauxleather.

whitewashed bricks, wo-ven carpets, driftwood ac-cents and a clever weatheredchandelier over the commu-nity table bring tranquillityand coastal charm to thisrestaurant.

riley has drafted anuncomplicated menu thatcelebrates the Lowcountry.shrimp pulled from shemcreek, tomatoes harvestedfrom wadmalaw islandplants, hickory hill milkand a commitment to localproduce and seafood an-chor coastal carolina foodmemories to the offerings atharbor Breeze.

riley worked for cheffrank McMahon at hank’sseafood, so this young chefis comfortable breakingdown a grouper or filletinga snapper and temperingceviche with acid andspice.

The kitchen makes itssoups and sauces fromscratch and pickles its cu-cumber garnishes.

appetizers favor the fry

side, and a panko-crustedgreen tomato ($7) withbacon bits, arugula and pi-miento cheese needed justa little more time cookingto release the tangy tomatoflavors.

The kitchen provides anice touch with peel-n-eatshrimp ($10) by grilling theshrimp and then servingthem with a simple cocktailsauce.

riley also makes his owntortilla chips to accompanychips and salsa ($5).

The menu is tightly editedbut provides something foreveryone: chicken, fish orsalmon sandwiches ($8-$10); a chickpea and blackbean burger for the meat-adverse; and a variety oftacos ($4), which allow foreasy sampling.

we found the pulled pork

(all tacos $4) to be on themild side of smoke and heat.it was topped with avocado,

tomatillo salsa and oversizedchunks of red bell pepper,but the flavors did not pop.

The grilled fish taco faredbetter with its topping ofcilantro-lime flavored cremefraiche. kudos to the kitchenfor warming the tacos beforefilling them.

you can make a meal ofthe tacos for $9 — any twotacos and your choice of side(fries, broccoli salad, redrice, grits, goat cheese potatocake or grilled asparagus fora $1 up-charge).

it is hard to pass up lo-cal shrimp on the menu,and riley’s kitchen didthe shrimpers proud witha simply battered friedshrimp platter served withcoleslaw, french fries andhush puppies.

The slaw was on the sweetside, tasting more of saladdressing than mayonnaise,and the fries had unevencooking in common with

the fried green tomato. Butthe shrimp (all 12 of them)were sweet and fresh.

Beef eaters will find a mod-estly priced 12-ounce rib-eyefor $21 and chimichurri-sauced skirt steak for $18.

neighboring diners fa-vored a 12-ounce bone-in pork chop ($18) andmany guests around usenjoyed the pasta specialof the day.

riley’s kitchen experienceshows with his reducedsauces and use of roastedvegetables to enhanceflavors.

he spans the globe withthe use of beurre blanc,chimichurri, chorizoand ceviche. he keeps itcloser to home with braisedgreens, hush puppies, she-crab soup and pimientocheese.

The facebook pages showa well-ordered kitchen, so itwas difficult to explain thelapses in cooking.

They are committed to coldbeer and run their taps froma freezer and cool downtheir bottled beer on ice.

servers are helpful andfriendly, and there is ahealthy dose of managementwalking around.

The location is an idealone for harbor Breeze at thegateway of patriots pointdevelopment.

Brightly colored adiron-dack chairs create a relaxedvibe on the patio, and thecreative use of shutters soft-ens the pedestrian design ofthe building.

The menu has broad appealwith simple grilled seafood,vegetable-topped pastasand many entrees availablegrilled or fried. so the bridgewalkers who maintain acommitment to a healthylifestyle and those who favorwings, a wedge and a burgertopped with caramelizedonions, blue cheese, aioliand bacon can find commonground.

and whether you want tocatch the breeze or shootthe breeze, harbor Breezemakes it all possible.

Though it’s been open onlysince february, whisk easilycould be the crowning jewelfor the charleston hospital-ity group, which counts theMarket street saloon, tab-buli, toast! and eli’s tableamong its properties.

german-born vinzenzaschbacher runs the showat whisk. as a master pastrychef, and the former execu-tive pastry chef at charles-ton place hotel, he providesthe bakery with uncommonexpertise.

created in the same veinas an italian paninoteca,whisk serves a series of hotand cold sandwiches, salads,coffees and pastry itemssuch as danishes, muffins,eclairs, cream puffs andbiscotti. indeed, the refrig-eration units show a treasure

trove of sweets.The kitchen displays other

prizes, like a pastrami sand-wich ($8.50) with thickwedges of buttery havarticheese, sweet pickles andonions, which is fit betweenturkish pide bread smearedwith dijon mustard andmayonnaise.

also recommended:whisk’s roasted chickenbreast and tapenade wrap($7.50) built on Lavash bread.

and we’d gladly orderthe prosciutto and fontina

cheese, a mix-and-meltcontaining arugula, onions,mayo and balsamic vinai-grette on focaccia.

The bakery shows itssouthern sway, too, creatinga sandwich of pulled pork,macaroni and cheese, andbarbecue sauce ($8.50) ona homemade bun. otherstandbys include the smokedsalmon ($9), sweet and spicysalami ($8.50) and a grilledhalloumi sandwich ($8.50)— the creamy, savory cheesemelding well with pickled ja-lapenos and pepper jelly.

all told, whisk’s Meetingstreet digs, as well as its ty-pography and design — thelogo features stars and acake slice above the bakery’sname — echo a ’50s-erawholesomeness. yet the aro-mas from the freshly roastedcoffees and baked pies andquiches allot a happy touchof timelessness.

t he music business hasgone through somepretty radical changes

in the past decade.where folks used to buy

cds and listen to them as abody of work, the advent ofitunes and file sharing has

driven listeninghabits to focuson the single,rather than the

album as a whole.one band that still seems

to appreciate the fine art ofreleasing an entire album ofmusic is Band of horses.

formed in seattle in 2004,Band of horses is fronted bysouth carolina native BenBridwell.

raised in irmo, Bridwellmoved to tucson, ariz., asa teenager, then relocatedagain to washington state.

The band’s debut, 2006’s“everything all the time,”turned heads, thanks to acombination of great song-writing and Bridwell’s oth-erworldly vocals.

since that auspiciousdebut, the members havetraveled the world open-ing for bands such as foofighters and pearl Jam.

next week, Band of horsesreleases its fourth studio al-bum, “Mirage rock,” whichcontinues the band’s streakof beautifully crafted collec-tions of indie rock.

Last month, charlestonscene had a chance to catch

up with Bridwell, who haslived in Mount pleasantsince 2007. he was in den-ver, where Band of horseswas preparing to start a touras the opening act for MyMorning Jacket.

Q: So you’re in Denvertoday?

a: yeah, we’re at redrocks. it’s gorgeous. to-night’s the first show withMy Morning Jacket, andwe’re kicking it off with twonights here at red rocks,which is bonkers.

Q: Have you played withMy Morning Jacket before?

a: we did a show withthem at the end of last yearup in new york. we’ve beenfriends over the years andhave kept in touch.

Q: Let’s talk about thenew album, “Mirage Rock.”Tell me a little about theideas and inspirations thatwent into the making of thealbum.

a: well, i guess there wasa lot of traveling involvedwith it. also, being a parentthese days with two kids,that responsibility kind ofweighs more heavily than itdid before.

when i get home, i wantto be able to spend as muchtime with my kids as i can,and not have the cloud overmy head of, “oh, i gotta getsome work done.”

so now, instead of lazingabout on a day off, i’ll try to

work, try to write. a lot ofthe songs came from thingslike that. written in hotelrooms on days off, and inMount pleasant in this littlestorage garage i had for alittle while. i’d write a lot inthere.

i guess the whole vibe ofthe album is that it’s moreup-tempo, more upbeat thanthe last record. it feels a bitmore celebratory, althoughthere are some sad moments.

Q: Is most of the materialnew, or was there anythingyou had tucked away for afew years, waiting for theright album to go on?

a: at least one song madeit onto the album that i hadpreviously recorded for asolo record that never cameout.

everyone writes in theband though, so we bouncedstuff off of each other. it’s

solitary, though, becausewe’re not all in the sameroom.

we’ll email each otherwith ideas. once we got tothe studio though and gotinto the recording environ-ment, it became much morecollaborative.

The primary co-writer onthis album is Bill reynolds,who had very few songs onthe last album.

Q: The new album defi-nitely has a different tonethan the last one. Is thereone song of which you’reparticularly proud?

a: There’s one, “slow cruelhands of time,” that i hadbasically given up on. iwrote this song, and i didn’tthink it was any good, andmy friends forced me to takeanother look at it.

so i worked on it, and it be-came a lot cooler than what

i’d initially done. The bandreally helped me pull it backtogether.

also, the song “dumpsterworld” is just hilarious. ithink it’s awesome that wecan show a bit of our humor-ous side.

Q: How did you end upworking with producerGlyn Johns, who has pro-duced or engineeredalbums for such rock lu-minaries as The Who, TheRolling Stones and LedZeppelin?

a: we got lucky that hehad worked with ryan ad-ams on his last record. ryanadams and our band share amanager, and managementbrought it up.

we were throwing innames of dream producersthat we’d like to work with,and the fact that glyn mighteven be an option led to apretty immediate reaction.we said, “Let’s go talk toglyn!”

Q: Did he bring anythingto the recording processthat you weren’t expecting?

a: i mean besides theobvious nuts and bolts ofthe thing, what really sur-prised me was how well wegot along. outside of theproducer/recording artistrelationship, we became re-ally good friends. i didn’treally have any bros over theage of 70, but even with thedifferent backgrounds, i wasreally pleasantly surprised at

how well we hit it off.

Q: You’ve played all overthe world, in Europe, SouthAmerica. What do you finddifferent about your fansoutside the U.S.?

a: it’s the similarities actu-ally that i find the most glar-ing. Like when we go some-place like australia or Brazil.The lack of pretentiousnessin some countries is very fa-miliar to a southern person.when no one wants to puton airs, i find that fascinat-ing and comforting, thatpeople can be like that allover the world.

Q: You played WembleyArena with the Foo Fight-ers last year. What did itfeel like to play your musicin such a huge venue with acrowd that big?

a: well, we’ve been verylucky to tour with pearl Jamand bigger bands like that.it’s really strange at first, butwe’ve become so used to be-ing the support band that wekind of relish that position.you get to see these venuesthat you probably wouldn’tget to see otherwise.

you play for an hour orso, and i think that’s a greatamount of time for us. i lovean hour set. you pick thestrongest stuff from yourcatalog, or stretch your legsa little with some weird stuff,but i just find it exhilarat-ing to get up and play foran hour and try to win thecrowd over.

the supersuckerscalling itself the “great-

est rock ’n’ roll Band in theworld,” tucson, ariz.-bornband The supersuckers maynot be modest about its suc-cess, but there’s good reason.

The band’s humorouslyoffbeat and eclectic brandof “cowpunk” coupled witha highly praised live show

have become its staples.Though The supersuckers

formed in 1988, the banddidn’t begin making wavesin the music scene until 1992after it ventured to seattleto promote its garage punkand country sound. it expe-rienced mostly local successfor its first three sub-pop re-leases before garnishing sur-prising success with “Must’veBeen high,” an album of onlycountry-esque songs, in 1997.

to date, the band hastoured with such notableacts as pearl Jam, The ra-mones, social distortionand willie nelson. Thegroup released its most re-cent album, “get it togeth-er,” in 2008 and is touringwith new drummer chrisvon streicher.

on its fourth studio effort, Band ofhorses seems to have settled into an agree-able groove. That isn’t to say that the bandis spinning its wheels by any stretch of theimagination.

Band of horses has always had a freshsound, combining singer-songwriter BenBridwell’s far-out lyrics with echoing gui-tar and songs that go from a whisper to awall of sound in the most agreeable way.

“is There a ghost,” one of the best songsfrom the band’s 2007 release, “cease to Be-

gin,” is a great example of that.no, “Mirage rock” doesn’t sound like

a rehash of any of the previous albums,but instead unwinds like a group of musi-cians growing comfortable with the musicthey’re making.

The music on the new album ranges fromupbeat and peppy (“knock knock” and“feud”) to melodic (“dumpster world,”which sounds influenced by crosby, stills& nash) to harmonically melancholy(“slow cruel hands of time,” probably the

album’s finest track).Legendary producer and recent rock and

roll hall of fame inductee glyn Johnsproduced the album, and the resulting col-lection of songs continues Band of horses’streak of besting itself with each successiverelease.

anyone who has enjoyed a past albumwill love what they get here.

key tracks: “knock knock,” “dumpsterworld,” “slow cruel hands of time”

More often than not, when a musicianor group of musicians records an album,they are looking to make a statement, tocapture their art for posterity.

sometimes, though, the artists are justlooking to have some fun and allow morethan just a bar full of listeners get in onthe act.

i suspect that The fairy god Muthaslean more toward the latter.

That isn’t to say that the music on “weare the fairy god Muthas” is subpar.

doug “street d” walters and t. Ballard“skip deBeatte” Lesemann have beenplaying in bands locally for years, and

Lesemann even played with athens, ga.,indie darlings elf power at one point.

on this, the debut by The fairy godMuthas, walters handles lead vocals,guitar and bass, while Lesemann suppliesbacking vocals and drums.

from the fun and catchy how-do-you-do opener, “we are The fairy godMuthas,” to the closing story of a crazyrelative, “grandpa’s nuts,” there is a lotto like here, as long as you’re prepared tostrike the same sort of fun frame of mindthese two were obviously in during therecording.

a cover of The stooges’ “raw power”

supplies the needed over-the-top energy,and while “awendaw” is unlikely to be-come the local town’s anthem, it is a prettyhilarious tune.

walters is a talented songwriter, as evi-denced by his previous work with bandssuch as torture town, and he loves toexperiment with different sounds andvoices.

if his maniacal vocals on “grandpa’snuts” don’t bring a smile to your face,then you’re taking life way too seriously.

key tracks: “we are the fairy godmuthas,” “awendaw,” “grandpa’s nuts”

tyler Boone has been making a splash inthe local music scene over the past coupleof years.

his last release, 2011’s “a new start,” fea-tured some impressive songwriting and astripped-down production.

for his latest ep, “changing pace,”Boone has stepped things up, employingocean industries producer/engineers ericrickert and Jeff Leonard Jr. to produce, aswell as local graphic artist gil schuler todesign the ep’s cover.

The disc starts with “don’t forget My

name,” which follows a blueprint similarto the material on “a new start,” but onthe next track, “stuck Between,” thingsblast off with wailing guitar that blendswell with Boone’s voice.

“home” and “all of This” continue thetrend started by “stuck Between,” deliv-ering memorable music and lyrics withricher production values than on the lastalbum.

The final track, “put it down,” is adifferent animal from the rest of thesongs on the ep. as congos and a horn

section play a funky riff behind him,Boone sings about trying to get someoneoff his mind.

it’s a pretty big departure from whatwe’ve heard from him before, and i ap-plaud the experimentation.

all in all, Boone continues to grow as anartist.

By stratton LawrenceSpecial to The Post and Courier

before he was “rockin’ the suburbs,” judging onthe nBc talent show “The sing-off” or writingpoetry with william shatner, Ben folds was

just another piano player fronting a rock band.when the chapel hill, n.c.-based trio Ben folds

five burst into the national consciousness in 1997with the song “Brick,” a painfully honest recount-ing of folds’ abortion experience with a highschool girlfriend, grunge music still dominatedthe mainstream.

with his nerdy look and nasally vocals, foldshardly seemed appealing to youths wearing flanneland rocking out to pearl Jam and nirvana. never-theless, the album that song was on, “whatever andever amen,” became a hit and gave the band stayingpower, drawing new attention to its 1995 eponymousdebut, as well.

even with a piano and upright bass driving theband, Ben folds five knew how to rock. Most impor-tantly, folds’ cynical, anxiety-tinged lyrics instantlyconnected with its audience.

in 1999, the band released what proved to be its finalalbum for more than a decade, “The unauthorizedBiography of reinhold Messner.” although the effortdrew critical acclaim for its artistry and a minor hit inthe song “army,” it failed to generate the same popu-lar success of its predecessor.

after three years of heavy touring and frequent in-fighting, the five split up in 2000, just five years into itscareer.

Beyond the Fivefolds didn’t slow down for a minute.in 2001, he released “rockin’ the suburbs,” cement-

ing his celebrity as a solo artist. featuring folds onevery instrument in the recording and the “weirdal” yankovic-directed video, the song quicklyproved that folds’ savvy pop songwriting could per-severe on its own without his old band.

“i wasn’t upset by it. i thought the song was funny,”said robert sledge, bassist for Ben folds five.

after the band split up, folds went on to greater levelsof stardom, including releasing numerous solo albums,recording songs for movies such as “hoodwinked!”and “over the hedge” and acting as a judge on the tvcompetition “The sing-off.” he also went on to marryhis third wife and moved to australia (he’s since wed-ded his fourth and moved to nashville, tenn.).

sledge, on the other hand, settled into home life inchapel hill, producing records with friends fromthe squirrel nut zipper and hobex and playing as asession player and the leader of the Bob sledge Band.

Ben folds five drummer darren Jessee formed theband hotel Lights, touring consistently but neverachieving the popularity of Ben folds five.

ReunitedBy 2008, the five reunited for the first time in eight

years, playing a one-off show in chapel hill as part ofa tour series hosted by Myspace.

“That happened at the perfect time,” sledge said. “iwas ready to play with the band again, and we’ve been

scheming to get something doneever since.”

it took another four years toget Ben folds five back on stage,beginning at this summer’s Moun-tain Jam festival in hunter, n.y. inJune, the group played four showstogether, including a headliningappearance at the marquee sum-mer festival Bonnaroo.

“it was invigorating to play thoseold songs and know that they stillworked and had some longevity,”sledge said.

Before that run, Ben folds fivereturned to the studio duringthe spring, laying down tracksfor “The sound of the Life of theMind.” The band’s fourth studiorecord and the first in 13 years, it’sdue for release tuesday, the daybefore the group takes the stage innorth charleston.

“i think this album is as differentfrom ‘reinhold Messner’ as that al-bum was from ‘whatever and ever,’” sledge said. “working the newsongs in is going to be interesting.”

for the new release, the bandreturned to its roots in more waysthan one. rather than seeking outmajor label support, the memberschose to record and produce the

album on their own using the fan-funded site pledgeMusic. The cam-paign was a resounding success,reaching 366 percent of its targetfunds by press time.

“it started with us making therecord at Ben’s studio, doing inde-pendent promotion and social me-dia stuff to pay for it,” sledge said.

Late in the game, they acceptedan offer from sony to distributethe album, but the album’s officiallabel is imaveepee records, a labelthey created with supporters fromthe fundraising campaign.

kicking off with the quirky arttrack “erase Me,” the album con-tinues folds’ tradition of drawingon real characters and experiencesin his life, including a story thatreferences the songwriter andthe sound engineer fantasizingas children about “kicking thechurch down” called “Michaelpraytor, five years Later.”

“hold That Thought” begins withthe line, “she broke down and criedat the strip mall acupuncturist,while the world went on outside.”

Throughout the disc, folds dropslittle reminders that he’s held onto his everyman nature and realisthumanity.

“Ben’s art is pop songwriting, tome anyway, and it comes out in

weird ways,” sledge said. “some-times it’s a pop song with a pottymouth or in an art-rock way, andsometimes it’s more accessible.”

On the road againalthough “The sound of the

Life of the Mind” contains sev-eral radio-friendly songs, sledgeclaims that the band wasn’tunder any pressure to produceanother “Brick” or a band versionof “rockin’ the suburbs.” But thatdoesn’t mean they won’t be play-ing those songs on tour.

“we play ‘Brick’ because we likeit. people project a lot of thingsonto you when you have a hit.i’ve had people say funny thingsto me, like, ‘you play that stupid“Brick” song, don’t you?’ But thenthey’re actually being nice to you,and i’m like, ‘well, that was a littlebit of an insult, but you didn’t seeit that way,’ ” sledge said.

“people might think that we’regoing to anchor the set with ‘Brick,’because that’s our hit. i wouldconsider this band a little bit of acult band, and just because we hap-pened to have a hit that helped getus along, it’s still our choice to putthe song in because we like playingit. and it’s kind of challenging ac-tually, musically, to play something

that delicate and make it dynamicand really let the song speak. That’sour craft, and we like doing it.”

even after 12 years away, sledgesaid that the band’s dynamics arestill very much the same on stage.

during their hiatus, folds stayedbusy with his solo projects. he’spartnered and toured with JohnMayer and with Ben kweller andBen Lee as The Bens. folds evenfound a frequent collaborator inshatner, producing the former “startrek” star’s album, “has Been,” andcalling on his vocal talents for hisown “fear of pop” project.

despite folds’ still-growing starpresence, sledge said that famehas had no effect on the innerworkings of the reunited band.

“if feels the same as it did in the’90s,” he said. “we have a musi-cal relationship, and when we’reon stage, we all push each otherand are sensitive to the ways thateach other plays. it’s still the sameawareness and musical account-ability to one another, and i don’tthink any external pressure is go-ing to tamper with that. we havea really strong respect for eachother. The ideas in this band comefrom the three of us playing to-gether as a core unit.”

sledge points out that Ben folds

five is hardly an “imaged band,”attributing any star power that theband or its namesake has to themusic that it produces. That mind-set boils down to decisions like thepledgeMusic campaign, maintain-ing artistic control over the music.

“everything comes from theband. we run the show,” sledgesaid. “There’s never somebody elsetelling us what to do. we’re notvery good with that.”

for the first single from “Thesound of the Life of the Mind,”the group released the song “do itanyway,” which has garnered heavyairplay in australia. during thefundraising campaign, the groupoffered fans that pledged $2,500 ormore a personalized recording thatincludes a verse about them or theperson of their choosing.

The catchiest song on the al-bum, however, might be “draw acrowd,” with its sing-along chorus.although the track might not bedestined to be a hit (some parts arenot newspaper or radio friendly),it underlies the songwriters’ con-tinued reliance on self-deprecatinghumor and cynical realism. it’s thatlevel-headedness that helps foldsavoid the “sellout” tag and garnerhis band major gigs 12 years afterits last tour.

blondes are the besta few weeks ago, charles-

ton stage kicked off its 35thanniversary season with thehit Broadway show “LegallyBlonde: The Musical” at thedock street Theatre.

if you aren’t familiar withthe movie, Beth curley,director of marketing for

charleston stage, gives aquick synopsis: “Based onthe movie starring reesewitherspoon, elle woods,the star of ucLa’s delta nusorority, appears to have itall. But when her boyfriend,warner, dumps her forsomeone more ‘serious,’ elleputs down her credit cards,hits the books and heads forharvard Law. ... and withthe help of her adorable chi-

huahua Bruiser, played byreal life rescued pet helpers’pup Lo Mein, and her classicbend-n-snap, elle realizes,and charleston will, too,that brainpower is as potentas a blonde in a pink dress!”

The seemingly ditsy, yetdetermined, blonde is playedby vanessa Moyen (roxiein last season’s rendition of“chicago”), who has already

been wowing audiences withher performance.

with lots of fun sing-alongs, approachable char-acters “and a whole lot ofblonde ambition,” this is agreat show for the wholefamily.

able by phone at 577-7183or on their website, www.charlestonstage.com.

Here is one of Edgar Kaplan’sfavorite deals, from a duplicatepairs longago.Coverup theEastandWest cards.Against four spades doubled,West led the heart king, thenplayed the ace and a third heart,hoping partner could overruffdummy. Kaplan, sitting East,could infer that West was voidin spades and that four heartswould make 10 tricks. So thetask at hand was for the defensetosetdeclarer three tricks.WhenNorth played the third heart, de-clarer ruffed in dummywith thenine. Kaplan casually discardedthediamond five, apparentlyun-able to overruff. Declarer nowplayed a spade from dummy tohis ace and was shocked whenWest discarded.

Declarer could do nothing butlead another spade.Kaplanwon,played his last diamond, and ob-tained the diamond ruff for thenecessary penalty of 800 andmatchpoint top.Of course, there was consider-able discussion between Northand South. South explained tohis partner that despite all ap-pearances to thecontrary,hehadheard of a finesse, but he arguedthat he could never play East forthe kingwhen he didn’t overruffthe heart. North had little sym-pathy for his partner, but 20-20hindsightmakes the gamemucheasier. In my opinion it was aneat play and apt towork againstalmost anyone. However, itwouldn’thavesucceededagainstyou orme. Orwould it? © United Feature Syndicate

dear aBBy: My fatherleft my mother after32 years of marriage.

to say Mom was devastatedwould be putting it mildly.she tried to keep things cor-dial for the sake of her fourkids, but dad spurned herefforts.

My three brothers and iare married with children ofour own. only recently havei been able to express howashamed i am of myself andmy siblings for the despica-ble way we have treated ourmother for the past 17 years.

dad was always arrogant,but he became even worsewhen he came into money.in our lives, dad becameno. 1. The reason? youguessed it: the money. weput our mother down ev-ery chance we got, and ourspouses chimed right in.we visited her only once ortwice a year and never re-paid the money she lent us.she knew she wasn’t wantedor respected. dad is clue-less to the fact that we hangaround only because of whatwe can get from him. This isstill true of my brothers, buti no longer want any part ofthis charade.

Mom is gone now. no, shehasn’t passed away. she qui-etly moved out of our lives,and i don’t know whereshe is. i don’t blame her forleaving. The abuse she tookfrom us shouldn’t happento a dog. when i look back,i remember a mother whoheld a full-time job, kept amarvelous home, was a greatcook and had a wonderfullaugh and sensitivity. shedidn’t smoke, drink or cheaton dad. was she perfect? ofcourse not; none of us is.

all she wanted after thedivorce was to be loved byher kids and spend timewith her grandkids. now thegrandkids are growing upwithout knowing this won-derful woman.

Mom, if you see this let-ter, i love you dearly. i hopeyou can someday forgive mefor all the years of hatefulremarks and unkind deeds.

The pain you must have suf-fered is something i’ll haveto live with the rest of mylife. you are a class act, andi’m going to live the rest ofmy life trying to emulateyour values and quiet digni-ty. — Missing My MoMin scottsdaLe, ariz.

DEAR MISSING: If you’retruly sorry, it’s time to tellyour mother personallyand ask her forgiveness. Dowhatever it takes to locateher, including hiring a pri-vate detective if necessary.It may be expensive, but usesome of the money you gotfrom Dear Old Dad.

dear aBBy: i am an81-year-old grandmotherwho trusted that my annualpap smear exam would pro-vide early detection for anytype of uterine cancer.

it took a diagnosis of uter-ine cancer that resulted ina subsequent hysterectomyfor me to discover that thistest is not enough. althoughthe pap test should be partof a regular checkup, it onlychecks for cervical cancer.except when hormonetherapy is being taken, anybleeding, spotting or ab-normal discharge followingmenopause is not normaland should be reportedat once to your doctor.— georgia grand-Mother

DEAR GRANDMOTH-ER: Whether a woman ispre- or post-menopausal,and whether or not she ison hormone therapy, sheshould immediately alerther doctor to any abnormalbleeding, spotting or dis-charge. These symptomsare not just warning signsof cancer. They also couldindicate a polyp otherproblem.
