76 ROAD TRIPS


Given musical steroids and revamped, the Freedom Festival is

back and aiming to entertain. It is Americana at its absolute peak. It exists as a one stop shop for competition, rock and roll, barbeque, beer, per-formance mechanics, water sports, and man’s best friend catching some major air. This isn’t the outlandish fest of yes-

teryear. Measures will be taken to insure safety by particular means. Unlike the memory of the fest in previous years the Freedom Festival will provide activities and events appealing to every age. A family event is the goal. The festival uti-lizes downtown Evansville as well as the mighty aquatic concourse that is the Ohio River. Not to mention acrobatic activity in the airspace above the city. Seasoned patrons of the Freedom Festival may not notice a huge difference in this year’s schedule but the changes are there strengthening the framework of the event. The most appealing change particu-larly for the musically minded of the Evansville area is that there will be three nationally known names playing the nights of Friday June 19th and Saturday June 20th. Top ten country artist

Billy Currington is on the bill for Friday night. Actor Kevin Bacon and his music-veteran brother Michael, dubbed The Bacon Brothers, are scheduled for Saturday night along with swing kings Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Single admission for both concerts is $20 on Friday night and on Saturday night or they may be purchased to-gether for $35. Call it the economy, going green, or declining inter-est but the usual hydroplaning supermachines that have pre-viously been the staple in “Thunder on the Ohio” have been given their own separate event. Their replacements are smaller and just as sleek. Formally titled F1 Champboats, these slightly sinister-looking crafts are built for speed; pulling four to five G’s to be specific. These super boats are guaranteed to please any racing junkie out there. Another addition to the river events are The Tommy Typhoon Jet Ski Show and the Lake St. Louis Water Ski Show. These events show-case water sport skill punctuated with agile, awe-inspiring stunts and risky, precise routines.

The system of admission is dissimilar as well. Wristbands comparable to the Livestrong brace-lets will ensure entrance to the festival. For $15, a red and white wristband with secure a general adult pass for all four days. A multi-hued wrist-band will be necessary for any child 15 years or younger to enter the festival. These are free of charge and can be ordered online, by phone, or picked up from any Old National Bank location. The white and blue wristband is the top-of-the-line VIP deal and for $125 it can be yours. It in-cludes access to a climate controlled barge for the concerts, drinks, catered food, and seating.

Two more new events unfamiliar to veteran festival goers are the Bar-beque Fest and the East Meets West Fest. The Barbeque Fest provides meaty competition for Tri-State barbeque savants in which they can bring their best recipe to the table and match it up to others. The par-ticipant and the spectator can sample these recipes while supporting Gilda’s Club for cancer awareness. The East Meets West fest brings together the east side and the west side of Evansville through fierce completion. Scores will settle and bonds forged with an intense game of sand volleyball among other games. Whichever side is the best side will take home a cash prize and a trophy which can switch hands in years to come. Before thinking that the festival might sound like a ghost of its former self keep in mind there are still quite a few events which have gone unchanged. The sky shows will go on without a hitch. Bring an umbrella because it will be raining women. The Misty Blues All Woman Skydiving Team has broken the skydiving mold by injecting pure girl power into the sport. Their display is patriotic and record-breaking. The thrill-seeking ladies will be available to meet after their performance. In past years many different planes have raced through the airspace of downtown Evansville. This year it will be no different. Air showmen Gene Soucy and Warren Pietsch will put on a dual perfor-mance boasting four separate aircraft and stunts to make jaws drop. They will be accompanied by Teresa Stokes who is an experienced wing-walker and all around stuntwoman. Other favorites include bierstubes equipped to please with live music. Rachel and the Jimmies will play Thursday night. Never Been Caught will throw down their groove on Friday and The Pop Tart Monkeys will perform on Saturday. The 2009 Miss and Little Miss Freedom Festival Pageants will continue on as usual crowning a lucky young lady and girl. Winners of the Miss Freedom Festival will receive one of three substantial graduate savings accounts of $500 to $1,000. Winners of the Little Miss Freedom Festival will receive one out of five savings bonds ranging from $50 to $200. Other competitions of the past include the Office Olympics and the Junior Achievement Gran Prix. Throughout the entire festival specific times will be set aside for honoring the men and women who have served our country with military reenactments. As always, the end of the festival is concluded with the consistently dazzling July 4th fire-works display. This is a balanced festival in which Freedom Fest veter-ans and those new to the Evansville area can come with their families to celebrate their individual liberty and how they obtained it in the first place. For more info visit www.evansvillefreedomfestival.org.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will be just one of the national acts coming to Evansville this year.


Out of all forms and genres of music, blues seethes a

vibe that is understood across cultures and lan-guages. It boats a roller-coaster of emotions and has the power to heal and the power to scar. Existing within its rich guitar, sharp drums, and smooth bass

are lovers, killers, and heartache. It is only fitting that a festival with such passion be named after the legend that created and re-fined blues. William Christopher (W.C.) handy was born in Alabama, wrote songs and played the trumpet. he is recognized nationally for his role in stylizing the modern state of the blues. The main festival put on in his honor is in his hometown of Florence but all blues lovers here in the tri-state need not go further than henderson, Kentucky.

According to the official handy Blues and Barbeque Festival website, W.C. handy had some considerable ties to the Tri-State. handy ran out of money in St. Louis on his way home from the 1892 Chicago World’s Fair and left his band while making a pit stop in Evansville. he joined a local band and worked as a street paver to revive his fi-nancial situation. While playing a henderson barbeque with his new band he met his future wife Elizabeth Price. By his own account his time in the Tri-State had an important impact on his life. “It was there [henderson] I realized that experiences I had had, things I had seen and heard could be set down in a kind of mu-sic characteristic of my race. I started thinking about putting my own experience down in that particular type of music,” handy wrote. The festival is packed with tremendous tal-ents this year. The blues acts scheduled in-clude big names such as Shemekia Cope-land, The Tommy Castro Band, and Lil’ Ed and

the Blues Imperials. This event is no doubt a large draw, bringing in people from all over the country as it is one of the largest free mu-sic festivals in the nation. Opening day is one for the taste buds. The “Taste of henderson Barbeque” boasts local teams cooking up any type of barbeque dish that comes to mind. If it can be smoked, glazed, or rubbed it will be available.A blues groove will overwhelm Water Street ev-ery night from Wednesday to Saturday. Audu-bon Mill Park is a perfectly balanced venue to host such an event. It is spacious enough to hold a decent amount of people while fos-tering a certain intimacy with the performers. While enjoying the music and the food there will be many other happenings to anticipate. There will be a Mardi Gras inspired street march, lunch breaks featuring local restau-rants, dance classes, and lectures. Treasurer and Chairman-Elect Rob Toerne responds to the festival through his own experience.

W.C. Handy Fest 2009 –Blues, BBQ & u!



N4U (News4U): What do the blues mean to you?RT (Rob Toerne): This music is like no other music. It gets into your heart, into your soul; you feel it more than just hear it. I realize now that most of my favorite music as a kid was deeply steeped in the blues traditions. That was and still is the music that takes me away from the everyday stresses of life.

N4U: How would you describe the vibe of the event?RT: The vibe of this event changes from day to day and from hour to hour. It is relaxed in the beginning and with each artist the vibe gets more intense. Working its way up until the late night band which brings the crowd to the highest level of intensity you’ll ever see. Our music selection committee, led by Dorin Luck, is very attentive to match the art-ist with the time slot and making sure each band compliments the next. This gives the audience a smooth transition to each level of intensity.

N4U: What is your favorite part of the event?RT: Every minute of every day, every band, song, and note in between. There isn’t a part of the festival that could ever be defined as my favorite, it’s all so great. From the anxiety of the first Saturday before the music starts until after the last band on the last Saturday has left. The committee sits in an empty park breathing a sigh of relief.

N4U: What do you want people who walk away from the event to take with them?RT: I want people to see henderson as a community that embraces its history and the arts. I also want people to recognize hender-son as a community that supports musicians and as an emerging entertainment district.

N4U: What exactly do you do behind the scenes for the event?RT: With all the wonderful people that are part of this festival the role of chair is a very easy job. I guess my biggest role is presiding over our meetings and maintaining organi-zation. I also do fundraising for the festival. Everyone on the committee is very passion-ate about the festival and what it means to henderson.N4U: Can you give me a brief summary of how you got involved with the festival and what attracted you to it?RT: I started volunteering to work the festival when the company I work for, Western Ken-tucky Energy, sponsored Friday nights. After my time slot was done, I helped out in other places. As I got to know the other members of the committee and became more involved I started attending meetings. It just seemed a natural fit to be part of the group that is passionate about blues, preserving it as an art form, and what it does for henderson, Kentucky.

Be sure to check out the Nightlife Guide for a complete listing of shows, times and events.

Power-packed vocalist Shemekia Copeland is among the many artists bringing the rhythm and sweat-soaked blues to Henderson this month.

Center City, Philadelphia was the original center stage for these two brothers born nine years apart. Though it’s hard to imagine now, as it

seems to have played out a bit like a movie script, theirs wasn’t an atypical childhood. years before Kevin Bacon was an award winning mega-star, and older brother Michael was an accomplished composer, they were just two brothers growing up and finding their way in the city of brotherly love.

“My earliest memory of music was what my brother was playing or the music he brought home,” Kevin Ba-con recalls. “I would sit on the steps of our basement

while he was downstairs practicing with our sister, hilda, and their band. So my heroes growing up were all rock ’n’ rollers. I wasn’t really into sports, or even movies. If I could save money, I’d buy an album.” By the time the 1960s were drawing to a close Michael was already a professional musician. he and his band would gig at the city’s famed Electric Factory, the oldest and most celebrated concert venue in Philadelphia, and when younger brother Kevin could tag along he always would. Since then a lot has changed for these talented brothers. No longer practicing in a basement while a pre-teen Kevin sits on the steps watch-ing, Michael Bacon’s re-cent projects include the theme for Bill Moyer’s Journal, African Ameri-can Lives (1 and 2) and Oprah’s Roots by Kuh-nhart Productions, The Jewish Americans, Ma-rie Antoinette, and the upcoming The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer by David Grubin, Berga: Soldiers of Another War by Charles Guggen-heim; that features Lov-erboy and Red Betsy (with Sheldon Mirowitz); King Gimp, the Acad-emy Award Winner in the Short Documentary cat-egory, RFK, and Secret Life of the Brain, the critically acclaimed five hour documentary on PBS by Emmy Award winner David Grubin. Michael won an Emmy for his score for The Kennedys, an Ace Award nomination for his score for The Man Who Loved Sharks, and The BMI Television Music Award and The Chicago International Film Festival Gold Plaque Award for music in LBJ. Shows he has scored have won numerous Emmy Awards and three Academy Awards (The Johnstown Flood, A Time for Justice, and King Gimp). While Michael has been extremely busy it’s not exactly like lil’ bro’ Kevin has been waiting around to take a free ride on his brother’s coat tails. Kevin Bacon’s film credits include Oliver Stone’s JFK, Trapped,

John hughes’ She’s Having a Baby, Criminal Law, The Big Picture, Footloose (which ac-cording to an interview on The View, his kids have never seen), Tremors, Balto, Hollow Man, David Koepp’s Stir of Echoes, the sleeper hit My Dog Skip, Wild Things, Digging In China, Telling Lies In America, Picture Perfect, and Rob Reiner’s A Few Good Men. he also starred in Barry Levinson’s Sleepers with Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro, the award-winning Apollo 13 directed by Ron howard, Murder in the First (my personal favorite for which he was voted Best Actor by The Broadcast Critics Associa-tion and nominated for Best Supporting Actor by The Screen Actors Guild and the London Film Critics Circle), The River Wild (for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe), In the Cut, Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River, (Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Motion Picture), Beauty Shop, Atom Egoyan’s Where the Truth Lies, The Air I Breathe, Death Sentence, Rails and Ties, and the political drama Frost/Nixon, directed by Ron howard and based on the award-winning play, and the hBO film, Taking Chance. he recently wrapped shooting on New York, I Love You, an anthol-ogy of love stories set in NyC. yet with all the individual accomplish-ment under their belts 2009 marked the four-

teenth year of the Bacon Brother’s band. Where they find the time no one knows but these two brothers have gigged non-stop over the years to develop a following and shatter any pos-sible notion that Kevin is just an actor playing at rock star. When you listen to their music you get a sense of where they came from and who these two are as men. With some songs hav-ing an almost “Springsteenesque” honesty and groove their latest LP New Year’s Day offers a collaborative effort between band and brothers that is nothing short of heart felt music for the masses that will put a smile on your face and have you tapping your feet at your desk. “Kevin writes a lot more songs than I do,” Michael says. “While my days are filled with composing instrumental music for film and TV, songs are a more daunting challenge. If I write one or two a year that I like, then I’m hap-py. But Kevin has this amazing gift of turning everyday experiences into universal thoughts that everybody can identify with.” you can catch the brothers perform-ing live at First Concerts on a Barge, on the Riverfront Saturday June 20th at 7:30 p.m., pre-sented by GAGE. Don’t miss it or the degrees of separation between you and Kevin Bacon will be exponentially increased.


‘Tis the season for beer buzzed, mud caked, barefooted

concert going bedlam. Sum-mer music festivals are at full force in the month of June and there is something for all musical tastes. The idea of port-a-johns, swel-tering heat, and guitar solos appeal to a certain group of

people. Take a minute to think if someone you know who fits into this category. Picture that person and try to question if they know how to have a good time. you really can’t. Don’t take the outdoor festival life too lightly. There is sacrifice involved. Indoor plumbing is a rare and costly commodity. heat relief is sparse and often comes from a squirt bottle, super soaker, or a small portable fan. At an outdoor festival the rain is a best friend. Rain dances may occur. Look past these incon-veniences and a musical utopia is revealed. The element of surprise is a constant factor. One minute a woman with nothing but body paint on for a top walks by. Another moment a procession of cowboy hats strolls by directly after an entrancing drum circle, and may-be even a fire dancer or two. Seem a little fantastical? It is. here are some stand outs starting close to home then beyond. Originally formed to celebrate the beginning of summer, the haubstadt Som-merfest is such a good time it is spelled with an “o” instead of a “u.” Also in its 43rd year,

the Sommerfest is a perfect reflection of Ger-man American pride and joviality. The festival is held on the Old haubstadt School grounds Thursday June 18th through Saturday June 20th. The musical talent for each of the three nights is Gonzo’s Toybox who will be playing 8 p.m. to midnight. The festival also includes

a beer garden for a brew fix, carnival rides, and food booths open from 6 p.m. to midnight all three nights. On Saturday there will be a 5k run/walk to work off some of that festi-val food and a parade at 1 p.m. This festival takes off with the “Local Flavor” award. For 43 years Bean Blossom, In-diana has been host to the Bill Monroe Memorial Bluegrass Festival. Eight days of banjo-pickin’ goodness from over 50 dif-ferent artists/groups. Located slightly north east of Bloomington it is the oldest annual bluegrass festival in the world. This festival definitely gets the “Family Choice” award for

its homegrown atmosphere, youth activities, and instrument workshops. Some prevalent acts include Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, The Dan Tyminski Band, and Cadillac Sky. The festival begins on June 13th and runs to June 20th. An eight day pass is available for $150 and a weekend pass is on sale for $75. For more info go to www.bean-blossom.com. For those who are a little bit more country and a little bit more indoor minded there is the CMA Music Festival hosted by LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee. This festi-val wins the “Best Festival If the Only Music you Like Is Country” award. Country’s finest will be on hand so shine up your belt buckle, pull up your bolo, and get ready to get down. Some big names scheduled include Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley, and Brad Paisley. The CMA Music Festival is sched-ule for June 11th-14th. Four day passes range from $78 to $300 and single day tickets are also available. For more info go to www.cmaf-est.com.

Bonna-roo Music and Arts Festival is a three day ad-venture in Man-chester, Tennes-see which sports obscenely large crowds and an obscenely good time. This fes-tival definitely wins the “Most hip” award and the “Environ-mentally Friend-ly” award. Al-ternative, jam, country, funk, rap, folk, bluegrass, and groovetron among any other genre one can think of will be rep-resented. This festival as a whole is a jack of all trades. The headliners are Bruce Spring-steen and the E Street Band and the new re-united (again) jam kings Phish. Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, and Snoop Dogg are other big names scheduled. Manchester will be-come the third largest city in Tennessee June 11-14. Be prepared for any weather event, hygienic event, and most importantly be pre-pared to have your mind blown. Tickets range from $224 to $250 plus fees and camping is a must. For more info visit www.bonnaroo.com.

If you’d like to experience some culture in the tri-state this summer, look no further than the RopeWalk Writer’s Retreat taking place in New harmony, June

7-13. The Retreat is an annual event sponsored by the University of Southern Indiana. This year marks the twenty-first anniversary that a congregation of writers has descended upon the former Utopian site for a week of workshops, hobnobbing with fellow writers, and quiet inspiration in a serene setting. The 2009 Retreat faculty, prominent writers from across the country, includes Marianne Boruch and An-drew hudgins (poetry), Benjamin Percy (fiction), Kyoko

Mori (creative nonfiction), and special guest reader Erin McGraw. Although the workshops are for paying re-treaters only, there are many events open to the public.

Sunday, June 7 at 6 p.m., Andrew hudgins will give the opening reading. hudgins has published six books of poetry and his work has ap-peared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Paris Review. he was a Guggenheim Fellow in 2004 and is currently on the faculty at Ohio State University.

Monday, June 8 at 7 p.m., Erin McGraw will read from her most recent novel, The Seamstress of Hollywood Boulevard. Erin is the recipi-ent of a Pushcart Prize and a National Society of Arts and Letters Career Award. her work has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly, The Southern Review, and Story. She teaches at Ohio State University.

Tuesday, June 9 at 7 p.m., Kyoko Mori will read from her lyrical, intense work. her memoir, The Dream of Wa-ter, describes her journey to make peace with her mother’s suicide. In addition to her non-fiction, Mori also writes fiction and poetry. She is the author of the novels Stone Field and True Arrow and a collection of poetry entitled, Fallout. She teaches at Lesley University.

Wednesday, June 10 at 6 p.m., fiction writer Benjamin Percy will read from his new novel, The Wilding, forthcoming from Graywolf Press. he is the author of two books of stories, Refresh, Refresh and The Language of Elk. his work has been read on National Public Radio and published by Esquire, Men’s Journal, The Paris Review, and Glimmer Train. he is a recipient of a Pushcart Prize and teaches creative writing at Iowa State University.

Friday, June 12 at 6 p.m., Marianne Boruch will give the final reading. She has published six books of po-etry, two essay collections, and has written for The Paris Review, The New Yorker, Po-etry London, and The Yale Review. She has taught in the graduate program at Pur-due University for the past twenty years and occasion-ally teaches at the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers.

All scheduled readings are held at the Atheneum during the evening hours. In addi-tion to the public readings, on Tuesday and Thursday, writ-ers will give a craft lecture. This is a great opportunity for people interested in develop-ing their own writing styles. Lecturers will discuss the skill and technique behind their in-dividual successes and offer suggestions to those want-ing to evolve their own craft. On Tuesday, Mori will lecture at 9:30 a.m., Percy at 10:30 a.m., and McGraw at 1p.m. Thursday, hudgins will speak at 9:30 a.m. and Boruch at 10:30 a.m. On Thursday, edi-tors from national magazines will also host the Literary Press Roundtable where they will answer questions about publishing.

BOURBON BLOG

At some point in time, the Kentucky Derby became a star-studded

event luring everyone from celebrities to those of us sim-ply wanting walks of life to Louisville, Kentucky. For the second year in a row, Bour-

bonBlog.com lives, eats and drinks the Derby cul-ture. Not only for our own pleasure, but also so we can share the stories, celebrity interviews, and the entertainment with you. Now, pour yourself a Mint Julep or an iced mint tea if more appropriate. Before we fi nd ourselves interviewing Food Network's Bobby Flay and Guy Fieri in one day, our Kentucky Derby coverage begins on a much simple but elegant note. We are fl own by private jet from henderson to Louisville for one of the most celebrated aviation shows in this region of the country called “Out of the Blue.” how are private jets for sale and a 1966 Lamborghini on display related to the Kentucky Derby anyway? Out of the Blue happens every year right before Derby. I haven't walked away buying a jet yet. I direct you to BourbonBlog.com to watch the story titled, “Could there be a better night in Louisville.” It is an evening that begins with our friends at Lou-isville Executive Aviation and ends as we party and stay at the 21c Museum hotel. By the way, whether you stay as a guest or not, you can visit 21c any hour of the day for free as it is an amazing museum inside of a beautiful hotel. I often think to myself, “how does bourbon get us invited us to parties and places like these?” It could be because much of cover-age on BourbonBlog.com goes beyond drinking bourbon. We produce videos about Kentucky and what makes the “Americana Spirit” come alive. So to take a moment away from only thinking about consumption, the next story we cover is compe-tition of Mint Juleps held by our friends at Four Roses Bourbon Distillery. Bartenders are infusing mint juleps with cherry pipe tobacco, bacon, apple pie fl avors, and blackberries. Fortunately, not all of that is one Julep. Unfortunately, the bacon bits had sunk to the bottom and surfaced through the straw when I took a sip. The typical Mint Julep is bourbon, simple syrup, mint, and lots of crushed ice. While Mint Juleps are most popular during the Kentucky Derby, they are a sweet treat year around. Food Network host Guy Fieri and The Modern Mixolo-gist Tony Abou-Ganim agree. We meet them both the next morning at the next event we cover.

On the morning before Derby, the Mar-riott Oaks Bourbon Brunch is raising money for home of the Innocents devoted to helping kids in crisis. Guy Fieri is cooking up breakfast and Tony Abou-Ganim is making the cocktails. I sample a Java Julep, basically a Mint Julep with cold cof-fee, ice, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. When I interview Guy, he is as down to Earth in real life as he is on TV. he comments on my Seersucker suit and asks me, “Do I have to wear a tie to the Derby tomorrow?” Guy and I browse some Derby hats that are for sale at this event and auction. Guy tells me about a company that has made a wig within a hat called, “Flairhair.” It looks a lot like Guy's famous spikey bleached hair. If it isn't enough to have one of my fa-vorite Food Networks hosts in the morning, the evening brings us to the globally acclaimed Barn-stable Brown Derby Eve Gala. BourbonBlog.com is standing TV Guide on the red carpet interviewing celebrities one by one as they enter. Barnstable Brown has been called, one of the “top ten parties in the world” and it raises money for The Barn-stable Brown Kentucky Diabetes and Obesity Center. That is why names like Paris hilton, Travis Tritt, Nick and Drew Lachey are right next to us. “Maker's Mark is probably my favorite drink in the world. I'm not just kissing ass because I'm in Louisville,” Nick tells us. After snapping a photo with Nick that looks like he and I are going to start our own boy band, Food Network host and celebrity chef Bobby Flay enters. After asking Bobby a few questions about all the ways he has been enjoying bourbon since visiting Kentucky, he seems to wonder where all the bourbon questions are coming from. “What’s the name of your site?” Bobby inquires. “BourbonBlog.com. We're all about bourbon, fl avor and the South,” I reply. “I love all that. I love that,” smiles Bobby. We love it too and we love sharing. For more stories on the Kentucky Derby, the celebrity Derby galas, and Mint Juleps, watch our videos on BourbonBlog.com. We're adding new recipes, cocktails, and stories every day. In this region of the country, we're always looking for more. So if you have any, drop me a line at [email protected].

After snapping a photo with Nick that looks like he and I are going to start our own boy band, Food Network host and celebrity chef Bobby Flay enters. After asking Bobby a few questions about all the ways he has been enjoying bourbon since visiting Kentucky, he seems to wonder where all the bourbon questions are coming

Bacardi Silver Lemonade(St. Louis, MO)

Amanda: I strongly dislike fruit/malted drinks. That said, this is one I could actually drink. It’s crisp, clean and you don’t feel like you are being assaulted by fruit. Kudos to Bacardi for making a non-plucky sum-

mertime lemonade. here’s a fun idea: get a six pack, 7-Up and frozen limeade. Mix and freeze… adult slushie time!!

Sharon:I’m not too crazy about wine cooler/malt beverages as a whole but I think this one would be great over ice on a hot summer day. The lemon-ade flavor is just right, not too tart and not too sweet.

Nick: This is a total flashback to sneaking Mom’s alcoholic beverages for the family fridge. Flavored beer is one thing but weak lemonade with malt liquor is crossing the line for me. your best bet would

be to mix Sprite, fresh lemonade, and vodka and drink it instead. It would be much more tasty and won’t make your stomach hurt after one drink.

Todd: Okay, Must keep an open mind here, right? Sweet frou-frou drinks can’t all be despi-cable and stomach-churning, can they? This fizzy soft-drink-like “malt beverage” has a lemonade-meets-artificial

corn syrup taste that feels heavy and weird. Nice for a sip, but over the course of a whole bottle, it’s overbearingly sweet and manages to completely obliterate all my taste buds. No, thanks.

Jabez: I am not a fan of wine coolers or premium malt beverages or anything in those kinds of categories. I like Bacardi. I like lemonade but didn’t re-ally care for this drink. I would not put it in the same class

as beer. It had a decent citrus flavor and was OK. It was hard to drink after drinking the previous 3 beers. It did have a refreshing taste to it. This would be a beverage to drink after mowing the lawn and put in a glass with some ice.

Schlafly Summer Lager(St. Louis, MO)

Amanda: The toasted malt really sets this apart from the rest of its class. It finishes very clean. It’s also “bottled with love.” What else could you want?

Sharon: It pours clear yellow with very little head, which is odd because it has a lot of carbon-ation. There’s hardly any smell. It has a weak beginning, middle and end. But that wouldn’t be such a bad thing on a hot summer day.

Nick: Not anything special here. It does include ele-ments that make an excellent summer beer. It is smooth and light but falls short on flavor. There isn’t even a subtle flavor it just tastes diluted. In Schlafly’s defense they are not known for producing good lagers or any other light beer.

Todd: A light, pale lager, this toasty-flavored beer has a nicely-balanced malt/hops combina-tion. I sense a slight citrus zing almost. A good andmellow German-style lager that should please just about anyone, from mainstream consum-ers to craft beer afficionados. Absolutely no problem here.

Jabez: This is a nice gold colored beer with great head. It had a nice malty taste. This is a good thirst quenching summer beer. It is light, crisp and refreshing. A slice of lemon would accent this beer properly.

Goose Island Summertime(Chicago, IL)

Amanda: What we have here is your typical Kolsch style beer. What makes it unique from oth-ers? Its wheat wielding wind wallop! Twenty-

three minutes later and I’m still burping… not recommended for a first date.

Sharon: The color is medium yellow and has a slight floral smell. It has a bold flavor with a clean crisp finish. I would drink this year round; too bad it’s a seasonal.

Nick: What an outstanding first taste. This beer is the culmination of every aspect that makes an excellent summer beer. It is fresh, smooth, and moderately hoppy. The hops are very distinct but the taste doesn’t linger and become too bitter in the aftertaste. This is a solid summer beer.

Todd: Nice. This one’s a golden kolsch (German lager) with a smooth and malty taste at first, and a pleasantly hoppy follow-through. One of the better Goose Islands I’ve had. A smooth and refreshing beer with a complex flavor profile. Quite a treat!

Jabez: This poured a hazy yellow and was similar to the Schlafly. It has great carbonation and had a sweet malty taste with mild citrus smell. It wasn’t as light and crisp as the Schlafly but a pretty good summer time beer.

Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel(Denver, CO)

Amanda: This beer is brewed for the “God of the bar-stool.” Boasting 8.5% alcohol/volume, this is an in-your-face ale that is hard for a weak palette to withstand. With an almost burnt malt taste, it is not by favorite dark ale.

Sharon: Wow! Alcohol content is 8.5%! After popping the cap the foam started to overflow and I didn’t shake it. Medium amber color, slightly

cloudy. you can smell the alcohol and it over powers the flavor of the beer which I think would be good if I could taste it. I think I’d like the beer a lot better with lower alcohol content.

Todd: Flying Dog seldom disappoints. This Bel-gian-style Tripel Ale is a murky gold/amber with a bold and zesty citrus/coriander/spice taste and a dry finish. It’s 8.5%, so expect a kick. Kerberos Tripel is full of rich, full-bodied taste, and is certainly not for beginners. Solid any way youlook at it.

Jabez: It poured nice creamy amber but didn’t foam up much. The carbonation was pretty good almost a little light on the bubbles. It had a fruity flavor to it and a little spicy. It almost had a peppery finish to this beer. This is a very solid beer and I am always a fan of high-er alcohol contents 8.5%.

Kasteel Rouge(Belgium)

Nick: The first taste is bold and flavorful but not over the top. The color is more similar to a red wine than a beer. It has such a substan-tial taste and strong smell but it is surpris-ingly smooth. It might be a little too rich for mass consumption but this ale is well bal-anced and decadent.

Todd: An aroma of rich cherries and maybe some woodiness, very reminiscent of a fine wine, but minus the sulfites. With almost no head upon first pour, this Belgian kriek is sweet and strong (8% ABV), but not at all over-bearing. Very nice for a fruit-infused brew. Kasteel’s Rouge is well-balanced, and a fine beer to sip and enjoy. Tasty and unique!

A fun look at value AND quality driven wines from South America

Brendan ZeBroskiWinery Consultant

Argentina is now famous for their pro-duction of the Malbec grape. Brought from France back in the mid-1800s,

Malbec was a grape that was principally used in Bordeaux as a blending component, but Argentina has been able to produce some truly special Malbecs at very affordable pric-es. Altos hormigas is a great introduction to this grape: soft and fruitforward, with aromas and flavors of red licorice, strawberry and plum. Warm and inviting. On the op-posite side of the spectrum, Trapiche, the oldest producer and most exported wine brand in Argentina, produces a label called Broquel. This is a much darker, bolder, even chewier style of Malbec and is certainly a wine for the more seasoned palate. Known for thriving in cooler climates, Pinot Noir being produced in the Valle of Uco is a great exam-ple of New World Pinot. A second label of renowned producer Bode-gas Salentein, El Portillo produces a Pinot Noir that is the perfect ex-ample of a winery dedicated to making superb wine for everyday consumption at a great price. This wine is lush with ripe fruit, and soft flavors of blackberry, cherries, and subtle spice. Very fun to drink. And for the white lover, just as emblematic as Malbec is for red wines, Torrontes has become the symbol for Argentinian whites. Michel Torino produces a beautiful Torrontes that is stylistically dry, with slightly floral aromas and flavors of white peach and soft citrus that are truly elegant. Chile produces affordable yet incredibly quality driven wines as well. Another grape once traditionally used in French Bordeaux blends, the Carmenere grape is almost now exclusively grown in Chile. Casa Silva carmenere offers bold, rich flavors, a heavy body with a nice spicy finish perfect for the adventourous red drinker. Chile has also made a name for producing everyone’s favor-ite, cabernet sauvignon. With conditions similar to California Coastal regions, Chilean cabs tend to exhibit dark, sensuous, earthy flavors. Vina Montgras Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva is a great example of an outstanding Cab at an incredible value. A full bodied, intense cabernet with flavors of black cherry and currant with a long, supple finish. For the white wine aficionado, Arboleda, a producer in Cas-ablanca Valley, produces a chardonnay that is reflective Casablanca fame. This chardonnay is ripe with tropical fruit flavors, with hints of citrus complemented by a refreshing minerality and a slight creaminess. Rich and complex. The next time you are out looking for a great priced wine and you are unwilling to sacrifice quality, take a look in the South American import selections and I believe you will be pleasantly surprised!

“Tavern.” The word has taken on various mean-ings around both the United States and the rest of the world. To some, it connotes a com-

mon bar, where people come primarily to drink and burn off the vigor provided by their buzz through games of chance and skill, including billiards, darts and the mys-terious game of fi nding a hookup partner. Others match the word with a more refi ned establishment, reminiscent of the English and Irish pubs of lore. Booze is still a central element, but cuisine is more available – I use the word cuisine instead of food, as it relates more to

entrees and appropriate sides than to a platter of fried things and multi-colored dipping sauces. Derived from a Greek word meaning a shed or workshop, a tavern is, essentially more akin to the pubs in the UK: A humble and cozy environment where people generally behave themselves, enjoy a quality of food a step or two above the fried whatnots found in a common bar, and over time develop a sense of camaraderie and friendship. Think Cheers and the episodic salutation “Norm!” That’s a tavern. At least to me. Newburgh’s centrally-located and family-operated State Street Tavern was established in July of 2008 by Tom Nixon as a place of refuge for the thirsty and hungry, and those wanting to soak up some live music to boot. Tom’s family pitches in: matriarch Marie Nixon and daughter Ra-chel Smith each spend a great deal of time talking with customers and making themselves available for the many various and demanding tasks that come along with running a business. Behind the bar, Tom and Marie’s other daughter, Sarah Ward, practices mixology and lends a friendly ear

to customers who’ve bellied themselves up. But since we’re talk-ing about food here, we have to mention Paps (just Paps). From inside the spot-less kitchen, and in an unassuming, yet self-assured manner, Paps does homestyle, feel-good food as a matter of love and habit. With decades of experience amidst the clanging of pots and pans, calls of “order up!” and rush times, Paps’ work appears effortless and breezy – and the result, the plated items, is con-sistently delicious, unpretentious and satisfying.

Now’s the part where I talk about heading to

Newburgh, plunking down my pack of Camels, ordering a Guinness and having my fi ll of some of that pub/tavern food. Or is it? how about breakfast? One better: how about brunch? Get this – I did indeed sidle into a barstool, set my smokes down and order a Mr. Pibb (it was 11 a.m. and even though it was 5 o’clock somewhere, that somewhere was somewhere over the Canary Islands). how about eggs benedict? yep. A toasted just-right English muffi n topped with perfectly poached eggs and a chewy, savory slab of Canadian bacon, all topped with homemade hollandaise sauce. No in-stant mixes here. Paps is adamant about homemade wherever he can

fi nd it, and if it takes a little more time and a lot more work, he’s cool with that. Best eggs benedict I’ve had – better than Spago at the Four Seasons in hawaii. Better than I can make, that’s for sure. have you ever had a break-fast pizza? Do you like sausage, eggs, ham, loads of cheese and sausage gravy? you like pizza, of course. Put all this together and you have a unique, scrumptious, downright hearty break-fast that, when served, could feed two to four people easily. If you’re a little weirded out about breakfast pizza, don’t be. The pizza crust is the perfect foundation for any number of ac-coutrements, and the chance to load one up with toppings other than “the usual” should be relished. That was it. No more food in Dylan. Too stuffed to drive home. Feels good, man. But I’ll be back for lunch; plate lunches are the best way (other than going to grandma’s) to feast on homestyle grub, and State Street Tavern boasts a roster of (all homemade) menu items for lunch that offers something for all tastes, each day of the week: ham and beans on Mon-day, roast beef on Tuesday, meatloaf on Wednesday, a rotating selection of chicken and dumplings and spaghetti on Thursday and salmon patties on Friday. Each entrée comes with the right side items and a soda or tea for only $5.95. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, entrees, killer sandwiches, salads, appetizers galore and more are each and all at State Street Tav-ern, many prepared from family recipes and with the skillful hands of Paps, one of my new favorite people. Thanks to everyone there for the good time and great food. I suggest you head there yourself when you’re hungry or just thirsty. you must be 21 or over to enter and they are a smoking establishment. Like the good old days…

State Street Tavern is located at the junction of State Street and Sharon Road in Newburgh, across from the American Legion. Ring them up at 490-6614. Carryout is available, and weekly live entertainment is offered as well.

Paps has homestyle in a headlock, and he’s not letting go.

Killer sandwiches like this one are just one of the many offerings I’ll be mak-ing a trip back to State Street for.

SOUNDBOARD

THE SMOKE RINGSmyspace.com/thesmokerings

1. The Smoke Rings consider The Beatles one of the most impor-tant bands of all time. The lyrics of The Beatles are much better. Some Stones albums are great, but some aren’t. Everything they have done since the 1978 album Some Girls, has been question-able, at best. Every Beatles album is classic.

2. Led zeppelin, however, The Who is also one of our favorite bands. The Who loses points for trying to go on without their original drummer Keith Moon. zeppelin didn’t go on with a new

drummer after John Bonham’s death, they simply called it quits. Both bands are huge infl uences on us.

3. The Sex Pistols have better titles, are more dangerous, and have a better singer.Also bands like Television, The Talking heads, Devo, Blondie and Big Star were much better musically than the Sex Pistols or The Ramones.

4. David Letterman, and like Axl Rose, Letterman is from Indiana. Plus, we are bigger fans of New york City than Los Angeles.

DASHING SKULL CLUBmyspace.com/dashingskullclub

1. The Beatles win here easily... Rubber Soul... only one crappy song. But Goats Head Soup – if it wasn’t for the song “Angie” that album would be the speaker of the house at every garage sale in the world.

2. The Who or the zep... oh man zep.

3.The Ramones or The Sex Pistols... see response #1 please.

4. It’s simply Leno since Letterman started throwin’ his political views into ev-ery thought that soars through his bean....

MOCK ORANGEmyspace.com/mockorange

1. Beatles, no con-test.

2. Led zep, no contest.

3. Ramones, no contest.

4. Letterman, no contest (David is a hoosier).

AKACIAmyspace.com/akacia & akaciarock.com

1. hands down... The Stones. Not only were they (notice I said “were”) great songwriters, but they are true performers, from the studio to personal lives to rock star lives.

2. That’s a tough one. zep is legend, but my vote has to goes to The Who. In the time of rehashed blues and psycho 60s, The Who brought a fresh version of electrifi ed rock.

3. yea for the Sex Pistols. Attitude and not much for chops, but I like to think they had some smarts about them, not only in music, but street smarts too.

4. Are you serious? Leno! They all have writers anyways. So it’s fair to say Letterman’s writers suck. Leno has the best delivery. Craig Fergu-son... now that’s pure comic genius.


‘SCOPES

1you’re a dirty dancing fiend at the club, pressing your beans and frank to all the ladies on the dance floor. What you interpret to be oooh yeah, break it down daddy, actually was get off me savage, I’m notifying security. This Month: Be sure and call all of those numbers you didn’t get.

2Admiring Bruce Jenner’s handsome looks, you follow suit and opt for copycat cosmetic sur-gery, scheduling your own slice and dice.TM: your face looks like your aunt’s lasagna dish gone wrong.

3Tired of being a thin and skeletal sack-of-bones Jones? Follow in the footsteps of many athletes and hot-cops, and ‘roid up. An occa-sional undeserving dissection of an endocrine system or rash of skull-bashing with your en-hanced mutant body and rage-filled persona can be expected, but certainly won’t overshad-ow the ultimate reward.TM: Better leave the assault weapons at home for now, it’s just the grocery store.

4Rejoice, awful-taste-in-music-fan, Creed is reuniting! Rumors swirl of joining forces with the worst band in the world, Nickelback, for The Super Tour of Suck. Opening acts include a barefoot acoustic set by Robby Takac (The Goo Goo Dolls bass player that insists he can sing but really can’t) and The Spin Doctors’ Chris Barron performing a 33-minute version of “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.”TM: Keep an eye out for the upcoming Immor-tal Gods Tour featuring Coldplay and the heav-enly, U2 – sure to resurrect your faith in music and crucify your eardrums!

5Jury duty calls and you answer, ready to bring the hammer down on the accused and serve up a justice choke-slam. Shouting Oh SNAP! and violently gesturing to your crotch as the guilty verdict is read might not be advisable, however. TM: Why are people shooting at your house?

6Monkeys, monkeys, monkeys, monkeys, mon-keys, monkeys, monkeys. Now that your baby girl has learned to talk, she’s making it well known what she wants.TM: Reason with her (failing, of course) that curi-ous monkeys aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

7Unparalleled pre-teen maturity, towering vo-cabulary and philosophical commentary engulf your annual Dawson’s Creek Youth Lock-In of Southern Indiana. Being the good host and grammar teacher you are, try not to seduce any of your “students.” TM: your life becomes saturated with drama, angst, betrayal and acne.

8Payback is hell in feline terms. Vengeance proves fierce when you’re eradicating a pile of putrid, squishy excrement from your favorite microfiber comforter.TM: Furball’s wrath keeps stinging when you dip into your pocket book for new Ralph Lau-ren bedding.

9The manual instructs two able-bodied adults are required for installation of a window unit air conditioner, not one able-bodied adult and one petite, shaky girlfriend with a slippery grip. Enjoy picking up the remnants of your digital cooling unit once it crashes to the ground.TM: Find another able-bodied adult or inject your girlfriend with the ‘roids.

10Go ahead and dash your dream of seeing Jes-sica Biel do her harlot dancing and pole sliding on the big screen. That bomb is going straight-to-DVD.TM: Blame the cruel world for slighting you.

11An unexpected run-in with an ex turned “lady of the evening” at a local burger joint causes men-acing visual daggers and turbulent strings of ex-pletives, appalling the majority of dining patrons.TM: Tourettes can often be a convenient dis-guise.

12A bizarre love triangle forms between you, your significant other and a close relative. hearts are trampled and someone ends up with a broken broom handle splintered in their chest. The debacle even makes the newspaper, next to the daily meth section!TM: This can be easily explained to grandma at the next family function.

EVANSVILLE MUSEUM CONTEMPORARIES

Generally, artists are renowned for one thing, their art. how-

ever an oft overlooked and unacknowledged group leaves the largest of lega-cies. The art teaching com-munity remains a struggling one. Seldom do you hear of an art teacher who just signed a multi-million dollar, seven student deal. Nor do you hear of the gated ranch

with the 5,000 square foot house and the 8-car garage that the art teacher owns. To be an art teacher, you must have a passion for art, a love of teaching, and a certain sense of self-lessness. Cynthia Watson is all of these. A free-lance art teacher of 15 years, Cynthia primarily built her business by word-of-mouth. As I en-tered her quaint home on Evansville’s south-east side, the space looked just like that of an artist’s. A large contemporary painting hangs

on her living room wall. A 16-count rack of acrylic paint sits atop an end table next to her living room love seat. her microwave serves dual purposes as a food preparation unit and a shelf for her jar of what looks to be 100 fanned and stained paint brushes. Virtually every flat surface teems with artistic necessity. The reason for this is that Cynthia used to teach art out of her home. Last summer she expanded her class to the Evansville Mu-seum for a slough of 1-week art camps, which will be held again this year. More recently, she has begun teaching her class for children and adults at Blick’s Art Supplies. As we sat down to talk, Cynthia’s excitement and passion for teaching revealed how much she cares for her students and loves

her job. She succinctly described what she does as “art from the heart,” and that her job is to help children, as young as 5 years old, to realize the concept of art and to foster their natural, creative abilities.

Before I go further, let me tell you that prior to this meeting I thought of children’s art as primarily yellow suns with mommy and daddy holding hands on a line of green grass. But as Cynthia reached into a box stuffed with imprinted cards, I knew that my preconception would be altogether undone.

I looked through the student’s card box and was astonished by the ability of such a young person. The artist, Grace Poole, must have had 30 different cards with her imprinted work stacked within the box. I hearkened to the hallmark commercials when the recipient of a greeting card would look to the back and check for the trademark; When I saw Grace’s cards, I thought of doing so myself. Grace began with Cynthia when she was 5 and is 7 now. In fact, several of Cynthia’s students are under 10 years old. The subjects chosen by the children reflect the perspective of innocence that only a child’s mind could bring to the canvas. The work is not only impressive, it carries a warm sense of accomplishment for our community and its growing appetite for a local, thriving art community. With people like Cynthia Watson, our community grows richer and our children earn an education which the school system crops out of today’s lesson plan picture.

Cynthia Watson teaches half-day camp at the Evansville Museum. The programs run:June 1-5, June 8-12, and June 15-19; Mon-day – Friday at 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and are open to children between the ages of 6-12 years old. More information available at www.emuseum.org or by calling 812.425.2406.

Cynthia Watson also teaches lessons outside of the Evansville Museum. For more informa-tion, please call 812.484.9459 or 812.479-5759.

ART FROM THE HEART

General Shopping Tips:• Clip or print coupons. I’m proud to whip out my coupons at the checkout counter. you can check your local Sunday news-paper circulars or go online to find cou-pons for your favorite name-brand products. • Check out price per unit. Most grocery stores have price per unit (ounce, pound, etc.) broken down right on the shelf. It makes price comparison shopping easier since not all products are sold in the same size pack-aging. This also helps you decide if buy-ing the bigger box is really a better deal. • Never go to the grocery shopping when you are hungry. The first time I heard this I thought it was a load of BS, but it’s true. you’ll tend to buy junk food that you don’t need. • My favorite cheap staples to keep in the kitchen I always keep eggs in my refrigerator. They’re easy to fry up for a quick sandwich or scramble for a hot breakfast. Eggs are a good source of protein so they keep you full longer. Aldi has eggs for less than a dollar a dozen. There are tons of recipes that in-clude eggs. you can make a casserole with plenty of leftovers or cook one in a bowl of Ramen for some protein with your noodles.

• Bananas are cheap and good for you. They are handy too since you don’t need to wash or cut them. I usually take one to work in my purse as an afternoon snack.

• Frozen veggies: Most stores have frozen veggies for about a dollar a bag. The best

part about having these on hand is that you can throw them into any dish. I usually throw peas or green beans into Tuna helper, no need to thaw, just throw them in frozen when you mix the rest of the ingredients.

• Fresh Spinach: you can get this at grocery stores for a few bucks and it’s already pre-washed. I use it for sal-ads, throw it in scrambled eggs, and even use it on sandwiches instead of lettuce. It can also be used like frozen veggies, just toss it in when making casseroles. Be sure to use more than you think, it will shrink up.

• Cereal and milk: As long as you stay away from the sugar-coated puffy cereal, it can actu-ally make a filling meal. Look for whole grains on the ingredients when buying cereal.. For the most filling, it should be listed as the first ingre-dient, also look for fiber on the nutrition facts. Don’t forget to drink the milk, waste not want not.

• Condensed soups: Cream of chicken and mushroom soups both make a nice sauce for casseroles. They cost about a dollar each, but it is a lot less hassle than making gravy from scratch. Bake thawed chicken covered with a can of condensed soup and a few frozen veg-gies and you’ve got yourself a nice hearty meal.

• Bread: I always keep a loaf of bread at home. you can even stock up when it is on sale and

freeze the other loaf. Just make sure most of the air is out of the bag before tossing it in the freezer. Lewis Bakeries Thrift Store (500 N Fulton Ave.) has awesome deals on bread products. Tues-day is buy one get one free day. Any day of the week you can get name brand bread (healthy Life, Bunny Bread, etc.) for less than a dollar a loaf. It may be close to the “best by” date but it is usually good well after the date has passed.

• I always keep a bag of frozen chicken breasts in my freezer. They can be kind of expensive up front, but if you use one or two at a time, they will last for a few meals. One of my favorite meals is lemon pepper chicken. Just thaw some chicken breasts, coat with lemon pepper and bake in a greased pan for 30 min at 350 degree or until inside is not longer pink. you can whip up some instant mashed potatoes and thaw some frozen veggies for a well-rounded meal. My food philosophy: If it doesn’t fit into one of the food groups, it doesn’t belong in your grocery cart (chips, soft drinks, candy, etc.). My only exception is beer... it’s a grain right?

Remember Jeff Smith, “The Frugal Gourmet?” You can be one, too…

Enjoy cooking but hate paying for expensive in-gredients? here are a few tips to cook for less. Shop at the farmer’s market and local food stands. Prices are

usually cheaper than the store and food is locally grown and fresher. The food travels less distance so it is good for the environment, not to mention you are supporting local farmers. Sometimes you can even haggle with local vendors since they are their own bosses.

Check it out: Every Friday there is a farmer’s market down-town at the corner of 2nd Street and Sycamore Street.

If you’d rather stick to grocery stores, shop at Aldi (westside 214 S. Rosenberger and eastside 6434 Oak Grove Road). If you haven’t dropped into an Aldi you are missing out on awesome sav-

ings. Just be prepared to “rent” a cart for a $.25 deposit and bring your own grocery bags or pay for paper or plastic. The stores are no frills but the prices are awesome! Every time I’ve been at an Aldi, their fruit is perfect and tastes awesome! The best part about Aldi is they have a double guarantee on every product. If you don’t like it you get your money back and they will replace the product as well. Most of their suppliers are also companies that make name-brand products so you are still getting quality food, just in a different package. If you go, make sure to have a debit card or cash, they do not accept credit cards or checks. Visit www.aldifoods.com to learn more about Aldi.

make up your mind aBout tHe Flip-Flops

I’m fashion and beauty junkie. While my friends were reading Teen I was reading In Style. When watching TV I was hooked on watching the Style Channel back when they still did live feeds of the runway shows in New york City. I’ve longed to own Smash-box eyeliner, and Christian Dior’s airbrush foundation since I was 14. These things were hard to come by, unless you took a trip

to Indianapolis and visited the local Nordstrom department store. Then came European beauty store Sephora. One can’t even walk past the newest addition to Eastland Mall, without being lured into its bright store. Wall to wall beauty and fragrance, its collection of high end products doesn’t always carry a high end price. here you can find your Clinique products, then walk over and get the latest Gucci fragrance. If you have any questions, there are a plethora of lovely ladies who can give you on the spot lessons for all their products. So, next time you’re in the need of a beauty pick me up, don’t walk all over the mall looking for all the products you need. Just check out Sephora, and you’ll be taken care of!

Finally it’s June! Summer is in full swing, and all the footwear we’ve ever purchased takes a backseat to one item: the flip flop. Now, while your Old Navy flip flop is great for hanging around the pool, have you ever tried to wear them in one summer and still think they’re comfortable? Do your feet ever hurt, and you can’t figure out why? Unless you’d like expensive visits a podiatrist in your future, spend your money now on any of these flip flops.

For a number of years, News 4U’s Kid’s Page has been penned by a mom. The roster of maternal contributors has included young women new to

the rigors of parenthood, seasoned pros whose skills and achievements would make June Cleaver embar-rassed and a person who’d never so much as held a doll, let alone a child.

Now, however, it’s time for a dad to step up and do this. One of the results of the ongoing sexual revolu-tion is that I, a grown man with a toddler boy, can

comfortably change a diaper as easily as my forefathers could change a flat tire (I can do that, too). And so now, rather than wax on about feminist pioneers being careful what they wish for, let’s offer some stuff to do this month:

First though, after conducting an unscientific poll (I asked around, okay), a consensus of sorts has been reached. Moms like to PLAN their forays. They like to know WhERE, WhEN and hOW MANy WILL BE ATTEND-ING. Dads toss their youngins in the truck and cruise around the river bottoms to find the per-fect skipping stone and a cool-looking piece of driftwood. We’ll regale our wide-eyed offspring with tales of muddy adventures under the bridge on a moonless night in October as we give the courteous index finger wave to approaching vehicles. Everyone knows each other in the river bottoms, whether you’ve ever been there before or not. None of this is to say that moms won’t or can’t do these things, but dads are more apt to (see the reference to the enormously invalid-in-an-academic-paper poll above). So before you send an angry email about how you’re a mother and you’re happier hunting morels with your kids than going to some formal event, consider that I’ve con-sidered that. Just so we know where we stand. So again, like I said, here are some WhATS, WhOS, WhERES and WhENS:

The acoustic duo Daddy will be grac-ing Evansville’s

“Art Out Loud” at The J.E. Smith Gallery on June 26th. The duo, comprised of Tommy Womack and Will Kimbrough, is two/fifths of the band’s complete line up. I had an opportunity to speak to Tommy and hear

a little bit about what we could expect, “The band – that’s an experience, but me and Will are an experience together too. We’ve been playing guitar together for so long that we’ll make you feel like there’s a drummer going when there’s not. We still play rock-n-roll even though it’s poured into a folk-Americana container. you dump out that container and it’s rock-n-roll even though it’s acoustic guitars.” To say that Tommy’s been play-ing for years is putting it mildly. From 1985 through 1992 he was in Government Cheese, a band that sparked his first novel and cult classic The Cheese Chronicles. The bis-quits was Tommy’s follow up band from 1992 through 1994. Since then, well, Tommy puts it like this: “The main band in Nashville and some other towns: Me, gui-tar and vocals, Paul Slivka, bass and vo-cals, Fenner Castner, drums and vocals, Lisa Gray, vocals and acoustic guitar. But I'm a man of many bands in many cities. In Birmingham, Alabama, I play with Jay Johnson and Tommy Prewitt. In St. Louis I've played with a band and one of the guys name is John and that's all I remember other than it was a great gig. “In Iowa I used David zollo and a great drummer who's another name that escapes me, but it was a great gig. In Eng-land, my band is Paddy Bradley, drums, Dougie Robertson, bass and John Barker, guitar. In New york I've used Will Rigby, drums, Mark Spencer on guitar and Scott yoder on bass among others. In St. Paul one night Slim Dunlap of the Replacements was my backing band. In Italy one tour it was Enrico Catena, drums, Max D'Lago on bass and Elisabeth Cutler on guitar. I've literally walked onstage and met my musi-cians for that night right there on the stage. you'd think it's a recipe for disaster but I seem to have a knack for it. It's rock and roll, it ain't brain surgery. It always turns out

great. The trick is to hold your guitar where the bass player can see what the chords are and lead the drummer with your ass, which in my case there ain't much ass to shake but I do my best with what I've got.” Since there were so many bands and so many musicians I asked Tommy to try and put his music in a genre for me and his response was this, “God made me a writer, I made myself a musician. Labels are just labels; there are only two kinds of music – good and bad.” Assuming Tommy would put himself in the former of the two categories I said as much. Tommy simply said, “I’m a troubadour. I just did 12 days of long-ass distances playing for piddling size audiences and they all got great shows. I give it all I got because it’s my moral obligation to my son for denying him a day with his dad. What’s my point? Oh yeah, I’m a troubadour.” Daddy will be releasing their sec-ond album on June 16th. As for Tommy, well, troubadour, author, musician or father, if he is half as entertaining to watch (and I’m betting he is) as he is to talk to then this town’s in for a helluva good time.

In a season of getting outside, and stretching those dormant winter and spring tendons it is only appro-priate to hold events beneficial to the community.

Two events will be held this month helping the look of the city itself and the less fortunate who live in it. Or-ganizations and individuals such as Anheuser-Busch, Bank of Evansville, Vectren, Echo Community health Care and many others have jumped to make these two happenings possible. They have come together to give the people of Evansville an opportunity to help solve these issues as a whole. The homeward Bound 5k Fundraising Walk-A-Thon tackles the hot-button issues of the local home-

less population and the local shortage of affordable housing. It will combat this issue directly by providing extra funds through individually sponsored runners. Each runner will recruit personal sponsors to ob-tain pledges and will be given incentives to do so. More specifically their name entered into a drawing of several significant prizes. A walk is some-thing achievable for most. It allows for socializing and most importantly working to give someone a home. All funds raised will be distributed to local organizations such as Aurora and Ruth’s Place who cater specifi-cally to the homeless. The walk is scheduled for June 13th, registration starts at 8 a.m. and the step off is a 9 a.m. Upon finishing the race awards will be given and entertainment provided by Night Moves and the Bobby Clark Band. For more info visit www.homewardboundindiana.org. Keep Evansville Beautiful and Anheuser-Busch are teaming up with Peabody Energy, Regent Communications and Southcentral Ra-dio Group for the Recycling on the River project. It will be an ongoing ef-fort throughout the summer to cut down on the waste and litter along the river and Evansville’s various inland waterways. 3,000 boating recycling bags will be distributed to fisherman and boaters, for all the garbage they collect temporary containers will be placed at three sites for them to drop their bags. These three sites are Angel Mounds, Dogtown, and Evansville boat ramps. The counties in which most of the attention will be given are Warrick, Vanderburgh, Posey, and Gibson, and two major bodies of water in the most need are the Ohio River and Pigeon Creek. Another vital goal of the project is to prevent this waste from entering into the watershed. If one of these bags is unattainable Keep Evansville Beautiful encourages people to do whatever they can to help. For more info please visit www.keepevansvillebeautiful.org.

Recycling on the River and homewardBound walk



OK Evansville, I know you are a city that

likes to know what's blowing onto your turf. Well I want to give you the 411 on a hot southern coun-try/rock band blowing into Woody's on June 17, Cross Canadian Ragweed.

First of all, no, they are not Canadian. No, they have nothing to do with botanicals from the sunflower fam-ily that cause severe allergies. Not that there's anything wrong with those char-acteristics. Cross Canadian Ragweed's name is derived from a combination of the last name of the band members (Grady Cross (Rhythm Guitar), Cody Canada (Frontman & Lead Guitar), Randy Ragsdale (Drums) and Matt Wiedemann (who is actually no longer with the band & was replaced with Jer-emy Plato (Bass Guitar), all boys from the State of Oklahoma. They are really charming last names but they make for a very long, curious band name to say the least. These guys started their band in 1994 in the bedroom of one of the guys, later graduating to his dad's living room and re-leasing their first album in 1998. They have re-corded a total of six well-received CDs, receiv-ing critical acclaim for their 2007 CD release titled Mission California, which they spent only 25 days recording. you have to take only a few moments to pull up their stuff on itunes or you-Tube. Songs like “Cry Loney,” "Constantly,” a crowd pleasing "In Oklahoma" and a slamming "Record Exec" are tunes that will get stuck in your head and you will hum 'em all day at work. If you don't give this band a thumbs up then you must enjoy watching paint dry. This is a hard working Southern Tex-as Style Country band that looks good, sounds good and makes you feel good with their down-home country boy charm. They graced our city about three years ago when they opened up for the great George Thorogood & the Destroy-ers. Many country artists such as Dierks Bent-ley have had CC Ragweed open for them and have fallen in love with them. This band has paid their dues and been hitting the circuits very hard for over a decade and I am certain they are on the brink of superstardom (i.e.: Black Stone Cherry). CC Ragweed played a lot of Skynyrd in their days and I think they defi-nitely have a more southern rock feel akin to

Lynyrd Skynyrd than a southern country feel. CC Ragweed's music has been compared to Steve Earle (Copperhead Road) however; I would tend to characterize them in more of a category of early stuff by supergreats The Ea-gles. After you check them out on itunes and youTube check out their website crossca-nadianragweed.com. you will see they have several pet projects that they support and to me that shows they are Okies with big hearts. They are loyal to their fans and friends and produce genuine, solid music. If you are already a seasoned CC Ragweed fan (congrats) then you might have roadtripped to St. Louis on May 23rd to watch their performance at The Pageant, which in my opinion is ThE hottest venue for any mu-sician to perform. Any performer gracing the stage of The Pageant has definitely achieved musical notoriety. Their performance at The Pageant will therefore indicate to us that these guys have made it. Note to self: open a fan-tastic theatre like The Pageant in Evansville. Once you start listening to these guys I'm certain you will not want to skip the show. Don't miss your chance to see them before they are too big to remember where Evansville is. Get your tickets early because this is going to be huge! you can get your tick-ets at Woody's or online at wkdq.com for only $15.

SORE THUMBS

TasterEinhändEr – PSXThe developer Square is best known for their RPGs, but they also created a great shmup

called Einhänder. The story is actually fleshed out like you might expect from a Square game, but who plays shmups for the story?What you really want is to be shoot-ing things constantly,

and on that, Einhänder delivers. The key game-play mechanic is that you can grab gun pods off of enemies after they blow up. you can then align these weapons above or below you, allow-ing for different shot angles.Einhänder combined nice visuals, fast action, interesting bosses, and great music and sound to become one of the best shooters on the Play-station and of all time.

Average Online Price: $50.00

dEmon Sword – NESLong before games such as Assassin’s Creed or Crackdown had you flying through the air with the greatest of ease, Demon Sword was doing it in 8-bit style. The spiritual successor

to the less-forgiving Legend of Kage, Demon Sword tasks you with finding all six parts of your demon-slaying sword, which have been scat-tered throughout the world.The opening level is actually my favorite part of the whole game. Rows of towering bamboo trees let you leap huge distances all while swat-ting skeletons out of the sky. At a time when people were used to a modest hop from their on-screen heroes, Demon Sword instead of-fered liberating movement and abilities. I’m pretty sure it was the box art that scared people away from this game.


Toy CommandEr – DCThe ultimate in laziness, Toy Commander is an acceptable way for you to play with toys, requir-ing only your thumbs to do the heavy lifting. you could pilot toy planes, boats, cars, and even a snail around various locations in your house.Common household items become tools or traps as you’re tasked with everything from sinking submarines with pencil missiles to boil-ing eggs in a pot of water. Wanna play in the litter box? Go for it! Need to see where the pipe in the bathroom sink goes? yeah, you can do that too! When you’re done exploring on your own, invite your friends over to play with toys in split-screen multiplayer. Toy Commander is a very fun and imaginative game with surpris-ing depth.


noby noby boy – PS3(PLAySTATION STORE)

This is a weird one. you play as “Boy,” who seems to resemble a segment of rainbow-col-ored intestine with legs and a face. your quest is to ingest anything you see, allowing you to grow longer. your length, along with all the lengths of all other players in the world, is then reported to “Girl.” She then grows longer until a new planet/new level is discovered. Of course, what goes in must come out. Eat more than you can hold, and you’ll hear a lovely “pernt” as an incoming item pushes an-other out of your backend. Stretch yourself too far and you risk splitting in half, forcing you to then eat your own ass to reconnect your halves. People will stare in amazement or ride on your back just long enough for you to eat them. Levels are created at random, and you can make new items from combinations of things you’ve digested. For example, say you’ve

just eaten a group of safari explorers (stay with me), then you eat some bananas. After you, ahem, expel these items, they may just come back as safari banana-men. While somewhat repetitive, the experience is all up to you and it’s definitely worth trying out for $5.

Online Price (Playstation Store): $5.00

SnipEr EliTE – XBOX/PS2/PCW i t h o u t a doubt, Sniper Elite is one of my favorite games. Set in war-torn Berlin, you play as an OSS sniper in WWII. O bv i o u s l y, gameplay is

focused on staying hidden and delivering the one fatal shot needed to take out an enemy, then moving on before your position is given away. you are able to use diversions such as the noise of an incoming explosion to mask the sound of your shot and stay concealed. The AI can be a little too accurate from two blocks away with a machine gun at times, but you just have to be better than them.One great feature is the slow-motion bullet cam that kicks in when you fire that perfect shot. Watch the devastation of your bullet as you fol-low its course up to and through your enemy with gory wonderfulness (I’m talking skull frag-ments). Think you’re a good shot? Try taking out a tank by shooting the gas tank cap or eliminat-ing three enemies with one bullet! If you don’t like being a lone-wolf, have a friend join you in the fantastic split-screen coop mode. Sniper Elite would be the game coming with me to that desert island you always hear about.

CD REVIEWSyeah yeah yeahsIt’s Blitz! (Interscope/DGC)

Never having been converted to the yeah yeah yeahs 80’s pop-meets-NyC garage punk aes-thetic, I approached this one with trepidation. But alas, this album shows a fresh new sound for the band, while not neglecting their roots too far. Embracing an 80’s dance-punk hybrid, the yeah yeah yeahs have created a superb pop album that could easily be their finest work to date. Leading off

the album is the single, “zero”, which pulses like Blondie or Missing Persons in their prime disco phase, with a mildly psychedelic tinge. Nice song, instantly catchy, and a little bit dangerous, as Karen O’s sensual, swaggering vocals carry the song’s hypnotic drive. She’s not the best vocalist around, but on this album she manages to convey in-

nocence and danger just enough to convince. “Skeletons” is another gem, with a majestic build that makes for an almost epic feel and a flighty minor-key melody. “Dragon Queen” steps way back to the 80’s, with a plastic dance vibe (old drum machines, elementary electronic programming). It’s carried by O’s streetwise little girl vocals, but other-wise remains quite forgettable. “hysteric” is a moodier, floaty number that works far better, and along with the stripped-down closer, “Little Shadow”, proves the yyys to be a multi-faceted band that can have fun with their music, yet create some outstandingly catchy pop tunes with substance. Enjoyable.

mxpxOn the Cover II(Tooth and Nail Records)

Pop-punk royalty, the boys of MxPx are back for another go at some quirky and classic covers. Mike herrera and yuri Ruley are the main-stays of the group, while their original guitarist Andy husted was re-placed by Tom Wisniewski. Regardless of the group dynamic they have kept with their bright, fast and catchy brand of pop-punk as-


saulting the ears of anyone who will listen. Since 1993 MxPx has released seven stu-dio albums with one cover album. Their new release On the Cover II is their most recent venture. MxPx is basically juvenile antics ground into a fine powder, mixed with gun-powder then ignited. “Suburban home” starts out in a breakneck, buzzed guitar riff with precise drumming that is just as quick. Throughout the song the rhythm is punctuated with abrupt stops and starts that leave you with a case of whiplash. “(I’m Gonna Be) 500 Miles” is an original by the Proclaimers and with edgier vocals MxPx executes it with ease. “My Brain is hanging Upside Down” by the Ramones is a song that could have been specifically made for MxPx. Mikes vocals are infectious, the guitar is bare-bones and the drums are spot on with well timed splash cymbals. A decent pick if you enjoy MxPx or pop-punk and the bands talent is apparent but it is still a cover album.

Spring CreekWay Up on a Mountain(Rebel Records)

Appalachian style is living in the Rockies. Colorado boasts a foursome of string freaks premiering their first non-independent album. Spring is truly a group of rocky grass all stars. They exhibit extensive range in vocals and rhythm. Their instrumentation can be uplift-ing, bittersweet, lonesome or joyous. Even the lyrical side of Spring Creek is fresh and original which is difficult in the genre. This al-bum makes clear why this group won com-petitions at the Telluride and Rocky Grass Festivals. As the contemporary bluegrass wave resonates across the country this band is definitely a leader in that charge. The first track “My Love is Way Up on a Mountain” is a complete portrayal of an

outstanding track. The chorus is catchy and full of yearning. The instruments mesh into a single flowing entity of flawless rhythm and sharp sound. “Another Lonesome Night my Dear” is sung by Jessica Smith the bands bass player. her mellow and elated voice perfectly matches the melancholy vibe of the track. “Try and Catch the Wind” is unrefined energy. The banjo work is breathtaking and the lyrics are strong. “It’s Alright My Darlin’” is a traditional track with tasty guitar slides and a warm tone. Spring Creek is a fine brand of ‘grass.

eclecticaStreaming Video Soul (ArtistShare)

Behind the horrifying Sgt. Pepper-style cover art lurks a selection of indulgent, hammy, jammy funk/prog/pop tunes that sail full-steam ahead in a sea of vapidity and day-glo tacki-ness. And that’s just the first song! “Stream-ing Video Soul” manages to name-drop ‘i-chat’ and ‘myspace’ in a shallow and shameful at-tempt to seem relevant. The group’s electric violin is a nice touch, but on the whole this set of tunes is far too self-consciously pretentious and directionless. It’s like Prince spawned with Phish, with, well, pretty messy results. I salute the guys’ not wanting to fit in to a particular niche, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is really hard to sit through.

palefaceThe Show is on the Road(Ramseur Records)

Paleface is no stranger to the stigma of rock and roll. Paleface on acoustic guitar has been in and around music performance since 1990. Apparently he is so cool his real name is not listed on the new album. he is flanked by a very pretty drummer named Monica Samalot. This album is a fusion of blues/folk/ but the bottom line is that Paleface doesn’t have the lyrical depth and musical charisma to balance his flat vocals. My recommendation would be Samalot sing because a female voice would work so much better with their sound. The title track “The Show is on the Road” has an upbeat, eccentric tone but Paleface’s vocals in the chorus topples the energy of the song. “New york, New york” has a shifty, melancholy sound and the chorus catchy but the verses are drab and shallow at best. “A Cheatin’ Song” has an infectious beat and smooth guitar composition but again the vocals don’t cut it and the lyrics are too repeti-tive. “If Only I” is one of the best songs on the album vocally because Samalot sings about half of it but the lyrics in this song are suf-ferable. This band has talent but they clearly need a vocal and lyrical overhaul.

DaddyFor A Second Time (Cedar Street Records)

Now, this is a refreshingly warm and famil-iar sound, as the Nashville duo of Will Kim-brough and Tommy Womack (collectively Daddy) create some mighty fine classic folk/rock/Americana with country and blues ac-cents. “Nobody From Nowhere” is a rootsy


rock track with a laid-back vibe and master-ful pop hooks, and therefore is well-chosen as the album’s lead-in. But Kimbrough and Womack deliver well throughout this solid and enjoyable album. They bring in some goofiness on the old-school country lament of “I Want To Be Clean”, while “Redemption Is The Mother’s Only Son” is a more seri-ous, low-key, and reflective lament. “Love In A Bottle” has a well-worn swagger that’s fun, catchy, and just feels, well, real. But it’s not all sincere and convincing -- “I Went To heaven In A Dream Last Night” reminds me of those awful free credit report commercials. Meh. Nonetheless, that aside, fans of anyone from Dylan to Wilco will find plenty to like about Daddy.

Rachel Taylor BrownSusan Storm’s Ugly Sister and other Saints and Superheroes(Cutthroat Pop Records)cdbaby.com/cd/rtbrown4

This is mood music pertaining to extraordinary beings. Being a fan or both saints and super-heroes I thoroughly enjoy the concept behind this album and the offbeat stories within the lyrics of the tracks. Rachel Taylor Brown has a quirky, epic musicality that immediately sparks interest. Brown is also quite capable on the piano and emotionally rich in tone and vocals. Due to the previous statements the novelty of the album is balanced by its lyrical content and Brown’s vocal and tone. This is Brown’s sixth album and it is obvious by this CD she has tweaked and polished her product.

“Susan Storm’s Ugly Sister” is a trance-like track with haunting keys and vocals with strategically placed climactic screams. “Lonely Galactus, The World Eater” boasts a steady, minor piano progression with vocals in which the listener can feel the sorrow and passion of the creature Galac-tus. “Bruce Wayne’s Bastard Son” is a chant/march of a song that makes Superman sound like a real asshole. A strange and interesting picture helped along with Brown’s hallowed vocals. “St. Fina” is a standout on this album. It transcends genre and contains such an ee-rie passion. Brown has a style all her own.

Samantha Crain and themidnight ShiversSongs In The Night (Ramseur Records)

Lovely and slightly freaky Americana folk vibes from Oklahoma, with Crain’s unique vocals recalling kindred souls like Joanna Newsom or Bjork , but placed more within a straightforward songwriting foundation (and certainly not as ‘flighty’ as those comparisons might imply). Production by Danny Kadar (My Morning Jacket, Grizzly Bear) is sympathetic -- keeping a clear and honest vibe that allows

all the instruments and Crain’s almost-ghost-ly vocals to shine through. There are some strong songs here, to be certain. Take “Scis-sor Tales,” with its almost Western shuffle and narrative construction. Crain is a skilled wordsmith, and her band never steals the limelight, adding color and subtlety in all the right places. Songs in the Night is a perfectly fine album of mature tunes from a band who have a boatload of potential. I’m impressed.

Tower of powerGreat American Soulbook (TOP Records)

Wow. This venerable funk outfit (they’ve been at it since the 70’s funk/horn heyday) really gives their all on this homage to classic soul. TOP opens it all with the Stevie Wonder-in-spired (okay, it’s a carbon-copy) “you Met your Match.” They bring in the immortal Tom Jones for a cover of Isaac hayes’ “I Thank you” -- not bad, but ultimately forgettable. Nu-soul belter Joss Stone fronts “It Takes Two,” which is so glossy/antiseptic that it seems almost like a joke, somehow, and that’s a highlight here. I shouldn’t even mention the presence of huey Lewis later in the album, but somehow I feel you should know. yeah, it’s like that. The other tunes here, which include covers of folks like Aretha, Bill Withers, Mar-vin Gaye, James Brown, and Otis Redding, don’t so much reinterpret the songs as rec-reate them. The trouble is, TOP don’t bring much of their own thing to the table. It’s most-ly a slick, by-the-numbers rehash of those classic soul/disco tunes that paved the way for modern day R&B. Where’s the depth, and the grittiness that makes this kinda music so

CD REVIEWS


refreshing? Great American Soulbook would be great for a cheesy 70’s theme party, but otherwise, leave this one behind.

Kate mannThings Look Different When The SunGoes Down (Orange Dress Records)

hailing from the faraway Southwest (New Mexico, specifi cally), folksy singer/songwriter Mann has a profound connection to Native American culture and the dusty American landscapes of her upbringing. her songs are often lonely, introspective and personal looks at life, relationships, and spirituality, as seen through the eyes of an old soul who’s experi-enced both highs and lows (or so it seems). “Things Look Different” is a lovely set of brisk Americana sounds that range from fl amen-co (“La Llorona”) to plaintive ballads (“here Again”); from alt.country shuffl es (“Funny Thing”) to songs for her beloved dog (the sweet “Loki’s Lullaby”). her voice is as gentle or commanding as it needs to be, and her band’s instrumentation (with cello, fi ddle, and saw, as well as piano, accordion, and more) are like swathes of color amidst Kate’s acous-tic guitar and charmingly warm vocals. Kate Mann is the real thing, and here’s to hoping she gets some notice with this fi ne CD of earthy, free-thinking independent music.

J.G. ThirlwellThe Venture Brothers - The Music OfJ.G. Thirlwell (Williams Street)

It’s kind of refreshing to see an uber-talented composer like Thirlwell getting some major

exposure scoring this Adult Swim animated series. What some fans may not know is that he’s been active for 30-ish years, recording weird industrial big-band bombast as Foe-tus and/or Steroid Maximus. Regardless of his past, this set of tunes from the several seasons of the ‘Venture Brothers’ series runs the gamut from feisty space-age lounge to tribal jungle swagger to swingin’ hard-boiled spy thrillers (“Tuff”) to tense classical (“13 BigMon/Boys As Transformers”). Thirlwell’s been duly inspired by the music of Carl Stall-ing (think the original ‘Looney Tunes’), as well as some far-out avant garde noise, so expect a lively, upbeat, and intensely visual set of tunes that bumps and grinds like Quentin Tarantino caught in a go-go bar after ingest-ing far too much peyote. “Node Wrestling” is packed with gyrating funk -- and is almost humorous, it’s so over the top. “Damion” is a dark little gem worthy of a Tim Burton fi lm. The charmingly-titled “Assclamp!” is a fren-zied bit of drum-and-bass techno with dra-matic strings and brass. “Warped Carousel” is just that - a scary surreal carnival trip. I could go on and on. Suffi ce to say, this is a wildly diverse album with more thrills and chills than a rollercoaster. Wow.

hard to find Three Years Later(Consolidated Productions)

Tri-State trio hard to fi nd (the band prefers the all-lowercase spelling of their name, thank you) contain alums from area bands such as Pre-DeLorean Doc Browns and Tragic heroine, to name a couple. And before giving their fi ve-track debut EP a spin, I was told to expect “Sonic youth, a little Pixies” for some reference sounds. So armed with that info, and considering the history of the band members – David Davis (guitar, vocals), Joe

Vowels (bass) and Matt Kolb (drums) – I felt I had a pretty good idea of what to expect: dynamic, well-orchestrated tunes with a pop sensibility combined with a healthy dose of organic, off-the-cuff-sounding arrangements and not-so-subtle glimpses of near-orgiastic noise. But the band’s level of maturity ex-ceeded my expectations. Not to say that the members of hard to fi nd were necessarily immature in their previous efforts, but con-sidering the above-mentioned bands were on-again, off-again mainstays of the all-ages scene, I couldn’t help but have a precon-ceived bias about the guys’ newest effort. I was wrong about that. Three years Later does indeed give off distinctive fl avors of the quiet/loud/quiet found with Black Francis’ band, and the arrange-ments are, by and large, pop in nature. But the playing here – from the groovy riffi ng from Davis to the steely backbone provided by Vowels and Kolb – is quite polished and a studied result of three guys who bring a distinctive vibe to what are, in essence, fi ve simple, fun, and mostly upbeat songs. One nifty sur-prise was hearing tinges of Mark Bolan’s voice in Davis’ singing, and any-thing remotely like T-Rex is a winner in my book. Check out the band at myspace.com/biggspower.

JuNe 5Thland of the lost (Universal)

“Open the door! Get on the floor! Everybody walk the dinosaur!” When I was kid I loved Land of the Lost. yes, it was cheesy as hell, but I craved it, yearned for it, wanted to marry it! Finally, in 2009, Land is hitting the big screen and, normally, I would be looking forward to it. The reason I’m not totally sold can be summed up in two regrettable, hard-to-mutter words . . . Will Ferrell! Naturally, the original plot of the old television show is somewhere in the Land of the Lost. In the big-screen

version, Ferrell isn’t a father of two who ends up in this prehistoric land. Instead, he’s a scientist who gets sucked into a time warp with a research assistant (Anna Friel of Pushing Daisies fame) and survivalist (Danny McBride). One key character the series and the movie DO share is Cha-ka, the friendly primate. Of course, we all know who the real monkey of this film will be and he will likely drive me bananas! I can hear the chants in my head now . . . “Boom! Boom! Acka-lacka lacka boom!”

JuNe 12ThThe Taking of pelham 123 (Sony Pictures)If this sounds familiar, there’s a simple reason why. Director Tony Scott’s (Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, Man on Fire, Déjà Vu) new movie is a remake of a 1974 thriller starring Walter Matthau. Taking over the role of Lt. Garber is Tony Scott’s go-to leading man, Denzel Washington, who suits up to negotiate with Ryder, a loony bird who hijacks an underground passenger train in New york City’s subway system. Playing Ryder is John Travolta. And suddenly, Pelham 123 hits the skids. While playing a thug in Pulp Fiction actually rejuvenated his career, Travolta’s portrayals of

criminals since that film have nearly derailed (pardon the pun) it. Do-mestic Disturbance, anyone? Swordfish, anyone? Battlefield Earth, anyone? Join me in jumping in front of a moving Pelham 123, anyone?

JuNe 12ThFood, inc. (Magnolia)This is what my Screening Room cohort Dave Spencer calls “counter pro-gramming” to the summer movie season. In fact, this particular piece of programming is so counter, you likely won’t get the chance to see it until it hits the New Release section at Netflix. In Food, Inc., documentarian Robert Kenner takes us inside the nation‘s “factory farms,” where major food conglomerates allegedly prefer efficiency to food safety. Kenner also discusses new strains of E. coli that are linked to genetically-engineered products. While I find movies like Food, Inc. informative, fascinating and necessary, I cringe at the thought of seeing them. I am a proud, badge-wearing carnivore who carries a fork and knife in his man purse! But I have a feeling that Food, Inc. will have me thumbing through the beloved, leafy-green recipes of Brer Rabbit!

JuNe 19ThThe proposal (Buena Vista)

I loved the most current season of Celebrity Apprentice and one of the things I loved most about it was Jesse James, the laid back, blue-collar husband of movie star Sandra Bullock, who, in interviews, is just as fun, down-to-earth and unassuming. I really like her. But why does she have to make movies I don‘t like? In The Proposal, Bullock does what she almost always does. She phones in the same-old performance in that same-old ridiculous romantic comedy. Come on, Jesse! Isn’t there something she can do at the garage? Grease something? Polish a Chopper?

JuNe 26Thmy Sister’s Keeper (Warner Brothers)Grab your Kleenex and your Paxil! Nick Cassavetes’ new movie about a young girl whose sister is dying might as well be called Marley and She! Based on Jodi Picoult’s 2004 novel, My Sister’s Keeper tells the story of Anna (Abigail Breslin), who sues her parents for medical eman-cipation. See, Anna’s older sister, Kate, has been battling leukemia and her parents actually conceived Anna as a perfect donor match for their ailing child. Nick Cassavetes (John Q, The Notebook) is a master of overwrought, heavy-handed drama and will do everything in his power to make you cry during this movie. he’s like freaking Barbara Walters. And given the fact that moviegoers are basically masochists with tubs of popcorn, this is going to be a huge hit!(what kind of tree are YOU, dear reader – ed).

NEW RELEASESJuNe 2NDdefiance (Paramount)Usually reliable director Edward zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai) brings us this based-on-a-true story tale of the Bielski brothers, who, in 1939, fled deep into the Belarusian forests to protect Jews from slaughter. Dan-iel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell suit up as the Bielski clan, but end up seeming more like cast members of an episode of Survivor: Nazi Germany! The interesting part of this story is the chase and the quest to stay alive. But zwick spends a lot of time (too much time) worrying about the social politics at camp. I fully expected a cameo by Jeff Probst, decked out in his little khaki shorts and safari hat. I guess he figured if there was going to be a tribal council, no one would have clue how to spell Tuvia, zus, or Asael Bielski. GRADE: C

JuNe 9ThGran Torino (Warner Brothers)

2008 wasn’t an impressive year for Clint Eastwood. he started the year with the disappointing Changeling and finished with this! As Korean War veteran, Walt Kowalski, Eastwood lets the racial slurs fly. And audiences, I think, were confused. We’re supposed to dislike Walt. It’s the character’s deep-rooted racism that’s supposed to make his transformation into the “good guy” so impressive and moving. But Eastwood, who grumbles and groans into the camera anytime Walt sees a minority, plays the racism for laughs. In all honesty, this character could have been played by comic Lisa Lampanelli. hey, there’s an idea. Gran Torino starring The Queen of Mean! GRADE: C

JuNe 9ThThe international (Sony Pictures)

In case those two dollar ATM fees weren’t proof enough that banks hold all the world’s power, here comes Clive Owen as Interpol agent, Louis Salinger, who is elbow-deep in an investigation of the IBBC, the Inter-

national Bank of Business and Credit. See, Salinger believes the IBBC is running more than a Christmas Club savings account. he suspects the bank of brokering deals in an international arms ring. Assisting him with his investigation, Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts), who works in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Can you say “out of your jurisdic-tion?” Director Tom Tykwer knows how to set a stage, but he’s saddled with the problem faced by most directors of movies involving international espionage. The plot lines are usually so intricate and involved that people like me just quit caring. Come on! I’m not this emotionally invested in my own life. GRADE: C

JuNe 23RDinkheart (New Line Cinema)Brendan Fraser headlines this total mishap about a Silvertongue, who has the power to literally bring books to life as he reads them. yes! Imag-ine saying aloud, “Rub a dub dub. Three men in a tub!” and all of a sudden you’re smack dab in the middle of an intimate scene in a prison movie! Iain Softley, who directed The Skeleton Key (gag!) and K-Pax (gagging harder!), manages to illustrate Inkheart well. There are some nifty spe-cial effects sequences. But, ironically, he can’t bring Inkheart to life or truly lift if off the page. But, I’m not sure it’s his fault. This whole notion of “reading characters out of books” and “reading them back into the books” is just, well, stupid. Of course, it would be really funny if you read this review aloud and I end up in your living room! Just please don’t read this aloud if you’re perusing News 4U while you’re sitting on the throne. I don’t want any part of that! GRADE: D

JuNe 30ThThe Jonas brothers: The 3d Concert Experience (Buena Vista)

Now, stop it! you are making a hasty and unfair assumption about what I am going to say about this movie. This may surprise you. God knows it surprised me! I am actually going to recommend this movie. But, make no mistake. I am no fan of Kevin, Joe or Nick Jonas. In fact, I think the Jonas Brothers suck on an epic Miley- Cyrus scale. however, as inane as their song lyrics are and as high School Musical as their musicianship is, 3D imagery is an AWESOME way to watch a concert! I’m hoping that we get a great 3D concert film starring a music icon. Can you imagine putting on 3D glasses and getting one of Madonna’s cone bras in the eye? Can imagine wearing 3D glasses and watching Mick Jagger’s lips flap in your face like you’re on the set of Little Shop of Horrors? Or better yet, can you imagine putting on 3D glasses and being fondled by Michael Jack-son‘s gloved hand? I’m there, people! I’m there! GRADE: B-(can I kick in a vote for Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. throwing raw meat while flames shoot out of his codpiece? – ed).

BReTT FAvReFlip flop. I just can’t make up my mind. Everyone knows my story by now: played a storied NFL career, retire,

weep, un-retire, suck, retire, FOR REAL ThIS

TIME, and... most likely, un-retire, again. What a predicament! I know I’ve got Wrangler com-mercials, fishing, lawn-mowing and my family (bleh!) to occupy my time, but none of that com-pares to the rush of tossing around the pigskin and getting tackled hard to the ground by a bunch of strong, sweaty men. I know America, I think it’s getting a little ridiculous myself, but the urge to come back for one more year is just too strong to deny. Football is a seductive mistress, and she’s got this old Mississippi boy whipped. Even if my arm is shot, I’ll find a way... shoot I’ll probably be majority cyborg like that robot cop in those movies by time they fix all my worn out parts and I’ll still be playing football. Maybe I’ll play forever, who knows. Or maybe I’ll offi-cially retire after I’ve un-retired and come back to play for every team in the NFL. heck, I might even suit up and hit the Arena Football League too. Stay tuned, because ESPN will be covering every excruciating second. Wear Wranglers!

CRANKy oLD BAG IN A houSeCoAT

I’m the noxious battle-ax that’s about 142 years-old, clinging to life at my daughter’s house next door to you. My daily activities include putting on my housecoat, wandering aimlessly around the yard, smoking cigarettes on the porch and giving passers by the stink-eye, yelling at people/ani-mals/inanimate objects around me and fantasizing about Regis Philbin. I don’t bother with bathing or wear-ing clothes; my housecoat suits me well enough. yeah, I smell, like a combination of sulfur and un-wiped butt-crack, and I make people vomit if they come within four feet of me, but so what’s it to ya? you think I care? I saw you mowing your grass the other day, neighbor, and I ambled over to your fence, looking like the Crypt-keeper, shaking my bony arm in your direction. Once you shut your pow-erful lawn-mower off, I really let you have it. I accused you up and down of almost mowing over my flower (that’s actually a weed) by the base of the fence, talking to you like a real piece of trash (even though you always smile and wave at me), because you’re one of those young punks. I made sure you know not to mow by my house, because that’s my (daughter’s) house, and clearly you aren’t capable of competently mowing your lawn even though you’ve already done it about forty times (without mowing my flower over). Doesn’t matter to me though, punk. I’m watching you through my window, seething with disdain and clinching my arthritic fist, waiting for you to bring your mower over by my house. Then I’m calling the cops.

ShoRT-ShoRTS GuyRemember the 80’s show Magnum P.I.? Well, I’m no Thomas Magnum, but I choose to wear his shorts, even though we’re living in the 21st century. That’s right, I’m a thigh-baring guy,

and I’m proud. have you ever felt the wind ca-ressing your bare thighs while you’re walking down the sidewalk? I have, and it’s fantastic! I strut around town in my short-shorts, showing off my hairless thighs for everyone to see. My wife is embarrassed to be seen with me, and my children refuse to go anywhere with me un-less I put on pants. They just need to join the fun and lighten up. They keep saying something about my shorts looking like a hot dog flopping around inside of a plastic bag--I just don’t get it. And “Dad, you’re gonna pop out if you keep bending over... ugh, that’s so gross!” Gross? Children, please, your old man knows a thing or two about style here! Besides, if short-shorts are so “gross,” then why do they keep making them? huh, brainiacs? Because they are styl-ish and respectable, that’s why!

Kim Zolciak is still alive (as of press time).

Let’s see: Jon and Kate plus date, Creed picking up musical instruments in the same room again, Kim zol-ciak is unfortunately still alive and baseball lost its last affable hero, Manny Ramirez, to a female fertility drug. Things are rolling along just fine!
