The accolades keep coming. Young received a Grammy nominati on for the song “Getti n’ The accolades keep coming. Young received a Grammy nominati on for the song “Getti n’ You Home,” a showcase for his deep vocals and passion for the ladies. In turn, his fans have expressed their support by nominati ng Young for multi ple American Country Awards, not to menti on fi lling the seats at every tour stop. Riding this wave of adulati on, he has appeared on

According to his website, Young concentrated on music from an early age, spending his high school years performing in plays and desperately trying to ward off the impending doom of college. But once there, his focus became intensely clear. “I did the thing all parents love to hear – I dropped out of school and started making music full ti me. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that music is what drives me and it was what I had to do,” said Young. He fully dedicated himself to his craft and hit the road, playing 150 shows a year, all the while building up a rabid fan base that eventually convinced Nashville it had a star in the making. A debut album was released in 2006, kick-starti ng a career full of highs. Four albums later, Chris Young is at the top of the country music charts, peaking at just the right moment. “I really do believe in ti ming,” said Young. “Everybody has a diff erent point in their career when things start to come together and click, when it’s your ti me.” —Thomas Ellis

fryer to make sure that they are cooked all the way through. Two other tips for the perfect apple fritter are to closely monitor the temperature of your fryer and to make sure that you separately mix your wet and dry ingredients before adding everything together. Consistency is also important; dough that you would use to make bread can be described as a semi-solid paste. Batter that you would make for a crepe falls in a more liquid category. What you make it for apple fritters, it should fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. To display your apple fritters, Cindy recommends placing them on a plate after you roll them in cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle them with a powdered sugar, followed by a caramel drizzle. Recipes for both sweet potato casserole and apple fritters can easily be found online, but for those in a rush or not wanting to prepare these items themselves, the two time Taste of Southern Indiana and 2012 Best of Evansville winners at Rose Hill Café and Schmitt Catering can prepare them for you. —Nikki Davis

COOKING SPOTLIGHT

As the leaves change and the temperatures drop, Mark and Cindy Schmitt of Rose Hill Café and Schmitt Catering have a few recommendations to liven up you fall meals: smoked meats,

sweet potato casserole and apple fritters. Cindy believes that a mini-glazed smoked ham is perfect for holidays because it is such a traditional dish. Mark is the meat expert of the family, and his meat smoking process includes a combination of smoke, time, water and wood chips. His 20 years’ experience is apparent when he cooks meat, and he credits how the meat is prepared. As well as, where it is placed on the rack to the success of the slow cook. Sweet potato casserole makes an excellent side dish for fall because fresh sweet potatoes are abundant at this time of year, and pecans are in season. Sweet potato casserole can be described as a combination between a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie. The sweet potato gives it a savory element, while the pecan topping makes it sweet. Cindy recommends using fresh sweet potatoes versus canned, and she notes the importance of measuring correctly for casserole recipes. Her only variance is that she likes to double the toppings listed on recipes, and she has a preference for dark brown sugar over light. She also adds, “Read the recipe before attempting [sweet potato casserole]. Then read it again to make sure that you understand it.” Clear comprehension of the recipe steps is paramount to a successful dish. Apple fritt ers are a batt ered apple dessert that is deep fried and dusted with confectioners’ sugar. A popular dish at the fall festival, this dessert can also be made at home. Apple fritters consist of flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, egg, milk, butter or margarine, vanilla extract and diced apples. Some recipes call for orange rind and/or orange juice. Cindy recommends using fresh Granny Smith apples and substituting baking soda instead of yeast in recipes. She notes that the key to a good apple fritter is to fry them until they float to the top of the

Making your Holidays Rosy


Teppanyaki Grill & Buffet � 201 B North Green River Rd Evansville, IN812-474-6660What�'s

The fi rst thing you noti ce about Teppanyaki Grill and Buff et is its size and the vast menu at this culinary castle more than backs up its signifi cant stature. Brothers Shuang and Li have

a clear and irrevocable passion for food and serving people. Opening the new locati on in Evansville is not the fi rst ti me the brothers have built a food fortress stone by stone. Evansville’s restaurant is one of seven in Indiana, on top of the restaurants they have sparked in four other states including Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Illinois. They enjoy keeping the restaurant’s menu fresh and unique and are constantly adding new and unique items. Upon entering Teppanyaki Grill and Buff et you are greeted with the transient sound of fl owing water followed by a sensual spectrum of pleasant scents. In front of you is a sizable water garden sporti ng a range of mini-mountains with water cascading down them. It is reminiscent of the most serene and majesti c images straight out of a fantasy novel. Your eyes are then sent off to explore the open space of the restaurant. All the open space is not inti midati ng; instead it provokes feelings of freedom and adventurousness. The vibe from the decor is relaxing and elegant, and neon fi xtures bring an edge which averts stuffi ness. All these elements combined, make you feel like you have been transported to the Eastern Hemisphere. It fosters a welcome element of excitement. The fi rst dish presented to me was the Crab Rangoon. It is crisp, creamy and seducti vely savory but not too heavy. It holds a slight sweetness and a perfect balance of texture. You can pop these like candy and never stop. The crab serves as the backbone of the fl avors. Next up is a colorful buff et plate. It features the Tomato Shrimp which is an amazing play with fl avors. The tomato starts out savory and then a sweetness blooms on the palate.

Instead of over-powering the taste of the shrimp, the tomato frames it and showcases it well. Beside it is the Onion chicken which is a smoky, tender treat. The onion is certainly present but not excessive and there is a robust sweetness that punctuates the dish aft er swallowing. Also present, is a mild sourness that underlines and supports the dish. The third plate to arrive is Teppanyaki’s Hibachi Medley. It is an off ering of every ingredient available for your choosing and prepared on their Hibachi grill. This is a sultry combinati on, the ulti mate comfort food. The smoky, savory fl avors leave you with a warm, sati sfi ed feeling like you just had a long, genuine hug. Its contents are egg noodles, crab, mushrooms, broccoli, shrimp, eggs, zucchini, chicken, beef, green beans and onions. The last to appear is the sushi plate featuring the ‘Melti ng’ Roll. This roll sports the texture of warm wax and is much of what I imagine the Turkish Delights from the Chronicles of Narnia to taste like. It has nearly every major fl avor profi le and makes them work together perfectly. It is a sensuous experience of subtle tones fi t together in a palate-pleasing puzzle. A light crunch here, a slight spice there, an earthy taste there…this roll is otherworldly. I propose it be renamed the Alpha and Omega Roll. Visit Teppanyaki Grill and Buff et to experience this carnival of cuisine for yourself! —Nick Durcholz

Teppanyaki Grill and Buff et is located at 201 North Green River Road on Evansville’s east side.

Chef Ben Jutzi comes from a family of chefs. His father owned a diner that was run with the help of Jutzi’s aunt and Ben grew up listening to the inspirati ons and advice of his father. Jutzi recalls his father discussing food pairings and ingredients, plati ng and presentati on, dishes he

liked to serve and what he enjoyed eati ng. It was that passion in his

Ben JutziBiaggi's6401 East Lloyd Expy Evansville, IN 47715(812) 421-0800

father’s voice that left an impression on Jutzi and what lead him to the positi on of Chef Partner at Evansville’s Biaggi’s restaurant. Jutzi was born and raised in Evansville. However, aft er having worked in restaurants for a few years, the news that his wife was expecti ng their fi rst child led him to pursue 18 months of formal training Sullivan University in Louisville, Ky. Louisville, considered by Jutzi to be a “great restaurant community” gave him the opportunity to experience the work of chefs such as Chef Coby Ming, formerly of Wiltshire Pantry and now Chef at Harvest Restaurant, as well as Shawn Ward of Jack Frys. It was there that Jutzi found a new outlook on cooking, farming and what it took to make it in the restaurant industry. “I think this city deserves an affl uent food scene. I think the local farming community as well as the independent restaurant are under-supported. So instead of trying to convince my wife why we needed to leave, I regressed and moved back in hopes of bringing even a glimmer of that philosophy into the city. Biaggi’s is not exactly corporate and not exactly independent; however they off er the best of both worlds. We have a lot of freedom here, but at the same ti me there are systems designed to make us bett er at what we do, which is run a restaurant,” said Jutzi. In terms of Jutzi’s favorite dish at Biaggi’s he loves the Pork Chop with Blue Cheese Butt er. His favorite dish to cook though, is the Veal Osso Buco. “I appreciate an ingredient that requires perseverance and pati ence to make it into what it deserves to be,” stated Jutzi. For the lunch crowd, Jutzi recommends the Prime Beef Sandwich with smoked Gouda, Swiss, cheddar and bacon. The sandwich also has caramelized onions on Ciabatt a bread with horseradish Mayonnaise, which Jutzi describes as a “great mix of salty, spicy, creamy, sweet and smoky.” For those visiti ng the restaurant for dinner, Jutzi recommends the Pork Chop al Forno with blue cheese butt er, roasted garlic demi-glaze and potatoes. He describes it as being pork brined and grilled to the point of being very tender. He also shares that the blue cheese butt er off ers a nice, sharp, creamy additi on and “the rich demi-glaze with roasted garlic is candy.” When asked what he likes about his job Jutzi said, “The infi nite combinati ons and the ability to witness the instant reacti on between the food and the consumer. I am constantly inspired by an environment of other chefs, nature, music and relati onships. All of these things allow me to perceive what I do in new ways. I try to surround myself with people who are equally inspired and talented. I enjoy the order amidst chaos and the anti cipati on at the beginning of service, and the relief at the end.” —Nikki Davis

The local homeless advocacy group, Aurora, will host their second annual Midwest Gingerbread Contest on

Saturday, December 1st at the Centre in downtown Evansville. This is a fundraiser unlike any other as teams compete to build majesti c gingerbread houses on site in an eff ort to raise money and awareness for the local homeless men, women and children. Their numbers reach up to 450 on any given night. Last year’s inaugural event was a runaway success with over 1,000 visitors and 43 teams parti cipati ng, and the 2012 editi on looks to build on that success by taking the fundraising to another level. Donati ons are always welcome and greatly appreciated, but the most exciti ng way to get involved with this unique contest is through sponsorship. Amazing adverti sing opportuniti es are available to businesses that sponsor teams starti ng at $100, up to $300 or become an event sponsor starti ng at $1000, up to $10,000. Businesses will gain the reverent recogniti on of being associated with the fi ght to end homelessness. Depending on the level and type of sponsorship, businesses can expect to receive name exposure on shirts and in-event adverti sing (please visit the Aurora website for a full listi ng of sponsorship benefi ts). The more a business supports the competi ti on, the greater the marketi ng opportuniti es. This is the very defi niti on of a win-win situati on. So, now is the ti me to gather up a group of friends and form a cracker-jack gingerbread house building team, prepared to leave the competi ti on in the dust of your cookie crumbs. It is also the ti me for local businesses to step up and support this one-of-a-kind fundraising event. —Thomas Ellis

It was with this album that the masses fi rst experienced the robust and sweet notes that Walter’s pipes could produce. McCarty also had the opportunity to dabble a bit in showbiz in 2003 when he was given a role in Spike Lee’s fi lm He Got Game. “I got to spend a lot of ti me with Spike Lee and all the other actors in the movie. I got to read a script with Denzel Washington, going back and forth with him and Rosario Dawson. It is an experience I will never forget,” said McCarty of his experience in the fi lm. In 2011, McCarty started to bow out of his life on the polished hardwood and decided to focus more on his passion for music that had been present within him for a long ti me. “I love all types and all genres of music. It’s just always been a big part of my life. I think what drive me and what brings music out of me is just listening to other good music,” said McCarty. It was this year that he released his second album enti tled Emoti onally in which he returned to his soul-soothing, baby-skin smooth R&B crooning. Most recently, McCarty is proud and excited about his newest release Unbreakable. “Unbreakable is defi nitely an upbeat album. I defi nitely took it a step further; it is more of an urban/pop album. Usually I’ve always been hands-on with my music and always wanted to control what was being done, but this ti me I actually let [the] producers be producers and I just sung and wrote. They have really taken this album to another place. It’s me really stepping out of the box. This album has it all,” said McCarty. If you are in the mood for inti macy or dancing your face off , McCarty’s tunes, especially on his new album, will be there in a pinch. Much like he proved himself clutch on the basketball court. —Nick Durcholz

localtalentWalter McCarty

Walter McCarty stepped his six foot, 10 inch frame into the prying eyes of the public not with a microphone in his hand but with a basketball. The Evansville nati ve fi rst got his foot in the paint when he began playing basketball in college for the University of Kentucky

Wildcats. It was here he got to be a part of “The Big Show,” as he was a member of the 1996 NCAA Championship winning team. The same year McCarty was snatched up by the New York Knicks in the 19th round of the NBA draft . A litt le more than a year later, McCarty was traded to the Boston Celti cs where he achieved some of the best stats of his enti re professional basketball career. He was a clutch player for the Celti cs and a fan favorite. McCarty also played for the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers for a ti me then switched gears when he explored assistant coaching for the University of Louisville Cardinals and the Indiana Pacers. In the midst of his basketball mentality McCarty managed to release an R&B/soul album in 1998 called Moment for Love. “[The album] was writt en and recorded in my basement studio in Boston. I was married the year before and my fi rst daughter was born the same year so you can imagine what was going on in my head, and the things I was writi ng about. I found the lady of my life while writi ng that CD but also had my fi rst daughter. It was an awesome ti me,” said McCarty.

soundboardlocaltalentWill P

In the age of American Idol youth and Bieber Fever ruling the music charts, most singing careers start early and oft en end just as quickly. So, by industry standards, local R&B vocalist Will P was virtually over-the-hill when he fi rst hit the stage in 2004 at the ripe old age of 26. He debuted as a

back-up singer for a typically pre-teen rapper named Lil’ Dyress in East St. Louis. “That was my fi rst live performance,” recalls Will, “and when I walked out on stage the whole crowd went nuts – maybe 1000 people. I sang my fi rst note, and it sounded like the girls just went crazy. Right then and there, I felt the love. The adrenaline, the feeling – it was euphoric. Aft er that, I got the bug.” Following his St. Louis epiphany, Will met and collaborated with Henderson-based music producer Don Fetti off and on, recording several songs and putti ng together a home (made) studio. “I went out and bought a computer. I got a $25 microphone and a computer recording program for free from a friend. I just sat in my living room – I would get beats from somebody and write the melodies right there before taking them to the real studio.” While not a musician in the strictest sense of the word – he plays no instrument. Will soon discovered that he had an enviable knack for vocal hooks, from which reaped dividends when Fetti produced and released a Pimp C maxi-single in 2007, including one track featuring Will’s voice. “He released this 20,000 or 30,000 strong in Atlanta, Evansville and Kentucky. I mean, he was doing it big. My name was listed right there with Pimp C on all those copies. So, I started pushing hard, doing shows for free wherever I could. I did everything I could to get my name out there,” said Will. Will took the next obvious step and built a more professional studio, assembling a ‘dream team’ of local arti sts and releasing material through his own label, Quarterti l Records. Everything was falling into place.Of course, the music world is litt ered with tales of talented people derailed by bad choices. Will P became yet another casualty, his dream of R&B stardom crushed when he was sentenced to a long stretch of house arrest following one such decision. “We all do things to try and get by, and we all have a lifestyle that we feel is our own,” Will noted somewhat crypti cally. As if on cue, his computer crashed, erasing all evidence of musical existence. However, this latest setback only

strengthened Will’s resolve to get back in the game. Upon completi on of his sentence last year, he began in earnest to rebuild his singing career, grow his constructi on business and become a more reliable, responsible family man.Will’s most convincing vocal statement to date, “Ain’t Enough Time,” should be available on iTunes by the beginning of November. Recorded with rapper and musical confi dante Meserati KillaGo, it is a decidedly dark, sublime song constructed from a ghostly piano melody. It features Will moving beyond his earlier sly take on Justi n Timberlake and embracing a more mature delivery reminiscent of classic R&B. Now 34, he may once again be getti ng a late start but Will P simply appreciates the opportunity to share his gift . “I’m hoping to achieve success in the music industry, but I don’t care if I’m a one-hit wonder. I just want to be surrounded by music.” —Thomas Ellis

News4U (N4U): Why did you choose to take the Christi an route with your music as opposed to going the secular route?KB (KB): It was much less like a choice and more like what was natural. Hip-hop by defi niti on is expression of yourself and I became a Christi an at age 16. With this walk that I had with God, my change of my ti es and aff ecti ons - and all those things combined turned me into somebody I wasn’t before. So, when I express myself in hip-hop, it would come out a certain way. So yeah, it wasn’t like I had two pills to choose from, a blue one or a red one, but it was more of me just being who I was.

N4U: Can you name me a few musicians who have directly infl uence your style of hip-hop?KB: Yeah sure, The Cross Movement is a group of folks who are kind of iconic/ historic in the world of Christi an hip-hop. I was raised in the Midwest so my style is defi nitely infl uenced by cats like Nelly, Chingy and Murphy Lee. And then, you know, East Coast rap as a whole, the lyrical ability they had. There is no one being that I can kinda look to and say this has been the source of my inspirati on. I have been shaped by a collecti on of talented musicians.

N4U: What is your fi rst memory ti ed to music?KB: When I was about 9, my mother’s birthday was that day and I wanted to get her something but I didn’t have any money being 9 years old so I wrote my mother a song. I remember I wrote it in dry-erase marker, on a dry-erase board and I read it to her.

Widmer Brother Brewing Marionberry

Hibiscus GoseSummit Brewing CO

Extra Pale Ale

Christy Moore • 2 It has a fairly dark, orange, red pour. I had opted to be open minded in this months reviews, after a friend that has been brewing for a while bought me a handful of fresh hops and told me a lot of facts about them, he warned they could kill my dogs so to be careful. I opted not to bring them home, I would recommend the same option be chosen with this strange Widmer concoction.

Jabez Martinez • 1This was a pinkish beer with a tangy aroma. This is about the worst beer I have ever had. It had an extreme amount of carbonation and it reminded me of some cheap champagne. I could taste the sweet fruits and some yeast but other and that it was pretty bitter. Maybe I got a bad batch but I couldn’t drink the rest of what I had. Widmer is usually a very good brewery but I think they missed it on this one.

Nick D • 3It pours a translucent ruby hue, certainly not a common color for a beer. The scent isn’t as unique as the color but then you taste it and you are thrown into a state of shock. There is a tomato flavor with a floral tone from the added hibiscus. This one I was really pulling for because of how off-the-wall the ingredients are but it is just too much going on at one time. The aftertaste is smooth but overtly sour. This one talks a big game but sadly falls a bit short.

Christy Moore • 4Nice bronzy boxer color. Good blend of flavors that blanket the hops which is very subtle not at all over powering like some craft beers. Allowing it to enhance the flavor instead of overpowering everything, this is the role I prefer from the presence of the ancient beer ingredient.

Jabez Martinez • 3.5This is your classic amber pale ale. I could taste the malt flavors but also the toasted caramel flavor. I could also taste some citrus flavors in there but it also had some lingering hop bitterness. I would classify this one as a better-than-average pale ale.

Nick D • 4This brew pours a vibrant amber hue. The scent of hops is mild but it is has noticeable, not flat like most pale ales I’ve come across. Unfortunately the taste is not as balanced at first but a few sips in the sour bite of the hops fade and the flavor becomes less harsh. It does finish very smoothly which is uncharacteristic of extra pale ale. Not anything mind-blowing but this a solid beer.

Christy Moore • 3.5If you get a couple black hawks down you will find this stout has a rich, roasted malt taste. It has a very dark pour with traditional flavors of an Irish-style stout. I have had a few stouts I that you practically had to chew but this beer has a dry smooth consistency.

Jabez Martinez • 4This is a nice, dark beer with a nice, brown head. I can smell the roasted barley with a hint of chocolate. I could taste the coffee and chocolate flavors in this beer. I have never heard of the makers of this beer but they seem to know what they are doing. It had decent carbonation and is very easy to drink.

Nick D • 4.5This beer pours almost completely black, holding it directly to a light only about 5% passes through. The scent is a combination of chocolate and coffee tones punctuated by a sharp alcohol odor. I wouldn’t call it pleasant but it’s not totally unappealing either. Upon tasting, there is a bite at the back of the throat, it fades quickly and goes down smooth. The flavor is much like the smell, a rich coffee and cocoa combination. This is a bold brew.

Christy Moore • 2 I was somewhat worried when I saw the gargantuan hops pod on the label, but the bitter bite was not as strong on this beverage. In fact it was a pretty good beer even though it took a tractor to move massive hoppy cone so maybe this proves once and for all size really does matter.

Jabez Martinez • 3As the label clearly states this is a Hoppy Wheat Beer, which I found okay. It did have a cloudy golden color and it also had a sweet citrus flavor to it. I am not a big hoppy-flavor guy but I would say this would be a good beginner IPA. The hops flavor was there but it doesn’t hit you over the head with it.

Nick D • 4.5The name says it all for this brew. It pours a thin, scant yellowish hue and the scent of the hops is significant but not as strong as I thought it would be. The initial taste is subtle and really refreshing. There is just the right amount of sweetness that suppresses the bitterness of the hops. Add a lemon slice and this beer would be complete. It goes down smooth and demonstrates brewing care and precision.

•Attila the Hun was suspected of suffocating from a bloody nose after passing out from alcohol at his ‘bachelor party’.

•The term ‘toddlers’ originated in England. There were impurities in the drinking water that disallowed the water to be used for drinking. A common alternative drink was beer (it was cheap, plentiful and the water used to make it was treated during the initial boiling during brewing). Toddlers, just weaning off of mothers milk were unaccustomed to the effects of beer. This coupled with the fact that they were just learning how to walk really made them toddle.

•The first consumer protection law ever written was enacted over beer by Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria in 1516. It was a purity law limiting the ingredients of beer to barley, hops and water.

•Pabst Beer is now called Pabst Blue Ribbon beer because it was the first beer to win a blue ribbon at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.

I transform the fabric from a fl at plane into a three dimensional form by layering the material to produce volume. The resulti ng objects refl ect the structural design of the body or the space that surrounds it. The color palett e and minimalist style is essenti al to my work. I work from a palett e of monochromati c colors to create the illusion of a silhouett e and shadow. The colors are used to accentuate the depth of the layered material. My methodology paired with choice of medium, layering, color, and display creates a dramati c transformati on for the material.

November 23rdHitchcockFox Searchlight

Sight and sounds of the horror classic Psycho will haunt the silver screen once again, this ti me with the camera zoomed in on Alfred Hitchcock and his wife Alma in the upcoming Hitchcock. The fi lm will cover Alfred’s obsession with fi nding a subject for his next fi lm, his inspirati on from the real-life killer from Wisconsin, Ed Gein and the making and release of the famed thriller. Beneath the weight of studio wars and producti on madness, Alfred and Alma att empt to hold their relati onship together. Alma, played by the intoxicati ng Helen Mirren, struggles to hold on to her own identi ty under the shadow of her headline-grabbing husband. The ti tle role is given more strength thanks to the additi on of Anthony Hopkins as the mysterious and oft en brutal Alfred Hitchcock. The screenplay has undergone multi ple rewrites, including input from Black Swan co-writer John J. McLaughlin. Danny Elfman sets the fi lm’s score, composing a Psycho-inspired fi lm for the second ti me since his recordings for the 1998 Gus Van Sant remake. Scarlett Johansson will take on the role of Janet Leigh, the seducti ve blonde who fi nds herself at the Bates Motel and gets famously knifed in the shower. Other cast members to embody Psycho’s 1950’s air includes Jessica Biel as Oklahoma-born actress Vera Miles, Michael Wincott as the killer Ed Gein, Toni Collett e as Peggy Robertson and James D’Arcy as Anthony Perkins. —Jacqueline Greenberg

November 16thLincolnDreamworks/Touchstone

Directed under the eye of the legendary Steven Spielberg, Lincoln will unveil an inti mate biopic on our country’s 16th president. The war drama will focus on the most trying months of Lincoln’s politi cal career, in the thick of the Civil War. The fi lm is based on the biography by Doris Kearns Goodwin; Team of Rivals: The Politi cal Genius of Abraham Lincoln, which outlines the last four months of the president’s life. Dreamworks has announced that the movie’s plot will surround the fricti on between Lincoln and his cabinet, as he struggles to abolish slavery. Spielberg has expressed his deep-wound excitement for giving Lincoln new, tangible life on screen. He aimed to show Lincoln “at work,” in a light of trial and turmoil. Audiences can look forward to seeing his humanity beyond the constraints of a history book portrayal. The ti tle role originally went to Liam Neeson but was passed over to Daniel-Day Lewis aft er Neeson moved on to other projects. Lewis, a master method actor and Academy Award winner, is chilling in his adaptati on of Lincoln. History buff or not, one can imagine that experiencing his performance on the big screen will be riveti ng for viewers of all kinds. Sally Field was chosen fi ve years ago to play the role of Mary Todd Lincoln, she was quoted saying, “To have the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis and to play one of the most complicated and colorful women in American history is simply as good as it gets.” Other cast members include

James Spader, Tommy Lee Jones,and Joseph Gordon-Levitt .


REVIEWScinema new releases

Red LightsVersus Entertainment

Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), a seemingly misplaced assistant, searches for something he doesn’t believe in at fi rst. He teams up with mentor psychologist, Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) as she toils at the end of a 30-year career, debunking any and all paranormal acti viti es that come her way. Simon Silver (Robert De Niro) plays a dangerous psychic who comes out of reti rement. The non-believer Margaret warns Tom to keep his distance from Silver. Tom instead becomes obsessed with him for reasons unknown at

Prometheus20th Century Fox

Standing on the shoulders of the original 1979 Alienfi lm, the 124 minutes set aside for this story att empts to introduce us to our “maker.” Whether or not this tale is worth spending twice as long as you would in church on Sunday depends on how big of a fan of the original fi lm(s) you are. In the beginning, we fi nd ourselves in the familiar setti ng of deep-space with a cryogenically frozen crew as we land on a planet, far, far away from our own. As the crew comes to, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) believes that she has fi nally found the “engineers” of the human race, and is anxious to take full advantage of meeti ng them face-to-face. The mysterious David (Michael Fassbender) is a remarkable android, more interesti ng than the rest of

the crew and is programmed for a very diff erent agenda. Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) at fi rst seems to be an integral part of the story, but never seems to amass any value, unless she does in the sequel perhaps? Tell me if you’ve heard this one: When the crew learns that they are not alone on this planet, things fi nally get interesti ng. The directi on was good and the performances were solid. I’m actually now a big fan of Noomi Rapace who was the body of the fi lm. I can see her becoming a sci-fi icon like Sigourney Weaver. It’s really too bad that when the fi lm fi nally gripped me, other than the normal horror fare, it was about 60 seconds from the ending. They should have started this movie at its end. Cheers to a potenti ally thrilling and meaningful sequel!

fi rst, but then risks everything to uncover the truth about his abiliti es. Tom’s fi rst att empt to defraud Silver goes terribly wrong. He ignores an internal struggle and focuses all of his energy on disproving Silver, believing he is the cause. Meanwhile, Silver exits the stage to debunk the debunkers and arranges for a scienti fi c study to prove his powers are real. The two of them go toe-to-toe while the scienti fi c community and the world’s percepti on are on the brink of a new, absolute truth: psychic powers are as real as the air we breathe. Down but not out, Tom knows this now, but not in the way we expect. The setup is thrilling and performances are solid, but the back of the Blu-Ray case should read “mind-blowing confusion” instead of “conclusion.” The real twist is that 110 tasty minutes of psychological treats are ruined in the last three minutes with paranormal tricks. Unfair storytelling delivers the last blow, as we’re beaten into submission by the writer/director and his brutal, overly-complex ending to this potenti ally visionary tale. —Ben Clark


Visceral ThroneOmnipotent AsperityBrutal Bands4 starsLike a funhouse hall of mirrors that distorts your reflection a hundred times over until reality slips through the cracks in your sanity, Visceral Throne blurs the line between life

and death with an unforgiving attack. It is both euphoric and disheartening. ‘These humans think they are gods - Building towards my eternal dominion - Never, will they reach me - I shall strike and divide them all - It is my creation and I will do as I will,’ threatens lead vocalist Dylan Cox in the album’s title track. I tend to believe him and suggest you do the same. Asperity refers to suffering or severity and indeed, these local death metal deviants bring the pain. Lead by multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Sutton, Visceral Throne pushes and pulls, their intricate rhythms losing speed for the briefest of moments before diving headlong once again into a rapid free fall. It is a feeling reflected in harrowing lines like ‘Silence now floods your ears – An Epitaph for all man Breeding – A Spiraled Diseased Race – Destined for the grave,’ from the track “Epitaph.” With suffocating production and haunting cover art, Omnipotent Asperity lives up to its name.

Julie Kathrynbroken love [ep]Self-released4 stars“I always had two things, playing music and helping people through social advocacy, but I wasn’t sure what path to take,” said Julie Kathryn when discussing her journey from agency

to stage. Ultimately, she chose to pursue music full-time. Her latest release, the four song broken love [ep], proves unequivocally that the right choice was made – at least for the benefit of Americana music lovers everywhere. Kathryn’s sound is a hazy, woozy, slow burn with a touch of twang and alt-country brought to life through an assortment of natural instruments. While the opening two tracks, “Don’t Want You Back” and “Not the Same,” smolder with quiet restraint, the final two tracks exploit that vibe with even greater success, recalling the genius of Mazzy Star. “Broken Love” slinks in on a riff so spidery and watery, weaving the tale of a complicated relationship - ‘spring is coming / the witch is dead / my first love’s unfolding, unfolding.’ The EP ends with the elegantly understated “Let This Be” which finds Kathryn in supreme voice, somehow both atmospheric and immediate, backed by sleepy violin and cello. Judging by the quality of songwriting contained on this release, Julie Kathryn may never need a day job again.

spotlightlocal bandAbouT The bAnd: WSM is a hip-hop group based out of Evansville, pronounced “Dub-S-M” an acronym for Wikid Style Music. Our group consists of three emcees (J.J., Indy Evans, and Roc). We have two official albums. Both albums can be found on iTunes, Amazon and most online music sites. They are titled From Day One and Second Coming. We just released Second Coming in September. Check out our video for the song called “Once Again” on Youtube!

WhAT They coVer: Our music is 100% original. We each write our own lyrics to original beats (produced mostly by J.J.). We each bring something unique to every song with our different angles, yet work really well together. Our styles have a Midwest glue, but we are each original and something different than anyone out right now. One thing we strive for is the importance of being diverse to capture more than one particular audience.

Their influences: That’s a hard question to pin down. From the beginning to some current hip hop, we’ve been influenced by many great artists. We can say though, that the Midwest chopper styles of Tech Nine, Twista, Do Or Die and Bone, clearly introduced a love for rapid fire style. Our low income neighborhood early on played a big role as well, since hip-hop went viral and became a good outlet for most kids around that time.

WSM cd reviews


Dan DeaconAmericaDomino RecordsElectronic maestro Dan Deacon combines the beautifully light with the despairingly lost in his recent album,

America. After touring the country and far regions of the world, this record became a canvas for an awakening of the self. As a formal composer and estranged musician, Deacon’s themes of wanderlust and realization, investigating both the outward and the inward, are captured with a thunder through his masterfully composed pieces.

Cat PowerSunMatador RecordsSun lifts Cat Power’s Chan Marshall into a fresh, poppy atmosphere, never before explored in her work of the last two

decades. Chan’s usual, stripped-down-bluesy groans are now accompanied by drum machines, synthesizers and sound effects. Even with the seemingly drastic change, Chan’s sincerity in her work is carried into this album so passionately that the album doesn’t bring a “new sound,” but an exploration that listeners can join in on with the same Cat Power of years ago.

Flying Lotus Until the Quiet ComesWarp RecordsFlying Lotus is a gigantic, sitting machine, with tubes pulling from the pools of a dizzying number of genres. Jazz, electronic,

hip-hop, kraut-rock and experimental influences are all present. But the machine itself is fueled by dreams and plays both homage and narrator to the subconscious. It is a world known by the artist, to grow in mystery the further it is explored. This record plays with space, freedom, jazz and inward venturing in its most chilled out form. —Jacqueline Greenberg

Session AmericanaLove & DirtSelf-released4 starsSession Americana’s raw, spontaneous feel is created with most any beaten and weathered instruments at their disposal: a vintage suitcase, collapsible bar table wired with microphones, mandocello and a pre-war parlor guitar. Somehow, this collective of gifted musicians wrings cohesion from chaos but still retains

an experimental side, however subtle. Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Morphine, Throwing Muses), Love & Dirt indeed reflects the Americana referenced in the band’s name, but also vacillates from the pseudo-pop of the opening track “Down to You,” to the Burt Bacharach era inspired melody of the closing track “So Far From Your Door.” In between, there are elements of Wilco, The Eagles, John Doe and even a brief foray into Radiohead atmospherics. Despite the seemingly disparate moods, the album holds together beautifully.In keeping with the collective mindset, several members take a turn in front of the microphone, switching back and forth from song to song like mc’s, an approach that keeps the listener off-kilter but invested. There’s not a false step taken throughout, and the highlight comes midway with the droning, minute long “Intro” leading into “Easier,” a harmonica-driven, echo-laden lament, plucked out on a lonely piano while the vocal harmonies build and reach an assuring crescendo. Entirely affecting.

miggs15th & HopeElm City Music3 starsHitless Wonder, an excellent book released this year by Joe Oestreich, bass player and singer for Watershed (the little band that never quite could out of Columbus, OH), describes his group’s 20 year struggle to achieve something beyond mid-level

success. They are armed with arguably more heart than talent. One day miggs might well be telling the same tale. The stars seemingly aligned for the band’s fifth album as Phil Ramone, producer of Billy Joel’s most successful period, signed on to engineer a ‘better miggs record.’ But the promise of this collaboration is not heard anywhere on 15th & Hope. Much like Watershed, miggs plays music from the Heartland without a signature voice or unique musical vision. Influences such as Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, The Romantics, Steve Miller, even Watershed - all are in evidence. But it sounds as though the band has simply pieced together familiar riffs and wordplay without pushing to discover something more. And yet, miggs’ most glaring weakness might in some strange way be its greatest strength. Songs such as “Home,” “Fairy Tales & Miracles” and “Stars,” while non-descript, are radio-ready and universal, perfect for inclusion on a movie or television soundtrack. Maybe there’s hope after all.—Thomas Ellis

VIDEO GAMES

They have tackled bounti ful, fantasy worlds ridden with mythical creatures in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, post-apocalypti c Las Vegas with the latest installment of the Fallout series and now Bethesda Soft works unveils a surreal cityscape, scarred by industry and disease but rife with stark beauty.

That game is Dishonored and it is Bethesda’s latest fi rst-person, acti on adventure ti tle sketched in a steam-punk style that is sleek and precise at ti mes, but disheveled and savage at others. In this marvelously macabre world, the player inhabits the silent shoes of protector/assassin Corvo Att ano right before he is framed for the murder of the empress of a royal family it was his very job to protect. Aft er Corvo manages to escape the soldiers he has walked and worked alongside for years, he is lead by a set of mysterious set of clues that lead him to a revoluti onary facti on willing to help him avenge the death of his empress in exchange for his grisly but calculated services. He agrees, and then Corvo’s grueling journey truly begins. Each and every aspect of this game is rich and in-depth. The art directi on, the character’s quirks and history, the plot, the weapons and armor and even the controls all come together and intertwine to weave a tapestry of gaming brilliance. This may sound a bit infl ated, but this game truly has a lot to off er. A multi -ti ered system for upgrading abiliti es and weapons, moving sub-plots, puzzle-solving, strategy, edge-of-your-seat acti on, hunti ng for hidden items and areas and did I menti on graceful decapitati on? On the downside, Dishonored is so multi -faceted that I feel it really takes away from the accessibility of the game. A few ti mes I found myself running around in circles aimlessly because there were so many things to do. I had a hard ti me focusing on just one. The melee combat system takes a bit to get used to but when you do, it is pure, ghastly glory. Dishonored takes a devoti on usually seen in moderate to extreme gamers but if you tough it out, this game will provide you with one of the most immersive experiences you have ever had with controller in hand. —Mr. Farthington

This game is rated ‘M’ for Mature due to Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes and Strong Language.
