Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 261: whimsical flavor
Every so often the bustle and grime of the city become too much, and we decide to wander the streets half-cocked to see things anew with the wonder of a child. This week, we log some serious air miles traveling to the land of whimsy with an array of un-serious fare: a new animated film from Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, a toy theatre festival, a dalliance with Mr. T dolls, and three days of sketch comedy at UCBT. But since escapism offers its own dangers, we suggest sobering up afterwards with SVA's Design of Dissent exhibition, the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, and Elizabeth Heyert's funereal photographs. Open your eyes, and spread it...

The 27th Museum Mile Festival kicks off at the Goethe-Institut where Planet Football, a photo show prelude to World Cup 2006, is on view. Hop over to fanciful highlights such as Sol LeWitt's Splotches, Whirls and Twirls on the Met's rooftop; the Guggenheim's equally colorful installation The Eye of the Storm by Daniel Buren; and the Jewish Museum's Wild Things: The Art of Maurice Sendak. For a more grounding tour, peruse Neue Galerie's Portraits of an Age: Photography in Germany and Austria, 1900-1938 and El Museo del Barrio's Mexico: The Revolution and Beyond, Photographs by Casasola 1900-1940. Once you tire of the galleries, there are plenty of open-air sights in the shape of street performers, self-promoting artists, and spectators on a Fifth Avenue open only to pedestrians. (CN)

Ever since the NEA's inflammatory 2004 report about the decline of reading, the literary community has masochistically clung to Chicken Little proclamations that the end of an era is nigh. To combat such apocalyptic sentiments, writer and critic Kevin Smokler assembled a group of writers, all of whom came of professional age during the reign of newer media, to write essays on literature's continued relevance for his new collection, Bookmark Now: Writing in Unreaderly Times. Tonight, Smokler and a handful of his contributors — The Hipster Handbook author Robert Lanham, Elliott Smith biographer Ben Nugent, former Gawker editrix Elizabeth Spiers, and Around the Bloc author Stephanie Elizondo Griest — all read. Because people still do that, you know. (JKG)

Diplo w/ Spankrock
|
|
Diplo and Spankrock definitively prove there's a lot going on in that weird cultural space between New York and D.C. Spankrock tossed the hip-hop rule book out the window and relearned how to party on Baltimore's dirty dance floors, chopping up crunk, electro, punk rock, and general bass nastiness with undeniably raucous results. Diplo's various mixes with Hollertronix and M.I.A., as well as his studio effort Florida, explore the parameters of 21st century ghetto-funk, and it's thanks to the Philly don that Spank found a home on Ninja Tune sister label Big Dada.

We rarely sit back and analyze the subtleties, but jokes, gags, and puns can strike us as either funny ha-ha, pee-your-pants funny, or shut-the-f*ck-up funny. Turns out, laughter is no simple laughing matter [insert disdainful groan here]. This multimedia event inspired by Cabinet magazine's current Laughter issue includes a PowerPoint presentation by artist Luke Murphy clarifying the relationship between laughter and other emotional states, a lecture by philosopher Simon Critchley on the theories of humor, and Samuel Beckett's sole foray into film — a pointedly unfunny short starring comedic genius Buster Keaton. Serious laughter required. (SP)
What was the last thing that made you pee your pants laughing? Our favorite response of 50 words or less wins a pair of tickets to the event.

Seattle comedy vet Josh Knisely formed the sketch troupe Hypnagogia! in order to act out absurd elements of his dreams. Tonight they perform in NYC's premiere SketchFest, along with established greats like San Francisco comedy collective Killing My Lobster and emerging comics like LES hipsters the Whitest Kids U Know. Hosted by the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, the festival promises sharp, crass, insider humor. If performers Becky & Noelle — a comedic coupling both deadpan and frighteningly perky — are any indication, it will cater to savvy and silly alike. (LC)

For all you fools out there who still worship Mr. T, church is in session. In his trademark mohawk and gold chains, he delivered homilies and kicked establishment butt as B.A. (Bad Attitude) Baracus on The A-Team. Long off the air, Mr. T's tough-love persona still inspires generations of fans and tons of memorabilia. One example of this pop cultural booty is the "soft sculpture" doll, homemade following the officially licensed pattern of T created by Miss Martha Originals. Greg Rivera and Mike Essl, purveyors of the world's largest collection of Mr. T tchotchkes, present over 150 of their unique vintage dolls tonight. Pity the fool who misses it. (NH)

Yes, you must grow up, but no one ever mentions that you also need to lapse back into adolescence every once in a while. The good folks at the Wiener Philharmonic offer a brief sophomoric jaunt that's guilt-free and fun. The local sketch comedy troupe appropriately takes over Juvie Hall to present its randy new show, tackling travel, vacations, and otherworldly trips. Life will presumably return to normal immediately following the performance, whereupon words like "jejune" can be used to dismiss the experience. (SP)
The members of the Wiener Philharmonic met at what colleges? Third correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.

Juana Molina
|
|
Apparently becoming the most celebrated television comedienne in Argentina wasn't enough for Juana Molina — spending her summers with Latin musicians like Vinicius de Moraes and Chico Buarque gave her a taste for music as well. Incorporating guitar, electronic soundscapes, and her own vocals, Molina's singular style leans toward innocence while dabbling in experimental textures. Hailed as one of the top ten pop albums of 2004 by the New York Times, her third full-length, Tres Cosas (Domino), has earned the artist recognition both abroad and back home. (KS)
Note: Ghazal singer Kiran Ahluwalia celebrates her self-titled debut at an earlier show at Joe's (7:30pm), $15.
Which member of Juana Molina's family was responsible for introducing her to television work? The second correct answer wins a pair of tickets to tonight's show.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Record Release Party
|
|
When surrounded on all sides, it's not easy for a rock band to resist the city's urban grit — let alone to opt for the pastoral, the gently swaying, or (heaven forbid) the awkwardly in love — but just our luck, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have endless restraint. The quintet tosses its skewed twee pop into an art-rock spin cycle, evoking the Clean fronted by an out-of-breath David Byrne. At tonight's glee-fest, CYHSY finally release their debut, a self-titled homage to the Pastels — the band and the color scheme — with vintage keyboards a-whirring behind tumble-down-the-hill acoustic strums, rhythm section a-chugging like the Little Engine That Could, and frontman Alec Ounsworth's weird, barely contained wail. (TG)
What's your favorite thing to do when you're happy and you know it? Our four favorite answers each win a pair of tickets to this show, as well as copies of CYHSY's CD.

Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle
|
|
From the ever-fertile imagination of Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) comes the next must-see anime flick. An 18-year-old girl named Sophie is transformed into a 90-year-old woman by a strange curse cast by the Witch of Waste. In order to reverse the curse, she takes passage on a flying castle and encounters a myriad of strange characters in a world that is half a child's dream and half the harsh reality of a world at war. Already a blockbuster in Japan, the American theatrical release features voice dubbing by Emily Mortimer, Christian Bale, Lauren Bacall, and Billy Crystal. (JCF)
Note: MoMA is also holding a retrospective of Miyazaki's work, along with that of Isa Takahata, throughout the month of June.

Long before imagination atrophied in the blitzkrieg of constant stimulation and toys became terrifyingly mimetic small American girls, children had to make do with the land of make-believe. Thus, in the 18th century, toy theatre — or more precisely, paper theatre — was born. For tuppence, children could buy their own cut-out prosceniums, sets, and heroic characters. Mozart, Goethe, and Prokofiev all composed works performed on the miniature stage. Tonight the tradition continues with a more modern focus as this ten-day festival brings theatre companies from around the world and their card-stock characters. Highlights include a critique of American foreign policy in El Salvador, a hagiography of St. Francis of Assisi (performed by an authentic Franciscan monk), and the life story of tranny pioneer Christine Jorgensen.

LCD Soundsystem w/ the Juan Maclean
|
|
Through the release of (and subsequent racket surrounding) his era-defining disco-punk 12-inches, DFA's James Murphy has earned a rep as indie's best producer. And rightly so — this dude's got encyclopedic music knowledge, impeccable taste, and a freakish attention to detail. But he's committed to keeping the studio separate from the stage, and live, Murphy fronts an LCD Soundsystem band that includes members of !!! and Out Hud to ensure full-blown rock. The resulting performances have proven legendary, putting Murphy's Krautrock influences front and center. DFA/Astralwerks doesn't release the Juan Maclean's long-awaited debut, Less Than Human, until July, so get an early scoop on their eclectic mix of Kraftwerkian synths, tech house, and '70s funk.

From Hong Kong to Taipei to Shanghai, Asian City Films presents portraits of modern life in urban settings from the continent's best directors. Standouts include Chinese filmmaker Lou Ye's Vertigo-echoing debut Suzhou River (2001), a stylish thriller replete with cold neo-noir narrator, Escher-like plot constructs, and skittish jump-cuts. Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien offers the richly shot urban angst piece Millennium Mambo (2001) and the quietly killing Ozu tribute Café Lumière (2004). From fellow countryman Edward Yang, there's the epic modern life portrait Yi Yi (2000), Altman-like in its narrative breadth, and from Thailand, the Chris Doyle-filmed Last Life in the Universe (2003), a beautifully inscrutable almost-love story. Of course, one can't overlook the towering influence of Wong Kar-wai — his Fallen Angels (1995) schools us in city style. (JKG)

Vice Records' recent Run the Road grime comp may finally have the American mainstream music press looking to the UK for more than wannabe rock stars. But an ever-growing contingent of local Anglophiles has been importing the rolling bass lines, rough, underground London beats, and scattershot rhymes to the East Village since the decline of R&B-flavored two-step/garage. DJ Dinesh and his Goldspot crew bring the party into the daylight with a free Notting Hill-style sound system in Tompkins Square Park, complete with MC Deadly Crisis to keep the massive jumping. Greg Poole, Eddie Stats, and Benny III provide an aural melting pot of house, garage, bhangra, reggaeton, crunk, and of course... wot do u call it? (AC)

Cheb i Sabbah spins La Kahena
|
|
Since exhausting the sonic pantheon of classical India with his luxurious trilogy, Algerian-born DJ Cheb i Sabbah rediscovers his homeland's malouf music on La Kahena (Six Degrees). Focusing on North African female vocalists — including Morocco's B'net Marrakech and Casablanca's Nadia — Sabbah tweaks Gnawa and Arabic folk with gorgeous digital textures. This night at the recently relaunched Kush serves as his record release. Sabbah never steps to the decks without plenty of raï and bhangra, so dancing is a given. (DB)
Gnawa's popularity surged after which legendary rock band admitted its influence on their numerically titled album from 1970? The seventh through the eleventh correct responses each win a copy of Cheb i Sabbah's new CD.

Mobius Band w/ Winter Pageant and Grand National
|
|
In an era when many rock acts seem like carbon copies of their post-punk predecessors, Grand National have caught listeners' ears by eschewing revivalism in favor of developing a more unique, forward-thinking sound. Though the influence of New Order and the Police looms large, Londoners Rupert Lyddon and Lawrence "La" Rudd rely on their rock roots less as a blueprint than as a springboard into uncharted territory. On their debut, Kicking the National Habit, the duo employ angular bass lines, ska-inflected trumpets, electronic synth melodies, and introspective lyrics to craft blissful pop. Grand National capture their lusciously layered sound by playing live as a six-piece ensemble. (JJ)
Note: Grand National open, and are followed by spacey art rockers Winter Pageant and excellent post-rock/electro-indie headliners Mobius Band. GN also play the Mercury Lounge on Mon 6.13 (8:30pm).

Half-Cocked is best known for its soundtrack, featuring '90s lo-fi band the Grifters and riot grrrl math rockers Ruby Falls. The film chronicles the naissance of Truckstop, a band born of Gen-X boredom and timeless rock star aspirations. After jacking a van laden with another band's equipment, a group of friends bluff their way into playing a local club. Because the band has no material, and none of its members play instruments, their musical signature quickly becomes volume and distortion. Don't miss this rare chance to see Ian Svenonious (Nation of Ulysses, the Make-Up, Weird War, et al) and Tara Jane O'Neil lead the cast down the glorious road of rock 'n roll destitution. (MP)
Note: Directors Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky attend this 10th anniversary screening.

Architecture in Helsinki w/ the Lilys and Head of Femur
|
|
The capricious pop of Aussie combo Architecture in Helsinki is true to its orchestral form. Their xylophone, recorder, trumpet, flute, multiple guitars, various drums, and assorted synths are arranged into a jaunty symphony complete with lopsided melodies. Despite the absence of the numerous guest musicians on In Case We Die, this charming ensemble makes good use of their audience's rhythmic potential — toe tapping just might be mandatory. Not to be outdone, the lush compositions of opening Chicago octet Head of Femur are less a novelty than a labor of love. Each pedigreed member moonlights for indie-rock heavyweights including Bright Eyes, Hella, and the Sea and Cake. (IB)
Note: AiH and HoF also play Northsix on Mon 6.13 (9pm).

Campbell Brothers w/ John Medeski

The sacred steel movement, which mixes gospel with the slippery twang and bite of steel guitars, grew out of the House of God church, escaping mainstream attention for years. But the triple axe attack of the Campbell Brothers, on pedal and lap steel guitars, as well as the standard electric, aims to reach an audience beyond their Rush, NY home base. Even the secular among us have something to clap and stomp about when their rafter-raising revival gets rolling, and tonight, joined by keyboardist/convert John Medeski (who produced their forthcoming release), they make a joyful noise, preaching to more than just the choir.

La Buena Musica feat. Prince Paul w/ Mr. Len
|
|
Prince Paul has been tagging his open-minded goofball aesthetic across the hip-hop landscape for over a decade now. Not one to shy from the dubious acclaim earned by inventing the rap record skit, he's devoted most of his catalogue to elaborations of the blunted comedic interludes. Paul's new Itstrumental is an endearingly half-assed collection of dance hall odes to donuts, miserable come-ons, and studio bloopers-cum-songs — which is way more fun than it sounds. Since backpacker wet dream Company Flow disbanded, founding member and DJ Mr. Len's output has been sporadic, but trust his selection to mine both classics and deep cuts of Rawkus-minded wax. Tonight's undie contingent is in for a boom-bap blessing. (JL)

From the agitprop posters of the Soviet avant-garde artists to Dada collages, political commentary in art has a trenchant place in our tumultuous recent history. In a similar vein, this show remarks on contemporary politics through graphic design material from all over the world. The issues at hand have filled the devious minds of politicians for decades and are now reinterpreted and presented through clever visual commentaries; for example, Copper Greene's iRaq shows an infamous Abu Ghraib image in the form of the iconic iPod ad. Curated by Mirko Ilic and the legendary Milton Glaser, this exhibition is a loud and imperative statement about the eclectic nature of protest for the activist and art aficionado alike. (JF)

Of all the cinematic extravaganzas that grace our fair city, the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, now in its 16th year, is the most conscientious. Co-presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the HRWIFF showcases stories that celebrate the human spirit — in its strongest and frailest of states. Among this year's collection of 26 powerful and provocative films are The Liberace of Baghdad, a BBC documentary that shows post-Saddam Baghdad through the eyes of once-famous pianist Samir Peter, Seoul Train, about the underground railroad in China set up to aid North Korean refugees, and festival opener State of Fear, that examines the fall of Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori.

Elizabeth Heyert takes beautiful portraits of people dressed in their Sunday best: elderly women in satin party dresses, men in white suits festooned with Masonic regalia, young boys wearing the sports uniforms of their heroes. Set against a serene black background, her subjects are ready to attend the party of their lives — in paradise. Tackling multiple taboos with her sensitive camera, Heyert spent over a year visiting a Harlem funeral home specializing in old-style Southern Baptist burials to capture some final poses. What sounds like a frightful encounter is actually an exuberant celebration of culture, community, and lives lived. (JK)

INDIE UPDATE: Loose Record |

A clever play on words, but don't believe the misnomer — nothing in the indie world slips past the team at Loose Record. The web-based pub combines (mostly) indie record reviews with interviews and tour dates sorted by band, venue, or city — handing you back those hours wasted on venue sites and long-winded rock reviews (kinda like another online rag we know). The boundless ambition at Loose Record even fuels a ticker tape of breaking rock news, so word of festival mayhem and frontman meltdown gets to readers ASAP. The focus, though, is really on the live component, and previews of upcoming shows are a specialty of Loose's. Check out what's not to be missed for that evening, then click on the blog of Loose's leading man for last night's rowdy recaps. (ELM)

CD REVIEW: Ellen Allien, Thrills |
|
|
Bpitch Control
Released June 2005
$14.99 (Amazon)
|
As Bpitch Control's roster becomes more varied, pegging the label's personality to founder Ellen Allien becomes less tenable — but her propulsive Thrills still anchors the divergent strains of techno, electro, and hip-hop that make Bpitch one of Berlin's most consistent imprints. Gone are the pop flirtations of 2003's Berlinette; her third LP is her darkest and hardest yet. The tones of Allien's Ebay-scavenged Arp 2600 lend the album its nervous, buzzing energy, while pummeling, overdriven beats pave the way through the rave's grittiest hours.
Berlinette drew listeners into Allien's melodic web, and her mix CDs proved her rhythmic dexterity, but Thrills' hypnotic séance fuses the two into a virulent strain of techno that outshines most of her peers — in gloomy, purplish blacklight. (NP/PS)
 Ellen recently appeared on the cover of which San Francisco-based magazine? The ninth correct answer wins a Thrills prize pack.
