Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 267: strong-arm flavor



As the cyclists of the Tour de France wend their way to the close of the race's rural route, culminating in a final sprint down the Champs-Élysées, we salute (from our living rooms) the brute athleticism of those willing to kill themselves to live. Every week in NYC is its own cultural odyssey, and this one is no different. You can visit with hippie death cults, endure 58 hours of comedy, experience Aphex Twin's work in a newly orchestrated format, witness Corey Feldman reinterpreting an '80s potboiler, or just settle in for some campfire tales. Hustle over to enter our Flavorpack Contest, live strong, and spread it...

 

flavorpill is an email magazine covering a hand-picked selection of music, art, and cultural events — delivered each Tuesday afternoon.


 


Sooo fast doesn't mean "fast".
Surprised? Well it doesn't. It may sound fast. It may look fast. Man, it may even say "fast". But it's not about being fast. That said, it's not about being slow either. Sooo fast isn't about speed at all. Curious eh? Click for enlightenment.

Tinariwen

links: Event Info | Tinariwen

Libya's mercurial leader, Muammar Qaddafi, is known for a lot of things — but music certainly isn't one of them. However, during the Touareg insurgency against the Malian government, a few nomadic warriors in the Colonel's rebel camps formed a band that they named Tinariwen, meaning "empty spaces." These nationless rebels drew inspiration from their struggles against repression, exploitation, and disenfranchisement, blending traditional and modern elements to create a new style of protest music known as Tishoumaren. Urgent, yet timeless, Tinariwen's music has been banned in Mali, as well as Algeria, to where the Touareg people have been exiled. Let their call to arms rouse your spirit tonight. (SNS/GM)

Note: Tinariwen also performs at Joe's Pub on Wed 7.20.



DANCE
Shen Wei Dance Arts

when: Tue 7.19 & Sat 7.23 (8pm), Sun 7.24 (7pm)
where: New York State Theater at Lincoln Center (65th St & Broadway, 212.945.0505) map
price: $45
links: Event Info | Shen Wei Dance Arts

At last year's Lincoln Center Festival, the Shen Wei Dance Arts company stunned audiences as they leaped, tumbled, and twirled in impossibly precise and athletic contortions across a canvas-covered floor, using hands and feet as paintbrushes. Fusing the traditions of Chinese opera with avant-garde movement and visual art, Shen Wei produces an entirely unique dance form in which East meets West and the cold mathematics of choreographers like Merce Cunningham are ameliorated by a love of performative theatre. Tonight, the troupe offers the world premiere of Map, with music from downtown legend Steve Reich, and introduces NYC to Near the Terrace Part I, a piece inspired by the work of surrealist painter Paul Delvaux. (JKG)

price:
links: Event Info | Kayrock | The International Male | Dynasty

Kayrock and Wolfy's posters and prints, manually silk-screened in their Brooklyn studio, have set the tone for the 21st century's downtown music and party scenes. They've led hipsters to the hottest happenings with a potent blend of street style, post-digital typography, and eclectic images. Currently presenting a special-edition portfolio of 13 archived prints at Jessica Murray Projects, the two have invited a few friends from along the way to play in the gallery space, making new posters for each performance. Tonight, catch booty-rockers the International Male and art-electro duo Dynasty while reliving treasured moments such as Cunts & Company at Siné (2003) (envisioned as a down-home bawdy Bush and crew) and The Last Luxx Poster Ever (2004). (AM)

Note: The exhibition continues through Fri 8.5 (Mon-Fri: 11am-6pm). The Joints and Turducken follow at the gallery space on Wed 7.27, and People of the North, Tiger Mountain, Battle Torn, and Ex Models close out the live series at the Frying Pan on Thur 7.28.

where: HERE Arts Center (145 6th Ave, 212.647.0202) map
price: $15
links: Event Info

HERE Arts Center's 16th edition of the American Living Room is a good reason for couch potatoes to check in on someone else's sofa for a change. Over 300 emerging artists are involved in 30 multidisciplinary productions developed in response to this year's theme: the Carousel of Progress in America. For the series, HERE decks out its space with the comforts of home — all the better to take in so many great performances, from a surreal meditation on Jack Kevorkian (K.), to a poetic exploration of the Internet (Organized Color Intoxication), to a tale of vampires caught in an existential crisis (Destruction). (SP)

  K. director Kenn Watt also headed up which Rude Mechanicals Theater Company production? The first four correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this performance.

FILM
Rural Route Film Festival

when: Thur 7.21 - Sun 7.24
where: Anthology Film Archives (32 2nd Ave, 212.505.5181) map
price: $8
links: Event Info

With beards back in and folk experiencing a new revival, we figure the sticks are the new city — which is what makes Rural Route Film's pumped up 2005 programming more essential than ever. Many of the shorts are inspired by songs from our favorite folkies, like Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Joanna Newsom ("The Sprout and the Bean," natch), and Bright Eyes, whose song gets the filmic treatment from Hedwig director Jonathan Cameron Mitchell. In the features category, Jim Jarmusch's classic Dead Man (1995) sees new life, an intriguing 1967 flick formerly titled Miss Jessica is Pregnant is unearthed, and director Katherine Lindberg presents her foray into American gothic, Rain (2001). (JKG)

  Which R. Kelly song did Bonnie "Prince" Billy recently cover with Matt Sweeney? The first three correct responses each win a pair of tickets to a screening.

Little Odysseys

when: Thur 7.21 (6-8pm)
where: Marianne Boesky Gallery (535 W 22 St, 212.680.9889) map
price:
links: Event Info

Weaving tales of mysterious oceanic adventures, Little Odysseys sails into the vast, boundless territory of the sea and its many creative possibilities, as curator Nicelle Beauchene uses hot young art stars to articulate the theme. Amidst the panoply of fresh works, Hernan Bas' intense paintings explore a fragile world of sexual desire and loneliness, underscored by figurative scenes rendered in dreamy washes; Rosson Crow combines a nostalgic interest in bygone times with the overwhelming presence of fractured, colorful modernity; Michael Arcega cleverly illustrates clashing cultural ideas; and Shaun O'Dell's delicate images reveal human complexities wrought with frustration. Come aboard the visual equivalent of a perfect maritime journey. (JF)

Note: The exhibit continues through Fri 8.26 (Mon-Fri: 10am-6pm).

FILM
Hustle & Flow (2005)

when: Opens Fri 7.22
where: Various locations
price: $10.50
links: Event Info

Set deep in a Memphis underbelly that's hot as a pickled pepper and twice as seamy, Hustle & Flow is unabashedly formulaic. It's also one of the few films to emerge this year that shows serious heart, which is how it transcended its plot limitations and set so many tongues a-flapping at Sundance. As DJay, a small-time pimp and wannabe rapper facing one doozy of a midlife crisis, Terrence Howard deserves the lion's share of the credit. He conveys his character's queasy ethics and dim wits without condescending or shrinking to them, letting us relax into the surprisingly gratifying rags-to-riches saga. (LR)



COMEDY
7th Annual Del Close Improv Marathon

when: Fri 7.22 - Sun 7.24 (schedule)
where: Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (307 W 26th St, 212.366.9176) & Abignon Theatre (312 W 36th St, 212.868.2055) map

For the seventh year running, the UCB Theatre pays tribute to Del Close, the grandaddy of improv, with a nonstop comedy procession. For 58 hours straight, bear witness to some of the best long-form work from performers across the country. In an endurance-testing fête of quick-wittedness taking place concurrently on three stages at the UCB and Abingdon Theatres. Among the rotation are UCB regular Mother: The Soundtrack, where the comedy is shaped by music from the audience; The Real Real World, directed by Paul Scheer and Charlie Todd, and inspired by MTV's breakthrough reality show; and a special performance by the original UCB castmates: Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh. (MB)

Ryan Elliott's Detroit-area residencies were instrumental in rekindling the region's techno nightlife. Fittingly, Spectral chose him to helm its retrospective megamix and tour, celebrating five years as Ghostly International's harder, faster imprint. (JL)

where: Parking lot at 28-10 Queens Plaza, LIC map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Lightning Bolt | Afrirampo | USAISAMONSTER | Japanther

Even if Lightning Bolt's mid-crowd antics are familiar by now, it's hard to resist a summertime parking lot show in Queens. Todd P, promoter of all music eclectic, brings together a monstrous ten-band lineup for this out-of-doors raucous rock fest. Up-and-coming Japanese duo Afrirampo join the Bolt, along with the prog-infused noise of USAISAMONSTER, !!!'s soul-funk-punk side project Free Blood, and the frenetically arhythmic bass and drum pair Eloe Omoe. The spastic, charismatic Japanther get the pit churning early with lo-fi artcore. (MS)

Note: Advance tickets are available only at Eat Records. Aa (BIG A little a), Parts & Labor, Growing, and Matt & Kim also perform.

  Which Brooklyn-by-way-of-Sacramento group is represented by the same record label as Japanther? The third and fourth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

when: Sat 7.23 (3-9pm)
where: P.S.1 (22-25 Jackson Ave, LIC, 718.784.2084) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | MU

Sure, the zany ramblings, bizarre chicken clucks, and unhinged swagger of "Paris Hilton" may have endeared them to the global dance floor crowd, but it's Mutsumi Kanamori and Maurice Fulton's unique blend of hardcore mutant funk that's solidified their street cred from Sheffield to Tokyo. On the married duo's sophomore album, Out of Breach (Manchester's Revenge), production-ace Fulton prods each track along with low-slung thumps, plumbing inky sonic depths for bass lines as vocalist Kanamori freezes the surface with her deadpan delivery and icy shrieks. Beats in Space host Tim Sweeney and Metro Area's Darshan Jesrani get the afternoon started behind the decks and under the sun in P.S.1's famed courtyard. (JJ)

  At which club does WNYU DJ Tim Sweeney perform at Friday nights? The fifth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this show.

where: Allen Room (5th Fl of Time Warner Building, Broadway at 60th St, 212.258.9800) map
price: $28
links: Event Info | Alarm Will Sound | Richard Devine

As a vanguard of electronic music, Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin) has entranced a wide range of fans, from braindancing IDM aficionados to avant-garde academics. Tonight, chamber orchestra Alarm Will Sound bridges these two worlds with acoustic interpretations of James' compositions, that are as compositionally compelling as the breathtaking technical and sonic wizardry for which he's known. Having already released an album of AFX works, Acoustica, AWS composer Stefan Freund now premieres a new arrangement, as Alan Pierson conducts, and the Twin's Warp labelmate Richard Devine mixes the ensemble's performance with the artist's original tracks. The results make for an emphatically 21st-century aural experience. (MG)

Note: Advance tickets are going fast, but a limited number are available the day of the performance.

when: Mon 7.25 (8pm)
where: Knitting Factory (74 Leonard St, 212.219.3132) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Gravy Train!!!!

Gravy Train!!!!'s electroclashy, lo-fi pop-hop derives most of its inspiration from raunchy sexual escapades, Courtney Love, fast food, and Peaches — in that order. Comprised of boys Junx and Hunx, and girls Funx and Chunx, the group offers lyrical gems such as, "She doesn't have the thick-ass Mexican thighs that I poss-ass." Currently supporting their sophomore album, Are You Wigglin'?, the Trainees beg you to don your fluorescent hot pants and baddest attitude tonight, with the caveat that, by the time they're finished, your ass "will be in a coma."

Note: Punky funks Veronica Lipgloss and V.I.P. open.

THEATRE
Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy

when: Now through Sat 8.27 (Tue-Thur: 8pm / Fri-Sat: 8 & 10:30pm / Sun: 6pm)
where: East 13th Street Theatre (136 E 13th St, 212.741.0391) map
price: $45-49.50
links: Event Info | Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy

The '80s strike again with a double whammy: Not only has the boiled-bunny classic Fatal Attraction turned into an Off-Broadway production, but it also stars none other than the decade's favorite Corey, Mr. Feldman himself. The rapid-fire parody incorporates various Greek tragedies and old-fashioned home-etiquette propaganda to tell the story of a corporate lawyer named Michael Douglas who cheats on housewife Anne Archer with working woman Glenn Close. The film's blatant stereotypes are exposed to hilarious effect, replete with kung fu-style action and a rousing rendition of the bathtub scene. Oh, and the bunny still gets poached. (SP)

  What's your favorite recipe involving rabbit? The most mouth-watering response wins a pair of tickets to the play, and two runners-up each win a Fatal Attraction t-shirt.



FILM
Anime!!

when: Now through Mon 9.5

price: $10
links: Event Info

On the heels of MoMA Film's Hayao Miyazaki/Isao Takahata pairing (which featured the US premiere of Howl's Moving Castle) comes Anime!!, an epic primer on Japan's animation phenomenon. Screening well-known standards like the apocalyptic Akira and cyberpunk Ghost in the Shell, Anime!! also includes lesser-known gems, from the hyperkinetic, genre-mashing Mind Game — still awaiting its stateside release — to rare 1970's TV episodes, such as Osamu Tezuka's twisted take on Disney, Marvelous Melmo. While anime and manga aesthetics are ubiquitous in popular culture today, influencing everything from Quentin Tarantino to skateboard design, Anime!! offers a chance to get acquainted with the original inspiration in a cinema setting, appealing to novice and otaku freak alike. (CYL)

  Which young actress provided the voice of Satsuki for the Disney version of Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro (1988)? The third correct response wins a pair of tickets to a screening of Akira.



ART
Francisco de Goya: Los Caprichos and Here Comes the Bogey-Man

when: Now through Sat 9.24 (Tue-Sat: 12-6pm / Thur: 12-8pm)
where: Chelsea Art Museum (556 W 22nd St, 212.255.0719) map
price: $6
links: Event Info | Los Caprichos

Los Caprichos, a series of 80 Goya etchings, catapults the viewer into a world where humans and demons coexist, the elderly wear death masks, spirits sneer at youths, and otherworldly creatures perform daily tasks. Complementary exhibit Here Comes the Bogey-Man, meanwhile, presents contemporary artists' responses to specific Goya etchings. The figures in Yasumasa Marimura's Three Women, Three Minds blur the distinction between human and inhuman established in Goya's Ruega por ella (Pray for Her). Roebling Hall artist Yun-Fei Ji and Chelsea School of Art lecturer Ray Smith offer more traditional interpretations, while Madeleine Hatz contributes the textured and abstract Burn, Baby Burn (Asmodea). Together, these intertwined exhibits, read as a cautionary tale represent hazards past, present, and ridiculous. (MV)

  WORLDWIDE COVERAGE: Health Equity Project  

While the G8 leaders debate African aid levels and crunch debt relief numbers from a decidedly macro perspective, it's also worth noting the people doing the actual legwork to address poverty, disease, and the spread of AIDS. The Health Equity Project is a US-based, all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that provides on-the-ground support in developing countries, helping facilitate access to medicine and quality healthcare providers. One of the most innovative initiatives is the group's recently launched healthcare program for sexual minorities, who are often denied treatment. Ghana is currently the test site for the program, which will expand to sub-Saharan Africa with adequate funding. For more information, check the recent BBC World Service story or visit HEP's website.

  STREAMS: BBC Collective  

The BBC Collective's stated intent is simple: to exchange views on new music, film, and culture. And what a job they do — the site is among the best on the web to get the scoop on forthcoming albums and preview full tracks, as well as participate in interactive discussions. This week, we have Gilles Peterson talkin' loud about his new African music compilation (with full tracks from Konono No.1 and Letta Mbulu), as well as the Juan Maclean on his new DFA release. Finally, Ninja Tune's Fink throws down a 60-minute DJ mix of the beats, breaks, and funk that we know and love from the imprint. (CJN)

  CD REVIEW: Fantômas, Suspended Animation  

Ipecac Recordings
Released April 2005
$14.99 (Amazon)

From the sound of Suspended Animation, it seems Mike Patton and his Fantômas supergroup have been battling yakuza clowns from outer space. The album's arsenal includes boings and splats from the Acme armory, Speak & Spell samples, steely and impossibly precise riffs from the Melvins' King Buzzo, whip-thrash blast-beats from Slayer's Dave Lombardo, bass and compositional derangement from Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn, and of course, the schizoid voice of fellow Bungler Patton himself. Fantômas' M.O. is always high-concept — on S.A., each track corresponds to a day in April, and the CD is packaged in a calendar illustrated by cutesy pop artist Yoshitomo Nara — but Patton remains able to make metalheads and Wire-reading dorks alike drop their shorts.
