Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 286: insistent flavor
As we attempt to shake off the last vestiges of the long weekend's tryptophan coma, a slew of outsize personalities sail into the city to ensure we snap to attention — whether we want to or not. Grime's pint-sized poster girl Lady Sovereign drops dis-tastic tracks at the Knitting Factory while ex-Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman Anton Newcombe (yeah, the crazy guy from Dig!) pops up at both the new Shindig! party and at the Secret Machines gig with Annie. Past Flavorpill contributor Kóan Jeff Baysa rounds up a vocal crew of artists for the leftfield d'Afrique d'Asie show, and the quietly magnetic actor Tony Leung garners a deserved film series at BAM. Meanwhile, the murder of the flamboyant filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini is explored in a new play by Michel Azama, MoMA gives documentarians the Maysles brothers a full retrospective, and nutty Norah Jones-baiter Nellie McKay mesmerizes audiences at Makor. And don't let the umlaut put you off, German duo Funkstörung have enough personality (and acid techno) to pack the Guggenheim's rotunda with infectious energy at our own First Friday event this week. Wake up your senses, and spread it...

Celebrated French playwright Michel Azama's staged investigation of the events that led to the brutal murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini 30 years ago rings eerily current. This past May, Pasolini's imprisoned alleged killer retracted his confession, which prompted a re-opening of the investigation and supported the widely held belief that the controversial Italian filmmaker's death was the result of a political conspiracy. Azama revels in the play's simplicity, wisely choosing to focus on just Pasolini and a handful of other characters as he leads the audience through scenes of courts and courtship, interspersed with dramatic monologues and soliloquies that highlight the openly gay filmmaker's artistic passion and disillusionment — and his eventual betrayal by his contemporaries.

Shark Attack feat. DJ Clever w/ Ezekiel Honig & Morgan Packard, Giles Dickerson, and Puzzled
|
|
New York can't claim to dominate any specific electronic-music scene, but tonight provides ample evidence of the city's overall musical depth and quality. Puzzled start things off on a live contempo-classical bent, before Giles Dickerson plays selector for a reggae set spanning from Yard's roots to Germany's digi-dub. Ezekiel Honig's releases best embody the nuanced, headphone techno of the Microcosm Music label, and tonight's live set with Morgan Packard recreates the spare, warm beauty of their recent Early Morning Migration. Finally, as a producer, DJ, and label boss of Offshore Recordings, Clever helps steer drum 'n bass away from funkless insularity via a polyrhythmic, micro-pop mentality, with a range of influences that hearken back to the genre's early spirit of experimentation. (JL)
 Push the genre's envelope: minimalize microhouse and describe the new sound. The four most forward-thinking responses each win a copy of Honig & Packard's Early Morning Migration.

Robots presents Pier Bucci w/ Damian Lazarus

In various guises (Monne Automne, Skipsapiens, Mambotur), Pier Bucci has quietly honed his craft through collaborations with Chile-based compadres such as Luciano, racking up envelope-pushing tracks while furthering his homeland's claim as techno's new world. Bucci's brilliant solo release Familia weaves intricately clipped micro-rhythms, ethereal vocals, and fluid, refractive melodies into what is arguably the year's best electronic-music album. For tonight's rare US performance, he performs live on hardware, along with DJ Damian Lazarus, whose Crosstown Rebels imprint released Familia. (MG)

|
|
It is sobering to realize that Baltimore's troubled, black male middle-school students' best shot at securing a decent education is to be shipped to a Kenyan bush-country school, but The Boys of Baraka is not a uniformly somber film. Directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady forgo the standard documentary's statistical song-and-dance and let the boys, in hilarious, wrenching conversations with each other and their mostly matriarchal families, discover for themselves hedgehogs, previously untapped potential, and daunting emotional and cultural baggage. The result conveys a guardedly optimistic and wildly moving postcard: sometimes a village can save a child, even if he's from a big, abandoned city. (LR)

Lady Sovereign w/ Ghislain Poirier
|
|
Though she isn't tall enough for every amusement park ride, Lady Sovereign sounds and acts big, prerequisites for any sort of hip-hop success. In fact, beyond the 4'11" Lil' Kim, Lady Sovereign is arguably the best little rapper around (how tall is Paul Wall anyway?). Rumors abound of Def Jam deals and Pharrell collabs, and her latest single, "Hoodie," with its playful, taunting cadence and unmistakable bounce, suggests that all of these things might be true — it is, at core, grime's "Milkshake." The just-released Vertically Challenged EP collects Sov's singles to date ("Hoodie" was too late for the party, but can be found "around"), including the unstoppable "Ch Ching." (YS)

Like the beautiful love child of Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, and Joan Chen, Hong Kong film star Tony Leung embodies a heady combination of brooding manhood, old-school elegance, and slow-burning salaciousness. Although many an American discovered Leung via recent collaborations with Wong Kar-wai in In the Mood for Love and its reprise, 2046, he's been burning up screens overseas since the early '90s. BAM distills the actor's oeuvre to a dozen essentials here, including his turn as a hit man in John Woo's battle-strewn plotboiler Hard Boiled, a role as a deaf mute in Hou Hsiao-hsien's thoughtful politico-family drama City of Sadness, and pairing with Leslie Cheung in the achingly gorgeous Happy Together.

Secret Machines w/ Annie and DJ Anton Newcombe
|
|
The Secret Machines' rise to indie-rock stardom was so serendipitous they should consider themselves blessed. After their turn-of-the-century conception in Dallas and a subsequent move to Brooklyn, the Machines built a following through epic loft party performances, eventually garnering press-darling status after their first major release and a successful national tour with the Kings of Leon. Karma has worked overtime for this spacey, neo-psych trio and tonight they aim to share their good fortune with this benefit for the victims of the Gulf Coast disaster. Joining in the fundraiser for Mercy Corps are Norwegian electro-pop sensation Annie and Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe. (JB)

Transamerica |
|
|
With her hip shimmy, throaty murmur, and lavender scarves, Transamerica's Felicity Huffman summons the exaggerated femininity that only a transgendered person can pull off in this day and age. So thoroughly does she transform herself into male-to-female transsexual Bree Osbourne that it takes a while to register the nuanced performance supplanting what could've been a mere gimmick. It's a process that underscores why, when prickly Bree learns she has an otherwise-orphaned street hustler son, she grudgingly shuttles him across the country without ever revealing her true self. It's also why this precarious road-trip formula never devolves into sitcom ham. (LR)

Making quiet pop with avant sensibilities, Morr Music's Berlin-based Masha Qrella breathes her lyrics over acoustic and synthesized instruments. Musically, Qrella's sound vacillates between a slow-motion electronic groove and lyrical folksiness, somehow never straying far from either. Meanwhile, her voice floats, dreamlike, just above the music, singing of shared moments, past mistakes, and writing in snow. Tonight, Qrella performs as part of a trio, with guitar and keyboard support. Like the equilibrium struck by her music itself, expect both performance and repose, progressive and folk sensibilities, reliance on both technology and human frailty — a perfect balance. (AD)

Loose Record and SESAC presents the End of the World w/ the Big Sleep and LEVY
|

LEVY's melodies might be tinged with melancholy longing, but lead singer James Levy's deft songwriting and Morrissey-esque crooning are reasons to celebrate. Once thought to be banished to middling states and northern climes, lush, lyrical indie pop experiences a local resurgence tonight, courtesy of organizers Loose Record and SESAC. Raise your glass and christen new LES hotspot Fat Baby (from those hipper-than-thous who brought you Carlos D.-central, the Dark Room), as you vacillate between getting washed away in opener LEVY's ardor, or swept onto the dance floor by the Big Sleep's tight, urgent psych rock. Stick around for Brooklyn headliners the End of the World, whose style falls between the two openers — with plaintive vocals and hooks galore. (LT)

Munich duo Funkstörung built their reputation on glitch-heavy IDM, stuttering hip-hop bricolage, and a truly transcendent remix for Björk's "All Is Full of Love," before a slight lapse on last year's Disconnected, which occasionally sacrificed fire for a stab at "mature" vocals and arrangements. But now, Chris De Luca and Michael Fakesch take it back to the squelchy morass from which they emerged — in a word, acid. Their recent, vinyl-only LP, The Return to the Acid Planet, provides a sonic template for their current tour, and demonstrates how far they've moved forward by looking back. Tonight, they rock the house that Wright built with a live set, surrounded by 800 years of Russian art, for Flavorpill's continuing First Fridays series. (TW/JL)

With all his parties running full-steam, now is the perfect time to share this underground neo-soul gem, and tonight is the night to celebrate its release with Medina and his many talented friends.

Anticipating the nationwide premiere of Hollywood-star vehicle Memoirs of a Geisha, this screening of director Tatsumi Kumashiro's 1973 under-the-radar masterpiece undresses romantic idealizations of Japan's "Floating World." Noted for bringing the potent imagery of erotic shunga woodblock prints to life, and banned after its release for explicit content, The World of Geisha is a standout example of the "pink film" genre's use of scintillating sexual subplots to address broader political agendas. Set in 1918 and laced with imagery sourced from archival photographs of ethnic Korean uprisings and other social unrest, the plot follows an experienced geisha as she twists and turns her way through the socio-political tensions of a tumultuous era.

Iron & Wine w/ Calexico
|
|
The Southwest moseyed through eastern territory when the long-planned collaboration of Arizona's Calexico and Florida's Iron & Wine finally materialized on the recent joint EP In the Reins — a full-bodied blend of sun-kissed, mariachi-tinged border rock and swampy indie folk. I&W's Sam Beam provides the song structure and whispery, languid melodies of lost love, while Calexico founders Joey Burns and John Convertino broaden the compositions with dusky, Spaghetti Western alt-country. The mix is potent — hold on to your heart strings. (MS)

|

Say what you will about MF Doom's supposed menace, but as far as underground hip-hoppers go, the masked MC's still got a certain comic book cuteness. The MCs in Cannibal Ox however, are straight evil. Vordul Megilah and Vast Aire, longtime rhyme-spitters from the New York underground, are massive talents who devour rappers with their sharply worded diatribes. They surfaced in 2001 with The Cold Vein, a slab of brilliantly gloomy hip-hop produced by El-P. This tour is in anticipation of a recently announced follow-up album, due in 2006, featuring guest producers RZA and Pete Rock. Just thinking about how Megilah and Aire might use the ammunition supplied by these stellar beatmakers is frightening. (PCS)

Nellie McKay
|
|
Nellie McKay is about as anomalous as they come. The outspoken singer/songwriter was still a teen when she recorded her ridiculously mature debut, last year's Norah Jones-baiting double album Get Away From Me. It revealed a stunning new talent with one foot in the '50s, the other in the 21st century, and a head full of sardonic wit and mile-a-minute wordplay. The extremely left-leaning young artist quickly became almost as well-known for her bordering-on-loony stage banter as her piano-based performances. Tonight, rediscover what it means to truly deserve the label "showbiz personality" as she plays with a full band in support of her upcoming sophomore release, Pretty Little Head. (DL)

For d'Afrique d'Asie, curator Kóan Jeff Baysa rounds up artists with African and/or Asian heritage to explore unlikely hybridizations in video, painting, sculpture, and photography. Here, gangster geishas epitomize Japanese youths' obsession with American hip-hop, while black artists seek inspiration from sumo wrestling, Buddhism, and Chinese calligraphy. Bernard Williams paints a black soldier in Vietnam using colors dripping with pathos, Sanford Biggers films himself being ritualistically sheared of his dreadlocks while meditating in the forest, and Korean Young W. Lee makes a metaphor of the enticing, at times explosive, Afro-Asian encounter in an unconventionally steamy video showing the artist and her African-American husband wrestling each other back into their clothes.

Maysles Films: Five Decades
|
|
Pioneers of the direct cinema movement — the American version of cinema vérité — brothers Albert and David Maysles relied on chance, trying to capture their subjects in an un-directed, laissez-faire manner. David died in 1987, but Albert continues to collaborate with other filmmakers and produce work under the Maysles Films banner. This month, MoMA recognizes the duo's impact on the documentary genre with a retrospective that includes such classics as Grey Gardens (1976), a trippy portrait of Jackie O's eccentric cousins, The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter, focusing on the band's infamous 1969 tour, and Christo's Umbrellas (1994), which documents the Gates' Christo and Jean-Claude as they realize another of their monumental art projects.

Amidst the past year's barrage of worldwide natural disasters, the ever-rising body count in Iraq, and the avian bird flu hullabaloo, it's been easy to forget about global problems so long-standing that they no longer make headlines. However, the continued spread of HIV/AIDS, particularly on the African continent, and increasingly in Russia and Central Asia, remains a pressing crisis. This Thursday, December 1st, is World AIDS Day, a time to refocus our attention toward this international health problem and strive for increased awareness and response. Get the facts on the virus from Know HIV/AIDS, as well as easy access to testing locations (and dope art from the Barnstormers) via affiliate site Spread the Know.

CD REVIEW: Vashti Bunyan, Lookaftering |
|
|
Fat Cat
Released October 2005
$14.99 (Insound)
|
If Vashti Bunyan's now-canonized debut, Just Another Diamond Day, was an exposition on her desire to walk a free, unencumbered path, Lookaftering is her notation of a life so lived. Composed some 35 years after Bunyan left music to pursue the wandering, agrarian lifestyle she'd earlier posited, this new record employs slow-arcing, minimalist folk arrangements to propel her warm, acoustic melodies. Her voice, however sweet, retains the haunting, melancholic edge that defined Diamond Day's ghostly ambiance. Bunyan's sage-like ruminations on the boons and burdens of life ring eerily, bestowed with a great, universal weight. Robert Kirby (famous for his work with Nick Drake) lends sparse string arrangements, and Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom also guest. Even so, Lookaftering remains Bunyan's alone, the proud culmination of the long, celebrated folk career that, sadly, she never actually had. (AP)
