Issue 299: statuesque flavor

With the Academy Awards on the horizon, the city is appropriately flushed with cinematic excitement: Eternal Sunshine director Michel Gondry takes us back to Dave Chappelle's massive 2004 Brooklyn block party; David Lynch's twisted classic, Blue Velvet, creeps into Film Forum for a big-screen run (with an appearance by Isabella to boot); lovable deviant John Waters lends his musings on Marguerite Duras; and the Oscars earn their own schtick-y send-up courtesy of Murray Hill. Even the ever-controversial Whitney Biennial — which you can preview with a curator discussion — gets in on the action, drawing its name from a François Truffaut film. This week's silver lining isn't limited to the screen, however. Music geeks can sit in on a post-punk chat with scribe Simon Reynolds, hear Serena Maneesh serenade them with shoegazer symphonies, or the Clipse kick trapper tales. Plus, Flavorpill and the Guggenheim's celebrated First Fridays series returns with Carlos D. Save the speech, and spread it...

 

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

DISCUSSION
John Waters hosts Marguerite Duras' Le Camion (1977)

when: Tue 2.28 (7pm)
where: Florence Gould Hall (55 E 59th St, 212.355.6100) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | Marguerite Duras | John Waters

This evening concludes the French Institute Alliance Française's month-long valentine to the work of the late, great revolutionary French novelist, screenwriter, and director Marguerite Duras. After penning the Academy Award-nominated screenplay for Alain Resnais' Hiroshima mon amour (1959), Duras climbed into the director's chair, helming 19 films including Les Enfants (1984) and India Song (1975). When asked about her celluloid endeavors, Duras said, "I approach cinema with the intention to murder it." Tonight, director John Waters presents her 1977 Cannes Film Festival entry Le Camion, which stars herself and Gerard Depardieu. Following the screening, Film Comment's Kent Jones and Waters discuss Duras, covering such topics as why Todd Tomorrow's art-house drive-in featured "Marguerite Duras from dusk till dawn." (MB)

price: $10
links: Event Info | Nicolai Dunger | Mercury Rev

Nicolai Dunger, fondly nicknamed the "Swedish Van Morrison," shelved his guitar and collaborated with Mercury Rev to produce the release Here Is My Song You Can Have It...I Don't Want It Anymore/Yours 4-Ever, Nicolai Dunger. Forged in the double-crucible of relationship heartbreak and his mother's death, Dunger's eighth album includes instrumental contributions from Mercury Rev, whose rich, at times rollicking sound elevates Dunger's tender, bluesy crooning and his oft-melancholy songwriting. Tonight, members of Mercury Rev serve as Dunger's backing band. (FAY)

  Which eccentric British singer does Dunger claim is his biggest idol? The first correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.

price: $10
links: Event Info

The unfortunate turn of events captured in Rachel Boynton's documentary, Our Brand Is Crisis, exemplifies why American-style democracy doesn't always translate abroad. In Crisis, unpopular Bolivian presidential candidate Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada (aka Goni) hires James Carville and his marketing-savvy politicos to help him win Bolivia's highly contested 2002 presidential election. By American standards, Goni is a good liberal fighting for progressive capitalism, but his fellow citizens see him as a right-winger "selling off the country." The film follows the campaign as Carville's well-intentioned spin doctors sell what they see as bad-tasting but necessary medicine to the Bolivian people. In the end, the only clear winner is Boynton, for her selection of riveting, timely material and her vigilant, nonpartisan approach. (MB)

Note: There is a Q&A with filmmaker Rachel Boynton following tonight's 8:20pm screening.

Iannis Xenakis: La Légende d'Eer (2004)

where: Anthology Film Archives (32 2nd Ave, 212.505.5181) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | Iannis Xenakis

Back when Laser Floyd was invading your local planetarium, Paris' Centre Georges-Pompidou commissioned avant-garde composer and sometime architect Iannis Xenakis to stage a multimedia presentation using light and electroacoustics for its 1977 opening. Incorporating photos taken at the time, Bruno Rastoin's film of Xenakis' La Légende d'Eer is both a document of that performance and a gorgeous, impressionistic work unto itself. Using mathematically interwoven electronics, percussion, and other instruments, including an African Jew's harp, Xenakis' seven-track composition is devastatingly precise and as grand and absorbing as it is bellicose. Taking its title from a Platonic parable and projecting other mystic texts, the performance's ever-shifting visual component draws viewers into an increasingly abstract internal odyssey. (AD)

Dust off your air axe and find yourself some hairspray. Tonight's 2006 Air Guitar Regional champ will get the chance to challenge other regional winners in June and, perhaps, topple their international competitors in Oulu, Finland in late August. Aireoke contestants faux-shred for 60 righteous seconds over a song of their choosing, with the top performers advancing to perform a "surprise compulsory song." If you can't make the show, check out the Air Guitar Nation doc, which premieres at this year's South by Southwest music festival. (KH)

Blue Velvet (1986)

when: Fri 3.3 - Thur 3.16 (1:30, 4, 7 & 9:30pm)

Pornography was what they called it. Absorbing the wide-open sensuality that David Lynch smeared across grass lawns, picket fences, and other comforting, Peyton Place-era images of Americana, several of Blue Velvet's first-look critics closed their eyes, covered their ears, and muttered "obscene." Now, for the film's 20th anniversary, a limited-run re-release offers our shock-and-awe generation a chance to discover, en masse and in the dark, what all the fuss was about: Isabella Rossellini. Arms outstretched, lips parted and waiting, she is Dorothy Vallens, or the Blue Lady — all quivering lust and naked despair. A symbol of the unacknowledged desires that everyone has, she is hard to look at, but never to be forgotten. (LG)

Note: Isabella Rossellini appears for the Mon 3.6 (7pm) screening.

  Which 1980s film star was initially offered the role of Sandy in Blue Velvet, and had her mother decline for her due to the graphic nature of the part? The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to the screening on Mon 3.6 (7pm).

Female a capella choirs from Bulgaria produce one of the more intriguing forms of world music. Their haunting, gorgeous voices intone ancient Ottoman chants and complex modern intervals at a preternaturally perfect pitch, weaving a sonic tapestry that resonates with matchless timbres, rhythms, and harmonies. Decades of honing their craft have allowed Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares to become the torchbearers of this original and breathtaking musical style. (JM)

when: Fri 3.3 (9pm-1am)

price: $20
links: Event Info

After a brief hiatus, the First Fridays series is back, and tonight's theme seems to be angles, ranging from the minimalist iron sculptures in David Smith: A Centennial, to Carlos D's iconic haircut. Watch out for jutting elbows and sharp knees as attendees slink and shimmy around Smith's majestic works, which marry cubist influences and industrial designs. The soundtrack is provided by Carlos D, who, in addition to being a rock star, is also pretty handy behind the decks. Expect a set that creeps out of the shadows, leaning heavily on atmospheric dark wave, but don't be surprised if he throws in a hit or two to keep the crowd guessing. Members of VHS or Beta open with a DJ set, slinging post-punk and new wave firecrackers. (CLH)

  What musician do you think has the most incomparable 'do? Our favorite response wins a pair of tickets to this event.

links: Event Info | The Clipse | DJ Clinton Sparks

Despite coasting on beats from the Neptunes back when that was a novelty, Virginia Beach's the Clipse were waylaid by label beefs. Rather than sit back and take it, Malice and Pusha T recruited Ab-Liva and Sandman to form the Re-Up Gang, dropping two of last year's best mixtapes, We Got It 4 Cheap, volumes one and two. Whether blessing fresh tracks or hijacking and tricking out radio-tested rhythms, the Clipse slung crack rhymes so dope they made Juelz' finest sound half-baked. Now, with a legion of fiends salivating for their full length, the pair have proved that, far from being Pharrell's lapdogs, they've got the game sown up. Come get familiar as they murder the Knitting Factory with svengali DJ Clinton Sparks. (TW)

  Pharrell and fellow Neptune founder Chad Hugo met in the seventh grade, but how far back do Malice and Pusha T go? The fourth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.

price: $8
links: Whitney Museum

Every two years, the Whitney Biennial takes stock of the American art landscape. This year's Biennial, however, expands that landscape as none other has done before, including, for the first time, artists practicing in Europe in addition to those stateside. Additionally, the infamous Wrong Gallery curates an exhibition within the exhibition, Down By Law, looking at representations of American outlaws, while Mark di Suvero — along with Rirkrit Tiravanija and 180 other artists — recreates his landmark Peace Tower, originally constructed in 1966 out of 2'x2' panels submitted by artists from around the world. Curators Chrissie Iles and Philippe Vergne put everything into perspective tonight in a series of three conversations. (AM)

links: Event Info | Whitehouse | Wolf Eyes | Pig Destroyer

Remember when your ears invaded your village and slaughtered everyone? Well, it's time to get even at tonight's aural pillaging. Wolf Eyes, those nigh-unlistenable sound experimentalists, torture their guitars and coax howls of pain from miscellaneous electronic implements after Pig Destroyer loosen connective tissues with blast beats and churning, venomous grindcore. But the real vengeance is meted out by Whitehouse, legendary extreme noise knob-twiddlers. These champions of depraved perverts everywhere are sure to get the sausage-fingered masses quivering with misanthropic lust as ear drums and other sensitive membranes rupture. (GM)

when: Sun 3.5 (7pm)
where: Mo Pitkin's (34 Ave A, 212.777.5660) map
price: $15
links: Event Info | Murray Hill

More often than not, a reference to Mr. Murray Hill as a king is a nod to his status in Manhattan's underground showbiz royalty. Tonight, he shares the limelight with performer and artist Mike Albo's comedy troupe Pu Pu Platter, featuring the rubber-faced John Roberts and Sandra Bauleo, to provide a full night of Oscar celebration. Running commentary interspersed with celebrity imitations, movie trivia, and re-enactments of the nominated films entertain during commercials. An abundance of prizes, including a grand prize for the winning Oscar predictions ballot, keeps the interest high and, with any luck, tunes Joan Rivers out. (JG)

Maybe taglines like "He invoked the unspeakable...she INVITED it!" and "Terror that tears the screams right out of your throat!" aren't enough to draw you, but what about the opportunity to see Dario Argento stroking Don Rickles' head? BAM's Some Kind of Horror Show series kicks off with Argento's third feature, Four Flies on Grey Velvet, and includes forgotten films by directors who specialize in the genre (George A. Romero), as well as quasi-horror films by more mainstream directors like the Nicolas Roeg/Jim Henson collaboration, Witches (1990). With adult-oriented splatter-fests, creepy kids' films, and even some Japanese offerings from a wide range of cinematic eras, this series aims to fill those gaping holes in your horror education. (GM)

Note: The 6:50pm screening also includes an opening night party, sponsored by the Onion.

Continuing in the shoegazing tradition of Sonic Youth, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine, Norwegian quintet Serena Maneesh tune into the college radio of the early '90s, layering abrasive and distorted sounds with Animal Collective-reminiscent psychedelia. Onstage, leader Emil Nikolaisen, sister Hilma, and cohorts ignite the crowd, expanding on the philosophical journey they began with their eponymous debut album — which, not surprisingly, was mixed by SY producer Martin Bisi.

links: Event Info

Big ideas worthy of capitals like Love, Loss, Life, and Death get rattled about like bric-a-brac in Glen Berger's marvelous jewel box of a play. Set in 19th-century Scotland, The Wooden Breeks opens with a drunken tinker who attempts to get over the memory of the lass who left him by literally pissing on a dying flame. As the last of the embers gasp for immortality, he is prompted by the bastard son she left behind to conjure one final tale about the mother the boy never knew. His narrative comes to life in the form of the fantastical village of Brood, whose citizens are visited by a saleswoman hawking a bell-like device meant to save people who are prematurely buried.

Anthony Lepore's large, rich color prints capture people and the environments they inhabit in acutely uncanny moments. The show's title, I Would Make You My Own — loaded like a Barbara Kruger slogan — emphasizes the work's recurring theme of excessive desire, the obsessive logic of acquisition, possession, and accumulation. Baltimore, Maryland suggests a still from John Waters' toxic dreams, depicting a rotund Episcopal priest and his ample wife presiding over a feast of corn and crab in blissful gluttony, while the suburban matron in Landing, New Jersey lounges in a room overflowing with replica Louis XIV furniture, chandelier dangling from a too-low ceiling and fake flowers on the coffee table, as garishly glamorous as Daniela Rossell's Third World Blondes.

Started just over a month ago by Londoner Matthew Knight, the Visual Dictionary is an online project created to collect images of words found in that mack daddy of dictionaries, the OED. It's a participatory project, with an open call to logophiles and aspiring shutterbugs to help evolve the site by contributing photos of single words spotted on subways, street signs, beer cans, and other found objects. And, with just over 200 entries submitted so far, ample opportunity remains to stamp the project with your unique perspective.

  DVD REVIEW: Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?  

Blank Stare Films
Released January 2006
$21.99 (Amazon)

Christian rock bands tend to get the short end of the cred-stick — to put it mildly — but no one ever said marrying Satan's music to its theological antithesis would be easy. Shedding light on the oft-scoffed-at phenomenon, Heather Whinna and Vickie Hunter's Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music? surveys the current Christian-rock landscape with a sensitive, outsider's eye. A many-faceted scene tortured by its internal contradictions, the genre's practitioners struggle to maintain faith in their music, their changing audience, and their God. Highlights include the requisite rant from Steve Albini, a somber moment with Pedro the Lion's David Bazan, and a performance from avant-weirdos the Danielson Famile, in which they yelp "I love my Lord" over and over to an increasingly uneasy crowd. And yes, there are shots of the Stryper reunion, which is, as one would expect, completely awesome. (TG)
