Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 318: anachronistic flavor
Sometimes you need to glance back to see what's ahead, and this week we're scoping out the future via our rearview mirrors. Indie darlings Yo La Tengo lend a score to screenings of vintage aquatic-life flicks, and forward-looking musicians go back to nature for unplugged shenanigans upstate as part of Campfire Sounds. Dabrye and Percee P link up to unite future-funk with golden-era mic rocking, and the Mixtape Riot monthly brings the mash-up with a similar mission. The Nortec Collective lets loose a fiesta fueled by traditional arrangements and tomorrow's beats, while rave-circuit vet DJ Icey serves up breaks too nu for skool. And proving that our love for bad guys never gets old, Excellent Cadavers documents true-life, Sicilian bad-assery from back in the day, while BAM delivers Great Villains in Cinema throughout July. Make your culture retro-active, and spread it.

Built for the tight, speedy streets of Europe, the original 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit looked, well, a little foreign on American roads. It didn't take long though for city-dwellers to discover the advantages of driving a smaller, more nimble, more fuel-efficient, more versatile car. Like the original, the all-new VW Rabbit is designed with metropolitan motorways in mind. Meet the reborn Rabbit. |

Jolie Holland w/ Sean Hayes
|
|
To call Jolie Holland's smoky, warbly voice a treasure is more
understatement than hyperbole. The self-taught musician first caught Tom
Waits' attention with her beautifully scratchy demo, Catalpa. Waits'
Anti label quickly released those early tapes, and followed suit with her
stunning debut LP, Escondida. Her latest, Springtime Can Kill
You, is the first album she's written with a full band in mind, and it
shows. Springtime is a well-rounded exploration of American roots
music. As always, Holland herself is sultry, mournful, and glorious. Live
performances from this former Be Good Tanya are all too rare, so don't sleep
on this one. (TW)
 What does the name of Jolie Holland's music publishing company refer to? The fourth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this show.

A year after engrossing local audiences with their distorted fantasy
Tense Dave, Melbourne-based dance company Chunky Move return with a
whole different offering in tow. Part documentary, part dance impressionism
— and a whole lot of social commentary — I Want To Dance
Better at Parties grew out of video interviews that
choreographer/director Gideon Obarzanek conducted with various men about
their individual relationships with dance. The result is a giddy mixture of
a factual video demonstration of these men — a widowed ballroom
dancer, an Israeli folk performer, a young Greek clubber, a gay clogging
aficionado, and an awkward non-dancer — and an expressive work about
how dance conveys who they really are. (SP)

Alexander Stille's nonfiction account of a government official determined to
bring down the mobsters responsible for a rash of high-profile
assassinations in Sicily during the '70s and '80s spawned a docudrama
starring Chazz Palminteri. The film stayed so faithful to the facts that the
narrative suffered, and many felt that the story would have been better told
as a documentary. Luckily, director Marco Turco heeded this sentiment, and
has collaborated with Stille and photojournalist Letizia Battaglia on the
latest incarnation of Excellent Cadavers, which unflinchingly
documents the brutal slayings, the corrupt politicians, and the
Mafia's chokehold on Italy at the time, as well as the heroic Giovanni
Falcone's crusade and ultimate demise. (GM)

Palette brings together an eye-opening selection of international
artists whose works demonstrate startlingly different approaches to color.
Naomi Fisher scratches out inky, blood-red portraits that conflate horror
with nostalgia, her subjects — all women — wearing vintage
evening clothes and posing amidst tropical flora. Andrea Hanak's paintings
and drawings borrow the dark undertones of German Expressionism, while
Andreas Leikauf creates punchy, pop-culture-inflected prints and canvases.
Benjamin Butler uses pastel hues and patterns to make organic forms abstract and
Laleh Khorramian invents dense, narrative space through oxidized washes of
ochre and brown. Chris Caccamise's collaged constructions appropriate the
plastic varnish of everyday objects and Martin McMurray
satirically foregrounds political caricatures against expansive, monochrome
backdrops. (AM)

WIRED and Flavorpill present The Long Tail feat. Spank Rock w/ Aloe Blacc and DJ James Murphy
|
|
WIRED magazine's editor-in-chief Chris Anderson rattled many entertainment-industry cages with his 2004 article "The Long Tail," a revolutionary look at how the breadth of the public's cultural interests is largely untapped by the marketplace, and how big studios and labels who repeatedly bet the farm on a few blockbusters could better serve creativity, diversity, and their own bottom lines by exploring the niches. To celebrate the unveiling of The Long Tail book, Flavorpill spreads the wealth of talent around with DJ sets courtesy of Qool Marv, $mall
¢hange, and LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, as well as live performances from grimy B-more bangers Spank Rock, soulful Stones Throw-signee Aloe Blacc, and a very special guest. Long live the 'tail. (JL)

Hollywood spectacle. Curated by the team of Melissa Brown, Josh Kline, and
Michael Williams, this show includes young artists quietly establishing
themselves as their generation's representatives. Top attraction Jim Drain
is known for outsize psychedelic multimedia collaborations and his patchwork
totem-sculptures that exude alien cool. Among other artists, Shana Moulton
explores the absurdities informing urban domestic living, Scott Reeder
represents Milwaukee's active video community, and the Paper Rad collective
continue to colonize New York with their lo-fi, music-driven animations.

If the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink title of this series doesn't exactly
roll off the tongue, it does cast an umbrella wide enough to include some of
the most arresting American films ever made — all of which
should be viewed by every self-respecting cinephile at least once on a bona
fide big screen. Witness Bela Lugosi's never-surpassed Dracula;
Richard Widmark in Kiss of Death; A Clockwork Orange,
Kubrick's most salacious and honest film; Hitchcock's Rebecca, and
Psycho, whose stunning visual geometry nearly eclipses its horror;
Touch of Evil, arguably Orson Welle's finest directorial effort;
and (wait for it) Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather II and
Apocalypse Now Redux. Villainously good. (LR)
Which screen villain do you have the most sympathy for and why? Our
favorite response of 50 words or less wins a pair of tickets to
Psycho at 6:15pm on Sat 7.15.

Yo La Tengo: The Sounds of Science w/ Samara Lubelski
|
|
Whether you regard Yo La Tengo's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out as a work of existential pop genius or pure Hoboken-bred indie wankery is neither here nor there — because this YLT production is a completely different beast, namely "animal porn." The Sounds of Science is an original score to accompany eight magical short films by surrealist aquanaut Jean Painlevé. Made from the 1930s through the '70s, Painlevé's fetishistic films capture the kinkier side of life underwater. Whether he's documenting a sea horse giving birth (the males pop out the babies!) or the ghostly dance of mating mollusks, Painlevé's whimsical, eerie perspective is utterly engaging. The soundtrack isn't bad either. (JKG)

Set in early 20th-century France, Gabrielle is not unlike portraiture
of that same period: still, gorgeously appointed, and haunted by an
impressive, barely contained emotional violence. Jean Hervey and his wife
Gabrielle (Isabelle Huppert) preside over their Belle Époque circle as
the sort of unflappable couple untroubled by normal human passion. But when
Hervey discovers a letter Gabrielle never intended him to read, the careful
calculus of their relationship is disrupted. Mining the pale fury that is
Huppert's specialty and basing his script on Joseph Conrad's story "The
Return," writer/director Patrice Chéreau exposes the institution of
marriage as a mutual dissociation device for some rather than a triumph.

Nortec Collective w/ Beto y Richie Grupo Soñador
|
|
Back in 2001, when this Baja-based crew of producers, graphic designers, and DJs got its Tijuana Sessions played on LA's hugely influential KCRW, it didn't take long for Cali's most clued-in club and cocktail lounge DJs to respond in kind. Underpinned by guttural tuba blasts and bright flashes of trumpet, Nortec's music tapped the slightly swarthy, good-natured banda sounds of Northern Mexico and set them to rump-shakingly propulsive beats. Three volumes into the Sessions series, it still sounds fresh.
Mexi-madness descends on Prospect Park tonight, as Nortec are joined by Beto y Richie Grupo Soñador, who look set to bust some hot south-of-border, boy-band moves. (JAS)

Amadou & Mariam w/ Daby Toure and Birdy Nam Nam
|
|
A highlight of this year's Coachella festival, blind husband-and-wife duo
Amadou & Mariam brought a welcome bit of spirited Afro-pop to the rock- and
techno-heavy proceedings. The joy of their music is contagious, and their
stellar collaboration with world-music Svengali Manu Chao on Dimanche a
Bamako resulted in one of last year's most beautiful recordings. The album's warm, summery feeling fills Central Park today, as the duo sings magnificent
songs born out of experiences in its native Mali. Daby Toure's musical
Mauritanian upbringing laid the foundation for the singer/songwriter's
unique melodiousness. French turntablist quartet Birdy Nam Nam might have
accolades from hip-hop DJs for their skills, but there's no battle-hungry, boom-bap bombast in their delicate vinyl reconstructions. Between these kids and Kid Koala, we're feeling a new term coming on: can you say TweeJ?

Despite occasional box-office-busting windfalls, animated films still tend to inhabit either kiddie or stoner ghettos of public perception. With Animation Around the World, BAM acknowledges animation's greater potential, but doesn't shy from the obvious likeability of big-eyed cuteness or "whoa, dude"-ness, either. The series culls highlights from international animation festivals and over 30 years of brilliant shorts from Dutch great Paul Driessen. The Ottawa International Animation Festival is pared down to 12 outstanding and diverse works; BAM's portion of Brooklyn's Animation Block Party offers another dozen flicks on a more DIY tip; Slovenia's Animateka Festival selections range from dark social critique to surrealist send-up; and the Best of Clermont-Ferrand features Chris Cunningham's Aphex-addled nightmare, Rubber Johnny.

Riffing off Richard Serra's imposing, all-encompassing torqued ellipse
sculptures, Italian art duo goldiechiari (Sara Goldschmied and Elonora Chiari) fill Spencer Brownstone's main
gallery space with an opaque, minimalist construction that looms high above
eye level. Made from roughly painted plywood, it frustrates the viewer,
offering seeming entryways that open into dead ends. At the back of the
gallery a stepladder hidden behind a standing wall offers a different
vantage point, revealing that the sculptural adversary in fact spells out
"Welcome" in giant block letters. Part of an ongoing series of works that
explore the emotional contours of lived experience, Welcome subtly
juxtaposes fear and confusion with humor and empathy, providing a pithy
parable for contemporary anxiety. (AM)

CD REVIEW: James Figurine, Mistake, Mistake, Mistake, Mistake |
|
|
Plug Research
Released July 2006
$13.99 (Amazon)
|
You might remember Jimmy Tamborello from such feats of conceptual artistry as the Postal Service, Dntel, and Figurine. His latest project, under the contrived moniker James Figurine, took shape while on a tour of Germany with Lali Puna. Spending hours on the road listening to pounding dance-floor techno, Tamborello vowed to make an album in a similar vein. Fortunately, at least for those of us who think the world already has enough pounding dance-floor techno, he couldn't shake his pop sensibilities. The resulting ten-tracker is packed with mutant techno moments shaped into swoonsome grooves by Tamborello's claustrophobic vocals. John Tejada, Erland Oye, and the Postal Service's Jenny Lewis are among the hired help, but Tamborello has succeeded — seemingly by default — in making another record entirely in his own enduring image. (ND)
 Which Kompakt album does Tamborello cite as having been particularly influential on his new project? The first correct response wins a copy of the new James Figurine CD.

STREAMS: Mad Decent Radio |
|
|
Regardless of the worldwide fame that DJing, remixing, and producing have brought him, you've got to hand it to Diplo for maintaining his hunger for exploring and exposing new styles and rhythms. His latest project, Mad Decent Radio, sees him filing 20-minute audio dispatches from his nonstop touring schedule, with each installment offering a taste of influential records and emerging sounds percolating up from the underground. His recent transmission bases have included New Orleans, Rio, and Paris, and although the website appears self-administered and endearingly, ahem, low budget (it's hosted on Diplo's own .mac web space, with grammar mistakes aplenty), these quality, genre-defying mixes don't require any fancy packaging.
