Cultural Stimuli in CHI
Issue 139: geyser flavor
If the dates on the calendar, the sunny weather, or the sudden abundance of elote carts didn't tip you off to spring, then perhaps you noticed that Buckingham Fountain is now back in action. While the venerable fountain pumps out over 14,100 gallons of water per minute, it can't match the jet stream of culture directed toward Chicago. Operating with an apparently bottomless reservoir of heartache, Morrissey returns to sew more tales of sadness and celibacy, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon dips into Tolkien-esque territory as he reads from his highly detailed and utterly imaginary depiction of a Jewish state in Alaska, and new-school silent filmmaker Guy Maddin streams his latest not-so-talkie with live orchestral accompaniment and in-person narration by Crispin Glover. Elsewhere, golf takes to the streets, author Chuck Palahniuk lets loose his latest Rant, and artist Paul Chan draws attention to artists Charged in the Name of Terror. Dip your toes or wade in up to your knees — and spread it.

Barely scratching the surface of their early 20s, We Are The Fury call on glam's flair and post-punk's immediacy to revitalize the music scene with debut album Venus, in stores Tuesday, May 22nd. Tune it in, turn it up, and get ready to be blown away by one of the most refreshing rock albums of '07. |

Make Midway Your Fairway
An event for anyone who's ever wanted to swing a nine-iron on Ashland Ave (Jack Nicklaus or Nicholson-style) and take on potholes instead of sand traps, non-profit writer's workshop 826CHI kicks off its inaugural Urban Golf Classic this weekend with a nice bit of pavement play.

Event Info | Morrissey |
|
|
Every artsy, emotional, shy, broken-hearted, or insecure kid recognizes the moody voice and playfully dark lyrics of Morrissey. The languid British musician made his name with the Smiths (1982-87) and, thankfully, went solo when the band broke up. Leftist in his politics, vegetarian in his diet, and secretive about his sexuality, Morrissey is an iconic spokesperson for the melodramatic, cynical soul. Dig the old Morrissey t-shirt out of the closet and sway along to favorites like "Suedehead," as well as newer tunes from Ringleader of the Tormentors. (AE)

|
|
Among the endless posse cuts and watered-down full-lengths comprising hip-hop today, the Lifesavas' cohesive new Gutterfly already stands out. But the Portland trio takes it one step further, dressing up their album with flashy clothes, raw horns, and a blaxploitation theme. Filled with recurring references to life in the fictional Razorblade City (perhaps the next Grand Theft Auto setting), the story comes complete with cheesy aliases like the Garbageman, Bumpy Johnson, and Jimmy Slimwater that make Snoop's turn as Huggy Bear look half-assed. Stereotypical '70s films don't seem like obvious touchstones for the positive-minded Quannum group, but Lifesavas turn homage into high art. (PS)
 Which director's films inspired the the theme of Lifesavas' new record? The first randomly drawn correct response receives a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close at 6pm on Tue 5.15.

|
|
Brandishing gore and sadism like it was going out of style, writer/provocateur Chuck Palahniuk built his wildly successful career on characters so disaffected, disillusioned, and tortured that they seemed seconds away from spiraling into madness. Best known for his debut novel, Fight Club, and the accompanying film starring Ed Norton, Palahniuk satirizes everything from consumerism to submissive obedience while dismembering psyches with mind-boggling plot twists and an encyclopedic knowledge of the obscene and grotesque. Tonight, Palahniuk reads from his blistering tenth novel, Rant, a dystopic fictional biography of a hyper-efficient serial killer. (SN)

Hidden beneath the placid façade of every white, suburban, middle class family is a secret. Today, images of the perfect '50s housewife are pure vintage kitsch, but back then such appearances were taken very seriously. After his mother's death from pneumonia in 2002, filmmaker Doug Block focused in on his parents' seemingly perfect 54-year marriage and discovered a ripe subject for his most recent film, 51 Birch Street. What started as mere curiosity produced a fascinating film that delves into the oft-kept secrets of a generation that tried hard to keep up with its clean, wholesome, and family-oriented image. (AE)

Wake Up! feat. Lusine w/ Philip Sherburne
|

If the recent remix album Podgelism is any indication, the Lusine fan club is flourishing. Top-flight producers from Apparat to John Tejada took turns reimagining impeccably groomed source material — the subtle and sensual electronic textures sculpted by Jeff McIlwain. The originals behind these breezy soundscapes are just a sample of the Seattle beatsmith's eclectic work. Co-headliner Philip Sherburne, widely regarded dance-music scribe and editor of Flavorpill's Earplug, will put his knowledge (and hopefully some excellent promo releases) to work during his set. Local jocks Sassmouth and Kate Simko kick off this Ghostly International residency. (PS)

Cementing its status as a leading venue for rising standup comedians and performers, the Lincoln Lodge comedy-and-variety showcase pulls out all the stops this week, sending off its seventh season with a best-of tribute to its past performances. A variety of local comedians fill the three-night bill, including talent from Second City and Improv Olympic alongside observational comics, impressionists, video-comedy segments, and a magic act that adds a vaudeville twist to the evening. Each night is hosted by a duo of Lincoln Lodge cast members and features a group of the club's most requested comedians. (CN)

While known for its jangly folk melodies and giddily chanted lyrics, Animal Collective varies widely in concert — from sporadic smatterings of noise to full-bore pop celebrations. Whatever their fancy, the feral, freaky popsters always strike a chord between catchy and cacophonous. (JW)

Tonight's lavish cinematic spectacle — a welcome throwback to the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood — pairs visionary director Guy Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain! with an 11-piece orchestra, sound effects by a foley artist, and Crispin Glover's live narration. Maddin, who is best known for his delirious The Saddest Music in the World (2003), continues his interest in otherworldly cinema with this phantasmagoric tale of two siblings and their iron-fisted, adoptive parents. Oozing whimsy and morbidity in equal measure, the semi-autobiographical film ushers audiences into a willfully eccentric world of creepy vampiric behavior, teenage detectives, and mysterious head wounds.

An official selection at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, Charged in the Name of Terror: Portraits by Contemporary Artists collects short documentaries about individuals who have been deeply affected by the War on Terror. The contributions of the film's six directors (most of whom boast Chicago roots) come together seamlessly to tell four unique stories with one universal theme. Video artist Paul Chan starts the documentary with Untitled Video on Lynne Stewart and Her Conviction, the Law and Poetry, a piece that delves into the case of the first American lawyer convicted of aiding terrorists. Three other films follow the lives of activists and political radicals, addressing the personal consequences of an era dominated by fear and sanctimony. (AY)

Sloan w/ Small Sins
|
|
Nova Scotia and power pop were never really synonymous, at least not until Canadian quartet Sloan arrived. Staying true to their power-rock progenitors — similarly pop-oriented acts like Cheap Trick and Stone Roses — the band continues to play with the vivacious, youthful guitar energy that defined its early-'90s rise. In fact, critics have lauded the 2006 release, Never Hear the End of It, saying it sits proudly alongside the group's earlier masterworks. The goofball personalities of Sloan shine when they play live, as its members deliver crunching rock tracks and a lively stage show, proving the old-musician adage that if you have fun, the audience will, too.

Mice Parade w/ Tom Brosseau
|
|
As exceptional shoegaze innovators the Swirlies slowly whimpered into dormancy in the late '90s, drummer Matt Pierce picked himself up by the bootstraps and immersed himself in his solo project, the anagrammatically named Mice Parade. Between running the indie label Bubble Core and heading the FatCat USA distribution company, the ever-busy Pierce released a slew of instrumental albums that showcased his wildly brilliant drumming and sounded like Sea and Cake-style dream pop tempered with atmospheric electronica. On his new self-titled release, Pierce develops a more traditional pop structure — with prominent vocals and eclectic instrumentation — that bends and buckles his trademark arrangements, rather than breaking them. Labelmate Tom Brosseau opens. (SN)

What if the remote peaks of Alaska were the Jewish homeland, instead of Israel? While this seems like an absurd premise, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon grounds just this situation in historical fact. (In 1940, the FDR administration unsuccessfully proposed the King-Havenner Billwhich sought a safe haven for Jewish immigrants in Alaska.) As the Chosen people live life as the frozen people on the island of Sitka, Chabon stokes the story with a murder mystery and a noir tone. As he did for The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Chabon creates a new map of the world. Hear the great novelist and chronicler of Jewish life read from his latest and imagine "what if," too. (JA)

Molly Springfield makes meticulously rendered graphite drawings of books — more precisely, Xerox copies of books and sometimes copies of copies of books, including tomes on art history, volumes of poetry, and other enigmatic writings. Her fastidious reproduction of miniscule type, overlapping page edges, and illustrations is enthralling. The work also contains layered conceptual considerations, including references and ruminations on of history, technique, originality, and reproduction, as well as the myriad ways the beholder experiences art — be it on a wall or in a book.

Director Frank Galati angles Sophocles' familiar tragedy — a young man unwittingly kills his father and weds his mother — within the mind of Sigmund Freud, producing a heady, haunting 100 minutes. Holding onto the Greek spirit of storytelling, there isn't much action in the brilliantly realized black-and-white dreamscape, complete with a chorus of morning coat-clad psychologists. Nick Sandys is exceptional as Freud, stepping in and out of the action to illuminate the story with childhood memories. This bold reworking of the Oedipus myth in Victorian England is mesmerizing, conferring a modern tabloid-driven psychology to the classic play. (NS)

A main contender in the Chicago imagist art movement of the late '60s, Karl Wirsum is receiving his first career retrospective at 68 years old. In his flat, brightly colored 2-D painting ARMPITS (1963), a wild redhead with an exaggerated hourglass figure raises her arms to expose actual armpit hair. (Wirsum used fur.) Things only get weirder as the artist grows older. In 2002's Egg Drop, he employs bizarrely shaped animals with twisted, tube-like bodies that look straight out of a hi-res surrealist video game. Get too close to Wirsum's world of carnivalesque figures, and you might fall in. (AE)

In the late '80s, photographer Paul D'Amato drove down 18th Street by chance and fell in love with Chicago's Mexican-American enclaves of Pilsen and Little Village. Later, he immersed himself in these communities, embarking on a project that would span decades. His arresting pictures blend journalistic photography with more expressionistic traditions and capture the urban landscape with curiosity and intimacy. Daily lives unfold before the viewer, relating immigrant families' hardships, celebrations, and traditions. Girl in the Rain — in which a young girl lies on the ground, arms outstretched, soaking up the cool water on a hot day — witnesses D'Amato distill a moment in childhood that is universal in its joy.

Three years after envisioning Sweets & Savories as a bare-bones bakery, Executive Chef David Richards presides over a full-blown French dining experience centered around this classic combo. Snag a seat in a dimly-lit corner, check out the vintage posters, and dine with top-rate service. After selecting a vin de pays, try the lightly-floured, fried-in-duck-fat, seasonal soft-shell crab on a bed of watermelon and cherry tomatoes, or a blend of beef tenderloin, seared scallop, truffled demiglace and mango salsa cleverly called the "adult surf 'n' turf." And since you'll probably smell it wafting in from the kitchen as you eat, expect to finish with the rich, warm, Belgian chocolate fondant — resistance is futile. (AE)

CD REVIEW: Feist, The Reminder |
|
|
Cherry Tree
Released May 2007
$7.99 (Amazon)
|
Indie chanteuse Leslie Feist is a devious, deceptive deity with unquestionable cred. Released in the wake of critic's darling Let It Die, The Reminder makes a mockery of the sinuous sophomore-esque slump, magnifying
the Broken Social Scene alum's already delectable jazz-pop aesthetic with a lushness barely alluded to on earlier
efforts. Expanding subtle hooks into life-affirming swells, songs like "I Feel It All" and the disarmingly catchy
"1234" replace the singer's once-wandering brilliance with a confident swagger. "So Sorry"
and "Brandy Alexander," meanwhile, cozy up like a one-eyed Teddy Ruxpin, shouldering the listener's sorrow with a
series of vulnerable acoustic croons. However, it's Feist's sultry cover of Nina Simone's "Sea Lion
Women" that really cements the sale, proving that — in addition to everything else — the sweet-toothed
singer has also got soul. (AP)
