Cultural Stimuli in SF
Issue 153: test-tube flavor


You know that Simpsons episode where Lisa introduces a formula for bully repellent at a scientific conference, and all chaos ensues? This week, SF is a little like that august-gone-anarchic hall. On the one hand, all kinds of studious (which is not to say heartless) seriousness goes down, thanks to a visit from the Math Guy, a discussion with C-SPAN's CEO, and a lecture from New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl. But there must have been a mutation in the lab — perhaps a virus introduced via a moldy peach? — because rational thought gives way to snide ripostes, a freak-funk tussle, and even feelings of fear and loathing. Don't fight the irrational; just grab your magic deerhoof, make a wish, and spread it.

 

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

when: Tue 4.5 (7:30pm)
where: Cody's Books (2454 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, 510.845.7852) map
price:
links: Event Info | Keith Devlin

Despite swearing up and down that your high school math classes were a complete waste of time, you might be pleasantly surprised at just how much math you instinctively and successfully use each day. In fact, Keith Devlin, NPR's Math Guy and author of The Math Instinct: Why You're a Mathematical Genius (along with Lobsters, Birds, Cats, and Dogs), already thinks you're a whiz. His new book looks at people's innate ability to use natural quantification methods for problem solving, and why they fail when plain old math gets in the way. Come and see if his theory adds up. (KT)



DJ
Mutations

when: Tue 4.5 (9pm)
where: Elbo Room (647 Valencia St, 415.552.7788) map
price: $6
links: Event Info | Soulsalaam | Vinnie Esparza

Lovers of infectious Brazilian grooves will only have to travel as far as the Mission District's Elbo Room tonight, as it plays host to Mutations — a DJ/percussive party that promises beats from all over the Brazilian diaspora. Two local DJ stalwarts, Soulsalaam (whose recent tour of Brazil should have him playing only the finest sounds from Pele's homeland) and Vinnie Esparza, hold down the vinyl duties, while Goddess of Funk — an all-woman Brazilian drum troupe from Santa Cruz — inspire attendees to book their flights for Carnaval a bit early this year.

LECTURE
Brian Lamb: Is Access to Power Shrinking or Expanding?

when: Wed 4.6 (6pm)
where: World Affairs Center (312 Sutter St, 2nd Fl, 415.293.4600) map
price: $15
links: Event Info | Brian P. Lamb

The title of tonight's talk, hosted by the World Affairs Council, feels like a no-brainer. President Bush is privatizing his papers faster than Social Security, while Freedom of Information Act requests come back looking like UPC codes, and fake correspondents are planted at White House press conferences to lob softballs when the real reporters' questions get too hard. But enlivening this session is Brian P. Lamb, chairman and CEO of C-SPAN networks. After launching 25 years ago to bring transparency back to a populace rocked by political scandal, the network now boasts three channels, a radio station, and a comprehensive website. If anyone can map out the contested territory between the government and the people, it's Lamb. (PS)

Note: Reservations are required; to RSVP, call 415.293.4600, email reservation@wacsf.org, or visit the event's info page.



MUSIC: Indie Rock
Okay w/ Why? and Howard Hello

when: Wed 4.6 (9pm)
where: Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St, 415.621.4455) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Marty Anderson | Why? | Howard Hello

Fremont's Marty Anderson, the indie rock troubadour now known as Okay, doesn't often perform publicly. Stricken by severe Crohn's disease, the ex-member of noise-poppers Dilute has been bound to his parents' suburban home for the last few years. In that time, he has written and recorded volumes of heartfelt songs, many of which form High Road and Low Road, his two-album debut as a solo artist. On tracks like "Bloody" and "Holy War," Anderson's personal battles become a metaphor for our nation's cultural and political sickness, channeling David Bowie and Destroyer's Daniel Bejar in equal measure. Anticon hip-hopper Why? opens along with Howard Hello, Anderson's collaboration with Pinback bassist/keyboardist Kenseth Thibideau. (KT)

LECTURE
Peter Schjeldahl: The Story of the Image

when: Thur 4.7 (7pm)
where: Phyllis Wattis Theater, SFMOMA (151 3rd St, 415.357.4130) map
price: $15
links: Event Info

Where other art critics obfuscate, Peter Schjeldahl illuminates. Take a pronouncement like this one from the New Yorker: "The longer you look at a good Basquiat ... the jazzy push and pull of small and large masses, dark and light tones, and cool and warm colors becomes more, rather than less, complex." Reading Schjeldahl's writing is like eavesdropping on the conversation between his eye and his brain, a lesson in vision and thought. In tonight's installment of the 2005 Phyllis Wattis Distinguished Lecture series, he tackles the work of Robert Bechtle, teasing out the narrative implications of the photo-realist painter's work. (PS)

  Who played director/artist Julian Schnabel in his film Basquiat? The first correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Indie Rock
OCS w/ Nedelle

when: Thur 4.7 (7:30pm)
where: Station 40 (3030b 16th St) map
price: $5
links: Event Info | OCS | Nedelle | Evacuee

Masked and maniacal noise avenger John Dwyer of the Coachwhips opts to subtract electricity only in its most literal sense while performing as OCS. Aggrandized by going acoustic, Dwyer still maintains his confusingly visceral and tensely engaging sound. But where OCS favors face-to-face confrontation, Nedelle's acoustic compositions have the snarky playfulness of a note being passed around in class. Youthful, yet wise beyond her years, Nedelle is reminiscent of numerous sharp chanteuses both past and present. This night of local talent serves as an informal inauguration of Station 40, the socially conscious arts collective hosting the event. Also sharing the bill are two bands — the seemingly on-a-bender Blanche Deveraux and the thrash-happy Evacuee — along with disarming soloist Lia Rose. (CT)



MUSIC: Alt-Country
Shivaree and Clem Snide

when: Thur 4.7 (8pm)
where: Great American Music Hall (859 O'Farrell St, 415.885.0750) map
price: $15 / $13 advance
links: Event Info | Clem Snide | Shivaree

Shivaree's Ambrosia Parsley is a torch singer for modern times. Her musical family — the one that placed her front-and-center in a 99-piece old-time banjo ensemble when she was just seven — put her on the inside track to a life of smoky jazz clubs. But rather than gently turn the pages of the great American songbook, Parsley tears into them with seductiveness, ambition, and a style all her own. She also recently took a second gig, becoming one of Air America Radio's most popular talents with her segment Ambrosia Sings the News. She won't be pulling any punches tonight, when Shivaree opens for Clem Snide. (KT)

  Rough Dreams, Shivaree's 2002 release, was named for what musician? The third and fifth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Indie Pop
Andrew Bird w/ Laura Veirs

when: Thur 4.7 (9pm)
where: 12 Galaxies (2565 Mission St, 415.970.9777) map
price: $14 / $12 advance
links: Event Info | Andrew Bird | Laura Veirs

Chicago-based singer/songwriter Andrew Bird makes the violin sexy. He plucks it, bows it, and finds in it the perfect vessel for his quirky, polished songwriting — jazzy one moment, folksy the next, with elements of rock and pop sprouting through in the most accessible ways. Onstage, Bird samples and loops the orchestral instrument, supporting it with electric guitar, glockenspiel, and his own otherworldly whistling. His smooth voice, meanwhile, creates a melodic world that's both comforting and mesmerizing. With six albums already in his repertoire, Bird's songs range from sparse and sleepy to lush and dreamy to animated and catchy. Classical it's not. (LB)

Note: The bluesy, guitar-strumming singer/songwriter Laura Veirs opens.

FILM
Look At Me

when: Opens Fri 4.8
where: Landmark Embarcadero (One Embarcadero Center, 415.267.4893) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Look At Me

As the dumpy first daughter of a wildly selfish hotshot writer, Lolita expresses herself in a dissatisfied mew that speaks volumes more than anyone around her is willing to hear. In fact, Lolita, an aspiring opera singer, is hard-pressed to snag anyone's attention: her beau's more impressed by her family than by her, her voice teacher's got her hands full with a floundering novelist, and her father's abject narcissism prevents him from even registering a person — let alone a need — outside his own. This gorgeous film, mostly set in bookish Parisian interiors, gently prods us to explore how older wounds blind us to the humanity and kindness of others. (LR)

DANCE
The First Annual Cuba Caribe Festival of Dance, Music, and Theater

when: Fri 4.8 (8pm)
where: Dance Mission Theater (3316 24th St, 415.273.4633) map
price: $20 / $18 advance
links: Event Info

Cuban dance has an especially strong presence in the Bay Area, thanks to choreographer Ramon Ramos Alayo — who, with his Cuba Caribe group, melds Afro-Caribbean and modern dance styles to ends as spiritual as they are athletic. This week, they launch the First Annual Cuba Caribe Festival of Dance, Music, and Theatre — a four-weekend event featuring Cuban storytelling, adventurous dance projects (like Krissy Keefer and Jose Navarrete's Dear Fidel), and a lecture from critic Ned Sublette, known for his spellbinding explications of Cuban music history. For dancers, there are master classes; for the politically minded, a panel discussion on "Cuba Now!"; and no one should miss Ramos Alayo's own moving, gripping pieces, which offer cultural transubstantiation at its most sublime. (PS)



MUSIC: Freak-Folk, Funk-Punk
Ariel Pink w/ Tussle

when: Fri 4.8 (10pm)
where: Hemlock Tavern (1131 Polk St, 415.923.0923) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Ariel Pink | Tussle

Ariel Pink, the first non-Animal Collective member to sign to the band's Paw Tracks label, makes some of the most disorienting, psychedelic rock you're likely to hear from LA's burgeoning noise scene. In the vein of Tall Dwarves, Swell Maps, and other home recorders before him, Pink has created more than 500 boombox-fidelity compositions — but he ups the ante by not only playing all of the instruments on his latest disc, Worn Copy, but also synthesizing the drum beats vocally. Suffice it to say that both his record and his live shows are incredibly dizzying affairs. Disco punks Tussle open. (KT)

  Ariel is the name of both a Disney heroine and a book of poetry. Name the Disney movie and the poet. The fourth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this event.

FESTIVAL
Alternative Press Expo

when: Sat 4.9 - Sun 4.10 (Sat: noon-6pm / Sun: 11am-5pm)
where: Concourse Exhibition Center (620 7th St, 619.414.1020) map
price: $7 / $10 two-day pass
links: Event Info

Sure, series like X-Men and Spider-Man drive the big ducats in the mainstream — but if you're curious about the world of independent and self-published comics, the Alternative Press Expo should help stimulate your appreciation of the illustrated narrative. Buy books and comics directly from the independent shops and artists, and check out the panels to get the scoop on industry trends or learn how to publish your own works of art. Affiliated events around the Bay Area include live music shows, readings, and sessions with featured guests like Eisner Award-winner James Sturm and cartoonist Seth, the man who designed the currently best-selling Complete Peanuts series. (GKH)



MUSIC: Rock
Drive-By Truckers w/ Heartless Bastards

when: Sat 4.9 (9pm)
where: The Fillmore (1805 Geary Blvd, 415.346.6000) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | Drive-By Truckers | Heartless Bastards

The Drive-By Truckers make numerous stops in San Francisco, but none as dangerous as tonight, when the boys from Alabama (and Georgia) grace the city's most diverse stage with some good ol' fashioned Southern pillaging. Frontman Patterson Hood, flanked by guitar wizards Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell, effortlessly navigates between acoustic melodies and serious whiskey-mashed geetar to blend punk with roots — most notably on the band's 2001 anthemic album Southern Rock Opera. Missing this show might call for retaliation dispensed from an 18-wheeler. (SNS)

Note: A free afternoon performance at Amoeba precedes the show.

  Amoebas move by changing the structure of their bodies, forming "false feet." What is the technical term for these structures? The third correct response wins a pair of tickets to this event.



MUSIC: Solo Rock
Adam Green w/ Rob Crow's My Band Is A Mess

when: Sat 4.9 (10pm)
where: Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St, 415.621.4455) map
price: $12 / $10 advance
links: Event Info | Adam Green | Rob Crow

When Rob Crow shares the stage with Pinback bandmate Armistead Burwell Smith IV, loyal fans expect cerebral, reflective melodies wrapped around a dreamy blend of stringed instruments. Without Smith, however, Crow is the poster boy for idiosyncratic solo performers, keeping audiences tuned instead to his signature falsetto vocals and bizarre lyrics. Nearly ten years removed from his debut solo album, Lactose Adept, tonight is a chance to see a more mature Crow — a maverick who uses his unique voice, his guitar, and technology all in conjunction to fill the air. Adam Green of Moldy Peaches fame headlines. (SNS)

Note: Aspects of Physics also open.

  What part of your life is a complete mess? Why? The best two answers each win a pair of tickets to this show.

MUSIC: Jazz
Wayne Shorter Quartet

when: Sun 4.10 (7pm)
where: Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley (Bancroft Way at Telegraph Ave, 510.642.9988) map
price: $24-46
links: Event Info | Wayne Shorter | Danilo Perez | John Patitucci | Brian Blade

Jazz aficionados around the world require no introduction to composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter. In addition to co-founding the seminal fusion group Weather Report, Shorter has, over the course of a 40-year career, collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz history, including Art Blakey and Miles Davis. Despite his many accomplishments, however, it has only been two years since Shorter made his live debut as leader of his own acoustic quartet. Tonight's performance, which emphasizes Shorter's own compositions, features those same stellar sidemen: Danilo Perez on piano, John Patitucci on bass, and Brian Blade on drums. (JGS)

  Actor Jude Law learned how to play the saxophone for which film? The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to this event.

FILM
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

when: Mon 4.11 (8pm)
where: The Independent (628 Divisadero St, 415.771.1421) map
price:
links: Event info

The popcorn's on the house tonight, but it's strictly BYOE (bring your own ether). In tribute to the late, great Hunter S. Thompson, Cinema Drafthouse screens Terry Gilliam's cult favorite Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. A faithful adaptation of Thompson's 1972 novel, the film follows the author's alter-ego, Raoul Duke (played with cartoonish accuracy by Johnny Depp), and his corpulent lawyer, Dr. Gonzo (Benicio del Toro), on their mescaline-fueled descent into a modern Dante's Inferno — otherwise known as Las Vegas, Nevada. Remember Thompson as he should be remembered: with indiscriminate narcotic use, reptilian hallucinations, gratuitous bodily fluids, assault and battery, paranoid delusions, and by otherwise "humping the American Dream." (AB)

Note: There is a two drink minimum for this event.



MUSIC: Experimental
sfSound Series: Around the Bay

when: Mon 4.11 (8pm)
where: ODC Theater (3153 17th St, 415.863.9834) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | John Ingle | Jake Rodriguez | Erik Ulman

The sfSound Group once again demonstrates the vitality of homegrown innovation with a concert of new chamber works by Bay Area composers. Saxophonist John Ingle, versed in extended performance techniques like singing through his horn, launches the program with Mobiles for wind and brass quartet, and Marisol Jiménez's Añoranzas de Fuego for bass clarinet, contrabass, and electronics provides contrasting color. Violinist Erik Ulman weighs in with Decay, Caldron, and experimental vocal and electronic sound mixer Jake Rodriguez contributes You Can't Take it with You. Finally, the evening builds to a rousing climax with the group improvisation A Collaborative Composition — a piece whose title lays bare the ensemble's no-nonsense approach. (SS)



MUSIC: Art Rock
Deerhoof w/ Death Sentence: Panda!

when: Mon 4.11 (9pm)
where: Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St, 415.621.4455) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Deerhoof | Death Sentence: Panda!

Deerhoof have so many internal contradictions that their sound constantly threatens to fatally deconstruct itself. The San Francisco art-pop group's apocalyptic rhythm section and insidiously subversive "songs" are freakishly offset by the vocals of Satomi Matsuzaki, whose airy soprano is so innocent, so completely lacking in irony, that her discombobulated lyrics (from "Milkman": "How beautiful I play sound / Boys and girls!") are rendered positively profound by the noise bombs squelching all around her. Kill Rock Stars' Death Sentence: Panda! open the show with angular, aggressive grooves perfectly suited for Deerhoof's post-punk assault, tangling up their rickety drums and bullhorn overload as though tying knots in pipe cleaners. (TG/PS)

ART
Shopdropping

when: Now through Sun 4.10 (Sat-Sun: 3-8pm)
where: Pond Gallery (324 14th St, 415.437.9151) map
price:
links: Event Info

If you've found a strangely compelling label inserted into the pocket of that hoodie you purchased at a big local clothing retailer's outlet, or were sure you saw a bottle of dish soap in the Home Care aisle at the supermarket that was somehow just not right, your eyes weren't necessarily deceiving you. It's quite possible you were just inadvertently taking part in some of the interventionist art actions catalogued in Pond Gallery's Shopdropping exhibition. Both documenting and instigating the insertion of art into chain retail stores, Shopdropping includes work by Marc Horowitz, the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco, the Center for Tactical Magic, Packard Jennings, Chris Cobb, Amar Ravva, Amanda Davidson, Jaime Cortez and Graham Barry. Be sure to reserve some time for a browse through the zine library curated by local zine archivist Smurph. (EC)



ART
New Work: Marilyn Minter

when: Now through Sun 7.24 (Thur-Tue: 11am-6pm)
where: SFMOMA (151 3rd St, 415.357.4000) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | Marylin Minter

SFMOMA's recently reintroduced New Work series is dedicated to showcasing innovative contemporary artists, and the third exhibition in this series is devoted to New York-based painter Marilyn Minter. This is Minter's first solo museum show, consisting of hyperrealistic close-ups of lips caked with strawberry red lipstick, crimson eyeshadow-laden eyes, and other excessively made-up body parts; throughout it accentuates bright colors and glossy surfaces, such as a set of glistening white teeth biting down on pearls. Minter's works constitute voluptuously grotesque commentaries on the fine line between the glamorous facade of advertising photography and the unattractive excesses of consumption it encourages. (EC)

Note: SFMOMA is open until 9pm every Thursday.

  Where did Marilyn get her MFA in Painting? The first ten correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.



THEATRE
Blood Relative

when: Now through Sun 4.17 (schedule)
where: Traveling Jewish Theatre (470 Florida St, 415.285.8080) map
price: $12-35
links: Event Info

Traveling Jewish Theatre brings a balanced approach to a tumultuous conflict — brewing since Israel gained statehood in 1948 — by making the political personal. Blood Relative follows Iby, who is born to an Israeli Jewish mother and a Palestinian Muslim father. His struggles with his identity, manifested in both his dreams and waking life, put a face and a consciousness to questions that are too often viewed as abstractions. Born as The Middle East Project, Blood Relative emerged from a collaboration between TJT artistic director Aaron Davidman and performers spanning a range of backgrounds — Jewish Israeli, Palestinian Israeli, Egyptian American, and more. The production not only provides deeper insight into a conflict that has no easy solution, but also into the crisis that arises from having to choose a side. (EF)

Note: Thur & Fri are pay-what-you-can.



Features TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


  REAL-FOTOGRAFIK: SeeSaw  

SeeSaw magazine has just released its second issue, and already its voice is being heard. Dedicated to presenting photography with an intense and serious focus on the everyday world, the magazine includes new work from contemporary photographers, as well as accompanying writings and collections of found imagery. In the current issue, look for Thomas Allen's haunting, glowing, and hilarious studies of the sculptural potential of pulp novels, and don't miss Jason Oddy's crisp, bright images of chairs, which display empty boardrooms with the cheeky, dispassionate feel of nature photography. (SND)



 


  CD REVIEW: Nostalgia 77, The Garden  

Ubiquity
Released March 2005
$14.99 (Amazon)

From The Garden's Piet Mondrian-meets-Blue Note Records artwork, to the groove heavy jams on the platter itself, it's evident that Ben Lamdin, aka Nostalgia 77, is a student of the old school. At any given moment it's possible to imagine you're listening to a collection of lost Mingus or Ornette Coleman B-sides. That is, until you hit Lamdin's version of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" (with the soulful help of vocalist Alice Russell), a cover so convincing you'd think Jack White had ripped him off. Originally established as a hip-hop producer with 2004's downbeat Songs for My Funeral, The Garden moves Lamdin forward by taking two steps back into the free-form jazz of yesteryear that he liberally samples. Where DJ Shadow or Rjd2 would grab a drum break and loop it, he lets the break play out, allowing it to blossom in The Garden of his own creation. (JCF)


 


  STREAMS: Fabric  

Not content to merely serve as one of the world's best venues for the latest and most innovative electronic sounds, Fabric also runs a damn fine label. Their back catalogue features mixes from the club's residents, and ranges from the deep, spaced-out vibes of Terry Francis to the urban-informed breaks of Joe Ransom and the spirited eclecticism of the late John Peel — whose mix chronicles five decades of music. This week, J Majik brings an assortment of drum 'n bass spanning the full jazzy-to-dark spectrum, and the Amalgamation of Soundz showcase their atmospheric leanings. Finally, Tony Humphries throws down his trademark soulful house, before branching into more freeform textures. (CJN)
