Cultural Stimuli in SF
Issue 180: transit flavor
With gas prices soaring because of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, more and more locals are taking mass transit. In the Bay Area, we're always on the go go go — so busy, in fact, we don't even slow down to have babies, like the woman who gave birth in a BART station. As constant bodies in motion, we have politically charged Oakland rockers From Monument to Masses taking us on a trip to the communist bloc, and one-stop fashion for the time-pressed and style-obsessed. Meanwhile, the de Young Museum makes a transition of another kind, stepping into the future with a brand new space. Keep moving, and spread it...

Event Info | Steve Mumford |
|
|
In 2003, Steve Mumford went to Iraq to document the occupation, not as a photographer or a journalist, but as an artist. In a series of dispatches to Harper's and artnet, he sent back watercolors that captured the battles and boredom of the American troops, as well as the everyday existence of the Iraqi people. The artist-as-war-correspondent makes a lot of sense — you can sit, paint, and think, rather than just shoot rolls and run. The tradition in this country dates back to Winslow Homer's prints of the Civil War (also for Harper's), but Mumford brought an un-embedded empathy all his own. Now collected in a book, the paintings are shown as a series of slides tonight. (TW)
Note: Steve Mumford also appears at the Cody's Books on Stockton Street on Wed 10.12 (7:30pm).

|
|
With just violin, guitar, and drums, Australian instrumental trio Dirty Three make moody post-rock while also incorporating desert lounge sounds like those of Calexico and modernist composer Henryk Górecki. OK, so the Górecki reference might be a stretch, but the fact that it comes to mind is a testament to how strongly Warren Ellis' violin factors into the mix. The group's new album, Cinder, is its first to feature vocals, but its live show promises to retain the expansive sonic sadness of the band's former work. (DRC)

People deceive, manipulate, and lie, and that's only natural, or so says Dr. Maureen O'Sullivan, USF Professor of Psychology. Tonight, O'Sullivan lectures on the purpose of deception in maintaining social relationships, how to read others' true feelings, and how lying actually leads to happiness. In this monthly Q&A with local scientists, San Franciscans get to relive their overcurious childhoods and ask questions that are too intricate to Google. And while tonight's installment may tell you lying is human nature, you can rest assured that the experts speaking in this series aren't pulling your leg. (SC)

LCD Soundsystem w/ the Juan Maclean
|
|
Bragging an unmatchable lineup of disco-punk rabble-rousers, New York's DFA is the best source for live dance music out there. And the Juan Maclean offer more inspired, squelchy electro-house jams for the booty-shaking masses than anyone else on the label. Headliners LCD Soundsystem are more likely to induce chaotic jumping than cheesy club grooves, but, then, slam-dancing is still technically dancing, so its all in good fun. Their recent self-titled album was terrific, but the live show is the place they lay down frenetic Harry Nilsson covers and where band leader James Murphy is able to fully inhabit his uncanny Mark E. Smith impression. (DRC)
What big opportunity did LCD Soundsystem founder James Murphy pass up before embarking on his musical career? The third correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.

Event Info | Tom Carter |
|
|
Better known as Charalambides, Tom and Christina Carter are freak-folk messiahs who have been speaking in tongues for more than a decade. From their early psychedelic ballads and tape manipulation to more recent journeys to the outer limits of space rock, these Texans have a knack for taking the basic elements of roots music and turning them into haunting, nearly subliminal compositions. It's a rare pleasure to welcome even one of them to our foggy shores, so Tom's performance at the Hotel Utah is not to be missed. His recent solo releases have focused on the pedal steel, taking that slick twang down the garden path of ambient guitar. It's anyone's guess where tonight will take him, but, as they say, it's sure to be a hell of a trip. (TW)

|
|
During their 2004 tour with Sonic Youth, Wolf Eyes' John Olson ended up in the ER. Why? He suffered head trauma when he hit himself with the mace he was swinging on stage (that's hard rocking). This trio of Michigan-based, noise-making infidels hint at where they're coming from with song titles like "Stabbed in the Face" and "Urine Burn," but the level of their monstrously noisy grooves goes well beyond that. They put most other noise, metal, and punk bands to shame with an intensity reminiscent of Slayer and Throbbing Gristle. Wolf Eyes are as rough, rugged, and raw as it gets. (DRC)

Event Info | Opeth | Pelican |
|
|
You only see your shoes on every downbeat as you bang your head to Pelican, so "gazing" may not be the proper term, but the Chicago four-piece's instrumental dirges certainly inspire introspection. More traditional metal adjectives also apply to the band's sound: triumphant, epic, and heavy. The same can be said for Opeth, the enigmatic progressive death metal outfit from Sweden. Vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt drops audiences to their knees with his inhuman shifts from clean singing to Cookie Monster growls, and the band's major key heroics always devolve into sinister, double-kick
frenzy. Good thing you remembered to bring a fresh pair of undies. (GM)
To whom were the Opeth albums Deliverance and Damnation dedicated? The second correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.

Devil Music Ensemble performing Nosferatu (1922)
|
|
No disrespect to Bela Lugosi, Gary Oldman, or Klaus Kinski, but Max Schreck remains film's strangest and creepiest vampire. His ghostly frame and director F.W. Murnau's experimental lighting and oblique camera angles make 1922's Nosferatu — a thinly veiled and unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula — a movie that easily earns its lofty stature among horror buffs and film historians alike. Like most silent movies, it's now usually shown with a pre-recorded soundtrack. Live musical accompaniment by the Devil Music Ensemble should help this one-time screening live up to the film's original title:Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror. (JK)
Note: Devil Music Ensemble also perform Big Stakes (1922) at 7pm. Admission is $10, or $20 for both shows.

Thursday Night Live: Mon Cousin Belge w/ Brookhaven, Clitastrophe, and Parker Street Cinema
|
|
A raucous rock show at the Eagle Tavern is a rite of passage for any San Francisco underground music fan. A leather bar on most nights, the hallowed SOMA establishment has planted itself firmly in SF's indie scene thanks to its swelling Thursday Night Live showcase, and tonight's bill doesn't disappoint. Headliners Mon Cousin Belge add costumes and a bit of operatic extravagance to their otherwise dark and sludgy garage rock, while the all-female Clitastrophe get audiences rocking with dirty pop pleasure. Starters Brookhaven and Parker Street Cinema, both instrumental lineups, compose the kind of rock songs that Gershwin might have, if given a distortion pedal or five. (KD)

Die-hard Mountain Goats fans must go to an unlikely venue to hear an exclusive, unreleased song.

The premiere of New Monster Avenue in EmSpace's fifth season show is your only chance to hear it. Songs for You reappears in this show, along with another new work, the mesmerizing How to See Red, so you have no excuse not to go. Oh, and the dancers are hot. (JU)

While modern dance is known to showcase a wide range of body types, tiny dancers still get the most work. Not here. Big Moves is celebrating its fifth year of increasing size diversity in dance. What a treat for San Francisco that it's also brought guest artist Alexandra Beller, who unwittingly got the critics talking about different body types when she joined the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company in 1995. Beller didn't necessarily set out to be a political force in dance, but she has become one. Above all else, however, she is a tremendous dancer. (JU)

|
|
Purposefully casting off what the band's leader Joel Morales saw as a "sun-kissed-California-easy-
breezy-beach-pop label," Hawthorne, California's dios (malos) are back with a new album the band considers influenced by the Beach Boys' more experimental compositions than their accessible sugar-coated harmonies. And yes, if you're wondering, the (malos) was tacked on to the band's name in apparent response to a threat of legal action from metal singer Ronnie James Dio. Produced by Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Modest Mouse), and recorded after a year spent on the road with Grandaddy, the Shins, and the Decemberists, dios (malos)'s eponymous sophomore album embraces a more exploratory sound that delves into the psychedelic in sound and content.

From Monument to Masses
|
|
If you want your politics and your post-punk too, From Monument to Masses use "communist rock" to galvanize their audiences. Self-proclaimed revolutionaries, the Oakland-based trio celebrates the release of its second full-length album, Schools of Thought Contend. Less noisy and more artful than it used to be, the group discovers new gravity in meandering, bittersweet instrumentals inspired by the likes of Tortoise and Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Like true communists, the trio lacks a distinct frontman, instead relying on a well-edited selection of vocal samples from various political and cultural luminaries to punctuate (and underscore) its melodies and ethos.

Whose minimalism will reign supreme? Who cares! This is the best techno bill to roll through town since, oh, last week. Cologne powerhouse Kompakt needs no introduction, thanks in no small part to its chief lieutenant Superpitcher. Berlin upstarts Areal claim rights to this grudge match largely because of their breakout star Ada. While Superpitcher's restrained microgoth might seem worlds apart from Ada's subtle electro-pop, the two headliners share a secret lust for rock: Superpitcher's courted crossover with covers of Brian Eno and M83, while Ada blessed her album with a version of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps." Fortunately for us all, they've secured the services of the unique Miss Kittin to ref this techno throwdown. (TW)

Patrick Makuakāne is not your typical Hawaiian hula master. As company director of Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu, a San Francisco dance company celebrating its 20th anniversary, Mukuakāne and his devoted dance corps bring unorthodox styles to traditional hula and choreograph numbers to rather non-traditional music from the likes of Annie Lennox and Etta James. Highlights include "Fireman's Hula" performed by two members of the San Francisco Fire Department, and "Gay Hawaiian Party," a jab at Hollywood's glitz. Catch these and other "talk-stories" as the performance company updates the rich tradition of the Hawaiian Islands. (SNS)

Tribute: Donald Sutherland
|
|
Beginning his career with a string of low budget horror movies, Donald Sutherland was groomed to become the next Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee, not an actor who would eventually share sex scenes with Julie Christie. Yet after Robert Altman cast him in 1970's M*A*S*H, Sutherland became a bona fide, if unlikely, movie star. Since then, he's worked — and excelled — in seemingly every genre imaginable, from farce to intense drama. The Mill Valley Film Festival honors the prolific actor with this tribute, which includes film clips, an interview with Sutherland, and a
screening of his latest project, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. (JK)

Deerhoof w/ Octis and the Whysps
|
|
Deerhoof have so many internal contradictions that their sound constantly threatens to deconstruct itself into oblivion. The San Francisco art-pop quartet's apocalyptic rhythm section and insidious, subversive "songs" are freakishly offset by the vocals of Satomi Matsuzaki, whose airy soprano is so guileless, so completely lacking in irony, that her dim command of the English language (from "Milkman": "How beautiful I play sound / Boys and girls!") is rendered positively profound by the noise bombs squelching around her. Deerhoof are joined by labelmates Octis and latter day psych/folk collective the Whysps. (TG)

Caryl Phillips: Dancing in the Dark
|
|
In his latest novel, Caryl Philips takes on the skeleton in the entertainment
industry's closet — the minstrel show. Dancing in the Dark chronicles the life of brilliant black actor Bert Williams (1874-1922), who was, at his peak, the highest-paid entertainer in America. But in order to appeal to his white audience, the light-skinned Williams had to darken up his face with burnt cork and affect the servile, grinning role of the "darkie." Spike Lee skewered the legacy of minstrelry in his volatile film Bamboozled, and while Dancing has similarly searing critiques, it offers a nuanced portrait of the performer's personal life. What really carries this novel, though, is Phillips' remarkable gift for mingling multiple voices and sources in a single story. (TW)

One can't help but think of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard during Irish novelist/playwright Edna O'Brien's Family Butchers. But Butchers, which also details a tense reunion on a doomed family estate, doesn't follow the same trajectory, instead leaving many of its conflicts unresolved — the narrative hovers like the fog that shrouds the play's decaying Irish country home. The play gives its actors ample room to stretch, and the Magic Theatre's recently opened production takes full advantage of the opportunity — and despite an excessive running time, succeeds in capturing the battle between humor and devastation in O'Brien's text.

CD REVIEW: Dipset, More Than Music Vol. 1 |
|
|
Koch Records
Released July 2005
$16.97 (Undergroundhiphop.com)
|
After years of hustling, Harlem's Diplomats have entered their dynastic phase with a scorching mixtape that showcases the best of the Dipspawn. If every crew's tape is a team effort, it's about time we started handing out awards — but sit down Cam'ron and Juelz, you've already won your share. MVP goes to JR Writer, for his verse on "Get Down with the Dipset." Best hustle belongs to none other than Hell Rell, for that laconic, murderous-but-can't-really-bother flow on "The Pit." And the tracks? More of the usual top-shelf beats heavy on janky keys and truly epic strings — no one does strings like the Dips. Shame they stuck the few females with cheesy, soul-sampling numbers at the end, but it's a bit much to expect gender parity from Cam's clique. Yet with only one skit, this is as lean and mean a team as they come. (TW)

STREAMS/PODCASTS: Resonance FM |

Resonance FM, London's first not-for-profit, art-radio station, has recently begun podcasting selected shows — allowing listeners to get their cultural fixes on the go. There's the beats and breaks-oriented podcast Rhythm Incursions, which claims to be one of the first-ever shows to be aired with the complete consent and involvement of the record labels it supports. For an alternative (read: leftist) take on finance, check The Truth About Markets, with former stockbroker and current anti-capitalist Max Keiser, who runs an activist hedge fund. Perhaps the most fun, however, is just tuning in for a random sampling of the station's vivid and multi-faceted personality. (CJN)
