Issue 209: goliath flavor

As Cinco de Mayo reminds us, the little guy doesn't always lose. This weekend, we celebrate a time when a small Mexican army defeated an occupying French force against all odds. And, in one fashion or another, all sorts of folks are taking on giants these days — whether it's Stephen Colbert challenging President Bush or Mylo facing down Madonna. Director Luis Buñuel's 1972 film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie tackles big institutions like the church and state, while the OtherDANCE Festival goes after the "fourth wall." Even a crew of beauticians does its best to improve life for women in Afghanistan, and Oakland's Irresistible Small Creatures art collective demonstrates that you don't need a large space to create an installation with huge impact. And while you're fighting the good fight, there are two things we need your help on: Flavorpill is up for a 2006 Webby in the lifestyle category and we could use your vote; plus, we're running a reader survey and we would absolutely adore your input. Root for the underdog, and spread it...

 

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

Spotlight


Formosan Motion
Neither state nor province, Taiwan exists not only on the fiery Pacific Rim, but on a volatile fault line in US-Chinese relations. Aftershocks: Experimental Films and Animation from Taiwan presents works that are emblematic of the precarious geopolitical and social positions on which this young democracy is balanced.

MUSIC: Creepy Folk
Half-Handed Cloud w/ Vollmar

when: Tue 5.2 (9:30pm)
where: Hemlock Tavern (1131 Polk St, 415.923.0923) map
price: $5
links: Event Info | Half-Handed Cloud | Vollmar

Of all the vocally eccentric artists to arise from the fringes of the freak-folk movement, few sing as disarmingly as John Ringhofer, the genius behind Half-Handed Cloud. While Joanna Newsom chirps pure pixie magic and Sufjan Stevens (an Half-Handed collaborator) crafts whispered paeans to each of the 50 states, Ringhofer coaxes old department-store autoharps and keyboards into humming frail micro-songs that give the Ramones a run for their money in brevity. In a true case of art-imitating-life-imitating-art, H-HC's haunting, disembodied falsetto recounts Biblical tales, while in normal life, Ringhofer lives in a Berkeley church. Vollmar open. (CH)

  What prompted H-HC's Ringhofer to learn the guitar? The first and fifth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

Caesurae

price:
links: Event Info

The works in Caesurae set forth an emerging post-post-modern conception of human corporeality. NY-based Jordan Eagles combines blood with acrylics, resin, and metallic powders in radiant paintings that illuminate the unity of body and spirit. Clint Imboden, an East Bay photographer and installation artist, explores psychological pain via a large-scale, three-dimensional installation integrating found x-rays and other images. Paintings by Craig LaRotonda and wife Kim Maria address themes of death, decay, rebirth, and human history through images of human organs overlaying haloed, cherub/fetus-like creatures. SF-based David Zuttermeister combines found objects with plaster, toothpicks, wood, and foam to construct collages and vaguely figurative sculptures. (BMS)

Note: This exhibit runs through Fri 6.2 (Tue-Fri: 10am-5pm / Sat: 11:30am-5pm).

Schmooze with art lovers on a budget and purchase work at 50% off the regular price at tonight's opening reception for the SFMOMA Artists Warehouse Sale. One of the year's most anticipated art sales and annual fundraisers, the event features the artwork of more than 300 West Coast artists, including Jamie Brunson, Willard Dixon, Mike Henderson, and Kenji Nanao. Proceeds from the sale support the SFMOMA Artists Gallery's exhibition program. Tonight's festivities feature music by the Creole Bells. (JLG)



DISCUSSION
A.M. Homes in Conversation with Vendela Vida

when: Wed 5.3 (8pm)
where: Herbst Theatre (401 Van Ness Ave, 415.392.4400) map
price: $18.50
links: Event Info | A.M. Homes

A longtime peddler of brilliant and witheringly bleak fiction, A.M. Homes has finally turned out an (almost) optimistic novel, This Book Will Save Your Life. Rest assured, however, that despite a newfound sense of social responsibility, Homes' trademark black humor is still very much in stock. Her ceaseless sass finds a worthy interlocutor in Believer doyenne Vendela Vida, whose brief but lovely And Now You Can Go had tongues atwitter two years ago. (TW)



DJ
Mylo

when: Wed 5.3 (9pm-2am)
where: boca (414 Jessie St, 415.756.8890) map
price: $12 / $10 advance
links: Event Info | Mylo

On "Destroy Rock & Roll," the title track of Scottish producer Mylo's effervescent dance album, a voice calls for the destruction of early MTV icons like Madonna, Huey Lewis, and even the ill-advised duo of Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. It's a playful nod to the spirit of overearnest '80s pop couched in clean, glossy house. Mylo's sound is timeless; stripped-down synths, chopped-up beats, and revved-up tempos color the electroclash-tinged, autoerotic funk of "Muscle Car," and bubbly songs like "In My Arms" and "Guilty of Pleasure" play out like slick, club-friendly homages to a John Hughes film. (PS)

Wed 5.3 - Tue 5.30 (Mon-Sat: 10am-6pm / Sun: 12-5pm) Hang Art (556 & 567 Sutter St, 415.434.4264) map

Event Info
 
Catherine Ryan's densely layered paintings and works on paper explore the role of family snapshots in experience and memory. Moments of the familiar and the obscure coalesce; warm tones offset suburban figures with obfuscated facial details and exotic animals. (BMS)

Note: An opening reception for this exhibition is held on Thur 5.4 (6-8pm).

MUSIC: Avant-Jazz
Joe Morris/Henry Kaiser/Damon Smith/Weasel Walter

when: Thur 5.4 (6:30 & 9:30pm)
where: Hemlock Tavern (1131 Polk St, 415.923.0923) map
price: $8 (6:30pm) / $7 (9:30pm)
links: Event Info | Joe Morris | Henry Kaiser | Damon Smith | Weasel Walter

A musician who smoothes the sound of New York's downtown avant-jazz scene without compromising its experimental intensity, Joe Morris — along with elder statesmen like Derek Bailey and upstarts like Nels Cline — has become one of modern music's most innovative guitarists. This bill pairs him with Bay Area comrade-in-arms Henry Kaiser — a prolific, well-connected (Fred Frith, Diamanda Galàs) guitarist in his own right. The two improvise with an equally formidable rhythm section: bassist Damon Smith and drummer Weasel Walter of legendary Chicago noise outfit the Flying Luttenbachers. Crisp guitar work meets anarchic rhythm in two unpredictable sets. (JK)

Note: Gutbucket, Carneyball Johnson, and Geoff Berner open the later show.

  What instrument did Morris attempt to play before the guitar? The third and fourth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

Michelle Tea: Rose of No Man's Land

when: Thur 5.4 (7pm)
where: City Lights (261 Columbus Ave, 415.362.8193) map
price:
links: Event Info | Michelle Tea

One of San Francisco's sharpest and most beloved voices returns to pure prose after penning the graphic novel Rent Girl, which is currently being developed for television. But while readers are used to autobio from Tea, this time she's penned a novel that's every bit as raw and real as her memoir and poetry. Rose of No Man's Land is a queer, sentimental education, set in a small New England town, in which Tea infuses the tale of Trisha and Rose with her characteristically wry but tender tone. (TW)

Event Info
 
Brian Posehn sure does love him some metal. The hulking red-haired balding fellow from Mr. Show has a goggle-eyed, slightly dazed demeanor that recalls your best stoner buddy in high school — Pantera-obsessed, quick with a fart joke, and secretly way smarter than everyone gives him credit for. (TG)

FILM
Somersault

when: Opens Fri 5.5
where: Landmark Lumiere Theatre (1572 California St, 415.267.4893) map
price: $9.75
links: Event Info | Somersault

With her eyes of sky and cloud of pale angel hair, 16-year-old Heidi (up-and-comer Abbie Cornish) exudes that intoxicating combination of receptivity and avarice unique to young beauties unversed in their other assets. After an ill-advised tryst with her mom's boyfriend, she flees, penniless and homeless, to a small Australian town where she pursues a series of misbegotten sexual liaisons with both curiosity and desperation. This is a movie that delves into the inner workings of a "slut" — that is, a girl trading on desire, unchecked by self-respect or self-knowledge — and it is brilliantly, sympathetically rendered with a creeping sense of doom and an eye as lovely as its subject. (LR)

  Abbie Cornish received the Australian Film Institute Young Actor's Award for which role? The first three correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this film.



MUSIC: Brazilian Jazz
João Bosco

when: Fri 5.5 (8pm)
where: Herbst Theatre (401 Van Ness Ave, 415.392.4400) map
price: $25-59
links: Event Info | João Bosco

Trained as a civil engineer, João Bosco turned to music instead of building dams and bridges. Bosco, who grew up under Brazil's 1960s military dictatorship became an inspiration for the oppressed and censored musicians of his genration. Using guitar and yodeling-style vocals, Bosco forged a sound that blends samba, bossa nova, and jazz. Today, despite his international acclaim, Bosco seldom ventures abroad to perform, making tonight's performance a rare treat. (SNS)

  If you were to write a chorus for an anti-oppression song that included a yodel, how would it go? Our two favorite responses in 50 words or less each win a pair of tickets to this show.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)

when: Sat 5.6 (6:30pm)
where: Pacific Film Archive (2575 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, 510.642.0808) map
price: $8
links: Event Info

Made when the director was 72, this charming Oscar winner is no less forgiving of Luis Buñuel's usual targets — the state, the church, propriety, etc. — yet delivers its critique in a gentle, mischievous tone. Buñuel delights in sending his representative cross-section of the elite through a narrative hall of mirrors, in which each successive dream-within-a-dream and random aside continually prevents the characters from simply finishing dinner. Buñuel denies his ostensibly bougie viewers any closure as well, but after succumbing to so much narrative foreplay, there's a queer satisfaction in finding oneself at both ends of the joke. (MS)

  Which style of cinema was Buñuel credited with pioneering? The first and third correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

OtherDANCE Festival

when: Sat 5.6 (7-11pm)

price:
links: Event Info

Already home to indie-press auctions and outsized shadow puppetry, the dynamic interior of Warehouse 1310 proudly hosts the West Bay installation of OtherDANCE's genre shakeup. By eliminating the proscenium stage and other barriers that separate audience and artist, the space becomes more atelier than auditorium, incorporating the viewer and venue into one seamless performance. Featuring work by no-name and big-name dancers and choreographers from Oakland, SF, and New York, tonight's multimedia show aims to break boundaries, stereotypes, and walls in the warehouse's pure white event space. (CH)

Note: This festival also takes place Sat 5.13 at the Lobot Gallery (7-11pm).



MUSIC: Indie Pop
The Essex Green w/ Irving and Seiko and Salome

where: Rickshaw Stop (155 Fell St, 415.861.2011) map
price: $12 / $10 advance
links: Event Info | The Essex Green | Irving | Seiko and Salome

Too bad the Essex Green didn't make it out for last year's Popfest — they would have fit right in beside Little Darla favorites the California Oranges, as well as the Love-inspired hooks of Voxtrot. Nevertheless, these very recent graduates of Orange Twin's school of sinfully sweet psychedelic pop have gained a hint of gritty Americana for their latest release, Cannibal Sea, channeling a little Woody Guthrie alongside their usual Shins- and Mamas and Papas-esque grooves. Completing the pretty pop picture are the backbeat-loving boys of Irving and Seiko and Salome (formerly From Bubblegum to Sky). (CH)

  In Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise, the nerds short out the Hotel Coral Essex sign so that it reads what? The second and fourth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.



MUSIC: Indie Rock
Islands w/ Why?

when: Sat 5.6 (9pm)
where: Slim's (333 11th St, 415.255.0333) map
price: $14
links: Event Info | Islands | Why?

Way back in 2003, when the Unicorns busted out Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?, there were those who loved the cheeky art-rockers unconditionally and those who loved to hate them. In the time since its debut, the group split up. Now, one member down, the remaining two have re-formed as Islands. The rag-tag army of musical misfits that surrounds Nick Diamonds and J'aime Tambeur ratchets up the Unicorns-style antics with even quirkier orchestrations and stunningly complex weirdo-pop harmonies. Though the fi' is a little hi-er, their happy hooks and rambunctious spirit remain thankfully intact. (MG/TG)

Coney Island's raucous and raunchy maritime-themed gathering of tattoo artists, neo-burlesque aficionados, bike punks, carnies, and merfolk — the Mermaid Parade — has washed up in San Francisco for the second year in a row as the Mermayd Parade. Dig out your sexy pirate costume from Halloween and work on your sea legs as art cars, float-riding rock group the Mermen, and all varieties of freak-flag-carrying revelers make their way through the Financial District in celebration of the Spring Equinox. Oh yeah, and boobies. Lots of boobies. (MS)

Aftershocks: Experimental Films and Animation from Taiwan

when: Sun 5.7 (7:30pm)
where: Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (701 Mission St, 415.978.2787) map
price: $8
links: Event Info

As suggested by its title, the works in this program of recent Taiwanese experimental animation and film register the subtler cultural dislocations and more sudden political realignments that Taiwan has undergone in its recent history. Anita Chang, a Bay Area filmmaker who has worked as a resident artist and Fulbright lecturer in Taiwan tracing the reverberations of the island's rapid economic ascension and cultural discontents, is guest curator of tonight's series. Chen Chieh-Jen's Factory, Hou Chi-jan's Stardust 15749001, and Nana Wu's Farewell 1999 are included in tonight's program. (MS)



MUSIC: Acid Sludge

when: Sun 5.7 (9pm)
where: Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St, 415.621.4455) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | Acid Mothers Temple

Acid Mothers Temple, a venerable collective of Osakan weirdos, have been giving psych fans heart palpitations since 1996 with their chest-caving, lobe-numbing brand of acid rock. The band spreads sluggish drones, keening synths, and hypnotic chants over a sturdy and thrashing metal backbone, and on its latest record, nods to King Crimson and Black Sabbath signal the addition of sludgy bass to this already heady sound. It's easy to see how the group's demented hippie look and mumblings about communal living gave some gullible fans the impression it was a cult, but the only reprogramming going on tonight happens in your ears — especially about a half-hour in, when the band breaks out the theremin.

Have you noticed your inbox filling up again with messages from MoveOn and its ilk? Sure, there's a lot going down: war, immigration issues, high-profile resignations. But, crucially, the midterm elections arrive in November, and with the months passing by, the petitioning and fundraising are growing more frenzied. Stephen Elliott, whose book Looking Forward to It humorously details the 2004 Democratic presidential campaign, pulls his weight by starting this reading series. Tonight, Elliott leads five other writers — ranging from a food critic (Steve Almond) to a chronicler of the American West (Pam Houston) — who read from their work to raise money for progressive candidates in contested districts.

Irresistible Small Creatures, a collective of four Oakland-based artists, joined forces the same way that musicians form a band. Creating together, sharing shows, and touring, the four have made it their mission to explore the intersection of meaning and environment. For their latest installation, they're tackling the unique space at Rock Paper Scissors Collective, whose uptown Oakland storefront combines a gallery with a retail shop stocked with locally made clothes and crafts. The Most Beautiful Sunset that You've Ever Seen installation incorporates painting and drawing directly on the gallery wall with a mock retail shop designed to mirror the real one. (JG)

I Am a Sex Addict

when: Now playing
where: Balboa Theatre (3630 Balboa St, 415.221.8184) map

Caveh Zahedi's warts-and-all camcorder documentary about his struggle with sex addiction appeals to fans of Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives (1992) or Auto Focus (2002), as well as aspiring shrinks. Zahedi's ability to be brutally honest cannot be separated from his infuriating narcissism — the very thing that ruins each of his relationships becomes the motor driving the film. His compulsion to screw is now a compulsion to tell. In perhaps the film's most perverse twist, the viewer has paid to become his analyst. (MS)

  UNO, DOS, TRES, CUATRO: Cinco de Mayo  

Contrary to popular misconception, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day. It's about the little guy, a small Mexican army commanded by General Ignacio Zaragoza at the Battle of Puebla, fending off the big guy, namely Napoleon III's occupying French force. To celebrate this David-defeats-Goliath story of a young country defeating imperialists, you can whoop it up all weekend. Kicking off with a parade at 10am on Friday, Cinco de Mayo San Francisco 2006 (themed "Goooooooal Mexico!" to warm up for the World Cup) promises mariachi, salsa, hip-hop, and more. All this, along with churros, tortas, frescas, and the like at Parque de Niños. On Sunday, Oakland's 2006 Cinco de Mayo Fruitvale Festival and Parade offers more of the mouth-watering taquería fare (plus fresh strawberry daiquiris!), 200 vendors, and three stages of entertainment including Yolanda Del Rio, Julius Melendez, Manicato, Johnny Laboriel, and Grupo Mojado on the stretch of International between 33rd and 40th Avenues.

  CD REVIEW: Luciano, Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi Volume 2  

Soma
Released April 2006
$19.91 (Caiman)

Translating minimal techno from a club context to a home-listening environment can be a dicey proposition, as nuanced melodies and subtle textures are often lost in a less immersive setting. Fortunately, Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi Volume 2, from Chilean-born, Swiss-raised, Berlin-based producer Luciano, doesn't require strobe lights and a giant subwoofer to appreciate. The mix shuns obvious anthems for below-radar selections spanning meditative, percussion-based arrangements, such as Luciano and Thomas Melchior's "Father" and the warped melodies and playful pop-and-click cadence of Matt John's "The Rising Scope." Those familiar with the polyrhythms and depth of soul behind Luciano's own productions won't be surprised with the musically innovative tracks tapped for this session, which was performed in one take with vinyl — an increasing rarity for mix releases. (CJN)


 


  STREAMS: Dirty  

Fresh from our francophone friends at Dirty, we get to indulge in a low-key mix of acoustic folk selections from Hope Sandoval and other sultry crooners, created by the site's in-house editors. For the uptempo-inclined, there's a techno, dubstep and hip-hop-tinged set from French producer/turntablist Feadz — the production mastermind behind the recent pop sensation that is Uffie. Also, don't miss newly posted videos, including a live performance by the Soft Machine from the '70s, a piece from French avant hip-hoppers TTC, and a link to vintage Blondie clips. Finally, Sporto Kantes spins a set of post-punk rarities and stone-cold classics to get you through the week with some swagger in your step. (CJN)
