WEIRD NEWS
Dateline: Ireland
Ireland’s Court of Appeal briefly legalized
nearly all illicit drugs—but only for 24 hours.
A ruling by the court found a section of the
country’s current drug legislation
unconstitutional. As a result more than 100
substances, including ecstasy and ketamine,
suddenly became legal. The country’s
parliament convened right away and passed
emergency drug control laws. The laws were
ratified by the lower house of parliament, but
still had to be ratified by the Senate and
signed into law by President Michael D.
Higgins. The legislative process took nearly 36
hours, leaving a category known as
benzodiazepines legal. A memorandum for the
new legislation confirmed, “All substances
controlled by means of Government Orders
made under section 2(2) cease to be controlled
with immediate effect, and their possession
ceases to be an offense.” Most other drugs,
including heroin, cocaine and cannabis, are
banned under separate legislation. The ruling
came during the prosecution of a man for
possession of methylethcathinone, which was
among a number of substances added to the
controlled drugs list in 2010. In their ruling
the Court of Appeal decided that the decision
to ban particular drugs should have been
considered by parliament before being enacted
by the relevant minister.
Dateline: Germany
Archaeologists in the Bavarian city of
Regensburg say they have unearthed two
pretzels that could be as old as 300 years.
Dorothee Ott, a spokesperson for the Bavarian
Office of Historical Conservation, said earlier
this month that the pretzel pieces will be on
display at the Regensburg Historical Museum.
According to the archaeologists who found
them, the pretzels and other baked goods were
badly burned, which is why they were discarded
and managed to survive for so long. Carbon
dating places the snacks at between 1700 and
1800 AD. Apparently, the doughy treat is
nearly identical to the product served in today’s
German beer halls. “It’s a normal pretzel,” Ott
said. “Maybe a little smaller than today.”
Dateline: Florida
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that thieves
made off with a refrigerated tractor-trailer
filled with $85,000 worth of shredded
mozzarella cheese. The cheese was bound for a
Hungry Howies Pizza distribution center in
central Florida when it went missing from a
truck stop in Summerfield. According to the
article, the driver and his girlfriend left the
trailer there on Saturday night so a mechanic
could look at it. On Sunday morning the
woman reported the refrigerated trailer missing
to Marion County Sheriff’s Department. The
trailer itself is valued at $62,000—$23,000 less
than the cheese.
Dateline: Pennsylvania
An inmate at a prison in western Pennsylvania
admits to sending a threatening letter to
President Obama—albeit to the wrong
address. Joseph Savage pleaded guilty on
March 11 in federal court to threatening the
president and his family. Prosecutors say
Savage was awaiting trial on child molestation
charges in Fayette County Prison in October
2012 when he took time to pen a letter
threatening to “torture and murder” the
Obamas. Unfortunately, the letter was mailed
to 1400 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington,
DC. The White House is located at 1600
Pennsylvania Ave. Savage’s sentence will be
added on to the 12 1/2 to 25 years he’s already
been sentenced to for aggravated indecent
assault on a child and corruption of minors.
Dateline: Pennsylvania
A man came up with a cunning plan to avoid
being arrested for public drunkenness by police
in Wilkes-Barre. According to the Times
Leader, officers came upon 45-year-old Maurice
Franklin around 5:50pm on March 9 after he
jumped into traffic. Believing him to be under
the influence of drugs or alcohol, police
questioned Franklin. The man claimed he was
walking erratically to avoid stepping in dog
feces on the sidewalk. Officers didn’t believe
the excuse, but when they tried to arrest him,
Franklin flopped down on the sidewalk and
started rolling in the dog poop. He told officers
they couldn’t arrest him if he was “covered in
shit.” Turns out they could. Franklin was taken
into custody and held until sober. a

OPINION | ¡ASK A MEXICAN!
Special Best-of Edition
BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO
ear Mexican: Why do
wabs, regardless of
age and body size,
always have one hand
rubbing their bellies
under their shirts? Is
this something that is
inherent in all wabs?
Because they all do
it, especially the
“fresh from the
border” ones. I
don’t get it. I’m a
pocho, and I’ve
never seen other
pochos do it. Are wabs
finger-banging their belly
buttons or what? They all
look so fucking stupid doing this.
Just go to Home Depot and watch them!
D
—Pocho with Albóndigas Grandes
Dear Pocho: What’s with the panza hate? In
previous eras girth was a sign of bounty and
promise—I’m thinking Santa Claus, William
Howard Taft and the Earth Mother. That’s still
the case in Mexico: Next to a broom-thick
mustache and a gray Ford truck, a glorious,
well-rounded stomach is our ultimate proof of
machismo. A panza’s layers of fat fuel our
insatiable work ethic; its orbital shape is a
testament to the wives we keep in kitchens at
home. Gabachos might work out, but taut
muscles cannot compete with the centripetal
force of a panza. Kids flock to it; crowds stare
in jealousy when a magnificent specimen
passes by. So when we rub our panzas, we pat
the larded treasure that brings us success,
popularity and prosperity—recall how
Buddhists massage Siddhartha’s plump belly
for luck. And in an amazing coincidence,
Theravada Buddhists celebrate a mid-July
holiday called Khao Phansa, where the faithful
live in monasteries for three months and
conclude with a gluttonous festival of food—
all in the name of expanding that sweet, sweet
panza.
ear Mexican: Not long ago, I attended a
Los Tigres del Norte concert at a small
hall with no dance floor. The people
attending were supposed to sit down and
enjoy the music. Five minutes into the
music, these jumping beans started dancing
in the aisle. Within minutes, half of the
D
[6]
attendees were going up and down the aisles
dancing to the music. It’s not the first time
I’ve seen Mexicans create improvised dance
floors. Why do Mexicans
love dancing so much?
—Lambada Louie
Dear Gabaho: Anyone who
needs to ask why people
dance to Los Tigres del
Norte—the norteño
supergroup that combines
traditional polka beats
with socially conscious
lyrics to create something
that’s part The Clash, part
Lawrence Welk and puro
mexicano—has no soul or is a
gabacho. How can you not sway
to their metronomic bass, their lush
accordion trills, their canned sound
effects, member Hernán Hernández’ mexcelente
Mexi-mullet? Mexican music is among the
most danceable outside Brazil because its
practitioners understand that nalga-shaking
stirs humanity into the realm of ecstasy.
Almost all the genres that constitute Mexican
popular music—the aforementioned norteño,
the brass-band strut of banda sinaloense, son
jarocho’s twinkling harps and guitars, even the
dark riffs of Mexican heavy metal—put the
focus on rhythms rather than lyrics (the
exception is ranchera, the domain of
drunkards and macho pussy men).
But dancing for Mexicans is more than a
mere physical act. Every hallmark moment in
Mexican society centers on dances—weddings,
baptisms, informal gatherings, birthdays,
anniversaries. More noteworthy are the dances
held by hometown benefit associations that
raise billions of dollars for the rebuilding of
villages in Mexico. Tellingly, Mexican society
does not consider girls and boys to be women
or men until they begin to dance. Once
they’re eligible to dance, Mexicans are eligible
to take care of their community too. Mexicans
know that dancing solidifies trust, creates
community and repairs the injured civic and
personal soul. Besides, it’s a great way for
Mexican adolescents to grope each other in a
parent-approved environment. a

FRIDAY
MARCH 20
You ever wander
Expo New Mexico
300 San Pedro NE
through a meadow or
alibi.com/e/135692
just down the street
of your neighborhood,
10am to 6pm
find a smooth stone
amongst jagged rocks
and put it in your pocket for a rainy day? If so,
then you might be the target audience for the
46th annual Gem, Mineral, and Jewelry Expo
at Expo New Mexico (300 San Pedro NE).
Hosted by the Albuquerque Gem & Mineral
Club, this year’s theme is Treasures of the
Earth, and you’ll no doubt find some treasures
in the form of quartz, mica, sapphires,
emeralds … or whatever your birthstone
happens to be. The event kicks off on Friday,
March 20, from 10am to 6pm, and continues
through Saturday, March 21 (10am to 6pm),
and Sunday, March 22 (10am to 5pm). Feel
free to take the kiddos because if they’re 12
and under, they get in gratis. Unfortunately,
their adult caregivers will have to pay a $3
entry fee, which is nothing when considering
the event’s silent auction, visits by a live wolf
and rock bottom prices for minerals. Oh, and
on Friday you can get in for only a dollar.
Need more incentive? I didn’t think so. Head to

STAGE WHISPERS
ARTS | FeATuRe
BY BLAKE DRIVER
House specialty
“When launching your marshmallow sixshooters, please aim below the neck.” This basic
instruction for audience participation in the
latest Victorian-styled melodrama by SouthWest
Rural Theatre Project harks back to a sepiatoned era of stage when fluffy dime-novel plots
riled up patrons to the point of demolishing the
fabled fourth wall—that imaginary barrier
between performer and spectator—with a
barrage of rotten tomatoes, both proverbial and
real. This interactive format is precisely the type
of entertainment the nonprofit touring company
hopes to recreate at The Cell Theatre (700 First
Street NW) with I Do, I Do, Too-Doo, or The
Heart House Home for Gals, running Thursday,
March 19, through Sunday, March 22.
In this simple story, two heroes contend
with villainess Ebony Tresses, who threatens to
derail a dance revue at a girls’ home that’s being
mounted to attract eligible bachelors.
Keyboardist Phyllis Sanchez elevates the hourlong play with her whimsical musicality, but the
players’ dance numbers don’t entirely make up
for their lack of vocal projection, some
questionable humor and a poorly wrangled
pooch, so keep that six-shooter handy. In fact,
entry includes projectiles to hurl at performers
along with boos, hisses and cheers, all of which
will go a long way to encourage this company
endeavoring to involve the community and rural
areas in a historic, lively form of theater.
Performances are Thursday through Saturday at
8pm, a Saturday matinee at 2pm, and Sunday at
6pm, and tickets are $8 to $20 at
liveatthecell.com (776-9412).
Modern urbanity
Paris’ Latin Quarter circa 1830 had
everything a contemporary urbanite could
possibly dream of—polygamist writers,
philosophers and musicians fraternizing over
cheap wine, cigars and heavy drama in adorably
cramped, drafty inner-city flats, all within steps
of the city’s hippest cafes and street vendors.
Snapshots of Parisian city life in Giacomo
Puccini’s La Bohème, which has become one of
the most staged operas since its debut
performance in 1896, illustrate that little has
changed in nearly two centuries of bohemian
hedonism.
That being the case, present-day
theatergoers enjoy an incredible theatrical
advancement that their counterparts living
before the technology of projection did not:
supertitles. Viewers are no longer compelled to
follow a multi-act tragedy sung entirely in Italian.
Nowadays, they’re immediately drawn into the
musical masterpieces of vintage epochs when
they see, simultaneously with the first foreign
word belted out in all its operatic glory, the
English translation on an inconspicuous screen
above the stage. No language barrier remains
between would-be opera lovers and Opera
Southwest’s revival of this traditional staging of
a classic tale of love and loss à la vie bohème,
conducted by Anthony Barrese and played by a
revamped cast of vocal powerhouses. It hits the
Albuquerque Journal Theatre stage at the
National Hispanic Cultural Center (1701 Fourth
Street SW) on Sunday, March 22, and runs
through Sunday, March 29. Sunday curtains are
at 2pm, and 7:30pm on Wednesday and Friday.
Tickets are $12 to $82 at
nationalhispaniccenter.org (724-4771) and
operasouthwest.org. a

This Map Just Keeps Getting Bigger
Citywide exhibition shows no signs of slowing down
Points of interest: From left, work by Kristin Diener, Ed Fitzgerald and Mark Horst
BY ELAINE RITCHEL
On the Map: Unfolding Albuquerque Art +
Design, a massive celebration of our local art
scene, continues. While several exhibitions
have already set the stage by tackling major
themes surrounding the history and trajectory
of regional artistic practice, a second wave of
events opening now through April is a little
lighter in tone. The participating artists clearly
aren’t afraid to have fun—and hopefully you
aren’t either, as each of these events invites
participation, whether through direct
interaction or personal reflection.
Put a bird in it
With NEST, Richard Levy Gallery (514
Central SW) challenged award-winning
architects to design birdhouses. Though
whimsical, NEST is also a fascinating study in
style and approach, requiring architects to
translate their design values into avian-sized
structures. “Domus,” for instance, by
Albuquerque architect Ed Fitzgerald, uses
sleek, natural materials to create an airy
sanctuary that blurs the line between interior
and exterior space. Clever and attractive,
these homes aren’t just for the birds. If you
spot one that would look fabulous in your yard,
place a bid at the corresponding auction to
benefit the National Audubon Society. NEST
opens March 20 and concludes with a finale
reception from 6 to 8pm on April 3. The
online auction runs March 27 to April 5 on
Bidsquare (bit.ly/levybidsquare).
Duke City montage
According to Dada and Surrealist artist Max
Ernst, “Collage is the noble conquest of the
irrational, the coupling of two realities,
irreconcilable in appearance, upon a plane
which apparently does not suit them.” It’s a
fitting way to portray Albuquerque’s
disparities. Bits & Pieces, organized by 516
ARTS and Westbund West, features collages
that investigate our city’s eclectic identity
according to local artists. Blink and you’ll miss
it—this pop-up exhibition runs just three days,
from March 27 to 29, at Westbund West (217
Kinley NW). Get inspired, and then cut up
some stuff and create a collage of your own.
On the Map: Unfolding
Albuquerque Art + Design
Runs through June 30; individual exhibits have their
own run dates
Various locations
ABQonthemap.com
Making fun of media
From April 3 to 25, Sumner & Dene Gallery
(517 Central NW) presents Dan Garrett Metal
Assemblages, Mark Horst Figures, and Rik
Burkard Ceramics. These three artists
experiment with form through various media:
Garrett applies paint and patina to threedimensional steel assemblages, Horst’s
expressive brushwork suggests disintegration or
mirage, and ceramicist Burkard creates
imaginative containers, oceanic creatures and
space-age sculptures. This eclectic group
exhibition offers an opportunity to draw
comparisons, make connections and consider
how artists approach style, subject and media.
The exhibition opens with a reception on
April 3 from 5 to 8pm.
A walk on the acoustic side
Visible Sound, at Central Features (109 Fifth
Street SW) from April 24 to June 6, brings
together three artists who explore sounds
specific to a particular place or situation.
Andrea Polli works with atmospheric scientists
to develop systems that reveal climate patterns
through sound, Alyce Santoro illustrates the
effects of sonic vibrations on matter by playing
a flute over a Rubens’ tube, and Sasha vom
Dorp’s photographs render sound interacting
with light through water. The exhibition also
includes sound recordings by Polli’s UNM
students. Catch demonstrations by Santoro
and vom Dorp at the opening reception from 6
to 8pm on April 24, and tune in to your own
sonic surroundings by joining Polli on an
urban sound walk (reservations required at
centralfeatures.com) from 11am to 1pm on
April 25.
The people speak
Meet local artists where the magic happens.
For Public Selects: A Celebration of Albuquerque
Artists, participating creators bare all by
opening up their studios. After you visit, vote
for your favorite artists to be included in an
exhibition at the Albuquerque Museum (2000
Mountain NW) this summer. Although two
open studio dates have already passed, you can
catch the final event on March 21 from 10am
to 4pm. On the roster are Thomas Christopher
Haag, whose layered murals and paintings refer
to ancient traditions and the spiritual world
with, as he puts it, “just a hint of smart-ass,”
and Kristin Diener, a metalsmith whose
intricate assemblages fall somewhere between
jewelry and sculpture. Find a complete list of
participating artists on the museum website,
albuquerquemuseum.org.
Get your Foodie fix
Back in January, we introduced Foodie: On
Eats, Eating, and Eateries in Albuquerque, an
exhibition of culinary culture put on by the
Tamarind Institute (2500 Central SE). If you
haven’t yet seen it, the mid-exhibition
reception on April 17, from 5 to 7pm, would
be a great time to do so. Watch Tamarind
students in action during a public printmaking
workshop, and take home a print of your own.

How to Pick Up Chicks
With the unpleasant realities of the poultry
industry becoming increasingly well-known, it’s
no surprise that more urbanites are choosing to
ditch the factory farm system and invest in their
own backyard flock of chickens. Chickens are a
straightforward, relatively inexpensive way to
become more self-sufficient and ensure that, at
the very least, the eggs you use in your
omelettes come from poultry that’s had as close
to an ideal life as you can give them.
Early spring, after the danger of cold snaps is
past, is the perfect time to take that allimportant first step toward homegrown eggs:
picking out some chickens. Some people choose
to start their flock out with full-grown egg
layers, but to my mind that approach offers too
many disadvantages. It’s more expensive from
the get-go, with layers in their prime typically
costing about $25 or so; the hens you choose
may not get along very well, leading to unhappy,
bloody-headed chickens; and you’ll need to have
your full coop up and running as soon as your
new pals arrive. Getting a batch of baby chicks at
$3 apiece, on the other hand, is cheaper and
allows you to ease into your operation with little
more than a cardboard box and $30 worth of
supplies. Your chicks will also get a chance to
bond with each other and you. The only
downside to starting them young is that you will
have to wait about six months before the girls
reach laying age.
Unless you’re looking for more than 15
chickens (which might run you “afowl” of the law,
depending on where you live), you’ll probably
need to source your chicks locally rather than
ordering direct from a hatchery. Unfortunately,
that means you’ll be limited to whatever breeds
the feed stores stock, so don’t get your heart set
on a Belgian bearded bantam or anything.
Unless you’re a real connoisseur, though, you
should be able to find enough breed variety in
town to make you happy.
Chances are, whatever’s in stock will be good
egg layers, but just in case, here are my
recommendations: Rhode Island Reds are the
classic fluffy red hens, and they’re perfectly
suited for the Rio Grande Valley’s climate
swings. They stand up to freezing temperatures
and summer swelters with the same easygoing,
good-natured pluck. They lay big, brown eggs
like crazy too. Barred Plymouth Rocks are
similar but bear a black and white striped
pattern. Orpingtons tend to be happy around
people and also good layers, even in the winter
months when other breeds stop laying
altogether. And Ameraucanas, though more
delicate than the aforementioned breeds, are
still relatively hardy and offer an interesting
splash of color in your fridge; their eggs are
often blue or green. Leghorns and Wyandottes
are also safe choices.
You may run across other breeds, but make
sure you do your research before picking them up.
Polish hens, for instance, are becoming more
popular due to the striking tufts on their heads
that look like fright wigs. However, they’re poorly
suited for the cold snaps our area is prone to and
are inconsistent layers. They also tend to get
picked on by other chickens. Just make sure you
know what you’re getting into, and don’t be
afraid to ask questions.
As I said above, once you’ve got the chicks,
all you really need is a cardboard box, a
reflective clamping lamp to warm the chicks, a
feeder and a waterer, and you’re all set. Keep the
chicks happy and fed. Take them out and handle
them every chance you get, and start working on
your hen-house and coop setup. After six weeks
of baby chick time, you’ll be ready to get the girls
out into their own place. And within six months,
they’ll reward your effort with the best eggs
you’ve ever eaten. a

Arepa del Perro
Ajiaco
Short and Sweet
Quality over quantity defines the menu at Guava Tree Café
BY ARI LEVAUX
Guava Tree Café
he Guava Tree Café reminds me of the
proverbial man of few words who, when he
does speak, makes them count. The short
menu is composed almost entirely of carefully
crafted winners and leaves you wanting more.
After a few moments inside, this quiet
sounding metaphor starts to fade, washed away
by unrelenting waves of salsa music and the
occasional reggae tune. The café’s slogan
promises “Cuban Sandwiches and our Latin
Thing.” The owners are from Colombia and
Puerto Rico, and they met in Costa Rica. So
they certainly have the credentials to promise
their “Latin Thing,” and they deliver. The staff
is lively, as if they’ve been drinking bowls of
sweetened coffee. And they probably have
been; the signature café con leche can be
sipped from a cup or a bowl, depending on
your thirst level, and contains both sweetened
condensed and steamed milk. One such bowl
left me buzzing for hours thanks to the
combination of caffeine and azucar!
Under the rubric of “Our Latin Thing,”
the offerings include Venezuelan arepa
sandwiches and a Colombian-style chicken
chowder called ajiaco, as well as a lineup of
Cuban sandwiches.
Even to someone like me, who is
generally meh on sandwiches, the Cubano
served at Guava Tree was a hit. The heated,
pressed sandwich contained ham and roast
pork with dill pickles, mustard and a doublehelping of wow. It was the first Cubano I’d
eaten that made me understand why this
sandwich has such a cult following, and I’d eat
another in a heartbeat.
A variation of the Cubano is the
medianoche, which means midnight. Made with
challah-like sweet egg bread, the medianoche
has similar innards to the Cubano, and has
made it back to parts of Cuba, where it served
as a late night snack in some Havana
nightclubs. Another tasty member of the café’s
sandwich family is the pollito sandwich, in
which shredded chicken fills the space
between two slices of brown bread with oats
baked into the crust. What takes the pollito to

Vibe: Upbeat and friendly
The Alibi recommends: Cubano sandwich, ajiaco,
maracuyá shake, arepa del perro
another level is a creamy garlic sauce that
drenches the contents.
The arepas, which are like thick
Venezuelan tortillas, are small but filling. At
once crispy, soft and chewy, the arepas form
twin borders around the ingredients, my
favorite of which, the del perro, contains
shredded beef, chunks of avocado and
plantain, and crumbs of queso fresco. It’s
served with a cute, little deep-fried plantain
cup that’s stuffed with marinara-like sauce.
The ajiaco soup is fascinating and
delicious. The bowl of chicken and potato
chowder is spiced with black pepper and
contains a slice of corn on the cob, along with
several pieces of avocado, and it comes flanked
with little bowls of cream and capers to be
added to the soup at the diner’s discretion.
Altogether, it’s a remarkable and unexpected
combination, a diverse bowl of Latin-style
comfort food.
Despite the quality of the dishes, I found
myself wondering if the low number of menu
options presented a liability. How many
sandwiches and bowls of the same awesome
soup would the dining public keep returning
for?
But perhaps my question is answered by
the fact that after a few years in its original,
somewhat dilapidated location on Yale, the
Guava Tree Café has now moved to a sweet
adobe on Richmond off Central, in the heart
of Snob Hill. Apparently, the business model
is working.
While the food deserves much of the
credit for this move on up, the atmosphere is
clearly a big factor in its success. Inside, you
feel like you’re in a well-worn establishment
with rich history. You rub shoulders with not
only people grabbing a quick lunch—indeed,
the food comes out nearly instantly—but also
those who look the part of poets and
intellectuals reading their books or scribbling
in their notebooks or having deep and
meaningful conversations. The staff addresses
you in Spanish, even if you look like the
whitest gringo in town, but they will happily
take your order in English. The walls are
plastered with vintage posters that advertise
salsa shows in New York. The friendly staff is
tolerant of camping at your table and makes
you feel like a welcome regular.
A chalkboard with specials on it adds
diversity to the menu, with items such as the
ropa vieja, which means “old clothes” in
Spanish. At Guava Tree the dish is built
around a hefty pile of shredded beef that’s
chewy yet chewable, and flanked by beans,
plantains, fried yucca, black beans and a fresh
little salad of colorful spring mix. It comes
with a dish of that garlic dressing from the
chicken sandwich. Also on the chalkboard,
there’s a Guava Tree salad in which a bed of
greens are weighed down by a trio of roasted
red bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms and
pickled onions, and sprinkled with queso
fresco. The same combo, plus a piece or two of
plantain, fill the vegetarian arepa.
Sweetness awaits in the form of desserts,
tropical juices and smoothies. My favorite is
the maracuyá aka passion fruit, which offers a
bright, penetrating flavor that is positively
thrilling on a hot day. Another nice one is the
mango vanilla, which is fragrant and mildly
smooth, even creamy compared to the sharp
fireworks of the passion fruit.
The dessert list contains a dainty tres
leches cake in a foil cup and a flan that, alas,
wasn’t available when I visited. But I’ll be
back, and I will try the flan. After all, it’s
practically the only thing on the menu I
haven’t sampled. a

�’71
Northern Ireland: Come for the car bombings, stay for the ethno-nationalist conflict.
Fast-paced British thriller drops viewers into the middle of
the Northern Ireland conflict for some bruising action
T
o anyone who’s seen a war movie in the last
50 years, the opening sequence of ’71 will
feel very familiar: raw, young recruits being
put through their punishing paces by screaming
drill instructors. The recruits wallow in mud and
scramble over walls while being likened to
“maggots” or some other lowly creature. It is—as
both the military and popular culture have
taught us—how “men” are made. But there’s
something different going on here, just under the
surface. These young British soldiers are all
uniformly tightlipped. They take their
punishment with a numb resolve. The film’s
soundtrack throbs away. There isn’t so much a
sense of tension as a feeling of inescapability.
Something bad is going to happen. And soon. So
what’s got this particular group of soldiers so
petrified? Are they going off to fight some bloody
war halfway around the planet? Nope. They’re
getting on a boat and going to Ireland.
Known commonly as “The Troubles,” the
conflict in Northern Ireland between nationalist
Catholics and loyalist Protestants lasted from the
late ’60s all the way until the “Good Friday”
agreement of 1998 (which at least put a dent in
weekly bombings). Over the course of this
unofficial war, more than 3,500 people were
killed and an estimated 107,000 injured. Back in
1971 animosities were at their peak. In ’71 we
witness what’s going on in Ireland through the
eyes of Gary Hook (Jack O’Connell from “Skins”
and 300: Rise of an Empire in a tough, bare-bones
performance). Hook, a wet-behind-the-ears
soldier, is dropped off on the streets of Belfast
and thrust into a conflict as chaotic and deadly
as anything in Saving Private Ryan.
Citizens are being brutalized by police.
‘71
Directed by Yann Demange
Starring Jack O’Connell, Sam Reid, Sean Harris
Rated R
Opens Friday 3/20
Armed soldiers march block by block, rousting
troublemakers. Schoolchildren hurl bricks at
authorities. Teenage ruffians prowl the city
looking for blood to spill. Car husks burn on
street corners. This isn’t a war zone, mind you.
It’s a neighborhood. Hook’s squad is ordered to
leave helmets and riot shields at their base
camp—to present a less threatening presence to
the locals. But almost immediately after the
soldiers set foot on the sidewalks, a riot erupts.
As things spiral quickly out of control, Hook
and another soldier are accidentally left behind
by their squad leader who panics and bugs out.
Hook’s squadmate is immediately shot and killed
in a brutal ambush. Hook does the only thing he
can; he drops his gear and runs for it. This kicks
off the grim, cat-and-mouse chase that is the
bulk of ’71.
Eschewing much in the way of background
and political discourse, ’71 settles for breathless
thrills, as our largely taciturn hero stumbles from
one deadly encounter to the next. Bullets are
dodged, fences are hurdled, and suddenly that
harsh training sequence doesn’t look so out of
bounds. Trapped on the all-but-abandoned
streets of Belfast at night, Hook does everything
he can to survive and make his way back to the
army barracks in Protestant territory.
Hook’s biggest problem is he has no idea
whom to trust. There’s a gang of teenagers with
handguns who clearly want him dead for
witnessing the murder they just committed. And
there are a handful of IRA higher-ups who would
be quite happy if he just vanished. But there are
plenty other ordinary citizens for whom murder
(even in this emotionally unstable environment)
is repellent. Who can he turn to for help? This
question becomes even harder to puzzle out
when it becomes evident that not even the
loyalties of the British soldiers are clear.
Surrounded by murderous thugs, bloodthirsty
enemies and turncoat soldiers, poor Hook is on
his own.
Beaten, bloody and exhausted, he collapses
on the doorstep of a former Irish soldier (Richard
Dormer, Mrs. Henderson Presents) and his
teenage daughter (Charlie Murphy, Philomena),
who take pity on the lad and nurse him back
from the brink of death. But it’s only a temporary
respite. Hook’s rescuers are too scared to turn
him over to the British army for fear their
neighbors will retaliate against them. Trapped in
a tiny apartment and half dead, Hook waits for
the various forces searching for him to close in
for a High Noon-style showdown.
Again, ’71 isn’t terribly interested in talking
politics. It doesn’t have the time to sit around
and discuss things politely. Everybody here is too
busy bleeding and running. If you want to know
the history of why neighbors spent 30-odd years
killing neighbors in Northern Ireland, you’ll
have to read a book. Admittedly, this causes the
film’s villainy to come off as rather one-note, and
it’s sometimes hard to tell the players without a
scorecard. But that doesn’t put a dent in the
entertainment value. Directed and written with
considerable verve by British TV vets Yann
Demange and Gregory Burke, ’71 just wants to
offer a visceral look at what life (and death) was
like on those bombed-out, brickbat-strewn
streets of Belfast a mere generation or two ago. a

TELEVISION | IDIOT BOX
Game & Watch
“Powers” on PlayStation Network
I
t’s getting difficult to define what, exactly,
constitutes an “idiot box” these days. Once
upon a time, people watched network
television shows exclusively. That gave way to
cable TV and then pay-per-view. Now we get our
television shows on Netflix and Hulu and
Amazon Prime and a whole bunch of places that
aren’t even attached to televisions. Xbox has
even started producing movies and series to
supplement the system’s game library. Eager to
follow suit, Sony PlayStation premiered its first
TV series earlier this month, an adaptation of
Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon
Oeming’s comic book Powers. It seems the old
axiom “It’s the message, not the medium” is
finally coming true.
“Powers” is PlayStation Network’s first
scripted original series. Own a PlayStation and
subscribe to the PlayStation Plus service and you
can watch online streaming episodes. Or you can
check out the pilot right now on YouTube. Like
crack, your first taste is free.
“Powers” follows the story of Christian
Walker, a former superhero who lost his powers
and now works for a special LAPD unit designed
to deal with superhero-based crime. It’s
interesting, for a change, to view a world filled
with superpowers from the sidelines. The
concept also makes it a bit cheaper to produce,
since the people with the expensive, effectsfilled abilities only drop by occasionally.
So far the first season of “Powers” tracks
Walker’s attempts to hunt down the source of a
mysterious drug that took the life of an old
friend. In this world superheroes are the
celebrities. Naturally, they have groupies, a
gaggle of young, wannabe superheroes known as
“Powers Kids.” Walker and his sarcastic new
partner, Deena Pilgrim, trace the drug from a

wide-eyed young superhero groupie back to a
dangerous villain from Walker’s past.
Visually speaking, the show doesn’t have a
particularly strong style. It looks like normal old
LA with a few people wearing cheap spandex
costumes. Clearly, a restrictive budget is keeping
the show from adopting the noir-like dynamic of
FOX’ “Gotham” or the costume-heavy free-forall that is The CW’s comic book shows
(“Arrow,” “The Flash”). To be fair, even in
comic book form, “Powers” was a bit more
realistic than your average superhero series. This
at least translates in the show’s mood, which is
glum, cynical and filled with issues of loss and
regret.
The show’s dialogue is generally rough,
relying on cheap one-liners and too-blunt
metaphors. (One character actually explains the
obvious significance of naming a now-flightless
superhero “Walker.”) The drama works
occasionally, though, thanks to some savvy
casting. Sharlto Copley (District 9, The A-Team)
is our main character, and he plays Walker’s loss
of godlike powers with a mix of depression, anger
and fear. It’s also exciting to see British
comedian Eddie Izzard in an unhinged
performance as a maniacal, incarcerated
supervillain named Wolfe. Izzard doesn’t come
into the show full-force until later episodes, but
his terrifying villain (a guy so dangerous he has
to be lobotomized on a daily basis) leaves a
lasting impression.
Watching the potential-filled “Powers” pilot
may not be enough to get you to rush out and
buy a PlayStation. But it’s a convincing
argument that non-mainstream outlets are ready,
willing and able to give the creaky old television
networks a run for their entertainment dollar. a

Flying Star Cafe
What’s the favorite part of your business?
We started Flying Star so we would have a place to hang out,
drink endless coffee/tea, eat pastries, hatch new plans and look out the
window at our favorite view – Route 66 Central Ave. We still love
being part of peoples’ lives. Every table is its own universe, filled with
endless possibilities. Everyone is welcome in the Flying Star
community.
Why did you go into the restaurant business?
We get a kick out of offering the best of both worlds—crazy
indulgent versus sustainable, clean, healthy eating—whatever you’re in
the mood for or need at the moment.
What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened at
your restaurants?
We created the (dog) Petio in 1995 at our Juan Tabo café—we
were the first restaurant to defy the City animal ordinance. To
commemorate our Petio, we bought this really cool flying dog sculpture
which we mounted in the Petio. It was stolen one summer night.
Someone informed us that a technician who worked for one of our
service vendors had taken it as a birthday present for himself. Sure
enough, when the police went to his house, the flying dog was in his
living room. Our dog is now flying high up at our Corrales location.
What do you offer that the competition doesn’t?
Woman/man cannot live on beer alone, so we offer breakfast for
dinner, bottomless cups of coffee and tea, light bites like Italian
poppers and all-natural homemade chicken strips, unique desserts all
day at any price point. You can create your own experience at any hour
of the day.
Here’s what you don’t know about us.
Mark and Jean are urban explorers who have walked thousands of
miles looking for new experiences—especially in food. Just because
we’ve been around 28 years doesn’t mean we’ve finished learning or
yearning for what’s fresh. We are always hungry!

at Century 14 Downtown)
Do You Believe?
From the creators of God’s Not Dead comes some more
preaching to the choir. Like a Jesus-based version of
Crash, this film consists of a bunch of random, seemingly
unconnected characters (a pastor, a pregnant teenage
girl, a nurse, a paramedic, an ex-soldier, a homeless
mother, a suicidal young man, a lawyer), all of whose lives
are “interconnected by the hand of God.” Ted McGinley
(“Married with Children”), Sean Astin (The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), Mira Sorvino (Mighty
Aphrodite), Delroy Lindo (Get Shorty), Lee Majors (“The
Six Million Dollar Man”), Brian Bosworth (former NFL
linebacker and star of Stone Cold) and Cybill Shepherd
(The Last Picture Show) are among the odd cast. 115
minutes. PG-13. (Opens Thursday 3/19 at Century Rio,
Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema)
Dominic Angerame Presents “City
Symphony Series”
Since the 1960s experimental filmmaker, theorist and
“avant-garde activist” Dominic Angerame has
concentrated much of his artistic gaze on American
cityscapes. Shot between 1987 and 2013, Angerame’s
“City Symphony Series” consists of five black-and-white
shorts that explore modern society in all its
“monumentality.” Angerame will be at the theater in
person to introduce the films and discuss his work. A
Basement Films co-presentation. 120 minutes. Unrated.
(Opens Sunday 3/22 at Guild Cinema)
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem
In Israel, where there is no such thing as civil marriage or
civil divorce, only rabbis can legitimate or dissolve a
marriage—and only at the request of a husband. This
patriarchal loophole is explored by brother and sister codirectors Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz. Set entirely in the
courtroom and waiting rooms of a rabbinical court, the
story concerns Viviane Amsalem (Ronit), who spends five
years trying to get divorced from a stubborn man who
refuses to let her go. It’s claustrophobic and talky and
hardly anything happens (mirroring the slow march of
justice), but the direction is surprisingly cinematic, and
the actors are simply mesmerizing. 115 minutes.
Unrated. (Opens Friday 3/20 at High Ridge)
Girlhood
Fed up with her abusive family situation and lack of
school prospects, teenage Marieme (Karidja Touré) starts
a new life with a female gang in suburban Paris. In her
third coming-of-age film (after Water Lillies and Tomboy),
writer-director Céline Sciamma continues to explore race,
gender and class struggles with sensitivity. In French with
English subtitles. 113 minutes. Unrated. (Opens Friday
3/20 at Guild Cinema)
The Gunman
Sean Penn—hungry for some of that sweet, Liam Neesonstyle, old-man-running-around-and-kicking-ass
money—hires the director of Taken to give him a career
boost. Penn stars in this humorless thriller as a mercenary
sniper who assassinates a political bigwig in the Congo.
Years later, he’s a reformed good guy, who suddenly finds
himself the target of an international hit squad. Like a
wrinkled Jason Bourne, he hops around the globe trying to
figure out who’s behind it all. 115 minutes. R. (Opens
Thursday 3/19 at Century 14 Downtown, Century Rio, Rio
Rancho Premiere Cinema)
Insurgent
The popular young adult book series about a dystopian
future in which mean old adults won’t let rebellious teens
grow up to be whatever they want returns with the second
outing in the trilogy (which will, inevitably, turn into four
films). Shailene Woodley is back as troublemaking
“divergent” Tris, who’s obliged to run and fight and take a
bunch of tests (no, really) in this predictably rote sequel.
119 minutes. PG-13. (Opens Thursday 3/19 at Century
14 Downtown, Century Rio, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema)
Out of Print
In the age of digital everything, is there a place for left
[22]
film? This movie-loving documentary takes a look at the
importance of revival cinema and 35mm exhibition. By
concentrating on the legendary New Beverly Cinema in
LA, the film makes a case for film—actual physical 35mm
film—as a medium unto itself. Featured interviews include
Kevin Smith, Edgar Wright, John Landis, Stuart Gordon,
Joe Dante, Rian Johnson, Lloyd Kaufman, Patton Oswalt,
Seth Green, Fred Dekker, C. Courtney Joyner and
countless others. Appropriately enough, it’s being
screened at Guild Cinema—in 35mm! 86 minutes.
Unrated. (Opens Friday 3/20 at Guild Cinema)
Rear Window
Alfred Hitchcock’s deliciously voyeuristic crime thriller
from 1954 heads back to the big screen, courtesy of
TCM. James Stewart is the wheelchair-bound
photographer who takes up spying on his (possibly
murderous) New York neighbor. Grace Kelly is the worried
wife. 112 minutes. Unrated. (Opens Sunday 2/2 at
Century 14 Downtown, Century Rio)
Swinging in the Shadows
Director Mary Kerr will be on hand to host this special
screening of her two-part documentary (“Venice West and
the LA Scene” and “San Francisco’s Wild History Groove”)
concerning the untold story of the California Beat era.
Starting in the 1950s, a new wave of free-spirited
creativity emerged in California. Kerr’s film gets up close
and personal with the idealistic poets and writers—
ultimately branded “Beats”—who moved from the
bohemian underground to the ’50s mainstream. 120
minutes. Unrated. (Opens Thursday 3/26 at Guild
Cinema)
Ways to Live Forever
In this somewhat sugar-coated family drama, an
inquisitive 12-year-old (Robbie Kay) wants to know all
there is about UFOs and horror movies and ghosts and
airships. But most of all he wants to know about the
leukemia that will one day claim his life. With the help his
best friend, he embarks on a “scientific investigation” of
all the things he wants to do someday—like break a world
record, fly in a blimp and kiss a girl. Ben Chaplin and
Phyllida Law are among the adult members of the cast.
90 minutes. PG-13. (Opens Thursday 3/19 at SUB
Theater)
STILL PLAYING
American Sniper
Reliable but rarely more than workmanlike director Clint
Eastwood helms this biopic based on the biography of
Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle. Bradley Cooper is excellent,
running through all the emotions of our main character as
he goes from front-line shellshocked to home-front
rehabilitated. But Eastwood waffles too much between
gung-ho patriotism and a more reasoned examination of
the horrors our modern military men and women are
asked to endure. It wants to tackle some big moral
issues, but unlike Eastwood’s Unforgiven, it can’t break
the Hollywood formula long enough to find the
metaphorical weight behind the story. 132 minutes. R.
(Century Rio)
Chappie
From the writer-director of District 9 and Elysium comes
another South Africa-based sci-fi drama. In the near
future, Hugh Jackman has built an army of oppressive
robot cops to patrol the streets. But a rebellious scientist
(Dev Patel) and a couple of street thugs (Ninja and YoLandi from Die Antwoord) kidnap one of the robots and
reprogram it, teaching it the value of human life. The
effects are amazing, but the story is sorely lacking in the
sypathetic character department. 120 minutes. R.
(Century Rio, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century 14
Downtown)
Cinderella
Kenneth Branagh (Henry V, Thor) directs this straightfaced, unironic live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1950
animated gem. It looks gorgeous from top to bottom, and
Lily James (from “Downton Abbey”) seems perfectly
appropriate as the ball-going protagonist. But this version
adds nothing whatsoever new to the old story. For Disney
princess completists only. Reviewed in v24 i11. 113
minutes. PG. (Century 14 Downtown, Century Rio, Rio
Rancho Premiere Cinema)
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem
The DUFF
A young woman (Mae Whitman, “Arrested Development”)
shakes up the social order of high school after
discovering she’s been labeled a “DUFF” (Designated
Ugly Fat Friend) by her more popular pals. Naturally, this
is accomplished though the time-honored magic of the
cinematic makeover. As in all Pygmalion-inspired
romcoms, this is easily accomplished, since our “fat” and
“ugly” heroine is clearly neither. Think John Hughes with
hashtags ... and you’re trying a lot harder than this
formulaic tween comedy is. 101 minutes. PG-13. (Rio
Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century Rio)
Fifty Shades of Grey
Every couple of years, the publishing industry spits out an
erotic novel to remind housewives that naughty sex is a
good thing. From Fanny Hill to Story of O to Fear of Flying
to Exit to Eden, these books have been snapped up and
hidden in bedside tables for decades. Today, we’ve got
E.L. James’ smash hit novel Fifty Shades of Grey. This ripe
bit of “mommy porn” started out life as a piece of Twilight
fan fic written under the pen name “Snowqueen’s
Icedragon.” The author changed the character names, got
a better nom de plume, and the rest is history. The movie
may be slightly more literate, but it’s sadistically boring.
Nothing happens. At some point nothing stops happening
and the credits roll. 125 minutes. R. (Century Rio)
Focus
Will Smith is a big-money con man who hires a new
“intern” in the form of sexy but naive Margot Robbie (The
Wolf of Wall Street). Years later she returns as an
accomplished femme fatale to throw a monkey wrench
into his best-laid plans. The actors are having fun, but the
script gets needlessly bogged down in “clever” twists. 104
minutes. R. (Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century 14
Downtown, Century Rio)
Kingsman: The Secret Service
Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men: First Class) directs
this fast, funny, impossibly kinetic action flick based on
the comic book by Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Wanted).
Newcomer Taron Egerton stars as a trendy British street
kid who gets recruited to a top-secret spy agency that’s,
like, James Bond cranked up to 11. Colin Firth is the
young spy’s perfectly aloof bad-ass of a trainer. Samuel L.
Jackson is the high-tech baddie. 129 minutes. R.
(Century 14 Downtown, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema,
Century Rio)
The Lazarus Effect
From the director of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (really?) comes
this inexpensive, Insidious/Sinister-esque horror flick
about a bunch of med students who discover a way to
bring the dead back to life—with predictably ghostly
repercussions. The atypical cast includes “The O.C.” babe
Olivia Wilde, mumblecore director/actor Mark Duplass
and Evan Peters (from “American Horror Story”). 83
minutes. PG-13. (Century 14 Downtown, Century Rio)
McFarland, USA
This Disney-produced “based on the inspirational true
story” sports flick is pure formula. But it’s a formula that
works. Kevin Costner is a high school coach exiled to a
dirtwater farming community in California. There, he
creates a winning cross country running team with some
of the ragtag local migrant worker kids. It’s all very
familiar, but director Niki Caro (Whale Rider) shows
considerable sympathy to the impoverished farm workers
depicted here. Reviewed in v24 i8. 129 minutes. PG. (Rio
Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century Rio, Century 14
Downtown)
Run All Night
Terrorists, criminal kingpins and bad guys in general:
When are you going to stop threatening members of Liam
Neeson’s family? It never ends well for you. Neeson—still
in full-on, ass-kicking, old-man mode—stars as a mob
hitman who accidentally (sorta) shoots his boss’ son. As
expected, the boss man (Ed Harris) doesn’t take to kindly
to the action and pledges to execute our protagonist’s
offspring (Joel Kinnaman from “The Killing”). Our hitman
antihero has just one night to figure out where his
loyalties lie and how many people have to die before
dawn. Spaniard Jaume Collett-Serra (Orphan, Unknown,
Non-Stop) directs this violent action thriller. 114 minutes.
R. (Century 14 Downtown, Century Rio, Rio Rancho
Premiere Cinema)
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel gave audiences the exact
dose of twee elderly romance, exotic locals and faintly
inuendo-filled comedy they were looking for. So
everybody from director (Shakespeare in Love’s John
Madden) to cast (Dev Patel, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench,
Bill Nighy) have returned for more of the same. Seems
the now successful retirement hotel in Jaipur, India, has
only one vacancy left, prompting newcomers (including
Richard Gere) to fight for space. 122 minutes. PG. (Rio
Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century 14 Downtown, Century
Rio)
Selma
This serious, dutiful biopic chronicles Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.’s campaign to secure equal voting rights via a
groundbreaking march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala.,
in 1965. David Oyelowo (Lee Daniels’ The Butler) is
perfect as King. Cuba Gooding Jr., Tim Roth, Giovanni
Ribisi, Carmen Ejogo, Alessandro Nivola, Martin Sheen,
Tom Wilkinson and Oprah Winfrey round out the important
cast. 128 minutes. PG-13. (Century 14 Downtown)
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of
Water
When the secret formula for Krabby Patties goes missing,
SpongeBob and his pals (Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr.
Krabs) venture into the real world (featuring a mix of liveaction and 3D animation) to recover it from a dastardly
pirate (Antonio Banderas ... no, really). Also, they become
superheroes. Yeah, SpongeBob doesn’t make a lot of
sense. But it’s awesome. 93 minutes. PG. (Century 14
Downtown, Rio Rancho Premiere Cinema, Century Rio)
Unfinished Business
Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson and the increasingly reliable
Dave Franco star in this raunchy comedy about a
hardworking small business owner and his two associates
who travel to Europe to close an important business deal.
Just to make things entertaining, everything that could go
wrong does—from an unplanned stop at a massive sex
fetish event to a riot at a global economic summit. 91
minutes. R. (Century Rio) a

Meeting of the Minds
No Simple Highway
explores Dead mythology
Back in the early ’80s and thanks to hippie
friends, I took a detour from my punk proclivities
and indulged in the Grateful Dead. It was an
awesome detour. I traveled up to Santa Fe several
times to experience The Dead firsthand. Living on
canned beans, kind veggie burritos, vitamin C and
other unmentionable substances, I totally dug The
Dead’s world. Kids in tie-dyed clothes whooshed
past my outpost near the soundboard; they
gleefully gamboled in the grass at The Downs at
Santa Fe. The music was pretty awesome too.
With a rhythm section to die for, dedicated
keyboard antics and two guitarists who
absolutely commanded the stage, I got hooked on
both the scene and the music.
If you missed the fanfare and frolicking, Peter
Richardson’s new history of The Dead, No Simple
Highway is a terrific place to begin your friendship
with the dancing bears. Even if you were there,
this biography amply fills in details you might have
missed due to a combination of wanderlust,
requisite/heroic drug use and blissfully
anonymous, starry-eyed hookups.
Richardson’s tome is necessarily completist,
and it follows the evolution of the band from its
beginnings in San Francisco through the glorious
’70s, past the tragedies of Ron “Pigpen”
McKernan and the Godchaux duo (Keith and
Donna Jean) and ultimately the untimely death of
Jerry Garcia himself. The author paints a vivid
picture, starting with Garcia’s introduction to
psychedelic drugs in 1965. Before discussing the
impact these trips had on Garcia’s musical hopes
and dreams, the author spends a few pages
discussing the cultural precedent for such
experimentation, invoking the likes of Aldous
Huxley and notable San Francisco poets
prominent in the years before The Dead came of
age.
After mentioning Robert Duncan, Michael
McClure and William Everson, Richardson lays out
the importance of novelist Ken Kesey before
trucking on to the cultural consequences these
writers had on the developing talents of “head
bear” Jerry and Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. It’s
familiar territory, but the author imbues his
narrative with a sense of wonder and awe for the
world that set Garcia, Hunter and their peers on a
course of rocanrol greatness and excess.
The first portion of the book concerns itself
with northern Califas in the ’60s: Hunter
Thompson’s involvement with Hell’s Angels, the
Merry Pranksters’ partytime reality, Kesey’s acid
tests and the formation of the first incarnation of
the Grateful Dead, a band called the Warlocks.
Archived interviews with Garcia and company
bring this history to life, allowing readers insight
into the cultural forces that shaped America’s
most fearsome yet forever flowery outfit.
Midway through the text, the reader gains a
palpable sense of the entropy present after the
debacle at Altamont, the Manson murders and the
trip the band took as they ventured, sometimes
cynically, into the ’70s and beyond. As that
tumultuous decade segued into the ’80s, The
Dead—aware of their fading hippie identity—
switched gears, glomming onto a simplified
country aesthetic and sound; meanwhile, the band
embraced a level of political awareness that led
even pensive bassist Phil Lesh to publicly
comment on the course of empire America was
taking.
Although personal tragedy, drug addiction and
a rapidly changing American music culture fill the
final chapters with awe and despair, Richardson’s
narrative proves that The Dead truly reflected the
times in which they were embedded. Jerry’s death
put the kibosh on the business end of the Grateful
Dead venture, quelling the constant touring that
made the band a mainstay throughout their
storied career; but, to quote a Bob Weir song that
broadly paints the influence of the band on
America’s youth and culture, “The music never
stopped.” a

Four perspective-changing concerts
BY AUGUST MARCH
sleep in late/ Another day/ Oh what a
wonder/ Oh what a waste./ It’s a
Monday/ It’s so mundane/ What exciting
things/ Will happen today?/ The yard is full of
hard rubbish, it’s a mess and/ I guess the
neighbours must think we run a meth lab/ We
should amend that/ I pull the sheets back/ It’s
40 degrees/ And I feel like I’m dying/ Life’s
getting hard in here/ So I do some gardening/
Anything to take my mind away from where
it’s ’sposed to be.”—“Avant Gardener” by
Courtney Barnett from The Double EP: A Sea
of Split Peas
“I
Aussie singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett
struggles to find meaning in the mundane, but
we just don’t have that luxury here at Alibi
music central. With a heap of super concerts
on the horizon and materializing every damn
week of the year, there’s plenty of substance to
be gleaned from a committed involvement in
the local rocanrol scene. Life may be hard, but
the rock is harder; so tune in to significant
sounds while tuning out the cacophony of
everyday life—here, there and everywhere in
Burque.
Friday
On Friday, March 20, listeners can move
solidly past the mundane and embrace the
slinky-slow possibilities of shoegaze
sumptuousness at the REIGHNBEAU album
release party at Sister (407 Central NW).
Local electro mastermind Bryce Hample
dances past the sparse sonic scenery evoked in
earlier work with a sizzling stab at full-tilt
dream-time explorations of the genre’s
underlying darkness; Hample,
REIGHNBEAU’s prime mover, captivates
with moments of shiny wantonness on latest
venture Blood. Evocative, brilliantly
experimental and always in touch with his
slow-mo demons, Hample’s work has matured
tremendously over the past couple years.
Joining REIGHNBEAU onstage for this
celebration of the heat of rhythm, local
composer/guitarist Alexander J. Sugg performs
as Glowhouse, providing a vaguely glitchy and
always sublime interpretation of reality to the
evening’s theoretically endless reflection of
shinola-dappled Dr. Martens. BK Beats and
The 1960 Sci-Fi Era open. Expect full beards,
black eyeglasses and dynamic awesomeness.
Tickets are five bucks, and the doors open at
8pm for a timeless journey that begins at 9pm.
Saturday
If your mind is more in tune with traditional
interpretations of the rocanrol sound, take a
trip out to Madrid, N.M., and stop in on
Saturday, March 21, at The Mine Shaft
Tavern (2846 NM-14, Madrid) to witness The
Rudy Boy Experiment, which features
Albuquerque bluesman and 94 Rock regular
Rudy Jaramillo. The dude’s power trio,
comprised of Jaramillo on guitar, bassist Dave
Pankuch and percussionist Ricardo Sanchez,
has been zooming through their blues-
REIGHNBEAU
inflected repertoire of blisteringly evocative
tuneage since the early aughts.
Jaramillo learned his trade while on patrol
in Germany in the ’90s, and he now runs an
after-school music program at La Mesa
Elementary School. His work reflects a
tenderness and affection for what came before,
while nodding wakefully to the possibilities
inherent in the mastery of all things fretted
and amplified. Besides the former home of TJ
Trout, Jaramillo has gigged at the Whiskey a
Go Go and opened for acts like Buddy Guy
and Eric McFadden. Though it’s a 40-minute
drive to the middle of the mountains north
and east of here, it’s a journey well worth
undertaking for music lovers. Jaramillo and
company take the stage at 7pm, and admission
is free.
Monday
Exciting things will be happening on Monday,
March 23, at Duke City Sound Stage (2013
Ridgecrest SE) when the newish, all-ages
venue presents a concert featuring Canuck
post-punk math rockers Life In Vacuum. A
septet whose catalog includes intricate output
like “Passenger Mr. Funstash” and rollicking
rave-up “I Don’t Fit,” Life In Vacuum delves
into a spectral, time-shifting genre that is best
characterized by adjectives such as formidable
and intelligent.
Bandwidth No Name, an eclectic sevenpiece band from our neck of the woods, also
performs during Monday night’s mega-scene.
BNN includes emcee Nick Furious, producer
Epic Beats, vocalist Mary Stockton, drummer
Johnny Ruhulessin, bassist Sean Smock,
keyboardist Alex Wilson and guitarist Dave
Stewart. Their vibrant mix of funk, reggae and
hip-hop is notable for its tremulous attention
to beatific rhythm; plus they claim to be from
the planet Arrakis, which is a cool if
sandworm-infested origin story. On Your
Doorstep and Willo also bring the noise. It
will run you $10 to get in on this all-ages
COURTESY OF ARTIST
assemblage of ascendant, melodic aspiration.
The doors open at 6:30pm, and the sound
starts jumping at 7pm.
Tuesday
If, after all that, you still feel like you’re
dying—or are otherwise filled with the ennui
of life in a town that reminds you of the
goings-on in an RV-bound meth lab—check
out Launchpad (618 Central SW) on Tuesday,
March 24, for a totally rocked-out gig by
Weedeater, King Parrot, Hanta and legendary
locals Black Maria.
Sludgy, doom-obsessed stoner kings
Weedeater hail from the not-so-deep south of
North Carolina. The group purveys a dank
representation of the rock and roll animals
hidden inside nearly every head-banging
human on Earth. Vocalist and bassist Dave
“Dixie” Collins presides over the trio, which is
renowned for its destructive capabilities and
attention to core values like raging leads and
smash-mouthed vocals.
Aussie grindcore specialists King Parrot
join this doomed expedition to the gates of
Hell, while dreadlocked, local deconstruction
unit Hanta joins the metallic maelstrom. And
if you haven’t heard of Black Maria, you really
haven’t been reading or listening as closely as
you should, dear Alibi reader. If you need to
know, Black Maria rocks the hell out and stars
Gordy Andersen, Brian Banks, the Sells
brothers and vocalist/frontman Roman
Barham. All this plutonic madness can be
yours for a wildly affordable $10 ticket. As per
custom, the airlocks at Launchpad decompress
at 8pm, and this 21-plus show begins at 9pm.
If you wanna know about the exciting things
happening in our humble burg—if you really
wanna change your mental trajectory—then
escape from the mundanity of modern life with
a jaunt to one or more of these stellar shows. I
might just be there—trying to change my
mind—too. a

Max Out on Corners
Imagine the best of early ’80s post-punk

Corners. Mock the impossibly skinny jeans
worn by members of this Echo Park-based
foursome if you must; but do so silently so
you don’t miss any of their live show.
Corners bring their equally catchy and
punishing sound to Launchpad (618

2. Be as slippery as you can be while still maintaining
your integrity. 3. Don’t just question authority; be
thrilled about every chance you get to also question
habit, tradition, fashion, trendiness, apathy and dogma.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): By 1993 rock band Guns
N’ Roses had released five successful albums. But on
the way to record their next masterpiece, there were
numerous delays and diversions. Band members feuded.
Some were fired, and others departed. Eventually, only
one original member remained to bring the task to
conclusion with the help of new musicians. The sixth
album, Chinese Democracy, finally emerged in 2008. I’m
seeing a similarity between Guns N’ Roses’ process and
one of your ongoing projects, Taurus. The good news is
that I think most of the hassles and delays are behind
you, or will be if you act now. You’re primed to make a
big push toward the finish line.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The anonymous blogger
at neurolove.me gives advice on how to love a Gemini:
“Don’t get impatient with their distractibility. Always
make time for great conversation. Be understanding
when they’re moody. Help them move past their
insecurities, and tell them it’s not their job to please
everyone. Let them have space, but never let them be
lonely.” I endorse all that good counsel and add this:
“To love Geminis, listen to them attentively and with
expansive flexibility. Don’t try to force them to be
consistent; encourage them to experiment at uniting
their sometimes conflicting urges. As best as you can,
express appreciation not just for the parts of them that
are easy to love but also for the parts that are not yet
ripe or charming.” Now feel free, Gemini, to show this
horoscope to those whose affection you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have recently been to
the mountaintop, at least metaphorically. Right? You
wandered out to the high frontier and ruminated on
the state of your fate from the most expansive vista
you could find. Right? You have questioned the
limitations you had previously accepted, and you have
weaned yourself from at least one of your devitalizing
comforts, and you have explored certain possibilities
that had been taboo. Right? So what comes next?
Here’s what I suggest: Start building a new framework
or structure or system that will incorporate all that
you’ve learned during your break.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the international
code of food standards, there are 13 possible sizes for
an olive. They include large, extra large, jumbo, extra
jumbo, giant, colossal, super colossal, mammoth and
super mammoth. If I had my way, Leo, you would apply
this mindset to everything you do in the coming weeks.
It’s time for you to think very big. You will thrive as you
expand your mind, stretch your boundaries, increase
your territory, amplify your self-expression, magnify
your focus and broaden your innocence.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Half the troubles of this
life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not
saying no soon enough,” proclaimed humorist Josh
Billings. That’s an exaggeration made for comic effect,
of course. (And I think that some of life’s troubles also
come from saying no too much and not saying yes
enough.) But for you, Virgo, Billings’ advice will be
especially pertinent in the coming weeks. In fact, my
hypothesis is that you will be able to keep your
troubles to a minimum and boost your progress to a
maximum by being frugal with yes and ample with no.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your mind says, “I need
more room to move. I’ve got to feel free to
experiment.” Your heart says, “I think maybe I need
more commitment and certainty.” Your astrologer
suggests, “Be a bit more skeptical about the dream
lover who seems to be interfering with your efforts to
[30]
rob brezsny
bond with the Real Thing.” I’m not sure which of these
three sources you should heed, Libra. Do you think it
might somehow be possible to honor them all? I invite
you to try.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Without your wound
where would your power be?” asked writer Thornton
Wilder. “The very angels themselves cannot persuade
the wretched and blundering children on earth as can
one human being broken on the wheels of living.” Let’s
make that one of your ongoing meditations, Scorpio. I
think the coming weeks will be an excellent time to
come to a greater appreciation for your past losses.
What capacities has your suffering given birth to?
What failures have made you stronger? What crucial
lessons and unexpected benefits have emerged from
your sadness and madness?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Creating is not
magic but work,” says Kevin Ashton, author of the
book How to Fly a Horse: The Secret History of
Creation, Invention, and Discovery. In other words,
inspiration is a relatively small part of the creative
process. Over the long haul, the more important
factors are self-discipline, organized thinking, hard
work and attention to detail. And yet inspiration isn’t
irrelevant, either. Brainstorms and periodic leaps of
insight can be highly useful. That’s a good reminder as
you enter a phase when you’re likely to be more
imaginative and original than usual. I expect creative
excitement to be a regular visitor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional
detective Sherlock Holmes was a good Capricorn, born
Jan. 6, 1854. In the course of Arthur Conan Doyle’s 60
stories about his life, he revealed his exceptional talent
as an analytical thinker. His attention to detail was
essential to his success, and so was his expertise at
gathering information. He did have a problem with
addictive drugs, however. Morphine tempted him now
and then, and cocaine more often, usually when he
wasn’t feeling sufficiently challenged. Let this serve as
a gentle warning, Capricorn. In the coming weeks, seek
more relaxation and downtime than usual. Focus on
recharging your psychic batteries. But please be sure
that doesn’t cause you to get bored and then dabble
with self-sabotaging stimuli.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): English is my first
language. Years ago there was a time when I spoke a
lot of French with my Parisian girlfriend, but my skill
faded after we broke up. So I’m not bilingual in the
usual sense. But I do have some mastery in the
language of music, thanks to my career as a singersongwriter. Having raised a daughter, I also learned to
converse in the language of children. And I’ve
remembered and worked with my nightly dreams every
day for decades, so I speak the language of dreams.
What about you, Aquarius? In the coming weeks, I bet
you’ll be challenged to make more extensive use of
one of your second languages. It’s time to be
adaptable and resourceful in your approach to
communication.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you need a reason to
think sharper and work smarter and try harder? I’ll give
you four reasons. 1. Because you’re finally ready to get
healing for the inner saboteur who in the past has
undermined your confidence. 2. Because you’re finally
ready to see the objective truth about one of your selfdoubts, which is that it’s a delusion. 3. Because you’re
finally ready to stop blaming an adversary for a certain
obstacle you face, which means the obstacle will
become easier to overcome. 4. Because you’re finally
ready to understand that in order to nurture and hone
your ample creativity, you have to use it to improve
your life on a regular basis. a
