>>Readers, advertisers and friends of all sorts,As the stale breath of fall inundates the Ohio River Valley, the volume and scale of events this month will turn the thermostat in the opposite directi on. October, whose root oct harkens back to the Roman Calendar as it was the eighth month, is an exciti ng ti me in the tri-state area. Resident puck-heads rejoice as the Evansville Icemen kick-off their new season, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, resident fans of orchestral tunes nod with calculated claps in celebrati on of the new Evansville Philharmonic season. Some get their kicks from the bashing of hockey helmets and others the smashing of clash cymbals, some enjoy both. The incongruence of the two seasons paints a vivid portrait of how diverse the interests and people of our area are, but also brings us together in appreciati on of an unforeseen rush of energy. Of course, this month is always for the fright-freaks out there, and this October is no diff erent. It is complete with a guide for Halloween-oriented events (including those appropriate for the litt le ones), a break-down of the bluesy, spook-fest of a musical The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County and an in-depth look into the new Psycho theme of the Olde Courthouse Catacombs and House of Lecter. There is plenty to sate your appeti te for scares and your thirst for thrills.

As a welcome precursor to the darkness of Samhain (Gaelic Harvest Festi val that falls on Halloween), the Bob & Tom Comedy Tour rolls into town to illuminate faces with resplendent smiles boasti ng comedians such as Donnie Baker, Drew Hasti ngs and Tim Bedore. In this, the month of Nati onal Squirrel Awareness, music fans will fi nd there is a sweet feast of tunes. Don Williams and 1964…The Tribute at the Victory, Rascal Flatt s with the Band Perry at the Ford Center and Merle Haggard at the Centre. All of this and more, plus a surprise or two, wait for you inside this issue!

Hitchcock & Tunes on the Rocks



News4U (N4U): Congratulati ons. 25 years is a long ti me to be at any job, especially in this economy. Have you considered any other careers over the years?Maestro Savia (MS): There are other things I would probably enjoy doing, but I’m not qualifi ed to do them – like tennis. But aft er watching the US Open last night, I think that a career at this point is a litt le out of the questi on (laughs).

Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra 2013-2014 Season:

By Thomas Ellis

Maestro Alfred SaviaT

he 2013-2014 season promises to be one of the most exciti ng in the long, rich history of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra (EPO). Not only does it mark Maestro Savia’s Silver Anniversary as Music Director and Conductor, but the variety and scope

of the performance schedule is unparalleled. Highlights include Puccini’s Madame Butt erfl y, Cirque de la Symphonie and The Music of James Bond – all specially selected by Maestro Savia. The new season will also resurrect Gospel Night and welcome the triumphant return of opera to Evansville. In the midst of preparing for opening night, Maestro Savia kindly granted News4U an interview.

N4U: So, you’re stuck conducti ng one of the fi nest orchestras in America.MS: It’s what I love to do. They always say fi nd something you really love to do and get paid for it. That’s certainly been the case for me.

N4U: There’s been some mild controversy regarding the legiti macy of your Silver Anniversary.MS: A colleague pointed out that it’s not really my 25th anniversary – that I’m just beginning my 25th year. But, to me, I think it’s more appropriate to celebrate now than when I’ve concluded the season. We’re making a big deal out of it – capitalizing on it, really. Hopefully, I’ll make it through it since I have a three year contract starti ng this season (laughs).

N4U: On a slightly more professional note, do you recall the program that won you the positi on as Musical Director and Conductor?MS: Absolutely. My auditi on was in April of 1989, and the program consisted of Beethoven’s “Leonore Overture No. 3,” “Symphonic Metamorphosis” and Brahms’ “First Symphony.” By September, my family and I had moved here, and I was conducti ng opening night of the new EPO season.

N4U: So, obviously you had the conducti ng skills, but there’s a lot more that goes into the job.MS: Without a doubt – there’s the marketi ng and serving as the face of the orchestra. I mean, I won the job, but with the short-term contracts, I’m essenti ally being reconsidered every few years. If I don’t handle that end of things to the sati sfacti on of the executi ve committ ee and board of directors, then I won’t be renewed. But I feel like I must have done a good job here, because very few conducti ng tenures last this long.

Come help Maestro Savia celebrate his Silver Anniversary with the EPO all season long. Tickets are sti ll available. Call 812-425-5050 or visit the box offi ce at 401 S.E. Sixth St., Suite 105. The next program on the schedule is Puccini’s Madame Butt erfl y, November 23rd.

On June 1, 2013, Fett er Properti es Management Inc. implemented a smoke-free policy that will promote the health and safety of its residents. The smoke-free policy covers all of their rental units. Monte Fett er, President, of Fett er Properti es

Management, Inc. says the company chose to put the smoke-free policy into eff ect as a way to prevent second hand smoke exposure. “The health and well-being of our residents is our top priority. Smoke-free buildings are cleaner, healthier, safer and contribute to a bett er living environment,” he said. “We want our residents to enjoy their homes” Fett er Properti es Management manages homes and apartments in Vanderburgh County, Evansville and Newburgh for many investors. “Our owners like the smoke-free policy, because it protects their investment, lowers the cleaning costs and oft en lowers insurance premiums. It was a good business decision for us,” said Fett er. Fett er is joining a nati onwide trend of off ering smoke-free living. Property owners are starti ng to realize there are far too many risks associated with smoking in a multi -unit housing structure. Secondhand smoke can easily travel through shared air ducts or travel under doors, but possibly even more concerning is the increased fi re risk. According to the U.S. Fire Administrati on, smoking is the number one cause of fi re deaths in the United States. One in four people killed in fi res caused by smoking were not the smoker. Of the fatal victi ms, 34% were children of the smoker and 25% were neighbors or friends of the smokers. Smoking in the presence of a home oxygen tank can be especially dangerous.

Smokefree Communiti es and the Healthy Communiti es Partnership (HCP) Tobacco Free Initi ati ve encourage all multi -unit housing complexes to adopt smoke-free, air lease language as part of the Tobacco Free Living campaign. Tobacco Free Living is an initi ati ve to inform property management companies of the benefi ts of voluntarily making their properti es smoke-free. “We are excited to see Fett er Properti es take this positi ve step to improve the health of their residents,” said Martha Caine, Director of the Healthy Communiti es Partnership Tobacco Free Initi ati ve. Caine hopes the Fett er Properti es policy is the beginning of a trend in the Evansville area. “We expect to see more and more buildings go smoke-free as property managers become aware of the health and economic benefi ts of going smoke-free.” Caine shared that a number of resources are available for property managers at the Tobacco Free Living campaign website (www.smokefreecommuniti es.com), including lease language, ti melines for implementati on, compliance lett ers and policy reminders. Smokefree Communiti es is also currently compiling a list of smoke-free housing opti ons, to be included in this housing guide.

The Olde Courthouse Catacombs & The House of Lecter

Barely over a decade ago, the Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse inspired chills in the area when a very specific spot in the catacombs made members of the Indiana

Ghost Trackers’ Association’s compass spin like a top.

By Nick Durcholz

the Bates Motelpresent:

The spot at which the magneti c anomaly occurred (with no wires, electronic panels or metal in the vicinity) was excavated. About two feet down was unearthed an old, capped whiskey bott le containing newspaper

clippings dated February 27, 1927 reporti ng a brutal murder in South Bend, Ind., a March sky map and two photos, one of a man and another of a woman. A nefarious mystery indeed… This fi nd piqued my own interest because the items contained in the bott le found seemed to serve a specifi c purpose, and so I contacted a personal source of mine Lily Weams. I inquired if said contents and other circumstances of the discovery held any signifi cance. She concluded, with convicti on, that the depth of the bott le (in between 11-18 inches), its contents and the bott le itself are all indicati ve of a pagan ritual. She then asked me to fi nd out the phase of the moon on the exact date of the newspaper clippings. On February 27, 1927, the moon was in between its Last Quarter and New phases. It was waning. Weams added thwat within said ritual, if the moon is waning, the individual is meaning to transfer dark energy. She then speculated, again with convicti on, that the individual who buried the bott le (performed the ritual) may very well could have been the perpetrator of the murder. In other words, he or she may have performed this ritual to cleanse themselves spiritually of the act of murder. Undoubtedly creepy, but the theory soon galvanized itself with a layer of reality. I spoke to the Owner & Operator of the Olde Courthouse Catacombs/ House of Lecter, Phil Wolter who was present when the discovery was made; he said he had run into a member of the IGTA recently. The member informed him, aft er some small talk, that the man who had unearthed the old whiskey bott le from the catacomb’s fl oor had committ ed suicide. By excavati ng the bott le, he released the negati ve energy held within it.

So with this unsett ling theory in mind, on top of sighti ngs of appariti ons and other inexplicable happenings…What bett er place than this for (one of) the home(s) of this year’s new renditi on of the Olde Courthouse Catacombs/ House of Lecter: The Bates Motel. For its 34th producti on, the Olde Courthouse Catacombs and the House of Lecter will be cloaked in black, white and red to the tune of Hitchcock’s classic thriller Psycho. As far

as the quality of the producti on? Wolter’s experience speaks in screams, “As far as we know, I’ve been

in business designing haunted att racti ons longer than anybody in the country, other

than Disney.” “I know there’s been some haunted

house out there that may have been open longer that I have for 34 consecuti ve years, but as far as a single designer for every single show, that would be me probably,” said Wolter. The Bates Motel is a carefully tailored, suspenseful experience

using specifi c elements from the set of the movie, forced perspecti ve and

layering to really immerse patrons in the fi lm. The enti re producti on will be

in black and white and patrons will also encounter a ‘rainstorm’ very similar to the

one in the movie. “It will be our biggest, most ambiti ous

producti on we have ever put on. I’m not in the scare business. I’m in the entertainment business,” exclaims Wolter.With such a bold statement, is there a bett er way to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve than with a visit to the Olde Courthouse Catacombs and the House of Lecter? They have ‘rooms with showers’ and upon your arrival will ‘treat you like Mother would.’

D irector of Corporate Development for the Icemen, Brian Vaal said one of the changes that will be most noti ceable is the new voice of the Icemen, 96.9 radio personality Derick Benigni. “You’re going to have a great announcer in him,”

Vaal said. “He comes to us with a background already. He’s done a lot of local play-by-play broadcasti ng, and he was with us for two years in the All-American Hockey League days.” Benigni replaces Terry Ficorelli, who was with the IceMen for three years. Vaal said the organizati on was just looking for a new voice. “[Derick] is going to be less stats and more stories,” Vaal said. “He’s going to come up with the stuff fans want to hear and really try to talk about the relati onship side of the hockey business. “ IceMen Live, an in-person radio show that’s hosted at Backstage Bar & Grill and Beef O’ Brady’s in Newburgh, is being revamped. The popular show used to be hosted by Ficorelli at Show Me’s East. Other changes are in the works to engage fans more than previously, Vaal said. “We’re going to have more opportuniti es for fans to get on the ice and be part of the season.” Changes will include more in-game entertainment. Tic-Tac-Toe games, adult tricycle races, digital puck shuffl e and more Jumbotron acti viti es are just a part of the new acti viti es coming this season, he said. One change that may have shocked fans was the fi ring of former head coach, Rich Kromm, who recently accepted a job coaching the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL. The IceMen then hired Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operati ons Jeff Pyle, who comes to the organizati on with much experience. He played for 13 years professionally, three years in college and has coached for 17 years, as well as worked on the sales side of hockey.

With a new Evansville Icemen hockey season beginning Oct. 19 comes many changes on and off the ice.

A New Season & A New Era for the

Last year’s trying season, where the IceMen’s record was a dismal 25-40-7, will be a hard one to come back from, but returning players are determined, Pyle said. “We’re coming off of a bad year,” Pyle said. “Now it’s either put up or shut up. I think we alleviated some of the negati ve elements, and we have a good group that’s ready to go in the right directi on. Everyone is really hungry for success because of what they’ve been through.” “I want guys that are good people fi rst,” he said. “We know they’re talented, and the things they can do on the ice, but to me, they’re here for a reason. Whether they’re mentally soft or their work ethic isn’t good, my job is to teach them to be professional. Another goal is to move players up to higher opportuniti es,” he said. “I don’t want guys to sit here all year long,” Pyle said. “I want them to have the opportunity to play in the American Hockey League.” The team has nine games scheduled with their traditi onal rivals the Ft. Wayne Komets and10 slated with their growing rivals the Cincinnati Cyclones, but Pyle said rival games are played just like any other game. “Every night we have to try to perform at the highest level possible,” he said. “As long as we’re working hard and being prepared, we’re doing our best.” The IceMen start training camp for the 2013-14 regular season on October 4, then have a date with fellow North Division counterpart the Kalamazoo Wings on Opening Night, October 19 at the Ford Center. “I just want it to start. It’s been a long summer,” Pyle said. “I’m excited about the mentality and character we have. I just want to get started, and you can’t do that unti l you hit the ice.”

The Bob & Tom Show has been a morning staple for years, making the daily commute to work infinitely more bearable with a mix of irreverent skits, songs and on-air appearances by talented

comedians. The popularity of the radio broadcast prompted the hosts to literally take the show on the road in 2007 to further promote some of their favorite comics. Seven years and 300 dates later, the Bob & Tom Comedy Shows continue to get big laughs from coast to coast. This year’s line-up features veteran performers Drew Hastings, Donnie Baker and Tim Bedore. Hastings, the recently-elected mayor of Hillsboro, Ohio, spoke with News4U ahead of the show at the Victory Theatre on October 5th.

News4U (N4U): Apart from your involvement with the Bob & Tom Comedy Show, what have you been up to lately?Drew Hastings (DH): I just did a benefit show last weekend in Cincinnati for about 400 people, and the sound system failed. I had to literally yell for one hour, but I’m old school – the show must go on!

N4U: I recall from your 2008 Comedy Central showcase Irked and Miffed that you joked about employing a strategy of slow suicide through smoking. And yet, here you are five years later, still very much alive. What went wrong?DH: I managed to quit. I got in a fight with a guy half my age – a wiry construction worker in good shape. He took his shirt off and came at me, ready for business. I had a cigarette in my hand, and I flicked it away. I watched it float away in slow motion, and I said to myself ‘that was my last cigarette – I’m going to get my lung power back and kick this redneck’s butt!’

N4U: Since you last performed in Evansville, you’ve become the mayor of a small city in Ohio. What possessed you to get into politics?DH: Well, I was used to disappointing people on an individual basis, and I thought I’d try letting down a larger group for a change.

N4U: What is more difficult, making people laugh or presiding over a small city of disgruntled citizens?DH: Oh, presiding over a small city is much harder without question. But I’m just trying to do my part and get one little piece of America turned around. I think this country’s going to hell-in-a-hand-basket – actually, I don’t think we’d even make our own hand-basket anymore.

N4U: What’s your take on the likes of Anthony Weiner giving mayoral candidates a bad name?DH: Well, if you’re going to have a scandal, don’t let it be cheesy with cheap, predictable jokes.

N4U: You have built your career on dysfunction. What would happen if you ever got into a successful, normal relationship? Would your comedy career be over?DH: No, no, no. You just start exploring other areas of dysfunction – or the dysfunction that arises from being in a normal relationship (laughs).

N4U: In addition to being a comedian and a mayor, you’re also a farmer. How long can you maintain the delicate balance of three careers?DH: They all just crash into each other and somehow I just keep them all going. But comedy is my first love – I’ve been doing it for a lot of years, and I know how to deliver a successful show.—Thomas Ellis

The show starts at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. For more information, visit victorytheatre.com.


By Claire Edwards

News4U (N4U): The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County combines the work of author Stephen King and musician John Mellencamp. How do you think this contributes to the unique nature of the musical?Susan Booth (SB): It’s a total mash-up, and that’s what makes it wonderful. I think of it as a live radio, ghost story with music. And because the ghost story comes from a gothic master and the music comes from an American icon, it’s a prett y fantasti c mash-up.

N4U: What would you consider to be your greatest inspirati on as a director?SB: I like doing things I have no idea how to do. There’s that noti on that we only grow if we challenge ourselves to step fully outside our comfort zone on a frequent basis. So just like the mountaineer who looks for higher and harder peaks, I look for projects that will make enormous demands of my imaginati on andmy skills.

N4U: What has been the most interesting experience you have had while directing Ghost Brothers?SB: When we were auditi oning actors in New York, we’d sit in these ti ny rehearsal studios, and the actors would come in one at a ti me to sing and read for us. These are total pros that do hundreds of these auditi ons a year. But they would walk in – and see, sitti ng behind a table, Steve King, T-Bone Burnett , John Mellencamp – and oft en Meg Ryan as well – and they’d sort of stop in their tracks.

N4U: Which show, that you have been involved with in the past, was the most fun to direct?SB: This one has given me the opportunity to eat French fries with Steve King and hang out backstage at FarmAid with John Mellencamp. That’s prett y hard to beat.

N4U: What aspects of Ghost Brothers set it apart from other musicals?SB: The guys had no interest in writi ng an old school, traditi onal musical. They had a story they wanted to tell that was gothic and kind of cosmic – and John wrote these songs that deeply excavated these characters – and they threw it all in a pot. And it doesn’t look, sound or functi on like any other show I know. Which is what I like best about it; it’s so purely the fusion of these two guys.

S et in Mississippi in 1967, the show details what happens when two brothers, along with a young girl, die under mysterious circumstances. Combining elements of the supernatural, horror, family drama and musicals; Ghost Brothers will appeal to a wide audience due to the versati le themes covered in the performance. When asked about the style of music that will accompany King’s plot Mellencamp remarked, “It’s an American story about an American family. Some of the characters are 100 years old, some are 15. So that will give me the opportunity to write for

each character in a diff erent style. I ain’t writi ng a bunch of rock songs.” This statement accurately portrays the goals King and Mellencamp had when creati ng this musical, which was to create a unique piece where the music fi t each individual character. News4U got the opportunity to interview Susan Booth, the show’s director.

His credenti als include 40 number one hits as well as the development of the “Bakersfi eld Sound” with Buck Owens. But his infl uence reaches far beyond country music. Over the years, everyone from Bob Dylan to groups such as the Grateful Dead has paid homage

to Haggard’s unfl inchingly honest approach to his craft . “The Hag” is oft en name-checked in interviews as an example of a man long-dedicated to presenti ng the purest musical vision. There’s no sugar-coati ng or polishing. Haggard has always said what’s on his mind whether you like it or not – and he’s sure to give Evansville an earful when he plays the Centre on October 29th. The 76-year-old grew up in California and quickly gained a reputati on as a trouble-maker aft er the passing of his father in 1945. Aft er numerous sti nts in jail, including the infamous San Quenti n Prison, Haggard fi nally got his act together and got serious about playing the guitar (he also plays a mean fi ddle). His outlaw persona seemed to strike a chord with audiences, and by the early 1960’s, he was recording for a local label. While Haggard had a real talent for writi ng, he parti cularly excelled at singing other peoples’ songs which became a trademark of his career. In fact, his fi rst big hit in 1965 was a tune writt en by Liz Anderson called “(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers.” Once Haggard broke into the top ten, the fl ood gates opened. The hits came fast and furious for the guitar slinger with the Telecaster twang, including the beloved “Okie from Muskogee,” “Carolyn,” “The Fighti n’ Side of Me” and “The Roots of My Raising.” Throughout the 70’s and into the early 80’s, Haggard maintained his positi on at the top of the country charts, releasing a

conti nuous stream of number one songs before the hits dried up. But the downturn in musical fortune gave him the opportunity to take stock and write a well-received autobiography, Sing Me Back Home. Haggard’s fearlessness was splashed across the pages, making for an oft en painful but ulti mately rewarding read. The cauti onary tales of hard living only added to his growing legend as a sort of modern day outlaw. Never one to back down from a challenge, Haggard refused to be silenced aft er CBS Records Nashville passed on releasing the patrioti c song “Me and Crippled Soldiers Give a Damn” in 1989. The controversial track was writt en as a reacti on to the Supreme Court’s decision to allow fl ag burning under the First Amendment. Rather than take the rejecti on lying down, Haggard simply bought out his recording contract with CBS and found a label willing to put out the song. It was classic “Hag.”Coincidentally or not, Haggard did lie low for a period following the label war but resurfaced in 2000 with the stripped-down, criti cally-lauded If I Could Only Fly. Another excellent album, Chicago Wind, appeared in 2005. It contained the anti -Iraq war song “America First.” In 2010, Haggard released I Am What I AM, a ti tle which perfectly disti lls the country legend’s manifesto down to fi ve simple words.

But take a moment to consider the opti on of Concierge medicine. The term “concierge” refers to someone

who provides goods and services and makes arrangements. In the context of a medical practi ce, it simply means that your doctor is there when you need them. Concierge pati ents receive a more personalized level of service, including direct contact with the physician by phone, email or even two-way video conferencing. Offi ce visits – which average a minimum of 20 minutes - can oft en be scheduled the same day or the following day; doctors can even make house calls.

Last April, Dr. Roy Arnold opened 21st Century Healthcare, one of only two Concierge medicine practi ces in Evansville. Selected as one of America’s Top Physicians the last three years by the Consumers’ Research Council of America, Dr. Arnold is board-certi fi ed in Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Disease. He knows fi rst-hand the frustrati ons of pati ents. “I talked to over 100 people who have primary care and asked them what they don’t like about the services provided,” he explains. “The most common complaint was the inability to get in to see their doctor when they are sick.”

Pati ents 14-and-over covered by a commercial insurance plan or Medicare are eligible for Concierge medicine. The annual fees are aff ordable - typically $100 per month – and take care of any out-of-pocket costs from your health care plan. Dr. Arnold sees Concierge medicine as the future of healthcare. “If you look at the current situati on, many doctors are not taking Medicare pati ents or new pati ents. There is going to be a primary care shortage over the next 10-15 years.”

conti nuous stream of number one songs before the hits dried up. But the downturn in musical fortune gave him the opportunity to take stock and write a well-received autobiography, Sing Me Back Home. Haggard’s fearlessness was splashed across the pages, making for an oft en painful but ulti mately rewarding read. The cauti onary tales of hard living only added to his growing legend as a sort of modern day outlaw. Never one to back down from a challenge, Haggard refused to be silenced aft er CBS Records Nashville passed on releasing the patrioti c song “Me and Crippled Soldiers Give a Damn” in 1989. The controversial track was writt en as a reacti on to the Supreme Court’s decision to allow fl ag burning under the First Amendment. Rather than take the rejecti on lying down, Haggard simply bought out his recording contract with CBS and found a label willing to put out the song. It was classic “Hag.”Coincidentally or not, Haggard did lie low for a period following the label war but resurfaced in 2000 with the stripped-down, criti cally-lauded If I Could Only Fly. Another excellent album, Chicago Wind, appeared in 2005. It contained the anti -Iraq war song “America First.” In 2010, Haggard released I Am What I AM, a ti tle which perfectly disti lls the country legend’s manifesto down to fi ve simple words.


News4U (N4U): Who or what inspired you to play the game of basketball? Derek Anderson (DA): My friend Maurice Morris gave me confi dence but my Uncle George gave me all the knowledge and skills.

N4U: What advice would you give to someone who is interested in making a career out of the game?

DA: To study other top players that your game is similar to or you want to be bett er than. Study means watch their games, not just their highlights.

N4U: Can you describe your most powerful memory on the court?DA: When I dunked over Louisville four ti mes in the 1st half.

N4U: For you, what is the most interesti ng aspect of the game of basketball?DA: The way you fall in love with winning is like being in a relati onship. And losing is the same way! You can be up and then down in an instant!

N4U: You are a wizard at the ‘drive,’ uti lizing one-handed dunks and reverse lay-ups, what made you so profi cient at taking the ball to the hoop and getti ng the points (oft en ti mes with a guy who was a foot taller than you guarding the basket)?DA: When I was in the 7th grade there was a guy who blocked my lay up in front of all my friends. Aft er that, I made a decision to NEVER allow that to happen again. I said this... ‘If you’re in the way, between me and the goal, then I must make you move or go through you…End of story!”

N4U: What is one thing you can contribute that got you through all the tough ti mes in your life? DA: The way I can control my temper while being pushed to the limit. I learned to not lose it inside. Therefore, I never lost it outside.

N4U: What do you think led to you possessing the mental ‘Stamina’ you have today?DA: The drive to enjoy my own life. I saw other people quitti ng and I said I would never quit because they all started to have bad stuff happen even more. I refuse to Lose in ANYTHING!

N4U: What was you ulti mate inspirati on behind your book of the same ti tle? DA: Getti ng a relati onship with my parents aft er not seeing them for 20 plus years! I really wanted people to see that the life you have is meant for you. No matt er who’s in it or who’s NOT in it. I live for me and those that love me.... Period. :)

His talent, hard work and moti vati on landed him a spot on seven diff erent teams in the NBA and allowed him to play college ball for the University of Kentucky and Ohio State University. That same drive has now translated into a tell-all, moti vati onal book called Stamina detailing Anderson’s

childhood surrounded by loss, poverty and vice. It is a classic tale of rolling with the punches and achieving your goals when the odds are stacked against you.

Anderson took a moment out of his schedule to speak with News4U.

With an 11 year career in professional basketball, Derek Anderson has lived a dream not many

others get to experience.

Hi Laney,UGH. I know exactly what you’re going through and it sucks. I caught my best friends’ boyfriend cheati ng on her years ago and decided to tell her about it. Long story short…she stayed with him and our friendship was ruined. All you can do is support her BUT also set boundaries. She knows you dislike him and shouldn’t get you in the middle of their fi ghts. In the meanti me, pray that 300 small children fi nd him and knee him where it hurts.

Talk of the Town Pizza1200 Edgar St., Evansville, IN 47710(812) 402-8696Once you’ve had Talk of the Town, it will become just that. First ti me I went, I fell in love! The setti ng is small and locally-themed with a beauti ful exterior pati o. I had never tried the red beans and rice, so I thought, ‘let’s get frisky.’ Out comes a cup full of chunked ham and smoked sausage, cradled by green bells, tender beans and a simply wonderful brown sauce with just the right amount of heat. Aft er came the Booger Bear Chicken Sandwich (R.J., the owner’s daughter’s nick-name). A toasty hoagie roll, butt ered and parmesan-ed is piled with fresh grilled chicken, mozzarella and provolone cheeses, grilled mushrooms and butt ermilk ranch. A litt le messy, but the fl avor is fi nger lickin’, so I say, ‘well worth it.’ Then comes my pizza pie, oh my, my, my! Perfectly crisp, brick oven crust, rests below a tangy tomato sauce with melted mozzarella. The huge chunks of Italian sausage and fresh, diced tomato made the pie complete. I have had pizza all over the N.E. and S.E. coast, and in my opinion, this is hands down one of, if not the best!

O' �Brian�'s Sports Bar & Grill1801 N. Green River Rd., Evansville, IN 47715 (812) 401-4630 O’Brian’s Sports Pub, is a grand pub if you are looking for a pool tournament, dart tourney, poker or some live entertainment. But we’re here to talk food, so let’s do so. We began with some Irish Potato Skin Nachos. An abundance of house-cut skins make a base for cubed buff alo chicken, chipotle ranch, spicy Queso sauce, scallions and bacon crumbles. Follow it up with a Rueben, why not? Thinly-sliced (almost shaved) corned beef sets the stage for sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing (thousand island), all packed in between two perfectly toasted pieces of a light, rye bread. Lastly, we went to the lighter side and had grilled chicken & wild rice. The rice was garnished with fresh sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes and green bells, all tender, yet not overdone. Laid atop was a thinly-sliced, grilled chicken breast seasoned in-house. I loved the nachos, but this was my favorite dish. Well done O’Brian’s!


sauerkraut “goes with everything German.” Two sides that you can prepare with your German meal include potato pancakes and/or red cabbage. Reitz shares, “Potato pancakes are a mixture of potato, eggs, onion grilled into a pancake, and red cabbage is made with spices and apples, which gives it a sweet taste.” Potato pancakes can be served with applesauce and sour cream. An alternati ve is potato pancakes Spaetzle, which according to Reitz are a “German style noodle or dumpling topped with a wine/mushroom gravy that is oft en served with entrees.” To go with simpler sides, you might consider German potato salad. You could also add some Bavarian cheeses, some sausages and some hard or soft pretzels. Tangy mustards and/or pickles can be used to garnish or to help fl avor your dishes. Finally, for desert, think about serving black forest cake, peach streusel or an apple strudel. Traditi onal German dessert recipes look to balance wholesomeness while at the same ti me delivering a delicious taste, but as a general rule of thumb forget counti ng calories and simply enjoy them!—Nikki Davis

German Cuisine with

Celebrati on of the German roots of many of our city’s residents is a ti me-honored traditi on in this area. Oktoberfest is a word that is used for many community celebrati ons that start in September and carry over into the month

of October. The traditi on’s roots stem from the original Bavarian event in Munich, Germany that has been celebrated since 1810. That festi val originally took place in the days leading up to the fi rst Sunday in October, and the celebrati on is an important part of the Bavarian culture. Gerst Bavarian Haus and Smitt y’s owners Jim and Jerry Chandler have been to Oktoberfest in Germany, and while the restaurant has not held its own Oktoberfest celebrati on, it tries instead to bring a litt le of that feel to both of their restaurants year round. Each restaurant falls in line with the German heritage parti cularly on the west side of town, and Gerst Haus in parti cular has quite a bit of informati on to share on how to liven your culinary experience for your own celebrati on of this heritage. First and foremost for German celebrati ons, beer is a traditi onal staple. Cindy Reitz, Manager at Gerst Haus, recommends Spaten, Warsteiner, Paulaner and Schneider Weisse. She also shares that some of the “weisse” beers are served with a slice of lemon. Reitz adds that the beer is what can pull your meal together. In terms of food, one traditi onal German dish is Pig Knuckles, which Reitz recommends marinati ng in a salt/sugar brine for 7 days. For those not familiar with Pig Knuckles, they are the feet or the knuckles of a pig. They can be pickled, stewed or jellied. Another meal can be made out of Sauerbraten, which is a beef dish similar to an American Pot Roast. The trick that Reitz shares for this meal is to marinate it in a wine/sherry/burgundy mix for 7-12 days. This mix is where the dish gets its “sour” taste from. If you are a beginner German cook, you might consider some simpler menu items such as Schinkenwurst Brote, which is a ham and bologna on bread, a bratwurst served with a curry sauce or a mini pork schnitzel, which is simply a pork loin chop that has been cooked with breading. Preparing your German dishes should not be rushed, though. According to Reitz, hurrying the marinati ng process can make the meat tough. She also shares that a good Rye or Pumpernickel Bread goes well with these meals and that

Enter the only restaurant in the area that offers classic Mediterranean and traditional American cuisine within a multi-faceted and high quality dining

experience. From a romanti c, meaningful anniversary dinner for two to a casual, holiday business dinner for 100, the Acropolis has the setti ng, the mood and the food. Co-Owner Doros Hadjisavva illustrates in multi ple ways, “We can customize our menu to anyone’s need.” And one would think that with the limitless culinary possibiliti es that Acropolis has to off er it would lose that grounded connecti on with its customers, but as it turns out, it’s quite the opposite. Hadjisavva reveals frequent customers come back simply because, “Acropolis is Doros & Ellada (his wife), and Doros & Ellada are Acropolis.” It is a sense of familiarity and comfort that is found in the restaurant’s leadership as well as its cuisine. Upon entering the restaurant, the décor reminded me of what I imagine a seaside Grecian villa to look like with a contemporary twist. There was soothing music playing and I was surrounded by warm colors with cool punctuati ng. Painti ngs and statuett es completed the vibe. The layout of the front of the house is very interesti ng. There are multi ple corners, coves, secti ons and the upstairs, which houses the two large party rooms (one holding 110 people, the other about 70). I was led to a cozy cove nearby the bar with a wraparound seat and readied myself to be served. All four of my dishes were brought out at the same ti me. The fi rst one I dove into was the Grilled French Chop with Mediterranean vegetables and roasted potatoes. The pork chop was perfectly cooked with a subtle but sati sfying fl avor. The roasted potatoes were savory and the veggies (carrots, green beans and caulifl ower) brought some sweetness balancing each other out well, both with a luxurious, tender texture. With the bone exposed from the chop and the unique presentati on it brought a refreshing, new take to a staple meal that took me to my own mother’s kitchen. The second dish was my favorite. The Gyro Tortellini, a dish so sinfully savory I felt like I was in

the seventh level of the inferno. It is a heft y dish, fi lling, but with the gyro meat, decadent sauce and cheese the fl avor holds no punches. It is both slightly exoti c in taste and familiar. The Gyro Tortellini is comfort food defi ned, that in my opinion, is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in the area. Third was the Spinach Arti choke Dip. It’s a warm dip that is a great balance of savory and tangy with earthy hints mixed in. The spinach is prevalent but not overwhelming. And again, there are familiar, comforti ng fl avors accented by the new and diff erent. Lastly, was an appeti zer dish that is a spectrum of fl avor. The Pikillia Kria or fi ve cold dips. It boasts tzatziki, feta cheese, arti choke, tahini and Acropolis’ hummus with pita bread to dip. The hummus here keeps a lightness about it but the fl avor is bolder and the texture more substanti al than other eateries who serve it. It is my personal preference. To be more specifi c about what all this place has to off er, Acropolis boasts a full lunch menu supporti ng dine-in and $8 boxed lunches to go including a side, mini-dessert and drink. There is also a weekly, lunch special focused on burgers, gyros, baklava or hummus. Acropolis also caters, holds formal tasti ngs and can host and feed large parti es. Acropolis is certainly a culinary citadel in the city of Evansville.—Nick DurcholzFor more informati on on their specials and services call 812-475-9320, visit www.acropolisevv.com or fi nd them on Facebook.

Chef John Johnson of Flames Grille originally heralds from Cincinnati . He landed in Evansville aft er a transfer though, and spends his days as the Executi ve Chef at Willow Park Reti rement Community. He graduated from the Culinary Academy/Culinary

Insti tute in Cincinnati , and he has cooked at several major country clubs in the Cincinnati area. The Culinary Academy was affi liated with the Culinary Insti tute of America based out of Hyde Park, New York. Johnson describes the experience as, “Instructors would come to teach certain classes for several months and then would return back to New York. Baking, Cost Control, Garde Manager, Pati ssier and so forth. This was a program off ered to only a few students each year. It took me three years to get accepted… I was determined.”

Meals from Flames Grille are currently available through their catering services while they are in the process of relocati ng their physical locati on.

For more informati on, contact them via phone at 812- 760-5138.

To additi onally describe his beginnings, Johnson shares, “I have cooked at a lot of diff erent places, have seen a lot of faces and cooked so many ethnic foods. I have never been out of work and I have been in management for the past 15 years. The culinary fi eld has truly been good to me. I opened a carry out only restaurant called First Taste Grille back home when I was fresh out of entrepreneur academy in 2003. I [then] got a job promoti on to Evansville, so I closed the carry out up [and have] been in Evansville for the past three years. This is home now, [and] it’s more laid back than the big citi es.” Johnson has cooked upscale cuisine for over 20 years, and he shares, “That’s my bread and butt er. However, I also enjoy preparing comfort style foods. There is a need for southern-style entrees here in Evansville.” Johnson goes on to say that he enjoys the Evansville area because it’s not too far from home for him and because it is so centrally located close to other major citi es. Johnson shares that his cooking style hasn’t changed since coming to Evansville, though. He says that at “Willow Park I can do my upscale presentati ons and feel good about my talent. I have managed to be the recipient of several awards and that’s a good feeling.” Flames Grille caters everything from boxed lunches to fi ne dining, and their pricing ranges from $6-$22/serving. When asked to describe some of his favorite dishes, Johnson shares that his Dark Daniel Sandwich is a hot roast beef sandwich that includes a thinly-sliced, top round served on dark rye. Johnson then laces the sandwich with hot mustard and Swiss cheese. His spare ribs are described as charcoal smoked for eight hours to give them a stronger smoke fl avor. For his deep fried catf ish, Johnson uses 7-9 oz. porti ons that are breaded and seasoned for “a litt le bite,” and his pork chops are described as follows: “dusted in seasoned fl ower and deep fried, golden brown.” Popular side items from Flames include oven-baked macaroni, fried okra, collard greens, peach cobbler, potato pancakes and cole slaw. Johnson shares that his roots in cooking stem from his mom. He says, “I learned southern-style cooking from my mother. Most of the ti me I would be on a punishment and bugging my mother to go outside and play. She would be in the kitchen cooking and she would put me to work prepping and cleaning. I would do anything to get back outside.” —Nikki Davis

Questi on (Q): Tell us about your most memorable moment from the 80s.Tiff any (T): Michael Jackson was wonderful. I had actually just knocked off his single “Bad”

Grand Opening:An Interview with

Tiffanywith “I Think We’re Alone Now.” He gave me great encouragement to stay in the music industry and he said he liked my voice. I got my picture with him and I will always cherish that.

Q: When you hear 70’s or 80’s music, what goes through your mind?T: Good Memories! Youthful memories! The other day I was shopping and I had kind of a bad day, to be honest with you, and I was feeling really ti red. Culture Club came on and immediately I just smiled and was back in my groove.

Q: Can you let everyone know what your experience has been like at Boogie Nights?T: Boogie Nights is awesome. It just has a great atmosphere. For me, as a performer, it’s in the bag. Everyone is ready to party. I love it. I love the costumes. I always tell people if you have a chance to go to any of the clubs, do it because you’ll always have a great ti me!

Q: I know that this club tends to att ract a lot of young people, who weren’t even born when these songs were big hits. More then any other decade, the 70’s and 80’s connect with people. Why?T: I think that they want to see the crazy outf its. I was so bland in the 80’s, I didn’t do anything but bad hair, big hoop earrings and a ton of shoes, so I didn’t get to experiment too much but I always come to Boogie Nights and I love the outf its! I love people wearing leg-warmers and crazy hair, and the guys all rocked out. I think that that’s why they come! It’s to see, “Really? This was the fashion?” and to be a part of it!

By David Spatz

The Boogie Nights Grand Opening Celebrati on is October 5 at 9 p.m. Boogie

Nights is located at 701 NW Riverside Dr. in downtown Evansville.

Ever y day, mill ions of Americans wake up every morning in pain. They take their prescription pain pills

and go about their day sti ll in agonizing pain. But what if they didn’t have to take those pain pills to alleviate their pain? It ’s possible, and there is a solution right here in the tri-state. Dr. Patrick Gottfried of Chirorevolution is Newburgh, Ind. offers personalized, convenient and quality chiropracti c care. But unlike most chiropractors, Dr. Gottfried off ers aff ordable walk-in appointments meant to empower his patients. “Our bodies are self-healing. Only 10% of our nerves actually feel, and when we begin to feel pain there is already a problem. It ’s not just about back pain,” Gottfried said. Dr. Gottfried is a nationally renowned chiropractor. He was a part of the 2012 Olympic chiropractor team as well as the chiropractor for the PGA United Leasing Championships at Victoria National in Newburgh for the past two years. He has also adjusted Major League Baseball hall-of-famer Rollie Fingers and two-time PGA US Open Champion Lee Janzen. Chirorevolution will be hosting their grand opening event on October 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the facility, meet the staff and learn about what Chirorevolution is all about. Dr. Gottfried will also be offering free adjustments and refreshments. —Lauren VanCleve

N4U: What was the most fun you had shooti ng a fi lm? AE: I had a lot of fun doing Django. What was fun was executi ng the trick of being eaten by dogs… So, the way it works is that the dogs are taught to att ack a kneepad. You take those kneepads and you put them on your arms, you put them over thick, leather padding and then you put your clothes over that. And so, the trainers were like, ‘Okay, you look good with the stunt, it’s working out. We need a safe word.’ And I said, ‘Okay, the safe word is pickle.’ Quenti n called acti on and the dogs start to go. I’m getti ng torn apart by the dogs, screaming bloody murder and then, I see the dog on my right leg - because his head got twisted around he had to release. And I’m looking at this, so I start to yell, ‘PICKLE! PICKLE! PICKLE!’ But then, the dog reatt aches and I started acti ng again and the whole scene went off . Then Quenti n calls cut and the trainers run up to me, they’re like, ‘Did you call pickle?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, but the dog reatt ached and then I thought the scene was okay so I just kept acti ng.’ And so, suddenly, all these seasoned stuntmen, look at me like I’m the man, they’re like, ‘Wow, you kept your cool.’ That one moment was like a small amount of pride for me.

N4U: Of all your roles, which character was the most dynamic or the most sati sfying for you to play and why?AE: I would say the fi rst thing that popped into my mind, I did a few years ago at the Roundabout,

of Django: Unchained, Hitch & BBC’s Copper

F rom a maniacal warlord in Blood Diamond to an underprivileged, adopted college student in Garden State, Essandoh has shown a wealth of talent and

to this day he’s still in a state of pleasant shock and major appreciation of his success.

Essandoh, who plays Dr. Matt hew Freeman in BBC’s Copper, took a moment out of his busy schedule to speak with News4U.

By Nick Durcholz

An Interview with Actor

A native of Schenectady, N.Y., 41-year-old Ato Essandoh’s acting resume is full of powerful

cinema, television and theatre.

Ato EssandohStreamers: David Rabe’s way. It hadn’t been seen in New York as a David Rabe producti on in – I don’t know – 25 years, and I played the character Carlyle who’s this complete psychopath and really lonely guy. I worked with Scott Ellis, who is now the

Executi ve Producer on Weeds and he directs a whole bunch of TV. I’m working directly with

David Rabe who’s just a legend and Scott Ellis and it was my fi rst off -Broadway producti on.

N4U: Do you have a preference for television or movies?AE: To me they’re both the same. The nice thing about television, or the nice thing about being a series regular like I am on Copper, is that suddenly I have to build a character over multi ple, multi ple episodes - in our case 13 episodes - and so, that’s a really fun challenge. That’s what I prefer now, because movies go too

quickly. You don’t really get to live in the character like you do on TV. So, if

– knock on wood – Copper runs for like fi ve seasons, I will have that experience of what it’s like to really live and start to understand the character.

N4U: How did it feel to be called ‘Commander Rambo?’AE: (Laughs) That was awesome! Again, I’ve got to look at the luck that I’ve had, but suddenly I’m doing some theatre off , off , off -Broadway and then I’m in Mozambique doing a movie with Leo Dicaprio directed by Ed Zwick and my character’s name is Commander Rambo. I mean…it doesn’t get any bett er than that. I was like, ‘Do I have to show up? Commander Rambo… okay, that’s all, right?’ (Laughs) And that’s fun because when I saw Leo for Django, I was like, ‘Yeah, I got you the last ti me kind of, in Blood Diamond, but now, you own me.’ So, that’s Leo’s revenge on me.

Looking to shake your rump or de-stress your mind? Two fitness classes at Ivy Tech, which are available starting in

October, could do just that. The Ivy Tech Wellness and Fitness center is holding two fitness classes starting Oct. 28: yoga and Zumba. “It’s definitely important to get your physical activity in,” said Ivy Tech Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, Amy Lutzel. “It’s recommended to get two to five days a week of cardio exercise. Zumba is for your cardio and yoga helps with stress and flexibility.” Zumba is described as an aerobic fitness program that features movements inspired by styles of Latin American dance and performed to Latin American dance music. Zumba classes will take place on Monday and Thursday evenings from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for eight weeks. Those interested can sign up for one night for $59 or sign up for both nights for $99 a semester. Yoga takes place on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for the same price of $59. All classes are open to the public, Lutzel said. She added those who aren’t interested in taking the classes can still pay $49 a semester to use the school’s fitness center. “That’s for people who may live on the north side, it’s a convenient location for them, or for students and employees who have family or friends who want to use our fitness center,” Lutzel said.— Jessie Hellman

March of Dimes was star ted exactly 75 years ago (1938) by

Franklin D. Roosevelt and its original goal was to raise money to help young children diagnosed with polio. Success came in the form of a vaccine, and for the March of Dimes the polio vaccine was only the beginning. Today, the March of Dimes conti nues to protect the health of America’s children. The March of Dimes Noble Prize-winning research off ers hope of treatment and preventi ons for serious health problems, like birth defects and premature birth. The Signature Chefs Aucti on presented by St, Mary’s is one of the ways March of Dimes raises funds locally. For the past 16 years, the best chefs in southwest Indiana come together and each prepares a signature dish for you to tour while socializing and networking with others, and browsing and bidding during the silent aucti on. The exciti ng live aucti on caps-off the evening with unique, epicurean experiences and items that always bring the crowd to life within bidding

competi ti ons. This event is located in lovely Downtown Evansville at the Scotti sh Rite on November 7th at 5:30 p.m. This event usually has over 400 people in att endance, and their yearly goal – which is oft en met, and exceeded – is $60,000. Though this is a large number, the March of Dimes Community Director, Ashley Murray hopes that it is not an issue to meet. As for the future of this event, Ashley says, “We hope to be in a bigger locati on and also, to raise awareness of the March of Dimes locally.” I have not been to this event personally, but I am a lover of food. So this aspect alone would probably inspire me to go. Plus, the knowledge that it is going to help young lives in need of medical assistance is just ulti mately inspiring to me. The key ingredient is you, and they sincerely hope you can join them for an evening of fi ne dining, top-notch company and bidding on choice items in silent and live aucti ons.

Evansville Signature Chefs Auction

Are you a fan of fine dining, silent auctions, or just socializing with new people? Then

consider visiting March of Dimes’ ‘Signature Chefs Auction’ for all the fun!

In additi on to creati ng his own material, J Swade is also an accomplished producer of rap and hip-hop. By pursuing the producti on as well as the creati on of music, J Swade has helped to expand the hip-hop industry by advancing the works of other up-and-coming arti sts as well as his own material. In doing this, J Swade has been able to reach listeners not only through his songs, but also through his support of other arti sts, especially those who share similar perspecti ves and values to the ones J Swade himself holds. Not currently signed to a label, J Swade produces his own material which makes his accomplishments, most notably, his recent success with his hit “How You Feel” even more remarkable. Also, J Swade’s “sex appeal and professional persona” aid him in publicizing his work and increasing its popularity among listeners. By striving to embody the popularity and power projected by his music, J Swade creates a strong, professional presence which amplifi es his credibility in the eyes of his perspecti ve audience. Additi onally, by placing a focus on appearance and his att racti veness to others, J Swade comes off as honest in regard to his prioriti es thus becoming more relatable to his listeners. Despite the fact that his content is most relatable to the nati on’s youth, J Swade emits a mature business presence, favoring his adult sensibiliti es over the teenage mentaliti es expressed in much of his work. This helps set him apart in the eyes of business affi liates and those he interacts with to craft , publicize and promote his music. Additi onally, J Swade stated that, “At the end of the day, it’s all about the fans.” It is apparent that J Swade puts a great deal of eff ort into staying true to this statement due to the way in which he tries to reach out to and communicate with his audience. This aspect of J Swade’s career is of utmost importance because it helps to culti vate and expand J Swade’s fan base.—Claire Edwards

J orell McIntosh, known as J Swade, recently became the fi rst Evansville nati ve to make it into 106.1 KISS FM’s ‘Kiss it or Diss it’ Hall of Fame. J Swade’s hit “How You Feel” has helped the young hip-hop arti st gain notoriety and is what granted him entrance to KISS’ hall of fame.

23-year-old, J Swade is fairly new to the music scene but is quickly gaining popularity. Swade uses his work, which addresses topics such as “life in the hood and love to the ladies,” to relay the tougher and more challenging aspects of life to his listeners. Due to his age, J Swade can easily relate to the struggles faced by the country’s youth as well as understanding the confl icts and viewpoints of adult listeners. J Swade’s musical career began in high school where he used to “freestyle and pound out beats on lunch tables.” Since he began his musical expression at such a young age, J Swade’s music has evolved quite a bit since its beginnings. Yet the lyrical themes concerning the struggles of growing up and the pursuit of romanti c relati onships have remained present throughout many of his songs. However, he can now approach these topics from an adult perspecti ve, which allows his work to branch out in a way that is relatable to adult listeners as well as teens. This versati lity allows J Swade to appeal to a wider and more versati le audience, not only crossing age lines but gender and socio-economic ones as well. Check him out on Twitt er, Facebook or

YNE

In the history of pretenti ous band names, Nathan Bayne’s short-lived, post-high school duo with friend Chris Hughes is up there with the most ridiculous: Transcend. “It was meant to signify us rising above or something,”

Bayne att empts to explain through fi ts of laughter, “which is funny because we were 18 and had no clue what we were doing.” Against all odds, Bayne recovered from that embarrassing musical misstep. He was even accepted into the Air Force and proudly served our country for six years, traveling to places as disparate as Antarcti ca and Afghanistan. So, all kidding aside, he deserves our thanks and appreciati on – if not our approval for his choice of band name. 10 years aft er the demise of Transcend, Bayne is now a solo performer, appearing regularly at local eateries and, more recently, wineries like Owen Valley. The 28-year-old musician describes his sound as “jazz jam – an amalgamati on of all the diff erent genres and arti sts that

Bayne will play the Winzerwald Wine Tasti ng Room in October. Check his website for details on this show and other

upcoming shows: www.nathanbaynemusic.com. You can also download songs or full albums.

I’ve listened to over the years, from Dave Matt hews to Billie Holiday.” His love for music stretches back to childhood. “I grew up in a musical family,” Bayne says. “My grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher on the north side of Evansville, and my grandmother played piano. So, every Sunday morning, we were in church watching grandma pound the keys and grandpa sing along.” Outside of church, he was parti cularly infl uenced by Bosse High School Band Director, Kevin Hulsey. “It’s amazing what he does with kids – to get 100 teenagers working together is a prett y incredible feat. He made me truly passionate about music and taught me a great work ethic,” he says, about the former EVSC High School Teacher of the Year.Bayne lived in Seatt le for six years while serving in the Air Force but moved back to Evansville with his wife and daughter upon becoming a civilian again. Soon aft er, he used his GI Bill to study guitar with Renato Butt uri at the University of Evansville. Last year, Bayne began taking music management courses. He hopes to conti nue his studies this spring with the ulti mate goal of working in a recording studio or, ideally, acti ng as a tour coordinator for a successful band. “I want to be the guy who handles all the logisti cs - use my Air Force training to make sure that every single detail gets taken care of so all the band has to do is concentrate on playing a great show,” Bayne explains. For the ti me being, Bayne is concentrati ng on his music. His primarily instrumental solo performances are a product of the looping technology that he has worked with for the last 12 years. Like local favorite Lindsey Williams, Bayne uses a master pedal board to accompany himself, slowly building his sound from the bott om up. First, he creates the rhythm with hand drums, triangles, tambourines, etc. and loops it. Over the top of this repeati ng beat, he then lays down acousti c guitar loops and eff ects. Slowly, a full band comes to life with Bayne in control of the dynamics. ”I like being the background noise to people’s evenings,” he says. “I don’t necessarily have to be the center of att enti on – though I do enjoy catching people off guard. Someti mes I’ll do covers of Jeff Buckley or Reba McEnti re just to mix it up. It’s fun to kind of infl uence a crowd of people without actually talking to them.” —Thomas Ellis





Started by Jason Carson in 2012, the brewery has been uti lizing a miniature system to brew its beer for tasti ngs and competi ti ons a keg at a ti me.

But on a beauti ful though steamy day in September they got to use their facility as it was meant to be used. It’s massive, gleaming tanks as incubators for new life in Evansville brewing, kicking out a batch 20 kegs strong. That day, the excitement of the Carson’s staff was palpable. Preparati ons for the ‘birth’ began early in the day with the milling of the grain and its adherence to the correct temperature. The real acti on began when the grain was fed into the Mash Tun where the grains soaked in water forming mash. A gradual increase of temperature (over a 40 minute span) brought out carbohydrates which were then converted to sugars creati ng wort and is strained through the bott om of the mash tun. Aft er additi onal water was sprayed onto the top of the mash to extract as much of the sugar as possible (called sparging), the wort was pumped into another giant receptacle called the Boil Kett le. In the boil kett le the wort was brought to a boil and small amounts of hops were added periodically. This process depends on the type of beer. The Harlot Honey Blonde is not very hoppy, so minimal hops were added.

This is where the magic happens. The chemical reacti ons begin and the ‘soul’ of the beer is formed (its fl avor, color and aroma). It also halts the natural enzymes and sterilizes the wort. Aft er the boil, the hopped wort sett led to clarify. Lighter and lighter unti l the blonde got her namesake color. The hopped wort cooled as it sett led and was sent to the Fermentati on Tank. Here the yeast was

added and the sugar in the hopped wort began to turn to alcohol…Here the blonde lies unti l her sultry self is ready to keg (and bott le eventually). Then, she is shipped to one of many locati ons to keep the drinker company at their favorite bar or for them to enjoy at home later. There is nothing quite like having a ‘gorgeous’ honey blonde on your arm at a bar or taking one home for

the night. The blonde’s siblings include the Eville American Wheat, Pagan Pale Ale, Brown Cow Brown Ale, RIPA and Red Dawn Amber Wheat. And these are just the immediate family…Head Brewer and mad scienti st of suds, John Mills will concoct seasonal off erings as well. Carson’s tasti ng room is opening soon and the beer will be served there as well as at local bars, including but not limited to, Roca Bar North, KC’s Timeout Lounge, Bokeh Lounge, Hammerheads and Gerst Haus. In the upcoming months, the number of bars which you can fi nd a cold Carson’s draft in will signifi cantly increase. Let us welcome this blonde and her family of brews to our area with eager palates.

On September 12, Evansville brewing history was made when Carson’s Brewery birthed its first official offspring: a sweet but sassy honey blonde named Harlot.

Ratings are given from 1-5. �5� is the best rating a reviewer can give, meaning they were very pleased with the beer and would strongly recommend it. �1� is the lowest rating a reviewer can give, meaning they did not enjoy the beer at all.

Daniel Knight •2.5This seasonal ale “pours up prett y” with a thick, white head and predictable hazy, copper color. The aroma is less impressive with only a subtle pumpkin scent and a litt le bready-ness. The taste is typical wheat ale, a litt le spice, pumpkin and malt. It’s weak on the fi nish– okay, drinkable, but not very exciti ng. That said, with its lightness and subtle fl avor, I’m confi dent that some folks will enjoy this brew.

Paul Bragin • 4This seasonal off ering has the color of roasted pumpkin and the thinnest head possible. Spices fi ll the nose. The fi rst taste is traditi onal wheat beer with pumpkin and spice notes coming later. The pumpkin and spice tastes conti nue as the beer is sipped. This beer is a great one to have during the fall. You could serve it along with the mandatory slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, but there’s no need to wait to put the pair together.

Jabez Marti nez • 3.5I like the original Shock Top but this was just average. It is a hazy, orange-colored beer. I could smell the nutmeg and spices that go along with similar pumpkin beers but this one was a litt le light on the fl avor. I could defi nitely taste pumpkin and spices but they were a litt le weak. If you never had a pumpkin beer and would like to try one I would start with this one. It is also fairly inexpensive.

Daniel Knight • 4This Oktoberfest inspired beer pours a deep amber color with a white head that stays on the glass for the longest ti me. Fruity and fl oral notes on the nose give the beer a pleasant scent. Malty sweetness is balanced out by the very light bitt erness of hops. Try this crisp and clean seasonal beer while it’s sti ll available, preferably with a bratwurst or two on a cool autumn aft ernoon.

Paul Bragin • 4This deep red beer that is a cross between a red ale and an India pale ale produces a thick, tan head that hangs on for some ti me before evaporati ng. The nose gives off a very strong hop scent with citrus and pine notes. The hop fl avor conti nues while sipping the beer. This beer is not for the faint of heart, but afi cionados of hoppy beers should defi nitely seek out this one.

Jabez Marti nez • 3.5A cloudy, brown beer with some hops and caramel in the aroma with some fruits added in. It had a heavy hops fl avor and some caramel but fi nished with the fruit fl avors. I did like the crispness that this beer had. I usually like the Widmer Brothers off erings and this was one prett y good.

Daniel Knight • 4This beer fi lls the glass with a chestnut red color and a noti ceable white head that vanishes in an instant. The fruity aroma of hops is present on the nose. The hop scent is very nicely balanced by the taste of a generous helping of malt on the tongue. The carbonati on keeps this lager light, crisp and refreshing. This smooth and drinkable beer would complement spicy food very nicely.

Paul Bragin • 4The rich, dark brown beer has a thin, creamy head that quickly evaporates. The enjoyable scent of roasted malt immediately hits the nose. Some hop bitt erness balances out the malt sweetness in the beer. The bott le says the beer is brewed with hemp. The additi on of hemp did not seem to add much to the beer, but this is sti ll a phenomenal beverage. This beer could become a favorite as the colder months approach.

Jabez Marti nez • 3This beer looked like a cloudy wheat with a slight orange ti nt. It did not have the strong fl avors that the usual Oktoberfest off erings have so I didn’t rate it higher. It had most of the standard fl avors but I hoped it would be more powerful.

This month’s beers are available depending on supply & demand at all 5 Liquor Locker locations.www.Liquor-Locker.com

Daniel Knight • 4A classic Oktoberfest beer, that pours a bright amber almost orange color. Crystal clear with a head that quickly dissipates. The aroma exudes sweetness with lots of sweet malts coming through, some caramel, slight toff ee, bready and grain like aromas. I fi nd the taste slightly sweet, with a nice robustness and a delicious spicy fi nish. Overall, this is a very drinkable beer and perfect for a fall evening. Bartender, I’ll have another.

Ayinger Oktoberfest-Marzen

Paul Bragin • 5This beer is golden yellow with a thick white head that lingers for quite some ti me before evaporati ng. An excellent balance of sweet malt and bitt er hops give the beer an enti cing aroma. Some very enjoyable notes of roasted malt more commonly associated with porters and stouts are present in the taste with hop notes coming through at the end. The only thing that would improve this beer would be a generous helping of traditi onal German food.

Jabez Marti nez• 3By the looks of the bott le I had high hopes. I was hoping for all these rich fl avors but I was disappointed. It seemed like I might be drinking an Oktoberfest but it sort of tasted like a plain lager. I was very disappointed. It did have some sweetness to it but a complexity of fl avors was nearly non-existent.

Cigar Review: A Great Alcoholic Drink

What cigar should be smoked with a great alcoholic drink? At Liquor Locker we have a wide selection of cigars that range from

mild to full flavored and wonderful beverages to go with them. If you have a strong and very complex bourbon, a mild cigar will be over whelmed. So a light-bodied cigar (Macanudo Prince Philip) might do well with a lighter libation such as a white wine, a light red wine or a blended whiskey such as Crown Royal or even a scotch like Chivas. Bottom line is that for those who like to experiment, this is a good way to relieve the tension of the day, to think noble thoughts and dream of the future. It is also a lot of fun to have these pairings with close friends!—Skip Seaman Skip SeamanSkip Seaman Skip Seaman

Nesw4U (N4U): Do you have a vivid memory of the Beatles’ historic performance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964?Mark Benson (MB): They played at the beginning and end of the show, but I had to be in bed by 8 p.m., so I missed the second performance. It was killing me, because I could sti ll hear it from my bedroom (laughs). But at the ti me, no one was really cognizant of just what an impact the group was going to have.

N4U: Do you think that the democracy of the Beatles was a key to their lasti ng impact?MB: Defi nitely. They could all sing and they could all play – there was no leader. The fact that even the drummer in the band had

a number one hit (“Yellow Submarine”) is astounding. No matt er the creati ve endeavor, when you can get a group of people pulling in the same directi on, all bringing their best to the project, it’s magic.

N4U: What excites you the most about performing the early Beatles material?MB: Quite simply, you get a chance to play some of the best music of all ti me – and to hear lots and lots of people tell you what the Beatles meant to them in their lives. You come away with the sense that there is something bigger going on here. There’s such a yearning for this music, for the sound and the senti ment.

It’s been nearly 50 years since the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and changed the course of rock and roll.

The show starts at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. For more informati on, please visit victorytheatre.com.

October 1 -Evansville Celebration of Diversity Distinguished Lecture with Leigh Anne and Sean TuohyFor Leigh Anne and Sean, it all begins with family. Leigh Anne, the daughter of a tough-as-nails U.S. Marshal, decided early on that her mission was to raise children who would become “cheerful givers.” Sean, who grew up poor, believed that one day he could provide a home that would be “a place of miracles.” Together, they raised two remarkable children—Collins and Sean Jr.—who shared their deep Christi an faith and their commitment to making a diff erence. And then one day Leigh Anne met a homeless African-American boy named Michael and decided that her family could be his. She and her husband taught Michael what this book teaches all of us: Everyone has a blind side, but a loving heart always sees a path toward true charity. The remarkable couple depicted in the fi lm The Blind Side- in their own words, are telling their deeply inspiring story at the Evansville Celebrati on of Diversity Disti nguished Lecture Series. Admission is free! The lecture begins at 7 p.m.

The stati sti cs are sobering: breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer among women in the

United States and the second deadliest. Roughly one in eight women will experience invasive breast cancer at some point during their lives. Thankfully, the American Cancer Society (ACS) is there every step of the way, counseling and comforti ng these women. In fact, one out of every two newly diagnosed breast cancer pati ents reaches out to the ACS for help and support. The organizati on’s eff orts have greatly improved the chances of survival – there are currently more than 2.9 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. On October 19th at Eastland Mall, the tri-state will have a great opportunity to honor breast cancer pati ents and survivors by parti cipati ng in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. The event is designed to raise both awareness and money to help the ACS fi ght this disease. Over the years, these walks have raised more than $528 million for research, services and access to mammograms for women who need them. Last year alone, supporters helped raise more than $68 million nati onwide. Registration is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. and the three to fi ve mile non-competi ti ve walk begins at 9 a.m. Apart from parti cipati ng in the walk, you can also get involved by fundraising, volunteering or acti ng as a sponsor.—Thomas Ellis

or those of you who may not know what that is …let’s just say the majority of women’s Halloween costumes fall under this category: Sexy bunny, Naughty Angel, you know the less creati ve (or less clothing) the bett er.

It’s becoming more and more acceptable to get your Halloween costumes at adult stores than actual costume shops. Now, there is nothing wrong with being sexy. I’ll be the fi rst to throw on some sexy sti lett os and a pencil skirt. BUT, that is not all we as women have to off er, nor should it be expected of us on a MAN-made holiday. So, I propose a rebellion of sorts. How about we mix it up this year and have a Harlot-less Halloween! I am allowing us as women to be ugly and funny. Not just sexy or freezing to death and uncomfortable from lack of clothing at the end of October. There are tons of awesome women in power to emulate such as Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama. The coolest I’ve seen, make-up wise, has been the Pop

Art/ Comic Book and Cartoon Characters. They included Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold!, The Mario Brothers, The Fairly Odd-Parents… The list is endless and get nostalgic with it. I also love seeing people painted in Gray scale to look like they are out of an old Black and White movie. It seriously freaks me out. Or you can get gruesome with it and build a whole new hideous face with makeup if you want. Let’s take back the FUN. We can’t let guys have all of it! Really ladies, there are tons of alternati ve costumes that will not require a bikini and heels. So, leave the Miley ‘VMA twerk costume’ at the store. For more clever costume ideas, check out my Pinterest board “Harlot-less Halloween” @According2Kana and JOIN THE REBELLION!—Kana L. Brownwww.kanabrown.com

Since the dawn of time, there has been an unwritten rule that makes it completely okay, if not encouraged for women to dress like a

harlot for Halloween.

star Trek into DarknessParamountThe story takes us into the darkness of space and the heart. It tastefully entertains, examines a violent circle of revenge and the difficulty of doing what is needed, versus what is moral. All of this, of course, is all very neatly wrapped with intergalactic spectacle courtesy of action-packed director, J.J. Abrams. Picking up where we left off from the 2009 movie, James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) Captains the USS Enterprise and Spock (Zachary Quinto) returns as his First Officer. The film keeps Kirk in a state of almost constant peril, which makes for a tense viewing. All of the important crew members are able to have their moment in the sun. Overall, the movie is fast and fun but does lack a meaningful experience - except to further the spectacle of the franchise - which in this case is not all that bad.

The Bling ringA24Based on true events, a group of teens uses the internet to track celebrity whereabouts and breaks into their homes while they’re away. The film focuses mainly on Marc (Israel Broussard), a somewhat sympathetic, lost boy who is self-conscious about the way he looks compared to others. We don’t actually see this; rather he tells us this during an interview after being caught (lame). The acting was well-done, but something very important is missing here – the story – and why it needs to be told on the silver screen. This is YouTube material at best. It could have (albeit little) merit as a documentary, but all-in-all it is one drug-induced party after another, one break-in after another, and the entire time no one seems to be in any real danger. Not that you would care about any of these characters if they were.—Ben Clark

October 4GravityWarner BrosAfter satellite debris nearly destroys their space shuttle, a medical engineer and an astronaut struggle to survive as they drift together out into open space. George Clooney plays the astronaut, Matt Kowalsky. Sandra Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, the medical engineer. Ed Harris is the voice at Mission Control. The film has a 90 minute duration, so I am not sure how they will keep us entertained within this limited sandbox, but I doubt Clooney and Bullock would have signed up if it wasn’t something special. Alfonso Cuarón directs and co-wrote the screenplay with his son, Jonas. Alfonso has been nominated for three Oscars and is probably best known for Children of Men (2006) and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). The film has a budget of $80,000,000, so I’m hoping we don’t just see a bunch of close-ups of space helmets. Again, I cannot begin to imagine how I could sit through an hour and a half of two people floating in space.

October 25The Counselor20th Century FoxAfter someone hijacks a multi-million dollar drug shipment, a drug-trafficking lawyer and his wife struggle to survive the ensuing slaughter by the relentless drug lords who want their shipment back. Michael Fassbender plays The Counselor, a lawyer who needs money now, a lot of money, and uses drug trafficking as his high-risk, high-reward vehicle. He plans to do a one-time deal, one big score and then get out unscathed. Ridley Scott (Thelma & Louise, Alien) directs a very capable cast including Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz. He is dedicating the movie to his younger brother, Tony Scott, who passed away while the movie was being filmed. The film was written by Cormac McCarthy, the author of the novel No Country For Old Men. They have four Oscars to overcome there with an all-too-familiar setup and no help from the Cohen Brothers. Hopefully, they do not try to do it with violence alone.


Chrono StellarisSeasonsSelf-Released4/5It’s safe to say that you’re not going to come across another local band quite like Chrono Stellaris. Aft er numerous line-up changes, the band

has stabilized and gott en to grips with a strange mix of infl uences that range from The Sundays to 1960’s psychedelia. The band oft en stretches songs to the seven and eight minute mark with long, intricate instrumental passages that conti nually surprise. But nothing is more surprising than the assured, mature vocals of Ashley Frary. Her voice is a revelati on – part Grace Slick, part R&B. More than anything, it’s her sense of melody that bewitches; she has a gift for choosing notes that are wholly unexpected but enti rely complementary. Seasons is book-ended by two excellent, similarly-themed instrumentals awash in swirling bells and chimes, but it’s the middle of the album that truly dazzles. Tracks like “Autumn,” “A Way Out” and “Jack” perfectly marry the band’s pop and psychedelic intenti ons. The latt er two songs feature inventi ve arrangements that go through a series of musical moods – refl ecti ve, pensive and joyful to name but a few. Frary, meanwhile, insti ncti vely places her vocals in just the right spots, never intruding or att empti ng to steal the show despite being the main att racti on. But even when she disappears, the music holds up beauti fully.

SPOTLIGHTLOCAL BAND cd reviewsThe Idgits

ABOUT THE BAND:The Idgits are Chris Chrockrem on drums, Cory Folz on bass and Jon Snyder on guitar. The three of us began playing together in a top 40 female led country band called Amy’s Shadow. When that band broke up, the three of us decided to get together every week and write some music. We had no intention of gigging or recording, we just loved hanging out and playing whatever we liked. After a � st � ght in the parking lot of The Guitar Lab, we agreed on The Idgits. It’s a Yosemite Sam term that we took as slang for “idiots” which is � tting for us.

WHAT THEY COVER/ DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE:We tell people we are a honky tonk band and they assume we are a country band. We could not be further away from that. The only rule we have is that we like what we play. How can a band that covers Waylon Jennings also cover Sublime or The Black Keys? It’s all in how it’s covered. We do have and play originals. Some are the songs that go all the way back to the late 90’s and others are new.

THEIR INFLUENCES:Buck, Elvis Costello, Wilco, Hank III, Conway Twitty, Glenn Campbell, Willie Nelson, Keb Mo, Neil Diamond, The Traveling Willburys, Tom Petty, Kiss, Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, North Mississippi All-Stars, Elvis Presley, Steve Miller, Flock Of Seagulls (what????) and many more.

WHERE YOU CAN CATCH THEIR PERFORMANCES:So far, Mojo’s Boneyard, The Deerhead and Bokeh Lounge. Check out our Facebook page to see when and where we are playing next. “Like” our page to become a Fidgit (an Idgit fan).

Anna RoseBehold A Pale HorseRed Distributi on4/5In 1997, Meredith Brooks released “Bitch,” a musical call to arms for women ti red of playing nice all the ti me. The key line of the

internati onally popular song – “I’m your hell/I’m your dream/I’m nothing in between” – certainly applies to rising star Anna Rose. From song to song, her personality confi dently and eff ortlessly changes, embracing both the light and dark sides. It’s no coincidence that she is routi nely compared to both Tori Amos and Janis Joplin – two singers from opposing musical camps. The diminuti ve singer can whisper seducti vely or belt out powerhouse lines in equal measure. Nowhere is this dichotomy more evident on Behold a Pale Horse than “Beauti ful World” and “Electric Child” which appear back to back on the album. The former track is a melodic pop song with fl owing, sugary vocals while the latt er is a grimy, distorted blues with a stomping rhythm and a snarling delivery from Rose. Both performances are totally convincing.


Felix MartinThe Scenic Album Prostheti c RecordsInventor of the fourteen sti ng guitar and founder of the jazz-metal genre, Felix Marti n is an innovati ve and unique musician who

uti lizes original eight-fi ngered chords and slap-tapping techniques. His atypical style is showcased in his sophomore release The Scenic Album. The album is the perfect mix of classical and modern sound, combining fast-paced heavy metal musical aspects with the creati vity and fl uidity of jazz.

Lots of LoveFrom the StartJessica Fleischer, performing under the moniker ‘Lots of Love,’ combines high-pitched vocals and whimsical lyrics in her album From the Start to

create a feminine singer-songwriter style. Fleischer’s sound is reminiscent of work by arti sts such as Sara Bareilles and Colbie Caillat. In additi on, themes such as broken-hearts, true love and contradicti ng emoti ons make this release compati ble with a mostly female audience, especially those in their teens. The common nature of the topics addressed in From the Start is off set by Fleischer’s unique vocals and quirky piano accompaniment. Overall, the airy and carefree qualiti es of the album make it a simple and cheerful listening experience.

Joe MoorheadTides Are RisingSqueaky Chair Music In regard to Joe Moorhead’s most recent release Tides Are Rising, Jeff Snipe of the Jimmy Herring Band remarked: “Honest and

believable, passionate and engaging…goose bumps don’t come easy. There is a lot of love in these tracks.” This statement does an excellent job at describing Joe Moorhead’s sound. The laid-back, island feel that this album makes it the perfect soundtrack for summer. Tides Are Rising will appeal to a wide variety of listeners crossing age and gender lines because each new track is catchy, relaxing and unique. —Claire Edwards

Tantric37 ChannelsPavement Entertainment, Inc.2.5/5Tantric is back aft er a four year absence with 37 Channels, named so for the ADD mind of band leader/songwriter, Hugo Ferreira. Reportedly, he wrote 116 songs for the album but as is oft en the case, quanti ty

does not equal quality. The general sound of past hits like “Breakdown” and “Down and Out” is in evidence, but there is an overall dated feel to the material not to menti on a few embarrassing missteps. Why Ferreira chose “Again” out of over 100 songs to lead off the new album is a head-scratcher. With its ti red riff , vodka-and-cigarett es vocals and half-hearted att empt at a melodic chorus, the track is a lost cause. “Blue Room” is a litt le too similar to Metallica’s “Unti l It Sleeps,” but at least there’s a (familiar) hook to keep you interested. Much bett er is “Rise” which showcases Ferreira’s profi ciency on acousti c guitar. This ti me, the melodic chorus hits the mark, primed for radio play. But just when things are getti ng good, “Fault” crashes the party. An ill-advised piano ballad that lands somewhere between Lonestar’s “Amazed” and Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home,” the song is totally out of place on a Tantric album. At least Ferreira had the good sense to save the best for last. “Girl in White” is both haunti ng and heavy with troubling lyrics about abuse and disease. —Thomas Ellis

cd sidebarcd reviews George GlassWelcome Home3/5Fans of light, breezy pop music may fi nd a new favorite band in George Glass. The Los Angeles-based group brings a mixture of Barenaked Ladies, Weezer and Ben Folds to the table complete with a sunny dispositi on and goofy sense of humor. Whether the

songs on Welcome Home are fun or just plain annoying is up for debate, but they are catchy, regardless. “AM Radio” is a musically buoyant number saddled with a grati ng, sing-song chorus seemingly stuck on repeat. The lyrics off er a bit more bite, detailing a singer’s declining popularity: “Who’d have fi gured you’d be at it so long/more than over the diminishing draw/downtown in the thick of the slog/barely noti cing the talk that you walk.” “Future Former” is a far more adventurous track that captures the band at its best. While the music is typically simple and melodic, the clever shift s in rhythm come out of left fi eld, adding a new dimension to what is eff ecti vely a Rivers Cuomo outt ake. Even bett er, the vocals act more as an accompaniment rather than a distracti on. Unfortunately, for every “Future Former,” there is a “Side Eff ects May Include” – a sleepy, forgett able track anchored by two major chords that jangle aimlessly. The boredom is palpable.
