Fire drill
By Laura Kelly
I
t wasn’t that long ago, late October, mid-day,
mid-week. I was in a classroom on the third
floor of our four-story university building,
readying the projector for a PowerPoint I was
going to present when my storytelling class
began in about five minutes.
Above the din and swirl of students in the
hallway, I heard what sounded like a bell and
then an announcement. I took notice because
even though I have been teaching in this university for 11 months, I have never heard the
PA system being used. The bell sounded as if
it were being rung inside a sock underwater.
The announcement had the clarity of someone
yelling jumbly sentences into the corner of a
closed pizza box.
All I got were the words: fire drill.
For some context, I am in post-Soviet
Central Asia. I’m in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a
tame and orderly city of about a million.
I teach in an American university, which
means that classes are taught in English, the
professors have office hours, the students
wear backpacks. There are familiarities here:
cellphones and grocery stores, advertising
and graffiti. People take buses and taxis. They
wear skinny jeans and post selfies onto their
Facebook accounts.
When I caught the words fire drill, I
snapped to with starch and industry. I strode
into the hall. There, it was business as usual.
“Is this a fire drill?” I asked a group of
students outside the classroom door. One
looked up from the glow of his smartphone
screen. “Yes,” he said and plopped into a hallway chair.
FIRE DRILL—the words became capital
letters inside my head. The confirmation of
the drill was all I needed to prompt a fugue
state and release my inner former hall monitor.
There are protocols and procedures for fire
drills. There are rules and regulations. Let’s.
Get. Going.
I took on the persona of a traffic cop. “OK
people, let’s move,” I barked. “This is a fire
drill. Everyone out of the building now. Quiet.
Single file. Let’s get moving.” I waved my arms
and clapped my hands. I made big circles and
emphatic gestures. The students regarded

me with blank faces and returned to
their phones. No one quickened their
step or quashed their conversation.
I ramped it up a notch, aware
but unconcerned that I was the only
person yelling commands. I didn’t
care; I had moral righteousness on
my side. I was the voice of public
safety. “People! Let’s get going. This
is a fire drill. Everyone form lines and
move quickly out of the building. No
talking. Keep moving.”
Nobody seemed to be responding with the sense of urgency I
was trained to attach to fire drills.
Fire drills mean crisp organization,
single file lines of obedience, the
many working as one. This drill felt
like stoned cats just up from naps
thinking about maybe possibly going
somewhere outside sometime.
Two dominant thoughts battled like gladiators in the arena of my conscious mind: How
long would I be inhabited by this insufferable
alter ego yelling orders and telling everyone
what to do? And: This is a FIRE DRILL! What is
wrong with these people?
Back at St. Francis of Assisi, where I
went to elementary school, most of the kids
made fun of fire drills. It was cool to think
they were stupid, but I have memories of liking them, which sounds a lot like irrefutable
proof that I have been a nerd for a very long
time. I liked the theater of it all. Scary bells

Money pits
By Kelly Poe Wilson
R
ecently, a friend of mine told me a
story that made me both instantly and
insanely jealous. He told me that he
had been paying some bills and noticed there
was an unusually large amount of money in
his account. Concerned that some checks had
failed to clear, he spent a long time going
over his account to try and find out exactly
when the problem began, only to finally trace
it to a point sometime in the early summer,
which, coincidentally, was the same time
his youngest child had graduated from college. That’s when he realized there wasn’t a
mistake in his account: the reason there was
such an unusually large amount of money was
because, for the first time in over a quarter of
a century, he wasn’t paying for anybody but
himself and his wife. He felt like he had just
gotten a raise.
Personally, I think when that glorious
day comes I will feel more like one of those
athletes who trains all year with extra weights
on their ankles, or an open parachute on their
back, or maybe with their legs tied together in
the pool. I imagine myself bursting out of the
starting gate with so much extra energy (read:
money) and spring in my step that it doesn’t
even feel like I’m actually running, but rather
like I’ve just had my wings unclipped for the
first time in years.
A penny here, a pretty penny there
Does that sound too harsh? Don’t get me
wrong, I love both my children, and am still
happy with my choice to have them, but damn,
are they expensive. I mean, they cost me money
all the time. And I don’t just mean for the extra
stuff like ballet shoes and soccer uniforms, but
for the stuff that no one would ever consider to
be luxuries. Like ramen. And sheets.
Yes, sheets. Four people in one house
means at least two beds (unless your life is a
skit from Hee Haw), and twice as many beds
means twice as many sheets, which means
that you’ll either be spending twice as much
money on linen, or the same amount of money
and just get crappier stuff—at least for the
children. There’s no reason that both of us
should suffer from a low thread count. I mean,
at least I’m still going to have my sheets in a
few years—the ones I buy for the kids’ beds
will invariably be lost by then. How, you ask,
does one manage to lose a sheet? No clue.
No clue whatsoever. I’ve found it best for my
own sanity if I don’t look too deeply into those
things anyway.
I imagine myself bursting out of the
starting gate with so much extra energy
(read: money) and spring in my step that it
doesn’t even feel like I’m actually running,
but rather like I’ve just had my wings
unclipped for the �irst time in years.
There’s also the multiplication factor when
it comes to things like vacations (any airline
ticket times four is painful), phone plans, and
even books. (There was no way Clementine and
I were going to share the seventh Harry Potter
book, which, of course, meant two books.)
When they were younger I thought having
two kids meant that at least there were some
things I would get to reuse, but, of course,
I ended up having children of not only two
different genders but also two very different
personalities. I don’t think Clyde is going to be
passing his size 10 ballet shoes down to Clementine anytime soon, and even if he was willing
to wear any of her “Pro-Feminist Cat” hand-medowns, I think that ship sailed when he got to
be five inches taller than her … and counting.
Still, whenever I get too down about my
fiscal hemorrhaging, I think of my friend and
his late life “raise” and I feel slightly mollified.
And hopeful. Just think: I’ll be like the guy who
liked to hit himself in the head with a hammer.
Why? “Because it always feels so good when
I stop.”
Kelly Poe Wilson has lived in Flagstaff since
1985. She lives with her wonderful husband,
Jim, and her dreadful children, Clementine and

Jelly Bread‘s got somethin’ they want to
share with you, and that’s a mighty infectious groove. Vocalist and drummer Cliff
Porter shreds on something like a 20-piece

vocals and oh-so-smooth lap steel handles
the squealing licks backed by Jeremy Hunts’
round-the-mountain bass chops and Eric
Matlock’s perfectly matched key-tickling
on the Hammond B3 organ. This musical
five-spice of serendipitous fusion makes
this band the key ingredient to any night
worthy of dancing till the sun comes up—or
at least till the bars close. With Jelly Bread’s
combination of down-home rock ‘n’ roll with
a dash of funk, R&B and a whole lot of soul

I DREAM OF SYNTH POP‌
¡Mursday! Courtesy photo
Murs and ¡Mayday! collide in one of the most epic coastal clashes of all time to bring an
elevated experience backed by craftily layered beats. Together, ¡Mursday! packs some of the
truest lyrics in the game today and breaks free of modern-day hip-hop’s chains of unrelenting
monotony and synthesized, cookie-cutter rhythms. As the story goes, every time the six-piece
¡Mayday! would tour the country away from their home base of Miami, they would pop around
to see Murs in his native L.A. habitat just ‘cause he’s an all around rad dude with a fine-tuned
ear in the way of a well-written verse. Naturally, music began to flow forth from this budding
friendship, and now the rap writer and his extremely talented cohorts have combined to provide a taste into the high-energy lives they lead. Backed by Tech N9ne’s label Strange Music,
they have released their self-titled record to thunderous applause, and now they’re bringing
the party to the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Ces Cru, Marley B and Cash Lansky are laying their services on thick at the front of the show. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 the day
of the show. Doors for the all-ages show open at 7 p.m. and music kicks off at 8 p.m. For more

Eric + Erica have set up in Flag so often
they may as well be from here, and we’d
happily host these dream poppers any day
of the week. Since opening for Sean Hayes
back in September, they’ve continued to
shoot for the stars with their carefully
assembled melodies and simple, concise
synth beats with autoharp complement.
Even after releasing their first vinyl release
of their “Side Pony/Blue Ribbon” 7-inch and
recently relocating the ole ponderosa to
Chapel Hill, N.C., these two still make time
for this little spot on the mountain. Their
signature musical nature creates a pop-style
dreamscape capable of transporting the
listener to a magical, introspective world.
Eric’s musical revamp includes moving from
a drum machine to a live kit outfitted with
a foot-pedal synthesizer. Erica’s autoharp
and light vocals still carry the message of
everything this two-piece has built and
represents as her voice floats on a cloud
above the tunes they create. Local favorites
Teddy’s Bullet will crack the night open,
and it’ll be a night worth dreaming of at
Firecreek Coffee Co., 22 E. Rte. 66. The

Spell wrecked
myself
By
Andrew Wisniewski
A
phew weeks back hour Toothpaste for
Dinner comic red: “Spell check yourself
before you spell wreck yourself.” Upon
reading it I smiled and laughed, thinking to
myself, Yep, that’s me. Man, that is totally me.
Thing is, I do spell check myself. And
sometimes, I still get spell wrecked.
If you reed this colum somewhat regularly, you know exactly watt I’m talking about.
From thyme to time I make errors. It
happens. It’s part of the job. And when I do
I can always count on a friend, acquaintance
or someone I used to know to bring to my
intention the fact that I have (once again)
misspelled a word or to, or sometimes I might
even bee lucky enough to receive an email
from a reader pointing out sum dumb grammar mistake or typo I overlooked. To be fare,
that second one is a rare occurrence, yet know
less embarrassing.
I’ve learned that I’m good four an average of too per weak. Fore the most part they
tend to be obscure homonyms that I either
completely forgot about or am not at all
familiar with—butt knot always. In looking
back, they are always dumb mistakes. I mean,
really, really dumb. For example: I spelt apology “aplogy” in a headline. In a headline! I
totally forgot the first “oh” and it sucked the
heir write out of me. It was like an aero threw
my editor heart. And nun too my surprise, it
was also one of those rare moments when I
received an email calling me out on it. It eight
at me four about a weak, but I got over it
and moved on. I had too; I had other errors to
foolishly make and hate myself fore.
Other than that “biggie,” they’ve all
been very minor, and all feel the same, no
matter how small.
Again, four the record, I use spell check.
I do. I promise. But spell check is only half
the battle.
In the course of a long production day
this weird thing happens when you stair at a
computer screen for ours and ours (in fact, its
happening at this vary moment), writing and
editing and proofing and re-writing and rereading and re-editing and lotioning and oiling
and oiling and lotioning thousands of words
of copy. Its almost as if, at a certain point,
everything stops making since and things

start blending together like sum bad acid
trip. OK, not that bad, but it is a strange,
out-of-body-esque experience where the
brain stops functioning in the same weigh
it did for most of the production process
and easy edits become easily mist.
The next day I’ll stroll into twerk, catch
my mistakes, and it’ll feel like I wasn’t even
their. I’ll cringe and tell myself that I’ll be
“better next weak.” Sometimes I am, others
not so much—at least in my mind.
As I ponder, there aren’t any specific
words, grammar rules or stylistic nuances I
struggle with two much, or sew aye think.
Though, for some reason I can never quite
figure out the difference between rain,
reign and rein. Just ask my buddy Dave.
You slip up once in front of a well-red
friend and ewe never here the end of it.
Kidding. But he does make fun of me for it
all the time. Its really the palate, pallet and
palettes of the world that get to me, or,
come to the think of it, the pair, pare and
pears. Damn them.
Seriously, I dew spell check. Honestly.
Am I embarrassed when I get
wrecked? Always. Its my job to make shore
that sort of thing doesn’t make it into the
pages of Flag Live, whether it be in my
colum, my story or otherwise. It’s my number won job. And every time it happens
I hate it all the same and wish I could go
back and make the correction. Sadly, much
like a tweet, once it’s published and its out
they’re, its out their.
So, yes, aisle admit, from time to
time I do spell wreck myself, and I know it.
Sometimes bad. Others times just slightly.
On what would seem like rare occasion
not at all. And from time to thyme I also
except the fact that typos and errors are
part of the game, no matter how much I
dislike the fact that they are.
I guess isle just keep going back and
reading through what I’ve written and,
wants again, cringe, and hopefully smile
and laugh about it later. Its good to laugh
at oneself every once-in-a-while.
As a matter of fact, I’m feeling a
little intentionally un-spell wrecked at the
moment. To being better next weak.

Risky Art‌
City officials removed a $559,000 sculpture from outside a recreation center in Calgary,
Alberta, after it caused the sun to singe an art lover’s jacket. “It’s a beautiful, shiny object, and
that, I think, is part of the problem,” Sarah Iley, the city’s art and cultural manager, said. The steel
artwork, titled Wishing Well, has hollow hemispheres for people to enter and send it text messages,
which it translates into a light and sound display. Iley said the mirrored concave interior directed an
intense, narrow ray at the visitor’s jacket. The incident prompted officials to return the sculpture to
the artist to fix it. (Calgary Herald)

After their 15-year-old daughter was killed when the driver of the SUV she was riding in

10 percent of the responsibility to PennDOT and the other 90 percent to driver Scott Smith.

pilot descended to the bottom of Croatia’s 675-foot-deep MametCave after maneuvering through
the 200-by-230-foot entrance. “I don’t believe this is going to be repeated by anyone ever again,”
Trifonov declared after his 25-minute flight. (Britain’s The Guardian)
Stalker of the Week‌
Firefighters used jackhammers to partially dismantle a brick chimney where Genoveva NunezFigueroa, 30, was trapped eight feet down for two hours. Rescuers in Ventura County, Calif.,
lubricated the chimney with dish soap, then pulled Nunez-Figueroa from the chimney and lowered
her to the ground with a ladder truck. Sheriff’s Capt. Renee Ferguson said the woman had dated
the homeowner multiple times after they met online but her “intent was unclear.” (Los Angeles’s KTLA-TV)

Even though the number of British sperm donors has been increasing since 2004, they haven’t
kept up with demand. As a result, Denmark and the United States have become major suppliers of
sperm to British women. (BBC News)
Anti-Social Media‌
The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled that parents could be held liable for their children’s
Facebook postings. The decision involved parents who didn’t force their son to delete a fake and
defamatory Facebook profile targeting a classmate after his school notified them that the victim’s
parents had complained. (The Wall Street Journal)
Firebuggery‌
A British schoolgirl assigned to gain work experience at a hardware store set it on fire, causing $1.6 million worth of damage, but her attorney insisted his client hadn’t “intended to harm anyone” but “got a bit bored.” John Mohammed told Warwick Crown Court the girl “thought it would
cause some disruption, sufficient for her to be able to go home.” (Britain’s The Express)

Pennsylvania authorities charged Eric C. Opitz, 45, with fraudulently obtaining human growth

When a witness notified authorities of a kidnapping in Philadelphia, police checked surveillance video at the scene that showed a man pulling a 22-year-old woman toward a car bearing a

devices so the vehicle can be easily located if it needs to be repossessed. “We called the dealership,

What’s the deal with
the split finale?
The first movie
I recall that was

(but not in terms of

Tarantino’s Kill Bill
Volume 1 and Volume
2 released just seven months apart in 2003
and 2004. Kill Bill was initially planned as just
one movie, and in fact was shown as such at
Cannes, but at more than four hours the decision was made to divide it into two volumes.
The two-part “final chapter of a series”
trend—at least in the young-adult fantasy
genre—seems to have started with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2010 and 2011.
The seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling’s
beloved series was a weighty one, both literally and figuratively, with a good deal of action
combined with plenty of plot and back-story.
Having read the books I could understand why
the studio would want to provide the extra
screen time. The strategy certainly didn’t hurt
at the box office either, leading one to question how much the move was motivated by
financial considerations. The source material is
finite, it’s been a great run, so why not squeeze
a little more life out of a good thing?

The strategy can backfire, however, as
illustrated by the extension of that awful
waste of celluloid that was the Twilight series.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn was dragged
out to Part 1 and Part 2 in 2011-12, much to
the horror of most and to the delight of tween
girls who will realize their mistake in a few
more years.

since 1994
And later this season, the third and
final (I hope) installation of The Hobbit trilogy, The Battle of the Five Armies, will hit
theaters. Driven by the incredible success
of his Lord of the Rings films, Peter Jackson
originally intended just two Hobbit movies,
and that might seem to make sense given
how short the source material was. But
Jackson knows a money machine when he
sees one, and has been completely willing
to stretch a two-paragraph skirmish from
the book into a 40-minute battle on the big
screen, and to invent entire characters and
storylines.
Don’t expect this pattern to end, as Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War has already been
announced as a two-parter, as has Allegiant,
which was the third book in Veronica Roth’s
Divergent series. In Hollywood, “trilogy”
doesn’t necessarily refer to “three,” nor “final”
to “last.”

The buzz
in the night
NAU Theatre tackles
the electrified Victorian age
‌I
n the darkened Studio Theatre on NAU’s
campus, a startlingly strong buzz periodically
emanates from behind the wood-paneled
set of In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play).
It starts faint as a mosquito and grows louder
and more persistent each time an invisible hand
flips the switch.
Scenic designer Stephen House laughs and
wastes no time identifying the aural stimuli
echoing across the room. “Oh, that’s one of the
vibrators.”
NAU Theatre’s newest endeavor deals
not only with the device after which part of
the play’s title is affectionately named, but the
invention that gives it the jolt—electricity.
“The vibrator is just one of those many
symbols that stands for people wanting to
be self-realized in some way,” says director
Mac Groves.
For students forging their own paths
in the world, bringing Sarah Ruhl’s Tony and
Pulitzer Prize-nominated work to NAU is vastly
important “because we owe it to our students
to expose them to the widest possible range of
theatre. This is a contemporary play. It’s full of
some really simple but dynamic and vital symbolism,” Groves says.
In the Victorian age of In the Next Room
(or the Vibrator Play), both men and women
ignored their own sexuality even in marriage.
Husbands often brought their wives into
doctor’s offices with symptoms of sensitivity to light and sound, constant weeping and
headaches. These “hysterical” women were
introduced to the brand new medical treatment
electricity offered.
One couple, Mr. and Mrs. Daldry (Stephen
Willis and Alexia Coppell) approaches Dr.
Givings (David Vigani) for marital help while
his wife Catherine (Carter Conaway) tends to
her baby. Mrs. Daldry’s black velvet overcoat
lightly brushes the ground as she undresses
in Dr. Givings’ office for the first time. Her
treatment leaves her startled and confused

as this other doctor is
basically taking care of business for him.”
Coppell laughs as she says, “The doctor
doesn’t even have any idea and he’s sitting
right next to me!”
House explains the concepts of communication and misunderstandings.
“So a lot of these relationships, their problem is they’re just talking at each other, they’re
not talking to each other and understanding
each other,” he says. “Some of them go through
the whole show and don’t get there. Others

Imagine your kitchen cabinets packed with plates, bowls, mugs and
glasses. Maybe they all belong to a matching set grandma handed down
when she decided her ’70s-era avocado green flower pattern had grown
outdated. A chunk of a paycheck may have gone toward a brand new set
of your own choosing. Perhaps each piece was collected at so many thrift
stores it would be impossible to name them all.

won “Best in Clay” for his stoneware teapot
with cane handle.
Happy accidents
Louie Albertson, Levon Miller and Tolley
Rippon have more in common than a university
major and an affinity for clay minerals. Their
first experience in the tactile arts echo one
another as each discovered their mineral-laden
medium in high school. Intertwining ties led
them on their respective journeys to NAU for
the world-class wood firing program. These
three exceptional talents ultimately learned
passions can derive from a happy accident.
In his home state of California, Albertson
went to a public high school that didn’t exactly
promote fine arts. Before NAU, he was studying
to become a police officer.
He subconsciously thought, “I don’t want a
job where I could potentially get shot at and die,
so I think I’m going to pursue this clay thing.”
In Rippon’s case, he followed a former
girlfriend in taking a ceramics class at an artcentric Portland, Ore., high school. Though they
split, it’s this sort of serendipitous event that
played a part in him playing with clay instead
of paint.
“In ceramics, especially with wood fire,
there’s no way you could fire one of those kilns
by yourself, you just can’t do it,” Rippon says.
“You need this community backing you in order
to be able to fire not only their work but your
work in order to have anything done at all.”

Both artists share a table in the ceramics
studio. They tweak and borrow design elements
from each other, but still retain their individual
mark as artists. Albertson’s technically clean,
perfectly thrown pots now bear slouching
artists for its unpredictability and appearance
compared to all-over glaze.
“With wood fire, the whole outside of it is raw
clay, and all the colors you get—the oranges, the
reds—are all because of two things: flashing and
“I put that into the ceramics, because
really, you’re kissing it when you drink from it.

your health, and with a lover, which is important
features and sliced-off facets reminiscent of
Rippon’s cups and bottles.
ash accumulation. When you fire, the fire finds a
path through the kiln and will weave through all the
pottery,” Rippon says. “The places it touches the pot
is what’s called flashing. It creates a streak so you
can see where the flame was actually touching your
pot. Then ash will come into the kiln because you’re
burning wood, and ash melts at 1,600-degrees. It’ll
go in and stick to your pots then melt and forms it
own glaze. It can be greens or blacks or grey or pinks
depending on the kind of wood you fire with.”
to your spiritual and emotional well being.”
Potters are generally thought of as makers
of functional forms—and Albertson says that’s
exactly what they should be. He adds he’s running
out of cabinet space and may have to find a new
home for his “dumb Pottery Barn stuff” or reshelve friends’ pieces. Still, he remembers the
story behind each and every cup, mug, bowl and
plate. Even if the artists’ name has left him, he still
knows exactly when and where he found it.
He enjoys when he sells a piece or gives one
to a friend because they’ll make excellent use
of it—even if it finds its way to the back of the
cupboard for a while.
He imagines the piece will resurface one day
and the owner will remember him fondly, and he says,
“I think it’s just a way to give a little piece of yourself
to those who appreciate you—or even love you.”
The 14th annual It’s Elemental exhibit runs

Arts, 2300 N. Ft. Valley Road. The gallery is open
Tue–Sun from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. The Fine Craft Sale

Rippon explains he has extreme dyslexia
and has trouble reading past a seventh-grade
level, but his fluid, confident speech would give
no hint to his learning issues. He speaks of his
medium and instructors in the highest regard and
can rattle off multi-syllabic kiln styles without
breaking for breath. His unending science
experiment in clay lends to his encyclopedic
knowledge of fire and how its unpredictability
affects the resulting forms.
His personal favorite is the train kiln where
he can use a reduction cooling technique. After
the fire has reached its peak heat of 2,300
degrees, he seals up all the air to the kiln except
one little hole to shove in little pieces of wood.
“The wood burns up all the oxygen in the
kiln,” he says. “So the fire is hungry and starved
for oxygen; it leeches oxygen molecules out from
the pots and glazes. It turns things black or really
red, dark oranges instead of brown and green.”
The wood fire technique appeals to these
Feelings and origins
In the world of hand-thrown clay,
functionality and aesthetic create an experience
worth more than a quick glance.
Rippon calls a cup “one of the most intimate
objects you could possibly ever own because you
hold it in your hands and you’re feeling the warmth
and the texture of the cup. You put it to your lips,
and there are very few things in this world you
touch to your face, which is a weird thing to think
about, but I think that’s kind of cool.”
With the user in mind, he designs smooth,
thick lips for his drinking vessels, and likens the

‌T
echnology has found its grip secure within society’s basic operations. Although it has become so integral to our lives, some are still
perturbed at its constant presence, including music. Some argue that
technology’s musical influence lacks the intricacy of more classical styles.
Yet, San Francisco DJ/producer Phutureprimitive, also known as Rain, has
bridged the futuristic and the traditional into ambient EDM that enlightens and entertains without fail.
Rain’s discovery of music at an early age hinted toward the ultimate
fruition of Phutureprimitive; his passion only growing stronger as he
began DJing during the ’90s. He began integrating his own home mixes
into his standard DJ lineup and his subtle psych-electronic influence flourished among his fan base. Ten years after his first full release, Rain’s iconic
style has been withstanding the test of the music charts and audiences.
In his early productions, Rain relied on organic instruments such as
the didgeridoo, guitar, tribal percussion as well as naturally-occurring
sound effects. Compared to today’s trending electronic artists, Phutureprimitive is quite the contrary.
What makes Rain stand apart is his
modification of instruments that
already exist. His music develops
into complex fractals from rather
basic foundations, building upon
itself and growing at its own natural
pace, while his success relies on
slow, dramatic ascension and deliberate drops that make the audience
conscious of every beat. For Rain,
his creativity comes down to the
quality of the production rather
than quantity.
Phutureprimitive rests
between a state of familiarity and
unexplored music territory. Like
taking the first jump of the summer
into the local watering hole, the
thrill of embracing the unknown is
what gives Rain the trust of his audience. Much like electronic legends
Tipper and Shpongle, he draws his
audience in with familiar instruments, breaching preconceived
notions of electronic performances.
Rather than practicing the traditional use of instruments, Rain
creates infinite possibilities by modifying familiar sounds to re-ignite the
feeling of newness and discovery among audience members. This familiarity within their music creates an immediate connection and trust between
the participant and spectator, allowing him to provide guidance much like
a digital shepherd.
While Rain’s earlier work—Sub Conscious (2004), Kinetik (2011)—
remains a keystone to his discography, his latest EP Searching for Beauty in
the Darkest Places: Part 1, released last year, explores his ability to access
emotions of conflict rather than the subtleties. The opening track, “Enemy”
is a prerequisite for the emotional presence of the album. It stands as
the cornerstone to personal struggles—internal and external alike—and
illustrates a set intention not only for the artist, but for the audience as
well. Searching for Beauty wanes and waxes itself into the realms of dubstep, pop-vocal and house influences, but Rain remains true to his melodic
tendencies. He offsets the immense and foreign beats with soft, yet
empowered vocals by Jillian Ann that are integral to his composition. His
only grounding to any familiar instrumentation are Ann’s vocals, which communicate ideas through a direct message rather than implication.

Phutureprimitive at the Green Room in 2013. Photo by Tulasi (FaeryPrincess LemonMoon) Devi
The album continues to exercise his ability to encapsulate raw energy and calculated
precision into his tracks. Ultimately, the most
iconic track of the album is his own remix of
“The Human Experience – Dusted Compass.”
As though sighing after holding one’s breath,
the final song is a relief, calming and providing
closure to the first half of the five-song release.
This album differs drastically from his previous
work, a step into unknown territory for both
Rain and his listeners.
In addition to his emotionally dense album,
Rain developed an interactive piece to his tour
performance to present the audience with a
moment of self-reflection. Albeit simple, utilizing only permanent markers and duct tape, he
encourages his audience to write down their
fears or “demons” and place them on the bottom of their shoes. The act of dancing out their
negative thoughts, fears and demons creates
a rather unorthodox meditation aura, with the
entirety of the audience concentrating on the
betterment of themselves in the most surprising
of moments. The performance goes even further
as Rain brings custom built stage production,
3-D projection mapping and dancer-generated
visuals on tour; submerging his audience into an
all out imaginary dimension. The performance
transforms with Technicolor visuals and the
talent of ritual dancer Caeli La, whose dancing
presents a tactile human element to the otherwise entirely digital production. Rain’s immersive
live performance only adds to the intensity of his
electronic composition.
His commitment to creating a carefullycrafted and completely conscious performance
has multiplied into an entirely different plane
of existence. The dedication to creating a
temporary world to address one’s well-being
is refreshing in a culture where partying is
often the main goal in music performance. Phutureprimitive brings forth both the beauty of
technological advancement and the traditional
purpose of music to rejuvenate the soul in a
well-composed production that will leave the
audience empowered.

O
ne difference between top executives and worker bees, is that those
at the top can lower the pay of those
down below, while simultaneously raising
their own pay. If you wonder what’s causing America’s rapidly-widening income gap,
there it is.
Technically, CEOs do not set their own
pay levels, supposedly leaving that to the
board of directors. The typical board, however, is a CEO pushover, largely made up of
other highly-paid CEOs and brothers-in-law of
the corporate boss. But in response to public
disgust at the grotesque excess in the platinum paychecks of top bosses, corporations
have added a new level of “pay police” to
oversee the process—“compensation consultants,” they’re called.
These specialists are hired to analyze
industry-wide data to advise corporate boards
on the going rate for top dogs, thus assuring
an impartial assessment on pay that can calm
public furor. Really? Ha! Surely you joke. Guess
who hires the consultant? Astonishingly, the
board often delegates that delicate assignment to the CEO!
But even when the board runs the
process, the chief’s pay keeps going up, up,
and away. One reason is that board members
By Jim
Hightower
like to brag to their country-club peers
that they have the hottest of hotshot
CEOs, and you don’t prove that by paying
chump change. CorporateWorld measures
everything by money, so its cultural
ethic dictates that a top-notch top dog
is defined by a spectacular level of pay,
and the “best” is the one who commands
the most.
The contrived, self-serving corporate
dogma that multimillion-dollar executive
compensation is determined by the invisible hand of the mysterious marketplace is
pure P.T. Barnum—Elmer Gantry—Wizard
of Oz hokum. A truer system of establishing a CEO’s worth would be the old pirate
system—let every worker on the corporate
ship vote on it.

The Clean Palate
Breaking out of the routine
‌W
hen I was working in Boston, we would
get these beautiful oysters in fresh every
morning from the farmers who grew
them. The farmers were the definition of stoic.
Rain, snow, big surf or wind, they were out there
every morning at dawn, working their lines. I
remember watching them harvest in their aluminum skiffs, bouncing on the waves next to these
giant orange plastic buoys that held up the oyster
cables. These men and women had true work
ethic and some of the most weathered hands I
have ever seen. I became close with a few of them
and got to know their crews, families and the
oysters they farmed. You could always tell where
the oyster came from, depending on their shell
markings, algae, size and the truck they came in. I
genuinely enjoyed listening to the farmers’ vibrant
stories. They were fun, but most of all they were
real people. No ego, no filter—just hard workers,
working to make ends meet.
It’s been a few years since I left Boston. I
cannot calculate how many meals I have made
since then. After spending the majority of my
career in high-end restaurants, I still find myself
walking the aisles of the grocery store trying to
come up with a simple dinner. I get stuck in that
same monotonous dinner routine that we can
all relate to. It usually works like this: it’s been a
long day and I don’t feel like leaving the couch.
Nothing looks appetizing in the fridge. I grab my
keys, slip on my Chacos and head down Beaver
Street to the grocery store. Everything I could
want is at my fingertips, and yet I’m out of ideas.
It’s overwhelming to look around and
have all this variety in the aisles. We live in a
time and age that affords us the opportunity to
buy almost any type of fruit or produce at any
given time of the year. Northern season or the
southern season, it’s always in season. Slowly,
the convenience of year-round produce becomes
boring. Fresh produce is taken for granted,
because it is always there. This becomes the routine, as cooking slowly morphs into a mundane
daily chore. Despite all this, cooking is the art of
sustaining.
As a chef, it’s my job to be creative with
my food. Creativity sets me apart from my
colleagues. Nothing pretentious or unseen
before, I’m just adding a little variety to what’s
already out there. When we look for creativity
we expect revolutionary trains of thought and
we look for new schools of focus that shape
our perceptions. Consistently producing the
same creative product often becomes a routine task, yet consistency is vital to success.
The persistent weight to hone my skills
and practice my craft often gets in the way of
my creative process. The prospect of growth
and forward progress becomes lost in the
quest for perfection and functionality. Must I
produce the level of work that I am capable of
at every chance I have to cook? At times I just
want Jack in the Box, and I’m OK with that.
But it still feels like a waste … there are
endless opportunities to play, experiment and
fail when nothing is at stake, yet I fall into the
routine of making what is safe. It’s fair to say
that I’m only truly motivated when I get to cook
for others. I love cooking for my amazing friends
and the wonderful woman in my life. I get to fulfill my sense of purpose when I cook. I’m able to
provide sustenance, and that is enough.
I have always been excited when I find a
new fruit or vegetable to play with. I recently
found a dragon fruit that lived up to its name.
Shrouded in mystery, with it’s bright fuchsia
color, little green pointed shoots for leaves
and the distance it must have traveled, I found
myself captivated once again.
Every so often I find myself thinking of the
oysters and the people who look after them.
Bringing food to the table requires a tremendous
amount of logistics and hoops to jump through.
From farm, to truck, to inspection, to warehouse
and so on, the cycle never seems to stop. Farm
to table is a nice idea, but it never seems to
work that way. I need a greater connection with
my food. I respect those who work behind the
scenes to get our food to us from far, far away
along the coastal shores. They enable us to
create and nourish. And that little oyster they
farmed is simple, pure, humble and respected.
That is our food. That is the reason we strive.
