The performance is open to all ages. A $10 donation to KFTC is requested, but a sliding scale will be applied to those who can’t afford that amount.

** Friday, Oct 28 - “America, Fuck Yeah!”: Patriotic Puppetry in Team America, World Police – paper presentation for the 2005 English Department Colloquium

An event I found on the Bluegrass Film Society blog. I am hereby resolving to take fuller advantage of the opportunities afforded us by living in a college town …

“America, Fuck Yeah!”: Patriotic Puppetry in Team America, World Police - a paper presented by Anna Froula for the 2005 English Department Colloquium – Friday, Oct.28 from 2-3pm in Rm. 245 of UK’s Patterson Office Tower (POT).

A synopsis from the website – “Released mere weeks before the 2004 election, Team America, World Police received mixed reviews from critics attempting to polarize the politics of South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Inspired by Jerry Bruckheimer’s formulaic action films, these patriotic puppets fight for a government-sanctioned, corporation-sponsored paramilitary group, and their logo consists of an American eagle’s head gripping the earth in its beak. Salon.com’s Charles Taylor exasperatedly charged the film for being “so determined not to have a point of view that it cancels itself out in the manner of those CNN ‘debates’ where two talking heads from opposing sides gainsay each other for five minutes.” Yet as it satirizes both the warmongering of Bush administration neoconservatives and the futile peacenik stance of liberals, the movie stands as resistance against a sharply divided American response to the ‘war on terrorism.’“

** Beginning Yoga Class at Dudley Square
A reminder about Cindy Reed’s beginner yoga class at The Massage Center at Dudley Square, 380 S. Mill St. Classes run from 7-8:15pm each Thursday night. Drop-ins are always welcome. As Cindy described it in a recent email, the class is “designed for brand new beginners looking to explore the fundamentals of yoga in a safe and nurturing environment … an excellent way to start your practice or a good review for anyone who has been away.” Class fee is $45 for a five class series or $12 per class. For more information, call 231-1782.

** Opening Oct. 28 - SenseAbilities art exhibit- art by those who support people with disabilities in Kentucky
We ran a note a few months ago seeking submissions for an exhibit being organized by Latitude. Now, it’s time for the opening. Here’s the info: SenseAbilities is an art exhibit intended to strengthen and support the community of artists in Kentucky who work with people considered to have disabilities. The exhibit is the result of a collaboration between two agencies who serve people with disabilities- Latitude in Lexington and Dreams with Wings in Louisville. Each of the fourteen visual artists in this exhibit are represented by artwork and a written narrative which discusses their role as one who has provided support to those of us considered to have a disability. The exhibition will run from Friday, October 28th through Tuesday, November 29th at the Carnegie Center for Literacy at 251 W. 2nd St in Lexington. An artist reception will be held Friday, November 18th during Gallery Hop from 4:30-8:30pm. The event will include a screening of “The Rest of My Life!” (a new dvd produced by Kentucky Protection and Advocacy), a reading by author Kim Edwards from her new novel “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter,” a performance by local folk duo Wishing Chair, and an open mic. For more information, contact Bruce Burris at 859/806-0195 or visit www.latitudearts.org.

[EDIT: EVENT CANCELLED.] ** Save the Date! Saturday, November 12 - Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! to speak at Joseph-Beth’s
Saturday, November 12th, internationally acclaimed journalist Amy Goodman, host of the national daily, radio/TV program Democracy Now!, will speak at 7pm at Joseph Beth’s Booksellers at Lexington Green. The event is part of Goodman’s national tour to mark the launch of her first book “The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media That Love Them”. The event is FREE and open to all ages. For more information, call 273-2911. And, cross your fingers … we’re hoping to have an interview with Ms. Goodman in the next issue of The Lexington Project! Not familiar with Democracy Now!? Tune into WRFL (88.1FM) Monday-Friday at 9am and get hip to independent journalism.

:: Wednesday, October 26 ::
INDIAN JEWELRY w/WARMER MILKS and CAVES @ The Dame
9pm, ages 21+, $3

Indian Jewelry = "Suicide inspired electronics from Houston, TX. Totally weird and unhip in a classically Texan kind of way. They are doing to electro what the Butthole Surfers did to "the Blues" or Scratch Acid to funk. That is to say, they are electro's simultaneous annihilators and it's half witted, monkey boy revitalizers. All decked out in sweat stained leather, with (poorly) 1/2 shaven heads, living on the road on a nonstop, never ending tour. They're pretty damn ballsy and totally amazing!" - Ben Hernandez, Detroit Art Space

:: Wednesday, October 26 ::
MY MORNING JACKET w/KATHLEEN EDWARDS @ Bogarts (Cincinnati)
8pm, ages 18+, $15

It's always nice when a sort-of "home-town" band comes sort of close to home (or at least close enough for you to go see them pretty easily). You know My Morning Jacket. The Louisville boys with the big hair and jangly, pretty songs. And that voice. You know it. You do, I promise. They've got a new record out too that's supposed to be pretty awesome. I haven't heard it yet, but I've heard all sorts of good things about it popping and rocking a lot more than usual (but in a better way than that sounds). Anyway. They'll probably be playing lots of this new stuff, so you should go check it out if you haven't heard it yet. Stand in the front row and see if you can get Jim James to shed on you – that always promises to be fun. Don't miss out on Kathleen Edwards either – she's a Canadian lady who got pretty big on AAA stations a couple years ago, but she's got the skills to back up the hype. She sings pretty songs that feature banjos and guitars and pretty voices. She's smooth and her songwriting is refreshing. One of her songs was even a Kafka Mafia high school-era theme song ("Westby," if you're really curious, and no, I can't give you details). - Eli Riveire

Sound samples from each act can be found on their respective websites: http://www.mymorningjacket.com and http://www.kathleenedwards.com.


:: Wednesday, October 26 ::
CAT POWER w/PAJO and DEX ROMWEBER @ The Bombard Theater (Louisville)
7:30pm, all ages, $16

Chan Marshall has one of the prettiest voices I've ever heard. It's sultry and sexy and twangy and perfect. She also has really cool bangs, and her stage alias is Cat Power. If this wasn't enough to make me fall in love, the actual music and songwriting is also gorgeous.
It's intimate and usually sort of gloomy, but in a way that actually makes you feel better on a bad day. I've never seen her live, aside from a spot on Austin City Limits with The Flaming Lips, but anyone I've ever known who has returned singing her praises even louder than before. She's rumored to do some pretty awesome covers at shows too, like of Smoosh's "The Quack" (First of all – OMG! Second, she even has a whole album of good covers). What makes this show even better is that Pajo is opening. David Pajo is Louisville's indie-rock go-to guy. You know, that guy from Slint and Papa M and like every other cool thing ever to come out of the city. This one time, my best friend's twin brother once saw him practicing at this abandoned warehouse in Louisville where a bunch of local hipster kids live. I was really jealous.

But so anyway. The Bomhard Theater's just a cool place to see a show in general. It's downtown, in the Kentucky Center for the Arts. Dress up and go out to eat and take a walk by the river before the show. Then, go listen to pretty music. If I wasn't going to be in Kansas City that night, I'd definitely be there along with you. - Eli Riveire

TIM DAISY’s FESTIVAL QUARTET @ Underlying Themes, 110 S. Upper
8pm, all ages, $3

This fall’s Outside the Spotlight series has been a percussion lovers dream. In the last month+, we’ve seen performances featuring Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love, New England madmen Chris Corsano and Matt Weston, Chicagoan Frank Rosaly, and New Yorker Harris Eisenstadt. They’re all half-dancers - flailing in various manners, controlled and spastic, in the name of abstract beat. It’s amazingly fun to watch. (For any of you who’ve seen Dave Farris play around town, you understand the joy.) The streak of young percussion masters continues Thursday when one of my favorites, Chicagoan Tim Daisy, returns with his Festival Quartet. I love Daisy’s sense of humor behind the kit. It’s not slack, just comfort enough to laugh now and then. The rest of the group’s lineup aren’t slouches either. Cornetist Berman and saxophonist Keefe Jackson killed with their Chicago-Luzern Exchange quartet last month at Underlying Themes. And, bassist Hatwich was a treat at the Festival Quartet’s show at Mecca last April. Recommended strongly to fans of Sunny Murray, Ornette Coleman, Wayne Shorter, and Ken Vandermark. [Full disclosure: I helped organize this show.]

:: Thursday, October 27 ::
SPOON w/MARY TIMONY @ Headliners (Louisville)
9pm, ages 18+, $15

Yeah. Sure, whatever. Thanks Headliners. And Spoon. Thanks a lot. This Thursday will mark Spoon's third consecutive date at Headliners that I will miss due to being completely away from Kentucky. Fuck. The first two found me in Arkansas, and this one will find me in Missouri. Awesome. Thanks, dudes. Really. Those squeedos.

You know Spoon. They're that totally rad band who got kind of big when the O.C. played them all the time; but hey, does that really make them any less awesome? Oh no, my friend, oh no. They can still rock killer guitar lines, croon crazy things out of Britt Daniels's mouth, and even beatbox (Thank God!) with the best of them. This show is obviously going to rock you HARD, so wear your tight jeans and shake your booty til the sun shines. And tell them to check with me before scheduling another date, okay? Okay, thanks. – Eli Riveire

AUK THEATRE w/WIZZARDS and MUDBOY @ The Icehouse, 412 Cross St
9pm, all ages, $5

Providence, Rhode Island has in the past few years become a beacon of light to anyone interested in underground music. Probably a combination of the run-down Industrial landscape, the Rhode Island School of Design, the artists/musicians that came out of Fort Thunder (a semi legendary collective living/performance/art space- http://www.fortthunder.org), and what labels like Load Records, Hospital Productions, Last Visible Dog, and countless others are doing with their own take on an American tradition of mindblowing psychedelic noise. Two bands from Providence (both comprised of former Fort Thunder residents) have been on tour with Lexington's Auk Theatre and are finishing up their tour this Friday at the Icehouse.

Wizzards is a drums/synthesizer duo with Brian Gibson (bass player from Lightning Bolt) on drums and Rich Porter (Bug Sized Mind/Cipher Fox) on an array of synthesizers, sequencers, and other electronics. Seperated from the drums, the synthesizer washes would be similar to the calming soundscapes of Tangerine Dream or Jean-Michel Jarre, but the drums being all crazed primal rhythms at light speed that NEVER LET DOWN, this is an entirely different beast. Check out the live MP3 on their website for proof - http://www.loadrecords.com/bands/wizzards.html.

Mudboy is Raphael Lyons playing an organ, but not the kind of organ you'd find in your grandma's basement. This organ has been taken apart and put back together again and customized to do Mudboy's bidding. Expect a more raw take on the minimalism of Terry Riley and Lamonte Young.

Auk Theater will perform a couple new plays that they have no doubt been perfected on this tour. There will be music DJ'ed between bands and horror movies projected on the walls, for an all out Halloween type experience. – Robert Beatty

“Rock N’ Bowl” featuring THE HELLMARYS, THE NIGHTSHADES, ARSENIC ON THE ROCKS, THE TALLBOYS, LOADED NUNS, CITY MOUSE, DEAD CITY REJECTS, and KITTYTWISTER AND HER HOT DOGS @ Southland Bowling Lanes - 7pm, all ages, $6

Rock N’ Bowl Halloween party = punk rock, party rock, costumes, bowling AND bowling pin beers (for those of age). Sounds like a winning recipe. For more info, refer to J.Todd Dockery’s piece in this month’s Nougat magazine (it, of course, originally ran in the Lex Pro and, if you don’t have a copy of Nougat handy, you can find it online at http://thelexingtonproject.blogspot.com).


::Sunday, October 30 ::
Mecca resurrects Michael Jackson’s “THRILLER” in the streets of downtown Lexington
7pm, all ages, FREE

Our recently relocated friends (they're now at 451 Chair Ave, off S. Broadway near Bolivar), Mecca dance studio and gallery presents their 4th annual resurrection of Michael Jackson's "Thriller!" video in the streets downtown. The staggering zombies and swaggering Michael have become Lexington's unofficial Halloween parade. The fun will begin in front of the Kentucky Theatre at 7pm and head down Main St to Phoenix Park. If you haven't seen the resurrection before, you definitely don't want to miss it. (If you have seen it, you already know you don’t want to miss it.) Like last year, Third Street Stuff Coffee will host an after-party in their parking lot near the corner of 3rd and Limestone. Don’t have details about the party, but I’m guessing music, food, and tasty coffee/tea/hot chocolate to warm you up.

Gypsy Ball: A “Moving Mecca” Benefit featuring performances by BIG FRESH, CLUB DUB, BIG MARACAS, FIREFOX HYPNOTICA, and RAKADU GYPSY DANCE @ The Dame - 8pm, ages 21+, suggested donation $6-$60

A chance to help out our friends. I say it casually “our friends,” but I mean it sincerely and on much more than a personal level. Mecca has been a friend to Lexington, to everyone in town who’s interested in the arts as something other than commercial entertainment. While not technically a non-profit, Mecca exemplifies the non-profit ideal a helluva lot more than most of the non-profit arts groups I know. The drive of the studio is pure heart – a desire to bring people together through expression. The studio’s given the community a spot to gather, to experiment, and to learn. In addition to dance and yoga classes and workshops, in its six years on Limestone, Mecca hosted performance art and visual art installations, independent music performances (an amazing array ranging from My Morning Jacket to Pauline Oliveros to Of Montreal to Wolf Eyes to Brotzmann/Gustafsson/Vandermark), and documentary film screenings. They’ve helped organize parades (the annual Mardi Gras Jazz Parade) and wild public happenings (see “Thriller!” above or remember their Austin Powers riff in the 4th of July parade a couple years ago). Mecca’s been a genuine force for community building. Blah blah blah … I’m sorry to blabber. The spot has meant a lot to me. Well, as noted in previous Lex Pros, gentrification has forced the studio off Limestone. They’ve landed safely in a wonderful spot on Chair Avenue, but the moving costs are threatening to pull them under. This show is a chance to toss in a few dollars in appreciation of what Mecca’s done and in anticipation of the great stuff they’ll do in the future. All the bands/dancers are donating their time, so 100% of the door money will go to help defray the moving costs. Lexington needs Mecca. Come out, give what you can, and enjoy the show.

Note: If you can’t make it out to the show but want to pitch in, donations can be made via PayPal.com. It’s a simple process. You’ll just want to make the donation payable to ‘info@meccadance.com’.


:: Saturday, November 5 ::
HOTOTOGISU w/BURNING STAR CORE and WALTER CARSON @ Charles Mansion
9pm, all ages, donations accepted for touring bands
for directions email charlesmansion@hotmail.com
more info at http://www.charlesmansion.org

Matthew Bower has been honing his M.O. of blissed-out wailing wall of sludge guitar drone in British noise bands like Skullflower, Total, Ramleh, and Sunroof! since the mid 80's. He's had many collaborators throughout the years, but Hototogisu is his most recent project with Marcia Bassett of the Double Leopards, Un, and Shackamaxon. The sounds they make with their guitars and various percussion range from ear-blistering skree to beautiful harmonic crescendos to the atmospherics from the depth of the sea.

This show will be the Charles Mansion debut for Cincinnati's C. Spencer Yeh, AKA Burning Star Core. Yeh has been going for over 10 years now and like Bower, has had his fair share of collaborators. For this show his band will consist of Yeh on Violin/vocals and two members of Hair Police/Eyes and Arms of Smoke (Trevor Tremaine and umm. Me) on percussion and electronics/processing. Should be a more subdued amalgam of electronics and processed acoustic sounds than the usual Burning Star Core set.

Walter Carson will open the show with his own brand of lo fi drones on anything ranging from unstringed guitars, unplugged cables, blank tapes, and amps without speakers. How he does it is anyone's guess. – Robert Beatty
[Full Disclosure: As he mentions above, Robot Booty is a member of Burning Star Core.]

FREAKWATER w/THE ZINCS @ Headliners (Louisville) - 9pm, ages 18+, $10

OMFG. Have you heard these ladies (and one fella)? It's probably some of the most twangy stuff I've heard and still liked, and I'm pretty tolerant when it comes to twang. They use all kinds of awesome instruments like steel guitars and mandolins and fiddles and dobros (what even is a dobro?), but I guess that's kind of to be expected when it comes to their line of work. Anyway. It's old-timey-seeming folk music with splashes of bluegrass and rock and just plain country goodness. Their show in Louisville is bound to be good, and I'll give you two specific reasons for that – 1) their name comes from a term for moonshine, and 2) they actually formed in Louisville back in 1987, so this is sort of like a home-town kind of deal. Snap on your western shirt and pull on your boots, sidle up next to some cute cowboy (or girl) at the bar, and sit back and enjoy some old-fashioned good 'Mercan music. You'll be glad you did. – Eli Riveire
