news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
A CONTINENTAL CUISINE,
WITH SLIDERS
Fast-Food Culture Shock:
Since December, the White
Castle restaurant in Lafayette,
Ind., has provided diners with a
stylish experience that includes
table service and a wine selec-
tion to go with its iconic slid-
er hamburgers. A state wine
industry expert told The Wall
Street Journal in February, after
a tasting, that she would rec-
ommend the Merlot, although
the Moscato was fun and the
Chardonnay passable (though
all wines come in $4.50, screw-
off-top bottles and is served in
clear plastic glasses). (As for
the sliders, said the wine ex-
pert, eyeing the burgers on her
plate, At some point, that was
a cow, I guess.)
LEADING ECONOMIC
INDICATORS
-- When workers at the
Carlsberg Beer plant in Vilnius,
Lithuania, decided to walk out
over poor pay and conditions,
the company went to court to
block them, and in March, a
judge ruled for the company,
temporarily halting a strike as
not in the national interest
because Carlsberg Beer is vi-
tally essential, thus placing the
brew in the same legal category
as medical supplies. (Said a
British labor union official,
This is probably the most
ridiculous decision in the
world.)
ANIMAL TALES
-- Eight to Go: (1) After the
year-old house cat Sugar sur-
vived a 19-floor fall at a Boston
high-rise in March, an Animal
Rescue League official ex-
plained to MSNBC that extra
fur where the legs attach to the
body enables cats to glide
and partially control their
landing. Research suggests that
steep falls are thus easier to
survive, as cats have time to
spread themselves out. (2) The
5-year-old cat Demi survived a
40-minute tumble-dry (temper-
ature up to 104 F) in Whitch-
urch, England, in March (al-
though she needed oxygen,
fluids and steroids to recover).
Jennifer Parker, 45, had tossed
a load of clothes in, unaware
that Demi was in the pile.
-- Something Else to Worry
About: A computer science
professor working with the
Bonobo Hope Great Ape Trust
Sanctuary in Des Moines, Io-
wa, has developed a bonobo
robot that can be controlled by
live bonobos. Among the first
applications of the robot, said
Dr. Ken Schweller in March, is
a water cannon that bonobos
will be taught to operate via an
iPad app in order to play
chase games with each other
or to squirt guests.
THE CONTINUING CRISIS
Drive-By Etiquette: In Febru-
ary, Kendall Reid, 36, was
extradited from New Jersey
back to LaPlace, La., where he
had been sought for allegedly
shooting at a car on Interstate
10 on Christmas Eve. Accord-
ing to police, Reid failed to hit
the car he was aiming at, in-
stead inadvertently shooting
out the back window of a car in
which two women were riding.
However, as the damaged car
stopped on the side of the road,
Reid pulled his Corvette over,
too, walked up to the women,
and apologized (Sorry, wrong
car) before resuming his
pursuit of his intended target.
THE REDNECK
CHRONICLES
(1) A 41-year-old man was
treated with antivenom at the
USA Medical Center in Mo-
bile, Ala., in March after he
was bitten by a cottonmouth.
The man had seen the snake at
an encampment, beaten it to
death with a stick and decap-
itated it. At that point, accord-
ing to the mans friend, he for
some reason started to play
with the head. (The dead
snakes teeth still contained
venom.) (2) James Davis of
Stevenson, Ala., vowed in April
that he would forever resist a
judges order that he dig up his
late wifes body from his front
yard and rebury it in a ceme-
tery. Im in it for the long
haul, he said, promising to
wait out the authorities. I
dont have much to do but sit
around (and) think about whats
going on.
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
Thought of Almost Every-
thing: Mishelle Salzgeber, 20,
was arrested in March in New
Port Richey, Fla., after failing a
drug test, which was a condi-
tion of her probation for an
undisclosed crime. Apparently,
Salzgeber knew that she would
probably fail on her own and
had gone to the trouble of in-
serting a small tube of some-
one elses urine into her vagina.
Unfortunately for her, a pre-test
body-scan revealed the tube.
(Besides, authorities tested the
urine in the tube and found that
it also failed.)

The Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia recently
won a $36,000 grant to study the genetic basis
of Trimethylaminuria, otherwise known as the disorder
that causes sufferers to smell like dead fish. The first case
reported in medical literature was in the 1970s, but according
to a Science News report, an ancient Hindu tale describes
a maiden who grew to be comely and fair,
but a fishy odor ever clung to her.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
E
ven tech giants can be
outdone with enough fund-
ing. When Google an-
nounced its Google glasses
nowknown as Project Glass it
quickly released a series of You-
Tube videos illustrating the pos-
sible uses of their newest toy. Put
your specs on, look out the win-
dowand see the temperature.
Make appointments via voice
command. The videos are shot
froma first-person perspective
and showthe wearer starting his
or her morning doing all manner
of useful things without touching
a smartphone or a computer.
Spoofs quickly emerged high-
lighting the pitfalls of this tech-
nology. Running into people on
the street because you were pay-
ing attention to something your
glasses were trying to showyou.
Accidentally sending e-mails due
to imperfect voice-command
technology and so on.
The reality is likely to be some-
where in between, but the amount
of power packed into a simple pair
of glasses is impressive, especial-
ly given its coming-very-soon
status. Not to be outdone, a com-
pany called Innovega announced
it was working on a prototype for
contact lenses that match or ex-
ceed Google glasses capability.
Tech companies make bold
predictions like this all the time,
and they dont always come true,
but nowthe government think-
tank DARPA(Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency, aka
the guys who really invented the
Internet and a whole bunch of
other stuff), has put in an order for
the prototype lenses, known as
iOptik.
These lenses dont just project
information in front of your eye
like Googles glasses do in-
stead they employ multifocal
technology. The center of the lens
contains the display, which pro-
jects itself toward the middle of
your eye, while the outer part
allows for a normal field of view.
This allows wearers to focus on
the display and the world around
themat the same time.
While the military usually gets
its hands on all the coolest toys
years before the average civilian
does, Innovega hopes to clear all
of the remaining hurdles, both
medical and practical, to have its
lenses on the market by 2014, no
doubt with a hefty price tag at-
tached.
For those of you eagerly await-
ing a set of Google glasses or
Augmented Reality Contact
Lenses, consider the following: If
youre prone to motion sickness,
just imagine what having a rela-
tively motionless image projected
over a constantly moving back-
ground will look like. Its bound
to cause problems for some peo-
ple, so have your Dramamine
handy. W
The world through
Internet-connected
glasses
Images from Googles Project Glass video shows a
prototype of what the world could look like through the
Internet-connected glasses.

NEON NIGHTS NEON NIGHTS
J
im Morrison has
been famously
quoted as saying,
I want to have
my kicks before
the whole shithouse goes up
in ames.
Its a romantic sentiment,
but one we dont all have the
luxury of regularly ascrib-
ing to, whether because of
societal or personal expecta-
tions. But there are some
instances where indulging in
such glorious disobedience
is acceptable no, expected
and one of those places is
at a Dayglow: Life in Color
show.
You can just walk around
and start throwing paint on
random people, said Matt
Morgis, a 19-year-old fresh-
man at Temple University
and Weekender correspon-
dent. And youre just free
to do whatever the hell you
want for one night, basically,
inside that arena or wherever
its at.
Wherever its at locally
will be the Sherman Theater
Summer Stage at Pocono
Valley Resort Saturday, April
21 with DJs Sidney Samson
and David Solano. And of
course, the freedom at The
Worlds Largest Paint Party
is limited to some degree.
Recreational drugs and un-
derage drinking are certainly
not encouraged, for instance.
The undercurrents of the
show itself call to mind a
level of self-expression and
maybe just a bit of hedo-
nism. Not only can spectators
douse one another with paint,
but washable neon paint is
spattered at the crowd from
large, strategically placed
paint cannons.
It seemed like everyone
was talking about it, and it
was kind of like you have to
go to Dayglow at least once
in your lifetime, so I gured,
all right, Ill try it out, said
Lauren Rosen, an 18-year-
old freshman at Temple. I
dont know if Id go again,
just because Ive done it once
already. Maybe Id try some-
thing new, but the paint really
got me into it.
For about ve uninterrupted
hours, people (and its mostly
a younger crowd) sway with
each other to electronic dance
music (EDM), watch per-
formers akin to circus artists
and revel in the act of being
festooned by neon paint,
culminating in what Presi-
Everyones sweating and
hooking up, and its just like the
awesome stereotypical college
party that you see in movies.

DAYGLOW:
Sat., April 21, 7PM,
Sherman Theater Summer
Stage at Pocono Valley Resort
(300 Camp Akiba Road,
Reeders).
$50.25+, through
Ticketmaster.
INFO: 570.420.2808
shermantheater.com
dent and CEO of the Sher-
man Theater Rich Berkowitz
described as kind of a mix
between Cirque du Soleil and
electronic DJ music.
It was really the perfect
atmosphere of freedom,
Morgis, who had attended a
Dayglow show once in Phila-
delphia with plans of doing
so again, said. Because you
just had thousands of people
jumping around, dancing
with each other. Everyones
throwing paint. They had
staff and security guards
walking around with buckets,
just dumping paint on people
... Everyones sweating and
hooking up, and its just like
the awesome stereotypical
college party that you see in
movies.
SETTINGTHE STAGE
W
hen Dayglow
makes its local
entrance, it will be
through the Sherman Theater,
but it wont be held at the in-
door location in Stroudsburg.
Instead, it will be part of
the theaters Summer Stage
project, and Pocono Valley
Resort in Reeders is just one
of a number of locations the
Sherman is using.
The Sherman Summer
Stage is a project weve
been working on for years,
Berkowitz explained. It
started out with mostly just
festivals and events where
we do stuff in mostly down-
town Stroudsburg or East
Stroudsburg, and this year
weve expanded that program
to include anywhere we can
put something together
So our Summer Stage project
is where we own the staging
and other equipment to be
able to do events pretty much
anywhere, so we can roll up
to almost any space.
Berkowitz feels that events
like Dayglow would normal-
ly pass by the area, and the
Summer Stage initiative is
helping to ensure that doesnt
happen.
Theyd be down in Philly,
which they are, theyd be in
Pittsburgh or theyd be in
New York or New Jersey, he
said. By having the Sum-
mer Stage project, it allows
us as a region to not always
have to say, Oh, we cant do
that show. We have qualied
people and equipment and
staff to start attracting that
business to our region.
PAINTING LESSONS
T
here are so many festi-
vals and concert series
geared toward certain
camps like Coachella for
the impassioned hipsters,
Burning Man for the eternal
hippies that it would seem
Dayglow, which marked its
beginning in 2006 on college
campuses in Florida and now
tours the world, would just
fall into the category of home
base for the EDM enthusi-
asts. The music, however,
is only one part of a much
larger whole.
I thought it was going to
be just like a giant rave, and
I didnt think Id have a good
time at all because I dont
really like any type of techno
or dubstep music, Morgis
stated. You never knew
what they were going to do
next. It was just a mix of a
concert and theater and art
and so much creativity, and
it just seemed like everyone
could enjoy it, not like the
stereotypical rave environ-
ment that you would think.
With all of its psychedelic
leanings black lights,
circus acts, the music its
easy to see how one could
draw the rave comparison.
Berkowitz, however, doesnt
think thats a fair assump-
tion, and Morgis and Rosen
echoed that opinion.
I nd it so comical, every-
one is so stuck on this whole,
Its a rave, Berkowitz said.
There are concerts like this
every night of the week, and
theyre not in basements
of old warehouses, theyre
in professional spaces and
venues.
The reality is, Im sure
theres somebody that is go-
ing to do some sort of a drug,
and they shouldnt, but to be
honest theyll do that whether
or not theyre going to that
concert or some other concert
That being said, of course
we take all the precautions
we do at every concert and
every event with appropri-
ate security (and) emergency
services on-hand.
And the paint aspect, which
is further driven home by
the black lights and the
white-clothing dress code, is
arguably the most important
element of Dayglow.
The paint was denitely
the best part, it made the
whole thing, said Rosen,
who attended a show in
Philadelphia. Its messy, but
its worth it. Just dont get it
in your eyes. w
Top two photos, our cover models
get doused in paint.

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
Special to the Weekender
W
hen I first heard about
laboratory-grown meat,
or in vitro meat, I didnt
really believe it was true. But it is
in fact true, and there are several
research projects currently growing
laboratory meat. No meat has yet
been produced for public con-
sumption, and its not to be con-
fused with imitation meat, such as
soy or gluten vegetarian meat.
The process of creating in vitro
meat involves taking muscle cells
froman animal and applying a
protein that will help the cells grow
into large portions of meat. One
animal could provide more than a
billion pounds of in vitro meat,
which could feed the worlds pop-
ulation for quite some time.
By September of this year, sci-
entists at Maastricht University in
the Netherlands will produce ham-
burger meat and have already
produced sausage. Although this
may not sound appealing to the
average meat eater, it really does
make sense if you think about it.
With the costs of factory farming
techniques always on the rise and
the worlds booming population, in
vitro meat just might be the latest
and greatest technology needed to
feed the future world.
Professor Mark Post, a physio-
logist at Maastricht University, said
at a recent science convention in
Canada that synthetic meat could
reduce the environmental impact
caused by the meat industry by up
to 60 percent.
We would gain a tremendous
amount in terms of resources, said
Post. The professor added that the
ultimate goal is to mass-produce
lab meat in order to cut back on
animal slaughter and global warm-
ing caused by livestock farming.
At the University of British
Columbia, professor Sean Smukler
believes that the lab-grown meat
will be a good solution for keeping
up with the high demand for food
all while taking it easy on the
environment.
It will help reduce land pres-
sures, Smukler told BBCNews.
Anything that stops more wild
land being converted to agricultu-
ral land is a good thing.
The president of Earthsave
Canada, David Steele, said that
these benefits could be achieved if
people just ate less meat.
While I do think that there are
definite environmental and animal
welfare advantages of this high-
tech approach over factory farm-
ing, especially, it is pretty clear to
me that plant-based alternatives
have substantial environmental and
probably animal welfare advantag-
es over synthetic meat, said
Steele.
While this newresearch is in-
teresting and somewhat gross, it
could be a great gain for society as
well as the environment. W
Lab meat
might not
be a bad thing
Lab meat could cut back on animal slaughter and global
warming.

hile very much his
own sound, the
smoky harmonica
and raw chords that make up
the songs on Drew Kellys
new album, Running Time,
create a feeling that is very
Bob Dylan-like whether
Kelly likes it or not. But
that comparison is something
hes learned to espouse. In
fact, even though Kellys
father was always a Dylan
fan, Kelly himself never took
a liking to him. Until one
day, he did.
I remember this was
almost three years ago, I
was 19 I heard this one
song, Shelter from the
Storm, the Scranton native
told the Weekender. And I
went storming through my
dads records and was trying
to find the one that that was
on, and it ended up being
Blood on the Tracks, and I
listened to that.
I didnt even know if
(Dylan) was alive or if he
was playing music or any-
thing, I didnt know anything
about him, and I went to see
him play, this was like No-
vember of 09, and then just
that alone, I got a guitar the
next day.
Kelly, who plays harmon-
ica and piano in addition to
guitar, has been performing
and writing music ever
since.
When I first started writ-
ing, it was kind of all just
songs about being on the
road and doing all that
stuff, he explained. But
now, theres so many other
things going around that
youve just got to be aware
of. And so I mean now I
guess Im just more in sync
with my surroundings than I
used to be. I used to be
kind of just one-track mind-
ed and kind of wrote my
own stuff, but now I can say
that I can write for people
better.
And hes learned to absorb
his surroundings into his
music so if you make it
to Kellys CD release party
at The Bog in Scranton on
Saturday, April 21, be careful
what you say within earshot.
I just like to keep my
ears open and listen to peo-
ple, Kelly said. I like to
think people write my songs,
I just happen to have a pen
and a paper.
That may be why Kelly
has so many original tunes
in his personal repertoire to
draw on.
We catalogued my songs
in the studio, and I have,
like, 50, he stated. I just
write songs all the time, and
I like to just record them.
Im actually going to start
recording another album
soon.
Until then, Running
Time joins 2010s Amoun-
tin to Somethin and, ac-
cording to Kelly, has a little
more of some blues and
other elements in it in addi-
tion to his trademark folk
sound.
The album came out be-
cause the singer/songwriter
was planning on moving to
New York City last Septem-
ber, but the plans got rear-
ranged when his friend sug-
gested he make a jaunt into
the studio. Much like his
freewheelin predecessor,
Kelly is now content to just
see where the music takes
him.
Right now my thing is,
Ive got my suitcase, my
guitar and my car, so I just
go, Kelly said. I just
bounce around, I like doing
that. I like traveling and
meeting people, because peo-
ples where its at. W

M. Ward has been churning
out music for more than a dec-
ade, but it seems mainstream
listeners didnt really tune in
until he teamed up with every-
ones favorite eccentric girl next
door, Zooey Deschanel, to create
the duo She & Him. Though the
result of that connection has been
nothing short of wonderful, Ward
has saved some of that magic for
his solo efforts with this months
A Wasteland Companion.
Seamlessly blending covers
with Wards own words and
chords, the singer/songwriter and
guitarists eighth studio album is
packed with fluttery guitar and
happily simple sentiments. It
kicks off with the forgettable
Clean Slate but quickly makes
up for the songs shortcomings
with Primitive Girl, a catchy
pop-inspired track that shows off
Wards indie chops.
Deschanel makes the first of
her two cameos on Me And My
Shadow as somewhat of a back-
ground singer, but her accompa-
niment on Sweetheart makes
the cover of Daniel Johnstons
song an album standout.
Wards cover of Louis Arm-
strongs I Get Ideas is a de-
lightfully retro addition to the
otherwise folksy elements of the
rest of A Wasteland Compan-
ion, and its guitar solo is about
as raucous as the album gets.
Watch The Show is the
records best track, beckoning the
listener back with woeful lyrics
about a bedraggled television
producer. On its face, the song
seems like a risk, and the lyrics
dont read like they would ever
be an appropriate match for a
melody, but Ward makes it work.
The record closes with Pure
Joy, a sweetly simple tune that
showcases Wards vocals perfect-
ly.
A Wasteland Companion is
packed with the shiny, vintage
elements that made She & Him a
household name. At the same
time, the album maintains Wards
individuality and displays his
ability to write lyrically complex
yet sentimentally simple songs.
His choice of covers is the cherry
on top, as his knack for making
just about any song sound cur-
rent while maintaining its origi-
nal integrity is downright mag-
ical.

Its best not to look too deep into MxPxs
newalbum, Plans Within Plans. If you
do, youll find lyrics that are juvenile at
best and mismatched music: Throughout
the13-song record, the bands ninth and
first in five years, there are tinges of 80s-
glaminspired guitars and drums, metal-ish
basslines and emo lyrics.
But the energy of the trio vocalist/
bassist Mike Herrera, drummer Yuri Ruley
and guitarist TomWisniewski cannot be
denied, especially as it celebrates its 20th
anniversary this year. Each song is a short
burst of vigor that does match Herreras
youthful vocals/words.
Aces Up blows open the album, and
the punky ScrewLoose precedes Noth-
ing Left, on which Ruleys drums are swift
and pounding. The Times features a
throaty bass and melodic chorus from
Herrera and Wisniewski; it ends on a hair-
bandy flourish that somehowfits.
In The Past sounds like metal-lite,
with swirling guitars and violent drums,
while Best Of Times is a reflective tune
about growing up. Midpoint-track Stay
On Your Feet is uplifting and anthemic
and a breath of fresh air.
Lucky Guy, about a fella thankful for
the girl who loves himdespite his lack of
Ph.D. and millions is pedestrian. The epic
Far Away follows with a heavy flair,
complete with a throaty bassline and Her-
rera attempting scremo. Cast Down My
Heart goes emo, thanks to lyrics like,
This will make me stronger, eventually
and Every break needs a cast while
Inside Out mixes punky and 80s guitar.
Though Plans Within Plans sounds a
lot like other bands of the pop-punk genre,
its just MxPx doing its thing and isnt
that whats at the heart of punk music?

MxPx does its
own thing
Pioneering industrial-rock outfit Minis-
try is back from the dead.
The band recently released Relapse,
its first album since Al Jourgensen de-
clared Ministry over with back in 2008.
The time off did the band some good, and
this album is as impressive as anything
else in Ministrys catalog.
Ministry has never been a band to shy
away from controversial subjects, and
Relapse is no exception. Most of the
songs on the album deal either with the
current socio-political landscape or self-
destruction via controlled substances, and
are delivered in typical Ministry fashion:
In your face with a blistering, thunderous
intensity.
The album opens strong with Ghoul-
diggers, a scathing critique of the music
business with the volume (and speed)
turned up to 11. Kleptocracy and 99
Percenters express many peoples dissat-
isfaction, and Git Up Get Out n Vote
could not be more straight to the point.
The cover of S.O.D.s United Forces
also fits well with the us-against-them
theme.
At the other end of the spectrum, songs
like Freefall and Relapse deal with
the harm that people do to themselves.
Ministry has penned many a tune that
paints a vivid picture of the traps of ad-
diction, but in this case, the music focuses
less on vanity as a reason and more on
just giving up.
With Relapse, Ministry proves that it
can still make powerful, meaningful mu-
sic. While the delivery is flawless, the
subject matter is where the band may lose
some listeners just a bit. Depending on
ones interpretation, Relapse is either
motivated protest rock or just Jourgensen
complaining, and the bands relentless
style only serves to blur that line.

By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
W
hen people think of
Justin Bieber, a num-
ber of different opinions
may come to mind. Some may
still see him as the teenager who
packed malls across America
past their fire codes. Others
might immediately associate
Bieber with his girlfriend, ac-
tress/singer Selena Gomez. But
for Mike Posner, the teen star is
simply a really cool kid.
Justin is 18 now, so the kid
that I went in to the studio with is
like, buddies with Lil Wayne,
Posner explained during a sit-
down interview with The Ral-
phie Radio Show. He, like,
skateboards with Weezy.
So how do you convey that
image of Bieber kicking it with
Lil Wayne to the public, while
not alienating the millions of
teens who adore The Biebs?
Posner feels they achieved just
that with Boyfriend.
My goal was to make some-
thing that me and my friends
could put on in the car, smoke
and drive to, and chill to, he
said. But also, not abandon this
amazing and gigantic fan base
that hes built thus far.
So Posner co-wrote and co-
produced the track, which serves
as the lead single from Biebers
forthcoming album, Believe.
Im just honored to be a part
of the Bieber project, Posner
said. Hes such a high-profile
artist that he really has the oppor-
tunity to change where music is
and push it in a new direction,
and I think thats exactly what
hes doing with his new album.
Speaking of different direc-
tions and new music, Posner
himself is in the midst of writing
and recording his sophomore
outing, Sky High. The Cooler
Than Me singer revealed that
the album is about 75 percent
complete.
The sound of the record, and
the emotion of the record, and the
tone of the record Im not
rapping, Im singing, but it grows
out of hip-hop, he said. Theres
a lot of soul in the record, and
theres not a lot of synths and
techno-beats.
The albums first single,
Looks Like Sex, will be about
as dance-y as the new material
gets. Posner did create a track in
studio with David Guetta, how-
ever, that wont make the album,
which will be out before the end
of the year.
THE MAINO NETWORK
Musical artists are constantly
using different social networks to
interact with fans from Facebook
and Twitter to Instagram and
Tumblr. But some artists, such
as Maino, are putting a different
twist on the approach. The rapper
teamed up with YuuZoo to
launch his own social platform.
He celebrated its launch inside
Jay-Zs 40/40 Club.
It doesnt take the place of
Facebook, it actually works in
accordance with it, Maino ex-
plained. You have all of this
information in one (site), instead
of having to log on and jump to
different sites.
The Brooklyn-bred rhymer has
a lot to talk about with his fans
these days. His
last album, Day
After Tomor-
row, dropped in
February, and he
plans to release an
EP, Still Unstop-
pable, this sum-
mer. W

s the warm weather
seeps into the area, the
desire to get out and
enjoy it begins to surge. The
decks are opening, and people
are starting to flock to the
hottest party scenes they can
f ind. What makes the best
parties often comes down to
who is spinning and if you can
get a world-class DJ who
frequents some of the most
popular clubs in the country,
it makes for one hell of a par-
ty.
Sector One Entertainment is
bringing in two such DJs for
two events this week that just
might get every-
one on the dance floor. Up
f irst is the River Street Jazz
Cafe Thursday, April 19 where
dubstep master Joe Nice of
Baltimore is headlining.
The Jazz Cafe has become
a giant of a music venue de-
spite its relatively small size,
said DJ Hersh of Sector One,
adding that the Nice event is a
continuation of Forward, Sec-
tor Ones regular feature at the
venue. Forward has brought
in many DJs over the years
and continues its tradition of
bringing top-notch talent to
the Wilkes-Barre area.
A native of England who
fell in love with dubstep over-
seas, Nice brought the music
genre to the States and is
now known as one
of the best dubstep
DJs in the
country.
Dubstep is a British style
of dance music, 140 beats per
minute, its heavy, he ex-
plained. It has a variety of
influences, and the sound has
been around for over 10 years.
Its a lot to learn, a lot you
need to know about the sound,
and Ive been playing it since
the early days of its incep-
tion.
This isnt Nices f irst time
to NEPA or the Jazz Cafe, and
hes sure it wont be his last.
Im really excited to come
back to NEPA, there are lots
of good people up there, its
always a good vibe when I get
back there, he shared. Im
1,000 percent ready for this;
Im ready to smash it. Its
going to be a good time,
Thursday night, deck night
with a lively crowd Im
gonna turn some heads.
Nice has almost two dec-
ades of experience and loves
being able to bring the joy of
the music to the people; it is
the reason why he does what
he does and why he prom-
ises an awesome party at the
Jazz Cafe.
Itll be a good night in
terms of everything: Energy,
excitement, good people,
environment you want to be in
to experience dubstep in its
purest form, he said. Its
going to be one of those
nights where I show people
how they want to hear dubstep
with a huge bass system, to
get people really involved.
ALL ABOARD
T
he next stop on the par-
ty train is Saturday,
April 21 at Rodanos in
Wilkes-Barre, where DJ
Hersh is opening up for the
renowned DJ Impulse.
I picked DJ Impulse for
Rodanos because he is a DJ
that can play anything for any
crowd and do it flawlessly,
Hersh explained. This is a
night where Wilkes-Barre
gets to catch a glimpse of the
club and DJ scene that regu-
larly is only seen in places
like Vegas, L.A., New York
City and other higher-end
markets.
DJ Impulse frequents some
of the hottest spots in the club
scene including Dusk and
Casbah in Atlantic City, Bond
and Insert Coin(s) in Las Ve-
gas, The Get Down in Balti-
more, and The Dime in Los
Angeles, where he resides.
Hes played in our area before,
and he never gets tired of
coming back.
Itll be a night of good
music, shots, more good mu-
sic, shots, shots, shots and an
all-around good time, Im-
pulse said. Im really look-
ing forward to playing some
new music, seeing familiar
faces as well as meeting new
ones. The crowd was so much
fun the last time I was there! I
plan on bringing a little L.A.
flavor, and I might even break
out an arsenal of inflatable
animals.
This is a special night for
Wilkes-Barre, Hersh said.
DJ Impulse is a world-class
DJ who is used to playing big
clubs all across the U.S., and
the world for that matter. He
is the caliber DJ that we rarely
get to see in Wilkes-Barre,
which tends to be a watered
down market. Impulse is a
member of a much bigger
collection of DJs who are
mainly out of Philadelphia
called the Skratch Maka-
niks, and they represent the
epitome of the DJ art form
they are recognized by other
DJs, promoters and clubgoers
across America as the f inest
at their craft. W

movie review
I
f it was the 1940s and all of us
were 10-year-old boys, it
would be understandable as to
why The Three Stooges are so
revered, but its 2012 and 10-year-
old boys no longer exist. We
shouldnt still be celebrating the
creaky antics of three tiny men
with unsettling haircuts. The
Three Stooges are comedys great-
est enemy. Far greater than tears
and famine combined. Dragging
their outdated and grimly unfunny
sensibilities into the 21st century
should be the kind of mistake that
kills careers and ruins reputations.
Yet, against all odds, Bobby and
Peter Farellys eerily faithful adap-
tation of the old Three Stooges
one-reelers is charming and, be-
lieve it or not, legitimately enter-
taining. And please keep in mind
that this is coming from someone
who hates The Three Stooges
almost as much as he loves to
complain about how much he
hates The Three Stooges.
Basically functioning as a fan
film that somehow received studio
funding, The Three Stooges
finds Moe (Chris Diamantopou-
los), Larry (Sean Hayes) and
Curly (Will Sasso) as they attempt
to save their childhood orphanage
from foreclosure and wind up
getting conned by Sofia Vergaras
character into murdering her
husband. In essence, its the kind
of storyline that couldve or
mightve been the plot of any
Three Stooges short and apart
from some awkward references to
Facebook, Jersey Shore and
those damn kids and their saggy,
damn jeans (why, you can see
their underwear!), the Farrelly
brothers stick to formula and
never bother to take the material in
a more modern direction. At no
point do any of the characters tell
Moe to, eat a bag of d--ks, there
isnt a third-act twist where the
cartoon violence suddenly takes a
realistic turn nor is there a scene
where its revealed that Shemp is
Curlys conjoined twin who occa-
sionally emerges from Curlys
abdomen and shrieks hibibibi
whenever hes hungry or scared.
Its disappointing.
But what The Three Stooges
lacks in cynicism it more than
makes up for it with surrealism.
Of course, the film isnt consis-
tently weird but the weirdness is
carefully rationed out in such a
way that it never fails to knock
you off guard. Even though The
Three Stooges is set in modern
times, Moe, Larry and Curly talk
and dress as if theyre still living in
the early 40s. The film doesnt
explain why. It also doesnt ex-
plain why it includes a very John-
ny Ryan-esque sequence in which
the trio use urinating babies as
weapons, visits a golf course filled
with dying fish, gives us a running
gag in which one of the characters
wrongly assumes that Larry has
cancer or why Larry David is
playing a sneering, vindictive nun.
The Three Stooges also de-
serves credit for at least putting
some thought into its slapstick
sequences. Although, its still not
funny watching grown men re-
peatedly slap each other, the pac-
ing is a bit tighter, and the gags
arent as blatantly telegraphed as
they were in the original shorts.
Although more affable than
genuinely amusing, The Three
Stooges is such an obvious pas-
sion project for the Farrelly broth-
ers that its hard not to get caught
up in their enthusiasm even if you
loathe the original Three Stooges
right down to their schticky, in-
human cores.
Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso are The Three Stooges.

usic used to come in
tangible form. Before it
was a blip on your hard
drive, it was a vinyl record, CD,
cassette or eight-track tape. It was
something you had to hunt down
or ask the guy behind the counter
to order for you special.
For some, its still like that. For
some, the thrill of the hunt is
more important than the conve-
nience of digital downloading. At
Embassy Vinyl in Scranton, that
guy behind the counter is owner
R.J. Harrington.
When you go to a record store,
you get to actually talk to people
who are passionate about music,
he said. You can go through
some stuff and maybe find some-
thing cool youve never heard of
before. Its a cultural experience.
On Saturday, April 21, area
retailers like Harrington will take
part in the fifth annual Record
Store Day. Their shelves will be
stocked with exclusive releases
from artists as varied as Bruce
Springsteen, The Misfits, Katy
Perry and Mastodon. All waving
the flag for the mom-and-pop
shops that played and continue
to play a formative role in the
development of music fans the
world over.

n better days, Gallery of
Sound had 11locations sprin-
kled throughout NEPA. Now,
there are four. The one in Ed-
wardsville closed down this past
winter, another casualty of the
ever-shifting landscape that is
todays music industry.
For owner Joe Nardone Jr., the
remaining stores arent mere
survivors. Theyre strongholds.
As much as it pained us to
close some of those stores, it was
something we had to do, he said.
You can go to some big cities
and not find any record stores.
Were still here with two in
Wilkes-Barre alone. Two!
Though hes optimistic about
the future of the business his
father started in the 1960s, Nar-
done is also pragmatic about the
changing face of music sales,
acknowledging that the old for-
mulas no longer work. Its tough,
but its also something he finds
exciting: Trying to stay ahead of
the curve, keeping up with trends,
figuring out what people want
most and howbest to get it in
their hands.
Its all about supply and de-
mand. There will always be peo-
ple who want to buy CDs, for
instance, but will there be enough
of them? Nardone said. One of
the big things nowis people buy-
ing vinyl records again.

M
usical Energi never had 11
satellite locations. Its
always been just one,
starting out in the Wyoming
Valley Mall before moving to
downtown Wilkes-Barre in1990.
For more than 25 years, the store
has been owned and operated by
self-professed vinyl junkie Jay
Notartomaso, During his days as
a Penn State student, Notartoma-
so would often choose LPs over
the basic creature comforts, in-
cluding food.
Over the past fewyears, the
vintage format Notartomaso
cherishes has made an exhilarat-
ing comeback. According to The
Nielsen Company &Billboards
2011Music Industry Report, sales
of vinyl LPs increased 36 percent
from 2010 to 2011, marking a
Nielsen SoundScan sales record.
No other formats growth
matched that number.
Its not just something you do
while youre doing something
else, with your headphones on
and your iPod, Notartomaso said,
explaining what makes the expe-
rience of listening to records so
unique. You sit around and look
at the album cover, open the
gatefold, read the liner notes,
touch the needle to the vinyl. Its a
whole experience.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Jeffs Bitch:
Its fashionable lately to make
the phone texters and cell-phone
users the poster child for bad
driving. I dont think were giving
senior citizens enough credit
here. Seriously, we have to wait
until a certain age for the privi-
lege to drive. Doesnt it also
make sense that at some age
people should be retested to
insure they have their full facul-
ties?
Im not trying to beat up on
anyones granny but lets face it:
Your vision and hearing arent
getting any sharper. And reflex-
es? Timing that Metamucil and a
trip down the hallway to the
bathroom becomes an issue.
I was watching an elderly man
attempt to back out of the
Schiels parking lot in Wilkes-
Barre last week, and it was like
watching a slow-motion car
crash. No cars on either side,
none behind him. After taking a
good 45 seconds to back up, he
then caromed off the cement base
of a light pole. Right fender
gone. Of course, the boat he was
driving was so large, I really
dont think he realized he just
pulled his front fender partially
off the car as he tore off into
traffic at a good 3 to 4 miles an
hour. Weve all had the joy of
almost hitting the brakes on
Interstate 81 as you come up
behind an old Caddy chugging
along at a brisk 40 mph, half in
and half out of the breakdown
lane.
How about a mandatory age
when you must be retested? And
lets throw in a few common-
sense rules:
1.) You must be able to actually
see over the windshield.
2.) Your glasses cannot be
thicker than your windshield.
3.) You have to drive fast
enough that the speedometer
needle actually moves.
Granted, texting and talking on
a cell isnt the smartest thing to
do behind the wheel, but its no
more dangerous than the crowd
rushing out for that early bird
special at the Old Country Buf-
fet.
Amandas Brag:
If youre a girl who loves try-
ing new beauty products, youve
got to get a Birchbox subscrip-
tion! Like most women, I love
trying out new nail polishes,
makeup, hair products and mois-
turizers, but I hate the price tag
that comes with an item that
youre not sure youre actually
going to like.
Birchbox is a monthly sub-
scription to beauty-product sam-
ples that allows you to try whats
new without breaking the bank.
Its easy and affordable. For a $10
monthly subscription, you fill out
your beauty profile and mark off
the specifics youre interested in,
everything from noting you pre-
fer organic products or sensitive
skin to just wanting to experi-
ment with new looks. Then, once
a month, you receive a box full
of deluxe-sized samples of new
products.
Last month, I got some awe-
some on-trend Zoya Nail Polish,
a hair tie that doesnt leave that
annoying I-had-my-hair-in-a-
ponytail bump, some new per-
fume and amazing hair-shine
serum.
I was iffy about subscribing at
first because I didnt know what
to expect. I didnt want to end up
blowing $10 a month on samples
I could just get at the mall.
Thankfully, my friend gave me a
three-month subscription for my
birthday (yes, you can do that for
the girly girl in your life, too!),
and now Im hooked. Its the best
mail youll look forward to get-
ting every month, and the most
exciting part? You never know
whats going to be inside!
Men, dont feel too left out.
The site is actually in beta testing
for mens Birchboxs, too! When
I stumble upon must-haves, fun
new products and steals and
deals, I feel like its my duty to
pass it on. I think my April
Birchbox comes this week
ooh, I cant wait! W
Bet thats not the finger the people behind him are holding up ...
Birchbox, a girly girls
new BFF.

Sapphire helps you become a pin-up girl.
Style files
By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
A
few weeks ago I was speaking
with Angie Morgan, owner
of The Sapphire Salon and
Destination Spa, about a new
feature she was launching at
her Pittston location: Apin-up style package
in which a woman can dress in this period
and have a photo session.
Bringing in photographer Robin Palmer
for this special package, a woman can feel
like a starlet for the day. Read a little more
about our conversation.
WEEKENDER: What does the pin-up
girl package include?
MORGAN: The pin-up packages include
everything from head to toe! We have
three packages available and others can be
customized based on your needs and budget.
One more popular package is Package
1, which includes a professional makeup
session, vintage hairstyling and manicure,
professional coaching, one wardrobe change
(props included), an edited disc of images
and a glass of wine or champagne with
chocolate-covered strawberries.
WEEKENDER: Are there any
restrictions?
MORGAN: (Must be) 18 years of age and
up for the woman who wants to do this for
herself or give it as a gift.
WEEKENDER: Tell us about your
photographer and how you got her on
board.
MORGAN: Robin Palmer is our
photographer, and she is amazing! Avery
passionate and humble soul, she is warm
and approachable, which makes your session
with her very comfortable and relaxing.
Robin has a background in fashion and
trends, so she has the trained eye to look at
Pin-up primping
someone and know what is attering and
what is not.
WEEKENDER: How long does a
session take?
MORGAN: The session from start
to nish, depending on the package and
wardrobe changes, can range from two to
ve hours.
WEEKENDER: Do the women
supply their own wardrobe?
MORGAN: Prior to the session, we set up
a consultation, and during the consultation,
we talk about what look would be most
attering and what outts the woman should
bring. We have outts and props available at
no extra charge as well.
WEEKENDER: How much does it
cost for a customer?
MORGAN: The packages begin at $280,
and they can be customized for any budget.
WEEKENDER: Have you shot any
pin-up girls yet?
MORGAN: We just recently shot some
local high-prole women; youll be seeing
them over the next few weeks.
WEEKENDER: Why do you think the
pin-up girl style is so popular right
now?
MORGAN: I think the popularity of
this sexy and classy style is showcased by
celebrities during red carpet events, award
shows, print work and even runway.
After Angie told me of this creative
concept, she asked if I would like to
experience it for myself and kick off the new
Weekender Pin-Up Girl of the Week series.
Me? Be a starlet for the day? Why yes, yes I
think I shall. See the adjacent page to see my
very own pin-up photo session. W

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY20)
Some of your past failed relationships
didnt work out because you ignored glar-
ing red flags or simply single-mindedly
kept your eye on the prize (i.e. the rela-
tionship you wanted), instead of observing
and working with what was actually there.
The ends do not justify the means here any
more than they do elsewhere. Your desire to
have the relationships you imagine is under-
standable, but allowing that desire to
eclipse the relationships you actually have
is a mistake. This week, refocus on how
great those connections are instead of on all
the ways theyre supposedly lacking. Youre
luckier than you think.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE 20)
You cant protect other people from their
own choices, especially when it comes to
relationships. Just look at the futile, coun-
terproductive efforts parents make when
their teenage children select unsuitable
partners. Their best intentions usually blow
up in their faces; so, unfortunately, will
yours. This is one of those times where you
kind of have to be supportive, regardless of
how you actually feel. Hopefully, theyll
figure out what you know all on their own.
In the meantime, maybe youll discover a
thing or two, too like maybe their choic-
es arent as bad as you initially thought.
CANCER(JUNE 21-JULY22)
Ive never met anyone who can make
such a big deal out of turning down a wed-
ding invitation (or the like) as a Cancer can.
Forgoing events youd rather not participate
in office lunches, parties, etc. isnt
the complicated and dramatic affair you
sometimes make it out to be. Even if the
reasons you dont want to attend are huge
and emotional inside your head, they dont
need to be part of your explanation. Cite a
busy work schedule or previous obligation,
and leave it at that. Of course, if youre just
bored and want the drama, go ahead and
hint at other reasons until it all comes out in
the open but thats on you.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Bullies take many forms; in childhood,
theyre often quite visible and obvious.
Adults, however, are more subtle. Leos can
be bullies, too, but generally you only throw
your weight around for others benefit (as
you perceive it, anyway), so its not as awful
as those who sadistically take pleasure in
others pain or discomfort. Of course, your
ability to get your way can come in handy
when it comes to taking down more malev-
olent bullies. This week, knock them down
a peg or two. And make sure you always
use your powers for good, not evil!
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Virgos are in most cases lovely, laid-back
individuals. But every one of you has a
hot-button topic or two that can transform
you from a chill companion to an irate,
snarling bulldog who will not let an issue
go once youve clenched it in your jaws.
Learning to recognize when to simply and
gracefully drop the subject is a skill you
should acquire, quickly, lest your tenacity
get you into all kinds of trouble. Your deter-
mination is a good thing; when it crosses
over into intractable stubbornness, however,
youre ultimately mostly just biting yourself
in the ass.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
When we act out of fear, we often do
precisely the things most likely to cause our
fears and anxieties to become manifest.
Partners worried about their lovers cheating
can grow so jealous, suspicious, nosy and
unpleasant to be around that the prospect of
an affair becomes increasingly tantalizing.
Acting out of your most worried impulses
will only make them much more likely to
come true, so try to resist it. Thats not to
say you should blind yourself to real, obvi-
ous evidence that things are not cool but
in the absence of such, assuming that every-
things more or less OK is probably the best
way to go.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
When the close-mindedness of others
becomes obvious and outspoken, speaking
up is generally an admirable thing to do. Its
not always prudent or wise, however. Some-
times tact provides a better outcome than
righteous valor. While defending others
from intolerance and bigotry should be a
no-brainer, simply correcting peoples
narrow-minded opinions about this issue or
that trend is more of a pick-your-battles
type thing. Often, its worth your while to
speak up and present a worldlier viewpoint;
occasionally, like this week, the smartest
and most productive thing to do is just keep
your mouth shut.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Your love of freedom, like so many
things, is both strength and weakness. Oc-
casionally, its made you prone to misin-
terpreting circumstances in such a way that
it seems like its time to move on long
before it actually is. What if that omen
wasnt an omen and causes you to exit a
situation that might have been perfect for
the long-term if you werent so trigger-
happy and ready to split at the first hint of
trouble? Stop shooting yourself in the foot
with your overzealous flight instinct or
youll never be sure when its actually time
to stop running on to the next thing and just
stick around to see what happens instead. It
might be pretty cool.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Butt out, and let people make their stupid
mistakes. You ought to know by now that
offering unsolicited advice to certain people
in your life is rarely received well, even
though itd spare the recipients so much
suffering and embarrassment if theyd just
listen to you. Its probably going to be very
hard for you to resist trying, anyway, this
week, because of how boneheaded and
shortsighted people can sometimes be.
However, since speaking up is just going to
get you snapped at and cause conflict,
biting your tongue and allowing people to
fall flat on their faces is, sadly, the only real
way to go.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
When people are deeply angry, they
sometimes irrationally lash out at whoevers
nearby which is almost never the de-
serving party. While these poor recipients
(often messengers bearing bad news) al-
most always get an apology after the fact,
that doesnt erase the sting of suffering in
the first place. Because of who you are and
how you deal with stuff, it was probably
relatively easy for you to forgive and forget
when this kind of thing happened to you.
Other people, though, are less emotionally
resilient this week, though, you may be
able to help them along a little.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH20)
There are always shit-stirrers people
who, for whatever reason(s), enjoy getting
others riled up any way they can (on online
forums theyre called trolls). The problem
is, they are generally very good at what they
do, and its extremely hard for the average
person to resist rising to the bait they set.
That, naturally, is your task this week. It
may require the patience of a set and the
restraint of a brain surgeon, but do whatever
you can to avoid engaging with the trolls in
your life; even though itll suck in the mo-
ment, overall youll be much happier for it.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL19)
People make mistakes. While the rational
part of you can of course understand and
want to forgive and forget those errors, your
emotional side may have more trouble.
When their screw-ups cause you pain,
embarrassment or suffering, you may be
filled with rage or sadness or vindictiveness
towards them. Acting on those understan-
dable feelings, however, would be some-
thing youd regret later. This is when you
pull out one of those cliches, like What
would Jesus/Buddha/Big Bird Do?, and
behave accordingly, even if you dont feel it.
Years from now, when the sting of your
feelings has faded, youll be so glad you
managed to behave like a saint. W
