Leading the Way Local governments are often ahead of the pack when it comes to LGBTequality measures even in more traditionally conservative states

I

THINK LOUISVILLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN OPENand inclusive city going back to its immigrant roots whenit welcomed immigrants in the 1800srdquo says Chris Poynterthe communications director for Louisville Mayor Greg

Fisher ldquoSo I think itrsquos just part of our DNA and wersquore sort of alsquolive and let liversquo communityrdquo

According to Poynter that attitude extends to other facetsof life in Kentuckyrsquos largest city Thatrsquos why there was so littlepushback when his boss set a goal of having Louisville achievea perfect rating on the Human Rights Campaignrsquos annualMunicipal Equality Index

In previous years the cityrsquos rating on the index had hoveredin the 60-70 range (out of 100) which wasnrsquot bad But Fisher feltthe need to push for more To achieve its goal of a perfect rat-ing his administration consulted with the Fairness CampaignKentuckyrsquos major LGBT rights group and with representativesfrom HRC to map out a plan of action

T R A X L E R G I R L

Some of the changes implemented included the appointmentof a liaison to the LGBT community within the mayorrsquos office aconcerted effort to foster relationships between the cityrsquos policeforce and the LGBT community and requiring contractors and

vendors who work with the city to have an LGBT-inclusivepolicy before the city does business with them

As a result of those changes Louisville was not only awardeda 100 percent rating from the Municipal Equality Index but wasactually profiled in the report as an example for other cities tofollow It also received designation as an ldquoAll-Starrdquo city whichis reserved for those cities that have achieved much success inthe realm of equality despite being in a state that lacks LGBT-supportive laws

ldquoWe worked very hard to get that 100 percent rating becausewe wanted to send a message to the nation and to the world thatLouisville is open welcoming inclusive and that we value allpeople hererdquo says Poynter ldquoSometimes there are stereotypes

associated with being from Kentucky But Louisvillersquos a verydifferent city Louisville welcomes LGBTQ citizens and wantsLGBTQ visitors and one of the ways to do that was to get 100on the HRCrsquos scorecardrdquo

Indeed Louisville has not been shy about embracing its roleas the liberal bastion within Kentucky particularly when itcomes to LGBT equality Following the Supreme Courtrsquos rul-ing legalizing marriage equality earlier this summer the cityrsquosConvention amp Visitors Bureau launched a nationwide campaignldquoSay I Do in Lourdquo promising to pay for the full costs of the wed-ding of one lucky LGBT couple The winning couple from FortWayne Ind was married on Sept 19 concurrent with the cityrsquosinaugural Pride Festival Several local businesses donated theirgoods and services to help carry out the wedding

While not all cities or local municipalities have gone as faras Louisville in covering the tab for a wedding most of thecountryrsquos major metropolitan areas have succeeded where statelegislatures and the federal government have failed at leastwhen it comes to LGBT equality measures Topping the list ofldquoAll-Starrdquo cities with perfect 100 scores are places that are notwidely known or perceived as being LGBT-friendly includingthe cities of Phoenix Tempe and Tucson in Arizona Missoula

Montana St Petersburg in Florida East Lansing and Detroit inMichigan Cincinnati and Columbus in Ohio

Like Louisville Columbus which boasts a large LGBTpopulation was encouraged by its former executive MayorMichael Coleman to make the city LGBT-friendly and welcom-ing says Napoleon Bell II executive director of the ColumbusCommunity Relations Commission One of the crucial buildingblocks to achieving that status was the passage of a citywidenondiscrimination law with protections for sexual orientationgender identity and gender expression which Bell is now taskedwith helping to enforce

Bell says the city has collaborated with LGBT advocates on anumber of issues to seek input on policy the police department

has a liaison to the LGBT community to help address concernsand the city provides substantial LGBT-comprehensive healthcare benefits to its employees

ldquoI think all of these things contribute to the fact that we are awelcoming city and embrace our LGBT communityrdquo Bell saysldquoPutting these things in place is a way of showing our commit-mentrdquo

Of course some municipalities are limited in what they areable to do particularly in states like Virginia where municipali-ties are bound by what is known as Dillonrsquos Rule Under DillonrsquosRule a great amount of deference is given to the state legisla-ture rather than local governments As such local municipali-ties are not allowed to pass measures such as an LGBT nondis-crimination law unless the state legislature has defined sexualorientation and gender identity as a protected class in statute

Jean Kelleher director of the Alexandria Office of HumanRights in Alexandria Va says that her cityrsquos score on theMunicipal Equality Index went down after the legalization ofmarriage equality because all cities were no longer awardedbonus points for recognizing same-sex relationships This yearthe city was awarded an 87

ldquoWithout bonus points I donrsquot think any any municipalityin Virginia can receive a perfect scorerdquo she says ldquoOur HumanRights Act is very weakrdquo

Kelleher notes that because of Dillonrsquos Rule the cityrsquos addi-tion of sexual orientation to its human rights ordinance in1988 could still be challenged in court almost thirty years

later But she also says that a ruling by the Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission (EEOC) in the case of Macy v Holderwhich found that anti-transgender discrimination constitutedsex discrimination has allowed her office to pursue anti-LGBTdiscrimination by filing charges based on gender discriminationIn doing this the office can still carry out its duties without vio-lating Dillonrsquos Rule

ldquoI think the city government I think all of us certainly tryto do what we think is the right thing but always following

the law so we are constrained by whatever the law happens toberdquo she says ldquoBut when it comes to policy or benefits for ouremployees I think we always try to do what we collectivelywould think is the right thingrdquo

Libby Garvey the Chair of the Arlington County Board inneighboring Arlington Va notes that her municipality hasalways tried to ensure that LGBT residents are treated fairlyeven offering county employees domestic partner benefits inthe 1990s only to see a state judge overturn the policy (Thatissue has since been resolved due to the legalization of marriageequality) Still Garvey says the mantra in Arlington has alwaysbeen one of tolerance

ldquoWe are a welcoming community and protect everybodyrdquo

she says ldquoWersquove been doing this for so long that itrsquos just partof the culture We have diversity in a lot of ways But I thinkwhen it comes to the culture of our community we tend to be alot more similar And wersquore small which enables that cultureto permeate pretty much everywhere in the countyrdquo

That tolerance displays itself in the variety of services andprograms made available to the countyrsquos LGBT residents thecarefully-forged working relationship between the communityand the police and even at the school level where Arlingtonhas implemented comprehensive anti-bullying and harassmentpolicies mdash the school board also recently passed pro-LGBT non-discrimination policy

ldquoWersquore always marketing Arlington as a wonderful place to

live and wersquove always marketed the fact that we are welcom-ing and diverserdquo says Garvey ldquoWe really view diversity as astrength here And we always appreciate and want talentAnybody who would come here I think would feel very wel-come and decide lsquoThis is the place Irsquod like to liversquordquo l

WE FEEL SO SORRY FOR ANTI-GAY ACTIVISTLinda Harvey The radio host and founder ofMission America a ldquonetwork of parents and others

concerned about the promotion of homosexualityrdquo couldnrsquot findanywhere to shop over the holidays as too many companies nowsupport LGBT rights Poor thing

In a post last year for right-wing website WND Harvey com-plained that there is a growing shortage of stores that supporther anti-gay world view

ldquoFor any Christian who wants to spend hard-earned dollarswith family-friendly Christian-affirming retailers restaurants

is she to shopping at businesses that donrsquot support gay rightsshersquos using the Human Rights Campaignrsquos very own CorporateEquality Index to see who hasnrsquot scored well in their implemen-tation of pro-LGBT policies

As a result Harvey was able to get all of her Christmas shop-ping done athellip emhellip Dollar Tree AutoZone Dickrsquos SportingGoods and Lowersquos among others Her poor family l

Teenage boy executed byISIS for being gay

ISIS leader who allegedly had sex with himspared death

and service providers the list is growing shorter all the timerdquoshe wrote

Harvey stopped shopping at Macyrsquos due to ldquothe retailerrsquosgrossly unjust policy against womenrdquo

ldquoMacyrsquos management said lsquoyesrsquo to a transsexual young manrsquosdemand to change in the womenrsquos dressing room and rejected aChristian employeersquos attempt to block his inappropriate accesseven firing her because of her principled actionsrdquo Harvey asserted

Except that the employee in question wasnrsquot fired for ldquoherprincipled actionsrdquo In 2011 Natalie Johnson mdash an employee at aSan Antonio Macyrsquos mdash prevented a transgender woman from usingthe womenrsquos dressing room according to the Houston ChronicleIt was in direct violation of Macyrsquos policy which states that trans-gender persons can use either dressing room Johnson refused tocomply citing her religious beliefs and was terminated

Harvey doesnrsquot just hate Macyrsquos thoughldquoThen therersquos Target Where to startrdquoSomewhere homophobic it transpiresldquoSelling lsquogay pridersquo T-shirts a few years back was bad enough

but Target is now lsquoproudly standingrsquo with homosexuals and cross-dressers who want to change Americarsquos 1964 Civil Rights Act toadd lsquosexual orientationrsquo and lsquogender identityrsquordquo Harvey said

She states that the Equality Act which would add such amend-ments should be opposed by ldquoevery thinking Constitution-loving American including every GOP presidential candidaterdquoand calls it ldquoanti-American pro-deviancerdquo legislation A numberof companies support the Equality Act which was introducedto Congress last year including Amazon Google General MillsLevi-Strauss American Airlines Apple Nike and others Strikethose off your shopping list too Linda

Harvey also took issue with ldquorecent traitorrdquo Wal-Mart Theldquoone-time reliable backer of Judeo-Christian standardsrdquo hasapparently joined the ldquodark siderdquo due to Wal-Mart joiningother companies in pressuring Arkansas and Indiana to aban-don so-called ldquoreligious freedomrdquo laws that would have legal-

ized discrimination of LGBT peopleldquoWhy would Wal-Mart side with sexual anarchists againstthe First Amendment liberties of all Americans to oppose homo-sexual behaviorrdquo Harvey questions ldquoBut their unfaithfulnessdoesnrsquot end there Wal-Mart is now a financial backer of deviantlsquogay pridersquo parades What happened to this companyrdquo

They like most of America have moved into the twenty-firstcentury Linda

Mattel is also off Lindarsquos shopping list due to an advert forMoschino Barbie that dared to show a boy playing with the infa-mous doll mdash or as Harvey puts it ldquoa wicked accommodation tothe current gender-destructive culturerdquo

And donrsquot even get her started on JC PenneyldquoDonrsquot even get me started on the many in-your-face-insults

of JC Penneyrdquo she writes (We told you) Harvey loathes thatthe clothing retailer used Ellen DeGeneres as a spokespersonand featured adverts with same-sex couples on Motherrsquos Dayand Fatherrsquos Day

She also falsely attributes JC Penneyrsquos dire straits withthe retailerrsquos support of LGBT people ldquoThe company appar-ently learned nothing from its sales decline after these miscal-culationsrdquo Harvey wrote Actually the company changed itsentire pricing and purchasing approach under then-CEO RonJohnson which drove away the bargain hunters who previouslyfilled its stores mdash a move itrsquos still trying (and failing) to recoverfrom according to Forbes

But all isnrsquot lost for Harvey and her anti-gay ilk So dedicated

ISLAMIC STATE FIGHTERS HAVE EXECUTED A15-year-old boy on charges of homosexuality after he was

found in the house of an ISIS leaderldquoThe boy was accused of being engaged in a homosexual rela-

tion with the prominent ISIS officer Abu Zaid al-Jazrawirdquo Saraial-Din a media activist told Syriarsquos ARA News Another sourcetold ARA that the boy was captured in the home of al-Jazrawi

The youth was tried in the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zorwhere he was sentenced to death by being thrown from the topof a building mdash a common method used by ISIS for those accusedof homosexuality ldquoThe horrific execution took place in front ofa large crowdrdquo an eyewitness told ARA

However while the 15-year-old was killed al-Jazrawi hasbeen allowed to live The Sharia Court in Deir ez-Zor had appar-ently demanded the death penalty for the ISIS officer but he

was instead sent to the battlefront in Iraq where ISIS have beenlosing ground to a resurgent Iraqi armyldquoAbu Zaid was forced to leave Syria and join the fighting

fronts in northwestern Iraq The decision has been taken by theISIS leadershiprdquo al-Din said

ISIS also known as ISIL IS Daesh and Islamic State havemurdered thousands of people since their brutal regime tookover parts of Syria and Iraq According to the Syrian Network forHuman Rights the death toll stands at over 2000 people in Syrialast year alone Those living under their rule are subjected to astrict interpretation of Shariah law which mandates the deathpenalty for homosexuality adultery and blasphemy amongother offences

Men are often accused of homosexuality without any sub-stantive evidence before being thrown from buildings stonedto death or a mixture of the two In April last year a man wasstoned to death by a crowd of men That same month ISISfighters embraced two men before stoning them to death as acrowd that included many young boys looked on In June threemen were dropped from the top of a 100ft high building whilethe following month two more men were dropped from a roofmdash and then stoned to death after the fall failed to kill them InOctober two more men were murdered by a large crowd thathad gathered to throw rocks at them

While Western media has been exposed to images of dozensof men being executed for homosexuality the actual number ofdeaths is unknown mdash and likely much higher l

In 1980Dody DiSanto and the late Jon Bowers got Washingtonians talk-ing about music

Thatrsquos the year they opened the doors to the 930 Cluba first-floor performance space at 930 F St NW The rock-oriented music acts that played there mdash with a start time atleast originally at 930 pm mdash often reflected the clubrsquos then-derelict downtown neighborhood Small scrappy grungy evena little dangerous As time went on many of them would becomehousehold names Nirvana REM Cyndi Lauper Beastie BoysGreen Day to name but a few

The clubrsquos prestige grew alongside its predominantly alt-rockcast of characters Eventually in 1995 it also grew in size whenSeth Hurwitz and Rich Heinecke moved the institution theyhad taken over from DiSanto and Bowers a decade prior All thisweek theyrsquore throwing a party in honor of the current locationrsquos20th anniversary at 815 V St NW an interactive commemora-tive presentation dubbed the 930 Worldrsquos Fair Theyrsquove also

just published a captivating new coffee table book relating key

moments from the institutionrsquos first 35 yearsConsistently ranked at or near the top of polls by Billboard

Rolling Stone and Pollstar the 930 Club is also the jewel in thecrown of large local promotions company IMP Productionswhich also manages The Lincoln Theatre and MerriweatherPost Pavilion Hurwitz and Heinecke launched IMP (the ini-tials stand for Itrsquos My Party) a few months before the original930 Club opened and were booking shows at the venue from

predominantly straight nightclub owners credits Hurwitz forthe institutionrsquos gay-friendly vibe mdash one that goes beyond a meredesire to bolster the coffers ldquoYeah I want to do a gay eventbecause I want to make moneyrdquo is a sentiment Bailey has oftenheard from straight owners whose plans are easily foiled by less-than-enthusiastic straight employees

ldquoWe always had the sense that the staff at the 930 Clubwhether gay or progressive or alternative were all excited forour events and proud to be a part of itrdquo

ldquoThe bands they have the toughest gigrdquo says the 57-year-old Hurwitz during an hour-long interview at the 930 ClubldquoTheyrsquore vulnerable If you think about how many bands staypopular Not very many Bands go up and down and now with-out being able to sell records they can only make money by tour-ing and thatrsquos tough and grueling and it wears down on people

ldquoBut it does make for a lot of bands touring nowrdquo he con-tinues ldquoWhich is great for me We wanted to build a place thatwould be perfect for the audience and the bands and wersquod neverneed to go anywhere else So thatrsquos why we came up with every-thing here Your dream home if you willrdquo


930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930 930

the very start Hurwitz calls Heinecke the ldquoplay callerrdquo the person who helpsdetermine who plays where based on his acumen at ticket forecasting

Hurwitz meanwhile oversees the bulk of regular operations at 930 andIMP He credits his predecessor DiSanto for engendering the 930 Clubrsquos over-all ethos and reputation as progressive and welcoming including to the LGBTcommunity Yet itrsquos clear Hurwitz is and has always been the driving forcebehind the venuersquos growth and success

ldquoSeth is tremendously straightforward and easy to work withrdquo says TownDanceboutique co-owner Ed Bailey who threw Millennium a weekly gaydance party at 930 in the late rsquo90s ldquoHe was always willing to work with usand make our events more interestingrdquo In fact it was because of Hurwitz thatBailey and his business partner John Guggenmos landed Grace Jones for oneof their Millennium parties (See page xx for more on that and other gay par-ties at 930) Bailey who in the last three decades has collaborated with other

METRO WEEKLY What drew you to music and this

business Was there an obvious moment

SETH HURWITZ Well I think probably the firstexciting moment that rock and roll momentwas when my parents let me stay up past mybedtime to watch the Beatles on Ed SullivanIt was that electricity like that feeling you getwhen you go to a concert when yoursquore youngWhen you first get out and go to a show with-out your parents mdash itrsquos that danger itrsquos thatexcitement And when the band comes onyou make that connection Thatrsquos the momentthat I just love Even now itrsquos my favorite partWhen Irsquom going to see a band at the 930 mdashwhich actually isnrsquot that often mdash I always needto get there before the band goes on I wantto be there when they go on cause I love thatrush Thatrsquos just what itrsquos all about for meMW Did you ever desire a career as a musician

HURWITZ Well I am a musician mdash I play drumsThough I donrsquot ever really feel like Irsquom a realdrummer I took lessons and I just kind oftaught myself I always felt like an imposterAnd I still do But Irsquove gotten away with it

pretty well So if I know a band wellenough Irsquoll badger them till they let meplay And thatrsquos very excitingMW Have you played here at the 930Club

HURWITZ I played here with the FooFighters and the Goo Goo Dolls andRobbie Williams mdash those were overa long period of time And repeatedlywith Thievery Corporation and TroubleFunkMW Do you play during the whole set

HURWITZ No no just one song WithTrouble Funk we do the standard ldquoPlayThat Funky Music (White Boy)rdquo I donrsquotknow how they thought of that one

I love to play I get stage fright whenI get up there so itrsquos a real dare Onceyou get yourself into it itrsquos like yoursquovegot the parachute on and the plane dooris open and yoursquove got to jump So thatexcitement mdash I guess bands go throughthat every night and it becomes more

routine to them But for me thatrsquos anoth-er thrill But thatrsquos just my own littleself-indulgence I try not to inflict it oneveryone too oftenMW Where did you grow up

HURWITZ In Potomac I went to ChurchillHigh School I should say thatrsquos the sta-tion wagon part of Potomac not thehorse country I wasnrsquot privileged I washanded nothing Except that my parentswere very patient and very supportiveI didnrsquot go to college but they couldsee that I was doing something And I

was always working I always wantedto work I worked in record stores Ioriginally wanted to be a disc jockeyI was on WHFS when I was in highschool And I thought thatrsquos what I wasgoing to doMW Did you DJ on WHFS under your

real name

HURWITZ Yeah I was Seth rsquo76 to rsquo77 Igot fired from there for getting too farahead musically from where they wereat They got stuck in this Robert Palmer Little FeatBonnie Raitt thing and Iwas on to Roxy Music and Lou Reedand things like that And then I was onWGBT the Georgetown station for along while And then I did an interviewshow and I was interviewing a pro-moter and ended up working for himHe was in a space called the OntarioTheatre at 17th and Columbia which isnow an apartment houseMW And 20 years later

HURWITZ Here we are I never thoughtit would be this popular Never everthought it would be this great Itrsquos reallya result of the love between the bands

ldquoIrsquove always admired gay people for theircourage and alternative culture

I ADMIRE ANYONE WHO CAN SAY

lsquoFUCK WHAT EVERYONE THINKS

IrsquoM GOING TO BE WHO I AMrsquordquo



and the audience and the people whowork here Itrsquos a triangle like that Thatrsquos

just what bands want mdash they want toplay somewhere real they want to playsomewhere where theyrsquore appreciatedby the venue and the fans And fanswant to see bands that appreciate themand want to go to a venue where theyrsquoretreated well And those three things real-ly need to evolve togetherMW How exactly did that manifest itself

HURWITZ I have to credit my staff Dodythe person who started the 930 Club along time ago had this incredible castof characters working for her It wasvery Fellini-esque in that she wouldhire people that maybe were not thebest bartenders but they sure were themost interesting ones Original alter-native people And she cultivated thisfamily mdash that this is a place for peoplewho donrsquot fit in anywhere else And thatreally spoke to my alternative mental-

ity When I was a kid if a band got toopopular well then that wasnrsquot good Ofcourse as a promoter we like bands toget very popular [ Laughs] But as a fanas a kid mdash thatrsquos not my band anymoreSo I would go down and see these peo-ple mdash that was part of the show whenyou went to the old 930 The weird guythe doorman with tattoos and piercingsTake a walk on the wild side Itrsquos whereour alternative culture was in DC Andwhen I bought the club from her mybiggest fear was that I wouldnrsquot be able

to carry that onSo I really stood back and just didnrsquotmess with that I made the managerspowerful and let them manage So ifsomeone needed replacing if someoneleft I would let that manager hire thereplacement and find someone alsointeresting I think thatrsquos what makesthe club what it is the people thatwork here Every now and then therersquosenough turnover I feel like I need toget everyone together and have a townmeeting And as I go around the roomI see all these beautiful people that aredifferent and unique Irsquom so proud tohave this interesting bunch of peopleworking for me mdash that theyrsquore all uniquetheyrsquore all creative theyrsquore all alterna-tive Therersquos a reason why theyrsquore hereand I think thatrsquos really the secret

The number one compliment I hearfrom bands is not about the sound or thefood mdash although they do like the cup-cakes mdash but itrsquos ldquoYour staff is so wonder-ful Your people are so nice They totallyunderstand us mdash they get it And theaudience was great What a great viberdquo I

think they really appreciate itIrsquom all about having fun and enjoying life mdash and letting every-

one else be assholes and not being one of them So if someonersquosan asshole Irsquom not going to get all fired up and get in their faceIrsquom more likely to walk away or say alright have fun with thatAnd I think my people we donrsquot escalate things Wersquore not goingto let these people get crazy Thatrsquos the Zen way to do it right

Yoursquove got to just be grounded in your own personality and notlet all these other people spin you around So maybe the bandsappreciate that and maybe that inspires themMW Are there any bands or shows you can single out as favorites

in the clubrsquos history

HURWITZ Oh I get stuck on this one all the time Irsquove had somereally great surprises When yoursquore old like me and you went toshows as a kid the real thrill is when you get to do stuff that youwent to as a kid You know I remember get-ting excited about getting Bob Dylan ticketsSo whenever I promote Bob Dylan itrsquos like Icanrsquot believe Irsquom promoting Bob Dylan DeepPurple were heroes when I was a kid so whenI got Deep Purple it was like this is too crazyIrsquove learned a lot about things A friend ofmine was booking a Dolly Parton tour Now

to me when I grew up Dolly Parton seemedlike some cheeseball hee-haw shit on TV Iwent ldquoEw my god how do I say no to thisHow do I politely get out of thisrdquo But when Istarted asking around it was like ldquoOh my godare you kidding Shersquos a fucking legendrdquo Andso we did Dolly Parton I got to meet her andshersquos incredibly wonderful I didnrsquot know whata genius she really was So that was exciting

I have to say while I promoted them I didnrsquot go to a lot ofhardcore shows All the reverence about Fugazi and all that busi-ness in the early days mdash I hadnrsquot really seen them So when theyfinally played here that was one of the best bands Irsquove ever seen

It was just pure music and energyMW How about a worst pick

HURWITZ Well when Scott Weiland did his Christmas showthat was a real head-scratcher He was a pretty odd fellow tobegin with but he comes and does Christmas songs with alounge band That was pretty out there It was as fucked up asyou thought it would be so that was pretty good I missed theCourtney Love showMW Wersquove covered the bands and the staff but the 930 Clubcrowd is also noteworthy They generally seem enthusiastic and

engaged with performers to the point that bands regularly high-light it during shows

HURWITZ I think the audience knows that we want them to feelgood And that wersquore giving the band a fair shake You know thereason I gave away tickets for the Worldrsquos Fair is because itrsquos agreat way to say ldquoCome and celebrate and reminisce This isyour club too Come in here and letrsquos all have a party Join usrdquoThat clicheacute about giving back mdash itrsquos true you have to give backItrsquos an opportunity to treat themMW And obviously fans saw it as a treat All five nights are nowsold out Talk a bit about what the Worldrsquos Fair is

HURWITZ Itrsquos going to be spectacular a walk-through time-trav-el from the beginning to where we are now And to teach peoplewhere the club came from in the old location

In my house I have almost no memorabilia I have a picture ofthe old club mdash a photograph And a print of F Street Besides thatI have a photograph of Wendyrsquos in Charles Town West Virginia

where we promoted Lollapalooza in 1994 The Wendyrsquos signsaid ldquoWelcome Lollapaloozardquo Irsquom just not one to live in thepast That would be a very easy thing to do in my business Youknow the whole Planet HollywoodHard Rock and all thatstuff So the Worldrsquos Fair is like a chance to get out all the toysand all the ticket stubs and posters and memorabilia and put itout for a week And then wersquoll put it away Except for a displaywith everyone whorsquos played here which wersquoll be debuting at theWorldrsquos FairMW The 930 Club has long drawn gay people attracted to con-certs with LGBT and LGBT-friendly performers mdash but also to

regularly occurring gay-specific dance parties Did you intention-

ally set out to engender a welcoming environment

HURWITZ Well Dody always had her gay friends and employeesaround This was new to me and I always found it fascinating

Irsquove always admired gay people for their courage and alternativeculture Irsquom a fan of alternative culture Obviously I hate right-wing assholes and anything to upset them is always excellentAnd I donrsquot think itrsquos any secret that gay people have more style

and more joie de vivre mdash more fun I donrsquot know how that hap-pened exactlyMW Well no doubt one key factor is the struggle to come out That

can be so prolonged and multi-pronged once it happens

HURWITZ Itrsquos like ldquoFuck everybody Irsquom having a good timerdquoAnd I just admire that I admire anyone who can say ldquoFuckwhat everyone thinks Irsquom going to be who I amrdquo Thatrsquos howit should be And Irsquom very thankful and I think itrsquos fascinatingmy children mdash I have three boys mdash they are so anti-anti-gayAnytime someone says something anti-gay theyrsquore tweetingldquoWhat an assholerdquo Theyrsquore straight but they just think itrsquos theequivalent to someone saying something about black people inthe rsquo60s And isnrsquot that great I canrsquot fathom myself why thisshould bother anyone It makes no sense Maybe the Bible thingmaybe because real Bible-thumping people feel like they have tospread the Gospel and the Word how itrsquos written in there mdash buteven that theyrsquore wrong about

A couple years ago before my dad died we were sitting atlunch one day and I said ldquoSo pop what do you think of thisgay marriage thingrdquo And he says ldquoWhy is it anybodyrsquos damnbusiness what someone does with someone else Why is thatanyonersquos businessrdquo Thatrsquos how it should be So I donrsquot knowIrsquove just always felt like I need to help propulgate that I promoteequality and things like that If yoursquore a responsible business per-son and a leader in the community then yoursquore supposed to pro-mote everyone loving everyone Thatrsquos just how Irsquove always feltMW Did the original 930 Club have gay dance parties

ldquoWhen Scott Weiland did hisChristmas show that was a realhead-scratcher He comes anddoes Christmas songs with

a lounge band IT WAS AS FUCKED UP

AS YOU THOUGHT

IT WOULD BErdquo



ldquoWhorsquos that drag queenrdquo

inquired a friend of Bob Mouldrsquos It was 2009 and Mould

was in the midst of Blowoff his monthly dance party at the

930 Club The queen in question Lady Gaga in town for

the National Equality March

ldquoGaga did her best Eva Peron imitation waving down at

our crowded dance floorrdquo Mould recalls And that was it

Gaga waving for a few seconds from a VIP booth immedi-

ately after Rich Morel Mouldrsquos cohort in Blowoff debuted

her brand-new single ldquoBad Romancerdquo mdash a recording of

which Gagarsquos handlers had given to him mere minutes

beforehand She didnrsquot perform and her appearance came

brief and early within the first hour of the party Which is

why most patrons didnrsquot see it or werenrsquot quite sure to

believe it even happened

The 930 Club has become known as a source of

unbelievable or at least unexpected surprises Blowoff

launched as a small simple bar night in 2003 itself

became a 930 surprise Within two years it had morphed

into a monthly mainstage dance party for the bear com-

munity put together by Morel and Mould mdash the seminal

Studio 930

From Millennium to Mixtape Grace Jones to Lady Gagathe 930 Club has long had gay appeal

HURWITZ I donrsquot know that they were labeled as such but wewould have Divine and female impersonators and those obvi-ously drew a gay crowd

The other thing about gay people as any bar owner can tellyou mdash gay people drink a lot Theyrsquore great customersMW And generally speaking we tip well and arenrsquot as rowdy ortrouble-making I suppose

HURWITZ Well we did have the ABC board come down on us forone of our events because there was nudity People were walk-ing around in buttless chaps and things like that And they werelike ldquoAlright you canrsquot keep doing this Yoursquore not licensed fornudity and these events promote nudity So if you donrsquot knock itoffrdquo I donrsquot think it was anti-gay I think if we did a wet T-shirtcontest or something like that Irsquom sure they would have comedown on us the same way

This is a little left field but I see guys look at pictures ofguys and I think theyrsquore looking at that getting really excitedlike when I look at a girl And that fascinates me because I donrsquotunderstand it I always want to understand people and knowhow theyrsquore feeling But the idea that someone would thinktherersquos something wrong with that is so inconceivable to meThatrsquos the part I donrsquot understand Why would anyone thinktherersquos something wrong with it

MW Returning to the topic of the club did you have any worry orstress when planning the move to the V Street space that it might

be too ambitious of a project

HURWITZ I didnrsquot stress I just got up every day and did it I didnrsquotreally think about it I didnrsquot have a choice I mean what else was

I going to doWhen we bought the club from Dody it was a loss-leader

It was a place where you did bands when they were little tostart doing them [elsewhere] when they got bigger Howeverwe donrsquot treat it as just a stepping stone Itrsquos an important funnow part of the whole thing Maybe even the most fun andimportant A club is something you have to have as a promoterAnd the way to win that particular war is to have the bestclub so you can start your relationship with the band earlyon before your competitors My strategy has always been tohave the best venues and to win that way So in rsquo93 we tookover Merriweather And now wersquore building this place on theWharf My goal there is to build the greatest music venue everAnd I think wersquoll do itMW The Wharf is the big development at the SouthwestWaterfront due in 2017 Do you know what your venue there is

going to be called

HURWITZ Wersquore not ready to tell everyone yet We looked foryears and years and years and years at all kinds of buildings allover the place And then I met Monty Hoffman the developerthere whorsquos a great guy and a real guy and a guy with visionwho has his priorities straight A really good person mdash this isimportant to me I want to deal with good people I canrsquot deal

with assholes I mean I have to in my business and I have tobook shows with them But as far as being a partner or having arelationship mdash Irsquom just not going to have a relationship with badpeople or dishonest people Hey time may prove that hersquos gotme totally hoodwinked but at least for now I think Monty is a



punk rock singer and guitarist turned DJ The partyrsquos run-

away success at 930 motivated the pair to take it on the

road ldquoThe 930 Club was the best venue in the world for

what we were doingrdquo Mould says ldquoLarge projections DJ

setup on the dance floor banners hanging from the balcony

ndash- and we emulated that production setup in many other

concert halls around North AmericardquoldquoThe 930 Club remains my favorite club to play in the

countryrdquo Morel adds citing Hurwitz and his staff for ldquobeing

so receptive to what we were doing and to our crowdrdquo

The 930 Club has long appealed to the gay commu-

nity simply through routine booking of performers with gay

appeal or cachet from Henry Rollins to Book of Love to

Ani DiFranco And anyone whorsquos caught a show by Nona

Hendrix Tegan and Sara Years and Years Erasure or the

Scissor Sisters knows that openly LGBT artists often draw a

gay crowd to match

Since its move to 815 V Street twenty years ago 930

has regularly opened its doors to promoters of gay late-night

dance parties including the annual spring circuit event Cherry

and Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend which frequently closesout its large leather festival with a dance party at the club

including next Sunday Jan 17 where house DJ Ultra Nate

will turn it out ldquoWe know how fortunate we are to have

930 Club with its crew and its soundrdquo the partyrsquos organizer

Danny Linden says ldquoItrsquos a national monument that none of

us take for grantedrdquo

A week before Mould and Morelrsquos Blowoff party ended its

11-year-run at 930 in 2014 Matt Bailer and Shea Van Hornrsquos

Mixtape debuted in the space The roaming ldquostraight-friendlyrdquo

DJ party has now touched down at 930 seven times and will

celebrate its 8th anniversary there next September

But at least for Van Horn the first time will always be

the best On that very night Jan 11 2014 during a break in

the dressing room that the club had furnished with its usual

rock star accoutrements mdash the famous 930 Club cupcakes

beer pita and hummus mdash Van Hornrsquos now-husband pro-

posed to him Bailer was the first person Van Horn told just

before going on for his next set ldquoIt was fun looking out in

the crowd and watching Andy slowly tell peoplerdquo Van Hornsays ldquoThey would stop and look and point It was sweet

And I was just so giddyrdquo

But Town Danceboutiquersquos Ed Bailey was the first to take

the concept of having a gay dance party in the new 930

Club mdash and he ran with it Working with John Guggenmos

his longtime business partner Bailey would set up the

Millennium party as quickly as possible mdash generally right after

a concert earlier that evening mdash every Saturday night for two

years Although there were other highlights in his stint there

from his first full-scale Madonnarama party timed to coincide

with the divarsquos blockbuster album Ray of Light to DJrsquoing

a party with Fred Schneider of the B-52s it was the Grace

Jones experience that really takes the cake Or make that the

Cristal ldquoShe wouldnrsquot go on until she had a bottle of CristalrdquoBailey says Problem was the 930 Club didnrsquot have any of

the champagne So Jones scheduled to perform as part of

a disco-themed party tied to release of the Miramax film 54

waited in her dressing room while Guggenmos located a

bottle Even then nearly two hours later than the scheduled

midnight performance Jones wasnrsquot quite ready performing

her first number from her dressing room

Getting Jones to perform was a minor coup in itself which

Bailey says is all credit to Hurwitz and the 930 Club Was the

extra effort to get her to perform worth it ldquoHer show was

Gentlemanrsquos TouchBroadway composer Steven Lutvakrsquos life is taking flight along with his career

WHEN I WAS REALLY LITTLE I WANTED TO DANCErdquo STEVEN LUTVAK RECALLS ldquoSO MYparents who are rather sophisticated New Yorkers took me to the lsquoshoe manrsquo as we called himrdquo

But the ldquoshoe manrdquo in Queens wanted no part in fitting the boy ldquoHe pulled my parents aside andsaid lsquoYou know what your son will become if you let him dance A butterflyrsquo Itrsquos like out of a bad sitcomrdquo Lutvaklaughs The scenario prompted his parents to give him piano lessons instead And yes they soon thought betterand tried to dissuade him from that too

Fortunately Lutvakrsquos passion for show tunes and musical theater couldnrsquot be suppressed Also fortunately hisparents have fully come around They were with him on the opening night of his musical A Gentlemanrsquos Guide to Love amp Murder And they were with him and his husband again in 2014 when his Broadway debut as a composerand co-lyricist with Robert L Freedman won the Tony Award for Best Musical

The success hersquos had with the show has spawned new projects including two stage works for Disney andNBCUniversal that ldquoIrsquom contractually not allowed to talk aboutrdquo he says while noting that theyrsquore both ldquoadap-tations of well-known propertiesrdquo Lutvak is also working with Oscar-winning screenwriter and stage scribeAlexander Dinelaris Jr ( Birdman Broadwayrsquos On Your Feet ) to adapt Javier Fuentes-Leonrsquos 2009 Peruvian filmUndertow which Lutvak describes as ldquoa gay ghost love storyrdquo

But Gentlemanrsquos Guide has also prompted some big life changes including a new larger apartment in Manhattanfrom which he and his husband soon anticipate starting a family aided by a surrogate ldquoIrsquom feeling remarkablydomestic mdash says the man who decided to write a musical about a man who kills everyone in his familyrdquo

Gentlemanrsquos Guide is principally about a British man who plots to kill his way to an inheritance ldquoItrsquos the storyof an outsider pretending to be an insiderrdquo Lutvak says ldquoSo in a certain way this is a story of a gay outsider suc-ceeding mdash and receiving his ultimate revenge Although itrsquos a comedy so itrsquos told very frothilyrdquo

The show is currently on a national tour that includes a run this month at the Kennedy Center Lutvak whois a trained singer will also offer one free night of cabaret on the Millennium Stage in the complex Meaning thatthose who take in the cabaret and the show on Tuesday Jan 26 will get as he sums it up ldquoan hour of Lutvak andthen two-and-a-half hours of Lutvak and Freedmanrdquo mdash Doug Rule

A Gentlemanrsquos Guide to Love amp Murder opens in previews Wednesday Jan 13 at 730 pm and runs to Jan

30 at the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater Tickets are $64 to $229 Steven Lutvak also performs a free cabaretTuesday Jan 26 at 6 pm on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage Call 202-467-4600 or visit kennedy-centerorg

Terms of EndearmentExquisite masterful and thoughtful

Carol is a pinnacle achievement for director Todd Haynes

C AROL THE SIXTH FEATURE FROM TODDHaynes has the feel of a career pinnacle asthough every other film in his canon mdash and hersquosdirected some masterful though at times idiosyn-

cratic films mdash was building to this masterpiece Based on thenovel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith the movie is the

lesbian equivalent of Ang Leersquos Brokeback Mountain But Carol ( HHHHH ) is arguably more emotionally satisfying than Leersquosfilm in part because of the way Highsmith herself a closeted les-bian (the author penned the novel under a pseudonym) craftedthe story of a young shopgirl who falls in love with an olderwoman and embarks on a journey of self-discovery

Published in 1952 The Price of Salt has long been regard-ed as a key lesbian novel in part because at the time itshappy(ish) ending was a rarity in the world of gay and lesbianliterature Gay characters in fiction when they were presentat all didnrsquot embrace their sexuality in the rsquo50s They fledfrom it they hid leading presumably lonely desolate livesThey committed suicide or as with Highsmithrsquos Strangers on

a Train and The Talented Mr Ripley were seen as psychopaths

and sociopaths The Price of Salt tipped that notion on its sideit was obviously a wish-fulfillment for Highsmith who bymost biographical accounts was a bitter unhappy person (her

misogyny and anti-Semitism are well-known) possibly due toa lack of romantic fulfillment

Working from a screen adaptation by Phyllis Nagy Haynesremains faithful to the bookrsquos narrative as well as to the aesthet-ics of the period The result is something exquisite out of timeelegant and otherworldly Carol doesnrsquot feel like a contemporaryfilm representing a time period but rather a genuine throwbackto the movies of the rsquo50s Despite the lack of a suspense-drivennarrative it effortlessly evokes the spirit of Alfred HitchcockCarol could be a distant cousin to Vertigo

This isnrsquot Haynesrsquos first time to the period-drama well In2002rsquos Far From Heaven he paid homage to the technicolor-saturated melodramatics of Douglas Sirk crafting a movie that

somehow miraculously resonated on a primal emotional levelWhile Far From Heaven cleaved to Sirkrsquos garish approach itdealt with topics that in its own time-period were taboo Carol

is similar but Haynes takes a more refined deliberate approachevoking the rsquo50s in a way that is both transporting and tran-scendent a finely-tuned straddle of clinging warmth and frigidchill And unlike so many films these days Carol takes its timewith Haynes resolutely refusing to hurry things along Some inthe audience might find the approach dull Itrsquos not Itrsquos captivat-ing absorbing all-encompassing Itrsquos the way movies used to bemade an instant-born classic

While the storyline has its twists and turns it remains at itscore fairly straightforward Socialite Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett)is waited on by department store clerk Therese Belivet (RooneyT

Mara) and the immediate connection between the pair virtuallylunges off the screen Itrsquos not a fully defined relationship at first mdashrather itrsquos a slow gradual courtship for Carol and a splash-of-cold-water awakening for Therese Haynes is smart not to rush into thesex mdash emotions are conveyed by a hand gently rested on a shoulderor a glance that lingers for longer than it ought to so that when thewomen finally do make love the moment hits with the force of aromantic squall The intimacy of their lovemaking is so authenticso deeply felt so impassioned it feels as though wersquore prying into aprivate moment and should be averting our eyes

For a movie that takes its time to get where itrsquos going thereare a lot of moving parts including several bursts of uncomfort-able drama between Carol and her estranged confused husbandHarge (Kyle Chandler) ldquo How do you know my wiferdquo he criesout to the wide-eyed Therese and you can see the deep painshredding through him Harge knows whatrsquos happening hereand is powerless to stop it

Haynes himself is gay and his sexuality has often informedhis work both in early films like the epic Velvet Goldmine theshockingly near-pornographic Poison and in Far From Heavenwhere homosexuality is treated as a shameful malady somethingunseemly unspeakable and in need of curing Carol mainlyapproaches same-sex attraction from an intensely romantic view-

point but it also veers into the attitudes of the decade as Hargefights his wife for custody of their daughter eventually resortingto emotional blackmail in a dinner scene with his controlling par-ents that despite its understatedness is one of the moviersquos mostshattering sequences There is much talk from Carolrsquos divorceattorney about a ldquomorality clauserdquo and when Carol repeats thewords Blanchett allows them to spill forth as though horribleheavy bricks were tumbling from her lips When Carol finally

take a stand it is to be honest an improbable fantasy momentbut itrsquos immensely gratifying nonetheless carrying with it a tri-umphant message that is even more relevant today

Praise should be lavished on Haynes for his sense of stylehis use of color (reds in particular) his deployment of CarterBurwellrsquos lilting lovely music-box score but the film would belost without Blanchett and Mara who give the kinds of perfor-mances that Oscars are made for The chemistry between themis uncanny Blanchett starts out seeming chilly almost mildlypredatory Yet itrsquos merely guardedness As Blanchett slowly peelsaway Carolrsquos layers we get a first-hand look at the vulnerabilityand softness that informs who she truly is The story finds evenmore resonance in following Mararsquos Therese as she evolves fromwide-eyed and innocent to self-assured Therersquos a gentle awk-ward hesitancy to Therese and Mara with her wide eyes evokesit beautifully Shersquos a magnificent actress fully capable with justa whisper of ldquoI miss yourdquo into a phone of breaking your heart

The cast orbiting these two stars is similarly perfect includingChandler John Magaro Kevin Crawley Corey Michael Smithand especially Sarah Paulson gratefully out of her American

Horror Story confines as a take-no-prisoners former lover ofCarolrsquos

It seems almost diminishing to relegate Carol as merely an

LGBT movie and yet it deserves an immediate spot at the topof the genrersquos canon Itrsquos a thoughtful exquisite film one thatcelebrates the impact of slow-burn cinema as much as it does thepower of finding your heartrsquos desire l

8 Eclectic FilmsWinter got you chilled Cozy up

in front of the TV with these

offbeat selections

AS THE NIGHTS DRAW IN WITH THEIRhowling winds freezing rains and bitter tempera-tures outdoor adventures soon become a bone-chilling prospect Thus arrives the season to turn

on the lamps turn up the radiators and tune in to some uninter-rupted nocturnal viewing This winter as you settle into the set-tee consider taking it outside the box with a foray into the worldof eclectic film More accessible than arthouse bigger on thebudget than your average Indie these are the improbable gems

that have somehow defied the formulae and pale imaginings ofHollywood and yet remain accessible and highly entertainingThough anything but an exhaustive list what follows is a

smattering of titles all of which are available at Amazoncomeither for purchase or via streaming that deserve a couple ofdistraction-free hours not to mention an open mind

THE LAST WAVE (1977) mdash Arguably his most enthralling filmthis supernatural mystery from Peter Weir seamlessly blendsauthentic Aboriginal myth and belief with Weirrsquos languidlybeautiful visions of the otherworldly When an unassuming taxattorney (Richard Chamberlain at his most elegant and under-stated) finds himself defending a group of Aboriginal men froma murder charge he discovers there is more to the death than

a barroom brawl As his investigation deepens the certaintiesand assumptions of his modern urban life begin to waver asancient forces take hold The darkly wonderful film transcendsthe genre as a unique contemplation on the ephemeral nature ofour realities

KUNG FU HUSTLE (2004) mdash A semi-satirical take on martial artsmovies Stephen Chowrsquos film is anything but your typical KungFu film Polished seriously funny and magically sweet at heart

Hustle is still packed with enough intense and creative fightingto please an aficionado The grumpy and listless Sing (played bythe super-fit Chow) thinks his troubles will be solved by becom-ing a member of the ruthless and deadly Axe Gang When Singthoughtlessly brings a downtrodden local neighborhood intoconflict with the gang he finds there is more to the neighbor-hood mdash and himself mdash than he realized Chow has the skill-set ofa Hollywood director but the sensibility of an irreverent spirit NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957) mdash Also known as Curse of the Demon

this vintage horror flick from director Jacques Tourneur istouted as one of the first of its genre to emphasize atmosphere asmuch as action Set in an old-fashioned England of ivy-coveredhouses and night mists a visiting American professor (DanaAndrews) is drawn into a dead colleaguersquos investigation of amysterious cult Though the Demon in question will be amusingto the CGI generation (and was added later against the wishes ofTourneur) the film as a whole unfolds with the supreme cozi-ness of a spooky fireside story

EUROPA REPORT (2013) mdash Donrsquot expect Hollywood heroics but ifyou strap in for this off-beat space film yoursquoll be rewarded witha uniquely absorbing experience Beautifully choreographedSebastiaacuten Corderorsquos subtle but increasingly intense piecing

FELLINIrsquoS CASANOVA (1978) mdash This sensuous dream-like take onthe life and times of the 18th century womanizer is by turns sillywistful and remarkably magical As the conquests arrive likebonbons from an ornate box of confections Casanova (DonaldSutherland extraordinary in prosthetic nose) delights in theirunique flavors Full of boisterous (if simulated and essentiallyclothed) sex this is thoroughly grown-up stuff But like muchof Fellinirsquos work it is also ripe with a childlike imaginationFireworks light a Venetian lagoon as an enormous decorativehead rises from the dark waters later Casanova escapes a cuck-olded nobleman over a sea made of floating silks For anotherless-touted (and similarly narrative-driven) Fellini film try theabsorbing Nights of Cabiria

THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH (1994) mdash A small and sweetly mysteri-ous film from John Sayles this tale of coastal living and mythunfolds with a tone that is both pensive and slightly sinister(though fine for most children) Capturing the gorgeous moodsof the sea and the people who live near it this piece delicatelytouches upon the ties that bind in all their innocence andambivalence

THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (1967) mdash Though Roman Polanskiisnrsquot known for comedy hersquos terribly good at it A hilarious vam-pire film rich in East European sensibility and Jewish humorthis oft-overlooked entertainment is a perfect diversion forgrownups Remarkable is Polanski himself who carries muchof the film barely uttering a word Perfect viewing for a snowynight over a bottle of Schnapps

BlissfullyOut of TouchOn her 10th album French

treasure Mylegravene Farmer conjures yetmore romantic disbelief and dreaminess

M YLEgraveNE FARMER MAY NOT BE A HOUSE-hold name outside her native France but shehas sold over 30 million albums in a careerspanning four decades Famously reluctant

to do interviews letting her provocative and often daring musicvideos do the talking instead Farmer recently surprised long-term fans by appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon

to promote her 10th studio album Interstellaires ( )The reclusive French chanteuse has previously worked withlsquo90s techno maestro Moby and Red One both on 2010rsquos won-derful Bleu Noir ensuring that her fiercely loyal fan base canusually expect the unexpected And yet despite being producedby Martin ldquoCherry Cherry Boom Boomrdquo Kierszenbaum (LadyGaga Alexandre Burke Robyn) and a deep-house DJ namedThe Avener the album is a relatively predictable set of familiar-sounding soft ballads

A hazy rubble of tremoring guitars and drums creates a shim-mering opening on ldquoInterstellairesrdquo Farmerrsquos expressive voicelike a bridge of sighs and coos at once creates the kind of volup-tuous and ethereal melody she has built her entire career on As aresult of retaining her rich tapestry of sound its swirling distressis oddly comforting

Kicking into gear on a dancefloor-aimed chorus ldquoStolen Carrdquo

music

by GORDON ASHENHURST




is the albumrsquos most immediately memorable song The headychorus fuses together her signature sensuality with bruising rocksounds The news of a duet with Sting may have alarmed manybut perhaps it was his oversupply of confidence that resulted inher performance of the albumrsquos lead single on American televi-sion mdash a first in her career

The sullen electronica of ldquoAgrave reboursrdquo revisits the rich resultsof her Moby-produced Bleu Noir album With a tinkly pianoframing her famously understated crooning here the ldquoless ismorerdquo approach is what allows its beauty to emerge to maxi-mum effect Farmer shows herself back in the groove on thesurprisingly funky ldquoCrsquoest pas moirdquo its transcendent chorus arush of romance and seasoned flair Sounding sexy yet dazedon an album where such propulsive moments are few and farbetween the slinky bassline threatens to give Chaka KhanrsquosldquoAinrsquot Nobodyrdquo a run for its money

Full of cloudy vocals and lingering atmosphericsldquoInsondablesrdquo is haunting in feeling and lush in sensation ldquoLoveSongrdquo a steady storm of romantic anxiety gets more sweep-ing and immersive as the song progresses matched in slightlycalmer results such as the equally compelling ldquoAgrave reboursrdquo Thethrobbing electronica of ldquoPas drsquoaccessrdquo opts for subtly menacingdance beats Her voice swooping down in such a setting makes

it one of the more instantly compelling compositions on handFor those who find Farmer on the mushy and gloopy side

ldquoI Want You to Want Merdquo will have them in hives Perhaps forthose not familiar with the Cheap Trick original it will functionas a quietly stirring introduction Rarely concerned with pander-ing to an audience the choice of cover material remains bafflinghowever much it retains her distinctively airy aesthetic

With atypically perky verses ldquoVoie lacteacuteerdquo is the closest a

Mylegravene song will probably get to being described as buoyantDisplaying all her usual characterizations to grand effect on arippling chorus her trademark understated drama predictablywashes over

The ghostly air of ldquoCity of Loverdquo flows like a shower of fallingleaves Her knack for conjuring otherworldly striking beautyout of the softest of arrangements is especially lovely Withexalting vocal layers the songrsquos lavish march harnesses herexpressive gasp-like vocals to dreamy effect Chosen as a singleits video depicts the singer as an inquisitive goblin in a stormlitempty mansion sealing the songrsquos fate as a future classic

If there are extreme highs there are also mild slumps Theeven more delicate and shrill than usual ldquoUn jour ou lrsquoaurerdquo is asong that could define the entire album In terms of finding herown vision and sticking to it by now Farmer knows how to pres-ent her songs to an ever refined degree but it is to the expense ofsounding distinct from previous works

As a whole Interstellaires is a soft and soothing stream ofromantic melancholy even if the singerrsquos ambition to cover newground seems to have run dry The songs mostly do not instantlydistinguish themselves from the last but nevertheless committo her dependably lush and celebrated standards If lacking any-thing as world-conquering as her biggest hit ldquoDeacutesenchanteacuteerdquo

her devastatingly understated approach is as meditative andassured as ever but overall the album lacks anything attention-grabbing enough to warrant special attention away from herbest work The album has already topped the French charts(her twelfth to do so) and although it is unlikely to make muchimpact in the US it nonetheless deserves to find an audienceif only to inspire deeper investigation into a back catalogue thatboasts far better albums than merely a ldquovery goodrdquo one l
