When Graham Lindseyanswers the phone he’s inrural Wisconsin, standingoutside of the 1984 Shastacamper that is the closestthing he and his wife haveto a permanent address.

Their last one was inAnaconda, a Montanatown built up around whatwas once the largestcopper smelting operationin the world. What’s left ofthe smelter is the 585-footstack and a toxic wastesite that covers 300 squaremiles.

His music career beganbefore he needed to shave.At 12, he was a memberof a punk rock noveltyoutfit called Old Skull.At 19, he was holed upin a Nebraska farmhouse,penning songs that mighthave floated down fromthe Appalachian foothills.Then it was New York, acabin in Wisconsin, Mon-tana, five years without atour.

“I just needed to takea break and refocus andrecalibrate things andfigure out what I really

wanted from all of this,”he said.

Those songs from theNebraska farmhousebecame the album“Famous Anonymous Wil-derness,” released in 2003.Had it come out in 1962,when the folk revival wasstill in full swing, Lindseymight have ended up a bitmore famous.

The album was a collec-tion of waltz-time laments,strange folk stomps andpoetic self-interrogationswith a murder ballad forgood measure, music thathad mined the rich, weirdvein of Harry Smith’sAnthology of AmericanFolk Music.

“The older music hassomething and it’sretained somethingthroughout decades anddecades that I personallycan’t find with pop music,”he said.

“The biggest thing offthe bat would be theunpretentiousness of it,”he said, the absence ofego.

He calls ego “a horribledangerous thing.”

That fits with a certainidea of what folk music issupposed to be, music withno authors, only avatars,but Lindsey was sayingsomething else, that sing-ers should be “servants tothe song versus personali-ties and celebrities.”

“I don’t want to step inthat puddle at all.”

Across his two lateralbums and a remarkableEP called “The Mine,”Lindsey tells stories ofdesperation and anger andredemption with a lyricalacuity that few of his con-temporaries can match.

The writing, he said,“is having the time to beable to listen to yourselfinstead of being inundatedby everybody and every-thing else that may begoing on around you.”

His last two releaseswere written in the Mon-tana mountains “wherethere was very, very littlegoing on except a lot ofsnow and chopping wood.I’d be in town every day,working jobs and I wouldgather and collect thematerial there and hike itback home.”

But he’s back onthe road now. The camperhelps.

“I can make coffee inmy car now,” he said,“which is definitely abright spot.”

THE LIST»Rock on the Range

lineup includes Art of Dying,A Perfect Circle,

P.O.D, Hinderand much more.

When Canada’s Art ofDying released theirmajor-label debut, 2011’s“Vices and Virtues,” itwas a no-brainer it wouldbe something special.

Howard Benson (PapaRoach, P.O.D., Daughtry)and Disturbed guitaristDan Donegan producedthe album, and the releaseis packed with appropri-ately heavy yet melodicsongs. Lead single “DieTrying,” which is No. 8 onthe rock chart, works asnakelike melody throughdrill-press riffs, retaininga keen sense of melody.

The band plays Rockon the Range music fes-tival this weekend inColumbus, Ohio, andNOISE caught up withfrontman Jonny Hether-ington.

NOISE: What were theearly years in Art ofDying like?

Hetherington: It was alot of hard work becausewe didn’t have anyonehelping us, so we weretrying to figure out how todo everything on our own,and without money, that’s

hard. It turned out thebe an awesome learningexperience, because nowwe know the ins and outsof tours and how to beg,borrow and steal to makethose things happen.

NOISE: You’re playingRock on the Range inColumbus this year. Whoare you most excited tosee?

Hetherington: Actually,of all the bands that welook up to, Maynard andBilly (Howerdel of A Per-fect Circle) — that wholeband really influenced usa lot in our early years.When the first A PerfectCircle came out, it wasreally an amazing mixof Maynard’s vocals andguitar stuff that wasincredible, and I person-ally love that band, so it’sgoing to be huge to be withthem.

MICHAELA ANNEIn show business, Michaela Anne existswithout a last name. Back in her almost-hometown of East Lansing, however,some surnames are important.She’s a Neller on one side, a Ruhala onthe other. She has family roots in realestate, social work, dance and submarine-captaining. And now she’s a singer.That brings her to her home town — orone of them.Her dad was a Navy officer who retiredas a captain. That meant moving often —Italy, Washington and more.”I only livedin East Lansing for one year, (but) it still isone of my very favorite years.”

TIA IMANI HANNA PROJECTFor Tia Imani Hanna, categories don’tcome easily.She studied classical violin at MichiganState University, with I-Fu Wang andothers, but has a jazzy sound. She’s aninstrumentalist — but the voice is one ofher instruments.“Seeing her play is fascinating,” said BenHall, who scheduled her for Stage West.And she can show up in any combination.On Saturday, it’s the Tia Imani HannaProject, with percussionist Carolyn Koebeland guitarist/pianist Sven Anderson. OnSunday, she joins Hot Club of Lansing.

On oneovercrowdedMay weekendeach year,East Lansing

packs a little of everything.There are artists and musicians. There

are food booths and kid shows and end-less distractions.

At the core of the East Lansing ArtFesival are those artists. There will be201 this weekend — sifted by jurors fromalmost 500 entries — plus seven in the“emerging artist” category. “There are alot of new people coming in,” said CorinnVanWyck, the festival director.

There’s more art nearby — across thestreet (the unjuried Michigan State Uni-versity show) and on the street (chalkart). And that’s just part of the weekend.

“The music part is almost a festivalwithin a festival,” said Wanda Degen, theMain Stage coordinator.

If you stripped away everything else,this would be astrong musicfestival. It hasa couple ofnational acts(Vienna Teng,The SpringS t a n d a r d s ) ,many local andregional favor-ites (RootDoctor, MadcatRuth, RachaelDavis, Seth &May, more) anda lot of newcom-ers.

Of course, there’s no reason to stripany of that away. All of the festival piecesfit together.

“One of the great things is you get towander around,” Teng said.

After performing at the festival twoyears ago, she promptly walked aroundwith her colleagues. “Thefirst thing I did was getsome corn cakes … all ofus bought some amazingart.”

Teng bought photogra-phy featuring the stunningimages of mannequinsfrom a deserted Detroitstore; there was more odd-ness ahead. “I remember there was a‘zombie run’ that day. We ended up seeingit when we were at an ice cream parlor.”

The art-festival experience turns outto be varied. “Growing up in East Lan-sing, I remember Crazy Richard (thestreet juggler) especially,” said DanaBustamante.

She also remembers savoring the vastvariety of art work: “It never reallyentered my mind that, ‘Hey, I’m going tobe in the show some day.’ ”

Many things intervened for her,including college (Wooster), jobs (includ-ing waiting at India Palace) and a changeat the festival (adding the “emergingartist” category).

This year, that includes Bustamante,with her ink drawings and possibly somewatercolors. And Satpreet Kahlon, arecent MSU grad who turns a traditionalstyle into an art form; “it’s like the old-style photography, with the curtain in theback of the camera,” she said.

Degen has memoriesthat are cheery — swap-ping hitchhiking storieswith Thompson, backingBill Kirchen onstage —and otherwise: Once, apasser-by mistook a jug-gling act and called thefire department.

She continues to booksome national acts. Tengdid the David Lettermanshow, harmonica whizPeter “Madcat” Ruthtoured with Dave Bru-beck, The Spring Stan-dards are catching on inNew York.

Other things change.“There are no more jug-glers,” Degen said.

Speaking at a TEDconference is on AndreaKing Collier’s bucket list.

The 54-year-old Lan-sing resident will be ableto check that item offFriday.

Collier joins nine otherspeakers Friday at thesecond TEDxLansingevent. The speakers haveabout 15 minutes eachto inform and inspire anaudience about an areaof their expertise at thePasant Theatre in theWharton Center in EastLansing. Several hundredlocal movers and shakerswill attend to listen topresentations andnetwork.

“I just love the ideaof people sharing on thatscale what they know,”Collier said. “For me it’slike this is the warmupact.”

Collier calls TEDxLan-sing her warmup actbecause she’s still shoot-ing for a spot at the mainTED conference some-day.

TED — Technology,

Entertainment andDesign — began as aconference to bring lead-ers from those threeindustries together withthe tagline “Ideas worthspreading.” Since 1984, ithas grown into a nonprofitwith a global mission.Past speakers include BillGates, Al Gore and JamieOliver.

TEDx events are inde-pendently organized fromthe TED conference, butfollow the same guide-lines. More than 500 com-munities in more than 70countries have hosted aTEDx event.

Presentations atTEDxLansing will rangefrom lessons learnedfrom an 80-year-old musi-cian to how Tom Izzo’sidioms translate off thecourt. Local musiciansJen Sygit, Tia ImaniHanna and Rose Cooperwill also perform duringthe event. Collier said shewill challenge the com-munity to get creative tosolve its problems.

“Lately I’ve been talk-ing a lot about big heavyissues, but my passionis creativity,” she said.“(My talk) is invitingpeople to be creativeagain.

“Michigan and Lansinghave challenges, but foranybody who thinks theywant to tackle them, we

need creativity. Some-times creativity is a badword in the Midwest (but)I think everyone has alittle artist inside them.”

In 2010, Lansing washost to the second TEDxevent in Michigan. Sincethen, TEDx events havebeen held in Detroit,Flint, Grand Rapids andAnn Arbor. About 500people attended the firstLansing event.

‘ThePsychopathTest’BY JON RONSON(RIVERHEAD)

This absolutely fascinatingbook is another hit for JonRonson, a journalist who hasmade his career nosing intothe strange outskirts of soci-ety in the international best-sellers “Them: Adventureswith Extremists” and “TheMen Who Stare At Goats,”the basis for the GeorgeClooney film adaptation.

Beginning with a strangequest to determine the originsof a mysterious book that hadbeen sent anonymously to anumber of the most brilliantpeople in the world, Ronson’sexplorations lead him deepwithin the equally mysteriousfield of psychological diagno-ses, particularly the diagnosesof psychopaths.

Ranging from individualcases of psychopathy to rev-elations regarding the shock-ing increase in the numberof psychopaths in positions ofpower (think CEOs, politicians,etc.) vs. the normal popula-tion, Ronson’s exploration isas gripping as any novel I’veread this year.

XIAO is an American-ized-Chinese lounge thatseems a lot like anotherAmericanized-Chinese res-taurant chain — but better.

The restaurant recentlyopened near the FrandorShopping Center and has afull bar (happy hour from4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Mon-day-Thursday). The loungeis classy enough to be agood date spot but isn’t tooupscale that you’ll feel outof place wearing a T-shirtand jeans.

The sceneIt’s hard not to notice

the giant Buddha statuechillin’ in the back of therestaurant, surrounded bysix pillars with variouswords in English and Chi-nese — but it wasn’t untilwe were seated and lookedup did we notice it.

The foodThe food goes beyond

the typical Chinese fare,with almost all including

vegetables alongside themeat portion.

A short list of lunchcombinations — servedfrom 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.Monday-Friday — includea smaller portion of theentree, with fried rice andsalad on the side.

Looking for somethinglighter to start off with,we ordered the summerrolls as an appetizer ($6)— shrimp, salad greens andsweet basil wrapped in ricepaper wrappers. The rolls— two pieces — didn’t havetoo much flavor exceptfor a strong minty taste,but the crushed peanutsin plum sauce certainly

helped, a little thick but nottoo sweet.

Laura and I each wentwith a lunch combo, Lauraordered the orange chickenand I chose the peppersteak (both $8).

The food came served ina big beautiful bowl, a gen-erous portion of fried ricewith our chicken and beef.

The pepper steak wasnothing short of phenome-nal — not heavy on saucenor salty, a big complaintof mine usually. It also hadbig chunks of onion andgreen pepper.

Laura’s orange chickenincluded actual mandarinoranges and broccoli, in a

spicy yet tangy sauce.I’ve frequented many

area restaurants aroundlunchtime and this washands down the fastestwe’ve been out the door (40minutes).

Our service was promptbut our server was atten-tive, knowing just whento come back to refill ourwaters.

‘Rituals’COLD REDRELEASING

(99 minutes, Rated R)A variation on the “Deliv-

erance” premise of civilizedmen venturing into the wil-derness and encounteringmore than they bargainedfor, “Rituals” is that rarest ofcult thrillers that bothered tosecure a talented cast, sturdyscreenplay and engaging cin-ematography, and the resultis a taut, suspenseful filmthat transcends its meagerbudget and stands as a supe-rior entry in rural horror.

Featuring a sterling castincluding the inimitable HalHolbrook, “Rituals” hasbeen notoriously difficult tosee uncut, turning up as“The Creeper” on editedVHS. Code Red does genrefans everywhere a prover-bial solid with their excel-lent DVD release. Don’texpect a visually flawlesstransfer, but the film looksgreat overall and theincluded commentary andinterviews are a fine bonus.

If there is any justice,a new generation will dis-cover this small, potent filmand Code Red will have abona fide hit on their hands.

Tyler theCreatorGOBLIN

(XL Recordings)Easily the most hyped

and polarizing hip hop col-lective of the past year, OddFuture Wolf Gang Kill ThemAll (ODWGKTA) and its mas-sive crew of MCs and pro-ducers have released a pileof digital mixtapes and soloalbums through their web-site but little in the way ofphysical LPs.

That changes withhoncho Tyler the Creator’sone-off for XL spookily enti-tled “Goblin”. So is themetric ton of Jimmy Fallon-approved buzz justified? Ifone measures solely basedon “Goblin”, the simpleanswer is “No”.

Full of warped, nervyproduction and nary achorus to be found,“Goblin” is a challenging,discomforting listen butthere is little pleasure to bederived from these tales ofobsessive violence and sex.The gruesome tales unfoldwith Tyler’s monotone flow,and nothing takes hold.

They claim they aren’thorrorcore, but it will takemore than “Goblin” toprove they aren’t a gimmick.

There’s worry afoot. If you listento casual conversation at happyhours, watch the mild disdain on

faces during SportsCenter, hear theecho of silent Man-Caves everywhere— it’s definitely present. It’s the mani-festation of a nation concerned aboutits’ highest grossing professional sportsproduct: the National Football League.

I’ve briefly touched on the collectivebargaining topic in previous columnsthis year; but always in reference tothe 2011 Detroit Lions season and neverwith conscious inten-tion of explaining thedamn thing. Well, nowit seems I must.

This week in court,the owners (read:league) “won” theright to continue thework stoppage andkeep players out offacilities, thuslengthening a trouble-some period of laborstrife threatening torob fans of the onething they look for-ward to on Sundayafternoons in winter.If you don’t appre-ciate analogies, stopreading now.

Like I do with allfights, I like to frame this one using thecontext of an elementary school play-ground at recess.

Picture it: after Halloween, on thefifth-graders’ (“owners”) biggest andbaddest territory. The small group ofcool kids gathers near the swingsetto discuss how they obviously don’thave nearly enough of the two thingsmost important to fifth-graders: candy,and playground real-estate. Yes, theyalready have pillowcases full of candy,the best Eagles’ Nest, monkey bars andjungle gym: but they want more. Theywant all of the fifth-graders to reap therewards they so rightly deserve.

So the small group of cool kidsdecide that they will need to take itfrom the only other available “revenue”

source: the fourth-graders (“players”).Meanwhile, the fourth-graders have

worked hard to amass some playgroundcurrency of their own: and they’ve donequite well. They’re bringing in goodnumbers on the kickball courts, theirdaily game of tag is generating someserious buzz and generally, they’rehappy. Cue the fifth-graders.

After a long, slow-motion walk with muchdust-kicking and fanfare,the fifth-graders confrontthe fourth-graders anddemand they hand overthree of their four kick-ball courts, in exchangefor the promise of biggerand better things in thefuture.

You can imagine thefourth-graders reaction tothis mandate: not pretty.After all, their legacyas fourth-graders is beingchallenged. Everythingthey’ve worked so hardfor could suddenly belessened. The yellingescalates, and when thepushing and shoving

starts, the recess monitor (“Eighth Cir-cuit Appeals Court”) steps in.

In this scenario — there’s a factionlost on the playground. There’s a groupof kids in the lesser grades (“fans”)who, while all of this madness is hap-pening, are forced to sit against thefence in the sand and weeds with noth-ing to do but wait and worry. Thatgroup of kids can’t understand why thefourth- and fifth-graders are spendingall this valuable time and energy tryingto get more of something they alreadyhave so much of. I mean, how muchmore candy will fit in a pillowcase? Allthe little kids want to do is watch thebig kids play kickball.

NFL bargaining feelslike playground battle
