ENTREVISTA TRADUCIDA AL ESPAÑOL PARA thelunacollective.co

PARA ELKE, SER HUMANO SIGNIFICA ABRAZAR AL CAOS

Pero solo porque ella haya decidido recibir golpes, no significa que ella no peleará contra él.

Luna: ¿Cómo te está tratando este otoño? Elke: Esta es una pregunta encantadora. He estado muerta de calor y confundida. No deberían hacer 21 grados en NYC en Noviembre

Luna: Felicitaciones en el lanzamiento de tu último EP My Human Experience. Este proyecto tiene una energía increíble. ¿Podrías compartir un poco sobre tu proceso creativo, que difiere de tus trabajos anteriores?

Elke: Gracias por tus amables palabras. Le debo el crédito a usar un babu-grand Piano para escribir. Desbloqueó partes de mi que querían ser expresadas. También fue un instrumento poco familiar que necesitaba mostrarme a mi misma que podía con él.

A parte de eso, luego de mi tour en Abirl, me di cuenta de lo fascinada que estoy por el movimiento y el baile. Tuve una dirección que quise tomar para este lote de canciones que serían el soundtrack para estos bailes que tengo en mi cabeza. Elegí 5 canciones que sentí que expresaban las diferentes versiones de mi y que iban a llevarme a mi próximo trabajo corporal, agraciada y caóticamente.

Luna: Comparte un momento favorito o memoria del trabajo del EP.

Elke: Ver a Brian Jones tocar el bajo. Nunca había trabajado con él, y es tan bueno en lo que hace. Es como Zac (Farro) cuando agarra sus palos de batería. Algunas personas nacieron con ese poder, y es como ver a Superman volar.

Luna ¿Cuáles son las letras de las que más orgullosa te sientes?

Elke: "Call Of The Void". Escribí esa letra cuando tenía 24 años. Está centrado en mi cortando cualquier concepto de una buena vida, y así poder sentir el peso de la humanidad sin ningún escape de la realidad de la muerte. Tuve en cuenta todo lo que amé, aprendí, y trabajé y lo imaginé todo terminando en la eternidad. Oscuridad. Nada.

Creí fervientemente que esto es lo que pasa cuando mueres, me llevó a tener ondas expansivas diariamente. Me ayudó mucho creer en algo en ese momento. Porque he sido instruída por muchas personas en ser algo que no era.

Luna: Hay distintos estados de ánimo y energías en este EP. Cada canción te lleva a un lugar diferente. ¿Cuál es la forma ideal de escucharlo?

Elke: Caminando, manejando, andando en bicicleta. Si estás caminando mientras escuchas mi EP, camina como una hot-ass bitch, hazme el favor, porque lo eres.

Luna: El final visual de Call Of The Void es alucinante. ¿Qué puedes decir sobre las visuales del projecto?

Elke: La portada del EP es deliciosa, soñadora, y confrontadora. Intentnado que sea vea como el sonido del EP en sí. - Mi foto de referencia, era la foto de un perro enojado suspendido en el agua. El concepto del vídeo estaba pensado para contrastar la dulzura y el caos. Le dije a Mike Kluge, quien hizo los efectos especiales, que lo haga simplemente caótio.

Luna: ¿Qué color asocias máas con My Human Experience?

Elke: Un diamante. Agua clara. La ausencia del color, pero el reflejo de la luz que da.

Luna: Mientras el año se calma, ¿qué intenciones tienes para el resto del 2022?

Elke: Caminatas.

hayley is too tied up with lindsay (and brian), and sometimes feels they just do a good job because hayley is already absolutely fantastic... i wish more colab with other people, like elise and phojoh, even zac... also i just here waiting for your ig page of covers \o/ you're amazingggggggg!

phojoh is worse than lindsey, i’ll just say that. it’s best she stay far away from him. i wish elise would assist more. i love her minimal styles + her fashion sense. i also think t would be a good photog too, tbh. we all saw that piano picture 😍 also thank you 🥺❤️

The Best (and Worst) Free Comics of FCBD 2018

Of the fifty-two comics released for Free Comic Book Day 2018, there were an unsurprisingly high number of excellent comics in this year’s class. Here are my picks for the best of the best (with a few dishonorable mentions too) from the many choices available this year.

THE BEST

10. BERLIN by Jason Lutes (w, a, c). (Drawn & Quarterly).

Set in 1928 Germany, a journalist and an art student meet on a train to Berlin; when they arrive, the young student is surprised by what she sees, and the journalist must navigate a changing climate for the press. Narrated in part by the main characters’ writings (his reporting and her diary), this street-level view of Berlin prior to the rise of fascism is masterful and cinematic. Even in this preview, the sense of menace and dread to the events that are to come in the story permeates every page. Absolutely genius. Part of a series written over the past twenty years, this FCBD release promotes the hardcover omnibus of the series due for release in fall 2018.

9. STRANGERS IN PARADISE by Terry Moore (w, a). (Abstract Studios).

The issue opens with an exciting pickpocket scene in which Scott, a generic business type, has his phone and SIM card stolen. He later contacts his wife, Laura, to tell her that he’ll be late coming home and why, prompting Laura to stoically retrieve her run bag and leave home for good. The phone thief heads to Laura’s house to discover she’s already gone and runs into Scott; the thief reveals that “Laura” is actually Stephanie Kelly, a Parker girl caught up in treason and espionage. This is a dynamic, fully realized introduction to what seems like a fun and exciting story loaded with intelligent, powerful women kicking all kinds of ass.

8. ULTRA STREET FIGHTER II #1 by Ken Siu-Chong (w), Hanzo Steinbach (a), Marshall Dillon (l). (Udon).

Trying to shake off his dark side, Ken meets with Ryu to fight through his worst urges and achieve some balance in his life. The pair travel to Japan for some high-level meditation (and fighting, of course), but that only gets Ken so far. Later in San Francisco, Ken is surprised by an attack from Rufus, and during the battle, he learns to control his evil within. Although this comic attempts to apply drama to a fighting video game, the result is fun, colorful, ridiculous, and delightfully entertaining. What more could you want out of a Street Fighter comic?

7. SHADOWMAN by Andy Diggle (w), Stephen Segovia (w), Karl Bollers (e). (Valiant).

Alyssa and her guide Isiah explore the swamps of Louisiana at night, searching for the cause of cursed water that’s making locals sick. She encounters a monster, the Grinder of Bones, and tries to use magic to protect herself to no avail. She runs, and summons Papa Legba for guidance: in return, her friend Jack, now the Shadowman, appears from a portal to help her in her fight. With gorgeous artwork, beautiful coloring, and a plot like nothing else on the stands right now, this issue draws readers into this world so effortlessly that it’s hard to imagine someone reading this issue without being fully engrossed and wanting to pick up the whole series. Terrifically well-done.

6. THE GHOST IN THE SHELL by Max Gladstone (w), David Lopez (a), Nayoung Kim (color), Jodi Wynne (l), Alejandro Arbona (e), Ben Applegate (e). (Kodansha).

Major Kusanagi (aka Motoko) and Aramaki are intercepted by an American Ghost Force Squad while on a business trip to Shangai. After her arrest, Motoko dramatically escapes through the streets of Shangai and meets her old wartime enemy, Li; the pair must work together to save Aramaki and others. This issue, part of an upcoming anthology, is perhaps the most complete, cover-to-cover, issue released on FCBD. At a whopping forty-five pages, readers are treated to an entire story that is exceptional all on its own. This is a fabulous issue that will convert even the most stoic of non-believers into fans of this character and this series.

5. RELAY by Zac Thompson (w), Andy Clarke (a), Eric Bromberg (st), Donny Cates (st), Dan Brown (color), Charles Pritchett (l), Mike Marts (e). (Aftershock).

In this sci-fi story, a space traveler lands on a planet with an undeveloped population and offers them “the Relay,” a monolith that creates uniformity in technology and ideas. Is it intergalactic socialism, or will it be intergalactic fascism? The Relay seemingly destroys community identity and cultural heritage with a new sort of religion: ultimate fath in the monolith itself. This is an expertly paced and well-rendered metaphor that gives sci-fi fans something deeper to ponder.

4. MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS by Kyle Higgins (w), Ryan Parrott (w), Digo Galindo (a), Marcelo Costa (color), Ed Dukeshire (l), Dafna Pleban (e). (Boom!).

This one takes me back! Chosing to advertise its best-selling series, Boom! strategically used its FCBD option to bridge the gap between fans of the old TV show(s) and the current comics mythology, hoping to draw in readers who may have been overwhelmed by the thousands of different Power Ranger characters and their convoluted origin stories and missions. This issue is a straight-forward explanation of how the first episode of the original TV series connects to the comic storyline today, with some surprisingly awesome artwork and a shockingly murderous ending. The issue concedes its childish origins, but by the end, these aren’t your kids’ Power Rangers anymore!

3. AVENGERS by Jason Aaron (w), Sarah Pichelli (p, i), Elisabetta D’Amico (i), Justin Ponsor (color), Cory Petit (l), Tom Brevoort (e). (Marvel).

This issue, frankly, defied my expectations. As the official free preview to Marvel’s “Fresh Start,” there was a lot riding on this issue, the release of which coinciding with yet another reboot of the Avengers in the same week and a blockbuster weekend for the House of Ideas at the cinema a week prior. And it did not disappoint. In a direct follow-up to last year’s Marvel Legacy #1, Odin meets with Black Panther in the ruins of Asgard. Odin explains that he has fallen to Loki and his manipulation of a Celestial and requests that T’Challa kill Loki; he agrees. The story ends in another scene with Captain America and Thor reaching out to Tony Stark for a meeting between the three of them as a new Avengers era begins. Rather than using its FCBD offering to pump in half-assed action, Aaron instead tries to win new readers over with a well-told and interesting story setup. It is refreshing to see Marvel return to storytelling in its flagship series rather than resort to the redundant tropes of its recent past. Very well done.

2. JAMES BOND 007: VARGR by Warren Ellis (w), Jason Masters (a), Guy Major (color), Simon Bowland (l), Joseph Rybant (e). (Dynamite).

On a mission in Finland, 007 hunts down 008’s killer and exacts gruesome revenge. Later at MI6 Headquarters, M is assigned to take over 008’s case load, setting up a story that is simultaneously exhilirating for new readers and faithful in spirit to fans of the classic Bond. With darkly exquisite artwork throughout (particularly the Helsinki scene) and a character whose charm radiates off the page, it’s hard to imagine any comic fan not falling madly in love with this series. Originally published in 2016, this issue and the rest of the story is already available in trade.

1.BARRIER by Brian K. Vaughn (w), Marcos Martin (a, c), Muntsa Vincente. (Image).

No comic in this bunch left my jaw on the floor and mouth agape quite like this one. In this exquisite story, Liddy discovers signs of a Mexican cartel using her land, which happens to be on the Texas-Mexican border, as a throughway for drug trades and illegal immigration. In a parallel story, Oscar migrates from his home in Honduras to reach the U.S., crossing onto Liddy’s land in the middle of the night. She finds him and holds him at gunpoint suddenly the pair are interrupted. It’s a contemporary story involving gruesome violence, cartels, guns, and sci-fi. Half the issue is in Spanish (a language deficit won’t detract from your enjoyment of the issue), and the entire book – at an impressive fifty-three pages – is elegantly printed in landscape format. The artwork is phenomenal. The writing is incomparable. This is simply a perfect comic book from cover to cover. Frankly, I’m shocked it was available for FCBD as it’s well-worth a cover price. I recommend this enthusiastically, and I can’t wait to pick up the whole series this month. An exceptional beauty of a comic.

THE WORST

3. SHADOW ROADS by Cullen Bunn (w), Brian Hurtt (w), A.C. Zamudio (a), Carlos Zamudio (color), Crank! (l), Charlie Chu (e). (Oni Press).

In this deeply convoluted introduction presumptively set in the late nineteenth century, we meet Henry Grey, a Native American and a Cambridge man who visits the British Museum of Natural History’s new Native American exhibit with remorse and perhaps disgust. He meets an elder at the Museum who gives him a magical ceremonial dagger carved from bone that ultimately lights up. En route home, his train passes through a Crossroads where Abigail Redmayne and Kalfu intercept him and bring him to the New Mexico Territory. What causes this issue to fail – aside from the onslaught of new characters to learn and an unexplained mythology to understand – is that by the issue’s end, we are no closer to knowing why any of these events occur. Why does Abigail bring Henry to New Mexico? What is so special about Henry? What’s the point of the glowing dagger? While a free comic book should purposefully leave questions unresolved to entice readers to find their answers in subsequent issues, this romp is sadly too obscure and complicated to elicit any interest.

2. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN by Nick Spencer (w), Ryan Ottley (o), Cliff Rathburn (i), Laura Martin (color), VC’s Joe Caramagna (l), Nick Lowe (e). (Marvel).

Facing off against America’s greatest threat – the Manhattan real estate market – Peter Parker and his buddy Randy look for an apartment when they are interrupted by a fight with Boomerang, Electro, Rhino, and Big Wheel. After a quick costume change, Spider-Man battles them all until Kingpin intervenes. Despite the Mayor’s apparent gratitude for Spider-Man, Peter drops his professionalism instantly and leaves the scene. Later, Randy and Peter settle on a new three-bedroom apartment with a third roommate: Boomerang himself. From the ludicrous dialogue, the boring trope-laden plot, the cartoonish graphic design, and the overall neutering of Peter Parker’s character, this was a deep, deep disappointment for me that goes beyond this single issue; if this was meant to be an advertisement for the new Amazing Spider-Man series, I’m afraid it did more to turn me off than on. In addition, despite picking up all fifty-two free comics on FCBD, this issue is the only one with running ink and cheap printing errors. Oh, Marvel. Why do you do this to me?

1. TANK GIRL by Alan Martin (w), Brett Parson (a), Warwick Johnson-Cadwell (a), Jonathan Edwards (a), Brett Parson (l), Martin Eden (e). (Titan).

This was perhaps my fault for setting my expectations too high. Having never read a Tank Girl comic and only vaguely understanding her origins from nineties samples and the Lori Petty film, I was expecting a post-apocalyptic badass who breaks the fourth-wall and uses ingenuity, humor, grit, and charm to fight the Man. Instead, I got an insufferable cutsey-wootsey romp about a woman face-punching an adult man after he ruined her birthday big wheel when they were children. In between this awful plot’s progression, vignettes either drawn by a child or rendered to look like it had been drawn by child are too annoying to attempt to read. The only enjoyable bit of this comic was the cover by Jamie Hewlett, who should have done the interiors as well.

Hanson en el Teatro Ópera: Fired Up

La pasada semana, Hanson regresó a la Argentina para festejar su aniversario número 25. Hace mucho tiempo que aquellos niños que conquistaron al mundo han crecido y eso se nota no solamente en el aspecto físico, sino también en el musical. Criados bajo la tradición del rock clásico, llegaron al éxito instantáneo por el lado del pop más comercial, pero a medida que los años fueron pasando las guitarras y la potencia se hicieron parte de su genética. Justamente eso fue lo que dejaron en claro durante las dos horas que duró su show en el Teatro Ópera Orbis, donde también le dieron el gusto a un público mayoritariamente femenino y cantaron sus más grandes hits radiales en una noche de lujo.

La previa al primer show de Hanson en el país luego de seis años de ausencia encontró a muchas familias sentadas en sus butacas y a alguna que otra pareja joven pensando en salir disparada hacia adelante en el momento en el que comenzase todo. Mientras por los parlantes sonaba la música seleccionada por Isaac (guitarra y voz), Taylor (piano y voz) y Zac Hanson (batería y voz), las luces del escenario se apagaron cerca de las 21:00 como primer aviso de que los norteamericanos se encontraban listos para subir a las tablas.

Cuando el teatro quedó completamente a oscuras, los gritos al por mayor se adueñaron de todo y no hubo nadie que se quedase sentado desde allí hasta el final. El excelente sonido quedó demostrado ya en la primera canción, la romántica “Waiting For This” que encontró al bajista Andrew Perusi alternando a la perfección entre el blues y el funk. Desde las guitarras llegó un riff más que elegante y los tres ya no tan jóvenes demostraron que sus voces se encuentran en un momento sensacional. Al grito de “shout it out”, todos terminaron bailando e Isaac le dio cierre al primer paso de la noche con un solo muy blusero, algo que es difícil de insertar dentro de un esquema más pop, pero que quedó excelente.

Para sorpresa de quienes hayan estado atentos al tramo anterior de la gira y los recitales recientes en el continente, los hermanos decidieron en un giro de 180° cambiar por completo una lista que tranquilamente podría tener tres o cuatro variantes debido a la cantidad interminable de hits que poseen en sus arcas.

La inyección de adrenalina se mantuvo a pleno durante “Where's The Love”, con las tres voces predicando por el amor y mostrando una madurez sonora colectiva realmente sorprendente. Después de otra muy buena intervención de Isaac, la locura continuó con “Man From Milwaukee”, canción que logró ser transformada en un exponente del Synth-Pop. Una melodía ideal para bailar, guitarras con efectos desde la pedalera y seducción total para que todos los presentes cayesen a sus pies, preludio ideal para un final a puro salto con el bajo y la guitarra mostrando su mayor crudeza haciendo mover a todos sin parar.

Con el tanque completo todavía, sin exhibir ni un poco de cansancio, el recorrido por sus 25 años de éxitos los encontró repasando ese blues del delta llamado “Thinking 'Bout Somethin'”, con Taylor brillando desde el piano y dominando el territorio de la voz. El toque suave de Zac en los platillos fue algo sin dudas destacable, llevando el ritmo frenético del tema y liberando a sus hermanos para que jueguen encima de la melodía.

El saludo para tomar un poco de aire les permitió reacomodarse y disparar – previo aviso de que la noche iba a ser muy larga- una aceitada versión de “Look at You” que inauguró el segmento más romántico y pop del setlist. Un viaje directo hacia la década de los 90’, que también incluyó la ternura de “This Time Around” y esa rendición al romance más clásico - con tintes de jazz en la batería y el piano- que es “Weird”.

La gran ovación llegó después de “Go”, donde Hanson retomó la velocidad de los primeros temas pero sin nunca perder el toque dulce. La guitarra electro-acústica se impuso y las tres voces demostraron su capacidad para mezclarse y jugar con las tonalidades a gusto, tanto a coro como en los momentos individuales de cada una.

“Madeline” y “Juliet” llegaron una detrás de la otra, dando comienzo a la parte puramente acústica. Dos baladas simplemente hermosas y llenas de calidez y ritmo, con la intención de endulzar oídos pero no por ello olvidarse de los pies de los presentes. Luego de agradecer tantos años de apoyo incondicional, volvieron a abrir el cajón de los recuerdos para regalarle a Buenos Aires “Strong Enough to Break” y “Summertime Blues”, piezas en la que se lució la capacidad de los hermanos Hanson para crear baladas con mucho poder, ritmo y emotividad.

Ya rozando la primera hora del show, la temperatura empezó a levantarse una vez más con “Watch Over Me”, pero entre sonrisas y miradas cómplices con el público, volvieron a bajar los ánimos de la mano de “I Will Come To You” que básicamente es uno de esos viejos lentos que ya no se escuchan y que llaman a prender los encendedores y agitarlos sin parar.

Claro que no iba a faltar el pedido por parte de Taylor para que los que aún no se habían unido a la comunidad virtual de la banda lo hiciesen. Más allá de lo anecdótico, es cierto que allí Hanson suele grabar muchos temas por año aunque no haya un nuevo disco y uno de los más populares de todos ellos es “On And On”, cantada íntegramente por Zac y logrando unir por completo al trío con sus aficionados.

Para el tramo final, volvieron a la potencia y los riffs bien rockeros del principio, comenzando por su Nuevo single “I Was Born” un híbrido interesante entre la clave boy-band y su cara más madura y guitarrera, con el bajo como hilo conductor llegando a fundirse con el golpeo de la batería por momentos.

La canción de amor absoluta apareció con “A Minute Without You” pero esta vez los fanáticos se comieron el amago, pues al instante engancharon “Get the Girl Back”, que directamente es una invitación al baile eterno. Perusi abrió el juego a pura finta y la batería le puso mucho funk a la melodía, recordando a “Gotta Give It Up” de Marvin Gaye aunque sin llegar jamás a ser un plagio ni mucho menos.

El piano se prendió fuego cuando comenzó “Give A Little”, dándole a la canción un ritmo impresionante y comprobando in situ que Hanson, además de tener un título mundial en baladas, tiene también la fórmula para que uno pierda el control del cuerpo por completo.

Las dos horas de recital se encontraban en el horizonte, quedando tiempo para varias canciones más tal cual habían prometido los hermanos. Con “And I Waited” se prepararon con mucha tranquilidad para tal vez la bomba más esperada de la noche. Al grito de “nos vamos 20 años atrás, esta tal vez sea la primera canción nuestra que escucharon”, no tardaron en detonar el Ópera gracias a una versión muy rockera y festiva de “MMMBop” que hizo delirar a todos y convenció a los que estaban en el sector trasero de las plateas de acercarse hasta el borde del escenario mientras cientos de globos se agitaban en el aire.

El estallido final llegó con la tríada potente y rutera compuesta por “If Only”, “Fired Up” e “In the City” que los vio retirarse bajo una tremenda ovación de la cual inevitablemente iban a tener que regresar. Minutos mediaron para que Hanson pisase el escenario una vez más y se despachase con una versión a capella de “Rockin' Robin” (un viejo rock and roll clásico de Bobby Day) y luego tomasen sus instrumentos para rendirle homenaje al único e inigualable Chuck Berry con una versión impecable de “Johnny B. Goode” que hizo saltar y bailar a todos aunque cantar solamente a los pocos que sabían quién era el autor de la canción.

Para el adios eligieron “Lost Without Each Other”, una canción que se encuentra a la altura de esa frase lanzada por Isaac antes de dar rienda suelta a la locura: “Inspired by rock and roll”. Y razón tiene el mayor de los Hanson, ya que es evidente que más allá de que fue dentro del pop-rock donde ascendieron desde muy pequeños, el rock más puro jamás dejó de correr por sus venas.

La promesa de volver pronto quedó flotando en el aire con decisión luego de los aplausos y el saludo con foto a espaldas del público cerrase el círculo a la perfección. Los Hanson son locales en la Argentina y es claro que nunca más se van a tomar tanto tiempo para regresar.
