The Uniter // October 24, 2013 03

Everyone loves the Great Pumpkin. I identify with Charlie Brown more than any other character in the history of literature, but it’s the Gar- field Halloween special that I watch over and over. From the “What Should I Be?” song to Odie saving the day and Garfield’s immortal line - “My boat’s gone, my candy’s gone, the dead pirates are coming any minute, it’s past my bedtime, and I wanna go home!” - that makes it a classic through and through. I can take or leave the pumpkin, give me the dry humour of Garfield’s finest half hour any ol’ day. This issue has nothing to do with Garfield (but there is a pretty funny Circle Heads on the back page) but it is our Halloween issue, and our own Kaitlyn Emslie Farrell takes you on a trip through Winnipeg’s spook- iest spaces. Additionally, there’s a list of (mostly “slutty”) costume recommendations and a few zom- bie shots from Kevin Legge to creep you out. We’ve also got a few new beat reporters on board this week - Justin Schafer talked to musician Greg Rekus and skateboard repurposer Sheena Crookes of SkateBetty, while Melanie Dahling caught up with scruff-rocker Matt Mays and got some hot tips from Provici Cosmetics. DJ Hunnicutt also wrote his debut column for us, in which he calls out lazy producers/ DJs for sampling current hits. Take a look at the back page to find out how to vote for your favourite local whatever in 2013 - that’s right, we’re doing a readers poll. Remember - keep it local!

Greg Rekus plays hard and works much harder.

From the chants (“Yeah?” “Help?” Not sure) of “Sailing”, the opening track off this Juno nominated Toronto folk sextet’s sophomore LP, there’s a feeling of hope. Whether it’s a hope that they won’t get lost in a sea of other groups that sound like this right now or just a hope for a better tomorrow, is unclear. The vocal delivery is mid-level, as though it’s on auto-pilot. There are a LOT of chants (“Did I Die?”), while “In This Life” has the same damn foot stomp as that one song from all the movie trailers last year. Does it make the Strumbellas’ music any less sincere because it sounds like everything else on the radio? No, but the fact that these songs aren’t at all memorable because they take the easy route does make them forgettable. “The Long Road” and closer “The Fire” are interchangeable in terms The Strumbellas of lyrical content and energy, even though one is We Still Move on Dance Floors upbeat and the other laid back.

There’s a lot of pianos and keys on the second song (“Never Change”) on Winnipeg trio Sweet Alibi’s new disc, and since there is no pianist credited in the band, I’m guessing these are courtesy of producer Dana “Rusty” Matyas, and I only make note because it’s really the only time that he makes the disc sound like his own band, Imaginary Cities. The rest of the time, the producer allows such tracks as the honky-tonkin’ “Deep” and the sparse “Why” to exist as the future Times Change(d) standards they are. What really works (as has always been the case with this trio) are the three-part harmonies, the signa- ture sound of the Sweet Alibi. If it’s on the upbeat “Daddy” or a Woody Guthrie cover, the effortless vocals carry the words carefully to the listener. -Nicholas Friesen The Sweet Alibi We’ve Got To Independent 08 The Uniter // October 24, 2013
