O’LEARY

Fly Me to the Moon The Art of Self-Defense The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science (1801 Mountain Rd. NW) celebrates the Violent comedy finds humor in the hypermasculine 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing this Saturday, July 20, with a screening of the Smithsonian Channel documentary “The Day We Walked on the Moon.” The program uses spectacular historical footage and interviews with key figures to tell the story of how mankind walked on the Moon. The film starts screening at 10am in the museum’s STEM Lecture Hall and runs continuously throughout the day. Admission to the screening is free with museum admission. Moon-related table activities for kids will also be available from 10am to 2pm. Dress for Success Have you ever wondered about the people who work in the costume department on a motion picture, creating the exact worn/dirty/rumpled look on a piece of clothing to make it realistic. That’s the work of costume dyers and agers. For those curious about finding a job in New Mexico’s growing film industry, the New Mexico Film Office is offering up a special class/lecture on costume aging and dyeing on Saturday, July 20. Wynema Chavez Quintana and Amy Mann will be there to talk about what their job entails and how to get work in as a costume ager/dyer. If you have an excellent color sense, attention to detail, the ability to replicate processes and familiarity with fabrics and materials, this might be a cool career for you. The class takes place at the Central & Unser Library (8081 Central Ave. Jesse Eisenberg learns to kill with a touch. NW) from 10:30am to 1:30pm. Admission is free, but you need to register at Eventbrite (bit.ly/2G3IwyL) in order to guarantee a seat. BY DEVIN D. O’LEARY The Art of Self- from melancholy to macabre before you know Defense it.

JULY 18-24, 2019 WEEKLY ALIBI [25] SONIC REDUCER BY AUGUST MARCH DH Scott My Body Longed For The Summer (Self-released) This is a folk album in all respects from its ramble on righteously way of proceeding from song to song, to the singer’s voice and syncopated guitar duels. But more than that, this is an honest creative statement, spoken and played in a language both plaintive and privately provocative—filled with nuance, interesting instrumental arrangements and a sense of longing, expectation and ennui—that positively separate it from much the genre through musical leaps of faith and intimate moments gleaned by experiencing both the holy and the mundane in life. “Banish My Soul To New Mexico” is an unassuming tune; quiet, almost resigned, the song tells a tale of endings, of falling short of heaven, of ending up in New Mexico as a result. That appears to be no curse; rather the song describes an opportunity to grab bolts of lightning and so join up with something greater and brighter than the sum of the past. The title track, meanwhile burns and shuffles through the pain of expectation, dirge-like but still hopeful at the end. On this track, Scott’s voice has a vibrato in it that resembles the voice of Willie Nelson and the crackle of that voice, complemented by a wavering, drifting violin supplied by Rachael Penn is both hearteningly sweet and totally, unforgivably sad. Mi favorito: “Long Arms Of Regret” for its haunting, trickling and beautifully bleary keyboard arrangement. Spend at least a month with this fragile yet hopeful work before summer’s short lease ends again. Bellemah The Dirt I Settled In (Self-released) Bellemah is Diné composer Billy Bellmont playing guitar and singing whilst backed up by Roger Apodaca on guitar and keys, Ben Levine on drums and voice, Stue Trory on keyboards and Peri Pakroo playing the bass and singing, too. The project’s new record is called The Dirt I Settled In and more than a dusty circumstance in repose, the work provides a sharp look into interior worlds and exterior motives.

It’s professionally produced, excruciatingly detailed and most of all, totally and completely complete in the sense that, track after track, it proves that rocanrol can be vital, beautiful and indestructible by either time or trauma.
