Rick and Evy are back for more adventures, this time with a son. Unfortunately, they’re not the only ones who return, as a group of worshippers brings Imhotep back to life. He is set on reviving his beloved – Anck Su Namun – and taking over an undead army belonging to the Scorpion King, a man who made a pact with Anubis and only awakens once every 5,000 years. For Imhotep to take over his army he must kill the Scorpion King. To do so will involve the bracelet of Anubis, which Rick and Evy have just managed to uncover. When Imhotep goes to steal the bracelet he sees that their son Alex is wearing it. They take him with the bracelet, leaving Rick and Evy reeling. Now they must save their son, retrieve the bracelet, and stop Imhotep before he raises the Scorpion King and all hell breaks loose, literally.
Loved this sequel almost as much as the
original. It was great to have the original cast back together, and even adding
some new faces to go with them. The humor is there, the action and romance as
well, and being set in Egypt you get to see a lot of really neat places from
history.

Jeff Mangum is probably best known for his work in the band Neutral Milk Hotel, and the scene that he led is known as the Elephant 6 Collective, named after the Elephant 6 Recording Company which was started by members of the bands featured on the label. The music of Elephant 6 has been quite influential on pop music that followed their heyday 20 years ago, but there hasn’t been much written about how their scene developed, or what happened to the collective. Journalist Adam Clair, however, has been quietly documenting their history for years, gathering hundreds of interviews, and he has just published Endless Endless: A Lo-Fi History of the Elephant 6 Mystery, which you can borrow from Polley.
Clair’s introduction clarifies the scope of
his inquiry into Elephant 6: he’s looking for the human history behind the
collective, as opposed to analysis of albums or lyrics. And ultimately he’s looking
for any loose ends that might need to be tied up in the absence of public work
from Neutral Milk Hotel or their bandleader Jeff Mangum since the early Oughts.
As he puts it, “What’s missing—or at least
what’s not immediately apparent—from both the album (“In the Aeroplane Over the
Sea”) and the public understanding of Mangum himself becomes just as compelling
as what is actually there.” When Mangum pulled away from
public discourse, his music and band continued to grow in popularity, taking on
an unusual kind of legendary status in absentia.
The first chapter elaborates further on the
mystery of Mangum and its effects on Elephant 6 as a whole: Neutral Milk Hotel
released their final full-length in February of 1998, and performed their last
show for New Year’s Eve 1998. As their music continued to grow in popularity,
the effect of no more activity from Neutral Milk Hotel was fans old and new
digging into the other bands of the Elephant 6 collective. And ultimately this
has created a growing audience for many of the bands connected to their scene,
some of which are still together, like Of Montreal.
The Elephant 6 bands formed a tight
collective, and the earlier portions of the book discuss the early history of
individuals who eventually formed many of the bands within the label’s
umbrella. It’s an interesting story that takes us across the country a few
times. The book goes from Ruston, Louisiana in the late 70s and early 80s,
where the young Robert Schneider met the young Jeff Magnum in 2nd grade. The pair
of friends were eventually joined by Will Cullen Hart, Ty Storms, and Bill Doss
by middle school, where they formed their first bands. They all explored new
and unusual forms of music together as listeners and performers, and Jeff and
Will become DJs at WLPI radio in 1987, where they could play free-format music
after 10 PM.
As friend groups do, people spread out and
moved around the country upon graduation, but these friends stayed in touch,
and eventually the core of the Elephant 6 Recording Company was formed by Bill,
Hilarie Sidney, Jeff, Jim, Robert and Will. United by their friendships, as
well as a love for psychedelic pop music that was unique for the era, the label
become a reality in 1993, with core groups of participants settling in Denver,
CO and Athens, GA. Perhaps the key to the “collective” aspect of Elephant 6,
most musicians played in multiple Elephant 6 bands. They played on each others’
albums, toured with one another, and advocated for the whole collective of
bands in music press.
Through a little over the halfway point in the
book, Clair smoothly ties together countless interviews into a narrative of the
rise of all of the Elephant 6 collective bands, with some emphasis on the most
well-known acts connected to Jeff Mangum, Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor
Control. At this point, we reach the early-Oughts moment around 2002 when it
becomes clear that Mangum really is removing himself from public view. The rest
of the book, then, addresses the post-Neutral Milk Hotel period, during which
other Elephant 6 collective members have mostly continued to create and
perform, though most have also adopted a certain desire to protect their
privacy. Mangum declined to be interviewed for this book, but so many others
agreed to participate that it’s possible to get a picture of the modern era of
Elephant 6 members. And that is to say that the modern era is somewhat more
subdued again—after Bill Doss of Olivia Tremor Control and The Sunshine Fix
passed away unexpectedly in 2012, a lot of momentum among the collective was
slowed. There were occasional Jeff Mangum performances in the early teens,
including a brief reunion of Neutral Milk Hotel in 2013 through 2015, which
felt like a moment where the band was able to enjoy the boost in their
reputation after a decade of inactivity. But broadly speaking, now that they’re
far enough ahead in their respective careers that in most genres they’d start
to be billed as nostalgia circuit acts, those that are still very active like
Of Montreal are still writing some of the best work of their careers, while
those that have stopped playing continue to enjoy a kind of mythical reputation
that informs new bands to the present day.
It’s a very readable book—Clair’s style is
simply to string together moments of historical context, and let his interview
subjects speak for themselves. While he doesn’t get into great detail about
every single Elephant 6-related band, almost everyone is at least mentioned,
and you can get a very good sense about the bands, their music, their
influences, and most importantly, their relationships over the decades, through
the course of Endless Endless. Perhaps my
biggest takeaway from the book is that almost all of these bands share an
old-school kind of artistic integrity: they’ve all had ambivalent relationships
with the fame and money that often comes with music stardom, and for the most
part, they’ve found strategies to either work on their own terms, or stop
working altogether when they feel it’s not possible to have the kind of impacts
and audiences they prefer. This has kept a lot of Elephant 6 participants from
being able to live as full-time musicians, but through the course of these many
interviews, one gets a very clear sense that their memories of the times and
music they made together are the most important part of the work. These are
priorities one doesn’t see often in biographies of popular musicians, and for
that reason alone, I think this is a personable, attractive book for many music
fans.

In the late 1980s, a group of four paper girls set out on their routes and encounter time travelers, supernatural beings and their future selves, in this nostalgic graphic novel series consisting of 6 volumes. Now made into an Amazon TV series, reminiscent of Stranger Things, but with a group of hard-core young women.

This book is in two parts, the first being about a woman and her experience of becoming an influencer and really speaks to how weird and abstract the “portal” (the internet) can be. The second half of the book is a crash landing back IRL (in real life) when the woman’s sister starts having complications with her pregnancy.
This book both gave me faith in humanity and
destroyed me. The author used a lyrical, sideways approach in her first half of
the book, that is still slightly present in her second half but the second half
is a more present, concrete narrative that I believe was intentional. Fabulous
book that provides commentary on internet life vs IRL.

This absolutely delightful series of children’s graphic stories began with the 2018 picture book Sir Simon, Super Scarer, in which a blobby little ghost named Sir Simon Spookington is looking forward to his first assignment to haunt an actual house (he’s previously haunted a forest, a boat, a bus stop, and…a potato. But Simon is concerned to discover that the house he’s been transferred to is newly occupied by not only a kindly little old lady (great for hauntings) but also by a curious little boy (Chester), who quickly sees Simon and tries to befriend him. The picture book covers Simon showing Chester all of the “ghost chores” he must accomplish each day (spooky animal noises, chain clanking, mysterious footsteps in the attic, etc.) and Chester shows Simon the human chores he’s responsible for (cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, etc.).
The two later volumes, both released in 2021,
are rebranded as part of the “Simon and Chester” series, and take the form of
juvenile graphic novels — the art, while still terrific, is a bit less detailed
and more restrained, and more emphasis is placed on the storytelling. In the
first, Simon and Chester: Super
Detectives, Simon and Chester are bored and borrow some costume to take
on the role of detectives in search of a mystery. In the second, Simon and Chester: Super
Sleepover!, Chester (an introvert) accepts an invitation to a
friend’s sleepover birthday party, and Simon nervously awaits his annual
“haunting” review by a notoriously picky ghost supervisor. Both are nervous
about their respective appointments, but both train each other on how to be successful.
The artwork, while a bit cartoonish, is
excellent, with both Simon the ghost and Chester the kid being very expressive.
The storytelling is amusing, and each book has a positive message for kids. I
really enjoy this series, and can’t wait for more Simon and Chester adventures
from this author/illustrator. Simon is a particularly engaging little spook!

This is a cozy, Christian Fiction romance that begins as an epistolary novel (almost entirely of their emails back-and-forth) which gradually introduces the characters to us and to each other. The characters are likeable as are their friends, his family, and the town.
Natalie Moody is having housing and, just in
general, money issues. Her rental house has been condemned and she and her five
children must relocate. She contacts an online dating service for those seeking
a marriage of convenience and has the email address of someone who is undaunted
at the idea of marrying a young woman with five children. But she mistypes the
address and ends up texting with Denver Barclay.
Denver is a welder who is working on a
ship-at-sea doing underwater welding, a dangerous job between the sharks, the
weather, the job itself, and the threat of decompression sickness (the bends).
While he enjoys the high salary he’s making for this job, he’s eager to return
home for the holidays – and possibly forever – to his farm.
This is Book #02 in the Cowboy Mountain
Christmas series. One does not need to have read the first book as you quickly
sort out who the other characters are. A short listen at only 10-hours.
I ran across this book during an author
promotion on one of my Facebook author/book pages. She neglected to mention
this is Christian Fiction and I’m not normally a reader of that genre (though I
like Jan Karon’s Mitford series, and love Mary Connealy’s “Petticoat Ranch”).
So I can’t say I enjoyed this title because
this isn’t really my niche. But the characters were well-drawn and the
storyline was interesting and kept you involved. The author had me at “Cowboy,”
“Mountain,” and “Christmas” in the series title, but Denver is not a cowboy and
this wasn’t the Hallmark cowboy mountain Christmas romance thing I was
anticipating.
However, if you enjoy the Amish romances and
Christian Fiction by Francine Rivers, then this is right up your alley.

Based on the best-selling 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, I consider the 1975 film Jaws, directed by Stephen Spielberg and starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss to be one of the best films every made. Despite being a production nightmare, which ran more than 100 days over the proposed filming schedule, and featuring a physical special effects shark that broke down more often than it worked, Jaws still manages to be an intense character study against a backdrop of a community being terrorized by horrors beyond its understanding.
Personally, I believe Scheider, Dreyfuss and
Shaw give the best performances of their respective careers. Jaws’ unexpected
success — it became the first “summer blockbuster” — certainly set director
Spielberg on the course for a lengthy and distinguished career. The
Oscar-winning soundtrack by John Williams is also one of the most memorable in
that composer’s lengthy career as well — everyone recognizes his shark music
within just a few beats of music.
When a Great White Shark claims the waters
around the New England tourist community of Amity as its feeding grounds,
Sheriff Brody (a New York City transplant) is prepared to close the beaches,
but the Mayor and town council members oppose these efforts, knowing tourism
and visitors to their beaches are the town’s lifeblood. But additional shark
attacks make their concerns moot. While local fishermen attempt to cash in on a
bounty for the killer shark, grizzled seaman Quint (Shaw) is hired by Brody
(Scheider), and reluctantly takes on oceanographer Hooper (Dreyfuss), to find
and destroy the deadly killer. The second half of the film becomes a
claustrophobic exploration of what these three men are willing to do to survive
under extreme circumstances — as Brody says in one of the film’s most memorable
lines — “You’re going to need a bigger boat!”
Three moments are forever branded in my memory
from this film: (1) The first shark attack near the beginning of the film. (2)
When Mrs. Kintner (Lee Fierro) confronts Sheriff Brody and slaps him, accusing
him of knowing about the shark and keeping the beaches open…leading to her
young son’s gruesome death. And (3) The late night discussion aboard The Orca,
in which Quint shares the harrowing description of being a survivor of the
sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis in shark-infested waters during WWII. Any of
these three scenes is movie magic, and then you’ve got an entire epic film
layered on top of them.
(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try:
I did enjoy Jaws 2, but the other sequels weren’t worth watching. I’d recommend
watching any other films with Scheider, Shaw and Dreyfuss…but it’s hard to beat
this one. Despite other later shark films having better effects, I don’t think
any other shark movie beats Jaws for overall drama and acting
performances.)

It’s been a great few years for books on
German electronic pop pioneers Kraftwerk, starting with David Buckley’s book
“Kraftwerk: Publication” about two years ago. That remains a fantastic resource
if you want to know more about the music of Kraftwerk—it’s quite an exhaustive
overview of their music. Since then, we added another interesting book related
to Kraftwerk called Kraftwerk: Future Music
from Germany by Uwe Schutte, which is a compact book but also
very much worth reading. And here we’re going to look at a monster of a new
book that you can now borrow from the Polley Music Library called The Sound of the
Machine: My Life in Kraftwerk and Beyond. This is
the autobiography of long-time Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos, who joined the
band during what’s arguably their heyday, representing the period between their
Autobahn album and Computer world, 1974 to 1990. After leaving Kraftwerk, he
went on to form his own band Elektric Music, released a pair of well-received
solo albums, and also collaborated with Kraftwerk again on the later albums
Electric Café and The Mix.
My first response to this book was a bit of
shock at its sheer size: it clocks in over 600 pages! However, I was a bit
relieved once I opened the book to find that it’s using a large font,
approaching large print text. It’s larger typesetting than any music book I’ve
examined in a while, and I must admit that it’s a nice change of pace compared
to some of the tiny text one finds in typical music history books.
With that unusual technical detail aside,
let’s get into the book itself. Originally published in Bartos’ native German,
the English edition was translated by Katy Derbyshire, and it finds Bartos
writing in an affable, conversational manner throughout. Early chapters focus
on his youth and early education. Like many aspiring musicians of his
generation, he was inspired to pursue music after hearing the Beatles, and
initially focused on the guitar and a little bit of drums. Eventually he found
himself working mostly with drums, simply because there were lots of guitar
players around. From this mostly self-taught beginning, he was able to get into
Robert Schumann Conservatory, where he studied classical percussion in depth.
But he continued to learn about the more unusual strains of rock music activity
happening in the late 60s and early 70s, too, such as Zappa and Can. For much
of the early 70s, Bartos was immersed in a combination of rock music idioms,
classical music, and jazz, while earning his degree.
In 1974, it turned out to be his classical
training that led Bartos to his long-time membership in Kraftwerk: they were
looking for a classical percussionist to try playing their newly-developed
electronic drum kit. The main pair of composer-performers in Kraftwerk, Ralf
Hutter and Florian Schneider, were also working with drummer Wolfgang Flur, but
ultimately decided to add Bartos to their lineup. They began rehearsing to tour
for the “Autobahn” album in earnest. Bartos lived a professional double-life in
1974 and 75, playing with Kraftwerk while continuing to work as a percussionist
in opera and classical ensembles.
Starting with his accounts of activities in
1975, Bartos reveals his time as part of what’s now thought of as the “classic
lineup” of Kraftwerk, starting with the recording of Radio-Activity. This
narrative takes up the bulk of the rest of the book. Perhaps the biggest
strength of this book for Kraftwerk fans will be the unique perspectives of
Bartos regarding this period of fertile imagination for the band. He discusses
lots of in-the-studio moments throughout the book, addressing both conceptual
and technical elements of making this iconic music. But his perspective as a
classically-trained musician continues to filter through all of his
experiences, adding a unique take on this music that can’t be found in other
books. Bartos has a great way of discussing the music in multi-layered,
thoughtful, and introspective dimensions while managing to avoid the more
technical jargon that could make things harder to understand for non-trained
musicians.
The passages regarding Kraftwerk around early 1990, when Bartos and Flur left the group, are revealing as well. It’s been rare to read about this part of Kraftwerk history outside of the perspectives of Hutter or Schneider, but ultimately their slow work on “The Mix” album, while also insisting that Kraftwerk members only work within the band, ultimately led both percussionists to pursue other interests, for both emotional and financial reasons. It’s kind of a sad story. While there was a certain emotional detachment among band members that kept everything civil at first, eventually lawyers got involved over songwriting credit disputes.
The final section of the book is quite short, despite covering the time period from 1990 to the present. Bartos hasn’t been overly prolific as a musician in his time since Kraftwerk, though he’s released several solid albums as Elektric Music and under his own name. Ultimately, the book focuses on the period that most fans probably find the most compelling, and Bartos is a thoughtful and grateful guide through the heyday of Kraftwerk.

Will McPhail is a cartoonist and contributor to the New Yorker magazine.
An aging, lonely millennial (Nick) visits
(hilariously-named, and satirical) coffee shops in an attempt to reach out and
connect with people — to combat his work-from-home loneliness. He goes through
the same surface-level interactions in his daily life. (Hi, How are you, Fine
thanks and you, What can I get you, …)
He feels that there is more to life he is
missing out on, and he decides to stop playing by the same script and tries to
heartfully open up to others. Sometimes it works; sometimes it hilariously
doesn’t. When people do let him “in” — the black and white graphics change to
metaphorical and colorful illustrations (think Dorothy in Oz).
A few emerging storylines mesh together in a
dark twist of a clever yet poignant ending. Hilariously funny at times,
contrasted with serious life issues that creep in. Completely relatable to
modern-day post-COVID times.
With all this technology and social media
“bringing us together”, why are we all still so distant?

With the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II
in England this past week, there has been renewed interest in her life,
especially as presented in films and television. I checked out this DVD to see
how she was portrayed as Princess Elizabeth on VE Day, the day that the war
with Germany was declared to be over. With the deprivation and sacrifice behind
them, the people in Britain are given the opportunity to celebrate the end of
the war this particular night. Elizabeth and her sister Margaret receive permission
from their parents to go out that evening to celebrate the end of this terrible
war. This opportunity is not one to be missed — the one time in their lives
when they can mingle with the crowds “incognito” and celebrate alongside their
British subjects. Unfortunately, the Queen Mum has other ideas in mind — she
sends them out with military escorts who take them to the Ritz to celebrate
with older upper crust society members — certainly not their idea of a good
time! Both Princesses manage to escape and the adventure begins, taking them
all over London and into areas that were considered to be the roughest at that
time. Here Elizabeth meets Jack, a pilot gone AWOL who helps her to navigate
the streets of London in an effort to find Margaret who is caught up in the
