LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 11.17 143 COVER STORY 3 X 2 Locals as critics 1 1 2 3 2 The five-piece band Cereal Glyphs have been playing noisy rock tunes for the past two and half years and over the summer released their second record, The Second Hand. The group recorded it themselves in a warehouse on 15th Street. "Mostly on tape plus a few overdubs digitally," says guitarist/vocalist Andy Myers, whose band will be one of more than 20 playing Nov. 24-26 as part of a third-birthday bash for Kaiju in Germantown. The album cover is an ink/Sharpie drawing depicting skeleton hands and various timepieces by Ryan Davis, a friend of the band and coordinator of the Cropped Out festival of experimental music. "The Second Hand is a reference to time having its hands around your neck," Myers says. — KM Cereal Glyphs, The Second Hand Aaron Miller is director of programs for the Leadership Louisville Center, which is bringing HSN star/Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano to town to speak Nov. 10 at the Frazier History Museum. Jennifer Lawrence portrayed Mangano in the movie Joy. John Ausঞn Clark is artistic director of Bourbon Baroque, the classical ensemble that will perform Handel's "Messiah" Nov. 25 & 26 at St. Brigid Catholic Church. Listen to "Louisville" by Tyrant featuring Kori Black, one of seven Song of the Year nominees at the Louisville Music Awards (Nov. 9 at the Kentucky Center). Thoughts? "Great lyrics and vocals. While 'Louisville' plays like a love song to our city, with pride in its streets and neighborhoods, there is a sadness in the names of those who have lost their lives to violence and the warnings about where you should and shouldn't go. It makes you remember there are two different Louisvilles." "It is as if Tyrant picked me up in his tricked-out greased lightning for a Broadway-bound cruise. We wave to our friends and scream out the window happy-go-lucky musings." Watch the trailer for Serenade for Hai, by Louisville native Owsley Brown III. Would you watch this documentary (showing at the Speed this month)? "There are so many connections to Haiti in our community, from the work of WaterStep around clean water to Dr. Bob Hilgers and the Women's Global Cancer Alliance. Most of the talk around Haiti is about health, so focusing on the arts is very compelling." "Mother always said, 'You have your music.' Another mother also said, 'When you have music, you are never alone.' These thoughts come to mind while previewing Owsley's documentary. What an inspirational story. I look forward to seeing this specific example of how music can rebuild and bring together a community." Read the first page of Jonathan Eig's new biography, Ali: A Life. Would you continue reading? (First sentence: "A long, black Cadillac glides past waving palm trees and stops in front of the Surfside Community Center." For our Q&A; with Eig, go to Louisville.com.) "I heard about this book recently and it's on my Audible wish list at the moment. Based on this opening, I can't wait to dive in — although the audio version is nearly 23 hours, so don't ask me about it for a while." "Muhammad Ali: the Louisville Saint! Yes, I would continue reading this biography, and I also think it should be required reading for every teenager in Kentucky. We have so much to learn from those who have come before us, blazing trails so the next generations have a chance to be the best."
