Then we gon' ride right into the sun: Marquise Lan

Marquise sempre fica muito ansiosa quando chega no Quartel e a maioria dos aurores está na frente do quadro de notificações de casos, recolhendo os crimes ao redor da cidade que eles vão escolher ficar ocupados pela semana, e percebe que, mais uma vez, os pequenos furtos no subúrbio ficaram de lado de novo.

O que ela acha ótimo, na verdade, maravilhoso se for parar pra pensar. E não é porque eles são pequenos e nem considerados mais simples de resolver: é só porque ela gosta do subúrbio, e gosta das pessoas de lá também.

— Você tem certeza que quer descobrir… Quem foi que roubou o caixa de uma loja na Little Syria e ouvir um moleque lamentar por que perdeu a bicicleta em Chinatown? — Kuan jura que não está usando seu tom de gay venenoso quando inclina a cabeça por cima do ombro de Lan, mas não consegue evitar ao observar a pilha de papéis na mesa da ruiva, antes de olhar pra ela em seu maior estado consternado de julgamento. — Isso meio que não é trabalho de verdade. Parece preguiçoso.

— E eu meio que não pedi sua opinião, mas ainda assim, você acha que precisa me entregar ela. — Marquise pontua, antes de analisar a mesa do próprio Kuan, ao jogar a cabeça levemente para o lado e moldar um sorrisinho nos lábios. — E você acha mérito pegar um caso grande igual a todo mundo e achar que pode resolver sozinho? O preguiçoso meio que é você.

Enquanto aquele bando de homens barulhentos iam pro centro descobrir quem fez sei lá o que com algum parente irrelevante do Ministro, ela preferia passar o dia tentando entender o inglês de uma senhora de setenta anos, árabe e imigrante, explicando como um ladrão tinha invadido seu estabelecimento no meio da noite.

Enquanto ela mesma, Marquise Lan, aos vinte e dois anos, chinesa e imigrante e que definitivamente também não tinha inglês como primeira língua, tentava explicar como todos os detalhes eram importantes.

— A senhora se lembra da roupa dele?

— Quantos anos ele parecia ter?

— Ele entrou pela porta arrombada e fugiu por ela também?

— Alguém tem estado estranho no bairro?

Naquela hora, ela chega a erguer uma sobrancelha pra ouvir a senhora relatando que vivia batendo boca com um adolescente por aí sem motivo algum, e que ela mesma, escolhia a batalha de fazer birra ao jogar um balde de água suja na direção dele toda vez que o via passar pela calçada.

— Por que a senhora não mencionou isso no seu chamado? — Lan quer saber, enquanto dá a volta no balcão em direção ao caixa, os olhos treinados pro chão úmido e fedido, num fluxo de água que dava direto pra caixa registradora.

Mas a senhora não precisa responder, não quando todas as notas que ela disse que foram roubadas, estavam nadando no meio de cocô, ração pra gato e xixi nas gavetas de metal.

Marquise tem quase certeza que o garoto rindo do outro lado da rua é o autor do crime, mas é só um palpite.

— Às vezes eu acho que você desperdiça seu potencial indo pro underground, mas as pérolas que você trás de volta sempre compensam. — Leto solta uma risada, fazendo Marquise revirar os olhos com tanta força que acha que vai ficar cega.

— Bom, ela precisava se redimir com ele pela humilhação que fez ele passar nas últimas semanas, e ele precisava de um emprego.

— Como você sabia?

— As roupas pareciam menores que ele, os tênis não estavam lá dos melhores e o cabelo muito grande, sem contar nas três crianças que estavam com ele e pareciam ser família. — A garota começa a pontuar as observações feitas naquela manhã durante a reconciliação de criminoso e vítima, encolhendo os ombros ao sentir o olhar curioso de Wang em cima dela. — E aquela senhora era muito velha pra ficar carregando caixas e subindo em escadas, então sugeri que um passasse a colaborar com o outro. Ela tirou a acusação, ele só precisou responder umas perguntas e fiz ele prometer que não ia fazer de novo, e eu sei que vai ficar tudo bem.

Menos um caso, menos uma pasta e nem um arquivo pra ser guardado graças ao seu poder de persuasão e gerência de crise e observações atentas sobre as outras pessoas, que ela jurava, não era um superpoder. Só natural.

— Okay… Talvez eu ache que você usa seu potencial pro que importa de verdade, agora. — Era difícil não saber quando os aurores voltavam pro Quartel quando o laboratório de Wang ficava no andar de baixo. Dava pra ouvir os passos pesados, as conversas altas e a maioria expondo algum lucro ou vantagem que ia conseguir se resolvesse o próprio caso. Um contraste sempre muito interessante com Marquise Lan, a única mulher entre eles agora, e também a única auror que tinha seus papéis em dia e mais casos resolvidos que qualquer sênior de mais de trinta anos. Chegava a ser cômico ver ela tão tranquila e segura com o próprio trabalho, e era por isso que Leto gostava dela. — Você é uma pessoa boa, Marqui.

— Se eu virar as costas pras pessoas que vêm do mesmo lugar que eu, quem é que sobra pra proteger na comunidade bruxa? — E ela dizia aquilo por si mesma, e as pouquíssimas pessoas que conhecia e realmente estavam interessadas em acabar com a criminalidade e violência das ruas, que afetava pessoas de verdade e não os poderosos com dinheiro pra contratar segurança.

E, sinceramente? No fundo, ninguém gostava de um puxa-saco mediano, e Marquise sabia que o único jeito de chegar no topo, pra pessoas sem sobrenome feito ela, era ser competente sem contar com nem uma influência de fora. Era mais difícil e levava mais tempo, mas ela tinha certeza que ia dar conta.

Sua mãe deu conta de sustentar as duas quando seu pai faleceu um tempo depois deles conseguirem realizar o sonho americano, e também deu conta de criar ela longe da parte ruim de Chinatown até ficar madura suficiente pra Marquise fazer as próprias escolhas, então ela acreditava mesmo que não tinha como dar errado.

Ela só precisava de energia e uma motivação, e pras coisas que importavam de verdade, ela sempre tinha esses dois fatores de sobra.

Ela gostava de cuidar de pessoas. Todas elas.

— A bicicleta desaparecida é sua?

Tudo bem que não tem outra criança na calçada, chorando com um bico enorme e com um cartaz de procura-se feito a mão, com o desenho de uma bicicleta azul manchada agora por lágrimas, mas ela não quer assustar o filho dos outros com o céu ficando escuro. E é só quando o garotinho pequeno se levanta coçando o próprio rosto e confirma com a cabeça, é que ela liga seu modo profissional de novo, com a certeza que sua mãe ia entender seu atraso pro jantar de novo, assim que ela estende a mão pra segurar a dele e começa a enchê-lo de perguntas.

— Onde você viu ela pela última vez?

— Seus pais sabem que você está na rua até tarde sozinho?

— A gente vai encontrar, você vai ver.

The Dave Benton Interview: Catching up with The MadTown Man by Eric Eggleson

If you haven’t heard of Dave Benton, then you didn’t grow up in the Midwest, or Madison specifically. I “lived” at his record store and saw one of his former bands, Spooner, too many times to count. But when I found out he was in a new band, the ghost particles, I had to check them out. And am I ever glad I did. They are a supergroup of sorts if you’re familiar with the Madison music scene (Ex-Spooner, Fire Town, The Rousers, First Person). What’s even better is I got to see them perform at one of their few and far between shows in Madison this summer. I contacted Dave to see if he was up for a Dagger interview and here’s what he had to say.  

Have you lived in Madison your entire life?  I originally lived in New Jersey; my family moved to Omaha, NE when I was 11. I attended U of Nebraska for one year and then transferred to a smaller state college, Wayne State in the small town of Wayne, Nebraska. (Not affiliated with Wayne State University in Detroit). It was there that I first met Doug “Duke” Erikson. After college I moved to Madison in 1972.  

When did you begin your musical career?  I was 15 when I formed a band with friends.  While in Nebraska I played with five different Rock bands over the thirteen years. It was all good fun and preparation for the next level.  

What musical training do you have?  No formal training.  

Anybody help your training?  Just friends, sharing chords. I discovered from the outset that I could play by ear and copy melodies from records.  

When did you feel that you “made it” in the field? Why?  After many years, our band Spooner was signed by Chameleon Records in 1989, with distribution by EMD, then WEA, and finally Roadrunner. It was the only time I made any real money.  

Are you still involved with MadCity Music (record store)?  I sold the business in 2007, and it’s still going strong to this day.  

Who influenced you the most in your musical career?  My dad was a big Jazz fan and would often bring records home. I’ve lived through all the eras of Rock ‘n Roll, and I was knocked out by Eddie Cochran when I was young. The biggest influences were The Beatles and all the ‘60s Garage bands.  

How did the ghost particles come about?  In the fall of 2019, Joel Tappero mentioned to me that he was starting to work on some songs with Phil Davis. I told them I was interested, and we started to get things going. Then the pandemic hit that winter, so we switched gears, and all got the same Multi-Track software. Since we could no longer get together, we began recording via file-sharing. Don came on board fall of 2020. Jeremy Tappero did all the mixing and drums at his studio in Bloomington, MN. He currently plays bass with Soul Asylum. Lee Laski started as our new drummer in 2022, shortly after the first album was released in May of that year.  

Loved seeing you perform live. You played some new songs, what's the target date for that release?  We are just starting to record another new song. The target is to get the album out in 2024 sometime. There will probably be vinyl on this one.  

On Bandcamp it states, "Tracy Benton, bodhran on ‘Three Things,’" any relation? Sister.  

Tell me more about The Waterdogs. Not familiar with them. Are they still a band?  The Waterdogs were an instrumental Rock band active from 1984 to 2017. The other members were Lee Laski, Ernie Conner, John Hauser, and Don Irwin. Lee, Ernie, and Don were also playing with roots rockin’ The Rousers all that time. John Hauser came from Paul Black’s band. There were two Waterdogs albums, Live from 1986 (cassette only) and Thermal from 2000 (CD only). There was also a 7” single, “Hawaii 5-0/Theme From Spydog” in 1988.  

Any suggestions for new bands breaking into the business?  Just do what you love and maybe something will happen. Team up with a good songwriter and be there to lend your talents and serve their songs. And let go of your ego.  

Favorite tour?  Spooner was the only band that really toured, mainly in a ten-state area. We played as far west as Lawrence, KS, and east to NYC, where we played the Peppermint Lounge, and Metropole in Pittsburgh as well. All the rest of my bands were more regional.  

I used go to Merlyn's both nights when you played a weekend. However; the first time I saw you, you opened for The Cretones (my first visit to Merlyn's as well). What were some of your favorite Spooner moments?  The Merlyn’s gigs were usually special. There were some clubs we played fairly regularly where our following was sizable, Teddy’s in Milwaukee (now Shank Hall), The B&B in Oshkosh, Lefty’s in Green Bay, Fitzgerald’s in Berwyn, IL, and Tut’s in Chicago. We did a lot of openers. A few that stood out were Marshall Crenshaw in DeKalb, IL and Bloomington, IN; Question Mark &The Mysterians at Tut’s, The Police at Headliners in Madison, and Joe Ely at Fitzgerald’s. The shows on the UW campus were always great too, Great Hall and The Terrace.  

What’s your favorite song to perform live? Why?  For the ghost particles it would be “All The Love.”  

Beautiful song with a kick! How did that song come about?  Well, you’d have to ask Phil about any initial inspiration. He sent us the file of the basic structure and we all put it together. I played the fuzz guitar parts and the synth strings as well because Don wasn’t yet with us at that time. I also used an EBow on the break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXLlReHDkiE&t=9s  

What’s your favorite cover of another band?  Maybe “Mr. Tambourine Man,” because it’s so recent with ghost particles, or “Roadrunner “ (Modern Lovers), which Spooner did.  

You did a great version of "Tambourine Man." Loved Spooner's version of "Roadrunner" as well. Did you see Jonathan Richman when he played Merlyn's?  I did see JR at Merlyn’s, and at O’Cayz as well.  

Favorite venue to perform at?  Merlyn’s in Madison, 1979 to 1983.  

Who would you like to work with if you could?  I’d like to work with Duke Erikson again. We were working on recording some songs for which he wrote the music, and I wrote the lyrics, about six years ago. He became very busy with Garbage again.  

Would love to hear those songs! I’m hoping it will happen. What type of music?  All Pop/Rock songs, more like Spooner.  

When writing a song, what comes first, lyrics or melody?  I’m not really a prolific songwriter. With my long-running instrumental band The Waterdogs, I wrote everything on guitar, of course, and it was primarily lyrics with Spooner.  

If you could switch to any other type of music, what would it be? Why?  I love Reggae and the rhythmic possibilities, but that ain’t gonna happen.  

Any new bands you like or would recommend?  I listen to tons of music, both new and old. I think The National are great.  

Top Ten desert island discs? (10 albums you couldn’t live without.)  That’s a tough one, but here are some favorites off the top of my head. Love Forever Changes; Roxy Music (1st album); The National Boxer and High Violet;  Jackson Browne For Everyman; The Jayhawks Sound Of Lies and Smile; Beach Boys All Summer Long; Hawkwind Warrior On The Edge Of Time; Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section. Just the tip of my big iceberg there.  

Finish this sentence: I want to be remembered for…being fair and kind, and being a solid Garage-level guitarist. I hope you’ve learned a little more about Dave and why I think he’s a legend in the Madison music scene. You can see why I wanted to jump at the chance to learn more about him and his music. Be sure to check out his music below.

Mad City (1997)

I love a final confrontation in which a muscular hero blows the villain into a thousand pieces but sometimes I want more. Although the story Mad City tells is pretty obvious and you've likely seen it done before, probably better, it still works. It's a thriller whose solution to the final conflict can't be found at the end of a gun barrel, and a critique of broadcast news. It's tight and intense.

Max (Dusting Hoffman) is a has-been TV reporter who witnesses a disgruntled employee (John Travolta) take a group of schoolchildren hostage inside a museum. Literally in the middle of the biggest story the town's ever seen, Max begins influencing the gunman to his advantage.

There are a lot of individual pieces to keep track of and they’re all moving independently but also influencing each other. Max is not a likable character at first. He has little empathy for those around him, he's bitter and ruthless. Say what you will about his tactics and the way he not only endangers lives but arguably makes the hostage situation worse, he's an expert at what he does. You keep your eyes fixed on him because he knows the ins and outs of the TV reporting business. He always asks the right questions, knows where to put the camera, who to interview and what to do to make this “simple” hostage situation into a layered story. His character arc is predictable and obvious but entertaining and there's more to him than it seems at first.

While the strange game of chess is being played inside the museum, a lot is taking place outside. Everyone reporting the story is trying to act nice. They’re all pretending to be professionals, but the news people are snakes. Max isn't the only one who will embrace underhanded tactics, cut deals, fudge facts, or destroy someone's life to get the scoop. Though characters approach the realm of cartoon villainy, you can see and understand how they validate their actions. You’ve got Max trying to do one thing within. You’ve got the reporters on the outside taking a completely different approach because they don’t know the situation like the people on the front line do.

As time passes, the situation gets intense. The machinations of Max and the other reports keep you intrigued, as do the unveiling of the characters' true personalities. The plot compels you to keep watching. Have we seen scenarios like this before? Yes. That doesn’t make it less enticing. As the plot continues, your attitude towards the players will keep changing. Are you siding against Max? For a time, but that will change. Then you may suddenly find yourself on team Sam, then against him, and so forth.

Why anyone decided to call this film Mad City, I've no idea. It's neither memorable nor particularly evocative of the plot. While down the line I think anyone who sees this film will find a better version of it somewhere, in the meantime, it works. (On DVD, February 19, 2015)

Problematic Fave: Helia Moretti

Ele só tinha escolhido passar as férias na neve, porque sua família toda escolheu passar em uma praia e ele mesmo não queria que Sharon se sentisse pressionada a conhecer seus pais, irmãos caçulas e sobrinhos aquela altura do campeonato; então também tinha essa história de que Charles estava barbarizando com a namorada na Espanha e Arthur quase chamou a polícia pros dois, e de repente os Alpes Suíços se tornaram o destino perfeito.

Podia andar de snowboard e descansar, comer um monte de chocolate e aproveitar sua namorada longe dos olhos de todo mundo. Ele amava não ter nem uma preocupação além de vê-la feliz, carregar suas sacolas de compras nas lojas em volta e levá-la de volta quando ficava frio demais, porque era o arranjo perfeito de férias.

— A gente devia ter voltado mais cedo, seu rosto bonito quase congelou. — Helia sussurra com doçura assim que as portas do elevador se fecham e ele pode se aproximar da garota mais baixa, enchendo sua pele de beijos e prensando seu corpo menor com o dele, tranquilo, porque tinha fechado um andar inteiro de quartos para os dois, sem nem pensar na superlotação de turistas sem hospedagem que ele causou. — Mas eu vou cuidar de você, love. Prometo.

Porque ele amava mesmo cuidar dela. Fosse abrindo todas as portas pra ela passar, incluindo a do quarto, e então se oferecendo pra ajudá-la a se desfazer das várias camadas de roupa de frio, enquanto tomava o cuidado de ouvir o que ela tinha a dizer sobre o dia que eles tinham passado juntos e o que ela queria fazer no dia seguinte, e ainda assim distribuindo beijos por seu rosto e pescoço de um jeito que deveria ser involuntário, mas não era.

Seu pau ficava duro a cada peça de roupa que tirava do corpo da morena, e ficava cada vez mais difícil de ignorar o quanto ele a queria ao observar seu rosto ainda corado e seu sorriso fofo, falando sobre coisas que ele só fazia concordar, porque todos os seus pensamentos estavam em todas as suas curvas e volumes e o quanto ele precisava de tudo aquilo nu.

— Eu vou cuidar de tudo… — Ele diz, abraçando por trás, fazendo questão de esfregar sua ereção vestida na bunda dela, antes de mover as mãos pra barra da última blusa que a garota estava usando. — Do meu jeito.

E envolvia, claro, tirar aquela peça também e apertar aqueles seios nas mãos grandes até ouvir ela suspirar, beliscando e espremendo os bicos entre os dedos do jeito que ele sabia que ela gostava, antes de mover as mãos para a meia-calça de Bunmi e rasgar de uma vez só, aproveitando o passe livre pra esfregar a mancha molhada por cima de sua calcinha. Tocando o tecido úmido com os dedos, ao empurrar para o lado também.

— Você é tão gostosa, você é perfeita e meu entretenimento favorito. — Ele insere um e depois dois dedos dentro dela, usando a mão livre pra segurá-la perto de seu cacete duro, que ela faz questão de dar atenção esfregando a bunda nele. É o momento que ele se deixa relaxar, aproveitando a umidade dela nos dedos, ouvindo aqueles gemidos deliciosos enquanto sente a calça ficar mais apertada e úmida por causa dela, porque sabe que as coisas vão ficar intensas assim que ela pedir, com jeitinho e com a carinha de puta mais linda, pra ele fazer logo o que quer fazer.

Porque nada o deixa tão fraco do que ouvi-la implorar e formar um beicinho nos lábios, querendo que ele faça alguma coisa, que ele a tome ali e agora, choramingando pra ser fodida feito a vagabunda que ela é. Só dele.

— Eu vou cuidar de você, love. Eu vou cuidar tão bem de você.

Parece que leva só um segundo pra ele carregá-la até a cama enorme, acomodar seu corpo trêmulo entre os travesseiros fofos e ele mesmo se livrar das próprias roupas antes de atacar os lábios de Sharon com toda a força de um homem faminto, a beijando como se não fizesse isso por dias, antes de descer os lábios por seu corpo e chupar seus peitos com uma necessidade igual ou maior. Não ia ficar satisfeito até deixar os dois marcados e escorrendo sua saliva, marcando um território que além de ser seu, era uma de suas partes favoritas dela.

— Eu nunca vou me cansar, love… — Declara em um tom falsamente doce, terminando de rasgar as meias com força, seguidas da calcinha encharcada, a revelação de sua buceta vazando fazendo ele suspirar. — Eu nunca vou me cansar de você.

Como se cansar do gosto dela assim que ele afunda o rosto entre suas pernas macias? Ela tem gosto de luxúria, doçura pura e deixa ele viciado e dependente mais cada vez que usa uma das mãos pra manter a cabeça dele no lugar, deixando ele chupar, sugar e lamber cada centímetro e curva sensível como se fosse uma recompensa por ele ser tão bom pra ela. É sobre como ela geme alto e sua buceta fica ainda mais molhada, praticamente o obrigando a agarrar suas coxas com força pra ele conseguir beber cada gota, penetrando a língua no buraco quente enquanto o nariz bate bem cima do clitóris dela, antes de lamber tudo e prender a boca no botão sensível. É sobre como ela geme que vai gozar e começa a se esfregar na cara dele sem apego algum, porque é tão bom.

É sobre como ela goza e vaza por toda boca dele, dando exatamente o que ele queria, depois de ter feito tanto pra merecer, tão feliz por ter conseguido que só consegue beijar a pele de suas coxas com o sorriso mais convencido e presunçoso de todos.

— Eu nunca vou me cansar de fazer você ficar assim, love. — Helia sussurra ao se erguer na cama, se livrando da cueca e deixando seu pau duro sair e bater contra seu abdômen, pulsando e vazando com a visão da buceta dela. — Porque você ainda tem tanto pra me dar.

Helia nem a deixa pensar que vai usar a boca nele agora, tem outros planos ao puxar as pernas dela pro final da cama antes de dobrar seus joelhos e penetrar seu buraco de uma vez só, sentindo toda a plenitude deliciosa de arrombar uma buceta tão apertada e quente quanto aquela, que o aperta e suga pro fundo com força como se ele fosse embora. Mesmo depois de todas as vezes que ele tinha socado lá dentro, sua namorada ainda gritava e choramingava do jeito mais manhoso, enquanto o apertava por dentro. É uma delícia olhar para baixo e ver como seu pau estica ela, reivindicando sua buceta a cada estocada lenta e funda, que ele faz questão de empurrar até o fundo e não sobrar nem um centímetro de fora, soltando um gemido profundo e rouco com o jeito que ela o prende e implora.

— Você quer forte, sua vagabunda? — Toda a aura de namorado doce e cuidadoso foi embora, assim que ele desce um tapa estalado no rosto dela e só sente ela ficar mais molhada. — Já tá chorando só de pegar minha pica nessa sua buceta apertadinha assim, você quer mais, puta?

Ele só precisa sentir ela o apertando mais uma vez, pra começar a martelar fundo e rápido no mesmo instante, deixando as bolas baterem em sua bunda todas as vezes, porque ele ama o som imundo que aquilo faz e como ela revira os olhos com quão forte está sendo fodida por ele. Como ele ama a visão dos seios dela pulando com a força das estocadas e como ela não sabe escolher entre segurar as pernas abertas ou segurar os lençois pra se segurar. Parece quase criminoso não azer o que ela quer, e é por isso que ele faz.

Mesmo depois dela gozar e chorar e tremer, ele só a vira de costas e continua metendo nela, tão forte e rápido quanto antes, ficando satisfeito só ouvindo os gemidos dela e pedidos pra ele continuar e ir cada vez mais fundo. Porque ela quer e aguenta e precisa dele daquele jeito, tanto que mesmo depois de se desfazer de novo, ainda aguenta sentar em cima dele e levar outra surra de rola por cima.

— Que putinha gulosa você é, Sharon. — Ele diz com um sorriso convencido, sentindo a namorada quase desistindo de continuar sentando em cima dele, mesmo gemendo que quer muito e precisando das mãos dele em sua cintura. — Mas sabe quem tem mais vontade do que você?

Ele, claro, que jamais ia resistir a sua garota toda bonita e disponível em cima dele, ao prender ainda mais as mãos nos quadris dela antes de começar a estocar pra cima, fundo e forte como antes, pro prazer dela e o dele também, que não consegue se segurar ao beijá-la com tanta vontade quanto enquanto acerta lá dentro e onde ela mais precisa.

É em momentos assim que ele entende que se afastar nas férias era sobre não ter que dividir ela com ninguém, também.
