Cult Film Follower Blue Velvet deserves to be in the Top 10 (“New Cult Classics,” Cover Story,

Nights of the Oingo Boingo. (The soundtrack alone by Danny Elfman is worth buying) This film would need its own category: Obscure of the Obscure. It’s pretty out there.

It’s hard to come by, and used to be almost impossible to rent or buy but definitely worth rediscovering in my opinion, especially with all the hype now surrounding retro ’80s culture.

I could watch it a hundred times in a row. It just never gets old.

The Bonds That Tie The local bail bond industry has taken aim at a county program that lets people get out of jail for free. A desk inside the jail interviews newly-arrested inmates to determine whether they are ight risks.The ones who pass muster are recommended to a judge to be released through the “Own Recognizance Release Programâ€? (ORP). Others who want the criminal justice system knowing less about their family and ďŹ nances—or who want faster service—can pay a bondsman. A group calling itself California Coalition for Pretrial Accountability is now building a war chest and “intends to lobby key decision makersâ€? to eliminate ORP and other pre-trial services. County Supervisor GEORGE SHIRAKAWA recently urged the San Jose City Council to think twice about tightening regulations on bail bond ofďŹ ces.

Fellow supe DAVE CORTESE, a long-time benefactor of the bondies’ campaign money, is also part of the coalition’s friends Don’t list. That could come in forget handy for a Cortese 2014 to tip! mayoral run, which carries a seven-ďŹ gure price FLY@ tag these days. Local WS. METRONEWS. COM lobbyist and former RON GONZALES cash handler ASH PIRAYOU has linked up with union-friendly political consultants TOM SAGGAU and DUSTIN DEROLLO on the anti-OPR team. Their argument is that posting bond ensures that more people will show up for their court dates. Bad Boys Bail Bonds owner JEFF STANLEY has taken the lead in the coalition’s statewide push, personally contributing at least 20k.

Meanwhile, Stanley’s company, the state’s second largest, tossed in between $2,500 and $5,000. A couple years ago, San Jose voted on limiting bail bond ofďŹ ces. In that matter, Councilmember MADISON NGUYEN preferred a more laissez-faire approach.

Ever the gentleman, Stanley graciously 9 contributed $10,000 to her successful 2009 anti-recall campaign.

When word of the raw milk crackdown got out, a bevy of highproďŹ le lawyers offered to represent the raw foodies pro bono, says Rawesome member Lela Buttery, 29. San Jose State University grad Christopher Darden,

who helped prosecute O. J. Simpson, appeared at Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arraignment just in time to lower his bail from the $121,000 that prosecutors had recommended to $30,000, and to strike a rarely used clause that would have prevented Stewart from employing a bail bondsman.

Buttery tells me the mood in the courtroom was almost comical when Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial $121,000 bail was announced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been watching child molesters and wife beaters get half that amount. James is accused of things like processing milk without pasteurization, and he gets such a high bail amount. The felons in court burst out laughing.â&#x20AC;?

Rawesome began 12 years ago as a small group of raw-milk drinkers who occasionally pooled their money and bought unpasteurized milk from local dairies. As more and more people joined, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distribution facilities grew from a cooler in a parking lot to a rented storage space to the current warehouse. The inventory diversiďŹ ed, but the presentation

issued a voluntary recall, four months after people began getting sick, of 36 million pounds of ground turkey traceable to an Arkansas plant. Cargill has a history of deadly outbreaks, is a major supplier to the nation’s publicschool meal programs and sells turkey under dozens of brand names, none of which include the word “Cargill.”

The labels at Rawesome don’t say much either, but records in the club’s office sourced each batch of raw milk. This information, before it was seized, was available to members. If a contamination issue were to have flared up, members contend, it could have been much more quickly traced than, say, that Cargill turkey. Buttery says that in 12 years there hasn’t been a reported problem.

Yet despite a lack of victims, Rawesome stands accused. And while Cargill has no shortage of victims, nobody at the company has been charged with a crime over the turkey recall. The government has fewer options against multinational corporations than it does against neighborhood food co-ops. The Department of Agriculture oversees the safety of meat products but can only encourage “voluntary recalls” of products that have been infected with antibiotic-resistant pathogens, reports Tom Philpott in Mother Jones. The final decision to recall was left to the company, which inevitably considered the bottom line as well as public safety when making its decision.

While Cargill self-polices, the Rawesome club has been under more intense scrutiny than members even realized. “Since the raid, it’s come out that we’ve been under investigation since June 30 of last year,” Buttery says.

“They’ve been monitoring us from unmarked vehicles. They have agents who have become members.”

Despite massive financial problems in California and Washington, D.C., the government was able to find enough money for a multi-year, multiagency undercover investigation to root out information that nobody was trying to hide. Details on the provenance of Rawesome’s raw milk is available to all members, including the government spies.

As for Stewart’s legal battle, the DA has added tax evasion and money laundering to the charges. In the meantime, Stewart and his associates are prohibited from having anything to do with the sale of raw milk.

remained minimal: food in piles, haphazardly labeled, as agreed on by club members.

Rawesome members sign a form attesting that “as a member of this private members-only club, I demand access to food that is (1) produced without exposure to chemical contaminants such as industrialized pesticides, fertilizers, cleansers or their gases; (2) complete with its natural unadulterated enzymes intact; (3) may contain microbes, including but not limited to salmonella, E. coli, campylobacter, listeria, gangrene and parasites; (4) the cows are grass-fed and the goats are pastured on a regular basis; (5) fowl are regularly given the opportunity to range outdoors and not fed soy products; and (6) eggs are unwashed and may have bacteria and poultry feces on them.”

The Aug. 3 raid was not Rawesome’s first. A June 2010 raid resulted in seizures of cash, computers and other equipment that has yet to be returned, Buttery says. It also resulted in Rawesome’s agreement not to distribute raw milk from Santa Paula– based Healthy Family Farms, which had been supplying it to members.

With the prohibition against selling to Rawesome, Healthy Family Farms owner Sharon Palmer, 51, disbanded her dairy herd. Palmer and her employee Victoria Bloch, 58, were also arrested Aug. 3 on charges related to marketing chicken products, one count of which involved Rawesome’s unwashed, room-temperature eggs.

California is one of the few states to allow the sale of raw milk, but only from dairies permitted by the state.

Until Aug. 3, Rawesome had been obtaining raw milk from a variety of sources. Buttery says many club members object to the Holstein breed used by the one certified raw-milk label in California. Organic Pastures.

They prefer milk from heirloom cattle varieties that produce different proteins. And many members prefer the milk of goats, sheep or even camels. It’s safe to say that uncertified raw milk was being spilt at Rawesome, which would indeed be illegal. But since the general public can’t just walk in and buy raw camel milk, Rawesome members believe there’s nothing wrong with a private club of consenting adults obtaining unpasteurized raw milk together.

Later that day as Stewart, Palmer and Bloch languished in jail, Cargill

Social Manufacturing With Sandy

Walking Dead: HP Builds More TouchPads Hewlett-Packard may have killed the TouchPad, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to continue manufacturing it for just a little while longer.

In the early 1980s, there were many gods of Silicon Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robert Noyce, David Packard, Steve Wozniak, Jerry Sanders, Nolan Bushnell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only one goddess. I remember when she came to speak to a college class at UC Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now-defunct Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurial Development, and talked about starting ASK Computer Systems in her spare bedroom while raising kids.

Like many company founders Sandra Kurtzig cashed out and retired. She lived the good life in Hawaii.

But now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back with a venturefunded enterprise software startup.

Not that she needed the money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she could easily angel-fund herself.

Nonetheless, Kleiner Perkins CauďŹ eld & Byers on Sand Hill Road threw

With demand for the heavily discounted tablet still running high, HP has decided to produce one one last run before sending it off to a ďŹ nal dirt nap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;HP will be manufacturing a limited quantity of TouchPads with webOS during our fourth ďŹ scal quarter 2011, which ends October 31,â&#x20AC;? the company said in an update posted to its Next Bench Blog.

And why not? Presumably, HPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upstream suppliers are unhappily sitting atop big piles of component inventory.

What would HP do with it otherwise? If the demand is there and the inventory is prepped and paid for, why not produce another run â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if the company intends to continue to update webOS. So even in death, the Touchpad lives on thanks to that $99

$10.5 million in ďŹ rst round funding to get her attention, and sent out a big press release this week.

According to the mythmaking machine now spinning in full gear, she was talked out of retirement

by Marc Benioff, a neighbor who just happens to be Salesforce.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I checked my bucket list, and coming out of retirement to run another company wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on it,â&#x20AC;?

Kurtzig claims to have told Benioff.

The company will do for manufacturing management what social networking did for everything else we do, hopefully without the time-wasting component. The company will be known by the snappy moniker Kenandy, which coincidentally matches the names of her two kids, without a space in between. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By building the core manufacturing applications on a social platform, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing the structure to use the new tools of social media and collaboration for greater efďŹ ciencies in global supply chain networks,â&#x20AC;?

Kurtzig said. Blah, blah, blah.

In any event, Silicon Valley has a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? company with a celebrity at its helm. Good luck, Sandy.

Watch out Oracle and SAP. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DAN PULCRANO, SV411

So why did Cisco buy Versly?

B@E;8 HL8@EK EFN AXZb\k g_fkf ]ifd _\i (00+ Yffb XYflk Yl`c[`e^ X +'' d`cc`fe ZfdgXep%

Cisco Systems announced Monday that it was buying a little-known collaboration software company, Versly, for an undisclosed amount.

Versly makes it easy to collaborate inside the Microsoft OfďŹ ce products, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear who its customers are. The way I see it, this is more of a talent and knowledge acquisition vs. a product/market focused acquisition.

Moammar Wants to Inspect Your Packet Once again, technology figured both in a dictator’s suppression machine and his downfall. France, China and South Africa all supplied Moammar Gadhafi’s regime with equipment that allowed the dictator to engage in wholesale spying on Libyan citizens.

Gadhafi’s 2009 purchase of “deep packet inspection” technology from the French firm Amesys gave the Libyan government data mining, eavesdropping and censorship capabilities. <K<J$MFLJ JLIGI@J6 K_\ jXd\ Zflekip k_Xk jfc[ JX[[Xd X elZc\Xi i\XZkfi gifm`[\[ >X[[XÓ n`k_ jgp k\Z_efcf^p% believers that broadband-based collaboration is a transformational idea for companies and individuals.

The San Jose, Calif.-based routing giant made collaboration a big area of focus when it bought WebEx and a slew of other companies. However, its collaboration plans have fallen short of its target.

Many of Cisco’s competitors—for instance, Google and Salesforce— are pretty far along in their efforts, and Cisco needs to catch up. It seems Cisco is looking to jump-start its efforts, and for that, it needs a team with deep understanding of collaboration and software-as-aservice business model.

I would rate this acquisition a “B+” for Cisco. Versly seems to be a good start, thanks to a pretty good group of executives who will soon be joining Cisco. That said, I do think Cisco needs more than just this team. — OM MALIK © 2011 GigaOm http://gigaom.com/

Amesys bragged on its own website that it gave its customers the ability to “record, store, analyze and display in real time information. This system is able to monitor a wide range of protocols, including mail, voice over IP (VoIP), webmail, chat, web browsing.”

Speaking to The Next Web, Human Rights Watch activist, Heba Morayef. said: “All Libyans knew that there was widespread and consistent surveillance of anything resembling political activity, even at the most basic level. What the Internet created was a false sense of security so people wouldn’t speak to me on the phone, but they would speak to me on Facebook, which was ironic because they knew there was was consistent Internet monitoring.

There were cases of prisoners, called ‘Internet Prisoners,’ who had been arrested because of their activities on Facebook, or cases where people, especially journalists, who were called in for questioning because of stuff they had published on the internet.”

Unfortunately, all those good vibes could vanish by the end of Week One, when SJSU makes its way to the Farm to take on Heisman Trophy frontrunner ANDREW LUCK and the No. 7ranked Stanford Cardinal. Only a junior, Luck would have been the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft this past spring had he decided to follow former Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh to the pros. Instead, Luck opted to stay in school to once again be BMOC (Big Man on Campus) while making a run at a national championship.

The quarterback contrast is stark, considering Luck is already being hailed by some experts as the best college quarterback ever, while Spartans signal caller Matt Faulkner, a senior, has never even started a game. SJSU will basically have to play perfectly to have a chance of winning (combined with Stanford shitting the bed).

In the past, several SJSU coaches have played up the David vs. Goliath angle, with some even going so far as to call it a case of class warfare, where the haves and have-nots do battle on the gridiron. Football coaches are notorious for overstating the magnitude of the moment for motivation, but MacIntyre

wouldn’t be wrong in telling his players that a victory would be one of the biggest upsets of this college football season.

Playoffs?! Playoffs?!

“Well, I believe in the hanging curve ball ... [I believe] that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.”

And I believe that quote, from the minor-league-baseball movie Bull Durham, is one of the best speeches ever uttered in a sports flick. (Anyone who prefers Kevin Costner asking his ghost dad to play catch in Field of Dreams is a sap. But we love that one too, so whatever.)

There’s only one week left in the regular season for the Single-A SAN JOSE GIANTS. After that it’s playoff time, and Los Gigantes will be chasing a third straight California League title. Until then, it might be worth taking in a leisurely ballgame at Municipal Stadium between Friday and Tuesday, when the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are in town. If fans want to see the games that really matter, though, playoff tickets are currently on at sjgiants.com, or by calling 408.297.1435, ext. 15.—Josh Koehn

From out on the street, no one realizes an 800-square-foot piano studio sits above the restaurant.

No signage appears in the window.

Both the pizza place and the cafe next door rent a space in the same building, but upstairs, above both, lies the original outpost of a music school Shin founded in 2004. As we ascend the staircase, chopping sounds from the cutting boards of Pizza My Heart seem to emanate from beneath us.

Originally from Korea, Shin grew up with four siblings, her father was a minister and she wound up in the Music Department at San Jose State University, beginning in the early ’90s. While her cousins went to more prestigious institutions like

Juilliard, she put herself through college while making enough from her piano students to pay the rent.

She never originally had any plans to open her own music school. She says everything just unfolded in certain ways. Beginning with no business plan whatsoever, she winged it, learning the ropes as she went along.

“I feel like I’m an accidental entrepreneur,” she tells me. “I didn’t really have a big interest in wanting to be successful. I wasn’t too happy teaching out of my own home and always practicing. I felt like I wanted to try something else. It was not what I expected. Being a business owner was way more work than I ever envisioned. It was a huge growth process. But as other schools came and went, I realized there was a demand for an idea like this.”

When she first opened the spot above Pizza My Heart, it was all Christine. Bringing her 25 students along with her, she had a Kawai baby grand piano and a spinet moved

up the stairs and into the studio.

She acquired cheap furniture and the business was born. “I brought everything with me,” she said. “I was the CEO, the CFO and the janitor.”

Now, in 2011, the New Mozart School has two Palo Alto locations and 500 students. Many of them are quite young. Early-youth music education is now Shin’s forte. “My focus has shifted,” she explains.

“When I began, I came from an artist’s perspective. I offered classes that I personally thought were cool—I like flamenco, so I invited my friends to come and teach flamenco guitar—but at some point, you have to make a decision as to what’s viable in terms of business.”

The school’s approach includes the Harmony Road group class curriculum, where students as young as three can learn keyboard skills, solfege singing, ear training, rhythm activities and, even better, improvisation and composition.

Those last two are unique to the New Mozart School, since almost all other programs of early-youth music education brutally dismiss any creative component of the education.

Shin’s story is inspiring because it doesn’t conform to the normal path.

She wasn’t a business major. She went to music school. The business skills came later. “You cannot have all your ducks in a row,” she tells me. “Whatever situation you’re in, you make the best of it. If I had gone to business school, I don’t think I would have ever started New Mozart. I would have realized how much work it was. And I would never have done it.”

Shin lives with her husband and 9-year-old son in Los Gatos. New Mozart is still a brick-and-mortar business, but the children keep showing up for lessons.

“Being a mom and being really passionate about early childhood music education, I’m really glad we have trained teachers who focus on that,” she says. “And we have kids from some really big-name families in Silicon Valley. I won’t name names, but you’d recognize them.”

All in all, it’s a great place to practice polyphony over a pizza.

There are also some hidden gems—the dishes from a chef ’s grandmother’s hometown or a flash of brilliance beyond the normal beet salad or shrimp with garlic. If you’re willing to dig a little, Palo Alto offers Chinese food that’s anything but ordinary.

There are two brave outposts of regional Chinese cooking on El Camino Real that offer broad menus that warrant thorough investigation.

Faced with the power of nostalgia and inexpensive carbohydrates, why would restaurants swing toward authentic regional Chinese? These traditional cuisines can be challenging. Spices are bold, textures can be peculiar. But today’s desire for new tastes, as well as a significant local Chinese population, have lead to a welcome influx of traditional Chinese flavors.

Both restaurants are near the Palo Alto/Mountain View border and serve quirky, lengthy menus rich in regional specialties and reasonable prices.

Su Hong Palo Alto broke away from old-school Chinese-American style in the 1980s. Su Hong Menlo Park has a long history, but its Palo Alto location was known for a secret Chinese menu, including excellent crab dumplings and other Shanghai treats.

When Su Hong Menlo Park moved to its new location at 4256 El Camino Real, the restaurant unfurled its regional pride, adding Shanghai specialties to the English-language menu. Traces of the old Su Hong

remain, such as the Trader Vic–style pu pu platter ($14.95), now nearly a historic artifact in its own right, and an unused full bar.

The Shanghai xao long bao (soup dumplings, $7.50) were good but ultimately underwhelming due to a slight lack of spice, thicker skins than the best and the mediocre soup could use improvement, but the lion’s head in clay pot ($15.95) was a true winner.

The dish was sumptuous, with the meatballs swimming in a rich fatty gravy and greens stewed to tender perfection.

Su Hong dedicates an entire section of the menu to hand-shaved noodles.

The family-style, stir-fried, hand-shaved noodles ($8.50) I tried lacked some of the snap and bite of what I’ve loved in China, but Su Hong should be praised for even adding the dish to the menu.

Overall, Su Hong’s ingredients and execution are high quality, but the kitchen seems a bit distracted by the half of the restaurant enjoying mu shu pork and Mongolian beef.

The food is served in the authentic Chinese style, which encourages assertive action because the waiters never interrupt your conversation to ask if the meal is to your liking. When you have their attention, service is enthusiastic.

different pedigree. Da Sichuan was previously a storefront in Fremont, a favorite city for humble, inexpensive and tasty regional-cooking specialists.

Fremont brims with similar understated restaurants, so Da Sichuan crossed the Dumbarton Bridge seeking opportunity and a less crowded market for authentic Sichuan cuisine.

The service at Da Sichuan is exemplary. The menu’s English translations leave much to be desired, so help is necessary. Simply point out what you’re looking for among the Sichuan dishes. On a recent visit, our waiter steered me to the “spicy fish fillet,” ($15.95) an exceptional dish of mashed Sichuan peppercorn ladled over a very large pile of fish fillets.

Lamb Lam with cumin ($12.95) was a less tasty affair with the cumin taste not as vibrant as necessary to overcome vib lamb of only moderate quality. The Chongqing hot pot ($12.95) wasn’t Chon true h hot pot, with raw meats available for cooking in the numbing broth, co but a more bastardized version closer to a traditional Sichuan boiled beef.

The broth lacked a little depth and richness, but was quite pleasant, and I would order this again with beef and lamb, instead of the fish our server recommended.

A true standout was the dry-spice intestine ($8.95) cooked with a large amount of the explosively bright yet numbing spice. The dish would best be described as calamari meets pork churros.

Da Sichuan seems more a labor of love than a business. The owners are there every night, talking to customers in Mandarin, making friends, circulating among the 10 tables.

The misses come simply from lapses caused by low-quality ingredients. The ubiquitous fish fillet tasted as if it had been previously frozen and sometimes has a peculiar off taste. I’ll keep going back when I’m ready for a challenge and something new.

August marked 40 years of business for the Happy Hound, an occasion the restaurant celebrated with a live band and 75-cent hot dogs. “It was crazy,” said employee and family friend David Michaels. “We had lines out into the street.”

The restaurant began as the Happy Hound Dog in Danville, Calif.

In 1968, owner Dorothy Dresslar served a menu of just hot dogs, potato chips and soda pop. She sold the business to her ex-husband, Hugh Dresslar, who opened in Los Gatos in 1971. Dresslar’s son, Dan Dresslar, has been running the business for the past 20 years. Dan Dresslar and his family live right behind the restaurant off Los Gatos Boulevard.

The top sellers are the hot dogs. Michaels said they’re made to the restaurant’s specifications, but he wouldn’t reveal who makes them.

“I can’t tell you that. That’s a secret.”

It would be a stretch to call the Happy Hound slow fast food, but the restaurant does stand apart from its big-name fast-food competitors. The burgers, chicken and hot dogs all arrive fresh, never frozen. “Our vendors know we don’t serve crap to our customers,” said Michaels. “We don’t use the types of frozen junk and low quality that other people use. I can’t even put us in the same category as a McDonald’s or a Jack in the Box.” And if you like French fries, the Happy Hound is for you. They’re just what you want in a fry: thin, crispy outside and moist inside. You can also get them in industrial-size quantities. A large order weighs in at two pounds. “It’s an abundance of fries,” Michaels admitted.

Over the years, the restaurant has dabbled in franchising the business, but Michaels said the quality never met the family’s standards so they shut them down. For now one location is enough.

“It’s working and we’re not going change it,” he said.

The United Front’s Turtle, Concept iTrakmind, Bakus and DJ Nykwill will perform live, In particular, Turtle and Bakus (two-thirds of the Learning Curve crew) are trippers on the mic, sporting influences that range from Dan the Automator and Del tha Funkee Homosapien to the Pixies and Radiohead. Careless Hearts and Town Crier open. If that wasn’t enough, this week’s show also features Lomo & Asol (aka L&A Music) from Portland and San Jose’s FreeFall crew. (SP)

THEM RUDE BOYZ Blank Club, San Jose Wed – 9pm; free There’s an entire generation who discovered reggae-punk mostly through Sublime, but years before Jah Won’t Pay the Bills, this hybrid genre produced one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time, D.C.’s Bad Brains. They’re the musical reference point for San Jose’s Them Rude Boyz, who combine the rhythm of Jamaica’s number one export with the sheer adrenaline of punk rock. More importantly, TRB uses the simple, direct style of reggae advocacy to cut through punk’s sarcasm and punch up its political potency. (SP)

LIL WAYNE Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View Fri – 7pm; $29.75-$89.75 If Kanye and Jay-Z have the throne, Lil Wayne is about the only rapper who can take it. Last week, he seemed in the mood for a good usurping when he leaked “It’s Good,” which takes a shot at Jay-Z. The only question is how long Weezy can hold up. He’s promised to finally drop the long-promised fourth installment of Tha Carter this week, but has also said this might be his last album. Still, he’s hotter than ever after his previous tour with Nicki Minaj was stirring up controversy nightly. Even his skateboarding booboos are national news now. “It ain’t

*sat TESS DUNN

Streetlight Records, San Jose Sat – 1pm; free There’s lots of intelligence, spirit and tensile strength, the Lesley Goreness in Tess Dunn’s young voice: a plain-spokenness that fits the songs of breakups accompanied by percussiony piano. The 15-year-old Santa Cruzan’s talent is showcased in Darling Just Walk. Dunn’s backstory (a struggle over a terribly debilitating disease) is less

important than what’s up front: the kind of toughness that got her a berth on the Van’s Warped Tour, and a repertoire of songs about “skulls and hearts and crossbones”. (Note: occasional Metro contributor Geoffrey Dunn is her father, but I had no idea about that when I heard the music.)

This show is in conjunction with the South Bay Record Swap in the parking lot; the line-up also includes Chick Jagger and the Falling Rocks and Blonde Summer.

INCUBUS which came to an abrupt end last year when he got canned for tinkering too much with the commercially successful TBS formula. Perhaps the best revenge is recording well; in almost no time, Fazzi was out of the gate with Dreams of Water, the first record from his new project, the South Bay-based Happy Body Slow Brain. It’s better than anything his previous band has ever done, and totally unexpected in its synthdrenched atmospherics. Though rockers like “Emperor” and “The Bridge” have some echoes of Fazzi’s past work, he displays a range and vocal talent that was previously under the radar. While TBS may have wanted Fazzi to re-create the past, but with HBSB, he’s looking ahead. (SP)

ALASTAIR GREENE Poor House Bistro, San Jose Sat – 6pm; free Santa Barbara blues-rocker Alastair Greene is best known for being a favorite of Alan Parsons, but if that’s all you know, you’d never guess how heavy this guy can get.

The novel’s intricate plotting and large cast of characters are necessarily condensed to focus on the Dashwood sisters and their affairs of the heart as they navigate the rigid social mores of early-19thcentury England. Turned out of their home in Sussex after the death of their father, the sisters move to a Devonshire cottage where their flighty, gossipy old Aunt Jennings (a composite of several characters from the novel, played comically by Stacy Ross) introduces them to Col. Brandon (Mark Anderson Phillips) and Mr. Willoughby (Michael Scott McLean).

J\ej\ Xe[ J\ej`Y`c`kp Runs through Sept. 18; $19–$69 Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts

Passionate, impetuous Marianne Dashwood (Katie Fabel) is smitten with the dashing Willoughby, while Brandon vies for her affection in his own awkward way.

Meanwhile, her more reserved and levelheaded sibling, Elinor (Jennifer Le Blanc), cherishes a quiet adoration for Edward Ferrars (Thomas Gorrebeeck) despite the man’s engagement to another woman (Lucy Littlewood).

Director Robert Kelley clearly has a firm grasp of Jane Austen’s wit and humor, and the cast performs wonderfully, with Le Blanc and Fabel especially endearing in their scenes together. The production drips with atmosphere and period charm, most arrestingly in Joe Ragey’s imaginative set design. His projected backdrops, whether of London’s Georgian architecture or John Constable’s idyllic country landscapes, perfectly set the mood for each scene. Fumiko Bielefeldt’s exquisite period costumes are another valuable contribution, with the elegant Empire silhouettes of the women and the breeches and tailcoats of the men greatly enhancing the visual presentation.

Adding still further to the ambiance are a number of songs—not modern show tunes but popular English songs from Austen’s time by such composers as Charles Dibdin and William Shield. Selected from sheet music from the Austen household that Jane herself had copied by hand, these musical numbers are some of the play’s finest moments. While die-hard Austen fans might not wholly approve of the story’s simplification, they (and indeed anyone) should delight in this well-acted and lavishly staged production.—Sean Conwell

All she has to do is look around her: in her opinion, her parents’ f lat is a goldfish bowl, a place of boredom and entrapment, meant

to be slowly filled with waste.

The Hedgehog is filmed partially from Paloma’s POV. She stalks her family with a camera, whispering like David Attenborough trying not to spook a leopard. Her older sister is named, redundantly, Colombe (chances are a third child would have been called Dove). With some accuracy, Colombe calls her younger sister “an intolerant and depressive little person.”

Paloma films her mother, who tends to croon more to her houseplants than she does to her daughter. And she lurks at dinner parties; harvesting the dullness of eavesdropped anecdotes, such a therapist’s judgment upon on a patient’s dream of losing her teeth:

“Madame, a Freudian would call it a dream of death.”

The five-unit building has a concierge, Renée. She’s slightly shapeless, with a quantity of selftrimmed hair; when she sweeps it up it looks as if she’s growing her own beret. She has a wart on the forehead like a third eye. We watch her making tea for herself, resting her tired arms on an oilcloth-covered table. It’s her time out to read some serious fiction.

The hedgehog of the title is played

by Josiane Belasko. We get Belasko rationed in pitiful doses in America.

One serving a decade or so, it seems.

In French Twist, Belasko played the embodiment of lesbian charisma as she seduced Victoria Abril. Years before, in Bertand Blier’s Too Beautiful for You, she was the plain but cuddly mistress whose qualities turned Gerard Depardieu’s head from Carole Bouquet (and note that Bouquet was herself arguably the most beautiful woman ever to play a Bond girl).

She has presence, Belasko, and she

has even more gravity now that she’s older: a widow running the building, always polite but never chummy.

Anyone with enough French to get themselves into trouble knows that “janitor” (as the subtitles insist) is a too-limited translation of “concierge.”

They do more than mop up. They deliver the mail, keep an eye on the place. It’s Renée’s duty to make sure a new tenant (played by Togo Igawa) gets settled. He’s a Japanese gentleman called Ozu (no relation to the director, he explains).

He surprises Renée with a comment about all happy families being alike. Without thinking, Renée gives the Tolstoy countersign: “And all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” Ozu turns out to be as good as he looks: a gentleman, a scholar and a reader. A demure, hesitant friendship between the characters begins.

The feature debut of director Mona Achache sometimes has as much edge as a brioche, and the soundtrack swamps the tender mood. Still, “elegance” was the word used to describe the correct middle-aged woman in the title of the source novel by Muriel Barbery.

Elegant isn’t a bad word for Belasko, stocky and tough as she is.

Achache spices the film with a little cinematic nostalgia (a clip from the real Ozu’s 1953 The Munekata Sisters) and some partial animation (Paloma likes to draw cartoons with a sumi brush) as well as a pinch of magical realism. (Or is it magic? The plumbing in those old buildings can be unpredictable.) The Hedgehog seems particularly recommendable to those bright female teens who, among all demographics, are especially badly served by the movies of today.

Paloma’s own dream of death and her resolution of that dream, is actually not far from the lightly macabre, civilized date movie Harold and Maude—this is like H and M without the shtick. It plays with that idea that every eclectic and sensible young person considers suicide, and most likely outgrows the urge.

Zombies on the Move SUMMER is cresting, and the time is ripe—and so are the zombies, rotting away at sundown in San Jose’s SoFA district this Wednesday (Aug. 31) for Zombie-O-Rama.

The zombie makeup sessions get started at noon at Slave Labor Graphics, while the crawl itself begins at 6pm (with a special 6:15pm family-friendly Young Zombies Parade). Brass Hysteria provides music at 7:15pm, and the costume contest begins at 9pm, followed by a fashion show. After the 9:30pm screening of Fido, the crawl will keep on lurching through downtown San Jose. (Full disclosure: Metro is one of the sponsors of the event.) Be sure to bring something for the food drive.

As zombies need something to mill around, the focus of the gathering is a free outdoor screening that ends the summer’s Starlight Cinema series on a seriously high note.

2007’s Fido is the best zom-com you’ve never heard of—a notably intelligent and entertaining sleeper from Canada. At heart, director Andrew Currie’s Fido is about the walking dead chomping people, so have no fear. You’ll get your gore, even though that’s not all the movie is all about. Currie blends horror and humor as if in a latter-day Bride of Frankenstein.

Fido respects the familiar rules so much that it doesn’t even need to have a character summarize for us: Take them out with a double tap to the head; space radiation caused it all; one bite communicates the disease; no zombie can lurch faster than a crippled golf cart. And yet why does Fido

seem so original? Maybe it’s this: Nothing since Todd Haynes’ 2002 Far From Heaven has been such a playful yet serious homage to the 1950s social melodrama of Douglas Sirk (All That Heaven Allows) and Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause). Production designer Rob Gray did sterling work recreating those vast Cinemascopic interiors in the studio-built suburban houses. Jan Kresser’s emulation of Eisenhower-era Technicolor is so vibrant it almost glows.

QfdY`\$

F$IXdX In this 1950s story of creeping zombie Wednesday, Aug. 31 blight, the wavering 6pm crawl; 9:30pm screening father of the Robinson family (Dylan Baker) is a Downtown San Jose salaryman. He seems to have everything, in this leafy Leave It to Beaver–style small town. It’s protected by an electric fence. Zombies have been tamed with electronic collars, courtesy of ZomCo (whose corporate logo looks troublingly like the royal monogram of the Kingdom of Oz). The undead are used as menials and maids, and, even though it’s frowned upon, girlfriends. But fragile young Timmy (K’Sun Ray) is starting to question the order of things.

Fido is only going to look better on an outdoor screen, applauded by zombies— and the costumes, adult beverages and general lurching horror is going to make for an evening so fun, it’ll be worth coming back from the dead.—Richard von Busack

The Story of Owe

WELL TITLED: The Debt. Indeed, the producers do owe me two hours of my life back. In 1997 in Tel Aviv, Rachel (Helen Mirren) is telling crowds the true story of how she killed the infamous “Surgeon of Birkenau.” Beaten up and slashed by the Nazi doctor in the 1960s, she managed to pot him in the back with a revolver at about 400 feet. Good shot!

Attacking the book circuit with this likely story, Rachel encounters two people from her past. One is the shame-ridden David (Ciarán Hinds), the other is the wheelchair-bound Le Carréan spook Stephan (Tom Wilkinson). Talking to Stephan over lunch, Rachel asks, “Who are you, the jealous ex-husband or the intelligence officer?” That’s exposition, and you need three credited writers for it.

In flashback, the three are played

by Jessica Chastain, the stolid Sam Worthington (David) and Marton Csokas (Stephan). This Israeli cell schemes to capture the Surgeon, to haul him over the Wall and take him back for trial. But the three get emotionally tangled, mistakes are made and the situation heads south rather than west as planned. The Debt’s point is the same as its original, the Israeli film Ha-Hov. It can be summed up as “when going for

revenge, dig two graves: one for yourself and one for the Nazi who’ll be taunting you as you dig, saying things like ‘You Jews don’t know how to kill, only how to die.’”

Jesper “Mr. White” Christensen certainly reinforces the law that your movie is only as good as its Nazi, and K_\ ;\Yk

Man–style pelvic exam Plays which has some tension. valleywide Director John Madden sets up a promising ironcurtain escape (using the “ghost stations” on the West Berlin U-Bahn). Disbelief must be suspended, though—particularly the thought that all the noise these Israelis make wouldn’t attract the attention of the all-watchful Stasi.

The Debt has a before and after but not really a center, and it’s littered with bad-novel moments, such as a character reappearing after years by saying, “I was in a kind of hospital.” Trying to make this knit together would take a kind of surgeon, and Madden isn’t it. He can’t boil the starch out of an ethical problem which might bother a Quaker but not to anyone who feels calm about watching a Nazi get it.—Richard von Busack

Mary Axe has been around since 2002 but had fans of their live shows banging their heads in frustration at the repeated postponement of the record. With its members finishing school and working regular jobs, the band finally decided it was now or never.

“I give the credit to Alex for basically lighting the fire under everyone’s asses,” Josh says. “If he had left it up to Dan and I to do it, we probably would’ve lagged a little bit longer.”

The three band members have from different backgrounds, and all add something unique to their sound. Josh comes from a metal place but is also a huge Mudhoney fan. One of Dan’s favorite bands is Guns N’ Roses. Alex is heavily influenced by Smashing Pumpkins.

They’re also huge hip-hop fans.

Their music reflects the mix.

Sometimes it’s melodic and soft; other times, loud and booming.

The lyrics typically revolve around personal experiences.

“Lots of love songs. There’s also a song about my dad.” Alex says.

“And spirituality,” Dan adds.

“There’s a song about me being an atheist. I really can’t name a type of music I hate or don’t listen to. It helps with songwriting because we can bounce ideas off one another.”

Josh says one of the songs, “Pale Blue Eyes,” refers to his aunt, who passed away about six years ago: “It’s about the chaos and confusion and the remembrance of her in our lives. The things Dan and Alex sing about are simplistic but very heavy and deep.”

They went to Compound Recordings in Ben Lomond to record, their first time in a professional studio. “All I have to say is: Don’t ever pull an all-nighter and have to drum the next day,” Josh jokes.

Alex says now Mary Axe’s main focus is to shop the album around and play more shows. “We want to see how the album does first, and then possibly start thinking of a small tour, maybe for a weekend,” he says.

Josh realizes Mary Axe is “one of a gazillion bands out there. The trick is how you stand out among that.”

Dan says they’re surprised to find themselves elder statesmen on the scene, as thirtysomethings sometimes playing with bands in their teens. “So, sometimes, our influences are lost on them. We’ve played at Nickel City before with these other teenage bands and here we are ...”

“Fogeys!” finishes Alex.

“It was very humbling,” Josh admits. “Because we thought, ‘Oh, the kids are going to love us!’ But the biggest difference is when I was a teenager and first started going to shows, my friends and I watched all the bands, I mean, you stuck around for the whole show. But now, bands bring a group of people, then take that group of people away with them. It just feels like there’s a loss of community. I don’t know. Maybe I am getting old and cynical.”

But Josh is starting to see a return to the sound of the ’90s, which is perfect timing for them. “This is 20 years after the birth of grunge. That nostalgia is back. I do believe there is another wave coming,” he says.

“This is a chance for the album to start paddling. When you’ve been in music this long, you see that it’s cyclical.”

Most of all, Mary Axe thrives on the camaraderie between the three of them. They want their music to make a lasting impression on their audience.

“Music is a perfect expression of who you are,” Josh further explains. “As a band, you want to create memories for people.”

MARY AXE Saturday, Sept. 3 5th Quarter in San Jose, 9pm; free.

Identity Festival IT’S NO SURPRISE at this point that the Saturday, Sept. 3 electronic music scene can support its own touring festival; what’s incredible is that there hasn’t been one before the Identity Festival, which Shoreline Amphitheatre comes to Shoreline this week. What it brings with it is a living evolutionary chart of electronic music’s 2pm; $50. explosion. Back in the ’90s, the Crystal Method was the soundtrack for the booming rave scene.

Along with the Chemical Brothers, the duo blew the sound of electronic dance wide open, giving it rock muscle and mainstream appeal. Their brand of dance music was intelligent (which, back then, was considered a contradiction in terms), but was also candy for the eardrums.

As one of Identity’s elder-statesman headliners (along with the always strange “trance fusion” pioneers the Disco Biscuits), they’ll share a bill with several of the artists they’ve influenced from across the fractured substrata of electro—globe-trotting, Vegas-pool-partying DJ Kaskade, who broke out in 2001 with “What I Say”; sample-crazed, funk-worshipping Derek Vincent Smith (aka Pretty Lights); electropop duo Holy Ghost!; German house act Booka Shade and many more. With supporting acts like Steve Aoki, White Shadow, Pete Tong, Jessie and the Toy Boys, Le Castle Vania and more, there isn’t a subgenre of electronic that won’t be repped. —Steve Palopoli

Sorrows OUT OF nowhere comes the return of a nearly forgotten band from the age of power-pop. NYC’s Sorrows got their start on the legendary indie Bomp Records (best known for putting out the Modern Lovers, Devo, Iggy, the Germs and many others). But by the time they signed to a major label and released their new The Blank Club San Jose wave debut, Teenage Heartbreak, in 1980, music fans were drowning in a sea of skinny ties, and Sunday, 8pm; $7. their record didn’t make a dent. Wearing their love of the Beatles on their sleeves, Sorrows soldiered on for one more record, then disappeared into cultmusic history. Suddenly last year, they were back, with Bomp putting out a reworked version of Teenage Heartbreak called Bad Times Good Times, and the band reuniting for a run of reunion shows. —Steve Palopoli

For years, there were only two ways to buy glasses: from the local branch of a national chain store, or straight from the optometrist’s office, which typically offers the same brands for even more money. In urban areas, optical boutiques can be found, but they often carry still more brand names, with hefty price tags for the frames alone. After all, glasses are essentially a medical device: If you have to show your insurance card to buy something, you know it’s not going to come cheap, and if you do go cheap, you usually get what you pay for in both quality and style.

However, the axis of optical world is tilting, as independent designers and entrepreneurs have tackled these problems by taking to the web to ply their wares. In only a few years, a growing indie-optical industry has harnessed the power of

the Internet’s inherently free-form, free-thinking ideals to bring glasses wearers stylish options for a lot less cash—and to bring a new business model to the eyewear world.

It all started with Warby Parker.

In 2009, the New York–based company set up its site as a place where folks could find stylish glasses (and monocles!) for a flat fee of $95, prescription lenses and all. Warby Parker creates its own frames, and the edgy, urban-hipster designs, combined with the company’s revolutionary sales tactics, shot Warby Parker to fame in both the fashion and optical communities in little more than a year.

The key to Warby Parker’s success, besides the flat-fee pricing, is undoubtedly its “Home Try-On” service: Put in an order for up to five pairs of potential specs, and they will

arrive on your doorstep. Keep them for a few days and try out each pair.

When you’re done, report back with your final decision. They also have showrooms in select urban areas, including San Francisco.

From there, other designers followed. Spexclub and BonLook are two other popular indie houses that offer only a handful of haute-couture styles at a comparable price to Warby Parker’s. Most other online boutiques aren’t ready to trust customers with an honor system set of try-ons but instead use facial-recognition technology to help customers find flattering frames.

Both BonLook and Spexclub employ a “virtual mirror” that allows users to upload a personal photo and superimpose images of frames over their face. It’s not always easy to finagle a virtual pair of glasses onto a virtual face, but the virtual mirror eradicates the pressure of trying on pair after pair in an optometrist’s office or optical store with a commission-hungry associate shepherding you through the selection. All three brands, as with most online boutiques, offer free shipping and free returns.

Trends do go around from time to time in the eyewear world; lately, indie designers have been both starting and sustaining them. Wooden frames, an idea that emerged in the indie-glasses community around 2010, are on the menu at many an online boutique, and Cartier currently produces sunglasses with wooden temples.

It’s doubtful that glasses will ever be treated as equal when it comes to couture, but online optical boutiques have successfully carved out a cult following for themselves: Orders, media accolades and Facebook fanship have only increased exponentially for sites like Warby Parker in just around two years’ time. These brands, whether they meant to or not, created a brand-new entry point into an industry that hasn’t changed much for decades, proving that both fashion and the Internet are what you make of them.
