Reel and Fry I am saddened that professor Christensen let the mayors “off of the public’s hook” so easily when he had the chance to (“Mayor Fair,” The Fly, April 18); “Reel them all in,” place them all in the same skillet, turn up the appropriate level of heat so as to “fry

them up real good.” The public should know who caused the “unfunded liabilities” that did not properly fund city employee retirements, street repairs and other infrastructure funding requirements.

Taxing Subject How do you feel about paying your income tax last week? Do you feel like (1) you are participating in a fair taxation system, (2) you are only paying your fair share and (3) everyone else is paying their fair share too?

The Fair Tax is superior to the income tax. If adopted, the Fair Tax would do away with the IRS with all its shortcomings and be a huge boon for American businesses. The Fair Tax is

essentially a national sales tax. Among its advantages: Absolutely everyone pays, and American businesses will be on a more level playing field with their international competitors.

The Fair Tax was introduced into Congress in 1999; it’s never been voted on. If your congressional representative is unable to give you an acceptable explanation of why he/she has not been a supporter of the Fair Tax, you need a new representative! Defeat your congressperson in the primary if possible; even if that requires voting across party lines.

EDWARD FERRELL | ARLINGTON, TEXAS

Earthiness I find myself with a growing sense of unease as we pass the 43rd Earth

Day—unease at how we tend to greenwash our daily lives and pat ourselves on the back for all that we are doing to “save” the Earth through consuming.

I feel unease at fresh, highly radioactive fuel rods, hanging precariously in the air at Fukushima like a nuclear sword of Damocles, ready to tumble at a 6.0-plus earthquake.

Why are we not mobilizing globally?

I feel unease at how little heart or action we put into ensuring a healthy future for all life, including our own.

The future is being created now, through our actions and our inactions.

We all know what the stakes are. Are we willing to make sacrifices to our consuming comfort, and actually change our world?

THE FLY

Elbow Room Almost four years ago, JOHN MCCAIN came within a SARAH PALIN of capturing the White House. But last week, the U.S. senator huddled with several of Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful CEOs and San Jose Mayor CHUCK REED to talk green technology, Obamacare, tax reform and ... sports. The meeting was part of the Silicon Valley Leadership Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semiannual trip to Washington, D.C., which features a parade of meetings with Capitol Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inďŹ&#x201A;uence makers.

According to JEFF JANSSEN, one of the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy advisors, McCain welcomed Reed, SVLG president CARL GUARDINO, Brocade CEO MIKE KLAYKO and VP JEFF RANGEL, Varian Medical Systems CEO TIM GUERTIN and Sunpower VP JIM PARKER into his cramped ofďŹ ce to talk shop. By the time the 45-minute conversation was complete, though, it seemed the moral of the story was McCain might want to call ESPN when he decides to give Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his day job a rest. forget â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to tip! it, but the guy was naming off players FLY@ and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Did you see the METRONEWS. game last night?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

COM Janssen says, adding that McCain was concerned about the elbow of S.F. Giants closer Brian Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only because he roots for his home state Arizona Diamondbacks, a division rival of Los Gigantes. But while a third of the meeting was devoted to bats, balls and hockey, McCain did have time to address plenty of the Silicon Valley leadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns, as well as voice his displeasure with President OBAMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of health-care reform. At one point in the meeting, McCain became â&#x20AC;&#x153;animatedâ&#x20AC;? and compared the process to a runaround on the level of the Louisiana Purchase. McCain taking the opportunity to ďŹ re some fastballs at Obama? Yeah, we buy that.

Ex-MACSA teachers talk about missing pension; Councilmember :Xdgfj isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

He worked at the nonproďŹ t for two decades and served as MACSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer (COO) when the illegal diversion came to light in early 2009. The former MACSA teachers say the nonproďŹ tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership took advantage of their idealism, their commitment to students and their desire to make a difference in the community., instead choosing

to pour money into office supplies, affordable housing developments and their six-ďŹ gure salaries.

Last week, the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office indicted former MACSA CEO Olivia SozaMendiola and former CFO Benjamin Tan, but not the third member of the managerial troika: Campos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mere knowledge of criminal activity is not enough,â&#x20AC;? District Attorney Jeff Rosen said during a press conference.

Lupe Nunez, a vice principal for two years at a MACSA school, says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure if Campos was involved in the disappearance of funds from the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retirement accounts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but you kind of wonder.â&#x20AC;?

Nunez contributed $230 from each paycheck to her retirement account, about $5,000 overall, and expected MACSA to match the amount. She remembers going to meetings where Soza-Mendiola would give various explanations for the retirement account funding shortfalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were kind of beating around the bush, saying that because of the economy we are going to have to use your funds,â&#x20AC;? Nunez says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they kind of muddled it up.â&#x20AC;?

The ďŹ nancials were so muddled,

in fact, that it took the DAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office more than three years to complete its investigation. Michael Sterner, the caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead investigator, had his own suspicions about Campos in the report he wrote to support the charges against SozaMendiola and Tan. Sterner commented that board meeting notes in 2004 and 2007â&#x20AC;&#x201D;meetings that Campos almost assuredly attendedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;showed widespread awareness of the illegal diversion of retirement payments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board meetings indicate that Mr. Campos took a lead role in the effort to sell real property owned by MACSA in part to satisfy past due pension obligations,â&#x20AC;? Sterner wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thus, Mr. Campos was almost certainly aware that MACSA had failed to make at least some pension payments.â&#x20AC;?

Nunez recalls that Campos â&#x20AC;&#x153;said he knew nothing about what was going onâ&#x20AC;? with the pension funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always very vague.â&#x20AC;? After she was let go, Nunez checked her pension balances and saw her money wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.

A few months later, Campos offered Nunez a job managing his campaign for a San Jose City Council seat. She says she accepted the position not out of loyalty to Campos, but because she needed the work. So did Campos, who seemed to conveniently forget during his 2010 campaign to note in his League of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voters proďŹ le that he

worked with MACSA for two decades.

Nunez wonders how Campos could not have known about the pension money diversion. “I cannot fathom how an operations officer cannot know where the funds are,” she says.

“If he didn’t know ... wow! If he did know, shame on him.”

Gordon Smith grew up in downtown San Jose’s Naglee Park neighborhood.

When his baby girl arrived five years ago, he moved four blocks to a neighborhood of small wooden homes. “I want to give my daughter the same kind of upbringing I had,” he says.

The 35-year-old UC–Santa Cruz grad says he took a position with MACSA’s San Jose charter school, Latino College Preparatory Academy, even though it was “paying well under market,” in part because it had a pension plan that matched employees’ 8 percent of paycheck contributions. “That was one of the big plus points of working for MACSA.” Smith worked there from 2005 to 2009. During that time, he directed about $4,000 a year from his paycheck to his retirement fund, and MACSA deducted the funds. With matching funds, it should have reached around $30,000, he estimates.

But according to the DA’s charges against Soza-Mendiola and Tan, MACSA stopped making nearly all employer payments to its pension plan provider in early 2004, began skipping payments to the provider for employee pension contributions in 2007 and stopped all payments completely in January 2008.

“We didn’t want to believe anything bad was happening,” Smith says, “and we didn’t want to risk our jobs by asking questions.

“We kept getting a variety of stories.

The stories kept getting worse and worse. They’d never cop to anything other than what had been proven,” Smith recalls. “I said to myself, ‘I don’t trust them, I’m out of here.’”

The DA’s decision to charge only two people seems to have less to do with what people knew and more to do with whether they had direct control over the expenditure of funds and how they handled their own pay deductions.

Soza-Mendiola, who signed the checks, twice was awarded raises in 2007 and 2008, while contract employee Tan, who decided which checks went out, negotiated a contract that gave him higher pay instead of a

pension. The former CEO was the first MACSA employee to stop making payments into her own pension fund in mid-2007, suggesting she knew the money was vanishing—almost a full year before Campos and others opted out of the phantom retirement system.

Campos contributed $100 per pay period for a full year after Soza-Mendiola halted her payroll deductions, losing about $2,500 of his own money. His decision to continue making contributions to the pension fund—when he likely knew they were worthless—seems to have kept him out of the DA’s crosshairs.

Was Campos dumb to lose the money or smart to avoid prosecution—or just not paying attention? Sterner couldn’t say for certain in his report, because like Soza-Mendiola and Tan, Campos refused to give an account to investigators. (He also declined comment for this story.)

But while Campos continues to enjoy support from labor groups and District 5 voters loyal to his sister Nora, who preceded him in office, others say the councilmember is using his support bases as a shield.

“The big picture is that Xavier Campos, and people like him, are using race baiting to stay in control of poor Mexicans and immigrants and make themselves rich in the process and steal money from the public trough in the process,” says Miguel Olivencia, a former MACSA employee now teaching in China.

Examples that Olivencia noted are MACSA’s affordable-housing projects, which are mainly funded by grants and public money. In 2001, MACSA’s board created the Ketzal Community Development Corporation. The people in charge of oversight for both organizations were one in the same.

Within six years, MACSA transferred more than $800,000 to Ketzal to build Las Mariposas, a development that helps low-income, first-time homebuyers.

Former MACSA auditor Joe Chaidez—who along with Tan and Soza-Mendiola are defendants in a civil suit filed by MACSA last year— noted in 2008, three years after Las Mariposas was finished, that nearly $600,000 in Ketzal debt should be wiped off the books as uncollectable.

How the money was lost so quickly by a MACSA-controlled entity has yet to be explained.

TECHNOLOGY & CULTURE IN SILICON VALLEY BY BRENDAN NYSTEDT updated daily on the web: www.sv411.com twitter: 5sv411 facebook: siliconvalley411 Because Zuck is essentially a supermajority onto himself, he was able to exercise his 57 percent of voting power. Similarly, Systrom’s 45 percent of Instagram allowed him to enter into an agreement with Facebook without involving all those pesky investors—and with a deal so sweet, who would want to wait?

Larry Ellison Takes the Stand Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has come out in defense of his company’s Java assets. Google is insisting that in their coding for the Android software, the company’s programmers only used the parts of the Java language that were in the public domain. Ellison testified against Google, reminding the search giant, “Just because something is open source doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with it.”

WSJ: Zuck Flew Solo on Instagram Deal Usually the acquisition of a big company is a long, tedious process. The board of directors has to approve it, tense negotiations drag on for weeks, and even after all the due diligence is done, the deal can be a no-go. But not, it would seem, for Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook/Instagram transaction was such a surprise that even Facebook’s own board was unaware it was happening. Zuckerberg and Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom hammered out the details on their own over a matter of days in Zuck’s plush Palo Alto digs.

The Wall Street Journal reports: “Negotiating mostly on his own, Mr. Zuckerberg had fielded Mr. Systrom’s opening number, $2 billion, and whittled it down over several meetings. ... Later that Sunday, the two 20-somethings would agree on a sale valued at $1 billion.”

Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems and the Java language in 2010 for almost $8B, where the company then considered making a Javabased mobile platform of their own, as Ellison revealed in court.

He and former Google CEO/current chairman Eric Schmidt met in 2010 to discuss collaborating around a Java/Android smartphone project before Oracle sued Google.

Google Gets Fined Over Maps WiFi Screw-up Google’s Street View WiFi data scandal has come to a close as the FCC has discovered that there was no direct wrongdoing.

Although Google did collect copious amounts of unencrypted data from WiFi networks in photographed neighborhoods (including instant messages, emails and the like), the company wasn’t breaking its founding principle of nonevilness.

Google’s not getting off scot-free though. The company has been censured with a $25,000 penalty for “impeding” and “delaying” the investigation. The fine is the maximum penalty applicable. Google still claims it was only gathering data to improve its WiFi-based location services and that any lingering data collected was a mistake.

Adobe Starts Preorders for Creative Suite 6 The latest and greatest Adobe tools for creative pros are now available for preorder. Creative Suite 6 (CS6 to those in the industry) comes in a few different forms, depending on how much the customer feels like shelling out. Because buying the entire package of apps (in Adobe parlance, Master Collection: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat X Pro, Flash Pro, Flash Builder, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Adobe Audition, SpeedGrade, Prelude, Encore, Bridge and, of course, Media Encoder) costs upward of $2,500 for a new license (upgrade users only have to shell out half a grand), Adobe is pitching a new solution. Called Creative Cloud, it enables users to access the entire Creative Suite for rates starting at $49/month (that’s on the year plan).

Google (Finally) Launches Cloud Competitor

finally launched Drive. Designed to compete with Dropbox, Box, Amazon CloudDrive, Microsoft’s SkyDrive and other cloud storage services out there, Google Drive will take and store whatever files users upload via desktop software, browsers or mobile devices. Starting now, the PC, Mac and Android clients are available for download, while iOS users will have to wait a bit for their piece of the action. Google’s thrown in some neat features to sweeten the deal for users: search is a standard feature and allows Drive to recognize keywords in files, even using OCR tech to decode words in PDFs. Google’s really straddling the line between thoughtful and creepy on this one, no?

Undoubtedly, this will let Adobe rope in customers who otherwise would be stuck holding down three jobs to pay for the Master Collection with an inexpensive rental option. CS6 in all its guises will be available in early May.

Mlodinow, who appears May 3 for a Commonwealth Club event in Palo Alto, presents the two-tier brain system of the conscious and unconscious. Unlike Freud, who believed the unconscious to be that which represses and prevents, a new view of unconsciousness has emerged, says Mlodinow. In this view, the architecture of the brain itself is what prevents the conscious mind from accessing the realm of the unconscious.

What follows are extensive anecdotes and scientific research.

Every little tidbit reveals that although our subliminal brain is invisible to us, it dramatically influences our conscious experience of the world—the way we view ourselves, the importance we attach to everyday events, the ways in which we interact socially and even make spontaneous life-or-death decisions.

If you’re ’ a scientist i i or a skeptic, k i forever sick of all the new age hooeyblooey you think might come along with such subjects, this book contains none. The author presents his case that new technologies can shed more light on areas previously written off as speculation.

“Sophisticated new technologies have revolutionized our understanding of the part of the brain that operates below our conscious mind,” Mlodinow writes, “[making] it possible, for the first time in human history, for there to be an actual science of the unconscious.”

The book includes sections specifically dealing with how the unconscious affects the five senses, plus perception, social interactions, memory storage and group dynamics.

We see that our conscious activity is only a tiny percentage of everything that is really going on in our brains.

For example, Mlodinow references a study on brain energy consumption, in comparison to physical activity.

That is, during strenuous physical activity like running or working out, your muscles consume about 100 times more energy than if you were

lounging on the couch because your body is obviously working 100 times harder.

That same scenario, however, does not apply to your brain, Mlodinow says. If your conscious thought is hard at work, say, assessing many possible configurations of the chessboard during a match, the deep concentration employed does not cause the energy consumption in your brain to increase by the same ratio as, say, physical activity would.

In fact, even massive concentration only causes your brain to consume 1 percent more energy than if your brain was at rest or relaxed.

Says Mlodinow, “Regardless of whether your conscious mind is idle or engaged, your unconscious mind is hard at work doing the mental equivalent of push-ups, squats, and wind sprints.”

So So, if fellow workers are com complaining that a journalist is asleep at hi his desk or on Facebook all day, it does doesn’t mean his unconscious mind isn’t simultaneously working overtime on h his story. That’s where the majority of th the brain’s work is done anyway.

In another chapter, “Sorting People and Things,” Mlodinow explicates man many scientific studies that reveal how our unconscious transforms nuance and fuzziness into clear-cut distinctions.

In just one study of many he includes, when people estimated the average temperature between June 1 and June 30, they tended to underestimate it, but when guessing the average temperature between June 15 and July 15, they tended to overestimate it. The artificial grouping into days of the same month had an unconscious effect on how the person applied his conscious estimation.

In the end, Mlodinow says that understanding how our unconscious works gives us a better and fonder sense of ourselves as humans. Were Carl Gustav Jung conscious today, he would subliminally attend Mlodinow’s presentation next week.

There are only three core techniques for making meat taste good: roasting the fat, spicing with rub or sauce and smoking over hardwood.

Growing up in the mid-Atlantic suburban sprawl, summer was a time for barbecue. A barbecue meant cooking outside—over charcoal—chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and corn.

The chicken would be slathered in a spicy sauce and cooked slowly, but the taste of the sauce only attached to the skin. The chicken skin would crisp if cooked carefully, which was part of

the treat. Correctly, we called this “a barbecue,” not “eating barbecue.” But summer corn and carefully roasted chicken skin still evoke that perfect childhood lazy afternoon.

In college, I first had friends from the South—mostly North Carolina—who were aghast with my understanding of barbecue. Barbecue, as a noun, is a special art form of meat cooking, with dimensions of sauce, smoke and roast.

Each pig pit in North Carolina boasts its own combination of sauce, smoke and roast. With Texas, St. Louis and Memphis styles, barbecue seems contentious and parochial.

Even Oakland has a distinct style, with the legendary and lamented Flint’s serving the best links and sauce through the ’90s.

On a popular Internet food discussion board the South Bay was recently described as the “worst population-to-barbecue ratio in the nation,” but in typical Silicon Valley style, there are a few standouts worth visiting. Each has a large smoker on display and caters.

For me, the true test of a barbecue

house is the three-meat combo—usually chicken, ribs and brisket. The individual style of the cook, with his or her bias toward smoke, sauce, rub or fat, comes through loud and clear. In this test, I tried for breadth, attempting to eat as many kinds of barbecue with as many sauces as possible.

Andy’s Bar-B-Que in Santa Clara, struck me with immediate nostalgia for the old Silicon Valley. One of the iconic bars of Silicon Valley was Walker’s Wagon Wheel on Middlefield Road in Mountain View. It’s gone now, but through the ’60s and ’70s, the Wagon Wheel was the Silicon Valley hangout down the street from Fairchild where the builders of chips and semiconductors drank and shared secrets. Andy’s has the same feel and relaxed old atmosphere without trying.

At Andy’s, I had the four-meat combo (serves two), which includes ribs, chicken, links, and brisket with toasted garlic bread and a side salad. For $31, it was a tower of meat, enough for four meals. Unfortunately, the meat was simply good but not special. The brisket was fatty and tender, the ribs were succulent, but no smoke ring (a layer of color on the exterior of the meat that indicates how much time it’s spent in the barbecue.). The sauce was tomato-based and sprightly with little complexity.

three-meat combo for $13.99. Portions are reasonable, and the place is bright, new and friendly, with the earnest and obvious owner checking in with every table. The beer selection includes several excellent microbrews in bottles and every tabled has a selection of sauces. The lack of artifice and focus on food was charming and extraordinarily pleasant on a late Sunday afternoon.

They were out of ribs, so I ordered brisket, pulled pork and chicken. Only for the sake of equality, I avoided the special of the night: a prime-rib barbecue. The sauces were an afterthought, and even the pulled pork was served dry. The Pig believes in smoke with a little spice rub.

The brisket here is served fatty or lean, and the clear choice is fatty. This meat worked, with a crackling brown skin and succulent interior. It was neither greasy nor like a pork rind. It was simply barbecue. Between the pleasant atmosphere, reasonable cost and portion sizes—and frequent live blues—I would place the Pig on my regular rotation if I lived closer.

Trail Dust BBQ in Morgan Hill is the outlier South Bay barbecue location.

As you drive out to Morgan Hill, you’ll remember that California is a farming and ranching state. The atmosphere is clean, wholesome and almost airbrushed, but the taste of the meat is exceptional.

A three-meat combo is $28, and for that price I was served a large stack of ribs, tri-tip and chicken. The star was the tri-tip. The flavor of the smoke hung heavy in the meat. The taste was somewhere between hickory and oak.

The sauces and rub are worth exploring, but the meat stood best alone—with every tender and juicy bite exploding with the savory tang of smoke and unctuous fat.

The next time a patriot of the South waxes nostalgic and belittles California barbecue, don’t change the topic to dim sum or pho. Take them to Trail Dust.

Since the Beer Walk takes place on the pedestrian-friendly streets of San Jose’s Japantown, attendees will be able to sample a wide range of beers served inside the neighborhood’s restaurants, art studios and shops. The event is a benefit for the Japantown Business Association (JBA) and Iwaki-Hisanohama Hanabi Taikai relief fund. Hisanohama is a town near the Fukushima nuclear plant damaged in the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami last year.

SJ Beerwalk is all about beer but it is also an effort to provide an outlet for the community to come together to explore the neighborhoods and small businesses. This time, there will be more beers on tap, with IPA offerings from Firehouse, Rock Bottom, Strike, Faultline and Campbell Brewing. Also look for Kirin, Napoli and Primo.

There will be more participating businesses and pourers this time around to speed up the lines and serve the beer faster.

There will also be more registration locations with full bars and ticket scanning to accelerate the check-in process. Most important of all: more bathrooms.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $30 at Jack’s Bar & Lounge or online at www.sjbeerwalk.com. In the case the event does not sell out, tickets can be purchased the day of for $36 (but that’s a gamble).

Registration begins at noon. A raffle will be held at 5:20pm. For more information go to www.sjbeerwalk.com.—Stett Holbrook

SCREAMING FEMALES

Streetlight Records, San Jose Wed – 5pm; free In the interest of exacting journalistic accuracy, let’s start by establishing that in reality there is only one screaming female in this band, guitarist-vocalist Melissa Paternoster. Not to worry, she can scream for two, at least.

Theirjagged rock is as gritty as the basements this New Jersey band came up playing in. In fact, in the documentary Starve the Beat: The Screaming Females Story, we get a look at a few of them, and wow does it suck the romance out of the “our band could be your life” indie

mantra. Now that they’re above ground (Steve Albini produced their new record, for christ’s sake), their sound—somewhat reminiscent of early Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but very much their own unique creation— can be appreciated in venues that don’t look like they could come crashing down at any moment.

Audacity opens. (SP)

means they were kicking out raw, unpretentious tunes right through the days of sanitized radio-friendly punk, whiny emo, melody-less screamo and whatever the hell BrokeNcyde is. And they haven’t strayed from their roots one bit.

They crank out some solid old school punk rock jams, much in the vein of early Fat Wreck Chords bands which blended ’80s skate rock fervor with pop-punk melodies. (AC)

MIRANDA LAMBERT

Shoreline, Mountain View Fri – 6:30pm; $25-$50 Miranda Lambert got her first shot

at Nashville stardom at age 16 but walked away from it when her producers tried to make her sound too pop. She got another shot in 2003 on the country version of American Idol, Nashville Star. She came in third, but does anybody remember Buddy Jewell or John Arthur Martinez, who finished ahead of her? In fact, does anyone remember anybody else from this show? In any case, Lambert’s most recent album, last year’s Four the Record, continued her string of commercially successful, critically praised records and resulted in her highest-debuting single in “Baggage Claim.” The song “Better in the Long Run” is a duet with husband Blake Shelton, whom she married last year. Chris Young and Jerrod Neimann open. (SP)

BIG ROCK SHOW SLG Art Boutiki, San Jose Sat – 7pm; $10 Contra Ville lead vocalist/guitarist Mitch Waldman and saxophonist Brendan Carroll stumbled upon their odd mixture of jazz and indie rock by accident. Waldman, who writes most of the music, listens to a heavy dose of neopsychedelic indie rock bands like Animal Collective, while Carroll, who adds texture to a lot of the songs, is basically a jazz aficionado.

The saxophone adds an obvious jazzy texture to Waldman’s indie songwriting sensibilities, and they also have keyboardist Kevin McAndrews, whose noodling improvised arpeggios lean it

LATRYX Pagoda Lounge, San Jose Sat – 9pm; $23.50 In 1997, Latyrx’s debut Latyrx (The Album) changed the very idea of what Bay Area underground hiphop could sound like. Fifteen years later, Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truthspeaker are still changing minds and waking up ears. Lateef guested on Lyrics Born’s two-step and boogie mixtape, Variety Show Season Five, earlier this year. But it’s even better than that—Latryx

is back, and in fact the East Bay duo has been recording some of their new album right here in San Jose. Latryx has chosen the South Bay’s own Bangerz to produce a few of the tracks, and they’ll have the Bangerz’ Cutso opening when they perform at Pagoda. (SP)

FIVE CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN EXIT The Refuge, Cupertino Sat – 6pm; $10 Five Characters in Search of an Exit got their name from a Twilight Zone episode of the same name where five characters are trapped in a dark cylinder that they believe is hell. Turns out the five characters are actually dolls and they are trapped in a toy bin. So what kind

of music would a band named after this twisted TV episode play?

One word: metal. We’re talking loud, fist-pumping, vocal-chorddamaging, animal-sacrificing metal.

As a side note, Five Characters in Search of an Exit have a song called “Ten Things I Hate About Chu,” a name that references the one true for metal guys: teen romcoms. This is their CD-release show. (AC)

ATOM AGE X Bar, Cupertino Sat – 8pm; $8 Just when I think rock music is dead, or at least on crutches, a band like Atom Age comes around to convince me otherwise. Rock is not dead, ladies and gentlemen. These guys are on a mission to bring it back to its purest form; they’re horn-tinged, punk-influenced, hard-hitting and all-

around fun. In a time when image too often trumps actual talent, Atom Age shines though as a new breed. (BD)

IDOLS PLAGUE Caravan, San Jose Sat – 9pm; free People got to watch Suicidal Tendencies slowly evolve from an erratic skatepunk group into a thrash-metal band.

Now they can hear East Bay’s Idols Plague take all the Suicidal Tendencies elements from down through the ages—including Mike Muir’s ranting, spewing vocals and the crossover metal-punk guitar chops—and mix them into something new. Every song Idols Plague plays, regardless of tempo, is a complete explosion of energy, an all-out assault on the senses. It’s unrelenting, but that’s the whole point.

Don’t bring your earplugs, unless you want to be mocked by everyone else at the show. (AC)

He’d driven to the Golden Gate Bridge and planned his own death. “I’ve gone to the bridge,” says the Campbell writer and musician.

“I’ve stood exactly where I’m going to jump.”

Few people knew how often

Victorino has battled depression in his life, but he even didn’t know bad it would get shortly before Christmas.

“There were a couple of nights when I was super, super-reckless, and I put myself in a lot of danger,” he admits now. “I’m still being told things I did during this two-week period where I guess I had kind of a break.”

That included one night where he went to a show in San Francisco after taking a handful of Xanax, plus Klonopin and Valium. After binge drinking and taking whatever anyone would hand him, he went into a vomiting fit—one that doctors later told him saved his life.

The next night, he locked himself in the bathroom, and then heard his wife sobbing outside. She was terrified. “The worst thing was that my first reaction to that wasn’t ‘How silly of you to think I was killing myself,’” he says. “It was ‘How silly of you to think I would do it that way, in the house.’”

His wife convinced him to go to the

Adult Psychiatry Department at K Kaiser, where a doctor asked him if he wa was planning to kill himself, and if it was safe to release him.

“Right then, I knew I could lie and keep it going and get my way, but what I said was nothing. I couldn’t say anything. I just started crying. I know that meant I was going to be put away,” he says.

The San Francisco incident was judged a suicide attempt, and Victorino was 5150’d—held at the Crisis Stabilization Center for almost three days under the Baker Act. He was also diagnosed as bipolar. Later, the experience made him look closely at his previous attempts to hide his struggles—even in his work. Especially in his second volume of poetry, 2009’s Trading Shadows for Sunshine.

“I wasn’t really proud of it. I felt like it was dodging a lot, not being truthful,” he says. “I would use lots of ‘theys’ and ‘wes’ and ‘yous’ instead of ‘me,’ when I was really trying to talk about how I felt.”

He began to realize the irony of his situation. “I can stand up in front of thousands of people with a microphone, but I don’t have the balls to say face to face with someone, ‘I’m not doing all right,’” he tells me. “I feel like if it wasn’t so much of a stigma,

Sunshine For Shadows

if people weren’t so afraid of mental illness, I never would have gotten to that point. It would have been OK to talk about it. If someone said, ‘How are you doing,’ instead of bullshitting them, I would have said, ‘I’m having a rough time, and this is why.’”

That got him thinking about how many other people, including many who have read his books or heard his music over the years, are in the same situation, and what he could do to bring more awareness to the issue. It started with one post on Facebook.

“I basically ‘came out of the closet’ on Facebook. I didn’t go into detail, I kept it short, saying ‘National Mental Health Awareness week just passed, but I’m going to take this opportunity to let you guys all know that I found out I’m bipolar after a 5150 adventure.’ I got 300 likes on it, and all these people were talking about they have this, or that, and they’re going to talk to their friends about it. That one little post might have helped somebody,” he says.

Taking it one step further, he began rewriting Trading Shadows for Sunshine, retyping it all the way through.

“I’m keeping some of the stuff, and I’m changing some of the perspective from third person to first, like it should have been. I’m being a lot more honest, letting it be as dark as it has to be,” Victorino says. “A lot of the way I wrote it before was I’d feel myself writing kind of dark stuff and I’d think: you know what, I’m going to cheer it up, find a way to give it a happy ending or make it seem silly or funny, use humor to kind of back away from the truth.”

As the Limousines did with their recent rerelease of the Scrapbook EP, anyone who preorders the book will have their name or anyone’s name they choose printed in the Thank You section of the book.

Victorino says there have been ups and downs since December, and he doesn’t know if and when he’ll be okay. But he has kept one important memento from the Golden Gate Bridge.

“I have a picture that I took looking down, just to remind myself that ‘you’ve been there before. Don’t go there again.’”

Bartender’s Challenge

ENDING ITS current season, Opera San Jose’s new production of Gounod’s Faust felt a lot like leftovers. No doubt budget limitations had something to do with the minimalist set designs—even though the word “set” in this case should not be taken literally; backdrops and arranged stage furniture, even with tricked-out lighting, barely qualify. Worse, the art chosen for those backdrops was depressingly inconsistent—a knockoff Brueghel harvest fest followed by a kitschy Thomas Kinkade landscape and, in the final scene, a clip-art starburst—and the key lights (one each for the principals onstage) reflected off the polished floor, creating ugly smears on those backdrops.

Saturday, 8pm; Brix Nightclub, San Jose Pouring drinks has moved way beyond the old shot-with-a-beer-back days. Today’s bartenders are expected to deliver all kinds of exotic drinks (and think some up on the spot) as well as entertain the crowd while doing it. Every year, the Palm Springs Summer Splash Cocktail Challenge comes to Brix in San Jose looking for some high-end pourers. The winner on Saturday will get a trip to Palm Springs, America’s gay oasis, to compete in the finals at the end of May.

In 21st-century America, the once-popular Gounod opera needs all the help it can get. While it held the boards for an astounding run in France during the latter 19th century, it, too, is Faust annoying inconsistent—theatrically and musically as frivolous as a Rossini farce but with occasional bursts of Runs through May 6; melodic inspiration. While the composer set his sights $51 and up on countering the dominant Italian operatic tradition, California Theatre, he made no attempt to accommodate the theological San Jose and philosophical depth that Wolfgang Goethe had so brilliantly bequeathed to German culture. Instead, conflated emotions, pretty tunes and dances carry the opera.

Local Jazz Composers Workshop Saturday, 8pm; Theatre on San Pedro Square, San Jose; $20/$25 Tabard Theatre Company lends a hand to the local jazz community with a night devoted to new works by area composers. Out of a flood of entries, 25 compositions were chosen to be showcased at the concert. The works will be performed by the jazz group nineteen, directed

by Gus Kambeitz. Some of the composers picked include Wayne Wallace, Naoki, Eric Bolvin and Aaron Lington.

OSJ’s general manager, Larry Hancock, describes the work as Gounod’s “masterpiece” that puts all other operatic versions to shade. Yet Berlioz’s concert oratorio, The Damnation of Faust, is a greater musical score, has often been staged as opera to critical acclaim and would fit the OSJ stage. Where you’d expect from Gounod unforgettable melodies, during the “love scene” at the end of Act II, you get nothing to hum on the way home. Instead, the best tunes show up when the characters are taking to themselves: “Salut! Demeure, chaste et pure” is Faust’s vicarious musing on Marguerite. Her “jewel song” is also a solo rapture.

Mephistopheles, the most “complete” character, gets his best musical moment in his final act “Vous qui faites l’endormie. ... O Catherine, ma mie.”

Last Sunday, on the California stage, Krassen Karagiozov (Valentin) redeemed the cast with his commanding and authoritative baritone.

Vocally, Alexander Boyer (Faust) acquitted himself persuasively. Jasmina Halimic (Marguerite) was less demure than Faust imagined and hit some pretty strident high notes. But for the chorus and dancing, stage action was uncomfortably stiff. As Mephistopheles, Branch Fields’ vocal production came up short on diabolical menace though he was the most convincing actor. His putting the “crowd” under spells made for bits of stage magic.

Conductor David Rohrbaugh kept the action in motion and sought to make space for the bigger moments. The orchestra came through, with concertmaster Cynthia Baehr floating lovely solo above Faust’s “Salut!” in Act I.—Scott MacClelland

ART

I8N 8ii`m\j ARTISTS ARE born unionists. Theirs is a talent that requires support, because if can’t be learned, it must be protected. It’s why they tend to cloister together, in the hopes that a collective effort will yield individual growth—power in numbers and such.

The independent artists’ organization RAW: natural born artists is one of the largest of these creative brain trusts. RAW is intent not on mere representation but on marketing the works of a nationwide network of painters and photographers, makeup artists and musicians, RAW Showcase filmmakers and fashionistas. This Thursday, RAW will play curator to San Jose’s artistically Thursday, 8–11:30pm; gifted in an evening called “Menagerie.” Currently $10–$15 operating in 64 cities nationwide, the RAW showcase takes up residence at different venues Beso, 417 S. First St., to host the work of local artists. On April 26, San Jose Beso Nightclub on South First Street in San Jose debuts “Menagerie,” an evening of sights and sounds featuring both San Jose’s best and brightest, as well as the underground and rising. Some of the featured creative types include photographers SnapShot Ninja (Annalisa Hackleman, whose pics have been seen in Metro) and Joha Harrison, artists Rikki9 Merle, Jamie Berumen and WJS and stylist Susan Talamantes.

“San Jose was a logical choice,” says RAW San Jose showcase director Greg Gioia. The city already has a “massive, thriving underground art scene but no national outlets for that talent.” RAW wants to be that outlet. It’s done wonders for some places already. A Sundance Channel documentary zeroed in on the work of one Los Angeles–based RAW artist, and a designer in Philadelphia landed a clothing line deal with Macy’s.

The selection process is fairly open ended. Looking for young designers in the first stages of their career, RAW’s talent scouts both actively hunt for new talent, and accept submissions on their website. By mid-June, RAW will span the globe. Its first international show will be held in Brisbane, Australia, with more showcases to be added around the continent, as well as in Germany, where RAW debuts in the fall.—Shona Sanzgiri

Perhaps the film will have a guaranteed audience from families who remember how good Aardman Animations is from Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and others.

It relates the saga of an indifferently able pirate and his crew, including all due adventures (sword fights, chases, last-minute rescues from the chopping block).

The film also serves as a show-biz allegory. The pirate captain (voiced

by Hugh Grant) aims for the Pirate of the Year award—essentially, an oversized version of those rings they used to have in gumball machines, complete with genuine rubyette in the eye socket. Flashier candidates sadly outdistance him.

Lured to fame, the captain is a mark for schemers. One is the evil Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton).

The other is the conniving Charles Darwin (David Tennant), who tragically betrays his principles in the hopes of meeting girls.

On the phone with producer and co-director (with Jeff Newitt) Peter Lord, we discussed the possibility of pirate movie overload.

Lord said, “We were concerned about those other pirates spoiling the market place for us, but our approach was the completely different. We started from a whole different place. If we refer to anything, it is to the classic pirate movies, such as Treasure Island or the Burt Lancaster film The Crimson Pirate.”

The Pirates! had just gone No. 1 in England. On tour in the United States, Lord had just tweeted that he’d visited Pixar. Was there much similarity between the Emeryville campus and Aardman headquarters?

“Um, it’s a bit of different world.

Pixar is a little bit like heaven—the grass is green, the sky is blue, the people wander around with seraphic smiles on their faces. But actually the job is boring. ... They have to work at computers all day. In our world, we have the real sets. Our studio

looks a bit like Aladdin’s cave [with] 40 different miniature units all going at once with black-velvet curtains between them to keep the light out. All of the jewel-like props—it’s enticing.”

But if the facilities are different, the work is essentially the same.

“People ask how long a film takes.

Whenever I answer, there are gasps of horror and astonishment. All animated films take about five years, whether they’re made by us or Pixar or DreamWorks. There is an element of the handmade in our work. People think you must be so patient to move the characters fractions of an inch. But that’s also what’s done with computers. We’re all in the same business. We just use different tools.”

All worth it, perhaps, to instruct growing children in the story of Queen Victoria’s secret life as a ninja.

According to Lord, “It’s likely the most historically inaccurate film ever made. It’s magnificently wrong—in one on scene we have Jane Austen and the th Elephant Man together. She died 50 years before Mr. Merrick was born.

Napoleon is sitting side by side with Na Queen Victoria. [The former died Qu when wh the latter was a toddler.] When the th crew asked about the costumes, I told to them it was set in the olden days, so make it look classic.”

Among the dunce-capped history here is the presence of Polly, the dodo that the pirate captain mistakes for a parrot. The last of these birds had died more than 150 years before the film is set. You come out of The Pirates! longing for a pet dodo. How does one animate them?

“It’s surprisingly easy,” Lord finished. “She’s about the size of a squash ball. Big wide hips, very short legs, a very amusing sort of swinging-butt walk, big wide eyes, a little sensitive smile on the beak. The beak is just gently wired to give quite subtle little glimpses of optimism.”

Such subtle glimpses, such increments, are Aardman’s specialty, and once again these claymation wizards have come up with treasure.

Revivals BLADE RUNNER (1982) In a near-future Los Angeles, an embittered bounty hunter (Harrison Ford) tracks down four genetically engineered slaves who have escaped from the off-world colonies. Ridley Scott’s extremely influential film channeled the guilt and pessimism of Raymond Chandler, echoing his diatribes about the pollution, futility and despair of Los Angeles. Chandler is the real inspiration, even if Philip K. Dick is credited with the source novel; Dick’s pathos about a world in which animals are all but extinct is only brushed against

Blade Runners LIKELY YOU’VE HEARD the Tolstoy parable about how when a person goes to heaven, God checks their hands for calluses to see if they’ve worked hard for a living. Wei Te-Sheng’s massive and ultra-violent epic Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale tells a version of this fable. It’s a story of the Seediq indigenous people of the highlands of Taiwan. Supposedly when these fighters cross the rainbow bridge to their Valhalla, their ancestors check their hands to make sure the blood of their enemies is on them.

In the 1890s, Imperial Japan received Taiwan from China, and introduced roads and logging. The upland, aborigine nations, who had been in blood feuds with each other forever, united with their old foes against the new invaders.

Such was the Wushe Incident of 1930. It was modern war versus iron-age peoples armed with swords, bows and spears: Apparently, the Japanese even dropped poison gas from biplanes on the natives.

Mona Rudao (played by an Atayal tribesman named Lin Ching-Tai) is the fiercest of the aborigines, though his spirit is injured from insults and alcohol. Lin’s performance gives this greatly oversized film a core; he looks as

impressive with his pipe as MacArthur did. It seems Lin is a pastor as well as an actor; likely he can put a serious fear of hellfire into his congregation.

All the usual routines you’d rather not see in a film about the U.S. Army and Indians are easier NXii`fij f] to take in this film’s k_\ IX`eYfn1 context: the cravenness J\\[`h 9Xc\ or viciousness of the soldiers; the certainty N/R; 276 min.

Opens Friday, in the Hunting Ground AMC, Cupertino to come, suggested by a heavenly visit from Rudao’s dead father … even the film’s apology for head-hunting as a sacred duty, an honor to both killer and killed.

At first, director Wei makes this a rousing history of war in the cloud forests; the physicality of the warriors is like the best parts of Mann’s Last of the Mohicans. After an hour and a half of the tremendously graphic battle scenes, you’ve seen enough; it must be the influence of co-producer John Woo to keep escalating matters past the exhaustion point. And composer Ricky Ho’s chorale-heavy threnodies repeat themselves more than the machine guns.—Richard von Busack

BRINGING UP BABY/ COME AND GET IT

98:B KF E8KLI< N`cc\d ;X]f\ c\]k Xe[ JXd E\`cc kXb\ X _`b\ `e ÉK_\ ?lek\i%Ê

Tiger in the Woods THE LAST Tasmanian tiger died Sept. 7, 1936, as a result of a zookeeper’s blunder.

Since then, the striped, wolf-like beast— the last member of a family more than 30 million years old—has been sought by naturalists in the still-very-wild woods on that same remote island.

The Hunter is based on Sydney novelist Julia Leigh’s tale of a nefarious corporation seeking the mythical creature in hopes of discovering secrets it can exploit. The dubious plot works, thanks to Willem Dafoe’s particular urgency as the mysterious Martin David, the hunter hired to find and shoot the tiger. He lodges in a house deep in the Tasmanian forest, and finds the accommodations terrible. The lady of the house, Lucy (Frances O’Connor), is comatose from tranquilizers, and her two children are running feral. The little girl of the family lets Martin know it’s not the lightbulb in his room that’s burnt out: “Naow, it’s no fuckin’ power.”

They’ve been troubled ever since their father disappeared into the woods many months before. Sam Neill plays a trusty neighbor who looks in on this family. But we have suspects in the vanishing. The courts are challenging the local loggers’ right to denude the island; they’re as hostile as the rustlers in a Western. And

they suspect all outsiders of being hated “greenies”—ecologists.

Dafoe, setting up his illegal traps and snares, is silently compelling; his raw thin face stands out in the fog and the drizzle, and though he’s a man without a past, he has one strong mark of personality: He K_\ ?lek\i loves baroque opera.

It’s nice to see a love of R; 100 min. classical music indicating Opens Friday, individualism instead of Camera 3, fascism.

San Jose The Hunter is also loaded with location footage of Tasmania. It could be said the visuals encourage visitors, while the story of danger discourages them. The trouble is that these bogs, fernlands and streams have been given a serious digital color grading, probably because of the constant shifts of light and weather.

Australian TV vet Daniel Nettheim doesn’t break any new ground, but he has a light touch with the precociousness of the children; that touch has to fail when the heavy ending arrives. And what David does to survive—trapping or shooting pademelons, or whatever that small stuffed-animal-like creature is—is rough for animal-lovers.—Richard von Busack

(1938/1936) Fatuously satisfied with a dried-up old intercostal clavicle, paleontologist David Huxley (Cary Grant) is knocked off his ladder by a sweet, wealthy but perhaps addled Connecticut girl (Katharine Hepburn) who keeps a large and disobedient leopard as a pet. Grant’s woe makes him all the more hilarious. Bringing Up Baby is a prime example of Hawks’ skill in filming a comedy that looks like a tragedy and vice versa. BILLED WITH Come and Get It. Frances Farmer was a difficult, hard-drinking woman whose supposed lobotomy (it may not have happened) made her a feminist icon. She was, as Hawks told interviewer Joseph McBride, “the best actress [he] ever worked with.” She plays a double role in an Edna Ferber story about a fortune-seeking spoiler of a Wisconsin lumberjack (Edward Arnold).

Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

THE DAWN PATROL/ CEILING ZERO (1930/1936) Director Howard Hawks was a pilot (in fact his brother died in a flying accident), and this strikingly titled story of conflict among British aviators in the Great War was his first sound film. It was also the template for the kind of film Hawks was to make again and again: tales of groups of men keeping their nerve in the face of danger.

BILLED WITH Ceiling Zero. Paralyzed aviator Frank “Spig” Wead wrote the source play. James Cagney is an irresponsible pilot who is hired to run the air mail out of Newark; but one of his pranks leads to the death of a friend, and that’s when he puts his own life on the line. (Plays Apr 25-26 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

A GIRL IN EVERY PORT/ FIG LEAVES (1928/1926) Victor McLaglen and Robert Armstrong star as sailors on an around-the-world cargo run; their rivalry over the women they meet (one is Louise Brooks) leads to minor mayhem. Director Howard Hawks was so enamored of the dynamic of the feuding friends that he was still trying to do this story over in the early 1970s with his never-sold last film, When It’s Hot Play It Cool.

“I was a completely different person before. I went abroad completely conservative, a George Bush Republican. I came back a straight hippie,” Heine says.

The quiet intensity of KILR presents itself after several listens.

Heine does not emote painful screams or make dramatic statements about Iraq, rather he exhibits the kind of self-reflection on the album where everything in his life is being looked at through a new lens.

Dogcatcher will play at San Pedro Square Market on Saturday, April 28, the first show in a monthly series called Daydream Nation that will last till August, and is the result of the efforts of Bill O’Brien (of SaveAlternative.com) to showcase exceptional emerging Bay Area and San Jose artists.

Before joining the Marines, Heine got a degree in engineering and was planning to get a good-paying job in the field, while playing bass in jazz bands as a hobby. He was told this was the smart thing to do. The war gave him first-hand experience to not take everything told to him at face value and to look at things from his own perspective.

“We were told that we are the good guys and they’re the bad guys. We’re not necessarily 100 percent the good guy. The Iraqi are definitely not all the bad guy.

Everyone’s the same. We’re all just people. That’s something I came back from Iraq with,” Heine says.

In San Diego, he followed his heart instead of his head and spent all his time painting and playing bass in as many bands as possible—as many as seven at once. But quietly, in his apartment he started to write songs on his acoustic guitar, something he’d never done before. It was a way to process his recent experiences and to learn about himself. “The lyrics [on KILR] were me posing all these questions to myself and then singing hypothetical answers,” Heine says.

On the surface, a lot of what he was singing about was his relationships with girlfriends, because like everything, he was looking at this differently, too, but underneath the skin, Heine realized he was actually writing about his time in Iraq. The song “Hey, Hey, We’ll Make It” is on one level about his girlfriend’s unwavering optimism in the face of their crumbling relationship, but it is also

Quiet Storm

about the optimism he witnessed the Iraqi people had in the face of war.

“It’s the worst possible situation for the people that live there, but they maintain an encouraging sort of optimism. I think optimism is a universal necessity,” Heine says.

The most dramatic moment in Iraq came for Heine when a bullet whizzed by him, barely missing him by 10 feet. One of the songs cut from KILR (and being reworked for their new album) expresses this profound experience. (“It’s amazing that I’m alive today/Now let’s make it an event.”)

This brush with his mortality gave him the freedom to set restart on his life and live on his own terms. “That dude didn’t have to miss me. That could happen anytime. Nothing you can do. Might as well enjoy what you got. Might as well do things the way you want to,” Heine says.

After moving back to Mountain View, Heine recorded KILR with some old friends, dubbing the project Dogcatcher. While KILR is eclectic and sprinkled with elements of blues and jazz, it is by and large a lush, beautiful folk-centric album.

The freedom Heine experienced to follow his passions also gave him the freedom to not feel pressure to be confined musically. After making Dogcatcher a more official group, the four-piece allowed their sound to change significantly, even when playing songs off of KILR. Most of the folk-sounds were replaced with elements of soul, giving the live sound a very groove-centric, rhythmsection-oriented blend of rock & roll and R&B. Yet the songs still remain full of understated emotion and philosophical depth.

Of course, Heine switched to the Rhodes organ after guitarist Ryan Kingsmith joined the group, which naturally changed the sound. “The Rhodes lends itself more to a soul kind of thing than folk,” Heine says.

The current lineup of Dogcatcher has been in place for about a year and is finishing up a new record which better reflects this new sound.

Jello Biafra AFTER DOING everything from Lard to his Mojo Nixon cowpunk album to hours and hours of spoken word, Jello Biafra’s solo escapades have never sounded as much like the Dead Kennedys as they do now.

Apparently spurred by the onset of his 50th birthday, Biafra put together his first real solo band, Jello Blank Club Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, who’ll play the Blank Wednesday. This is Biafra the Wed, April 25 way we all remember him from the DK days: buzzsaw punk overlaid with dark, almost pychedelic touches.

8pm; $12/$14 He’s found some good targets for his bitterly funny lyrics—one he’s guaranteed to play in Silicon Valley is “Electronic Plantation,” an anti-tech-giant screed that sounds like an outtake from Frankenchrist. It’s one of the best songs on the band’s debut, the brilliantly titled The Audacity of Hype.—Steve Palopoli

BARFLY: BLUSH

8k =`ijk 9clj_ BLUSH RAW BAR & LOUNGE, at San Pedro Square Market, is the newest club in San Jose—literally, having hosted its grand opening just last Thursday evening. The party was well under way by the time I arrived, at 9pm, and Blush was crowded elbow to elbow with an eclectic mix of patrons: young and old wearing everything from black tie to no tie.

Suits mingled with plaid shirts, evening dresses with jeans. Some chatted with friends and new acquaintances, shouting to be heard over the music, while many drank in relative silence, eyes glued to the Shark’s game on the flat-screen TV. Waitresses skillfully and unhesitatingly meandered through the human wall, weaving arms laden with menus and drink trays through the throng of people, occasionally stopping to answer questions and flirt.

Blush Raw Bar & Lounge 100 N. Almaden Ave., #160, San Jose 408.477.2191

Blush has three main parts, each with a distinct vibe. The dining area almost feels like a work-in-progress: Small four-person tables are scattered around the sushi bar. Adjacent to the open dining section is the main bar.

This area has a glitzy techno-industrial feeling to it, with a high ceiling, exposed metal girders and an exposed air duct, along with hanging lanterns, color-changing LEDs embedded in the wall and a neat LED display over the bar proper, proclaiming “Blush” in glowing red.

The porch is where the club truly shines. This outdoor deck area has some Pacific Rim influence to it: backless wicker booths are scattered around knee-high tables. Tall, propane lanterns with child-size flames light the tables, while high above, Christmas tree lights are wrapped around tree trunks.

By the bar, a waitress told me about a new kind of drink that will, she assures me, make the club famous—the slush cocktail. Slush cocktails are alcohol and ice concoctions; flavored vodka or rum and cubed ice form the base, on which rests a layer of puréed frozen fruits. I try the strawberry mojito version. The sips were harsh at first with a strong minty taste, but they softened quickly as a nice strawberry aftertaste lingered on the tongue.—The Barfly

The Pierces COULD THERE BE a better band to do music for a Dexter promo than one called the Pierces? It was a good one, too—the season three teaser where the donut box fills with blood. The dark, almost waltz-like tune in the background, with its haunting lyric “two can keep a secret when one of them is dead” was the first HP Pavilion time a lot of us heard sisters Allison and Catherine Pierce. They’d actually been around a while even Fri-Sat, April 27-28 then, toiling in obscurity in a fairly bland adultalternative sound since their debut record in 2000.

7pm; $28-$107 But with 2007’s Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge, something changed. It was sly, subversive and a little shocking in all the right places, with songs like “Secret” from the Dexter promo and “Boring,” with its long list of “girl-on-girl, ménage a trois … marijuana, cocaine, heroin” and what a chore they all are. The sisters’ wit has gotten sharper, and their eccentric but slick indiepop sound more sophisticated. They’re touring with Coldplay, including these two nights at HP.—Steve Palopoli

A memo put out on 4/20â&#x20AC;&#x201D;city staff swears it was just a coincidenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;states that more than

$3.16 million in taxes was collected between March 2011 and the end of February this year. (That includes $61,000 in late penalties and $3,000 in interest.)

But the city still staunchly insists that: 1. Officials have spent more time, which equals money, on collectives than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth to regulate (although no running tally of hours is kept). 2.

Collectives are illegal.

No doubt, the dollars coming in ease the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conscience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best example of that (second point) is to think about Al Capone and the IRS,â&#x20AC;? says Angelique Gaeta, an assistant city manager for San Jose, who cites the infamous Chicago mobster

who ran afoul of the law yet was held responsible for the taxes he owed on money made illegally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gross receipts tax; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a sales tax,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything traded, bartered, anything of value, there is a tax on it.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, as money goes into the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffers, enforcement efforts are slowly starting to slash and burn undesirable pot clubs off the everďŹ&#x201A;uctuating list of dispensaries. Over an 18-month period ending Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day this year, the city says it received 77 complaints ranging from improper signage and building/zoning infractions to loitering and illegal drug sales.

The city went about contacting the various collectives in four ways: warning letters were sent to ďŹ ve collectives; administrative citations were issued to four clubs; compliance orders were sent to three dispensaries; and the city attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office opened case ďŹ les on four others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal here is to protect our community, and public nuisance and compliance are two aspects of that,â&#x20AC;? says David Vossbrink, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications director.

Four collectives closed not long after the city opened case ďŹ les, including MedEx on Senter Road because it was located too close to a school. Two other dispensaries have plans to shut down by June, Gaetaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memo says.

One collective, however, which the city did not release the name of, has not responded to a warning letter and compliance order from the city, and an inspection warrant is in the process of being obtained by the city attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

While the city believes that some collectives are skirting the MBT by reporting $0 on their monthly tax statements, Deputy DA Jim Sibley, who oversees the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug prosecutions, says his office has no plans to prosecute collectives that refuse to pay the tax. Since releasing a new medical marijuana protocol last year, Santa Clara County has one of the more progressive approaches to working with collectives to keep them in compliance with state law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain dispensaries that have taken that position that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re operating in compliance and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to pay the tax. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legal or political position, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how you categorize it,â&#x20AC;? Sibley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that they do or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it more or less criminal.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Josh Koehn
