Dollar Bargain This snapping up of real estate by foreigners, not just in Silicon Valley but all over the country, is the inevitable result of the declining dollar. U.S. dollars are cheap now, so why wouldn’t investors the world

over look to buy assets that are denominated in dollars?

When you’ve got a $16 trillion national debt, and you have a president who gets angry when anyone suggests that we need to rein in spending and who doesn’t think there even ought to be a debt limit—well, this is what happens to your currency and to your country.

Thanks, Mr. President. Thanks for giving away our country.

JOHN GALT | SAN JOSE

History Lesson It should be obvious to even the casual student of history that all aggressively expansionist and exploitative nations end up doing unto themselves as they do unto others. “Hate multiplies

hate; violence multiplies violence,” said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—and it inevitably infects the population back home. Check out daily life in imperial Rome, 16th-century Spain, Wellingtonera England and Stalinist Russia.

We suffer from so much violence in because our decision makers, bent on maximizing wealth and power, have inflicted so much violence on innocent victims around the world: native North Americans, Africans, Central and South Americans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghans.

Small wonder that violence has become the chief hallmark of our public entertainments, or that mass murder is intrinsic to our existence. As long as we pursue violent ways elsewhere, we can count on incurring more of the same on home soil.

J. B. GRANT

Major Blow John Kiriakou, former CIA officer and whistle-blower, has been sentenced to 30 months in jail. In 2007 he confirmed the use of waterboarding and described it as torture. He joins Daniel Ellsberg, Bradley Manning and others pursued by the government in an effort to intimidate those with access to “secrets” from releasing them. When President Obama was campaigning, he indicated he would support whistle-blowers. Now, in power, he doesn’t, though whistleblowers are supposedly protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. Hypocrisy is an equal-opportunity pastime. And no one involved with torturing detainees has been sent to prison. What a surprise!

strategies, the ZERO1 Garage is now partnering with the Adobe Creative Technologies Lab, the Christensen Fund and Google, each of which will sponsor a particular artist’s project over the course of this year.

In each case, the project will be a collaboration, a process and/or a dialog.

The circuitry connecting all of the component parts is just as important as the parts themselves. Everything is connected, with the Garage functioning as part think tank, part gallery, part psychological incubator, part policy implementer and part metaphorical server room.

It sounds like snoozy academic-speak, but this is actually a pretty radical idea.

Artists are the ones running the ZERO1 Garage, which is precisely what sets it apart from the shallow “innovation” talk currently boring audiences worldwide.

The Garage philosophy is that if anyone in the high-tech universe really wants to solve social and cultural problems and make the world a better place, artists need to be in the conversation, since they are the true radical experimenters and the ones most comfortable with uncertainty. It’s how they intrinsically operate.

At the launch event last week, ZERO1 Garage executive director Joel Slayton articulated a vision to graft artistic creativity onto any collaboration, in any context, as a vehicle for inventing a better future landscape. Each year from now on, the Garage, along with its sponsoring partners, will define particular problems requiring radically new creative approaches and then select a number of artists to implement those approaches. The artists receive a stipend and work together with the sponsors and each other. Everything and everyone will be connected.

“Imagine what this might look like in five years,” Slayton said from the podium. “We’ll have a very robust network of thought leaders, practitioners and creatives, from a variety of interdisciplinary fields, so

that when we use this term ‘artists’ we’re talking about artist-technologist, artist-entrepreneur, artist-designer, artistarchitect, artist-urban-planner, really, this new generation of creatives that are shaping the world. And we want the Garage to be the centerpiece in Silicon Valley where those experiments come to life.”

The inaugural three ZERO1 Fellows, all three of whom are Bay Area women, then presented their prospective projects. Paula Levine, a Canadian-American artist who teaches at San Francisco State University and is supported by Google, discussed the concept of empathy in a digitally connected global world: that is, mapping everybody else’s suffering onto your own situation as a vehicle for understanding. The idea stemmed from her previous work, which included grafting a map of the U.S. invasion of Baghdad onto a map of San Francisco. g Cecilia Galiena, originally from C Rome, presented a more mystical Rom approach, claiming that artists provide app fresh, alternative method of inquiry, a fr perspective beyond the linear, ap objective method of science. An artist is obj inseparable from the audience, she said. inse IInitially, Galiena will focus on how indigenous peoples, through their ind stories and cultures, are seeking to make stor intellectual property serve a function besides value appropriation. Her fellowship is thanks to the Christensen Fund, a philanthropic organization integrating the arts, biodiversity and education.

The Adobe Creative Technologies Lab (CTL) kicked in for the third artist, Daniela Steinsapir, who is now given the task of developing new approaches for cross-generational collaborative communication platforms, which could include storytelling across geographical and generational boundaries, touchscreen photo editing, language translation and other developments.

Which poses one final question: Where does art criticism function in all of this? As creative paradigms continue to evolve, so must the apparatus of critique. That is an issue no one seems willing to address yet. I predict a whole new meaning for the term Garage Critic. Get ready.

It has the look and feel of a restaurant-style brewery, but the food goes beyond the obvious. The special of the day during my visit was pizza with bacon, Gorgonzola and pears. Yum! If you don’t like pears on your pizza, they still serve all the traditional toppings.

For my thin-crust pizza, I ordered the “Classic,” which includes mushrooms, onions, green bell peppers and Italian sausage. Individual sizes start at $6.95.

Smalls (12 inches) start at $12; larges (16 inches) at $16.

Blue Line also serves a very delicious deep-dish pizza, which is made with just a little bit of cornmeal—the same way it was made at Pizzeria Uno in Chicago many years ago when the deep-dish style originated. The added cornmeal gives the crust more crunch—and keeps it firm. I ordered the “Blue Line,” which is made with spinach, ricotta, feta, mushrooms, onions and garlic.

The combination of ricotta and feta creates a tasty cheese flavor that melds well with the sharpness of the spinach.

For gluten-free patrons, Blue Line offers Udi’s crusts. I ordered a gluten-free pizza with salami, pepperoni and mushrooms. While I wouldn’t normally go this route, it is certainly an excellent option for people with a wheat allergy.

There’s only one size (9 inches), which starts at $12.95.

Blue Line also offers salads, beer, paninis and an assortment of appetizers.

I tried the garlic bread ($5) and the spicy chicken wings ($10). The garlic bread is cut up into triangular slices and packed with big chunks of garlic, cheese, butter and basil; the added basil flavor really made a difference. The spicy wings were also quite good. Instead of using buffalo sauce, Blue Line uses a spicy peppery seasoning. Everything I ordered at Blue Line Pizza was delicious. I can easily understand why the place is so busy. —Aaron Carnes BLUE LINE PIZZA 415 E. Campbell Ave.; Campbell; 408.378.2800

Fortunately, there are a number of working models of co-op breweries and brewpubs around the United States operating or in the planning stages, including the successful Black Star Co-op in Austin, Texas, which has more than 3,000 members.

The current San Jose Co-op Brewpub members have come together as a result of a Meetup.com page started by San Jose resident Peter Smith. While living in Austin, Smith learned about Black Star Co-op and became an invested member for $100. According to Peter, people get involved for several reasons: a love of craft beer (“About half the members so far are self-declared ‘beer geeks,’ so that’s great”); a love of locally grown, owned and managed businesses; and a love of the idea of co-ops and democratic governance of businesses.

Joining Peter in the San Jose Co-op Brewpub is fellow San Jose resident Joe Silva, who, along with his wife, hails from Austin. They are Black Star Co-op members and have also directly experienced the success of a cooperatively run brewpub. Peter, Joe and the dedicated volunteers have been busily coordinating the Co-op Brewpub’s first information session and beer-tasting event at which they will officially kick off a membership drive.

On Sat., Feb. 2, from 2 to 5pm at the Drying Shed Restaurant in San Jose, folks can learn about the benefits of being a member and how to become one. Current members will be at this event, and you can talk with them about the concept of co-ops and what it might be like to own a piece of your neighborhood brewpub. The event costs $20 if tickets are purchased online in advance ($30 at the door). There will be live music and beers from about a half-dozen breweries, including the South Bay’s Strike and Faultline brewing companies.

VUSI MAHLASELA Bing Hall, Stanford Wed – 8pm; $10–$56

Here’s a chance to sample the spacious interior and enhanced acoustics of the new Bing Concert Hall as the Stanford Live performingarts series brings South African singer/songwriter Vusi Mahlasela to the peninsula. Sometimes dubbed “The Voice,” Mahlasela played a major part in the fight against apartheid with his politically charged songs, and he was picked to play at the ceremony when Nelson Mandela was inaugurated in 1994. Musically, he ranges freely from pop to blues and soul. (AR)

THRIVE

Mountain Charley’s, Los Gatos Thu – 8pm; $10 Santa Cruz reggae stalwarts Thrive do the genre justice, having opened for reggae heavyweights Steele Pulse and played various reggae festivals. (Thrive will appear this coming May at the Roots Festival at the Monterey County Fairgrounds.) Thrive, however, go past the traditional sound, without losing any of the organic positive vibes. They mix in a little rock & roll and some island pop, making their sound more eclectic. Their album made it to the No. 4 slot on the iTunes reggae charts back in 2010. (AC)

MAXX CABELLO, JR. The Blank Club, San Jose Fri – 9pm; $10 Not many performers can comfortably put on an engaging two and a half-hour set just as easily as a concise 30-minute one. But Maxx Cabello, Jr. isn’t your typical performer. In the last year, he has opened for B.B. King, played the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, headlined at JJ Blues and brought down the house at a raging New Year’s Eve bash in the Virgin Islands. What makes his performances so malleable is the immense variety he has to choose from. He plays everything

from classic soul to Latin rock to energetic blues to just plain rock & roll. He might woo audiences with a tender love song or nail a 10-minute guitar solo. He does it all. (AC)

*sat OZOMATLI

Campbell Heritage Theater, Campbell Sat – 8pm; $39 When L.A. band Ozomatli started out 18 years ago, they had no idea what was in store for them— among other things, being asked by the U.S. State Department to be official cultural ambassadors to countries in Asia, South America and the Middle East. But why wouldn’t they? The band’s cultural

diversity and genre melting pot are exactly what America strives for—taking little pieces of every culture and making them our own.

In Ozomatli’s case, they mash together Latin rock, cumbia, funk, hip-hop, salsa and R&B. It’s fusion in the truest sense. (AC)

BREAD CLUB San Jose Rock Shop, San Jose Sat – 6:30pm, $8 What exactly is a Bread Club? Is that some sort of place where kids go to snack on the latest Kaiser rolls and sourdough loaves?

According to the band’s website, they are simply a band that loves Caps bass player “Bread” so much they named their band after him.

Indeed, that is devotion. But Bread Club doesn’t play rough-aroundthe-edges, old-school punk like

Clay has direct ties to the Bay Area; it was here that functional clay stepped into the role of a contemporary art form. In the late 1950s and ’60s, Peter Voulkos began

to push the boundaries of working with clay. His experiments with combinations of handmade pieces and wheel-thrown forms resulted in a new way of thinking about the material. Voulkos’ students, who later became teachers of his approach, explored this new artistic medium, leading to the creation of two major groups, at UC-Berkeley and UC-Davis, dedicated to seeing just how far sculptural ceramics could go.

“Clay in the Bay” is a testament to the fact that artists have not ceased in their quest to push the boundaries of clay as an art form. The artists in the show were all selected because of their distinctive ways of exploring clay. The pieces range from sculptures that reflect the inner workings of the artist’s mind to installation pieces that interact intimately with the

environment that surrounds them.

“I was looking for artists using the medium in an innovative way,” says Lindsey Kouvaris, curator of exhibits and collections at the de Saisset.

Some of the contributors, like Don Fritz, an art professor at Santa Clara University, use clay as a way to tell a complicated story. His piece, Gift, leads viewers to create their own interpretation of the narrative depicted. Fritz has sculpted clay into the shape of a puzzle piece. The front shows a boy handing a woman something that seems to have surprised her; however, whatever he is handing her remains unidentified in the empty space where another piece would fit.

Others twist clay into wondrous and amusing shapes, such as Bean Finneran with White Cone, Orange Cone and Purple Cone.

Ehren Tool uses his work, 240 of Thousands, to open a dialogue about the politics of war. Santa Clara’s own Francisco “Pancho” Jimenez presents an exploration of the past and all its mystery through his own modern interpretation. Jimenez is

also a professor of art and art history at Santa Clara University and has lived in the area for most of his life.

One of Jimenez’s first exposures to working with clay was when he sat in on a ceramics class taught by Kelly Detweiler at SCU. “That’s when I really began to fall in love with [working with clay],” Jimenez says.

Jimenez tell me that he believes that clay has infinite possibilities for artists: “It’s very malleable—there’s a lineage there. When you look at ancient cultures, what do you find?

Their clay.”

This history is what inspires Jimenez to continue working with the medium. When he was young, Jimenez traveled to Mexico and was immediately taken with the mystery of its ancient ruins. “I loved the marriage of geometry and sense of scale that you see in ruins,” he explains. “For me, clay always felt very timeless.”

Indeed, this concept of timeless mystery can be vividly seen in Jimenez’s work. His pieces combine the basic shapes he has always admired with a decidedly ancient Mesoamerican flair. In Cara a Cara, which means “face to face,” Jimenez plays with the aura of strangeness that often envelops the past. The piece focuses not only on the structure and intricate designs of the clay itself but also on the negative space found around the sculpture.

This framing of space creates a sense of wonder similar to the one Jimenez felt when he encountered the remains of past civilizations in Mexico.

“To me, clay feels honest,” says Jimenez about why he enjoys creating with clay. It is quite apparent that the rest of the artists featured in the show all feel that honesty.

Whether the pieces are purely made of clay or combine it with other materials, each artist honors the timeenduring beauty of the clay.

The other artists on display are Robert “Bo” Kvenild, David Linger, Spring Montes, Matthew Scheatzle, Nancy Selvin, Monica Van Den Dool, Jenni Ward and Stan Welsh.

=i`[Xp E`^_k 8ik C`^_kj AFTER TAKING a winter break, South First Fridays returns for its eighth year on Feb 1. The usual venues are back for the free SoFA District art walk with a new eclectic selection of artists on display and other entertainment.

Anno Domini presents the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Moment (When the World Stopped Turning)â&#x20AC;? by Klone. The exhibition is described as a visible documentation of life featuring symbols of moments throughout childhood and adulthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some realistic, others South unrealistic. Klone, who was born in Kharkiv, First Friday Ukraine, says his art is based on memories he has collected throughout his life. He has traveled from Feb. 1, 7â&#x20AC;&#x201C;11pm his home in Tel-Aviv to be here for the exhibit and Downtown San Jose to work on the installation for the gallery. He will be onsite for an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception from 7 to 11pm. The evening also features music by Halo Between.

SLG Art Boutiki & Gallery hosts a Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;themed show with the Art Boutiki Jazz Quartet performing throughout the night and free comics for visitors. SLG will present a reading in honor of Black History Month.

Phantom Galleries will display â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colorâ&#x20AC;? by Ken Brenner at Pho69 Restaurant.

Brenner has been painting since his early 20s, and his artwork experiments with dimensions of colors and the moods represented by different shades.

Also thinking about the uses of color is Robert Zuchowski, whose abstract paintings will be displayed in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dynamics in Colorâ&#x20AC;? in the Metro lobby.

Kuna cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;encompassing indigenous communities from Panama and Colombiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is on display at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles.

Visitors can make their own felt molas, costumes worn by Kuna Indians that represent their identities in vibrant and colorful ways.

Good Karma Vegan Cafe hosts Joe Pereaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intricate drawings that depict the process of â&#x20AC;&#x153;enantiodromiaâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;when something changes to become its oppositeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Art Ark Gallery presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tango and the Modern Nude,â&#x20AC;? an exhibition focusing on the human body. It will feature a sculpted, relaxed nude body as well as a moving body.

The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events also include the Vandivier Trio playing the music of Wayne Shorter at the Pagoda inside the Fairmont Hotel (starting at 8:30pm). San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Rebelskamp will play rock in multiple genres in the courtyard in front of San Jose Stage, while Cado & Friends perform samba and bossa nova tunes at CaffĂŠ Frascati.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Celeste Lodge

Founder Halfdan Hussey promises the most interactive festival ever. Rather than having a jury select the prizewinning films from among the nearly 300 offerings, the viewers will pick the winners of two cash prizes: $25,000 each for best documentary and best

feature film.

More than ever, the festival will be wired up so that the audience can recommend films via the improved Cinequest website.

For enhanced user-friendliness, the festival is dividing its films into seven categories designated with emoticons.

“What do you feel?” is the motto.

Viewers in a certain mood can seek out films marked in one of the following categories: “Celebration,” “Innovation,” “Inspiration,” “Thrills,” “Laughs,” “Life,” “Love”—unfortunately, no “All of the Above, Plus Plane Crashes, Lingerie and Samuel L. Jackson Speeches.”

Cinequest continues its role as a showplace for local filmmakers, some of them the end result of filmmaking classes at De Anza and SJSU (as with festival favorites like Super Hero Party Clown and All About Dad in past years).

This year’s local offerings include San Francisco filmmaker Sara MacPherson’s Stable Life, a documentary about paperless immigrant workers at Bay Area race tracks. Former area-men Christophe Folino and Todd Burrows based their film Sparks on the first graphic novel made expressly for iPhone: a film noir–style superhero drama with William Katt, who once starred on TV in the early-1980s Green Lantern parody The Greatest American Hero.

Cinequest saw the potential for digital film years ago, back when all that many film fanciers could see were scaly, trembling pixels and urine-yellow halos on the actors’ heads. This year’s festival selections are almost all digital—rare exceptions include Thomas Farone’s at-last-completed Aftermath, the film that actor Chris Penn (“Nice Guy Eddie” in Reservoir Dogs) was working on when he died suddenly.

Also hanging on to 35mm are the not-to-be-missed revivals of silent films: Harold Lloyd—the 1920s avatar of Spider-Man—in Safety Last, and Buster Keaton’s deathless slapstick comedy

Cops. Several memorable films get a refurbished look thanks to Sony’s 4K digital projection system, which will be demonstrated with screenings of Taxi Driver, Dr. Strangelove and Lawrence of Arabia.

“Picture the Possibilities” is a way of lending the power of filmmaking to disadvantaged young people, this time in Beijing, Mexico City, Jakarta and Cambodia. The results of the kids’ work will be displayed along with an onstage conversation with young filmmakers.

This year, Hussey is releasing a book titled The Seven Powers of Creating, detailing his seven-step program to help children find their artistic potential.

Opening the festival is Sally Potter’s Ginger and Rosa, a drama about two girls coming of age in early–’60s London.

Celebrated author Rushdie will appear on behalf of the closing-night screening of Deepa Mehta’s adaptation of Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children.

T Kaiser Thrive presentation is The Wa Wampler’s Ascent, a documentary about cl a climber with cerebral palsy who made u the face of Yosemite’s El Capitan. it up Th entry leads us to a partial roster of That the documentaries, always a strong subset C of Cinequest: The Believers concerns scie scientists who believed that they had disc discovered a frictionless source of energy t form of cold fusion. The Year of in the the Living Dead tells of George Romero’s invention of the gut-munching zombie movie.

The festival also presents a lavish selection of foreign films. One of the most anticipated is Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur’s The Deep, based on the true story of a fisherman’s struggle to survive in the waters off Iceland after his vessel sank. It surpasses any issue of Aquaman comics, not that that’s saying much. The Deep made it to the short-list for the Best Foreign Film award at the Oscars.

Regulars know what a big deal Cinequest is, but for first-timers it’s a particularly overwhelming experience: more than two weeks of celebs, shock, excitement, amusing self-importance, hurt feelings, mobbed receptions, the flash of klieg lights, the rumble of food trucks and maybe the debut of a masterpiece or two. More here shortly.

(Full Disclosure: Metro is one of the sponsors of the festival.)

Brawn and Quartered IT IS likely that Sylvester Stallone, now in his mid-60s, has killed more people onscreen than anyone else in the history of cinema. The question of how this carnage has affected him morally is played with and then discarded completely in Bullet to the Head. The victims don’t matter—they all deserved it. Stallone’s physical erosion looks oddly authentic; Stallone’s plastic surgery makes him appear as if he has had the tar beaten out of him for 30 years. He wears a short, fuzzy widow’s-peaked toupee like the one John Travolta often sports; it looks like the hide of a tennis ball. When he’s on the warpath, he has an underslung jaw and a Popeye squint. The voice is deep and laden with doom. It is without quaver.

The phenomenal Walter Hill directs Bullet to the Head; the script is pure Cannon Films, but Hill delivers this cop/criminal buddy film with brio and pleasure. Wish there was more to be said about Sung Kang, who plays the cop. There’s so little going on with him that you expect he must be a kung-fu expert, but this isn’t the case.

New Orleans showed more skeeviness in Killing Them Softly, but there’s enough soggy rottenness and rust to go around, not to mention Mardi Gras parties

where lesbians tango topless. The villain (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) is named “Morel,” perhaps a way of casting aspersion on the city’s mayoral Morial clan. Morel walks on two canes like Everett Sloane’s character in The Lady From Shanghai. Tottering forward, he informs his henchman: “In classical literature, the hero dies.”

Divided into three programs (Best Animated, Best Documentary and Best Live Action), but the only one thoroughly previewed was the animated category. Of the five nominees for Live Action, one is familiar to those who attended the San Jose International Short Film Festival last fall: the well-received “Asad,” a story of Somali refugees shot by an American filmmaker on the coast of South Africa. Another contender is “Buzkashi Boys” about the national sport of Afghanistan, a dangerous form of polo using a dead goat as a ball. Social justice scores big in the Best Documentary Short category with “Inocente” being the story of a homeless girl who hasn’t allowed the lack of an address to crush her spirits; “Mondays With Racine” is a short documentary about a beauty salon that does free make-overs for chemotherapy patients. The animation category is very strong. The shoe-in for the Oscar is “Paperman,” a wordless romance set in a 1955 NYC cityscape.

Will this be the end of the Italian Stallion? It R; 91 min. certainly looks touch and Opens Friday go. A terrific wrestling fight takes place beside a cavernous indoor swimming pool (they apparently still have heterosexual steam baths in New Orleans)—when Stallone bares his shoulders, the interior is illuminated by a riot of neon tattoos. There’s a reason he’s marked. The subplot tells us that the woman in his life is his beloved daughter, Lisa, an old-school tattooist played by the curvy Sarah Shahi.

The finale is an expertly choreographed axe battle with the towering Jason Momoa. The film could be summed by its product placement for Bulleit Bourbon, treated like a rare luxury when it’s actually $20 a bottle at Trader Joe’s; Hill serves this inexpensive, everyday material with a serious flourish.—Richard von Busack

sure how he felt about actually doing it. He was still reeling from a debacle with Hollywood Records, which had signed his previous group, the Crosswalk, recorded their album and subsequently dropped them without releasing it.

Working with another major-label group didn’t seem like such a good idea.

“I had it out for the industry. [But] my cousin told me it would definitely be a good move to make, so I gave it a shot, and it worked out,” ChesnuTT says.

The Roots’ version, “The Seed 2.0,” became a single on the band’s Phrenology album and the only song to get major radio airplay. With a mix of Black Thought’s rapping and ChesnuTT’s vocal hook, it became an accessible neosoul pop track with hip-hop street cred.

Oddly, the Roots later told him their label didn’t want ChesnuTT to sing on the song because he wasn’t well known enough; they wanted them to use Lenny Kravitz.

“That right there’s how the industry works,” ChesnuTT says ruefully.

The success of “The Seed 2.0” helped bump The Headphone Masterpiece into the Billboard 200. It was an album completely unlike anything out there— a long collection of Guided by Voices– style lo-fi and four-track recordings that jumped all over the place in the most chaotic and jarring ways possible.

It included psychedelic rock, soul, R&B, hip-hop, gospel and punk sounds—and songs that fell outside of any genre. Some numbers were just short little bursts of emotion, while others were long meandering pieces with friends doing spoken word. Others, like “The Seed,” were genius pop gems.

“I wanted to make a statement. It was an in-your-face kind of project. At that point in time, a lot of the bands were too polished. It was completely at the other end of the spectrum,” ChesnuTT says.

Despite the newfound attention, ChesnuTT didn’t immediately release a follow-up recording. He remained more or less silent for a decade, with the exception of an appearance on Dave Chappelle’s Block Party in 2006 and the release of the EP Black Sin No Value in 2010.

Cody’s Capital

In the midst of promoting The Headphone Masterpiece, ChesnuTT became a father.

“I really embraced the fact that I had to change,” he says. “I took time to get to know what fatherhood was all about and make sure I was in the best space possible to raise another human being.

I was re-evaluating myself. I just took time to grow. I didn’t think it was going to take 10 years.”

It was an understandable decision considering the chaotic mind frame he was in while recording The Headphone Masterpiece. “I was all over the place,” he says. “I was rooming with four other people. It was the epitome of the rock & roll lifestyle. You can see it on The Headphone Masterpiece. I had the presence of faith on that record, but there was a darkness—a worldy spirit that occupied my headspace as well.”

Part of changing meant taking his spirituality seriously, which is apparent on his new record, Landing on a Hundred, released last October. Songs like “Till I Met Thee” and “Everybody’s Brother” express a profound spiritual transformation. But really, everything about the decidedly sweet and passionate Landing on a Hundred is different than The Headphone Masterpiece. Rather than capturing his unfiltered emotions, he gave himself a lot of time to consciously shape everything that he was expressing.

“I took the opportunity to really look at each lyric to be sure it was saying everything I needed it to say without saying too much,” he says. “I put a lot of thought into what I had to say.”

In order to make the best possible album, while still maintaining control, ChesnuTT funded the project himself.

When he ran out of money, he turned to Kickstarter to help finish the project and was surprised by the response.

“It just blew me away that people would donate and give so much, especially in a time when people hate paying for a record, even $10,” ChesnuTT says. “But they gave $50– $100 dollars for the project. It shows you the love people have for music, the passion they put behind projects they believe in.”

If they aren’t all they seemed to be, you’ll probably complain a little—that you wasted 79 cents, not the “best years of your life” and the last of your viable eggs.

OK, it’s a little weird that a guy who blurts out “I love you” is squeamish about the B- and G-words, but keep in mind that the last woman he gave his heart to slammed it in the hurt locker.

Also, people hate to fail and resist having their failures formalized.

If he doesn’t call you his girlfriend, maybe those won’t be real tears you’ll cry if you break up, and he won’t have screwed up another relationship; he’ll just have dated somebody awhile and moved on. But even if he is driven by fear, his insistence on taking it slow is a good thing; it suggests that he learns from his mistakes and means he won’t be that guy who calls you his girlfriend pronto and then treats you like some

woman he passed on his way to the men’s room at the corner bar.

Because you can’t know how long his holding-back period will last until he stops holding back, you can start to think the worst. To allay your fears, mark a deadline in your head— perhaps two or three months from now—to see whether the relationship’s progressed to a point you’re more comfortable with and to bail if it hasn’t.

During that time, try not to be so goal-focused that you forget to look critically at how compatible you two actually are and explore your own motivations. For any “official commitment” to last, you have to want him, specifically. It can’t just be that he’s your last chance to experience having everyone turn and gasp as you walk down the aisle—that is, unless you’re in such a rush to get to church one Sunday that you put on stockings but forget to follow up by putting on pants.

<m\ip nfdXe @Êm\ \m\i _X[ X i\cXk`fej_`g n`k_ _Xj ]i\Xb\[ fm\i dp ]i`\e[j_`gj n`k_ fk_\i nfd\e% <m\e X i\cXk`fej_`g n`k_ jfd\fe\ @ i\Xccp cfm\[ \e[\[ Y\ZXlj\ j_\ Zflc[eÊk jkXe[ dp kXcb`e^ kf Xe[ fZZXj`feXccp d\\k`e^ lg n`k_ ]\dXc\ ]i`\e[j% K_\i\Êj efk_`e^ ifdXek`Z ^f`e^ fe n`k_ Xep f] k_\j\ ]i`\e[j# efi [f @ _Xm\ Xep `ek\i\jk `e Xepk_`e^ \m\i _Xgg\e`e^# Ylk \ogcX`e`e^ k_Xk `j XcnXpj _fg\c\jj%ÆDXc`^e\[ “Love is all you need,” lied the Beatles.

Sure, it might start out seeming that way. You meet that special someone, and you fall into bed and see no one but each other for three to six months.

Eventually, however, you start to long for contact with other humans—not because your scruples are on the blink but because you’ve heard all of each other’s most hilarious stories at least twice.

Most couples keep sexy-time activities on the restricted list, but there will be many other interests you share with friends and not each other. Hanging with these friends doesn’t threaten your

relationship; it enhances it, making you more interesting to each other because you aren’t each other’s sole mental, social and emotional watering hole.

It takes a secure woman to understand this—one who needs you because she loves you and not because she skipped over building a self and is using you to cover up the empty slot. A secure woman accepts that there’s always a risk you’ll leave her but understands that the best way to guarantee you will is to make you feel bonded to her—like a fly writhing out its last remaining hours on a strip of flypaper.

Plenty of men, including some septuagenarian sportscasters, find big boobs fascinating, and some women, often with surgical assistance, have made careers out of pushing their buttons.

But life for the well-endowed isn’t necessarily one long day at the beach.

The most common proximate cause of carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, is trapping or compressing the median nerve in the wrist, where it passes through the narrow channel that gives the syndrome its name. In many cases, though, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what brought the condition on. Symptoms typically include burning, tingling or numbness of the fingers and thumb, sometimes radiating all the way up to the shoulder. CTS is most commonly found among those putting a lot of stress on their wrists during the day—this typically includes housewives and workers using vibrating tools, but not, contrary to what was once widely believed, workers typing on computer keyboards.

Big-breasted women are far more likely to have carpal tunnel problems than the rest of us. In the general population, maybe one in 40 people is affected; for well-endowed women, it’s more like one in five. Interestingly, 62 percent of pregnant women get CTS during their third trimester, when their breasts are enlarged. Doctors aren’t sure why, but a plausible guess is pinched nerves not in the wrist but rather somewhere upstream.

One likely location is the shoulder, where the weight of mammaries can produce considerable stress. Big-breasted women often complain of bra straps cutting into their shoulders, putting pressure on something known as the costoclavicular passage. The result can be pain, tingling, tickling and numbness in the shoulders and down the arms, to the point of the hands turning blue. Another problem along

these lines is thoracic outlet syndrome, a combination of pain, weakness and other neurological issues caused by compressing blood vessels and nerves in the shoulder.

Symptoms for these conditions overlap, and they’re not that easy to distinguish. We surmise, therefore, that it’s not so much big breasts causing carpal tunnel syndrome strictly defined—that is, pinched nerves in the wrists. Rather, they can lead to numbness, tingling and pain for various reasons at various spots in the upper extremities, and the description “carpal tunnel syndrome” is applied indiscriminately.

But let’s go on. Other afflictions of the big-bosomed include: © D@C@BGDR A@BJ @MC MDBJ O@HM spinal degeneration and slipped discs.

One study found a 25-year-old woman with B-cup-size breasts has an 8 percent chance of developing spine disorders, whereas a woman with a D-cup has a 44 percent chance. The problem worsens with age; by the time the Dcup woman reaches 35, she’s got an 82 percent chance of having back trouble. © GNQSMDRR NE AQD@SG CTD SN VDHFGS pressing on the rib cage. © NRSTQD @MC RKDDOHMF CHëBTKSHDR The solution for some is breastreduction surgery. One study found 90 percent of large-breasted women with CTS-like symptoms saw partial or complete improvement after surgery. Neck, shoulder and back pain, headaches, pinching bra straps and exercise abrasion also are often reduced or eliminated, it’s easier to find clothes that fit and you attract less unwanted scrutiny. Schoolboys for whom 48DD represents the pinnacle of female beauty may recoil at the thought, but they might consider the inconvenience of walking around with two 10-pound water balloons hung around their necks.

I used to think questions like this were diagnostic of mental deficiency.

Then I heard about the Swedish railroad custodian who accidentally started a train she was cleaning, whereupon it ran to the end of the line, jumped the tracks,

skittered 30 yards across the snow and crashed into an apartment building. So let’s just say while a train driver can’t get lost in the sense that a Boy Scout in the woods can get lost, it’s possible to take a seriously wrong turn.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21–April 19): Wageni ni baraka is a Swahili proverb that means “guests are a blessing.”

That’s not always true, of course. Sometimes guests can be a boring inconvenience or a messy burden. But for you in the coming weeks, Aries, I’m guessing the proverb will be 98 percent correct. The souls who come calling are likely to bestow unusually fine benefits.

They may provide useful clues or missing links you’ve been searching for. They might inspire you to see things about yourself that you really need to know, and they might even give you shiny new playthings. Open your mind and heart to the unexpected blessings.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): “I feel my fate in what I cannot fear,” said Theodore Roethke in his poem “The Waking.” I invite you to try out that perspective, Taurus.

In other words, learn more about your destiny by doing what makes you feel brave. Head in the direction of adventures that clear your mind of its clutter and mobilize your gutsy brilliance. Put your trust in dreams that inspire you to sweep aside distracting worries.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): It’s the First Annual

Blemish Appreciation Week—for Geminis only. One of the best ways to observe this holiday is to not just tolerate the flaws and foibles of other people but to also understand them and forgive them. Another excellent way to celebrate is to do the same for your own flaws and foibles: Applaud them for the interesting trouble they’ve caused and the rousing lessons they’ve taught. I may be joking a little about this, but I’m mostly serious. Be creative and uninhibited as you have fun with the human imperfections that normally drive you crazy.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): When I turn my psychic vision in your direction, I see scenes of heavy rain and rising water, maybe even a flood. I’m pretty sure this has a metaphorical rather than literal significance.

It probably means you will be inundated with more feelings than you’ve experienced in a while. Not bad or out-of-control feelings; just deep and enigmatic and brimming with nuance. How to respond? First, announce to the universe that you will be glad and grateful to accept this deluge. Second, go with the flow, not against it. Third, promise yourself not to come to premature conclusions about the meaning of these feelings; let them evolve.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): “I want to know more about you” may be the most potent sentence you can utter in the coming week. If spoken with sincere curiosity, it will awaken dormant synergies. It will disarm people who might otherwise become adversaries. It will make you smarter and work as a magic spell that gives you access to useful information you wouldn’t be able to crack open with any other method. To begin the process of imbuing your subconscious mind with its incantatory power, say “I want to know more about you” aloud 10 times right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): My hotel was nice, but the neighborhood where it was located seemed sketchy. As I returned to my room after a jaunt to the convenience store, I received inquiries from two colorfully dressed hookers whose sales pitches were enticingly lyrical. I also passed a lively man who proposed that I purchase some of his top-grade meth, crack, or heroin. I thanked them all for their thoughtful invitations but said I wasn’t in the mood. Then I slipped back into my hotel room to dine on my strawberry smoothie and blueberry muffin as I watched HBO. My experience could have something in common with your immediate future, Virgo. I suspect you may be tempted with offers that seem exotic and adventurous but are not really that good for you. Stick to the healthy basics, please.

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): A West Coast DJ named

Shakti Bliss wrote a remarkable status update on her Facebook page. Here’s an edited excerpt: “In the past 24 hours, I did yoga in a bathtub, hauled furniture by myself in the rain, got expert dating advice from an 11-year-old, learned the Lindy Hop, saw a rainbow over the ocean, had thrift-store clothes stolen out of my car by a homeless man, made a magic protection amulet out of a piece of cardboard, was fed quinoa soup by the buffest 50-year-old South African woman I’ve ever met, bowed to a room full of applause, and watched two of my favorite men slow dance together to Josephine Baker singing in French.” I suspect that you Libras will

be having days like that in the coming week: packed with poetic adventures. Are you ready to handle more than the usual amount of stimulation and excitement?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, called himself a Christian. But he also acknowledged that there weren’t any other Christians like him. He said he belonged to a sect consisting of one person—himself. While he admired the teachings of Jesus Christ, he had no use for the supernatural aspects of the stories told in the New Testament. So he created his own version of the Bible, using only those parts he agreed with. Now would be an excellent time for you to be inspired by Jefferson’s approach, Scorpio. Is there a set of ideas that appeals to you in some ways but not in others?

Tailor it to your own special needs. Make it your own.

Become a sect of one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): “Everyone is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day,” said writer Elbert Hubbard. “Wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.” Judging from my personal experience, I’d say that five minutes is a lowball figure.

My own daily rate is rarely less than half an hour. But the good news as far as you’re concerned, Sagittarius, is that in the coming weeks you might have many days when you’re not a damn fool for even five seconds.

In fact, you may break your all-time records for levels of wild, pure wisdom. Make constructive use of your enhanced intelligence!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “Most humans have an absolute and infinite capacity for taking things for granted,” said Aldous Huxley. If that’s true, Capricorn, it’s important that you not act like a normal human in the next few weeks. Taking things for granted would be a laziness you can’t afford to indulge. In fact, I think you should renew your passion for and commitment to all your familiar pleasures and fundamental supports. Are you fully aware of the everyday miracles that allow you to thrive? Express your appreciation for the sources that nourish you so reliably.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Poet Jacob

Nibengenesabe was a member of the Swampy Cree, a First Nation tribe in Canada. He wrote shamanic poems from the point of view of a magical trickster who could change himself into various creatures. In one poem, the shapeshifter talked about how important it is to be definite about what he wanted. “There was a storm once,” he said. “That’s when I wished myself/to be a turtle/but I meant on land!/The one that carries a hard tent/on his back./I didn’t want to be floating!”

By the end of the poem, the shapeshifter concluded, “I’ve got to wish things exactly!/That’s the way it is/from now on.” I hope that will be the way it is from now on for you, too, Aquarius. Visualize your desires in intricate, exact detail. For example, if you want to be a bird for a while, specify what kind.

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): As you sleep, you have at least a thousand dreams every year. But if you’re typical, you may recall only a few of them. Doesn’t that bother you? To be so ignorant of the stories your subconscious mind works so hard to craft? To be out of touch with what the Iroquois call “the secret wishes of your soul”? Now is an excellent time to develop a stronger relationship with your dreams, Pisces. It’s high time to explore the deeper strata of your life’s big mysteries.
