High on Volt Thanks for the cover story on electric cars (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silicar Valley,â&#x20AC;? Oct. 21).

It makes sense that Silicon Valley might be poised at the frontier of this promising new (actually old) way to move people and things from one place to another. Lots of big opportunities now exist for creative and dedicated auto visionaries to become the General Motors of the 21st century. But no

mention of GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chevy Volt, a car that could squash many a well-laid plan by those passionate pioneers featured in an otherwise intriguing piece. Of course, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc., are not exactly taking a nap here. These and other auto giants will soon come to market with Tesla-like vehicles at less than half the price. No wonder the horizon wears so wide a grin.

Ben Thum Mountain View

Nuke Hysteria Until we are willing to get over the nuclear hysteria and build nuclear plants electric cars make little sense.

As an aside, can San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Vision program go around the county and ďŹ x broken sprinkler heads in and around street landscaping, and retail and commercial complexes? I see broken water heads every day

Iran is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest state sponsor of terrorism. It is arming, funding and training Hamas and Hezbollah. They are supporting terrorists who are killing Americans in Iraq.

They are undermining peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians that could lead to a two-state solution and peace.

Iran claimed publicly to have 3,000 working centrifuges but until recently hid their entire uranium enrichment facility in Qom. Now, weeks after those facilities were made public by Presidents Obama and Sarkozy as well as Prime Minister Brown, there will be inspections of those facilities. But what has Iran hidden during these weeks, and are there other Iranian-controlled facilities that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about either inside, or outside, Iran?

The current efforts to insure that Iran has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;peacefulâ&#x20AC;? nuclear program are misguided. An atomic bomb for Iran is a jihadist with a dirty truck bomb spewing out radioactive contamination that will last for decades. The only safe policy toward Iran is no nuclear program at all for Iran until it stops supporting terrorists around the world and stops threatening its neighbors with elimination.

Bob Prichard Tiburon

Struck Down Barry Swenson pushed his high-proďŹ t high-rise residential towers with no smart growth features through the council, and now isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it great he got struck with unsalable high rises with no retail stores, parks and no/few jobs (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surreal Estate Campaign,â&#x20AC;? The Fly, Oct. 21).

IMHO, could not have happened to a greedier donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about San Jose developer than Barry.

Karma From SanJoseInside.com

J!Tbxzpv Special Jerk You, a fortysomething male in a white shirt and tieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perhaps some Mr. VP of Something Something in the big-name high tech ďŹ rm at which we both work. Me, a young female struggling to pull a fully loaded cart. You made eye contact with me as you entered the same door to which I was headed and paused to hold it open for me. However, as I neared the open door, you suddenly let it shut in order to pay heed to your Blackberry. You heard me scream as the cart, too heavy to stop before smashing me into the now-closed door, rammed into my leg. Then you walked right by me yakking into your hand-held, pretending not to hear me crying or see me hunched in pain, and disappeared around a corner. I guess you and your phone call are much more important than the well-being of a mere stock clerk, you arrogant, selfcentered a**hole. There is a special place in hell for jerks like you, and I hope you discover it soon.

HERE’S NOTHING more colorful and vibrant than a few hundred tattooists all laboring in the same place, especially if it’s the San Jose Convention Center.

And there’s nothing more representative of true cultural exchange then the San Jose–Osaka collaboration that penetrates the entire operation.

For three days (Oct. 30–Nov. 1), A Convention of the Tattoo Arts 2009, or as it’s more commonly known, the San Jose Tattoo Convention, storms downtown for an entire weekend of ink, book releases, afterparties, drinks, rawness and pure wholesome pain.

Presented by State of Grace, a renowned San Jose tattoo shop, the event is now in its fifth year. Tattooists from across the globe are showing up yet again, as are plenty of photographers. The merriment erupts on Thursday night, with the San Jose–based Analog Tattoo Collective (ATAK) staging a book release party at Anno Domini for its latest glossy tome, Bloodwork: Sleeves. (See story on page 49). The tattoo convention proper goes off from Friday to Sunday.

This year, one of the special guests of honor is Thom Devita, who opened his tattoo shop in New York City the day after tattooing was made illegal there in 1961. Devita caroused with many of the great American tattooists of the 20th century, including Huck Spaulding, Paul Rogers, Zeke Owen, Cliff Raven and Ed Hardy. Now 77, Devita no longer tattoos but still produces amazing artwork, which he will be hawking at the convention.

The kingpin behind State of Grace is Takahiro Kitamura, a.k.a. Horitaka, or Taki to those who know him. Originally from Japan, he has written and lectured extensively on Japanese tattooing. Just a few weeks ago, he delivered a lecture and slide show at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Several renowned Japanese tattooists took part in the presentation.

And just like San Jose maintains a sister-city relationship with Okayama, Taki has cultivated a sister tattoo-shop relationship with Three Tides Tattoo in Osaka, perennial co-sponsors of the convention. San Jose was among the first cities in the United States to establish a sister-city partnership when its affiliation with Okayama was cemented in 1957, so I see no reason why such an enterprise shouldn’t be extended to a tattoo shop in Osaka. The city of San Jose’s website says, “Each sister city affiliation is part of San Jose’s rich history and represents a bond between the city and people of San Jose with the city and people of our sister city.” Exactly.

Another example: The artist Ichibay, a.k.a. the Demon of Drawing, from Three Tides Tattoo, is also making an The San Jose Tattoo appearance beginning this weekend.

Convention storms Ichibay recently just released his own book of sketches and will be working downtown for an in house at Analog Tattoo the week entire weekend of ink, following the convention. The folks book releases, drinks, at Analog also regularly make guest appearances at Three Tides. It’s like their rawness and pure second home. In Japan, Three Tides wholesome pain is one of the few shops succeeding at bringing tattooing out of the depths of the underground. Not marginalized at all, their shop is housed in a nouveau building and they also do graphic design work.

Even more, there’s no better way to augment this landmark San Jose/Osaka cultural exchange than to feature Japan’s most famous all-female rock band. This Friday, to coincide with the tattoo convention, Shonen Knife is playing at the Blank Club. Also hailing from Osaka, Shonen Knife has been around for more than 25 years and has such a worldwide cult following that in 1989 a tribute album emerged—Every Band Has a Shonen Knife Who Loves Them—with a few dozen bands covering their songs. The last time Shonen Knife played at Blank Club in 2005, the show was their 500th career gig.

Such a partnership meets all of San Jose’s “Criteria of Compatibility and Shared Vision for a Sister City Linkage.” The criteria include arts and cultural institutions, community organizations, opportunity for economic development, tourism linkages and demonstrated community support. Years ago, we used to be able to fly from San Jose direct to Japan, but no more. I say bring that flight back. Japanophiles unite!

A roundup of news, commentary and opinion from around the valley. Opinions expressed do not necessarily reďŹ&#x201A;ect Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editorial views.

LATE last night, I spent 1,500 words FIGHTING WORDS Bet!gps!uif! explaining why Verizonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Droid, like tppo.up.cf.sfmfbtfe!Wfsj{po!Espje!bsf! the dozens of competitors before it, bjnfe!ejsfdumz!bu!BqqmfĂ&#x2019;b!qpufoujbm! is not the ever-sought-after â&#x20AC;&#x153;iPhone gvuvsf!cvtjoftt!qbsuofs/ killer.â&#x20AC;? I really should have just waited until this morning and listened to Verizonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnings call. After all, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg more or less said it himself.

When asked about a possible partnership with Apple in the future with the iPhone, Seidenberg had this to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We obviously would be interested at any point in the future that they would be interested in having us as a partner. . . .This is a decision that is exclusively in Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court.â&#x20AC;?

Judging from the ďŹ rst Verizon commercial about the Droid project, it would seem that they clearly believe it is better than the iPhone.

But if Verizon is so conďŹ dent in this new device, why would they put themselves through the hassle of dealing with Apple to get what they view to be an inferior device?

Because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually think that.

The ďŹ rst sentence of Seindenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks today reads like pandering. The second sentence sounds like Verizonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of telling their customers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing all we can to get the iPhone.â&#x20AC;?

Frustrated downtown nightclub owners back political newcomer in council race; vow to ‘play dirty’ By Jessica Fromm

A

N affable former security guard, bartender and doorman at the popular downtown bar Johnny V’s is eyeing a run for a seat on the San Jose City Council. Tim Hennessey has generated backing from a number of angry downtown club owners, and this December, with no political experience, he’ll start officially vying for a position representing the most high profile council district of the nation’s 10th largest city. It’s an ambitious proposition. He’ll face a popular incumbent in the district that produced two recent mayors— Tom McEnery and Susan Hammer— and two mayoral candidates—Cindy Chavez and David Pandori.

For now, just past noon on a recent Friday, he’s sitting at a table inside the Firehouse No. 1 Bar & Grill on San Pedro Square, sipping a John Daly—vodka, ice tea and lemonade—from a little red straw as he talks about his motivation

for running for office.

“I think it’s time for fresh ideas and fresh changes. I think we need to secure our own destinies,” Hennessey says. “I think it’s time for the younger generation to get involved.

“We can’t wait until we’re 50 or 60 years old and have served on water boards and school boards. We need to act now.”

Hennessey, who resides in Morgan Hill, is the son of Morgan Hill City Councilwoman Marilyn Librers, but he is a political outsider. After graduating from Morgan Hill’s Live Oak High School in 1995, he served a little more than three years in the Army National Guard before attending the Evergreen Valley College Police Academy. Unable to secure his dream job with the Morgan Hill Police Department after graduation, he worked security at Eastridge Mall and then Valley Medical Center. After having a heart attack during a foot chase on

the job, Hennessey was medically retired at age 29. He then moved to downtown San Jose in 2004, looking for a little fun.

“There is only so much staying at home being retired at that age you can stand,” says Hennessey. “I didn’t know what to do with my life, and I had a lot of free time on my hands, so I ended up picking up the skill of bartending, and I worked the door as security at Johnny V’s.”

Over the years Hennessey gained a reputation as a regular on the downtown cocktail circuit, which, he says, turned him on to the plight of the struggling small business owners downtown.

“I have a very good rapport with the majority of the small business owners, entertainment, retail and dining, and that just comes from being a longtime patron of downtown San Jose,” he says. “For years now, I’ve heard all their gripes and grumbles.”

October 28-November 3, 2009 Hennessey says that, in his view, downtown has been grossly mismanaged. After helping his mother with her political campaign in 2008, he decided it was his turn to run for office. He says someone with his background in law enforcement can help bridge the gap between government, police and the nightclubs downtown.

He brings up issues that have been percolating for years and which boiled over when the San Jose Police Department revoked Wet nightclub’s entertainment permit last month, effectively shuttering the club and igniting a lawsuit against the city.

“I feel that small business is under attack in downtown San Jose,” Hennessey says. “We all want the same thing: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How we go about that is important. We can’t have people shanked on the dance floor. But I think that just pulling a nightclub’s entertainment permit, which is the business owner’s livelihood, especially in this economy—it’s difficult to justify removing somebody’s ability to make money, and shut them down.

“I think there needs to be a different process. Of course public safety is an issue, and I’m an advocate of both, but I think we could all play a little bit nicer together.”

Bitter Backers Hennessey may say he wants to play nice, but Ray Shafazand, owner of Sabor Tapas Bar & Lounge on San Pedro Square and one of Hennessey’s biggest supporters, says that he sees the upcoming election season as a chance to get down and dirty.

Sabor hosted Hennessey’s first “meet the candidate” event on Sept. 23, and coming Jan. 10, 2010, Shafazand plans on launching a hardcore opposition campaign against current District 3 Councilman Sam Liccardo.

“I’m going to start a negative campaign against Sam Liccardo, and it’ll be the biggest negative campaign that has ever come to downtown against one councilman,” Shafazand says. “I have all the clubs behind me. Between all the clubs we have 1.3 million emails, and we will be blasting that stuff twice a week &'

against Sam Liccardo. We’re going to do email and text blasts, we’re going to put posters around, you name it.”

Shafazand, who owned the restaurant and dance club Cuccini before it was rebranded as Sabor, has had permit problems that led to litigation in the past with his landlord, Frank Cucuzza. Cucuzza has been part of San Pedro Square property projects with former San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery, and he has sought to evict Sabor. Shafazand believes that McEnery and Cucuzza have influenced city officials to crack down on his club to further their development ambitions.

Shafazand says Liccardo has failed to support him and other night spots because he is taking instruction from McEnery.

“We need to put a people’s person on the council, not somebody who was handpicked by the old mayor, and the wealthy,” Shafazand says. “He’s betrayed his business owners downtown, and he’s going to get it.”

Liccardo says that Shafazand never even tried to contact him about problems at Sabor.

“I’ve never received a single phone call from Ray,” Liccardo says. “The last time I had a conversation with him was the opening day [of Sabor]. I showed up and said, ‘Here’s my name and my number.’”

Liccardo points out that Sabor, which is suing the city, has created “challenges” for the SJPD. “They have the second highest calls for services for any club downtown,” he says.

Liccardo says he thinks the economy and conflicts over how night spots should be run has a lot to do with why some nightclub owners are running a candidate against him.

“The fact that nightclub owners are unhappy doesn’t surprise me a bit because business has been bad,” Liccardo says.

Shafazand says that owners of Motif, Pearl, Wet and Britannia Arms are all in on the stop-Liccardo campaign. None could be reached for comment at presstime. However, over the past several years, these and several other downtown club owners have seen their businesses drop off and have voiced concerns about overly aggressive policing, code enforcement and a lack of support from City Hall in general and Liccardo in particular.

However, some of Hennessey’s bawdier personal photos, which depicted him partying, tongue out, with scantily clad women wrapped around his leg, disappeared from the site a few weeks after it was launched.

Shafazand says that he didn’t know Hennessey until a few months ago, when the 33-year-old walked through the front door and asked him how business was going.

“Unlike Sam Liccardo, who takes his own personal agenda ahead of the working people downtown, I think this guy has no connection to businesses,” Shafazand says.

“He’s not an attorney, he didn’t attend Bellarmine and he doesn’t have any ties.

He’s a retired cop, so he can understand my position as a restaurateur.”

Liccardo says that he is in fact doing his best to hear from his constituents personally, including doing once monthly walks around downtown to talk with business owners.

“In a tough economy like this, it’s often the case that you can be dancing like Baryshnikov and still be too late to save a failing business,” Liccardo says, “so you just do what you can.”

Hennessey knows he needs to get a move on and find an apartment in downtown San Jose by the end of the year, so he can be eligible to run in District 3. He moved back to his hometown to take care of his father, who suffers from paralysis, he says. On a personal level, Hennessey is dealing with the death of his stepbrother, Anthony William Librers on Oct. 17 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound that occurred at a bachelor party at rural Central Valley campground.

Hennessey says he also needs some money.

“Right now I’m borderline broke,” he says.

“I’ve made some investments, some went well, some didn’t. As far as a positive flow of income, I have very little.”

Hennessey will be hosting his second “Meet the Candidate” event at Morocco’s Restaurant on Nov. 7. Shafazand says he will for sure be in attendance.

“We’re going to help this guy to the last breath that we have,” he says. “We need to make sure we get heard, that we get our needs done, and not for the millionaires downtown or the big landlords to get what they want.

“They play dirty. We’re going to play dirty.

It’s going to be a big war, trust me.”

O PARAPHRASE The Serpent and the Rainbow: Don’t bury the South Bay music scene, it’s not dead. After a few tough years that saw all but the most die-hard supporters declaring live music here to have officially passed on, it’s come roaring back in the last year with a combination of new venues, enthusiastic bookers and crowds hungry for the rock. WORKS/San José opened itself up for shows, the VooDoo Lounge stepped up its game, the San Jose Civic went live and the Blank Club had maybe its best show ever this year when James Williamson of the Stooges came out of retirement to play Stooges songs with the Careless Hearts.

Of course, it’s not all beer and roses on the live-music scene; some of those promising new livemusic spots, like The Venue in Los Gatos and now Mission Ale House, are closing, and reliable scenesters like the Arsenic Productions collective are calling it quits.

But the best thing to come out of this resurgence is the new influx of talent across the scene.

These musicians are bringing not just talent but unique and innovative approaches to the music itself. South Bay rock is more diverse and interesting than it’s been in years, and this year Rocktober showcases several of those artists who’ve been thinking outside the fuzzbox in one way or another. Whether it’s the Stout City Rockers’ collaborative musical cross-pollination, the trippy sounds of Vultures Await and Doctor Nurse, or Blank Manuscript’s refreshing commitment to community, this is the best of the South Bay scene’s new breed.

Extra Stout A FTER almost two years in the making, the second volume of Stout City Rockers is finally done. But even now, producer Dave Miller (who has a day job at Metro) is still thinking about what’s not on the record—or rather, who. “There’s probably people that are mad at me because they didn’t get in on it,” says Miller, whose résumé of local bands includes, in reverse order, Talky Tina, Commercial Static, Odd Numbers, Saturday Saints, Not Hot and the New Mosquitos. Though he himself denies it, he became sort of an unofficial chairman of the South Bay rock scene when he put together the first Stout City Rockers compilation in 2007.

It wasn’t the first compilation he’d masterminded featuring local musicians, but it had the biggest impact. Rather than piling together songs by bands related by nothing but geography, Miller actually got them to play together, in various combinations, on songs he had written. Scene fixtures like the Shitkickers’ Shawn Packer and the Forgotten’s Gordy Carbone have returned for a second edition of SCR, along with newcomers like Smash Mouth’s Greg Camp and somewhere around two dozen others. Working on one track a month for a year, with another year for mixing and fixing, Miller says he thinks this second time around is better overall, and he understands why so many local players sign on: “It’s the camaraderie, contributing to the scene.

A lot of these guys don’t play a whole lot. You get

these guys out of the house and up in the studio to create, they appreciate that.” He took the time to run down the second volume of Stout City Rockers track by track; accompanied by my own italicized descriptions of the songs, here are his recipes for the perfect South Bay mix tape.

‘What Do I Know?’

Post-Jam mod rocker uses chugging guitars and socially conscious sarcasm to insist that pleading ignorance isn’t going to get it done.

“That was one of my favorites, and I definitely wanted to sing one of the ones I liked. I liked what it was saying, the message. I thought I could do it the best. Two of the musicians that play on that song, Greg Croak and Chris Smith, are in my band Talky Tina. Chris plays bass and Greg plays guitar.

Randy played drums, Randy Burk from Stout Recording, who recorded the whole thing and owns the studio. ‘Please wipe those flies from their face,’ that was just seeing that commercial with the flies on the kids’ faces and just wanting to ‘change the channel, Jeopardy is on.’ Wanting to keep that out of your sight. You know, ‘Sign me up, so I can drink.’ People don’t want to see it.”

important because “gravity’s stuck on you.”

“I was pretty buzzed, I was walking over to Packer’s house, and the song just came to me. I’ve only had three songs that just came to me, I usually have to sit down and really work on trying to write a song. I knew my wife wanted to sing it, and I couldn’t blow her off. Bry [Caughey] had to come in and coach her, because she didn’t want to listen to me. Couldn’t do it. I’d be like, ‘C’mon, we did this 30 times at the house! Get this!’ I have no patience.”

‘Fire’ Sharp retro rock meets an almost hip-hop-style vocal.

“That was basically Commercial Static—Kyle [Donicci] on drum, Holly [Carthew] keyboards, the same two guys from the first songs on bass and guitar, and I play guitar. Sean Bjordahl from Curbside sings. He showed up to our practices and he knew the song, and he put his own little spin on it.”

‘Evil Love’ Poison love song chock-full of insectoid metaphors and the overall feeling that it doesn’t matter whether or not you see the web being spun.

“Dover [from Saturday Saints] heard that song and was like. ‘I want that song.’ I wasn’t even sure

I wanted to put that one in. I consider that one of my better songs, and I kind of wanted it for myself. But he wanted to do it, so he got to do that one. I was just sitting in my room trying to write a song, and I had a bunch of spiders in my room, and I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a bug, climbing up that wall, just to capture me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an insect too, ďŹ&#x201A;ying through that room, trying to avoid you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Melancholy workaday song is what Husker Du might have sounded like if Bob Mould and Grant Hart could stand each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bryant [Caughey], who did the layout for the album. I went over to his house, and showed him a different song. I sang it, and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool.â&#x20AC;?

Then I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, well, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 4banger, and I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of more â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Banger.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any words to it, I just hummed the melody.

And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We recorded the music on his GarageBand; he came back the next day and had the lyrics written for it. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of his best songs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about his life, it captures his life perfectly.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different drummer on there, Dave Kashka from the Forgotten. I play acoustic. Mike Fox is on that, Greg Croak, Chris Smith on bass.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Remedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lead singer from The Forgotten applies his big punk brain to New Wave, then goes all Johnny Rotten on the last 10 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gordy. I had some cool music, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the melody.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He changed the melody a little bit, and wrote the lyrics for that one. Packer is on it. You try to mix it up, you have Packer, you have Mike Fox, all these great guitar players. Branch [Benson, from Shitkickers] plays bass.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around forever, he was on Star Search and all this stuff. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a singer, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sax player, but I got him to sing.

Doctor Nurse on their longawaited debut, and the Facebook Page of Death

TheDoctor Is In

BY DAVID MA

F

OR YEARS, Doctor Nurse gigged all over the Bay Area, quietly playing bars, garages and the like. No publicists, no mass texts, just reels upon reels of take after take. The San Jose quartet’s Myspace is a cryptic picture from something out of an Ed Wood film; the info section says even less.

Their perfectionist (and yet laissez faire) approach delayed this first album for years. They’re camera shy, and refreshingly humble. “Attention can be nice, but kind of irrelevant to the process,” says Jeff Brummett, the band’s lead singer and songwriter. “Sometimes the purity of art can be twisted or sacrificed to fit some image you think people are looking for. We were doing fine playing in our stuffy basement for years and would be happy to stay there forever.”

Their first official release, Calm Seas, Phantom Lights, is lo-fi rock replete with vintage synths and French horns, vibraphones and organs. The three-part harmonies and psychedelic touches add a sense of reverie throughout the record. For garage rock that skews toward folk, the sound layering is also pretty dense. After piles of demo tapes, 11 songs finally made it onto CD, recorded over three days in a cabin.

Brummett spoke to Metro about the new album.

METRO: Introduce the band.

JEFF BRUMMETT: I play guitar and sing, and Erin Czech plays bass and sings also. Todd Sandigo plays lead guitar and Muller plays drums and sings. Ryan

Summers plays keys. On the recordings however we switch around a lot. These guys are really diverse musicians, so it can add to the spontaneity. We all play several different instruments on the record.

There’s not much info on you guys. What’s up with the ultravague website?

Is it? I guess we’re drawn to the cryptic side of technological expression. You should see our Facebook page; you click it—you die.

Frankenstein’d overdubbed creations. Hopefully the melodies are interesting enough to be able to hum along to.

What do you think of the live-music resurgence in San Jose?

It seems like it’s on an upswing right now. Eric Fanali’s been booking good bands at Nickel City.

The Blank Club has had a lot of great shows this year too. It is what we make it, I guess. Get out there and support! Start your own band!

Talk about the new album a bit.

We started recording a few years ago and realized we weren’t totally sold on some of the material and wanted a fresh start. Muller’s got a studio in his house, so instead of practicing we’d just record new songs instead. Then, for my birthday, my girlfriend secretly got the guys together and we got to go away and record with our gear and our tape machine.

Those sessions make up most of the record.

What’s your songwriting process like?

What songs on the album best sum up Doctor Nurse?

Well, Muller’s on tour right now with the Mumlers, so we’re lying low and going back in the basement. It’s very typical of how we work: put out a CD and then not play any shows for a while. There’s a possibility of a split 7-inch that we’re excited about. We just want to continue our journey of drunkenness and indifference as long as we can. Isn’t that really what everyone wants? M

There are a few, I guess. “Currency Black Hole” and “Exorcising Mrs. Stamp” are examples of our attempts at catchy pop tunes. “Phantom Lights” is one where we get to stretch out our harmonies and explore our folky roots. “Bubbles” and “Earth House” are more experimental and are mostly

I rarely write the lyrics first—usually I’m free forming melodies over chord changes until I’m happy. The lyrics come later. I’m a huge believer in free-form art, the ether and unplanned discovery is usually where the interesting things appear.

It took a long time to get ‘Calm Seas, Phantom Lights’ out there. What’s next for you guys?

Santa Clara’s Red Sunday charm hip-hop label with metal riffs, meet a wizard

sundayDawning

BY EMILY GRUBE

ED SUNDAY is on the yellow brick road. They may not find Oz, but like any aspiring hard rock band, they at least hope to find Ozzfest.

To get there, though, the Santa Clara band needed the right combination of personalities.

Guitarist Steve Beth, percussionist DJ Evol Twizm and drummer Jo Jo Townsell had already proven their courage by pursuing their own artistic vision.

What they needed were the heart and brains.

Coming in to provide the former were vocalist Mike Bunnell and bassist Marcos Carriles. Bunnell won over the band with lyrics that “always touch me,” says Townsell. “There’s a lot of stuff that he writes about that’s pretty amazing.”

In turn, Bunnell believes it’s the band’s music that gives his words their emotional power. ”Hard rock music has always made me feel that sense of just go crazy,” he says, “and when you hear a crunchy guitar riff that goes into a different chord change perfectly, it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. That can really pull emotions out of somebody.”

Carriles, meanwhile, got Red Sunday’s songs pumping. He says he was a fan of his band mates

even before he was asked to join, particularly how they were able to “put out the hard rock and have this guy’s beautiful voice.”

“The way you sing, you hit a lot of kickass notes that I don’t hear from other bands,” he tells Bunnell. “I feel like I could either cry at what you’re singing about, or I could get in the pit and start letting it out.”

With the band no longer a tin-man endeavor, Red Sunday’s music began to come together.

“When Mike and Marcos got into the band, it pretty much took a whole new direction as far as the seriousness of the band. More focused,” says Townsell. “Everything took off.”

But they were still in search of brains to help them navigate the business end of the music industry, and they found them in Jerry “Da Hermit” Dalalo, formerly of the hugely popular local band Insolence. Dalalo owns the Sticky Lab, where Red Sunday recorded their debut album, Truth and Beauty, which came out this summer. He also produced the album, feeling that Red Sunday was the right group to work with for his first such project since leaving Insolence in 2007.

“Not one of them has that rock star attitude,”

says Dalalo of the band. “They are all great guys and characters.”

With his help, the band was the first rock group signed to Low Self Discipline, a hip-hop label ready to diversify after hearing their songs. Now, Red Sunday’s trip down the yellow brick road of rock has expanded to include iTunes, Amazon.com and a slew of live shows, including a gig Dec. 17 at the Voodoo Lounge.

They‘ve dealt with their fair share of wickedness along the way, including a munchkin-size list of places to play, but their biggest nemesis has been confusion over the band’s genre.

“We’ve been a part of this for five years, and we’ve never been able to put a stamp on it because it keeps evolving,” says Townsell.

“We’re all pretty much metalheads,” says Bunnell, “but we write this music that, I guess, the lyrics are high emotion.”

“But with the dark, heavy background,” adds Twism.

“Heavy-metal hippies!” says Beth.

Twism pauses to consider this, then agrees.

“We just don’t use flowers.”

What’s all the buzz about San Jose’s Worker Bee?

BY BEAU DOWLING

T

HE SURVIVAL of a beehive depends upon each bee knowing its role and working together with the rest of the colony.

Without that mentality, the whole system collapses and no sweet, sweet honey is produced.

San Jose’s Worker Bee relies on the same functionality; it’s a collaboration between all of its members. Since the group first got together three years ago, they’ve worked hard, endured touring horror stories, and despite it all, forged on. And why? For the greater good, of course.

“First we’re doing this for the money. Second, the fame,” says lead singer and guitarist Evan Jewett said.

“And, of course, the ladies,” adds drummer Damien Wendel. “So many of them.”

Once again emulating the hive mentality, Worker Bee’s sound is an amalgamation of all four personalities in the band. Jewett comes up with a song idea that is somewhat structured and Wendel, bassist Andy Barnes and guitarist/keyboarist Gordon De Los Santos write their own parts accordingly. De Los Santos says he’s also in charge of the aesthetics of the band. “I take care of coming up with the look and buying our outfits,” he jokes.

Before they worked on their latest album, Tangler, Worker Bee was going through a stale period. They had put out four-song EP that had

taken a year to complete. They weren’t playing many shows, either. They would write one song, and then at least six months would pass before they wrote another.

“We weren’t too ambitious,” Barnes says.

Then, inspiration struck.

“I got into this mode where writing was coming to me really easily,” Jewett says. “All the songs were written pretty close together, which hadn’t happened before. For this album I was really trying to open up. We all got into a groove, and because of that, the songs all have a similar feel. It’s cool because I never really had that before.”

As Barnes describes it, it’s more of an “us” album, showing off their natural camaraderie.

The band is currently on a two-week tour in support of the new album. They’re familiar with the perils of the road. The last night of their first tour, with a total of eight people in their touring van, they were heading back to San Jose from Seattle when the brake pedal got somewhat stuck and the van wouldn’t stop.

“We went through a couple red lights, honking the horn,” Wendel says. “Luckily, it was late and there weren’t many people around. I had to down shift to stop. We took it to Midas and paid a bunch of money to fix it. We got on the freeway and

suddenly started to hear the lug nuts coming off the tire. I started to brake and the pedal was hard again, but I was still able to stop. We got home OK. It’s fixed now—hopefully.”

On that tour, Worker Bee shared the stage with a Heart cover band and what they described as a “world music band, with a lot of interpretive dancers.” It definitely helped them to define what the band is not.

“There were older ladies and gentlemen playing flutes and the like,” Jewett says. “We’re not a very friendly band in a party atmosphere because we’re not danceable and it’s not ‘fun’ music, necessarily.

We had an argument with the Heart cover band because we wanted them to play last because they were the fun, party band, and they refused to play last. Somehow I allowed that to happen. I should have done something, with my huge muscles.”

Wherever they play, it’s hard to imagine there’s anything else these four friends would rather be doing. It’s what they live for.

“I want to be doing music for the rest of my life, till death do us part,” Jewett says. “With this record we really want to try to make things happen, like actually have people know who we are even though we’ve never met or played in front of them.

That’s the goal for now.” M

Inside the San Jose lair of Vultures Await

BY GARRETT WHEELER

peckingorder O

N a recent Thursday evening, the members of the local rock trio Vultures Await gathered at their central San Jose practice pad, which doubles as the home of drummer Anthony Scott. From the street the dark green single story building looks no different from any of the other houses in the area, but walk inside and it becomes clear that this house exists in an entirely different world. This is a darkened lair of rock & roll.

The dimly lit interior of a small living room is covered floor to ceiling with posters, flags and other forms of homage to the gods of rock: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead. Guitars of various denominations line the walls, as does a huge hand-painted tapestry that bears the Vultures Await moniker. Two enormous amplifier stacks sit a few feet apart. Adjacent to the living room is a narrow hallway which, incredibly, is fitted with Scott’s full size drumset on one side, complete with a massive gong hanging overhead. Against the other wall, a bookshelf stands loaded with an assortment of rockrelated trinkets, plastic skulls and Godzilla figurines.

The amplifiers are turned on, and a low hum reverberates through the house, warning anyone inside of the impending explosion of sound. Guitar and bass are tuned, and drum heads are tightened. I take a seat on the couch, propping myself on a Jimi Hendrix pillow as Vultures Await begins to rehearse.

The band, looking ’70s in sideburns and worn-out

jeans, dives into a gritty power riff, and I’m instantly transported back in time to the golden age of hard rock. The sound emanating from the amplifiers is bluesy, gutsy garage rock a la Zeppelin, Hendrix and Sabbath. Guitarist Steve McAulay’s cream-colored Stratocaster delivers an earth-shattering snarl while Scott pounds out a huge, plodding drum beat that marches forward from some dark, primeval universe. Singer/bassist Matt Tognetti issues a rumbling bass line as he approaches the microphone to sing; his voice, part Ozzy, part Delta bluesman, is perfectly matched to the music swirling around him. McAulay engages his wah-wah pedal and launches into a screaming guitar solo as the song escalates into a romping slab of rock & roll ecstasy.

Later, we’re sitting around a table on the back patio, talking music. Cigarettes are lit, beers are cracked open. “The thing about rock music is that everything’s already been done,” McAulay says. “So to make a song original, you have to be able to piece together a bunch of different things and then make them your own.”

The conversation turns to the state of modern rock, and perhaps surprisingly, the three musicians are pretty optimistic. “The Internet has completely changed the music industry,” says McAulay. “Even 10 years ago, things were really different. Now you can record yourself, put your songs online for millions to hear and sell your own music—that’s pretty good

for small bands.” Tognetti points out that the days of sending out demos to record labels in hopes of a paycheck are long gone, but adds that “if you’re in it for the money, then you’re barking up the wrong tree.”

Vultures Await came together a few years ago as remnants of two deceased bands, and originally a fourth member handled the vocal duties. But soon the group was cut down to its current lineup, with Tognetti taking over on the microphone. With a debut album in the works and a handful of gigs under their belts, including a few stints opening for metal powerhouse High on Fire, the trio are poised and ready to emerge from their darkened lair. The Vultures Await name was Scott’s idea: “I was joking around with my buddies and I told them that I drink so much, vultures follow me around waiting for me to die.”

While it’s easy to pinpoint some of the obvious influences that permeate the Vultures Await sound, the band is also intriguing because, in reality, they don’t clearly resemble anybody. “We all have so many different bands we like across all genres, when we come together and write songs they usually end up being pretty original,” says Tognetti.

“At the end of the day, if we like it, then we’ll play it—we’re not trying to please anybody,” adds Scott.

“But we’ve found that people seem enjoy the stuff we come up with.” M

A.P.E. swings into the scene with an endless hip-hop flow

BY MAKENZIE ROSENGREEN

Action Packed P RINCE Jaheem, Saadeio, Duke Gritty, Shooter McGavin and Dre Kash all attended school together in San Jose.

Driven by their passion for music, they grew up making beats and writing rhymes in their apartments. Their goal was to produce as many songs as possible. Eventually, they formed the hip-hop group A.P.E.—short for Action Pack Entertainment—and their focus turned to touring and being heard.

But their grind mentality hasn’t changed. Their latest album, Apes on Grapes, took them 16 months to record. It’s a 15-track album with a solo from each artist, a few collaborations and one group joint. The A.P.E. set wanted to make sure they showcased everyone’s individuality.

“A lot of groups don’t do that, because they’re scared to show their individuality. We’re all individuals. We just come together because we sound so much doper together, but we want to

show that we got it on our own too,” says Prince Jaheem.

“The fans out there can get a taste of each one of us, and get to know us personally,” says Duke Gritty.

Their group joint, “Don’t Touch My Cup,” also serves as their single. It’s an alcohol anthem for the clubs. “It’s a nice little party lick. A smooth blues lick idea. Something universal. Something for the party people,” says Saadeio. It’s also a reflection of Action Pack Entertainment’s efforts to make music fun again. The group steers away from being hardcore and all about the streets.

“We’re just trying to bring the love for hip-hop music back so everybody can just have fun and party,” says Duke Gritty.

Of course, in a business like the music industry, everything isn’t always going to be smiles and daps, especially for a group in the process of building its fan base. A.P.E. admits it can be rough, but there

are things that make their hustle a little more bearable. “A lot of times it’s not the immediate people on the microphone, it’s the people around you that keep the movement going. So it’s hard, but it’s easier if you have a movement,” says Prince Jaheem. Duke Gritty says the toughest part of the business is simply the day-to-day hustle, but he keeps his eye on the prize, or in his words, “On the gold pot at the end of the rainbow.”

The A.P.E. set has performed throughout the Bay Area, as well as Nevada, the Northwest and Southern California. It’s now in local stories and online, but they want to get their music out everywhere—when they joke about how you can even purchase their album at liquor stores, you can tell they wouldn’t mind.

“If you listen to the album you’re going to get 100 percent of how we are in real life. Were some normal guys out here,” says Prince Jaheem. “We’re just trying to make it, you feel me?” M

Blank Slate The Blank Manuscript’s political messages are anything but empty

S

BY GARRETT WHEELER OME BANDS play for fun. Some bands play for money. Some bands play to score. San Jose’s Blank Manuscript plays for something far more important: the community. “For us, music is about so much more than just playing shows and recording albums,” says Manuscript keyboardist Matt Gonzales. “We want to use our voice as a vehicle for change, and try to make a difference in the world. We want to open minds.”

Since its inception in 2005, Gonzales, along with guitarist/vocalist Jose Leyva, drummer Christian Montiel and bassist Eddie Montelongo, have been active participants in a myriad of social causes, including playing benefit shows for local nonprofit organizations. Groups like SJSU’s Student Advocates for Higher Learning (SAHE) and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) have all benefited from the band’s community activism. Gonzales says the Blank Mansuscript feels a certain responsibility to help raise awareness on a wide range of issues from immigration to education to breast cancer. “We try to do whatever we can to help the community and to be involved with positive change,” he says.

Aside from the band’s willingness to partake in events aimed at community awareness, the Blank Manuscript also speaks emphatically through its music, a heady combination of prog-rock, jazz, metal and a few dozen other styles. Songs like “Abrir Los Ojos (Open the Eyes)”, which morphs from a blistering two-minute prog-metal intro into a classic-rockmeets-punk song, before settling into a slow, psychedelic haze, and “Blind Youth” offer listeners an intensely diverse musical journey. “We all come from different musical backgrounds,” says Gonzales when asked how the group manages to conjure such a unique sound. “I’m more of a reggae and jazz guy, and Dennis and Eduardo listen to a lot more rock and metal. Christian likes a lot of jazz and progressive rock. One thing we all have in common is a love for the Doors and newer bands like Isis and the Mars Volta.” Gonzales also says the Blank Manuscript draws influence from a handful of rock en español bands such as Caifanes, Café Tacuba and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.

A debut full-length album (the band has released two EPs), Cambia Sociedad (Change Society), is in its final stages, and Gonzales says it will feature a fresher, funkier sound than past efforts, plus a few slower songs “that you can chill to.” The band also landed a slot at the El Mexicano Rockfest concert, which featured Latin rock pioneers El Tri along with Ramones drummer Marky Ramone. For Gonzales, playing at Rockfest is another step toward the band’s ultimate goal: broadcasting their music, and their message, to world. “We dream of taking the Blank Manuscript to an international level,” Gonzales says.

BLANK MANUSCRIPT plays Nov. 3 at 7:30pm at San Jose City College as part of its Dia de los Muertos event, and Nov. 6 at the Uproar Art Exhibit at South First Billiards.

Miami Nice

T

HE LAST TIME that bright neon clothing was popular, so was Miami Vice, and not the 2006 remake either. The ’80s birthed Flock of Seagulls hairstyles, rolled-up jacket sleeves and neon everything, and over the course of the last few seasons, it seems all of these styles have been resurrected.

Blasting from the past, the winter 2009 collections of fashion greats like K:GH68:!

8=G>HI>6C 9>DG and B6G8 ?68D7H are glowing with vibrant pink, electric blues and popping yellows. The world has been given a second chance to handle neons, but there are rules for any explosive ensemble.

The outfit should be limited to one neon color. At the B>8=6:A @DGH fashion show, a model wore a pink dress with a silver, chain-link necklace and gold-tinted heels with a peep of pink on the tips. An overload of highlighted colors can be too much of a good thing, so one must stick to a single neon color.

Muted and neutral shades can complement a burst of neon. Khakis, whites and blacks help all shades from traffic-cone orange to radioactive green seem that much more vibrant. Whether it’s adding a black belt to a form-fitting dress or black leggings with an intense cape coat (Marc Jacobs did this very well this season), the look will work as long the neon color is accentuated properly.

The opposite tactic can also be applied. When Angelina Jolie went to the BAFTA Awards, she wore an 6GB6C> EG>Kw dress that was all black except for a slit of neon yellow. It gave the outfit a pop of color that turned a ho-hum dress into an artistic vision.

With this trend, the outfit does not have to be 90 percent neon and 10 percent neutral, or even 50/50. The beauty of it is that it is up to the wearer how much neon should shine through. Branching off of the gumball-colored phase, neon nail polish is appropriate although it is encouraged to stick with the reds and yellows. Also, accessories apply to the one-neon rule and should be minimal (one big necklace or bracelet or statement clutch). Remember that the spotlight will shine on the neon, so one must avoid cluttering the outfit with too many distractions.

A look back at the ďŹ rst Silicon Valley Restaurant Week_45

On a rainy day, nothing tastes better than soupâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vietnamese restaurants ďŹ ll the need

RIVING TO WORK during the big rainstorm two weeks ago, it hit me like a sheet of water from a passing big rig: I must have soup.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culinary clichĂŠ, but when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wet and dreary I start thinking of soup. Properly motivated, my next task was to ďŹ gure out just what kind of soup. My ďŹ rst thought was a steaming bowl of pho, pho being what I think is Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most distinctive dish. But that would be too easy. The Vietnamese beef noodle soup is rightly beloved, but I decided to explore some lesser-known Vietnamese soups, known as canh.

To make it even harder I ruled out pho ga (chicken noodle soup) and bun bo Hue, too. Bun bo Hue is phoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spicier, central Vietnamese cousin. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great soup, and I actually prefer it to pho, but it and pho ga should be pretty familiar to anyone who spends time in Vietnamese restaurants. I wanted to go further aďŹ eld in my search for Vietnamese soupy goodness. So over the course of the next few days, I began my soup search.

And yes, last week I reviewed Santouka, a new ramen restaurant, so you might ask what the deal is with all the Asian noodle soups.

What can I say? I like the soupy

noodles. So without further ado Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to introduce you to hu tieu, mi quang, bun rieu and the beguiling cha ca thia la.

Hu Tieu (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;who tee-uâ&#x20AC;?) is a huge class of noodle soup. At its most basic, the broth is made from pork bones, but without the distinctive ďŹ&#x201A;avor of ďŹ sh sauce that pervades so many Vietnamese dishes. The noodles can be made from rice, tapioca or eggs, but the hu tieu noodles are always thin like vermicelli. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the soup is where things get unpredictable.

Sliced pork or ground pork is common, as is seafood. I spooned into a noteworthy bowl of hu tieu at Ca Mau, a ďŹ rst-rate restaurant in southeast San Jose. Story Road was the epicenter of the Little Saigon dustup last year and is generally thought of as the heart of San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vietnamese community, but traveling southeast down White, Tully and Quimby roads reveals a gold mine of Vietnamese restaurants of every kind imaginable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the area where I found Ca Mau. The restaurant is noteworthy not only for its hu tieu, but for its gorgeous ďŹ&#x201A;oor-to-ceiling mural depicting farming, rice paddies and ďŹ shing scenes in Vietnam.

As for the hu tieu, the house special is the mi ca dac biet ($6 small,

$6.95 large). The dish translates as â&#x20AC;&#x153;special Chinese egg noodle with ďŹ sh and just about everything else.â&#x20AC;?

In this case, that means sliced pork, ground pork, squid and whole shrimp.

Just as hamburgers are served with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and pickles, Vietnamese soups are all served with a particular set of garnishes. It may look like a haystack of lettuce and herbs, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a bit of variability depending on the kind of soup. Hu tieu traditionally comes with chives and Chinese celery, the pungent leaves and ribbons of the crunchy stalk. You also get the standard bean sprouts, basil leaves and jalapeĂąos. The chives were already sprinkled on top, and I added a handful of celery and basil leaves, and it really brought the ďŹ&#x201A;avorful broth to life. A spoonful of the superb chileâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;lemon grass paste set out on the table makes this satisfying soup even better. I liked it at the ďŹ rst spoonful, and it got better from there.

My new favorite soup is mi quang (â&#x20AC;&#x153;me kwanâ&#x20AC;?). What sets this central Vietnameseâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style soup apart is the striking, taxicab-yellow color of the wide egg noodles and the broth that comes from the addition of turmeric.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also served with a dusting of

ground peanuts and a crisp rice cracker ďŹ&#x201A;ecked with black sesame seeds. The amount of broth served with the soup ranges varies from place to place. I like a wetter version myself.

The ďŹ rst place I had this distinctive soup was My Khe Quan Hue. Here the voluminous bowl ($6.50) is sprinkled with ground peanuts as well as fried shallots and loaded with slices of mild ďŹ sh cakes and pork. The broth has a clean, refreshing ďŹ&#x201A;avor.

Another good source for mi quang is Pho Yen. The simple but clean restaurant is best known for its pho, but the mi quang ($7) is great. In addition to sliced pork, shrimp and squid, the soup ďŹ&#x201A;oats two quail eggs with perfectly soft-cooked yolks. The nutty, rich broth had me spooning way past the point of full.

With a full belly of Pho Yenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mi quang, I pointed my car toward one of San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two greatest one-stop shops for Vietnamese foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Story Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Century Mall. (The other one is Lion Plaza on Tully Road.)

Bun rieu is another of my favorite soups and Pho Phi Long, a ďŹ&#x201A;uorescent-lit, Formica-table spot next to the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s row of food stalls, is the place for it. Bun rieu is (.

made from thin rice noodles and ground rice-paddy crabs formed into savory little balls, but in the American restaurants they sometimes have to use other kinds of crab. The soup ($6.95 small, $7.95 large) is enlivened with tomatoes to give it a sharp, pleasingly acidic bite that tempers the richness of the crab and the addition of fried soft tofu. The unsmiling servers are brusque, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care as soon as I got the soup.

My ďŹ nal stop on my Vietnamese soup tour was Nha Toi, a San Jose restaurant that specializes in elegantly prepared northern Vietnamese food. Although pho is a national dish in Vietnam, northern Vietnam is where the soup originated. So naturally, when I pointed to the falling rain and said I was in the mood for soup, co-owner Susie Bui directed me to pho. When I explained my interest in soups other than pho, she thought for a minute and suggested cha ca thia la ($7.95). She picked a winner.

The northern Vietnamese soup is based on chicken broth, but the star ingredients are lightly fried ďŹ sh balls and a ďŹ stful of fresh dill. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat enough dill. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a refreshing, distinctive herb that pairs really well with ďŹ sh. The soup has a tangy, fresh quality thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really set off with the addition tomatoes and green onions. My yen for a rainy day bowl of restorative, warming soup was fully satisďŹ ed.

Italian Vintages

Y

OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE HAD chianti and sangiovese before, maybe even a super Tuscan or a barbaresco if someone else was paying. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like most people your experience with Italian wines doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go much beyond the stuff served in straw-covered bottles.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes 9DC6ID :CDI:86Ă&#x2030;H :CDI:86 &%% event on Nov. 7 such a great opportunity. The new Redwood City restaurant will host a showcase of more than 100 Italian wines matched with chef and owner 9DC6ID H8DII>â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-notch food from 1 to 4pm. Regions represented include Valle Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Aosta, Piedmonte (mmm, barolo), Alto Adige, Friuli, Toscana, Sicily and Sardinia.

For the price of admission, attendees will be able to taste any of the 100-odd wines at the event and enjoy specially prepared appetizers. While not included with the entry fee, Scotti will also be serving a full menu and several specialties to complement the multitude of wines including wild boar bruschetta, house-made sausage, porcetta (whole roasted pig), grilled wild prawns and mild braised baccala (salt cod).

Tickets for the event are $70 for a VIP preview, $55 for general admission and $50 for a limited number of early bird tickets. To purchase tickets, go to donatoenoteca .com. No one is expected (or advised) to taste all 100 wines, but if you do thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Caltrain stop across the street to get you home.

Restaurant Week Digest

D

ID YOU get your ďŹ ll at H>A>8DC K6AA:N G:HI6JG6CI L::@? The ďŹ rst-ever (but deďŹ nitely not the last) event wrapped up last week. I was home with two sick kids most of the week, but judging by the happy chefs and managers I spoke to, almost everyone else in Silicon Valley ate quite well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my God,â&#x20AC;? said C>8@ KG><C6J9, manager of Saratogaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s H:CI HDK>. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did huge, huge numbers.â&#x20AC;? The small dining room seats about 30 people and typically does 50 covers on a good night. The restaurant did at least 50 each night of the weeklong event, and on Saturday the restaurant had 96 customers, possibly its biggest night ever.

Vrignaud said diners were out looking for bargains, and the e vent provided friends and family a chance to spend time together dining out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With prices like that, there was no excuse not to,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Over in Campbell, IL>HI 7>HIGD did quite well, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was outstanding,â&#x20AC;? said chef and co-owner 9DB>C>FJ: ;6JGN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was packed every night. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it again.â&#x20AC;?

By the ďŹ rst day of the event, reservations were sold out for the entire week. Faury said that about 70 percent of his customers ordered from the prix ďŹ xe menu, but he was pleased with check averages because diners didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skimp on wine and ordering additional dishes.

Response to his three-course meal was so good, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuing to offer it. Entree choices include hanger steak and fries, steamed Alaskan halibut and portobello Napoleon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are looking for deals all the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about.â&#x20AC;?

At I6E:HIGN in Los Gatos, the owners were pleased that the weather cooperated so patrons could be seated on the outdoor patio. Otherwise the restaurant would have had to turn away diners as at nearby C>8@Ă&#x2030;H DC B6>C. Of course not every restaurant packed them in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what I was expecting,â&#x20AC;? said 69DA;D <DB:O, owner of B:O86A in downtown San Jose.

Even though he was offering four courses and a shot of Don Julio aĂąejo tequila for $35, business was just average, he said. He ďŹ gures because his prices are already reasonable, customers went to higher-priced restaurants like 6A:M6C9:GĂ&#x2030;H HI:6@=DJH:!

FJ6IIGD or ;DG7:H B>AA! where there was a perception of more bang for 35 bucks.

For the next Silicon Valley Restaurant Week, Metro Newspapersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CEO Dan Pulcrano, who spearheaded the event, is considering adding a two-tiered structure where higher-end restaurants would offer a prix ďŹ xe menu at one level and midpriced restaurants would offer a lower-priced menu.

As Restaurant Week moves forward, I hope it continues to bring out value-hungry diners, but also that it helps grow Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant scene. A thriving food scene depends on two things: good restaurants and good diners. Restaurant Week helps prime the pump by encouraging local diners to get out there and eat. Even some restaurant week participants were spotted checking out other restaurants. Some on the staff at O>IJC: in Los Altos ventured over to E6G8:A &%) in Santa Clara to see what was cooking. That kind of cross-fertilization can only beneďŹ t the local restaurant scene.

A Call to Arms BVm 9daWZg\

The Analog Tattoo Arts Kolectiv unleashes a weighty book illustrating full-arm skin art

ARMS AND THE MAN ÕCmppeTmffwftÖ!vtft!b! àftiz!dbowbt!up! hsfbu!fggfdu/

EASURING 16 by 10 inches, the new book BloodWork: Sleeves tips the scales at more than 10 pounds. Produced by the Analog Tattoo Arts Kolectiv (ATAK), the gargantuan project comes with a slipcover and hand-stenciled mailing case.

The front of the jet-black tome contains an embedded circular hologram featuring a photo of someone’s torso covered in tattoos from top to bottom, neck to arms.

When viewing the hologram from different angles, the subject’s arms move up and down as if he’s starting to fly. Inside the book, one finds gatefold after gatefold, as every other page folds out with a different glossy composite of photos of sleeve tattoos—i.e., those in which the person’s entire arm is covered. In each case, the person with the tattoo, a.k.a. “the collector,” shows off different angles of his or her sleeve, and the photo is then spliced together in a wingspan or rotational composite, displaying different angles of the person’s arm in one unique singular view, so it looks as if the subject has multiple appendages.

The photo shoots for the 67 sleeves

By Gary Singh took place in San Jose, Los Angeles, London and Zurich, representing tattooists with different styles from all over the world. The stated goal was to document, exhibit and publish a comprehensive exhibition of sleeves by the entire world-tattoo community. Conceptualized and compiled by Analog’s Adrian Lee, the project amazingly managed to unite a global assemblage of tattooists— usually the kind of folks who would rather just do their own thing and not take part in a project of this magnitude and complexity.

“Asking tattooers the world over to participate in a highly choreographed project of this nature would be a conspicuously ambitious, politically sensitive and potentially reckless endeavor,” writes Lee in the book’s introduction. “Being fiercely independent creatives, tattooers are justly protective of their craft and wary of outside meddling. As Mike Malone was known to say, ‘We’re pirates.’ This mistrust of outside intervention is intensified by the recent increase in corporate exploitation of tattoo culture, which siphons life from (and risks trivializing) the craft.”

Instead, BloodWork: Sleeves is

project entirely designed by and for people who tattoo for a living—a 100 percent do-it-yourself endeavor.

The core elements of the craft are preserved, and people’s trust is maintained. The contributors from across the globe know that their talents are not being exploited and misunderstood by some ineffectual bungling publisher who knows absolutely nothing about tattooing.

In conjunction with the San Jose Convention of Tattoo Arts, which hits the San Jose Convention Center this weekend, a book-release hoedown for the book takes place at Anno Domini this Thursday (Oct. 29), officially kickstarting the convention weekend.

Many of the collectors photographed for the book will attend. The party also celebrates the 2-year anniversary of the Analog Kollectiv, which was previously incarnated under another moniker, the New Skool Kolectiv (NSK).

Three years ago, NSK produced a similar book project, titled Full Coverage, featuring photos of back projects, where the collectors’ entire backsides were tattooed. That particular book-release party took place in conjunction with the 2006 San Jose Convention of Tattoo Arts

and also went down at Anno Domini.

It was a huge success, with hundreds of convention-goers and regular folks from the street packing the gallery to see 33 people display their entire tattooed backsides. Lee, then of New Skool, coordinated the affair.

“We always give Adrian the opening party, because he does a really good job at it,” said Takahiro Kitamura, the San Jose–based organizer of the convention.

Finally, if you’re among those who think tattoos on other people are great to look at, but you yourself wouldn’t want one, well, this party is a perfect opportunity to gawk.

Human canvases are essentially the gig here. The desire to maintain control over and embellish one’s own flesh is part of our universal collective existence. Corporeal human bodies will eventually wither away, which makes documentation that much more important. So if you can’t afford the book, at least bring your digital cameras and photograph the arms at hand.

The BLOODWORK: SLEEVES party takes place Thursday (Oct. 29), 8pm till late, at Anno Domini, 366 S. First St., San Jose. (408.271.5155)

Tabard Theatre continues the saga of the singing sisters with musical revue â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Taffeta Weddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

*Part of the A Stanford student-curated ensemble (TBA) opens the show with a short set at 8pm.

ICK LEWISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest installment in the Taffetas series, A Taffeta Wedding, transports audiences back to 1964 when doo-wop music ruled the airwaves, and there was nothing classier to wear than taffeta. In this Tabard Theatre premiere, the stage is set for the musical wedding of the century when the Taffetas, the singing sisters from Muncie, Ind., get married to the Cardigans, their male doppelgangers, in front of a live television audience. As both groups perform hits from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s before their quadruple wedding, an event transpires that leaves the sisters questioning their love and their wardrobe.

The sisters Peggy, Kaye, Donna and Cheryl are able to weave their voices together to create a strong four-part harmony. While there are times when the soprano notes overpower the other voices, those times are few and far between. When the girls are in sync, they sound as ďŹ&#x201A;uid as performers that have been working together since childhood, especially on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Sandman.â&#x20AC;? Like any boy band, the Taffetas ďŹ ll the roles of different stereotypes to distinguish themselves and to entertain. Shannon Ryan as Donna is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cute one,â&#x20AC;? complete with squeaks when she is happy and childish pouting when she is hurt. Cheryl, played by Robyn Winslow, is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexy oneâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Betty Boop incarnate. Her voice is giggly without being obnoxious, and her obliviousness is charming. Hayley Lovgrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peggy is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong one,â&#x20AC;? the only one to embrace her anger with hilarious results. Finally, Diane Milo (the only returning cast member; she played Kaye in The Taffetas and A Taffeta Christmas) is comfortable in her role, but she tends to slip through the cracks with no discernable personality type.

The Cardigans are able to combine their pitch-perfect tone with great comic timing in songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running Bearâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sh-Boom.â&#x20AC;? The real showstopper was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unchained Melody,â&#x20AC;? in which Mike Amaralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead vocals were unchained. Ben Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo, Greg Goebel and Tim Reynolds were able to provide the beautifully controlled backing that gave the song emotional crescendos. All of the men were able to take lead turns with ease, including Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo, whose surprising range was able to reach a basement bass.

The set was dressed up as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happily Ever Afterâ&#x20AC;? television show, creating the illusion with applause signs, fantastic lighting and the host, played by Ron Packard. The constant pitches for the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor provided laughs, but the best gimmicks featured audience participation. Although the campiness could have been played up more for humor, the show had its charm with tongue-and-cheek pokes at Stepford Wives tendencies. This show will either inspire some humming or the desire for a root-beer ďŹ&#x201A;oat.

Director Agnès Varda explores her own filmmaking urges in beautiful ‘The Beaches of Agnès’

By Richard von Busack

A

GNÈS VARDA opens her documentary The Beaches of Agnès with the comment “I’m playing the role of a little old lady.”

On a beach, she sets up cameras and ornately framed antique mirrors. Her children and grandchildren help her change the looking-glass angles to see themselves, Varda and the cameras behind her. These children look slightly apprehensive: What will this eccentric demand of them next?

This is Varda’s essay on herself, as a filmmaker startled to discover that she’s about to be 80 years old.

What holds the film together is the theme of the waters’ edges; at beaches, riversides, canals or stone quays, she voyages out and returns home.

In one instance, setting up a mock version of her office, Varda pours sand into a Parisian street and poses clerks at desks in bathing suits. This idea rhymes with that incident during the 1968 rebellion, when the students pulled up the cobblestones for weapons against the police, and discovered golden sands underneath.

In another incident—Varda describes it as “a flop,” because she can’t feel what she thought she would feel— the director revisits a childhood home in Brussels and walks along the rim of a dried-up pond in the back yard.

By contrast, her favorite place growing up is Sete, on the Mediterranean. Varda and her family lived on a boat there. See the canals, and it’s no surprise to learn that Sete

is called the Venice of Languedoc. We see a dreamy medieval landscape, a place with its own language. But Sete is also a poor fisher’s city, and Varda’s first film, 1954’s La Pointe Courte, was shot there: a neorealist effort with shifting perspectives, influenced by Faulkner’s The Wild Palms.

Varda films herself piloting a lateen, a flat-bottomed boat with an Arabian sail, up to the Rhone to Avignon, and down the Seine. She visits old friends at Venice Beach in Los Angeles.

And she re-creates her old place at the Rue Daguerre. Fancy being a photographer, living and working on the street named after the inventor of the camera.

Every glimpse of Varda’s work makes you want to see more. Here are excerpts from Cleo From 5 to 7, recently released on Criterion, and the documentary Daguerreotypes about her neighbors on the Rue Daguerre.

Varda explains that she could only shoot that documentary in a 300meter radius around her front door because no one wanted to pay for the electricity—so she ran the lights off an extension cord protruding from the mail slot on her gate.

We see tidbits of Vagabond—Varda’s 1985 movie that made the muchvaunted Wendy and Lucy just look like a nice try. In the context of Varda’s brave fight for reproductive rights— she signed her name to a list of women who admitted they had had abortions—1977’s sometimes featherbrained international hit One Sings, the

Other Doesn’t acquits itself well.

But the point is that Varda isn’t just reviving her old movies, like a guest on a chat show. She has a wider gaze than that. I can’t recall a film so honest about the pleasures and pitfalls of filmmaking. She stresses something that filmmakers say occasionally: that the friendships mean more than the finished product. It’s something usually said when discussing a cinematic failure. When Varda says it, it sounds completely true.

It seems that what drew Varda to the movie camera was a democratic eye and a do-it-yourself mentality. This French New Wave veteran was always good at spotting talent, whether it was the young Gerard Depardieu (seen in Varda’s quay-side short titled Nausicaa), the lovely and severe Jane Birkin, Philipe Noiret, and the young Harrison Ford, who comes out of seclusion to greet Varda today.

If there’d been a spot of pretense or great-ladyisms, The Beaches of Agnes would have been unwatchable.

Varda is not afraid to look fond, or ridiculous. In honor of the heartshaped-potato sequence in her brilliant The Gleaners and I, she dresses in a potato costume, DEVO-wise, as part of a multimedia piece on the spud. She is a person who helps herself to discards. Varda loves flea markets, which seems to me a love every filmmaker ought to have.

And her instincts as a recycler make her take the print of one of her failed films—a forgotten film “with

beautiful actors”—and construct it into a sheltering structure in a park.

In The Beaches of Agnès, Varda includes the part that death plays in her life. At a photo exhibit, honoring her friend Jean Vilar, the creator of the Avignon Festival, she points to the lost friends in the photos. It prepares us, finally, for the tombstone reading “Ici Repose Jacques Demy.” “The most cherished of the dead,” Varda says of her husband, the director of one of the most popular French imports of the 1960s, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Seeing The Beaches of Agnès means seeing Varda’s daughter, Rosalie, all grown up; she was once the child who looked out of the snowy car window at the gas station in the last scenes of Umbrellas.

Varda made another movie— it doesn’t look very good— commemorating the 100th anniversary of cinema. She personified cinema as a grandmannered aristocrat of many names and a fading memory. From the vantage of The Beaches of Agnès, a better embodiment of cinema would be an old lady: frank, kind, fearless and full of charming and fascinating stories, one who’d been with us at childhood and one who would somehow be there all the way to the end.

THE BEACHES OF AGNÈS (Unrated; 110 min.), directed, written by and starring Agnès Varda, opens Oct. 30 at Camera 3 in San Jose.

In-Flight Movie Hilary Swank kind of looks like Amelia Earhart —and that’s it

I

F THE Bible and all world religions didn’t prohibit unmanly weeping, Joni Mitchell’s tune “Amelia” would probably have me sniveling every time. By contrast, the Hilary Swank–starring, Mira Nair–directed biopic Amelia didn’t even get me to the verge of red-eye. If there ever was a figure who deserved a postmodern bio, it’s Amelia Earhart, who left so many questions behind. The film Amelia spins the time frame around, but it’s done in the standard fashion: incidents of her final world-circling flight, cutting back to the beginning of the aviator’s career. Amelia is very much the canned biopic that exists solely because a celebrated actress is playing on a physical resemblance.

Swank does look like Earhart, grinning large, with freckles and bleached hair; in truth, Swank also looks a lot like Jimmy Carter. But repeat offender Ron Bass’ prolix script keeps underlining every relationship with a yellow felt pen.

Characters introduce themselves by telling us who they are, what their hopes are and what interesting quirk they might have.

Amelia tells the story of her childhood in a first meeting, confessing that her father drank. He was more than just a drunk, the father; he was a kind of Micawber, a lawyer with big ideas and inventions that didn’t sell. Amelia was no farm girl, even if this movie tries to sell her as one. The film is a little more frank about Earhart’s life than previous versions of the story. It teases us with the possibilities of her sexuality. “You’re the only woman I know who points out other beautiful women,” notes her husband, George F. Putnam, played by the still seriously undermojoed Richard Gere. Earhart seems to have asked for an open marriage, and she had an affair with the Washington socialite and West Point instructor Eugene Vidal (Ewan McGregor).

One of the few interesting aspects of Amelia is that it gives us one of the screen’s only childhood accounts of Gore Vidal, Eugene’s son. As played by William Cuddy, Gore looks like one of those overmannered, overbred children from a 1950s movie. Young Gore’s big scene is talking to Earhart about being scared of some wallpaper with tigers on it—the song cue here ought to be “I Whistle a Happy Tune” from The King and I. Surely, even the child Vidal had something interesting to say?

The flying scenes aren’t ugly, but there’s only so long you can look at cloudscapes and stampeding animals in Africa (“What are those?”“Those are oryx!”). The images give way to stampeding sheep in, I’m going to say, Ireland.

Titles are flashed, illustrating places and times; made-up newspaper headlines remind us that Earhart elevated people’s spirits during the Depression. The script is rife with anachronisms: “I’ve got this”—when “this” refers to a situation.

In another moment, Amelia flies to Pakistan, a neat trick since Pakistan wasn’t anything more than a proposed country in the 1930s.

The movie has its moments, such as a scene of Amelia taking Eleanor Roosevelt (Cherry Jones) for her first plane ride over Washington at dawn. The staging of the finale over the Pacific is dramatic enough. Still, if it weren’t for the ending, Amelia would be the exemplification of the tedious in-flight movie.

N Good Hair, his first but hopefully not last documentary, co-writer/ producer Chris Rock has a marvelous timely subject all to himself. The easy jokes we’ve all heard at comedy clubs about a black woman’s hair being untouchable are brushed aside: Rock gets to the matter’s center by asking men what it’s like not to have the intimacy to touch a lover’s hair. Or for that matter, what it’s like to be a black megastar and have a Beverly Hills swimming pool you don’t dare swim in for fear of undoing the time spent at the beautician’s. Here is the full irony of a society that elects a black president and where one can still use the word “nappy-headed” as an insult.

Good Hair is a genuine work of investigative journalism. And it’s a risky story, too, all about the time and treasure that people of color spend in search of “good hair”: lank hair that behaves like white people’s tresses. Rock not only has this field all to himself to explore, he explores it with a creative and judicial touch. He shows the political side of the fashion: “Hair relaxers relax white people.” But Rock doesn’t harangue, either—the personal and the political is blended with a harmoniousness that surpasses Michael Moore’s directorial style.

Rock is, needless to say, funny as hell, even when dealing with the prickly subject of how much beauty products cost. It’s staggering. A weave can cost $1,000 or more, and it won’t last for more than a few months. Rock gives all due respect to the importance of the beauty salon and the barbershop, as small businesses that are centers for the black community. And he notes the millionaires of color created by the industry: there are a few such black-owned businesses left, though most sold out years ago to the likes of Revlon and L’Oréal.

But Rock also wonders about the caustic chemicals that, if trends continue, will one day will be sizzling the scalps of his own two daughters. (Some people here start their children at the salon at age 3.) You may remember that experiment your elementary school teacher used to perform, dissolving a tooth in a glass of Coca-Cola. Using the basis for hair relaxer, sodium hydroxide, a scientist here dissolves an entire aluminum soda can. Ice-T, who one supposes has suffered some pain in his life, describes chemical relaxation as “a torture session.”

Billie Holiday adapted the gardenia in her hair trademark to cover a spot burned in her hair back in the 1930s, so it’s sad to hear a musician of 40 years later, Pepa of Salt ’n’ Pepa, telling that she got her own trademark asymmetrical haircut to cover a relaxer burn. It never ends; it’s a chemical bath suffered—as Rock puts it—by everyone from Michelle Obama to Condoleezza Rice.

Good Hair nears 60 Minutes status when Rock explores the hair market in India: a profit maker for a huge temple where the poor get their heads shaved to pay off promises they made to God. The film has its berserk moments in bracketing sequences about the Bronner Brothers International Hair Show in Atlanta, a kind of Olympics of styling in which the stylists try new methods of upside down and scuba cutting. The film is scholarly enough to interview Maya Angelou, Nelson George and the “Dalai Lama of relaxers” Rev. Al Sharpton.

White people will learn a lot from this movie they won’t have heard elsewhere; black people will get a chance to discuss whether the gain is worth the pain.

Revivals The Bad and the Beautiful/ Sunset Blvd.

(1952/1950) Kirk Douglas stars as an untrustworthy movie mogul, Jonathan Shields, who, facing ruin, tries to round up three of his previously burned protĂŠgĂŠs for a comeback project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He [Douglas] required very little directing, for he grasped the Jonathan Shields character immediately.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d both met many such people during our years in Hollywood,â&#x20AC;? said director Vincente Minnelli. Shieldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reluctant ex-employees include Lana Turner as a female star based on Diana Barrymore (the voice of her Shakespearean father is an uncredited Louis Calhern), Walter Pidgeon and Dick Powell as a writer married to a high-ďŹ&#x201A;own Southern lady (Gloria Grahame, who steals the show).

BILLED WITH Sunset Blvd. Billy Wilderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;amboyant, cruelly funny and creepy satire of Hollywood oddity in the form of Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), a discarded piece of old movie bric-a-brac. Seeking one last close-up, Desmond wraps herself around a screenwriter (William Holden) who underestimates the aging starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunger.

Desmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mansion and swimming pool were also used as locations for Rebel Without a Cause; Normaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie clips are from Erich von Stroheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butchered ďŹ lm Queen Kelly (Plays Nov 3-5 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Breakfast at Tiffanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s/Charade (1961/1963) Sort of a double bill of Henry Mancini, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Blake Edwards and Stanley Donen got the best out of the master ďŹ lm composer. The song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moon Riverâ&#x20AC;? sums up Breakfast at Tiffanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a ďŹ lm about an outpost of scroungers in

M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 3, 2009 FILM Manhattan during the Kennedy era, when (wrote John Cheever) there was a Benny Goodman quartet playing on the radio of every stationery store and the city was ďŹ lled with river light. Audrey Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, your jet-age courtesan, elďŹ n enough to eclipse the more troubling memories of the ďŹ lm: Mickey Rooney done up as Japanese and George Peppard, bland as mayonnaise itself. BILLED WITH Charade, featuring a great theme song for a spun-sugar ďŹ lm. Hepburn, a recent widow, ďŹ nds herself besieged by homicidal creeps in search of a certain mystery. A rich entertainment with deluxe European locations and the constant surprise of seeing Cary Grant making the pairing of a 30ish girl and a 60ish man look like grace instead of, like, gross. Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy co-star. (Plays Nov 6-7 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

(RvB) The Ghost and Mrs. Muir/Topper (1947/1937) One of the best and smartest Hollywood romancesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tangy in a way that few of them are. A Victorian lady novelist (Gene Tierney) rents haunted Gull Cottage by the sea, only to ďŹ nd it visited by the dashing and irascible ghost of a sea captain (Rex Harrison). As he dictates his memoirs to the widow, he falls in love, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lured by all-too fallible ďŹ&#x201A;esh and blood in the form of one of George Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most dreadful men, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a perfumed parlor snakeâ&#x20AC;? who writes bestselling childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord knows, I loathe the little brutes.â&#x20AC;?)

Bernard Herrmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score augments the rapture. BILLED WITH Topper. Meek little banker Cosmo Topper (Roland Young) is haunted by the spirits of his dead playboy friends, the Kirbys (Cary Grant and Constance Bennett). â&#x20AC;&#x153;That the living dead are always facetious may be shocking to sensibilities,â&#x20AC;? Variety warned at the time, but to no avail; the ďŹ lm was a hit, spawning two sequels and a pretty good TV show. (Plays Nov 8-9 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

Holiday/It Should Happen to You (1938/1954) George Cukorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama about a wealthy, boyish heiress (Katharine Hepburn) who travels to broaden herself.

Cary Grant co-stars, with the highprincipled Lew Ayres and Edward Everett Horton. BILLED WITH It Should Happen to You. Ordinary little shop girl Gladys Glover (Holiday) rents a billboard at Columbus Circle to promote herself, and the trick worksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;much to the discomďŹ ture of her honest documentary-maker boyfriend (Jack Lemmon). In the meantime, a soap company covets her choice advertising location and sends representative Peter Lawford to ďŹ nesse the billboard out of her hands. While the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s NYC locations are time-capsule delights, and while Holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise-foolishness is beguiling, my favorite moment is a speech in which she holds off the lecherous Lawford. To get him talking (and to stop him nibbling her ear), she asks him if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lonely, living there in that bachelor apartment all by himself. Yes, he admits, lowering his eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could get a parrot,â&#x20AC;? she suggests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could be talking to it, and it could be talking to you. I mean, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be talking to each other, but it would be talk.â&#x20AC;? (Plays Oct 28-29 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

Reviews Astro Boy (PG; 94 min.) This smart, fast CGI cartoon is faithful to Osamu Tezukaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endearing star of manga and anime. In the future, the art deco Metro City ďŹ&#x201A;oats in the sky like Jonathan Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Laputa. Its dictatorial president (Donald Sutherland does the voice) is trying to arrange a war to ensure his victory in the upcoming election.

During a demonstration of a new form of atomic power, the son of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest scientist (Nicolas Cage) is vaporized. The scientist tries to reincarnate the boy in powerful robot form. Like Dr. Frankenstein, he rejects the creature that results.

Capitalism: A Love Story (R; 127 min.) Michael Moore’s broad but apt documentary has both his strong points (his expert and hilarious use of montage) and his weak points: his tendency to address us as through a bullhorn and his use of the time-honored “Michigan Defense,” as seen in Anatomy of a Murder: “Your honor, I’m just a humble country journalist, doing the best I can against this brilliant system.”

The film is a Mondo Financo with episodes about the arcane and vicious qualities of a rogue system: the nigh-destruction of his hometown through Wall Street scheming; the Gogol-like “Dead Peasant Insurance” story; and the overworking of commercial pilots and the resulting body counts. The movie doesn’t stint working-class success stories, including a tour of the co-op-run Petaluma’s Alvarado Street Bakery. This call for democratic socialism sounds loud, clear and not at all shrill after 30 bruising years of privatization, layoffs and shameless corporate thievery. Hugely entertaining, Capitalism: A Love Story will get people in touch with an anger they didn’t know they possessed—and a hope they didn’t dare let themselves feel. (RvB) Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant (PG-13; 108 min.) Paul Weitz (About a Boy, American Dreamz) directs the adaptation of the young adult series about a vampire (John C. Reilly) moonlighting as a sideshow performer; Chris Massoglia stars as the teenage chronicler Darren Shan.

Coco Before Chanel (PG-13; 110 min.) Audrey Tautou plays the designer as modernist in the years before World War I—a woman who assumed male privilege by assuming the simplicity and directness of their clothes. After a stint as a saloon singer, Coco calculates her way into bed with a wealthy roué named Etienne Balsan (Benoit Poelvoorde). Director Anne Fontaine reminds us that this is a movie from the country that gave us Rules of the Game. What could have been a dull bird-in-the-gilded-cage story turns urbane, with the ever-changing flow of power between the slightly wizened but sporty decadent. When Balsan realizes that another man has stolen Coco, he only murmurs,“I’m smiling, because I’m the one who let the fox into the hen house.” The fox in question: a British businessman nicknamed “Boy” (Alessandro Nivola). The end titles call the house of Chanel an empire, but Tautou— last seen, cigarette on lip, in a cage of mirrors, surrounded by models wearing her gowns— makes it look like mostly hard work. (RvB) Couples Retreat (PG-13; 107 min.) Vince Vaughn stars as one of a quartet of couples who get the group rate to a Bora Bora–like resort; when they arrive, the men are chagrined to learn it’s a marital encounter session. Co-stars Jon Favreau, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and Malin “Kirsten” Akerman. Peter Billingsley directs.

The Damned United (R; 97 min.) This is not the typical sports movie where a team begins on the bottom and battles its way to the top. There is no climactic moment on the field toward which our emotions are guided. Instead, the film explores the sheer hubris of legendary soccer coach Brian Clough as he waltzes into and takes over a blatantly dirty Leeds United club for a spell of 44 days in 1974, primarily to enact revenge against his old foe, the team’s previous coach, Don Revie.

Played decisively by Michael Sheen, Clough comes into the club demanding to revamp its gritty style of play, and it doesn’t work.

He is met with a hostile group of players

still loyal to Revie (Colm Meaney), whom Clough detests. The movie is less a sports flick and more of a straight-up docudrama and personality study, also with constant interplay between Clough and his trusted talent scout, sidekick and much-needed soccer conscience, Peter Taylor (Timothy Spall). Clough is nothing without Taylor, and we get to see their deteriorating partnership juxtaposed against the backdrop of what’s going on with the team on the field. (GS) An Education (PG-13; 95 min.) Lone Scherfig’s British coming-of-age film ends with a marathon session of tea brewing, but it has its good points. The look is cool—1960ish England may be more interesting than the full-blown and overexposed later ’60s. Twickenham-raised Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is studying for Oxford when she gets picked up by David (Peter Sarsgaard), a slightly older rotter; his slightly cruel eyes and flat smile forecast trouble to come. Until then, Jenny gets to see London highlife and nightclubs, and voyages to Paris.

Smelling class, and wanting to make their hard-working daughter happy, Jenny’s parents (Cara Seymour, Alfred Molina) relax the leash.

And that’s when the young girl learns how David makes his money without working days.

No one in the movie apparently saw one of those melodramas about the wealthy seducer who steals a poor but honest girl; letting that matter aside, Mulligan is charming, the meetcute is deft and Olivia Williams bears all the movie’s spine as a deliberately drabbed-down English teacher. Nick Hornby’s screenplay, from Lynn Barber’s memoir, might have meant he had input on the film’s excellent pre–Swinging London soundtrack. Singer Beth Rowley steals the show as the breathy canary at one nightspot. (RvB) From Mexico With Love (Unrated; 98 min.) A young Hispanic boxer learns life lessons from an older wiser trainer—Roqui in short. Directed by long-time stunt coordinator Jimmy Nickerson.

Law Abiding Citizen (R; 108 min.) An unstoppable killer (Gerard Butler) terrorizes Philadelphia. Only prosecutor Jamie Foxx can stop him.

More Than a Game (PG; 105 min.) A film about LeBron James and the Fab Five of his high school basketball team in Akron, Ohio.

New York, I Love You (R; 110 min). Is the funniest thing about New York the fact that so many people there pretend to be who they aren’t? Even if this were the case—even if there’d been a reason for reiterating this single principle over and over again—the episodes in New York, I Love You would wear out its welcome fast. Hate to say it, but by far, the director who used the short story format best was the muchmaligned Brett Ratner. Its components: a talkative pharmacist (James Caan) who is both loving father and procurer, arranging his daughter (Olivia Thirlby, terrific) a date at the prom with a neighborhood kid (Anton Yelchin). Second prize goes to Allen Hughes’ sequence about Drea de Matteo as a lady commuting on the subway to a second date, carrying second thoughts with her. The worst?

Easy: a tone-poem by Shekhar Kapur about a heartbreak hotel room, a desk clerk dressed in black (John Hurt, looking like Einstein), and the ruins of a once great lady (Julie Christie).

Its tone of lament and unrelenting beigeness look like an outtake of Toronto, I Have Great Respect for You. (RvB) Paranormal Activity (R; 99 min.) This is being touted as “the next Blair Witch Project”—meaning, essentially, horror’s new runaway phenomenon—but there are very important differences that should help it avoid the dreaded Blair backlash. There are similarities, sure. Writerdirector Oren Peli made this for $15,000, and the plot is about what you can expect anybody to get out of $15,000. It has a young couple, played by Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat using their real names (in what seems like an homage to Blair Witch), believing something

M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 3, 2009 FILM unusual and disturbing is going on in their house. Micah buys a handheld camera to try to capture it on ďŹ lm, recording day and night. This leads to the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest ďŹ&#x201A;aw, also a weakness in Blair Witch, CloverďŹ eld and almost any other movie that uses this device, what I call Why Am I Picking Up the Camera Right Now Syndrome. It pulls me out of the movie when I have to think about, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait, would someone really go pick up the camera and ďŹ lm this if that was happening?â&#x20AC;?

However, it also leads to lots of genuinely creepy footage, and a lot of powerful shocks.

Peliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent sense of timing makes this the scariest movie anyone will see this year. The biggest difference is that unlike Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity delivers on its name, with extreme prejudice. (SP) Saw VI (R; 90 min.) Another round of heartwarming outreach among friendly strangers.

A Serious Man (R; 105 min.) All the themes in the Coen brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; previous ďŹ lms blend harmoniously in this terriďŹ c tale of comedic woe and horror.

Minneapolis, 1967: a meek professor Larry Gopnik (stage actor Michael Stuhlbarg, looking like a dispirited Harold Lloyd) teaches physics at a small college. Gopnik is tantalized with the possibility of tenure, betrayed by his wife with their neighbor Sy Ableman, a clammy, polyester-clad swine (Fred Melamed, brilliant). Gopnikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Danny (Aaron Wolff) has a cowlike indifference to his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight. And Larry must take charge of his unemployable brother Arthur (Richard Kind), an obese holy fool. The postmodern moments give A Serious Man a vaudeville kick: a prologue about the appearance of a demon in the old-time Jewish ghetto is staged like a lost episode of Mario Bavaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Sunday.

In another of this ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parables, a Hebrew message is carved by God into the teeth of a gentile to teachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what? some indecipherable lesson, like the physics equations on Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chalkboard, like the Hebrew letters Danny is too dumb to learn. Photographer Roger Eakins and composer Carter Burwell do outstanding work making these episodes coalesce into a fever dream of persecution and encroachment. (RvB) The Stepfather (PG-13) A remake of a family thriller about a really, really bad stepfather. Stars Dylan Walsh, Sela Ward and Penn Badgley.

Surrogates (PG-13; 88 min.) In the near future, all human beings will be pale shut-ins, experiencing life through cybersimilacra. Late one night, the son of the man who made this technical breakthrough possible is murdered, fried by electrical surge after his avatar is killed by a strange new weapon. Investigating the crime is an FBI agent (Bruce Willis) and his partner (Radha Mitchell). They believe the crime is linked to a large reservation of Luddites, led by a charismatic leader called the Prophet (Ving Rhames). Based on a graphic novel, this routiner-than-routine mystery teaches us little, except that toupees wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look much better in the future. Though the use of these â&#x20AC;&#x2122;bots has reportedly wiped out sexism and racism, you certainly couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell: when Willis talks, women listen, and at one point he calls a suspect â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey.â&#x20AC;? The possibilities, visible even in a far-more-low-budget effort like Creation of the Humanoids (1962), arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teased out here, in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eventually a tract against spending too much time online.

Bad exposition (â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father is Lionel Canterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as in the inventor of surrogates, Lionel Canter!â&#x20AC;?) complements the seriously ugly color, which as usual might look better on Hi-Def TV. (RvB) Where the Wild Things Are (PG; 101 min.) The beast suitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;part costumes, part CGIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are accurate versions of the Sendak illustrations. Max Records seems just right as Max, the little boy whose father is out of the picture, who ďŹ&#x201A;ees to a monster island. The feature ďŹ lm gives children due respect for their towering moods. But childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods change, and this ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially gloomy, like a collection

of Peanuts strips clipped of their punch lines.

The ďŹ lm is staged in an Australian forest, the domain of seven or eight depressed creatures (Lauren Ambrose, James GandolďŹ ni and Catherine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, among others). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cautious and fretful; they form cliques and snipe at each other. The rumpusing beastliness always ends with some injury, as per Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning about how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Scriptwriter Dave Eggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work is typically formless, cute and drifty. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no artistic force behind this movie, only whims and anxieties. A parting word from the beasts,â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go home, will you say good things about us?,â&#x20AC;? seems addressed to a bafďŹ&#x201A;ed audience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a cult item for aging-children hipster types, the ones who would wear their terrycloth wolf-suits to work if they could. (RvB) Whip It (PG-13; 111 min.) Drew Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whengirls-collide roller derby movie is bliss; actually, Ellen Page plays Bliss, a Bodeen, Texas, tomboy who takes the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babe Ruthless.â&#x20AC;?

Director and bon vivant Drew Barrymore (who plays a rolling calamity of a teammate) has rescued Page from the career-killing move of repeatedly playing the smartest person in the room; here we get to see the speed and energy in Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tiny frame since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing an athlete, of sorts. The acting is superior on down the line. As the parents, Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern have a fond rapport, and in a noteworthy comeback role Juliette Lewis smolders away as the well-motivated villain on a rival team. Scriptwriter Shauna Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wit lets Page hold the screen like never before. (RvB) Zombieland (R; 81 min.) Under a plague of the living dead, the United States is in ruins, and the nervous college-age hero (Jesse Eisenberg) calls the dreadful landscape Zombieland. He joins three reluctant companions: a Twinkiesloving cowboy called Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a fast female loner named Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sis, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). They head to a place where they think the light at the end of the tunnel still shines: Disneyland, renamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;PaciďŹ c Playland.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merit to the idea of a turkeyshoot zombie-killing ďŹ nale amid colored lights and spinning rides, but the ďŹ lm doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more imaginative than anything seen in the previews. Under Ruben Fleischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barebones direction, Zombieland is slathered with narration. Harrelson is a ďŹ erce-looking party, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Western-lyrical enough.

Knife Girls Why Shonen Knife is so much more than cute

By Steve Palopoli

W

SUPERGROUP Tipofo!Lojgf!dvut! uispvhi!uif!dvuf!bu!! uif!Cmbol!Dmvc!Gsjebz/

ITH Shonen Knife, it’s always the “cute” issue. Despite almost 30 years in music, the c-word has been wielded on the Osaka, Japan–based band like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it’s a kitschy compliment in the rock world. On the other, it’s a socially sanctioned put-down, an easy out for listeners and especially music critics who never really got them.

Because the truth is, no matter how cute Shonen Knife may actually be—and honestly, they make Bambi look like a piece of crap—they’ve proved over and over again that they’re so much more. They arrive at the Blank Club on Friday, Oct. 30, on the heels of their new album, Supergroup, and songs like “BBQ Party” and “Evil Birds” make it clear that the Shonen Knife trifecta of food, parties and animals are in fine form. Vocalist and guitarist Naoko Yamano admits some 60 percent of their songs are about one of those three topics.

“Forty percent are not so much,” she says. “Basically I don’t like to write very serious songs. My philosophy for music is ‘music should be fun.’”

And with Shonen Knife, it always is. But what the cute-sayers fail to acknowledge is how the band has created its own strange musical universe. Their knock on Shonen Knife is “it may be fun, but the music’s not that great.” Real fans, however, will tell you that it is—in fact, there’s nothing quite like it. As the band has evolved musically, and changed members, its music has developed real chops. Now, when they play a song about a giant kitty, it’s a giant-kitty song that rocks your ass.

“Early Shonen Knife is primitive, and now we became powerful,” says Yamano. “I like both.”

Interestingly, this development has made their live show, which is awash in arena-rock fixtures like crossed guitar necks and windmills, seem less tongue in cheek. How funny it is to them, Yamano isn’t saying.

“Of course it helps with the rocking,” she says. “I like theatric bands very much. I like KISS, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Motorhead and so on. For entertain the audience, it is necessary. I hope we can play at arena someday!”

The first bands to really wrap

their minds around Shonen Knife in the United States caught on pretty quick to the weird and wonderful Shonen Knife worldview. On the tribute album Every Band Has a Shonen Knife Who Loves Them, Sonic Youth covered “Burning Farm,” one of the band’s strangest—and decidedly not cute—songs. Kurt Cobain was a huge fan who took Yamano and company on a U.K. tour in 1991.

Like their heroes the Ramones, who they saluted on their last album in the ungodly catchy “Ramones Forever”—and whose songs they’ve covered often, including as an alter ego “The Osaka Ramones”—Shonen Knife hold tight to their aesthetic even as their style evolves. By 1997’s Brand New Knife, songs like “Explosion!” could and should have been on alt-rock radio, and their Carpenters’ cover “Top of the World” has probably been as widely heard as their fan favorites like “Redd Kross” (about the L.A. indie band Red Kross) and “I Wanna Eat Choco Bars” (about wanting to eat choco bars). But though their cult has grown immensely over the years, they’ve never quite broken through to the mainstream here, or even

in their native country.

“I think our American following is bigger than that of Japan,” says Yamano. “I’m influenced by American and British rock music, not by Japanese music. It must be one of the reasons.”

However, most of Shonen Knife’s songs continue to be released in both English and Japanese versions, sometimes arriving in this country much later. The double-workload isn’t always easy for Yamano.

“Translating is very difficult,” she says. “Especially to translate from Japanese to English is difficult. I don’t have a rich vocabulary of English. Some Japanese fans like Japanese version, that’s why I write in Japanese. I actually prefer English.”

Why? However cute she may sound singing it, Yamano finds authenticity in the sound of her adopted language, the kind of authenticity that Shonen Knife doesn’t seem to get the proper credit for.

“English,” she says, “is a language of rock music for me.”

SHONEN KNIFE performs Friday, Oct. 30, at the Blank Club, 44 S. Almaden Ave., San Jose (408.29.BLANK)

ALL REAL, ALL LOCAL

Married Mommylady needs to find is a better preschool for her 3-year-old. Sorry, but once you have kids, by birth or by marriage, you can’t just jump ship because you spotted something glittery in the water.

Of course Crushgirl’s more appealing than your wife—or any real woman. As a creation of your as-of-yet unmatriculated high school imagination, she never gets her period or PMS. She never wants you to turn off the game or stop bugging her for sex or take out the garbage or shut the hell up already.

And, yoohoo, remember those vows you took? I’m guessing they weren’t “Do you take this placeholder until the girl you really love Facebooks you back?” This is the life you’ve chosen, and you can keep clocking out of it or take pride in making it the best you can. Whenever you feel like taking a toke off the high school hottie pipe, go find your wife, brush a little piece of hair from her face, and tell her she’s beautiful and how much she means to you. Try that on your crush, and you’re effectively confessing, “For 23 years, I’ve been stalking you in my head.” But, hey, with any luck, you can get your divorce decree on the same day as the restraining order.

As for her “wasting” time, maybe she wants to marry but is content for now with the extended-stay

one-night stand. When somebody tells you you’ll never get what you want, you have a choice: stick around and continue never getting it, or make tracks and seek it somewhere else. Sometimes, leaving can help your partner see a gaping hole in their life (and here’s hoping it isn’t because you tripped on the power cord to their media center when you stormed out).

bewjdfbnzAbpm/dpn

You’re seriously wondering whether you should let this “affect” your marriage?

Right. “Hey, Honey, it’s been real, but I heard from this drunk guy at my reunion that my high school crush is single and hot as ever. No, no . . . I haven’t slept with her. Or seen her. Or spoken with her for 20 years. But, I friended her on Facebook, and I just can’t keep denying she’s my soul mate after learning she ‘had a great workout and is headed out for some yummies and cocktails!!!’”

You aren’t in love with her; you’re in love with being the kind of guy who gets a girl like her. You’ll do anything to pretend this could be a reality, like telling yourself you can’t honestly say the hot popular girl wouldn’t have gone out with you, if only you’d asked. Sure. Just as you can’t honestly say your dog won’t wake up tomorrow and speak Greek, or that you won’t win enough in the lottery this weekend to be able to buy Cuba.

Boohoo, are you not completely fulfilled? I’m reminded of a woman—the mother of four young children—who read Eat, Pray, Love and informed her husband that she, too, needed to “find herself ” (translation: travel to Italy and find herself a hot young Latin lover). Um, wrong. What

ASTROLOGY

Business Listings

with briny emotion as a Pisces on a meandering binge. You might be as embedded in a labyrinth of your own creation as the Geminis who verge on being too clever for their own good. You may be as cagey a listener as a Scorpio who’s searching for a hidden vulnerability in an ally. In other words, Aries, you’re not exactly yourself. But it’s one of those rare times when that’s a good thing.

Halloween costume suggestion: the opposite of what you think you are.

IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): In my ideal version of Halloween, we wouldn’t scare ourselves with images of ghoulish skeletons, eyeballs floating in cauldrons, and hissing, three-headed snakes.

Rather, we’d confront more realistic fears, like the possibility that the effects we have on the world are different from our intentions . . . or that we have not yet reached our potential . . . or that people we like might completely misread and misunderstand us. Then Halloween would serve a more spiritually useful purpose. It would bring us face-to-face with actual dangers to our psychic integrity, whereupon we could summon our brilliant courage and exorcize the hell out of them. Costume suggestion: exorcist. (Begin by exorcising yourself.)

from the living,” he explained, “I wouldn’t get a very good balance.” His perspective would be smart for you to adopt right now, Libra. To make the wisest decisions and take the most righteous action, draw inspiration from what has passed away as much as from what’s alive and in your face. Halloween costume suggestion: a spirit medium.

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): “Behind every face,

there are a thousand faces,” says film director Bryan Singer, who worked on two of the X-Men movies.

He deals with professional actors, who specialize in revealing the myriad faces beneath the surface.

But I think his assessment applies to lots of people, especially you Scorpios—although it must be said that you do have mad skills at hiding all the action going on beneath your surface. This Halloween, I urge you to make a break with tradition and show five or six of the real you’s lurking below your poker face. Costume suggestion: be inspired by Joseph Campbell’s “hero with a thousand faces.”

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): The Da Vinci

Code author Dan Brown has a unique way of stimulating his imagination: He dons his gravity boots and meditates on complex story lines while he’s inverted. It’s also a good way to overcome writer’s block. “You think differently upside-down,” he says. Do you have an equivalent method for providing gentle shock therapy to your perspective, Sagittarius? This is a good time to use it. If you don’t already have a creative aid like that, hunt around for one. In the days ahead, it will come in handy.

<Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): During this phase of your cycle, you’ll generate good fortune if you brainstorm and meditate about your relationship with work. I urge you to empty your mind of everything you think you know about the subject.

Adopt a fresh and innocent perspective. Here are some questions to prime your investigations. 1.

What’s the quality of the experience you want to have as you earn a living? 2. What gifts do you want to give to life as you toil at challenging tasks that are interesting to you? 3. What capacities do you want to develop in yourself while doing your work?

(P.S. For your Halloween costume, why not pretend you’re doing your dream job?)

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): When Sheelah

8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai (1924–2000) witnessed the full range of experiences that life on this planet has to offer, from war to love and everything in between. During an interview he gave in Jerusalem in 1994, he said, “I can stand on my balcony and tell my children, ‘Over there I was shelled for the first time, and over there, to the right, just beneath those trees, I was kissed for the first time.’” I suspect his words will soon be meaningful for you, Cancerian. It’s likely you’ll have a breakthrough or epiphany near a place where you once suffered disappointment. Halloween costume suggestion: the phoenix.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): When I did a

AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): Author Gary Smalley says

that the sexual nature of men is like a microwave oven, while women resemble a crockpot, the device that cooks food at low heat for a long time.

Right about now, I’d advise you Leo men to be like crockpots not only in the bedroom but everywhere else, too. To spot the subtle opportunities that will be available, you’ll have to be gradual, deliberate and thorough. Leisurely foreplay should be your all-purpose metaphor. As for you Leo women: I’m betting there are ways that you have fallen under the sway of the microwave meme. If I’m right, it’s time to fully re-embrace the spirit of the crockpot.

Halloween costume clues: the tortoise, not the hare; a 400-page novel, not Twitter; the Pyramid of Khufu, not a sand castle.

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): “The more beautiful the bird, the poorer the singer,” wrote L.M. Boyd.

“Peacocks scream, macaws screech. Birds of Paradise croak.” Among the most interesting singers, on the other hand, are birds that are far less spectacular in appearance: the Black-capped Chickadee, the Willow Thrush and the White-throated Sparrow.

Keep that in mind as you navigate your way through the coming week’s dilemmas. My personal inclination is to favor inspiring singing over comely appearance, but you may have a different bias. The important thing is to recognize the nature of the options before you. Halloween costume suggestion: Incorporate the themes of plain beauty, secret genius, disguised power and open secrets.

A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): At a family planning

conference in Beijing, a researcher from Ghana presented testimony about tribal issues that he had in part gleaned through interviews with dead ancestors. He said that spirit mediums had acted as his “translators.” When he was met with skepticism from colleagues, he was defensive. “If I only heard

Ryan won $55 million in the Florida lottery, she used the money to create an organization dedicated to helping the disadvantaged. “I guess I’ve disappointed a lot of people,” she told a reporter. “I could be traveling all over the world, or have a beautiful mansion on the ocean, or have a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce. But that’s not my style.” She’s your role model for the coming weeks, Capricorn. When good fortune comes to you—and I’m almost positive it will—I recommend that you look for ways to share it. The ironic fact of the matter is that if you’re generous as you tap in to your gift, there’ll be more of the gift. performance in Santa Fe a few years ago, a woman in the audience came up to me after the show and made a sardonic proposal: Would I like to join her 12-step program for writers who are overly fond of vivid adjectives and adverbs? With all the uppity mock politeness I could summon, I told her that I was preposterously happy with my scintillating addiction to brazen language, and didn’t regard it as a raggedy problem that needed invasive correcting.

Now I’m advising you to be like me and follow your heart when it tells you to be bigger, bolder and brasher than ever before. Right now, shiny intensity is your sacred duty! Halloween costume suggestion: the sun.

E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): I hope you won’t

merely wander around the frontier. I hope you’ll undertake a meticulous yet expansive exploration of that virgin territory. Here are some tips on how to proceed: 1. Formulate specific questions about what you’re looking for. 2. Develop a hypothesis for the experiments you want to carry out. 3. Ignore what doesn’t interest you and pounce only on what stirs your fascination.

Times have changed, haven’t they? O brave new world / That has such people in it.

Steroids, in the common sense of the term, are synthetic hormones. Administered in high doses, they produce an exaggerated version of the physiological changes caused by natural hormones. The type we’re talking about here are anabolic androgenic steroids—synthetic testosterone. The most obvious physical effect of these artificial male sex hormones is IncredibleHulk-sized muscles. One commonly cited psychological effect is increased aggressiveness, also known as ’roid rage. Does ’roid rage really happen? Yes, but not to everybody—research to date indicates most steroid users experience little or no psychological effect. But some do report mood swings and increased aggressiveness, and a few flip out. For example: • In one study, researchers injected steroids into 50 men for six weeks. Forty-two didn’t notice much change in their mental state. Six became moderately more irritable, two others markedly so. And one participant had to drop out of testing because he became “alarmingly hypomanic and aggressive.”

• Another study found that the mood-altering effects of steroids can occur in a very short time—looking at 20 men after just two weeks of testosterone use, there were significant increases in both positive and negative feelings: euphoria and energy, as well as irritability, mood swings and violent impulses. One subject, who had no personal or family history of mental illness, experienced a protracted manic episode serious enough that he asked to be placed in seclusion.

• In yet another study, one test subject injected with high doses of testosterone became almost certifiably manic, needing medication to control himself.

Women aren’t immune to such effects. A study of 75 female athletes found a third used steroids. Of that third, more than half suffered from irritability, and 40 percent reported an increase in aggressive behavior.

Having a bad attitude is one thing; going berserk is another, and researchers caution that only a small percentage of users become violent. But reports of psycho episodes aren’t all just media hype. Some investigators who’d interviewed steroid users reported the following in 1994: “One user, using his fists and a metal bar, seriously damaged three cars, all with their drivers cowering inside, because he had become annoyed by a traffic delay. Another was arrested for causing $1,000 of property damage during a fit of anger at a sports event; another was arrested for assaulting a motorist; another rammed his head through a wooden door; another became involved in a nearly successful murder plot; and another beat and almost killed his dog.”

Plenty of research links steroids to violence and crime. A Swedish study of male prison inmates found those testing positive for steroids were more than twice as likely as nonusers to have committed weapons offenses. A survey of American high school students found a significant link between violence and selfreported steroid use, even after correcting for various factors including other drug use, age and prior violent behavior.

Steroids produce all sorts of other bizarre effects. Men who take steroids hoping to increase their manliness often experience shrinking testicles, not to mention acne and high cholesterol. One study of 41 male users found 37 percent had developed enlarged breasts due to conversion of some of the steroids to estrogen.

Testicular atrophy generally reverses once steroid use is discontinued, but gynecomastia doesn’t—five of the men had subsequently undergone breast reduction surgery. Is all this sure to happen if you inject steroids? Of course not. But considering the caricature of masculinity you become when the stuff works as advertised, the question isn’t whether steroids will turn you into a freak, but what kind.
