OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Reading over the playlists that Jennifer Otter Bickerdike created for locals in Wallace Baine’s cover story this week, I loved that she included “I Still Believe” by Tim Capello. If you didn’t waste countless hours listening to the Lost Boys soundtrack in 1987 like my friends and I did, you might think you don’t know it, but of course you do! It’s the sexy shirtless sax guy song from the movie! Oh Tim Capello, where art thou?

FROM STORMING TO PERFORMING

4

Jacob Pierce’s article Cringe Movement (GT, 3/6) about the local council skirmish makes for painful reading, but once again, I am grateful to Pierce for shedding light on local controversies. I think there are kernels of truth in every quotation from the various sources he included.

In a previous life, I trained crossfunctional corporate teams in process improvement. One of our key slides showed the stages any new team goes through: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. Looks like our new council team has jumped right into Storming.

We are all sick of the blame game, and come to think of it, even “forgiveness” can be another way of saying who is right and who is wrong. It’s more important for everybody to look at their own part in the situation, asking: what did I do to cause problems, and how can I make amends by doing it differently? This is how to transition to the Norming stage.

Before the January election, the Climate Action Network drafted and encouraged the previous council to pass a Climate Emergency Mobilization Resolution. We are now hoping to work with the council—and the city staff—to re-prioritize its policies, budget, and projects to bring about the

Cruz cred is legit. Like her, I also got a lot of my music education scouring the shelves of Santa Cruz record stores, and when I could sense the tone of awe in her mention of Cymbaline Records, I could tell she is a kindred spirit.

It’s no wonder that the incredible music culture of Santa Cruz in the ’80s and ’90s would produce the woman who would write a book called Why Vinyl Matters.

To go along with the Record Store Day theme (Bickerdike was the official host of RSD in the U.K.), I’ve also written a short guide for those who will be celebrating at local record stores this Saturday— hopefully it will help you get your hands on the rare release you’re looking for. Happy hunting!

necessary reduction in carbon emissions.

The new “norm” needs to include everyone focusing on the emergency facing us. If we don't take care of our runaway climate (with its storms, floods, fires, and sea-level risings) many, many more of us are going to be homeless.

I’m glad the article ended with council members saying they are willing to move forward. Let’s move on to Performing. We have important work to get done.

DANA BAGSHAW | SANTA CRUZ

IN THIS TOGETHER The local homeless debacle reflects a lack of vision and leadership on the part or our elected leaders.

This is not the society we want our grandkids to grow up in. Calcutta in Central Coast California? We can do better.

It won’t disappear if you ignore it. One idea: locate a homeless center at the former location of ToysRUs. • Good Central location. Near hospitals.

Easy access to downtown via Soquel or freeway, car/bus/bicycle. Maybe provide free shuttle service to public services.

• Plenty of parking for RVs. If we provide a place where people can sleep in their RVs, they won’t need to conflict with the needs of residential neighborhoods.

• Plenty of room for tents on asphalt instead of in rat-infested mud (Camp Ross? This is not Burma!). >8

CLEAR A PATH

The county of Santa Cruz is inviting members of the public to a series of open houses to review draft strategies in connection with the county’s first-ever strategic plan. County officials are laying out a detailed roadmap for implementing goals. Starting Thursday night, April 11, there will be five planning and outreach events, in locations from Santa Cruz to Watsonville. Spanish translation will be available, and all ages are welcome. For more information, visit sccvision.us.

Volunteers with Santa Cruz County Greenway picked up 412 pounds of trash from the coastal rail corridor this past weekend, executive director Manu Koenig reports. On Saturday, April 6, Greenway cleaned up the portion of the corridor just east of the San Lorenzo River truss bridge, where a path improvement is under construction. The collected garbage included used syringes, broken bottles and bedding.

Greenway favors removing the train tracks and building a wide bike-and-pedestrian trail, instead of planning for a rail-with-trail approach.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of April 10 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

The Qing Dynasty controlled China from the mid-17th century to the early 20th century. It was the fifth-biggest empire in world history. But eventually it faded, as all mighty regimes do. Revolution came in 1911, forcing the last emperor to abdicate and giving birth to the Republic of China. I’m inclined to think of your life in 2019 as having some similarities to that transition. It’s the end of one era and the beginning of another—a changing of the guard and a passing of the torch. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to be very active in deciding and visualizing the empire you want next.

“Love is no assignment for cowards.” That’s a quote attributed to the ancient Roman poet Ovid. What did he mean? Was he foreshadowing the wisdom of pop singer Pat Benatar, who in 1983 told us, “Love is a battlefield?”

Was Ovid implying that to succeed in the amorous arts we must be heroic warriors prepared to overcome fears and risk psychological dangers? Probably. But I will also point out that it takes as much courage to create fun, interesting togetherness as it does to wrestle with the problems that togetherness brings. You need just as much bravura and panache to explore the sweet mysteries of intimacy as you do to explore the achy mysteries of intimacy. Keep these thoughts in mind as you marshal your audacity to deepen and expand your best relationships in the coming weeks.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 I hope that sometime soon you’ll acquire a new source of support or inspiration. Now is a phase of your astrological cycle when you’re likely to attract influences that are in alignment with your deep values.

This addition might be a person or animal. It could be a vibrant symbol or useful tool. It may even be a fantasy character or departed ancestor that will stimulate vitality you haven’t been able to summon on your own.

Be on the lookout for this enhancement.

GEMINI May21–June20 Poet David Hinton analyzed the Chinese word for “poetry.”

Its etymological meaning is “words spoken at the fertility altar.” Let's make that your theme, even if you don’t write or read poetry. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to take a vow or utter a solemn intention in front of a homemade fertility altar. The oath you speak might express a desire to boost your use of your physical vitality: your lust for life, your adoration of the natural world or your power to produce new human life. Or your vow to foster your fertility could be more metaphorical and symbolic in nature: the imaginative intimacy you will explore or the creativity you’ll express in future works of art or the generous effects you want to have on the world.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Christopher Robin Milne was the son of author A. A. Milne, who wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. He said there are two ways to navigate through life. Either you “take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it.” So in his view, “There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push.” I’m hoping that in the coming weeks and months, you will make a delighted commitment to the first option: taking a bearing on something in the future and steering toward it. I think that approach will inspire you toward the most interesting success.

The national animal of Finland is the brown bear. The national insect is the ladybug, and the national instrument is a stringed instrument known as the kantele. As for the national author, it’s Aleksis Kivi, who produced just one novel that took him 10 years to write. He also published a short collection of odes and a few plays, adding up to a grand total of less than 800 pages of work. I think that the efforts you make in the coming weeks could have a disproportionately large impact as well, Leo. What you lack in quantity will be irrelevant compared to the sheer quality you generate.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I follow the blogger Evanescent Voyager because she makes me cry with sad joy and exultant poignance on a regular basis. One of her other fans wrote her a love note I could have written myself. It said, “Your emotional brilliance and thoughtful passion break me into pieces and then weave me back together with more coherence than I had before reading you. I revere your alchemical talent for undoing me so you can heal me; for lowering my defenses so I can be open to your riches; for demolishing my habitual trance so you can awaken my sleeping genius.” I believe that in the coming weeks, life itself will offer to perform these same services for you, Virgo. I urge you to accept!

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The literal meaning of the French term jolie-laide is “pretty and ugly.” Bloggers at wordsnquotes.com define it as follows: “It’s a fascinating quirkiness that's irresistible, like a face you want to keep looking at even if you can’t decide whether it is beautiful or not.”

Jolie-laide overlaps with the Japanese term wabi-sabi, which describes a person or thing that is lovely because of its imperfection and incompleteness. I bring these facts to your attention because I think you have extraordinary potential to be a master embodier of both jolie-laide and wabi-sabi in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 As Czech playwright Vaclav Havel (1936–2011) matured, he became a political dissident who opposed the Soviet Union’s authoritarian grip on his country. Eventually he was a key player in the Velvet Revolution that banished communism. When Czechoslovakia emerged as a new democracy, its people elected him president. Havel later thanked Lou Reed and the band the Velvet Underground for fully awakening his liberationist leadership. He said their unruly music stoked his longing to establish a culture where total creative freedom was possible. I mention this, Sagittarius, because now is a favorable time to identify the music or art or films or literature that might fuel your emancipation in the coming months.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Capricorn author J. R. R. Tolkien toiled on his masterpiece The Lord of the Rings for 12 years. Once he finished, it wasn’t published for more than five years.

So 17 years passed between the time he launched his precious project and the time when it reached an audience. I don’t think you will need that much patience in shepherding your own venture to full expression, Capricorn. But I hope you’ll summon as much faith in yourself as Tolkien had to rouse in himself. To do so will bring out the best in you!

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Released in 1998, The Prince of Egypt is an animated film that tells the story of the Hebrew prophet Moses. In the climactic event, the hero uses magic to part the waters of the Red Sea, allowing his people to run across the seafloor and escape the army that’s chasing them. To make that seven-minute scene, 28 professional animators labored for 318,000 hours. In the coming months, you could create your own version of that marvel, Aquarius.

But you’ll need a team to help you, and that team is not yet ready to go. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get it ready, though.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Piscean businessman Steve Jobs testified that taking LSD was “one of the two or three most important things” he ever did in his life. It opened his mind in ways he felt were crucial to his development. What are the three most important things you’ve ever done, Pisces? I invite you to revisit at least one of them, and see if you can take it to the next step of its power to inspire you. What if it has even more to offer you in your efforts to become the person you want to be?

• Easily fenced for security.

• Existing commercial buildings can be converted to provide both support services and housing.

If we as a society can provide a reasonable and safe place for people to sleep (Wake up, “Camp Ross” is neither), we will be doing a service to all residents of Santa Cruz.

Expensive? Of course. But, lacking a bold vision, we continue to kick the can down the road while conditions continue to deteriorate for all residents of Santa Cruz County.

The U.S. Census Bureau says there are 105,586 housing units in Santa Cruz County.

A property tax of one dollar a day on each of those units would generate $38 million a year, plus whatever commercial property tax might add.

Focus on the goal; addressing the problem of homelessness, a problem that increasingly negatively affects all of us.

Like it or not, we are all in this together.

GLASS ACT Santa Cruz has long been plagued by chronic car break-ins, but lately locals are reporting more shattered windows than usual.

Getting Smashed

With property crime anxiety running high, auto glass shops report a surge in window repairs BY LAUREN HEPLER From side streets in Seabright to the dirt parking lots that line the bluffs above remote beaches on Highway 1, it’s no secret that Santa Cruz has long been a hotspot for smash-andgrab car break-ins. Lately, though, some local auto glass shops have seen a surge in window repairs on cars where thieves appeared to target backpacks, cell phone chargers, spare change or—most frustrating for owners—nothing at all.

“It’s out of control,” said Annie Staub, who runs Action Auto Glass in Live Oak with her husband, Jason Hamilton. “We used to do a

couple a week. Now we’re doing several a day.”

At Acumen Auto Glass in Soquel, a glass repair specialist who gave his name as Seth estimated that window repairs from auto thefts have jumped as much as 20 percent in the last two to three years.

“It’s always been steady, but it has escalated,” he says. “It’s all different types, all makes and models.

Whoever’s in the right place at the right time.”

Though the Westside, Seabright and the stretch of Highway 1 between Santa Cruz and Davenport

remain common targets, Staub says her business has seen a recent rash of break-ins on the UCSC campus. Several cars parked at the university’s Arboretum had windows smashed one day last week, staff confirmed to GT. Car break-ins, along with petty theft of bikes and other misdemeanor property crimes, have been a frequent focal point for Santa Cruz public safety groups, and the subject of plenty of local law enforcement reports. In 2014, the Santa Cruz Police Department reported that vehicle >13

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | APRIL 10-16, 2019

At the end of March, Josh McInnes was aboard the Marine Life Studies research vessel when he spotted a pod of orca whales approaching. As the group got closer, McInnes realized that he recognized practically every individual in the group.

McInnes, who lives in British Columbia and serves as Marine Life Studies’ research coordinator, surveyed the shape of each killer whale’s dorsal fin, as well as any notches and scars, as they came up to breach. He watched the way the orcas moved and surveyed their saddle patches, or the distinctive gray areas that wrap around their dorsal fins.

McInnes realized that the whale mob in front of him was the L-Pod, a group of orcas that normally frequents the same Canadian waters he does.

McInnes is a self-described “citizen scientist.” He takes at least a month off every year from his work as a nature guide to come to the Monterey Bay and study orcas and Risso’s dolphins, which he calls “ghosts of Monterey” because of the pale scars that cover much of their bodies. McInnes and his partner Chelsea Mathieson, an aerospace technician by trade, stay with friends in Watsonville. Each invested thousands of dollars in this trip, with additional donations from friends and supporters to help fund their work.

Mathieson’s specialty is in northern right whale dolphins, which are difficult to spot and identify since they have no dorsal fins. Little is known about them, and Mathieson says there could be anywhere from 25,000-1 million of them, according to existing literature. On a recent trip out of Monterey, McInnes and Mathieson spotted 300-400 of those northern right whale dolphins leaping out of the bay.

“As far as you could see, across the horizon,” Mathieson explained to GT at a recent afternoon house party in Carmel to raise awareness about local whales. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

There is a Better Way

GETTING SMASHED <11 burglary accounted for 42 percent of the city’s total crime.

Lately, official numbers tell a more mixed story. Reports of auto theft jumped in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 9 percent from the same period a year earlier, to 73 reported break-ins. When looking at the entire year, though, the Santa Cruz Police Department reported that the numbers actually dropped 28 percent from 2017 to 2018, from 362 reported auto thefts two years ago to 261 car break-ins last year.

Part of the discrepancy between anecdotal reports and official crime stats can likely be explained

by reluctance on the part of some victims to report break-ins that will total a few hundred dollars or less, below most insurance deductible thresholds. A sense of futility about reporting such crimes to the police is another variable.

“Over $500, it’s always worth reporting,” says Seth of Acumen Auto Glass, since people who have lost items of higher value are more likely to be compensated in the stillunlikely event that a perpetrator is caught and has funds available.

As for what he’s learned about customers recovering stolen items, “Whatever you have in your car, you better have a serial number.”

In the last year or so, reports

about “epidemic levels” of car breakins have reached pandemonium in the Bay Area, particularly in San Francisco. Concerned property owners and some politicians are quick to point fingers at the region’s increasingly glaring unsheltered homeless population, but investigations have documented burglary motives all over the map.

In Santa Clara County, the district attorney last year charged eight people with operating a “multimilliondollar” international crime ring that involved stealing laptops and other electronics from cars throughout the Bay Area, then shipping them overseas to be resold on the black market in Vietnam. On this >14

NUZ HALF GRASS

UNCHARTERED The Charter Amendment Committee is supposed to be meeting these days to talk about electoral reforms and the setup of the Santa Cruz City Council. But after efforts from the council’s new

Berniecrat majority to pack the committee with five new members raised eyebrows, the council tabled the discussion, and the item hasn’t come back.

Across California, cities have faced expensive lawsuits for not having electoral districts, and for not having enough diversity on their city councils—often for not having any Latino representation. (It frankly isn’t clear that district elections always improve diversity, but the courts don’t seem to care.)

And at a time when stubborn cities were getting sued left and right, Santa Cruz actually showed a morsel of leadership. The formation of the election committee last year sent a signal that the city was ready to shake up its system and look at possible reforms.

Cities that see legal challenges over their at-large elections typically have had one of three things happen.

They either settle their cases, lose in court or opt to fasttrack changes to their electoral systems in hopes that they can make lawsuits against them

go away. All three of those outcomes end up creating the same result—wasted taxpayer dollars and an outcome that ultimately involves getting district elections forced upon them, often in a way that residents would not have preferred.

Santa Cruz leaders should elect not to end up in one of those scenarios. The city can still get the band back together, with or without new members.

Maybe they’ll have some good ideas.

NUZ CORRECTION Danny Keith contacted us after last week’s column to point out that we had mischaracterized his post criticizing county leadership on Facebook amid a botulism outbreak—it was not opposing the local needle exchange, and we made a mistake in describing it as such. Nuz regrets the error. He also said we had taken his other Facebook activity out of context—“please clarify I am not advocating shooting homeless people,” he wrote.

When Nuz thinks about college, we’re reminded of how our best teachers would offer constructive criticism on final exams. In class discussions, they reminded students that, on the most important topics, there were no easy answers.

Now that the UC Regents are officially approving new UCSC housing developments, including on the East Meadow, the news was met with frustration from ecologists and faculty old-timers. Rumblings about a lawsuit are already audible.

Locals can disagree about whether the east-campus developments—which include improved childcare facilities— would have been better planned by extending onto the Porter Meadow, home to the California red-legged frog, or upper campus, which would have involved clearcutting redwoods. Without rehashing all the pros and cons, the developer and college administrators argued that either would have been more expensive (and that claim has been bolstered by the

regents’ approval). Honestly, the ecological impacts of any alternative might have been much worse.

Nuz, meanwhile, is reflecting on the housing crisis. We’re thinking about all the Santa Cruz residents who’ve been begging the school to build more units. Most of those same groups fell silent—quieter than the Science and Engineering Library during spring break—when an actual housing idea got presented and it came to approving 3,000plus units, for a net growth of 2,100 new places to live.

It’s easy to fake your way through discussion sections.

But when finals roll around, you should show up for the test, sit down and be ready to engage with some smart, nuanced answers, even when the right ones aren’t easy.

PODDING ALONG Transient orcas, which feed on small marine mammals, swim through the Monterey Bay.

APRIL 10-16, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

DIRECT CURRENT <11

Monterey Bay nonprofit Marine Life Sciences just released its 2018 field report on Risso’s dolphins.

McInnes and Mathieson are amassing data and combining it with records from Peggy Stap, the nonprofit’s executive director. The team hopes to publish its multi-year findings soon.

“It’s a huge asset for them to come down and make connections,” Stap says. “It’s like the difference between studying one fish in a pond, as opposed to a huge lake or an ocean.”

McInnes says the team is starting to see patterns as they compare British Columbia whales to those in the Monterey Bay. Researchers are seeing differences in prey selection, as well as similarities in group sizes.

Sharing information is a big part of the local marine biology community. Rachel Kippen, the new executive director for O’Neill Sea Odyssey, got a call recently from Stap letting her know that a big pod of

orcas had arrived in the bay.

The Sea Odyssey’s catamaran takes elementary school children out on the water to teach them about ocean life.

Kippen says instructors are ready to pivot the lesson plan at a moment’s notice, should a student point out something exciting on the water.

Kippen remembers hearing about one day last year when a field trip captain learned that there was a large pod of orcas a few miles offshore. After checking-in with the class teacher, the crew scrapped its lesson plan and made a beeline for the pod in hopes of finding the whales. The plan paid off.

“Are you freaking kidding me?” Kippen remembers thinking. “You’re in the fifth grade, and you spent your morning surrounded by orcas? There’s a short list of people around here that have ever experienced that! How do you not become an ocean scientist after something like that?’’

FOR THE FIN Different populations of killer whales develop their own special diets as they grow up and learn to hunt, a process that McInnes wants to learn more about.

The other day, the Marine Life Sciences team spotted a pod of transient orcas that works together like a naval fleet at war to hunt baby gray whales in the Monterey Canyon. Transient killer whales typically feed off marine mammals, with individual pods developing a preference for calves, sea lions or harbor seals. Offshore orcas eat sharks. Southern resident killer whales, which include the L-Pod orcas, are typically fish eaters. The L-Pod whales prefer salmon.

This spring marked the first time since 2011 that L-Pod was spotted in the Monterey Bay, and the fourth local sighting since 2000. The pod, which is made up of 34 whales, normally splits up, but McInnes was able to identify 28 L-Pod whales on the team’s recent encounter, and he believes the other six may be in the group as well.

Southern resident killer whales aren’t doing

well, and their numbers are dropping. McInnes isn’t sure of the significance of L-Pod’s trip to the Central Coast, or that the group appears to be sticking together. But he says it’s possible that they’re finding a lot of fish, given that salmon season is getting started. Many resident orca calves have been dying off, so McInnes was delighted to see that the latest addition to the orca group, a months-old calf researchers have named L124—nicknamed “Lucky”—looks to be doing well.

McInnes, who grew up being fascinated with bugs and amphibians, says that getting involved in science as a hobby is a great way for anyone with a curious mind to make a positive contribution to the world, or to enrich their own life.

Anyone can grab a notepad and go into their garden to study something, he says.

“Discovery science hasn’t died. Wanting to know about something is so important—just being interested,” McInnes says. “I think people forgot that just being interested about an animal doesn’t have to be about profit. It can be just for our own knowledge.”

Online forums like Reddit, Yelp and Facebook offer no shortage of testimonials about expensive repairs for smashed windows in Santa Cruz. Locals off Ocean Street report backpacks with disc golf supplies snatched out of back seats. Tourists with out-of-state plates parked outside vacation rentals often make for easy marks.

How much unexpected window repairs will cost varies dramatically, from $130 or so for an easy-toreplace panel to $1,500 for one small triangular panel in the backseat of a Tesla, but sometimes they can run more than that, Seth says. Chrome moldings, rubber sealants and other small details can make a big difference in the tab drivers end up paying.

“Each individual piece of glass has its own history behind it,” he says. “The smallest little window in the car could end up being the most expensive to replace.”

At Staub’s shop, one of the most notable changes is how brazen break-ins have become.

“Now it’s happening in front of people’s offices in the middle of the day,” she says. “We do have some repeat people that unfortunately get broken into quite frequently, two or three times.”

Though the problem is easy to pinpoint, what to do about it isn’t as clear. Staub had one customer who reported a bottle of wine in the front seat that wasn’t touched. Those who opt to leave cars unlocked to discourage smashing windows have sometimes returned to find people who have let themselves in.

“There’s not a lot you can do,” she says says. “Don’t leave anything valuable. Don’t leave anything, really.”

The official host of Record Store Day in the U.K. and author of ‘Why Vinyl Matters’ is also an evangelist for her hometown of Santa Cruz, where she discovered her obsessive love of music BY WALLACE BAINE

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | APRIL 10-16, 2019

or someone who loves music, job titles don’t get much cooler than what’s on Jennifer Otter Bickerdike’s business card. The Londonbased writer and teacher is currently the Global Music Ambassador for the British & Irish Modern Music (BIMM) institute, which means she gets to recruit and invite famous musicians for master classes at one of the U.K.’s most prestigious music schools.

With a doctorate in the academic study of pop music, she is a regular commentator on British media and at music festivals, and gives talks at places like Cambridge University on fan culture. She’s now positioned herself as one of the world’s authorities on the vinyl resurgence with her new book Why Vinyl Matters: A Manifesto from Musicians and Fans, which includes interviews from such music demi-gods as Fatboy Slim, Lars Ulrich, Henry Rollins, and Nick Hornby. She was even the host of the U.K.’s official observance of Record Store Day. By any measure of cultural cachet, the woman known as JOB has an awesome job.

But, as often as she can get away with it, on stage at festivals and on television, Bickerdike will wear a shirt that, in some way, advertises her hometown, the landscape where she grew up, the place where her heart still lives, even if the rest of her body is nine time zones away.

Bickerdike is an evangelist for Santa Cruz.

“My passion for Santa Cruz goes beyond any sort of reason,” said the 47-year-old former competitive swimmer and grad of Harbor High School.

“It’s in the very nucleus of every cell of my body. It’s the best place in the universe. Full stop. Period. It has kinda soured any other experiences I’ve had going places, because I grew up in the greatest place in the world.”

Today, as a go-to authority on fan culture, particularly in her areas of most intense interest—the music of Ian Curtis and Joy Division, the cult of rock stars who died young, and the genre of mellow ’70s rock called “yacht rock”— Bickerdike holds fast to her Santa Cruz upbringing as both a badge of authenticity and as the source of a passionate attachment to music that allows her to commune with fans of all kinds.

<19 But in many ways, that “greatest place in the world” doesn’t quite exist anymore. Her musical passions are not only a function of place, but time, too. When she talks about Santa Cruz, Bickerdike is talking about a particular era in Santa Cruz, the 1980s—pre-Loma Prieta, pre-Internet, pre-obscene real estate valuations. She is a kind of avatar of a specific generational brand of fandom, namely Gen X, the last cohort that grew up

in the days before the tyranny of the download and streaming revolutions. She came of age with a nexus of habits, technologies and associations forever lost in the complete triumph of digital culture.

It has created within her and many other people of her generation a sense of longing best captured in the most foundational pop song of Bickerdike’s experience: Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”

“I would go to Cymbaline, and, oh my god, I was just shocked—shocked!—at these people, they were probably UCSC students, with dyed hair and pierced noses. When you’re 11, 12 years old in the ’80s, that felt so cool and out there.” — JEN OTTER BICKERDIKE <20

’80S FLASHBACKS

22

Young Jen Otter grew up in Live Oak and, as a pre-teen in the early Reagan years, would ride her blue banana-seat bike from her home to downtown’s Pacific Garden Mall.

She was 11 when the Nicolas Cage film Valley Girl came out. The film itself was meh, but the soundtrack— Plimsouls, Psychedelic Furs, Modern English—blew her mind.

She began to regularly haunt Logos, the legendary Santa Cruz usedbook and record store, checking in every week to see if the Valley Girl soundtrack had come in. (It never did, but decades later, when she told the story to Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins, he found the album and had it sent to her as a gift).

Later, at another downtown touchstone, Cymbaline Records, the fervent young fan would pester clerks about the Smiths’ import Hatful of Hollow. Eventually, a clerk dug out an in-store copy and gave it to her. It’s a gesture that, to this day more than 30 years later, fills her with the gratitude of a novice allowed into an exclusive community. It was at yet another downtown shrine, Café Pergolesi, where she heard “Love Will Tear Us Apart” for the first time.

“I would go to Cymbaline,” she remembers, “and, oh my god, I was just shocked—shocked!—at these people, they were probably UCSC students, with dyed hair and pierced noses. When you’re 11, 12 years old

in the ’80s, that felt so cool and out there.”

In those days, she says, there was a considerable coolness gap between Harbor High and Santa Cruz High. Since she was a swimmer who worked as a lifeguard at the pool at Harvey West, she knew a lot of Westside kids from Santa Cruz High and quickly moved into their cultural orbit, which was often centered on music, from punk and new wave to early hip-hop. It was a time when Santa Cruz used to feel like it was filled with music, from the Doobie Brothers hits playing at the Boardwalk and on radios at the beach, to the live music outside the Cooper House and pulsing from the downtown clubs, to the bleedingedge pop playing in the record stores.

In 1990, Bickerdike graduated Harbor and moved away to college at UC Davis. Even though the Loma Prieta earthquake had put a tragic punctuation on her childhood, she says, “Literally within two weeks of going off to university, I was telling myself that I’ve made the worst mistake of my life.”

EXPERT FORMS The music of Santa Cruz prepared her well for a career in the stillpowerful, pre-Napster recording industry. She parlayed an entrylevel position as a college-radio rep into a years-long career with the Interscope/Geffen, Polygram and

Universal labels, working with some of the most high-wattage names in the music biz.

Long-time friend Leslie Van Every first met Bickerdike around 2000, when Bickerdike was working at Interscope. “She’d say, ‘Hey, come with me, I have to go entertain this band.’ And it would be No Doubt! And she would be, all, ‘Whatever.’ That was just Jen’s way.”

Gavin Hayes, vocalist and guitarist for the band Dredg, which started in Los Gatos, also met Bickerdike through Interscope when his band was signed to the label. “She brought a whole maternal piece to the Interscope thing,” he said. “She’s still one of the most educated and passionate people about music that I know. She’s been able to retain this kind of excitement of a 14-year-old kid in line at a punk show.”

In 2001, a classmate at Harbor, Hunter McPherson, was killed in a random act of violence in San Francisco. His death shook her.

The music industry was in the throes of a fundamental and painful transformation, and Bickerdike herself was “drowning in depression, booze and self-loathing.”

Hunter’s murder moved her to make a change. She decided to do what she had only fantasized about before—move to the U.K. to enroll in a doctoral program in cultural studies at Goldsmith’s in London.

As much as she was devoted to Santa Cruz, the music that stirred her soul in those days was almost exclusively Brit-pop. Joy Division is

source of endless fascination. In her thirties, she considered the Smiths her religion. Only in that context does leaving sunny California for gloomy England make any sense.

It was 2009 when Bickerdike made the leap across the Atlantic. On her last day in Santa Cruz, remembers her friend Van Every, she rode the carousel at the Boardwalk and grabbed the brass ring, which she kept. On the way out of town, they stopped at the beach at Natural Bridges, where Bickerdike scooped out a handful of Santa Cruz sand.

“She literally held it in her hand until we got to the airport,” said Van Every.

In the last decade, she’s written four books, and is working on another, a biography of Velvet Underground chanteuse Nico. She’s grown into her role as a kind of resident expert in fan culture. When something happens in music culture that demands mainstream attention, such as the death of David Bowie or Prince, “I’m hauled out like Hannibal Lecter,” she jokes. Having a Ph.D. lends her an air of credibility, but being a woman in media doesn’t hurt. “The vagina really helps me get those jobs,” she says.

STILL SPINNING Why Vinyl Matters is Bickerdike’s first book for mainstream audiences. (Her previous books, including such titles as The Secular Religion of Fandom, were more academically oriented). Vinyl is essentially a highly curated series of

<24 interviews with U.K. music-industry heavyweights who’ve given a lot of thought to the cultural and artistic dimensions of listening to music on vinyl LPs. It’s a roster of people that might baffle the casual fan, but will make hearts flutter for music snobs on both sides of the Atlantic.

Bickerdike is not among those who claim that music necessarily sounds better on vinyl than on other formats. Her devotion to vinyl has more to do with the ritualistic aspects of vinyl culture—which, in her view, allows for a more public identification with admired artists, from the display of record collections in the home to the rock T-shirts so beloved by Gen-X fans.

“Vinyl takes up space in your life,” she says. “So when you buy that Talking Heads album, you’re putting a stake in the ground and saying this is worth taking up space in my home. It’s like [visual] art in that way, and it makes a difference.”

APRIL 10-16, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO YACHT

26

Yacht rock—a catch-all term that includes Toto, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald and many more— has legions of fans around the world, but Bickerdike’s passion for it is not likely to win her a lot of friends in the higher reaches of the rock world.

“I once almost got into a fistfight with Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit about Hall and Oates,” she says.

Another time, in an interview with New Order’s Peter Hook, she asked him about his foundational album growing up, to which he replied that it was Never Mind the Bullocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. When he turned the question back to her, “I bust out with Cyndi Lauper’s She’s So Unusual. You should have seen it.

He looked like I farted in his face.

He was like, ‘That’s not as good as the Slits!’ I was like, what? I was 10 years old, buying this record of this chick with bright orange hair! That was pretty outrageous for a kid in Santa Cruz.”

Her fierce defense of cheesy rock is part of her fearless personality.

“When I was single and dating

people, I could reveal if I had a venereal disease or a secret child, and it was no big deal. But once I said I had Phil Collins’s No Jacket Required on vinyl, that would be the end of the relationship.”

In 2012, Jen married a native Brit, James Bickerdike (who, she says, is not a fan of yacht rock). They were married in Santa Cruz, by the surfer statue on West Cliff, and after the ceremony, the whole wedding party followed the sound of the Doobie Brothers and Hall and Oates to the Boardwalk.

In the U.K., Bickerdike is still the outsider. And to her, that’s a good thing.

“One of the big reasons my career has gone so well here is because I’m different. I’m a Californian, and people think that’s weird and exotic and bizarre. They always ask me, ‘Why would you ever leave California?’”

If there’s hint of darkness in her life, it also has to do with Santa Cruz. For years, she has told anyone who’ll listen that she’ll one day return to Santa Cruz. But the cost of housing has made that dream seem as remote as ever. When she looks at the houses available in the area and the prices they’re commanding, “It’s something that repulses, horrifies and saddens me in a way that I really cannot put into words. It’s completely illogical, but I still long for it, desperately, in a way where I don’t really want to be anywhere else.”

In describing Bickerdike’s attachment to Santa Cruz, her friend Leslie Van Every evokes Gone With the Wind.

“What Santa Cruz has meant to her is extraordinary,” she says. “It’s her Tara. It’s where she goes when she has to decide the next steps in her life. It’s where she gains power and where she feels centered. Every time she leaves, it’s like you can see the marks of her fingernails as she’s being dragged away. But she has a great thing there. She’s married to a Brit. She has obligations there. But she will return and make an impact here. Jen Otter’s story is certainly not finished in Santa Cruz.”

ompetition may be the nature of business, but on Record Store Day in Santa Cruz, the only real competition is between vinyl lovers trying to get the exclusive releases before they sell out. As for the record stores themselves, Metavinyl owner Paul Speraw says he always sees the crowds flowing freely between his store and Streetlight Records on Record Store Day (RSD), which this year falls on Saturday, April 13. There’s more a feeling of one large community than anything else.

“It’s just a cool day for record people to come downtown,” says Speraw.

The unwritten rule of RSD is, “You snooze, you lose,” so those hoping to get their hands on a particular release have learned to go early. With that in mind, Speraw will be opening his store an hour early on Saturday, at 10 a.m. And there’s always a line when Streetlight opens on RSD, which this Saturday will also be 10 a.m.

In terms of the exclusives, Speraw is particularly looking forward to the three-LP set AndOarAgain, which collects previously unreleased material from the studio sessions for Alexander “Skip” Spence’s classic 1969 record Oar. There are certainly a number of re-issues, often of out-of-print albums and usually decked up in some type of colored vinyl. Streetlight Records lists on their website (streetlightrecords.com) what they plan to get in their Santa Cruz and San Jose stores, and the entire catalogue of this year’s releases is available at recordstoreday.com. Speraw says that though record store owners do put in requests for particular albums—and try to provide as many as they can—because of the limited pressings they can never be entirely sure what they’ll actually get from distributors.

Having done a few RSD hunts in my life—including a particularly fruitless one last year where I arrived late and struck out almost completely on my wish list—I’d recommend waking up early to be near the front of the line. Check out the releases online and prepare your requests in advance; don’t go in just for one thing, because you might come back empty-handed—instead, write down a handful of albums in the order you want them. If you strike out on one through three, at least you can still get four and five. Streetlight and Metavinyl both do a great job of helping customers find the RSD albums they want, if they have them, but in my experience, there is no real browsing on Record Store Day. Wait your turn, and have that list ready!

Two Santa Cruz artists try to up Santa Cruz’s public-art profile with a mural at Mission and Bay streets BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

Reinhold are mural masters, the artists behind some of Santa Cruz’s most recognizable public artwork.

But you’re about to get to know them a little more. The duo has a new, very public project coming up at the intersection of Bay and

Mission streets. It’s the largest project they have taken on, and will be Santa Cruz County’s largest public mural at over 600 feet long.

“Sometimes when I drive by I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s not that big,’” Greathouse says. “Other days I drive

and see just how much wall there is to cover, and it’s like ‘Whoa, that’s a lot’.”

Reinhold adds: “If you stacked it all up vertically, it would be, like, a six-or seven-story building. It’s one of the hardest walls we have

“Right now, school districts are spending millions of dollars to paint schools grey.

Why not hire muralists?” —TAYLOR REINHOLD “The kids are going to see us painting it every day on their way to school, and they will see it all the time once it’s done,” Reinhold says. “When they walk out from school, they will be able to look at it and read the quotes on it and be reminded of what is in our marine sanctuary and why it’s such a beautiful place.”

The project has been in the works for more than two years. The idea came about at Open Studios back in October 2017, when Jim Holm from Clean Oceans International approached Reinhold and asked, “How do we paint that wall?” Since then, they say, it’s been a long road of permitting, fundraising, grantwriting, and planning.

“We are just pushing through. We are willing to do anything to make this happen,” Greathouse says. “We just want to get paint on the wall.”

There are always issues and delays, from permitting to cost coverage, when it comes to public art, but this project had the added uncertainty of confusion over who owned the wall. Despite the fact that it is part of Bay View Elementary, the wall actually belongs to CalTrans because it is on Highway 1, and the permitting process with CalTrans took more than six months.

Greathouse and Reinhold aren’t newbies when it comes to public art permitting, but after getting approval from CalTrans, the city of Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz Police Department, they are crossing their fingers that there are no more lastminute technical bridges to cross before they begin painting.

“We are having to navigate a lot of different groups, from the police to CalTrans, the neighbors, the traffic, everyone and everything.

We have never had to deal with this many moving parts at the same time before,” Greathouse says. >30 But Greathouse and

done, because it’s such a highprofile wall.”

The project is set to commence in May, and will center around marine conservation while highlighting pollution in the Monterey Bay. Together, Reinhold and Greathouse run the Fresh Walls Project, an organization that partners with local nonprofits to support education through public art. They have been working together professionally for around four years but have known each other for much longer.

“Scotty got me my first job when I was 15, at a skate shop,” Reinhold says. “He was my idol.”

Since then they have collaborated on more than 10 murals together, but also say their styles couldn’t be more opposite. While Greathouse is much more technical and precise, Reinhold admits he’s all about just getting paint on the wall. But the educational side of their work with the Fresh Walls Project is something new.

“The future goal is to show up to a school with all of the funding and just be like, ‘Let’s paint this wall, what do you want on it?’” Reinhold says. “Right now, school districts are spending millions of dollars to paint schools grey. Why not hire muralists?”

With that goal in mind, the Mission Street mural will center around marine pollution and the damage that single-use plastic causes to our backyard ecosystem.

The nonprofit Clean Oceans International helped spearhead the project by hosting an educational program with Cabrillo and UCSC students. They held a workshop for students at Bayview Elementary to talk about Pacific Ocean pollution and how marine life is affected.

Some of the quotes from students will be included, and participants also got to choose some of the animals for the final piece.

Reinhold can’t do it alone—at least not quickly. They are hoping the process will take around six weeks total, if all goes well, so they are recruiting five or six other Bay Area artists to help them out. Some specialize in fine details, while others will help to get paint on the wall more broadly.

“I’m the only one who knows all of the artists pretty well. A lot of them haven’t met each other,” Reinhold says. “It’s like a baseball team. We are giving elements to each artist— someone will do kelp, another will do the 100-foot-long octopus, and someone else will do little crispy details that make the whole thing pop.”

To understand the magnitude of this project, the pair says it’s important to see what’s behind the final product. To get the mural done, they will have to shut down the right lane on Mission Street overnight while they do the initial outline.

Plus, since they use a giant paint sprayer, they’ll have to shield cars and trees and sidewalks, and divert pedestrian traffic.

“It’s gonna be an adventure,” says Greathouse with a laugh.

While the pair is used to doing volunteer-based murals, the sheer size of the project means it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Although community groups—including the city, Save Our Shores and the Arts Council—have pledged money to the project, the total bill will be somewhere between $60,000-90,000.

They haven’t raised anywhere near that much, so they are scrambling to fund it through a GoFundMe and auctioning off donation name slots on the final mural.

“We aren’t trying to make a killing on it. It’s a massive project that will take a ton of time. We aren’t clocking in on anything, it’s all been volunteer,” Greathouse says.

“This is one of many other projects and responsibilities that we are both juggling. Between hiring other people to join in and the massive amount of paint it requires, it all adds up.”

“We are going to max our credit cards out and hope that we get reimbursed,” Reinhold says.

They are hoping to raise some of the funding through grassroots donations. While some local vendors like Vasili’s Greek Restaurant and Mission Street BBQ have opted to contribute by feeling the artists during the process, other companies have helped financially. They say everything—and any amount—helps.

“We just want to bring new life to the wall. It’s for the community,” Greathouse says.

“This project is hopefully one of many more educational, messagedbased mural projects in the county,” Reinhold says. “We want to put our talents to good use in that way.”

SOMETHING TO INK ABOUT Monterey-based writer and poet Patrice Vecchione

Border Lines

A new collection of poetry gives voice to the immigrant experience BY WALLACE BAINE

R

hetorically speaking, the issue of immigration these days is a world of diatribe and invective, talking points and impotent argument. But a new book wants to bring a little poetry to the subject.

Ink Knows No Borders attempts to elevate the immigration debate with an anthology of poems by writers from every conceivable

ethnic background and corner of the world—all expressing, in the most vivid and evocative language, exactly what it means to leave one homeland and settle in another.

From its first line (“We were not prepared for it—America, the land cut like a massive slab of steak,” from poet Joseph O. Legaspi), the book guides the reader through the often-harrowing and heartbreaking

experience of immigration in a way that politicians and pundits don’t dare.

On Thursday, April 11, the book’s co-editor Patrice Vecchione will host an event at Bookshop Santa Cruz with contributing poets Alice Tao and Ellen Bass (newly named Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year), as well as poet Shirley Ancheta, who will read a contribution from her

late husband Jeff Tagami. Together, they will represent the 65 poets featured in the book.

Vecchione is a Monterey-based writer and poet who has served as the editor of almost a dozen anthologies of poetry, dating back almost 30 years. She says that Ink Knows No Borders follows a narrative thread.

“The book has an arc,” she says.

“It starts with young childhood and leaving the home country, and gradually moves into getting older and arrival, and all the complexities that people have to deal with when they come to a new country.”

Vecchione says the idea for a book of poems about immigration long preceded the 2016 election and debate over “the wall.”

“I got the idea for the book after 9/11,” she says, “when I saw how certain Americans were treating certain other Americans, and I was upset at the time. But it wasn’t the right time for me professionally.”

When Donald Trump was elected president, and how America treats its immigrants was suddenly the most pressing political debate, “I felt that it doesn’t matter what else I have to do, this has to be number one.”

Taken together, the poems present a fine-grained portrait of the volatile process of one culture attempting to fold into another, from an elderly Middle Eastern woman ritually washing her feet for prayer while in the bathroom of an American Sears store to an Asian woman struggling to explain that she was overcharged in a nursery.

“Poetry is a way to talk about and address a crisis like this in a way that no other art form can,” said Vecchione. “It’s made of language.

It’s personal and it’s specific. This book shows you everything you can imagine about what life is like as an immigrant.”

Patrice Vecchione, co-editor of ‘Ink Knows No Borders,’ with guest poets Ellen Bass, Alice Tao and Shirley Ancheta, will read and discuss the new collection at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free. bookshopsantacruz.com.

MUSIC

GOT YOUR NOTE Snarky Puppy side project Ghost-Note plays Moe’s Alley on Saturday.

Ghost Hunting

B

y the time drummer Sput Searight started GhostNote with Nate Werth, he’d already dabbled in more genres than most musicians do in a lifetime. Not only was he a member of the kaleidoscopic jamfusion band Snarky Puppy, but he’d also worked with Snoop Dogg, Timbaland and Kendrick Lamar.

All of that was just a prelude for Swagism, Ghost-Note’s second album.

It’s a dizzying, decidedly 21st-century jazz album, fully funked and respectful of no boundary. Interwoven equally with

inspirational monologues straight out of Gil Scott-Heron and a whole bunch of zany phone calls, Swagism is post-G Funk, post-Tarantino, postTo Pimp a Butterfly jazz music.

But it was almost something else entirely. Searight and Werth spent more than a decade playing as drummer and percussionist in Snarky Puppy. The two played thousands of shows together, developing a uniquely collaborative style along the way.

“After shows, people would be like, ‘What song was that you guys were playing? What kind of groove was that? Was that rehearsed?’ But

we just made it up on the spot,” says Searight. “After a while, we just started cracking jokes about putting out a record, saying it was going to be on our new release. We sat down and talked about it one day and were like, ‘We really should do that.’”

In 2015, the pair started working on music together. Later that year, they released Fortified, their first album as Ghost-Note.

“Initially, we wasn’t a band,” Searight says. “We were just two guys. Two percussionists that put out a record. It kind of gradually evolved into a band when people

Ghost-Note plays at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 14, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15. 479-1854.

How the members of Ghost-Note found, lost, and then re-invented their sound BY MIKE HUGUENOR

were asking us to come out and perform live. And the more we did that, the more interesting it got.”

Eventually, the ensemble grew to include Nate’s brother, Nick Werth, who plays an instrument called a “xylosynth.” “It’s pretty much like a vibraphone,” Searight says. “But he’s more like a DJ, the way he plays it.”

The xylosynth quickly became a central part of the band, and Searight and Werth set about writing an album for this new arrangement, a weird futuristic hybrid of electronics and percussion. This was the album that Ghost-Note was originally going to record. Then, less than a month away from the session, their xylosynth player told them he wouldn’t be playing on the record anymore.

The album was shot. But the studio time was already booked.

“We went into the studio dry,” Searight says. “With nothing, literally—a couple of ideas that we were conjuring up from other projects and stuff like that. But we didn’t have a game plan until the day we got there. And then we basically just threw out ideas, went in and recorded, started fleshing ’em out, and they started growing organically.”

Searight and Werth followed their instincts, chasing down ideas as they came. Clearly, they had some good ones, because the result is one of the most fun jazz albums in years.

“Everything we were playing in the studio was funk,” Searight says.

“We didn’t really go that direction on purpose. That just kind of organically happened. The record just kind of got really funky.”

This willingness to take jazz in a more pop direction is part of what makes Swagism such a thrilling record.

Check out the grimey synths and hi-hats in third track “Pace Maker,” or the almost J-pop melody on unabashed dance track “Fragile.” Taken as a whole, Swagism is a bracing reminder that jazz music isn’t a stuffy affair meant to be enjoyed in a turtleneck.

It’s alive, engaged with the moment.

“It’s just freedom of expression,” Searight says. “We pride ourselves on being creative at all times.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

ELIE MABANZA Local singer-songwriter Elie Mabanza yearns while he plays. It’s pain, but it’s also joy. It’s the full spectrum of intense emotions, and he’s an extremely talented vessel for it all.

The music he plays on his acoustic guitar, which sounds like a mix between flamingo and West African folk music, is so stirring that even people who don’t know him or understand the words he’s singing—he sings in French and Congolese—are still moved deeply.

“A homeless man told me once that my music is healing,” he says. “And another person said that they have lots of problems, ‘but when I listen to you, I feel better.’ Even though I sing in another language, they still understand.”

APRIL 10-16, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Originally from the Republic of Congo, Mabanza first picked up a guitar at age 10, though he tells me he’s been playing music since he was in the womb.

44

“I was born a musician,” he says.

Before moving to Santa Cruz in late 2017, he lived in North Carolina for three years. The audiences here, he noticed, were very different.

“The people are truly sensitive, and listen intently,” Mabanza says.

His seven-song CD, Acton Street Session – Rough Cuts is available for purchase on his website. He’s currently working on a new album, which he hopes to have finished by the end of the year. AARON CARNES 7 p.m. Sunday, April 14. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275, Hwy. 9, Felton. $10 adv/$12 door. 335-2800.

MDOU MOCTAR

WEDNESDAY 4/10 PUNK

HANS GRUBER & THE DIE HARDS Is there a better band name than Hans Gruber & the Die Hards? It’s almost impossible to not crack a smile after saying it. Somehow, it makes sense that the group would pack a tight-knit, ska-punk sound explosive enough to detonate Nakatomi Tower.

On Wednesday, they’re pulling the big heist—er, show—at the Blue Lagoon, with local wrestling accompaniment the Randy Savages and Reno’s own Lil’ Cap’n Ahabs, Boss’ Daughter. MAT WEIR 9 p.m. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

THURSDAY 4/11 CUMBIA

CELSO PINA In Latin America, Celso Pina, the king of Cumbia, is an electrifying figure.

Also known as “the Accordion Rebel,” Pina has been at the top of the cumbia genre for decades, famous for his infectious mix of Mexican accordion

music, native rhythms and tropical instrumentation—all of which is infused with a celebratory, pan-Latin American spirit. A forward-thinking musician, Pina has often collaborated with world renowned artists like Cafe Tacuba, Control Machete and Lila Downs, bringing cumbia music into the new millennium and keeping the genre relevant to younger generations. MIKE HUGUENOR 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $30 adv/$35 door. 479-1854.

INDIE

EMAEL White noise can be peaceful or a nuisance, depending on one’s mood.

Likewise, Emael’s mix of organic instruments and earthy-yet-otherworldly electronic beats whir and blend to create glitchy, discordant sounds which soothe as much as they disrupt. The group pours multiple genres in the ’ol mixing pot and have come up with a fresh and delicious potion of eclectic “indie chamber pop.” Chanting vocals and repetitive lyrics add to the witchy, fantasyland cadences. AMY BEE 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 4/12 INDIE

THE PRIDS Pop music is at its best when tinged with all those icky dark emo feelings.

The Prids know how to turn what might be merely fluffy into something weightier, with dreamy sonics swirling above heavy bass lines that promise a storm but never break.

The clever lyrics and anthem-esque, doubled-up vocals flash through the storm clouds in brilliant forks of light, illuminating the secret heartache on every young emo’s face.

The Prids could be looked at as Pixies Lite or R.E.M. Ebon, which is really a compliment (and an improvement?) either way. AB 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

ROCK

JOE KAPLOW If you haven’t heard the name Joe Kaplow, you probably aren’t a local.

That’s OK, we won’t tell. But don’t worry, there’s a chance to get acquainted with Joe and his band—celebrating their debut record release,

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST PARTY FAVOR

JOE KAPLOW

Time Spent In Between—at Michael’s on Main. Kaplow’s music is a timeless mix of blues, folk and country, with a head filled with too much thinking.

Luckily, he takes his stories, ideas and metaphors out of his mind for long walks through sun-soaked melodies and into steep canyons of emotion. MW 8:30 p.m. Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $12 adv/$15 door. 479-9777.

BLUES

JIMMIE VAUGHAN You know Stevie Ray Vaughan was good, because in every photo he’s making that “guitar legend” face like he’s feeling every note. His older brother Jimmie is a bit more subtle, although no doubt a hipster-retro cool guy. He’s no less of a remarkable guitarist, though. Jimmie founded the Fabulous Thunderbirds in the ’70s, but has also released several impressive electric blues albums of his own.

His approach to the blues is just so damn cool. Come on, look at those shades! AC 8 p.m. Rio, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $45. 423-8209.

HIP-HOP

LEIKELI47 Rapper Leikeli47 is fierce. Her flow sounds like a call-to-arms, especially set to her upbeat, energy-infused beats.

Sometimes personal, sometimes political, it all has the same fearless vibe. But perhaps all of this, while worth noting, is second to the enigma of the rapper herself, who only performs wearing a mask. Who is she? What is she hiding?

Or maybe she wants the attention taken off her as a person, so that we can focus on the razor-sharp lyricism she drops in her songs. She moves comfortably from hardcore rap to R&B. And her music is really fun. AC 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $16/adv, $20/door. 423-1338.

MONDAY 4/15 JAZZ

KURT ROSENWINKEL Kurt Rosenwinkel was barely 20 years old when he dropped out of Berklee to hit the road with vibraphone legend Gary Burton, taking over a chair that had launched the careers of Pat Metheny

and Mick Goodrick. He’s more than lived up to the promise of that auspicious gig, establishing himself as one of the most eloquent and influential guitarists of his generation. While he’s an esteemed composer, Rosenwinkel is touring with a trio that focuses on his arrangements of classic jazz tunes, featuring drummer Mark Whitfield, Jr. and Italian bassist Dario Deidda. ANDREW GILBERT 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $31.50 adv/$36.75 door. 427-2227.

TUESDAY 4/16

9 p.m. Thursday, April 25, Catalyst.

1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$22 door. Information: catalystclub.com. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 18, to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

MDOU MOCTAR

DAVE HOLODILOFF BAND

An iconoclastic guitar wizard, Mdou Moctar taught himself to play on a homemade guitar before getting his hands on the real thing. By then, he had already carved out a unique voice, fusing traditional Tuareg harmonies with raga, psychedelic and an undeniable, if unorthodox, pop sensibility. Performing blazing rock pyrotechnics in traditional garb, Moctar is a testament to the power of music worldwide. MH 7 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $16 adv/$20 door. 335-2800.

Party Favor makes dance music— obviously—that’s really fun to move to.

I mean, the DJ’s name is Party Favor.

He might as well just call himself, “Your party ain’t nothing without me.”

He released an EP in 2016 called Party & Destroy. If we’re honest, partying and destroying is exactly what you’ll want to do when you turn his music on. So you might as well get decked out in your wackiest threads and leave your inhibitions at home. A night with Party Favor is a night you won’t forget, unless you party too hard and don’t remember anything.

TAME TIME, TAME PLACE Matthias Schoenaerts takes on ‘The Mustang.’

Iconic animals and a towering performance highlight ‘The Mustang’ BY LISA JENSEN

M

atthias Schoenaerts has a great face for the movies.

With his long, crooked nose and hooded-yetpiercing eyes, he can seem completely impassive, almost catatonic. And yet a cascade of tightly controlled responses flicker across his face at the tiniest compression of his mouth or flattening of his eyebrows. It’s a face worth watching, and the Belgian actor who first came to prominence opposite Marion Cotillard in Rust and Bone is the best reason to see The Mustang.

With Robert Redford in the saddle as executive producer, The Mustang was workshopped through the

Sundance Institute as the feature film debut for director Laure de ClermontTonnerre. Working from her original story idea, actress-turned-filmmaker Clermont-Tonnerre (who wrote the script with Mona Fastvold and Brock Norman Brock) spins a tale of wild horses, regret and redemption set in a high-security prison complex out in the middle of the Nevada desert.

The analogy between wild-spirited mustangs and incarcerated men who have lost their freedom is pretty standard stuff, yet the nuances of character, story and subtle, yet profoundly felt emotion keep viewers involved.

Schoenaerts stars as Roman, a wary, tight-lipped prison inmate so taciturn he makes Clint Eastwood look like a chatterbox. After 12 years in the system, he’s recently been transferred to a new facility en route to being gradually reintegrated into society. (The movie was shot in and around the former Nevada State Prison in Carson City.)

It takes a while to find out what Roman is in for. He’s not exactly the type to chum up to his fellow inmates and share his life story—especially not with his jittery roommate (Josh Stewart). Nor does he cozy up to the prison therapist (Connie Britton),

who tries to break through his protective psychological armor; we also see her conducting a session on “restorative justice,” the new buzz phrase for what used to be called “anger management.” Beneath his stoic demeanor, Roman radiates a potential for volatility that no one wants to push too far.

His story plays out against the larger backdrop of a wild horse round-up out in the surrounding desert, where mustangs are herded by helicopter into a holding corral adjacent to the prison. There, select inmates are assigned to break and gentle the animals for auction as part of their rehabilitation process under the watchful eye of program director Myles (Bruce Dern), a crusty, cantankerous old horse trainer.

There are no particular surprises in the story; the tenderness with which Roman bonds with his horse begins to seep—very gradually—into his fractured relationship with his angry, abandoned grown daughter (Gideon Adlon), who occasionally visits him in prison with papers for him to sign.

But Clermont-Tonnerre’s storytelling is thoughtful and stirring with lovely moments, like the first time the horse unexpectedly nuzzles the frustrated, frazzled Roman.

And then there’s Schoenaerts, whose haunted eyes take in everything, revealing the merest glimpses of feeling buried beneath his posture of menace.

Schoenaerts has had a long, varied career in European film, from the steroid-pumped protagonist in Bullhead to romantic leads in Far From the Madding Crowd and A Little Chaos (he also played a slinky art dealer in The Danish Girl), and it’s always interesting to see what he’ll do next.

The other compelling aspect of the movie is its loving tribute to iconic wild mustangs from producer Redford, the horse whisperer himself.

It’s these spirited animals whose freedom he (and we) care about most.

THE MUSTANG *** (out of four) With Matthias Schoenaerts, Bruce Dern, Jason Mitchell, and Connie Britton. Directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre. Written by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, Mona Fastvold and Brock Norman Brock. A Focus Features release. Rated R. 96 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES ASH IS PUREST WHITE Chinese crime epic has a high-powered mob couple falling in and out of love as they try to escape from “the life.” Directed by Jia Zhangke.

Starring Zhao Tao and Liao Phan.

136 minutes. (SP) HELLBOY Original Hellboy Ron Perlman has been pushing for a third film in Guillermo del Toro’s series about the comic book halfdemon for years. But the studio decided to reboot the franchise instead, with director Neil Marshall and star David Harbour. Now, I loved Marshall’s spelunking-horror breakthrough film The Descent, and Harbour’s great as Chief Hopper on Stranger Things. But c’mon, Perlman is the only guy cool enough to play Vincent on the old TV show Beauty and the Beast, be a badass biker on Sons of Anarchy, blow up an alien in Alien Resurrection, and do voices on Spongebob Squarepants. (R) 120 minutes. (SP)

MISSING LINK I don’t know why cryptozoology is suddenly all the rage, but there are two films about yeti—Smallfoot and the upcoming Abominable—in two years, and this movie about a Sasquatch … who goes looking for yeti? Geez, there are some serious yeti lovers in these animation studios, I’ll tell you that. Anyway, Smallfoot was a wonderful surprise—the rare kid’s movie that is funny, smart and subversive. Missing Link hopes to repeat its success with stop-motion comedy-adventure and a pairing of Zach Galifianakis and Hugh Jackson as the voices

TRANSIT German film has a man stealing a dead writer’s identity to flee France after the Nazi invasion.

Starring Frank Wogowski, Paula Beer and Godehard Giese. Directed

by Christian Petzoid. 101 minutes.

(SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https:// groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING APOLLO 11 If you’re thinking, “Wait a minute, didn’t I already see this movie?”—no, that might have been Ron Howard’s Apollo 13.

(I hope for your sake it wasn’t the god-awful horror movie Apollo 18, about a moon mission that never actually happened.) Or maybe it was The Last Steps, the 2016 documentary about Apollo 17. It could definitely have been First Man, last year’s Neil Armstrong biopic starring Ryan Gosling that worked its way up to the Apollo 11 mission. It’s hard to keep all these Apollos and the movies about them straight, but this documentary is a brand-new look at the 1969 mission that first got us to the moon, and it’s been pieced together entirely out of archival footage (some of it never before seen), with no narration or talkinghead interviews. Its unusual approach won it the Special Jury Award for Editing at Cannes last month. (G) 93 minutes. (SP) THE BEACH BUM I really loved Harmony Korine’s 2012 springbreak-from-hell fever dream Spring Breakers. Don’t judge me! If you did, too, you might have wondered why he just flat out seemed to stop making movies after that.

Well, here’s the follow-up, finally.

Whereas Spring Breakers was a tribute/parody/deconstruction of

’80s surf movies, this one is maybe … The Big Lebowski goes Jimmy Buffett? Buffett does appear as himself here, alongside Matthew McConaughey as the wisecracking, rule-breaking title character, who has to somehow pull his act together and write the Great American Novel. Co-starring Zac Efron, Isla Fisher, Martin Lawrence, and Jonah Hill. (R) 95 minutes.

(SP) THE BEST OF ENEMIES Anyone else starting to wonder if Sam Rockwell is just a little too into playing racists? Don’t get me wrong, the roles are in wellmeaning movies—including this one, in which Rockwell plays a reallife KKK leader who battled with civil rights activist Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson) for years, until an unlikely event changed their relationship for good. Co-starring Anne Heche and Wes Bentley. (PG13) (SP) CAPTAIN MARVEL Expert script-flippage gives texture to the heartfelt female empowerment message within Captain Marvel. Brie Larson’s appealing underplaying of the title character sells this material, which isn’t the freshest. Despite some starchy Louisiana heartland sequences, this is an effective fantasy of power used with grace and without arrogance, featuring a constantly underestimated figure rising up again after being knocked down.

Fully charged up and blazing in the heavens, this Captain Marvel is as fine an embodiment of the Superman figure as there has been in the movies. (PG-13) 123 minutes.

(RvB) DUMBO I’ve seen a horse fly.

I’ve seen a dragon fly. I’ve seen a house fly. But I’ve been, done, seen about everything when I see an elephant fly. And you can too, in this live-action adaptation of the sorta-sweet-I-guess-butwhen-I-was-a-kid-it-sure-seemedhella-depressing Disney classic.

Directed by Tim Burton. Starring Colin Ferrell, Michael Keaton, Eva Green, and Danny DeVito. (PG) 112 minutes. (SP)

GLORIA BELL Chilean director Sebastian Lelio remakes his celebrated 2013 film Gloria, about the love life of a 58-yearold divorcée, for an American audience. It seems like the kind of showcase for their talents that actors wait their whole lives for— and most never get—but Julianne Moore (who, it should be noted, is actually 58) is winning universal acclaim for taking the opportunity and running with it. And you know Laura Branigan is praying for a sequel! Keep that sweet, sweet trailer money coming! Co-starring John Turturro, Sean Astin and Michael Cera. (R) 102 minutes.

(SP) HOTEL MUMBAI Even if you’re familiar with the events on which it’s based, there’s still plenty of suspense dished up in this harrowing thriller from director and co-writer Anthony Maras, depicting the shocking terrorist attacks that fanned out across the city of Mumbai, India, for three days in November, 2008. Dev Patel gets star billing as a young Sikh waiter at the luxury Taj Palace Hotel, where staff and guests found themselves trapped in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three assault-weapon-toting terrorists inside the hotel itself. But there’s nothing especially transcendent in Maras’ storytelling—some epiphany that would make wading through all the bloodshed more meaningful. Directed by Anthony Maras. Starring Dev Patel, Armie Hammer and Nazinan Boniadi. (R) 123 minutes. (LJ) THE MUSTANG Reviewed this issue. (R) 96 minutes. (SP) PET SEMATARY “I don’t want to be buried in a pet cemetery,” the Ramones once sang, and they won’t be alone now that there is a movie remake to revive interest in what was easily Stephen King’s scariest book. The original film adaptation from 1987 was fun but campy, with Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster!) laying on a terrible Maine accent way too thick in lines like, “Sometimes dead is better,” and, “The soil of a man’s

heart is stonier, Louis.” The setup here is identical, with a doctor and his family moving to the edge of a small town and discovering that the pet cemetery deep in the woods doesn’t keep pets—or anything else—dead for long.

John Lithgow replaces Gwynne as the old neighbor, and even in the trailer you can hear how his delivery is scarier and camp-free.

Hopefully the rest of the movie is, too. Directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer. Co-starring Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz. (R) 101 minutes. (SP) SHAZAM! If you liked Captain Marvel, why not try … the other Captain Marvel! Yup, that was the original name of this DC character, who lost his copyright to Marvel Comics. The gimmick was that he was really just a boy, Billy Batson, who could turn into an adult superhero by shouting “Shazam!”

That premise gets played for laughs big-time in this adaptation; apparently DC has figured out people don’t want an endless stream of grimdark Zach Snyder comic-book movies. Directed

by David F. Sandberg. Starring Zachary Levi, Michelle Borth and Djimon Hounsou. (PG-13) 132 minutes. (SP) US For writer-director Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out, he’s in a Twilight Zone state of mind. The fact that he’s hosting a reboot of the show is proof that he’s all in with the TZ approach, and the premise of an American family attacked by its creepy doppelganger is straight out of the Rod Serling playbook. Us is both scarier and funnier than Get Out, which is quite a feat, but it doesn’t have the same laser focus as Peele’s previous film.

Try not to get too distracted by all those atmospheric shots of the Boardwalk and surrounding Santa Cruz streets—and don’t drive yourself crazy trying to figure out where that house on the lake is (those scenes were shot in SoCal). Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright, and Elisabeth Moss. (R) 116 minutes.

See, new ideas everywhere!

FOOD & DRINK la carte salsa, refried beans and a soda or Verve coffee will run $20 or more.

The Baja-style fish taco ($4.95) was delicious with its succulent interior, crisp batter, guajillo chile salsa, black beans, and cabbage. This is a good taco, as is the Tiki BBQ Pork taco ($3.95) with its zippy pineapple salsa. Less interesting, though adequately executed, were the ground beef Old School Taco ($3.95) and Carne Asada ($3.95) with pickled red onion, cilantro and cabbage.

For locals looking for a change of pace, out-of-towners seeking accessible options and selfie addicts, Snap Taco is one of a new wave of fast-casual restaurants paring down the costs and formality of table service dining, and is the latest offering from the entrepreneurs behind Penny Ice Creamery, the Picnic Basket and the late fullservice Assembly.

I look forward to future meals at Snap Taco when the new restaurant disorientation and menu overload have died down—five exceptional tacos, rather than 10 scattered options. Snap’s menu is loaded with items that are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free. Seating verges on chaotic, but that can be eased. The colors could also be kicked up a notch to amplify the ambiance—or maybe after a few cocktails everything looks brighter.

New-school Snap Taco takes over old Assembly space BY CHRISTINA WATERS

‘E

at Tacos, Be Happy,” insists the menu at Snap Taco, downtown’s frenetic new outpost for “New School tacos.” The former Assembly space on Pacific Avenue is now home to hipster-industrial booths, a slender banquette for duo diners and a stable of group-friendly roundtops balanced on revamped metal drums. From the colorful facade, I expected all high-wattage, Baja-inspired tones inside. There are occasional painted stripes and leafy

palms, but the design is filtered through a surprisingly muted northof-the-border aesthetic, with a bit of Boardwalk kitsch thrown in.

The concept wants to be easy: you step up to the front counter, order, pay, and wait for a text to pick up your order. Meanwhile, you can grab a seat near the Instagram-friendly red neon “Tacos” sign or under the outdoor patio’s tin roof and debate whether it’s late enough for one of those good-looking cocktails from the bar. At lunch last week, we

ordered the day’s special citrushoney gingerade ($4) and wow, was it delicious! Great with Snap’s complimentary warm chips and citrusy-but-unexciting salsa.

The four tacos we’d ordered arrived nestled tightly in a metal tray. It was hard to tell which was which, and to keep the guts from spilling out. The salsa verde ($4.50) we ordered was quite good, a terrific accent. Two of the streetsized tacos (at least) are needed for an actual meal, which along with a

n the market for a moderately priced Cuvée 2016 Chardonnay to sip as the weather warms up?

For about $18 a bottle, Testarossa Winery of Los Gatos produces a really well-made Chard.

With its straw-yellow color and lovely aromas of tangerine, tamarindorange, peach, apricot, banana, and vanilla, it’s a delightful semi-sweet mouthful of almost-tropical nectar.

A multi-vineyard blend of grapes harvested in Monterey, this lovely wine that I found at Aptos Natural Foods has bright acidity and a balanced finish. It comes with a screw cap. What could be easier?

“Cuvée Los Gatos by Testarossa pays homage to the historic 19th-century town which Testarossa has called home since 1997,” the label explains.

Testarossa Winery sits on an old novitiate property where wine has been made since 1888. It’s well worth visiting—if only to walk through the tunnel where stunning old photos of yesteryear’s Silicon Valley are displayed, along with old photographs of Jesuit fathers checking the barrels back when they made wine there.

Testarossa now has three places to enjoy their fine wines: Los Gatos, Carmel and a new spot called Wine

Bar 107 attached to their Los Gatos tasting room. “Wine Bar 107 is an extension of the Testarossa Winery experience,” say the folks at Testarossa. Wines are paired with small plates in a beautiful setting during afternoons and evenings Thursday-Saturday. Add in live music, and it’s a new upbeat offering for wine lovers.

Testarossa Winery, 300 College Ave., Los Gatos. 408-354-6150, testarossa.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES JUPITER RETROGRADES AND PASSION WEEK Esoteric Astrology as news for week of April 10, 2019

We have eventful and complex weeks ahead.

Jupiter is stationary retrograde Wednesday.

Sunday (April 14) is Palm Sunday, which begins Holy Week (also called Passion Week), all leading up to Good Friday (and second full moon during Aries), Holy Saturday (sun enters Taurus) and Easter Sunday (April 21), the Resurrection Festival.

Jupiter—planet of love, wisdom, expansion, and beneficence—becomes stationary retrograde this week. Jupiter retrogrades at 24 degrees Sagittarius back to 14 degrees Sag (Aug. 11, when Uranus then retrogrades). Where are these degrees (14 – 24 degrees Sag) in everyone’s chart? Everyone needs their own astrology chart. Without it, we “see only see life through a glass darkly.”

When planets are retrograde, humanity enters

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 No longer just a burning ground of desire and aspiration, your true calling comes forth. As the world begins to reorient everywhere, your initiating abilities, philosophical beliefs and goals clearly emerge. You are now at a high level of opportunity in terms of doing world work. Begin to see your career in terms of how to help create the new culture and civilization, how to assist humanity so their gifts can come forth. You’re at the doorstep, the periphery of the Ashram.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 So often you stepped into the shadows, didn’t want to speak up and out, thought others would do a better job.

This gave you the needed preparation, strength and stamina, developed your awareness and abilities. Now staying behind the scenes is no longer appropriate. You step into the limelight and begin to communicate, teach, lead, facilitate, make the transition from dark room to lighted world. You give hope to humanity. Your words are the “waters of life” for them.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 So much of your life has been about observing the needs of others, stepping into the greater world of serving others.

This has been good. However, there comes a time when your focus must shift from others to self—to develop new tools of self-observation. That time is now. For further development, you need new studies, new people, new information. You’re ready to answer a further call from the Soul.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Over and over, you will review plans, agendas, regimes, and rituals in your daily life. And over and over, these will change in terms of work, health, people, and all environments you interact in. Old concepts shift to new concepts; discoveries break the mold of how you’ve worked and your thoughts on health. You’ll seek new environments that allow for accelerated activities in areas, people, places, and things your heart desires.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Creativity, opportunity, options. What do these mean to you, in what areas of life? Gates will open for you, You’ve had to make adjustments, living on hope. New realities dawn, a new sense of self-expression, too. And a new philosophy takes you on a new journey far away. Be sure to have sturdy shoes.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 All that’s important to you, all that formed your

foundational beliefs, will be revised. This is part of growing up. You took a path into the new world long ago.

You learned new understandings, eliminated restrictions to your true identity. Now you revise your values, assume a greater sense of self-assurance, knowing this brave new world will always support you and that every life dimension has its own truth. You love more.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You will find the need to speak the truth in many situations. Usually you stand aside, and allow others to be the voice of society. However, this is changing.

You become the voice of reason, allowing no false information to pass you by. You’re very aware of the impact of untruthfulness. You practice “ahimsa” (doing no harm). Your work becomes a response to world events. Destiny has arrived. It’s within your heart, written in the stars. You are the truth, and it sets you free.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Sag is always philosophically minded. Recently you’ve become security minded, wondering, as you age, how to prepare and build a strong system of resources for later times. It feels like providence has arrived. You sense this and bring forth purpose, energy and passion to whatever you believe in. And so, the question is what do you believe in? What is most important to you now? The answers when contemplated are interesting and surprising.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You’ve stepped into power, a most interesting situation.

Authority figures, not understanding the energy of relationship in astrology, may feel you’re challenging them, which you’re not. However, your very presence challenges previous beliefs of others and those in authority. You bring revolutionary change wherever you are. What is this? A call to leadership requiring you to display your ability to lead with willingness, intelligence and love.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 As personal and outer world events continue to change, you learn to move easily within those changes. This helps you understand the requirements of the new world coming forth. Only your inner self can understand the truth of all matters, understand Right Direction and Right Attitude and how to shine a bright new light of hope for others to see. Your life situation calls forth your humanitarian endeavors. You will understand more later.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It’s a time of healing for all of humanity, but especially for Pisces, Virgo’s opposite sign. Tend to all health matters for all parts of the body, inner and outer. Find a functional doctor or one who understands alternative methods of testing and healing. After tending to your health, new opportunities will present themselves.

New decisions will be made. A new change of focus will appear with new endeavors. Much of this year is a time of healing and preparing for what’s to come. For now, though, health and healing are most important.

Who you’ve been will no longer be who you are. What you’ve been asked to be is no longer who you can be.

All the responsibilities you’ve assumed for so long will begin to chafe, annoy and irritate you. You will gradually want more things in the world, less of a sense of duty, so your gifts and talents can come forth. The larger world, beyond family, needs you. Do not limit yourself in what you feel you can do. Appreciate your diligence, your orderliness. Celebrate all that you have done.

a state of inward focus, assessment and review.

The sign and house the retrograde moves through determine what area of life is affected for each of us. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, we assess our goals and the power we have to achieve those goals. We learn how to direct thought power, love and wisdom into our world. Jupiter in Sagittarius creates the “one-pointed, mentally focused Disciple.” Wisdom becomes practical. We review our aspirations, our intellectual growth, our horizons, and what inspires us. Jupiter is beneficent, good, always kind. Jupiter offers us optimism, is broad-minded, happy, philosophical, charitable, generous, and welcoming. Jupiter helps us cultivate the goodness of our Soul.
