the guardian editorial

The Mirkarimi case The legal case against Sheriff Ross Mirkarmi has been essentially settled, with the sheriff pleading guilty to false imprisonment and avoiding a trial on domestic violence charges. But his job — and career — may still be in peril. Already, there are calls for Mirkarimi to step down. And Mayor Ed Lee announced March 12 that he’s Mirkarimi’s plea to “a very serious charge that had introduce a new set of legal issues” merits a thorough review. That could lead to an explosive scenario where the Board of Supervisors, in an election year, would have to vote on whether to remove a sheriff who many of the supervisors have worked with and supported over allegations that are in effect political poison. Mirkarimi’s friends and allies say the sheriff didn’t want to plead guilty to anything. But the questionnaires that potential jurors had filled out showed that virtually everyone who might sit in judgment had read the sensational media coverage of the case, and Judge Garrett Wong had refused to move the trial elsewhere. The judge also rejected every significant motion Mirkarimi’s attorney, Lidia Stiglich, made, and allowed into evidence material that the editorials

news

sheriff’s team didn’t think should be admissible. So the situation looked bleak, and Mirkarimi took a deal. Mirkarimi maintains his innocence, and says he has no intention of stepping down. He agreed to plead guilty to a crime that had very little to do with what happened New Year’s Eve, when the District Attorney’s Office said he got into a physical altercation with his wife that left her with a bruise on her arm. False imprisonment was never one of the original charges; as is often the case in criminal cases, both sides accepted a less-serious charge in the name of getting the deal done. Why Mayor Lee sees that as “a new set of legal issues” is baffling; the issues are exactly the same as they were before the plea bargain. None of this is to say that the original charges, backed up by well-publicized (although never fully examined in court) evidence, aren’t serious. Domestic violence, as we’ve said repeatedly, is not a private matter, is not a minor crime, and has far too often been ignored by the courts, police, and prosecutors, sometimes with deadly consequences. But the way this could play out will open Lee to charges of political opportunism. The mayor would need to charge Mirkarimi with “offi-

cial misconduct,” which is defined in the City Charter: “Official misconduct means any wrongful behavior by a public officer in relation to the duties of his or her office, willful in its character, including any failure, refusal or neglect of an officer to perform any duty enjoined on him or her by law, or conduct that falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers and including any violation of a specific conflict of interest or governmental ethics law.” Other than the “standard of decency” statute, which is pretty vague, there’s not much in there for Lee to go on. Unless you say that because Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to a crime with “imprisonment” in the name he’s somehow a threat to the inmates at the county jail, which is a huge stretch, it’s hard to call this “official misconduct.” (There is, on the other hand, the argument that Mirkarimi will be on probation, and thus part of the criminal justice system he oversees, and that it’s an inherent conflict of interest. That, however, would mean any sheriff who was on probation for anything would be ineligible to serve, which again is a stretch.) If the mayor files official misconduct charges, and the Ethics Commission, by a supermajormusic listings

stage listings

ity, agrees, then the Board of Supervisors would serve in effect as a trial body, much as the U.S. Senate does in an impeachment case. Nine of the 11 supervisors would have to vote to permanently remove the sheriff from office. If Lee takes that path, he’ll be setting in motion a political process that was designed in the Charter for highly unusual situations and has only been used once in the past 40 years. (And in that case, involving Airport Commission member Joe Mazzola, a court later ruled that the charges, involving his role in plumbers’ strike, didn’t rise to the standard of official misconduct.) You have to ask: Is this case, and this misdemeanor charge, worthy of the exercise of what is, by any standard, an extraordinary power vested in the city’s chief executive? Is it worth the political circus that would result from a trial by the supervisors (some of whom might well be asked to recuse themselves because of their prior relationships with Mirkarimi, making it almost impossible to reach the magic number of nine anyway)? If the voters of San Francisco think the sheriff needs to go, there’s the right of recall — and it will be available the first week in July, when Mirkarimi will have served six months. If there’s not enough organized opposition to make that happen, he’ll be facing the electorate again in three years (and trust us, he will be opposed and every detail of these charges will be part of the campaign). He’s going to pay for this far beyond his court-ordered probation and fine. Whatever the plea deal, Mirkarimi was clearly involved in a bad conflict with his wife that turned physical. Unless the evidence we’ve seen so far is completely misleading, it’s clear that he left her with a bruise — and that he was at the very least nasty and more likely emotionally abusive to her. Now that the legal case is over, he needs to come clean and tell the public exactly what happened that day, at which point we can all decide if we believe him, if he’s shown that he’s changed, and if the public is willing to give him a chance at redemption. But Lee should think very seriously before he escalates this by filing misconduct charges. Since the ones who have the most to lose from that are the progressives on the board who are often Lee’s foes, it will have the stench of political maneuvering — and at this point, nobody needs that. The mayor says he’s a unifier; this would be the most divisive thing he could do. 2

Oakland Police Department’s internal communications about the Occupy Oakland movement — which the Guardian obtained through the California Public Records Act — confirm what many protesters already know: plainclothes officers frequent meetings, police monitor Occupy Oakland’s online communications, anarchists are feared, and police use of force that injures protesters, often brutally, is common practice. The documents include meeting notes and activity logs from Oct. 25, when officers from Oakland and nearby cities infamously tried to dismantle the tents in front of City Hall. In a confrontation lasting more than 24 hours, officers deployed tear gas, rubber bullets, flash bang grenades and pepper bombs, injuring dozens, including Scott Olsen, a 24year-old veteran who had served two tours in Iraq. Logs from Nov. 2-3 — during Oakland’s general strike, first port shutdown, and occupation of the Travelers Aid Society building — also detail the use of tear gas and other “less than lethal” weaponry and injuries. In total, the reports on arrests and use of force, as well as complaints filed with the OPD, spanning from Oct. 25, 2011 to Feb. 11, 2012, paint the picture of an agency engaged in something akin to urban warfare against a feared enemy. “Surveillance teams will consist of undercover officers supervised by a sergeant. They will operate from elevated positions or walk within the crowd and report threat information to the MFF commander via the surveillance team leader,” read an Oct. editorials

24 operations memo. Throughout the day on Oct. 25, officers make note of constantly checking Occupy Oakland’s website, Facebook, Twitter, and Livestream to anticipate protesters actions. On Nov. 3, officers discuss changing the radio frequency that they were using for communication after protesters discovered it and began livestreaming the channel. Officers also seem wary of the power of social networking to influence their strategies. Deputy Chief Eric Breshears suggests that the “port is isolated” so police should simply “surround [protesters] and start negotiating.” But the strategy is rejected with this response: “None are truly isolated. Twitter.” OPD has come under fire in the past for the actions of undercover cops. In 2003, undercover officers admitted to leading an anti-war march during a Port blockade protest. Police ended up blasting the crowd with tear gas and rubber bullets, as well as attacking with wooden pallets and motorcycles; 50 were injured. Officers sometimes make judgments based on class or political beliefs. In an Oct. 24 briefing, a plainclothes officer, having strolled through the encampment, reports that “the group is diverse, made up of persons including self-proclaimed anarchists, labor unions, long term homeless individuals, special cause supporters and others.” Oakland police also noted the presence of Occupy SF protesters and groups including California Nurses United. “We just got info that the San Francisco group is coming here in support of the Oakland folks,” Deputy Chief Jeff Israel reported on Oct. 25. On Nov. 3, he recorded protesters “at

Wells Fargo in SF now, 150-300 people. Recruiting Occupy Oakland and Occupy SF.” At another meeting three hours later, Israel reports to a meeting that “Occupy SF is sending support. Might be here already.” But Oakland cops were less impressed by their San Francisco counterparts. OPD Chief Howard Johnson reportedly said: “SFPD is mad. They wanted to come play with us. Had 19 people. Had them protect our PAB [Police Administration Building]. Problem is, they don’t have gas masks. Couldn’t get close to the action.”

Use of force Oakland Police have been under fire from critics and targeted with lawsuits by the National Lawyers Guild and ACLU for excessive use of force. The OPD’s self-reported Incident Statistics, as well as complaints from protesters and Oakland residents, help quantify the problem. The OPD reports 176 uses of police force at Occupy Oakland events, which include Oct. 25, Nov. 2-3, Nov. 14, Nov. 19, Jan. 7, Jan. 14, and Feb. 11. For Jan. 28, a day on which OPD made 408 arrests at an Occupy Oakland protest, UOF statistics are still “to be determined.” The document describes several types of UOF. On Oct. 25, these included baton (26 uses), chemical agent (21 total uses), non-striking use of baton (19 times), control hold (five), four uses of “weaponless defense technique” and five uses of “weaponless defense technique to vulnerable area.” In four reported instances, police “attempted impact weapon strike but missed.” On Nov. 2-3, police report 49 total uses of force. These include 15 baton uses, two chemical agent music listings

stage listings

for more analysis of the opd documents go to sfbg.com/politics deployments, six uses of “weaponless defense control hold” and eight uses of “weaponless defense technique” with one falling into the category of “to vulnerable area.” OPD also reports one “Intentional strike to head with impact weapon,” and one “strike to head—other than an intentional strike to head with impact weapon.” On Nov. 14, the second clearing out of the encampment at Frank Ogawa Plaza that resulted in 33 arrests, the OPD reported that force was used against only one subject. The subject in question was treated with one “takedown-leg sweep” and three uses of “weaponless defense technique applied to a vulnerable area.” On Nov. 19, Occupy Oakland engaged in a one-night occupation of a park at 19th and Telegraph, with no arrests for illegal activities but six baton strikes against protesters. The documents also show that, since Oct. 25, the OPD has received 1,053 complaints for its Occupy crackdowns. These relate to 76 separate cases, some of which received a great deal of complaints. For example, there are 554 registered complaints about the Oct. 25 raid for “various issues, i.e. use of force, tear gas, rubber bullets, and first amendment rights violations.” Some of the documents describing complaints have been censored; a complaint made by 113 people concerning Oct. 25 has been blacked out, likely due to “ongoing investigation.” Most of the complaints concern police violence, with residents alleging that they were struck with batons, kneed, and knocked to the ground. Some were brutal. A complaint from Oct. 25 alleges that “Officers found a person alone, beat him, and broke his knee.” Another complainant “alleged that he was not resisting when he was arrested and OPD officers ‘pool cued’ him in the ribs ten times with a baton, kneeled on his back and head, and used ‘joint locks’ on him.” A complaint from a Jan. 7 march states that “alleged OPD officer pulled a female from her bike causing her to fall and hit her head on the ground.” Another Jan. 7 complaint: “alleged OPD officer kneed [complainant] in the back causing his spine to break.” There are 88 complaints alleging officer misconduct from the infamous Jan. 28 “move-in day” protest. On that day, several complainants were allegedly struck in the head and face with batons. The Guardian will continue to analyze OPD documents as they become available to us. 2

HERBWISE I remember the first time I saw photographer Robyn Twomey’s work — talk about simpatico. It was a huge print of a photo of an elderly woman sitting in front of a piano and a mirror with an immense Persian cat, lighting a joint firmly held between her lips. I’d never seen anything like it — documented in a gallery, that is. In some version of my future life, I’d like to make a nest inside Twomey’s photographer bag and travel the country with her. Not that she’d need my services. Her shots speak loudly, from her descriptive portraits of T.I., Bill Gates, Rosie O’Donnell, and Attorney General Kamala Harris to her equally dignified series on penitentiary residents. Small wonder that the smoke-filled photos of Harborside Health Center’s women patients (originally shot for a Fortune Magazine feature) are part of the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts’ new group exhibition “Solo Esas Mujeres�, which opens Sat/17. The show assembles the work of 14 female artists in an effort to reaffirm feminine power through its documentation. So of all the females that Twomey’s captured throughout her career, why use the shots of these cannabis smokers for this particular exhibition? Perhaps these females — all of whom use the stuff for real serious medical conditions — have the most need of documentation. Easy access to medical marijuana is important, oh federal government of ours. Hey Robyn, any chance of getting Harris out to the Mission for the opening reception? I can help host.

lUncH laUncHeS By Virginia Miller virginia@sfbg.com aPPeTiTe Lunch-hour quality advances around town with a slew of notable openings or recently launched lunch menus. In a two part series (stay tuned for next week’s installment), here are some of the best new mid-day meals.

nOMBe Nombe faced a bit of a struggle recovering from uber-talented chef Nick Balla’s departure to Bar Tartine. The Mission izakaya now boasts of new executive chef Noriyuki Sugie, who has cooked in NY, Chicago, France, Sydney and the like. With Sugie’s cooking, Nombe proves to be as much a gem as it ever was. An excellent sake list and caring service set it apart, but wait till you try Sugie’s ramen (thankfully just added to the dinner menu in addition to lunch). There’s a lot of great ramen out there, but I tend to be one of the unconverted who registers ramen’s comfort factor but can often find the taste bland. I realize once I finally fulfill my dream of traveling to Japan, I may change my mind, particularly if ramen tastes like Sugie’s. Order: Ramen noodles are house made, subtly chewy, with accompanying meat. While I enjoy options like oxtail, my favorite is a heaping bowl of beef cheek ramen ($13). The tender meat is savory and robust... and, oh, the broth! No blandness here — it’s layered with flavor. Scallions, mushrooms, umami foam, and soy-marinated egg add extra dimension. If not ordering sake, try the matcha ice milk or lavender oolong ice tea ($4 each) to drink. 2491 Mission, SF. (415) 681-7150) www.nombesf.com

903 Laid-back Bernal Heights claims one of the best new lunch spots in town. 903 just opened weeks ago from owners of nearby Sandbox Bakery. As with Sandbox, Asian influences enliven American food. The former Maggie Mudd’s space was dim and unmemorable, but they’ve transformed it with soothing colors, flowers, a communal table, and bench dotted with pillows. There are bento boxes of chicken tsukune or miso salmon, while the bulk of the daytime-only menu is sandwiches and a few breakfast items. Order: Crispy shrimp balls in a challah hot dog bun ($8.50) may not jump off the menu, but juicy shrimp lightly fried in three crispy balls in a bun are delightful, particularly with garlic aioli, Sriracha, and sweet and sour plum sauce. The one vegetarian sandwich is no afterthought. Baked tofu ($7.50) has more texture and flavor than is typical on a “burger bun� made entirely of rice (which is also available with the Japanese karaage fried chicken sandwich). Pickled carrots, soy tahini, baby greens, and a layer of nori complete the sandwich. 903 Cortland, SF.

SWeeT WOODrUFF The TenderNob has a new destination cafĂŠ in Sweet Woodruff, the casual second space opened by owners of upscale Sons and Daughters. With an open kitchen, high ceilings, muted gray-blue walls, and stools lining rustic wood counter tops, the place feels completely San Francisco, with expected gourmet elevation of sandwiches and casual dishes. Takeout is ideal for nearby workers, but giant, corner windows make it a welcome place downtown to linger. music listings

Order: Pheasant hot pocket ($7) is the most playful of early offerings. A flaky phyllo pastry stuffed with peas, carrots, and, of course, pheasant is warm and comforting. Cream of parsley root soup ($6) nurtures, set apart with green garlic, pine nuts and a welcome tinge of sweetness from golden raisins. A suckling pig sandwich ($9.50) is appropriately tender, contrasted by pickles, though with ghost pepper aioli I expected serious heat (not so). For dessert, a peanut and sweet soy tart ($4). 798 Sutter, SF. (415) 292-9090, www.sweetwoodruffsf.com

SOUTHie While I enjoyed Rockridge’s Wood Tavern from the first time I visited years ago, I didn’t exactly rush out after hearing about its sandwich offshoot last year on the same block, Southie. Do we really need another pork sandwich spot in the Bay? But I was pleasantly surprised to find Southie’s sandwiches among the better I’ve had all year. Wine on tap makes lingering at high tables in the narrow space a pleasant lunch respite. Order: A Dungeness crab roll ($18) trumps most crab sandwiches. On a buttery brioche, it explodes with succulent crab meat. Celery root remoulade and Meyer lemon brown butter elevate it to near perfection. An expensive sandwich to be sure, but there was no skimping on the crab. “Spicy Hog� ($10) is the popular pulled pork sandwich on an Acme roll. Again, it seems everyone is doing a Southern-influenced pork sandwich these days, but Southie’s is strong, loaded with coleslaw, pickled jalapeno, and lime aioli. 6311 College Ave., Oakl.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Look smart le.chicken.farmer@gmail.com CHEAP EATS Hedgehog’s in the tub, watching one preseason baseball game on her cell and listening to another on her laptop. Which is nothing. By the end of the season last season she was streaming four games at a time, screaming at umpires in her sleep, and requesting hot dogs for breakfast. This year, I don’t know what she’s going to do about the buns. I do know (because she told me) that Jason Varitek has retired, Omar’s still ticking, with Toronto, and Cespedes went to Oakland. Not to mention Manny Ramirez. I sure hope he succeeds here. Seriously, there is no one in the tainted world of Major League Baseball I would like to see redeem himself more than Manny Ramirez. ‘Cause I have his rookie card, yes, but also ‘cause I like the A’s now that Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill work for them. Moneyball didn’t win any Oscars, did it? Damn. You know, this was the first year in my life that I actually watched the damn show. And cared. Mostly about Brett McKenzie, but also, thanks to my baseball and movie lovin’ lover, I saw all eight of the best picture nominees this year — up from my previous record of “part of one.� Speaking of gluten, we were at 21st Amendment and someone was buying us beer but Hedgehog couldn’t drink it, so I had to. Extending which logic to and through the impending baseball season, I see me eating a lot of hot dog buns. The beer, at least, was good. Of course, being a brewery, 21st Amendment brews its own. So there was that. We had managed, miraculously, to find a place to sit in the balcony. There was a party on — friends of Hedgehog’s and friends of theirs. Meaning, with all due respect: geek geek geek geek geek. At one point I risked losing my seat in order to go order us some food. I had to wedge and hammer my way through throngs of people standing in circles and all looking at their smart phones instead of each other. Or me. “Excuse me,� I kept saying. And they kept not hearing me or seeing me. editorials

food + Drink

Nothing inspires human cluelessness quite like a smart phone. Since I got mine, for example, I have forgotten how to get anywhere by car or read a book. Nevertheless, food is a basic human need, as is a path to the bar. So I folded up a few of these diligent researchers, tucked them under my arm, and carried them down the stairs, across the restaurant proper, and to the curb — and I don’t even think they noticed! While I was down there, I tried to place our order with a waitress, but she said if I was sitting upstairs I had to order my order at the bar up there. The bartender at the bar up there — he’s my new hero. So cool. I guess all bartenders are cool, but this cat, entrenched in his tiny half-circle domain, was completely swamped by drink and food orders, bejangled by reaching arms and credit cards, and — as far as I could tell — never lost a bead of sweat over any of it. So here’s to him, whoever the hell he was and hopefully still is. Against incredible odds, my new favorite bartender maintained complete control of every single person’s order, and special requests, and change, and where they were sitting if they were lucky enough to have a seat. Like me. I would have hated to have had to eat my burger standing up. It was a big and juicy one with grilled onions and jack cheese on the best bun ever. Sorry, Hedgehog. I’m sure the chicken tacos without the tacos were pretty good too, but really, the burger was outstanding. With a salad. You can get fries or homemade kettle chips, too. First Giants game we go to this season, I’m a make us stop at 21st Amendment before or after for a do-over of that burger. What am I saying??? First Giants game we don’t go to, that’s the time for 21st Amendment. Middle of the fourth ...

The Knux released its second fulllength album, Eraser, last September and seem to play shows as frequently as humanly possible.

This friendly San Francisco-based quintet delivers twangy bluegrass bliss with its signature woodwind accents. Heavily influenced by jam giants like the Grateful Dead, Phish, and Béla Fleck, Hot Buttered Rum’s music is light, fun, and compositionally lush. Although HBR has developed a jammy, improvisational style and reputation over the years, the group focused more on songwriting while making its latest album, Limbs Akimbo. Band member Erik Yates (banjos, guitars, woodwinds, and vocals) has described the album as “deeper” and more reflective of struggle than its previous work, which explored utopian themes like backpacking, first love, and materialism. Did I mention most of these men were reared in Northern California? (Sullivan)

Hot Buttered Rum members), excellent local HIV oral history doc We Were Here (which should have won the Oscar), and recent fetishization of early 1990s gay party music in the clubs (which ... don’t ask) have opened a fascinating wormhole into the recent — and recently unspeakable — past. The invaluable unearthing of contemporary gay history continues: we’ve moved from the Milkeolithic into the HIVoscene. The GLBT History Museum’s new exhibition “Life and Death in Black and White” will help dig even deeper, bringing important and inspiring ACT-UP and other protest photographs by Jane Philomen Cleland, Patrick Clifton, Marc Geller, Rick Gerharter, and Daniel Nicoletta to light.

Willie Nelson “Outlaw” is a term that tends to be thrown around a little bit too liberally these days, particularly when it comes to discussing musicians — but one man that undoubtedly deserves that title is Willie Nelson, whose five-decade and counting career as a singer, songwriter, poet, author, and social activist has been forged entirely on his own terms. Known for his own recording hits, his partnerships with people such as Johnny Cash, his slew of songwriting successes (notably the classic tune “Crazy,” as made famous by Patsy Cline), the 78-year-old icon continues to prove that he is a musical and social force to be reckoned with.

Pirates Press: A User’s Guide

MUSIC In today’s modern music world, when iTunes and MP3s have dominated the mainstream market, and digital distribution is now the norm, a lot of vinyl aficionados wax nostalgic about the thrill of buying a new record, pulling out the disc, checking out the gatefold art, reading the liner notes, and enjoying a multifaceted musical experience. Although vinyl records obviously never really went away, the quality of releases declined steadily over the years as consumer demand waned and the number of manufacturers around the world dwindled. But that void has been filled by — among other indie labels — local imprint Pirates Press Records. The independent manufacturer and record label has been reissuing Cock Sparrer’s older records; it also released a live LP/DVD, Back In SF, recorded in 2009 at the Pirates Press fifth anniversary party at Great American Music Hall. Eric Mueller, 31, started Pirates Press in 2004 out of a love for vinyl, after he grew disillusioned with the way he saw another manufacturer he was working for treating their clients and employees.

Cock Sparrer is mates first The chummiest punk band you’ve never heard of celebrates 40 years By Sean McCourt arts@sfbg.com MUSIC While it may not be a household name in the mainstream music world, Cock Sparrer has been one of the most beloved and influential bands in punk rock for four decades and counting. Hailing from the East End of London, childhood friends Colin McFaull, Mick Beaufoy, Steve Burgess and Steve Bruce — who all remain members of the group today, along with Daryl Smith, who joined in 1992 — formed the band in 1972. I first encountered Cock Sparrer blasting out of a stereo at a friend’s house in high school during the mid-1990s, and became an immediate fan of its powerful, sing-along anthems propelled by simple, yet infectiously catchy and memorable melodies and hooks. This is all with lyrics that — while written about growing up working class in England — anybody who grew up in a similar environment could relate to regardless of geography. A few years after I was bitten by the Sparrer bug, it was announced that the band would be coming to the United States to play a few shows, something it had never done before. One of those gigs in 2000 was at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, so I made the trek up the coast from Santa Cruz with a 18 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

big group of friends, and we were not disappointed — it was an amazing experience, a huge singalong that felt more like a giant party than paid concert. Two return shows in 2009 in the city delivered the same adrenaline and endorphin rush, as did the one I flew to Las Vegas for last year. Local fans can rejoice again, as Cock Sparrer will be gracing us with its presence at two special 40th anniversary shows at the Warfield, co-headlining with Rancid, which will be marking its 20th year. “We wanted to celebrate our 40th birthday with some special shows and when the opportunity came up to return to San Francisco, we jumped at the chance,” singer Colin McFaull told me from his home in England. “The city holds a special place in the history of Cock Sparrer and we love playing there.” McFaull points to the fact that band was born out of a group of friends, and that they all remain close, as one of the main reasons that Cock Sparrer has managed to survive for so long, and outlast many of its punk contemporaries. “We’ve always maintained that we are mates first and band second. We tend to do things at our pace and on our terms. Someone once described us as ‘the biggest little band you’ve never heard of’ and we like that.” editorials

news

Forty years ago, when the group first got together, this frame of mind was in place — it informed the naming of the band. “We wanted to have a name that was synonymous with where we came from — it’s just an old East London term of affection and means ‘friend.’ ” Despite the fact that Cock Sparrer has influenced generations of streetpunk and Oi bands, and the group plays to sold-out crowds when it does venture out to perform live, all the band members still have regular jobs back at home in England — which McFaull says he is perfectly fine with. “It would be possible to earn more from the band but that’s not really what we’re about — we’ve never taken ourselves too seriously, there are no egos in Cock Sparrer, we wouldn’t allow it. We don’t believe in putting on rock star airs and graces.” “We’re the sort of band that you’ll find in the bar of the venues we play chatting to fans and on the odd occasion even buying the beers.” 2 Cock Sparrer With Rancid and Factory Minds March 23-24, 8 p.m., $30 (March 23 sold out) Warfield 982 Market, SF www.thewarfieldtheatre.com

“I decided to take my business and hard work and put it elsewhere, and did it with people who were of like-minded motivations,” says Mueller in his office in Potrero Hill, surrounded by an array of records and posters that Pirates Press made. He added, “We’re all super big vinyl nerds — it’s fun to make records, and we enjoy collecting the products that we make.” That mindset, that a record doesn’t have to simply be a medium by which one listens to music, is palpable when browsing through the company’s releases. Brightly colored vinyl, picture discs, and even specially-shaped records — designed locally, and manufactured at a special pressing plant in the Czech Republic — display the label’s rich artistry and imaginative outlook on the industry. “We’ve developed a lot of new products and technologies — we have proprietary software and hardware that allows us to cut records in a completely unique way from every other manufacturer,” says Mueller. Another example of the company’s innovation is its current focus on flexis — thin, flexible discs that were popular inserts in magazines and other publications in the past, but have mostly ceased to be made. Thanks to three years worth of work by Pirate Matt Jones, 29, advances in materials and manufacturing have helped Pirates Press make flexis that sound far superior to those of the past — the company is even starting to make paper postcards with grooves that play music. The label, which pressed nearly 1.75 million records last year, has certainly grown since it began as a bedroom operation, but the initial goals remain the same: try to make the process as easy as possible for all involved — something Mueller proudly stands behind. Mueller is also proud of the artists that Pirates Press Records is releasing: punk icons such as Cock Sparrer along with up-and-coming local bands. “It’s like ‘punk rock Robin Hood’ in a sense,” Mueller says. “I can make money pressing records for everybody under the sun, big label, small label — and turn around and take some of our profits and reinvest them into music that everybody in the office stands behind.” (Sean McCourt) 2 www.piratespress.com music listings

BEyond thE Glitz At GdC GAMER There are only so many times we can celebrate the world’s top-selling entertainment industry before it starts to feel self-congratulatory. The Game Developer’s Conference, held at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, marks the beginning of a year packed with conferences and expos that run well into September, each aimed at announcing new games and boasting new technologies. In kicking off the year’s lineup, the GDC hopes to lead by example, putting the industry’s stars and its someday-somebodies first. Many attendees are young students who approach the developerrun panels like they would courses at a university. They take notes, they ask questions, they check their Facebook incessantly, and look generally eager to learn. The vibes are good, as amateurs meet their idols in hopes of soaking up life experience from big names. This year, Heavy Rain director David Cage reiterated his vision of a gamescape populated by digital actors with a tech demo preview called “Kara” for a motion capture technology his company is working on. Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson arrived to near-universal adoration; his runaway indie success has made the developer famous, but it is his willingness to share his ideas (and wealth) with other devs that resonates with fans, and encouraged an enormous number of fedora hats in his honor. In rare Nintendo news, Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida gave a presentation in his editorials

native Japanese that seemed to shed light on the company’s approach to most of their first-party-developed titles: come up with novel ideas first and build games around them. Hayashida’s presentation could have been called “ENJOY EVERYTHING HAVE FUN” but it also touched a personal note when the director revealed how the 3DS game was a comfort to him and other Japanese players following last year’s earthquake. In a complete 180 to Nintendo’s uplifting session, Hayashida was followed by a speech by Keiji Inafune addressing the future of Japanese games. A few years back, Inafune drew fire for stating that the struggling Japanese game industry was “done.” Inafune didn’t retract his controversial statement but admitted he meant it to “light a fire” under Japanese developers who continue to rely on aging franchises, and he rallied for more experimentation from his countrymen. GDC’s own awards show, the Choice Awards, offer a muchappreciated antithesis to the flashy Spike TV awards, which has the unfortunate advantage of airing in December rather than March. Nominations come directly from fellow industry types, and function as a sort of peer-review for the winning game studios. Cementing its universal acclaim, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim took top Choice Awards honors, and upcoming XBLA game Fez won big during the co-presentation of the Independent Games Festival.

in June, the big consoles are encouraged to go light on big reveals and marketing campaigns during GDC. So, a week earlier Microsoft hosted an “unrelated” Spring Showcase just up the street to show off their spate of, largely, Xbox Live Arcade games. And Halo 4. XBLA games were there to prove Microsoft’s commitment to supporting the platform, as well as its Kinect motion technology, but for mainstream gamers it seemed Microsoft figured people would be satisfied with gameplay from Halo 4 — and they were probably right. Otherwise, demos were scarcer than last year. Lollipop Chainsaw, a new zombie-action title from maverick Japanese developer Suda 51 (No More Heroes), attempted to drum up attention for their summer release date announcement by throwing a zombie-themed party in the claustrophobic 111 Minna Gallery, and EA’s joint shooter event showed off Battlefield 3 DLC and the newlyannounced Medal of Honor sequel Warfighter. Nothing so newsworthy as the hundreds of little red balloons that THQ unleashed on the city in 2011 to promote Homeland. Glitz and glamour is fun to read about, and brings visibility to a conference that celebrates growth, but the most interesting and lasting moments of GDC 2012 won’t be reported in a newspaper or blog. Young developers were inspired, and, for the rest of us, the demos in hotel rooms and swanky nightclub parties are secondary to the certainty that it’s useful to learn how games are made, and healthy to think about the people making them.

She’s critical, yet positive; accomplished, yet humble. She’s also somewhat of a Zen goddess (although she’d probably dislike that tag). The lasting impression of her visit to Hope Cottage, a retreat tucked into the pastoral hills of the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in Marin County, will bring Anderson to the 142 Throckmorton Theater this week for a conversation with San Francisco Zen Center’s senior dharma teacher, Tenshin Reb Anderson. The event directly benefits the restoration of Hope Cottage — a Bay Area refuge that has recently fallen into fiscally prohibitive disrepair.

GUARDIAN DEALS ON THE FLY @ FORKFLY. COM

San Francisco Bay Guardian What drew you to the Hope Cottage restoration project? laurie anderson Hope Cottage itself. It’s such a beautiful place. I went there with my dog, and it was sort of an experiment to see if I could learn to communicate with her better. I heard dogs could understand 500 words, and I thought, ‘I wonder if I go to an isolated place and spend a lot of time with her, we can learn to talk?’ It was a lot of fun. SFBG How did Buddhism become an important part of your life? la I first started doing meditation in the ‘70s, and it was just a way to train my mind to not be so crazy. I realized a lot of painful experiences are stored in the body in a coded and interesting way and that when you meditate, you can find those places. I found that really fascinating and helpful. SFBG Do you have any advice for people interested in getting into Buddhism? I’ve tried to meditate, but I can’t sit still for long enough. la It’s very difficult to do. Then you realize if you try and break it down into smaller pieces, it becomes a little bit more possible. We live in a culture that’s so obsessively dedicated to getting stuff done. The last time I was out at dinner, I realized, we were all reading our emails! I said, ‘Read [your] last two emails. Let’s see what we’re spending this time doing.’ We did, and they were idiotic. I thought, ‘Whoa, this is what I’m giving up human contact for?’ You have to be really careful about that stuff. It can eat you alive. SFBG What have you been up to artistically? la Right now, I’m interested in painting — something I hadn’t done in a very long time. I started just making a lot of music and films. One of the reasons I came back to [painting] is because of scale. It’s really fun to work with physical things that don’t necessarily fit on your computer screen because we pretty much live in a world of screens, and you think, ‘If I’ve seen it there, I really understand it.’ And that’s not true in the world of painting. SFBG What made you transition from fine art to performance art in the first place?

la I like stories, so I was trying to record things and put them into talking sculpture boxes or something, and I thought, ‘Wait a second. Why don’t I just say them?’ One of the great things about the so-called multimedia artist is that you can do a lot of different kinds of things and no one can say, ‘You’re a painter, you shouldn’t be writing a novel!’ So, it gives you a little more freedom to stay out of your box because, you know, artists just get put into boxes and are supposed to stay in them. SFBG It seems like you’ve completely transcended that. la Well, I don’t know that I have because it’s difficult to move from one thing to another. You can try, but here come the art police saying, ‘Stop doing that! Why are you painting? You’re a filmmaker! Where’s your sense of propriety?’ You’d think when you live the life of an artist, you live the life of freedom, but it’s not quite like that. SFBG So, what projects do you have in the works? la I’m working on a book of stories, an exhibition of paintings, a new show — a bunch of different things. It’s fun to work on them all at once. SFBG And you recently performed a show in Taiwan? How was that? la I can’t say I speak Mandarin at all, but I found it really exciting to work with a translator. You know, English is such a complicated language that you can write one thing and it means five things, so when it’s translated into another language, particularly Mandarin, you have to choose which one of those things you really want to have emphasized. Spending this last week in Taiwan, I realized how completely different their culture is from ours. But, if you can make a joke in Mandarin and people laugh, then it is sort of one world, you know? 2 an evening with laurie anderson and tenshin rob anderson Benefiting Green Gulch Farm’s Hope Cottage Thurs/15, 7 p.m., $50 142 Throckmorton Theater, Mill Valley 50years.sfzc.org

Balanchine premiered Union Jack; Twyla Tharp turned ballet inside out with Baryshnikov in Push Comes to Shove; the Philip GlassRobert Wilson-Lucinda Childs team had a monster hit with Einstein at the Beach (side note: Berkeley’s Cal Performances presents it in October); and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company was invited to the prestigious Avignon Festival for the first time. At the Performing Garage, Manhattan’s dumpiest theater in not-yet-chic SoHo, two small, skinny, New York-based Japanese dancers — just back from Europe where they had soaked up what had remained of German Expressionism — premiered White Dance. They were Eiko and Koma. An excerpt from that early work will close their two-week residency at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. editorials

Eiko and Koma have changed dance the way few others have. They have redefined theatrical time and space, the body as an instrument, and concepts surrounding expressivity. With but a few exceptions, they have always created on themselves. One man, one woman — and the universe. Most remarkably, to this day they have no imitators. They are truly unique. While they sometimes paint their bodies white and have learned from Butoh’s glacial sense of time — they were early, though for a short time only, students of Butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata — their works have none of that art’s existential emptiness; neither its twist of anarchy and despair, nor its dark sense of humor. Eiko and Koma see themselves connected to something larger than ourselves. They call their pieces Tree, Breath, River, Echo, Land, Wind. Their latest work is Naked. David Harrington, founder and first violinist of the Kronos Quartet, has known the duo for close to 20 years. Speaking from Toronto, where the musicians are picks

cafedunord .com on tour, he describes what these dancers do as “traveling through time, memory, and experience to find something that, perhaps, we didn’t know existed.” Watching Naked, he says, “I totally understood nakedness and the reason for it. There was something so honest and revealing and personal, and it was dangerous as well. They are about my age, and there they were offering themselves to the universe in such an incredible way. My feeling at the moment was that all of us, no matter how old we get, were very, very young. The flesh takes on different forms of age, but still we almost become like babies. Age no long had any meaning because I thought they were communicating with the universe in this incredible way.” Drawing on this experience encouraged Harrington to commit to the four-hour Fragile, a collaborative installation between Kronos and Eiko and Koma this coming weekend. Harrington remembers that the duo had told him of three events that had formed their creativity and outlook: the dropping of the atomic bomb that happened before their birth; the 1967-68 student riots in Tokyo in which they participated, and the recent tsunami. So he composed Fragile’s score from documentary material and music from Kronos’ repertoire plus — a first for Kronos — by Richard Wagner. The following weekend’s Regeneration will offer Raven, Night Tide, and an excerpt from White Dance. At pre-performance event March 24, kindred spirit Shinichi Iova-Koga of inkBoat will interview the two artists about their working method and other topics. “What I remember about their work is the images,” Iova-Koga explains. (He has seen their three local performances.) “Besides any particular beauty, these images were long enough to burn themselves into my memory. Years and years later I can still recall them. Part of Eiko and Koma’s power comes from all of this time of making pieces on a one-on-one relationship: two bodies relating to each other.” 2

south oF the Border: niCK oFFerman and Will Ferrell in CASA DE MI PADRE. | Photo by John EstEs

Where there’s a Will the comedian tries something old (nudity!) and something new (spanish dialogue) in Casa de mi Padre

By KimBerly Chun arts@sfbg.com Film You gotta love a guy who is willing to poke fun at his man handles. But the consistency with which Will Ferrell is willing to drop trou has had even Terry Gross wondering, what’s with the vast expanses of exposed carne asada, dude? Ferrell’s new Casa de mi Padre — a Spanish-language jab at telenovelas, spaghetti-burrito westerns, and just plain low-budget moviemaking, circa the early 1970s — is no exception. It, er, climaxes with a sweet, sweet love scene, complete with close-ups on rumps. “Well, that was always in the script — that was literally written in the stage direction: lots of butts. Way too many butts. And that made me laugh, if that was going to be our big crescendo lovemaking scene,” Ferrell says gamely. “Of course, lit beautifully with soft lenses and elegant tracking shots and dissolves.” Tanned, gold-tressed, and outfitted in a gingham shirt and khakis, the actor resembles the tall, wellgroomed human incarnation of a Steiff teddy bear. He also comes off as one of the nicest every-guy movie stars around — the kind that justifies the response you get when you tell someone you’re interviewing Will Ferrell (inevitably: “Omigod, I love him!”) Maybe that appeal has to do with a willingness to embrace 24 SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

the painfully awkward. Anything to heighten the comedy of the moment, he explains, but also, “I think we’re so body- and imageconscious in this culture, and there’s so much emphasis on staying in shape, looking good, plastic surgery, this, that, and the other, that it’s just kind of my protest against all of that. It’s just, that’s what real bodies look like, and if mine happens to look funny, then that’s good, too.” The latest challenge in a long line of actorly exercises and comic gestures — from his legendary stint on Saturday Night Live and his Funny or Die videos, to his long list of comedies probing the last gasps of American masculinity, and such serious forays as Stranger Than Fiction (2006) — is Casa de mi Padre. Here Ferrell tackles an almost entirely Spanish script (with only meager high school and college language courses under his belt) alongside Mexican superstars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna and telenovela veteran Genesis Rodriguez. The entire project, directed by Matt Piedmont and written by Andrew Steele, sprang from Farrell’s noggin. “I had this idea for the longest time, just from watching telenovelas,” he recounts. “It’s one of those things where you’re cruising around the dial, and you stop, and you watch it for four or five minutes, and it’s like, my god. It’s way over the top, but it was so music listings

funny to put myself in that world. I’ve never seen that before and I thought, wow, it would be a unique opportunity to take someone from American comedy and have them commit to speaking Spanish. That could be a cool movie.” So Ferrell worked with Patrick Pérez, who translated the script from English to Spanish, before the shoot and then during the production, driving to and from the set every day, going over lines and working on pronunciation. “It was a little bit crazy — a lot crazy,” Ferrell confesses. “But it was so much fun. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a more fun yet stressful experience.” All of which led to almost zero improvisation on the actor’s part; plenty of meta, Machete-like spoofs; and a new twist in the world of Ferrell’s films, which seem to all share a glee at poking holes in American masculinity. Yes, Casa punctures padre-informed transmissions of Latin machismo, but it equally ridicules the idea of a gringo actor riding in and superimposing himself, badly or otherwise, over another country’s culture. “That theme of the macho Americans, ‘USA! We’re number one!’ has been so fascinating and such a great thing to make fun of. That we think we’re the best,” Ferrell observes. “I’ve always been fascinated with that level of ego.” 2 CASA DE MI PADRE opens Fri/16 in Bay Area theaters.

PaMalot 5IF EJWJOF .T (SJFS JT DPNJOH UP UIF $BTUSP By Cheryl eddy cheryl@sfbg.com FIlM Say the name “Pam Grier� and certain things come to mind: the iconic poster for her 1973 breakout, Coffy, about a nurse turned vigilante (“the baddest one-chick hit squad that ever hit town!�); or her cool-asice, career-reviving turn in 1997’s Jackie Brown. What you don’t think of, probably, is blaxploitation’s most gorgeous badass puttering around on a Colorado farm. Make no mistake, Grier is a badass (onscreen and off), but this was the first thing she said, over the phone, after a breathless greeting: “I was just stacking some hay!� With that image lodged in my brain, I chatted with Grier about her upcoming event in San Francisco with Peaches Christ. SFBG The Castro is screening films that span your career: Coffy and Jackie Brown. Did you realize, at the time, that Coffy would have such an impact? Pam Grier I knew that Coffy was representing the women’s liberation movement. But it was also representing my mother — as we were all trying to survive the Jim Crow era, she was the nurse in our community — and my grandfather, who was the first feminist in my life. He required the girls to learn as much as the boys, and to be self-sufficient. He said, “Men will respect you when you can do something.� And I brought that to film. It was about literally giving women across the world a voice. I didn’t invent it — I just happened to be the one who could show it onscreen. I think women [realized] “Yes! We’ve always had that freedom. Why haven’t we utilized it?� It was a real revolutionary movement. SFBG What was it like working with director Jack Hill? PG He was great. He and Roger [Corman] were very much into authenticity, and they wanted their actors to be as raw as possible. It was great that they didn’t want to overly polish me and cover me in blue eyeshadow. editorials

SFBG You first encountered Jackie Brown director Quentin Tarantino when he was casting 1994’s Pulp Fiction. What was that initial meeting like? PG I walked into his office and all of my posters were on his wall. Very impressive. I said, “Did you put them up because I was coming?� He said, “No, I was gonna take them down, so I didn’t seem like a stalker!� He is so enamored with film — how could you not respect someone with such a great appreciation of cinema and art? I remember I was watching Reservoir Dogs in New York City, and the characters talked about “Pam Grier, that badass chick.� My friends around me started screaming and pointing at me! I said, “He gave me an homage! Amazing!� You never know when you’ll impress other people by just being yourself. SFBG Aside from being a film star — with roles in multiple upcoming films, including the RZA’s directorial debut, The Man With the Iron Fists — you are also a huge film fan as well. PG I love the cinema, and I have respect for all films whether I like them or not. I love good storytelling. [My career is] always an adventure. It’s always interesting. I’m never bored! 2 “Pam Grier is live and in-Person!� Sat/17, 8 p.m., $10-$55 Castro Theatre 429 Castro, SF www.peacheschrist.com
