Apr 22, 2014 by Matt Crawford
tyga-san-jose-civic

Finally, the hip-hop pendulum is swinging back to the West Coast. After roughly a decade of Southern rappers dominating the charts, the rise of Kendrick Lamar and a handful of other rappers in LA, and the burgeoning success of the Bay Area’s own Iamsu and Sage the Gemini, are creating momentum that… » Read More

Thou Brings Louisiana Sludge Metal to San Jose

Apr 15, 2014 by Aaron Carnes
MUSIC BOX MSV 1416 Thou

With slow, chugging riffs, growling vocals and a penchant for large concept albums, Louisiana sludge metal band Thou have, by their very nature, always discouraged mainstream attention. However, lead singer Bryan Funck thinks Thou’s latest album, Heathen, is their most accessible to date. Granted, the songs are longer, slower and centered on… » Read More

Movies

On My Way

Apr 22, 2014 - by Richard Von Busack

If there's such a thing as a French heimat movie-like the German genre that seeks that nation's heartland—Emmanuelle Bercot's On My Way (Elle S'en va) is it. The star is Catherine Deneuve, but her half-century career in films isn't treated as stuffy material to be honored. It's a playful, loose film with no queening allowed. Deneuve is a prime center for such an examination of France. She once had a government job modeling for the French Republic's Marianne emblem, which is as if the U.S. State Department had hired Bruce Willis to pose as a bald eagle. » Read More

Transcendence

Apr 17, 2014 - by Richard Von Busack

Pretty damned bad. Another example of 2014 CG used to animate 1974's science fiction ideas. After an overlong TED-talk lecture about the importance of AI, Lawrence Livermore scientist Will Caster (a colorless Johnny Depp) is shot with a poisoned bullet by anti-technology terrorists. With the help of Evelyn (Rebecca Hall), his "partner in life and work" as she describes herself, Caster is uploaded first into a program, and then into the Internet. » Read More

The Art/Life Forum Comes to the Mexican Heritage Plaza

Apr 16, 2014 - by Jennifer Wadsworth

When Demone Carter broadened his job description from rapper to rapper/youth arts mentor a decade ago, he was struck by the alarming lack of multicultural leadership in the nonprofit world. A few years later, a study confirmed that observation: fewer than 10 percent of nonprofits are led by people of color. The statistics look worse for boards of directors. » Read More

Silicon Valley Contemporary

Apr 9, 2014 - by Heather Zimmerman

On a list of places best known for play-Aspen, the Hamptons, Palm Springs-Silicon Valley stands out as a region proud of its renown for work. The Hamptons Expo Group, which holds art fairs in all of the aforementioned spots, as well as in Houston, zeroed in on Silicon Valley as the next logical spot for such an event, because the monetary rewards of all of that work have created an area filled with potential art collectors. » Read More

Poetic Exchange: Dublin & San Jose

Apr 23, 2014 - by Gary Singh

Once a year, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ireland, a UNESCO City of Literature, shows up in downtown San Jose, along with an entourage of colleagues. This time around, he informed yours truly about a Dublin initiative, "One City, One Book," that unfolds every April, when the entire city is encouraged to read the same book over the course of one month. The book is either written by a Dublin author or connected to Dublin in some way. » Read More

Is Social Media Ruining the Lives of Young Women

Apr 16, 2014 - by Sady Doyle

Every few months or so, I take a moment to pause and reflect on one of the few things in my life that causes me profound and unshakable gratitude. Thank God, or whatever benevolent force there may be in this universe, I think to myself, that Twitter did not exist when I was in high school. Of course, this introspection isn't without cause. Every few months, there seems to arise a new chunk of evidence—or at least a new wave of think pieces—about how the Internet is ruining the lives of young women. » Read More
