You coach Little league at Cambrian Park. Of all the roided out, Tapout gear wearing lunkheads who make up the majority of the coaching staffs, you are the WORST. It’s not just because I’ve seen you in the parking lot “pre-gaming” tall cans with the other goons. And you’re not the only jerk who yells at the kids to get them to perform on the field. Other coaches and parents yell at the kids, reducing them to tears in front of everyone and scarring them for life probably. The worst thing is the way you’ve obviously rubbed off on your son. The way he cusses out his teammates and starts racist/ sexits chants from the dugout brings a disgusting grin to your face every time. This, despite the fact that your kid can’t hit and boots grounders all the time. But he gets a “good effort” while the other kids get a public tirade. Ugh. And, yes, I was the one who complained and got you thrown out last week. So glad we don’t have to play you anymore this season.

San Jose native DJ Cutso has traveled the world as part of the internationally respected Bangerz crew—sharing the stage with big-name selectors, including Major Lazer and A-Trak, as well as legendary emcees Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and A Tribe Called Quest. As the co-turntablist on Wild 94.9’s Rebel Pop Radio program, and a part of the local Motown On Mondays crew, SJ MOM Players, he knows a thing or two about how to keep a crowd amped. In addition to requiring quick hands, his job relies upon his ability to know the perfect song to weave into the mix. We asked Cutso to share the top five songs he’ll be working into his sets this summer.
• This summer is your last chance to groove to The Jellies Experience special exhibition before it ends September 7

Chris Hardwick When Susannah Greenwood isn’t working as online content manager—or “social media princess”— for Team San Jose, she enjoys spending her time taking in and writing about local theater, dance and opera. On her blog, artsalot.wordpress.com, Greenwood you can find reviews, general musings, original short stories and poetry, and links to the plays Greenwood has written herself. We asked Greenwood for her professional opinion on what to look forward to on local stages this summer.

TV AND FILM Our expert clinicians in the field of film and television are Sara Vizcarrondo, a Rotten Tomatoes critic and film teacher at De Anza College; and Alejandro Adams, theater manager and local independent filmmaker (Babnik, Around the Bay).
Vizcarrondo I spend much of my day teaching film to college students, but I have recently taken an interest in a younger crowd—her class of preschoolers. Obviously, the hard-drinking, profanity and meaningless sex of Trainwreck isn’t appropriate for babies, tots and elementary school-aged kiddos. So, parents, while you’re out watching Amy Schumer make a hillarious mess of things, here are some films you can feel comfortable leaving with the sitter.

KAHIL GIBRAN’S THE PROPHET The classic collection of 26 prose poetry essays by the the Lebanese artist and philosopher Kahlil Gibran is certainly advanced reading. But it’s never too soon to begin learning about the things that make us human— such as love, sorrow, work, crime and freedom. Prophet is the uncommon animation omnibus with segments by directors as far reaching and highly regarded as Nina Paley (Sita Sings the Blues), Tomm Moore (Song of the Sea, Secret of Kells) and Bill Plympton. Voice actors include Liam Neeson, Salma Hayek-Pinault and John Krasinski, and it’s directed by Roger Allers (The Lion King). Just imagine how it will read on your kids Baby Einstein cover letter: “totally understood Gibran at age 3.”
INSIDE OUT This film make take a fast and loose tack on on the "5 Major Emotion" approach to psychology. And the "midwestern kid moved to San Francisco" plot line has a certain desiccated propriety to it, but there's more than a little charm in a story that crams Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling and Lewis Black (representing anger, if you couldn't guess) in one little girl's head.
LEGO BRICKUMENTARY This begs for expanded release. It's about time the world's most popular educational toy should be investigated—though this is hardly the first documentary made about the Danish building block. What this doc promises is a plethora of adults playing master builder IRL. The potential ingenuity is staggering and promises to inspire a healthy awe for engineering.
Adams As a producer of community TV programming, I spend a lot of my down time on the couch, studying the craft. There’s never been a better time to be a consumer of television. I can pick and choose the programming I want to watch whenever I want. Here are three items I’m excited for this summer.
GRACIE AND FRANK Netflix original productions just hit one of my guilty-pleasure sweet spots with this Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin-starring show, which reunites twothirds of the Nine to Five cast. Who's their target demographic for this? Oh yeah, it's LGBT-themed so, yet again, they can't miss. Ask a pundit why Empire is pulling a record number of eyes back to TV and they'll tell you: “all you gotta do is hit an underserved market.”
COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE You’re Jerry Seinfeld—you can do anything, but you choose to make 15-minute GoPro videos with your celebrity friends, whilst riding around in vintage cars and idling at non-descript diners. What’s the deal with that? The guy could easily be on autopilot making millions on TV. Instead, he’s making something truly groundbreaking and personal. MAD MAX OK… So this isn’t really “TV.” But I do access it through the same portal I use to watch Gracie and Frank, as well as Comedians—my Playstation 4. I anticipate sales of the Mad Max video game will dwarf theatrical attendance. I've seen the trailer for the game and the movie, and the game looks immensely more satisfying. And I say that as a fan of George Miller and the original Max trilogy. I'll be pushing Tom Hardy out of the way so I can drive those cars myself. I can make a better Max movie on my 65-inch Samsung.

ANNO DOMINI A patron of the art gallery contemplates a painting. Andrea Pappas is an art history professor at Santa Clara University. With a doctorate from USC, Pappas has focused special attention on post-Holocaust Jewish art with multiple published reflections on bold abstractionist Mark Rothko. Her cheerier interests include the free love creativity of the ’60s and the intersection of art history and technology. These were her top five choices for art-related activities in Silicon Valley this summer.

IKE STARS and stripes, pickups, potbellies and bacon-wrapped everything, beer has long been regarded as quintessentially American. But before the guilt-tripping Temperance movement drove the entire alcohol industry underground, hard cider was considered the nation’s drink of choice.
“Then, for whatever reason, it dropped off,” says Dan Gordon, co-founder of San Jose-based Gordon Biersch Brewery. “But we’re seeing a huge comeback.” Nationally, alcoholic cider production has outpaced craft beer, tripling from 9.4 million gallons in 2011 to 23 million in 2013, according to the Beer Institute, an industry interest group that represents more than 2,800 breweries. Gordon has yet to christen his contribution to the trend. In the meantime, he’s calling his still-in-development bubbly apple elixir No Name Cider, which is distributed under the aegis of Aurum Cider Company to focus groups and a few brewpubs in a brown bottle with a plain white label. Unlike the syrupy sugar-juice that is Angry Orchard or Mike’s Hardwhatever, No Name has a drier champagne flavor profile. The only ingredient listed on the label: fermented apple juice squeezed from Fujis, granny smiths and red and golden delicious. “We don’t want anything else in there,” Gordon says. “Go to the store, pick up any other brand and you’ll see that they add sulfites, sugar, all these other ingredients you don’t need.” To avoid bacteria-quelling sulfites or any other additive, Gordon flashpasteurizes fresh-pressed apple juice he trucks down in gleaming tankers from the Pacific Northwest. While easy to drink, this nameless cider packs a nice buzz with a 6.2-percent alcohol content. Though Gordon’s pegged September for the official product launch, he’s been building a following on social media by crowdsourcing label design and going back and forth about flavor and packaging design with a group of about 6,000 “inCiders.” “This is the first time we’ve developed a product this way,” he says. “We’re having fun with it.” Until No Name is sold on the shelves under an official moniker, it can be found on tap at The Farmers Union by San Jose’s San Pedro Square, Gordon Biersch South Bay locations, First and Main Sports Lounge in Los Altos and The Old Pro in Palo Alto.—Jennifer Wadsworth To sign up as a No Name Hard Cider “inCider,” go to www.nonamehardcider.com.

REVIEW
OK ‘GOOD’ Ethan Hawke and January Jones are underwhelming in ‘Good Kill.’
Bombs Away BIG E FOR EFFORT for Andrew Niccol’s didactic, sometimes wishy-washy liberal movie about the drone strikes. Made with an important purpose, Good Kill is, at worse, just another exhibit in some future film retrospective, regarding how American feature films tried to cope with the War on Terror and ended up with scripts that were figuratively doubled over like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis. Director Andrew Niccol (Gattica) asks a lot of the right questions, however didactically he phrases them. And his crew saves the day, considering the lack of cooperation from the Air Force. The photographer Amir Mokri makes the desert vistas glow, and he lights Zoe Kravitz better than anyone has before. Production designer Guy Barnes creates a convincing bunker in which drone pilots of the year 2010 carry out their strikes on Central Asia; he contrasts this little room with the sci-fi architecture of the Las Vegas strip, and the home where the hero Major Thomas Egan (Ethan Hawke) lives. It’s a creepy housing tract on the extremity of that city—the traumatized hero zones out over the barbecue, looking straight into moonscape up to all the way to the horizon. One particularly smart move: the casting of Hawke, who tended to be seen as a lowbudget Tom Cruise once upon a time, in
what might well be the later adventures of Maverick from Top Gun. Deskbound, Egan is getting a good case of the shakes from immolating strangers half a world aaway at his push of a button. During his time off, he’s drinking vodka from the bottle and having strife with his wife (January “Miss Good Kill Dissatisfied” Jones). Egan’s embittered Lieutenant R; 102 Min. Colonel is played by Bruce Valleywide Greenwood, the film’s standout. You’d have to be as capable an actor as Greenwood is to transcend the incredibly didactic dialogue that explains military slang (why?) and his deep political feelings (again, why?) The civilian casualties mount once the CIA takes over the strikes, though there is final redemption that comes in the bad old movie way. Good Kill offers up its wishywashy liberalness to the extent of literally positioning Egan at a lunch table between the team’s designated hawk (Jake Abel) and its dove (Kravitz). Kraviz gets the worse of the script: “Should I bother pointing out the non-combatants in the impact zone?” It’s very startling to see Good Kill done, with the caveat that what’s done is being done within the clear limits of what can be said during wartime.—Richard von Busack

SWITCHED ON Atlanta punks Microwave balance pop sensibilities with honesty and pain.
Bringing The Heat THE TERM “POP PUNK” used to be thrown around derisively. It was deployed with a sneer, meant to emphasize that the glistening vocal harmonies and sheen of big-budget production found on early aughts albums from the likes of Good Charlotte and the then-peaking Blink-182 made the music somehow less authentic or earnest. The word “pop” become somehow analogous with “corporate,” and the sheer catchiness of a recording could be held up as evidence that the music found within couldn’t possibly be about anything “real” and certainly couldn’t be “punk.”
Microwave May 23, 7pm, $5 San Jose Rock Shop
Thankfully, those days are gone, and there are bands these days are crafting songs that are both catchy-as-hell and undoubtedly authentic, earnest, and, yes, punk fucking rock. Case in point: Stovall, the 2014 album from Atlanta quartet Microwave. This record absolutely seethes with energy. There are raging guitars, propulsive drums, and lyrics that run the gamut of the emotional spectrum—bounding from quiet confessions, to screeching scorn, to self-flagellation and selfawareness—often all in a matter of seconds. It’s all delivered with a disarming frankness by guitarist and vocalist Nathan Hardy—apropos, considering their Southern heritage and unpretentious culinary tastes: Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pabst Blue Ribbon. This 10-song set, behind which Microwave is currently touring, is also concise—clocking in at just over 41 minutes with only a handful of songs exceeding the 4-minute mark (and none of them ever coming close to dragging). The band will be playing the San Jose Rock Shop this Saturday for the second installment of Sadfest, along with locals The Albert Square, Yulia and Koi.—Nick Veronin

ADVICE GODDESS
By AMY ALKON
AdviceAmy@AOL.com
“Sorry that it’ll be a few days before I can do this to you again.” To have a caring, attentive man, you’ll need to make room for him in your life. You do this the same way you make room for a new TV: by putting the old broken one out on the curb. It’s tempting to keep believing the excuses, which allow you to believe that you’re loved. Unfortunately, believing you’re loved never plays out like actually being loved. The problem is, in the moment, our emotions are our first responder. Reason—that slacker— burrows under the covers, hoping it won’t get called in to work. Overriding wishful thinking-driven gullibility takes planning—having a pre-packed set of standards for how you want to be treated and then pulling them out at excuse o’clock and holding them up to how you’re actually being treated. This is how you end up with a boyfriend who keeps his word. Keeps it and puts it on his phone and texts it to you—as opposed to keeping it in a drawer with slightly used chopsticks, old answering machine tapes, and a Ziploc baggie of his sister’s hamster ashes.
I’m a 31-year-old straight guy. I dress pretty boringly—except for my socks. I go for crazy colors and patterns. My buddy says these make me look “weird” and “less manly.” Come on. Do women really want you to be a carbon copy of every black-sock-wearing dude out there?—Mr. Fun In the sock department, as in other areas, it’s the nuances that count. So, go ahead and make a statement—but maybe one that stops short of “I’m really a Japanese schoolgirl!” Novelty sock wearing for men has actually been a thing in North America for a few years. The really wacky ones may work as what anthropologists and animal behaviorists call a “costly signal.” This is an extravagant or risky trait or behavior that comes with a substantial price—handicapping a person’s or critter’s survival or chances of mating—thus suggesting that it’s a reliable sign of their quality. An example is a peacock with a particularly lush (and heavy) tail. His managing to escape predators while dragging around big feathered hindquarters like a train on a royal wedding dress tells peahens (girl peacocks)
that he must be a real Chuck Norris among big feathery birds. Still, there are costly signals—“I’m man enough”—and too-costly signals: “It’s raining men! Hallelujah!” To figure out where the line lies for you, average all the variables: degree of manliness, girliness of sock choice, occupation (like if you’re a British graphic designer or a guy who goes to work in oversize red shoes), and the eccentricity level of the women you like. But keep in mind that certain socks are risky for any man, such as—and yes, these actually exist— Superman insignia socks, complete with tiny red capes attached. Sure, let your socks tell a woman that you want to take her home with you—but maybe not so you can tear off all your clothes and make her watch as you play with your action figures in your underoos.

I’ve been dating this guy long distance for six months. He’ll often fail to return texts for an entire day or even a few days. I keep breaking up with him, but he keeps apologizing, acknowledging that he can be “distracted” and then offering convincing excuses or making me feel I’m overreacting. This is getting old.—Annoyed Is there some crater somewhere where all his promises go to die? Sometimes there are good reasons your boyfriend can’t return your text for days, like it’s 790 B.C. and there’s a snowstorm and he’s sending his eunuch with the bum knee over the Alps with a set of stone tablets. When there is no good reason, his acknowledging an error, like admitting to being “distracted,” is a first step in mending his ways. That is, except when he shows you—repeatedly—that it’s his only step (perhaps because it’s tricky to text you back when his other, more local girlfriend is sitting right next to him). Getting somebody to respect your boundaries starts with appearing to have them. Sure, sometimes allowances must be made, like for an all-nighter at work or illness. As a friend of mine once wrote: “Sorry I didn’t respond to your email; I was in a coma.” But a man who cares about you generally acts in ways reflecting that—like by dashing off a text to tell you “sleepy - w/write u in am” or “kidnapped. w/be in touch w/ransom demand.” Instead, this guy gives you yet another apology, which basically translates to,
