When writing about hardcore punk music, it's best to use the literary tools of simile and metaphor to describe the chaos.

Wine News: Terroir Alert
| Restaurants
ALICE FEIRING is upset about terroir. Or rather its absence. And her new book, The Battle for Wine and Love, or How I Saved the World From Parkerization (2008, Mariner Press; 288 pages; $13.95 paper), is a sassy riff on Feiring’s dismay with winemaking tricks—especially in California, and especially since the dawn of the numerical ranking system popularized by Robert Parker Jr. in the mid-1980s. » Read More
San Jose Music & Nightlife
Music in the Park
| Music
BESIDE THE FACT that people are melting into hot sticky messes on the streets of San Jose, I’m excited because it’s officially summer. And summer means Music in the Park in Plaza de Cesar Chavez in downtown San Jose (sponsored by, among others, Metro). And during an economic slide of epic proportions, a free concert is always a plus. The plaza is within walking distance of my apartment, so I get to avoid the parking snarls that always seem to occur. But once you get there, the people are nice, and there is lots of food, drink and entertainment to be had. » Read More
