Johnny V’s over at downtown is a place for anyone interested in gaining real life experience for anyone looking to drop 8 bars on their open Mics. Open Mics are rare to come by here in San Jose. It’s even rarer for groups’ reactions right then and there that show both positive and negative reactions. At the moment, places like BJs are targeting “Sports Bar” themes, Clubhouse is hiring live DJs, but Johnny V is the place to see local talent or even if you’ve ever consider the thought of going on America’s Got Talent. Right now, The Usual’s, are the one who should be considered top dog for giving local talent the chance for live performances, MACLA use to hold it down until the whole underage drinking sort of shut the place down. Whatever shit happens, but Johnny V is the place for the “Older” crowd who knows how to order a Gin & Tonic wants to go. If sipping Beers on the sidewalk isn’t really your thing, show some love over at Johnny V where you can play some Street...

Late night writing in San Jose isn’t fond of what everyone expects. Sometimes a person is deserving of special merits for her efforts of originality in the fight of equality. Listening to some Anya, someone shared a link to this bad beast in the city streets. She’s got multiple works out, which deserves some recognition for what she’s been doing. The spirit of hip-hop culture is modernized soul music which derived from the blues which that was summon from the ashes of music sung by the men that worked just to sleep. It’s a sad life to live when the general population doesn’t have any understanding of what goes on inside your head. Every one of my girlfriends was bi-sexual, so being in the population wasn’t new to me. What was new to me was just how hard she spit the inside of her emotions to be recorded for future generations of trapped souls to know that they are not alone. While the videos on YouTube of people saying they are not alone are cute, she goes about making a ca...

Fresh out, Rey Ressureccion “HIGH” is breathing filtered lyrics that have me remembering San Jose when I was 10. Right now times are coming around with lyrics being spoken from truth and heart. Very smooth editing with sweet sickness from 80’s Film Baby. San Jose is making its mark right now as the true grinders coming out from the darkness San Jose was in for the past 10 years. Everyone should remember that we are the branches from the ones who survived out here in California. Everyone should be feeling high and EAT!!! This vide is “High” off the album Old Rust New Band 2 Rey's Facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/ReyResMusic?ref=ts&sk=wall 80sbabiesJaypee's Youtube:  http://www.youtube.com/user/80sbabiesjaypee/videos

" The Absence Of Love" by Magiic Gils  Why has the world forgotten about love? Love is true happiness granted by the Lord above. Love is what life is all about and I say that without a second doubt. Love is hope and hope is out, now man will suffer a large amount. The absence of love caused evil to sprout, now all over Earth the evil will shout. The best thing about love to me, is that love is absolutely FREE! Love is worth more than what money can feed. Love is what this beautiful planet will need, to fulfill our hearts with honesty and peace, to nurture all of our wonderful seeds. So they grow up happy, their love will succeed. Spreading the love is the greatest of deeds. Look what happened to Earth when love started to leave. The absence of love caused Mother Earth to grieve. Love has turned to lust, lust has turned to greed, greed of the man caused Mother Earth to bleed. Greed has caused the death of the ocean and trees. Now it's getting harder and harder to br...

  Randy Diaz. If I were to have been living during the time of Vincent Van Gogh, would I have known? What makes art? How does the mind control the hand to create something beautiful on paper?  I haven’t the answer to any of these questions.  There happens to be an artist that I believe can answer these questions with pen in hand. Just looking at his work you see the resemblance of a truly gifted person. Something about growing up in ESSJ seems to hold the recipe for constructive creativity. Without question this is true art. Along with a small Elite class of San Jose artist, they march along the fields on a war torn country in search of meaning through any types of expressive medium. These soldiers face the challenges of everyday living to embark in the fight for bringing art to San Jose.  Randy, tell your cousin to keep up the tattoo work, Jimmy that we need him back, Ivan to say, “What’s Up?” Dirtbag Dan and John Beaver thank you for giving me the oppor...

Living in San Jose lately has deprecated the value of “true” photography. With modern technology and so many blogs about people blabbering about pictures being Photoshop, there happens to be a genuine photographer living in San Jose who once told me, “What you see if what you get.” Shayne Herrera, has this inner person that craves for knowledge outside of corporate walls, his experience and portfolio carries the added weight on merits alone.  A man whose purpose is to walk the earth in search of what is happening on the surface inside the grit and grime of civilized society, reveals what is really happening in our city while those who stay trapped inside their protected prisons sit and lay. His photograph’s capture reality at its pinnacle point in time, taking the time to show the real justice of American living and not just some cheesy, written, soap opera fakeness that is custom to what we see on an everyday basis. Thank you for seeking truth in this beautiful corrupted...

"MONEY IS EVIL" by Magic Gil.   http://www.facebook.com/MAGiC408 MONEY IS THE EVILEST THING OF ALL! IT CAUSES US TO HATE. IT CAUSES US TO FALL. MONEY CAN CAUSE US TO KILL, MONEY CAN CAUSE US TO STEAL, MONEY CAUSES THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND I'M JUST BEING REAL! MONEY IS GREED, MONEY IS LUST, MONEY IS LOSS OF LOVE, MONEY IS LOSS OF TRUST. MONEY CAUSES ENVY FROM DAWN UNTIL DUSK. MONEY CAN TURN A VIRGIN INTO A SLUT! MONEY FUNDS A CHURCH OF DESPICABLE MUTTS, THINKING LIKE DOGS SNIFFING FOR BUTT! MONEY CAUSES WARS, MONEY CAUSES WHORES, MONEY CAUSES DEATH OF THE OCEAN AND SHORES. MONEY IS THE CONTROLLER OF MAN, THE WICKEDEST MEN CONTROL ALL THE LAND. MONEY WILL FULFILL EVIL'S PLAN, TO SLAUGHTER THE NATIVES AND RULE ALL THE SAND. MONEY GAVE THE SOLDIER A GUN AND THE RULE. TO SHOOT PALESTINIANS WALKING TO SCHOOL. MONEY IS MEAN, MONEY IS CRUEL, MONEY CAUSES AFRICAN GENOCIDE OVER A JEWEL. MONEY WILL CHANGE A HUMAN INTO A TOOL. MONEY CAUSED THE WAR IN VI...

True expressive creativity is a blessing. Within one’s own time to bless the beauty of life being formed, beauty has taken an ever consistent evolution in the aesthetic form of art. Structured, discipline, and dedication is the path of any true artist, in any type of medium. For years the local art community in San Jose has been following those 3 guidelines, here is an artist that is traveling on his journey of his own creative freedom in an ever blending of modern and traditional heritage life style. Magic Gils, brings a rich blend of Aztec influence and late 80s early 90s color blocking into each of his pieces. His pieces are unique and are emerging with powerful profiles in every painting. Within each work is stated to educate on the struggles of getting to this point in American civilization. There are powerful interpretations with colorful symbolism. From what I can say, “This is the reality of indigenous culture that cannot be taught for it is infused within the DNA of our living...
