Talk to Blanke

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:25:00 GMT

Talk to Blanke: Genre-bending producer Blanke started his “DJing journey” in his hometown of Canberra, Australia.“A friend of mine at the time showed me some software that could blend songs together and I just thought that was the coolest thing ever,” he says. “Honestly, I still get such a rush when two songs mix or blend together so seamlessly that they were almost meant to be together! From there, little 17 year old me dived deeper and deeper into mixing, into the club scene, and into EDM generally. I was working in cafes at the time and found a way into the clubs via bartending at the main club in Canberra where I knew I wanted to play. It seemed to be the logical step and it meant that I could harass the lighting guy with mix CD’s every week until they finally put me on the Friday night closing set. Next thing was figuring out how to produce. As a musician my whole life growing up playing Guitar, and being in a family of creatives, it felt like a na...

Main St. For two years, owner Amanda Toh Steckler and executive chef Nora Haron have been working on the buildout, which included gutting the former Prima Ristorante and installing a new roof. The $3 million project was delayed 11 months while they awaited the arrival of an electrical panel that controls the kitchen, heating and ventilation systems.“It’s surreal that we’re finally here,” says Haron, a native of Singapore and Bay Area chef of 15 years at eateries including her popular pandemic pop-up, IndoMex, in Oakland. “I kept promising, ‘I’ll be bac...

Tesla drops Model Y starting price below average US vehicle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:25:00 GMT

By Tom Randall | BloombergTesla is now charging less for the cheapest version of the Model Y SUV than what the typical new vehicle sells for in the US, a threshold Elon Musk crossed in blazing fashion.At $46,990, the base Model Y now costs $759 less than the average amount paid for a car or truck in the US. The differential between these figures has changed by more than $20,000 since the middle of last year.No carmaker has made such a dramatic reduction to a high-volume vehicle in the modern age of the automobile. The Model Y was the best-selling EV in the US last year and one of the top SUVs of any type.While Musk has denied that Tesla is starting a price war, his peers see it differently. Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley, whose Mustang Mach-E SUV lost considerable share to the Model Y last quarter — despite some discounting — said last week that price battles are “breaking out everywhere.” Related ArticlesBusiness | Tesla shareholders complain Elon Musk...

Theater: ‘Something that’s missing’ in Saratoga’s STEM-focused high school

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:25:00 GMT

In Silicon Valley, it’s no surprise that students are interested in science, technology, engineering and math, but a group of Saratoga teachers and parents say theater and the arts should get more attention.Saratoga Theater Arts, a booster club for drama classes and extracurriculars, is working to not only support the existing theater programs and classes but to help grow new ones.“In a place this STEM heavy, kids who are not in STEM don’t necessarily feel like they’re a part of the school,” said club president Angela Brooks. “They don’t feel there’s a place for them at the school, and drama offers that.”The booster club helped create a drama club at Redwood Middle School that meets for the first time this Friday, April 28, to get younger students involved in and exposed to theater.Brooks said students who are interested in playing a musical instrument are able to take a yearlong music class as early as the third grade. The elementary schools stage an annual play after a few weeks o...

BaseballSt. Francis 12, No. 2 Archbishop Mitty 1St. Francis isn’t going to capture the West Catholic Athletic League’s regular-season championship.Its fate was sealed during a prolonged slump that dropped the Mountain View school several spots in the standings and out of the latest Bay Area News Group Top 20.But the Lancers are still dangerous. Still capable of a late-season run. Still a threat to contend when the league and section playoffs roll around.They made that clear Tuesday as Luke DeVine hit a home run in the first inning and a three-run homer in an eight-run fourth, leading St. Francis to a rout of visiting Archbishop Mitty.The outcome punctured a hole in Mitty’s quest for the WCAL’s regular-season title as the Monarchs (18-5, 9-2) will now need help to chase down Valley Christian.Mitty is scheduled to visit Valley to close out the league schedule on May 5.But the championship will be decided before then unless Mitty wins its next two WCAL games ...

Athletics’ roster teardown yet to pay dividends while some of the departed are thriving elsewhere

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:25:00 GMT

It started on March 14, 2022 at the behest of Athletics owner John Fisher. The A’s had been run on a shoestring budget for years, somehow managing to stay relevant in the crumbling Coliseum.The A’s went to the playoffs from 2012 through 2014 under then-general manager Billy Beane and manager Bob Melvin, and again from 2018 through 2020 before contending with an 86-win team in 2021. Beane stepped down to be an advisor to Fisher in November of 2018 and Melvin was allowed to escape on a lifeboat provided by the San Diego Padres as manager.Even the shoestring was about to be clipped.That’s not how current general manager David Forst or manager Mark Kotsay would frame the teardown that was officially underway. They were merely carrying out the wishes of Fisher, who speaks only through the lips of team president Dave Kaval as if he were a ventriloquist.The plan was to strip the payroll bare, dumping all talent which either already made too much money or was due big money...
