New Model Army Recall Mod Army

The WhoQuadrophenia (Track/MCS)New Model Army Recall Mod Army: New Model Army man Justin Sullivan told us about his love for the Who‘s mod classic.Justin Sullivan: I was nine years old when I first heard the Who’s “My Generation.” My response was to run around the house screaming and doing much air guitar playing and even more air drumming and it planted a kind of “fuck you” punk rock attitude in me forever. From that moment, the Who were always a group that I liked (especially watching Keith Moon on Ready Steady Go) but I didn’t really connect with them in the same way again until Quadrophenia. (Track/MCA)By this time, I was a typically confused seventeen-year-old and the album had everything that I wanted and needed – beauty, violence, mystery, melody, sex, pathos, romance, fury and the sound of the sea. It mixed orchestral splendour with rock chaos. Very few bands that could do the chaos thing quite as well as The Who but to be able to combine that w...

Can San Jose’s mobile home park residents rest easy now?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 07:09:46 GMT

For years, San Jose native Jill Borders bounced between apartments with her husband and young daughter as they found it impossible to buy a single-family home in one of the country’s most expensive housing markets.That nomadic lifestyle changed in 2013 when the family discovered Imperial Estates, a mobile home park in South San Jose that finally brought the stability Borders had been desperately searching for. The couple’s 10-year-old daughter got to pick the paint color in her room. They got a second dog.But in the decade since, there’s been a worry constantly in the back of Borders’ mind: What if a developer just simply purchased the park to build apartments — like what happened to a community near the Winchester Mystery House — leaving her family back where they started?Jill Borders sits in her house at the Imperial Estates Mobile Home Park on Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2023, in San Jose, Calif.

Steph Curry frustrated over mediocre start: ‘I’m sick of talking about it. We just have to do it.’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 07:09:46 GMT

The Warriors arrived in Phoenix with a troubling 10-12 record at a crucial point.A team, a Hall of Fame core, that’s already carved out a distinguished place in NBA history is grappling with its identity. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr are on a mission to prove that they still run this league, but are stumbling too much not to raise questions about their vitality.The motion offense has often looked stale. Players outside of Curry haven’t been able to close a significant scoring gap. Through the first 22 games, the Warriors haven’t dominated any facet of the game. They are what their record is, as Kerr put it, with some faith that all the ways they can succeed on paper will come to fruition.But how many more stumbles until the Warriors call it? The season is only a quarter-way through, but the season may be swirling the toilet if this mediocrity continues through the winter. Curry seems to see the big picture.“Got to figure out how to s...

49ers report card: Purdy, explosive offense help Niners’ injury-depleted defense

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 07:09:46 GMT

Here is how the 49ers (10-3) graded in Sunday’s 28-16 home win over the Seattle Sehawks (6-7):PASS OFFENSE: A-Brock Purdy not only passed for 368 yards and two touchdowns, and he not only mixed in deep shots with smart checkdowns, he also produced his seventh straight game with a 70%-plus completion percentage, which is one shy of Joe Montana’s NFL record in 1989. He’s not taking a victory lap alone, saying: “I’m part of a special group.” That includes Deebo Samuel (seven catches, 149 yards; 54-yard go-ahead touchdown), Brandon Aiyuk (six catches, 126 yards; second-straight 1,000-yard season), and George Kittle (44-yard touchdown). Each of those three had a catch over 40 yards, but Purdy and coach Kyle Shanahan’s favorite strike was a checkdown that Samuel took 30 yards once Purdy went through his progression. The Seahawks sacked Purdy three times and hit him seven as the line adjusted with Jon Feliciano in at right guard for Spencer Burford.RUN OFFENSE: A-McCaffrey sped off 72 yard...

Is America is becoming a country of YIMBYs?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 07:09:46 GMT

By Nathaniel Meyersohn | CNNNew York  — Public support is building for changes to zoning codes and other laws that have dominated American housing policy for decades and restricted new development.A new Pew Charitable Trusts poll shows broad public approval for several policy initiatives that would make it easier to build new housing, especially apartments.The poll comes amid a severe housing shortage, a loose coalition of grassroots YIMBY leaders — short for Yes in My Backyard — and bipartisan housing policy reform efforts from Utah to Vermont.“The results reflect Americans’ broad concern about housing costs,” Pew Charitable Trusts researchers said in a report.The median home sale price in 2022 was $386,300, up 10.2% from 2021 and the highest on record, and housing construction has failed to keep up with demand. The US housing market is short some 6.5 million homes. Rents reached record highs last year, hitting $2,054, according to Redfin.The Pew poll found strong support for polic...
