Making a Splash: The Aquadolls are living a charmed life

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:16 GMT

Making a Splash: L.A. treasures the Aquadolls are a glorious mass of contradictions. A walking dichotomy, covered in glass and glitter. On one hand, perhaps the most overt and obvious hand, they’re a joyful exercise in melodic pop-rock, kitted out in sparkles and mermaid tails. But life has a habit of reminding us that it’s not all sunshine, puppy dogs and rainbows, and the Aquadolls encapsulate that majestically. Their counter, the yin to the happy yang, is their ability to capture life’s angst with oft-caustic but never hopeless lyrics. And of course, they can ferociously hammer their instruments between more delicate moments.Singer and guitarist Melissa Brooks started the band a decade ago with an entirely different lineup, chopping and changing until she eventually linked up with bassist Keilah Nina and drummer Jacqueline Proctor in 2018. The band’s third album, Charmed, will be released this summer and it’s this trio’s first together. New single “Sneaky” is, literally, a sneak ...

‘Rich, white anti-housing men’: ACLU calls censure of Los Gatos commissioner for using “divisive” language unconstitutional

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:16 GMT

Los Gatos Town Council’s censure of a planning commissioner for using “divisive” language caught the attention of First Amendment advocates who say the council’s disciplinary process violated the commissioner’s constitutional rights and was “plain and simple, illegal.”The Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union wrote a letter to the town council March 1, urging them to revoke Commissioner Kylie Clark’s censure — a formal disapproval of her comments which she was given after calling out the “rich, white anti-housing men” in Los Gatos.“That’s just pure and utter censorship. They’re saying, ‘We don’t like this speech, and that’s why we’re going to discipline it,’ and that’s exactly what you can’t do,” said Shilpi Agarwal, legal director of the ACLU of Northern California.This letter is the first step in what could turn into a lawsuit between the ACLU and the town over Clark’s First Amendment rights. The ACLU argued that the censure was “flagrantly illega...

Bay Area Outdoors: Riding the electric mountain bike revolution

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:16 GMT

At the height of the pandemic, I yearned, like most folks, to get outdoors for some much needed fresh air. I’ve always loved to mountain bike, and I’ve ridden my knobby-tired steed for decades on the dirt trails of Marin County, considered by many the birthplace of mountain biking. But as lockdown claustrophobia set in, I realized that my bike was well-used and in need of an upgrade — a really good upgrade — and my knees were feeling a bit tired and knobby themselves. So I took the plunge and went electric. Then I hit the trails once more — and how.There are many places to ride in Marin, but I tend to gravitate to two spots: scenic, bayside China Camp State Park and the wide-open terrain of the Marin Headlands in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Why here? Besides the obvious — natural beauty, heart-stopping vistas and tempting trails — these local parks allow my new type of ride: an electric, pedal-assist mountain bike or e-MTB, which I think is the best bike ever inv...
