He says his store, which has been open since 2008, has grown by 20 percent or more every year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get a lot of people who might have sold all their records and CDs in the year 2000 or whenever they got an iPod, and now after a few iPod crashes or thefts they're looking at it like I need to get my records back, this is crazy!” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to industry tracker Nielsen, vinyl sales shot up by a third this past year – from four and a half million albums to over six million. Now, that's still just a tiny fraction of the U.S. album market – around 2 percent. But Stevenson and other indie retailers say they sell more records than get officially counted, since small shops don't always use Nielsen's system. What's more, records are making it into mainstream culture. Big bands now routinely release new albums on vinyl. And you can pick up a cheap record player at Target. Which, by the way, Stevenson says is just fine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Art is very important, condition is very important, fidelity is very important,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I don't want people to forget that these are meant to be listened to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Life and Art\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The centerpiece of the exhibit is a beautiful sculpture of a bird, crafted from wood and balanced on a stand above a crank, a turntable, and a horn like you'd see on a phonograph. It's by local artist Walter Kitundu. Turn the crank, the record starts, and the bird's wings begin to move up and down. You can speed it up, slow it down, scratch -- whatever you want, just by turning the crank. Curator Rene De Guzman says to think of this piece as a metaphor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A used record is a connector between people,” he says. “You own it for a moment in time, and then it goes to someone else. And you probably scratched it or wore it down a little, so then you collaborate with other people on leaving a mark on the world.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now this may not be an experience you've ever had. One of the things about a resurgence is that it means a lot of people are picking up vinyl for the very first time, which is why there's a little card tucked behind one of the exhibit's working turntables, demonstrating how to use it.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Harris, owner of Oakland's Funky Soul Stop Record Shop, talks about some of his favorite music and why you have to hear it on vinyl:\u003cbr>\n[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/145389862\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Museum staffer Rachael Aguirre talks about vinyl and how she celebrates her nerdiness through music:\u003cbr>\n[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/145396988\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Producer and collector David Katznelson talks about the vinyl crate he curated and dedicated to the Velvet Underground, including the music which inspired them:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/145398265\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.museumca.org/exhibit/vinyl-sound-and-culture-records\" target=\"_blank\">About the exhibit \"Vinyl: The Sound and Culture of Records\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now, his untimely death is sparking proposed legislation in Sacramento. We find out how Lee's death has opened a new political battle over the accuracy of transgender people's death certificates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maya Scott-Chung remembers one of the first times she met Lee. He was strutting down a red carpet at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco. Lee was emceeing the Transgender Film Festival, an event he co-founded in 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He commanded the audience in a shimmery black faux fur coat and sunglasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Christopher was fab-u-lous with a capital F-A-B,” Scott-Chung says. “He always had beautifully shined boots and just an incredible look about him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee made several films about transgender culture, including one about his own life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In “Christopher’s Chronicles,” he explains that he was born female, Kristina. Then in his mid-20s, he started asking his friends to call him Christopher and to refer to him as “he” instead of “she.” The film opens with Lee looking in the bathroom mirror rubbing shaving cream on his chin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was a little kid, I used to have this plastic razor. It was a straight razor. I used to pretend I was shaving every morning, just like my dad,” he says, rinsing his hands in the sink. “I guess this should have been my first idea that I felt a little different than your normal little girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee lived the last two decades of his life as a man. He committed suicide in 2012 when he was 48. His friends were left grieving not just his death, but what happened after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They had explained to the coroner that Lee was transgender. They turned over his driver’s license with his sex indicated with a capital “M.” But when the death certificate came back, Christopher was listed as Kristina. Sex: female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It felt like spitting on his grave,” Scott-Chung says. “When they put RIP on people’s tombstones it’s rest in peace. And I just felt like Christopher’s spirit will not rest in peace with a death certificate that says female.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott-Chung and her husband made their way to the office of California Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, from Lee’s hometown of San Diego. Atkins recently introduced a bill that would establish protocols for filling out death certificates for transgender people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no statutory or regulatory guidance on whether sex should be listed according to the deceased’s gender identity or the anatomy,” Atkins said at a hearing in Sacramento last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She explained that only a fraction of transgender people have sex reassignment surgery. It’s very expensive, and most insurance plans won’t cover it. Some people just don't want it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not uncommon for a transgender person to retain some physical characteristics of the gender assigned to them at birth even though they have transitioned to a new gender identity,” Atkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That can leave coroners in a quandary. Christopher Lee was taking testosterone when he died. The Alameda County medical examiner described the body at the autopsy: A short mustache and beard. A receding hairline consistent with male balding. And, female genitalia. That's why the “F” ended up on the death certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have a lot of leeway in that,” says Lt. Riddic Bowers of the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau. He says a driver’s license is not enough to override anatomy. An updated birth certificate would work, but that requires a court order. And until 2012 getting a court order meant getting surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Barring that, we have to rely on the documentation that exists, someone’s existing birth certificate and their correlating anatomical description,” Bowers says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family opinion is also a factor, and, under current law, next-of-kin has the final word. This is controversial. Many transgender people are estranged from relatives who are uncomfortable with their gender transition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee wasn't in close contact with his family. Maya Scott-Chung says she and her husband were Lee’s chosen family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to see once someone dies who actually lives as family and who is legally recognized as family is often different,” Scott-Chung says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lt. Bowers has to follow the letter of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they’re not blood related, then they’re not family,” he says. “Legally, they just have no say.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atkins bill would change two key things. First, it would require coroners and funeral directors to record a person’s gender identify rather than anatomical sex. Second, if there’s a dispute, a driver’s license or passport would be sufficient legal documentation to trump family opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee's father and sister declined to be interviewed for this story. In the end, they asked Lee's friends to settle the rest of his affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Scott-Chung, that involves more than organizing a memorial and packing up all his clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wore his cowboy boots for a year after he died just trying to come to terms with his death,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her, that involves changing the law. She says she plans on wearing the boots every time she goes to Sacramento to help get this bill passed, and so other transgender people can be honored in death the way she wishes Lee would have been honored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Report’s intern Matt Levin contributed research for this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2014/04/18/male-in-life-female-in-death-the-story-of-christopher-lees-death-certificate/\" target=\"_blank\">Male in Life, Female in Death: The Story of Christopher Lee's Death Certificate\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

A friend since they met at UC San Diego about a decade ago, White has become an essential force on the Southland jazz scene as a bandleader and collaborator with heavyweights like trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos and alto saxophone great Charles McPherson.

The book recounts the trials of the Joad family, who lost their Oklahoma farm and traveled to California at the height of the Depression. It was banned and burned in some cities when it was first published in 1939. But it also won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award, selling nearly half a million copies within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Steinbeck’s hometown of Salinas, tour guide Nancy Montana guides visitors through the author’s boyhood home. “John’s grandparents lived in this house, and John was born in this room,” she says, standing in a wallpapered parlor. In the 1970s, she explains, the two-story Victorian only narrowly avoided becoming a parking lot. Today, it has been restored as a volunteer-run restaurant with a menu that features dishes Steinbeck’s mother might have served 100 years ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Beef stroganoff, chicken piccata, chicken spinach crepes,” Montana says, flipping through a cookbook. “She did a lot with chicken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, the Steinbeck House Restaurant has collected furniture, keepsakes and photographs from the author’s family and friends. In the old guest room, a glass case holds Steinbeck’s high school ring and early printings of his books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141103\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 291px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/SteinbeckDining.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/SteinbeckDining-291x225.jpg\" alt=\"The dining room of the Steinbeck House restaurant, formerly home to three generations of the author's family in Salinas.

The book recounts the trials of the Joad family, who lost their Oklahoma farm and traveled to California at the height of the Depression. It was banned and burned in some cities when it was first published in 1939. But it also won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award, selling nearly half a million copies within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Steinbeck’s hometown of Salinas, tour guide Nancy Montana guides visitors through the author’s boyhood home. “John’s grandparents lived in this house, and John was born in this room,” she says, standing in a wallpapered parlor. In the 1970s, she explains, the two-story Victorian only narrowly avoided becoming a parking lot. Today, it has been restored as a volunteer-run restaurant with a menu that features dishes Steinbeck’s mother might have served 100 years ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Beef stroganoff, chicken piccata, chicken spinach crepes,” Montana says, flipping through a cookbook. “She did a lot with chicken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, the Steinbeck House Restaurant has collected furniture, keepsakes and photographs from the author’s family and friends. In the old guest room, a glass case holds Steinbeck’s high school ring and early printings of his books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141103\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 291px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/SteinbeckDining.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/SteinbeckDining-291x225.jpg\" alt=\"The dining room of the Steinbeck House restaurant, formerly home to three generations of the author's family in Salinas.

"content": "\u003cp>Just in time for the opening of baseball season, there’s a new play at the San Jose Repertory Theatre about what it means to be a fan of the game. “Game On,” opening Wednesday, April 2, also explores Silicon Valley’s startup culture at a time when the subject is sizzling-hot on television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131393\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-131393 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/SJR_GameOn_153_web-e1396471006763.jpg\" alt='Marco Barricelli, Cassidy Brown and Craig Marker in San Jose Rep’s world premiere of \"Game On,\" through April 19.

He’s a medicine ball running on toothpicks,” says one character, describing Pablo Sandoval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re both guys who are attracted to sports for reasons we don’t entirely respect,” Taccone said during a conversation with the co-playwrights last week at San Jose Rep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re avoiding the world. There’s a way to not talk about your feelings by totally immersing yourself in sports. I can’t tell you how many times my wife has come into the room and asked, ‘What are you watching?’ And the answer is ‘I don’t care.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two aren’t really grunting couch potatoes, though.

They’re looking for money at a fundraiser held at a private home in the wealthy Peninsula town of Los Altos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you were going to host a very high-end party for a foundation, that’s one of the places you’d want to do it,” said Rick Lombardo, director of the show and the producing artistic director for San Jose Rep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lombardo is directing the production, and he helped shape the play during the writing process. He said Silicon Valley audiences will see some familiar characters on stage, beset by some familiar foibles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The very interesting hypocrisy of the folks who care a great deal about the world,” Lombardo said, “and are going to give a lot of money for green startups, but who own their own private planes and they put more hydrocarbons into the atmosphere doing that than anything else they do in their lives. But they own a Tesla.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The play opens at a time when the games that entrepreneurs play are a hot entertainment topic. HBO’s “Silicon Valley” debuts this Sunday, following films like “Jobs” and “The Social Network,” all set in that amorphous geographical area where venture capitalists are king.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Game On\" portrays these money men as not very nice people, so it may seem odd that playwrights Hoyle and Taccone had lots of help from a venture capitalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tony and Dan came to me when they were incubating the idea,\" said Roger Strauch, who speaks fluent startup. He’s chairman of The Roda Group, a venture capital firm in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also a big supporter of Berkeley Rep. (The company’s main theater is named The Roda.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taccone said Strauch told the playwrights to not make the VC men too nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Venture capitalists,” he said. “I would like to think many of us are nice people, but we have a job. Our job is to make money on our investments. If we want to be a philanthropist, that’s another thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Strauch and his partner, Dan Miller, are investing these days in startups working to slow the effects of climate change. And he gave the playwrights the idea for a key aspect of the play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I suggested that one of the consequences of global climate change is that we would need new food products.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New food products, Strauch told me, such as insects. An idea that will likely make audiences squirm and laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in spite of their misgivings, Hoyle and Tony Taccone have written a comedy that tackles the very serious issue of global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to make sure this is a play our mothers would be proud of, too.” Hoyle said, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Although,\" Taccone joked, “we can’t bring them because of the amount of swearing in the play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/142889843&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",
