DAN WITZ - WHAT THE FUCK
For this summer’s street art project Dan Witz is installing Dark Doings imagery on highway interchanges, in heavily trafficked bottleneck locations. The idea is that each day, thousands of people stuck in traffic, captive in their cars, roll by my pieces at 2 miles an hour. Almost to a person, the immediate reaction to the pieces seems to be, “WHAT THE FUCK?”, so I’m calling the series, WHAT THE %$#@? (WTF)"...

TARP SURFING IS BACK!!!
mission mission
Fierce competition on the streets these days. Grab a tarp and catch some waves DUDE!!!
GOSTOSA - THIS THURSDAY (SF)
Brazil is the only other country, along with the USA, to consume more of their own domestic music than foreign imports and you're still trying to figure out how to do the Lambada? Guillermo and The Ambassador go muito fundo with their selections of the sexiest, sweatiest, funkiest and psychiest Brasilian music, all on wax, every month at Casanova in the Mission SF. Dope visuals from way south of the border served up at no additional charge.
GOSTOSA = “Hot” or if you want a more prosaic answer, read this.
For each monthly party, we're gonna feature a different Artista Brasileira (Brazilian artist of the musical variety) on our flier, eventually culminating in a calendar. It'll be way classier and collectible than a Snap-On Tools cheesecake/soft-porn affair - we're talking only the best of the best from classic Brazilian album covers, back covers, wherever we can find images that cry out "Gostosa".
For our first month, we have the lovely and criminally underrated Astrud Gilberto. She may have started her career on a fluke: she just happened to be in the recording studio with her then-husband Joao Gilberto during the recording of the classic Getz/Gilberto album and at Creed Taylor's suggesting she sang the English version of "The Girl from Ipanema" lyrics because Joao refused, but she has proven herself to be a classy interpreter of Brazilian and American/Anglo pop songs as well. Her first solo album is a real treat with both Jobim and Donato providing arrangements and she was also responsible for being the first to release many classic Brazilian songs in the US.
GUILLERMO AND THE AMBASSADOR = GOSTOSA MIX
THIS WEATHER SUCK'S
I really hate Summers in SF. Here in Nor Cal we get Indian Summers which typically starts late August all the way to December. I haven't seen the sun literally in 2 months minus my trip to San Jose last weekend. This Really is depressing.
WAX POETICSTHE R&B ISSUE - COMING SOON
R&B Issue (#42) is almost here, and this time we’ve got features on legendary figures like Barry White, Gil Scott-Heron, D’Angelo, and Erykah Badu.
CANT WAIT FOR THIS!

SENIOR SASIG
S.F. native Evan Kidera, 27, launched the truck with high school buddy Gil Payumo, 29, a CCA graduate currently cooking at the Marriott. Senor Sisig is a couple of years in the making, says Kidera, who ― like a lot of aspiring truck vendors ― caught fire from L.A.'s Kogi. "I thought, This was amazing, but I didn't really want to do Korean tacos," says Kidera, who's Japanese American. "I thought, What else can I do?" The answer: Filipino.
Kidera enlisted Payumo, who is Filipino. They acquired a second-hand taco truck at the beginning of the year (gotta love Craigslist), replaced the vending windows, had it painted and decaled. Unlike Hapa SF, which does contemporary versions of Filipino dishes, Senor Sisig skews street food: tacos, burritos, nachos, and rice plates, all starring sisig. Well, some heavily adapted version of sisig, a dish traditionally made of fried-up boiled bits from a pig's head.
Besides pork sisig, Kidera and Payumo plan to offer chicken sisig, beef sisig, fish sisig (made from bangus), even tofu sisig. They'll fry up lumpia too, and plans call for adobo, eventually, as well as silogs, breakfast plates.
Kidera's currently trying to work out a deal with lounges in the city that'll let him park Senor Sisig out front, even as he's researching Peninsula lunch spots. He's talking with Off the Grid organizer Matt Cohen, too, about appearing at Cohen's Friday night street-food events.

PINOY DISHES
The Filipino grill house Tribu in San Bruno makes really tasty authentic pork sisig that has the right balance of salt, fat, sizzle, and crunch. Aside from pig face parts, popular versions of sisig use chicken and fish. Tselogs, a hole in the wall in Daly City known for its "silog" plates ― meat dishes served with übergarlicky fried rice and fried egg ― serves insanely inexpensive but incredibly tasty sizzling chicken sisig.

OUT AND ABOUT
Here are a few snaps from the past couple of weeks. Great times over at Beauty Bar for Life/Style Party 2 weeks ago. The crowd was nice when I jumped on, I started off with some New Boogie and eventually went into Disco Punk/Dance Rock. Thanks to my good friends TS & Roll for being great host.
Also many thanks to The Selecter Kirk for hosting the World Cup final. As always great food including home made Tomato soup, home made bean dip, dim sum, sausage rolls etc. We feasted like it was Super Bowl Sunday, only it was Sunday - World Cup. GREAT game by the way.
Oh yeah almost forgot, after the world cup we stumbled to Lazlo for post drinks where I caught "The Urban Aztec Warrior" in the Mission. Random
PEVEN EVERETT
Quality!!! Peven Everett follows up proper on his 2009 Sophomore album "Party Of The Year". P.E. has released a few singles = Including the 2008 smasher "Feeling You" which was also overlooked.
You can purchase this album where good music is SOLD!

I KNOW U WANNA DO IT - WE CAN MAKE SANDWHICHES
Yesss, They made a music video.
I know you wanna do it
You know I wanna do it too
Out here on the dance floor

I know you wanna do it
We can make sandwiches
So make your thighs like butter, easy to spread
And we can make sandwiches
Out here on the dance floor
Come on we can do it
We can make sandwiches
repeat 5 times...
SAME ALOE - OLD SOUND
While every one's going crazy over the "I Need a Dollar" single the B side "Take Me Back" is for far superior in my eyes. Been down with this talented brother since the days of Emanon. Big up to you and all your success. I look forward to this album...

LETS GO DIGGING WITH GILLES IN HAVANA SHALL WE
Check out this video of Gilles Peterson as he digs for records in Havana, Cuba. Finding a “gold mine” of records ranging from jazz, disco, electronic, and spiritual, Gilles gives viewers an inside look on his various finds that day.
To years ago, Gilles visited Cuba for the first time on a reconnaissance mission to check out the new generation of Havana-based artists. The fruits of his labor culminated in the album he presented, Havana Cultura, which was recently released but now his Brownswood Recordings imprint is preparing the release of Havana Cultura Remixed, out on June 7th, enlisting remixes …
