I Miss 12 Galaxies

I was on that weird balcony at Hotel Utah looking down at this okay band Petracovitch the other night, and couldn’t help but fantasize I was on the awesome balcony at 12 Galaxies looking down at some amazing band.

Reread the tirade I wrote when I first learned 12 Galaxies was going under, if you want.

Shitty Kitty and the Phillie Phanatic

So, apparently Shitty Kitty is a self-hating, closeted fuzzy? Prone to violence and date rape? This is troubling.

And it is part of a new Shitty Kitty series called Vamos Gigantes!

Guerilla Solar Panel Installation

This looks unsanctioned, right? But I bet they’re up to something fun.

Late-Night Romance Outside Taqueria Cancun

“Hey, sexy,” he says, “How ’bout me and you go to town on a WET BURRITO together?”

No, I made that up. I love Taqueria Cancun. Look here.

The Best-Dressed Band in the Mission Last Night

Was Dirty Cupcakes. Normally they dress more or less normal, but last night they opted for Sailor Moon chic. Here is frontwoman Lauren’s lower half (I think she said the boots were like $10 at the Halloween store, FYI.):

And here’s drummer Laura getting her collar popped by the band’s personal stylist, Colin:

Bass player Sola looked fab too, but we didn’t get any pictures :(

P.S. Give them a listen. I particularly like “Get Out.”

M.C. Hammer at the Giants Game

They showed him on the big screen and played “2 Legit.” Maybe that’s what demoralized our boys.

'70s-Themed Voter Guide

This week on Necessary Conversation, Beth and Melissa present a handy and humorous voting guide, so you don’t have to think to hard for yourself about how to vote.

They also explain why they don’t ride Muni (smells like jizz, etc.) and crack up a lot:

And there’s this:

Watch it now.

Let's All Go See Airfix Kits Tonight at the Knockout!

I’ve been raving about these guys for years, and yet they’re not on top of the pop charts. Inexplicable.

In any case, Airfix Kits are still pumped to play the Knockout, which is exactly what they’re doing tonight. Let’s go!! In the meantime, let’s listen to “Flex Time” and rock out:

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
