Cute.

Here’s the epic full length version of “BoJack’s Theme”:

Ralph plays all those horns — and tonight he’ll be playing a bunch of horns as part of The Tedtones. Here’s the deal:

The TedTones are a group of Bay Area musicians from various genres that have joined together in their common love of jump blues, roots, and jive. For listening, dancing or just plain fun, they are capturing audiences everywhere.

Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, Tin Huey)—reeds & horns; Ted Savarese (Drizzoletto, Octomutt)—guitar & vocal; Randy O’Dell (The Cottontails, GG Amos)—drums; Mike Groh (Hot Club of SF, Gaucho)—guitar; Sam Rocha (Hot Club of SF)—bass.

It’s free and all ages and starts at 8pm.

Do read our own Vic Wong’s epic interview with Ralph Carney, which includes talk of BoJack, Tom Waits, the Shaggs, St. Vincent, and Nic Cage yelling at his kid.

This is Snezana, featured last week on the local fashion blog SF Looks. Here’s what she has to say about her look:

Today my outfit is rather conservative. I usually like layering bold prints and colors (often ugly ones), but I am slowly shifting towards incorporating white, off white and black. I’m interested in 30s shapes and 80s avant garde, ethnic garments and Uzbek tribal jewelry, loose fit and excessive amounts of fabric, vintage military accessories and 50s statement hats.

I too have always been into vintage military accessories. As a little kid I toted around my grandpa’s war compass everywhere I went, until some fun-hating neighbor told my mom it was probably a little bit radioactive.

So says our pal Emily, on her ‘gram of this art piece and/or trash heap on San Carlos this afternoon.

[Editor's note: WOOOOHOOOOO KARAOKE RETURNS TO 24th STREET! We'll be writing more about this historic event later in the week!]

“I’ll open your mind, shake your ass, shuffle your shizzle, cast you off, reel you in, rent out your heart to a loving couple, make tea in your soul, rake your leaves, find you a puppy, melt your brain, solve your puzzles, get you off The Island, take your temperature, sooth your aching nerves, reach your stars, bend your perception of space/time, AND give you back $0.97 in change, all in the name of Rock and/or Roll BAY AREA KARAOKE!” – Roger Niner

Why does Airbnb need a campaign headquarters you ask? Why, because they’re running for President of the New World Order, of course!

Capp Street Crap was on the scene:

The battle against a Nov. 3 ballot initiative to put the reins on vacation rentals will be led from the corner of 20th and Mission streets.

This afternoon, supporters of Airbnb-sponsored San Francisco for Everyone were busy cleaning windows on the former T-Mobile space at 2401 Mission St. Desks had already been set up inside, although a woman working outside told me their campaign office won’t officially open there until August 15.

Read on for lots more on the space and the campaign itself.

UPDATE: OOPS!

Admitting mistake, Airbnb scraps plan to open campaign office at 20th and Mission – http://t.co/JFsAmewy9W via @Shareaholic

You should see the Gooch Palms this Sunday at the Chapel.

(I’ll delve deeper in the coming days, but for now, just believe me.)
