Power Punto Mix by Breezy Nix

In case you missed the epic Breezy Nix show at Amnesia last month, above is kind of how it looked, and below is kind of how it sounded (though the Amnesia show was a live set and this is a DJ set):

A fun way to mess with cyclists

Look, I’m a cyclist, I usually despise motorists, but, this does sound fun. Your delivery would have to be pitch perfect though. Let’s all work on it and reconvene in a few weeks.

Burrata explained

Whenever I’m with new people at Beretta and I order the margherita with burrata, I find myself having to explain burrata. I do okay, but not as good as the Cheesemonger:

Burrata means “buttered” in Italian. It’s that rich. What it really is, though, is fresh cheese at its best. At first glance, burrata resembles a ball of mozzarella. But upon further scrutiny, it’s clear that this round of cheese is softer, and indeed, when cut, has an interior that spills out, revealing soft, stringy curd and fresh cream. If you’re a lover of mozzarella, ricotta, or really anything that’s straight-up creamy, this cheese is so what you want.

Let’s get one thing clear: Burrata is not mozzarella. And burrata is not buffala mozzarella, although it’s made from buffalo milk. Burrata is its own thing entirely, and you’ll know this the second you taste it. Perhaps some of the confusion has come from its tradition, which tells of a cheesemaking process that was born from another: burrata was made in order to rescue the little scraps of mozzarella di bufala that were leftover in the cheesemaking vat.

And there’s lots more to it too. Read on.

Flight to San Diego faster than Muni ride from Lower Haight to Downtown

SFist‘s Comment of the Day today is a peach:

The other week my husband left on a flight to San Diego at the same time I boarded Muni at Duboce Park to go downtown to work. He arrived in San Diego before I arrived at Montgomery Station.

Read on for further Muni woes.

The squid one was perplexing enough, BART. What are you trying to tell us now?

‘For rent’ sign down, paper up at Discolandia

Reader Rob T. noticed the change this morning (and took this picture and wrote the above headline).

Does this mean something’s up? Grand plans in the works? An exciting new era about to dawn?

Space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station just passed directly over the Mission

See ‘em? I hope you saw ‘em, because, as you probably know, that was your last chance to see an American space shuttle do anything :(

Arizona Senator John McCain totally nosed by notable Oakland deadbeat Ryan Christopher Parks

Ryan is a barrel of laughs. Poignant laughs!

You might want to check out his band too, and his awesome Kickstarter pitch.

Naked girls skating at the skate park (NSFW)

It’s a pretty simple concept, yet for some reason this remains one of the most bizarre promotional videos I’ve ever seen. I think our Tumblr buddy More Than Most says it best:

What the fuck?

Exactamundo. Watch it if you dare:

UPDATE: Apparently the video no longer exists. It was a promo for some kind of new Playboy show. I’m not going to try to find it.

Reader Marco suggests this alternative, and our Tumblr offers another great screenshot.

UPDATE: Jacobe found the real thing! Here it is.

12-pack dilemma

I’ve got a 12-pack of Pabst and no bag and no rack. What do I do?

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."
