One of the best shows I ever saw was Jay Reatard at the Knockout a few years back, back when the stage was on the lower level. His set lasted all of maybe 18 minutes, but that didn’t bother me because I was busy getting my face melted off.

Jay was always good to the Mission, playing unannounced shows and blowing minds left and right. Sucks that he’s dead.

We’ve been seeing this character’s disembodied head floating around all over the neighborhood for weeks, so it’s nice to finally be able to put a name to a face, thanks to this pic snapped by Mike near 20th and Florida. I’m going with that his name is Oddfellow Says: “Get Even.”

Thanks, Mike! Click to enlarge.

SFist has the scoop.

Uptown Almanac, which was described to us by its founder the other day as “a joke Mission Mission,” is actually pretty useful. Today it informed me that the REI website has Timbuk2′s Dolores Chiller on sale for just $79.95! Bargain! I guess the spike in demand following our controversial product review last summer has finally begun to wear off. Link.

The Tens was in LA for a while, but lucky for us he’s back, and 2010 is looking good.
