• Last Night: Mission Street Food Mash-Up Night

  (Palermo vs. Tokyo by Chef Ian Muntzert)Notes and Photos by Tamara Palmer We've written previously of our love of Mission Street Food, the brainchild of Bar Tartine line chef Anthony Myint that began life as a truck in October and now takes place most Thursday nights at Lung Shan (2234 Mission). Guest chefs are now a part of the mix each time, and this evening was called Mash-Up Night in honor of the different hybrid styles that came out of the kitchen. A mash-up is also a term widely used i

• Hitsville: The Year in Music, by the Numbers

  By Randall Roberts You don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come. War, financial collapse, politics, technology: All have been dinner-table topics for many Americans. Racial barriers in 2008 were demolished by a Midwestern black man, and gender barriers were hurdled by an Arkansan and an Alaskan.Democracy has a few awesome new dance moves rolling into the Obama presidency, and i

• MP3 of the Day: Beyonce

  Get ready to hear a lot more of "At Last" -- the song Etta James, among others, famously covered, and which Beyonce gave a spin more recently in her role as James in the film Cadillac Records.  Beyonce will deliver her version to the world live tomorrow, as she serenades First Couple Barack and Michelle Obama during their "first dance" on inauguration night (who knew there was such a thing as a first dance? Not me, obviously). To preview tomorrow's historical slow dance, you can check out B

• Last Night: Adele at The Warfield

  Adele The Warfield January 29, 2009 Better than: Watching Amy Winehouse frolic a step away from death. British singer/songwriter Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (known simply as Adele) totes a voice that's dripping with old soul, yet she's only 20. When she took to the stage last night at the Warfield, that voice sounded as crisp, clear and pitch-perfect as it does on her debut album 19 (so named for her age at the time of its recording), a tone that outclasses performers more than twice her age.

  Gretchen RobinetteAntony and the JohnsonsTuesday, Feb. 24, 2009Nob Hill Masonic CenterBetter than: Old Nina Simone records.When it comes to Antony Hagerty live, nothing is as you'd expect it. For example, that such a powerfully feminine voice would flow out of such a large man's body. Or that a voice quivering with so much hurt in song could switch into such funny, flippant banter between songs. And that someone with so much praise at his feet (from no less than Lou Reed, among others) could sti

You walk through the doors and everything shines in gold and velvet. The bathrooms have vintage tiles, a foot pump flush, and an attendant waiting to hand you two nice, thick paper towels to dry your hands. It always feels like jazz bands or blues singers should play there, ye

• Chron Clueless About the Current State of Radio

  Radio GaGa? No, Lady Gaga Interesting article on Bay Area radio Music Directors in today's Chron. When I say interesting, it's because the information presented runs counter not only to what's currently happening with the commercial radio industry, but is written in such a way to suggest that writer Aidin Vaziri is completely clueless to this discrepancy. In fact, this article is more notable for what it doesn't tell you than what it does: it doesn't mention that most, if not all MDs on Clear

• Energy 92 Sold to New Owners

  ​Yesterday, Chron radio columnist Ben Fong-Torres reported that Energy 92 (KNGY) has been sold. As far as I know, the station was the only major commercial station in this market to actively target gay and lesbian listeners with its programming. It was a bit of an anomaly in the world of commercial radio with a playlist based around electronic dance music and club hits rather than Top 40 songs. Though it played its share of songs by Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga,, Energy also broadcast undergr
