This is Mustard. A homeless guy who just appeared on a Sirius XM Radio show who’s jackass hosts don’t need any more press. See, messing with the homeless is one of their recurring bits (i.e., offering one a whole pie and then stomping on it in front of them). Doesn’t matter if they give ’em cash afterwards, that’s F’d up.
But this time they didn’t get a homeless guy who was visibly drunk or with obvious mental problems to toy with. Surprised, they got a guy with some seriously gruff pipes and a heartbreaking rendition of Radiohead‘s Creep. To me, that deserves all the press he can get. (via workforfood)
For four years, Last-Christmas.com has collected cover versions of Wham‘s … wait for it … Last Christmas. The site’s as brilliant and wrong as the original song. So to get in the mood for over 418+ takes on George Michael‘s festive opus, here are my picks for the Top 4, naturally:
With Sunday holding a trip to the Mission for Blue Ribbon Salvage at SF Indie Mart, the first track is the perfect way to start things off (at least in name). The rest are just a cross section of this week’s rotation. Enjoy.
SPIN just got around to naming Thao with the Get Down Stay Down “Hot New Band”, and Friend of the Umlaut Jonathan Ratcliff (see Ferocious Few 4.27.09) was picked to shoot her in San Francisco. Nice work, man!
This is a slow burner. A beautiful one at that. Directed by the duo WeWereMonkeys (Davide Di Saro and Mihai Wilson). Soooo bummed I missed this show last night at Cafe Du Nord. $10!!!!
UPDATED: Halloween night, a roaming Star Wars Cantina Band took over the Mission in SF. Hitting up bar after bar. And when they couldn’t get in (ahem … Bruno’s) they played on the sidewalk.
The ghost’s Muppet-like arms remind me of the DJ in the dance scene in Sixteen Candles. You know, the one who’s only visible for a few seconds? For some reason that always stuck in my head. Total Muppet arms.
