"It’s the camaraderie that oozes from behind the bar and the people on the other side that make this one of the best places in the Bay to grab a beer," writes @agspinelli.bsky.social — a #BOB25 for Enterprise Brewery!

The Brazilian soul legend Hyldon was behind classic songs from Azymuth, Tim Maia & The Fevers –as well as his own estimable solo canon @agspinelli.bsky.social spoke with him about his most essential recordings, including his new late-career opus w/ Jazz is Dead www.passionweiss.com/2025/05/06/m...

"My expectation was that we wouldn’t be here. I really believed we were going to be in a better place, with more justice and more equity and less violence." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/a...

Dude walking onto this MUNI train with a glass of wine in one hand and bottle of pills in the other is truly embodying the spirit of Easter.

I put together a wildly thorough weekend itinerary for any and all sports travelers in SF. Peep it at @thrillist.bsky.social 🤙 www.thrillist.com/travel/natio...

Stumbled upon a Simpsons-themed pop-up bar in Downtown SF that opened a few days ago. Can confirm that it's a damn hell ass cromulent hang and wrote about it for @48hills.bsky.social ~(_8^(I) 48hills.org/2025/02/woo-...

Will be hopping on the mighty @rollovereasy.bsky.social hyperlocal radio mega show at around 815am or so. Tune in for all things SF beer week, noise pop fest and nba all-star game! bff.fm/shows/roll-o...

“For the first time in a while, the whole world got to see San Francisco for the creative, diverse, exciting, scenic and accessible destination that it’s always been.” Waxed on our city shining so bright at NBA All-Star Weekend, for @48hills.bsky.social 48hills.org/2025/02/nba-...

My wrap-up of NBA All-Star wknd for @bleachereport.bsky.social 🫡 bleacherreport.com/articles/251...

Spent a month canvasing Spanish food and drink in SF and wrote about the best spots in the city for @eater.bsky.social 🙌 sf.eater.com/maps/san-fra...

Kendrick and SZA up there doin it at the Super Bowl halftime show got me emotional y’all. This is beautiful 🙌

Anthony Davis continues to be the most underrated player in the NBA. While the Lakers absolutely make the Luka trade 100 times out of 100, don’t pretend like AD is anywhere near washed. Still one of the most unguardable players in the league and a perennial DPOY candidate.

Wrote about an achingly terrible slate of NBA All-Star Weekend Concerts in SF, for @48hills.bsky.social. 48hills.org/2025/02/why-...

A long overdue paean to a San Francisco whiskey legend. Here's wishing distiller Bruce Joseph all the best in retirement. www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar...

The first ten minutes of this set and how this absolute legend builds energy and vibe needs to be studied in a college course. @thelotradio.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSe4...

"My favorite thing about record shopping is discovering new things. I’m always looking for stuff that I don’t know, rather than the stuff that I want, because it can send you off on all these tangents." Big up @zackruskin.bsky.social on this #rare Jamie XX chat. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

"In the case of Casa Guadalupe, Walgreens will continue to pay 75% of the rent through 2034, while the Gil family pays 25%." Stellar local story by @jkdineen.bsky.social, capturing disparate perspectives from real estate brokers, a developer and a Latino grocer. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/w...

Anybody else been listening to the Julee Cruise albums all day and about to watch 'Blue Velvet' tonight?

This @nytimes.com feature is a really incredible music discovery build out that lets you easily toggle and listen through parts of over 450 songs. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This has been the worst Wild Card weekend round of football that I can remember. The NFL’s playoff expansion into 7 teams per conference was made to make more regular season games matter, but it has also diluted the playoff product.

Set out to write about deleting my Facebook account and ended up writing about our crumbling information ecosystem open.substack.com/pub/prettygo...

For @sfchronicle.com, I dove deep into the world of NA beer to find out how Fort Point used a cutting edge yeast strain to make their new NA line of beers taste like actual beer. www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/ar...

Reflecting a bit and these were the shows I'm still thinking about 🤟

Watched the @kneecapceol.bsky.social movie last night and adored it. Along with a well-told story, the cinematography was aces. Big recommend to all music peeps especially.

Here's my favorite albums and songs of 2024 ✌️ everythingecstatic.net/2024/12/30/4...

Damn…Beyoncé’s pulling all the stops. Too bad the Texans are getting smoked 😂🤠

For those of us who still can't get enough of Broadcast after two new collections of demos were released this year, this @ntsradio.bsky.social episode is a winter morning warmer <3 www.nts.live/artists/7555...

Took the dog to Mori Point in Pacifica today for his 5th birthday and it was gorgeous out there.

Finished a 'Deadwood' rewatch last week and was reminded of both how it's an all-time great show and also one that should've never ever been cancelled.

"I really wish JR could experience this, but I think he knows." A lovely profile of Christopher Owens by @zackruskin.bsky.social for the @sfchronicle.com. Emotionally preparing myself for the SF show on Monday too 🙏 www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Enjoyed the absolute heck out of the Rosie Tucker @npr.org Tiny Desk concert. www.npr.org/2024/11/27/g...

Got seated next to a first date last night at dinner and we knew how it was going when as soon as dude got up to go to the bathroom, homegirl reached into her purse and took a long, pensive drag from her vape pen.

Watched Gremlins 2 tonight and it’s a thing of beauty.

"...Not just because Kendrick showed love to the Bay, but because the “squabble up” video reminds audiences that dance is a crucial part of hip-hop." Bay Areaaaaa! A deeper look at the new K-Dot video. www.kqed.org/arts/1396860...
