Just in time for Christmas: Chocolate Jesus

by admin

This year’s Christmas miracle arrives in the form of a sweet melt-in-your-mouth confection, wrapped in gold for your salvation. In a classic case of life imitating art parodying religion, a savvy German entrepreneur is hawking “The Original Chocolate GoldJesus.” “I started thinking about how I could reintroduce traditional religious values into this commercial world,” said Frank Oynhausen, who is selling the “Sweet Lord” by the thousands on his website www.goldjesus.com. Surprise: The church crowd isn’t crazy about Choco … Read More »

Take the skinheads turkey bowling

by admin

There is no better way to tenderize your bird… …than turkey bowling on the streets. But this year, feeling the need for speed, we added wheels, with a rock for a hammer, caveman-style…. and a turkeycam for the bird’s eye view…. Syrah chef bowler Josh Silver added his secret ingredient (duck fat)…. but enough with the fixings, at some point you must liberate the bird (and march out the Top 3 post-turkey day shows)….

Elvin Bishop’s musical gumbo

by admin

I casually mention something about New Orleans and blues chef Elvin Bishop goes off about the gumbo he cooked up last week. Suddenly we’re talking stewing hens, slimy okra and “weeping onions.” By the time we get to the roux, it’s hard to steer him back to his latest project, “The Blues Rolls On,” a career-spanning little-help-from-my-friends album that pairs him with the likes of B.B. King, George Thorogood, Derek Trucks, Tommy Castro and a handful … Read More »

“Twilight” sneak preview: Eeeeeeeeeeeee!

by admin

The screaming broke out long before “Twilight” ever lit up the screen Tuesday night. It started with the occasional high-pitched yelp and random outcry as several hundred tweens and teen girls crowded the lobby of San Francisco’s Metreon theater in a long line that disappeared up a staircase. A group of girls in “Team Edward” T-shirts suddenly just let her rip. “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” If you didn’t know Edward was a vampire, you might think he … Read More »

When Collie Buddz comes around

by admin

You gotta love the NorCal growing community. “Come Around” reggae singer Collie Buddz wraps up his West Coast tour Sunday night at the Sebastopol Community Center. So where can you get tix? Last Record Store? Nope. Ticketmaster? Nope. The only place in Sonoma County moving the $25 boletos is a grassroots hydroponics shop: Pro Gardening Systems. Upon us, the age of target marketing and one-stop shopping: Reggae fans = devout horticulturists. Or as Matt over at PGS put … Read More »

Believe It or Not

by admin

Robert Ripley, the oddball columnist, world explorer and native son of Santa Rosa, is finally getting the Hollywood treatment. But here’s the rub: Director Tim Burton backed out before filming was to start in China last year. Other names previously attached to the project were Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. Any of these auteurs of the absurd would have been perfect for a biopic fantasia. But now guess who’s directing? Christopher Columbus. The guy who brought you “Home Alone … Read More »

Talking politics with John Hiatt

by admin

I meant to get this out sooner than later, but time slipped away as usual. Last week, I got a chance to chat with John Hiatt the day after the election. That morning, I could still hear the distant echo of cars honking, driving around Union Square the night before, blowing out Obama’s historic victory. Then it dawned on me – I’d never really thought about Hiatt’s politics. On one hand, he seems about as liberal … Read More »

About Knowing Mel

by admin

Imagine writing your final words, your final notes, weaving them together, knowing all the while they will put an end to your body of work, at the end of the road you’ve been winding down your entire life. On Thursday, I had the chance to watch longtime Mel Graves collaborators George Marsh and Thomas Buckner record their friend’s final composition “About Knowing.” As you’ve probably heard by now, the revered SSU jazz … Read More »
