So, I have now come across 3 different fliers for the Mon Cousin Belge record release party at Cafe Du Nord on the 17th. So lets play a game. Leave a comment telling which band designed which flier, an explanation on why, and which one is your favorite. So far there is nothing to win or gain in doing this, but maybe i’ll just be nice and give some lucky person my spot on the guest list for the show. Seeing as i don’t even know if there is a guest list, maybe i’ll just send you a new, rad, Passionistas T-shirt, or hell maybe both! - OK!
1. - The one you have seen before.

OH, yeah, leave a comment on the video flier too if you want… its just underneath this post. And I know it’s easy to tell who did what - so this is all based on why, the best why might win! BEGIN FLIERFIGHT!!

What did you do 25 years into your lukewarm career? Make an awesome song about it? I bet not! Luckily Too $hort was here to make that awesome song about long hauled mediocrity and getting head that you weren’t willing to write. And that’s why his Summer 2006 hyphy hit Blow The Whistle made our list of Best San Francisco Songs of All Time!

Best of all time? Myles knows how to set the bar for a new feature. Whatevs, I think this song by myspace of the week alumni The Units is pretty great. Mission is a humorous ode to, you guessed it, the mission: burritos, marijuana, the …um… fashion, and humongous boom boxes. Its the closest thing to a party song on the album, and the chorus makes me smirk every time I hear it “The Mission is bitchin’!/Mission I don’t take no ^%::&++!/Alright!” (note, that’s the band censoring itself). Honestly, the mission hasn’t changed too much in the twenty seven years that have passed from since the release of Digital Stimulation on 415 records.

In our new series, World Famous In San Franciso will educate you about what the best San Francisco songs of all time are. Our choices are not up for debate. They are the truth, they are fact.

Myles: One of my favorite songs of all time is “Just Like a Baby” by Sly & The Family Stone of their 1971 album “There’s a Riot Goin’ On.” This song is completely virtuosic at being a diamond in the rough. Anyway, I don’t really need to explain why this song is so good, just listen.
