About the Exhibition
Andy Warhol’s extraordinary series, Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century, portrays a pantheon of great Jewish thinkers, politicians, performers, musicians, and writers. Included in the series are such celebrated figures as Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Brandeis, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, the Marx Brothers, Golda Meir, George Gershwin, Franz Kafka, and Gertrude Stein. This exhibition is the first time Warhol’s original paintings have been shown on the West Coast as part of a major exhibition about the series and the individuals it portrays.
First shown at The Jewish Museum, New York in 1980, Ten Portraits was met with both critical response and praise. While many were skeptical of the artist’s intentions, others applauded his new language of color, geometric shape, and sharp line. The series represents an important and influential body of work as well as an homage to these extraordinary figures of the twentieth century.
The exhibition was organized by the Contemporary Jewish Museum with guest curator Richard Meyer, professor of Art History at the University of Southern California. Warhol's Jews debuted at The Jewish Museum, New York in spring 2008.

Blondie Live in Concert!

Inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, Blondie emerged as the great pop icons of New York's celebrated late '70s new wave punk scene by defying easy categorization. They wrote great rock hooks and brilliant, ironic lyrics. They had the hippest clothes and the coolest hair. Debbie Harry went from the pages of Punk magazine to being on the cover of just about every mainstream publication on the newsstands.
In 2008, EMI will celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Blondie's Parallel Lines with a re-release of the iconic album that gave the band their first #1 hit in the U.S., "Heart of Glass," and went on to sell over 20 million copies - an extraordinary feat achieved only by an elite club of artists. The reissue contains all the original classic tracks, along with instrumental versions, some vintage recordings previously available only on vinyl, plus exclusive video content. The timeless band that broke records and crossed boundaries with their unique style and music will hit the road again for a tour that will take them across the U.S. and Europe from summer through the end of the year. Debbie is rightfully proud of the band's hard work and accolades: "The guys have gotten really good at what they do. I mean, they always were good players and songwriters, but I think now you could say they're accomplished."

Hours: Daily 5pm-2am
Photographs of school kids playing double dutch or break dancing on urban streets and a collection of vintage ghetto blasters line the walls and are a throwback to those innocent, youthful days. Dark walls, a contemporary mirrored bar and neon chandeliers add a modern dimension. Facing the bar are frosted tables and leather seats that provide comfy seating. Hip-hop and R&B tunes play throughout without overwhelming the space.

I've spun at this bar and it's always a fun place to lay down some old school hip hop. If you are looking for hip hop the Double Dutch is one of many spots in the mission to check out.

Limon Rotisserie
1001 South Van Ness Ave
San Francisco, CA 94110
Phone: (415) 821-2134
Cross Street: 21st St.
Hours:
Mon-Thu, Sun 12pm-10pm
Fri 12pm-11pm
A stripped-down but somehow souped-up version of the Mission favorite Limon, Limon Rotisserie is cheaper and arguably better than its predecessor, although it does have one glaring problem: too many people might find out about it. Generous servings of Peruvian-style tapas like the citrusy, spicy ceviche, juicy carne a la parilla and crispy chicharron de pollo are all less than $9, and three of these plates between two people are filling. Also a deal are the towering pitchers of Goldilocks-grade sangria (not too sweet, not too strong--just right) at about $4 a glass. The space is simple, elegant and uncluttered, and street parking is easy, although keeping this place a secret may not be.
A whole, marinated, rotisserie-style chicken, plus two large sides for $15.50 is more than enough for two and easily one of the best deals in the city. The sangria is pitcher-perfect, and hard-to-find Peruvian beers are also available. All of the tables are handsome wooden two-tops, which can be pushed together to accommodate groups of up to 12.
User Review of Limon Rotisserie
Quality and Price!
For $9.50 I had a relaxed atmosphere, half of a rotisserie chicken with two side dishes. Impeccably clean, and waiters that are attentive to your every need. The side dishes are quite tasteful, with a string bean melody that is plentiful and tasty, yuca fries that surpass your typical American french fries. The half chicken is perfect for two and a third side dish would bring the meal down to less than $15, a deal for the ambiance and quality. The chicarron chicken is tasty and and excellent side dish if fried food is not an issue.
Pros: Clean, well priced, ambiance, and friendly service
Cons: None

Orgone this Saturday Night at the Boom Boom Room

SF, CA 94115
Doors at 8pm
Show at 9:30pm
$15 http://www.boomboomtickets.com/
Orgone (members of Breakestra and Dap Kings) is one of the funkiest out there and my buddy Devin plays trumpet for them. Would love to see you all out there. Please pass this along to your friends. It should be a great show.
DO NOT MISS THIS BAND!
UBIQUITY RECORDS Retro-Soul Sensation. . .
*ORGONE*
(New & Funktified Retro-Soul Dynamite Stax Style...!)
plus:
*DJ K-OS*
*ORGONE*...Sounding much like a cross between The Dap-Kings and Breakestra (with whom they share several members), L.A.'s Orgone keeps the hotness of the recent retro-soul revival coming; lead singer Fanny Franklin fits in very nicely between Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse. As befits the band's name, Orgone's sound is quite organic, rooted in soul, funk, boogaloo, and jazz, with a classic appeal that's nevertheless contemporary...the entire album is one non-stop groove. If smooth, soulful funk with jazzy arrangements makes you sweat, you just found your new favorite band.
- XLR8R
By the time the listener gets to the nasty, distorted, finger-popping, ass waggling Crabby Ali -- where the deep brewed, second-line New Orleans old-school funk goes head to head with the gloss of L.A.'s Tower of Power styled horn charts -- it feels like the party's just getting started.
- All Music
Orgone recalls acts like Fela Kuti, Trouble Funk, and War, but with a heavy dose of disco, as on Killion's Dialed Up, where the deep groove and diva vocals are so authentic, they could be samples.
- The Onion / A.V. Club
Their music is terrifically unfussy, big slabs of grizzled R&B, greasy as fatback and thick as a very particular kind of smoke. At their best, they recall the majesty of Sly & the Family Stone; opening track Who Knows Who is all bleary horns and broken-heart vocals, It's What You Do is a tight, itchy jam. There's still a riot goin' on, and Orgone is at the front of the crowd.
- eMusic
It's easy to imagine The Killion Floor both igniting mass partying and stoking libidos for more intimate gatherings.
- OC Weekly
One of the funkiest singles we've heard on Ubiquity Records in years...
- Dusty Groove
A real force to be reckoned with on the funk scene...
- Jazzman
If this is any indication of how good their album will be we're in for a treat.
- Fat City Records
These guys are on a roll.
- Turntable Lab
If you thought disco–real soulful disco–could never come back, think again.
- XLR8R
Orgone first appeared on Ubiquity with their cover of "Funky Nassau" (on Rewind Volume 4), which became a ubiquitous DJ fave worldwide. We're now proud to present their first full-length album called The Killion Floor.
The Los-Angeles-based band's reputation amongst the funk and soul fraternity is backed-up by an impressive and quickly growing resume that is expanding their reach. This includes landing a spot in an Adidas campaign, touring with major-label crew Little Brother, and going out as backing band for The Pharcyde, Plantlife (including a BBC performance for Jools Holland), Tone Loc, and New Orleans funk legend Eddie Bo at the Hurricane Katrina benefit. Members of Orgone also feature in the make-up of Ubiquity acts Connie Price and Breakestra and perform regularly at the Root Down in LA.
At the core of the band is a rhythm section comprised of close friends who have played together for over 15 years. Growing artistically as a unit they function as one organic and intuitive whole and, while they enjoy the comparisons to hot acts of the moment like Amy Winehouse, or funk staples like Sharon Jones or Breakestra, they're quick to point out that Orgone is unique, "We draw from a wider musical and production palette than a lot of the '60's inspired music that's making a resurgence," explains band-member Sean O'Shea. "It's not intentional; it's simply a reflection of the music and production aesthetics that we love." The Killion Floor backs this up by taking the listener on a musical journey from the sound of Los Angeles to horn and percussion driven Lagos, and from a New York club to the raw sounds of New Orleans.
Lead singer Fanny Franklin joined the groups' recordings after they saw her perform with Dakah, the 30-piece hip hop orchestra. "We felt she was the best soul singer in town," says O'Shea. "We asked her to record "Funky Nassau" and that led to us working together regularly." Franklin delivers monster performances that will surely put an end to her relative obscurity on tracks like the Memphis-drenched "Who Knows Who," the laid-back and cosmic "Said and Done," and the apocalyptic sound of "Do Your Thing." ... more"
I Get Lifted" is a version of the track Harry Wayne Casey (K.C.) and Richard Finch (later known in life as KC and the Sunshine Band) produced for George McCrae. Los Angeles vocalist Fanny Franklin shines on vocals riding an irresistible cosmic-flavored tune that settles nicely somewhere between live disco and spacey soul. Franklin has appeared on recordings by Dakah and sang alongside Macy Gray. She is the de-facto Orgone vocalist to appear on tours and as the main vocalist on the upcoming album.
On the flip is an instrumental inspired as much by Roy Ayers as Fela Kuti. "It's What You Do" will appeal to fans of the bands previous recordings like "Hambone" and "Funky Nassau."
