San Diego Street Scene 2009

[summerkid]

That's odd about security, they never searched my friends and I either day and my friends had backpacks.

All in all, I had a great time!

I also love the fact that you can walk everywhere from your hotel if you are in the downtown area!

I'm so glad it's back on the streets where it belongs.

What's this California Burrito SSPUs was talking about?

its a carne asada burrito with french fries inside it. I didn't realize this was a San Diego thing...

[Ardentbiscuit]

I had never heard of it and then I looked on the web and saw it on a bunch of restaurants menus in SD but wasn't sure what it was.

Thanks for the info, until this last weekend I had never heard of it!

Holy shit, isn't this the dreadlocked midget everyone talks about at Coachella??

He drums for Wavves?

Thats Zach Hill - not a midget

Damn those MIA pics look sick! Is that her or Rye Rye or her back up singer? Actually all your pics came out sick!

[DJdharma]

I would agree with this, except that PE put on such a great show that it was worth it.

I must secretly confess to you that I did stay for their whole set, even if it was just to absorb the spectacle that is Flava Flav.

A post on another forum noted that Flava wears a huge clock on his chest, but still has a problem keeping time. Go figure.

I got the feeling Of Montreal was doing a flying sound check, as mic and sound levels seemed to change during the first few songs in the set.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

As I was waiting for Of Montreal to start I could clearly hear Flavor Flav say that Public Enemy were a bunch of gorillas. Classic...

have you heard of carne asada fries? a classic san diego dish

http://static4.px.yelp.com/bphoto/ew1mz42k3_rhhPxfe7GYvQ/l

[Sexecutioner]

carne asada nachos are classic. the fries are a more recent trend...

[Ardentbiscuit]

Sorry about getting off the subject but what are the best places in SD to get the California Burrito, Carne Asada fries, and Carne Asada Nachos.

Thanks in advance!

[sames44]

You'll probably get so many differing opinions here, but I like Santana's (http://www.santanas.com/)

[SDsoldier7]

Ortegas in La Jolla.

Super Sergios off clairemont mesa blvd.

Alibertos in poway.

there is a mexican shop at every corner in san diego, but there is a vast range in quality and taste. these 3 are good to go, and i would drive out of my way to go to either one. dont forget the horchata to drink either. or pina.

[SDsoldier7]

You'll probably get so many differing opinions here, but I like Santana's (http://www.santanas.com/)

Santanas is cool. plus they are open 24hrs. the ones i reccomended use homemade tortillas and their guac is always the freshest green.

[NicoDread]

Once i had a shit ton of hair in my carne asada fries at the Santana's in San Marcos. just sayin

[SDsoldier7]

santans is a chain. so....im not surprised. i wouldnt take someone from out of town there.

[NicoDread]

I like El Indio

[sames44]

El Indio is the best taco shop ever. Never been to the Santana's in San Marcos, that's really gross - I can only speak for Point Loma, Sports Arena, PB & Hillcrest.

[unknown]

Josh, carne asada fries are far from recent. I've been grubbin on those bitches since '95

[GrossMagic]

It's all about the Jalapeños is Carmel Mountain. If your from SD and haven't been there you suck at life.

[amyzzz]

Gross.

[Boourns]

have you heard of carne asada fries? a classic san diego dish

http://static4.px.yelp.com/bphoto/ew1mz42k3_rhhPxfe7GYvQ/l

Oh fuck, those look good.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I will have hit up some of these places on my next trip.

So when I was driving around I saw a place called, "California Burrito" and "California Taco Shop". Are those just poser places?

This is almost like all of the restaurants in and around LA who carry Tommy's like burgers and fries.

[Sexecutioner]

santanas claims they invented the cali...not sure if thats true or not though. they used to be the bomb, but their quality has gone way downhill in recent years. lolitas is where its at, their carne is the shit. they started out down south in chula and bonita, but now they also have locations in clairemont and downtown. i highly recommend them.

didnt know carne asada fries had been around that long. only noticed them on menus like in the last 5 or so years, but maybe i just wast paying attention. doesnt matter cuz nachos are highly superior anyway.

[sames44]

doesnt matter cuz nachos are highly superior anyway.

truth - you gotta have the crunch

[PJandBompton]

Don't go to Santanas...it's a chain and quality is low...

If you are by Super Sergios just skip it and go to Robertos...open 24/7 and good as FUCK...that is the spot for me and the friends after concerts or the club

[sames44]

Roberto's is a chain as well.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Not to mention there are probably 359782930573096583652 "Roberto's" named places in San Diego.

[sames44]

Higoberto's, Adalberto's, Alberto's, Humberto's...the 'berto's list goes on and on. I think it's a conspiracy.

[PJandBompton]

Roberto's is a chain as well.

Robertos is a chain by the name but they don't all use the same recipes like Santanas...the one off Cl. Mesa is very very good

[hawkingvsreeve]

Bahia on El Cajon Blvd and Florida fills my heart with glee.

[Boourns]

So who has the best carne asada fries in SD? In LA? I know they are a SD specialty, but might as well try some here to hold myself over until my next time in SD.

[send me ctrpllrs]

El Indio's the best I've been to. Been around for a long ass time. Such good tortilla chips they make.

Lolita's used to be good. It's gone downhill after the last two years. I haven't been to the one by Petco Park yet though, maybe they are better.

[DJdharma]

Would you thread jackers please get yer heads out of yer stomachs!

I loved Bassnectar, but got a little bored with the constant 110 bpm (approx.). Just when I thought a song was going to break loose, it just stayed the same. Sorta squelched my roll. The salvation was in the fact that the bass was so strong that my sinuses, lungs, and body hair were vibrating and tickling.

[SDsoldier7]

i here ya on that dharma. i kind of felt the sameway at juju beats. it was a good set if you wanted some straight up bass music. i like sets with a good balance however.

[DJdharma]

Overall I have to say that Street Scene and my time spent in San Diego, Gas Lamp, Mission Beach, were my best weekend all summer. SS '09 was superior to LA detour '08. I just hope all the financials get worked out, and everyone gets paid, and we can all do it again in '10!

"Keep it classy, San Diego"!

[matsuolost]

any bootlegs from the show?

[Wheres the beef?]

You guys are all fucking high if you think El Indio and/or Santana's are even remotely good. Neither is anything in Old Town.

For sushi, I highly recommend Sushi Deli #1 on Washington st.

And if you dont want to wait outside like the others, go next door to CJ's. Better yet, do what I did, and get your food to go from sushi deli and eat it at CJ's.

Be sure to get the Tuna Poppers. Worth a trip to San Diego just by themselves.

[thewildcat]

i wish i went to this!

What the fuck don't you like about El Indio? It's quick, cheap, great tasting Mexican food. A winning combo.

I live close by Sushi Deli and thats exactly what I do. Always a fucking line out the door at all locations.. Right up the street is a great walk up mexican place called La Posta open 24hr.

This poster was on sale for $30.00 on Saturday of SDSS at the north merch booth. It sold out a little before 11pm Saturday night. At the bottom of the poster it shows, 08 - 29 - 09 - Street Scene - San Diego.

Girl Talk was mine.

[wewantmuse]

cage the elephant. no question.

[SDsoldier7]

Best 4,000th post ever.

u guys are butt lovers i see...

u two live in hillcrest right?

[SDsoldier7]

i only went friday. to me its funny that you guys didnt see girl talk.

davendra banheart, holy fuck, the nortec collective, deer hunter, a lil chromeo and a lil modest mouse.

[SDsoldier7]

Yeah I caught that. Pretty great fucking night of music! Holy Fuck, Conor Oberst, Deerhunter, Chromeo, Nortec, Calexico, and some BEP. Today will be sick as well. Hopefully I meet more of you later on tonight. Dead Weather and Bassnectar are a must for me, other than that I'm winging it.

The fucking microbrewery is the place to be! Taste 5 different brews for 10 bucks plus most of these breweries give out plenty of extra tastings! I came out of there fucked up! Great way to cap the night.


you like the Black Eyed Peas?????? you saw them??????
:rotfl

thats so embarassing.

[anti-square]

Walked by Girl Talk and it was terrible, shitty played out songs being mashed up. Disgusting. I actually thought I caught Calexico on Saturday, but I guess I did catch them on Friday while in the microbrewery. I heard what I wanted and went to catch Black Eyed Peas and they were pretty good. It's not my fault you missed the Dead Weather and your highlight ends up being fucking Girl Talk. That's embarrasing.

[wewantmuse]

i'm not into calexico, so after cage the elephant i took a breather while i saw black eyed peas. honestly, they weren't bad at all. they put on a fun show with a lot of variety. saying you enjoyed black eyed peas isn't a terrible thing. now if they were your highlight...

[anti-square]

Now that I remember, I did catch Cage the Elephant before BEP as well.

[SDsoldier7]

It's not my fault you missed the Dead Weather and your highlight ends up being fucking Girl Talk. That's embarrasing.

dont worry about it. you on the other hand...you like the black eyed peas, you have a lot to think about.

[unknown]

But BEP had lazersssss. And moar lazers automatically make a show awesome.


Oh and Micah, I am SO happy you found the poster and are able to buy one! The look on your face as you ran back from the ATM ready to purchase one then receiving the news that the merch guy just sold THE LAST ONE hurt my heart :(. If that guy would've told us the poster hanging was the last fucking one I would've fronted you the cash. Ugh. Well I'm glad one is on its way to you!

[SDsoldier7]

lazers or not, this song is the worse:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lXtCTixWR3g&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lXtCTixWR3g&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

anti-square prolly listens to this first thing in the morning. u went nuts during this song huh anti?

I think my favorite was Chromeo.

That makes sense. I would expect you to pick Girl Talk because he is horrible.

The Dead Weather was my favorite.

[djandrews25]

Because of course, your taste is better than his and judging by your posting history better than everyone else. Opinions are like assholes tommy, even you have one.

hey tommy, i was trying to meet up with lilia and some of the boardies, i didnt know what anyone looked like though except for you. so i was looking for you and was saying to myself "this should be easy to find them, tommys face is so ugly, he should be easy to spot in a crowd" ....

[anti-square]

anti-square prolly listens to this first thing in the morning. u went nuts during this song huh anti?

mazeltof!

Wow, what a fucking douche. I'm happy to be able to admit I caught some of BEP. By no means were they the best of the weekend or even Friday for that matter. Based on that crowd, I'm sure I wasn't the only on here that caught them as well.
You on the other hand, put it out there in the universe that your idea of your best possible concert experience for that weekend was a self-admitted hack who also has no clue how idiots like you find his shit appealing.

[westcoastpirate]

Girl Talk - "I'm not a DJ"

Im assuming thats who they are talking about

[TommyboyUNM]

Awww too bad we never met up, Tommy was looking forward to meeting you! ;)

I wouldn't shut up about it all weekend.

[pancakespancakes]

I hate to admit it, but the ripoff talentless hacks in Deerhunter put on my favorite show of this year's Street Scene. It was just good clean fun.

Girl Talk has been invited to coachella 2 times over the last 3 years, and unlike perry and aoki, he had premium time slots.

You like the black eyed peas. thats serious. we dont get along just because of that. so stop talking to me.

mazeltof!

[westcoastpirate]

I wouldn't shut up about it all weekend.

I'm flattered.

[Sexecutioner]

yet you answerd my question.

i answered your question cuz it was a good question. its your answer that was gay as fuck. girl talk isnt the worst thing ever, i'm sure its a fun dance party and all, and if there was nothing else going on i'd check him out. but if he was your favorite act at street scene, that is sad.

[SDsoldier7]

im guessing you and anti had a bep butt fest?

dont worry about me man. i can pull plenty of tail without having to date rape drunken bitches at a girl talk show.

[SDsoldier7]

tommy girl, your so smart.

[TommyboyUNM]

Clever. Anybody who says that marijuana use isn't a direct cause of retardation should just observe you for a couple of days to be proven wrong.

[SDsoldier7]

i see you are doing your homework.... at least your doing something.

[Sexecutioner]

im glad you like my avatar. its pretty bad ass, isnt it?

[TommyboyUNM]

Oh nooo!! I thought that was 4Ransom talking shit to me!! The avatar change is so CONFUSING.

I feel ridiculous for even going back and forth with you. It's like Roger Federer playing tennis with Corky from Life Goes On. It's just not fun and, at a certain point, Federer would probably just feel sorry for Corky. Enjoy the rest of your day, little buddy.

[unknown]

Why would anybody start using someone else's avatar?

awwww and why do you have to be so mean, SDsoldier??? Calling 3 extremely nice gentleman ugly is only causing you to look rather immature.

and the only reason I think Girl Talk has been scheduled for Coachella is because there are, unfortunately, a large number of people who enjoy that type of shit. The rest of us music snobs prefer something that is not played out and takes some type of talent to produce.

[unknown]

Does your girl know about all this tail you're able to pull? ;)

[djandrews25]

Does your girl know about all this tail you're able to pull? ;)

Of course she does, how do you think they hooked up in the first place.

[Sexecutioner]

exaaaactly.

[pancakespancakes]

and the only reason I think Girl Talk has been scheduled for Coachella is because there are, unfortunately, a large number of people who enjoy that type of shit. The rest of us music snobs prefer something that is not played out and takes some type of talent to produce.

My friends all worship Girl Talk. And I mean they seroiusly worship the dude. "Greg Gillis is my hero." Their most looked-forward-to act of Friday at Coachella last year. It's insane. (These are people with otherwise great taste in music not dissimilar to my own.) Two of them are aspiring DJs though, and that's a big reason why. I can see how he might be a genius in that particular field. I still just don't fucking get it though, I'm glad the majority of the board here agrees.

[pancakespancakes]

Also, SDsoldier really makes me A) want to move the hell out of San Diego (not notable) and B) never want to smoke weed again (quite notable.) An interesting board member.

[Sushov23]

Saying Girl Talk was your fav. on friday is reasonable. It's an hour-hour and a half of straight up partying. It feels like going to a house party, and dancing around and drinking with all your friends. I think being a DJ, or going to a lot of hiphop house parties will make you appreciate what Girl Talk does. Tommy, that is a big reason I like him. His hip-hop selection is solid for me, it's the party records that make people dance and go nuts. Being a DJ, and what doing what Girl Talk does is not as easy as you might think it is. I want a lot of the people who talk bad on Girl Talk to give Djing a shot, see if they can get people dancing. Being a DJ isn't all about playing songs you love, you have to play to the crowd. It's an art. This is not saying Girl Talk is the best, but he certainly does not suck.

[pancakespancakes]

See, that is a perfect description of what makes him good, you're much better at explaining him than my friends have ever been. I do understand that it's just partytime music, which I usually can enjoy (but am not partial to), I've just never wrapped my head around the intellectual or artistic value behind the guy's work that they claim. The only attraction I have ever had to his music is that "house party" vibe that you bring up, which I definitely think he's great at.

Seeing him live was pretty lame for me (Bonnaroo)... but maybe I just caught a bad set, not to mention I was all alone. It's pretty easy to see how one person could have more fun at his set than anyone else's at a festival.

[unknown]

There are plenty of other djs I'd rather listen to than girl talk. It's a personal taste thing for me.

[Gribbz]

As a turntablist I can appreciate what mash-up DJ's do. It's not easy. At all.

But all Girl Talk does live is get drunk and push a button on a laptop.

[westcoastpirate]

...But all Girl Talk does live is get drunk and push a button on a laptop.

I couldn't agree more. And you know how we know he pushes a button? That damn shitty visualization shit he had going on. It was perfectly in sync with whatever the fuck he was doing.

Oh another reason why girl talk sucks...I can't dance to that music. All I can do is hop up and down. If I truly want to dance, I need some electro. To each their own I guess

I would love to see Dungen at a small venue like the Troubador, and I got the feeling the guys would rather play in a dark intimate place more befitting their music. All the members really projected a lot of that unique Nordic personallity. My wife said the guys looked like they were starving hipsters and she wanted to feed them. I suggested she save the food for the lead singer of Deerhunter.

[westcoastpirate]

Dungen looked like they were melting in the sun

[DJdharma]

They looked like melting popcicles.

i'm not saying girl talk doesn't just push a button, because i really don't know one way or the other, but i will say that it IS possible to do live mixing (and even scratching) that's perfectly synced to video. it's just a matter of software. check out coldcut or dj yoda sometime.

This is true. See Cut Chemist in The Dome circa 2007.

i just dont think girl talk is all that special, all his sets sound kind of the same and he does alot of the same mash ups in sets.

It's a very good question.

[PJandBompton]

Conor Oberst tonight at Spreckles....


This one goes out to Rob Hagey, who owes me $41,000 for playing Street Scene in August.

wow.

I do not expect SS to come back next year.

[Sexecutioner]

ha, heard that too tonight and got a good chuckle.

[wewantmuse]

lol. good game. even if they do pay their debts, hagey's reputation in the music business is completely thrashed now.

As if it was bad enough...


According to a letter received by our parent company, Southland Publishing, Rob Hagey Productions (aka Street Scene) is liquidating its assets in order to pay an estimated $2.8 million owed to creditors (full disclosure: CityBeat’s among those owed money) and an undisclosed amount owed to former employees. This isn’t bankruptcy; rather, it’s what’s known as a General Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors. According to the letter—from San Diego Credit Association—General Assignment is “an option to filing a Chapter 7 liquidation in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.” The letter goes on to say,

[I]t was determined that it would be in the company’s and its creditors’ best interest to execute a General Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors rather than seek Chapter 7 Bankruptcy relief. Bankruptcy liquidation is generally associated with lengthy, cumbersome and expensive administrative proceedings which reduce and delay recoveries to creditors.

In the last three months, two Street Scene contractors, Southern California Sound Image and Kleege Industries, filed lawsuits against Rob Hagey Productions alleging breach of contract.

I’ve sent an e-mail to Rob Hagey and his son, Riley, who oversaw production at this year’s event.

Update: I just received an e-mail from Rob Hagey:

As you know we had a very tough year. The attendance dropped below 50% of what we had anticipated for Street Scene. So the loss was substantial for my company, Rob Hagey Productions. I have had to close my account as my company is completely insolvent. I have transferred all monies to San Diego Credit Association well below the debt owed to everyone. They will act as the appointed trustee for the betterment of all the creditors including SD City Beat related to Street Scene 09. I have worked in the music business for over thirty years (producing Street Scene for 25 of those years). So this is a life altering time, something that hurts me deeply as I’m very passionate about music.

That's what happens when you have the Black Eyed Peas as the anchor to your festival. That is too bad for Hagey.

so does this mean RIP Street Scene for life?

Not to mention having the Beastie Boys drop out and not replace them with another headliner.
