SF Weekly’s Best of 2013 dubs us “Best Audio 3-Ring Circus”

June 10, 2013

Of all the community radio options in the Bay Area, she had to walk in to this one . . . No, wait, that’s, “Of all the community radio options in the Bay Area,  Radio Valencia in San Francisco is the best value for your free radio-listening dollar,” according to the SF Weekly’s Best of 2013 Awards, which also gives props to our ”wide range of bizarre aural spectacles.”  Bizarre, you say? Spectacle? Indeed, and proud » more

TRR Memorial Show: Dina Doggelah, Boon Companion to Pirate Jenny & Best Tenant Counselor

May 30, 2013

The one counselor who could be guaranteed to raise every tenant’s spirits, Dina, canine companion to Pirate Jenny, died 5/28 at 14 years. Too affectionate to be a good judge of character, she did, however, tip us off to which candidates attended our endorsement meetings in an altered state. A lifelong Green,  Dina enthusiastically recycled lunch scraps from the TU wastebaskets, and could occasionally be spotted wearing the swing-through top  to one of those  wastebaskets. She will be deeply missed. » more

Radio Valencia Benefit Show!

June 18, 2013, 1:07 PM

rintin
Up and coming local band Rin Tin Tiger were kind enough to play a benefit show for the station at the 518 Valencia Galley.  Check it out, and support them when they play their next gig! HeWhoCannotBeNamed from the Dwarves played as well, and played a killer set, but the podcast for that part of the show did not record properly.  Massive thanks to both bands, however! » more

Dr. Junk Has A Theme

June 16, 2013, 11:37 PM

kidswhoarentworking
Dr. Junk was on a bit of a rant this afternoon, and Malderor was doing an “odds and sods” episode, wherein he plays off-cuts that didn’t make it onto previous setlists. Having said all that, this is a cohesive show that features new music from Asobi Seksu, Bass Drum of Death, and a track from NWA that you’ve never heard before. Oh, and happy fucking Father’s Day. 2:03pm: She Will by Savages 2:06pm: Last Call » more

Lodger
The  S.F. Silent Film Fest premieres the Hitchcock 9  national tour Friday, with SFSF’s trademark live musical accompaniments. The three-day tour presents the Master’s nine surviving silents, all recently restored by the British Film Institute—many so rare that even the most devoted cineastes haven’t seen them. Miguel Pendás has seen three. The film historian, who contributed a chapter to The San Francisco of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, drops by to talk Hitchcock. (No spoilers, we promise!) » more

Sunken Condos: We won! What the condo victory means for you (TRR, 4 p.m., Thurs.)

June 13, 2013, 11:15 AM

Screen shot 2013-06-12 at 10.37.58 PM
Tenant activism and persistence paid off Tuesday:  The Board of Supervisors approved the tenant-amended condo legislation by a veto-proof 8-3 majority, despite the last-minute efforts of pro-realtor supervisors. The measure will allow 2,000+ tenancy-in-common owners to convert to condos—and sets a 10-year moratorium on the condo lottery that currently allows 200 conversions per year. Tune in and learn what this means for your future as a tenant! » more
