Day 2 of SXSW In my last post, I predicted Holy Fuck's set would be very hard to surpass. Well, I think it was at least equaled by a few artists on the bill at Barcelona—all instrumental hip-hop artists, in fact (Nosaj Thing, Free the Robots, Gaslamp Killer and Flying Lotus). Who would've thought ... More >>
In the most awesome co-headlining tour since 2004's "The Independent Tour" with Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, buzz-building Seattle-originated bands Low vs. Diamond (who were here last month opening up for Santogold) and Barcelona are currently on the road together. Cool, right? What's cooler is t ... More >>

Oh, Wednesdays. To paraphrase Kris Kristofferson, there's something 'bout a Wednesday that makes a concert-goer feel alone. There's never too much going on 'round the ol' county on a Wednesday, but tonight there is this show at Chain Reaction: Virginia's Mae, pictured, along with Barcelona, Person L ... More >>
Nick Jr.'s Yo Gabba Gabba! isn't a typical kiddie fare and anyone that's into music should know that by now, and it's not just those oddly appealing monsters and robots like the Gary Baseman-esque Muno. The show--co-created by Huntington Beach resident/Aquabats lead singer Christian Jacobs, by th ... More >>
Some would credit Europe with this thing we call electronic dance music by pointing back to the pioneering work of Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder and Can. They would be half right: Contemporary electronic dance music, like blues, rock and jazz, is a progeny of the interplay between black and white music ... More >>
Dave LiebermanAs I was scarfing down empanadas today at El Gaucho #2 in Anaheim, my eyes were drawn to cases and cases of wine below the all-fútbol-all-the-tiempo big-screen TVs. Cases of wine are not exactly out of place in an Argentine market with a fantastic sandwich counter, but somehow this ... More >>
The Alice Walker school of California cooking--the immaculate, jewel-like vegetables, the artisan oils and vinegars, the painstakingly sourced meats--has at times been leveled with the criticism that it is not, in fact, cooking, but assembling. How much talent or skill does it take to make the best ... More >>
We've posted already about the wonders of baby garlic; its flavor when raw is actually stronger than its bulbous, papery big brother, but when cooked mellows to a slightly grassy sweetness. Scallions are common, but can actually be sharper than new onions; leeks are well-known but are not really mea ... More >>
You didn't think that this food truck thing was even close to being done, did you? Our friend Brekkie Fan has tipped me off that Barcelona On The Go is making their debut this Saturday, February 20th, from 3 p.m.-8 p.m. at Hi Time Wine Cellars 250 Ogle Street, Costa Mesa. Among their menu it ... More >>
Dave LiebermanThe food truck frenzy continues apace: this weekend saw the launch of the Barcelona On the Go truck at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa. When I arrived at 3:30, the line was about twelve people long; when I got to the front, the line had grown to about twenty, and when I left at a ... More >>
The problem with wine tasting is that the palate-cleansing oyster crackers they give out are short on flavor (which is probably the point). Wine lovers in Costa Mesa, however, have an option, at least Fridays in April.Dave Lieberman

Edwin GoeiBarcelona OnTheGo, the OC-based Spanish/Argentinean food truck, announced via Twitter and Facebook that they've been selected by Disney's California Adventure out of "an extensive list of truck/vendors." Their job? To cater to crowds at the park's new World of Color event.

Courtesy of Barcelona on the GoHey OC! Are you jealous of the food truck lots up in LA, where several trucks join to create a tasty, mobile food court? Languish no more in your envy: Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., OC will host its first food truck lot.
Niyaz and Jeff at the Register's Food Frenzy blog have posted their list of picks for tomorrow's OC Foodie Fest at the Honda Center in Anaheim, and for the most part, we agree. Since there will be 50 trucks, obviously no single person can try all of them. Here are our choices.

Edwin GoeiWhat is anything these days without a whole bunch of food trucks. This post marks, I think, the third, maybe fourth, food truck gathering I've mentioned on the blog this week.

Photo by Christopher VictorioLast week, more than most weeks, was a food truck lover's week. I got wind of three events bringing together roaming luxe-loncheras at three separate venues.

One of their beauties... This is actually a cool honor: QSR Magazine put Crepes Bonaparte on its list of the top 20 food trucks (really, luxe loncheras because not a single actual lonchera was mentioned).

Photo by Christopher VictorioI was thinking of making a list that included ALL loncheras, luxe and not, but it'd be a wash: loncheras in a landslide.
