Maybe nerds like dissecting religion (scientific fact: If something can be dissected, nerds will dissect it), or maybe humorous reinterpretations of biblical lore are hot for Spring 2010 indie culture. Either way, the Bible’s been catching my eye (and ear) a lot lately in ways I find genuinely interesting for the first time since I [...]

Looking for something fun to get you out of the house this gloomy Thursday? Too broke to enjoy the rest of Noise Pop? (I know I am!) Good thing this city is full of highly entertaining free crap to do — So, read on, my cabin-feverish friends! Do you like local indie rock, free [...]

It’s official: Noise Pop ’09 is here! The week long, city-wide festival kicked off last night at Mezzanine with a Toyota sponsored, icecream-filled, swagalicious, ear-melting opening party, complete with a performance by Deerhunter. I’m not much for sponsored events, or in the know about how they generally go, but this one was pretty sweet (self [...]

Check it out, ladies and gentleman — you can now get an additional weekly dose of shit-I-feel-like-talking-about at Mezzanine’s blog: MezzRx. And as if that weren’t great enough news on its own, I hear they have tons of great contests and giveaways that the masses have not yet caught on to. They do. Seriously, I [...]

Looks like somebody’s been watching a little bit too much Gossip Girl… and Clueless… and Dynasty… Rumor has it that Chinese favorite, Cho Cheng actually based this season’s look off of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless children’s story, The Little Prince, but I’m not seeing it. To me, it feels more like he heard the 80′s [...]
Who Rocks the Party that Rocks the Body?

I just had a lovely interview with the good people of Mezzanine for the upcoming spring issue of one eighty Magazine. Mezzanine is perhaps the greatest SF venue for combining music, art, film, and fashion. They’ll also be hosting Noise Pop this month, which is bound to sell out, so secure your coveted position as [...]
All Beyoncé’s Single Ladies…

First of all, I must preface this post by saying that I probably wouldn’t have considered writing it if it wasn’t for Dino, but his love of Beyoncé runs deep, and who am I to argue with such a fabulous man? That being said, I think we’ve all found ourselves at least a little bit [...]
Thorns of Life: kind of, sort of alive-ish

After waiting in the most ridiculous line the Bay Area has seen since the re-opening of the Academy of Sciences, I was not incredibly impressed by Thorns of Life. Waiting through the two bands before them didn’t help my patience either, and ultimately, I ended up leaving before the end of their set. Off With [...]
924 Gilman — awesome in high school, still awesome now.

Now, I don’t usually have the patience or the organizational wherewithal to orchestrate two amazing blog posts in one day, but today, as it turns out, is a very special day. It has just been brought to my attention that Blake Schwarzenbach (of Jets to Brazil and Jawbreaker fame) and Daniela Sea (of Moira/Max fame [...]
