Birds & Batteries Release 'Panorama:' Sneak a Listen
Hot off the heels of their 2009 EP, Birds & Batteries had everyone from the likes of Pitchfork and Rolling Stone buzzing. With praises like, “[Up To No Good is] a bit like a high-concept mashup, this fusion of two of the slickest eras of pop production produces some polished results,” we couldn’t help but perch on the edge of our seat waiting for their next move.
Spooky Centerpieces from Paxton Gate
We're just weeks away from Halloween, and even if you won't be dressing up for the holiday, trimming your home with spooky decorations is, while not mandatory, the sign that you're still at least somewhat getting into the spirit. But aside from the token jack-o'-lantern, what to do to get your house ready for All Hallows' Eve?
This Week's Hottest Events: Mad Men, Treasure Island Music Fest, and the Capsule Design Festival
Discussion: Mad Men's Creator Matthew Weiner
The ad-tastic AMC series that has us plugged in every Sunday has been racking up awards and praise since the beginning, so it's no surprise that the JCC's discussion with creator and executive producer Matthew Weiner is sold out. Lucky for you, the center is simulcasting the lecture in Fisher Hall, for which tickets are still available. Dress the part and get ready to have your picture taken, Mad Men-style. $10; Wednesday 10/13; The Jewish Community Center, 3200 California St., jccsf.org
Photos: Spinsters of San Francisco: Fleet of Flight!
On October 8, 2010, the Spinsters of San Francisco kicked off their 81st year with the much anticipated Fleet or Flight party at the internationally-acclaimed supperclub (657 Harrison Street, San Francisco). More than 300 tickets were sold to benefit the non-profit City of Dreams.
Happy Columbus Day, Go Giants, Etc.
Who has Columbus Day off? We do. (Score).
We're out enjoying the weather, pumpkin-gathering and psyching up for tonight's game. Towards that end, check out this video from White Collar Brawler. Go Giants!
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1895 Alamo Square 1 Bdrm
Everyone has their personal Holy Grail of apartment amenities–you know, that perfect combination of home features that always seems to elude you in your hunt. For me, it's a place with hardwood floors that allows doggies. For under $2000, it's surprisingly hard to find. But today it caught my eye like a needle glimmering in a stack of hay; yes, this week's Craigslist Deal has got all my requirements, and then some.
