Sorry for the absence of this here column last week; I got hit with an acute case of tonsillitis which definitely killed my Monday pretty badly. Felt like I was swallowing razorblades….but the good news is that it got me to the doctor to get some killer horse-pills to clear my junk up, so I ended up catching a few good live shows last week when all was said and done. More on that to come, but for now let’s dive into the cool music coming through San Francisco this week that you all should be paying attention to. READ MORE
Welcome to Bumbershoot!
Well, it’s been a long week of recovering from “festival flu” after just two days at Bumbershoot 2010; it was so bad that we couldn’t get out of bed Monday morning to catch the last day of the festival. We did, however, make it to the second day and snapped some good photos from the Sunday sets. READ MORE

The lineup for
Bumbershoot 2010 in Seattle was just announced, too. They’ve tapped
Bob Dylan,
Mary J. Blige,
Weezer,
Hole and more for this year’s festival set for Labor Day weekend, which is marking the 40th year that the event has been taking place. Our buddy
Kane will likely be there covering the event for us, and he already pinged me and said he’s looking forward to the event.
Read on for the full lineup… READ MORE
I’m up absurdly early this morning with too much on my mind, so I may go down to Golden Gate Park to see Ra Ra Riot for the first time. They’re playing a free show there in an hour or so for anybody that’s local and/or awake.
On Sunday, July 12th from 9am-10am we are hosting our 3rd “Live & Local” picnic with Barsuk Record’s Ra Ra Riot. The band will be performing a one hour acoustic set in Golden Gate Park for their San Francisco fans and this will be filmed as part of our new series. If possible, please help us spread the word about this free show by reposting the link below.
Here’s a map to the breakfast session.
