In the past Download featured big names like the killers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, The Cure, Afi, Modest Mouse, and Arcade Fire... but this years turns into a super indie dance fest with gang of four, Jesus Mary and Chain Datarock and Cut copy as some of the bands to enjoy. An interesting twist to the festival is all tickets are 20 dollars and Brian Posehn from Sarah Silverman program, will be doing a comedy set. Tickets are on sale now.

Wednesday nights are a good night

until blasthaus gets involved and tries to make you pay for the people they get to dj. Infatuation is a weekly party that has no cover, free drinks during happy hour and 2 -1 drinks all night. Vessel is a really nice spots with lounges, a small nasty smoking area, and a huge bar. Check it out every wednesdays.

missingout in sf

I went to the apple store with my boo. Islands were playing later this afternoon starting at 1:30pm.
they are also playing at bimbos 365 tonight. I really wanted to go but couldnt because i came to visit my family in san francisco.
Im sorry i missed fathers day to watch the Dogg Father in San Francisco at the fillmore. Pretty amazing since i saw him walk in. i even talked to him, but he didnt say anything because it was immediately after he walked in. The show was so good and they played songs by
Tommorrow Broken Spindles play a showat cafe du nord. hopefully someone will tell me about it because I love the faint and Joel is one of the nicest dudes i have ever met in a band.

GIRL TALKS MYSTERIOUS POST

today on GIRL TALKS myspace, Greg Gillis posted a new song. its not really a song.
it sounds funny and distorted, until you reverse the audio and speed it up. you could hear the
murmer of a person saying FEED THE ANIMALS. I recorded, made an image, and posted the video to a pic with some motion so more could hear the cryptic song. I had nothing better to do today.

WHAT was missed, what i didnt miss

DAVE FUCKING CHAPELLE i missed.
he did a few shows at the punchline agian this passed monday- wednesday.
these are always impromptu gigs that go on sale the day he decides he wants to do the show. they always sell out instantly and are the most intimate gigs you will ever see out of this brilliant comic.

I did catch the Ting Tings at Popscene on thursday. The show was really packed and all the tall
people in sf decided to come to this show. the band was awesome. two of the most intersting and unique bodies to come onto the music scene in a while.

Finally, Last night at the Mezzanine was Lifelike and Alan Braxe. This was a hot show. the dj setup enhanced seeing the artist from all around the venue. Both dj's played banging sets and jams that we would be be familar with from all those years of watching MTV shows. Great song and dance party at the mezzanine.

TOP PICKS FOR TONIGHT

Last night hot party was crystal castles. The show was overly sold and i didnt have a ticket. we waited outside, even asked the roadie tech to help and eric, the drummer for crystal castles an exchange of weed to get us in. we found tickets from some randoms for reasonable prices and danced the night off. They were awesome, but played for too short. no complaints here, there mezzanine a little less then a year ago was more outrageous but still a good time at the independent. 
Shitdisco played a DJ set the night of bfd at the afterparty. They opened the show along with Omar to play with Motor, MSTRKRFT, and Moby. 
Shitdisco is set to play yet another DJ tonight at VESSEL. Should be fun especially since there isn't any cover charge and 2 for 1 drinks all night. 

If your into dj and dance from songs you are familiar with but dont know who plays them then checkout LIFELIKE and ALAN BRAXE this friday at the Mezzanine. presale tickets are on sale now and will go up at the door come friday.
