As things go, it's shaping up to be a pretty kick-ass week, culturally speaking. I'm going to rock one of my lists:
1. Superchunk and Kinugasa: A Page of Madness: How cool is that? Superchunk is performing their live score to Kinusaga's 1926 film, at the Castro Theatre, no less. Jon Wurster won't be playing with them tonight, as he's already touring with Caitlin Cary, but Polvo's Ash Bowie will be filling in on percussion.
2. Les Savy Fav at Bottom of the Hill: Dude, The Fav is easily my favorite band as of right this second. Really. I can't get enough of 'em. Needless to say I'm stoked that they're in town. Listen to The Slip and Tragic Monsters.
3. GRUPO at Juice: My esteemed ex-business is returning to the world of art exhibitions with a night of work by lots of good people: Dave Fenton, Robert Guiterrez, Harrison Haynes, Amanda Hughen, Craig Melchiano, Andy Mueller, Claire Rojas, Scooter, Matt Smialek, Bill Swanson and Paul Urich. Good stuff.
4. Cowboy Bebop: I'm pretty much an anime n00b; I mean, I've seen Akira and Ghost in the Shell and some of the other biggies, but I'm pretty green to the real shit. Sooooo rad.
See you, Space Cowboy!
