The Snatch: We're Pretty Much the Worst This Week

Red Alert

If you had an inkling that Rush Limbaugh left KSFO, then you'll be thrilled to learn he's coming back. (Perhaps you're also the knowledgeable listener who capably picked July 16 of last year in the "What day will Rush Limbaugh finally use the N-word on the air?" pool.) Well, lucky you: KSFO, the self-proclaimed "voice of conservatism in the Bay Area" announced a forthcoming lineup of Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity joining Michael Savage, Mark Levin, and Brian Sussman. The aforementioned lineup will offer up their fulminations to San Francisco listeners from 5 a.m. to midnight weekdays starting on Sept. 28. And, in doing so, a cruel new bet is now on the table: Loser must wake up at 4:59 and listen to 17 consecutive hours of KSFO. But remember: Too much red meat can damage your brain.

City of Assholes

We don't tend to take unscientific studies seriously, but there's some new information circulating the internet last week that got us thinking deeply: Is San Francisco a city made up of complete assholes? According to Movoto.com, a San Francisco-based real estate blog, all signs point to "yes, definitely." The researchers over there crunched some data to determine which cities were the snobbiest in America, judging by cost of living, lack of fast food, education and income levels, and the number of art galleries and private schools. Turns out, San Francisco's penchant for Google Glass, overpriced bread, and white people with internet access (okay, those are our words, not theirs) has earned us the snobbiest city title. From the blog itself: "[O]ut of all of the places in the U.S., San Francisco had the highest median home price at $785,200. It also came in No. 1 for its number of art galleries per capita, No. 6 for the nearly 52 percent of the population who have graduated from college, and No. 7 for a median household income of $71,304. It's not easy being rich, smart, and overeducated, is it?

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
