Get ready for this year's Mavericks Surf Contest. No seriously, you better be ready because there's no set date. Instead, the event will be held any day from now until March 31, whenever the waves are just perfect. And when that day comes, they're promising a lineup of Bay Area bands for your listening pleasure. Check out the tentative music line up, then keep visiting the Mavericks Surf Pulse to find out when the contest gets the green light. -- Oscar Pascual

With their new album "Lucky" slated to be released next month, the Nada Surf boys are making an SF stop during their newly announced tour. The press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASENada Surf Announces Spring 2008 Tour
Barsuk Records is proud to announce Nada Surf's Spring 2008 tour. Starting at SXSW, the tour will see the band supporting their forthcoming full-length release "Lucky" due out on February 5th, 2008.
This just in, Radiohead announces the "markets" they will play in America. And yes, SF makes the cut. Suhhhweet!. No dates set yet. And where would they play? I could imagine them at the Greek. They seem to care about public transportation to their events. Carbon footprints and all that. Full release after the jump. -VVM Staff Report
Selected music from the SF Weekly Music Section. All these bands play this week in SF. Go check out said interviews and profiles.
If you like naked women, couches, shoes and the occasional pet -- and I know you do -- then you'll want to check out local photographer merkley???'s latest book of portraits. The book release party is happening this Friday, January 11th, at 111 Minna Gallery, and who knows, you might even meet some of the models. And yes, I'll use just about any excuse to post nudity here on All Shook Down.
