Wholphin Screening @ ATA (Fri.) Check out another creative wing of the Dave Eggers publishing empire with a screening for the new edition of Wholphin, a DVD magazine of "unseen films." Highlights from issue 10 include a Spike Jonze/Catherine Keener short where they act out a childhood memory from Maurice Sendak, and a young Todd Haynes in "He Was Once." A selection of short films from people with long resumes kicks off tonight at ATA. ($6, 8 p.m.)
KUSF Rock 'n' Swap Pre-Party (Fri.) and Rock 'n' Swap For Real (Sun.) One of our favorite local community stations, 90.3 KUSF, has hit hard times. Its DJs regularly complain of broken turntables, fer chrissakes. Instead of regular pledge drives, though, KUSF hosts regular Rock 'n' Swaps, gigantic flea markets of vinyl, CDs, music DVDs, and more held on the USF campus. The next Swap is on Sunday, where $3 gets you entry between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. (hard-core music nerds pay $20 for the early-bird admission between 6 and 10 a.m.). If you want to start the KUSF donations early, hit Poleng Lounge on Friday night for FutureClassic with DJs Natural Self, J-Boogie, B-Cause, Proof, and more. ($5-$10, 10 p.m.)

Style(s) of music you spin: house, house, HOUSE!
So what's your story, in 100 words or less? Just a kid who fell in love with house music, dedicated my life to it, and never looked back.
When and why did you leave San Francisco? I moved to LA not too long ago because I was feeling creatively stagnant and was looking for a place with warmer weather. Also many of my closest friends live here so I had a nice social network already. I like visiting SF though! I spent 12 years there.
What do you miss most about living here? One word... Tartine.
