Selling Out, Suitcase Bombs, Sexuality, and Putting A "Fresh Rock 'n' Roll Spin on Teen Angst"

Posted By on Tue, Jul 10, 2007 at 3:10 PM

"Are young Americans more interested in selling out than changing the world? Daniel Brook's new book argues that 20-somethings are forced to choose between living by their ideals or making a living." (Salon)

"In 1916, a bomb hidden in a suitcase exploded during a Preparedness Day parade on San Francisco's Market Street, killing 10 people and wounding 40. The parade was in support of the United States' entrance into World War I." (Earth Times)

“San Francisco loves sex. Raunchy S & M stores (that sell tight leather pants, kinky fish net stockings, and human dog collars with the “obligatory” metal spikes) abound and an unassuming pedestrian walking down Market Street will inevitably encounter a barrage of “untrustworthy” massage parlors and flashing neon lights that advertise nightly burlesque shows at each street corner. But not all the sex in San Francisco is raunchy. The city acceptingly embraces sexuality, and is open about doing so.” (San Fran Voice)

  • 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.'"
