So, I finally got around to posting some photos from MCMF. Yeah, they are kind of dark! But, my thumb isn’t in most of them so I am way on top of my game with these!
I really wish I’d gotten some photos at all of the shows I went to, especially the Connie Fucking Francis/Wobbly/Total Annihilation/Fierce Antler show! This was a costumed extravaganza — Total Anhilation dressed like it was halloween, fierce antler dressed for the gym, and the girl from CFF smears her eye shadow just right. No costumes for Wobbly though, his laptop is too academic for that!
Where are the rest of MCMF photos?
Also, is it just me or does flickr need a better way to post/share a set? Getting these up was annoying!
Hello Dear Readers! Awhile back we posted about Shameless in San Francisco. This is the concept, if you put us on your guestlist, we’ll review your show and write about it on World Famous in SF! Well, we have been offered tickets to the Passionistas record release show as part of the Shameless in San Francisco campaign! We will write about every aspect of this show. You should check it out too! Say hi to us, we’ll have clipboards and will be wearing glasses. We’ll also be holding a microphone taping the show so we can compare our notes while listening to the Passionistas actual performance.
Here’s the details!

What is up with boring music blogs? A quick search of the hype machine or elbo.ws reveals page after page of blogs talking about the exact same music that can be read about on pitchfork. Most of the time, and I know I’m out of step with the rest of the kids, I didn’t care about it when I read it on pitchfork.
Here are two blogs out of SF which especially irk me:
www.stereoscope.fm — why not just take this whole site down and put a link to pitchfork in its place?
www.indiebears.com — the same could be said here, except these guys have the good sense to atleast inject their own personal stories into the mix. Hilariously, (unintentionally so?), the first thing these bears talk about is eating and the last thing they talk about is eating. Write what you know I guess…
Here’s three blogs I like (one from SF, two from LA):
cobaininacoma.blogspot.com — a radio show, music video mondays and entries about acts local to SF and LA make up for detailed reviews of the new LCD soundsystem record.
www.eggcityradio.com — formally postpunkjunk. Apart from his prog fascination — a cable access show, obscure album rips, themed semiweekly mixes. Fun!
www.donnalethal.com — While this isn’t really a music blog, ms. lethal is seriously funny and name checks Reid Paley, whom I don’t really like but is a name I haven’t heard since I left Pittsburgh.
wow, something to do in this ghost town!
this should be adequately retarded. see you there?
We never see any of you out at shows! Are you really that busy? Too shy to say hi? Or Life in the city has you so busy you forget when stuff is happening? Are we too wordy?
If you’re forgetful, or don’t like to read, our friend Lauren G can help you out! She’s broadcasting (short) text messages full of show reminders and other timely news about the bands we’re always talking about. She’s got gig with this company called 80108.com and they call what she’s doing a thumbcast. Isn’t that cute and current and so tech savy? You thought you were hip reading a blog, but we’ll show you yet!
Text SFANTIPOP to 80108 to get in on the fun.
