The Mug Shot

If anybody deverves to be World Famous in San Francisco it’s this guy. Matier and Ross, in this weekend’s SF Gate, dubbed him “the fire-starting, tomato-tossing boyfriend of new San Francisco Planning Director John Rahaim”

His real name is Lance Farber, he’s a chiropractor and wouldn’t you know it, like me he’s originally from Michigan. Those mid-westerners are such nice people. Salt of the earth and all. I have to admit, I love this guy. Who hasn’t wanted to light their boyfriends bed on fire at one time or another? I have ever since I saw Farrah Fawcett in that awesome TV Movie.

I did a little internet snooping on Lance, found his New Age chiropractic website and this little graphic displayed on it made me chuckle:

It neatly sums up his alcohol-fueled lovers’ spat (in court Farber pled guilty to setting a bed on fire and tossing an open can of tomatoes through the city’s historic fire chief’s house, staining the walls, causing close to $50,000 in damage). Think about it, the experience must have been “emotional”, the damage “structural”, and the effects from alcohol “biochemical”!

Friends and family insist Farber is no danger to the public and needs treatment for alcohol addiction. His pleading guilty has secured his release from jail. I think he needs to drop the “new age” spiritualism. That shit will make you crazy. I think the gay rock & roll community needs to show it’s love and support for this guy. We should throw a benefit to help out with his legal troubles. San Francisco needs to show Lance Farber the love. Maybe Puce Moment, The Passionistas and Carletta Sue Kay could put on a show with proceeds going to Lance. I’m sure the 30 bucks we raised would come in real handy right about now.

Today we are (kinda) hip to the internet trends. A muxtape for you with some bands we’ve talked about over the past year. Except for the Hard Place and Mon Cousin Belge songs, both of which come from albums out on our label World Famous in San Francisco, these songs were all totally available for free on the WWW so don’t get mad at me for stealing, ok?

1. Girls – Lust For Life
2. The Passionistas – Don’t Hit Snooze (Live)
3. Hard Place – Mondays Are For Working
4. Mon Cousin Belge – Tweaker Bitch
5. Factrix – Splice Of Life
6. Bridez – Steal Drums
7. Sic Alps – Semi Streets
8. Fuckwolf – Mardi Gras
9. Jealousy – I Would Do That For Him
10. The Passionistas – Little Dark Room (Live)
11. Nothing People – Falling
12. Connie Fucking Francis – Where The Boys Are (Live)

I dunno if you caught that in the last post, but World Famous in SF is now not only a trail blazing blog but (probably) your new favorite label. Actually, I think we’ve slyly referenced it a few times in the past. Those of you that have caught on already know that we have an awesome logo which was designed by Hazel Hill:

But we also have:

• An awesome website (http://www.worldfamousisnf.com)
• A spiffy new myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/worldfamousinsanfrancisco)

Sorry, yes we have to become friends all over again for a second time. Its going to be so fun rediscovering each other though!

• An awesome first release, Get Your Hopes Up by Hard Place which is out now and on sale over at the website
  
• More releases on the way from Mon Cousin Belge and The Passionistas

We’re totally excited, we hope you are too. A brief poll of our closest friends says you should be. Come <check us out!
