Just look at the cornucopia of musical entertainment options you have for this week! (Yes, we're pulling out the Thanksgiving-themed "horn of plenty" reference a week early). Read on for a bounty of opportunities to support local artists, flash back with old favorites and check out the up-and-comers you've read about elsewhere in the blogosphere.

It pleases us that MTV2's Subterranean has taken to airing the video for local band Communique's "Perfect Weapon" as of late. Join SFist Alex to check out the melodic dance pop of their latest release "Poison Arrows" (Lookout! Records) tonight at Bottom of the Hill. SFist Isaac recommends three shows tonight: MF Doom and Brother Ali at Slim's, Stinky's Peep Show at Cafe du Nord, and the guest DJ appearance by Le Tigre's Kathleen Hanna at Popscene. (Find the answer to the question "Which Kathleen Hanna are you?" here.) If singer-songwriters are more your speed, head down to Hotel Utah for sets by Peter Salett and Gram Rabbit. Fans of ridiculous sketch comedy might recognize Salett as "Guitar Dude" from Wet Hot American Summer. Check out the comedian cameos in his video for "With Anybody Else."

If you fancy appearing on BBC's Top of the Pops, then be in the audience at 330 Ritch on Friday for a Popscene live set with The Futureheads and Razorlight. Click here to listen to Razorlight and here for The Futureheads. Support local music at any number of shows, including troubadour and traffic cone fetishist Kelley Stoltz's set at 12 Galaxies, The Evening's dark electro-rock recital at Bottom of the Hill or Cake's concert at the Warfield (don't miss The Walkmen's opening set or their appearance tonight on The O.C.). At the Fillmore, let the Le Tigre fans unite! (That includes SFists Eve, Alex and Isaac). If you're nostalgic for the hard rock of yesteryear, you have oh so many options. Girlschool, the all female Motorhead protegees from the UK, is playing at Cafe Du Nord, The Cardboard Vampyres featuring Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains) and Billy Duffy (The Cult) are at Slim's and UFO is at Pound SF. ROCK.

Saturday night Mesh Magazine celebrates their first anniversary at Rickshaw Stop with a show featuring Willpower, Madelia, Mall and DJ Vin Sol. Dischord veterans Lungfish are playing at Slim's. We found this description of Lungfish on their booking agent's website: "The group's consciousness simultaneously coalesces and disperses creating a continuous quasi-musical pulse which reaches climax at semi-monthly public performances in the United States of America." If you understood that sentence, perhaps you will enjoy their show. Alt-country fans should check out locals the The Court and Spark at Cafe Du Nord with Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter. Rockists can shimmy to the garage rock of The Makers at Bottom of the Hill

Sunday brings former Lemonhead Evan Dando to Bottom of the Hill for a solo show with locals Loquat opening. SFist Isaac has two suggestions for Monday: Soft Pink Truth at Mighty and, for the strong of stomach, the metal gross-out of GWAR at DNA Lounge. On Wednesday roll down to the Fillmore for a heapin' helpin' of hiphop from the Cali Comm 2004 tour featuring Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Haiku D'Etat (w/Aceyalone, Abstract Rude and Mikah 9), Zion I, and Bukue One.
