Ladies and gentlemen, the returning champ, the East Bay Express! Make your Best of the East Bay nominations now! People in Contra Costa don't appreciate public access TV. Can collectors aren't making as much money now that Oakland's giving everyone big recycling bins. Cover article: Baby boomers are making it unpleasant for other senior citizens in nursing homes. Addis Ethiopian in Oakland has new management that cooks better. Food cartoonist: Is Legendary Palace really legendary? And Savage Love: teenage boys looking for dates, meeting online buddies in real life, and someone bragging about sexual exploits.
The SF Weekly: Cover article: Music special! Though, and we hate to quibble, but we think we've seen this cover art, with the tape-embossed lettering, on the Weekly a lot recently. Maybe mix it up a little? Harmon Leon reports on the white supremacist hate mail he's gotten post-Applebees, Nate Cavalieri follows a documentary film maker making movies for advertisers. So yeah! The music special! An article about Quannum Records and SFist's very own favorite hip-hop mogul! Yay SFist Isaac! Fun blurbs about musicians' day jobs, a very detailed article on how to get signed to a record label, SuperDiamond made almost $1 million last year, what it's like to work at GuitarWorld, and a whole lot of info on Bay Area music today.
Our favorite ex-Examiner reporter in the Bay Guardian, no Metro this week, and the WRTW weekly pick of the litter, after the jump.
The Guardian: Also focusing on music! And an extensive pullout section sponsored by Rasputin Records that looks suspiciously like the Weekly's, complete with profile of Quannum (except it's spelled "Quanum" throughout). The Examiner is kicking the Chron's ass -- thanks, Adriel Hampton! Don't forget the anti-war protest this Saturday. Where are all the homeless people in SF? Beats Newsom. Annalee Newitz hilariously theorizing that the new draconian bankruptcy laws are the Bush administration's conspiratorial attempt to get cheaper labor in the U.S. Cover article: Bay Area hip-hop (it all comes back to the Digital Underground. Do the humpty hump!)
And the Weekly of the Week? Goes to.... the Weekly! To win the weekly of the week award, you must spell "Quannum" correctly. (It's probably not the Guardian's fault, we're sure it was Rasputin's copy-editing error -- but still!)
