We'd like to thank SFist Rita for sharing weekly-reading duties! Last week's winner: the SF Weekly. Spare the glare - oops, the fancy new Federal Building's got some lighting and climate control issues. Cover article: The SF International Film Festival keeps on keeping on and tries to attract young audiences with downloadable movies (what beautiful cinematography, well, it's probably beautiful, from what I can infer from the teensy screen of the video iPod ... even better than heralding the lush production values of a song as heard on myspace played through one's laptop, but we digress). More SFIFF: Documentaries are awesome, Local Filmmakers are great, too, plus Asian Imports. Not so great: Matt Gonzales' art says Tiffany Martini. We totally thought Tiffany Martini was a pseudonym for Matt Smith, but apparently she's real. Also, don't make the same mistake we did and read Meredith Brody's burger and lobster elegy after the Vaginal Birth After Cesarian article, though maybe we're unique in feeling nauseous at the thought of ruptured uteruses.

Next, the Bay Guardian. Small Business Awards. Fight for your right to party outdoors . The new new 49ers stadium idea might displace a heckuva lot of artists. OMG it's the SF International Film Festival (links to 11 different featurettes). Sonic Reducer: the Klaxons come clean about ripping off ELO. To Live And Shave in L.A.is a band name that amuses us greatly, though the fact there was a To Live and Shave in L.A. 2 amused us even more. KUSF celebrates its 30th birthday (prompting us to contemplate what kind of sushi we would be). KUSF's horoscope: You roll slow. Hella slow.

After the jump: will the San Jose Metro and the East Bay Express deluge us with SFIFF coverage, the Weekly of the Week, and the YTD!

The SJ Metro: The trials and tribulations of live music in San Jose (mentions Buck Naked & the Barebottom Boys ... they were up there with the Diesel Queens in late 80s South Bay trash-rock!). Annalee Newitz on the government controlling women's bodies. Cover article: Japanese food that isn't sushi. The South Bay's got a lot of symphonies.

And the East Bay Express: Another cover story by Music Editor David Downs where he writes about the biz and avoids writing about actual music. In his interview with the Gracenote guy, David picks Megadeth to test their system. (we wonder if Mr. Downs can relate to Dave Mustaine's inferiority complex about being booted out of Metallica.) Seriously, David Downs writes less about music than Meredith Brody writes about food. Oops, that Oakland petition that got invalidated wanting to put the Oak-to-Ninth mega-development to the voters because of missing stuff, well the Oakland City Council approved the development with the same stuff missing from their packets. Letter from the developer of those leaky condos. No cornucopia of SFIFF articles, book section instead.

Weekly of the Week: Well our horoscope this week said that we should head off on a whole new route. So, while our knee-jerk reaction would be to award it to the Guardian for most entertaining band name featured in an article, because really, the weeklies were all pretty awesome this week, we're going with the SF Weekly because of the impressive physical reaction perpetrated by the one-two punch of ruptured uteruses and Meredith Brody's burger article. We're also hoping David Downs heads off on a whole new route and writes about music: maybe he can write a record review of To Live and Shave in L.A. 2!

YTD count: SF Weekly: 6 (this week's winner!). SFBG: 5, EBX: 4, Metro: 3.
