The Week Ahead: Bay Area Concerts

by Moses Namkung

No, Radiohead's not coming back to SF anytime soon. Sorry. However, we just came across a mother lode. Maybe we're a few weeks or months late in discovering this or something... but we've been voraciously consuming this full-length concert from 2008 and their In Rainbows tour - it'll probably be a better experience than seeing the band at Outside Lands last year. Watch it (while you can?) in your cube, HD, full-screened... we dare you. If you want to waste many, many more hours, AustinBrock somehow has tons more HD footage.

But on to this week. Ahem: we'll be going to Bimbo's tonight to see the Vaselines, then will spend the rest of the week counting down the days to Bay To Breakers.
