The week kicks off with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White playing several just-announced all acoustic sets at Yoshi's Oakland. Then on Thursday, jangly French pop band Phoenix is at The Warfield, and their set will surely include the single "Lisztomania" (video above) from their latest album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The lyrics are charmingly foreign, including the refrain, "Lisztomania / Think less but see it grow / Like a riot, like a riot, oh ! / I'm not easily offended / It's not hard to let it go / From a mess to the masses." We think it's about socialized medicine, or something. Anyway, it's fun.
Oh, and, uh... Skynyrd, man.

Friday = Frightened Rabbittt!!!!!
What's Phoenix doing in the back yard of the Flood Mansion? Those rich old cigar chomping members might cause the band to disappear via a Bohemian Grove human sacrifice, if you know what I mean...
