*MUSIC: You know that song at the end of Juno, "Anyone Else But You"? The one Ellen Page and Michael Cera sing to one another? And it's all cute and sad? Well,it was co-written and originally recorded by Kimya Dawson, former half of the Moldy Peaches, and she's over in the East Bay tonight at 924 Gilman. She performs along with Angelo Spencer at this all-ages show. (No booze allowed, by the way.) .......

While we can't agree with Grandma Joy on her dismissive review of There Will Be Blood, because our love for self-indulgent vanity pieces knows no limits, we can agree that "Movies With Grandma Joy" is adorably informative, addictive. She even reenacts a violent scene from the PT Anderson gem, so be sure to check it out. While you're at it, Joy also reviews Juno and No Country For Old Men -- perfect viewing before......

Each Tuesday we will feature new music that should (or whatever) be on your radar. Standouts: 1.

Music starts at 9 p.m. at Elbo Room; $7 Juno (2007): Yeah, yeah - it's not a locally-produced event, or whatever, but we implore you to see it.......

The Bay Area is home to many intriguing small businesses. Still, color us surprised that we've found in Juno Baby a local purveyor of high-quality children's educational products that manages to encapsulate what we like best in a company. ...

Who saw We Are Scientists at the Warfield last night? Perhaps the thing we like most about W.A.S. is how they make the most out of what they've got. They've trimmed the fat. There are no five-string basses or extraneous conga players. The drummer's kit is tastefully small. Everyone in the wiry trio does double duty, playing their instrument and singing along on harmony. And even though a lot of their sound relies on of-the-moment......
