Wallpaper, a sweet/sleazy duo from Oakland will be serenading the head-bopping Noise Pop fans at Rickshaw Stop on Saturday night. They will be opening for the hipster-loving band, Panther. Wallpaper's infectious electronic sound can be heard on their new EP, T REX that will be digitally released in late April. You might file their EP between Prince and MSTRKRFT - quite an adventure. We touched base with the lead singer who answered (quite humorously) our......

According to Justin Lamb, "there will be a politically incorrect ad campaign for fruit, a massage, He-Man erotica [an aside: while cleaning out our old bedroom the other day, our mother came across and disposed of our cherished Man-E-Faces figure. Needless to say, we are crestfallen. -- SFist], food stealing from Satan, a sex offender with low self esteem,......

Shit. It's Valentine's Day this Thursday and by the looks of it most of you have already planned your perfect date. Three shows are already completely sold-out: The Kills at Rickshaw Stop, Slightly Stoopid at The Independent and Common at Mezzanine. While there are still several shows you can chance Thursday night, it might be wise to stay home and wait till the weekend to take your crush out. We are. Friday, the local music......

-- Greg Behrendt: SF-native, author of He's Just Not That into You (comfortingly known to many a confused single gal as a symptom of Peter-Pan Syndrome), and comedian takes a break from his talk show to make you snicker/slap your knee. The sheer hilarity starts at 8 p.m. at Cobb’s Comedy Club, 915 Columbus; tickets are $25. -- Blur, "Transgender & Gender Variant" Support Group: Pretty much what it says right there; a good place......

We've gotten some great submissions in the last week, and we'll be getting those up shortly. But here's one we had to "get up" right away! This was spotted on Pine Street by eclipsetuliphead, who also captured the car with "Nothing......

From the tallest skyscraper in the City of Brotherly Love to Canadian tourism copywriting brilliance, here's what you should know from our -ist cities: This week, Phillyist took a gleeful listen to the White Stripes' exciting new release, watched in awe as their new tallest skyscraper was finally completed, found a cheaper way to get to Gothamist, invented a tasty new dessert, and brought back their Craigslist Round-Up feature with a bang. Bostonist watches......

Hey kids, it's contest time at the ole -ist as we have a two pairs of tickets to go see "David Gordon's Pick Up Performance- 'Dancing Henry Five'" at the ODC this Thursday night. What is "David Gordon's Pick Up Performance- 'Dancing Henry Five?'" Well, it's a version of Shakespeare's "Henry V" (you know, the one about Prince Hal going from drunken overgrown child to heroic leader and leading his country into a huge military victory, unlike someone we know), except done in an hour. And with dancing. And all multi-media like with recordings from Laurence Olivier and Christopher Plummer intermixed into the performance and we're guessing those recordings won't be from Clash of the Titans or the Sound of Music (although who doesn't want to hear a little "Edelweiss" now and then?) ...

Because we're not ashamed to admit we actually paid to see NSync live when we were 17, miss Justin's white boy 'fro, and still have the program from that concert somewhere in our parents' house...Because the stars finally aligned, and both Justin Timberlake AND Prince William are single (call us, Willie, we totes fancy you!)...And because we want Justin to dedicate "What Goes Around Comes Around" to Gavin Newsom when JT comes to town in September. ...

Socialite Rank awarded Victoria Traina "Chic of the Week" for the Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress she wore to the opening of the Vivienne Westwood exhibition at the de Young Museum. She also made Vogue's 10 Best Dressed this week on Style.com. Congrats, bitch! ...

SFist interviews Bart Davenport of Honeycut...

SFist inteviews Lyrics Born who is headlining the Fillmore tonight...

We know we've been talking about the Traina sisters quite a bit lately, but we can't help but comment on the mostly fierce but somewhat questionable fashion sense of the closest thing we'll ever have to the Hilton sisters. (Even though the Traina girls, like, hate being compared to the Hiltons.) This is another photo from New York Fashion Week, and, frankly, we're at a loss for words. ...

It's always a funny thing in California in that it's good when it rains despite the fact that everyone hates when it rains. Take this winter. We haven't had that much rain and there's been all this worry about their not being enough water for our reservoirs and Tahoe's economy and dear God, it's the beginning of the global warming end! But on the other hand, we don't think there's many of you who've been thinking to themselves "gosh darnit, I really miss a good rainstorm. Why can't it rain more?"...

Between fake terrorist alerts and scandals big and small, this just might be the Best Best of the -ists ever. We're exhausted just thinking about it. First up, SFist, who saw their little 'ole site be the center of what was a nice little scandal (even getting their editor on TV) only to find their scandal dwarfed by the even bigger scandal caused by their Mayor boffing one of his aides' wife. We're not just tooting our horn when we say we think SFist summed up the whole thing better than anyone: Holy Crap!!!!! ...

As the world holds it's breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Superbowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning. Austinist was in a musical frame of mind as they listened to the new Shins album, updated the SXSW band listings and got called "punk rock" for their efforts by MTV. And an ice storm swept through the area. Bostonist said goodbye to John Kerry's plans for......

-The Sierra's finally say hello to snow. -2007 is going to be the Health Care-iffic. -The San Francisco Transportation Authority is all set to begin an environmental review for a rapid transit bus line on Van Ness. How much difference in the environment could a MUNI bus being on time be?...

Breaking news on a Friday afternoon -- Gavin Newsom's chief of staff Steve Kawa has resigned. Stated reason: "I want to spend more time with my amazing family." Okay, an announcement made at 3:42 p.m. on a Friday, the spending more time with my family excuse -- obviously this is really big news! Problem is.... we have absolutely no idea what the significance of this is to the Newsom administration. Is this good for Newsom?......

Wow, there's a whole lot of benefits for worthy causes going on this weekend, as well as a head-spinning amount of other stuff to do: Friday that's tonight, and it's the kick-off for Creativity Explored's (3245 16th St. at Guerrero) Annual Holiday Art Sale, a bargain hunter’s paradise of original artwork by artists with developmental disabilities. And it’s all on sale for rock bottom prices – many items as low as $5. Creativity Explored......

[Kimberly] Guilfoyle's plump lips retreat into a Jessica Rabbit pout. "But you're hot Zoolander! Sexy Zoolander! Rrrrrrrrrrrargh Zoolander!" Thus are we introduced to New York's latest arriviste couple, The Guilfency, in October 2006's W Magazine, as Eric Villency gets called out for his sexy Blue Steel picture pose. (We cannot find an online link to this article for love or money, but we bet commenter ThatChick can!) We're sorry to tell you there is no......

She's like those paparazzi motorcyclists who killed Princess Di -- a drag-racing 18-year-old in a Mustang accidentally killed two members of the Tongan royal family on 101 in Menlo Park and their driver when she accidentally sideswiped their car Wednesday night. The teen was trying to pass them on the right, at speeds of around 80-100 mph, when she hit them, causing their SUV to roll over several times (all three victims were wearing seat......

What is it with geeks and spicy food? RSA, the computer security company, and Electronic Arts are engaged in a friendly eat-off competition at the Prince of Wales pub in San Mateo to see which local company can eat the most of the pub's signature hot pepper hamburgers, which are about a hundred times hotter than an average jalapeno (made with peppers two times as hot as the kind you buy in stores). Last year,......

We recently discovered Cafe Ponte, which knocked us the heck out . . . and we keep going back. Again and again. Cafe Ponte has a lot of charming aspects--good coffee, of course, being one of them....

We were strolling down Market St a few days ago when our eyes were caught by this fetching image -- apparently, He Who Walks Backwards has been doing so in the Castro, with a can of spray paint in hand. Ha ha ha, we love to joke about The Prince of Filth, but really this is just an advertisement for the sure-to-be-crapulent remake of The Omen. How considerate of Universal to spray paint a symbol......

Let us tell you about the birds and the trees....

Some do think of theater as church, but these would be some of the most entertaining services around....

Food & Wine has a pretty interesting take on what's good in coffee these days -- The Obsessive's Guide to Coffee.". The magazine has some purdy pictures, but you can get it all, plus more, here on the internets. We really enjoyed it, but the title of the article may be a bit off. Obsessive? Ummm, not really. No, we don't think so. Enthusiast, perhaps, would have been a better choice. An obsessive would already be doing things like . . . ...
