Later this year, former San Jose resident and onetime Lindsay Buckingham lover Stevie Nicks will grace the stage at The Fillmore on October 8-9. This is the most exciting and bewitching thing that will happen in San Francisco, ever. She will play here to support her latest effort, In Your Dreams. She will also hit the floorboards at the Saratoga Mountain Winery.
Stevie Nicks Coming To The Fillmore In October
Afternoon Palate Cleanser: Happy Birthday, Stevie Nicks!
One lucky make-up artist gets a special treat as Stevie Nicks sings the chorus of "Wild Heart" at her during a photo shoot for Rolling Stone. This was back in her Fleetwood Mac days, hence the rapid-fire chitchat after the song ends. Mere words fail to describe how we feel about this footage, which we've listened to over and over and over again. Enjoy.
Afternoon Palate Cleanser: Stevie Nicks "Storms" Demo
In honor of typhoon Melor and the impending five inches of rain with which she'll blanket the Bay Area starting tonight, we present to you a demo of Stevie Nicks' "Storms," one of the greatest songs about a storm (and yet so much more) ever written.
SFist Tonight
"Oracle World Wasted My Ambien!"
We received a few messages this morning of sleeplessness regarding last night's Oracle Open World finale. Even the enchanting Stevie Nick's couldn't keep SF residents from calling the cops to ask what the hell was going on.
Oracle Open World Chaos to Commence
You think Hallwoeen on the Castro is a nightmare of douche-baggie proportions? Try the Oracle Open World 2007 convention, which is happening this Sunday, November 11 through Thursday, November 15. And it sucks for us plebeians. Imagine nerds and sales tools infused with a false sense of power. (Except for any Oracle SFist reader; you're all golden.) Imagine nasty Oracle PR bitches who hangup on local media outlets trying to get a modicum of...
We Read The Weeklies
Last week's winner, the new tabloid-style redesigned Bay Guardian. Pool of blood! Murders! Headless Body In Topless Bar! All for their 40th anniversary. Looks good -- but this type is hard to read. Various outrages in our city. And man, we thought this "Wade versus Redmond" ad on page 17 for the Third Street Gym referred to Tim Redmond. The redesign's throwing off our skim-o-tron! Cover: The SFPD ignoring Asian-American gang stabbings in the Tenderloin. And Sonic Reducer declined to go to a party with a Fleetwood Mac cover band featuring Joanna Newsom as Stevie Nicks!?!!?!??! (Well, it was raining pretty hard last week....)
Making a triumphant return, the San Jose Metro!. Second Amendment advocates in San Jose use Chris Daly's own Prop H to get the right to bear arms into the state Constitution. Please, no more propositions! Haven't we learned from our mistakes of the past? Cover article: excellent Chinese subregional food in Milpitas (Darda rules). Why do alternative-rock listeners have to go all anti-Latino about the switchover at 104.9? And SFist Eve's horoscope: she should expand her spiritual life.
After the jump, the two New Times publications (the Weekly and the EBX).
