SFist Jon and SFist Chris went to last night's Wolfmother show at the Fillmore. Opening up for them was Live 105 fave Silversun Pickups and some other band we'll get to. Thus explaining SFist's hangover today. Instead of doing a full on review, we thought we'd let SFist Jon and SFist Chris discuss the concert, that is what they can remember of it. And you know what this means? A whole post in first person!...

"I got a meetin' in the ladies room. I'll be back real soon." -- Klymaxx Who's excited for the Art & Soul Festival in Oakland this weekend? What? Well you should be! Three days of music for only $5 a day, and a crazy eclectic lineup of world, jazz, dance, r&b and indie rock that's bound to please everyone.

We exited the Castro Muni station a little after 6 last night, and were immediately completely soaked (amazingly, our SFist messenger bag remained impervious to the elements). The cause of the deluge:......

We're shipping off to SXSW on Saturday, and even though we're in for a ton of music in Austin we're really sad about what we'll be missing here in San Francisco. For instance, this weekend we're missing some of our favorite bands including Silversun Pickups, Virgil Shaw, and Electric Six at the Independent (say hello to our buddy John R. Dequindre for us). We're sending one of you to a show we wish we could......

SFist contributor and virtual TV pundit Rain Jokinen offers her Bay-area-centric TV picks of the week SFist does not deny that a lot of head-burying has occurred this week. Post-election blues lead to a lot of TV watching, much of it pure escapism. Nothing dulls the pain like a good episode of The Surreal Life. And if Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen can find love with each other, perhaps there is hope for the country!......
