Thursday is the final installment of this season's Matcha series at the Asian Art Museum, and the theme is Thai River Festival, a very special Loi Krathong celebration.

Hmm. We're not sure where most of you stand on Lady Gaga. Many of you claim to loathe her, some of you secretly love her. Why, it was just a few months ago in March that she was performing at Mezzanine and 715 Harrison. Now she's canceling her tour with Kanye West, wearing bubbles, and hanging out with Madonna.

On Sunday night, the irreverent Lewis Black will tear into his favorite subjects, such as politics, religion, and "other American foolishness," live and uncensored in Back in Black, a conversation with former Air America Radio host and "sometime feral cat wrangler" Marc Maron. Black will also discuss his book We of Little Faith, and there will be an audience Q & A and book signing. All proceeds will benefit Litquake, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary.

If you're planning to purchase lawn tickets for any Shoreline Amphitheatre concerts this summer, be sure to get them via Live Nation on a select No Service Fee Wednesday, including today, for an all-in-one price of $24.99. This is an especially great deal for concerts such as Depeche Mode and Def Leppard/Poison/Cheap Trick, where regular lawn tickets start at $40, once all of the annoying service fees are factored in.

Single-day tickets for Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival go on sale Sunday. Yay, you! On June 21 at 10 a.m., you can buy single-day tickets to see such critically-lavished acts as Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band and Beastie Boys, Tom Jones, Modest Mouse, and M.I.A., just to name a few. You can buy them at at www.SFOutsidelands.com. The festival erupts in Golden Gate Park on August 28 - 30th. They go for $89 or $235/VIP . (Hey, look, they even have a layaway plan!)

Litquake is celebrating their 10th anniversary tonight with a fundraiser called, "Cocktails with Canin." Author Ethan Canin, who is currently promoting the paperback release of his epic novel, America America, which was described by the late John Updike as “a complicated, many-layered epic of class, politics, sex, death, and social history,” will be sharing cocktails and conversation onstage with former San Francisco Chronicle book editor Oscar Villalon and the audience.

The San Francisco Giants just announced that they're reducing ticket prices. Why? Who's to say, exactly. The economy, chronic plague of empty seats at AT&T Park, boredom with baseball; fans realizing that garlic fries just aren't as tasty as they sound -- one guess is as good as the other. (But! If they somehow installed an In-N-Out franchise, perhaps things might change. We'd be more than willing to pay full ticket price on a regular basis so that we don't have to go to Fisherman's Wharf, home to SF's only In-N-Out restaurant.) Anyway, for the Giants vs. Dodgers series at AT&T Park April 27-29, you can score tickets for pretty damn cheap. Lower box goes for $28 (normally $42); view reserve, $18 ($24); and bleacher seats, $15 ($25). Get 'em while they're hot. (Use the code 'RIVALS' to get this offer.)

Thousands of students lined up in Berkeley on Wednesday to get tickets to see professional celebrity and sometime activist, the Dalai Lama, scheduled to appear April 25 at the Greek Theater. According to Daily Clog's Alex Bigman, "we haven’t seen lines like this since Star Wars: Episode I came out." He goes on to say the Lama's appearance is the "coolest thing to take place at the Greek since that Steely Dan show." Tickets for the general public go on sale on March 23.<

Here's your chance to win a spot on Grand Ole Party's guest list for their upcoming concert with Rogue Wave on Saturday night at the Fillmore. We promised and we never break our promises. (Well, at least we try not to.)

Saturday night we had the pleasure to watch one of Noise Pop's most intriguing local acts: Wallpaper. We interviewed Eric Frederic - the man behind it all - earlier in the week and had even listened to his new EP, T REX on his MySpace page but we had no idea it was going to be that much fun. We were on such a high from Wallpaper's set that we didn't want to ruin it so we left early and missed Immigrant and headliner, Panther.

Those goddamn, dirty, lovable hippies known as the Grateful Dead -- i.e., Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Phil Lesh -- reunite tonight in honor of (our future president) Barack Obama. Looking to snare to what Joe Garofoli refers to as, "California's gray-haired ponytail vote," the Dead is backing Obama. Minus, Jerry Garcia, of course, since he is now most literally a dead head.

Tickets, tickets, anyone want some tickets? We have two tickets to Friday's concert at Slim's featuring: Until June, Matt White and Melee. We've already told you that you don't want to be late to this show, because all three bands are equally as good.

Tickets are $20.00 general admission plus applicable service charges...all ages

SFist interviews Crispin Hellion Glover, who is screening his films at the Castro Theater this weekend.

As the winners of Live 105's Local Band competition, Maldroid will be opening for Modest Mouse, Jimmy Eat World, Angels & Airwaves, Spoon, and Paramore tomorrow night at the "Not So Silent Night" bash at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Maldroid's sound is a mix between The Beatles and The Hives. They first became popular when their video, "He Said, She Said," won "The Youtube Underground" competition - Youtube's first ever music video competition. They...

First off, we are not gamers. Our Mom decided, at a very young age, that gaming was evil and for the lazy. (Wtf! Right?) We've tried several times to get into it but it seems now that everyone can kick our ass. We hate losing, so we refrain to play but really it's all our Mom's fault. Damn you, parents. Now that we have that out of the way, gaming has become a huge...

UNKLE's James Lavelle sure would like to show you his elbow. Maybe you'll get the chance to see it live?

ODC Theater welcomes Guggenheim Fellow Donna Uchizono and her New York-based dance company with its west coast debut,Thin Air. Hailed by the almighty New York Times as "brilliantly imaginative," Uchizono draws inspiration for Thin Air from the Buddhist concept of "emptiness," which "stresses the interrelatedness of all things and quantum physics, which among other things made it possible to understand the atom. And, as the basis for our understanding of electrical currents and how to rectify and amplify them, this lead to the invention of the semi-conductor, without which, modern life is impossible to imagine!"

Being paralyzed by choice is pretty much the peril of music lovers in this town. If you didn’t see Beirut’s amazing show last night at the Herbst, you’re probably considering how to check them out tonight. On the other hand approximately half the population of Swedish rockers are performing at The Independent tonight. And well, Swedish bands are just so very hot. Headliners are the Shout Out Louds, whose new album we can’t say enough good things about. In supporting roles are Johnossi and Nico Vega. Oh, and to tip the scales a little more, the kind folks at Tank Farm Future Sounds are not only sponsoring the tour, but are also hosting an after party with the bands, which YOU, yes YOU dear SFist reader are invited too. Yes, it’s a school night, but come on.. Swedish Rock stars and after party. You do the math. Make sure you stop by and say hi to SFist. Just in case you’re still wavering Ossi Bonde of Johnossi took some time out of touring to answer our many questions about Stockholm and San Francisco. Which is especially timely since Johnossi's self titled debut was released in the US today. Let Ossi's responses be the decider in your life.

Want to go see Rogue Wave this Friday, 10/12, at Bimbo's? Yes? You do? Well then, four of you can win a pair of tickets (because going out by oneself is sick and depraved.)

We love it when events combine movies and music! So check out , a documentary about the creation of a multi-ethnic world music orchestra from Italy. Diverse residents of the Piazza Vittorio neighborhood in Rome banded together and created the multi-ethnic world music orchestra in an attempt to save a historic movie theater from destruction. The movie then follows the orchestra's unlikely rise to success and the various musicians' stories.

We love the Eurotrash!!! Wanna win tickets to see Gunther, the Swedo-pop source of the delightful "Ding Dong Song (You Touch My Tralala)"? (YouTube clip from his show in LA above.) The mulleted, fake-mustachioed, heavily-accented synth star's on fire (even Aidan Vaziri couldn't help but admire the guy), and people are (no joke) flying in from all over the country to check out his show this Saturday.

Look out, San Jose! Here comes the 9th Annual Bay Area UFO Expo. E.T. lovers and Area 51 fanatics are going to be out in full force this weekend celebrating everything extraterrestrial. Apparently, those who know every line to Close Encounters of the Third Kind are early risers. The Expo starts at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow at the Doubletree, San Jose. It runs through Sunday at 10 p.m. Tickets start at $20 and run all the way up to $109 for a two-day pass.

Van Halen held a press conference today to unveil specifics of the band's upcoming national tour. This is the first time in 22 years that "Diamond" David Lee Roth will be performing on such a tour with the band. The tour starts in September, but won't won't be anywhere close to San Francisco until November, so crossing our fingers that, um, Roth will still be with the band at that point.

If you like learning about and consuming chi-chi/artisan/premium/hand-made chocolate in all its forms, there's lots to love at the Chocolate Salon, taking place today and tomorrow in Building A at Fort Mason. Tickets are $10 for kids and $20 for bigger kids (adults) but samples are plentiful. We appreciated the one hour of free parking, outgoing and friendly nature of the chocolate makers, and guaranteed exposure to exotic flavor combinations, wine and beverage tastings. We overheard one guest say to another, "This is so fun," followed by a sigh. Even the ticket takers seemed to be in excellent spirits. We suspect the happiness trigger may be a chocolate high on all counts, since we spied ample samples discreetly tucked away.

Brian Eno's visual imagescape 77 million paintings premiers tonight at Yerba Buena with a 45-foot wall of projections of changing images set to an evolving soundscape. Tickets are $25 unless you're a student or senior. No word on whether Eno will be there...but it seems worth it all the same. 701 Mission St., SF.
