No winner last week, so we're going in random order. First up: the SJ Metro. Gary Singh had a crazy South Bay weekend. Is Palo Alto really as crime-ridden as they say? Cover article: The South Bay Best Of. Wow, this font is hard to read. It's broken down by city, with a readers' choice section. We didn't win their Best Blog award, which is only fair since we almost never talk about the South Bay. Also, scantily clad women throughout the pages. Barbecue in Santa Clara. More Twilight Zone love. Hey, we heard Metro music writer Todd Inoue is leaving -- we'll miss you, Todd! Where will we find out about quirky South Bay rappers now? Also, Cirque du Soleil is playing the HP Pavilion. more ›

Our secret boyfriend is breaking up with us! The Village Voice media juggernaut has just announced that our WRTW crush Rob Harvilla is taking over the New York flagship alt-paper's music editorship, replacing poor beleaguered Chuck Eddy at the helm. What will we do without the Cred Sheet or Down In Front? Who will we crush on in the alt-weekly music realm now? Todd Inoue of the SJ Metro, you're our only hope! more ›

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. A list issue! We love lists. Coverage of the Battlecry dueling rallies last week. Annalee shares some blogger feelings. Johnny Ray Huston also thinks villainy's name is Stephen on Top Chef! The club reviewer preemptively mocks himself. Book section. A review of the Whitney Biennial by SFist Katie. And -- oh, SFBG! Win preview tickets to Brick by doing a word search? Come on, let's go rebus! Nothing beats the little cartoon eye, a heart, and a picture of a female sheep. Next up, the Metro: Circus protestors at the HP Pavilion. (n.b.: your correspondent represents these protestors at the day job, but had nothing to do with getting the article in the Metro, we swear. It was pretty funny when our client ran up to us yesterday and gave us a copy of the Metro, which we were already stressing out about picking up.) Soccer is cool. The Fly on the guy who wants to buy the Merc News. Cover article: giant squid! This article is like Moby Dick, only with squids, in California, and without the guy named Starbuck. Thin-crust pizza in SJ. An article on Edvard Munch. Aaaaaaaah! Todd Inoue's second SXSW roundup -- hey, he stopped by Austinist's secret Flaming Lips show! And SFist Eve's horoscope: 6714 is NOT your lucky number. After the jump, the SF Weekly, the EBX, and the pick of the week. more ›
