Speaking of Slight Freak Outs...
I have a serious love/hate relationship with my computer. There's nothing quite like spending a bunch of time working on something and almost finishing, only to have your computer tell you that the application has to close and that nothing will be saved. Its especially fun when you're tired and its getting close to your bedtime. Really.
Anyways, I apologize for the holiday/sickness-related delay in keeping up on my posts. I trust everyone found something to do on NYE in SF. There were quite a few options. To those of us who were fortunate enough to experience sweat dripping from the ceiling in at least two different venues: Mmmmm..... To everyone else: Jealous much?
On to the present, the post-NYE show landscape in SF seems to be slightly barren. Fear not, though: There's always something in our wonderful city.

The Fearless Freaks
Red Vic (7:15, 9:25)
Director Bradley Beesley has been friends with Wayne Coyne for 15 years and has been documenting the Flaming Lips just as long. In addition to the interviews and footage he shot, there's home movies and music videos. Oh, and there's footage of Steven Drozd not only talking about his problem with heroin, but also cooking up. Fans of music docs and/or the Flaming Lips probably shouldn't miss out on this intimate portrait of this great band.

Chow Nasty and Peanut Butter Wolf
Mighty
$7
This Friday at Mighty marks a video release party for local electro-swamp boogie trio Chow Nasty. I'm not sure what to say about these guys except that, while I haven't seen them yet, I've heard rave reviews from all who have. On the wheels of steel, we have Stones Throw record label head Peanut Butter Wolf. I've seen him drop some serious soul and hip hop gems (as well as quite the melange of everything else) and seriously aid and abet those trying to get their freak on.

B-Side Players and the Spam All-Stars with Pee Wee Ellis
12 Galaxies
$15
San Diego's B-Side Players do Latin reggae and they do it well. The Spam All-Stars are a latin group with DJ Le Spam mixing all the instrumentation live to create latin dub. Pee Wee Ellis will be playing with Spam, and this guy has street cred, considering he played with James Brown in the 60s and 70s. I personally guarantee a high level of groove (and, therefore, some freaking, if you're interested) at this one.
Can't wait for the next post? Too bad. I'm tired and need my beauty rest. But I can give you a taste of what's coming up next week. The Advantage's CD release party, a free Qbert show (with free brews to boot), Slum Village, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, KRS-One and the Helio Sequence. You can also expect the the triumphant return of noise to San Francisco in 2006. I can hear you breathing heavy already. Control yourself, you freak.
