Review: The State Reunion at SF Sketchfest
For a brief couple of years in the mid-90s, The State was our religion -- a lot like The Grateful Dead, Zep, or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young for prior generations -- only preaching absurdist comedy instead of guitars and beards. Unless you count the Bearded Men of Space Station 11. Of our great generation, a few hundred of us trekked the pilgrimage to SF's annual Sketchfest to witness the reunion of our pop-culture Gods at the intimate Eureka Theatre.

Review: Sarah Silverman at Nob Hill Masonic Center
Silverman recalled the time when she attended a fundraiser for Barack Obama and asked him if he encountered any racism while going to school in Boston. “He said something really interesting. He said, ‘Um, I’m Kanye West.’ And I was like, wow, I totally got it. Yeah, I’m Kanye West, too.”

Outside Lands Festival: Radiohead Set List
Technical issues aside, Radiohead threw down a momentous set on day one of Outside Lands. The blokes delivered a 22-track powerhouse spanning the majority of their career, including the entire In Rainbows album sans only two tracks. Being the intrepid reporters we are (as well as Radiohead enthusiasts), we've compiled the entire set list through memory. Here it goes:
1. 15 Step
2. Reckoner
3. Airbag (sound cut out briefly)
4. There There
5. All I Need (sound cut out)
6. Nude
7. Talk Show Host
8. National Anthem
9. The Gloaming

Hey, You're Pretty Cool: Jeremy Fish
“It’s art so it’s gotta have a story, right? Here’s the art school spiel -- The show’s also about evaluating everything you’ve done in life. Are you giving up and just sinking? Are you just floating by and not giving a shit? It’s about self-evaluation." --Jeremy Fish talks about last year's "Sink or Swim" show.

Pulp Factions
"Once any artist they put out experiences a huge amount of success, before they know it they're more on the executive side than they ever bargained for. It's all inevitable if we put our energy in that direction." --Saul Williams on record industry rule #4,080
