Rent a Video Warning: The Rentals feature musicians from Weezer and that dog. Still, their first single -- with a video that's part Abba, part the Buggles -- is the best thing on 120 Minutes this month, for whatever that's worth. It's called "Friends of P," and it's catchy like a rash, but if the "P" refers to Johnny Depp's new band, you may just have to hate them anyway. Catch the new wave (again) at 9 p.m. at the Bottom of the Hill, 1233 17th St, S.F. Tickets are $5; call 626-4455.

Greeting From L.A. Sensationalized by Hollywood, distorted by the media, South Central L.A. is often depicted but rarely with accuracy or depth. Lisanne Skyler's documentary No Loans Today offers stories of survival and death in the region, shattering stereotypes through direct testimony. See Skyler's film at 6, 8, and 10 p.m. at the Roxie, 3117 16th St, S.F. Tickets are $6; call 863-1087.
