• Do the Hipster Shuffle: Electro Events Swap Venues in Krazy Klub Shake-Ups

  Oy, what’s a neon-togged trustfundie to do? Electro is blowing up everywhere -- but suddenly you have to be everywhere at once just to figure out where your favorite lazer-bass event went. For example, this Saturday sees Youngbloodz swap its original location, Haight Street hip-hop club Milk, for the downtown diveyness of the Matador. Meanwhile, Sleazemore and Rchrd Oh?!'s Lights Down Low left the 222 Club when the original owners sold it earlier this fall; now it looks like they're hosting

• Hear It in SF First: Mapei

  While I was busy judging the Live 105 battle of the bands last night, music director Aaron Axelsen put a bug in my hear about a new favorite act of his, Mapei. She's a rapper from Stockholm of all places, and her grimy beats and tough chick delivery make the tracks on her MySpace page instantly sticky. Mapei's signed to Downtown records (home to Santogold, Art Brut, Gnarls Barkley, and sonic peers Spank Rock) and she makes an initial swing through San Francisco on Thursday -- where she hits Axel

• Free Indie Rock Holiday Show This Wednesday at Virgin

  To celebrate the release of Talking House Records' second installment in its Foggy Holiday series, The Matches, Loquat, and the Federalists are playing a free lunchtime concert on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at the Virgin Megastore on Market Street. That's like a box of Neapolitan ice cream: three different flavors in one simple container. Check out the Talking House product page or the dedicated MySpace site for A Foggy Holiday: Carols from the S.F. Scene, Vol. 2 for sound samples and additional links

• Odd Nosdam to Release Soundtrack for Element Skate Film

  If there's two things we can't get enough of, it's beats and skateboards. Element Skateboards along with Oakland DJ/producer Odd Nosdam came correct with both a few years back with the release of This Is My Element, a skate film featuring an original soundtrack with songs composed specifically for each skater. Nosdam's work on the T.I.M.E. soundtrack marked a huge step forward for skate film production, and will now be physically released on March 10 from none other than Anticon. Check out this

• MP3 of the Day: Uzi & Ari

  (Photo by by Serina Nielson) Strange when an indie record store in Salt Lake City lists among its most popular releases a relatively unknown band from San Francisco. But in the Jan. 22 issue of Rolling Stone's "local favorites" column, the Bay Area's own Uzi & Ari's Headworms was listed among Neil Young, Fleet Foxes, and Bon Iver for the top selling records at a place called Slowtrain Records. Listening to tunes like "Missouri" "Missoula" and "Wolf Eggs," it's easy to hear the group's a

• Sunspot Jonz This Week's Featured Artist on MySpace

  DIY 4 life: Sunspot Jonz Back in the day, the litmus test for independent hip-hop artists was being played on "The Wake Up Show." These days, it's being featured on MySpace. Oakland-born, original DIY rapper Sunspot Jonz --pioneer of the "Unsigned and Hella Broke" ideology and a founding member of the Living Legends and Mystic Journeymen--gets his shot at mass appeal this week: he's been named a "Featured Artist" on MySpace, along with indie rockers These Are Powers, Airplanes, and Soil.

• Track of the Day: Tartufi

  If we took a mid-year count of favorite records in 2009, Bay Area artists would be amongst the highest ranking. So many excellent albums coming from our home turf--among them Tartufi's Nests of Waves and Wire. On this melodic batch of post rock, everything seems to move in emotive cascades, from the vocals of Lynne Angel (which are very reminiscent of Throwing Muses) to the loops of guitars and keyboards to the roiling percussion. Check out the tune "Dot Dash" on the duo's MySpace page, a song t

• Track of the Day: Freeman Gheenga

  Imagine that you stayed up all night getting stoned and listening to Boards of Canada, and by the time sun rose, you flipped on Saturday morning cartoons. Your brunchtime brain scramble might sound a little like the remix locals Telepathik Friend made for Spanish buddy Freeman Gheenga, available on Gheenga's MySpace page. The tune kicks off with the announcement: "This day is full of surprises" and is then punctuated by batches of cartoonish sound effects and animated voices, which are woven int

• New Club Opens Friday in SOMA: Liquid

  Liquid's Walnut Creek club, from the venue's MySpace photo galleryWalnut Creek literally comes to the 11th St. stretch in SOMA when a new club called Liquid opens on Friday night at 314 11th St. (the old Fat City space). Judging from the venue's MySpace page, this will be the San Francisco branch of a club with the same name name out in the W.C. (and not a revision of the old hole in the wall called Liquid that was in the Mission). Liquid also looks to be a venue that attracts lots (and lots) of

• New Wooden Shjips Side Project: Moon Duo

  Surface of the Moon (Duo)A little bit of news about a little side project: San Francisco's Wooden Shjips announced the arrival of a new Velvet Underground-ish offshoot. Moon Duo keeps the three D's (drone, distortion, dissonance) going but adds a little more melody in the two excerpts offered on the band's MySpace page. The songs "Love on the Sea" and "E-Z Street Ext" are off the debut Moon Duo 12" from Sick Thirst. The Shjips sail over to Bottom of the Hill July 11 for a show with Oneida and Jo

• Track of the Day: Nisennenmondai

  ​Like a locomotive charging ahead on frantic drum beats, feedback whistle blaring to announce a slight change of course, Nisennenmondai's music is a loud woosh of steady, intrepid momentum. The Japanese trio offers both the soundtrack for dancefloor convulsions and jarring noise rock experiments. Get lost in the forward thrust of "Tori Track 1" or the meditative clang of "Neji Track 5" on the Tokyo act's MySpace page.

• Track of the Day: Washed Out

  ​Washed Out's lo-fi cosmic disco has a tight rubber band bounce underneath airy washes of synth and, in one especially sweet summer jam, steel drum interludes. The music is made for slow swaying with a head full of stars, the vocals delivered swaddled in a soft melodic hush and fuzzy distortion. Eric Frederic of Wallpaper. turned me on to this Columbia, South Carolina bedroom producer, whose baked beach bum aesthetic is most transcendent on tunes like "New Theory," which you can check out on W

• Hey DJ! Friday Q&A: White Mike

  ​It's always entertaining hearing about a DJ's worst request. Usually they remember a poor song choice, or some dumbshit asking for "something I can dance to." But DJ White Mike's tale takes the cake: some chick wanting him to stop his set so she can get a photo of herself pretending to be on deck. Did the club promoter have Mike's back?
