Now this could be best Bob Dylan song or best looking Bob Dylan, but I'll venture to say that the Best Bob will be a combo of the two.

THE HOTEL UTAH WEEKLY OPEN MIC
with host JJ Schultz
http://theutah.org

The Hotel Utah open mic is the epicenter of San Francisco's singer-songwriter community. Its stage attracts performers at all stages of their careers: from seasoned veterans to first-timers. It attracts music fans who know a good thing when they see it.
The musicians who come regularly don't come just to get a little "stage time" - they come because of the community that calls Monday at The Utah home - and the musicians that come in for the first time eventually start to come regularly...

So come on down this monday, have a beer, bring your guitar if that's your thing, and sit back and enjoy.

This week's feature performer - ISAAC FRANKLE - THE SHOVELMAN

Aug 14, 2008: Sacred Profanities at Beckett's Irish Pub

200pockets — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:37:49 -0700

SACRED PROFANITIES
Americana/Roots Music/Gospel
http://www.myspace.com/sacredprofanities

After meeting back home in Indiana in late 2005, Jeremy Wilson (acoustic guitar/lead vocals) and Kirby Hammel (keys/backing vocals) spent the next two years discussing their collective musical vision and the band that would be necessary to bring it to fruition. Kirby moved to Berkeley during the summer of 2006, and Jeremy joined him one year later to pursue their goals in earnest. The two spent the latter months of 2007 and the first half of 2008 searching for musicians who shared their love for boot-stompin’ American music and heartbreaking country tunes. Joined at last by Dave Kardes (bass), Scott Appleton (steel guitar/lead guitar), and Eddie VanCott (drums), the Sacred Profanities are five folks from different locations and generations with incurable musical addictions. Their style is in the vein of hackneyed suburban backwoods yuppie cosmic American country folk-rock tearjerkerin' lullabies straight out the saloon.

We are currently in the process of recording our debut album with Garth Webber at his Red Rooster Studios in Berkeley, CA and are booking show dates through the summer and into the fall. We begin a residency at Peri’s in Fairfax, CA starting July 2nd and continuing the first and third Wednesday of every month thereafter. The Sacred Profanities are also regulars at Beckett’s in Berkeley, CA and have performed at the Café du Nord, The Rockit Room, and Ireland’s 32, all in San Francisco.

Aug 23, 2008: Go Going Gone Girls (w/Klaus Flouride), The Boss Martians at Hemlock Tavern

200pockets — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:09:35 -0700

If you love dogs, or you love someone who loves dogs, or you love someone who looks like a dog, or you love the music of someone who loves or looks like a dog, or if you hate all of the above and just feel guilty about it, donate to the "Hear, Boy" Action Fund on behalf of Bodie, the mascot and patron saint of the Go-Going-Gone Girls. At only three years old, Bodie the yellow lab has become deaf as a result of prolonged treatment with an antibiotic prescribed to treat a MRSA (meth-resistant staph infection) he contracted after surgery for a torn knee ligament. As a young go-go pup, he's an active fellow with lots of shimmy shaking left in him (and much to the band's chagrin, he seems to enjoy practices even more now), but at seven grand and counting in vet bills, he needs your help to add the h back to ear.

Every dollar donated toward Bodie's cause will count toward a lotto ticket for the "Win a Date with the Go-Going-Gone Girls" raffle, with a random drawing to be held August 23 at San Francisco's Hemlock Tavern at what promises to be a rave-up performance of the G4s (with special guests the Boss Martians) and will simultaneously help fund Bodie's ongoing medical treatments. You do not need to be present to win (though it would be more fun if you were!), and every donation is redeemable for a private lesson in how to do the Dog (it's a dance, you guys). Other exciting prizes include:

A signed copy of the Cramps LP Can Your Pussy Do the Dog?
Gift certificates to fine dining establishments Top Dog, the Pampered Pup, the Dog Out, and Casper's Hot Dogs
A DVD of the movie Dogtown and Z-Boys
Gift certificates for dog washes at the Sit Stay Café at Pt. Isabelle
A framed photo of the famed Doggie Diner head
MP3 files of hit tracks "Hot Dog, That Made Him Mad," performed by Wanda Jackson, "Walkin' the Dog," performed by Webb Pierce, and "Hound Dog," performed by Big Mama Thornton
Go-Going-Gone Girls T-shirts
A game of kickball with Bodie himself
And, of course, the fabulous grand prize—an Exclusive Night on the Town with not one, not two, not three, but All Four Go-Go Girl Stars of the G4s!
So dig dirty doggies, dig deep! Donations can be sent via PayPal to: the_better_to_hear_you_with@yahoo.com. Good thoughts, advice, limericks, and haiku are also welcome.
