Geneva Jacuzzi - Sand Trap live in SF 3/7/08


I have two friends, friend A loves Geneva Jacuzzi and friend B totally hates her. Friend A made it to the show above and friend B didn't. I think friend B's hate is fueled by jealousy. Friend B loves girl rock stars in this weird way where friend B wants to both be them AND sleep with them. I think if friend B saw the Geneva Jacuzzi act in person, and met with her face-to-face, the appropriate rejection would take place and friend B would then love Geneva Jacuzzi. Friend A is more open to new music and has a less predictable opinion.

Way better than Noise Pop and let's not even mention Mission Creek's quality control (sucks ass) , Mushroom International brings the best music festival of the year... built on a meth rock! What could be more 2008? Here is a preview of Thursday, the first day, of the three day music extravaganza!


To be honest, I am not familiar with Julia Holter. I'm totally gonna go to her show though, because she looks like a pretty girl. I love pretty girls when they do things like start bands, do photoshop or music videos. You know - when they do stuff dudes do... but better. And I love that because I'd totally be a pretty girl if I wasn't some soon-to-be-45-skinny-and-AIDSy-looking male.

Raccoons are pretty cool; I have to admit. Their singer, Nick Stone, sings with a weird half-smile - the kind you only get when you have a boner. They play out of boutique amps. They remind me of the cool band Kevin Ink was in before I was born. They all have a pretty good sense of style, but none of them are gay or willing to embarrass themselves by taking off their clothes or wearing makeup. It's kind of an ideal situation. I like their guitar player "Jeremy R." the best. He is super inviting and seems like he'd be a good dad if I were fertile.

Creep Land seem to be one of the inbred bands that you can expect at one of these three day events. All the members are from other bands. Expect inde star power. Who knows what will happen?

The record label Human Ear Music is home to most of the acts. Artist Jason Yates of Fast Friends Inc. will have his art all over the place.
