Aids Walk
This week mix things up a little. Take a different route to work, wear an outfit you wouldn't usually put on, try a cuisine you never savored. Rebel against routine and do something new. If you've never celebrated Bastille Day, now's your chance. Storm Belden Place where there'll be music food and, of course, wine. On Wednesday check out the couple that put the "fun" in dysfunctional relationships - Sid & Nancy - in Alex Cox's iconic film showing at Cafe Royale. The next night this year's hardest-working DJ, A-Trak, will be spinning at The Independent for his 10,000LB Hamburger Tour. There's also Infected Mushroom who will be playing their "hybrid of thrashing metal and psychedelic trance" at the Regency Ballroom. If DIY is more your thing, then get your crafty butt down to the Fort Mason Center for The Renegade Craft Fair. Or you could save your dough while still getting a whole new wardrobe at the Rock Paper Scissors Clothing Swap in Oakland. On Sunday, don't forget AIDS Walk in GG Park. Afterwards you can participate in the Cardboard Tube Fighting League Tournament where you can compete for the title of Corrugated Champion. Remember to raise your fist in the air and give a hearty rebel yell.

Alex Cox's valentine to the Blank Generation's Ricky & Lucy is a grimy, fantastical unraveling of musical and romantic entities in a wit and style onto itself. Webb and Oldman, in the most natural of performances, evoke both cartoon and realism in their interpretation of the...
at Bottom of the Hill (9pm)

The Ferocious Few's stripped down, lo-fi sound has been classified as rock, punk, or rockabilly, and along with the bluesy elements of Fernandez's howling vocals, The Ferocious Few's raw sound may be best categorized in the increasingly ambiguous genre of garage rock...

A young Simon Green (for it is he who is the monkey king) refused to be dragged down by the lazy journalistic prose that labeled him 'chillout' and 'downtempo'. Far from it. He upped the stakes, and indeed, even stuck his neck out, moving from his original label Tru Thoughts to Ninja Tune...

Maybe he's best known as the onetime partner to rapper-turned-superstar-actor Will "The Fresh Prince" Smith.
