This week dancing is the name of the game. Almost every night there is a great opportunity for you to shake that booty culminating in the dance festival of all festivals: LovEvolution. So close your eyes, dance your little heart out and say goodbye to September! Speaking of boo-tay, no one moves her groove thang quite like Kylie Minogue, who'll be showing us how it's done at the Fox Theater. Friday gives you Killswitch Klusterf*k at Underground SF, where twenty DJs will be throwing down two tracks each, or I (Dirtybird) SF at Mezzanine where there'll be "so much bass in the place it's like mace in your face." Now, if that doesn't sell you...By now you should be sufficiently warmed up for LovEvolution. Starting at noon, the party will be raging all day long into the night. Last year there were over 30 floats and more than 100,000 revelers, and 2009 will prove to be even bigger. If dancing in the streets isn't really your scene, there's always public drinking at Oktoberfest by the Bay or the musical stylings at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. On Sunday, eat cake! Cupcakes, that is, and a whole lot of 'em. Cupcake Camp 2 takes over Automattic at Pier 38 for three hours of more sugary goodness than your heart ever desired. So this week, be sure to eat, drink and be merry!

If you're like most of us, you played with art as a kid (dabbled with crayons, painted an interesting looking self-portrait, cut folded up paper to make snowflakes...). But how many of us are still playing with art? Wouldn't you like to get those fun, creative juices flowing again?!

at Regency Ballroom (8pm)

Fever Ray is the title, of both project and album, an evocation of the music's sound, intense and anxious, yet luminous. It's the culmination of work that began in 2007 when Karin and Olof, the brother-sister duo who are The Knife, decided to take time out following a handful of incredible live shows. Their first two albums did well in their Swedish homeland...
