Here's todays sports news

Tonight's lone premiere is a show we have such little interest in we didn't even bother to check out the pilot when it was available for free online. It's called "Life is Wild" and it premieres at 8 p.m. on the CW. We really have nothing more to say about it, and in fact, the main purpose of this post is to make sure everyone knows about the premiere of "I Love New York 2" on VH-1 tomorrow at 9 p.m. As you may recall, New York did not find true love during the first season of her "Flavor of Love" spin-off, since Tango dumped her for making fun of his mother. Poor, crazy New York. Will she find her soul mate this time around? Of course we can't know that for sure, but our bets are on Midget Mac.

Our feelings regarding the sneaky scheduling of Gavin Newsom’s Third Fake Question Time this Monday can best be expressed through American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee’s latest single, “Over It.” The purple halter dress she wears in this video is pretty cute, too.

Remember during that hot streak the Giants were on when their pitching was pretty much airtight? Remember how they didn't give up many runs and pitched until late in the game? Those were good times. And not these times as the Giants started off a nine game road trip to Atlanta getting shellacked 13-8. The pitcher getting the shellacking? Staff ace Jason Schmidt. Of note, however, is the Barry sticking it to Hammerin' Hank's Hometown fans and hitting two home runs and robbing Jeff Francouer of a three run home run. Barry is getting hot of late and a hot Barry means good things for the Giants and we're just going to stop right there before we hurt ourselves.

n a promotion that worked way beyond anyone could have thought, the Giants held '80s night for last Friday night's game against the A's. They played 80's music, they busted out their old orange uni tops, they played old commercials, and they even made it cold and foggy at AT&T just to give it that old Candlestick feeling. And then they took it to another level. They busted out Crazy Crab. The Crab Revolution will be televised.

Over the weekend we were flipping through the TV and came upon the old classic sci-fi flick, The Andromeda Strain, that movie from the 70's about dangerous microbes causing death and destruction and the end of the world in ways only movies from the early 70's could. Good thing, we thought to ourselves, we didn't have to worry about it. So naturally, this morning, we checked out the Examiner's web site only to see that a court hearing has been set over the Bush administration wanting to put a biodefense lab at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. LOL!

Earlier this week we told you about some of the great shows at the Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival, including a special performance by Dieselhed at 12 Galaxies on Sunday night. We're sending two of you to the show. Preview some songs off their 1999 album Elephant Rest Home and enter to win. (Contest ends Friday at 5pm. Winner will be notified via email.)

We've never really gotten hip to the all the bands the kids are into these days and for a long time we could never figure out why. Then, one day, it hit us: not enough guitar. Oh sure, Arcade Fire has a guitarist and the Killers have one and so do all of those generically named bands that are all featured on "Laguna Beach," but none of those bands ever used the guitar for what it was put on God's green earth to do-- to rock. What other purpose is there for a guitar other than to dispense bone crushing riffs, squealing guitar solos, and blissfully beautiful wah-wahed out guitar noise? If for no other reason, the reunion of Dinosaur Jr. is needed today just to show the young folks how it's done. For Dinosaur Jr. is the kind of band desperately needed in these "I Love the 80's" times, the kind of band that makes one giddy just over the fact they use stacks and stacks of Marshall amps.

Some of you aren't happy with San Francisco. You're the type who grew up here, maybe, or came here for college from some small town, and now you feel that you're getting a little to big for EssEff's britches. After all, you're William Faulkner, Joe Eszterhaus and Noam Chomsky all rolled into one, incredible author, and the only places that will really appreciate your inimitable talents are real big cities like New York and LA.

at home, but a tad embarrasssing for public transit.

What the crew at SFist is rocking out too

At the risk of turning this column into I Love the '90s, remember when we couldn't get enough of anything Australian? You could take medical waste, slap a Koala bear on the front of it, get some muscle-bound Yabbo to shout 'OY!!' next to it and people would be lining up around the KMart to buy it.

Travel down memory lane to those days of yore when rap music could seriously be considered the "black CNN" and wearing a huge clock as a necklace was a fashion statement. Chuck D takes a break from "Air America" and Flava Flav takes a break from filming "Surreal Life 3" as they and the rest of the mighty Public Enemy brings tha noize for a show on September 3 at the Fillmore. If this event is as any good as one EssEffist saw way back in the day, it should be quite a show indeed (Humpty Hump of the Digital Underground stood right in front of us!). It's hard to remember what it was like back then through our misty-colored "I Love the 80's" eyes, but there was a time when PE was the mightiest musical force that roamed the earth--a barrage of noise, beats, and incendiary lyrics that still pisses people off today. PE was the logical inheritor of the Clash's title as "The Only Band that Matters," and considering the times we live in, we need them now more than ever. Lemme Hear you Say Fight the Power.
