He’s from Oakland! High fives all around for more home grown talent and bay area bragging rights.

Tom Cascino, a.k.a. Broke For Free and the music maker of dreamy chillwave (whatever that means)… it sounds nice. It’s a rainy day or sunny day road trip essential.

I imagine he’s also serious about the being broke part, because he’s giving his music out for free on his bandcamp. Steal away.

The Gold Lining: another total dreamboat.

For $14, how can you not fall in love with St. Lucia tomorrow night at the Rickshaw Stop? Tickets are sold out online but they’ll sell more at the door.

And from my one experience at the Rickshaw stop, here’s what I’ve learned: Total dive bar in the best possible way. Drinks are cheap, but cash only (womp). It’s 18+ so prepare to feel old. Smoking weed is encouraged. No one will notice if you wear yogapants (proven fact). The show will not start even remotely on time, so prepare for a late night. Parking in the area is incredibly simple and yes, I got upset last time after realizing I parked much farther than needed (I’m like, really lazy. And was in heels. Shut up). There’s a disco ball (it sparkles). Everyone will be dancing and you will get sweaty, yet somehow? You’ll still make friends. All in all? She gets a revisit for being an attractive little music venue that tomorrow night will host the music makers of this song, All Eyes on You. Dreamy, eh?

Because I’m a huge fan of Marvin Gaye, pillow talk, and San Francisco cover bands that make lovely noises.

But this is a different kind of PillowTalk and my latest discovery of a trio band based out of the Lower Haight in San Francisco. Their sounds are influenced by original music makers like Otis Redding, Al Green, Etta James and (fill in your favorite classic R&B/Soul artist here).

This is quite the gem for your Monday, enjoy!

Remember that carnival ride, the scrambler? This is what seeing San Francisco would look like while on that ride. And the second the ride is over you want to ride it again because that feeling is magic. Just like this video.

For all I know this is their only song, but I know I’d pay $14 to hear The Neighborhood sing Sweater Weather on August 16th at the Rickshaw Stop. It’s quite dreamy.

Knock, knock. (Who's there?) Wine. (Seriously.)

At rewinery.com, they’ll not only negotiate with wineries to give San Franciscans up to half off bottles of wine - but they’ll deliver it to your door within the hour of placing your order until 11pm daily. So it’s basically the most amazing delivery of anything, ever.

Fillmore Jazz Fest and other reasons to drink wine this weekend

Festival Season continues this weekend with the Fillmore Jazz Festival. Located on the better half of Fillmore, this one is free and fun - but think of this one like going to your in-laws for dinner. Sure you can drink, but you don’t want to be the guy to pull a Will Farrell/Old School/horse tranquilizer scene and scar the children for life (which sadly, is something you could potentially reserve for Outside Lands and you’d get high-fived, bro). It’s not that kinda weekend. But it is the perfect festival for a stroll in the streets and some afternoon dancing. From noon to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, they’ll have 4 stages placed along Fillmore street at California, Eddy, Sutter and O’Farrell with quite the line-up of Jazz artists and swing dance lessons. Expect jazz hands, old men on saxophones, more old men trying to get you ladies (yes, you) to dance on the streets (Jump in! It turns out they’ve got actual, Casablanca moves). An abundance of artisan foods (which just means fancy and overpriced…but delicious and #instafoodgram worthy nonetheless), street vendors loaded with hats, jewelry and/or San Francisco screen printed T’s and a lot of wine. Fingers crossed for some sunshine but it should be a nice little jazzy weekend.

Then there’s Treasure Island Winery’s Midsummer Rosé Event! And if you don’t know me, there’s two things I have a weakness for: Treasure Island and Wine. Although I play major favorites to cabs and merlots, I do encourage the exception of whites & pinks for daytime drinking and/or concerts. It’s sip-able for long periods of time, doesn’t put you to sleep or turn your mouth 50 shades of gross and can be quite refreshing. I mean, it’s like alcoholic capri sun. Clearly, I don’t market for them. Nor do I know a lot about Rosé, but I do know I’d like to. Tickets are only $15 to enjoy a flight of Rosé while hanging out at Treasure Island for the day.

What else do you got going on this weekend, SF?
