• Rocco's Modern Life

  It's possible that, by censuring trustee Steve Rocco, the Orange Unified School District may be hastening the Second Coming. Not of Jesus, mind you, but of Andy Kaufman. The Weekly recently received the following graphic from a reader. At first we were puzzled—the first picture is clearly Steve Rocco, but the second? The bastard offspring of a Belushi and the guy from Counting Crows, maybe? Actually it's Kaufman; the image is taken from his Elvis impersonation on the cover of his 1983

• Wu-Tang Clan Sample Beatles (Legally!), Set Tour Dates

  Pitchfork reports that Staten Island hip-hop superheroes Wu-Tang Clan have become the first group to clear a Beatles sample legitimately. The George Harrison-authored “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” will appear in “Gently Weeps,” off the Wu's forthcoming album The 8 Diagrams (now pushed from Nov. 13 to Dec. 4).

• LYT's Film Pick(s) of the Weekend 12-7-07

  If you're a horror fan, see TIMBER FALLS this weekend. If you aren't, it won't be the one that wins you over. Call it The West Virginia Switchblade-Sickle Massacre. When a young couple (Edward Burns wannabe Josh Randall and Brittany Murphy wannabe Brianna Brown) go on a hike in a state park, they take the trail less traveled by, and that makes all the difference, as it’s inhabited by your average homicidal Bible-quoting lunatics with their own private dungeon. There’s not much here you hav

• Lady Sovereign Drops 'So Human'

  Drops? You like that? I'm hip with the kids.Anyway, 5'1'' female British emcee released her new single, "So Human," today. The track is available for download here.Or you hear it for free here.The tune samples the Cure's "Close to Me," and while I'm on the fence about hip-hop butchering some of my favorite songs, I'm way into the S-O-V and the Cure, so it's a match made in heaven.I got a copy of Lady Sovereign's debut, Public Warning, and let it sit on my desk for about six months because the hy

• TONIGHT: Final Night of Aushua Residency at Detroit Bar

  Orange's Aushua have had a truncated March Monday night residency at Detroit Bar--thanks to shows this month from Ra Ra Riot and Asobi Seksu--but their third and final show is tonight, and with some nifty opening acts: LA's Lemon Sun and Local Natives, formerly of Orange but currently of Silver Lake. Free as usual at Detroit on Mondays--April's residency will be from LA's wild and wooly The Ringers, who opened up for Japanese Motors at the very same venue last month.

• Study: Generation Y Will Rescue Ailing Housing Market

  The nation will be pulled out of the housing crisis by an unlikely demographic, according to study by The Concord Group of Newport Beach, a "strategic" analyst of the real estate industry. "Like the early Baby Boomers in the 1946 to 1964 era, the 80-million strong Generation Y today will make up the wave of future homeowners in the U.S.," reports what is believed to be the first major national housing survey of its kind.Generation Y, states the report, is generally bullish on the housing market,

Well, hopefully you and the OC can still be friends. For those of you who have followed the harmaonizing echoes, rumbling rhythms and spangly guitar chords of this band since their Mission Viejo days, tomorrow may be one of the slim chances you get to rock out to these guys in South County for a month or so, maybe more. They will be playing The Gypsy L

• VIDEO: New Song by the Jakes

  Newport Beach five-piece talented-beyond-their-years the Jakes have weathered the loss of keyboard player Ehson Hashemian, and continue to rack up fans and acclaim, generally standing out as "the" Orange County band to watch; the one most likely to break out into the mainstream, and soon. They're on Red Light Management alongside names like the Dave Matthews Band, the Decemberists and Alanis Morisette (and Local Natives, formerly of OC and now of Silver Lake) and headlined the House of Blues in

• Flier of the Week: Two Great Tastes That Taste Sweet Together

  ​Not totally sure where this image has been lifted from, but come on: babe in bikini? Big-ass lion? Does anything say "must-see show" more than that? (Copious amounts of pink also help.)All of this wouldn't mean much, though, if the show was going to be lame. Thankfully, that seems very unlikely. Costa Mesa's Semi Sweet, who claim that their band started with a "bitch fight and a hose," are readying their new EP, and celebrating said release with a show this Thursday at Detroit Bar. The show's
