SF Weekly Music Awards: Better Than the Obama Party Down the Street
The final set of presenters received loud cheers and
Electronic/DJ winner, Lazer Sword, rallied up the crowd with "big ups to the
Mission" and "hot dogs." Indie winner, Girls, sent in a troop of giggly, barely
legal young ladies to accept their gold award, who said only, "We're the girls
of The Girls--Thank you."

Wallpaper took over the mic with a glittery red cape, fedora
and sunglasses, starting out his bizarrely entertaining set with a rendition of
Biggie Smalls' hit, "I Love It When You Call Me Wallpaper." The dance floor was
overrun with excited bodies who enjoyed the purposefully cheap-version of
Justin Timberlake, toting songs about getting wasted, cheap booze and sex. The
gigantic screen behind Wallpaper's glittery blazer flashed images of old
educational movies and a mixed bag of interesting text. The
night concluded with a DJ set by Lazer Sword and a packed house of club
goers.
