Phish, Arcade Fire, Muse top Outside Lands lineup
The fourth annual Outside Lands festival, which takes place every August in Golden Gate Park, has unleashed this year’s lineup. In addition to Muse, Arcade Fire, and Phish, concert-goers can expect performances by Erykah Badu, Girl Talk, Beirut, Best Coast, OK Go, MGMT, and the Roots, just to name a few. Start getting over your fear of peeing in front of drunk strangers in the woods.

SF International Film Fest Awards
The San Francisco International Film Festival plans to honor Zoe Saldana, most widely known as the blue chick from Avatar, at the Midnight Awards on Saturday, April 23, 2011. There’s no mention of Saldana’s work in Britney Spears’ unintentionally comedic film, Crossroads, on the SFIFF website. I can’t imagine why. The Film Society also plans to present the 2011 Founder’s Directing Award to Oliver Stone, who has just enough room for it next to his three Oscars.
