SFist Tonight

· Diva (1981): Based off of Daniel Odier's novel of the same name, this fun and stylish French thriller revolves around a postal worker's obsession with an opera star. After he makes a bootleg tape of one of her performances - tsk, tsk - he also unwittingly records a crime. And then? Chaos ensues.

Starts at 8:30 p.m. at the Roxie.
· Francisco Aguabella: Dizzy Gillespie described this Latin music legend as "the John Coltrane of the Conga Drums." Praise doesn't get much better than that. Also.

SFist Reviews: Queens Of The Stone Age

Days late and dollars short, it's your SFist recap of the Queens Of The Stone Age gig last December 21 at The Warfield. Our photos were delayed by Technology. SFist.com: "Putting the 'teh' back in Tehknology." Q.) What are theees "Queens Of The Stone Age?" A.) That'd be a band that makes hip-shakin' heavy rock 'n roll for adults. On the second night of their sold-out stand at The Warfield, the red-headed sloe-eyed frontguy Josh Homme stepped to the mic between song and announced that the night before he'd been drunk as heck onstage and therefore "tonight, I'll let the music do the talking." Danged if he didn't do just that. Backed by a road-tested band, Homme whip-sawed through QOTSA's canon: b-sides, quasi-AOR hits, and desert roadtrip rumblers were delivered fresh 'n thick in front of an amped. [lien] [EN]

Tonight’s 4 Factors (vs DAL, 12/10/07)

After each game this season, we’ll be taking a look at what the four factors have to say about the game– how the winner won and the loser lost. For an intro to the four factors, see A Layman’s Guide to Advanced NBA Statistics. Knicks lose to Mavericks, 99 - 89 Pace Eff eFG FT/FG OREB% TOr DAL 84.0 117.9 59.7% 28.4 21.9 10.7 NYK 106.0 43.9% 20.7 34.1 14.3 All things considered, the defense wasn’t too bad tonight. Not great or even good, but not awful either. The Knicks surrendered a high number to Dallas– 117.9 points per 100 possessions. But Dallas was the NBA’s 2nd best offense coming into the night, and tonight they only scored 3.2 points per 100 possessions above their season average. For a Knicks team that was dead last in defensive efficiency coming into the game. [lien] [EN]

Tonight's Show Changed

The good news is that I'm not going to cancel The Doctor Anonymous Show tonight. The bad news (and it's not really bad news) is that something has come up to make me change topics for the show tonight. First of all, Dr. Val contacted me saying that she was feeling ill and was not able to be on the show tonight. Everyone send Dr. Val a "Get Well" e-mail! I have three words for her - "Physician, Heal Thy Self.' HA! Hope you're feeling better. Next, MexicoMedStudent (pictured above) contacted me and told me about what his medical school is doing to him. Here's just the beginning of his post called "School Beating Me Down Once Again", but I encourage you to read the whole thing... This post is way late in coming, but I can’t hold it in anymore. As many of you might remember. [lien] [EN]
