gun club is at moulton again.
(i'm 99% sure about this)

booka shade: music was great, sound was fucked, crowd was HORRIBLE.

IT'S NOT A ROCK SHOW. turn the damn club sound on. WTF?
at one point every single person around me was shouting their conversations at each other to be heard above the music. plus broheems continually dancing into me as if i'm their fricking springboard to cool dance moves.

on the upswing i heard two new tunes that were pretty killer. but the second the show was over we were out the door. and i realize that the moxie music DJ's were out of town in Miami but their replacements were zzzzzzzzzz.

i'm going to do my best to hit up the gun club tonight, cause Maurice is the shit (and ditto about the Kathy Diamond record. just snagged the album off oink and it's KILLER), but i'm DJ'ing the house party of a good friend which should be a complete blast so I may be missing it. My current plan is to show up at 2.30 though. hopefully.

re: girl talk -- sounds like a hipster jam if i ever heard of one, i highly doubt it's an actual prom.

next week: Radio Slave and the Underground Resistance party (with Jonah Sharp!)

and i'll see yall at OOIOO as well, as my request just went through! w00t!

re: booka shade

yeah, it could have been louder last night. i always ask people to turn up the volume, but ... oh well.

― Cameron Octigan, Saturday, 24 March 2007 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

i gave serious thought to just shouting TURN IT UP in between songs. i dunno what kind of pull you have over there, Cameron, but the sound kinda killed the night for a lot of people...

― BATTAGS, Sunday, 25 March 2007 00:43 (nineteen years ago)

I thought the sound last night was decent. There was one point when the bass cut out but other than that it was loud enough for me. I think the club system at Mezzanine blows so I'm actually glad they didn't use it. I don't understand why some of you thought the crowd was "horrible". Everybody was pretty into it once Booka Shade came on and the people around me seemed to be having a good time... nothing wrong with that. I could care less how they were dressed.

Booka Shade put on a pretty good show, somewhat cheesy at certain points but I liked how they constantly added new elements and changed things up. All in all, I had a fun time.

i have just come from the Cow Palace where they are having the flower show. i suggest everyone go there for the Gong display they have in one of the Marketplace wings. get a friend to bang the gong and stand there with your head relatively close - you will be filled with incredible multiple levels of vibration. i'm not even kidding. i had no idea how great gongs were. they are really amazing!!!

this wouldn't be tim p's party, would it?

― jaxon, Sunday, 25 March 2007 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

i WAS going to roll up to the Surya Dub party at Club 6 but seeing how it's getting......

oops.

Uh, isn't this a surefire shortcut to deaf city?

― Goethe*s Elective Affinities, Sunday, 25 March 2007 07:28 (nineteen years ago)

you make a quick stop in pleasurevillekingdom. the reason you go to cow palace as opposed to some other place with a gong (are they easy to come by?) is b/c you can bang it as many times as you want w/o annoying people b/c there's already a lot of commotion overhandling of shit, obsessives/weirdos there. plus there are several different kinds - he has a really nice lighter sounding one. but yes, you do have to get really close to it tho b/c of the extraneous noise etc. and yet, it is still awesomeness. bonus: the bonsai trees (which i dont' even like usually) were very cool.

― SusanD, Sunday, 25 March 2007 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

It does sound quite pleasurable, and I guess it's not so much worse than sticking your face in a subwoofer to feel the sub-bass tickle your nostrils. Hmm.

― Goethe*s Elective Affinities, Sunday, 25 March 2007 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

How odd is this?

Plaid, Sutekh and Telefon Tel Aviv on the same bill sounds very nice, but 3,2,1, Lift Off! A collective experience toward the Overview Effect.???

BATTAGS on Sunday, 25 March 2007 22:54 (Yesterday)

so you're Mike B/heywood, right? tina is one of my best friends.

― jaxon, Monday, 26 March 2007 02:15 (nineteen years ago)

how was maurice fulton?

pretty great. i got there at 2 and stayed till 4. super sweaty. he played lots of great disco and a bit of chicago house.

― jaxon, Monday, 26 March 2007 02:23 (nineteen years ago)

yeah - mikebee/heywood tis me. tina is great! wish i could have gone to check out maurice, but i had made the commitment to tim way before so i couldn't go. we actually left round 4 but i was too faded to even consider being seen in public. :)

― BATTAGS, Monday, 26 March 2007 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

sounds like a good night. i went to hear him the last time he was here and all i remember is good tunes and that it was really dark and sweaty.

― tricky, Monday, 26 March 2007 03:15 (nineteen years ago)

I remember being in Amoeba once, and heard "Mike Bee, you have a visitor in electronica. Mike Bee, please meet your visitor in electronica." It was like a beautiful future.

― Dominique, Monday, 26 March 2007 03:15 (nineteen years ago)

that "beautiful future" is where i live 40+ hours/week. heh.

― BATTAGS, Monday, 26 March 2007 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

just a little FYI on ooioo/neung phak tonight:

doors at 7:30pm
neung phak at 8pm sharp
ooioo at 9pm(?)

the big storm is hitting around 5-6pm for a few hours so watch out for that too.

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone know anything about Neung Phak? I might miss them cuz work keeps me late.

My friend has convinced me to check out Wooden Shjips at the Hemlock on Thursday. Busy week ...

― Dare, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:55 (nineteen years ago)

cool people in SF

― marissa, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 00:58 (nineteen years ago)

don't miss Neung Phak if you can help it. mutant Burmapop alteregos of Mono Pause w/ members of Porest & Negativland.

― Milton Parker, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

I love that Porest track with the chopped samples about the old man & wife in the woods.

"This is the fist my wife makes. This is the wife my fist makes ..."

JD Twitch's fucking mind-blowing set from last month's Gun Club, in full on the GC website:
http://www.gunclub.dj/audio.html

THIS is how DJ'ing should be done.

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

btw, I'll be DJ'ing tomorrow night at Le Boom at 222 Hyde with M3 and Anthony Mansfield. come check it out -- disco/house/techno.

― BATTAGS, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 00:31 (nineteen years ago)

oooh! dodgy first mix! i couldn't bear to listen to any more after that.

― stirmonster, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

it's amazing, flaws and all!

― BATTAGS, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 03:25 (nineteen years ago)

I have to say I side with BATTAGS. That mess of chants and beats around 1:03 is pretty glorious. Eclectic without being incoherent, and infectious without pandering, the mix really makes me wish I'd been there...

― Goethe*s Elective Affinities, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

not like we're famous or anything :-/

― jaxon, Friday, 30 March 2007 01:46 (nineteen years ago)

jaxon, remember this? ...

crazy lady: "what are you up to?"
me: "just hanging out for a minute, then i'm gonna home and just relax."
crazy lady: "you could've just told me to leave."
me: "excuse me?"
crazy lady: "whatever. i'm out of here." ... gets pissed and leaves ...
me: ????????????

man, i hope she shows up.

― Cameron Octigan, Friday, 30 March 2007 02:10 (nineteen years ago)

hey jaxon, what wife jams are you going to play?

― Dominique, Friday, 30 March 2007 02:12 (nineteen years ago)

cameron, al was pretty sure that chick wanted her. she was scared.

i'm hoping to be able to play a bunch of disco/electro type shit, but she begged me to buy some current hip hop. i got the j.t. album, t.i. "what you know", 3-6 "poppin my collar", kelis "blindfold me", cam'ron "oh boy", ghostface "tush" and clipse "wamp wamp".

and now you don't need to come anymore.

― jaxon, Friday, 30 March 2007 06:23 (nineteen years ago)

This is a good excuse to go back to Waziema (which I hardly ever do now that I don't live in the Western Addition.) What time are you guys going to be there?

― Alex in SF, Saturday, 31 March 2007 03:06 (nineteen years ago)
