..late.

oops.

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!!!

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.

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.

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...

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?

Boredoms (HOPEFULLY ... I'm really trying to get this one)
July: Mezzanine

― Cameron Octigan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Oooh Boredoms!!

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

No!!! Hopefully somewhere where they have better sound!

Actually, they bring their own soundboard and soundguy so it may work out there.

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

i love you guys, but i have to say ... mezzanine sound ISNT great, but does ANY club here really have amazing sound? i'd have to say no. it's standard for a 1000 person venue. we're unfortunately not privy to european sound standards. :[
