Yeah, I'm looking forward to Magda more than Richie Hawtin too. Is the sound good at Mighty?

Hell yes the sound is good at Mighty, in an oldschool way - it's the 177 Townsend sound system (Universe - remember that joint!?), the 4-corner 10-foot tall towers now covered with graf pieces. It ain't clean and crystalline and conversational like the 1015 system, but it hits just right and resonates with the warmth of a nice old record, as long as some man-breaks DJ isn't pushing the levels higher than his testosterone level. Michael Mayer rocked that system a year or two ago, till 5 in the AM, it was just lovely.

kyle, did you switch yr user name? and i heard you draw those flyers. they're pretty rad.

you're thinking of josh (who is in SoRockets)....I can't draw shit

Has anyone been to Fat City, formerly Studio Z, next to the Paradise Lounge? they are booking crap in there now but the space is allegedly big and the soundsystem has apparently been upgraded. They just need to start booking things people would want to see.

The location has always been excellent, but it's a BIG cavernous box and few promoters are ever really able to fill the space - bigger acts are better at a more well-known venue with better amenities, and smaller acts are, well, smaller. I hope they spent the bucks to not just put in a big sound system but to actually make the place feel more inviting, smaller, and work on the acoustics.

has anyone heard about Pole/Kode 9/Badawi at RML? it's next week!

?!?! WHAT? Wait were is RML?

I've never heard of this place. . .

RML (Recombinant Media Labs)is in SOMA...they had tomas fehlmann, speedy j, deadbeat...but i'm pretty sure this show is at their old digs near hunters point.

Okay I've been to the Hunter's Point digs (saw Deadbeat and and and somewhere not memorable. . . Fehlmann. . . no. . . eh either way.) That Hunter's Point location is a bitch to get to. Still Badawi and Kode-9 sounds nice.

Monolake?

man, i hope people come out to that mobilee show! i'll be there.

I just got a free ticket to the Bjork show so I will be there. :)

I've been to the address of the Mobilee show before, I think for a Legowelt / Orgue Electronique show? Anyway, Mobilee is a label I'm particularly enjoying right now, especially the GummiHz stuff... the sound design is so exacting, and it really sucks the air out of the room at volume. Submit a review, anyone who goes?
(also interested to hear if Bjork is continuing to use that visual/physical interaction instrument that was part of her show at Coachella).

So, I was leaving town a little over a week ago and looked over to see Kenny Larkin checking in to my hotel! My timing sucks.

Thanks for letting us know about Pole and Kode 9, BATTAGS! Very, very cool.

How was Mobilee last night? Traffic was awful getting back to SF and I didn't end up making it to the show...

"also interested to hear if Bjork is continuing to use that visual/physical interaction instrument that was part of her show at Coachella."

Yes, Damian Taylor was fiddling with a Lemur and what (from a distance) resembled a Dance Dance Revolution floor pad, but turned out to be more like a cross between a crazy warlock's psychic apparatus and some navy sonar pulsing thing. It looked absurdly cool...

The show was very enjoyable. I do pity poor Chris Corsano whose virtuosic subtlety is somewhat wasted on the big Bjork spectacle...
