how the hell does one pronounce Âme by the way?

i think it's "ohm"? french for "soul." i'm definitely gonna check them out. and Escort! i've been looking forward to that party for a while now.

"ahm", i thought...

Anyone go to Escort ? Man that was a packed house, what an unexpected turnout. Let's hope SF catches the bug to have more of these all night love dancing parties !

i went. mixed bag honestly. besides the girl that works there that fucked us over on guest list and drink tickets ("sorry, these drink tickets you were just given 2 days ago expired yesterday"), and the fact that it was overrun w/ironic non hipsters - frat boys wearing pimp and hoe clothing - and the fact that they played some totally shitty tunes, and the fact that escort kinda sounds like a wedding band except for starlight and the belle epoque cover, i had a good time. probably because it drank too much.

it = my mouth, obv

agreed. the belle epoque cover and the hit nonwithstanding, i thought it was pretty mild. their bass player is totally locked in though, he was pretty tight.

and the fact that escort kinda sounds like a wedding band except for starlight and the belle epoque cover

grr yea i had a feeling about this; kind of glad i totally spaced on it.

completely unrelated: yerba buena is showing a bunch of the residents' short films this friday. should be weird and good...

i+1 had a great time @ escort, totally oblivious to the pimp+ho contingent.

that + trip to city beer store and a burrito at farolito = SOLID GOLD birthday weekend

I'm moving cross country and ditching 4 years worth of The Wire magazines.

Any ilxors interested in taking them off my hands? Email me: dehory (a) gmail (dot) com

If I don't hear back before Tuesday, it's a trip to the recycling bin for Mr Sherburne and co...

What does Dominique Leone sound like (actual serious question)?

http://www.myspace.com/dominiqueleone
space disco w/a beach boys obsessed, classically trained prog dork

classical? or just composition?

search: pop songs with weird time signatures and metric shifts

21 Grand shows you have to have reservations for now btw. Limited to 49 people, what a drag !

I'm turning into a bit of a Stan of his lately but Carl Craig is playing at Mezzanine next month.

IM PLAYING FEB 4TH AT THE ELBO ROOM

so gun club is this weekend with Jenö. what kinda stuff does he play? the name makes me think of post-rave, 30 something house fans, burning man slash sunset parties

Demon Days - POSTPONED
:(

21 Grand shows you have to have reservations for now btw. Limited to 49 people, what a drag !

what, really? is this because of the alcohol thing?

yeah. they are going through litigation because of the alcohol thing.

Joakim w Glass Candy at Fat City Feb 15th.
Seems like they are starting to have more shows here. Anyone been ?

Joakim will be dropping wax apparently. Don't know if this better than him live with his band which I heard can blow. Either way it's be nice nice to hear him drop tunes, the mixes he puts together are ace !

This might be of interest to SF music scribes.

anyone else make it to see robyn on friday night? my girl and i had a great time. is her backing band the teddybears guys sans headgear? the suits looked about right.

anyone go to metro area ? how was it, bummed I couldn't make it. more importantly what did they play ?

the crowd at vessel generally sucks. they played disco, for the most part; d-train etc. didn't stay long enough to hear if they played any classic house or newer stuff.

doesn't sound like it was very hype
