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.

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

it was fun! it got housier as the night wore on, and it was awesome seeing the culture clash between the bottle service tourist/b&t/superrich crowd and the SF underground disco folks (who were better dressed if i may say so, myself excluded). i got there around 10.45 (because of the "unlimited guestlist" that capped at 11pm) and already Conor & Travis were getting hassled in the booth by nearly-drunk debutantes slurring in foreign accents "are you gonna play any hip hop?". They were over it from the jump. I did see lots of "lesbians" making out and hoochie line dancing though. that was fun. :)

still, it was great for me because a ton of my friends were there and the music was great. they ended up shutting down at 2 because all that was left were our little hardcore crew and that wasn't enough for the bar staff to keep the place open, esp after the bar itself closed. so the party ended and we all shuffled over to the underground at the old inhouse records space on mission @ 6th where Alexkid & Mr. C were playing, and I proceeded to chew Mr. C's ear off about how I still know all the lyrics to his rap in "Pro-Gen". yeah. :)

Talking to Morgan & Darshan at the end of the night, they didn't seem too thrilled about the gig. Bummer, I had fun!

this year's Treasure Island Music Fest actually looks kinda good. as far as indie music fests go.

http://www.treasureislandfestival.com/

What happened to "electronica day"? Personally, I didn't think splitting the schedule down the middle based on genre was a good idea. I guess, though, they just punted one of the genres altogether for this year.

PLZ to trim down to two days of TV on the Radio and Spiritualized kthx

so who's going to that Dalton show? Never mind.

Now we have a flyer:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa176/akmonday/carta_flyer_hill.jpg

just want to say that Italians Do It Better show with Glass Candy/Chromatics/Farah/DJ Mike Simonetti was amazing.

wanted to go to that but couldn't get in. the crowd outside was kinda traumatizing.

yeah, it was totally sold out. the line was ridic. probably one of the best shows i've been to in a long long time. kinda wanted to go to the after party since it was 2 blocks from my house, but i didn't want to be the only guy not on coke there.
