San Francisco, California.

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:

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.

gaslamp killer plays killer records. kinda seem a bit over the top, but i might be down to check that out.

i think i'm playing records at waziema for steve shasta's birthday this friday

jaxon, yeah i've been feeling alot of his mixes. His new LP drops soon and I've heard some tracks off it, very inspired by Turkish psych. It's all those tours that he's been doing with Andy Votel and co.

Skream & Benga next Weds..............

Recommend me somefin to do this Friday, thinking about Alan Braxe and Lifelike maybe?

>>favorite new SF band = Jonas Reinhart

basically just a dubbier version of Neu!, but tough and extremely danceable & they just nail the sound, they gave a great show at the Fernwood at the Cluster afterparty

http://mighty119.com/dp/jonas_dj.jpg

ya so, dunno if i should post here or in the dubstep thread but skream & benga were fantastic. soooo many dubs. danced my ass off!

next up:

2 PM Sunday @ Stern Grove
Seun Anikulapo Kuti & Egypt 80, Sila & the Afrofunk Experience

chapel of the chimes in oakland/piedmont on Saturday. big creamatorium where musicians spread out over the whole space, play music, and people gather around them. way less hippie than it sounds.

oh and I'll be there playing steve reich's 'drumming' w/william winant's percussion group

I'm pretty scared at how crowded that's going to be this year. it's doubled in attendence every single year the last three years when it's on a weekday, and this time around... saturday

since it's in a columbarium it usually stayed respectful & quiet (as you do when you're surrounded by framed urns containing names & dates of the deceased within), people would whisper and the most amazing aspect was finding the nodes in the hallways where you could overhear about two or three seperate acts playing in their different corners, echoing off the marble & glass, but it sort of reached a tipping point last year when there were so many people that everyone just flat out began talking and now that's all you can hear

but yeah one of the most interesting bay area new music events for the last 10+ years running, it's just better when people aren't accidentally being pushed over into the gardens

ha ha ARGH the Garden's been written up not just by East Bay Express but the Contra-Costa Times

I'm bringing gatorade, a raincoat and a knife

i'm def going to edinburgh tonight

http://sanfrancisco.going.com/sdv

^^^friend of mine is curating that show, I did the b&w flyer artwork

I'm going to Hercules and Love Affair tonight, who's going ? For those who have already seen them, what did you think ? Does he just drop records, stare at his laptop, stand around and pump his fist in the air like Tiesto ? Please, do tell.

there are clips on youtube of an new york show. looks like full band w/horns and singers and shit.

i'll be there tonight

Don't fear the reaper plus voguing Daniel Wang = classique #infinity.

SO SO EPIC.

Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer Kutmah, Ras_G, Kutmah, Hudson Mohawke, Kode 9, Martyn & Samiyam. Warp artist and hip-hop mystic, Flying Lotus (aka Steven Ellison), celebrates the launch of his fantastically shadowy debut album, Los Angeles, and his new digital label, Brainfeeder, with a host of vocalists and other guests, including Samiyam (who has a record due on London label Hyperdub), a grimey psychedelic, beat-strewn stew from Gaslamp Killer, some seriously dready dubstep from Kode9 featuring some Rasta-style meditative vocals from the deeply resonant Daddi Gee. Plus the experimental abstract hip-hop artist, Kutmah, Ghettotech & Dubstep superstars, Hudson Mohawke, Ras-G and Martyn.

ooh

For some reason, I thought this was a thread about alte 60s hippie music.

Yeah I can see how the first post might have confused you.

FUCKIN L!!!!

open mind is closing it's doors for good at the end of the month. a bunch of times i've walked all the way over there and they're closed. i could tell the owner wasn't really into it anymore. i saw two guys walk in and say "hi, we're from the hair salon" and started talking about the molding or some other shit and i finally asked. i guess they're going online. good luck. the best part of that store is digging through all the relatively cheap, unknown shit and being able to listen on the turntables. i guess they're having a party w/bands (dunno who) on the 18th. RIP

seriously good luck. the site's retarded

http://www.openmindmusic.net/

haha, "from abba to zappa". this is the line i used to get my first record store job

for you SF disco fans: at the SF Amoeba you can get The Glimmers' 2-disc debut album "The Glimmers Are Gee Gee Fazzi" for free while supplies last (about 20 copies, last count), that's right *FREE*, just go to their section and there should be copies filed with their other stuff. Also that Optimo "Sleepwalk" mix is now in stock, which I will now mention in the "Sleepwalk" thread. that is all...

Anyone going to Greg Wilson ? It's going to be great.

GREG WILSON (Tirk, Credit to the Edit, UK)

"With a DJ pedigree stretching back to the original disco era, Greg Wilson first came to national prominence in the early 1980’s as the first to champion the new electronic, post-disco records coming out of New York, a sound he has presciently dubbed ‘Electro-Funk’. He was a pioneer of mixing in the UK and in 1983 he became the first ‘dance music’ DJ hired for a regular weekly session at Manchester's now legendary Hacienda club. He also enjoyed hugely popular residencies in the early eighties at Wigan Pier and Manchester's majorly influential Legend.

I was just listening to his edit of Nick Chacona when I found this, this is going to be truth.

i'm def going. it's around corner from house. i know how influential and whatever he is, but the only mix of his i've ever heard is the resAdv mix and i was really underwhelmed.

also, GC always gets really techy. hope that doesnt' happen

I dig his stuff at this site... http://www.sixmillionsteps.com/mixes_main.htm#gregwilson

I will definitely be there. He really is quite the legend. And the idea of hand-spliced edits playing on a reel-to-reel makes me sooooo happy. Farr from your SF tech-house fare.

gah this is the site i meant:
http://www.sixmillionsteps.com/mixes_main.htm#gregwilson

this looks like fun, too...

hoping to make it to these:

11/14- gang gang dance, marnie stern, and growing @ bimbos
11/18- pylon @ the independent
