San Francisco, California.

i've been to the hospitals and a few ty segall/thee oh sees shows. great great bluesy noise rock, but nothin dancey.

that t.i.t.s record is a lot of fun

i'd love to hear the t.i.t.s. record. or see them live. great from the myspace clips i heard a while back. one of the girls was in Crack: WAR

we're playing sunday 6/14 @ the hemlock w/Odawas (psych-folk, just moved from Chicago) and Wiener Kids (zorn-ish instrumental trio), and 6/19 @ totally intense fractal mindgaze in oakland w/capillary action. come see! my band now is 7-piece, and we play minimalist jungle prog. AND WE DON'T SUCK!!!!! :)

xxpost - i guess from the T.I.T.S. myspace you can find a ton of local noize/experimental bands from the bay.

Numbers (they still here?), fuckwolf, the flying luttenbachers, Erase Errata (they still here?), Death Sentence: PANDA! , ezeetiger, xbxrx, TOTAL SHUTDOWN, Hands On Heads, Condor

one of the girls was in Crack: WAR

lolz wow they were horrible. Kinda wish I didn't know that, tbh!

oh Dominique, i'm sorry that one of your shows is with Capillary Action. j0n pfeffer might be the biggest douchebag i've ever met.

he's the sort of guy that used to list EVERY TYPE OF MUSIC EVER MADE IN EVERY COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD as his favorite music on facebook. silly to take such things so seriously in my case, yes, but especially in his case...he also never credited me for some interviews i did with him back in the day, so he's on my shitlist for real.

u should come to the show and I can arrange foxyboxing to settle the score

i liked Crack:WAR and am friends with one of the guys.

although they did have some terrible shows (and some amazing ones), so i can see not liking them

i'll gladly come to the 6/14 show. kind of psyched about it, actually...

what's the cover? for the sunday show?

things I liked recently - GWOC (Ava Mendoza / Weasel Walter / Devin Hoff) - power trio with Ava's totally awesome prog-melodic hyper riffing. 0th's last show that ditched the sloppy rock songs for weird theatre was incredible. Bulbs are always great. haven't seen Oaxacan in a while, they're one of those improv bands that either miss entirely or nail it so hard you think about it for weeks afterwards. (& I like all of Kim's bands, especially Death Sentence Panda)

still love Godwaffle Noise Pancakes whenever I go, SF Sound is still amazing for modern classical. Dominique's record is going to kill it. Madame Blavatsky Overdrive & the Lovemakers are putting out ambitiously catchy pop albums that I have total respect for. I don't know though, half my friends left over a year ago and I'm out of the loop

always good - http://www.gardenofmemory.com/

& favorite monthly dance party is still International Freakout (run by Sublime Frequencies' Porest & Paul of Total Shutdown) which is even better after moving to Oakland, at the Knockout it had to be over by 2, these days that's when it's starting to peak

xp Clip'd Beaks are in SF now, as far as I know - they're playing an Oakland show in July w/Indian Jewelry and Psychic Ills.

Numbers (they still here?), fuckwolf, the flying luttenbachers, Erase Errata (they still here?), Death Sentence: PANDA! , ezeetiger, xbxrx, TOTAL SHUTDOWN, Hands On Heads, Condor

Members have moved away recently: Numbers, Total Shutdown - likely RIP
Not playing much if at all AFAIK: Fuckwolf, erase errata, condor
RIP: luttenbachers
still at it: xbxrx (just released a new album, drummer quit), DS Panda

death sentence: panda! put on a good show

oh i loved Numbers when they opened for erase errata back in 03

numbers + coachwhips at the justice league! june 2002-ish. anyone there for that one?

sunday is $6 says this flier:

...but if you email me, I can probably just list you :)

darshan jesrani of metro area is playing tonight! at triple crown.

triple crown has a bunch of good stuff lined up, dude at tweekin was talking it up. pete herbert and 40 thievez aren't far off, among a BUNCH of others

so tweekin's just a shitty dollar record store now, right? hardly any new dance records?

yea, it's pretty dismal in there. i think the owner is well aware it's not making any money and acts accordingly. the lamest thing is how they're sorta disowning the whole house/techno specialty in some weird attempt at attracting a different market (i think they're trying to change the name to TRS). they still stock certain things of interest, like that new moodymann ep, but they have absolutely nothing on amoeba anymore

i didn't make it to see darshan jesrani. anyone go?

i believe manny at tweekin is the owner of triple crown. it's a nice place and they have some cool stuff happening. in fact (here comes the spam) i'm DJing there tonight with john blunck from sweaterfunk and robothustle from honeysoundsystem.

tweekin isn't looking too good these days. on tuesday i spent an hour or so there and still don't buy anything. they did have the new theo parrish 12", which i didn't see in amoeba. i hope they can get back on their feet.

who are you irl?
I talked with the triple crown guy a couple weeks back about playing records there, got his card and was told to contact him, but haven't had any luck yet getting back in touch. wanna work that out.

also, anyone know of a place that would just love to have a weekday night of low key acoustic guitar music/new age/cosmic synthesizer epics/spacey todd rundgren tracks/roxy music b-sides/whale calls? me and my friend want to find a place that'll host something like that so we can make it our baby.

i really, really wish Tweekin' would get back in the game, if only because i miss being able to listen to unknown-to-me gems when i'm at amoeba.

speaking of which, i know that such stations would probably create gigantic headaches for amoeba, but how in hell's name can a record store not have vinyl listening stations? it bothers me to no end.

they put CDRs of selected vinyl new releases on the listening stations. but yeah, if they had turntables in there, it'd be asking for trouble.

are there any new (dance) vinyl stores where you can listen to stuff anymore? every time i try to go to a store they're closed.

altair, for that kinda thing, i'd do something more on the bar/lounge type of thing. dalva, casanova, etc

maybe the attic for whale songs?

the attic was our first choice!

speaking of Todd, he is playing at Slim's next Thursday (he does kick ass live nowadays and totally busted out some uncommon 70s album tracks last year)

what's looking good tonight ?

i've always wanted to go to one of the tormenta tropical/bersa discos parties. that's tonight elbo room. also, i believe 2 ilxors are djing a house party that i may swing by.
