Hey. Wanna Come Over and Listen to Music aka The Bay Area Record Club Thread

[guedita]

I want a fucking banner and streamers at this blowout.

[zenidogx]

Damn it. I would totally take you to some spots but have spent the past three weekends spending more money than I should on records. I don't record shop in SF much anymore but as far as the East Bay goes...

Hell yeah, thanks!

When in the city, check out Groove Merchant in lower haight for really fantastic used funk, soul, & psych from the long long ago. Inspiralled Grooves on Market is really great for used. New arrivals bin usually kicks ass, and the jazz section is typically stacked.

edit: actually been to both. Sure wish I had more in the bank each time.

I'm gonna try and be selective enough to hit up most of these spots.

I think we'll have to wait until January for the anniversary party. But is anyone interested in a normal record club this weekend or next?

bump...

[greghead]

Ah yes, thank you. Next Saturday, the 22nd, we are meeting. Cool?

[shakermaker113]

cool.

[chiapet]

I'm in!

[bballarl]

Time?

[greghead]

Afternoon-to-evening. Start time is usually 2-ish and I kick you all out at 8.

[guedita]

I'll be there!

[shakermaker113]

Time?

if you make it, please bring that 'the music' ep you mentioned in that other thread.

[greghead]

Saturday at 2:00, folks.

[chbludevil]

Dammit, I have some funky business I want to play for you all.

[greghead]

Bump your face, bitch. It's going down Saturday at 2. Ish.

[greghead]

12/22/12 minutes:

The Bar-Kays - Soul Finger
'Olafur Arnolds - Eulogy For Evolution
Godspeed ("God's pee") - Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built b/w Jack the Ripper (Nick Cave cover) 7"
Needles//Pins - Getting On Home b/w Teenage Head - Picture My Face 7" split
The Beatles - The Beatles (side 1)
Cut Hands - Afro Noise I, Vol 1
Some form of Phillip Glass remixes - Sides A & C
Woods - At Echo Lake
Ramones - Rocket to Russia


I would like to go back through and compile everything that we listened to in the last year. We covered a lot of ground.

EDIT: And yeah, that new Godspeed record is tits. Pain to listen to (A1 -> B1 -> A2, etc), but so fucking good.

[chiapet]

Cut Hands - Afro Noise I, Vol 1

And yea, the Godspeed release was great. I wish I'd gotten to hear all of the Glass remixes...

[greghead]

I think Beck did all of Side C in one long track (we listened to that first) and it was fucking incredible. Side A was also quite good.

[caeden]

i've decided that if i ever visit the bay area, you must have one of these barc shindigs. make it so

[shakermaker113]

when is the anniversary shindig going down?

[shakermaker113]

ahem.

[getbetter]

I want to come to a meeting soon...

[chiapet]

State your availability. :P

I am kind of hoping this anniversary event doesn't actually happen in January... I don't have weekend time free until the beginning of February.

[shakermaker113]

I'm hoping for february too at this point, but it depends what day this would land on.

I am waiting for Greg to identify a date though, since it depends very much on his & Jennie's work schedules.

[Robin]

I'z can bring dip and grape soda?

[guedita]

AHEM

[greghead]

Really dang busy time of year for everybody. I remember we had a hard time getting meetings together last Dec. & January.

First weekend of February works for Jennie and I. That's what I'm leaning towards. I think the weekend of the 15th works as well, but I know Cara has plans with her man that weekend. What say you, all?

[guedita]

The first weekend of February definitely works for me, and Sunday, the 17th works as well but I've got plans already for that Saturday.

[getbetter]

State your availability. :P

I am kind of hoping this anniversary event doesn't actually happen in January... I don't have weekend time free until the beginning of February.

First weekend of march?fourth weekend of march? I'll bring The Killmanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble's From the Stairwell(one of my favorite post rock albums)

[chiapet]

Was the dance party record club going to be a day time (or earlier evening) thing? I have plans on Feb 2nd but not until ~9PM.

Either the 2nd or 9th would be good for me. I already have plans all weekend the weekend of Feb 15-17 and will be out of town the following 3 or 4 Saturdays.

Zack, I'm gone the 1st weekend of march, but should be here the fourth one. If Greg isn't able to have a get together then, we could always have an alternative record club at my place. Or, SOUTH BAY RECORD CLUB.

[guedita]

South Bay Record Club on a Saturday evening --- > OASIS

[chiapet]

4th weekend of March for south bay? I could probably do that. Perhaps that should even be a Special event.
