Today is Record Store Day! Go out and grab some vinyl. Oh man you just.bought. a record last week and it was like twenty bucks! Should've waited for the holiday, my friend, because now you gotta do it again. I think records are an awesome way to listen to music. In other news, water is wet.Jackpot Records' is having two FREE events at their downtown location at 203 SW 9th today. At 3pm the guy from Grails will be spinning some jams, which is going to be...I have no idea. Grails is crazy. Itll be good.
Then at 5 the new amalgam Ylang Ylang will be performing. Ylang Ylang is a band with an almost completely null myspace consisting of Charlie from Panther (despite this being musically distant from Panther, expect the same live exuberance from him) with Ricci of Patterns, Caroline of Spooky Dance Band and Jake from Joggers and The Shaky Hands. The members of Ylang Ylang have described themselves as "the Who if the Moody Blues and Sonic Youth were playing at the same time." Should be pretty interesting.
Attendance of this would most likely increase chances of meeting a new girlfriend/boyfriend who likes a certain winning trifecta - free live music, big stupid CDs or whatever the hell those things are, and Volcano City.
I think this should be an official holiday. Good timing too, I just picked up some new vinyl earlier today
ReplyDeletefinally got around to reading all this, and realized that the posts are from my favorite boys north of the California border!
ReplyDeleteVery jealous of all the prty pix that are being posted, but I'll just live vicariously through them.
I will definitely be keeping up and thank you for the lovely downloads.
