MN Record Show - This Saturday, October 3rd

For anyone in or near the Twin Cities area:
I will be selling records at the bi-monthly MN Record Show this Saturday - October 3rd.
As usual, it will be at the VFW at 2916 Lyndale Ave S. in Minneapolis, near Lake St.

The show is open from 9am to 4pm.

I have lowered prices on almost every record from previous shows!!!

Most of the non-techno vinyl in my Discogs catalog will be there. A lot of other vinyl not listed there, as well as more goodies from my own collection will also be for sale. I spent the last couple days pulling more from my collection, so there will be many more records not at the previous show.

Admission is only $2!!!

DJ Announcement - Bev's Wine Bar, MPLS - this Friday - September 11th

The road construction still continues, but enough has been completed to allow Bev's to re-open again. This is my first set there since June so I am very excited to finally spin there again.

To mark the occasion, I created a 'best of' mix for the last year of my Bev's DJ sets. I will have plenty of copies to hand out Friday. I expect to post the CD here sometime next week, so stay tuned!!

Aside from the obvious wine selection, there is excellent local beer (Surly & Summit) and some tasty bread/salad/pizza dishes to munch on while soaking up the music and enjoying the view of the MPLS skyline - now that the weather is warmer, this is even more of a reason to check out Bev's.

Musically, expect similar grooves to the Champion Superior Soundsystem days in DC and my recent King & I Thai online set, as well as some indie/minimal/diy pop.

DJ Announcement - Bev's Wine Bar This Friday, June 5th MPLS

Again, I forgot to plug my Bev's spot here the last couple months...

The road construction has yet to begin in front of Bev's, so I am able to squeeze in another night. Last I heard, there is still no definite start date for this work.

DJ Announcement - Bev's Wine Bar MPLS, This Friday April 3rd

So, I forgot to plug my Bev's spot here last month...

This month's set at Bev's might be my last for a month or two (or more). There is going to be road construction in front of Bev's soon. Apparently, they may be losing their sidewalk during this time and may be forced to close during construction. At this point, nothing is known for sure how long the construction will last, or if they will be closing.

Also, my set will start this time at 9 instead of the usual 8:30.

Aside from the obvious wine selection, there is beer and some excellent bread/salad/pizza dishes to munch on while soaking up the music and enjoying the view of the MPLS skyline.

Musically, expect similar grooves to the Champion Superior Soundsystem days in DC and my recent King & I Thai online set, as well as some indie/minimal/diy pop.

Again, short notice.... I have another DJ slot at Bev's Wine Bar this Friday. Bev's is a nice cozy place in the Warehouse district of Minneapolis.

Pataphysics - Divination LP (Malarkey NR 6379) 1975

While digging through some stacks of records for dj fodder, I discovered this oddity that I could find no info about on Google or Discogs.

The music is all over the place. From various shades of jazz to cosmic folk-like pieces to a moog-backed jazz groover. The jazzier tracks wouldn't sound out of place on a label like ECM at the time. The second track, Visions in Jalapena, reminds me of Woo, maybe the way the guitars are strummed.

Thankfully the vinyl is in better condition than the sleeve.
