A Few Notes

  • Thanks to everyone who went to the Invisible Eyes show in Davis last Tuesday. It was a ton of fun, and I had a great time. To keep up to date on local shows in the Davis/Sacramento area, please check here frequently.
  • The Trashies 7inch is moving along! I'm really excited for this release. We are looking for a release date around April or so.
  • More thanks to the folks who tune in, and stream my radio show, "Live in the Warzone". I have a lot of fun doing that, and it's been going for over 3 years! I have some fun stuff coming up on the show in the next couple months including live bands, themed shows and more! Keep an eye on that page for info.
  • I also want to mention the Garagepunk.com podcasts. I've been totally addicted to these, and I listen in at work all the time. There are some great shows on there, so I highly recommend it. If you know of any other great podcasting & independent streaming sites, please post them in the comment section!
  • Another couple highlights I'd like to post are these local labels. They have been putting out some awesome releases, and if you don't know about them, you should. These include Plastic Idol, S-S and Weird Forest.

Upcoming Events

INVISIBLE EYES & THE LOUSY BUMS
w/ DJ Heather Klinger

KDVS FUNDRAISER
April 24th-30th

KDVS is a freeform, non-commercial radio station located in Davis, CA. For over 40 years, they've brought quality music, news, public affairs and sports programming to the airwaves. In the 90s, they began streaming online and archiving shows on the internet.
Their budget is cut yearly by the University of California, Davis, so every year they dedicate a week to raising money so they can stay on the air.

Over the past year, with the help of a dedicated staff and volunteers, KDVS is working on increasing their wattage, moving their tower location and has had several great changes. You can now view DJ playlists in real time online, while the DJ is on the air, we've brought back daily news briefs, and other several internal improvements. More great advances are coming soon!

Not only will you feel great about helping this non-profit organization, but you can also receive premiums, or gifts in exchange for your tax deductible donation!

For $25 if you are a student/low-income, or $40 for community members, you can pick from a huge selection of music packages, gift certificates, t-shirts, books, and more. For a $100 donation, you can even host your own hour of programming!

More information will be posted online at www.kdvs.org soon. You'll be able to view the premiums online as well as pledge there during that week of fundraising.

Please support freeform, community radio! It's a dying breed!

KDVS RECORD SWAP!
May 21st 2006
Fools Foundation

Thanks to Tim Matranga and Liz over at Fools Foundation, for their help in setting up this record swap! I would be lost if I didn't have their help in putting this together. It's been nearly 2 years, but finally we are having another of our great record swaps!
Record buyers and sellers from all over are welcome to join us, May 21st in Sacramento. You will be able to rent tables to sell your records, t-shirts, magazines, posters, videos, pins, etc, or just come in and buy records. KDVS DJs will be spinning live as well!

More information coming soon on how to reserve your table, times, etc.

Selling Out!

I want to thank people for buying records from the Out of Order distro. It's nice to know people are taking advantage of that. The whole Out of Order project is a lose-money operation, and the distro is a small way to earn a few bucks and keep things going.
Today, I just sold out of Battleship "Presents Princess" 12inches (I can't believe they lasted as long as they did...), Digital Leather "Simulator" 7inches and Killed by Death #20 LPs.

There are still plenty of great records there- I still have a couple copies of the 1st pressing of the Minds "We Got the Pop" 7inch, some import titles from Europe, etc. Take a look at what's available here.

Radio Playlists 2/7 & 1/31

Here are my last two playlists.

You can listen to this week's (02/07) show right here. It's really simple, just click the MP3 stream link. There are two. If you have dial up, you'll want the 56kpbs (I feel for you), but if you are lucky enough to have DSL, click the 128kpbs, the quality is way better.
