Out of Order Release for 2009

I should keep up with this blog more, seriously. With that, I'm announcing now that I will be co-releasing a record next year with Orange Regret Records. We're putting out a 7" by local kid Green Green. It's a cool very lo-fi bedroom-indie-punk-fuzz kind of thing.

I'm bummed that I didn't keep with the goal of releasing at least one record a year, but when you have no money and your house burns down, I guess that gives you a good excuse!

None the less, I'm really looking forward to this release, and I'm actually living in a place that can accommodate stuffing records!

Please keep tuned to the blog and my website, www.outoforderrecords.com.

I'll try to post more!

Go Vote!


It's election day! Fit time in your day to drop by the polls. I've already voted via absentee. If you have your absentee ballot and didn't mail it, you have to drop it off at a polling place IN YOUR COUNTY. That's important- it's too late to mail it, but you can bring it to any polling place that's in your county.

In California, please vote on the props.
Some of the important ones are:

Prop 2- Vote Yes (Give animals more space)
Prop 4- Vote No (Keep it so minors do not have to report abortions to parents)
Prop 8- Vote No (To keep gay marriage legal)


I would comment on the other props, but I'm no expert, these three are extremely important.

Have a great day! Don't forget, there's a Midtown Monthly party tonight at the Press Club and th' Losin' Streaks play at 10pm. I don't think I can make it, but you should!

Mo' Music Blogs

Although I'm on the internet a lot, I don't know too many music blogs and am trying to extent that. I've been too busy and trying to save money that I haven't visited any record stores (gasp) besides where I work. I'd love to sample some new music and add them on to my purchase list. I just discovered OngakuBaku, which is great, and have been keeping up on System of Romance. Speaking of which, you can get the whole Algebra Suicide collection, which is super hard to find. Great minimalist synth-post punk.

If you know of other great ones, please post them in the comment section.

I'm still in the process of house-hunting and drowning in work. More blog posting soon.........

Freeform KDVS 90.3FM in Davis presents...
OPERATION: RESTORE MAXIMUM FREEDOM VI


On Saturday, October 11, 2008 ten groups will take to the stage of Plainfield Station to rock Operation: Restore Maximum Freedom VI, the DIY underground music festival presented by freeform alternative KDVS 90.3FM in Davis.

It kicks off at 1:30pm with KDVS DJs spinning killer tracks from this year's top albums. The live music starts blasting at 2pm, with an eight hour roller coaster of punk to experimental to raw folk to indie to psych until 10pm sharp. All this is happening at Plainfield Station, 23944 County Road 98, just north of Davis. Best burgers, killer tacos, and beer bar for 21+.

$7 presale/student and $10 general door admission feeds the hungry touring vans and artists.

Presale tickets are currently available at Armadillo Records in Davis and through our PayPal button on our Myspace page...
http://www.myspace.com/maximumfreedom

Group bike rides are leaving from Davis, as well as a shuttle bus for those too inebriated to keep upright on two wheels. Maximum Freedom has developed a strong tradition of biking to the festival. For the past five fests, people have biked from as far away as the Bay Area to see this unique event! Bike rides leave from Davis at 1pm and 4pm, returning from Plainfield at 10:30pm.

The free KDVS shuttle bus will leave Davis at 1:30pm and 6:30pm, returning from Plainfield at 6pm and 10:30pm.

Driving Directions:
From I-80, take 113 north for a few miles. Exit at Covell blvd. and turn left. Turn right at County Road 98. You will see the Plainfield Station on your left, right after the intersection of County Roads 98 and 29.

Check our DavisWiki and Myspace pages for more updates! And stay tuned to KDVS 90.3 FM or http://www.kdvs.org/ for music from the featured bands, ticket giveaways and more information.

The Lineup:

LSD & the Search for God

Described quite accurately as dreamy indie-warp by the San Francisco Chronicle, this SF group has been compared to My Bloody Valentine, Luna, Spacemen 3, and the Telescopes, with its uniquely moving blend of psychedelic shoegaze indie rock.

Traditional Fools
Shrieking buzzing guitars and raw vocals meet punk melodies to send a killer garage punk rock n roll lighting bolt straight down your spine and get your feet dancing.

Blackblack
LA indie rock ushers out the summer with ebola-catchy lyrics melodies that make you want to dance, then takes a step back to reveal beautifully cute indie pop.

Ohioan
Will this wandering Portland native bard be able to hitchhike his way down the coast in time for ORMF? You'd better hope so, or you ll miss his powerful, sorrowful, honest folk brewed on the roads of America.

Inca Ore
Surreal experimental that must be witnessed to realize the warping of your mental state.

Hexlove
The drummer from Sacramento's Who's You're Favorite Son, God? and Prints launches forth in his solo drum n' ambient experimental crusade against lameosity and the expected.

Beware of the Knight
A mysterious blast from the past, the distilled essence of Sacto '95 Loft in psych/weird/garagepunk form, manifesting itself in a Sacramento rocker playing his first live show in a long, long time.

Countless Others
Feedback fuzzed up, messed up, roadkill raw, garagey rock n roll hailing from The City. What else can you say?

Religious Girls
Forged from the ruins of Destroy Tokyo, this Eastbay experimental electronic rock project takes convention out behind the shed and shoots it.

San Fransisco Water Cooler
Local lords of the psych garage, the sound flows like something that cannot be described, only felt. A KDVS Recordings featured artist!

ORMF VI lineup w/ times:

2:00- San Fransisco Water Cooler
2:45- Religous Girls

Mattress TONIGHT at Luigi's Fun Garden

Mattress is playing tonight in Sacramento! Read my blurb in the Midtown Monthly blog.

Recommended Music: Jeremy Jay



If you are a fan of pop music, you should track down records from JEREMY JAY. He makes really nice, low key fun music. Great for mornings at home while relaxing or up late working on projects. His records have been trickling into KDVS for the past couple of years and I've enjoyed all of them. He played in Sacramento last month at Luigi's Fun Garden and him and his band put on a great show.

Most of his stuff has been released on K Records. Although they only have his newest release, A Place Where We Could Go in stock.

-Listen/Watch "Airwalker"
-Listen/Watch my favorite Jeremy Jay Song "Escape to Aspen" (that guitar riff is so good during the chorus!!)

Tonevendor, formally of Sacramento, now in Florida has a bunch of his records in stock! Find them here.

Tickets and Hotel deals are cheap!

DEBACHARENO!


I'll bring my camera this time. YAY! I'm actually getting out of town. I literally worked almost every day this summer with the abundance of extra summer jobs I did. Phew. Time for some fun.

Have a great weekend!!

HOLLEEE SHIT



WHO WANTS TO GO TO RENO?!?

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Hey Sacramento! Be Careful!

Ladies (and everyone for that matter) BE CAREFUL! Someone is attacking women around 24th-26th streets on E in Midtown.

http://cbs13.com/local/midtown.sacramento.sexual.2.784320.html

This is very close to where I used to live, and I know several of you do too. I used to walk around by myself a lot and never felt in danger. Please warn your family and friends and be careful!

Also in the news, Corti Bros is losing their lease. Another reason to support small businesses! Big business is fucked up! Even though I'm in Davis now, I'm going to try to make it back over there before they move and get some of their rad beer and other goodies.

Keep it real,

Weekend Round-up + Tuesday Show!

I hope you got the news that the Ohsees show was moved to the Witchdome on Saturday. The show was awesome! Standard Tribesmen are really gelling together- the sax sounds a lot better. They just need some new songs now. I stayed outside for Witch Hats to avoid the hot basement, and accounts said they were OK. I could hear them. Yellow Fever is a really cool indie / post punky band who are amazing! I can't believe I've never heard them before. Female vox reminds me of Liliput/Raincoats. Listen to them on myspace and buy their stuff!! Ohsees were fantastic as always. The new record - The Masters Bedroom is Worth Spending the Night in is out on snazzy purple vinyl and the new live CD/DVD is out as well.

Tuesday is the EAT SKULL show in Davis. The record is OK. I'm hoping I am very impressed when I see them live. I keep missing them. English Singles are also playing- who are getting better and better. Don't miss it! I hope I don't...

Friday, July 11, 2008

Ohsees this weekend!!


Super sweet show this weekend in Sacto. Hope to see you there! Be respectful....maybe Rick's Dessert Diner beforehand?!?! I recommend the Chocoalte Caramel Mousse Tart! mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
