NMScene

I just got back from the Agency’s Record Swap, and I had a lot of fun at it. It was nice to walk in and see quite a few people at tables with their big boxes and stacks of vinyl set up, as well as record players, books, and various other wares for sale. Raven Chacon of SickSickSick distribution was there, with his mass of noise and experimental music in tow, as well as my friend Adric and his many boxes of vinyl. I walked away with about 15 new records, and I know I need to go down there next time with my own stuff to sell.

Which, speaking of which, this is a great venue for bands to come sell their music. Because it’s not the flea market, people are actively searching for music, so your chances of selling are much better. I encourage musicians to consider coming out for the next swap, which will be the 2nd sunday of every month.

Hey everyone,

Spark_gap, the live IDM A/V jam, is moving to a new venue as of July 19th. We will now call The Agency, at 111 4th st. SW in Downtown, our new home.

Spark_gap still invites electronic musicians and visualists of all walks to come showcase their work in an open-jam, improv atmosphere with other like-minded folks. We provide the PA and Projector - you bring the beats, noise, video, laptops, drum machines or whatever else you got, and plug in. Keep an open mind and jam with others, find new music and have fun.

Spark_gap will take place on July 19th at The Agency. Doors are at 8:30pm. Players wishing to perform should plan on showing up at 8pm for load in/etc.

The event is all ages, and is $5. Various beverages (non-alcoholic) will be available.

I ask you sincerely to support this event and the music it promotes. Thank you!

I saw the fems finally for the first time at the palo soleri (or as i like to call it, the planet of the apes reality venue) last summer, and they just rocked some shit. anyways, came across this link to their myspace that has their cover of gnarls barkleys crazy on it. pretty good, in fems fashion.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Nine purported “mastered, finished” tracks from Guns N’ Roses’ 14-years-in-the-making album “Chinese Democracy” have been leaked online by the Web site Antiquiet.com, prompting a quick cease-and-desist from the band’s handlers and the removal of the links.
