TONIGHT!

Thanks to 4AD and the efforts of Dancing Ghosts, we'll be giving away assortments of CDs from artists like Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, and Department of Eagles.

Yeah that was awesome! Always loved the razormaid remixes especially the tracks for which there was never an official 12" release. Well done!

Despite being only 2 days after New Year's Eve, we still had a great crowd of over 200 people! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and made Attack of the Record Labels so memorable.... with one exception: to whomever set off the stink bomb in the back dance room at 1AM, you can suck it. The rotten egg smell only lasted 10 minutes, as I quickly learned where the controls for the supply and return fans are (and discovered that the bar owns some really nice incense).

Huge thanks to this month's guests - Unit77, Orko, and Otter. Thanks to 4AD for giving us more than 10 albums to give away (from artists like the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus, and more), and to Dancing Ghosts for making the connection with 4AD. And congratulations to our winners: Dire Deparra, Jane W., Daphne G., and local artist Jard!

I hope to see you on February 6th for Strangelove's FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY! And on 3rd Saturdays starting January 17 at DANSE MACABRE at Julie's Supper Club (Folsom at 7th).
