Windows at Supperclub tomorrow (Friday 7/24)
So I’m at home pondering this… (in a very “chill” state due to Deckard’s mix, see below) Am I over-using Space Cowboy channels to aid in the creation of the Temple of Flux? Hmmm…. I’m just kidding, you really think I ponder such things? Yes, those of you who no me, know I take such things seriously (perhaps too seriously) but surely I don’t ponder them, the answers to such things are self-evident (such as the supremacy of Arinell’s pizza in this foggy excuse for summer-in-the-city). Anyway, so I’m doing this little sculpture project with a few friends for this little arts festival in some dusty town in northern Nevada, and we need to raise a lot of money to get it done, like $50k a lot. The big problem is that we’re going to burn this sculpture on Sept. 5th as a giant piece of performance art, and therefor can’t sell the sculpture. It’s all about somehow relating that change is a natural part of our lives, both when confronting life and death, as well as understanding our relationship to the environments that surround us, both built and “natural”. See it’s all about perception and framing how you see the world. Kind of like when you look through a window and only see a bit of the world around you. You get this, windows are an easy way to see the artificial frames that we construct to shape our views, and I mean that in a deep, very deep, I mean you are getting sleepy deep, metaphysical way. So the city is a construct of our continual framing of the real (its all really just a bunch of surfaces with windows right?), in both literal and philosophical ways. Depending on how you frame things, there is either joy or pain; it just matters how you build the window.
I can go on…. but you rather just come down to Supperclub SF tomorrow (Friday 7/24) to WINDOWS: joys and panes of a metropolis. It should change how you see things…

License to DJ (and our upcoming events) 4
It happens to everyone. It’s the weekend, and you and some friends head out to a bar or club. You wait in line, show your ID, and maybe pay a cover. You empty your wallet on a round or two of cocktails, and you smile because you know you’re poised at the starting block of an epic night out. But you look out on the dancefloor. It’s empty. You look around and see that no one is smiling and everyone looks a little annoyed, even the bartenders. Something is wrong, and then you realize what it is… it’s the DJ. The DJ is bad. Horribly, criminally bad. The DJ is sucking balls, and that means so will your night out. Until now we’ve had to accept these scenarios as a bad roll of the dice, but now Space Cowboy’s Bureau of Brilliant Ideas has cooked up a solution that’s long overdue: a License to DJ.
The concept is simple. No longer will the DJ booth be an unregulated wild west where charlatans, thugs, and degenerates of questionable taste shall be permitted to operate with impunity. Instead, only those who’ve proven themselves exemplary at entertaining by passing a stringent series of tests (written and aural) shall attain the certification that allows them to stand publicly behind a mixer. It’s like the judiciary’s bar exam (though the DJ’s bar exam will most likely really take place in a real bar). And this won’t simply be a pass/fail test. A License to DJ will be similar to restaurants’ sanitation ratings. Regardless of the size of a venue, only DJs who’ve been rated ‘A’ will be permitted to playing prime slots. DJs with a ‘B’ will be welcome to open and close, but at no time will they be permitted to play songs with big build ups, and unlike ‘A’s, there times ‘B’s will be obligated to play requests. DJs who have ‘C’ licenses will be restricted to playing side rooms or in bathrooms (again, an ‘A’ DJ must play the prime slot, even in a bathroom, or the ‘C’ DJ can opt to play any of the RIPEcast mixes from Breakfast of Champions during that time slot, though they must remove their headphones from the mixer at that time and present a placard that says as much). ‘D’s will only be allowed to play the suburbs and bedroom communities, ‘F’s can play any venue they choose in Las Vegas.
Of course there will be those opportunistic snakeoil salesmen who’ll buy their licenses online. Desperate, under-funded promoters may book them, blinded by the promises of cheaper thrills and impossible promises (example: a dubstep DJ that swears he’ll get everyone to dance, even the people who aren’t on ketamine). So a regulatory agency will be formed, and it will have agents vested with the power to ensure DJs comply with the policies and ethical guidelines associated with licensure. “Better to end early than suffer a bad DJ,” shall be their motto and these agents will be empowered to eject CDs, remove turntables needles, or unplug laptops, as necessary when they find a DJ in violation of those guidelines. This brings an end to the threat of having a DJ drop “Oops! I Did It Again” at the height of the party, as Polarbear did at the Black Rock Hoedown at Burning Man in 1999. Oh, the humanity! Drug testing will be mandatory, though the music you play will determine whether the tests should be positive or negative. Aggrieved promoters can bring their cases to the agency, and DJs found to be afoul will suffer disbarment and be banned from entering clubs or bars for the rest of their lives.

And now
this week’s featured mix on The RIPEcast, MoPo’s live set from Breakfast
of Champions this year..
“I got to BOC at 8 AM,
having already been awake for 24-hours producing Sea of Dreams, and
playing a 3-hour set there in Silent Disco. The plan was to drop gear,
then head home for a nap as my set was at 6pm. As the day wound on I
realized that going home would be the end of me, so I figured I should
tough it out. Besides, after wanting to play this party for so long,
maybe this was simply the final flaming hoop Id have to jump through to
earn the right. Right? Better said than done. The day wore on. Good
conversation, some dance, a burger, a bloody, my throat growing raspier
and more sore. Id look at my watch and it would mock me by saying
“11:30” or “1:15” . By 2pm I couldn’t even talk anymore and was
relegated to “that guy who whispers in everyone’s ears at parties”.
Somewhere along the way I realized I didn’t have Serato Cds, a
potentially devastating development if I couldn’t find some blanks.
Thankfully, Kramer HAD blanks which I paid for
by promptly spilling his full beer all over him. Now I’m THAT GUY too.”
“At 4 Clarkie went on and sprayed flaming gasoline on the
crowd while I nervously burned my Cds behind him. At 5, Aaron Pope went
on and reminded us why he’s one of the finest dance-music Djs in the Bay
Area… Just an outstanding set, energetic, funky, yet progressive-enough
for the tweakers. A VERY hard act to follow.
By this point, I’m going on 36 hours or so so its basically adrenaline
and redbull. I figured my go-to thematic funk/rock remix stuff would be
too tough a transition from Pope so I stayed with the more beat-centric
stuff earlier, then downshifted into the chunky later as it got darker.
It seemed to work really well. To my surprise, the techier stuff was
less effective than anything with a rap or a hook (my go-to territory
anyway). When I downshifted into the funky stuff (“Earthlings” and
“Jungle Jam”) and my own edits, the crowd really just erupted. It seemed
like folks were about ready to rock out, so we went there. Towards the
end, the security told me I had 10 minutes, so I dropped the tempo and
went into a few midtempo bangers with the idea that Id close out with
“Whistlers Delight” which ends on Monty Python’s “Always Look on the
Bright Side of Life”. As it turned out, 3 minutes into this Andrea got
them to give us another hour and I upshifted into Neighbour’s
“Superstition” so that 8Ball and Zach Moore could take it home. All in
all I couldn’t have been more thankful of the opportunity to play for
most of everyone I love at one of my favorite all-time get downs.” –

Hipster Fixie Vamps (aka Fri happy hr at Mars Bar, Puttin' on Ritz Sat, and more)
Hello Friendly Person
I’ll be honest, I’ve been having a tough time since Corey Haim died. But not just because of the tragedy of it all, I mean the guy was Lucas fer chrissake! What I’m really mourning is the passing of my dreams to snorting blow off the backsides of models with Hollywood’s finest at the Mondrian after establishing myself as a highly successful screenwriter. See, when Corey Haim was put in a coffin so was my great idea for a sequel to Lost Boy—a sequel that would reboot Haim’s career, kick-start mine, and turn the whole vampire craze inside out. I might as well share the outline with you now, since you are the only audience who will ever know about this important piece of cinematic cogitation.
FADE IN:
We have a slow opening SHOT on a foggy night in SF. We know it’s foggy because you can hear the fog HORNS, plus there’s all this FOG. It’s all very EVOCATIVE.
We’re up in Twin Peaks and it seems like a pleasant enough spooky night, until we hear the scared PANTING of some guy. Then we see him, and he’s this old cyclist in one of those gay, tight spandex cycling body suits, and he’s peddling hard and looking back over his shoulder like he’s scared for his LIFE or something. He races by the camera, and then we hear sinister LAUGHING, peddling, and WHOOSHING. We don’t see the originators of this cacophony of chaos, but we know they’re bad because they sound EVIL.
CUT TO the biker guy. He’s at the top of Twin Peaks now, he’s out of breath, but he’s prepared to keep going. Then there’s a WHOOSHING sound and get suddenly gets a FLAT TIRE. He SCREAMS. Now with a flat tire, the guy is totally at the mercy of the evil that’s pursued him, and he’s in trouble because these things have NO MERCY. The last we see of him is a shot from ABOVE, as something evil descends on him, lifts him off his bike, and carries him off into fog and LAUGHTER.
MUSIC plays and the credits roll: LOST BOYS: FIXIE HIPSTER VAMPS OF DOOM
Then we INTRODUCE the protagonist. His name is BRODY, and he’s an extremely good-looking kid from the mid-west who’s moved to San Francisco with his younger brother with dreams of opening an organic coffee shop in the Mission. For now, though, he settles for working in an organic coffee house in the Mission and working on his bicycle, which is rad. It’s clear Brody is not local, though, because he doesn’t have a beard or skinny jeans, and none of his tshirts are at all ironic.
CUT TO an evening shot of Market Street. It’s CRITICAL MASS and Brody is riding with his brother on rad bikes, attempting to make friends. Brody’s attention is captured by an extremely hot, but dark and evil-looking chick with BANGS, riding a fixie. Her name is DAPHNE and she eye fucks Brody until he starts to ride towards her, and then she rides away to join a group of extremely good-looking HIPSTER FIXIE VAMPS who are riding along side Critical Mass, looking mean. They all have these IRONIC beards, plus skinny jeans, and some of them even look HOMELESS-CHIC. Daphne rides with them and she has big SUNGLASSES. They take on look at Brody’s bike, which is not a fixie, and they laugh and ride away menacingly.
THE PLOT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE IN A CAPTIVATING WAY
Brody is compelled to hang out with the evil Fixie Hipsters, who push him to his bicycle riding LIMITS. Brody is pretty cool, but they’re like ‘meh’. Later, Brody’s brother notices that Brody is wearing skinny jeans, and he’s started to grow a beard. He’s starting to CHANGE.
THE PLOT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE IN AN EVEN MORE CAPTIVATING WAY
Later in the story, there’s a CONFRONTATION, wherein Brody is forced to confront the head Hipster Vamp. Brody’s brother enlists the help of Corey Haim and Frank Chu to fight the vampires, and Frank uses his 12 Galaxies sign as a stake, which impales the lead vampire and FREES San Francisco from the curse of the evil Hipster Fixie Vamps.
Or does IT?

Soul of Man on the Gough Street Sessions
So earlier this week an unexpected treat was dropped into the Gough Street inbox by our good friend Justin Rushmore, one half of the extraordinary production duo known as Soul of Man (Fingerlickin’ Records). It’s the second volume in Justin’s “Breakin’ in the House” series, a delectable 86-minute everything-but-the-kitchen-sink mash-up that leaves no genre unsampled.
“In recent years DJ sets have been getting back to their eclectic roots, mashing up genres”, says Justin. “In this mix I’ve taken my favorite current house, breaks, disco, electro, techno, even dubstep tunes. These are the big ones destroying my dance floors! Subfocus, Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada, Slyde, Cirez D, Elite Force, Evil 9 and more. Plus, an exclusive tune from my new project Rushmore & Fiasco ‘The Vibe’. Enjoy the Selection!” (And enjoy it we will, Justin. No worries there. I think it’s safe to say this mix is about to find its way to the top of many iTunes playlists!)
There are two ways you can get Justin’s “Breakin in the House” mix: 1. Directly from Box.net 2. Or by subscribing to the Gough Street Sessions
Raining on our parade (thanks for those who came out to the End Up) 4
First off, I want to thank everyone who came on down to the End Up for The Show this past Saturday. It was a really freekin’ fun time. The DJs rocked it and the dance floor was packed the entire night, even with the rain. It was great to see so many familiar faces and hang out with a bunch of new ones at that. I really want to thank everyone for their patience in dealing with the line (and the door process in general). Many of you heeded our advice and came down early (thank you!) and yet encountered an unnecessarily long line. Many of you were rock-stars and patiently waited, and some understandably bailed. I want to personally apologize for that unnecessary part. That’s not how the Space Cowboy’s roll. We talked to the club about it as it was going down; and WE did everything we could at the time to get you solid peeps in there…. but it still didn’t go down not exactly as we would like, and I personally was frustrated about it. There were certain behaviors by the door staff that just weren’t acceptable… and assure you that you’ve got no better advocates than us, we take a quality night out seriously AND CLEARLY SO DO YOU!!! So thanks again for coming down, (despite our soggy weather) and rockin’ it with us again!
On the upside, all this soggy weather means killer conditions in Tahoe, and we’re getting stoked about SnowFest! It’s Friday March 5th – Sunday March 7th. Much of it will be similar to last year (why not? that shit went off!) ... Rockin’ it slope-side at Squaw all day on Friday and Saturday; with nocturnal mayhem Friday night at Squaw and Saturday night in Tahoe City at the Lakeside. Get your lodging squared away now, and get ready for some alpine shenanigans!
Let it snow!
