Re: (313) san fran
So are there a lot of San Franciscans on the list? I just moved here a couple of weeks ago from the DC area. I'm planning on hitting the Ark event on Saturday. It would be nice to meet a few more heads out here.

Re: (313) san fran
If you are in town on Saturday, french minimal producers Ark and Krikor are playing out at the Blue Cube downtown and there is an underground free-tekno party that night too. Email me if you want info. I agree, Amoeba is the mackdaddy. but not necessarily if you want the latest stuff. It's more about albums and the hunched over 12 hunt there. They also have a store on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley with slightly less selection. Tweekin actually has a decent selection of techno but I don't know about their mixtape selection (isn't that what we have this list and affiliated websites for?). They only carry really new stuff and you pay for it, as compared to Amoeba or Open Mind Records where you can get great deals on singles that were hot a year ago. I picked up Blackwater and Abe Duque at Tweekin recently for example. Next to Tweekin is the Future Primitive store where you will find trendy graffiti and hiphop shirts set up in a gallery fashion. Not my thing, but it's a popular spot and has quality urban art displayed. It used to be a drum and bass shop called Compound but I guess nobody likes that crap like they used to. And around the corner down the hill a little on Steiner street you will find the clothing store Upper Playground which has a lot of hip, Vice magazine type street wear mostly made by local designers if that's your thing. If you are a gearhead you should check out Robot Speak on the other side of Tweekin. It's like Guitar Center but just focused on the home dance music producer market. Lots of vintage machines like 808s, 303s, Korg vocoders and moogs as well as the latest vst instruments and software, and weird circuit bending custom electronic noise making thingamajiggers. There are always different synths set up to play with in the store and every few weeks they have classes on different software/hardware. Open Mind is a great, great store that i've mentioned on the list before and is somewhat in trouble financially so go support em. The techno/house buyer is John John and he's a real down to earth and knowledgable local lounge dj. They have the Ugly Edits series, and a used dance section sorted by labels including classics like Trax, DJ International, and newer labels. They also have a ton of hiphop and funk/soul records. They have a smaller selection of new and used cds. They are a little pricier than Amoeba, $3.99 for a 12 as opposed to .99, but they have listening stations and less crap pop records to go through. They are on Divisadero, a block north of haight street. Another great store for new records is In House Records tucked away on the second floor on Mission st. between 5th and 6th. Again, not sure about the mixtape selection. Of course, they focus on house but they have alot of the new crop of techy house type stuff like perlon, playhouse, etc. The guys there are really helpful and are very in touch with the club scene and what djs are playing out. They have a nice lounge area to smoke out and mix records at. it's a great atmosphere and they get new records on Wed. I think. Also quite pricey though (compared to used stores of course). For rave clothing and merchandise you could check out Ceiba in the lower Haight street area. It's like a psychadelic trance culture store (sounds scary and it kind of is, but nice people and cool video art in the store). jamie http://www.hurlbotics.com/mp3 Quoting dave cronin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: yeah, that's pretty much the call. go to the haight, get a shirt and then lose it (by spending 4 hours and $400 at Amoeba). If you want 313ish mix CD's, Amoeba's pretty much the only place you'll find a decent selection. If you want local house mixes, you should check out Tweakin (in the lower haight) and BPM (which just moved and i'm sorry to say that i can't recall where). --- garrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: wow, tweekin is still around? good for him.

Re: (313) san fran
there are many... or, there probably still are many... but definitely hit up Amoeba Records. it's @ 1855 Haight Street, (415) 831-1200 probably still the best overall selection in the city.
