My next DJ gig isn’t until September 29 (see the Upcoming Gigs section for details), but there is an event happening this weekend that I want to tell you about.
Analog Outlaw and Record Fair is happening on Sunday at 11 a.m. at Zebulon. It’s founded by James Weigel of Bibliomancers and Crystal Claire of Nooners Books and brings together publishers and vendors specializing in counterculture material. Plus, Mark Webber of Pulp will be DJing. I interviewed Weigel and Claire for Southern California News Group’s papers (that’s the Daily News here in L.A., plus Orange County Register and others). If you want to read the interview, click on this gift link which will get you past the paywall. This is going to be a really cool event for anyone who loves books and music that exist outside of the mainstream.
Of course, that’s far from the only thing happening this week, so scroll through the list and start making your plans. Everything listed below is pretty reasonably priced. I think the highest ticketed event is His Name Is Alive, which is a little over $30, at Zebulon, and, like, how often do you get to see His Name Is Alive? There are a handful of movie screenings on here too, including Perfect Blue (!!!) at Braindead on Saturday night for the Satoshi Kon fans. (And if you’re unfamiliar with the late anime director’s work, we need to change that.)
