See Moir Music: It's October
Boooooooooo
That was a spooky reference. I'm tired, but my email keeps filling up with fun-sounding shows, so here's my curated recommendations!
Where I’ll Be
I’ve been bailing on a lot of shows lately but I’m like, 85% committed to this list.
Sat 10/16 — Noise Pop 20th St Block Party
Sat 10/16 — Black Coffee and Moodymann at the Bridge Yard
It's sold out so no link for you. I will definitely be here. Psyched for Black Coffee DJ set.
Fri 11/5 — Booka Shade (live) at the Great Northern
We'll see how a Live show is, I'm almost more inclined to see DJ sets these days.
Sat 11/6 — Guy Mantzur, Andhim, Rodriguez Jr, and I think one other Guy? at the SF Mint
A town in a D&D campaign I'm in is named Mantzur now because I was listening to Guy Mantzur during the mission that night. Love a good day party with excellent DJs.

A remix of one of her tracks got me into Franc Moody, so I recommend.

I have been noodling on music recommendation patterns still, and the changing shape of discovery as streaming continues to dominate. Not spaghetti yet tho.
