Okay, I realize this post doesn't have a whole lot to do with Big Hair & Plastic Grass in particular, or '70s baseball in general. But if you dig '70s baseball, chances are you also dig '70s music — and along with writing, rocking, painting, cooking and taking pictures, I've also been known to spin the occasional wax platter. And this Thursday night, July 29, from 10 pm to 2 am, I'll be guest DJing at Bar 107, located at 107 W. 4th Street in downtown Los Angeles.
Resident DJs Jorge Onion and Anthony will be switching off all night with me, DJ Silky D (and I'm a Taurus, baby!), and we'll be spinning a wide variety of cool and danceable stuff, from old school funk to punk and indie. I'll be mostly working the '70s side of the street, of course — and all from vintage 45s — but I just may venture into some other eras, as well.
So come on down for cold beer, hot bartenders and righteous tunes at the only watering hole I've ever been to that has both a deer's head and a portrait of Barbra Streisand hanging behind the bar. Admission is free — how can ya lose? This isn't a BH&PG event, so I won't be reading from or selling the book; but if you wanna raise a glass with me between sets and discuss the brilliance of Manny Mota, I sure as hell won't say no...
