Sorry INTER-TRON, DJ Tom Hanks Has Bigger Fish to Fry

Yes, I know it has been a month since I posted anything on here. And yes, I am horribly apologetic. But as most of you know, I am on my way to becoming a hot shot lawyer that eats cheesesteaks for dinner and souls for breakfast and lunch. But before I can dump hot sauce on purgatory, I have to actually study for exams and whatnot around this time of year. So listen to the new Metric, download a 13th Floor Elevators album, and smoke while doing so.

Although I'm not done til May 11th, I turn 26 on May 7th and you can bet your ass there is gonna be a raucous birthday edition of POUNDTOWN at Footsie's next Wednesday the 6th. Instead of taking a test on my b-day like last year, I'll be half-shitfaced on Chimay by the time the clock strikes May 7th next week. Stay tuned for specifics but save the date...we're going to smoke lightning and stab unicorns at Footsie's next Wednesday. Holla!



To help get ready, download my 26th B-day theme song "Redlights" by Salem. It is just one of several slamming tracks on their "Yes I Smoke Crack EP" out now on Patrick North's Acephale Records

I'd bookmark that page and check back often because our boy North, in addition to being an all-around grizzled motherfucker, has better taste than literally everyone I know. I mean...shit...Salem? Listen to that fucking track up there! Who the fuck knows where to find goth-crunk kids in Echo Park, let alone Traverse City, Michigan? You gotta be kidding me!

But I guess we should have expected the realness from a dude who looks like Tad and posted my first mix before I did. Those of us scoffing at the Burbank police blotter are envious.

NO POUNDTOWN THIS WEEK

Due to yet another mix up at the Pound City chamber of commerce, the rocket ship to POUNDTOWN will not blast off this Wednesday as previously indicated. Instead, we're chopping up the 1st class section to make way for more masses and rescheduling our maiden ascent. Basically, we're gonna keep hyping the fuck out of the party and push back til the aformentioned third Wednesday of the month. From then on, non stop service to POUNDTOWN will depart from Footsie's every single 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month.
As a consolation, you can catch your favorite Junky Cosmonaut DJ Tom Hanks in action at KXLU 88.9 the next two Tuesday mornings from 6-10 AM. Mysterious Ways indeed. Keep on pounding.

Sorry about the mix-up: Poundtown is the first and third WEDNESDAY of every month. If the kick-off jammer on Sunday was any indication, this night is gonna go off hard. So join me, DJ Tom Hanks (KXLU, SLU Records, S.T.A.Y.B.A.D.) and Camerin Kelly (Akasa, Trademark Records) as we put it down for the cool kids and music snobs. Holla holla!
And once again, here is a small sample of how we get down.

Yes, our much heralded psych and prog night finally begins at footsie's this weekend. While we are usually throwing down on the first and third thursday of every month, we're having a special "launch party" this sunday for our homies and avid psych heads. I mean, anyone can come but we're expecting what real promoters call a "soft opening." Meaning, our initial fan base will probably draw from the aforementioned groups of people we know and weirdo music aficionados.
Since our design man Cam'Ron was out of town, I had to draw from my minimal photoshop skills to produce the flyers you see here. Plus who the fuck makes flyers that advertise a launch party on a different night than the party itself? Shit, that sentence itself is confusing.



But come through if you like weirdo rock music from the sixties and seventies...than a big jump to today. While Ron is a purist and will probably only play old shit, I'm not opposed to hyphenating newer music that gets spacey. Basically, that means I'm playing new stuff and old stuff. Holla at me for some more instances of what we're trying to bring to the music snobs first...than the masses. And check my mix again, dammit!

DJ Tom Hanks: KXLU 2/17 @ 2AM

So...
Awesometown was dope last week and I kind of killed it. I mean, I didn't break new ground in terms of selection but I had the entire crowd dancing their asses off. And then everyone stopped dancing when I finished. I don't know why, but it is true. I brought a bunch of friends to Shortstop but literally none of them danced because they're cynical assbags. So yeah: DJ Tom Hanks makes all the girlies shake it shake it. And the dudes love it too. Check out Shadowscene's pictures from the night at Shadowscene.com.
And as a result, Terrel the boss man from Shortstop and Footsie's finalized my psych night. On March 1st, we will be having a launch party for Poundtown at Footsie's. Then Camerin and I will be doing every other Thursday night psych style. When we have the flyer/invite, it'll be here for your amusement.
Oh and one more thing:
KXLU TONIGHT/TOMORROW! 2AM-6AM
I'm not supposed to play too many of my own songs at first in favor of what they have at the station but hopefully, they will have a bunch of good albums for me to choose from.
I'm not posting any mp3 right now but check this: follow me at blip.fm and I'll be posting tracks all day.
