Hey Everybody!

Just wanted to alert you to the awesome news that myself (DJ Merchbot2000) and Spencer “DJ Fat Buddy Holly” Moody will be spinning records for you at the Beauty Bar in Portland on April 2nd. That’s a Friday, so thats a good day to come listen to us play you records you like. And ones you’ve never heard, but probably will like. You are encouraged to dance, but if you want to sit and have a drink (of your choice) and just enjoy thats cool too.

I plan on bringing a mix of 1960s Girl Groups, Bubblegum, Soul and Garage, 1970’s Funk, 1980’s Hip-hop and maybe some French Pop mixed in.

Booty-funk? Sure.

Goth-dub? Maybe.

We will be spinning real live records. LPs. We will not be using laptops. We don’t have that software and wouldn’t know what to do with it if we did.

Hope to see some of you there.

These Coachella inspired Moz City Devils shirts are all sold out now.

Both are available over at The Winner Circle.

They sound real good. We listened to “Thelema” first, six amazing tracks full of venom and promise. It was nice to hear “364 Days” on a snowy Seattle afternoon. We followed that up with “In Name and Blood” which is has some surprises on it toward the end and contains my absolute favorite MCD track “I Drink the Wine”. It also has “Press Gang” and “Rum to Whiskey”, total fucking cuts.

About then Gabe had to take off and I put on the self titled lp and washed some dishes.

That self titled album is built for dishwashing, that is a compliment. I love a good dishwashing record. It takes a certain quality to achieve classic chore jams. Dillinger Four’s “Versus God” record is the perfect album to wash some fucking dishes to, the Filth/Blatz Shit Split is also handy. I had totally forgotten about gems like “Sick of Dreaming” and “Flashbulb” and its always a treat to hear “Get off the Floor” and “Murder City Riot”.

It’s funny, because of my preference for the live album (which is practically perfect in every way) I haven’t listened to these ones all that much. But they stand up, I had fun listening to them again and it got me stoked on hearing some of these tracks live. We’ll have all these fancy new editions as well as some other fun surprises with us.

Now I’m going to put these motherfuckers up on ebay, sorry duders, but I gotta get that money.  I’m kidding, I’ll be trading them for pills, duh.

Gabe asked me to blog something for all of you, so here it is. I am pretty stoked that this tour is going down and everyone else is too. Something I would like people to know about is that the fine folks down at Lucky Horse Industries recently started selling Spencers amazing paintings via thier webstore.
