New Alison Goldfrapp, Tyler the Creator and Everything Else You Heard at The Mermaid on 8/17/25

It’s been a minute since I’ve DJed at The Mermaid, long enough where I hadn’t seen how the corner near the DJ booth now looks like an underwater cave (see pic above). It’s super cute. Anyhow, last night was an open format set, so you heard everything from new Alison Goldfrapp and Tyler the Creator … Continue reading New Alison Goldfrapp, Tyler the Creator and Everything Else You Heard at The Mermaid on 8/17/25 →

New Wet Leg and Everything Else You Heard at The Mermaid for Splash on April 20, 2025

One of the first things I learned as a baby DJ was that genres aren’t all that useful. On a very basic level, they can refer to stylistic conventions (dub) or specific movements (punk) or both (hip-hop), but then the terms get overused (post-punk) and are totally watered down (psychedelic) until they become a meme … Continue reading New Wet Leg and Everything Else You Heard at The Mermaid for Splash on April 20, 2025 →

The Legend of the Stardust Brothers is playing on one of the TV sets inside The Mermaid when I arrive. The movie is bonkers in the best way possible and, since it just started, I take that as a sign that tonight’s going to be a good night. And it is.
