TOPH ONE, longtime DJ and friend of most people in SF was seriously injured in a hit & run accident last week. The community is coming together for a benefit at SOM this Sunday (100% of proceeds will be donated to Toph). We’re wishing Toph a speedy & complete recovery!
SOM. 2925 16th St.

Please join us Sunday January 22nd:
• $10-$20 Donations will be collected at the door (nobody turned away for a lack of funds), of which 100% will go directly to TOPH.
• SOM is donating 50% of bar sales.
• All of the DJs are donating their talents (so buy them a drink!)
All to raise funds for our comrade who has been dealt a serious set back.
Other ways you can help:
• Donate any goods that can be sold for a “silent auction” during the event.
• We need volunteers to collect donations at the door.

Dr. Goldstein from Free Gold Watch’s new mix with Dr. Klaw. He says, “It picks up where Hard Crack Candy left off years ago (if you can remember) and zaps you into the futuristic era of the 80′s. I’m talking electro, boogie, rap, new wave, light speed, robots, aliens, androids, ET, Jeff Goldblum, Tron, R2D2, all that, and then some. It’s pretty much a game changer.”

A friend was recently extolling the virtues of local Oaklandite, Mara Hruby. She rocks a nice cover of D’angelo’s “Send it On” as well as songs from Stereolab, Bob Marley, and Jamiroquai on her release, “From Her Eyes”. You can check out more of her music on her bandcamp page. Incidentally, she’s also playing tonight at Yoshi’s Oakland…
