I Love Vinyl

Our own Scribe and his cuz cuz Justin Strauss are back this Friday with their monthly Cousin Cousin party at the303. Haus Disko Dans...

Scribe and Justin Strauss are cousins. Together they are Cousin Cousin (pr. Koo-'zan Koo-'zan). It's french for Cousin Cousin. Oui oui. Cousin Cousin is a brand new party starting this Friday at a brand new venue called the303 at Louie & Chan , in Chinatown. It's exactly the kind of place that we love. Small, dark, great sound system, and great people. Disco, House, and all that good stuff. See you there. You can follow Cousin Cousin on Tumbler , Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , Mixcloud , and Soundcloud at lecousincousin. Merci.

Check out our very own The Twilite Tone and I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side as featured in this great video tribute to the borough of Brooklyn by Francesco Paciocco .

This is a picture of the cover of what is considered to be the very first "LP" (long playing) record, as they came to be known, introduced in June of 1948. To celebrate the 65th anniversary of the format, the Brooklyn Museum , in conjunction with I Love Vinyl, is throwing a massive all-vinyl dance party on Thursday June 20 from 7-10pm in the Glass Pavilion. We call it LP48. Sound Liberation Front will provide their incredible "Tower Of Sound" custom-built high-fidelity sound system. The event is all-ages, and FREE (suggested donation). Get there early if you want to get in. As the flyer says, there will also be a Mini Record Fair, with vendors curated by I Love Vinyl, including Turntable Lab , Brooklyn Bowl 's Collect-I-Bowl , and Natasha Diggs ( Mobile Mondays ) representing Brooklyn Flea . Promotional support generously provided by our friends and vinyl community leaders old and new,  Wax Poetics , Dust & Grooves , Vnylst , and Vinylfy .

This Saturday marks four years since the very first I Love Vinyl party at the Gallery at LPR back in 2009, so we are throwing ourselves a Birthday Party, and you are all invited! To make things more festive, we have invited a few talented friends to join us. Natasha Diggs of Mobile Mondays will be joining us on the decks. And Dee Phunk of Rare Form/Donuts Are Forever  joins us as special guest Master of Ceremonies. Four years is a long time in club land these days, so we feel very lucky to still be here. That wouldn't be possible without you, so, THANK YOU! We look forward to showing you our appreciation the best way we know how... See you Saturday!

This Saturday, Scribe and Ge-ology plan on having the place jumping at the afterparty for Harlem Stage's Takeover dance event. Tickets and info here .

The boat party has been cancelled, so we will be here all night instead. Dream Teamers The Twilite Tone and DJ Scribe will be joining the Midnight Magic boys at their monthly shindig, Tropical Ice Cream at the Public Assembly Loft in Williamsburg until the wee hours. See you there!

GE-OLOGY's monthly solo residency is back, now at Polar Lounge, where many of the SubMercer's orphaned parties have found a new home. Life On Mars on Friday, I Love Vinyl on Saturday. Sleep on Sunday.
