“Some of the many reasons why Oakland’s DIY music scene is so special”

Bucky Sinister reading from new novel “Black Hole”
Bucky Sinister gave a reading of his brand new debut novel “Black Hole” at Pegasus Books in downtown Berkeley, CA on 2015-09-10 and Nicholas recorded some video of it and made a YouTube video. Check it out. The book is wonderful.
Santa Cruz Live Indie Rock! now hosted on this server.
Nicholas has re-engaged with this project after a several month pause. It was decided Bandcamp was not the appropriate server for these recordings as Bandcamp is a commerce site and this is a not for profit project, so all of the recordings are and will now be hosted on the Post-Consumer server. With this new configuration the streaming sound quality is better but the players may take a few seconds to start playing once engaged. The previous selection of live albums has been organized alphabetically by artist name and new updates (coming very soon) will be posted at the top of the list for a week or two before they are organized (alphabetically) with the rest.
