20 GOTO 10

i wasn’t aware of this since i’m not a follower of energy drinks.  not that this is new information, but anyways, from wikipedia:

Mate products are sometimes marketed as “caffeine-free” alternatives to coffee and tea, and said to have fewer negative effects. This is often based on a claim that the primary active xanthine in mate is “mateine”, erroneously said to be a stereoisomer of caffeine. As it is not chemically possible for caffeine to have a stereoisomer, this claim is false. “Mateine” is an official synonym of caffeine in the chemical databases.

According to the Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank, when guaranine is defined as only the caffeine chemical in guarana, it is identical to the caffeine chemical derived from other sources, for example coffee, tea, and mate. Guaranine, theine, and mateine are all synonyms for caffeine when the definitions of those words include none of the properties and chemicals of their host plants except the chemical caffeine. Natural sources of caffeine contain widely varying mixtures of xanthine alkaloids other than caffeine, including the cardiac stimulants theophylline and theobromine and other substances such as polyphenols which can form insoluble complexes with caffeine.

Pictures of the works from “Los Disappeared” can be found in the store. And theres more pictures of the opening from Pascal Wassum. More pictures of the opening from Joe Boyle.

I’d just like to mention that I just had another Po’ Boy sandwich at Brenda’s on Polk St. and they are freakin’ delicious.  Delicious enough to be an honarary hamburger and thus deserve a hamburger post.

We’ve always hung out with friends on Sundays at 20 GOTO 10 and this is the 2nd week of our MicroMusic podcast so I’ve decided to officially make Sundays the hang-out, drink beer and listen to music day.  All are welcome, and if you want to DJ just shoot us an email.  Every Sunday 3-6PM.

Hello people,

We now have a podcast that we do every sunday from 20 GOTO 10 by Starpause. Its a mix of micromusic and different trippy types of good jams. Subscribe by copy/pasting http://www.twentygoto10.com/blog/?feed=podcast into itunes or whatever you use or use this link.

This is the first attempt at getting this going so expect more stuff and better levels in our future episodes.

sometimes i cant look at anything visually pleasing without convincing myself its far too commercial.

sometimes i imagine stabbing my own eyes out in protest to this non-sense.

maybe i should grow a unix beard and support free software.

If you are into micromusic / toymod / mod tracking / 8-bit / videogame music, you should support the MicroMusic SF HQ and go to their launch party at Mighty on Thursday, Feb 7th. I’m personally into these kinda fun jams. Pretty reminiscent of old C64 demos.

Here’s the flier

This Thursday-Sunday are the last days for you to come see the ANSI exhibit if you haven’t gotten a chance to do so yet, and then its art history. After that, 20 GOTO 10 is back to business as usual. No more excessive publicity and ridiculously packed openings.
