ITS TIME! SUBMISSIONS OPEN! Join us in submitting all your plastic camera joy! We are now accepting submissions for Plastic Fantastic: Lo-Fi Dreams, a Plastic Camera art exhibit showcasing the work of all artists using plastic camera photography in their work. If you used an instant back, Polaroid, Holga, Diana, or some amazing monster you made, we want it. Hosted at the legendary 540 Bar, this summer show will fill the space with snapshots of our lives seen through a plastic camera lens. Must use a plastic camera element of any kind. The finished product can be straight photography, collage, mixed media, etc - the world is your oyster as long as we can hang it on a wall.

It's a busy ass week for music in the Bay Area. Noise Pop Week is here. Who are you going to see? Do you have any recommendations? Sound off in the comments. Personally, I'm going to see Stephen Malkmus, SML, Tortoise and if I've got any gas left come Sunday, the Sun Ra Arkestra. This Friday and sandwiched in between all the above is Directions In Stereo with yours truly, dj Circuit73. One of my favorite record labels out of Chicago has two acts on the Noise Pop bill this Friday. Post-everything legends – @trts – and arguably the hottest jazz quartet on the planet right now – @sml.band so our theme for the evening is "Chicago" with emphasis on record labels @intlanthem @thrilljockey , Hefty Records and more, spanning all genres and eras from past to present.

As I type up this post on the 27th day of 2026, it honestly feels like we've lived through several years already. So much is going on that my head has started to spin in the opposite direction. And my mood has reached a level of sour that candy wouldn't even want me added to it. On top of that, its dry January. Fuuuuuuuck! I need music and 540 ASAP! Join me resident dj Circuit73 aka @inkletterman this Friday at @540bar as the first Directions In Stereo of 2026 cues up, an eclectic, fascist fighting, sonic backdrop for the evening. It's gonna be an all vinyl, variety mix to the max! Grab a drink (without ice) and listen with us. I'm gonna be spinning a bunch of tunes from 2025 that I didn't get to last month plus some gems from years past to soothe the soul. So expect to hear funk, folk, jazz, rock, reggae, disco, techno, soul, house, broken beat and everything in between, spanning all eras past and present. It's true music heals.
