WEEK OF 5.14.13 // TUESDAY // ALBUM LISTENING PARTY  Join us as we give VAMPIRE WEEKEND’s newest LP a listen. MODERN VAMPIRES OF THE CITY has a decidedly darker aesthetic than the previous two albums, and we’ve heard the band avoided some of their more base pop instincts… We have a lot of respect for this act, and so we’re going to give the new album a proper vinyl listen tomorrow! Beers and promo posters available for attendees.  NEEDLE DROPS AT 8PM WEDNESDAY // MOVIE SCREENING  Those of you familiar withPRIMER know exactly what an exciting director Shane Carruth is.  Join us as we check out his sophomore effort,UPSTREAM COLOR. “As technically brilliant as it is narratively abstract, Upstream Color represents experimental American cinema at its finest — and reaffirms Shane Carruth as a talent to watch.”  SCREENING AT 7PM SATURDAY // TOUCH DJ SESSION This Saturday we invite ANGEL (@iehousemusic) to the Touch tables for an all vinyl house music set to be recorded for oursoundcloud feed. “Not everyone understands House Music. It’s a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing.” -Angel  DJ SET AT 8PM

MOVIE SCREENING // WEDNESDAY 5.7.13 AT 7PM

Just in time for the return of Fela! to the Ahmanson, Touch Vinyl proudly presents Music Is The Weapon. Directed in 1982 by French documentarians Stephane Tchal-Gadjieff and Jean Jacques Flori, this is perhaps the definitive cinematic document of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the inventor of Afrobeat. Filmed in Lagos, Nigeria as Kuti was fresh out of one of many prison stints, Music Is The Weapon captures live performances at his mythical Shrine nightclub, as well as the unflinching opinions and philosophies on politics, panafricanism, music, and religion that made the man such a singular threat to his country’s brutal military regime, and such a hero to the people that they affectionately dubbed him their “Black President.”
