San Francisco loves its
old soul nights--but next weekend (Feb. 21 to be exact) there's party that offers two stories of nostalgia (or whatever the word is when you miss something you weren't old enough to live through in the first place) in one club with
Sugar Shack. Upstairs at the
Paradise you've got your French Pop with DJs Sergio Iglesias
and friends (who collectively are billing themselves as California's only
"all French night"--but hey, what about
Bardot a Go Go?). Downstairs you've got a battle of the '60s with pretty much all the great oldies vinyl slingers in town (
Rooky Ricardo's Dick Vivian among them). Seven bucks will get you in and dance lessons will get you coordinated.
On a related note: one new old CD that's been blowing my mind is
Light in the Attic's reissue of the Serge Gainsbourg's
Histoire De Melody Nelson, a
musical retelling of
Lolita featuring the perverted old crooner and his young lover Jane Birkin first released in 1971. Get your clammy hands on it March 24. Creepy taboos never sounded so sexy.
