Here’s some news: I’m going to be DJ’ing at The Rosemount every thursday from August onward until the end of time. It’s going to be a lot of fun, I have big plans that will slowly unfold over the next few months at this. If you want to keep up with this, the official web presence is on Twitter at @tf_pleasuredome.

Here’s the press release:

Up Fitzgerald Street, across from a bowling alley, next to a room full of live music, in the belly of The Rosemount lies a mystical beer garden. Within this magical space, the faeries* are all a-twitter.

Tomás Ford, the local crown prince of electro showmanship, is coming; it has been heard upon the wind. And he is bringing along records to play. In preparation, the Rosie faeries are planning thousands of cocktails to pour into punters for only $10 each. They are delicately preparing their Thursday night specialty, a $12 Parmigiana. They are hastily pouring jugs of Ted’s for $10. They are firing up the heaters. It’s an exciting time.

What is he going to be playing in this mysterious beer garden? It’s anybody’s guess, and anybody who tries will probably get it wrong. Whatever it is, it’s going to be fun. Genre-wise, we’re talking everything from alt-rock to minimal techno through punkfunk under stoner rock via authentic gay disco alongside delta blues vs oldschool hip hop classics and youtube sensations mashed into 70’s glam tripping over psychadelia with R. Kelly while exploring musique concrete and discovering the latest Korean pop hits. Actually, it would probably be more succinct to say “Tomás will spin anything that isn’t The Cat Empire.”

So yeah, no Cat Empire. If the rest sounds at all confusing, don’t worry, his soothing dulcet vocal tones will be there to narrate you through the nights’ musical story until everyone gets kicked out for being rowdy at around 1am.

Tomás will also be spinning the latest new release local music for you and people who make music are encouraged to bring their forthcoming cd’s down to the night for him to throw them into the mix (or else email an mp3 to management [at] tomasford.com). Actually, speaking of local music the Pleasuredome happens simultaneously with Space Ship News’ brilliant Thursday night live lineups on the Rosie’s inside.

In the leadup to the debut night on Thursday August 5, why not hop on Twitter and check out all the gossip about what’s going to happen? The night’s official twitter is @tf_pleasuredome (or http://twitter.com/tf_pleasuredome), and you can send requests and heckles there too.
