Aquarius Records

Ha, I meant that John will actually be at this specific screening!

Ah now that is true!

Okay, good news for folks if you've not seen it yet:

"It Came From Aquarius Records" the feature length documentary about the beloved, esoteric San Francisco record store announces its streaming debut via Amazon Prime begins in July.

yay! i will finally get to see it!

I'm so looking forward to seeing this, though looks like that Amazon thing didn't quite happen yet. This was posted on the official Facebook just yesterday:

This was a nice surprise!! Another ‘best of’ award for It Came From Aquarius Records!! Thanx a time to the folks at #internationaldocumentaryfilmfestival !Look for the film in the coming months in Amazon - deets soon!

Does the doc talk about when Windy and a couple others protested the Job's Daughters*/Sun City Girls (?) show by throwing paint at the performers for performing in yellow face/kabuki?

My memory of this is v. hazy, pretty sure it was Bottom Of The Hill in the 90s, not having any luck finding anything on the internet of course.

*ft members of TFUL282, Caroliner, The Double U, etc.

It was a different TFUL282 offshoot:

Wow thank you jabers.... My memory is obviously rather compromised in my convalescence.

But just 👀 at this BK quote:

And I thought, "Here's someone who runs an underground record store, selling odious shit like Pavement and the Mountain Goats, and she considers herself less of an assimilationist than Indians running an Indian music store in Nashville? Or a Cantonese opera singer from Kowloon?"

Well that's all a snapshot in time, isn't it.

Brently went on to be in Neung Phak fwiw

thats not B.O.T.H. tho right?

Chameleon which was on Valencia btw 19th & 20th which turned into Amnesia (anyone remember The Chatterbox?).

In my mind I confused the show with Sun City Girls/3 Day Stubble show at BOTH which was also CONTROVERSIAL.

I think Pants Yell were on this label. Their show at the Cake Shop was an early memory.

So the official Facebook page mentioned some "cool news" coming in September that never materialized, and nothing at all since. It'd be really nice if 2024 was finally the year it was able to be seen without traveling to sparse private screenings.

I'd gladly pay to stream it. And I'd really gladly pay for a reprint of the "new wave music is our specialty" shirt!

Yeah, I'm absolutely ready to pay for watching this in any format.

Heh, guess this thread will be just me bumping it for my periodic disappointment over it seemingly being stuck perpetually in limbo.

Even the official Facebook page for it, which used to update on upcoming screenings and developments has turned into just updates on what the guy who runs it is listening to/reading.

Even a word of encouragement that things are in the works would be nice, but I guess this thing is just kinda dead now.

Ha, and here is said word of encouragement. Looking at August 2024 on a streaming service yet to be determined. From the official Facebook page:

Finally! I can finally say that the Aquarius Records doc will be hitting the streaming networks in August 2024. Locked in a distributor - MVD Entertainment Group - who is helping get this thing out there. Stay tuned for details on the streaming premiere date and what channels will carry it!
