Night Fog Reader is a new blog devoted to local independent music in San Francisco. They’ve got news and reviews, interviews and the occasional mix.
A couple weeks back, we listened to a new single by ’60s throwback Nick Waterhouse, and since then it seems Nick has put together a special mix just for Night Fog Reader readers. It’s full of a bunch of nasty vintage sounds, all ripped directly from the original vinyl. What a treat!
I’m a few songs in, and it’s sounding pretty choice so far. Click here to have a listen.

dude, just stumbled across this blog the other day. why do we need a shitty local music blog like this when i can read the bay guardian/the weekly/the chronicle/the baybridged? It sucks, it’s stale, there’s no soul in the writing, all the “articles” sound like wikipedia entries or press releases. LAME.
there will always be haters.
Seriously, dude. It’s new. Give them a chance to find their voice. If all we ever had to choose from were established publications, we’d be in pretty bad shape.
but Michelle and I started this mostly because there are some relevant music happenings that should be archived, noted, and aren’t covered by some of those publications. We also wanted to give a space for musicians to give back on a more intimate platform. the publications you listed are all great too — if you actually read the site you’d note that Michelle is a writer for The Guardian and The Chron.
and thanks for posting this Allan! Glad you liked the mix. we’ve got another mix coming out this week, along with some more goodies!

agreed. stale. where was the coverage when Caroliner played recently? A band that has been around for decades, is amazing and not well known and not really seeking “publication”.
