Millions around the world are blowing off work today to stay home and groove on Gary Wilson’s new Tip Records album, Feel the Beat, available at iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Spotify, Google Music and a digital outlet near you. Evidently, Gary Wilson Day was first proclaimed by the City Council of Escondido, CA, but the movement soon spread to El Cajon, Santee, Chula Vista, Elfin Forest and Pueblo Siding, among other San Diego area municipalities, as well everywhere else on the planet.

The year’s Tipmas finds devotees at Duncan/Channon celebrating the First Annual Tip Records Holiday Extravaganza on Friday, November 4. This solemn/utterly ridiculous day marks the official launch of Tip Records and official release of the new Gary Wilson album on Tip Records, as well as the official annual celebration of the entire Tip Records roster of superstars. It also marks the official release of a bunch of whoop-dee-do involving food, fire, booze, hotpants and rubber gloves. Due to overwhelming demand, 2011′s Tipmas observances will be taking place at the Public Works venue in San Francisco’s swingin’ Mission. A happy Tipmas in advance to all!

For reals. The man about whom Beck sang, in “Where It’s At”: “My man Gary Wilson rocks the most.” The man whom the New York Times called “odd” and “wonderful.” The man about whom they made the documentary You Think You Really Know Me, which premiered at Lincoln Center. The man who performed on Jimmy Fallon last year because ?uestlove is one of his big fans (another one is Matt Groening).
Yeah, that Gary Wilson.
And on November 4, 2011, Tip Records — yeah, that Tip Records, an otherwise inexplicable division of Duncan/Channon — is going to release Gary’s next album, Feel the Beat, which happens to be the same day he headlines the First Annual Tip Records Holiday Extravaganza at Public Works in San Francisco. True story (unlike some of the stuff on this site).

Medical anthropologist and cyber sexpert Laura G. Duncan brought her rollicking, yet thoroughly educational, “Hey, Where’s My Robot Girlfriend?” multimedia show to the Tip on Friday night, accompanied by the dulcet electronica of Chel C. Faith and the ritual rooftop sacrifice of 600 Hog Island oysters. Any androids that showed up were well-disguised, but the joint was packed with meatware, who giggled nervously, ogled admiringly or drowned rampant feelings of inadequacy in custom cocktails like “Robot Sex on the Beach.” Photos, video and more at the-tip.org.

Brooklyn-based medical anthropologist/Trekkie Laura Duncan (no relation) presents the first officially NSFW Toast of the Tip, “Hey, Where’s My Robot Girlfriend? – An Exploration of Sexual Robotics, Teledildonics and Carnal Technology.” So you get our drift. But beyond the titillating (no pun) headline, it’s a fascinating picture of what’s really going on in sci-fi and in a real-life subculture that has discovered a deeper engagement with machines. It seems all too appropriately inappropriate that on September 30 she will find her way to the Tip.

It may have been all-acoustic, but it rocked, massively. Our first rooftop Tunes of the Tip was nothing short of – dare we say it – beautiful. When Rachel launched into her accapella rendition of Roy Orbison’s “Crying,” it appeared several guests were doing just that.
