Soundtrack - The Harder They Come - so I actually didn’t already own this. Only $5 from a 5th ave street vendor. Mint!
My strictly vinyl evening (note the lack of ska, punk, and reggae… gotta force myself to break it up now and again).
My super productive day: slept till 1, jam session with former bandmate from way back, wrote in my damn journal, wrote in my damn moleskine nyc notebook, and blogged about last night’s CD release show with hannah vs the many.
We know you’ve all been waiting for this moment and the time has finally come… for our first contest!!
Anti Records, Dualtone Records, Vanguard Records, Kill Rock Stars Records, Brushfire Records and Barnone Records each sent us some records to include in this giveaway. A full list of the vinyl is below!

This shit is cool.
Recent vinyl acquisitions 11/21/10 - thank you Brooklyn Flea (the indoor version, not as cool as the outdoor version).
Recently Acquired Vinyl: The Aggrolites “IV” - but it’s only got 11 cuts? The CD has like 28… Grabbed it at The Sound Garden in Baltimore.
I’m still missing the “Reggae Hit L.A.” lp.

Ska 7” of the Month Club
Coming this summer as a joint effort from Asbestos Records, Underground Communique Records, and the nice folks at Skaisdead.com will be an amazing little project that combines our obsession with dead genres and dead formats. Each series will be a set of 6 split 7”s from some of our favorite bands that **gasp** have the audacity to still play ska, and ska influenced punk rock in the year 2010. Available by subscription only, every other month you will receive two brand spanking new 7” records featuring both established, and up and coming acts including Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug, Big D & the Kids Table, Bomb the Music Industry!, The Slackers, Sonic Boom Six, and more!
