What’s up friends and famalam! Hope everyone is strong in their hustle and loving life and giving thanks on a daily basis. I truly apologize for the sparse updates… I guess that out of my many many hats, bloggeur is one I rarely wear. But I’ve been missing you guys, and I’m sure you’ve been missing me as well… yeah… uh, right? um.  ok.       and moving on!

Things have been hectic around the shop, but in the best way. Mad records are coming through on a regular basis, and flying out just as fast… I’ve rarely had a moment to spare. But busy is a blessing, and one I’m very much counting in this time of turmoil. We’ve got plans for a big throwdown around the time of the upcoming WFMU record convention, so keep your ear to the pavement and you might hear the rumble. Get thowed with record royalty! We come to play so bring your highest alcohol tolerance.

Real quick note - I was in California for several days last week along with my fellow Good Records soldier Tom Delay. I want to give a strong shout out to my family out there: Justin Torres, Bret Sweet, Kirby Dominant, and everyone else that kept the visit so live. If you’re ever in San Francisco get with my man Cool Chris Veltri at The Groove Merchant (easily the best source for rare records on the west coast). He’ll never stear you wrong.

Anyways, if you’re getting like me and freaking out about our current financial situation, foreign policy, and presidential election… you’re probably not getting a lot of work done (self: I should be blogging!) and hitting refresh on sites like 538 and RCP. So why don’t you take your time value spent on the internet, convert it into dollars, and send it to my mans and them Barack Obama! I’m not playing. See me in Youngstown OH election weekend! No lie!
