Adam's Pick of the Week!
In some ways, this is Swamp Dogg-lite, but Thomas holds his own as a singer and drummer even though half of these songs are covers and the rest were penned by Swamp Dogg himself. Either way, Wolf's covers of 'People Get Ready' and 'If I Had A Hammer' rank up there with the best and the originals on here stand up to anything Swamp ever did on his own.
This one was a true rarity for years until it's reissue on Alive a few years back. You can and should pick it up at saki right now! Even if you don't care for the outsider soul found in the grooves, that cover art alone is worth the price.

saki Newsletter 01/20/2015
What a week! In addition to what passes for warm weather this time of year, we also had two crazy fun events with our Dastardly listening party and a split 7" release show for Regular Fucked Up People and Boring People. Dastardly's new album is not available yet, so if you didn't come you missed a chance to hear it WAY in advance, but the RFUP/BP 7" is for sale now! We highly recommend picking one up and checking out the other stuff that Already Dead has to offer.
We're also worn out this week from all those TNK shows! Protomartyr and Alvvays were our favorites. We all owe a huge thanks to Schubas, Lincoln Hall and Metro for providing free tickets for you guys as well. What a bunch of sweetie pies!
This week's new release lineup is STACKED. We're extremely excited about Universal Togetherness Band, the new Cloakroom, the Posse repress, all the Back From The Grave comps on vinyl, and of course, Sleater-Kinney's triumphant return! It's gonna be a good week for our ears.

Eddie Pepitone and Our Own Nick Rouley at Lincoln Hall
On an exceedingly cold Thursday night last week, about two hundred people huddled together in a seated Lincoln Hall for an evening of unforgettable comedy by the legendary Eddie Pepitone. Nick Rouley, who hosts our own monthly comedy spectacular, Freak Happening, landed the prime opening spot for Eddie and got to do almost twenty minutes. What a treat for us, and I'm sure for Nick.
Eddie was just Eddie, which is to say, nobody else does comedy like this. He did some material from his most recent special, worked in some new stuff, and just riffed when there was an opening to do so. I'm not really sure how to describe his work if you haven't seen it, except to say that it sort of starts off at the existential void created by Western consumerism and then takes off from there. What a ride.
Here's a little slideshow of my pics from the night. You can click through the whole set here below,
or if you want larger shots, go directly to the Flickr set in another window, here.
Regular Fucked Up People/Boring People split 7" release show!
Come hang out, see both bands play, and take home a copy of the split!

saki newsletter 1/13/15!
Thanks to John Bailey, Dumpster Babies, Harebrain, and everyone who came out this past Friday for the opening reception of 'Nanodeath!' We had a great time and we hope you did too. The show is up for the month, so come check it out. John has a TON of reasonably priced prints and drawings so we can almost guarantee you'll find something you'll like - that is, assuming you like starry prints of Mr. T's face with the Slayer logo below it... I know I do!
This week we've got two really fun events for you. On Thursday night our friends in Dastardly are hosting a listening party for their new album. Come hang out, BYOB, listen to the album, and join us in coaxing Gabe into taking his shirt off and singing 'My Way.'
We also just added an in-store this Saturday with Regular Fucked Up People and Boring People. They're releasing a split 7" on Already Dead tapes. Come see the bands and pick up a copy of the 7"!
Panda Bear's new album is out this week and we've got some sweet posters and prints to give away with purchase!

Buy a release from any band playing an upcoming Empty Bottle, Schubas or Lincoln Hall show and we can add you to the guest list. A lot of upcoming shows are no longer eligible, but it never hurts to ask. Stop in or give us a call! Keep an eye out for announcements for eligible Metro and Bottom Lounge shows too!
Right now we've got a bunch of spots to give away for upcoming Tomorrow Never Knows shows too! Stop in to claim guest list spots for:
1/16 Cloud Nothings
1/17 Jukebox The Ghost
1/18 Twin Peaks
...all at Metro!
Spotify listening station:
If you find yourself flipping through the racks and you realize that you'd like to listen to something before you buy it, just ask at the counter and we'll pull out some headphones and Burnice (that's what we named our burner phone) so you can have a listen!
