Awwwwww yeeeeeeeah, it's been a good week! We had a crazy good in-store with Spirit of the Beehive and Carbonleak on Thursday. Everyone who came out knows that they killed it and those of you who didn't, well, you blew it.
The Predictions and Brendan Faloona (from Brendan and the Black Jackets) are playing on Sunday afternoon. It will be, like many of our Sunday in-stores, a decidedly relaxed event. Come chillllll with us - the AC's been workin' great!
Here are some things we were talking about on Instagram, etc. this week!

Staff Picks:
Adam's Pick of the Week... Brigth Engelberts - Tolambo Funk
One of the lesser known of an already under appreciated crop of African soul and funk from the 70's. Like many of his contemporaries, Engelberts and his band were cribbing from American and British soul, but always adding a flair of the traditional music they group up on. What comes out is not dissimilar to Africa by Amanaz, Lijadu Sisters, Witch's discography, or even Fela Kuti.
Due to the music's familiar, but different vibes, it's always a good one to throw into your DJ sets (real and imagined). Everyone feels like they've heard it before, even if they haven't. Either way, they'll be into it after you play it for them - unless they, you know, don't have ears.
Anaa's Pick of the Week...
What is this? A rectangular record? Don't be silly. It's a book! It's a collection of short stories that draw you in through the characters and their efforts to make the best of their situation. It's funny and dark yet endearing, with a huge range of characters and situations. A perfect beach read, in my opinion.
Jonathan was one of the original founders of Featherproof (the publisher of this volume) and they've continued to publish quality fiction and non fiction alike. We carry many of their titles (most recently, Jessica Hopper's collection of reviews).
