Greys in-store + Freak Happening presents Hack The Planet this Friday at saki!
What are YOU doing Friday afternoon/evening??? We're hanging out with our new friends, Greys (Carpark Records) at 4pm for an in-store, followed by our monthly comedy show (last Friday of every month) Freak Happening at 7:30!
Greys are a brash, noisy rock band from the Great White North. The lead track on their awesome new record If Anything is titled "Guy Picciotto." Need we say more? Ok, we'll say more. Greys are really frickin' good and you should come see them for FREE!
If you don't know our monthly comedy show, Freak Happening, it's got everything! Butt jokes, boob jokes, dick jokes, all the kinds of jokes! This months show is called Hack The Planet, which means the beginning of the show will have some jokes about computer hackers, followed by another hour to hour and a half of jokes that have nothing to do with that theme. That's how this works!
We'll see you Friday.

This week we're offering Drcarlsonalbion, Lore City, and Antlers for 20% off!
Drcarlsonalbion - Gold LP
1st major soundtrack work from Dylan Carlson (EARTH), composed for a foreign language western of the same name. Across the album's 24 tracks (designed to be listened to as one suite), Carlson's lyrical playing dissolves structures into abstraction, stretching out each repetition til you're left with only the sound of buzzing or scraped strings. For the 1st time Carlson's guitar is presented, bare, alone, with only minimal percussion.
Lore City - Kill Your Dreams LP
Brooding Chicago alt rock with dark tendencies. "Though just a duo, their music sounds like the product of a small marching band. Guitar, piano, lap steel, ebow, percussion, clarinet & more accompany Laura Mariposa's lush, blue croon."-CMJ
Antlers - Familiars LP
The follow up to Burst Apart, continues in the direction of higher production and song craft for this Brooklyn unit.

saki newsletter 6/10/14!
We're so glad it's nice out again, for the obvious reasons, but also because the warmer weather means it's in-store season! We had TWO awesome in-stores this past weekend with Lemuria on Friday, and then The Bingers and Gringo Star on Saturday! You can check out some footage in this week's vlogcastisode below!
We don't have anything else on the calendar until The Martha's Vineyard Ferries later in the month, but keep your eyes and ears open because we might have some surprises in store for you (pun intended).
In this week's vlogcastisode we talk about the 20% off weekly new release sale, Riot Fest, and a play about gutter punks. It's only 2 minutes long. Watch it!

Jack White - Lazaretto
Lazaretto inhabits an exciting place in White's expansive discography as the follow-up to 2012's gold-certified international #1 Blunderbuss.
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation reissue
Do we really need to tell you anything about this record?? If you don't own it already, you need to. From the cover art to the last track, a stone-cold classic.
Don Caballero - Five Pairs of Crazy Pants. Wear 'Em: Early Caballero
December 1991. Mere months into their existence, a 3-piece Don Caballero drove to the Carnegie Mellon campus and knocked out 11 songs. On this, their earliest-known studio recording, the nascent Pittsburgh titans crank out jams that would appear in different form on early singles and their Touch and Go debut full-length, "For Respect". 2 songs would never make it onto a proper record and are here for the 1st time ever. As a special bonus, the band's 2nd live show is included as an additional download along with the record.

Califone in Chicago
After missing their last few Chicago shows, I finally got to see a stripped down Califone on Sunday with Tim and Ben in somebody's cool attic space. Tim broke a lot of guitar strings and Ben did an admirable job keeping up with Tim's unexpected left turns.
Here's the link to the entire set.

This week we're offering The Orwells, Parquet Courts and Fucked Up for 20% off!
The Orwells - Disgraceland LP
The story of the Orwells escaping the confines of their hometown and their own expectations for themselves. They've teamed with producers Chris Coady (SMITH WESTERNS, BEACH HOUSE), Jim Abbiss (ARCTIC MONKEYS) and Dave Sitek (TV ON THE RADIO, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, SANTIGOLD).
Parquet Courts - Sunbathing Animal (indie exlcusive) LP
Everybody's new favorite band! Follow up to the acclaimed 'Light Up Gold' and 'Tally All The Things That You Lost' EP. Indie exclusive version limited to 300 copies with bonus 7". The indie version is already sold out via the label so these will go fast! We will be selling the regular LP version once they're gone.
Fucked Up - Glass Boys (w/ slow version) LP
Indie exclusive version with alternate front and back covers and a second LP of the album with the drums recorded at half the speed of the original. This album returns to rock 'n' roll basics. Recorded for the first time in analogue, the overall effect is a more human, relatable Fucked Up. We will be selling the regular, single LP version once the indie exclusives are gone!
First, we have an in-store with Lemuria on Friday, and Gringo Star with American Breakfast and The Bingers on Saturday. We. Are. Psyched.
We also have a pretty loaded weekly new release sale with The Orwells, Fucked Up and Parquet Courts for 20% off! We have copies of the limited, indie-exclusive version of both Parquet Courts and Fucked Up while they last. Come get those QUICK.
Well, I guess that's it... it didn't take that long to type, but it is, in fact, a lot going on and we're very excited about it!
In this week's vlogcastisode we talk about local bands, listen to Lemuria and Gringo Star, and just generally resent the fact that we're on camera - the usual.
