The CHIRP Record Crawl is this Sunday! We're the last stop on the crawl, but you can show up at any point during the day with your badge and we'll honor the discount.
Max Clarke's 'Pizza Astronaut' print from our pizza-themed art show was easily the most popular piece. We've invited Max back for his very own show, which is up now! If you missed the opening, with sets from Wet Wallet and Max's band, The Cut Worms, you should be very upset about it. It was an awesome time! Max's pieces will be up all month and he's in the process of relocating to New York. Let's help him move!
We have another 'saki presents' show coming up at The Burlington next month. Our old pals from Bloomington, Sleeping Bag are going to be in town. They'll touring with Five Pound Snap out of Detroit, and our local favs Ovef Ow will round out the bill. We'll probably have some kind of deal for free drinks, and maybe some saki giveaways and/or DJ sets, so keep checking the newsletter or the Facebook event for more info!

ALL AGES. BYOB.
We're pretty excited to offer a new feature in our weekly newsletters. From now on we're going to include a Spotify playlist of some of our favorite tracks from this week's releases (the ones that are available on Spotify at least). Let us know what you think! Do you think we left anything important out? Did we pick the wrong track from your favorite release? We want to know. You can contact us via Twitter, Facebook, or email us at info@sakistore.net. We have other playlists available on Spotify as well. Follow us, check out the playlists, and keep an eye on what we're playing in the store!
Here are a few things we were yammering about on Instagram, etc. this week:
We picked up a few items from Stupid Bag Records (and distro) that you won't find any many stores! The Radiator Hospital 7" is already sold out and we have VERY low quantity of these others. Come snag one quick!
New arrivals and restocks from Get Hip Records (and distro). Lots of weirdo psych/garage and soul unknowns to dig into!
It was a good week in general for new arrivals and restocks.
As the weather is getting colder, don't forget you can pick up a saki knit cap that will not only keep your tip extra toasty, it's also good for 5% off your purchase any time you wear it in the store! Same goes for any other saki-branded merchandise, FYI.

Staff Picks:
Adam's pick... Gang of Four - Solid Gold
Gang of Four's 1981 sophomore album is easily overlooked by casual fans of the band. Entertainment!, their debut, is immediately catchy enough for some fans to just groove to it and ignore the scathing, sardonic lyrics. Solid Gold, however, does away with the hooks and dives deep into the dubby, angular grooves. The lyrics still bite, but they waiver from ennui to bitter disappointment, and rather than shouting along to the beat, now they're just straight up shouting.
It's not surprising that the band changed lineups and direction pretty drastically after this album. The band members were clearly fed up with a lot of things, not the least of which being their musical direction and careers. You COULD argue that Solid Gold lacks something that Entertainment! has in spades, but then you'd be neglecting a really good album just because it's not as good as the one that came before it, which is one of the greatest albums of all time. Don't do that. That's silly. Solid Gold is awesome!
