Fellow LP-lovers, rejoice! Sweat is bringing in vinyl like it’s going out of style (except it isn’t). Here’s a huge list of just SOME of the titles we’ve gotten in lately, after the jump.

More great press! The amazing Sweet & Sara vegan marshmallow smores that we carry were recently featured on the Food Network’s hit series “Unwrapped”. For reasons we can only guess are uptight and corporate, they don’t mention they are vegan but rest assured that they are.
Sweat is currently the ONLY place in South Florida to get these so stop by soon and try some for yourself!

Remember (((SHAKE BASSel))) when Big Freedia had all the booties bouncing? Well, it’s that time again. With the Saints in the Super Bowl comes the New Orleans faithful and their own brand of bass, Bounce. N.O. native J DAIQUIRI is coming to (((SHAKE))) Thursday, Feb. 4th to get the place jumping with a set of Dirty South Rap and Bounce. He’ll also have some pieces for sale from his clothing line, Defend New Orleans:
After the jump we have video capturing the madness of J Daiquiri spinning on Bourbon St. last week. It may just get like that in The Vagabond tomorrow! Ladies in free before Midnight. $1 Colt 45 until 11. $5 Cuba Libre all night. RSVP to shake305@gmail.com for free admission before 11.
Hey Sweaters, whether you like to work with your hands or dig into a good book, there’s something for you tonight!
We don’t have a fancy graphic or anything yet but tonight will be the first night of Sweat’s open crafting sessions! Knitting instructor extraordinaire Renee will lead the way – basically if you can tie your shoe she can teach you how to purl with the best of ‘em, and she’ll have some supplies for sale if you happen to need a needle. Feel free to bring anything else you might want to work on too – sketchbooks, jewelry making, anything goes! I do cross-stitch and embroidery myself and brought a few how-to books along for that.
We’re trying it out every Tuesday night except for second Tuesdays (because that’s Casa De Ha-Ha of course!) from 7pm to 9 or 10.
Also tonight is the monthly meeting of the Black Umbrella Book Club at AE District! They’ve been reading “Lark And Termite” by Jayne Anne Phillips so come out for literary discussion, food from Pasha’s and Bustelo galore. Click the flier below to join the BUBC group on Facebook.
The other night Sweat Records was featured on PBS’ esteemed Nightly Business Report show in a piece about the resurgence of vinyl! We’re beyond happy to be representing for records and if you haven’t been by the shop lately, we’ve expanded our new LP section by about double over the last month.
Watch the video below and come by Sweat to peruse all the vinyl goodies for yourself!

Don’t be fooled by Ana Mendez‘ tiny stature, she is a huge force of energy. She’s been performing and choreographing cutting-edge dance pieces around Miami for years and has a new show coming up on Wednesday that’s an homage to the life and death of legendary music producer Joe Meek!
Meek pioneered tons of studio techniques still used today and had a tumultuous life to say the least (you can read more about all that here). He inspired everyone from Frank Black to Matmos, and Wednesday a TRIBUTE will be paid to him. His spirit will be evoked in a 30 minute performance of “absurd gesture and spatial exploration” by Ana and her all-male cast (including Psychic Youth, Inc. members artist Federico Nessi, Alex Puentes and Ricardo Guerrero from Animals Of The Arctic, Rick Diaz of hahahelp! and more), soundtracked by a custom reworking of Meek’s groundbreaking “I Hear A New World” by sound installation artist Richard Vergez, and featuring video-based scenic elements by Carlos Ascurra of Viking Funeral.
After the performance stay for live sets by Harry Merry (Netherlands), The Electric Bunnies, and Dino Felipe. To sum it up, this is going to be insanely cool and you’d be a fool to pass it up, so go! Full fliers and info after the jump.

This weekend two celestial groups will cross our paths… Tonight at The Vagabond, Miami’s ASTARI NITE will take the stage in the Main Room. They’re celebrating the release of their new EP “True Romance” – the New Times wrote a great preview piece for the show, read it here and come out!
Then Saturday night at Sweat, bust out the earplugs (or pick up a nice pair at the shop) for a four-band in-store! GREEN SKY headline the night with opening sets by Shroud Eater, Furious Dudes and Lil Daggers. No cover, starts at 8pm. See you this weekend!
