GRIZZLY BEAR are playing the Fillmore next Tuesday, June 18th with openers Majical Cloudz and you could win a pair of tickets right here! Simply comment below with a valid email address to enter (no duplicate entries please but feel free to get your family and friends in on it too!)
We’ll select a winner at random Monday at 10am, and tickets for the show are still available here. Good luck!
We’re gonna take a short break from posting about new music (don’t worry, there’s still a list at the bottom), and take some time to focus on the used stuff. If you frequent the shop, you’ve probably noticed the used section in a constant state of flux over the past couple months. Well, that’s because we’ve brought in another record geek to help cultivate and catalog the used section. Yeah, that dude hanging around with the vinyl gloves and surgical mask isn’t a germaphobe, he’s our used record clerk, Edward Adames. Some of you might already know him as local musician/producer/engineer ADAMES (Dubporn/Loveless, Other Electricities, Roofless Records), and now you can get to know him as the guy in charge of Sweat’s expanding used record section. Stop in soon and check out the amazing work he’s been doing!

Apologies for the slight delay but without further ado here is volume two of Ultimate Roll Out!
Ultimate Roll Out Vol. II by Lolo + DJ Hottpants
These playlists are an homage to ROLL OUT, the weekly party DJ Hottpants and I threw at the amazing Gold Coast Roller Rink back in 2006-2008. Volume I can be found here: Ultimate Roll Out Vol. I by Lolo + DJ Hottpants
This mix is full of guilty pleasures, indie hits, freestyle, hip hop, classic disco, and much more. It ends with Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”, a song that wasn’t around back then, but would’ve been a surefire skate jam if it were…
Enjoy, follow our Spotify playlists, and stay tuned for more mixes!

Hear ye, hear ye! Come out to Sweat Records this Tuesday for June’s Casa de Ha-ha! Protector of the Realm Daniel Reskin will be presenting a host of local jesters for your entertainment. Quoth Daniel: “It will be like the red wedding but laughter instead of murder!” No cover, seating starts at 8:30pm.
So the story goes that Dan Snaith was minding his own business, making fantastically percussive electronic-pop albums under the name Manitoba, when in 2004 he was threatened with a lawsuit by “Handsome Dick” Manitoba (of American punk band The Dictators). Obviously this made complete sense, right? Sure, people readily confuse 70′s proto punk with poppy electronic soundscapes. Maybe good ol’ Handsome Dick just didn’t want fans thinking he’d gone soft (zing!). And hey, it’s not like Manitoba’s the name of a province in Canada. Oh, wait a second…
Snaith’s comment on the matter – “It’s like The Smiths suing John Smith or something”. Regardless, he didn’t want to deal with bullshit and changed the name of the project to Caribou, then going on to record more fantastic records, including 2005′s The Milk of Human Kindness (“Lord Leopard” was my ringtone for years), and 2008′s Andorra & 2010′s Swim, which won the Polaris and Juno awards, respectively. Take that, Handsome Dick! I’ll stop the rant here and let you know that we’ve got the deluxe reissues (LP+CD) of M̶a̶n̶i̶t̶o̶b̶a̶Caribou’s Start Breaking My Heart, Up In Flames and The Milk Of Human Kindness in stock now. Yay!
