    Help Goobs Save The Boobs!

    posted by Jsin

    Next Thursday is the second annual GOOBS FOR BOOBS Breast Cancer Research Benefit. Come see ALUKARD + YOUR MOM’S FAVORITE perform live. Resident DJ’s A-TRAIN, DZA and ALEX CASO. Goodies and sorpresas from ANTISTEEZ.COM. There will also be a DUNK TANK out on the Patio!! Proceeds from the night will benefit Susan Komen for the Cure. And now some words from our hostess with the mostess…

    Hey everyone! It’s Goobs and I would like to personally invite you out to The Vagabond’s (((SHAKE))) on Thursday, July 29th for my benefit for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. A lot of people wonder a) Who is Goobs? And b) Why are there big boobs on this flyer?

    Well… I’m Goobs and two years ago my doctor found a lump in my breast. You can’t imagine how scared I was or how many questions I asked. After I sweat it out for about a week, taking tests, my doctor told me that I was A-OK and not to,”worry about it.” Well, the only thing that I could think about was women who DO have to worry about it. What happens to these women who have cancer and have to go undergo treatment and masectomies? What happens to them when they lose themselves to this disease, and sometimes, their lives? Breast cancer is the great equalizer, and can strike down any one of us; our mothers, our sisters, and our friends.

    Well, I said, F@%K BREAST CANCER! Not on my watch! Not while I could do something. I decided that if my boobs were okay, then I would put them on the flyer to bring attention to this disease and raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation. That’s why I am asking you to come out and party on July 29th. Come drink, come dance, come dunk people in our Dunk Tank in the garden…and come help us make it so that no woman ever has to hear that she is not okay. Come help us make Breast Cancer a thing of the past. You, me, them, us… together we can kick Breast Cancer’s ass. Come (((SHAKE))) for the titties! Thanks!

    Hope to see you there,
    Goobs

    This Just In

    posted by Matt P (Roofless Rex)

    This week is all heavy hitters: long-awaited returns, deluxe packaging and variant covers!

    The solo debut (not counting OutKast‘s now-canonical Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double LP) from Big Boi is finally here and on heavy rotation in the store. Sir Lucious (Loo-Shus) Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is loaded with lots of OutKast flavor/sensibility, a handful of 2010 swagger (yes, there is some autotune) and, most importantly, banger after banger after banger. The picture above is the cover of the CD. Swing by to check out the LP version’s old-school style variant cover.

    M.I.A.‘s /\/\ /\ Y /\ is one of the most anticipated records of the summer (maybe of the year?) and we’ve got so many versions! There’s your standard LP of course, then there’s the CD, then there’s the Deluxe CD (crazy hologram + songs not on the standard version of the album), then there’s the remix CD, XXXO: The Remixes. Something for everybody!

    What do David Lynch, Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse and Vic Chestnutt all have in common? The answer is the sprawling ephemera pictured above: Dark Night of The Soul, the epic, multimedia collaboration that even had it’s own show at Art Basel. Finally released after a year of legal hiccups, this super deluxe box set edition comes with: a double LP version of the album, a CD version, an instrumental CD, a poster, lobby cards and a 48-page 12×12 booklet. For those on a tight budget, we’ve got a standard CD version of the album as well.

    Did you know that experimental pop duo Sleigh Bells is ex-Poison the Well? And did you know that Sweat has copies of their white hot new LP, Treats, on picture disc?

    This gem gets a little less buzz on the blogosphere than the other records in this week’s roundup, but it’s oozing with so much soul that we had to let you know it’s back in stock. La Vie En Rose is an excellent collection of Edith Piaf‘s cabaret-influenced French pop, suitable for long time fans and casual listeners alike.
