Sweat, Black Friday + The 3/50 Project

Black Friday is upon us, the busiest shopping day of the year when people wake up before dawn, and literally risk their lives in the name of a discount on…stuff.

At Sweat, we offer you an alternative.  We open at noon, offer you a wide variety of already reasonably priced unique gifts and music, and promise that absolutely no one will be trampled to death.  We do know the lure of a good sale though so EVERYTHING will be 10% off.  No ifs, ands or buts, just an across-the-board discount on all of our awesome LPs, CDs, books, movies, toys and treats.

In this same spirit, we’d like to introduce you to a concept we think is pretty neat – THE 3/50 PROJECT:

The Electric Bunnies’ Sweet New LP

More new local music!  The Electric Bunnies have been hopping around Miami for a few years now, playing their psychedelic tunes to appreciative audiences.  They’ve released a few 7″s but their full length LP is finally here and it’s a beauty.  Through the Magical Door is a gorgeous gatefold LP designed by Lucha Workshop and along with the perforated inserts it becomes a whole board game!  Very awesome.

New Local Music: Black Bobby “Phat Kid Tendencies”

TONS of awesome new releases have been emerging from right in our backyard.  We’re going to be turning you on to as many of them as possible in the next few weeks.  This one you don’t even have to buy…

BLACK BOBBY is the alias of Miami-based MC Larry Harris, Jr.  Originally from DC, this Harvard grad was about to start running for seats but realized his calling was to run rhymes and move seats!  He’s all about preserving the original spirit of hip hop – his album has no grandstanding foolishness, no bling-worship, and no features – it’s just one man rapping right over some classic beats and reminding you what hip hop is all about.
