Bring on the big weekend with a kickoff celebration for the ages!

“Those groovy weirdos from Cincinnati CHONCY are back with a 12” vinyl follow-up to last year’s hit tape. Decked out in glitchy scratch-off ticket chic, this rollicking record further demonstrates the band’s “kitchen sink” style, in which elements of punk, post-punk, and hardcore are pieced together to create an ambitious sonic collage. Smart, uninhibited, and overflowing with ideas and energy, this set of songs defies succinct description, offering a poignant surge of originality in each track. Foaming at the mouth one moment and snapping into a friendly guitar jangle the next, there’s never a dull moment. Having an average weekend? Put this on the turntable and monotony doesn’t stand a chance.” –maximumrocknroll

Beer? Beer

H8 Mile - “…as with many albums by the great hardcore bands of yore, is short – 9 tracks clocking in at 15 minutes – and fits on a single 7” record. Emerging from the Detroit DIY scene, Spread the Love propagates a grit & grime, us-against-the-world mentality. This record is a handmade delight, packaged in a black & white sleeve and featuring a handwritten center label. The cassette version is dubbed on a clear glitter cassette.” –360degreesound

Gerber & the Babies - “Fremont Canning Company, owned and operated by Dan Gerber, was looking for a baby face for its new baby food campaign, which was to start in the later part of 1928. To find a baby face that it believed would best represent the new baby food, the Fremont Canning Company conducted a contest in the summer of 1928. Many drawings and paintings were submitted. Some were elaborate baby portraits in oil paint, while others were simple sketches. Dorothy Hope Smith of Westport, Connecticut, an artist specialising in children's drawings, submitted an unfinished charcoal drawing, that was closer to a simple sketch than a professional drawing. Smith told the judges that, if the sketch were selected as the winner, she would finish it professionally. The drawing won but, to her surprise, the judges wanted no changes to it.” –wikipedia
