DJ bring me some east coast indie

Santa, Sawtooth, candle #4, Brooklyn bike messenger that delivers drugs, whoever it is that you get fun things from this time of year, mention to him/her that this was a big year for recording rock n' roll and you want to remember it on vinyl.

"Goes Canoeing"

Pure energetic pop massacre! There will be pieces of the State Puff Marshmallow man all over your turntable! I had to stop myself from signing along during tracking. I mixed this for weeks and loved it more and more after every listen. Ladies and Gentleman, my good friends... Monument !

My friends and roommates recorded a record with me. They are members and (ex) 1994!/ Boy Problems/ Snowing/ Make Me/ Gods and Queens. Not impressed? Written, recorded, screen printed, and sent straight to you, all under the same roof! Put that in your DIY handbook and smoke it.

Rosetta/ Restorations

Split 12"

Cavity Records

Buy this record

Restorations recently finished recording a new full length here in November. Straying a little musically, their new record influences combine Counting Crows, Hot Water Music, and weed. It will make the needle jump once Jon Low (Dr. Dog, Reading Rainbow) puts the finishing touch on the mixes. Until then, the above split 12" (Restorations side recorded and mixed here) should more then hold you over.

Snowing

"I Could Do Whatever I Wanted If I Wanted"

Count Your Lucky Stars/ Square of Opposition

Free download

Ok, it's not on wax yet, but it is the perfect soundtrack to your holiday when Uncle Pete spills the gravy all over himself in a drunken fit to turn up the big game. And you get up and say "I'm so over this, you'll never understand me". Go upstairs, light up one of your mom's Virginia Slims, and listen to this record. Whatever- available for download free because Snowing is cool.
