Nick Chatfield-Taylor asked something like 70 artists to make original artwork using white-label vinyls of the Ninjasonik 12″ single “Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant”. The art exhibition is called “Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant.”

So we’re gonna show you a sneak peak of one record every day all the way up to the exhibition opening on Thursday, June 3rd 2010.
This one above is by our friend Matt Furie.

And, while this isn’t a record, thought I’d share it anyway… saw it at Nick’s place when I stopped by to photograph the exhibition records.
It’s hanging in his bathroom.

Support local bands & buy their shit.

Happy Record Store Day!

Records have always been important to me. Vinyl just sounds better. Special even. There’s nothing quite like listing to Neil Young’s Decade or Pink Floyd’s Dark Side on vinyl with good speakers. Those two albums are like the litmus test that proves how vital the local record shop is. Go out, buy some vinyl, and feel good about something.

But you don’t have to take my word for it…

“I have watched independent record stores evaporate all over America and Europe. That’s why I go into as many as I can and buy records whenever possible. If we lose the independent record store, we lose big. Every time you buy your records at one of these places, it’s a blow to the empire.” – Henry Rollins

“Music is an important part of our culture and record stores play a vital part in keeping the power of music alive” – Chuck Berry

“Record stores keep the human social contact alive it brings people together. Without the independent record stores the community breaks down with everyone sitting in front of their computers” – Ziggy Marley

The best quote is from Shelby Lynne, she speaks the TRUTH:

“You can’t roll a joint on an iPod – buy vinyl!”

Kids! Please go out and support your local record shop.

Today, tomorrow and the next day! Since we gave you all those free mix tapes as part of KNIFEFIGHT: MIX TAPE WEEK, we figure you could use the money you saved and buy a record.
