Record Store Day-ve

International Record Store Day coincides with Bastard Nuptial Day, and let's all get excited.

For Record Store Day 2014 (April 19), Jack White has revealed plans to issue the “world’s fastest released record” ever, moving from studio to store in record time. According to White’s Third Man Records website, the guitarist will perform a live version of “Lazaretto,” the title track of his upcoming solo album on the morning of April 19 at a special fan show inside the Third Man store in Nashville. From there, the original acetate will be rushed to nearby United Record Pressing, where vinyl 45s will be made, utilizing images taken from the recording session for cover art. The finished singles will then be whisked back to the Third Man Records store for waiting fans to snap up in what’s sure to be an instant sell-out.

Dave: Mr. White is feeling slighted that Elvis Costello got the wedding invite and he did not. He's trying to get noticed. Can you show him a little love?

...And Happy Thanksgivukkah!

As the token Gentile* in this group, let me be the first to wish you all Happy Thankgivukkah! We may not be around for the next one (in 79,000 years), except for Joe - who is timeless. Or unless Jay re-formats the Hebrew lunisolar calendar.



*I know, I know. But a little research on ancestry.com and the Ellis Island immigration database helped turn up the following surnames:

Beckerstein
Rowlandberg
Eisencurtis
McGlück
Rosen-Rosenheinz

It was pretty compelling.

¡Happi Nu Yr!

Keep on rockin in the free world, you bastards.

Hot Elevens to You All!

I celebrated with a midnight double-handed rock salute in the general Stonehenge direction. Clearly something radical in the hazy cosmic jive this morning as my alternator overloaded on the morning commute!

Brother, Can you spare a Tap?

Inexplicably, I can't locate my copy of Smell the Glove. Any Bastards want to Fatten the Posterior of my iPod? Nigel Tufnel Day is nigh...

National High Five Day

Vintage video of the High-Five'n White Guys from the Pacific Northwest's sketch comedy show Almost Live. I don't have to remind anyone that National High Five Day is a Bastard High Holiday.
How did we all celebrate?

Jay might be interested.....

Cool interview with Mad's Al Jaffee.

I'm not sure why

But I really find Christina Hendricks incredibly attractive...

AVAST!

I embrace the deep roots of bastardy with a hearty celebration of Talk Like A Pirate Day. Please enjoy an excellent talk like a pirate tutorial, the article that helped vault this holiday into world consciousness, and Los Bastardos Unidos translated into Pirate.

Who Dat Nation Erupts

Jay, you can disregard this post because it's about sports. For the rest of you men, here's what shedding off forty years of disappointment looks like. Joe, you've picked just about the best time ever to visit New Orleans.
