Awright you so-an'-sos,
I ain't gotta lotta time today, so I'll keep this short. "Why haven't you got much time today, Don?" yer askin', but we both know I didn't say it that way. Anyway, I got a bit of a concern brewin' 'cause I know ya wanna know, an' trust me – if it comes together, the ones that win in the end will be you, my loyal fans an' junkies. I can't talk about that right now though, so stop askin'! in the meantime, I found a motherload o' big-name talent to liberate for ya this week, check it out! Didja hear those cocktail-totin', suave motherfuckers in Urge Overkill was gettin' back together? I heard about'at yesterday an' I got a chubby from the news. "Sister Havana" was whatcha might call a life definin' song for me – ya know? Same with the rest o' Saturation and Exit The Dragon. Anyway, when I heard about'at, I went lookin' an' found a brand spankin' new song that they let drop so I picked it up an' am now presentin' it to you – howdaya like'at shit? Likewise, I foun'a track off the new Banner Pilot record that's nothin' to sneeze at either! I also foun'a new song by Lyrics Born, a couple o' classic songs from The Lemonheads an' The Blake Babies to celebrate Evan Dando (he's another suave motherfucker, 'at one) an' a new one by Rae Spoon (no, not'at kinda spoon junkie!), a song by my buddy Anne Sulikowski and her band Building Castles Out Of Matchsticks (she's takin' off! Just licensed a song to CSI Miami), a brand new mix tape from those sweet boys in Wood Hands an' tons – TONS! – o' bands coverin' classic tunes by David Bowie; I pulled out the best o' those fo'ya too – but not all of 'em. I scraped the rest o' the best gold off the top o' the barrel too an' poured it all inta this twenty-four-hour party SWAG Report – so scroll down an' check it out awready!
Love an' Sloppy Kisses,
yr ever-lovin' Don Loder.
