Happy Christma-Kwanz-hanukah Junky,
…Or whateva ya celebrate. It'sat time o' da year anna big day's only gettin' closer so, I figure, what kinda deala would I be f'I didn' show ya some kindness wit'a great big bag o' SWAG – fresh-fallen offa da back o' a great big truck! So here it is ya reprobates, my firs' gift to ya fer 2011 annis motha's swollen – I gots some good from all ova da map here, but I got some picks 'atcha gotta check out foist, ann'ere they are.
Get down innere right now an' check out the tunes from 1, 2, 3 (ol' fi' dollar Billy sent me a single's worth o' songs by dis band annit's great! I don't usually care much about what my own editor sends me, but he struck gold'is week!), Grey Kingdom, Black Bananas, Deer Tick, Deerhunter, Yukon Blonde, Blonde Redhead, City and Colour, Heartless Bastards, Sunparlour Players an' Slow Club 'at I nabbed. 'Ere ain't no rhyme or reason ta none of 'em, all except fer da fact'at 'ere all kickass songs – even if some of 'em are covers. Not only dat, but I nabbed a fuckin' great EP from Old Man Leudecke 'at'll warm yer col' ol' junky puss too. At's da picks o' da litter, an' I even nabbedja some eye candy up'ere at da top o' da page too so, I swear junky, if you can't find somethin' in fifty songs ta make yer motor run, I dunno where yer gonna find it. So get onnit an' get inta somethin' awready!
Love & sloppy kisses,
yr. ever-lovin Don Loder.
