Ooohhh, are you guys lucky or what?
So this time, I took a couple of days and just fleeced everything that wasn't nailed down around the inter-webs. And I thought to myself, “Self,” I thought, “Here I am sittin' on a mudda-fuckin' mountain of free SWAG from the five points and it's an awful lot. Should I sit on some and parcel it out to my devoted readers every so often and make myself look like a golden boy, just cuz I can? Fuck no! I'm laying it all on you all at once because dis'ere is a milestone event. Dis'ere is dah fifth SWAG Report goin' and the bag is overflowin'; so I'm a-gonna lay it all out right here for you to throw in the air and gigle at yer new mass o' wealth. There's some good stuff in'ere too – we got some Meatloaf, we got some Decemberists, we got some Sleater-Kinney… We got some o' every damn thing you can think of AND links to the old columns for ya to revisit too; in case you missed something! Dis'ere bein' the day after Record Store Day, think of dis SWAG Report as the mother of all Boxing Day sales – but better because it's free. So whatddaya doin' standin' there listening to me for? Go! Check it out! Pilfer your weaselly black guts out; take one, take 'em all, it's all free to you.
Yer welcome, ya filthy animals,
Don Loder.
