Oops I've had this done since a few days before the end of the year but I forgot to post it. My bad. A lot of shits been going on. Most bad. But a bit good. 2014 was a big LP year. So many great LPs came out that I left a few off that I'm sure some people have as their number ones. As usual I'm all over the place with the music I like so If you like one band you might not like the next. I added some honorable mentions for the LP category for that very reason. Too much good stuff.

And Throw Me To The Wind
For the second time, on another side of the country I had the pleasure of booking my favorite band, Self Defense Family (the first time they were still called End Of A Year). I won't go into the details of how this show got fucked and how I ended up doing it but it did well and I'm happy about it. Very happy about it. Below is tbe flyer and a live shot. Before that I want to take a moment to talk about Goodtime Boys. The only band who's song on a split with SDF/EOAY I liked more than the flipside. They might have been some of the nicest and most sincere people I've ever met. They killed it when they played too. I'm glad I got a chance to book them also and I really hope I get to see them again and maybe someday go over to England again and hang out with them there. Cool dudes, backed hard.
A cool picture of Self Defense Family playing from the show.
