Tonight marks pretty much the only monthly event that I would trek through the snow on foot to get to.  Okay, maybe not on foot, but at least on horseback wearing thermals (me, not the horse).  And though my hypocrisy might already be shining through (I unfortunately won’t be able to make it because I’ll be up to my elbows in Filipino student organizers), that shouldn’t prevent you from getting to what has certainly become my favorite party since moving to the big apple.  I Love Vinyl features a star-studded lineup of our DJ homies, including DJ Amir, OP!, and Ge-Ology, and this month they take it higher with Soundway Records, Wax Poetics and a chance to win the Ghana Special 5LP Box Set.  And just so you understand the extent of genuineness these true crate diggers possess, privy* yourself to DJ Amir’s short brushes with death (rat death, that is) in this interview:

Whoawoawoawoa this is AMAZING!  Between me always playing Little Dragon in the house, Nico always playing Little Dragon in the car, and Ada Clock always blowing smoke his nostrils like a little dragon, there’s a lot of Little Dragoning going on among the iLLs these days.  If you haven’t checked them out quite yet, here’s a crash-course to the amazingbeautifulomgiminlovewithyou lead singer, Yukimi Nagano.  For the already-fans, this mix also throws in some pretty hardbody exclusive cuts that you may not have heard yet, including one with iLL-homie and fellow Brooklynite Ge-Ology.  Fiyah fiyah!
