I was at Revolver Records this weekend with Diana, perusing the vinyl as they were taking away stacks upon stacks of inventory to their new location on 2nd/Roosevelt. Found an original 1997 pressing of Godspeed You Black Emperor's f#a# album, which was only limited to 500 copies and includes a penny flattened by a train among its other awesome inserts. A treasure indeed.

Anyway. As I was leaving I spied another gem, this one tacked up on the corkboard near the door – an open invitation to a 4th of July party at Bike Saviours, a bicycle co-op in the fixed-gear heart of Tempe. Thought the little note was too cute to keep to myself. I mean, the cost is only 5 yollars and, while there are no smoke bombs or other fireworks allowed, you'll be able to see some awesomely-named bands spit fireballs and emit spark showers:

• Haiku Ambulance
• Pigeon Religion
• Ovariesy
• Soft Shoulder
• Hell-Kite
