So you may remember that last week I said I was going on this Scion tour to all these weird cities with, Drop The Lime, Craze and Rob Wonder. Basically Scion's idea is to let us radio hosts take guests and do these parties in small venues in small cities that normally couldn't afford this kind of line-up.

The last time I went out with Hardy, Pase, Franki and Designer Drugs was crazy, but this time is even crazier simply because if not for this tour I would never be on the road with even one of these dudes, much less all three of them.

Tonight was our second to last show in SALT LAKE CITY

Tomorrow we're in MINNEAPOLIS at 7th st or 1st ave or whatever.

Anyway SLC is actually pretty fun, even though they have weird rules like they're not allowed to sell a double shot of whiskey?

The best look was this record store Rob took us to. I didn't think record stores still existed in the rest of America, but Randy's was killing it...

The only thing more bizarre than ending up on the road with this odd-lot was going record shopping with them. I should mention that Craze opted out of diggin and instead went on the hunt for another addition to his infamous fitted collection (do you think A-Trak put him onto these hat suitcases or vice-versa?)

When Luca, Rob and I got to Randy's shop we all darted in different directions. DTL went straight for the sound tracks

In addition to finding this and some Fellini OST he somehow got access to some secret breaks section I wasn't allowed entry to where he found a crispy copy of JAMES BROWN IS DEAD, which he only bought cause I threatened I would take it if he didn't.

Rob was in some Folk-World section, which sounds awful now, but somehow pulled out this crazy African record with a cover of one of ~dd~'s all time favorites PAINT IT BLACK.

I on the other hand did the obvious move, went straight for the 12"s and stocked up on some 80s shit.

Just in time for our ALL 80s ALL 12"s party this Friday with the original smooth operator himself MOMA helping us out.

The way I see it any city with a roller derby gets the OK from me. If my girl lived here she would definitely skate for the SISTERS OF NO MERCY.

MINNEAPOLIS ARE YOU OUT THERE???

BTW HARDY BLOG IS BACK UP AND KICKING

Here's the blend I did of Hardy Time with that Holy Ghost! x Curses track. It's been killing them on this tour.

Oh yeah only one week until...
