The latest piece of vinyl bad assery from The Loyal Subjects just hit digital shelves today (noon PST), so get your buying fingers warmed up. Their Chaos Bunny collection — designed by the great Joe Ledbetter — continues to grow, this time with a swarthy character dubbed Pirate Bunny. The eye patch donning, sword swinging, [...]

To be honest, I was never a big fan of Masters Of the Universe. The characters were pretty stiff, and about as creative as you would imagine from a boardroom of executives inventing a new line of toys with matching TV show.

Balkan Vinyl’s limited edition Rave Wars 7″, repressed on translucent red vinyl, are only for pilgrims of the heavyweight nerd variety. Rave Wars alludes directly to one of almost everyone’s favorite films (except mine), blending the action figures from the original Star Wars movie with hardcore/breakbeat techno, often overlaying sound effects from the film.

Hell, there still hasn’t been anyone close to Wu Tang Clan in rap or rock or gospel or yodeling or damn well anything else since then. But in those halcyon years RZA helmed some all time classics, and Ghostface Killah’s [...]
