When Neal Casal took his life last August, a lot of people who knew his work but not his name learned how important the man and his musical intuitions were to artists like Willie Nelson, Shooter Jennings, Lucinda Williams, Phil Lesh, Ryan Adams, Chris Robinson, The Jayhawks and so many others. For the third RSD Drop on October 24, Royal Potato Family Records has a lovely version of Neal's first solo record, so more people can get to know him better.  The release is part of the #mindfulvinyl initiative and a part of the proceeds will be donated to The Jed Foundation, a non-profit organization that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults in the United States.

Missed the Sylvan Esso Used Bin DJ Spin on Facebook? Here it is! Dance about with Nick and Amelia as they spin tunes found in the Used Bin at their local record store, Bull City Records. (Their own new album,  FREE LOVE, is in new release racks at record stores across the country!)

Come back Monday and enter to win the stack of records they’re playing in this USED BIN DJ SPIN!

THE AVETT BROTHERS The Gleam III is in record stores now on CD and VINYL, and a VERY limited edition indie-exclusive vinyl edition complete with a poster.  Of course, we'd love to be promoting a bunch of intimate in-store events at record stores around the country, but, well....   We're happy to announce though that Seth and Scott headed over to the barn and recorded an intimate "IN-BARN" just for us. Join us, won't you?
