Amoeba.com talks to Phil Knight (aka The Silverman) & Edward Ka-Spel of the Legendary Pink Dots about what’s in their record bag and ponder one of the great questions of life: “Should I get this burrito or should I go record shopping?”

We just got in some new shirts that we think you guys would really dig. Essential for the rock ‘n’ roller! They’re on sale now… check them out here.

Unfortunately it’s still winter (if you’re in New York, you know what we mean!). We want you guys to be warm, so we also put our cold weather gear ON SALE!

Bundle up with our hoodies (40% OFF!) & beanies.

Winter is upon us… and will be for the next 3 months, UGH. I don’t know about you, but I’m already sick of it. The only thing you can really do is do your best to keep warm. We at ROIR have resolved to help you out with this, with our winter gear sale!

Not only do we have new Bad Brains beanies, we also brought in three new Bad Brains tees. The first is based on the Pay to Cum 7″ sleeve, and also the Bad Brains’ signature Rasta Lion in Yellow & Black. ROIR also now carries women’s tees! The classic Capitol Building shirt is available in the womens’ medium in both black & yellow, as is our new Pay to Cum design.

I know we’re kvetching about the cold, but our friends in the Great White North have it worse! It’s at least 10 degrees colder there, oooh wee! To make the winter cold a little easier for our Canadian friends, we’re offering FREE SHIPPING to CANADA until January 24.

We had a “Legendary” weekend with the ‘Pink Dots here in NYC (har har har). For those of you unlucky enough to miss the WFMU.org live stream on Tuesday, Brian Turner & his gang are offering the entire set as a free download at the Free Music Archive. Download it here!
