So there’s this scooter guy here named Ian who I’ve met a couple times, and people have told me his band, Happy Supply, is really good, and I finally heard them on WLUW a few weeks ago, and wouldn’t you know it, they’re awesome, then I find out they broke up. Damn. Check out the mighty “Sparky Song” from Crucial Cuts, only $7 from Dutch Courage Records
