FYI, for those who missed out! You still have two options: 1) There’s a handful of red vinyl still out there in the ethos either in record store distribution or through my two labels @midwestAXN and Worry Records. Reach out to them to see if you can still get a copy

Listen to "Pull Some Strings" by Flugel today! If you dig it like we do, swing through @chopshopchi tonight to hear it live 💃

We were able to pull some strings and listen to Flugel's newest single, "Pull Some Strings." It's a great bop, and you can see it live *first* tomorrow night at Chop Shop.
