Fellow Morrissey lovers! My name is Jason Jimenez. My partner Lauren "Lolo" Reskin and I own and operate Miami's most underground record store, Sweat Records located at 5505 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL. We have records, cd's,dvd's, books, toys, local designer + band shirts. We are also an organic coffee house with vegan snacks (Lolo also runs http://www.MeatlessMiami.com), free wi-fi and host to book clubs, comedy nights, bands, movies and more. We also promote Miami's finest weekly indie party Fridays at The Vagabond plus a slew of concerts + events around town. Check us out online at http://www.sweatrecordsmiami.com to stay posted on our happenings! We absolutely love Morrissey and when CP1 spray-painted(using only 2 colors!) our "Wall of Idolatry" on the outside of Sweat, we had to include him! Others include Iggy Pop, Prince, Bjork, David Bowie, etc. etc. Hope you enjoy the likeness, and we'd love for you to stop by the store and see it in person! Maybe the man himself will come by before the tour... Iggy's already been here ;)

I also host Off the Radar every Wednesday from 8-12 at The Standard Hotel on Miami Beach. Ray Milian, Danny Ashe + Tom Wareham play cutting edge new music from the http://www.offtheradarmusic.com blog every week! This Wednesday, Feb. 18th we are having a Morrissey listening party for "Years of Refusal" and giving out free tickets to the Feb. 28th show at the Mizner Park Ampitheater. We'll also have limited edition posters to give away. DJ Just Dandy will open the night at 8pm with a Morrissey/Smiths tribute set, then we'll play the album at 9pm. The Standard is located at 40 Island Ave, Miami Beach, FL. Hope to see you there!
