Question...How would one get their very own Nintendo Wii for only $10??? Well they would come out to Rebuilt Record's Bowl-A-Rama on March 31st and bowl for it of course. Here's how it all works:

1) You click here and sign up for a time of you choice.
2) You show up at Showtime Bowling in Athens at 1pm on March 31st ready to bowl.
3) You lace up your bowling shoes
4) You post the highest score of the day
5) You walk home, Wii in hand.

It's that easy folks! And all it cost is $10. To top it off, Rebuilt will be giving away various other prizes throughout the day! Past prizes have included iPods, Rebuilt gear, gift cards, and more!

So come on out, support Rebuilt, and win a Wii!!!

Strike a Pose...Vogue!

We wanted to give everyone the heads up and let you know that we've been hard at work designing new t-shirts that will be available shortly. There will be a whopping five new designs coming out. And don't worry; it wasn't just Jason and me picking everything out. We enlisted the services of fashion guru extraordinaire, Lane Evans, to correct all of our fashion faux pas. Because we love you so much, here is a taste of what we've been working on (look up). Let us know if you like the direction we're taking the Rebuilt line (also, we may or may not be working on a line of velour sweat suits.)

Peace, Love, and Fashion

Tie Tuesday: A Brief Recount

I'm going to spend a few minutes today and give everyone an inside look at the single most important contributing factor to productivity and success here at Rebuilt Records: Tie Tuesday. Tie Tuesday was started over a year ago when Jason and Erik Kriebel (everyone's favorite ex-intern) realized they needed something more to really kick productivity to that next level. After countless hours, ideas, and deliberation, Erik and Jason agreed on 'Tie Tuesday'. Tie Tuesday has been going strong ever since.

However, Tie Tuesday has gone through a few...I guess we'll say...relocations. You see, as one semester ended and another begun, Erik's class schedule changed a bit. He could no longer go to the office on Tuesdays. Confronted with a such a large quandary, Jason and Erik did what other greats had done before them when confronted with such a problem : Identified, Evaluated, Considered (alternatives), and Overcame. It was decided to no longer honor Tie Tuesday on Tuesday but on Wednesday. Despite moving the day, the tradition retained the name Tie Tuesday. Some may consider this confusing, but we here at Rebuilt Records are sticklers for alliteration (i.e. our company's name). Renaming Tie Tuesday to Tie Wednesday was never even considered. Tie Wednesday just doesn't flow right.

When I was hired to attempt to fill the massive void left when Erik had to step down as Rebuilt Intern (this is in no way an allusion to Erik's stature, just the productive and emotional emptiness that arose with Erik's departure) , the practice of Tie Tuesday on Wednesday was continued. I had heard about the legend of Tie Tuesday before my era with Rebuilt began, but to be honest, I was a bit skeptical. How could such a simple male neck accessory have such a massive effect on the subjects wearing it? Many of you may share these doubts. Just know that this is healthy and natural. Somethings are just difficult to wrap the human mind around. But let me assure you, Tie Tuesday is FOR REAL. When we tie those polyester (can't afford the nice ones) adornments around our necks, Jason and I become an unstoppable force.

Like Frodo Baggins returning to the Shire after his long journey to Mount Doom (that one was for Mr. Jon Black), Tie Tuesdays has once again returned to its home on Tuesdays. I now sit here, adorned with this polyester gift from God, writing this fo you. I hope this has provided you with some explanation and insight into the phenomenon of Tie Tuesday. I invite you now, whoever you are, wherever you may be, to partake in this praxis. Try it out just one day. Experience the sensation of Tie Tuesday!

Hitchcock's Birds and Jason's Car...

This is a photo of what some birds did to my car in a period of about four hours. I'm not sure what I did to anger the avian population of Athens, but dang, it must have been bad. I did smack a sparrow one time inadvertently with my grill, but I was driving my wife's 4Runner, so how would they know? At any rate, I've been mulling it over in my mind, and birds may just be the ultimate artists - they combine the modernist qualities of Jackson Pollock's drip paintings with the postmodernist use of fecal material as an artmaking tool. The medium is the message, indeed. In fact, I considered driving my car over to the art school and just parking it on the lawn as an installation. I should also note that it took two trips through the car wash with a serious scrubbing session by the car wash attendant (who clearly felt his reputation for spitting out squeaky-clean automobiles was on the line). Thanks, Minute Car wash! - Jason
