    Thomas Nassiff, writing on his cool blog:


    Katie and I got married in March. We had an awesome wedding and reception in Gowanus, and I’ll always think it’s cool that while living in Brooklyn we were able to host 120 family and friends for our wedding at a place that was just a 20-minute walk away from our apartment.
    ​

    Congrats Thomas. But I thought this was SorryInterpunk.net.


    Another detail that I’ll always remember is that our wedding favors were very dope. We asked three of our most musically inclined friends to record covers of songs we like, then we pressed those three songs onto a 12″ record. We will always treasure those three songs and the generosity of everyone who recorded them or aided in their recording, along with the helpful guys at A To Z Media, who have pressed nearly 50 Bad Timing Records releases in addition to this specific 12″. […]

    We wanted to share Dan and Ace’s cover of “Thunder Road” a bit more widely, so that’s really what prompted me to write about all this. You can listen to the cover below via Bad Timing Records’ Bandcamp page. And if you head over to that Bandcamp page, you can grab a download of the cover for $1 (or pay-what-you-want if you’d like to throw in more). All payments from that cover on the BTR Bandcamp will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign, which is the largest LGBTQ civil rights organization in the country.
    ​

    Thomas also details how you can get one of the physical records as well, if you’d like one, on his blog.

    Thanks Jason! There has been a really good amount of interest so far in the 12"s, feel free to email me if you want one [thomas at badtimingrecords dot com].

    Most everybody who has been interested in a record has upped their donation amount to the Human Rights Campaign as well and we're currently at around $140 to be donated after just a few hours.

    It feels great to put the leftover wedding favors to good use.

    Thank you, what an amazing wedding favor. Great combination of artists and song choices. You can't go wrong with Dan, Ace, KevDev, Bruce or the Menzingers.

    i can't remember if you were open to sending the individual tracks without the record, but if so, I'd love to send you/HRC a couple bucks for the songs, but I don't have a record player/don't wanna pay shipping into canada.

    With my wedding coming up in a few weeks I thought a lot about favours, and this is such an amazing idea (helped when you have the connections Thomas does of course)!
