Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.
No more "sweaty" jokes people, Sweat Records finally got that much needed AC. The independent record store in Little Haiti announced today that it would be resuming its normal hours of operation: noon to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday, starting Monday.
The record store hasn't had a history of having the best luck. It has gone through hurricane destruction, temporary relocations, break-ins, and a faulty AC system. The latter caused the store to almost completely shut down due to the rising summer temperatures.
Sweat Records really has Iggy Pop to thank for helping things get back to normal. The Detroit punk icon lent his visage to a T-shirt and made an appearance at a fund-raising party for the record store at Awarehouse in August.
Keep Miami New Times Free... Since we started Miami New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Miami, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Miami with no paywalls.
