From today's paper of record:
Daptone Records, the Brooklyn soul label that releases albums by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and the Budos Band among others, was burglarized over the Presidents’ Day weekend, the label’s co-founder, Gabriel Roth, said in an e-mail message reported on brooklynvegan.com. Mr. Roth wrote that numerous items had been stolen or damaged, including computers, turntables, amplifiers, guitars and other instruments. In an interview, the other founder, Neal Sugarman, said workers were still cleaning up the label’s office, in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, and assessing what was taken, adding, “It’s hard to tell whether they knew what they wanted to get or not.” He said that police were investigating and that the label would remain closed for several days, though it hoped to reopen by Friday for a planned recording session for Rod Stewart.
From Gabriel Roth's letter:
We have a session scheduled for Friday to lay down some music for (I know this sounds surreal) Rod Stewart, and I'm going to have to get the studio running by then. I know I'm going to need to find headphones, cables, mics, and pre-amps by then. I'm not sure what else yet.
Rolling Stone reports that the Rod sessions are in doubt. No!!!!!!!
Rod is in Brooklyn this Friday? What's he doing on Saturday? Shit, we've got to get in touch with Daptone to let Rod know to come see us play!

Maybe we can trade them headphones for a Rod Floyd appearance. This is huge! He can sub in for me as well. And mock me like he does his children.
