Daaaaamn dude, that suuuucks. I do have to say....I do feel a smidge sorry for the guy. He had some success, expanded his operation too quickly, spread himself too thin with ideas, and ended up selling off something that was pretty damned successful...hell we're still here on the board so it's name was still worth enough for SRC to purchase it. Dude lost a lot of money, stole a lot of money, probably pissed off some bands/distro/labels (Id be willing to bet SecondNature is still salty about it) and he lost his wife over all this shit. All the craft beer and independent music in the world wouldn't cheer me up if I fucked up that hard. So the fact that he's still managed to stay in the music-world and just keep it local is surprising as hell....I would've RJ'd and just dropped off the face of the earth. for the record, I wasn't a part of th co-op, but I did (against my better judgement) pre-order the Under The Influence Vol. 2 series....and at the time I was genuinely excited about that gaslight/American steel split (which I was told by both bands they had recorded their songs if I'm not mistaken?). Hope like hell he learned some valuable lessons throughout that shitstorm and in the aftermath of it all

still waiting for the Under The Influence Vol. 2 series. SO PUMPED for that GaslightAnthem/AmericanSteel split!!!

Sippin on the Stone Xocoveza currently, lovin it

Went to a house party last night and the host had a kegerator full of a home-brewed clone of Pliney The Elder....it was excellent

PunkNews.Org was how I fell into this place....haven't checked the org in years now

Damn....not as old school as I thought #1094 late to the party

cant wait to see your responses to your first reviews/critiques i assume you felt you'd be welcomed with open hearts and eager ears? feel free to critique my pictures of food when I'm asking you to pay for them or i'm using them to try and sell you something

Didn't start a thread 80 posts in claiming to be a chef either though thanks, politely fuggov

TLDR

I definitely haven't been visiting this board for the past 8-9 years for novels....I don't remember signing up for Novel Collective

Same here.

A bunch of my friends went up to Kentucky last weekend to try and get a bottle of Pappy, of the five that went, one got a bottle of 10 year (I think it was the 10 year)....definitely going with them next year to try and grab a bottle

Man, these sound way better than my 1st press of Boys and Girls in America Wish they came in regular inner sleeves with separate printed liner notes, always end up with split seems on those and a ton of static cling

enough with 2016.....fucking enough already

Man....the On A Wire tour was fucking great. Hot Rod Circuit, Superchunk, and then The Get Up Kids headlining.

Sweet! Guilt Show is all I lack of their full lengths. Have been hunting a red one for years but have never wanted to fork over the cash. 180g black is my go to whenever possible. Wish they'd drop all of the vagrant 20th anniversary vinyl at once to save on shipping.

totally fine with only purchasing Self Titled and Big Choice having already grabbed that last reissue of Don't Turn Away. stoked on this finally happening

Got this in today, no idea when I'll have my turntable set up to spin shit again though

Weller Antique is super tasty

So weird, oh well, got that blue DANB and black180 YM. Stoked

Best News

That is wonderful news, I'll let all the "have to have the most limited" kids grab the ugly variant and I'll hopefully be able to grab a solid color variant so jazzed that vagrant is finally doing repressings, better late to the game than never I suppose

Their initial post of just the test pressing on one of the titles was from Erika, actually....not saying that one of them isn't a GZ pressing, just would be odd to have both done at the same time from two different plants

Looks like playground equipment to me Sweet!
