  1. This is a band that was formed when I was in high school and one of my friends was in it. He isn't anymore.

     

    This was the first music video they made a couple of years ago.

    I don't really like the song myself. But they're going for this poppy/ska sound which is at least a little interesting. The singer is kind of a douche. I went camping once with a bunch of my friends and we had a fire going and he showed up from some other campsite with sandals, ripped up jeans, and an acoustic guitar, not kidding.

     

    They have changed band members quite a bit since. And the singer posted a picture of a mountain of money on facebook with the comment being "this is why i make music"

     

    Now this is their most recent music video.

    I didn't really like them in the first place. But at least it seemed like they weren't being the MOST generic lame ass band in the world. But I think that's changed.

     

    Oh and since that music video I guess they've got a new drummer.

     

    It's probably a dick move for me to be bashing someone following their dreams. But...I just.... I fucking hate them. Oh and I've been neighbours with the singer for the last 8 months. So I get to hear them practice this song over and over again. That might be helping this.

  2. What do you guys use to display the sleeve of a record as you play it?

     

    I find a flat surface parallel to the Earth, and then I look for a spot with another surface running perpendicular to it.  I then place the top of the record against the perpendicular surface with the bottom against the parallel surface. So that the  line formed running from the top of the sleeve to the bottom of the sleeve form an angle of approximately 25 degrees to the parallel surface.

     

    I lean it...on a shelf...up against a wall.

  3. I only like buying older albums if they're in really really good condition. I don't like having beat up copies in my collection. The other day I grabbed

     

    Yes - Tormato

    and

    Klaatu - 3:47 EST

     

    I really want to get all of Klaatu's albums. I was just reading about the interesting rumours where people thought they were an anonymous side project of The Beatles and that helped drive sales of their albums.

  4. Got an amazon gift card for my bday and threw it down on:

     

    Scars On Broadway- S/t

    Shad - Flying Colours

    Infantree - Wouldwork (probably the most pumped for this one)

    The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement

     

    They're all great albums that I have been wanting for a long time.

  5. Good:

     

    -Citizen/Turnover - Split 7"

    -Into It Over It - Proper

    -Mixtapes - Ordinary Silence

    -Between The Buried and Me - Parallax Hypersleep Dialogues RSD Boxset

    -Have Heart - The Things We Carry

     

    Not So Good:

     

    -Troubled Coast - I've Been Thinking About Leaving You

    -The Gaslight Anthem - The B Sides

    -Lowtalker - The Marathon EP

    -Patti Smith - Outside Society

    -Rise Against - Siren Song of The Counter Culture (Not as good as I remember it being)

    -Modern Baseball  - You're Gonna Miss It All (Bought it after hearing "Your Graduation". Didn't like any other song)

    -Bon Iver - Beth/Rest 12"

     

    I'm sure there are more on both ends, but that is all that I can think of at the moment.

     

    Don't even.

  6. The best part is that there are four different sets of picture discs. I don't know if there are 1,000 of each or 250 of each for a total of 1,000, but having #8 seems pretty cool to me. My images are, from side A to D, the Spiderman 3 logo (black), Spidey hanging upside-down looking into a window, Harry Osborne's kid, and then Spiderman in the Venom suit looking very majestic. 

     

    Something deep inside of me wants the other three sets... and I have no idea why. 

     

    Because it's so random and that would make it so awesome.

     

    Sounds like you got cool images. There is one of the four versions on discogs. But it's not the one you have.

  7. I pre-ordered the Ultra LP, I tell you what. Hopefully Bobby doesn't try to use it for one of his got-dang comedy acts.

     

    I'm a vault subscriber so I've got it pre-ordered automatically. Gotta say I am quite excited :P

     

    My pickups today as a birthday gift from my fiance's mother :

     

    Metric - Live It Out (been meaning to get this one forever)

    CCR - RSD 69 singles

     

    and my favourite and the cheapest one (5 bucks for a near mint copy)

     

    Bob + Doug Mackenzie - Great White North

  8. Today I bought the double picture-disc Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. It was $8 and it's numbered #8/1000, so I'm feeling pretty good about that purchase. I mean, the movie sucked, and they're picture discs, but they do look pretty cool.

     

    You just put that on my wantlist. I want the soundtrack to this terrible terrible movie :P

  9. Havent been collecting for long so I have no regrets about selling because I actually have never sold any of my records...but I do regret is not buying a copy of Matthew Good - Lights of Endangered Species when it was in print... My favourite album by him and I realize after I start collecting records that his records always go out of print once the next one comes out and he has never repressed anything... 

  10. Wow someone actually sold this.... Nice grab for you but pretty dumb for whoever let it go. But I guess it's just a matter of taste

     

    All three were sealed. It was a trade for something of relatively high value ($70+)

     

    I'm really loving it. Had never heard the songs before.
