nice way to minimize things because somehow it's inconvenient for you to stop giving shitty people your money.  as if because she opened a few dates for Ryan Adams in 2017 she got famous!? that's insulting. the 13 year-old bass player was "god-damn fame hungry" and couldn't help but play along? Roman Polanski isn't just a "perv", he was a 43 year-old man, who drugged and sodomized and 13 year-old girl. oh, then he plead guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. then on the eve of his sentencing he fled the country and hasn't been back since for fear of having to actually serve time for the unlawful sexual intercourse he plead guilty to. he's made some incredible films, but for fuck's sake...

Wow, don't know about you, but for me this Beach Slang news is like a heavy-hearted, youthful rebellion cigarette in the gutter, dusty thrashed record cover, glam-bam swagger of a kick in the balls.

Fleshies - Introducing the Fleshies LP is out May 3rd via Dirt Cult
 
Check out a song premiere via Punk News here
Preorder (limited edition blue vinyl/200 and black) here
 
FLESHIES (est. 1999) are a loud punk band from Oakland, California. They are noted for their intense, wild, and often homoerotic stage presence, abrasive-yet-catchy songs that warp and invert countless rock and punk tropes, radical (verging on wingnut) left-wing politics, and punishing tour schedules from the past (133 shows in 131 days at one point in 2003). They have released numerous well-received albums and singles on labels such as Alternative Tentacles, Recess, Life Is Abuse, Thrillhouse, and Adeline, and are on countless compilations (such as MaximumRocknRoll’s “Noise Ordinance” LP).
 
“Introducing The Fleshies” (Dirt Cult Records), the band’s new full-length album, represents a return to form, capturing the energy, raw power, incisive lyrical commentary/humor, and brutalist melodicism of their earlier releases like “Kill The Dreamer’s Dream” (2001) and “The Sicilian” (2003). Recorded and engineered by Brian Plaskett, mastered by Daniel Husayn (North London Bomb Factory). (The) Fleshies are Mattowar, Yvan Kawecki, John No, Brian Plaskett, and Hamiltron (all of whom are original members).
 
FFO: Poison Idea, Vexx, Fitz of Depression, Hickey, Born Against, Scared of Chaka, Night Birds, Neighborhood Brats, Sparks

“Fleshies are one of those rare punk treasures that always knows how to kick out the jams live. And while the band labels its genre ‘Mysterious Guy Softcore’ — a play off the once trendy micro-genre of Mysterious Guy Hardcore — its sound is anything but. If you're into frenetic, fast-paced rhythms and off-kilter guitar and vocal workouts, expect to receive your just rewards. Singer John No doesn't sit idle during the band's shows; he can often be found working the crowd into a frenzy.” --Eddie Jorgenson, SF Weekly
 
"These hyperactively yelping Oakland artcore minutemen very much deserve to suck. Yet, somehow, they don't." - Chuck Eddy, Village Voice

I got the deluxe edition from Sub Pop and there seems to be a lot of surface noise on side 1. Anyone else having the same issue?

Another big sale happening at UO:
 
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp?id=SALE-MUSIC&cm_sp=SALE-_-L2-_-SALE:SALE-MUSIC#/
 
I know, I know... UO sucks at everything. After my last order I swore that I'd never order from them again, but I couldn't pass up a few of these deals. 
 
Lot's of $4.99 LPs, some of which are sold out/selling out quickly. I just scored 6 records for $40 shipped.

Here's what I know.
 
East Side:
 
Permanent - My favorite record store, really easy to keep up on his stock if you keep an eye on his discogs page.  Owner Lance has a sixth sense for sniffing out rare private press records and awesome old punk/psych/krautrock.  He also does the best at stocking garage rock from Australia, which is an important criteria for me.  
 
Wombleton - Always has a dozen or so records that I would bleed to own in my collection but his prices really stick the knife in and twist it.  OG britpop and Flying nun aplenty, come for the original pressing of Loveless and stay to drool on the OG Nick Drake.
 
Gimme Gimme Records - Old school  record shop owner seems to have an unlimited stock of records and every time I stop by his shop it seems like it has almost completely turned over.  Good stuff at reasonable prices.
 
Mount Analog - I find this store hard to maneuver but it sure looks pretty and they are probably the place to go if you're looking for weird minimal synth records or obscure new avant garde electronica.  
 
Hollywood/Echo Park
 
Amoeba - The best record store in LA.  Don't let anyone tell you any different.  They get so much stock on a daily basis that I almost always find something I need to own and usually find it at a reasonable price (discogs median or lower) and occasionally I find something that's so ridiculously underpriced I can't believe my good fortune (last night I found Flaming Lips cover album of Stone Roses for $30 with "light wear").
 
Rockaway - Focuses on memorabilia but I've found some good stuff here and I always find their prices good and generous, especially when taking into account the grade.  I am especially fond of their 7" section.
 
Origami - Does a great job of keeping up with all the local bands and you can find some gems if you dig (especially recently OOP records).
 
Blue Bag - I almost never make it over here but this is another old school record owner type guy who has a lot of back stock and usually prices things pretty reasonably.  He has a lot of lower priced records that are worth the dig.
 
Mono Records - Small stock and easy to go through this store, he mostly focuses on punk stuff but has a lot of friends in local bands too and I think they bring in some local stock.  I've found good stuff here but it's a total crapshoot.
 
Vacation - I hardly go here anymore because I find the prices are too high.  Probably the most essential record store in LA if you are into Metal.  
 
Headline Records - Keeps up on punk releases and has a lot of new punk shirts, I've only really found this store helpful when digging through their stock looks for records from a few years back and they carried and never sold. 
 
Jackknife - Not really worth checking out unless you really love old tapes.
 
Lolipop - Not really worth checking out unless you really love local LA tapes.  See also Gnar Burger.
 
Counterpoint - Impossible to park here because of UCB right next door and the few times I have gone here I've found it overpriced and not worth the time and effort to dig (and climb their stupid ladders)
 
High Fidelity - Haven't been here for awhile and I've never found anything really worthwhile.
 
Record Collector - Hilariously awful record store.  No prices on anything and an owner prone to hissy fits.  Visit their yelp page some time and you will find hours of entertainment.
 
The Valley:
 
Freakbeat - Good store with decent stock and fair pricing.  Leans towards psychedelic and classic rock.
 
Atomic - Leans very hard on classic rock but if you need a Led Zep record for under $20, I bet you'll find it here.  Decent selection of wall items too
 
CD Trader - Fine.  If you end up in this part of the valley this is about the best you can do.  Probably only worth checking out their new arrivals section.  
 
Westside:
 
Record Surplus - I don't usually find much here but they do have a lot of classic rock and they usually price things conservatively.
 
Touch Vinyl - I've never found anything here but the owner seems like a nice enough dude.
 
Soundstation - If you are near the airport with time to kill you might find something decent here but I've found they tent to not take condition into consideration when pricing.  
 
Long Beach/OC:
 
Fingerprints - Feels like an old school record store and they have some cool events.  I haven't really found much notable in their used bins but I never mind browsing.  
 
Bagatelle - Walking distance from Fingerprints and essential if you have the time to dig.  Their stock is not organized very well and they don't have prices on a lot of the records but when you do find something you'll probably be satisfied with the price he quotes (it is usually very fair).
 
Port of Sound - I've only been here once but I liked this store.  He has a VPI cleaner and so the stock is very clean and pretty reasonably priced.
 
Radiation - A disaster to browse through, it's probably just easier to stand in the store and look at their discogs page rather than browse the chaos, but even then he might not have that in stock.
 
Glasshouse Store - I've found some good punk records here at a decent price but it's very hit or miss.
 
Burger Records - They have some new good tapes.  I don't usually find anything great in their used section.
 
Rhino - I only really like this place for the new stock that has gone OOP.
