Guarantee I have never used this board before. I simply looked for a vinyl message board via google and this was the first I saw. I started the topic because I was interested in hearing some other people's opinions, maybe on bands that were similar or something else I should check into. I am not as connected as I once were to the music scene. Probably because I am older and I work and I have resumed my education and time is something I have very little to spare. Bake, this is only the second time I have ordered from SRC. The only other purchase I made was the release of Goldfingers debut. Have you had issues there? Satan, not sure what you mean by that. I live in Northwest Alabama, I work fulltime and I take online college courses. We aren't exactly bustling here with a punk rock scene. Not only do we rarely have bands of that genre play here, we certainly have no radio exposure for these types of bands, so yes Pandora seems a relatively reasonable outlet to hear this type of music from a part of the country not as often exposed to these types of bands. I am not 18 anymore, when I would sit for hours and look up bands on Epitaph, AF Records, Fat Wreck, Hopeless, etc. Maybe it has caused you a loss of words, but I am not ashamed that I found them via pandora, all things considered. Rare Color, not a big TBS fan,other than that particular album. But I appreciate the kind words regardless. If you are familiar with OWTH, which album of theirs would you suggest? I see SRC has three more.

I appreciate the genuine responses. I try not to insult others music taste. I agree, there is a bit of a cult fandom to AS. I just really like his stuff. I admit his last three to four albums were a disappointment, other than High End of Low, but that doesn't diminish his early work for me. As for the other responses, I really appreciate them too. Being an obtuse asshole on the internet is such a novel concept, never seen that before. Thanks.

Dawg, I do frequently purchase from Discogs. I have had a lot of success finding things on there and fortunately worked with really good people. But the Manson I generally find is outrageously priced. I just can't justify spending $150.00 on a record, regardless of how much I like it.

Thanks Monsterrod

I'm sorry if we aren't allowed to ask this type of question. I have looked for the rules and can't seem to locate them. My apologies.

Just picked up a few on ShopRadioCast.... Banner Pilot - Hearts Bleed Pacific I was really into the snotty punk sound of Fat Wreck when I was much younger (Strung Out, Nofx, Lagwagon, Screeching Weasel, etc) but admittedly fell out of that sound for awhile as I grew older. But hearing these guys recently on Pandora and hearing they were signed to Fat Wreck has kind of reengerized me. Off With Their Heads - Hospitals Another band I just recently heard for the first time via Pandora. Was really impressed with them and this was apparently their first EP. Really excited to hear it. I know one of the guys from Bad Religion said they were the best punk act out today. The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site I have really gotten into the whole alt-country thing (or americana if you so prefer) over the last 5 years or so, especially with the emergence of Drive By Truckers and Jason Isbell (both having roots in my hometown). This has lead me to bands like Two Cow Garage, Defiance Ohio and Lucero. I really fell for The Weakerthans, again hearing them on Pandora, but was shocked to learn it was one of the guys from Propagandhi. Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends One of my favorites cds from my 20's. I can't have a complete collection without it. Hope it is a good pressing.

I have seen a topic or two on this, most seem to be pretty old and generally devolve into fighting. But being a big Manson fan, I wonder if anyone has any news or speculation if there will be any represses? The only MM title I own on vinyl is Born Villian, which I am not too thrilled with. I have thought about buying Pale Emperor, but I really would love to have Portrait, AntiChrist, Holywood, Golden Age, and High End of Low. I apologize in advance if this topic has been beaten to death. I am still relatively new to vinyl (maybe a year or so) and still amazed at the information people seem to have when I scour the internet for hours looking for things.
