hickey

I've had three different versions of the salt girl shirt over the last 20 years--maroon with the Fs on the back, navy with full color graphic but no FS, and green with the Fs. Green is by far the best and they still have them.

I listened to this last night--sounds great. The fan-submitted songs are just ok, but the rest is killer.

For this reissue, Goner went back to the original DATs and tried to stay as close to the sound of the original lp as possible. The three incredible tracks from Empty's "Your So Lewd" 45 are included as well. Liner notes by Meghan Smith, Eric Friedl, and Zac Ives. Put the needle down or push play on the cd player, and stand back. From the opening chords of "Blew My Mind," you'll be hooked. Complete classic garage punk explosion, Memphis style. Listen HERE! 1. Blew My Mind 2. Alls I Got is R-N-R 3. Sick When I See 4. Lick on My Leather 5. You'll See Me 6. Sat. Night Suicide 7. Heart of Chrome 8. No One Stands Me 9. Tonight It'll Come 10.

Yes. Tracking number said it was delivered today. Of course, I'm out of town, so I'll have to check with my wife to make sure.

The day I started this thread. So, Jan. 21.

Really? I got an email yesterday about mine shipping yesterday and it was very friendly. (I ordered it before moving and was making sure that my new address didn't get lost in the shuffle.)

Apparently, clear is /500. It'll probably sell out today, so get on it quick.

clear vinyl here (/500): http://store.greennoiserecords.com/collections/dirtnap-records-releases/products/radioactivity-silent-kill-clear-vinyl-lp black vinyl here: http://store.greennoiserecords.com/collections/dirtnap-records-releases/products/radioactivity-silent-kill-black-vinyl-lp Seems pretty safe to assume that almost no one doubted Radioactivity's ability to follow up their 2013 Dirtnap debut with something equally stunning. Frontman and chief songwriter Jeff Burke (The Marked Men, The Reds, The Potential Johns) has certainly done more than enough to earn that kind of expectation and pressure. But Silent Kill, which finds Burke backed by Marked Men compatriot Mark Ryan and two-thirds of Bad Sports (Daniel Fried and Gregory Rutherford), does more than merely match the virtues of its self-titled predecessor. Radioactivity's first LP was rightly hailed as a sort of sequel to The Marked Men's remarkable run through the first decade of the millennium, and while Silent Kill bears the unmistakable hallmarks of that band's tightly wound "Denton sound," Radioactivity can now lay claim to a sonic territory of their very own. Burke's distinctive hooks dig as deep as ever, but the scope of his vision has expanded, and now that the Burke/Ryan/Fried/Rutherford all-star team has had some time to cohere, Radioactivity can do all sorts of damage in less than thirty minutes. Although the twelve songs on Silent Kill abide one strict rule--providing garage punk pleasure at all costs--Radioactivity bend that mandate in myriad ways. Breathless ragers like "Battered" and "No Alarm" are as fleet and raw as anything in the combined canon of Radioactivity's members, while mid-tempo heartbreakers "Way Out," "Connection" and "Where I Come From" find Burke and company opening up their sound to let in a little tenderness. And then there are songs like "Not Here" or "With You," which enact perfect unions of melody and kinetic energy. Admirers of Burke's legacy will be not only satisfied, but pleasantly surprised.

They've had a lot of misses recently, but hidden among them are some real gems. Their shows are still great, as well.

Also, looks like the "banned" edition is available again.

There was hype? I know it took forever, but I didn't see/hear any hype. Excited this is finally starting to show up.

Fat's 25th anniversary

All the moon stomper's what?

Sink or Swim>The 59 Sound>Get Hurt>American Slang>Handwritten I remember getting Sink or Swim and knowing very little about them and being absolutely blown away on the first listen (I never should've traded that first press black vinyl copy). The 59 Sounds is fantastic, but it doesn't come close to matching the energy and urgency of Sink or Swim. And their shows after SoS came out were unreal (though, they were awesome when they toured in support of 59 Sound too).

Don't take it personally. Everyone has different tastes.

It had a time and place. It was great at one time. And I'm not questioning its influence. But it didn't stand the test of time.

I agree with this. I loved it when I was a kid. I listened to it about a year ago, and it was pretty underwhelming. It's a good record, for sure, but that's about it.

Heard some of this on Tim's Sirius show. Sounded pretty good, so I grabbed it. Bummed there's no DL code with the record. Still, as far as tributes go, this one is solid.

If I win the test press, it's all yours, buddy.

I see where you're coming from. It's cretainly not a traditioanal SW album, so I'm not really approaching it that way. I think it works, and the songs are great. I'm also a huge Dwarves fan, so having Blag's vocals all over this is great.

I think it's fucking great. Well-written, catchy as hell, and the production is slick as balls. The vocals sound incredible.

Oh, it's definitely stupid. I'm just not that concerned about it, because I don't have to participate if I don't want to. This conversation raises an interesting question, though: what percentage of indie vinyl is sold in physical stores versus online? For smaller labels, is it even worth it to be in stores anymore?

Nothing in this thread prior to your post mentioned anything about the overall distribution model changing. That's a different situation altogether. Maybe RSD and vinyl Tuesday contribute to that, but they're just parts of the whole. If distributors overall are squeezing out indies--isn't No Idea a fairly large indie distributor?--then that sucks. My point, however, was that indies should stop complaining about RSD and stop participating if they don't like the direction it's heading. The web was awash with labels owners crying about RSD. Don't like it? Don't play. Or, better yet, find a way to change it. Crying about it isn't going to get your records into people's hands. You're not powerless.

If a record is released that I want, I'll buy it. If a record is released that I don't want, I won't buy it. I don't care about the sticker on it, the branding, if it's for RSD, if it's for Vinyl Friday, or whatever. Everyone is overthinking this. And who cares if indies aren't part of RSD? Indies seem to hate RSD now anyway. Yeah, your records may be delayed because of it, but if you don't want to participate, no one is forcing you. Put out the records you want and sell them how you want. If you make a good product, the right people will buy it. You want to create valuable customers, not onetime consumers who only buy your release because it has an RSD logo slapped on it.

It's ok to dis Judge--they can't hurt you anymore!
