Yeah, that's it. Iceland not Germany. Booooo.

Pretty good deal if you're into that stuff. FOT is awesome. The rest ....

Is your star sign ever wrong? Big deal.

Wait, I got excited thinking it was the German industrial/noise band. Is this not them?

Have you heard the first Rival Schools record? It's amazing. Woke up at 12:30 for some reason so thought I'd go ahead and order. Got the 180g + CD. Picture discs suck.

A quite underrated band actually. Never knew the drummer sang.

They also have Bandwagonesque on black vinyl for $24. I've wanted that record so long so I bought that bitch. One of the few records I slept on when I shouldn't.

If I'm picking just one it's the tour version of Hope Con's "Endnote."

Everyone knows Jason did it. Here's what went down: Jason asked OJ to borrow the car. OJ said "Aks you mom." Now do you see?

I love this album so much. Yeah, I know it's totally cliche but it's the truth. And as for iconic imagery, is there anything more so than this album art?

And in 20 years, when it's nice and stocked, Koreans will begin to take hunting trips there.

I didn't read the whole thing, but in case it wasn't mentioned: iMic and Final Vinyl work fantastic.

I'm not sure Americans know what a "Fayre" is, but hopefully they'll figure it out. A lot of the terminology was foreign, so to speak. Also, I hope I got the exchange rate correct. I don't want to mistakenly give her the impression that I make $10,000 a week and spend $50K a year on records. It's only about half that. JK.

God forgive me for saying this, but it sounds like something Higgs would release.

I do, but I think I have just one and I have to keep one. I'll look though.

Jeez that's amazing news. I always thought "The Earth Is Flat" was kind of boring honestly. Every song has that same choppy vocal style. I mean it was awesome the first few times of course, but I don't think it's as monumental as some people seem to.

I like it too. I've been listening to this more lately. Once you get over the Yow thing it's a pretty awesome record. Does anyone have digital files of the Cave In record?

http://alarmpress.com/shop/alarm-2010-holiday-sale/ ALARM is offering a pretty rad holiday-season package deal on a bunch of books, a T-shirt and ALARM buttons. If you're unfamiliar with ALARM, it's a quarterly music, art and culture magazine that reads and feels like a book. It's the kind of publication you save, put on the shelf or lay around the living room for your smarter visitors.

The Dead Milkmen were hilarious. Their onstage banter was fantastic and they were so tight and in tune with one another that they could do any off the cuff silliness and pull it off. So great. Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza were pretty fucking funny too.

He said vinyl.

Yo let me get those pain killers in the second photo.

Yep. I demanded one in my car when I bought it new in 2002. Back then there were still a few cars with them, but already getting rare.

Me, skating my vert ramp in 1989. I'm 14 or so.

I already know the new Skull Defekts record will be on my 2011 list. That thing is a fucking beast.

How is "Lucky Me" not on your list, considering your avatar?
