Why don't people like black vinyl??
oakland replied to moonbeams's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
If black is an option, I always choose black. -
I Wish I Had Time to Do This with My Records

What an asshole. He only has one Fugazi record, no Lungfish and he has A Life Once Lost under "L." -

Record Sale in New Orleans, LA (11-12-11)
oakland replied to somethingvinyl's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Glad to see New Orleans records stores are still kicking. After the hurricane one of my favorite shops closed and moved to Austin. The owner said he was fine (located in the French Quarter) but all his customers lost their collections so they just quit collecting. I heard similar stories about other stores too. So good. Used to be my favorite place to go record shopping when I lived in Alabama. Actually it was just my favorite place period when I lived in Alabama. Not much going on there. -
I don't follow popular music, so I wouldn't really know how old she was, but I was shocked to find out she was only 27. I thought, by looking at her and listening to her, that she was at least late 30s. Drugs will just ruin your shit.

Life of Agony singer is now a woman...
oakland replied to mattisr1984's topic in Everything Else Message Board
I've known a lot of transgendered people in my life. While I don't think the things they chose to do fit in with "normal" peoples' ideas of gender, sanity, etc. I honestly have never met a trans person who was any more or less sane than anyone else. Imagine feeling strongly, almost obsessively, that you were meant to be something you aren't. That has to be a horrible feeling and I'm on the side of anyone who has the courage to face the torment and physical pain of gender reassignment surgery or just living as the opposite sex. Good for them. -
I watched the whole thing. It's funny. Not earth shattering, but good.

Coheed&Cambria bassist arrested for armed robbery!
oakland replied to scottheisel's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Well said. Being in a band, even a good one, doesn't give you the right to be a dick. And I'm with everyone who says drugs are bad. If you don't, don't start. -
Helmet Strap It On ORG Reissue PO up
oakland replied to burntwolf's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I like Aftertaste too, so you're not the only one. Fucking LOVE Betty. Of course the first records are amazing. In my opinion, the best song they ever did was "Shirley MacClain." Goosebumps even today. -
I can assure you the Mormons I've met won't find this funny. Thankfully I don't give a shit what Mormons think so I will be seeing this asap.

Yeah, but do you know any MORMONS who have seen it? Huh?

NATIONAL GO SKATEBOARDING DAY!
oakland replied to motorbike's topic in Everything Else Message Board
We had a great party at the local skate park. We had about 200 kids, lots of stuff to give away, had the barbecue rocking, a DJ -- the works. -
what has been a shitty thing youve woken up to
oakland replied to mossy's topic in Everything Else Message Board
I woke up one morning and my feet were cold. I pulled back the covers and my dog had puked all over my feet. She was still laying right there like nothing had happened. -
Amazing pics from the riot in Vancouver
oakland replied to monsterrod's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Kids in Boulder used to riot for wins, losses ... whatever. Just for shits. In fact one happened when I was seeing converge, didn't get to hang with my friends before they left town, got tear gassed, finally got into another music venue only because I had a press pass. Then spent like two hours listening to a terrible jam band while a riot raged on the street where my car was parked. Fortunately my car was fucked up enough that I guess they just figured it was already bad enough. A few new dents, nothing more. But the tear gas, holy shit that stuff is awful. -

He has a very interesting definition of what Dub is. -
Boy Sets Fire - Side Project NEW 7"
oakland replied to xschurzix's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The second Casting Out record is really good. Since they broke up right after it came out almost nobody heard it, but it's good. Much more BSF-ish, less poppy. But good. -

It would be rad to see how fast his cock get limp as a noodle once he pushes that plunger in. -
PO: Seaweed - Service Deck / The Weight
oakland replied to johnnyburma's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The only thing there I don't have is Weak. That record by the way was the very first CD I ever bought. I got a CD player maybe a year after they came out and I was so excited to go buy a CD, and that was the one. In the old long box too. Good times. -
The Unforgettable Fire is amazing. It's one of my all-time favorite albums. It's also the only U2 record I like at all. I don't know how the band that made that amazing, groundbreaking piece of art also made some of the shit garbage they have pushed out over the years. It like if Fugazi put out their first record, then became Sugar Ray.

PO: BRAID "Closer To Closed" 12" /1000 on white
oakland replied to scottheisel's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The HM EP is the best thing they ever did. I was so pumped when that came out, then the record dropped and I was underwhelmed. Still, better than most stuff. -

Your Ashes Pressed To Vinyl!
oakland replied to hipsterasfolk's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Wouldn't going for a fermented honey/water combo kind of be more of a prissy choice than a strong, choice lager? /don't drink, don't know There is a mead place out here. They have a number of options. Mostly it tastes like wine. I don't drink very much because most alcohol gives me horrible headaches. Mead is no exception. But the sweeter versions do taste pretty good. Way better than most desert wines.
