My wife and I got a 30% off coupon, plus the $15 Hot Cash, which is for the week of 1/15-22, but you evidently have to hold onto your receipt to use it in the store. Otherwise, it's an online code for $15 off any purchase over $30. They're evidently having a bunch of other sales this weekend, but they're not sharing what they are.

Ordered myself a Ska Is Dead set.

FUCK. I totally forgot about the S/T when I was making an order at my local shop.

Schlocky ridiculousness. The Frankenstein's Monster's first speech is sampled in RJD2's "The Horror."

An insane amount of patience.

I used to find old Drive Thru bands' self-released stuff on CD for a quarter and flip 'em on eBay for $60-80. Did the same thing with Goldfinger's Richter, too. Now that nobody buys CDs, it's a waste of time to even browse. Did manage to buy a copy of Alice In Chains' "Angry Chair" single for $8 and sell it for $60 not four hours later.

One of my faves. Saw it with a Q&A from Linnea Quigley and Linda Thompson last month.

I did this last year, and it was a ton of fun - a different horror movie every day for the last two weeks of October. I'm not doing weekends this go-'round, because who fucking reads blogs on Saturday and Sunday? Anyhow, the whole thing can be found right here - http://www.nuthousepunks.com/blog/?tag=halloween-marathon What movies are you guys watching this season? Anything I ought to check out that might've slipped below my radar?

Really looking forward to this. That EP of theirs was STELLAR.

Link? I'd love to hear the whole thing.

I've been growing my beard out for two months (2 weeks ago: http://twitpic.com/6mkmz0). The wife's going to be a carnival barker, and I'm going as a bearded lady.

That was a great tour.

Seriously. People, if you're interested, hit me up. I am always willing to listen to records and ask you questions about them.

That won't start until they're about 11 and able to stay home by themselves. until then, have fun.

Hey, so I like getting people to visit my blog, and you like people to know about your band or label, so howzabout sending me records to play on my podcast or review on the blog? I'd also love to share advance MP3s, or talk to you about your 'zine, or any of a series of things. Needless to say, we're a little shy of new material 'round here, so feel free to check out the blog, see what you think, and hit me up via DM or e-mail. http://www.rockstarjournalist.com Alex at Grave Mistake, Sam at Traffic Street, CJ from Big Eyes, Daniel from Sorry State, and assorted other people can vouch that I'm not a crank.

I'm on my third bottle of Warsteiner Oktoberfest, and I'm pretty much certain I'm gonna go see the Slow Death play downtown tonight, even though I have to work at 4am. Maybe if I just sleep at work, which is like two blocks from the bar?

If there were a non-album track on these singles, they'd be worth grabbing. If they're ALL going to be on the LP, I'll save my money.

Depends on with whom they've been "involved." Know what I'm saying?

My wife simply said, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... NO."

Bumpity bump bump. Just need the last one, and my collection is complete. Who wants to help a brother out?

Ugh. Sickened at how cheaply I sold mine for a few years back.

Somebody ought to buy that Micronotz record. Choice Midwestern punk rock right there.

They played in '96, too.

It's your wedding. Play whatever you want. I'd suggest staying away from profanity-laden lyrics, especially considering you're going to have older folks there, but it's your call. At our reception, we took a playlist that was culled from pretty much everything we had in iTunes at the time. I'd just play tracks, and my wife would say "yes" or "no." We ended up with a lot of murder ballads and oddball stuff that fit our mood. The first two songs that played were "Delia's Gone" by Johnny Cash, and the Mountain Goats' "No Children."

Easiest: if you have a DVD player in your computer, play it, then use Audacity and the record onboard sound option (stereo mix). Once you've got the whole bigass track, split it up using "add label at selection," and "export multiple." You'll have the option of exporting as WAV or MP3. Use WAV, then burn 'em off. Piece of cake. If you don't have a good soundcard (i.e., if you're using a laptop) hook up the line-out audio on your regular DVD player (or X-Box, Playstation, whatever) to the line-in on your computer. Then follow the instructions as before.
