Canada is interested in promoting its own product, I'm sure, but shouldn't people be interested in music / art / etc. because of what it is and not where it comes from? I can see what you're saying but I also think that it's a bit excessive to form a law around it. - Jeff I see your point, but I think it's cool of an English-speaking country so close to the U.S. make sure that their own culture is played on the radio, too, instead of just becoming "America Junior" in terms of what popular music gets played on the radio/TV. If it weren't for that law, you probably wouldn't see bands like Billy Talent or Alexisonfire achieve the success they have in Canada (which in turn lets them garner more respect in other countries), and you DEFINITELY wouldn't have seen Fucked Up playing live on MTV.

I work with the guitarist in Cheap Tragedies. Their demo is pretty meh, but I saw them with Polar Bear Club the other week and they were awesome. Did their singer come out in a luchador mask and wave around a big metal chain?

No Knife - Riot For Romance! import LP came in the mail today from Merch Lackey. What an awesome band.

I just saw Boys Night Out last night and it was weird seeing the Fullblast's drummer playing guitar for them now. Oh, and I just realized the "Canadian Invasion" tour I mentioned above was supposed to be BNO, Moneen, Alexisonfire and the Fullblast -- not Silverstein.

When I did interviews for Punknews, I used to always ask, "If you could prevent one person's death, would it be John Lennon's or Kurt Cobain's, and why?" It was always pretty evenly split, results-wise.

There was actually going to be a "Canadian Invasion" tour a few years back with (if I recall) Silverstein, Alexisonfire, Moneen and the Fullblast, but something happened and it fell apart.

My Thrice - Vheissu LP that I won on eBay (for 8 bucks!!) showed up yesterday, so I'm stoked on that. Anyone know pressing info for it? I can't find it online.

Malibu was the worst Gladiator. Tower and Laser were awesome, though. Gemini was too old. Zap always looked too plastic. God, why do I still remember their names? My dad took my brother and I to the "American Gladiators LIVE!" tour when we were kids, and it was AWESOME.

holy crap, you need to talk to my girlfriend! Every time I spend money on vinyl she tries to put it on her finger like an engagement ring. Start buying 45s with the bigger holes. Problem solved!

Dude, Yes, this stuff is the best. Fun Fact: my brother designed their website No way! Does he get free sauce for life? I would've taken that instead of money.

I'm not a fan of Crime In Stereo but that 7-inch artwork and layout is gorgeous.

Yeah, I am not into PTM or Tim Barry whatsoever, either.

You know they've been playing scattered reunion shows all year, right?

If only picking up this band's vinyl was as cheap as picking up their CDs -- Sugar's back catalog is available in every used record store in America, usually in the cut-out bin for pennies on the dollar. Bring in a 10-spot and walk out with everything they ever recorded. Great band.

But do you press the exact amount of Big Dirty picture sleeve copies that there are of the box set? What if all 1000 people don't order it? (Which is probably a possibility.) You can't sell them in stores or even in your regular online store, because I can't imagine people who don't have the box set wanting to pick up that version over a regular version. As cool as I think the idea is, I think it will be too much trouble than it's worth for Virgil to do a limited picture-sleeve run just for us. We're being a little selfish here.

Congratulations, xlovecolouredx! I can't think of a more dedicated, enthusiastic person on this board.

Matchbook Romance and good shouldn't be associated.

Don't tease me. I DJed throughout college (both on the radio and at parties) and miss it tremendously. I was offended when my sister didn't ask me to DJ her wedding last month. That bitch!

HEY! I just saw this and I couldn't just not say anything. I don't even know what to say, except a childish sounding "we're never going to break-up" type of thing.... Hey, best of luck and all that, you two seem perfect for each other. But I won't retract my statement until I see wedding pictures.

This is where it's at:

Jesu, Torche, Sunn O))), Sleep, Boris, Isis, most Hydra Head stuff, Converge. Don't care about any of them in terms of vinyl (and don't really like any of those bands outside of Isis and Jesu either).

I love you.

LOL

Holy shit, Mulligan Stu! I saw that band like every week growing up, they're from my hometown.
