I guess I side with the elders of the board while only being 21. Is there really any other option though? What was originally described as pop-punk when pop-punk came about surely is more likely to fit the tag than whatever came afterwards. Don't misconstrue this as me trying to create some new, lousy subgenre, but the newer stuff that isn't clearly pop-punk is some kind of post-pop-punk (if that makes sense...). I mean... that would be like me looking at hardcore and calling it metal because it's loud, heavy, and fast. It KIND OF makes sense, but hardly stands any ground as a valid opinion when you SERIOUSLY consider what it means to say something dumb like that. (I hope that came out of my head right... I'm tired as shit right now.)

On the note of getting the actual vinyl signed, though I'd never do it since there is a sleeve that is perfectly suitable for those "needs", I have HEARD/READ that those signatures don't really affect the playback... I don't know what to think about statements like that, as they don't make sense to me, but since I've never done it, I've never experienced it, so I can't say whether or not that's true. Maybe I'll find some piece-o-shit-wax and scribble all over it and report back.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!! And sadly... this...

yeah, but there's a difference between knowing its shit beer and being broke and thats all you can afford and being apathetically ignorant. i love busch tall boys in a can when i'm broke, but i know it's shit beer. i don't drink it because i prefer it over others. it's somewhat palatable compared to the rest. i don't even touch bud even if it's free. Haha I said "like" not "consume". You can drink it and hate it if that's what you can afford, go for it. I just don't understand frat bros who think natty is the nectar of the gods. Okay. I didn't want to say these things because I didn't want to sound condescending to anyone's financial circumstance, but seriously... what both of you said. I know this is a BEER thread, but it's like going to 7-11 and picking up the sushi they sell there. You'd have to be brain dead to put that on any kind of pedestal comparable to what QUALITY SUSHI is like. Personally, if I can't get a good beer (from being poor or being underage), I'll settle for a Bud Light since they taste like water and have the potential to do something if I decide to flood my system with that shit. But as I said before, I'd readily take a nice IPA over that lousy "inebriating" water.

But if I don't know anything, here's this: http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=relient+k+vinyl+countdown&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel= So no. Don't do it. Save yourself $150 and buy some grass or something.

I'd also point out that my most expensive vinyl purchase as of yet was the Melvins - Endless Residency boxset, and that was $180 + $20 for shipping and that had 8X12"... But I'm no Relient K fan, so I don't know what value that has as a reference point.

Those songs better have some serious meaning to you if you're willing to cough up $200 for a 7".

Re-voted and shared. Hot damn! I'm awesome!

So, I'm just connecting the dots that I'm missing the pink variant of this album in my collection and I have an extra grey marble variant (if I'm not mistaken, both are /500 first pressings... right?). Instead of trying to sell one and buy the other, why not trade? I'm not at my apartment right now (I will be in less than a week though), so I figured I'd see if anyone could help me out now before I forget that I thought of this. Hopefully I can get something set up by the time I get back home. Let me know if you're down to trade!

I assume you have a terrible stamina, or you got over with responding to this thread afterwards.

Heh heh heh. I try. Tomorrow, I'll see if I can post a link straight to the part where you confirm your not-being-in-Quebec so they can just press "vote". It's not letting me get to that part right now since I did it already today.

I say, if you can't drink the beer at room temp, it's not really a good beer to begin with. palatte, hell i tried getting my roommate to go eat out with me, but he wouldn't go because nothing on the menu he was familiar with, even though i told him it was excellent, he said, I'm not gonna try pork liver mousse. i dont' like liver, same for the foie gras. though neither tasted like your usual liver. he wouldn't try rabbit, he wouldnt even try beef tongue or risotto. he doesnt like indian food (even though hes never eaten it) either. it's quite sad, but he always says something to the effect of "you just starting eating that kind of food" who cares, at least i tried it and have a open mind about eating different foods than typical americanized food. that's how i feel a bout beer. some people just don't have a palette for it and just like shitty macro brew pilsners or ales. i do like a good ale though. Having grown up following my parents on their numerous worldly adventures, I've adopted a rule of always being open to try something AT LEAST twice. You seriously can never know what you're missing out on until you've personally experienced it. That's how I see it at least...

they do. I am weeping for you.

Don't sully the good name of power pop by associating it with the things you've described. Big Star is power pop, and they're better than everything. Don't get me wrong. I don't particularly care too much about aligning myself with a particular genre. I use them to differentiate one band from another. It keeps my files on my computer easy to navigate through the media player, and I can make appropriate recommendations. Music is seriously just either good or bad to me. I'm just saying that people shouldn't mix the idea of genre in terms of sound and genre in terms of appearance. I mean... things like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxcore should bear no relevance to the music itself (unless, for this particular example, you're really into the sound of a woman's voice vs. the sound of a man's voice, in which case I'd refer you to most of the new fandangled "post-hardcore/emo".) That's the point I was trying to make.

Oh. I hadn't even thought of that. I'll share with some clear instruction for the mindless Facebook peons later.

Yup. One whole finger. Your choice even! Oh, and nice list. I might take you up on that trade idea. I have to get home first though.

Just got my pledge in!

That's too good. Just... too good.

I believe I still have an extra maroon AJJ/CS split 7" at my apartment, but I'm out of state right now, so I can't check yet. PM me in a few days so I don't forget to if you haven't already found one.

The worst is when people mix up powerpop and pop-punk. Just because it has rock elements to it and the members dress like scene kids with swooping bangs, sassy accessories, and skinny jeans, doesn't equate to anything remotely punk...

i bought some Young's Oatmeal Stout for a party once, and one of the girls that i worked with tried to be sneaky and steal one and spit it out and said "that tastes like horseshit" and gave me the can and went back to the COORS LIGHT. She proceeded to tell me "man, you really like some crappy beer". I can't even begin to count the amount of times I've had something like this happen (I'm all about IPA's though) and gotten a similar - if not identical - reaction. It makes me cry a bit inside. Then again... I know people that think Taco Bell makes "good" tacos. You can imagine how little I respect the opinions of people I know when it comes to ANY kind of "taste" (music/food/drink/humor/etc.)

Ugh... Bud Light is like carbonated water that might make you feel a little funny if you drink a shit ton of it...

"Thanks for voting! Come back tomorrow to vote again." They should have a different response for people who come back.

Hahahaha!

You being a rampant asshole just didn't make sense. THIS does. Bitches be crazy dude. I had a similar thing happen recently, but it wasn't as extreme. I feel for you. Hopefully this new year will be better to you and your new endeavors work out. *knocks on wood* (just in case)
