Say hi!

We have two rescue pups.
 
Markley was found in a trash can in south florida, and is some kind of wire hair terrier mix.  He will be 2 in a couple months.

 
Stella was adopted from a shelter and is a pit/boxer mix.  She will be 12 in August.

sorry for the fuzzy & dark cell phone quality photos but i got two new 1x4 kallax shelves on friday and just got done organizing... just need to work on getting the 2x2 expedite loaded up and organized.  
  my newly updated record room, a work in progress.

framing the bike was too rich for my blood.
 
 
 
 
yeah, its the only option i had. We live in a tiny 890 sq. foot condo, no garage, and my wife's bike that was locked up under our car port got  stolen. So now my bike is stored as wall art.

thanks so much! it looks kind of random in this picture, but that's because i just ditched the computer that was sitting in the left corner under the Queers poster, with the monitor directly to its right. the turntable was totally on the other side basically under the boxing glove (which is an homage to the cover art of one of the releases i put out last year), so the posters fit PERFECTLY with everything that was beneath them. here's what it looked like originally:
 

 
if you notice, each poster within an individual column is the same width as every other poster in that column. that made the side-to-side growth easier and more uniformed as i got more posters. i recently had to add the 4x4 unit, so now i can hang a few of the bigger (18 x 24, etc) posters above that and not have to worry about matching sizes because one poster will complete a column above that expedit.
 
as long as you have a plan in place before you start hanging things, you can make it look pretty awesome pretty easily.

I actually don't defend this guy, and haven't for a long while. So please don't insinuate that i do. thanks!
Yes, he bought a shit ton of records/merch from me over a 1.5 year period, but i havent spoken to or dealt with him in almost 2 years now. Plus, i was more than willing to provide info to tittus (vinyljunkie) on the last address i knew, his cell #, as well as where he worked in order to help him recover his money.
I also dont live in jax anymore, so dont count on me to do anyones' dirty work.

Im going to be starting this process soon too.  I have a 2005 mazada 6 that has 166K miles, but is starting to go south after 9 years.  overall it was a pretty good car but did have several rounds of issues of the last few years that were pricey, and it didn't seem to hold up to wear and tear like previous cars (Civic and a Camry) and I'm not even that rough on my car.  

haha i wish. opening one in austin will be tough but also.....easy? we plan on really focusing on obviously records/cds/tapes etc, but also a place for smaller acoustic acts to play. My buddy, who is an audio engineer will fix gear that we buy/sell. owning a business is in my blood. we had a high end mens clothing store in my family for 50+ years. i can't wait to go broke keeping my dream alive 

my money has deep sentimental value to me.  It was given to me by a close friend who wanted my old iphone--which also had deep sentimental value as I purchased it from Steve Jobs, who has since passed away.

All of the variations of the first Suicidal Tendencies LP as of today. I'm sure they'll be sending me a couple new ones over the course of this year.
 

Kinda bored tonight so i figured i could add to this.
Not the biggest collection but i am building a decent jawbreaker collection:
(if you have anything i dont have and want to trade or sell PM me)

includes: Dear You - repress on blue/white swirl 2xLP
24 Hour Revenge Theorpy LP - Black vinyl
Bivouac LP - black vinyl
Fireman promo 7" - black vinyl
Live at Gilman 7" - clear blue vinyl
Split w/ Jawbox 7" - yellow vinyl
Busy 7" red cover - black vinyl
Busy 7" green cover - green vinyl
split w/ Samiam 7" - black vinyl
and My collection of Lawrence Arms records... Some of my favorite albums!

After over 15 years of searching for the green vinyl one, my collection is now complete!
 
  Note: I totally forgot to put the picture disc version in this photo but I do have one. This is every variation of Mommy's Little Monster. First six are the Triple X Records versions (black and 5 colors), bottom row is 1st press 13th floor gatefold, 2nd press 13th story non-gatefold, time bomb records version.

Please do not do the things that people are telling you to by loading your cart and seeing what the message says.  
It seriously can mess with store's inventories.  
If you want to know, hit up the label via email, or twitter or whatever. 

meh, the new year isn't even here yet but will start poorly.
 
my 90 year old grandma fell this morning, and broke her hip.  she has surgery scheduled at 10am tomorrow.  
 
getting up to meet my family before the surgery will be a task... today was pretty shitty and i have already started drinking, so tonight will be interesting. 
 
nonetheless, happy new year to all you folks.

Not the best pic but gets the idea across. My Less Than Jake 7" collection. Now to find time to do the same for LPs and the other random records they have.
 

Got bored the other day and started a vinyl only account Instagram account
Personal: MrMattChrist (dogs, beers, bike rides...)
Vinyl only: MrMattsVinylCollection (will be posting lot of melodic punk rock, hardcore and SkatePunk vinyl)

super old, but not missing to much... not pictured but added the colored box set, but not the fat store version. I also traded my opaque blue twisted by design.
