My collection of Misfits records. These are all 100 percent originals. The only records of theirs I still need/want are the color vinyl versions of Earth AD, Bullet on black vinyl, and the Italian pressing of Walk Among Us on Expanded Music. Of course with what they go for these days that will never happen as I can't afford any of them.If it wasn't for the fact that I got these a million years ago I wouldn't be able to afford any of them these days! I love the band (the real band, with Danzig singing) but I'm not so crazy that I need all the weird variations like the plain label variants or any more recent pressings.
 

Quick update cause I'm tired and sore. Had surgery yesterday (wednesday), sat in pre-op for 5 hrs, took 5 tries for the IV, surgery itself went well, have an awesome gash on my chest, now we wait for results, hopefully I go home tomorrow. Goodnight I love you all

even if you dont like Masked Intruder, Keep it cause elway is the shit!

wow, your responses have me in tears, I'll respond to the original posts soon. You guys are so awesome, you have no idea how uplifting all your words have been. I've kept busy the last few days going to a couple baseball games and hanging with friends. Trying to stay positive, but sometimes it gets hard not to think the worst. But you wonderful people are helping tremendously. Thank you so so so so very much. I'll keep you all updated as things progress especially since it's a lot of unknown at this point. I know I will make it through, I have a wonderful support system at home. And of course you guys. You guys really don't need to get me anything as flattering and kind as that is. Your kind words are more than enough. I can't thank you enough.
 
P.S. Anyone else pre order the new MLIW LP? I just did, listening to the stream now, Holy poo. Go check it out!

I think some of you aren't really seeing the case for what it was in a legal standpoint. He was being tried for 2nd degree murder and only 2nd degree, it wasnt until the last couple days that the prosecution tried to throw manslaughter charges in there (way too late to put the defense on their heels) when they realized there was no chance at a murder 2 conviction.
As shitty of a law as stand your ground is...it had little to do with this case in court because of the murder 2 charge despite it being the centerpoint of the media, on the other hand if they would of been smart and charged him with manslaughter from day 1, we would probably be looking at a different outcome.
Basically, 2nd degree charge put all the pressure on the prosecution to prove that zimmerman got out of his car that night with an intent to kill the kid before any sort of confrontation happened...on the other hand manslaughter would of put all the pressure on the defense with the evidence against zimmerman as being the instigator by stalking, confronting the kid, etc.

Let me add..when the prosecution says something like "well maybe trayvon was on top but was in the process of stepping backwards when he was shot"...during a demonstration to prove that zimmerman was on top, you kinda lose reasonable doubt, probably lost the jury at that point as well, and definitely suck at your job as a prosecutor

And I dont blame the jury for the outcome, anyone who watched any of the trial knows it was pretty much a clusterfuck from a prosecution standpoint from day 1. As much as zimmerman deserves time in jail, the system allows him to pull shit like this and walk. Its not up to a jury in one case to change an entire system by undermining the way the system works just because zimmerman is an asshole. Changes have to be made from the top down not on s case by case basis. I actually like that the jury judged the case based on the trial alone, its very easy to let your emotions tell you to throw the book at someone despite what and how things are working within the realm of the court of law. The prosecution failed, the system failed..not the jury

You'll really be able to hear the half-hour difference!

The album Another Way sounds like it was recorded yesterday. There.s also a brand new mix of the A-Bomb 7" as well and it sounds like a new recoding as well. New mix on new equipment sounds sooooo much better......

Dear All,
 
I have resigned as a Mod.
 
Let me contextualize this and explain. In the past six months I’ve lost three people from my life, had a film premiere at Sundance, watched my beloved Jersey Shore destroyed, served four straight days without sleep responding to the crisis, completed a triathlon...my life has been the ultimate up and down story. I’ve accomplished as much as I ever have at the highest level and I’ve lost about as much as I can ever imagine.
 
A couple weeks ago my 27 year old cousin was found dead. As I’ve comforted my family, mourned my loss, cried my eyes out and wrote my eulogy I came to a conclusion. I’m in a very different place in my life than I was a year ago and my priorities have shifted significantly. I can no longer adequately moderate this place and you need a good mod – VC deserves better than what I can give when my heart isn’t in it.
 
The harsher reality is that in the past two weeks the thing that drove me nuts the most was my mod messages and that whenever I checked in here there was someone griping about something ridiculous. I feel I may have ultimately aged out of collecting vinyl or at least actively discussing it. Buying vinyl was the only way I could afford music when I began – the shittier the cover the happier I was because it would save me some money. The repeated griping over being screwed out of some limited color or someone pissed about a seam split or yet another $30 repress has me realizing that this isn’t what I loved about music. In fact, it’s everything I rejected. I didn’t want to buy $20 cds at the mall. I didn’t care about condition as long as the music was clean. I certainly never felt screwed that I couldn’t own a Youth of Today 7” with a Batman Stamp on it either.
 
So, I’m in essence leaving the circus. This has grown into something I can’t actively participate in and it makes me sad. What doesn’t make me sad is purging a ton of shit from my collection and instead spinning records with my three year old that he chooses based on the cover image (he is currently in love with the Dave Hause 7” series, he calls them the “number records”). That makes me feel good about music and vinyl. The self-entitled brats that have overrun this place do not and due to where I now stand in life I don’t have the patience to laugh and turn the other cheek. In a moment of self-awareness I can admit many of you have no issue with this so instead of clogging the board with responses it’s better for me to just hang back and chime every week or two when I have something of substance to offer.
 
I made a lot of good friends on here, I’ll be coming around from time to time but I don’t think I’ll be on as much ever again. Many of you have my number – text me or hit me on Facebook or PM me here since I get the emails. To anyone on here that ever pulled a record for me – Thank you for making this an awesome place, keep doing it. For anyone I ever pulled a record for – I hope you pass along the favor and that I helped you smile for a second.
 
Peace,
Jersey

good to have some more VC folks to follow, think i added everyone.

Am i the only one who hates this video update? i suppose people are testing it out today since its new, but im tired of being forced to watch 15 seconds of selfies, records spinning, or people eating food.  Now i wish i never downloaded the update.

Is it weird to collect cars if you don't have a license?  Is it weird to collect comics if you're illiterate?  The answer you're searching for is "yes".  That being said, you're supporting bands you like (WTF? Bands are charging $8 at a show for a 7"?  Really???) and there's value in that.  And if there is an endgame of you eventually owning a record player, that works, too.
