  1. Looking for copies of both Honorary Title albums; Anything Else but the Truth & Scream and Light up the Sky.

     

    I haven't been active on here for quite awhile so it was a big shock to see that I completely missed the Anything Else but the Truth repress, definitely one of my favorite albums.

     

    Shoot me a PM

  2. I'm in Norton right now. But when I was younger, I lived in Milford briefly as well as Norwood. These guys were playing at VFWs around there all the time with bands like Vanna and Therefore I Am. So much fun.

     

    I'm from Norwood. I bet I was in those same VFW and American Foreign Legion Halls with you. AL4W, Vanna, Therefore I Am, Faraway, Fordoes me Quite, the Northwood, The Receiving End of Sirens, etc. Good times. 

  3. Can someone explain how to read that site?  I understand that the fact they have Gaslight and JEW together as one entry indicates a tour is in the works, but do the date ranges mean anything about if people are actually going to tour vs. just not having anything going on, or anything like that?

     

    From my old experience with student government I imagine this list goes out to schools looking for concert/student outing/SGA performances. We had Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory both come to my college and they were booked for dates while they were already touring. It's likely that GA and JEW are doing a spring tour and are looking to fill in empty dates with college performances. Just my .02.

  4. I saw TGA at the House of Blues in Boston last night and Brian talked for several minutes about the fan club 7". He mentioned how the accounting office doesn't like it, the band is paying for it, etc etc.

    He said that it will be out this holiday season for sure and mentioned "bunches of records coming in the last couple days" so I assume that they've gotten the record.

    The band then played a new song "Halloween" which Brian stated would only be available on the fan club 7" record. It was a pretty sweet tune.

  5. I PM'd Patrick to find out what besides user names he'd need (if anything), and when he'd need it by. I can compile a list if no one else has already started it, and if he doesn't need it like 3 am. Hold off on contacting me until I hear back and confirm no one else is doing it, and can figure out the best way to get names.

    I would love to be included in this list. I would send a PM but VC is still acting really weird on both my laptop and phone. Is anyone else's browser not opening the site? Anyway, it'd be awesome if I could be included.

  6. It's funny going back and looking at my responses to this topic and realizing that a whole bunch of these albums have been pressed in the past year.

    The Ataris-So Long Astoria

    Damien Rice-O (Why does he only put out 7" records?!)

    Damien Rice-9 Crimes

    Dashboard Confessional-Places you Have Come to Fear the Most

    Dashboard Confessional-MTV Unplugged

    Dispatch-Silent Steeples

    Dispatch-Gut the Van

    Fountains of Wayne-Welcome Interstate Managers

    The Honorary Title-Anything Else But the Truth

    Junction 18-This Vicious Cycle

    New Found Glory-Coming Home

    New Found Glory-Catalyst

    Once-Original Soundtack

    Senses Fail-Let it Enfold You

    She Wants Revenge-S/T

    Sleeping At Last-Ghosts

    Something Corporate-Ready-Break

    Something Corporate-North

    Something Corporate-Leaving through the Window

    Sum 41-All Killer No Filler

    Yellowcard-Ocean Avenue

    I'm gonna keep pulling big time for Anything Else but the Truth and This Vicious Cycle. I'm shocked we haven't seen a Something Corporate press yet. I remember hearing rumblings from someone on here awhile ago about it.

  7. I was running an old Realistic Lab-1500 turntable through a pair of Bose Companion II speakers (all I had) for about two years (the speakers were much older, previously used for my computer) until they crapped out on me the other day.

    I'm looking for a decent set of speakers that would work well with the LAB 1500 shy of $300+. Speakers in the 100-200 dollar range would be excellent. Any suggestions/links/advice/random thoughts would be highly appreciated.

  8. wasn't even aware there was a market for north american pop punk bands there... you learn something new every day.

    Asians absolutely love Sum 41, weirdly enough.

    In "One Nine Nine Four" the documentary on the growth of punk in the 1990's/2000's they talk about how all these american pop punk/punk bands got brought to certain locales in Asia by surfers. As a result some bands, like Sum 41, Mxpx, New Found Glory, etc. got real big over there in certain markets closely linked to the surf scene.

  9. Third call to Paypal, got a super cool supervisor (Steve?) who knew of the situation, instantly credited me my $44.00 (after two representatives had told me there was no way).

    Steve? and I chatted for a minute while accounting processed the refund for me and he asked me how many records/orders I estimated the company did and what the value might be (he seemed sincerely curious). I told him the numbers 3,500 records, average price of 30odd per. He then mentioned they've dealt with disputes for around 1/3 of that. Pretty intense.

    Glad this is finally over with. I'm happy to be walking away with, at the very least, my refund and increased appreciation for the genius of Shaq.
