Just spoke to Pat. If you pre-order both the Strung Out will be set aside for your order.

Sweet!

Hmm, I ordered the NOFX LP together with the Strung Out LP. But now I wonder if the fact that this package won't ship before another month means that they will pick my Strung Out LP from a pile at that point, so I'll get a black one instead of a colored...? Or will they save a colored Strung Out for me until the NOFX LP is ready to ship? Anyone know?

Yeah, this song is the shit

I once made myself a gay/anti-homophobia themed mix. There's a couple of songs that maybe aren't strictly about homophobia (Bosstones, Latterman), but I needed a couple of more songs:

1. Good Riddance - Cheyenne

2. Propagandhi - Less Talk, More Rock

3. Lagwagon - Island Of Shame

4. Atom & His Package - Hats Off To Halford

5. Cursive - Bad Sects

6. Latterman - Good Morning, Here Is Jan

7. Strike Anywhere - Allies

8. NOFX - The Black And White

9. Green Day - Coming Clean

10. The Vandals - My Brother Is Gay

11. Propagandhi - Homophobes Are Just Pissed 'Cause They Can't Get Laid

12. Leftover Crack - Gay Rude Boys Unite

13. Screeching Weasel - I Wanna Be A Homosexual

14. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Let's Face It

15. Hot Water Music - Another Way

Will definitely pick this up

Alan (salaho) sent me the Pssst! 7", a 4-way split featuring Snuff, for free, because he noticed I am a Snuff collector. I only paid for postage. Really awesome of him!

In no particular order, and knowing that this list could change tomorrow:

Quart In Session

We Threw Gasoline On The Fire...

Linoleum

The Plan

The Desperation's Gone

I didn't think it was a particularly great release either when I first heard it. But slowly (yes, not quickly) it grew on me, and now I think it's a pretty solid album. I especially dig the Pissmops stuff. So I will definitely be picking this up!

Pre-ordered both the clear and the white "Diver" 7" by A Wilhelm Scream from Jump Start Records and never got them.

I've sent them at least 5-6 emails about it (since like, october), both to their general email address and to Jeremy himself....to no use. I'm pretty pissed about it.

I've visited Chicago three times, and every time I've paid a visit to this store!

Bookmarked!

I just created a new Facebook group dedicated to Hot Water Music vinyl-collecting. Seeing as collecting HWM can be a bit confusing at times due to the enormous amounts of variations, I thought it could be a cool idea for HWM-collectors to get together and share info, discuss, post pictures and so on. I'm not sure it will be a great success, but who knows. I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

If anyone wants to join, the group is called "Hot Water Music Vinyl Collectors".

Thanks for the kind words about my collection. It's getting more and more complete, although there's still a long way to go!

I've got extra copies of these:

Finding the rhythms on translucent purple + 7" /200 (13th pressing)

Never Ender on solid purple /200 (6th pressing)

(See link in sig for pics)

For a fellow HWM collector I'd let them go for $5 a piece. But shipping from Norway is very expensive. It would be $22 for those two bringing the total up to $32. If it's still interesting, PM me.

This is so much fun! I could sit here all night and do this!

I did another one

I don't have photoshop, so I made this using FSViewer. So it's not as awesome as a lot of the other ones on here, but I like both the picture and the quote I got.

I just watched "Tropic Thunder" for the first time today. I thought it was pretty good. Not hilarious, but pretty good.

But I didn't realize Tom Cruise was in it until about 3 minutes before the end. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Wait...is that Tom Cruise??!!

Friend: What the hell are you talking about?

Me: That totally is Tom Cruise!

Friend: No it's not!

Me: It sure as hell is! He's got one hell of a make-up job, but I'd recognize that ugly grin anywhere!

Friend: I'm not sure I believe you, but the end credits is coming up soon, so we'll see.

Friend, as the end credits shows Tom Cruise: WHAT THE HELL?!

And then we both felt awkward afterwards, because we both dislike Tom Cruise VERY much, yet we loved the character in the movie that turned out to be him. So against our will, we now have a little bit of restored respect for him. I feel sick.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Toxic Toast

Wow, my new favorite site! Funny shit.

How did the tip fit into the small hol....oh wait, they don't all have boners?

There's been a lot of strange stuff happening at my house.

For example, one time when I had just crawled into bed (like, literally 10 seconds after getting into the bed, so I wasn't dreaming it), I felt someone sitting down at the end of the bed, right where my feet were. I felt my feet drop down a bit and the mattress definitely gave in as if a significant weight was placed upon it. And right after that, the temperature in my room fell drastically. I had to tuck myself real good in under the blanket, because it got so damn cold. Some would probably say that 's just be me being scared and getting chills and goosebumps. But the strange thing is that I wasn't scared at all. Quite contrary, as all this happened I was totally calm, just being a tad puzzled as to what was going on. And looking back now, I can't explain why I was so calm. Cuz you'd think it would scare the shit out of me having "something" sitting down right next to me on the bed.

So that's just one of several strange incidents. And for the record: I'm a pretty normal guy, with no history of mental illness or anything. And I'm not making up these stories just to entertain people.

It took a while before "Single File" grew on me, but now I think it's one of the greatest albums ever!

And I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so forgive me if it's already been mentioned:

Cadillac Blindside - These Liquid Lungs

$77 (including intl. shipping) for a test pressing of Snuff - Tweet Tweet My Lovely

Yeah, I've heard a couple of songs from it, and it took some time getting used to. But they really grew on me.
