It's rigged maaaannnnnnn

I do the same, sometimes it easy and sometimes its hard. whenever I am on the West Coast I always make a point to hit up Amoeba or Rasputin's. If I am going to be in a place that it might be harder to find a spot I reach out on a message board or something.

Especially malls with Hot Topics in the suburbs.

The funny thing is that when I bought it I had never actually used a ride on. I had to teach myself how to use it after it was dropped off. I can now mow a perfect figure 8.

Finally got the No Tolerance LP. Jamming it now.

Before my sabbatical from here I got in a little hot water for trolling some super huge Brand New fans.

Clinton/Trump is 2 pounds of shit in a 1 pound bag.

Is Brand New still insanely popular on this board?

Armageddon Shop is the best record store in the Boston area.

He could walk up to a podium and fart into a mic and people would still vote for him. That above quote about Planned Parenthood is the dumbest thing I have ever read.

Does the Tape Exchange still exist in Pheonix?

If you guys want to hear some stuff that most def. Does not hold up from the late 90's into the 2K's go look up Red Roses for a Blue Lady.

I don't know if I was just getting jaded but it just seemed that most peoples main concerns were color vinyl or pressing info and not what's on the actual record.

You can do what I did, befriend the employees and eventually ask if they can stock some stuff you are interested in.Even get a couple friends together and go to a store and let them know that all of you guys will buy a certain release if they stock it. Trust me it works. Next thing you know they will be ordering stuff just for you and holding used stuff for you as well haha.

So I can't help but notice that the average age seems to be younger than myself. I see all this talk about preorder and online ordering. Do you guys still go to physical record stores. Do you know the names of the people who work at them? Do you hang around them? Am I getting old? Do you realize how important these kind of places are? Just throwing this out for conversation.

If Trump wins I'm just going to get ready for the bread line, or die in a war, or be sent to a camp.

Try not to mosh to Nerdy, I dare you. I listened to Shai Halud " Heart once nourished..." the other day, it also holds up. Everything else, not so much.

Am I one?

It's a message board and I am having a slow day at work.

I actually think that's one of the only records that holds up.

I am getting a little defensive because that store has done a lot for the music community, if it didn't exist a lot of bands or venues would have gone down hill around here. If the store didn't exist I probably wouldn't be I to the music I am into, have the friends I have, seen the bands I have seen. Also, your original statement is incorrect and it aggrovated me.

They have several top lists in the front of the book but it's by the writers opinion, each one is pretty much different. When you go over the lists for each team, for the first time in a long time, a lot of #1's are position players.

#1 example of this was Rodney Harrison, MFer was a cheap shot artist before he came to them and the whole time he was here. Randy Moss, the king "push off" master. Watched a game with him where he legit shoved a corner to the ground and no flag was thrown. Albert Haynesworth, you guys ripped him so hard, until he signed here. " He is gonna turn it around, the Patriot way." Tebow, dude was eviscerated here, again, until he signed here Every old bum brought into camp Also, every QB you draft is the next Tom Brady.

So a store that has been selling music for about 35 years has been cash grabbing this whole time? Is that a "cash grab" or running a successful business? I don't know if you live in the area but they have actually almost supported a music community that whole time by giving smaller bands and labels a place to sell there releases. For every $40 repress they probably stock 500 reasonably priced records from bands that would'not have anywhere else to sell them.

They have sold records since very early on. The first store started to sell vinyl shortly after opening because they would carry stuff that the chain stores wouldn't, they became the one stop shop for punk stuff. They existed way before CD's were the norm.
